Chapter 390 - 127 Taste Test_6
"Her mother, is she Ji Lanyi?"
"How does the lady know?"
"Heh...," her tone brimming with mockery, "No wonder she’s her daughter...."
Could it be that the lady and Ji Lanyi knew each other from the past?
"I’m going to see an old friend. Call me when she wakes up." After arranging everything, the woman left in her high heels.
Li Nan wiped the cold sweat from her forehead and collapsed onto the sofa.
She found the lady somewhat strange. She had been serving the young miss for many years, and the young miss’s arrogant and domineering nature was actually cultivated by the lady. The lady was almost always accommodating to the young miss’s requests. When the young miss fell for Yan Song and insisted on going to Jiangzhou for her studies, it was the first time the lady firmly refused her request. The young miss staged a hunger strike for three days in protest, but in the end, the lady still could not withstand her daughter’s will and agreed to let her go to Jiangzhou, and even while far away in the Capital City, arranged every detail of the young miss’s life meticulously.
And now, with the young miss having suffered such an insult, the lady was not seeking revenge immediately but instead said the young miss deserved it. She really couldn’t understand.
It wasn’t long before Ye Xiaoxiao slowly opened her eyes.
She instinctively reached to touch her face and suddenly screamed, "My face...."
Li Nan hurried over, "Miss, you’re awake."
Ye Xiaoxiao grabbed her hand, but her own hand was also wrapped in bandages and couldn’t grasp firmly, "Am I... am I disfigured?" she asked shrilly.
Li Nan pursed her lips, "Miss, you won’t be disfigured."
"How could I not be?" She had tested the poison on so many people before, how could she not be aware of its toxicity? The thought of her body, all her skin turning purple and pus-filled, made her want to murder.
"Ji Yunya—" she spat the name through clenched teeth.
"I’m definitely going to kill you."
"Miss, don’t get excited. You won’t have any problems. Medicine is so advanced now, they’ll definitely cure you. Moreover, the lady hired the best doctor for you. You definitely won’t have any problems," Li Nan reassured her.
"Did my mom come? Where is she? I want to see her."
"The lady... the lady left after sitting for a while. She said she was going to see an old friend. Oh, right, before she left, she told me to call her when you woke up. Wait, miss, I’ll call the lady," she said, taking her phone to the window.
"The lady said she will be here soon."
Thinking of something, Ye Xiaoxiao coldly said, "Call Zhao Qianqian for me."
Li Nan hesitated but turned to make the call.
Lady Ye arrived in the evening, and as soon as she stepped in, Ye Xiaoxiao wept and threw herself at her, "Mom... Mom, you must take revenge for me. Look what others have done to me, sob... you must take revenge for me." The usually fierce and domineering Miss Ye turned into a crybaby as soon as she saw Lady Ye, completely losing her usual imposing manner in front of others.
Lady Ye gently patted her back, "Alright, stop crying. I already know what happened. Isn’t this a result of your own doings?"
"How could it possibly be my fault? It’s clearly that bitch...."
"Xiaoxiao, you still haven’t realized your mistake. I’m so disappointed in you," Lady Ye said with disappointment.
Ye Xiaoxiao’s heart tightened, "Mom..., I’m not wrong." She stubbornly argued.
"Your mistake is being too stupid. From the beginning, they were aware of your intentions, and thus they turned your plans against you, leading you into a trap of their own making. Shouldn’t you pay for your own foolishness?" Lady Ye’s voice was gentle, yet inexplicably mixed with a hint of harshness.
Ye Xiaoxiao hung her head low, "I was wrong."
Lady Ye smiled and stroked her head, "If you know you’re wrong, then change. You’re still my good daughter. You’re actually very brilliant. It’s just that you’re too impetuous and can’t calm down. If you were just a little more careful, you wouldn’t have fallen into someone else’s trap so easily."
"Come back with me to the Capital City tonight."
Ye Xiaoxiao stepped back suddenly, "No, I’m not going back."
Lady Ye sighed, "Xiaoxiao, don’t be foolish. Do you think this will win you Master Yan’s heart? Impossible. If you really want to be with him, listen to your mother and come back to the Capital City with me. No matter who he likes, in the end, the woman he marries will certainly be someone of equal social standing, and behind you stands the entire Ye Family. That is your biggest advantage. Why compete with other women for his attention? You’ve already won by doing nothing at all."
Ye Xiaoxiao was taken aback, "Mom, are you serious?"
