Scheme of the Official Descendant

Chapter 45: You don’t remember me

Ren Yaoqi was a bit baffled.

Ren Yiyin shook his head and patted Ren Yijun’s shoulder, his tone brought some mild reproach: “Third Brother, we are talking about Yunqian’s chess skills, why are you bringing up Fifth Sister? Didn’t you also play against Yunqian before?”

Ren Yijun frowned, turned sideways to avoid Ren Yiyin’s hand, didn’t know what came to his mind and blushed a bit unhappily, gave Han Yunqian a sidelong glance and let out a light hum before turning his head to the side, and didn’t answer Ren Yiyin’s words.

Ren Yiyin is a little helpless, can only apologetically smiled at Han Yunqian.

Han Yunqian’s quiet dark eyes retracted from Ren Yaoqi, smiled and nodded to Ren Yiyin, thoughtfully asked Ren Yijun, “Brother Yijun, is there something Yunqian did wrong that accidentally offended you? Yunqian is willing to apologize for his inappropriate words and actions.”

These days, he has naturally noticed that Ren Yijun’s attitude towards him is quite different from before. He has long heard that the Third Young Master of the Ren family has a weird temper, so he didn’t pay much attention to it before. Looking at it now, it seems that Ren Yijun has a grudge against him because of something.

Before Ren Yijun could speak, Ren Yiyan said for him: “Yunqian, don’t get me wrong, my Third Brother has this temper, but he doesn’t mean anything malicious, so please don’t mind it.”

Ren Yijun glanced at Ren Yiyan. Although he was a little unhappy, he didn’t say anything else.

Qiu Yun rubbed his chin and smiled at Ren Yijun: “What did the Third Cousin mean before, that the Fifth Cousin is better at chess than Yun Qian?”

Ren Yiyin looked at Ren Yijun suspiciously, and seeing that he still looked like he was indifferent, he could only continue to answer for him, “Third Brother has been playing against Fifth Sister a lot lately, so he must have suffered several defeats. He is just like this, he will be happy when he wins. The Fifth Sister’s qin, chess, calligraphy and painting was taught by my Third Uncle himself, a lot more than the average boudoir woman. But to say that she is better at chess than Yunqian is just a bias on the part of Yijun, the older brother, in favor of his own sister.”

Although Ren Yiyan’s words sound reasonable, anyone who knows Ren Yijun’s temperament knows that he is not the kind of person who knows that brothers and sisters are supposed to be respectful and harmonious. If he compliment a person, it must be that person has some aspects that he cares about that manage to beat him.

Even Han Yunqian, who had only had contact with Ren Yijun a few times, looked at Ren Yaoqi thoughtfully.

Qiu Yun looked at Yun Wenfang, clapped his hands suddenly and smiled and said, “Then I have to ask my Fifth Cousin why she only played chess with my Third Cousin. I didn’t know that she was not only good at drawing. Zishu, you and I will go together.”

With that, Qiu Yun took Yun Wenfang and walked towards Ren Yaoqi with a big step, under the astonished eyes of everyone.

Ren Yiyan wanted to say something, but suddenly remembered what his father had said about the marriage between the Yun family and the Qiu family and the Ren family. He looked at the backs of Qiu Yun and Yun Wenfang, and finally swallowed the words to stop him.

Han Yunqian also took a look at Qiu Yun and Yun Wenfang. Although he stayed where he was, he thought about the change in Ren Yijun and Ren Shimin’s attitude towards him.

Over there, Ren Yaoqi frowned slightly as she watched Qiu Yun and Yun Wenfang walking towards her.

Although she was the only one sitting in the corner on the side of the female relatives, there were still many women and maids waiting in the warm shed. There was a large audience, and most of the surroundings were close relatives and friends, so no one felt that Qiu Yun and Yun Wenfang’s behavior was disrespectful.

“Fifth Cousin.” Qiu Yun called out with a friendly smile.

Ren Yaoqi got up and bowed, and called out, “Cousin, Young Master Yun.”

Qiu Yun and Ren Yaoqi exchanged pleasantries for a while, but they didn’t mention the chess game again.

