The Reborn Honest Beta is a Fishing Beauty - Chapter 6 PT2

Chapter 6 PT2 – Discovering a Secret

Yuan Palace.

Su Nuo closed his eyes and tried hard to recall the potted plant that Lu Yu had given him.

There are so many different kinds.

In his previous life, he faced those potted plants face to face but still couldn’t find them. In this life, without the real objects, it is even more difficult to do it.

So he still had to buy potted plants tomorrow and start working. If nothing worked, he would just graft thousands of plants. Maybe he would succeed if he was lucky.

The grafting failed in the previous life. It was probably not only a problem with the species, but also because the grafting steps might have been problematic.

More than a month after Yuan Jianyi was brought back to the Yuan family for treatment, Yuan Jianyi’s nominal fiancé, Xu Yu, finally showed up.

In the ward.

Xu Yu held Yuan Jianyi’s hand, tears streaming down his face as he spoke, “Jianyi, the elders have been putting pressure on me. I’m the eldest son of the Xu family, and I have to shoulder the family’s responsibilities. Yesterday, the Xu family elders discussed with the Star Lord and agreed that our engagement is now null and void. It will be changed to… my marriage to your younger brother, Yuan Lu.”

“I’m sorry, Jian Yi. You have always been my ideal wife. I will always keep a place for you in my heart.”

In his previous life, when Su Nuo heard Xu Yu’s heartless words, he couldn’t help but feel sorry for Yuan Jianyi. In this life, he pretended not to hear it, turned his back and kept himself busy with his own affairs.

After waking up, Yuan Jianyi, the person involved, did not care about Xu Yu’s betrayal and still chose to reconcile with Xu Yu.

Then why should he bother himself and meddle in other people’s affairs?

Xu Yu touched Yuan Jianyi’s face for a while, then suddenly said, “You refused to let me touch you before, but now I am touching you anyway.”

The true feelings suddenly faded away, as if he suddenly realized that he didn’t need to pretend anymore, and Xu Yu’s voice was only filled with ridicule and teasing.

“What a pity for this face, the white moonlight of the empire. No matter how charming it was in the past, now it can only lie here motionless, like a piece of wood.”

“I don’t mind marrying Yuan Lu, and marrying you as well. It’s like having two wives. But the Yuan family… Hmm, I’m afraid they won’t agree.”

Xu Yu’s hand slowly slid down, stroked Yuan Jianyi’s neck, and reached his chest.

Su Nuo saw it from the corner of his eye and came over with liquid food: “Mr. Xu, please move aside. I need to feed Young Master Yi.”

Xu Yu withdrew his hand, glanced at the black liquid food, and frowned. He did not leave, but watched Su Nuo feed Yuan Jianyi from the side.

After a while, Aunt Xuan pushed the toilet over and said she wanted to help Yuan Jianyi defecate.

Xu Yu was so scared that he turned around and left. Even after he walked away, he could still faintly hear “tsk tsk” sounds, as if expressing regret and disgust.

People only like to see the brilliance of pearls and gemstones, and don’t want to see the polishing and grinding behind them.

Su Nuo sat down and looked at Yuan Jianyi lying on the hospital bed.

This was the first time he had looked at him closely since his rebirth. The man seemed even thinner than when he’d been unconscious. His cheeks were sunken, his skin pale, like a beautiful vase that had been broken but held together by glue, beautiful yet fragile.

Su Nuo murmured softly in his heart: “I can’t understand why you like Xu Yu…”

In the previous life, not long after Yuan Jianyi and Xu Yu got engaged for the second time, Xu Yu died in an accident. After that, Yuan Jianyi got engaged to someone else, but it ended in failure for unknown reasons.

Since then, Yuan Jianyi never remarried. It is said that it was because of his unforgettable first love, Xu Yu.

Maybe there is no reason for emotional matters.

Yuan Jianyi likes people like Xu Yu.

Su Nuo stood up and left, not noticing that Yuan Jianyi’s fingers on the hospital bed moved slightly after he left.

The Yuan Palace and the Xu family had originally intended to keep the matter of the marriage candidate a low profile, fearing public backlash. However, Xu Yu, drunk, revealed the matter with a smug air. It quickly became a hot topic on Starnet, drawing widespread criticism.

The Xu family had no choice but to come forward and claim that it was the Xu family who took the initiative to propose changing the marriage candidate.

The people turned their attention to the Xu family, denouncing them for being obsessed with money and gain.

The Xu family always maintained an attitude of being a dead pig that is not afraid of boiling water, attracting public attention and allowing themselves to be insulted.

The Yuan Palace quietly distanced itself from the whirlpool of public opinion.

Yuan Jing was very satisfied with the Xu family’s understanding and planned to hold a more grand and luxurious engagement banquet for Yuan Lu and Xu Yu, inviting all high-ranking officials of the empire to attend.

It was at this engagement party in their previous life that Su Nuo and Lu Yu met for the first time.

On this day, Su Nuo was transferred to help arrange the banquet with Shen Miao and others.

When Shen Miao saw Su Nuo appear, he covered his mouth and sighed, “Nuo Nuo, you look so beautiful today.”

When the servants around heard this, they all looked at Su Nuo.

Su Nuo’s ears quickly filled with blood, and he explained awkwardly: “I’m not dressed up.”

Shen Miao nudged Su Nuo with his elbow, and said jokingly with a smile: “Your hair is combed so neatly, and your clothes are washed so nicely, and you still say you don’t dress up.”

“I didn’t really dress up, I just wanted to cheer myself up.”

“Oh~ Cheer up, no wonder your eyes are so bright today, Nuo Nuo, as if you want to express your feelings…”

Before he could finish the rest of his words, Su Nuo quickly covered Shen Miao’s mouth and urged him to get back to work.

Third floor.

Just now, Yuan Jianyi’s electrocardiogram monitor showed an abnormality, indicating that his heart was beating too fast. The doctor came over to check and found no problems. He just asked the servants to keep a close eye on him.

None of the Yuan family members showed up.

Su Nuo looked at the person on the hospital bed. His appearance did not improve in the slightest because of his sleep. Instead, he looked more fragile and broken, which made people feel pity for him.

However, no matter how beautiful the porcelain is, it is worthless if it cannot be shown to outsiders.

There are now six servants taking care of Yuan Jianyi. After repeatedly declaring that there is no hope for him to wake up, the number becomes four, two, and finally only one.

Aunt Xuan whispered to Aunt Tong, “Is Master Yi aware? He realized that today is the engagement day of Master Xu and Master Lu, so…”

“Don’t talk nonsense. The medical team has checked him multiple times. If he was conscious, he would have been discovered long ago.”

“Hey, I still hope that Master Yi can be aware of this. He’s being bullied by people outside…”

Su Nuo closed the window, and the noise of the engagement party downstairs was instantly blocked out.

Aunt Xuan and Aunt Tong glanced at him, moved to the other side and continued whispering.

He pretended not to hear and walked out of the ward.

The corridor had no walls on either side, and the night wind rushed in. The lingering scent of cosmetics and alcohol lingered in his nostrils for a long time.

His head felt a little dizzy from the smoke.

He walked towards the attic to get some fresh air, but suddenly caught a glimpse of a figure around the corner and stopped in his tracks.

But before he could leave, the other party’s conversation already came into my ears.

“Lu Yu, please take me away.”

The person who spoke was Yuan Lu, one of the protagonists of today’s banquet.
