It's good to exchange marriages. My sister eats coarse food while I wear gold and silver.

Chapter 179 I'd be starving to death by the time you came back

"You have experience in this kind of thing, so I'll take it." Chu Batian agreed readily, "But be careful and don't leave any clues. If someone finds out, Yueshangshao will have to close down. Then you will have to drink with me..."

"Boss, don't worry. I promise that this matter will be handled without any loopholes. They will never find out about Yue Shangshao." Knowing that the boss likes to nag, Yuan Duo immediately interrupted him and assured him confidently, and bowed to Yuan Buwei, "Madam, you can just wait for the result with peace of mind."

Yuan Buwei knew that Yuan Duo had this ability, so she nodded and agreed: "Be careful. If you find that something is wrong, don't put yourself in danger in order to save people."

"clear."

Yuan Buwei watched Yuan Duo leave. When she turned around, she saw Uncle Chu staring at her. She raised her hand and touched her face: "Uncle Chu, is there something on my face?"

"From what I know about you, you would normally avoid such troublesome matters if you can, but now you are willing to accept it..." Chu Batian touched his chin with an unhappy look on his face, "It seems that Young Marquis Lu has given you a lot of love potions."

"Why can't I be a good person and save a few innocent women just because he drugged me?" Yuan Buwei retorted.

"Then why did you come to me to ask for help just because Young Marquis Lu said that he and Ye Shaoqing were good friends?"

"I……"

When Yuan Buwei was with Chu Batian, she never let him get the upper hand, but this time she was speechless.

"Xiao Wei'er, you just like to take on responsibilities that don't belong to you. With your ability, you divorced Young Marquis Lu and came to me. I will take care of you. If anyone dares to talk about you, I will immediately cut the person into pieces."

"Uncle Chu, if I had this idea, I would have just run away from the marriage. Why did I marry him?" This sentence made Yuan Buwei say something. "Take my relationship with you for example. If I hadn't pulled you back from the brink of death, you would have treated me like a half-daughter because I saved your life. What if we just met by chance? Would you think that I, a yellow-haired girl, have a bad temper?"

Now, it was Chu Batian's turn to be speechless.

"I never want someone to protect me from the wind and rain..." Yuan Buwei raised her head and looked directly at Chu Batian, "Instead of waiting for the mercy and blessing of the superiors, it is better to become the power myself. So I helped Lu Sui and saved you, all for myself."

"hiss……"

Chu Batian covered his chest with his hands, his face full of grief: "So, you saved me at the beginning because you thought I was useful?"

"When I saved you, I didn't know you had opened such a big gambling house in the capital." Yuan Buwei said unhappily, "If I knew, I would turn around and leave you to fend for yourself."

"Stop talking, my heart hurts." Chu Batian frowned tightly. Seeing that Yuan Buwei didn't even look at him, but continued to drink tea without changing her expression or heartbeat, he murmured, "You are really stubborn, do you think it's easy to be a superior?"

"I don't know about other people, but I, Yuan Buwei..." Yuan Buwei looked at Chu Batian, "It will definitely work."

"You are right. Uncle Chu supports you." Chu Batian gave a thumbs up. "From now on, Xiao Wei'er, if you have any instructions, just come to me. As long as it is within my ability, I will definitely help you."

"Uncle Chu, aren't you afraid of being implicated by me?"

"I just want to see how high you can go. If you succeed, it will be more beneficial than harmful to me. If you fail, I will draw a line between us, leave the capital, and start over somewhere else."

Although Chu Batian's words seemed cruel, Yuan Buwei understood the meaning of Uncle Chu's words. He would do his best to help her get what she wanted, and he would not implicate her either.

"Uncle Chu, thank you for your good wishes." Yuan Buwei picked up the teacup, "I will use tea instead of wine to toast you."

Because Chu Batian insisted on keeping Yuan Buwei for dinner.

By the time she returned to Wanning Marquis' Mansion, it was already dark.

Lu Sui, who had been waiting for Yuan Buwei to come back, was relieved when he saw her come in, but he complained: "I didn't dare to take a nap when you were out for the whole afternoon."

"I could have returned before dark, but Uncle Chu insisted on keeping me for dinner. I asked him to help me investigate the matter, so I couldn't refuse his kindness." Yuan Buwei put the food box on the table. "He has two new chefs. They are not only good at making dim sum, but also good at cooking. I asked them to make a few dishes for you to try. They are still hot."

It turns out that Avi still misses me.

The resentment in Lu Sui's heart disappeared instantly, and he tried to be brave: "I will be starving to death by the time you come back."

"So you've eaten?"

When Yuan Buwei heard this, she immediately put the dishes back into the food box: "Then I'll give it to Butler Ye. I heard that he has been busy until now and hasn't..."

"No." Lu Sui shouted, with a hint of anxiety in his eyes, "I didn't say I've eaten."

"Then you said that by the time I came back, you would have starved to death. Isn't that what you mean? Have you eaten yet?"

"I……"

Lu Sui was speechless and didn't know how to explain, so he glared at Yuan Buwei angrily.

Until his stomach made a "gurgling, gurgling" sound.

Yuan Buwei burst out laughing: "If you continue to argue with me, the food will really get cold."

"Then you feed me."

"When did I not feed you when you ate?"

Lu Sui felt that he should keep his mouth shut from now on. No matter what he said, Awei would have a reason.

After dinner, they rested for a while.

Yuan Buwei then told Lu Sui what happened with Uncle Chu.

Lu Sui pondered for a while and muttered, "It's not good to always trouble others."

"Uncle Chu, it's fine as long as you don't think it's a bother. Besides, if anything happens to Ye Shaoqing, you will be very sad to lose a good friend."

Yuan Buwei's eyes sparkled, and Lu Sui's heart skipped a beat. The next second, two red clouds rose on his face: "Always letting Awei charge into battle makes me look useless."

"Who said you are useless? Tell me and I will beat him up." Yuan Buwei was the first one to disagree.

"No one said anything to me, I just..."

Lu Sui paused.

From childhood to adulthood, he has always been the object of everyone's envy and admiration, and he himself is arrogant because he has achieved many merits at a young age.

Therefore, he never knew what inferiority complex was.

But at this second, facing Yuan Buwei's eyes, he seemed to... understand it all at once.

Avi is a medical professional, has good strategy, and knows so many powerful people.

On the contrary, apart from being a young marquis, I am now still a disabled person.

The engagement that he felt was a constraint at first has now become the only bond that binds him and Avi together.

"Lu Sui, why are you suddenly silent?"
