" I apologise, he is still a child and cannot read the room well," Su Qian looked at the crowd which was glaring at Su Qingzhao and their group for not reading the room and then dragged her nephew away from the crowd without giving a chance to Su Qingzhao to pull away or say anything, it wasn't until she reached her and Ma Jiu's room, did she let go of Su Qingzhao who was wincing in pain.
She pushed Su Qingzhao into the room and then demanded in an angry voice, " What is the matter with you? Can you not use your head for once? The crew of this ship vanished, we all are stranded here and you are acting like a douchebag in front of everyone! Can you not see that every passenger on this cruise is either in panic or anxious!"
"What did I do wrong, aunt? You are making a mountain out of a mole hill, what I said was the truth, they are simply playing a prank and nothing else... I am sure the second we go to the island, the crew of this cruise will show themselves up with a big board that says 'Haha you were pranked!' I am only telling them what is happening! What's wrong with that?" Su Qingzhao argued.
But when he saw that his aunt was still looking at him with dissatisfaction, he rolled his eyes and then said, " Fine, I will go to that island and bring the damn captain with me, this way you will see that I was right and you all were overreacting."
As he spoke he turned on his heel causing Su Qian to catch his wrist as she pulled him back and then asked in a trembling voice, " What did you say? You are going to that island?"
" Isn't that why we are on this cruise?" Su Qingzhao was a young man of eighteen years, with his young blood pumping in his veins he was not worried about anything not even of the unknown which he was yet to see.
When he saw the worried and anxious looks on the faces of the four women, he could not help but laugh, " Oh come on, are you scared of something so small? Like chill aunties, this is nothing just a small joke on the part of the cruise crew. All right? It is not like there is a monster hiding on the island that will kill us as soon as he looks at us. Ahahaha."
Su Qingzhao did not take the matter of the cruise disappearance seriously, in his eyes, this was nothing but a poor prank which was being played on them and the adults around him were disappointed since they believed in something so stupid.
" If you are scared then stay inside, I will sign for a small motorboat and then take it away to the island before bringing that damned captain back once he is back you are free to scold him as you want, so Auntie, relax you have nothing to worry about," Su Qingzhao waved his hand as he spoke before heading out of the room, Su Qian went to stop him but Yang Yiling caught her wrist as she pulled her back.
Stunned, Su Qian turned to look at Yang Yiling who was standing behind her with an ugly expression and couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong? Why did you stop me?"
" Because I know that nephew of yours is not going to listen to you, did you not see? Every time he spoke, he glanced at that woman called Huo Lan and flexed his muscles which are close to non-existent," Yang Yiling huffed in anger as she crossed her arms. " That kid is smitten with that girl, even if you threaten him with your life, he will not listen to you and think that you are only making trouble for him and nothing else."
While Su Qian was speaking to Su Qingzhao, Yang Yiling was paying attention to the brat who kept glancing at Huo Lan who in turn shot him admiration-filled glances.
Su Qian was speechless, she was indeed too agitated to worry about where Su Qingzhao was looking but now that she knew that this nephew of hers was actually so deep in trouble, she could not help but rub her forehead.
" What should we do now ?" She asked Yang Yiling and the others, if she was planning of taking the motor boat and drive back to the city, even if she could not govern a cruise, she could drive a motor boat!
But with Su Qingzhao acting like this, she could not just leave him alone, right?
Even Ma Jiu was annoyed, that brat Luo Shan was also very stubborn when it came to Huo Lan, even though she had told him many times not to get closer to that girl who was beneath him, that nephew of hers did not hear a thing that came out of her mouth.
" That girl wants to bring your nephew to the island," Rong Si suddenly spoke up as she rubbed her beads on her wrist, though she was not a celestial master, she could sense that there was something very wrong with Huo Lan who continued to egg Su Qingzhao.
It was as if she was deliberately making sure that Su Qian's nephew would go down to the island with her, which was confusing but at the same time looking at the current circumstances, Rong Si knew that the girl named Huo Lan definitely had a sinister intentions.
When Su Qian heard Rong Si's words, she also had to admit that the latter was right, in fact, she too felt that Huo Lan's intentions were not good but she had watched Huo Lan grow up in front of her which was why she did not want to think that the girl who was once so kind and generous would one day backstab the Su family like this.
" So are we going down?" Ma Jiu asked.
" We have no other choice, do we?"
