CHAPTER 410: CHAPTER 403: FIRST CLASH WITH TANG ANXIN

Sisi heightened her inner alertness to Level 12, conversing with Jin Yan with a detached coolness, although Jin Yan was persistent and repeatedly found topics to chat with her about.

Moreover, this Jin Yan turned out to be quite learned, able to hold his own in discussions of astronomy and geography. Together with his handsome appearance and refined demeanor, it was hard for people to dislike him or to reject him.

Even Mo Liu found him remarkably easy to talk to, which was quite a rarity. Mo Liu might seem mild-mannered, but he was actually very stubborn. He never wasted words on people he disliked. Now, to see him chatting and laughing with Sixth Brother Jin suggested that Mo Liu genuinely liked him.

At this moment, Jin Yan and Mo Liu were passionately discussing the art of painting. It turned out that Jin Yan was also a graduate of the Fine Arts Academy and was currently an arts teacher.

In the martial-focused Jin family, only Jin Yan chose the path of a scholar, and indeed, he was a rather unique vista within the Jins; no wonder Jin Wen had fallen for her own cousin.

Seeing that Jin Yan was no longer pestering her, Sisi let out a sigh of relief. Although she wasn’t afraid of Jin Wen, she really didn’t want to deal with someone with psychological issues. She preferred to avoid them as much as possible!

But, what’s inevitable would come sooner or later!

"Brother, Sixth Brother Jin, Brother Yuxi, so you’re here? What are you talking about, looking so happy?"

A crisp voice rose from behind Sisi. Sisi subconsciously turned around, and upon seeing the two people behind her, alarms went off in her head.

Could no one have a good time anymore?

The people who had arrived were Jin Wen and Tang Anxin; however, at this point, Sisi still did not know Tang Anxin, merely recognizing her as the girl who had set a water trap outside the restroom to harm her!

Damn it, I’ve been looking for you, and here you come knocking at my door.

In front of Jin Yan, Jin Wen was quite docile, her face sporting a sweet smile that made her look much more animated.

"Sixth Brother, are these your friends?"

Jin Wen’s voice was similar to Jin Yan’s—husky and low—but while the same voice sounded pleasant from Jin Yan, when spoken by Jin Wen, it became harsh and unpleasant.

Jin Yan was very fond of his only sister and quickly introduced them with a smile: "They’re new friends I’ve just met. Ah Wen, let Sixth Brother introduce them to you."

"Sure! The friends of Sixth Brother are my friends, too!" Jin Wen said cheerily, but to Sisi, such a Jin Wen felt even more terrifying.

Although Jin Wen hid it well, Sisi could still feel the deep malice within Jin Wen—a malice filled with the scent of blood!

Perhaps Jin Wen was pondering how to kill her right now?

Steamed or braised?

Sisi suddenly shivered and looked towards Jin Wen. Their eyes met—Jin Wen had a smile on her face, but her eyes held not a hint of humor, filled instead with murderous intent.

Spring breezes blew, drums of war thundered; in this world, WHO was afraid of WHO!

Remembering Old Man Yun’s order not to lose face, Sisi immediately straightened up, smiled radiantly at Jin Wen, and then turned to Jin Yan, saying:

"Jin Yan, you and your sister don’t really look alike, do you?"

Jin Wen’s complexion changed drastically, and her eyes got colder as she looked at Sisi, who pretended to be startled and hid behind Shangguan.

"Little sister Jin Wen, what’s wrong? Did I say something out of line?"

Jin Yan also noticed his cousin’s abrupt change of expression, furrowed his brows, and rebuked, "Ah Wen, why are you being so rude to our guest?"

Sisi chuckled to herself, thinking how the role of the white lotus is truly unbeatable!

Lady Enforcer VS Bai Lianhua, Bai Lianhua wins by a landslide!

After scolding his sister, Jin Yan turned back to apologize to Sisi, "I’m sorry, Ah Wen has been spoiled by our elders, I apologize on her behalf!"

"It’s okay, Jin Wen is still young, I won’t take offense."

Sisi acted like the bigger person, watching Jin Wen almost choke with anger inside, wishing she could smash Sisi into pieces right then and there, but with Sixth Brother present, she had to suppress her bloodthirsty desires and feign innocence again.

However, this pretense of innocence was only for Jin Yan’s benefit; towards everyone else, she maintained an attitude of ’mind your own business’. Fortunately, everyone was aware of her temper and didn’t hold it against her.

"So, you’re Mr. He, Brother Yuxi’s colleague? I didn’t expect Mr. He to be so beautiful?" Tang Anxin feigned surprise.

"It’s alright, my parents made me look good," Sisi accepted the compliment shamelessly.

Tang Anxin felt a lump in her throat. How could He Sisi have such thick skin? Shouldn’t one be modest when receiving such praise?

Sisi laughed to herself: I’m naturally better looking than you, why be modest?

Zhang Jie couldn’t help but laugh out loud. She was around the same age as Tang Anxin and had a similar relationship with Lei Gang as Tang Anzhi did with Tang Anxin. She and Tang Anxin hadn’t gotten along since they were young, and seeing Tang Anxin stifled brought Zhang Jie great joy.

With old grudges resurfacing, Tang Anxin only wished her parents had given her an extra mouth to deal with these two.

Jin Yan was reluctant to leave the table, and neither was Jin Wen or Tang Anxin, so they brought chairs from elsewhere and squeezed themselves in.

Sisi was currently discussing with everyone the incident that had occurred in the restroom.

"You have no idea, someone despicable must have done it on purpose, spilling a big puddle of water at the entrance of the restroom. If it hadn’t been for Jin Yan catching me, I might have taken a nasty fall!"

"To think there are such malicious people in the world, it’s despicable! Luckily, you’re okay, Sisi!" Tang Anzhi spoke vehemently, intent on winning the favor of the beauty, making Tang Anxin’s face grow darker by the second.

Sisi found it amusing and feigned remembrance, turning to Tang Anxin and saying, "Anxin, you went out before I did, right? Did you see any puddle of water on the floor when you left? It was dry when I went in!"

Tang Anxin involuntarily gulped, glanced at Sisi, and seeing her seemingly sarcastic smile, wondered if He Sisi knew something.

But even if she did know, it wouldn’t matter without proof. Realizing this, Tang Anxin calmed herself down, shook her head, and said, "No, there wasn’t!"

"That’s strange then, because it wasn’t long after you left that I went out, only a minute or two. Who would play such a prank? It’s so odd!"

Sisi’s words were partly muttered to herself and partly for others to hear. Tang Anxin, still young and impulsive, showed a sign of discomfort on her face.

Since Jin Yan had previously seen Tang Anxin pouring something behind her back, and now witnessing her expression, she became even more certain that Tang Anxin was responsible for the puddle. She felt a growing dislike for her sister’s friend, who could do such shameless deeds secretly. The character was really lacking, and she thought it wise to keep Ah Wen away from Tang Anxin in the future.
