Lian Luoqiu clenched her teeth as she sat for half an hour without being able to meet Cai Yixue. Not to mention, no one even asked her for a cup of water.
' That bitch...She is doing this purposely.' Lian Luoqiu bit her lips as she tried to calm down herself.
Suddenly, the door opened as Cai Yixue walked out. She wore a white dress with blue dove patterns on the ridges, With her white hairpin and stoic calmness, she was like a white lotus emerging from a clear pond.
" I hope I didn't take much time." Cai Yixue spoke with a light smile. " In fact, My husband and I were having breakfast and our usual morning romance."
" You know, marriage has its own...responsibility. But then, you might not know."
" Hoho, How could I?" Lian Luoqiu gave a forced smile. " Miss Cai must have already tasted the pleasure of martial bed. Unlike you, I am still a young bud of flower, waiting for bloom."
" But, I guess your husband is pretty romantic, visiting Phoenix Cloud Pavilion now and then."
Cai Yixue's face twitched when she saw the smug look on Lian Luoqiu's lips.
' This bitch, she knows I didn't sleep with Jia Hao yet?'
' How could I know? Cai Yixue is like a cold block of ice. She will never lay with a man.' Lian Luoqiu snorted inwardly.
" So, Miss Lian, How come you are here, in such early morning?" Cai Yixue spoke before her eyebrows jumped up. " Ah, Could it be regarding the fire incident in Niu Family's warehouse?"
" Well, It looks like Miss Cai is very well informed." Lian Luoqiu'sface twitched. " And yes, The silk the three parties had gathered has...burnt in the fire."
" How awful. My condolences." Cai Yixue spoke with a mild voice. " So, What can I do for you?"
" How about...Selling the remaining silk cocoons and cotton to us?" Lian Luoqiu spoke with a smile. " Since we have a shortage of silk, we shall pay you the usual market value of the remaining goods."
" Oh my, Is that true?" Cai Yixue was surprised.
" Indeed, We are also going to pay you an extra 10% of the total profit." Lian Luoqiu explained. " So, in the end, Cai Family would profit in the end."
" So, from loss to profit, huh?" Cai Yixue sighed. " Unfortunately, we don't have much stocks remaining. So, We have to negotiate on the price."
" Miss Cai, the initial price we gave was 100 taels of gold per three liangs of silk. And now, we are giving the usual 400 taels of gold."
" But we don't want it." Cai Yixue looked at her. " The new price is, A thousand taels of gold per three liangs of silk."
Not to mention, as she bowed, the cleavage gave a nice view of her dark ravine.
' Damn, Did she come here to seduce me or what?' Jia Hao couldn't help but snort.
Seeing Jia Hao's gaze, Lian Luoqiu's lips curled up. ' Hmph, I knew it.'
" Young Lord Jia, Our Silkward Chamber is in quite a predicament. You already know about our loss. So, We are thinking of buying your silk with five hundred taels..."
" Minmin!"
Jia Hao shouted, cutting off Lian Luoqiu. Minmin arrived as she bowed. " Yes, Young Lord?"
" Where is your manners?" Jia Hao scolded her. " A guest is sitting here, and you didn't bring any tea?"
" I am sorry, Young Lord. I shall go and fetch some tea." Minmin bowed as she hurried to bring back some tea.
Lian Luoqiu felt a bit awkward when Jia Hao cut his sentence. " Thank you for the consideration, Young Lord Jia."
" So, How much price are you giving?"
" I think it's...Six hundred taels...Yes. Six hundred taels per three liang..."
At that moment, Minmin brought tea and placed it on the table.
" So, Young Lord Jia, Six hundred taels..."
" Minmin!" Jia Hao shouted again. " You only brought tea? Where are the snacks?"
" I am sorry, Young Lord. I shall bring them right away..."
Lian Luoqiu's heart turned cold as she looked at Jia Hao with a cold gaze.
" So, Miss Lian, you were saying..."
" I was saying, What's the price you want?"
" Uhm, Let me guess." Jia Hao thought for a moment before smiling. " How about a thousand taels of gold per three liang of silk?"
