After greeting the elders first, Shi Xianrou pulled Qian Wanjin and turned around to sit next to Liu Yusheng. “I was still guessing when you would come, thinking to join you then, but look at you. You’ve come by yourself.”
Liu Yusheng teased, “You still have to queue up to buy fried spring rolls at the restaurant every day. I’m not going to wait for you.”
A certain Jin, who was eating fried spring rolls, blushed and averted his gaze without speaking.
The elders of the Qian family watched the unfolding scene and once again burst into smothered laughter.
“It turns out that Xianrou and Miss Liu have such a good relationship.” Madam Qian looked at the two young girls with a soft smile.
The mother knew her son’s mind best. When Miss Shi wanted to go to Xinghua Village with her son, she was secretly afraid that something would happen when the two girls met because of jealousy.
She didn’t expect things to turn out much better than she had expected.
Shi Xianrou replied with a smile, “I am too rigid in nature. I don’t have many deep friends, but Miss Liu is good-natured and happens to get along with me.”
“You also know that you are rigid in nature,” Qian Wanjin muttered vaguely with something stuffed in his mouth.
The woman in question smiled and looked at him. “Except to you.”
“…” The Young Master’s face reddened again.
At the main seats, the grandparents exchanged glances and couldn’t help but laugh.
The kid had frequently escaped from marriage, and this fight lasted seven years. In the end, the elder gave a death order to capture him back and take part in his blind date.
They did not even hold out hope that it would work at the beginning. After all, Shi Xianrou came from a general’s house. Her family background was too high for a merchant family like them to climb.
It was a marriage of unequal status, so they were afraid that the girl wouldn’t fancy their grandson.
It came as a surprise when it worked out this time. The girl even condescended to lower her dignity, and made their boy even more lawless than before.
The two were now getting along better and better, and this marriage was bound to happen.
The woman across the seat glanced around the three young people and covered her lips with a soft smile. “Wanjin and Miss Shi are getting better and better, and our house is expected to have a wedding soon.”
“It’s good to have a wedding. It’s good to have a wedding! How many years has it been since our house has had a wedding? If it works out, I’ll prepare everything myself this time!” The old lady nodded her head repeatedly.
In a rare moment, Qian Wanjin did not open his mouth to refute. He just buried his head to eat his food, and his head was also burrowing lower and lower, pretending not to hear.
His ears were exposed, however, and they were so red that they were dripping with blood.
What else didn’t the Qian family understand?
As long as the grandson was willing to marry, they would also have nothing to worry about.
The Qian family was sparse, waiting for the younger generation to start passing on the lineage!
Wasn’t it why they drafted a weird rule that they should get married at fifteen?
Liu Yusheng listened to their banters, and the corners of her lips gently stretched. No wonder Qian Wanjin always said he was spoiled growing up.
It seemed to be true.
Once they got married in the future, coupled with Shi Xianrou, this husband-protective devil, his life could be considered a huge perfection.
Meeting the right person at the right time and harvesting their own happiness; she was truly happy for them both.
Madam Qian has already called the servants and ordered the kitchen to prepare lunch.
If ordinary people had visited their house, their family was unlikely to make such a huge effort. Even court officials of the third or fourth grade came to visit, it was difficult to see the entire Qian family.
Although the Qians didn’t have a deep background in the court, the contacts they’ve accumulated over the years in business were definitely not to be underestimated.
They might not necessarily attach importance to average officials.
But Liu Yusheng was different.
First off, she was a business partner who has been working with their family for many years; and second, she was ordained as County Lady. Not to mention her rank, the most important part was that King Nanling was standing behind her!
That was why their family waited there to receive her!
Businessmen valued profit, attached importance to contacts, and were worldly-wise in interpersonal relations. This was the nature of businessmen.
They weren’t calculating Liu Yusheng, but they would never let go of opportunities they could use in the process of befriending her.
Rumors about King Nanling and Ruyu County Lady had been burgeoning around the city recently.
No one has ever seen with their own eyes how much importance the King of Nanling attached to Ruyi County Lady. But just a few days ago, rumors among the noble ladies spread that King Nanling personally sent Ruyi County Lady to a party in the Osmanthus Grove. They inferred the whole picture from this single instance.
How could a man so beautiful and unattainable ever care so much for a woman?
“It is rare that Miss Liu comes to our door today, so you must stay for a good meal. Otherwise, we will feel that we have not greeted you well,” Madam Qian smilingly said.
“Then my thanks,” Liu Yusheng nodded and smiled, while looking at the Elder and Qian Baihao. “Actually, I have something to discuss with the two elders during this visit. Can I borrow a place to talk?”
They were preparing the meal at this time, and there was still quite a long wait before the dishes were served. Liu Yusheng also didn’t want to wait any longer.
The Qian father and son both froze at her question and looked at each other, then Qian Baihao nodded, “All right. Please move to the study, Miss Liu.”
On ordinary days, the place was where he discussed important matters with his father. It was relatively closed, so no one would disturb them easily.
Liu Yusheng immediately followed behind the two men and went outside.
Seeing this, Qian Wanjin carried his fried spring rolls and quickly followed them. “Lucky Nannan, what do you want to talk about? So mysterious, I’ll come, too! We’ve been working together for so many years, so if you have something to discuss, you should come to me first.”
His father and grandfather were profiteers, and it would be tough to get a good deal out of them! If he didn’t go with Nannan, she would suffer!
Seriously, had she told him earlier, he would have dealt with it. Where was the need to deal with the two old foxes?
Lucky Nannan’s cleverness has all been wiped away by that guy, Feng Qingbai!
Liu Yusheng looked back and said, “Stay here with Xianrou. I’m not taking you with me this time. I’ll tell you more when we’re done talking.”
“…” Qian Wanjin glared at her. His eyes were almost shouting, I am helping you, ah, helping you! Why leave me behind?!
Can you be more clever!
Liu Yusheng had no choice but to wink at Shi Xianrou before leaving the hall.
Qian Wanjin was really angry, and he pointed at the door. “Why do you think she has become so stupid? She’s just trying to get screwed!”
The remaining people in the hall, “…” Do you still remember your last name?
How can you say that about your own father and grandfather? You’re siding with outsiders!
“Don’t you still know Lucky Nannan’s ability? Don’t underestimate her. She didn’t let you go with her, because she doesn’t want you to be caught in the middle. Behave and first eat something to pad your stomach. Lunch is still a good while, so don’t be hungry. Lucky Nannan might come out after you’ve finished eating.”
Reluctantly pacified, Qian Wanjin calmed down and snorted, “I want to go with her just because I know what she thinks. I used to talk about cooperation and business, but she has never been on the battlefield. How can she know how to fight?”
At the main seat, Mrs. Qian was close to smashing the teapot towards the head of her unfilial grandson.
If he were not the firstborn, she would have driven him out of the house!
She was so angry, her heart hurt!
