Chapter 35 (2/2)
It was as if Fatty, who was initially very elegantly and slowly eating, had seen enemy troops charging forward. His speed increased by ten times, and so did his chewing speed. The amount he took was several times more than before. If it was said that his eating earlier was like soft winds and drizzles, a gentle breeze, then he was a whirlwind tornado now, wildly sweeping through everything.
“F*ck, you’re reborn from a hungry ghost.” Ren Jie instinctively cursed as he started scrambling for the food with a speed no slower than Fatty’s.
Fatty had a bad habit. As long as there was someone else eating with him, he would instantly speed up, as if fearing that he wouldn’t be able to snatch any. If not, he would separate the food beforehand to eat individually, Ren Jie kept pondering, Gao Ren must have experienced some kind of trauma in the past, otherwise, he wouldn’t have such a bad habit.
Of course, it was still extremely satisfying to eat with Fatty occasionally, snatching up the food was also very fulfilling.
“Um… Ren Family Head, I have waited here for you for a day. You should have seen the sincerity from us Fangs. Now, please follow me to the Fang’s, we will try our best to satisfy any demands you have.” Finally, he was finally seeing Ren Jie appear. Fang Yan exhaled a long breath, immediately undid his sealed on his hearing, and stood up.
One…
Two…
Three…
…
Fang Yan, who had stood up and finished speaking, looked at Ren Jie with a formal attitude. However, after waiting for quite a while, he saw that Ren Jie and Fatty continued to sweep through the food on the plate, snatching pastries, and did acknowledge him.
No one acknowledged him… no one acknowledged him…
Complete, utter disregard, treating like the air. This made Fang Yan feel even more embarrassed than being irked by Fatty for the whole day.
“Ren Family Head, I’ve come representing the Fang family to invite you.” Fang Yan emphasized on the word “invite”, already using his nasal voice to speak.
“Mine…” At this moment, Ren Jie had grabbed the last piece of pastry, but Fatty’s hand was also on it.
“One half each.” Fatty held onto it with a death grip, refusing to let go.
“Alright.” Ren Jie reluctantly agreed.
Deliberately… they were doing this deliberately… they must be doing this deliberately.
Seeing this scene, these were all that filled Fang Yan’s mind. Endure, I will endure again. All these will be made known to Seventh Princess, His Majesty and also Fang Tianen.
You wanted to take this opportunity to humiliate me, didn’t you? On the contrary, you’ve just happened to help me.
Fang Yan calmed down once again after raging inwardly as he repeatedly thought so to himself.
“Ren Family Head, you are done eating, aren’t you. Now…” Fang Yan kept watching till Ren Jie had finished eating before he spoke up again.
“Stop… stop, stop, stop!” Ren Jie raised a hand to stop Fang Yan from going on. He finally lifted his head to look to him and said, “You are a son of the Fangs, aren’t you. Although your Fang family cannot compare to my Ren family, and that you couldn’t become a family head as I did without the right of succession, the demands for you won’t be as strict. No matter what, you are still a son of the direct line of descent from a big family clan, why don’t you know any manners at all.”
“Dum dum…” Ren Jie knocked on the table and said, “Didn’t you see that I’m eating here. Do not converse during mealtimes and bedtimes. You rattled on and on ceaselessly when others were eating. What are you trying to do? Have the adults of your family never taught you that this is very rude?”
Um!
It was Fang Yan’s turn to be speechless. Ren Jie was right. All Fang Yan had been thinking about earlier was to speak to Ren Jie fast, he didn’t treat this as them having a proper meal. On top of that, he’d been aggravated by Fatty for an entire day and had been enraged for a long time, so he didn’t even give it much thought.
“Excuse me, Ren Family Head. Earlier…”
“Excuse you, what excuse. Right means right, wrong means wrong. What should I excuse you about, who are you for me to excuse you.” This Fang Yan could tolerate Fatty for this long and had secretly met Second Prince in front of the palace, Ren Jie had long perceived this person’s intentions. Ren Jie certainly wouldn’t be courteous to him.
If he really went to cure that vicious woman who’d wanted to kill him so easily, that would be problematic. Even if Ren Jie and Fatty had been waiting to go over to extort them, they wouldn’t bring themselves there this readily.
“Ren Family Head, Fang Yan was wrong, please forgive me. I’m especially here this time representing the Fang family…” Fang Yan inhaled as he thought to himself, Ren Jie, Ren Jie, I will put up with everything today. And the darn Fatty, just you two wait. If I do not pull out your tendons and skin you two one day, I, Fang Yan, swear I won’t be a human. Today, I’ll just use you two as a foil. Alright, you’re arrogant and humiliating me huh. Sooner or later, I will teach you a lesson bit by bit.
As he thought to himself, Fang Yan opened up instead and generously admitted his mistake.
“Alright, it’s enough that you admitted your mistake. You don’t have to go on about the rest. You are unable to represent the Fang family. Previously, I have mentioned it at the Five Clans Hall. In the end, Fang Tianen was ungrateful. Now he has sent a junior like you here. And you’ve rattled ceaselessly during my mealtime, wanting to go over directly. Do you think I am your family doctor? We’ll speak when Fang Tianen is here, you’re not qualified enough.” With that, Ren Jie did not spare any more words to Fang Yan, stood up and left.
“Family Head… this isn’t too appropriate, he’s the future Prince Consort no matter what…” Fatty Gao Ren caught up to him, seeming very kind.
“F*ck, we’re not the princess either, why bother with him.” Ren Jie worked with Fatty and replied very nonchalantly as he left without turning back.
“Pu…” A surge of Qi rushed up Fang Yan’s chest. The fury in his body burned his heart, and even the strongest energy couldn’t stop it. He was actually so incensed that he spat out a mouthful of blood.
