Chapter 407 You've Made a Profit
"How is it? Mom isn't answering your call, is she? Mom's busy, she doesn't have time to deal with you."
"Come on, if it weren't for Mom saying she wanted to broaden your horizons, I wouldn't have bothered taking you there." Yu Wei'an secretly gloated when she saw Tian Zhenzhen's discomfiture. Tian Zhenzhen must be very sad now that her mother didn't answer the phone.
Her words carried an air of arrogance, as if taking Tian Zhenzhen to a banquet was her glory.
Tian Zhenzhen looked at Yu Wei'an with a strange expression, secretly wondering: If she could drug Wen Huili so she couldn't go to the banquet, why did she have to bring her along? Was there some trap waiting for her at the banquet?
"Forget it, if Auntie isn't going, I don't want to go either. I'll just go home," Tian Zhenzhen said, turning to leave.
"You're not allowed to leave," Yu Wei'an hurriedly called out to stop her.
"Oh, why can't I leave? I wasn't really interested in attending banquets to begin with, and now that Auntie isn't going, I'm even less inclined to go."
"Do you expect me to go even if I don't want to?" Tian Zhenzhen retorted without backing down.
"What do you mean you're being forced to go? You're also a daughter of the Yu family. There will be plenty of social occasions like this in the future. It's impossible for your mother to take you every time."
"My brother and I meant well by introducing you to the world. If you want to stay in the Yu family, you'll have to get used to these things sooner rather than later," Yu Wei'an said matter-of-factly.
“Yes, if you don’t even have the guts to attend a banquet, how can you be a daughter of the Yu family, how can you be our sister?” Yu Shaohui chimed in. He had meticulously prepared a “good show” for Tian Zhenzhen, how could he let her escape so easily?
Seeing that Yu Shaohui had said this, Tian Zhenzhen became even more certain that the two of them must have some ulterior motive.
She had initially shown little interest in attending the banquet, but now she was curious to see what tricks these two were up to.
"Okay, I think you're right. After all, I'm the real daughter of the Yu family, and there's no reason for you, the fake daughter, to be the one to maintain appearances."
Let's go now.
Tian Zhenzhen smiled slightly and agreed, not forgetting to take the opportunity to mock Yu Wei'an.
After saying that, Tian Zhenzhen took the lead and walked outside.
Yu Wei'an was so angry that her face turned red, and she almost stomped her foot. Her resentment grew even stronger.
"Big brother, why does Tian Zhenzhen blurt out everything? If she does that at the banquet, won't everyone know my identity? Won't I be laughed at?"
Yu Wei'an said angrily and anxiously, "The family has always said that the Yu family has two daughters, but Tian Zhenzhen keeps doing this. She is clearly trying to ruin her reputation."
A shadow crossed Yu Shaohui's eyes. This Tian Zhenzhen was indeed no pushover. It seemed his decision was right.
"No, no one will believe her, and I won't let her succeed," Yu Shaohui said coldly, already plotting how to teach Tian Zhenzhen a "lesson" at the banquet.
Seeing Yu Shaohui's expression, Yu Wei'an knew that her words had worked.
She was just testing her older brother one last time. After all, even their mother could change her mind, so she wasn't sure if her older brother would soften his heart towards Tian Zhenzhen.
But it doesn't matter. No matter what her brother's arrangements are, she has a backup plan. What she wants is to be foolproof. She absolutely cannot let Tian Zhenzhen ruin her plans.
The He family is a renowned and prestigious family in Shanghai.
Today, He Jianian's birthday banquet is a grand affair, with numerous guests arriving one after another, and the entrance to the banquet hall already filled with all kinds of luxury cars.
Top-tier luxury cars, rarely seen on ordinary days, are now arriving one after another in an endless stream, giving a glimpse into the He family's status in Hai City.
Along the way, Yu Wei'an held tightly to Yu Shaohui's arm, chattering incessantly. Their affectionate manner seemed to be deliberately showing off the deep bond between the siblings in front of Tian Zhenzhen.
She recounted her childhood anecdotes with great enthusiasm, occasionally letting out a charming laugh, and her eyes would sometimes glance sideways at Tian Zhenzhen, as if to declare her unique status in the family.
