A satisfied smile spread across Jin Mingzhen’s face upon receiving her son’s approval. “Okay, you should retreat to your room now and I’ll bring her over right after.”
Jin Mingzhen reckoned deceiving Chu Wuyou would be a piece of cake.
“Alright, you better be careful. Don’t foul up the plan and get me in trouble.” Disdain was written all over Ye Lanzhang’s face as he turned to look at her again.
“Rest assured. I’m your birth mom and I’ll not do anything that would harm you.” Jin Mingzhen was still trying to flatter him. She knew full well that she was only allowed into the Ye family because she gave birth to this son. Her future well-being depended solely on him.
Therefore, it was necessary that she poured her heart and soul into assisting him.
Ye Lanzhang’s lips curled into a sardonic smile as he landed his gaze on Chu Wuyou who remained seated quietly in the main hall. It must be a simple task to deceive that foolish woman. There was no doubt they would place her in an awkward situation that was too difficult for her to defend herself.
This plan would succeed unquestionably.
Satisfied, Ye Lanzhang retreated to his room.
“Wuyou, you must be bored sitting here all by yourself. Why don’t I bring you to Young Master Ye’s room?” After Ye Lanzhang took his leave, Jin Mingzhen returned to the hall once more and approached Chu Wuyou with all smiles.
Chu Wuyou raised her brows ever so slightly and she laughed internally. She already knew what was going on in that woman’s mind judging from the latter’s tone.
Both Jin Mingzhen and Ye Lanzhang were positioned far away from her earlier hence their voices were inaudible to her ears. However, a quick glance stolen out of the corner of her eye was already enough for her to discern the emotion that chased over their features.
Immediately, she concluded that both of them were scheming a plot against her.
They were too naïve to think their plan would fall through. They were certainly not her match yet she was curious to see what would happen nonetheless.
“Sure.” Chu Wuyou pretended as if she was in the dark. She even feigned an innocent smile when she lifted her eyes to meet with Jin Mingzhen’s.
The latter smiled coldly deep within her, the sardonic expression in her eyes became more prominent. How simple it was to deceive this stupid fool! She succeeded within a matter of seconds.
“Let’s go, I’ll show you the way.” Jin Mingzhen did not even try to suppress the conceited beam that spread across her face. Well, she did not conceal it deliberately because she was convinced Chu Wuyou was stupid.
“Sure.” Chu Wuyou rose to her height obediently and trailed after that woman.
Jin Mingzhen who was leading the way was grinning from the bottom of her heart. She was smug over her success in fooling the idiotic woman.
She headed to the second floor and Chu Wuyou did the same.
Out of their knowledge, a pair of eyes were observing them in the dark.
Ye Lanchen’s status in the Ye family was incomparable to the others, thus there was no doubt his room was positioned in the best location. Chu Wuyou scanned the area briefly and she could sort of estimate which room belonged to Ye Lanchen.
However, Jin Mingzhen led her toward another room which was situated slightly worse than the aforementioned. Chu Wuyou could pretty much guess the owner of this room.
“This room belongs to Young Master Ye. You should wait for him inside.” Jin Mingzhen opened the room door and urged Chu Wuyou to enter.
The room was not illuminated and it appeared to be empty.
“Okay,” Chu Wuyou replied obediently once more. She did not enquire further or reveal any hesitation before entering the room in great strides.
Jin Mingzhen became more proud of herself upon seeing Chu Wuyou’s cooperation. Her wonderful plan would work out smoothly thanks to this gullible woman. She was brimming with excitement as she anticipated what would follow.
