At the Yao Family home.

  Grandfather Ruan and Ruan Sheng came to visit the Yao Family Household. They went over the normal formalities and immediately explained the purpose of their visit.

  Yao Yuan had initially assumed that there was something important for the two most important figures of the Ruan Family to come into his home. It seemed that he was right.

  As soon as he had listened to their entire story, he nodded. “I’ll be honest with you. While Yao Tang is staying at my home, she is simply my niece.” “She may have had a bad record, but she was young then. My late brother and sister-in-law couldn’t control her,” he slowly said. “As for what you’ve told me about Ran Ran, you have to note that she had only said those things unintentionally. It’s your daughter who had taken it the wrong way.” Old Man Ruan’s eyes flashed.

  It seemed that they were really trying to leave Yao Ran out of the picture. He clenched his fists.

  While a part of him wanted to kick the man for feigning innocence, the old simply sighed. “Well, as you can see, we have no other choice but to come for your assistance. Yao Tang has clearly been bullying my granddaughter. She wants to expel her.”


  “Yes, Yao Tang had truly gone too far.”


  Yao Yuan drummed his fingers onto the chair. “She had always been too strong for her own good. I just didn’t expect that she’d still have this temper after so many years.” “Let’s not talk about this now.” Ruan Sheng bowed his head. “Please help us on this. If Yao Tang wants compensation for the wrongs my daughter had committed, we’ll be happy to satisfy her.”


  Compensation? His eyes lit up. “Don’t worry. I’ll ask Yao Tang not to pursue this matter.”


  Hearing this, Ruan Sheng shook his hand gratefully. “Thank you for your troubles.”


  “You’re too kind.” It seemed that his daughter had brought him a few benefits after all. The smile in his eyes became more genuine as he followed them out.

  As soon as the Ruan Family had left, Yao Ran stepped down the stairs.

  “Dad,” Yao Ran called out softly. “I didn’t expect my sister to be so ruthless that she’d ask for Ruan Qing’s expulsion.”


  “You’re still too naive, Ran Ran. Although the Ruan family had just entered society, their business offers countless opportunities. They had also donated a building to No. 1 High School. The administrative team is simply wanting to fork out more money from the Ruan Family. That’s why they came to us.” “Oh.”


  In her heart, Yao Ran knew that this matter was not as simple as her father had presumed. The scene of Meng Yangand Yao Tangtalking flashed across her mind.

  Was Meng Yang helping her?

  Or was it the mysterious man beside her?

  Was the Meng Family backing her? No, she’s probably overthinking it! It was just a pity that she couldn’t kick Yao Tang out of school this time around.

  She had initially thought that Yao Tang wouldn’t be able to stay in school given her troublesome attitude. But now…She chewed on her bottom lip.

  She had truly underestimated her. It seemed that she must look for another way.

  After finishing his cup of tea, Yao Yuan gazed at his daughter. “Call Yao Tangand ask her to come home. I have something I want to ask

  her.”


  “Of course.”


  Meng Yang had brought everyone back to the Meng FamilyVilla. Everyone sat in the living room as they were offered tea, coffee, and milk.

  Yao Tang sat on the sofa with her legs crossed. Her beautiful face was expressionless, as usual. She held her phone to her chest, far too immersed in her game. The big incident that had just transpired almost appeared as if it had no effect on her.

  Mrs. Meng pursed her lips. Now that Ruan Qingwas at risk of facing expulsion, it seemed that the Yao Familyand Ruan Family would be in hot waters with one another.

  Expelled students of No.1 High School would never be able to find a school again.

  The only option was to go abroad.

  Even then, the schools that were left for them there wouldn’t be up to par with their current prospects. Not only would there be limited opportunities, but they’d also bring shame to the entire family.

  The Ruan family wouldn’t be giving up on their descendant that easily.

  Yao Tang was truly ruthless.

  Meng Yang found that trait to be quite admirable.

  She was awesome!

  After Cheng Yan had received a call, he glanced at her. “The Ruan family had gone to the Yao familyfor assistance.”


  “Hm, quite fast.” Meng Yang raised his eyebrows, snorting. Seeing that Yao Tangwas playing games, he said, “I’ve already arranged everything here. I can send an attorney to the Ruan Family at any time to demand justice. The lawsuit will definitely win.”


  “Hm,” she acknowledged with a nod. Even then, one couldn’t hide the wickedness and arrogance in her eyes. It’s as if she had already won the game.

  As soon as they had finished speaking, a caller ID popped up on her screen.

  Yao Ran.

  Rolling her eyes, Yao Tang hung up the phone and continued to play her game. It was as if nothing had happened.

  Cheng Yan had been sitting beside her this entire time. As soon as he saw her screen, the corners of his lips inched upwards.