After that, he took a few steps and went to the fruit plate on the side to pick up the snacks and fruits. The two maids behind Ren Yaoqi were instructed to help him make tea and get high on pine nuts.

The distance he chose is very good. If they speak in a low voice here, people can’t hear clearly, and it can make others think that they have a clear understanding of the situation here.

Ren Yaoqi was a little alert when he ordered her maid to leave, and felt that this situation seemed familiar. But outsiders can’t see what’s wrong here, and she can’t react too much.

Looking at Yun Wenfang who had been standing in front of her without speaking, Ren Yaoqi was thinking of calling over the two maids serving tea who were standing a little further away, but Yun Wenfang spoke: “Thank you for the bet.”

These words sounded very peaceful, without the tension they had when they were together in the previous life, it seemed like a good start, so Ren Yaoqi smiled and nodded: “I haven’t congratulated Young Master Yun for winning the first prize in the previous competition.”

“Are you afraid of me?”

Yun Wenfang suddenly asked in a low voice with some uncertainty, a question that was eight thousand miles away from the topic that the two of them had talked about before.

Ren Yaoqi was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and shook her head in denial: “How could it be?”

Yun Wenfang frowned slightly, his starry eyes fixed on Ren Yaoqi seriously and confused.

Ren Yaoqi didn’t like his gaze, although there was no malice in it, it could even be said to be a little naive.

But there is always an inherent aggression. It may be because he is still young and his appearance is extremely handsome, so this feeling is not very obvious to people.

Ren Yaoqi felt a little nervous.

“I said I wanted to see your paintings, did you draw them for me?” Yun Wenfang said confidently.

Ren Yaoqi held her temper and looked up at Yun Wenfang and said calmly and seriously, “Young Master Yun, although you and I are family friends, there is a difference between men and women after all. You should know how damaging it is to a woman’s character to have a private relationship. Therefore, please forgive me for not being able to give you what I have for no reason.”

Ren Yaoqi reasoned with him. In the last life, she was also responsible for the trouble they caused. In this life, she didn’t want to have an enmity with a thirteen or fourteen-year-old child. She tried to treat him as a junior, so that she could be more tolerant of him. .

“Is that why you didn’t talk to me?” To Ren Yaoqi’s surprise, Yun Wenfang was not angry at her refusal, but showed a smile instead.

Ren Yaoqi felt that this person’s mind was really difficult to figure out, and was about to nod and answer “yes”. The smile on Yun Wenfang’s face faded again.

“You really don’t remember me”

Although he muttered this sentence to himself, Ren Yaoqi understood it.

She couldn’t help but her expression changed, almost thinking that Yun Wenfang had experienced the same experience as her in the previous life. But after thinking about it carefully, she felt wrong, so she asked, “What does Young Master Yun mean by this? We’ve… met before?”

She always thought that it was the first time they met under the corridor of Ren’s mansion. Ren Yaoqi couldn’t help recalling the memories of her previous life carefully, but after a long time, she really couldn’t remember it.

Looking at her confused expression, Yun Wenfang pursed his lips, seemingly dissatisfied.

When he was about to speak, the woman who had accompanied Ren Yaohua to change clothes rushed in, looked around and immediately walked towards Ren Yaoqi.

When she was close to Ren Yaoqi, she was stopped by Qiu Yun, who had been concentrating on her tea, “Who is this woman, rampant and doesn’t know the rules?”

Ren Yaoqi recognized her as a maid that Zhou Nanny could use, so she glanced at Qiu Yun with a smile: “This is a maid who serve my mother, she must be anxious to see that there is no one around me, so she ran here in a hurry. Please don’t blame her, cousin.”

These words made the two maidservants standing beside Qiu Yun who were eager to serve her blushed, and slowly moved over with their heads lowered.

Qiu Yun raised her eyebrows slightly, coughed lightly and then lowered her head without changing her face and took a sip of tea, but also stopped picking on that maid’s rules.

Ren Yaoqi got up and said to the maids: “How come Fifth Aunt, sister-in-law and other sisters haven’t come back yet? Lets go out with me to see.” She nodded to Yun Wenfang with a smile, and then walked outside.
