I became the Counterpart of the Winner in a Period Novel-Chapter 159 - 156: One Shocking Revelation After Another

Coincidentally, Xue Zongsheng’s small courtyard is also on Pear Blossom Lane, on the same street as Xu Modun.

The people living on this street have quite a background, no wonder the Xue Family was willing to spend a fortune of one hundred thousand to buy medicine for Xue Hongcheng after he became a vegetable. They have the capability!

From fifty meters away in the alley, Jiang Mingyue’s spiritual power successfully entered Zheng Honglian’s sea of consciousness.

And in the scene, Zheng Honglian was using a key to open the courtyard gate of Xue Zongsheng’s small yard.

Everything Jiang Mingyue saw with spiritual power, she explained to Yan Jinzhi, lest he get bored following her.

Actually, Yan Jinzhi wasn’t bored at all; he was exceptionally busy, his mind constantly spinning with the project they were currently researching. If it succeeds, the border will have added protection, and even if the enemies want to invade, they’ll have to weigh if they have the capability.

Yet, when his mind spins for a long time, it can get tired. At this moment, he looks at the girl beside him, watching her smile and her calculating eyes, and the fatigue in his brain disappears instantly.

"Do you think Zheng Honglian has hooked up with her good friend’s man? Otherwise, why would she have the keys to someone else’s newlywed house?"

Yan Jinzhi: "..." How was he supposed to respond to this? So he simply remained silent.

"Wait, what did I see? Zheng Honglian was really pitiful last night, with no dormitory to take her in. I saw her everywhere yesterday trying to connect with people. Indeed, without genuine connections, only interests can be exchanged, but she had none. Tsk, she ran to the old lady’s place last night in pitch darkness, just relying on the old lady’s patience. And she didn’t consider the old lady’s intentions. Xu Feng is cooperating with Jiang Zhenzhu to marry Zheng Honglian to Jiang Beiyang as his wife, but Jiang Beiyang has gone mad now.

Zheng Honglian knew the old lady wanted to match her with Jiang Beiyang, yet she still sent herself to her door.

This way, it’s only a matter of time before she’s in trouble. Last night, the old lady arranged for her to sleep in the same room as Jiang Beishan, but Jiang Beishan didn’t welcome her, pretending to have dreamt a few times and kicking her off the bed. As a result, she ran back to the city to seek help from Jiang Zhenzhu."

"Xue, luckily you’re here, where’s Zhenzhu? I’m here to find her."

Xue Zongsheng just got up, finished washing up, and was about to go to work at the department store. After falling out with Cui Mingshi, he was kicked out of that circle, and even his job was changed, although he hated it, at least there was a place that accepted him. Although he shared the last name Xue, his status in the Xue Family could not compare to his cousin Xue Hong. Yes, they are indeed cousins. He originally had the surname Zhang, but after his father died, his mother brought him to seek refuge with the Xue Family, and to please them, his surname was changed. Later, her mother remarried Pan Cheng, but his surname didn’t change back. His stepfather treated him well, as if he were his own son.

Seeing the gate of his house open and this woman holding the keys to his house’s gate, Xue Zongsheng’s expression turned bad immediately.

"Zheng Honglian, where did you get the keys?" 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦

"Zhenzhu gave them to me! I came back three days after you got married, not knowing it was your wedding." Mentioning this, Zheng Honglian couldn’t hold her emotion. "Xue Zongsheng, why... why did you marry Zhenzhu? I mean, you clearly know Zhenzhu only has Cui Mingshi in her heart."

Mentioning this, Xue Zongsheng forgot he was just an employee, and negative emotions filled his chest instantly.

He clearly knew Zhenzhu first, he was clearly the one who loved Zhenzhu the most, but why? Why hasn’t Zhenzhu seen him, her eyes and heart only have Cui Mingshi? What made him vomit blood was that Jiang Zhenzhu loved him so much, yet Cui Mingshi could just say no and it meant no, like a mama’s boy, if Mrs. Cui said no, it meant no, and he had no opinion of his own.

"Xue, what’s wrong with you?"

Seeing the man immersed in self-painful emotions, women were most needed for comfort.

At this moment, Jiang Mingyue used her spiritual power to attack Zheng Honglian’s nervous system.

Before long, the two people who were originally in the yard went into the room, and Zheng Honglian locked the door behind her. Soon, the two rolled onto the bed.

Oh dear! They talk about deep love, but is this the kind of love? Zheng Honglian may have used a bit of spiritual power, but it was only about three percent; most of it was her inner desire for Xue Zongsheng being enticed. And Xue Zongsheng? She didn’t move a finger.

So, when the post office opened, Jiang Mingyue was the first to deliver a letter, under the pseudonym kind neighbor Zhang San. The so-called letter was just a drawing, and the content of the drawing? Naturally, it was two little people snuggling under a quilt. Trust Jiang Zhenzhu’s cleverness to guess in an instant what’s going on, as she drew quite distinct features, like the dense black on Xue Zongsheng’s chest, which is not apparent at first, looking like a weakling outside, yet so lush and developed inside, and then there’s Zheng Honglian with a big red lotus flower on her head. As long as one isn’t a fool, they should understand.

After finishing these matters, the two were ready to return to Qingshan Village. However, there was a small situation.

They ran into Xu Ya, who looked hurried.

Jiang Mingyue immediately pulled Yan Jinzhi into the space, letting out spiritual power to follow Xu Ya, and saw her turning through several alleys, unbelievable! Like Zheng Honglian, she was heading to Pear Blossom Lane too.

Seeing her heading to Pear Blossom Lane, Jiang Mingyue lost interest, after all, who could stop someone from going back to their maternal home.

Only Jiang Mingyue didn’t know was that once she withdrew her spiritual power, Xu Ya went into the leftmost courtyard on Pear Blossom Lane, and inside the courtyard, a young man with a fair complexion was already waiting.

Speaking of a young man with a fair complexion, it was just the literal meaning, because the other party was too fair, fairer than the fairest woman, but aside from being fair, his appearance could only be considered average, though his body was quite burly, which was quite contradictory, yet these qualities on this person didn’t seem abrupt, quite harmonious.

And he stood under the ginkgo tree in the courtyard, and without turning his head, he spoke: "I knew you couldn’t wait, so? Did you miss me?"

If it were any other day, hearing such words, Xu Ya would have affectionately embraced the man from the back, sharing their yearning with whispered sweet nothings. But today was different.

She somewhat roughly turned the man’s body around.

"Cousin, I suspect Jiang Kangsheng found out about our relationship."

Upon hearing this, the burly young man furrowed his brows, "How could you be so careless? Did he find out about Zhenzhu’s background?"

Perhaps descending from a heavy filter, Xu Ya showed no reaction to this cousin’s attitude, as if she was accepting how that person treated her.

"I was very careful, but that man is too cunning, and I don’t know where I left a flaw exposed."

The burly young man captured useful information from her words: "Did he confront you about this?"

Xu Ya shook her head: "Not at all."

Burly young man: "So, you’re guessing out of thin air?"

"It’s not guessing out of thin air, it’s Jiang Kangsheng’s attitude towards me. Ever since Ming Yue returned to the countryside, he suddenly comes home much less often. Two months ago, he suddenly cut off the household expenditure, saying I also had a salary but had been bringing money home, now it’s my turn to bring it home. Cousin, tell me if a man suddenly counts money with his wife like this, did he discover something?"
