《The Eldest Daughter was Reborn》 CH 1.1 The man¡¯s hand reached under the faucet and the clear tap water came out. The fingers of both hands are slender, the knuckles are strong, and the protruding joints of the wrists have a different kind of exquisiteness. After washing away the hand soap, he took a piece of paper towel to dry his hands, and then he opened the door. In an instant, there was a loud sound of music, a man and a woman were singing affectionately, and the others were booing, drinking, and throwing dice. It¡¯s just that the two people singing were tone deaf and they went off the beat. The young man leaned against the bathroom door, lowered his head and lit a cigarette. Looking up, the neon lights in the private room were shining, and the straight bridge of his nose cast shadows on his cheeks. He was wearing a white shirt in the black suit without a tie, but with two buttons opened. He had a slender neck and a sexy Adam¡¯s apple. ¡°Yue Song!¡± When the people saw him come out, they beckoned and called him, ¡°Come on, continue to drink.¡± Yue Song had a cigarette between his fingers and drank a few more glasses. Looking at the watch, it has already passed 12 midnight. He stopped the person who was pouring him wine, ¡°I have a meeting in three hours, so I have to go first.¡± His friends were dissatisfied: ¡°It¡¯s midnight now.¡± Yue Song raised his chin: ¡°My video conference is with country M, it¡¯s afternoon over there.¡± ¡°F*ck, boring!¡± His friend laughed and cursed, ¡°You¡¯re such a workaholic.¡± Yue Song smiled, pinched out the cigarette, and informed everyone: ¡°I¡¯m leaving now.¡± He left the private room, closed the soundproof door, and his ears suddenly felt much better. Jinding KTV is a well-known entertainment club in K City. He and his friends often visit here. The waiter in the corridor knows him. With a professional smile, he leaned forward and bowed to make way for him: ¡°Young Master Yue.¡± Yue Song nodded casually, put one hand in his trouser pocket, and took out a cellphone with his other hand, ready to call his driver. It¡¯s just that he hasn¡¯t dialed the number yet, when the soundproof door of a private room next to him opened without a warning. Someone almost jumped out and grabbed Yue Song¡¯s arm! Yue Song looked surprised, but saw a face with a heavy makeup and her hair was dyed in a unorthodox color. Those eyes are too big. If you remove the overly thick mascara and eyeshadow, this should be a pair of big and beautiful eyes. It¡¯s just that the eyeshadow is too heavy and the mascara is too thick, and the makeup effect is too exaggerated, as if the eyes take up one-third area of ??the face. ¡°Don¡¯t let her run out!¡± Yue Song heard someone shout in the room. The voice was slightly flustered. At the same time, someone had hugged the girl¡¯s waist behind him, and dragged her back. The girl¡¯s hand that caught Yue Song¡¯s arm was weak, so she was easily dragged. Her hand slid along Yue Song¡¯s arm all the way to his wrist, and then to his hand, and finally separated from his fingertips. In fact, it only takes two or three seconds from grabbing to detachment. The girl was dragged in, and the soundproof door was closed immediately. No matter what was inside or what was happening, they were all locked in that door, which had nothing to do with Yue Song. But Yue Song believed what he saw. In that two- or three-second short time just now, the girl who was dragged back and seemed unable to speak, her lips that were smeared close to dark brown and black were moving, her mouth shape was very clear ¡ª ¡®help me!¡¯ Yue Song turned to call the waiter, but the waiter just disappeared in the corner. Yue Song turned his head, stared at the door for a second, and suddenly pushed the door open. Even if she didn¡¯t look like a good girl, he couldn¡¯t ignore it anyway when he saw her asking for help. The people in the room didn¡¯t expect that someone would come in all of a sudden. The person who was sober was startled, stood up, and shouted, ¡°What are you doing? Who are you?¡± There were several people lying on the sofa, unconscious and delirious. As soon as Yue Song saw it, he already knew what¡¯s going on in his heart. But he doesn¡¯t care about these people, he only cares about the girl who just asked him for help. The girl was placed on the sofa, weak, and obviously about to lose consciousness. He walked towards her and turned her over, opened her eyelids and looked at her pupils, frowning. ¡°F*ck your mother! I can¡¯t hear anyone!¡± A non-mainstream young man with a lot of tattoos came over and pushed him. Yue Song grabbed the man¡¯s wrist quickly, frowned and said, ¡°She is in a very bad condition, so she must be sent to the hospital!¡± Someone rushed over again and threw him a fist: ¡°Go to your uncle¡¯s hospital!¡± The waiter delivered the drinks into another private room. When he passed by room 628, he was almost hit by the door that suddenly opened. It scared him as if his spirit got stuck to the wall. It was a non-mainstream youth with yellow hair who hit the door. He fell to the ground and groaned, unable to get up. He was obviously thrown out. Immediately afterwards, another tattooed youth was thrown out, rolled on the floor twice, and stopped after hitting the foot of the wall. ¡®F*ck! Are they fighting?¡¯ The waiter was about to call the security, but someone came out again. The young man not only has blood on the corners of his mouth, but his suit and shirt were also messed up. He was holding a girl who seemed to be unconscious in his arms. The waiter was surprised when he saw this man: ¡°Young Master Yue?¡± ¡°Call the police, someone took drugs here.¡± Yue Song said in a deep voice, ¡°Also, hurry up and call an ambulance! This girl is dying!¡± ¡­¡­ CH 1.2 In the ambulance, the light was not bright. The girl opened her eyes and the eyes that were supposed to be beautiful, but were smeared too much, were full of fear and regret. She kept holding Yue Song¡¯s hand. That strength was not great, but Yue Song couldn¡¯t bear to break free. Looking closely, you can actually see that under the heavy makeup, there is a very young face. Her facial features are very beautiful. If she removes her makeup, she would turn out to be a beautiful girl. Yue Song is sure that she didn¡¯t take the initiative to take drugs. If she took the initiative, she won¡¯t run out to ask for help. It¡¯s just a wrong step after all. Seeing the fear and regret in her eyes, Yue Song¡¯s heart softened. He held her hand and comforted gently: ¡°Don¡¯t be afraid, we will be at the hospital soon, so you will be fine.¡± There seemed to be gratitude in the girl¡¯s eyes, her lips seemed to move, but eventually she lost consciousness¡­ Yue Song wasted a lot of time and missed the video conference with the client from Country M; but at the end, he still failed to save the girl¡¯s life. He accompanied her through the last journey of her life, watching with his own eyes the flower-like life withered prematurely. The police came, took his statement, and found out her identity. ¡ª- Zhang Yansheng, female, 21 years old, single. At a young age, she made mistakes and ruined her life. ¡°It should be the first time for her.¡± The policeman said, ¡°Her physique is sensitive to the drugs, but unfortunately she is still so young. Her family seems to be quite rich.¡± Yue Song said: ¡°She didn¡¯t take the initiative.¡± ¡°We¡¯re still investigating it, the group of people were brought to the station, and the result has not been given yet. Why did you say that? Do you have any evidence?¡± ¡°No.¡± Yue Song said, ¡°I can feel it.¡± Then, he went to see the girl for the last time. The nurse had wiped her face clean. She was a very beautiful girl, she was still so young, but he didn¡¯t know why she mingled with those people who killed her in vain. Yue Song felt sorry for her. He bowed, stroked her forehead gently, and whispered softly: ¡°May you take the right path in your next life.¡± ¡­¡­ ¡­¡­ She often walks by the river, so how can she not wet her shoes? Zhang Yansheng has been rebellious all her life; but in the end, she wanted to turn her life over. She always feels that she can control the situation. Those groups of scoundrels secretly led her astray. She followed them and did those bad things, like smoking and drinking. They wanted her to take drugs, but she pulled back. There is a thread in her heart, so she knows that there¡¯s a bottom line that cannot be crossed. But she didn¡¯t expect that these people were much darker than she thought, as they put the drugs in her drink. It¡¯s just that no one thought that Zhang Yansheng has a physique sensitive to this kind of thing, and that the drink with ¡®drugs¡¯ would kill her. What Zhang Yansheng remembers at the last moment of her life is a handsome face. The pupils of his eyes are dark and the bridge of his nose is straight. There was a little blood splattered on his white shirt, making the line of his jaw look strange and sexy. But that person is unexpectedly gentle. In the last part of her life, when she was the most fearful and weak, he kept holding her hand and comforting her gently. But after all, she fell into the dark. It¡¯s as if there¡¯s a terrible whirlpool in the cold darkness, and it¡¯s getting deeper and deeper. Many pictures floated before her eyes ¡ª She saw herself dead and she died disgracefully. Not many people are sad for her. Her father just sighed, shed two tears, and asked his secretary to contact the funeral home: ¡°Give her a decent funeral.¡± ¡®Decent¡¯ means to spend more money, which is what his father has always given her and that is money. The young stepmother pretended to say a few words of comfort in front of others, but the corners of her mouth tilted where others could not see. Without her, the eldest daughter, competing for the family properties and irritating her, she was of course happy. The younger brother, a little devil, was so accustomed to it that he would not behave for a long time, and he just ¡®snorted¡¯ from his nose at the death of her sister. To Zhang Yansheng¡¯s surprise, at the time of the funeral, someone really cried for her sadly. It¡¯s her stepmother¡¯s daughter. This younger sister has longed to be close to her as a sister since she was a child. It¡¯s just that Zhang Yansheng hates her, so how could she take care of her. Unexpectedly, the one who cried sadly for her in the end was the only sister in the family. Zhang Yansheng felt that her life was too worthless. She has been rebellious because of her annoying stepmother, smoking and drinking, not going to school, fooling around with a group of so-called friends and scumbags, and finally ended up being dead. As a result, it was indeed sorrowful. Zhang Yansheng regretted it very much. If she was given another chance, she would never live like this again. How can I ruin my life for someone I hate?! Just when she thought of it and felt remorse, she heard a voice coming from a distance, as if separated from time and space. ¡ª ¡°May you take the right path in your next life.¡± With this blessing, light broke through the darkness! Zhang Yansheng opened her eyes in the light and went back to six years ago. At this time, she was only 15 years old and had just begun to rebel. Lifting a little foot, she will embark on the wrong path of life from now on. Bah! Never! In this life, no one should think of ruining her life. CH 2.1 Enchantress | December 12, 2021 Zhang Yansheng saw the light in the darkness of death, opened her eyes, and she turned out to be in her own bedroom. She has been fooling around outside for the past year or two and has never returned to live here much. Moreover, the decoration and arrangement of this room are clearly what it looked like when she was in the middle school, totally different from how it was. Zhang Yansheng ran to the bathroom to look in the mirror, and found that her body shrank and became shorter and flatter. She has a clean face, which shows a teenage appearance. After taking a glance at the date on the old mobile phone from many years ago and unwillingly turned on the computer that was obsolete in the memory a few years ago to look at the date on it, Zhang Yansheng was finally convinced that she had been reborn after death and returned to the year when she was in the third year of middle school at the age of 15. Zhang Yansheng sat on the sofa in the room for two full hours to digest this information. So, she¡­ got a chance to start over again? Is that right? She suddenly remembered the ethereal voice in the ultimate darkness ¡ª may you take the right path in your next life. Zhang Yansheng got excited and suddenly stood up from the sofa! Yes, this new life can no longer be as messy as it was in her previous life. She didn¡¯t realize until she died that this is her own life. How stupid it is to compete with others and ruin yourself! So now, what¡¯s going on? What should she do at this time? Zhang Yansheng turned around twice, looked around, and saw her familiar desk. She hurriedly walked over to take a look. The desk was neatly cleaned by the aunt1 at home. Zhang Yansheng randomly pulled out a workbook for the third year of middle school. She opened her eyes and felt the sweat on her forehead! Not even one question! Not! Even! One! Question! What she learned back then has been returned back to the teacher! When she died, she had not graduated yet from the diploma mill2 where she could go to study by paying some money. In fact, she didn¡¯t go to class that much at all. It was just a mess. And now, it¡¯s only in mid-July, the summer vacation after the third year of middle school graduation. In other words, in one month, she will go to high school. She is going to Yi High School in K City. This is a very good school which is in the top position of the pyramid in K City. She didn¡¯t know how much her father had spent in the last life before he got her in this school. It¡¯s a pity that her academic performance plummeted in high school. Later, she gave up on her own and started skipping school and even smoking, drinking, and fighting. The impact was so bad that spending money would not absolved it, and she was expelled from this school in the end. Her father couldn¡¯t help but enrolled her to a private high school to mess around. After graduation, he sent her to that bogus college for her to get a diploma. Otherwise, it would be too embarrassing to say that you only have a high school degree. A lifetime of youth and being young, it was so absurd to be wasted. It was really useless. When Zhang Yansheng thought of this, her heart felt uncomfortable and her sweat broke out. She can¡¯t be like this anymore! Starting from the beginning of this life, from now on, she must take a different path! Zhang Yansheng¡¯s mind is clear. No matter what happened to her when she was reborn, there is only one thing she should do at this time ¡ª study hard and make progress every day! Zhang Yansheng took a few breaths to calm herself down. She rummaged over the desk and found her school bag, but the other books were only for the third year in middle school. Her mind is basically empty right now, and there is no need to make up for middle school. But from the beginning of first year in high school, she has to make up for it. Otherwise, in high school, there is no need to ¡°freefall¡±, as she will directly be in the bottom. Zhang Yan murmured as she couldn¡¯t remember where she put her textbooks for the first and second year of middle school. As there was no clue, someone knocked on the door: ¡°Yanyan, Yanyan, Master asked me to rush you. It¡¯s time to clean up, we¡¯re going to leave soon.¡± Zhang Yansheng was stunned. She paused, then suddenly rushed over to open the door. There was a middle-aged woman standing outside the door. She is very old and when she looks at her black hair, it¡¯s actually all dyed. She can tell from the roots of her hair that it¡¯s all white. Zhang Yansheng¡¯s eyes suddenly turned red, and she shouted ¡°Aunt!¡± with mixed feelings. The woman sighed: ¡°Why haven¡¯t you changed your clothes yet? Hurry up, Madam has almost finished with her makeup over there, so it¡¯s not good for them to wait for you.¡± She lowered her voice and said: ¡°Otherwise, she will complain to her husband again.¡± The woman¡¯s surname is Luo. She has been Zhang Yansheng¡¯s babysitter since she was born and until she grew up. She has been in the Zhang family for more than 10 years. She has been with Zhang Yansheng¡¯s biological mother for more than 10 years and is very affectionate, and she treats Zhang Yansheng like her biological child. The woman surnamed Liang actually kept looking at Aunt Luo after entering the family, she had wanted to fire Aunt Luo for several times now. However, Zhang Yansheng was always making it difficult and Zhang Huan, her father, was suppressed, so Aunt Luo stayed. Unexpectedly, Aunt Luo survived the troubles of the second wife, but was saddened by Zhang Yansheng. Zhang Yansheng later became more and more disrespectful, and even Zhang Huan didn¡¯t care much about her. He¡¯ll just provide if she asked for money, but he won¡¯t ask for anything except for peace. Zhang Yansheng¡¯s stepmother, Liang Yingying, was even more anxious to mingle with Zhang Yansheng, stirring up troubles. The only person in this family who really cares about Zhang Yansheng and is willing to take care of her is Aunt Luo. CH 2.2 Zhang Yansheng¡¯s personality was really hateful at that time. She was hot-tempered, she doesn¡¯t listen like she did when she was a child. Aunt Luo took care of her several times, but she wouldn¡¯t listen and finally got annoyed. Then, she lost her temper and said, ¡°You are just a nanny, earning from my money!¡± She lost her temper, slammed the door, and left. After going out, she actually regretted it a little bit. She somehow felt that her words were too heavy and Aunt Luo¡¯s eyes seemed a little hurt at that time. But at her age, she can¡¯t drag herself to apologize. After a week of fooling around and not going home, when she finally remembered to go home, she found out that Aunt Luo¡¯s room was empty. Liang Yingying smiled and said: ¡°I didn¡¯t drive her away. She thinks that she can¡¯t serve the eldest lady, so she resigned.¡± Zhang Yansheng was about to tear up Liang Yingying at that time but Zhang Huan stopped her: ¡°Aunt Luo really quit her job. Her family called her many times asking her to return home for her grandson. It was because of you that she never left. Now, she was finally convinced and that¡¯s it.¡± Zhang Yansheng couldn¡¯t relax at that time and was alone on her own for several days. That was yet another feeling of being abandoned since her mother¡¯s death and after Zhang Huan remarried. Several days had passed before she decided to call Aunt Luo, but her number is no longer available. At that time, there were roaming fees. Aunt Luo¡¯s number was from K City. If she returned to her hometown, she might have changed it to a local number. Although Zhang Yansheng has lived with her for many years, she doesn¡¯t know any more information about Aunt Luo apart from her phone number. In the boundless sea of people, her relationship with Aunt Luo¡¯s has ended. And now, at this moment, she has not broken Aunt Luo¡¯s heart yet. Aunt Luo has not resigned and left yet, she is still in the Zhang¡¯s house! Zhang Yan¡¯s nose was twitching and her tears almost fell. Then, she hugged her directly: ¡°Aunt Luo!¡± ¡°Okay, okay, I know you don¡¯t want to go out with her, but this is your granny¡¯s1 birthday banquet. If you don¡¯t go, your granny will be angry for sure. You know, you are the last person to lose face in front of your granny. Aunt Luo patted her back, coaxing her like a child, ¡°Go, go, change to a beautiful dress. Our Yanyan is the most beautiful little princess wherever you go.¡± Granny¡¯s birthday banquet? After Aunt Luo had said it, Zhang Yansheng remembered that according to the date on the calendar, it was really today. Zhang Yansheng had already made up her mind before seeing Aunt Luo, that she must be well-behaved in this new life and will never be like her previous life. At this age, she must do what she was supposed to do at this age. ¡°Okay, I¡¯ll change my clothes now.¡± Then she asked, ¡°Aunt Luo, do you know where I put all my textbooks for the first and second year? I have to review what I have learned from middle school before the school starts.¡± Aunt Luo was surprised and delighted, and said: ¡°I know, I know, in the storage room, I will find them for you. So, don¡¯t worry and just go to the birthday banquet.¡± She pushed Zhang Yansheng to the cloakroom to change clothes. Zhang Yansheng heard her muttering outside: ¡°How good your grades were when you were in elementary school. You often bring awards when you go home and were always praised during the parent-teacher meetings. How happy your mother was back then; the whole family was so proud of you¡­¡± Zhang Yansheng¡¯s mother had cancer. After the operation, she had been doing radiotherapy and chemotherapy for several years. This kind of treatment can make people very weak, and her mother can neither manage business matters nor family matters. She lay down all day, and her happiest moments were whenever Zhang Yansheng came home with some awards. But she died when Zhang Yansheng was 10 years old. Only two months after her funeral, Liang Yingying entered the family with a marriage certificate. She was not alone, she was holding Zhang Shoucheng in her arms, two years old, and behind her was Zhang Heling, four years old. In other words, Zhang Heling was born two years after Zhang Yansheng¡¯s mother had surgery! All these years, when Zhang Yansheng¡¯s mother was lying on the bed, this woman must be looking forward to her death every day so that she can turn herself around, right? Zhang Yansheng exploded at that time! The little girl was exhausted from shouting at them! In her anger, she pushed Zhang Heling down. Liang Yingying was only taking care of the baby son in her arms, so she couldn¡¯t care about her daughter. It was Aunt Luo who pulled Zhang Yansheng, while Zhang Huan blocked Zhang Heling from her. After all, the three of them had established their positions in the house already and no one could stop them, not even Zhang Yansheng, who was only 10 years old at that time. From then on, Zhang Yansheng¡¯s life can no longer return to its former days. When she graduated from elementary school, her grades were not bad; after all, she had good grades for many years. But in her three years in middle school, her grades were just ¡®okay¡¯. The good daughter and good student who made the mother in bed so proud, gradually disappeared. Most of the girl¡¯s energy was spent on arguing and fighting with her stepmother, and her mind was spent on bearing disgust and hatred. Zhang Yansheng changed her clothes silently, these memories flooded in her mind. If her deceased mother knew what she had become afterwards, she would definitely be as sad as Aunt Luo, right? Zhang Yansheng felt a sour sensation rushing from her nose straight to her eyes. She forcibly held it back. She was able to do so and walked out of the cloakroom: ¡°I have changed.