Chapter 336: Chapter 336: Out of My League

Yan Qianyi slightly raised her sharpened chin and continued walking.

“Who are you?” One of the girls didn’t recognize Yan Qianyi and was very arrogant, “This has nothing to do with you, scram. You can’t afford to mess with me!”

Yan Qianyi sneered coldly.

It’s no wonder soldiers look down on businessmen.

These merchants’ daughters think they’re so great just because they have some money.

Don’t they think about how, if not for the soldiers risking their lives to protect the peace of the world, they wouldn’t have their comfortable lives?

Yan Qianyi ignored the girl and turned her gaze to Wang Shanshan, who was sitting on the ground, “Get up, don’t disgrace the Federation Military Academy.”

Wang Shanshan placed her hands on the ground, about to stand up, when the girl berated her, “Dare to stand up and see what happens!”

Wang Shanshan paused, not daring to stand.

The girl smiled triumphantly, then turned to Yan Qianyi, “You nosy little bitch, which new noble’s family are you from? I’ve never seen you before.”

Another person hurriedly advised, “She is a distinguished guest of the Mu Family, forget it, let’s go.”

The arrogant girl glared fiercely at Yan Qianyi. “There is no esteemed guest of the Mu Family I don’t know. Tell me your name!”

Yan Qianyi coldly curled her lip, “Speak human language. I don’t understand dog barking.”

The girl was so angry she raised her hand to slap Yan Qianyi.

But her wrist was caught in mid-air by Yan Qianyi.

“Ahh!” The girl screamed in pain.

Yan Qianyi forcefully shook her off, “Scram!”

Were it not for the other two catching the girl, she would have hit her head on the nearby flower bed.

Furious, the girl’s face turned red, she burst into tears and cursed she’d tell her father, attempting again to throw herself at Yan Qianyi.

Her two companions held her back, hastily saying, “She’s a guest personally fetched by Housekeeper Li. Her status must be very unusual. Let’s leave quickly!”

The girl’s crying suddenly stopped, and she incredulously sized up Yan Qianyi anew, “Housekeeper Li personally fetched her?”

“Yes, let’s go.”

The girl was still in shock, but was pulled away by her two friends.

In a moment, Yan Qianyi turned and was surprised to find Old Master Mu and Mu Huaner standing in the distance watching her.

She was stunned.

Damn, the good impression she’d left on Old Master Mu was completely ruined.

She didn’t know since when Old Master Mu had been watching.

If he had only seen what had just happened, he must think her arrogant and domineering.

Yan Qianyi awkwardly smiled at Old Master Mu.

Unexpectedly, Old Master Mu actually gave a thumbs up and returned a satisfied smile from afar, nodding approvingly.

This…

Was he praising her?

“Dad, let’s go,” urged Mu Huaner.

Old Master Mu asked, “Which family is that brash girl from?”

“Seems like she’s the younger daughter of the Shen Family.”

Old Master Mu spoke in a stern voice, “Confirm it later, and then forbid that girl from ever setting foot in our Mu Family again!”

Mu Huaner was astonished. “Dad, the Shen Family has been developing well these past few years, and we have close business dealings with them. This might not be a good idea…”

“So what? In front of our Mu Family, the Shen Family is just a secondary party; I can always replace the secondary party. Bullying my eldest grandson’s wife is unforgivable, even if it were the heaven’s Emperor himself.”

And that Shen Family daughter had not only bullied his eldest grandson’s wife.

She had also insulted the First Lady of the Federation Empire.

“…” Mu Huaner was speechless.

Bullying?

It was Yan Qianyi who bullied the others.

But since Old Master Mu had spoken, Mu Huaner didn’t dare say anything more, nodded her head, “Okay, I’ll handle it.”

Yan Qianyi watched Old Master Mu’s retreating figure and slowly exhaled.

What should she do? She was really starting to like Old Master Mu more and more.

At this moment, all she hoped was that her mother’s death had absolutely nothing to do with the Mu Family.

“Qianyi, thank you.” Wang Shanshan’s voice came from behind her.

Yan Qianyi turned around and saw Wang Shanshan had already stood up from the ground.

Her gaze turned a bit colder, “Weren’t you quite capable when it was just me? Why did you become so weak in front of them?”

“Just now Miss Shen… my dad has been talking to her dad about a partnership recently, and I was afraid it might affect my dad’s business because of me.”

“Because your family’s business has no dealings with Yan’s anymore, you didn’t regard me as important before, right?”

“I…” Wang Shanshan hesitated a bit, “It wasn’t like that. I was just a bit angry because when I tried to be your friend before, you ignored me, so…”

“So, seeing Yan Family in decline, you thought to take your revenge?”

Back then, when her mother was still around, Yan’s was thriving, and many people came to curry favor.

She remembered that years ago, Wang Shanshan wanted to be her friend.

It’s just that she was busy with secret training and had no time to entertain her.

“I’m sorry…” Wang Shanshan lowered her head ashamedly, “It’s all Yan Ruyi’s fault for instigating that, and I was foolish to believe what she said.”

Wang’s have indeed been doing better than Yan’s these past two years.

So Wang Shanshan’s attitude at that time was: You used to ignore me, now I’ll make it so you can’t reach me.

But the one who ended up unreachable was herself.

“Now you know what it feels like to be bullied?” Yan Qianyi raised an eyebrow, “You are a student from the Special Department of the Federation Military Academy, they really aren’t a match for you if it really comes to a fight. For the sake of your family’s business, you can endure such humiliation; I do admire you for that.”

Just now, Wang Shanshan neither fought back nor retaliated verbally.

She hadn’t expected this side of Wang Shanshan.

For the Wang Family, they indeed had a good daughter.

“Qianyi, you were willing to help me just now, does that mean you’ve forgiven me?” Wang Shanshan looked at Yan Qianyi eagerly.

She really regretted her past confrontations with Yan Qianyi.

“I never took our little conflicts to heart, so there’s nothing to forgive.”

Wang Shanshan smiled joyfully, “Really? Can we be friends now?”

She also saw Old Master Mu in the distance just now.

It seemed Old Master Mu really had an extraordinary regard for Yan Qianyi.

Moreover, Yan Qianyi’s husband, Teacher Mu, is also Duke Nangong’s grandson.

Just now Yan Qianyi helped her; Miss Shen and the others would definitely be wary, knowing that Yan Qianyi and she are friends, and they wouldn’t dare bully her anymore.

Yan Qianyi coldly said, “Sorry, I don’t need new friends. Just now I helped you simply because we are alumni, please don’t dwell on it.”

After finishing her words, Yan Qianyi turned and walked away.

She and Wang Shanshan were not on the same path.

And she didn’t have the spare time to make friends.

Wang Shanshan watched Yan Qianyi’s retreating figure and smiled.

After many years, her friendly gesture was rejected by Yan Qianyi once again.

But times changed, and her mindset was completely different now.

Yan Qianyi arrived at the banquet hall, where all the guests had already taken their seats.

Her appearance immediately attracted everyone’s attention.
