Reborn in a Noble Family - Chapter 137
Chapter 137 Just Like Your Innocence
“When is it’almost ‘?” Jin Baijin asked without hesitation.
“Naturally, it was when Qiao Linzi came to Qiao Family to cause trouble.”
“Then how long do we have to wait?”
“Almost there.”
“Are you so sure?” Jin Baijin was as excited as a chicken.
“The conflict in Qiao Family has just begun. There’s no hurry. Oh right, you’ve also received Sun Xian’s invitation, right? You …”
Not a happy topic, Qiao Yunxi hesitated.
‘”I don’t know, Qiao Qiao, what do you think I should do?”
Ever since Sun Xian framed Qiao Xi last time, Jin Baijin and Sun Xian also broke off their dealings.
Although the three of them would still encounter each other in ethnology and Sun Xian even took the initiative to greet the two of them, Qiao Yunxi and Jin Baijin did not give her any face.
Sun Xian was also arrogant. After one or two times, she no longer had a hot face and cold butt. This time, after her birthday, she politely posted a post to the two of them. Qiao Yunxi did not plan to go. Anyway, everyone in the circle knew about her relationship with Sun Xian.
“Do what you think,” Qiao Xi said. “The Jin Clan and the Sun Clan are close friends. When the time comes, Madam Jin will definitely go. If you don’t go, it’s not good.”
“That’s why I’m annoyed.” Jin Baijin sighed.
Speaking of which, he was also very contradictory.
He truly treated Sun Xian as his younger sister, regardless of whether Sun Xian treated him as a wrongdoer or a benefactor. From childhood until now, he had always treated Sun Xian very intimately.
As for Qiao Xi, she was his friend and business partner. He liked Qiao Xi’s temperament very much and didn’t act pretentious.
There were a lot of people who did business, and they were tricked by the slightest slip of the tongue. Being with Qiao Yunxi made him feel especially relaxed, and he was sincere about Qiao Yunxi.
However, Sun Xian, who had always been his younger sister, had actually used unscrupulous methods to frame Qiao Yunxi. This was something he could not tolerate!
He valued his relationship with Sun Xian as well as Qiao Yunxi’s righteousness.
Qiao Xi and Sun Xian did not deal with each other. He had always known and thought of mediating between them, but when he realized that this was irreconcilable, he did not force it.
Although Qiao Yunxi ignored Sun Xian, he had never thought of using dirty methods to do anything to Sun Xian. What Sun Xian had done had already exceeded his scope of acceptance.
However, Jin Baijin was the one he loved when he was a little sister. He was so ruthless that he ignored Sun Xian. This was the reason why he was depressed.
Qiao Yunxi comforted, “My relationship with Sun Xian will not affect your relationship with Sun Xian, nor will it affect the relationship between Jin Family and the Sun Family.”
“But …”
“I understand your dilemma, you treat me as a friend, also treat Sun Xian as a friend, I have a conflict with Sun Xian, you sandwiched in the middle is very difficult to do, fatty Jin, I’m sorry. The conflict between Sun Xian and I cannot be eased in a short period of time, and it has caused trouble for you. But you have to know, no matter how I look at Sun Xian and how I get along with her, it doesn’t affect our relationship. Otherwise, I won’t cooperate with you anymore. No matter what Sun Xian wants to do to me, as long as it has nothing to do with you, it won’t affect our relationship. Of course, if you don’t report the truth, I will settle the score with you. ”
Half-joking, Qiao Xi dispelled Jin Baijin’s worries.
…
Qiao Linzi looked at the ledger carefully and couldn’t help but feel delighted in her heart.
However, in just over a month, she had more than two thousand taels of silver in her hands.
If this was the usual amount, she would have disdained it.
However, this silver was something that she and Qiu Hong would rely on in the future. It was something that she had painstakingly “earned” back. It was of great significance.
Satisfied, she put the ledger aside and leaned against Qiu Hong’s embrace.
“Zi’er, keep this money.” Qiu Hong leaned closer to Qiao Linzi’s neck and took a deep sniff.
Qiao Linzi blushed, “Shall I keep it?”
This was something she hadn’t thought about. The business was Qiu Hong’s, so it was the most suitable place to put the silver. In any case, they didn’t need to buy it with silver.
Qiu Hong said, “This is our silver. It’s the same for either of us.”
“Then where are you …”
Ever since Qiu Hong followed her, she had paid Qiu Hong fifty taels of silver a month. It didn’t look like much, but it was for food and shelter. This fifty taels of silver was obtained by Qiu Hong Bai. He only needed to serve her when she had an idea. There was no need to worry about anything else.
However, things were different now. Qiu Hong had to work hard for the future of the two of them. He had become the supplier of medicinal ingredients for “Food Under Heaven”, and there had been more social interactions with them.
Do you think that if you sign a contract with Meals Under Heaven, then the cooperation will be 100%?
There was also a need to maintain a relationship, such as with the manager, the shopkeeper, eating from time to time, and doing things that men liked. All of this required money.
“Zi’er, don’t worry. I still have more than a hundred taels in my hand.” Qiu Hong said naively.
“How is that enough?” Qiao Linzi handed the banknote to Qiu Hong. “You haven’t done business before. You don’t know the twists and turns in the business world. You can’t save the money that you should spend. Only by doing what you like can you get what we want.”
Qiu Hong looked confused.
Qiao Linzi smiled.