¡± ¡°Yanyan is so beautiful.¡± Aunt Luo exclaimed when she saw her, ¡°Yanyan had really grown up. You were pretty when you were young and had grown up to be a great beauty as well.¡± Although the 15-year-old girl has not yet developed her chest and hips, she is already slender and elegant. Her eyes are bright and not dry, and her cheeks are fair and tender. She was born like her mother, she is indeed a beauty. Aunt Luo quickly helped get her hair done. Girls at this age don¡¯t need makeup because natural beauty is the best. Aunt Luo looked at the time and quickly pushed her out of the door: ¡°Hurry up, don¡¯t let that person nag you.¡± The so-called ¡®that person¡¯ naturally refers to Liang Yingying. Who knew that the door would open and a stream of cool water rushed over her face, directly spraying Zhang Yansheng¡¯s face and chest, dampening her skirt! Zhang Yansheng wiped her face while staring at the little brat, who was holding a water gun outside the door, showing anger in her eyes. She then remembered that when she went to attend her granny¡¯s birthday banquet on the third day of summer vacation, this little brat ruined her with a water gun¡­ her two skirts. Yes, there were two. CH 3.1 Enchantress | December 12, 2021 Zhang Yansheng wiped her face while staring at the little boy in front of her. She was surprised ¡ª Zhang Shoucheng is so young now? Zhang Shuocheng is seven years old this year, the age when children suddenly become disobedient. He saw that Zhang Yansheng was successfully attacked, so he laughed hard, leaning forward and backward, a typical exaggeration made by a child deliberately. Back then, the 15-year-old Zhang Yansheng chased him downstairs, scolded him loudly, and quarreled with Liang Yingying who was defending him, which delayed their time. When the family arrived at the reception, her granny¡¯s birthday banquet had already begun, so the family was very disrespectful. Her grandma1 had lost her face in front of her sister-in-law and was very upset. Liang Yingying was the wicked person who complained first, saying that it was Zhang Yansheng that wasted everyone¡¯s time and made them late. What was even more hateful is that Zhang Shuocheng took the small water gun and ruined the skirt that Zhang Yansheng later changed onto at the birthday banquet. At that time, Zhang Yansheng only hated Liang Yingying in her eyes. She felt that many witnesses could prove that Zhang Shuocheng was naughty and not that she was wrong. So, she angrily pulled Zhang Shuocheng up to quarrel with her, completely disregarding the occasion. Naturally, it makes her grandma even lose more face. The 15-year-old Zhang Yansheng didn¡¯t realize at that time that her extreme behavior had gradually alienated her relatives who had felt sorry for her. For example, her grandma, her father. At this time, Zhang Yansheng stared at the seven-year-old Zhang Shoucheng, who suddenly laughed. ¡°You¡¯re good.¡± She pretended to be fierce and said, ¡°If you dare to do it again, I will¡­ ask Dad to beat your ass.¡± That is a false statement because the Zhang family basically doesn¡¯t hit their children. Zhang Huan even regards Zhang Shuocheng as a treasure. Therefore, even children like Zhang Shuocheng can see Zhang Yansheng¡¯s ¡®bluff¡¯. The little brat was not afraid of his sister¡¯s bluffing. He pulled his eyelid and stuck out his tongue, who arrogantly provoked her: ¡°L¨¹¨¨ l¨¹¨¨ l¨¹¨¨2, come on!¡± After that, he ran away. ¡°Don¡¯t be angry, don¡¯t be angry, he is a kid.¡± Aunt Luo pulled Zhang Yansheng back into the room, ¡°Don¡¯t bother yourself arguing with the likes of him. How old is he?¡± After Zhang Yansheng entered puberty, her temper became more and more irritable. She had a little fight with a woman surnamed Liang for three days and will have a big fight with her for five days. But she is a half-grown adult, so how can she still fight with Liang Yingying? What¡¯s even more is that Liang Yingying can still blow the pillow wind3 to Zhang Huan, but Zhang Yansheng always yells at Zhang Huan because of her unstable emotions, which gives headache to Zhang Huan whenever he sees her, so he is getting more reluctant to see her. In the end, Zhang Yansheng suffered. Aunt Luo grasped her arm very hard and she understood why. In the past, Aunt Luo has always advised her not to confront Liang Yingying¡¯s head on, because she will just suffer loss for nothing. However, she couldn¡¯t listen and endure it. In the end, the outcome was that her relatives turned away from her, as if she was an outsider in this family, a family of four talented people who love each other. When she was reborn, Zhang Yansheng said to herself that she will not make the same mistakes again. She patted Aunt Luo¡¯s hand and calmly said: ¡°It¡¯s okay, this little brat, I won¡¯t bother anymore.¡± Aunt Luo was relieved, so she let go of her arm and pushed her into the cloakroom: ¡°That¡¯s it, just ignore him.¡± Zhang Yansheng changed clothes inside while Aunt Luo was waiting for her outside. Then, she heard the girl inside as if she was talking to herself: ¡°However, Zhang Shuocheng has to be supervised, otherwise, I don¡¯t know what kind of rubbish he¡¯ll grow into.¡± Aunt Luo became nervous again: ¡°With his father and mother, how can you control him? You just need to go to school and study well, and give your mother a break.¡± The cloakroom became quiet for a few seconds, then she heard the sound of changing clothes. Faintly, it¡¯s as if a sentence floated out: ¡°There¡¯s a father, there¡¯s no father¡­¡± Aunt Luo did not speak. So what? Although he is Zhang Shuocheng¡¯s father, he is also Zhang Yansheng¡¯s father. Zhang Yansheng changed into a new skirt and walked down the stairs. When she reached the first floor, she stopped and looked at the people below. Hearing the footsteps, Zhang Huan raised his head and frowned, but he still called her as kindly as possible: ¡°Yanyan, hurry up.¡± Zhang Yansheng walked down unhurriedly. Liang Yingying looked at her, ¡°Heh¡±. Zhang Huan pretended not to hear her and asked casually: ¡°What took you so long?¡± Zhang Yansheng glanced at him, feeling inexplicable in her heart. She is noisy, always tossing around, and making trouble. She used to think that Zhang Huan was sorry for her and her mother, so she has the right to be like that. But now that she calmed down, she finally understood after looking at him that all the troubles created by the rebellious children were just to get more attention from their parents. Yes, it is so sad. Now that Zhang Yansheng can see clearly, everything she has done in the past, uncovering the reason behind, ignoring all excuses; in the end, all she wanted is just to make this man look at her more and to care about her more. Finally, what she got was his impatience. When she died, he only shed a few symbolic tears, and then gave her a ¡®decent¡¯ funeral. It is so ridiculous. The rebellious and arrogant Zhang Yansheng with heavy makeup is nothing more than a child who can¡¯t get love. Ridiculous, pathetic. Zhang Huan got inexplicably uncomfortable under the gaze of his daughter, and forced a smile: ¡°What¡¯s the matter, why don¡¯t you speak?¡± He doesn¡¯t know what¡¯s going on with this daughter today. Yesterday, she had a fierce fight with his young wife and her screams pierced his ears. But she is so quiet today and those pitch-black eyes faintly looking at him are like two pools of water with unknown depth. It¡¯s inexplicably disturbing. Zhang Yansheng lowered her eyes. She didn¡¯t notice it in the past that her longing for love and care had disappeared. In this life, she will not ask for anything, not from the outside, but from the inside. She has to live well all by herself. CH 3.2 Enchantress | December 12, 2021 The family¡¯s grumpy eldest daughter raised her eyes. Her voice was surprisingly calm, serene, and sounded ordinary when she explained: ¡°As soon as I went out after changing my clothes, Zhang Shuocheng used a water gun to drench me, so I had to change my clothes again which wasted my time.¡± The calm and coldness of the girl surprised Zhang Huan. Zhang Shuocheng is now at the age of seven or eight in which everyone will be disgusted. This kind of mess is happening at home almost every day, especially now that it is summer vacation and the children are at home. It¡¯s just that when this kind of thing happens in normal times, Zhang Yansheng would have yelled already. But today¡­ today, his daughter is surprisingly calm and sensible. It would be great if she could speak so well in ordinary times! Who wouldn¡¯t be annoyed by the disturbing noise every day?! Zhang Huan straightened his face immediately: ¡°Shuoshuo! Did you get your sister¡¯s skirt wet?¡± Zhang Shuocheng promptly said, ¡°I did not!¡± Of course, everyone in the house knows that he is lying. The small water gun in the shape of a pistol is still in his hand! He had indeed just run down from the stairs. The second daughter, Zhang Heling, said, ¡°It¡¯s him. He told mother just now that he sprayed water on eldest sister.¡± Liang Yingying was almost mad at this stupid daughter who betrayed her, so she immediately pinched her arm: ¡°Shut up, no one will treat you as dumb if you don¡¯t speak.¡± As the mother and daughter argued, Zhang Yansheng¡¯s sight fell on Zhang Heling. Zhang Heling is six years younger than Zhang Yansheng and only nine years old this year. She only got her new teeth last year and finally looked beautiful again this year. She looks like a cute little lolita who is ignorant. It is a pity that Liang Yingying gave birth to her and failed her to enter the Zhang family¡¯s door. It was not until the birth of Zhang Shuocheng and Zhang Yansheng¡¯s mother¡¯s death that she was finally promoted. The mother¡¯s son is precious, so Liang Yingying only has Zhang Shuocheng in her heart. As for Zhang Heling¡­ anyway, there are several aunts in the house and there¡¯s no shortage for food or clothes. Liang Yingying didn¡¯t care much about her. But after she died, Zhang Heling is the only one who really wept for her. That young girl cried so sadly which means that she really sees her as a sister, right? Liang Yingying is often annoyed by this stupid daughter. This stupid girl often can¡¯t distinguish between her and the enemy. She always betrays her and helps Zhang Yansheng to speak. After she finished pinching her arm, she reached out to twist Zhang Heling¡¯s ear, who is still puzzled by her hatred. Zhang Huan does not approve of beating children. When Zhang Yansheng¡¯s mother was still there, she had never beaten Zhang Yansheng. Liang Yingying was reluctant to hit Zhang Shuocheng, but she often tugged and pinched Zhang Heling. Although it was not a hit, it was still very uncomfortable to see. Zhang Huan was about to scold Liang Yingying, but Zhang Yansheng suddenly stretched out her hand and grasped Liang Yingying¡¯s wrist. Zhang Huan secretly cried out. We are about to go out, so don¡¯t quarrel again. Ugh! ¡°Let go.¡± Instead of yelling, Zhang Yansheng said coldly, ¡°There¡¯s a cartilage in the ear, what would you do if you sprained it? Don¡¯t you feel bad for your own children?¡± When Zhang Yansheng¡¯s mother was still alive, Zhang Yansheng learned the four arts: piano, chess, painting, and calligraphy; including Taekwondo and Sanda. Later on, this was what happened, Zhang Huan gradually ignored her, so she became more and more hostile. The piano, chess, painting, and calligraphy were all abandoned, but she still practiced Taekwondo and Sanda. If she didn¡¯t do some intense exercise, the rage in her heart will not disperse. Going back now, Zhang Yansheng is only 15 years old, but because of her persistent training all year round, her strength actually overwhelmed the delicate and soft Liang Yingying. Liang Yingying screamed: ¡°It hurts!¡± Zhang Yansheng snorted coldly: ¡°You know that it hurts, but the kids don¡¯t know it?¡± Liang Yingying has loosened Zhang Heling¡¯s ears, calling out: ¡°Let go! Husband! Husband! She¡¯s hurting me!¡± The daughter is his own child and the wife is delicate, both have equal value. Zhang Huan came out and said, ¡°Okay, okay, release her. Let¡¯s go now. If we¡¯re late, mother will get mad and everyone will be scolded together. No one will escape!¡± When he mentioned Zhang Yansheng¡¯s grandma, even Zhang Shuocheng shivered. That amazing old lady is the real head of the Zhang family. The only one who is not afraid of her is probably Zhang Yansheng. What¡¯s so scary about people who don¡¯t love themselves or even hate themselves? The old lady once said sternly that she would be removed from the list of will and she didn¡¯t care. She still has her mother¡¯s inheritance to inherit, so she won¡¯t die from starvation. She snorted and just let it go. Zhang Heling got behind Zhang Yansheng when Liang Yingying let go of her ears. She was really surprised and happy today. Normally, even if she helped Zhang Yansheng speak, Zhang Yansheng would not pay attention to her. Unexpectedly today, her sister actually protected her. Her mother always tells her that only her, her younger brother, and her mother are considered family and truly the closest ones; and Zhang Yansheng is just an ¡®outsider¡¯. But her brother is so annoying, he bullies her every day. Her mother didn¡¯t care about her at all and felt that her brother is ¡®lively and active¡¯, which should be praised. ¡°Boys, that¡¯s how they should be.¡± She often said triumphantly. Emphasizing the word ¡®boy¡¯ in particular. After all, she relied on giving birth to a son, which turned her life around. But for Zhang Heling, although her sister usually quarreled with her mother and her temper was terrifying, she usually just ignored her and never bullied her. So, between her younger brother and elder sister, Zhang Heling would rather choose her elder sister, Zhang Yansheng. Everyone went out and Zhang Heling had expectations in her heart, and boldly wanted to hold her sister¡¯s hand. Unfortunately, Zhang Yansheng froze for a moment. Without turning her head, she directly threw off her hand and strode out. The little girl lowered her head in disappointment. ¡°Hurry up.¡± Zhang Yansheng¡¯s voice suddenly sounded. Zhang Heling suddenly raised her head. Zhang Yansheng turned to look at her in front, seemingly impatient: ¡°Hurry up, we will be late if we don¡¯t leave now.¡± There was light in the little girl¡¯s eyes, then she ran after her. Zhang Yansheng snorted, turned around to head outside. CH 4.1 Enchantress | December 12, 2021 Zhang Yansheng can understand Zhang Heling¡¯s emotions. This little girl seemed to always want to be a sister to her since she entered the Zhang¡¯s house, maybe her instinct is to chase her big sister. It¡¯s just that Zhang Yansheng would never pay attention to her before. However, Zhang Yansheng couldn¡¯t understand Zhang Huan¡¯s emotions. She suppressed Liang Yingying just now. Not only did he not speak to his little wife, he also seemed to be ¡­a little happy. What the hell is this? In the past, whenever she was in conflict with Liang Ying Ying, Zhang Huan would always appear to be helpless and restless, and he usually stands on Liang Yingying¡¯s side. Aunt Luo has talked to her before and said: ¡°Don¡¯t be so bad tempered, maybe just a little bit. At first, your dad felt sorry for you, but you are so rowdy and you always yell at him. So, look at him now, he¡¯s speaking for that woman.¡± But at that time, Zhang Yansheng who was listening had lost her temper and said, ¡°Why can¡¯t I get angry with him? He didn¡¯t even feel sorry for my mother!¡± A bitch is worthy of a dog forever!1 Aunt Luo could only sigh. Putting aside Zhang Huan¡¯s incomprehensible emotion, Zhang Yansheng turned her attention to Liang Yingying. Today, because the family of five was going out, but didn¡¯t let the driver drive for them, so Zhang Huan drove the car instead. Liang Yingying was sitting in the co-pilot seat, Zhang Yansheng was sitting behind the driver¡¯s seat, the little brat Zhang Shuocheng was sitting behind the co-pilot seat, and the little lolita Zhang Heling was sandwiched in the middle. From this position, Zhang Yansheng can see Liang Yingying¡¯s side face. Zhang Yansheng actually can¡¯t believe that Liang Yingying is still so young. In her understanding, Liang Yingying looked like an old witch from the moment she appeared in front of her. She was a big mountain on Zhang Yansheng¡¯s head which destroyed her life. But actually, Liang Yingying was only 20 years old when she gave birth to Zhang Heling. She was only 29 this year, so she still hasn¡¯t reached 30 yet. Zhang Yansheng was 21 years old when she died. From the perspective of the reborned Zhang Yansheng, it means that she¡¯s the same age as Liang Yingying, since she¡¯s also considered as less than 30 years old. Zhang Yansheng looked at her, the mountain that pressed her painfully and violently which seemed to be shrinking. Zhang Heling¡¯s voice sounded in the quiet car with disgust: ¡°Why are you still carrying that?¡± Zhang Shuocheng promptly said: ¡°I¡¯m bringing it! Why do you care?!¡± ¡°I am your sister! So, of course I care!¡± ¡°What¡¯s wrong with you, sister?! Go away, it¡¯s none of your business!¡± Zhang Shuocheng is the apple of Liang Yingying¡¯s eyes, so he was used to being arrogant and rude. As he spoke, his voice grew louder. In a closed space, the noise is extraordinarily loud which gives a headache. Zhang Huan couldn¡¯t stand it either and was about to speak to make Zhang Shuocheng be quiet, but Zhang Yansheng¡¯s cold voice suddenly came from behind him: ¡°Shut up.¡± In this kind of situation, Zhang Yansheng would usually yell which became another main force that gave him a headache. But today, this eldest daughter is a little bit abnormal. Zhang Huan couldn¡¯t help but glance at the back from the rearview mirror. As he met Zhang Yansheng¡¯s dark eyes, his eyes fainted. Zhang Huan shuddered inexplicably and quickly concentrated on driving. Zhang Yansheng used to yell at Zhang Shuocheng, but Zhang Shuocheng was not afraid at all. Liang Yingying instilled the thought of ¡®we are a family¡¯ to both her children. Zhang Heling didn¡¯t take it at all, but Zhang Shuocheng absorbed it completely. In his child¡¯s heart, why does this annoying sister exist? She always quarreled with his mother, so it would be nice if they didn¡¯t have her at home! Liang Yingying always tells him not to be afraid of Zhang Yansheng. Although Zhang Yansheng yelled at him, she had never hit him. Little brats always bully the weak and fear the strong, so they are naturally more lawless. But today, it¡¯s very strange that this sister didn¡¯t yell. She just glanced at him coldly and said ¡®shut up¡¯, so Zhang Shuocheng suddenly becomes timid. He always thinks that there¡¯s something different about this sister today. Children are naive, really cruel and callous, and instinctively aware of danger. At this moment, Zhang Shuocheng sensed some danger. He didn¡¯t know that although Zhang Yansheng decided to live a good life in this life, she is a person who had died once. The hostility of her two lifetimes was in her eyes, and even Zhang Huan was scared when he saw it. Zhang Shuocheng glanced in front of him asking for help. But his dad only glanced at his sister in the rearview mirror and said nothing. His mom turned her head and glanced, and she only said to Zhang Heling ¡°Don¡¯t keep arguing with your brother¡±, then turned her head back. Although Liang Yingying spoils Zhang Shuocheng, she is also a human in the end, who can¡¯t stand the headache hearing the loud voices of children in a closed space. Zhang Yansheng did not beat him nor scold him, but just told him to shut up. It seemed to have some effect? Liang Yingying did not back Zhang Shuocheng up. The naughty child who was not supported by the parents will naturally be terrified. Zhang Shuocheng shut up obediently. Zhang Heling was sad. She clearly did nothing wrong, but like every time in the past, it was her who was criticized by Liang Yingying. The little girl lowered her head and nearly broke down in tears. She sniffed, raised her head, and looked at Zhang Yansheng. What does she want from her? To console her? Zhang Yansheng stiffly turned her head to one side, pretending to look at the street view outside the car. A little lonely, Zhang Heling sadly put her hands under her legs, and looked down at her knees in a daze. Psychologically speaking, children who often hide their hands are insecure. The car was as quiet as the adults wanted it to be. Zhang Huan was in a good mood and Liang Yingying was also happy and relaxed. After a long time, Zhang Yansheng turned her head and glanced at what Zhang Shuocheng was holding ¡ª the small water gun that resembled a pistol. Great! Because she was afraid that he would not take it, she deliberately provoked him by saying ¡°I¡¯ll have Dad beat you¡±. Sure enough, he took this water gun as he did in her previous life. CH 4.2 Enchantress | December 12, 2021 The family came out in time and the traffic conditions were good. They didn¡¯t arrive late, so there was no disrespect. It was her aunt and cousins who welcomed the guests at the entrance of the banquet hall. Zhang Huan walked over with Zhang Yansheng and his family to exchange greetings with these cousins, and everyone was affectionate. Liang Yingying, the mistress who relied on her son to take the spot of the main wife, likes to attend such public and formal occasions with Zhang Huan to show her identity as Mrs. Zhang. Zhang Yansheng and Zhang Heling were called in, and the elders kindly agreed, boasting that they have grown up and became beautiful. Only Zhang Shuocheng stayed at the door impatiently and wanted to rush in. Liang Yingying pulled him hard without letting go. He twisted left and right, but Zhang Huan¡¯s face was stern: ¡°Shuoshuo, greet them!