Chapter 528: Old Master Wang Visits Zhu Mingqing
Qiu'er was surprised: "How could it be? If it was related to the Luo family, would the Liang family remain indifferent?"
Wang Tan curled his lips and decided not to mention the messy affairs of the Liang family.
Now she is the only one who cares about Brother Huanyu.
If she hadn't come to rescue him, who would still remember that Brother Huan Yu was still missing?
"Miss, actually, think about it the other way around. If this is really related to the Luo family, we should make friends with Young Master Luo Huai." Qiu'er tentatively suggested, "If you become friends with Young Master Luo Huai, then finding Young Master Liang's whereabouts will be easy!"
Wang Tan's eyes gradually lit up, but soon disappeared.
"But I've already rejected the marriage proposal. Why didn't you tell me earlier? If I had known this would happen, I would have waited for news about Brother Huanyu before gathering with the Luo family!"
Qiu'er was speechless. The Luo family was no longer someone who could be easily offended, but the young lady was still so casual.
"I've made up my mind!" Wang Tan suddenly said, "Qiu'er, let's go out tomorrow and block them!"
…
The next day.
Luo Huai returned from the army and was stopped as soon as he entered the city.
Seeing the carriage again, he frowned, but thinking of the lady's reckless character, he still walked over.
"Didn't Miss Wang say she never wanted to see me again? Why did you come here today?"
The car curtain was lifted, revealing a bright smiling face.
"Mr. Luo, when did I say such words? Why don't I remember it?" Wang Tan said with a smile.
Luo Huai frowned, wondering what this guy was planning.
"Mr. Luo, I'm new to Jizhou and want to buy some local specialties, but I don't know the place. Can you accompany me around?"
Wang Tan's eyes were filled with earnestness.
Luo Huai's first reaction was to refuse, but when he thought of the proposal made by Old Master Wang and his grandfather last night, his brows darkened and he wanted to know more about the Wang family.
"Okay," he replied.
Wang Tan immediately clapped his hands: "That's great!"
When Luo Huai accompanied Wang Tan shopping, they chatted about many things calmly, such as the current situation of the Wang family. Old Master Wang had two sons and one daughter, and he favored his eldest son, Wang Tan's father.
Her widowed aunt had been living a very carefree life since she returned home after her husband's death. She went out to play every day and spent a lot of money. There was no young man in the whole city of Suzhou who didn't know her aunt.
Moreover, although the girl said she came to buy Jizhou specialties, she kept looking at him from time to time, so he knew that she must have other purposes.
He wanted to see how long he could endure.
When it was almost dark, Luo Huai said goodbye and left. Just as he took two steps, a voice called out from behind him: "Mr. Luo, please wait a moment."
Wang Tan walked lightly, bowed slightly, and had a gentle demeanor.
But Luo Huai knew how arrogant and domineering this young lady was.
He turned around and smiled faintly: "Miss Wang, is there anything else?"
Wang Tan raised his eyes, his gaze tentative: "I heard that Master Luo and Master Liang Huanyu don't have a good relationship, is that right?"
Luo Huai narrowed his eyes slightly, and suddenly understood.
He didn't bother to hide anything: "Miss Wang and Master Liang are engaged, aren't they? I'm sure you're well aware of what happened between us. Besides, could it be that Miss Wang has also forgotten what happened in the dilapidated temple on the way to exile?"
Wang Tan looked embarrassed, "I... just..."
Luo Huai said directly: "Miss Wang, please be careful on the road. It's getting late. You should return home as soon as possible."
After saying that, he turned around and left, with no intention of sending the other person back.
Wang Tan gritted his teeth and stamped his feet.
You are so bad, Luo Huai. I have been trying to please you with nice words for the whole afternoon. You are so rude!
Qiu'er stepped forward hesitantly: "Miss, shall we come again tomorrow?"
Wang Tan said angrily: "Come, I must know the whereabouts of Brother Huan Yu from Luo Huai!"
Don’t ask her how she is sure, this is a woman’s sixth sense!
