To outsiders, Guan Su Lin appeared to be nothing more than an expensive and luxurious necklace, highly ornamental.
While her father and grandfather were conversing, Guan Miao inadvertently overheard that her uncle had returned with a female companion, who was likely to become her future aunt. She couldn't help but wonder which unfortunate girl had caught her uncle's eye.
Guan Miao felt a surge of emotions and tilted her head, only to find Guan Qingmo bullying someone again. He was kicking Tan Yan repeatedly, clearly taking advantage of the fact that no one could see him.
Guan Miao wanted to intervene but feared provoking Guan Qingmo's wrath. Her brother had a knack for losing control, regardless of the occasion or his mood; once he started, there was no stopping him.
After a moment's thought, she stood up and walked over to Tan Yan. "How about I switch places with you?"
Guan Qingmo's attention was evidently elsewhere; upon hearing her words, he shot her a glare, his eyes sparking with fury as if he were about to unleash a torrent of curses.
In contrast, Tan Yan remained impassive, his face hidden behind blindfold sunglasses. The light in the main hall flickered and danced, casting shadows across his pale complexion, giving him an air of calm elegance. However, the shoe prints on his trousers seemed at odds with his pristine demeanor.
Guan Qingmo gritted his teeth and retorted, "Guan Miao, I warn you not to stir up trouble."
"Don't you cause trouble either," she shot back. "Uncle is coming back with his girlfriend any moment now. If you scare her off with your antics, just wait for him to deal with you."
Guan Miao knew that Guan Qingmo was also afraid of their uncle and deliberately used this to intimidate him. Sure enough, he fell silent and turned away, his jaw muscles twitching in frustration as he struggled to contain his anger.
Just as Guan Miao was about to speak to Tan Yan again, she noticed that the usually quiet man had lifted his head at some point. Her heart skipped a beat as she instinctively wondered what he was looking at.
Following Tan Yan's gaze revealed nothing out of the ordinary; it seemed he had merely shifted his position and was completely oblivious to the commotion around him.
Before Guan Miao could say anything further, the noise from behind drew her attention. When she turned back around, she saw Tan Yan adjusting himself once more, aligning perfectly with the direction she had been observing.
At that moment, two people entered the main hall, and a servant crouched down at their feet to change their slippers.
Most people in the courtyard had little impression of Guan Su Lin, and their expressions reflected that indifference. Consequently, all eyes, except for Guan Li's, were focused on Zheng Mengni.
She had a delicate and beautiful oval face, her skin fair and translucent, resembling a peeled lychee—plump and tender. Beneath her elegantly arched brows were bright, captivating eyes; her nose was small and refined, while her lips were soft and pink. Her dark curls were elegantly pinned up at the back of her head. With a slender and graceful figure, she was stunningly beautiful, drawing people in effortlessly.
Guan Su Lin also presented himself well, exuding vitality. Dressed in an expensive suit that accentuated his tall and composed demeanor, he wore a standardized smile that maintained the charming image of a Young Master. A hint of inscrutable meaning lingered at the corners of his lips, making him hard to read.
Zheng Mengni leaned against Guan Su Lin, calm and collected as she responded to the curious gazes coming from all directions. Following Guan Su Lin's gaze, she began to memorize the faces around her.
In a prominent position in the main hall, on the far right side of the sofa, sat a man. His sunglasses obscured his eyes, but his familiar face was directed squarely at Zheng Mengni.
Her gaze suddenly lingered for a moment, her heart skipping a beat as a flicker of surprise flashed in her eyes. Yet in just a second, she redirected her attention back to Guan Su Lin, holding onto him tighter and drawing closer.
Tan Yan rested his elbows on his knees, pinching his palm as if unaware that Zheng Mengni was looking at him.
