Chapter 302: Chapter 302: How Did You End Up Together With Her?_1
 

Just as she finished dressing, Aunt Li stood up and came towards her.

She thought Aunt Li had noticed her attempt to escape earlier.

“Miss Jian, let’s go home. I’m not feeling well, I don’t want to continue watching.” Aunt Li told her with an unwell expression.

For an elder like her to watch a horror film was truly torturous. If she returned to it again, she was sure to be tormented by heart disease.

A pang of guilt twisted in Jian Yufei’s heart.

Since her escape plan had failed, there was no need for her to go on watching.

“Alright, let’s go home.” She rose to her feet and left the viewing hall with Aunt Li.

She wondered whether Yan Yue and Ruan Tianling had already come to watch the movie.

Upon reaching the ticket lobby, Jian Yufei spotted them still lingering around.

She tugged at Aunt Li’s sleeve to discreetly exchange glances.

Aunt Li exchanged a glance, then laughed knowingly, “Miss Jian, you’re so kind to accompany me shopping, and even invite me to a movie. It troubles me. Let me treat you to a meal, do not refuse this.”

Jian Yufei broke into a smile. Just as she was about to speak, she ‘suddenly’ saw that Ruan Tianling and Yan Yue were also there.

Yan Yue had heard Aunt Li’s voice and noticed the two of them. She scrutinized them, a cold expression on her face.

Ruan Tianling likewise noticed them as soon as Aunt Li started speaking.

His eyes quickly landed on Jian Yufei, then shifted onto Aunt Li.

“Young Master, Miss Yan, why are you here too?!” Aunt Li expressed, acting surprised. Jian Yufei thought to herself, Aunt Li’s acting skills were excellent, she could easily become an actress.

“Aunt Li, why are you with her?” Yan Yue asked suspiciously.

Her suspicions were not unfounded.

Aunt Li was a servant, and Jian Yufei was once the young mistress of the Ruan Family. Logically, the two of them shouldn’t be shopping together. Even if Aunt Li wanted to shop, it was unlikely that she would go with Ruan Tianling’s ex-wife.

So the only reason they were together was that Ruan Tianling had ordered Aunt Li to look after Jian Yufei.

If her suspicions were correct, it meant that Ruan Tianling and Jian Yufei were still seeing each other in secret!

No way would she allow this to happen!

Facing Yan Yue’s sharp gaze, Aunt Li forced herself to remain steady, chuckling “Today, I planned to buy something for my daughter-in-law, but I’m bad at selecting gifts, so I asked Ms. Jian to accompany me shopping.”

“Oh? What did you plan on buying for her? Maybe I can help you with your selection.” Yan Yue gave a small smirk, clearly not convinced by Aunt Li’s explanation.

Uncertain of how to answer, Aunt Li’s eyes flickered nervously. Luckily, Jian Yufei spoke up,”It’s a necklace, but we’ve already bought it so there’s no need for more suggestions.”

Without sparing her a glance, Yan Yue elegantly smiled at Aunt Li,”Can I take a look? I want to see what kind of necklace you bought.”

“Well…” Aunt Li turned to Jian Yufei, who proceeded to unzip her bag and handed over a gold jewelry box.

Aunt Li recognized the box—it was from when she accompanied Jian Yufei to the mall to buy a gold necklace.

Smiling happily, she took the box and handed it over to Yan Yue.

Seeing the box did exist, Yan Yue thought her suspicions might have been wrong after all.

She took it, glance carelessly and returned the box to Aunt Li,”Aunt Li, you can ask for my opinion next time you’re shopping. This necklace is too old-fashioned, not suitable for young women. But it suits you just fine.”

She was indirectly snubbing Jian Yufei’s poor taste.
