Chapter 269: 262: Message for Miss Wen (Second Update)

Xie Shang: “Call me when you finish work, I’ll come pick you up.”

Wen Changling: “If I finish early, I’ll take a taxi home.”

Wen Changling: “Are you at the law firm?”

Xie Shang took the initiative to report: “I’m at the ski resort, Xiao Huan and Dongzhou are also here”

Wen Changling: “Oh.”

Wen Changling: “I’m going to be busy now.”

Xie Shang: “Did you take your medicine?”

Wen Changling: “Yes.”

Gu Yihuan was left hanging for half the day, feeling neglected and bubbling with grievance.

“Fourth Brother.”

Xie Shang gave him a look.

“Are you still playing or not?”

“I’m not playing.”

Gu Yihuan had a big complaint: “Then why did you come?”

Xie Shang was in a good mood: “You asked me to come.”

“I asked you to come teach me to ski.” Not to come and cuddle with your phone chatting up Wen Changling.

“Ask Dongzhou to teach you.”

Gu Yihuan was exasperated: “…”

So his complaints about He Dongzhou being impatient and prone to scolding were all made to the air.

On an adjacent bench changing shoes, there were two girls, one wearing a white hat, the other wearing a pink hat. The lady in the white hat sighed, and the lady in the pink hat asked what was wrong.

“I’m angry.” The lady in the white hat grabbed the one in the pink hat and started venting, “Let me tell you, my sister is just too love-struck.”

The stories of those love-struck antics were indeed too much to relate in one breath.

“That guy was indifferent to her during their relationship, and now he has dumped her, yet she’s still running after him, begging to get back together. I scolded her about it, and she got upset with me, saying I was prejudiced against her boyfriend.”

Gu Yihuan pricked up his ears and listened with interest.

“She’s gone blind, fair and beautiful as she is, she could have any man she wanted, but she’s hung up on that crooked-necked tree. He doesn’t love her at all; he’s just taking advantage of how easy she is to control. She used to be so confident, but after getting together with that guy, she turned into a completely different person, always worrying about being abandoned. I even suspect she’s been brainwashed.” The lady in the white hat was so angry she was steaming, “And to be closer to that man, she even quit her job and moved to his place to do his laundry and cooking. Her job was so good, she was about to be promoted, and she just quit like that, I could die of anger. Every time she has a spat with that guy, she’s the one to apologize first. And that scumbag, he doesn’t even use protection.”

Lady in the pink hat: “Damn, that scumbag deserves to be struck by lightning.”

“I was actually happy they broke up, but would you believe it, my sister actually chased after him to his hometown.”

“That’s way too love-struck.”

The lady in the white hat was exasperated: “Not enough wild vegetables on the mountain to satisfy her.”

Having heard everything, Gu Yihuan: “…”

Ah, this is kinda awkward.

He couldn’t help but sneak a peek at Xie Shang: Fourth Brother, don’t you feel a bit implicated? Sounds like she’s talking about you.

“Fourth Brother, are you chatting with Wen Changling again?”

“No.”

Xie Shang was replying to his mother, Ms. Su Nanzhi.

Ms. Su Nanzhi was at Luenea looking at a jewelry exhibition and fancied two necklaces, asking Xie Shang which one was more suitable.

Xie Shang: “The blue one.”

Xie Shang: “Can you buy it for me?”

Su Nanzhi: “Are you giving it to me?”

Xie Shang: “It’s more suitable for Miss Wen.”

He Dongzhou and Little Scar said they would return at three-thirty, and he didn’t stay a minute longer, leaving right on time. Gu Yihuan lost interest and didn’t ski, instead following Xie Shang to Lotus Pond Street.

Actually, he just wanted to make sure Wen Changling was treating his Fourth Brother well. Sigh, he could totally understand the lady in the white hat’s feelings.

Wen Changling’s luggage was still in Xie Shang’s car.

Xie Shang first went to Granny Zhu’s courtyard, and Granny Zhu asked him, “Didn’t Changling come back with you?”

“She went to the company, I’m here to drop off her stuff.”

Granny Zhu noticed the person following behind Xie Shang.

With a sweet mouth, Gu Yihuan said, “Hello Granny, I’m Boss Xie’s younger brother.”

Granny Zhu found this “Younger Brother Xie” quite charming: “Hello, hello.”

“You must be Granny Zhu, my Fourth Brother said the food you cook is really delicious.”

Xie Shang never said that.

With a flattering tongue, Gu Yihuan always knew how to compliment, no wonder as a poor student he was still liked by the elders at Flower Chamber Hall, especially the female elders who treated him like a godson, who doesn’t like a sweet-mouthed little coat?

Granny Zhu also liked such sweet-talkers: “Then have dinner here tonight.”

“Sure.”

Having secured dinner, Gu Yihuan happily followed Xie Shang into the yard, and upon seeing the cat in the yard, he complimented, “Really plump.”

Huahua: Meow!

Xie Shang placed Wen Changling’s luggage in her room.

Gu Yihuan followed, and just as he stepped one foot through the door—

“Wait outside.”

