Chapter 534: If I touch too much, will my tail go bald? (3)
Outside, the wind and rain were raging, thunder was rumbling, and the withered yellow leaves were rustling, making it feel extremely cold.
Bai Yao stared at the strange man for a long time, not sure what was wrong with his eyes under the white silk, and naturally, she did not dare to ask.
She hesitated for a while and said, "I'm sorry, I went to the wrong house. I'm Bai Yao, I'm here to visit my uncle and grandfather. May I ask who you are?"
In her memory, she didn't remember that there was such a special-looking relative on her mother's side. If there was, she would have been unforgettable the first time she saw him, and she couldn't forget it.
So she asked, "Are you a relative on my uncle's and grandmother's side?"
He laughed and said, "I'm your uncle's grandfather's friend."
This young-looking man was actually the old man's friend, a friend regardless of age?
Bai Yao was still a little doubtful, but the noisy jingling sounds in the house attracted her attention. She looked up and saw wooden wind chimes hanging everywhere in the house. Even if she didn't go to the wrong place and opened the door, the wind and rain would come in through the open window, making the wind chimes jingle all over the house.
He looked like a quiet person, but he didn't mind the noise around him, which was a bit contradictory.
Her uncles arranged for her to live in this remote and desolate courtyard. Maybe they didn't know that there was a special person living here.
Bai Yao explained, "I was looking for my room, but I pushed the wrong door. I'm sorry to bother you."
He smiled, "It's okay."
The atmosphere was silent for a while.
Bai Yao glanced at him for a second longer, "Then I'll go out first, bye."
When she left the room and closed the door, she saw that he was still sitting upright, with a smile on his lips that maintained a fixed arc like a formula. In the tinkling sound of wind chimes, only his temperament was quiet, out of tune with the surroundings.
Bai Yao looked at the closed door, and only the figure with white hair and red clothes still appeared in front of her. The movement of wind and rain brought her back to her senses. She wiped the rain off her face and turned around to find her room.
Inside the house, the colliding wind chimes were noisy.
As the cold wind from the window invaded, several pale spots suddenly fell on the tea table.
He put down the teacup, picked up something on the tea table with one hand, and put it back on his face to make up for the defect. However, after a while, the skin on his wrist broke and fell off like powder. As his sleeves were lifted by the wind, it was vaguely visible that the flesh on his arm had already fallen off like a dead tree.
He no longer tried to pick up the broken things and put them back, but lowered his hands, raised his head and "looked" out the window where the wind and rain were swaying, quietly listening to the bustle between heaven and earth.
Dinner was prepared by the maid aunt brought by my uncle from home. A large family of relatives sat in the restaurant, talking and laughing, happy and harmonious, as if the filth that was born for money in private did not exist.
Bai Yao was probably someone they didn't take seriously. After all, her last name wasn't Wen. Even if the second master was a bit confused, he wouldn't hand over the Wen family's property to someone with a different surname.
Zhou Xu's identity was a bit awkward. He was the nephew of the eldest aunt, but he was the boyfriend of the third uncle's Wen Jiujiu. The eldest uncle and the eldest aunt had some complaints about him, and the third uncle and the third aunt didn't like him either. But Wen Jiujiu was determined to be with Zhou Xu. If anyone didn't let her be with Zhou Xu, she would cry, make a fuss, and even commit suicide.
Zhou Xu was indeed a qualified boyfriend. He always took care of Wen Jiujiu during meals and only picked up the dishes she liked and put them in her bowl.
The third aunt was unhappy, "Jiujiu, take advantage of this holiday, if you have nothing to do, go and teach your brother to study. His grades are terrible, and I don't know if he can get into college next year."
Wen Jiujiu said "Oh", and then said: "Zhou Xu's grades are better than mine, he can teach Wen Ming with me."
"I don't want you to teach me." Wen Ming refused on the spot. Even when he was eating, he put his mobile phone on the table, nodding from time to time, and didn't raise his head several times.
It would be strange if he could get good grades with such a heavy internet addiction.
Wen Jiujiu couldn't get used to her brother's behavior. She said unhappily: "You are a useless person. Zhou Xu and I are too lazy to waste time on you."
Zhou Xu pulled Wen Jiujiu's hand under the table, suggesting that she should save some face for Wen Ming in front of outsiders.
Wen Ming was young and full of energy, and he really exploded at the slightest provocation. He raised his head, and a bit of anger appeared on his handsome face. "Who cares if you teach me? You look down on me, but I look down on you too. I feel annoyed when I see you guys being so affectionate every day!"
Zhou Xu said, "Wen Ming, your sister doesn't mean to look down on you. We are just..."
Wen Ming: "Do you have the right to interrupt when we, the Wen family, are talking?"
Wen Jiujiu stood up angrily, "Wen Ming!"
The third uncle glanced at his wife, thinking that she was always making trouble. What the hell, bringing up the topic for no reason to make others laugh, he showed his father's authority, "Stop talking, just eat!"
Wen Ming was still in the rebellious period, and he didn't listen to his father at all. He sneered and wanted to say something, but someone on the other side of the table said indifferently: "Wen Ming, that's enough."
Wen Ming glanced at his eldest cousin Wen Tingzhi who was speaking. He still gave Wen Tingzhi some face, picked up his phone and turned around and walked out, "I'm done, I'm going back to rest."
The third uncle was so angry with his son that his face turned red.
The eldest uncle and the second uncle quickly said some polite words, saying that the child had grown up and had his own ideas, so he should communicate more. The
eldest aunt glanced at her son, thinking to herself, why did he care about the third uncle's family's affairs? It would be a good scene if their family got into a fight.
Wen Tingzhi's gaze lingered on Wen Jiujiu's angry face for a while, then he looked away and continued to eat, indifferent to the things around him.
Zhou Xu was comforting Wen Jiujiu, and said a lot of soothing words, which calmed Wen Jiujiu down a little.
Bai Yao was just watching the show, she asked Wen Xiaorou beside her, "Is Wen Ming so bad-tempered now?"
She remembered that although Wen Ming was a loner in the past, he was not so violent.
Wen Xiaorou said in a low voice: "Although Wen Ming doesn't like to play with us, he has never been as irritable as he is now. It seems that his temper has worsened since Jiujiu and Zhou Xu started dating. I guess..."
She carefully glanced at the elders over there and said in a low voice: "It's because Third Uncle's family is not happy with Zhou Xu and Jiujiu being together."
Even if there was no Second Master, even if it was the Wen family's assets, the three uncles would definitely fight to the death. Therefore, the relationship between the three families is very delicate. They are relatives, but in fact, they are also rivals.
