【New Red Mansion】Perfect World

Qin Ke'er answered the phone impatiently: "Hello, how are you~" It was obvious that she was still sleepy.

"Hello, are you asleep?" the person on the other end of the phone asked knowingly.

When Qin Ke'er heard the familiar and pleasant male voice, she woke up instantly. She quickly got up and sat up straight.

"Tell me, what's wrong?" She spoke softly, completely different from the crazy and stupid girl she was in the afternoon.

"I'll help you do one more thing tonight. The time is almost right. Everything should go according to plan. Protect yourself and play your role well..."

"Hmm..." This one word was enough to represent a thousand words. She wanted to ask him: How have you been these days? Where is he? But she was choked up in her throat and couldn't ask anything.

"It's still the same old rule. Delete the call records."

"I see."

"Good night." He hung up the phone without waiting for her to answer.

Qin Ke'er said slowly into the phone: "Good night!"

In recent days, Jia Lian has been helping Jia Zhen in the garden. Because of Qin Ke'er's incident, it was reported that the guest who splashed red paint was beaten that night. Jia Zhen was furious. He finally dealt with the person who came to investigate, but the guest couldn't hold back anymore and said he would sue Qin Ke'er no matter what.

But Qin Ke'er refused to give in and firmly stated that it was not her who arranged the beating. Of course, Jia Zhen absolutely believed that Qin Ke'er would not do this. She was mature and stable, and handled things smoothly. How could she do such a stupid thing? But because of this, Qin Ke'er had to pretend to be sick and rest at home. Jia Zhen immediately felt as if he had lost a capable general and was very angry.

Of course Jia Lian was happy to help. Sometimes when he was busy late, he could still meet You Qianning. After a few visits, the two gradually became familiar with each other.

After getting up and having breakfast that morning, Wang Xifeng changed into her business suit as usual, but with a pair of smoky grey silk stockings with gold threads underneath. She was tall, with long, slender legs, and high heels, and she looked very elegant.

Jia Lian also tied his tie and was about to take off his coat. He took one look at Wang Xifeng's stockings and said jokingly, "These stockings are beautiful and coquettish! But it's so cold today, don't let them freeze you to death." As he spoke, he stroked her leg.

Wang Xifeng's heart skipped a beat when she heard the accent in his words. Jia Lian was born in the capital and spoke with a Beijing accent. He usually spoke Mandarin and would never speak in a coquettish tone!

Then he covered up his emotions and said with a smile, "It's very hot in the main building. I always wear a long coat when I go out. Don't worry!"

After pushing him, she asked him seriously, "Why does Big Brother always bother you to go over and help him? Has his problem not been resolved yet?"

Jia Lian had already started putting on his shoes. He had been paying close attention to his appearance recently. While looking at which pair of shoes would match his trousers, he casually replied:

"It is said that a customer is going to sue Qin Ke'er, but this side is forcing him not to do so. They said they promised him that they would not charge him interest on the money he lent him, but he is not happy about it. I don't know what the guy wants to do, but he is making things up and it is hard to figure out."

Wang Xifeng sneered after hearing this: "Your Suzhou accent is quite obvious lately. But who taught you that?"

Jia Lian was stunned for a moment, then he smiled and said, "No one taught me. It's just that my sister-in-law over there occasionally spoke like this, and I learned a few words from her."

Wang Xifeng rolled her eyes and said coldly, "Even I rarely see my sister-in-law, and you can talk to her?" Then she opened the door and went to work in the main building of the garden.

At lunch, Wang Xifeng couldn't help asking Xu Ping, "What's going on when a person suddenly starts speaking with an accent?"

"That's not a big deal. You just learn it when you're in that language environment. For example, I'm from Sichuan and Chongqing, and I've been in Beijing for a long time, so I can speak a little bit of the dialect, and my Mandarin has become much more standard.

Look at Miss Lin again. When she first came, she spoke with a slight accent. Now that she has been with the young master of the Li family for a long time, she speaks with a Beijing accent. "

After Xu Ping finished speaking, he picked up a piece of chicken wing and started to eat it. He didn't notice that Wang Xifeng's face was not looking good.

After lunch, Wang Xifeng called Qin Keer...

The next day at noon, Wang Xifeng specially made some time to visit You Shuying, bringing some nourishing foods such as bird's nest, fish maw, and sea cucumber.

I haven't seen her for a while and I feel like she has lost weight.

Wang Xifeng sat by the bed and asked with concern, "Sister-in-law, why did you lose weight again? Did you not eat well? How do you feel?"

"I don't feel anything, I just can't eat anything. If I could eat something, it would be better."

"Have you seen the doctor? What did the doctor say?"

"Don't even mention going to the hospital. They'll just give me a bunch of medicine. I can't take that much medicine. Resting is more effective than taking medicine."

After hearing this, Wang Xifeng finally smiled.

"You're right. Don't let your imagination run wild. When the weather is nice, go out and bask in the sun. Take a walk in the garden, and you'll feel better."

Speaking of the garden, You Shuying sighed again: "I'm tired now, why don't you go sit with your wife for a while! She hasn't been feeling well lately. If you go see her and chat with her, she'll be happier."

After listening to this, Wang Xifeng nodded, gave her a few more words to reassure her, and then said goodbye and went to see Qin Ke'er.

I ran into You Qianning in the corridor.

You Qianning nodded slightly to Wang Xifeng and turned aside to make way for her.

Wang Xifeng paused and asked, "Can I have a word with you?"

You Qianning nodded and took Wang Xifeng to her room.

Wang Xifeng got straight to the point: "I am Jia Lian's wife. I know you two have been very close recently."

You Qianning sat down on the sofa first, and then asked Wang Xifeng to sit down.

"I can't stop people from liking me."

Wang Xifeng's eyes widened slightly: "Are you willing to be a mistress?"

"I don't want to. To be honest, I don't like the men of the Jia family."

After hearing her words, Wang Xifeng felt that she had made the right decision to come today.

"To be honest, I don't like it either. It's just that I haven't found a way out yet."

You Qianning said mysteriously: "Maybe I can help you."

The two women exchanged glances for a moment, and finally Wang Xifeng took the lead in laughing, and You Qianning also laughed out loud.

After Wang Xifeng left, You Qianning opened the drawer of the bedside table. There were many cards inside, all of which were handwritten cards that Jia Lian had recently given her along with the flowers.

From the time she was attacked during the performance to today, in just over a month, her interactions with Jia Lian were a little too frequent. The rapid development of their relationship made her feel a little overwhelmed. Wang Xifeng's arrival today was a reminder to her not to get too involved in the play, lest she be unable to extricate herself when she stepped back.

Not long after, a text message was received on the phone:

"You were attacked in the basement of the Grand Theater before. It was arranged by Jia Lian, who wrote, directed and performed it himself."

"Got it, thank you!" You Qianning replied quickly.
