Yang Ya could see everything clearly from the corner. Qin Jiao was standing beside her. The latter gritted her teeth and held Yang Ya’s hand, acting cute.

“You have to help me punish Ye Yao.”

Yang Ya narrowed her eyes. The way Huo Buyu doted on Ye Yao was especially glaring. She poured a glass of wine and drank it in one gulp. Then, she slowly walked towards Ye Yao. “Ye Yao, you’re here.”

Ye Yao was a little surprised that she’d take the initiative to strike up a conversation. The woman probably didn’t want anyone to know that she was her daughter, right? Why was she being so brazen?

Ye Yao said, “Yes, I came with Huo Buyu.”

Yang Ya smiled and nodded at Huo Buyu. “Huo Buyu, thank you for taking care of Ye Yao during this period of time.”

Huo Buyu’s expression was icy. “Ye Yao is my girlfriend. It’s my duty to take care of her. Moreover, she’s very well-behaved.”

“I’m relieved then,” Yang Ya nodded. She continued, “I’ll take Ye Yao away for a while. You won’t mind, right?”

Huo Buyu looked at Ye Yao questioningly, as though seeking her opinion. Ye

Yao shrugged. “Sure.” Then, she and Yang Ya walked to the side. There was no one around. Yang Ya took out a set of very expensive-looking jewelry from her bag. “Ye Yao, I owe you much all these years. This is the jewelry I bought some time ago. I wish to give it to you.”

Ye Yao looked at the set of jewelry. The sapphire was shiny and glittery, and looked very expensive. She felt that the world was starting to become a fantasy. Yang Ya was actually giving her such an expensive thing? Ye Yao’s intuition told her that this must be a conspiracy. She tilted her head and said softly, “If she is up to no good, sneeze.”

Yang Ya sneezed three times in a row.

Ye Yao raised an eyebrow. She knew that Yang Ya would not be giving her gifts for no reason. She was even scheming against her very own daughter. How ruthless. However… Ye Yao was not someone to be trifled with now. She looked at the sapphire necklace and smiled. “This looks very expensive. I can’t accept it.”

Yang Ya looked at Ye Yao with pretend anger. “Why can’t you accept a gift from your mother? I’m giving it to you, so just accept it.”

Actually, Ye Yao had little affection for Yang Ya. Yang Ya had a restless heart. Before the divorce, Ye Tianhao, as her father, was home to accompany her while Yang Ya was out gallivanting. The woman was never home to spend time with Ye Yao, it was as if she had never treated Ye Yao as her daughter.

Yang Ya placed the sapphire on the table and smiled at Ye Yao. “Alright, I have something to attend to. Put away your gift. After the banquet ends, let’s have a good chat.”

“Okay.” Ye Yao looked at Yang Ya’s departing figure and revealed a meaningful smile. When she was young, Yang Ya would not bear to part with her money to buy her a cheap toy. And now she’s actually giving her such an expensive gift?

Having spotted Huo Buyu in the crowd, Ye Yao walked towards him. Huo Buyu reached out to give her an affectionate rub on the head and asked in a low voice, “What did Yang Ya want?”

Ye Yao shrugged. “Nothing good.”

“Ye Yao!” It was unknown when Gao Qiao had arrived. When he saw Ye Yao, he went running up to her excitedly, cupping his fists. “From today onwards, you’re the person I admire the most. There’s no one else!” He felt that it was too magical to have won such a huge project with 400 million yuan. If he had known this, he would have indicated 100 million yuan!

Huo Buyu’s expression darkened. He grabbed Gao Qiao’s shoulder and warned,

“Stay away from Ye Yao in the future.”

“No way!” Gao Qiao outrightly refused. “Let me tell you, Huo Buyu, even if you put a knife to my neck now, I won’t stay away from Ye Yao!”

Fortunately, Gao Qiao didn’t have designs on Ye Yao. Otherwise, Huo Buyu would be furious at this sort of blatant pursuit! Huo Buyu also knew Gao Qiao was a person who would not be swayed easily once he set his mind on something. He felt a headache coming on.

Gao Qiao shamelessly went up to Ye Yao, saying, “Ye Yao, it’s my grandmother’s birthday today. You don’t have to be restrained. Just treat it as your own home.”

Ye Yao laughed dryly, but she didn’t say anything because Huo Buyu was next to her.

Gao Qiao’s grandmother turned 90 today, and almost everyone who was somebody in the imperial capital was here. Ye Yao saw that the Qin family was also here to celebrate the elderly lady’s birthday. Yang Ya was here, with her arms circled around the arm of Qin Jiao’s father, Qin Guodong. She looked like a shy little woman, whose world was filled with Qin Guodong and nothing else. She was like a little woman drowning in love. Ye Yao had never seen Yang Ya like this. Perhaps this was the sort of love she had been chasing after all her life. Qin Jiao was standing next to them and they were like a happy family of three..
