Chapter 461 She’s Just a Pastry Seller (4)_1
Lin Ershuan brightened up the moment Lin Yuan walked in; the sense of groundless crisis in his heart dissipated significantly. As long as Lin Yuan was there, he felt much more at ease.
Seeing Lin Ershuan take his seat, Lin Yuan sent him a reassuring look and also exchanged a glance with Jin Yuyu, who sat opposite her.
With a sweep of her peripheral vision, she caught sight of the Eldest Jin Family, Jin Xufa, seated at the head. He was still bowing his head, fiddling with the inkstone in his hands, a plain and unadorned inkstone which seemed to blossom under his touch, and he appeared loath to put it down no matter how he looked at it.
Lin Yuan let out a slight sigh. No wonder the Second Oldest Jin was filled with ambition, the eldest one was really too feeble to rely on.
Jin Xucai, a cunning individual, immediately knew from Lin Yuan’s expression that she was utterly disappointed with the eldest. Thereupon, he greeted her with a beaming smile and a fist and palm salute, "I’ve long heard of the renowned Owner of Fuman Building, and today, upon meeting you, Jin is truly amazed. Who would have thought that the famed owner is but a young lady. Truly embarrassing, so embarrassing indeed."
Lin Yuan had little liking for the Second Miss Jin and responded by simply curling her lips without saying a word.
Shopkeeper Liu read the room and said, "The Old Second Master Jin is too kind. Our boss has only taken over Fuman Building for less than a month; there’s no talk of any great renown."
Jin Xucai’s attempt at flattery backfired, leaving his face a mix of red and white as he chuckled dryly and reseated himself in his chair.
