Chapter 9: The Fool
When the door was reopened, there were four people in the study.
Xiao Chen, who was wearing pajamas, had slightly red cheeks, and fell silent after once again expressing his firm attitude of not agreeing to the divorce.
The girl in white only raised her head when the sun poured in, and then immediately looked down at the book in her hand, the sudden "I don't agree" was indeed silly and cute, but that's all.
Xiao Laohu's face was gloomy and terrifying, although he did not shy away from calling his son a fool in front of people, it did not mean that he could tolerate his son doing stupid things in front of people.
Only Mu Fox maintained his usual kind eyebrows, he personally pulled Xiao Chen to the side seat, shh
It would be best if young people could retreat from the difficulties.
But soon, he regretted it.
He analyzed the wrongness of this marriage contract from all angles, and reasoned about the benefits of divorce to everyone, and even ignored Xiao Laohu's dark face, and told the bitter story of unrequited love when he was young, he tried to tell Xiao Chen that letting go is also a great love.
But let him talk like spittle, and his mouth was dry.
Xiao Chen remained indifferent.
He was annoyed to find that the bastard had been staring at his daughter from the beginning, and had never taken his eyes off it.
At the end of the persuasion, he said, "Virtuous nephew, but there is a different opinion?"
Xiao Chen didn't look back, and replied, "No." ”
Mu Fox suddenly frowned, only felt that his words were not in vain, and he asked, "That virtuous nephew agreed to withdraw from the marriage?"
"Of course!"
Saying this, Xiao Chen finally turned his head, and he smiled brightly: "I don't agree!"
Of course, Xiao Chen did not agree to withdraw from the marriage.
He ran over without even changing his pajamas, and even took some extraordinary measures to get into this study, in order to keep the marriage.
Especially after seeing Mu Lengxi, who was dressed in white like an immortal, even if he put the knife on his neck, he would not agree to withdraw from the marriage.
It's just that how to convince this old fox who is helpless even the eleven giants of the council is a difficult problem.
On the way here, he learned something from Qingzhu's mouth.
For example, this old fox exposed the crimes of the prime minister three years ago, which led to the early change of prime minister. It has even more subtly intensified the contradictions between the old and new factions. He has even been involved in several of the most uproarious assassinations in recent years.
There is a cold heart hidden under the benevolent face of the fox of the Mu family.
It was ice that could not be melted in any words
"Uncle Mu, you are very reasonable. Either way, I can't argue with that. However, I can't agree to the divorce!"
Xiao Chen filled in his answer with a respectful attitude.
Mu Fox smiled slightly stiff and asked, "Why don't you agree?"
Xiao Chen glanced at the waist-length black hair of the woman in white, and said softly: "Because I love Leng Xi." ”
This is Xiao Chen's true words, decades of sharing weal and woe are enough to make him fall in love with this woman who will never abandon him.
However, none of the other three people in the study would take it seriously.
Because although these two children have known each other's existence since childhood, they also know the existence of the marriage contract. But the number of times they saw each other could be counted on one hand. They haven't even spoken a few words, how can love arise?
Mu Lengxi didn't understand the relationship between men and women, so she still just lowered her head and read a book.
Mu Fox couldn't pretend not to hear, what was going on with this bastard boy confessing in front of two adults? A fourteen-year-old kid knows what "love" is?
The biggest reaction was Xiao Laohu, who slapped the table, got up and shouted angrily: "Enough trouble, get out if you have enough!"
If he had been angry, this cowardly fool would have fled with tears in his eyes.
But he was surprised to find that today's Xiao Chen is very different.
The child, who had the impression of being extremely timid, did not show the slightest fear because of his anger, but said calmly, "Can father not hear what he did?" ”
This sentence was extremely rude, where could Xiao Laohu stand it, he was about to slap the face with red moles.
But I heard Xiao Chen say indifferently: "It's like what you've been used to in the past eight years, it's not great to treat everything as if you haven't heard or seen it?"
After all, this slap failed to pass, and Xiao Laohu heard the resentment in Xiao Chen's words. After staring at him expressionlessly for a few seconds, he sat back in silence.
Xiao Chen smiled bitterly, his resentment was naturally pretended, although he learned from Qingzhu's mouth how indifferent and ruthless Xiao Laohu had been to the dogs who had not been able to do it all these years, but after all, it was not him who really experienced this.
It's just that if this grumpy tiger doesn't keep his mouth shut, sooner or later something bad will happen. So Xiao Chen had to say something hurtful.
