Chapter 194 Attend a Banquet to End the Hatred
Liu Rumei’s behavior made the lively hall quiet down. Most people paid attention to Bai Aoxue there.
They saw what Liu Chunjiang and Liu Rumei had just done and she was leaning in his arms like this now. They began to whisper.
Liu Chunjiang did not expect that things would unexpectedly develop into such a situation. He originally wanted to push her. She would naturally understand what he meant.
He wanted her to naturally fall into the arms of Nalan Youhong to make an illusion that she was very intimate with him. But he didn’t expect that she was an idiot who chose the wrong person.
But most of all, the guy in front of Liu Chunjiang was not only ungrateful but also humiliated him in public like this and seemed to despise him very much. Thinking of this, Liu Chunjiang just wanted to clench his fist and found Liu Rumei still leaning in his arms. He could not help being shocked. Then he looked around and found a lot of people wearing an ambiguous expression in their eyes.
Liu Chunjiang hurriedly pushed Liu Rumei away. He pretended to be calm and said, “Rumei, what happened to you?”
Liu Rumei was pushed away to take a few steps back by him. She looked up at Bai Aoxue’s sarcastic and cold eyes, and her heart trembled violently, but she was called by Liu Chunjiang and came to her senses.
She seemed to be understanding and said, “Uncle, I’m fine. I lost my footing just now, which caused some inconvenience to Young Master. I beg for your pardon.”
There was a moment of pain in her arm, but she couldn’t feel it at all now as if it hadn’t appeared at all. So, Liu Rumei didn’t care about it.
Everyone listened to the words of Liu Rumei, and they found that it was because Liu Rumei lost her footing that it was led to this situation.
Bai Aoxue slightly said, “You don’t have to apologize. I’m a neat freak by nature. I am sick of the strong smell of your rouge. That’s why I didn’t hold you just now. I don’t think you will blame me.” But the words humiliated Liu Rumei again.
And the words made everyone seriously look at this indifferent young man in front of them.
Everyone gasped heavily at first glance. Even Nalan Youhong around him was like a foil.
Everyone had never seen such an amazing face.
Liu Rumei had to hold back her anger. She looked at Bai Aoxue and said reluctantly, “That’s all right. How can I blame you?”
Liu Chunjiang looked at Bai Aoxue in a trance for a moment. He thought no one looked better than the young man in front of him except Prince Peerless who was superior and dignified.
“May I have your name?” Liu Chunjiang carefully looked at Bai Aoxue for a while and asked cautiously.
The young man in front of him seemed to be unreachable and powerful at first sight. Liu Chunjiang thought he should not be an ordinary person. So, his tone was more serious.
“Fort Lord Liu may not know that Aofeng is my cousin. My father repeatedly told me to take him with me this time and to come out to practice.” Nalan Youhong first said for Bai Aoxue and deliberately emphasized his father in order to show the importance of Bai Aoxue.
Liu Chunjiang listened to the words Nalan Youhong, and then he paid more attention to Bai Aoxue instead of despising him.
If Nalan Youhong had not mentioned his father, perhaps Liu Chunjiang would not have attached importance to Bai Aoxue. Since Nalan Youhong said that, he would attach great importance to Bai Aoxue as he expected. Anyway, people of Nalan’s family must be beneficial to him once he cozied up to one of them before his eyes.
“So, you are Young Master Nalan’s cousin. I appreciate it that you two are willing to attend this small banquet, which adds some glitters to Liujiabao. I’ll do the honors for you in Yangzhou and hope that you’ll have a good time here.” Liu Chunjiang said modestly.
“You are so kind. Once you invited me, I could not wait to bring my cousin to come over. The Falling Flower Festival is also a good holiday in Yangzhou.” Nalan Youhong said with a smile and looked very innocent.
Liu Chunjiang said happily, “Ha-ha! What an honor it is!” Everyone liked flattery including Liu Chunjiang. Furthermore, he was flattered by one of the richest men in the Great Continent.
A stratagem came to Liu Chunjiang’s mind, and he shrewdly said, “You are not familiar with Yangzhou. I will let Mei show you around.”
Bai Aoxue listened to the words of Liu Chunjiang, and then she smiled coldly and thought in her mind that Mei might not live till tomorrow.
Nalan Youhong flatly replied, “Well, I am worried that I am not familiar with Yangzhou. Thank you for your kindness in advance.”
“Let Mei take you to have a seat.” Seeing that the effect which he wanted had been achieved, Liu Chunjiang stopped staying here and was ready to meet the other guests.
They were the most important roles in the banquet this time.
“It will be helpful.” Nalan Youhong also didn’t want to stand here and to be watched by people. Especially he felt that there were waves of coldness beside him, so he couldn’t wait to agree.
Liu Rumei smiled bewitchingly and looked at Bai Aoxue. She said, “Please come with me.”
Bai Aoxue nodded gently and turned a blind eye to her glad eyes.
They walked on the road. Liu Rumei deliberately got close to Bai Aoxue and quite shyly said, “Is this your first visit to Yangzhou?”
Bai Aoxue still did not say anything and even did not look at Liu Rumei.
