Chapter 99: An Alternative Method of Compensation

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

“Ah…” Huo Buran immediately remembered. Then, she extended a hand towards Ye Yao. “I had failed to make a thorough investigation of the incident at that time and had wronged you. Later on, I wanted to compensate you, but I wasn’t able to locate you. I do apologize for making you wait in the detention center for so long.” Huo Buran felt quite guilty at the mention of this incident. Because of Huo Buyu’s accident, she was worried and angry. She felt that Ye Yao was the culprit and had even called the police to have her arrested. Ye Yao had repeatedly claimed that she was innocent. Because there was no evidence, the police could only detain her. Later on, after investigating the car records and confirming that Ye Yao was innocent, they released her.

But no matter what, it was a fact that Ye Yao was slandered for doing a good deed.

Noting that Huo Buyu and Ye Yao were holding hands, Huo Buran smiled and remarked, “It seems that Huo Buyu has compensated you in another way.” As Huo Buyu’s elder sister, she had never seen Huo Buyu being this serious. It seemed that he had fallen for Ye Yao.

Ye Yao leaned against Huo Buyu’s shoulder and smiled.

Huo Buran returned the smile and said, “It was my intention to compensate

you previously, but you left. It’s not too late now. If you need anything, just let me know.” Actually, Huo Buran had a good impression of Ye Yao. They owed Ye Yao for what she had done previously.

Ye Yao waved her hand and replied, “It’s okay. It was a freak combination of circumstances that saved Huo Buyu. It can be considered our fate. There’s no need to talk about compensation. However, I do have a question for Big Sister Buran.”

Huo Buran said, “Go ahead.”

Ye Yao ventured, “I have a friend by the name of Jiang Jie. She’s also in the entertainment industry. I wonder if Big Sister Buran has heard of her? She’s always been keen to join your entertainment company. I wonder if you could give her the opportunity for an interview…”

Huo Buran laughed after hearing this. “Jiang Jie, I know this lass. She has good potential, but I can’t accede to your request.”

Ye Yao was stunned for a moment, but he did not feel disappointed. She only shrugged. “Alright.” Huo Buran was a businesswoman after all, and business people valued benefits. They would make these decisions based on benefits and not people.

Huo Buyu frowned and was a little dissatisfied. “Big Sister.”

Huo Buran glared at Huo Buyu. “It’s not such a big matter, is it? I’m only turning down a request from your girlfriend, and you get this way with me?” She had a playful smile on her face. There is a saying, when a woman grows up, she can’t be held back. How was it that in their family, it was the grown up man who couldn’t be held back?

Huo Buran smiled and looked at Ye Yao. “It’s not that I’m not acceding to your request, but I had already planned to sign Jiang Jie on. The company is drafting a contract, so even if you hadn’t made this request, I had the intention of signing a contract with Jiang Jie.” Huo Buran thought highly of Jiang Jie’s personality and style. If such a person could become famous in the entertainment industry, it would bring her benefits.

Ye Yao was instantly excited. She clung to Huo Buyu’s arm and shook it, exclaiming, “Oh my god! If Jiang Jie finds out about this, she’d shriek in excitement!”

Huo Buran was six years older than Huo Buyu and had always taken good care of him. Now that she saw how close Huo Buyu and Ye Yao were, she was very gratified. At the same time, she was worried, although not overly so. After all, Huo Buyu and Ye Yao were still young. It was fine for the two of them to be in a relationship, who was to say whether it would last. As for the problems at home, there was no need to consider them now.

“Big Sister Buran, Huo Buyu, Miss Ye.” Jiang Yun walked over and greeted them. When Huo Buran saw Jiang Yun, she smiled. “Jiang Yun, you’re here too.”

“I was going to come with Huo Buyu, but I was delayed on the way, so I came

late.” Jiang Yun had changed into a long white dress with a circle of sparkling diamonds around the edge, it was particularly pretty. Everything else aside, Jiang Yun was a beautiful girl with a good temperament. She was the sort that could easily make people feel inferior.

However, it was a pity that Ye Yao had never believed in looks since she was young. This was because Yang Ya often deceived her with that beautiful face. She would put on a pitiful expression, as if the entire world owed her. She made Ye Yao sacrifice herself to fulfill her happiness.

“Ye Yao.” At the very thought of Yang Ya, the woman suddenly appeared. Yang Ya swiftly said to the others, “I’m looking for Ye Yao, please excuse us.” With that, Yang Ya went up to Ye Yao and took her hand, however, Ye Yao did not budge as Huo Buyu didn’t let go.

The man had an icy expression. After what happened at Grandmother Gao’s birthday banquet last time, he felt that Yang Ya didn’t treat Ye Yao well at all. In fact, the woman had malicious intentions..
