Chapter 624: Birds of a Feather

Jiang Peiqin straightened up: "She called me, saying she wanted to talk to me about something."

After a moment of silence, she continued, "Ling Keke is my partner Wenhao’s second granduncle’s cousin. I had gone out with Wenhao and them before, and she tagged along.

She came over today, indeed wanting me to help her."

But when it came to asking for help, her expression was quite unpleasant.

Xinyan observed her look: "What, is it hard to say out loud?"

Suddenly, she thought of something: "Don’t tell me she wants you to help deal with my senior sister?"

Jiang Peiqin waved her hand: "No, she wanted my cousin to help her deal with the Meng Family. I didn’t know before that Meng Yifei was your senior sister’s ex-husband.

I knew Meng Yifei was a married man, and Ling Keke said that Meng Yifei bullied her. She wanted me to help her out of Wenhao’s sake."

Previously, she hadn’t thought much of it, believing that Ling Keke didn’t want the Ling Family to know and didn’t want the Meng Family to realize it was the Ling Family’s doing, so she came to her.

Looking back now, this Ling Keke really can’t be trusted, treating her like a fool. No wonder Wenhao had said before that they couldn’t get along with that branch; turns out, they were all people with no bottom line."

Jiang Peiqin sighed: "It’s true that dragons birth dragons, and phoenixes birth phoenixes."

Xinyan could tell that Jiang Peiqin was speaking with implications, so she waited for her to continue.

Jiang Peiqin glanced around and then whispered: "I heard from Wenhao before that his grandfather and second granduncle are cousins. Besides the second granduncle, there’s also a third granduncle who’s also his grandfather’s cousin.

However, before things got chaotic, that one left the country with his family. For some reason, he left behind a concubine and a illegitimate son.

Originally, the mother and son were living in the Capital. Even though the head of the family left, they could still get by. But during tense times, Ling Keke’s grandfather reported them.

If it weren’t for Wenhao’s grandfather stepping in, the mother and son might not have survived.

Wenhao told me that at the time, Ling Keke’s grandfather thought that the concubine from the third house must have had a lot of good stuff, so he resorted to such underhanded tricks to seize them.

This Ling Keke probably inherited her grandfather’s traits, behaving similarly, just as despicable."

Xinyan suddenly thought of Ling Tianze. She also realized that the concubine Jiang Peiqin was talking about was probably Ling Tianze’s grandmother.

Thinking of Meng Yifei, Xinyan said, "Actually, I’d quite like to see Meng Yifei being dealt with. Why don’t you just pretend you don’t know and go along with it?"

Jiang Peiqin glared at Xinyan: "I wouldn’t ask my cousin to help her. I should also warn my family Wenhao that we really can’t deal with people from the second house. What a mess."

Xinyan looked at Jiang Peiqin: "Alright, I was just joking with you."

But in her mind, she wasn’t joking at all, thinking she might have to find an opportunity herself to handle the Meng Family. Although her senior sister had escaped that hell, how could they be so easily forgiven?

She just didn’t expect that this opportunity would come so soon.

After school at noon, she received a call from her senior sister, who said she’d come over after work. First, the fourth senior brother had brought gifts for her, the little junior sister he hadn’t met yet.

Second, she had prepared some medical books as per their master’s request. Coincidentally, she had errands at the school in the afternoon, so she would bring them over, saving her the trip back to the master’s place and back again.
