Chapter 264 The rotten scheme.
Fang Hao lifted Fang Chi by locking his arms around his waist, compared to him Fang Chi was a lot more bigger and taller thus it was really hard for him to pick him off the ground and put him in the wooden box in which he was hiding. Fang Chi has been eating well ever since he was engaged to Yu Dong, the latter would often send him meat and fish that she caught thus his weight wasn’t as negligible as it once was and coupled with the fact that he was unconscious, Fang Hao was breaking in a sweat as he dumped Fang Chi’s unconscious body in the wooden box and closed the lid.Only after taking care of Fang Chi did he turn around to look at Fang Nan who was picking up the wedding dress that has fallen on the floor and was clicking his tongue. ” Just look at the fabric of this dress, it’s cheap and the quality is so poor that I don’t even want to talk about it much less wear it. To think that he and that old woman would actually save money on such a special occasion like this, tsk, tsk. What a shame.”
Fang Hao: “….” ???? Bro, are you really complaining about the material of the dress when you are here to gatecrash the wedding and steal Fang Chi’s bride? Are you alright in your head?
However, no matter what Fang Hao thought, he didn’t say anything out loud. There was a time when he used to think that Fang Nan, this cousin of his was a gentle and naive mer but after seeing him scheme against Fang Chi one thing after the another just because he fancied Yu Dong because of her good looks and wealth, the image that Fang Hao had in his head regarding Fang Nan went through a drastic change. Now, that he knew what exactly Fang Nan was capable of he didn’t dare to go out of his way and say anything offensive. He swallowed hard as he watched Fang Nan change his clothes and hesitatingly said, ” are you sure that this plan of yours will succeed? Though that woman doesn’t have any powerful title, she doesn’t look like an easy person to bully.”
Fang Nan immediately turned around and glared at him. ” are you trying to jinx this for me? Do you think that this is the time and place for you to say such things? I have worked hard on this plan and we are finally on the last step, and now you want to back out? Of course, I know that things are going to be hard for me but as long as I go through all the rituals and cross this house’s threshold, I will be her husband, even if she didn’t accept me, she will have to accept me nonetheless.”
As he spoke he changed his clothes, first donning the shirt and then the flowing pants. While he was wearing the shirt, his gaze fell on the little fish that Fang Chi has embroidered on it and snickered. ‘Looks like this guy despite getting engaged under those circumstances liked Yu Dong quite a long, I can’t wait to see his expression once he finds himself in someone’s else bed.’
Fang Hao watched his cousin bustle around silently, he felt that what they were doing was a bit too much. Though he hated Fang Chi because of this background but his hatred was limited to just that, he didn’t despise Fang Chi this bad that he would try to ruin his marriage. But Fang Nan had sweet-talked their entire family, and they all thought that Yu Dong was indeed the perfect candidate for Fang Nan’s bride, she was good looking and had connections in the town and most importantly she was rich.
After grandma Fang left, his mother and aunts tried to take over the business but they didn’t have the talent to run a successful business and in just a few years they ended up taking a lot of loans and the debts their family had was too much for them to pay back. Now the Fang family which was famous for being their successful business were nothing but an empty shell. Thus, the plan even though it was risky, the Fang family all agreed to it.
” Come help me comb” once Fang Nan finished dressing up, he handed the comb to Fang Hao who took it with a stupefied expression, he looked down at the comb in his hand like it was some sort of mega jumbo spider and spluttered, ” B…But this is generally done by a married mer!”
Fang Nan sat down in front of the dressing table and glared at Fang Hao through the mirror. ” so you want me to call a married mer now? Are you stupid? just comb my hair and give me the blessings why are you talking so much?”
Fang Hao shivered, he was really angry. Give him his blessings? Then what about him? Didn’t he know that an unmarried mer never did this ritual? However, no matter how angry and anxious he was in the end, Fang Hao simply took a deep breath and combed Fang Nan’s hair for him just like Yuehua had done for Fang Chi. Fang Nan had the backing of the family elders he would be kicked out if he messed up with this plan.
Once he was done, he carefully pinned Fang Nan’s hair and put on the hair ornament before putting on the veil and covering his face. ” remember to hide your hands and don’t let anyone touch them, you might have darkened them with makeup but your hands are much softer and smaller when compared with Fang Chi, anyone who knows him will be able to spot the difference so you better take care of this.”
” I know,” said Fang Nan as he stood up and glanced at the wooden box in which they have dumped Fang Chi and ruthlessly added, ” Remember to deliver this box to the correct place, as soon as possible. I don’t want anyone to create a mess of this plan for which strived so hard.”
Fang Hao glanced at the wooden box and nodded, ” Got it.” Even if it was a pity, he had no other choice.
