Yu Xi was waiting anxiously in the underground parking lot.

He could feel the tumultuous thudding of his heartbeat.

He couldn’t afford to offend either of them. On one side it was Zhai Yunsheng, and on the other was Jian Yuncheng.

As soon as Master Sheng had found out about Jian Yuncheng’s request to meet Yu Xi, he had insisted that he was going to go instead.

So what could Yu Xi do about it? He could do nothing other than patiently wait in the underground parking lot.

However, he couldn’t sit still in the car. Soon, he got up and started to pace around the parking lot. From walking back and forth, he had racked up a few thousand steps on WeRun.

Finally, he saw Zhai Yunsheng return. Yu Xi immediately ran over to greet him:

“Master Sheng, you didn’t do anything to Jian Yuncheng right?”

“Not really.”

Although Yu Xi heard Master Sheng’s response, he didn’t quite believe it. What did he mean by ‘Not really?’

“Master Sheng, you didn’t verbally attack Jian Yuncheng?” Yu Xi couldn’t help but become quite worried.

Although Jian Yuncheng couldn’t do anything to Zhai Yunsheng, Yu Xi was still terrified that something would end up happening.

“Why would I verbally attack him?”

Yu Xi thought about it for a moment. How would he know the reason? He didn’t even know why Master Sheng had insisted on meeting Jian Yuncheng today!

After he paused for a moment, Yu Xi asked again, “Then… Why was Jian Yuncheng looking for me?”

“Hmm… I don’t know. Maybe he’s crazy.”

Cra… Crazy…?

The corner of Yu Xi’s mouth twitched a few times.

“By the way, I saw someone post something on the campus forum about half an hour ago. Jian Yuncheng had sent someone to post something on the forum to mess with that servant’s daughter.”

Yu Xi couldn’t help but sigh. Jian Yuncheng was as ruthless as always. He didn’t even show any mercy to a young girl.

Jian Yuncheng had asked Mo Shiyun’s father to come and cause trouble at Shenghua High. Her father had wasted his days on gambling and drinking. He led a life of dissipation. Mo Shiyun was probably incredibly embarrassed by now.

Yu Xi didn’t know what Mo Shiyun had done to provoke Jian Yuncheng.

“How do you know that he had posted it?”

“I recognize the account of the person who created the thread. He was Jian Yuncheng’s classmate. His name is Huo Yu. He’s a genius when it comes to computers. Back in the days, he was quite well known. After Huo Yu graduated from university, he went overseas with Jian Yuncheng to create their own company. It’s hard for me to not know who it is if he openly created the thread using his own account.”

However, when it came to these things, there was indeed no point to use someone else’s account.

“Hmm… I guess I showed him the photos too late.”

Before he had even seen the photos, Jian Yuncheng had already taken action and shown no mercy to Mo Shiyun.

As usual, Grandma Jian came to pick Jian Yiling up from school.

As soon as Jian Yiling got into the car, Grandma Jian smiled and said that there was ‘good news’ to tell her.

“Darling, your eldest cousin is coming over to stay with us for a few days. It’ll be quite lively.”

From the way Grandma Jian spoke, it appeared as though she was in quite a good mood.

Although Grandma Jian had many children and grandchildren, she rarely had the chance to see them. Naturally, she was happy to have the younger generation over to stay at the Old Jian Residence.

Grandma Jian continued to chat with Jian Yiling, “He’s probably sick of your Aunt He Yan. I feel as though he came here to avoid her for a while. Your second aunt is a bit too stubborn. She just wants her children to inherit the company. She was furious with Yumin when he decided to go into the entertainment industry. As of now, their relationship is still bad…”

“Mhmm.”

This was something that Jian Yiling knew about.

However, she didn’t know that Jian Yumin would come to stay at the Old Jian Residence during this period of time. She hadn’t expected to meet him.

When Jian Yiling got back home, she went up the stairs. She realized that his room was right next to hers.

As she passed by his room, she heard the sound of a guitar from his room. She guessed that he was probably practicing or composing a piece of music.

The song was quite nice. She stopped to listen for a while.

However, just at that moment, the music in the room stopped and the door suddenly opened…
