....Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Was her alcohol tolerance that bad?
After staring blankly at Lu Zhi for a while, Jiang Yining blinked her sparkling eyes and asked carefully, “Are you lying to me?”
She had gotten drunk with Lin Yan before, she would always sleep obediently and had never done anything overboard.
“Do I look like I’m lying?”
Lu Zhi was serious, and there was not a hint of falsehood in his eyes.
Jiang Yining was speechless.
Did she really molest him last night?
Just as she was considering whether she should apologize.
Lu Zhi patted her head and said with a faint smile, “It seems that drunkenness really makes people stupid. A person who is usually so smart has become so stupid.”
Jiang Yining instantly understood that he was playing a prank on her.
She could not help but explode and scolded, “Lu Zhi, you’re really getting worse.”
“Is that so?” Lu Zhi asked calmly.
“Of course!” Jiang Yining nodded heavily to express her strong dissatisfaction.
When she first met him, he was a very serious and stoic person.
Why did he like to joke with her now?
“You see, 1 don’t treat others like this, but 1 treat you like this. You should feel honored.”
She was speechless.
Jiang Yining chuckled inwardly and turned around, showing the back of her head to him.
She ignored him.
Lu Zhi stood rooted to the spot and maintained a smile on his lips for a long time.
Jiang Yining’s head still hurt after drinking the hangover soup. She ate some breakfast and went back to her bedroom to take a nap. When she got up again, she felt much better. She looked at the time and it was almost time for class.
She hurriedly packed her things and ran to school.
In the afternoon, she received a message from Shen Man, saying that she wanted to give her something. She hoped that Jiang Yining could go back to the old mansion to get it.
Shen Man also said that it wouldn’t take up too much of her time. It would only take about ten minutes.
This was the first time Shen Man had contacted her since she ‘married’ Lu Zhi.
Of course, Jiang Yining was more than happy to do so.
She did not care about the quarrel she had with Old Madam Lu yesterday. She took a taxi and arrived at the old mansion.
Shen Man did not expect her to come so quickly, she was a little surprised.
Then, Shen Man returned to her senses and handed Jiang Yining the things she had prepared.
“What is this?” Jiang Yining weighed it and felt that it was quite heavy.
“Open it and take a look.” Shen Man’s voice was gentle and her posture was elegant.
Jiang Yining placed the box on the table. After opening it, she found a pile of antiques inside.
Many of them were priceless.
Jiang Yining closed the box and asked, “Are you asking me to pass this to Ah Zhi?”
“No.” Shen Man’s face was slightly red as she said somewhat embarrassed, “This is… I should have given it to you on the first day you married into the Lu family. However, 1 don’t have a good relationship with All Zhi. Furthermore, my reputation is terrible. 1 was afraid that you’d look down on me, so 1 didn’t give it to you… Yining, if you don’t mind, then please take it.”
Jiang Yining looked at the beautiful and gentle woman in front of her and sighed inwardly.
She really did not know what had happened back then that made Shen Man almost strangle her own son to death.
However, after interacting with Shen Man, she felt that there was more to what happened back then.
Unfortunately, the person involved was unwilling to reveal what happened.
Jiang Yining had no choice and she could only take it slow…
Jiang Yining hugged the gift box and returned it to Shen Man “Mom, 1 don’t mind at all. But this gift is too expensive. I can’t accept it.”
This was a gift Shen Man had prepared for her real daughter-in-law. She was not qualified to accept it.
When Shen Man saw her rejection, her eyes immediately turned red. She said in a nasal voice, “In your heart, you still don’t recognize me as your mother-in-law, right?”
“Mom, it’s not like that.”
Jiang Yining had a headache.
She wasn’t afraid of others using force, nor was she afraid of others using underhanded means.
She was most afraid of the people around her being soft…
Shen Man cried silently and did not speak.
This attitude clearly showed that she felt that Jiang Yining despised her.
Jiang Yining tried to persuade her for a while, but seeing that she didn’t have any intention of stopping, she had to change her mind and say, “Mom, I’ll take it. Please don’t cry.”
“You will really accept it?”
“Yes.”
Shen Man smiled through her tears and held Jiang Yining’s hand tightly. She said, “Yining, thank you.”
Jiang Yining sighed.
This was the first time she had met someone who forced an expensive gift on her and even wanted to thank her.
She really had no choice.
But what she did not know was that Shen Man actually wanted to give her some checks and gold bars.
But she was afraid that she would scare Jiang Yining. Therefore, she didn’t give them all in one go.
“Yining, you can go back first. You just had a conflict with the old lady yesterday. It’s not good to bump into her.” Shen Man really wanted her to stay and talk to her. This was because there was no one in this old mansion that she could confide in. But she didn’t want to put Jiang Yining in a difficult position.
“Okay, Mom, I’ll come and see you another day.”
Jiang Yining carried the heavy box and walked out.
After walking a little further away, she turned back to look in the direction of Shen Man’s bedroom and realized that she was still standing at the door.
She waved at Shen Man and that was when Shen Man finally went back in.
Jiang Yining walked to the stairs in the living room and looked down from above. It was only then that she realized that the living room had been filled with people, and without exception, they were all young women.
Among them were Tao Niannian and Chen Kexin.
She silently wanted to retreat and not cause trouble, but the others might not have the same idea as her.
A sharp-eyed woman noticed her and immediately shouted, “Are you a maid of the Lu family? Why are you furtively hugging something?”
Chen Kexin heard the sound and looked at the stairs.
She saw Jiang Yining standing on the second floor.
Chen Kexin’s face turned cold.
She had already heard from her grandmother that Jiang Yining had made her faint from anger yesterday.
This b*tch actually dared to come to the Lu family’s house today?
Tao Niannian naturally noticed Jiang Yining and her pretty little face was filled with anger. Recently, Jiang Yining has been very arrogant. She had teamed up with Lu Zhi to scam a lot of money out of the Tao family!
If it weren’t for Jiang Yining, she wouldn’t have been homeless and have to live with the Lu family in such a shameful manner.
Tao Niannian would definitely not let Jiang Yining go.
She went up the stairs and said arrogantly, “Oh, Young Madam Lu, you’re here. Did you find out that I’ve invited a socialite from A-City’s upper-class society so you’re eager to join in the fun and expand your connections?”
Jiang Yining smiled slightly and said with a threatening aura, “You’re the only one who’s holding a party at someone else’s house. Miss Tao, you’re living under someone else’s roof. At least you should have some awareness not to cause trouble for others. Now, you’re still stirring up trouble everywhere. I’m afraid the Lu family won’t be able to tolerate you any longer.”
The smile on Tao Niannian’s face froze.
Jiang Yining walked downstairs unhurriedly.
Chen Kexin blocked her way and said, “Jiang Yining, Niannian is a distinguished guest invited by the old madam. What right do you have to say that about her?”
Jiang Yining said in a clear voice, “If 1 remember correctly, you’re just an ordinary maid of the Lu family now, while I’m the Young Mistress of the Lu family. What right do you have to question me?”
Chen Kexin was rendered speechless..
