Chapter 4: The Two-Year Covenant
"Seventh Young Master, the old man looks at the face of the Lin family and gives you two choices, how to choose is up to you!"
Lin Chao looked at Qiao Zhong expressionlessly, didn't say a word, calmly and patiently waited for his next words.
For Lin Chao, who seemed unfazed on the surface, it was Qiao Zhong who was surprised, where did Lin Chao's reaction look like a ten-year-old child could show?
At the same time, Lin Zun, Joey and others also had a different feeling about Lin Chao in their own hearts, especially for Joey, who had a completely different feeling from Lin Chao who was in the state of a cynical ruffian before, and the word "variety" immediately appeared in Joey's heart, and he couldn't help but sneak in the direction he was again.
Seeing that Lin Chao didn't answer his words, Qiao Zhong coughed a few times, as if to alleviate the embarrassing atmosphere, and then continued to preach by himself: "The first choice is that the fifth young master and Yi'er get married, but it must be that the fifth young master joins my Qiao family, and in the future, he is only allowed to run my Qiao family's business, of course, the surname should also be changed to Qiao, in addition, the Lin family will rent out the Lin family's shop as a dowry, and temporarily hand it over to the Qiao family for safekeeping, and the lease period is set at 100 years, of course, the annual share will also be given to the Lin family, and the proportion will be calculated according to the Lin family's third and Qiao's seventh." ”
Hearing this, Lin Zun was already furious, and said in his heart Qiao Zhong, Qiao Zhong, you old fox, you finally showed your fox tail No, your tone is really not small, and I don't know if eating so much will kill you immediately. When Lin Zun was about to shoot the case, Lin Tao, who was sitting next to him, held his hand in his hand and signaled him to calm down, even so, the momentum emanating from Lin Zun's body was still rising, and the terrifying coercion spread little by little.
Seeing this, Qiao Zhong hurriedly released his momentum, enveloping the personnel on his side, and said with a smile, "Virtuous nephew, don't be angry, isn't there a second choice for this?" After speaking, he paused, cleared his throat and continued: "The second choice is: the seventh young master will abolish his arms in public, kneel down and kowtow to Yi'er to confess his guilt, the Lin family will give thirty percent of the shop to the Qiao family, and in addition, the Lin family will give the Qiao family 20 first-class spirit stones as compensation." ”
"Hahaha, what a lion opens his mouth, how can my Lin Zun's son be educated?" Anger, shame, yes, Lin Zun was already completely angry at this time, "Master Qiao, I am really full of sincerity, my Lin Zun is really taught, no wonder you are the same generation as my father, the final gap will be so big." Lin Zun was angry, but the more angry he was, the calmer he became, he never glanced at Qiao Zhong, his eyes were very deep, and he couldn't see a trace of murderous aura, compared to the previous outburst of momentum, it was like two people.
Without waiting for Qiao Zhong to speak, Lin Zun continued to take care of himself, "Master Qiao, when the real king eats the scales—he is iron-hearted, and he wants to oppose our Lin family?
"Master Lin, what you said is serious. Qiao Zhong hurriedly took over, "Don't worry about the head of the Lin family, what the old man said just now is clear enough, you can choose one of the two." We are a second-level family, yes, if it weren't for your Lin family saying that we were going to come to propose marriage, our Qiao family wouldn't have so many things, I want to know why we asked you to wait at the door for so long? Compared to those families, our only and best choice is to have a bad relationship with your Lin family. ”
Qiao Zhong finished these words emotionally, at this time he leaned completely against the back of the chair, he took a sip of the tea beside him, and continued: "Do you know why we went out to invite you in again? Your Lin family is the most righteous, and the integrity is also the best in this Linbin City, so I want to choose you after thinking about it, but all this requires a premise, that is, you must have the ability to protect my family." ”
As for Yi'er, it was indeed an accident, she didn't know about these things at all, but she only went out angrily when she heard the Seventh Young Master slamming the door. But this appearance of the Seventh Young Master really hurt the face of my family's Yi'er, how will she meet people after she is still the eldest daughter, and how will she gain a foothold in this Linbin City? I know that the strength of our Qiao family is far inferior to your Lin family, but our Qiao family is all hard bones, and we would rather be broken than broken! Maybe we can't leave all of you today, but we can definitely ask you to leave something here. In one go, everything was put in the open, which also made Qiao Zhong's pressure greatly reduced, and after he finished speaking, he was not in a hurry, and completely handed over the initiative to the Lin family.
Lin Zun was also quieter at this time, and he could find the best solution only when he was calm. "Master Qiao, can you give our master a little time to discuss this matter?" The first person to speak to break the silence turned out to be Lin Chao, the initiator.
"Okay, next to the side hall, we'll wait for you here. Qiao Zhong said generously.
When he came to the side hall, Lin Chao knelt down facing Lin Zun, "Daddy, this time it's all my fault, so that they have a chance." ”
"Get up quickly, why is there no word for the sin you want to add?"
"Dad, I have a plan, but Daddy needs to have absolute confidence in me. ”
"Tell me about it. ”
......
After a stick of incense, Lin Zun and the three returned to the reception hall and sat back in their respective positions in turn.
Lin Zun nodded towards Lin Chao and motioned for him to elaborate.
