Chapter 227 - 107 Unintentionally fell in love with you_2
Envy, jealousy, and hatred abound.
Ye Xiaoxiao, with her schoolbag on her back, walked out, just missing the exciting scene. She overheard a few girls chattering into their phones behind her, snatched the phone away, and the girls quickly bowed their heads, not making a sound.
Ye Xiaoxiao clicked on the photo to enlarge it. The tall figure of the boy completely obscured the girl’s face, leaving only her flowing long hair and red dress visible. Despite the cold phone screen, the ambiguous atmosphere between the two was palpable.
Moreover, Yan Song, who always kept girls at arm’s length, was not only talking to her but also let her ride his bike, hugging and holding her. Who would believe there was nothing going on?
Especially since Yan Song had a serious case of mysophobia and usually nobody dared to touch even the hem of his clothes.
This girl must be the childhood friend rumor has it, with many voices on the forums expressing the same skepticism.
Ye Xiaoxiao gripped her phone tightly, a streak of viciousness flashing in her eyes.
Li Nan came out and whispered in her ear, "Xiaoxiao, I’ve found out everything."
Ye Xiaoxiao’s eyes sharpened, her eyebrows raised, "Speak."
Li Nan leaned in and whispered, "Kang Jinxian’s niece, the Yun Family’s Miss Ji Yunya."
Ji Yunya?
Ye Xiaoxiao was unfamiliar with that name. Li Nan immediately handed her a newspaper she had prepared earlier and pointed at the headline, "She’s just returned to the country recently, and her appearance has caused quite a stir, the media have dubbed her the number one socialite of Jiangzhou."
Ye Xiaoxiao’s lips curled into a disdainful smile, "The number one socialite?"
As if she’s worthy.
Thinking of something, her eyes narrowed slightly, "Did you say she’s Kang Jinxian’s niece?"
Li Nan nodded, "Yes, Kang Jinxian is the Yun Family’s adopted daughter, and this Ji Yunya was sent abroad by her family at the age of five and has only just returned to the country. Just after she came back, something happened to Kang Jinxian, and I think it can’t be unrelated to Ji Yunya."
Ye Xiaoxiao took another careful look at the news; it featured a photo of Ji Yunya—a blurry figure, but such an elegant and unforgettable demeanor.
"Quite the character," her thin lips curved slightly.
"Let’s go," Ye Xiaoxiao said as she stepped away.
Li Nan, uncertain of her thoughts, felt a bit apprehensive.
"Xiaoxiao, how about I find someone to teach this Ji Yunya a lesson?" Li Nan tentatively asked.
Ye Xiaoxiao gave her a glance, and Li Nan heard her utter two words from her thin lips.
"Fool."
Li Nan quickly hung her head.
"Ji Yunya is not a simple character; we’ll see," Ye Xiaoxiao said.
Out of the corner of her eye, Ye Xiaoxiao caught a glimpse of a boy walking past her, so quiet that he was nearly invisible. She raised an eyebrow and walked over to block his way.
"Ning Zihuan, I haven’t settled accounts with you for that day. If you bow and beg for mercy now, I might just be in a good mood and let you off," she said.
The boy looked up at her silently, his eyes as still as the dead sea, causing her heart to involuntarily tremble.
Without a word, the boy walked around her and left, his slender and lean figure growing distant in the crowd.
In that fleeting moment of distraction, he was already far away.
Fuming, Ye Xiaoxiao couldn’t help placing her hands on her hips and swearing, "You’ll pay for this, Ning Zihuan. One day, I’ll make you kneel and beg for mercy."
Heading towards a black sedan parked by the roadside, Ning Zihuan bent down and got into the car as the driver opened the door for him.
The car slowly merged into traffic.
Ning Zihuan looked out the window at the rapidly receding scenery, his gaze somewhat vacant.
He recalled the scene he had just witnessed.
Suddenly he raised his hand to his heart, his delicate brow furrowing slightly.
He sighed lightly, his eyes drooping in a touch of desolation.
At that moment, his phone rang.
"Zijin, are you done with school?" Ning Zijin’s cool voice came through the phone.
"Mhm, I’m in the car on the way home."
"I’ll give you an address. Have the driver take you there directly. I don’t have any more time, Zijin. You’re the only person big sister can trust now."
——
After crossing several intersections and riding for what seemed like a long time, so long that Yun Ya felt as if she had taken a nap, they arrived.
"We’re here," came Yan Song’s low voice by her ear.
Yun Ya lifted her head from his embrace, and the neighborhood lay bathed in a golden twilight, looking quite beautiful.
Yan Song parked the bike at the entrance of the neighborhood and walked in with Yun Ya.
They found the unit number and took the elevator to the fifth floor.
Yun Ya pressed the doorbell and soon a voice came from inside, "Who is it?"
"It’s me, Aunt Die," Yun Ya responded.
The next moment, the metal entrance door was opened from inside, and Ji Die exclaimed with joy, "Yun Ya, it’s you; you’re back."
Seeing the tall and handsome boy standing behind Yun Ya, Ji Die’s brows furrowed slightly, "And who might this be?"
"A friend," Yun Ya said with a smile as she walked in, while Yan Song pursed his lips but said nothing.
