Su Baifeng came to the private room and saw Xue Fanxin eating happily the moment she entered. Her table manners were as ugly as they could be, and she was secretly happy. How could such an uncultured woman compare to her?
Although Su Baifeng was mocking Xue Fanxin in her heart, she did not show it on her face. She gently bowed to Gu Jinyuan. “Greetings, Young Master Gu.”
Xue Fanxin raised her head to look at Su Baifeng and recognized her at a glance. She was the fairy who had been chatting with Ye Jiushang in the Spirit Origin Mountain Range.
In other words, she was the one who had sent Hongyi to assassinate her. Enemies were indeed bound to meet on a narrow road!
But this was good too. At least she knew who her enemy was.
“Oh, it’s Miss Su. May I know why you are looking for me?” Gu Jinyuan’s tone clearly revealed his displeasure. Anyone could tell that he did not welcome Su Baifeng’s arrival.
Su Baifeng naturally understood the meaning in Gu Jinyuan’s words. Initially, she was feeling happy, but now, she was furious. She spent a lot of effort to suppress her emotions. “Young Master Gu, I want to discuss something with you. I wonder if Young Master Gu can move and talk to me in private.”
“Not interested. If that’s all, then please leave. Don’t disturb my friend’s meal.”
“Young Master Gu, this is a very big business opportunity. Don’t tell me that you don’t want to earn money?”
“I can’t think of any profitable business that Miss Su has. Even if you do, it’s not something to be seen in the light. I’m not interested in those shady deals you have.”
“Young Master Gu, why are you so sure?”
“The mineral vein in the Red Maple Forest belongs to the Heavenly Saints Empire. If the Prime Minister’s Estate wants to mine it privately, once the matter is exposed, my Heavenly Treasure Trading Company will definitely take the blame. I won’t be stupid enough to cooperate with you. As for that
mineral vein, you can mine it yourself if you have the ability. I have no intention of sharing a piece of the pie with you.”
Gu Jinyuan actually said what business Su Baifeng wanted to discuss directly, and he did it in front of a third person. This made Su Baifeng extremely angry. She could no longer hide her emotions. She glared angrily at Xue Fanxin, who was still eating, and warned coldly, “Young Master Gu, you should
know how major this matter is. If an unimportant person finds out, thte only way to keep it a secret is by silencing them.”
“Are you threatening me?” Gu Jinyuan turned around and warmed Su Baifeng, “I can guarantee that this secret will not be leaked from our mouths, but if you dare to touch her, you will be making me, Gu Jinyuan, an enemy. The secret of the Red Maple Forest will soon reach the ears of Heavenly Saints
Emperor.”
“You…”
“Consort Su has been grounded by the Heavenly Saints Emperor for two months. If she makes another mistake at this time, do you think she will be thrown into the cold palace? Without Consort Su, can the Prime Minister’s Estate still call the shots in Heavenly Saints City? Su Baifeng, you shouldn’t have
set your sights on me. Don’t think that just because a few nameless people say that you are the number one talent, you are really a talent. With your intelligence, if you didn’t have the support of the Prime Minister’s Estate, I’m afraid you would have been bitten to death long ago.”
Gu Jinyuan originally did not want to care about Su Baifeng, but she had killing intent towards Xue Fanxin, so he could not ignore it.
Actually, he was quite regretful. He really shouldn’t have revealed the secret of the Red Maple Forest to Xue Fanxin and gotten her involved.
Just as Gu Jinyuan was filled with regret, Xue Fanxin was thinking about something else.
Red Maple Forest… She had heard from her grandfather that her great-grandma had been buried in the Red Maple Forest.