¡± Zhang Shuocheng greeted the others unwillingly. Their aunt and cousins just smiled and said: ¡°It¡¯s so lively, really a tiger.¡± Zhang Huan smiled awkwardly. Taking care of children is hard work, and parents must have enough patience. Zhang Huan used to be patient with Zhang Yansheng. In fact, when she was young, Zhang Yansheng¡¯s mother was in charge of her. Later, when his first wife became sick, the eldest daughter was well-behaved and carefree, so he didn¡¯t need to worry about her at all. When Zhang Shuocheng was born, he was almost 40 years old which was incomparable to when he was young, and he did not only have one child now, but three. The eldest daughter, Zhang Yansheng, fiercely resisted the new mother and new younger siblings from the beginning. Coupled with the fact that he¡¯s a middle-aged man and he was really used to spoiling him, Zhang Shuocheng has grown into a naughty child now. ¡°Go inside, the eldest aunt has arrived long ago, talking to my mother.¡± Zhang Huan¡¯s cousin said. Zhang Huan took his wife and children and went in to find his mother. Liang Yingying knew who was the hardest to speak to in this family, so she pulled Zhang Shuocheng to warn him quietly: ¡°Behave yourself in front of your grandma. I will lock your game console if you dare to cause trouble! You will not be allowed to play for a week!¡± The boys who are naughty are often not afraid to be hit, but locking up their game consoles and the like won¡¯t be good. Zhang Shuocheng muttered in response. The whole family glamorously came in front of two wealthy, jewel-like old ladies. ¡°Auntie, may you live as long as the Zhongnan Mountains and your fortune be as immense as the East China Sea!¡± Zhang Huan said with a smile and a clasped fist. Although his aunt didn¡¯t like her sister-in-law, she likes her nephew. She said, ¡°Look at Zhang Huan¡¯s sweet mouth!¡± Then, she complained, ¡°What took you so long?!¡± Although it is not too late, it is also not too early. With their close blood relationship, they should have come here sooner. As a nephew, Zhang Huan has only arrived at this time. It is a bit not affectionate and respectful enough. His aunt¡¯s face was a little bit awkward. Zhang Huan said with a smile: ¡°How dare I come here casually, don¡¯t I have to go with my family? Look, are you satisfied or not?¡± Then, he pushed Zhang Yansheng and Zhang Heling forward. Although the weight of the son is heavier in his heart, the naughty child might cause trouble. To please the elderly, he has to rely on his two beautiful daughters. A maiden girl, a soft and cute loli, who wouldn¡¯t like them? His aunt grabbed their hands and exclaimed: ¡°You¡¯ve grown up again, our Yanyan is so beautiful and our Hehe is also beautiful!¡± She liked them very much. Zhang Yansheng smiled sweetly: ¡°Granny is the most beautiful person. Today, you are the most beautiful person here.¡± Her granny is in her 70s, her hair is not messed up, on her ears are rich ruby ??earrings, and she wears matching ruby ??jewelries as well. Although her skin is wrinkled because of her old age, her nails are well-trimmed, painted with the same red color as her lipstick, which go well with the whole set of ruby ??jewelry. This old lady, born from a wealthy family, has always been rich. Being beautiful all her life, she also loves beauty when she grows old. Hearing what her granddaughter said, she was trembling with laughter. Zhang Heling also said: ¡°Granny, I wish you a happy birthday!¡± She has to wait for the beginning of school to get into 4th grade. An elementary school girl can¡¯t speak as well as Zhang Yansheng, and she doesn¡¯t know what her granny loves to listen to, but she is cute and sweet. Granny squeezed her face with joy and said: ¡°There is a children¡¯s area over there, you can go play later.¡± The two beautiful granddaughters saved their faces a bit, and Zhang Yansheng¡¯s grandmother¡¯s complexion was slightly dark. Zhang Yansheng called ¡°Grandma¡± for the first time, Zhang Heling followed and she graciously responded. Liang Yingying did not dare to interrupt, and finally grabbed the gap and pushed Zhang Shuocheng in front of the two elders: ¡°Shuoshuo, greet Granny and Grandma.¡± She also pinched Zhang Shuocheng under his hand. Zhang Shuocheng was in pain, so his expression was not very good and reluctantly yelled ¡°Granny, Grandma¡±. A perspicacious person knows that this is a little trick under the hands of his mother. Granny¡¯s mouth twitched and said lazily: ¡°Okay, go over there with your sisters to play.¡± Zhang Shuocheng¡¯s heart flew when he heard the ¡®children¡¯s area¡¯ just now and got permission. As soon as he twisted his shoulders and broke free from his mother¡¯s clutches, he ran away towards the children¡¯s area. Liang Yingying was angry and hateful, but she didn¡¯t dare to show it in front of the two old ladies, she only dared to smile apologetically. The two wealthy old ladies talked to themselves as if they hadn¡¯t seen her. Liang Yingying wanted to interrupt but couldn¡¯t get in. Zhang Huan has no way in this situation as well and can only force a smile. Zhang Heling seemed to understand, her heart knew that this was bad, but she couldn¡¯t understand exactly why. It¡¯s probably the reason why her sister doesn¡¯t like them. Zhang Yansheng gave a sneer at the corner of her mouth. In fact, she hadn¡¯t seen these two old ladies for two or three years before she died. There is no reason, just because of her unorthodox virtues, so the elders didn¡¯t want to see her. Especially her grandma, who thinks she was an embarrassment, so she told Zhang Huan not to call her for this kind of family gathering in the future. Zhang Yansheng was rebellious at that time and was unwilling to see these relatives, so she was happy to ignore each other. But today, she changed her previous style and took the initiative to get closer to the elders. The reason is simple ¡ª Grandma and Granny, these two women who have been rich for a lifetime, don¡¯t want to see Liang Yingying as ¡®Mrs. Zhang¡¯ who was a mistress. CH 5.1 Enchantress | December 12, 2021 Liang Yingying had a small movement under her hand just now and Zhang Shuocheng¡¯s performance was not good, this made Zhang Yansheng¡¯s grandma displeased. This pair of sister-in-laws ¡ª her grandma has a strong personal ability and is a business woman. After marrying her grandfather, she participates in the family business and is very competitive. On the other hand, her granny has a good background and marriage. She supported her husband and raised her children well, so she has become a noblewoman for a lifetime. The two grandmothers looked at each other not so pleasingly, it can be said that they have been fighting for a lifetime. Now, both their husbands have passed away first and only these two old ladies are left, the relationship has eased a little bit than before. It¡¯s just that those competitions in the open and clandestine fights can¡¯t be avoided. Her granny has a harsh mouth. All her life, she has criticized her grandma for being busy with her career and neglecting to take care of her children. So, grandma is the most unbearable for her children and grandchildren to shame her in front of her sister-in-law. Zhang Shuocheng has grown up in the past two years, but he has become less and less like her. In short, he has never given his grandma a face. Her grandma¡¯s grandson is not just him, so she treats him just so-so. ¡°You go ahead and play.¡± Zhang Yansheng said to Zhang Heling, ¡°I¡¯ll stay here with grandmothers.¡± Old ladies like to be lively and like to have someone to talk with. But how many young people are patient enough to speak with an old lady? Even Zhang Huan, her grandma¡¯s own son who had spent a long time in front of her, wanted to slip away. His eldest daughter suddenly became so well-behaved and sensible, as if she had returned to the time when her mother was still alive, Zhang Huan is indescribably happy. Seeing Zhang Heling raise her head to look at the adults, he nodded hurriedly: ¡°Go, go, go and play with your brother.¡± I¡¯m not going to look for him. Zhang Heling got the permission of the adults and ran to the children¡¯s play area, looking for girls of the same age. Zhang Huan looked around and said, ¡°Mom, then I¡­¡± ¡°Okay, I know.¡± Grandma waved impatiently, ¡°Go, go.¡± Zhang Huan was relieved and quickly left. Liang Yingying didn¡¯t have the arrogance when she¡¯s at home, so she immediately followed Zhang Huan. Grandma looked at Zhang Yansheng who was left behind and said warmly: ¡°You go play too, don¡¯t worry about us.¡± Zhang Yansheng smiled and sat down next to the old lady on the sofa: ¡°How old am I to still play?¡± She took her arm and sighed: ¡°You haven¡¯t seen me for a long time. Don¡¯t you miss me at all and even want to chase me away?¡± Grandma laughed, patted her hand and said, ¡°I¡¯m just worried that you¡¯ll think that we, old ladies, are too boring.¡± ¡°No.¡± Zhang Yansheng said, ¡°I like to listen to you two.¡± She looked at the fruit plate on the coffee table, pierced two strawberries with a fruit stick, and handed one to both old ladies. The two old ladies both smiled and ate elegantly. They were talking while eating. ¡°When will Shuchen¡¯s wife give birth?¡± ¡°The due date is by the end of August.¡± ¡°That¡¯s coming soon. Have they seen it? Is it a boy or girl?¡± ¡°They didn¡¯t check the gender yet. The young man said to keep it as a surprise.¡± Granny said, ¡°Men and women are the same now, it¡¯s not like how we were back then.¡± Grandma also said, ¡°Yes, after all, the times are different.¡± Although granny is her husband¡¯s younger sister and got married later than her, she gave birth early. Now, she¡¯s holding her great-grandchildren already. The two old ladies chatted again about a certain family¡¯s good-for-nothing son and a daughter who were chosen as the heir; then in another family, the children were fighting for inheritance, some even went beyond and were ruthless who almost killed others. At this age, the past is like a smoke, the conversation is all about children and their offsprings. As soon as the topic changed, it suddenly turned to Zhang Yansheng. ¡°Your sister Rongrong will go to Europe to have fun in a few days, you should come along.¡± Granny said with a smile. Zhang Yansheng said: ¡°I¡¯m not going, I want to make up for the lessons this summer.¡± Both old ladies were surprised. Zhang Yansheng lowered her eyes and said, ¡°After my mom died, I didn¡¯t work too hard. Now, my grades are not as good as before. I¡¯m afraid I won¡¯t be able to keep up after entering high school, so I want to make up for it this summer vacation. Moreover, there is a placement test, so I really need to exert great effort.¡± The old ladies sighed. Zhang Yansheng¡¯s grandma was even more sad. Zhang Yansheng used to be very good and she is considered to be her favorite among her grandchildren, so she often shows off in front of her sister-in-law. But after the child¡¯s mother passed away, the child has become much worse than before, and even her personality has become unpleasant. The grandmother and granddaughter gradually drifted apart. Looking at her now, she has grown up and is now a big girl; but she is still the cute, sensible, and charming little granddaughter. It¡¯s her father¡¯s fault for bringing such a woman into the house and ruining the family. Poor child. After a few years of stubbornness, she now appears to have grown up and became more transparent. The old lady sighed and touched her head. Grandma asked: ¡°You¡¯ll be in high school now when the school starts, right? Which school are you going to?¡± ¡°Yi High School.¡± Zhang Yansheng said, ¡°My mom always wanted me to go to Yi High School.¡± When she was a child, Zhang Yansheng¡¯s mother thought that she could get to the best high school in K City based on her grades. But now, Zhang Yansheng was sent in by her father with money. Zhang Yansheng originally just wanted to use this topic to get closer to the elders. She remembered the expectation that her deceased mother once had for her. However, she was expelled from Yi High School, got mixed up, and died in disdain at the end. If her mother knew it, how sad could she be? Zhang Yansheng showed a regretful expression. The look in her eyes really shows that she has grown up. CH 5.2 Enchantress | December 12, 2021 The two old ladies looked at each other with pity for the child who had lost her mother. Her granny was more temperamental and asked directly: ¡°Is that woman making things difficult for you at home?¡± Her grandma also stared at her. If Zhang Yansheng says that she was bullied by her stepmother, the two old ladies would have to teach this mistress who is sitting in a high position. ¡°I¡¯m not afraid of her.¡± Zhang Yansheng said, ¡°It¡¯s just that my brother is too annoying and out of control, so I should look after him.¡± ¡®Not afraid of her¡¯ does not mean that the woman has not bullied her, but that she can deal with it by herself. She also expressed her hatred for her younger brother. Zhang Yansheng¡¯s grandma looked at her with admiration. She looked up and down her granddaughter¡¯s eyes, patted her hand, nodded and said, ¡°Okay, if you can¡¯t handle it, then call grandma.¡± Zhang Yan said in a deep voice: ¡°Don¡¯t worry.¡± Soon, two cousins ??came over to invite her grandma and granny. The banquet is about to officially begin. Zhang Yansheng first helped the two old ladies to stand up; afterwards, she lent her arm to support her granny. Her granny proudly said to her grandma: ¡°Look, how filial Yanyan is to me.¡± Her grandma scoffed: ¡°That¡¯s not it, it¡¯s only because you¡¯re the birthday star today.¡± Zhang Yansheng just pursed her lips. During the birthday banquet, Zhang Yansheng has been closely following the two old ladies. The old ladies also enjoyed the thoughtful care of their beautiful granddaughter. There are also other cousins ??who were pushed out by their parents to the elders. The two old ladies didn¡¯t refuse and both smiled. Zhang Yansheng didn¡¯t fight with her cousins, but she didn¡¯t leave as well, and was surrounded by the old ladies. At the same time, her eyes have been searching for Zhang Shuocheng in the crowd. In her last life, Zhang Shuocheng brought that water gun to the birthday banquet. He had always been hostile to Zhang Yansheng, so he deliberately filled the water gun with water and ruined her other skirt at the banquet. It made her lose face and shame in front of her grandma, and lost the old woman¡¯s favor because of her loud noise after creating a ruckus. Later on, it was even more so because her relatives had turned away from her and she was isolated. She was constantly reflecting on her past life; then suddenly, the corner of her eyes caught Zhang Shuocheng¡¯s chaotic figure in the crowd. Zhang Yansheng¡¯s gaze was cold. Zhang Shuocheng¡¯s eyes shone with light. Zhang Yansheng knows too well what he was thinking. This little brat has been working hard for years to make her, his eldest sister, lose face on occasions like this. It seems that he is making a move. Her granny is opening her gifts with everyone, Yanyan is smiling, and the atmosphere is very good. Zhang Yansheng leaned down, picked up the teapot, and moved to refill the tea for the old lady and a guest. The guest complimented her grandma and granny: ¡°Look at how filial this child is.¡± Zhang Yansheng smiled shyly at the guest, then leaned over and pushed the fruit tray. Zhang Yansheng¡¯s movements were very slow, Zhang Shuocheng grinned, raised the small water gun and pulled the trigger¡­¡­ Zhang Yansheng suddenly stood up and turned around, as if to greet the waiter. But with such an abrupt movement, it exposed her grandma and granny who were blocked by her. The cold water, with a slight fishy smell, was poured from the white jade-sculpted fish pond at her granny¡¯s house, and soon was sprayed to the old birthday star. It even splashed on her grandma and the guest next to her. Everyone exclaimed! Her grandma also had some water splashed on her, and she was merely surprised to get angry. But when she heard Zhang Yansheng¡¯s voice, ¡°What are you doing, Zhang Shuocheng?!¡±, her face turned pale after the shock. Zhang Huan saw that his son was in trouble, so he came over and held him. Zhang Shuocheng failed to escape, still kicking on both legs and yelling: ¡°Let go of me, let me go!¡± He was shouting, then suddenly a sentence came out: ¡°D*mn it, let me go!¡± Everyone was in an uproar. This little kid actually talks to his elders like this. Now, even Zhang Huan¡¯s face turned ashen! He dragged his own son in front of the birthday star and pulled his face down to apologize to his aunt: ¡°Auntie, I¡¯m sorry, I¡¯m sorry, it¡¯s because of this brat. When I get home, I will beat him to death!¡± Zhang Yansheng was wiping the water droplets on her grandma with a paper towel. Her granny got another granddaughter to do this to her as well. Hearing that, her Granny¡¯s expression worsened, so she snorted. Grandma couldn¡¯t hold her face even more and scolded Zhang Huan: ¡°What are you talking about on an auspicious day?!¡± Only then did Zhang Huan realize that the old family members had a taboo about words regarding death, so he hurriedly tried to make up for it: ¡°Bah, I made a mistake! Stinky boy, apologize to your Granny! Hurry up and say ¡®I¡¯m sorry¡¯!¡± Zhang Shuocheng is used to being lawless at home. He was already warned before going to the party, so he was anxious and wanting to get up, just struggling to escape. Liang Yingying saw her son getting into trouble. At first, she wanted to draw back but she didn¡¯t know that her son would not even admit his mistake. She had no choice but to come out of the crowd, firmly pinch Zhang Shuocheng¡¯s palm several times and whispered, ¡°Say sorry! Hurry up!¡± She is ruthless and a bit strict. Zhang Huan has never actually hit Zhang Shuocheng, and only Liang Yingying would occasionally pinch him a few times at home. But Zhang Shuocheng not only did not apologize, but also yelled a few times and cried in pain, which made him even more embarrassed. ¡°Okay, okay.¡± His aunt looked disgusted, ¡°Why do you have to make trouble on my good day? You should take care of this child when you go home. Your grandmother, your father, your mother, I¡¯m not sure how they control you. Don¡¯t come here to make a joke out of me in front of the guests.¡± She¡¯s always been like this. She will say words like ¡®your grandmother¡¯ to stab Zhang Yansheng¡¯s grandma. Zhang Yansheng turned blue with anger when she saw her grandma¡¯s face. Zhang Yansheng did not say a word and quietly used a paper towel to help the old lady absorb moisture from the wet places on her clothes. The light from the corner of her eye glanced over and saw the embarrassed couple, with a bashful smile. Zhang Yansheng sneered in her heart. CH 6.1 Enchantress | December 13, 2021 There was an unpleasant episode at this birthday banquet. Finally, the old birthday star had no choice but to go upstairs to change into a new dress, and also changed into a set of emerald jewelry to match the new dress. That set of emeralds is precious though. But everyone knows that her granny still prefers rubies and prefers to wear red on such festive days. Zhang Yansheng¡¯s grandma¡¯s face is very ugly all over the place. Her grandma endured it until the birthday banquet ended, and she burst out to Zhang Huan when she was about to get in her car in the courtyard: ¡°If you can¡¯t teach your son well, then don¡¯t bring him out to embarrass me in the future!¡± Zhang Huan didn¡¯t dare to lead Zhang Shuocheng to follow the old lady at this time, and let Liang Yingying first take Zhang Shuocheng and Zhang Heling in the car to wait for him. Now, the only ones in front of the old lady are Zhang Huan and Zhang Yansheng. ¡°Don¡¯t be angry.¡± Zhang Yansheng gently stroked the arm of the old lady, comforting softly, ¡°It¡¯s not worth it to be angry.¡± The granddaughter is so gentle and lovely. When the old lady looked at her, her anger was a little bit lessen; but when she looked at her son, she groaned again. Zhang Yansheng glanced at Zhang Huan and said, ¡°My father can¡¯t control that kid. He¡¯s used to being like a little ancestor, otherwise do you think that kid would dare to be so naughty?¡± Grandma was furious, then pointed to Zhang Huan and said: ¡°It is the father¡¯s fault for raising kids but not teaching them! If you can¡¯t handle him, then let Yanyan be in charge of him!¡± Zhang Huan sweated on his forehead and only dared to nod his head: ¡°Okay, okay.¡± Zhang Yansheng said: ¡°That¡¯s alright but how should I take care of him? If he will not obey, should I beat him up? Our family doesn¡¯t hit children.¡± ¡°You are the eldest daughter of this family. The eldest sister is like a mother. Of course, you are qualified to take care of your younger siblings.¡± Her grandma said with a cold face. ¡°We don¡¯t hit kids, but that rule only applies for you and for Hehe who are obedient. Shoushou is like a monkey that needs to be beaten! Hit him! How old is he for you to not be able to beat him? Did you learn that Sanda for nothing?¡± Zhang Yansheng glanced at Zhang Huan: ¡°I can¡¯t wait to beat him to death every day, but will my dad let me do it?¡± This child is spoiled by his father. As for his mother who¡¯s better kept under the table, her grandma doesn¡¯t have any expectations at all. She lowered her face: ¡°If I let you beat him, then just beat him. If your dad will not let you, tell me and I¡¯ll beat him instead! It¡¯s not that I¡¯ve never beaten him anyway!