Young Master, Don't Show Off - Chapter 3
[Chapter 3: Unintentional]
Pavilion.
A private room on the second floor.
Lin Xiu was comforting Haitang.
Through the conversation just now, he had learned about Haitang’s life experience.
She was originally born in an ordinary peasant family in Jiangning Prefecture, Daxia. She was the eldest daughter in the family. Her family was poor and the family of three could only barely make ends meet. Later, her parents gave birth to a son, and the family of four could no longer continue.
In order to exchange for a few taels of silver, her parents sold her to a wealthy family in the city.
This was not a bad thing. Although her fate would not belong to her after selling her body, at least she could survive and would not starve to death. Her parents and younger brother would also live a better life than before.
But the owner of the wealthy family coveted her body. If it were not for the jealousy of the mistress, she would have taken action against her long ago. After noticing her husband’s thoughts, the mistress would beat and scold her at will. She would vent her anger on her if she was not satisfied. Later, she directly sold her to a brothel.
Facing the guests arranged by the brothel, she refused to obey at first, but after being beaten and tortured several times, she gave up resistance.
Then, it was the growth path of an ordinary brothel girl.
Lin Xiu gently held the woman’s hand and sighed, “The past is gone, the past is over, people still have to look forward, you still have a future.”
Lin Xiu was stalling for time, but not entirely.
At first, he looked down on these brothel girls, but later this mentality changed.
People like Haitang, from birth, their fate is not in their hands, they themselves are powerless to change anything.
Being reminded of the past by Lin Xiu, Haitang’s eyes were a little moist, but she still shook her head and said, “Mr. What you said is easy, people like me, what future do you have?”
Lin Xiu gently patted her hand and said, “Actually, I can understand your feelings. After my parents divorced, they married each other. I don’t understand, I am also their child, why don’t they want me…” In
another life, Lin Xiu’s parents divorced and formed their own families.
After that, Lin Xiu seemed to be forgotten. The two rarely contacted Lin Xiu, but they never treated him badly in terms of money.
But they don’t know that what Lin Xiu lacked was never money.
However, being rich also has its advantages, that is, there is never a lack of people around to accompany you. This may be the reason why every few days when Lin Xiu gets up, there will be a beautiful face around her, but there are still so many people who come one after another.
Lin Xiu pays, they work, and each takes what they need.
After a long time, Lin Xiu breathed a sigh of relief, completely sealed some memories, and no longer recalled them.
After all, this is a matter of the last life.
Haitang looked up at Lin Xiu and said in disbelief: “Young Master has such an experience?”
Lin Xiu smiled slightly and said: “That’s all in the past. People like us should not always think about the past, but think more about the future. The past cannot be changed, and the future has everything possible…”
Haitang’s body trembled, as if she was thinking carefully about Lin Xiu’s words, and the room fell into silence.
At this time, a light flashed in Lin Xiu’s eyes.
Give him a moment, and he can copy all the abilities in Haitang’s body!
At this moment, there was a noisy sound outside the door, mixed with the shouting of the old brothel owner.
“Hey, girl, you can’t go in!”
“Girl, girl…”
…
Bang!
The door of this room suddenly opened.
No, it didn’t open, it fell down.
The two heavy door panels fell straight down.
A tall woman in white stood at the door, staring at Lin Xiu, gritting her teeth and saying, “Lin Xiu, you dare to visit a brothel!”
With the appearance of the woman in white, it seemed that the temperature of the whole room dropped a few degrees.
Lin Xiu looked at the woman in white with a confused look on his face: “Who are you?”
The woman in white strode to Lin Xiu’s side, grabbed his wrist, and said coldly: “Come back with me!”
Lin Xiu had no memory of this body, did not know this woman at all, and did not know the relationship between the two, but no matter what their relationship was, as long as he was given a little more time, he would have Haitang’s ability.
Being grabbed by the wrist by the woman in white, Lin Xiu hurriedly said: “Wait a moment, just a moment…”
However, the next moment, a huge force came from his wrist, and Lin Xiu was directly pulled up by her and dragged out of the room.
The hand he held with Haitang also broke in the next moment.
Just like when copying a file, the progress has reached 99%, but the USB drive is ruthlessly unplugged.
The ability in Lin Xiu’s body that was almost perfect completely collapsed and disappeared.
“No!”
Lin Xiu roared in grief and anger, but it was of no avail.
He suddenly shook off the woman’s hand and said angrily: “What are you doing!”
The woman in white did not expect Lin Xiu to be able to burst out with such great strength, but she did not think about it carefully, but asked with a cold face: “Should I ask you this question?”
Lin Xiu asked: “Who are you to me? Why do you ask me?”
His words were angry and questioning.
The woman in white looked at Lin Xiu, and her chest, which was already quite large, began to rise and fall rhythmically.
Such a person is actually her future brother-in-law?
How can he be worthy of the proud daughter of the Zhao family?
It was fine before. Although Lin Xiu did not awaken the strange arts and did not practice martial arts, she did not have any bad deeds. After all, it was an engagement made by the older generation decades ago. She was not good at saying anything except being angry for her sister.
But today, he actually saw Lin Xiu visiting a brothel. Even though he was engaged to his sister, he actually visited a brothel in broad daylight, and he pretended not to know her!
“You’re still pretending!”
Bang!
She was so angry that she kicked Lin Xiu without caring about the skirt she was wearing. After awakening the strange power, Lin Xiu’s reaction was much faster. He quickly retreated, glanced at her casually, and thought to himself that the beauty in front of him really liked white.
“Where are you looking!”
Lin Xiu’s gaze did not escape the woman in white. She was ashamed and angry. She immediately put down her legs and attacked Lin Xiu with a knife.
