I Ran Away After Transmigrating as a Wealthy Daughter-in-Law - Chapter 15
On the way, Li Qi suddenly scanned Jiang Pan from head to toe and chuckled. “It’s so strange. The moment you and Jian Yue divorced, I started to like you.” She then huffed, “I always said Jian Yue and I were destined to be enemies!”
Jiang Pan frowned. “Our relationship is getting better. Don’t drag her into this.”
“Oh, are you feeling bad for her?” Li Qi’s tone was sarcastic. “You did so many things to her before. What are you trying to be, a good person?” She then laughed. “Do you know what she calls you now? ‘That bitch,’ haha.”
Jiang Pan’s expression didn’t change. “Dogs are so cute. She’s not worthy.”
“?” Li Qi blinked in confusion. “You mean you’re not worthy, right?”
“The old Jiang Pan wasn’t worthy, but the current Jiang Pan,” Jiang Pan said seriously, “is different from the old Jiang Pan.”
Li Qi’s logic was surprisingly clear. “I do think you’re different from before. I can’t quite put my finger on it, but at least, your presence isn’t as annoying now.”
Jiang Pan smiled slightly. “I’m not the same Jiang Pan you knew before.”
Li Qi looked at her. “…Oh. Then why didn’t you change sooner? Maybe Jian Yue wouldn’t have divorced you.”
Jiang Pan felt that Li Qi, who was supposed to be an unlikable character, lacked basic character morals. She clearly hated Jian Yue, yet every three sentences she said were about Jian Yue.
Jian Yue and Li Qi grew up together. They were very close from kindergarten to elementary school, but they became enemies in middle school.
The author never wrote the reason, so Jiang Pan, as a reader, didn’t know. But she wasn’t very interested in guessing, anyway.
The car entered a villa complex and quickly stopped. Jiang Pan looked out the window.
“Get out of the car. It’s Tuesday today, and my brother works from home.” Li Qi opened the car door but didn’t forget to remind her, “I’m only responsible for bringing you here. The rest is up to you.”
Jian Yue asked her driver to buy a few cups of bubble tea.
Li Ji had a weakness for bubble tea, but most of the time he had to hide it. However, on Tuesdays when he worked from home, he would have someone buy him some.
Li Ji treated Jian Yue like his own sister, and Jian Yue treated Li Ji like her own brother. For his little quirk, she would always buy him a cup of bubble tea whenever she went to see him.
Upon arriving at the Li family villa and getting out of the car, Jian Yue saw Li Qi’s car parked in the courtyard. She frowned slightly. As long as Li Qi was there, a fight was inevitable.
She walked into the living room with the bubble tea. He Jie, the housekeeper, came over and took the drinks, kindly reminding her, “Miss Jian, Miss Li brought someone with her. It’s…”
As she was speaking, Jiang Pan appeared in Jian Yue’s line of sight.
At the same time, Jiang Pan also saw Jian Yue.
Jian Yue: “…?”
Jiang Pan: “…!”
How could she describe this sudden “reunion” scene?
— A person who looks exactly like you killed the protagonist’s entire family. One day, you’re eating spicy hot pot at a noodle shop downstairs, and the protagonist, who is sitting across from you, casually looks up and sees you…
Jiang Pan thought that if she were the protagonist, the spicy hot pot would probably be thrown on the other person’s head, and then she would hit them with a brick.
As for why she’s eating spicy hot pot at a noodle shop, that’s not the point.
The point was, noticing the change in Jian Yue’s expression and eyes, Jiang Pan regretted not checking her horoscope before leaving the house today.
Is Jian Yue really going to pounce on her and kill her?
No, that’s impossible. Jiang Pan comforted herself. Murder is illegal. As the protagonist, she can’t do anything against the law.
When Li Qi saw this scene, she immediately went into spectator mode and couldn’t help but say, “Jian Yue, you two are divorced, but you still have such great chemistry. Is it a coincidence that you both came to my house today?”
Li Ji hated his sister’s love for drama the most. He frowned. “You, shut up.”
Li Qi obediently shut up, but she was secretly thrilled. Start fighting! Now!
Li Ji explained, “Yueyue, don’t misunderstand. Ms. Jiang is my sister’s guest.”
Li Qi emphasized, “But just like Jian Yue, she came to see you, brother.” She then asked with a smirk, “Jian Yue, did you know Jiang Pan was coming, so you came too?”
Jian Yue: “…”
Jiang Pan: “…Cough.”
Li Ji frowned even more. “No one will think you’re a mute if you don’t say anything.”
