Chapter 55: To Whom Are You Attracted To?
“Perhaps it’s Young Master Ling? Or Young Master Mo? Maybe Young Master Ming? Or…” Chu Wuyou frowned as she mentioned each name while tapping her fingers.
The men who were called out by Chu Wuyou were taken aback and looked at Chu Ninger knowingly.
They were not the only ones who regarded Chu Ninger this way. Many people in the hall also looked at her differently.
“What are you talking about?” Chu Ninger started to panic. She could no longer maintain her usual ladylike demeanor. She instead raised her voice without warning as she cried out in anger and frustration.
“Oh dear, Second Young Lady Chu is agitated.” Fifth Young Master Shen chuckled happily as he looked on from upstairs. “Looks like First Young Lady Chu knows a lot.”
“Indeed.” Ye Lanchen raised his eyebrows. Chu Wuyou went to Country M five years ago. She became aware of Chu Ninger’s matters after being back home for less than a fortnight.
Most people did not know about this, including the men who were called out. How did she know about this, then?
Thus…
“Am I wrong again? Sorry, but I really have no idea who you truly like, Sis.” Chu Wuyou pouted and lowered her voice as she spoke in a seemingly wronged manner. “I did see Young Master Mo sending you home at 1 a.m. the day before. He gave you a big bouquet of red roses and you smiled so happily, Sis.”
1 a.m.? Was this too much information?!
Young Master Mo’s expression darkened. Everyone present was highly-educated and they knew Chu Wuyou was telling the truth when they saw Young Master Mo’s reaction.
Chu Ninger’s heart started to beat fast. She looked at Chu Wuyou as if she had seen a ghost.
Chu Wuyou contemplated with knitted brows and continued to speak, “The other day, I saw Young Master Ling as well…”
Chu Ninger began to shudder and her expression grew uglier. Her relationships with various men were well-kept secrets and the men did not know each other. So, how did Chu Wuyou find out about them?
People began to pass remarks in the hall and they were undoubtedly offensive.
Li Min had accompanied Elder Chu into the hall earlier and saw everything that happened. For one fleeting moment, Li Min wanted to rip Chu Wuyou apart.
‘This little b*tch is such a troublemaker! I shouldn’t have let her off last time!’
“Wuyou, why do you look so unhappy? Come, tell your aunt.” A kind and concerned smile spread across Li Min’s face suddenly. Her voice was soothing and gentle.
“Oh.” Chu Wuyou turned to regard her aunt as if she had just realized her presence. She instinctively covered her mouth with her hand and nodded firmly. “I understand, Aunty. I can’t say it, I can’t say it outside.”
Li Min was annoyed when she heard Chu Wuyou’s remark. It felt so awkward and uncomfortable.
“Don’t worry, Aunty. I’m not going to mention anyone else.” Chu Wuyou nodded as she made a sincere promise.
Chu Wuyou was only aware of that handful of men. She could not name any more of them. Still, it was sufficient.
The more she tried to hide something, the more revealing it seemed, and people began to get wrong ideas.
Li Min was so annoyed that she felt as if she was going to get a stroke. She did not imagine that her attempt at shutting Chu Wuyou up would have led to this outcome.
“Wuyou, your Grandpa organized this banquet especially for you. Is there anyone you see fit?” Li Min understood that she must switch the subject now to divert the crowd’s attention.
Li Min obviously had another intention when she asked this question. She wanted to embarrass Chu Wuyou.
“Yes,” Chu Wuyou replied quickly and smiled.
The crowd was stunned and everyone looked at her.
“Ah, really? I wonder whom First Young Lady Chu is attracted to.” Upstairs, Fifth Young Master Shen stole a glance at Third Young Master Ye and smiled slyly.
Ye Lanchen looked at Chu Wuyou knowingly.
