Chapter 84: Mistakenly Held Rich Heiress 083 (7)
“Don’t you think it’s unfair to Miss Ye?” Pei Xu flicked off the ash from his cigarette, his voice sounding somewhat cold, “She is your sister after all.”
“She claims she doesn’t care about the An Family’s fortune or whether she changes her surname or not, but as soon as Grandfather said the word, she moved back home. Even my mother doesn’t have as many belongings in her room as Grandfather added for her, so what part of the compensation hasn’t been made up for?” An Tingjun frowned.
Yet, when she comes back to the An Family, she remains silent, with a cold expression, as if the whole world owes her something?
The riches and honors of the An Family for several generations have not been without reason; Old Master An had unique vision and sharp tactics, and An’s father was also very successful in the business world.
An Tingjun was also well-known in the circle, but for some reason, his view was so shallow when it came to Ye Shaohua.
And that girl…
“Tingjun, they’re both your sisters,” Pei Xu shook his head, “I hope you won’t come to regret your actions in the future.”
After saying that, he stubbed out the half-smoked cigarette and went back.
Regret? An Tingjun stood behind him, somewhat puzzled by why Pei Xu would use such a word. Just yesterday, Grandfather was thinking about having Ye Shaohua spend the summer at the An’s to get familiar with the environment, but she refused.
Nowadays, which family’s disciples would be so indolent yet still want a share of the inheritance?
An Tingjun didn’t understand why Pei Xu would mention ‘regret’ about this person whom even Grandfather couldn’t support.
When the two returned to their seats, that group of people was still playing Truth or Dare.
An Tingjun’s face didn’t look good.
An Toutou glanced at An Tingjun, and then closed her eyes slightly—[Does Axu really want my so-called biological sister to replace Toutou in the engagement?]
When An Toutou heard this, her hand shook, almost knocking over her wineglass.
Yes, she had always been different from others since she was a child. She knew she had a special talent, being able to hear what people thought, though this superpower didn’t work on everyone.
For instance, she could never hear Grandpa An’s thoughts.
As for Pei Xu, sometimes she could hear his thoughts and sometimes she couldn’t.
Because of this gift, from a young age she knew how to please others, understood what was on their minds, and when they were dissatisfied with her. She would adjust her behavior to appear as perfect as they imagined, speaking exactly what they wished to hear in their minds.
In discussions about company matters within the circle, she would take the initiative to propose the solutions they had in mind.
During exams, she would synthesize the strongest subjects of everyone present to fill in the answers.

Especially when playing Go, she knew what the opponent’s next move would be, understood their game plan, and also knew when they would feint.
…
So she became known as a genius within the circle, gradually ascending the path of high society, and no one could find fault with her.
She had always seen herself as the heroine of a novel, a winner in life, so she had never taken Ye Shaohua seriously.
Hearing An Tingjun’s thoughts, An Toutou narrowed her eyes slightly.
An Toutou had always been acknowledged for her high IQ, with countless awards and honors to her name; her demeanor and appearance were both top-notch.
What use was Ye Shaohua being the legitimate daughter? The last time she came to the An’s, she didn’t even know what Go was.
She refused to believe that the Pei Family would willingly take home a completely worthless person!
“Just a fool who knows nothing, there’s no need for you, Toutou, to be distressed over her,” the girl beside her said, while dealing cards and comforting her in R Language.
As Ye Shaohua glanced over, taking advantage of the fact that Shaohua couldn’t understand R Language, she said sarcastically, “Miss Ye, I was just praising you to Toutou about how great your grades are.”
The others who understood also chuckled along.
It was at this moment that a man wearing a black suit with blonde hair came over.
“Ye? Is that really you? That’s great, I thought you wouldn’t come this week!” He looked at Ye Shaohua in surprise, speaking fluently in R Language.
“Don’t think too much, I’m not here for a part-time job,” Ye Shaohua took the cards without looking at them, holding them casually in her hand, and replied nonchalantly.
Her use of R Language was more fluent than anyone else present.
“Then the customers at the bar will be disappointed,” the blonde man shrugged helplessly, and asked unwillingly, “So when will you be back?”
In the end, without receiving a definitive answer from Ye Shaohua, he left with deep regret, constantly looking back as he went.
Pei Xu watched the blonde man, squinting his eyes in confusion.
