In the afternoon, Yu Wuhen arrived at a room in the fifth-floor tower of Merry. He opened the door and walked in.
“Lord Yu, you’re here! I requested that you come in hopes of discussing the matter of compensation,” said Xu Qingjue who leaned against the seat of honor with his head held up high.
Yu Wuhen walked straight ahead with no emotion on his face, and took a seat in front of Xu Qingjue. “How much compensation are you looking for?” He said coldly.
Xu Qingjue tapped his fingers loudly on the table as if he was making calculations. After a short while, he said, “Twenty million taels. No more, no less. You must know that it has been nine days since I came looking for you at Lake Fanyan. At the time, you said that you’ll give me ten million taels for a three days extension. Now, I’ve given you nine days. According to what you said, you should give me thirty million taels. I’m really going easy on you for asking for twenty taels.”
Yu Wuhen remained emotionless, as he flatly replied, “Didn’t the Xu family’s measles heal on its own two days ago?”
“Yes, it did. However, two days ago was two days ago, Lord Yu. Nine days was nine days ago. You told me that you would give me ten million taels, but it has been nine days now.”
“Didn’t you refuse the money at the time?”
“At the time, I felt that you were looking down on me. But now, I’ve thought things through. You weren’t patronizing but handling things according to protocol.
Yu Wuhen continued to look stone-faced, as he grabbed the cup and leisurely sipped his tea. He smelled the sweet scent which triggered a faint smile.
In contrast, Xu Qingjue furrowed his brows. Lord Yu truly couldn’t be moved. He always had a calm and stoic feeling about him during the few times that they met. It felt as if he had everything planned.
“Will you give me twenty million taels for not? Answer!” asked Xu Qingjue furiously with furrowed brows. He really was fed up of seeing his dark expression.
“Let’s talk about that later,” Yu Wuhen said flatly.
With that, he no longer bothered with Xu Qingjue.
Xu Qingjue couldn’t quite figure out what Yu Wuhen was thinking. Since Yu Wuhen had half his face hidden behind the gold mask, he couldn’t even see whether he was furrowing his eyebrows.
Clap clap… Xu Qingjue clapped his hands helplessly. Soon enough, music started to play behind the curtain.
The joyful music was pleasant on the ears. There were sounds of the flowing river and the cry of birds. It made one imagine a gust of wind blowing over bells.
Just then, a woman in a white dress and a white veil which covered half her face walked softly out from the group of ten dancers dressed in light pink.
The dancer in the white dress only revealed her soul-captivating, sharp eyes with heavy makeup. She wore a hair accessory covered in pearl tassels, which swayed energetically. Further down, the woman in the white dress had a voluptuous body and fair skin that matched the beautiful white ensemble. She had a slender waist which one could easily hug an arm around. Her fair, toned thighs were slightly exposed, allowing people to fantasize about her.
Xu Qingjue already couldn’t close his gaping mouth. Among the ten dancers, the one dressed in white was the fairest and slimmest. Also, despite only half her face was revealed, her eyes were truly seductive. With a single glance, one could tell that she had the natural attributes to attract people.
After Yu Wuhen saw the dancer in white, he slowly clenched his fists. Why did that dancer’s eyes look so similar to Chuchu’s? Also, her body was flawless. Were there such coincidences in the world?
Chu Qingchuan’s gaze accidentally met Yu Wuhen’s and her whole body instantly tensed up. She took a deep breath to calm down, then started to arch her bottom. Her hand reached out as if to pluck a flower, then she continued to put her hand to her mouth. With both hands clasped together, she spun around and kneeled on the ground like she was offering the flower to the man she saw in front of her.
The man in front of her was obviously Yu Wuhen.
Xu Qingjue was instantly upset. He should be the person Qing’er faces. What was the meaning behind facing that ugly, disfigured Yu Wuhen?
What a buzzkill!
