Seventeen Again: The Sweet Life with My Family

Chapter 3



Chapter 3

Wen Nian came from an ordinary family and had never been to a high-class banquet before. When she walked in and noticed everyone’s stares, her initial instinct was to turn to Huang Yue for help. Unfortunately, she fell for Huang Yue’s ploy once again, foolishly believing that the stares were due to her own beauty and unfamiliarity with the social circle.

After Wen Nian embarrassed herself at the banquet, Wei Xiao didn’t utter a word. But after this incident, he was able to make his grandfather, Wei Feng, feel remorseful for forcing this engagement and causing Wei Xiao to feel aggrieved. As a result, Wei Feng put in more energy into nurturing Wei Xiao. This was why Wei Xiao sought out Huang Yue to deal with Wen Nian.

In this life, Huang Yue was even more brazen. When Wen Nian rejected the gift, Huang Yue immediately went out and bought the exact same dress that had appeared in her previous life, and then swapped it with the dress in the gift box without hesitation.

Wen Nian’s lips curved into a sneer as she gave Huang Yue a pointed look. She slowly opened her mouth and said, “This dress doesn’t seem to match the gift box, no matter how I look at it. Are you telling me that you swapped it?”

Huang Yue’s expression stiffened a little. “What are you talking about? Why would I switch your clothes for no reason? It’s normal for men to like seeing women in sexy and beautiful clothes. It’s natural to give such clothes as gifts.”

Wen Nian smiled faintly and looked enlightened. “I see. I’ll give it to you then. I think it suits you more than me.”

Huang Yue showed her usual innocent smile. “This is for you. How can I take it?”

Then, Huang Yue put on a loyal expression and said, “I understand that you might be worried about embarrassing yourself at the banquet. But don’t worry, I’ll go with you and wear the most ordinary dress. That way, you’ll stand out even more and look beautiful!”

Wen Nian glanced at the time on her watch. Thinking that her family should be getting off work soon, she couldn’t be bothered to feign civility with Huang Yue anymore. “If you want to get to know Wei Xiao, go yourself. I’m not interested.”

Wen Nian thought that if Huang Yue and Wei Xiao formed a relationship so quickly, it would be easier for her to bring them down together in th future!

Huang Yue had always presented a gentle, pleasant, and reserved image to others. However, when Wen Nian accurately guessed her intentions, Huang Yue was infuriated by the humiliation. “Wen Nian! I have never considered a person’s family background when befriending them. I simply thought that it would be nice for me to come by since someone gave you a gift.”

Huang Yue looked very aggrieved. “I’ve always considered you as my closest friend, but you seem to doubt my intentions. I don’t see the point in continuing this friendship if you can’t trust me. Maybe it’s best if we just end things here.”

This could be considered Huang Yue’s ultimate weapon against Wen Nian. It wasn’t easy for Wen Nian, a solitary person with a volatile temper, to befriend Huang Yue.

Therefore, whenever Wen Nian refused to back down, Huang Yue would play her trump card, causing Wen Nian to quickly give in. Huang Yue used this tactic very smoothly and naturally.

Wen Nian raised her eyebrows. This should be the best gift she had received today. She smiled and replied, “Alright, forget it then.”

Huang Yue raised her head slightly. When she heard this, she looked at Wen Nian in disbelief. “Wen Nian, remember what you’re saying now!”

Huang Yue turned around angrily and went downstairs. She made up her mind that if she did not make Wen Nian pay a price this time, she would not agree to reconcile with her easily!

Seeing this, Wen Nian’s smile became even brighter. She hummed a tune and went into the kitchen to cook.

Zhou Mei and Wen Xing went home after buying groceries. They saw Wen Nian washing rice in the kitchen. “Nian Nian, hurry up and do your homework. It’s your birthday today. You don’t have to do any housework.”

Wen Nian turned around and saw her parents still alive. A satisfied smile appeared on her face. “This is also the day my mom suffered. I’m just cooking.”

When the couple heard their daughter’s words, they looked at each other. Ever since they objected to Wen Nian and Wei Xiao getting married, Wen Nian had started to become a little rebellious. Now, this scene made them feel like they had returned to the days before the Wei family came looking for them.

The three of them busied themselves in the kitchen. Dinner was quickly prepared. Just as dishes were placed on the table, Wen Yu entered with a cake.

The family of four could sit at the dining table again. Wen Nian was filled with gratitude. She raised her cup and thanked her family for preparing her birthday. Then, she said what her parents wanted to hear the most. “Dad, Mom, I’ve decided to break off the engagement with Wei Xiao!”

His parents looked pleasantly surprised. Wen Yu also smiled, but his mouth was still unforgiving. “Congratulations!When did you regain your eyesight?”

Wen Nian smiled. “The heavens might have given me extra luck on my birthday, making my eyes sharper and mind clearer.”

Wen Yu was a year older than Wen Nian. The two of them had quarreled since they were young, but as they quarreled, their brother-sister relationship grew stronger.

It was rare for Wen Yu to see Wen Nian speak to him with such a gentle attitude. And so, he didn’t take pleasure in mocking her anymore. After dinner, he took out the birthday cake and started singing.
