Chu Xixuan looked at Lan Ziye worriedly, then at his grandfather. After thinking for a moment, he asked Lan Ziye, "Are you okay on your own?"

Lan Ziye glanced at Jin Ruoxi. She wasn't a pushover, so why was she afraid that Jin Ruoxi wouldn't be able to squeeze her? →_→

It would be better if Chu Xixuan was no longer around. She could now study this Bing Xinlan openly and honestly. (*＾-＾*)

Lan Ziye smiled broadly and said, "It's okay, go ahead!"

Chu Xixuan hesitated for a moment, but still followed the old man into the villa. Suddenly, only a few gardeners taking care of the flowers and plants, Lan Ziye, and Jin Ruoxi were left in the garden.

"These gardeners are all deaf and dumb!" Jin Ruoxi instantly put away her warm and friendly face and said with a cold face.

"So, they can't hear what you say now. Even if you scold me, threaten me, or insult me, you can't hear it?" Lan Ziye said indifferently.

"Actually, it doesn't matter if they heard it, because they have long determined that I will be the hostess here. They will not speak for you, and they will not complain about me in front of Brother Chu and Grandpa. Of course, even if they go to complain, Brother Chu and Grandpa will not believe it. They will only believe me!" Jin Ruoxi said arrogantly.

"Then why do you insist on being deaf and dumb?" Lan Ziye said, looking at Jin Ruoxi with amusement. "Also, what exactly do you want to tell me? If you have something to say, just say it. If you have something to say, fart quickly. You're so long-winded!"

Jin Ruoxi really didn't know where Lan Ziye got the confidence to be so calm. Shouldn't she be crying and begging her to let her go?

The more Jin Ruoxi thought about it, the angrier she became. She said coldly, "Leave now and never meet Brother Chu again. Then I'll let you go and let you stay in Lanxuan College safely until graduation. Otherwise..."

Lan Ziye raised a sarcastic smile and said, "How about otherwise?"

Jin Ruoxi looked at Lan Ziye in disbelief. She had made her words so clear, so how could this woman not be afraid?

Not to mention her relationship with the Chu family, even as the eldest daughter of the Jin family, Lan Ziye couldn't afford to offend her. Could it be that ignorance is the root of all fear?

Jin Ruoxi took a deep breath and continued, "Give up on this idea. Grandpa will never agree to Brother Chu marrying a girl from the Lan family! Brother Chu won't be interested in you either! If you keep insisting on it, you'll only be embarrassed in the end!" After a pause, she continued, "And Second Brother, you're trying to play catch-up between Brother Chu and Second Brother. This will only anger Grandpa, and then you won't be the only one who'll be in trouble. Who knows, your entire family might be in trouble!"

"Playing around between the Chu brothers?" Lan Ziye was stunned by Jin Ruoxi's words. Was this something a lady from a noble family would say? Besides, when had she ever played around between the Chu brothers?

Suddenly, Lan Ziye felt too lazy to pay attention to Jin Ruoxi. She sighed and said, "Whatever you think!" Anyway, she didn't care.

After saying that, Lan Ziye walked straight towards the pot of Ice Heart Orchid. She wanted to see if that Ice Heart Orchid was one of the ones her third brother raised, or if it was the offspring of those Ice Heart Orchids.

Just as she took a step forward, Jin Ruoxi suddenly grabbed her arm.

Lan Ziye turned around and met Jin Ruoxi's resentful eyes.

"Let go!" Lan Ziye was also angry at this time and said with a cold face.
