Chapter 23: Many Requests

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

“Sheng Jiu, I have a lot of requests. Are you really willing?” Shen Xiuwen was not joking. Perhaps he was thinking too much. He felt that Sheng Jiu was not a Little Fool who would be manipulated by others.

“Yes.” Sheng Jiu nodded.

“Then treat me to a meal first. I’ll talk about the rest when I think of it.” Shen Xiuwen saw the serious look on Sheng Jiu’s face and felt that it was worth it to show off his abdominal muscles.

“Fourth Brother, you can choose the cafeteria.” It was just a meal, and Sheng Jiu could still afford it. What she was worried about now was what Shen Xiuwen’s remaining requests would be. This man was scheming and unpredictable. No one knew what he was thinking, but Sheng Jiu was not too afraid. She would deal with whatever came his way. She believed that she could satisfy Shen Xiuwen’s request. If Shen Xiuwen’s request was too much, she would pretend to be stupid and avoid marrying him.

“He Sijun, where’s Cheng Taibo?” Sheng Jiu did not forget that scumbag. Although she really wanted He Sijun to kill Cheng Taibo, Cheng Taibo was still useful to Sheng Jiu. He could not die for the time being.

“He was just beaten up and thrown to the hospital. Following your words, he didn’t die. But, Sheng Jiu, have you become stupid from studying in the Buddhist temple? Your mind is really filled with Buddha’s mercy. Cheng Taibo has already treated you like that, and you still want to let him off?” He Sijun was too curious about Sheng Jiu. She was clearly so ruthless to Chu Ling’er and Chu Haotian, so why did she become soft when it came to Cheng Taibo? There were too many mysteries about Sheng Jiu. No wonder even Fourth Master looked at her in a new light. Perhaps the Little Fool was a fool? Perhaps she could turn on her IQ at any time and play tricks like a cheat?

“The Buddhist Temple teaches a lot of things, not just Buddha’s mercy.” Sheng Jiu’s lips curled into a faint smile. The Buddhist Temple did not teach Sheng Jiu much. Other than knocking on wooden fish and chanting scriptures, there was nothing else. However, she had changed her soul now and knew a lot of things. She would let them experience it in the future.

“I do want to experience it. I hope I have the chance,” He Sijun said half-jokingly.

“If you want to see it, then go to the Buddhist temple and stay there for 18 years.” Shen Xiuwen gave He Sijun a cold look.

“Fourth Master, I don’t want to become a monk. I haven’t had enough fun in this world. Besides, I can’t bear to part with you…” He Sijun deliberately pinched his throat. It was better to strangle him to death than to let him become a monk!

“Sheng Jiu, let’s go.” Shen Xiuwen waved at Sheng Jiu.

“Huh?” Sheng Jiu was puzzled.

Shen Xiuwen: “Buy me dinner.”

“Sheng Jiu, are you alright?” Jiang Pan had been waiting anxiously in the hall. When he saw Sheng Jiu coming out, he quickly went up to him. Then, he glanced at Shen Xiuwen and He Sijun warily, afraid that they would do something to Sheng Jiu.

“It’s fine.” Sheng Jiu’s tone was indifferent.

“Where’s Cheng Taibo?” Jiang Pan asked in a low voice. That bastard Cheng Taibo actually dared to have designs on Sheng Jiu and even kidnapped her to the mountain. He had to teach him a lesson and let him know what it meant to be a person. He had to know who he could touch and what he could not.

“You’ll see him in two days.” Sheng Jiu knew that He Sijun meant what he said. Cheng Taibo was probably badly beaten up and then thrown to the hospital. Cheng Taibo would probably have to recuperate for many days.

“You didn’t kill him, did you?” Jiang Pan asked in a low voice. He glanced at Shen Xiuwen. He knew this man’s methods. He could torture people to death and make them wish they were dead. In short, anyone who fell into his hands would not have a good ending. He was cold-blooded and cruel. Sheng Jiu was an innocent little fool. He did not know if she would go astray if she stayed with Shen Xiuwen for too long.

“There’s no point in killing him now,” Sheng Jiu said lightly.

Jiang Pan paused for a moment. It was over. Sheng Jiu had indeed gone astray.

“It’s getting late. Sheng Jiu, let me send you home.” Jiang Pan held Sheng Jiu’s hand and walked out.

“Young Master Jiang, you said Sheng Jiu is leaving?” Shen Xiuwen asked lightly.

“Fourth Master Shen, Sheng Jiu is my cousin. I brought him out. Of course, I have to send him back. Otherwise, I will be scolded.” Jiang Pan did not dare to provoke Shen Xiuwen, but protecting Sheng Jiu was more important at this time.

“Young Master Jiang, Sheng Jiu said that he would treat our Fourth Master to a meal. If you’re worried, you can come with us.” He Sijun looked at Jiang Pan with a smile. His fake smile was really scary.

“Sheng Jiu, is what they said true?” Jiang Pan did not believe He Sijun’s words and turned to ask Sheng Jiu.
