Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
“If I want him to die, he has to die!” Jian Xing’er revealed a look of hatred, but this time, she would probably have to make use of the Hou family. Back then, the Hou family had lucked her out, so it was time for them to repay what they owed her. Jian Xing’er said to Shangguan Ding before returning to her bedroom, “I’m going to bed now!” Jian Xing’er had just laid on the bed when she received a call from Mr. Hou. Mr. Hou asked in a gentle tone, “Xing’er, are you free to come to our house tomorrow?” Jian Xing’er asked, “What’s wrong?” Mr. Hou replied, “It’s my birthday tomorrow, so I plan to invite everyone in the family over for a meal.” Mr. Hou paused before continuing, “Although you and Junlai have divorced now, I’ve always treated you as my daughter, so 1 hope you can come.”
“Alright, Uncle, I’ll go over tomorrow!” Jian Xing’er agreed. Mr. Hou, who was on the other end of the phone, was stunned when he heard her answer, since he didn’t expect Jian Xing’er to agree so readily. After Jian Xing’er hung up, the corners of Jian Xing’er’s mouth curled up into a smirk. She was worried that she wouldn’t be able to find an excuse to approach Hou Cheng, but she didn’t expect this opportunity to come so easily. The news of Hou Junlai’s company working with the Tianmei Corporation had already spread throughout the streets and alleys of Sea City. With the Hou family’s way of doing things, once she arrived, they would definitely try to curry favor with her. Of course, Hou Cheng wouldn’t let go of this opportunity either.
In the Hou family’s villa, Mrs. Hou and Hou Xiaoyu stared at Mr. Hou’s phone. “How is it? Did she agree to come?” Hou Junlai was secretly looking forward to it. He felt that his father’s birthday was a good opportunity and excuse. If Jian Xing’er agreed to come to the birthday party, it meant that she didn’t completely hate him, so he still had a chance to win her back. “Jian Xing’er said that she would come!” Mr. Hou was also very happy. When Mrs. Hou and Hou Xiaoyu heard that Jian Xing’er had agreed to come, they were overjoyed. Even Junlai smiled. In the past, he didn’t know how to cherish Jian Xing’er when she was by his side. Now, he had to rack his brains to find a suitable excuse just to see her. Junlai felt that he deserved it.
Hou Xiaoyu raised her eyebrows and teased, “Brother, 1 haven’t seen you smile in a long time!” Mrs. Hou went forward and patted Junlai’s shoulder as she said, “Your brother was worried about Jian Xing’er. It wasn’t easy for her to agree to come to our house, so of course he’s happy! Junlai, when Jian Xing’er comes tomorrow, you have to seize this opportunity. Take care of her during this period and let her know that you’re the person who loves her the most. Don’t let Shangguan Ding take advantage of the situation again!” Hou Junlai pretended to be indifferent and said, “What’s there to do?” With that, Hou Junlai went upstairs. Mrs. Hou frowned at his back and said, “Why is this child still so willful?!” Then, Mrs. Hou complained, “Jian Xing’er has control over Tianmei Corporation now, so those who are on good terms with her are all upper-class elites. Hou Junlai should work harder to win her back, or else he’ll regret it in the future!”
Hou Xiaoyu said softly, “Mr brother is just pretending to be aloof. If it were me, I would have followed Jian Xing’er around every day and taken care of her. After all, they used to have a deep relationship, so there’s no way Jian Xing’er will ignore him. Mr. Hou said, “Save yourselves the trouble. You guys were the ones who said that Jian Xing’er was a burden to Junlai, but now, you’re trying your best to please her. Aren’t you slapping yourself in the face?” Mrs. Hou didn’t care about other people’s opinions at all. Instead, she said, “So what if we re slapping ourselves in the face? Who would dare to look down on us?” Hou Xiaoyu added, “That’s right. Now that my brother’s company has Tianmei Corporation’s backing, who would dare to look down on our family? Besides, compared with a lifetime of glory and wealth, pride is the most worthless thing. If my sister-in-law can remarry my brother, our family will become even wealthier and more powerful. Other people will envy us.. How can they dare to look down on us?!”
