Chapter 289: Let’s not be Friends anymore

Translator: c.o.keZero      Editor: Rainystars

Xie Yunjin was disgusted at how disa.s.sociated Xu Qingyin appeared. He could tell that this woman wasn’t really that drunk. How could drunk people walk this far? He could also tell that the servant didnt want Xu Qingyin to come but had no choice.

This woman was here for him.

Xie Yunjin truly didn’t appreciate unreserved women. How could a woman act without the slightest chaste? Should women who go delirious at the sight of men really oe considerea women(

Xie Yunjin’s expression was cold, “Lady, please respect yourself. I have a wife and children. I need to keep my distance from other women.”

He then turned to magistrate Hu.

Magistrate Hu was annoyed at how Xu Qingyin refused to leave and shouted for his own people, “Zhu Er, where are you?! Please walk Lady Xu to the back courtyard.”

He shouted for Zhu Er twice before Zhu Er answered.

Xie Yunjin was speechless. As a magistrate, he truly was powerless. Even his personal servant dared to disobey and take his orders lightly. What capable things would he be able to achieve?

Magistrate Hu knew how useless he was and was embarra.s.sed. When Zhu Er entered the pavilion, Magistrate Hu kicked him.

“If you cannot handle these small things, what’s the point of keeping you?!” Zhu Er scrambled up and invited Xu Qingyin to the back courtyard.

Xu Qingyin didn’t expect this to be the result of her scheme. She was so angry her face was black. She then took her servant and went back to where she came from.

Back at the pavilion, Xie Yunjin didnt want to say much more with Magistrate Hu. Even if Xie Yunjin wanted to help, the magistrate had proven that it would be too difficult.

Magistrate Hu knew that people who worked for him had gotten lazy. This was because he was constantly depressed and fought very little for things.

This time, however, he was determined to fight.

“Yunjin, do think of my suggestion. I know you are worried about your family. Think about it though, can you guarantee the safety of your family even if you don’t help me?

For those in the game, anything can happen. Sometimes, you might be sitting at home and disaster could strike. It wasn’t possible to avoid everything.

Xie Yunjin ignored magistrate Hu and left the garden. Once he left, he saw Lin Dong rush over.

Lin Dong went up to Xie Yunjin and reported in a quiet voice, “You asked me to go to the back courtyard to check up on the lady in case something happened. Something actually happened.

Xie Yunjin’s face fell cold. With his eyes angry, he demanded, “Who spoke out against my wife?”

“Lady Du from the Han family. She said…”

Ling Dong glanced at Xie Yunjin before he continued to whisper, “She said you’re both from the countryside and were used to scheming. You lied to master Han in order to live in their house for free. Lady Lu had to show everyone the deed to stop the conversation. The magistrate’s daughter-in-law also stepped in to help Lady Du.”

Before Lin Dong even finished, Xie Yunjin was already filled with exasperation.

He’s been close with cla.s.smate Han but he’s never taken advantage of him.

While he was paralyzed in bed, cla.s.smate Han did help him a lot. He didn’t help for free though. Xie Yunjin was repaying his kindness by teaching him and making sure he pa.s.sed the exam. Without his help, there was no way cla.s.smate Han would pa.s.s the exam to become a scholar.

The more Xie Yunjin thought about it, the more depressed he got. The pair headed back to the back courtyard. Once they arrived, cla.s.smate Han was looking for Xie Yunjin.

He noticed how angry Xie Yunjin looked and asked, ‘Yunjin, what’s wrong? Are you sick?”

Xie Yunjin looked back at cla.s.smate Han coldly. Honestly, he i s been treating cla.s.smate Han as a close friend with the utmost sincerity. But as long as that woman was living in his house, their friends.h.i.+p wasn’t going to last. Perhaps a clean break was better for them.

Xie Yunjin’s expression softened a little. However, his calmer face strangely made cla.s.smate Han feel anxious.

Xie Yunjin spoke gently, “Cla.s.smate Han, I think we should not move ahead with our business idea. Of course, you can still do the business yourself. I will also do what I can to help you with the exam in September. After that, I think it’s no longer necessary for us to keep being friends.”

To cla.s.smate Han, Xie Yunjin’s words were like lightning strikes. He truly saw Xie Yunjin as his best friend. He wasn’t smart and was indecisive about a lot of things. He’d come to Xie Yunjin for advice when that happened and Xie Yunjin always talked him through it.

He planned on being close friends with Xie Yunjin for life. Who knew Xie Yunjin wanted to break up?

Cla.s.smate Han felt like he had been struck by lightning.

Xie Yunjin was already walking away. Cla.s.smate Han couldn’t help but shout loudly, “Why? Why are you doing this out of nowhere?”

Xie Yunjin didn’t want Cla.s.smate Han to feel bad. He explained, “Cla.s.smate Han, it’s not that I don’t want to be friends with you. But with that wife of yours, I don’t think our families can go far together. Since that’s the case, I think it would be better if we split up early. It’d be better for us to split while things are okay rather than being forced to split because things have gone downhill. This way, even if we stop being friends, we can still respect each other.”

Cla.s.smate Han knew what had happened right away. His wife had done something to Lu Jiao.

Cla.s.smate Han’s entire face twisted into a pretzel.

()ther than truly liking Xie Yunjin as a friend, being with Xie Yunjin was good for both the Han and Du families.

The Han and the families had no strong pillar to rely on. With Yunjin’s intelligence, he would definitely become an official. One that will go way further than magistrate Hu.

If the Han and Du families tied themselves to someone like Xie Yunjin, they could go way further. Everything he’s done thus far has been destroyed by his wife.

Cla.s.smate Han wanted to hit Du Lanzhu.

Xie Yunjin was already on his way back to the banquet.

Cla.s.smate Han ordered his servant to find out what happened.

In the back courtyard, dinner was pretty much done. At the table, someone suddenly shrieked, “Lady, where’s the pearl on your hairpin?!”

The person who shouted was Xu Qingyin’s servant. She stared at Xu Qingyin’s hairpin with a bewildered expression.

Everyone else looked over to Xu Qingyin. The giant pearl that was once placed in the middle of her hairpin had truly disappeared.

Pearls were rare. In a small place like the Qinghe District, pearls were even more valuable.

Xu Qingyin only managed to get one because of her father. A businessman gifted a pearl to his father and since Xu Qingyin was his only daughter, he gave it to her.

All the other ladies were jealous of her pearl and now, it disappeared.

Everyone exchanged astounded glances.

Other than the guests, Madame Songs face was beyond ugly. It was her grandson’s one-month celebration yet things kept on going wrong. That was a shame.

Xu Qingyin jumped out of her seat and started to search around.

Beside her, Xiaojue asked loudly, “Lady, could it be that when you went to pay your respect, you hit something and it fell?”

Xu Qingyin nodded violently, “That could be the case..”
