“And you have the nerve to say that? Do you not know your own capabilities? Why are you still trying to cause her trouble?! Do you think you’re super good or something? In fact, if you were good, then you wouldn’t have failed in every subject!”

Qiu Liyao looked at his daughter in distaste. He wondered if anything had gone wrong during his daughter’s birth. Why was she like this?

“Don’t talk about my grades! Jian Yiling has also failed a bunch of her exams! Why are you only questioning me about this?”

“Okay, fine. You’re still stubborn, aren’t you? Let’s wait and see if you’re still stubborn when Master Sheng comes over later. I’m telling you, if you want to die early, go and die by yourself! Don’t get me involved in this mess!”

Speaking of the devil, Zhai Yunsheng had just arrived.

Jian Yiling had also arrived alongside him.

As soon as Qiu Yiyao saw Master Sheng, he immediately smiled courteously.

“Master Sheng, you didn’t have to make this trip. If my disgrace of a daughter upset you, I would have just sent her over to you. I wouldn’t want to trouble you with coming all the way here!”

However, Zhai Yunsheng ignored him completely. Instead, he walked straight towards Qiu Yizhen.

Upon seeing his actions, the original four people in the room became incredibly anxious.

Qiu Yizhen had been honest with her words. This was the first time that she had met Zhai Yunsheng.

However, she hadn’t expected Master Sheng to be incredibly attractive.

Somehow, at the same time, he also had a disrespectful and arrogant attitude.

Some time ago, Qiu Yizhen had been looking forward to meeting this Master Sheng from the capital.

But she had never imagined their first meeting to be like this.

However, Zhai Yunsheng merely sat down on the sofa. He didn’t say anything.

The only thing that he needed to do was to sit there. Today, his role was to be intimidating.

“Master… Master Sheng…” Qiu Yizhen stuttered. She didn’t know what to say. Just looking at Zhai Yunsheng made her feel incredibly afraid.

However, Zhai Yunsheng completely ignored her. Instead, he just sat there. He looked at Qiu Yizhen and her two lackeys with a cryptic smile.

Then, Jian Yiling walked straight up to Qiu Yizhen.

“Jian Yiling, what are you doing?”

Usually, Qiu Yizhen wasn’t afraid of Jian Yiling. However, the situation today was completely different. She had come along with Zhai Yunsheng.

Qiu Yizhen felt incredibly helpless.

How did Jian Yiling become associated with someone like Master Sheng?! How did she get Master Sheng to come over here to back her up?

However, Qiu Yizhen had forgotten that even without Zhai Yunsheng’s help, Jian Yiling could still deal with her.

“You broke your promise. The video will be publicized,” Jian Yiling said to Qiu Yizhen.

Jian Yiling wondered if Qiu Yizhen had forgotten that she had information against her.

It seemed as though the short frame of peaceful time had caused Qiu Yizhen to forget her promise. She had forgotten what Jian Yiling looked like when she had her claws out.

Qiu Yizhen paused for a moment.

On the side, Qiu Liyao asked, “What video? Qiu Yizhen, what have you done?!”

The last video had been posted with pixelation. Furthermore, it had been taken down very quickly.

As a result, Qiu Liyao didn’t know that Jian Yiling was the person who posted the video.

Qiu Yizhen began to panic, “Jian Yiling, don’t do anything stupid! You promised me! You said that you wouldn’t post the video if I didn’t mess with you again!”

“However, you did.”

“I didn’t do anything! What evidence do you have?! I was just at home playing my video games and minding my own business! Suddenly, you guys come knocking on my door!”

Qiu Yizhen desperately tried to justify her actions.

“Offer on the dark web, thugs, Hu Jiaojiao,” Jian Yiling said in three simple phrases. She was telling her clearly that she knew everything that Qiu Yizhen had done.

Qiu Yizhen’s eyes grew as wide as saucers.
