C34 (1/2)
The servants of Pear Garden were standing not far away as they stuck their heads out to size her up. Their gazes were all different, and the majority of them carried malicious intentions.
”Young Madam, have some tea.”
In the end, it was a forty year old woman. She stepped forward and broke the silence of the room, saying in a neither humble nor haughty manner, ”I am the butler Zhang Ma of Pear Garden. If young madam has anything you need me to tell me, it would be fine.”
As expected, the headlines were all about her and Qi Yanjun.
Young Lady Qi cheating #
Young Master Qi was cuckolded, and his wife was suspected to be pregnant with another person's child
The Qizhong Lady of the Shengtian Group had engaged in an extramarital affair.
And so on and so forth and so forth.
Even though she and Qi Yanjun were not people from the entertainment circle, but because his status was too high, and was related to Qi Yanjun, the two of them, they could still get headlines. It was said that his fans were even more than the most popular people in the entertainment circle, so when this matter came to light, the number of people discussing it was like a carp crossing the river.
Lan Yue did not flip through the comments. She did not need to see to know what these people were talking about.
In the eyes of an outsider, the fact that she was able to marry Qi Yanjun was a blessing from her previous life, but not only was she not satisfied, she had cheated on someone else's child. Her heart could be destroyed, the spectators were all filled with righteous indignation, and every sentence was more vicious than the last, as if they wanted to drown her in a pig cage.
There were even more people who brought up Xu Miao Rong, saying that she should not have chosen Lan Yue, and giving her up, Lan Yue did not even deserve to bring her shoes!
Lan Yue forced herself to calm down, to fight her way out of this desperate situation.
She settled down in Pear Garden just like that.
For the next four to five days, Qi Yanjun did not appear. There were several times when Lan Yue wanted to run out, but she was stopped by the bodyguards at the entrance. No matter how angry she was, there was nothing she could do.
”Young madam, where are you going?”
Just as Lan Yue left the living room, Zhang Ma appeared in front of her in a flash. She seemed to be asking a question, but there was a sense of questioning.
Lan Yue frowned, her face was pale, and asked: ”I want to take a walk around the garden, is that not possible?”
Zhang Ma's expression did not change, ”Young Madam, please.”
Lan Yue held her breath and walked towards the flower garden. She knew clearly in her heart that these few days, Zhang Ma and the other servants had been treating her with respect on the surface, but they had actually looked down on her in all kinds of ways. No matter where she went, a pair of eyes would always stare at her from the shadows.
She sat on a bench behind the fountain, basking in the sun, thinking.
Suddenly, she heard a conversation.
”This is the first time that Pear Garden has a mistress, but ever since she came, Young Master hasn't returned for a few days.”
”Pfft, what mistress? She's just a woman with a water personality like a blooming flower. Just you wait, in a few days she'll have to leave the hall!”
”I think so too. I've never seen such a lucky woman! ”Shameless!”
Lan Yue recognized that the person who spoke was a servant from Pear Garden. She had heard enough of these discussions over the past few days, from her initial sneer to her current habit. She quietly listened, her lips slightly pursed, as if they weren't talking about her.
In one night's time, she went from Young Lady Qi, which everyone envied, to a street rat that everyone wanted to beat.
Lan Yue rubbed her temples, she was extremely agitated.
Originally, she had wanted to get even with Rong Yan, but as the events that followed came out one after another, she was completely exhausted and was unable to do anything.
”Sigh …”
After letting out a long sigh, Lan Yue went back to her room to sleep. She slept until midnight, sat by the window to read a book, and suddenly heard a few car whistles. Her heart skipped a beat, she closed her book, stuck her head out and looked over the garden, staring at the cars parked in front of the carved iron gates from afar.
Qi Yanjun is back?
She immediately stood up and quickly ran out.
When he finally showed up, she had to have a good talk with him.
After passing through two corridors, Lan Yue arrived at the stairs. When she saw the intimate figures of a man and a woman downstairs, her heart burned with anxiety and immediately became filled with ridicule.
”Dinner Lord, this is the first time I've been to Pear Garden. The decorations are very good, I really like it.” Xu Miao Rong held Qi Yanjun's arm, and looked around with a smile. She smiled sweetly, and looked generous yet charming, ”I want to stay here, why not you accompany me?”
Qi Yanjun threw the suit jacket to the servant who was standing by the side and raised his eyes lazily. Unexpectedly, he saw Lan Yue, who was standing upstairs, looking at him from a distance away.
He was still looking at Lan Yue, but he was smiling.
”Sure, as long as you like it.”
Lan Yue's expression was wooden, no ripples appeared in her eyes, and other than ridicule, her heart was completely numb with cold.
What was so surprising about her? He didn't kill her directly, he just brought her along with him. Making her a joke was already being lenient.
Xu Miao Rong covered her mouth and laughed, then pulled him to sit down, giving the order to the Zhang Ma like a mistress.
”Banquet Lord likes to drink Longjing, quickly make a pot.”
