Huo Buyu replied, âUmm.â Then, he didnât say anything else.
Ye Yao recalled that every time Jiang Jie called Yang Youwei, the first thing sheâd say would be, âYang Youwei, I miss you.â Hence, she copied Jiang Jie and said to Huo Buyu, âHuo Buyu, I miss you.â
âUmm,â Huo Buyu replied.
Ye Yao frowned. âWhat do you mean by l ummâ? Canât you say more?â
When Jiang Jie heard this, she immediately leaned over Ye Yaoâs shoulder to listen to their phone conversation.
Huo Buyu was silent for a moment on the other end of the line before saying, miss you too.â
Ye Yao was going to lament about how cold Huo Buyu was, but as soon as he said that, her ears turned red. Then, she said, âIâll be home as soon as possible. Bye.â Then, she hung up happily.
Jiang Jieâs expression was filled with envy. âI didnât expect Huo Buyu to tell you that he misses you. Yang Youwei wouldnât be like this.â As expected, thereâs no comparison. It would only make her angry! Yang Youwei had never told her things like âI miss youâ, âI like youâ, or âI love youâ. He didnât even say things that showed he cared about her. She felt stifled.
Ye Yao shrugged. âI guess it boils down to personality. My uncleâs personality is cold to begin with. You already know that.â
Jiang Jie nodded. âThatâs right. I know. I like his coldness. How good is that? Heâs cold to women, so I donât have to worry about him having other women around him. On the other hand, you have to keep a close eye on Huo Buyua Heâs a man that every woman in the imperial capital wants to snag. You have many love rivals. If each of them spat into a pool, you could drown in the spit.â
Ye Yao lay on the bed and looked at the ceiling lazily. âIâm not worried about that. I just didnât expect Huo Buyuâs most loyal suitor to be Qin Jiao. Donât you think itâs such a coincidence?
Jiang Jie was well aware of the feud between Ye Yao and Qin Jiao, but she didnt think that Qin Jiao would be a threat to Ye Yao. âI donât think Qin Jiao dares to provoke Huo Buyu anymore. A few days ago, I went to a banquet. Huo Buyuâs sister, Huo Buran, warned Qin Jiao in front of many people not to go near Huo Buyu again. It seems that she almost caused Huo Buyuâs death back then, so Huo Buran made it very clear that Qin Jiao and Huo Buyu wouldnât have any room for further development. You know that Huo Buyu is a very powerful person. Qin Jiao was so frightened that her legs went weak on the spot. She probably wonât dare to pester Huo Buyu anymore.â
Ye Yaoâs mind went blank. She remembered how she had said that she hoped someone would appear to deal with Qin Jiao, so⦠Alright, her jinxing ability was indeed quite effective.
Jiang Jie looked at Ye Yao and smiled gently. âActually, Qin Jiao is nothing. The real amazing person is Qin Jiaoâs cousin, my elder sister, Jiang Yun.â
Ye Yao widened her eyes in disbelief. âNo way! Your elder sister had an affair with Huo Buyu? Oh my god, Huo Buyu has challenged my bottom line time and time again. I only know these two people in the capital, but both had relationships with him?â
Speaking of Jiang Yun, she was quite something. One time, when Ye Yaoâs parents had yet to get a divorce, they had brought her to a concert. The main character of the concert was Jiang Yun. There was a thank-you banquet at night which Ye Yao happened to attend. At that time, she was young and saw Jiang Yun bullying Jiang Jie. She was like a wolf in sheepâs clothing. At that time, she had spoken up and said that Jiang Yun had bullied Jiang Jie. Jiang Yun had a pure temperament and looked especially refined. Even if someone saw her bullying others, they would think that Jiang Yun was simply defending herself, and that Jiang Yun was too good natured. She was like a goddess.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Therefore, no one believed what Ye Yao said, and no one believed that Jiang
Yun would bully Jiang Jie. This matter did not cause Jiang Yun any harm, but Jiang Yun still hated Ye Yao. At that time, Jiang Yun was only 14 years old. She was so young, but her shrewdness was terrifying. She took revenge on Ye Yao just because Ye Yao had spoken up against her.
The young Jiang Yun schemed against Qin Jiaoâs father and made him go after Ye Yaoâs mother so that Ye Yao became like an orphan. Ye Yaoâs years of misfortune started when her mother left. All of this was Jiang Yunâs work. Wasnât it scary?
Ye Yao sneered and curled her lips. âItâs been so many years since we last met. 1 1 m looking forward to sparring with Jiang Yun again.â
The relationship between Jiang Yun and Huo Buyu wasnât important. What was important was that she was Huo Buyuâs current girlfriend. When Qin Jiao found out about this, she was furious, let alone Jiang Yun. Ye Yao began to look forward to what would happen next..