Gu Yihuan hummed discontentedly.

The door was ajar, and he saw his fourth brother packing things for Wen Changling, feeling incredibly jealous, “Why are you still packing her luggage? Can’t she pack it herself?”

This isn’t having a girlfriend; this is like raising a little ancestor.

“When I went to boarding school in junior high, not even my mom packed my luggage for me.”

“Why do you talk so much?” Xie Shang closed the door firmly.

Gu Yihuan deliberately raised his voice, playing around and teasing, “Your girlfriend is so scary, not like me, I only know how to pamper my brother.”

Xie Shang: “…”

Shouldn’t have let him come.

“Sister Zhu.”

Visitors arrived in the courtyard: “Sister Zhu, are you home?”

Granny Zhu came out of the kitchen: “How come you have time to visit today?”

It was an old neighborhood sister from the next street over, whom everyone called Mother Dong.

Mother Dong was carrying half a pound of sunflower seeds: “I’m just sneaking some leisure time to chat with my old sister here.”

Mother Dong was a well-known matchmaker for miles around.

It was still early, no rush to prepare dinner, so Granny Zhu brought over some stools, and they chatted idly in the yard.

“Is Xiao Wen home?”

Granny Zhu replied, “She’s gone to work.”

After some preliminary chat, Mother Dong got to the main topic: “You know about Boss Lou who runs the grocery store on Bend Horse Street, right?”

“I know.”

“They made a good sum of money from wholesale fireworks last year,” Mother Dong was cracking sunflower seeds, “Boss Lou has a youngest son who just turned thirty this year, and he’s still single.”

Apparently, she came to play matchmaker.

Granny Zhu waved her hand: “I can’t make decisions about Haomin’s matters.”

“Not Haomin, Xiao Wen.”

Xiao Wen?

Gu Yihuan perked up and listened attentively.

With surprise, Granny Zhu heard that it was a matchmaking proposal for Xiao Wen: “I have even less authority over Xiao Wen’s affairs.”

Granny Zhu was still unaware of the reconciliation between Xiao Wen and Xie Shang.

The neighborhood knew that Xiao Wen had dated Boss Xie from the Ruyi Pawnshop, but they had already broken up; now, marriage was not each other’s concern. Xiao Wen was now known not to wear glasses, and her beauty had become quite famous around Lotus Pond Street.

“Make what decisions? It’s a different era now, we don’t go by those old-fashioned ways.” Mother Dong was very eloquent, “It’s just about letting the young people meet and befriend each other.”

Granny Zhu just smiled, noncommittal.

Mother Dong stood to profit from matchmaking, so she only picked nice things to say: “I’ve seen the youngest son of Boss Lou’s family, he’s quite handsome.”

Gu Yihuan moved a stool over, sitting between Mother Dong and Granny Zhu like a curious child, “How is he handsome?”

Mother Dong took Gu Yihuan for a relative of Granny Zhu, not treating him like an outsider, and hospitably invited him to eat sunflower seeds.

Gu Yihuan didn’t hesitate and grabbed a handful, cracking seeds while listening to the marriage-brokering.

Mother Dong continued, “He’s quite tall, almost one meter eighty.”

Gu Yihuan exclaimed, “Still not one meter eighty, huh.”

Mother Dong went on, “Sunshine-handsome, likes to play ball, and has a particularly strong build.”

“Not one meter eighty, and fat?” Gu Yihuan stared with a pair of clear and innocent big eyes, “Is he also very dark?”

Mother Dong promptly said, “It’s okay for boys to be a bit dark.”

“Already thirty and still a boy,” Gu Yihuan turned to Granny Zhu, “Xiao Wen is just over twenty-five.”

“Older men are more caring.”

“That’s not necessarily the case.”

Mother Dong: “…” So, he’s sabotaging me.

Mother Dong kept praising, “He’s especially filial.”

Better than my fourth brother?

Gu Yihuan, who made friends with everyone, just now turned his backside toward his own cat, Huahua, who now lay at his feet, brushing against him with its tail. He held someone else’s cat with an intimacy like it was his own, “Too filial isn’t good either. What if he’s a mama’s boy?”

Finished with a handful, Gu Yihuan reached out for more sunflower seeds.

Mother Dong swiftly put away the bag of seeds: “He also studied abroad.”

“Wow, really?” Gu Yihuan asked with exaggerated amazement as if he had never seen the world before, “That’s impressive, which school did he attend?”

Mother Dong recalled, “Something… lah.””

Never heard of it.

Gu Yihuan feigned enlightenment, “Oh, a diploma mill.”

“…”

Mother Dong rolled her eyes: “Sister Zhu, who is he?”

Granny Zhu laughed.

Gu Yihuan introduced himself, “I’m the younger brother of Boss Xie from the pawnshop next door.” He said he was thirsty and drank the glass of water Granny Zhu had poured for Mother Dong, but she hadn’t touched, “Carry on, carry on, what other good qualities does the youngest son of Boss Lou’s family have?”

Thinking of prying his sister-in-law away?

Heh. Over his dead body.
