Chapter 1962 - 136: Second Elder Summons
Suddenly remembering the taciturn, expressionless fourth brother, Yue Ning felt a sudden sense of comfort.
In this respect, the fourth brother was just like him, clumsy and awkward. In fact, he might even be a bit worse than himself.
Yue Ning found joy amidst the frustration, feeling delight in his heart, with the similarly clumsy fourth brother accompanying him, he suddenly felt at ease and gradually became happy.
Just at that moment.
A servant rushed in: "Young Master, the Second Elder has requested you to come over."
Yue Ning put the needlework into the basket.
"Second Elder?"
An eyebrow raised: "I’m not going!"
He even twisted his body, turning sideways to the servant who came to invite him.
The servant looked speechless.
Yue Ning had lived in the Qin family for quite a while, and the servants there more or less understood his temperament, knowing his rough and irritable nature, not giving face to anyone, which in some ways could be called quite wilful.
"Young Master, please don’t make things difficult for us errand runners, the Second Elder asked for you, even if you don’t want to go, you still have to go."
The servant acted as if speaking earnestly, yet Yue Ning sneered, "Don’t think I’m unaware, every single one of you, without exception, none of you truly regard me, all treating me like a fool."
He chuckled again.
"Do you really think I’m a monkey? Here to prance around, playing monkey tricks for you to watch?"
Inwardly, the servant disagreed, yet outwardly showed a respectful demeanor, pressing hands together, pleading with Yue Ning.
"Young Master, how dare little me disrespect you? You’re the young master of our Qin family, anyone who dares look down upon you is opposing our entire Qin family! Haven’t you misunderstood something? Please calm down, hurry and go to the Second Elder."
In the end, it came back to the Second Elder.
Yue Ning looked impatient.
"Why is this so troublesome?"
He ran his fingers through his hair, then put on a fierce expression and said, "Alright then, I really want to see what tricks that old vegetable is trying to pull!"
He angrily stood up, heavily placing the needlework basket on the chair, fiercely saying to the servant, "Why are you still dazing around? Hurry up, lead the way!"
The servant made a smiling face and turned to walk ahead.
Yue Ning followed behind the servant, heading towards the Second Elder.
Along the way, he glimpsed some sceneries, landscaped gardens, the scenes were quite good. But Yue Ning could not appreciate them, or perhaps he was tired of looking.
He felt that this Qin family wasn’t a place for people to stay, way too boring. If it weren’t for Little Liu’s bigger plan, he would have fled far away long ago.
Day by day, with nothing to do, strolling the streets, lacking any excitement, done it a few times and got bored.
Besides, he wasn’t like the vain third brother, not that obsessed with beauty like him, even if he did go wandering the streets, he didn’t know what to buy, nothing to make a purchase for.
He actually preferred hunting in the mountains, even if it meant returning to the tough and simple life back in Kaoshan Village, that would be a hundred times better than this so-called life of luxury.
Riches, he felt like he was a golden canary kept in a cage.
Ah!
Little Liu, oh Little Liu, you’ve really put your Fifth Brother in a tough spot. When are you ever going to be ready to come and take me away?
Yue Ning felt that day by day, he was living like he was in prison.
...
In the Conference hall.
The Second Elder was eating snacks, drinking tea, looking particularly calm and composed, serenely waiting for Yue Ning’s arrival.
