I became the Counterpart of the Winner in a Period Novel-Chapter 391 - 333: Unexpectedly, the Groom Is Him

Jiang Mingyue searched her mind for suitable young men.

Gu Xiaodong, he’s not from Nanxi City and doesn’t have a job, excluded!

An Jian fits all the criteria perfectly, except he’s hard to manipulate and naturally rejects women trying to get close to him, so it’s unlikely to be him.

The only one left is the newly moved-in Ning Yan.

But is that possible?

Even though Ning Yan is just a supporting male character in the book, his role is to passionately and unwaveringly support the female lead!

"It’s the family who just moved in, Aunt Yang’s son, named Ning Yan, he’s quite talented, Han Shu really has an eye for people," said someone in the know.

Mrs. Jiang also realized it, feeling quite unbelievable, she’s more aware than anyone of Ning Yan and Jiang Zhenzhu’s childhood friendship. She was surprised when she first heard that Jiang Zhenzhu’s marriage partner wasn’t Ning Yan, and later she heard Ning Yan was still clingy with Jiang Zhenzhu, which made her view the two unfavorably. If they like each other, they should just get married instead of stirring up trouble every day. Naturally, she viewed all these happenings from a bystander’s perspective.

However, regardless of how she felt about Ning Yan’s obsequious behavior, his affection for Jiang Zhenzhu was indeed unwavering, and now...

Mrs. Jiang’s shock only lasted a moment before she thought of a new question, but as she was about to ask, someone beat her to it.

"How did Han Shu manage to win Ning Yan over, tell us?" 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖

Jiang Mingyue saw it was the aunt from the street next door, tsk! You could tell she was drawn by the scent of gossip.

Someone in the know: "Of course I know, Han Shu was daring enough, it seems she gave Ning Yan some wine, but it’s said there was something added to it." She had a look of ’you get what I mean?’

Jiang Mingyue then drove her spiritual power to that large courtyard, where Zhou Lanfen had moved out, the house was immediately occupied, and the movers were Ning Yan, Yang Cui, and Han Shu.

Ning Yan’s mother didn’t seem dissatisfied with Han Shu, on the contrary, she was very satisfied, smiling like a flower at her daughter-in-law.

"Han Shu! You’ve already registered your marriage with Ning Yan, you are now the daughter-in-law of the Ning Family, you two should work together, understand? No matter what rumors you hear outside or who comes gossiping, you should discuss any problems directly with Ning Yan or me, your mother-in-law. Don’t believe what others say."

"Got it, Mom."

Han Shu did not expect such treatment, after all, she calculated against her son, now she felt reassured, more convinced that her decision was correct.

As for Yang Cui, though internally dissatisfied with Han Shu, the self-offering daughter-in-law, this daughter-in-law was the best tool. She had long harbored resentment towards Jiang Zhenzhu, clinging to her son before they returned to town, swearing she would never separate from Ning Yan, but immediately upon returning to town, she dumped Ning Yan, utterly reneging on her promise.

Getting married was one thing, but the woman shamelessly flirted with her son, Ning Yan was deeply affectionate, having no other girls around since childhood, hence he fell for Jiang Zhenzhu’s trickery.

She opposed it, quarreled with her son, causing a rift; she even approached Jiang Zhenzhu, begging her to kindly stay away from her son, but it seemed no one took her words seriously.

Her son was so promising; with good management, after graduating high school he was sure to have a bright future. Ning Yan’s teacher had always valued him, but because of Jiang Zhenzhu, that piece of trash, her son ended up at the farm twice, nearly costing his life, let alone his future.

She now had the desire to kill Jiang Zhenzhu—such a disaster.

Therefore, anyone who could separate her son from Jiang Zhenzhu, she liked.

Jiang Mingyue found it unexpected, Yang Cui wasn’t as foolish, but Ning Yan’s side might be difficult, habits ingrained in the bones are hard to change after all.

"Honey, take a break...I’ll do the moving." Han Shu knew she was in the wrong, seeing Ning Yan’s cold face yet unbothered, eagerly taking a towel to ingratiate herself, but in the next second, the towel was knocked away by Ning Yan.

"Han Shu, you calculated against me yesterday; if it weren’t for my mom’s life-threatening pressure, I wouldn’t have gone to register with you. Don’t treat me like a fool; you just want to use marriage to bind yourself, to avoid relocating with the family to the countryside, all these are your selfish acts. Given this, don’t blame me for being unkind. I already have someone I like, but because of you, I’ve wronged her. Registering with you, letting you stay in the city, is already my utmost tolerance; don’t demand more."

Han Shu froze, the rumors were true, Ning Yan indeed had someone he liked.

"Ning Yan, the person you like is called Jiang Zhenzhu, right? She’s a divorced woman, doesn’t that bother you at all?"

Suppressing anger for a long time, Ning Yan suddenly seemed to find an outlet.

"Crash!" The ceramic basin was thrown to the ground, breaking into several shards, rolling several times before settling.

"Han Shu, shut up! What right do you have to mention her? You’re not even worthy to carry her shoes. This is the first time, and I’ll forgive you, but if there’s a next time, it won’t be let off so easily."

Ning Yan swung the door open, only to find many onlookers gathered at the entrance.

Feeling increasingly uncomfortable inside.

Lowered his head and rushed out of the large courtyard, instinctively heading towards the direction where Zhenzhu lived, the small courtyard arranged by Cui Xiaoxiao. He increasingly couldn’t understand Zhenzhu, Cui Xiaoxiao clearly harbored ill intentions, yet she eagerly listened to her, not paying heed to his persuasion.

"Look, the groom Ning Yan is off to see his old flame again!" Some kid shouted, spreading loud enough for the whole street to hear clearly.

"Who is Jiang Zhenzhu? I don’t think I’ve heard of her."

"It’s right not to have heard, Jiang Zhenzhu is a second-time bride, always unclear with Ning Yan."

"No way? Just newlywed the second day, and he’s off running? That’s preposterous!"

Jiang Mingyue sensed something unusual, suspecting this leak was manipulated by the big cousin.

Within a short time, not only was Ning Yan’s love history dug out, but also the matter of his two visits to the farm was revealed, shocking not only the gossipers but also Ning Yan’s new bride, who never expected Ning Yan had such an unsavory past, with such records even finding a proper job in the future, their children’s prospects would be impacted.

At this moment, Han Shu regretted immensely, but there’s no turning back now, they’ve already hastily registered their marriage.

Jiang Mingyue initially thought she could just quietly watch the drama unfold, but unexpectedly after a few days of work, having dealt with the new case and returning home, she was stopped by Han Shu in the street.

"Is there something you need?" Honestly, she didn’t like people being so impolite, thus her tone wasn’t pleasant.

Facing her, Han Shu twisted the hem of her clothes, eyes brimming with tears, like a little flower bullied by someone.

Jiang Mingyue wanted to frown more, she disliked people crying to act weak.

"If you have something to say, then say it. If not, kindly make way." A good dog doesn’t obstruct the path!
