Chapter 487 - 484: Suitable_1
Xiliang’s business was just beginning to take off under Xiao Rongyan’s management; however, it posed no significant challenge for him.
More importantly, Xiao Rongyan had spread his shops across the Jin Kingdom, transporting goods to other countries and returning with unique items from abroad, ensuring profitability in both directions.
Xiao Rongyan sincerely detailed his business to Mrs. Dong, to which she smiled and replied, "Mr. Xiao’s business ventures across various nations indeed make sense!"
Having said enough, Xiao Rongyan stood to take his leave, gave a deep bow toward Bai Qingyan in a show of formality, and said, "The eradication of bandits benefits the people and us merchants. If Miss Bai needs any assistance, do not hesitate to ask. I will do my utmost to help."
Bai Qingyan nodded and instructed Lu Ping to see Xiao Rongyan out.
Mrs. Dong watched Xiao Rongyan’s tall, upright figure and couldn’t help but feel it was a pity he was a merchant.
In terms of bearing and appearance, Mrs. Dong believed very few could compare to Xiao Rongyan. Were he not a merchant, numerous noble families would likely be eager to marry their daughters to such a man.
Mrs. Dong considered testing whether Xiao Rongyan was willing to marry into the Bai family. Still, she hesitated, knowing her daughter’s mind was not on marriage and that her fertility prospects were slim, fearing it would delay Xiao Rongyan.
Putting down the teacup, Mrs. Dong noticed Bai Qingyan deep in thought and tentatively asked, "Kid, what do you think of this Xiao Rongyan?"
"Mother, I have some matters to attend to. I will join you for dinner tonight," Bai Qingyan said, bowing to Mrs. Dong before hurriedly leaving the main hall with Chun Tao and calling for Lu Ping to walk with her.
