Chapter 041 – Friends! (1/2)
041 – Friends!
“Women who can be known as one of the bright moons of the kingdom are no ordinary women.” Yan Xiangma sighed to himself.
Cui Xiaoxin had only entered through the door for just a few minutes but she already knows everything. Even if he wanted to help Li Muyang hide the truth, she's able to see through everything with just one glance.
Cui Xiaoxin knew who killed Crow, just as she knows the reason for him in stealing the credit.
He wanted to protect Li Muyang, so he said Crow was killed by himself.
Cui Xiaoxin also wants to protect Li Muyang, so she also said that Crow was killed by Yan Xiangma.
He said it out of selflessness, but when his little sister cousin said it—-there's somewhat an uncomfortable feeling in his heart?
However, since Cui Xiaoxin had used such a serious tone to bring up this matter, he had to agree.
Because Cui Xiaoxin is not only his cousin, but also a girl of the Cui family—-Yan family is the in-laws of the Cui family, and also their subordinates. Yan Xiangma status is not as important as Cui Xiaoxin.
Even if Cui Xiaoxin was to marry, she has to marry someone who can bring great power to the Cui family——-for example that jade tree of the Song family.
What about himself? As the son of the lord of Jiangnan City, it is indeed difficult for those wealthy n.o.ble families to pay attention to him.
If it weren't because his mother is a woman of the Cui family, would he be qualified to have the opportunity to live with Xiaoxin cousin and talk to her as her equal?
Yan Xiangma patted his chest and said: “Cousin, rest a.s.sured, when I handle matters I like to pay particular attention to the word 'reason'—-If it's my credit, no one can take it away. If it's not mines and I want to s.n.a.t.c.h it off other people, then other people cannot say anything either. In a while I'll go to the City's lord official residence to report that I destroyed a.s.sa.s.sin Crow, and collect the reward of three thousand gold coins—-Li Muyang this time it was thanks to your help. Later I'll send someone over to reward you with one thousand five hundred gold coins, us brothers shall share the reward equally. ”
Li Muyang waved repeatedly and said: “No, no. That's your reward, it has nothing to do with me.”
“What? Do you look down on me?” Yan Xiangma.
“Not at all—-I just don't think I should receive a reward for nothing—–“
“It's alright.” Yan Xiangma said impatiently: “If I give it to you then you should take it. Within our circle, if someone gives you gifts and you don't accept it that means you don't respect them——-Those who do not show respect for me, I will hit their faces. Us hedonistic young master can do anything.”
Yan Xiangma lowered his voice and whispered: “Can I go upstairs to see s.h.i.+nian?”
“No.”
“I'll give you two thousand gold coins.”
“No.”
“Two-thousand five hundred.”
“No.”
“I'll give you all of the three thousand, okay?”
“No.”
Yan Xiangma used his finger to point at Li Muyang on the chest and said: “Little brat, don't you think we should work together to create a better future?”
“What do you mean?”
“You like my cousin, and I think Li s.h.i.+nian is quite cute. You help me with your little sister, and I'll help you with my sister, we exchange information and create chances for each other—-What do you think?”
Li Muyang rolled his eyes and said: “Go to your sister[1].”
Yan Xiangma pulled Cui Xiaoxin's sleeve and said: “Cousin, he told you to leave, we should go back—–“
“Yan Xiangma—–“ Li Muyang wanted to rush over and beat him up. I said 'go to your sister', not to get rid of Xiaoxin. He would rush to insist that Xiaoxin should stay behind.
Cui Xiaoxin shook off Yan Xiangma's pulling, looked at Li Muyang and said: “I know you have gone through many things, you and your family also faced some great danger. But I hope these things won't affect your exams tomorrow—–if there is anything we can do to help, please be sure to ask. Please don't be polite.”
