Chapter 118 Call me, Auntie
At the award ceremony, Bai Huahua followed Yao Jia's instructions in advance and donated supplies and money to the Le family navy in the name of Bai Ji.
Marquis Yongle must be here to thank her, so she has to go.
Yao Jia nodded, stood up and said, "Okay, I'll go over and take a look."
Huaichuan also stood up immediately and followed Yaojia.
Bai Huahua looked at the two people's backs as they left, feeling confused.
Did I just hear Shuanghua say that she arranged a few girls for Huaichuan to meet? Why are there only the two of them in this room?
The banquet hall was filled with distinguished guests, who were playing harps and flutes, clinking glasses and having a great time.
As soon as Yao Jia entered, Shuang Hua came over and held her hand. "I wanted to go and call you in person, but there are too many people coming to congratulate you today... Why are you so... "
Shuanghua raised her hand and lightly touched Yaojia's lips, then glanced in the direction of Huaichuan with a dim and unclear look in her eyes.
Yao Jia held Shuang Hua's hand and smiled, "It's nothing, I just bumped into him accidentally."
Shuanghua naturally wouldn't believe it. How could the body be so evenly textured and not bleed? It was obvious that she had cheated on him.
Now he can only pretend to be confused here and go back to settle the score with Yao Jia.
But his eyes would glance at Huaichuan from time to time.
I was away for only a short while and this guy took advantage of the opportunity.
Just after sending Yaojia to her seat, Shuanghua was called away again.
Looking at Shuanghua's busy figure, Yaojia suddenly felt relieved. It seemed that her man had his own things to do.
Nangong Xiu Lan manages Tianxing Pavilion, Shuang Hua manages the business in the Jiangnan area, and Ye Sinan... has his own Lingyun Palace to manage.
She alone seemed to have nothing to do.
Yao Jia picked up the wine glass and drank it in one gulp, then placed the glass heavily on the table.
How come she has nothing to do? She's managing her men!
At this time, Marquis Yongle, who was a little drunk, swayed his body while holding the wine glass, and knelt down beside Yao Jia's table.
He thanked Yao Jia profusely, "Aunt, you are really my real aunt, no, you are my second real mother. Your 100,000 taels of silver and supplies are really a great help to the martial arts world! I don't know how to thank you, Young Pavilion Master."
Yao Jia didn't know whether to laugh or cry, so she quickly called Le Jinhuan to come forward and take Le Hou, who was a little drunk, back to rest.
Le Jinhuan smiled and tried to pull his old father, but the old father raised his hand to avoid him.
"No, I am not drunk yet. I can still drink... Wuyou... Wuyou..."
Le Wuyou heard Marquis Yongle calling him and pulled himself away from the conversation.
After nodding and smiling with Yao Jia, he looked at Yongle Hou and asked, "What does father want me to do?"
Yongle Hou smiled at Le Wuyou and burped, "I'm a little drunk... Please thank the Young Master for me, I... I have to leave first... Have fun... Come on, give me some..."
Le Jinhuan smiled and helped his father up, winked at Yao Jia, and pointed to a handsome young man not far away.
Yao Jia immediately understood and nodded at her.
After the two of them left, Bai Huahua came forward and whispered in his ear: "Jinhuan has taken a fancy to Qingfeng, send someone to send her over, and remember to give her the indenture as well."
Bai Huahua nodded and immediately asked someone to do it.
Le Wuyou had just seen the interaction between his sister and Yao Jia. He waved a fan to send cool breeze to Yao Jia and said with a smile, "Yaoyao, why do you love Ah Huan so much? If this continues, she will be spoiled by you in the future."
Yao Jia fiddled with the wine glass with her fingers, a doting smile on her lips, "Of course it hurts, after all, she still calls me little aunt."
Suddenly, she turned her head to look at Le Wuyou and said slyly, "If you also call me little aunt, I promise that I will love you too..."
Le Wuyou paused as he fanned himself, and the expression on his face instantly became unnatural.
Why did Yaojia use this harsh name to tease him again? Her father and sister did the same. The repeated use of "little aunt" and "little aunt" was already giving him a headache.
