The Reborn Aristocrat's Daughter-Chapter 930 - 447

Xu Haoyang had just finished talking on the phone with Xiao Shiyao, and his mood was not very high.

He felt depressed, immensely depressed. Who else has experienced what he has? His relationship with his beloved girlfriend was going very well, it was the peak of their romance. One could say, they were inseparably sweet together every day.

Even so, Xu Haoyang felt it wasn’t enough; he couldn’t wait to marry Xiao Shiyao and wake up every day seeing the woman he loved first thing in the morning. Just thinking about it made him feel exceptionally relieved.

But since his second uncle got a girlfriend, his good days were suddenly gone forever.

He felt aggrieved. He hadn’t properly dated Yaoyao for days. Today, thinking there was a pretty good movie release, he saw it as an excuse to ask her out. He had arranged everything, but when he called just now, Xiao Shiyao told him she wasn’t available. She had to accompany her sister-in-law and ensure her safe return home.

If it weren’t for Xu Haoyang knowing Xiao Shiyao well and knowing she wouldn’t use such an excuse if she didn’t want to see him. If Xiao Shiyao didn’t want to deal with him, she would have just dumped him. But even knowing this, Xu Haoyang still felt depressed.

Xu Haoyang admitted that he was feeling particularly upset.

"Haoyang, what’s wrong with you?" His close friend from the same class noticed his unusual mood and couldn’t help but ask. "Didn’t you just go call your sister-in-law happily, planning to go watch a movie together tonight? Why do you seem upset now?"

Men sometimes are quite blundering, and he belatedly realized that he might have brought up just what should not have been mentioned.

With Xu Haoyang’s mood changing so quickly, who else could it be related to if not Xiao Shiyao?

Only Xiao Shiyao had the ability to affect Xu Haoyang’s mood that much.

Now, Xu Haoyang was not feeling great as he couldn’t arrange a meeting with Xiao Shiyao, and his buddy inadvertently rubbed salt into his wound, earning a stern look from him.

Shen Ran, Xu Haoyang’s good friend, somewhat embarrassed, touched his nose. He had spoken too quickly without thinking too much. "Well, Haoyang, it must be something important for the sister-in-law; she surely didn’t mean to refuse you intentionally." Shen Ran felt that he should smooth things over for Xu Haoyang now, otherwise, Xu Haoyang, who holds a grudge, would surely find a chance to get back at him.

"You don’t need to tell me that. It was my fault for not telling Yaoyao in advance." When it came to Xiao Shiyao, Xu Haoyang was completely without principle. He couldn’t bear to blame Xiao Shiyao; he would only blame himself or others.

"Now that you’re free tonight, let’s hang out. You know it’s been a long time since you hung out with us after you started your relationship. Everyone really has their opinions." The moment Shen Ran started this topic, he couldn’t stop. "We’ve suggested you bring your sister-in-law along, and you wouldn’t. I’ve never seen anyone hide their girl so tight."

Ever since Xu Haoyang confirmed his relationship with Xiao Shiyao, all his good buddies, including Shen Ran, had been wanting Xu Haoyang to bring Xiao Shiyao out so they could meet her. However, Xu Haoyang kept Xiao Shiyao very close, only giving them a glimpse of her once before never meeting her again.

Even Haoyang had been seldom coming to their gatherings because he wanted to spend time with his dear girlfriend. "Let me tell you, the guys are really holding it against you. Look, since you’re free today, if you don’t come out and hang with us, it’d really be unreasonable."

Xu Haoyang thought about it, and indeed, he hadn’t been spending time with his friends. Seeing as Yaoyao didn’t have time today, and he couldn’t arrange a meeting anyway, he nodded in agreement: "Alright, let’s hang out tonight."

Xu Haoyang didn’t know that Shen Ran and the others really had a gathering today, and it wasn’t just any gathering. Previously, they thought that since Xu Haoyang was recently very close with Xiao Shiyao, he wouldn’t have time to hang out with them, so they didn’t tell Xu Haoyang about it.

Unexpectedly, this incident happened.

And Shen Ran also forgot about it for a moment.

So, when Xu Haoyang and Shen Ran arrived at the gathering’s private room, pushed the door open, and saw the people already seated, they were both stunned.

Not only were Xu Haoyang and Shen Ran stunned, but the people inside the room were also shocked when they saw Xu Haoyang. At this moment, Shen Ran really wanted to slap himself; how could he forget that today’s gathering, besides their group of brothers, also had girls.

"Xu Haoyang, sit over here." Xu Haoyang was somewhat reluctant to enter, but before he could retreat, someone called out to him.

The girl who called out to Xu Haoyang was named Zhang Yue, and her calling out to Xu Haoyang wasn’t for herself, but for her own good friend Wu Xinyu. "I say, Handsome Xu, it’s rare to meet, you wouldn’t just refuse to give face to everyone like this, right? Or is it that Miss Xiao is too strict with you? You two aren’t even engaged yet, and she’s already this controlling; if you were married, then it would be unbearable."

Zhang Yue’s words instantly made Xu Haoyang’s face darken. Clearly, Zhang Yue’s remarks had angered him.

"Zhang Yue." Zhang Yue’s words, and Xu Haoyang’s expression let Xu Haoyang’s group of brothers know, oh no, Zhang Yue’s words had crossed Xu Haoyang’s line.

They knew what kind of place Xiao Shiyao held in Xu Haoyang’s heart.

"Did I say something wrong? The moment you see us all here, you’re ready to leave. Xu Haoyang, what are you feeling guilty about? Or who, who are you afraid of meeting?"

"Yueyue." Sitting next to Zhang Yue, Wu Xinyu reached out and pulled Zhang Yue’s arm, trying to get her to stop talking.

However, Wu Xinyu was just putting on a show. If she really didn’t want Zhang Yue to speak, she should have stopped her as soon as she opened her mouth. Now that Zhang Yue had said so much, it shows what sort of intentions and mind games she was playing—who wouldn’t know?

Xiao Shiyao didn’t even know what to say; should she say that she and Xu Haoyang are really fated, or that someone is trying to provoke her.

Originally, she was planning to take Lu Xinyi home, but then, on the way, she received a call from her mother saying they had arranged a dinner meeting with Lu Xinyi’s parents, and asked her and Lu Xinyi not to return home, but go directly to the restaurant.

Currently, her parents and Lu Xinyi’s parents were discussing her older brother and Lu Xinyi’s marriage. She felt it wasn’t appropriate for her to be there, so she used the excuse to go out for some air. And just as she was leaving the private room and heading to the lobby, she overheard Zhang Yue’s words.

Zhang Yue, she didn’t really recognize, but it sounded like Zhang Yue had quite a bias against her.
