Jiang Xuelin didn't understand why Fu Hanlai was so upset and felt utterly innocent.
I find it very incomprehensible.
Fu Hanlai was indeed a playboy, but not the kind who overly emphasized hierarchy. After all, there weren't many people in the world more noble than him, so when he used the word "alluring" to describe the woman, Jiang Xuelin only felt...
Is this guy having a seizure?
That's what she thought, and that's what she asked.
What's wrong with you now?
Fu Hanlai paused for a moment, then jumped up even higher!
"Jiang Xuelin! Get your facts straight! You are the daughter-in-law of the Prince of Ping's mansion, and the Crown Princess of this young master! How dare you flirt with other women! And in front of me no less! Don't you respect me at all?!"
The woman sitting next to Jiang Xuelin pursed her lips, almost bursting into laughter. She tried to hold it in, but couldn't help it. "Young Master, my relationship with Miss Jiang is not like that. I simply admire Miss Jiang. You've misunderstood."
"I admire Miss Jiang, and it is my honor to have the opportunity to serve her."
The few playboys sitting nearby looked at this one and then at that one, finding the whole thing extremely strange.
It looks familiar, yet it doesn't quite look the same; in short, the sense of déjà vu is very strong.
Unable to describe the scene at that moment, Yu Bo couldn't help but touch his nose and lower his voice to ask his companion, "Hey, third brother, don't you think the conversation between the young master and Miss Qingwan sounds a little familiar?"
"...It does seem somewhat familiar."
But I can't remember where I've seen it before.
Fu Hanlai sneered when he heard the woman's words.
"Your words can only fool that idiot Jiang Xuelin. I won't fall for your tricks!" Fu Hanlai's gaze pierced Qingwan like knives, his voice filled with gritted teeth. "I've seen plenty of women like you. You look innocent, but you're more cunning than anyone else. You're just trying to gain that idiot Jiang Xuelin's sympathy. What do you mean you just admire her? Are you going to say that you're content just staying by her side like a kitten or puppy?"
Yu Bo and others: "..."
The case is solved! Now I know why it looked so familiar.
Aren't these the kinds of things concubines say to men? They whine and beg for mercy, asking for nothing in return, just wanting to be with the man... They are all children of wealthy families, so they have naturally seen a lot of the tricks used in the inner quarters.
I didn't think of all that just now because the singer named Qingwan wasn't saying these things to Fu Hanlai, the heir apparent of the Prince of Ping, but to Jiang Xuelin, the heir apparent's wife.
—I have never seen a woman use this method on another woman!
Thinking back to how attentive the other party was in serving Jiang Xuelin her meal just now... I think I can understand why the young master was so angry.
Jiang Xuelin remained calm despite being called an idiot several times by the irritated Fu Hanlai, only glancing at him lightly. The woman also fell silent for a moment upon hearing these words.
Then she raised a gentle smile tinged with admiration, her voice cautious and shy, making one feel an irresistible tenderness. She parted her lips and spoke in the same gentle and shy tone, "I know my status is lowly, but my admiration for you is genuine. If you are willing, I am willing to stay by your side like a kitten or puppy."
As she spoke, her beautiful, affectionate eyes drifted towards Jiang Xuelin.
Fu Hanlai: "..."
This is outrageous!
This is absolutely outrageous!
How dare they provoke him to his face!
The talk about cats and dogs was clearly something he said on purpose by this woman!
This is outrageous!
“Jiang Xuelin, if you really fall for this woman's tricks, I will absolutely despise you! Your hypocrisy can only fool fools, making them think they are truly the other's god. You're average-looking, average-figured, average-voiced, and can't even lift a finger…”
Jiang Xuelin put down her cup, which landed on the table with a crisp sound. She looked at Fu Hanlai with disapproval, her brows furrowing. "It was just a joke, Fu Hanlai. What's wrong with you? Why are you so petty? You can't even take a joke like this?"
"Is this how you describe a woman—your upbringing and manners? Aren't you asking for a beating?"
He was just babbling on and on, and Jiang Xuelin was waiting for the wedding procession to arrive downstairs, so she didn't want to bother with him. Who knows what he's up to now!
But now Fu Hanlai's words were getting more and more outrageous, and Jiang Xuelin couldn't hold back anymore.
In terms of status, these women were indeed of low status, but that was not a reason for them to become Fu Han's target. What good young lady would want to be reduced to a lowly status?
Besides, everyone here comes from a wealthy and powerful family and has been living a life of luxury since childhood. But who can be sure that one day you won't be reduced to a lowly status?
Anyone but Fu Han could come.
Jiang Xuelin understood the ever-changing nature of officialdom.
Flowers don't bloom for a hundred days.
"They did not willingly degrade themselves or voluntarily enter into a lowly status."
It was rare to hear a fair word. Qingwan, who was sitting next to Jiang Xuelin, was stunned for a moment and finally understood why all her friends liked this girl from the Jiang family so much.
Few respectable women would look down on people like them, let alone a pampered and favored girl like Jiang Xuelin. Even women from ordinary families would look down on them.
It was as if they were born lowly.
But if given the choice, who wouldn't want to marry a good man, have children, and become someone's legal wife?
Men pity them yet despise them, while women scorn them and loathe them. These women are naturally enemies of the women outside.
Because their patrons were all each other's fathers, brothers, and husbands.
So Qingwan never imagined that one day she would hear a fair word from a woman.
I felt a warmth in my heart.
However, Qingwan and the other women who stopped playing because of Fu Hanlai's anger felt a warmth in their hearts, while Fu Hanlai felt as if his heart was being burned by a raging fire.
I'm so angry!
This is infuriating!
Fu Hanlai used to not understand why those wives would lose their temper and become irrational after being provoked by concubines. He thought they were not magnanimous or clear-headed enough. Now, facing such a situation himself, he finally understood the frustration and anger he felt.
I'm so angry!
He's never been this angry!
He was clearly speaking up for Jiang Xuelin, and it was clearly all Jiang Xuelin's fault, but instead Jiang Xuelin blamed him.
ha!
Fu Hanlai was completely unaware of what his current anger would look like to others; in any case, Yu Bo and the others were stunned.
