Shi Xianrou was pulled out to block the gun and got her selfishness poked. However, she wasn’t annoyed and instead smilingly replied, “When it comes to accompanying Xiao Jinzi, I think a day is still not long enough.”
Qian Wanjin, “…”
Feng Qingbai, “Same here.”
Liu Yusheng, “…”
The Qian family group whom the couples ignored were even more speechless.
They were obviously still geared for battle. The whole family tightened their scalps to receive the guest but instantly turned into backdrops.
The four youngsters chatted about the wind and the moon like nobody’s business.
Qian Baihao’s eyes circled back and forth on the four of them and finally smiled.
“Wanjin, since you are friends with His Royal Highness, he rarely visits, so you should entertain and accompany him and have a good chat. We, old guys, won’t bother you anymore.”
After saying this, he got up and said goodbye to Feng Qingbai, and left with a group of ladies.
Before leaving, Wang Zhi pushed Qian Kaiyin forward, “You’re all young people. Kaiyin, accompany your brother and entertain His Royal Highness. Do not neglect our honored guests.”
In the blink of an eye, half were gone from the crowded living room.
Qian Wanjin turned his head to look at Feng Qingbai. “You know how scary you are, right? No one wants to accompany you.”
“Do you want to keep me company?” Feng Qingbai retorted breezily.
“Don’t threaten me. I’m not afraid of this,” Qian Wanjin hummed, “Tell you what, if you marry Lucky Nannan in the future, you will also have to call me Elder Brother. Be polite to me!”
The corners of Liu Yusheng’s mouth twitched, already feeling powerless to rebuke.
Whenever Qian Wajin faced Feng Qingbai, he was like a rooster with fried hair, always looking for a fight.
He never won, but how come he still hasn’t learned his lesson?!
Shi Xianrou didn’t stop the man from his sappy tirade. She supported her jaw with one hand and looked at his energetic appearance, totally indulgent.
Qian Kaikin and the several people were totally unfamiliar with each other.
He knew his mother’s intentions when he pushed him out. She only hoped for him to take the opportunity to ride on the King’s cottail, at least to be a familiar face in front of the King.
But the situation in front of him didn’t allow any intervention at all, plus he didn’t want to butt in.
Qian Wanjin always spoke without restraints, so there would always be one day he’d annoy the King…
“How do you want me to be polite to you?” The clear-cut man blandly asked rhetorically.
“You can no longer always bully me. If someone bullies me, you have to help me, and when I teach you a lesson, you can not retaliate! You can’t fight back when I scold you! I haven’t thought of the rest yet. I talk about it when it comes to mind!”
Feng Qingbai raised his eyebrows and replied unhurriedly, “If you can let me marry Shengsheng immediately, I’ll agree to all your conditions. If not…”
“Marry Lucky Nannan immediately?” With his arms akimbo, Qian Wanjin guffawed several times, his face overcast, “Dream on!”
He wished! He was the maiden’s family. How could he let his own girl so easily abducted?
With him here, there was no way he would let Lucky Nannan suffer! Even her father would not give him a face, let alone Feng Qingbai!
Feng Qingbai nodded his head. “This statement is also my answer.”
“What do you mean?”
“It means, dream on.” Shi Xianrou hooked her lips and clarified his confusion.
“……”
Liu Yusheng had already covered her mouth and laughed.
Qian Kaiyin also laughed along with her, but his mood could only be described as gloomy.
The King, who other people didn’t even dare to look in the eye, could be comfortable with Qian Wanjin in front of him like a family!
Furthermore, Feng Qingbai’s tolerance for Qian Wanjin was really beyond his expectations!
On the other side, after Qian Baihao and Elder Qian left the living room, they dismissed the ladies and immediately went to the study, closing the door with their expressions grave.
“Father, what do you think?”
Elder Qian closed his eyes and sighed long, “There is simply no room for us to consider now.”
The sudden arrival of the King of Nanling at the Qian Mansion was a signal.
It was a signal that they boarded the King of Nanling’s boat.
Even if they originally planned to reject Liu Yusheng’s proposal and did not want to get involved in the court, they probably couldn’t now.
If they really weren’t in a relationship, would a noble man as the King of Nanling condescend to step into the Qian Mansion’s soil?
Scholars, peasants, artisans and merchants ranked at the bottom. Even if they possessed enormous wealth in their hands, they could not change the fact that their status was low.
A random fourth-rank official could stomp the Qian family to the ground.
This kind of status couldn’t attract the King’s attention. Apart from the involvement between the two children, what else could there be?
In short, in the eyes of others, the Qian family was on the side of the King of Nanling!
In this case, did they still have a choice?
There was a moment of silence in the study, and then suddenly there was laughter.
The father and son looked at each other and could hardly suppress their laughter.
“Great, there is finally a guarantee,” Elder Qian said.
“Indeed.” Qian Baihao nodded, “What we want is this guarantee.
Although Liu Yusheng implicitly promised, the King of Nanling made no statement, so it is difficult for us to be at peace.
If a mishap happens in the future and he withdraws and refuses to acknowledge, then our Qian family can only become an abandoned child.”
“Well, now it seems that King Nanling attaches much more importance to Liu Yusheng than we expected. We do business with Liu Yusheng, and if something really happens in the future, he should not stand by and watch.”
“Father, I’m afraid that even without Liu Yusheng, if something happens to our Qian family, he won’t just ignore it.”
They looked at each other once more, and joy that couldn’t be suppressed flowed from their hearts anew.
“I didn’t expect that bastard, Wanjin, to have this kind of acquaintance. With his obstinate temper, it’s a blessing for our Qian family to get the approval of King Nanling.”
Qian Baihao nodded. His son, that imp, wasn’t at all that accomplished, but was particularly proficient at other things. He was always looking for a fight all day long but still gained the King of Nanling’s approval. He really rendered people speechless.
He thought so, but he could hardly hide the pride in his eyes.
Elder Qian read over the plan that was still on the desk again.
“So, things can be settled. In a couple of days, have someone go to the royal residence to give our reply.
Afterward, the details needed to be discussed again – the cooperation project and the profit distribution.
Our family is a pure merchant family. We can’t suffer too much of a loss.”
“I will personally go and discuss these details. Never give it to that boy, Wanjin. Otherwise, he can hand all our family’s properties to that young girl of the Liu family.”
The more the two talked, the more excited they became, looking at the meticulous plan several times over and over.
They carefully scrutinized the projects listed above, thinking about the feasibility of each project and the expected profits.
Profit was their top priority. Businessmen valued profit. Without profit, what else could they do?
Feng Qingbai didn’t stay long at the Qian Mansion. He stepped on Qian Wanjin and led his little girl to the carriage back to the royal residence.
In the carriage, Liu Yusheng pinched the man’s cheeks, deforming his handsome face.
“Didn’t I tell you before I left the house that I was coming over to talk about something and would be back later at noon, so you could eat by yourself? You came over here to scare people!”
The man stretched both hands and dragged the woman into his arms, letting her play tricks on his face.
“If I didn’t come, the two old foxes of the Qian family can not rest assured. If you want to talk business, they will deliberately drag on for a long time.
The longer they delay, the more you will suffer when you discuss again.”
“They will agree.” Liu Yusheng had confidence.
Even if the two heads of the Qian family delayed things for a while, it would not have any effect on the final outcome. At most, they would want more share of the benefits from her hands.
