Happy Divorce Chapter 1 (Part 5)
Happy Divorce Chapter 1 (Part 5) Original translation is from tenderflower's blog.
The girl in his memory was gentle and graceful, and the gentleness in front of him was still there, but with an indescribable feeling.
What was it?
He frowned slightly and looked straight at her.
“Isn’t this Su Manlu? Why did she come to Huayin Tower?” Tang Yinfeng also came to his side and looked downstairs with interest.
The wet nurse from Huayin Tower stepped forward and bowed towards Su Manlu respectfully. “Eldest young lady, why didn’t you inform Mei Niang first if you were coming? If Mei Niang knew the eldest young lady was coming, Huayin Tower would be closed today.”
When these words came out, everyone was shocked. Look at the attitude and words of this wet nurse, it was as if Su Manlu was the owner of Huayin Tower.
“I’m just here to discuss business with Boss Qian. I took a look at the Huayin Tower. It seems to be very lively. Mei Niang, you have taken good care of this Huayin Tower.” Su Manlu smiled, her voice neither gentle nor serious, but everyone heard it clearly.
“Eldest young lady, you are the boss of Huayin Tower!” Boss Qian’s eyes widened in shock. He never expected that Huayin Tower was actually related to the Su family.
He said he wanted to go to Huayin Tower to discuss business because he deliberately wanted to make things difficult for Su Manlu. He didn’t believe a woman would dare to go to a brothel. Unexpectedly, Su Manlu agreed.
This agreement made him feel confused. He had also heard about Su Manlu’s methods, and he was worried Su Manlu would want to cause trouble for him. Now he regretted it. He didn’t expect the boss behind Huayin Tower to be her.
Facing everyone’s surprise, Su Manlu still smiled calmly. She bought Huayin Tower a year ago. She thought it was a good place to make money from prostitutes, so she decided to try it out. The result satisfied her.
“Mei Niang, prepare a room and get us some good food. I want to discuss things with Boss Qian. By the way, let Mingyue come over and tell her to serve Boss Qian well.” Mingyue was the courtesan of Huayin Tower. She only saw three guests a day. Some people have been waiting for several months and may not even be able to see Mingyue.
When Boss Qian heard that Mingyue would serve him, his round face wrinkled with a smile. He had spent a lot of money but never saw Mingyue. He never thought Mingyue would serve him today. How could he not be happy?
“Eldest young lady, thank you for your hospitality.”
“Don’t mention it. I’m the host and Boss Qian is the guest. Of course, the guest must be satisfied.” Besides, a man wouldn’t be able to think clearly when he was drunk. She could slaughter this fat sheep.
Su Manlu still smiled gently, hiding her cunning thoughts in her smile. She had the wet nurse lead the way, leading them to the back room.
Ignoring everyone’s attention, her steps under her embroidered shoes were light and steady, her beautiful eyes raised inadvertently, but they happened to meet a pair of dark brown pupils.
Her calm black pupils were stunned for a moment, looking at the man almost in disbelief. Her chest was shaken heavily, and her small calm face was slightly distorted.
Yan Feixi, why was he here?
The man curled his thin lips. Unlike her shock, his handsome face was calm, and his brown eyes stared intently at her.
“Miss, what’s wrong with you?” Bi Luo was scared by the look on her face. Was there anything upstairs?
She looked up, and her eyes widened when she saw the man.
“S-son-in...”
“Bi Luo.” Su Manlu uttered and glanced at Bi Luo lightly.
Bi Luo was frightened and quickly lowered her head, but her heart was still shocked. Son-in-law, he... no! Not, what kind of son-in-law! Pah pah pah.
But, how could he appear in Nanxi City and let Miss see him? And today it was still... Heavens! Bi Luo’s heart was beating fast, and her palms were sweating.
“Eldest young lady?” Sensing something strange about her, the wet nurse asked her in a low voice.
“It’s nothing, just lead the way.” Su Manlu shook her head. Although her face was pale, she had regained her composure. She stopped looking upstairs and left the hall as if she had never seen that man before.
As soon as Su Manlu left, the quiet hall immediately became noisy. Everyone was talking about the daughter of the Su family, but Yan Feixi was still staring at her disappearing figure.
“The eldest young lady of the Su family, tsk tsk, her reputation is well-deserved!” Tang Yinfeng sighed softly, waving the folding fan gracefully. “Buying a brothel is really not something that ordinary girls would do.”
“Is she famous in Nanxi City?” Yan Feixi asked, thinking about the moment when their eyes met. He saw the shock, panic, and flash of pain in her eyes.
Just for a second, her black eyes returned to calmness, as if nothing had happened.
“You know the Su family, right? She is the only daughter of the Su family. She is the one who manages the Su family now. People in the business world call her the eldest young lady. Don’t underestimate her because she is a woman. She is very ruthless and manages the Su family very well. She is not inferior to her father at all...”
Listening to Tang Yinfeng’s words, Yan Feixi’s mind gradually drifted away.
He finally knew what was different about her from two years ago. Two years ago, she was gentle and elegant, like a crescent moon rippling in the river, but now she was a sharp blade, and her soft appearance was the scabbard. She seemed gullible, but if you were not careful, you would be cut by the unsheathed sword.
Same person, but different style, only two years had passed, and she changed so much.
Yan Feixi was surprised. What was the reason for her change... “Has she remarried?” He couldn’t help but ask.
“You’ve also heard about her divorce. She hasn’t remarried yet, but many people are still coming to the Su family to ask for marriage...”
Yan Feixi didn’t hear the rest of the words, and his thoughts drifted away again.
Su Manlu... a woman different from the one in his memory.
