Xu Lu Cha's slender fingers hooked the hair hanging on his chest: "Let's wait two more days. How could I, Xu Lu Cha, eagerly curry favor with others?"
But thinking of how that Zhang Meng repeatedly ignored his advances, Xu Lu Cha slightly tightened his fingers.
Once he deals with Zhong Huo, he'll make her pay.
Suddenly, there was a commotion outside. Xu Lu Cha gestured for Zi Yi to go check.
Soon, Zi Yi hurried back.
"Young master, it's the master and the others coming. Quickly put on your clothes properly, or the master will scold you again."
Xu Lu Cha impatiently sat up straight and tidied his robe.
Zi Yi quickly helped Xu Lu Cha arrange his hair and clothes. By the time Xu Lu Cha was seated properly at the table, the Xu family master had reached the door.
This Xu family master, named Chen Yue, was Xu Hong's primary husband. Ever since Xu Hong had that scandalous affair with a male entertainer eight years ago and gave birth to Xu Lu Cha, Xu Lu Cha and his father Gong Mi had been thorns in his heart.
Although he didn't dare do anything to Xu Lu Cha directly due to Xu Hong's warnings, he had secretly set many obstacles for Xu Lu Cha.
Moreover, a man's marriage was usually decided by the father of the family. Xu Lu Cha couldn't possibly not know what kind of woman Chen Yue would betroth him to.
This was a major reason why Xu Lu Cha was so actively seeking a backer for himself.
Chen Yue walked into the room with an expressionless face: "As expected, entering this place makes me sick. That stench on you is just like your shameless father."
Xu Lu Cha sneered: "But women love this kind of scent. A dead, old, and ugly man like you, even if thrown on the street, not even a beggar would give you a second glance."
Chen Yue clenched his fists: "You only know how to use your filthy body to seduce men. Don't think I don't know what you've been up to lately. But Chief Zhong Huo would never look at a bastard like you."
"That remains to be seen. When the time comes, I'm afraid you'll be kneeling before this bastard, begging for favors. Ah, just thinking about being kneeled to by someone like you makes me sick."
Chen Yue sneered: "Don't daydream. Chief Zhong Huo already has a fiancé. Her fiancé is the adopted son of the current Prime Minister, of noble status and handsome appearance. How could a bastard like you compare?"
Xu Lu Cha suddenly clenched his fists, though his face remained impassive.
Zi Yi widened his eyes in surprise. So Chief Zhong actually had a fiancé.
Chen Yue couldn't see Xu Lu Cha's flustered expression, and felt irritated inside: "In ten days, you'll turn eighteen. As the primary husband of the Xu family, I should find you a good wife-master. Don't worry, I'll definitely find you a good one." He said through gritted teeth.
Having said that, Chen Yue left with a flick of his sleeve.
"Young master..." Zi Yi looked helplessly at Xu Lu Cha's cold face.
Xu Lu Cha raised his hand and poured himself a cup of tea: "Coming here specifically to tell me about Zhong Huo's affairs, to watch me make a fool of myself, this is truly that old bastard's style."
"Young master, aren't you anxious? Now Chief Zhong can't be relied upon, and in ten days, the master will arrange your marriage."
Xu Lu Cha said coldly: "Zi Yi, what's there to be anxious about? Don't we still have ten days?"
