Chapter 1052: Chapter 1056: Jealousy Chapter 1052: Chapter 1056: Jealousy Her voice was crisp, her smile radiant, and a pained expression surfaced in Senior Master Yian’s eyes as he looked at the pack of wolfish sons and daughters-in-law behind her, and he sighed deeply.

If he had known that Yian the Second and Yian the Third were such creatures, he would never have remarried in the first place.

It would have been better to live with just the eldest alone than to remarry someone with a heart of a viper, birthing two broods of debt-collecting demons.

Yian Jingxue stepped aside to clear the way, as the caregiver pushed the senior master out of the living room.

Once the senior master had moved far enough away, Yian Jingxue clung to Han Zuo’s arm, her demeanor shifting from the tender sweetness of before to a cold, haughty one, “Let me introduce you all, this is my boyfriend, his name is Han Zuo, and he is the Vice President of Gu Corporation!”

Her gaze swept across the faces of Yian the Second and Yian the Third’s families, her icy stare sharp as a knife, “You all better open your eyes and see clearly, only a man of this caliber is worthy of me, Yian Jingxue. Stop bringing every Tom, Dick, and Harry to me! Think you want to marry me? Take a good look at yourselves in the mirror and ask if you’re even worthy.”

“Xiao Xue, how can you talk like that?” the wife of Yian the Second struck first, “We are your elders, is this how you speak to your elders?”

“Elders?” Yian Jingxue scoffed, “I’m sorry, but the thing I hate most in this life is a pimp. From the day you started pimping, you stopped being my elder. I don’t have such an elder. Go away and stay where it suits you; don’t pretend to be something important here!”

Han Zuo: “…”

This small and seemingly sweet girl has quite the bandit vibe!

“Sister Xiaoxue, how can you talk to my mom like that?” Yian Chaoyu’s voice was unbearably coquettish as she looked towards Gu Junzhu and Han Zuo, “Sister Xiaoxue, you are the precious daughter of the Yian Family, have you forgotten what grandpa always taught us? Look at you, you don’t resemble a lady from a reputable family at all, you’re more like a bandit.”

Yian Jingxue snorted with laughter and gave her a disdainful look, “You sure wish to be a lady from a reputable family, don’t you? But you can’t be! Why? Because you’re poor! So poor that you can’t afford fancy clothes or expensive jewelry!”

Yian Jingxue folded her arms and laughed coldly, “Being poor isn’t wrong; as long as you have a kind heart and a graceful demeanor, a fifty-dollar dress can make you look like a fairy. But being poor and poisonous is unacceptable. You are so fixated on money that your heart has turned black. Your whole being emits a revolting stench. You, trying to flirt with my Brother Zuo? Go and take a good look at yourself and stop embarrassing me here!”

“You… you…” Yian Chaoyu stomped her foot in frustration, “So what if you have some damned money? What’s so great about that?”

“Yes, I do have some damned money, there’s nothing great about me,” Yian Jingxue said, “So I beg you, stop sucking my blood like leeches. If you are capable of working, then do something to make money instead of always trying to mooch off of me. Can’t you have a little shame?”

Yian Chaoyu was twenty years old that year, right at the age where saving face mattered the most.

A woman who doesn’t love handsome men is probably rare in this world.

Yian Chaoyu, too, was a common person; upon entering the door and seeing Gu Junzhu and Han Zuo, her eyes lit up.

Such noble and handsome men, she had only ever seen on television before.

But now, they were within arm’s reach.

Hearing Yian Jingxue introduce Han Zuo as her boyfriend filled her heart with what felt like sulfuric acid, painfully unbearable.
