Chapter 4: Not Too Silly After all

The food on the table had been left on the table for too long and had lost its original taste. However, Nian Yue seemed to not notice it at all. She lowered her head and finished all the food on the table.

In the post-apocalyptic world, food was a fantasy for humans. They only needed energy.

Therefore, the food was viewed as sustenance.

She didn’t care about the taste, as long as it could fill her stomach.

Wang Meihua looked at Nian Yue’s back view and felt even more puzzled.

When did this idiot become so obedient?

Thinking about this, Wang Meihua walked up to Nian Yue and asked, “Yue Yue, school starts tomorrow. Do you want to continue with your third year?”

Nian Yue was only 18 years old this year. She was brought back by Nian Chaoyu because she had to take the college entrance examination next year.

It was just that she was born in a small village and her English scores were all in the single digits. If she continued to stay there, she might not even be able to get into a vocational course. Nian Chaoyu had brought her back because he was afraid of embarrassing himself.

“Sure.” Nian Yue did not even raise her head and was happily eating with her head lowered.

A sneer flashed across Wang Meihua’s eyes. She thought that she had become smarter, but she did not expect that she was still a fool like before.

“Idiot!”

……

Not long after she had left, Wang Meihua sneered in disdain.

When she turned around, she suddenly saw a man in a black coat around the corner of the second floor.

The man’s handsome face was expressionless, but his eyes were as deep as the sea.

This was the Young Master of the Nian Family.

The young genius in the eyes of outsiders, Nian Yu.

However, he often traveled outside. According to his schedule, he would only be back tomorrow.

But why did he come back earlier?

Wang Meihua didn’t dare to have any other thoughts. This wasn’t someone she could afford to offend.

When she thought about this, Wang Meihua pretended to be reserved and nodded at the man. She was already used to Nian Yu not acknowledging her and went upstairs in her high heels.

Nian Yu, who had been silent all this while, looked at the empty dining table with his deep eyes. His rose-colored lips curled up and a smile flashed across his eyes.

She’s not too stupid after all.

Nian Yue stopped eating for a moment. Then, she smiled and continued eating with her head lowered.

Her movements were slow and unhurried. If one took a closer look, one would notice that there was elegance in her movements.

Half an hour had passed by the time she finished her meal.

Nian Yue lifted her eyes and looked at the staircase. Nian Yu had gone.

The servants were no longer in the living room. She wiped her mouth slowly before heading upstairs.

On the second floor were the bedrooms of the Nian family. Because of her sudden return, Wang Meihua arranged for the Host to stay on the third floor.

On the surface, they said that they were concerned about how she would adjust but they were also telling her that she was just an outsider.

Nian Yue didn’t really care about this.

Nian Yue went up to the third floor. The corridor on the third floor was empty. Although there was no one else living there, the corridor was spotless.

The innermost room was the Host’s room. When Nian Yue pushed the door open and entered, she was greeted with a moldy and warm smell.

The room was in a mess. The floor was filled with junk. There was a wooden desk near the window, filled with bottles and jars.

Next to the desk was a two-meter bed, which was filled with clothes.

These clothes and bottles were all given by Nian Yan. As soon as the Host arrived, she received so many gifts from Nian Yan who had endeared herself to the Host.

Little did she know that these were things that Nian Yan did not want.

Furthermore, she did not know that Nian Yan, who kept calling her sister, was thinking of ways to kill her every day.

After all, she was the legitimate eldest daughter of the Nian Family.

In terms of seniority, she should address Nian Yue as her younger sister.

Nian Yue curled her lips. Her side profile was so beautiful that it was dazzling.

Nian Yue threw the clothes into the dirty laundry basket and laid on the bed to rest.

Before coming here, she had just experienced a battle. Her supernatural power was destroyed, her body was blown up, and only a wisp of her soul was left in this body.

Right now, this body was at its weakest and needed her to rest and adjust.

She would return one day.

– Inside the study –

Nian Yan lowered her head as she was reprimanded by Nian Chaoyu. “Don’t you know that Yue Yue has just arrived and isn’t familiar with the place? Why did you let her go to the banquet alone?!”

“Dad…”

Nian Yan’s eyes turned red. She bit her lower lip subconsciously and looked aggrieved. “Yue Yue and I have agreed to go to the banquet together. But Yue Yue… she…”

“What about her?” Nian Chaoyu could not stand her stammering and asked impatiently.

“She heard that Chen Yiran was going too, so she left me behind. I looked for her at the banquet for a long time, but I couldn’t find her. I only came back to see if she was back…” Nian Yan’s eyes were red and filled with tears.

“Call Nian Yue over!” The veins on Nian Chaoyu’s forehead were throbbing. It was obvious that he was furious!

Nian Yue had just fallen asleep for less than twenty minutes when she heard knocking on the door.

The servant at the door knocked a few times impatiently.

Nian Yue was regarded as someone who came from the countryside and had no manners at all.

She did not have the aura of a lady from a wealthy family at all.

The servant was about to push the door open when the door was suddenly opened. “What’s the matter?”

Nian Yue’s voice was cold and her voice was still slightly hoarse from having just woken up. Her hair was casually tied into a bun and she looked a little unruly.

When she couldn’t get a reply from the servant, her eyes were filled with impatience.

“Old Master wants you to make a trip to the study room,” the servant hurriedly replied, no longer showing any disrespect.

It was really strange. She was just a little girl from the countryside. How could she sense the aura of a bandit from her?

“I’ve got it.” Nian Yue walked over and went straight to the study room on the second floor.

In the study room on the second floor, the grievance on Nian Yan’s face had yet to dissipate when she saw Nian Yue push the door open and enter.

“Yue Yue, apologize to Dad. Tell him that you didn’t do it on purpose today…” Nian Yan hurried over and winked at her as if she was a good sister.

“Don’t speak up for her!”

Nian Chaoyu saw her actions clearly. “Nian Yue! Do you still have any sense of shame? I brought you back to let you study well, not to let you follow men around!”

“Dad, Yue Yue knows that she is in the wrong. Please let her off this time…” Nian Yan ran over to plead for leniency, but she also confirmed Nian Chaoyu’s words.

“If I let her go this time, will I have to run to somebody else’s doorstep next time?!” Nian Chao was extremely angry. He took the ferule and was about to hit her.

This time, Nian Chaoyu used all his strength. If he took a step, Nian Yue’s shoulder would definitely turn red.

“Sister said that she had something on at the last minute and asked me to go on my own,” Nian Yue said unhurriedly when the ferule was about to hit her.

Nian Yan’s expression froze. She never expected Nian Yue to deny it so readily.
