Chapter 787: Chapter 787: Mischievous Idea Chapter 787: Chapter 787: Mischievous Idea Young Master Wu initially considered Su Ningxiu merely as a novelty, a plaything to toy with. He was the local lord of the town and had never dallied with a rural girl like Su Ningxiu.
The day he first laid eyes on Su Ningxiu, he was struck by her delicate beauty, which set her apart from the average rural girl, and Young Master Wu became immediately interested in her.
He thought it wouldn’t be too bad to sample the flavor of a country girl like Su Ningxiu. So, Young Master Wu started harboring improper intentions towards her.
Yet, when Young Master Wu arranged to meet Su Ningxiu on his boat that last time, her inexplicable failure to show up made him even more patient with her.
Men are like that, after all; the more unattainable something is, the more they want it. Su Ningxiu stood him up, and Young Master Wu didn’t get his way with her.
He became even more unwilling to let her go.
Young Master Wu went looking for Su Ningxiu repeatedly, but she avoided him, never showing her face, not even her shadow could Young Master Wu catch a glimpse of.
Su Ningxiu’s sudden change, besides perplexing Young Master Wu, also left him feeling anxious and agitated, as if previously, he had just wanted to toy with her.
Now, however, Young Master Wu harbored thoughts of taking her as a concubine. Su Ningxiu was unlike any ordinary rural woman, and Young Master Wu was willing to take her in as a concubine.
After all, he already had two or three concubines at home; adding Su Ningxiu to the mix wouldn’t matter. But without her, Young Master Wu believed it would be hard to find another woman in the countryside like Su Ningxiu. Based on his many years of experience with women,
he knew Su Ningxiu was a rare gem and he did not want to miss out on a woman like her. Su Ningxiu didn’t want Young Master Wu to touch her and kept retreating, but Young Master Wu pursued her relentlessly. She attempted to escape through the crowd, only to be blocked by Young Master Wu’s servants.
Su Yunjin hurriedly made her way through the crowd and immediately spotted Su Ningxiu, “Second sister!” Su Yunjin shouted, causing Su Ningxiu to turn around reflexively.
And saw Su Yunjin running towards her.
Su Yunjin squeezed her way to the front of the crowd. At that moment, Young Master Wu also turned his gaze toward Su Yunjin, and upon seeing her, his eyes widened in amazement.
He had thought Su Ningxiu was a rare beauty among rural girls, but when he saw Su Yunjin, he realized Su Ningxiu paled in comparison to her.
It was as if one was a pearl, the other a luminous pearl. Alone, a pearl was beautiful and precious, but next to a luminous pearl, it lost all its allure.
Young Master Wu’s eyes were glued to Su Yunjin. Noticing that Su Yunjin had her hair styled in the manner of a married woman, he felt a sense of regret that such a rare beauty was already wed.
Otherwise, he would have taken the opportunity to take this exquisite woman into his household as well. Young Master Wu delighted in the thought, unaware of the look of disgust from Su Yunjin.
Su Ningxiu saw Su Yunjin and asked, “Little sister, why are you here?” Su Yunjin did not respond to Su Ningxiu’s question, instead, she scrutinized the son of the Wu family who had deceived her elder sister.
She really wanted to see what the son of the Wu family who had tricked her elder sister actually looked like.
He already has a wife and concubines and still dared to deceive her elder sister?
The son of the Wu family had no idea what Su Yunjin was thinking. Seeing her staring at him, he thought she was also interested in him and was instantly pleased.
“This lady? You are Xiuxiu’s younger sister, aren’t you?”
