Hearing the phone ringing, the adorable Jiang Nai reminded, “Sister Zhiyan, your phone is ringing!”
It took a moment for Lin Zhiyan to react and see an unfamiliar caller ID on her phone. She picked it up, feeling puzzled.
While Lin Zhiyan did have a phone, not many people called her. It was mostly her parents or Nan Yan.
So, who could this person be?
Meanwhile, Nan Yan was lazily leaning on her computer chair, watching the two of them.
Seeing Lin Zhiyan answer the call, a faint, almost imperceptible, smirk appeared on her lips.
If the other party didn’t make a move, she wouldn’t find this situation interesting at all. However, if they couldn’t resist and wanted to threaten Lin Zhiyan, then she wouldn’t hold back either.
Lin Zhiyan had social anxiety, so she didn’t speak immediately when she answered the call. She simply held the phone nervously, waiting for the other person to speak first.
“Are you Lin Zhiyan?” came an arrogant but unmistakably young female voice through the receiver.
“Yes, it’s me,” Lin Zhiyan murmured, her voice soft. “Who are you?”
“I’m Tang Tang.”
Tang Tang got straight to the point as soon as she started the conversation, revealing her identity.
“Is it you?” Lin Zhiyan was genuinely surprised.
She hadn’t expected Tang Tang to call her.
At this moment, Nan Yan signaled her with gestures to start recording and use the speakerphone.
Lin Zhiyan quickly followed Nan Yan’s lead, switched to recording mode, and turned on the speakerphone.
Then, Tang Tang’s voice came through:
“If you don’t want the Lin family’s business to suffer and face bankruptcy because of you, it’s in your best interest to clear your Weibo and admit that you plagiarized my artwork.”
“Of course, I won’t make you do this for nothing. I’ll compensate you with ten million yuan. With those few pieces of art you have, you probably won’t make that much in your entire life.”
Tang Tang’s tone was filled with arrogance, as if she were condescendingly offering Lin Zhiyan a deal.
“Forgot to mention, I’m the eldest daughter of the Tang family in the Imperial
City. It’s a piece of cake for me to mess with a small family like yours in Jin City. You better take advantage of my willingness to negotiate with you right now and agree.”
“I’ve said so much; did you understand it all? If it’s unclear, I can explain it more clearly. After all, you have a mental problem. How can a fool like you be worthy of learning painting?”
Tang Tang’s mocking and malicious words stirred up Lin Zhiyan’s emotions, causing her to lose control again.
Her face visibly paled, her long eyelashes trembled incessantly, and she seemed to be under immense pressure, on the verge of collapsing at any moment.
Jiang Nai, despite her petite size, had a fiery temper.
She quickly held onto Lin Zhiyan and angrily confronted Tang Tang through the phone, “You plagiarist, shameless person! How dare you threaten Sister Zhiyan? Who gave you the courage?”
“Let me tell you, we’re not afraid of you!”
Tang Tang was flustered by the shouting and, in her nervousness, hung up the phone.
Nan Yan walked over, taking out a silver needle and inserting it into Lin Zhiyan’s chest a few times.
Lin Zhiyan’s complexion gradually improved.
“Yan Yan, I don’t want to paint anymore…”
Her mood was very low, and her eyes lacked their usual sparkle.
During the most severe periods of her depression, she relied on painting to get through those tough days. She genuinely loved painting.
But…
“She’s the eldest daughter of the Tang family in the imperial capital. I know about the Tang family. If she really makes the Tang family target the Lin family, the Lin family will end up bankrupt.’
“I can’t let my dad’s hard work go to waste because of me…”
The Lin family was founded by Lin’s Dad, and while it couldn’t compare to those large clans, it was their family’s hope.
Nan Yan looked at her calmly and spoke in a cold tone, “Lin Zhiyan, do you trust me?”
“I do!” Lin Zhiyan nodded without any hesitation.
“Yan Yan, I know you’re very capable, but this trouble is my fault. The An family won’t have any feelings for you. They definitely won’t help you. Don’t let yourself be affected for my sake!”
She wasn’t a fool; in fact, she thought about things far more than ordinary people of her age. She also knew that Nan Yan genuinely cared about her. That’s why she didn’t want to drag Nan Yan into this.
Nan Yan reached out and patted her shoulder, saying calmly, “Since you trust me, then leave this matter to me to handle. You stay at home and wait for the invitation from the Art Association.’
“But, Yan Yan…”
Lin Zhiyan’s hands clenched nervously, and her thoughts were in turmoil, not knowing what else to say. “An invitation from the Art Association?”
“Will there really be one?”
“Just wait patiently. You don’t need to worry about that threat from Tang Tang.
She will reap what she sows.”
Nan Yan’s clear and indifferent voice seemed to have a mysterious power, instantly calming Lin Zhiyan’s previously frantic and nervous mood.
Jiang Nai nodded enthusiastically by her side. “That’s right, Sister Zhiyan. You should trust Sister. If she says she can do it, then she definitely can!”
After Nan Yan saved little Jiang Nai, she had become an even more dedicated fan of Nan Yan. In her eyes, Nan Yan could do anything!
With the assurance of Nan Yan and Jiang Nail s well-being, Lin Zhiyan nodded, saying, “I understand.”
After having lunch at Lin’s house and spending some time with Lin Zhiyan, they realized it was getting late and decided to leave. Lin’s mom saw them off, reluctant to part with them, repeatedly urging them to visit often.
“Sister, how are we going back?”
Jiang Nai looked at the clean street, devoid of even a single taxi, blinking her eyes cutely as she gazed at Nan Yan.
Nan Yan casually ruffled her hair. “Wait a moment; someone’s coming to pick us up.”
“Oh…”
In just a few minutes, a Rolls-Royce pulled up in front of them.
Jiang Nai found it very familiar. This was her sister’s brother’s car!
The car window rolled down, and Wu Yue’s face wore a flattering smile. “Miss Nan, please get in!”
Jiang Nai hurriedly went to open the car door for Nan Yan.
Nan Yan walked over to her side and patted her little head. “Little Nai, sit in the front passenger seat.”
“Okay!” Jiang Nails eyes spun around as she pulled the car door open. “Then, Sister, you go first!”
“Good girl.” Nan Yan’s lips curled slightly as she sat in the car.
Seeing a notebook on his lap, he smiled at her, “Little one, haven’t seen me for a while. Did you miss me?”
Nan Yan’s expression froze for a moment, then she forced composure, her face expressionless. “No.”
“So heartless?” A low, charming chuckle came from the man beside her.
Nan Yan:
She turned her head and said coldly, word by word, “Brother, don’t flirt casually-
Wu Yue: “Pfft…
He really didn’t mean to!
It just slipped out!
Jiang Nai also wanted to laugh, but she covered her mouth with her little hand, not letting herself burst into laughter.
Qin Lu:
He took a deep breath, then closed the notebook and placed it at his side. Afterward, he slightly leaned forward, trapping the girl between the car door and the seat.
“Yanyan, what did you just say? Big brother didn’t hear it clearly….”
