Jiang Li’s condition hasn’t been great lately either, often losing focus when alone and procrastinating on reporting to school. The events of that night seed suspicious in every way; what role did Yun Ya actually play in all of this?
He really wanted to ask Yun Ya directly, but hadn’t found the right opportunity.
"How’s the child? You don’t seem well lately; haven’t been resting properly?" Pei Ying’s eyes showed concern.
Yan Zi subconsciously glanced at Jiang Li, who was sitting opposite, and slightly clenched her fist: "I’m fine. I heard Aunt has disappeared; what’s going on?"
Pei Ying sighed: "Who knows, a living person just disappeared. It shows that the Yan Family is not exactly safe either."
"Aunt has been managing the family for so many years, always having her way. Did she offend so enemy?"
"I hope Sister-in-law returns safe and sound, Amitabha." Pei Ying folded her hands and recited a Buddhist chant, her expression calm and compassionate.
"Now that the house power has fallen into Third Aunt’s hands, she’s always been unreasonable. Mom, make sure she doesn’t find an opportunity to bully you."
Pei Ying smiled contentedly: "Third Sister-in-law is reasonable. Don’t worry so much about . I’ve been married to the Yan Family for years, and though I spend my days with ancient texts and Buddhas, I am not entirely unaware of the world. It’s you I’m more concerned about. How are you getting along with your mother-in-law? Lady Jiang is a gentle person, not one for complicated matters."
At this, Yan Zi snorted lightly: "Mother-in-law is fine; she wouldn’t dare bully . But that sister-in-law, haha... she’s ridiculous. I think she just inherently dislikes . Who does she think she is...?" Upon saying this, she rembered Jiang Li was sitting opposite her, quickly covering her mouth.
Jiang Li, lost in thought, didn’t notice and certainly didn’t catch what Yan Zi said.
Yan Zi exhaled in relief and raised her hand to gently pat her chest.
Pei Ying, however, frowned slightly, "Hanbi is an educated and reasonable lady; surely she won’t trouble you too much."
"Educated and reasonable? I think she’s more lewd and base." Yan Zi lowered her voice and whispered sothing to Pei Ying, causing Pei Ying’s brows to twitch slightly, her expression sowhat awkward. She coughed lightly, her voice slightly stern.
"It’s not appropriate to say such things. No matter how she is, just maintain your own position."
Yan Zi pouted, "I’m not foolish."
Glancing at the door, Yan Zi said, "Why invite Ji Yunya? You know it’s uncomfortable for to see her."
Pei Ying gave her a helpless look, "You’re so grown up yet still so immature. Even if you dislike soone, don’t show it on your face. She’s your Third Aunt’s acknowledged daughter-in-law and the future matriarch of the second house. Whether it’s your Third Brother or Third Aunt, they’ll only climb higher in the future. Befriending Yun Ya brings you benefits, not harm."
"But I just don’t like her. With her kind of background, her family is a ss. I heard her mother ran off with soone when she was young, her father not only lives a scandalous lifestyle but also evades taxes. He’s currently in prison. Plus, I heard her grandmother is addicted to drugs. What kind of people are they? A daughter raised in such a family cannot possibly be presentable. Is Third Aunt blind to choose such a woman?" Yan Zi complained, having already reviewed Ji Yunya’s profile. The news online was filtered, with no unfavorable scandals about Ji Yunya. These snippets were obtained through a friend.
The first ti she found out, she was shocked. What a chaos of a family, how did Third Aunt settle on such a woman?
"No matter what she’s like, as long as your Third Aunt likes her, that’s her biggest advantage." Pei Ying said with a smile.
"But if Third Aunt doesn’t like her, then she’s nothing, right? At that point, she’d better hurry out of the Yan Family’s door. This kind of family is not one she can enter."
As the mother and daughter spoke, Yan Nangui walked in from outside, tall and imposing, his appearance handso and devilish, dazzling in the sunlight.
"Mom, Big Sister." Yan Nangui walked in with a smile, his gaze landing on Jiang Li, and said with a smile: "Brother-in-law."
Jiang Li stood up and gave him a polite smile.
Yan Zi cast a sideways glance, sowhat disdainful, "Xiao Qi, I heard you made the young lady of the Zhou Family cry. You’re really making the Yan Family proud." Her tone was quite mocking.
Yan Nangui was unbothered and sat down on the chair opposite. He raised his eyebrows slightly at her words, his eyes radiant like peach blossoms, truly devilishly charming, intoxicatingly beautiful.
