Lin Qingning’s tone was rather unpleasant. “Ye Yao, the gap between you and Huo Buyu is too big. Even with Gao Qiao as a springboard, it’ll be very difficult for you to woo Huo Buyu.”
Ye Yao was nonchalant. “I don’t think you understand me. There’s nothing I can’t do, as long as I want it enough. It’s just Huo Buyu. I can handle him easily.”
Lin Qingning felt that Ye Yao was bragging. She sneered. “Can you win Huo Buyu over? I don’t believe it.”
Ye Yao replied, “You’ll believe me in two days.”
After class, Ye Yao went to buy milk tea. An angry voice came from behind. She immediately could tell that it was Qin Jiao. The shop assistant handed the milk tea to Ye Yao. Ye Yao took a big sip before turning around to look at Qin Jiao with an innocent smile. “I heard that you’re going to be an elder sister.
Congratulations.”
Qin Jiao’s face turned green. “Who’s going to be a sister? Your mother is a shameless slut! I don’t even know whose child she’s carrying!’
When Ye Yao heard this, she felt that Qin Jiao might have known something. She smiled faintly. “What are you talking about? Of course, my mother can only be carrying your father’s child. I heard that children nowadays don’t like their parents having a second child. Being old enough, you should be more resistant, right? But thinking about it, my mother is your stepmother after all. If she gives birth to a son, won’t she be fighting with you for the family assets?”
Qin Jiao went crazy. “Bullsh*t! Everything in my house is mine!”
Ye Yao smiled. “How is that possible? My mother’s child will be your younger brother. He’s also my younger brother. My younger brother will take a share of your assets. Don’t you think I have cause to be happy? I laugh in my dreams just thinking of how more than half of your assets will be taken away by my younger brother.”
Qin Jiao was exasperated, but she quickly calmed down and looked at Ye Yao smugly. “You won’t be smug for long. There’s something you might not know, right? Your darling Huo Buyu is about to get engaged to Jiang Yun. You’ll lose
Huo Buyu eventually.”
Ye Yao narrowed her eyes. This was the second time she was hearing about
Huo Buyu getting engaged to Jiang Yun. She immediately pretended to be sad. “That won’t happen. I’m Huo Buyu’s greatest love. He won’t get engaged to anyone else, let alone Jiang Yun!”
Qin Jiao looked at Ye Yao’s crazy expression and felt very smug. “He won’t? Aren’t you too naive? There’s no true love in a truly wealthy family. Do you think it’s enough that Huo Buyu likes you? Huo Buyu’s grandfather has to like you too. Do you know why I was with Huo Buyu back then? It was because Huo Buyu’s grandfather said it had to be so! Huo Buyu has never disobeyed his grandfather’s orders!”
Ye Yao was initially quite terrified, but after hearing Qin Jiao’s words, she was no longer terrified. Instead, she heaved a sigh of relief. “I see. To think I was scared to death.”
Qin Jiao was rather annoyed by Ye Yao’s reaction. “Huo Buyu is getting engaged to Jiang Yun! You don’t stand a chance! Huo Buyu will break up with you soon!”
“That’s not going to happen.” Ye Yao waved her hand. “You weren’t with Huo Buyu in the end, right? Obviously what his grandfather says doesn’t count.”
Qin Jiao stomped her feet in anger. “Just you wait!”
Time passed quickly. In the blink of an eye, it was the day of Old Master Huo’s banquet. The banquet of the President’s grandfather was naturally very grand. The Huo family was a well-known family to begin with. Before Huo Buqi was the President, the Huo family was the number one family in the capital. In other words, even if Huo Buqi weren’t the President, no one could shake the
Huo family’s status. Therefore, many people came to congratulate Old Master Huo.
When Huo Buqi, Huo Buyu, and Ye Yao arrived together, they attracted the attention of many people. Most of their gazes fell on Ye Yao. Which family’s daughter was this, walking in with Huo Buyu and Huo Buqi?
When Gao Qiao saw that Ye Yao had arrived, he followed behind her and did not dare to get too close. He was afraid that Ye Yao would not be able to handle what might happen today.
When Ye Yao saw Gao Qiao, she waved at him, and Gao Qiao quickened his pace.
Ye Yao patted Gao Qiao on his shoulder. “What are you doing? Let out your aura. Look at you. Do you think I’ll lose? You have to have confidence in me. All of my charisma is right here!”
Gao Qiao really liked Ye Yao’s personality. No matter what situation she faced, she was always optimistic. He nodded solemnly. “Alright! I believe in you!’
Then, he turned around and saw a familiar figure entering. He approached Ye Yao and whispered, “Jiang Yun has arrived..”
