"You bastard!" Yanshan was usually very patient, but perhaps he was angered by Yanting's uncharacteristic attitude. He still used his usual punishment: "Go outside and kneel down. You can only get up when you are willing to go to the Lu family."

Unfortunately, Yanting is no longer the submissive Yanting she once was.

She has now seen through Yanshan's inherently selfish nature.

"Impossible." Yan Ting said, enunciating each word clearly, "I will not kneel, not even myself." Her slender back was straight, and her graceful figure stood there like an unyielding bamboo.

Yanshan originally wanted to call the bodyguards in and force her to kneel outside, but then he suddenly remembered that when he came back late at night last time, Li Qian cried and complained to him that Yanting was a freak.

According to Li Qian, Yan Ting was incredibly strong. That day, a thin girl actually knocked a burly man flying. Anyone who heard this would think it was a fantasy.

He didn't believe it at first, thinking Li Qian was talking nonsense, but he had to believe Yan Ting's great strength after witnessing the video on the camera.

Thinking of this, Yanshan calmed down. He still needed this daughter, and she couldn't be discarded before her value was completely exploited.

So, he looked at Yan Ting and said in a much gentler tone than before, "Tingting, although you are not related to us by blood, you grew up in the Yan family since you were little. We still have some father-daughter relationship. I won't force you to do this. You just got back, so go back and rest!"

Yan Ting was slightly taken aback: "..."

Immediately, she frowned slightly, feeling a bit wary.

Yanshan's attitude changed too quickly, which made Yanting wary.

In the end, she didn't say anything, but simply turned and left the study that had once cast a shadow over her.

"Father." Watching Yan Ting disappear through the door, Yan Nan frowned, somewhat disapproving of Yan Shan's attitude earlier: "We can find an opportunity to discuss this matter with the Lu family. If the Lu family really wants to annul the engagement because of this, then let them annul it!"

He knew what his father was angry about; it was nothing more than the fear of losing the Lu family as a resource.

However, given the Yan family's status, they wouldn't go out of their way to fawn over someone who doesn't appreciate their kindness.

"You don't understand, Ah Huai."

Yanshan, being the head of the family, had completely lost his anger towards Yanting. A forced smile appeared on his lips: "It's fine if she doesn't want to go to the Lu family, but the Yan family has raised her all these years. Even if she didn't give birth to you, she still owes you a debt of gratitude for raising her. So she has to repay the Yan family."

As for how to give back, that's up to Yanshan.

Lu Huai's lips moved slightly, but in the end he chose to remain silent.

Yan Ting, who had left the study, naturally did not hear these words. Her brows furrowed slightly, and her lips were cold.

It's strange, but the moment she said she was leaving the Yan family, I felt a tightness in my chest, as if a stone was pressing down on me.

at this time--

The phone rings.

Yan Ting glanced at the screen; it was a call from Tan Yi.

As soon as the call connected, Tan Yi's soft and charming voice came through: "Tingting, my darling, remember to pick me up at the airport tonight."

Caught completely off guard by this turn of events, Yan Ting was speechless.

"When did you book your flight?" Tan Yi hadn't informed Yan Ting about her return in advance, so she immediately said, "Why didn't you tell me beforehand?"

Tan Yi always had a sweet tongue in front of Yan Ting: "I just wanted to give my darling Tingting a surprise."

Yan Ting pinched her brow with her porcelain-white fingers and sighed, "More like a fright!"

As her best friend since college, how could she not know Tan Yi's ways?

"Have you gotten into trouble again?" She remembered that once at a drinking party, Tan Yi was harassed by a rich second-generation, and he directly stepped on the man's genitals until he was impotent.

She stepped on it with high heels.

They directly offended the family behind that rich second-generation.

But Tan Yi is afraid?

joke.

She offended everyone in the industry, both those she should and those she shouldn't have.

Faced with this, Yanting could only silently follow her best friend around, cleaning up the mess.

For example, she's become quite adept at dressing up as a man to act as her unwanted suitors.

"No way." On the phone, Tan Yi feigned anger: "Am I the kind of person who stirs up trouble?"

"Hmm." Yan Ting said calmly, "You're not, you're the best."

Tan Yi: "..."

Then, she changed the subject, "By the way, Tingting, remember to wear men's clothes when you come."

Yan Ting: "..." She knew it.

***

The night breeze was slightly chilly.

Yanting put on a coat over her clothes, and by the time she arrived at the airport, it was already 10:32.

It's less than five minutes from Tan Yi's departure from the airport.

Yan Ting didn't play on her phone; instead, she patiently waited for Tan Yi to come out.

After waiting for a while, as the airport announcements came on, people began to pour out of the airport exits one after another.

Yan Ting's eyes scanned the people coming out, and finally, her gaze locked onto a curly-haired woman wearing a pink dress.

The woman had snow-white skin, charming features, and a spoiled temperament, making her stand out in a group of people.

