The Fierce Farm Girl Has A Secret Space Chapter 2432: Didn’t Sleep Well (4)

Early the next morning, Hao Jian and Qin Shou arrived, and unexpectedly, Old Master Hao and Old Master Qin accompanied them.

While Yang Ruxin hadn't personally visited their residences, she had encountered the patriarchs of both families before. When Hao Jian became involved with her, she had already thoroughly investigated the backgrounds of the Hao and Qin families. Otherwise, relying solely on the notoriety of these two young masters, she would never have dared to embark on such a significant business collaboration.

Old Master Hao's leg had mended, yet he still couldn't place his full weight on it, necessitating the use of a cane as he arrived.

Old Master Qin's legs were in good condition, but his eyes appeared shadowed. After receiving yesterday's news, he had returned overnight from the Taoist temple and made his way to the village early, evidently having had a sleepless night.

Despite their appearances, both elder gentlemen exuded vitality.

"Greetings, Madam Ruyi," they chimed in unison. Both were plump and round, bearing a striking resemblance to their sons. The father-son pairs looked so alike, it was as if they were photocopies, instantly revealing their familial connection.

"No need for such formalities, Old Master Hao and Old Master Qin. Please, take a seat," Yang Ruxin said with a slight nod. "I am heavily pregnant, so please excuse any lack of proper etiquette on my part."

The two elders exchanged a look. Old Master Hao hesitated before speaking, "Madam, you are too kind. Yesterday, my impetuous son brought back a contract, and I was so thrilled that I couldn't sleep all night. Is it truly possible for our family to earn your favor?" While their family possessed wealth, they lacked a solid foundation. To outsiders, they appeared as mere nouveau riche without deep roots, vulnerable lambs if targeted by envious individuals. Yang Ruxin, however, was different; she possessed genuine power. Consider the influential figures backing her: Prince Eight, Prince Three, the Crown Prince, and even the Empress Dowager. Unless the Daxuan Dynasty itself crumbled, who would dare provoke her? Such an action would be tantamount to inviting a slow demise.

Furthermore, he had heard from his son that Sister Xin also held considerable standing within the martial arts community, even possessing the Martial Arts Token. Though he didn't fully comprehend its significance, as long as his son vouched for Sister Xin's impressiveness, aligning themselves with her seemed the prudent course of action.

"I also rushed here overnight," Old Master Qin interjected, pointing to his dark circles. "I barely spent two hours at home before heading this way." With that, he tugged at the corner of his mouth. "I thought I was dreaming. I even bruised my thighs pinching myself." He began to pull at his pants as he spoke.

"Dad," Young Master Qin quickly moved to stop his father's hand. "Don't expose your withered old legs and disgust Sister Xin."

Old Master Qin's expression faltered as he immediately recognized his inappropriate behavior. He hastily clasped his fists, "My apologies, I got a bit carried away just now!"

Chun Hua, standing beside Yang Ruxin, couldn't suppress a burst of laughter.

Yang Ruxin also chuckled, finally understanding the origin of their unreliable sons' peculiar antics. She quickly waved her hand, "Since I approached you, it was naturally not just for trivial matters."

Old Master Hao and Old Master Qin visibly relaxed, breathing a collective sigh of relief.

Old Master Hao even subtly raised an eyebrow at Old Master Qin, as if conveying, "See? Wasn't it all thanks to me? If not for my good-for-nothing son's foolishness, how would we have connected with her? And if your family hadn't been on good terms with mine, how could you have also caught her attention?"

For the first time, Old Master Qin offered a slight nod, refraining from any retort. While the implication was clear, he felt an equal measure of pride. His own son wasn't lacking; at the very least, he possessed the thick skin necessary to impress her as well.

"Did you all understand the plan I outlined?" Yang Ruxin's smile faded as she adopted a serious demeanor.
