Chapter 2128: I’d Stab Her to Death at Some Point
“Ha…” Mo Juechen had a contemptuous look.
He turned to Li Jiuge. Li Jiuge quickly waved his hands. “Don’t look at me, I’m still young. I don’t want to get married any time soon.”
“Hmph…” Mo Juechen looked even more contemptuous. “Why does that matter? Anyway, you and the girl are the same age. You’re already 16. It’s time to start a family.”
“Why don’t you marry Fang Lanxin?” Li Jiuge asked Mo Juechen.
Mo Juechen raised an eyebrow. He stretched out his hand and slowly clenched it into a fist. He sighed. “You know, I’m not a patient person. I kill people like flies, so I’d stab her to death at some point.”
“We still need to think of a way to get the girl to speak. Fang Mingzhi, that cunning old fox, kept quiet about its location until he died. He even asked for one of us to marry his daughter.”
Mo Juechen examined his nails.
Gu Rui remained indifferent. Li Jiuge blinked and asked, “What are you talking about?”
“It’s not something a kid needs to know.”
“Gu Rui, why don’t you marry her? I’m only interested in the secret manual that will allow me to dominate the world. I have no interest in the rest of it.” Mo Juechen leaned forward slightly and looked at Gu Rui.
Gu Rui glanced at Mo Juechen. “Why don’t you marry her? As you said, you already kill people like flies. What difference does it make if you kill another?”
“I’m ruthless, but you’re heartless. I’m no match for you,” Mo Juechen politely complimented.
Li Jiuge shook his head. He was very confused.
Ning Shu and Xi Tao hugged each other and cried for a while. By the time they returned to the Fang family’s house, their eyes had swollen to the size of walnuts.
Ning Shu returned to her room and looked at herself in the bronze mirror. She was stunned.
“Miss, don’t worry. I’ll go get you some hot water and a compress to reduce the swelling.”
Ning Shu was shocked not by her swollen eyelids, but by her face. She’d known that she was fat, but her face was so fat that it looked like a giant plate.
Her facial features were all crowded together. Fat really did ruin everything.
Adding in her puffy eyes, she was really ugly.
Xi Tao wrung out a hot towel and put it over Ning Shu’s eyes.
“Xi Tao, how did my father fall ill?” Ning Shu asked Xi Tao with her eyes closed.
Xi Tao gently pressed on the towel and said, “Miss, the master was very kind-hearted. After the snowstorm, the master went to the affected areas to donate food and cotton coats. However, he contracted the plague while he was there.”
Ning Shu thought that the old man had died far too suddenly.
She suspected that there was a conspiracy going on.
“Xi Tao, who do you think is most suited to be my husband?” Ning Shu tried to worm info out of Xi Tao.
Xi Tao smiled and said, “Miss, this servant can’t really say. The master said that Miss can marry whoever Miss likes. Since you’re the only daughter of the master, everything the master did was for your happiness. Who do you like, Miss?”
“I just can’t make up my mind. What do you think?” Ning Shu repeated. She couldn’t just marry whoever she wanted.
Her appearance had nothing to do with the word beauty, and her weight was even more horrifying. Most men wouldn’t even want to look at her. What gave the old man the confidence that she’d be able to just marry whomever she wanted?
Those three weren’t simple.
For them to all be living here, there was no way she would believe that there weren’t any hidden schemes involved.
Anyone who paid attention would realize that something was off.
This place was far too small to contain these demons.
“Who do you think is suitable for marriage? I don’t know their backgrounds or identities. How did they enter the Fang family?” Ning Shu asked Xi Tao.
“Miss, they were all rescued by the master. The master then recognized them as his adopted sons,” Xi Tao replied.
Ning Shu: ?_?
With Mo Juechen’s skills, how could there have ever been a chance for the old man to actually save him?
Stop joking around!
If she ever had the opportunity, she had to find out if Gu Rui knew martial arts.
Ning Shu had no storyline and no memory. She didn’t know anything and could only hope to fish something useful out of Xi Tao’s mouth.
