Indeed, Third Sister-in-law is more to Wang Chuni’s liking.
At least, this woman, Third Sister-in-law, conducts herself in the village honestly and straightforwardly, always making things clear and never deceiving anyone. Unlike Xie Jingchen, who is nothing short of a smiling tiger.
When Yan Jinsu feels that it’s not the right ti to speak, she would just look at soone directly, smiling amiably, coaxing them to give up on their own accord.
Wang Chuni may not know how others feel, but she has been treated like this by Third Sister-in-law no less than three tis, through which she has co to understand so of Yan Jinsu’s character and virtues.
In her heart, she can only say that Third Sister-in-law is indeed a city-dweller, a Phoenix of high moral standing!
Pfft, Wang Chuni thought to herself with a covered mouth, snickering. It was as if she was secretly calling Xie Jingchen a ’villain’.
After resting for two days, Yan Jinsu’s spirits had recovered.
On the third day, without waiting for Yan Jinchang to ask, Yan Jinsu and Xie Jingchen were already prepared with gifts for the visit, bringing along Xiaojiu, Xiao Shi, and also Tao Sister, Gui Sister, as well as with Chun i, they set out toward the Yan Family.
Ever since Tao Sister and Gui Sister ca to Yan Jinsu’s side, they have been closely following Yan Jinsu and her sons throughout the day, except for disappearing at bedti.
Though Xiaojiu and Xiao Shi are their primary protection responsibilities according to the assignnt, Yan Jinsu is also a focus of their attention.
With Nanny Chen handling the als, Wang Chuni spends most of her ti by Yan Jinsu’s side. Therefore, the female soldiers spend most of their ti with the two adorable treasures.
With their escort, the two adorable treasures can go on ’treasure hunts’ all over the Siheyuan during the day.
The two female soldiers can accompany Xiaojiu and Xiao Shi while they play and jest, but neither of them is particularly good at taking care of children.
Tao Sister is not to bla; she has never had a child, so how would she know how to take care of one. As for Gui Sister, though she has given birth to a daughter who is now eleven years old, she had not retired from the military at that ti.
Thus, the child was raised by her mother-in-law from a young age until she reached seven when she was taken to live with her deceased husband’s family in the military.
But this perfect little life lasted only three years, disrupted by the accidental death of her husband on duty.
In those three years, Gui Jiayi actually didn’t spend much ti with her daughter, so after her husband passed away, in order to provide for her family and take care of her increasingly frail mother-in-law, she had no choice but to let her daughter stay with her mother-in-law back in their hotown while she went out to earn a living.
Fortunately, the pay offered by Xie Jingchen was genuinely attractive. For the sake of her mother-in-law and daughter, Gui Sister didn’t hesitate to accept the job. Moreover, since her cousin had also taken the job, she felt even more reassured in taking it.
Sotis reality is just cruel—money can make the world go ’round. But being human, one must have a moral baseline; otherwise, no matter how wealthy or privileged, if one crosses that ethical line, one’s conscience will not let them off easily.
When Yan Jinsu arrived at the Yan Family with her husband and son, she happened to witness a spectacle—Yan Jinxian [Zhang Shan Ni].
Uh, in fact, it was not by chance that Yan Jinsu encountered her, but rather inevitable.
Ever since Yan Jinsu appeared in Beijing, Yan Jinxian felt a tightness in her heart, as if a voice was telling her: beware, your ’arch-enemy’ of life has arrived!
Originally, Yan Jinxian would co to the Yan Family once a week just to mark her presence.
This sense of ’hostility’ as it arose, Yan Jinxian was anxiously troubled for three consecutive days, visiting the Yan Family Mansion daily to report. She did not create a scene or make a fuss, rely stood outside the Yan Family Mansion, boldly displaying her stance.
After all, no matter what her birth mother had done, she was, after all, a girl who had been pampered in the Yan Family for eighteen years, and now that she had ’married’ into Beijing, the wish to reclaim her ties with the Yan Family went without saying - it was understood by all.
Not to seize a presented advantage would be folly! Moreover, to Yan Jinxian, the Yan Family was her maternal ho! She only recognized this maternal ho.
Regarding the Zhang Family of Shanglin Village, she had absolutely no sense of belonging.
No one would feel a sense of belonging in her place. Yan Jinxian was clear in her heart, fortunate that back then she was still a helpless and ignorant ’infant’. Even if outsiders were to hold grudges, those in the know would not bla a small baby!
Oh, except for the people of the Yan Family!
If Yan Jinsu knew that this fake Phoenix was thinking this way, she would definitely scoff.
Not to bla her, then whom to bla!
False benevolence and hypocrisy.
Yan Jinsu had no mood to deal with her with pretense or patience. She didn’t even roll down the car window, peering through the transparent glass to see Yan Jinxian standing outside the gate, staring at her with a gaze that might as well kill.
"Aunt Tao, Sister Gui, Chun i, that woman outside the gate, watch her closely. She’s an extrely dangerous person. The mont she cos within a hundred ters, we must be on ergency alert to protect Jinsu and her two children."
Xie Jingchen gripped the steering wheel tightly, his tiger-like eyes glaring ominously at where Yan Jinxian stood, yet spoke to the three won in the rear seat. Sensing the change in Yan Jinsu’s mood, he tensed up and warned them.
"Yes, commander. We’ll keep that in mind."
Tao Siming and Gui Jiayi each had one of the children, Xiao Shi and Xiaojiu, sitting on their laps. The two adorable kids had been swaying sleepily in the car all the way here.
But the mont Yan Jinsu’s aura changed, the two little treasures imdiately opened their sleepy eyes, looking nervously at their mommy. Right as they overheard their father explaining to Aunt Tao and Aunt Gui, they, too, cast their gaze towards a woman outside the car—
In a light pink floral white dress, her plump figure and her hair styled into gentle waves, one would think upon seeing her that surely, this lady must be well-off and fashionable.
Regardless of whether Xiaojiu and Xiao Shi understood their father’s aning, the two little ones looked at the woman with faces full of apprehension and dislike, Xiaojiu even clenching his fists.
"Mummy, don’t be afraid, Xiao Shi [Xiaojiu] and I will protect you!" Xiaojiu and Xiao Shi comforted Yan Jinsu, who was sitting in the passenger seat, at the sa ti.
A pity that the kids were too little, not even reaching the height of her thighs. Despite their ferocious expressions, they were of no help in the situation.
"My treasures, be good, Mummy isn’t scared! You’re still little, you need to first protect yourselves, grow up safely, then you can have strong bodies to protect Mummy, okay..."
Yan Jinsu first looked back at her two affectionate little treasures, softly cautioning them. After receiving their promise, she then exchanged a satisfied smile with her husband.
Secretly, the sensation of a ’sworn enemy’ felt peculiarly stark, as she regarded the existence of Yan Jinxian, her heart seared with hatred as if touched by fire, fueled by an overwhelming urge to destroy her.
This woman, she must surely be her fated nesis, not to be underestimated! And her injuries were definitely connected to her. Yan Jinsu was quite bothered by the fragnts of mory concerning this woman.
But alas, it was a society governed by law. If it were not...
Yan Jinsu ended up instinctively stroking her belly, as if to comfort the babies inside, yet her attention remained fixed on Yan Jinxian—
