Chapter 156: Long-winded
Xiao Lingsheng told Bai Mingyao about the affairs of the Shen Mansion when he brought him food in the evening.
"What! The old lady arranged these things for me? I have a fiancée, why do I need her to do these things? Don't be too much, I want to go back immediately!"
As he said that, Bai Mingyao got up, put on his shoes and was about to leave, but Xiao Lingsheng immediately stopped him.
"Don't leave, don't you want to eat? There are so many people visiting you today, and you haven't eaten anything yet, not even a sip of water!"
Bai Mingyao was talking to Xiao Lingsheng while putting on his clothes.
"What should I eat? If I get married for no reason, Chuchu will never want me. What's going on? The old lady is really going too far. I'm going to go back and refuse the marriage. I can't sleep anymore. If I continue to be unconscious, something bad will happen."
"Hey, hey, hey, wait a minute, why don't you ask who Old Lady Shen arranged for you?"
Xiao Lingsheng slammed the door shut and blocked Bai Mingyao from leaving.
"Get out of my way. Who cares who she is? Anyway, I, Xiao Yu, will only marry one person in this life, and that person is Cheng Jinchu. It is absolutely impossible for me to marry anyone else. Will you let me go?"
"Uncle, please sit down first. I'll let you go after you finish your meal. You're in this state. What if you faint during the meal? Although your coma is fake, you were indeed injured by the kick. Come on, sit down and eat something. I went to Guangjinglou specifically to get the food back."
Bai Mingyao frowned, but went back to sit down and eat. He hadn't eaten for a whole day, and he was a little dizzy due to injuries. If he fainted in some remote corner, it would be troublesome if he went back only after Old Lady Shen arranged the marriage.
“Okay, I’ll eat it!”
Bai Mingyao walked to the table, opened the food box, and took out the rice and vegetables inside.
"Uncle, are you really not curious about who Old Lady Shen found for you?"
Watching Bai Mingyao sit down to eat, Xiao Lingsheng sat opposite Bai Mingyao, leaned his head on the table with his hands, and looked at Bai Mingyao.
Bai Mingyao ate seriously. He didn't say anything, just shook his head. He didn't care who it was. Anyway, it wouldn't be his Chu Chu. At present, Chu Chu's identity was Shen Yun's daughter. With her current identity, it was impossible for Old Lady Shen to give Chu Chu to him. Moreover, Shen Yun would not agree.
"At the beginning, it was about Shen Qing, the daughter of the second house!"
Xiao Lingsheng could see that Bai Mingyao really didn't care, but, so what? It wouldn't affect his continued output. He had to share this good news with Bai Mingyao. However, good things were good things, and he had to let him calm down first. If he was unhappy, then he could turn the situation around. Wouldn't that make him happier than just telling him good things directly?
"Shut up! I'll leave right after I finish my meal!"
Xiao Lingsheng watched Bai Mingyao finish half a bowl of rice quickly, and began to get anxious. There was no turning point yet, but he was not in the mood to listen anymore. Wouldn't that mean the effect he wanted would be gone? Moreover, he had better not go back at this time. If he went back, would there be any good things?
"Don't be anxious. But, Shen Qing actually doesn't like you. Did you know? She doesn't like you. Really, uncle, this is the first time I've met a woman who doesn't like you! Hahahahahahahaha... It's so funny. There will be a day when you will be disliked. My people who are guarding the Shen Mansion came back and said that Shen Qing said that you are useless except for your good looks! Hahahahahahaha..."
Bai Mingyao ignored Xiao Lingsheng. He didn't care about anyone's evaluation of him. He only cared about Chuchu. Does it matter whether other women like him or not? It doesn't matter at all! So, Bai Mingyao continued to eat his meal. After eating, he went back to stop Old Lady Shen from leaving.
"How can you not be angry? A girl like Shen Qing actually looks down on you. She looks like her father. If she were her sister, she would be much better. Also, she is the daughter of a merchant. Her family only relies on Shen Yun. Wow, she actually said that. You don't know. When I knew this, I couldn't believe it."
Actually, Shen Qing was not as ugly as Xiao Lingsheng said. She was not ugly, but she was definitely not pretty, mainly because her skin was relatively dark. Generally, fair skin was considered beautiful among ladies. Therefore, in the eyes of those men, she was not good-looking.
Shen Qing's sister, Shen Yue, looks very much like Yu and has fair skin. When Yu was young, she looked like a delicate little white flower. Therefore, compared to Shen Qing, Shen Yue is more in line with the aesthetic taste of those young masters.