Luo Huai didn't take today's incident to heart, but for three consecutive days, he was blocked by this woman at the city gate every time he got off work and went home, and then he understood.
On the fourth day, I simply didn’t go home.
Wang Tan waited until dark but still nothing happened and he was furious.
When she returned home, she cursed him, "Don't let me catch you, or you'll be in trouble."
"Miss, the old master wants you to come over." The housekeeper was relieved to see the young lady finally come back.
Wang Tan did not dare to delay and immediately went to his grandfather's yard.
"grandfather?"
She knocked on the door.
"Enter!"
Old Master Wang looked at his granddaughter who had been out frequently in the past few days and asked directly, "I heard that you and Luo Huai have been meeting frequently in the past two days. Have you changed your mind again?"
Wang Tan: …
What you fear will come true.
How could she answer this?
"I……"
Old Master Wang frowned: "What's the point of being so hesitant? Yes, yes, no, no!"
Wang Tan knew his grandfather had little patience, so he closed his eyes and said with determination, "Yes!"
Anyway, as long as she can find Brother Huanyu, she is willing to pay any price.
Old Master Wang was not as happy as he had imagined. He scolded: "I told you that your marriage with the Luo family is over. Don't bother Luo Huai anymore!"
Wang Tan was puzzled: "Why? Grandfather brought me to Jizhou just to form an alliance with the Luo family, and now I have agreed..."
“It’s too late!”
Old Master Wang didn't want to explain too much to her. "In two days, I will send you back to Suzhou. Don't go out for the next few days!"
Wang Tan's eyes turned red instantly and he felt very aggrieved.
"Why? It was my grandfather who asked me to come here. Now he doesn't need his granddaughter anymore and wants to send me away. I won't agree!"
After saying that, he turned and ran away crying.
Old Master Wang looked unhappy and ordered the housekeeper to keep an eye on the young lady tomorrow and not let her go out again.
The next day.
Zhu Mingqing got up early and prepared to inspect the industries in Jizhou.
But not long after he went out, he was stopped at Huaxiang Building.
"Madam, my old master wants to see you. He's waiting for you in the Tianzi room."
Zhu Mingqing's eyes moved slightly. If he remembered correctly, the shopkeeper had just said that the Wang family had occupied the number one room.
Room number 1.
Old Master Wang heard footsteps stop at the door, followed by a woman's soft inquiring voice.
He stood up, straightened his clothes, and said, "Come in!"
Zhu Mingqing walked in slowly and looked at the old man in front of him with a kind smile, feeling even more confused.
Could it be that Luo Huai and Luo Tingshan’s approach didn’t work, so they wanted to start with themselves?
"Madam, I am the head of the Wang family and a close friend of Luo Tingshan regardless of age difference. This is our first meeting, so I'm sorry for any impoliteness. I hope you will accept it." Old Master Wang smiled and extended his hand, inviting people to sit down.
The door of the room was closed. Zhu Mingqing looked around the room but found nothing unusual.
She smiled faintly and said, "So it's Old Master Wang. I've heard of your great name for a long time, and seeing you today, you're truly extraordinary."
People all like to hear good words, and Old Master Wang is no exception, but he has not forgotten the important business of today.
They exchanged pleasantries first, but Zhu Mingqing did not speak on her own initiative. Seeing how patient she was, Old Master Wang had a new opinion in his mind.
In the end, it was Old Master Wang who spoke first: "Since Madam has heard of the Wang family, she must also know the purpose of my coming to Guancheng."
Zhu Mingqing nodded slightly: "If it is related to Luo Huai, then I'm sorry..."
"No!" Old Master Wang raised his hand and said with a smile, "Why don't you listen to my suggestion, Madam?"
Zhu Mingqing's eyebrows twitched slightly: "I'd like to hear the details."
"The Luo family is now poised to fall, but still lacks strong support. As long as my Wang family is the first to publicly express support, I believe the Luo family will rise to prominence in the future. However, I also have a request."
"Luo Huai can't do that!" Zhu Mingqing refused without even thinking about it.
Old Master Wang smiled and shook his head: "What about Luo Tingshan? Does Madam agree?"
