"Jin Yu, I know you’re married now, but please help me by rejecting her and letting her give up on you, alright?"
Jin Yu, sweating profusely, threw his hoe to the ground and impatiently took off his hat, "Look, Qu Xiaoran, what the hell is wrong with you and your bestie? I’ve got a wife and a kid, can’t you understand plain human speech? I won’t go, whether she gives up or not is her problem."
Qu Xiaoran had been pleading with Jin Yu for a while, and seeing how unreasonable he was being, she suddenly felt quite angry.
"Jin Yu, why are you ? I’m not asking you to do anything with Ruhua, just to reject her so she can get over it for my sake..."
"If you want her to get over it, that’s easy, I’ll go see her."
A cold voice interrupted Qu Xiaoran’s words, Xu Niannian walked over holding Dabao.
Seeing Xu Niannian coming, Jin Yu instantly put on a smile, "Wife, you’re here."
Xu Niannian responded with an "mm" and handed Dabao to Jin Yu, then emotionlessly said to Qu Xiaoran, "Let’s go, where is she?"
Dabao wriggled dismissively in Jin Yu’s arms.
Qu Xiaoran hadn’t expected Xu Niannian to suddenly appear and began to feel embarrassed. The source of thɪs content is N()velFire.net
"I was looking for Jin Yu..."
"My husband is busy," Xu Niannian was speechless at Qu Xiaoran’s thought process, "He’s not obligated to meet your best friend and satisfy her wishes."
Ji Ruhua had been waiting at the door for a long time, peering inside. Finally, she spotted Qu Xiaoran’s figure and excitedly ran over.
But after just two steps, the smile on Ji Ruhua’s face faded away.
It wasn’t Jin Yu who had come, but Xu Niannian.
Xu Niannian and Qu Xiaoran quickly made their way to Ji Ruhua.
Qu Xiaoran helplessly spread her hands towards Ji Ruhua, "I did my best, Jin Yu wouldn’t come."
"Whatever you want to say, talk to me."
Confronting Xu Niannian, Ji Ruhua instantly resumed her sharp, strong-woman demeanor, no longer seeming lost in a daze as she had before.
She had a smile on her face, though it didn’t reach her eyes.
Xu Niannian and Ji Ruhua had a secret between them, but Xu Niannian wasn’t worried at all that Ji Ruhua would disclose it.
As long as she never admitted it, others would only think Ji Ruhua was spouting nonsense and making things up.
After all, reincarnation is too fantastical a concept.
The two of them moved to a spot alone.
Ji Ruhua stopped walking.
"Are you satisfied now?" she asked, "If you’re here to show off, I’m sorry, but you’re probably not going to achieve that. I won’t give up on Jin Yu just because of what you’ve said."
Upon hearing this, Xu Niannian snorted derisively, "I don’t need to flaunt my superiority in front of you to feel good about myself; I’m here to tell you that if you keep after my husband, I won’t mind making it impossible for you to stay in Kyoto."
Ji Ruhua laughed as if she had heard the world’s biggest joke.
"Xu Niannian, no one else may know, but you sure do, right? Who gave you the right to say such things? Jin Yu was clearly my fiancé; it was you who took him away. You’re the third party."
"Don’t think just because others are unaware that you’re not the third party. I don’t mind being seen as the third party because I know I’m not. I, Ji Ruhua, have a clear conscience. I’m just taking back what’s mine. The real third party is you."
Xu Niannian dug at her ear, listening to Ji Ruhua’s shrieking accusations, and couldn’t hold back any longer. She slapped Ji Ruhua across the face, silencing her tirade.
Ji Ruhua staggered from the slap and fell to the ground.
