The Heiress Acts Mischievously, But Her Family Can Read Her Mind novel Chapter 167

Chapter 167: Chapter 167 It’s nothing important, just stealing her fiancé

Jiang Leyi followed Chu Muxi’s gaze and soon saw two people walking in side by side.

Both were dressed entirely in designer brands, their eye-catching attire drawing attention as soon as they appeared at the school.

When Jiang Leyi saw Song Kexia, her expression turned somewhat ugly.

She really couldn’t bring herself to like her cousin, who held herself in such high regard and carried an especially proud demeanor.

Beside her, the short-haired, beautiful, and gentle girl was Yan Yidan, the prodigy who had been sent to the mountains to learn from childhood and possessed many rare skills. Now that she had turned twenty, the Yan Family had called her down from the mountain to engage in a marriage alliance with a wealthy family.

Worried that Jiang Leyi might not recognize her, Chu Muxi specially introduced her, "Lady Yan is very impressive—skilled in martial arts, medicine, music, chess, calligraphy, painting, and all six arts of poetry and books. She is an important cultivation target for the Yan Family and is also the daughter-in-law Mrs. Lu fancies. Your sister’s position might be in jeopardy."

The Lu Family was a prestigious clan in Beijing, noted not only for their vast industry but also their accumulated connections. Young Master Lu had been decisive and fierce, seizing the position of Family Head among his many brothers.

However, it traced back to him where ironically he had few male descendants, just one son and one grandson. Everyone coveted the Lu Family’s immense wealth, and the powerful families lining up to marry into Lu Qingyan’s family were eager for the marriage contract with the Jiang Family to fall through so they could take their place.

Jiang Leyi glared at her, the first time she had noticed Chu Muxi’s mockery almost spilling out of her eyes, quickly captured though it was fleeting.

"Even if Mrs. Lu favors her, as long as the betrothal hasn’t been called off, it can only be my sister," Jiang Leyi said indifferently.

Chu Muxi smiled gently, not picking up on her words but instead greeting Song Kexia and Yan Yidan as they approached, "Miss Song, Miss Yan, what a coincidence."

Song Kexia’s face, heavily made up, was full of arrogance as she sneered at Jiang Leyi, "Not a coincidence at all, coming across a fake. Had I known, I would have taken a detour."

Jiang Leyi, with a cold face, responded, "The feeling is mutual. Encountering you also feels inauspicious. Even if I’m a fake, I’m still better than someone unloved by their father and mother."

The Song Family was notorious for favoring sons over daughters. To them, girls were merely tools for marriage alliances; yet even so, their lives were enviably affluent.

That’s why, when she was younger, as the Jiang Family’s only and most favored daughter, she received deep resentment and jealousy from the sisters of the Song Family.

Jiang Leyi wasn’t fond of them either and couldn’t be bothered to deal with them.

Song Kexia, infuriated to the point her nose was askew, snapped, "I hope you can still be so tough when you’re kicked out of the Jiang Family!"

"Please, like you’ll be around to see that happen."

Seeing them argue, Chu Muxi timely played the mediator, "Alright, let’s not fight. Aren’t we all invited here to watch the performance?"

Such scenes had been frequent in the past, but back then, Jiang Leyi had been cautious because of the Song Family, her maternal family, and hadn’t talked back much. In the years they hadn’t seen each other, Jiang Leyi had changed a lot.

At Muxi’s words, Song Kexia’s corners of her mouth twisted into a mocking smile, "Indeed, Yidan was invited here by Mrs. Lu."

The aforementioned Yan Yidan, with a gentle demeanor, smiled softly, "Hello everyone, I’m new to Beijing and hope for your guidance."

Her bangs reached her eyebrows, and her short hair was tucked behind her ears. She was dressed in a light blue iris-patterned Chinese-style cheongsam, prim and proper like a lady from the Republic era.

Her gaze curiously surveyed the surroundings.

Jiang Leyi was somewhat wary of her, only because...

It was said that her Combat Power was off the charts.

This didn’t match her sweet appearance at all.

Of course, this was just a rumor; the actual fact was unknown to anyone.

"Hey! Mr. Fang, what are you doing at Jing University! You dare to come without my permission!"

Jiang Yisen’s voice sounded abruptly.

Song Kexia turned her head; although she didn’t like Jiang Leyi, she was still eager to ingratiate herself with her wealthy cousin Jiang Yisen, especially upon seeing the cold Fang Minghe in his suit in front of him, momentarily blushing.
