Chapter 125 Childhood Sweethearts
Childhood sweethearts!?
Young Master Pei and that bitch Jiang Yuyue are childhood sweethearts?!
Xie Yuan's face twisted in disbelief. Why did Jiang Yuyue get all the good things in the world? It was one thing for her to be wealthy, but even the handsome and dashing Young Master Pei was infatuated with her!
The thought that Young Master Pei's attitude towards her had changed so drastically made Xie Yuan feel resentful, but how could she easily let go of such a good man?
"Sister, shall we go shopping again?" Xie Zhi asked tentatively.
Xie Yuan's mind was completely occupied with Pei Jingchuan's affairs.
"Why go anywhere?! Come with me to find Jiang Yuyue. Since this Young Master Pei is acquainted with her, he can surely help me clear up the misunderstanding!"
Xie Yuan angrily threw down those words and headed towards Jiang Yuyue's courtyard, while Xie Zhi rolled her eyes at her retreating figure.
It was Xie Yuan who brought up the shopping trip in the first place, insisting on dragging her along. Xie Zhi didn't want to go out and attract attention, but Xie Yuan was now making it sound like she wanted to go on her own.
However, seeing the direction Xie Yuan left in, Xie Zhi raised an eyebrow and quickly followed after her, knowing that there would probably be a good show to watch soon.
Just as Jiang Yuyue was getting sleepy after replying to Jasmine, her bedroom door was rudely pushed open.
Startled awake by the loud noise of the door being pushed open, Jiang Yuyue looked displeased. Xiao Liu, who was serving nearby, also frowned and immediately looked at the people who had entered. When she saw that it was Xie Yuan and Xie Zhi, her expression became even more impatient.
What are you two doing?
Xiao Liu was quite displeased with the uninvited attitude of the two young ladies from the Xie family. "Has the Xie family failed to teach the two young ladies any manners? How could you barge into our young lady's room without announcing yourself? Can't you see that the young lady is still sleeping!"
Seeing that a mere maid could now stand up straight and refute her, Xie Yuan felt even more furious. However, she was now living under someone else's roof, and besides, she had more important things to say at the moment, so she suppressed her dissatisfaction with Xiao Liu.
"It's already past noon, why isn't Miss Jiang up yet? Even at home, you can't be this lazy. If word gets out, who knows what people will say about Miss Jiang!"
Faced with Xie Yuan's sarcastic remarks, Jiang Yuyue's eyes were cold. She had just gotten rid of Pei Jingchuan, and now Xie Yuan was acting crazy again.
"what's up?"
Jiang Yuyue was feeling sleepy and couldn't put on a pleasant expression. Leaning against the headboard, she lazily said, "Sister Yuan'er barged into my room just to lecture me?"
"of course not."
Xie Yuan was seething with anger. Although she was unwilling to bow down to Jiang Yuyue, Jiang Yuyue was the only person who could speak to her about Pei Jingchuan's affairs, so she got straight to the point.
"I heard that you and General Pei Jingchuan are childhood sweethearts?"
"So what?"
Jiang Yuyue raised her eyelids, not expecting Xie Yuan to have come for Pei Jingchuan. "Could it be that Sister Yuan'er even wants to scold me for who I was friends with when I was young?"
"I've taken a liking to him."
Xie Yuan bluntly stated her purpose: "Since you have a good relationship with him, then help me think of a way to bring us together. He has some prejudice against me now. If you are willing to mediate, he will definitely listen to you."
"Oh?"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Yuyue narrowed her eyes slightly, her gaze towards Xie Yuan filled with scrutiny and mockery.
Now that you mention it, Jiang Yuyue does remember. Ahuan had told her before that Xie Yuan seemed to have fallen in love with Pei Jingchuan at first sight during the lantern festival. But she didn't expect that even after so many days, Xie Yuan was still thinking about him. She guessed that she must have run into Pei Jingchuan today, which is why she came to find her.
Jiang Yuyue was in a bad mood, and Xie Yuan had run into trouble again. At this moment, she really had no mood to maintain her usual amiable demeanor, and she was too lazy to indulge Xie Yuan's bad habits.
“What you said, Sister Yuan’er, is rather strange.”
Jiang Yuyue glanced at her indifferently, "I only call you 'little sister' because you're a little younger than me. Your older brother and I have long been divorced. Do you really think of me as your sister-in-law now?"
“Even though I’m still your sister-in-law, your parents are still alive and well. There’s no reason for me to worry about your marriage. Besides, you’re living and eating at my house now. You should be grateful that I haven’t asked you for money. And now you dare to ask me to act as a matchmaker for your marriage…”
Her tone was leisurely, but her words were extremely clear.
"Where did this face come from?"
Upon hearing this, Xie Yuan's face turned ashen. She had only thought that Jiang Yuyue was easy to talk to, but she never expected that Jiang Yuyue would turn out to be so ruthless!
So this is the woman's true colors after all!
"Okay, you're something else."
Xie Yuan sneered, clenching her fists even tighter. "No wonder this Young Master Pei, who clearly doesn't know me well, just gave me a thorough dressing-down, while his words were full of protection for you. It turns out you were the one secretly talking badly about me to Young Master Pei behind my back!"
The thought of this made Xie Yuan tremble with anger. At the lantern festival, the only people who knew that she had taken a liking to Pei Jingchuan were Xie Zhi and Jiang Yuyue's younger brother. Xie Zhi had no chance to meet with Young Master Pei alone, so Jiang Yuyue's younger brother must have told her about it. She must be jealous of her success and resorted to underhanded tricks to smear her in front of Young Master Pei!
Hearing Xie Yuan's words, Jiang Yuyue didn't bother to argue at all. Seeing her like this, Xie Yuan was even more convinced that she was right, and continued to berate Jiang Yuyue.
"You couldn't keep my brother's heart, so you're taking it out on me, huh?! A useless woman like you, and my brother actually went out of his way to divorce you. You deserve to be given a divorce decree and become the laughingstock of the entire city of Jinling!"
Seeing Xie Yuan getting increasingly out of line, even though Xie Zhi wanted to continue watching the spectacle, she had no choice but to step in and offer a few words of advice.
"Sister Yuan'er, what you're saying might be..."
Before she could finish speaking, Xie Yuan, who was still furious, slapped her hard across the face, leaving a clear five-finger mark on Xie Zhi's face.
"You traitorous bastard! Didn't you hear her just calling the Xie family freeloaders? And you still want to defend her?!"
Seeing Xie Yuan acting like a madwoman, Xiao Liu immediately stepped forward with a dark face. "Miss Xie, please recognize your place! If you continue to spout nonsense and act wildly here, don't blame me for having you dragged away!"
