The Bigshot Shocks The World When She Backs Home Chapter 372 - An Enigma

Chapter 372: An Enigma

Yao Tang sighed inwardly. “I’m doing very well, Grandma. You don’t have anything to worry about.”

As he spoke, Aunt w.a.n.ggot in the front pa.s.senger seat.

She turned around and smiled at Yao Tang. “The Old Madam is really concerned about you. You’re all she talks about at home, saying how much she misses you and wants to see you.”

Yao Ran’s lips twitched after hearing that.

Envy and hatred raged inside her.

She had to take a few deep breaths to calm herself and not betray her true feelings.

‘This old hag…’

The old lady had only known Yao Tangfor a short time, and yet she already doted on that b.u.mpkin as if she had no other grandchildren.

Yao Ran had been her one and only granddaughter in the last ten years, but the family matriarch never treated her half as well as she didYao Tang.

Of course, Yao Ranwas painfully aware that she wasn’t related to them by blood, but that didn’t mean that she was any worse thanYao Tang.

Yao Ran was raised properly and was provided with the best education the city could offer.Yao Tangcouldn’t even begin to compare with her, what with her filthy and less than ideal upbringing.

How could the Old Madam be so blatant with her favoritism?

Yao Ran gritted her teeth and reminded herself that she hadn’t lost yet.

‘Just wait until I show you the DNA test results. Let’s see if you would still adore your dear Tangtangthen!’

“Grandma is very fond of you, Sister,” she said to Yao Tang. “You should spend more time with her from now on. Don’t let her worry too much.”

Her words might seem lighthearted to others, but they carried a snide undertone.

She was implying that Yao Tangdidn’t care aboutOld Madam Yaoenough to pay her a visit, therefore causing the old lady to worry. In a nutsh.e.l.l,Yao Ranmade it seem likeYao Tangwas an irresponsible and inconsiderate grandchild.

Unexpectedly, Old Madam Yaospoke up herself and refutedYao Ran.

“What’s wrong with how she is right now? I often miss my Tangtang, even when she is with me. How can I expect my granddaughter to stay by my side all the time? She should be living her youth to the fullest and enjoying her school life.”

Yao Ran’s cheeks flushed with embarra.s.sment.

Yang Nian glanced atYao Tang, but his eyes remained indifferent.

He wasn’t interested in meddling with the internal matters of the Yao family.

There was one thing he was curious about, though. His parents often referred to Old Madam Yaoas a rigid and serious woman.

But the Old Madam Yao sitting in front of him at the moment was nothing but warm and kind.

It didn’t add up, and it bothered him because he knew his parents would never lie about something so trivial.

Yao Tang was silent for the remainder of the drive.

She only opened her mouth whenever Old Madam Yaoaddressed her, and even then, her words were scarce. Needless to say, she didn’t want to speak toYao RanorYang Nianat all.

Despite himself, Yang Niancouldn’t help but study her. This girl was like an enigma. He could never figure out what was in her mind, and she always seemed to take him by surprise.

Soon, the minivan stopped in front of a large hotel. The Yao familyhad dispensed with the idea of a simple, intimate dinner and instead chose a restaurant to welcomeYang Nian.

They were determined to impress him tonight.

Yao Yuan stood at the entrance in a tailored business suit. Beside him wasQin Man, who had also dressed up in formal attire. They were all smiles as they prepared to greet their special guest.

Qin Man, in particular, beamed when the minivan came to a halt.

She walked forward and waited for the chauffeur to open the door.

Her face immediately changed the moment she laid eyes on Yao Tang.

This girl was the one person she didn’t want to see tonight!

The pa.s.sengers of the minivan filtered out, with Yao Tangin the rear, followed byYang Nian.

Qin Man was visibly upset. “Yao Tang, what are you doing here? Who told you to come, huh? How dare you…”

She caught herself just in time as Yang Nianhopped out of the vehicle.

Qin Man swallowed her words and shut her mouth.Yao Yuantugged herself from behind and coughed meaningfully. He was warning her not to cause another debacle.

And so, Qin Manmustered a bright smile. “Young Master Yang, you’re here! Welcome, welcome.”

To her relief, Yang Nianonly nodded and said nothing.

Still, Qin Mancould not rest easy knowing thatYao Tangwas also here.

She sneered at the girl and reprimanded her in a low voice. “Yao Tang, does Second Brother know that you’re here? What about the rest of your family? Aren’t you worried that it might cause them trouble for you to show up uninvited like this?”
