Chapter 80: Her True Colors
They rarely had the chance to gather with Big Brother. What was the urgent matter that caused Third Elder Brother to want to leave so impatiently?
Ye Lanchen stopped in his tracks and turned to them. With a serious tone and a straight face, he declared, “I got married today.”
“What? Third Elder Brother, what did you say?” Fifth Young Master Shen and Fourth Young Master Xi cried out almost simultaneously as they stared at the other man in skepticism. In that instant, both of them suspected if they had misheard the words that entered their ears.
Even Boss Tang who was normally cool-headed appeared dumbfounded.
“I got married today.” Ye Lanchen who was extraordinarily patient today repeated himself.
“Third Elder Brother, are you messing with us?” These men finally came to realize Ye Lanchen was not pulling their legs.
“Yes,” Ye Lanchen replied and left, leaving the rest of them in shock.
“Wow, our Third Elder Brother is married? Seriously?” Fifth Young Master Shen who finally regained his composure flinched. He could not believe his ears when he was told the exciting news.
“I think he wasn’t kidding.” Fourth Young Master Xi’s voice dragged on. He seemed to still be dazed.
This news had completely caught them by surprise.
“Is Third Elder Brother’s eagerness to return home fueled by the purpose of invading the bridal chamber?” Fifth Young Master Shen’s lips twitched at the thought of his brother’s enthusiasm.
“Third Elder Brother is married? To whom?” Fourth Young Master Xi finally asked the rational question. “He doesn’t even have a girlfriend, to begin with.”
Fifth Young Master Shen was stunned for a couple of seconds and his lips trembled slightly when he spoke. “Could… Could it be that woman?”
“Which woman?” Fourth Young Master Xi was extremely curious.
“No, no way. That’s impossible. Even if the Third Elder Brother is suspicious of her, he wouldn’t marry her purely for that reason.” Fifth Young Master Shen shook his head continuously and his face was washed over with disbelief. He was not convinced that his Third Elder Brother would marry that woman.
“F*ck me. It’s Chu Wuyou.” Fifth Young Master Shen almost jumped from his seat when his doubt was confirmed.
Boss Tang suddenly raised his head to regard Fifth Young Master Shen. There was a slight change of emotion displayed on the former’s face.
“Chu Wuyou?” On the other hand, Fourth Young Master Xi was completely baffled. “Which Chu Wuyou? How come this is the first I’ve heard of her?”
“First Young Lady Chu of the Chu family, the one that’s rumored to be hideous and stupid.” Fifth Young Master Shen who had not yet recovered from the bombshell did not know how else to explain the situation properly.
“Third Elder Brother’s got a unique taste.” Fourth Young Master Xi uttered slowly after a long break of silence.
Ye Lanchen tiptoed around quietly when he returned to the villa. He crept upstairs to Chu Wuyou’s room and knocked on the door but there was no response.
With brows slightly knitted, Ye Lanchen wondered if she was already asleep. However, he suspected that she would have a difficult time sleeping tonight.
He reached out to twist the doorknob and was surprised to find the door unlocked.
Chu Wuyou did not think much about locking the door. She had already gotten married to Ye Lanchen and was now living in his villa. Could a mere lock stop him from mistreating her if he insisted?
If Ye Lanchen had indeed married her for other reasons, then her hiding would undoubtedly arouse suspicions.
Ye Lanchen pushed the door open and entered the room. A night light was still lit and the soft light illuminated the face of that woman who was sound asleep.
He was taken aback by his discovery and thought this woman was really bold.
Ye Lanchen remembered the taxi driver from five years ago mentioned that the beautiful woman had skin as smooth as a flawless jade.
He studied the freckles on her face intently. Then, retrieved the chemical obtained from his Big Brother earlier and rubbed it on Chu Wuyou’s face using his palm.
This was a special type of chemical that could remove any sort of disguise applied on the face. Soon, her true colors would be revealed.
