Chapter 167: Confrontation (1)

“Fang Zhou, look at you! Young Master Cui is a distinguished guest, look at how you are treating him! And using this kind of tea, too!” Without waiting for Cui Shao Xi to speak, Lian Li turned and scolded Lian Fang Zhou. He turned to Cui Shao Xi with a smile, “Young Master Cui, the younger generation is not sensible! Please don’t mind her! Why don’t you come to my house, I have good tea there! Young Master Cui, come have a cup of tea and we can have a good chat. Fang Zhou, you come too!”

This last sentence made things very clear.

If it wasn’t for the important matters that needed to be explained to Lian Fang Zhou in person, Lian Li would definitely not invite her.

“I think this tea is good. It is quite good to my tastes! If you have something to say, just say it here!” Cui Shao Xi said, snorting. He did not move.

When Lian Li saw Cui Shao Xi’s attitude, his heart fell. He couldn’t help but give Lian Fang Zhou a blank look. Then he laughed and invited again, “Our house is much bigger than here and its cleaner and warmer! How could a distinguished guest like Young Master Cui not feel wronged? Please come, we will definitely entertain Young Master Cui!”

“What a lofty tone!” Cui Yi sneered coldly, his voice energetic. “Are you saying that you will be wronged if you can’t entertain my master in your house? Haha, is there something precious about your family house? It’s just a country house, I’m afraid I won’t be able to not laugh when you say this!”

Lian Li flushed immediately and forced himself to smile reluctantly, saying, “This little brother is joking! I, I am not speaking nonsense! Our family house is much better than here!”

“This master is not happy!” Cui Shao Xi’s elegantly curved chin raised slightly and he said proudly, “This master is not willing to go! This master is happy to be here, okay!”

Hearing these words, Lian Ze felt very satisfied, with a huge grin on his face. His affection for Cui Shao Xi suddenly doubled. Lian Fang Zhou glanced at Lian Li, who’s face looked like it was suffocating, and was secretly amused.

She was afraid that her uncle had never imagined that Cui Shao Xi would be such a temperamental person!

Lian Li had not expected this, so he stood there with a purple face, at a loss.

“If you are finished, then go!” Cui Shao Xi felt that Lian Li was very hateful and had no vision at all.

“Young Master Cui, you have been wronged!” Lian Li finally burst out, pointing to Lian Fang Zhou with a sour expression. “Young Master Cui, did the Lian brother and sister tell you something? You were not like this last time! Ah, Young Master Cui, don’t listen to their lies! These two, alas, have never seen me as their uncle! Blaming me for not taking care of them every day! But isn’t it that I also have problems to deal with? You, talk about being a junior, how come you are not considerate at all!”

Lian Li sighed as he spoke, his tone both serious and earnest. Hearing this, Lian Fang Zhou felt nauseated and Lian Ze was furious.

“Uncle! Don’t you dare turn black to white in front of us! Are you still human? Don’t you have any shame?”

“Ah Ze, even if you blame eldest uncle, eldest uncle will recognize it! But how can you say this? We are a family after all!” Lian Li sighed again, looking at Cui Shao Xi meaningfully. His words were self-explanatory: Look at how these siblings treat this elder! Look at their attitude!

 “You!” Lian Ze stared furiously. Lian Fang Zhou coughed lightly, motioning for him to sit still. Lian Ze grunted and turned his head away.

Cui Shao Xi laughed and raised his eyebrows: “Come on, are you a fool? Anyone could tell if these words are true or fake? You can find out just by asking around! If you’ve lied, then you have tried to deceive this lord. I find the most annoying thing in life is being deceived! This master will be angry if you’ve lied and once this master is angry, it is not easy to be calm— do you still dare to say this is true?”

Cui Shao Xi looked straight at Lian Li with a pair of star-like peach eyes. He was smiling faintly but his eyes were cold.

When he saw this, Lian Li was subconsciously vague, unable to avoid his eyes.

Cui Shao Xi snorted heavily.

Lian Fang Zhou said coldly, “Uncle, do you like to talk badly about people behind their backs like Aunt? Since Young Master Cui doesn’t want to go with you, then just leave him be! If you have something to say, then say it!”

Lian Li glanced at Lian Fang Zhou, thinking: would you be so kind? You are saying I must have prepared something in advance…

But even if he thought this in his heart, Lian Li couldn’t avoid saying something.

He knew that if he didn’t bring this matter up now, there would be no opportunity to say it in the future! Cui Shao Xi obviously would not go to his house and god only knew how long he would stay here for.

Lian Li had a serious expression and said, “Young Master Cui is a fair and just person. Since I have said it before, it doesn’t matter if I repeat it! It is good to be clear about this so that Fang Zhou will finally be convinced!”

Finished speaking, he looked at Cui Shao Xi expectantly.

Cui Shao Xi gave Lian Fang Zhou an apologetic look.

Because it was clear that Lian Li really had misunderstood him!

He had wanted to say that growing cotton had nothing to do with the Su family and that Lian Fang Zhou had only borrowed the money but now he understood that if he said this, Lian Fang Zhou would not be able to take advantage of the Su family over this matter and it would likely cause more trouble in the future.

Because of this, he was even more annoyed with himself. The more you want something to be simple, the more complicated it gets!

But who was Cui Shao Xi? There was nothing too difficult for him in this world!

Turning his handsome face, he snorted and said, “You old man, you are so unaware of things! When did I say that I would leave this to you? You said you wanted to help and I thought you meant that you would discuss it with Fang Zhou, but who told you to take a chicken feather as an arrow? Fang Zhou is not willing so please put the matter to rest and stop thinking about it!”

Lian Li stumbled backwards, his face blue and white, pale and purple. “No, no! You clearly said at the time—”

“What? What I said, do I need you to remind me? Are you saying that I am forgetful?” Cui Shao Xi’s face sank.

“No, no!” Lian Li panicked, forcing his anger down to smile: “But Young Master Cui, please listen to me first and see if what I say makes sense! Such a big thing to give to a little girl, how could she do it well? First, it is inconvenient and second, she is inexperienced and naïve! Third, she is so busy, taking care of her younger siblings! I am different, I—!”

“I am satisfied!” Cui Shao Xi sneered, saying simply: “The Su family left this matter to Fang Zhou, and you? Are you the new master of the Su family? Why don’t you go to the Su mansion yourself! Oh, by the way, I will have to say hello to my cousin and sister-in-law when I go back to visit. I will be sure to tell him to be careful and not to be fooled!”

Lian Li’s forehead was dizzy, and he collapsed with anger.

TN: To be honest, even though CSX is a bit blond, realistically, not many people can deal with someone who’s head was so far up their own ass as Lian Li…
