Holding Onto My Man

Chapter 29: The protagonist of an ancient abusive novel (Part 1)

In the original plan, Gu Bai decided to rush back to Fu Mansion after he was done dealing with Fu family’s second young master to find a shield* to block this matter.

*excuse

In the past few years, although he wasn’t bullied by servants like the original host in the storyline because of studying, he didn’t raise his status into a real young master of the Fu family. The fact that the original host is a drag* is unchangeable.

*woman’s children from previous marriage (derogatory)

Once something goes wrong, between his own son and a drag*, the brain of a normal person will definitely be biased towards his own son. Furthermore, the fact that he was present today can’t be concealed.

So he needs to go back to Fu mansion to find a shield before the matter of Fu Tianci is exposed. As for this shield, he already figured it out. Naturally, it’s the target of this task, Fu Junli.

In the Fu family, although Lord Fu has the rank of a master, but in the entire Fu family, Fu Junli who is already in charge of Fu family’s business is the one with the final say. So as long as he receive Fu Junli’s protection*, no one in Fu family will dare to lay their hands on him.

*blessing

After preparing for several years, it’s also time to make a move on the BOSS. To go against Fu Junli, he already completed his strategy in recent years.

Fu Junli is very cold-blooded, it’s not easy to get close to such a person. Getting close to this person’s heart is more difficult than entering heaven.

However, nothing is for certain. While being cold-blooded, Fu Junli was also extremely infatuated. His more than ten years of reminiscing and nostalgia towards Ronglian* can prove his degree of infatuation.

*Sweet lotus paste

aka Lianzhi the white lotus

Such people either don’t love or love wholeheartedly.

Therefore, the only way to attack such a BOSS is to step on the ex and occupy the seat*. Using the similarities between the original host and Ronglian to get close to him. Otherwise, there won’t be any chance for Fu Junli to take a look at him, let alone make Fu Junli fall in love.

*take the position

As long as Fu Junli put his gaze on himself, then things will be easier. In the storyline, the original host’s emotional intelligence was too low and his character was too weak, causing him to become unfavorable and therefore abandoned.

Now that he already changed, there will be a poetic and artistic dreamlike ‘chance of encounter’ that will successfully seduce Fu Junli as planned.

No matter how angry Lord Fu is for what happened to Fu Tianci today, he definitely won’t dare to anger Fu Junli this cold-blooded son to come teach him a lesson. In the future, the outcome of him VS the white lotus is even more uncertain.

After a month long of crouching, he already pretty much understood the BOSS’s itinerary. Tonight was a good time to have a ‘chance encounter’, seamlessly linking them together.

Unfortunately, he didn’t expect Fu Tianci’s matter to be exposed before dawn. The little servant by his side was also a godly teammate. In a tea house full of people, he made a big fuss to find someone to come look at his young master’s naked ass!

However, even if things change, that dreamlike ‘chance encounter’ can’t. There’s another thing, the original host and white lotus’s similar azure eyes are the true weapons of seduction, the chance encounter is just icing on the cake....

Fu mansion became very lively in the middle of the night. In the large garden, no matter if it’s the madame, concubine, or servants, everyone climbed up from the bed and put on clothes to check the bustling scene.

Lord Fu sat on a carved chair, accompanied by a few wife and concubines. One gorgeous woman among them kept on crying.

“Laoye*, you must give justice to my child. Today, it must be caused by the unlucky star brought by the seventh concubine. He went drinking and sightseeing* with my child. How did my child encounter such things, he was fine and without a single strand of hair missing! Sob sob..... ”

*Lord Fu is actually called Fu ‘laoye’, the father/master of the household. Using ‘master’ is probably more accurate than ‘lord\'(?) But there’s so much master this and master that in ancient story, so I will just stick with using Lord.

*to appreciate the beauty of something

Gu Bai was invited to admire the chrysanthemums by Fu Tianci

The seventh concubine that she spoke of is Du Haitang. Du Haitang was anxious when she heard it and quickly defended “Laoye, there’s no way, Yunxi is timid since he was small, where would he have the courage...”

During these past few years in Fu mansion, she was still unable to bear Lord Fu’s child. Gu Bai was able to pass the imperial exam at a young age and is also very filial to her, unlike his heartless father. Du Haitang looks forward to seeing him achieve scholarly honour (or official rank). Fortunately there’s someone that she can rely on for the rest of her life. After all, you can’t depend on men, but there’s still some hope in a son.

“Enough, all of you shut up! Fugui, you say it, what happened today?”

Lord Fu who was already holding backing anger was bothered by those two ladies to the point of annoyance. He slammed the table, and with eyes full of anger, he first caught the little servant for interrogation.

“Laoye, this servant will say it, this servant will say it. Today, the second young master made this servant go invite little young master Du to go to the Lihua Garden to drink and make friends. Who knew that not long after young master Du entered, a ruckus happened inside. When this servant went in again, the room was already a mess. The second young master was not in sight and little young master Du was also missing. Also don’t know when they left the door, this servant was always waiting outside the door....”

The little servant was frightened to the point of trembling, how could he dare to hide what happened. He immediately said everything, and in order to protect his own life, he spared no effort to push the matter to Gu Bai.
