After the opening dance, Huo Siyu was called away by her uncles to socialize.
âJian, are you okay on your own?â Huo Siyu was still somewhat concerned as she spoke before leaving.
She had only said those words to Jian Dan earlier because of the other partyâs face.
But knowing Tan Anqi as she did, Anqi was the kind of person who would seek revenge for the smallest grievance.
Pampered since childhood, there was nothing she wanted that she couldnât get her hands on.
Whether she truly liked her or not, Huo Siyu did not know, but at the very least, Anqi was interested.
âMe? What could be wrong with me?â
Huo Siyu nodded towards Tan Anqiâs direction with her head. âSheâs not someone easy to mess with!â
Jian Dan followed the direction of Huo Siyuâs nod.
âHer, huh!â Jian Dan had already sensed her hostility towards herself when she first arrived.
Not a trace of worry crossed Jian Danâs face, instead, there was a hint of mockery.
âNo worries, go ahead! I can handle myself,â Jian Dan said, slowly looking at Huo Siyu.
âReally?ân/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âTruer than true gold!â
âAlright then! If anything happens, call me immediately,â Huo Siyu still said, feeling uneasy.
âGot it! Go on, donât worry!â
Only then did Huo Siyu leave, looking back three steps at a timeâ¦
After Huo Siyu had left, Jian Dan glanced again in Tan Anqiâs direction, noting that Anqi was still staring at her intently.
But Jian Dan did not care.
Her principle was not to cause trouble, nor fear it!
Of course, very often, she couldnât stop trouble from finding her either.
She hadnât had anything to eat all afternoon, and the journey here had taken quite some time, so her stomach was already famished.
So, without paying attention to Tan Anqi, Jian Dan went to the dining area to eatâ¦
Upon arriving at the dining area, Jian Dan picked out the food she liked and began to eat.
âIt seems our hotelâs food is quite to your taste!â Tan Anqi and a few of her followers approached Jian Dan.
Continuing to eat, Jian Dan spoke, âThe flavor is just average. If I wasnât starving, I wouldnât even consider eating it!â she said bluntly.
If the other party bore ill will, why should she be polite in return?
âYouâ¦â
âAnqi, some people just pretend to know what they clearly donât, who knows, maybe she hasnât even eaten properly before?â one of the followers sneered at Jian Dan disdainfully.
âYouâre right, indeed I havenât eaten⦠such distasteful food before!â Jian Danâs tone remained utterly even.
âIs that so? It looks like Brother Siyu has treated you to a lot of tasty things.
Yeah! Now that you have food to eat, youâd better eat up. After all, if Brother Siyu dumps you later, you wonât have a chance to eat like this again!â Tan Anqi whispered snidely.
âHeh,â Jian Dan scoffed coldly.
Because of Jian Danâs disdain, Tan Anqiâs face started looking worse for wear, âDo you really think with your status you could join a family like the Huo Family? Thatâs nothing but a pipe dream!â Tan Anqi lost her previous grace.
âSo you mean, only someone like you is suitable to marry Huo Siyu?â
âOf course, I am the only daughter of the Tan Family!â
âThe Tan Family?
Sorry, never heard of it!â Jian Dan looked at Tan Anqi unflinchingly.
âHeh, good! Very good! Youâve successfully gotten my attention now!â Tan Anqi looked at Jian Dan with a cold laugh. âBut youâll find that getting my attention is not a good thing!â
âIs that so?
Unfortunately, you donât seem capable of getting me to pay attention to you!â Jian Dan retorted directly.
Many at the banquet looked at Jian Dan with sympathy. No one had ever dared to talk to Tan Anqi like that before.
