An Angelic B*tch's Climb Up the Social Ladder - Chapter 24

Chap 24- Bumping Into Tang Ziyu at the Birthday Party

Friday evening, the capital was in rare good weather.

The distant mountains are beautiful, the setting sun is magnificent, and the high-end villa area in the suburbs – Jinhai- seemed as if it was located in the forest— very pleasant sounds of the cicadas and birds could be heard.

When night fell, the lawn of a certain villa was already very lively. Several long tables were filled with various snacks and fruits. Balloons decorated the lawn, and when coupling that with flashes of blue light, made a cozy and harmonious atmosphere.

More than twenty men and women are talking and laughing, sometimes toasting and drinking.

As today’s main lead, Han Xing wore a blue tulle dress and draped a shawl over her shoulder— the style of a European princess. She looked at the door from time to time, as if waiting for someone.

“I say, Han Xing, where’s the big beauty you’ve been talking about? Why isn’t she here yet?”
Someone spoke up next to him, “It couldn’t be that she’s scared?”

“Yeah, give her a call!”

The onlookers were chiming in because of that one time where Han Xing had accidentally let out that someone was even more beautiful than Senior Sister Zhou Qin, hence the two boys insisted on coming to the birthday party to take a look.

As for who Zhou Qin is… she is a goddess widely recognized in YU, she has both talent and appearance, and has the aura of a fairy that made one afraid they’d violate her if they got too close.

Who can be prettier than her? Must be bragging.

Han Xing can’t be bothered with them. She was about to take out her mobile phone to call Zhinan when she saw the helper leading the girl over to them, everyone turned their heads and looked.

Her face was barely discernible under the faint light, a few crisp hairs were glowing a golden colour under her loose bun. As she slowly approached, the mist dissipated, to reveal her bright eyes shining like stars.

Seeing so many people, there seemed to be a flash of surprise in her eyes.

A blooming flower that’s scorchingly brilliant. Really bright and unparalleled.

Under such a dazzling color, Zhou Qin’s fairy aura and coldness seemed tasteless.

“Nannan, you are here!”

Following the cheery voice, everyone returned to their senses. Han Xing took a few steps over and took her hand, “You are too much, I asked you out so many times, but you’re never free.

“If it wasn’t for my birthday, I wouldn’t even be able to see you huh? I’m so angry.”

Seeing her pout, Zhinan didn’t know whether to laugh or cry, “The hotel had been really busy lately.”

“Hmph, too busy to even send me messages.” She complained, turned her head, and noticed something strange, “Eh? NanNan, when did you have a mole on your ear?”

She touched the outline of Lin Zhinan’s right ear with her hand.

Zhinan’s heart shrunk in nervousness, “It’s always been there, must be a birthmark.”

“Really?” she wondered, “I remember it was clean and white last time.”

“You must have remembered it wrong.” Zhinan didn’t dare to continue this topic anymore, and said, “Who are they?”

She was referring to the few people who had their eyes glued to her. Only then did Han Xing remember to introduce them. She led Zhinan over and introduced her classmates from YU and her close friends.

They were basically people from her class or the student council that she clicked with. Zhinan smiled politely and noted down their names one by one internally.

Never know if it’d be useful in the future.

“This is Lin Zhinan, a good friend I met outside school.”

Following Han Xing’s words, Zhinan’s lips upturned slightly, the light waves of her eyes made several boys red in the ear.

“How about it, isn’t she pretty?” Han Xing was very proud, “Who said she’s afraid of coming just now?”

“Who said that, why don’t I know?” Jiang Li, who had chimed in earlier, refused to admit it, his face flushed red even when his gaze met Zhinan’s, and nodded dazedly, “Yeah, she’s really beautiful.”

Han Xing, “What about when compared to Senior Sister Zhou Qin?”

“………”

“Say it!” Looking at him, Han Xing knew his answer but just wanted him to admit it himself, “What about when compared to Senior Sister Zhou Qin, you say it!”

“XingXing!” Zhi Nan hurriedly interrupted, smiled at the few boys on the opposite side, and pulled Han Xing to the side.

Please elder sister, don’t pull aggro to me everywhere.

Zhinan’s heart was as if it had been fried in a frying pan.

The jealousy between girls is always baffling, just like the previous time outside the entrance of YU.

A so-called beauty to them was just a source to hate on. She doesn’t want Zhou Qin to have a feud with her before entering YU.

She pretended to ask Han Xing, “Who is Zhou Qin you were talking about?”

“Oh, she is a senior in the art academy, she is the goddess in their words. She was going to be here today, but she went on a trip to Japan with Brother Yihuai…”

Han Xing looked at her, who seemed to be lost, and said, “It’s Lu Yihuai, the person who is also famed as the esteemed duo of YU with Brother Jiang Ting. It wasn’t until I saw him pick up Zhou Qin from school the other day, had I known that they were together.”

She leaned into Zhinan’s ear and whispered, “But I don’t like her very much…”

Zhinan isn’t concerned with the enmity between the girls but was moved when she heard it’s related to Jiang Ting.

Lu Yihuai? The esteemed duo of YU?

It seems that he’s very close with Jiang Ting, but it shouldn’t be a hindrance to me…

As she was thinking, Han Xing pulled her to the long table, “Let’s go eat!”

Zhinan sat down with her. Before she could begin eating, she heard a few sounds of sharp motors piercing the night, and the cars stopped in front of the villa. Just by listening to that sound, one would be able to tell that it was expensive.

Footsteps travelled from the hall.

“Little XingXing, happy birthday!”

“Look at the gift your Zhang-gege brought you.”

The voice was very arrogant, and Zhinan and everyone else’s sights looked over, to see two teens walking over with their hands tucked in their pockets. Coincidentally, she actually knew one of them.
— Tang Ziyu.

Her breathing ceased, she very much wanted to find a hole and bury herself in it. Goodness,
she thought they’d never ever meet again, is the capital so small?

Zhi Nan turned around immediately, her head almost buried in the table, secretly wishing that the night and the crowd could conceal her. In the time that Tang Ziyu hadn’t seen her, she’d find a way to slip away.

However, things go contrary to one’s wishes. Tang Ziyu only skimmed over with a cold eye, and immediately noticed the person next to Han Xing, just the outline of her ears made him feel heart palpitations familiar.

He frowned and strode over.

The shadow looming next to her had nearly blocked all of Zhinan’s sight, thus, she had no choice but to raise her head. Tang Ziyu’s pupils contracted slightly, “It’s really you!”
