From Sidekick to Bigshot

Ji Ming smiled before saying, "Qiu Yizhen, that's not fair of you. You're friends with such a beautiful girl and you don't introduce her to us? You must treat us to food next time! Along with the penalty of drinking three cups of alcohol!"

Ji Ming came closer to Qiu Yizhen to make fun of her.

"Go away! I'm not in a good mood!" Qiu Yizhen growled back. She was quite irritated.

"What's the matter? Who did something to you? Who dares to provoke Sister Qiu? Did they live too long?"

"A little brat!"

"Hm? Did someone actually offend you? Why didn't you tear her apart?"

"Don't even mention it! That brat blackmail me!"

The more Qiu Yizhen thought of the blackmail that Jian Yiling held, the more upset she was.

And because of that incident, she got a whole month's allowance taken away.

If it weren't for her coming to the Yu Residence today, she wouldn't get a single penny this month! However, her father wanted her to have the opportunity to speak to Master Sheng. As a result, he gave her half her usual allowance for the month."

"For real? Someone actually got the better of you?" Ji Ming looked quite amused.

"If you're here to laugh at me, get lost."

"No no no, I didn't mean that. We've known each other for so long. Do I seem like that type of person? Tell me who that person is. If you can't deal with them, I'll do it."

"For real?" Qiu Yizhen's eyes lit up when she heard Ji Ming say that.

"When have I not lived up to my words?"

"Okay. The brat is the only daughter of the Jian family. Jian Yiling. The one who thinks everyone is beneath her."

"You mean that girl?"

Ji Ming knew of Jian Yiling. Once, he had seen Jian Yiling at a banquet. She had immediately attracted his attention.

She was incredibly eye-catching and attractive.

And thus, he went to talk to her.

However, Miss Yiling had quite a bad temper. She completely ignored him and told him to get lost.

She had an incredibly arrogant look on her face. It was as though she thought she was a princess or something!

"Who else?" Whenever Qiu Yizhen thought about Jian Yiling, it felt as though there was a ball of fire in her heart. "She injured Jian Yunnao and she's not even ashamed! It's disgusting!"

"She injured Jian Yunnao? Isn't that her brother?"

The incident had only spread in Shenghua High School. The number one secondary school in Hengyuan City hadn't heard of the news yet.

"Yes! It's especially bad because it's her brother! How unlucky is Jian Yunnao! To have such a cruel sister. How can she hurt her own family?!" Qiu Yizhen ranted. She was angry on Jian Yunnao's behalf.

"Tsk tsk." Ji Ming sighed in response.

###

Jian Yiling actually fell asleep at the Yu Residence.

The attic was surrounded by roses. The outer walls were covered by the vines of the roses.

The fragrance of the flowers floated through the window.

Under the faint floral fragrance, Jian Yiling napped.

When she woke up, the party had already started. However, the noise of the party didn't reach the room.

As she thought that Jian Yujie might have already arrived, she hurriedly set off to the lobby.

There were many people gathered in the main lobby at this time.

Jian Yiling attempted to search for Jian Yujie in the crowd.

When Jian Yiling was focused on finding Jian Yujie, suddenly someone stepped on her foot. The footprint left a mark on her white sneakers.

"Oh! I didn't pay attention!" Ji Ming said with a smile on his face. It didn't appear that he looked apologetic at all.

Ji Ming had done it on purpose. After he had finished talking to Qiu Yizhen, he had seen Jian Yiling.

Since Ji Ming had promised to help Qiu Yizhen, he couldn't miss an opportunity like today.

As Qiu Yizhen was afraid of the blackmail that Jian Yiling had, she pulled Mo Shiyun away in advance. She asked Ji Ming to deal with Jian Yiling by himself.
