Otherworldly Companions: Every Handsome Man is Extraordinary
Chapter 86 Standoff (Part 1)
Jiang Yu remained smiling, making no attempt to steer the conversation toward why Ren Kecheng had led such a large group of people across the dance floor to stand directly in front of her.
Compared to the overwhelming numbers of the opposing side, even though Lu Shuang and Lan Yu arrived behind her and Fan Qingyin immediately, their side still appeared too weak.
However, Jiang Yu was not worried. With the performance review imminent, and this taking place in a castle arranged by the empire, anyone who wasn't mentally ill, even if a little stupid, wouldn't cause trouble at this time.
Jiang Yu shifted her gaze slightly upwards, and the head butler had already appeared behind the railing in the center of the second floor, watching everything that was happening here.
Let her investigate thoroughly to find out why this precious daughter of the Ren family is so hostile towards her.
"Although I didn't recognize you, you recognized me at a glance, and you even brought so many friends with you. I'm truly flattered. I would like to invite everyone to sit down and have a proper chat, but as you can see, my rest area is so small. It doesn't seem quite right to arrange who sits and who stands. What do you think?"
"You!" Ren Kecheng wasn't stupid; she understood what she meant. Well, she stole her thunder and even mocked her with words. "Lord Jiang Yu, you certainly have a good tongue. You spoke beautifully."
Then she smiled and said, "These are my friends from before I came of age. It's a pity that Lord Jiang Yu had no social life when she was young, otherwise our connection wouldn't have started only now." This was a rebuttal, telling Jiang Yu that her current lack of help was simply her own doing.
"There's no way around it, my body was too weak before I came of age. I was originally thinking of taking advantage of this trip back to the capital to get to know the lords of our Ocean Empire. I didn't expect you to have the same idea as me. You're so thoughtful to bring so many friends over." Jiang Yu immediately retorted, mocking them for bullying her, a sickly girl who had just come of age.
Ren Kecheng clenched her fists in anger. Seeing that she couldn't win the argument with her on this point, and considering that she had indeed taken the initiative to bring people to find her, she changed the subject and brought up something else.
"There will be many more opportunities to get to know each other in the future. What attracted us this time was Lord Jiang Yu's dazzling dress. Could you introduce us to the designer? Such a talented person should not be buried in some unknown corner."
Hearing her say that, Jiang Yu's smile became even brighter. She took Fan Qingyin's hand and introduced her, "I haven't introduced her to everyone yet. This is my husband, Fan Qingyin, a divine envoy from the Aurora Empire."
Fan Qingyin had long since concealed her true feelings. At this moment, she simply gave a curtsy as a greeting and said nothing.
"What do you mean by this?" Ren Kecheng wondered to herself, then asked the designer about her husband. "Has Jiang Yu recovered physically but then developed mental problems again?"
She glanced at Fan Qingyin without leaving a trace. She had long heard that Jiang Yu's chosen divine messenger husband was like a celestial being, and seeing him this time, it was indeed as rumored. Not only was he handsome, but his overall demeanor was truly captivating. No wonder Jiang Yu was completely under his thumb and took him everywhere she went.
If someone like that had chosen me back then, I probably would have successfully paired them up. Unfortunately, like the one from the Kong family, he has poor judgment, actually falling for someone like Jiang Yu who only has beauty.
It's unpleasant.
With Kong Yiche's family background and character, he was clearly the perfect match for her. They had even had a brief relationship when they were young, arranged by their parents. She had already fallen for him then, and thought that with her family background and looks, he should feel the same way. But a sickly guy had interfered. How could she not be indignant?
As a result, Kong Yiche's efforts were all for naught. He worked hard and tried every means to get the number 1 position, but Lord Jiangyu didn't even look at him. It was truly laughable.
Although she found Kong Yiche's situation laughable and was glad he hadn't found a partner and remained single, it didn't mean she appreciated or agreed with Jiang Yu's actions. This was clearly a slap in the face; the person she cherished like the apple of her eye, Jiang Yu had the audacity to look down on her. Who exactly was she looking down on?
If Jiang Yu knew about Ren Kecheng's thoughts, she'd probably roll her eyes from the southernmost point of the Ocean Empire all the way to the northernmost point of the Aurora Empire. So dramatic, isn't that right?
"Oh, I forgot to tell you, this dress I'm wearing was designed by my husband himself." Jiang Yu said, gently snuggling closer to Fan Qingyin. What a great opportunity, delivered right to her doorstep for a Versailles-like experience, how could she let it slip by?
She practically said, "If you're so capable, let your own husbands design it for you!"
Several lords standing behind Ren Kecheng exchanged glances, fearing that Ren Kecheng would rush up and start a fight. This Lord Jiang Yu was really ruthless in his words, it was infuriating.
Ren Kecheng laughed in exasperation, then turned to Fan Qingyin and said, "I didn't know that the Divine Envoy had such good skills. It seems that he has put in a lot of effort to keep our Lord Jiangyu's heart."
Jiang Yu was furious. Was there something wrong with this woman? She almost blurted out a curse: "Are you crazy?!" But Fan Qingyin gently stopped her.
Fan Qingyin smiled knowingly: "Women are the treasures of the empire, and wives are everything to their husbands. I am willing to give everything for Xiaoyu, even my life. What is this little thing?"
"Does Lord Ren Kecheng not have a husband who is so devoted to you?"
Men and women shouldn't be at odds or quarreling, but this lord is using his family background to cause trouble recklessly, and he's not one to back down. When it comes to Xiao Yu, he will show no mercy.
"The divine messenger appears aloof, but unexpectedly, he is quite eloquent." Unhappy that his wife was being verbally attacked, Ren Kecheng's husband finally stepped in.
Jiang Yu then looked closely at Ren Kecheng's husband, only to find that she hadn't noticed him at first not only because he hadn't spoken, but also because in this world where men are generally good-looking, he could only be considered average-looking, so he didn't attract much attention.
So, Ren Kecheng, with such a shallow and foolish personality, doesn't care about looks? This surprised Jiang Yu.
Perhaps it was Jiang Yu's undisguised curiosity that angered Ren Kecheng, who angrily explained, "Don't underestimate my husband, he's royalty."
"No one underestimates your husband, so where did you get that idea?" Jiang Yu, like a cunning hunter, finally found the fatal flaw in her prey, and with a satisfied smile, delivered the fatal blow.
