Wen Ruhua was very stirred up and he trembled with rage as he shouted at Ning Shu. He was so stirred up that his spit almost landed on her, so she hastily took a step back before saying sadly, “Cousin, do you still blame Qinxiang?”
Wen Ruhua’s facial color was very ugly. He was so angry he couldn’t even get any words out.
Yue Lan couldn’t stand to watch silently any longer and pulled Ning Shu to the side to ask, “Miss, when did you change names? And when did you end up having such a distant cousin?”
Ning Shu patted Yue Lan’s head and consoled her, “Be good, alright? Your miss naturally has her reasons.”
Wen Ruhua looked at Ning Shu with a complicated expression as he asked, “What did you come back for?”
“Of course it was to find you, Cousin,” replied Ning Shu.
Wen Ruhua was hit by another wave of anger and he glared at Ning Shu as he said, “You’ve already gotten married, so why are you looking for me? What exactly are you treating me as?”
Oh, in reality, there was actually quite a complicated and silly story that changed Wen Ruhua’s fate.
It was simply that Wen Ruhua and his younger cousin were betrothed and also in love with each other. Wen Ruhua was very scholarly and talented, and came from a pretty good family, so he swore to marry Bai Qinxiang as soon as he passed the imperial examination.
However, a bolt from the blue struck before Wen Ruhua had the chance to take the exam. His cousin’s father ignored the engagement and married Bai Qinxiang off to the son of an important official.
And that official wasn’t someone that Wen Ruhua could afford to provoke. He sought Bai Qinxiang out and asked for an explanation. They had been so in love in the past, yet she had gotten married to someone else just like that.
When Wen Ruhua met with Bai Qinxiang, she had said guiltily, “I’m sorry, Cousin, I can’t wait anymore. Rather than wait for the distant day that you pass the imperial exam, I’d rather choose someone that has already made a name for himself. Cousin, you should just forget me. You’ll meet someone that deserves your love more.”
Wen Ruhua couldn’t believe it. They used to have such a close and sweet relationship, yet she had cut off their ties so heartlessly. All the promises from the past, their vows that their hearts beat as one, they were all nothing! Wen Ruhua was so angry he felt like his liver was about to explode.
All women were lowly wretches that only liked wealth and glory. All officials were tyrannical despots that cared nothing for the commoners. This world was just filled with darkness and filth!
After Wen Ruhua got drunk, he abandoned his family and ran to a remote village to become a teacher.
He’d often lament that all his political knowledge was now useless, but at the same time, he felt contempt for the dishonest officials. He swore to himself that he wouldn’t touch politics again in this life.
Wen Ruhua hated the official’s son that stole away the person he loved so he started hating officials in general. Thus, he decided to hide in this remote place in order to get away from such a ‘corrupted’ life.
Ning Shu’s lips twitched. It felt like Wen Ruhua’s brain worked completely differently from that of normal men. Most mentally strong men would start a revenge story after experiencing this event and climb up into power in order to deal some face-slapping to the cousin before marrying a woman that was better than the cousin, live better than the cousin, and make the cousin regret her choice.
However, Wen Ruhua just dropped everything and hid away to soak in his bitterness and sorrow.
This guy was seriously unbelievable.
Ning Shu felt that if it was her, she wouldn’t take a fancy to this sort of man either. A man’s ability and sense of responsibility was the most apparent after a crushing event occured, and this event showed that Wen Ruhua was a useless man.
He was immature, unreasonable temperamental, and baselessly chunni.
“Say something! What did you come back for!? Is it because that son of the official finally discarded you? You’ve never been anyone beautiful, it’s natural that he’d get tired of you.” Wen Ruhua’s voice was a little sharp as he vented his anger.
“Ding, trauma points +20. Ning Shu, mwuah! Did you miss me?” 2333’s voice appeared in Ning Shu’s brain.
Ning Shu: “Scram.”
“Humph, tsundere woman.” 2333 gave a cold humph, then disappeared.
“Why aren’t you saying anything? Why did you come back to look for me? Did you think I’d still accept you? I’ve been tricked by you once, I won’t be tricked by you again!” Wen Ruhua was still shouting at Ning Shu.
Ning Shu had been distracted by the system so this sudden shouting almost burst her ear drums.
She dug at her ears as she looked at Wen Ruhua. He looked elegant and refined enough like a gentle scholar, but why was he so chunni?
Dear angry youth, your image was seriously collapsing.
