Fan Ying burst into laughter, a sound sharp and decisive, carrying an air of nonchalance, "Good, I like your temperament." Yun Ya pursed her lips and smiled, instantly returning to the gentle and elegant Ji Yunya. This Fan Ying was indeed a person of character. Deep in thought, she raised her head, and opposite her, Ye Xiaoxiao also came over, surrounded by a group of girls, like a moon among the stars. She walked up to Yun Ya, standing slightly taller which, though only by a little, gave a visually imposing feeling, as if she towered over others with her presence. In an instant, Ji Yunya seemed just like a fragile little rabbit. Ye Xiaoxiao’s face bore a smile, but her gaze from high above was cold and indifferent, infused with a monarch’s disdain, like a queen looking down at ants from her throne. Such a look was truly nauseating. Yun Ya’s smile remained as she lifted her eyes, the curve of her lips perfectly measured, her beauty and poise unparalleled. Even with Ye Xiaoxiao’s jealousy, she had to admit that this girl truly deserved the title of the foremost young lady of society. "You’re Ji Yunya, the foremost young lady of society?" Ye Xiaoxiao asked with a tone of contempt and indifference, as casual as if inquiring about a night owl on the street. The girls behind her chuckled and looked at Ji Yunya with mocking eyes. In the presence of Miss Ye, to dare claim the title of the foremost young lady of society? As if trying to wield a big sword before Guan Gong, overestimating one’s abilities and humiliating oneself. Fan Ying’s eyes darkened and she moved to stand in front of Ji Yunya, recognizing that Ye Xiaoxiao’s hostility was aimed at Ji Yunya. "The media gave me that title, and although I don’t really like it, Miss Ye, if you fancy it, then I’ll gladly give it to you," the girl said in a soft and languid voice, sounding quite indifferent. Fan Ying smiled and stopped in her tracks; she had underestimated this girl, quite the smooth talker. Ye Xiaoxiao let out a cold laugh, her gaze landing like poisoned darts on Ji Yunya’s face, "Who would covet it, keep it for yourself." Yun Ya smiled: "Then I shall humbly comply." Such thick-skinned, indeed. Ye Xiaoxiao was fuming, almost instinctively moving to strike but thinking better of it at the last moment. Ji Yunya had a pair of very beautiful eyes, black and clear, like crystal-clear stream water, yet as deep and mysterious as an ancient well, inexplicably chilling to the bone. Ye Xiaoxiao instinctively averted her eyes, and at this moment, the slightly chubby girl standing behind Ye Xiaoxiao spoke up: "This Ji Yunya is no match for Miss Ye, it’s like comparing a wild chicken to a phoenix, the media really is blind." It was the same girl who had interjected earlier. Upon catching Yun Ya’s pitch-black gaze, the girl’s heart skipped a beat and she hastily averted her eyes. The other girls joined in, their words dripping with scorn for Ji Yunya and adulation for Ye Xiaoxiao. They admired Ye Xiaoxiao, for after all, they were not from the same class; the Ye Family was one of Country Hua’s top-tier wealthy families, whereas Ji Yunya, bluntly put, was nothing but a nouveau-riche. How could she possibly compare with Ye Xiaoxiao? Yun Ya stood quietly in her place, neither ashamed nor embarrassed, as if the remarks weren’t about her at all, making these people look more and more like clowns. Gradually, they could no longer speak or laugh. "Someone with a head full of red hair calling others fairies, go take a good look at yourself in the mirror," Fan Ying retorted with scorn. She couldn’t stand these women who put on airs and badmouthed others behind their backs, calling themselves socialites but in truth, sullying the term.

"Alright, after all, it’s the media who crowned you, and you do seem to fit the part, not sullying the reputation. The Eldest Miss of the Ji Family used to be called the foremost young lady too, but I heard she cheated within her marriage, tsk tsk... You can never really know someone by just their appearance," Ye Xiaoxiao said mockingly, glancing at Yun Ya with a sneer. "Miss Ye’s family works in the entertainment industry; you must understand how much gossip and groundless rumors circulate there. It’s all exaggerated and shouldn’t be taken seriously," Yun Ya really disliked it when others mentioned Ji Lanyi in front of her. Ye Xiaoxiao, however, repeatedly provoked her, and even a clay figurine has a three-part temper. "There is no smoke without fire, they say, and ’a dragon births a dragon, a phoenix births a phoenix, and the son of a mouse will dig holes.’ This title of the foremost young lady, and the former... I wonder who is more formidable?" Yun Ya remained calm and collected: "Then Miss Ye, please wait and see."
