Chapter 327: Chapter 327 - Words Could Kill

Auntie Lan said seriously, “Why shouldn’t we take it seriously? They are your grandson and granddaughter. If I don’t believe them, who should I believe? But that doesn’t mean they should lie to me. How could they slander Nanxing’s name like that? Even though I haven’t known Nanxing for long, I am sure she is a good kid. I am not that senile! Or do you not believe me anymore?”

Old Master Jing quickly said, “Of course, I believe you! How could I not? You are able to discern what is true and what is false easily. It’s because you want to believe them that you fell for their tricks!”

Old Master Jing judged Jing Ning and Jing Yan. Their faces turned green. Auntie Lan was very satisfied with Old Master Jing’s defection and gave him a smile full of love.

Old Master Jing’s expression visibly relaxed, and he was in an extremely happy mood.

Then Auntie Lan turned to Jing Ning and Jing Yan. “In the future, don’t make rash comments about others. If you’re jealous of others, then you should work hard to surpass them. Don’t resort to petty tricks. That is only for cowards.” Auntie Lan looked at Old Master Jing again. “Did I not teach Jing Tian the same thing when he was young?

Old Master Jing nodded hurriedly. “That’s right. It is why Jing Tian is such a brilliant and upstanding person.”

Aunt Lan was very satisfied.

Gu Yan pulled Ye Qian over to greet Auntie Lan.

Aunt Lan took a step back to look at Gu Yan seriously. “I remember this girl.”

Gu Yan was quite happy.

Auntie Lan said after some thoughts. “You’re the daughter of the rich family in the capital, right? Jing Ning and Jing Yan have mentioned you to me before. You’re the one who joined them to slander Nanxing.”

Gu Yan’s smile froze. She didn’t know what to do.

Auntie Lan turned to smile at Ye Qian. “I like this girl. She’s well-educated and courteous.” Auntie Lan turned to the three of us and said, “Girls, let me tell you, you have to be very careful when you make friends. Normally, a girl’s bad influence isn’t her boyfriends but the girlfriends she surrounds herself with. Therefore, you should spend more time with people like Miss Ye. She’ll teach you how to get along with others. She doesn’t have the arrogance and air of a rich second generation. That is very rare.”

The three of us nodded obediently. Jing Ni and Mai Qi squeezed my hands at the same time. Everyone knew what she meant.

I felt like if there was someone who we should learn from in this room, it was Auntie Lan, the woman who was ‘ignorant about the ways of the world’ according to Old Master Jing.

Auntie Lan had shown us a master’s lesson in how to use words to kill.

Jing Ni’s words had raised Old Master Jing’s suspicions about Jing Ning and Jing Yan. Auntie Lan came to nail them to their coffins. She provided the seeds of doubt with plenty of space to grow.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

In just a few words, Auntie Lan broke up the relationship between Gu Yan and Ye Qian.

In the Gu Family, Gu Yan’s birth status was undoubtedly much higher than Ye Qian’s, even though Ye Qian was much more outstanding than Gu Yan. Therefore, everyone knew who was really favored by the Gu Family.

Auntie Lan pointed out the fact no one else dared to say. Her one sentence had made a swift judgment.

In public’s eyes, Gu Yan was the real daughter of the Gu Family, respected and cherished; while Ye Qian was just the adopted daughter, tolerated and accepted.

However, the truth was the opposite. But no one dared to point that out… other than Auntie Lan.

Gu Yan’s face shifted, but she had to hold in her temper. She didn’t dare to get angry at Auntie Lan. She could only glare at Ye Qian.

The smile on Ye Qian’s face froze. She could not even speak properly. “Ma-madam, you flatter me.”

Auntie Lan smiled. “No, I’ve always been an accurate judge of character. Am I right, Jing De?”
