Back To The 90s: The Resilient Daughter-In-Law -
Chapter 403 - Chapter 403 Chapter 403 Mutual Use_1
Chapter 403: Chapter 403 Mutual Use_1 Chapter 403: Chapter 403 Mutual Use_1 He Jinlan sneered in her heart, thinking to herself how full of himself he was. He had the audacity to claim he didn’t like her, as if she fancied him? Humph! If she didn’t need to leverage the power of the Qiao family to secure her position in the He family, she wouldn’t even bother with him!
“I have no place to stay.” Suppressing her disdain, He Jinlan said, looking pitiful.
“Hehehe…” Qiao Jingxuan sneered, “You’re the heiress of the He family, and you’re telling me you have no place to stay? What about the Huo family? The man you’ve been calling father for over a decade, would he refuse you a place to stay?”
Qiao Jingxuan scoffed sarcastically, “Did the Huo family kick you out? You seem to be unwelcome wherever you go.”
He Jinlan clenched her teeth in silence, “If I’m so unwelcome, why are you still agreeing to our engagement?”
“You think I want to?” It was only because his mother saw potential in He Jinlan and believed that the future of the He family would belong to her and Jing Tong. He Shasha was just a straw bag, only chosen due to lack of options.
Now that there’s a better alternative, someone who can replace her, of course he would choose He Jinlan. Moreover, it was He Jinlan and Jing Tong who took the initiative to curry favor with the Qiao family before reluctantly agreeing.
“So you should cooperate with me a little more.” He Jinlan said, as if it were a matter of course: “We are already in this together.”
Qiao Jingxuan finally showed a hint of interest, “Oh! How do you want me to cooperate?” He always knew He Jinlan was a schemer.
“Drive me out of here, leave me homeless, wandering the streets.” That was her first step of the plan. Playing innocent to win sympathy wasn’t working anymore.
She had to back herself into a corner to make a comeback, only then could she return to the Huo family.
“Don’t forget, we’re about to be engaged. If I drive you away, how will I explain it to others?”
A hint of mockery flashed in He Jinlan’s eyes, so he still remembered that she was about to become his fiancee.
“Helping me would be helping yourself. As long as I can return to the Huo family, I can deliver Jiang Nanfei into your hands. Aren’t you tempted by that?” The only reason they allied themselves in the first place was because of mutual benefits. The only man she ever had in her heart was her brother Huo Beijiang. Qiao Jingxuan was nothing compared to him.
That offer was irresistible. Qiao Jingxuan could hardly contain his excitement, “Tell me, what do we have to do?”
“My first step is to go back to the Huo family. As long as I can return, Jiang Nanfei will never be able to enter the Huo family. If she can’t marry Huo Beijiang, wouldn’t that give you a chance?” She still had that much confidence, and she had a better plan now.
She expected that after last time’s incident, Yuan Xueshan wouldn’t be easy to manipulate. But she knew Yuan Xueshan’s weakness.
If she could find Yuan Xueshan’s weakness, she could ensure Jiang Nanfei’s downfall. Her previous leniency allowed Jiang Nanfei to take advantage. This time, with Qiao Jingxuan’s assistance, she could achieve greater success with less effort.
That’s right! When Jing Tong suggested she should use Qiao Jingxuan and the Qiao family, the first thing that came to her mind was not marrying into the Qiao family, but collaborating with Qiao Jingxuan.
After all, Qiao Jingxuan was Jiang Nanfei’s first love, a nightmare she could never escape from. Hahaha… she was such a fool before! How could she have overlooked this!
If she had utilized him earlier, she wouldn’t have ended up in her current situation.
Qiao Jingxuan’s face twisted into a savage grin, “Really? Can you really help me get Jiang Nanfei?”
“So, you’re… tsk tsk… Are you a masochist? Once, Jiang Nanfei was head over heels for you, but you brushed her off. Now that she doesn’t like you anymore, you’re scrambling after her.”
