Chapter 17
Because of what happened with Lu Rongrong before, none of the classmates dared to provoke Nan Yan.
After a peaceful day of classes, she packed up her bag and prepared to go back home.
As she reached the school gate, she saw An Muyao’s personal chauffeur waiting for her.
The driver, with a condescending tone, said, ” Second Miss, it’s the Eldest Miss who asked me to wait for you here. She’s already in the car, so you can get in too.”
Nan Yan was not favored in the An family, even a servant dared to give her a hard time.
The chauffeur thought that Nan Yan would be overwhelmed by the invitation.
In the end, Nan Yan didn’t even spare a glance at the driver. She simply walked past him and hailed a taxi by the roadside.
The driver cursed under his breath and resentfully returned to the car.
“Eldest Miss, Second Miss refused to get in the car and took a taxi by herself,” the driver reported to An Muyao.
A cold glint flashed in An Muyao’s eyes, followed by a light snort. “Is that so? Then, let’s not bother with her. Let’s go home.”
Today, Mother is coming back. Let’s see how arrogant she can be!

At the An residence, Nan Yan entered the villa calmly, carrying her bag.
Upon entering, she heard the voices of Lu Lehua and An Muyao laughing.
“Mom, are these gifts all for me?”
“Of course, they’re all for you. Didn’t I say I would bring you gifts when I came back?”
“What about Yanyan?” When An Muyao said this, she deliberately glanced at Nan Yan, who had just entered the door.
The smugness in her eyes was very obvious.
Lu Lehua disdainfully hummed, “She’s so insensible and disobedient. How dare she expect to receive gifts?”
An Muyao sweetly and obediently said, “Mom, don’t say that. Yanyan is still young and doesn’t understand. It will be better when she grows up.”
“Young? She’s only a few hours younger than you! Look at how obedient you are compared to her!”
Lu Lehua didn’t want to bring up Nan Yan, who had caused her so much trouble. She waved her hand dismissively and said, “Let’s not mention her. What does Muyao want to eat? Mom will take you to eat later.”
“As long as I can eat with Mom, everything will taste delicious,” An Muyao coquettishly replied.
Nan Yan had no time to watch their mother-daughter show. She didn’t even greet them and headed upstairs.
“Stop right there.”
Lu Lehua had noticed her come in, but she had kept silent the whole time. And when she finally saw her, she didn’t even call her by her name. It was as if she were invisible!
How uncultured.
Living in the countryside for too long, no matter how she was taught, she couldn’t learn manners.
“Nan Yan, when you see me, don’t you even know how to call me ‘Mom’?”
Nan Yan looked at her expressionlessly, coldly curled her lips, and went straight upstairs.
Call her ‘Mom’? Who does she think she is?
“Nan Yan, are you trying to rebel?!” Lu Lehua was infuriated by Nan Yan’s actions. “Are you trying to piss me off?”
An Muyao quickly patted her chest to calm her down. “Mom, don’t be angry. Yanyan probably had a bad day today.”
She sighed and deliberately said, “Today, she had a fight with Lu Rongrong in school. She’s probably feeling upset.”
An Muyao hadn’t yet found out about the incident in the office.
However, Nan Yan had indeed fought with Lu Rongrong in class, and so many eyes had witnessed it.
Although An Muyao was delighted that Nan Yan had caused trouble again, she was also worried about Nan Yan’s transformation.
Today, at school, she had heard people talking about Nan Yan’s extraordinary beauty and how her cold temperament was attracting attention…
She felt that the Nan Yan who used to be under her control was starting to break free!
She absolutely wouldn’t allow that!
“So, she even learned to fight in school?” Lu Lehua, upon hearing this, added fuel to the fire. “This unruly girl! Can’t she learn something good?”
“Mrs. Lu is famous for being protective of her own people, but she still dared to hit Lu Rongrong. When the Lu family comes looking for her, the An family will lose face again because of her.”
“She’s trying to kill me with anger!”
An Muyao coaxed, “Mom, calm down. It’s just a playful fight between classmates. It’s not that serious.”
“Well, why don’t we have Nan Yan apologize to Lu Rongrong and ask for her forgiveness?”
“I guess that’s the only way.”
Suppressing her anger, Lu Lehua went upstairs to find Nan Yan.
Nan Yan returned to her room and was in the process of changing clothes when the door was banged on.
Irritated, she frowned and quickly put on denim shorts and a white t-shirt before slowly going to open the door.
“What’s the matter?”
Lu Lehua’s expression faltered as she saw the girl’s clean and refreshing face.
It was the first time she had seen Nan Yan without makeup.
Her exquisitely perfect features inherited her beauty, making her even more beautiful than Lu Lehua herself.
But soon, she met Nan Yan’s excessively cold gaze and snapped back to reality.
Her face instantly darkened. “Go with me to the Lu family and apologize to their daughter.”
Although Lu Lehua’s surname was also Lu, she had no relation to the Lu family that Lu Rongrong belonged to.
Lu Lehua’s maternal family, the Lu family, was a scholarly family that had not ventured into the business world but had considerable fame.
Especially Old Master Lu, Lu Qingzhi, who was a renowned literary master and was known as a national treasure and a leading figure in the world of calligraphy and painting.
Unfortunately, none of his children inherited his talents.
“If you want to go, go by yourself.”
Nan Yan replied indifferently.
Lu Lehua’s eyes turned red with anger as she shouted, “That’s not up to you! Today, you must go to the Lu family and apologize, asking their daughter for forgiveness. Otherwise, I won’t have such an embarrassing daughter like you!”
“Do you think I want to be your daughter?” Nan Yan sneered.
“Without knowing the full story, have you bothered to find out what really happened before coming here to accuse me based on hearsay? Madam An, please go and find out first who is truly responsible for this incident.”
After speaking, Nan Yan closed the door, shutting out Lu Lehua and An Muyao, who was standing behind her.
It seemed she couldn’t stay in this place any longer.
Otherwise, she would be driven crazy sooner or later.
From that moment, Nan Yan made a decision in her heart. She would move out.
“I shouldn’t have brought you back…”
Lu Lehua, locked out of the room, turned pale with anger. Her trembling hand pointed at the door.
“Mom, did you personally witness Yanyan fighting with someone?” An Xiran walked over from the staircase, his voice filled with disapproval.
“Even if she fought with someone, shouldn’t your first concern be whether she was bullied or not, instead of not asking anything and forcing her to apologize?”
“She’s your biological daughter whom you’ve neglected for sixteen years. Why can’t you treat her better?”
An Xiran had never paid attention to the situation at home before. He was either busy with his competitions or going to the company for live broadcasts. He didn’t even spend much time at home.
He had no idea that their mother treated Nan Yan with such an attitude.
How much suffering had Yanyan endured?
An Xiran truly felt sorry for her.
Lu Lehua, with a cold smile, said, “Do you know why I haven’t been good to her?”
“I also wanted to treat her well! But look at what she has done!”
“Xiran, my heart has been completely shattered by her. It has turned cold!”
“Alright, since you want to know the truth, I’ll call her homeroom teacher right now and ask what really happened and whether if I’ve wrongly accused her!”
