Chapter 258: Jiang Man is Jin Ye’s foster daughter, right?
Parna, upon hearing this, was taken aback for a moment before bursting into raucous laughter, "Young Master Lu really knows how to joke. What sort of person are you? How could a wedding ever take place so silently?"
"If Young Master Lu isn’t fond of my daughter Shaye, you can simply say so. There’s no need to find such a high-sounding excuse to fob me off!"
The atmosphere suddenly became awkward.
A second ago, Parna’s smile was still hanging on the corner of his mouth, but the next second his expression turned serious, his complexion darkened instantaneously, black as the bottom of a pot.
Jiang Man realized what was happening.
No wonder there was a family banquet tonight; it turned out that Parna wanted to mix business with a marriage alliance.
After all, the global tin market is currently on the rise in prices, and if Parna is willing to sell the ore to the Lu family at a low price, there’s no way he intended to make a losing deal.
Having his daughter become Mrs. Lu would be an immensely profitable affair.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Wu Yingfan quickly stepped in as a mediator, "Uncle Parna, you’re pushing too hard. Who starts talking about marriage right off the bat? Aren’t we here to talk business tonight?"
"It’s business as well as marriage," Parna no longer pretended, "Let me be frank, if the Lu family wants to get the ore at an ultra-low price and aims for a long-term partnership, then marriage is the only option. I won’t do a losing business."
