Chapter 754 - 752
This Master Guan is quite petty, he can’t forget to besmirch the young miss even after gaining advantages.
Yuan Shang looked up at the sky, pretending he did not hear that. Although Master Guan couldn’t often gain the upper hand in his struggles with the young miss, his physical strength and intelligence compensated for each other, so he wasn’t far behind.
As for someone like him, he was no match at all, barely managing to support the Construction Industry’s face. In a direct confrontation, whether it was combat power or intelligence, he was far behind; he didn’t have the courage to listen to either side badmouthing the other.
Jiang Yifan sipped his tea with delight. He certainly wouldn’t correct Guan He’s statement, partly because he was too lazy to argue with his senior brother, but more importantly because Ah Yan was his wife. Even if she were to be money-minded, that would only be seen as a skill. Besides, Ah Yan had plenty of talent, especially when facing his senior brother, she hardly suffered any losses.
Today, Zheng Pengfei finally saw Master Guan beaten at his own game. Ye Xinyan, as Jiang Yifan’s wife, the Duke’s granddaughter, and a woman who had caught the emperor’s attention, equipped with her sharp tongue, even if Master Guan’s combat power was high, Ye Xinyan had the means to compete with him.
When Yuan Shang left, Zheng Pengfei watched as Master Guan folded the Garden Layout Map and tucked it into his bosom, then asked Jiang Yifan, "Who did your wife apprentice to, to acquire such a knack for gardening?"
Even though Master Guan often clashed with Ye Xinyan, it was just that he couldn’t accept a woman like her being more arrogant than him. He did, however, respect her abilities.
Hearing Zheng Pengfei’s inquiry, he couldn’t help but roll his eyes, saying, "That wicked woman, she didn’t just learn how to build gardens, her skills are extensive. Otherwise, why do you think so many people can’t gain her favor?"
Zheng Pengfei turned and laughingly said, "Since she has the skills, why do you keep challenging her? It’s as if you’re deliberately seeking discomfort, unable to gain any advantage."
"I..." Master Guan blinked. Wasn’t he just too angry? Ye Xinyan, a married woman, did not behave like one; she always tried to gain the upper hand and did not understand the gentle virtue expected of her gender.
