Guide to raise my cutie husbands-Chapter 1601: Master Deng complains (2)
Master Deng had no reason to refuse. After all, he did not want to go back home and compared to walking around the street aimlessly, following Jiang Fenhua seemed a bit better.
So, he agreed and the two mers set off to buy some clothes for Qiao Lanying.
Though Jiang Fenhua did not let Qiao Shao meet with her daughter, he did not bar the rest of the Qiao family which was why he had a lot of money to spare as he went shop to shop one after another.
By the time he was satisfied with his purchase Master Deng could no longer feel his legs. The two mers were now sitting in the VIP room of the Mer Bar.
Master Deng looked around the chic bar and heard the sound of slow and elegant music being played behind the wooden screen.
He could notice many high-profile mers sitting in the bar. In their hands were shiny glasses which were not only exquisite but looked really pretty with the colourful liquid inside of them.
"I ordered a mocktail for you, Brother Deng," Jiang Fenhua placed the menu that was handed to him by a server and said to Master Deng. "I do not know how much you can drink, it will be troublesome if you were to get drunk."
He knew his mother and understood her too well, she wouldn't bat an eye if his sisters were to make a mistake even Jiang Mingzhu who was not well liked would be given a little leeway.
But mers were not shown any mercy in the Jiang house. Wasn't this the reason why he was sent to Qiao Sha's bed despite his mother knowing fully well that Qiao Sha might kill him if she was angered to that point?
If Master Deng was to get drunk and return home, then his mother might make trouble for him.
Master Deng opened his mouth but then closed it right back. He did not think it was proper of him to tell his brother-in-law that he could drink even more than a woman.
It would not be polite to do so.
Soon their drinks were brought over and Master Deng took a look at the pink mocktail and fell in love with it at once.
"What is this called?" Master Deng asked Jiang Fenhua who smiled and answered, "Sparkle in pink dust."
This was a name that Yu Dong gave to the sparkling pink mocktail.
Master Deng had never touched a single book with his hands but even he thought that the name was very elegant and had a nice touch to it.
He picked up the glass and then took a sip of the mocktail. His eyes widened when he felt little explosions in his mouth.
"It ——It is exploding?" He brought his hand to his mouth and exclaimed in surprise. He had never ever drunk something like this before.
"Haha, isn't it fun?" Jiang Fenhua asked with a light chuckle. His eyes turned into little crescents as he laughed.
Master Deng nodded and took another sip. For him each sip was like a wonder, no matter how many times he sipped the tiny pops made him amused and happy.
Jiang Fenhua watched Master Deng sipping on the mocktail with a happy smile and asked, "Brother Deng, did something happen?"
Master Deng paused and looked at Jiang Fenhua. He gulped the sip of the drink that he had taken just now and pursed his lips.
"Brother Fenhua, it is not that I don't want to tell you. But your sister asked me to keep this matter from you as she doesn't want you to worry about her," Master Deng answered with a sigh.
His wife was a gentle woman but she had å ton of pride. She would rather break her back than become a burden on anyone.
When Jiang Fenhua heard Master Deng's words, he was already certain that there was indeed something wrong happening in the Jiang family and Jiang Mingzhu was the one who was suffering this time around.
Jiang Fenhua started wheedling Master Deng, "But brother Deng, if you tell me then maybe I will be able to help you and sister Mingzhu. I can see that you and my sister are in trouble, is it really important to hold on to your pride when your situation is like this?"
Master Deng heard Jiang Fenhua's words and hesitated. Truth be told, he was indeed a bit tempted to ask for Jiang Fenhua's help.
His wife kept telling him that it was not right of them to disturb a mer who was already married.
Not to mention, Jiang Mingzhu felt sorry for her brother who was made to do something so shameless and she could do nothing as she held no power in the Jiang family.
In fact, by the time she came to know about the incident and the scheme that her mother had come up with, everything was over.
But that did nothing to ease the guilt that Jiang Mingzhu felt for her brother.
Thus, she did not bother Jiang Fenhua once he was married off to Qiao Sha.
But at the same time, she could not help him either as her own position in the family was rather complicated and no one in the Qiao family took her seriously as her own family didn't.
Master Deng persisted for a while but under the coaxing of Jiang Fenhua, he sighed and said, "Alright, alright. I will tell you the truth but you are not allowed to say anything to your sister or else she would be furious with me."

He did not want to fight Jiang Mingzhu when no one in the family cared for him.
He sighed again and relayed everything to Jiang Fenhua whose brows started to furrow and by the time Master Deng was finished speaking, his brows were so tightly squeezed that he could kill a fly with it.
"You mean to say that my elder sister and second sister are forcing Sister Mingzhu to raise them as well as their family and mother is not saying anything?"
