Chapter 692 Extreme Contempt
Though the path was sinuous, the views along the way were beautiful.
Because it snowed yesterday and the weather did not clear up today, there was still some snow on the vines.
Just as Zang Linger said, Luo Xi’s father planted many wisteria on the wall of the villa for Luo Xi’s mom.
The vines spread to the villa in which Luo Xi lived.
The villa where Luo Xi lived had a unique wrought-iron gate with beautiful patterns.
It was just that the villa inside looked rather cold and cheerless.
Luo Xi had already dispatched someone to wait for Song Yunxuan and Zang Linger at the gate.
When Song Yunxuan and Zang Linger got off, a young maid came forward to guide them.
The maid and Zang Linger seemed to know each other very well. She smiled at Zang Linger, greeting, “Hi, Miss Zang. Young master let me wait for you here.”
Zang Linger replied politely, “Thanks a lot.”
The maid smiled. Her pretty oval face turned to Song Yunxuan and Mei Qi, “This way, please.”
Song Yunxuan and Mei Qi moved forward.
Seeing that Mei Qi was also following her, the maid halted, saying, “Sorry, but young master only wants to see Miss Song and Miss Zang. As for this gentleman…”
Hearing the maid’s words, Song Yunxuan said to Mei Qi, “Wait for me outside.”
Mei Qi nodded, “OK. I’ll be waiting for you in the car.”
“Okay.”
When they finished their words, Zang Linger followed the maid into the villa.
While walking forward, Zang Linger said, “Luo Xi is quite eccentric.”
“I second that.”
Song Yunxuan said.
“I hope he can be polite to you.”
Zang Linger’s words made Song Yunxuan curious. She asked, “Is he always rude to others?”
Zang Linger smiled, answering, “No, not to others. Actually, he is only rude to women.”
Song Yunxuan chuckled, “He is also rude to you?”
Zang Linger replied, “Yes.”
She answered firmly.
Zang Linger’s reply made Song Yunxuan more curious. She wondered, “Why?”
“I have no idea.”
Song Yunxuan smiled, asking, “You mean there’s something the Zang Family doesn’t know?”
“It’s not strange. Though my family knows a lot, there are certain things we don’t know. Everyone has his or her own secrets, and we can’t get to the bottom of everyone’s secrets. Besides, Luo Xi has been eccentric since his childhood.”
Song Yunxuan pondered, replying, “No matter what he was like, there was a reason for that. I don’t think Luo Xi is born eccentric.”
“Anyway, he has hated women since I made contact with him.”
Song Yunxuan gently repeated Zang Linger’s words, “Hated women…”
Zang Linger just followed the maid forward to the reception room.
She didn’t hear what Song Yunxuan said.
After a while, she was led into the living room decorated in the Auropean style by the beautiful maid.
The white fireplace in the living room was decorated with exquisite ornaments.
Song Yunxuan walked to the fireplace and saw that there was a sailboat made of shells, smiling, “I can see that Luo Xi still has a child’s taste.”
Zang Linger asked her, “How could you see that?”
“I remember that sailboats made of shells are cheap and can be seen everywhere in the coastal night markets.”
Hearing that, Zang Linger walked forward to see the sailboat made of shells.
Just as Song Yunxuan said, it was a cheap exhibit that could be seen everywhere.
“Does it show that he is easy-going?”
Zang Linger asked Song Yunxuan with a smile.
Song Yunxuan shook her head, replying, “No.”
“So what do you see from this?”
“Though Luo Xi is not easy-going, at least he is a good person.”
Hearing Song Yunxuan’s opinion of Luo Xi, Zang Linger chuckled, saying, “I don’t think he likes the title.”
“It’s not that simple.”
Song Yunxuan turned to look at other decorations in the room and paintings on the wall.
Zang Linger followed Song Yunxuan’s gaze, saying, “What do you see from the decorations and paintings in the room?”
“Nothing else. Now let’s wait for the little childe.”
Song Yunxuan smiled and took her seat on the sofa. The maid who led Song Yunxuan and Zang Linger here served them some flower tea, saying, “Young master is in the study. Please wait a minute. He’ll be here soon.”
Song Yunxuan and Zang Linger both nodded.
Then the pretty maid left.
“There’s such a beautiful maid in the house. How is it possible that he hates women?” Song Yunxuan joked.
Zang Linger smiled, replying, “Even if there are beauties in his villa, it isn’t enough to show that he likes women.”
“How so?”
Song Yunxuan was curious.
Zang Linger smiled, replying, “Maybe he just treats the beauties as eye candies, just like the vase at the gate.”
