　　Chapter 024: Marrying a Scum Man’s Mother (24)

　　He couldn’t help but think about the significance of Xia Changhan’s presence in the old mansion, ‘Could it be, my mother was attracted to Xia Changhan to be my wife and that’s why she brought her to the old mansion?’
　　If he guessed correctly, then he would have to re-evaluate Xia Changhan’s value.
　　
　　He wasn’t the only one wondering. Bai Youyou couldn’t eat much even while watching a table full of aromatic and colorful dinner. She had heard from Jian Ming about the meaning of the direct descendants of the Jian family meeting the head of the family. Her idea coincides with Jian Ming’ thoughts. She also thinks that Jian Yixian is more interested at Xia Changhan. She secretly gnashed her teeth, that damned Xia Changhan, too resourceful. It wasn’t easy to steal her man, but she went on hot search for a few days, and then she went the senior route to get Jian Yixian favor. If this continues, it’s only a matter of time before Jian Ming becomes Xia Changhan’s property.
　　
　　Since Bai Youyou’s dream of becoming a noble madam is about to come true, she won’t allow anyone to interfere and turn her dream into a mirage.
　　
　　They had no idea that Jian Yixian was bringing Xia Changhan back to the old mansion as a wife for herself, and had nothing to do with Jian Ming at all.
　　Everyone present had their own ulterior motives, but only Xia Changhan ate with great relish.
　　
　　As she ate, she sighed, “How come the food in Jian’s family is so delicious, what kind of immortal life is she living every day.”
　　Jian’s cooks are superbly skilled, the plates’s plating were set up like works of art, and Xia Changhan gorges herself, patting her tummy after eating, a satisfied book.
　　The system’s annoying voice sounded: “At any rate, you were mixed in the entertainment circle, is it really good to eat and drink so much?”
　　
　　Xia Changhan: “Shut up, no one will treat you as dumb if you don’t speak.”
　　Is the system the kind of system that stops squeaking when it’s scolded? No, it wasn’t, not only would it not shut up, it would continue to beep, “Even if you don’t think about your figure, you have to think about Jian Yixian.”
　　Xia Changchan: “What’s wrong with Jian Yixian?”
　　The system phantom: “When you eat, Jian Yixian’s eyes wanted to swallow you alive, maybe tonight she will climb to your bed.”
　　Xia Changhan seriously considered it and said, “Then I’ll wear less to save the effort of undressing.”
　　System: “……..”
　　
　　”Think about it, you’re eating so much now, what if you throw up all over her later when you exercise together.”
　　Xia Changhan imagined that kind of picture, two people love was so thick, suddenly one couldn’t control the “blegh” and vomited to the other’s body…….
　　”Oh, don’t say that.” She felt a bit nauseous.
　　
　　When dinner was over, Xia Changhan strolled around the garden of the old house, trying to digest her food, ready Jian Yixian crawled into her bed later.
　　Jian Ming and Bai Youyou had a lot on their minds, so after dinner, they said a word to Jian Yixian and went back to their house.
　　After closing the door, Jian Ming lalaid down on the bed, their eybrows knitted into knots.
　　
　　Bai Youyou took off her shoes and crawled onto the bed, hugging Jian Ming’s neck and saying, “What exactly is the meaning of Xia Changhan’s presence there, if you don’t welcome me, I’ll leave.”
　　
　　Jian Ming didn’t feel like coaxing her: “How do I know?”
　　Bai Youyou wasn’t ashamed to act, tears came, “Big brother Ming, I’m afraid your mother doesn’t approve of us being together.”
　　Jian Ming was distraught, “I’m worried too, I’m afraid that my mom will be more interested in Xia Changhan.”
　　
　　After a long while Bai Youyou went silent, and Jian Ming opened his eyes to find Bai Youyou’s eyes red, tears crackling down, and her delicate and weak appearance was particularly pitiful.
　　
　　Jian Ming sat up and held her in his arms to comfort her, “Why are you crying, even if my mother forced me to marry her, I wouldn’t agree to it, the worst that could happen is that I would have a fight with her and give up my inheritance.”
　　Bai Youyou thought, ‘If you give up your inheritance, I’ll have to give up on you, too.’ That’s what she think, but she didn’t say it.
She nodded softly and snuggled into Jian Ming’s chest, “I love you, Big brother Ming.”　　
　　Jian Ming kissed her forehead: “I love you too.”
　　He added in his heart, ‘But I love Jian Family’s huge family business even more.’
　　
　　Jian Family’s old house could host several generations, although there’s no need to drive from the bedroom to the bathroom, the garden is still huge, and Xia Changchan slipped around and got lost in the garden.
　　She stood on the gazebo and raised her eyes to look around, finding the scenery somewhat familiar.
