Lu Jiamin felt that it was because this guy suddenly appeared and bumped into her that she collided with him. It was clearly his fault, but he refused to admit it. However, she could never learn Lu Yinghuai's bargaining skills, and seeing Yun Ling present, she could only shove Yun Ling aside.
"Lingniang, do you think he bumped into us first?"
Yunling was also suddenly pulled away and didn't really see how it happened, but before she could think about it, Xie Sinan spoke again:
“Yunling, you can’t just listen to her side of the story. You’ve been standing around in Bianjing for so long, and I haven’t even said anything to you yet.”
Yunling finally understood what it was like to offend neither side. Unwilling to dwell on the matter any longer, she quickly changed the subject.
"Xie Sinan, how did you know I went to Bianjing?"
"I found out from Manager Zhou when I went to Shengfu Restaurant to collect the internet fee. Hey, speaking of which, you haven't paid your internet fee yet."
Yunling quickly rummaged through the bag, feeling somewhat embarrassed.
"How much was it again? I forgot."
"Alright, just treat me to a meal."
"I don't have the time. Is it 100 coins a month? I've been dragging this out for a year, so that's 200 coins a string..."
But before Yunling could take out the copper coins, Xie Sinan and Lu Jiamin each lifted one side of her and carried her out the door. She had no choice but to comply with their wishes.
When Lu Jiamin heard that there was food, she temporarily put aside her grudges with Xie Sinan and was able to cooperate with him smoothly.
Instead of going to a restaurant, the three of them went to a nearby teahouse, ordered several new snacks and a few pots of chilled drinks, and then leisurely listened to music.
Yunling wasn't very good at appreciating traditional performing arts, and seeing that Xie Sinan was also distracted, she asked:
"Which city is Nan-ge'er planning to open his next website in?"
Shessnan wiped the crumbs from the corner of his mouth and said:
"That depends on our boss, Yun Da. Now that your product is selling well, it's time to rearrange those models to boost business. Let's start in Yuncheng, it's not far from there, and then expand outwards step by step."
Yunling poured him a cup of fragrant drink and smiled:
"You really think highly of me."
Shessnan tapped his fingers on the table and replied:
“My online business depends entirely on you. You go to a place and make it popular, and I'll take the opportunity to set up my online business there. Isn't that just following the trail? Besides, you've already invested in that music hall. Given our relationship, how could you not take care of me?”
Lu Jiamin couldn't understand what they were discussing, but she didn't make a fuss. She just focused on eating the hibiscus pastry in front of her and occasionally glanced at Yunling.
For the first time ever, Xie Sinan found this guy rather cute. Seeing that Yun Ling didn't reply, he said to Lu Jiamin:
"This stuff isn't exactly delicious. Those mochi, cream puffs, mille-feuille cakes, and lava cakes are the real treats."
Lu Jiamin tilted her head, puzzled:
"I've never heard of any of this before, Lingniang. Do you know anything about it?"
Yunling had heard others mention it before, but she didn't really know the specifics, so she quickly shook her head.
"Look, even Lingniang doesn't know, you made this up, didn't you?"
"If you don't believe me, fine. If it weren't for the fact that we don't have enough ingredients here, I would definitely make it for you to try."
Lu Jiamin was puzzled and immediately retorted:
"If you say you can't get the ingredients, how come you've eaten them? In your dream? You're lying."
"I've eaten it, I..."
"Can you do it?"
"..."
As the two were arguing, a voice called out from outside.
"Lingniang~"
Yunling looked up and looked outside, but before she could even see who it was, Lu Jiamin excitedly exclaimed:
"Brother, what brings you here?"
"It was Xiao Liulang who saw you from afar, so he came to check, and sure enough."
Song Xiaoliulang immediately stared at Yun Ling, his face beaming with celebration.
"Young lady, it's been a long time. You've become even more beautiful. What brings you here today?"
"I was just passing by to pick up the land deed, but this brat, imitating her brother's shamelessness, dragged me out of the teahouse, so I came out too."
Everyone burst into laughter. Lu Yinghuai was about to sit down next to Yun Ling when he noticed a man sitting beside her. He suppressed the pangs of sadness in his heart and asked,
Who is this?
"Xie Sinan is the owner of the publicity network at the Marriage Corner, and Lu Yinghuai is the young master of the Lu Family Business."
Yunling's dignified introduction did not quell the curiosity in the two men's hearts. Xie Sinan ignored Lu Yinghuai and instead looked at Lu Jiamin, smiling:
"Of course I will make it. Once it's done, I'll bring it to the Lu Family Trading Company for you to try."
"Okay, it's a deal."
Yunling sensed something was wrong, and she immediately grabbed Xie Sinan's sleeve and whispered in his ear:
"She is very innocent and kind. Don't try anything with her, or not only will Lu Yinghuai not let you off the hook, but I won't either."
After Yunling finished speaking, she loosened her grip on her clothes, but Xie Sinan immediately brought his head close to Yunling's neck again. Yunling instinctively tried to pull away, but her shoulder was grabbed, and she heard him whisper in her ear:
"He's the one you like, Yunling. Your taste is really terrible."
Xie Sinan noticed that Lu Yinghuai had been staring intently at Yun Ling ever since he entered the room, and that he had tried to sit next to Yun Ling earlier. Xie Sinan figured that since the two were in business together and had frequent interactions, it was no surprise that they had developed feelings for each other over time.
However, this person's appearance... compared to him, there is simply no comparison, and his body proportions are completely unacceptable. This person looks strange, strange in every way.
But since this was the person Yunling loved, he couldn't very well separate the couple. However, Yunling was the only person he knew in the world, so he had to keep pursuing her no matter what. He even considered joining her if he couldn't win. If he couldn't be her husband, he could be her brother-in-law. That wouldn't be bad either.
Yunling quickly dodged, about to scold Xie Sinan, when she heard Lu Yinghuai ask:
"What are you talking about?"
"Let's talk about things from our hometown."
"Hometown? I wonder where Xie Lang's hometown is?"
"In Pingcheng."
“We are all from Pingcheng. If you have any hometown matters to discuss, feel free to tell us.”
"I don't want to talk about it."
Xie Sinan's cold refusal instantly made the atmosphere awkward. Lu Yinghuai's gentle face was about to break down. Yun Ling looked at Song Xiaoliulang and hurriedly said:
"I just came from the paper mill."
"You came from the paper mill? Is there anyone to entertain you? If I had known you were coming, I wouldn't have taken a break from my busy schedule to meet Ying Huai and catch up with you."
"Yes, both Song Jiasanlang and Master Song are here. I only asked Song Jiasanlang to publish the selling price of the new product 'Zhaoyeqing' for me, and then he left."
Lu Jiamin quickly asked:
"Lingniang, are those products from the fashion show all finished?"
"Yes, but I've decided to quote 160 coins per set. I just don't know if that price is acceptable?"
