Chapter 100 A Good Medicine for Relieving Pain
Wenbo Shuang didn't react at first.
What kind of acid-resistant face mask?
Memories flooded back, and he suddenly remembered that after his father was beaten, he confronted Wen Shumu and mentioned Ling Suyu. Wen Shumu warned him that if that remark were leaked, the public would throw sulfuric acid at him.
Wen Boshuang's face immediately turned somewhat gloomy.
He dared not respond to Wen Shumu's words, fearing that the sensitive media would seize on the opportunity and never let it go.
The constant flashes of camera lights forced him to force a smile: "...Brother, long time no see."
"You look great today." He glanced at Wen Shumu's clothes. "Marshal Ling really does change things."
I feel there's something strange about the atmosphere between the two brothers.
Both of them seemed to be implying something more.
Wen Boshuang's smile looks so fake.
What do you mean by "different from before"? Is he in Yin Yang Mu Mu?
Wen Boshuang looked up at the cold and stern black-haired marshal behind Wen Shumu: "Marshal, it's a pleasure to meet you."
Logically, he should have bowed slightly in front of the marshal, but he held his head high, showing no respect whatsoever.
Ling Suyu gave him a cold glance, as if she had seen something dirty, and quickly looked away.
Wen Boshuang's already strained smile became even more rigid; this was the first time he had ever been treated so perfunctorily.
This is the first time I've seen Marshal Ling treat people this way.
[+1, I always thought the Marshal just looked a bit cold, but he's actually quite gentle. This is the first time I've seen him act like that on a TV show, not even responding to a greeting.]
Could there really be some grudge? I'm so curious what Wen Boshuang did to make the Marshal dislike her so much.
[Actually, I've always found it strange that Mumu has grown up so much, yet we never knew the Wen family had him.]
Indeed, they didn't even allow Wen Shumu into the social circles most valued by the nobility. Calling it protection is going too far. Wen Boshuang used to be attending all sorts of banquets every day on the Imperial Star.
[Mumu's behavior on the show doesn't seem like that of a pampered, aristocratic Omega.]
(Please remember the website 202s.tw for the fastest chapter updates.)
[MuMu has been on Weibo for so many days, but not a single member of the Wen family is paying attention to him.]
[I'm bold; maybe it's not that the Wen family wants to protect their pampered young master at all; maybe they just don't want the public to know about his existence.]
Wen Shumu's lips drooped slightly as he turned to block Wen Boshuang's gaze.
He glanced at the seat nameplates and saw that the organizers had indeed placed them together.
"Brother, let's sit down." Wen Shumu pulled Ling Suyu to sit down.
To their right are the guests from "Love's Star Journey," and to their left is Wen Boshuang, who is standing.
Chu Zhao, who was to Ling Suyu's right, sensed that something was off. Before Wen Boshuang could look at him, he turned to talk to Ludwig to avoid any unnecessary awkward social interaction.
Wen Boshuang originally planned to take the opportunity to greet the guests of "Love's Star Journey" and make an appearance on the live stream, but no one bought into it.
Seeing that everyone had taken their seats, Wen Boshuang felt that it would be too conspicuous for her to stand alone, so she also sat down, her expression revealing a hint of impatience.
Come to think of it, why would a young master from a noble family need to actively interact with these commoners?
With so many guests at the show, the seats were quite close together, making it easy for arms to bump into each other.
However, a dividing line was drawn between Wen Shumu and Wen Boshuang.
At first, the two did not speak.
The cameras flew past the two of them from time to time, and some even stopped right in front of them, almost shooting them up close.
Wen Boshuang bit her lip, feeling that this was an opportunity.
He couldn't act impulsively and fall for Wen Shumu's trick. He had to perform well. Wasn't Jiang Hong trying to create this "Federal People's Little Brother" persona? Those lowly people online loved watching this kind of pretentious act.
In any case, nobles like him would be grateful if they were just a little kind to others.
Thinking of this, Wen Boshuang glanced at Wen Shumu, wanting to chat with him about his recent situation.