¡± Zhang Huan can only smile when his mother reveals this secret in front of the girl. He was relieved as he watched his daughter coax her mother into the car softly. He sighed and said to Zhang Yansheng: ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡± Zhang Yansheng glanced at him and walked towards their car in silence. At night, her daughter¡¯s eyes are exactly the same as her mother¡¯s back then. The look in her eyes was the same as the look in her mother¡¯s eyes in the last two years. He¡¯s no longer under any illusions, there¡¯s really no despair in her eyes now. Zhang Huan was startled. The eldest daughter has been wrong tonight, but she seems to be¡­ too calm. In the past, she will always feel indignant, will make a ruckus all the time fuming with rage. Isn¡¯t that how she should be? Why did she¡­ suddenly change her character now? It was as if she was possessed by her mother. On a hot summer night, Zhang Huan inexplicably felt a little bit chilly. He hurried to catch up with his daughter and headed towards their car. After getting in the car, Liang Yingying complained: ¡°What¡¯s the big fuss? The kids are just naughty and that¡¯s all. How can a person of her age be angry with a child?¡± Zhang Huan accompanied his mother and aunt with a smiley face for the rest of that evening. So, he got angry when she scolded him now. He immediately yelled at her: ¡°You shut up!¡± He then turned around and pointed at Zhang Shuocheng¡¯s nose and cursed: ¡°If you dare to bring me this sh*t when you go out in the future, I will beat you to death!¡± As he said that, he leaned forward and grabbed the water gun in Zhang Shuocheng¡¯s hand, then threw it out of the window. ¡°My gun! My gun!¡± Zhang Shuocheng burst into tears. ¡°Shut up!¡± Zhang Huan shouted at him, ¡°If you cry again, I¡¯ll beat you to death!¡± It is rare for Zhang Huan to be so angry with Zhang Shuocheng. He was so frightened, so his wailing changed into sobbing. Liang Yingying was also terrified, especially with Zhang Yansheng that was sitting in the back row. Her face was a little bit awkward and whispered in a low voice: ¡°He didn¡¯t mean it¡­¡± ¡°Shut up!¡± Zhang Yansheng only watched the farce between the father and son with cold eyes. She knew that Zhang Huan was just scaring Zhang Shuocheng. Zhang Huan is a bit patriarchal. He had always wanted a son, otherwise he would not have brought Liang Yingying home and marry her if not for Zhang Shuocheng. She was stupid in the past. She regarded Liang Yingying as a big mountain and had to jump around and turn her voice up. As a result, she pushed Zhang Huan to Liang Yingying¡¯s side, which promoted the relationship of the husband and wife. But how united can this couple be? Look, for such a small incident, and it¡¯s now back in its original form. Zhang Yansheng understands why Zhang Huan is angry. Zhang Huan is not an only child. Although there are several independent companies under his name, the core business of the family is still in his mother¡¯s hands. The number of points he scored in his mother¡¯s heart now depends on how much power the old lady is willing to give him, and also on how much he can get from the old lady¡¯s will in the future. Zhang Yansheng, as a 15-year-old, had never thought about this in the past. But now that she has been in the society for a while, she realized that you can do anything with money. Looking at such a strong old lady, she really wants to give her a thumbs up. She cast a glance to see Liang Yingying. Such a young woman is together with her father, a half-old man, what does this picture tell? Isn¡¯t it just to scheme for money? It is so ridiculous that she used to think of her as a mountain. She was just a little gold-digger woman, who didn¡¯t dare to let a fart in front of her grandma. Zhang Yansheng now recalls what she had done before and sighed to herself¡­ She really did things in the wrong order and didn¡¯t know what was the most important thing. The woman sitting in the front is now unimportant in her heart. The illusion of ¡®big mountain¡¯ was crushed already. Even her father, she remembered his cautiousness and flattery in front of her grandmother. She couldn¡¯t help but tilt the corner of her mouth, bringing out a sneer. As she turned her eyes again, she saw Zhang Heling beside her. Zhang Heling sat in the middle at the back row. Her small face was white with fright, she wanted to cry, but no one in the car cared about her. She is neither the first child who can bear the surprise of being a new father, nor the one that can handle and bear the expectation of being an heir. She was caught in the middle, she is also a girl, and she has a mother who depends on her son. She is destined to be the pitiful one who is ignored by everyone. As if feeling her gaze, Zhang Heling suddenly turned her head and looked at her. There seemed to be tears in her eyes, but she bit her lip timidly, not daring to annoy the adults. The two girls¡¯ eyes met. Zhang Yansheng clearly felt the anticipation in the little girl¡¯s eyes. Zhang Yansheng was baffled. When the mother and son entered their household, she was angry for a while and had pushed Zhang Heling down. Logically speaking, Zhang Heling should be afraid that she hates her. But from the moment she entered the house, this little girl has always followed her, always wanting to be her little tail. CH 6.2 Enchantress | December 13, 2021 At first, she yelled at her several times. The little girl was merely a coward, with a small face and bulging cheeks, a flat mouth as if trying not to cry. Then later on, Zhang Yansheng couldn¡¯t find a way to yell at her anymore, so she just ignored her and treated her as if she didn¡¯t exist. It¡¯s just that she couldn¡¯t believe that upon her death, this girl would be the most broken-hearted and cried the most. The expectation in those big tearful eyes is very stressful, so Zhang Yansheng looked away. However, Zhang Heling was very cautious and solemn to her, so she moved closer to her. The small body touched Zhang Yansheng¡¯s arm. Zhang Yansheng froze, then turned her head to the window to escape. Children¡¯s instincts are very keen. They don¡¯t have as many twists and turns in their hearts as adults do; and most of the time, they just follow their intuition. Despite her stiffness, her sister did not push her away, nor did not impatiently frighten her with a fierce look. Compared to the past, it is more than a hundred times gentler. Zhang Heling became courageous, so her whole body leaned towards Zhang Yansheng. To her surprise¡­ she was actually leaning on Zhang Yansheng. Zhang Yansheng stiffened for a moment. She felt that the little body beside her resembled a little animal and she could even smell a faint scent on her body. That is the smell of children¡¯s skin care cream, not as fragrant as adult women¡¯s skin care products, but¡­ it¡¯s very relaxing and smells good. But her arm suddenly got wet. ¡­¡­ Are her teardrops still falling? Zhang Yansheng looked at the night view outside the window and was silent for a moment, then pulled a piece of paper towel and shoved it over. Zhang Heling squeezed the paper towel in surprise and looked at Zhang Yansheng. Her elder sister¡¯s gaze was now in the front, looking steadily forward. Zhang Heling suddenly smiled, wiped her tears, and also blew her nose. Crying and laughing, children are really annoying, Zhang Yansheng thought. When they returned home, Zhang Huan¡¯s anger had not been extinguished yet. ¡°Lock up all his game consoles for me!¡± He ordered Liang Yingying, then pointed to Zhang Shuocheng¡¯s nose and scolded him, ¡°This summer you will take extra lessons with a private tutor here at home! Look at your nonsense results last semester! And you, don¡¯t go shopping and play mahjong all day long, watch your children study! The children were born from you, not from the nanny!¡± Then finally, the scolding returned to Liang Yingying. Losing face in front of her stepdaughter, Liang Yingying was frustrated. But she relies on men to eat, so she knows when to behave like a baby and when to behave with integrity. She obediently responded, ¡°I know, I know, let¡¯s go back to the room and talk about it.¡± Zhang Shuocheng hides behind Liang Yingying. It is also the first time he has seen his father to have such a big temper. His mother did not open her arms to protect him, so he was stunned. Although he was not convinced, he did not dare to say anything. Zhang Yansheng was born again in just half a day, and she saw the separation of the couple who had stood together in front of her before, which was very meaningless. She was too lazy to look at them now, so she turned away and walked upstairs. Zhang Heling saw her sister go upstairs and immediately resembled a little tail: ¡°Sister, wait for me.¡± The bedrooms of the two sisters are on the second floor, next to each other. Zhang Yansheng strode off. Zhang Heling ran after her, and finally caught up. ¡°Sister.¡± Zhang Yansheng¡¯s attitude tonight is very different from before. Zhang Heling, the little child, took advantage of it, ¡°Sister, are you going to sleep now? Good night then!¡± Zhang Yansheng just walked to the door of her bedroom and opened the door. She stopped and finally, as she couldn¡¯t bear it anymore, turned around and stared at Zhang Heling. Zhang Heling blinked her big and bright eyes. ¡°Zhang Heling!¡± Zhang Yansheng asked with a calm face, ¡°Why are you following me all the time?¡± ¡°Because¡­¡± Zhang Heling answered seriously, ¡°I am your younger sister!¡± Zhang Yansheng: ¡°¡­¡± Zhang Yansheng crossed her arms and asked the little girl: ¡°Do you remember what happened when you were a kid?¡± Zhang Heling: ¡°Huh?¡± ¡°Do you remember what happened when you first came to my house?¡± ¡°Emmm¡­ I don¡¯t remember much¡­¡± ¡°Forget it.¡± Zhang Yansheng turned around to go back to the room. It¡¯s rare that her sister was willing to talk to her and she was so calm, so Zhang Heling hurriedly grabbed Zhang Yansheng¡¯s skirt: ¡°Remember, I remember!¡± ¡°Remember what? You were only four years old then!¡± Zhang Yansheng shouted. Although the 15-year-old Zhang Yansheng often yells at home, she is far less imposing than the 21-one-year-old Zhang Yansheng who has been in the society. At this moment, Zhang Yansheng¡¯s voice was not too loud, but her grandeur was much stronger than before. Zhang Heling flinched. Zhang Yansheng stared at her. While taking advantage of her height, she asked condescendingly: ¡°What do you remember?¡± That is difficult to answer because her childhood memories are all scattered and fragmented. Zhang Heling was a bit dazed. She actually had no idea what Zhang Yansheng was asking, so it¡¯s only natural that she couldn¡¯t answer. Zhang Yansheng asked: ¡°The first day you and your mother came here, I pushed you down. Do you remember that?¡± Zhang Heling suddenly realized: ¡°Oh! That one.. I remember!¡± ¡°Do you really remember?¡± ¡°Yes! It¡¯s in the living room on the first floor where I knocked my back in the corner of the sofa, right?¡± At that time, she was very little. Unexpectedly, she actually remembered what happened. Zhang Yansheng said: ¡°I thought you forgot. If you remember, why do you keep chasing me? Don¡¯t you hate me? Are you not afraid of me?¡± ¡°I¡¯m a little scared¡­¡± The pink and tender girl scratched her face and raised her head and said, ¡°However, although my sister was loud and scary at the time, what I remember very clearly is that sister, you¡­ won¡¯t stop crying¡­¡± The voice of the sister whom she met for the first time was very loud, sounds very fierce, and a bit scary. But her eyes were crying, her tears kept flowing. Her mother is dead. Just after she died, her own mother wanted to be someone else¡¯s mother. Zhang Heling felt that if the same thing happened to herself, then she would be very angry and sad as well. She can¡¯t hate this fierce sister. The little girl is not so mindful, she can just say whatever she thinks in her heart. The big eyes are black and white, and they have the clearest spring in the world, but not that clear. This kind of clarity is called childlike innocence. Zhang Yansheng stared at the little girl, then stretched out her hand and slammed the door shut. CH 7.1 The room is tidy and clean, and the mess caused by changing clothes before going out has been cleaned up. Zhang Yansheng took off the dress she was on to attend the birthday banquet and went straight to the bathroom. She took a bath, wrapped a bath towel, and applied her skin care products. She paused and wiped the mirror. The mirror was wiped clean, giving a clear view of a 15-year-old girl. Zhang Yansheng looked at her reflection for a moment, pulled off the bath towel, and turned around in front of the mirror. There¡¯s nothing on her nape, arms, hips, thighs, and ankles. She doesn¡¯t have any of those tattoos. A clean girl, a life that started all over again. Zhang Yansheng wrapped the bath towel again and returned to the bedroom, changed into her pajamas, and laid down. She can¡¯t figure out why she was born again this year. Is there anything special at this time? But she really can¡¯t think of anything. She can¡¯t fall asleep even while lying down, so Zhang Yansheng got up again to find her phone and look through the information in it. There is no significant information. Fifteen-year-old girls are both livid and resentful, those that tend to burst out at every turn can be seen from the information. Zhang Yansheng dropped her phone and was dumbstruck for a moment. When she stood up, she saw a few books neatly stacked on a clean desk, then she walked over. Aunt Luo had found all the textbooks of all subjects in her first and second years of middle school, and they were neatly organized according to subjects. Zhang Yansheng pulled the chair and sat down, flipping through the books. She doesn¡¯t need to read literature and language, so she flipped through other textbooks, but she can¡¯t remember a single definition of any mathematical formulas and theorems ¡ª chemistry, physics, geography, biology ¡ª all of them. Zhang Yansheng closed the textbook and let out a long sigh. But as the saying goes, ¡®You¡¯re here now¡¯. She has returned to her 15-year-old self and is about to go to high school. She must work hard, even if she doesn¡¯t want to. Zhang Yansheng pushed the textbook away, then had her chair slide in front of the computer, turned it on, and drew a timetable. Mathematics, physics and chemistry, taekwondo, sanda, including the four arts ¡ª piano, chess, calligraphy, and painting ¡ª that she abandoned¡­ one by one, she added them to the table. Starting tomorrow, she will be a new person. ¡­¡­ Zhang Huan got up early the next morning and went downstairs. He is getting older, so he is no longer able to sleep so late like when he was younger, and his sleep is getting lighter and shorter now. This is a sign of aging. The servants at home knew his schedule. The aunts got up earlier than him. When he got off the stairs, the morning newspaper was ready. Zhang Huan was drinking coffee and reading the newspaper, then he heard a loud noise outside. What is that person doing early in the morning? Zhang Huan carried his cup of coffee and saw that Zhang Yansheng had set up a target for her training in the courtyard. She looks good in her white clothes. She did a side kick which accurately hit the target. It made a ¡°pa¡± sound, loud and clear. She didn¡¯t sleep late during the summer vacation? Why is she so hardworking now? Zhang Huan was a little puzzled, as if something was wrong with his eldest daughter since last night. He didn¡¯t intend to interrupt her either. He glanced at Zhang Yansheng, took a sip of coffee, and planned to go back to continue his breakfast. He took two steps away, but he went back again. This time, he looked at her carefully for a while. Zhang Huan pushed to open the glass door and walked over: ¡°Yanyan, why does Dad think that you now have a better posture than before?¡± This is simply rubbish. The 21-year-old Zhang Yansheng had six more years of training than the 15-year-old Zhang Yansheng. And that¡¯s what made Zhang Yansheng so reckless to hang out with a gang of scoundrels outside. This is what you called a skilled person being audacious. She can¡¯t help but think of those bastards who do a lot of evil things and dared to give her drugs. Zhang Yansheng thought about how she hung out with those bastards all day long, wasted her life, wasted her youth, and finally died. She really hated it. Her leg rushed into the wind, kicked the target hard, and made a particularly loud noise. Zhang Huan shrunk his neck instinctively. ¡°I am a black belt.¡± Zhang Yan answered concisely. Black belt and red belt, isn¡¯t that just a kind of stuff that coaxes students to spend more money? Zhang Huan has not been very cold about things like Zhang Yansheng learning taekwondo and sanda. This was what Zhang Yansheng¡¯s mother insisted for her to learn. But Zhang Yansheng was also interested in them, so she persisted. Zhang Huan nodded and smiled: ¡°Very good, very good, you did not learn them for nothing.¡± Zhang Yansheng was fed up with this kind of Zhang Huan¡¯s appearance. He always looks like this every time he tries to smooth things over. Zhang Yansheng was angry when she caught this sight. Her early morning training was almost over. Zhang Yansheng wiped her sweat and said ¡°I¡¯m going back¡±, so she left Zhang Huan and went upstairs. Zhang Huan was slowly drinking coffee in the courtyard. In the cool morning, his wife and two younger children had not gotten up yet, so no one was arguing and no one was making noise. It was so beautiful and quiet. At this age, it¡¯s hard to find tranquility, alas. After drinking a cup of coffee, he¡¯ll go to the company; nevertheless, his office is surely quiet and comfortable. Zhang Yansheng took a bath, washed away her sweat, and sat down at the desk refreshingly. She stared at the stacks of books for a long time, and finally got the courage to start with mathematics. She took the book and opened it¡­ In fact, it is actually not that difficult. It was only later that Zhang Yansheng became bad, so she got bored and was afraid of learning. Now, she was copying formulas and theorems one by one, and her mind was very clear. Sure enough, the brain after the age of 20 cannot be compared with that of a teenager. Zhang Yansheng gradually learned. When she got tired from mathematics, she then changed to physics. The other people at home are getting up too. Suddenly, there was a shout from the next door. Zhang Heling yelled: ¡°You put it down for me, that¡¯s mine!¡± Zhang Shuocheng was quite unreasonable: ¡°Give it to me!¡± ¡°Go play on your own!¡± ¡°Mine is gone!¡± Zhang Yansheng: ¡°¡­¡± Zhang Yansheng walked over and closed the door of her room with a ¡®bang¡¯. CH 7.2 It was a little better after closing the door, but the movement next door could still be heard. She did not know what the two little ones were fighting over, they were just grabbing to snatch something from each other. Anyway, they were born to the same mother and have an internal strife, which has nothing to do with her. The problem is their mouths still keep on screaming while fighting. When Zhang Heling suddenly let out a scream, Zhang Yansheng was caught off guard. With a sudden force, she bent the nib of the water-based pen. The paper was also ripped. Zhang Yansheng: ¡°¡­¡± Mom, I want to hit someone. She crumpled the paper, threw it into the paper basket with the damaged water-based pen, and took a new pen. The running sound of ¡®boom boom boom¡¯ sounded in the corridor. Zhang Heling screamed and chased after, followed by a louder voice. At the first hearing, the two naughty children fell while tearing each other. Something seemed to have fallen on the ground, making a crackling sound. Zhang Yansheng: ¡°¡­¡± Zhang Yansheng¡¯s anger finally couldn¡¯t be suppressed. She was originally a hot-tempered person. It was because she was reborn from death that she changed her mind and wanted to be a Buddhist and worked hard to make progress. However, she is not a cat that shrinks and becomes sick! Zhang Yansheng pushed her chair away loudly and got up, strode to the door, and opened it with a ¡®swish¡¯. Zhang Shuocheng is a clever kid, so he got up when he heard the doorknob turned. When Zhang Yansheng came out, she only saw his back, and he had already disappeared. Zhang Yansheng felt regret. She turned around and there was a broken game console on the ground, the screen was broken. Zhang Heling sat on the ground and shed tears. There was a tooth mark on her pink cheek! It was pretty deep, almost bleeding! Zhang Yansheng frowned and squatted down, pinched the little girl¡¯s chin to check on it, and said sarcastically: ¡°You are two years older than him, but you can¡¯t even beat him?¡± You must know that the elementary school stage can almost be said to be the only few years in a woman¡¯s life when she can defeat men of the same age in height and physical strength. What¡¯s more, Zhang Heling is a sister and she is much taller than Zhang Shuocheng! Zhang Heling was sore and angry. With tears in her eyes, she said: ¡°I can¡¯t really fight him as he is so young.¡± Zhang Yansheng now understands it clearly. How did that naughty kid get used to it? Naturally, he depended on his parents¡¯ words: ¡®He is a child¡¯, ¡®He is still young¡¯, and ¡®Don¡¯t argue with children¡¯. In order to protect her baby son, Liang Yingying always asked Zhang Heling to let Zhang Shuocheng do anything, and always reminded Zhang Heling to love her younger brother. Zhang Heling is a well-behaved and obedient child. Even when she was tearing up and snatching things with Zhang Shuocheng, she remembered in her heart that she couldn¡¯t really hit her younger brother. But Zhang Shuocheng didn¡¯t care. The two grabbed the game console and twisted their bodies together, and the naughty child opened his mouth and bit Zhang Heling! That¡¯s why there was a scream just now. ¡°Good people are deceived by others, and good horses are ridden by others.¡± Zhang Yansheng sneered, ¡°If you love your brother so much, then just let him take a few more bites. How nice it is to have a few more tooth marks on your face.