Chapter 397 -149 Chen Jie: Madam, don’t panic first, the Gang Leader is here_4
“Oh my, it’s so pitiful, she is so young yet burdened with so many troubles, that Ji…”
“Jiu Si, Jiu Si!”
Huang Wan’er was really a good actress, and Chen Jie hastily cut in, stating the name.
Huang Wan’er said, “Ah, what a pity, me too, I only knew to close myself in Jixiang Temple reading Buddhist Scripture, unaware of matters outside. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have brought up such a heartbreaking question to such a grand master.”
“Hm?”
Nan Batian looked towards Huang Wan’er, who continued: “The inauguration ceremony is in three days, why don’t I accompany you, my lord? I want to see the excitement and also apologize for the inappropriate question just now.”
“There’s… no need.”
Nan Batian hadn’t spoken when Chen Jie had already started, and as everyone looked over, they saw Chen Jie say: “There’s really no need to trouble the guild leader’s wife with such a trivial matter. Madam is cultivated in Buddhism, so there’s no need to get involved in the mortal coil! What do you say, Gang Leader?”
Chen Jie was beaming as he looked at the Gang Leader.
He always felt that Huang Wan’er had no good intentions. During his own inauguration ceremony, if this woman was present, she might indeed cause some major trouble. How would he manage then?
Do not think she wouldn’t do it. Given her madness, she might just seek the thrill.
And what was more frightening was that my wife would also be there. If she ran into my wife, given her sharpness and Huang Wan’er’s craziness, it could very well turn into a living hell.
The thought alone was enough to make his scalp tingle!
Chen Jie looked hopefully at Nan Batian, wanting the Gang Leader to be decisive. Haven’t you noticed your head’s already turned green?
Please consider this unreasonable request seriously, Gang Leader. Don’t let the green grow.
What I speak is from the heart. You really should heed my advice, Gang Leader, please be mindful.
Upon hearing Chen Jie’s words, Nan Batian also hesitated. The guild leader’s wife had never participated in such ceremonies before, after all. Should he bring her?
Chen Jie was so anxious he was about to break into a sweat when Huang Wan’er glanced at him, her playful smile growing stronger.
At that moment, she said: “My lord, Master Chen is incorrect. I am but a Buddhist devotee, wholly ignorant of secular affairs. It would be enlightening for me to experience such bustling gatherings and touch upon the worldly atmosphere!”
After hearing her words, Nan Batian said, “There is sense in that.”
“Gang Leader!”
Chen Jie spoke again: “But those scenes are nothing but noisy chaos. There’s really nothing worth seeing.”
Huang Wan’er replied: “But I want the crowd! My lord, I’ve been cooped up in the estate every day to the point of feeling stifled. You attend functions regularly, and I can’t very well follow you, but this is a rare opportunity. I want to go and have a look.”
Nan Batian then said, “Oh my, the poor wife, then should we take her?”
“Cough, Gang…”
“Hey~ Chen Jiusi, don’t be ungrateful. The guild leader’s wife wants to attend your inauguration, which is giving you face. Why do you keep protesting against it? Do you have something secretive to hide?”
Qin Ying had been watching for a long while.
Finally, he saw his chance. This kid for some reason didn’t show appreciation. Mrs. Huang just wanted to join in the fun, and he was not giving face. What, did he hold a grudge against Mrs. Huang? Fine, since he’s being unappreciative, I’ll just have to disgust him, and by the way, win some favor with the lady…
Upon hearing Qin Ying’s words, Chen Jie felt a pang in his heart. Indeed, was his reaction too excessive?
What had Qin Ying noticed?
In the meantime, Huang Wan’er, looking wronged, said to Chen Jie: “Master Chen, it seems I hold no grudge against you either. Why won’t you let me attend your ceremony? Do you think me, a woman, unworthy of your ceremony?”
Nan Batian gave Chen Jiusi a harsh glare at this moment.
Chen Jie, looking at the drama queen Huang Wan’er, felt helpless. Big sister, you’re really playing big; do you realize how serious the consequences could be if you mess up?
But Huang Wan’er seemed addicted to her performance, now silently shedding tears.
Nan Batian, furious at anyone offending his wife, stared at Chen Jie and said, “Chen Jiusi, you…”
“Gang Leader, I just thought that place would be noisy and disturb the wife.”
Chen Jie hurriedly tried to smooth things over.
Nan Batian then said, “My wife isn’t afraid of noise. Alright, wife, don’t be angry. This Chen Jiusi doesn’t appreciate kindness; we won’t honor his event then. The audacity.”
Huang Wan’er looked up defiantly and said, “No, I will go, I want to go!”
“Fine, fine, let’s go! We’ll go!”
Nan Batian turned his head to Chen Jie: “Alright, Jiu Si, that’s settled then. If the wife wishes to support you, she shall. Don’t be ungrateful.”
“Yes, I will make the necessary arrangements to welcome her!”
Chen Jie, seeing Nan Batian so eager to play the fool, felt hopeless. It was truly hard to convince someone destined to doom.
But what exactly did Huang Wan’er want to do? If she met Yunjin that day, oh my, such a headache. He feared Huang Wan’er might spout madness and inadvertently hurt his beloved little young lady.
Nan Batian, pleased with Chen Jie’s response, instructed, “Jiu Si, since the wife will be attending, arrange a separate room for her, one that is quiet and has few people around. Do not disturb my wife’s rest, understand?”
“Understood.”
“Madam, is there anything else you need?”
Huang Wan’er responded, “Let there be a pillow prepared in the room.”
“Right, the wife’s health isn’t great; if she’s tired, she must be able to lie down to rest.”
Hearing this, Chen Jie looked at Nan Batian and felt his head was covered in green grasslands.
My goodness, quiet, few people, no disturbances, and even a pillow is needed. Do you also need a bed prepared with that pillow?
Gang Leader, please think. Haven’t you felt anything odd here?
The answer was no!
