Chapter 227: Cousin Sister Scolds Brother-in-law
Lu Jiutang listened to his wife's words, raised an eyebrow, and smiled lightly, "Madam, why do you say that?"
Cold Brow replied with a serious expression, "This man is too fickle. Just seeing someone like him makes me sick. I cannot entrust my sister's life to such a person!"
It turned out that earlier, Lu Jiutang had learned from Iron Egg that Xiao Yun had visited Passion Bar twice. During the second visit, while he was waiting outside, he seemed to have overheard that the man with the surname Xiao and Cold as Ice had actually engaged in the most intimate relationship.
At that moment, upon receiving this news, Lu Jiutang felt an urge to kill Xiao Yun. How could his Cousin Sister be someone just anyone could touch? This guy was too bold! However, he also found it strange; given Cold as Ice's character, she was not someone any ordinary man could approach. What kind of charm did he possess to conquer his ice-cold beauty of a Cousin Sister?
Due to Cousin Sister's stubbornness and the fact that it was her personal matter, Lu Jiutang calmed down and did not act rashly against Xiao Yun.
However, later on, after the incident at Wohu Mountain where Xiao Yun fought Song Tianxing and the death of Orchid Daoist, Lu Jiutang completely changed his view of Xiao Yun. He realized this person was quite remarkable. Additionally, hearing that he had become closer to Mayor Shen Tieshan made him consider bringing Xiao Yun under his wing.
Initially, Lu Jiutang thought that since Xiao Yun had a fondness for beautiful women, he would find a few attractive women to win him over. But then he thought, since he already had that connection with Cold as Ice, it would be better to betroth Cousin Sister to him. With this familial bond, he wouldn't have to worry about Xiao Yun not being useful to him.
However, when he shared this idea with Cold Brow, she immediately opposed it. The reason was that there were too many women around Xiao Yun; she couldn't push her sister into a fire pit.
Later on, due to numerous matters within the organization and the subsequent events related to Dead End, Lu Jiutang stopped considering such matters.
Now discussing Cold as Ice's lifelong affairs again, Lu Jiutang brought up Xiao Yun once more but was met with his wife's refusal again.
Lu Jiutang awkwardly smiled and fell silent.
"Speak of the devil, and he shall appear." Just then, Old Butler Wang approached and said, "Boss, there's a young man outside claiming to be Xiao Yun who wishes to see you!"
Oh, Xiao Yun has arrived?
Lu Jiutang immediately felt delighted and said, "Haha, great! I'll go welcome him personally!"
He then reminded his wife, "We have a guest at the door. When he arrives, please don't show any displeasure. After all, this is a critical time for our Wolf Gang; having more friends means more opportunities!"
Cold Brow smiled and replied, "Don't worry, I know how to handle things appropriately!"
This was Lu Jiutang's first meeting with Xiao Yun. When he reached the front door, he saw a young man standing there. He wore a t-shirt on top and sports pants on the bottom. His smooth, fair face had sharp features that conveyed a sense of seriousness. Although he wasn't overly handsome, he had a certain charm. He quickly cupped his fist in greeting and smiled, "I've long admired Mr. Xiao's reputation. It's an honor to meet you today!"
"Haha, Master Lu, you're too polite! How could I trouble you to come out and greet me?" This fellow was quite adept at conversing with people.
"Not at all!"
Lu Jiutang beamed as he took Xiao Yun's hand and led him into the living room, promptly instructing a nearby maid to serve tea.
After pouring the tea, the maid and Old Butler Wang both stepped back.
This was the Lu Family's custom; when valuable guests arrived, the servants would keep their distance.
Next, Lu Jiutang introduced his wife Cold Brow to Xiao Yun.
Cold Brow merely smiled lightly at Xiao Yun and nodded slightly. She exuded an air of elegance and pride typical of a distinguished woman.
Her eyes narrowed slightly, and her gaze seemed to casually sweep over Xiao Yun's entire body. She was secretly taken aback; it was said that this guy was a notorious flirt, but he appeared to have a certain level of composure.
Hmph, he must be pretending; typically, hypocrites are good at disguising themselves.
If Cold Brow's thoughts were known to Xiao Yun, he would surely exclaim loudly, "You are absolutely right! Master Xiao is indeed a genuine hypocrite!"
