Chapter 122
Everyone guessed Uncle Fatty's intention, knowing that he was aware of what type of person Master Yuanjing was, yet he deliberately introduced him to King Yama Liu.
Notably, King Yama Liu was Uncle Fatty's sworn enemy.
A deviation from normal behavior often indicates a problem.
If Uncle Fatty intended to mend fences with his nemesis by introducing Master Yuanjing to King Yama Liu, nobody would believe this explanation.
Everyone was stunned by Uncle Fatty's cunning move.
Shi Li was kept in the dark, unaware that Uncle Fatty knew she was wearing the metaphorical green hat of a betrayed lover.
Therefore, in her view, Uncle Fatty's intention was rather straightforward, without any deeper purpose.
However, Shi Li also felt quite moved: "Isn't this ironic? Although Uncle Fatty has been planning to exact revenge on Liu Yanwen for years, he now seems to want to reconcile. Introducing his precious Master Yuanjing to the enemy: now that is a revenge plot."
"Master Yuanjing's character is well-known to Shi Li, but perhaps not to others."
In her past life, aside from studying, Shi Li loved to read all sorts of gossip tabloids. Master Yuanjing wasn't necessarily a powerful figure. However, he established relationships with many wealthy people and seduced many high-class women. His most famous scandal was his affair with General Huang's wife, which led to their divorce.
Several tabloid editors speculated that despite being a fake monk, he must possess some special attributes.
Shi Li believed in and was incredibly curious about these special attributes.
"If he is just a fake master, it's not a big deal. The problem is that he is a fake master with a habit of seducing people's wives. Everything is different now."
"Rumor has it that the relationship between Liu Yanwen and his wife is subpar. At this point, a handsome and robust master steps in."
"Hmm ... interesting."
Shi Li's muttered comments clearly reached the ears of everyone nearby. This shocked Song Ying, whose cheeks flushed crimson at such brazen words.
As she blushed, she feared that if the others heard Shi Li, they might mistakenly think she herself was an improper girl.
Song Ying sighed heavily, burdened with worries that were too much for her young age to bear.
Meanwhile, Uncle Fatty was a little humble during his conversation with Liu Yanwen, to Liu's satisfaction.
The four of them had a pleasant conversation and agreed to communicate again in a couple of days.
Shi Li, who had been sneakily observing from the sidelines, could foresee Liu Yanwen potentially getting cuckolded by Uncle Fatty.
Seeing that the drama was over, Shi Li decided to return to Huang Jie with Song Ying.
Upon their return, they found that Huang Jie was no longer at the table, presumably having left to chat with an acquaintance.
Bai Qianqian’s hands still had water droplets, she asked the Second Young Master Fu for tissues from her small bag. As she wiped her hands she laughed and greeted Shi Li, "Where have you two sisters gone? You disappeared when I only blinked."
Bai Qianqian had quite a needy personality, she enjoyed close contact with others.
Sadly, whenever she approached her, it always discomforted Shi Li who felt like she had been crawled by a slug.
"We bumped into an acquaintance and went to say hi."
When Bai Qianqian came closer, Shi Li unmistakably smelt a soft and elegant white floral scent, which resembled Bai Qianqian herself.
Inside the subtle floral scent, there were also traces of men’s cologne.
Not having smelt any fragrance from Second Young Master Fu, it was obvious where the scent originated from.
Sun Shouli probably sprayed the perfume to mask the smell of old age.
Finally, the banquet ended, and Huang Jie returned home empty-handed with her two daughters.
It can't exactly be said they returned empty-handed, as Song Ying filled herself with snacks, and Shi Li with melons.
"There was nothing suitable at the venue today, I will buy you something nice next time."
Shi Li didn't care much, "You should rest, I don't like using things others have used."
Sitting in the co-pilot seat, Huang Jie turned back and glanced at Song Ying who was obediently fastening her seatbelt behind her.
"Xiaoying, do you want to stay at your aunt's house today, live with your sister, or should I ask the driver to take you home?"
Song Ying weighed her options in her heart, wondering which choice would cause less trouble to others, she then said, “Please ask the driver to take me home.”
"Alright," sighed Huang Jie, "Let's have the driver take you home first, you must be exhausted today."
Because Shi's Grandmother, an elder in the family, sometimes stays at the old house, it would be disrespectful for Huang Jie, her daughter-in-law, not to pay a visit.
So, Huang Jie and Shi Li followed Song Ying into the old house.
Shi's Grandmother had already gone to her room to rest, and uncle and aunt were not in the living room. Although the living room lights were on, only the Youngest Uncle Shi and Hong Yan were present.
Neither Hong Ya and the Youngest Uncle Shi were liked by Huang Jie, but she had to greet them upon entering the room. Compared to Hong Yan, who she disliked more, Huang Jie chose to greet Youngest Uncle Shi.
Youngest Uncle Shi respected his sister-in-law immensely and asked with a smile how their day was.
"It was very fun!"
Song Ying took up the conversation.
Song Ying then said, "We also met Xu General's wife today."
