Chapter 239 Trick
After Ru Yue left, Chu Ning'an began a busy life of traveling back and forth between home and the library every day.
Kunyang Town is not big, and any disturbance here will spread quickly throughout the town.
Although Chu Ning'an had won the top three prizes in high school, and Ru Yue did not want to publicize the matter or hold a celebration, the people in the town who should know about it and those who should not know about it had already spread the news.
Many wealthy families with daughters beat their chests and stamped their feet in regret after hearing the news.
They thought to themselves, "If we had known Chu Ning'an would have such a great future, why didn't we lend a helping hand when he was down and out? If we had given him a helping hand then, perhaps we could have established a relationship with him and secured a good marriage. It's a shame it's too late now. All the benefits have gone to that little girl from a remote village!"
In a wealthy mansion in the town, a bloated and obese man in his fifties was pacing anxiously in the main hall, which was decorated in an extremely luxurious yet slightly vulgar way.
His round belly bulged out like a pregnant woman about to give birth, so much so that he couldn't even see his toes when he lowered his head. This not only made his movements quite inconvenient, but also made the people serving him nervous, fearing that he would accidentally fall to the ground and get hurt.
"Oh my god, why was I so blind that I didn't see it? Oh my god!" The fat man was like an ant on a hot pan, walking back and forth in the same place.
As he walked, he would raise his hand from time to time and slap his shiny bald head without a single hair, muttering to himself.
If someone who didn't know the truth saw his regretful look, they might really think that he had lost a large sum of gold!
As if under a spell, the bald, fat man tirelessly paced back and forth. The woman who had been quietly sitting at the head of the table finally couldn't help but speak out, "Master, don't get so anxious. This isn't a big deal. In my opinion, it's not too late to try to establish a good relationship with him!"
Hearing this, the bald fat man who was originally running around like a headless fly suddenly stopped.
His eyes, which had originally seemed a little cloudy due to annoyance, suddenly flashed with a greedy light, as if he had discovered some rare treasure.
He walked towards the woman impatiently and asked anxiously, "Xiu'er, could it be that you have come up with some brilliant idea? Tell me about it quickly!"
Looking at the woman named Xiu'er, she was not only dressed in gorgeous clothes, but her hair was also adorned with all kinds of gold hairpins, jade hairpins, pearls and gems, so many that she almost hung an entire jewelry box on her head. However, if you look closely, you can easily see that despite her gorgeous attire, her face looks very young.
"Oh, my, stop keeping me in suspense! Don't you know what the situation is in our family? It's because we don't have that kind of young, beautiful and pretty girl! Otherwise, with my ability, I would have established a relationship with that Chu Ning'an long ago!" The bald man said with a look of regret on his face, as if as long as their family had a beautiful daughter, Chu Ning'an would have to be his.
At this moment, the woman standing beside him stared at the bald man closely, with an unfathomable smile on her face. Her smile seemed to have some ill intentions, but also seemed full of confidence. However, no matter how the bald man urged her, she remained silent.
Seeing this, the bald man became more and more anxious and said quickly: "Hey, my dear Xiu'er, please speak up! As long as you can think of a way for me to take down Chu Ning'an, you can rest assured that I will do my best to help take care of the matters concerning your mother's family and your brother. When the time comes, no matter it is money or any other needs, I will take care of it all!" He patted his chest and said it with a firm vow.
Then, the bald man seemed to have suddenly thought of something. He quickly turned around and continued in a low voice: "Besides, if we can really get Chu Ning'an, hehehe... then think about it, do you still need to worry about your brother's fame and fortune? Maybe even the workshop opened by your cousin will eventually become your family's property! Hahahaha..." At this point, the bald man couldn't help laughing out loud. The laughter was full of cunning and calculation, which made people feel cold.
These two people were none other than the bald man, who had once dreamed of marrying Ru Yue as his twenty-fourth concubine. And the woman next to him was none other than Meng Wenxiu!
Back then, after the old Meng family was expelled from the family tree and driven out of the village, they left Mengjia Village. In order to have a place to settle down and rescue Meng Wenfeng, they reluctantly sent Meng Wenxiu to the Wu family and made her the 24th concubine of the bald Wu.
Meng Wenxiu said in a delicate voice: "Master, please come here quickly, and let me tell you everything..."
Baldy Wu nodded continuously as he listened, his cunning smile almost reaching his ears.
Suddenly, he burst into laughter: "Hahahaha, wonderful, wonderful, it's absolutely wonderful!" As he spoke, he stretched out his right hand and vigorously slapped his shiny forehead. At the same time, his left hand was never idle, constantly roaming and caressing Meng Wenxiu's body, making her let out a series of frivolous and wanton laughs.