¡± The game console is broken and her face hurts, but her sister doesn¡¯t comfort her. Zhang Heling¡¯s mouth flattened, and she wanted to hold back as hard as she could, so she twitched the corners of her mouth and twitched it down. Her teardrops fell off in a string, and she made a sound of whining. Wronged, pitiful, ridiculous, and¡­ cute. Zhang Yansheng gritted her teeth, then stood up and told her: ¡°Don¡¯t cry, come in.¡± After speaking, she turned and went back to the room. Zhang Heling picked up the game console, wiped away her tears, and entered Zhang Yansheng¡¯s room. This room is quite unfamiliar to her. Anyone in the family who dares to enter Zhang Yansheng¡¯s room casually will be yelled at. Zhang Heling¡¯s big eyes flickered, and she looked at her sister¡¯s room. Zhang Yansheng pointed to the sofa, ¡°Sit over there.¡± The little girl with thin arms and thin legs and tooth marks on her face immediately sat down obediently. Zhang Yansheng brought the emergency kit from the room. She opened it and found that there was everything in it. She took out a spray and pinched Zhang Heling¡¯s chin: ¡°Don¡¯t move.¡± Seeing that there was no bleeding, just that there was a bit of a bite. Zhang Heling shivered when she was spraying the medicine, and it could be seen that there was a wound on her skin. Zhang Yansheng took a closer look, and sure enough, there was a little broken skin, but there was no bleeding. ¡°He¡¯s a dog!¡± She scolded Zhang Shuocheng. Zhang Heling sniffed, still crying in her voice: ¡°Exactly!¡± Zhang Yan snorted coldly, despising her particularly. ¡°And you¡¯re a fool. Why can¡¯t you fight back even though he is young?¡± She sneered, ¡°Did he ever think about letting you go when he bit you?¡± Zhang Heling couldn¡¯t answer. In fact, she knew in her heart that her brother would never let her go. Her younger brother is like a hyena, small but fierce. Zhang Yansheng packed the emergency kit and said: ¡°Everyone has to protect themselves first. You are older than him, taller than him, and stronger than him. But you are bullied by him, so that¡¯s what you deserve.¡± ¡°But if I hit my brother.¡± Zhang Heling whispered, ¡°My mother will scold me.¡± Zhang Yansheng then asked her: ¡°Which one hurts more, being scolded or bitten?¡± Do you still have to ask? Zhang Heling replied honestly: ¡°Being bitten.¡± Zhang Yansheng threw the emergency kit on the coffee table, leaned back, raised her legs, stopped talking, and only looked at Zhang Heling. Zhang Heling also watched her for a long time. She felt that although this sister is cute, but she is a bit stupid. Finally, before her sister¡¯s patience ran out, the little sister blinked and said cautiously: ¡°Then next time, I will¡­ try.¡± CH 8.1 Zhang Yansheng was finally a little satisfied. But with a glance, she saw that Zhang Heling was still holding the game console with the broken screen in her hand. ¡°If it¡¯s broken, why don¡¯t you throw it away?¡± Zhang Yansheng picked it up and flicked her arm. Zhang Heling was too late to stop her, the game console had already drawn an arc and landed steadily in the trash can. Zhang Heling stretched out her hand, crying without tears: ¡°Ah, that¡¯s¡­ my¡­¡± Zhang Yan said impatiently: ¡°Just buy a new one.¡± Zhang Heling flattened her mouth and said, ¡°My mother won¡¯t buy it for me. This was bought together with Shuoshuo¡¯s.¡± A game console costs only a few thousand yuan. Zhang Yansheng asked smoothly: ¡°Why wouldn¡¯t she buy it for you?¡± Zhang Heling lowered her head: ¡°She won¡¯t buy it for me¡­¡± Zhang Yansheng was stunned and suddenly remembered. Although she didn¡¯t really care about Zhang Heling. After living together in this family for many years, she could see and hear a lot. Zhang Heling was still a child, Zhang Yansheng didn¡¯t know whether she understood it or not, but the reborn adult Zhang Yansheng understood it very well. This woman, Liang Yingying, dislikes her daughter so much. This dislike is reflected in her differential treatment to her two children. It¡¯s actually quite obvious. Just like this broken game console, it only costs a few thousand dollars, but even Zhang Heling knew that Liang Yingying would not buy her a new one. Zhang Yansheng tried to figure out Liang Yingying¡¯s mentality, but it was not incomprehensible. Zhang Heling was four years old when she entered the family. This woman, who wanted to marry into a wealthy family and be a noble lady, couldn¡¯t get in after giving birth to Zhang Heling for four years. In the end, she relied on Zhang Shuocheng to get in. It is not difficult to understand that she dislikes Zhang Heling for being a girl. Zhang Yansheng paused and said: ¡°Then you can buy it yourself.¡± Zhang Heling said faintly, ¡°I have no money¡­¡± Zhang Yansheng asked in surprise, ¡°Where is your pocket money?¡± Zhang Heling said: ¡°I don¡¯t have pocket money. I¡­ have asked my mother but she said that there is no need to give pocket money to children, and there is no shortage of food and clothing.¡± In fact, Liang Yingying was telling the truth. Zhang Heling lives in this home, so she doesn¡¯t need to worry about eating and drinking, and she has a driver to pick her up and drop her off at school. She really doesn¡¯t have anything special to spend money on. But Zhang Yansheng has had pocket money since the third grade of elementary school. At that time, her mother¡¯s health was getting weaker and weaker, and she began to let Zhang Yansheng manage her pocket money by herself. She touched her head and said, ¡°If your mother is gone in the future, you have to learn how to spend money and manage money by yourself.¡± It¡¯s a pity that she failed her mother¡¯s expectations. Later, she was obsessed with money. She only knew how to spend it, and didn¡¯t really care about money at all. Every time she came back to find Zhang Huan, she would always ask for money. Zhang Huan also felt guilty for her, so he will just give her money if she asked for it. This had brought him peace of mind. Zhang Yansheng paused, got up and walked to the desk to sit down. She opened the shopping website and directly bought Zhang Heling a newest model of the game console. With a flick of the mouse, she said with a cold face: ¡°Okay, I bought it for you, so just wait for the express delivery.¡± Zhang Heling was flattered that Zhang Yansheng suddenly treated her like this compared to the game console itself. ¡°Sister¡­¡± She doesn¡¯t know how to talk anymore, ¡°You, you¡­¡± Zhang Yansheng was afraid that she would say something of gratitude that would give people goosebumps, so she said unceremoniously: ¡°I¡¯m studying, so you should go now!¡± She stood up and pulled Zhang Heling up, pushed her outside, and closed the door. As for the little girl, was she moved or surprised? Does she still think her elder sister is moody? Just let her be. Zhang Yansheng doesn¡¯t care. In her previous life, she cared too much about these people and delayed herself. Thinking about it now, it¡¯s not necessary, it¡¯s really not necessary. People still have to live for themselves. Zhang Shuocheng went to snatch Zhang Heling¡¯s game console, because Zhang Huan lost his temper last night and confiscated his large and small consoles and handheld computer. His computer has a password now and he was not allowed to play. Strictly speaking, what Zhang Shuocheng did at the birthday banquet last night was essentially no different from what he had done before. Zhang Huan used to say a few words to him and the matter would end there. But the incident last night affected Zhang Huan personally, so he was angry and wanted to teach Zhang Shuocheng a lesson. Zhang Huan¡¯s education method only made Zhang Yansheng sneer. She didn¡¯t see Liang Yingying during the meal. Her stepmother, since she entered Zhang¡¯s house and became a wealthy wife, her life has been a fairy life every day. With the servants at home, she doesn¡¯t have to worry about the children eating and drinking, and going to school. She would get beauty sleep at night until she wakes up naturally in the morning. When she wakes up, she goes shopping or meets with her girlfriends to play mahjong. Her life is very comfortable and happy. Zhang Huan also went to the company, so there were only three children from the Zhang family having lunch. At the rectangular dining table, when Zhang Huan was not there, Zhang Yansheng took the main seat honestly and unceremoniously. Zhang Shuocheng is a very picky eater, only picking up what he likes to eat. The aunt next to him told him to eat vegetables, but he wouldn¡¯t listen. Zhang Yansheng doesn¡¯t care about him. He has a mother who was born as a model. At the age of 13, he was already taller than her. And even Zhang Heling, with thin arms and legs. Seeing that her chopsticks wanted to pass over the vegetables and only clip the ones she liked to eat, Zhang Yansheng raised her eyebrows and glanced at her. Zhang Heling hesitated for a moment, and under her sister¡¯s somewhat powerful eyes, she obediently sandwiched a chopstick of vegetables. Zhang Yansheng retracted her gaze and continued to eat. CH 8.2 Enchantress | December 15, 2021 After Zhang Shuocheng finished eating, he wiped his mouth and ran away. He didn¡¯t even say anything nor greet her. This naughty child has been so uneducated in front of Zhang Yansheng. So, she didn¡¯t even bother to give him a look. She also finished eating quickly, wiped her mouth, said ¡°I¡¯m done¡±, then she went upstairs. Zhang Yansheng just arrived on the second floor, when Zhang Shuocheng rushed over with his hands in his stomach. Zhang Yansheng reacted quickly, grabbed him with one hand, and shouted, ¡°What are you doing?¡± Zhang Shuocheng struggled: ¡°Let go of me!¡± When Zhang Shuocheng was 13 years old, he was already taller and stronger than Zhang Yansheng, so a lot of misfortunes had happened. But now, Zhang Shuocheng is only seven years old and he won¡¯t be in the second grade until September. He is only a little devil! Zhang Yansheng could easily hold him with one hand. As soon as he struggled, something bulged from the belly of his clothes and it fell to the ground with a clatter. Zhang Yansheng saw that it was a game console. Fortunately, this one did not directly smash the screen just like Zhang Heling¡¯s. It also shows that this is not Zhang Heling¡¯s game console. Only Zhang Yansheng and Zhang Heling lived on the second floor. Zhang Yansheng raised her eyes to see that the door of her room was opened. Before she went downstairs to eat, she clearly remembered closing the door. Looking down again, a layer of hostility appeared on her face: ¡°You came into my room to steal things?¡± Zhang Shuocheng was caught red-handed by her arch-enemy at home, which in turn is the home of bitter rivals, so he struggled frantically: ¡°Let me go, let go!¡± The other person was small and didn¡¯t have enough strength. Zhang Yansheng grabbed his wrist. He couldn¡¯t break from it, so he tried to bite Zhang Yansheng¡¯s arm just like what he did to Zhang Heling! Zhang Yansheng is comparable to Zhang Heling, a little girl who has no power to bind a chicken. She had quick eyes and quick hands, so she pinched Zhang Shuocheng¡¯s jaw as soon as she reached out her hand! Not only did Zhang Shuocheng¡¯s face hurt, but his mouth couldn¡¯t be opened or closed, so he could only make a ¡®whining¡¯ sound. ¡°You are so courageous!¡± Zhang Yansheng gritted her teeth and said, ¡°You dared to enter my room?¡± This home was invaded by Liang Yingying, and the 10-year-old Zhang Yansheng hated it to death. But she was just a child and she couldn¡¯t do anything about it, even if she was making a lot of noise. She just watched that woman live in the room where her mother used to live, replacing her mother¡¯s place and becoming the hostess of the house. All little Zhang Yansheng could do was retreat to her room. This room became her last pure land, and the mother and son were never allowed to step in it, not even Zhang Huan was allowed to come in. Zhang Shuocheng was so bold. Not only did he dare to enter her room, but also dared to steal her things! It can be seen that in those years, the little Zhang Yansheng¡¯s made a lot of noise, but it was of no use at all except to make her relatives get tired of her. Even Zhang Shuocheng, a naughty child, was not afraid of her. Zhang Yansheng gritted her teeth with hatred. She carried Zhang Shuocheng into the room! Zhang Heling went upstairs a step later than them, and she was stunned when she saw this scene. ¡°Sister? Sister, what are you¡­ doing?¡± The dumbfounded little girl trotted to catch up, and she accidentally kicked something on the ground. When she lowered her head and saw the game console, so she immediately understood everything. ¡°Zhang Shuocheng! Did you enter Sister Yanyan¡¯s room?¡± Zhang Heling was angry and anxious. People really have distant relatives. Even though Zhang Heling wanted to be close to Zhang Yansheng psychologically, she also understood that she and Zhang Shuocheng were born to the same mother. Although she doesn¡¯t know what ¡®sit in a row¡¯ is, she can faintly understand that it means sharing in honor and disgrace. Zhang Shuocheng did bad things, so she was also ashamed. In particular, Sister Yanyan suddenly got better to her. She bought things for her and cared about her. Zhang Heling felt even more embarrassed and angry! She really can¡¯t wait to beat Zhang Shuocheng! The little girl was almost mad to death! Zhang Yansheng stopped moving, glanced at Zhang Heling sharply, and shouted, ¡°You come in too!¡± Zhang Heling bit her lip and followed into Zhang Yansheng¡¯s room. She was uneasy and she didn¡¯t know how the elder sister would attack them. Entering the room, Zhang Yansheng loosened the hand holding Zhang Shuocheng¡¯s jaw. Zhang Shuocheng was like a dog, and he bit Zhang Yansheng¡¯s hand with one mouthful! He¡¯s really small and fierce! Fortunately, Zhang Yansheng was very responsive, so she was able to quickly withdraw her hand before she got bitten. This naughty child has never had a real lesson, he is really not afraid of heaven and earth. Zhang Yansheng smiled angrily, and when she stretched out her hand, she pinched Zhang Shuocheng¡¯s jaw again: ¡°You are not afraid of me, are you? Then, I will teach you a lesson today!¡± She threw Zhang Shuocheng onto the sofa. Zhang Shuocheng rolled and rolled to the ground, keenly feeling that he might not be her opponent, so he immediately got up and wanted to flee. Zhang Yansheng picked him up and threw him on the sofa again. This time she held him down. Ignoring Zhang Shuocheng¡¯s pig-killing howl and yelling for help, she turned to Zhang Heling who was standing at the door and shouted, ¡°Close the door and lock it!¡± Zhang Heling didn¡¯t dare to disobey and locked the door in a panic. With her back to the door, she didn¡¯t dare to go forward. She was so frightened by the way her sister spoke just now that she didn¡¯t dare to move at all. Zhang Yansheng picked up Zhang Shuocheng and went to the cloakroom. She soon came out, holding Zhang Shuocheng in one hand and a wooden hanger in the other. She looked at Zhang Heling with a pale face and sneered: ¡°I will teach you today how to be a sister!¡± As she said that, she raised her hand holding the hanger up. All of a sudden, it landed on Zhang Shuocheng¡¯s fleshy butt! Zhang Shuocheng, a spoiled and lawless brat, was beaten up on the ass by his eldest sister for the first time in his life! CH 9.1 The Zhang family doesn¡¯t hit children. At the very least, Zhang Huan and his late wife didn¡¯t hit their child. Once upon a time, when Zhang Yansheng was the only child in the family, she was really a unique little princess in the sky and on the earth. Beat her? That is impossible. Zhang Yansheng¡¯s mother once watched the news when a parent accidentally killed his child. She sighed with regret: ¡°How can a child fight back?¡± Zhang Yansheng has trained in taekwondo and sanda all year round, and the coaches have repeatedly warned her that people like them who have been trained can¡¯t just do it to others. Under this influence, except for pushing Zhang Heling by mistake when they first met, Zhang Yansheng had never beat them, no matter how much she hated her half-siblings. But what was the result? Later, what did Zhang Shuocheng, who was taller than her, do? Therefore, children still have to be managed. If it develops into a naughty child, it must be beaten if it needs to. This time the wooden hanger was slapped on his buttocks, Zhang Shuocheng let out a horribly exaggerated howl. He shouted like crazy: ¡°It hurts! It hurts! Let me go! You dared to hit me? I¡¯ll kill you!¡± Thinking of what Zhang Shuocheng did when he grew up, Zhang Yansheng felt that he was probably not far from killing people after she died. She sneered, her hand rose and fell, and Zhang Shuocheng¡¯s butt was hit hard again. The naughty child, who had always been arrogant and lawless, screamed again and began to shout for help. There are precautions for beating children. Children are much more vulnerable than adults, so every year, there will be adults who kill their children by mistake in anger. The head, back, and stomach may all cause irreparable damage to the child. Therefore, if you really want to punish a child for his mistakes, the safest thing to beat a child is to do this style of play that has been passed down for thousands of years ¨C spanking the child¡¯s butt. Zhang Yansheng died at a young age, so naturally she would not understand this. But fortunately, she is a person who has learned sanda, and the coach has explained the structure and vulnerable parts of the human body in class. Zhang Yansheng beat Zhang Shuocheng angrily, so she naturally avoided the potentially dangerous area and went straight to his ass. ¡°Do you know what you did wrong?¡± She stopped after hitting him twice and asked. However, even though Zhang Shuocheng was in so much pain that he cried out with tears and snots, he still refused to give up and screamed: ¡°You just wait! When my dad comes back, he¡¯ll kill you!¡± ¡°Your dad¡­¡° Zhang Yansheng sneered, ¡°Before becoming your dad, he has been my dad for eight years.¡± She slapped the naughty child¡¯s ass with a hanger again. Zhang Shuocheng continued to cry and howl, but he refused to admit his mistakes. Zhang Heling felt very happy. Her younger brother should have been beaten up a long time ago, but none of their parents were willing to do it to him. No matter what he did, even if they were angry, they would just end up scolding and punishing him for not being allowed to play the game console. Zhang Shuocheng was no longer afraid. Who would be afraid of such a light punishment? A child is born with the nature of bullying the soft and fearing the hardships, so when adults flinch, he has to push his luck and take advantage of it. Every day goes by like this. Someone should have come a long time ago, like her elder sister, and taught him a lesson! But Zhang Heling was also a little worried. If she beats his brother like this, what should she do when their parents come back and his brother complains? But after another thought, she was not afraid anymore. In this family, although her mother often quarrels with her elder sister, in fact, she can¡¯t do anything to her elder sister. When her dad confronts her sister, he always tries his best to calm things down, and doesn¡¯t want to do anything to her sister, too. Her sister is a person who is not afraid of anyone or anything at home. The more Zhang Heling thought about it, the bolder she became, and her eyes that looked at Zhang Yansheng became brighter and brighter. Suddenly, there was a knock on the door outside the room! ¡°Yanyan! Yanyan! What are you doing?¡± Aunt Luo¡¯s voice rang, ¡°Why is Shuoshuo in your room? What are you doing right now? Why is he crying? Yanyan, open the door!¡± Another voice was much more anxious than Aunt Luo. It was the nanny that¡¯s taking care of Zhang Shuocheng. She knocked on the door hard: ¡°Miss Yanyan! Open the door! What happened to you, Shuoshuo? Shuoshuo! Shuoshuo, are you okay? Shuoshuo? You should say it!¡± With a foreign aid, Zhang Shuocheng yelled: ¡°Help! Help! Zhang Yansheng is going to kill me!¡± When he shouted like this, Zhang Heling became nervous again. She subconsciously left the door panel with her back and raised her hand¡­ ¡°Don¡¯t open the door!¡± Zhang Yansheng shouted sharply! Zhang Heling shivered with fright, but obediently did not open the door. ¡°Yanyan, please open the door!¡± ¡°Miss Yanyan, don¡¯t mess around! Shuoshuo is still young! Don¡¯t beat him! Miss Yanyan! Miss Yanyan! Open the door first! Let¡¯s talk about it!¡± Zhang Shuocheng was being beaten, and the aunt who took care of him was afraid of taking responsibility. She was much more anxious than Aunt Luo, so she slapped the door hard. Zhang Yansheng raised her voice and said, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I only spank his butt, not anywhere else! I have a sense of measure!¡± Although she refused to open the door, her voice sounded calm, not like she was kind of dizzy and lost her sense of propriety. The aunts felt a little relieved, but they still slapped the door vigorously, trying to get Zhang Yansheng to let them in. Zhang Yansheng ignored the knock on the door, then spank Zhang Shuocheng again, and asked him: ¡°Do you know what you did wrong?¡± Zhang Shuocheng was counting on the foreign aid to rescue him, screaming and crying, but didn¡¯t admit his mistake. This perseverance must be used on the right path, not afraid of failing to accomplish great things. It can be used in evil ways, and finally did such a disgusting thing. Zhang Yansheng sneered, then raised her hand. This time, she spanked Zhang Shuocheng three times! Zhang Shuocheng was hurt! With tears and snots, he was crying so much! CH 9.2 ¡°Sister!¡± Zhang Heling, who was lying on the door and listening to the noise outside, said suddenly, ¡°Aunt Wang went to call my mother!