I Became the Male Lead's Stepmother After Transmigrating Novel - Chapter 76

Chapter 76: It’s My Turn to Perform
By the time Xiang Xiaoyuan came back to her senses, Jiang Yan had already walked out of the villa.

Xiang Xiaoyuan: “!”

Wait a minute, she hadn’t even performed yet!

Lu Bei had cut her off and even made her leave, but she was not Lu Bei! She had to avenge herself!

Xiang Xiaoyuan wasn’t narcissistic and thought that Lu Bei was standing up for her. It was probably because he had been displeased with Jiang Yan for a long time that he could no longer hold back.

However, this was her battle with Jiang Yan. She had not even performed yet, how could she let it go!

Thinking of this, she jogged out and chased after her. She called out to Jiang Yan outside the villa, “Lu Bei’s aunt!”

Jiang Yan was in a daze and walked out like a wandering soul. When she heard Xiang Xiaoyuan’s voice, she seemed to be energized again. She sneered and turned around, “What?”

Xiang Xiaoyuan stepped forward, “I have something to tell you. Just now, you said that Lu Bei’s father was very good to Lu Bei’s mother. I believe that their relationship must have been very good during their marriage. Otherwise, you wouldn’t have called him brother-in-law so many years after their divorce. The reason why you continue to call Lu Bei’s father brother-in-law is because of their previous good relationship, right?”

“As for me, although I’m young and haven’t experienced much, I’m broad-minded and I don’t mind. So even though you still address Lu Bei’s father as brother-in-law so intimately after they divorced, I don’t even take it seriously.”

Jiang Yan’s eyes widened. She was about to speak, but Xiang Xiaoyuan didn’t give her a chance to, her small mouth opened and closed like a machine gun. “Speaking of which, I have to say a few words about you. You’re not sensible. Lu Bei’s mother remarried and has a husband. If he heard you call Lu Wanggui brother-in-law so intimately, wouldn’t you be causing an argument?”

“But I think that Lu Bei’s mother has good taste. The husband she married has a good personality and temper. He won’t hold it against you, but I still have to remind you. Look, Lu Bei has a stepmother and a stepfather now. If you keep coming to the villa like this, others might think that you have some hidden intentions even though I know you care about Lu Bei. It won’t sound good if people talk behind your back, right?”

Jiang Yan was so angry that her face turned red, and her chest kept heaving up and down.

What did this woman mean? Was she mocking her?

Xiang Xiaoyuan smiled. “Aiyo, my words are a little harsh. Don’t take it to heart. But I’m also telling the truth. You’d better not address Lu Bei’s father as brother-in-law in the future. I don’t mind it, but Lu Bei is young and sensitive, so he might feel uncomfortable. You said that you love Lu Bei the most, so you shouldn’t make him unhappy, right?”

Jiang Yan clenched her fists tightly, and her face was ashen. The way she looked when she wanted to say something but was unable to made people feel particularly happy.

Xiang Xiaoyuan was satisfied. Looking at her leaving, she smiled complacently.

This was her first battle after transmigrating into the novel. It’s a complete victory!

She was immersed in joy, so she didn’t notice that Lu Wanggui was standing on the balcony on the second floor, with a faint smile on his handsome face.

…

Since Jiang Yan had left, Xiang Xiaoyuan was not planning to stay outdoors to enjoy the cool breeze.

She replayed the conversation with Jiang Yan in her mind and was very satisfied with her performance. The matter had developed to this point, and the conflict between her and Jiang Yan was no longer about Lu Wanggui, but a battle of dignity between women.

Just like how Jiang Yan didn’t really stare at Lu Wanggui today. From the moment they entered the door to the moment Lu Wanggui went upstairs, Jiang Yan had only glanced at Lu Wanggui a few times. Xiang Xiaoyuan even felt that Jiang Yan had come for her today…

However, the incident today with Jiang Yan had opened a new world of possibilities for Xiang Xiaoyuan.

Xiang Xiaoyuan had been tempted by Lu Wanggui before, but this kind of attraction didn’t count. There was no future with him. In short, she felt more admiration and envy for him than romantic love. It was precisely because of this that Jiang Yan’s words didn’t have any effect on her. She was indifferent and even felt that Jiang Yan’s words were a little funny.

But from an outsider’s point of view? Lu Wanggui had not properly dealt with his relationships and made it awkward for her to face his admirer. She must have been wronged, right? At least in the eyes of outsiders, she had been wronged!

If what had happened today had happened to anyone else, they would have exploded instantly. The husband’s ex-wife’s younger sister had come to the house to flaunt herself in the middle of the night. If this had happened to any other family, they would have blown up and would not be able to take a rest for the entire night.

Therefore, she wondered if Lu Wanggui would feel guilty and embarrassed because of this. After all, it was because he didn’t handle it well and was too nonchalant towards Jiang Yan’s behavior that caused her to come and say those words. She even wanted to take her place as his wife.
