Chapter 10: Quenching Body, Building Foundation (1/2)
“These godly pills are truly wonderful! Just a sniff and it had already refreshed and cleared the mind.” Yang Guomin marveled.
“We owe him a great debt!” Yang Tianhu said as he looked at the miraculous vial of pills.
“Dad, you cannot say that. To us, these pills are invaluable, but to him, he can always refine some more. The most important thing is that he likes our family’s Ruoxue. If not for her, we wouldn’t have even received a penny. Why else would he bring back a dying person and give us a vial of Longevity Pills.” Yang Guomin analyzed.
“Right! Dad, this I can understand. Other people had come here because of Xiao Xue’s face, this kind of fairy would allow their husbands to not be able to run away. No matter how one puts it, they are all in the grasp of Xiao Xue, you spoke of sister-in-law.” Yang Guomin’s wife—Liu Yun—said.
“Haha, I am quite content with Young Yu, but it seems Xiao Xue (little snow) isn’t quite willing!” Yang Ruoxue’s mother—Qin Mei—said.
“Therefore, you must persuade her. Xiao Xue is intelligent and beautiful, but her scope is way too high. Normal people are not suitable for her, but now even an immortal figure isn’t! Though Young Yu is young, that is nothing. Moreover, he is probably quite popular at school with girls chasing him. What do we do if someone else snatched him, would that not be a big loss?”
“Ruoxue, ah!” Cheng Yu said lying on the sofa.
“Hmph, you are not allowed to call me like that.” Hearing Cheng Yu call her so intimately, Yang Ruoxue was dissatisfied.
“Ruoxue, ah, you’re becoming hostile and destroying the bridge after crossing the river. Earlier your family accepted the dowry gift and our relationship. We ought to nurture our feelings for each other, what do you say?” Cheng Yu didn’t put what she said to mind as he just bombarded her with what he felt.
“Who wants to nurture relationships with you?! Also, you clearly said that it wasn’t a dowry gift, but just a gift, what relationship?!”
“Haha, though I said it wasn’t a dowry gift, but your family has probably already seen me as their son-in-law.Even if I said so, your grandfather would still consider it to be a dowry gift. Who knows, maybe they’re discussing our marriage right now.” Cheng Yu said with a smile.
“You’re a scoundrel! I will not marry you!” As she continued to listen to what he said, she thought about leaving her family for a while. Seeing a satisfied and arrogant expression on his face, she became sour. She grabbed a pillow off the sofa and threw it at him.
“Hey sis, if you want to tease your husband, you shouldn’t do it in front of us. It could lead us astray.” Yang Zhenqi spoke.
Hearing this, Yang Ruoxue grew even angrier as she hit her brother over the head with a pillow and scolded, “You smelly brat, to even help an outsider bully your sister! From now on, don’t expect any pocket money, I won’t give any.”
“Wow! You’re being so unfair, I’m going to tell grandfather! Brother, my sister is so ferocious, how can you like her? You should really handle her.” Hearing his sister snap, he immediately began to take revenge.
“You, dead boy, you tell grandfather and I’ll beat your mouth to mush!” She ran toward her brother, who upon seeing her rush at him, ran out of the villa screaming, “You’re finished! I’m going home to tell grandfather that you are too savage and we should have a family meeting to seriously teach you!”
Yang Ruoxue panted for a while as anger filled her face. She returned to the living room, and saw that Cheng Yu was drinking tea as he smiled and said, “Is he really your younger brother? He’s so much better than you, I quite like him.”
“If you don’t have any business, then immediately leave!” Yang Ruoxue was super angry. Since she ran into this scoundrel, she had never been angry. How did he accomplish this?
“Well, I’ll stop teasing you. Let’s talk business okay, do you have the contract?”
“Okay.” Yang Ruoxue calmed down and went to her room to get two contracts, “I’ve already signed them, take a look to see if anything is wrong. If it’s okay, then sign it.”
Cheng Yu didn’t even take a look as he just signed it. “I’m not afraid of you wanting to cheat me.”
“But if you want to, I’m willing.”
“Idiot!” Her lips twitched as she turned to the side.
Cheng Yu put away his copy of the contract, “Now, I want to refine some medicinal pills. I need your people to look for some Nine Suns Grass and Vajra Diamond Grass. Ah, that’s right, I also need some Meteor Iron.” Cheng Yu just minded his business as he then headed to his refining room. As he didn’t hear a reply, he turned around. He saw that she was quite angry, her face was swelling and it was very red, she was trembling. He was puzzled as he asked, “What’s wrong?”
“Who do you think I am? Your servant or housekeeper? Why should I do this? A person should pay for work right?”
“Of course, I thought that I was one of your people.”
