Chapter 688

Chen Wuji and Zhi Xu Daozhang's lengthy talk went on for a long time.

Accidentally shifting from Songzhou to Lu Jia Village, then from Lu Jia Village to the Rivers and Lakes, and after winding around, circling back to the situation in Nan Jun.

Perhaps because many topics were discussed, Zhi Xu Daozhang this time did not hide as much, and indeed shared his true insights, many of which coincidentally matched Chen Wuji's thoughts.

After seeing off Zhi Xu Daozhang, Chen Wuji then met Qin Huaian again.

A person who shouldn't be a fop, yet his every gesture reeks of foppishness, showing hardly any trace of acting. He rushed in the door and, without any reserve, grabbed Chen Wuji's thigh and launched a frenzied accusation, blaming Qin Zhanhong's improper conduct.

This action of his once again left Chen Wuji bewildered.

"Young Master Qin, I like women, don't do this, I'm a bit scared!" Chen Wuji said stiffly; he was indeed almost stiff, but the hardest thing was his fist.

Being hugged on the thigh by a big man like this, he truly couldn't stand it, his fist clenched rock-hard, really wanting to give this future Third Uncle a good beating.

Qin Huaian suddenly lifted his head, "Brother-in-law, your words are somewhat hurtful; I just barely avoided being beaten to death by my little sister. You... this is your place, you should at least manage it a little; how can a proper woman be so fierce?"

"Say that again, and I'll beat you up together with your sister—no, your sister!" Chen Wuji said through gritted teeth.

Qin Huaian's demeanor showed no trace of an elder brother's bearing, causing him to instinctively demote this guy in rank.

Qin Huaian blew his nose hard, then, wiping his hand on Chen Wuji's clothes, stood up and said angrily, "Brother-in-law, I don't care about anything else; anyway, I've traveled a long way to find you, not to get beaten. You and my little sister ought to talk properly; now that we're both married, we can't keep... beating me."

"Does Zhanhong really beat you often?" Chen Wuji asked.

Regarding this matter, he has always been skeptical.

Qin Huaian shot Chen Wuji an angry glance, "Could this be fake? She has high talent for martial arts, practiced faster than anyone as a child. With such skill and strength, her hands get itchy; naturally she'd use us brothers as practice dummies."

Chen Wuji was stunned speechless.

He now seems to understand why Qin Zhanhong, when mentioning Qin Huaian, is so impolite, always threatening to beat him to death.

It turns out what she said was no joke.

Although this matter has been directly proven, Chen Wuji still thinks Qin Huaian is not a fop; this guy is pretending to be a pig to eat a tiger, feigning stupidity.

"It's fine, just getting beaten; after a lot of it you get used to it." Chen Wuji soothed, first greeting Qin Huaian to sit down, then asked, "Young Master Qin, you surely didn't come to Nan Jun just to look around; if you have any business, why not speak plainly? I don't like guessing."

"I really did just come to look around." Qin Huaian said.

"In the family, there's big disagreement over privately finding a husband for my little sister; some support, some oppose, and some shout that I should drag her back, but I've firmly refused. If anyone thinks they're capable, let them try to drag her themselves; anyway, I lack that ability."

"I can't even beat my little sister's fists; how could I possibly drag her away by force from Chen Shuai's mighty army? That's just looking for trouble with a lantern."

Chen Wuji questioned doubtfully, "Really?"

"Indeed it is; if I'm lying to you, I'm a dog." Qin Huaian said solemnly.

"Good!" Chen Wuji nodded, "If Young Master Qin later brings up other matters, don't blame me for refusing; you yourself said you were just here to look, with no other business."

"Um... this..." Qin Huaian hesitated, "Even good things aren't allowed?"

"You said there was nothing, right?" Chen Wuji asked with a light laugh.

Qin Huaian gave an embarrassed laugh, "It's not just a maybe; I'm saying now there's nothing else, but if I stay and suddenly think of doing something, who knows! In the Qin Family I still have some sway and can decide on certain things, like discussing business with my brother-in-law."

"Doing business is fine; other matters need separate discussion." Chen Wuji said.

"He has no other business." Qin Zhanhong's silhouette suddenly appeared at the window, he coldly glanced at Qin Huaian and said, "You've seen the person; now get lost."

"No..." Qin Huaian flared, pointing at Qin Zhanhong, turning to shout at Chen Wuji, "Brother-in-law, you really ought to manage this; it's too... too..."

Before he could finish, Qin Zhanhong cut him off with a cold stare, "What opinion do you have?"

"I'm fine; you go back first, can't I just chat with my brother-in-law?" Qin Huaian shouted.

"No way!" Qin Zhanhong flipped in through the window, leaning against Chen Wuji, "If you have something to say, say it; I'll listen too."

Qin Huaian looked speechless, the corner of his mouth twitching, "It's fine; find me a place to sleep—being alive feels suffocating; sleeping is more solid."

After taking two steps toward the door, he suddenly turned back, "No, there is something."

"Brother-in-law, I want to buy that thing you make called paper. Give me a discount, and I'll take it elsewhere to sell—how about that?"

"Sure." Chen Wuji readily agreed.

Such an agent must be welcomed.

Regardless of what purpose Qin Huaian brings this time, Chen Wuji still greatly likes this side of him as a god of wealth.

"Brother-in-law handles things with grandeur, so it's fine." Qin Huaian said, "In a few days I'll find a shopkeeper to manage this; then please arrange personnel to discuss the details."

"No problem at all!"

After Qin Huaian finished saying this, he really left very cheerfully.

Chen Wuji looked somewhat blankly at Qin Zhanhong, "Is it really just like that?"

"He surely has another motive; this guy is thoroughly bad, full of nasty schemes." Qin Zhanhong said, "But it's better if he doesn't say anything, so we aren't bothered. My life is going well now; I don't need him to worry about me."

"You seem to have a big opinion of my Third Uncle?" Chen Wuji asked.

Qin Zhanhong pursed his lips, "Actually I don't have much of an opinion; I still acknowledge this Third Brother, I just dislike their way of doing things."

Chen Wuji nodded, "I won't ask more; whenever you want to speak, you can. Now let's talk—what's the deal with that lady named Lu Wanwan?"

"Naturally she's a wife sought for the husband." Qin Zhanhong said with a grin, "Is the husband satisfied? Lips red, teeth white, good figure, even better face, skin white enough to squeeze water; more importantly, her martial skill is fine, she can fully follow the husband to conquer the world."
