Chapter 719 Someone's Going to Get Into Bad Luck
"Yun'er, that's enough," Meng Qingge said coldly.
She didn't like her maid discussing business-related matters, and besides, Lin Ping had already helped her enough, so she didn't want to bother him any further.
As a strong-willed girl, how could she rely on a man for everything?
I must resolve this personally this time.
"Boss Guo? Is that Guo Hei who owns a thousand acres of vineyards?" Lin Ping asked curiously.
Yun'er dared not disobey Meng Qingge's orders, but she was really angry inside, so she nodded and said, "It's him. Yesterday, a bushel of grapes only sold for fifty coins, but today it's selling for one hundred and fifty coins. Isn't this blatant bullying of Miss?"
The little girl always puffs out her cheeks when she's angry, which is kind of cute.
Lin Ping smiled faintly at this and said, "Guo Hei, Guo Hei, I think you should be called Black Pot. You're taking the blame for others without even realizing it. Just wait until you're bankrupt!"
Even a fool could guess the whole story: someone from the Meng family leaked the information, and Guo Wengui seized the opportunity.
Lin Ping's criticism was directed at Meng Qingchao, but he didn't know whether there were middlemen making a profit.
Anyway, one thing is certain: Guo Wengui's critics are in trouble. Who told them to offend the main character?
"Guo Hei's sudden price increase must be due to some unexplained rumors, such as someone from the Meng family leaking information," Lin Ping said indirectly.
“How could the Meng family leak the information? I think Guo Hei saw a business opportunity and raised the price this time.” Meng Qingge still refused to believe that there was a traitor in the Meng family.
In Meng Qingge's view, the two simply had differing opinions, and both were doing it for the sake of the Meng family.
"After all, she's a woman; she can never see through the wickedness of people's hearts." Lin Ping shook his head, but didn't elaborate further.
"I can't rule out that possibility, but I think there's still room for maneuver. After all, Mr. Guo is a kind person, and maybe if we visit him a few more times, we can win him over." Lin Ping said no more, not wanting to interfere too much.
He saw Meng Qingge's strong-willed attitude and knew he should give her room to maneuver.
"Yes, Qingge thinks so too. I'll go take another look tomorrow," Meng Qingge said earnestly, clearly not wanting to miss the opportunity.
"Yun'er, come here." Meng Qingfan suddenly said with a gloomy face.
"What are your orders, young master?" Yun'er was terrified, her face turning pale. Meng Qingfan was no pushover; he was known for playing pranks on the servants.
"Come with me for a stroll. Do you intend to disturb my elder sister and brother-in-law?" Meng Qingfan said coldly.
"Brother-in-law? Where did this brother-in-law come from? How come Yun'er didn't know that Miss has a husband?" Yun'er was completely confused. She looked around with a bewildered gaze but still couldn't find him.
Meng Qingge's pretty face flushed slightly, and she naturally understood what Meng Qingfan meant.
"Miss, your face is red. Could it be that you have heatstroke?" As she spoke, Yun'er shivered. The weather was getting colder and colder. How could she possibly have heatstroke?
When she realized Lin Ping was right beside her, she suddenly covered her mouth, realizing she had said the wrong thing.
"Hurry up and let's go." Meng Qingfan was a little annoyed and pulled her little hand into the crowd.
A lone man and woman alone in a room committing adultery...
Uh...we've gone off-topic.
Just like this damn weather, the atmosphere was frighteningly cold.
Awkward conversation? Sorry, Master Xu is past the age of awkward conversations; now he uses tricks to win people's hearts.
"Look, a spaceship!"
"kindness?"
"Look at the clouds in the sky, don't they look like... the two hundred yuan you owe me?"
"what?"
In short, Lin Ping didn't think it was an awkward conversation.
After that day, Lin Ping's life was peaceful for a few days. Apart from going to give the old man acupuncture every now and then, he preferred to play pranks on Meng Qingfan.
The maidservants' undergarments were missing quite a few; I thought a lecherous thief had broken in.
For ten consecutive days, Meng Qingge went to Guo Hei to discuss business, hoping to move him.
She was too naive. When it comes to profit, there are no charitable bosses.
Want to buy grapes without raising prices? Unless they're sour!
That night, Meng Qingge felt a chill and kept sneezing, clearly having caught a cold on her way back from business.
It's strange, it's only been Mid-Autumn Festival, but the weather is already freezing cold.
"Hmph, it's all Young Master Lin's fault! If he hadn't said that Boss Guo was a kind person, why would Miss have gone to him to discuss business time and time again? Losing face is a small matter, but getting hurt is a big deal." Yun'er said angrily, and was about to go and argue with Lin Ping.
"Enough! You mustn't speak ill of Young Master Bie Lin behind his back," Meng Qingge said sternly.
Meng Qingge disliked gossipy maids, and besides, Lin Ping was her nominal fiancé, so she couldn't let a maid criticize her.
If Yun'er hadn't followed her for many years and been considered loyal, she would have certainly been punished.
Yun'er was so upset that she burst into tears; she felt sorry for Meng Qingge.
Other people's daughters are all pampered and precious, never leaving their homes. Why is it that her daughter is made of iron, not only busy with various tasks, but also having to humbly negotiate business deals with others?
"If you feel cold, drink this bowl of herbal medicine. It's a folk remedy from my hometown. Although it's not as good as a famous doctor's prescription, it can still keep you warm." Lin Ping happened to bring over a bowl of herbal soup.
How could he not know that it was eerily cold tonight, and that Meng Qingge, with her frail body, was very likely to catch a cold?
As for this so-called "folk remedy," it is actually an excellent prescription for treating colds. Not to mention ordinary doctors, even the best imperial physicians of the Daye Dynasty could only look up to it.
Meng Qingge was curious about Lin Ping's hometown, so she drank the hot medicine soup while it was still hot. Immediately, a warm feeling filled her whole body, and most of her cold symptoms disappeared.
"I heard that Mr. Guo has been moved by Miss Meng. If he goes again tomorrow, he will definitely be able to buy the grapes at a low price," Lin Ping said casually, without explaining the source of the information.
"Don't think my young lady will believe you. If what you said were true, why would you have made her go ten times?" Yun'er said angrily.
Lin Ping glanced at Yun'er, then stared at Meng Qingge for a while, thinking to himself, "This girl is quite loyal, but she's a bit... clumsy. She'll probably be punished."
As Lin Ping expected, Meng Qingge's expression turned cold, and she said sternly, "Yun'er, kneel down!"
The little girl knelt down in front of Lin Ping, pouting, looking quite cute.
"Don't worry, Young Master Lin, I will definitely go and ask Boss Guo for help again tomorrow," Meng Qingge said solemnly.
"Ask him? I'm afraid he can't handle it." Lin Ping's lips curled up slightly, but he didn't say anything.
After going outside, he looked at the moon, which was obscured by dark clouds, and involuntarily shivered.
This damn weather, is it going to snow?
"Boss, can you really take the blame for this pot that fell from the sky?" Lin Ping's cold eyes were full of sympathy. Harming people was not his intention. What he wanted was... Guo Hei's life!
