Chapter 443: Jealousy Devours the Heart
Chapter 443: Jealousy Consumes the Heart
At the next moment, Xie Hongjun erupted with even more intense feelings of envy: Why should Gu Dongxing be able to win over the Nan Family?
You see, to become in-laws with the Nan Family is to reap tremendous benefits. It is said that the Cheng Family obtained a Cultivation Method only by marrying Lady Nan.
However, with the advent of the great political campaign, the Nan Family suffered heavy suppression, allegedly because someone coveted the Nan Family’s Cultivation Method, which led to their persecution. The eldest son of the Nan Family even died because of this.
But after the reform and opening up, the Nan Family started to rise again.
Who wouldn’t want to win over Lady Nan? Putting everything else aside, just obtaining the Cultivation Method would entice anyone.
If Jiang Mengyu had a Jade Pendant engraved with the character ’Nan,’ unique to the Nan Family, it would mean that she was one of the Nan Family!
Suddenly, Xie Hongjun had a thought—he must pursue Jiang Mengyu and win her over.
Not just to vindictively win her over and then cruelly ditch her as his mother had suggested, but to truly pursue her with sincerity, and if successful, to marry her for real!
But how to pursue Jiang Mengyu?
Xie Hongjun frowned: Based on Jiang Mengyu’s usual habits, it was nearly impossible for him to find an opportunity to strike up a conversation with her.
Unless, on Sundays when Gu Dongxing didn’t come to pick her up and she went out alone, he could intercept her!
Or, should he head straight to Shen Qi’s courtyard?
But according to Jiang Huaiyu, both Shen Qi and Wu Jiangsheng were Jiang Mengyu’s "Guardian Knights." It would be difficult for him to approach Jiang Mengyu in Shen Qi’s courtyard.
However, he quickly devised a "wife-chasing plan" and began to put it into action.
Jiang Mengyu had no idea that Xie Hongjun, Jiang Huaiyu’s lover from her past life, was making plans to pursue her. She was in her study group, highlighting key points for Shen Qi, Wu Jiangsheng, Zhang Shuiyu, and Xiao Hua.
"As long as you review these key points well, not to mention getting into a prestigious university, getting into an ordinary one should definitely be possible."
Because she had not achieved her dream of attending the university she yearned for, she was obsessed with the idea of college entrance. When she was Ah Piao, Jiang Huaiyu had purchased past college entrance examination papers for her daughter, all of which she had reviewed.
Therefore, she was very familiar with the content of the 1981 college entrance examination. If they couldn’t get in by reviewing the key points she outlined, then there was no point in studying at all.
Given the focused review schedule, Mengyu didn’t let their five-person study group just read books all the time.
They had to do moving exercises in the morning and static cultivation at night, with only the daytime to review.
Additionally, on Sundays, they invariably engaged in outdoor activities, under the pretense of balancing work and leisure.
Privately, Zhang Shuiyu, Shen Qi, and Wu Jiangsheng all referred to Mengyu as Master, but after hearing Xiao Hua call her "big sister," they felt it was inappropriate to have different titles in public and private. They decided to also call Mengyu "big sister."
Thus, when the five of them went out, those who saw them would surely find it amusing that the youngest-looking one was being called "big sister" by the other four, who were older.
This Sunday, as they were getting ready to go out, Ah Xin sought out Mengyu: "Master, someone wants to sell a batch of antiques and is asking for you to appraise them."
Mengyu’s eyes lit up: "A batch?"
Ah Xin nodded: "Yes, a batch."
Lately, Ah Xin had been making some money by collecting scrap with two teenagers, but they had not come across any real antiques yet.
Yesterday, while he was collecting scrap, he saw a middle-aged man trying to sell a broken pot. Ah Xin had recently studied up on antiques, and he had a feeling that the pot might be valuable.
