Chapter 51: Cooking Up a Scheme to Counter a Scheme

Yan Qing Shan looked blankly at the innocent phone that was pitifully snapped in her hands. Sigh. She got a bit carried away again. Now what phone is she going to use?

Then suddenly she stiffened. Yan Qing Shan finally remembered that she was still in the dining room and the Aces were all present at the moment. Uneasily, she looked up at the people whose incredulous faces were directed at her. Their attention were even taken from the exquisite breakfast laid at the table.

"Uh...Sorry about that?"

Yan Qing Shan's tone was unsure. She felt heat going up her cheeks. She didn't mean to lose composure. Anyone would have reacted that way when facing their murderer. Especially her, whose emotions have all long been suppressed. Zhao Ming Hua was the trigger of all negative feelings Yan Qing Shan knew of. If it weren't for her long term plans and the satisfaction of toying with them, she would have already delivered Zhao Ming Hua and Yan Xiaoyi to a life worse than death.

"Pfft..."

A chuckle reverberated to the silent dining table. Yan Qing Shan frowned when she saw Ning Xie Zhi grinning.

"Jie, you're so ferocious! Who were you talking to anyway?"

Yan Qing Shan fought the urge to roll her eyes at the childish, angelic-looking glutton.

"Dirt. I was forced to talk to an insignificant dirt. Hence, the current situation."

She replied to his question dismissively and then pointed to the crushed phone. Qi Xia and the others' curious looks were directed at her. Yan Qing Shan sighed when she saw this. It was inevitable for her to tell them about herself. But she thought that could be dealt with little by little.

"To sum it up, my stepmother and my stepsister feels bored and they're looking for me to play with them."

She said ambiguously. Xu Lei's brow raised at her words.

"Your stepsister? Oh you mean, your half sister, Yan Xiaoyi. She's quite popular, by the way. If I'm not mistaken, she's the media department's top 1 beauty. She's smart too. I heard she got accelarated and skipped two years of high school. Aside from that, she's the up and coming star of Bright Moon Entertainment and main endorser of the Yan Group. Heh. Now that I think about it clearly, it seems like your family is quite complicated, Sovereign."

Yan Qing Shan let out a mocking smile on her lips. Yes, Yan Xiaoyi did possess capabilities to brag about. But that's because she hid herself in the dark and let her. No matter how good Yan Xiaoyi was, that is only because Yan Qing Shan was out of the picture. All these things Yan Xiaoyi was proud of, it was easy for her to take down one by one.

She started recalling the past circumstances around this particular situation. Previously, this supposed marriage meeting was arranged by Zhao Ming Hua to further blacken her reputation and get her expelled. If circumstances happen as it did before, Yan Qing Shan was pretty sure that they'll be hiring a reporter to tail her and post up misleading articles on the spot.

These articles were specifically what enraged and gave Zi Jue the wrong idea and drove the man crazy jealous. Yan Qing Shan had told him it was a family meeting she would be going to. Technically, it somehow was because there were elders present, albeit on a different private box within the restaurant. But would the devil care? And now that she thought about it, Zi Jue in the past found out about the meeting and the articles suspiciously fast. It reminded Yan Qing Shan of certain little leech secretary she has beaten up.

Zi Jue dragged her out from the meeting place and was banned from going out for a time. She was thus unable to defend herself against the slanderous articles coupled up with the rumors at the school board and was inevitably expelled. Which obviously made the plans of a certain mother and daughter an ensured success.

Unfortunately for them, this time she already has a counterattack prepared. They have the guts to scheme against her. Well, two can play that game. Besides, the relationship between her and Zi Jue isn't what it was previously like.

Trust and communication was the foundation of a successful relationship, is what a certain article said. Yan Qing Shan agreed with this. This principle is specifically the turning point which will make everything different.

They wanted her to go to a marriage meeting. Sure, Yan Qing Shan will indulge the two of them. But they didn't specifically tell her to go alone. Aside from the fact that she already knew that person.

"Isn't such complications typical with the rich and famous, Xu Lei?"

She answered blankly at the man as Yan Qing Shan collected herself from her thoughts.

"Don't mind me. I'll let you know all about these things when the time comes. For now, don't you think we should all eat?"

Yan Qing Shan gestured at the food. The Aces need not be told twice. They happily devoured the glorious food at the table.

"Sovereign, I'll have someone get you a new phone. Xie Zhi's tech company has created a new and advance model. I think it would suit you. You can have Xie Zhi and Ji Ran modify it as well. I'll have it given to you within the afternoon."

It was Qi Xia who briefly informed her this and then went back to eating. Yan Qing Shan nodded and uttered a small thanks. She took this as a good sign. The Aces were doing their part in fully integrating her to her role.

"By the way, let's hold the barbecue party tonight. I have people I need to introduce to all of you."

CREATORS' THOUGHTS

So I haven't updated this weekend. Well, a lot of things happened. My laptop gave up and died. All of my stockpile chapters gone with the wind. My blood, sweat, and tears wasted.

But this author refused to be torn down by such tribulation. I restarted from scratch.

Alas, when it rains, it pours. The sleepless nights caught me up and I fainted from lack of blood. Literally. Spent the night at the emergency attached in an oxygen and all.
