Quick Wear: I'm Really Not a Scumbag

Chapter 29: The "Bad Man" in the Imperial Examination (8)

Apart from receiving a few old ladies of similar status to hers, Old Madam Chen would go back to her room to rest. It is rare for people to live past seventy, and she is almost eighty years old.

This matter naturally did not escape her eyes and ears. She did not stop Wang Chufen at the time because she felt that Aunt Fan had destroyed the mother-son relationship and she was not the biological mother. She watched Chen Xuyan grow up, and people are all kind. He greeted her every day with courtesy, and his academic performance and interpersonal communication were all excellent. Who would not be moved by such a long-lasting relationship?

Now that things have come to this, I don’t know if I can go on.

"Chen Xusheng is coming." The system reminded Jiang Yihuan.

Originally, Chen Xusheng had come to see the joke. No matter how this matter was handled, it would benefit him. She was just a concubine's daughter, what could she possibly be? Although he was still entertaining guests, it didn't prevent him from being ridiculed later. When they went to class together, he would bring a few people to mock her.

"System, I want to redeem the "Love at First Sight" halo." Jiang Yihuan saw that the crowd had begun to make way, and she vaguely guessed that it should be Chen Xusheng or Chen Xuyan coming. People in the Chen family are not the kind of people who give way to others easily.

"Are you sure? This will use up all your luck points. Aren't you planning to upgrade your peerless appearance?" The system was a little skeptical, but actually secretly delighted.

"I'm sure that only by conquering Chen Xusheng will I have more luck." The greater the risk, the greater the opportunity.

Chen Xusheng came to clean up the mess, but he had no intention of helping Chen Xuyan's fiancée.

Deep down, he looked down on illegitimate children, not to mention that the other party was just a concubine's daughter from the minister's family. How good could she be?

But his expression changed as soon as he saw Jiang Yihuan. This was Chen Xuyan's fiancée, who was so beautiful, even more stunning than those princesses and princesses. Although she was not very old, her stunning appearance was already apparent.

Chen Xusheng felt that this must be the most beautiful woman he had ever seen.

He helped Jiang Yihuan out of the predicament and took her to his own garden.

Everyone around looked at Chen Xusheng in surprise, but no one dared to say a bad word about Jiang Yihuan. Even Jiang Yili stood beside Jiang's mother who had just arrived and said nothing.

"When did she get to know the second son of the Chen family?"

"She's truly a vixen."

"Keep your voice down. Aren't you afraid that she'll use the Chen family's influence to cause trouble for you?"

"That's right."

"I don't know what methods this concubine's daughter has."

"She has an outstanding appearance and will probably be a beauty in the future."

"The Jiang family is really good at this."

Mrs. Jiang was startled, but she looked up to see who was speaking, and after seeing clearly she did not dare to refute.

Everyone present here is of low status, and I'm afraid that from today onwards, they will all invite Jiang Yihuan to their own banquets.

Jiang Yihuan sneered. Although the young Chen Xusheng couldn't be as experienced as he was when he was an adult and could hide his emotions, he had some of the demeanor of a noble family and was worthy of being the son of destiny.

"Under the effect of the halo, Chen Xusheng's favorability towards you has reached 40%. The mall has been refreshed. Host, you now have a lot of items to exchange, and your luck points are enough." The system's heart was extremely greedy. It wanted these luck points, but it had to get her consent. At present, it did not have the ability to directly plunder the luck points.

"Thank you very much, sir. If it weren't for you, they definitely wouldn't let me leave so easily." Jiang Yihuan saluted.

Chen Xusheng quickly helped her up and said, "No need to be polite. Guests are welcome. No one can entertain guests at my Chen family's banquet."

"Are you the son of the Chen family?"

"I am the second son of the Chen family."

"I see."

The two of them talked for a long time, but Jiang Yihuan was able to grasp many of his views, which made him look at her in a different light. Although she was a concubine's daughter, she was not only beautiful but also knowledgeable. It seemed that the Jiang family had a good upbringing. In the end, she was still the lucky charm for Chen Xuyan.

I don't know what luck he has.

The two separated just as the banquet was about to start. Chen Xusheng was reluctant to leave when Mrs. Chen called him away. The two seemed as if they had been good friends for many years.

Chen Xuyan was expecting him to cause trouble at the banquet, but instead, he seemed to be in a daze, his spirits lost. Is that system's enchantment so strong? It seems it cannot be underestimated. It hasn't absorbed much energy yet. If it absorbs enough energy, it might be able to directly break free from its host and absorb the Luck Value. I don't know how Jiang Yihuan in his previous life subjugated the system. Given its greedy nature, it will definitely not let Jiang Yihuan go easily.

What unexpected thing happened?

Jiang Shaomin naturally knew what her half-sister had done. She seemed like a completely different person in just six months. Was she provoked? Or, as her mother had said, possessed by an evil spirit? Even her appearance had changed drastically. While she could still recognize her as Jiang Yihuan, she didn't look like her. She couldn't explain the change. It was simply that the Jiang family had wronged the eldest young master. I heard she was even involved with the second young master today.

"Never mind. This isn't your problem. I'm not married to her. Who she gets close to is her business." He didn't care about reputation. Even if he didn't do anything, Jiang Yihuan would find a way to break off the engagement. Not to mention taking his life, maybe even like in his past life, he'd be imprisoned by that hermit doctor.

He doesn't care whether a woman behaves in a proper way or not.

But the crowd couldn't stop pointing and talking.

"Yes." Jiang Shaomin lowered his head in shame.

Seeing his self-blame, Chen Xuyan tried to comfort him, "It's just a reputation, don't worry about it. In this mansion, Chen Xusheng keeps hounding me all day long, saying I'm just a bastard, but what effect does that have on me?"

Yes, the eldest young master is not only outstanding in ability and valued by the head of the family, but also has a broad mind. How could he care about these words? I am narrow-minded.

His eyes gradually became clearer, "I understand, Master."

"There's nothing to do recently, so I'll allow you to go home and rest." The teacher gave them a holiday to prevent them from being absent-minded in class, but he also emphasized that they should not look distracted when they go to school.

"Yes." This time when he goes back, he must take a good look at what his second sister is doing.

I haven't seen my mother and sister for a long time. Staying for a few more days will allow me to have a good rest and be more filial to my mother.

I can also take care of my naughty sister.

"Go to my warehouse and pick something to take back. Don't go home empty-handed." There are many rare items in Chen Xuyan's warehouse. Some of them were given by his family, and most of them were collected by him. Many things in the Chen family have to be registered by the housekeeper before they can be withdrawn, but Chen Xuyan does not need to use the things in his own warehouse.

Jiang Shaomin was obviously hesitant, but Chen Xuyan calmed him down with just one look.

The young master is really nice, but he certainly won't push his luck. How can he pick out the inferior ones from these good ones?

"It's indeed a wealthy family." Jiang Shaomin felt that he had to pick out the bad ones from here.

It is also a difficult thing.
