Even Jiang Moliang was eager to butter up the man before her, and he was so cold to Jiang Moliang.
Yu Ling would never let this rare chance go just because of Han Zigao.
Han Zigao could hardly believe he had been slapped. He turned red in anger.
His chest heaved up and down rapidly. His fists were tightly closed. He looked he would lose control any minute.
He was treated in such a humiliating way in the presence of so many people. As a man, Han Zigao couldnât swallow it.
However, Yu Ling just took him for granted. She met his eyes fearlessly.
In the end, it was Han Zigao who lowered his head.
âMiss Yu, you two are...?â Jiang Chen asked, pretending he was curious.
âHe is just a pursuer of mine who wishes he can get me,â Yu Ling said immediately.
Smiling, Jiang Chen said, âWell, then I have nothing to worry about. So, can I invite Miss Yu to visit the Jiangs with me as my plus one?â
âCan I?â
Yu Ling held her breath. With her background, it would have been impossible for her to get such a chance.
The respectable noble Jiangs were those she could only look up to.
If she could be a distinguished guest of the Jiangs, it would be something she could boast for the rest of her life.
âOf course.â
Then Jiang Chen changed an expression. Throwing Han Zigao a glance, he said, âBut you are the only one who has got invited.â
âYoung Master Jiang, donât worry. Iâm not with him.â
Then, glancing at Han Zigao, Yu Ling ordered, âYou can go back now.â
âGo back?â
Han Zigao didnât understand where else he could go, but he knew what Yu Ling had meant.
Gnashing his teeth, he left unhappily.
âYoung Master Jiang, now no one will disturb us.â
He hadnât gone very far when he heard Yu Ling say to Jiang Chen in a gentle tone.
Bitch!
Han Zigao swore silently. His face was so black that it looked he would swallow someone down.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
He finally saw the true color of these young ladies from aristocratic families. They were hypocritical and libertine. She abandoned him so quickly just because she felt he was in her way.
And he had got nothing during these days. He had thought he would be rich and promising, but by then, it turned out to be a joke.
Lan.
He thought of his fiancé, who was obedient and always did what he said.
However, he couldnât help but shake his head when he had realized what kind of situation Lan could be in at the moment.
âEh?â
Suddenly, Han Zigao saw a familiar figure. It was exactly the fiancé he had been thinking of.
He hadnât seen her for a month. She still looked pretty and youthful. She was even wearing an expensive spiritual suit, which brought a great change to her. He felt she had turned into a beautiful swan from an ugly duckling.
Was she sold to someone?
At this thought, Han Zigao walked up to her after hesitation.
âLan.â
All kinds of emotions welled up inside Lan as soon as she heard the voice of the person who used to be the closest to her, although she had given up hope long time ago.
She didnât forget what Young Master Wind and Jiang Moliang had told her. She pretended she was very surprised.
âLan! Iâve finally found you! It has taken me such a great effort to look for you! Didnât I tell you to wait for me on that street?â Han Zigaoâs acting skill was astounding. He really looked he was about to cry because of the pleasant surprise.
If Lan hadnât seen him walking with Yu Ling, she would have believed him.
However, she still had to pretend that she didnât know that yet. She said, âDidnât you sell me to the Fairy Maiden Bar?â
âFairy Maiden Bar? How is it possible?! I would never do such things to you. You ran away with me against your parentsâ will. I will never have the heart to do that to you,â Han Zigao said emotionally, as if he had been wronged.
Lan burst into tears. She had never thought the man she had been in love with was such a terrible person. He was lying through his teeth.
âBut you signed on the contract to sell me. Itâs your handwriting! I saw it.â Lan wondered what he would say.
âThe contract to sell you? My name? No way. Ah. Right! I remember I did sign my name on a piece of paper, but that paper was blank. I confirmed it when I paid the bill.â
Han Zigao thought he was clever. He had no idea that Lan had already known everything.
He said, âThe Fairy Maiden Bar must have lied to you to have you under control.â
Lan would have believed him if she hadnât met Young Master Wind and Jiang Moliang.
Han Zigao thought she was crying so hard because of what he had said. He added, âLan, letâs get away from here. Letâs go away with everything we have.â
He put emphasis on âwith everything we haveâ.
He had had enough to be a pet of a young lady of an aristocratic family. He wanted to do something big.
âLan, I wonât look down on you. On the contrary, weâll punish those bad people. The fact you can come out alone means youâve won trust of that man...â
âHold on. What are you talking about?â Lan interrupted him since she felt weird.
âWasnât you bought from the Fairy Maiden Bar by someone?â Han Zigao said. He was surprised.
Smiling bitterly, Lan said, âYeah. So?â
Han Zigao didnât notice that Lan had been much colder, since his fiancé used to be extremely obedient to him.
âThe person I love is you. As long as we are together, nothing else is important.â
âDo you mean it?â Lan asked. There was disgust in her eyes.
âOf course, but we need money to live and to get out of here...â
âSo, are you gonna take away the spiritual storage ware of the man who bought me?â Lan cut in.
âLan? Whatâs wrong with you? This is for both of us.â Han Zigao finally sensed there was something wrong.
âI will not go away with you!â Lan said.
âWhy? Are you...are you in love with your buyer? How could you be such a bitch?!â Han Zigao swore at her.
Pah!
Lan slapped across his face. Her expression after the slap told it was obviously her first time to do something like that.
However, Lan didnât regret. Instead, she felt great.
âI will kill you!â
He didnât dare do anything to Yu Ling, but he was going to kill Lan, since in his eyes, he thought Lan belonged to him.
âHow dare you.â
Jiang Moliang showed up all of a sudden when he was going to attack Lan. She said, âLan is an elite disciple of the Jiangs now. Just go ahead, if you are not afraid of the consequence.â
Han Zigao was instantly struck dumb. He saw how Yu Ling had reacted when Jiang Moliang had showed up just now.
He also knew how powerful the Jiangs were. He would definitely be killed if he did anything disrespectful to them.
âElite disciple?! Wasnât you...wasnât you bought to be a...?â
Gazing at Lan, Han Zigao could hardly believe it. Even if he slept with Yu Ling, the latter couldnât be comparable to an elite disciple of the Jiangs. Not to mention he didnât sleep with her.
âHow is it possible?â he murmured, as if he had been struck by thunderbolt.
âWhy isnât it possible?â
He heard a familiar voice. He looked up and saw Jiang Chen walking towards him.
âItâs you who bought Lan?â
Han Zigao suddenly tumbled to everything.
No wonder Lan had become an elite disciple of the Jiangs. She certainly wouldnât go away with him, since by doing that, she would have to give up this Young Master Jiang, whom even the Jiangs had to show respect to.
âNo. I only gave freedom back to Lan. I wonât buy or sell anyone,â Jiang Chen said in a cold tone.
