Chapter 146 The Furious Wu Erbai
After hearing Wu Erbai's few words, which clearly arranged everything that happened next, Wu Xie couldn't help but stand up suddenly, and the expression on his face twisted for a moment.
He's a grown man!
Second uncle actually wants to marry him off!!!
Wuxie felt that his male dignity was challenged, but when he thought of the persona he had created in front of his second uncle, that he was "deeply in love" with Xiaohua, he suppressed the frustration in his heart.
"Second Uncle... I'm so touched that you can support me..."
He was so moved that he almost cried.
"But you don't have to go to such lengths. You should always consider the other homeless people. It's not worth it to sacrifice so much for my marriage.
And I feel that my hope is not great. Now I have decided to suppress my love deep in my heart and not bother Xiaohua. I just want to protect him silently."
Wuxie's heartfelt words moved her so much that she looked at her uncle with tears in her eyes and hope.
Although Wu Erbai felt that Wuxie's refusal was a bit strange, he didn't doubt his words yet. He just thought that this guy was worried that Jie Yuchen was too straightforward. If he talked about it, they might not even be able to be friends in the end.
"Don't worry about anything at home. If anything goes wrong, I, your second uncle, will take care of it. Xiaohua has always been considerate and tolerant. As long as you pursue her through normal means, you don't have to worry about running out of affection and ending up with no contact between you."
Looking at his second uncle's smiling face, Wuxie could only force a stiff smile.
What should I do? Why did things develop to this point?
Wuxie felt a little anxious. He couldn't help but think about what would happen if he listened to his second uncle and continued to stick to this lie.
I'm afraid that if he goes to deliver flowers today, the story that the third master of the Wu family boldly confesses his love to the head of the Jie family tomorrow and is brutally beaten and thrown out of the house will spread across the streets and become known to everyone!
Moreover, it seems that Second Uncle is going to spend a lot of money on his "dowry". What if Xiaohua can't resist the temptation and agrees to it?
Wuxie's mind worked quickly. Thinking of a previous phone call between him and Jie Yuchen, a good idea suddenly came to his mind.
He needs someone else to take the blame... No, he needs someone else to be his secret crush and act as a shield, preferably someone who will absolutely not agree to his confession.
First of all, in order to make it more reasonable, this person must be someone you know, and he or she cannot be much worse than Xiaohua. At the very least, he or she must be handsome in his or her own style, so that there is a possibility of you "falling in love with someone else".
Wuxie quickly screened the people around him in his mind and finally selected a few people.
The cool young man, the gentle Brother Mo, the handsome blind man, and the delicate Wang Meng also count as half.
The first thing to do is to kick Wang Meng and Hei Xia Zi out.
Wang Meng didn’t know whether these two were his second uncle’s or third uncle’s people. He was worried that if he mentioned his second uncle, he would send them directly to his bed.
Although he didn't have much contact with Hei Xia Zi, he was very uneasy about the other party's pursuit of money.
Who knows how much money his second uncle would be willing to spend for his happiness!
Even though Xiaohua is not short of money, he is worried that the other party will not be able to hold on. What if Hei Xiazi is moved by her and sells his integrity for money?
Wouldn’t it be very dangerous then?
Afterwards, Wuxie hesitated for a moment between Zhang Qiling and Zhang Moyu, and finally chose to let Zhang Qiling be the shield.
When facing Zhang Moyu, he always felt like he was facing an elder, as if the other party might ask him at any time if he had finished his homework.
If he wants to fall in love with someone else, he needs a reason. He can't just say that Zhang Moyu is suitable to be a father-like boyfriend so that he can make up for his loveless childhood, right?
And there was another reason why he chose Zhang Qiling.
That is, Zhang Qiling's personality is much colder than Zhang Moyu's. He is a big iceberg who never jokes. Even if he confesses his feelings many times, he doesn't have to worry that the other party will have any different feelings for him, nor does he have to worry that the young man who despises money and is indifferent to the world will fall under the generosity of his second uncle.
Zhang Moyu was gentle and amiable in his dealings with others. Seeing his second uncle like this, he knew that he had decided to let him go out and chase someone.
