Chapter 1113: Chapter 1117: Good, as You Wish

After serving her sentence for over a year, she had become much gaunter, and fine lines now decorated the corners of her eyes. Her appearance had taken several blows compared to the past.

Moreover, she was not of unparalleled beauty, merely plain beauty.

She had caught Han Zuo’s eye because she bore a slight resemblance to his younger sister from their childhood.

But in front of a younger and more beautiful lady from a prestigious family, did her slight resemblance to Han Zuo’s sister still count as an advantage?

Seeing her tongue-tied and unable to speak, Yian Jingxue scorned with a “tsk” and mockingly said, “If you still care about your face, stay far away from Brother Zuo whenever you see him, don’t come out and embarrass yourself! You’re not even fit to be my maid, and you still want to compete with me for Brother Zuo? Even if Brother Zuo went blind, he wouldn’t give you a second glance. Just scram already, don’t be disgrace yourself here!”

Qin Wanyue trembled all over from the scolding, utterly humiliated.

She looked towards Han Zuo, her wide, helpless eyes glistening with tears, “Brother Han, are you just going to let her humiliate me? Have you forgotten? You once said you’d always protect me, always be good to me…”

“Hey, how can you be so shameless?” Yian Jingxue frowned in disgust: “You betrayed Brother Zuo, sent him to prison, and now you want him to protect you, to always be good to you? Are you sick in the head? You might be crazy, but Brother Zuo isn’t, and if he’s not seeking revenge on you, that’s just his forgiveness and magnanimity, why should he still be good to you?”

Yian Jingxue “tch’d”, waving her hand dismissively and glancing at her with disdain: “Psycho!”

She clung to Han Zuo’s arm, affectionately swaying it, transforming from a warrior brimming with fighting spirit to a demure and charming young lady in an instant: “Brother Zuo, let’s not waste words with a lunatic. Shall we go? It’s still early, how about singing some karaoke?”

Although Han Zuo was somewhat unaccustomed to such intimate contact with her, he was always softhearted and a gentleman.

Yian Jingxue was standing up for him, showing her support in the face of this challenge by acting so intimate with him, and of course, he wouldn’t expose her, sparing her the embarrassment.

His lips curled into a gentle smile, nodding his head, his voice filled with an indulgence even he didn’t realize, “Okay, as you wish.”

Watching Han Zuo’s tender gaze and indulgent smile as he looked at Yian Jingxue, Qin Wanyue felt as if her heart was being shredded by a knife.

After coming out of prison, she had been without a stable home, struggling at the very bottom of society every day.

These days were even harder than when her family had gone bankrupt and she was a poor student at school.

Back then, she was still a student.

The campus environment was relatively simple.

Everyone around her was a student, with no issues of servitude or oppression.

But after being released, working as a waitress, she was surrounded by upper-class people.

Above her were the supervisors and managers.

She had to serve the customers coming in for meals during her shifts.

She had to be extremely cautious and pleasing to everyone she met, fearing that she would lose this job, which was critical for her survival.

Before seeing Han Zuo again, she had seen him as her future hope for a turnaround.

While she was humbly serving others, she always harbored a hope that Han Zuo would descend from the heavens and rescue her from her dire circumstances.

She always dreamt that one day, she would meet Han Zuo, reconcile, and her days of suffering would come to an end.

She would throw her work badge in the manager’s face, and under the envious and shocked gazes of her colleagues, leave with Han Zuo, returning to the good days where he cherished and nurtured her with great care.
