Chapter 38 - Bigger and Stronger (3)

After he got home, Young Master Nan watched two romance movies. Both of them talked about how great love was, the difficulties and the bitterness involved, etc. etc…. They made Young Master Nan feel that he had found his true love so he was very agreeable, "Sure! I will even wait 10 years if that's what it will take!"

Having said that, he felt extremely proud of himself, sacrificing so much for true love.

Suddenly, he bounced up from the couch and started das.h.i.+ng upstairs.

Mr. Nan shouted at him, "And just where do you think you are going?"

"To look for my textbooks. Didn't you say you want me to go back to school?"

Mrs. Nan was still trying to recollect her thoughts from what just transpired, she muttered, "In that case… are we still going to meet with Zhong Chi's older daughter?"

Young Master Nan asked dubiously, "Uncle Zhong has an older daughter?"

"Yes, the one that Xu Yunhui brought with her," said Mr. Nan coldly.

"Her name is Xu Yushan," added Mrs. Nan.

Young Master Nan, "Oh, that doesn't concern me. No! I don't want to meet her!"

Mrs. Nan's face turned colors, "But we have already made the arrangements…"

Young Master Nan dashed into his own room while thinking that he should probably also pick up taekwondo.

Otherwise, he was no match to those two b.a.s.t.a.r.ds, how was he supposed to take Zhong Yuhuan from the two of them?

Xu Yushan had been waiting for days at the mansion for words from the Nan's.

She had no respect for that Young Master Nan; he was so immature for his age. Yet, on the other hand, she eyed the wealth of the Nan's. She knew that if she could become Young Master Nan's wife, she'd instantly get the t.i.tle of Young Mistress Nan. She'd never run out of money again, and n.o.body would bring up her illegitimate status again.

These thoughts made her look forward to the call.

It was only that she had waited and waited, and there was still no news from the other end.

Xu Yushan was very worried that this opportunity would pa.s.s her by. She knew that the only reason she had a shot at this was because Mrs. Nan wanted to find her son an older and more mature woman to be his wife, in the hope that she'd help him stay on the right path.

If she missed this opportunity, she might never find another family as attractive as the Nan's.

As she got anxious about it, no matter how hard she tried to hide it, one could still tell from her look.

Zhong Chi scanned her face, frowned, and said, "Stop that! You must act more like an upper cla.s.s young woman.

Xu Yunhui immediately put her hand on Xu Yushan.

Xu Yushan pouted, feeling like a bucket of cold water had just been poured over her.

(T/N: equivalent to English saying: rain on my parade, meaning someone squelching your enthusiasm in something.)

Before she came to the Zhong's, Xu Yushan had always looked up to her father. Now that she had entered the Zhong's, she slowly realized that her status in her father's eyes might not necessarily be higher than that of Zhong Yuhuan's.

Her father was slowly becoming more and more strict with her.

Suddenly, Xu Yunhui's cell phone rang.

Xu Yunhui mouthed the words, "The Nan's."

Zhong Chi didn't show anything from his look. He picked the newspaper back up and continued with his reading.

As for Xu Yushan, her heart practically leapt into her throat and gradually a smile spread across her face.

Xu Yunhui quickly picked up the phone. She was used to putting up a front, so regardless of the outcome, it was rare to see any signs of negative emotions on her.

Xu Yushan wasn't able to glean anything useful from her mother's look and that made her even more anxious. She lifted her hand and brushed the necklace she had on; she had spent quite a bit of time to dress herself up today.

Finally, Xu Yunhui hung up the phone.

"Mom…." Said Xu Yushan immediately.

Yet, the words coming out of Xu Yunhui's mouth was, "The Nan's said to put the meeting off for a while."

Xu Yushan paused for a second and asked, "What does she meant by 'putting it off'? I thought Mrs. Nan likes me?"

Suddenly, she recalled how Young Master Nan chased after Zhong Yuhuan.

He'd rather chased after a little brat instead of her?

Xu Yushan gritted her teeth and inadvertently bit herself on her tongue. The pain caused her to let out a cry.