“Don’t be offended, Miss Liu. That’s how my cousin treats girls he doesn’t like. It’s already a habit.” Nalan Youhong opened his mouth and said for Bai Aoxue. The hidden meaning was that he didn’t like you and you were so annoying.
Liu Rumei could tell what Nalan Youhong meant in his words, but she really liked Bai Aoxue. The more he ignored her, the more she wanted to challenge.
She didn’t believe it. Would the man still be like this if he was attracted by her charm?
“Who is she?” When Liu Rumei was lost in her thoughts, an indifferent voice with some fascination sounded.
Liu Rumei looked up at Bai Aoxue pointing to Liu Wan in the distance.
As soon as she saw Liu Wan, she said gloomily, “She is Liu Wan, an adopted daughter of my uncle. You don’t have to care about her. The woman has been a little strange since she was a child, and everyone doesn’t like her.”
Bai Aoxue ignored Liu Rumei’s words directly and gently opened her sexy thin lips. She said, “Let her come over.”
Liu Rumei was attracted by the appearance of Bai Aoxue. She was stunned and waved at Liu Wan who also looked at them in the distance.
Liu Wan saw Liu Rumei waving at her. She saw the person next to Liu Rumei who made her stunned at first, but then she calmed down and walked quickly towards them.
“Do you know where the banquet hall is?” Bai Aoxue asked, looking at Liu Wan who came to her side.
Although Liu Wan didn’t know the meaning of Bai Aoxue, but she still cooperated with her and nodded.
“Then you lead the way.” Bai Aoxue calmly said. She was indifferent and had the undoubted momentum, which made Liu Rumei have no courage to object.
“Miss Liu, if you have other things to do, you won’t have to worry about such a little thing of leading the way.” Bai Aoxue turned her head and gently smiled with the corners of her mouth upward. She looked at Liu Rumei and said.
Liu Rumei was shocked by Bai Aoxue’s smile which was sudden for a moment. She could not return to her mind in an instant and just nodded stiffly.
Bai Aoxue turned her head and faintly glanced at Liu Wan. Liu Wan just nodded her head without trace.
“Please, Young Masters.”
Bai Aoxue nodded to give a sign to Nalan Youhong. She left with Liu Wan at the volley.
Nalan Youhong slightly shook his head behind. He did not expect that both men and women unexpectedly liked Bai Aoxue so much. When he looked at Liu Rumei, she even lost her wits.
Liu Wan led Bai Aoxue and Nalan Youhong to detour a few times to a hidden back garden.
Liu Wan looked respectfully at Bai Aoxue and shouted, “My benefactor!”
Nalan Youhong questioningly looked at Liu Wan and asked, “Gee… Can you tell it?”
Liu Wan looked at Nalan Youhong. She knew this person but did not say anything. After all, she had her precautions.
“He’s one of us. Put this away by yourself and follow me into the hall later.” Bai Aoxue glanced at Nalan Youhong and handed over the letter in her sleeve to Liu Wan.
Liu Wan hesitantly received the letter, but she looked at Bai Aoxue’s firm eyes and slowly opened the letter.
Bai Aoxue and Nalan Youhong did not speak. The brief silence made the air more oppressive.
Liu Wan put away the letter in a short time and handed it over to Bai Aoxue. She said, “You should keep the letter, my benefactor. I’m afraid that I can’t help fighting with Liu Chunjiang after I get into the hall.”
Bai Aoxue looked at her red eyes. Her eyes were full of tears that were about to drip down from the corners. There was intense hatred and strong hostility in the eyes as if they would never dissipate.
Bai Aoxue sighed gently and took over the letter. She gently patted her shoulder and then said, “Today is the day of ending your hatred. Hold back your tears because your vengeance has not been finished yet. You should not be weak.”
Liu Wan listened to the words of Bai Aoxue. She took a deep breath heavily and closed her eyes. When she opened her eyes again, the tears had disappeared, and her eye was more determined.
Bai Aoxue looked at Liu Wan who had been already prepared and said faintly, “Let’s go. Attend this banquet to end your hatred. It should all be over.”
She went out of the hidden back garden first.
Liu Wan and Nalan Youhong then followed Bai Aoxue to get out of the back garden, and soon they came to the banquet hall.
As soon as they entered the banquet hall, Bai Aoxue heard the chipper laughter of Liu Chunjiang.
“Ha-ha… The second lord can come to our Liujiabao. I am really surprised.”
Bai Aoxue heard it and looked at Nalan Youhong. Her eyes were filled with cold lights.
“I didn’t expect the Ink-blood Tower to come over this time. I think that the whereabouts of Yan have been exposed, and we must do it quickly.” Nalan Youhong whispered in Bai Aoxue’s ear.
He looked a little more serious.
“All right. Kill him earlier in order to avenge what happened last time.” Bai Aoxue looked at the entrance of the banquet hall. A homicidal intention flashed through her eyes.
Just when Liu Wan and Nalan Youhong were appalled by her homicidal intention, Bai Aoxue’s suffocating and homicidal intention disappeared as if it had never appeared before.
However, people outside the banquet hall finally came in at that moment when she restrained her homicidal intention.
