Chapter 355 - 123 Got someone’s heart, no regrets_3
Yun Ya raised an eyebrow, "What competition?"
"The National High School Basketball League."
Yun Ya knew Brother Yan was excellent at basketball and had won many awards nationally, and couldn’t help but smile, "I wish Brother Yan a victorious start and to bring home the trophy."
"Even if I won the championship I wouldn’t be happy."
"Why?"
The boy’s tone shifted, "Ji Yunya."
Gazing at the bright sunlight outside the window, Yun Ya smiled lightly, "Hmm?"
"The banquet is a place teeming with dragons and snakes. You must keep a low profile for me, don’t talk to men, don’t drink anything passed to you by others, and definitely don’t allow yourself to be bullied. Did you hear me?"
His voice was stern, but full of care.
Yun Ya’s heart warmed, "Okay."
"I’m coming back tomorrow, wait for me."
After hanging up the phone, Yun Ya felt a sense of emptiness inside. The phrase ’a single day apart feels like three seasons’ was really fitting.
At five o’clock, the stylist arrived at her home.
They did Yun Ya’s makeup and styled her hair. With a natural, breathable look, her skin appeared dewy and her eyes were watery. She was stunningly beautiful, enough to overturn cities and countries.
Yun Ya carried the hem of her dress and had a small clutch in hand as she walked downstairs.
Yun Shu and Kang Jinse sat on the couch, watching the girl descend from upstairs.
Indeed, she had been born with a beautiful complexion, her appearance and temperament more and more resembled that of the despised woman. Yun Shu’s gaze darkened, a flash of murderous intent quickly passing through her eyes.
Kang Jinse was envious and jealous, young and beautiful, with a good family background. How could this woman’s life be so good?
The more she thought about it, the angrier she became, and the angrier she got, the more she thought about it. How ridiculous it was, a woman in her thirties feeling jealous of a fifteen-year-old girl.
"Grandma, Aunt Jiang, is there anything you need me to pass on to Aunt Bai?" Yun Ya asked with a smile, looking towards the two women.
Yun Shu lowered her head to drink tea, as if she heard nothing.
Kang Jinse sneered, "Tell her this for me."
Yun Ya raised an eyebrow.
"Thank her for stepping aside, for letting Brother Shen and me, as well as the child, always remember her great kindness." The last four words were heavily sarcastic.
Yun Ya smiled thinly, "Sure, I will convey the message precisely."
With that, she turned to leave. The white chiffon fabric of her dress floated elegantly like the wind, making her figure seem even more graceful and delicate.
The corner of her mouth lifted in a mocking smile.
They really think Yun Shen is a hot commodity, adored by everyone. To you, he might be a treasure, but to others, he’s nothing more than grass.

When Yun Ya arrived, many luxury cars were already parked outside the villa.
Sitting in the car, Yun Ya saw many journalists gathered at the gates of the villa and couldn’t help feeling a headache coming on.
What on earth did Aunt Bai want to do?
She made a phone call.
"Yun Ya, have you arrived?" Bai Ran seemed very busy as there was some noise in the background.
"There are many journalists at the entrance."
Bai Ran chuckled, "Don’t tell me you’re scared. You’re the number one socialite, after all. Don’t bring shame to this title of yours—it’s about time for everyone to witness the elegance of the number one socialite, lest they think it’s an undeserved reputation."
"I’m not a celebrity, why should they gawk at me like I’m a giant panda?" Yun Ya truly hated such atmospheres.
"That train of thought... Alright, if you don’t want to show up, I’ll have someone bring you in through the back door."
Soon, a young man knocked on the car window, "Are you Miss Ji?"
Yun Ya nodded, "Yes, I am."
The man smiled, "Please follow me."
He then led the way.
Yun Ya followed him step by step.
The Bai Family Villa was a courtyard-style modern villa with a large land area. The back door faced a lake, with lush grass growing along its banks. The sunlight reflected off uneven waves, so dazzling it hurt to look at.
Yun Ya instinctively squinted her eyes.
Just then, the person in front abruptly turned around, a cold glint in his hand—it was a dagger.
Yun Ya took a sudden step back, finding herself at the edge of the lake. The water seemed deep, and anyone who fell in and couldn’t swim was bound to die.
Her gaze quickly scanned the surroundings; the back door was deserted. It was already impossible to expect someone to rescue her now.
"Who sent you?" Yun Ya asked coldly.
The assailant hadn’t expected her to remain so calm even now. He smirked, "You’d better go ask in the Underworld."
Thinking the girl was too pretty, his lust took over, thinking of playing with her before delivering her to the mistress. After all, the mistress had no intention of leaving a survivor.
Seeing the lust in the man’s eyes, Yun Ya scoffed, "Do you know who I am? Do you know the consequences of offending me?"
"Hah... however powerful you are, you can’t compare to our young mistress. You just made the mistake of offending the wrong person." He moved to grab Yun Ya by the throat, thinking it wouldn’t take any effort to subdue such a girl. Pleased with himself, he imagined what it would be like to have this pretty little creature under him...
