"Your past boyfriend?"
Yu Yan nodded. Before she met Bao Tu, she had just broken up with her past boyfriend because of some conflict-no, not conflict, her first boyfriend hooked up with her sister. They didn't end up on the bed, but she had seen them kissing with each other and confessed to each other.
It was so disgusting that she nearly beat them up in public. Unfortunately, she still retained some of her rationality, so she didn't attack them.
Her boyfriend at that time worked in sweet related company, which unfortunately made him someone who was also connected to the company where she worked. The fallout with her caused her first boyfriend to refuse the deal with the company.
The company managed to solve it, but the managers and her teammates blamed her for making them lose the deal. Yu Yan dealt with it strongly and took care of the matter. It was not of that much importance for the company back then, which only halted Yu Yan's promotion.
It was during this period of time that Yu Yan and Feng Mian became friend. When everyone didn't see her, Yu Yan would cry her heart out. It was only coincidence that Feng Mian found her, drinking her sorrow on Friday night in the bar not far from this motel. Since Feng Mian had been quite close with Yu Yan in the company, she helped the latter. The two of them have been close since then, helping each other and have fun together.
"W…Why?"
"Why?" Yu Yan repeated the question and simply shook her head. She looked at her own hand. Ever since a long time ago, she had always been the bad one in her family while her sister was the best.
Even after she chose to leave to City F, they still didn't leave her alone.
Yu Yan showed a helpless gaze on her eyes. "Mother and Father would be angry, but I don't care anymore. I think, I haven't told you much about my family, right? I come from a middle range family in the capital city. My family is not that prominent, but we're pretty good.
When I was a child, me and my sister are close to each other. However, whatever I want, my sister always wanted it too. When I finally graduated from high school, my sister insisted that I work so that she would have enough money to court people from the richer family.
In my family, I'm always the one with worse result. Because of that, Father and Mother agreed to what my sister suggest. I'm the only one who didn't."
Yu Yan paused for a bit, her eyes showed traces of pain. "I ran out of my house and lived in City F. I worked part time for a year to collect money and then started my tuition in university. Thankfully, I can earn enough even though I have to work while studying."
"Didn't your family send someone to chase you?"
"They did, but I refused to return back. No matter what, they could not force me to return back or I'll release to the media the record of when they shouted at me, forcing me to work even though I come from a well off family," Yu Yan replied. "The recorder is kept by a lot of people from my school, whom I asked to release it as soon as there was any news about me returning to Yu Family."
Yu Family…
It was quite a prominent family but compared to Zhang Family. Heh, they were not even worth mentioning on the same page even if Yu Family was only squeezed at the corner of the page.
"My family managed to find some of them while the rest are unknown. I would never tell them how many people I sent the record to," Yu Yan said calmly. The way she spoke was as if she was telling the story of a stranger that was completely unrelated to her. "In actuality, I also send you one not long ago."
Feng Mian's eyes widened. She was not in the mood to check her email, so she didn't check it. Her eyes narrowed. "Are you thinking that your family might do something to you?"
"Maybe, maybe not," Yu Yan's eyes gleamed. "Bao Family is more powerful than my previous boyfriend, which might be the reason why my sister aimed at him. It was only a step away from reaching the top 10 most powerful families in the capital city."
Feng Mian nodded. "If you want to, I can ask Liang to help."
"No. This is my battle," Yu Yan said slowly as a ruthless glint appeared on her eyes. No matter what, she would not allow her best friend to do the dirty work for her. She wanted to make her family pay with her own hands.
"Alright."
Yu Yan looked at Feng Mian then pinched the latter's cheek. "You're the best female friend I have ever met. What do I do to deserve you?"
"What are you talking about?" Feng Mian let out laugh and pulled Yu Yan's hand. "You're my best friend. If you ever need me, I'll always be here for you."
"En." Yu Yan smiled and hugged Feng Mian tightly, feeling happy that she met with Feng Mian in this life. Even though they didn't meet under the best circumstances, they grew closer to each other with time.
