Chapter 3: The Family that Puts on an Act

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Nian Yue raised her head and looked at the colorful banquet entrance. Suddenly, the corners of her lips curled up.

She was looking towards the third floor.

– On the third floor –

The room was terrifyingly dark. One could vaguely make out two men, one in front and one behind.

“Do you really need to personally deal with the Li family’s trivial matters?”

The one who spoke was one of the Li family’s guests today, Jiang Jincheng.

The two of them had come to Jiang City for business, and it was purely a coincidence that they had come to the Li family’s banquet.

He didn’t expect that he would be able to see the other man make his move today.

It was not possible to see the expression of the man standing in front of the window. He came against the light and one could only vaguely make out his perfect side profile.

His side profile was so attractive that it was hard to take one’s eyes off him. As for his face, one could imagine the commotion it would cause.

“Not bad.” The man curled his lips and gave a vague comment.

“Do you fancy the women here?” Jiang Jincheng looked frustrated.

This was someone who could have everything bent to his will in the capital.

Such a god-like figure had always stood at the top of the food chain. What kind of woman could catch his eye?

Today, he made an exception for a girl he did not know.

“Let’s postpone our return for a few months,” the man said faintly. Only his eyes were extremely bright.

Nian Yue walked along the road for more than ten minutes before she hailed a taxi.

The car drove along the smooth road and only stopped when they arrived at Jun Lin Villa.

Nian Yue got out of the car and took out her cell phone. She passed it to the driver and said, “This is the latest PG model. It will cover the fare.”

The taxi driver’s eyes were wide open. He knew that the people living in Jun Lin Villa District were either rich or noble, but this young lady was so generous with a PG worth 7000-8000 dollars. Wasn’t that a little too much?

“Change the tires of the car. They’re a safety hazard.” Nian Yue rubbed her brows and walked towards the villa.

The cabbie felt even more guilty at her words. He’d been a cab driver for too long. The tires should have been changed long ago.

It was only because their family’s finances weren’t good that he kept dragging it out.

He did not expect this young lady to be so kind despite being silent all the way!

To Nian Yue, this matter was dispensable. Anyway, the cell phone was not paid for with her money.

She looked at the brightly lit villa in front of her and stretched her body. She didn’t know how much supernatural power she had brought over. She could only use the most primitive method to recover her physical fitness.

Although it had only been twenty minutes, the pain in her body had lessened considerably.

However, Nian Yue narrowed her eyes. With her good hearing, she knew exactly what was happening in the villa.

– Inside the villa –

Nian Yan had just come downstairs after taking a shower. “Dad, Yue Yue isn’t back yet?”

Nian Chaoyu’s face turned ashen as he slammed his palm on the table. “Who allowed her to attend the Li family’s banquet? Don’t you think it’s embarrassing enough?”

“Dad, don’t be angry. It’s not like you don’t know that Chen Yiran is there. That’s why Yue Yue ran over…” Nian Yan walked down the stairs and comforted him.

However, when she said this, Nian Chaoyu’s face turned ashen. “Does she still behave like a girl?! She’s following Chen Yiran around every day! Don’t you find it embarrassing enough? I shouldn’t have brought her back! I’ll call her now and send her away! I don’t want to embarrass myself anymore!”

Nian Chaoyu pretended to make a phone call, but Nian Yan quickly stopped him. “Dad, Yue Yue just came back. If you chase her out now, won’t you be making it public?”

“That’s right. Don’t be agitated. We’ll talk about it when Yue Yue comes back…”

A beautiful woman sitting on the sofa said.

“Look at what time it is now? It’s all your fault. I told you not to spoil her, but look at what has happened now. She’s just a girl. Why isn’t she back by now? She didn’t even call home!”

Nian Chaoyu was so angry that his face was flushed red. The beautiful woman hurriedly went to calm him down. “Don’t be angry. This isn’t the first time this has happened. I thought that everything would be fine…”

“What did you say?!”

Nian Chaoyu exploded when he heard this. “You said that she has been staying out late? She went out to fool around?!”

“Not really…”

The beautiful woman seemed to have some concerns and didn’t dare to say anything. However, she had to say it out of consideration for Nian Chaoyu.

“Dad, don’t be fierce to Mom. She didn’t do it on purpose. You know that Yue Yue has never liked…”

Clap! Clap Clap!

An ear-piercing slow clap rang out, and everyone looked towards the door simultaneously.

Nian Yue was already standing at the door. She was dressed in a simple black shirt and white pants, and her hair was draped over her shoulders. Her actions were unruly and indifferent.

There was a coldness that emanated from deep within.

This was still the same Nian Yue, but there seemed to be something different about her!

Nian Yue’s lips curled up slightly as her frosty gaze swept across the few of them.

The person facing her was Nian Chaoyu, the father of the Host and the head of the Nian family.

The beautiful woman sitting next to Nian Chaoyu was wearing a fiery red dress and had a thick layer of foundation on her face. Those who didn’t know better would think that she was going to attend some noble ladies’ banquet.

This was her stepmother, Wang Meihua.

The seventeen year old woman next to Wang Meihua, was the devious sister who encouraged the Host to attend the Li family banquet.

The family of three sat neatly as if they were having a meeting.

“You still know that you have to come back?”

When Nian Chaoyu saw her, he immediately exploded. “Which girl is as shameless as you are! You’ve disgraced the entire Nian Family!”

“Dad, don’t be angry!”

“Yue Yue is still young. It’s inevitable for her to make mistakes…”

Nian Yan was the first to speak, followed by Wang Meihua.

“Yue Yue, apologize to Dad. Promise you won’t go again!” Nian Yan acted like a caring elder sister.

“Oh…”

Nian Yue yawned and glanced at the clock on the wall. It was one in the morning, yet this family could still wait until now. It was really not easy to put on an act in front of her.

“Didn’t you ask me to go?”

Nian Yue blinked curiously.

“What did you say…” Nian Yan laughed dryly.” Yue Yue, I know you’re afraid that Dad will punish you if he finds out about this, but you have to be honest and not lie through your teeth…”

“But I’m telling the truth…” Nian Yue put on an innocent look.” You were the one who told me that I would have a lot of delicious food at Uncle Li’s banquet…”

“I…”

Nian Yan could not quite figure out Nian Yue’s personality at that moment. She had clapped at the start with a face full of indifference, but now, her face was filled with innocence…

“Stop it!”

Nian Chaoyu rubbed his temples and said, “Nian Yan, come here!”

His tone was stern and Nian Yan shivered from his scolding. She quickly lowered her head and said, “I understand.”

Only Wang Meihua and Nian Yue were left in the living room. Nian Yue could not be bothered with her. She walked straight to the dining table and sat down.

She hadn’t eaten anything at the banquet today and her body was starving.

As for the grudge with Nian Yan, there was no hurry. She could take it slow.
