Chapter 5: Counterattack

Mr. Zhan is a very serious person, but every time he faces Jing Qian, he shows his sincerity.

He cooperated and said, "Yuxi is the granddaughter of my old friend Jiang Cheng. Before Jiang Cheng died, he asked me to take care of her. At that time, Yuxi was not yet an adult, so my plan was to take care of her until she graduated from college at the age of 23. By then, she will leave the Zhan family and live her own life, which has nothing to do with Lichuan."

The sneer on Jiang Yuxi's lips gradually disappeared after hearing the old man's words, and her face turned pale.

"grandfather?!"

Jiang Yuxi's voice was trembling as she screamed, and she couldn't believe that such words came from the mouth of Mr. Zhan himself.

She thought that even if the old man foolishly listened to the charlatan and found a low-class wife for Brother Chuan, at least he liked her more in his heart! He treated her as his own granddaughter!

Jing Qian picked up a Kung Pao shrimp with chopsticks and put it in his mouth, enjoying the home-cooked delicacy comfortably, and said: "Look, Grandpa, you see, she looks incredulous when you say it yourself. She doesn't even believe what you, her adoptive father, say. Can you still expect her to recognize her position when you are not around? Do her duty well?"

"Jing Qian, shut up!"

Jiang Yuxi only felt that her whole body was cold at this moment, and she was shaking with anger. She never thought that the old man not only did not intend to marry her to Zhan Lichuan, but even planned to drive her out of the Zhan family.

The key point is that she is already 22 years old, and only half a year away from turning 23!

Jing Qian shrugged indifferently, but facing Mr. Zhan's face, which was so serious that no one dared to act rashly, he acted without any pressure.

"Grandpa, she is always so mean to me when you are not around. Others call me Madam, but she calls me by my first name, and even calls me a bitch. She doesn't acknowledge my identity at all."

"When did I ever call you a bitch?"

Jiang Yuxi had an expression of speechlessness, shock, and I'm afraid she's sick.

Although she did yell in her heart, it was limited to yelling in her heart. She was not a fool. Without any evidence against her and being 100% sure to drive her out of the Zhan family, she would save face anyway. Jing Qian was clearly slandering her by saying this!

However, Jing Qian did not feel any psychological burden of lying, and continued, "At first, I didn't care. I didn't admit it, and I didn't live to prove anything to her. But the Third Young Master is a married man, and she, a woman temporarily adopted by the Zhan family, runs to my husband's bedroom all day long. I now seriously suspect that she is the mistress of this house, and I am just a beautiful vase displayed in the Zhan family."

While belittling Jiang Yuxi, Jing Qian did not forget to praise herself at the right time. She was quite satisfied with the new shell.

"Jing Qian, stop slandering me!" Jiang Yuxi was so angry at Jing Qian's words that her chest heaved violently.

"Slander? Then who was it this morning, wearing a thin nightgown with a faint cleavage exposed, who wanted to run into the Third Young Master's bedroom and try to feed him bird's nest?"

Jing Qian looked at a certain part of Jiang Yuxi with disdain and sneered, "I'm not saying anything bad about you, but you're wearing contact lenses and your figure is so flat that it's hard to tell whether you're male or female. If someone accidentally touches you, they'll think they've touched a man. So because you're pitiful and strong-willed, I never intended to bother with you."

Mr. Zhan: ...

Zhan Yuheng, the eldest son of the Zhan family who had been silent the whole time: ...

Seeing Jiang Yuxi's face flushed, shaking with anger, and unable to say a word, Jing Qian drank a sip of Matsutake soup in a good mood and continued -
