After talking about the serious matters, they began chatting frivolously.
Xu Xianghu was shaken. Tears welled up in his large eyes and he looked extremely pitiful like an abandoned puppy.
Yueze stared at the wealthy guests who lived a life of glitz and glamor with a complicated look on his face and a cold smirk on his lips.
Noticing his peculiar expression, Wen Xinya could not help but look below as well.
The guests were dressed in extravagant and opulent ensembles. The gentlemen were gathered together for an enjoyable conversation or chatted away merrily with the ladies. Some brazen ones were even openly flirting with them in public. On the other hand, the female guests were all dressed in elegant and resplendent gowns, with faces full of pristine makeup. They appeared posh and beautiful, their long and dark eyelashes like little fans that fluttered in the air. They would smile gracefully without exposing their teeth.
There was nothing too unusual.
Seemingly having noticed her look of curiosity, Yueze chuckled and said, “These pure-blood female horses are just relying on deceptive breast pads, fish-bone girdles, large bustles, and their graceful movements to fool others into thinking that they’re beautiful and seductive figures. Don’t you find it amusing?”
Wen Xinya was shocked to hear his relentlessly sarcastic and callous remark!
“Pure-blood female horses” was too apt of a description. They were as randy as horses and would accept any man who came their way. Psht…
European women, especially those from Russia, fancied using breast pads and silicon paddings to give their bosoms a better shape; and girdles to make their waists appear more slender. They also enjoyed wearing bustles to make themselves look more elegant and prestigious.
Yueze’s description was spot on.
With a derisive smirk on his face, Yueze pointed at one of the men downstairs and said, “There are also those self-conceited men who regard themselves too highly. They act like they’re God’s best creation and flirt with women brazenly while still pretending to be gentlemanly. In fact, they’re no different from those promiscuous female horses of their own kind. Did you know that research has shown that Russian men have sexual encounters with at least fifty women in an entire lifetime? As the saying goes, even an iron rod can be shaved down to a needle. Hence, most Russian men become sexually impotent even before they reach the age of fifty.”
Wen Xinya was greatly taken aback by Yueze’s shrewd remark, and she was certain that he must have had a feud with Russians.
Yueze burst into laughter and said, “Sis-in-law, when those men flirted with you just now, did they tell you that your eyes are as bright as the stars in the sky, that your lips are like the most beautiful roses in the world, and that your elegance… is pure like the water in River Volga?”
Wen Xinya immediately freshened up.
Yueze continued, “Sis-in-Law, those words have been told to millions of women before. These men are often hurling sexist vulgarities. How respectful can they be towards women? They don’t adore women at all…”
Wen Xinya leaned closer to Si Yiyan and asked softly, “Does Yueze have an enemy in Russia?”
Yueze was so shrewd and relentless.
Si Yiyan glanced at Yueze before saying, “Can’t you tell? Yueze is of Russian and Chinese descent.”
Greatly taken aback, Wen Xinya subconsciously looked at Yueze, whom she found to be extraordinarily ravishing during their first meeting. He was just like an exquisite doll. After hearing Si Yiyan’s words, she suddenly discovered that Yueze’s features were much more pronounced than those of average Chinese and his eyes were light brown in color. Although it was not obvious, she could tell that he was Eurasian.
Yueze smiled and asked, “Sis-in-Law, are you very surprised?”
Shaking her head, Wen Xinya answered, “No, but I do have some thoughts. It’s no wonder that they say the most beautiful people in the world are those of mixed ethnicities. It’s really true.”
Russian-Chinese were the most stunningly gorgeous people in the world. Anatoli was of Russian and Chinese descent too!
“Sis-in-Law, do you find me to be very pretty?” Yueze was slightly stunned and he could tell from the clear look in her eyes that she was not lying. However, it made sense because… the Chinese had never been racially prejudiced. They were the most gracious people in the world.
Slightly bewildered, Wen Xinya wondered, Must he still ask? Isn’t it obvious enough?
Si Yiyan explained, “Yueze’s Father is an aristocrat and his mother is a high-class escort.”
Wen Xinya immediately understood what he meant. Those so-called aristocrats had always regarded pure-bloods with respect. In their eyes, those of mixed-blood were deemed as lowly and ill-bred individuals. Not only did they discriminate against them, they also criticised, mocked and chastised them.
As a lowly prostitute, Yueze’s Mother was disapproved by the Russians and it was no wonder that he resented them so greatly.
Si Yiyan continued, “Did you know that Russian men are allowed to have multiple wives? Yueze’s Mother thought that she could have a different life and become a wealthy man’s wife after giving birth to Yueze. However, her plan did not work out in the end. Although Yueze got to join the family, his mother passed away.
Wen Xinya’s heart almost jumped out of her chest. A prostitute! That was such a lowly and shameless status. How could the Russian aristocrats possibly accept her? At last, death was her only fate. “How about Yueze?”
Carrying the blood of a shameless prostitute and being born to such a horrible family must have been the unluckiest thing to happen to him!
Si Yiyan said, “Yueze left that family when he was twelve.”
Wen Xinya held her breath. Leaving the family… meant that he had given up everything—his blood kin, status, wealth, rights to his inheritance, as well as all the privileges that he originally enjoyed. It meant that he had put himself in a disadvantageous position as a stray dog of society. He had begun living life like an animal.
Does everyone around Si Yiyan have an unusual past, just like him?
Does the silly Xu Xianghu have a terrible past as well?
With a cold expression on his face, Yueze said, “Sis-in-Law, you must be surprised! Those so-called aristocrats of the upper-class society seem glorious on the surface, but they’re the most lewd and terrifying. Hehe… that man whom I used to call my Father has an affair with his brother’s Wife, and that old fogy whom I used to call my Grandfather actually raped a servant at home… Tsk, tsk… you must find it unbelievable! These people are despicable and shameless.”
Wen Xinya was at a loss for words.
She suddenly felt extremely chilly.
In her previous lifetime, she had witnessed the ugliest sides of society and hence, she understood exactly what Yueze meant.
But, why wasn’t she as courageous as Yueze back then, to break free from the unlucky fate that she had met with?
She was just too weak at the end of the day!
Wen Xinya took a deep breath and her mind became clear. In this lifetime… she had more backup plans, rebuttals, and the choice to break free! Hence, she would strive harder in the future.