Even if I tell him the truth in advance, what if when I am acting, Zhang Moyu is confused by my excellent acting skills and can't tell the truth from the false, and agrees out of pity?
So, should he make the fake become real and go along with it, or should he come clean and accept a beating from his second uncle?
After Wuxie thought it over and gathered his emotions, he followed the same routine as last time and spoke with a look of pain and shame on his face.
"Uncle, to be honest, I've repeatedly refused to pursue Xiaohua because... because I realized that the person I truly love is actually Brother!"
Wuxie blinked his tear-filled eyes, as if filled with immense sorrow. He couldn't control himself and looked up at the ceiling with a sad face.
Wu Erbai, who was next to him, was frozen in place, unable to figure out what was going on for a moment.
"What did you say?"
Wuxie pretended to take a deep breath while yawning, then slowly sighed out and spoke bitterly.
"Actually, I didn't expect that..."
Wuxie wiped the corners of his eyes that were filled with tears due to a yawn with his sleeve, and was ready to use the same trick again to act pitiful first.
However, at this moment, Wu Erbai vaguely sensed something, and his face gradually darkened, but he did not interrupt Wu Xie.
"I always thought I liked Xiaohua, but I was afraid that this feeling would grow bigger and bigger, so I never dared to think about it carefully.
It wasn't until a few days ago when I calmed down that I realized that it wasn't love, but just an obsession that I had since childhood.
The person I really like is the little brother who saved me from danger many times."
Wuxie looked at Wu Erbai with a pair of wet puppy eyes full of affection, as if he wanted to express something.
There was no expression on Wu Er's white face at the moment, but his eyes seemed to be able to see through people's hearts, staring at Wu Xie deeply.
Wuxie was startled by the look in his second uncle's eyes. The flesh on his cheeks trembled unconsciously, and he forced himself to remain calm and put on a forced smile.
Wu Erbai nodded slightly and spoke in an ambiguous tone.
"Go on."
Wuxie felt that something seemed to be wrong, but the arrow was on the string and had to be shot, so he had to continue to perform this play.
"If Xiaohua was the white moonlight of the past, stunning my life. Then Xiaoge is the cinnabar mole of the present, softening my life. How lucky I am to have met both of them in this life..."
Before Wuxie could finish his words, he saw his second uncle turn around and walk towards the storage rack, and he suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart.
Finally, this premonition reached its peak when Wu Erbai pulled out a feather duster that was idly inserted in an antique Qing Dynasty vase that was used as a decoration.
"Second, Second Uncle...what happened?"
Wuxie blinked innocently, feeling a little uneasy.
"Oh, you ask me what's wrong?"
Wu Erbai weighed the feather duster in his hand and an exceptionally gentle smile appeared on his face.
But Wuxie felt that there seemed to be a faint black air floating around him at this moment. The memory of being punished by his second uncle gradually resurfaced, and Wuxie became even more panicked.
"Xiao Xie, you must have used a lot of brain cells to make up these lies. They are so well-organized and literary."
"Uncle, what are you talking about? I don't understand. I can't lie to anyone but you. You are my dearest uncle..."
Wuxie wanted to make a last-ditch effort, but Wu Erbai interrupted his flattering words.
"Shut up! Do I look like a fool to you?"
Wu Erbai's face turned completely dark. He stared at Wu Xie expressionlessly, then raised the feather duster in his hand.
"Your wings are hard, aren't they? You still dare to lie to me, right? Today I want to see how tough the bones in your wings are!"
"Second Uncle! Second Uncle, I was wrong...ah!"
Erjing, who was outside the door, heard screams one after another coming from inside, accompanied by Wu Erbai's cursing and the sound of tables and chairs moving. He shook his head and sighed helplessly.
He had heard everything that had happened outside. Although he felt that the eldest young master was crying miserably, because of the eldest young master's matter, the second master had not been able to eat or sleep well in the past few days. He rubbed his solar plexus every day, thinking about how to have the best of both worlds. This time the eldest young master had indeed gone a bit too far.
You deserve a beating!
