CHAPTER 1212: CHAPTER 240: ONE ARROW, THREE VULTURES; KILLING WITH A BORROWED KNIFE (PART 3)

Until it got dark, Yan Hua noticed Yun Ya looked tired and stood up, saying: "Xingxing, we’ve troubled Yun Ya all day, we should go back."

"Wait a moment, I haven’t finished this problem yet." Yan Xing was writing furiously.

"Finish it later at home."

Yan Xing belatedly realized, quickly stood up: "Sister Yun Ya, I’ve benefited greatly from studying with you all day, I’ll come over after school tomorrow, hehe, goodnight Sister Yun Ya." She said and then ran off with her textbooks.

Yan Hua smiled at Yun Ya and said: "We’ve troubled you all day today, I’ve seen Xingxing’s significant progress, thank you very much."

"Do we need to say thank you between us? Xingxing is such a sweet and innocent girl, I think of her as my little sister. I get lonely being here by myself, I’m grateful to have your company."

"Well then, you take care, I’ll be off now."

After Yan Hua and Yan Xing left, Yun Ya propped her head with one hand, rubbing her temples.

Ah Yun walked in, made a cup of calming tea for Yun Ya, and started massaging her shoulders: "Miss, after how Miss Xing treated you before, why are you still tutoring her?"

"She’s just a child, why hold a grudge against a child?" Yun Ya smiled lightly.

"Was there anything happening today?" Yun Ya raised her eyebrow and asked.

"That Li Xiaoxiao, she’s been hovering around outside all day. I heard when she knew Miss Xing and Miss Hua were here, she didn’t dare to come in. Who knows what she’s scheming."

Tomorrow, Yan Xing and Yan Hua should go back to school, and Li Xiaoxiao will probably visit by then.

Yun Ya glanced at the time, a little past six, still early.

She got up: "Let’s go, I’ll go check on Great-Grandfather."

After chatting with Great-Grandfather for a while, Yun Ya walked out of Rongju Garden, and a man came swaggering towards her. Seeing Yun Ya, his eyes lit up.

"Just been to see Great-Grandfather?"

Yun Ya gave a gentle smile: "Seventh Uncle."

She spoke and was about to pass by the man and leave.

The man glanced sidelong at the girl, her skin really so pale it glowed, her aura high and luscious, elegant and noble, enveloped in a mysterious and ethereal charm that could make any man’s heart stir.

"Yun Ya, um, allow me to call you that. I heard you shone brilliantly at yesterday’s auction, there’s word going around that Eldest Young Master Yan’s fiancée is beautiful, kind-hearted, learned, and multi-talented, making many men envious."

As the man spoke, he leaned slightly toward Yun Ya, took a deep breath, "What a lovely fragrance, a pure maiden’s scent."

Yun Ya’s brows slightly knitted, stepping back, her brows gaining a frosty edge, her eyes a deep pool of icy chill: "Seventh Uncle, you flatter me, Aunt Zhuang is waiting for me, I must go."

With that, she turned and quickly walked away.

This man was so greasy and repulsive; just being around him was unbearable. When I get back, I must shower and burn these clothes.

The man, seeing the disgust in the young girl’s eyes, put his hands in his pockets, continued watching her slender and graceful back, as a trace of dim light crossed his eyes.

"Haha, Ah Song certainly is lucky."

"Such a stunning being, you’d better not even think about it, you don’t have that sort of fortune." Pei Xinyi emerged from the shadows.

Yan Nangui let out a cold laugh: "What is fortune? If I want something, what kind of woman can’t I have?"

"Would you dare to touch this woman?" Pei Xinyi’s eyes gleamed with dim light, quietly assessing the man, the thick night’s obscurity making his face unclear.

"I’m interested, but I’m afraid Third Brother would chop me to pieces, that little wolf has grown...."

"The second branch is formidable, but since when were you afraid?" The woman’s tone was mocking.

The man’s eyes narrowed slightly, pulling the woman into Plum Forest, the woman leaned against the tree trunk, brows knitting with pain, as the next moment the man hovered over her, his eyes glowing with a cold light, his large hand clamped onto her chin, forcefully lifting her face.

"Trying to provoke me, are you? Go back and tell the old hag, the Yan family is not hers to stir up storms."

Pei Xinyi clawed at the tree trunk with her hands, her body shivering, this man was terrifying, she had never seen through him, her heart raced uncontrollably, her eyes stubbornly fixed on him: "I don’t understand what you’re saying."

Yan Nangui raised an eyebrow, patted Pei Xinyi’s face, and sneered: "Fourth Brother is truly pitiful. His own mother and wife scheming against him. Even more pathetic, he has to raise another’s daughter. What do you think will happen if Fourth Brother finds out?"

Pei Xinyi stared hard at him: "What do you know?"

Yan Nangui curved his lips: "When the old hag sent you to find me, did she not tell you what it’s like to skin a tiger?"

Pei Xinyi’s body couldn’t help but shudder, the man suddenly leaned forward onto her chest, Pei Xinyi closed her eyes, yet the man abruptly stopped, took out a white handkerchief and slowly wiped his mouth: "Everyone says I’m lustful and promiscuous, yet they don’t know I have no interest in second-hand goods used by others. The old hag knows little about me." With that, he coldly laughed and walked away.
