Zhu Xinyu had never experienced such an insult in all her life, and initially wanted to retort that it was actually Xu Niannian who was ugly.
But after glimpsing Xu Niannian’s enchanting face, she held back, realizing that saying it out loud would be even more self-defeating.
After holding it in for what felt like ages, Zhu Xinyu finally managed to say, "Do you know the consequences of offending me?"
Xu Niannian scoffed and countered, "Do you know the consequences of offending Jin Yu’s fiancée?"
Upon hearing this, Zhu Xinyu shrank back, while Jin Yu raised an eyebrow at Xu Niannian.
Hah... Sharp-tongued and even leveraging his status to her advantage.
Ye Shaoting was stunned as he looked at Xu Niannian, and then glanced at Jin Yu, who seemed contemplative. He couldn’t help but swallow hard.
No wonder when Zhu Xinyu had tried to hit Xu Niannian earlier, and he had attempted to intervene, Jin Yu had held him back.
Turns out he knew his partner was a formidable character.
Zhu Xinyu’s face turned red with frustration as she glanced back at Jin Yu and Ye Shaoting several times, noticing that neither of them intended to come to her defense, and she angrily stomped her foot.
Outraged, Zhu Xinyu yelled at Xu Niannian, "You’re simply not worthy of Brother Yu. What’s his status, and what’s yours? Being with Brother Yu will only drag him down."
Xu Niannian rolled her eyes, not wanting to be matched with him, but she was not going to miss out on a chance to retaliate.
Seeing the woman looking as if Xu Niannian was ruining Jin Yu, Xu Niannian deliberately disgusted her.
"You’re suitable for him, sure, but what can I do when Jin Yu insists on only marrying me? All you have is that phrase ’suitable’ to show for yourself."
Zhu Xinyu was so angry she could explode, "Brother Yu, look at her..."
Wow, she even knows how to act coy, Xu Niannian thought, nearly rolling her eyes to the heavens.
Trashy friends, indeed they gather... Birds of a feather flock together.
Xu Niannian, born with a bewitching beauty, could even make the simple act of rolling her eyes seem alluring.
Jin Yu’s gaze had been fixed on Xu Niannian from the start, and the more he watched, the more he found her to be... restless.
She made him itch all over.
He considered himself to have fairly good self-control. If it had been a man with less restraint, she would have been ’handled’ within minutes.
Even rolling her eyes was attractive; Jin Yu really wanted to put a sack over her head, the kind that would hide her eyes and all. Thᴇ link to the origɪn of this information rᴇsts ɪn novel※fire.net
Zhu Xinyu didn’t hear Jin Yu defending her. Turning around, she saw him gazing deeply at that ’vixen,’ feeling incredibly hurt.
"Shut up," Jin Yu said coldly, glancing at her, "If you don’t like it here, get out."
With one sentence, he successfully silenced Zhu Xinyu’s grievances.
Jin Yu knew Xu Niannian was a good cook, and since he hadn’t eaten anything in the morning, he said, "Jiaojiao, go make me something to eat."
Xu Niannian narrowed her eyes at him. Was he escalating the situation?
Jin Yu’s lips curled up, his deep eyes sparkling with amusement as he said meaningfully to her, "After all, who have I insisted on marrying but you?"
Damn, trash, actually threatening her.
Xu Niannian kept a smile on her face; trash, he wanted to eat, did he? She’d make sure he had his fill.
Yet before she could put her plan into action, a low, amused voice reached her ear, "You use my influence to bully others, don’t forget to be grateful."
Xu Niannian: "...Haha."
She would endure it. The woman had a special status. Having struggled in her past life, Xu Niannian understood all too well the principle that power could crush people.
By offending her today, there was no guarantee that woman wouldn’t seek revenge.
Without the trash Jin Yu to shield her, with her current ability, she indeed would be unable to withstand the other’s retaliation.
Hah... There’s plenty of time ahead. A proud woman violates, this grudge, Xu Niannian would not leave unsettled.
Swallowing her pride now, she would take a step back and set a trap for later.
Make money, make money, work hard to make money. One day when she was rich enough to rival nations, she’d definitely toss this trash to the ground and trample him.
