Chapter 172 - More Ruthless

Kang Mao Lan, who got hit out of nowhere, sneezed. She also attended the bidding with her husband but right now, their expression was not really good. Their current business was dwindling a bit and there was even new competitor. Right now, she didn't come to Kang Mao Yao's side because her husband had stopped her from going there.

"Are you sick?"

"…No."

Kang Mao Lan glanced in the direction of her sister as her eyes narrowed. She was resisting the urge to come there and gave a good bashing to her own daughter too. From the past confrontation, it was clear that she was not really up to par against them.

She had already told the matter of Yu Yan to Kang Mao Yao in hope that her sister would be able to create things difficult for that unfilial daughter. She would surely make sure that Yu Yan would not be able to have peace.

Hmph!

Without the Kang Family, she was nothing."

"Be patience. We're here to try our luck to participate in the project later." Yu Zheng Tong looked at his wife and felt his head throbbed. He didn't really want to have a fallout with her, so he could only tolerate her behavior and made sure that she didn't do anything untoward. 

"Yes."

Kang Mao Lan took a deep breath and focused on the bidding. She was not here to talk with that annoying daughter of hers. What she wanted more was to make sure that she could continue this lifestyle of hers.

How could she bear to live poorly?

Never!

She chose to bear with the discomfort as she accompanied Yu Zheng Tong to talk with the other businessmen in the area. Smiling while being polite to these people, Kang Mao Lang acted as the perfect wife.

Kang Mao Yao's eyes darkened when Kang Mao Lan was mentioned. She turned around and noticed that Kang Mao Lan was indeed present but the latter didn't try to seek trouble for Yu Yan. It was clear that in Kang Mao Lan's eyes, Yu Yan didn't worth creating trouble here.

Here?

It was then Kang Mao Yao recalled that the real reason they came here was because of the project bidding that would be done later. They had to put on a good image if they hoped that they would be able to participate. If they created bad image from the very beginning, it was clear that they wouldn't be able to last long.

The chance of getting participated in the project would naturally be lower.

'Damn you, Mao Lan!'

It was only now that Kang Mao Yao realized that she was being used by her sister.

'Before smearing other people's name, why don't you bring the proof out first? You're just being used by Kang Mao Lan who spread nonsense but you didn't even realize it yet. As someone who spend most of your time in parties, how could you not know that the ones hated the most are those who spread lies?'

The words from Yu Yan just now floated within her mind. Kang Mao Yao realized that it was the truth. Her sister didn't really care for her and only tried to make use of her.

At this thought, Kang Mao Yao's eyes turned colder. She had to make sure that she would not be used by Kang Mao Lan ever again.

"Let's go."

"Yes." Lei Huan passed a look at his daughter once more before leaving with his wife. He naturally knew Kang Mao Yao's despise of his younger sister. Even though the two of them were sisters, Kang Mao Yao and Kang Mao Lan's real relationship was not as harmonious as what it looked like on the surface.

If one dared to compare the two of them, Kang Mao Yao would surely disagree the most as she hated being compared to her useless sister. On the other hand, Kang Mao Lan would also be unwilling to be compared to her older sister.

That way, even though the two of them seemed like good sisters, they actually loathed each other.

However, when they were talking about their daughters, they would be on the same wavelength. The two of them got married against their will and it was only because they didn't dare to cross their father did they got married. As the result, both of them didn't exactly like their children.

Not to mention, they have daughters and not sons.

Even if this was already the modern world, sons were often still being more valuable than daughters. 

It was also because Kang Mao Lan knew of Kang Mao Yao's dislike to her daughter that she could make use of her like this. Despite being a top socialite, Kang Mao Yao had a big weakness whenever her daughter was mentioned. 

It was a disgrace for her. 

Lei Xing Yi sighed. "How tiring."

"It's not easy to deal with that pair of shameless people." Yu Yan had to agree. She sighed and pointed to the seat. "Let's sit down first while waiting for the bidding to start."

"Sure. Did you wait for long?"

"No, I just arrive not long before you."

Lei Xing Yi nodded. She noticed some businessmen from the corner of her eyes. "I'm going to strike some conversation first. You can wait here until the bidding start and we'll try to get one."

"Okay."

Yu Yan watched as Lei Xing Yi disappeared into the sea of crowd before looking at her husband. She had noticed halfway that Long Ying seemed to be wanting to say something regarding her cousin.

"What is it?''

"She's more ruthless than you and decisive." Long Ying passed a look at Yu Yan. While Lei Xing Yi was willing to cut off the relationship she had with her parents right away without any hesitation, Yu Yan was the opposite. She still had some feelings for her parents who used to treat her well and cared for her wellbeing.

Yu Yan shrugged. "We're still have some differences.. It's good enough that we can collaborate with each other."