Jiang Pan agreed without thinking. “Exactly. If you’re not tired, your mouth should be.”
Li Qi: “…”
Jian Yue’s eyes quickly scanned Jiang Pan. This person used to act like a eunuch in front of the emperor when she saw Li Qi, but now she’s actually talking back to her.
Jian Yue snorted inwardly. On the surface, she gave a small smile. “Brother Li Ji, I came here specifically to bring you bubble tea. I didn’t expect Li Qi to bring this thing here. How unlucky.”
Jiang Pan couldn’t help but feel wronged.
She glanced at Jian Yue, wanting to say something, but decided against it. She continued to comfort herself. She’s talking about the original owner. She’s not talking about me.
Li Ji smiled awkwardly. “Oh, Li Qi… ” He then glared at Li Qi. “You’re not needed here. Go do what you’re supposed to be doing.” He then looked at the bubble tea and changed the subject. “You bought so many.”
Li Qi not only didn’t leave, but she also walked over and continued to be annoying. “I bet Yueyue knew I was bringing a guest, so she bought these for us.” She unceremoniously took two cups of bubble tea and handed one to Jiang Pan.
Jiang Pan: “?”
Jeez, Li Qi!
Jiang Pan’s eyes twitched. Should she take the bubble tea or not?
If she took it, Jian Yue would probably slap her.
If she didn’t, it seemed like there was nothing wrong with that.
“I don’t drink bubble tea.” Jiang Pan felt she was very smart, having avoided a life-threatening conflict.
As soon as she finished speaking, she heard Jian Yue say calmly, “Go ahead. See what it tastes like.”
Jiang Pan: “?”
That sounded a lot like, “Go ahead. See what it’s like before you die.”
Jiang Pan forced herself to stay calm, took the bubble tea, and said, “Thank you. I’ll drink it later.”
Jian Yue’s mind was just “haha, disgusting trash.” She gritted her teeth, but she knew that in this situation, she had to maintain the most elegant composure and nonchalant attitude.
She couldn’t let herself look like a shrew just because of her anger towards this piece of trash, Jiang Pan.
Otherwise, Li Qi would spread the word so much that even the mosquitoes on the street would know. Most importantly, it would affect the reputation of the Jian family.
Li Ji had a feeling that the atmosphere was like a ticking time bomb that could explode at any moment. He didn’t want to watch two women fight. No, it could be three, since his stupid sister was always a bit of a troublemaker when she was with Jian Yue.
He deliberately cleared his throat to break the silence and suggested, “Come on, stop standing around. Go sit on the sofa. Those who need to talk business, talk business. Those who need to drink bubble tea, drink bubble tea.”
“Brother, can they really be calm…”
“Shut up, or I’ll throw you out!” Li Ji cut Li Qi off before she could finish.
Jian Yue pretended to be indifferent and gave a small smile. “I don’t care. After all, if you get bitten by a dog, you can’t bite it back, can you?”
Jiang Pan was no longer feeling wronged; she was now in a state of approval, praise, and admiration.
That’s how you have to deal with trash.
Well said! She’s the protagonist for a reason.
However, dogs are so cute and loyal. The original owner truly didn’t deserve to be compared to one.
Jian Yue gave Jiang Pan a disgusted look. Suddenly, confusion and bewilderment flooded her mind.
Based on her understanding of Jiang Pan, hearing those words should have hurt her pride and made her face turn pale with anger.
But why was the Jiang Pan in front of her giving her a look of approval and praise?
With this question in her mind, she sat down on the living room sofa.
Li Ji spoke again and suggested, “I like my bubble tea warm. It’s getting a little cold. Let’s drink our bubble tea.”
Jiang Pan now had a new perspective on Li Ji. This business genius was also a master mediator.
He was much better than Li Qi, who just wanted to watch a show.
Jian Yue suddenly regretted not putting something in the bubble tea.
If she had known Jiang Pan was going to be here, she would have put some poison in it.
A moment later, watching Jiang Pan drink the bubble tea, Jian Yue had an idea.
Then, her soft voice sounded. “By the way, I put some pesticide in the bubble tea for flavor.”
Jiang Pan: “…Pfft!”
Li Qi: “…Pfft!”
Li Ji: “…Pfft!”
Author’s Note:
All three people drinking bubble tea spit it out. They were so shocked that they just spat.
Sweet talk first, then the attack.
Right now, you, the readers, are all Li Qi.
My dear readers: Why didn’t they fight? At least a slap?
Jiang Pan: “…”
