Happy Divorce Chapter 3 (Part 1)
Happy Divorce Chapter 3 (Part 1) Original translation is from tenderflower's blog.
Yan Feixi had to say that Su Manlu was completely beyond his expectations.
The moment she saw him, he clearly saw the hatred in her eyes. He thought she would turn around and leave, or mock him on the spot —— after all, it was he who had wronged her back then.
According to what he heard in Nanxi City these days, the eldest young lady of the Su family had never been someone to be trifled with. She was shrewd and calm and would retaliate for all the insults in the business world. Her cunning but all-rounded business skills were not inferior to those of men.
Every time he heard about her deeds, he doubted whether she was the same person because, in his eyes, she was almost submissive and cowardly in the Yan family, which made one dislike her. In addition, he only felt disgust for her at that time, and he also felt disgusted with her obedience.
But the two encounters, plus what he heard in the city these days, let him know that the supple woman had changed and became interesting.
And the coldness in her eyes told him completely that she didn’t want to see him again. To be honest, even if she retaliated against Yan Feixi, it wouldn’t be surprising, after all, he did owe her back then.
Yan Feixi even thought it would be impossible if Tang Yinfeng wanted to discuss business today. He was Tang Yinfeng’s friend. Maybe Su Manlu would be angry and directly refuse to cooperate with the Tang family.
But Su Manlu didn’t. When she saw him, her mood fluctuated for a moment, then she returned to being cold and completely ignored him.
Taking a sip of thin wine, Yan Feixi sat on the bench next to the railing, holding the wine cup in one hand and placing the other on his bent right knee, leaning against the wooden railing. A pot of tea and several plates of refreshments were on the small coffee table next to him. He drank wine lazily, his long and beautiful tea eyes silently watching Su Manlu, who was sitting at the Eight Immortals table some distance away from him.
They were positioned just opposite each other, allowing him to observe her carefully.
Facing the opposite gaze, Su Manlu ignored it. She discussed it calmly with Tang Yinfeng and turned a blind eye to that man.
Seeing Yan Feixi again, she really just wanted to turn around and leave. When she saw that man, she would be reminded of her own unbearable past, which was a past she didn’t want to think about anymore.
But reason just suppressed the impulse in her heart. She did not forget that she came to Taozhen Tower to discuss business with someone. She would not let herself do anything rude, let alone be influenced by him.
That man no longer had anything to do with her. As early as the moment she got the divorce letter, she decided not to take him into her heart anymore.
The hands on her knees tightened silently. Su Manlu looked calm, with a faint smile on her lips, as if nothing had happened. In everyone’s eyes, she was still the shrewd and powerful eldest young lady of the Su family.
“Young Master Tang, of course, it’s no problem for the Tang family’s medicinal materials to pave the way in the South. In fact, the Su family has also wanted to develop in the Northeast recently. I’ve heard that the Tang family is also very knowledgeable about spices in addition to medicinal materials. I’m planning to open a few fragrant powder shops in the Northeast and cooperate with the Tang family in the spice business.”
The Tang family started with medicinal materials in the Northeast. It could be said to be the leader in medicinal materials in the Northeast. This time, the Tang family wanted to develop in the South. The first place they visited was the Su family. If they could cooperate with the Su family, the Tang family’s expansion in the South would be smooth. Su Manlu had long planned to expand the Su family’s industry to the Northeast. The Su family’s position in the South had been stable for a long time. She didn’t want to just stick to it but planned to let the Su family’s businesses spread all over the country, so if they could cooperate with the Tang family, it would be beneficial to the Su family.
Therefore, even though it seemed like Yan Feixi had a close relationship with the Tang family —— she did not believe the Tang family would let a friend listen to cooperation matters —— but whatever relationship Yan Feixi had with the Tang family had nothing to do with her. All she wanted was for this cooperation to be successful.
“I didn’t expect the eldest young lady to plan to open a fragrant powder shop in the Northeast. Of course, the Tang family is willing to sell spices to the eldest young lady. If the eldest young lady is not familiar with the Northeast, the Tang family is willing to send someone to help.” Tang Yinfeng chuckled, but muttered in his heart, feeling weird about the strange atmosphere around him.
This Yan Feixi had been looking at the eldest young lady of the Su family, not shying away at all, looking directly and matter-of-factly, but she was indifferent and turned a blind eye to Yan Feixi. The maid next to the eldest young lady didn’t look very good, and sometimes she would secretly glare at Yan Feixi as if she had some deep hatred.
Tang Yinfeng glanced at Yan Feixi suspiciously. Strange, when did Feixi provoke the Su family? And it seemed like he still offended the eldest young lady of the Su family. But wasn’t this the first time Feixi had come to Nanxi City?
Yan Feixi’s eyes were still looking straight at Su Manlu. He was not annoyed when she ignored him. There was even a thought in his heart that he wanted to see the calmness collapse on that small, white, jade face... His thoughts surprised him, but he didn’t want to stop them.
When Tang Yinfeng and Su Manlu negotiated all the conditions for cooperation, he finally slowly opened his lips.
“I heard that Miss Su is looking for a son-in-law?”
Su Manlu had been ignoring his probing gaze. She knew what Yan Feixi was thinking, and he must have been surprised by her change.
Now, she had no trace of the aggrieved and tolerant second young madam of the Yan family. Now, she was Su Manlu, the eldest young lady in power of the Su family.
Slowly raising her eyes, she finally met his gaze. Her black pupils were not wavering at all, as if she were facing a stranger, “I didn’t expect the young master to be so concerned about the gossip in the public.” The sound was like a melodious tune, soft and gentle, but also implied something.
Yan Feixi, who was implied to be a rural woman of disrepute, raised his lips and became more interested. Being ridiculed was better than being ignored.
Swaying the sapphire jade wine cup, Yan Feixi expressed his admiration, “One can’t do anything about it. Who made Miss Su world famous? A special woman like Miss Su is truly rare. I can’t help but pay attention to her.” These words sounded very frivolous, but to Su Manlu’s ears, they were ridiculous and annoying.
She had not forgotten his disdain towards her back then, as if she were beneath contempt. She couldn’t get his attention no matter how much she tried to please him. Now, he was willing to cast his eyes on her? Did he think she was more interesting now than the meek woman she was back then?
