Chapter 31: Like a Thief
Of course, Chen Haisheng had no idea that Chen Yan had joked in Changbai Mountain that if he wanted to become the head of the family, he could kill Chen Pi and take over when he returned.
So naturally, they didn't understand why Wu Xie would say such... stupid things.
Jie Lianhuan felt a throbbing sensation on his forehead and said firmly, "Patriarch Chen, I am injured and not feeling well, so I won't keep you any longer. Xiao Xie, see the guest out."
Wu Xie snapped out of his daze and immediately pretended that nothing had happened, saying to Chen Yan, "Patriarch Chen, please."
Chen Yan didn't mind, got up and took a banana from Chen Haisheng's hand, saying, "Haisheng, the Wu family head is stingy, we should be more generous. Although he is unwilling to tell me the answer, we should still give him fruit."
"Yes, Master."
Chen Haisheng stepped forward and stuffed all the washed fruit from the fruit basket into Xie Lianhuan's arms.
Jie Lianhuan was completely dumbfounded.
Chen Haisheng turned and left, and Wu Xie, somewhat speechless, saw Chen Yan to the door.
However, Wu Xie was curious about what Chen Yan had asked his third uncle earlier, so he decided to ask him.
But before Wu Xie could ask Chen Yan...
Chen Yan suddenly turned around and moved closer to Wu Xie. Wu Xie subconsciously took a step back and stared at Chen Yan with wide eyes: "You...."
"Shhh."
Chen Yan raised his finger and pressed it against Wu Xie's lips, then tilted his head slightly and sniffed at the nape of Wu Xie's neck.
Looking up at the bewildered eyes so close to his, Chen Yan said softly, "The smell on you... tsk."
Chen Yan withdrew his hand, stood up straight, and turned to leave. Wu Xie, having recovered from what had just happened, turned around and wanted to grab Chen Yan to ask him for clarification.
But Chen Yan left behind the words: "Third Master Wu, so you really didn't know."
knowledge?
What do you know?
Wu Xie felt a little confused. What was that smell on him?
What does it taste like?
Wu Xie subconsciously turned his head and sniffed, but there was no smell. He had just taken a shower last night.
Where does this smell come from?
But when Wu Xie looked up at the hospital corridor, he suddenly remembered that Chen Yan and Lao Jiu had said there was a reason why he was unlucky.
And now, Chen Yan even says he smells bad?
Wu Xie decided to ask his third uncle what kind of smell he had.
But just then, someone ran over from not far away: "Naive, naive!"
Wu Xie looked over and asked Wang Yueban, "Fatty, why are you running?"
Wang Yueban ran up to Wu Xie in one breath, grabbed his arm, and pulled him toward the stairwell next to him.
"Fatty, what are you doing?"
After pulling Wu Xie into the stairwell, Wang Yueban cautiously glanced outside before lowering his voice and saying, "Tianzhen, you know Chen Yan has become the head of the family, right?"
Wu Xie nodded: "I know, he came by and just left."
"Fatty, I have something to tell you, but don't tell your third uncle."
"What?"
Wu Xie's expression immediately changed, and he looked at Wang Yueban. Wang Yueban glanced outside to make sure no one was paying attention before leaning close to Wu Xie's ear and whispering, "Fatty, I just ran into that person."
"When Chen Yan got into the car, there was a teenager with him."
"The boy asked Chen Yan, 'What does Wu Xie smell like?'"
"Chen Yan said that we should ask the Wu family about this, but it doesn't matter, since the Wu family won't tell Wu Xie anyway."
Wu Xie was stunned, looking at Wang Yueban: "Are you sure it was you who eavesdropped, and not that Chen Yan deliberately wanted you to hear?"
Wang Yueban looked outside and said, "Naive, Fatty, I'm pretty sure they didn't see me."
"Tianzhen, tell me, what exactly happened? What did Chen Yan mean by 'taste'?"
Lost in thought, Wu Xie unconsciously muttered, "Chen Yan just said I have a smell. I suspect that smell is the reason why I'm so unlucky."
"Now you've overheard Chen Yan saying that this smell is very likely caused by the Wu family, and... the Wu family won't tell me why?"
Wu Xie gritted his teeth: "I don't believe it! I'm going to ask my third uncle right now!"
Wang Yueban was stunned for a moment, and in that moment of hesitation, Wu Xie rushed out, with Wang Yueban quickly following behind.
Wu Xie rushed into the ward and, seeing Xie Lianhuan trying to run away, immediately grabbed his arm: "Third Uncle! I'm asking you, what exactly is this smell on me? Where did this smell come from?"
"Is all my bad luck related to this taste?"
Jie Lianhuan was still thinking about how to trick Wu Xie into running away when he suddenly heard Wu Xie's question.
His expression changed instantly, though he quickly recovered, turning away from Wu Xie's hand and heading towards the hospital bed, saying, "You brat, all your third uncle wanted to do was go to the bathroom! Why are you spouting such nonsense?"
But Wu Xie and Wang Yueban both saw that instantaneous change in expression.
Wu Xie stared in disbelief at Xie Lianhuan, who was already lying down: "Third Uncle! Get up! Explain yourself! What happened to me?"
Do you know why I'm so unlucky?
Wu Xie didn't believe it at first. He rushed in seemingly recklessly, but it was actually because he was worried that his third uncle might take the opportunity to escape since they were all gone.
After running in, Wu Xie saw Jie Lianhuan trying to run away. Wu Xie had no choice but to ask first. Anyway, whether his third uncle said anything or not, Wu Xie himself didn't really believe that there could be any smell that could bring bad luck.
Wu Xie originally planned to throw out a question to disrupt his Third Uncle's prepared excuses before speaking.
But who knew that his third uncle's expression would actually change for a moment?
Wu Xie really couldn't hold back anymore.
With his eyes closed, Jie Lianhuan said, "Oh dear, my head hurts. I'm going to sleep."
Seeing Xie Lianhuan avoiding the question, Wu Xie suddenly fell silent. Looking at Xie Lianhuan, he said, "Fine, if you won't tell me, then I'll go find Chen Yan and ask him clearly."
He turned and left, pulling Wang Yueban along with him.
As soon as they left the ward, Wang Yueban asked, "Tianzhen, are you really going to the Chen family?"
Unexpectedly, Wu Xie pulled Wang Yueban into the stairwell and said, "Shh."
Wu Xie stared intently at the outside.
When Wang Yueban saw Wu Xie's expression, he immediately stopped asking questions and looked outside as well.
Sure enough, not long after, Xie Lianhuan was seen secretly opening the ward door, looking around, and then retreating back to close the door.
Wu Xie immediately came out of the stairwell and cautiously approached the door of the ward.
Wang Yueban followed behind, crouching low, the two of them looking like thieves.
With his ear pressed against the doorway, Wu Xie listened quietly as Xie Lianhuan's voice came from inside the room.