"Brother, I know you love reading. What books have you been reading lately?" Wen Boxian blinked and smiled again. "Do you have any recommendations?"
Wen Shumu seemed surprised that Wen Boshuang would take the initiative to speak to him, and a hint of astonishment flashed in his eyes.
When he caught a glimpse of the camera in front of him, he suddenly understood Wen Boshuang's thoughts.
Wen Shumu smiled and looked directly at the Omega in the white coat: "Book recommendation... I've been cultivating my mind and spirit lately, and I've been reading some religious philosophy books. The book 'The Three Retributions' has really inspired me."
"Good and evil are intertwined by cause and effect." Wen Shumu's eyes were deep and dark. "The seeds sown with malice can only blossom and bear fruit in hell."
Wen Boshuang's smile vanished instantly.
What does he mean? Is he implying that he'll go to hell?!
Noticing that Wen Boshuang's expression was getting worse, Wen Shumu changed his tone: "Ah, these books might be a bit difficult. If you want something more relaxed and practical, 'One Hundred Ways to Improve Emotional Intelligence' and '99 Small Details for Being Kind to Others' would be quite suitable."
Wen Boshuang's face turned pale with anger, and after a long while she managed to squeeze out a sentence: "I never realized before that you were so eloquent, brother."
In the past, no matter what he said to Wen Shumu, the man remained indifferent and gave no reaction.
Now, however, they keep openly and secretly criticizing him for being vicious and having low emotional intelligence.
Just because he said something bad about Ling Suyu?
Ling Suyu beat his father so badly, what's wrong with saying a word to him?
The lights changed, the show was about to begin, and Wen Shumu turned to the catwalk, no longer looking at him, and casually said, "After all, we're not familiar with each other."
[Mumu is really going all out, constantly making snide remarks about Wenbo Shuang, hahaha!]
It's so satisfying to see Wen Boshuang get his comeuppance! Before, he was always the one bullying others because of his family background. My favorite blogger was attacked with insulting private messages and doxxed just for saying something bad about him, and ended up quitting the internet.
[It was probably because of him that everyone had a bad impression of Wen Shumu in the first place, thinking that if the younger brother was like this, the older brother would probably be about the same.]
This completely confirms their discord.
[Mumu: If we're not familiar, please don't bother me.]
[Holy crap, suddenly I realize that the marriage alliance with the Marshal is also a possibility. The nobles and Marshal Ling are sworn enemies. Even if it's an imperial decree, the Wen family can't just give up and easily marry their most beloved son to the Marshal.]
That means they're not favored.
[Rumor has it that the marriage alliance was initiated by the Wen family, so of course they wouldn't object. His Majesty bestowed the marriage upon them because their pheromones were highly compatible.]
[Didn't a blogger analyze this before? The powerful aristocratic families were severely weakened and wanted to use a marriage alliance to seek peace and buy time to recuperate. Mu Mu was essentially a pawn. However, at the time, everyone was using him to mock the Wen family; no one really cared about what he was like personally.]
If that's really the case... I wonder how Mumu fared in the Wen family before.
Even though he didn't gain any advantage after talking with Wen Boshuang, Wen Shumu's expression still unconsciously turned gloomy.
He thought those painful memories from the past had faded away, but when he saw the person who caused him that pain again, he realized that he hadn't forgotten any of them.
He only found a good medicine that could relieve his pain, allowing him to temporarily forget his troubles.
The cold hand on my knee was suddenly enveloped in warmth.
The lights in the venue were all focused on the catwalk, rhythmic music started, and the show officially began.
Everyone's attention was drawn to the tall models walking gracefully on the runway. Even Wen Boshuang put aside her resentment and was attracted by Lumley's new products.
Only Wen Shumu was looking at his Alpha.
The large hand holding his gently squeezed his palm in a comforting gesture.
Under the gaze of those tender blue eyes, Wen Shumu felt as if he had found a safe haven, and no more turbulent waves arose in his heart.
Ling Suyu was his cure.
