Chapter 316: Release a Special Attack!
Chapter 316: Release a Special Attack!
Ning Shu led Yue Lan into the village. She found that Wen Ruhua was currently talking with a woman at the entrance of the village. This woman had a gold hairpin in her hair and her looks were very solid and strong. Her eyes were shining with adoration as she looked at Wen Ruhua.
However, Wen Ruhua’s expression only contained loathing and irritation. He kept glancing behind him. When he saw Ning Shu, for the first time, he acted with a good attitude towards her. He asked gently, “Cousin, why did it take you so long? I’ve been waiting for you.”
Before Ning Shu even spoke, the woman wearing the gold hairpin had already gotten her hackles up. As she pointed at Ning Shu, she asked Wen Ruhua sharply, “Mister Wen, who is this woman? What exactly is your relationship with her?”
“My relationship with her is none of your business, Lady He. I hope that in the future you won’t bother me again. If people pass around rumors, it would affect your reputation as well.”
He Xiaohua’s brows that had been shaped into very slim lines furrowed and she put her hands on her hips as she said, “Who in He Village would dare to pass around rumors about me? I like you, what of it? As long as you marry into my family, your life will become better than right now. In the future, you wouldn’t have to suffer so much whenever students couldn’t afford to pay the tuition.”
When Wen Ruhua heard He Xiaohua’s harsh, straightforward words, he said sternly, “Lady He, this scholar will only say it once more, there’s no way we will end up together. You should just give up.”
No matter what, He Xiaohua was a woman. After being flatly rejected by the man she liked while a woman as beautiful as Ning Shu was present, there was no way she could remain unaffected. She was angry and humiliated. After fiercely saying, ‘just you wait!’ to Ning Shu, she ran off while wiping at her tears.
Ning Shu lifted her brows and said to Wen Ruhua, “That girl was pretty cute, and she sincerely likes you, so why are you so against it?”
Wen Ruhua’s facial color became even worse as if it was very humiliating to be liked by He Xiaohua. He did feel that it was humiliating, especially since He Xiaohua couldn’t compare to Bai Qinxiang in terms of aura and appearance.
Wen Ruhua couldn’t deny that the current Bai Qinxiang was very beautiful. Although her face was hidden, her graceful figure and noble air wasn’t something a county bumpkin like He Xiaohua could compare to.
Her light tone earlier contained surprise at his reaction as if she thought that it was to be expected that he would only attract women of this level.
“Ding, trauma points +10. Current number of trauma points is 70.” 2333 sounded very excited. “Keep up the good work, Ning Shu! Release a special attack and make the trauma points increase straight to 100!”
Release what special attack? She had only asked a casual question, how did she end up hitting another one of Wen Ruhua’s sore spots? Why did he have such a glass heart?
Wen Ruhua flung back his sleeves and gave a cold humph. “There’s no way I can be with He Xiaohua. Her older brother uses the fact that his father is the village chief to act as a tyrant in this village. You saw earlier as well, He Xiaohua is just like her older brother and is a barbarous tyrant. No matter how terrible my circumstances are, I still wouldn’t marry such a barbarous and manner-less girl.”
Ning Shu: …
This guy should just end up single his entire life. He was seriously too narcissistic. If he, with his attitude, was placed in the modern society where the ratio of men to women were hugely disportionate with there being a lack of women, he’d definitely be cuffed right on the head.
It felt like that Wen Ruhua didn’t know how to function in society at all. He was a total pompous idiot, it was no wonder He Xiaohua’s older brother disliked Wen Ruhua so much.
Ning Shu just laughed ‘haha’ without making any comments. Next to her, Yue Lan also curled her lips in disdain.
Ning Shu followed Wen Ruhua to a thatch house. There were bamboo fences around the house and there were random vegetables planted within the fencing. It was so messy that weeds were growing everywhere.
Not far from the house was a large river. This was the river Mu Yanmeng had thrown herself into after she was stabbed and had yet another miscarriage.
