Chapter 268: Obviously Ironic
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
The sky suddenly changed in the afternoon. Dark clouds covered the sky, and it was so dark that it looked like it was about to collapse.
Ye Qingran wanted to take advantage of the heavy rain and chose to get into the car to head home early.
She walked out of the library and was on her way to the parking lot when she was suddenly stopped by someone.
The person was wearing a black suit and a pair of black-rimmed gla.s.ses. He was carrying a black briefcase in his hand. He smiled at her and introduced himself very respectfully, “Miss Ye, h.e.l.lo. My name is Yu Wenxiu and I’m Mr. Yan’s a.s.sistant.”
Ye Qingran:”….”
Mr. Yan?
Could it be Chu Yan’s sc.u.mbag father?
She asked and found out that he was indeed Chu Yan’s biological father. He had invited her to be a guest at the Yan family home.
Was she really a guest?
Could it be a trap?
No matter what it was, she was prepared to go and see what kind of future father-in-law he was. If he dared to bully Chu Yan, she would go and ask for some interest.
Ye Qingran was invited into a luxury car by a.s.sistant Yu.
Not long after she got into the car, the sky started to rain heavily. The dense water droplets. .h.i.t the gla.s.s and there was a pitter-patter sound.
Yu Wenxiu took a look from the rearview mirror and saw Ye Qingran sitting in the back.
The girl who was about eighteen or nineteen years old was cold and elegant. She had a calmness and coolness that did not match her age. No one dared to take her lightly.
As if sensing his gaze, Ye Qingran who was looking out the window turned her gaze to meet his.
Yu Wenxiu was shocked and quickly retracted his gaze.
The girl’s indifferent gaze made people feel fear for no reason.
This girl did not look like someone who could be easily controlled.
Would Mr. Yan really get what he want by inviting her to his house today?
The torrential rain that filled the sky did not stop.
The car stopped in front of the entrance of the Yan house. After Yu Wenxiu opened the car door, Ye Qingran unhurriedly got out of the car and walked in under his lead. Although the decorations and furnishings in the house were low-key, they were very n.o.ble and gorgeous.
A woman wearing a white dress stood in front of the transparent floor-to-ceiling gla.s.s window.
She was holding her phone and making a call.
When she saw Ye Qingran come in, she immediately turned her head to take a look. Then, she continued to talk on the phone. She did not look very well.
It was unknown if she was unhappy to see Ye Qingran come in, or if the content of the phone call had upset her.
Yu Wenxiu suddenly felt a little awkward.
He subconsciously took a look at Ye Qingran, but he found that there was no change in the girl’s expression.
Her gaze was not on Yan Ling who was on the phone. Her expression was arrogant as if she did not care about anything.
She glanced around the room and sat down on the sofa.
Moreover, it was right in the middle of the sofa. Her posture was casual and elegant.
It was as if she was the owner of this place.
When Yu Wenxiu saw it, he could not help but say in his heart, ‘it doesn’t matter if this girl really doesn’t care, or if she is faking it, she is really awesome!’!
Yan Ling, who was standing by the window, finished her phone call and turned around to face Ye Qingran.
A graceful and decent smile appeared on her face. She walked over and said, “I’m sorry, I just picked up a call.”
Her voice was gentle and amiable. In this storm, it was like listening to the warm spring sun.
Yu Wenxiu hurriedly introduced her to Ye Qingran solemnly, “Miss Ye, this is Miss Yan Ling.”
When Ye Qingran first came in, she probably guessed that she was Chu Yan’s half-sister.
“h.e.l.lo.”
She simply replied without any intention of standing up.
Yu Wenxiu stood at the side, at a loss.
This girl called Ye Qingran was really arrogant.
If it wasn’t for the cold and arrogant feeling she gave others, as if she was born with it, he would have thought that this girl was a scoundrel.
He thought that it was extremely natural that she was with Chu Yan.
Yan Ling did not care about Ye Qingran’s att.i.tude. She sat down opposite Ye Qingran and ordered someone to serve tea.
It was the orthodox English afternoon tea.
On the coffee table in front, there were three layers of dim sum. The first porcelain plate was filled with all kinds of exquisite dim sum that had just been baked.
She held the teacup and smiled at Ye Qingran. Then, she called out the name of the tea and asked Ye Qingran if she liked it.
The tea was of the highest quality and was a royal tribute.
Her posture was elegant, whispers were low, and manner was dignified. Every part was exquisite.
Ye Qingran looked at Yan Ling who was sitting straight across from her. She reached out to pick up the teacup and took a small sip.
The corners of her mouth curled up and she gave a meaningful smile.
Usually, no one seemed to notice the existence of cla.s.s, but cla.s.s existed by everyone’s side.
At this moment, Yan Ling looked generous and decent.
However, she was setting a trap for her to show her superiority. It was something that she could not reach no matter how hard she tried.
In the past, she often saw other madams and young ladies using this kind of trick to dig out the other party’s knowledge, family, and background.
A posture, a piece of jewelry, a sentence, or even a certain book that one had read.
Or they could dig a trap for others and use cla.s.s to make the other party feel inferior.
The seemingly simple and gentle interaction could really be said to be full of hidden murderous intent.
But she disdained to use it, and no one dared to use it on her, because she was Ye Qingran, the heir of the Ye family, and could look down on everyone from a high mountain.
Therefore, she really did not expect that it would happen to her one day.
Yan Ling chatted with Ye Qingran for a while, and her eyes kept on Ye Qingran, secretly sizing her up.
There was nothing wrong with the girl’s words and actions. She was perfect.
The girl sat there. Although her dress was very ordinary and her posture was very casual, the temperament of her body gave people an indescribable sense of beauty. Under the lantern overhead, she looked extremely n.o.ble.
No one would think that such a girl came from the small Jiang City.
“Regarding Aunt Wen, I’m sorry that I didn’t apologize to Miss Ye.” Yan Ling changed the topic and brought up housekeeper Wen.
“Who is that?” Ye Qingran did not like Yan Ling.
To be precise, she did not like anyone in the Yan family.
Although they were being polite to Chu Yan now.
But that was because Chu Yan was capable.
Otherwise, Chu Yan’s life in the Yan family would have been very difficult.
Yan Ling was puzzled. “You haven’t met Aunt Wen. When Aunt Wen left, why did she keep saying that she had offended Miss Ye and wanted to apologize to you?”
As she spoke, her tone suddenly became heavier. “But that doesn’t matter anymore. Merely the words and actions of a servant. If her background doesn’t match, staying here is bound to be a disaster.”
Ye Qingran smiled slightly and said lightly, “I’ve heard before that Miss Yan is a heroine among women. The Yan family was supported by you alone. Now that I’ve seen it, you really live up to your reputation.”
Yan Ling was stunned for a moment.
What support? If she could really support the Yan family, she would not be in a hurry to find Chu Yan.
This was obviously a mockery.
She stared at Ye Qingran for a while and suddenly smiled. “Miss Ye, not only do you have a good eye for men, you’re also very eloquent!”
Ye Qingran replied with a smile, “Thank you for the compliment.”
Yan Ling:”…”
What part of the compliment did she hear?
