Chapter 735 Confrontation (Part 1)
"yes."
Xun Cheng's smile remained unchanged.
"Didn't I tell you before that the Shui family is now the number one family in Nanhu? As the head of the Shui family, he has a great reputation. I am in Louyang, which is only separated from Nanhu by a border line. Naturally, his name is well-known to me. It's hard for me not to know him."
He raised an eyebrow, "Why? You saw him?"
Ye Chutang blinked his eyelashes gently, "Such a conspicuous face, who can not see it?"
Xun Cheng suddenly realized, "Yes, there have been rumors at the border that Shui Xingqiu has a female appearance and looks like a demon, so it's normal that you can recognize him. But... he didn't disguise himself and came here like this?"
"The people in Beijing don't know what he looks like."
Ye Chutang leaned back in his chair.
"He is whoever he says he is."
The capital city is thousands of miles away from Nanhu. Very few people have heard of Shui Xingqiu's name, and even fewer know him.
Come to think of it, there is no need for him to disguise himself.
"But it seems that the new head of the Shui family does have some courage."
Although he looks to be in his early twenties, he is deep-minded and hard to understand, and should not be underestimated.
Ye Chutang still remembered the look she gave him, which was as still as an abyss, soaked in chilliness.
He had definitely fought through life and death situations.
Xun Cheng didn't care much, "Anyone who can hold the position of the head of the Shui family is naturally not an ordinary person."
As he was talking, Long Jiu walked in with tea.
White mist curls up, hot air rises, and the rich tea aroma permeates the lungs.
Ye Chutang picked up the teacup, rubbed it lightly with his slender fingertips, and then spoke as if unintentionally.
"That Shui Xingqiu, I think he looks a bit like you."
Clang.
For some reason, Long Jiu's hand suddenly shook and some tea spilled out.
He was startled and immediately bowed his head to admit his mistake, "Please forgive me, sir!"
Xun Cheng took the teapot and filled his own cup to 70% full, then joked, "Why is the cup you poured for Miss Ye Er good, but your young master's cup is spilled? I see she is quite comfortable with you, why don't you go with her."
Long Jiu wiped the sweat off his forehead, and felt relieved when he heard this. "How can that be possible? The young master can't be without someone by his side."
As he spoke, he wiped up the spilled tea swiftly.
Ye Chutang's eyes wandered between Xun Cheng and Long Jiu several times, and he sighed, "You are becoming more and more difficult to serve. Long Jiu has been busy with you all the way to the capital, and he has done his duty diligently. Now, he just spilled a little tea, and you want to kick him out?"
Xun Cheng sighed.
"That's right. Miss Ye Er is now rich and powerful, so forget it."
He looked at Xiaowu, who had been well-behaved since he came in.
"This girl was still a tiny thing back then, but now she has really grown up. It's only been a new year, but she looks taller. By the way, I remember she likes cakes, but unfortunately I don't have any prepared." He instructed Long Jiu, "Go to the next street and buy some peach cakes. Oh, and some chestnut cakes and mung bean cakes as well."
Ye Chutang: "...Xiaowu doesn't eat that much, and we'll be leaving soon, so there's no need to bother him."
Long Jiu had just taken a step forward and looked at Xun Cheng again after hearing this.
Xun Cheng was surprised, "Leaving so soon? Aren't you going to have a meal here?"
Ye Chutang looked around and said politely, "You are no different from a poor family. You'd better not eat."
Xun Cheng: “…”
Long Jiu: “…”
I've never seen anyone so obviously disgusted.
Xun Cheng sighed helplessly, "Alright. Actually, I don't have any extra people to serve me, and Long Jiu's cooking skills are not that great. If your little sister can't get used to the food, it will inevitably be unfair to her."
Xiao Wu, who inexplicably felt that he had lost three plates of snacks, said: "..."
Ye Chutang put down the teacup and teased with some curiosity.
"I just said that you look a bit like Shui Xingqiu, why didn't you react?"
Xun Cheng laughed, "What reaction do you want me to have? I haven't seen him in person, so how do I know what he looks like? Besides, the world is so big, it's normal to have people who look alike occasionally, so what's there to worry about?"
He touched his face, thinking about something.
"But now that you mention it, I am a little curious. It is said at the border that Shui Xingqiu has a girlish appearance. He is clearly a man, but he is more beautiful than a woman. Can my face... resemble his?"
Xun Cheng has a completely different appearance and temperament.
He has bright features and a gentle temperament, making people feel like they are in the spring breeze. He is truly a gentleman of honor.
However, Shui Xingqiu had a delicate and enchanting appearance, and he exuded an invisible but unignorable murderous aura.
From this point of view, the two people are really very different.
but……
Ye Chutang just felt like it.
"Bone physiognomy."
Ye Chutang groaned, his eyes still fixed on Xun Cheng's face.
"At first glance, they do look alike."
Xun Cheng let her look at him, still smiling, "So I'll take your words as a compliment, right?"
Instead, he seemed to be in a good mood and was willing to be teased and commented on.
——If Ye Chutang had never seen him take action, he might really think so.
"It's almost time, we should go." Ye Chutang stood up and didn't plan to stay any longer.
If Xun Cheng can't get the answer here, then there's no need to waste time.
"I'll send the rest of your medicine tomorrow. As for the wine..."
Ye Chutang paused.
"Since you have an idea in mind, it's up to you."
Xun Cheng bowed and smiled, "Then I would like to thank Miss Ye Er for her generosity."
Ye Chutang took Xiaowu a few steps and stopped at the door, slightly tilting his head.
Long Jiu seemed a little puzzled, "Miss Ye Er, do you have anything else to say?"
"No." Ye Chutang raised his eyebrows slightly, "Your son's health has improved a lot in recent days. I think it's all thanks to your careful care."
Long Jiu lowered his head, "It's all thanks to Miss Ye Er's miraculous healing. Long Jiu just did what he should do."
Ye Chutang suddenly turned around and asked,
"How long do you plan to stay in the capital this time?"
Xun Cheng showed some surprise.
"This... naturally we have to wait until we are fully recovered. You are not halfway through the treatment and don't want to continue, right?"
Ye Chutang: “…”
She looked at Xun Cheng's legs speechlessly.
This is really an irrefutable reason.
Xun Cheng paused and said slowly, "If you really can't bear to part with the wine, then I can pay for it next time..."
Ye Chutang turned and left impatiently.
This is how it is when dealing with smart people. Sometimes it saves you the trouble, but if the other party is determined not to reveal any information, then no matter how much you ask, you won’t get any information.
Xun Cheng raised his head and said, "Long Jiu, why don't you go and see him off——"
"No need."
Ye Chutang raised his hand without even turning his head.
"Also, since your leg is almost healed, don't always cover yourself with that blanket. Go out for a walk more often. The scenery of the capital is worth seeing."
Xun Cheng's eyebrows jumped slightly.
