66 Eavesdropping

Seeing that she was standing still, Yu Niaoniao reminded her.

“You’re blocking the way. Please make way.”

Yu Pingping questioned indignantly, “Why should I?”

Yu Niaoniao did not want to argue with her over such a small matter, let alone block the stairs so that no one else could pass because of a little conflict between the two of them. Without a word, Yu Niaoniao brought Dang Gui back to the second floor and gave up the stairs.

Yu Pingping lifted her skirt and walked up with her head held high, like a little peacock who had won a battle.

She deliberately paused as she passed Yu Niaoniao.

“Don’t think I’ll be impressed just because you saved brother. It’s impossible! I’ll never acknowledge you as my sister.”

With that, she snorted softly and walked leisurely towards the private room they had agreed on.

Yu Niaoniao watched her leave and suddenly said to her.

“I wouldn’t push open the door now if I were you.”

Yu Pingping stopped.

She turned back to Yu Niaoniao and asked suspiciously.

“What do you mean by that?”

Yu Niaoniao pointed to her ear and then to the door of the private room.

The meaning was clear. She wanted her to hear it for herself.

Yu Pingping frowned. “What the hell are you doing?”

Although she complained, her body did as she was told honestly.

She approached the private room and pressed her ear to the door.

The conversation in the private room entered her ears clearly.

“Why isn’t Yu Pingping here yet?”

This was Ji Wenjing’s voice.

Yu Pingping was very embarrassed. She had been delayed when she left the house and had spent some time with Yu Niaoniao on the stairs just now, causing her to be late and make her sister wait for a long time.

She glared at Yu Niaoniao at the thought. Yu Niaoniao had already made her late, yet she still instigated her to hide outside the door and eavesdrop.

She had been out of her mind to do what Yu Niaoniao had said. Just as Yu Pingping was about to push open the door to the private room, she heard Ji Wenjing speak.

“I’m surprised she made us wait so long. She has to pay for this refreshment.”

It was just a cup of tea. It was nothing to Yu Pingping. She usually treated her sisters to a meal and would buy them a lot of popular rouge and powder as small gifts.

She had always been generous with her friends. But the tone in which Ji Wenjing said this made Yu Fan uncomfortable. That matter-of-fact attitude was as if Yu Pingping owed them something.

At this moment, Yang Xianrong spoke.

“Since someone’s paying the bill, let’s ask for more refreshments. I’ve always wanted to try this place’s Cloud Mist Tea. I hear it’s delicious.”

Wan Jiatong asked carefully, “Cloud Mist Tea is the most expensive tea here. Yu Pingping will be unhappy if she finds out, right?”

Yang Xianrong did not think much of this. “Her grandfather’s family has been exiled. Now that we’re still willing to interact with her, we’re already thinking highly of her. What else can she be unhappy about?”

Ji Wenjing echoed, “That’s right. If not for her generosity, I would have stopped interacting with her when I found out that her cousin had been convicted.”

Wan Jiatong said, “Don’t say that. It won’t be good if she hears you.”

Yang Xianrong said, “Don’t worry, we’ll still give her some respect. We’ll only say these things in private. We won’t embarrass her in person.”

Ji Wenjing laughed. “You’re so bad.”

Yang Xianrong raised her eyebrows. “You say I’m bad? How much better are you than me? Every time Yu Pingping treats someone to a meal, you guys have to use the most expensive ones. After that, you even laugh at her for being stupid behind her back.”
