Chapter 922 - 923 Like my two nephews_1
He said that although being a runner-up in the imperial examination sounds impressive, it doesn’t justify the number of people coming to visit. There are even people coming from the prefecture. So, this is the reason.
This young man knows when to bow and when to stand tall; without waiting for his parents to react, he took a bowing step toward Luo Linhao.
"Young Master Luo, I was wrong yesterday. My words were inconsiderate, I hope you can forgive my youthful folly."
Luo Linhao narrowed his eyes and said, "That’s more like it. However, I was unhappy with your calling Yunyun a shrew yesterday!"
"Yes, I will go and apologize to Second Miss Yang right away," Li Ao continued respectfully.
"An apology to me will suffice; I will accept it on her behalf," Luo Linhao snapped his fingers with a touch of haughtiness, "A sheltered lady is not someone you can see whenever you wish."
"Yes, I was wrong to speak to Second Miss Yang that way," Li Ao lowered his head, concealing the anger in his eyes as he continued to speak.
Seeing that he had apologized, Young Master Luo did not pursue the matter any further, "At least you know what’s good for you. But your father and mother still need to apologize to Uncle and Auntie Yang. I am merely a guest in their house; don’t go pinning what I did on them."
"Yes, yes."
Then, Li Ao apparently said something to his parents because afterwards, he and his parents made multiple apologies to Yang Dachuan and Ms. Wang. In the end, after receiving a stern warning from Luo Linhao not to divulge his actions, he scurried off disheartened.
Only then did he turn to Yang Chuxia and Ye Zi’an, spreading his hands and asking, "Cousin, Sister-in-law, how is that?" He even added with some emotion, "It seems that status only has its benefits at times like these."
"Pfft..." Yang Chuxia laughed, finding the young rascal quite amusing.
"Qingrui, I am sorry about that." It was then that Luo Linhao remembered to apologize to Yang Qingrui; after all, they were classmates, "You’ve lost a classmate. But don’t feel too bad about it. I reckon he won’t hold a grudge against you. Might even show up at your door tomorrow as if nothing happened."
"No worries," Yang Qingrui smiled. "If it weren’t for this, I wouldn’t have known who truly stands with me."
"How do you know he will come back?" This piqued Ye Zi’an’s curiosity; could this youngster really have a knack for understanding people?
"Do I even need to ask? Just look at how quickly his face changed when he heard what I said, even faster than his parents." Luo Linhao twirled the eye patch in his hand and said, "Such a fair-weather friend, clearly a petty person. Besides, he just ran back to his parents after getting into a fight, just like my two little nephews who are still not weaned off milk. What a character; I don’t even deign to deal with such a person."
Yang Chuxia and Ye Zi’an exchanged glances. Damn, their two little dumplings aren’t even two months old yet, so of course, it’s normal that they haven’t been weaned.
Hearing all this, Yang Qingrui felt a bit embarrassed. This classmate he brought along, and he hadn’t even noticed these traits. He had been treating him as a friend in everyday life. It was lucky that a fight had broken out yesterday; otherwise, he might have been sold out by him someday. It seemed he needed to be more cautious in his relationships from now on.
With affairs settled at the Yang Family’s place, Yang Chuxia and Ye Zi’an went back home. Upon passing the entrance, she made a point to observe the two tables and noticed that someone at one of the tables was asleep on a chair.
Following them back, Luo Linhao also found those two tables of people odd and asked upon entering the yard, "Cousin, Sister-in-law, are those people at the two tables to the left villagers?"
"What do you think?"
