n“Yes, I trust Madam. I’m entrusting my future in your hands! I’ll be sure to do a good job!” Lin Qingya lifted her head with a look of resolution that she would perform well in this matter.

n“Great, you may take your leave, then.” After getting a definite answer from her, Bai Xuexian waved her out.

nAs soon as the young lady stepped past the doorway, that submissive look of hers vanished and what came in place was a mocking sneer.

nNeed not fret over my tuition fees and will arrange a good job for me?

nShe’s behaving as though she’s bestowing a great favor on me by giving me that little bit of thing. Want me to do your dirty work? Jeez, dream on!

nMatchmake me and Gu Chenyi together once this matter is settled?

nOnly a fool would buy that nonsense!

nShe wants to make use of me like a fool? I’ll show her who’s the real fool here!

nLin Qingya then headed downstairs to a safe and quiet corner before adjusting her taunting look and pulling out her phone to call Gu Chenyi.

n“Chenyi, can you make a trip here to the Mus?”

n“Haven’t I told you that I don’t have time for that?” Gu Chenyi furrowed his brows. He had already declined her invitation to attend Matriarch Mu’s birthday feast together the day before.

nYet now, she was calling him about this again.

n“I know you’re busy. Still, can’t you squeeze some time out? I heard that Xiao Huan—”

n“What about Xiao Huan?” asked the man frantically at once.

nShe could hear the anxiousness in his voice, and it infuriated her so much that her hands were all balled up. His voice was filled with impatience when he was speaking with her, but at the mention of that b*tch, it became full of anxiousness and concern!

n“From what I heard, Xiao Huan will be attending Old Madam’s birthday feast with that old and ugly man and wants to announce her marriage to the public. If she were to do so, in the case that she repents and realizes her mistake in the future such that she wants a divorce, everyone will have known that she has married an old man for money. By then, her life will be ruined!

n“I want to dissuade her from doing so, but she surely won’t listen to my advice. I’m really at a loss here, so I thought to ask you to come over and try dissuading her.”

nEver since Mu Huan had gotten married to him, Bao Junyan had eaten only one meal with the Mus. No one, other than the Mus, had ever met her marriage partner.

nAlthough Lin Qingya might have heard from Mu Kexin that Bao Junyan was, in fact, a dashing man and not at all old and ugly, she still went on describing him as one so that Gu Chenyi could rush over and play hero to save the damsel in distress.

n“I’ll be right there!” blurted Gu Chenyi before he ended the call.

nShe hastily said, “Come around from the back door, I’ll be waiting there for you.”

n“Why the back door?” He wrinkled his brows.

n“Everyone, including Xiao Huan’s husband, would know about your arrival if you were to come in from the front. And if he finds out that you’re her ex, he’ll definitely not give you the chance to be alone with her.” Matriarch Mu must never find out about today’s plan, and so, he could only secretly sneak in.

nHe reckoned that her words made sense. “Alright. I’ll give you a call when I arrive.”

n“Okay.” After the call ended, her face became contorted with rage at the thought of the guy impatiently rushing over at the mention of her nemesis.

nSoon enough, however, she assumed her usual gentle and elegant look.

nNo matter how much you miss Mu Huan, you’ll be mine after tonight!

nFrom then on, I’ll be the only one in your eyes!

nUpstairs…

nBai Xuexian was about to change her clothes when her mother-in-law walked in on her.

n“Mother,” she greeted with bowed head.
