Chapter 188: Jian Dear, Slut Dear

Jian Jie stood up to leave.

Ming Jinhua reached out in an attempt to make her stay, but Jian Jie flatly refused the older lady.

Ye Wentian said, “Let us walk you out!”

Without answering, Jian Jie continued walking towards the door. Her car was parked right outside the house.

None of them spoke as they walked.

Ming Jinhua and Ye Wentian felt bad for Jian Jie, which was why they let Jian Jie be even when she was being rather rude.

The more Jian Jie thought about it, the more upset she got. Even Ye Wentian and Ming Jinhua could accept that woman. Is it because of the baby?

Fine! I’ll not allow Mo Suqing to have her baby. I’ll see if they’re still willing to accept her that way.

After a short walk, the three of them finally reached the parked car.

Jian Jie lowered the car windows after getting into the vehicle.

She forced herself to smile at the old couple.

“Uncle and Auntie, thanks for walking me out. I’m leaving now!”

Ye Wentian looked at her with a fatherly gaze.

“Jian dear, don’t be too upset over this. I’ll talk to Jue when he comes home. My child, it’s better to let go of certain things, you’ll gain a sense of freedom...”

Jian Jie answered, “Mm, Uncle, I know!”

She then left right after.

Shaking his head, Ye Wentian walked back into the house with Ming Jinhua.

Not far from the Ye family home, Luo Qiqi and Xia Zi were sitting in a car and observing everything.

Confusion appeared on Luo Qiqi’s face.

“What’s wrong?” Xia Zi’s clear voice rang out.

Luo Qiqi shook her head. “Nothing, I just find this place… I don’t know why but I find it quite familiar. I’m probably just thinking too much!”

Luo Qiqi’s brows creased, feeling rather confused.

“Oh! Right!” Luo Qiqi grabbed Xia Zi’s arm. “A’zi, did you see what they said earlier?”

Xia Zi frowned. “Jian Jie was in the car, so I couldn’t see it clearly. As for the old couple, I think they said something along the lines of - Jian dear, it’s better to let go of certain things!”

“Pft!” Luo Qiqi laughed when she heard this.

“Jian dear, slut dear! Which do you think it is?” ‘Jian’ from Jian Jie and the word for slut (it can also mean cheap/lowly depending on context of use) is pronounced the same way, except they have different tones. One would not be able to tell merely from lip-reading which word was used, unless the context is apparent - as is the case in this chapter.
