People interact with each other, there’s always some interest involved.
Zhang Shanni is very clear about this.
If there isn’t mutual benefit, who would bother to get along well with others?
It all depends on whether the person is worth the effort or not.
Fortunately, whether it’s with Li Xiaxia or Qin Yanzi, Zhang Shanni gets along quite well.
It’s rare to make two friends who she can chat with leisurely, and Zhang Shanni truly values them, offering them a bit of sincerity.
It’s just... she was just here to buy some miscellaneous household items, how did she manage to run into an idiot?
"Third Sister-in-law..."
"Stop, Lin Aihong, don’t call me that, I’m not your so-called Third Sister-in-law!" As soon as Zhang Shanni saw ’Lin Aihong,’ she felt like her whole body bristled.
"I, I know I was wrong, from now on, I will, wholeheartedly be good to Brother Yang... please, stop targeting me!" Lin Aihong looked at the pregnant woman in front of her with a pale face, appearing extremely cautious.
"Do you have a problem with your brain?" Zhang Shanni bluntly criticized.
Yet she cautiously widened the distance between them, looking at her guardedly.
’Lin Aihong’ had quite a history, and even though she knew the woman in front of her wasn’t really Lin Aihong, Lin Aihong’s original character was a vicious and impulsive woman, afraid she’d act out true to Lin Aihong’s nature!
"Third Sister-in-law, I really wasn’t thinking straight before, could you please speak to my mother-in-law, I, I truly like Brother Yang, beg her to give me another chance!"
Looking at Zhang Shanni, the information indicated that the primary person responsible for this mission was her husband, as long as she could grab hold of Xie Jingchen and his family, her mission would be considered largely accomplished!
Moreover, the death of Tian Guhe was also by the hand of her husband, how could she possibly let go of these people from the Xie Family easily.
"Shut up, I don’t know what you’re planning, but if you dare to approach the Xie Family again, don’t blame me for being rude!" Zhang Shanni saw that this woman kept dragging the Xie Family into her words and immediately knew what her intentions were!
"No, I really love Xie Jingyang! Please believe me~"
"Enough, we know exactly who you are. Don’t waste your energy on us, the Xie Family will never acknowledge you!" Zhang Shanni scoffed, seeing the approaching aura from a distance, her heart settled down a lot, then looking at the seemingly bewildered young girl, she said coldly:
"Don’t think that by getting close to the Xie Family, nobody else will know your target, do you really think everyone else is a fool?"
"Third Sister-in-law, do you have..." Lin Aihong frowned, the more she listened to this woman’s words, the more she felt they carried a hidden meaning.
"Heh, I can’t afford it!" Zhang Shanni bypassed her, swiftly weaving through the crowd, quickly leaving this place of trouble.
Zhang Shanni departed quickly, but with graceful agility. Lin Aihong originally came today to test her attitude, now seeing her so wary of her current identity, the initial plan must be dead in the water.
Indeed, from the several encounters between Lin Aihong and Zhang Shanni, it was clear that trying to infiltrate the Xie Family by exploiting her original self’s schemes was not going to happen.
Especially now, her situation with the military is extremely awkward.
She didn’t care much for Lin Ximei, knowing that she somehow became ambiguously involved with a Rong Wei, for the sake of future convenience, she had a big fight with Lin Ximei, exposing her behavior for all to see.
Rong Wei immediately ended their relationship once he knew she even had a husband. Seeing her older daughter and younger daughter both looking at her with hatred, Lin Ximei couldn’t take it psychologically and was genuinely afraid her younger daughter would really tell her husband about her behavior in the military, so she hurriedly packed up and left.
It was all intentional by Lin Aihong.
After all, she wasn’t the real Lin Aihong. Having Lin Ximei, the biological mother, around would definitely spell trouble. The best course of action was to let her leave of her own accord.
Ha, that woman was simply too shrewd, having already severed ties with the Lin Family. She even went as far as to telegraph the biological father about the mother and daughter’s deeds back home, bluntly asking him and their relatives to consider her dead.
It could be said her actions were truly direct and decisive.
But it didn’t matter, without Lin Aifei, she could still use this identity to associate with her husband’s cousin.
Looking at it now, Xie Jingchen’s wife was not someone simple or easy to fool.
Indeed, if she were so easy to handle, the original owner of this body wouldn’t have ended up in such a pitiful fight.
Although Tian Guhe met an unjust death, she has more or less pinpointed who the target might be.
The information she sent back, regarding her suspicions about ’Zhang Shanni,’ allowed her to confirm that Zhang Shanni was not one of their insiders.
But another ’Zheng Changqing,’ corresponded one-to-one with the sparse characteristics passed down by Fei Yan from those years.
So her mission, besides getting close to Xie Jingchen’s family, was to keep an eye on Zheng Changqing, which led her to an unexpected discovery — it seemed that Zheng Changqing was quite concerned about this ’Zhang Shanni’ as well?!
What was so special about this ’Zhang Shanni’?
His intense interest suggested he had discovered something. Today’s probing made her feel that Zhang Shanni was not as ’tender and delicate’ as her appearance suggested.
Little White Flower was an illusion; Queen of Night was her true nature.
Especially when she faced that woman, Wang Xiuzhen, the aura in her eyes was surely not something a village girl could possess.
Thinking of it , how could someone who could be married into the Xie Family by Xie Jingchen be a simple village girl!
And look, the child isn’t even born yet, but turns out to be the biological daughter of the Yan Family who has been lost outside. Just this point alone was worth her effort to get close.
Seeing her leave so defensively, Lin Aihong did not pursue her.
With her current identity, trying to get close to her simply and gain her approval was impossible.
Zhang Shanni safely returned home and finally breathed a sigh of relief. Now that she was more than six months pregnant, taking care of her health was the priority.
Otherwise, she wouldn’t endure the nightly torment of moans under the peach blossom tree, nearly driving her to a nervous breakdown.
Unfortunately, today was indeed a busy day. When she returned to her own yard through the side door and saw another woman, a woman already unrelated to her, she truly felt a headache coming on!
"Zhang Shanni... you’re finally back. What have you been up to, needing so long for a prenatal checkup? Don’t tell me instead of getting checked, you’ve actually been fooling around?"
Upon seeing Zhang Shanni, who was dressed neatly and gorgeously, and especially after seeing the luxurious bag in her hand filled with items, jealousy ignited in the woman’s heart!
Especially when she saw Zhang Shanni’s fair and delicate face, as beautiful as a flower – looking at her face alone, who would think that she was a pregnant woman, six or seven months along with a big belly?
