RPAGF Chapter 55 Sibling Battle
Chapter 55 Sibling Battle
The butler, with a pained expression, dared not say no, and tried to persuade the young lady to give up the idea by using the reality of the situation.
"Young Miss, the buying and selling of maids is always a cash-on-delivery transaction, this..."
Bai Xiuzhu then realized that her brother didn't give her much pocket money, and she wasn't good at saving money, so she couldn't just sell her jewelry, could she?
But Miss Bai is not the type to give up easily, so it's impossible to make her give up the idea.
"You're just stammering, aren't you? You just want money! Come and call me after those annoying old men leave."
After saying that, he put on his sunglasses again and lay back on the wrought iron deck chair to sunbathe.
This time, however, his eyes darted around behind his sunglasses, clearly indicating that he was not as calm as before.
Falling in love with a philandering bad man is really exhausting!
The long and tedious banquet finally ended around 10 p.m.
Bai Xiuzhu, carrying a cup of black tea, obediently approached Bai Xiongqi, who was sitting on the sofa, and said sweetly:
"Bro, your head hurts from drinking, right? Let me give you a good massage!"
He then stood behind the sofa and gently massaged Bai Xiongqi's temples with his middle and index fingers.
"Hmm...not bad!"
Bai Xiongqi was indeed exhausted after a day of socializing. He leaned comfortably on the sofa, and his younger sister, unusually sensible, was about to close her eyes and relax.
Out of the corner of his eye, he caught sight of the butler standing to the side and realized something was wrong, so he immediately straightened up.
The little girl is definitely up to something, and it's 100% related to that letter!
"Speak, is there something you want from me?"
"Hehe~ Brother, you're amazing! I knew I couldn't hide anything from you!"
"Stop trying to sweet-talk me, just say what you need to say!"
"Yes! Brother is the best, give me 2000 yuan!"
Bai Xiongqi stood up, turned his head, and looked at his sister with a surprised expression.
"Didn't I just give you 500 yuan for pocket money the day before yesterday? What do you need so much money for?"
Could it be that he's going to go find that brat named Lu Xingzhou?!
[Remember the fastest online novel website: 20 ...
"It's just that there's not enough money!"
Bai Xiuzhu was clearly not good at lying, and Bai Xiongqi saw through her guilty expression at a glance. He turned to look at the butler.
"What exactly happened?"
The housekeeper simply sold Bai Xiuzhu out.
"It's like this, young master. The young lady said she wants me to go to the West Market Archway and buy a Silla maid for 2000 silver dollars."
Bai Xiuzhu glared angrily at the butler: "Uncle Fu, what are you doing...?"
The housekeeper pretended to be guilty and turned his head away, not daring to look at her. Bai Xiongqi, however, felt relieved, as long as she wasn't going to see some other man.
And with one sentence, he hit the nail on the head: "A Silla maid costing 2000 silver dollars?! She wasn't bought for herself, was she?"
Bai Xiuzhu gave up entirely.
"Yes, it's not easy for Xingzhou's younger brother, who lives all alone in the harsh, cold land of Guandong. I think it's perfectly normal for me to want to buy him a maid to take care of him!"
"Normal? Hahaha~ You call this normal!!!!"
Bai Xiongqi was so angry he laughed, but his heart ached terribly.
Even he, as the older brother, has never enjoyed such expensive maids. And a girl's extroversion shouldn't be this extreme!
"Forget about it, go upstairs to sleep!"
He didn't stop the butler from delivering the letter today, not because he agreed to their relationship, but because he wanted to use it to reject the one he looked down on even more.
She's something else; she just wants to exchange a cup of tea and a few pats on the head for 2000 silver dollars.
Buying maids for random men? Keep dreaming!
Bai Xiuzhu's eyes immediately welled up with tears: "Brother, how could you do this!"
"I'm your older brother, why can't I?! Uncle Fu, take Miss upstairs to rest!"
"Yes, young master!"
After the butler answered, he walked towards Bai Xiuzhu, naturally revealing the suitcase that he had been hiding.
Bai Xiongqi immediately tensed up upon seeing this:
"Wait, what is this? What does it mean?"
The butler looked distressed and conflicted, seemingly wanting to say something but holding back, which infuriated Bai Xiongqi.
"Say it!"
Bai Xiuzhu stepped in front of him.
"Don't be embarrassed, Uncle Fu. What else could it be but my suitcase?"
Feeling a throbbing pain in his head, Bai Xiongqi rubbed his forehead with one hand: "What do you mean by this?"
