After being forced into marriage, the metaphysical master became the darling of the richest family.

Chapter 272

Upon hearing the other person mention Jin Yize, a hint of doubt flashed in An Jiuxi's eyes. "Who are you?"

Jin Yize, who was standing to the side, coughed lightly and met the little girl's gaze. He quickly gave her a look of explanation.

He stated that he has no relationship with Le Xiaotong!

Seeing that the other party was unaware of her identity, Le Xiaotong reverted to her arrogant demeanor, tossing her hair and saying smugly, "It seems you're not that important to Jin Yize. Jin Yize and I are childhood sweethearts; we grew up together."

Another childhood sweetheart?

An Jiuxi cast a teasing glance to her side, then looked away. "It seems Yi Ze has quite a few childhood sweethearts, but I've never heard him mention you, and I don't think I've ever seen Miss Le next door to the old house?"

The Jin family's old residence!

Le Xiaotong's heart skipped a beat, and her jealousy towards An Jiuxi intensified.

"Jin Yize actually took you to the old house?"

The old house isn't a place anyone can go to; it's generally not open to members of the Jin family, unless it's for a banquet or something.

Otherwise, outsiders wouldn't have a chance to get in!

Thinking back to how I used to live in the house two doors down from the Jin family's, I never had the chance to go inside.

Why should this little vixen be allowed in?!

"Where do I live now?" An Jiuxi sensed the shock in her voice and understood a little.

The Jin family owns many properties, and Jin Yize's parents have lived in various cities for a period of time, so the so-called childhood sweetheart relationship is largely fabricated.

Le Xiaotong forced a smile, "Oh, I see. It seems Jin Yize treats you very well."

"But did you come alone this time? Does he know you have so many men with you?"

Perhaps feeling that her words were too blunt, Le Xiaotong smiled apologetically again.

“Miss An, I’m just a straightforward person, but I’m worried that it might have a bad influence on the Jin family if you, a woman, were to mingle with men.”

This haughty manner reminded An Jiuxi of the wicked mother-in-law in TV dramas.

Anyone who didn't know better would think that Le Xiaotong was someone from the Jin family.

“Miss Le, you don’t need to worry about this. Yi Ze also came to Jiangnan with me to recuperate, but he is not feeling well and needs to rest, so he did not come with me today.”

An Jiuxi said this because she didn't want anyone to hear it and spread rumors.

This will also serve as a warning to those restless people, lest they think Jin Yize's absence will lead them to act recklessly towards her!

As soon as she finished speaking, An Jiuxi clearly noticed that the person in front of her had brightened up a bit!

Le Xiaotong couldn't contain her excitement. "You mean, Jin Yize has also come to Jiangnan?"

I don't know what she's so excited about.

An Jiuxi nodded out of politeness.

I wanted to change the subject and focus on the matter at hand.

Unexpectedly, her wrist was grabbed.

"Xixi, can I call you Xixi?"

Le Xiaotong beamed and acted intimately, leaving An Jiuxi momentarily stunned.

The three people standing behind him looked at each other in bewilderment upon seeing this scene.

"As expected, the feelings between women are complicated." Bai Pu couldn't help but mutter, clicking his tongue as he looked at Le Xiaotong, who was clinging to An Jiuxi.

I've made up my mind to stay away from this fickle woman.

Jin Yize frowned, but he didn't want to step forward and pull the two apart, so he coughed lightly to remind them, "Miss An, let's deal with the matter at hand first."

Le Xiaotong frowned in displeasure at the sound coming from behind her.

But when he looked at An Jiuxi, his face couldn't hide his warmth. "Xixi, I was just worried that someone would try to ride on my coattails, so I treated you like that. Now that the misunderstanding is cleared up, let's be good friends from now on?"

These words shocked An Jiuxi, who twitched the corner of her lips in surprise.

Without a word, he pulled the hand that was being held back.

I couldn't help but think to myself, does Le Xiaotong have intermittent amnesia?

How can this be explained away?

Noticing that something was wrong with her, Le Xiaotong's eyes showed a hint of anxiety.

"Xixi, I'm so sorry about what happened just now. I really didn't mean it. Please forgive me, okay?"
