Chapter 255: Rejected (2/2)
”Senior, how about you sell Whitey to me and I'll try to help you convince my mother?” Xiao Yu widened his eyes and probed.
However, Bu Fang shot him an indifferent glance. ”I already said that you won't be able to afford or support it.”
Xiao Yu's face turned black.
”Owner Bu, let me bring you over to meet my second aunt. As for whether you can convince my second aunt to cook the Pan-Fried Pork Bun, it will all depend on fate,” Xiao Yanyu said.
Bu Fang nodded. This was the only way now.
The trio strolled around the exquisite garden. Bu Fang was already feeling somewhat dizzy from the strolling. With such a big courtyard, wouldn't the people staying here get lost?
A moment later, after strolling around for some time, the trio arrived at the front of a large courtyard.
Xiao Yu took the initiative to push open the courtyard gate. He shouted lightly, ”Mother, I am back.”
A rustling noise resonated from inside the courtyard and an attractive figure walked out from the house. This was a mature, beautiful, calm and graceful woman. Her figure was well developed and she had pretty good facial features. From time to time, there would be a smile that brought warmth to a person's heart on the corner of her mouth.
”Xiao Yu, you are back. Your dad had just returned to his room. Come in. Yanyu is also here? Er… This is?”
The noble woman gave Bu Fang a suspicious glance and asked Yanyu with a smile.
Xiao Yanyu introduced Bu Fang's identity to the noble woman, but she did not give any details.
”Since he is Yanyu's friend, let's have him as a guest of the house,” the noble woman known as Lin Qin'Er, or Miss Lin, smiled gracefully and leisurely walked into the house.
Xiao Yu drooped his head. His father was also inside the house; he would not be able to hop around then.
The moment Bu Fang stepped into the house, a faint aroma of sandalwood and rich tea pervaded the air.
The interior of the house was extremely wide. Bu Fang directly faced a living room. There were a few wooden chairs and a wooden table in it.
A middle-aged man was sitting in that living room drinking tea as he looked at Bu Fang, who had just walked in.
He was a handsome man. Even though he was now a middle aged man, his face still some traces of his past handsomeness. His features had a heroic, almost dominee Oh quality to it in the same vein as Xiao Meng.
This person was the Xiao Family's Secord Lord, Xiao Keyun.
Bu Fang glanced at the man and his eyes narrowed slightly. He was brimming with power, but this was only on the surface. Underneath his powerful aura, there was also a thread of weakness and frailty. Moreover, a strange blackness seemed to flash across his face from time to time. As it did so, it swallowed up his vitality with each pass.
This person.... Something was odd about him.
While Bu Fang was sizing up Xiao Keyun, the latter was also observing Bu Fang. His spirit palpitated because he could feel a thread of formidable energy concealed in this young man's body.
As his heart shivered, he opened his mouth and immediately asked:
”Sire is?”
”This person is Onwer Bu, Yanyu's friend from Imperial City. It just so happen that they met each other in Southern City. So, Yanyu invited him over as a guest here,” Lin Qin'Er explained in a smile.
”Oh… I came over to Xiao Mansion just so I can try your Pan-Fried Pork Bun. Therefore, I humbly request that you make a plate of Pan-Fried Pork Bun,” Bu Fang cupped his hand and said to Lin Qin'Er humbly.
”Second Uncle, Owner Bu went through the trouble of traveling a long distance trip from the Imperial City to Southern City just so he could try Second Aunt's culinary skills. Could she…” Xiao Yanyu looked at Xiao Keyun and said with a smile.
But before she even finished her sentence, it was interrupted by Xiao Keyun's cold demeanor.
”No way. Qin'Er doesn't make Pan-Fried Pork Bun anymore. I request sire to go back.” Xiao Keyun's complexion turned heavy. He waved his head, impolitely ordering the guest to leave.
Xiao Yanyu immediately turned rigid. She looked at Bu Fang's profile helplessly.
Lin Qin'Er also looked at Bu Fang and smiled apologetically, indicating that she would not undertake his request.
”Mother… it had been truly hard for the senior to rush over here from the Imperial City. Why not just make a plate of it? I also haven't had a taste of mother's culinary skill for a long time.” Xiao Yu also helped in persuading.
”Step down. When the adults are talking, the kids should not interrupt,” Xiao Keyun swept a quick look at Xiao Yu and said nonchalantly.
Xiao Yu's expression immediately stifled. He drooped his head once again. Fine, you are an adult, you good...
”Owner Bu, right? I'm sorry, but because of her weak and frail body, it's been a long time since my beloved wife cooked the Pan-Fried Pork Bun. I'm truly very sorry about this. Sire should return. There are lots of other delicious delicacies in Southern City, not limited to Pan-Fried Pork Bun. Sire can go ahead and taste the other delicacies.”
Xiao Keyun said, ordering the guest to leave once again.
Bu Fang frowned and chose not to insist on it. Since she was not going to make it, then forget it.
Therefore, Bu Fang stood up and was intending to walk toward the exit when a beast's howl reverberated throughout the entire Southern City once again. There was a loud ramming sound outside the city wall.
