Chapter 544: Been Thinking of Her a Lot
Translator: Tuiwen Editor: Tuiwen
She was just acting all high and mighty because of her family’s wealth, but she was nowhere near worthy to yield such power.
Once Yao Ranmarried into the Yang family…
Ha! Even Yan Weiwould have to be polite to her.
Yao Ran took comfort in the thought and eased her fists. Soon, another smile bloomed on her face. “You’re right,Weiwei, she has indeed done something wrong. Even so, I hope that you won’t go so far as to kill her. You can just lecture her and tell her not to be so stubborn.”
Yan Wei’s lips curled into a mocking smirk. “Got it.”
!!
Soon, the car ground to a stop outside the Yang family villa.
It was located in a high-end residential district in the suburbs. The security was tight, and guests needed verified permission in order to enter.
More people were arriving, while Yang Nianstood at the gates to greet them.
He now approached the car and greeted them as they came out.
“Sorry for making you wait,” Yan Weisaid.
“h.e.l.lo, Young Master Yang,”Yao Rangreeted shyly.
Yang Nian was still as gentle and pleasant as ever. “Let’s go,” he said with a smile. “I’ll escort you guys inside.”
Yan Wei was eager to get into the villa. No one knew when all of the guests would arrive, and she had no intention of waiting for who knew how long. She might as well sit comfortably and eat some snacks.
Just as she was about to take a step forward, however, she heard Yao Ranspeak in that sickening, sweet voice of hers. “It’s all right,Young Master Yang. It’s our fault for arriving early. It would be better for us to wait here, and we can all go inside together.”
Yang Nian nodded and did not insist any further.
Yan Wei, on the other hand, rolled her eyes to the side. She struggled to stifle her anger and not lash out at Yao Ran. She couldn’t do that, not withYang Nianaround.
Just then, another figure walked past the gates.
It caught Yang Nian’s attention, mainly because the person’s gait was a little familiar. He frowned slightly as he watched the girl pa.s.s by.
Before she could completely disappear, Yang Nianfound himself calling out to her. “Is that you, StudentYao Tang?”
A hush fell over the small crowd at the mention of her name.
Yan Wei andYao Ranboth turned in the direction ofYang Nian’s gaze, their expressions dark and a little hostile.
As for the other guests, they knew that Yao Tang and Yan Wei had a grudge to settle, and they were rather looking forward to what would happen next. But they had heard the uncertainty in Yang Nian’s voice, and they knew it wouldn’t do them any good to open their mouths.
The girl didn’t react to Yang Nian’s words and continued on her way, as If she had heard nothing at all.
A normal person wouldn’t have ignored someone calling out their name, especially when it was so out of the blue.
At the very least, she should have perked up from her phone and looked around.
Therefore, the party concluded that the girl wasn’t Yao Tang.
Why would she appear in this area, anyway? This was no place for the likes of her.
Everyone heaved a collective sigh of relief and counted themselves lucky.
If it had really been Yao Tang, who knew how the banquet would turn out tonight?
But at the same time, a nagging feeling of disappointment washed over them.
They wouldn’t have minded watching a great show between rivals.
Yang Nian was rooted to the spot, seemingly at a loss.
Only then did he realize just how much he had been thinking about Yao Tangrecently.
It felt… weird.
Yang Nian turned away, silently scolding himself for all this nonsense.
But right at that moment, another batch of guests arrived, and they happened to meet the girl face-to-face.
Leading them was Li Ruo, who had no qualms in calling out her enemies. “What are you doing here,Yao Tang?” she asked, sounding a little affronted.
Yang Nian immediately whipped his head back toward them, his eyes glinting with surprise and delight.
Yao Tang looked up from her phone and scowled atLi Ruo. She and her cronies were blocking the way.
She saw Li Ruo’s mouth moving, but she couldn’t hear anything through her headphones.
Yao Tang smirked and pulled her headphones off. “What’s the matter?” she asked coldly. “Why are you getting in my way?”
Li Ruo realized then that the other girl hadn’t heard everything she had said just now.
She flushed in embarra.s.sment under Yao Tang’s piercing glare.
