When Sheng Weiqiao and her cousin arrived, Sheng Shuihe and Xu Baomo were watching the servant packing up the chess and getting ready to leave.
Sheng Shuihe and Xu Baomo were shocked when they saw Sheng Weiqiao making a beeline for them angrily.
"Sh*t, sister will find out I lied to her!" Luckily, Sheng Shuihe had a quick reaction, and he quickly saluted to Xu Baomo, saying regretfully, "Brother Xu, there is something perhaps you don"t know. Two days ago, I beat a playboy, who said something nasty to my sister and her mother on the street. After that, my sister has been going on about this for many days! This time, she would not let it go when she saw me. So, later, if my sister said anything rude, hope brother could forgive her!"
After hearing what he said, Xu Baomo quickly replied, "Our families have been old friends for two generations, so there is no need to be so overcautious! Besides, it is actually quite enviable that sister cares about you so much!"
Sheng Shuihe said to himself that the reason he defended her was that he didn"t want to ruin the reputation of this "tigress" so that she would not end up alone. Well if I told the truth that she had been giving me a hard time, see if you would feel envy again?
In the middle of their conversation, Sheng Weiqiao had already appeared in front of them. Although she came here to find Sheng Shuihe"s troubles, since Xu Baomo was still here, she didn"t want to be rude. So, she gave a salute and said, "In this humble house, if we haven"t treated you well, hope Young Lord could forgive us!"
"My dear sister, there is no need to be so polite!" Xu Baomo quickly stood up and gave a salute to greet back, saying, "Our grandfathers are old friends, so, if sister feels comfortable, you could just call me "brother" like you call Brother Shuihe."
Also, speaking of the mansion of Sheng Family, everyone treated him so well that he never felt neglected. Instead, he actually felt really guilty for having let the Sheng Family get so busy.
After this small talk, Sheng Weiqiao turned to Sheng Shuihe. Before she was going to say something, Sheng Shuihe had already stood up and smiled regretfully, "Don"t worry, sister! I am going back to my room to take medicines right now, and you"d never worry about me anymore! See, if you don"t believe me, you could follow me back to my yard, right?"
He could say anything during this conversation, but he chose to mention that "medicine thing." After hearing what Sheng Shuihe had said, Sheng Weiqiao realized that he was half naked when she saw him that day. She was so shy and angry, and even her face was blushed. Now, she had no idea about what to say. Before she could think about something to say, she saw him tiptoeing out of the room. Then she soon came to herself, stamped her feet and said, "Don"t move!"
Well, only fools would not run!
Sheng Shuihe said that to himself and then started to run!
Sheng Weiqiao saw what he did, picked up the hem of her skirt and ran after him without thinking!
"Big Weiqiao?" Since Shen Jiuniang came, she had been using the fan to hide half of her face, so that she could secretly enjoy Xu Baomo"s good looking face. She thought that Sheng Weiqiao came to cause some troubles to Sheng Shuihe, and then two of them would fight. She could make mediating between them as an excuse or she could just stand there without any help, and then she would win more time to look at Xu Baomo.
However, one of them ran away, and one chased after the other. What should she do now?
When Shen Jiuniang was in a daze, Xu Baomo turned his head to her with a faint smile. The smile made his beautiful face even more handsome, and Shen Jiuniang almost forgot how to breathe. She had to squeeze her hand very hard so that she could hear what he said properly, "Your look kind of unfamiliar to me. I wonder which of my Sheng uncles" daughters you are?"
"My, my last name isn"t Sheng. The senior master of Sheng Family is my maternal grandfather…." At that moment, Shen Jiuniang"s cheek turned even redder than before, like blood. She bent her head slightly and stammered, "My name is Shen Jiuniang!"
On one hand, Shen Jiuniang was secretly pleased that she was speaking with Xu Baomo. However, on the other hand, Sheng Shuihe was not familiar with the path and came to a dead-end, which made Sheng Weiqiao catch him in time!
"What can I do for you, sister?" Sheng Shuihe thought there was nowhere he could run, so he lifted up his hands, turned around, and smiled apologetically, "If there is anything you want me to do, just tell me. As your brother, I"ll do it whatever it takes!"
