5: Donât You Know Best Where I Went Yesterday?
Editor: Dragon Boat Translation âAre you out there hanging out with those bad friends of yours again?â An Yaoqing angrily glared at Nan Yan as she walked in.
However, as he saw her current appearance, he suddenly froze for a moment.
He was used to seeing her exaggerated makeup every day, but seeing her bare face now, the words of reproach got stuck in his throat.
Thisâ¦
was his own daughter?
She had inherited all the good qualities of him and his wife!
âDad, donât blame Yanyan.
Itâs normal for her to be playful at her age, as long as she doesnât go overboardâ¦â An Muyao pretended to be surprised, deliberately drawing An Yaoqingâs attention to Nan Yan fooling around with a man.
As her gaze fell on Nan Yanâs cool and beautiful face, a hint of jealousy appeared in her eyes.
Her own looks could only be considered above average.
Over the years, she had secretly done some cosmetic enhancement.
With the gentle and intellectual aura that she had created, people would think that she was a beauty.
But compared to Nan Yanâs stunning beauty, she immediately paled in comparison.
Damn it.
Why did she remove her makeup?
Didnât she listen to her the most?
She thought that she looked good and didnât even remove her makeup when she slept every day.
Nan Yan ignored An Yaoqing and sneered at An Muyao, her eyes filled with disdain.
âDonât you know best where I went yesterday?â An Muyao met her overly cold and beautiful gaze and felt a panic in her heart.
She quickly averted her eyes.
âHow would I know where you went?â She gritted her teeth and forced a smile.
âYou went out to play, I didnât follow youâ¦â âIs that so?â A trace of coldness flashed in Nan Yanâs eyes as she mockingly said, âBut according to them, it was you who told me to go, so I went with them.â An Muyao looked bewildered.
âWhen did I ask someone to call you?â This little b*tch dared to say these things in front of Dad.
Sheâs really looking for trouble!
Nan Yan couldnât be bothered to argue with her and was about to go upstairs when An Muyaoâs phone rang.
She took out her phone, and her expression changed slightly as she tried to hang up the call.
A slender, fair hand reached over and snatched her phone away.
âWhat are you doing?â An Muyaoâs heart raced.
âNan Yan, why did you snatch Yaoyaoâs phone?
Give it back to her immediately,â An Yaoqing scolded.
âDonât worry, Iâll give it back soon.â Under An Muyaoâs nervous and anxious gaze, Nan Yan directly answered the call and put it on speakerphone.
Zhang Daqianâs greasy and nauseating voice came through, âMiss An, Nan Yan ran away from me yesterday.
Can you see if you can find a chance to lure her out again?â An Muyaoâs face suddenly became flustered.
She disregarded everything and wanted to snatch back her phone.
A faint smile curved at the corner of Nan Yanâs lips as she easily pushed An Muyao away.
In a low voice, she said to the person on the phone, âCEO Zhang, you were lucky yesterday.
If you do it again, believe it or not, Iâll make you regret it for the rest of your life.â What if she woke up in Zhang Daqianâs room?
Estimating the situation, Zhang Daqian wouldnât have the leisure to call An Muyao now.
âAre youâ¦
Nan Yan?â After a second of confusion, Zhang Daqianâs voice turned angry, âYou little b*tch, itâs your fortune that I took a liking to you, and you dare to run away!â Nan Yan sneered and hung up the phone, tossing it back at An Muyao.
The phone hit An Muyao and fell to the ground, but she didnât dare to pick it up.
âWhatâs going on here?â An Yaoqing wasnât a fool.
The words from the phone call with Zhang Daqian and what Nan Yan said made his expression turn fierce.
An Muyaoâs face turned pale.
âDad, let me explain, itâs not like thatâ¦â As for An Xiran, who had just entered the door, he didnât hear the earlier conversation, but he clearly heard the phone call from Zhang Daqian.
Therefore⦠He met Nan Yan outside the Lantis Hotel.
Did An Muyao trick her into going there, hoping she would be bullied by Zhang Daqian?
An Xiran instinctively looked at Nan Yan, but she had already turned and headed upstairs without a second glance.
An Muyao forced herself to calm down and spoke hesitantly, âDad, I just thought that since Yan Yan doesnât excel academically and has questionable character, no one in our respectable family would want her as a match.â âCEO Zhang contacted me earlier and said he really likes Yanyan and wants to marry her.
Our family and the Zhang family have a cooperative relationship in real estate, and they can be considered a suitable match for us.
If she marries CEO Zhang, she would become a wealthy wife.
And through this marriage, we can gain more benefits from CEO Zhang in the real estate industryâ¦â âDad, Iâm sorry for not discussing this with you, but my intention was for the sake of the An family!â The An family had entered the real estate industry two years ago, but their initial investments had gone in vain, yielding no returns.
Many people were waiting to see the An familyâs failure.
If it werenât for this reason, An Yaoqing wouldnât have chosen to collaborate with Zhang Daqian.
After hearing An Muyaoâs explanation, An Yaoqingâs anger subsided.
After all, she was his daughter whom he had cherished for eighteen years.
How could he bear to scold her?
Besides, Nan Yan hadnât been mistreated.
Thinking of this, An Yaoqing spoke with seriousness, âYaoyao, you must never contact CEO Zhang again.
Regardless of how unworthy Yanyan may seem, she is still my daughter.
Sheâs only eighteen years old, how can she marry that abusive man, Zhang Daqian?â An Muyao secretly clenched her fists and nodded obediently, âI understand, Dad.â âIs your phone broken?
If it is, Iâll buy you a new one.â âNo, Dad, my phone is fine.
Iâll go back to my room now.â âGo aheadâ¦â An Xiran watched their conversation with an expressionless face.
Suddenly, he felt that this scene was so absurd.
He had always thought that his sister was innocent and kind-hearted, but she had actually schemed against Nan Yan and tried to give her away to Zhang Daqian.
If Nan Yan hadnât escaped, what would she be like now?
What was An Muyao thinking when she wanted to make an innocent girl pay for the An familyâs wrong investment?
This girl was their lost sister for sixteen years, someone they owed for sixteen years!
An Xiran felt an urge to comfort Nan Yan, who had been frightened and neglected by everyone.
With that in mind, he went upstairs.
âFourth Brother, youâre back?â An Muyao showed no remorse and greeted him with a bright smile.
In the past, he would have thought she was obedient and sensible.
Even though he wasnât close to her and didnât have deep feelings for her, he treated her with gentleness.
But now, he didnât want to pay her any attention at all.
An Xiran directly bypassed her and hurriedly went upstairs.
An Muyaoâs expression froze, and then she plaintively said to An Yaoqing, âDad, is Fourth Brother mad at me?â An Yaoqing comforted her, âHow is that possible?
I think your Fourth Brother probably has something important on his mind and is in a hurry.
Donât overthink it.â âReally?â âYes.â The conversation between father and daughter downstairs reached An Xiranâs ears, making him feel even more agitated.
Standing in front of Nan Yanâs room, he raised his hand and knocked on the door.
After a while, the door opened, and Nan Yan looked at him with indifference.
âWhat do you want?â An Xiran felt uneasy under her overly cold and distant gaze.
He averted his eyes and asked softly, âCan I come in?â