"It's simple. If you won't let me buy a maid for Xingzhou, I'll just take care of him myself! From now on, the Bai family will belong to you alone, and no one will share the inheritance with you. Are you happy now?!"
Even though he had mentally prepared himself, Bai Xiongqi still felt dizzy and disoriented.
If that wild man were in front of him, he would definitely pull out his gun and riddle him with bullets!
However: "If you put it that way, I think that boy is indeed quite pitiful. Buying one maid probably wouldn't be enough, Uncle Fu!"
"Hey~ Young Master, I'm here."
"Quickly go to the accounting office and withdraw 4000 silver dollars to buy that brat two of the best Silla maids!!"
Even when he spoke the most cowardly words in the most vicious tone, Bai Xiongqi felt like a complete waste.
But what can be done? We can't really let my sister elope to Northeast China.
I've heard that bandits roam that area. What if my sister secretly runs off there and something happens to her? I'd be so sorry to our parents in heaven!
The plan was a great success!
Bai Xiuzhu winked playfully at Uncle Fu, signaling him to quickly take the empty box and go to the accounting office to collect the silver dollars.
Then she obediently wrapped her arms around Bai Xiongqi's neck, shaking him and acting coquettishly:
"Thank you, brother! I knew you were the best to me!"
"No, stop shaking, I need to calm down."
Bai Xiongqi could already foresee that his unfortunate days were yet to come.
This drafty little cotton-padded jacket is something you have to experience to know how good it is!
Northeast China, at the source of the Liao River.
After breakfast, Lu Xingzhou put on a suit that Lin Fengyi had sewn by hand, with Lin Fengyi's help.
The buttons were all taken from the broken suit. Apart from the different material, they were exactly the same as the one he originally bought in the United States. Lin Fengyi's needlework was indeed superb.
Looking in the mirror: "Great, it fits perfectly!"
Lin Fengyi was overjoyed to receive approval: "I'm glad you're satisfied, Your Excellency!"
"If I get bored while I'm away, I'll go for a walk along the Xiliao River near the Water Cat's Nest. But I must not go too far away."
"With so many big and small matters to manage in this community, I'm bound to get bored!"
She was telling the truth; besides Zhu Kaishan, the head of the village, Lin Fengyi was the busiest person in the village.
Of course, this was something Lu Xingzhou did intentionally.
After Xian'er got busy, I never heard Wen complain again. I just don't know if she and Chuanwu have neglected their important business. When will Old Zhu be able to hold his grandson?
After tidying up his clothes, he took out another secret weapon from the bottom of the kang (heated brick bed) – a snakeskin walking stick.
The top is a perfectly round handle that fits comfortably in your hand, while the bottom is encased in red copper with a beautiful snakeskin pattern. The entire walking stick looks very elegant and, when paired with a suit and fedora, exudes a strong British aristocratic vibe.
When visiting someone in public, it's inappropriate to use a slingshot as a weapon.
Whether in Europe and America or East Asia, the principle of showing respect for clothing before respecting the person applies equally.
Wearing a smart suit, a fedora, and a walking stick—a popular accessory among the upper class in the last twenty years—can resolve many bureaucratic obstacles.
As for the trouble of not understanding his outfit.
Snakewood is known as the "gold of woods" due to its high price and hard texture.
After being optimized twice with the source of Qi, its quality is no less than that of metal. When struck, it produces a metallic sound, yet it is lighter and more elastic, and there is another secret within its belly.
This is another major advantage that allows Land Rover to operate on the West Coast: his ability to persuade people with physical evidence is extremely strong.
After tidying himself up, he called over Zhu Kaishan and his son Zhu Chuanwu before leaving.
He patted Chuanwu on the shoulder: "While I'm away, the safety of the enclosure depends on you!"
"Don't worry, boss, I'll take good care of the house!"
"Alright, go down."
"Mmm~"
After Chuanwu left, Lu Xingzhou handed Zhu Kaishan a blueprint and then asked Zhu Kaishan to come closer to him.
"I put it in the water cat's nest, something's up..."
Zhu Kaishan had never used this thing before, but he had been hit by it and was very shocked that Lu Xingzhou could have such a treasure.
After carefully examining the drawings and making sure you remembered the details, put the paper in your mouth, chew it, and swallow it.
"...Uncle Zhu, there's no need to be so cautious."
The old hero was so generous that even a madman like Lu Xingzhou couldn't figure out why he had this habit of eating random things.
"Hahaha~ Boss, go visit your neighbors without worry, don't worry about me!"
