【New Red Mansion】Perfect World

Jia Baoyu has recently reached a bottleneck period at work. He looks forward to getting off work every day. As long as it is time to get off work, he does not want to stay at the TV station for even a minute longer. Unlike before, there were many girls with different personalities there. He liked to linger among them, buy milk tea for the girls, give them snacks. Occasionally, he would even take them home if it was convenient.

However, Su Miaoyu has been keeping a close eye on him for nearly half a month. She didn't keep a close eye on him before because Su Miaoyu said that they already worked together every day, and if they stayed together every day, there would be no novelty in it.

When Jia Baoyu heard this, he was very happy. He immediately broke away from Su Miaoyu's control like a bird out of a cage and began to wander among the flowers.

Later, he really attracted a few random peach blossoms to Su Miaoyu, and Su Miaoyu regained control over him. Jia Baoyu was happy that Su Miaoyu was in charge of him, otherwise he really couldn't handle those random peach blossoms.

Sometimes he himself did not understand what these girls were thinking. He was willing to get close to them, but that was not love, he just wanted to play with them. However, while playing, some of them would fall in love with him.

Jia Baoyu is the one who only cares about causing trouble but not handling it. He was the one who caused all the romantic affairs, but he really doesn't know how to deal with them, so in the end he has to rely on Su Miaoyu for help.

Let’s talk about three days before the performance. That day, the two of them came back from get off work together and parked the car at the old house of the Jia family. Because the TV station had distributed New Year’s Day benefits, there were some wine and meat that Su Miaoyu didn’t want to touch. The two of them had exactly two benefits, one for Jia’s grandmother and one for Wang Ziyan. The things were not much, but they were also the children’s filial piety.

As soon as he entered Wang Ziyan's residence, he heard low voices of conversation. Jia Baoyu mischievously eavesdropped through the crack of the door.

It turned out that it was Xue Baochai who came to visit. At the moment, Xue Baochai was talking about how Old Madam Li disliked her and how she set up a trap with antiques and made her fall into it. Now everyone in the capital laughed at her and she was afraid to go out. She even shed a few crocodile tears when she talked about her pitiful side.

Wang Ziyan used to go out for social events frequently and was well-informed. But in recent years, due to a series of incidents at home, she no longer liked to go out for social events and gradually focused on chanting Buddha's name.

"Amitabha, since you are married into the Li family, you are a member of the Li family. Why would she set up a trap to harm you? If you are embarrassed, she will also be embarrassed. If she didn't like you, why did she agree to let you marry into the family?"

Madam Li certainly didn't like Xue Baochai. She saw that she had bad intentions from the moment she followed Ye Shuyan to frame Lin Pin'er. And Madam Li didn't agree to her marrying into the Li family. She had advised her mother at the beginning, but she still didn't listen to the advice and was even willing to negotiate a marriage to marry Li Haoze.

Xue Baochai cried hypocritically, thinking all these in her heart but unable to say them out loud. She still cried pitifully to Wang Ziyan.

Jia Baoyu couldn't bear it any longer, so he stepped into the house and interrupted their conversation.

Su Miaoyu followed him into the house, but she ignored Xue Baochai and only told her how to put away the New Year gifts. She acted like a member of Jia Baoyu's family. In the end, Xue Baochai got up and said goodbye.

Seeing that she was about to leave, Su Miaoyu quickly winked at Jia Baoyu and said in a low voice, "Please persuade her not to do wrong things again. This is also a gesture of friendship between you two as friends."

Then she smiled and said to Wang Ziyan, "It's cold outside, and Baoyu just happened to be wearing his coat, so let him see Baochai off. I'll chat with Auntie for a while!"

Wang Ziyan had no choice but to let Jia Baoyu send Xue Baochai out. After the two of them left, Su Miaoyu glanced at the maid Caiyun and said, "I brought a box of snow pears today. They are used to make white tea, which is the best for soothing dryness. Baoyu is also worried that his throat will be hurt while recording the show. You quickly make a pot of tea. When Baoyu comes back, we can all drink it, isn't it nice?"

Caiyun listened and then looked at Mrs. Wang's expression. After all, her employer was still Mrs. Wang, so she could ignore what other people said.

Mrs. Wang nodded to Caiyun, and Caiyun left the room to make tea.

Seeing that no one was in the room, Su Miaoyu said to Mrs. Wang, "Auntie, I have something to say today. Please don't be angry after I say it. Just understand that I am doing this for everyone's good."

"Good boy, go ahead and say it." Mrs. Wang nodded.

"Xue Baochai also played with us in the garden before. Not to mention me, Baoyu was very good to her. But if she had considered her friendship with Baoyu, she shouldn't have rushed to get close to Shui Rong. She shouldn't have said bad things about Lin Pin'er behind her back. I don't know about others, but Baoyu was also irritated by her and gradually became estranged from her. After all, in terms of closeness, Lin Pin'er and he are family. Who can tolerate their own sister being bullied?

One more thing, you haven't been out much lately because you've been worshipping Buddha. I don't know the rumors outside, but it's said that she sold the antiques of the Li family to buy the shares of the Li family, and also sidelined the second brother of the Li family."

Wang Ziyan nodded silently after hearing the first part, secretly happy that this future daughter-in-law understood Baoyu very well and was of the same mind as him. But after hearing the second part, she began to frown and helped Xue Baochai to argue, "We were just talking about this before you came. She said that it was a trap set by Madam Li and that they didn't resell their antiques."

Su Miaoyu did not refute, but changed her tone to comfort him: "It is inconvenient for us to get involved in other people's family affairs. Even an honest judge would find it difficult to judge family affairs! I only have a small request, I hope you will have less contact with her and listen to her instigation less. The most important thing is, don't invest in anything she does, just to make Baoyu feel at ease."

Wang Ziyan's face changed for a moment when she heard this. It was true that Xue Baochai had just talked to her about investment, but when Wang Ziyan asked her how she wanted to invest, she mentioned her difficulties in the Li family. She was interrupted by them coming in, and left without mentioning the investment again.

"Don't worry, I won't invest in her. But aren't you too prejudiced against her? I think she's a good girl, but she's just unlucky!"

Su Miaoyu sighed. After all, they were not a family yet, and she might not listen if she said too much. She had said all that she needed to say, and she felt at peace with herself.

Outside, the two people walking in the cold wind had nothing to say to each other. Jia Baoyu talked about their childhood friendship, their current situation, and even talked about their previous lives. However, Xue Baochai just couldn't listen to what he said, and instead began to teach Jia Baoyu:

"I'm doing fine, just take care of yourself! Don't worry about other people's affairs. I don't need you to teach me how to do things."

Jia Baoyu was choked by Xue Baochai's words, thinking: Yes, what does her business have to do with me? It's more important to take care of myself!
