Chapter 1543 “The Wen Clan’s Here (2)”
“Furen!” Tian Wind quickly grabs hold of his daughter’s arm and drag hers behind his back, “Little Young Master, you have to forgive my daughter, but can you give me a reason for changing my brother-in-law out?”
How can he just so casually say its because he doesn’t like the guy?
Making a yawn as he lazily stretched those arms, Bai Xiachen didn’t reply and instead turns to his own bodyguard: “Big Bear, remove them from my sight, I want to rest now. Do not disturb me unless I call for you.”
“Yes, sir.” The one with the nickname promptly stepped up like a huge mountain that he was, blocking off the path for any chance of retaliation from these unwanted guests.
Then again, the precautionary step was unwarranted here today. Tian Wind never even thought about hitting the steambun, let alone retaliate. In fact, he’s so scared of being thrown out by the big guy that he actually launched himself out the door on his own and disappeared from the corridor.
And so, that’s how the Tian Clan had their first bout with the naughty steambun.
“Dad, this little brat is too much. It’s bad enough that he thought about matching me with a dog, now he even called to demote Uncle from his post? Based on what can he do that?” Tian Furen unhappily stomps her feet after leaving the hotel, her eyes glaring with indignation at the glassy walls of the structure.
“Furen, do you now know the benefits of having power?” Tian Wind also follows his daughter’s gaze and glared up to the glass windows that blocked off his view from Bai Xiachen’s room, “If you can become the Water Clan’s woman then our family won’t have to worry about this happening again. Please Sweetie, I’m not trying to force you into a marriage, but our family only reached this stage thanks to your uncle’s position. Now that he’s unable to shield us anymore, what do you think the other clans would do if they ever figured out your uncle’s gone?”
Tian Furen got what her dad was implying, but just thinking about how she’s going to one day marry a medicine pot that might die anytime was sickening to her own heart.
“Dad… why did the brat target our family? We never offended him in anyway did we?”
“Silly daughter,” the man sighs at those innocent words, “did you not see how cunning that kid was? He saw through our plan from the very beginning, meaning his mother must’ve taught him about these power struggles from an early age. That woman is not a simple one….”
The boy’s mother will be difficult to deal with if Furen is ever to be at the young lord’s side. She will do anything to remove us from the picture, and before then I need to find out more on who this person is. The only one that can be the next chief’s wife is my daughter, and if not, Furen must at least be the guy’s secret lover….
Tian Furen didn’t say more as she hung her head in contemplation. She’s still struggling on selling her own happiness out for power, but that deliberately soon started to waver towards giving in once Bai Xiachen’s arrogant face popped up in her mind. Her hands had clenched up into a ball of frustration.
Am I really going to have to do this? Do I really have to sell my own body out in order to gain power? Am I that much of a disgusting character, willing to become a brat’s stepmother?
“Furen, you need to understand the situation you are in right now. That child in there is the young lord’s son. Even if his mother can’t marry into the Water Clan, she’s still the boy’s mother. No matter what happens, a child wouldn’t want someone else being their stepmother when his own remains. Know this, you are going to face hostility no matter the choice you make, that’s a fact.” After saying that, the man ticks his lips upward into a smirk like the obstacle was no problem.
“Dad, please don’t say anymore.” Furen’s brain remains very messy and needed time to gather her thoughts, “Tomorrow, I’ll give you a proper answer tomorrow…”
……
After leaving the hotel, Tian Wind didn’t go anywhere else, only having the driver bring them back to their home. However, before the pair could even make it one step into the front door, the lady of the house had already come storming out of the front with a anxious face.
