C21 (2/2)
The transparent girl didn't say a word and followed him. She was curious about the extreme change in personality of a certain someone today. She wanted to see what else he would do.
Very quickly, Xiao Chunyang saw the three merchants that shouted for them to return the ten thousand gold coins to the Xiao family before they left the Xiao Family Market.
”It's the three of you?”
These three people did not have much of a special characteristic. If one really had to say, they did not have the typical merchant's smell on them. From the looks of it, they did not seem to be merchants. From their eyes, Xiao Chunyang noticed that when the three people in front of him saw him, they all had the same expression, which was a flash of contempt and happiness.
This change confirmed Xiao Chunyang's previous judgement. This time, things were not simple.
When the three merchants saw the appearance of the second young master of the Xiao family, they reacted in such a way. Although they appeared to be very careful on the surface, their eyes could not fool anyone.
”This is?” Amongst the three of them, the skinniest man in his thirties asked with a puzzled expression.
”This is the second young master of the Xiao family. If you have any requests, you can speak to him.”
Without waiting for Xiao Chunyang to speak, De Laiwei started speaking first.
If he hadn't seen the slight change in the expressions of the three of them, or the real young master of the Xiao family in the past, he would have thought that the three of them didn't recognize him. However, it was very clear that not only did these three people know him, they even knew him well.
”So it's Second Young Master. I wonder if the three of us can agree to our previous request?”
”You three, how long have you been in the market?”
Xiao Chunyang did not directly answer, but suddenly asked a seemingly unrelated question.
The expressions of the three of them changed, and one of them cut in and asked, ”Second Young Master, is there a problem with that? Now that the market is depressed, there is no money to be made. Perhaps ten thousand gold coins is nothing to a rich person like the Xiao family, but we are just doing our business and this is a huge sum. I hope that second young master can forgive us for returning the deposit to us. ”
When Xiao Chunyang asked this question, the undetectable eyes of the fatty De Laiwei, who was standing behind him, flashed. Unfortunately, no one noticed this.
”You guys didn't come here for long, did you?” Just as Xiao Chunyang's pitiful voice fell, the expressions of the three people in front of them changed yet again. Seeing their reactions, Xiao Chunyang more or less understood what was going on.
”Is that a problem?”
The three of them looked around uncertainly.
At this moment, no one noticed that in a small shop not too far away, there were several pairs of eyes staring at them, waiting to see how things would develop.
”Did this kid discover something?”
One of the 20 year olds, a handsome youth frowned and asked.
”I don't think so. Perhaps it was just a casual question. Don't you know who that boy is?”
Another youth around the same age as him couldn't help but laugh.
”Humph!” Last time, he was beaten half to death. Unexpectedly, nothing happened after a short while. Right, who was that girl behind him? I've never seen it before. ”
”I'm not sure, but we should have known that there was actually such an elegant and refined beauty in Xiamen City. Perhaps she was one of the new arrivals.”
On the other side, under Xiao Chunyang's pitiful gaze, the three merchants each answered Xiao Chunyang's questions.
The three of them had not been in the Xiao Family Market for long, and the first one of them had only just joined the market late last year. The other two were both at the start of the year. It could be said that not long after, he suddenly asked to withdraw from the market.
When they heard this answer, Xiao Chunyang gave a slight sneer in his heart, ”Indeed, who didn't know of the Xiao Clan's business slump for the past few years in the Xia Mu City? If it were not for all sorts of reasons, many people here would have already left, and these three people actually jumped in like fools at this time. ”
”Heh heh!” It was fine if he jumped in, but the Xiao family welcomed such a fool. But not long after, they have to leave again. Furthermore, they forcefully request for the deposit of the deposit to be returned to the market. This clearly means that they are here to cause trouble! ”
Xiao Chunyang could already confirm that there was someone controlling the situation from behind the scenes. Furthermore, the person behind the scenes had been prepared a long time ago.
