Chapter 304 - 285: Win Or Lose-I

Stepping out of the room after seeing the albums, Li Lian wondered when the rest of the relatives would come if all would come? But seeing Madam Li and the power her words had, she was sure the rest members of the family know to follow Madam Li's words and come by the house to attend the autumn festival.

Li Lian walked outside of the room while Madam Li had to leave to meet Master Li who was called. Jin Nu Yuan followed her and the young woman wasn't the exact quiet child she posed herself to be in front of Madam Li. She didn't hold her tongue to say, "You are much more of a liar than I think, Li Lian. I should say I never expected it."

Li Lian smiled at the young woman. From what Li Lian heard Jin Nu Yuan was a doctor with plenty of achievement because of her smart head on her shoulders like all Li Family members are blessed with but the young woman didn't have the brightest heart that could suit her smart mind.

"In what exactly did I lied?" Li Lian asked the young woman back her eyes shifting from the window to Jin Nu Yuan.

Jin Nu Yuan drew her brows at Li Lian's question as if she didn't know what she did. Her legs didn't stop to follow Li Lian, "Everything you said to grandmother!" It was all but lies!

"Did I?" asked Li Lian back that stunned Jin Nu Yuan. "If I did, you should have proofed my lie in front of grandmother Li. But you didn't. Wouldn't it mean I did not say any lie? If you are confident that I lied, you could tell the truth to her. Or instead, should I take the pleasure to?" replied Li Lian, holding on her ground on the young woman who wanted to blame her.

Jin Nu Yuan couldn't reply, was Li Lian threatening her? If she could tell the truth, Jin Nu Yuan would have done it but if she did that, it would only turn her spot into a worse place. Jin Nu Yuan clenched her hand, her eyes then shifted behind when a voice came behind them,

"Nu Yuan?" asked the woman who was behind the two. Li Lian turned her head, to see the woman walking down on the ground with her shoes making way toward them.

The woman was a pretty lady with a slender figure and short black hair that fell short a little above her neck, just by the look, Li Lian would have mistaken the woman for a model.

She walked toward them with the same gentle smile that was very pleasing to see in the house. Behind the woman was a maid whose hair was brown in color, the maid was the same one who had stayed in the sitting room with Li Lian earlier. Li Lian wondered where was Wen, the maid who was assigned for her as she was changed into the brown haired maid.

"Sister Linyue, I didn't get to see you earlier with my brother. He told me that you were resting before he leaves, did you see where he goes?" asked Jin Nu Yuan with a smile that was not true to be seen with.

"I didn't see Suzheng yet. I was resting but it feels like it's been long since I come here and I want to walk a little," said Linyue who was Jin Suzheng's wife Li Lian heard of and the woman's eyes fell on Li Lian when the woman smiled, Li Lian returned the woman's smile. "Are you Jun Wei's wife?" asked the woman with a gleeful smile.

"Yes I am, my name is Li Lian, it's nice to meet you." Li Lian introduced herself for the woman to come beside her.

"I've been wanting to meet you, of course, the entire family was including me. Just like grandmother described you are a very gorgeous woman! My name is Linyue, as in laws in this house, let's be a close friend." said the woman as she hugged and pull herself from Li Lian.

Jin Nu Yuan's lips were itching to warn her sister in law not to speak with Li Lian but that would only increase suspicions. Jin Nu Yuan didn't want to be blamed as someone who drifts the family apart or creates sparks. Madam and Master Li hated family's friction the most and they wouldn't let a fight break inside the house. If it happens where Jin Nu Yuan was pointed as a person who made the discomfort, she would be scolded and worse kicked out of the family which deep down she believed would never happen to her as her grandparents were very fond of her.

"Sister Linyue, my brother was searching you earlier, I think it is important. He must be searching for you now," said Jin Nu Yuan so the woman wouldn't talk too long with Li Lian whose hobby was stretching the truth.

"Suzheng did?" asked Linyue curiously and as if she had called a devil's name, Jin Suzheng appeared from behind.

Li Lian saw the man seemed as if he was jogging. Had Jin Suzheng ran the entire time as soon as he left the sitting room? The house may be cold but if one ran for a long time, sweat was inevitable to come and cover their face which was what happened to Jin Suzheng now.

"Linyue I've been searching for you, I thought you were in the room," said Jin Suzheng, his tone patient that anyone would think he was a very doting husband.

"I was getting fresh air for a while, have you been running?" Linyue came beside her husband go reached out her hand with the snowy handkerchief as the man stopped her hand and took the handkerchief for himself.

"You should bring your phone with you next time, I thought you were lost in the house," answered Jin Suzheng for his wife to nod.

"I thought I didn't need it, what did you need me for?" Linyue asked with her head tilted, her eyes were purely curious. Jin Suzheng looked at Li Lian when their eyes meet the man offered a smile then his face bent down to Linyue.

"Let's get back to the room first." Even though Linyue still wanted to talk with Li Lian, hearing her husband's words made her put her intention at a later day.

"I will see you again," said Linyue before she left the place, hand in hand with Jin Suzheng. Jin Nu Yuan who didn't say anything also left to follow her brother as if to speak something urgent or to put her nose into their conversation.
