Chapter 859: What’s The Matter With Her?
Upstairs, Dongfang Ming saw Wang Xixuan coming with Ming Yan, so he sat back by the table and began to make tea.
Along the way, Wang Xixuan got lost in thought, wondering how he should inform the man about his sister’s situation.
Because right now, Dongfang Ming was perhaps the only one who could save her!
“Master Wang, please come in.” Ming Yan pushed the door open and respectfully allowed Wang Xixuan to enter first.
Dongfang Ming was already expecting the two. He looked over to them. “Brother Wang, I have prepared your favorite Biluochun tea. Have a seat.”
Sadness hanging on his face, Wang Xixuan sat down and drank his tea in one gulp.
It was hot out there, and he was terribly upset. He needed to quench his thirst.
There was a block of ice in the room, but he could not feel the coolness.
“What’s on your mind?” Dongfang Ming asked him, concerned.
“Brother Dongfang, I…” Wang Xixuan could not find the words, for once. He sighed, brows furrowed.
“Hmm…”
Perhaps the man was not ready to speak. Dongfang Ming let him take his time as he added more tea into the cup.
Ming Yan picked up on the cue and left the room, closing the door behind him.
After a while, Wang Xixuan spoke. “Brother Dongfang, I came here for your help, and you must, otherwise… I don’t know what else to do!”
Dongfang Ming smiled at him. “You really need my help? Brother Wang, you are a dignified scholar, a second-rank official. You must have more ideas than a mere merchant such as I. You don’t have to flatter me.”
He had a feeling Wang Xixuan’s request would not be simple, so he did not want to accept it easily.
Normally, he would agree to his favors without much thought! After all, they were friends, and they helped each other.
“Brother Dongfang, I’m not flattering you. It’s about my sister. She really needs your help. Only then will she get better!”
He did not want to beat around the bush, so he went straight to the point.
About Wang Xiangyun?
Dongfang Ming frowned slightly.
That was what he thought. Something bad must have happened!
“What’s the matter with her?”
In a flash, he was reminded of the day he left Anping town. Wang Xiangyun had spiked his tea. In an attempt to convince him, she drank half of it.
“Brother Dongfang!” Wang Xixuan left his seat and sank onto his knees with a thud, kneeling before Dongfang Ming.
“Brother Dongfang, my sister’s love for you has cost her her life. An unforgivable thing has happened, and I apologize to you on her behalf! However, seeing how the three of us have grown up together, can you free her from her suffering?”
Dongfang Ming urged him to get up and stop this big show of begging for mercy. “Brother Wang, what’s gotten into you? Get up, talk to me.”
“Brother Dongfang, if you don’t accept my request, I won’t get up!”
Dongfang Ming frowned. When a good friend throws themselves at one’s mercy, it reduces their life span, doesn’t it?
“What’s the matter with her?”
If he would not get up, there was nothing Dongfang Ming could do about it.
“Yun Er… Several punks have taken her virginity.”
Wang Xixuan, a man tall and proud, spoke in a trembling voice, leaving Dongfang Ming stunned and at a loss for words.
He had his doubts then whether he should have left decidedly that day.
He should have stopped her, and waited until her servant Little Tian returned, before taking his leave.
“Brother Dongfang, Yun Er has returned to the capital for a few days now, but she has neither looked for you nor come home!”
