Chapter 88
Old lady Wang was able to stand out from the crowd and was chosen by the Chen family couple, who treated Miss Chen as dearly as their own lives, to care for her. Naturally, she was very prudent and perceptive.
Therefore, after she came back with some things, she left again when she saw the Boss, who was too revered for her to approach, feeding Miss Chen a can of snow pears.
Old lady Wang had already noticed the Boss's intentions earlier. As for Miss Chen's temperament, if she wasn't willing, the Boss wouldn't acknowledge her either. Now, this was quite good, and it saved her the trouble.
Being old, Old lady Wang readily accepted the situation with her rich life experience, but Li lacked this ability.
When he suddenly saw the Boss take Miss Chen's hand, he was so startled that he almost jumped up. Old lady Wang hurriedly sent him away to calm down.
Jiang Yan smirked slyly.
Zhang Xuyun really wanted to kiss her again, but it didn't seem quite appropriate under Old lady Wang's watchful eye.
He gently stroked Jiang Yan's hand, playing with it back and forth, coaxing his cousin, "Why don't you come back with me in a few days?"
There were many clean rooms there, where he could kiss her freely.
Jiang Yan did want to go back, but her task wasn't completed yet, so she could only say she would leave after some time.
Zhang Xuyun didn't know what she was thinking, but being the kind of person he was, he always assumed the worst. He immediately looked up, gazing at Jiang Yan with a smile, but his words carried a hint of coolness, "Cousin, don't try to deceive your cousin. You just want my youthful body and to play around with me here... Once we're back at the Chen family, you'll tell Uncle that nothing happened..."
Seeing that he was getting more and more excessive and his expression was turning darker, Jiang Yan had to cover his mouth.
She arched her brows, trying to reason with him emotionally, playing the sentimental card, "You trust me..."
But Zhang Xuyun was not so easily swayed. In his budding romantic awakening, he didn't believe the sweet words of a young girl at all, only feeling satisfied after teasing his little cousin to tears.
Suddenly, he felt an itch, followed by a wet, hot sensation. Jiang Yan's eyes instinctively widened.
After making his cousin's mouth and eyes red several times, Zhang Xuyun finally left.
He had an important business deal to negotiate, but as soon as he stepped out, half of his heart felt empty, only wanting to return quickly and hold his little cousin in his arms again.
...
Jiang Yan knew this task would be easy, not requiring any tricks, but she didn't expect it to go so smoothly. She didn't even need to lift a finger, as it had already been achieved effortlessly.
It was one afternoon when Tian Yulian, the second daughter of the Tian family, came back excitedly and started exclaiming as soon as she entered, "Brother! I know the meaning of that poem! Does that person like you or something?"
Tian Yinian was originally discussing academics with Liu Yue, but upon hearing Tian Yulian's words, his heart suddenly seized up.
However, Liu Yue's inquiring gaze fell upon him. Tian Yulian was still gloating over her newfound knowledge, recounting smugly, "I knew her intentions weren't simple, why would she so kindly give gifts to our family..."
This echoed Tian Yinian's original thoughts. His face immediately burned, but being caught between his sister and childhood friend Liu Yue, he could only say, "Miss Chen comes from a wealthy and noble family, with a haughty and spoiled temperament, not suited for me. I seek a gentle and virtuous wife..."
The implication was that he looked down on Miss Chen. Tian Yulian was instantly satisfied, thinking, "No matter how rich you are, my brother still doesn't want you."
However, Liu Yue couldn't help but frown, feeling that the siblings' emotional displays were not good for the reputation of the young lady.
Coincidentally, a gossipy aunt who was visiting the Tian family overheard this. The rumor that Tian Yinian, the eldest son of the Tian family, refused to marry Miss Chen soon spread.
Mainly because the Chen family was so prominent, even the slightest bit of hearsay could cause a major stir. The rumor grew more exaggerated with each retelling, eventually becoming that Tian Yinian would rather die than marry Miss Chen.
When this news reached Jiang Yan, her first reaction was to laugh. Wasn't her mission accomplished then? As for the rest, she didn't really care.
But Tian Zhennian, who hadn't visited the Chen family for a long time, stood in front of Jiang Yan, clenching his fists and said, "I'll marry you in the future."
Jiang Yan thought he must have heard some unpleasant rumors and gave him a handful of candies to eat, candies that Zhang Xuyun had bought.
Zhang Xuyun had left, but his heart remained here. He had left one of his men at the ancestral home.
Therefore, Zhang Xuyun eventually learned of this matter, although a bit late. Just as he rushed back, he heard the rumors that Miss Chen had threatened to kill herself to force Tian Yinian to marry her.
