Chapter 24: Part 2 —This was the seat of Mrs. Jiang. Until the day she was sick of sitting here and did not want it, she would not let anyone s.n.a.t.c.h it.
Su Yan looked at Auntie w.a.n.g: "Auntie w.a.n.g, please take it to husband"s study room first then tell the kitchen staff to prepare scented tea and some light refreshments. We can"t neglect Miss w.a.n.g who is our guest."
Auntie w.a.n.g still felt uneasy, but looking at Su Yan"s expression, she couldn"t say anything. She just nodded and went away.
"Su Yan, you don"t need to treat me as a guest. I and Jingchuan are good friends. You don"t need to be so polite." w.a.n.g Siqi sat on the sofa and cheerfully said, "Actually I had a hand in the interior decoration of this Villa. I didn"t know you at that time so didn"t ask you. What do you think about the style of the Villa? Do you like it?"
……annoying.
Su Yan thought that as luck would have it, there were no feelings between her and Jiang Jingchuan. Otherwise, if she had really liked him, would she have felt better hearing these words?
w.a.n.g Siqi wasn"t really an outsider. Thinking of her provocation at the birthday banquet, Su Yan"s smile became even more gentle.
Good, very good.
Su Yan smiled faintly, "Really? I am very grateful to you. Jingchuan did not want me to worry about these things. Miss w.a.n.g was willing to handle such trivialities for us husband and wife, it is truly thoughtful of you. Jingchuan is lucky to have a friend like you."
w.a.n.g Siqi"s hatred for her reached new heights, but she still had to smile. She ignored it and got up to smile apologetically at Su Yan, "I still have some work to do. I won"t be able to drink your scented tea. There are too many things to do in the company. I really envy you, living so leisurely and idle."
…….huh
This meant she did not work and lived like a rice weevil1 Rice Weevil - It is an insect with six legs which attacks several crops specially rice.……
Good, very good. She decided to etch each and every one of w.a.n.g Siqi"s words into her memory. When Jiang Jingchuan came back, she would apply her best eye drops2 To put eye drops - It"s actual meaning is to report a person"s situation to your superior while describing that person, whose situation you"re describing, as a very bad person.. In general, she did not care about this. But this w.a.n.g Siqi had challenged her today. If she did not make a move, then people would believe that she was a coward.
Su Yan also got up and walked with w.a.n.g Siqi to the entrance, and said: "Miss w.a.n.g is very capable, I am no match for you." She paused before changing her tone, "Everyone"s desires are different. I just want to properly take care of Jingchuan and our future child. I feel very happy and satisfied."
Had she not seen many women like w.a.n.g Siqi in the Imperial Harem? Inwardly brewing hatred, while outwardly smiling and affectionately calling her elder sister, younger sister and so on.
Though she did not like Jiang Jingchuan, it was different from the Imperial Harem now. There were many women in the Imperial Harem, so it did not matter. She could not stop them. It was not the same now: This world was monogamous. Since w.a.n.g Siqi wanted a high position, she would first have to remove her from the way. Su Yan would not let w.a.n.g Siqi succeed.
This was the seat of Mrs. Jiang. Until the day she was sick of sitting here and did not want it, she would not let anyone s.n.a.t.c.h it.
The smile on w.a.n.g Siqi"s face was worth thinking over. It seemed that she didn"t care. After saying goodbye to Su Yan, she put on a pair of big sungla.s.ses and left.
Su Yan leaned against the door, immersed in thoughts. At that moment, Auntie w.a.n.g suddenly came down and whispered from behind: "If I didn"t know better, I"d have thought it was her home."
"It was precisely because she knows it is not her home that it was like this." After saying that one line, Su Yan went upstairs. Her mood seemed to be very good. Auntie w.a.n.g didn"t understand what it meant, so she hurriedly went after Su Yan. Following Su Yan into her bedroom, Auntie w.a.n.g decided not to be secretive anymore, "I"ve seen many people like this. If you don"t take care of it at the beginning, then it will become much more problematic in the future."
While working in rich and influential families, she had heard a lot about them even if she hadn"t seen them. Those who had some financial properties, many of them lived an honest and decent private life; however, illegitimate children were also common.
Su Yan knew what Auntie w.a.n.g meant, and also knew that Auntie w.a.n.g was on her side. She immediately stopped hiding it. She sat down on the sofa and looked at her hands: "Auntie w.a.n.g, you are wrong. I should not deal with these types."
Where would she have time to go and deal with a woman? Besides, who was the real troublemaker?
What was it to deal with women? Dealing with men required much more finesse.
She was fully capable of saying one thousand words and taking ten thousand steps. However, while she could have another 800 word battle with w.a.n.g Siqi, it wouldn"t at all compare to the effectiveness of Jiang Jingchuan"s words. Why should she let it influence her mood?
Auntie w.a.n.g deserved to be called Su Yan"s teammate. As soon as she heard this, she immediately understood. She nodded and smiled: "Yes, yes. That"s the same thing."
With her decades of experience, it was better for Madam to go to Sir with eye drops. As long as Sir was irritated at Miss w.a.n.g, we"ll see how long she could hop.
After Auntie w.a.n.g left the bedroom, Su Yan got up and opened the bedside cupboard. She took out the w.a.n.g Zi candies. They may not be delicious, but in Jiang Jingchuan"s memories they were beautiful. After thinking it over, Su Yan tore open the package and ate a few candies. They were soft and the taste was good. She put them on the teapoy in the bedroom at random so that Jiang Jingchuan would see them after he came back from work in the afternoon.
Unexpectedly, before the afternoon was over, Jiang Jingchuan called to have Su Yan find him at the Jiang Corporation to eat out that night.
Su Yan changed into a rose pink one-piece dress. This colour was really popular, but it would appear much darker if the skin wasn"t clear. The design of this dress had some scheming involved. It had a halterneck design, so Su Yan looked very cute yet slightly s.e.xy when she wore it.
Auntie w.a.n.g heaped praises on the dressed up Su Yan.
Su Yan left feeling pleased. Now she was used to these sort of dresses here and had learned to appreciate them. Although she didn"t comment on anything regarding the original body; she had to say that, based on the style of dress and makeup, the original body was completely deserving of her appearance.
Why did Jiang Jingchuan call Su Yan out to dinner? He was in a very good mood and had accidentally heard his a.s.sistant and his girlfriend make plans for a candlelight dinner. He thought about it and couldn"t get it out of his head. It had been more than half a year since they got married, but only recently did his feelings for his wife grow. For Jiang Jingchuan, they were still at the stage of being pa.s.sionately in love. When he heard others talk about eating delicious food, he thought of Su Yan. Before, he would have never thought of emptying his schedule and working overtime to accompany her to go on a honeymoon. Such impulsiveness was new for Jiang Jingchuan. He felt excited but also had a hint of expectation and satisfaction.
He couldn"t describe this feeling in detail. It was similar to what he felt the first time he closed a business deal by himself, but it wasn"t identical- it felt even more satisfying.
This was the second time Su Yan had come to Jiang Corp. As soon as the receptionist saw her enter, she immediately got up and even sent someone to press the b.u.t.ton on the elevator for her. Su Yan took a look at the person who pressed the b.u.t.ton for her. The girl appeared to be quite young. She smiled at her and softly said: "Thank you."
As soon as she finished, the elevator door opened. She stepped inside and nodded politely at the girl.
One had to say that this single action of Su Yan garnered an enormous favorable impression. The girl returned to her seat in a daze. She had just placed her b.u.t.t on the seat when the person next to her grabbed her: "What did Mrs. Jiang say? Oh My!
