The Sun Manor was teeming with excitement today.
Because the new girl, Jinghua, introduced by the Yihong Courtyard received an especially positive response, the other girls, though they didn’t capture the essence of the ones from Huamanlou, managed to keep up appearances. This saved the Yihong Courtyard from its increasingly decline.
Grandpa Sun was overjoyed and his previously sick body seemed to have improved. Today, he came personally to organize a celebratory banquet, with the protagonist naturally being Sun Yaowen.
Sun Yaowen had already moved back from the countryside. No one expected that this so-called useless person, the one everyone predicted would never set foot in the Sun Manor again, actually managed to return, leaving everyone within the Sun Manor with mixed feelings.
Sun Yaowen, however, was immensely pleased, his chin held high in self-satisfaction.
"Yaowen has genuinely impressed. Effortlessly reviving the Yihong Courtyard’s business attributes to a great merit on your part. You deserve those two country houses at the West of the City as a reward. Since your illness is now recovered, there is no need for you to continue living in the countryside. It’s best if you come back home; it cannot compare with the peacefulness of the countryside," Grandpa Sun said with a hearty laugh.
Before he had redeeming qualities, he was driven into self-destruction in the countryside.
With the merits, he was treated for illness in the countryside.
Isn’t the way that the Sun family is ruthlessly pragmatic a reflection of old master’s teachings?
Sun Yaowen didn’t care about these things, instead he responded pleasedly, "To earn grandfather’s approval is indeed the greatest honor."
"Ha ha ha, Yaowen indeed knows my heart. Yihong Courtyard revived under your guidance, proving that you also have the ability of stewardship. This Yihong Courtyard, from now on, I will leave it to you to manage," Grandpa Sun replied with a laugh.
At these words, everyone was taken aback.
Sun Yaowen’s eyes instantly brightened up, and he responded with a fist-palm salute: "Yes!"
After the banquet ended, Sun Yaowen was so drunk that he could barely walk straight. As he walked, he burst out laughing, "Did you see the expression on those people’s faces? Ha-ha-ha-ha! Now, my grandfather values me, rewards me with two country houses, and has the Yihong Courtyard entrusted to me. Such a good position, which has landed in my hands, all of those people are green with envy."
While speaking, a burp slipped out due to his intoxication.
The boy helping Sun Yaowen chuckled, "That’s right. How can you be compared to them Master? They are nothing but straw bags, nowhere near as skilled as you Master. Now Master, resurrecting the Yihong Courtyard, you have become the big star in front of old master. He only adores you."
"Yes, that’s right! Wait until the day I annex Huamanlou, and if grandfather is in a good mood, perhaps he might hand over the entire Sun family to me! I can’t wait to see how Big Brother will be arrogant with me then!" Sun Yaowen barked a cold laugh, and even though he could barely stand, he didn’t forget to revel in his triumph.
"Master, be careful!" The boy hurriedly held onto him in fear that he might stumble and fall.
As the two of them had just left Grandpa Sun’s courtyard, they noticed a figure standing on the small path nearby.
To be exact, it was a woman.
Ji Xiulan was recognized instantly by the boy. He had been serving near Sun Yaowen, wasn’t he aware of the love affair between these two? He even frequently helped them cover up their secret rendezvous.
At this moment, the boy cleverly laughed awkwardly, "Master, you chat with Mistress Ji, I will retreat first."
Sun Yaowen sneered, swaggering towards Ji Xiulan.
Ji Xiulan promptly showed concern as she steadied his swaying body, "Why have you drunk so much?"
"I’m happy! Today, I took a great advantage. Why shouldn’t I be thrilled? Ha ha ha." Sun Yaowen’s hand roved on Ji Xiulan’s chest, "What? Seeing me prosper again, have you considered holding onto me and benefiting from it?"
During his time in the countryside, this woman hadn’t cared to ask about him even once.
Ji Xiulan delicately laughed, "What do you mean by that? During those days, when Grandpa Sun was seriously ill, he needed me around. I had to watch over him, and had no time to visit you. Now, seeing you finally returned, my heart has finally settled."
While she was speaking, she subtly lifted her dress, revealing her smooth legs. It was summertime, the clothes already thin. Ji Xiulan teasingly rubbed her leg against Sun Yaowen’s, quickly lighting his lusty fire.
Sun Yaowen snickered lewdly, "It seems that for all these days, I hadn’t been taking care of you. You must have been aching for attention."
"I’ve been more than ’aching for attention’. I’ve been pining for you day and night. You must know, that old man is not capable of anything," Li Xiulan seductively whispered in Sun Yaowen’s ear.
Sun Yaowen immediately pressed her down and claimed her fiercely.
Various sounds of passion began to echo in the small garden.
Sun Yaowen’s boy, Guiyuan, stood at a distance to guard them against unexpected intruders, but his eyes never wandered from the two naked bodies intertwined in the distance. Seeing Ji Xiulan’s lustful and abandoned demeanor, Guiyuan felt a bit of dry mouth, swallowing hard, "No wonder she is voluptuous. How great would it be if I could taste her one day."
After having drink, Sun Yaowen didn’t have much energy left. After having a quick round with her, he lost his mood and began to get up, but was stopped by Ji Xiulan holding onto his sleeve.
"Now that you are prosperous again, even the old man has entrusted the Yihong Courtyard to you. It looks like your good days are coming," Ji Xiulan said in a suggestive tone, implying something unclear.
Sun Yaowen was excellent at coaxing women, and at that moment, he responded with an agreeable smile: "Rest assured, as soon as that old man dies, after I inherit a large amount of the family property, I’ll take you in as my wife and dote on you day and night."
While speaking, he even gave her buttocks a little squeeze.
Ji Xiulan blushed, and scolded him, "You must remember that!"
"What is there that I could not remember?" Sun Yaowen scoffed, "Do I, Sun Yaowen, need the permission of others to take a concubine?"
However, these words were merely meant to appease Ji Xiulan. For now, he was still interested in her body, and so he made whatever promises that she wanted. Whether or not he would actually fulfil his promises in the future depended on the situation.
When Sun Yaowen left after dressing, Ji Xiulan watched his retreating figure feeling vaguely uneasy. She could sense that Sun Yaowen’s interest in her was not as intense as before and if things were to progress that way, there is no possibility of him fulfilling any promises in the future.
Ji Xiulan’s gaze turned grim. Having walked through the muddy waters with him, does he really think he will get away scot-free? Does he really think she, Ji Xiulan, is easy to handle?
Ji Xiulan scoffed coldly. After tidying up her clothes, she decided to leave. Let’s wait and see!
At this time, Sun Yaowen had unsteadily left, but did not go directly back to his courtyard, instead he left Sun Manor.
