Chapter 314 - 295: Soaking-I

Jin Nu Yuan noticed something failing from her mother's words. Although Jin Nu Yuan often act on her anger she wasn't stupid. "What do you mean if we are lucky?" asked Jin Nu Yuan whose hand tightened on the armrest where she placed her hands on.

"What I mean as I say. We've seen how today Jun Wei choose her over us." replied her mother who stood up and took a jar of water rested on the cupboard. Like Jin Nu Yuan, Mrs. Jin was angered on Li Lian's arrival. When Li Lian arrived everything become ruined, her plans and worse Li Jun Wei was too entranced by Li Lian that he would do anything for her. At least that was what Mrs. Jin able to take after seeing her nephew with his wife.

"He is warning us that this is not the end and soon he could do worse." Mrs. Jin placed down the heavy jar on the cupboard resulting a heavy sound. "Much more than I think, Jun Wei hold power compared to his late father, my cousin."

"Mother, are you saying that brother Wei would take our company?" asked Jin Nu Yuan with her brows tense.

"He could do that as long as Li Lian is beside him." The unknown variable, thought Mrs. Jin to herself. Li Lian who no one ever expected to appear had barged in to change the dynamics in the house. Madam and Master Li didn't seem to oppose Li Lian either. Instead, they seemed to dote on Li Lian much they would be able to condone everything she wishes.

"Tomorrow, is there anyone do you want to invite, Nu Yuan?" Mrs. Jin then asked to her daughter whose face was still furious.

"Not yet but maybe Ren Linliu. She asked me if she could come." replied Jin Nu Yuan. She didn't like Ren Linliu. The woman think she is the best that clashed with Jin Nu Yuan's ambience to be the best person. When they were together one had to tolerate others but the two never tolerate people as since young they believe they were special.

Mrs. Jin took consideration. Like her daughter she didn't favor Ren Linliu but if there could anyone who come between his nephew and wife, it would be good for them. "Invite her. I will also invite her."

Jin Nu Yuan noticed the emphasis hold when her mother said her that intrigued the daughter's attention, "Who is her?" she asked and her mother smiled at her.

"You'll see her soon." and closing the conversation, Mrs. Jin then turned to look at the door that was knocked. The older woman knew by the sound of the knock it wasn't maids as usually they would tell what they came from. Getting up, she opened the door to see his son and her brows frowned at him.

"Come in." Mrs. Jin instructed to then watched his son with sharp eyes as he took seat at the chair where she had sat before. The woman crossed her hand in front of her chest with eyes clearly disappointed and angry. "Could you have done whatever you want without being known?"

Jin Suzheng was used to his mother's scolding and as an obedient son he knows not to answer and riled up his mother's anger. "I did but Jun Wei somehow find out. I don't know if he had put someone tailing on me."

"He must have done that to every and each member of the family." tsked Mrs. Jin, "He had not keep an eye only to me or your father but you and your sister too."

"Me?" Jin Nu Yuan tilted her head. "That's no way brother Wei believe in me and I never felt anyone following me." explained the girl, she still couldn't understand how Li Jun Wei could put someone tailing on her like a thief when she had been a good girl.

"Don't be stupid sister. This Jun Wei. He is far more perceptive and careful." Jin Suzheng said in disdain and sarcasm as now he had become the victim of trusting Li Jun Wei. "That wife of him. Isn't she the famous singer circulating in media?"

Mrs. Jin rarely check on singers much less Li Lian who she viewed as lower, "Is she now? Jun Wei must have done something behind to help her." Jin Nu Yuan didn't say a word but she agree completely to her mother's words. "In anyways Suzheng from now on you should not make mistake again. You can bring your mistress somewhere but in silence it's better to avoid anything these days. We can't be sure what Jun Wei would use."

"Yes, mother." obeyed Jin Suzheng.

"What about Linyue, was she suspicious of you?" Mrs. Jin then asked. Rather than questioning the condition of her daughter in law, she was more concern whether her son's affair was found out by his legal wife.

Mrs. Jin took Linyue as her son's wife knowing the woman's easily deceived nature and the wealth her family had to help their company flourish. Mrs. Jin could not have the help of their company taken away because Jin Suzheng's affair was known.

The older woman didn't warn her son to stop cheating outside his marriage and instead even support her at times. She didn't see anything wrong with men speaking out pleasure outside marriage as her husband was no different.

"No she believe in my words. Although there was a few questions." answered Jin Suzheng and his mother nodded.

"We have to be careful in the critical situation." Mrs. Jin's eyes fell on her daughter before she say, "Stay beside Li Lian for the whole holiday and I will expect you to not have a fight or insinuate one. Be on her good side."

"What?" Jin Nu Yuan couldn't believe her mother telling her to sugar coat her words for Li Lian. "I don't want to!" Jin Nu Yuan whined at her mother. She would jump off a cliff!

"It is not your choice of yes or no, young lady. It is a must and I expect you are able to do that for your wish to work in Imperial Hospital." Again her mother hardened gaze, Jin Nu Yuan could only gritted her teeth and bring her head up and down.

This was all that woman's fault! thought Jin Nu Yuan, anger coming to her head.
