Chapter 651 - 345 Decided_2
Hua Xiaomai sneered, "Sister-in-law, what do you plan to do? They are the local big shots of Tong’an City. If we go knocking on their door to reason with them, can we expect anything good?"
Although very reluctant to admit it, there were some realities in front of her that could not be ignored.
"Are you stupid?" Chun Xi slammed the table. "I’m not asking you to go and risk your life! Song Jingxi doesn’t want you to attend the Eight Treasures Conference, it is clear that she feels threatened. She had wanted to poach Master Wang before, and now she’s tripping you up like this. If you have any spine, you should show your face at the Eight Treasures Conference! We don’t need to aim for anything else, just to intimidate her and press her down, to take a good breath!"
The others echoed in varying degrees of agreement, and the table became chaotic for a moment, until suddenly there was a loud "bang". A wine cup was smashed heavily onto the table.
Everyone looked around and saw Wang Zhanrui stand up abruptly.
The fellow, perhaps having had too much to drink, had eyes that were bloodshot, glaring at Hua Xiaomai and saying, "The Eight Treasures Conference is not to be missed, both in reason and sentiment. If you really don’t want to go, then let me take the name of Daoxiang Garden and see it through, how about that?"
Hua Xiaomai looked up at him, then turned back to see everyone at the table eagerly looking at her.
It was time for her to make a decision...
"Then we will go," she exhaled a long breath from deep within her chest, her voice not loud, but each word resounded with resolve. "Old Master Xue left his address with me the last time he was here. Qing You, you go to the Provincial City tomorrow, tell him that Daoxiang Garden has decided to participate in this year’s Eight Treasures Conference, and ask for all the details. As for the trivial matters, like how many people we’ll take and what dishes we plan to prepare, we’ll discuss it slowly after Qing You comes back."
