I'm not surprised Jiang Zhi would act this way. Initially, she looked down on Lu Yanchen for being a cripple.
Later, upon learning of Lu Yanchen's status and position, even Jiang Qing had to look to him for his approval.
How could she and someone as petty as Lin Hui let go of such a sizable piece of meat?
After all, besides Lu Yanchen's weak legs, there was so much more to lure into him.
Whether it was profit or status, it was something no other man could offer.
So, today, she came prepared.
She had sprayed on the strongly flirtatious perfume "Spring Entanglement" and wore a low-cut, fitted skirt under her coat.
After removing the coat, her bare chest was a striking sight.
Especially with her deliberately crouching posture, which essentially exposed half of her.
No, did she really think Lu Yanchen was the type of Fu Xici?
I'm also a little curious. Lu Yanchen's claim of having no women, coming from a man in his thirties, is so unbelievable.
So I didn't stop him, but waited and watched. Would he be like those people?
Deliberately flattering a woman, Lu Yanchen's eyes were indifferent: "Did you wash your hands before going inside?"
Jiang Zhi's flattering smile froze at the corners of her mouth. "I..."
Lu Yanchen glared at her coldly. "I'm a mysophobe and don't like to be around dirty things. So, Miss Jiang, please stay away from me. Your smell is bothering me."
Those blunt words were like a slap in the face to Jiang Zhi.
This man, I've also been looking at my son-in-law with my mother-in-law, and the more I look at him, the more I like him!
Lin Hui quickly said, "Aren't you going to wash your hands?"
I was still chuckling when Lu Yanchen suddenly leaned over and bit the grape I hadn't finished peeling between my fingers. I was startled and said, "I forgot to wash my hands, too."
"It's okay. Taiwan smells so good."
I sheepishly went to the bathroom and met Jiang Zhi's arrogant eyes. "Jiang Wanwan, don't be so proud. If I can steal your man once, I can steal him a second time. Guess how long it will take me to take your husband?"
I squeezed some hand sanitizer on my skin and rubbed it slowly.
This fool, did she really think Fu Xici was captivated by her beauty?
It was because Fu Xici saw far more value and benefit in her than in Jiang Wanwan. Doesn't she really think she's a heartthrob?
In terms of looks, she's not as good as Jiang Wanwan.
In terms of talent, can she withstand the training I've endured like a special forces soldier since childhood?
I'm not just proficient in painting; on the contrary, it's just a hobby I use to pass the time.
To be chosen by Mr. Lu as his grandson's wife so early on, I'm no slacker!
My previous life's failure wasn't due to my personal abilities, but rather my underestimation of human nature.
I focused on developing survival skills and hobbies, ignoring the ugliness of human nature. This life's Jiang Wanwan looks, combined with my maxed-out innate skills.
Jiang Zhi thought she could easily embarrass me.
I followed her lead, "Oh?"
"It only took me three days to take Fu Xici down, sister. Are you upset? The night you were left in the library and Fu Xici brought you an umbrella, we were having fun in the hotel next door."
I raised my lips and smiled. "What's there to be upset about? You must be cheap to have him in just three days. You'd pay a thousand a night for takeout, and you're the one offering yourself up to be taken advantage of. I'm afraid you paid for the room, and you're still happy? You fool."
She really thought I was Jiang Wanwan, who would go crazy if provoked.
I calmly retorted to Jiang Zhi, making her chest heave rapidly with rage. She gasped with her mouth open like a giant toad, unable to find the words to refute. "You...just wait and see. In a month at most, we'll definitely take down Lu Yanchen!"
"Then I wish you success."
I moved closer to Jiang Zhi's ear and asked, "By the way, are you still in touch with Fu Xici?"
"What's it got to do with you?"
"We're sisters, don't blame me for not warning you. Men can't be trusted. If he can betray me, he can betray you, too."
"Shut up! How could he have done that if you hadn't been the one plotting it?"
I leaned against the doorway, my arms folded, and looked at her lazily. "Tsk, it seems he's been saying a lot of sweet nothings to you in private, sister. I really envy you."
Jiang Zhi raised her head proudly. "Of course. My father doted on me the most since I was little, and I..."
"No, you misunderstood me. I envy your innocence and idiocy. Fu Xici is keeping you hooked while he and Su Ning'an have a child. I don't know how many times they've had private conversations, and you're still dreaming. I really envy your single-celled brain. You believe everything a man says. If someone tried to sell you health supplements, you'd be a top seller in no time."
Jiang Zhi's face changed drastically after she said this.
I pointed directly at her weakness.
"You, what nonsense are you talking about! Is Su Ning'an pregnant?"
"Whether she's pregnant or not, you'll find out if you investigate."
I wiped my hands and turned to leave.
Jiang Zhi must have been thinking about this during the meal, so she was a little absent-minded.
Lin Huike didn't forget the main plot; she kicked Jiang Zhi under the table. Jiang Zhi finally realized what was happening and quickly poured a bowl of soup to Lu Yanchen. "Brother Yanchen, this is the soup I worked so hard to make for you. Have a sip."
Before I could say anything, my mother put down her chopsticks. "I spent a whole day making this soup, and you're taking all the credit with just one sentence! You just moved your mouth. What's the hard work?"
"Oh, sister, why are you arguing with a junior? He means well."
My mother had never been this angry. Ever since Jiang Wanwan committed suicide, she'd changed.
No longer such a coward.
She glared coldly at Lin Hui. "Yanchen wants his own soup, so why is your daughter so eager to get in front of him? Can't anyone understand her little tricks?" Lin Hui shivered, "Hubby, look at me. Zhi'er means well, but she's like this..."
She was like a writhing maggot. It was truly disgusting. Jiang Qing was used to always favoring her. "You don't have to make such a big deal out of it. Zhi'er just served her brother-in-law a bowl of soup, and it made a fool of herself."
Lin Hui's sardonic smile sneered, and my mother was furious. "She's been bullying me for so many years, and I've never said a word against her. Today, mother and daughter are just trying to pay New Year's greetings to the chickens. I didn't invite you over. Eat if you can, eat if you can't! Get out! Stop dirtying my land! If you want to protect this lotus fairy, get out with her."
My mother was so enraged that she actually threw the soup in her hand at Jiang Qing and Lin Hui.
"Ah! Husband, my sister's gone crazy."
"I am crazy. My cowardice in the past is what caused Wanwan to become like that. Now she's finally starting a new life. I won't give you another chance to hurt my daughter... Ugh..."
My mother didn't finish her words, and she covered her mouth and began to dry heave.
A dark thought flashed through my mind.
