Rebirth of an Idle Noblewoman

Chapter 381 Side Story 1: If We’ve Broken Up, Then We Should Act That Way

The September weather in the Imperial Capital was like a steamer, hot and stuffy.

A young girl was standing on the street, not even holding an umbrella under the hot sun. Her face was snow-white, and her fingers were long and slender, her overall appearance beautiful. She was nibbling an ice cream cone.

After eating the last of the crispy biscuit, she wiped her hands with a napkin, walking towards a trash can and throwing it away.

Just as she was doing so, a royal blue sports car stopped beside her with a ʼwooshʼ.

Shoving both hands in her pockets, Tan Yongsi stood in the place she was at, her eyes fixed on the vehicle quietly.

The car of the sports car opened, and a tall woman dressed in red stepped down. She took off the sunglasses on her face, her high heels clicking against the pavement as she walked. She came to a stop in front of Tan Yongsi, a condescending look on her face as her posture screamed arrogance. Her upturned eyes swept Tan Yongsi from head to toe, before contempt flashed through them.

”Youʼre Tan Yongsi?” The womanʼs nails which were painted with nail polish reflected under the sunlight, a mocking smile curling on her lips. ”This is an invitation to my and Yan Hanʼs engagement. I hope that Miss Tan… youʼll be able to attend.”

Tan Yongsi looked at the girl in front of her whose delicate features were painted on with makeup ”Miss Wen, are you sure you want to invite me?”

Wen Qing resisted the urge to smile wider. ”Of course, how could the engagement between me and Yan Han lack your blessing?”

”Oh, then, I give you my blessing.” Tan Yongsi raised an eyebrow.

”Tan Yongsi, you better understand the difference and gap between me and you. Donʼt chase after someone who you shouldnʼt chase after.” Wen Qing took out the red envelope, giving Tan Yongsi a glare. ”Yan Han is the only heir to the Yan family. You should be well aware of the Yan familyʼs status in the capital nowadays. Yan Han is just fooling around. With your position, Aunt Yan will not let you take even half a step towards the Yan family.”

Tan Yongsi snatched the envelope from Wen Qingʼs hand, impatience getting to her when she heard the other girlʼs words. ”Fine, the venue for the engagement? Iʼll be there. Miss Wen, Iʼd like to point out that driving in heels can easily cause an accident.”

Wen Qing paused in her steps, also losing her footing. She turned her head, giving her a vicious glare. Initially she had been planning to see Tan Yongsiʼs dejected face when she handed over the invitation, but she didnʼt expect to be the one to get angry!

Seriously!

The sun shining in the sky was just too glaring as Tan Yongsi looked at the red envelope in her hands with a cold look in her eyes.

Her phone chose to ring at this moment, letting out a melodious tone.

”Xuan Xuan, are you missing your queen?” Tan Yongsiʼs expression eased, her tone relaxed as she picked up the call. Ye Xuan, the person on the other end, was her roommate and best friend. They had been friends since junior high school till the present.

”Miss your freaking ghost head!” A roar came from the other side. ”What the heck is happening? Why is the entire department making a fuss, asking you to break up with Master Yan the moment I come back?!”

”Yeah, thatʼs right.”

”Mother f*cking! sh*t!” Ye Xuan roared again. ”You both are basically the epitome of lovers, how is it possible for you two to break up?”

Tan Yongsi watched the cars passing her on the road, her voice calmed as she said, ”Xuan Xuan, Yan Han is getting engaged. If you just browse the net, itʼs all news about his engagement.”

There was a moment of silence on the other end, before Ye Xuanʼs more cautious voice came through again. ”So, my dear, are you alright?”

”Extremely so.” Tan Yongsi covered her eyes with one hand, feeling the warmth spreading in her heart. ”It took me five years to see the reality of the world, thatʼs my loss.”

”Silly girl,” Ye Xuan said quietly. ”Come on back to the dorms, then weʼll talk.”

”Ah, youʼd have to wait a while more. I havenʼt found the right person for my daily fortune telling yet!” Tan Yongsi said suddenly.

”You still want to do that at this time? You really have such a big heart…”

Tan Yongsi hung up the phone and was just about to leave, when she caught sight of a young man. He had a tall build, and a handsome face. He was exactly what modern society would presently term as a ʼpopular pretty boyʼ with that face and dressing of his.
