Chapter 339.2: Slap After Slap
Because her heart was connected with Li Hong Yuan’s, knowing that regardless how many people have delusions, he all won’t have others, that’s why, towards these little demons, Jing Wan perhaps would feel uncomfortable inside, but as long as they don’t come looking, she also won’t have them taken seriously. But, the things that have happened on Li Hong Yuan, she genuinely heartached for him. It was still okay if the Pei clan had a bit of genuine feelings towards him, but in reality, they just want to use him. And if they can’t achieve their goal, they will just begin scheming. This kind of so-called family, why would one want? It was better for them to all thoroughly die off cleanly.
Probably not expecting that she would suddenly lash out, the others were all somewhat frightened. Pei Xiu Ying, in certain aspects, in the end, was meticulously trained by the Pei clan leader, so she didn’t shrink back, directly gazing upon Jing Wan, “Some things, afraid, what wangfei says doesn’t count. Prior to leaving, great-grandfather had handed over something to this commoner, needing to personally give to wangye.”
“Is that so? Fine, then just let wangye personally say it, just seeing on behalf of old madam.” In the entire Pei clan, afraid, it was just this one that genuinely cared about her husband. “——–Go see whether wangye has returned or not. If he has, invite wangye over.”
Did Li Hong Yuan go out? Naturally no. However, this while, he indeed had a guest. When the people of the Pei clan came over, Min Yu Han also arrived immediately after. Although he knew that Jin Qinwang won’t suffer a loss, he still couldn’t help but worry. Since he was unable to sit still at home, he just directly paid a visit.
In Li Hong Yuan’s eyes, his own wife dealing with those people was more than enough, yet now needed him to step in?
“That Pei clan old madam seems to purely want to meet wangye. Most likely wangfei felt compassionate.” Gong mama explained.
“She’s precisely softhearted.” In Li Hong Yuan’s eyes, that so called maternal grandmother, whether it was sincere feelings or fake feelings, misery or sorrow, what did it have to do with him? However, since his wife hopes for him to meet, then he’ll just go meet. Li Hong Yuan got up, saying to Min Yu Han, “Do as you please.”
“Wangye, can this commoner also go have a look? That Pei clan old madam, no matter what, is still considered one’s elder.”
Li Hong Yuan glanced at him, “Do as you wish.”
Jin Qinwang appeared rather quickly. Actually, everyone was all well aware whether or not he’d actually gone out.
However, Min Yu Han didn’t appear together with him, temporarily hiding to the side. Li Hong Yuan also didn’t bother with him.
Hei Mei and Bai Shao appropriately moved over a chair for Li Hong Yuan. Li Hong Yuan lifted the helm of his gown and directly sat down. Everyone all greeted in succession.
Li Hong Yuan perfunctorily waved his hand, “Enough. You wanted to see this prince? Now that you’ve seen, quickly say what you want to say.”
Looking at Li Hong Yuan from such close distance, the Pei clan leader madam, for a moment, practically went foolish, staring in a daze. Merely separated by a few steps, she tremblingly extended her hand, seemingly wanting to touch him. Just, meeting with Li Hong Yuan’s completely cold gaze that was like a sheet of ice, she seemingly woke up a little, tremblingly having her hand retracted. Just, her tears uncontrollably tumbled down. She appeared as if wanting to stop them with all her might, but the more it was like this, the more she was unable to.
Unfortunately, even so, Li Hong Yuan still didn’t have the slightest emotional stirring.
Jing Wan carefully looked over. Her husband and this Pei clan leader madam were quite similar looking. Just, one has already aged, while one was still in his prime. If one didn’t look closely, one was simple unable to tell. What was relatively obvious was still the eyes. However, the spirit in the eyes was nevertheless worlds apart. All say, for two completely identical people, if one’s gaze was weak and helpless, while the other was unswerving and cold, the feeling given off will be complete opposites. After a few more glances, she just felt her interest waning. If switched with another person, Jing Wan perhaps can still sympathize somewhat, but the people of the Pei clan, sorry, her heart right now was just like a rock, unable to soften even if she wanted to. Turning her head, and with a ‘kacha’, she clipped another chunk of the flower spray.
“Someone come, see out the guest.” Li Hong Yuan wasn’t interested in wasting time like this.
The Pei clan leader madam was like as if struck by lightning, uncontrollably crying even more, “Guan Guan, Guan Guan, mother is sorry to you, sorry to you…………….” She appeared as if she was able to collapse.
The young ladies of the Pei clan hurriedly went forward to support, pouring water and soothing her breathing. However, Li Hong Yuan and Jing Wan, as well as the people under them, all coldly watched from the side.
