9 An Obstacle Was Cleared

Tang Xinyue quickly turned her head away. Right now, her most important mission was to change everyone's opinion of Fan Lingxin compared to her past life.

Her being in possession of Tang Xinyue's body was already a big change. However, it was not only Tang Xinyue who schemed against her in her previous life.

She nibbled on her fingernails as she started thinking of possible strategies to avoid their scheming.

It was going to be hard, since unlike Tang Xinyue, they didn't reveal what they did to her.

Fan Lingxin chuckled while talking to Grandma, oblivious to what just happened.

Meanwhile, Mrs. Tang was panicking. Everyone had a slightly lower opinion of her now. She needed to fix this.

Ah, that's it!

She beckoned for her daughter to come.

"What is it, mother?" Tang Xinyue's acting was so realistic, even Mrs. Tang couldn't tell.

"Why did you sabotage my plans just now? I was trying to help you!" Mrs. Tang scolded her daughter.

"Ah, sorry, mother..." Tang Xinyue pursed her lips.

Seeing her daughter pout, Mrs. Tang stopped pursuing the matter. "Get the gift for Qin Huiying out."

Tang Xinyue widened her eyes and covered her mouth. "But, mother... I've forgotten where I put it."

"What?!" Her daughter's simple response infuriated Mrs. Tang. She never thought that this daughter of hers would lose such an expensive item!

As she thought about it, she let out a sigh. It was a relief that Fan Lingxin was actually the one to pay for that. Otherwise, it would have cost a fortune.

At this time, all of the guests settled, sat down, and talked.

"You think of something to give to her, I will come back and check." Mrs. Tang whispered to her daughter before she joined the rest of the ladies.

Seeing her mother's back, Tang Xinyue sneered. Don't worry, I've got the perfect gift.

Fan Lingxin finished talking to her grandma and was to sit as well. She saw a spot beside Qin Huiying and headed over.

Qin Huiying glanced at Fan Lingxin who was getting closer. She shot a gaze of disgust towards the approaching woman.

As she walked closer, a hand grabbed Fan Lingxin's arm. It was Tang Xinyue.

"Lingxin, you must know your place; sit over there first." Tang Xinyue whispered into Fan Lingxin's ear.

She did the same in her past life, but she was pushed away by her own mother-in-law, causing the guests to look at her with both disdain and pity in their eyes.

"But..."

"Shhh, listen to me, okay?" Tang Xinyue knew that her past self had some sort of dependency on her. She used this to her advantage.

"...Okay."

The two walked over to the chair on the side opposite of Qin Huiying.

Qin Huiying looked at the pair and was slightly disappointed, but was also relieved. She wanted Tang Xinyue to sit next to her, but not with Fan Lingxin.

Tang Xinyue wiped the sweat off her forehead. An obstacle was cleared today!
