The Mad Heiress Played Innocent, and the Third Master Fell Hard - Chapter 39

She ignored that subtle aura.

She was unwilling to admit that her daughter, who hadn’t grown up by her side since childhood and whom she disliked the most, was more outstanding than Yu Yunshu, whom she had raised herself.

Cheng Xiang kept telling herself that Yu Guiwan was just a good-for-nothing and couldn’t compare to Yu Yunshu.

She gritted her teeth. “What do we do now? If she gets out of control, then we and the Jiang family…”

Yu Guiwan is not the most important one.

They only care about whether they can gain more benefits from this marriage.

Yu Mingsheng narrowed his eyes slightly, “The Jiang family hasn’t made any moves yet, but I heard that the second young master of the Jiang family has joined the board of directors.”

Cheng Xiang’s eyes widened. “What?!”

…

The next morning.

Yu Guiwan got up very early.

It’s not even seven o’clock yet.

She ran into Jiangxi as soon as she went downstairs. Jiangxi had just finished his morning exercise.

Good morning, young mistress.

Yu Guiwan glanced at him and nodded, “Good morning.”

She lifted her foot and walked outside.

Jiangxi originally planned to go back to her room and take a shower, but now…

He thought for a moment, wiped his face with a towel, and followed them out.

“Young Madam, are you going for your morning exercise?”

Yu Guiwan slowly strolled towards the garden.

Hearing this, she looked at him with surprise, “Is morning exercise fun?”

Jiangxi stumbled, then exclaimed, “No…it’s not fun.”

He silently wiped away his sweat.

Nobody really puts morning exercise and having fun together.

Yu Guiwan hummed in agreement and continued walking forward.

Jiangxi couldn’t guess what she wanted to do either, so he could only follow behind her and see what she needed.

Yu Guiwan politely borrowed a pair of scissors from the gardener, as well as a basket that appeared out of nowhere.

Jiangxi watched as she walked along, snapping and cutting off the most precious flowers and placing them in her basket.

The gardener never expected that the young mistress would use the scissors to do such a disservice to the flowers.

He looked distressed and wanted to stop them, but he didn’t dare.

After all, Jiang Yuhuai had said that she could do whatever she wanted with the flowers in the garden.

…

Downstairs, in the living room.

Jiang Dong came out after taking a bath.

They happened to run into people from Jiangxi who were coming in from outside.

Seeing his younger brother’s utterly dejected expression, he picked up a glass of water, took a sip, and raised an eyebrow. “Were you abused by the young master?”

Jiangxi always seems to enjoy tormenting Jiang Yuhuai.

Although they were badly beaten, their skills still improved considerably.

Jiang Dong initially couldn’t understand it, but gradually got used to it.

Jiangxi glanced at him, then reached out and snatched the water from his glass, drinking it all.

Jiang Dong: “…”

“I didn’t go to see Master.” Jiangxi handed the empty cup back to him. “I just went for a walk in the garden with the young mistress.”

Jiang Dong said “Oh,” and then asked, “And then?”

“And then?” Jiangxi paused for a moment, “Then I saw the young mistress holding scissors and snip-snip-snip for half an hour, squeezing out nearly ten million yuan.”

Jiang Donggang poured himself another glass of water, took a sip, and choked immediately.

He looked over in astonishment. “What?”

Jiangxi avoided the water he sprayed without expression.

…

The small villa area.

Yu Guiwan accompanied Grandma Wang and Wang Shengye to breakfast.

Grandma Wang put some pickled vegetables in her bowl. “Wanwan, Grandma is planning to go back to Yunling Town.”

Yu Guiwan looked up at her, “Grandma, you actually…”

Grandma Wang smiled, knowing what she wanted to say.

“Grandma has lived in Yunling Town for most of her life and is used to it. Now that she’s here and sees you doing well, she’s relieved. It’s time for her to go back.”

Grandma Wang is old, but she’s not completely confused.

She knew why she had been brought to the capital.

The Yu family did things that no human being would do.

She agreed to come to the capital because she was worried about Yu Guiwan.

Now that I see Yu Guiwan is doing well, Jiang Yuhuai is treating her very well.

Grandma Wang was finally relieved.

Although Yu Guiwan was reluctant to part with Grandma Wang, she understood the old woman’s feelings.

She put down her chopsticks, took Grandma Wang’s hand, and said, “Okay, Grandma, I’ll come back to see you when I have time.”

Grandma Wang smiled and said, “Remember to bring Xiao Jiang along.”

Yu Guiwan: “…Oh.”

After Wang Shengye finished eating, he put down his chopsticks and said, “Um, Grandma, I…”

“You should stay in the capital and keep Wanwan company.”

Grandma Wang looked at her grandson and said, “School starts in less than two weeks, so you can stay here in Beijing and don’t need to come back with me.”

Wang Shengye was admitted to Peking University this year.

“But you’re all alone…”

Grandma Wang glared at him. “You think your grandma could get lost?”

Wang Shengye: “…That’s not what I meant.”

Grandma Wang snorted coldly.

A hint of a smile appeared in Yu Guiwan’s eyes. “I’ll have someone personally escort Grandma back. You can stay here.”

Wang Shengye paused for a moment, then asked, “Is I still living here?”

To be honest, he was a little hesitant to stay there.

He wouldn’t have stayed if Grandma Wang hadn’t been there.

Jiang Yuhuai appeared harmless, gentle, and patient in their presence.

But in reality, this is none other than Master Jiang the Third.

A person feared even by the largest and smallest families in the capital.

He wouldn’t be fooled by the pretense Jiang Yuhuai was putting on.

Perhaps only Yu Guiwan could make Jiang Yuhuai disguise himself to please his elders.

Wang Shengye looked at Yu Guiwan with even more admiration and respect.

Yu Guiwan rested her face on one hand, her arm casually draped over the dining table. When she saw him looking over, she raised an eyebrow.

“If you want to stay, that’s fine too.”

She wouldn’t mind.

Wang Shengye’s lips twitched. “Sis, is it alright if I don’t stay?”

Yu Guiwan seemed to be in a good mood and smiled, “Okay.”

Grandma Wang looked at the two siblings and shook her head helplessly.

…

After finishing breakfast, Yu Guiwan carried the basket back to the main villa.

Jiang Yuhuai sat at the dining table, drinking coffee.

Jiang Dong seemed to be reporting something to the side.

Upon seeing her enter, Jiang Dong stopped and greeted her respectfully.

Jiang Yuhuai’s expression softened slightly. “Did you have a full breakfast?”

Yu Guiwan exclaimed, “It’s alright.”

Before going upstairs, she told him that Grandma Wang was planning to return to Yunling Town.

Jiang Yuhuai took a sip of coffee. “Okay, I’ll have someone take Grandma back.”

He instructed Jiang Dong to arrange the matter.

Jiang Dong had investigated the matter in Yunling Town and knew how important Grandma Wang was to Yu Guiwan, so he was naturally cautious.

Yu Guiwan nodded. “Then I’ll go upstairs.”

“good.”

Jiang Yuhuai watched her go upstairs with a smile on his lips.

Jiangxi, who hadn’t said much, looked at the swaying basket and his lips twitched.

He couldn’t help but tell Jiang Yuhuai about it.

The man remained calm. “Then have someone bring some more back from the lab.”

Most of the flowers in the garden have a calming effect.

However, it’s not readily available everywhere on the market.

They are all varieties cultivated in the laboratory.

Each one is worth a fortune.

Only Yu Guiwan would be so unscrupulous in taking advantage of others.

Jiangxi: “…Yes.”