¡± Zhang Shuocheng heard it, and the crying paused suddenly. Zhang Yansheng pressed him and said slowly, ¡°Do you think your mother can save you? Where is your mother now? When she woke up, she went shopping and playing mahjong, right? Even if she rushes back immediately, it will take an hour, right? It only takes two seconds for me to spank you. One minute and sixty seconds, one hour and sixty minutes. Come on, count it and see how many times I can spank you in an hour!¡± It¡¯s a bit complicated. Based on Zhang Shuocheng¡¯s first grade math level, it¡¯s not enough. But he knows that the answer is ¡®a lot¡¯, a lot, a lot! Zhang Shuocheng finally began to be afraid. ¡°What if your mother comes back? What if your dad comes back?¡± Zhang Yansheng asked with a smile, ¡°Who do you think I am afraid of in this family? Have you seen who I am afraid of?¡± Zhang Shuocheng thought for a while, Zhang Yansheng seemed¡­ to really not be afraid of anyone. Moreover, it seems that his mom and dad can¡¯t do anything to her. Even if his mom quarrels with her, it seems that she can¡¯t do anything to her. She has never even confiscated her game console! At most, his mother would just hug him and scold Zhang Yansheng secretly. As for his father, he would not do anything to Zhang Yansheng. He would even stiffen his face and tell him: ¡°Listen to your sister.¡± He hasn¡¯t figured it out yet, but got another hard hit on his ass, it hurts so much! Zhang Shuocheng started crying again! Zhang Yansheng¡¯s cellphone rang suddenly. The ringtone came suddenly and shocked Zhang Heling. She walked over and took a look then raised her head: ¡°Sister, it¡¯s Dad¡­¡± Zhang Yansheng said in a deep voice: ¡°Bring it here!¡± Zhang Heling held Zhang Yansheng¡¯s cellphone and sent it over. Zhang Yansheng still pressed Zhang Shuocheng with one hand, and handed the hanger to Zhang Heling: ¡°Take it for me.¡± Zhang Heling immediately grabbed the hanger and handed the cellphone to Zhang Yansheng. Zhang Yansheng answered the call: ¡°Hello.¡± Knowing that the other party is Zhang Huan, she was also indifferent and calm. Zhang Huan¡¯s anxious voice rang on the cellphone: ¡°Yanyan! Yanyan! What are you doing? Are you beating Shuoshuo?¡± Zhang Shuocheng heard Zhang Huan¡¯s voice and immediately screamed, ¡°Dad! Dad¨C! Zhang Yansheng hit me!¡± Zhang Yansheng threw her cellphone on the sofa, and snatched the hanger from Zhang Heling¡¯s hand. Prior to saying a word, ¡®pa pa pa¡¯ came three times first. ¡°Can you just call my name directly? You¡¯re not polite!¡± Zhang Yansheng said, ¡°Also, when others are talking on the phone, don¡¯t you know that you have to be quiet? Go and try it again! I¡¯ll hit you when you do it again!¡± As she said that, she gave Zhang Shuocheng¡¯s ass another spank. Zhang Shuocheng closed his mouth tearfully. Zhang Heling picked up the cellphone with great skill, took the hanger, and handed the cellphone over. She was her sister¡¯s little sidekick. Zhang Yansheng put the cellphone to her ear: ¡°Dad, what did you just say? Zhang Shuocheng screamed, so I didn¡¯t hear it clearly.¡± Zhang Huan was speechless for a moment and said, ¡°He is young, you don¡¯t know him well. Yanyan, let him go first. Wait for Dad to go back and clean him up at night.¡± Zhang Yansheng said slowly and rationally: ¡°Aren¡¯t you busy? Let me do it. I have nothing to do during the summer vacation anyway.¡± Zhang Huan still knows a little bit about her own daughter. She is stubborn and has a big temper. If she admits to death, it is really hard to move her. He can only retreat and settle for the next best thing: ¡°Well then, take it easy, you have been well-trained in sanda. He is young! Don¡¯t break him!¡± ¡°It¡¯s not bad, don¡¯t worry. I¡¯ve trained a lot and I know how far to go and when to stop.¡± Zhang Yansheng said, ¡°I only spank him, I did not touch anywhere else, and there will never be a safety problem.¡± There were a few seconds of silence on the other end of the call, before Zhang Huan¡¯s long ¡°Oh¨C¡± sounded. ¡°Only spanking his butt?¡± He asked again, ¡°Not anywhere else?¡± ¡°Yes.¡± Zhang Yansheng said, ¡°If you hit the head, back, or abdomen, it will be dangerous. Even the legs are not good. Children and the elderly are prone to fractures. There are also large arteries on the thighs, which can be life-threatening if ruptured. The only place you can hit a child is on the butt. Don¡¯t worry, Heling is watching here, and I won¡¯t mess up.¡± Since Liang Yingying entered their family, Zhang Yansheng has become increasingly extreme, as if she hadn¡¯t spoken to him so calmly for a long time. No, it seems that she has been a little bit different since last night. Although Zhang Yansheng¡¯s cold but calm voice gave Zhang Huan a bit of confidence, he coughed and said, ¡°Well then, you just need to hit him twice. Ah, don¡¯t be too heavy.¡± Zhang Yansheng was a little surprised. Her explanation was actually a bit sarcastic, and she thought Zhang Huan was so anxious, but the result was not what she expected. Zhang Yansheng was silent for a second and said: ¡°I know.¡± Before Zhang Huan hung up the call, he also said: ¡°He is too naughty and he should also be controlled¡­¡± From beginning to end, he didn¡¯t even ask what Zhang Shuocheng had done. ¡°Did you hear that?¡± Zhang Yansheng dropped the cellphone and asked Zhang Shuocheng, ¡°Who will come to save you?¡± She took the hanger from Zhang Heling¡¯s hand and asked slowly: ¡°Do you know your mistake?¡± Zhang Shuocheng¡¯s face was full of tears and snots, he was afraid and hated Zhang Yansheng, and his eyes were full of despair. Aunt Wang, who took care of Zhang Shuocheng, ran back to the second floor after calling both Zhang Huan and Liang Yingying. Aunt Luo was sticking her ears to the door and listening. Aunt Wang listened for a while, Zhang Shuocheng didn¡¯t seem to cry or scream anymore? She hurriedly tugged at Aunt Luo: ¡°What happened?¡± Aunt Luo put a finger on her lips: ¡°Shh¨C¡± She said, ¡°Shuoshuo just admitted his mistake¡­¡± CH 10.1 Enchantress | December 17, 2021 Liang Yingying and Zhang Huan arrived home. Liang Yingying immediately called Zhang Huan when she received Aunt Wang¡¯s call. But Aunt Wang called Zhang Huan after calling her, so Liang Yingying got a busy tone when she called him. Zhang Huan immediately called Zhang Yansheng after hanging up from Aunt Wang¡¯s call. So when Liang Yingying dialed his number the second time, the line was busy again. In this case, it is especially easy for someone to get angry. When Liang Yingying¡¯s call finally connected to Zhang Huan¡¯s phone, the sharp voice almost pierced Zhang Huan¡¯s eardrum. Zhang Huan let out a groan and said angrily: ¡°Why are you calling?! Because Yanyan hits Shuoshuo? I know, I already called Yanyan. Everything is fine.¡± Liang Yingying cried, ¡°You actually said it¡¯s okay? Shuoshuo has never been beaten by anyone since he was born! Your daughter is already 15! How old is Shuoshuo? What should I do if he¡¯s hurt so badly? He is your son!¡± Zhang Huan said, ¡°He will not be badly beaten. I talked to Yanyan on the phone. Yanyan promised me and she just spanked him. Don¡¯t worry, Yanyan has a sense of propriety.¡± Zhang Yansheng, who is now 15 years old, has not dyed her hair, has no tattoos, does not smoke or drink, and does not play truant. Although she often had a small fight with Liang Yingying for three days and a big fight for five days. As a person who had been trained in taekwondo and sanda for a long time, she had never raised her hands on someone she hated so much. In Zhang Huan¡¯s heart, Zhang Yansheng is still a good girl. Her performance in front of her elders last night was particularly filial and decent. His own mother praised his daughter for having grown up being sensible. Therefore, Zhang Huan still has some confidence in Zhang Yansheng, much greater than the confidence he had in Zhang Shuocheng. In fact, when he received a call and heard that Zhang Shuocheng was being beaten by Zhang Yansheng, he felt that he must have deserved it without asking why. Zhang Shuocheng was beaten, but Zhang Huan chose to believe Zhang Yansheng? Liang Yingying almost died of anger. She had already noticed that although Zhang Yansheng was a money-losing commodity, she still had some weight in Zhang Huan¡¯s heart. What Liang Yingying couldn¡¯t be angrier with was this. In her heart, this family should belong to Zhang Shuocheng in the future. Why let Zhang Yansheng, a girl, occupy such a large area in Zhang Huan¡¯s heart? Will she have to share the family¡¯s properties with Zhang Shoucheng in the future? But Liang Yingying didn¡¯t dare to lose her temper to Zhang Huan. She is the mistress in charge, relying on having a son. If she hadn¡¯t given birth to a son, she might have been raised outside with Zhang Heling all along. Zhang Huan is the husband and the gold master. Liang Yingying cried and forced Zhang Huan to go home immediately. Zhang Huan couldn¡¯t help but be a little worried, too. He left the company and went home after he hung up the call. The two of them came back one after the other. As soon as Zhang Huan entered the door, he heard Zhang Shuocheng howling and Liang Yingying cursing in the hall. But the upstairs was quiet, and Zhang Yansheng didn¡¯t show her face at all. Liang Yingying cursed and swore. Zhang Huan frowned and shouted, ¡°What are you talking about?! Pay attention to your words!¡± Liang Yingying just closed her mouth. In front of Zhang Huan, she still pays attention to her image and does not swear. Immediately, she changed to a teary-eyed pears flower with rain look, crying miserably: ¡°Look at Shoushou¡¯s butt. He has grown so big, but I have never beaten him like this¡­¡± As she said this, she started to cry. Zhang Huan said to Zhang Shuocheng, ¡°Take off your pants and show it to your father.¡± Zhang Shuocheng was counting on his parents to avenge him. He immediately bent over, rolled his shorts and underwear down to his ankles, and took them off naked! Zhang Heling, who was peeking at the corner of the stairs, immediately covered her eyes. Zhang Huan: ¡°¡­¡± Zhang Huan checked and found that Zhang Shuocheng did have a lot of red marks on his butt. It should have hurt a lot at the time. But they were just red marks, not to mention hurting the muscles and bones, even the skin wasn¡¯t broken a bit. Zhang Huan was relieved. ¡°It¡¯s okay. His ass was just spanked.¡± He said. Liang Yingying couldn¡¯t cry anymore. Is this still a human talk? It was his own son who was beaten! Liang Yingying stopped on the spot: ¡°Why did she beat my son?! How old is she?! Shuoshuo is only a little older! Ah! This is child abuse!¡± Zhang Huan asked Zhang Shuocheng, ¡°What did you do to upset your sister?¡± Zhang Shuocheng hesitated. He knew that there was something wrong. Zhang Huan glanced upstairs, just in time to see Zhang Heling poking her head at the stairs, he shouted, ¡°Hehe, go and call your sister down.¡± Zhang Heling quickly ran upstairs and knocked on the door: ¡°Sister! Mom and Dad are back! Zhang Shuocheng was accusing you of beating him! Sister! Dad told me to call you down.¡± The door opened with a squeak. ¡°Got it.¡± Zhang Yansheng frowned, ¡°What are you doing in such a panic? Be steady.¡± Zhang Heling stuck out her tongue and went downstairs behind Zhang Yansheng. When she got downstairs, Zhang Yansheng was disgusted when she caught a glimpse of Liang Yingying¡¯s resentment, and directly looked away. ¡°Dad, you hit her, hit her!¡± Zhang Shuocheng shook Zhang Huan¡¯s arm bitterly, hoping that Zhang Huan would avenge him. At this moment, his parents were all present, and he became a naughty boy again, not afraid of heaven and earth. Zhang Huan said to Zhang Yansheng solemnly: ¡°What happened? Why did you hit your brother? If he did something wrong, you should speak to him properly as an older sister.¡± Here we go again, in a gentle tone, he¡¯s trying to smooth things over. Zhang Yansheng remembered in a daze. Indeed, at this time, Zhang Huan still had a hesitant attitude, and neither side would help. Later, she herself became more and more unsightly, so Zhang Huan gradually began to stand on Liang Yingying¡¯s side. CH 10.2 Enchantress | December 17, 2021 Zhang Yansheng narrowed her thoughts and glanced at Zhang Shuocheng, who was snuggling next to Zhang Huan. The child¡¯s intuition is really sensitive, and he knows very well who is the one who really speaks in this family. ¡°Zhang Shuocheng.¡± She said, ¡°Tell everyone what you did.¡± As soon as she spoke, her cold tone made Zhang Shuocheng tremble, so he immediately grabbed Zhang Huan by the corner of his clothes, and came back with energy: ¡°I didn¡¯t do anything!¡± Zhang Heling couldn¡¯t help but yell out: ¡°You are talking nonsense! You have already admitted to elder sister that you made a mistake!¡± Liang Yingying slapped her shoulders and glared at her: ¡°Shut up! Move aside!¡± The stupid girl couldn¡¯t speak at all, and didn¡¯t know which side she should be on. The strength under the adult¡¯s impatience is still very painful for a little girl. Zhang Yansheng clearly saw Zhang Heling¡¯s mouth flattened, and tears of grievance hung in her eyes. Zhang Yansheng was furious! Her bad temper could not be changed in a day or two after being reborn. It will still explode when it¡¯s time to explode. She pulled Zhang Heling behind her, and her volume suddenly increased: ¡°What are you doing?!¡± Liang Yingying was not afraid of the 15-year-old Zhang Yansheng. This girl¡¯s teachers are so good, she can¡¯t even swear. If it weren¡¯t for Zhang Huan¡¯s scruples, Liang Yingying could have cursed her with profanity for three days and three nights. Moreover, she doesn¡¯t do anything physical, she only raises her voice when she is angry, and she knows neither how to take advantage of the situation nor how to show weakness. In fact, Liang Yingying had already noticed that the noisier Zhang Yansheng was, the farther Zhang Huan stayed away from her and closer to herself. Therefore, she often deliberately made small moves to make her lose her temper, making Zhang Huan dislike her more and more. Liang Yingying raised her eyebrows and said provocatively, ¡°I teach my own daughter, what¡¯s wrong with that? My daughter has a mother, and if she makes a mistake, her mother has to take care of her.¡± Liang Yingying also stretched out her hand to pull Zhang Heling, trying to pull her out from behind Zhang Yansheng, and teach the dead girl a good lesson in front of Zhang Yansheng. Let her know the difference between having a mother and not having a mother! This is really harsh, even Zhang Huan frowned. He was about to scold Liang Yingying, but suddenly saw Zhang Yansheng make a lightning move and directly choked Liang Yingying¡¯s throat! Zhang Huan watched his little wife¡¯s body fly in an arc, and was pressed on the sofa by his eldest daughter with one hand holding her throat! Liang Yingying had lost her voice before she could even scream. Her body became light for a moment, and finally fell into the sofa. The hand on her neck is like iron pliers. She grabbed Zhang Yansheng¡¯s wrist and wanted to break from her, but she couldn¡¯t break from her at all. Zhang Yansheng strangled her with one hand and pinned her firmly on the sofa. How could a 15-year-old girl have such strength? Everyone was taken aback, including the aunts who were secretly watching at the entrance of the stairs and in the hallway. Zhang Huan was also dumbfounded. His daughter has been training in taekwondo and sanda since she was a child, so she often came back home with awards when she was young. But she was not this good, right? Liang Yingying was born with a model-like body, so she is taller than Zhang Yansheng! Just now, Zhang Yansheng¡¯s instantaneous explosive power made people¡¯s hearts stop for a moment. After this moment was over, Zhang Huan still opened his mouth but did not react. Zhang Heling was also stupid. The first person to react turned out to be Zhang Shuocheng. He screamed ¡°You let go of my mother,¡± and instinctively rushed towards Zhang Yansheng. Zhang Yansheng stretched out her empty hand, grabbed his shoulder and flicked it. Zhang Shuocheng turned around in a circle before he could react, and threw himself on the other sofa, dumbfounded. Zhang Heling yelled, ¡°Sister!¡± Zhang Huan was awakened from the dream, then he stood up suddenly and stretched out his hand: ¡°What are you doing, what are you doing? Yanyan, Yanyan! Let go first, let her go!¡± Zhang Yansheng shouted: ¡°Don¡¯t come here!¡± Although she was only a young girl, Zhang Huan was shocked by her imposing manner. Zhang Huan stretched his arms and hands, but he dared not to step forward. Liang Yingying couldn¡¯t breathe in oxygen, her mouth was open, and she swooped indiscriminately with her hands. But as Zhang Yansheng increased her strength, she could only roll her eyes while holding Zhang Yansheng¡¯s wrist. It looks scary. ¡°Do your children have a mother?¡± Zhang Yansheng sneered, ¡°Then why don¡¯t I see their mother takes care of them?¡± ¡°What did your son do today? He ran into my room and stole my stuff!¡± ¡°Do you think that a game console is not a thing? A game console costs several thousand yuan, and the crime of stealing can be sentenced to three years. Why don¡¯t you care about this issue?¡± ¡°But when Zhang Heling tells the truth, you¡¯re going to beat and scold her? You even dare to show your authority in front of me?¡± ¡°Let me tell you! This house will be mine one day. You will never have a chance to reveal your prestige!¡± ¡°Zhang Heling did nothing wrong. If you dare to hit her, I will hit you ten times!¡± ¡°Zhang Shuocheng did something wrong, but you can¡¯t see and disregard it. It doesn¡¯t matter if you don¡¯t care, I will take care of it for you as a sister!¡± ¡°Just remember that from now on, if you dare to mention ¡®there is no mother or without a mother¡¯ in front of me again, I will let your children become motherless!¡± How stupid she used to be, because she always quarreled with Liang Yingying and was angry, she didn¡¯t like to go home. When she was in high school, she started to study badly, played truant and missed her classes, and didn¡¯t go home for three days. Later, when she got older, she didn¡¯t come back for a few months and half a year. This house, this home, has completely changed from her home to Liang Yingying¡¯s home. The dove occupies the magpie¡¯s nest! This is obviously a home where she was born and raised, full of memories with her mother everywhere! How can it be given to others?! Who is Liang Yingying? Her mother passed away, so she, Zhang Yansheng, is now the hostess of this family! CH 11 The young lady originally had deep facial features, and she was born with neat eyebrows and piercing eyes. But because of her youthfulness, her skin was as white as a boiled egg that was peeled off, and her body was slender, weakening her look. But when her eyebrows were full of hostility at this time, the delicate girlish feeling on her body faded, and her sharpness was aggressive. Everyone in the house was shocked, and no one dared to step forward. But Liang Yingying watched as she rolled her eyes and stuck her tongue out, as if she was going to die. Zhang Yansheng¡¯s appearance was too scary. As the head of the family, Zhang Huan finally opened his mouth and shouted: ¡°Yanyan! Yanyan! Let go first!¡± Zhang Yansheng also saw Liang Yingying¡¯s dying appearance, so she retracted her hand and stood up. The peak of her anger passed and her calmness was restored. She just stood there watching coldly, not as excited and noisy as before, but the pressure onto people is much greater than before. Liang Yingying clutched her throat and inhaled vigorously, but was choked by the large amount of air entering her trachea, and coughed ¡°Ahem, ahem, ahem, ahem¡±. Zhang Shuocheng was scared a long time ago. Zhang Huan and Zhang Heling helped her sit up. One of the high heels on her foot fell off, her hair style was messed up, making her embarrassed. She tremblingly pointed at Zhang Yansheng, and finally managed to calm down. She cried out and yelled at Zhang Huan: ¡°Your daughter! Your daughter wants to kill me! She wants to kill me!¡± Zhang Huan said angrily: ¡°Who told you to talk nonsense!¡± After all, she is the person who shares his bed, who is so charming and fascinating, whom he married and took home, and did a good job of supporting and following him. Liang Yingying almost spit out a mouthful of old blood, crying and trembling: ¡°I almost died¡­¡± ¡°You can¡¯t die.¡± Zhang Yansheng said, ¡°For you, it is not worth it if you lose your life.¡± ¡°It¡¯s just that in the future, I don¡¯t want to hear people always making noise in this house.¡± She glanced over Zhang Shuocheng, and said coldly, ¡°In the future, you have to be honest with me.¡± Zhang Shuocheng shuddered. His ¡®three views¡¯1 were really affected today. In his world, as long as his parents are there, he can be lawless, so he has never been afraid of Zhang Yansheng. But today, Zhang Yansheng broke his world, and for the first time he had the idea that his parents were unreliable. Zhang Yansheng¡¯s cold eyes swept over Liang Yingying again: ¡°If you don¡¯t know how to speak well, then just shut your mouth! If you let me hear something bad again, you¡¯ll be responsible for the consequences.¡± After Zhang Yansheng finished speaking, she didn¡¯t look at these people again, she turned around to go upstairs. Zhang Heling hesitated, caught up, ran a few steps, then turned around, and said, ¡°Dad, since you took and locked Shuoshuo¡¯s game console, he came to grab mine and broke it. Then while my sister was eating lunch, he went to my sister¡¯s room and stole her game console, but she caught him on the spot. He has already confessed it all himself. He had already admitted his mistake with elder sister. Now, he¡¯s denying that he stole from her! Liang Yingying grabbed her high-heeled shoe on the ground and threw it: ¡°Shut up!¡± Zhang Heling was frightened and avoided the shoe. If Liang Yingying had yelled at her like this, she would have been sad and wronged. But today, her emotions don¡¯t seem to be that strong anymore. Her mother didn¡¯t seem to be that powerful in her heart. She turned around and ran upstairs. Liang Yingying cried again and dragged Zhang Huan: ¡°You have to say something, look at how arrogant your daughter is. Does she have to treat her elders like this? Why can¡¯t I scold her as a stepmother? A stepmother is also a mother!