Chapter 206 - 206: Losing Control of Emotions
After finishing her computer class in the afternoon, Nan Yan sent a message to Qin Lu:
[Big brother, there’s a class gathering tonight, and my classmate will give me a ride, so you don’t have to pick me up.]
Qin Lu’s reply came quickly: [What time will it end?]
Nan Yan frowned. She had no idea what time it would end, and she didn’t want him to know that she was going to meet someone.
[It shouldn’t be too late. We’ll just leave after dinner.]
Qin Lu responded, [Let me know when it’s over. If it’s late, don’t let others send you home. I’ll come and pick you up, little sister.]
Nan Yan agreed with a simple [Okay.] She sent the message with calm assurance and put her phone away without any psychological pressure.
The last class of the day was a class meeting. The class teacher stood at the front of the classroom and, after covering the topics of the meeting, gave the final announcement, “We will have monthly exams on Thursday and Friday, so please prepare in advance.”
“After this test, the next one will be the final exam, so there will be a parent-teacher meeting next Monday. Students, please make sure to inform your parents to come to school on Monday, no matter how busy they are. Do you understand?”
Parent-teacher meeting…
For Nan Yan, this was a distant concept. As far as she could remember, her mother had attended a parent-teacher meeting only once when she was in elementary school. After that, her parents were never able to attend any school events because they had been killed…
Xi Shijin…
She had to kill him and seek revenge for her parents!
Suddenly, Nan Yan couldn’t control the terror welling up within her. Even her classmates sitting closer to her felt as if they had fallen into an ice cellar, with coldness seeping into their bones.
The class teacher, who was facing her at the front of the classroom, was startled by the sudden coldness in her eyes.
“Nan Yan, what… What’s wrong?” The class teacher was also puzzled. Everything was going fine, and he had only mentioned the parent-teacher meeting. Why did Nan Yan suddenly change?
The inexplicable pressure caused her classmates to turn their heads and look at her. When they saw her, they all shivered.
“Nan Yan?”
“Boss…”
“Boss…”
A few urgent calls brought Nan Yan back to her senses. Then, the overwhelming aura of terror was retracted.
Those who were almost scared out of their wits finally breathed a sigh of relief.
“Sorry, I scared you just now,” Nan Yan said as she pressed her temple.
The class teacher approached her, looking at her much paler face and couldn’t help but ask, “Nan Yan, what happened just now?”
“It’s nothing,” Nan Yan replied indifferently, “I just thought of some unpleasant things.”
The class teacher spoke gently, “Nan Yan, if you have something on your mind, you can talk to your teacher. Don’t keep it bottled up.”
“Okay.”
After a minor episode, the class meeting continued. However, this time, the students in the class couldn’t focus as their emotions were scattered, and they kept glancing back at Nan Yan.
Her sudden change had left them in shock.
Although they were scared, they were more concerned about why Nan Yan had reacted this way. Did she have some difficulties?
After school, Nan Yan left alone as usual. This prompted her classmates to stay behind and discuss.
“Boss must be in trouble!”
“Do we really need to say this? Anyone with eyes can see it!”
“The boss’s aura just now was so terrifying; I swear, I’ll never provoke her in the future.
“Exactly… It seems that the boss was quite gentle with us before and never really went all out!”
“But, guys, aren’t we supposed to be discussing what’s bothering the boss? It must be tough for her. Shouldn’t we try to help her?” “Yeah, I agree. The sports committee member has a point.”
“I agree too.”
“Since everyone cares about the boss, let’s discuss how we can help her!”
Nan Yan was unaware that a group of melodramatic teenagers in her class were brainstorming ways to help her in their own unique style.
When she arrived at the school gate, Jiang Wenqian hadn’t arrived yet. Nan Yan impatiently furrowed her brows and took out a lollipop from her pocket.
Eating candy when she was in a bad mood always lifted her spirits.
A few minutes later, Jiang Wenqian arrived with two of her followers.
“It seems you’re being obedient for once,” Jiang Wenqian sneered. “Come with me. If you behave well today, I’ll have some rewards for you.”
Nan Yan gave her a cold look but didn’t say anything. She followed behind them.
She hoped that the people she would meet inside would provide some resistance. Her emotions were unstable, and she needed an outlet.
At the Golden Brilliance KTV.
Jiang Wenqian led Nan Yan to a private room before stopping.
Outside the room stood a tall and burly bodyguard dressed in black.
Jiang Wenqian turned her head and said, “Nan Yan, the person inside is a VIP. He can crush the An family with a flick of his finger. He’s influential and generous. As long as you serve him well, you’ll have a prosperous life by his side.”
“You, a country bumpkin who was kicked out of the An family, probably want to stay in the bustling city, right? This is your opportunity.”
Jiang Wenqian was far from being sincere. Inside the room was President Liu, the person her family wanted to cozy up to. He had a penchant for young and beautiful women, and he enjoyed their company in a rather deviant way. Jiang Wenqian held a grudge against Nan Yan and came up with this two-birds-with-one-stone plan: to teach Nan Yan a lesson and to secure President Liu’s favor for her family.
“It looks like you care about me quite a bit,” Nan Yan said, a faint smile tugging at her lips. “You’re helping me find a way out. I was wrong about you before.” Jiang Wenqian didn’t expect Nan Yan to be so understanding, and she felt even more contemptuous of her.
However, if Nan Yan were willing to sell herself willingly, she could potentially become a useful partner in the future, bringing benefits to her family.
“If you’ve figured it out, that’s good,” Jiang Wenqian said with a smile. “Let’s go inside. President Liu is waiting for you.”
“I want you to escort me in,” Nan Yan casually placed her hand on Jiang
Wenqian’s shoulder, a sinister glint in her eyes. “What do you think?”
Jiang Wenqian was momentarily stunned but quickly assumed that Nan Yan felt embarrassed to go in alone and agreed with a simple nod. “Sure, I’ll accompany you inside.”
Her two followers immediately asked, “Wenqian, can we go in together too?” To be honest, they also wanted this opportunity! However, their looks were quite ordinary, and apart from being young, they didn’t have any advantages.
The people Jiang Wenqian’s family dealt with were all wealthy and wouldn’t take notice of them.
Thinking about this, they couldn’t help but feel jealous of Nan Yan.
Jiang Wenqian glanced around and said with a smile, “Of course, President Liu is quite extravagant and enjoys the company of many beautiful women. If you want, he might consider having you join in.”
“Really? That’s great!”
The two followers were overjoyed and straightened their backs, showing their best sides.
They pushed open the door, and all of them entered the room. Inside the private room, there was not just one man.
“Ah, Niece Wenqin is really smart. She knows to bring a few more people with her,” President Liu chuckled. But when his gaze fell on Nan Yan, he suddenly froze….
