Chapter 2686: Coming Clean
“Manman?” Qiu Honglei frowned. “I don’t think it’ll work. She's been good friends with Chu Chuyan since their time at Brightmoon City. There’s no way she would help us deal with Chu Chuyan’s master.”
“Just because they're good friends doesn’t mean they're on good terms. If they are that close, why would Manman get together with Ah Zu even though he’s married to Chuyan?” Yun Jianyue pointed out.
“There must be a reason behind that.” Qiu Honglei rolled her eyes. “Didn’t you get together with Ah Zu despite knowing my relationship with him too?”
Yun Jianyue was speechless. Gah, it feels like I've shot myself in the foot.
Qiu Honglei quickly grabbed Yun Jianyue’s arm and said, “Master, I’m kidding. Manman is your younger cousin, so she should be closer to us. Let’s do as you say and ask her for help.”
Yun Jianyue’s complexion finally improved. This lass would have never dared to joke with me like that in the past. It’s all Ah Zu’s fault!
“You ask her. I’m not close with Manman, and you've known her longer.”
Qiu Honglei was baffled. “She’s your younger cousin! How are the two of you not close?”
Yun Jianyue replied sheepishly, “I can’t shrug off the feeling that she’s a junior. It’s embarrassing to talk about such matters with her. It’s better for you to do it.”
Qiu Honglei belatedly remembered that others still didn’t know about her master’s relationship with Zu An, so she had no choice but to take on the job. I must have owed my master a lot in my previous life. Not only did I get my man taken by her, but I even have to cover her ass.
So, Qiu Honglei went out and visited Pei Mianman’s room.
Pei Mianman rushed over to support her. “Honglei, you should take it slow. You've only just recovered.”
