Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Guilin was located in the hinterland of the Southwest of China. It was connected to the five provinces and was the entire transportation hub of the Southwest. From Huzhou to Guilin, it was equivalent to crossing more than half of the country, from the North to the Southwest.

The small town that Ye Jian will live in was located at a remote location in Guilin Province. It was surrounded by mountains and had beautiful scenery.

At night, the entire town was pitch-black. There were no street lamps.

Sitting in a room filled with all kinds of food smells, Ye Jian lowered her head and sipped the hot water that she had just poured out of a hot water bottle. A woman in her thirties with slightly dark skin was talking non-stop.

Li E introduced this person to her as her sister-in-law. Her name was Wang Gui.

Her name was correct, but her identity was different.

Wang Gui was one of the mistresses of the commissioner. She was in charge of contacting the small county city and the village. She immediately reported what Li E heard from the city to the commissioner.

She had two thin and willowy eyebrows. When she spoke, her gaze would flicker from time to time. One look and you could tell that she was an uneasy lady.

She was as enthusiastic as Li E. The moment she saw Ye Jian, she was stunned for a moment. Then, she welcomed her as if she was an honored guest. After a while, she complimented Ye Jian as a goddess. Anyone who heard that would feel elated.

Ever since she entered the room, Ye Jian had been drinking cups of water without stopping.

Ye Jian was calm. No matter how much they complimented her, she didn’t feel anything. However, she pretended to be shy. She held her breath and made her face look a little red.

The more she acted like this, the lower Li E’s vigilance became. She secretly gave Wang Gui a provocative look and a smug smile appeared on her face.

Wang Gui relied on herself to follow the Grand Commissioner for a year. Every day, she tried her best to take over Yu Yang’s shop. If she succeeded, she would be able to bully Li E.

Pfft! Wang Gui, you’re still too young to fight with me!

Wang Gui, who was angered by Li E’s gaze, felt a prick in her heart. She felt a dull pain in her chest. Unknowingly, the smile on her face froze.

The powder on her face was a little thick. Under the faint yellow light, one could see the wrinkles on her eyes and lips.

She pursed her lips and slapped her forehead exaggeratedly. “Oh my, look at my memory. I haven’t forgotten to ask if you have dinner after chatting for so long. You must have not eaten. It will take five to six hours to reach our county from the city.”

Wang Gui was smart. She didn’t vent her anger immediately and changed the topic.

Didn’t Li E say that she wanted to bring the ‘goods’?

She couldn’t go head to head with her. She had no choice. Li E was the woman the Grand Commissioner trusted the most. She needed to rely on her to earn money. Even if she had an unclear relationship with the Grand Commissioner, she didn’t dare to be presumptuous in front of Li E.

Ye Jian, who was drinking the water, glanced at the two of them secretly. As her gaze moved, a hint of understanding flashed past her eyes… Wang Gui and Li E were not on good terms.

“I’m not hungry. Girl, are you hungry?” Li E gritted her teeth secretly and turned her head. She smiled and said to Ye Jian, “I don’t have much appetite after sitting in the car for a few hours. I didn’t even care if you were hungry.”

Wang Gui knew how to be a good person? Pfft, what is she!

Ye Jian didn’t need to say anything when she was drinking water. She just needed a smile. She was able to provoke the two of them easily.
