Crazy! Are You Really A Beast Tamer?

Chapter 457: Chapter 246 Who Are You on Equal Terms With!?_3
Gao Hengyun was inherently reckless, like an unpredictable volcano, his emotions easily overpowering his reason.

She Jiazhen saw it best to keep his distance from such a person, to avoid getting himself into trouble.

She Jiazhen brought He Shiyu along because he was two years older than her and had treated her like a little sister since they were children.

So he decided to help He Shiyu escape this dangerous zone effortlessly.

Hearing She Jiazhen’s words, He Shiyu, Wu Yao, and the rather reserved Zhao Yingying were all very surprised.

Firstly, She Jiazhen had a handsome face with thick brows and big eyes.

In a crowd of nobles, he could be considered among the finest.

Add to that his strong sense of narcissism, it left them wondering what Fang Mu would need to look like in order for She Jiazhen to call him more handsome than himself!

Gao Wenyuan had personally seen Fang Mu at the Shi Xi Hotel and found him very attractive.

That was because Gao Wenyuan was determined to charm Fang Mu.

She believed that if Fang Mu could be won over by She Wan, there was no reason she wouldn’t have a chance with Fang Mu given her good looks.

Fang Mu would definitely be attracted to her!

That’s why, even after becoming the Gao family’s Noble Girl, Gao Wenyuan dared to ignore Gao Hengyun.

It was true that Gao Wenyuan had considered seducing Gao Hengyun, and she had indeed attempted it.

But to her surprise, Gao Hengyun didn’t fall for her allure at all.

This infuriated Gao Wenyuan and she felt thoroughly humiliated, practically insulted.

Otherwise, she wouldn’t have gone out of her way to ridicule Gao Hengyun.

Actually, Gao Wenyuan was now possessing a gambler’s mindset.

She knew very well that if she failed to seduce Jianmu, her position as the Gao Family’s Noble Girl would be in jeopardy.

So Gao Wenyuan had to place herself in the position of winning over Fang Mu.

Otherwise, once her mindset shifted, her entire demeanor could crumble into disarray.

The reason Gao Wenyuan, having seen Fang Mu, didn’t back up She Jiazhen’s claim was because she didn’t want anyone other than herself to develop any ideas about Fang Mu.

It was a strategy to lessen the competitive pressure and difficulty she had to face.

As Gao Wenyuan was contemplating, Wu Yao and Zhao Yingying had already walked away, heading towards She Jiazhen to find out more.

Seeing Wu Yao walking away, Gao Hengyun walked over to Gao Wenyuan and spoke coldly.

“Have you ever heard of a phrase, Gao Wenyuan? A lowly creature will always remain a lowly creature.”

“You should know exactly why you, of all people without the pure bloodline, could assume the position of Noble Lady.”

“Don’t ever believe you can truly rise above your humble origins.”

“You surely haven’t forgotten how you insinuated yourself into my favor in the beginning, have you?”

Gao Hengyun’s words, were scornfully acidic. What Gao Wenyuan despised most was when people looked down on her.

Gao Hengyun insultingly referred to her as a “lowly creature,” which was a direct hit to her sore spot.

Gao Wenyuan pulled a smile, as pleasant as a white blossom blossoming on a May branch.

“What’s wrong with being a lowly creature?”

“As a lowly creature, I’ve assumed the place of the Gao Family’s Noble Girl, on par with you, a noble. We faced each other evenly at the family meeting yesterday.”

“Watch your words, Gao Hengyun!”

“Me, insinuate you? What exactly did I insinuate you?”

“Would you dare to clarify in front of our uncle?”

Upon hearing her words, the scorn on Gao Hengyun’s face grew even more evident.

“Being seated opposite each other, you think that makes us equals!?”

“Gao Wenyuan, what you’re unwilling to face is just one thing — bloodline. You’ll always be limited by it, no matter your efforts to climb up in the Gao family.”

“If you’ve done something, you’ve done it. If you haven’t, you haven’t. You know very well what’s done is done and words won’t change anything!”

“You better be praying for how to get Mr. Jianmu’s interest, to fortify your precarious position as a Noble Girl.”

“Stop dreaming of building a towering building out of thin air with the help of a fair wind. Should the wind fail you, the building will surely crumble, crushing you to pieces!”

Gao Wenyuan was using the Gao Family’s objectives to pressure Gao Hengyun.

Gao Wenyuan knew that Gao Hengyun wouldn’t air their dirty laundry, as it would interfere with the Gao Family’s objectives.

If Gao Hengyun did that and it affected her, he would become the Gao Family’s villain.

But Gao Hengyun was completely unbothered, carrying an air of superiority.

As if Gao Hengyun was a lofty pine tree, able to righteously claim “what’s done is done,” while she was but a climbing vine, always employing cunning means to fight for her own benefits.

Yet in the end, her fate entirely depended on the tree she was clinging to.

Gao Hengyun had directly hit Gao Wenyuan’s weak spot, causing her concentration to falter in an instant.

Underneath the facade of a white blossom, venomous anger was seeping out.

Gao Wenyuan strictly turned to Gao Hengyun and said,…

“Whether I end up smashed to pieces in the collapse is my business, Gao Hengyun, none of yours!”

“You were born a noble of the Gao Family, how could you ever understand the hardships and pain I’ve gone through?”

“Your status and bloodline are so noble, yet you’re still unable to win over Wu Yao, aren’t you?”

“This year, Wu Yao is going to be engaged to Zheng Han, the Young Family Head of the leading Lu City. When the time comes, I hope you will be able to speak as boldly at Wu Yao’s engagement party as you are speaking to me now.”

Having said that, Gao Wenyuan turned around and walked towards Red Falcon.

If Gao Hengyun pokes my soft spot, I can do the same to him.

Nothing more than mutual discomfort.

But ultimately, Gao Wenyuan didn’t dare to provoke Gao Hengyun too much, fearing that driving him to the edge might make him behave rashly.

Once she was by Red Falcon’s side, even if Gao Hengyun was fuming, he would have to swallow his anger.

Before Gao Wenyuan had reached Red Falcon, she suddenly noticed the ambient chatter ceased.

This made Gao Wenyuan somewhat puzzled.

The great powers of Lu City prided themselves on their identities and usually arrived late to such events.

After the arrival of the Five Clans of Lu City, numerous other forces had come to this trade meeting one after another.

Now was precisely the time for pleasantries and lively conversation before the start of the trade meeting.

Once the meeting began and everyone started competing, tempers were bound to flare.
