Chapter 349 - 122 Without ruthlessness in women, their status is unstable.
But when you think about Kang Jinxian’s sister, she’s the most famous and brazen mistress in Country Hua. Next to Yun Shen, Bai Ran just seems like an amateur.
However, He An was a man and, from Yun Shen’s perspective, naturally couldn’t stand Bai Ran. This woman was truly shameless to the extreme.
Kang Jinxian didn’t yet know that Bai Ran had divorced Yun Shen, so when she saw her clinging to a man in public, she couldn’t help feeling indignant on behalf of Yun Shen.
The man was handsome, and he had a good aura about him. What level of blindness did he have to take a liking to Bai Ran, a woman known for her promiscuity? Or was it that he was a kept man by Bai Ran?
"Sister-in-law, who is this?" Kang Jinxian’s gaze shifted to the man standing beside Bai Ran, tall and with a clean-cut face, every move he made was infused with a scholarly and gentle charm—not at all like a man who sold his looks.
Bai Ran smiled and turned to glance at Ning Qinglin, the fondness in her eyes entirely unhidden: "Who he is, you’ll find out soon enough."
As she finished her words, she raised an eyebrow at He An, "Young Master He, you must have received your invitation already? I await your presence at the Bai Family home tonight, and I hope Miss Kang will also grace us with her attendance."
What invitation? Kang Jinxian looked confused.
At that moment, the man who had been silent all the while turned and gave Bai Ran a tender smile. His eyes were gentle and indulgent, and he entwined his fingers tightly with hers, softly saying, "Ranran, let’s go."
Bai Ran nodded, not giving the pair another glance, and left with the man.
Kang Jinxian thought to herself that this man must really be blind, or he was only attracted to Bai Ran’s appearance and wealth—a complete waste of his handsome face.
On the way back, He An glanced at Kang Jinxian: "Be my date for tonight’s banquet at the Bai Family home."
Kang Jinxian hesitated for a moment before smiling softly, "Let me ask my mother’s opinion first, and if she agrees, I’ll go with you."
He An knew Kang Jinxian’s situation at the Yun Family, so he didn’t say more, "Alright, give me a call later, and I’ll prepare a dress for you."
Kang Jinxian invited He An to have a cup of tea at her home before leaving, and he readily agreed.
Yun Shu saw Kang Jinxian return with He An, and noticing that He An seemed quite decent towards Kang Jinxian, couldn’t help but invite He An to sit, her attitude much warmer than before.
But He An didn’t have much of a liking for this woman. After all, Ah Xian was her foster daughter, and now that she had her own granddaughter back, she had disregarded Ah Xian completely, showing extreme favoritism.
Then a gentle and beautiful voice floated in from the entrance, "Aunt Ah Xian, have you brought back my future uncle?"
He An felt the voice was wonderfully melodious, and looking in its direction, he saw a delicate figure slowly approaching.
The girl was wearing a pale pink chiffon blouse with long sleeves that accentuated her slender, fair neck, and below was a white high-waisted A-line skirt. Her legs were long and straight, and as she approached, a gentle sway of her skirt revealed her poised and breathtaking beauty.
With such a figure... He An, a connoisseur of women, couldn’t help but swallow hard.
Then he saw her face, her hair pulled up into a bun, revealing an unblemished and stunning countenance. A pointed oval face, skin fair and smooth, eyes dark as dots of paint, lips red as cinnabar, every smile and every glance full of warmth and allure—it was as if a person had stepped out of a painting.
A hint of amazement flashed in He An’s eyes as he gazed at the newcomer, almost mesmerized.
Kang Jinxian, seeing He An’s lustful gaze, was so angry she almost fell backward. He had just been flirting with her, and now, seeing a beautiful girl, he had reverted to his true colors, infuriating her.
"Yun Ya, you’re back." Kang Jinxian blocked He An’s view; her action snapped He An out of his daydream.
Yun Ya greeted He An with a smile, "Future uncle, we meet again."
He An thought Miss Yun was the most beautiful woman he had ever seen, but remembering Kang Jinxian’s words, his interest waned considerably.
Beautiful, yes, but she was a femme fatale, the type of woman he couldn’t afford to become entangled with.
The more gently Yun Ya smiled, the more he felt repulsed, always on edge as if the girl before him could turn into a venomous snake at any moment.
Yun Ya could tell what he was thinking just by looking at him, it seemed Kang Jinxian had fully captured the heart of this playboy and must have spoken ill of her in front of him.
She didn’t mind and took a seat opposite them, every gesture exuding an indescribable elegance and nobility that highlighted the difference between her and Kang Jinxian.
Kang Jinxian clenched her fist tightly, mentally cursing Ji Yunya, yet her face maintained a gentle smile.
