Chapter 163. Working Together to Forge Connections
Cough, cough, cough...
After a thunderous bout of coughing, Shuzhen, who had been cherished by her two brothers all her life, rarely received a slightly reproachful look from her eldest brother.
Shuzhen, who was busy pouring water and patting his back, lowered her head, her voice carrying a hint of breathlessness: "I’m sorry, eldest brother, I asked too abruptly and scared you."
Liu Shouren frowned helplessly: "Is that the main issue? The main issue is that you shouldn’t say everything without thinking, you know. In this day and age, a girl’s reputation is a critical matter! If your words spread outside and cause trouble for Yinghong’s marriage, whether Uncle Wu and Yinghong will hold you responsible is one thing, but first of all, your own conscience won’t be clear, right!
Be cautious with your words and actions, especially in these times and under these circumstances. Weren’t you the one who repeated this advice to your second brother and me? How could you forget it yourself?
Besides..."
"Besides I think my wife is quite right, she considered it thoroughly. Not to mention that Wu Yinghong yesterday almost couldn’t stop talking about you, eldest brother, her voice was soft enough to drip water, and her eyes and brows carried a hint of affection. Clearly, she has feelings for you and is planning to approach you through Shuzhen, using an indirect approach.
Let’s talk about our house here, you, me, Shuzhen, and Second Aunt, there’s not a single person who doesn’t know discretion. Eldest brother, your concern about this spreading outside is simply unfounded!" Ever since his wife joked about saving the galaxy in a past life to be blessed with such good brothers in this one, Lianshan couldn’t help but feel a bit jealous. Especially since his eldest brother didn’t even realize his good fortune and was nitpicking words that clearly showed care from his wife.
Criticizing his precious wife in front of him, Lianshan thought if he could tolerate even this, what was the point of being known as B University’s most wife-doting alum?
So he retorted decisively with reason and logic.
