Lin Xinran took in all their reactions, and felt only infinite ridicule for their aggressiveness.

Not far away, a figure walked slowly towards them. He had an upright posture, head held high and chest puffed out, and he had a calm and unhurried temperament.

When he saw the people surrounding the Lin Family Archway, he frowned slightly, as if he was very dissatisfied with their behavior, or even angry.

"What are you doing? Why are you all gathered here?!"

As he spoke, he had already squeezed into the crowd. These merchants obviously knew him as the son of the city lord. As he squeezed in, they consciously parted a path for him, allowing him to arrive in front of Lin Xinran smoothly.

"Xinran, it looks like you're in some trouble?"

His voice was gentle and there was a faint smile on his face, making people feel like spring breeze.

If Lin Xinran had not learned from Meng Chen that it was he who instructed the major families to put pressure on the Lin family, she might have actually developed a good impression of him.

Now it seems that everything was just his disguise. What a hypocritical man he is!
Thinking back to her previous thoughts, marrying him to save the Lin family was ridiculous! With Zhao Qian's current behavior, after marrying him, let alone saving the Lin family, the entire Lin family would probably become his possession.

Lin Xinran smiled politely: "It is true that I encountered some troubles, but it has been resolved. Thank you for your kindness, Mr. Zhao!"

The expression on Zhao Qian's face froze for a moment, but he quickly adjusted himself.

He smiled and said, "I see. Xinran, if you encounter any problems, please tell me. I will definitely help you within my ability."

When he said this, his eyes fell on Meng Chen and Huang Wujin beside him. Huang Wujin was wearing a white mask on his face, with an arrogant and indifferent attitude, while Meng Chen looked straight into his eyes.

Perhaps out of possessiveness, Zhao Qian had a vague hostility towards Meng Chen, the man standing next to Lin Xinran.

Lin Xinran smiled: "Well, of course, now the matter has been resolved for the time being, I still have things to do, so I will leave first."

She didn't want to have too much involvement with Zhao Qian now. Zhao Qian's face froze, but soon returned to normal.

"Okay, then Xinran, go 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 where they were, not daring to leave.

Zhao Qian was a little annoyed when he saw them: "What are you still doing here? Get out of here!"

These merchants left in a hurry, secretly complaining in their hearts that Zhao Qian obviously disliked their incompetence! However, they had promised to hand over the pills when the time came, so what could they do?
If you want to blame someone, you 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 servant whispered, "Master, the Lin family doesn't even have an alchemist. If the Lin family can't produce elixirs in three days, they will still fall. We just need to wait another three days."

Another servant also whispered: "Yes! The delivery date of the contract signed between these merchants and the Lin family is three days later. We came in a bit too hasty."

Zhao Qian's eyes were slightly cold: "Three days later...Okay! Then give them another three days!"

They were very sure that the Lin family could not hand over the elixirs. After all, all the famous alchemists in the whole Weiyuan City had been bribed by the major families at his suggestion, and they would never help the Lin family without knowing the consequences.

They were confident and left.

Three days passed quickly. During these three days, all the major families were keeping an eye on the Lin family, but the Lin family was unusually calm.

He did not rush around to invite alchemists, nor did he buy pills from other channels. It was as if he had forgotten about the alchemy workshop.

The major families calmed down and began to eye the Lin family more covetously. After this incident, the Lin family might collapse. Even if it didn't collapse, it would most likely become a vassal of the City Lord's Mansion.

In this process, a lot of benefits will flow out, and this is what they want!

Early in the morning of the third day, Meng Chen heard shouting outside the Lin Mansion.

"Xinran! Please, see me!"

"Xinran! I've heard everything. I'm willing to face it with you! Please, see me!"

……

His shouting was continuous, disturbing Meng Chen's sleep. Huang Wujin in his arms also woke up slowly, stroked Meng Chen's face gently with one hand, and met Meng Chen's eyes, with a feeling of mutual affection through their eyes.

"That idiot, I'm going to go out and fight him, you get some sleep." Meng Chen said softly.

He found that Huang Wujin seemed to be particularly sleepy, and every time he fell asleep, he slept very deeply, as if he had not slept for hundreds of years.

Early in the morning, Guo Huai'en was shouting outside the door, disturbing people's sleep. Meng Chen could choose to endure it, but Huang Wujin was woken up, which made him very unhappy.

Meng Chen washed up casually, then flew up into the air. In a few moves, he had reached the courtyard wall. Seeing Guo Huai'en still shouting outside, he threw out the brick he had picked up on the road.

"Ouch!"

With a wail, Guo Huai'en was hit on the head with a brick.

I have to say that his head was quite solid, with no broken skin, just a big swelling. Guo Huai'en raised his eyes angrily and met Meng Chen's playful expression.

"It's you again! Who are you? Why are you in the Lin family?" He stared at Meng Chen angrily.

Meng Chen glanced at him disdainfully: "Is it your business?"

"I...Xinran and I grew up together. We are childhood sweethearts. Do you think I have any say in this?"

Meng Chen sneered: "Hahaha! Is childhood sweethearts a stable relationship? What right do you have to control 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 Lin family, you can't stop me!"

Guo Huai'en finally felt a little more confident. This was real effort, and the Lin family couldn't possibly reject him, right?
He stared at Meng Chen, but found that the smile on the other's face became brighter and brighter, with sarcasm and disdain, as if he was looking at a fool!
Guo Huai'en was furious: "What do you mean? Let Xinran come out quickly, she must be willing to see me!"

Meng Chen said disdainfully: "See you? Why should I see you!"

Guo Huai'en said confidently: "Of course it's because I can help the Lin family overcome these difficulties!"

Meng Chen's expression turned cold, staring at him coldly and said, "Can you still be your Guo family?"

Guo Huai'en was a little confused: "I...I am the Guo family!"

Meng Chen showed disdain on his face: "Can you represent the Guo family? If your Guo family is willing to help, why would you wait until now?"