An Toutou and the girls around her, almost everyone at the table was stunned when Shaohua uttered the first sentence in R Language.
Such fluent R Language, along with those technical terms that even they couldn’t speak offhand—how exactly did Ye Shaohua, who was said to be from an ordinary family, manage to do this?!
After the shock came discomfort and embarrassment. They had assumed that Shaohua didn’t understand R Language, so they used it to talk about her all along, but they never expected that all their words had fallen on Shaohua’s ears.
They took pride in a foreign language that she didn’t even bother to acknowledge, and some with thinner skin wished they could crawl under the table. At the same time, their views of Shaohua improved significantly.
Pei Xu also looked at Ye Shaohua with some surprise.
“Ahem, Truth or Dare, Miss Ye, you’ve drawn the Dare card,” a guy tried to ease the awkward atmosphere. One of the girls next to An Toutou had just drawn the King card, so he said to her, “You tell us the dare.”
That girl, still feeling embarrassed, saw the guys at the table assessing Shaohua and said with ill-intent, “I heard you work at this bar. How about you make a drink for Young Master Pei? How does that sound?”
“Tingting!” The guy who had just tried to relieve the awkwardness frowned upon hearing this, wanting the girl to restrain herself. Hadn’t they caused enough embarrassment already?
Mixing drinks isn’t something just anyone can do. Not even An Toutou could manage such a specialized task. Was it necessary to give Shaohua such a hard time?
But the girl didn’t listen, looking at Ye Shaohua with some satisfaction, “My grandfather always told me how smart Miss Ye is, having topped the national exam. I thought you were as smart as Toutou, but now it seems… you’re just ordinary, right?”
“If I do it, can I leave?” Before the girl could say anything else, she was interrupted by a clear voice.
Ye Shaohua had already stood up, tossing the card on the table with one hand while pulling back her chair with the other, her demeanor full of confidence.
Everyone at the table was silenced by her presence, not daring to speak for a long while.
Shaohua drummed her fingers impatiently on the table, “I said, after I do it, can I leave?”
She had just borrowed books from the library today. If not for Grandpa An’s phone call, she wouldn’t have agreed to come with Toutou. This crowd was simply wasting her time.
“Yes, yes, yes, after you do it, you can leave,” a guy couldn’t stand up to her aura and subconsciously added the respectful ‘you’.
Ye Shaohua nodded and headed straight for the bar. The bartender’s eyes widened slightly when he saw her, but after a moment, wiped his own stool clean and invited her in.
Shaohua walked in, picked up the duckbill cap and snapped it onto her head, then she took a glass. Her distinct fingers nimbly spun the glass around, not spilling a drop of the brown liquid within.
An Toutou and the others had come over to gawk, thinking that Shaohua would fail at the task.
As they stood closest to Shaohua, the crowd suddenly surged towards the bar. Nearly everyone had out their phones or cameras, taking photos and videos, some barely suppressing their squeals of excitement.
An Toutou and her friends were completely baffled, with one girl muttering if they were attracted here by Toutou’s beauty.
At that moment, the guy who had proposed the dare suddenly pointed at the enormous screen overhead, struck dumb as a wooden chicken.
Pei Xu couldn’t help but look up and, upon seeing the content on the screen, his pupils sharply constricted.
This was the number one ranked bar in all of Asia, a destination many foreigners made sure to visit when coming to Imperial City. A trip to Imperial City was incomplete without a visit to Yese, the bar street at night.
No one knew who the owner of the bar was, but everyone knew better than to mess with this place.
The bar often featured performances by first and second-tier celebrities, and above the bar was a huge fluorescent billboard where advertisements and information on the latest services and drinks were displayed.
These were usually rotated in batches. For example, tonight there was a popular music idol performing, and the bar had given him a quarter of the billboard space.
Those familiar with the bar knew this was already the maximum exposure available—only a few people ever got to occupy a quarter of the screen, and that was because he was a popular idol.
However, now all the ads on the fluorescent screen had disappeared, even the steadfast half-screen space for drink services was gone.
This was the first time they had ever seen such a scene.
The vast screen displayed only a photo of a young figure wearing a duckbill cap.
And beside it, a line—
The pinnacle god of Asia, ‘Number One Lady’ returns tonight to rule and dazzle the entire venue!
