CHAPTER 149: CHAPTER 149: I AM THE MISTRESS OF THIS HOUSE!

Lou Xinyu was originally very angry, but now hearing Ran Xiangsi ask if she was going too far caused her to burst out laughing.

"Ran Xiangsi, are you really that stupid, or just pretending to be smart? William and I have been childhood sweethearts. When we were young, he stayed at our house. How could someone like you understand our bond?"

As if mocking Ran Xiangsi, Lou Xinyu flaunted her deep-seated affection for Brother William from her childhood.

"And so what if you’re married? You don’t have kids yet, getting a divorce is easy. I believe Brother William will fall in love with me very soon!"

...She spoke with such confidence.

Ran Xiangsi had never thought being confident was such a terrifying thing, but Lou Xinyu had shown her otherwise.

"Your sense of morals is just... twisted..." Ran Xiangsi rubbed her temples, feeling all sorts of frustration.

Forget it. Staying here and wasting time with Lou Xinyu wouldn’t lead to any conclusion. She might as well leave her alone.

Walking back to Xiahou Xiuyun, Ran Xiangsi saw that she had already finished her water, so she asked, "Granny, have you remembered your relative’s contact information? Or should I have someone take you there?"

Xiahou Xiuyun’s mind quickly spun, searching for an appropriate excuse. "Almost... almost remembered. Are you the mistress of this house? What’s your name? Are you from A City?"

Unexpectedly, this old lady was quite inquisitive. Ran Xiangsi smiled and, glancing at Lou Xinyu in the distance, deliberately raised her voice, "Yes! I am the mistress of this house!"

After saying this, she turned to Xiahou Xiuyun in her normal voice, "My name is Ran Xiangsi. You can just call me Xiangsi."

"Oh, what a nice young lady..." Xiahou Xiuyun nodded, then pointed at Lou Xinyu, whispering, "Who is that woman? Is she trying to steal your husband?"

"More or less... yes." Ran Xiangsi nodded awkwardly, thinking how observant this old lady was...

Lou Xinyu, hearing this, felt indignant and rushed over to argue with Xiahou Xiuyun, "You old hag, what are you talking about? She’s the one who stole my Brother William!"

...Xiahou Xiuyun was momentarily stunned; it was the first time someone had cursed her like this...

That feeling was, kind of refreshing.

Ran Xiangsi was used to Lou Xinyu’s unreasonable behavior and arrogance, but spending the entire day bickering with the same person was really exhausting, "Your Brother William is at the company right now. If you really want to see him, you should go to the company instead..."

"You! When will Brother William come back?"

"How would I know? If he’s working late or has a dinner meeting, he might not come back until midnight." Ran Xiangsi said casually, then pointed at Housekeeper Wu, "If you don’t believe me, you can ask the housekeeper."

Being called out, the housekeeper quickly stepped forward, "Yes, young master might not be back until very late tonight."

Upon hearing this, Lou Xinyu stomped her foot in frustration, "A bunch of idiots! Couldn’t you have told me earlier that Brother William would be back late? What a waste of time!"

With that, she turned on her heel and walked arrogantly towards the door.

She had already checked the house earlier and confirmed that Brother William was indeed not here.

Seeing her leave, Ran Xiangsi quickly instructed Housekeeper Wu, "Hurry and lock the door, make sure she doesn’t come back in!"
