Chapter 638: Inexplicable Sourness
Perhaps the two of them felt that the argument was too intense, they looked at Su Nuan at the same time and smiled.
Su Nuan was a little embarrassed, but waved her hand and said, "It's okay, it's okay, you guys continue."
After saying that, she didn't forget to eat a small fish to calm her nerves.
Bai Tong asked blankly, "Are you talking about business or arguing?"
Bai Xuehua said apologetically, "I'm sorry, we were too involved. The business world is like a battlefield, so it's okay to say we had a quarrel."
Li Fengxing coughed dryly, "In the business world, people don't think that they have to make concessions just because the other party is a woman. Merchants don't seek profit, so they just become money-giving boys."
Ling Cang stood up and said, "I have something else to do, you two can talk slowly."
Ling Yun said: "Big brother must have hidden away. He is not good at business."
Bai Tong muttered, "No one dares to speak when such a fierce person sits at the negotiation table. He must be good at business."
Su Nuan smiled and said, "Ling Cang is a very good person, very gentle, not fierce at all."
Bai Tong glanced sideways and said disapprovingly, "The person you think is good may not necessarily be good to me. Don't impose your ideas on me."
"Also, don't say I don't understand him. Even if I do, what does it matter? I don't want a man like that as my husband."
Su Nuan smiled and said, "What kind do you want?"
Bai Tong shook his head blankly, "I don't know either. Maybe I'll know when I meet him."
Su Nuan felt that Bai Tong was right. People who are considered good by their own people may not be considered good by others.
Similarly, people who you think are not good may be super good in the eyes of others.
She smiled and said, "Okay, I'll wait and see."
Bai Tong sighed, "The people I've met are all two-faced and very good at pretending. They make people think they are upright men, but in the end they retreat when faced with difficulties."
"Men like this are so obsessed with saving face that they won't admit when they've made a mistake, but instead find excuses to blame others."
Su Nuan was silent. This seemed to be about Zhao Jingcheng. He often blamed himself for the mistakes, and then used his eloquence to make himself believe that he was right.
Thinking of this, Su Nuan grinned, feeling disgusted by her previous self. Why did she believe Zhao Jingcheng's lies?
Bai Tong saw Su Nuan in a daze and asked, "What are you thinking about? If I said something wrong, you must tell me. I can't see my own mistakes."
Su Nuan laughed, "No, you're quite cute like this."
Bai Tong giggled and ate like a little squirrel.
Ling Yun couldn't say anything and could only serve as a foil.
Su Nuan listened for a while and finally understood.
Li Fengxing wanted to expand his trade routes and only sell high-quality salt, while Bai Xuehua wanted to trade with officials on a small scale.
As a result, both of them felt that the other was seeking death and looked down on the other's plan.
Su Nuan sighed, "Not everyone can fight a war like this."
"If it's a battlefield, even with brute force and no brains, I can still fight. But this business war... hehe..."
Su Nuan smiled helplessly and self-deprecatingly, knowing that she was not cut out for it.
She felt that no matter how much she listened, she would not be able to learn anything, so she asked, "Do you have any good ideas to entertain yourself?"
Bai Tong's eyes lit up, "Hunting?"
Ling Yun frowned and said, "The prey is not fat now."
Bai Tong pouted, "What can be done?"
Su Nuan thought for a moment and said, "Let's farm. I got some sugarcane last time, so I can find a place to plant it."
Ling Yun asked curiously, "Sugarcane? But it won't grow if you plant it now. Why not wait until spring?"
Su Nuan smiled and said, "Planting now will allow the roots to adapt to the soil. We can harvest what grows before it freezes, because if we don't harvest it, it will freeze and get damaged."
"Cover the roots in the ground with straw mats so that more buds will sprout in the spring."
Ling Yun asked again: "What can we do with the sugarcane that's not yet mature? It seems a bit wasteful."
Su Nuan glanced sideways, "How can it be wasted? The tender tips can be used for cooking, and the stems can be used as feed. It won't be wasted."
Ling Yun suddenly realized, "So that's how it is. Let's go then."
Bai Tong didn't want to work, but was curious about how sugarcane was grown. "Okay, I'll go with you."
Su Nuan put down the snacks and left the residence with the two of them.
Ling Yun said what he was thinking, "I will decorate a separate room for you in the front yard, and you can meet guests there in the future."
"So that they don't bother you with their quarrels like today."
Su Nuan didn't expect Ling Yun to be so thoughtful. She smiled and said, "Thank you."
Ling Yun was not very happy. He thought it was too awkward to say thank you, but he did not say it.
Bai Tong hooked his arm around Su Nuan's neck and whispered, "This Ling Yun is pretty good."
Su Nuan felt a trace of sadness in her heart when she heard this, but it quickly passed.
She smiled and asked, "Do you like it?"
Bai Tong nodded, "I like it very much. I'm sure I'll be very touched if someone thinks of me this carefully."
Su Nuan forced a smile, and the bitterness in her heart surged again, "Then let me ask him how he feels about you?"
Bai Tong refused, "Don't, I can see that he only has eyes for you."
After that, she whispered, "I think you and Ling Yun are a good match. Ling Cang standing next to you is like a black bear and a beautiful woman. He can eat you up at any time."
Su Nuan was speechless. How could Ling Cang be so scary? On the contrary, she felt that Ling Cang could give people a sense of security.
However, Su Nuan has finally begun to face up to a problem. In the past, she put survival first and did not pay attention to the differences between men and women. Now that survival is no longer a problem, she must start to avoid suspicion.
Although I have been numb to being scolded for a long time and don't feel anything about those malicious intentions, I still have friends and family...
Those rumors can't hurt me, but they might hurt them...
Thinking of this, Su Nuan felt a sense of powerlessness in her heart. This is the helplessness of ordinary people.
Doing things requires looking ahead and behind, and balancing left and right...
If...if I had a high enough status, enough power...
Don't say that you haven't done something like having one woman and two men. Even if you did, they would tout it as a blessing.
Su Nuan sighed and let out the depression in her chest. The sour feeling was gone, but the invisible feeling of shackles came over her heart again.
She secretly glanced at Ling Yun, hmm... he was quite handsome, the cool and aloof young man exuded vitality, and it was very pleasing to look at him.
Suddenly Ling Yun's gaze shifted and met Su Nuan's.
Su Nuan was like a cat caught doing something bad, her hair standing on end.
She quickly looked away and lowered her head guiltily.
There was a little person in my heart who kept complaining, "What are you afraid of? I don't know how many times I've seen it. I'd recognize it even if it turned into ash, right?"
"With your little courage, you still want to travel around the world. Just stay at home and be a turtle."
Su Nuan was instigated by this inexplicable idea and was furious. She suddenly looked at Ling Yun and stared at him intently.
