The Heiress Acts Mischievously, But Her Family Can Read Her Mind

Chapter 399: Chapter 398: Truly Crazy! Who Can Be Crazier Than Them?

Jiang Nanshu was speechless as well.

This was the first time she had seen a legit wife in modern society who knew about her husband’s mistress and was still tolerant.

The two women shared the same man and got along unusually well.

But it was tough on bystanders like them, who were inadvertently dragged into being part of their play.

Ye Yuan cursed relentlessly, “Totally insane! Who could be crazier than them, it’s just bad luck. I’ll have to make a detour whenever I see them in the future.”

He was supposed to finish work after dropping off Lu Qingyan.

He had even timed it perfectly to get home by ten, then freshen up, followed by two hours of flirting with his online girlfriend while playing “King of Glory.” Now, all his plans were ruined!

A worker’s life matters, too.

All his forced overtime was because of Bao Yan!

If he didn’t keep his online girlfriend company today, she would break up with him.

Damn it.

She had the voice of a sweet young girl.

Ye Yuan didn’t stop swearing the entire time.

He came close to cursing Bao Yan’s ancestors as well.

Jiang Nanshu twitched the corner of her mouth.

The resentment of the working class was really too heavy.

“Secretary Ye, you go on ahead. The car’s totaled and needs to be towed to the repair shop—someone will come and pick us up later,” Jiang Nanshu said.

Ye Yuan instantly became serious, his expression grave, “But… it doesn’t seem right. The boss is injured, and as a subordinate, how can I leave work first? I should take you home.”

Lu Qingyan noticed Ye Yuan’s fidgeting feet, ready to leave as soon as he was dismissed.

He sneered coldly, “Okay, then you can take me and the lady back to the villa.”

Ye Yuan’s smiling face immediately fell, “Alright.”

Lu Qingyan felt the urge to kick him a couple of times.

Ye Yuan sensed what was coming and stepped back three paces, “After hitting Mr. Bo, you can’t hit me.”

“Get the hell out of here.”

“Got it, boss.”

Having received the order, Ye Yuan sprinted away.

He hailed a cab and went home.

Jiang Nanshu raised an eyebrow, “You seem to have a good relationship with him.”

Lu Qingyan touched the bruised corner of his mouth with a hand and hissed softly, “He’s been with me for a long time.”

Jiang Nanshu looked at him helplessly, “I told you not to fight. Look at your face, it’s all swollen.”

At this, Lu Qingyan flashed a rare, triumphant smile. “This little injury of mine, take a look at his face. He won’t be able to show it in public for at least a week.”

If it weren’t for living in a society ruled by law, he would really want to kill him.

It would’ve been okay if the conflict was just with him. Targeting his wife was out of line.

But in the current situation, Bao Yan probably wouldn’t just let it go.

Lu Qingyan’s mind raced, trying to figure out a way to prevent any future troubles.

Jiang Nanshu, seeing that he was still comparing injuries with Bao Yan, pinched his waist in annoyance, “Don’t worry about me. He can’t hurt me. I’ve reached the highest level in taekwondo and sanshou. I can handle a few people on my own, but if there are more, I’ll need to consider my options.”

Lu Qingyan sighed, “I’ll assign you a few bodyguards. Having someone to protect you when you go out will give me peace of mind.”

Jiang Nanshu caught on to the important point, “So, you’re still going to let me go out?”

Lu Qingyan sneered with a smile, “Are you my prisoner? I need to keep you locked up, but you just need to remember to come home.”

Jiang Nanshu looked at him somewhat dazedly.

She didn’t know if it was because she said today she was willing to have a child, or if he had come to his senses.

The whole person wasn’t as extreme as the previous days, he actually seemed much milder, but his temper was still nasty, either a cold face or a sneer, and today after the fight, his hair was a complete mess.

In the end, Lu Qingyan didn’t go to the hospital but instead called a family doctor to come for a home check-up.

With medicine applied to his temple and gauze taped on, the doctor prescribed some medications for Lu Qingyan to take daily on schedule.

Then, the doctor left the villa.

That night.

Lu Qingyan, holding his own pillow and expressionless, went to his own room, leaving Jiang Nanshu alone in the guest room.

It was truly peculiar.

Usually, he had to sleep next to her.

Jiang Nanshu couldn’t be bothered with him; she was happier sleeping alone.

She could chat with Xu Xi.

The two made plans to go shopping together the next day.

Then, Jiang Nanshu complained to Xu Xi about the incident where Bao Yan blocked their car today.

It was Bao Yan who went crazy and crashed into their car.

Not only did they not have to compensate, but Bao Yan also had to pay them a lump sum, or else he would be locked up for a few days.

Xu Xi’s voice came through the video, “What? Xu Xingwan really disappeared?”

At that moment, she was reading a script. The studio had arranged for her to be a variety show host. Since she was a new host, there would be an experienced host to guide her first, making this her first show; hence, she was taking this hosting job very seriously.

Jiang Nanshu sat in front of her vanity supporting a facial mask, “Anyway, that’s what Bao Yan said, where would I go to find his woman for him? He just thinks that I’ve hidden his woman away. Am I too full to hurry? To hide Xu Xingwan, it’s absurd.”

She was truly driven mad by this bunch of people.

She couldn’t help but complain again, “In the end, his wife, who is pregnant for five or six months, picked him up. I really don’t understand what he’s thinking. He can’t be faithful to his wife, nor to his lover. He is nothing but scum!”

In the whole book, the emotional storyline of Bao Yan, this major villain of the book, was the most outrageous.

If the plot hadn’t changed…

Jiang Nanshu thought hard and seemed to remember that Bao Yan managed to acquire the Jian Family and became equal with Lu Qingyan. With such status, he wouldn’t have to consider a family alliance through marriage, because he himself was capital and didn’t need any bolstering; instead, others would only need to ingratiate themselves with him.

So, he should be marrying Xu Xingwan, with no such person as Miss Zhao in between.

Actually, Bao Yan could avoid marrying Miss Zhao, it’s just that his ambition was too great.

And Xu Xingwan, with her mediocre status, couldn’t give him any support, not even the slightest help.

In face of ambition, love could be put aside. His own choice of marriage for alliance was his own betrayal of his feelings.

Xu Xi said indignantly, “Is he sick? Xu Xingwan is his woman, why’s he blaming you when he’s the one who didn’t keep an eye on her? It’s not like you and Xu Xingwan share the same bed. Back in school, Wanwan was still good. She said that after graduation, she wanted to work in another province. But I never thought she would end up like this. Jiangjiang, I’m telling you, I know now why Wanwan stayed so far away from us.”

Jiang Nanshu, “?”

“Isn’t it because of her backer Bao Yan and his business conflicts with my family?”

Xu Xi frowned and grimaced, “It’s not entirely because of that. Half the reason is that Bao Yan was afraid we’d instill some ideas in her to leave him, so he used me as a threat. As long as she got near me, he’d send someone to mess with me, eventually preventing me from studying properly. This man is despicable. When I first found out, I really wanted to barge into the Bo Family and scratch that sanctimonious face of Bao Yan to pieces!”

Jiang Nanshu, “…”

If someone wants to leave, do they need others to instill that idea?

Only if she herself doesn’t want to leave, who could trap whom?

Look at Xu Xingwan now, she’s still missing, at least for two days.

On the third day, Jiang Nanshu received news from Xu Xi.

Xu Xingwan was dead.
