CHAPTER 1234: CHAPTER 243: BEYOND CONTROL, WAVES OF PASSION (PART 3)

"Jiang Li, what are you doing here? I’ve been looking for you. Oh, Miss Ji is here too. What are you two talking about? Sharing such a bright smile, share some with me too?" Saying this as she hooked Jiang Li’s arm.

Yun Ya smiled gently, "Second Aunt."

"Alright, you and Ah Song aren’t even married yet, why call me so intimately? Just call me Miss Zi." Her tone was ambiguous.

Yun Ya wasn’t annoyed, she simply smiled gracefully.

Seeing her smiling face made Yan Zi full of anger.

Jiang Li frowned slightly, "Not to mention she’s about to get engaged to Ah Song, she also has a good relationship with Xingxing, what’s wrong with her calling you Second Aunt?"

Yan Zi pouted and said displeased, "Are you speaking against me for an outsider now?"

Jiang Li sighed, "Don’t overthink... Yun Ya... is a student of mine, I should have mentioned it to you. I used to teach in Jiangzhou and was a private teacher for a girl for several years, that’s Yun Ya."

So that’s how it is.

But seeing the two standing together, she felt uncomfortable in her heart. Jiang Li had been perfunctory with her lately, she suspected he might be having a change of heart. Now, seeing Ji Yunya, a young and beautiful girl, she immediately felt a sense of crisis.

"Oh, so she’s your student," Yan Zi said with an indescribable tone.

Yun Ya said softly, "I just remembered I have something to do. I’ll leave first. Miss Zi, Teacher Jiang, see you later." With that, she lifted her steps and left.

"What kind of vision does Ah Song have? Looks like a vixen, marrying her home would only cause trouble..."

Yun Ya had walked far but could still hear Yan Zi’s complaining voice.

"Enough, Yun Ya isn’t what you think..."

"Jiang Li, what do you mean? You’re speaking for that woman? Do you like her? Speak up...?" The woman wouldn’t let it go.

Yun Ya sneered. She believed Yan Zi was once a brave and bright girl, but people change. In love, she was weighed down by gain and loss, suspicious and paranoid. Over the years, she became sharp-tongued and selfish. How could such a woman hope to keep a man?

If she heard this woman insult her again, she didn’t care who she was, she would teach her a lesson.

Yun Ya asked a servant to tell Zhuang Xiyue that she was a bit tired and left first. Back at the West Warm Pavilion, she collapsed onto the bed. Living in such a big family was truly exhausting.

At this time, she only wanted Brother Yan’s embrace.

Unknowingly, she fell asleep, and when Yun Ya woke up again, it was already dark.

Ah Yun said that Zhuang Xiyue had come by in between, and upon knowing she was asleep, left. There was a family banquet at the Yan Family in the evening to celebrate the return of Yan Zi and her husband. Everyone from the Yan Family was back, gathered together. Not attending such an occasion would be inappropriate for Yun Ya, but the thought of all the socializing at the table made her headache unbearable, wishing to find a shell to hide in.

"Miss looks beautiful in this outfit, absolutely stunning," Ah Yun said while picking out clothes from the wardrobe.

Yun Ya said helplessly, "Tonight’s main character is Yan Zi, why should I dress so beautifully? Stealing the spotlight from the host will only cause upset, especially with someone as petty as Yan Zi, who will surely resent me more."

Yun Ya didn’t want to stand out either, so she chose a very low-key outfit to wear, but no matter how you put it, being too beautiful, even in a burlap sack, she still looked radiant. Yun Ya wore no makeup, her bare face was more naturally pure compared to the meticulously made-up look.

Yun Ya originally intended to go early, but things don’t always go as planned. By the time she arrived, it was already full. Even the seldom-seen Yan Guosong and Yan Guobai were there, only Yan Nanrong, Yan Nangui, and Yan Song were missing. Yun Ya became the center of attention, unsurprisingly.

The girl wore a short white down jacket, black straight pants, and a pair of suede ankle boots, with a tall and slender figure. Compared to the fur coats of the noblewomen, she was already quite simple and low-key. Her chestnut long hair was tied in a bun, revealing a full forehead, making her appear youthful and lively.

The down jacket had a circle of fur around the collar, framing the girl’s face, making her features more picturesque, especially her pair of eyes, dark as ink, full of spirit in their tranquility. Under the light, her skin was so white it reflected, like a lotus blooming in clear water, swaying with elegant stems, standing alone in the world.

The girl walked in with elegant steps, her every move exuding noble grace, with a gentle smile at the corner of her lips. Outside, frost and snow filled the air; the girl seemed like a warm dream, coming softly from the cold wind.

"I’m late, please forgive me." The girl smiled softly, who could bear to blame her?
