Chapter 2: Starting with Her
1338 Words
Qian Yu Yun arrived with Fan Yun.
Fan Yun was a serious man, and seeing her nestled in the old man’s arms, he frowned immediately.
“You’re all grown up and still acting so childish. How inappropriate!”
Before Qi Nian Yun could respond, Old Master Ye was already displeased.
“What’s wrong with my granddaughter being a little spoiled with me? You’re not old, but your mindset is quite outdated. No wonder Nian Nian isn’t close to you.”
As he spoke, he pulled Qi Nian Yun away to the other side.
“Nian Nian, let’s ignore him. Grandpa will introduce you to some friends.”
Qi Nian Yun obediently followed Old Master Ye, and soon, Jing Chen Gu was also taken away by Qian Yu Yun’s second uncle, Cheng Feng Ye.
Qian Yu Yun stood where she was, managing a forced smile.
“Dad, my sister is still young and doesn’t understand things. Please don’t blame her.”
Fan Yun, who had been indifferent before, immediately turned stern upon hearing this.
“Married and still so immature? She must have been spoiled!”
With a cold face, he walked away. Qian Yu Yun slightly lowered her gaze, a smirk of triumph curling at the corners of her mouth.
Old Master Ye proudly showcased his precious granddaughter to his old friends until everyone had met her before letting her go.
Qi Nian Yun finally saw a chance to look for Jing Chen Gu but was stopped by Qian Yu Yun.
She sneakily pulled Qi Nian Yun into a corner and asked with concern, “Nian Nian, did Jing Chen Gu do anything to you after he took you back last night?”
Qi Nian Yun rolled her eyes, “Nothing happened.”
“That’s good. Do you know I was almost scared to death when I heard the news? I was really afraid…”
At this point, her gaze suddenly fell on Qi Nian Yun’s neck.
Her previously gentle tone turned sharply.
“What’s that on your neck?”
Qi Nian Yun instinctively covered her neck.
It took just a second for her to understand.
Even though Jing Chen Gu was usually very accommodating, as if he would unconditionally tolerate whatever she did, he had his own principles and limits. Qi Nian Yun running off with another man had obviously crossed that line.
Last night, he had kept her in bed, turning her over and over again, no matter how much she begged or struggled. That was when she realized that this man also had a temper. He just usually kept it in check because of his love for her.
What Qian Yu Yun saw must have been the kiss marks from last night that the concealer couldn’t completely hide!
Qi Nian Yun feigned disappointment.
“What else could it be? You’re an adult, you should understand.”
Qian Yu Yun’s eyes widened.
“So… did you two sleep together last night?”
Qi Nian Yun nodded.
She lowered her gaze but didn’t miss the flash of jealousy and anger in Qian Yu Yun’s eyes.
“He went too far! How could he do that to you? Don’t worry, I won’t let this go. I’ve thought of a way that might make him agree to a divorce.”
Qi Nian Yun raised an eyebrow, intrigued.
“What method?”
“You two had relations, right? Later, accuse him of marital rape in front of everyone. Embarrass him publicly, and he might get so angry that he agrees to the divorce.”
Qi Nian Yun watched her quietly.
Hearing the same lines as in her past life, she couldn’t help but think how foolish she had been back then.
Accepting such a ridiculous suggestion was no wonder she ended up dead in his hands.
She smiled slightly, “Alright.”
Qian Yu Yun was relieved to hear her agreement.
“Drink a glass of wine to steady your nerves. Otherwise, you might get nervous later.”
She took a glass of wine from the side.
Qi Nian Yun looked at the glass of wine, remembering how it had once led her down a path of disgrace in her past life.
This time, she had no intention of drinking it.
She smiled, “But I haven’t eaten anything today. Drinking on an empty stomach might hurt my stomach. Could you bring me a plate of snacks instead?”
Qian Yu Yun hesitated.
She had added something to the wine. Although she was sure Qi Nian Yun wouldn’t know, she was still worried about potential mistakes.
Just as she was about to persuade her again, Qi Nian Yun pouted defiantly.
“If I don’t get any food, I won’t drink it. Besides, I don’t need wine to steady my nerves, hmph!”
Qian Yu Yun panicked and quickly changed her mind, “Okay, okay, I’ll get you some snacks right away. Just wait.”
She put down the wine glass and hurried off to the dining area.
Qi Nian Yun watched her leave, her gaze shifting to Lin Yuan nearby.
Lin Yuan, Qian Yu Yun’s mother, was a good friend of her mother Ye Wan Xin. After her friend’s death, she seduced her husband, caused her daughter’s death, and seized her family’s fortune…
She was quite a ruthless character!
In that case, let’s start with you!
Qi Nian Yun casually walked behind her, seizing the chance when no one was watching to switch their glasses.
Then she took out a small packet of white powder from her bag, tore it open, and poured all of it into the glass of wine before casually returning.
At that moment, Qian Yu Yun came back.
She brought a plate of leftover snacks from someone else but said, “Nian Nian, I wasn’t sure what you liked, so I took a bit of everything. Just eat up.”
Qi Nian Yun glanced coldly, “No need. I don’t like these. I’ll just drink the wine.”
She then drank the wine in one gulp.
Qian Yu Yun was momentarily stunned. Although she was annoyed that Qi Nian Yun had called her only to refuse everything, at least she drank the wine, achieving her goal.
She then softened her expression and smiled, “If you don’t want to eat, then fine. Just don’t forget to bring up what happened last night when you get on stage.”
Qi Nian Yun remained noncommittal.
Soon, the host announced the start of the banquet.
Old Master Ye loved lively events and always invited many celebrities to perform at the birthday party. He also had guests who were skilled in music and dance perform on stage. Today, he had arranged a piano solo for Qi Nian Yun.
In her past life, Qi Nian Yun hated such arrangements.
Even though she played the piano well, she disliked being called up to perform in front of elders, feeling like a gorilla on display in a zoo.
Only until her death did she realize that it was Old Master Ye’s way of showing his love for his precious granddaughter, wanting more people to see her shine on stage.
The host soon called her name.
Qi Nian Yun lifted her skirt and walked onto the stage.
She wore a long red dress today. The intricate lace collar reached her neck, yet it didn’t hide her glamorous elegance.
Her beautiful swan neck shone under the lights, made even more striking by the red dress, which contrasted her porcelain-like skin.
As soon as she appeared on stage, she received many admiring applauses.
It was well known that the eldest daughter of the Yun family was not only talented but also as beautiful as a fairy. Today’s sight confirmed the reputation.
Qian Yu Yun listened to the murmurs of the guests around her, her fingers clenched in anger.
Talented, huh?
Beautiful as a fairy, huh?
She wanted to see how Qi Nian Yun’s stubborn and unreasonable side would be received when she showed it on stage!