Hearing Zang Linger’s amusing words, Song Yunxuan couldn’t help laughing.
She agreed with what Zang Linger said. After all, Zang Linger had lived in Harbor City for so many years and surely knew better than Song Yunxuan about certain persons.
They two drank tea and enjoyed paintings in the room.
Tens of minutes had elapsed in a flash.
Zang Linger had almost finished her tea, but Luo Xi still did not show up.
Song Yunxuan said, “Is it possible that Childe Luo doesn’t want to see us at all?”
“As a man, I don’t think he’ll eat his word.”
Zang Linger said that in a high voice as if she had been deliberately speaking to someone.
Song Yunxuan raised her eyebrows, amused.
The next second, they heard a cold man’s voice, “Men always keep their words, but seldom women can keep theirs.”
Hearing the voice, Zang Linger smiled, replying, “It’s really hard for us to see you, Childe Luo.”
Zang Linger turned her head, following the sound.
So did Song Yunxuan. Then she saw a young man in a white shirt and black trousers walking inside.
The young man had got raven hair and a handsome but cold face, looking attractive.
Song Yunxuan looked at the young man.
He also looked at Song Yunxuan.
When they met each other’s gaze, they both remembered what happened on the Epoch Square last night.
Luo Xi frowned, feeling disgusted, “It was you.”
Hearing that, Zang Linger felt strange, looked at Song Yunxuan, and asked in bewilderment, “You’ve met before?”
“Yes. When I watched the snow in the square last night.”
“Wow! It must be fate.” Zang Linger commented.
Meanwhile, Luo Xi just sniffed.
Seeing Luo Xi, Song Yunxuan found that he was different from the one in the material faxed to her earlier.
Luo Xi only looked a bit like the one in the photo, who looked like a loser.
It was easy to see that the photo in the material was modified, which erased all Luo Xi’s advantages.
Song Yunxuan smiled, greeting, “Nice to meet you, Childe Luo.”
Seeing the smile on Song Yunxuan’s face, Luo Xi knitted his brows, replying, “Just tell me what you want to see me for.”
Seeing that Luo Xi came straight to the point, Song Yunxuan did not beat around the bush, saying, “To be the matchmaker for you.”
The words silenced everyone in the room.
The words made Luo Xi detest Song Yunxuan even more.
Sensing that the atmosphere in the room soured, Zang Linger gently coughed, thawing the atmosphere like a peacemaker, “Luo Xi, you are not a little boy now.”
“It’s none of your business.”
“It’s time for you to have a wife.” Zang Linger continued.
Luo Xi talked back, “It’s also none of your business.”
“But…” Zang Linger still wanted to talk him around.
But Luo Xi cut her off, saying baldly, “I’ve got nothing to talk with you. Please leave.”
With this, Luo Xi prepared to leave.
Seeing that Luo Xi was being so straightforward, Song Yunxuan smiled, saying, “If you don’t marry or settle down, you’ll always be little Childe Luo.”
Hearing that, Luo Xi halted.
Song Yunxuan continued, “Are you willing to be the little childe of the Luo Family all your life?”
Luo Xi was still being stubborn, saying, “So what?”
“Well, perhaps nothing will change.” Song Yunxuan said faintly, “It’s just that I’m wondering if old Mr. Luo can live a long long life.”
Luo Xi’s frown deepened, and he said with displeasure, “How dare you curse my grandfather.”
Song Yunxuan explained, “Please don’t try labeling me. When did I do that?”
“Didn’t you just curse him?”
Luo Xi was getting angry now.
Seeing that, Song Yunxuan said, “You may think of it this way. I hope old Mr. Luo can live a long long life so that he can protect you all your life.”
Hearing that, Luo Xi couldn’t help clenching his fists and glowering at Song Yunxuan rudely. It seemed that he itched to eat Song Yunxuan alive.
However, Song Yunxuan was not afraid of such a young man at all.
She just looked at him smilingly, “Little Childe Luo, it’s also what you want, right?”
It seemed that Song Yunxuan was provoking Luo Xi. She deliberately emphasized the word “little”.
Luo Xi frowned, showing the white feather, “You awful woman. Just say what you want to say. Don’t beat around the bush.”
Luo Xi snapped.
Hearing that, Zang Linger raised her hand and rubbed her brows, feeling vexed.
Yet Song Yunxuan smiled, replying, “Childe Luo, you are being too excited.”
Luo Xi strode over, wanting to slap Song Yunxuan.
Song Yunxuan was not afraid, saying smilingly, “You want to dig your own grave?”
She said casually as if it had nothing to do with her. However, Luo Xi halted his palm on hearing Song Yunxuan’s words.
