Back For My Daughter

Chapter 322 - Strength Doesn't Always Mean Power

In the hall where Ji's birthday party was going on.

Ji had a gloomy look on her face as she seemed very tired and continued to glance at Ye Qian and Yuan Meng with the corner of her eyes every now and then.

'There monkeys will bore me to death today.'

She was bored of receiving gifts and talking with each and everyone who had come to her party, she would better celebrate her birthday with her Big Sister Meng and some of their friends.

She forced a smile on her lips and welcomed the few Donkeys and Monkeys who were coming at her while holding big wrapped gifts and flower bouquets in their hands.

"Cousin, you must have recognized most of them didn't you?'

Her cousin exclaimed at her while pointing at the few young men and women who had followed him up till now and were circling him before.

"Hmm."

With a smile that extended from one ear to another, Ji forced her lips and nodded.

She knew that if she didn't force her lips then she won't be able to control herself and spat some really bad words at them.

Because in this horde of men and women, there were some who were from her senior class and some from junior as well.

But that was not why she would curse them, many used to despise her for her looks and intellect since they didn't know of her background before.

But now, here they were, showing as if they were her best friends and had even brought some of the most expensive gifts for her.

It was already hard for her to smile at them much less when she was already wanting to throw a tantrum for standing so long.

"Hello Ji, happy birthday to you, you should have remembered me, I am An Jin, a senior from your department."

"Hello, thanks for coming to my birthday."

Ji forced herself to stand for a few more 15 minutes and shoved them away with many hardships.

"HAAAH."

She finally sat on the chair while gulped a sip of wine and turned to Ye Qian and Yuan Meg's table and started to walk to them.

"Hey is she going to them personally?"

"Might be, or maybe she wants to ask something important?"

"Could he be her boyfriend or something?"

"Hey how can that be, can't you see that brat's clothes, he barely seems to be coming from a middle-class family."

"Nah, I think he might a bumpkin who came to the city just for studies."

"Yeah, that might be, doesn't the University takes a few average students in order to show that they work with social wellbeing as well."

"Yeah, that might be the reason, or with his behaviour and manners, heh, I don't think he might even have been able to get admissions in the third-grade University."

"Kek, you think, is he even worth to be a servant of anyone of ours house?"

"Exactly."

The few young masters continued to discuss within themselves with contempt in their eyes, as they saw Ji was walking to Ye Qian and Yuan Meng's table with a bright smile.

But this time the middle-aged man didn't say anything to Ji and let her go to them, but there was a mocking smile on his face as he glanced at Ye Qian and Yuan Meng with the corner of her eyes while talking with the few other peoples of his group.

Meanwhile, at the corner of the table.

Yuan Meng and Ye Qian seemed to be having a lovely date while not being disturbed by their surroundings.

"Mengmeng, I thought that the guards would have thrown me out if you had not come before."

Ye Qian said with a dejected look and gulped down a glass of water.

"Don't worry, nothing like that happened and aren't you strong enough to fight back?"

Yuan Meng took his hand in her palm and smiled while taking a spoon of cake and bringing it to his lips.

"But, I am not that much strong."

Ye Qian pursed his lips and shook his head while he glanced at the few men and the guards who were present all over the hall.

Of course, he knew that he would be able to take down one or two men one go without much problem even with his thin physique.

But when facing so many people and he would not be able to handle it at all.

Besides, it was always his anger that gave him power, and it was not like he would get angry at the guards because it was his fault to come without an invitation.

Most of the time he would only be angered if her were to see someone doing something wrong or if being bullied, but he was not always angry.

"Hmm."

Yuan Meng nodded and closed the spoon to him and looked at the men around them.

Of course, she also glanced at the ones who were staring at her all the time with disdain and turned to Ye Qian.

"For me, you are the strongest and the best."

"And you shouldn't say that ever again that you are not strong."

She seem to have thought of something when she said it and continued.

"Strength doesn't always mean that you are powerful."

She mumbled with a lost look and shook her head.

"Hmm."

Ye Qian nodded and ate from her spoon.

"Hehe."
