The National Goddess Reborn-Chapter 25 - Banquet

After Nian Yue rebuked him like that yesterday, he was so angry that he stayed up all night, with Wang Meihua serving him.

“Dad, don’t be angry…” Nian Yan ran over and hugged his arm intimately.” Yue Yue just came back. She is the Second Mistress of the Nian Family after all. If she doesn’t attend today’s banquet, the outsiders will say that Dad is ill-treating her…”

“When did I ill-treat her?! Without me, would she have been able to enter Jiang City No.1 Middle School!” Nian Chao was extremely displeased. He didn’t think that Nian Yue could have entered the school without his support.

However, Nian Chaoyu had forgotten that Nian Yue was able to enter the school based on her own abilities. It had nothing to do with her surname being Nian.

“Others can see clearly what our family has done, but Yue Yue might not think so.” Wang Meihua added fuel to the fire. It would be a pity if she did not use this opportunity!

“Let’s go, we don’t have to wait for her!” Nian Chaoyu’s face turned completely black as he turned around and left.

Wang Meihua and Nian Yan hurriedly followed behind. Their eyes met and they could see the triumph in each other’s eyes.

After what happened at the Li Family banquet previously, the Nian Family had been totally disgraced.

It would be strange if Nian Chaoyu brought her along this time!

It was already eight o’clock when Nian Yue came back from her run. She went back to her room to take a shower and saw Aunt Liu hesitating to speak. “Second Mistress, why are you still at home?”

“What’s the matter?” Nian Yue raised her eyebrows.

“Old Master and Elder Mistress have gone to the banquet. I thought you would be going too…” Aunt Liu explained. Seeing that Nian Yue was still here, she knew that Nian Yue had been left behind this time.

She felt sorry for Nian Yue. She was clearly the real eldest daughter of the Nian Family, yet she had been abandoned in the countryside from the moment she was born.

Nian Chaoyu brought Nian Yue back home only when she was 18 years old.

Everyone knew what he was thinking.

“No need.” Nian Yue sneered.

She had never treated those people from the Nian Family as family. Naturally, it had nothing to do with her.

Nian Yue had something to do when she went out today. Her lightning power was back, but her wood-elemental power was still weak.

The place yesterday was very helpful for her recovery of her wood-elemental power.

She needed to go there again today.

Not long after she left, she received a call from an unknown number. “Lass Nian, do you still remember who I am?”

A kind old man’s voice came through the phone.

“Old Master Yang?” Nian Yue raised her eyebrows.

” It’s great that you remember who I am.” Yang Kun laughed out loud. “The Yang Family is holding a banquet today. I thought that since I haven’t seen you for so long, could you do me the honor of coming over?”

Her relationship with Yang Kun was limited to the previous time she sold the jade piece at Gan Kun Hall. She did not expect Yang Kun to take the initiative to call her this time.

“Of course.” Nian Yue agreed readily.

“Alright then, I’ll get Xiao Zhao to fetch you.” Yang Kun laughed out loud. He had investigated Nian Yue and knew that the Nian Family did not treat her well, so he made this suggestion.

“Thank you.” Nian Yue smiled.

Taking a look at the time, Nian Yue saw that there was still some time before the banquet started. Nian Yue slowly walked back to the Nian Family’s house. When she reached the entrance, she saw a black car parked there.

“Miss Nian,” a man in his twenties, who was wearing a pair of golden spectacles, greeted Nian Yue respectfully.

“You are…” Nian Yue glanced at him.

” I’m Elder Yang’s senior secretary. You can call me Xiao Zhao. Today, I’ll bring you to attend the banquet.” Xiao Zhao was all smiles, but his voice was full of respect.

“Let’s go.” Nian Yue turned around and got into the car.

“No…” Xiao Zhao looked surprised. When other rich ladies said that they wanted to attend a banquet, they would dress up prettily to attract everyone’s attention.

However, Nian Yue was still wearing her school uniform. How could she go just like that?

“What’s the matter?” Nian Yue raised her eyebrows.

“No, no, no…” Xiao Zhao hurriedly shook his head.

The girl in front of him was cold and elegant. She only needed to raise her eyebrows to attract the attention of most people.

Such a young girl, could not hide her natural glow, regardless of what she wore.

At this moment, at the banquet, men and women dressed in glamorous clothes were chatting.

Banquets had always been used by upper-class society to maintain relationships.

The moment Nian Yan followed Nian Chaoyu and Wang Meihua in, she was surrounded by a group of people and the sound of their compliments lingered in her ears.

“This must be Yan Yan. She’s so pretty…”

“That’s right. If Yan Yan wasn’t so young, I would have asked her to be my daughter-in-law…”

…

The group of women praised her non-stop. This greatly satisfied Wang Meihua’s vanity.

Nian Yan, who was standing at the side, lowered her head shyly. However, her eyes were filled with sarcasm when no one noticed.

This kind of high society banquet had always been Nian Yan’s home ground.

Chen Yiran walked over. “Yan Yan.”

A hint of shyness flashed past Nian Yan’s eyes when she saw him. “Brother Yiran, you’re here too?”

“Yes.” Chen Yiran nodded. However, he subconsciously looked to her side. Nian Yue didn’t come?

“Brother Yiran, I was talking to you just now. Why didn’t you answer me…” Nian Yan bit her lip.

“Sorry, I didn’t hear you just now…” Chen Yiran smiled awkwardly.

What the hell? In the past, when Nian Yue pestered him, he would wish that she would die quickly. Now that he did not see her coming, he was actually looking out for her.

How could Nian Yan not see the disappointment in Chen Yiran’s eyes? Her nails dug into her palms. She knew that Nian Yue must have been the source of Chen Yiran’s distraction and cursed under her breath.

When Nian Yue arrived, the banquet in the hall had already begun. She attracted the attention of most people the moment she arrived.

“Which family is this young lady from? Why is she wearing her school uniform?”

“No, even if she’s wearing her school uniform, she’s still too beautiful!”

“Whose daughter is this? Why haven’t I seen her before?”

“Shh, can’t you see? Behind her is Elder Yang’s senior secretary…”

With this reminder, everyone fell silent.

More than 90% of those who could attend the banquet today were here for Yang Kun.

Since they were here, this group of people had already investigated Yang Kun thoroughly. How could they not know about Yang Kun’s senior secretary!

However, how influential was this young lady to make Secretary Zhao follow her respectfully?

But what happened next made everyone’s jaws drop!
