Chapter 104: It wasn’t him who kicked people.
With a wife even more handsome than himself, Gu Yu gloomily got into the carriage and headed towards the “Exotic Charm” Opera House.
Immediately after arriving at the destination, Shan Chengfeng and Maoyuan Tang were already waiting at the entrance.
“Brother Gu, it’s been many days since we last met, I’ve missed you dearly!”
“Enough, don’t say useless things! Shan Chengfeng, if you don’t explain clearly next time and bring me to a place like this, I will…”
“Brother Gu, please stop talking, I dare not do it again. If you hadn’t sent a messenger, I wouldn’t have set foot in this opera house again.”
Upon seeing Gu Yu finally appear, Shan Chengfeng immediately stepped forward, a fawning expression on his face, which made Gu Yu give him an annoyed glance.
Last time, before Gu Yu came to the opera house, he didn’t know that Shan Chengfeng was going to bring him to such a place. Otherwise, he would have refused from the start.
No matter how curious he was, he wouldn’t have gone, to avoid getting beaten when he returned.
If Gu Yu didn’t know English and hadn’t happened to overhear the conversation between two Western women, knowing the Holy Cult’s conspiracy… Gu Yu didn’t even dare to imagine the consequences.
In short, it was truly fortunate that he could explain clearly to Mengyao this time.
Next time, he might not be so lucky.
This also made Gu Yu feel that he had to be cautious and not make the same mistake twice.
Otherwise, the floor tiles that Mengyao stomped on would be his fate.
“Haha, Brother Gu, Chengfeng truly dares not. After Lin Yue came over last time, the marriage almost fell apart, which scared him stiff… This time when he came over, he even informed Lin Yue in advance, to avoid any misunderstandings later.”
“Would Lin Yue let him come so easily?”
“How could that be? Look, she’s following him!”
Seeing that Gu Yu didn’t seem to believe Shan Chengfeng, Maoyuan Tang quickly spoke up, indicating that Shan Chengfeng had indeed learned his lesson and was actively improving.
After Maoyuan Tang finished speaking, he smiled helplessly and then moved a few steps to the side, revealing Lin Yue, who was disguised as a man behind them.
“Good evening, gentlemen!”
After showing her face, Lin Yue immediately greeted Gu Yu and Mengyao.
Her face was full of smugness, showing no trace of the shrewish scolding from before.
Previously, Lin Yue had seen Mengyao dressed as a man, so when she dressed up like this, she didn’t reveal too many flaws. However, with her short stature, she now looked like a little boy.
Unlike Mengyao, who appeared more mature and handsome when dressed as a man.
Since Gu Yu and his party stood at the entrance of the opera house, the passing young women and little wives couldn’t look away when they saw Mengyao.
They stared straight at her, like hungry beasts that hadn’t eaten for days, their eyes fierce, wishing they could devour Mengyao directly.
This made Gu Yu quickly step forward, wanting to shield Mengyao from these wolf-like gazes, to prevent his little wife from being scared.
Really, modern women were too crazy!
Even if Mengyao was handsome, she should still be reserved!
“Alright, let’s go inside and talk! Standing at the entrance isn’t a solution.”
Afterward, it was Maoyuan Tang who took the initiative to suggest that everyone go into the opera house, at least to shield them from the admiring gazes of the many women.
As early as before, Shan Chengfeng had reminded him, so Maoyuan Tang knew that the person standing beside Gu Yu was not a man, but Gu Yu’s wife—Mengyao.
However, Maoyuan Tang couldn’t have imagined that Mengyao, a woman, could be dressed so handsomely.
Seeing the admiring gazes of the women around him, Maoyuan Tang couldn’t help but feel a pang of jealousy. He thought that he, a peerless good man, was simply a bit older-looking, which made him very unpopular with women. It was truly miserable.
As his friends one by one got married, he was the only old bachelor left, without even a woman to flirt with, let alone a fiancee.
“Yes, let’s go in! The main show is about to begin.”
Hearing Maoyuan Tang’s words, Gu Yu smiled slightly and then they all walked inside, preparing to see what the Purple-Eyed Fairy looked like.
After all, given the opera house’s efforts in promotion, she was bound to be very beautiful and wouldn’t disappoint.
As Shan Chengfeng and Maoyuan Tang led the way, some quick-witted Western women stepped forward and led the group to the second floor.
The words ‘rich’ and ‘influential’ were practically written on Shan Chengfeng and Maoyuan Tang’s faces. When the group reached the second floor, they were assigned a private room extremely close to the stage. Through a large open window, they could see the stage clearly.
Naturally, Shan Chengfeng was not stingy about being led to such a good location; he directly took out a silver note from his purse as a reward.
After receiving the silver note, the Western woman did not leave in a hurry. Instead, she stared at Mengyao, who attracted the most attention among the group. With a swirl of her eyes and her delicate body, she suddenly stumbled towards Mengyao.
