Qin Qing looked at him with a puzzled expression, somewhat confused, but then saw Qian Baiwan's smug smile and a hint of awkward doting...
She felt a little strange, and then realized the warmth on her wrist, and embarrassedly withdrew her hand!
Seeing her embarrassed expression and evasive look, Qianbaiwan didn't say anything, but just smiled gently, and his already handsome face instantly shone with a very eye-catching brilliance.
Even the many men in the audience couldn't help but glance at it, their hearts skipping a beat...
"Since you like it, then I won't take what belongs to you!"
Qian Baiwan looked helpless and reached out to pull Qin Qing back to the private room. Qin Qing naturally didn't want to give up. She nervously glanced at Zhang He on the stage, who had her eyes lowered. She knew that Zhang He hadn't recognized her voice at all...
Thinking of this, she grabbed Qian Baiwan's hand with one hand, and was about to speak when she was stunned by his confident gaze, and finally suppressed her eagerness.
Inside the opposite compartment, a middle-aged man dressed in a crimson robe sat in a rocking chair, looking refreshed. He casually mentioned an amount that an ordinary person could not earn in several lifetimes, his gaze both sarcastic and gloating!
After the final bid, there was still no movement outside. He frowned slightly and said in a low voice.
"What happened?"
Then the madam rushed in, her face pale and flushed, panting anxiously.
"Master, it's terrible! Second Master has dropped the bid, and that little slut has been sold to you for eight thousand taels of silver..."
Upon hearing this, the middle-aged man's expression immediately changed. He stood up incredulously and looked at the madam with a sinister look.
"Impossible! He's been looking for this person for days, how could he give up so easily!"
The madam looked distressed, feeling heartbroken upon hearing this! Five thousand taels of silver had just gone down the drain—five thousand taels!
"The Second Master said that since Your Excellency likes it, he won't take it away from you..."
As she spoke, she couldn't help but grumble at her boss. Wouldn't it have been better to stop in time? Trading a useless little bitch for five thousand taels of silver was a sure-fire way to make a profit! But her boss had abruptly cut it off! How could she not be angry?
No wonder so many people think that the eldest brother is not as good as the second brother. In her opinion, the rumors may not be unbelievable!
Perhaps the brothel madam's resentment was too clear and obvious, because when the old man noticed it, his face turned even uglier!
"Smack!"
"You wretch! What kind of look is that? Don't forget I'm the biggest boss of Flower Pavilion; you still need me to keep you afloat!"
The slap instantly snapped the madam out of her daze, scaring her so much that she trembled uncontrollably. Her face turned deathly pale, her legs shook, and she immediately knelt on the ground, utterly terrified.
"Meiniang knows she was wrong, please forgive me, sir!"
She felt truly wronged and ashamed! She had been with the man in front of her for over ten years, doing countless heinous things and sleeping with him for years without any status or recognition. Now, just because of a single glance from her, he was so heartless!
The middle-aged man was consumed by rage and didn't notice the woman on the ground whose eyes were filled with resentment towards him!
"Get out!"
After uttering a curse, the boss quickly retreated, his heart filled with resentment…
At this moment, Qian Baiwan led Qin Qing to the private room and saw clearly the madam's face: her left cheek was swollen and red, while her right cheek was deathly pale.
"Oh dear, what happened to Meiniang? Look at her face, it's swollen like a monkey's bottom! What, didn't you serve my elder brother well?"
The madam's eyes flashed with anger, but she was mindful of something and forced herself to suppress her rage, managing only a stiff smile.
"Oh, it was just an accidental fall! Second Master, please..."
Qianbai didn't dwell on the issue, and only glanced at her before speaking.
"I remember there's a rule at Flower Pavilion: money on delivery. Since this guest in the private room has found a good match, shouldn't he pay now? And shouldn't that girl be sent over now? Why hasn't she made a move yet? Could it be... that she's deliberately messing with me?"
Upon hearing this, the madam's already pale face turned even paler, and her expression became extremely unpleasant.
"This...I...I..."
The madam stammered for a long time, unable to utter a coherent sentence. Finally, the door to the private room opened, and a slightly overweight man walked straight out. His original dashing and debonair good looks were completely stifled by his overall obesity, and his gloomy aura made him even more unpleasant.
"My second brother is quite idle, spending lavishly on a woman. What will Father think if he finds out?"
The middle-aged man looked at Qian Baiwan with a mocking gaze, full of disdain, yet also carrying a hint of indescribable jealousy!
Millions of people looked at him with feigned surprise and exclaimed in astonishment.
"Big brother? What are you doing here? Oh, I forgot, this is your territory, but I heard you've been unwell lately and have been staying home, which is why you turned down Father's request to perform the ancestral rites. How come you're here visiting a brothel?"
April is the time of Qingming Festival, when the custom of worshipping ancestors has already begun. However, Qianjia is the richest family, and the ancestral temple is built to be tall and majestic. Qianjin is too fat and has no physical strength. He also cannot be lazy in public, so he found a way to cancel the ancestral worship.
Qian Baiwan had only recently returned and his injuries had not yet fully healed, so his father, Qian Yiyi, made sure he rested at home!
Hearing his younger brother, Qianbaiwan, who had always been at odds with him, use this to blackmail him, Qianwanjin's face darkened, and he forced himself to speak.
"I just came out for a walk because I felt a little better."
Qian Bai nodded, a look of understanding appearing on his handsome face, and then continued.
"Is that so... then so be it! But you're really generous, brother. Eight thousand taels just like that. My little savings can't even compare to your casual wave of the hand. I wonder if Father will take pity on me and give me some of his own money."
The mere phrase "with a casual wave of the hand" sent Qian Jin into a panic, his face contorted with fear...
"What...what are you saying? I...I just didn't want you to spend money recklessly; Father definitely won't agree..."
Qianbaiwan immediately showed an expression of sudden realization, looked at Qianwanjin with surprise and excitement, and said excitedly.
"I see, I understand now, big brother, you're so good to me! I knew it! You don't know that woman, and you don't like that style, so why would you spend so much money to buy such an ordinary woman? So... so it was all for me! Thank you so much, big brother! I'll definitely learn more from you in the future!"
Qianwan Jin was stunned for a moment, and the extra flesh on his face twitched slightly.
"Second brother, you've misunderstood... I..."
Qianbai followed up with his words, looking melancholy.
"I thought you hated me, and that the thing you did to me was related to you. I never expected you to care about me so much. I was overthinking it. Thank you, brother! I will never doubt you again!"
