Chapter 85: Chapter 62: Brimming with the Spirit of Youth
Three days later, quickly arrived the evening of the party.
Ye Bolin had informed Liu Yan in advance to hold back Li Jingzhou and come later.
If Li Jingzhou and Bai Shilan met earlier, Bai Shilan would certainly abandon her original plan, and that would be less fun.
They needed to let Bai Shilan expose her true self and then have Li Jingzhou witness it with his own eyes—only then would it be entertaining.
Liu Yan couldn’t have hoped for a better spectacle and naturally agreed at once.
Night fell.
The Ye Family’s residence was brilliantly lit.
Luxury cars filled the entrance, and esteemed individuals began to arrive one after another.
Dressed to the nines, Bai Shilan also made her way to the Ye Family.
As she entered the grand hall, the dazzling lights momentarily blinded her, and a hint of envious light flickered in her eyes.
Indeed, the Ye Family was extraordinary.
She had seen quite a bit of the world with Li Jingzhou.
However, Li Jingzhou never took her to significant events, and he certainly didn’t introduce her to people of true status.
At those times, the person by his side was always Liu Yan.
Liu Yan was the one he planned to be with for life.
As for herself, she was no more than an expendable canary.
Bai Shilan wallowed in self-pity for a moment before quickly rallying her spirits.
Hadn’t she already resolved to leave Li Jingzhou?
Now was her chance.
She had always liked Ye Lin, and now she discovered that Ye Lin was actually the second son of the Ye Family. In terms of status and position, he was not inferior to Li Jingzhou at all.
If she could secure Ye Lin, she wouldn’t have to be caged anymore.
Bai Shilan’s eyes shifted as she started to look for Ye Lin’s figure.
From the moment Bai Shilan entered, Ye Xiao had taken out her sunflower seeds, ready to watch the drama unfold while cracking them.
She definitely wanted to direct a spectacular and moving show today.
She was just about to start.
Suddenly.
A hand reached over, “Share some?”
Ye Xiao looked up to see Gu Yan’s fox-like eyes.
She couldn’t help but roll her eyes but still handed him a handful of sunflower seeds.
Gu Yan sat down next to Ye Xiao, and together they turned to watch Bai Shilan, looking like two snack-munching hamsters.
Ye Xiao couldn’t resist glancing at Gu Yan, “Tell me, how do you manage to find me even when I’m hiding in a corner?”
Gu Yan replied nonchalantly, “Didn’t I say I have a crush on you? Since I do, I can obviously spot you in an instant.”
Ye Xiao rolled her eyes dramatically, “Do you think I believe any of that nonsense?”
[I’d rather believe that you and my older brother are engaged in some torrid love-hate relationship.]
Gu Yan’s expression stiffened for a moment before he spoke emotionlessly, “It seems Berlin has been quite close to Liu Yan recently?”
“Are you jealous?” Ye Xiao asked instinctively.
The next moment.
She quickly covered her mouth.
Damn it, why did she speak her mind out loud?
Gu Yan gave her a look that was both smiling yet not, “Guess what, if your older brother finds out that your head is filled with these thoughts all the time, do you think he’ll grab you and lecture you for three days and nights?”
At that.
It was Ye Xiao’s turn to be stiff.
She had experienced Ye Bolin’s preachy skills firsthand.
Even dad and mom couldn’t stand it, let alone her.
After thinking for a bit, Ye Xiao solemnly passed another handful of seeds, “Here, hush money.”
Gu Yan found it a bit amusing but took them anyway, “Deal.”
With tacit understanding, they continued to shift their gaze, ready for the show to unfold.
