Chapter 2057

Ning Anran, no matter how dull, had already noticed the trace of hostility in Wen Yu’s attitude towards her.

She pursed her lips and said blandly, “After chatting in the study, I went back to rest.”

“Later, Uncle Xuri said he had a headache and asked me to go down to give him a massage.”

Looking back, she glanced at that door, the disgust in her eyes momentarily covered.

When looking at Wen Yu again, her face was full of indifferent smile.

“Uncle Xuri has probably been too tired recently, sometimes he is like a child and needs someone to coax him to sleep.”

Although she couldn’t express the revulsion in her heart at Mu Xuri’s entanglement tonight,

feeling Wen Yu’s hostility, her mood inexplicably improved a little.

A woman’s jealousy could greatly satisfy her vanity.

Ning Anran walked over and took Wen Yu’s cold hand.

“Did Uncle Xuri have a tiff with Mrs. Wen tonight? Otherwise, why would the task of soothing him to sleep fall on me?”

Holding her hand, she led her step by step toward Mu Xuri’s room.

“Uncle Xuri is sleeping inside, Mrs. Wen, you should accompany him.”

Just as they were about to reach the door of that room, Wen Yu suddenly stopped.

Without a change in expression, she withdrew her hand from Ning Anran’s grasp and said flatly, “Since Xuri has already gone to sleep, I won’t disturb him.”

“It’s late, you should go back and rest early.”

Her gaze swept over the sheer chiffon nightgown Ning Anran was wearing.

Wen Yu pressed her lips together, her face expressionless: “There are too many men in this house, it’s not good to wander around at night dressed like this and risk gossip.”

“Are you saying my nightgown doesn’t look good, Mrs. Wen?”

Ning Anran spun on the spot, an innocent smile on her face.

“But Uncle Xuri just said my nightgown is very beautiful.”

With a sweet smile spread across her brows, Ning Anran added with a laugh, “Indeed, that’s what Uncle Xuri said.”

“He said youth is wonderful, everything looks good on young people, unlike some women, who lose a bit of charm with age no matter what they wear.”

Wen Yu’s face turned extremely unsightly in an instant.

Ning Anran, however, seemed oblivious to her discomfort, smiling as she nodded at her.

“Mrs. Wen, I’m off to sleep, it’s late, staying up too much ages you faster.”

She waved, turning around to run upstairs, her steps light and joyful, truly the essence of youth.

Originally, she was in a bad mood, having Mu Xuri that old man always taking liberties, just thinking about it made her sick.

But suddenly, she realized, being valued by Mu Xuri was actually a good thing.

At least from now on, she only needed to pay attention to Mu Xuri’s mood to live her life, no longer needing to pay heed to Wen Yu.

She could see clearly Mu Xuri’s current attitude towards Wen Yu.

In the future, this Mrs. Wen probably wouldn’t have much status in the Mu family.

Humming a cheerful tune, her slender and graceful figure soon disappeared at the spiral staircase.

Wen Yu stared at that staircase, her palm continuously clenching tight.

This girl certainly isn’t someone who can be kept loyal, throwing her allegiance wherever benefits lie.

Now that she saw she was no longer favored, she actually directly challenged.

With such a strong sense of self-interest, no wonder Baili Xia, even with amnesia, was unwilling to befriend her.

Back when she was trapped by Jiu, I even pleaded for her.

Thinking I could use her to somewhat tie Jiu’s heart, I didn’t expect her tricks would now be played on Mu Xuri.

She really is… raising tigers to invite calamity!

If by any chance Mu Xuri really gets involved with Ning Anran, wouldn’t she have absolutely no standing in the Mu family?