He put down his fan and poured himself a glass of wine, then raised it to Yao Jia and said, "Jia Jia, thank you for your kindness to the Le family."
Yao Jia smiled and raised her wine glass. "The Le family's navy guards the land and water for Da Xia. I am just doing my humble part. There is no need to thank me."
Le Wuyou shook his head. "How can this be called a small contribution? It is precisely because of Baiji's generous donation on the podium today that other merchants followed suit in the evening. The donations now are enough to support the army for several years."
"Really?"
Le Wuyou nodded, "Jia Jia, you are really a noble person of my Le family."
Yao Jia smiled and was about to speak when she saw a man coming towards her with a wine glass in his hand and a flattering look on his face.
Song Yue finally got this opportunity to get close to Yao Jia, so he naturally wouldn't miss it.
But as soon as he walked to Yao Jia's desk, an arm was placed in front of him, blocking his way.
Yao Jia looked up at Song Yue who was blocked by Huaichuan, and asked knowingly: "Who are you?"
Song Yue looked at Yao Jia with joy.
"My dear niece...my dear niece...it's me, Uncle Song, your father's good friend. Have you forgotten that I held you in my arms when you were a child?"
Yao Jia seemed to realize something belatedly and said, "Oh...Uncle Song."
She asked Huaichuan to send someone over, then stood up and said to Song Yue with a smile, "Uncle Song, don't blame your niece for being careless. Dad passed away so quickly that few of his business friends came to mourn. I can't blame me for not remembering you, so don't mind it."
Yao Jia's sarcastic remarks not only implied that Song Yueyi had taken advantage of his misfortune, but also scolded him for being ruthless and ungrateful.
At that time, Bai Zian could not accept Nangong Wanning's sudden death. He was so sad that he passed away in less than half a month.
Although Shuanghua was the successor brought up by Bai Zian, he was still young and inexperienced, and could not defeat these old foxes at all.
He could do nothing as he watched Baiji's business being ruthlessly divided up by the major chambers of commerce.
Baiji also gradually declined after Bai Zian passed away.
Shuanghua has always followed Bai Zian's teachings and is not allowed to use the power of Tianxing Pavilion to pave the way for herself, so her business has been very difficult in the past few years.
Fortunately, Shuanghua is good at business and has slowly taken back the previous business bit by bit.
Song Yue naturally heard the sarcasm in Yao Jia's words. After all, he had also been through many ups and downs, so naturally his skin was as thick as a city wall.
What's more, he now needs help from Yao Jia, so it's not too much to be humiliated a few times.
He sighed, looking heartbroken, "What are you talking about, niece? Brother Bai passed away suddenly, and I really couldn't accept it. Then I got a serious illness and I didn't make it to his funeral... Alas!"
Yao Jia rolled her eyes in her heart. This guy is really a profit-oriented businessman who will not do anything without profit.
They can make up any lie to achieve their goals. If he hadn't taken the lead in dividing up Baiji's business, how could he have become the chairman?
It's really shameless.
He pretended to comfort her and said, "Uncle Song, you must take good care of your health."
Song Yue chuckled a few times, poured himself a glass of wine, looked at Yao Jia and said with a flattering smile: "It's rare that my niece doesn't blame me. Uncle offers you a glass."
Yao Jia smiled lightly, and did not take the wine glass handed over by Song Yue. Instead, she raised her hand and pointed at the empty wine glass on the table, "I appreciate Uncle Song's kindness, but I can't drink much. The last glass was my limit. I'm afraid I can't handle this one."
Song Yue instantly understood what Yao Jia meant. This little girl wanted him to drink by himself.
Although he was somewhat reluctant in his heart, he still forced himself to smile and drank the wine in one gulp when he thought about the purpose of his trip.
After putting down the wine glass, he looked at Yao Jia with a flattering face and said, "Niece, uncle has something to ask of you. I wonder if you are willing to help uncle with this?"
Yao Jia suppressed her disgust and said patiently, "Uncle Song, please tell me. As long as my niece can do it, I will definitely do it."
When Song Yue heard what Yao Jia said, his brows instantly lit up with joy.
