Chapter 436: There’s Something Wrong With Su Hao’s Letter
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Although Su Hao was not eloquent, when writing letters, he was always meticulous. Su Yingxue had seen the letter he had written to Wu Jinyan before, and it was thick, spanning ten pages!
The letter he sent back this time only had these few sentences.
Su Yingxue looked at it suspiciously. “This is indeed brother’s handwriting. But why…”
Su Yingxue knew her question was inappropriate, so she didn’t ask it. She took the paper and sniffed it. There was indeed a faint fragrance on it, but she was not proficient in cosmetics and flowers, so she wasn’t as skilled as Wu Jinyan. As soon as she took it, she could smell that it was the scent of hibiscus flowers.
“The hibiscus flower is white, beautiful, and pure. It’s like a woman who has never experienced the world, as clean as a white sheet of paper. However, he knows I’ve never liked this hibiscus flower.”
Wu Jinyan lowered her head and smiled bitterly. Ever since her mother passed away, she no longer had the right to be a woman as clean as a sheet of paper.
She had to know how to survive, be resourceful, observe people’s expressions, and be careful in everything. Otherwise, if she had not been careful, she wouldn’t have endured it and lived until today.
The fragrance of Su Hao’s letter was like a thorn, piercing into her heart and pulling out a piece of flesh.
“Sister-in-law, don’t think too much. Brother is thousands of miles away from us. Perhaps there are some flowers and plants in the house. It might not be hibiscus flowers. Why are you thinking so much?”
Su Yingxue knew something was wrong, but she had no choice but to reassure Wu Jinyan. After all, Wu Jinyan and Su Hao were already engaged.
If something happened to Su Hao in Bamboo Leaf Pass…
That would be letting Wu Jinyan down!
Her mother wouldn’t be happy if she found out, and as her sister, she wouldn’t agree either!
For the sake of Su Yingxue’s comfort, Wu Jinyan also forcefully suppressed the bitterness in her heart.
But at the same time, a desperate thought sprouted in her heart.
When Su Yingxue sent Wu Jinyan back, she saw that Thousand-Jiao Pavilion wasn’t as lively as usual. There were fewer customers in the shop, and the gazes of the women who came and went didn’t seem very friendly.
She asked Wu Jinyan if anything had happened in the shop during this period.
Wu Jinyan didn’t want her to worry, so she said, “It’s just a small business matter. In two days, the store will have some new fabrics and jewelry. 1’11 use some more effort. I think the customers will be back soon.”
Su Yingxue did not say anything on the surface, but she grabbed a lady in the shop and asked.
The lady was already filled with righteous indignation. When she saw Su Yingxue asking, she poured everything out. “It’s all that Wu Ruofei’s fault. The first time she came, the boss gave her money and sent her away. She seemed to have gotten the benefits, but the boss wasn’t one to tolerate it. After she came a few times, she sent people to chase her out.
However, I didn’t expect that this woman who became a prostitute would not only abandon her body but also her last bit of face. She wore our Thousand-Jiao Pavilion’s clothes and performed a striptease in public, causing everyone to talk about it.
Many madams believed that our boss and Wu Ruofei were in cahoots, so they rarely visited. Moreover, Wu Ruofei came all day long to make a fuss.”
Su Yingxue’s eyes were suddenly filled with anger. “Wu Ruofei, she came to court death!”
Speak of the devil.
Su Yingxue had just inquired about the matter when there was a loud shout from the door, and Wu Ruofei’s voice resounded.
“Wu Jinyan, don’t you dare to come out? Are you afraid that everyone will find out that you’ve harmed your sister to such an extent that you won’t be able to face anyone?”
