Although Lu Mingyuan felt a twinge of guilt, he still put on a haughty and arrogant air. "What does Young Master Li mean by that? Doing business is all about mutual willingness. The price of one hundred thousand taels I quoted is already a discounted price offered out of consideration for the favor Young Master Li did me. To be honest with you, Young Master Li, several silk merchants have been coming one after another these past few days, and the prices they offered are not lower than yours. If I weren't waiting for Young Master Li, I would have already sold it."
"A fine discount!" Mu Jinyuan let out a cold snort, her anger flaring even higher. "As far as I know, the Lu's Shop that opened in the city today was opened by Young Master Li's younger sister. The price of the silk sold at Lu's Shop is less than half the price I paid for the silk I bought from Young Master Li. How can Young Master Li still dare to claim you gave me a discount? You've clearly made seventy or eighty thousand taels off me with tears in your eyes! I understand the profits in this!"
Lu Mingyuan was stunned for a moment. What was this man surnamed Li talking about? "Young Master Li has misunderstood. The silk sold in Lu's Shop is not the silk of my Lu Family, which is why the price is so low. We're all doing business, so I always have to make a little profit, but it's definitely not as exaggerated as Young Master Li says!"
