Chapter 869: Chapter 869: Afraid of Her? What a Joke!
After the opening dance, Huo Siyu was called away by her uncles to socialize.
“Jian, are you okay on your own?” Huo Siyu was still somewhat concerned as she spoke before leaving.
She had only said those words to Jian Dan earlier because of the other party’s face.
But knowing Tan Anqi as she did, Anqi was the kind of person who would seek revenge for the smallest grievance.
Pampered since childhood, there was nothing she wanted that she couldn’t get her hands on.
Whether she truly liked her or not, Huo Siyu did not know, but at the very least, Anqi was interested.
“Me? What could be wrong with me?”
Huo Siyu nodded towards Tan Anqi’s direction with her head. “She’s not someone easy to mess with!”
Jian Dan followed the direction of Huo Siyu’s nod.
“Her, huh!” Jian Dan had already sensed her hostility towards herself when she first arrived.
Not a trace of worry crossed Jian Dan’s face, instead, there was a hint of mockery.
“No worries, go ahead! I can handle myself,” Jian Dan said, slowly looking at Huo Siyu.
“Really?”
“Truer than true gold!”
“Alright then! If anything happens, call me immediately,” Huo Siyu still said, feeling uneasy.
“Got it! Go on, don’t worry!”
Only then did Huo Siyu leave, looking back three steps at a time…
After Huo Siyu had left, Jian Dan glanced again in Tan Anqi’s direction, noting that Anqi was still staring at her intently.
But Jian Dan did not care.
Her principle was not to cause trouble, nor fear it!
Of course, very often, she couldn’t stop trouble from finding her either.
She hadn’t had anything to eat all afternoon, and the journey here had taken quite some time, so her stomach was already famished.
So, without paying attention to Tan Anqi, Jian Dan went to the dining area to eat…
Upon arriving at the dining area, Jian Dan picked out the food she liked and began to eat.
“It seems our hotel’s food is quite to your taste!” Tan Anqi and a few of her followers approached Jian Dan.
Continuing to eat, Jian Dan spoke, “The flavor is just average. If I wasn’t starving, I wouldn’t even consider eating it!” she said bluntly.
If the other party bore ill will, why should she be polite in return?
“You…”
“Anqi, some people just pretend to know what they clearly don’t, who knows, maybe she hasn’t even eaten properly before?” one of the followers sneered at Jian Dan disdainfully.
“You’re right, indeed I haven’t eaten… such distasteful food before!” Jian Dan’s tone remained utterly even.
“Is that so? It looks like Brother Siyu has treated you to a lot of tasty things.
Yeah! Now that you have food to eat, you’d better eat up. After all, if Brother Siyu dumps you later, you won’t have a chance to eat like this again!” Tan Anqi whispered snidely.
“Heh,” Jian Dan scoffed coldly.
Because of Jian Dan’s disdain, Tan Anqi’s face started looking worse for wear, “Do you really think with your status you could join a family like the Huo Family? That’s nothing but a pipe dream!” Tan Anqi lost her previous grace.
“So you mean, only someone like you is suitable to marry Huo Siyu?”
“Of course, I am the only daughter of the Tan Family!”
“The Tan Family?
Sorry, never heard of it!” Jian Dan looked at Tan Anqi unflinchingly.
“Heh, good! Very good! You’ve successfully gotten my attention now!” Tan Anqi looked at Jian Dan with a cold laugh. “But you’ll find that getting my attention is not a good thing!”
“Is that so?
Unfortunately, you don’t seem capable of getting me to pay attention to you!” Jian Dan retorted directly.
Many at the banquet looked at Jian Dan with sympathy. No one had ever dared to talk to Tan Anqi like that before.
