Chapter 598 - 598 Limelight 2
598 Limelight 2
After seeing one person after another, Su Xiaolu still did not see the person she wanted to see.
After today, Su Xiaolu ate with Gui You. She couldn’t help but ask, “Master, when do you think Madam Miao will come?”
With such a good thing around, didn’t she want to fight for a good opportunity for her precious son?
“Tomorrow.”
Gui You said calmly.
The news of Li Yu’s recovery had only spread today. Madam Miao would definitely know. More news today would make her make up her mind, so Madam Miao would definitely come tomorrow.
She and Gui You had already investigated Little Niu’s matter yesterday. The master and disciple had spared no expense to set up this trap just to wait for Madam Miao to take the bait.
If Madam Miao came early, the trap would end early.
Thinking of Li Yu’s story, Su Xiaolu couldn’t help but mutter, “I really hope that Wang Mian will come tomorrow. Their story is really exciting.”
Gui You nodded. “Indeed.”
But even if Wang Mian came, the ending would probably not be good, because Li Yu was not a magnanimous person.
However, this had nothing to do with them. They were just people listening to stories.
Looking at Su Xiaolu, Gui You’s eyes darkened. He knocked on the table. “Girl, remember to stay away from Li Yu. Don’t be fooled by his appearance.”
Su Xiaolu was already 13 years old. It was about the time for her to fall in love. It was inevitable that little girls liked people who were good looking. Li Yu was handsome and capable. It was undeniable that he was quite charismatic. His appearance could also deceive people.
Su Xiaolu was drinking soup and choked.
She coughed a few times before calming down. She stretched out three fingers and swore, “Don’t worry, Master Gui You. I definitely won’t be deceived.”
Li Yu was good-looking, but she did not like him. In terms of looks, Zhou Zhi was even better-looking than him. Her eldest brother, second brother, and third brother, Zhou Heng, were all as good-looking as Li Yu, so Li Yu’s looks were not that special in her eyes.
She didn’t want to fall in love at all.
Damn… Su Xiaolu felt very helpless about this. In ancient times, women were usually young to get married. If she didn’t get married in her twenties, she would already be an old nun in the eyes of others.
Su Xiaolu pondered for a moment and finally said, “Master Gui You, what if I never get married like you and my Master?”
Gui You looked at Su Xiaolu and pondered.
He wondered if he and the old man had set a bad example for the girl. He was not married, and the old man was not married either. Su Xiaolu had learned from them and her thoughts were already different from ordinary women. Her thoughts had already jumped out of the common thinking of women.
Getting married and having children were not necessary in Su Xiaolu’s opinion.
After pondering for a while, Gui You looked at Su Xiaolu and said, “That’s fine. Your Master and I are both in good health. It won’t be a problem for us to protect you for another forty to fifty years. If you don’t married, you’ll probably go see the world. Go to the steep cliff and watch the waterfall flow down three thousand feet. Go to the endless wilderness and watch the sun set and rise. Eat food that you can’t imagine. Know people that you can’t imagine and see all kinds of darkness that you can’t imagine. That’s about it.”
If she didn’t want to marry, then she wouldn’t. He and the old man didn’t mind bringing her along.
It was not bad to bring her around the world.
She could see the sea, the wind, and the snow. This was much better than those women who were stuck at home and resented the heavens.
“However, even if you’re married, don’t stop. There are too many good sceneries in this world. Beautiful people and things are everywhere. Don’t stop yourself from soaring because of love.”
Gui You rarely said so much. He did not know if he was right. He just thought so, so he said that.
Although Su Chong was his true disciple, he had unknowingly become like the old man and was especially concerned about this girl.
“Thank you, Master Gui You.”
Su Xiaolu smiled happily. She was really too happy.
She had never felt restrained. In her previous life, and in this life.
After dinner, she washed up and went to bed.
Tonight was very quiet.
On the third day.
The people who came to challenge today were only here for fun and luck. After being washed back by the water three times, everyone tactfully dispersed.
There were very few people who wanted to try their luck. Those who had the financial resources began to fight.
In the morning, Su Xiaolu sold ten pills for 10,000 taels of silver.
At noon, a special guest came. He was pushed in.
Su Xiaolu knew who he was the moment she saw him. He was the brother Wang Jiang mentioned, Wang Mian.
Wang Mian was much better-looking than Wang Jiang. His expression was cunning. Perhaps it was because he had been unhappy for a long time, but his complexion was not good. He looked at Su Xiaolu with an unfriendly gaze. Even his disguise was gone.
After the door closed, Wang Mian said coldly, “I’m sure you two already know who I am.”
Su Xiaolu nodded and smiled. “I do. Previously, your brother and your enemy exchanged stories for medicine and only spent a thousand taels. What about you?”
Wang Mian’s eyes darkened, and he chuckled. He gripped the wooden chair with both hands, and the veins on the back of his hands bulged like earthworms. His expression was sinister and terrifying.
“Then I won’t beat around the bush. Listen to what I have to say.”
Wang Mian’s eyes darkened. He gritted his teeth and said, “I’ve been smart since I was young, but I’ve always been surpassed by Li Yu. Li Yu is lively and cheerful, and others always say that I’m too deep in thought and that I’m not childlike. People always liked him very much. Those madams always smiled at Li Yu, but when they saw me, they despised me.”
“This was because my mother was a concubine. My mother was once a singer. They looked down on her. My mother always taught me to fight for my pride and be the best and strongest. I had to be stronger than Li Yu. Li Yu was smart, but he couldn’t win against a woman. I only spent a lot of money to find a courtesan from outside to act, and he fell for it. I wanted to destroy him, and I did it. You don’t know how happy I was when I provoked him in front of Li Yu. Hmph, isn’t he the little sun that people said he was? Let’s see if he’s still bright—”
“The only thing I missed was that Li Yu wasn’t as harmless as he looked on the surface. I thought that he was going to be unable to recover from this setback, but I didn’t expect him to pull himself together so quickly and even take revenge on me. He’s really hypocritical. Everyone in Yulin pitied him. They pitied him for being infatuated and for breaking off the engagement. However, no one knew that he had long taken revenge on the person who schemed against him. That woman is probably in a miserable state now. With Li Yu’s methods, how can he let her live comfortably?”
“Although I failed, I don’t regret it. If Li Yu can have a new life, so can I. This is an opportunity. How is it? Are you satisfied with my story?” Wang Mian stared at Su Xiaolu and asked in a low voice.