Tian Zhenzhen sat quietly to the side with her arms crossed, watching their performance intently with a hint of amusement in her eyes, as if she were watching a farcical spectacle.
The corners of her mouth turned up slightly, a half-smile playing on her lips. Her calm and composed demeanor made it seem as if the actions of the two people in front of her had nothing to do with her.
Under Tian Zhenzhen's unabashed gaze, Yu Wei'an and Yu Shaohui gradually became somewhat uncomfortable.
Yu Wei'an's smile began to stiffen, and her speech became hesitant and fragmented. Unable to bear Tian Zhenzhen's all-seeing gaze any longer, she finally couldn't help but speak:
"Zhenzhen, why are you staring at me and my older brother like that? Don't be jealous that my older brother is closer to me. After all, you didn't grow up with us, so our relationship can't compare."
Tian Zhenzhen did not immediately respond to her provocation. Instead, she paused briefly, a conflicted expression on her face, and slowly said:
"Sister, you said He Jianian is your fiancé, but I heard from Auntie that he is engaged to a young lady from the Yu family."
Logically speaking, He Jianian should be my fiancé.
"What do you mean? Do you dare to try and steal Jia Nian from me?"
Upon hearing this, Yu Wei'an's eyes widened instantly, and she became like a powder keg that had been lit, her entire body on high alert.
She glared at Tian Zhenzhen fiercely, as if Tian Zhenzhen were a thief trying to steal her most beloved toy.
"Hmph, He Jianian and Wei An grew up together as childhood sweethearts. Do you think you can steal Wei An's engagement just because you suddenly appeared as the daughter of the Yu family? You're really delusional."
Yu Shaohui chimed in, his gaze toward Tian Zhenzhen filled with disgust, as if she were some filthy, repulsive thing.
In his mind, Tian Zhenzhen had first stolen his mother's affection for Yu Wei'an, and now she was trying to take advantage of his sister's fiancé. She was utterly shameless.
"My sister and He Jianian are only engaged, not married. What if He Jianian falls for me? After all, I'm much prettier than Yu Wei'an."
Tian Zhenzhen continued to tease the two of them. She knew very well that she had no feelings for He Jianian whatsoever. She was just annoyed by their display of brotherly affection in front of her and wanted to tease them.
Since you disgusted her first, of course she'll disgust you back.
Upon hearing this, Yu Wei'an could no longer suppress her anger.
Her face flushed red with anger, and her breathing became rapid.
She suddenly raised her hand and slapped Tian Zhenzhen hard across the face, as if she wanted to disfigure Tian Zhenzhen with one blow.
When Yu Shaohui saw his sister take action, he not only did not stop her, but also thought to himself: It's time to let Wei An vent her anger. This Tian Zhenzhen is too arrogant.
However, what happened next stunned everyone.
A crisp "slap" rang out, but the one who was slapped was not Tian Zhenzhen, but Yu Wei'an.
With lightning speed, Tian Zhenzhen grabbed Yu Wei'an's wrist and slapped her across the face.
Although the slap was delivered with less force, it still left a clear handprint on Yu Wei'an's fair face.
Yu Wei'an covered her slapped face in disbelief, her eyes wide with shock and anger.
She never expected that without her mother's support, Tian Zhenzhen would still dare to be so arrogant and openly fight back.
"Tian Zhenzhen, how dare you hit me!" Yu Wei'an screamed, her voice filled with anger and grievance.
"I'll hit you if I want to, what's there to be afraid of?"
If you can hit me, then of course I can hit you too.
"But I must say, you're really shameless. The fight just now was actually quite exciting," Tian Zhenzhen said with a teasing expression.
After saying that, he slapped Yu Wei'an on the other cheek with a "smack".
Now, Yu Wei'an has two symmetrical handprints on either side of her face, which looks rather comical.
"Judging from your incredulous look just now, you finally believe I dare to hit you, right?"
"If you still don't believe me, I can give you a few free slaps." Tian Zhenzhen revealed a triumphant smile, as if she had done Yu Wei'an a great favor.
