144 Refusal Of The Deal

Jing Yan answered without hesitation, ” “I don’t like her.”

Meng Xin looked up at him with tears in her eyes. She ran out of the hotel room heartbroken. She did not want to stay in this room that made her suffocate and despair for a minute longer.

After Meng Xin left, Meng Lang said seriously again, “I know the answer. I’ll make sure Xinxin doesn’t disturb you in the future. I have another request for you.”

“Please speak.” Jing Yan nodded politely.

Meng Lang looked at He Miao and smiled. “We’ll need this lady’s approval for this.”

He Miao paused when she heard that, then tried to guess, “You want the stamen of the Crimson Flower?”

“Yes, I do.” Meng Lang nodded in appreciation and smiled. “This year’s stamen supply have been taken, and we don’t know how long it will take to wait for the next batch. I have a new formula for making perfumes, and I’m in urgent need of the crimson stamen to complete the mixture. I’m willing to buy them from you at a high price. You can name the price.”

He had long heard that the He family was not a wealthy family, so this offer should be very attractive to her. One should know that even if she used so many stamens herself, she might not be able to make a perfume that matched the value, but if she sold it to him, it would definitely be a deal with no loss.

However, He Miao shook her head firmly. “I’m not selling them. I have my own plans for these stamen. I can’t resell them to you.”

“What kind of plan could you have?” Meng Lang frowned in dissatisfaction.

Even though He Miao had won the competition, he did not believe that a young girl who only had eyes for university could make the best use of this expensive ingredient.

If she were to use them for experiments to develop new fragrances, these stamens might be wasted. That would be a waste of god’s gift!

“I said I have a plan, so I do. This is a prize I won, and I have the right to decide its use.” He Miao said her piece, not leaving Meng Lang any room for negotiation.

Meng Lang, who had run out of patience, leaned back in his chair and rubbed the space between his eyebrows in irritation. Since he could not achieve his goal, he did not want to keep her for a chat. “Since that’s the case, Jing Yan can stay and have dinner with us. Miss He, please go back first.”

“Alright,” she said. He Miao did not want to eat with them, so she stood up and prepared to leave without hesitation.

Unexpectedly, Jing Yan also stood up and said with an unhappy face, “Uncle Meng, I’m sorry I can’t stay to accompany you. He Miao and I will leave first.”

Meng Lang watched in surprise as the two of them left side by side. He pursed his lips and coldly narrowed his eyes.

Even though he knew that Jing Yan treated He Miao differently from other people, he did not expect that Jing Yan would disrespect him like this for He Miao.

The two families had been on good terms for generations. Even if Jing Yan would become the head of the Jing family in the future and looked much more distinguished than the second son of the family, he was still his elder, and Jing Yan had been calling him uncle for twenty years.

Jing Yan was really like his grandfather back then.

Meng Lang shook his head and smiled helplessly. He had heard about the old generation. At that time, in order to marry the woman he loved, Grandpa Jing had offended many aristocratic families and had to withstand great pressure to marry her into the family.

From this point of view, what the two of them had done was in line with Meng Lang’s life goal. Jing Yan’s behavior today made Meng Lang look forward to him becoming the new head of the Jing family.

After they left the hotel, He Miao looked worriedly at Jing Yan, who had a relaxed expression on his face. “Won’t you offend the Meng family by doing this? Your two families have been friends for generations. Will Grandpa be unhappy if he knows?”

“Don’t worry,” Jing Yan opened the car door for her without a care, then went around the front of the car and sat in the driver’s seat. “Uncle Meng isn’t that petty. Maybe he’s still admiring me.”

He Miao rolled her eyes at him. “Thick-skinned.”

Jing Yan could not help but chuckle. He turned his head and asked, “You still haven’t told me what you have to say to me.”

“I suddenly don’t want to tell you now.” He Miao turned her head and looked at him provocatively.”You’ll know when the time comes.”

“Alright,” he said. Jing Yan barely suppressed his curiosity, shrugged, and asked, “What do you want to eat? I’ll treat you to a meal to celebrate my champion.”

“Who is your champion?” He Miao pouted unhappily, but her eyes darted around naughtily. Suddenly, she thought of something and looked up at him in surprise. “Why don’t we go to the hot spring? We can also eat there!”

“Alright.” Jing Yan’s face was red, and his heart was beating fast. He wanted to see He Miao in a swimsuit, and he could not wait to step on the accelerator and head for the hot spring villa in the suburbs.

Meng Xin, who was hiding behind their car, quickly got into her own car and ordered the driver to follow them. Even if Jing Yan had already made it clear that he did not like her, she couldn’t let He Miao so easily take all of Jing Yan’s love!
