Chapter 1090: Don’t Mess with Miss Jian

Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales

Lucy’s face became livid with rage.

What exactly did Anna know? And why did she have to treat Jian Yiling with so much respect?

Logically speaking, Jian Yiling was only a young lady who came from a not too prominent family in Hengyuan City. Therefore, no one would expect the Goodman family to treat her with courtesy.

Anna continued to speak to Jian Yiling: “Did my cousin who doesn’t know any better upset you? If you’re bothered by her, I can deal with her.”

Jian Yiling glanced at Lucy who was standing beside them before she replied: “Keep her in check.”

“Understood Miss Jian. Please rest assured. I won’t let her come in your way again,” Anna replied.

The viewers and netizens did not hear the conversation between Jian Yiling, Anna, and Lucy as the cameras and audio equipment were too far away.

What the viewers and netizens saw was a very grand ballroom.

The ballroom was brightly lit and filled with handsome men and women who were dressed up in extravagant clothing.

Was this how rich people socialized?

Everything looked so expensive!

Even the random decoration in the corner would cost a fortune!

Xu Rui never attended such a high-class ball before. He was only here because of Lucy.

However, this experience made him realize that people who were rich and powerful were on an entirely different level.

He could earn a few million dollars from advertising certain items and products, but no matter what he did, he could not reach those influential families who had been rich for hundreds of years.

Anna leisurely walked over to Xu Rui.

Anna was so beautiful that most men were immediately attracted to her. Xu Rui was no exception to this.

When she stood next to Lucy, somehow, Lucy became the background image.

“I’ve heard that you’re in a relationship with my cousin?”Anna asked in a flirtatious voice. It was the kind of voice that made one’s bones feel soft.

Anna was not deliberately saying this in a flirtatious voice. Rather, this was her natural voice.

She was a woman who was naturally born with this charming voice.

“You’re Lucy’s cousin?” They had the same blond hair and blue eyes. Furthermore, there was some resemblance in their appearance.

“I guess so. However, I definitely disagree with her thought process. I can’t believe she’s pretending to be in a relationship with you just to harass Miss Jian. Elder George said she’s smarter than her father but that appears to not be the case. I think she’s rather unnecessary to the Goodman family.”

Anna spoke about Lucy in contempt and disdain. This made the people listening to her feel very uncomfortable.

“But isn’t she still your cousin? You shouldn’t talk about her like that right?” Xu Rui replied. He did not know much about the Goodman family. In his mind, the two of them should act like cousins.

“Well, it’s up to you whether or not you want to listen to me. I just came to tell you that I have no problem if you want to date her or even get married to her. However, do not mess with Miss Jian and the people around her. If you do, you will die a horrible death.”

“The Goodman family is scared of the Zhai family?”

Xu Rui heard Lucy speak about the Jian family and Zhai family.

Upon hearing this, Anna smiled and answered: “The reason why some people get abandoned by their family is not that they’re dumb. Rather, it’s because they do not have a correct understanding of themselves and the people around them. It’s because they don’t have a humble heart. If such a person is in power, they would bring all kinds of dangers to their family.”

“You don’t seem humble at all.”

Based on tone and speech, Anna appeared much more arrogant and rude.

In comparison, Lucy seemed gentle and quiet.

“Whatever,” Anna smiled before she picked up a glass of wine from the wine waiter beside her.. Then, she turned around and walked away.
