Chapter 147: Elderly Lady Gu’s Order
“What? A villa?” Elderly Lady Gu was astonished. Her countenance became livid.
‘Well, she hasn’t gotten the news.’
Yan Yuxiao feigned an aggrieved look, “Hasn’t Zijin told you? He took a villa at the seaside, saying he would live with Qin Muxuan and Xiaobai.”
“What?”
Elderly Lady Gu was about to vent her anger, but suppressed her wrath out of the blue. She humphed and calmed down.
There was no substitute for experience. Elderly Lady Gu had encountered various situations. She could handle a bombshell composedly.
Though she was surprised that Qin Muxuan could coax Zijin into doing everything, Elderly Lady Gu said indifferently, “Now that you know this, why don’t you take action?”
Yan Yuxiao was speechless. She didn’t know what Elderly Lady Gu meant. ‘Does she detest Qin Muxuan so much that she wants to keep Qin Muxuan away from Gu Zijin? Does she like me? She’d rather help me become Zijin’s wife?’
Thinking about that, Yan Yuxiao was a little delighted. However, she was circumspect. She dared not make an assumption, so she raised her head, asking, “Grandma Gu, what do you mean?”
Elderly Lady Gu chuckled, “Well, I must be more explicit. Zijin’s obsessed with Qin Muxuan. I don’t think she’s an elegant woman. I prefer you.”
The old lady finally spoke frankly. Yan Yuxiao then understood.
‘She means she will support me! I can contend for Zijin with Qin Muxuan!’
‘But I just came back from the villa compound. Zijin has prepared a house for Qin Muxuan. He’s ready to move in with her! Do I still have a chance?’
“But Grandma Gu, you know that Zijin doesn’t care about me. No matter what I do, he always ignores me… He is enamored with Qin Muxuan. I’m out of luck.”
There was a hint of depression in Yan Yuxiao’s words, which could show her deep love towards Gu Zijin. However, she couldn’t win his heart.
The distressed voice hurt Elderly Lady Gu’s heart. She smiled, “Silly girl, Zijin’s enchanted by that woman. It’s impossible to wake him up in a short time, but… you can use your wits!”
Yan Yuxiao tried to fathom what Elderly Lady Gu really meant, ‘Can I do anything drastic? If I can play tricks, I have the confidence to win.’
“Do you mean…”
“Well, you can figure it out yourself. As long as you can win him back, I will have your back. Don’t worry.”
After finishing the sentences, the old lady closed her eyes. She then opened her mouth, “Zijin will be back for dinner tonight with Qin Muxuan. I will send her away with an excuse. It’s up to you later. I don’t care how you do it and whether it works or not.”
With the support and approval of Elderly Lady Gu, Yan Yuxiao was confident. ‘Grandma Gu’s determined to get rid of Qin Muxuan! But… does she really like me?’
‘Even if it’s not true, the situation is to my advantage. If I can drive Qin Muxuan away, no one will take Zijin away.’
She gave a knowing smile and replied, “Got it. Zijin will fall for me!”
Elderly Lady Gu nodded, which meant she was waiting for the good news.
Yan Yuxiao was cheerful. ‘Though the fact that Rose Princess belongs to Qin Muxuan distresses me, I have no choice. It’s because that woman’s good at seducing a man. She even steals Zijin’s heart.’
‘Gu Zijin will be mine tonight!’
‘Even if I can’t win his heart, I can taste him first!’
A sinister smile flashed across Yan Yuxiao’s face. She commenced to work on the plan.
Gu Zijin came back from the company with Qin Xiaobai and Qin Muxuan at about 7 o’clock. Holding Qin Xiaobai’s hand, Qin Muxuan walked beside Gu Zijin.
The dinner was ready. The three were about to sit down and grab some food. At the same time, Yan Yuxiao popped up in an instant.
Noticing Guzijin, she stepped forward, “Zijin, you’re back.”
She approached him, but he dodged. Not glancing at her, Gu Zijin said expressionlessly, “Why are you here?”
“Grandma Gu invited me here for dinner. More people can have more fun!”
Yan Yuxiao didn’t feel embarrassed for Gu Zijin had rejected her a thousand times. It was not a big deal. The saying that people couldn’t learn how to ski unless they were falling was her motto.
Hearing this, Gu Zijin glimpsed at his grandmother. He said, not knowing the old lady’s intention, “For dinner? Well, take a seat. Don’t walk around. That’s annoying.”
Yan Yuxiao was not in a hurry. She grabbed a bottle of wine and filled up his glass. She then sat next to Elderly Lady Gu. Not sitting close to Gu Zijin, she was afraid that he would get suspicious.
Qin Muxuan peered at Yan Yuxiao coldly, ‘What’s she gonna do? She doesn’t pester Zijin today and becomes obedient. It’s weird.’
Yan Yuxiao looked over the next moment. Their eyes met.
They didn’t like each other, so they looked away instantly. Both lowered their heads and concentrated on the tasty food.
Gu Zijin hadn’t drunk water since he came back, so he was thirsty. Taking the wine in front of him, he gulped it down and felt better.
Qin Muxuan didn’t like Gu Zijin’s family, so she ate as soon as possible. It was embarrassing for her to stay here. After finishing the last bite, she rose to her feet.
Noticing that, Elderly Lady Gu coughed. She turned to Qin Muxuan, “Come to my room when you’re ready. I have something to tell you.”
“Me?” Qin Muxuan squinted her eyes in confusion. However, she couldn’t refuse the elderly woman before everyone since Elderly Lady Gu had spoken out. Qin Muxuan had no choice but to nod. “Okay.”
Elderly Lady Gu stood up and said to Nanny Chen, “Send the food to my room.”
“Yes, Madam.”
Nanny Chen helped Elderly Lady Gu walk toward her room, leaving others dumbfounded in the dining room. Ye Han didn’t know the truth. She frowned in confusion.
Gu Zijin was worried that his grandmother would hurt Qin Muxuan. Rising to his feet, he nodded to Ye Han, “Mom, I have something to do. I need to go back to my room.”© NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.
Only silence filled the dining room.
Ye Han reckoned that the atmosphere became weirder.
