Chapter 151: Make Him Fall in Disgrace

~4 min read 653 words

"Who gave you permission to come in?"

Fu Sijue was disturbed by the voice below, and stood on the stairs, watching from a distance the endlessly crying Yan Han.

Even from afar, Yun Ruojin could clearly feel his disdain.

He looked at them as if they were two clowns.

A sharp, burning pain flared on her face, and Yun Ruojin quickly grabbed Yan Han and ran out.

Yan Han, not understanding why, stared blankly at Yun Ruojin.

"Did I not act well enough?" Yan Han abruptly stopped crying and brushed the tears from her face.

Yun Ruojin snorted coldly through her nostrils, "I have no idea what Xi Wan actually did to A Jue, why he trusts her so much!"

Whenever she thought of it, Yun Ruojin felt a deep sense of helplessness.

No matter what she does, it seems she can't get Fu Sijue to give her another glance.

Yan Han saw through her little thoughts and quickly began to comfort her.

"President Fu doesn't like you right now, only because he hasn't realized how great you are yet."

"Take it slow; we have plenty of time."

"Eventually he'll notice your virtues."

Yan Han gently patted Yun Ruojin's shoulder, but Yun Ruojin impatiently brushed the hand away.

"It's all your fault for acting so fake; Xi Wan is now starting to suspect the two of us!"

Yan Han wore an innocent expression.

What does this have to do with her?

"I've been acting exactly as you said, don't worry; what we wanted wasn't for Xi Wan to believe, as long as Lord Luo believes it, that's enough."

"If the performance is poor, it's also something Yun Ruojin arranged herself!"

Yan Han's consolation finally lifted Yun Ruojin's mood considerably; she waved her hand, telling Yan Han to shut up.

"You go first; I'm about to meet someone. I'll contact you if I need anything."

Her tone, which was 'come when summoned, leave when waved away', irritated Yan Han a bit, but she kept silent, endured it, hailed a carriage and left.

Watching Yan Han leave, Yun Ruojin quickly made a call to arrange a meeting with the Gu Family couple outside.

When Gu Cheng entered the private room, his face lit up with surprise, "You've already gotten Lu Xiwán's hair so quickly?"

He had already concluded that Xi Wan is Lu Xiwán, so he changed his address early on.

Yun Ruojin sneered, "You think it's that easy to get?"

"After the commotion we caused at the café last time, A Jue now won't let me get close to Xi Wan."

Su Yan'ai heard that and looked disappointed, but quickly composed herself.

"We have plenty of time; we can wait!"

"At worst we can take revenge later; it's no big deal."

Yun Ruojin let out a cold snort, "A Jue is trusting her more and more now; don't forget the promise you made to me—A Jue must be with me!"

Her stubbornness was just like Gu Qingmeng's back then.

The Gu Family couple looked at her that way and shook their heads helplessly.

"You kid are just as stubborn; Fu Sijue won't accept you so easily."

Over the years, many have tried to insert people beside Fu Sijue, but none have succeeded.

Su Yan'ai had long seen through his unwillingness to accept anyone.

"So you're saying you don't want to help me?"

"Don't forget the agreement we made at the start; if you can't fulfill it…"

"Do you really think staying by Fu Sijue's side is a good thing?"

Gu Cheng looked displeased at the stubborn Yun Ruojin.

Good intentions are taken as donkey liver and lungs.

"Alright, the things we promised you are certainly doable; we each get what we need."

Su Yan'ai, being clever, stopped Gu Cheng with a glance and continued speaking to Yun Ruojin with a smiling face.

"If you didn't get the hair, why did you call us over?"
