Chapter 852: Jiaojiao Is Here

Nan Jiaojiao stood outside for quite a while.

Chu Yao hasn’t come out yet.

She calls but no one answers.

“Excuse me…”

Nan Jiaojiao just started speaking when the doorman impatiently said, “You’ve been waiting a while, right?

You said a friend was coming to get you, so where’s your friend?”

Nan Jiaojiao immediately frowned.

The doorman glanced at her, scanned her from top to bottom with utter disrespect, and even sneered, “No friend, huh?

I’ve seen a lot of people like you, always trying to crash high-end parties just to get a little something.

Do you even know what kind of event this is, the Yi family, you know?

A party hosted by the Yi family’s daughter.

Without an invitation, you can’t get in.

You really think you can crash anywhere?”

Nan Jiaojiao’s face completely fell.

She had never been treated like this before.

She sneered, “The Yi family, huh?”

The doorman was startled by her aura and stammered, “Yes, wh-what about it?”

Nan Jiaojiao made another call to Chu Yao, but no one answered, so she hung up and called Yaen Chi.

It hadn’t even rung twice before he answered, hesitantly asking, “Jiaojiao?”

“It’s me, I’m at the side gate of Shengyue Mansion, and I don’t have an invitation so they won’t let me in.”

“Who’s the blind one daring to stop you!

Wait, I’ll come and get you myself.”

“No need, I figured you’d be there, just giving you a heads up so you won’t be startled when I make a scene later.”

“…” Yaen Chi didn’t understand.

Nan Jiaojiao hung up the phone and pointed to a horse tied under the crabapple tree, “Whose horse is this?”

“Miss Yi’s, she uses it to decorate the party.

You…

hey, what are you doing!

That horse isn’t for riding, get down!”

Nan Jiaojiao jumped onto the horse, yelled “Hyah,” and the horse dashed inside.

Over there, Yaen Chi stared at his phone, still not getting it.

Bo Yanching was playing cards with Loo Jinyang and a few others, the stakes were high, but Bo Yanching seemed distracted and hadn’t won a single hand.

Yaen Chi whispered, “Jiaojiao is here.”

Bo Yanching paused as he held his cards, looking up, “What did she say?”

“She said she’s coming to make a scene, she seems pretty angry.

I don’t know who ticked her off.”

Bo Yanching curled his lips slightly.

“When did she come back, didn’t contact you?”

Yaen Chi immediately regretted asking.

Judging by Bo Yanching’s expression, it didn’t seem like he knew ahead of time.

But then again, it didn’t make sense; if he didn’t know Nan Jiaojiao was coming, why would he bother attending Yi Qinghuan’s party?

Bo Yanching won this round of cards, recovering half of his previous losses.

He pushed his chips to the center, “You guys play, I’m having a cup of tea.”

The crowd looked at him as if they’d seen a ghost.

Usually, Brother Yan would just say, “I’m going out for a smoke.”

“Brother Yan, don’t be like this.

Suddenly all cultured and refined, it’s so weird.”

Bo Yanching poured himself a cup of tea, glanced slightly, “Mind your own business.”

Loo Jinyang wisely shut his mouth.

Halfway through the tea, faint hoofbeats could be heard from outside.

The noise of the party almost drowned out the hoofbeats, but as they got closer, Bo Yanching heard them more distinctly.

His hand paused, eyes half-lidded, he glanced outside.

He put down the teacup and got up to walk outside.

Yaen Chi also heard it, but he was a step slower.

Since he was sitting close to the door, he almost walked in step with Bo Yanching, then thought better of it and slowed down.

Loo Jinyang and the others, purely out of curiosity, followed along outside.

And Yi Qinghuan, no matter who she was dealing with, kept her attention on Bo Yanching.

When she saw him move, alarm bells went off in her head, and she hurried after them.

As she moved, more people followed.

So when the crowd eventually made their way outside, they all saw the girl arriving on horseback.

“Whoa—”
