Chapter 299 Before the End—Xiao Jingchen Wants to Regret It

"Girl, you're amazing..."

Standing on the second floor of Lin Luoxi's newly built inn, watching the scene where some young masters and ladies from wealthy families almost came to blows because they couldn't get a room at Lin Luoxi's inn, Lin Wangshi couldn't help but click her tongue in amazement.

I never imagined that Heiyan Town, such a small village, would attract such a large number of visitors.

“Mother, it’s not because I’m good, it’s mainly because of the right timing, location, and people. People have faith, and there just happens to be a famous temple called Fuze Temple here.”

“There are naturally many people who want to ask Buddha questions, and I am only able to have such good fortune because of Fuzawa Temple.”

Lin Luoxi now greatly admires Master Shanhui's wisdom, even though she lost several hundred kilograms of gold.

But she believes that, based on the current flow of people going up the mountain to offer incense, she will be able to earn it back in no more than three years.

"Daughter, you are really amazing. Even your father is ashamed of himself."

Standing to the side, Lin Dayou looked at the crowded street, full of people who wanted to stay in inns and eat, and his heart was filled with excitement.

Unexpectedly, he lived an ordinary life for most of his life, thinking that this was how his life would end.

Who knew that his daughter was so capable, she actually had the ability to create a bustling street all by herself.

He had a vague feeling that this place would definitely become the most prosperous area in the future, and his daughter could easily make a fortune just by relying on this street.

"Princess Lin, I regret it now. Can I break the contract?" Xiao Jingchen was also present and naturally saw that Lin Luoxi's street had attracted such a large number of customers as soon as it opened. He was filled with regret.

Lin Luoxi and Lin Jize, two members of the Lin family, actually lied to him, saying that it would take many years to recoup the investment in farming. In his opinion, Lin Luoxi would make a fortune in no more than two years.

"Your Highness, that's not how it works. We did calculate the cost based on farming, and that's indeed how much we needed. But I'm clever, and with guidance from a wise person, I was able to shorten the payback period."

Just kidding, it's already a contract, who would go back on their word? She's not stupid.

Seeing Xiao Jingchen's regretful expression, Lin Luoxi couldn't help but feel secretly pleased. This was the consequence of the royal family not taking her seriously.

Upon hearing Lin Luoxi's words, Xiao Jingchen thought of Master Shanhui of Fuze Temple.

Perhaps it was because Lin Luoxi caught the eye of Master Shanhui that he instructed her to do this.

Recalling the expressions of Lin Luoxi and Lin Jize earlier, which didn't seem fake, Xiao Jingchen felt somewhat at ease, thinking that they must have met benefactors.

“Princess Lin, I have several other places like this, how about…” Xiao Jingchen said, seeing how well Lin Luoxi was managing this area.

"Your Highness, it's almost the Lantern Festival, I want to spend the New Year with my family first..."

She hasn't been back for almost a year. Back in Wutong Village, everything is being taken care of by Doctor Yang and Lin Dayou at home.

Lin Dayou and his wife came over in person when they saw that she hadn't been home for so long. Making money is important, but spending time with family is even more important.

Besides, Xiao Jingchen is as cunning as a fox. If there really is such a good place, he can just copy her method and develop it just as well.

This sudden display of attentiveness set off alarm bells in Lin Luoxi's mind, making her wary of Xiao Jingchen.

“Daughter, you’ve been busy here all year, it’s time to come home and visit…” Madam Lin Wang naturally heard Lin Luoxi and Xiao Jingchen’s conversation and quickly spoke up.

They were naturally at ease letting Lin Luoxi stay in Black Rock Town, which was so close by, but how could they feel at ease letting Lin Luoxi go to a faraway place if Xiao Jingchen were to take her away?

“Good! Things are all on track here, let Big Brother manage this area…” Lin Luoxi nodded.

“That won’t do. This is an asset you worked so hard for yourself. I don’t want it…” Lin Wenqian immediately understood Lin Luoxi’s meaning and waved his hand in refusal.

If he wants to have his own assets, he just needs to work hard for it himself.

"Brother, what are you thinking? I just asked you to manage it. We're all family, how can you not help me..." Lin Luoxi's original intention was to allocate this area to Lin Wenqian's assets.

Once he got the hang of it, he planned to transfer the property to Lin Wenqian, but seeing Lin Wenqian's resistance, Lin Luoxi temporarily avoided the topic.

“Princess Lin, this place was bestowed upon you by the royal family and cannot be transferred without authorization…” Xiao Jingchen, who was standing to the side, kindly reminded her after hearing Lin Luoxi’s words.

"Oh, I didn't realize that." Lin Luoxi had completely forgotten that this land was a royal gift to her.

"Big brother, did you hear that? Just relax and help me manage it." With Xiao Jingchen's words, Lin Luoxi was even more willing to let Lin Wenqian manage it.

"Second sister, this..." Lin Wenqian looked at Lin Luoxi with a troubled expression. Although he had studied management with Lin Luoxi for a year, he was still not confident that he could manage this bustling street well.

If she messes it up, wouldn't it be a waste of Lin Luoxi's hard work over the past year?

“What’s so difficult about that? I’ve taught you a lot about management, so just put it into practice.” Yan Zhou, who was standing to the side, couldn’t help but encourage Lin Wenqian when he saw that Lin Wenqian lacked confidence.

"Master, can I really do it?" Hearing Yan Zhou's words, Lin Wenqian gained a lot of confidence.

"Yes, you have to believe in yourself. My students don't allow you to say no..." Yan Zhou was very confident in his students.

"Daughter, didn't you say you wanted your eldest brother to participate in the imperial examination? Are you planning to stop him from participating?" Lin Wangshi asked, puzzled.

“Mother, the situation is unstable right now. Let’s let my eldest brother settle down for a year or two first!” After saying that, she kept her eyes fixed on Xiao Jingchen.

With the ruler above becoming increasingly incompetent and tyrannical, how can the Ninth Prince, as a member of the royal family, still remain so secure here?

Xie Hanchuan noticed that Lin Luoxi kept glancing at Xiao Jingchen, and he was already feeling incredibly jealous.

He squeezed in front of Lin Luoxi and blocked her view with his body.

With the matter in Heiyan Town successfully resolved, Lin Luoxi planned to have lunch there before taking her entire family back to Wutong Village.

"Luo Xi, Luo Xi..." Before the dishes were even served, everyone was already gathered around the window, watching intently, when a familiar female voice came from the street.

Lin Luoxi looked towards the street, and there was Fang Zhixia, the first friend she made after regaining consciousness.

"Zhixia, Zhixia..." Lin Luoxi responded enthusiastically from the second floor to Fang Zhixia's call.

Since she had met her friend here, Lin Luoxi asked the waiter to go down and invite Fang Zhixia up.

"Luo Xi, hello everyone..." Seeing so many people right away actually made Fang Zhixia, who had seen a lot of things, pause for a moment.
