Zhou Chenyang felt relieved. He thought Lin Xiuyan had changed and she was jealous for a long time.
Sure enough, her whole heart was on him and she was fascinated by him.
She satisfied some of his vanity, but he had other intentions. At this time, he was willing to put down his body and coax her: "What are you thinking about!"
"I gave your cousin a hairpin because you have a good relationship. I hope she can say a few nice words for me in front of you to make our relationship go further."
Lin Xiuyan felt sick in her heart when she saw him using the most serious expression and saying the most unreliable words.
She was really blinded by lard in her previous life, so she would believe such nonsense!
A shy smile appeared on her face: "No matter how good my relationship is with my cousin, it can't be as good as the relationship I have with you. After all, we are the ones who live our lives together."
Zhou Chenyang was very satisfied with her reaction, but he was very disdainful in his heart.
He wanted to chime in with a few words to clear up the matter, but unexpectedly she put her hands on her hips and said, "You gave your cousin the hairpin to solidify our relationship, but I'm still very angry!"
"I want ten hairpins that are better than the one you gave to your cousin. Go buy them now and give them to me, otherwise this matter will never end!"
Zhou Chenyang: "..."
If she had made such a request before, he would have been too lazy to pay attention to her.
But today he had something to say and wanted to hold her back from returning to the Lin Mansion, so he could only patiently agree: "Okay, I'll buy it for you in a minute."
Lin Xiuyan was still reluctant: "I want it now, you go and buy it for me right away!"
Zhou Chenyang looked at her with displeasure, and seeing the coquettish look on her face, she really kicked her nose in the face!
He decided not to indulge her: "I'm not free now!"
Lin Xiuyan snorted, stamped her foot, turned around and left.
Zhou Chenyang knew she was going home as soon as he saw her posture, so he had to hold her back: "Okay, don't be angry, I will take you to buy it!"
He didn't plan to buy her anything, he just wanted to delay it.
After all, she always has a temper that comes and goes quickly. If she casually talks about other things for a while, she will probably forget about it.
Today, Lin Xiuyan showed her pampering temperament to the fullest: "You can pick one hairpin for your cousin, but you can't pick ten hairpins for me?"
"I don't want to choose, I want you to choose for me, I'll wait for you here!"
Zhou Chenyang was almost exhausted by her patience and gave her a cold look.
She said with red eyes: "If you don't want to pick a hairpin for me, does that mean you don't have me in your heart at all? Do you like your cousin?"
Zhou Chenyang suppressed his temper and said: "What are you talking about? I will buy it for you now!"
He turned around and left. Lin Xiuyan said loudly: "The hairpin you gave to your cousin is from Zhenbao Pavilion. I want the hairpin from Zhenbao Pavilion too!"
"If you can't buy it back within half an hour, I...I...I won't marry you!"
Zhou Chenyang's face turned dark. The cheapest hairpin in Zhenbao Pavilion cost a hundred taels of silver. She asked for ten of them. What a big face!
But when he thought about the mountains of gold, silver and jewelry in the Lin Mansion and his future, he couldn't bear it, got on his horse and went to buy her a hairpin.
Lin Xiuyan narrowed her eyes slightly when she saw his actions.
In her previous life, she would try to coax Zhou Chenyang whenever he lost his temper. She tried her best to please him every day, but he never gave her anything.
He would occasionally say something pleasant to her, and she would be happy for a long time.
Today she was making such a fuss, but he went to buy a hairpin to coax her.
Sure enough, men are all bitches!
As soon as Zhou Chenyang left, Lin Xiuyan entered the teahouse on the roadside, and the guards left behind by Zhou Chenyang wanted to follow.
She glared at him and said, "Baba is following me like this. Is he trying to trick me?"
The guard didn't look very good, thinking that she wouldn't cause any trouble in the teahouse, so he didn't follow her.
As soon as Lin Xiuyan entered the teahouse, she asked for a private room near the back door, told the waiter not to disturb her, closed the door, opened the window and jumped out from upstairs.
She didn't disturb anyone the whole time, and everyone thought she was still drinking tea in the teahouse.
She ran from the street behind the shop to an alley, grabbed a horse on the side of the road, and said: "I bought this horse, you go to the Lin Mansion to get the money."
She ignored the astonished expression of the horse owner and rode the horse quickly towards the Lin Mansion.
She was in an anxious mood. She was afraid that she would be late when she returned and would not have time to stop Lin's father from investing in Xinzhitang.
The reason why she sent Zhou Chenyang and the guards away was because she was afraid that they would get in the way.
Lin Xiuyan returned to the Lin Mansion soon. When the concierge saw her, he was stunned for a moment, but shouted: "The eldest lady is back!"
When he came to hold the horse for her, she gave the porter a cold look, her almond-shaped eyes filled with frost, and the porter retracted his hand sarcastically.
Lin Xiuyan knew that now was not the time to deal with the shady concierge, so she sneered and rode her horse in quickly.
After she walked away, the concierge let out a "poof" and cursed: "Let's see how long you can stay arrogant!"
Over in the main courtyard, Lin's father, Lin Yunzhi, was discussing with others the matter of buying a stake in Xinzhitang.
Jiang Xinrou's ears were sharp. When she heard the concierge's voice, she subconsciously clenched her hands into fists. This bitch, Lin Xiuyan, was actually not dead yet!
When she saw that Lin Yunzhi didn't respond, she knew that he hadn't heard the concierge's voice, and hurriedly persuaded him: "Uncle, the business of the Lin family is not as good as before."
"My cousin acts arbitrarily and it is difficult for her to calm down and do business. My uncle must pave the way for my cousin early."
"Xinzhitang has its own water and land transportation lines, which can make Lin's business bigger and more stable."
"This is definitely the best time for my uncle to invest in Xinzhidang. This matter will bring all the benefits to the Lin family and no harm at all."
There was some hesitation in Lin Yunzhi's eyes, and the manager of Xinzhitang next to him also said: "We have always made a steady profit in this business."
"If it weren't for the money needed to open up new routes this time, I wouldn't have found anyone to buy shares."
"If Mr. Lin misses this opportunity, I'm afraid he won't have such a good opportunity in the future."
Lin Yunzhi looked at the contract and said, "One hundred thousand taels of silver only accounts for 20% of Xinzhitang's shares. Isn't it too little?"
He has always wanted to open up a transportation line, but has been unable to succeed due to various factors.
Xinzhitang came to the door at this time, and he was moved. If they hadn't given them too few shares, he would have signed the contract long ago.
Jiang Xinrou put herself in Father Lin's shoes and said, "Uncle may not know yet that this Xinzhitang is the property of the Lord of the City."
"My cousin is getting married to the city lord next month, and we will become a family."
"My uncle's investment in Xinzhitang is equivalent to adding a dowry to my cousin. In the future, my cousin will have more confidence in front of the Lord of the City."
"We are all one family. It doesn't matter whether we have more shares or less."
Lin Yunzhi sighed softly when he thought of Lin Xiuyan's devotion to Zhou Chenyang.
Yes, the Lin Mansion is not short of these one hundred thousand taels of silver. As long as Zhou Chenyang treats Lin Xiuyan well, the silver can be given to Zhou Chenyang for free.