Her speed was much faster than before. Lin Xiu did not dodge this time. She only felt a pain in the back of her neck, and her body softened, and she fell to the ground.
Looking at Lin Xiu who fainted on the ground, the woman in white’s chest rose and fell for a long time, and her anger gradually subsided.
She said coldly: “Sun Dali, take him back!” No one responded to her words. The woman in white turned her head and looked. Sun Dali had already run away.
She stomped her feet angrily and kicked Lin Xiu’s butt hard a few times, then carried him on her shoulders and strode out of the room.
Haitang was already scared and sat at the table in a daze. It was the old procuress at the door who came to her senses first and hurriedly shouted: “He, he hasn’t paid yet!”
…
When Lin Xiu opened his eyes, he still saw Sun Dali’s square face.
He vaguely remembered that he seemed to have been knocked unconscious by the woman in white.
Thinking of the woman in white, Lin Xiu sat up from the bed reflexively, and then fell down again.
The pain from his butt made his expression a little ferocious.
Sun Dali hurriedly said, “Master, don’t panic, the person is gone.”
Lin Xiu covered his butt, looking a little flustered, and asked, “What happened after I fainted!”
Sun Dali explained, “Master, don’t worry. When the second lady carried you back, your butt was swollen. I saw it clearly outside at the time. She kicked it swollen…”
Kicked…
Lin Xiu breathed a sigh of relief, and then realized something. He looked at Sun Dali and said angrily, “You are my bodyguard, and you just watched her kick me?”
Sun Dali retracted his head and said helplessly, “Then I am not the opponent of the second lady. It’s useless to go up. I can hide aside and report to the rescue…”
Lin Xiu looked at this square face and forced himself to resist the urge to slap him.
He had reason to suspect that this guy was an undercover sent by the enemy to the Lin family.
But after thinking about it carefully, what he said seemed to make some sense. Lin Xiu gritted his teeth and planned to remember this account for him first, and asked: “Who is she?”
Sun Dali said in disbelief: “Master, you don’t even recognize the second lady?” Lin Xiu
shook his head and said: “Didn’t I say that I can’t remember anything.”
Sun Dali came back to his senses and immediately explained: “Of course it is the second lady of the Zhao family. You and the eldest lady of the Zhao family have been engaged since childhood. Calculated, the second lady should be your sister-in-law…”
Lin Xiu was stunned: “What… engagement?”
Sun Dali hurriedly said: “Master, don’t worry, I will tell you slowly…”
Lin Xiu listened to Sun Dali’s story in astonishment.
Decades ago, probably the generation of the grandfathers of the Lin and Zhao families, the Lin and Zhao families were close friends. At that time, in order to strengthen the relationship, the two families made an engagement for the next generation.
Unfortunately, the next generation of the two families were all men, so the engagement continued to Lin Xiu’s generation.
Eighteen years ago, the Zhao family gave birth to a daughter, and the Lin family gave birth to a son, and the engagement made by the previous generation was officially established.
But in the past ten years, the Lin family has become more and more decadent, while the Zhao family has risen to prominence. So far, one family has become a new wealthy family in Daxia, while the other family is about to fall out of the ranks of the powerful. This marriage contract has naturally fallen into an awkward situation.
In addition, the eldest daughter of the Zhao family, Lin Xiu’s fiancée, awakened a powerful strange art when she was young. She is a well-deserved daughter of heaven, while Lin Xiu is just an ordinary person. The gap in reality also makes it impossible for this marriage contract to be realized.
After hearing this, Lin Xiu was stunned.
Marriage contract?
What a joke, marriage is impossible. He can’t get married in his previous life and this life.
The failed marriage of his parents in his previous life left a big psychological shadow on him when he was still young, which directly led to Lin Xiu’s fear of marriage later.
Just thinking about marriage makes him feel cold all over.
Lin Xiu later saw a psychologist. The doctor who spoke very philosophically told Lin Xiu that he was not afraid of marriage, but he just hadn’t met a woman he was willing to marry.
The more he feared something, the more he longed for it.
To be honest, this sentence hurts the heart.
Lin Xiu actually envied those families with happy marriages. This was something he wanted very much, but he had never gotten it.
Later, he comforted himself like this. For someone like him, what’s the good of getting married? Marriage means responsibility. How can he gallop after getting married?
This idea has continued to this day.
This marriage must be canceled. What era is it, and there is still arranged marriage. For the sake of his happy future, Lin Xiu will never allow this marriage to exist.
But then again, if there really is such a marriage, then the beating he just received was not in vain. It is reasonable
for the sister-in-law to see her future brother-in-law visiting a brothel and get angry and start a fight.
Lin Xiu suddenly realized something and immediately asked, “Wait, you just said that I was carried back by the second lady of the Zhao family?”
Sun Dali shook his head and corrected him, “It was carried.”
Lin Xiu didn’t care whether it was carried or carried. It would take a long time to walk from Pinfang Pavilion to the Lin family, not to mention carrying a person. During this time, many things happened.
He asked eagerly, “Has the second young lady of the Zhao family awakened her special arts?”
“Of course.” Sun Dali said affirmatively, “The second young lady awakened the special arts of ice, which is considered powerful even among all the special arts…”
Lin Xiu took a deep breath, nodded, and said, “You go down, I want to rest.”
It was already late at night, and Sun Dali walked to the door of the room and said, “Then young master, you rest first. Call me if you have anything. I’ll be next door.”
After Sun Dali closed the door and left, Lin Xiu stretched out his palm and exhaled lightly.
The next moment, a layer of frost began to slowly condense on his palm.
The temperature around him suddenly dropped a few degrees.
There are not many drafts in stock, so there will be no update today. The update time will be 12:30 noon and 8:30 pm.