¡± Zhang Huan who was not in a good mood said: ¡°Just shut up for me. Don¡¯t mention this in the future, you are poking Yanyan¡¯s heart. If you really dare to say that she strangled you, then don¡¯t come crying to me. She has trained a lot and holds a black belt now. He pointed to Zhang Shuocheng again: ¡°Go and return to your room. Where is Aunt Wang? Aunt Wang!¡± Aunt Wang hid in the corridor and kept watching. After hearing him shout, she hurriedly ran out: ¡°Sir, I¡¯m here.¡± Zhang Huan said, ¡°Take him back to his room and monitor him! How much homework did he do during the summer vacation? You make sure to attentively watch him write!¡± Zhang Shuocheng¡¯s face collapsed when he heard about his summer homework. Aunt Wang went over and dragged him, tugged him and dragged him upstairs. ¡°Go up, wash your face, and clean up.¡± Zhang Huan said, ¡°Don¡¯t let people see you making a fool out of yourself.¡± Liang Yingying¡¯s skirt was also wrinkled, her hair was messy, she only had one shoe on her feet, and her face was full of makeup, which looks terrible now. Liang Yingying¡¯s face turned pale with anger: ¡°You really don¡¯t care?¡± ¡°What do I have to care about? If you take care of your own mouth, I won¡¯t have to worry about anything. How old is Yanyan and how old are you? Why do you have to fight and get angry with a child all day long?¡± Zhang Huan said impatiently. Liang Yingying was startled. She is a type of person who relies on men to eat, and she is keenly aware of the subtle change in Zhang Huan¡¯s attitude. She felt a little bitter in her heart and began to reflect on what she had been doing as Mrs. Zhang for a few years, and she was a little bit floating. She hurriedly adjusted her attitude, and said softly and aggrieved: ¡°Then she can¡¯t do it either. Take a look, take a look, are there a red marks on my neck?¡± Pouting her mouth and acting like a baby, his attitude obviously softened. Zhang Huan bought her trick and really looked at it and said, ¡°Nothing, there¡¯s nothing, how strong can Yanyan be? There is no trace at all.¡± In fact, there are really red marks, and the traces of the hand strangulation that can be seen are a bit shocking. Zhang Huan was unwilling to say it. After all, didn¡¯t he set up a ladder for Liang Yingying to let her climb up? So, he just need to coax her. Liang Yingying was relieved when his attitude softened. The reason why Liang Yingying dared to provoke and secretly bully Zhang Yansheng in the past was because Zhang Huan didn¡¯t particularly defend Zhang Yansheng, so she became more and more courageous. Now that Zhang Huan¡¯s attitude suddenly became subtle, Liang Yingying instinctively restraint herself. She sobbed intermittently while going upstairs. Zhang Huan breathed a sigh of relief. He circled around the hall and went to the second floor. Both daughters live on the second floor, and the only son lives on the third floor with the couple. Zhang Huan came up and saw that the doors of his daughters¡¯ rooms were tightly closed. He went over and knocked on Zhang Yansheng¡¯s door: ¡°Yanyan, it¡¯s Dad. Yanyan?¡± Soon, Zhang Yansheng came over and opened the door. But she stood at the door and didn¡¯t mean to invite Zhang Huan in. ¡°If you¡¯re here to speak for your little wife, it¡¯s not necessary.¡± She said coldly. Zhang Huan was once again surprised by Zhang Yansheng¡¯s attitude. In the past, Zhang Yansheng was always full of resentment and grudges. As long as the topic involves Liang Yingying, she can easily get angry and agitated. He couldn¡¯t talk to her properly at all. But she just graduated from middle school, so why did she suddenly seem to have grown into a big girl? Although her expression was a little colder, the intense emotions that were always ready to erupt seemed to be gone. This was a relief for Zhang Huan. He kept a woman outside before his wife died, and gave birth to illegitimate children, which was done unorthodoxly. He is not completely unscrupulous, and feels a little guilty for his daughter. Zhang Yansheng¡¯s emotions will activate this kind of guilt. But who wants to tremble in conscience every day? Of course, Zhang Huan didn¡¯t want to live in guilt every day. He is nearly half a hundred years old, and he just wants to live easily. Zhang Yansheng is an adolescent child, she is angry, she resents, she abhors. Adolescence has doubled and magnified these emotions, and Zhang Huan has felt that Zhang Yansheng has become more and more difficult to communicate in the past two years. Now that she has grown up and figured it out by herself, it couldn¡¯t be better. ¡°No.¡± Zhang Huan said with a smile, ¡°She has a loudmouth, so she deserves it. I won¡¯t speak for her. Hey, let Dad in, let¡¯s have a chat between a father and a daughter.¡± Zhang Huan was surprised by Zhang Yansheng¡¯s changes, and Zhang Yansheng was also surprised by Zhang Huan¡¯s attitude. In her memory, Zhang Huan had never actively communicated with her at this stage. He always looked like he had a headache when he sees her, so he always wanted to escape. Zhang Yansheng was silent for a while, then turned around and let Zhang Huan in. Zhang Huan and Zhang Yansheng sat down on the sofa. ¡°Why are you a little bit grumpy today?¡± Zhang Huan said, ¡°Although your Aunt Liang is young, she is an elder anyway, so you can¡¯t do anything to your elders.¡± Zhang Yansheng raised her eyebrows: ¡°Liang Yingying wants to be my elder? In her next life. You heard what she said as well, she asked for it, so I strangled her.¡± Zhang Huan coughed: ¡°She is just an outspoken person¡­¡± ¡°If she can¡¯t speak well, then shut her up.¡± Zhang Yansheng¡¯s eyebrows were hostile again. ¡°My mother passed away. Does a mistress like her deserve to mention it? She has a big face. Since she doesn¡¯t want a face, then don¡¯t blame me for not giving her any face.¡± This is not only to not give Liang Yingying a face, as this doesn¡¯t give Zhang Huan a face as well. Zhang Huan cleared his throat and asked again, ¡°What happened to Shuoshuo today? Hehe said he took your game console.¡± ¡°That¡¯s why I beat him up.¡± ¡°He is still young¡­¡± When Zhang Huan said this, he suddenly saw Zhang Yansheng glanced at him. Those dark eyes, with faint eyes, seemed to be full of ridicule. Zhang Huan became inexplicably uncomfortable. ¡°Do you know that he is much taller than his peers?¡± Zhang Yansheng asked. This is something Zhang Huan is proud of, and said, ¡°His mother is tall.¡± ¡°I guess he will be taller than me when he reaches middle school.¡± Zhang Yansheng said, ¡°He¡¯ll be tall and strong, just like an adult.¡± Zhang Huan was happy: ¡°I predict that he will have to grow to more than 1.85 meters in the future.¡± Zhang Yansheng said: ¡°Then have you ever thought about what he will look like in the future?¡± Zhang Huan said, ¡°He must be like me. There are no ugly people in our family, and your brother will definitely be handsome in the future.¡± Zhang Yansheng held back her breath and said, ¡°He is only in the first grade now, but he already dares to steal things.¡± ¡°Hey, how can you say you¡¯re stealing in your own home?¡± ¡°If you don¡¯t ask and just take it, then it¡¯s stealing. I learned it in Chinese studies when I was in elementary school!¡± Zhang Yansheng said angrily, ¡°Besides, can he enter my room?¡± The topic of the room involved the sensitive territorial consciousness of adolescent girls, and Zhang Huan talked to her again: ¡°I¡¯ll scold him later.¡± Zhang Yansheng declared that Zhang Huan didn¡¯t listen to her words at all. He is a middle-aged man and has a son, and he really spoils Zhang Shuocheng a bit. He is actually a father who doesn¡¯t like to participate in parenting. In the past, Zhang Yansheng¡¯s childhood was full of her mother¡¯s figure. Zhang Huan only took her to show her face after she was dressed up, or when relatives and friends talked about their children, mentioning her academic performance and various awards to show off. He is a widowed parenting puppet. However, not every wife can raise her children as carefully as Zhang Yansheng¡¯s mother. Zhang Yansheng once heard Liang Yingying point to the tip of her children¡¯s noses and said, ¡°I found a rich father for you, who let you live in a big house, let you go to a private school, and let you be picked up by a car. It¡¯s really worth it.¡± For Liang Yingying, the struggle to become ¡®Mrs. Zhang¡¯ has come to an end. There is no need to work hard. The next thing about life is enjoyment. As for the children? Isn¡¯t there a nanny? There is no need to worry about them if someone takes care of them. With such a pair of parents, it is a miracle that Zhang Heling did not grow crooked. But what about Zhang Shuocheng? Adolescent boys have the same height and weight as adults. When he lifted the female teacher¡¯s skirt, Zhang Huan said that he is still young. When he blocked a female classmate outside the school to harass her, Zhang Huan said that he is still young. When he finally became a rapist later, Zhang Huan could no longer say the words ¡®he is still young¡¯. Three views generally refer to the world, life outlook, and values, which is perceived by most as people¡¯s Three Views. Their dialectical unity, interaction, lofty sublime are Three Views pursuit of goals. CH 12 Zhang Huan spent a lot of money to settle that matter. At that time, he was already more than half a hundred years old, and his mental and physical strength were going downhill, which was completely incomparable with what he is now. But he has no successor. Among the three children, the eldest daughter was rebellious and was fooling around outside, the second daughter was too introverted and he didn¡¯t see any strengths in her personality, so she couldn¡¯t hold herself in front of her elders. The baby son really grew up into a trash and scumbag. At that time, Zhang Huan finally admitted that his son had been ruined. He had a lot of gray hairs on his sideburns at that time, and he looked much older than he is now. Over the years, he still had the idea of ??competing with Zhang Yansheng¡¯s uncle. But by that time, he had almost completely given up. None of the three children in the family can compare to Zhang Yansheng¡¯s elder cousin. None of them could reach Grandma Zhang¡¯s eyes and get her attention. Zhang Yansheng thought maliciously, if Zhang Huan at that time was also reborn and returned to the present, would he regret it? Will he be inspired to discipline Zhang Shuocheng? However, Zhang Huan obviously does not have this thought. He still left all the children¡¯s affairs to women just like before, and the woman he¡¯s with now has no idea on how to properly educate the children. Zhang Huan was not reborn, but Zhang Yansheng was, so she couldn¡¯t leave it alone. She didn¡¯t want to care about Zhang Shuocheng¡¯s death, but she couldn¡¯t sit back and watch Zhang Shuocheng repeat that life and hurt innocent girls. Zhang Yansheng heard that the girl committed suicide twice later and suffered from severe depression. Her life was basically ruined by Zhang Shuocheng. Zhang Yansheng couldn¡¯t just ignore it completely. No matter how annoying Zhang Shuocheng can be, she needs to get involved to control him. ¡°Now that he steals things, you think that he is still young.¡± Zhang Yansheng said, ¡°When he commits murder or arson and even rape someone in the future, then you won¡¯t think that he is young anymore.¡± Zhang Huan was displeased and said, ¡°What nonsense are you talking about?¡± Zhang Yansheng stared at him and said, ¡°If your son continues to be like this, what kind of person do you think he will grow into? Is he going to be a successor to socialism? I¡¯m telling you, if this continues, you will regret it sooner or later.¡± Zhang Huan felt that Zhang Yansheng was exaggerating. Zhang Shuocheng is indeed a little naughty, but he is not that young anymore. But Zhang Huan also felt that what Zhang Yansheng said was not unreasonable. In theory, everyone knows that strict teaching can produce good children. In fact, not everyone can do it. Especially last night, Zhang Shuocheng let him lose a big face at his aunt¡¯s birthday banquet. Zhang Huan rubbed his chin and said, ¡°But he is indeed a bit too naughty. His mother is not very good at taking care of children. Anyway, you are their sister, so just take care of them. You are the eldest daughter. As the saying goes, the eldest sister is like a mother. I think you are in good control today, and you have a good sense of propriety.¡± The more he thought about it, the more it got better. Zhang Huan simply patted the sofa: ¡°It¡¯s very good, very good, you will control him like this in the future.¡± Zhang Yansheng was stunned. She really thought that Zhang Huan would defend Zhang Shuocheng no matter what and would not let her interfere. But Zhang Huan not only supported her, she could see that he even became very emotional because of this. ¡°I will discipline your son, but will your wife be willing?¡± she sneered. ¡°Well¡­¡± Zhang Huan rubbed his chin again, his mood was indeed very good, ¡°I think you managed him very well today, you really have a bit of your mother¡¯s posture.¡± Zhang Yansheng suddenly became irritated: ¡°Don¡¯t mention my mother!¡± Putting her mother and Liang Yingying together again, Zhang Yansheng was really about to explode. ¡°I won¡¯t, I won¡¯t.¡± Zhang Huan knows when to stop. ¡°You also have to control your emotions. If you can¡¯t do it in the future, then don¡¯t raise your hands on her. You scared her this time, I think she will not come after you in the future. Her courage is actually very small.¡± Zhang Yansheng didn¡¯t answer, just looked at Zhang Huan faintly. In her previous life, she had clashed with Liang Yingying many times and quarreled with her so many times. When did Zhang Huan take the initiative to come and chat with her and make friends? Today, she raised her hand in anger, suppressing Liang Yingying¡¯s momentum in one fell swoop, and Zhang Huan came immediately. She finally understood that Zhang Huan¡¯s mentality was like this. For Zhang Huan, the contradiction between the eldest daughter and the little wife is irreconcilable, and he knows it well. These two women live together, either the east wind overwhelms the west wind, or the west wind overwhelms the east wind. Zhang Huan didn¡¯t actually care who overwhelmed who. Whether it is the daughter who suppressed the wife or the wife who suppressed the daughter, they are all living in this home, and they can neither be beaten or abused. It¡¯s just that one person is happier and the other is less happy. But for Zhang Huan, as long as one of them can completely subdue the other, he can gain peace. Quietness is harmony. Harmony is happiness. As for who crushes whom, he doesn¡¯t care. He just wants his quietness, harmony and happiness. As long as one of them can control the situation, keep the house quiet, and let him relax, he will be fully satisfied. It¡¯s just that in the previous life, how could the young Zhang Yansheng be able to suppress Liang Yingying. Later, she gradually grew up and became more and more extreme. It became clear to Zhang Huan that if she overpowered Liang Yingying, then he would not think about living a quiet life. So later on, Zhang Huan stood on Liang Yingying¡¯s side instead. The former Zhang Yansheng couldn¡¯t understand her father¡¯s mentality as a man at all. He hoped that all the women in the family could have cordial relationships, and he hoped that one woman could help him manage the other women and bring him peace and harmony. But now that Zhang Yansheng returned to this time, she went to see everyone again, to see their relationships, and to see those subtle attitudes. Suddenly, she had an insight into Zhang Huan¡¯s mentality. Once, the young Zhang Yansheng felt so angry that her father had not supported her unconditionally. Her many extreme behaviors were just to make him look at her more and care about her more. But this man is actually so selfish, he just wants to live that ¡®harmonious¡¯ life in his mind. Zhang Yansheng once again felt that her former self was too ridiculous and unworthy. Her daughter¡¯s gaze made Zhang Huan a little awkward, and always felt like she¡¯s creepy, not resembling a child. ¡°That¡¯s it¡­¡± Zhang Huan coughed and stood up, ¡°Don¡¯t mind them for now. Rest early, I will go upstairs first.¡± After comforting his daughter, he felt that he was a great father, so he planned to retreat now. He didn¡¯t know that the eldest daughter had completely given up on him this time. Zhang Yansheng really doesn¡¯t feel anything for this man anymore. She watched him as he was about to leave, but she suddenly stopped him. ¡°Zhang Heling is going to be in fourth grade soon and should have pocket money.¡± She said, ¡°When I was in third grade, my mother let me start taking care of my pocket money by myself.¡± Zhang Huan still has an impression of this matter. At that time, his wife told him, ¡°I don¡¯t know when will I give up. You are not a person who can take care of your children. It¡¯s time for Yanyan to learn how to manage money by herself.¡± Back then, he gently comforted his wife who had lost a lot of hair due to chemotherapy. Later, the eldest daughter began to manage her own pocket money. She seems to have been managing well. Zhang Huan was just a little surprised. The eldest daughter really seemed to have grown up overnight. She can not only teach her younger brother, suppress her stepmother, but also care about her younger sister. Isn¡¯t this the family and beauty he wants to see? ¡°Okay, then I¡­¡± Zhang Huan pondered for a while. In the past, Zhang Yansheng ignored Zhang Heling at all. What a great opportunity for the sisters to love each other. He said: ¡°I¡¯m busy, why don¡¯t you do this, you get a card for your sister, and you take care of her spending money. What do you think?¡± ¡°I can do it.¡± Zhang Yansheng said, ¡°Then you will give me another 50,000 a month.¡± ¡°Okay.¡± Zhang Huan agreed, ¡°Hehe is still young, don¡¯t let her spend too much money.¡± ¡°Since you leave it to me, don¡¯t worry about it.¡± Zhang Yansheng sneered, ¡°Warn your little wife that our family does not beat children, except Zhang Shuocheng, tell her not to slap and pinch Zhang Heling. Tell her to put away her rural behavior as soon as possible.¡± Zhang Huan was also not satisfied with Liang Yingying either. Indeed, as Zhang Yansheng said, it has an earthy taste. There is no way for her to match him. He didn¡¯t care about his children before. But when Zhang Yansheng said this today, he suddenly felt that Liang Yingying being a mother was not able to teach his daughter well, and didn¡¯t take care of his son as well. He immediately became very dissatisfied with Liang Yingying. In the past, Liang Yingying was kept outside by him, and he thought she was young and beautiful, so he doted on her. But now that Liang Yingying is already Mrs. Zhang, she should assist him in educating the children. However, Liang Yingying is still in the same state as before ¡ª shopping, grooming, playing cards, and playing everywhere. The status has been promoted from mistress to wife, but the level has not kept up. Zhang Huan was really not satisfied. But yesterday and today, he was unexpectedly satisfied with his eldest daughter. This child, who had suddenly grown up, has a little bit of her mother¡¯s demeanor. Zhang Huan went upstairs with relief. He also forgot to ask his eldest daughter why she has become so powerful now. When she was young, she did participate in competitions everywhere and came back to comfort her mother with certificates and awards. But since the death of his wife, she has lost her enthusiasm for those competitions, and she has not seen her come back with any certificates. It may be that she has been training for a long time. Indeed, he has never cared about the level of the talents she has learned. Who knew that the little girl had become so powerful before he knew it? Zhang Yansheng watched him leave and slammed the door with a ¡®bang¡¯. She sat back on the sofa, stretched out her hand, and clasped her fist. All the piano, chess, calligraphy, and painting skills that her mother arranged for her to study since she was a child were later lost. After all, she had discarded her school studies, so how could she care about those lessons? Only taekwondo and sanda were not lost. These two sports are really good ways to vent out. The depression and hostility in her chest can be released very well with punching and kicking. The sparring coaches she later looked for were all professional players. She herself has already reached the professional level as well. But today, she calmed down and realized that her strength was a bit amazing. Not only is it not something that a 15-year-old girl can have, but it is not even something that a 21-year-old girl can have. That kind of explosive power can exceed the strength of many men. Does rebirth also come with the benefit of growth of strength? The next morning, Zhang Huan held a cup of coffee and watched her eldest daughter train in the courtyard. The sound of the glove hitting the target was clear and crisp, and it sounded rhythmic and beautiful early in the morning. The daughter has grown up and is sensible. Zhang Huan went to the company in a good mood. Zhang Yansheng didn¡¯t see Liang Yingying and Zhang Shuocheng when she had breakfast after she took a shower. Liang Yingying¡¯s beauty sleep usually takes until 10 o¡¯clock or even 11 o¡¯clock before she gets up. She didn¡¯t know if Zhang Shuocheng hasn¡¯t woken up yet or went to play. Breakfast was eaten quietly. Zhang Heling seemed to be eager to try and always wanted to talk to Zhang Yansheng, but Zhang Yansheng only lowered her eyes and ate unhurriedly, so Zhang Heling obediently ate breakfast in frustration. After breakfast, Zhang Yansheng called Aunt Wang, who was in charge of taking care of Zhang Shuocheng, into the hall. ¡°You have always been responsible for Zhang Shuocheng¡¯s daily routine.