　　
　　Xia Changhan walked down from the pavilion, there was a tree next to the pavilion, she took out a packet of tissue paper from her pocket, tore and twisted it into strips to tie it to the tree, made a mark, and then continued walking along a cobblestone path, walking and surprisingly went aback.
　　
　　
　　Xia Changchan: “Hmph, system, turn on navigation!”
　　System: “Scanning the surroundings, map generation in progress…”
　　”Ding, the map has been generated.”
　　”Follow the path to the south and go to the crossroads.”
　　
　　Xia Changhan: “If I can distinguish between east, west, north, and south, do I need your navigation?”
　　System: “…follow the path ahead and stop at the crossroads.”
　　Xia Changhan turned left and right according to the system’s navigation, and finally saw the lights not far away.
　　
　　She quickened her pace and ended up running all the way, feeling that something went wrong, why did the lights look starry in the distance, but when she got closer the lights were sparse and not connected.
　　She remembered the system’s antecedents, in the last world to give her directions, all the way to someone else’s bath, was found by the girl who was bathing, caught her and gave her a good beating, now she still remembered her face pain.
　　
　　She slowed down, suspicious, “Is there a bath up ahead?”
　　
　　The system lengthened its tone, “No.”
　　Xia Changhan slowly walked forward, faintly smelling a smell of sulfur.
　　She suddenly had an ominous premonition.
　　
　　Sure enough, after turning a rocky mountain, a hot spring suddenly appeared in front of her, with dense water vapor and fine waves gurgling. The hot spring is about ten square meters in size, standing here, Xia Changhan can vaguely see someone soaking in the hot spring, there were a woman, black hair coiled on the head, supported by a jade hairpin.
　　
　　Xia Changhan inhaled a mouthful of cold air, her face aching, she gritted her teeth, “This is what you mean by not a bath?”
　　System: “There are no baths, only hot springs.”
　　Rubbish system, even dared playing words with her.
　　
　　Xia Changhan crept back, and the system said, “Definitely not peeping this time.”
　　Xia Changhan coldly said, “No peeping.”
　　System: “……..”
　　”Ancient society is conservative, so of course you’ll get beaten up if you scurry into someone’s bath to peep them naked.”
　　
　　”You’re the one who pointed the way!”
　　The system justified, quietly disappeared, Xia Changhan continued to retreat, although she tried to lighten her hands and feet, but her friction on small stones will still make a sound.
　　
　　The woman’s ears were relatively sharp, heard the footsteps and turned around, seeing Xia Changhan stealthily walking backwards like a thief.
　　Jian Yixian smiled and waved at Xia Changhan, “Shorty, it’s me.”
　　The first thing Xia Changhan did when she heard this was to quickly slip away, and the feeling of the heat on her face wasn’t pleasant.
　　
　　Jian Yixian saw that Xia Changhan heard her voice and planned to run away. She hurriedly got up and shouted, “Shorty, it’s me, Jian Yixian.”　　
　　Hearing the familiar name, Xia Changhan stopped and turned her head to see the hot spring light coming to her face.
　　Xia Changhan blushed to the roots of her ears, President Jian was teasing her again.
　　Jian Yixian pulled her forward and asked, “Why are you running away?”
　　
　　As she spoke, droplets of water rolled off the delicate, supple skin, and some slide it down her legs.
　　”I’m not running away.”
　　Xia Changhan ran to the hot spring with a red face and picked up a towel to wrap Jian Yixian tightly: “President Jian, there’s no cover here, it’s better to put on clothes.”
　　
　　”Don’t worry, there’s no surveillance.”
　　”It’s not a matter of surveillance, how bad the impact would be if someone comes and sees you.”
　　
　　Jian Yixian: “This hot spring belongs exclusively to me, no one will dare to come here.”
　　”But I did come here.”
　　
　　Jian Yixian struggled to get out of the bath towel and stretched out her hand to point at Xia Changhan’s forehead: “You’re the first.”
　　Xia Changhan smiled slightly and wrapped her up again.
　　
　　Jian Yixian sighed helplessly and pushed her into the hot spring while Xia Changhan wasn’t paying attention, then jumped down as well.
　　Xia Changhan was unprepared and gulped down a few mouthfuls of water, she pounced in the water, “President Jian, My feets are cramping, I’m choking to death.”
　　Jian Yixian panicked and ran to her side to pull her up.
　　Xia Changhan reached out to hold Jian Yixian’s arm, legs grabbing hard, Jian Yixian also “plopp” fell into the water.
　　Xia Changhan laughed, “President Jian, is the bath water taste good?”
　　Xia Changhan fell into the water, her thin clothes were clinging to her body, her curves looking more slender.
　　
　　Jian Yixian surfaced, her eyes were greedily looking, “The water tastes good, now I’m missing a piece of dessert.”
