Chapter 379: Transfer of Estate
Translator: Lonelytree
“Of course, the more, the better!” Lin Yuelan said, “at least one hundred Mu!”
She wanted to be the world’s richest landowner and the world’s first female tycoon. How could she not have land?
The few of them were surprised again.
Why would she need so much land? Was she planning to farm for the rest of her life?
This was obviously not possible.
Jiang Zhennan listened to her words and said, “I do have a few land estates which were awarded by the Emperor. It’s about a thousand mu…”
Before Jiang Zhennan could finish his words, he was interrupted by Lin Yuelan. Her starry eyes sparkled as she asked in disbelief, “How many Mu did you say you have?”
“It’s about a thousand mu.” Jiang Zhennan repeated.
This time, Lin Yuelan calmly nodded, “Oh!”
The few of them looked at Lin Yuelan with some doubt.
She was obviously very excited just now. Why did she suddenly calm down? This didn’t seem like her at all.
“I’m planning to give them all to Miss Yue ‘Er!” Jiang Zhennan said very seriously.
Lin Yuelan nodded again, “Oh. What…” She was shocked and asked in disbelief, “What did you just say?” Did he say he was going to give her a thousand Mu of land?
Jiang Zhennan continued patiently, “I plan to transfer all the land estates under my name to miss Yue ‘Er. Will Miss Yue ‘Er accept it?” The latter part of his sentence was said with some apprehension.
He didn’t know if this was the right thing to do, but seeing her so excited about farming, he just wanted to give all the fields under his name to Lin Yuelan.
Lin Yuelan immediately asked in excitement, “Is that true? Are you really going to give me all the land under your name? You’re not making fun of me, are you?”
When he heard the last sentence, Jiang Zhennan furrowed his eyebrows. He was very dissatisfied. Jiang Zhennan said, “Miss Yue ‘Er, I’m very serious. I didn’t lie to you!” He would never lie to her.
Lin Yuelan immediately nodded and said, “okay. Since you want to give it to me, I’ll reluctantly accept it.” After all, why would she give up this offer?
The others looked at Lin Yuelan’s innocent face and couldn’t help but twitch their lips.
After a while, Lin Yuelan thought of a problem and asked, “masked uncle, you said that these country estates were bestowed to you by His Majesty. Can you make the decision to transfer them to me without going through the Majesty? If I was captured for taking possession of the Royal property, I’d haunt you even after I die!”
Jiang Zhennan explained, “No. Since these estates were given to me as a reward, they are my personal property. Therefore, I have the right to do anything I want with them. The Emperor won’t care about this. So, Miss Yue ‘Er, don’t worry.”
When he heard Lin Yuelan happily accept his offer, he couldn’t help but sigh in relief. He was really afraid that Lin Yuelan wouldn’t accept such a gift.
Lin Yuelan was also relieved. She was very happy and confident as she said, “alright, I’ll happily accept your estate!” Then, she stretched out her hand and said, “give it to me!”
Jiang Zhennan looked at the stretched-out hand and asked in confusion, “what?”
“The title deed!” Lin Yuelan said matter-of-factly, “Since you said you’re going to transfer the land to me. What if you suddenly decide to take the land back after I’ve planted crops on it?”
Jiang Zhennan’s face darkened. He couldn’t help but think to himself, ‘Do I look like such an unreliable, untrustworthy, and despicable person?’
Jiang Zhennan said seriously, “Miss Yue ‘Er, don’t worry. I have always kept my word. I will not do something like that.”
“It doesn’t matter.” Lin Yuelan said, “I only believe things I can hold in my hand. So the deed, please.”
Guo Bing couldn’t stand Lin Yuelan’s shamelessness. He spoke on behalf of Jiang Zhennan, “Miss Lin, my boss is definitely a gentleman who keeps his word. Miss Lin, please believe my boss this once!”
However, Lin Yuelan only shrugged, “I will only trust the thing I can hold in my hands!”
Guo Bing sighed. He didn’t say anything else. It would save both sides the trouble.
Jiang Zhennan looked at Lin Yuelan helplessly and said, “I’m sorry! I don’t have the deeds with me. Back then, I only brought some silver and left the residence without packing anything.”
“So, are the deeds still in your general’s residence?” Lin Yuelan asked.
Jiang Zhennan readily admitted, “yes!”
The atmosphere suddenly became quiet again. The way they looked at Lin Yuelan immediately became cautious for fear that they would suddenly cause her to explode.
Lin Yuelan looked at their serious expressions and couldn’t hold it in any longer. She laughed, “haha, your expressions are so funny!”
A few of them were baffled by Lin Yuelan’s sudden laughter. However, when they saw her teasing expression, they immediately understood that she was just joking with them.
“Were you guys shocked by my acting just now?” Lin Yuelan asked curiously. They were not only shocked but also frightened!
Miss Lin was normally not such an aggressive person to her friends. They were wondering why she was being so insistent. So she was just acting to tease them!
