Capítulo 59: Be Straightforward

Editor: Atlas Studios

After Ji Fengyan finished saying, Lei Xu's hands that were holding on to the teacup trembled uncontrollably as he shot a confused look at Ji Fengyan.

"Mineral vein? What mineral vein?" Lei Xu said as he pretended to stay calm.

Ji Fengyan could not be bothered to beat about the bush and directly said, "Ji City produces large quantities of mineral ores. A few days ago, I have played a few rounds in the city's stone betting store and thought that it was interesting. I know that the majority of Ji City's good quality mineral veins are all managed by the City Lord. I have been in Ji City for a few days. I'm not sure when Master Lei will be ready to bring me around to see those mineral veins?"

Lei Xu's expression changed subtly. He had never thought that Ji Fengyan this little brat would be interested in mineral veins. Previously, he had also heard of the incident between Ji Fengyan and Su Lingsheng at a stone betting store. He had originally thought that Ji Fengyan was displeased that 'the person she loved was stolen' and thus she created trouble for Su Lingsheng on purpose. Who would have thought that she really planned to get her hands on the mineral veins?

In this short instant, Lei Xu did not give any reply and calmed himself down with a few gulps of tea.

Linghe, who was at the side, could no longer hold it in as he saw that Lei Xu had intended to play dumb again and immediately asked, "Master Lei! Our Miss is Ji City's City Lord personally appointed by Your Majesty. I shall not argue with you about the previous arrangements you have for us, but this is the rights that the City Lord should be able to enjoy. Don't tell me that Master Lei you intend to hide it? Even a rabbit will bite people when desperate!"

Linghe's tone was incisive and his threat was very obvious.

Lei Xu squinted his eyes and looked at Linghe, as his face darkened slightly. Linghe did not avoid him and looked straight at Lei Xu.

Suddenly, Lei Xu started bursting out in laughter.

"Why do you have to be so agitated brother? Fengyan is my future daughter-in-law and has grown up with Min'er ever since a young age. As her elder, why would I mistreat her? The issue about mineral vein can be settled very easily, I was just a little perplexed that Fengyan would be interested in those icy cold stones. Since Fengyan wants to see, I will naturally not stop her, it's just that the mineral veins around Ji City are mostly in the hills out there. The time now is not early anymore, even if you want to go, I'm afraid we have to wait until tomorrow," as Lei Xu spoke, he turned to look at Ji Fengyan.

"Tomorrow it shall be." Ji Fengyan shrugged her shoulders. If not because she was not familiar with the hills near Ji City, she would be able to find her own way there.

"All right, then I shall get people to arrange. The weather during the past few days was not favourable and the area around the mineral veins are a little chaotic. For your safety, Uncle Lei will get people to make the proper arrangements," Lei Xu smiled as kind as he could. Lei Min, who was standing at the side, wanted to interrupt but was signalled by Lei Xu to not say anything.

"It's sufficient with the promise that Master Lei has made. Tomorrow morning, we will wait for you outside the city gates." After getting the answer she wanted, Ji Fengyan did not want to stay any longer at this place.

"Fengyan you are just going to leave like this? It's rare for you to come to Uncle Lei's place, don't you want to sit for a while longer?" Lei Xu tried to urge her to stay out of courtesy.

But Ji Fengyan suddenly dragged along Liu Huo, who was sitting at the side, and said, "you don't have to be so polite Master Lei. Given this time, I might as well spend time with my little Liu Huo, after all his injuries have not fully recovered. I shall be taking my leave then."

Ji Fengyan naturally held onto Liu Huo's hands and swaggered in front of Lei family's father and son.

Lei Min gritted his teeth as he looked at Ji Fengyan's back view gradually becoming further. After Ji Fengyan had really left, Lei Min could not hold it in any longer. "Father! This stupid brat was obviously trying to make things ugly for me! What can that bullshit Liu Huo be considered as? Father, have you gone muddled, how could you bring her to the mineral veins!"
