Chapter 1387: Childs Play

Before Han Yaotian could finish speaking, Yun Xi interrupted him.

Thank you for your kind offer, Chairman Han, but you dont have to worry about me. There are only limited spots offered for each family. You should keep your s.p.a.ces for those who need them.

It would have been better if Han Yaotian had not mentioned this. All his desperate attempts to please her made her feel as if he was up to something fishy.

If his previous efforts to make amends had simply been to get on the Young Commanders good side, now it seemed as if his goal was not to get to the man behind her but perhaps to subdue her in some way. She had to admit that Han Yaotian was indeed a crafty, clever man.

Even though she had tried to keep her dealings with the Han family as low key as possible, she had still somehow managed to leave the impression on the father-and-son pair that she was not someone easy to deal with. They had seen how she was able to take advantage of the Young Commanders powers to take down the entire Han family.

Normally, if a person like her could not be manipulated, then she must be completely eradicated. Otherwise, she would eventually become an even more serious problem. If she still could not see his sincerity after all of his efforts, of getting her the bracelet from someone else, and his subtle sweet talk, then everything he had done would all have been in vain.

Did he really think that the methods he had used in her previous life would work again in this life? It was a pity that in her last life she had been blinded by his sweet seductions. However, in this life, after she had experienced first-hand the finest womanizing charms of Mu Feichi, Han Yaotians little tricks and flirtations were far too impotent to have any impression on her at all. Han Yaotians actions were simply childs play by comparison with Mu Feichi.

After all, not everyone is able to attend these banquets hosted for socialites. Instead of me trying to worm my way in, you should offer your place to someone more promising.

Yun Xi, youre being a bit too humble. You were the valedictorian of three majors at Jingdu High School. In terms of grace and beauty, how could all those other heiresses even compete against you? If you gain the t.i.tle of first-cla.s.s socialite, it will certainly help you in the coming days. Even if you have a lot to catch up on, you will have the halo of the first-cla.s.s socialite, and getting into any circles will no longer be an issue. Not to mention, you have the Young Commanders support too, dont you?

You may be right, but the Young Commander is the Young Commander, and I am me. I have my own path to walk.

They were people on different paths in life, and they never interfered with one anothers undertakings. That aside, if she were to attend the socialite ball, she didnt want to have to do it using the Han family name. If she achieved the t.i.tle of first-cla.s.s socialite after using the Han family name to get into the socialite ball, the Han family would likely try to take advantage of her newfound status. If that happened, she would need to serve the Han family, and it would be only natural for the Han family to use her to get the resources they needed.

To be so shameless as to have thought of this idea was something only the Hans would think of.

Even if the Jiang family could not offer her a place partic.i.p.ating in the socialite ball, she would still not enter the event through the Han family. Otherwise, she would only repeat the same mistakes she had made in her past life.

With all due respect, Chairman Han, if you have come to see me today just for this, then theres nothing for us to discuss further. I still have other matters to attend to, so I best get going. Ill be sure to repay your kindness in the future.

Perhapsshe would not have to wait until the future. Very soon, she would be able to return this favor right back to him.

Standing up, she smiled at him with her beautiful crescent eyes. There was no hint of insinuation in those crystal clear eyes of hers, but only the pride and restraint of a girl her age.

The next time Chairman Han wishes to reach me, you may simply leave a message at the security office on the campus. Please dont pester my friends. Im not someone who likes to cause trouble to others.

With that, she lifted up the paper bag in her hand and waved it in the air. Thank you for this, Chairman Han. Lets catch up again another day.

Yun Xi Han Yaotian stood up with dissatisfaction evident on his face, but, just like that, she was already leaving before he could say anything more.

He had had to bend over backwards just to get this bracelet in order to ease the conflict between them, and yet hed barely had the chance to say more than a few words. Did that mean he had come all this way for nothing?

Wait, Yun Xi

With her eyebrows raised, Yun Xi had turned and left the restaurant without looking back and without even taking a sip of the tea she had ordered.
