Chapter 363: Chapter 349: An Illegitimate Daughter of a Big Shot, and Look How Arrogant You Are

Although Sun Canxing wasn’t a local rich kid from Haitong City,

her name had become quite infamous in those circles lately.

The reason was simple.

Sun Canxing, who came from an ordinary family,

had gotten herself entangled with the two most untouchable scions in Haitong City.

And on the worst possible terms.

Forget about ordinary people;

even other rich kids felt sorry for Sun Canxing’s misfortune.

Any other heir would be at their wit’s end facing Yu Qiming or Lai Yu Yao alone,

and would inevitably choose to apologize with their tail between their legs.

So what chance did someone like Sun Canxing, from a normal family, have?

Many people knew Lai Yu Yao had specifically invited Sun Canxing over tonight

just to cause trouble for her.

"Haha, hahaha, the heavens are truly on my side."

"I was going to have my own guys come over to take care of that fellow,"

"but I never thought I’d get to watch a good show without even lifting a finger."

Zou Baixuan fired off a quick reply to his buddy,

then stuffed the phone into his pocket

and excitedly hurried out of the parking lot.

’So he wants someone else to do his dirty work.’

The young man with a cigarette dangling from his lips paid it no mind.

With one hand in his pocket, he ambled cheerfully toward the party venue.

There were a lot of young college girls here tonight,

and he planned to be an excellent hunter and pick his prey carefully.

"Lai Yu Yao, Lai Yu Yao."

Zou Baixuan hurriedly found Lai Yu Yao in the crowd, then lowered his voice. "I have something I need to tell you."

"What is it?" Lai Yu Yao asked.

"Too many people here. Let’s move over there," Zou Baixuan said.

Lai Yu Yao hesitated for a moment but followed him aside.

She then heard Zou Baixuan begin, "About what happened in that villa earlier—"

Before he could finish, Lai Yu Yao cut him off. "Are you upset because I didn’t give you any face earlier?"

"N-No, not at all."

Lai Yu Yao’s sudden seriousness made Zou Baixuan nervous.

When it came to interacting with her,

the elders of his family had repeatedly and sternly warned him

not to try anything clever.

Lai Yu Yao’s background was frighteningly powerful, far beyond what his family could ever handle.

If Zou Baixuan treated her like any other girl

and played his usual sinister, underhanded tricks,

it would bring an unmanageable disaster down on his family.

Coupled with the fact that he had just been mentally cursing Lai Yu Yao, calling her a pretentious bitch,

he suddenly felt a pang of guilt.

"Stop pretending."

"How much is your pride worth to me?"

"What gives you the right to expect me to give you face?"

"If you’re just going to spout nonsense,"

"then get lost."

"If Yu Qiming were here, maybe I’d show him some consideration."

Lai Yu Yao said with a cold sneer.

"Yes, yes, of course. I wasn’t thinking straight earlier."

"Please don’t hold it against me."

"I really did come over to tell you something."

"The man in the black flat cap from the villa earlier,"

"he’s Sun Canxing’s Martial Arts instructor."

"Sun Canxing was only able to take the graduation exam because he helped her."

"He signed off as her supervising instructor."

"That directly defied Yu Qiming’s wishes."

"And besides, isn’t Sun Canxing the person you hate most?"

Zou Baixuan maintained a sycophantic smile,

but inwardly he was already cursing Lai Yu Yao with a vengeance.

’That damn bitch, speaking so bluntly.’

’Fortunes change. The tables will turn.’

’One day you’ll fall,’

’and we’ll see how I’ll deal with you then. I’ll make you kneel before me and beg for mercy.’

He could curse all he wanted in his head, but he didn’t dare let a hint of it show.

"Is that true?"

Lai Yu Yao knew that Sun Canxing had participated in the Martial Arts graduation exam,

but she wasn’t aware of the specific circumstances,

nor did she know who had acted as Sun Canxing’s Martial Arts instructor.

She never expected that Sun Canxing would not only accept her invitation,

but also bring her Martial Arts instructor along.

This plunged Lai Yu Yao into a moment of contemplation.

’Why would Sun Canxing do this?’

’Doesn’t she know I’m hostile towards her?’

’And she dares bring her instructor? Isn’t she afraid of dragging him down with her?’

’Is there something more to this?’

After a brief moment of thought, Lai Yu Yao didn’t dwell on it further and simply turned and walked away.

Zou Baixuan’s ingratiating smile didn’t fade until Lai Yu Yao was a good distance away.

Good thing no one else was around, or that would have been even more humiliating.

A dark cloud settled over Zou Baixuan’s face.

He muttered to himself, ’Just the illegitimate daughter of some big shot, and acting so high and mighty.’

...

Back at the bonfire party, Sun Canxing called over her bodyguard.

This man was her personal bodyguard, with duties distinct from the estate’s security staff.

Sun Canxing leaned in and whispered some instructions in his ear. The bodyguard nodded and walked away.

Soon,

the bodyguard returned with several security guards, all of them looking serious.

One of the guards walked directly up to Sun Canxing and said, "Miss Sun Canxing, hello."

"We have reason to suspect that the friend you brought with you has stolen valuables from one of the villas. We must now ask you and your friend to submit to an inspection."

"What are you talking about?"