Tan Yi's initially impatient gaze lit up when she saw Yan Ting standing under the apricot tree. She rushed over immediately, not caring at all that she was wearing high heels.

Before Yan Ting could react, Tan Yi pounced on her.

To passersby, they looked like a handsome man and a beautiful woman.

"Tingting, you're so handsome." Tan Yi is rather petite, only 1.63 meters tall, so standing in front of Yan Ting, who is almost 1.8 meters tall with height-increasing insoles, she looks rather like a little bird nestled against someone.

Yan Ting glanced at her. "Are you hiding something from me?"

Tan Yi sighed: "It's a long story."

Yan Ting interrupted her expressionlessly: "Then let's get to the point."

"Let's talk in the car!"

Inside the car, upon hearing that Tan Yi had accidentally gotten drunk and slept with a strange man, Yan Ting's cool and delicate face was filled with shock.

"You have no idea how annoying he is. He keeps saying he'll take responsibility for me." At this point, Tan Yi couldn't help but roll her eyes. "Do I need him to take responsibility?"

Just then, the taxi suddenly stopped.

Tan Yi frowned slightly: "Why did the car stop?"

The driver turned to the two passengers in the back and apologized repeatedly: "I'm sorry, it seems there's a problem with the car. I'll go take a look."

Yan Ting said calmly, "It's nothing, Master, go and take a look."

The driver opened the door and got out of the car to check.

A moment later, the driver's voice could be heard from outside the car: "I'm very sorry, the car has indeed broken down. I'll have to trouble you two passengers to get off and take another car."

"Really?" Tan Yi frowned, her tone slightly displeased. "How are we supposed to get a taxi in this middle of nowhere?"

Upon hearing this, the driver could only apologize repeatedly: "I'm so sorry, I didn't expect the car to suddenly have a problem halfway through the journey."

Yan Ting remained calm. She lowered her voice and said in a magnetic tone, "Master, it's alright. You couldn't have predicted this kind of unexpected situation."

After getting out of the car, the two walked a distance and then realized that there were no passing vehicles at all on this road.

The map shows that this place is quite far from the city center!

It's impossible to hail a taxi.

"Tsk." Tan Yi looked listless, her tone tinged with guilt: "What bad luck. I should have known better than to ask Tingting to come pick me up."

Yan Ting shook her head: "It's nothing."

Just then, two beams of light suddenly shone behind the two of them.

Yan Ting turned around, raised her hand to shield her eyes from the blinding white light, squinted slightly, and saw a low-key, luxurious Maybach slowly approaching from the opposite direction.

Until it stopped beside them.

Yan Ting always had a keen intuition, and she immediately sensed a hostile gaze sweeping over her from head to toe inside the car.

Yan Ting immediately narrowed his eyes.

Immediately, the car window was slowly rolled down, revealing a sculpted, handsome face.

Tan Yi's initial joy at seeing the car froze when she saw the man's face. The next moment, a flash of anger crossed her eyes, and she said angrily, "Si Munan, didn't I tell you that our relationship was just an accident? Why are you so persistent?"

Yan Ting's lips twitched slightly.

She knew that this girl had gotten herself into trouble with someone again.

Yan Ting clearly saw the man glance at her indifferently, then scoff, "Relentless pursuit?"

“I arrived in Yancheng two days earlier than Miss Tan. According to your logic, you should be the one relentlessly pursuing me.”

Tan Yi: "..."

"I hope so." She scoffed. "A clean break is better for both of us."

Si Munan glanced at Yan Ting and said mockingly, "How could you bring yourself to kiss such a pretty boy!"

Little White Goose Face Pavilion: ?

"I'm happy to." With that, Tan Yi deliberately gave Yan Ting a kiss on the cheek.

Then Yanting saw Si Munan's gaze suddenly become extremely deadly, extremely oppressive, and extremely intimidating.

The next second, he said sarcastically, "Then I won't bother you two star-crossed lovers anymore. I wish you both good luck in the future."

After saying that, he decisively drove away.

"..." Tan Yi stared at the departing car with her alluring fox-like eyes: "You stingy bastard."

Yan Ting: "..."

Are they really going to have to spend the night on this main street?

I hope another car can drive over next.

As if it were a case of wishful thinking coming true, no sooner had Si Munan left than another car actually arrived.

Upon seeing the car clearly, Tan Yi was slightly surprised: "A Rolls-Royce?"

Yan Ting was also slightly surprised.

Another luxury car.

However, this luxury car looks even more luxurious than the one in front.

Tan Yi quickly stopped the Rolls-Royce. "Excuse me, could you please give us a ride to the city center? Don't worry, we'll pay for your fare."

The Rolls-Royce came to a slow stop.

Immediately, a voice that sounded strangely familiar in Yanting rang out in the car: "Get in."

The car door opened automatically, and Yan Ting subconsciously said, "Thank you—" but the other "thank you" caught in her throat when she saw the person in the car.