"Master Lu," Xiao Yun said with a smile, "I came here today without prior notice mainly to express my gratitude to the Vice Hall Master. Regarding the Dead End incident, if it weren't for your help, I would have probably met my end long ago!"
Lu Jiutang's face flushed upon hearing this. "Mr. Xiao, please don't say that. This matter also involves Sister Cold as Ice; I truly feel ashamed!"
Xiao Yun chuckled, "How can we blame Ice Sister? The trouble all started with Gu Tianfeng!"
Lu Jiutang replied, "That shows your generosity, Mr. Xiao. I also regret not keeping a closer watch on Sister Like Ice!"
Xiao Yun countered, "Not at all; Ice Sister is inherently kind-hearted. I have faith in her!"
—Damn, you have faith in her? But I have no faith in you at all!
Cold Brow inwardly scoffed.
Lu Jiutang happily remarked, "Mr. Xiao truly has an eye for talent!"
Xiao Yun said, "It's not just talk; my judgment of women is sharp. Take Lu Madam for example—though she is somewhat past her prime, she still possesses charm and elegance. Don't be fooled by her cold demeanor towards me; deep down, she holds a considerable appreciation for me!"
As soon as this guy walked in, he noticed the unkindness in Cold Brow's eyes towards him. Fortunately, he had thick skin and didn't mind throwing out the previous remark to deliberately provoke Lu Madam.
Once he said that, Cold Brow was taken aback, her beautiful eyes widening in surprise. For a moment, she couldn't wrap her head around it. Was this guy's skin made of city walls? What exactly did I appreciate about him?
Lu Jiutang understood the implication behind his words and laughed heartily, saying, "Mr. Xiao, you are right. I often mention you at home; my wife admires you greatly!" As he spoke, he discreetly stepped on Cold Brow's foot, signaling her that someone had already noticed her displeasure towards him and that she should express something.
"Hehe, Mr. Xiao, yes, yes... uh, not just me; even my sister Like Ice admires you!" As soon as those words left her mouth, Cold Brow immediately regretted mentioning Like Ice.
Little did she know that Xiao Yun took the opportunity and said, "Really? Madam, I haven't seen Ice Sister for a long time. Could you please bring her out to meet me?"
Before the lady could respond, Lu Jiutang laughed and said, "Sure! I'll have someone invite Like Ice out right now!"
He then clapped his hands three times, and a maid came over. He instructed her, "Quickly invite Miss Like Ice out and tell her Mr. Xiao is here!"
Cold Brow couldn't help but break into a cold sweat!
Cold as Ice was feeling restless in her room when she heard that Xiao Yun had arrived. She rushed over like a gust of wind and exclaimed, "Xiao Yun..."
Xiao Yun looked up and saw the girl with her long hair cascading over her shoulders. She wore a light blue fitted tank top that accentuated her well-proportioned figure and a pair of ultra-short denim shorts that exposed her long, fair legs to the air. Especially her rounded hips were highlighted even more. It seemed like she had lost quite a bit of weight in just a few days.
"Not seeing you for a day feels like three autumns have passed! Ice Sister, why haven't I seen you lately?" This guy really knew how to hit the nail on the head.
Upon hearing this, Cold as Ice jumped up as if oil had been splashed on a fire and angrily pointed at her brother-in-law Lu Jiutang: "It's all this guy's fault! He has ulterior motives and keeps Cousin Sister locked up at home all day without letting me go out!"
What? Ulterior motives?
Lu Jiutang suddenly felt a wave of frustration.
"Sister, let me explain..." Lu Jiutang said anxiously.
"I don't want to hear your explanation," Cold as Ice scolded without any regard for her brother-in-law's feelings. "Beast, just admit it! Are you trying to take advantage of my Cousin Sister?"
Xiao Yun was taken aback, wondering if Lu Jiutang was really that kind of person.
Clearly, Lu Jiutang had noticed the fleeting, subtle expression on Xiao Yun's face. His own face turned as red as if he had been splashed with blood, and he struggled to catch his breath.
"I really didn't think that..." Lu Jiutang said, his lips twitching.
Cold as Ice pouted and shouted, "Hmph! You definitely thought about it!"
"I didn't think..."
"Then why did you lock me up? Isn't it just to enjoy the benefits of having multiple partners?"
"I... I'm wronged!" The dignified Grand Master of the Wolf Gang, Lu Jiutang, began to lament his unjust situation! The Pinnacle of Elegance has been updated.
