Chapter 625 Negotiating with Xiao Nian
“You can let him do that.”
Wan Qiqi remained calm and smiled, "But everyone knows you came to see me today. If I am kicked out, I think the young master's reputation in Yunhe County will be ruined."
Late Autumn did not expose Xiao Nian.
She knew that Xiao Nian had come to find her because she had suffered a defeat at Xiao Han's hands and wanted to find her so that she would withdraw voluntarily.
But she has always been like that; once she chooses something, she will stick to it to the end, with no option to give up halfway.
This was true before, and it remains true now.
"Wan Qiqi, don't go too far!" Xiao Nian slapped the back of the chair, her body trembling slightly.
"Second Miss, have you thought about this? If I really withdraw, the first person everyone will think of is you, because you came to the restaurant to see me; if that happens, how will the Xiao family be talked about?" Wan Qiqi asked seriously.
Xiao Nian was speechless after being confronted by Wan Qiqi.
Upon reflection, she realized that she had acted too impulsively today, damaging the reputation of the Xiao family.
"But is the Xiao family's reputation really more important than the people themselves?"
Wan Qiqi's question surprised Xiao Nian, who didn't understand why she would ask such a question.
The answer is obvious: the Xiao family's reputation is more important!
"I think the most important thing is people. You can earn back your reputation and such, but once you lose someone important, you can never get them back!"
Wan Qiqi's words made Xiao Nian fall into deep thought.
Suddenly, Xiao Nian's curtain was lifted, startling her so much that she stumbled backward and bumped into the cold back of the chair.
She winced in pain, her brows furrowing. "Wan Qiqi, what exactly do you want to do?"
Xiao Nian's face had a sickly pale color, which gave him an eerie appearance at first glance.
Wan Qiqi knew that it was because Xiao Nian had kept himself indoors for a long time and was unwilling to come out.
Just as she always wore a veil when she went out, blocking their view and burying herself in the shadows.
“I would like to take Miss Wan to a place where you might have a different experience.” Wan Qiqi lifted the carriage curtain and looked at Ada outside: “Please take us to the western suburbs of Yunhe County.”
"Ah Da, don't listen to her!" Xiao Nian tried to stop her, but when she met Wan Qiqi's gaze, she turned her face away. "Wan Qiqi, don't try anything funny, I'm not going anywhere!"
"Second Miss, why do you always reject new things? Don't you feel uncomfortable burying yourself in the ground?" Wan Qiqi asked.
Immediately, taking advantage of Ah Da's inattention, she kicked him down and shouted, "Li Wei, Gou Sheng, stop him!"
As soon as he finished speaking, two men rushed out of the restaurant and stopped Ah Da.
Wan Qiqi held the reins, turned the car around, and drove off.
Xiao Nian wanted to stop it, but the carriage was moving fast and she had a leg ailment, so she dared not move rashly. She could only shout, "Wan Qiqi, let me tell you, if anything happens to me, the Xiao family will not let you off!"
Wan Qiqi ignored it.
"Wan Qiqi, stop! I'm not going anywhere..."
"Wan Qiqi, if you don't stop, I'll have you killed..."
"Wan Qiqi, stop! I want to go back to the Xiao residence..."
"Wan Qiqi..."
Only after Wan Qiqi was certain that A Da couldn't catch up for the time being did she slow down and slowly drive away from Yunhe County.
Along the way, many people cast curious glances at him.
First, this is the Xiao family's carriage; second, why is a woman driving it? How could a woman drive a carriage?
Xiao Nian gradually recovered.
The wind lifted the carriage curtain, allowing her to see envious glances from outside the window.
At this moment, she was also slightly surprised that Wan Qiqi, a woman, could control the carriage so well.
"Second Miss, how's my driving skill? Not worse than your coachman's, right?" Wan Qiqi grinned.
"Terrible." Xiao Nian would never admit that Wan Qiqi was amazing.
Having already left Yunhe County, Xiao Nian had no choice but to let Wan Qiqi drive.
The carriage stopped shortly afterward.
Wan Qiqi lifted the carriage curtain, "Can you walk? I can't lift the wheelchair and you, so I'll have to carry you down in batches."
"I won't go down," Xiao Nian refused.
Wan Qiqi didn't insist, but instead opened the carriage curtain wider to ensure that Xiao Nian could see the outside scenery.
"This vegetable patch was temporarily moved here by someone. These vegetables will be processed by us and turned into dishes for everyone to eat."
Wan Qiqi pointed in the distance, "That patch of green vegetables is what we eat most often." Then she pointed to a few other places, "Those are seeds I bought from a foreign trade merchant. The green ones I call cucumbers, those round red ones are tomatoes, and the curved red ones are peppers..."
Wan Qiqi gave a very detailed introduction, even describing what the dishes would taste like, and also introducing some dishes that are still in production.
Xiao Nian seemed a little dazed, then asked, "Why is green called cucumber? What about round green ones called persimmons? And what about green, curved ones?"
Wan Qiqi: "..."
This person is probably here to cause trouble, right?
When I first learned about these things, I called them by this name, and aren't the two colors the same thing?
Why should we differentiate between them?
"What? Can't say anything?" Seeing Wan Qiqi's discomfiture, Xiao Nian seemed to feel much better, adopting an arrogant demeanor as if to say that the person in front of her was nothing special.
“These are things from outside, almost no one has ever seen them before. It’s already quite impressive if you can even name one!” Wan Qiqi didn’t want to argue with Xiao Nian, and her expression was helpless.
Xiao Nian, however, questioned the situation, believing herself to be slightly better. She raised her chin, looking superior, and said, "Let me tell you, if you were to fall and hurt me, ten of you wouldn't be enough to compensate me."
"Yes, so do you want to come down?" Wan Qiqi asked again.
