Chapter 365: Enemies or Friends

Translator: Lonelytree

Lu Yan and Ye Qian were in awkward positions. Even though Lu Yan was the biological daughter, her position was no better than Ye Qian since she was not recognized by her birth mother.

Due to Mrs. Gu alone, Lu Yan’s return to the Gu Family became so difficult. It also deepened the enmity between Lu Yan and Ye Qian. As the first daughter of the Gu Family, Lu Yan was not accepted by her biological mother. Instead, her mother preferred someone else over her.

As for Ye Qian, she had worked hard in the Gu Family for many years. She was praised by her elders and loved by her peers. During this period, Ye Qian as the adopted daughter, received a lot of attention. Her spotlight even overshadowed the biological daughter, Lu Yan’s.

In the end, the Gu Family had no choice but to keep Ye Qian. Ye Qian was thankful for the charity and kindness. She vowed to sacrifice everything she had for the Gu Family.

Lu Yan was not willing to be outdone. She referred to Ye Qian as her Big Sister in public. Lu Yan thanked Ye Qian for taking care of her mother. From then on, she would treat Ye Qian like her biological sister. With a single sentence, Lu Yan made a clear distinction between who was real and who was fake.

The three of us sighed. Lu Yan and Ye Qian were evenly matched. They were indeed a good pair of sisters.

When we returned to M city, everything seemed to have returned to its original state.

With the arrival of early summer, the three of us recovered from our injuries and were discharged from the hospital. It was as if nothing had happened.

Ye Qian was still the vice president, while Lu Yan’s assistant continued thriving as Guan Nian’s assistant.

Because of Lu Yan, Master Gu Er’s relationship with Master Liu improved. This placed Ye Qian in a difficult situation.

Ye Qian was originally an important chess piece used to ward against Gu Nian. However, due to Lu Yan, Gu Nian suddenly became an ally.

Ye Qian was constantly reminded of her adopted daughter’s identity, and she became a lot more restrained.

Although, there was someone in an even more awkward situation than Ye Qian. It was the other young miss of the Gu family, Gu Yan.

Before Lu Yan’s return, even though Gu Yan was not from the main family, she enjoyed a powerful status because few women were among her generation. Gu Yan was also close to Master Gu Er. It was why Gu Yan was so domineering.

In addition, the Gu Family had always wanted to have a political marriage with the Jing Family. Gu Yan was the only marriageable girl, and she had always liked Jing Tian.

Ever since she came to M City, Gu Yan had been harassing Jing Tian. She was certain that Jing Tian was already her man. The marriage would solidify her power. However, she didn’t expect me to appear out of anywhere. Her plan failed, and she had lost so many more times along the way.

Gu Yan’s only purpose was to marry someone from the Jing Family. No matter how much Master Gu Er pampered her, Gu Yan would be abandoned if she didn’t accomplish her role.

Moreover, now that Lu Yan had returned to the Gu Family, the days where Gu Yan could rely on her maiden family were limited. If she couldn’t marry well, her life would be over.

Therefore, Miss Gu started to push her agenda more forcefully.

Gu Yan had inside help in the Jing Family. Jing Ning and Jing Yan were her friends. With their help, it was easy for Gu Yan to get on Old Master Jing’s good side. Furthermore, she had already impressed Old Master Jing. One of the reasons Old Master Jing opposed my relationship with Jing Tian was because he wanted Jing Tian to marry Gu Yan.

Gu Yan and Ye Qian were regular guests at the Jing Family.

Due to Auntie Lan, Old Master Jing stopped returning to the Jing Family mansion as often. Instead, he treated Jing Tian’s villa as his own home. Gu Yan didn’t dare to come over because of Auntie Lan. The only thing she could do was wait at the Jing Family mansion.

The other members of the Jing Family welcomed Miss Gu. In fact, they even encouraged her to stay, an offer that Gu Yan accepted. After all, Gu Yan was Miss Jing Yan’s good friend, and she was most likely to be their seventh madam..
