Chapter 474 - 218: Neither Arrogant nor Provocative! No Measurement, No Tailoring!_2
She was definitely on Su Qifang’s side. Even though the Wei Family was now very large and seemed very well-behaved, the Wei Family was still the Wei Family, not a place she could stay. So having the chance to despise such a big family was a very delightful thing indeed.
Su Qifang glanced quietly at the little maid and slowly said, "Indeed, just as you said, our simple business talks have fallen apart. He hasn’t purchased any silks or fabrics from us..."
The little maid was instantly more satisfied, thinking: See, I knew my guess was correct. After all, I’ve been serving my master for so many years. I’m pretty good at judging people. If this young man becomes a guild leader, how weak the surrounding families must be. Such a business association is just laughable in the end.
Then Su Qifang continued with a statement: "But others want to directly take over our family."
Little maid: "?"
She was utterly confused. What did it mean that basic business couldn’t be done, but others wanted to take over their family directly? Isn’t this like someone going to a brothel to take care of business, ending up not having any ladies come around for business, and instead just buying the whole building?
Wow, are they that extravagant? Or just plain foolish?
"Is he simple-minded..."
"Shh!"
When the little maid was about to utter a few stubborn words, Su Qifang quickly covered her mouth and then awkwardly looked at the Wei Family’s guards nearby. Then they promptly left the Wei Family and, with the help of their own escorts, rapidly departed Xufu Town in the carriage.
After completely leaving Xufu Town, Su Qifang finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Inside the carriage.
Su Qifang wiped the sweat from her forehead and leaned against the edge of the carriage’s cabin. The carriage was trembling, and she felt a bit tingly. She said to the little maid beside her, "You were looking for trouble just now. On someone else’s turf, you went straight to insulting their boss. That’s like standing in the court and openly insulting the Emperor."
"This... this can’t blame me, Miss. It’s mainly because that guild leader is too utterly exaggerated, right? He can’t even afford our family’s regular clothes, and suddenly he wants to buy our whole family. How is such a thing possible!"
"Besides, even if he has money, our Patriarch would never sell off our family, painstakingly built from scratch. How could such a thing happen?"
"At most, his business guild is just an ordinary people’s guild, such a guild doesn’t deserve to have us."
The little maid and Su Qifang had a very good relationship. In Xufu Town, she dared not speak, but once out, she started venting. No matter what, she would never believe someone could have the power to acquire their guild!
Ha, business in this world isn’t governed merely by money. Even if you pay, I wouldn’t want to sell!
Su Qifang could understand what her little maid was saying, because although she didn’t say it directly, her thoughts were the same as the little maid’s. In her eyes, although their family’s scale couldn’t match the guild, and the annual earnings couldn’t be compared, so what?
It didn’t prevent their family from being a very noble presence. If you think you can just buy them by throwing money, their family really didn’t lack cash, didn’t need any help either, and they surely wouldn’t fear a mere guild.
It’s truly like a toad trying to eat swan meat. After getting a bit of money, did they think they could act recklessly? Not going to happen, their family would definitely not be acquired by Yuchi, they had no interest in wealth!
"Alright, let’s not talk about these things for now. We’ll just inform the Patriarch about it. I’m sure the Patriarch can handle this. After all, our family knows many big figures, and the City Lord of Jiangzhou City is also our Patriarch’s distant cousin!"
"Could we really not surpass this guild and be subdued by such a guild?"
"No, our family is unbeatable!"
"Yes! That tiny Yuchi couldn’t possibly acquire our family!"
The two conversed back and forth, saying whatever made them happy, laughing all the way. The carriage initially had a serious and tense atmosphere, but at some point, it became filled with joy.
The coachman heard the commotion inside the carriage, pricked up his ears, and sighed helplessly: "Even at a time like this, they’re joking and having fun. No wonder their relationship is so good."
"Absolutely mischievous."
...
Inside the Wei Family, Wei Zhe looked at his leisurely tea-sipping third brother, curious about the final outcome of this matter. Initially thinking Yuchi might spend a lot of money buying a batch of materials directly, but upon hearing that Yuchi wanted to buy the other family, he was instantly speechless.
"Sanlang, the weather hasn’t fully warmed up yet. There’s still quite a bit of snow, and even tonight there’ll be a small snowfall, so it’s downright chilly. Let’s not crack cold jokes..."
