Happy Divorce Chapter 4 (Part 1)
Happy Divorce Chapter 4 (Part 1) Original translation is from tenderflower's blog.
Yan Feixi hadn’t seen Su Manlu or his terrifying ex-father-in-law yet. He had just arrived at the door of Su’s mansion and was stopped.
An old man in his 60s stood at the door, holding a bamboo broom in his hand, staring at Yan Feixi with a pair of old eyes.
“This old man, I am Tang Yinfeng, and I have made an appointment with the eldest young lady to be at Su Mansion at noon. Please let her know.” Tang Yinfeng quietly moved his body to block the person behind him. His smile was just right, gentle and polite, but his forehead began to sweat.
Compared to Tang Yinfeng’s nervousness, Yan Feixi looked calm. Looking at the old man, he felt that he looked familiar.
He thought for a while and finally remembered from his vague memory that when he married Su Manlu, this old man was crying miserably at the door as if he was the one marrying off his daughter.
When Yan Feixi thought of the old man, the old man’s eyes instantly widened angrily, “You b*stard! How dare you come to the Su family!” No wonder he felt like this boy looked familiar. No one would easily forget such a face. Wasn’t this boy the Yan family scoundrel who divorced his young lady?!
Recognizing the person, the old man blushed angrily and hit Yan Feixi with a bamboo broom, shouting curses in a loud voice.
“Brat! How dare you come to the Su family? Why, you didn’t bully our young lady enough in the past, and now you come here to look for her? Do you think our Su family is easy to bully?”
Yan Feixi dodged the bamboo broom and pushed Tang Yinfeng forward without guilt, making him block it.
“Old man! Old man, please calm down...” Tang Yinfeng, who was beaten several times for no apparent reason, complained in his heart. He lamented that he had made careless friends. It was none of his business, so why was he the one who was beaten?!
“Get out of the way, kid!” The old man roared angrily. Seeing that Tang Yinfeng was standing before him, he narrowed his eyes. “Good, do you want to help this brat? Then I’ll beat you too!” The bamboo broom hit Tang Yinfeng unceremoniously.
“Ah... Old man...” Tang Yinfeng was troubled and couldn’t fight back. After all, the other party was old. He couldn’t help but stare at Yan Feixi, but he saw the guy leaning at the door, looking leisurely as if enjoying a farce.
Seeing this, Tang Yinfeng was annoyed and yelled at Yan Feixi angrily, “Hey, Yan Feixi! You still dare to stand there and watch the show. Why don’t you think of a way?!”
“Think of what way?” Yan Feixi shrugged. Looking at the old man’s attitude, he knew he would never listen to explanations. Besides, he was really sorry for Su Manlu, so he could only let the old man beat him a few times to vent his anger.
Yan Feixi touched his nose and looked at Tang Yinfeng. The meaning was evident——anyway, you have thick skin and flesh, so it was okay to be beaten a few times.
Hey, hey, was this what someone should say?
Tang Yinfeng was angry. Obviously, he was being used as a scapegoat, so he wouldn’t do it. “Old man, every injustice has its head, every debt has its owner. It’s this b*stard who’s sorry for your lady, so you should settle the score with him.” He yelled anxiously and hurriedly hid aside.
There was no one to stop him, so the old man glared at Yan Feixi fiercely and hit Yan Feixi’s body mercilessly with the bamboo broom in his hand.
Yan Feixi did not dodge but looked to the right and saw a slender figure approaching.
“Stop.” Just when the bamboo broom was about to fall on Yan Feixi, a soft voice stopped the old man’s movements.
The old man stopped and turned his head in surprise. He was afraid the young lady would be sad when she saw the Yan family boy. He hurriedly said: “Don’t worry, Miss, I’ll drive him out immediately.” He then used a bamboo broom to drive him away.
“Uncle Wang.” Su Manlu looked at the loyal old servant and smiled at him. “Those who come here are guests. Don’t let people say that our Su family doesn’t know how to treat guests.”
“But...”
“Uncle Wang.” Su Manlu stepped forward and held Uncle Wang’s hand, asking him to put down the bamboo broom in his hand. “Don’t worry, I will take care of it.” She knew Uncle Wang cared about her. Uncle Wang, who had watched her grow up, loved her no less than her father.
Uncle Wang also knew his young lady’s temperament, so he put down the broom angrily and glared at Yan Feixi unwillingly when he put it down.
“Uncle Wang, you can go and do your own thing. I will greet the guests.” Patting Uncle Wang’s hand, Su Manlu comforted him softly.
Uncle Wang nodded. Before leaving, he did not forget to warn Yan Feixi, “You b*stard, this is the Su family. If you dare to bully my young lady, I will never let you go!”
Yan Feixi didn’t care about Uncle Wang’s cruel words and even found them fascinating. He looked at Su Manlu. His eyes had been on her since she appeared.
“This Uncle Wang loves you very much.” Although he didn’t think she would pay attention to him, he still spoke but didn’t expect her to look at him.
“Uncle Wang is very kind. He did this because he felt aggrieved for me.” Su Manlu said calmly. She wasn’t surprised he would show up, but she didn’t expect him to dare come to Su’s mansion. Fortunately, her father accompanied Aunt Lian to a temple in a neighboring city to offer incense in the morning and would not be back until tomorrow. Otherwise, if her father saw him, he would definitely kill someone with a knife.
Yan Feixi raised his eyebrows. He was surprised by Su Manlu’s attitude. It was so calm and clear, which was completely different from what he thought. He couldn’t help but ask her, “Uncle Wang is aggrieved for you, but what about you? Don’t you have any grievances in your heart?”
Facing his question, Su Manlu only found it funny. Was there no grievance? Ha, how daring of him to ask her that?
How could he ask?
A trace of anger rose from her heart. She secretly clenched her hands in her sleeves, but the expression on her face was still cold. Su Manlu asked, “What about you? You appear in front of me again and again. What do you want to do?”
He didn’t want to do anything but make amends.
But Yan Feixi knew that if he said this, she would definitely be angered.
“I’m here to discuss business.”
Su Manlu sneered. “I’m sorry, but I don’t want to do business with you.”
Knowing she would say this, Yan Feixi was not surprised at all. He was already prepared. “To be precise, I am negotiating business with the eldest young lady on behalf of the Tang family.”
