Chapter 189: Chapter 189 Aren’t You Afraid of Shortening Your Lifespan?
Tong Yunrou’s best friend got married and had children a long time ago, and bridesmaids need to be unmarried women.
Her niece Tong Qingyan was definitely her bridesmaid, but having only one bridesmaid seemed too inadequate.
Inviting Bai Chuwei wasn’t a bad idea either!
After all, she had a face that closely resembled Bai Chu’s, and under the gaze of such a face, getting married to Duan Xiuqi made Tong Yunrou pleasantly content just thinking about it.
“Why don’t you ask my aunt to come and watch too?” Bai Chuwei sneered lightly, “Having me as a bridesmaid, aren’t you afraid it would shorten your lifespan?”
Tong Yunrou was choked by Bai Chuwei’s retort, her smile awkward. Seeing Duan Xiuqi’s increasingly frosty complexion, she regretted bringing up this topic.
Bai Chuwei turned to Duan Feihan and said with a slight smile, “I won’t go, the Fourth Master told me to study hard.”
She had no spare time to attend their wedding.
Duan Feihan, holding the medicinal box containing the Snow Lotus, glanced over Bai Chuwei’s pretty face.
Now she knew she needed to study hard?
A look of disgust unconsciously flickered in Tong Qingyan’s eyes, she truly thought Bai Chuwei was an oddity.
She had heard that the old master Bai pulled strings to get Bai Chuwei into Class 9, yet after attending one Chinese test, Bai Chuwei did not participate in any quizzes or exams, and she did not study at all.
She even had the nerve to drag the Fourth Master into this, claiming to love studying? And use such a lame excuse to reject her aunt’s invitation to be a bridesmaid.
At that moment, a scornful voice of a middle-aged man echoed in the auction hall, “Mr. Liu, shouldn’t you be rushing to find your son instead of leisurely attending an auction to bid for Spirit Talismans? What a pity, such bad luck you have, not even getting a single Talisman, all for nothing.”
The old man in the traditional robe, supported by the butler, trembled with rage, “You… you…”
In surprise, Bai Ze said to Bai Chuwei, “Weiwei, isn’t that the old gentleman who sent the butler to remind you not to buy Spiritual Medicine tonight?”
Bai Chuwei watched with interest.
The middle-aged man taunted, “Tsk—it really is the wheel of fortune, Mr. Liu. Your son knew I was backed with loans, and even though we were alumni, he fired me. Tsk, tsk, now your son is nowhere to be found, don’t you think this is karma?” Content originally comes from NoveIＦire.net
The old gentleman retorted angrily, “Xiaotian, you have the nerve to say this? You embezzled tens of millions from my company, and my son, considering your loans and that we were alumni, didn’t report you but simply fired you! And now you’re framing me in return?”
The middle-aged man continued with biting sarcasm, “I thank your son for the favor of firing me back then, I’m now doing very well in Tong Enterprise, already the manager of the project department.”
“It seems the rumors about your company’s financial shortage are true, Mr. Liu. Can’t you even afford a single Spirit Talisman now?” Manager Tian said, deliberately taking out a “Safeguard Home Peace” Spirit Talisman and sniffed it, his face showing rapture.
The old gentleman almost fainted from Manager Tian’s taunts.
Standing aside, Bai Chuwei almost laughed out loud. If Chen Meihua knew about this underground, would she be angry enough to come back to life? Tong Enterprise really had some nerve to hire someone with a history of embezzlement.
Duan Xiuqi obviously didn’t like such tainted individuals either and frowned, his voice cold, “Let’s go back.”
Turning around, Duan Xiuqi looked at Bai Chuwei with complex eyes, “Be careful on your way home. If you need help, you can ask me.”
With that, Duan Xiuqi left the auction with Tong Yunrou and Tong Qingyan.
The butler, supporting the old man in tears, sighed and advised, “Old Master, just let it be if you can’t get a Spirit Talisman. We should go back and find the doctor, that’s more important.”
A crisp and pleasant voice leapt into the air, “I have a Spirit Talisman here, does the old gentleman want it?”