“She refused. Did Mrs. Shen agree?”
Bai Mingyao is more concerned about this.
"Old Lady Shen scolded her and told her to make clear her status. She rejected you and looked down on you. The old lady said she had no right to look down on you."
Xiao Lingsheng did not give a direct answer. Bai Mingyao took a deep breath and thought, forget it, he would go back and handle it himself.
"Okay, I've finished my meal, let's go!"
Bai Mingyao put down his bowl and chopsticks and was about to leave, but Xiao Lingsheng quickly stopped him. Bai Mingyao stared at Xiao Lingsheng with a frown.
"Xiao Lingsheng, get out of my way. Why do you always stop me?"
"Uncle, wait for me to finish speaking. I advise you to listen to me before deciding whether to leave or not! Otherwise, you will regret it. This matter is related to Miss Cheng!"
Bai Mingyao didn't want to listen to his nagging, so he pushed Xiao Lingsheng away and was about to leave. As soon as he opened the door, he heard what Xiao Lingsheng said. Then, he closed the door, went into the room and sat down.
"explain!"
When Xiao Lingsheng saw Bai Mingyao walk to the table and sit down, he also walked over and sat opposite Bai Mingyao.
"Uncle, sometimes, don't be so impatient. You can't eat hot tofu if you are impatient. You have to understand..."
"Say it or not?"
There is one thing about Xiao Lingsheng that Bai Mingyao can't tolerate the most, and that is that he is extremely long-winded. As a result, every time Xiao Lingsheng starts to speak, Bai Mingyao's first reaction is irritation.
"Okay, okay, I said, in the end, Shen Qing refused, and the old lady got angry, and even scolded Shen An..."
“Get to the point!”
Xiao Lingsheng wanted to tell the story slowly, but the person who was listening to the story lost his patience. He sighed and said, "Forget it. My uncle doesn't like to listen to stories. He is just a boring man. No wonder Miss Cheng didn't even look at him after he had been pursuing her for so long. How boring it must be to be with him!"
"That's right. In the end, because Shen Qing refused, Old Lady Shen didn't want you to marry her anymore, so she arranged for you to marry another girl from the Shen Mansion."
Bai Mingyao stood up and stared at Xiao Lingsheng closely. He was waiting for Xiao Lingsheng to tell him who it was, and then he would go back to find Old Lady Shen to cancel the marriage.
"Shen Jinyi!"
Those who were planning to leave sat down immediately after hearing the name. Bai Mingyao looked at Xiao Lingsheng with a smile. He had never liked his nephew so much before.
Xiao Lingsheng was also stunned. Could a person's expression change so quickly? It was like the sky was covered with dark clouds and thunder in the last second, and the sun came out in the next second, the world was beautiful.
"My dear nephew, please tell me more!"
Xiao Lingsheng looked at his uncle's worthless smile, and wanted to be disgusted. He just disliked him for calling him by his full name, including his first and last name. Oh, now he wants him to elaborate? Nephew, huh~
Who doesn’t have a temper? Xiao Lingsheng snorted and turned his head away, ignoring Bai Mingyao.
"In the study..."
"Uncle, I was just thinking about how to expand my speech and organize my words, haha..."
Xiao Lingsheng closed his eyes and thought, forget it, how could he have any emotions in front of his uncle? He never had any emotions.
"That's right. Shen Qing didn't disagree. He said bad things about you, saying that you are useless except for your good looks. Then Miss Cheng couldn't stand it anymore, so she refuted Shen Qing, saying that Shen Qing didn't know his own weight and dared to look down on you. Anyway, she just praised you."
"Talk about the compliments you gave me!"
Xiao Lingsheng didn't want to say this, but looking at the stars in Bai Mingyao's eyes and his expectant look, he couldn't refuse.
"She praised you for your good looks, your ability to study, and your proficiency in music, chess, calligraphy, and painting! By the way, the reason why Old Lady Shen is looking for a wife for you now is because you are in a coma. She said she wanted to bring you good luck. The wedding date has been set, but now... Hey, uncle, what are you doing?"
Xiao Lingsheng watched Bai Mingyao take off his clothes and get ready to lie down on the bed.
"I'm still unconscious, have you forgotten? By the way, what's the date?"
While Bai Mingyao covered himself with the quilt, he turned around and asked Xiao Lingsheng. Xiao Lingsheng was speechless.
"On the 12th, spend a day with her cheap sister."
