Chapter 199

First acquisition.

Second acquisition.

The shrewd people present finally understood: Third Young Master Zhan and Young Master Qiao were both there to back Hai Ling.

They might not have heard of how capable Hai Ling was, but they couldn't ignore the fact that several major wealthy families stood behind her, and her own younger sister was the eldest young mistress of the Zhan family; she had plenty of capital to invest in Hai Ling.

As long as Hai Ling had enough courage and vision, she would not need to worry about lacking the capital to enter the field.

Those clansmen who had been suppressed by the Head of the Feng family but still possessed some small amount of ability began to scheme in their hearts.

Hai Ling smiled and said, "As long as it is a profitable project, I am interested. Young Master Qiao, is it convenient tomorrow? I would like to pay a visit."

Qiao Han said in a gentle, composed tone, "Whenever you come over, it is always convenient for me."

Zhan Haoyu said jealously, "Qiao Han, you are so good to Sister Hai Ling, I'm going to be jealous. When I go over, you always say you are busy and can't be bothered with me, but as soon as Sister Hai Ling wants to go, you say it's always convenient."

Qiao Han glanced at him sideways, "Sister Hai Ling and I hit it off."

Feng Qing also smiled, "I also feel that I hit it off quite well with Hai Ling. If it is convenient for you, Young Master Qiao, I wonder if I might be able to pay a visit?"

"If Miss Feng comes over, I can still manage to squeeze out some time; if it were anyone else, I wouldn't have the time."

As for the Feng family, Qiao Han could only give face to Feng Qing.

She had always thought highly of Feng Qing and appreciated her, and had even once wanted to play matchmaker between Feng Qing and her younger brother, Qiao Xuan, but unfortunately, Qiao Xuan felt no spark for Feng Qing.

Qiao Xuan's excuse was that he would not be a live-in son-in-law for the Feng family.

In reality, it was because he felt no spark for Feng Qing.

Matters of the heart require mutual consent to be happy.

Even if feelings can be cultivated, not everyone can cultivate feelings for one another.

Feng Qing smiled and said, "I also have a project in my hands that I am very optimistic about. If Young Master Qiao is interested, you can take a look." "Good."

Qiao Han agreed readily.

Taking a look didn't mean they actually had to cooperate.

She would not cooperate with the Feng family, but she could cooperate with Feng Qing; the company Feng Qing founded before returning to the Feng family had good prospects.

Seeing that Qiao Han's attitude toward Feng Qing was good, the expression on the Head of the Feng family's aged face softened a little.

This meal could be considered to have passed peacefully.

Having eaten and drunk their fill, Qiao Han prepared to take her leave.

If she left, Zhan Haoyu would naturally follow.

Hai Ling simply took her leave of the Head of the Feng family as well, preparing to leave with Qiao Han and the others.

The Head of the Feng family could not persuade them to stay, so she had to lead her family to rise and see them off. At this moment, she remembered her adopted daughter, Feng Ruo, and asked her eldest daughter-in-law, "Where is A-Ruo?"

"A-Ruo? Oh, Mom told her to take food up to Dad, she hasn't come down since, right? Anyway, I haven't seen her since she went upstairs."

The Head of the Feng family frowned and instructed her eldest daughter-in-law, "Go upstairs and see, tell A-Ruo to come down."

Young Master Qiao was about to leave; what was wrong with Feng Ruo, was she still holed up upstairs eating and drinking with that spineless old man?

The eldest young mistress of the Feng family said "oh" and went upstairs to find Feng Ruo.

Not two minutes later, her scream came from upstairs.

Immediately after, she stumbled toward the top of the stairs and ran down, stumbling as she went. When she was about to reach the first floor, she missed a step, fell, and tumbled down.

Fortunately, there were only a few steps left, and she was not injured by tumbling down like that.

It was just that the expression on her face was spectacular—it was one of shock and terror, as if she had seen a ghost.

"Wife, what's wrong? Why are you screaming like that?"
