Chapter 1658: Chapter 942: Persuasion/Departure_2

"Qiu’er, why do you have to be everywhere?" Qu Yue looked at her helplessly, "Can’t you feel comfortable without making fun of someone?"

"That’s right, but it depends on who I’m making fun of."

"Do I have a grudge against you?"

"No grudge, but complaints. We all know each other, so why are you so dedicated to Luoluo?"

"Can I take it as, you’re jealous?"

"Dream on, I wouldn’t be jealous of you even if I wanted to be jealous."

"..."

Luo Ye, who had long been used to their bickering, didn’t bother with them and turned to walk ahead. Xing Nong quickly left Qu Yue behind and chased after her, "Wait."

"Luoluo..." Qu Yue also caught up, "I’ll go with you to see Grandma Hua and Grandpa Ji, and on the way, I’ll tell you about Li Xiaoyan."

"Hmph!" Xing Nong turned back and glared at him, "You can’t go, you never give in to me."

Qu Yue quickly apologized, "Alright, it was my fault, I’ll give in to you from now on. Actually, just now, I was looking for an excuse to join you."

"If you want to come with us, just say so, why be stubborn with me?"

"Saying it directly feels too formal, Luoluo would refuse me, wouldn’t that be embarrassing for me?" Qu Yue said seriously.

"Go ahead." Luo Ye glanced helplessly at Qu Yue, who was acting silly. She could also guess the reason for his bickering with Xing Nong; he joked about wanting her to choose him, afraid she’d keep a distance in the future, so he deliberately bickered with Xing Nong. This way, it would seem more like a joke, and she naturally wouldn’t feel right getting mad at him.

This thoughtfulness left her at a loss for words. She probably couldn’t repay his kindness in this lifetime.

Sigh, thinking about this gave her a headache.

Maybe, that’s how people are, wanting to cover all bases is impossible, you can only go forward following your heart and nature.

If you deliberately distance yourself due to this concern or that, the end result might be even harder to accept.

Qu Yue recounted in detail what Li Xiaoyan had told him over the phone, then said, "I plan to visit Li Xiaoyan’s hometown tomorrow. We shouldn’t delay the Imperial Meal matter to avoid future complications."

Luo Ye was well aware of some rural elders’ stubbornness, so she said, "If you go just like that, it’s probably useless. After all, Li Xiaoyan is from Shangguan Town, and Old Sir Wang won’t accept it either. What he wants now is a granddaughter-in-law, not money."

Xing Nong scratched his head in confusion, "I just don’t get it, isn’t it easy for him to find a granddaughter-in-law with money?"

"Do you think he’s stupid? Wang Qiayu hasn’t had a girlfriend until now, surely because he’s picky, it’s not just a matter of having money to get a wife.

And that the old sir of the Wang Family insists so much, he must have seen that Wang Qiayu likes Li Xiaoyan, so, in his view, giving money to buy the recipe, money will eventually run out.

But marrying the granddaughter-in-law his grandson likes, and an adept one at that, the Wang Family will someday rise.

Xing Nong looked confused, "I don’t quite understand. If Li Xiaoyan marries Wang Qiayu, she’d definitely go back to his hometown, so how would their Wang Family rise then?"

"Liangyou has a branch in Yunsheng City too, and Shangguan Town is under Yunsheng City. If Li Xiaoyan offers the recipe to Liangyou and requests to be transferred to Yunsheng City as a manager, do you think Liangyou would refuse?"

"That old man is quite something." Xing Nong looked surprised, "To think that far, that’s extraordinary. In my impression, rural old men only see money, how could they see that far, seems like I’ve missed the mark again."

"Can a family that has such a recipe be just any simple rural old man?"

"Then why didn’t he sell the recipe earlier?"

"He wanted to sell it, but who would buy it?" Luo Ye smiled, "Don’t forget how troublesome that recipe is, a regular restaurant wouldn’t have the ability to implement it.

In Yunsheng City, there’s really no restaurant capable of implementing that recipe. Going to a big city to find buyers, without someone to introduce, how can you sell for a good price?

Take us for example, even if we acquire the recipe, not every Liangyou restaurant will have the Imperial Menu."

"Got it, the main issue is the old man doesn’t know wealthy people." Xing Nong pouted, "So what are you planning to do? Really let Li Xiaoyan marry Old Man Wang’s grandson?"

"Can we decide that?" Luo Ye glared at her, "You can be smart at times and confused at others, even her parents have no say, can Qu Yue and I decide?"