Although Sheng Weiqiao caught him, still, her body was too weak, so she was already out of breath because of the running. She followed his voice and looked at him angrily. It took so long to calm herself down and yelled, "What were you running for?!"
"I was kind of in a hurry to go back and take some medicines, and then sister doesn"t have to worry about me anymore, right?" Sheng Shuihe sn.i.g.g.e.red, and then he came forward and offered his hand. Sheng Weiqiao jumped back a little vigilantly, and spoke angrily again, "If you touch me again, believe it or not, I will hit you with the horsetail whisk?!"
Sheng Shuihe calmly flipped something off on the leaf behind her, "Aha! Isn"t sister afraid of bugs? This is rare. I thought people like you who have lived in the boudoir...."
Before he could finish his words, Sheng Weiqiao already stepped back seven or eight steps, and kept saying, "Why don"t you just step on it now!!!"
Sheng Shuihe did what she said and stepped on that thing, then he said "surprisingly", "Oh! I"m wrong. It"s a leaf!"
"Go to h.e.l.l!!!" After Sheng Weiqiao heard that, she realized that she got fooled! Suddenly, her eyes were full of rage. He could feel that he was about to be beaten, sighed helplessly and thought that since the he had failed to break the ice, it seemed that he could only lead troubles to someone else!
He cried, "WAIT!"
Then his voice grew serious slowly, "You know, sister, you were actually fooled by your Cousin Shen!"
"Little Jiuniang tricked me?" Sheng Weiqiao was dumbfounded after hearing what he said, and she mumbled, "What did she do?"
While she was speaking, she already had come up to Sheng Shuihe. Sheng Shuihe said, "If I were right, it was your Cousin Shen who led you to the garden…."
At this point, Sheng Weiqiao gave him a cunning smile and stepped on his instep hardly. She said confidently, "Then you"ve also been tricked by me!"
Sheng Shuihe, "…."
He thought, "She is my sister! She is just a child! She is just naive! Most importantly, she is too weak to take your one light punch!"
He controlled his impulse so hard to convince himself not to punch Sheng Weiqiao, and then he said, "Cousin Shen led you to the garden on purpose because she could use the chance of our fight to speak with Brother Xu. Well, her age is exactly the time for love. If she likes that Brother Xu, I don"t really care! But what she did was to step on you to show off her gentleness, then that"s disagreeable! So, if sister wants to hang out with Cousin Shen next time, you"d better be careful. Otherwise, she will take advantage of your naivety as the cover again!"
Sheng Weiqiao nodded her head solemnly and said, "Okay…."
Then she stamped on his instep harder and sneered, "Do you think I don"t know you"re trying to alienate us?!"
"…!!!" "She is my sister! She is just a child! She is just naive! She is not only too weak to take your one light punch but also too vulnerable to listen to your one harsh truth!"
Sheng Shuihe took a deep breath, "If you don"t believe me, we can go back right now. I"m sure she"s taking the chance to talk to Brother Xu now!"
"Let"s go then!" Sheng Weiqiao lifted up her chin and said with a smirk, "But, if you are talking nonsense…."
"Then, I am all yours!" Sheng Shuihe glanced at her, "However, if I am right, how will you thank me?"
Sheng Shuihe sneered, "Why will I thank you? We are cousins. I have called her "Little Jiuniang" for years, but she has never taken it seriously. Even though she used me as a cover this time, so what? Can I hate her for that?!"
He thought, "She is my sister! She is just a child! She is just naive! She is not only too weak to take your one light punch but also too vulnerable to listen to your one harsh truth! The most important thing is! If she left crying, Sheng Lanci would jump out right now and defend her daughter!"
Sheng Shuihe wore a plastic smile, "Well, sister is so generous that it makes me look like a bad guy!"
He thought, "For G.o.d"s sake, I had put up with you so many times. I let you kick and trample whenever you liked. I also rendered good for evil and helped you to teach Xuanyu Che a lesson. Why couldn"t you just go easy on me?!"
This daughter was even more difficult than her father, okay?!
