Chapter 1129 - 041 Starving!_2
"It appears to be the two sons of the Wu family, I’ve heard much about you." Xia Zheng responded perfunctorily, though his face showed not a hint of a smile.
Yet, even so, Wu Zhengqing wasn’t the least bit irritated. Although he had come to the Capital earlier this year, during his four months here, he had mostly heard about Xia Zheng of the General Mansion—everyone said he was proud and rude, hardly sociable. His friends in the Capital could be counted on one hand. Wu Zhengqing would have thought it suspicious if Xia Zheng had greeted him with a smile at their first meeting.
"I’ve long heard of Young Master Xia’s great reputation, but I never expected to encounter you here today, what fate," said Wu Zhengqing with a smiling face, although not overtly ingratiating, their mere presence there was flattery enough.
Inside the carriage, Lin Yuan, hearing the voice outside, couldn’t help but feign a gag and muttered softly, "Who knows if it’s really fate?"
Xia Zheng pinched the ticklish flesh around Lin Yuan’s waist, his expression still cold: "Yes, I’ve only returned to the Capital a few days ago, and yet I’ve heard the grandiose name of the Wu family of Jiangnan everywhere. If it were about fate, I suppose I should be the one to say so."
Xia Zheng was indeed truthful. Ever since the Wu family outshone the Chen family and acquired the reputation of Imperial Merchant, their fame had been rising daily in the Capital, even Xia Zheng who returned two months late heard about it all the time.
Wu Zhengqing gave a humble smile, wanting to continue the small talk, but Xia Zheng already showed no interest in prolonging their conversation, only saying, "Young Master Wu, I’m really sorry, but I must attend to some business in the Capital and cannot talk any longer, please forgive me."
"Since Young Master Xia has urgent matters, please feel free to leave; another day we can..."
Before Wu Zhengqing could finish speaking, Lin Yi shouted "Giddy up!" and drove the carriage away, leaving a cloud of choking dust behind.
