Chapter 2 - Who’s stupid

“Ou-ou-ouch!”

Due to the pill, Wang Shu recovered a little, but the young girl was so strong that no matter what he tried, he couldn’t resist. She dragged him like a dead dog to the door, and with one foot, kicked his ass down the stairs. He rolled from the top of the stairs all the way to the bottom. The pain was so much he almost fainted a second time.

“Lol, Lan Clan’s second miss starts to go ape again.”

(TLN: go ape — express wild excitement or anger)

“What a waste. I really can’t believe Wang Shu is a moron. Eldest Miss Lan is such a beautiful girl, yet this guy spends his time in those red-light districts!”

The situation gained a lot of attention. Obviously, many people recognized the two and they mumbled amongst themselves.

“La-la-la…Lan…Lan Xue?”

The pain also made Wang Shu stutter as he sat back up. Looking at the girl’s small body, her indescribable beauty, but the expression of anger as she walked towards him brought a name popping inside his head.

From his memories, Wang Shu immediately identified this girl. She turned out to be the second lady of the Lan Family, one of the four major Families of Xue Feng City. This lady had a ferocious temper and an extraordinary talent. Despite being only sixteen years old, she already reached the fourth layer of Blood Awakening. She also had another identity: his sister-in-law. Many years before, he and Lan Family’s eldest miss had been engaged and their marriage would take place when both reached adulthood.

“Trash!”

As he remembered Lan Xue’s identity, she stepped on his chest and gave him a heavy slap while she cursing him with demonic glares. The slap almost made Wang Shu throw up blood.

“Xiao Xue, what are you doing?”

Just as Lan Xue was about to give him another slap, another girl suddenly grabbed her hand, since she was unable to stand it anymore, stopping Lan Xue with teary eyes.

“Sis, why did you come? You shouldn’t have come to this place, it’s very dirty. This Wang Shu is also a trash. Not only did he worsen the reputation of General Wang, he also worsened ours. Today, I must teach him a lesson.” Realizing that the person who restrained her was her big sis, although she was still angry, she refrained herself from hitting him.

“Xiao Xue, you are a girl. How can your temper be wilder than a man? No matter what, Wang Shu still is my future…” Lan Yue pulled out a handkerchief, and lightly wiped the bruises on Wang Shu’s face. Cleary, she had a lot to say, but she stopped mid-way.

Wang Shu really wanted to hug her and plead for forgiveness, but he couldn’t. If someone knew that he was not an idiot, his life will be ten times harder not only for him, but also for the one’s dearest to him.

“Brother Wang, since you didn’t bring any money, I have some here. I’ll gladly give them to you for free if you want them.” Scheming up a cunning plan, Gao Xiang whispered to one of his underling’s before

speaking to Wang Shu.

“Thanks! Big bro Gao is such a nice person.” Wang Shu immediately replied.

His eyes sparkled when he heard Gao Xiang was going to give him free money.

Gao Xiang felt something was off. Although that is how Wang Shu acted every time, yet today, he seems a little too energetic about it. But after looking at the drooling expression Wang Shu was making, Gao Xiang’s heart eased off the feeling. The only pity was that Lan Yue had her head faced down the whole time.

Not long after, Gao Xiang’s henchmen came back with two plates: one held gold and the other held silver. Looking at the two big plates, Gao Xiang displayed a wicked smile. He decided to humiliate Wang Shu once more in front of Lan Yue: “Brother Wang, your bro here is also lacking money, so I can’t give you all of it. You can pick from one of the plates here.”

The crowd was taken aback as they didn’t understand what Gao Xiang was planning. Why do you need to choose? Both plates have the same amount. Unless you’re an idiot, anyone knows that the value of gold is more than the silver on the same weight.

Wang Shu paused for a brief moment, but he quickly recovered. Covering his face with an idiotic smile, he went and pick out of the plates.

“Haha, looks like he really is stupid.”

“I can’t hold it anymore; my cheeks are hurting!”

“Ugh, what kind of misfortune did the Wang Family inherit. For the Great General Wang to have a stupid son like this!’

As everyone realized what Gao Xiang did, they burst in laughter.

“Hehe. Hehe!”

Wang Shu also pretended to laugh.

“Haha, Brother Wang is a smart person. Hey, you there, pack all these gold and silver in a bag and hand them over to Brother Wang,” Gao Xiang said while holding his stomach due to excessive laughter. He ordered his underlings to pack the gold and silver for Wang Shu.

“Wow, it’s quite heavy! Thank you Big bro Gao, thank you!” As Wang Shu received the money, he acted like it was too heavy to carry. Under the company of Lan Yue, they prepared to head back.

By giving Lan Yue a meaningful gaze, Gao Xiang said: “Hehe, you don’t have to pay me back. I will like to pay Brother Wang a visit when I have the time.”

What Gao Xiang didn’t realize when Wang Shu had stepped outside, was that when Wang Shu turned his body, his mouth moved a little, as if he was saying the word ‘moron’.
