After Four Years, They Were Back at the Same Place 2

“Big sister, isn’t brother-in-law being a little too rude to you? What he just did was like a slap to your face.” Two rows away, Xu Qian was staring at Leng Yejin. “Don’t tell me that he’s not planning to acknowledge the marriage pact between the two of you. Why have you not gone to bed with him yet?”

“Do you think that it would be easy to do so? The more powerful a man is, the more choosy he is when it comes to women. So many women are willingly giving themselves to him, but he’s interested in none of them.” Xu Jing was in an extremely bad mood, and she was trying her best to look calm. “He probably cares a lot about his deceased brother, because if otherwise, my future father-in-law wouldn’t have brought Professor Shuo’s widow and daughter home. I should have just stayed at home tonight.”

“Big sister, you’re being too reserved, and you don’t know how to win a man’s heart. I’ll think of a way for you to bed him tonight.”

“What do you plan to do? Don’t act rashly.” Xu Jing was worried that her sister would ruin things.

“Don’t worry, I have no intention of acting rashly. Women should get into predicaments every now and then so that their men can save them. It’s just like how brother-in-law helped your sister-in-law just now. Let me tell you…” Xu Qian whispered something to Xu Jing, and a hint of interest flashed past Xu Jing’s eyes. “But if we do this, will he…”

“What’s the point of being so reserved? Do you really think that he won’t save you if you’re drugged with an aphrodisiac? You’re his future wife. Do you think that he would prefer it if somebody else had sex with you instead in order to counter the effect of the aphrodisiac? Let me tell you, after sex, you guys will get closer…”

Xu Jing could not help but imagine the way the god-like man would be coming to her rescue, and anticipation started bubbling up in her heart…

A banquet was held after the auction ended. When Leng Yejin was invited by the organizer to give a speech on stage, Xu Jing walked over to Tong Lu.

One of the organizers, who was standing on the stage, tried to get an inside scoop. He asked Leng Yejin about his relationship with his deceased brother. How close must they have been, to the point that he would spend one-hundred million RMB on his sister-in-law? Leng Yejin flashed a flat smile. “Pleasing my sister-in-law is secondary. I mainly did so to contribute some money to better the lives of the children in the village.”

Tong Lu gazed at the man on the stage. He was not speaking in a boastful tone, and she could feel that what he had just said came from the bottom of his heart. Even though he had just spent one-hundred RMB, he was definitely not the same as those rich men’s sons who spent money like dirt.

“Isn’t he an admirable person? That’s the kind of man he is.” Xu Jing’s voice suddenly rang out beside Tong Lu’s ears. “Sister-in-law, let me reintroduce myself. My name is Xu Jing, and I’m the one who was chosen by Elder Leng out of many women before he passed away to be his granddaughter-in-law. Regarding what happened today, I really…”

Xu Jing stopped speaking and flashed an apologetic smile. She waved at a service crew member and took two glasses of wine from him. She handed one of the glasses of wine to Tong Lu and reserved the one that was laced with an aphrodisiac for herself. “Sister-in-law, I’ll drink to you to show my apology.”

Tong Lu shifted her gaze away in embarrassment and took the glass of wine. “It’s okay. Please don’t take what happened just now to heart either.”

Xu Jing felt like someone was stabbing her eyeballs with needles as she gazed at the jade pendant hanging from Tong Lu’s neck. However, she flashed an elegant smile and made small talk with Tong Lu for a short while. She then turned and left to look for her younger sister.

“When will the aphrodisiac start working? I’m worried that Leng Yejin might leave early.”

“Five minutes.”

Xu Jing glanced at her watch. “It’s been ten minutes. Why isn’t it working yet?”
