After Rebirth, I Married the Archenemy of My Ex-Husband

Chapter 498

A family sat around a big table eating lunch.

Ye Jingjing sat next to Ye Jinghuai, looking afraid of strangers with a timid and delicate appearance.

An Nuan was used to it.

She knew clearly anyway that Ye Jinghuai was not particularly friendly towards Ye Jingjing either.

However, An Xiao seemed a little unhappy.

But after a second thought, Ye Jingjing was Ye Jinghuai's sister, and someone as unsociable as Ye Jinghuai tolerated her this much, it appeared the siblings had a close relationship. From her observation, Ye Jingjing and An Nuan did not seem to get along well either, otherwise Ye Jingjing would not sit next to Ye Jinghuai and would sit next to An Nuan directly instead.

As such.

As long as she curried favor with Ye Jingjing, perhaps it would help her gain Ye Jinghuai's favor.

Upon this thought.

An Xiao hurriedly took a piece of meat and put it in Ye Jingjing’s bowl, and said very enthusiastically, “Jingjing, this is your first time at our home, eat more and don’t be shy.”

Ye Jingjing looked up at An Xiao, nodded, and very politely said, “Thank you.”

Then she lowered her head, preparing to eat the meat.

Just as she was about to eat.

Suddenly her face changed.

An Xiao was puzzled, “What’s wrong?”

“What meat is this?” Ye Jingjing asked.

“Rabbit meat. Second uncle's chef makes delicious spicy rabbit, there is also rabbit head over there.” An Xiao looked ingratiating.

“Rabbit?” Ye Jingjing’s whole face turned pale, “How can you eat such an adorable animal like a rabbit?!”

An Xiao looked dumbfounded.

An Nuan laughed from the side.

Ye Jingjing’s cunning far surpassed hers.

“I can’t eat anymore, brother, I don’t want to eat anymore.” Ye Jingjing looked extremely aggrieved as she pulled Ye Jinghuai’s hand, “I want to leave the table.”

Ye Jinghuai looked a little awkward.

She glanced at An Yanyuan and Li YaJu.

Li YaJu quickly said, “Oh my, I didn’t know Jingjing doesn’t eat rabbit meat. Let’s do this, I’ll have the kitchen make another portion for Jingjing, what do you like to eat, Jingjing?”

“She can eat a little boiled beef with clear broth, mostly vegetarian.” Ye Jinghuai said.

At this moment he didn’t want to cause any more trouble because of Ye Jingjing.

“Alright alright, I’ll tell the kitchen to make boiled beef with vegetables right away. No need to be shy.”

“Thank you, mother.”

“We’re all family, no need to be so polite.” Saying so, Li YaJu left the dinner table.

Ye Jingjing also pulled Ye Jinghuai away from the table.

An Nuan watched their backs as they left, then looked back at An Xiao.

At that moment An Xiao was truly a little embarrassed.

Her flattery directly hit the horse’s hoof.

She lowered her head silently, trying to conceal her embarrassment.

After a while, the kitchen made a portion of boiled vegetables and beef for Ye Jingjing.

Just as they were about to carry it over to Ye Jingjing who was in the backyard garden, An Xiao quickly said, “Let me do it. I made Jingjing uncomfortable earlier, so I should personally apologize.”

The chef naturally handed the bowl of clear broth beef to An Xiao.

An Nuan held in her laughter.

Waiting to see the drama unfold.

An Xiao carefully carried the scalding hot bowl of beef broth to the backyard garden to find Ye Jingjing.

Ye Jinghuai and Ye Jingjing were sitting in a pavilion in the backyard garden, with a small tea table in front. An Xiao set down the bowl of beef broth on the tea table, and said to Ye Jingjing, “Jingjing, your beef broth is ready.”

Ye Jingjing appeared somewhat shy, “I’m so sorry to have caused trouble.”

“No trouble at all, I just didn’t know what you like. Hurry and eat while it's hot.” An Xiao beckoned.

Ye Jingjing nodded.

At that moment, very considerately, she said, “Brother, you can go back to eat. No need to accompany me.”

Ye Jinghuai put down his legs, got up and went back inside the house.

An Xiao stared blankly as Ye Jinghuai left, not coming back to her senses for a long time.

Ye Jingjing had actually noticed long ago An Xiao’s ulterior motives for Ye Jinghuai. She was sensitive by nature, especially towards women interested in her brother. She could see through them at a glance. The green tea bitch in front of her was obviously trying to steal her brother. An Nuan was enough, she absolutely would not allow another one.

So everything she did today was deliberate.

She smiled gently and said, “You’re so different from An Nuan.”

“Hm?” An Xiao snapped back to attention.

“An Nuan hasn’t been nearly as nice to me as you.” Ye Jingjing said somewhat sadly.

An Xiao feigned surprise, “How could that be? My cousin is a very nice person. She and your brother get along well too.”

“But she really isn’t nice to me. She clearly knows I feel nauseous seeing rabbit meat, yet didn’t tell you. She did it on purpose wanting me to embarrass myself.”

“Could there be some misunderstanding with her?”

“Absolutely not.” Ye Jingjing asserted, “I can sense whether someone treats me well or not.”

An Xiao displayed an expression that she didn’t know how else to advise, clearly agreeing that An Nuan was not good.

“Aren't you going back to eat?” Ye Jingjing asked.

“I mostly finished eating, I’ll keep you company. Must be boring eating alone.” An Xiao was clearly still trying to get on her good side.

Ye Jingjing said, “Then do you want to share some?”

“Sure, let me grab a bowl and chopsticks.” An Xiao immediately got up since only one set was brought out.

Ye Jingjing watched An Xiao’s behavior.

Seemingly inadvertently, she sharply knocked over the soup.

An Xiao was frightened and rushed to grab Ye Jingjing’s hand.

The back of Ye Jingjing’s hand was burned by the soup.

“How is it?” An Xiao anxiously asked.

Ye Jingjing suddenly screamed loudly,

“Ah...”

This scream startled everyone in the house.

An Nuan slowly walked out.

But Wen QingCui, An Yanyuan and Li YaJu, a few elders, walked the fastest.

Ye Jinghuai also neither hurried nor slowed.

“What what happened?” Li YaJu rushed up anxiously.

Seeing a red mark on the back of Ye Jingjing’s hand, she couldn't help feeling somewhat panicked.

This young girl got injured the first time she came to their home, it would be hard to explain to her side of the family!

“It hurts...” Ye Jingjing said piteously with tears.

“I just set down the bowl of beef broth for Jingjing to eat, then her hand carelessly knocked over the soup...” An Xiao had not yet finished her explanation.

Ye Jingjing shouted at An Xiao, “I know you don’t like me, but why would you deliberately pour the beef broth onto my hand?!”

An Xiao’s eyes bugged out.

She completely could not believe what she just heard.

Why would Ye Jingjing suddenly falsely accuse her?!

"Just now, Xiao Xiao walked out and said, said that I was pretending, that I deliberately refused to eat the rabbit meat and deliberately made myself look soft and pitiful." Ye Jingjing looked greatly wronged as she said, "But my brother has always known that I don't eat rabbit. I've had heart problems since I was young, I've never interacted with outsiders much, I really don't know how to interact with others. If I did anything inappropriate, auntie and uncles, please don't blame me..."

Saying so, her tears flowed down even harder.

Her appearance even made An Nuan shudder.

She glanced back at Ye Jinghuai to gesture at him that his sister was quite the bitch!
