Chapter 376 Is He the Partner?
The Wan family steward was already grinning from ear to ear. "Okay, Miss Song is very smart. If you have any brilliant ideas, you can tell us. We at the Wan family will definitely cooperate with you."
Only then did Wan Yanming truly believe what Song Liyun said, or rather, what his third uncle said, and his face was filled with joy.
This trip back to my hometown was very rewarding, and I didn’t expect there would be a surprise before leaving.
What a pity... He glanced at Song Liyun.
Although he asked Manager Wan not to mention the past, the word "once" was still in his mind.
Seeing Song Liyun's bright eyes, relaxed brows, and graceful demeanor at this moment, one can't help but fall in love with her.
However, he didn't dare reveal even a little bit of this feeling. All he could do was listen carefully to every word Song Liyun said, for fear of missing even a little and being laughed at.
After Song Liyun finished talking about cashmere, she didn't mention another thing at all, only saying that she had to meet with her partner to discuss it again.
After some discussion, it was only half an hour away from the hour of Wu, and it was the time agreed upon with Lin Qingyuan.
The three of them took a car directly to Guixianglou.
As soon as I got off the car outside the restaurant, I saw Lao Qian sitting in the outer hall, staring blankly outside.
When he saw Song Liyun, his expression relaxed immediately: "Miss Song, it turns out you're here!"
Song Liyun walked over quickly: "How is your master?"
Old Qian nodded: "The young master has arrived as promised and is waiting for the girl in the elegant room."
As he spoke, he looked at Steward Wan and Wan Yanming warily: "Steward Wan is also here with Miss Song?"
Song Liyun was not surprised to see that he knew the Wan family. Although there were hundreds of merchants in Pingyang Prefecture, if Lin Qingyuan wanted to investigate herself, he should have known about the Wan family long ago.
"Manager Wan is specifically here to discuss business with your master," Song Liyun explained.
Lin Qingyuan's caution made her heart a little nervous.
"Okay, young lady, please come in! Manager Wan, please come in!" Old Qian made a gesture towards the stairs, and Song Liyun, Manager Wan, and Wan Yanming did not stop and went straight upstairs.
In the No. 1 private room, Lin Qingyuan was waiting anxiously.
As soon as he saw Song Liyun, he immediately rushed over, tugging at her sleeve with a pitiful look on his face: "A Li! As expected, you are the one who is most worried about me. You actually came to help me. I will never forget your life-saving grace!"
Song Liyun flicked her sleeves and pushed him away without mercy: "Lin Qingyuan, speak properly and don't force me to slap you!"
Song Liyun didn't even bat an eyelid when she beat up Lin Qingyuan, a profiteer disguised as a dandy young man.
Lin Qingyuan was scolded, but he didn't take it seriously. Instead, he smiled and saluted Wan Dashi and Wan Yanming: "I am Lin Qingyuan, paying my respects to the two Wan Shishi."
His crazy behavior just now had already shocked the two managers of the Wan family.
At this time, the two of them looked very unhappy. When they saw him greet them, they reluctantly returned the greeting in front of Song Liyun.
The four of them sat down. Wan Yanming looked at Lin Qingyuan with displeasure, his tone tinged with contempt: "I heard that the Lin Mansion has been inconvenient to enter and leave recently. I guess Master Lin must have gone through some trouble to keep his appointment with Miss Song!"
Wan Yanming was from Pingyang Prefecture. When he went to the southeast road to take up an errand, he was also a young master in the prefecture.
Although I don't meet Lin Qingyuan often, we have had contact for a long time.
Especially since Lin Qingyuan had a bad habit of liking mature women, he was naturally excluded by other young men in the city.
Lin Qingyuan curled his lips and said, "I didn't expect that the person who asked me to meet him would be a jerk like you.
Since you've come here with Miss Song to eat and drink, I'll treat you generously. Just tell me what you want to eat."
Wan Yanming snorted coldly: "You, a stray dog, can still come up with money?
