Chapter 1304: Chapter 1331: Vacation Island 6

Nianyang was helping in the clinic by simply guiding Ni Jia through some basic principles of Chinese medicine; she initially thought Ni Jia would try to make things difficult for her, but it’s been almost a month, and Ni Jia hasn’t reacted at all.

It really seemed like Ni Jia only wanted Nianyang’s help, with no other malicious intent.

However, Nianyang didn’t let her guard down; she felt that Ni Jia was probably using a roundabout tactic.

Ni Jia appeared calm on the surface but was actually anxious every day.

It’s been a month since she let Nianyang stay here, and with so many germs in the clinic, why hasn’t Nianyang gotten infected?

She couldn’t figure it out; was there something wrong?

Or was Nianyang’s constitution stronger than that of the average pregnant woman?

Ni Jia was anxious, and Kang Quan was even more anxious. He asked that night,

"Didn’t you say you’d trip up Li Tingyan’s wife to distract him? It’s been almost a month, and in another week, we’ll have to report company performance. My resources are still less than half of Li Tingyan’s!"

Ni Jia cursed him as useless in her heart but outwardly flattered him, "Am I not already thinking about that? But Chu Nianyang is a bit cunning; some things are not easy to do."

Kang Quan said in a deep voice, "Forget it, I’m not counting on you anymore. I’ve already found out; Li Tingyan’s wife is the City Lord’s daughter, much smarter than you. Otherwise, would you have been sent down to this lousy island?"

Ni Jia’s face wasn’t looking good; the news that Chu Nianyang was the City Lord’s daughter had spread over ten days ago.

She was quite shocked at that time, then realized why Nianyang had changed her surname—it turned out she had found family with a powerful background.

Now, the gap between her and Nianyang was almost as wide as the difference between clouds and mud.

Kang Quan said, "The City Lord of Pingjing City isn’t someone we can afford to provoke. Luckily, you haven’t done anything bad yet. Now that I think about it, for safety’s sake, I think you should keep your distance from the City Lord’s daughter. If you offend her, it’ll be my head on the block!"

Ni Jia held back her temper, "Then what about your resources? If you can’t match Li Tingyan’s, won’t you be kicked out?"

Kang Quan took a puff of his cigarette and said, "What else can I do? My family isn’t without money. At worst, I’ll have them send me resources to tide me over for a few months. We can deal with things as they come; there can’t be no way forward."

Ni Jia dared not contradict Kang Quan and could only agree submissively, but how could she be truly content to just let Chu Nianyang go like this? Even if Nianyang was really hard to deal with, so what? The higher the position, the more challenging it is.

Ni Jia deeply desired to pull Nianyang down from her pedestal, to see her suffer, to have her scorned by the world—that had already become Ni Jia’s obsession.

Li Tingyan went out to sea again half a month ago; it’s now the end of January, and there are ten days left until the Spring Festival. He needs to produce another batch of resources to deliver to the company before New Year’s Eve so he can peacefully spend a good New Year with his wife.

Nianyang had already completed the plan and was just waiting for Li Tingyan to return so she could tell him the good news.

As the Spring Festival approached, the family quarters became lively. No matter how hard the days were, the basic sense of ceremony for such a big holiday like New Year remained.

Nianyang could hear the laughter of children outside every day, as well as the chatter and laughter of the women gathering to make spring festival couplets. She stared at the vast whiteness of the distance and suddenly realized that two years had passed just like that.

She remembered last year’s Spring Festival; she spent it at Li Tingyan’s family area in Pingjing. It was wonderful to be together year after year.
