90 Becoming Siblings (1/2)
“I fancy a lot of things, but my favorite is exquisite places.” Yun Yang stood up. “Alright, since you insist.”
Dong Tianleng understood right away. “If my lord wants to go to Cirrus House next time, this little brother will always treat you!”
“Hmm?” Yun Yang sighed. “As long as you don’t anger me, it’s good enough. How dare I make the great young master, Young Master Dong, buy me a meal?”
Dong Tianleng grinned and said ingratiatingly, “As long as my lord is willing to go, even my ancestors will feel blessed!”
The corners of Yun Yang’s lips twitched.
I wonder what the seniors of the Dong Family would think if they heard this?
I’m only going to drink with you and your ancestors of Dong Family would feel blessed?
…
Dong Tianleng reminded Yun Yang repeatedly on their way, “If we come across the two fellows from Chun Family and Xia Family, don’t ever speak of the lion’s case. Sigh, Qiu Yunsan won’t be able to come out now. I don’t know if his wounds have already rotted with pus… It’s… so gratifying…”
Yun Yang really could not take it anymore. When they were near the doors of Cirrus House, he finally said frowning, “Dong Tianleng, let me ask you… what type of education is it that you have been receiving since young?”
Dong Tianleng scratched his head and said, “Kindness, kinship, courtesy, intelligence, faith, loyalty, filial piety, modesty, justice, a lion’s heart for the nation and its people…”
Yun Yang replied, “F*ck off!”
…
“This young master is here again!” Once Dong Tianleng entered Cirrus House, he displayed the demeanor of a noble family’s descendant. From the moment he entered, each servant and maid he saw previously was given a hundred silver taels each.
However, they realized that there were no more rooms to be had.
Dong Tianleng was direct, throwing a thousand silver taels into one of the halls. “Brothers, please honor me. Take these taels and give the hall to me.”
A scholar inside frowned. “You bas…”
Dong Tianleng put his palm down again. “Five thousand taels!”
“We don’t mean this…” The person hesitated.
Another wave of his palm, “Ten thousand taels!”
With a loud swoosh, five to six people immediately disappeared from the Winter Snow Hall.
Yun Yang was speechless.
He had witnessed several cases of harassment using one’s wealth but it was still a first for him to see such exorbitant behavior, escalating the amount from a thousand taels like the great Young Master Dong.
Somehow, he got to enjoy the feeling of being a millionaire as well.
“Gratifying?” Dong Tianleng threw himself onto the chair leisurely and crossed his ankle on his other leg with a chuckle. “If they don’t leave with ten thousand taels, this young master shall stuff them with a million taels!”
Yun Yang was rolling his eyes endlessly. It was natural for Yun Zuiyue to know that Yun Yang had come. She was a smart woman after all, noticing the oddity in the recent atmosphere, she was both happy and worried.
After some hesitation, she finally decided to still come greet him.
When she arrived at the entrance of the Winter Snow Hall, she heard Yun Yang’s voice from the outside. “Dong Tianleng, you’re probably not as familiar to Cirrus House as I am. I’m a regular…”
Yun Zuiyue was stunned.
Yun Yang’s tone was rather cocky. This is… a little odd.
Yun Zuiyue walked in softly and saw Dong Tianleng right away. This fellow had been frequenting Cirrus House so often recently that he was a regular too.
“Why, It’s Young Master Dong.” Yun Zuiyue greeted him courteously.
Dong Tianleng chortled in triumph and said, “Lady Zuiyue, you honor me too much by coming over personally. Those fellows can’t even see you after all trying sorts of methods.”
This man had frequented Cirrus House for about a dozen times already but he had only ever seen Yun Zuiyue on his first visit. Seeing that Yun Zuiyue had actually come over this time, he was surprised by the sudden attention.
“You wish!” Yun Yang stood up and chuckled. ”Sister Yue, little brother misses you so much.”
Yun Zuiyue understood immediately. She replied in a velvety smooth voice, “Little flirt! How many days have you not come to see Sister Yue already and you actually dare say you miss me…”
“Am I not here now?” Yun Yang cried like a man wronged and said shamelessly, “I’ve been so antsy these days. I’ve heard that a popinjay has clung to Sister Yue so I came running over immediately. How dare I wait to do this?”
Yun Zuiyue replied, her eyes sparkling, “It’s fine now… That young master doesn’t come anymore.”
Yun Yang nodded. “That is a good thing.”
Dong Tianleng was poleaxed as an ox as he stuttered, “You know each other? Are you very close?”
Yun Yang looked at him like he was seeing a foolish child. “What do you think?”
Dong Tianleng’s expression was crestfallen. “So you didn’t come because of me…”
Yun Zuiyue chuckled, her radiance beaming beautifully like blooming flowers.
