Chapter 83 You Come and I Go

pride's crisis has been averted, Yan Jia still lost her mate. She cried swollen eyes and, as the next harsh winter approaches, found another male beastman companion.Moreover, this male orc wasn't fro..."Miss, have you gotten your debt back Don't bother my son again with the same excuses next time."

"Miss, please rest assured! I wouldn't even bother with people like that. He's incompetent himself, but his parents have the ability to repay. After this, I'll be leaving the country and we probably won't meet again."

That's great!

Anna said it easily.

You don't love him, you just want to take advantage of him. There's no need to act so invested. He has his own agenda too. You two are a perfect match.

With a sneer of disdain, she glided past Anna and left.

Anna heard this, her eyes narrowed slightly. She raised a hand to smooth her wavy hair, twisted her waist, and re-entered the ballroom as if nothing had happened.

After she re-entered the ballroom, ripples emerged from the corner. She had just witnessed a good show—a brief confrontation between her current girlfriend and ex-girlfriend. It was clear that neither woman held much genuine affection for Yang Ziyi; the former valued his power, while the latter coveted his wealth.

"Yang Ziyi is such a failure as a man. He's incompetent and tries to scheme against others, but the women around him have no real feelings for him. He even insists on showing off his intelligence, but compared to Yang Jun, that old fox, he's miles behind."

Liàn Yī secretly complained, and then she muttered to herself:

"That Anna's back looks familiar, like I've seen her somewhere before. I can't remember where though! It shouldn't be possible! I have a photographic memory."

The Tasker wasn't mistaken, it was indeed an old acquaintance.

The communicator suddenly popped out, startling Ripple.

What are you popping up to do now

"Ahem, reporting on the mission progress! There's one last 10% left to complete. Hoping you keep pushing forward."

Then the communicator fell silent again. Lian Ri's lips twitched, and after five minutes, she returned to the ballroom.

Yang Ziyix at this time was somewhat preoccupied. His parents had clearly concealed the fact that he had a child, which made him feel embarrassed.

This matter absolutely cannot be let Anna know. Today, all the attendees at the banquet are prominent figures, and we can't let them find out either, otherwise, how will I maintain my standing in this circle in the future

"Honey, are you okay I just ran into your old classmate, she's already gone. What did you guys talk about Her eyes looked strange at me!"

Anna blinked her amber eyes and asked curiously.

This was simply adding fuel to Yang Ziyix's already taut nerves, but he remained composed, merely offering a faint explanation:

“Anna, don't misunderstand. I couldn't say it in front of her just now. After all, I had to consider her face. Before I went abroad to study, I almost got engaged to her because she was the daughter of the host of today's banquet at that time. But later I found out that she wasn't Mr. Zhao's biological daughter, but someone else's daughter who had been swapped."

"Oh! So she was the one who swapped identities with Miss Ripple"

Anna's face lit up with understanding.

"Yes, because of this reason, the Zhao family proactively gave up on the marriage alliance with our family. After that, she also went abroad, probably to avoid the legitimate Miss Zhao."

After that, we lost contact. However, she always had feelings for me and thought I was the one who gave up on her, so she misunderstood me. That's why she reached out to me today. This is the first time I've seen her since I returned home.”

Although Anna was somewhat dissatisfied, she still said:

"Okay! I believe you this once. Such a person shouldn't be seen again in the future. Back to her original life, she should have felt the gap, so she might want to cling back to you again. But are you sure you haven't done anything wrong to her"

"Of course not! Besides not fulfilling her engagement promise, that was also beyond my control!"

Yang Ziyi said firmly, only he knew that his back was already a little wet.

Just then, he saw Zhao Lianyi walking in. He immediately grabbed Anna's hand and said with a smile:

"Come, let's go meet the real Ms. Zhao!"

Subsequently, the two greeted Ripples intimately, but Ripples didn't seem very interested in either of them. She politely exchanged a few pleasantries with them before being called away by Father Zhao.

By the end of the banquet, everyone in the capital's business district knew Zhao Lianyi's name and that the Zhao family had officially established themselves in the capital, starting to operate under their own brand.

After sending Anna back to her hotel, Yang Ziyì went to see his parents as soon as possible.

"What That shameless girl actually went to the banquet to confront you Did Anna know"

Pu Li learned about what happened, her face already twisted with anger.

"They met! You didn't tell me in advance, I was caught off guard. Luckily, I got Anna away; she doesn't know the specifics. I told her it was because I had previously intended to get engaged to Fiona."

"Does she believe it"

Puli asked nervously.

"I told her that the gentle and ripple were like those two children who were switched at birth. So after the engagement was canceled, she wasn't willing to give up, so she came to me. Currently, it seems like she believes me."

"That's great! Don't spoil your own good fortune and the developments on your dad's side."

"Mom, please just get rid of her as soon as possible. Don't let her hang around me."

Yang Ziyi frowned and said.

"Don't worry, your dad is already handling it."

As expected, a week later, Fian obtained what she desired. On the day the money arrived, she transferred it all to her account in France and, with her child, took an afternoon flight that same day directly to France.

And the ripples saw all of this, only telling Wu Junyi about it after the other party left the country.

Wu Junyi was initially somewhat disbelieving after hearing this, but he quickly composed himself. He went to see Lianyi and directly asked his question:

"Ripples Sister, you knew all along that you and my older sister were swapped by Mom."

"Well, my dad told me."

"Are you angry"

"If you were in their shoes, what would you do"

Ripple asked back.

“

"That's why you hit me so hard."

"Yes! Wan Guifen loves you the most. It's not too much for me to collect some interest from her beloved son, is it Besides, you insult me as a fat pig and relentlessly attack me. Do you expect me to smile back at you"

Ripple scoffed.

"Sorry!"

"It's fine, I got my revenge right there. Take care of yourself from now on."

"I understand. I'll take good care of Mom and won't let her bother you."

"It doesn't matter, if she doesn't want to be good to you, just come find me! I have a way to make her regret it! If she behaves herself, we can still maintain a good 'mother-daughter' relationship."

Ripple's voice was soft.

Wu Junyi took a deep look at Lianyi, nodded in agreement, and then never proactively sought her out again.

One year later, just as Lianyi was preparing to study abroad, a bombshell news came: Yang Jun had been arrested.s side, sending them stumbling back several steps. After steadying themselves, they looked at the warhorse that had transformed into a shield, giving it a curious once-over.Helena's shield was silver,...
