Chapter 699

Fei Qinfan blinked his eyes before turning to look at his uncle and asked in a sort of hollow voice, " Is this why I was dumped ?"

" I don"t know," said Lord Fei while he sipped on his tea. " I have always been doting on your grandaunt, so I will never understand the woes of someone who doesn"t."

Fei Qinfan: "….." I just wanted some advice why are you feeding me dog food here??ree?????ve?. co?

" Are you okay?" Lin Rui followed Su Wan, he saw how pale she looked that was why he was he didn"t think that it was all right for him to leave her alone. " You seem a bit upset."

"It"s nothing," Su Wan smiled at him as she tilted her head back and shot him an " I am fine" expression before turning around and looking in the front as an ugly grimace decorated her face. "It"s just that I remembered someone really annoying and now my mood is sour."

Lin Rui blinked his eyes before he nodded and then walked into the front and sat down in front of Su Wan such that she was looking at him instead of the brightly coloured begonia in her courtyard. She frowned when her view was filled with Lin Rui, she looked at his exceptionally good-looking face and asked, " What are you doing?"

" I am turning the sour taste in your mouth into a sweet one," he said with a grin as he leaned forward such that his chin was leaning on his arms that were crossed on his knees. " Since you were reminded of something so annoying then you should look at my face, I think you will get better."

Su Wan"s eyes widened before she burst out laughing. " Haha, where did you learn that cheesy line, did Ah Chen teach you?" In their family only Lin Chen was the one who would throw such corny lines every now and then, surely, it must have been him who taught Lin Rui such a flirty line.

" Well third brother said that it will work," Lin Rui rubbed the back of his nape and awkwardly smiled. " I think he made a fool out of me, I knew that it would not work, I just wanted to try it but looks like it didn"t work."

" No, it did work," said Su Wan as she poked Lin Rui on his nose and smiled at him. " I think it worked really well, I feel all warm and fuzzy now."

" Are you going to keep drinking and wasting away your life like this?" Looking at Lin Ze, his friend couldn"t help but scrunch up his nose in distaste. " How long are you going to act like that? Isn"t it better to make those nephews of you pay for what they have done?"

Lin Ze snorted into his drink and slurred out in a frenzy, " What do you know? Those five, they do not care about me and their grandmother at all, heartless b.a.s.t.a.r.ds. They just do what they want to and when I try to get close to them, they would ask their guards to send me away."

" That"s because you are being stupid," said his friend causing Lin Ze to look up from his cup and straight into his eyes as he frowned and asked, " What do you mean by that, what are you trying to say by that, Tai Zheng?"

The man named Tai Zheng rolled his eyes and then looked left and right before turning to look at Lin Ze as he leaned forward on the dusty table of the rundown pub and said in a soft voice, " You are being really stupid you know, why are you even wasting your time with your nephews? Instead, why not go and look for your wife instead?"

" My wife?" Lin Ze blinked his eyes, surprised at the suggestion that his friend has given him, he placed the cup from which he was drinking and then took another look around him before he asked in a drunken haze, " What do you mean by that? Are you saying that I can force my wife to give me the money? Are you …but she and I are divorced, why will she give me the money?"

Lin Ze has still not forgotten how his wife heartlessly left him when his legs were broken, he sent his mother to ask for money for his recovery but his wife turned her away saying that she didn"t have any money and now because he didn"t receive any treatment properly his right leg has gone limp, making him the new joke of the village. Everyone said that he received his Karma for doing the same to Lin Yu, of course, Lin Ze didn"t agree with them, after all, how can that stutter and jinx be compared to him?

But it didn"t change the fact that he was embarra.s.sed by the villagers to the point where he couldn"t even say anything to them. Now he hardly left his house and stayed in his home throughout the entire day and only left the village to drink when it was late in the night.

Tai Zheng smacked his palm on the table before throwing his other arm around the back of his chair and said, " That"s where you are wrong, ask your wife for money but don"t ask for yourself, ask that money for your children. After all your son is her son as well, she can"t possibly abandon him right?" Seeing that Lin Ze was still thinking and hesitating, he immediately cursed under his breath and said, " You might have not heard it but that eldest nephew of yours sold a thing called a doll house for two hundred taels today."

" WHAT? TWO HUNDRED TAELS?" Lin Ze was so shocked that he jumped up from his seat but when he saw that everyone was looking at him, he apologised and sat back down before whispering, " Are you sure? He sold something that pricey?"

" Why will I lie to you?" said Tai Zheng with a serious face. " I was thinking of doing the same but the thing is that there is something different about the skills of your eldest nephew, he might be doing something that we don"t know and I can"t come up with a perfect way to copy the doll house that he is selling, that"s why I want you to ask your wife to send your son into his shop and learn the techniques… if he does that then you and I can open a shop as well."

Only then did Lin Ze realise that Tai Cheng was a craftsman as well.