“Isn’t wangye’s heart a little too cold? All these years, great-grandmother has always been thinking of you constantly, frequently shedding tears…………” Pei Xiu Ying furrowed her brows, very disapprovingly looking to Li Hong Yuan, very much having a bit of ‘not fearing anything at all’ imposing manner. Seemingly, for the sake of her great-grandmother, she dared to confront anything.
Li Hong Yuan’s gaze turned towards her, and she unyieldingly met his gaze. Just, standing at Jing Wan’s angle, one was able to see her faintly adjust her stance. Roughly picturing, from Li Hong Yuan’s position, one should be able to perfectly see her most perfect side. If switched with another man, nine out of ten would be attracted by the resolute and daring, yet also stunningly beautiful her. And afterwards, after fooling around some more, they for the most part can go roll around together.
Jing Wan inwardly tsk-ed. Just, unfortunately, the withered flower has the intention, but the flowing water was heartless. Moreover, who was Li Hong Yuan, can he be seduced by this bit of trick? Just as expected………….
“A dancing clown.” Li Hong Yuan’s voice was cold like icicles, looking to Pei Xiu Ying like looking at a dead person.
Pei Xiu Ying’s body shivered, and all her vigor crumbled down. The person was still that person, even her posture was still roughly the same, but the feeling she gave off was exceptionally unsightly, as if a completely different person from before.
This was precisely the outcome of being utterly fearless in front of the living Enma!
The Pei clan leader madam was staring at Li Hong Yuan the whole time, and in the end, forcibly endured and didn’t collapse. Seeing her great-granddaughter completely stifled by Li Hong Yuan, she ultimately was unable to bear inside, tremblingly reaching out to hold Pei Xiu Ying’s hand.
Pei Xiu Ying held her hand, immediately just turning around, seemingly bending down naturally, “Great-grandmother, how are you?”
She did see Pei Xiu Ying’s concern towards her, yet it was pitifully little. Even more was just making use of this opportunity to break away from her awkward dilemma. Although towards this great-granddaughter, her heart has already turned cold, but at this time, her heart still uncontrollably pulse in pain. However, right now, she was actually very clear-headed. For the sake of her outer grandson’s reputation, she absolutely cannot collapse here. She forcibly stood up, “Everything is all this commoner’s fault. To have bothered wangye and wangfei today, this commoner will take one’s leave right away.”
Leave? How can Pei Xiu Ying leave. She already realized, Jin Qinwang wasn’t someone that can be seduced by beauty, but the more it was like this, the more she wanted to conquer him. However, she has already left behind a bad impression on him. To want to advance, she must first stay behind. Only that way can she continue plotting for the future. “Great-grandmother, there’s no hurry. ————-Great-grandfather has a gift for wangye. Why don’t wangye have a look?”
In this moment, Jing Wan’s feelings towards this beauty thoroughly plummeted into the abyss. Anyone with a discerning eye can all tell that her great-grandmother was unwell, yet for the sake of her own goal, she was still able to forcibly waste time here. According to her understanding, Pei clan leader madam very much loved this great-granddaughter. Really is cruel and unscrupulous, less than an animal. Indeed very much like the Pei clan leader, that old bastard, selfish and self-serving.
“Mama, go let someone invite the manor doctor over to examine old madam.”
Li Hong Yuan glanced at his own wife, roughly understanding her meaning. This gift might just be that Pei old thing’s trump card. He slightly lifted his chin, giving an indication.
Eunuch Mu went forward, carefully taking the palm-sized little case that Pei Xiu Ying brought out from her sleeve. It wasn’t that he was afraid of touching a young lady’s hand. That gaze simply was just like as if afraid of touching something dirty.
Pei Xiu Ying retracted her hand, clenching into a fist in her sleeve. Regardless whether it was Jing Wan letting someone invite the doctor, or Eunuch Mu’s action, it was all like a slap landing on her face. She has never felt this humiliated before. Soon after, her other hand that was originally held by her great-grandmother also got released. Without needing to look, Pei Xiu Ying seemingly could all sense her great-grandmother’s disappointment. But she forcibly clenched her teeth and endured. She told herself, she can’t back down, absolutely can’t back down.
From beginning to end, she had her chin slightly lifted, maintaining her own dignity and pride, seemingly as if wanting to tell everyone, she wasn’t wrong!
Jing Wan declined to comment. What kind of pride was this? What kind of dignity was this? True pride and dignity was something that came from the bones. It was strong and unyielding, a kind of wonderful thing. It wasn’t while clearly being aware that one was wrong, yet stubbornly uphold, unwilling to lower one’s head. The Pei clan, even if the number one illustrious clan, at least, towards the ones that were close with the Pei clan leader, one all shouldn’t harbor any hope.
