An Nuan responded with a calm smile, not revealing any emotion.
She said, "Actually, to attract a man's attention, it's not because of what you did, but because he cares about you. If he cares about you, he would be extremely anxious if you just sneezed, but if he doesn't care about you, even if you were bedridden, he would just send some money out of humanitarianism."
Tong Zhitong's face was clearly unhappy.
She had heard before that An Nuan was the most tragic product of elite education, always minimizing big issues and trivializing small matters, never provoking any disputes with others. Speaking nicely, she was pure as jade and virtuous. Speaking poorly, she was ignorant.
However, now.
This woman was clearly being aggressive. Although her words seemed light and breezy, they were mocking everywhere.
"So you're gloating now?" Tong Zhitong asked coldly.
Because she got Ye Jinghuai, she was extremely delighted?
"No, it's satisfaction," An Nuan smiled. "Gloating is when you get someone out of your league and you're smug about it. Satisfaction is when two equals happen to like each other and feel happy."
Tong Zhitong was clearly having trouble controlling her emotions.
So An Nuan was mocking her again, that she couldn't get Ye Jinghuai because she wasn't good enough?!
"Don't really think your status is very high in Ye Jinghuai's heart. Ye Jinghuai would kill anyone around him as long as they touch his core interests. He won't show mercy! One day you'll know everything I've said will be verified!" Tong Zhitong said fiercely, her tone very heavy.
At that moment, An Nuan suddenly felt that she wasn't lying to her.
"We'll see!" Tong Zhitong left angrily!
An Nuan just watched her back as she left.
She had to admit, the information this woman had told her was quite substantial.
Ye Jinghuai was cruel?
Cruel enough to kill anyone around him?
Who exactly was Ye Jinghuai?!
What was the background of this man who suddenly burst into prominent families like a dark horse?!
"Third Young Mistress." A servant suddenly came out from the hall, jogged over, and found her. "The Madam is asking you to go to the young miss's room. She said the young miss wants to apologize to you in person."
"Ok." An Nuan readily agreed.
At that moment, she couldn't help but feel doubtful.
Both Ye Jinghuai and Tong Zhitong had warned her to be wary of Ye Jingjing.
This woman...what exactly was the problem with her!
She followed the servant and still went towards Ye Jingjing's room.
The previous her always wanted to resolve conflicts peacefully and never caused trouble. And whenever there was conflict, she would definitely avoid it.
But not anymore.
Now she followed the motto "Don't bother me and I won't bother you, but if you bother me, I'll wipe you out!"
An Nuan knocked on the door.
Yun Yuqing personally opened the door, a smiling face, appearing very intimate. "Nuan Nuan."
"Mom."
"Come in quickly."
An Nuan followed Yun Yuqing into the room.
Ye Jingjing was currently lying in bed at this time, her face pale, looking extremely weak.
Seeing An Nuan walk in, she hurriedly tried to sit up from the bed.
Her personal servant helped prop her up with pillows behind her back.
"Sister-in-Law, I want to apologize to you in person. Pomela really didn't mean to come grab you. It's never done that before..."
"Jingjing, it's fine. I know it wasn't on purpose. Don't dwell on it. It was just an accident." An Nuan was generous and gentle.
No matter what kind of existence Ye Jingjing actually was.
She had to put on a show on the surface.
"But I still feel very guilty." Ye Jingjing looked very sad.
"Just pretend it never happened." An Nuan smiled. "If you didn't bring it up now, I would have already forgotten about it."
"Sister-in-Law, you're so kind." Ye Jingjing sincerely said, then suddenly turned to Yun Yuqing and said, "Mom, can I talk to Sister-in-Law alone for a bit?"
"Sure, chat slowly. I'm tired too, I'll go back to my room and sleep for a bit. Call me if you need anything." Yun Yuqing nodded.
She seemed to cater to Ye Jingjing's every wish.
Ye Jingjing obediently nodded.
Yun Yuqing said a few more words to An Nuan before leaving the room.
After she left, Ye Jingjing also called her servants out.
Only the two of them remained in the room.
Ye Jingjing's voice was very soft and low. She said, "Sister-in-Law, my third brother has never acknowledged a woman before, not even Tong Zhitong. Ah...I'm not saying anything about what happened between my third brother and Tong Zhitong..."
"I know," An Nuan seemed very calm. "Tong Zhitong is Ye Jinghuai's ex-girlfriend."
"You know?" Ye Jingjing seemed a little surprised.
"Tong Zhitong told me."
"You're not angry?"
"Not angry. That's all in the past. Besides, if I got upset over every girlfriend your third brother had, wouldn't I be angry to death?"
"You're so tolerant. No wonder my third brother likes you so much." Ye Jingjing smiled innocently.
An Nuan also smiled.
Her smile didn't reveal that Ye Jingjing had deliberately brought up Tong Zhitong just to deliberately create conflict.
"I'm so envious of you two." Ye Jingjing said with some sadness. "My mom said I can't date or get married."
"Dating and getting married aren't necessarily wonderful things. If you run into a scumbag, it'll be a lifetime of regret." An Nuan consoled.
"When Sister-in-Law puts it like that, I suddenly feel that having loving parents, three brothers who love me, and sisters-in-law is a very happy thing."
"So you should cherish it." An Nuan spoke sincerely.
She was actually giving a reminder.
"Mm." Ye Jingjing obediently nodded. She said, "Sister-in-Law, could you help me pour a glass of water? I need to take medicine soon."
"Sure." An Nuan walked over to the water dispenser and poured a glass of hot water, placing it at Ye Jingjing's bedside. "Be careful, it's hot. Take the medicine after it cools down a bit."
"Thank you, sister-in-law."
"We're all family, no need to stand on ceremony."
"Mm." Ye Jingjing always behaved so obedient and lovable. She considerately said, "Sister-in-Law, thank you for chatting with me and making me feel much better. I'm a little tired now and want to rest for a while."
"Then rest well. I'll head out first."
"Ok." Ye Jingjing nodded.
An Nuan got up to leave.
"Oh, Sister-in-Law..." Ye Jingjing suddenly thought of something and reached out to grab An Nuan.
An Nuan didn't pay much attention.
In that moment when Ye Jingjing suddenly grabbed her arm, as she turned back, the cup of scalding hot water placed at the bedside was knocked over, and all of it spilled onto Ye Jingjing's hand.
"Ah!" A scream suddenly came from Ye Jingjing's room.
In an instant, it attracted all the Ye family members, and they all rushed to Ye Jingjing's room to see her in great pain.
