Chapter 133: Chapter 133 – Being the Master’s Woman (1)_1 Chapter 133: Chapter 133 – Being the Master’s Woman (1)_1 Seeing Lin Yuan’s refusal, Xia Zheng thought she was just not satisfied with the offer he had made.
Just as he was about to raise the stakes, he saw Lin Yuan turn to Lao Fan and say, “Don’t forget about the estate, if possible, I plan on setting up the tofu workshop before the New Year.”
As Lao Fan leisurely stroked his beard, he squinted and replied, “I’m on it.
Currently, I’ve got my eye on three places, but I’m still negotiating.
I’ll let you have a look once I settle on one.”
“Hmm, okay.”
No sooner had Lin Yuan nodded in agreent than Xia Zheng hastily grabbed hold of Lao Fan’s arm and exclaid loudly, “Is there so agreent between you two that I don’t know about?
Quick, tell !”
“You little rascal!
This is my deal, and it’s none of your business!” Lao Fan’s eyes rolled as he gave Xia Zheng a big, dismissive eye roll.
“None of my business?
You old fart, you must be getting too comfortable with your life, huh?
Just rember, although Fuman Building is yours in na, it’s actually mine, Xia Zheng’s!
What if you sell Fuman Building while I’m away?
No way, you have to show the agreent between you two!
If you don’t, I’m going to…”
“And do what?
Spread the news around the Capital City that I have a cat in Zhuma Town, right?” Lao Fan shook off Xia Zheng’s hand, looking utterly unconcerned as he continued to enjoy the after-dinner bliss, his speech as leisurely as if he were singing a ditty, “You better not forget why you put Fuman Building under my na in the first place.
What if your father, who has painstakingly raised you to be a warrior, finds out his carefully nurtured seed has no interest in valor, but instead loves to do business and earn silver?
Wouldn’t he ride day and night to Zhuma Town to chop you up with a big saber?”
For a mont, Xia Zheng was dumbfounded.
Previously, ntioning the spread of his hideout would absolutely make the old man cave, so why was it now that he was the one being threatened?
But the threat was indeed effective.
Xia Zheng imdiately lost his arrogance, and his handso face darkened as he muttered, “Even the nine sons of the dragon are different from each other.
It would be enough for him to have my elder brother.
Why should I have to follow and fight?
It’s boring!
Earning money is so much more interesting!
Especially when you see silver sparkling so brightly, and the sound of counting silver notes—now that’s a good life!”
Watching his eyes shine at the ntion of silver, Lin Yuan almost dropped her jaw.
She had seen those who loved money before, but never soone so obsessed with it!
It seed Xia Zheng ca from a decent, even very good family, and yet he had developed such a greedy nature.
Could it be his father only gave him sabers and spears as a child, never any silver?
However, these were his personal affairs, and as she had no penchant for gossip, she didn’t inquire further.
There was still a lot to do at Lin Yuan’s house that afternoon, so after finishing the al, she hurried the two deities off back to town.
Xia Zheng was extrely curious about the tofu-making thod and stubbornly refused to leave, but seeing the girl brandishing chili peppers in one hand and a cleaver in the other, he slipped away like greased lightning and hopped onto the coach.
Not until they had left Lin family hostead did the proud, spice-fearing Young Master co up with a successful plan to capture Lin Yuan’s heart.
She was so fond of money; why wouldn’t she agree to be the head chef at Fuman Building?
Her cooking was so delicious that securing her services would an defeating all rivals!
All the way to the city’s edge, Xia Zheng suddenly slapped his thigh in excitent and yelled, nearly giving Lao Fan, who was dozing, a heart attack.
“If she won’t be my chef, then she’ll be my woman!”
Lao Fan, massaging his panicking heart, shook his head and curled his lip, “With your attitude, thinking of chasing a wife?
The road ahead is long and difficult!”
