Love letters are not allowed in the exorcism notebook!-Chapter 489 - 67: How Can You Repay Kindness with Resentment

After Wang Yunxiao and Li Mumu left, He Lan hugged the blanket and sat on the bed, staring blankly at the ceiling.

First Ms. Liu walked in with a bowl of porridge and couldn’t help but scold, "Obsessing over men has driven you crazy, hasn’t it?"

He Lan bit her lip and stayed silent.

First Ms. Liu sat in front of her, took the spoon, blew on it, and said softly, "Back in the countryside, we couldn’t compare to this big city. Country folks are simple-minded, you could make those silly boys lose their sense of direction with just a flick of your finger."

"It’s different in the big city, where people have broader horizons, having seen and eaten much. There are many good men here, and many good women too. Your mother’s little tricks are nothing but a toy in their eyes. If you can’t wrap your head around it, you might as well go back to Cangzhou with mom early. It would save you the frustration of constantly being upset here, possibly frustrating yourself to death."

He Lan pouted and said resentfully, "I wasn’t thinking of climbing high branches, but none of the things you taught me work, not even on Junior Martial Uncle. What use are they?"

First Ms. Liu scoffed, "Do you really think he’s just anyone? Without tremendous courage, would he dare to have anything to do with the Imperial Jade Seal? Swallow Sect may not be famous in the Jianghu World because they choose to keep a low profile, but things that old wreck did in his youth would scare you to death. Your mom had to use countless tricks to snag your dad, otherwise, with my faded beauty, no one would even take a second look at me..."

"But on another note, you silly girl, you haven’t really fallen for him, have you?"

He Lan looked on blankly, unwilling to speak.

First Ms. Liu snorted coldly, "Mom’s told you since you were little, a girl’s most precious possession is her chastity. With it, you’re still someone; without it, no one will take you seriously. I didn’t have the opportunities you do now, and I just muddled through life."

"Now it’s different for you. If there’s a man you really like, then we should seriously consider marriage, but don’t get carried away and lose your chastity in the process, ending up empty-handed!"

He Lan gritted her teeth and said, "That Doctor Li is definitely having an affair with Junior Martial Uncle! I can tell by the way she looks at me!"

"What else do you expect? Do you think good men worldwide are waiting for you to pick and choose? Even men don’t dare dream of such good fortune, and yet you dare!"

First Ms. Liu rolled her eyes, "Of course, good men and good women are already taken. You don’t even take a good look at yourself. Do you really think you’re some fine lady or rich miss? If you don’t fight for it yourself, not even scraps will come your way!"

"But the tricks you taught me don’t work; Junior Martial Uncle doesn’t even care about me..."

"Nonsense, would I teach you real tricks to hook up with random men outside?"

"What?"

He Lan looked at her mother in shock, "You played along with dad for over a decade, and even the tricks you taught me aren’t real? Am I even your biological child?"

First Ms. Liu spoke seriously, "You were young before; what was the use of teaching you those things? If you really crippled a man with those tricks, and he came to our door asking to marry you, should I agree or not?"

"I’m not young anymore! That Doctor Li deliberately asked my age, she must be laughing at me in her heart, thinking I’m an old maid who can’t get married!"

He Lan clenched her teeth.

"So are you just trying to compete with other women for a toy, or do you seriously want to get married? Think it through, a woman only gets one shot in life, miss it and you won’t turn things around."

Mother and daughter exchanged glances, and He Lan was the first to relent.

"Why can Junior Martial Uncle only be married and not played with?"

"What do you have to play with him?"

First Ms. Liu sneered, "Are those two pounds of flesh on your chest worth the Imperial Jade Seal?"

He Lan gritted her teeth and said, "Mom, teach me some real tricks, let me try. If he really doesn’t have any feelings for me, I’ll give up!"

......

"Did you eat their rouge?"

On the way back, Li Mumu covered her nose and moved a few steps away from Wang Yunxiao, her face full of disdain.

This merchandise is already dirty, not wanted anymore. 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦

Wang Yunxiao felt helpless, He Lan’s tactics were indeed childish. In some sense, they were no different from a puppy lifting its leg to mark its territory.

But even though she knew, Eldest Miss Li was still very annoyed.

Her gaze towards him also had a mix of three parts ferocity, three parts disdain, and four parts aversion.

"I’m going to take a bath when I get back!"

"Forget it, if you ask me, you should keep that outfit and wear it again next time you visit your Junior Martial Niece. It’ll save people from wild speculations."

Li Mumu spoke in a mocking tone.

"But honestly speaking, your Junior Martial Niece does look quite appealing. Haven’t you ever considered her?"

"No."

"You’re not honest!"

"Alright, maybe a little."

"You really have, huh!"

Wang Yunxiao was exasperated, "Li Mumu, what exactly do you want?"

Li Mumu glanced at him sideways, "I just went through all that effort to save your Junior Martial Niece, and I can’t even tease you a bit?"

"Fine!"

Wang Yunxiao took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down.

Doctor Li is awesome, Doctor Li is amazing, whatever you say goes, today I’ll tolerate you.

Li Mumu coughed and then asked seriously, "Jokes aside, let’s talk about something serious. I see your Junior Martial Niece isn’t that young, and she seems to have a bit of interest in you. Have you ever considered deepening the relationship?"

Wang Yunxiao said speechlessly, "Actually, I’m not that close with her. If you think she’s interested in me, that’s your misunderstanding."

She’s trained from a young age in these techniques, verbal seduction coupled with physical ambiguity, making men develop unrealistic fantasies... it would be the same with any other man.

But considering He Lan’s reputation, it really wasn’t appropriate for Wang Yunxiao to explain in detail to Li Mumu.

"You still don’t understand girls well enough."

Li Mumu clucked his tongue, "If she wasn’t really interested in you, she wouldn’t use such a childish method to assert her ownership."

Spare tires and pathetic sycophants don’t get this treatment, a smile is lucky enough for them.

"I’ve never considered it."

Wang Yunxiao was stubborn.

Li Mumu smiled, "Are you really not considering it? Her parents seem quite wealthy, they can even afford mutton-fat jade. If you married into her family... or if you married her, then you’d never worry about food and drink for the rest of your life."

"Isn’t your family even wealthier?"

"Huh?"

Li Mumu suddenly stopped walking and looked at Wang Yunxiao, "What did you say?"

Wang Yunxiao said seriously, "Eldest Miss Li, my senior brother just runs a donkey meat restaurant, while your dad is a big real estate tycoon! Even if I wanted to marry into a family, I should be considering you first, right?"

"Huh?"

Li Mumu was startled, "Wang, how can you turn kindness into enmity like this?"
