Chapter 642 - 642: 642 The generation gap is very deep

Second Brother really is a rough man. The sneer at the corner of her mouth deepened, “Does Second Brother think I’m doing something wrong?”

“No…” He frowned, his thick black eyebrows knitting together, “Second Brother only wants to protect you. Once her injury is better, we can let her leave, then she won’t have any evidence to accuse you.”

“So Second Brother would choose to tolerate.” She snorted, “There’s a huge generation gap between Second Brother and me, and I have a different way of dealing with people. You like to appease the troublemakers, but I hate doing that. If Big Sister wants to sue me, let her try. Who can prove I caused her injury? You, Chuan, Fourth Brother, or Zhou Fuquan? Who do you think will testify for her?”

He was momentarily at a loss for words, “I didn’t think about that. But my starting point is always to protect you.”

She slipped out from under his arm and walked a few steps away, her back to him, “Second Brother, I’ve thought it through. You’re my respected elder brother. We…cannot be husband and wife.”

He grabbed her slender arm with an iron grip, furious, “What nonsense are you talking about!”

Despite the pain in her arm from his grip, she seemed oblivious, “Second Brother, we aren’t a good match, and forcing it won’t bring happiness. I’ll work hard to make money, help you establish a career, and help you find a good wife.”

His heart ached, but a cold smile appeared on his face, “Heh heh…this is truly the most unfunny joke in the world. Yue’er, you are my wife. But my wife wants me to marry another woman?”

Pointing at his disfigured left face, “Tell me, who other than you would be willing to marry a man with a ruined appearance? Who else would marry me?”

“There will be someone.” She said lightly, “Second Brother, you’re such a good man, there will be women who appreciate you.”

He roughly gripped her shoulders, “But I only want you! In this lifetime, I, Xiao Yishan, only want you as my wife, I don’t want any other woman!”

She felt like her arm was about to be crushed by his grip, and as she looked at his cold, wounded, and sorrowful face, her clear eyes seemed to see right through him, “You won’t.”

“I will.” He said firmly, gritting his teeth.

“Believe me, you won’t.” She touched several of his acupoints with her fingers, and his grip suddenly loosened. He tried to tighten his grip again, but he couldn’t muster any strength. It seemed that he could only watch her gradually distance from him, powerless.

He was amazed by her acupoint-pressing technique and suddenly remembered that she had mentioned she was a killer, “Yue’er, are you really a killer?”

She smiled tenderly, “Of course not, it was just a joke. Look at how weak I am, how could I possibly kill anyone?”

He felt the truth in her words.

She said nonchalantly, “When Third Brother saw me, he always joked that he saw a ghost. Isn’t that just a joke too?”

“Third brother speaks carelessly. He’s just teasing you.”n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

“So, when I said I was a killer, I was just teasing you and Third Brother.” At that time, she hadn’t yet seen the flaws in the three men in the family. Out of trust, she mentioned it. It was a good thing they didn’t take her seriously.

Xiao Yishan fell silent for a moment, “But your medical skill is extraordinary…”

“You flatter me, Second Brother.” She said, “I just learned medicine from the medical books left by old Scholar Huang before he died, and in the three days I was on the run, I met a noble person who guided me and helped me understand a lot more.”

Xiao Yishan brought up a doubt, “If you met a noble person, then why did you steal steamed buns in the town and even get beaten half to death?”
