C18 Fang Yuan Came

The following morning, Fang Yuan arrived.

She was dressed as she had been in her past life, in a red dress with strappy high heels, her long hair tied up high, reaching her buttocks. Her face bore a smile of insufferable arrogance, exuding confidence and haughtiness.

"Cousin Yuanyuan, I've missed you so much!" Yi Rui'er embraced Fang Yuan, beaming with joy.

"Rui'er, I've missed you too!" Fang Yuan returned the hug. After exchanging knowing looks, Fang Yuan glanced over at Yi Lanyou, her gaze filled with blatant scorn and revulsion.

"Auntie," Fang Yuan said with a mischievous smile, shrugging her shoulders, "Hee hee, you're looking more beautiful than ever!"

"You always know just what to say," Fang Fang responded with a warm smile. "Yuanyuan, you must be exhausted from the heat. Let's go inside, shall we?"

"Sure!" Fang Yuan agreed, then nonchalantly passed her crocodile skin backpack to Yi Lanyou. "Here, take this inside and hang it up."

Yi Lanyou stood still, meeting Fang Yuan's challenging stare head-on. Yi Rui'er smirked at the scene, curious to see how Yi Lanyou would handle the provocation.

Fang Fang pretended not to notice the exchange, observing Yi Lanyou's reaction from the corner of her eye.

Yi Lanyou narrowed her eyes slightly and stepped back. "Steward Zhou, would you assist our guest with her bag, please?"

Zhou Li, who had been anticipating some entertainment, paused in surprise. Seeing that Fang Fang remained silent, he too stayed put. As the lady of the house, Fang Fang's authority was not to be questioned. This wild girl had the audacity to command him, the steward, right in front of Fang Fang. He was inwardly eager for Fang Yuan to put this unruly child in her place, especially after Yi Lanyou's previous insult to him.

"I told you to bring the bag inside. Are you having trouble understanding?" Fang Yuan said, her voice tinged with irritation as she lifted her chin.

"Haha," Yi Lanyou let out a cold laugh and turned to walk away.

"You!" Fang Yuan fumed. She was used to everyone fawning over her, and here was Yi Lanyou, a mere nobody, daring to defy her. Fang Yuan quickly stepped in front of Yi Lanyou, blocking her way. "Yi Lanyou, I told you to take my bag inside. Can you understand that?"

"So you're aware of who I am!" Yi Lanyou quirked her lips in scorn as she regarded Fang Fang, a look of contempt flickering in her eyes. "Auntie, the Fang family seems to have done quite a job with their etiquette training!"

Fang Fang stiffened momentarily before forcing a smile. "Yuanyuan is just teasing you, playing around."

"Teasing is mutual, and I hardly know her," Yi Lanyou retorted. She then turned on her heel, casting a lingering glance at Zhou Li before striding away. Fang Yuan had already begun to stir up trouble before even setting foot in the Yi's mansion. Yi Lanyou knew she had to stay vigilant in the days ahead.

And as for Zhou Li, if Yi Lanyou didn't address the situation with him properly, he would surely become a thorn in her side.

"You!" Fang Yuan fumed, ready to lunge at Yi Lanyou.

"Yuanyuan!" Fang Fang called out, halting her. After taking a deep breath, she fixed a chilling stare on Yi Lanyou's retreating figure and said ominously, "There's plenty of time ahead of us."

How dare this upstart question the Fang family's upbringing? Did Yi Lanyou actually believe the Yuan Family's standards were superior? They were nothing but a family in decline. What delusions of grandeur! It was utterly laughable!

"Yi Lanyou..." Fang Yuan seethed, her jaw clenched. She had never been treated with such disrespect. She was determined to give Yi Lanyou a lesson she wouldn't forget. Yi Lanyou truly deserved to pay!
