Chapter 520: I am Lin Fan’s Legitimate Wife!

Chapter 520: Chapter 520: I am Lin Fan’s Legitimate Wife!

Inside the private room, emotions changed faster than the weather.

The state that Ning Mengyao had displayed,

even Li Qiqi and Yang Linglong couldn’t believe.

That aura emanating from within her,

truly was like an empress descending.

Even Lu Feifei couldn’t help but sigh.

Why was this Ning Mengyao, who was younger than her, so strong at heart?

In the deathly silence, suddenly footsteps were heard from outside the door.

Following that, City Lord Jiang Baoguo appeared at the open private room door.

"Hey, what’s this? Phoenix, quickly let go of my sister!"

Jiang Baoguo could never have imagined that Phoenix would actually hold a knife to Jiang Yuting’s throat.

This scared him stiff.

"Brother... save me... save me please..."

Seeing help approaching, Jiang Yuting cried out loudly.

However, Lu Feifei on this side seemed to turn a deaf ear.

The sharp blade still pressed against her delicate neck.

"You’re her brother?"

Ning Mengyao, with a cold face, looked at Jiang Baoguo as he walked in.

Being a City Lord, she naturally recognized him.

She just hadn’t expected him to be Jiang Yuting’s brother.

That little girl had quite the background.

"And you are?"

Jiang Baoguo, being able to become a City Lord, of course, had extraordinary experiences.

He instantly captured that it seemed the entire atmosphere had been stirred up by Ning Mengyao.

He looked again at the beautiful young woman in her twenties.

Who exactly was she, and why was she able to command Phoenix?

To know, that was the underground number one sister.

Even he wouldn’t dare to provoke her lightly.

"I am Lin Fan’s lawful wife, Ning Mengyao!"

When Ning Mengyao mentioned the term ’lawful wife,’ her gaze became even more resolute.

And this declaration suddenly drew an admiring look from Jiang Baoguo.

Indeed, she was a woman who could match Lin Fan.

Such a young age, yet with such extraordinary composure.

"So you are Brother Lin’s wife, my apologies for my disrespect. Since we are all family here, let’s not involve outsiders in family matters. However, I’m curious about what trouble my little sister has caused that agitated you so?"

Jiang Baoguo hastily waved at the guards who followed him, signaling them to leave.

Only then did he step into the private room.

"You should ask your sister what she said."

Ning Mengyao, however, paid no attention to Jiang Baoguo.

Even though he was once that high and mighty City Lord.

"Yuting, what exactly happened?"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Baoguo quickly turned to Jiang Yuting.

"I... I just joked about... making her a widow... and then Sister Phoenix wanted to kill me..."

Jiang Yuting’s eyes were tearful, looking pitifully at her brother.

Her casual joke had turned into such a mess.

"Making her a widow... you... your mouth... how could you speak carelessly like that... if Dad hears of this, he’ll flay your skin..."

Jiang Baoguo felt as if the world was spinning.

The background of Lin Fan—even their father was exceedingly cautious around him.

Obvious it was that some things were known.

He couldn’t believe that Jiang Yuting would wish widowhood upon someone in front of that person’s wife.

Just that statement alone was enough to infuriate anyone.

What’s more, their father had been keen on having Jiang Yuting marry Lin Fan.

Now that she had angered the lawful wife, this was practically seeking death.

"Sister-in-law... My sister here has a penchant for talking nonsense," he said, "I hope you can be magnanimous and not take her words to heart. I’d better handle this matter. If you let me take her home, I’ll ensure she’s strictly disciplined."

Jiang Baoguo rubbed his hands together, awkwardly looking at Ning Mengyao.

It would be shocking for others to know that he, the City Lord in such a high position, could lower himself like this.

It would certainly set tongues wagging.

"I just heard that the City Lord’s father intends to match her with Lin Fan. Is that true or false?"

Ning Mengyao sat on the chair with a stunned expression.

Her demeanor was so composed, it was as if the empress herself was holding court.

Even the City Lord had no choice but to stand obediently.

"This... is simply my father’s wishful thinking. Please don’t take it to heart, sister-in-law,"

Jiang Baoguo for a moment didn’t know how to respond.

After all, the arrangement between Jiang Yuting and Lin Fan hadn’t even reached the initial stages; it was just a plan by Jiang Lingfeng.

"That won’t do. Now that I’m aware of this matter, I must inquire into it. If she dares to talk such rebellious nonsense, what will she be like if she actually became part of the family? Would she not cause chaos in heaven and earth?"

Meng Yao, with a stern face, said, "That’s why I’m going to set some rules for her today, to let her know how to be a dutiful wife."

"I don’t want to—I don’t want to marry him."

Jiang Yuting immediately protested.

She had never agreed to this marriage.

"Shut your mouth!"

Jiang Baoguo immediately shouted to silence her.

Then he looked back at Meng Yao.

"What you say is very true, sister-in-law. We do need your help in managing this matter, to save us future trouble. I won’t take up any more of your time. I’ll hold another banquet soon to get to know you better."

"Big brother, you... you can’t just ignore me..."

Jiang Yuting never expected her would-be rescuer to back down now.

"You deal with your own problems and learn some manners,"

Jiang Baoguo said, and then he truly turned and left.

And casually closed the door of the private room behind him.

Because he knew Jiang Yuting would be fine.

Moreover, once she was accepted by his principal wife, the marriage with Lin Fan would proceed much smoother.

"Big brother... Big brother..."

Jiang Yuting watched the door slowly close, feeling an overwhelming sense of grievance.

But when she turned back, Ning Mengyao was already standing in front of her.

"Stop calling out. Since you’ve met Lin Fan, you should know that when he decides to do something, no one can stop him. Here, I can fully represent his opinion. Tell me, should I scratch your left cheek or your right?"

"Don’t... Don’t ruin my face!"

Jiang Yuting, frightened, quickly covered her cheeks.

This fear was something no woman could accept.

Especially for a natural beauty like her, it would be worse than death.

"What should you do about what you just said?"

Ning Mengyao squinted her eyes.

At that moment, Jiang Yuting really felt she was seeing Lin Fan, that ruffian-like demeanor.

How could this couple have such similar traits?

"I... I was wrong... I won’t dare again... I apologize... I will no longer oppose him,"

Jiang Yuting was not foolish.

She quickly softened and hastened her apology.

"That’s more like it. Remember, you can eat carelessly, but you can’t speak carelessly, especially not badmouthing Lin Fan. Also, about today’s events, no one is allowed to speak of this to anyone, including Lin Fan. If you do, don’t blame me for not recognizing you afterward."

As Ning Mengyao said this, her gaze swept toward Fenghuang and Li Qiqi.

Although unsure what she was planning, the two women nodded in agreement.

Jiang Yuting, meanwhile, was too scared to even look into Ning Mengyao’s eyes.

She couldn’t imagine how this woman of a similar age had suddenly become so assertive.

"Enough. You all go out and wait for me, Linglong and I have to talk. I’ll emphasize it one more time, nobody should know about tonight’s affairs, especially Lin Fan, he must not hear a word of it. I don’t want to start a conflict with him yet."

After taking a deep breath, Ning Mengyao once again looked at Yang Linglong.

What followed was a conversation between the best of friends, in private.

As for the content of that talk, it was known to none.
