Chapter 236 Disagreeable Parting_1

Zhao Erhu and Lin Yue, seeing the attitude of the Wei Family patriarch, naturally couldn't fawn over him like Zhao Quan and Zhao Xing did. Their return was merely due to the Wei Family's repeated invitations, wanting to see what kind of schemes the Wei Family had in mind. How did it concern them that the Wei Family patriarch was wealthy and influential? They didn't need anything from him, and Lin Yue, in particular, felt that the Wei Family patriarch only met the standard of a local tycoon—nothing more.

The Wei Family patriarch was waiting for Zhao Erhu and his wife to butter him up so he could casually inquire about their relationship with the Magistrate. But the couple didn't give him any indication, just sitting there, looking foolish, talking about something—their gaze never once straying in his direction. The Wei Family patriarch felt suffocated by frustration. Indeed, these were unsophisticated country folks, he thought, expecting him to be the one to initiate conversation.
