Chapter 21: Never Seen Him Before
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Over the years in the Xu Family, Li Meixiang had learned how to observe the severity of things. Even though she hated Xu Lan for appearing out of nowhere, she could tell how important Xu Lan was in the Yan Family’s engagement banquet that day.
Although Xu Lan had not appeared at the time and it had been canceled at the last minute, not only her, but the entire Xu Lan knew that it was only a matter of time before Xu Lan became the Young Madam of the Yan Family.
After calming Xu Yan down, Li Meixiang gave her a card.
“You also know that it wasn’t easy for your father to build up the Xu Corporation. Now that Young Master Yan has taken a liking to Xu Lan, it’ll only be beneficial for us in the future. So, if we should try to avoid provoking her.”
“But Mom—”
Li Meixiang patiently explained the pros and cons, but Xu Yan could not help but shed tears.
“Alright, I know it’s painful, but your dad did it for the sake of our family. Didn’t you see how arrogant Xu Lan was when she came back this time?”
“…”
Li Meixiang thought that she was wronged because Father Xu was too harsh on her. However, she did not know that two days ago, she had been raped and humiliated.
Xu Yan had been the one who ordered Xu Lan to be kidnapped, so she could easily guess that Xu Lan had hired someone to do it to her.
She would forever remember this debt.
Xu Lan stayed at the Xu Family home. Everything was calm, but it was filled with awkwardness.
During the reunion dinner, apart from Father Xu occasionally asking about her grandmother, the rest of the questions were about her studies and what university she wanted to attend.
Xu Lan’s results were average. When she was transferred here, Father Xu did not want to spend so much money for her to study at an elite school like Xu Yan, so he had found an ordinary high school for her.
“Anything.”
Xu Lan finished chewing and took a sip of red wine.
Xu Yan, who was sitting opposite her, glanced at her and ate her food slowly. Li Meixiang, who was sitting next to her, answered, “I wonder how your grades are. I heard that Li City University’s cutoff score is above 600.”
“That was last year, but that might not be the case this year.”
Father Xu interjected.
Li Meixiang raised her eyebrows and lowered her head to eat her food.
At that moment, Xu Yan suddenly let out a derisive laugh.
Everyone looked at her, but she did not care. She picked up her wine glass and took a big gulp.
She then put it down and stood up to leave.
Xu Lan watched her leave the dining room and lost her appetite. She wiped her mouth and followed her.
That night, she had just taken a shower and was about to rest when she heard the sound of a car downstairs. She opened the curtains and saw Xu Yan driving out of the garage.
Without hesitation, she threw down the towel and quickly changed her clothes.
By the time she ran out, Xu Yan had already driven off.
There was a custom in China that on the night of Chinese New Year’s Eve, there would be no one sleeping.
However, only the older generation had the idea of staying up all night.
Xu Lan got into Sang Ye’s car at the intersection and immediately used her phone to locate Xu Yan’s address.
When she arrived, Xu Yan was being kissed by a man.
“What happened to your sister? Not only does she have a boyfriend, but she’s also…”
Before Sang Ye could finish, Xu Lan glanced at him and he stopped talking.
“I don’t know her that well. Don’t involve me with her.”
With that, she got out of the car.
At that moment, Xu Yan was no longer outside.
She raised her head and looked at the entertainment city called Tinglan Waterside Pavilion in front of her. In her mind, she suddenly recalled that Xu Yan had told her about some of Yan Si’s romantic history.
“Are you really going in?”
She had just taken a few steps forward when Sang Ye stuck his head out from the car.
Xu Lan paused and turned around. She squinted and said seriously, “You can go back first. You can leave the car behind.”
Sang Ye was speechless and did not stop her.
The moment she entered, her head hurt from the deafening music. She subconsciously covered her ears with her scarf before slowly squeezing through the crowd.
After a while, she started sweating.
The wind outside was chilly, and the room was as warm as summer.
Xu Lan went to the front desk to open a private room and ordered a few bottles of wine. She was about to call Qi Mingyue when the door rang.
She did not have time to make the call and went to open the door first.
Seeing that it was to send the alcohol in, she did not mind.
When Qi Mingyue arrived, she brought a glass of wine to the front desk.
However, she did not know that she was being stared at by two pairs of eyes.
“She’s new, I’ve never seen her before.”
“She’s to my liking.”
