Became a salted fish pretend heiress and handed over the system-Chapter 485 - 474: Step On

"You’re back? You’ve been quite busy," Xia Yue heard a voice and sat up, looking at him as she spoke.

"If you choose not to be the boss, then of course, us minions have to work hard," Yan Mo joked.

"The capable do more work, you guys are all so capable. If I, a minor character, tried to help, I’d probably just make things worse," Xia Yue said with a laugh.

"You, you barely say anything normally. You make others work and when it’s your turn to be lazy, you sure know how to talk your way out of it," Yan Mo walked over, sat on the chair next to her, and popped a couple of grapes into his mouth.

"Hehehe." Xia Yue blushed a little, embarrassed by his straightforward comment.

"I ran into Bai Yuran and them today, had a chat, and then left crying," Yan Mo casually told Xia Yue.

"I know, the system told me. You really didn’t give her any dignity. After all, she’s a girl who has liked you for so many years. You openly told her in front of her friends that you have nothing to do with her. That’s quite harsh," Xia Yue looked at him and said.

Yan Mo listend to her words, fell silent for a moment, carefully looked at her, and said:

"If she just liked me, I might not have been so harsh. I would’ve found an opportunity to talk to her properly, to let her let go."

"She may like me, but what she likes even more is the status of being the Young Mistress of the Yan Family."

Since university, she has been subtly hinting to others that she is my girlfriend, my fiancée, merely because my status isn’t good for publicity.

And she took advantage of a few banquets to use this status to get close to my mother. She’s liked by my mom because she is pretty, has a good character, and most importantly, she likes me. My mother treats her kindly, occasionally takes her shopping, and so on." fɾēewebnσveℓ.com

"And all of this has confirmed to those she’s hinted to that she is my fiancée, my future wife."

"Using this status, the Bai family has received many favors in business and in their careers."

"Recently, the Bai family has been using this status to overstep their boundaries, trying to touch some things they shouldn’t touch."

"Originally, I was thinking of warning them, but I happened to bump into her today. When she said those words to me, I decided to take the opportunity to clear things up."

Having said that, Yan Mo stared directly at Xia Yue.

"So that’s what happened. I wondered why you suddenly became so...no, not harsh... blunt," Xia Yue nodded, looking enlightened.

"I just don’t know if her friends will let today’s conversation leak out. If it does, then other families won’t treat the Bai family as favorably as they do now. The Bai family should then learn their lesson."

"Otherwise, I’ll have to sever their hands," Yan Mo said in a much more sinister tone towards the end.

"In a few days, people in the Upper Circle will probably know," Xia Yue happened to say."

"How do you know? Those who hang out with her are her closest friends," Yan Mo had no intention of letting the matter spread.

"For Pei Yu, Tai Miaoxin, and Xu Song, I’m not sure. But Tang Yao and Zhang Ya... they’ll definitely spread the word."

"Those two seem to have the best relationship with Bai Yuran. They three appear to be best friends, but if Bai Yuran is embarrassed, they’re sure to add fuel to the fire, to suppress Bai Yuran."

"If it weren’t for Bai Yuran’s status and position, they wouldn’t have approached her at all," Xia Yue looked at him and said.

"How do you know that?" Yan Mo asked curiously.
