Daiyu from the Red Mansion is also arguing with people today

Chapter 142 No More Love Brain

"Yes, mother." Wang Tingyu immediately admitted his mistake and apologized sincerely, "I misunderstood Miss Lin. If I have the chance in the future, I will apologize to her in person!"

"She doesn't need to be my guest." Xu Zhilan couldn't help laughing when he thought of his plan. "I have an idea. I want to adopt her as my goddaughter..."

"No!"

Before Xu Zhilan could finish her words, Wang Tingyu interrupted her. Both Xu Zhilan and Wang Zhisong were shocked by his attitude, and the scene instantly became awkward.

"Is this the attitude you should have towards your mother?"

Wang Tingyu now realized that his tone was too harsh, and he quickly apologized, "Mother, it's my fault, I didn't mean to contradict you. But, before I adopt Miss Lin as my adopted daughter, I should first obtain Master Lin's consent!"

Xu Zhilan looked down on Lin Ruhai the most: "Yu'er and I love each other, and I received such a big gift from her. What's wrong with me being her godmother and supporting her? If Lin Ruhai has the ability and dares to say no in front of Min'er's grave, I respect him!"

"Mother! It's really inappropriate." Seeing her firm attitude, Wang Tingyu made up his mind and had to sell his brother.

Xu Zhilan was stunned at first, then burst into laughter, her eyes narrowed into slits. She glared at Wang Tingyu in a reproachful manner, and kept praising him: "Why didn't you tell me such a good thing earlier!"

She muttered to herself, spinning around excitedly in place: "Oh, why didn't I think of such a good idea! Yu'er is obviously smart and independent. Look at what she did after coming to Beijing. Tsk tsk! When Yu'er really marries into our family, Lin Ruhai will be so angry that he will jump to his feet. Hahaha! I feel happy when I think of this!"

The two people present listened to her muttering, but Wang Tingyu couldn't help interrupting and said, "Mother, we still have to ask Lord Lin to marry us!"

Xu Zhilan glared at him, but his mind was clear: "You are right. No, your father...well, he can't be relied on, your brother depends on you. In the future, if you make a contribution and ask for an arranged marriage, Lin Ruhai will have nothing to say."

Wang Tingyu suddenly felt a lot of pressure: "That being said, it depends on whether Miss Lin is willing!"

"Why don't you finish speaking in one breath!" Xu Zhilan slapped him in anger. Now, she remembered that the jade pendant she had originally intended to give to Wang Tingyu was no longer suitable.

Xu Zhilan picked up the box at hand, took out a pair of earrings from it, wrapped them in a handkerchief, and handed them to Wang Tingyu: "This is for your wife."

Wang Tingyu took the cloth bag, looked at his mother's back as she left, and murmured to himself, "You all have them, but what about mine?"

Wang Zhisong also stood up at this time and glanced at him: "Why is a grown man wearing jewelry!"

He hummed a little tune, put his fist on his chest, and left with Xu Zhilan.

The two Wang brothers had no idea that from that day on, they began their miserable lives: Wang Tingyu was urged to achieve great things, while Wang Tingyao bid farewell to his happy "childhood".

Wang Tingyu returned to his study and took out the earrings his mother had given him. They were also made of icy jadeite. Although compared with the bracelet and the ring, they used much less material, but the quality of the jade was exactly the same and the value was not low.

The total value of this set is at least 100,000 taels of silver.

Just as he was lost in thought, there was a rustling sound outside the study. A young woman dressed as a woman walked in gracefully, her voice as gentle as water: "My dear, it's late at night, go to bed."

For some reason, Wang Tingyu turned his wrist and held the earrings tightly in his hand, with no intention of handing them over to Chen: "I still have some official business, you go to bed first."

"Yes, husband, don't work too hard!" Chen wanted to say something but stopped herself, feeling a little unwilling. But in the end, she obeyed obediently and left the study, leaving a faint fragrance in the room.

Wang Tingyu sighed, wrapped up the earrings, and put them back into his arms. He turned his head to one direction and said softly, "Come out."

As soon as he finished speaking, a man in black nightgown appeared from behind the screen and knelt on one knee: "Master, what do you want?"

"Send a message to Lengquan and tell him that I agree with Qingyan's previous proposal and give her a 15% bonus." Wang Tingyu lowered his eyes, and his long eyelashes concealed his deep eyes.

Beilu accepted the order without hesitation, clasped his fists, and quickly disappeared into the study.

Daiyu was unaware of this at the moment, but her kindness not only touched Xu Zhilan's heart, but also unintentionally facilitated her cooperation with Wang Tingyu.

She was still joking with Yingchun at this time: "Your decision seems to have completely drawn a line between you and the Jia family."

"Of course! Believe it or not, once they know that I bought the shop myself, they will definitely take it for themselves under the pretext that unmarried children cannot have private property!" Yingchun directly expressed her dissatisfaction, "You know my father, so I have no choice but to pay 40% of the interest to protect myself!"

Daiyu nodded to show her understanding: "It's good this way. With Yihuoge and Linji looking after us, both Black and White have backers. Your little tricks won't attract too much attention."

"Even if someone really notices it, the worst that can happen is that I can just sell the recipe. It'll be fine as long as it doesn't prevent me from running the shop!" Yingchun was quite optimistic. "We've eaten so many delicious foods before. How can we be stumped by such a small thing?"

Daiyu couldn't help but think of the potatoes she had asked people to find, and said with emotion: "It's a pity that potatoes are so hard to find at this time, otherwise there would be so many delicious things to make!"

"Yes!" Yingchun's eyes lit up. She knew more than Daiyu. She asked hesitantly, "Can I tell you about the potatoes?"

"Just tell me, why do you need to ask me?"

Yingchun smiled happily upon hearing this, but soon she calmed down and said in defense, "I'm not in love! I'm doing this to strengthen my position in Yihuo Pavilion."

"Yes, yes, yes!" Daiyu cooperated lovingly.

However, Yingchun was obviously not satisfied and only gave up after Daiyu told her several times that she was not in love.

"In fact, as long as you are willing and don't hurt others, it's fine even if you want to be love-brained."

Yingchun shook her head like a rattle: "No, before it was because I admired the strong. Now that I have you, I don't care about him anymore!"

Daiyu was slightly stunned and stared into her eyes: "Are you serious?!"

Without waiting for Yingchun to answer, Daiyu realized that Yingchun had really come out of it because she didn't see any trace of obsession in her eyes.

"That's right! There are many better flowers in the world, so why should you love only one? At worst, you can find a handsome man and become his son-in-law!" Daiyu couldn't help but tell Yingchun about Qin Keqing's plan.
