BXBX NOVEL Chapter 366 - Enemies
Chapter 366: Enemies
Miss Gu Yan always came with a package. Wherever she was, there would be Ye Qian.
For one, Ye Qian was the brain behind Gu Yan. For two, Gu Yan realized Ye Qian’s value even more after Lu Yan’s return. Gu Yan believed that if she helped Ye Qian when she was down, Ye Qian would help her even more in the future. Also, Gu Yan would need Ye Qian’s help to fight against Lu Yan.
Thus Ye Qian accompanied Gu Yan to the Jing Family Mansion ‘reluctantly’.
Jing Yan welcomed Ye Qian with open arms. This brainless woman worshipped Ye Qian the most.
If there was anyone in the Jing Family who didn’t welcome Ye Qian and Gu Yan, it was the eldest young madam, Nanyang.
Nanyang was about to give birth. Her emotions were unstable. Nanyang couldn’t stand Ye Qian moving in and out of her house so freely. Hence, Nanyang made a fuss about it every day. She threatened to throw Ye Qian out.
Auntie Lan had a bad hobby… Gossiping.
Auntie Bai Rui knew that Auntie Lan was only interested in the Jing Family’s gossip, so she decided to indulge her friend. To entertain Auntie Lan, Auntie Bai Rui would approach the servants at the Jing Family mansion to acquire some ‘insignificant’ info.
The servants knew Auntie Bai Rui was now under the protection of the Seventh Master, and she also had the support of Mrs. Lan, so they were glad to help Auntie Bai Rui. They were happy to ‘wire’ the absurd happenings at the Jing Family to Auntie Bai Rui and consequently Auntie Lan.
The rest of us found out through Auntie Lan.
To be honest, I almost forgot about the existence of Nanyang.
Lu Yan brought her up not too long ago, and only then did I remember this cousin of mine.
I had too many important things to deal with. I gradually forgot about Nanyang and the horrible things she did. However, that didn’t mean that I had chosen to forgive her. I wouldn’t forgive her, but I didn’t take any action because she was not worth my time and effort.
Plus, I believed in karma. Nanyang and Li Yuan would eventually meet their comeuppance.
When I saw the pregnant Nanyang marry Jing Ning, I knew tragedy was awaiting her. Nanyang was very clear about this too, so her life was uncomfortable, and she was wary of everything.
Nanyang knew better than anyone else that Jing Ning only loved Ye Qian. Nanyang was never featured in Jing Ning’s heart. This marriage was basically her one-woman show.
Nanyang’s fear reached its peak when Ye Qian moved into the mansion with Gu Yan.
The maid painted a vivid picture for Auntie Lan and Auntie Bai Rui. “Madams, you have no idea, but our eldest young madam insists on waiting for the young master at the door every day despite her big belly. As soon as the young master returns, she will stick to him and never leave his side. She will not allow the young master to have any alone time with Miss Ye!”
Auntie Lan’s eyes widened. “Isn’t that going to be very tiring?”
In Auntie Lan’s eyes, women didn’t need to watch over men. It was the other way round.
The maid was a good storyteller. “Madam Lan, if our eldest young madam has even one-tenth of your beauty and intelligence, she wouldn’t be so lacking in confidence!”
Flattery always worked. Auntie Lan was very pleased and urged, “And then?”
The maid knew she would be heavily rewarded, so she sighed dramatically and said, “But Madam, as you know, the more you restrict a man, the man he wants to be free, right?”
Auntie Lan nodded heavily.
The maid continued, “Furthermore, considering how obvious the eldest young madam is, even an idiot will know her intention, yes?”
Auntie Lan nodded. “And Ye Qian is not stupid. In fact, she’s very shrewd!”
