The gigolo kept by the matriarch turned out to be the heir to a wealthy family.

Chapter 87 called Yunyun to be a shrewd strategist.

The tears that slid down Lian Shen's cheeks landed on Qiao Yunan's hand, and an aura of despair enveloped her.

"Master, please spare me, I beg you."

Qiao Yunan's handsome brows furrowed slightly, finding her extremely offensive at that moment.

"Lian Shen, you're getting more and more insensible." He tossed her chin away, pulled a tissue from the table, and wiped his fingers with a hint of disgust.

Lian Shen felt reborn. He suppressed his panicked and pained gaze and immediately knelt in front of Qiao Yunan.

"Thank you, Master." Lian Shen lowered his head, his eyes vacant.

Qiao Yunan threw a tissue in her face, pulled over a swivel chair and sat down, raising his legs and putting them on Lian Shen's shoulders.

"Tell me, what other good news can you bring me?" A bloodthirsty smile crept onto Qiao Yunan's devilishly handsome face.

Lian Shen didn't dare to breathe loudly, afraid of displeasing Qiao Yunan and getting kicked in the face the next second.

"Reporting to Master, three days from now is Madam Su's 80th birthday banquet, and I have also sent you a copy of the invitation."

Qiao Yunan fiddled with the pen in his hand, and it took him a long time to respond to Lian Shen.

"Go and prepare a lavish gift. I want everyone in the capital to be amazed by my present." Qiao Yunan's words carried a sinister undertone.

Lian Shen accepted the order and only left in a hurry after Qiao Yunan put his feet down.

……

Yonsei International.

Chen Dong looked at Su Yuchen, whose face was full of gloom, and didn't know what to say for a moment.

The master clearly cares about Miss Yun, so why does he have to make their relationship so strained? He hasn't seen Miss Yun for several days now.

Su Yuchen stared blankly at the computer screen for a long time, so long that Chen Dong was almost dozing off.

"Where is she now?"

Chen Dong was jolted awake, dispelling all his drowsiness.

"Master, are you referring to Miss Yun?"

"Ah."

Chen Dong paused for a moment, then quickly took out his phone to look at the screen.

"What are you looking for?" Su Yuchen was surrounded by a sense of loneliness.

"Oh, after Miss Yun's standardized test results were revealed, she became comparable to a top-tier celebrity. Although I don't know why she became so popular, it's true. Her whereabouts were exposed by paparazzi online, so it's not difficult to find her," Chen Dong said while scrolling through his phone.

Su Yuchen gripped the armrests tightly with both hands, his knuckles turning white.

For some reason, he felt a pang of worry for Yun Yao, who was in the eye of the storm. Even though he loathed himself for this, he was helpless; he simply couldn't control his emotions.

"Master, Miss Yun Yao should be at Imperial University by now." Chen Dong handed his phone to Su Yuchen.

The woman in the photo is standing at the entrance of Imperial University, with waist-length hair and a graceful figure that sparks endless imagination.

Although it was just a glimpse of her back, Su Yuchen was certain that the person in the photo was Yun Yao.

Before Chen Dong could speak, Su Yuchen stood up, draped his coat over his arm, and strode outside.

"Master, where are you going?"

"No need to follow."

……

Yun Yao didn't expect that being too popular would also be a problem. She was followed wherever she went, and even returning to school couldn't prevent it.

The same number of people who previously criticized her character now cast envious and jealous glances at her.

Many people also had the idea of ​​befriending Yun Yao. After all, W International was now at its peak, and the Yun family's wealth was also rising. There was no harm in befriending her.

"Yun Yao, you look so pretty in your clothes today! What brand are they?" A sweet-looking girl approached Yun Yao and asked with a smile.

You can't hit someone who's smiling, and Yun Yao is no exception.

"No brand."

The girl's face darkened, somewhat displeased with Yun Yao's response. However, given Yun Yao's current influence, she swallowed her anger.

"That must be custom-made, it really suits you!"

Yun Yao lost patience with their pretense and simply walked past them.

She thought she could finally have some peace and quiet, but she never expected to meet someone who would cause her even more headaches.

Several handsome men and beautiful women walking towards her almost blinded her old eyes.

Surrounded by the crowd, Bai Mengyan wore a lotus-root-colored dress that not only accentuated her figure beautifully but also concealed some of her alluring charm, making her look like an innocent young flower.

Of course, this is how Bai Mengyan is seen by others. In Yun Yao's eyes, she is no different from a white lotus that has become a spirit.

To Bai Mengyan's left was Yun Xinru, who had a delicate and lively appearance. She was affectionately holding Bai Mengyan's arm, chatting and laughing.

As for the one who caught Yun Yao's eye, it was Su Feng, standing to Bai Mengyan's right. His face was full of reluctance, yet he had no choice but to follow behind them as their protector.

Su Feng saw Yun Yao, and for some reason, a hint of embarrassment flashed across his face.

"Bai Mengyan, I have other matters to attend to, so I cannot keep you company." Su Feng lowered his voice, his expression extremely unpleasant.

Bai Mengyan glanced at Su Feng beside her, her tone unfriendly.

"Brother, I've been bullied, and you not only didn't stand up for me, but now you're running away? What, are you afraid of Yun Yao?"

Su Feng clenched his fists at his sides, his eyes filled with unyielding disgust.

"Bai Mengyan, do you feel uncomfortable if you don't stir up trouble between other people?"

Bai Mengyan covered her mouth and chuckled, her peach blossom eyes shimmering with endless charm.

"Su Feng, so what if it is or it isn't? Do you have a choice? Don't forget our agreement."

Su Feng's clenched fist gradually loosened, and a sense of powerlessness washed over him.

"Just this once."

"nature."

Yun Xinru followed beside her, unable to get a word in edgewise. She felt that Bai Mengyan was not as kind and gentle as the rumors suggested.

But she quickly suppressed the panic in her heart. So what? As long as Bai Mengyan could deal with that bitch Yun Yao, that would be good!

"Sister Mengyan, look, isn't that my sister!" Yun Xinru's voice suddenly rose, causing a stir in the crowd.

Yun Yao: "..." This little brat is acting up again. Why call her Yun Xinru? She should be called Yun the Drama Queen!

Yun Yao confidently faced the crowd's scrutiny, gently smoothing the strands of hair behind her ear.

"What's wrong, my dear sister?" Yun Yao asked in a raised tone, putting on a show of sisterly affection.

Although Yun Xinru was surprised by Yun Yao's reaction, she quickly got into character.

Pulling his hand out of Bai Mengyan's arms, he walked towards Yun Yao with a joyful expression, and before Yun Yao could react, he grabbed her hand.

Yun Yao: "..." Damn it, this is worse than swallowing a dead fly.

"Yun Xinru, you've got some nerve, haven't you? Let go." Yun Yao broke down in an instant, gritting her teeth as she said this.

However, her voice wasn't loud, which could be considered Yun Yao's last act of courtesy to Yun Xinru.

But Yun Xinru seemed not to hear her and pulled Yun Yao's hand even tighter.

"Sister, you got first place! That's amazing!" Yun Xinru said, though she didn't mean it.

Yun Yao was currently contemplating whether or not to slap Yun Xinru into the ground, and couldn't hear what she was saying.
