Lu Qingqing ultimately felt sorry for her third uncle and used the excuse of being unwell to wait for Fu Yisheng, avoiding going with the others.
"Third Uncle, you have me. I'll keep you company."
Song Xiuluan hugged her and pretended to cry, "Oh, my dear niece, you're really not like that bunch of jerks! Even your third aunt is so heartless, siding with them instead of me. I'm having such a hard time!"
Lu Qingqing patted his arm and comforted him, "Third Aunt means well. She hopes you don't end up in a bad spot after all this."
It was mainly time for better interactions with those few people anyway.
Adding Zhao Lin to the group and letting her promote her products for Third Uncle wasn't simply about getting those people to buy jade—it was an opportunity for Zhao Lin to integrate into this small circle.
Zhao Lin was smart enough to pick up on this, which is why she gave everyone discounts.
