Eradicating her enemies, she would try to be a kind person, striving to grow towards the sun. The two sat down in the private room, and soon after, Shen Xudong, Gao He, Mai Jiehui, and Ming Han entered one after another. Mai Zheng, that shameless girl, had run off first. Yun Ya waved to Ming Han, "Father Ming Han, I want to sit with you." Her tone, like a young daughter’s, instantly delighted Ming Han, who sat down next to Yun Ya on the right and said with a smile, "Daddy also wants to sit with you." After ten years of not seeing each other, it seemed that there was no gulf between the two. They got along just like an ordinary father and daughter, naturally, and Yun Ya called him "Daddy" very smoothly. Every time Yun Ya called "Daddy," Ming Han’s eyes would brim with indulgence. Soon, Yuan Pan, leading a girl, walked in, "Sorry to have kept everyone waiting, haha, before coming out, the station manager wanted to talk, which held me up. I’ll drink three cups as an apology." Gao He laughed, "Three cups? How could that be enough? It’s got to be thirty to count. I’ve heard that Director Yuan’s tolerance for liquor is extraordinary." Yuan Pan waved his hand, "That was back in my youth; I can’t handle as much anymore." The group exchanged pleasantries, creating a harmonious atmosphere, while the girl quietly followed behind Yuan Pan. After sitting down, Yuan Pan turned to Yun Ya with a smile, "Yun Ya, ten years have gone by, you’ve changed so much. But now that I think about it, it’s as if you haven’t changed at all, still so beautiful and elegant. This top socialite title suits you just perfectly." Yun Ya smiled and picked up the juice in front of her to stand up, "Director, thank you for recognizing my potential back then. I’ll drink to you with juice in place of wine." With those words, she tossed it back. Her gentleness didn’t lack boldness, prompting Gao He to clap involuntarily, "Yun Ya, this girl — I felt she was extraordinary since she was little. Smart, beautiful, and also well-behaved and sensible. Ming Han, brother, you are really blessed." Ming Han looked at Yun Ya affectionately, that look in his eyes exactly like Shen Xudong’s when he looked at Shen Luokui. The girl sitting next to Yuan Pan’s eyes contracted slightly, and she lowered her lashes gently, hiding the complex emotions in her eyes, her hands clenched into fists under her sleeves. Yuan Pan laughed, "It’s also a kind of fate. If I hadn’t seen Yun Ya’s potential back then, Ming Han, you would have missed out on such an outstanding daughter. It makes me envious and resentful." Raising the wine glass in front of him, Ming Han said with a light chuckle, "I’ll drink this glass to you, my benefactor, to express my gratitude." He drained it in one gulp. Yuan Pan gestured dismissively, "I don’t deserve to be called a benefactor...." He paused, remembering the girl by his side, "Oh right, I forgot to introduce her. Everyone must recognize her; she’s the runner-up in tonight’s competition, Xue Chengcheng. This girl has great potential. I brought her here to experience the world, and because back then...." "Director, don’t make fun of me in front of all these seniors," Xue Chengcheng said coquettishly, successfully interrupting Yuan Pan’s following words. Yuan Pan chuckled, "This girl is thin-skinned, alright, alright, I won’t say it then." Xue Chengcheng breathed a sigh of relief. She didn’t like Yuan Pan bringing up that matter in front of these people, it made her feel extremely embarrassed. Yun Ya glanced at Xue Chengcheng with an imperceptible smile. What was it that Yuan Pan didn’t say? She became a bit curious. The others showed some respect for Yuan Pan by nodding to Xue Chengcheng secretly, but only Ming Han, not even sparing her a glance, kept serving food to Yun Ya. Xue Chengcheng bit her lip in secret, her smile on the surface growing even more gentle. Shen Luokui leaned towards Yun Ya and whispered, "That woman always gives me a weird feeling. I didn’t like her during the auditions, and now I’ve finally figured out what’s off about her. She’s like you – not in looks but in temperament...." Yun Ya curved her lips into a smile, ate all the food Ming Han had served her without dropping a bite. After swallowing everything, she took a napkin and wiped her mouth, every movement exuding captivating elegance and grace, pleasing to the eye. ᴛhis chapter is ᴜpdated by novel⚑fire.net "Is that so? There are many people in the world who resemble each other, it’s nothing unusual." Shen Luokui glanced at Xue Chengcheng, then at Yun Ya, and subtly pursed her lips, thinking, "I feel like she’s always intentionally or unintentionally copying you. Am I imagining things? But no matter what, she can’t compare to even a single hair of yours." Yun Ya smiled lightly and glanced at Shen Luokui, "We just need to be ourselves." A wild bird will always be a wild bird; it can never change into a Phoenix – that was what Shen Luokui was thinking at that moment. Ming Han continued to put more food on Yun Ya’s plate while Yun Ya helplessly said, "Father Ming Han, I’m full, I really can’t eat anymore."