When a delicate and beautiful woman suddenly falls, the normal reaction is to reach out and catch her.
Mengyao was no exception. She subconsciously raised her hand to catch the person who fell, but missed.
Just as Mengyao was wondering where the person had gone, she saw Gu Yu slowly retracting a foot, and the Western woman who had just fallen was kicked to the side.
It turned out that when the Western woman pounced, Gu Yu timely extended a foot and kicked her aside.
Even if she was a woman, she couldn’t take advantage of his wife.
“You can go down now, we don’t need service here.”
Afterward, Maoyuan Tang reluctantly got up, helped the Western woman who had fallen to the ground, and while gesturing animatedly, he received a cold glance from the Western woman. Finally, she spat at him, turned around, and directly left the private room.
Instantly, Maoyuan Tang’s fragile heart shattered, thinking that since it wasn’t him who kicked the person, why was he being treated like this!
Mengyao shook her head at Gu Yu, thinking that her little husband was too jealous.
Gu Yu, on the other hand, remained unfazed, sitting calmly beside Mengyao. He didn’t feel anything wrong about kicking away a woman who had tried to pounce on his wife.
“It seems that during this time, the opera house hasn’t found out anything.”
“Oh? Brother Gu means… that the opera house has discovered your spreading of rumors?”
“Even you have discovered it, so it’s unlikely that the opera house people haven’t. But don’t worry now, let’s watch and see!”
After there were no outsiders in the private room, Gu Yu spoke while his gaze shifted to the outside window. Seeing the stage so close, he couldn’t help but wear a smile of interest.
When he was on his way here, Gu Yu wasn’t sure, but now that they had been assigned this location, it made Gu Yu certain.
The Holy Cult had discovered something fishy and had invited them here. Was it because they were unsure? Or did they think it was unnecessary?
Regardless, let’s continue watching!
If nothing happened, it would be a disservice to him for actively releasing information, revealing that the rumors were spread by the Gu Residence…
That’s right, although it was a bit risky, Gu Yu still used the Gu Residence as bait, wanting to lure the snake out of its den.
After all, with so much time having passed, the opera house was still stubbornly resisting, making Gu Yu truly worried that after the New Year, this mess would still not be resolved.
At that time, he and his little wife would have to continue staying in the capital.
As for using the Gu Residence as bait, it was because Gu Qing’s background was quite powerful, at least much stronger than his as a mere villager, which made the Holy Cult hesitant and afraid to act rashly.
Of course, Gu Yu had considered using the Alliance as bait, but upon thinking that… the Alliance was a hidden organization that was completely useless at this time!
Therefore, he still had to use the Gu Residence… As for Shan Chengfeng, because he knew Gu Yu, he naturally guessed that Gu Yu was behind this when he learned the news.
And when Shan Chengfeng heard Gu Yu’s words, his expression was stunned. After thinking about it, Gu Yu was indeed not an ordinary person, and it was difficult to hide anything from him.
So, he easily let go and focused on waiting for the Purple-Eyed Fairy to appear, to see what she looked like, and what grudges Gu Yu had with these Westerners!
Although Shan Chengfeng had investigated the recent rumors in the capital and vaguely connected them to Gu Yu, he didn’t know why Gu Yu had spread such rumors.
If it was because he was beaten by his wife after going to the opera house once, so he was venting his anger… Shan Chengfeng believed that Gu Yu wasn’t so naive.
Therefore, there were still some unknown matters hidden within.
And with Gu Yu being the protagonist of the matter, it made Shan Chengfeng even more curious, his heart feeling like it was being scratched by a cat, eagerly wanting to know the truth.
However, Shan Chengfeng also knew that even if he actively went to ask Gu Yu, he wouldn’t get any results… For now, it was best to wait and see!
Perhaps, he could pick up a bargain.
“Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the ‘Exotic Charm’ Opera House tonight. I believe you have all heard that the Purple-Eyed Fairy will appear in our theater. Therefore, I won’t keep you in suspense any longer. The fairy will appear very soon!”
After the second-floor seats were filled, a nimble host jumped onto the stage. He didn’t give a long speech, and his words were extremely brief.
Knowing that everyone was here for the Purple-Eyed Fairy, he went straight to the point and announced that the Purple-Eyed Fairy would appear shortly.
This made everyone clap their hands in approval, and some even whistled, eagerly anticipating what the Western woman with purple eyes would look like!
The frantic appearance of the crowd made Gu Yu, sitting in the private room, snort. He thought that as someone who had transmigrated from modern times, he had seen all sorts of colored contact lenses.
Let alone purple eyes, he had even seen Sharingan eyes…
…
Sorry, only two updates today. I’m a bit stuck, and my mood has inexplicably dipped… I’ll make up for it tomorrow. I’ll get some rest early today.
