The National Goddess Reborn

Everyone knew that Yang Kun was the founder of the Gan Kun Hall. As long as they could get close to him, the Nian Family’s status in Jiang City would definitely rise!

The Nian Family was a wealthy family in Jiang City, but compared to Old Master Yang, who was a senior figure in the political circle, the difference was huge!

“Oh? Isn’t her surname Nian?” Old Master Yang continued asking.

“Nian… Yue Yue grew up with Grandma because her health wasn’t good when she was young and because we were busy with work…” Nian Chaoyu explained hurriedly.

“But I don’t think you’re busy at all…” Old Master Yang’s gaze lingered on Nian Yan for a while.

Old Master Yang’s words were neither too fast nor too slow. He did not say anything in detail, but it made everyone’s imagination run wild.

Everyone knew that Nian Corporation had always been under Nian Chaoyu’s care. Nian Yu and Nian Yue had always been the ones holding the shares.

Nian Yu’s shares were already under his name when he became of age. The remaining portion would naturally fall into Nian Yue’s hands when she turned eighteen.

Nian Chaoyu had worked hard for more than twenty years in the Nian Corporation. Just when he was about to retire after achieving success, Nian Yue suddenly appeared out of nowhere. How could he accept this?

He had given Nian Yu that portion of shares because Nian Yu had his ways. He did not have a choice.

Nian Chaoyu was certain that Nian Yue did not have a good relationship with Nian Yu. Nian Yu had an indifferent personality, so he could not be bothered to interfere with Nian Yue’s matters.

The entire upper-class society knew that Nian Yue was an idiot. Giving Nian Yue the other half of the Nian family’s inheritance rights would be akin to pushing the Nian family into a fire pit.

No matter what, he would hold on to these shares tightly!

Looking at Nian Chaoyu’s constantly changing expression, Yang Kun knew that he had made the right guess.

No wonder Nian Yue had such a cold personality.

Nian Chaoyu still wanted to explain, but Old Master Yang waved his hand and said, “Alright, I’m having a good chat with Lass Nian.”

It was clear that he was chasing Nian Chaoyu away.

Nian Chaoyu left resentfully. He still had to find an opportunity to build a good relationship with Old Master Yang. At this moment, he definitely couldn’t let Old Yang feel disgusted with him.

Nian Yan glared at Nian Yue with hatred. Her jealousy grew like a vine and she left unwillingly.

Seeing that Yang Kun and Nian Yue were chatting happily, all the other guests were savvy enough not to disturb them.

Since Nian Yue had a cold personality and was not a talkative person, Old Master Yang chatted with her for a while before excusing himself to rest. No one would probably believe that Old Master Yang was afraid that a young girl would get impatient.

Nian Yue went to the buffet spread and picked up a fruit plate. She picked up a few pieces of fruit and tried them. She had not eaten anything since she left the Nian Family. Although her mental strength was enough to fill her stomach, she would not reject the food in this world.

Those who attended such banquets were all rich ladies from upper-class society. There were very few people who actually touched the table. As such, the aloof girl in the school uniform became an anomaly.

She was clearly wearing a school uniform, which was vastly different from the bright and beautiful gowns all around her, but her every move seemed to glow, making people involuntarily look at her.

Some of the boys were already whispering to one another. “This girl looks pretty good. She looks so much better than the internet celebrity…”

“Why don’t we play rock-paper-scissors and whoever loses will ask for her contact?”

“I think she’s pretty cold. I feel like she might hit someone if she gets angry…”

…

The rich kids were eager to try, their eyes shining.

When Lin Nan came over, he saw that Nian Yue was eating a strawberry. Her fair index finger and middle finger were holding the strawberry. She exerted a little force and threw it into her mouth. Compared to her usual coldness, the young girl now seemed to be more cavalier.

“Nian Yue…” Lin Nan walked over and greeted her.

“Why are you here?” Nian Yue raised her eyebrows. She thought that after the previous incident, he would at least settle down for some time.

“I’m afraid you’ll suffer…” Lin Nan scratched his head in embarrassment.

When she attended the Li family’s banquet, she was bullied by Xiao Qingqing and the rest. He was really afraid that this would happen again.

“Thank you very much for your concern.” Nian Yue’s lips curled up slightly, and there was finally some warmth in her cold eyes.

“Nian Yue…”

Nian Yan walked over leisurely in her gown.

“Hello, I am Nian Yan.” There was a smile on Nian Yan’s face as she looked at Lin Nan. There was a flash of determination in her eyes.

She was the campus belle of No.1 Middle School, Nian Yan. She did not believe that Lin Nan would keep his attention on Nian Yue when she came over.

“Mm.” Lin Nan took a sip of wine, obviously not wanting to bother with her.

“I’m sure you don’t know Yue Yue yet, right? Let me introduce her to you. This is my younger sister, Nian Yue. She just came from the countryside and doesn’t know the rules.” Nian Yan deliberately raised her voice, attracting the attention of the rich ladies and young masters around her.

Hearing her voice, the other rich kids looked over, their faces filled with disbelief.

“Sister? Is that the Second Mistress of the Nian Family, Nian Yue?”

“I was still wondering who it was, but it turned out to be that country bumpkin from the Nian Family!”

“She has such a beautiful face for nothing. She must have gone under the knife. How can she compare to Nian Yan?”

…

Nian Yan was intellectual and elegant. On the other hand, Nian Yue was a country bumpkin from the countryside. How could she compare to their Nian Yan?

Hearing the discussions around her, a cold glint flashed across Lin Nan’s eyes. Just as he was about to mock her, he heard Nian Yan say, “I have something to say to my sister. Please wait a moment…”

“Who do you think you are?” Lin Nan sneered. He had always been a little tyrant. The reason he was so restrained today was because Nian Yue was here.

“You…”

This was the first time someone had disregarded her. Nian Yan’s face turned pale.

“Let’s go.” Nian Yue turned around and left with one hand in her pocket.

When the two of them reached the back garden, Nian Yan could no longer hold it in. “Nian Yue, why are you so insensible? You were always following Brother Yiran around and now you’re with Lin Nan…”

“Oh? You think so?” Nian Yue raised her eyebrows. When she heard her words, she became interested instead.

“Don’t play dumb with me!” Nian Yan could not hold it in any longer. “Do you think you’ll have a good time in No.1 Middle School just because you’ve managed to cozy up to Lin Nan?! The Xiao Family will never let you off after what happened at the Li Family!”

Xiao Qingqing was still hospitalized. When she was discharged, Nian Yue would definitely not have a good time.

“Weren’t you at the scene? You know better than anyone what happened that day…” Nian Yue’s lips twitched as a cold glint flashed across her eyes.
