It seemed that as long as Mu Tiao didn't agree, he would keep asking. At first, everyone was just watching for fun, but later they found that not only did he keep repeating the same question, but even the expression on his face and the curvature of his hand didn't change. He was like a precise robot, which made people feel physically uncomfortable.
Lan Shuang said helplessly, "This is probably part of the original plot. If you don't agree, he'll keep asking until the end of time."
Mu Tiao had no choice but to agree, but he kept a distance from the man the whole time and ignored whatever he said. However, the man was also very excited and kept talking.
People were invited by these NPCs one after another, and soon only Lan Shuang and Jiang Lusheng were left. Lan Shuang picked up a glass of champagne and took a sip. It tasted good. She handed a glass to Jiang Lusheng and asked, "Why didn't anyone invite us two?"
Jiang Lusheng took it and clinked it with her, then raised his chin towards Liu Quan and said, "There's a quarrel."
Lan Shuang looked over and saw Liu Quan and his wife arguing with each other in a heated argument.
"I told you, Rose Manor has always valued money. These girls are the most exquisite works of art. If you can't afford the price, don't blame them for falling into the hands of others."
The lady spoke in a cold tone, but then softened a little and said, "Thank you very much for your guidance to them during this period, but you should also know that I never agreed to give the third child to you from the beginning."
Liu Quan's eyes were filled with anger. "But you didn't refuse! Your attitude has been ambiguous from the beginning. You kept me hanging while looking for another buyer. Now that you've found someone who offers more than me, you're selling her, right?"
The people around them were also attracted by their quarrel and pointed at them. The lady blushed and said harshly, "Anyway, this matter ends here. If you continue to pester me, don't blame us for being rude."
After saying this, she gathered her shawl and walked away as if nothing had happened.
Liu Quan was so angry that he was shaking on the spot. Lan Shuang raised an eyebrow, walked behind him and patted his shoulder heavily, "Liu Quan, come back to your senses!"
"Ah!" Liu Quan was startled and suddenly woke up. He blinked and his eyes became much clearer.
He turned to look at Lan Shuang and asked blankly, "What's wrong with me? Why am I here?"
Jiang Lusheng came over, holding a champagne glass in his hand, "You must have gotten into the role in the plot just now, so you started arguing with your wife."
Liu Quan: “?”
"I had a quarrel with her?" Liu Quan looked dreamy.
"Do you remember what you said just now?" Lan Shuang stared into his eyes.
Liu Quan thought about it blankly. He thought he would not be able to remember it, but he did not expect that he could actually remember it.
So he repeated the conversation he had just had with his wife.
Lan Shuang and Jiang Lusheng exchanged a glance. "So the Third Miss didn't give it to you in the end, but was sold to someone else by the Madam?"
Liu Quan pushed his glasses and said, "I think so."
Lan Shuang was silent.
That would involve other people, which is troublesome. This story is really troublesome.
"Third Miss——"
Someone suddenly called out, and the three of them looked over and saw a middle-aged man in a suit and tie, who looked quite handsome, walking over. He smiled at Jiang Lusheng and said, "Excuse me, can I invite you to dance with me?"
Lan Shuang raised her eyebrows. Snatching someone in front of her?
Jiang Lusheng looked at her inquiringly, "Is it okay?"
Lan Shuang laughed, "Then I'll lend it to you for a while."
The man didn't hear what Lan Shuang said. When he saw Jiang Lusheng nodded, he immediately stretched out his hand.
Jiang Lusheng drank the champagne in his hand in one gulp, then put the glass in his hand, "Hold on, or I won't dance with you if you fall."
Liu Quan: "...What is he doing?"
Lan Shuang's eyes suddenly lit up, and she clapped her hands and said, "Why didn't I think of that?"
Liu Quan: “Ah?”
She whispered, "Just watch, that guy thinks he's holding the Third Miss's hand, he must be bubbling with joy."
Liu Quan was silent for a while, then asked from the bottom of his heart: "Is he an idiot?"
Lan Shuang laughed, "Look."
Liu Quan looked over without giving up, and saw Jiang Lusheng walking beside the man. The man was still holding the cup and talking to Jiang Lusheng with a smile.
When they walked onto the dance floor, Jiang Lusheng followed the man, who was spinning around with a cup in his hand, looking intoxicated.
Liu Quan: "...What an idiot."
Others also saw this scene. Li Weiyan was stunned. "Fuck, can it be like this? He is worthy of being my brother Jiang!"
After saying that, he lowered his head and searched on the table. Finally, he found half a cut cantaloupe. He grabbed the melon and put it in the man's hand. "Sir, let's continue dancing."
The man clenched the cantaloupe with great joy. "My pleasure."
Li Weiyan: "Puff——"
He covered his mouth and quietly left the dance floor. The others followed suit and stuffed bottle openers, empty beer bottles, half an apple, and a bite of cake into the men's hands.
When they stepped out, they saw several men dancing enthusiastically on the dance floor, holding all kinds of strange objects.
When the passion was at its peak, one man was dishonest and kissed the beer bottle.
Lan Shuang: “…”
"Hahahahahahahahahahaha - a bunch of idiots!" Li Weiyan stomped his feet with laughter, and the others also breathed a sigh of relief.
"From the beginning, we said these NPCs were in the plot. Why didn't we think of this method?"
Zheng Mingxin knocked his head.
Mu Tiao leaned against the table and sighed, "So your Brother Jiang is still your Brother Jiang."
"What should we do next? Has anyone found any useful plot?"
Mu Tiao looked at Liu Quan, who spread his hands. "There's nothing useful for now. I just know that the Third Miss seemed to have been sold to someone else. As for He Ping... Hey, why hasn't He Ping come back yet?"
Everyone looked at each other, no one saw He Ping.
…
In a corner of the garden, He Ping and the master stood face to face. The master took out a key from his pocket and handed it to He Ping. "This is the key to the eldest sister's room. You can come here often in the future. If she locks the door from the inside, you can use this key to open it. If it's not locked, you can go in directly."
He Ping nodded: "I have already transferred the balance to you. If the effect is good, I will give you another one million."
The old man was grinning from ear to ear, "Boss, you're very generous. Don't worry, I guarantee you'll be satisfied. Didn't you see it today? The eldest son is growing up very well and has developed very maturely. He's at the prime of his life now. He can't wait another two years."
"Well, I'll check the goods tonight."
He Pinghe and the master smiled knowingly.
After seeing the master off, He Ping came out from behind the tree. He looked bewildered for a moment, "Why am I here?"
"He Ping——"
Liu Quan called out to him, and He Ping hurried over. "Did you see me just now? How did I end up over there?"
Seeing him like this, Liu Quan knew that he had also entered the role, so he repeated to He Ping what Lan Shuang had said to him.
