The Mystic Nine (4) Xie-Wu Matchmaking

Originally, Wu Xie’s grandpa’s marriage had an interesting beginning.

Xie Jiuye pushed his glasses up. This was the third time he had done this action, and the girl sitting across from him was a little overwhelmed.

They were in the teahouse, and this man had been looking at her like this for almost two hours. If it wasn’t for her mother’s insistence that they should meet, she really wouldn’t have stayed so long and been stared at by such a strange man.

The girl thought it was odd, and also couldn’t help looking at the man for a long time. Although the atmosphere was very awkward and this man was very strange, his weird temperament kept her from leaving under the pretext of being uncomfortable. Her mother would never let her faint and embarrass herself here.

What kind of temperament was it? She really couldn’t tell. Whenever she looked at this man, she kept feeling like she couldn’t see through him.

There were many kinds of people like this in the world. Some were taciturn, some were duplicitous, some people smiled and laughed on the surface, but were actually plotting something. Some acted like everything was normal, but gave off the feeling that something was wrong. But what about this man?

She was a very, very clever girl. She knew that if a person could be easily read and had something hidden in his heart, then he wasn’t truly a shrewd person. The more shrewd someone was, the more plans he would have concealed. But all your guesses would be wrong, for the other party would have already set everything up so you wouldn’t be able to touch his real thoughts. This was a real strategist.

But this Jiuye—she didn’t know why such a young man was called Jiuye—had such a strange temperament that she couldn’t make any determinations. When she saw him, she kept feeling like he wasn’t that simple, but she wasn’t sure. Really, when she wasn’t forcing herself into believing that this person wasn’t sitting there idly, she kept feeling like she was thinking too much.

Give me some clues, the girl thought to herself.

No man could be that difficult for her to see through. Out of all the men she had met in the past, they always had a reason for contacting her. As long as she could tell what kind of person this man was, then it was game over for him.

This was really tricky. She wondered if it would be considered a loss if she just got up and left.

“How much longer are you going to keep staring?” The girl decided to give in and see what would happen if she took the initiative to attack.

Xie Jiuye looked at her baby face and sighed in his heart. This girl was petite, strange, and had a particularly charming baby face. it was no wonder that men liked her so much. Not only was she beautiful, but she was particularly clever, too. She looked down on them all, which made her mother utterly devastated. If she wasn’t his cousin, he wouldn’t want to wade into this muddy water and introduce her to anyone.

“Say something.” The girl was a little impatient and wondered if she had been wrong and this person was actually a fool.

“If you don’t examine the goods carefully, how can you sell them?” Xie Jiuye shook his head, took a sip of tea, and then looked at his pocket watch. He got up and walked downstairs while sighing heavily.

This cousin was good, but it was a pity he couldn’t be with her. Out of everyone in the whole world, he was afraid only one man could handle her. Moreover, it could be regarded as a good marriage. He was too ambitious, and such a life wasn’t suitable for love. Seeing such a fine thing could also count as karma.

Xie Jiuye remembered what he had done that night four years ago, and felt his heart clench. He rubbed his chest and sighed.

The girl in the tea house was stunned, and sat there staring blankly at the empty table opposite. It took her a long time to react, and when she did, her face was livid. She turned and said to the young girl following her, “Let’s go.” Just as she was about to leave, she saw a young man bounding up the stairs with a dog in his arms.

When he came up, he called, “Where’s Xie Jiu? Didn’t Little Jiujiu say he had some good tea and was waiting for me here?” When he saw the girl’s livid face, he couldn’t help laughing, “How come Xie Jiu’s turned into a big girl? Now that I think about it, you do look a little similar. Girl, the sun is shining, so don’t be angry.”

“You’re Xie Jiu!” The girl became angry, and poured a bowl of tea directly on the newcomer’s face.

The waiter who followed the man up had a breakdown and immediately came over and wiped him with a towel, “Master Wu, are you okay?”

Old Dog Wu shook his head, looked at the petite figure making her way down the stairs, and looked at his poor puppy. He couldn’t help shaking his head and asked the waiter, “Whose girl is that?”

The waiter scratched his head, unsure what to say. He heard the girl downstairs shout, “Whoever dares say it, I’ll skin him alive! Find out yourself! Go to your Xie Jiu and settle the accounts!”

The waiter looked at Old Dog Wu, who motioned for him to stop talking. He sat down by the railing, shook out his wet clothes, and couldn’t help but smile as he watched the girl walk down the street.
