Chapter 135 Merchant Brother

Ling Qingyan understood. She was interested in Cui Huailang, and was not very satisfied with her?

This rich young lady has a very bad temper.

Ling Qingyan let out a sigh. She came to use the Shang Mansion to expand her Furong Manor's customer base, and she definitely couldn't give up just because of this little trouble.

"Miss Shang San, you are so beautiful." Ling Qingyan stared at her with a pair of wet eyes.

Her eyes are bright and clear. It is said that eyes are the windows to the soul, and Ling Qingyan has a pair of eyes that are most likely to make people feel soft-hearted.

Innocent, pure, and full of sincerity.

Shang Rulan had heard many compliments and flattery, but the praise from the person in front of her was pure, sincere, and touched her heart. It was the most sincere she had ever received.

Ling Qingyan's slightly bright eyes saw the dazed look on Third Miss Shang's face.

Little guy, she has tried to conquer several abnormal men at the same time, but she still can't handle a little girl like you.

Shang Rulan clenched her handkerchief, her cheeks flushed slightly, not knowing whether she was embarrassed by the compliment or angry, she gritted her teeth and said:

"How can you be like this! It's useless to praise me. Don't you understand what people say?"

"I told you I hate you, and I won't buy anything from your Furong Manor. Can you please have some backbone? If you know what's good for you, get out of here!"

When it comes to making money, sometimes you can put your integrity aside.

It's not easy for everyone.

Ling Qingyan pulled out a box of rouge from her bosom. Her face still showed no sign of anger, but rather a hint of apology. She smiled and said, "Miss Shang San, I don't know how I offended you to make you dislike me so much."

"It's just that I see that Miss Shang San and I get along well. Although Miss Shang San hates me, I really want to be friends with her. If I accidentally do something that makes you dislike me, this is my apology to you."

"It doesn't matter whether Miss Shang San comes to patronize my Furong Manor or not. In business, there's no such thing as forcing anything. I just don't want to be on bad terms with Miss Shang San."

"As for Miss Shang asking me to leave, I came in with the Sixth Young Master's invitation after all. No matter how much Miss Shang dislikes me, I am still a guest."

"I think Miss Shang, there's no need to damage your family's reputation because of a small person like me, right?" Ling Qingyan smiled and curved her eyebrows. "I think Miss Shang looks better when she smiles than when she's angry."

"Then I won't disturb Miss Shang's interest." Ling Qingyan bowed and was about to leave.

Shang Rulan grabbed her, her eyebrows knitted together, and she looked even angrier.

"You--" Shang Rulan was about to continue her vicious words when she heard a familiar voice coming from her.

"younger sister."

Shang Yue seemed to notice the dispute here and walked towards the two of them.

Shang Rulan immediately let go of Ling Qingyan's arm, clenched her fist, and said respectfully, "Brother."

Ling Qingyan looked in his direction. The man was tall and looked like a martial artist. He had a handsome appearance, and his broken eyebrow made his expression even more majestic.

"My third sister is arrogant and has offended you, young lady. Please don't blame me."

Shang Yue seemed to glance at Shang Rulan, and the young lady who had been chattering just now immediately fell silent, lowered her head and straightened her body.

Ling Qingyan was puzzled. She thought Shang Rulan was the kind of young lady who was spoiled by her family and had an overly spoiled temper. She didn't expect that when she saw her eldest brother, she was like a mouse seeing a cat.

Since there is someone you are afraid of, you shouldn't be so rude to her.

Do you really just dislike her?

Ling Qingyan was puzzled when she heard the man in front of her take the initiative to talk to her: "I've never seen Boss Gu before. Where is Boss Gu from?"

"Yingzhou, something happened at home, so I came to Yizhou to settle down." Ling Qingyan replied politely.

Since I have decided to hide my identity, I definitely cannot say that I am from Beijing.

"Something happened at home? No wonder Miss Gu, a woman, has to go out into the world to do business. She must have been forced into a desperate situation by life. It's really not easy." Shang Yue said.

Ling Qingyan smiled with a forced smile: "Actually, everything is fine."

"What about Miss Gu and Mr. Cui?"

"Friend." Ling Qingyan said concisely.

She didn't intend to explain anything more to them. There was a barrier in their own concepts. They didn't know that she and Cui Huailang were two isolated ships from the same era, so naturally they didn't understand the joy of these two isolated ships coming together.

Shang Yue nodded and said with a smile, "Meeting is fate. I will patronize Mr. Gu's business someday."

"Okay, Mrs. Shang is always welcome to Furong Manor." Ling Qingyan said with a smile. She welcomed every customer equally.

"I don't have a wife." Shang Yue said.

Ling Qingyan looked puzzled.

Without a wife, how can I use it myself?

"I have several concubines and I plan to provide for them."

"Oh ok, you're welcome anytime."

Shang Rulan, who was standing nearby, saw her elder brother chatting with Ling Qingyan. Her brows furrowed, and her breathing quickened. She wanted to leave, but someone blocked her way...

In addition to Shang Rulan, Ling Qingyan successfully made friends with many young ladies. Some of them gave face to Cui Huailang, some of them were really easy to chat with, and many people looked down on her, thinking that it was not appropriate for a young girl like her to do business.

But even though most people didn't like her as a person, they didn't make things too awkward to embarrass her.

The only one who deliberately didn't give her a way out and asked her to leave was Shang Rulan.

The people of Yizhou are open-minded and the banquet was very lively. Today's flower-viewing banquet brought together two families, and many people joked and teased the two couples.

Chen Chuo sat next to Ling Qingyan, while Cui Huailang was trapped opposite him by his good brothers.

"Tsk tsk, Cui Er, can you take your eyes off Boss Gu? I told you that you like Boss Gu, but you still refuse to admit it!"

"No, don't accuse me, I didn't!" Cui Huailang said no while his eyes were on Ling Qingyan, which was not very convincing.

Of course, he knew what was in his heart very well, but he couldn't tell his friends about it.

If he admitted it, who knows what bad ideas these people would come up with, and they would definitely make trouble for him.

Although Sister Qingxi and he are from the same generation, she is not interested in him yet. He is now a very important friend to her, and this gradual feeling is very good.

He didn't want these people to make things worse and make things difficult for Sister Qingxi, so that they wouldn't even be able to be friends.

"Okay, okay, you didn't, but look, your friend showed up and was coveted by many people." Someone joked.

Cui Huailang looked over and saw three or two young men approaching Sister Qingxi. They were talking and laughing about something, and it seemed like they were trying to strike up a conversation and invite her to drink.

However, all the wine that was handed to him was snatched away by Chen Chuo. He stood in front of Sister Qingxi and smiled, taking one glass after another.

Damn it! If it weren’t for the problem with his legs, he would have been the one to block the drinking.

That kid got away with it.

After all, Chen Chuo has been in the martial arts world for many years, and he has long been able to tolerate alcohol. Normally, there should be no problem for him to block the wine for His Highness.

But after drinking several cups today, his head was dizzy and his eyelids were getting heavier. He grabbed Ling Qingyan's sleeve and fell on the table.

“This Mr. Shen can’t drink much either.” Someone laughed.

"This glass of wine is to wish Mr. Gu a prosperous business!" Someone handed her another glass of wine.

Before Ling Qingyan could speak, a servant came up to her:

"Miss Gu, our Third Miss wants you to go out for a while. She has something to tell you."
