When she heard the "Mr. He," Rong Dai suddenly recalled the information she had gotten from the original owner's classmates.
He Nianhao was a senior one grade higher than her at the same school.
He had been pursuing her ever since the original owner entered the school.
The girl who had shouted "He Nianhao" came over to the two of them. Her looks could not be considered stunning, but her eyebrows gave a mean impression.
When she saw Rong Dai sitting quietly here, she suddenly reacted as if seeing a mortal enemy!
"Rong Dai, how can you be so shameless?! You've flown up to a high branch and become a phoenix, yet you still come to seduce Mr. He!"
Yao Shilin stared at her, grinding her teeth audibly.
Rong Dai quickly recalled the relevant information in her mind, recognizing Yao Shilin as a student from the elite private Fanshengya Academy.
According to the information, she and another person, Cai Yunmeng, were joined at the hip, going everywhere together.
"Oh, isn't this the famous Mrs. Huo? Didn't you marry into a wealthy family? How can you still cling to our Mr. He?!"
Sure enough, as soon as she had straightened out these relationships, Cai Yunmeng came over with a mocking, ill-intentioned look that made it very difficult for her to like the girl.
Now she understood a little why Song Xuechun and Liang Jiayi had spoken about them with such distaste at the cafe.
This girl whose first words were so irritating was truly hard to like.
A faint smile appeared on her exquisite and delicate face as she elegantly stood up holding her wine glass.
Embarrassingly, in these intrigues and jealousies between women, she had never lost except to the emperor's favoritism in her past life.
She was never afraid of being schemed against, but she would also never allow others to provoke her.
There was no imperial family tradition here like in her past life, so she did not need to worry about so much.
Reborn into this life, she just wanted to live comfortably and happily.
Her beautiful eyes smiled as she looked over the two girls, and she said lightly, "It seems Fanshengya's education of students has really been negligent since I left school."
"Miss Yao, I may have flown up to a branch, but I fear you can't even find which branch you're on! And if we're talking about seduction, isn't that a more fitting description of yourself?"
"Mr. He and I are students from the same school. Is it seduction just for us to talk? Or is there a law stating that married women cannot speak to men?"
Her rebuttal left Yao Shilin speechless, flushing red and glaring at her with eyes that seemed to want to swallow her up!
Just as she was about to retort to Rong Dai, Rong Dai shifted her gaze to Cai Yunmeng, not even considering the other girl worth her attention.
"As for you, Miss Cai, originally I didn't want to argue with you two in such a comfortable setting, but your words have truly left me in admiration. Not a shred of upbringing in what comes out of your mouths."
"What exactly have Mr. He and I done? Or is it that because my husband is worth billions, I as his wife can only be a caged canary without even basic socializing?"
"If not for the fact that you two are modern women, I would have thought you were still living in the Qing dynasty!"
"Next time you see me, I'll trouble you to speak with some manners and upbringing, since I also don't want to lose face following your example."
Cai Yunmeng and Yao Shilin were both rendered speechless by Rong Dai's sharp tongue, unable to utter a word in rebuttal.
"And one more thing, I didn't come to this party for Mr. He's sake. If I had known it was at Mr. He's family home, I definitely would have avoided any misunderstanding instead of shamelessly following along like you two."
"I have other matters to attend to, excuse me."
Rong Dai didn't give them a chance to speak at all. Maintaining her elegance and composure, she nodded slightly at He Nianhao and left holding her wine glass to go find Lu Nianzhi.
"Mr. He, look at that Rong Dai! Simply shameless and unreasonable! A woman like that only desires vanity. For money, for marrying into a wealthy household, she didn't even tell you anything about her marriage!"
"Mr. He, I truly feel you've been hard done by. You gave so much for Rong Dai, yet she turned around and married into a wealthy family. A shameless woman like that, you shouldn't waste any more time on her!"
Unable to get at Rong Dai, Yao Shilin could only turn to speak to He Nianhao, but her words were thoughtless.
Even Cai Yunmeng felt a little unable to continue listening. Everyone from both schools knew Yao Shilin liked He Nianhao.
But He Nianhao was stubbornly chasing after Rong Dai, so wasn't Yao Shilin being stupid saying this?
How could He Nianhao like hearing her denigrate Rong Dai to his face like this?
Sure enough, He Nianhao looked at the two girls in disgust, his voice cold enough to chill them to the bone: "Who I like is my own freedom. What kind of person Rong Dai is, I understand better than you, there's no need for you two to try so hard to smear her."
After speaking, he turned and left to go find Rong Dai.
"That b*tch! How can she still be so clinging after getting married! That Zuo Ran is useless, why didn't he kill her!"
Seeing He Nianhao turn and leave, Yao Shilin stamped her feet in anger, looking even meaner in her malicious eyebrows.
Cai Yunmeng sighed inwardly, if not for Yao Shilin's money, she wouldn't indulge that awful temper of hers. Did she really think she was a princess?
She had no choice but to patiently comfort Yao Shilin. As long as their plan this time gained TK Group's favor, her future would be bright and she wouldn't have to demeaningly fawn over others anymore.
After leaving, Rong Dai did not find Lu Nianzhi and just quietly stood alone in the hallway, leaning against the window looking at the scenery in the manor.
Although it was still a little cold just after spring started, the potted plants and flowers in the manor had just been brought out, vibrant and colorful.
"Why be bothered by their words? Getting angry will do you no good."
As if having grown eyes on her, He Nianhao came over in less than two minutes.
Rong Dai turned to look at him, subconsciously taking a step back to keep her distance.
He Nianhao's smile turned bitter. The window ledge was wide enough for two people to stand side by side with space left over.
"Won't you give me an answer? I...really want your answer."
He Nianhao's voice was pleasant to listen to, not as magnetic as Huo Shaoting's, but light and fitting his somewhat melancholy temperament.
Rong Dai sighed inwardly. What explanation could she give? She didn't even recognize He Nianhao!
But this was the original host's circumstances in life. Even if she didn't understand, she couldn't make those who had crossed paths with her forget.
So no matter how difficult, she could only offer an explanation.
