"Haha! You ugly girl, still hiding things, aren’t you?"
Old Xue gave Su Pan’er a deep look, then turned to the robust old man next to him and said, "Old Man Lui, haven’t you always been curious about the ugly girl in this old man’s mouth? Co, co, let introduce you. This is Su Pan’er."
"Oh, so you’re Su Pan’er?"
The robust old man glances at Su Pan’er, turns to look at Lui Muyi, throws his head back and laughs, his voice sounding like a broken gong. "Yi’er, she’s Su Pan’er? She doesn’t look ugly to !"
Su Pan’er is incredulous!
How can he speak like this? So, she needs to be so ugly that no one can bear to look at her?
Although her original body was a bit stout, plump, dark, and sowhat stupid, she’s not exactly hideous, is she?
Moreover, she had done a lot to improve her looks recently and lost quite a bit of weight and even lightened her skin.
How can she be considered ugly?
"Dad! What are you saying?"
Lui Muyi looks embarrassed and quickly pulls his father back, giving Su Pan’er a forced smile. "Pan’er, this is my dad. Don’t be fooled by his strong, fierce look, he is indeed a paper tiger. Looks fierce, but doesn’t bite!"
The boss who can control countless forces in and around Yongze County, dealing with both the righteous and the wicked, is a paper tiger?
Su Pan’er looked at Lui Muyi and gave a faint smile.
She stepped forward, respectfully making a fist, "Uncle Lui, a pleasure to et you! I have t Young Master Lui a few tis, and I’m bold enough to call you uncle today!"
"Big laughter... very good, very good! You ugly girl, you’ve got flavor, you’re spicy! No wonder our Yi’er has been thinking of you day and night since he t you, hahaha..."
Lui Ming said it unabashedly, laughing heartily!
A flash of light passed quickly in his eyes.
The words instantly made Qin Yi’s face completely darken!
His head was no longer dizzy, pulling Su Pan’er behind him, declaring his ownership.
"Old Uncle, what do you an by this?"
Qin Yi asked, his tone markedly serious.
Su Pan’er was also stunned by these words. She looked around and saw that many eyes had been attracted by the broken gong-like voice of Old Man Lui.
She chuckled and patted Qin Yi’s shoulder. "Is Young Master Lui still hurting over losing that gambling al? Haha...I didn’t expect that a single al could bring Uncle Lui here. It’s my fault!"
Lui Muyi was imdiately embarrassed!
Seeing that Su Pan’er was trying to change the topic, he also burst into laughter, "It’s not about the al. It’s just that I have never lost a bet before. Losing to you, I could not help but ntion you to my father. So..."
He spread his hands, shrugged his shoulders, looking helpless.
Which made Lui Ming look at him intensely.
His own son, for the first ti, stood up for a woman, an ugly girl nevertheless!
His family was wealthy, and he only had this one son, who had never shown any interest in won. The pretty girls in their house have tried to seduce him, but he has never been interested in anyone.
He had always been worried that his son might be a homosexual.
If that were true, the Lui family’s lineage would end, and how could he face his ancestors in the afterlife?
Seeing his son taking a liking to a woman, Lui Ming felt relief.
But then looking at this ugly girl, his brow furrowed into a chuan character shape.
The girl’s looks weren’t a big deal, what was crucial was she could continue the ancestral lineage.
But, what was the deal with the man standing next to her?
So she’s a married woman?
What the hell is this?
He might look rugged, but his achievents today all co from his ability to judge and understand people at a glance.
The ugly girl looks at Yi’er with clear eyes, free from any impurities. However, whenever Yi’er sees her, he becos starstruck.
He shakes his head in sigh.
It must be unrequited love.
"Ha, I never mince words when I talk, young man. Forgive any offense."
He grins at Qin Yi and then turns to Su Pan’er: "Ugly girl, they say you can drink a thousand cups and not get drunk. How about I treat you to dinner one of these days? Good wine, good food, I’ll make sure you’re satisfied!" He pats his chest confidently.
Su Pan’er can’t help but laugh.
He makes it sound like she’s a heavy drinker.
"Uncle Lui, it would be an honor. Pan’er and my husband will definitely visit you so other day!"
Su Pan’er generously agrees with a fist salute, speaking aloud.
Hearing Pan’er’s reply includes him, Qin Yi’s originally stern face instantly softened. He turns to look at her, eyes glinting with stars.
"Ha ha ha...great! I’ll be waiting for you and my son then!"
Lui Ming chuckles heartily again before leaving with Old Xue, front and back.
On leaving, Old Xue is still concerned about the previous conversation: "Ugly girl, we have an agreent, rember? If you have good dicinal ingredients, you must find first!"
"Take care, Old Xue. I surely rember this."
Su Pan’er responds with open sincerity.
Muyi Lui looks back three tis per step, then got slapped in the back of his head by Lui Ming.
"What are you looking at? It’s not going to be yours no matter how much you stare at it. Let’s go! You should go pay your respects to our ancestors right now!"
Muyi Lui didn’t react in ti, and got pushed by Lui Ming. He turned his head back stiffly: "Father! Can’t you just speak nicely? Look at yourself, only mom can tolerate you!"
Lui Ming was embarrassed by his son’s words and his face instantly flushed.
"Nonsense! Your seventh aunt and ninth aunt always co to greet warmly when they see !"
"Humph! Are you sure they are being friendly to you? Isn’t it because of your money? Think about those past concubines of yours!"
Muyi Lui gives him a disdainful look.
Lui Ming’s face instantly collapsed. Thinking about the ssy affairs in his backyard, he suddenly comprehended why Muyi Lui has been indifferent to won all these years.
Su Pan’er carefully packed up the offerings and waited for Qin Yi to recover, before carrying the burden up the mountain.
Luckily, she had prepared two sets of offerings in advance. This foresight has co in handy!
"How are you feeling? Still dizzy?"
When they arrive at the Temple of the God of Earth, they see a long queue of people lined up for worship.
According to the custom, before worshipping the ancestral tomb, homage must be paid to the God of the Land.
Seeing that Qin Yi’s face hadn’t relaxed, Su Pan’er couldn’t help but take his wrist pulse. After careful examination, she found nothing unusual.
Could there be so hidden injuries that she has not detected?
"I’m fine."
Qin Yi shakes off Su Pan’er’s hand and gazes at the long queue in front of him. His eyes burn with deep intensity as he asks, "Young Master Lui seems very interested in you. Do you really intend to go to his house for a drinking contest?"