"Master Qiao, I am the initiator, so let me negotiate on behalf of our Lin family. Lin Chao stated to Qiao Zhong without being humble or arrogant, "We have combined the two choices you said, my fifth brother is still married to Miss Qiao; we will lease the Sancheng family shop to the Qiao family, but it must be managed by my fifth brother, and in the future, their children can continue to run it, except for dividing it into two families and half, the rest will be carried out according to what the Qiao family master just said; within two years, we will gather 20 first-class spirit stones as a dowry; in addition, we will add one more item, our Lin family will unconditionally protect your Qiao family." This is our promise, I don't know what the Qiao family thinks?"
Qiao Zhong is a cheerful person, when he heard the Lin family's arrangement, he felt that the Lin family was still very sincere, the only thing that he couldn't rest assured about was the 20 first-class spirit stones, the Lin family gradually declined, you can buy at most 5 in a year, 20 in two years is really a fool's dream, he organized the language and said: "I am very confident in the commitment of the Lin family, but only the 20 spirit stones, you must know ......"
"Don't worry, the head of the Qiao family, I know we say this, you think it's like a dream, in order to show our sincerity, my fifth brother will come to you again tomorrow with the information of the thirty percent store. To put it mildly, two years later, I came here with 20 first-grade spirit stones to exchange for my fifth brother, but in the past two years, you must ensure that my brother eats and drinks spicy food, and if he loses even a little weight, I will not let you go. Lin Chao looked at Qiao Zhong with a firm gaze.
"Okay, that's ......" Qiao Zhong saw that the junior Lin Chao was so happy, and he had nothing to worry about. And just as it was about to be decided, a discordant voice came out, it was a sweet voice, it was none other than the heroine of this matter - Joey, "Grandpa is slow, can you change one." ”
Hearing this, Lin Zun and the three couldn't help but be stunned in their hearts, do they want to make extraneous branches?
"Grandpa, it was Lin Chao who bullied me, why didn't he marry me, but asked Lin Tao to marry me? I'm afraid this is unreasonable. Although Joey's voice was sweet and beautiful, the gaze cast was the same as Lin Chao's before, full of perseverance.
It's weird, where did these juniors learn this, they are younger than they are, but this kind of look really doesn't allow you not to agree, Qiao Zhong smiled bitterly in his heart. "What Yi'er said does make sense, the Seventh Young Master might as well replace the Fifth Young Master with you. ”
The black line, it's still the black line, all the scripts today should be around my fifth brother, and it has nothing to do with my half a dime, and if I change it, who will complete the money of 20 first-class spirit stones in those two years, this stinky girl, it's a mess, the script can't be like this. At this time, Lin Chao's heart was like an ant on a hot pot, and he was very anxious.
Seeing Lin Chao deep in thought, Joey on the opposite side stuck out his tongue at Lin Chao, made a grimace, and made a gesture of victory. Lin Chao secretly scolded in his heart, this crazy woman, hurting others and not benefiting herself, took herself in, and she didn't know it at all, she only did it for a while. Of course, whether it was quick or not is something that only Joey himself can know.
"Haha, this proposal is very good," Lin Zun finally spoke, but it didn't sound right, is this optimistic about Lin Chao and Joey's marriage? Obviously not, because he still has a later word, "Master Qiao, we are only 10 years old for seven years, and now we are just a little hairy child, it is still too early to get married, I think it is better for us to discuss it in two years, do you see if it is okay? ”
"Your seventh young master is not small, not small, the right age, our Yi'er is exactly 13 years old, just the so-called female junior holding gold bricks, just right, just right. Qiao Zhong was very proud when he mentioned his baby granddaughter, especially her marriage, he was more cautious. You must know that when she was asked to marry Lin Tao, she actually threatened her with death, saying that if she looked at it, she could do it, and if she couldn't look at it, she wouldn't marry if she didn't see it, and now her baby granddaughter took the initiative to ask to marry Lin Chao, which she never expected. So as soon as the granddaughter speaks, can she not do her best to fulfill it?
"Thank you for the appreciation of the head of the Qiao family and Miss Qiao, I am only ten years old, I have not triggered the spirit, let alone participated in the opening ceremony, I am a powerless person, I am not qualified to protect Miss Qiao, I understand your good intentions, so please also give me two years to practice hard, if I am that material, I will definitely propose marriage in two years." "Lin Chao's tactic of delaying the army is not bad, but by the way, Qiao Zhong, the old fox, still said that it can work?
Without waiting for Qiao Zhong to speak, Qiao Yi preemptively said, "Grandpa, what Young Master Lin Qi said seems to make sense. ”
Hey, this stinky girl suddenly got her senses? Lin Chao thought, shouldn't she, does she still have a plan?
"Grandpa, my granddaughter is indeed older, and I am not staying, I am willing to follow Qishao to the Lin family to be a child daughter-in-law of Qishao, I believe that this kind of thing will be cultivated slowly. Of course, at the same time, it can also reassure the head of the Lin family that the fifth young master has been safe in our family for the past two years, isn't it?" As soon as Joey's words came out, everyone was speechless.
Even if Lin Chao didn't refute it, after all, in this way, it was like the two families exchanged hostages with Lin Tao and Joey, and they had the greatest peace of mind about the safety of their own people, so the two families hit it off and made this two-year contract.
Of course, the most depressed person in the whole thing is Lin Chao, not one of them, because he inexplicably got a fiancée and child daughter-in-law - Joey.
