The fate was changed, the mistress of the Hou family was slapped in the face and made money to win

Chapter 179 Yang Manman and Shen Yanxi get close

Chu Jingyue's words made Yang Manman's face darken for a moment, but soon, she laughed contemptuously again.

"Miss Chu, don't you understand who I'm talking about? Why do you have to pretend to be confused?"

As she spoke, she shifted her gaze to Jiang Suining with an obvious sense of superiority.

"Before, on the street, this Miss Jiang was so sharp-tongued that I thought she was the daughter of some wealthy family, but I didn't expect..."

Yang Manman sneered and didn't say anything else.

"Yang Manman, don't you look at what you look like? You hang out with men all day long, and you have the nerve to talk about Sui Ning." Chu Jingyue said bluntly.

After all, she was the third daughter of the Duke's Mansion. She didn't want to cause any disputes and upset her father, so she gave in a little. However, it was impossible for her to humiliate Sui Ning in front of her.

Yang Manman raised her chin higher, "Princess Chu, I'm different from women like you who always talk about etiquette. I'm not that pretentious. Besides, they and I are like brothers, and there's nothing dirty about us like you think."

"Brother?" Chu Jingyue shook her head. "That's ridiculous. You know what you are thinking."

Yang Manman's eyes were full of pride. "If Chu Jun is jealous, you can go find them to play with you. But I think you only know about embroidery and dresses at most, and you won't understand how happy we are riding horses and drinking together. I'm afraid that even if you approach them, they may not be willing to pay attention to you."

"you……"

"And Miss Jiang, the smell of money all over your body might drive people away. Any man of some status probably doesn't want to have too much contact with you."

"I don't know when you can represent all men."

A slightly cold voice came from the stairs, and Shen Yanxi and Chu Changhe walked over together.

The person who just spoke was Shen Yanxi. He glanced at Yang Manman who turned her head, and then his eyes fell on Jiang Suining. When he saw Chu Jingyue was there too, his eyes were slightly stunned.

So Sui Ning invited more than just Chu Changhe?

After seeing who was coming, Yang Manman was stunned at first, and then a look of joy appeared on her face.

"Mr. Shen, what a coincidence, how come you are here too!"

This sentence of "What a coincidence" no longer had the sarcasm in his previous speech with Jiang Suining and the others. It was refreshing and crisp with joy.

But Shen Yanxi did not answer Yang Manman's words, and did not even look at her. He walked straight to Jiang Suining.

"Just when I was leaving the Hanlin Academy, I happened to meet Brother Chu. He told me that you invited him to have tea, so I came here without an invitation. Do you mind?"

Although Chu Jingyue was also present, she invited Chu Changhe for tea but not him...

Shen Yanxi felt a little sour.

"I don't mind." Jiang Suining shook her head. The people were already here, she couldn't just say she minded and then chase them away.

"Then I won't be polite." Shen Yanxi took the lead and sat down next to Jiang Suining, then looked at Chu Changhe, "Brother Chu, please sit down too."

Chu Changhe glanced at Yang Manman, and thought of the mocking words he heard when he went upstairs just now. He frowned, but did not speak, and sat down on the seat to the left of Chu Jingyue.

The moment Chu Jingyue saw Chu Changhe, her heart beat faster unconsciously, but when she thought of Yang Manman still standing there, she felt unlucky again.

"Ms. Yang, how long are you going to stand here? There is no place for you here."

Seeing that she was ignored by Shen Yanxi, and that he actually bypassed her and spoke directly to Jiang Suining, Yang Manman couldn't help but frown.

However, she naturally couldn't just leave like that. She pretended to look at Shen Yanxi nonchalantly and spoke again: "Mr. Shen, we haven't seen each other for a while. I haven't had time to congratulate you on your success in the imperial examination!"

Hearing Yang Manman's familiar tone that seemed just short of an arm's length, Chu Jingyue rolled her eyes in her heart.

Shen Yanxi finally looked at her, and after a moment of silence, he asked, "Do we know each other?"

"Pfft!"

Chu Jingyue laughed out loud.

"Miss Yang, it turns out that Lord Shen doesn't even recognize you. This is almost too much."

Yang Manman's face froze, but she soon forced a smile again, "Sir Shen, please stop joking. I am Yang Manman, the third daughter of the Duke's Mansion. We have met before."

"Really? You don't remember." Shen Yanxi withdrew his gaze indifferently, picked up the teapot on the table and poured a cup of tea for Jiang Suining.

Yang Manman stood there, looking at Shen Yan's attitude, feeling extremely angry.

Especially when he saw him personally pouring tea for Jiang Suining, he couldn't help but frown. Doesn't Shen Yanxi know Jiang Suining's identity?

She rolled her eyes and spoke.

"Mr. Shen, I didn't expect you and Miss Jiang are so familiar with each other. Could it be that you got to know each other because of her shop?"

Yang Manman seemed to be asking out of curiosity, but her purpose was to reveal Jiang Suining's identity.

"Does this have anything to do with Miss Yang?" Shen Yanxi looked at her coldly, "Do you think I shouldn't have more contact with Miss Jiang?"

"Mr. Shen, please don't misunderstand me. That's not what I meant." Yang Manman frowned and sighed, "I don't speak in a roundabout way like other women. If I've made Mr. Shen unhappy in any way, please forgive me."

As she spoke, Yang Manman's gaze fell on Jiang Suining again, her tone full of emotion.

"Ms. Jiang seems to be a pleasing person, but fortunately I don't care about that. Even if I'm not as pleasing as Miss Jiang, it doesn't matter."

This sounds like he is saying that he is not as good as Jiang Suining, but inwardly it clearly means that Jiang Suining has means.

"Miss Yang's words seem somewhat contradictory."

Jiang Suining looked at Yang Manman with a smile.

"You just said that I was full of money and no man would want to get close to me. Now you're saying that you're not as pleasing as me. It seems a little too quick to change your words."

"I……"

"Also, Miss Yang keeps saying that she doesn't care, but I've never seen anyone say something that they don't care about over and over again."

Jiang Suining's smile was gentle, calm, and a bit amusing.

Yang Manman's face turned red when she heard this, and she gritted her teeth secretly, but she quickly recovered her composure and shrugged helplessly.

"Miss Jiang is really good at talking. No wonder people say you shouldn't quarrel with women. Fortunately, I usually deal with men, otherwise I would have been wrongly accused to death."

"Ms. Yang is wrong." Shen Yanxi shook his head and said.

Yang Manman asked doubtfully: "What's wrong?"

"Being tongue-tied is natural and has nothing to do with gender."
