Chapter 264: The Jiang Family Lost Its Face
Here, Li Yan'er didn't dare to move at all under the intimidation of Xie Jiaojiao. She just thought that Xie Jiaojiao was a shrew!
She felt contempt in her heart, but then she felt that her cousin had a hard time, having to deal with such a shrew every day. She simply didn't dare to get close to her.
Li Yan'er turned her head and looked out the window, not looking at Xie Jiaojiao.
The hot pot was served, and Xie Jiaojiao added seasonings according to her own preferences.
It was Li Yan'er's first time eating hotpot. She was afraid that Xie Jiaojiao would think she was a bumpkin, so she looked at Qiuxiang, asking Qiuxiang to give her one too. Qiuxiang smiled with her lips pursed.
While eating, she also observed how Xie Jiaojiao ate.
After a few bites, it tastes delicious.
Xie Jiaojiao had already put away her chopsticks, but she was still eating.
Xie Jiaojiao looked at her and said, "I have something to do this afternoon. If you feel bored, you can go to the third floor to watch a show, or you can ask Qiuxiang to go shopping with you."
Li Yan'er was still eating. When she heard her say this, she wanted to say something, but her mouth was too busy.
Just as Xie Jiaojiao was about to leave, she swallowed the mouthful and asked hurriedly, "Where's my cousin?"
Xie Jiaojiao turned around and looked at her coldly: "What? You really want to be my mistress?"
Li Yan'er choked and Qiuxiang quickly handed her some water.
"What nonsense are you talking about! I am the eldest daughter of the Jiang family..."
Before she finished speaking, Xie Jiaojiao interrupted her: "How can you, the eldest daughter of the Jiang family, be a mistress?"
Li Yan'er snorted.
Xie Jiaojiao turned around, looked at her and continued, "Since you also know that you are the eldest daughter of the Jiang family, don't do anything that would be beneath your status, otherwise it would be a disgrace to the Jiang family if it gets out."
Seeing her accusing her, Li Yan'er stood up and pointed at Xie Jiaojiao: "You are a village woman, what right do you have to say that to me? If Li Qiu and that bitch hadn't wanted to use the marriage between my cousin and you to humiliate my cousin, do you think you could marry my cousin?"
"But I'm already married to your cousin! Grandpa and your father both recognize my identity, but you don't?"
Li Yan'er was speechless again.
Xie Jiaojiao didn't waste time talking to her. She threw a bag of silver from her bosom onto the table and said to Qiuxiang, "Accompany my cousin to take a good look around Jiangbo City this afternoon!"
Qiuxiang bowed slightly.
As soon as Xie Jiaojiao left, Li Yan'er sat down and threw the chopsticks in her hand away angrily.
Then she felt wronged and started to cry: "This is so bullying, wuwu... No one in Beijing dares to insult me like this! And my cousin, I came from so far away... but he doesn't even want to see me! Wuwu..."
Qiu Xiang watched silently. When Li Yan'er had finished crying, she wiped the tears from her eyes and said, "Go... go get me another pair of chopsticks. I'm hungry."
Qiuxiang was stunned for a moment and hurried to get her new chopsticks. Seeing that Li Yan'er was eating with relish, Qiuxiang thought in her heart that this cousin was really simple-minded. She was crying one second and shouting that she was hungry the next!
When Xie Jiaojiao left Xiangyuan Tower, she whispered a few words into Lai Fu's ear. Lai Fu nodded slightly at her and ran away.
Only after seeing Lai Fu leave did she slowly walk towards the pier.
Watching Gao Shen and He Zhongsheng chatting from afar, Xie Jiaojiao walked over with a smile on her face.
"We're already chatting."
When Gao Shen saw her, he immediately laughed: "Thank you, sister, you're here!"
"What do you think, Brother Gao?"
Gao Shen sighed and nodded: "This can be regarded as the largest dock in Jiangbo City."
He Zhongsheng nodded immediately, looking confident: "Since I'm going to do it, I'll naturally make it the biggest one in Jiangbo City, don't you think so, my dear daughter-in-law?"
This old fox is always pointing fingers at her!
Xie Jiaojiao took over his words, nodded slightly, and then said: "When the time comes, I'll trouble Brother Gao to speak for me in front of your friends."
"Of course, but if it were just idle traders like us, I'm afraid we wouldn't be able to support such a large dock, right?"
Having said that, He Zhongsheng also looked at Xie Jiaojiao.
Xie Jiaojiao also glanced at He Zhongsheng, and said to Gao Shen: "Don't worry about this. I certainly can't rely on you completely, otherwise it will put a lot of pressure on you!"
When Gao Shen heard this, he pointed at Xie Jiaojiao and laughed.
Xie Jiaojiao also smiled and said to He Zhongsheng, "Uncle He, don't worry, I have already written to grandpa, and grandpa has replied. The list from his friend will be in your hands in two days!"
When He Zhongsheng heard her say this, he was so happy.
"Since Xingxian's daughter-in-law said this, I feel relieved. So uncle, I will wait for good news."
Xie Jiaojiao smiled and nodded.
He Zhongsheng continued, "After the dragon boat race is over, I will quickly clean up the dock to avoid disrupting business."
……
On the other side, Jiang Weinan woke up from his bed, furious, and yelled at the people next to him, "Who knocked me out?"
The servants dared not speak at all.
Jiang Weinan stood up and hit one of the men on the head. The two servants quickly knelt down.
"Master, we are also following orders."
Jiang Weinan looked at them without saying anything. He put his hands behind his back and prepared to walk out.
The two men hurriedly stood up and stopped Jiang Weinan.
Jiang Weinan stared at them: "What? You dare to commit treason?"
The two of them hurriedly said they didn't dare.
"Young Master, please don't make things difficult for us. Butler Cai said that you cannot leave this yard until the Young Madam arrives!" one of them said.
Jiang Weinan was furious when he heard this: "This old man! I'm going to pull out all his beard!"
He rolled up his sleeves and was about to leave the yard: "Can I go find that old slave?"
The two men stretched out their hands: "Manager Cai said that you can't leave the yard!"
Oh shit!
Jiang Weinan was furious!
Just to go out, the two looked at each other directly: "I'm sorry, Master!"
"How dare you..."
Jiang Weinan fainted again. In the last second before he fainted, he thought in his heart, don’t wait for him to get out, because when he gets out, I will definitely tear down this house for him!
The two men helped Jiang Weinan onto the couch.
Manager Cai came over to take a look. The two of them told each other what had happened. Manager Cai waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, it's okay! Go prepare some food for the young master. He'll be hungry when he wakes up!"
The two of them went there in a hurry.
At this time, other servants came to report that Jiang Huaian had also returned. Manager Cai hurriedly turned around to reply to Jiang Huaian.
