Chapter 328: Baffling Logic
Ning Shu felt that He Dahua was quite an interesting man. He didn’t count as a good person, but he wasn’t a bad person either. He had a high status in He Village so he did things according to his own rules, but he was also pretty slick in dealing with people.
This kind of man wasn’t the type to suffer losses. Although he was a little wily, he wasn’t bad at heart.
The only problem was that his looks were a little too unsightly. In a world that judged based on looks, he wouldn’t be able to get far.
Ning Shu gazed at him with pity. If he had the ability to climb up the ranks, he’d definitely be given the role of a king or marquis.
His personality was completely different from the prejudiced Wen Ruhua. Ning Shu felt that men should be smooth in manners and have thick skin, only then would they live well.
“Little beauty, please consider it seriously and give me a reply in a few days.” He Dahua fanned himself as he slowly walked away. His attitude was the stark opposite of the sniveling and snot-dripping appearance he had when he had first arrived.
“Toad trying to eat swan meat! Miss, why doesn’t that He Dahua look in the mirror? How could he ask you to marry him?” Yue Lan spoke with disdain.
However, Ning Shu didn’t mind and just said mildly, “Human fate is never certain. He might be like this now, but after a while, or perhaps after a dozen years, he’ll be different.”
Some people couldn’t be bullied, but anyone could bully someone like Wen Ruhua. Anyone could tell with a glance that he wouldn’t amount up to anything this lifetime.
The sky darkened. When Ning Shu and Yue Lan were in the middle of dinner, the door opened with a creak and Wen Ruhua came out. He walked over and made himself a bowl of porridge, then started to eat silently.
After he finished eating, he put the bowls and chopsticks down, then asked with a dark expression, “Are you really going to marry He Dahua?”
Ning Shu continued eating calmly as she remarked, “Why can’t I?”
Wen Ruhua gave a cold laugh. “Don’t tell me you don’t know what kind of person He Dahua is?”
Ning Shu nodded. “Of course I know what kind of person he is.”
Wen Ruhua became stirred up. “Since you know what kind of person he is, you know how he tyrannizes the village! You’re willing to marry that kind of person!?”
Ning Shu curled her lips in disdain. “Why can’t I marry him? Setting aside the question of whether he tyrannizes the village or not for now, as long as he treats me well, why wouldn’t I marry him?”
In reality, this was a pretty messed up question. If your man was a jerk but he loved you, should you choose this kind of man?
But what did the world have to do with me? A woman’s heart was very small and could only contain a single man.
So Ning Shu didn’t even feel like paying attention to Wen Ruhua when he tried to use the grand scheme of things to pressure her.
“Bai Qinxiang, you’re truly beyond saving. For your materialistic desires, you’re willing to go to such lengths? Could it be that you don’t feel any guilt at all!?” Wen Ruhua bellowed at Ning Shu.
What the fuck? What had she done? What does He Dahua tyrannizing the village have anything to do with her marrying him?
He was trying to use this kind of reasoning to stop her from marrying He Dahua, was his brain screwed on right? Could it be that He Dahua would stop tyrannizing the village just because she refused to marry him?
This logic had successfully baffled her.
Wen Ruhua said coldly, “Bai Qinxiang, if you’re really lusting that much for a man, I can satisfy you. The fact that you’re even willing to marry a man like He Dahua shows that you truly are desperate.”
Slap…
Ning Shu flung a slap directly on his face. Wen Ruhua froze and just stared blankly at Ning Shu as if he still hadn’t processed what happened.
So Ning Shu swung her left palm, then her right, and pelted his face with slaps.
