Chapter 277 - Chapter 277: Chapter Two -Hundred and Seventy-Seven: Quarrel (2/2)

Yun Liu took the cup of water Xiao Yun handed her and guzzled it down before throwing the cup aside and leaning back against the sofa. She grumbled, “I’m risking life and limb to accompany her, so how can she not be happy?

Tan Ning smiled. “Good! That’s good!”

Yun Liu sighed, “I don’t get it; that woman’s so old, so where does she get all that energy from? After playing golf, she wanted to go riding, so we did. And after we finally took a break to eat something, we went swimming. I’m in my twenties, but I can’t keep up with her—and she’s almost sixty!”

Tan Ning laughed. “Indeed, she doesn’t seem like someone who’s pushing sixty. People would believe it if you said she’s only forty!”

“I didn’t expect being the Liang family’s daughter-in-law to be so tiring,” Yun Liu sighed.

“Oh? Then do you want to be their daughter-in-law or not?” Tan Ning teased.

Yun Liu wailed. “I do, I do! Ugh, but this is killing me!”

Tan Ning encouraged her, saying, “There are no shortcuts in life. Considering that your relationship with Yun Nan is so bad and Liang Han and Shi Nian are close friends, we can’t go straight to Liang Han and force you on him. If Yun Nan did say something about you in front of Liang Han, then even if he has a good impression of you, he’ll probably reject you because of his friendship with Shi Nian. That would be a huge loss for us.”

Yun Liu nodded dejectedly. ‘Yun Nan and I must have been enemies in our previous lives,’ Yun Liu silently fumed. ‘ Nothing has gone my way ever since she appeared, and now I’m constrained by her even when it comes to dating!

Yun Liu gritted her teeth and said ruthlessly, “Why is that d*mn woman so godd*mn lucky? That branch of the Gu family is worthless at handling things!”

“Shut up!” Tan Ning glared at her. “Some things are better kept to yourself!”

Yun Liu felt resentful but shut her mouth as instructed. Tan Ning softened her tone as she continued, ‘We can’t rush things on Madam Liang’s side. You still need to work hard and be patient. As for Yun Nan, I think Fang Xi’s matter will be enough to deal her a debilitating blow. Right now, her company has three movies waiting to be released. Hmph, looking at the box office figures, they’ll be a flop before they even air!”

Yun Liu was delighted; she’s happy as long as Yun Nan’s in trouble. However, Tan Ning didn’t allow her to revel in her triumph. “You have to consolidate your standing in the Gu family,” Tan Ning told her. “Whether it’s the Yun or the Gu family, your foundation is still unstable. You need to make sure that they can’t do without you.”

Yun Liu nodded, inwardly secretly rejoicing. ‘Tan Nings much more reliable and capable than Ding Pei. She always has everything meticulously planned for me. I’m lucky to have Tan Ning on my side..’