If you want to run away, just call me 'Master Wan' and I'll give you a few taels of money."
It’s no wonder Wan Yanming looked down on him. Although Lin Qingyuan’s clothes were also made of satin, they were wrinkled as if they hadn’t been changed for several days.
There was a dry brown moss mark on his armpit, and he didn't know if it was left by climbing over the wall or crawling through a dog hole.
Moreover, Wan Yanming was very annoyed by Lin Qingyuan's clumsy behavior towards Song Liyun just now, so he mocked him without mercy.
Lin Qingyuan was furious at Wan Yanming's provocation. He lifted his sleeves and was about to curse back, but was stopped by Song Liyun: "Lin Qingyuan, if you two want to quarrel, please wait a while. Let's talk about business."
After all, Manager Wan is old, and he is not as impatient as Wan Yanming, but he is not much better. His expression is stiff and he can't even smile.
He suppressed his doubts and looked at Song Liyun: "The partner Miss Song mentioned... is he?"
He originally thought that the person Song Liyun was going to introduce must be an honest and trustworthy, or a smart and capable businessman, but he didn't expect it to be this playboy who was famous in Pingyang Prefecture.
Song Liyun nodded, then glared at Lin Qingyuan and said, “The partner I was talking about is Mr. Lin, but I didn’t expect the Lin Mansion to be so deeply involved, which is a bit troublesome.
Mr. Lin, tell me the truth, is there any chance for the Lin family to escape?"
Lin Qingyuan waved his hand, as if he was talking about other families' affairs and said carelessly: "There is no guarantee. The Qi family is not making any moves now. The Lin family is destined to be abandoned."
Having said that, Lin Qingyuan suddenly smiled strangely.
He thought of his furious father in Mingxuan Hall, his limp mother, his brother whose face had turned pale with fear, and the concubines who were hugging each other and crying, and he felt inexplicably comfortable.
Lin Shouzhuo has come to this day!
As a father, seeing Lin Qinghua and his mother suppressing him everywhere, he actually said that as a bastard, he should not have any selfish thoughts and could only help Lin Qinghua wholeheartedly.
Forcing oneself to behave like a dissolute scoundrel makes people dislike you.
The Lin family had few descendants, so Lin Shouzhuo's women were brought into the house one by one.
From the day the concubine entered the mansion, she tried her best to curry favor with her stepmother in order to protect herself.
A small backyard turned a kind girl into a vicious and evil woman.
Now is the chance to leave the Lin family!
Although the government sealed the gate in the name of capturing Lin Qinghua, they did not take action to capture him. They were just biding their time.
Not only were all the people in the Lin Mansion detained behind the second gate, but even the servants and maids were not allowed to move around freely.
He was able to get out by crawling out of the dog hole in the backyard.
Hearing that the Lin family was going to be abandoned, Song Liyun frowned slightly.
She remembered that Lin Qingyuan's elder sister was the granddaughter-in-law of the Qi family. Could this marriage really be severed so easily?
Lin Qingyuan saw Song Liyun's eyebrows were knitted together, and after a moment's thought, he knew what she was thinking: "My elder sister brought her child back to visit her parents last month. I saw that she wasn't feeling well, so I set up a courtyard outside to recuperate, and asked my aunt to take care of her for a while before she left."
Song Liyun understood immediately.
Lin Qingyuan was indeed a fox with a sensitive nose. With his own reminder, he actually got all his relatives out of the Lin Mansion.
"Okay, Lin Qingyuan, I didn't expect that you really exist. Now you have nothing to worry about!" Song Liyun smiled easily.
Jiang Feng said that Lin Qinghua's collusion with officials could be big or small.
Now that the Beijing officials and the Censorate have taken action personally, that's a big deal.
Not only did the Lin family have to return to Beijing to stand trial, but all of the Lin family's assets also needed to be confiscated to fill the national treasury.
What she thought was actually right!
