Free Web NovelChapter 604: Chapter 165: Arriving at the Xie Clan Chamber of Commerce! True Overwhelming Power_2
Before coming, Xie Ling’Er already had a plan.
After all, she would eventually get married. Instead of marrying someone she didn’t know for the sake of family interests,
why not choose someone she liked and who had a brighter future?
Facing Xie Ling’Er’s obviously suggestive look, Ye Liuyun smiled.
,,,
Meanwhile.
Outside the door, Si Nan, feeling a bit bored after standing for a while, walked over to a nearby old man and raised his eyebrows while speaking.
"Your young lady might accompany my lord back home tonight. How about I take you for a stroll at the Imperial Music Bureau, if there’s nothing on your agenda?"
If each year brought the troublesome trait, Si Nan probably wouldn’t have any effective communication skills either.
",,,"
The old man said nothing, merely casting a simple glance.
Regarding Si Nan’s comment about Xie Ling’Er and Ye Liuyun returning home together, the old man didn’t show much emotional reaction either.
He was originally arranged by the family to protect Xie Ling’Er.
As long as Xie Ling’Er wasn’t in any danger herself, everything else was irrelevant to him.
As for visiting brothels, the old man truly felt no sentiment.
He merely considered that Si Nan was Ye Liuyun’s subordinate; otherwise, he wouldn’t even bother to acknowledge him.
And so it is.
The old man glanced at Si Nan and couldn’t be bothered to say anything more.
"No way!"
Seeing the old man’s demeanor, Si Nan appeared to have guessed something.
He exclaimed in surprise.
"At your age, you can’t handle it anymore, can you?"
How could anyone not enjoy visiting brothels?
As far as Ye Liuyun was concerned, it was an incomprehensible notion.
Surely no one could resist the lure of brothels, at least as Si Nan saw it.
"Scram!"
Indeed, no man could remain silent hearing this kind of remark.
Even if he was already seven or eight decades old.
"Uh!"
Si Nan did fall silent for a moment, but only for a moment.
After hesitating briefly, he sidled up to the old man again, speaking softly.
"I know a doctor who’s amazing at treating such issues!"
",,,"
If it weren’t for the genuine emotion in Si Nan’s eyes, he’d have suspected the latter was mocking him.
His fist couldn’t help but clench.
But considering that Si Nan was Ye Liuyun’s subordinate, and Ye Liuyun was a young grandmaster their family sought to recruit, he genuinely wanted to take action.
"No need!"
With a stiff tone, he turned his head away, really not wanting to engage with Si Nan.
"Alright then!"
Seeing the clear attitude, Si Nan, not being dull, naturally understood the man’s reluctance.
He could only helplessly nod.
The atmosphere became a bit quiet.
Just when the old man breathed a sigh of relief, thinking Si Nan wouldn’t speak to him anymore.
Si Nan’s shadow unknowingly edged closer again.
"Are you sure you don’t need it?"
",,,"
When Xie Ling’Er returned to the bustling building the next day, her face was still flushed, which hadn’t completely faded. Fortunately, due to her martial artist nature, Xie Ling’Er’s recovery was swift, and she didn’t seem to limp.
Thinking back to yesterday’s events.
The smile on Xie Ling’Er’s face couldn’t dissipate even now.
Success!
Xie Ling’Er knew quite well that after this incident, she’d truly secured her spot with Ye Liuyun and no longer needed to worry.
Even though Ye Liuyun might not harbor much affection for her.
This layer of relationship was more than enough!
"What’s wrong?"
It was only then Xie Ling’Er noticed something seemed off about the guard always accompanying her.
He looked somewhat aggrieved.
"It’s nothing!"
He couldn’t very well say he was pestered by Si Nan so incessantly yesterday that he felt the urge to kill him!
He adjusted his breath slowly.
Dispelling his inner thoughts, he raised his head to speak to Xie Ling’Er.
"Since the young lady brought back such a figure as Lord Ye, I bet the patriarch will surely value the young lady even more!"
Even though he was sent by the family, should Xie Ling’Er attain a higher position within the Xie Clan, he’d benefit greatly as well.
A bit of flattery wouldn’t hurt.
Interpreting the meaning in his words,
Xie Ling’Er simply smiled, without saying more. Such anticipated events were no surprise.
If anything,
the more it was so.
The more Xie Ling’Er felt her choice was correct.
,,,
Three days passed swiftly.
Fu Zhengqing probably was still planning, not having time to seek out Ye Liuyun.
Due to Yan Shuzhu’s earlier orders, Yun Hu and Guan Bao couldn’t openly send people to find Wei Hongfang, only do so secretly.
Though Yan Fuhai had berated Yun Hu and Guan Bao for incompetence a few times, he hadn’t pushed them either.
Maybe Yan Fuhai’s heart still remembered Wei Hongfang’s past loyalty.
Despite being angry back then, wishing to kill Wei Hongfang.
Yet after a few days had passed, with his anger dissipated, he wasn’t feeling that much resentment, but the man still needed to be found. After all, confirming Wei Hongfang hadn’t left the Imperial City was assurance enough.
Similarly.
The conflict between Yun Hu and Guan Bao was growing day by day.
If only they hadn’t found Wei Hongfang; if they did, they might truly resort to violence.