Ever since he learned about the divorce, he has been thinking about how to break this situation.
He is not an impulsive reckless man, and he is not a fool who can only verbally struggle.
He lived twenty-five years on earth and seventy-eight years in this world. It is equivalent to having hundreds of years of experience in dealing with people, and he is no longer a hairy boy who does things without a plan.
He didn't want to get out of the marriage, so he naturally had to find a way to break the situation.
He decided to start breaking the game, so he said: "Uncle Mu, you were talking from the beginning, you were asking, can you let me say a few words now?"
This sentence is still very rude.
But what Xiao Chen has to do is to be rude, he wants to make Mu Fox realize that it is useless to use his identity as an elder to suppress him. He wanted Mu Fox to understand that it was not a respectful junior who was talking to him at this moment.
He wanted dialogue on an equal footing.
Mu Fox's eyes grew cold, but he smiled: "It's okay to say it's okay for the virtuous nephew." ”
He wanted to hear what the bastard had to say.
"I have something to say about the reasons for your divorce. ”
Xiao Chen said solemnly: "Leng Xi cultivated the fourth order of the source at the age of fourteen, ranking first on the list of hidden dragons, and was even admitted to the Holy War Academy in advance, which can be described as the first day of the younger generation of Bei Yinguo. ”
"And I am Xiao Chen, with a broken arm and a disability, unable to repair the source and even ugly, just a waste of waste. I don't deserve Lengxi, and everyone is happy to get married. ”
"The above is Uncle Mu's reason. ”
Mu Fox was a little embarrassed, although what he said was not as straightforward and cold as Xiao Chen said, it was not much worse.
He coughed lightly and said, "Virtuous nephews don't have to be so arrogant. ”
"Of course I'm not going to be presumptuous!"
Xiao Chen chuckled and said, "I just want to tell Uncle Mu that there is actually only one reason you said in the end - it's just because I'm not worthy of Leng Xi!"
Mu Fox's eyes narrowed slightly, Xiao Chen's words were equivalent to tearing all the smoothness and breaking all the retreats, forcing him to say it to death.
In that case, what if he talks to death?
He said solemnly: "Virtuous nephew, he is indeed not worthy of a little girl." ”
When Xiao Chen heard this, his body moved forward slightly, and he couldn't wait to say: "Since I have withdrawn from the marriage, it is because I am not worthy of Leng Xi." Does that mean that if I am worthy of Leng Xi, this engagement can last?"
Mu Fox was slightly stunned, although what Xiao Chen said was crooked, it was not unreasonable, he had no choice but to frown and say: "It's okay for the virtuous nephew to understand it like this." ”
"Whew!"
Xiao Chen breathed a long sigh of relief and said, "Then, I only need to prove to you and Leng Xi that I am worthy of Leng Xi, and the divorce can be regarded as if it never happened." ”
"That being the case, I now have to tell you a fact. In fact, I'm excellent, so good that I can compare to Cold Creek!"
As soon as this statement came out, the room was shocked.
Xiao Laohu's gloomy face showed a rare surprise.
Mu Fox almost fell off the chair.
Even Mu Lengxi raised his head slightly.
Mu Fox said in a trembling voice: "Nephew Xian is joking?"
The joke went a little too far. There are not many young generations who can be compared with Mu Lengxi, and there are only two in Bei Yinguo.
"Nature is no joke. I can prove it to you now!"
Xiao Chen said, smiling confidently at the girl in white who was finally willing to look at him, with endless tenderness in her eyes.
He was hit by the "Poison of the Sealed Source", broke a hand, and his face was disfigured by dense red moles, but he was still confident that he could prove his excellence.
Because he has to prove that he is good.
"Then ask the virtuous nephew to prove it!"
Mu Fox had to pay attention to it, because Xiao Chen looked so confident, as if it was a natural thing for him to be able to compare with Leng Xi.
He's a fool if he's not hiding it all the time.
No matter which point is proved, this divorce turmoil can come to an end.
So is Xiao Chen a genius hiding clumsy or a fool fooling around?
Xiao Chen smiled: "It's easy to prove yourself, please give me time for a song." ”
Mu Fox frowned deeply, unable to figure out the meaning of Xiao Chen's witty words. Is it to show off that he can prove that he is good in just one song?
"Please give me time to sing a song and tell you how good I am. ”
Xiao Chen gave his answer.
"Flutter!"
Even Mu Lengxi couldn't hold back this time, she chuckled, hurriedly raised the book, and buried her face in it.
Sing?
This idiot, it's so stupid and cute!
