Translator: Tuiwen Editor: Tuiwen
“You can hand it over to the people of this organization, and they will relay it to me.”
But Yao Tangonly tilted her head to the side. Her eyes were still as indifferent as before, but he could detect a hint of a smile in her voice. “That won’t be necessary. I don’t need your parchment.”
With that, she cleanly inserted the USB drive into the doorway and walked out of the room.
A moment later, her figure disappeared in the distance as the door banged shut.
The man stood alone in the private room, staring blankly at the door, his eyes wide with disbelief.
!!
His brain seemed to have stopped working; his thoughts were jumbled up, and he couldn’t even form a single, coherent idea.
He just couldn’t understand it. He had entered this deal with the confidence that he would emerge victorious, yet it turned out to be the opposite.
He was at an utter loss.
The man glanced at the box in his hands. The sight fanned the flames of his fury, but he knew he could do nothing about it.
Since things had come to this, he had no choice but to swallow his anger and move past the unfortunate incident.
The man heaved a long, weary sigh and walked through his own door.
He told himself it was fine even if the deal did not work out. Perhaps he could do better next time, and they would be able to come up with a favorable compromise.
The man walked out of the long corridor, then through another door. A while later, he came out in an underground parking lot.
A black car sped over and screeched to a halt in front of him.
The driver got out of the vehicle and reached for the box, but the man waved him away and let himself into the backseat.
He set the box on his lap and took off his mask.
If Yao Tanghad been present, she would have been quick to note that the man had a striking resemblance toYang Nian. He was none other than the head of the Yang family,Yang Jiang.
Yang Jiang leaned back against the seat and closed his eyes. He lost track of time as he delved deep into his thoughts.
“Head,” the driver called out at last. “We have arrived at the mansion.”
Only then did Yang Jiangopen his eyes again, and they flashed with animosity.
He got out of the car and walked into the mansion, only to realize that it was decorated for a party. He held up a passing waiter and scowled. “What are you all doing?”
Yang Jiang had only returned from the capital and immediately rushed to the meeting place. This was the first time he was stepping into his home since his arrival.
When the driver heard the question, he hurried over and explained. “Well, Sir, the Young Master has invited his friends for a small gathering. He is currently out to pick up Miss Yan Wei and the others.”
At the mention of her name, Yang Jiang’s thoughts zeroed in on the favored daughter of the Yan family.
“Right, right,” he nodded pensively. “Young people should mingle with each other and enjoy their time while they still can.”
He looked around and found that several guests were already there.
“Will there be other students besides Yan Wei? Some exchange students, maybe? Or his classmates?”
The driver was stumped. He had no idea about these matters. It wasn’t as if the Young Master had the habit of recounting his affairs to the staff of the residence. The man only knew that Yan Weiwould be in there.
Yang Jiang took one look at the driver’s perplexed expression and knew he wouldn’t get an answer. Just then, the butler came over.
“Good evening, Master. Other than Miss Yan Wei, other exchange students will be coming, as well as some of Young Master’s friends fromNo. 1 High School. MissYao Ranfrom theYao familywill also be in attendance.”
“Yao?”
Yang Jiang squinted into the distance as a vague thought slowly materialized in his mind.
The butler instantly added, “The Young Master’s engagement was previously arranged with the Yao family.”
“Well, how is she?” Yang Jiangasked casually. “Have you met her?”
The butler had initially thought that his master would despise the Yao familyfor scheming the engagement, so he was surprised byYang Jiang’s tepid reaction.
It looked like the engagement might push through, after all. Following this, the butler thought that it would be better to paint Yao Ranin a more favorable light.
“I only saw Miss Yao from afar, but she looks very gently. I hear that she is also a sensible girl, though she is a rather weak and a little petty…” In the end, his sense of duty still made him point out a few red flags.
A petty woman might make for a nice lover, but definitely not a wife.
And certainly not the wife of the heir to the Yang family. She would be of no help to Yang Nian’s career, and might even drag him down with her troubles.
This much was clear to Yang Jiang, even though no such words were said.
