Chapter 665: Eldest Nephew Won’t Let Me
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Most of the phone calls were either to order books or to invite Su Wen, the author of “Scumbag’s handbook” to hold a book signing event.
This activity has gained popularity in the past two years. If the author was good-looking and became famous, numerous opportunities for activities and business ventures could arise.
In the future, she might even become a scriptwriter when her book becomes involved in the film and television industry.
Therefore, many writers were very willing to participate in such an event.
The only exception was the author of “Scumbag’s handbook.”
With the increasing sales of “Scumbag’s handbook”, Su Wen also became popular. Countless people wanted to invite her, but the author herself had never made a public appearance. Moreover, the Spring Breeze Publishing House kept postponing the event again and again.
Many people’s frustration was escalating due to the repeated postponements.
“Could it be that Su Wen was extremely ugly? So much so that she could not face the public?” The man on the other end of the phone roared, “Otherwise, Boss Zhou, why did you keep protecting her and not let her come out?”
Zhou Yan was furious when she heard this. Her eldest nephew’s daughter-in-law was beautiful, kind, and talented. Yet this person dared to say that Wenwen was ugly.
“You’re the ugly one. Your whole family is ugly.”
“You, you, you…” The man opposite her was furious. “Did I say something wrong? If she wasn’t extremely ugly, why was she hiding? She must be ashamed of her looks. Otherwise, who would let go of such a good opportunity?”
“No, Su Wen is very good-looking.”
“Since she’s so good-looking, why don’t you let her come out and meet people? I am sure the actual reason was that she was so ugly that people would be scared if she came out to take photos.”
Just like that, Zhou Yan started quarreling with someone over the phone. Xu Pei, who was sitting on the sofa and reading the newspaper, could not stand it anymore and stood up. He instantly unplugged the phone line for Zhou Yan. “You’ve been quarreling with someone over the phone since this morning. Even if you aren’t annoyed, I’m already annoyed.”
“If you want to argue with someone, you can argue about something meaningful. But look at you, what are you arguing about? Why are you arguing with others about whether your eldest nephew’s wife is good-looking or not? I don’t think Nephew Gu will be happy if he finds out.”
That kid was really petty.
“They’re too much. Why do they say that Wenwen is ugly? Wenwen is clearly very good-looking. Why do they have to defame her?”
“With how you kept protecting her from the public, isn’t it inevitable that you’ll give people such a misconception? Besides, I think those people are trying to provoke you on purpose. That way, they can achieve their goal.”
“I want to show her to the public too! But I don’t dare.” Zhou Yan was full of bitterness when she mentioned this. “Eldest nephew wouldn’t let me. I had already arranged for a signing event, but Nephew Gu found out and warned me.”
“Haha!” Not only did Xu Pei not sympathize with Zhou Yan, he even added an insult to her injury. “You only know now that your nephew is petty?”
“I didn’t expect him to be so petty.” She could only admit that she was unlucky.
Xu Pei was on holiday recently. He would come to work with Zhou Yan whenever he had nothing to do. The matter of the opposite was already very clear. He was also very surprised that Hengyang’s wife had this ability. A few days ago, he had also read “Scumbag’s handbook” and found that her thoughts were very bold, her opinions were very sharp, and her words were very humorous.
Although the book didn’t have much profound meaning, it was still a good book.
When he returned to the Capital, he would give them to his nieces as gifts.
He believed that those little girls would like the book.
“Hengyang has found a good wife.” It was rare for Xu Pei to praise someone without seeing it with his own eyes.
“Not only is she good, but she’s also very good-looking.” Zhou Yan liked Su Wen from the bottom of her heart. Unlike Xu Pei who appreciated Su Wen’s talent, she liked Su Wen’s beauty more.
