Chapter 700 - 698: Isn’t It Usually a Call to the Parents?
Jinrong and Ye Xinyan settled down in the Duke’s Mansion’s reception room, accompanied by Han Yanhui, Han Jun, and Han Yufang.
Ye Xinyan was reluctant to stay longer at the Han Mansion because she brought Qi Jiaer and the others with her, not wanting them to overhear her leveraging the situation to extort money, which would tarnish her shining image as an elder sister.
She had considered not bringing them along, but without their presence, how could she expect Han Yanhui, Han Jun, and the others to truly understand the situation? Without that direct impression, they wouldn’t feel at fault and would have no idea how despicable it was for the Miss Han and her guards to have the audacity to strike children of seven or eight years old.
Now that she was alone at the Han Mansion, with Jinrong also present, she was in no hurry. Whoever spoke first would show impatience, and the following negotiations would become unfavorable.
Ye Xinyan slowly sipped her tea, listening to Jinrong, Han Yanhui, and Han Jun exchange pleasantries and lavish praise on one another.
However, after she had already drunk two cups of tea and these people still had not touched upon the main issue,... she was known for drinking her tea very, very slowly.
While she had resolved not to give the Han Family the impression she couldn’t keep her cool, their small talk was becoming excessively protracted, wasn’t it? People say that only gossipy women possess such tenacity in rambling on—how could it be that a prince and the prime minister are also so adept at chewing the fat?
How long do you plan to drag this out? Ye Xinyan looked at Jinrong with suspicion. She began to suspect that now Jinrong had found a wife, he had forgotten his... "sworn brother"? Was it possible he had forgotten that she was still doing him a favor, trying to earn Silver for him?
