Ye Nian felt conflicted and somewhat at a loss. Staying here would be awkward, but leaving like this would be even more awkward.
But there's no other way right now. If Jiang Duoduo goes back early and she hasn't gotten home yet, her mother might think she's being naughty.
That won't do!
Thinking of this, Ye Nian steeled herself and left.
As soon as she stepped out the door, she wanted to hurry up and catch up with Jiang Duoduo, but to her surprise, she saw Jiang Duoduo being blocked against the wall by Ji Yue right at the door. Her brows furrowed!
Ji Yue's patience was wearing thin as he waited for Duo Duo's reply. Unable to bear the torment any longer, he leaned closer, his voice hoarse and low, "Hmm? Answer me."
Jiang Duoduo lowered her eyes. How could she answer him?
If Ji Yue finds out what Gu Yan said to her, she will only suffer a worse fate!
She was surrounded by Ji Yue's unique scent. Jiang Duoduo caught a faint whiff of alcohol and cautiously, with a last shred of stubbornness, said, "He didn't tell me anything. Ji Yue, you're drunk."
At this critical juncture, she cannot back down, otherwise she will fall into Ji Yue's hands and suffer the same fate as the original owner, losing her life!
Ji Yue didn't believe her at all and asked her again, "Really?"
"Yes." Jiang Duoduo nodded heavily.
What Gu Yan whispered in her ear was actually, "Duoduo is getting more and more supple." The ambiguous "supple" referred to her waist.
As Gu Yan spoke, he deliberately tightened his grip on her, and thinking about it, Jiang Duoduo's cheeks couldn't help but burn.
Ye Nian, who had been watching the two of them coldly from the side, realized that her light cough was completely ineffective in rousing them from their reverie, so she could only speak up to break their reverie, "Duo Duo, it's time to go back!"
Ji Yue noticed Ye Nian's presence, and out of consideration for her taking sides, he merely glared at her coldly and took a step back.
...
Under Ji Yue's escort, Jiang Duoduo and Ye Nian returned to the Jiang family home.
As soon as she returned, Ye Nian gave Jiang Duoduo a hard time.
Ye Nian was truly puzzled. Jiang Duoduo was just a country bumpkin who had taken over the family's place; she was the real daughter of the Jiang family!
She came back to enjoy a life of luxury, okay?
She came back to take back everything that was hers, okay?
I didn't come back to be bullied by Jiang Duoduo!
Thinking about how I lost face at Bulgari today, witnessed Jiang Duoduo being fought over by two boys, and so on...
Jiang Duoduo originally wanted to invite Ye Nian to her room to chat and fall asleep together.
Before she could even extend an invitation, she saw Ye Nian inexplicably frowning, deliberately making loud stomping noises in her slippers as she walked step by step towards the second floor... It seemed like, it seemed like she was angry?
It must be my imagination!
Duoduo blinked her innocent peach blossom eyes, watching Ye Nian disappear from sight. Oh dear! She wasn't even angry, so why was Ye Nian angry?

The next day.
On the first day of the official start of school, the campus forum at A Middle School has been bustling since last night.
It started with the topic #JiangDuoduo'sBackground# and then escalated to #JiYue and GuYanSurpriseAppearanceAtXuHaochen'sBirthdayBanquet#, giving all the students in the school a thorough discussion.
Many female classmates who envied, were jealous of, and hated Jiang Duoduo even stayed up all night to complain and smear her.
When Jiang Duoduo learned about this, she remained calm.
After last night's storm, what can we call these things now?
Was it as scary as last night?
Obviously not!
