Earlier in the afternoon Yu Jian had received information from Yu Yue"s college Dean that she had been selected for a foreign student exchange programme. He had informed him of this news on a personal level since it still hadn"t been made known to the other students and faculty in the college. Therefore, coming to a swift decision he told the other two that if anybody asks why they had rushed upto the room they could just use this news to disperse any unwanted attention and questions.

Sometimes, when you antic.i.p.ate an event so much, it fails to meet your expectations. Before Yu Yan could even reach the first floor she saw her father coming downstairs. He had a serene expression on his face as if nothing untoward had happened to one of his daughters. Looking at his face and steady, unhurried gait she couldn"t understand the situation. She went upto him with a smile thinking to probe him about the situation but before she could even open her mouth he told her, "Yanyan there is a good news. Your sister just recieved the information that she had been selected by her college for a foreign student exchange programme. She ll be going oversees. Come, congratulate her."

Listening to his words her smile became stiff and then she saw Yu Yue standing outside one of the room looking for the whole world as if she was so giddy with the news that she didn"t know what to do. Yu Yan was so angry that she wanted to smash something to vent her anger, disappointment and fury but more than that what really made her hate the situation was that she still didn"t know whether her plan had come to fruition or not and if they were trying to cover it up.

Anyways the three of them went downstairs and Yu Jian announced the news to everyone present. It was as if he couldn"t contain his smile and pride. After hearing the wonderful news everyone started congratulating the Eldest Miss of the Yu family. That anybody barely acknowledged her presence after the announcement made her feel even more resentful as well as awkward. All eyes should be on her, it was her day but this unexpected news had derailed all her plans. What made her feel even more unsettled was that she couldn"t find Yuanzhi anywhere and she was somewhat afraid to contact him on his phone.

She decided that if everything had gone bust, she had to cut her losses short at any cost and would therefore ruthlessly abandon him. With the means these rich people had if he opened his mouth to divulge anything else, she would completely deny everything. Afterall, n.o.body had any proof.

Somehow the party came to an end and the guests started dispersing one after another. Afterwards her father asked her to go for rest in her room and his expression showed that this was not a suggestion but an order and if it wasn"t followed what would come after that would be something she couldn"t handle. In the past few months she had never seen such a scary expression on his face and it shook her heart. Nodding to show her compliance to the order she went up to her room.


Su Li had just changed her clothes and was trying to rest her feet when she was called into the study. She knew that the system won"t be able to supress the effects of the aphrodisiac for much longer and the effects would be even more potent due to being suppressed beforehand. It would take a toll on her health therefore, she decided to not disclose anything significant of what had happened or any of the behind the scenes machinations to him. Also, out of three chances she had decided to give to her younger sister, this was one strike against her, She wanted to settle the accounts for this incident with her on a personal level and would not involve anyone else. With her mind made up she went to the study. She saw the guy who had busted open the door standing infront of her father. From the looks of it he must have already questioned that guy. Anyways, it was none of her business as that guy was just a p.a.w.n for Yu Yan so she would leave him to Yu Jian to settle.

Yu Jian questioned her about her health, her well - being and then after beating around the bush for a few minutes, he asked her to explain what had happened earlier. She simply informed him that she was feeling a bit dizzy during the party so she went to get refreshed and after she left the restroom, she saw a guy standing there and he asked her if she was okay and if she needed some help. Since he looked like a gentleman she didn"t give it much thought and accepted his help. When they reached the room, she dodged his dishonest hands. By that time she was already feeling much better but knowing his intentions she felt furious and in a rash decision she dislocated offending wrist. She also expressed that she wasn"t sorry for her decision since anyone who tries to harm her would have to face the consequences. Then she told him that she realised that this could have been planned and executed by some of their business rivals or by someone with nefarious schemes but she herself didn"t want to know the ins and outs of the situation since she wasn"t interested in such dispecable schemes and would leave everything else to him. Afterwards, sighting that today had been rough on her she asked to be excused from further questions and rushed back to her room .

Yu Jian listened as his daughter explained everything with a stoic look as if what she was talking about hadn"t happened to her but to someone unrelated to them. His heart felt uncomfortable. He didn"t even know what words to say to his daughter. She had been without a female figure in her life and he had always tried his best to give her all the love and care of both the parents. It was really tragic that both set of her grandparents had already left the mortal world before her birth so all in all for all these years it was just him and his daughter. He had never even thought in his dreams that she would be hurt to such an extent. Though she hadn"t shown it on her face but in her heart she must be feeling thousands of emotions and no one to discuss them with. He wanted to find the master mind of this incident as soon as possible so as vent on both of their behalf.

Earlier when he had asked Zixi to look into that person"s background, he was informed that the said person was a friend of his younger daughter and he had come for her birthday celebrations from the other city. It was only then he remembered that there had been some sort of introduction earlier in the evening but he hadn"t paid much attention to it. Now he was regretting his negligence. Learning about his background he had a moment"s thought if Yu Yan was the preparator behind what had happened today but then he didn"t believe it in his own heart. Although he knew that she was street smart, she wouldn"t have the guts to do something like this under his nose. When he had decided to bring her back to the residence he had resolved to himself that he would close one eye to any of her petty schemes since she would definitely have some negative thoughts regarding a paternal sister who had the entire world handed to her on a silver platter. Also, outside it was a dog eat dog world so she might try to influence things in her way but to give her the best food, shelter, clothes, let her study in a university and later on prepare a generous amount of dowry was the extent of his responsibility towards her. If she learned bad things ohtside and tried to reach for things that she had no right to then he would make alternate plans accordingly. But he didn"t feel she was involved in this matter. It might be some rival or such trying to raise a storm in his family and take advantage of it.

Zixi had questioned the other person and he had broken under some mild torture and confessed that it was his own thought. He wanted to attract such a pretty princess but she hadn"t paid him much attention during the party. This had infuriated him and he had done such an unthinkable thing in a spur of the moment. Paying attention to the recorded words he couldn"t find any loopholes in his words but he wasn"t too sure if everything said was the complete truth or not. Moreover, he was more interested in the person who didn"t put him in his eyes and thought of maligning his daughter. After considering all aspects of the situation carefully he simply ordered to break all ten fingers of that person and to throw him out in the wilds. Whether he lived or died would depend on that person"s luck. Since he had dared to covet his daughter and was unscrupulous, he had to deal with the aftermath. If he died it was well and good but if he lived, it would depend whether he would ever be able to use his hands again or not.

Ruthless and tyrannical were the options he would go by if anyone dared to harm his precious princess.
