Chapter 178 [Feeling sorry for my brother]

The classmates in the class were amused by the smooth transition between He Lin's two expressions and the old housekeeper's words which were so well-spoken.

@周居善 (Grand Chamberlain): Oh my god, this line sounds so familiar! Isn't it the same line celebrity fans often say, "My brother has a 40-degree fever and insists on rehearsing despite being sick. It's so pitiful! I feel so sorry for him!"

@Yan Chaoyue (Grassland Khan): Li Li, you're really good at this. You've fully utilized the advantages of being a big star.

@Guan Yue (Bandit Sister): Age is the key! This old butler is also a seasoned actor. Xue Wei and the butler had such a short time discussing the scene, and the butler's emotions and tone were perfectly captured.

The old butler is still outputting at this time!

His tone was filled with bitterness: "Young Master, you were already forcing yourself to appear today, and just now you spent a lot of effort to subdue this crazy horse."

"You know, our Master hasn't slept well for three days and three nights! And he still has to face Master Xia's harassment."

Everyone recalled the scene where the old butler had just chased after Xia Guangquan, and they all felt that the master and servant were so pitiful.

At this moment, He Lin, who was supported by Uncle Zhang, slapped himself directly, forced himself to cheer up, and stood up again without the support of the old housekeeper: "I'm fine, I'm fine, don't worry."

Everyone in the class group: ???

Ruthless person!

This play is still too comprehensive.

He Lin's refreshing slap hit himself on the face, and it hurt the hearts of all the distinguished guests present!

"These are what I should do as the shopkeeper."

After He Lin stood up, he pulled the old housekeeper and said, "Okay, Uncle Zhang, stop talking. Why are you saying this to the guests?"

Uncle Zhang thought to himself: Young Master, I have said everything I need to say. Didn’t you ask me to say it?

However, he still looked very cooperative: "Master, why are you doing this?"

The guests all expressed their understanding of He Lin's current situation: "I feel sorry for Mr. He!"

"Everything about the flower viewing banquet is the result of Master He's hard work. Every detail reflects Master He's sincerity, but now it's going to be burned down."

"Mr. He, you should go back and have a good rest. My sisters and I are very satisfied with today's flower viewing banquet."

The distinguished guests surrounded He Lin and asked him about his well-being, showing great consideration, while Xia Guangquan was severely ridiculed by them.

Looking at the "pitiful" He Lin, Xia Guangquan felt a chill in his heart and ordered the servants to drag He Lin out.

With so many noble ladies surrounding He Lin, Xia Guangquan's servants hesitated and dared not take action again. They were not like Xia Guangquan who had a golden medal of immunity from death.

"You bunch of cowards, you don't even dare to make a move? Look, I'm going to throw a pot of wine on him to wake him up!"

Xia Guangquan took off the wine bag from his waist. He Lin, this pretty boy, must have put on makeup, otherwise why would his face be so white?

Seeing that Xia Guangquan was about to throw the wine, He Lin used all his strength to protect the noble lady beside him behind him!

Xia Guangquan poured the entire pot of liquor onto He Lin's face!

"Hiss, so cold."

After He Lin was splashed, his body swayed, as if he was trying hard not to faint.

He looked up at Xia Guangquan, his eyes firm and stubborn. "Thank you for the wine and hospitality, Master Xia. I wonder if after I drink this pot of wine, Master Xia will calm down and let me go."

After being splashed in the face, He Lin's long eyelashes were covered with water droplets.

The wine flowed down his deep and handsome profile, along his delicate jawline and into the depths of his slender neck, looking so pitiful.

How could these noble ladies in ancient times have ever seen such a scene?

I was completely fascinated by it!

Young Master He is so miserable, they want to protect the best Young Master He!

The girls who were protected behind He Lin looked at He Lin with eyes that were almost tearful.

"Xia Guangquan, what are you doing?! Master He is already so sick, and you're still throwing wine?"

"Do you really think you can do whatever you want just because you have a golden ticket to immunity from death? I want my father to join forces with the other uncles to file a complaint against you!"

It would have been fine if Xia Guangquan hadn't gone so far as to provoke them in the past, but now what Xia Guangquan did is really too much. The victims are numerous and powerful. How could they be afraid of competing with the Xia family if they united?

Xia Guangquan looked at the wine he had spilled. Not only did it not embarrass He Lin, but it made everyone more supportive of him?

No, except for him, no one else can tell that He Lin is pretending?

"He Lin just rode down on my horse, calling me a villain and a rat. Now that you're here, he's pretending to be sick to gain your sympathy!"

Xia Guangquan was furious. Did these people have no eyes?

"Are you all stupid? Are you blind and don't have your brain with you when you go out?"

"Mr. Xia, be careful with your words!"

He Lin interrupted Xia Guangquan and said, "If you want to hit or scold me, come at me. Speak harshly to the women in the family is not the behavior of a gentleman."

"The young ladies in the capital have been taught by their tutors and teachers since childhood. They are all calm and graceful, smart and clever, and each has extraordinary talents."

He said in a neither humble nor arrogant tone: "And what qualifications do you, Mr. Xia, who disregards the law and rides a horse while drunk, have to judge you ladies?"

He Lin protected the distinguished guests in his words and deeds, and naturally praised the ladies. The girls' hearts were completely controlled by He Lin.

@Jiang Lili: Student council member, learn from this! This is the art of speaking. @Xue Wei

@薛蔚: I suddenly understand what you girls mean by "green tea" behavior. Seeing me makes me want to beat up He Lin!

@Hou Xiaoxiao: He Lin, you're done. From now on, matchmakers will trample down the threshold of your house when you're looking for a partner.

"Just now, when I thought that the ladies might be in danger, I couldn't help scolding them in the heat of the moment. Now that I see they are all safe, I feel relieved."

He Lin retreated to advance, his words watertight: "If I have offended you, I will apologize to Master Xia. Master Xia, if you have any problems, come to me. I will take responsibility for my own actions."

Xia Guangquan was furious when he saw He Lin's dead look: "Are you still pretending?"

But this sentence was like a match into a powder keg, causing the ladies to be even more dissatisfied and unable to bear it any longer:

"Don't be ridiculous! He's already so pitiful, why is he still pretending?"

"Stop making trouble here."

"Xia Guangquan, you are a bad person yourself, so naturally you think everyone else is bad."

......

Xia Guangquan felt very wronged at this moment: "I...you..."

Especially since even though his followers had rubbed the mud off his body, the stench of pickled fox urine made everyone look at him and talk to him with disgust. Those looks were like needles, piercing his self-esteem.

He was so angry that veins popped out of his temples. The feeling of telling the truth but no one believing it was more painful and aggrieved than getting beaten up!

Xia Guangquan had never suffered such grievances since he was a child, but beating He Lin now would only make these young ladies from official families feel more sorry for He Lin and help the He family's business to reach a higher level.
