Chapter 381 - Looking at her lips, Wen Rugui felt like he was spellbound. (3)
The more she thought about it, the worse she felt. She couldn’t stop crying.
As embarrassed as Sun Wuyang felt earlier, he had no heart to blame her any more the way that she was crying.
“This is getting tricky.”
After tonight, he learned that not only did Wen Rugui not care about Sun Manrou, he didn’t care much about him either.
He also learned how much he was into Tong Xuelu.
They may still have a chance had Sun Manrou not made a complete fool out of herself tonight. Welp, it was what it was.
Sun Manrou felt unreconciled but she put on a guilty front. “I’m sorry, Third Brother. It was all my fault. I had embarrassed you too.”
“What are you talking about? We are siblings. What’s some embarrassment. That being said, I think you will need to back off Rugui for a little while.”
Sun Wuyang did blame her a little but all his discontent was gone after what she had said.
Sun Manrou bit down on her lips. “Third Brother, let’s just forget about this. With me making such a fool out of myself, I am sure Comrade Wen won’t be interested in me.”
Sun Wuyang frowned. “How can you give up so easily? Do you really want to let such a nice guy go? You really want to lose to a cook?”
The more he knew about Wen Rugui, the more he realized how powerful the Wen family was.
He was able to make that Comrade Tong with no family status a manager at a restaurant. Should the Sun and Wen family be able to unite through a holy matrimony, the Sun family would stand to benefit a lot from it.
There had never been a Commander in the Sun family. Should Old Mr. Wen be willing to take him under his wing, he just might be the first commander in the Sun family!
Sun Manrou, “But……”
Sun Wuyang, “Stop with the buts already. You are much better than that chef. I just meant to hold off a little bit. Give Rugui some time to forget about the incident tonight and also wait for Commander Xiao’s arrival.
“You are Commander Xiao’s god granddaughter. When he gets here, just talk him up a little and he can have Old Mr. Wen set you up. That would be much more effective than yours and my effort!”
Sun Manrou frowned a little. “I worry that god grandpa might not be willing to do that. He had always been a righteous man.”
Sun Wuyang snickered. “Have you forgotten that you had saved his life once? Would he refuse to help you after that?”
Sun Manrou, “But I don’t dare. I worry that god grandpa would be upset at me. I am so useless. Wuwuwuw……”
Sun Wuyang, “Never mind. I’ll talk to him for you when the time comes. How are you so timid?”
Sun Manrou looked very appreciative. “Thank you, Third Brother. You are so nice to me.”
Another pair of siblings was conversing elsewhere.
Fang Jingyuan had just completed her program and was about to enjoy the remaining performances when she saw her Big Brother looked like an eggplant that had been hailed out the moment that she walked out of the backstage.
As much as she called him dog poop all the time, he was, after all, her Big Brother.
As such, Fang Jingyuan walked over and tended to him. “What’s the matter, Big Brother. Do share so I can make fun of you.”
Fang Wanyuan, “……”
Why did he feel that Fang Jingyuan had been meaner and meaner to him?
Looking at the expression on her brother, she felt that the line that she had learned from Tong Xuelu had worked wonders. “Hurry up and spill already.”
Fang Wanyuan knew that his sister had been closed with Tong Xuelu lately. He thought about it some and spilled his beans to her.
“I just saw Tong Xuelu and…… her boyfriend.”
He wasn’t even done talking when Fang Jingyuan started shouting. “Xuelu is here? What is she? I hadn’t seen her in so long what with all the practices!”
Fang Wanyuan took a deep breath. “She had taken off with her boyfriend.”
Fang Jingyuan thrusted her lips out some. “Why didn’t you say so sooner. Oh right, what was it that you were going to tell me?”
Fang Wanyuan took another deep breath. “I can’t figure this out. Had Tong Xuelu…… followed behind me all the time a while ago? The entire military compound knew that she was into me. How did she have a change of heart just like that?”
Fang Jingyuan chuckled and said, “Oh, Big Brother. If you knew it was a while back then you really should stop bringing it up. Everybody had gone though that young and stupid stage.”
That was right. Tong Xuelu also taught her that saying.
Fang Wanyuan, “……”
What was he thinking when he decided to talk to Fang Jingyuan?
Fang Wanyuan headed home without looking at Fang Jingyuan again.
