Chapter 553 - 551 Speaking
Ye Xinyan was startled when she saw the stack of technical drawings. In truth, the little girl was quite capable; most of those drawings had been done by her, not to mention the discarded ones. It seemed that it was time to cultivate a few people who specialized in technology and archival management, or else the girl would exhaust herself to the point of spitting blood.
Ye Xinyan said coolly, "Take them to the backyard and draw in the wife of the heir apparent’s room. If the wife of the heir apparent feels sympathy for you and is willing to speak on your behalf, and you can guarantee that from now on you won’t be as idle as those gossipy women, then the matter of drawing can be put on hold."
"Ah?" Zhou Biyao, clutching the drawings, was stunned. This happiness had come too suddenly, hadn’t it? "Sister Qi, are you serious, you’re not kidding?"
Jiang Yifan entered and immediately saw Second Miss Zhou’s face full of grievance, guessing that Ah Yan must have bullied the young lady again. Hearing Zhou Biyao’s incredulous question, he couldn’t help but laugh and say, "I come with matters to discuss with Miss Ye, and I believe that what Miss Ye told Miss Zhou is true."
"Thank you, Lord Jiang. Thank you, Lord Jiang." Zhou Biyao immediately beamed with joy. She didn’t regret having just spoken well of Lord Jiang, who indeed was a modest gentleman. Zhou Biyao hastily gathered a bunch of stuff and, with a hasty courtesy, cheerfully scampered off, even happier than when she had no tasks assigned.
Ye Xinyan had clearly been the one to say that the drafting work could be delayed, but Zhou Biyao ended up thanking Jiang Yifan?
Ye Xinyan watched Zhou Biyao run off and then glanced at Jiang Yifan, once again feeling wronged for herself. He really knew how to play the good guy, and now Zhou Biyao was sure to believe that Jiang Yifan was a modest gentleman and generous, while she must be considered the petty villain.
Faced with Ye Xinyan’s gaze, Jiang Yifan asked with a smile, "Is Ah Yan feeling uncomfortable?"
