CHAPTER 1171: CHAPTER 234: GIVING YOUR HEART ONLY MAKES YOU DIE FASTER (PART 4)

Yan Nangui, who had seen countless beauties, was momentarily dazzled and thought to himself that Yan Song was truly lucky to have such a stunning beauty by his side.

His gaze was unabashedly appreciative, slightly frivolous, making everyone else’s expressions subtly change.

With naive innocence, Meng Junci said, "Miss Ji is so pretty, even Seventh Uncle can’t take his eyes off her."

Whether intentional or not, Yun Ya knew it was definitely the former. She glanced lightly at Meng Junci, making Meng Junci’s heart skip, while Zhuang Xiyue squinted at her. Was this the upbringing of the Meng Family’s daughter?

Meng Junci realized her faux pas and quickly lowered her head. For some reason, she just couldn’t control herself and wished she could slap herself hard right now.

"What nonsense are you saying, child? Joking with elders is not to be taken lightly." Meng Shujing lightly reprimanded Meng Junci.

"Yes, aunt, I know I was wrong." Meng Junci said, frustrated, as she lowered her head.

Zhuang Xiyue stood up with a smile, "Yun Ya, let’s switch seats."

Zhuang Xiyue ignored everyone’s stares and switched seats with Yun Ya, ending up next to Yan Nangui. Yan Nangui pouted disinterestedly, "Third Sister-in-law, what are you afraid of? If it’s yours, no one can take it; if it’s not, no matter how tightly you hold it, it’s useless."

Zhuang Xiyue felt a tinge of anger. This Xiao Qi, it was bad enough to flirt outside, but if he dared touch even a hair on Yun Ya, she’d risk all against him.

"Is that so? For those with intentions, I’m never merciful. If you don’t believe me, you can try Zhuang Xiyue’s methods." Zhuang Xiyue was still smiling, but the coldness in her voice made everyone present shiver.

She was warning Yan Nangui and everyone present.

Yan Nangui chuckled, "Third Sister-in-law’s temper is big, no wonder Third Brother is kept in line."

"Seventh Brother has been wild outside for too long, lacking someone who understands and cares. The eldest daughter of the Xiao Family has returned, and there’s an engagement already. It can’t be delayed any longer. We should take this opportunity to move the marriage forward. Xiao Ling’er is well-mannered and knowledgeable; she can help Seventh Brother settle down."

You still have much to learn to compete with me.

"Oh, no need for Third Sister-in-law to worry about that."

The breakfast ended in extreme awkwardness. After a few bites, Zhuang Xiyue left with Yun Ya in tow.

Meng Shujing looked at him helplessly, "You too, it’s one thing to fool around outside, but that’s Ah Song’s fiancée. You know your Third Sister-in-law’s temper, she’s the most protective. Of all the people you could provoke, why pick her?"

Yan Nangui raised his brows with a smile and put down his chopsticks, "I’m full now." With that, he sauntered off.

Yan Xing disliked this Seventh Uncle the most, always looking like a lecherous reincarnation, leering at everyone. On the way to school, Yan Xing was still grumbling, and Meng Junci said helplessly, "It’s not Miss Ji’s fault she’s too beautiful..."

Yan Xing glared at her, "Being beautiful is a crime? I think it’s Seventh Uncle who has a lecherous heart."

Meng Junci was left speechless.

"I’m so angry, Yan Nangui, he’s just despicable." Zhuang Xiyue was so angry her hands were shaking.

Yun Ya pursed her lips, "Aunt Zhuang, don’t be angry, it’s not worth ruining your health over."

Zhuang Xiyue took her hand, "Yun Ya, in the future, avoid him. That guy’s a madman."

Yun Ya nodded solemnly, "I know."

Midway, Zhuang Xiyue received a call saying she had to go out for something, leaving Yun Ya to return alone. On her way back, Yun Ya encountered a maid carrying a fruit platter. As they passed each other, the maid accidentally bumped into Yun Ya, who steadied herself against a pillar and frowned as she looked over.

The maid quickly lowered her head, "Sorry, sorry, it wasn’t on purpose."

The fruit platter crashed to the ground, with fruits scattering everywhere, and an apple rolled to Yun Ya’s feet.

Yun Ya bent down to pick it up and handed it back to her, "Are you okay?"

Her voice was gentle and clear, like jade beads falling on a plate, indescribably charming, especially with the concern in her tone, which warmed the heart.

The maid froze for a moment, quickly glanced up, then dropped her head again, slightly clenching her hand at her side.

"Thank you, Miss, I’ll take care of it."

She said, bending down to gather the fruits back onto the platter.

During that brief moment when the maid looked up, Yun Ya got a good look at her face: an oval face, willow leaf eyebrows, a standard beauty. Her figure was curvy in all the right places, and even the plain maid’s uniform couldn’t hide her allure.

Yun Ya’s voice became even gentler, "What’s your name, and where do you work?"

"My name is Li Xiaoxiao. I work as a kitchen helper. This fruit was for the mistress, but now it’s all ruined. The mistress has a bad temper, I...sigh." She sighed as she spoke.
