Chapter 365: The Patient One
It must be said that An Si Niang was indeed somewhat swayed by the persuasion of Second Girl, but then her heart became conflicted again.
There is no wall that does not let the wind through.
If she truly wanted to take action against Xiao Yun, she had a hundred ways to end his life.
But paper cannot contain fire; this matter would eventually reach An Yiran's ears. By then, would this niece forgive her as an aunt?
In the past, when her parents died early, her brother and sister-in-law treated her like a treasure, constantly asking about her well-being. At that time, she had a boyfriend, but her brother opposed him vehemently, worried that her happiness would depend on someone so unreliable. Ignoring her brother's advice, she eloped with that man to the capital. Years later, she learned that her brother had suffered greatly from her departure, which triggered a heart condition that ultimately led to his death; not long after, her sister-in-law succumbed to depression and left this world.
The couple left behind only one orphaned daughter, An Yiran.
An Si Niang's husband had already passed away, and she had no children. She wanted to reconnect with her niece but heard that after returning from the military, An Yiran joined the Duan Group in the Galactic District.
Growing up, her brother and sister-in-law had spoiled her immensely. Now that they were both dead because of her actions, facing this only remaining relative, An Yiran had unconsciously become her lifeline.
More accurately, An Yiran had become the only spiritual support for An Si Niang's existence in this world.
An Si Niang knew that her niece stayed at the Duan Group simply to repay the kindness of the Duan Family. However, what she could not understand was why, after Duan Haoran's death, An Yiran chose to stay by Xiao Yun's side.
What was even harder for her to believe was that Xiao Yun, known for his flirtatious nature and surrounded by so many women, had captured An Yiran's heart.
What surprised An Si Niang even more was that on the night before Xiao Yun arrived in the capital, An Yiran had given him her most precious first time and asked him to convey something to her aunt—implying a deeper meaning.
An Yiran was clearly telling her as an aunt that Xiao Yun was her man. If he encountered any trouble upon arriving in the capital, it was not only her duty to help him but also to protect him...
In such circumstances, if she were to take action against Xiao Yun, it would be akin to stabbing her own niece in the back and could even drive her towards a dead end.
Just imagine—a woman giving away her most precious first time to a man indicates how significant he is in her heart.
At this moment, all An Si Niang hoped for was that her niece would not be as blindly impulsive in love as she once was; at the same time, she wished that Xiao Yun would not be as frivolous as the man she once pursued but instead bear responsibility for the woman he loved.
However, from the information she gathered, Xiao Yun had many women around him, yet there had never been a case of him abandoning anyone.
In fact, if anyone harmed any woman near him, he would rush to their defense without hesitation.
Thinking of this, An Si Niang let out a long sigh and slowly shook her head at Xiaoyu and Second Girl, saying, “Xiaoyu, Xiao Jing, I cannot accept your thoughts. He is the man that your Sister Yiran loves the most, and I cannot do anything to make her sad. If I were to make her sad, I might as well die!”
Upon hearing this, Xiaoyu and Xiao Jing were taken aback and spoke in unison, “Boss Lady—”
“Don’t say any more!”
An Si Niang once again showed signs of fatigue, gently closing her eyes and saying, “You two are my closest girls. From now on, you can call me auntie like An Yiran. If there ever comes a day when I am no longer here, this estate will belong to you.”
“Auntie!” Second Girl knelt before An Si Niang, crying uncontrollably.
An Si Niang pulled them up with her own hands and smiled, “Don’t be like this, as if I’m about to die. By the way, when Xiao Yun comes here, you must treat him well and not neglect him, or it will upset your Sister Yiran. Do you understand?”
Her words were clearly a reminder for them not to secretly take action against Xiao Yun without her knowledge.
An Si Niang knew very well that Second Girl was loyal to her; for her safety, they might really do anything.
After hearing An Si Niang’s words, Second Girl understood her meaning completely.
They replied in unison, “Auntie, we understand!”
……
On an island in the East China Sea, in a villa.
At this moment, in the villa's hall, Fairy of Mist and Haze Yuwen Lianyan was chatting with the Incense Cigarette Nun, when Tree Hollow Daoist hurriedly walked in from outside.
“Ha ha, Tree Hollow Daoist, you really have great skills! You returned from America so quickly. Did you get in touch with that Freyte?” Yuwen Lianyan asked with a smile.
Wiping the sweat off his face, Tree Hollow Daoist shouted angrily, “Damn it! When I got there, I didn’t even see a hair of that Blood King!”
With a frown, Yuwen Lianyan asked, “What happened? Who doesn’t know that you, Tree Hollow Daoist, can talk to anyone and anything? With your abilities, how could you not meet that Freyte?”
Tree Hollow Daoist sighed and said, "Ah, you may not know, but that Freyte has long left the United States!"
Then, Tree Hollow Daoist told Yuwen Lianyan and Incense Cigarette Nun that when he arrived in the United States, he first found an old friend in Chinatown, which led him to learn that Wilson's father had used his position as a Congressman to accept bribes and sell national secrets, ultimately getting exposed and imprisoned. Although Wilson was a fraud, his true identity was Freyte, and as a result of the situation, he had received advance notice and had already slipped away.
"If I estimate correctly, that guy must have run off to Golden Island in the Mediterranean. However, without special identification, I can't get in!" Tree Hollow Daoist lamented.
Incense Cigarette Nun took a puff of smoke and blew out a series of smoke rings, laughing, "So it seems our plan with Fairy of Mist and Haze is going to fall through!"
Fairy of Mist and Haze smiled and said, "It's not that easy. According to recent intelligence I've received, the Island Nation, wanting to seize the Spiritual Eyes of Panlong Mountain, has sent several Beauty Agents to Xiao Yun. However, things didn't go as planned; instead, they were all subdued by Xiao Yun, becoming his women. Do you think the Island Nation will just let this go?"
"Damn it! Those Island Nation People are still as greedy as ever!" Tree Hollow Daoist cursed angrily.
Incense Cigarette Nun also expressed her anger, saying, "What do they want to do now?"
Yuwen Lianyan replied, "I've heard they have already sent someone to contact Freyte, hoping to use the power of the Blood Demon Clan against Xiao Yun..."
"Where did you get this information?" Incense Cigarette Nun curiously interrupted her.
Yuwen Lianyan smirked slyly and said, "There's a girl named Zhu Yan Hong at the flower shop in Xiao Yun's Drunken Beauty Company. Her true identity is actually a hidden agent from the Island Nation. She reported this to me. But don't spread this around; let's just wait for the show to begin!"
