Lin Xinran had a panoramic view of their reactions, and felt only infinite ridicule for their aggressiveness.
Not far away, a figure walked slowly towards him. He stood tall and straight, held his head high, and had a calm and unhurried temperament about him.
He frowned slightly when he saw the people surrounding the Lin family memorial arch, seeming to be very dissatisfied with their behavior, even angry.
"What are you doing? Why are you all gathered here!"
As he spoke, people had already squeezed into the crowd. These businessmen obviously knew him, the son of the city lord. When he squeezed in, they had consciously separated a path, allowing him to reach Lin Xinran smoothly.
"Xinran, it seems you are in some kind of trouble?"
His voice was gentle and there was a light smile on his face, which made people feel like spring breeze.
If Lin Xinran had not found out from Meng Chen that he had instructed the major families to put pressure on the Lin family, she might have developed a good impression of him.
Now it seems that everything is just a disguise. What a hypocritical man he is!
Recalling my previous thoughts, marrying him to protect the Lin family was so ridiculous! Based on what Zhao Qian is doing now, after marrying him, let alone preserving the Lin family, it is estimated that the entire Lin family will become his bag.
Lin Xinran smiled politely: "We did encounter some trouble, but it has been resolved. Thank you Mr. Zhao for your kindness!"
The expression on Zhao Qian's face was stiff for a moment, but he quickly adjusted it back.
He smiled: "I see, then Xinran, tell me if you encounter anything, and I will definitely help you within my ability."
When he said this, his eyes fell on Meng Chen and Huang Wujin next to him. Huang Wujin wore a white mask on his face, with an arrogant and indifferent attitude, while Meng Chen looked directly at him.
Zhao Qian was probably possessive and had a vague hostility towards Meng Chen, the man standing next to Lin Xinran.
Lin Xinran smiled: "Well, that's natural. Now the matter has been resolved for the time being. The little girl still has something to do, so she left first."
She didn't want to get too involved with Zhao Qian now. Zhao Qian's expression froze, but he quickly returned to normal.
"Okay, then Xinran, go and get busy!"
Lin Xinran left first, followed closely by Meng Chen and Huang Wujin.
Zhao Qian looked at the backs of the three people leaving, his eyes dark and unclear, obviously suppressing his anger.
The businessmen stood there, not daring to leave.
When Zhao Qian saw them, he was a little angry: "What are you still doing here? Get out of here!"
These businessmen left quickly, secretly cursing in their hearts. Zhao Qian obviously disliked their inability to do things well! However, everyone has promised to hand over the elixir by then, so what can I do?
To blame, I can only blame him for showing up too early and being too impatient!
After they left, Zhao Qian slowly withdrew his gaze, but his expression was a little cold.
Behind him, a young man whispered: "Master, the Lin family doesn't even have an alchemy master. If the Lin family can't get the elixir in three days, they will still be defeated. Let's just wait for another three days."
< br>
Another boy also whispered: "Yes! The delivery date of the contract signed by these merchants and the Lin family is in three days. We are a little anxious to come in."
Zhao Qian's eyes were slightly cold: "In three days... Okay! Then give them three more days!"
They were very sure about the Lin family's inability to hand over the elixir. After all, all the famous alchemists in Weiyuan City had been bribed by major families under his instructions. It was absolutely impossible for them to help the Lin family regardless of life and death. .
They were very confident and Shi Ran left.
Three days passed quickly. During these three days, all the major families were staring at the Lin family, but the Lin family was extremely calm.
He didn't rush around to find alchemists in a panic, nor did he buy elixirs from other channels. It was as if he had forgotten about the alchemy workshop.
The major families felt at ease and began to look more and more covetously at the Lin family. After this incident, the Lin family may collapse. Even if it does not collapse, there is a high probability that it will become a vassal of the city lord's palace.
In this process, a lot of benefits will flow out, and this is what they want!
In the early morning of the third day, Meng Chen heard shouts outside Lin's mansion very early.
"Xinran! Please, see me!"
"Xinran! I have heard everything, and I am willing to face it with you! Please, see me!"
……
His shouts were continuous and disturbed Meng Chen's sleep. Huang Wujin in his arms also woke up faintly. He gently stroked Meng Chen's face with one hand and met Meng Chen's eyes, which was quite flirtatious. Feel.
"That idiot, I'll go out and fight him. You can sleep a little longer." Meng Chen said softly.
He found that Huang Wujin seemed to be particularly lethargic, and every time she fell asleep, she slept very deeply, as if she hadn't slept in hundreds of years.
Early in the morning, Guo Huaien shouted outside the door, disturbing his dream. Meng Chen could choose to endure it, but Huang Wujin was woken up, which made him very unhappy.
Meng Chen washed up casually, flew up in the air, and reached the courtyard wall in a few moves. When he saw Guo Huaien who was still shouting outside, he threw out the bricks he picked up from the road.
"Ouch!"
With a wailing sound, Guo Huaien was hit with a brick on his head.
I have to say that his head is quite strong, the skin is not broken, it is just a big swelling. Guo Huaien raised his eyes angrily and met Meng Chen's playful expression.
"It's you again! Who are you! Why are you at the Lin family?" He stared at Meng Chen angrily.
Meng Chen glanced at him disdainfully: "Can you care?"
"I...Xinran and I grew up together and are childhood sweethearts. You think I can't care less!"
Meng Chen laughed out loud: "Hahaha! What kind of stable relationship do childhood sweethearts have? How do you stand in charge of her?"
Guo Huai'en was speechless. After a moment, he said angrily: "I'm here to help her deal with the Danfang matter. For the sake of the Lin family, you can't stop me!"
Guo Huaien finally had some confidence. This was a real sacrifice. The Lin family couldn't just turn him away, right?
He stared at Meng Chen, but found that the smile on the other man's face became brighter and brighter, with sarcasm and disdain. His eyes were like looking at a fool!
Guo Huaien was furious: "What do you mean? Come out quickly, she will definitely want to see me!"
Meng Chen said disdainfully: "Meet you? Why do I need to see you!"
Guo Huaien said confidently: "Of course it's because I can help the Lin family overcome these difficulties!"
Meng Chen's expression turned cold, he stared at him and said coldly: "Can you still be your Guo family?"
Guo Huaien was a little confused: "I...I am the Guo family!"
Meng Chen had a look of disdain on his face: "Can you represent the Guo family? If the Guo family is willing to help, why did you wait until now?"
