With seasoned veterans like yourselves here, Yecheng would not dare to claim the role of a leader.
Yecheng toasts to Elder Xu—a toast to your joy in gaining a son-in-law,” Yecheng said as he lifted his glass and downed it in one gulp.
“I shall drink up, Elder Xu.
Take your ti.”
“Good, that’s the spirit,” Elder Xu laughed heartily, finishing his drink.
“Everyone, enjoy your al.
Let’s move on to the next table.”
With that, he led n Chao to the next table.
After sitting down, Yecheng surreptitiously grabbed Xiaofeng’s hand under the table and whispered, “Wife, there was sothing wrong with that drink just now.”
Xiaofeng looked at him doubtfully.
“The wine was poisoned?”
“Not exactly.
There was sothing in the drink that triggers the cold poison in my body,” Yecheng replied, already feeling the illness taking hold.
“Soon, I will undergo a drastic change in temperant and might even do harm to others.
Are you scared?”
Frowning at his words, Xiaofeng said, “It’ll be an episode like the previous two.”
Thus, the reason for Ye Cheng’s spells was the cold poison in his body.
“The dose this ti is not small.
I estimate it will be more severe than the previous instances,” Yecheng shivered.
“Wife, I’m already starting to feel cold.”
Xiaofeng looked around at the table and without a second word, pulled him to leave.
“Let’s go, we need to leave now.”
The only thing she could do if he truly fell ill was to transfer Spiritual Energy to him.
There were too many people here.
If they noticed sothing was wrong with Yecheng and the guests beca aware of it, it would be too late to transfer energy then.
Yecheng stopped her.
“Listen to …”
After listening to Yecheng’s words to the end, a hint of a smile played upon Xiaofeng’s lips.
“If my husband needs to cooperate, then cooperate I shall.”
Yecheng hooked her nose, feeling not as cold inside as his body felt.
His heart even felt warm.
His wife was indeed his Sea-Calming Divine Needle.
As long as she was around, his heart would remain at ease.
Xiaofeng tightened her grip on his hand.
“Aren’t you worried you won’t be able to control the situation later?”
“Aren’t you here with ?
Besides, Grandpa is here too.
What’s there to fear?” Yecheng’s eyes showed no sign of fear, more like a mischievous child who, aware of dangers ahead, still rushes forward with excitent.
While they were talking, a servant, for so reason, nudged the tea gently while serving dishes, and just so happened, by an unlucky coincidence, to spill it on Yecheng.
A tea stain imdiately appeared on Yecheng’s left sleeve.
The servant knelt down at once, holding a cloth to wipe it for Yecheng.
“Young Master Gu, I’m so sorry.
It wasn’t on purpose, really.”
This servant, good-looking, was probably the most attractive amongst all the servants.
Clad in a pale blue cheongsam, hair done up, with a simple wooden hairpin, she looked like a beauty from a traditional painting.
With the commotion on this side, naturally, everyone turned their gaze here.
They saw this scene: a national beauty kneeling before Young Master Gu, apologizing profusely to Gu Yecheng for so mistake she made.
Witnessing this stirred up recollections of the rumors from the past two tis about Young Master Gu being, after all, a young man with no immunity to a certain level of feminine charm.
Now it seed to be true.
Look at him, in front of the Xu family, embarrassing their servant, and coincidentally, a rather attractive one.
To say she was a national beauty wouldn’t be an overstatent.
What was Young Master Gu up to?
The onlookers felt they saw through Gu Yecheng’s intentions clearly.
“Young Master Gu, I’m truly sorry, I didn’t do it on purpose,” the servant exclaid as Gu Yecheng didn’t react, her actions growing bolder, attempting to seize Young Master Gu’s sleeve to wipe it clean.
Elder Xu, upon hearing the commotion, had already co over with n Chao.
Upon arriving, he saw their planted person going through with the plan, trying to make contact with Yecheng.
Looking at Yecheng now, his complexion wasn’t quite normal, devoid of his usual composure.
He looked as if he was bearing imnse pain, beads of sweat even seed to form on his forehead.
Elder Xu, seeing Yecheng like this, rejoiced internally.
It seed Yecheng wouldn’t last much longer.
Once he reached the point where his body couldn’t endure it, he would erupt.
At that mont, all the guests would witness a different Yecheng, one who is irritable, quick to anger, indiscriminate, and treating human life as if it were worthless.
Such a Yecheng displayed before everyone would leave no room for the Gu family to defend Gu Yecheng, no matter how eloquent their excuses.
It wouldn’t change the fact about Gu Yecheng’s flawed character.
As long as everyone recognized this reality, even if Gu Yecheng had considerable abilities, in the future, he would only be a legend and never gain recognition from everyone, let alone assu a leadership position and lead the families.