Didn’t she like Qiu Hong’s innocence?
Her eyes were clear. There was no such thing as the filth of a mundane man. If it weren’t for her having nowhere to go, she wouldn’t have followed her. After that, she discovered that her goodness was inseparable from her.
Therefore, even if she had to socialize on some dirty occasions, she was at ease with Qiu Hong.
Qiu Hong was different. He was a clean man.
“It doesn’t matter. I’ll teach you slowly. Put away the banknotes first.” Rest assured of Qiu Hong, Qiao Linzi simply put all the silver notes on him.
“The medicinal ingredients in the Li Clan’s warehouse are only enough for us this month,” Qiao Linzi said with a worried expression. “I do know a few medicinal farmers, but if I buy them from them, I need capital.”
How could she take it directly from the Li Clan’s warehouse?
During this period of time, she had taken out all the medicinal ingredients that she had provided for the “Diet Under Heaven” from the Li Clan’s warehouse. The Li Clan was the biggest herbal medicine merchant in Jincheng, and they had their own herbal fields. Apart from that, they would also buy them from the herbal farmers.
The things she took out from the warehouse were all the Li Clan’s “grain reserves”.
Medicinal ingredients were different from the medicine used in the clinic. The clinic collected all kinds of medicinal ingredients, and the medicinal ingredients suitable for making medicinal food were more exquisite. Each of the medicinal ingredients purchased by the Li Clan had a share. The ones she had taken away, without any new replenishment, could only be purchased from other places. In this way, she would need capital.
This was the last thing she wanted.
The business without capital was her favourite.
Qiu Hong comforted, “I have contacted a few medicinal farmers during this period of time and bought a batch from them. In addition to the ones you gave me, it will last through this month.”
“What about next month?” Qiao Linzi thought for a long time. ‘”This is not a long-term plan. There are a lot of pharmaceutical manufacturers in Jincheng, but it’s not convenient for me to come forward. If you come forward, the other party will bully us, and we will suffer in terms of price. Furthermore, everyone knows that you are the supplier of the’ Food World ‘. If they join forces and cut off the supply of goods, the price will be too high, not only will our cooperation with the’ Food World ‘be affected.”
Qiu Hong’s eyes darkened as he stared at Qiao Linzi’s chest. “I was too anxious to succeed. I just wanted to give us a guarantee in the future, but I didn’t see through my abilities. I still need you to help me now.”
After saying that, Qiu Hong’s voice was slightly inaudible, and he had a strong sense of inferiority.
“Shiro, what nonsense are you talking about?” Qiao Linzi couldn’t help but lean towards Qiu Hong and said in a lustful voice, “You’re doing this for me. For us, I’m very happy. Why would I blame you? This is our business, so we naturally have to face it together.”
Speaking of emotions, Qiao Linzi’s voice choked up.
Qiu Hong’s eyes reddened with emotion as he hugged Qiao Linzi in his arms. “It’ll be fine, it’ll be fine. Zi’er, we’ll be fine. Oh right, Brother Rui hasn’t been here these past few days, is there something wrong?”
Seeing Qiu Hong change the topic, Qiao Linzi also restrained her emotions. “Brother Rui has been following her classmates on a spring outing these past few days and hasn’t returned yet.”
“That’s good. Brother Rui is very talented. He is the material for studying. He needs to be nurtured properly.”
“Brother Rui was able to pass the entrance exam because of Siro’s careful guidance. Without you opening up a small kitchen for Brother Rui every once in a while, he wouldn’t have such a result.”
“We also need Brother Rui to have that ability. Otherwise, no matter how many small stoves I open privately, he won’t be able to achieve anything.”
After a pause, Qiu Hong asked inaccurately, “If Brother Rui knows about us …”
“Brother Rui is the most sensible,” Qiao Linzi said unconfidently. “My two children are the most filial to me and have a deep relationship with me. They are also the most protective of me in the Li Clan. Don’t worry, if Li and I are together, the two children will definitely follow me, but …”
“Your child is my child.” Qiu Hong’s words undoubtedly reassured Qiao Linzi.
Qiao Linzi snuggled in Qiu Hong’s arms and said, “Alright, don’t say those disappointing words. Follow up with the medicine farmer and buy the medicinal ingredients back. You can be at ease. As for the money, I’ll think of a way.”
Returning from the suburbs, Qiao Linzi went back to her mother’s house without stopping.
Old Madame Qiao pulled her to sit beside her and asked her about the latest situation.
“Mother, I’ll go to the golden shop today and look at a set of noodles. It’s just right for you, so I’ll buy it.”
The nanny next to him took out a tray and handed it to Old Madam Qiao.
Old Madame Qiao did not take a closer look. She only glanced at it and said angrily, “Mother doesn’t lack these things. Why did you buy them? Why didn’t you buy a set for yourself?”
“Naturally, I’ll give the good stuff to mother first,” Qiao Linzi said coquettishly. “This is a golden shop. It’s said that it’s very popular in the capital. Daughter, seeing that the workmanship is exquisite and the style is not available in Jincheng, bought it. Mother, let’s try it.”
Old Madame Qiao prevaricated, but she still allowed Qiao Linzi to put her head on her head.
Qiao Linzi took a closer look and said with satisfaction, “Only mother can suppress this kind of thing.”
“This child” Old Madame Qiao was in a good mood. She turned to Mammy Gong and said, “Go to my room and get the money.”
