1196: Up To You

Up To You

The noble young master put his arm around He Xuyan and said, "No wonder you've always been single. You're not even taking advantage of such an opportunity. Tsk, tsk, tsk. She's such a great beauty too."0

He Xuyan said nothing. That great beauty was his cousin. Could it be that he would have his eye on his cousin?

"Why don't you introduce me, then?"

He Xuyan rolled his dark eyes. "Don't waste my time."

"What do you mean by that? I think I'm pretty good. Although I can't compare to your consortium, I won't be a drag on others, right?"

He Xuyan stopped talking.

The rich young master continued to ask, "By the way, other people from your consortium are also here. Are you not going to see them either?"

"Who?" He Xuyan finally showed some curiosity.

"I think her name is Lu Tianqing or something. Isn't that He Yuan's wife?"

When He Xuyan heard this, the darkness in his eyes deepened, and his eyebrows furrowed. Who was He Yuan to be considered a member of the consortium? He was just the son of a mistress.

He would not even take an interest in He Yuan, let alone He Yuan's wife.

…

Su Bei stood at the door. She didn't see He Xuyan, and she did not care about the various people walking past either.

After a while, a man who looked like a bodyguard walked over and whispered, "Second Miss, I'll accompany you down the mountain."

"What?"

"Did you go the wrong way? You're supposed to eat at the bottom of the mountain, right? These are all important guests. I'm afraid they're not the people you're supposed to meet." The bodyguard's tone was polite, but his words were not.

He had been following Tang Yue all year round, so he naturally knew her status in the entire Tang family.

As for Su Bei, she didn't come home at all. No one had much impression of her or respect for her.

"There's no need to trouble you. I'll be here." Su Bei looked up at him.

The bodyguard froze. He didn't expect her to say that.

However, he clearly did not believe her. He had followed Tang Yue for a long time and had heard from her more than once that Su Bei did not have any ability. She just relied on her face and the resources given by the old man to get to where she was now.

"Second Miss, if you don't leave, I'll have to report this to Eldest Miss," the bodyguard said. Seeing that Su Bei was unmoved, he immediately turned around and went to Tang Yue.

Tang Yue and Sheng Xiaotang were chatting with Lu Tianqing when they heard the bodyguard say that Su Bei refused to leave. The three of them were a little surprised.

Sheng Xiaotang glanced at Tang Yue, whose complexion did not look too good. She said, "I'll talk to her."

Lu Tianqing smiled and said, "Is that your sister? Why don't you call her in?"

To her, it did not matter who she befriended. In any case, they would eventually become her foil.

"It's better not to invite her over, Miss Lu. That sister of mine wasn't raised at home in her early years and has always lacked discipline. She doesn't know proper etiquette, so her presence here will only disturb your mood."

"Then it's up to you," Lu Tianqing said casually.

Tang Yue immediately composed herself and walked toward Su Bei.

"Su Bei." Tang Yue walked closer.

When Su Bei saw Tang Yue, she nodded in greeting.

Tang Yue smiled. "It was tough to get here, wasn't it?"

Su Bei found her words strange. 'What does she mean it was tough?'

"After all, the people coming and going here are all important people. Isn't it a little uncomfortable for you to come without an invitation and not be able to get in?"

Su Bei smiled casually. "Not really."
