Wang Tianba grinned widely, his heart pounding with anticipation at the thought of soon winning the heart of his beauty. His mouth, however, became unrestrained.
"I'm relieved that Miss Cuihua is alright. I've been drinking turtle soup for over a month and wolfberries for over half a month, just waiting to enter the bridal chamber. I'll make sure to serve Miss Cuihua so well and make her feel wonderful, so that she'll never forget it."
Seeing that he was talking nonsense without any restraint, Wu Shiren's face immediately darkened. "Young Master Wang, you'd better watch out. Eating too much of that stuff will cause internal heat. Don't make your nose and mouth bleed."
Wang Tianba couldn't tell the difference between good and bad words, nor could he discern the subtle nuances in Wu Shiren's expression; he simply assumed Wu Shiren cared about him.
He waved his hand dismissively, "Don't worry, father-in-law. Your son-in-law may not have any other skills, but this is an expert. Let me tell you, drinking turtle soup with cinnamon will draw the fire back to your dantian, forming a surge of righteous yang energy. This is called 'guiding fire back to its source,' and it's supremely good for tonifying the kidneys. Anyone who's tried it knows; it's truly intoxicating, and you'll never tire of it..."
Hearing his foul language, Wu Shiren's face grew increasingly ugly. What kind of person was this? Compared to the steady Chen Feng, he was simply a disgrace to humanity!
He hated Chen Feng even more in his heart. For a worthless secret recipe, he had abandoned his beautiful daughter and forced him to marry Cuihua to such a scoundrel.
He wanted to reprimand Wang Tianba, but was afraid of offending Elder Wang, so he could only listen patiently...
Seeing his son's increasingly outrageous remarks, Wang Qizhang felt a burning shame on his face. He glared fiercely at Wang Tianba and shouted sternly,
"Shut up! You're spouting nonsense! Don't you know any shame?!"
Wang Tianba fears neither heaven nor earth, except for the fact that his father calls him Tianba.
Seeing his father glare at him, he quickly shut his mouth and stopped making a sound.
Wang Qizhang looked at Wu Shiren and smiled. "Brother Wu, I'm relieved that Cuihua hasn't contracted any acute or strange illness. I've troubled you today, but I have other matters to attend to, so I'll take my leave now."
After saying this, he got up to take his leave.
Wu Shih-ren felt relieved; he had finally managed to fool them. He could leave now!
He thought this to himself, but he still had to be polite on the surface, "Brother Wang, it's rare for you to come all this way, why don't you stay for a simple meal?"
"Brother Wu, no need to be so polite. Let's meet again another day." After saying this, Elder Wang called out to Wang Tianba, who was still sitting there, "Let's go, Tianba."
"Dad, why don't we eat here? I can leave after I see Cuihua."
Wang Tianba was harboring ill intentions; a wicked plan was brewing in his mind.
He wanted to take the opportunity to get Wu Shiren drunk, and then sneak into Wu Cuihua's boudoir to release his pent-up desires, since he had been itching to get to that point lately.
Upon hearing this, Wu Shiren's heart, which had just settled down, jumped again, and he felt like slapping himself.
What a smartmouth!
If the father and son stay for dinner, they'll be treated to good food and wine, but if they see Cuihua's face again, won't they be exposed?
Just as he was wondering how to respond, Elder Wang glared at him and said, "Tianba, Cuihua will be married in a few days. There's no rush. Let's not bother your Uncle Wu."
"Alright!" Wang Tianba reluctantly got up and took his leave.
Wu Cuihua had already heard from Wu Duoduo that Wang Qizhang and his son had come to her house, and she was overjoyed.
These days, I'm so grateful to Chen Qingqing. If she hadn't spread the news about his baldness, his father probably would have kept it a secret.
She had been worried that the message wouldn't reach Wang Tianba's ears, but it seems she had been overthinking it.
To allay Wu Shih-jen's suspicions, Wu Cuihua wrapped her head tightly with a headscarf inside the house.
He then casually walked into the courtyard and bumped into Wang Tianba, who was just about to leave.
She feigned a panicked look and turned to leave...
When Wang Tianba saw Wu Cuihua, his eyes lit up. He quickly stepped forward, bowed impolitely to Wu Cuihua, and said, "Sister Cuihua, how have you been?"
With her back to Wang Tianba, Wu Cuihua quickly waved her hand, "Greetings, Young Master Wang. I have other matters to attend to, so I won't keep you company any longer. Please make yourself at home."
Wang Tianba had long coveted Wu Cuihua's beauty, and now that they had finally met, how could he let her go? He quickly reached out to grab her.
He just happened to grab the headscarf covering her head, pulled it back forcefully, and the headscarf slid down.
"Ah..." Wu Cuihua cried out, quickly covering her head with her hands, her face filled with panic.
Wu Shiren froze on the spot, at a loss for what to do.
Wang Tianba, unaware of what had happened, hurriedly looked up and couldn't help but shudder.
Wu Cuihua's head was completely bald, glistening in the sunlight; she had lost all her former charm.
He recoiled instinctively, as if he'd seen a ghost, and stammered, "Y-you, who are you?"
Wu Cuihua knew this was a golden opportunity. As long as Tianba saw that she had lost her hair, he would give up the engagement, and then she could marry Chen Feng.
She covered her head and whispered, "Young Master Wang, I... I am Wu Cuihua. Don't you recognize me?"
Wang Tianba's eyes immediately filled with disgust. "What happened to you? You look so damn ugly. Get out of here and don't let me see you again."
"Young Master Wang, I have a heart full of love for you, how could you say such hurtful words?" Wu Cuihua pretended to be on the verge of tears.
"You, you, stay away from me, you ugly monster." After saying that, Wang Tianba hurriedly looked at Wang Qizhang, "Father, I don't want to marry her, I don't agree to this marriage."
"Alright, alright, son, don't be alarmed." Elder Wang also recovered from his shock, his face full of anger. "Wu Shiren, how dare you lie to me! Is this what you meant by 'alright'?"
"No, Elder Wang, listen to me!" Wu Shiren said anxiously, his face flushed. "This...this is only temporary. My Cuihua will definitely get better."
Wang Qizhang wouldn't listen to any of this. He waved his hand and said, "Enough nonsense! Let's call off this marriage! I don't want my son to marry a bald man and become a laughingstock!"
"No, no, Brother Wang, please calm down. My daughter's illness should get better. Please give her some more time. Please don't break off the engagement!"
"You make it sound so easy. Your daughter's head is smoother than a peeled egg, yet you say it can grow hair? You're trying to fool a complete idiot!" After saying this, Wang Qizhang turned and left.
Wang Tianba gave Wu Cuihua a disdainful look and made a face. "You ugly thing, I wouldn't take you even if you were given to me for free. I still find you disgusting even if you're throwing yourself at me."
Seeing that her goal had been achieved, Wu Cuihua was secretly delighted, but she pretended to be sad and said, "Young Master Wang, you are really heartless. I am sincere to you, but you are just pretending to be nice to me. I can't live like this."
"If you can't live, then just die. Nobody's stopping you." Wang Tianba turned and left, muttering, "Bad luck, really bad luck..."
