2 Years Of Restarting

Long Ying looked at Yu Yan. "Why do you want to appear in party again?"

"I want to see whether my sister will really use me or not. If she really wishes to use me when I'm not even present, how can I give her some gifts?" Yu Yan's eyes narrowed. She truly didn't want to be used by her sister again.

Besides, she had appeared with Bao Tu in the past, so there might be chance that they would use her name to slander her. Hmph, she would let them see that she was not a sponge they could beat whenever they wished.

"It's today?"

"Yes."

Long Ying clenched his fist. He could guess that there might be some ill-intentioned people who didn't like Yu Yan and made trouble with her in the party. If only it was possible, he would like to cancel all of his appointment and come with her.

"Do you want me to…"

"No need." Yu Yan narrowed her eyes. "That cheating pair must have already heard that I'm married but didn't know to who. It's too early to reveal my handsome husband to them."

"Oh, are you worried that they'll recognize me."

"That's one and another one is I know you're busy." Yu Yan passed a glance at Long Ying. "I don't think I have ever asked you about this…. Are your parents also in the Capital City?"

Long Ying, who was getting dressed, stopped momentarily. "No, they're in City A."

"Oh."

"If you want to meet them, I'll bring you there when the time is right." Long Ying hesitated for a bit. "I'll tell you more about them at later time."

"Alright."

Thinking about it now, Yu Yan felt that she barely knew anything about Long Ying even though she had been staying with him for a long time. When he was in the Capital City, the only relative who stayed with him was his uncle, whom she saw beating him up to drag him back.

His parents were never in the picture, which was why Yu Yan hesitated to ask about them. But from the way Long Ying spoke, she knew that they were still alive and live in City A.

Was there a reason why he didn't seem to be willing to talk about them?

'He'll tell me if he wants to at later time.'

Yu Yan first had her morning practice and breakfast before she readied herself to the party. By the time she was ready Long Ying was already nowhere to be seen. Only Lan Huo was left in the garden.

"Madam, Boss is already going first."

Yu Yan nodded. "I know. Head to Hotel Zhibei Dangao."

"Yes, Madam."

Hotel Zhibei Dangao was one of the few hotels under Zhang Corporation. It was also a very expensive hotel that was mostly used to host some high ends party. Because of the elegance and the price, only those who were truly rich could actually hold party here.

Yu Yan looked at the invitation in her hand as her lips curled up to form a mocking smile. Just how much money did her aunt wasted just to hold this one party? At least a few hundred thousands of yuan or even a million. After all, the price in Hotel Zhibei Dangao was known to be one of the most expensive in the capital city.

The annual profit from the mines were in millions of yuan but it was divided for several people. Her aunt could get at most get 10 millions of yuan per year just from her share. The other money?

It could only come from a company, which was managed by her husband.

'How wasteful.'

Not wanting to think too much, Yu Yan simply stepped inside. She showed her invitation and entered the venue.

The blinding light greeted her the moment she entered the room. Countless people were inside, talking, laughing, or even eating. They didn't pay much attention to who was coming as the party had started. The main star of the party, Kang Mao Yao, was attracting everyone's attention at the stage.

Dressed in lavish red dress, Kang Mao Yao also wore several expensive jewelries. She looked like the queen as she stood there with a lot of people fawning over here.

In the past, she was the top socialite in City A and naturally had good figure and was also very famous. Even though she had started to age, she still maintained her good looks and could be seen very often in multiple parties she attended. In every party, she would be wearing trending clothes and also high end brands that clearly represented her status.

Yu Yan's eyes landed on the old man who stood not far from her with indifference. Unlike Kang Mao Yao who still looked young, the old man looked like he was already in his seventies. If one didn't know better, they would never have thought that this person and Kang Mao Yao was husband and wife.

The middle aged man, Lei Huan, was already 60 something years old. He was indeed older than Kang Mao Yao and the two married when he was forty while Kang Mao Yao was in her mid-thirties. The two never had any romantic relationship and only got together due to the arrangement of Grandfather Kang.

Lei Huan was a businessman and developed Jewelries company along with Grandfather Kang. The profit of the business was certainly more than 10 times compared to their little mines but the cost to operate was also high. The share of the company was divided between Lei Huan and also Grandfather Kang, but after their marriage, Grandfather Kang gave the share to his daughter, Kang Mao Yao.

Thanks to that, Kang Mao Yao was rich and Lei Huan could continue the business without the need to worry.

He and his wife is the biggest shareholder and naturally the one who had the say the most.

Unfortunately, their relationship was very cold. Even now, Yu Yan could already see that the two of them were keeping their distance.. They had been married for 20 years, yet they still act as if they were strangers.
