Chapter 111 - Watch That Old Fogey
Chapter 111: Watch That Old Fogey
After hearing Ning Shuang’s report, Su Wen replied, “Alright, I understand. I’ll go over now!”
Suddenly, Xie Yiyi, who was behind him, asked, “Since you already knew before the Lunar New Year, why did you only tell me now?”
Su Wen turned around with a smile on his face. “We’re all family, so we can slowly resolve this matter. After all, the New Year has to be celebrated in a happy manner”
A warm feeling rose in Xie Yiyi’s heart. When Su Wen left, tears welled up in her eyes.
She understood that Su Wen never wanted to do anything to her.
Su Wen arrived at the living room.
Yan Luoying sat there quietly. When she saw Su Wen, she smiled. “Young Master Su, what are you busy with?”
“I’m just having a fling with my concubine. What business can I have?” Su Wen said half-truthfully.
Yan Luoying looked at Su Wen and shook her head with a sigh. “My father brought me some of the specialties in the Northern Border. I brought some over for you.”
At this moment, Su Wen noticed that there was a bag under Yan Luoying’s feet.
Yan Luoying opened the bag. It contained some local products from the mountains and could not be considered expensive. However, Su Wen knew that this contained Yan Luoying’s sincerity.
After all, these things were considered rare in the capital.
Su Wen sighed. Being indecisive only made things worse. He looked at Yan Luoying and said in a deep voice, “General Yan, Lady Yan, let’s be honest today. There’s no need for us to interact anymore. Back then, you didn’t want to marry and neither did I. We agreed to advance and retreat together, so why did Lady Yan go back on her words? I, Su Wen, after examining myself, other than being handsome, rich, talented, and strong, there’s nothing outstanding about me! Why do you want to marry me now?”
Yan Luoying looked at Su Wen in surprise. This guy was really shameless.
However, this shamelessness suddenly seemed so pleasing to the eye.
Suddenly, Yan Luoying said in a sweet voice, “Brother Su Wen, do you think I’m gentle if I behave this way?”
In that instant, Su Wen felt his hair stand on end.
“What… what are you doing?” he stuttered in a horrified tone.
Yan Luoying smiled. “I like you. Don’t you like obedient girls? I’ll be very obedient in the future.”
Su Wen could tell that Yan Luoying was imitating Wu Muyu!
“What are you trying to do!” Su Wen was a little frustrated now.
Yan Luoying stopped smiling and said, “I don’t like to be wishy-washy, so I’ll just say it directly! I like you! And it just so happens that we have an engagement. If that’s the case, why should I back out?”
“But I don’t like you!” Su Wen said.
Yan Luoying finally felt Wu Lie’s pain. It felt terrible to be rejected by the person she liked.
She suddenly realized that to a certain extent, she and Wu Lie were the same kind of people.
If she liked him, she liked him! Since she liked him, she would love him intensely! With such a pure romance in their hearts, it was precisely because of this that she would not compromise with Wu Lie at all. It was because they were people who followed their hearts.
Yan Luoying said, “I’m sorry, but we have an engagement. I’m very satisfied with this engagement, and I definitely won’t back out. Perhaps this will make you hate me, but I don’t want to let go. That’s all. I believe that one day, you will accept me!”
With that said, she stood up and walked to the door. She turned to smile at Su Wen and said, “If you really don’t like me, you can kill me! I won’t resist! But you can’t stop me from liking you!”
As he watched Yan Luoying leave, Su Wen couldn’t help but curse. “F*ck! Lunatic! No wonder she could kill 400,000 people! She doesn’t even care about her own life!”
In Su Wen’s eyes, life was the most precious thing. It surpassed everything one could ever have.
However, it was obvious that this was not the case in Yan Luoying’s eyes.
“Young Master, there’s an old man outside asking to see you. He said he’s Ji Yuchen!” A servant reported.
The frustrated Su Wen stood up and left as he shouted angrily, “Not seeing! Who the f*ck wants to see an old man? Get him to scram!”
Su Wen had never liked this old man from the start!
First, this old man wanted to dig up the past and make the Zhou Emperor resettle old scores. Then, he wanted to drag him to discuss some tax systems. What kind of joke was this?
At the entrance, Ji Yuchen waited anxiously.
The gatekeeper came out and handed back his name card, saying, “My lord has said that he won’t see you!”
Behind Ji Yuchen, a squire was immediately displeased.
“Do you know who my family’s old master is? Even when he met the emperor, he was never refused. Do you know how many people want to invite my family’s old master, but my family’s old master can’t even make it?”
Just as he finished speaking, Zhao Jin walked out of the door and said with a cold smile, “So what? My family’s young master said he won’t see anyone right now! Whoever dares to be impudent, I’ll teach them a lesson. Don’t you see whose residence entrance this is? You dare behave atrociously?”
Before the squire could speak, Ji Yuchen turned to glare at him.
The squire immediately shut up.
Ji Yuchen stepped forward and smiled at Zhao Jin. “Commander, please inform him that this old man is here to apologize.”
Zhao Jin rolled his eyes and said, “Whether you wish to apologize or not has nothing to do with me. I’m just a bodyguard. I came out to tell you that if you dare behave atrociously, I’ll beat you up. As for making a report? Don’t even think about it. If my young master says he won’t see you, then he won’t see you. If I go speak for you and disturb my young master, then the young master will definitely be displeased. Won’t that make me a fool for reporting in the first place?”
Ji Yuchen pondered for a while, then took out a banknote from his sleeve and handed it to Zhao Jin! He thought that Zhao Jin wanted some benefits.
Zhao Jin took a step back and spat, “Pah! You old thing, do you think I’ve never seen money? Look at this place, randomly picking up a brick is sufficient to buy half of your life. Do I look like someone who lacks money?”
Despite his old age, Ji Yuchen had never suffered such humiliation.
However, this old fellow forcefully endured it.
He put away the bank notes and stood at the door. “Then I’ll wait here.”
Zhao Jin said impatiently, “If you want to wait, go to the side. Don’t block the door!”
Ji Yuchen obediently moved to the side. Seeing that he was sensible, Zhao Jin did not say anything else. He entered the house and closed the door!
The retainer hurried to persuade him. “My lord, what kind of status do you have? Why are you acting like this?”
Ji Yuchen said in a low voice, “For the Great Zhou Dynasty’s thousand-year plan, my face is nothing!”
After the old fellow finished speaking, he really stood by the door.
He became a man that could not be moved!
As the sky gradually darkened, Su Wen and his family sat down at the dining table.
Ning Shuang walked to Su Wen’s side and reported in a low voice, “Young Master, that Ji Yuchen is still waiting outside!”
Su Wen frowned. “Still waiting?”
“All this time!”
“Zhao Jin! Zhao Jin!” Su Wen yelled. Zhao Jin’s reply came from the outer residence. “I’m here, Young Master!”
Su Wen instructed loudly, “Take good care of that Old Fogey. If he dares to pee or shit at the door, beat him to death!”
After giving his instructions, Su Wen muttered, “F*ck, if he dares to pee in the corner of my house, I will beat him up!”
