Chapter 154: No one wants it even if it’s free at 154 Chapter 154: No one wants it even if it’s free at 154 Mrs. Xun unleashed a whole barrage of words, slowly picked up her tea, and sipped it before saying, “Alright, I, this old woman, have said everything there is to say. As for which path you take from here, that’s up to you.
Go on, disperse, nothing more to handle here. Go back and apply so warm water on those eyes, and in half a month, there’s an auction. Whether you end up living a life of luxury or get degraded in Fireworks Willow Alley, that will depend on those pretty little faces of yours!”
“Wuuu wuuu wuuu…” The crying was uncontrollable, especially with so many people together, making it oppressively heart-wrenching to listen to.
Ye Jiu sighed, planning to think about ways to escape once he got back, but just as he turned around, he heard Mrs. Xun speak again, “Hey, hey, you, the ugly girl, don’t go yet.”
“Hey, I’m talking to you, the one who is dark and fat and ugly.” Ye Jiu’s steps suddenly halted.
Looking left and right, except for himself, everyone else was notably pretty.
Could it be, this old woman was calling him?
Being called a stinky, ugly girl was bad enough, but to add “dark and fat” really hit hard.
At ho, due to the prestige of the He Family, no one dared say he was ugly, so Ye Jiu instinctively ignored the issue.
Who would have thought that upon stepping out, with everyone calling him an ugly girl left and right, Ye Jiu really started to feel as if he was detestably ugly!
Turning around, Ye Jiu flashed a pleasing smile, “Mrs. Xun, are you calling ?”
“Who else would I be calling, look around, could you find anyone uglier than you in this group?” Mrs. Xun retorted.
I really want to spit a mouthful of old blood on your face this instant.
Nevertheless, Ye Jiu dared not get angry and still had to smile obsequiously, “May I know what Mrs. Xun has stopped for?”
“I heard that you have a soap recipe. If you know what’s good for you, you’d better honestly hand it over. Don’t force to get rough,” Mrs. Xun declared in her grating, duck-like voice.
“Soap formula… I indeed have one here, but I wonder, how did Mrs. Xun know I had it?” Ye Jiu was very compliant, most importantly, because he had no ability to resist now.
Moreover, these people wouldn’t have brought him, of all people, across nations if they weren’t sure he really had what they wanted.
“Cut the nonsense. Since you have it, just hand it over. Don’t snoop where you shouldn’t,” Mrs. Xun commanded.
“Mrs. Xun, I’m afraid I can never return to my place now. I can give you the soap formula since it’s useless to keep it, but please, show so kindness and let know who’s behind my misfortune?” Ye Jiu pleaded.
In fact, Ye Jiu had already guessed, but he wanted to confirm it nonetheless.
“I’ll say it again, don’t snoop around things you shouldn’t. Just honestly hand over the soap recipe,” Mrs. Xun’s expression imdiately turned stern, then her face changed as quickly as flipping a page in a book, smiling very warmly, “Be good and listen, and in a few days, I’ll find you a decent family. You could at least scrape by with a living, because with that little face of yours, no one would take you even for free, and you could really end up starving to death outside!”
As Mrs. Xun’s words fell, Ye Jiu’s face twitched as if he was on the verge of exploding at any mont.
Yet, it just amused Mrs. Xun.
