Chapter 219: Chapter 219 - Kindness

I was curious. “Who is Qu Hao?”

Mai Qi sighed. “My nemesis!”

Does Mai Qi have a nemesis? But the name does sound familiar.

“How come your big brother’s surname is Qu?” It dawned on me then. Mai Qi said that she took her mother’s name and her brother took her father’s. Then again, Mai Qi’s father didn’t have the Qu surname either.

“Nanxing, Qu Yan is indeed Miss Mai Qi’s biological older brother. The name is merely a code.” Gu Nian explained.

“Oh, so he is your brother.” I did remember Mai Qi saying that I should marry her brother. However, Mai Qi only mentioned she had a big brother, she didn’t tell me his name so where did I hear the name, Qu Hao? Who had told that name to me? Since I couldn’t remember it, it probably wasn’t something important.

Mai Qi sighed, “Master Liu has found my Achilles Heel. Nanxing, I might have to sell you out because of this death threat.”

I smiled, “It’s alright. Friends like us are to be sold.”

Mai Qi nodded. “I’m relieved to hear that.” Gu Nian listened to our conversation with interest. Lu Yan had silently moved away from my side. I saw that Ye Qian was moving outside as well.

Su Qian who was far away nodded at me. Gu Nian turned to follow my gaze. He only saw Nanyang being escorted out by Li Tian and Tian Ting. I smiled brighter. Gu Nian was extremely confused.

Nanyang’s new gown was Chinese in design. It was tight-fitting which showed off her belly. She didn’t even mind. She had her hands on the back of her waist.

Mai Qi was shocked. She widened her eyes. “What is she thinking? Normally, people would be hiding their pregnancy during their weddings. But she’s acting like people don’t know she is pregnant!”

I noticed the shock on Gu Nian’s face but it soon disappeared.

I patted Mai Qi’s hand. “My naive child, how can you be so innocent? You’re not going to survive in Jiang Hu. But don’t worry, Sister Xing will protect you!”

Mai Qi rolled her eyes. “Stop talking nonsense. Why is she doing this?”

I smiled, “How would I know? But I do know that now everyone present will know that the new Mrs. Jing is pregnant. So what if Young Master Ning is only marrying her for her child? That is her pride. Nothing is more important than the first grand-grandson of the Jing Family. She’ll have a bright future because of her child. That is something that others can only be jealous of.”

Mai Qi added, “Furthermore, it doesn’t matter now if some other girls are flirtatious with Jing Ning. From now on, she’ll be the real Mrs. Jing, the other women will be mere mistresses!” I smiled and nodded.

Mai Qi gasped, “I thought the eldest Miss Nan was just an innocent white flower. I didn’t think she’d be capable of such scheming… This is brilliant!”

Mai Qi’s eyes wandered to find Ye Qian.

I chuckled, “She is an innocent, white flower? My dear princess, what gave you that impression?”

I worried about her IQ.

Gu Nian shook her head. “Women’s war is like a real battlefield.”

I shrugged. “We have to do these to survive. One careless move and you’d die.”

Gu Nian was intrigued. “I heard that she used to bully you. Do you hate her?”

I shrugged, “Well, not really.”

Gu Nian smiled at me. “Nanxing, you are so kind.”

I didn’t speak.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Kind??My kindness had been sucked dry by these heartless demons. I didn’t hate Nanyang because I could already see into her future. Karma would do my job for me so I only needed to wait and watch the show.
