Chapter 1053: Going For The Kill (2)
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
At the time, Ye Yihong was having a tough time in the capital. In fact, she could be considered to be down and out. She hated her current existence.
Once Bai Youran fell from grace, she had to find a new patron. But Bai Youran had made too many enemies, and she did not get along well with anyone else. Now those people were all too eager to mock her. They would never protect her.
This infuriated Ye Yihong.
Gu Qingyao’s position was too stable, and she had always kept a low profile in the capital. She had no way of getting at her. But now, Ji Mingyue was going to marry Gu Jinhang.
Gu Jinhang!
The successor of the Gu family with a bright future!
And he was so handsome. For many young girls in the capital, he was the man of their dreams!
It was all right if it was any other rich young girl. If a rich, young lady from a good family married Gu Jinhang, Ye Yihong would, at most, envy her. But she would not dare to do anything.
But it was Ji Mingyue.
When Bai Chi was trying to force Ji Mingyue to marry him, Bai Youran had often put Ji Mingyue down. As Bai Youran’s lackey, Ye Yihong had said even nastier things about Ji Mingyue than Bai Youran herself.
Now in a reversal of fortunes, a person like Ji Mingyue was actually going to marry Gu Jinhang. Ye Yihong was so jealous she could hardly stand it.
She suddenly recalled that Ji Mingyue had fancied Mo Beihan. Mo Beihan was now Gu Jinhang’s brother-in-law. This would be fun.
So Ye Yihong embellished the incident and spread it around, saying how shameless Ji Mingyue had been in the past, continually harassing Mo Beihan and insisting on marrying him!
Ji Mingyue was stunned for a few seconds when she heard the news.
“Ye Yihong?”
Of course Ji Mingyue remembered Ye Yihong!
That woman had continually mocked and belittled her. Her memories of her were still fresh!
When Bai Youran lost her status, she had been busy dating Gu Jinhang. She was immersed in her beautiful romance, so this person had not come to her attention for a long time.
Ye Yihong’s family background was not very good, and her family did not favor her. In the past, her position in the capital had been due entirely to Bai Youran’s favor. Now she was nothing.
“So it’s that girl who is trying to set me up. I was young and ignorant, but she makes it sound so ugly. She clearly has something against me and wants to prevent me from marrying Jinhang.”
Ji Mingzhe crossed his legs and read the papers. “That’s right. So you still have a brain left. I thought you’ve been so bewitched by that fox, Gu Jinhang, that your brain has turned to mush and you don’t know anything besides romance!”
Ji Mingyue protested. “Am I your younger sister or not? Why would you speak against your younger sister like that?”
Ji Mingzhe pursed his lips and kept quiet.
Ji Mingyue grunted coldly. “Let me tell you! Jinhang is very good to me, but Oldest Brother, I am your own sister! In the past, those families all looked down on me. If they even glanced my way, it was as if they were doing me a favor and I should be grateful to them. Look at how much better Jinhang treats me!
“He’s so handsome, so rich, and most importantly, so capable. His family background is excellent too. As the brother-in-law of a fine man like that, you should… be nicer to him because he is so good to your younger sister!”
“Pffft…” Ji Mingzhe spat out his tea. He could scarcely believe his ears.
“Be… be nicer?”
