No sooner had Chen Jiajia left than Qin Wan immediately congratulated Jiang Nanyu with a smile.
"Chen Xi is so intelligent at such a young age. Brother Nanyu is very lucky in the future."
Jiang Nanyu stared at her for a long while with a grim expression, and said in a deep voice, "It is the greatest blessing Jiang Yan has accumulated over eight lifetimes to be able to marry you."
"He hasn't even acknowledged you as his girlfriend yet, and you're already rushing to give him advice and schemes to seize his assets."
"Qin Wan, we've known each other for so many years, how come I never realized you were so amazing?"
Even though Jiang Nanyu had cultivated for many years, he was still struggling to hold back after being tricked by Qin Wan today.
"Of course it's because you're so capable, Brother Nanyu, that you don't need me," Qin Wan said modestly.
“Look, you don’t even need my help with your son, Brother Nanyu, you’ve taken care of everything yourself.”
"For Brother Nanyu, all I've ever needed to do is be a pretty face, hasn't I?"
Jiang Nanyu's attitude was unfriendly, so Qin Wan naturally stopped pretending to be friendly with him.
Jiang Nanyu stared at her with a grim expression, his thin lips pressed tightly together, his face extremely unpleasant.
However, Qin Wan remained smiling, seemingly unaffected, and even appeared to be watching him make a fool of himself.
Seeing this, Jiang Nanyu looked at Jiang Yan with a grim expression.
“With Wanwan’s temper, Ayan will probably have a hard time in the future.”
Jiang Yan glanced at him indifferently, then considerately poured Qin Wan a glass of warm water.
"To moisten your throat."
Qin Wan accepted it with a smile and gave Jiang Yan a gentle smile.
“Wanwan’s temperament is indeed not good. She doesn’t seem to mind talking so much, but it breaks my heart.”
Upon hearing this, Jiang Nanyu's face turned pale.
How come he never noticed before that Jiang Yan could be so sharp-tongued?
Instead of worrying about me and Wanwan, you should worry about yourself.
"Given your understanding of your grandfather, you should know better than anyone what his purpose was in doing that just now."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Nanyu's eyes shot towards Jiang Yan with sharp, piercing gazes.
If looks could kill, Jiang Yan would probably be riddled with holes by now.
"Grandpa is very dissatisfied with you regarding the land in the east of the city."
"My affairs are none of your business!" Jiang Nanyu snapped, unable to contain himself any longer.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Yan remained calm and unmoved, even nodding in agreement.
"I think so too."
A double entendre...
Jiang Nanyu's breathing became much heavier.
"Brother Nanyu, I remember Grandpa Jiang used to love praising your calmness and self-control," Qin Wan added sarcastically.
With the help of the two, Jiang Nanyu was successfully angered and stormed off.
No sooner had Jiang Nanyu left than Chen Jiajia emerged from around the corner.
Watching Jiang Nanyu's departing figure, Chen Jiajia couldn't help but shake her head and sigh.
"I was truly blind before."
Hearing the sound, Qin Wan turned her head to look at her, a slight smile playing on her lips.
“He wasn’t like this before,” Qin Wan said.
Chen Jiajia shook her head in disagreement, "He's just blinded by greed. He wasn't like this before because he was the only son of the Jiang family and didn't have a sense of crisis."
"Now they're just revealing their true colors."
Thinking of this, Chen Jiajia's delicate face immediately fell.
"How could I have been so bewitched before?"
How old was I back then?
"If you can't think straight, you might as well sacrifice yourself to save him."
"I actually gave birth to such a big son for him? And raised and educated him all by myself. Now that Xixi is so sensible, Jiang Nanyu doesn't have to put in any effort or energy. He just got a free lunch."
"I feel like I've been cheated," Chen Jiajia said, feigning disappointment and melancholy.
Upon hearing this, Qin Wan chuckled, "Isn't it just a mutually beneficial arrangement between you and him?"
Chen Jiajia's eyes flickered, and after a brief two-second eye contact with Qin Wan, she finally gave in.
"I admit it."
"What I'm attracted to isn't him as a person."
"Unfortunately, no matter how much you plan, you can't outsmart fate," Chen Jiajia sighed.
She wanted to become the young mistress of the Jiang family and change her fate, but she never expected that Jiang Nanyu was just an illegitimate child who had usurped her place.
But it doesn't really matter.
We have a son and we've also acquired shares, even if they're not many.
At least Chen Xi's future life will not be as turbulent and miserable as it was when she was young.
"Regretted it?" Qin Wan asked, raising an eyebrow.
Chen Jiajia shook her head, "It's not that bad."
"He has a good physique and looks, and he doesn't drink excessively, play around with women, gamble, or use drugs... He also doesn't commit domestic violence against women."
"Moreover, I have a physical examination every year, so I am in good health and have no problems with my academic abilities."
“If I marry him, I will have enough time and energy to improve myself, and Xixi will also be able to receive the best education and resources. His future life will be different.”
"Besides, even if we can't make it work after we get married, we can just get a divorce then."
"That way, I can get a substantial amount of marital assets when we get divorced. Then I can go wherever I want, no matter how big the world is."
As she spoke, a look of longing for the future appeared on Chen Jiajia's face.
She is a person who plans her life very well.
Thinking of this, Chen Jiajia suddenly looked at Qin Wan, "I could regret it before I met Jiang Nanyu."
"I can regret it after I get married."
"There's no time to regret now."
"I've already had the children and raised them to adulthood. If I regret it now, then everything I've done will have been in vain."
Upon hearing this, Qin Wan raised an eyebrow and nodded in agreement with a smile.
"You seem to trust me a lot?" Qin Wan suddenly asked.
Chen Jiajia said with a grin, "Because you helped me."
"Moreover, because we all dislike Jiangnan Island."
"As the saying goes, the enemy of my enemy is my friend, isn't that right?"
“After I marry Jiang Nanyu, you might still need my help.” With that, Chen Jiajia picked up an apple from the table and handed it to Qin Wan.
Qin Wan stared at the apple for a few seconds, then smiled and said, "I like it cut up."
“Simple.” Chen Jiajia smiled, got up and walked towards the kitchen, her words and actions were generous and open, without the slightest hint of gloom.
Seeing this, Qin Wan looked at Jiang Yan beside her.
"I think it would be a waste for her to marry Jiang Nanyu."
Jiang Yan stared intently at her with his deep black eyes. "And what about you?"
"What?" Qin Wan was taken aback, not understanding for a moment why he asked that.
"Would you feel wronged if you married me?" Jiang Yan asked.
Qin Wan: "..."
Qin Wan looked at him, seemingly helpless and also frustrated.
Finally, she couldn't resist any longer and suddenly reached out and wrapped her arms around his neck.
Their warm lips pressed tightly together...
Qin Wan's voice rang out, tinged with a hint of gritted teeth...
"I'm not wronged."
[Jiang Yan's favorability increased by 2, current favorability 100. Congratulations, host, on completing the mission.]
When Chen Jiajia returned to the living room, she witnessed this thrilling scene.
After a moment of stunned silence, she quickly retreated back into the kitchen, not wanting to disturb the two who were deeply in love...
