Chapter 248 I just felt: It was fun
Xia Mo adopted a humble demeanor, waiting for the You family head to continue.
"You have amazing technology that allows you to quickly produce large quantities of cotton and linen blends, and you also have import prices far below the world average. The fabric you produce is affordable for ordinary people, making it accessible to everyone, especially those families who only have one set of clothes and share them when going out. Because of you, they can afford to buy fabric..."
When the head of the You family praised someone, he looked at Xia Mo with sincere eyes, and it seemed like he was saying these words of praise from the bottom of his heart. But what was the truth behind it?
The screen in front of Patriarch You was already flooded with comments.
Comment: I love the sincerity in the eyes of the You family head. Even though it's obviously fake, you can't see any falsehood in them.
Comments: Is the Xia family head imitating the appearance of the original female lead from another script? The original female lead from that script looks really funny.
……
The barrage of comments flashed across the screen in front of Patriarch You. At this moment, Patriarch You was completely absorbed, his eyes fixed on only Xia Mo.
If Yu Niang were willing to stay with him, he would accept it. After all, besides her amazing skills, Yu Niang now possesses such rare beauty. If he could make good use of that beauty, why would he have to worry about not becoming a royal merchant?
Beneath the seemingly sincere eyes of the You family head lay a burgeoning ambition.
Xia Mo used her divine sense to observe the barrage of comments on the screen in front of the You family head while also observing the You family head's expression.
Indeed, one could not discern any pretense from the eyes of the You family head; the You family head was truly a master actor.
"Hmm, so?" Xia Mo blushed, just like Yu Niangzi when she was praised. She lowered her head shyly, and her eyes were glistening with tears from the praise.
Xia Mo, with her own face on, made this gesture, and it was so beautiful that the You family head was slightly stunned.
The live stream screen in front of the You family head was flooded with a bunch of emojis with hearts in their eyes, and even more exaggeratedly, people said that their hearts had been stolen by Xia Mo's beauty.
She hadn't expected that simply imitating Yu Niangzi's soft, boneless, and shy appearance would have such an exaggerated effect. Tsk, it seems that even if people from another world are transformed beyond recognition, their aesthetic sense remains the same.
The head of the You family suppressed his wildly pounding heart, his ears turning slightly red. His palms were sweating with nervousness as he swallowed hard and said, "How about this, we get all our cloth from the Xia family's cloth shop?"
"In this way, we can have business to do, and the people can buy cloth cheaply. What do you think?"
What the head of the You family really wanted was the water-powered automatic loom and spinning wheel in Xia Mo's possession, but he knew very well that this purpose could not be revealed.
"I see..."
Xia Mo immediately feigned a conflicted and hesitant expression, lowered her head shyly, and said, "I need to discuss this with my husband."
"Aren't you the head of the Xia family's cloth shop?" the head of the You family asked, feigning surprise.
“Yes, I am the head of the Xia family's cloth shop,” Xia Mo hurriedly replied.
She had already decided that once this matter was settled, she would hand over the Xia family's cloth shop to her eldest brother Xia to manage. This would give him a chance to realize his ambitions, and the family would have another source of income. Not bad, not bad at all.
"Then why can't you make the decision?" the head of the You family asked.
If Xia Moru completely imitated Yu Niangzi's personality, and was pressed by the You family head for an answer, given Yu Niangzi's personality, she would definitely agree.
However, she was only pretending to be Lady Yu; she wasn't truly in love with the head of the You family, the Lady Yu who was so infatuated with him that she was willing to die for him.
Tu
Xia Mo feigned distress and used her divine sense to send a telepathic message to Huangfu Qian, asking him to come to the rescue.
If Huangfu Qian hadn't shown up, she probably wouldn't have been able to control the situation and would have given the head of the You family a good beating, which would have ruined the whole plan.
A moment later, Huangfu Qian, disguised, strode into the small hall.
Xia Mo immediately put on her acting skills, and when she saw Huangfu Qian, her guilty eyes darted around nervously.
Patriarch You's heart sank. He knew that with Huangfu Qian's appearance, things would be difficult to handle. But... he hadn't let Patriarch Xia suffer any losses, had he?
He came to seek cooperation.
"My lord," Xia Mo deliberately spoke in a soft voice, but she appeared timid and submissive.
Tu
Huangfu Qian walked up to Xia Mo and asked directly, "Have you done anything to wrong me?"
On the screen in front of Patriarch You, there were bullet comments instructing him on what to do now.
The head of the You family immediately understood.
The head of the You family first gave Xia Mo a reassuring look, then looked at Huangfu Qian and said solemnly, "Young Master Huang, please don't misunderstand. I have no romantic relationship with the head of the Xia family. I have come here to seek business with the head of the Xia family."
Xia Mo rolled her eyes inwardly.
The words of Patriarch You, seemingly an explanation, actually sounded more like a blatant attempt to cover up the truth, only exacerbating Huangfu Qian's misunderstanding of Xia Mo.
Xia Mo understood, but pretended not to understand the deeper meaning in the words of the You family head, and nodded in agreement: "Yes, the You family head is looking for me to do business."
The head of the You family nodded in agreement.
Many comments scrolled across the light screen in front of the You family head.
Comments: Young Master Huang knows that Lady Yu and Patriarch You were once husband and wife. Hearing Patriarch You say this will only exacerbate the misunderstanding and make Young Master Huang think that the two are about to rekindle their old feelings.
Comments: As long as Xia and Huang are driven apart, given how well Patriarch You knows Patriarch Xia, it will be a piece of cake to control Patriarch Xia.
The comments on the screen were still being spammed relentlessly.
Xia Mo opened her big, watery eyes and looked pitifully at Huangfu Qian, imitating Yu Niangzi and acting soft and vulnerable.
Huangfu Qian: "..."
He knew that Xia Mo was imitating Yu Niangzi's behavior, but... the one looking at him with pitiful eyes was indeed Xia Mo!
A tingling, electric current seemed to surge through Huangfu Qian's heart.
"What kind of business are you in?" Huangfu Qian feigned sympathy for Xia Mo, then looked at the You family head with a serious expression and asked.
After staring intently at Xia Mo, the head of the You family looked at Huangfu Qian and said, "The cloth from the Xia family's cloth shop is indeed cheap. The cloth merchants in Haozhou City are being impacted and facing bankruptcy. Once they go bankrupt, many families will suffer. But it cannot be denied that the cloth from the Xia family's cloth shop is inexpensive, durable, and more popular with the people. So we thought, if we could use the cloth from the Xia family's cloth shop, we could buy it from them and resell it..."
The head of the You family spoke eloquently, as if he were truly there to do something, but he always deliberately gave Xia Mo a reassuring look in front of Huangfu Qian, as if to say: Don't worry, with me here, I won't let Young Master Huang misunderstand you.
In fact, the actions of the You family head are more likely to be misunderstood.
But what the head of the You family didn't know was that Xia Mo was not Lady Yu, and she and Huangfu Qian were not a real couple. Hehe, all of the head of the You family's actions were like casting a seductive glance at a blind man.
Xia Mo was caught up in the situation, yet she watched it all with a detached eye, finding it all rather amusing.
