CHAPTER 98: CHAPTER 98: SU MINGYUE

But how could these things stump Tong Yan?

Tong Yan walked straight into the courtyard, brought over a stool, and slammed it against the door.

However, the door didn’t show any signs of breaking.

So, hit it again?

Just as Tong Yan was about to hit it again, the door opened.

An older woman came out from inside, wearing a dark red embroidered cheongsam that highlighted her graceful figure. Her hair was up, and she wore heavy makeup that gave her a certain charm.

She was Su Guoqiang’s wife, Lin Jiaojiao.

Lin Jiaojiao was taken aback when she saw Tong Yan, clearly not expecting it to be her. "What wind blew our Big Star Tong here?"

Tong Yan replied indifferently, "The northwest wind."

Lin Jiaojiao’s expression stiffened, "Your uncle is still at the company, your cousin is abroad, and your cousin sister went out on a date. There’s barely anyone home, such bad timing, or else..."

Tong Yan pushed her aside and walked in, "Aren’t you a person?"

Lin Jiaojiao’s face darkened. She forced a smile, "Ha ha, I didn’t mean it that way. I was just about to go out, so..."

Despite the obvious intention to see her off, Tong Yan acted as if she didn’t hear it, sat on the beige sofa, lazily reclining on it, "Auntie, if you’re heading out, go ahead. After living here for so many years, there’s nothing for you to worry about. I could walk around with my eyes closed. No need for you to keep me company."

It’s precisely because of you that I’m uneasy!

Lin Jiaojiao wanted to curse but couldn’t tear her face apart, so she had to hold back, not saying a word.

Suspicious in her heart, wondering why she was here at this time?

Had the things they had been doing all these years been discovered?

Or...

As Lin Jiaojiao thought more, the more alarmed she became. She managed to say a few words to her, then hurried upstairs to inform Su Guoqiang.

Watching her leave, Tong Yan sneered, guilty conscience.

The layout of the house hadn’t changed much, still retaining its previous appearance. Back then, she used to sit here, waiting for her parents to return.

So many years had passed; things have changed.

As she thought, noises came from outside the door.

Su Mingyue walked in from outside, holding a man’s arm, looking very coy, "Mu Bai, thank you for bringing me back today." Her voice was sweet.

Mu Bai?

Tong Yan lifted her head, and when she saw the person standing at the door, her mouth twitched. What kind of bad luck had she been having lately to encounter such coincidences.

It turned out to be Han Mubai, whom she had met just recently.

Han Mubai obviously saw her too. He raised his eyebrows, quite surprised, "What are you doing here?"

"That’s exactly what I want to ask you." Tong Yan glared at him.

Han Mubai said narcissistically, "Could it be that you can’t forget me and followed me here all the way?"

Tong Yan: ...

Is he an idiot?

Where did he get the nerve to say such things?

Tong Yan sneered, "Intelligence isn’t something everyone has."

Han Mubai: ...

This girl is still as straightforward.

Su Mingyue looked back and forth at them, incredulously asking, "You know each other?"

Tong Yan said firmly, "No."

But Han Mubai smiled wickedly, his eyes brimming with mischief, "Yan Baby, I’m hurt when you say that."

They know each other!

How could they know each other!

She had tried everything she could, spent many days, and used a lot of effort just to get in touch with Han Mubai. When did Tong Yan get to know him? Why didn’t she know anything about it?

The more Su Mingyue thought about it, the worse her expression became. The sense of superiority she had over Tong Yan vanished instantly.
