Chapter 16: Tricked
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Qin Xiao volunteered to help and followed behind Song Wei. Every time he pulled out the lotus roots, they were broken. They looked very ugly.
Song Wei did not want to see him spoil the food. She said with disdain, “Stop. Go up and wait.”
Qin Xiao felt wronged. This was the first time in his life that he had plucked lotus roots. “Master, I can learn it. Give me another chance.”
Song Wei ignored him.
The lotus roots were almost done. Just as Song Wei was about to go ashore, a black car stopped in front of her. A man in a suit got out of the car. “Excuse me, is this Miss Song?”
Song Wei climbed out of the pond. Her hair was messy, and her face was covered in mud. She fiddled with the hair that was covering her face and nodded. “Yes.”
“Master Lou wants you to send venison to the Shuiyun Courtyard Holiday Villa. We need it for tonight’s banquet.”
Song Wei felt that she owed Lou Junchen a favor, so she agreed to it. “Okay, I’ll go right away.”
Afraid that Lou Junchen would need the food in a hurry, Song Wei did not even change her clothes. She wore the clothes that were covered in mud and rushed to the villa with Qin Xiao in her slippers.
When they reached the entrance of the holiday villa, there were top-class luxury cars everywhere. The holiday villa was filled with laughter. Song Wei looked at the driver who was leading the way and asked, “Is there an event here today?”
“Old Master Lou’s 80th birthday is being held inside. Master Lou asked you to send some venison over to let him have a taste.”
Song Wei nodded. “Then park the car near the kitchen. I’ll send the venison directly to the kitchen.”
The Shuiyun Courtyard Holiday Villa occupied a large area. The car traveled quite a distance before it was stopped inside. The man in black directed Song Wei. “There are only small roads ahead, so the car can’t enter. Follow me.”
Qin Xiao acted as an invisible tool, carrying a large box of venison and following behind Song Wei.
On both sides of the small road were lush trees that blocked the hot sunlight, bringing a hint of coolness in the midsummer. As the three of them walked deeper, the laughter got louder. Finally, Song Wei was brought to the side of a small lake. The surroundings were bustling with people. On the green lawn were more than a dozen white round tables. The tabletops were covered with exquisite tablecloths, and on the round tables were vases and hydrangeas. They were very beautiful.
The men were in suits and leather shoes, while the women were wearing custom-made gowns. They made the banquet look more beautiful. Everyone here exuded a noble and elegant glow.
Song Wei, who was still covered in mud, did not fit in with everything here.
“Aren’t you taking us to the kitchen?”
Song Wei raised her head. The man in black who had just brought them over had long disappeared. She raised her eyebrow and instantly realized that she had been tricked.
However… Song Wei was not flustered at all. She would take whatever came her way. She was not afraid of anything.
Lou Xue saw the dirty Song Wei through the crowd, and her eyes flashed with a scheming look. She pulled An Nuan and whispered, “The show is about to begin. Next, you should watch how this village woman will embarrass herself.”
After saying that, she tidied up her skirt and pulled Song Wei in a familiar manner. “Miss Song, you’re here. Come quickly, I’ll introduce you to some friends.”
Song Wei, who had just come out of the pond looking disheveled, suddenly entered this luxurious banquet. She was like Cinderella, who had been stripped of her pumpkin carriage and beautiful gown. She was in a sorry state as she faced this magnificent palace, accepting everyone’s scrutiny.
The guests could not hide their disgust as they looked at her. She was so dirty, so much so that even the waiters at the banquet were dressed better than her. ‘Where did this woman come from?’
Lou Xue ignored Song Wei’s wishes and forced her to come to Old Master Lou’s side. Taking advantage of Lou Junchen’s absence, she introduced Old Master Lou with a smile, “Old Master, this is Song Wei, a villager from the neighboring Liaoxi Village. She has been very close to Third Elder Brother recently and is going after him.”
Song Wei. “???’
‘Sis, what nonsense are you talking about?’
Qin Xiao tightened his grip on the box of venison. It was over. His master was about to lose her temper.
“Hahaha.”
The guests laughed like they had heard a funny joke. Before long, Song Wei was greeted with ridicule.
“Is this woman crazy? Is she trying to go after Third Master Lou? She should at least take a look at herself.”
“She’s punching above her weight!”
“A small villager actually dares to desire Third Master Lou. Third Master Lou is noble and elegant. How could a small villager like her dream of him? As expected, people from small places just can’t make it. She’s a retard.”
An Nuan hid in the crowd and happily listened to the people around her taunting Song Wei. ‘This woman thinks that she can climb up to Lou Junchen’s bed just because she’s somewhat beautiful.. She wants to rise to a high status, but she didn’t see if she can withstand the price that comes with it.’
