Definitely Was Not Me

Ning clan?

Lin Ruoxi paled when she heard the words. Her eyes darkened and she stiffened up considerably.

Yang Chen frowned and asked before Yang Gongming could say anything, “What invitation?”

The servant turned around quickly to face him. “Young Master, it’s from Mr Ning Guodong. He’s having a Qixi party at Qiushui villa and he has invited representatives from the major clans in China. It says on the invitation that he wishes to invite Young Master and Young Madam to the party.”

Yang Chen received the invitation and looked at it. It was a genuine invitation.

“That’s thoughtful of him. He doesn’t seem to know when to stop.” Yang Chen sneered.

The last time he saw Ning Guodong was when he accompanied the Cai sisters to the night club.

That night he humiliated Ning Guodong and made him kneel on the floor. And after all that, he still had the guts to invite them to a party? Where was his confidence coming from?

Yang Gongming took a sip of his bird nest and asked, “What’s your plan?”

Yang Chen looked at Lin Ruoxi and said with a warm voice, “I will leave it up to her.”

Lin Ruoxi tightened her jaw and contemplated for a while before shaking her head. “Let’s go. Evading them would only make them think you are weak.”

“But you…” Yang Chen was worried that the Ning clan would hurt her again. In fact, Lin Ruoxi was traumatized every time she saw them.

She smiled forcefully and said, “Some things can not be avoided. Also, I’ve never been to a party like this in Beijing. Besides, I’m sure you’ll protect me if anything goes wrong.”

Yang Chen hesitated for a moment and chuckled. “That’s right. I am curious to know what they are planning for us.”

Now that they had decided on attending the party, they had to settle the outfits and accessories and also figure out the exact location of the party. It was already evening when everything had been taken care of.

Yang Chen held her by her waist naturally so that she would feel more relaxed.

“Welcome, Mr Yang Chen, the long-lost eldest grandson of the Yang clan. I’m glad that you and your wife accepted my invitation to attend this party when you’ve just arrived in Beijing.” Ning Guodong smiled, as though their past conflict never happened.

The others finally realized who they were now that he mentioned it.

Slowly, everyone started looking at them, contemplating if they should come up and greet them. It was common news after all that Marshal Yang favoured him over Yang Lie.

Plus, it wasn’t a secret that Yang Pojun was admitted into the hospital which made the world guess what happened to the Yang clan.

Yang Chen snorted and looked at Ning Guodong’s knees with a teasing smile. “No doubt you’re going to be a politician. You’re really good at acting. Have you forgotten about our previous meeting?”

The guests drew in a breath. They knew about the whole ordeal but was silenced by the Ning clan.

They could have never imagined that Yang Chen was behind all that!

Lin Ruoxi knew nothing about it so she looked at Yang Chen, feeling worried for him.

Ning Guodong froze for a second but he recovered immediately. “It was but a trivial matter. Today is a different day. I think it’s better if you watch what you say so that there won’t be any unnecessary misunderstandings.”

Yang Chen let it go for now. After all, he still had to go through the formalities of socializing in a situation like this one.

It was at this moment that a familiar silhouette walked towards him. “Mr Yang, we meet again!”
