I married a petty hooligan in place of my sister, living a life of poverty. Who knew that my husband would suddenly transform into a mysteriously powerful and influential tycoon?

"Being sentimental depends on who you're being sentimental with," Jiang Can said calmly. "I'm willing to repay those who are good to me with a sincere heart. But why should I be soft-hearted towards those who are bad to me, or even those who hurt me?"

"Yes, that's right!" Wang Meiyun patted her shoulder.

Like Fu Xiuyu, she was also a woman who clearly distinguished between love and hate.

Jiang Can felt lucky. She had thought that Huo Zhixing's two mothers would be difficult to deal with, but it turned out that they were both easy to get along with.

After touching up her makeup, Wang Meiyun smiled at Jiang Can, "I have to meet some business associates later. Since they're from the Wang family, it's not convenient to bring you along..."

“It’s okay!” Jiang Can quickly said, “I’m not a child, I can take care of myself.”

"I originally planned to have Zhixin stay with you, but who knew she would bump her head at this critical moment and is still resting at home today!"

Jiang Can felt a shiver run down her spine when she thought of Huo Zhixin's pale and timid appearance.

Just then, someone knocked on the door, and Aunt Cen walked in with a smile. After greeting Wang Meiyun, she went to Jiang Can's side.

"Young Master told me that Miss Zhixin couldn't accompany you, so he sent this old woman instead!"

Jiang Can nodded.

Wang Meiyun went out to entertain guests, while Jiang Can leaned lazily on the sofa, lost in thought.

"Miss Jiang," Aunt Cen asked with a smile, "aren't you going to the banquet?"

"I don't really want to go..."

"Is it because the young master isn't by your side that you can't muster the energy to do anything?"

"Aunt Cen!" Jiang Can blushed and smiled shyly.

"Young people are so kind." Aunt Cen smiled broadly. "Miss Jiang, all you and the young master need now is a child! How was the soup I made for you these past few days?"

Before he could finish speaking, there was a sudden noise outside, as if someone was trying to open the door to the lounge.

Jiang Can was in the inner room of the suite.

She was taken aback and gestured for Aunt Cen to go and take a look.

"It might be Miss Yao." Aunt Cen frowned. "I ran into her in the corridor when I came here. Wait here, I'll go get the young master!"

"No need." Jiang Can composed herself and looked around.

She thought that if it was Yao Manning, then she definitely had ill intentions, and she had to find a way to protect herself.

But this is a luxury suite in a hotel, and there is no way there could be any surveillance devices in the room.

She bit her lip, and then she heard noises outside again.

"Miss Yao, why are you standing here?"
