They followed Yao Yan out of the Lin Family Villa. Lin Xinsnuck a glance at her friend, flashing her the brightest smile she could muster.
She was ecstatic about having lunch at her house. After all, she really had never been there, and she was excited to spend more time with her friend.
Not only that, but she would also be able to go to school with her together. The thought of this made her even more excited.
Yao Tang raised her eyebrows at her, but she didn’t say a word.
Now that Lin Xin was here, Yao Yannaturally wouldn’t scold her. That meant, that she could still push this out a little while longer.
However, as soon as they had gotten into the car, the atmosphere changed just a bit.
She could see her brother casting a few glances at her in the rearview mirror before heaving a sigh. She shifted on her seat uncomfortably.
“Brother Yao, I really did call Tangtang over,” Lin Xinwas quick to explain. “I just miss her, that’s all. I didn’t really think about how you would be feeling about this. I’m sorry.”
“I know, it’s fine.”
As soon as she had explained, Lin Xin subtly patted Yao Tangon the shoulder, indicating that the matter was already put to rest.
However, Yao Tang could only close her eyes in response.
When they arrived at the Yao Family home, Lin Xinwas naturally enveloped in her family’s embrace. Even Yao Yanwas chuckling and speaking this entire time.
It was as if everything had gone back to normal, or so she wished.
As soon as it was time to head to school, Yao Yan drove them to the school’s gate. When Lin Xinhad gotten off, he glanced over at her, “Tangtang, come back early, okay? We still have much to talk about.”
Of course.
“Okay, I’ll be back,” she naturally agreed.
Lin Xin stood outside and glanced over at her. As soon as Yao Tanghad gotten out, she held her hand and pulled her into the gate.
“I’ve already explained everything to your brother,” she comforted. “I’m sure you’ll be fine. You’re already covered.”
If only it were that easy.
In Class 20, everyone was bright and early.
After all, they were all expecting someone else’s attendance. As soon as they saw Yao Tang walking into the classroom, their faces were painted with bright joy.
Meng Yang immediately sprinted over with a smile. “Sister Tang,” he exclaimed. “You’re okay! You don’t know how much I’ve been worried about you. It’s good that you’ve rested.”
Her classmates also gathered around her, glancing at her from head to toe. Upon seeing that she wasn’t injured, they all heaved a sigh of relief.
Qin Jing was quick to hold her other hand.
“It’s all that girl’s fault! She pushed Lin Xin. Otherwise, Yao Tang wouldn’t have fallen to save her!”
“That’s right. We must seek justice for Yao Tang!”
Meng Yang waved his hand. “When the time comes, I’ll ask my dad to look into this matter, okay?” he said. “Don’t worry. I won’t allow you to be wronged this time.”
“Right!”
Everyone chimed in.
However, at this time, Yao Tang had other thoughts in mind. All she could focus on was her older brother. What was she going to come up with this time around?
“All right class!” The teacher called out as soon as he stepped into the classroom, alerting the others. “Everyone, get back to your seats.”
They all followed suit.
Noticing Yao Tang’s thoughtful expression, Meng Yang poked at Lin Xin. “What’s wrong with her?” he whispered. “Did I say something wrong?”
“No,” she explained. “She’s probably just tired that’s all.”
Even then, he didn’t seem convinced.
Even though Yao Tang was unwilling to face her big brother, she knew that it would only be a matter of time before she did. Just as she had thought, the afternoon passed by quickly.
She sighed. However, before she could pack her things, her phone dinged.
“Uncle Liu is already at the gate. You can come back using our car.”
Her lips twitched.
Was he so afraid of her running off that he asked the driver to pick her up?
It seemed that she couldn’t sneak away anymore.
After getting into the car, she quickly returned home. At that time, Yao Rong and Jiang Wanwere out, so she was to meet her brother in his study.
She casually knocked on the door.
“Come in!”
There, she saw Yao Yan behind his desk.
He sighed.
“Tangtang, where did you really go this morning?” he questioned. “Don’t worry, I won’t be mad.”
Although he didn’t want to suspect anything, the girl he had seen looked quite familiar to him. He pursed his lips, drumming his fingers onto the desk.
He couldn’t help but be worried.
His intuition had always been accurate. It was by relying on his intuition that he was able to gather all the information he needed.
Even then, Yao Tang didn’t appear bothered. Instead, she leaned back against her seat. “Didn’t Lin Xintell you?” she asked casually. “I went to the Lin Family villa. You can ask them to confirm.”
