Chapter 695 Serving Tea and Water
This slap completely stunned Meng Qingchao. He never expected that the submissive little brat would dare to lay a hand on him.
Not only him, but all the relatives were also surprised that Meng Qingfan had such courage.
"If you say another bad word about my elder sister, I'll tear your mouth apart." Before Meng Qingchao could react, Meng Qingfan glared at him and said.
Although Meng Qingchao insulted Meng Qingge first, he shouldn't have been slapped, let alone by a little kid.
However, just as he was about to get angry, he suddenly felt a pair of murderous eyes pressing down on him, making it hard for him to breathe, and even his expression became somewhat disordered.
"Fan'er, don't be rude." Huang Jiayu took the opportunity to pull him back, without scolding him too much.
If she weren't a woman, she would probably be the one to make the move.
They were too busy praising Meng Qingfan to blame him.
"Well done, Fan'er! Your mother will reward you with one tael of silver." Huang Jiayu gave Meng Qingfan a thumbs up in private.
One tael of silver was a huge fortune for Meng Qingfan, and he quickly stuffed it into his pocket.
“Tell your mother properly, where did you get the courage? Aren’t you afraid of being bitten back by Meng Qingchao?” Huang Jiayu pulled Meng Qingfan outside the door and asked.
"With Brother Wuqing here, what do I have to fear from him!" Meng Qingfan said smugly. Before he finished speaking, he suddenly covered his mouth with both hands, clearly not wanting to reveal that Lin Ping was a good fighter.
He originally called Lin Ping to beat people up, but who knew it would turn out like this, and the anger he had been suppressing finally erupted.
“Meng Qingchao was in the wrong this time and didn’t dare to argue with you, but he can’t be so reckless next time.” Huang Jiayu still had to criticize him.
Commendable courage, but lacking in wisdom.
If everything can be solved with fists, what's the point of having government officials?
Meng Qingfan stopped explaining and just chuckled to himself, saying, "Brother Wuqing's kingly gaze is no joke. This guy is lucky he didn't kowtow and worship."
Just when the atmosphere was at its most tense, Meng Qingge appeared, looking completely lost.
She still couldn't understand why Qingfeng Tower was helping her like this; it was no different from giving money away for free.
Han Jiji's reasoning was even more absurd: just because Lin Wuqing had an affair with the young master of Qingfeng Tower, he was supposed to spend 100,000 taels of silver?
Okay, she doesn't understand the ways of the entertainment industry.
"Meng Qingge, how dare you come back? Quickly hand over your assets and never set foot in the old house again!" Meng Qingchao said angrily, still furious.
Only half an hour has passed; even discussing cooperation directly wouldn't be this quick.
Meng Qingchao was certain that she had met with a rebuff, and that her situation was even worse than Su Qingya's.
"Oh? Isn't this Miss Meng? I didn't expect you to get the contract so quickly? Why don't you show it to us?" Su Qingya said sarcastically.
"Qingya, don't flatter her. It's only been half an hour. How could she possibly have obtained the contract?"
"Hmph, they fled in disarray after only half an hour, and they dare to claim they've done their utmost for the Meng family? Bah!"
"Meng Qingge, if you have any shame, hurry up and hand over your assets. Maybe Qingchao will take pity on you and give you a job."
A group of relatives launched into a tirade, practically spitting phlegm at her.
"Since they want it, why not give it to them?" Lin Ping said with a smile.
The events of just now had a profound impact on Meng Qingge, leaving her in a semi-dazed state until Lin Ping's voice woke her up.
She glanced at Lin Ping sideways, then quickly looked away.
"What kind of look is that? Disdain? Sympathy? Surprise?" Lin Ping asked three questions in a row, unable to figure out what Meng Qingge was thinking.
She eventually laid out the contract, though she still looked somewhat disappointed.
Everyone immediately shut their mouths, staring in astonishment at the contract stamped with a red seal, their eyes nearly popping out of their sockets.
"Hmph, I don't believe you can sign a contract with Qingfeng Tower." Meng Qingchao snatched the contract and said loudly with disdain, "Ten thousand jars of wine? Meng Qingge, are you treating us like fools? Don't you know what ten thousand jars of wine means?"
“Grandma, come and see. Even now, Meng Qingge is still trying to mislead everyone. She really has ulterior motives,” Su Qingya chimed in.
Let alone using normal thinking, even a child would know that this is impossible.
"Are you an idiot? How could the seal of Qingfeng Tower be fake?"
Sorry, Lin Ping couldn't help but curse out loud, it has little to do with the author.
It's really laughable, even with the contract in his hand, Meng Qingchao still thought it was fake.
The old lady took two steps forward, her cloudy eyes fixed on the contract, a slight ripple appearing on her face.
One hundred thousand jars of wine means that the Meng family can solidify its position as a second-rate family, or even join the ranks of a first-rate family.
Buying a house in Da Shi Yong Fang would be a great honor for one's ancestors.
"This is actually true?" The old lady held the contract in both hands, not allowing Meng Qingchao's dirty hands to touch it.
"This 10,000 taels of silver is a deposit from Qingfeng Tower." Meng Qingge honestly took out a silver note.
Despite Meng Qingchao's indifference to contracts, he was absolutely enamored with the silver notes, snatching them away like a mangy dog pouncing on its prey.
"I'm in charge of the Meng family's accounts, so I'll take this ten thousand taels of silver first," Meng Qingchao said, wagging his tail, showing no sense of propriety or shame.
"Meng Qingchao, this deposit is for brewing wine!" Meng Qingge was furious.
How could she not know Meng Qingchao's character?
Once ten thousand taels of silver are in your pocket, you'll likely never be able to get it out again.
Just as she was about to get angry, a pair of large hands grabbed her arm from behind and shook their heads slightly.
At that moment, Meng Qingge felt an unprecedented sense of security, and in an instant, she was willing to entrust everything to this man.
"Meng Qingchao, don't forget your previous bet! Why aren't you serving tea and water to the people in the east wing?" Lin Ping shouted.
“You, you…” Meng Qingchao’s face turned ashen with anger.
He's the eldest grandson of the Meng family, while Lin Ping is just a poor boy. What right does he have to boss him around?
"What do you mean, 'what do you mean'? Why aren't you serving the tea?" Meng Qingfan walked over with a delighted expression, naturally determined to get back all the grievances he had suffered earlier.
"Qingchao, serve them tea," the old lady said with a stern face. Faced with huge profits, she didn't care about Meng Qingchao's reputation.
Since Meng Qingge was able to accomplish this, it proves that she is quite capable. Naturally, she should be kept around to serve the Meng family. How could we refuse her request?
Meng Qingchao gritted his teeth and reluctantly placed a cup of fresh tea on the table.
Seeing his ashen face, Meng Qingfan felt an indescribable sense of satisfaction. He took a small sip, and his facial features immediately contorted.
puff!
The tea was sprayed out and landed right on Meng Qingchao.
"Meng Qingchao, what do you take me for? You're trying to fool us with this cheap tea? Even pigs wouldn't drink it!" Meng Qingfan said sarcastically. "I've heard you're an expert in tea ceremony, so why don't you show us?"
