C4 Chapter 4

Faang Shuyao said with an indescribable expression, "... "Alright."

Ji Chengyu, who had flirted with a bunch of innocent girls, was in a good mood. He could not lose anything from this deal. Even the displeasure from helping out in the beginning to turn into a young master had completely disappeared.

At this moment, outside the Fang Residence, the steward went to clean up the sign outside the door to recruit marriage, only to discover that the 'husband' character had been wiped by some child's mischievous prank, turning into the 'worker' character.

He did not think too much about it. After packing up, the Fang family who had been in an uproar for the past few days had finally ended.

Faang Shuyao was in a very good mood after solving the recruitment problem. On the same day, she instructed the servants, "Get a few people to beat the drum and announce that the Fang family has a son-in-law. Invite the neighbors to drink some wedding wine three days from now."

The servant accepted the order and left. In less than half a day, everyone in the city knew that the young miss of the Fang family, Faang Shuyao, had found a son-in-law. This also meant that Family Head Faang's identity was even more complicated.

During these few days when she had picked her husband, Faang Xin had deliberately stepped out of the way and put some broken dates in the Fang family. As long as he waited ten days, he would be able to reasonably marry her out and perhaps even restore his cooperation with Liu Kang. However, who would have thought that she actually chose one.

Faang Shuyao had long since brewed tea and waited for him here. "To barge in just like this without even making a report, Elder Fang is truly becoming more and more ignorant of the rules."

Faang Xin looked at her leisurely look and became annoyed. He said aggressively: "I'm afraid that Miss Fang's husband was randomly picked. If it's really randomly chosen, then Miss Faang can't blame me for marrying you out. After all, I can't let down your father."

Faang Shuyao knew that he wanted to test the depth of this new Young Master, so she was not in a hurry. Thinking of how he had been angered to the point of spitting out blood a few days ago, she felt like laughing, "New Young Master wants to marry. He's embroidering a wedding quilt in his room right now, and it's inconvenient for me to meet him, I'm afraid I'll have to disappoint Elder Fang."

Faang Xin was so angry that his face turned red. He scolded: "You are talking nonsense. I'm afraid you haven't found a suitable person."

At this moment, Ji Chengyu pushed open the door and entered the room. He had something to do and wanted to talk to Faang Shuyao, but who knew that he would hear the conversation between her and Faang Xin the moment he entered the yard.

The slam of the door caught the attention of the two men in the room, and their eyes swept over him from head to toe like X-rays.

Faang Shuyao was very surprised. She knew Ji Chengyu was good-looking, but she didn't expect him to look like this after he changed his clothes. His black clothes made his lips even more red and white.

She shook herself out of her daze, remembering the proper business. She stood up with a smile, walked to his front, and grabbed his hand: "Chengyu, why are you here, do you miss me? Let me introduce you, this is the Fang family's elder, Faang Xin. "

When Ji Chengyu saw Faang Shuyao's sudden change in expression, his usually cold face lifted into a smile that was as gentle as water. His heart, which had not moved for ten thousand years, suddenly beat faster.

But when he thought of the words he had just heard, Ji Chengyu stopped thinking and immediately answered: "Yes, those hands that like to be embroidered hurt, I came to see you."

Faang Shuyao choked and smiled ingratiatingly at him. However, she twisted her hand on Ji Chengyu's lower back and calmly threatened him. Ji Chengyu understood and, in accordance with the rules of a scholar, saluted Faang Xin first.

"Greetings, Elder Fang."

Although it was a humble action, Faang Xin was intimidated the moment he raised his head.

"Is this the new young master?"

The scornful gaze coupled with the word 'elder' made Faang Xin feel as if he was being mocked. His face immediately stiffened as he sized him up with an unfriendly tone.

"..." With just one glance, he shifted his gaze away. Ji Chengyu turned around and covered Faang Shuyao's forehead with his hair behind her ears. He was filled with feelings and completely ignored him.

Faang Shuyao's face was slightly red, but she could clearly see the fear that flashed in Faang Xin's eyes. She was overjoyed. Although this scholar was stunned, he did not let down his chain at such a crucial moment.

"You!" Wu Tie was so angry that he was about to lose his temper. Faang Shuyao pulled Ji Chengyu and sat beside her. She even lovingly poured a cup of tea for him.

"Chengyu, it's been hard on you these few days. Drink some tea." The two of them sat down and whispered to each other as if no one else was around.

Faang Xin was instantly angered. He wanted to retort, but his words stopped at his throat. He flung his sleeves and sat down with a cold expression.

Seeing Faang Shuyao's gentle and virtuous face, yet also staring at that old man, Ji Chengyu smiled. This kind of woman made it difficult for people to think of the girl who had a clear agreement yesterday, and it was unknown what kind of person she would be if she let down her guard.

Faang Xin followed them and sat down. He tried asking, "May I know the surname of this young master and where he lives?"

Ji Chengyu felt the patterns on the cup and said uninterested, "I am Ji Chengyu."

When Faang Xin heard the name, he squinted his eyes and immediately smiled sinisterly, "Ji Chengyu? I heard that you and Young Master Zhao from the south of the city have some grudges, how did you trick the Fang family? "

"Elder Fang has also heard of it, so don't take it seriously. A three year old child has been taught by his mother not to trust others easily. Elder Fang can't be that naive, right?"

Faang Shuyao burst into laughter. With a sweet smile, she said, "Actually, I also feel that Elder Fang is sometimes overly naive and always thinking about things that he can't get."

If it wasn't because of the special situation, Ji Chengyu would definitely laugh. He didn't expect this little girl to be so young that she could bully people. Her words were full of sarcasm, he didn't know who she learned it from.

Faang Xin gritted his teeth, held back the thought of leaving, and smirked, "What about Young Master Ji, I'm not afraid that Shuyao will be tricked. If I don't check, and the Patriarch of the Fang Family knows about me, he definitely won't let me go. Since the relationship between Young Master Ji and Young Master Zhao is so clear, I'm just afraid that one day he'll expose me and Shuyao will be sad."

Faang Shuyao's heart skipped a beat. She knew how much Ji Chengyu valued Young Master Zhao. She was afraid that Faang Xin would interfere and use Young Master Zhao to threaten him.

Ji Chengyu, on the other hand, was not scared at all. Before he went through the body, the original owner might not have been able to resist Young Master Zhao's temptations, but now, this body contained him. It was already good enough that he did not do anything to Young Master Zhao, who was in his early stages, "Elder Fang has been talking about Young Master Zhao for such a long time.

Faang Xin was rendered speechless by his bluntness. Weren't all scholars so cultured? Why is Ji Chengyu acting differently?

He held back his anger and raised the teapot to pour a cup of tea for Ji Chengyu: "I have offended you. I will use tea in place of wine and toast to Young Master Ji. Young Master Ji must give me face."

However, the hand holding the teapot trembled as it didn't pour into the cup. Instead, it directly splashed onto Ji Chengyu. Ji Chengyu didn't avoid it and watched as the tea was poured all over him.

Faang Xin was also a bit surprised. Ji Chengyu had a steady pace and an extraordinary bearing, just like a martial artist. However, when he was probing, not only did Ji Chengyu not quickly dodge, he did not even raise his momentum.

Ji Chengyu was still sitting there, casually stroking his drenched clothes: "Elder Fang is really old, I can't even hold the teapot anymore. I can't wear my clothes now, shouldn't Elder Fang give me some compensation?"

"What do you want?"
