Chapter 118 He is a Vase Marriage Scammer B (7)
The young man in front of me has just had a nap, so why does he look even worse than before he went to rest?
The old butler was worried and wondered if his previous rejection had made the young man too depressed or even sad?
Although he did not agree at all with what the patriarch said, "There are records in ancient books that weddings for good luck may really be useful," the patriarch seemed to really have high hopes for it.
The old butler watched the master of the family lose one child after another. How could he bear to see the hope of a father who just wanted his only remaining child to survive, no matter how absurd it was, be shattered?
So no matter what, the old butler will obey the head of the family unconditionally, and he wishes he could let Si Cen go to the third floor and stay with the fourth young master right now.
But then again...
The fourth young master's mental power level is too high, his pheromones are too strong, and he has been frequently going to the border star battlefield to kill enemies since he was young. He is very fierce and majestic, and usually keeps strangers away.
After falling into a coma, the Fourth Young Master's pheromones often leaked out and ran wildly without control. At this time, ordinary people could not get close to him at all.
Even if the head of the family or Young Master Sun went to visit him, they would choose a time when his pheromones were relatively less active, and the duration of the visit was strictly controlled.
The room where he usually sleeps, whether walls or doors and windows, are wrapped with top-grade insulating materials. Even so, the entire third floor is still filled with an invisible and odorless feeling of oppression that makes people feel suffocated just by getting close.
Most of the time, only robots can go up to clean the third floor.
Although betas cannot smell pheromones, they can still feel the oppressive feeling.
The young master of the Si family in front of him looked very sick, and the old butler was really afraid that he would collapse before he could even step onto the stairs to the third floor.
The old butler was worried, but he didn't show what he was thinking on his face.
Si Cen answered him softly, "As you can see, I didn't rest very well. What should I do... I feel a little homesick."
The old housekeeper's eyelids jumped violently, and he looked into his boss Cen's eyes. After two seconds of silence, he understood.
He was unhappy because he had not listened to his reminder and rejected his request to visit the Fourth Young Master, so he was now expressing his dissatisfaction.
To put it more seriously, he was making a threatening gesture: If someone makes me unhappy, I would like to go home in a moment, and I don't want to stay in your Jiang family forever.
Previously, the young master of the Si family was almost engaged to the young master Sun, but even so, except for Jiang Yan who had contact with him outside, no one else in the Jiang family had ever met Si Cen.
After all, the Si family has a lot of "jokes" on the main star. Whether it is the Si family head's completely opposite attitudes towards the eldest son and the illegitimate son, or the illegitimate son Si Cen's not-so-good reputation in the circle, they are not liked by the Jiang family, an old military family.
The reason why I agreed to their engagement at that time was just for the matching value.
The old housekeeper had naturally heard of Si Cen, and knew that Young Master Sun didn't like him either. He was even disgusted with him because he had reported the matter of the matching value to the head of the family without authorization, just for the sake of marrying into the family.
But Jiang Yan couldn't persuade his grandfather, so he had been responding passively, resulting in the engagement preparations being unusually slow and delayed again and again. In the end, the gender fraud incident came to light, and the old housekeeper even suspected that it was Young Master Sun who was behind this.
In short, in the eyes of the Jiang family, Si Cen had always been a villain who was only interested in currying favor, greedy for money and power before today.
Even before this, in the eyes of the old butler, Si Cen was still a little stupid.
But at this moment, he realized that he must have underestimated this young man.
At least he was smarter than he thought.
In the past, in order to enter the Jiang family, he even expressed his love for Young Master Sun in a grand manner on Xingbo in the circle, and acted so infatuatedly that even the old housekeeper once thought that he still had some sincerity towards their Young Master Sun.
As a result, the gender of the woman was exposed, and all the previous efforts were in vain. In the blink of an eye, she agreed to the family head's wedding without hesitation. The object was not only the father of the person who almost became her fiancé, but also a vegetable...
Such a cold heart, such decisiveness, such... a style that doesn't care about the process and the object as long as the goal can be achieved... really makes the old butler alert.
"I'm sorry. I acted on my own before and didn't really understand the master's intention. I offended you. Please don't hold it against me and give me another chance."
Si Cen looked at the old butler who was bending over with some surprise, and quickly reached out to help him up, "I can't bear it. What is this for? I just get used to this bed. I think it will be fine in two days."
As he spoke, he coughed weakly twice, which made the old butler feel that he was taking advantage of his seniority and deliberately making things difficult for the old butler by asking a man who would be blown down by a single breath to help him.
So he straightened up and said, "Master Si is right."
In his heart, however, he no longer had the slightest bit of the slight contempt and disdain he had felt towards Si Cen before.
This person is not as easy to deal with as he seems.
I just hope the master of the house can wake up soon.
"Since this is all a misunderstanding, I can go visit the Fourth Young Master Jiang now, right?"
Si Cen looked weak and vulnerable, and was polite and smiling.
No one would have thought that his few words just now forced the Jiang family's butler, who was almost second only to the king and had a say in front of all the wealthy and prestigious families on the main star, to lower his posture and bow to apologize to him.
"Of course, please follow me."
The old butler led the way personally, and even considering that Si Cen looked frail, he took him directly to the elevator which was rarely used by the family.
"The third floor is the Fourth Young Master's private area. It's not visiting hours now, so I can't accompany you there. There are call devices inside and outside the Fourth Young Master's room. If you feel any discomfort at that time, you can press the bell at any time and I will let the robot pick you up."
The old butler stood in the elevator and said to Si Cen who stepped out of the elevator.
Si Cen felt that there was a lot of information in his words, but he deliberately made it unclear.
Obviously, although this self-important old butler appeared to have surrendered on the surface, he still rejected him deep down in his heart.
But it's human nature. After all, everyone knew that 'Si Cen' had been planning to take advantage of Jiang Yan before, but now he turns around and agrees to help Jiang Yan's father get married without blinking an eye. It's obvious that he's a profit-seeking, cold-hearted guy. It seems that the old housekeeper doesn't even know that Jiang Che reacts to his (artificial) pheromones, so it's normal for him to dislike a guy with ulterior motives like him.
He was not afraid that the old butler had dug a pit ahead of him and was waiting for him to jump into it.
Anyway, he knew that the person who was most concerned about his safety right now was none other than Old Man Jiang, and his life would not be in danger in the Jiang family.
Furthermore, Si Cen intuitively felt that Jiang Che was his little cake, so he did not think that Jiang Che’s existence could hurt him.
Si Cen still had that gentle and friendly smile on his face. He nodded at the old butler, turned around and walked towards the innermost room that the old butler mentioned.
The old butler did not stay in the elevator on the third floor. He turned around and went downstairs.
Si Cen walked in the quiet corridor and found that the closer he got to the innermost room, the more obvious the cool air became.
At first Si Cen didn't pay much attention to this breath.
Because this breath actually has no "smell" to be honest, he thought it was the cold air blown out by the temperature control system in the house.
However, when he walked to the door of the room, the system recognized his facial information and opened the door for him.
A "breath" that was apparently "colorless and odorless" but had an extremely strong presence rushed towards him like a tsunami, and in the blink of an eye, he was "drowned" from hair to toes.
