466 Tang Yuan’s Agony (2/2)
”Okay. You must have your reasons. I'll go and get it done…” Fatty Tang was somewhat puzzled, but he still agreed to it. ”But, I ask the Third Young Master to do me a favor first.”
”What happened?”
”It's still that vile woman — Sun Xiao Mei. Ah, you don't know… This about that bottle of pills you had given me to give to that woman. Sun Xiao Mei took half of it. But, a problem arose when she finished it,” Tang Yuan issued a prolonged sigh.
”What happened? Were there any side effects?” Jun Mo Xie's interests were suddenly raised. [Tang Yuan's appearance makes it seem that something must've gone wrong.]
”Ah, the medicine is very effective! That vile woman has become slim now. She can nearly be compared to Princess Ling Meng in that regard! But, the problem is that… her face looks even uglier now!”
Tang Yuan tried to cough up tears he said, ”Third Young Master… you see… Sun Xiao Mei can make anyone lose their wits if you look at her from behind. But, she can scare away a million men once she turns to face you! This kind of a contrast makes me crumble. And, this is particularly true when I think that she's going to be my wife in the future…”
”The face…? How is it ugly?” Jun Mo Xie became very puzzled. That pills he had supplied should've helped in getting and maintaining a nourished and youthful appearance. So, how could her face become ugly? This obviously defied the common logic.
”Xiao Mei had eaten some unknown thing when she was a child. Then, she suddenly started to become ugly, and also started to lose shape. That's why that woman wasn't easy on the eyes. But, her body started to change after she took your medicine. In fact, it seemed that even her bones were slimming down. Ah, she became increasingly slimmer… I looked at her, and used my position to give her another half-a-bottle from the hall's quota…”
Tang Yuan embarrassingly scratched his head as he looked at Jun Mo Xie, ”I saw her again after a few days. And, her rear-profile had started to look even more fascinating! In fact, it had become far more elegant! But, her face… had become even uglier! Moreover, there were many kinds of swellings, lumps, and warts! Ah, Third Young Master! You don't know of the pain in my heart! It's such a good figure… it is a pity that…”
Jun Mo Xie understood the matter when he heard this. It seemed that Sun Xiao Mei's huge built wasn't her natural one. That unknown thing she had eaten had somehow wrought damage to the hormonal balance within her body. Consequently, her constitution had started to lean to a more manly form. But, the Young Master's pill had become an antigen to that. Therefore, Tang Yuan had unintentionally forced that poison out of Sun Xiao Mei's body by giving her more of the medicine. However, this had resulted in a drug-abuse. And, that poison had moved towards her face, and had left it to look horrible. This had then resulted in the current scenario where 'one would harbor nefarious thoughts when they'd see the rear, but retreat in fear and self-defense when they'd see the face'. It was a subtle situation…
”It's not that serious; I'll go and take a look. I don't think it's that big a deal. I'll return you an undeniably beautiful wife. But, you must be careful, Fatty. Sun Xiao Mei will trample you if she becomes beautiful…”
”Huh?” Tang Yuan said shocked, ”Don't mention about. It's not that I don't know. That woman has a fierce character. And, she'll probably get worse if she looks better. But, it wouldn't kill me, right?” He thought for a moment, and became distressed. He then said in agony, ”But, her face will kill my desires at this rate if she doesn't…”
”Ah, I've got to admit that you've got a point…” Jun Mo Xie consoled. Then, he rolled his eyes and said, ”But, my dearest brother Fatty… let's be honest for a second… I understand that your wife has this peculiar condition. But, wouldn't it be considered cheating since you had misused your position at the Aristocratic Hall to get those medicines?”
”Uh…” Tang Yuan rolled his eyes.
”You also know the strict rules of our Aristocratic Hall. We sell our items many after increasing their prices by many times of the highest market price. And, we'll deduct the cost of those pills from your shares,” Jun Mo Xie showed no quarter, ”And, I'll confiscate your shares if these things happen again.”
”Don't… No. No. Don't do it Third Young Master! That's only shining money! But, that shining money is my life! You plan to take your brother's life?! I'm your brother…” Tang Yuan let out a miserable and mournful shout. It was like the man's heart had been ripped out. He teared up, and his nose ran as he retorted, ”You can't do this! You're very cruel, boo hoo…”
[I had never imaged that this would happen to me. I've been robbing the whole world with my tricks. But, I never thought that Jun Mo Xie would rob me upon his return! Is it karma…?]
”Then, you take your pick — do you want a pretty wife or do you want money?” Jun Mo Xie held his hands behind his back as he ignored Fatty's pleading.
”This… this… money is my life… But, a wife is like a lifeline. A lifeline is more important… Of course, I want the wife…” Tang Yuan grunted and grumbled as he rolled his eyes at first. Then, he finally made a determined decision.
