First Assistant's Petite Wife Has Space - Chapter 252

252 Be Mindful of those two Evil Women

The family that lived the most west was a family with the surname Su. They were business owners. The man of the house sold textiles for a living. There were lots of members in that family with Lady Xu as the head of the household. Lady Xu was in her early thirties but had low energy.

She lived with her in-laws and more importantly, with her younger brother-in-law’s family.

When Lu Jiao’s family visited, Lady Xu’s mother-in-law and brother-in-law all came out to visit.

The brother-in-law’s wife had a rather smutty appearance. Her gaze fixated on Xie Yunjin and refused to leave.

!!
Lu Jiao didn’t like the way she looked at Xie Yunjin. How barbaric. It was obvious she was not a good woman.

Lu Jiao didn’t want a woman like this to affect the four little ones. Therefore, she coldly glanced at the woman and then bid farewell.

“Lady Xu, we have guests coming over today. We shall find another time to get together.”

Lady Xu was friendly and also intelligent. She knew right away that Lu Jiao minded her sister-in-law’s provocative stare and hurriedly stood up to walk out the guests, “Let me walk you out.”

After Lu Jiao’s family left, the mother-in-law had the audacity to shout, “If your family invited people over for a meal, how come you didn’t invite us?”

Lu Jiao pretended she didn’t hear and walked away. Lady Xu was so embarrassed her cheeks were red as she apologized, “Lady Lu, ignore her. She’s not right in the head.”

Lu Jiao shook her head and sympathetically stared at Lady Xu. Now she knows why Lady Xu appeared so exhausted.

With in-laws like that, nobody could rest.

After Lu Jiao’s family left, Lu Jiao said to the four little ones, “Keep your distance from the Su family.”

The four little ones nodded, “Mommy, we got it. Their family isn’t good.”

Lu Jiao nodded in satisfaction, “That’s right.”

Behind them, Xie Yunjin also expressed his resolve, “I will keep away from their family.”

Lu Jiao’s lips twitched. Why would that be her business?

Her face, however, appeared rather happy. She didn’t like that old woman and that young woman. Not only did that sister-in-law look at Xie Yunjin weirdly, but that brother also looked at her weirdly.

Lu Jiao couldn’t help but raise an eyebrow and wonder why such a neighbor existed beside theirs. She thought everyone who lived here would be educated and nice.

Lu Jiao’s family went to the next family. This family was even simpler and hosted one old man and his adopted son.

The old man had the last name Tong, commonly known as old man Tong. Old man Tong enjoyed drinking and had already had some this morning. Though he wasn’t drunk, his face was bright red. Towards the guests, however, he was still courteous.

Given that it was late, Lu Jiao had a few exchanges with old man Tong and then left.

Behind her, Xie Yunjin mysteriously stared at old man Tong for a few extra seconds. When old man Tong first saw Xie Yunjin, he appeared a little startled. Though he looked away quickly, Xie Yunjin still caught it.

Does this old man know him? Xie Yunjin searched his memories. After the last exam, he became rather famous and it shouldn’t be a surprise that someone knew him.

The family stopped their visits for the day and returned home.

“I will take Feng Zhi to help out in the kitchen. You can take the children and greet the guests. If the wives arrive, tell Lu Gui to come and fetch me.”

Xie Yunjin nodded and exhorted, “If you need anything, ask them to do it. You shouldn’t have to work anymore.”

Lu Jiao nodded and smiled, “I will.”

Afterward, Lu Jiao took Feng Zhi to the back courtyard. The four little ones wanted to follow her but Xie Yunjin asked them to stay.

Lu Jiao ignored the sons and their father. She pondered over the lunch today to see if there was anything else she needed to do.

Behind her, Feng Zhi whispered to Lu Jiao, “Lady Lu, you must be careful of the eldest daughter, Zhao Hehua. His gaze never left the master’s face.

Also, be careful of that woman living in the west. It’s obvious she’s not an appropriate woman and she may just seduce your husband.”

Feng Zhi kept her gaze on Lu Jiao, thinking that she didn’t seem to care much about the master. This was why she spoke up to caution Lu Jiao. However, she wasn’t sure what personality Lu Jiao had yet and didn’t dare to speak too much in case Lu Jiao got mad.

Lu Jiao turned back at Feng Zhi. If it weren’t for the scar on her face, she would be considered a beauty. She also had a great figure.

Lu Jiao thought of the cosmeceutical store she planned on opening. There will be products that treat scars that Lu Jiao could try out on Feng Zhi.

“Do you want to get rid of the scar on your face?”

“Huh?”

Feng Zhi stared at Lu Jiao with her mouth open. Weren’t they talking about other women seducing the master? Why were they talking about her scar now?

“Ma’am, you have to be careful of those two women.”

Lu Jiao knew that Feng Zhi was telling her all this for her benefit. Sadly, she didn’t know that they were about to get a divorce. Xie Yunjin’s business was no longer going to be her business and vice versa. Plus, given what she knows about Xie Yunjin, those two women were not his type.

Lu Jiao found this funny and pinched Feng Zhi’s cheek, “Don’t worry about us. My husband wouldn’t be interested in those two.”

Those two women were not his type at all. Zhao Hehua was okay looking, but she was just average at best. Her beauty wasn’t alluring enough to make men succumb.

As for the woman who lived west of them, she was already 27-28. Just how thirsty and hungry did Xie Yunjin have to be to want her?

Feng Zhi heard Lu Jiao but didn’t give up on cautioning her.

“The worry is that they fail their attempt at seducing the master and ruin his reputation. The master is going to take the exam next year.”

This time, Lu Jiao listened. Because Xie Yunjin’s reputation impacted the four little ones. Lu Jiao’s expression turned serious, “Keep an eye on those two.”

Feng Zhi smiled instantly, “I will keep an eye on those two evil women.”

She then thought about it and added, “I will also tell Lin Dong to keep an eye out. We won’t let those women get close to the master.”

Her muttering warmed Lu Jiao’s heart.

This girl had a good heart and was saying all this so Lu Jiao’s family wouldn’t get hurt. The thought of Feng Zhi’s harmed face and the reason behind it made Lu Jiao respect her. She’ll have to figure out a way to help Feng Zhi fade that scar and later, find someone nice for her to marry.

The two of them got busy inside the kitchen.

Other than aunt Hua, aunt Qiu also helped. When Lu Jiao and Feng Zhi arrived, they joined them.

The women chatted and laughed while they worked, the atmosphere was easygoing and laid back. Aunt Hua, aunt Qiu, plus Feng Zhi, were extraordinarily happy and they silently exclaimed once again how lucky they were.

Out of all the guests, Lu Jiao and Xie Yunjin thought Classmate Han would be the first to arrive. However, Zheng Zhixing and his wife were the first to arrive.

“Classmate Yunjin, good news sure has brought you much spirit. I watched your energy improve each day and today, you even bought a place here in osmanthus alley. Once you soar to the top, remember to give me a lift.”
