C2 Caught in a Trap
Before Chen Xiaowu could recover from his shock, the door was suddenly opened and a green-robed man rushed in.
"Brother Li, you don't know. Today, I found a wonderful person in the Qinyue Restaurant."
Seeing the newcomer, Chen Xiaowu's eyes widened. "Xiao Yan?"
"Brother Li, why did you call me by my name today?" A trace of panic flashed through Xiao Yan's eyes, but he quickly concealed it.
Chen Xiaowu's eyes were drifting. "Er... I heard you say that there is a wonderful person in the Qinyue Restaurant. I can't help but feel a little excited."
Seeing Xiao Yan, Chen Xiaowu couldn't dodge in time. How could he be excited? He was clearly afraid.
Xiao Yan was a cunning person. On the surface, he addressed young master Li as his brother, but in reality, he had betrayed him in secret, causing everyone in the manor to know about him.
However, Young Master Li was still on good terms with Xiao Yan. They would go back and forth to the firework and wine place every day, never returning. They would not return for the entire night.
Old Master Li really could not tolerate the good-for-nothing Young Master Li. He was so angry that his old illness had relapsed. A month before he had an accident, he had died of illness on his bed.
"Brother Li, don't be anxious. Take this opportunity to pay your respects in the residence. Why don't you follow this little brother to see the true appearance of that wonderful person?"
"There's no need!" Chen Xiaowu exclaimed, saying, "I have to go and worship Master Li... Ah, no, to worship my father."
Danger warning!
The host was deviating from the plot. Please agree to Xiao Yan's request immediately, or else you will be severely punished.
What the hell... Why is there a voice in my mind all of a sudden?
"Brother Li is really not going? That is a wonderful person that is hard to come by in a hundred years. If I don't take a look at it, I will regret it for you."
Xiao Yan would feel regret for Young Master Li? Don't joke around. Even Dai Xiaozi, who had just passed away by an elder, could carefully scheme against him. He would definitely not be so kind.
Chen Xiaowu waved his hand at Xiao Yan and said righteously, If he did not go, he would not go. He did not need to say anything more.
However, the last sentence was suddenly sealed in his mouth. He could not say a word for a long time.
Host, please complete the following storyline according to the script. Otherwise, you will be sent back to your original soul state.
In his mind, the voice sounded again.
Chen Xiaowu was so scared that tears streamed down his face. He secretly asked in his heart, "Completing the plot, what benefits can I get?
Completing the plot, you will return to your original body and marry Red Jade.
Red Jade... She will actually become my wife! And I can actually return to my original body.
Knowing that such a good thing happened, Chen Xiaowu immediately beamed with joy. He even began to fantasize about the names of his and Red Jade children.
Host, please note that you must complete the main mission of the plot in order to obtain these rewards. Progress bar: 1%.
Host, please work hard!
Xiao Yan saw Chen Xiaowu crying and laughing. He thought that Chen Xiaowu had been provoked and started to go crazy.
After hesitating for a while, Xiao Yan still did not give up and asked, "Brother Li, are you really not going to the Qinyue Restaurant?"
Chen Xiaowu's expression changed, and he immediately pulled Xiao Yan's sleeve. "Who said you are not going? Go, go now, immediately!"
However, when they arrived at the entrance of the Lunar Tower, Chen Xiaowu still felt a little guilty.
Young Master Li was elegant, handsome, and had been an official for generations. He was very famous in Luoyang City.
Even when he came to places like the Qinyue Restaurant, Young Master Li was still a person who was surrounded by the stars.
On the other hand, Chen Xiaowu's family was poor. Although his mother was a doctor, Chen Xiaowu did not like his mother. When he was very young, he escaped from the fishing village and started to beg for a living.
Later, it was Mrs. Li who saw Chen Xiaowu fall to the ground pitifully on the street. He was on the verge of death, and her heart softened for a moment. She took him into the mansion as a carriage carrier.
Only then did Chen Xiaowu regain his life.
As soon as he entered the Qinyue Restaurant, all kinds of sweet and sweet fragrance assaulted his face. Chen Xiaowu didn't like the overly heavy fragrance, so he couldn't help but cover his mouth and nose.
The procuress's eyes and eyes were very good. When she saw Chen Xiaowu, she hurriedly came over to greet him.
"It's been a long time. Young Master Li is in high spirits. Miss Red Card has been looking forward to seeing you."
Xiao Yan frowned and glared at the procuress. "Brother Li is here today because he has other matters to attend to. Go and tell the kitchen to prepare a table of dishes and dishes."
The procuress saw that something was wrong and nodded. "Yes."
After sending the procuress away, Xiao Yan immediately led Chen Xiaowu to a private room.
The private room was on the third floor. The windows were open and ventilated. When the fragrance that was attached to his body gradually dissipated, Chen Xiaowu finally heaved a sigh of relief.
The procuress was very efficient. Before long, all kinds of delicacies were served on the table. They were all dishes that Chen Xiaowu had never seen before.
A servant brought wine to the table. There were ten jars of wine, and one jar had already been opened.
Chen Xiaowu smelled the wine and remembered that night when Young Master Li was drunk.
It turned out that Xiao Yan did it on purpose. Not only did he frame him, but he also ruined Young Master Li's reputation.
Chen Xiaowu felt like he was sitting on pins and needles. He was in a dilemma. He had no choice but to pick up his chopsticks and eat the food. He was determined not to touch the wine.
When Xiao Yan saw this, he thought that Chen Xiaowu would drink when he saw a good person. He immediately clapped his hands. "Brother Li, the wonderful person that you are thinking about is coming..."
Hearing this, Chen Xiaowu put down his chopsticks and stopped eating.
Seeing Xiao Yan's smile, Chen Xiaowu's heart tightened. He suddenly had an ominous feeling.
