“Second Sister-in-law…”

“Yan Xi, stop calling me Second Sister-in-law. You’ll probably need to change that soon, just call me Qiao Yin!”

“No, I can’t. Grandmother said that she only recognizes you as my second brother’s wife, so I only recognize you as my Second Sister-in-law too!”

Qiao Yin laughed helplessly: “I know grandmother loves me, I didn’t expect you to back me up as well, thanks. But you really should stop calling me Second Sister-in-law.”

Lu Yanxi nodded, seemingly agreeing, but after a while, she called out again: “Second Sister-in-law, what’s this huge footprint doing on your dress in this photo?”

“It was left by Lu Lingche.”

“What? That’s so horrible of Second Brother! How could he step on your dress!”

“Look closely at what’s under his feet.”

“Is that—your handbag’s strap?”

“Yes, he stepped on the strap of my handbag to prevent me from taking it, and then forced me to sign the Divorce Agreement.”

“Second Brother really is a jerk!”

Lu Yanxi was furious: “If he can be such a jerk, Second Sister-in-law, you really should teach him a lesson!”

“Did you see the footprint on his pants?”

“I saw it.”

“I kicked him.”

Lu Yanxi gave her a thumbs-up: “Well done, Second Sister-in-law!”

Qiao Yin shook her head with a smile: “I really didn’t have a choice.”

“Second Sister-in-law, aren’t you scared of Second Brother?”

In an unquestionably surprised tone, Lu Yanxi asked: “You actually dared to kick him! You may not know, but I’ve been scared of him since I was a kid, he’s scarier than my elder brother. He never smiles and when we reunite for New Year’s, I only dare to talk to my elder brother, not Second Brother.”

“I used to be scared, but not anymore. So when I kicked him, I didn’t feel guilty.”

“Second Sister-in-law, have you been in love with Second Brother for a long time?”

Qiao Yin was taken aback: “Why would you say that?”

“I could tell. Before you married into the family, you often visited

Grandmother. Every time you heard that Second Brother was also coming, your eyes would sparkle, and your smile would be extra sweet.”

Qiao Yin could not help but lower her head, laughing bitterly: “Was it that obvious? How embarrassing.”

However, Lu Yanxi sighed: “What’s there to be embarrassed about? When you like someone, you can’t help but show it. I also have someone I like, but sadly, he doesn’t pay attention to me.”

Qiao Yin found that strange: “Why wouldn’t he pay attention to you? You’re so pretty, cheerful, and from a good family. Your work is going great as well. Why would any man reject you?”

“Sometimes, coming from a family that is too good can also scare people away.”

So everyone has their own worries. Qiao Yin, because of her mediocre family background, has always been looked down upon by Madam Lu. Lu Yanxi, on the other hand, scared people away because her background was too good.

The two of them, having shared their personal issues that they usually wouldn’t reveal to others, became much closer.

After having dinner and doing some work, Qiao Yin left for home at 8 in the evening.

Lu Yanxi also left for home, but before leaving, she called Lu Lingche to report today’s events.

“Second Brother, Second Sister-in-law has agreed to work with me. I offered her a monthly salary of six thousand. Is that okay? It’s her first time here, if I offer too much she may not accept it. Her salary can be gradually increased later.”

“You’re overthinking it. No matter how high you offer, she’ll accept it.”

“Huh? Why?”

“Because she likes nothing more than money.”

“Really? But Second Sister-in-law seems nice, I don’t feel like she’s materialistic at all!”

“She is. Otherwise, why would she have married into the Lu family? Isn’t it because of the money?”

“That can’t be true. She must have married you because she likes you.”

“Who says she likes me?”

“Second Sister-in-law admitted it herself today!”

“You believed what she said? And yet, when I say she’s into money, you don’t believe me?”

“I didn’t say I don’t believe you, Second Brother. But you may have misunderstood Second Sister-in-law, so your assessment of her could be wrong.”

“I haven’t made a mistake.”

Lu Lingche’s tone was cold: “She’s very good at pretending. Don’t let her fool you..”
