The National Goddess Reborn

Chapter 3: The Family that Puts on an Act

Nian Chaoyu's face turned ashen as he slammed his palm on the table. "Who allowed her to attend the Li family's banquet? Don't you think it's embarrassing enough?"

"Dad, don't be angry. It's not like you don't know that Chen Yiran is there. That's why Yue Yue ran over..." Nian Yan walked down the stairs and comforted him.

However, when she said this, Nian Chaoyu's face turned ashen. "Does she still behave like a girl?! She's following Chen Yiran around every day! Don't you find it embarrassing enough? I shouldn't have brought her back! I'll call her now and send her away! I don't want to embarrass myself anymore!"

Nian Chaoyu pretended to make a phone call, but Nian Yan quickly stopped him. "Dad, Yue Yue just came back. If you chase her out now, won't you be making it public?"

"That's right. Don't be agitated. We'll talk about it when Yue Yue comes back..."

A beautiful woman sitting on the sofa said.

"Look at what time it is now? It's all your fault. I told you not to spoil her, but look at what has happened now. She's just a girl. Why isn't she back by now? She didn't even call home!"

Nian Chaoyu was so angry that his face was flushed red. The beautiful woman hurriedly went to calm him down. "Don't be angry. This isn't the first time this has happened. I thought that everything would be fine..."

"What did you say?!"

Nian Chaoyu exploded when he heard this. "You said that she has been staying out late? She went out to fool around?!"

"Not really..."

The beautiful woman seemed to have some concerns and didn't dare to say anything. However, she had to say it out of consideration for Nian Chaoyu.

"Dad, don't be fierce to Mom. She didn't do it on purpose. You know that Yue Yue has never liked..."

Clap! Clap Clap!

An ear-piercing slow clap rang out, and everyone looked towards the door simultaneously.

Nian Yue was already standing at the door. She was dressed in a simple black shirt and white pants, and her hair was draped over her shoulders. Her actions were unruly and indifferent.

There was a coldness that emanated from deep within.

This was still the same Nian Yue, but there seemed to be something different about her!

Nian Yue's lips curled up slightly as her frosty gaze swept across the few of them.

The person facing her was Nian Chaoyu, the father of the Host and the head of the Nian family.

The beautiful woman sitting next to Nian Chaoyu was wearing a fiery red dress and had a thick layer of foundation on her face. Those who didn't know better would think that she was going to attend some noble ladies' banquet.

This was her stepmother, Wang Meihua.

The seventeen year old woman next to Wang Meihua, was the devious sister who encouraged the Host to attend the Li family banquet.

The family of three sat neatly as if they were having a meeting.

"You still know that you have to come back?"

When Nian Chaoyu saw her, he immediately exploded. "Which girl is as shameless as you are! You've disgraced the entire Nian Family!"

"Dad, don't be angry!"

"Yue Yue is still young. It's inevitable for her to make mistakes..."

Nian Yan was the first to speak, followed by Wang Meihua.

"Yue Yue, apologize to Dad. Promise you won't go again!" Nian Yan acted like a caring elder sister.

"Oh..."

Nian Yue yawned and glanced at the clock on the wall. It was one in the morning, yet this family could still wait until now. It was really not easy to put on an act in front of her.

"Didn't you ask me to go?"

Nian Yue blinked curiously.

"What did you say..." Nian Yan laughed dryly." Yue Yue, I know you're afraid that Dad will punish you if he finds out about this, but you have to be honest and not lie through your teeth..."

"But I'm telling the truth..." Nian Yue put on an innocent look." You were the one who told me that I would have a lot of delicious food at Uncle Li's banquet..."

"I..."

Nian Yan could not quite figure out Nian Yue's personality at that moment. She had clapped at the start with a face full of indifference, but now, her face was filled with innocence...

"Stop it!"

Nian Chaoyu rubbed his temples and said, "Nian Yan, come here!"

His tone was stern and Nian Yan shivered from his scolding. She quickly lowered her head and said, "I understand."

Only Wang Meihua and Nian Yue were left in the living room. Nian Yue could not be bothered with her. She walked straight to the dining table and sat down.

She hadn't eaten anything at the banquet today and her body was starving.

As for the grudge with Nian Yan, there was no hurry. She could take it slow..