¡± She said, ¡°My request is to let him do his homework every morning, and you will supervise it¡­¡± She glanced at Zhang Heling and assigned her a job: ¡°Zhang Heling is in charge of inspection.¡± Zhang Heling was surprised: ¡°Me?¡± ¡°Yes.¡± Zhang Yansheng said, ¡°If he fails to write on time, you must tell me immediately.¡± Zhang Heling immediately promised: ¡°Okay!¡± Zhang Yansheng turned her head and looked at Aunt Wang again. Her gaze was too cold to look at people. Aunt Wang couldn¡¯t help twisting her hand and cleared her throat. ¡°Yesterday, my dad handed me over the management of Zhang Shuocheng.¡± Zhang Yansheng said, ¡°I don¡¯t care what happened before. From now on, you should keep an eye on him for me, when it¡¯s time to study and sleep. If he asks for help with his homework, don¡¯t do it. If you accept money from him¡­¡± Zhang Heling looked at Aunt Wang in surprise. Aunt Wang¡¯s face also had a look of surprise that could not be concealed. ¡°Zhang Heling doesn¡¯t even have pocket money yet. Where did Zhang Shuocheng get his money?¡± Zhang Yansheng¡¯s eyes were sharp, ¡°In this case, if you instigate minors to steal or illegally possess your employer¡¯s property, you can stay in the prison for two years!¡± Aunt Wang¡¯s face turned pale. How did Zhang Yansheng know that she took Zhang Shuocheng¡¯s money to help him with his homework? CH 13 Zhang Yansheng had accidentally heard Zhang Shuocheng on a call and said that he would spend money to find someone to help him with his homework. He complained that it was convenient when he was a child, as the homework in elementary school was simple and the former aunt at home could help him do it if she took the money. She started writing for him in the first grade. But then, it didn¡¯t work later on. That aunt didn¡¯t have a high education level, so she couldn¡¯t do his high school homework. When Zhang Yansheng told Aunt Wang that she needs to supervise Zhang Shuocheng¡¯s homework, Aunt Wang didn¡¯t take it seriously. She thought that both his parents are still there, so how could it be her turn to take care of her younger brother¡¯s affairs? Besides, she¡¯s not even a mother yet. She didn¡¯t know how Zhang Yansheng could pinpoint her shortcomings directly. Zhang Heling stomped her feet: ¡°How can you help him with his homework? Don¡¯t you know that this is harming him?¡± The young lady was angry and anxious. This is her sister, although there¡¯s a gap in their relationship, she still cares. So, she became anxious when she heard it. ¡°A third-grade kid can understand the situation, why can¡¯t you adults understand it?¡± Zhang Yansheng sneered. The ridicule and contempt in her eyes were too obvious. Aunt Wang was sweating profusely. Of course, she understands it as she has raised her children herself. Whoever wants to do the homework for her child, she has to chase after him with a broomstick. But Zhang Shuocheng, the little devil, was holding a red banknote and asked her to write. Writing an assignment for one hundred yuan at a time, how could Aunt Wang not want to make such easy money? If she was in someone else¡¯s house and her parents were staring at her, she might not dare. But in the Zhang family, men only care about making money outside. For women, they are enchanting in makeup all day long. As soon as they go out, the children are thrown to the nannies, so she was bold enough. Aunt Wang actually didn¡¯t know that this kind of thing would be discovered by her employer sooner or later. But people just can¡¯t stand the temptation. Now that she was exposed by Zhang Yansheng and threatened, Aunt Wang¡¯s face turned pale. If she loses her job, she can look for a new one again. But if she were to lose money or get into it¡­ Zhang Yansheng suddenly sneered, the corners of her mouth slanted, and she said slowly: ¡°I just said that I don¡¯t care about the past. I will take care of things from now on. Do you understand?¡± When she said this, Aunt Wang was relieved. She nodded quickly: ¡°I understand, I understand.¡± Zhang Yansheng asked, ¡°Where is Zhang Shuocheng? Is he up already?¡± ¡°He is playing in the backyard. As a child, he got up early and had breakfast early.¡± Zhang Yansheng said nothing, only glanced at the watch on the wall, and then at Aunt Wang. Aunt Wang was smart, then said: ¡°Now is the time to study, so I will call him!¡± Aunt Wang ran to the backyard. Zhang Heling said, ¡°Sister, this aunt can¡¯t do it. Let¡¯s tell Dad about it and let him fire her.¡± Zhang Yansheng¡¯s eyes swept like a knife: ¡°Who authorized you to take care of this matter?¡± Zhang Heling suddenly wilted. Zhang Yansheng regretted it immediately. Zhang Heling was already 15 years old when she died. She should be a young and bright girl, but her personality is not very good. She doesn¡¯t dare to speak, she can¡¯t express herself, and she is a bit submissive. To put it more bluntly, she has a cowardly temperament. There is Zhang Yansheng, a bomb that explodes at any time in the family, and Zhang Shuocheng, a lawless little devil, while Zhang Heling is just a little transparent and has no sense of existence. Even the aunts didn¡¯t take her seriously. The development of this kind of character was caused by the long-term neglect of her family and the belittling and reprimand that her mother threw on her at every turn after entering puberty. Just as she didn¡¯t even think about it, she negated her when she blurted out. Thinking of the little sister crying silently, who had no one¡¯s attention, at her funeral, Zhang Yansheng, the arrogant eldest lady, felt a little guilt in her heart. The half-sister in front of her turned out to be the only one in the world who was really sad for her death. But Zhang Yansheng was also used to being held and coaxed by a group of friends. She has always had a bad temper and never apologizes. Watching the little girl biting her lip and lowering her head, her eyebrows lost their spirit, so Zhang Yansheng looked away. But after all, she is a reborn person. Technically, she is 21 years old and an adult already. Does she still need to be awkward when interacting with an elementary school student? Zhang Yansheng glanced at the ceiling for a while, took a breath, then turned her head again and said stiffly: ¡°What you said is not wrong.¡± Zhang Heling raised her head. The little girl¡¯s face is pink and tender, and her eyes are moistened. Zhang Yansheng¡¯s heart completely softened. ¡°Expelling her is also an option. But when she leaves, we have to find a new aunt to look after Zhang Shuocheng.¡± Zhang Yansheng said, ¡°Considering Zhang Shuocheng¡¯s bad traits, the new aunt may not be able to take care of him properly. If you look at those three days where these two aunts were exchanged, it will be so annoying. It¡¯s not as good as keeping it like this, she¡¯s been taking care of him for many years, so she knows everything about him. It would not be surprising if the new aunt that would be caught and scratched by Zhang Shuocheng will resign and leave.¡± Zhang Heling wanted to speak again. ¡°But¡­¡± Zhang Yansheng declared that she understood Zhang Heling¡¯s thoughts. Little children look at the world as either black or white. People can only be divided into good and bad, and things can only be divided into right and wrong. Zhang Yansheng used to be an extreme person, wanting Zhang Huan¡¯s attention, so she made all kinds of troubles. In the end, she killed herself. She was also a child. ¡°She did do something wrong, but this is just the right thing. I am trying to handle her and she didn¡¯t dare not to listen to me.¡± Zhang Yansheng said, ¡°Otherwise, if things are like as it was before, do you think she will listen to me?¡± This aunt, surnamed Wang, didn¡¯t take Zhang Yansheng seriously before. She was hired by Liang Yingying before she entered the Zhang family. She took care of Zhang Shuocheng since he was born, and later followed Liang Yingying into the Zhang family mansion. In her heart, she only regarded Liang Yingying as her employer. Zhang Yansheng and Liang Yingying have a stepmother and stepdaughter relationship. Don¡¯t they all say that if you have a stepmother, then you¡¯ll have a stepfather too? Aunt Wang naturally felt that there is no need to take this late wife¡¯s child too seriously. Anyway, her main job is to take care of Zhang Shuocheng, and she doesn¡¯t need to get along with Zhang Yansheng. Although no one has actually pointed out these things, Zhang Heling actually felt something. When Zhang Yansheng said this, she felt a sudden realization and nodded: ¡°So that¡¯s how it is.¡± ¡°What are you doing now?¡± Zhang Yansheng suddenly asked, ¡°Have you finished your summer homework? Why do you keep sticking with me here?¡± Zhang Heling stuck out her tongue: ¡°I¡¯m going to do it now.¡± After speaking, she was ready to go upstairs. ¡°Zhang Heling!¡± Zhang Yansheng suddenly stopped her. Zhang Heling stopped and looked back. Her elder sister was sitting on the sofa, holding her chin with her backhand, covering her mouth, nose and small half of her face with her other hand, but her eyes looked elsewhere. It was as if she wanted to say something but couldn¡¯t say it. Zhang Heling: ¡°?¡± Zhang Yansheng struggled for a few seconds, finally overcoming her own heart, put down her hands, and looked at Zhang Heling. ¡°I didn¡¯t have a good attitude towards you just now, I was wrong.¡± She said, ¡°If you have an idea, just say it like you did just now. Don¡¯t be afraid to say it because others deny you. Only when you say it, others will be able hear it and look at you, and only then will they notice your existence.¡± Zhang Heling didn¡¯t seem to understand it completely, but she felt little happiness in her heart. Zhang Yansheng talked to her kindly and calmly, with instruction and guidance, and it was the first time it happened. She smiled and said, ¡°Okay, I got it.¡± There was a smile on the little girl¡¯s face, as bright as sunshine, as clear as spring water, and there was no haze at all. It made the reborn people who had been extreme, resentful, and gloomy in the past feel ashamed of themselves. Seeing Zhang Heling bouncing up and down the stairs, Zhang Yansheng sat for a while before standing up and preparing to go upstairs to get her bag. She was going to go outside. But maybe it was her unlucky words because just now, she said that an aunt was ¡®caught and scratched¡¯. And now, Aunt Wang rushes back with her arm raised. ¡°Miss Yanyan, take a look! It¡¯s not that I¡¯m not good at my job! Take a look, take a look!¡± She was really scratched by Zhang Shuocheng on her arm. ¡°I can¡¯t handle him, look, he scratched me.¡± Zhang Shuocheng was already so lawless in the first grade. Thinking of what he would do when he grew up, Zhang Yansheng¡¯s face immediately became hostile. ¡°Where is he?¡± ¡°Sand pool in the backyard.¡± The sand pool was built by Zhang Yansheng¡¯s mother when she was a child. Later, when Zhang Yansheng grew up and stopped playing with sand, she abandoned it, and the sand gradually condensed into soil. Later, Liang Yingying took Zhang Heling and Zhang Shuocheng into the house, and Zhang Huan asked some workers to switch it into new sand for the children to play with. Zhang Yansheng walked past Aunt Wang in strides, walking vigorously, and landing soundly. Aunt Wang was secretly speechless. Although this young lady used to quarrel with the wife a lot, she was okay with the staff at home and didn¡¯t use her temper with them. Zhang Yansheng is a child, left by the late wife. Seeing that this stepmother gave birth to a son, she and the other aunts were very ordinary to Zhang Yansheng, and were not at ease. Unexpectedly, the eldest lady suddenly became powerful yesterday, and had beaten Zhang Shuocheng, the little devil, for the first time. When the husband and wife came back, all of them went to the corridor to watch the excitement and see how the girl would end up. As a result, they¡¯ve seen how the girl, who usually only punches the target dreary, had stunned her stepmother. What is even more surprising was that the husband didn¡¯t blame her too much, and his attitude seems to be more biased towards her. She felt that the rhythm of this house is going to change a bit. Aunt Wang was speechless and quickly followed. Zhang Shuocheng already scratched Aunt Wang, and she still said, ¡°Your sister asked me to call you to do your homework! Your eldest sister!¡± Then, Aunt Wang left. Aside from not listening to her, he even continued to play there. And when he saw Zhang Yansheng appearing in the backyard, he immediately jumped up and ran away! Zhang Yansheng turned her head and saw that there was a knee-high bouncing ball in the toy box under the eaves of the house. There are two horns-like things on the ball. The ¡®horns¡¯ are for children to grab when riding on the ball. Zhang Yansheng grabbed the horn, her eyes caught up with Zhang Shuocheng¡¯s trajectory, she aimed at the front of him, and slammed the bouncing ball with a flick of her arm. It hit Zhang Shuocheng, just right in front of him. Zhang Shuocheng is a child, so he doesn¡¯t have the ability to react so quickly, and he pounced on the ball all at once. Instinctively, he grabbed the ¡®horns¡¯ and rolled on the ground with the ball in his arms. As soon as he wanted to get up, Zhang Yansheng grabbed the collar on the back of his neck. Zhang Yansheng grabbed Zhang Shuocheng¡¯s neck collar and wanted to lift him up. Unexpectedly, Zhang Shuocheng looked like a loach. As soon as the two small arms were raised, the child slid out of his shirt in a stab, wanting to run again. Zhang Yansheng almost laughed. But she moved and reacted quickly. She stretched out her hand to catch Zhang Shuocheng¡¯s waist. Zhang Shuocheng kicked his short legs indiscriminately: ¡°Let me go! Let me go!¡± He opened his mouth again and shouted, ¡°Mom¨C! Mom¨C!¡± Zhang Shuocheng knew that his mother was still at home at this time! CH 14 ¡°I asked Aunt Wang to call you to do your homework, didn¡¯t you understand?¡± Zhang Yansheng shouted, ¡°What are you running for? Can you still run away from this house?¡± ¡°I won¡¯t do it! Mom¨C! Mom¨C!¡± ¡°Let your mother get a good night¡¯s sleep. You have a sister. From now on, this sister will take care of you!¡± This pair of brother and sister loathed each other for a lifetime, and they never really regarded each other as a sibling. At this moment, Zhang Yansheng calls herself a ¡®sister¡¯, which feels a bit insidious. In any case, Zhang Shuocheng was suddenly frightened. Zhang Yansheng said this while taking Zhang Shuocheng into the house. Zhang Shuocheng felt that it was going to be worse, and he felt that he was going to fall into a tiger¡¯s den. He struggled hard, and Zhang Yansheng was careless, so she was scratched on her hand. It hurts so bad! Zhang Yansheng was furious: ¡°You are so lawless! You just scratch people at every turn!¡± She squatted down on the spot and directly pressed Zhang Shuocheng¡¯s back using her knee. Without a tool this time, she raised her hand and spanked Zhang Shuocheng¡¯s ass with a ¡®slap¡¯. Zhang Shuocheng shouted hoarsely: ¡°Mom¨C! Mom¨C! Zhang Yansheng hit me¨C!¡± Another slap fell hard, causing Zhang Shuocheng to scream in pain. Zhang Yansheng said coldly: ¡°What did I tell you yesterday? Can you really just call me by my name?¡± Zhang Shuocheng squeezed his neck and didn¡¯t stop howling, but the content of his scream changed: ¡°Mom¨C! My sister hit me! Mom¨C!¡± ¡°Shut up!¡± He was slapped again twice. But Zhang Shuocheng didn¡¯t scream for nothing this time. The window on the third floor suddenly opened, and Liang Yingying, who was wearing a sexy lace nightdress, leaned out and shouted angrily: ¡°Zhang Yansheng! Let go of my son! You stop it for me!¡± She was sleeping soundly, when she heard Zhang Shuocheng¡¯s wailing. The air conditioner was on, the quilt was covering her up to her ears, and she didn¡¯t really want to get up. Anyway, there is an aunt and she¡¯ll definitely go over there when she hears Zhang Shuocheng shouting for her. Listening to Zhang Shuocheng¡¯s howl again, she wondered how Zhang Yansheng was beating him. Liang Yingying got up suddenly! When she opened the window and took a look, she almost fainted! Zhang Yansheng did not only beat Zhang Shuocheng, she also stripped Zhang Shuocheng¡¯s clothes. Zhang Shuocheng was shirtless! Too much bullying! Zhang Yansheng raised her head and glanced at Liang Yingying¡¯s chest that had been dazzled by the sun, and sneered. She lowered her head to Zhang Shuocheng¡¯s ear and asked, ¡°How long do you think it will take for your mother to come down from the third floor? How much time do you think is enough for me to hit you? Have you forgotten all the lessons from yesterday? Counting on your mother to save you? When I suppressed your mother yesterday, did you think she had the power to fight back?¡± ¡°What now? Do you want to get beaten again? Or do you want to do your homework obediently?¡± This woman is a demon, right? Zhang Shuocheng thought. Definitely the worst villain in the world! But Zhang Shuocheng¡¯s butt hurts very much now. Although it is not as painful as it was yesterday with a hanger, it is still very painful. Zhang Shuocheng thought of yesterday¡¯s fight, and remembered that his mother was strangled on the sofa by Zhang Yansheng and was unable to fight back. ¡°Don¡¯t, don¡¯t hit~¡± he said with a cry of tears, ¡°I will do my homework!¡± Zhang Yansheng smiled a bit. ¡­¡­ ¡°Where are they? Where are they? Where did they go?¡± By the time Liang Yingying rushed to the backyard, Zhang Yansheng and Zhang Shuocheng were already gone. She turned around and grabbed her hair angrily. After thinking about it, she rushed into the house again, and bumped into Zhang Yansheng on the stairs. ¡°Shuoshuo! What did you do to Shuoshuo? Zhang Yansheng! I¡¯m telling you, if you dare to touch my son again, I¡¯m not going to be done with you!¡± Liang Yingying pointed to Zhang Yansheng and shouted sharply. Zhang Yansheng looked at the finger that was about to poke the tip of her nose. Her fingers are really beautiful, her nails are also long and are very delicately done, and there are even some broken crystals or bling-bling on them. Zhang Yansheng raised her eyebrows, then suddenly stretched out her hand, and grasped that finger and bent it backwards! Liang Yingying screamed and knelt down directly. In order to relieve the pain in her finger, she twisted her body along Zhang Yansheng¡¯s strength and basically laid down on the stairs. ¡°Let go! You let go! Ah¨C¡± There was a little cry in the last sentence. It hurts. Zhang Yansheng clutched that finger: ¡°Who taught you to point at others with your fingers? Your mother?¡± Liang Yingying screamed: ¡°It hurts~ah~ah~ it hurts~! You let go!¡± ¡°My mother taught me to be self-respecting and self-loving since I was a child. I can¡¯t tolerate others pointing at the tip of my nose like this.¡± Zhang Yansheng said, ¡°I don¡¯t care who taught you to be so uneducated, go back and talk to that person! If you dare to point your finger at me like this again, then don¡¯t ask for this finger anymore.¡± ¡°I didn¡¯t do anything harsh to your son, just spanked his ass a few times.¡± She said, ¡°My Dad said that since you don¡¯t care about your children, he let me take care of them instead, and I agreed to it. I have made it clear to Zhang Shuocheng that during this summer vacation, he needs to do his homework every morning and can only play in the afternoon. He also agreed to it. I am going out now. When I come back and find that he has not yet finished his assignment for today, then I¡¯ll beat him again.¡± After Zhang Yansheng finished speaking, she finally let go of her finger. Liang Yingying immediately grabbed her finger that was broken in pain, and gasped. Zhang Yansheng stepped over her body and went downstairs. Liang Yingying¡¯s pain causes snot to come down from her nose. She panted for a long time, and felt that it didn¡¯t hurt so much afterwards. Zhang Yansheng walked out of the door early, while Liang Yingying got up in a haste, breathed in, and went up to the third floor. Zhang Shuocheng was actually doing his homework in the room. When he saw Liang Yingying, his mouth was flat: ¡°Mom, my sister beat me¡­¡± After being beaten twice, he finally remembered for a long time and didn¡¯t dare to call her eldest sister ¡®Zhang Yansheng¡¯. Liang Yingying felt distressed and said, ¡°Let me take a look.¡± Taking off Zhang Shuocheng¡¯s pants to check on it, his little butt was white and didn¡¯t even have the red marks it had after being beaten yesterday. Children¡¯s recovery ability is really strong. Liang Yingying: ¡°¡­¡± Liang Yingying hates it again! There is not even a trace, her complaint can¡¯t produce decent evidence! Zhang Huan, who has a big heart, will definitely say ¡®it¡¯s okay, it¡¯s okay¡¯ again! ¡°Mom, I don¡¯t want to do my homework! My sister forced me to do my homework! She said that if I can¡¯t finish writing, she will beat me up!¡± Zhang Shuocheng shook Liang Yingying¡¯s hand and complained. ¡°She dares!¡± Liang Yingying scolded, ¡°Don¡¯t be afraid of her, Mom will never let her beat you up again!¡± Zhang Shuocheng¡¯s eyes lit up: ¡°Then don¡¯t go out today! You have to protect me at home!¡± Liang Yingying choked. How could Liang Yingying not go out, it would kill her. ¡°I have an appointment with your Aunt Lisa1¡­¡± Before she could finish her words, Zhang Shuocheng spoke again: ¡°My sister will beat me up when you go out! You are not allowed to go, you are not allowed to go!¡± He tugged at Liang Yingying¡¯s nightdress. When the nightdress swayed, it was too short to cover her buttocks. Liang Yingying¡¯s black T-back panties and white buttocks appeared from time to time. In fact, if Liang Yingying went downstairs in her nightdress, she would wear a silk night robe. But today, she was so irritated and came down directly in a lace nightdress. Fortunately, there are no other men in this house, and Zhang Shuocheng is still young. But Aunt Wang rolled her eyes as she stood on the side, and she cursed in her heart: It¡¯s so indecent! Zhang Shuocheng refused to allow Liang Yingying to go out. Liang Yingying was annoyed. She slapped his ass twice and yelled at him: ¡°Knock it off, okay? Don¡¯t you know that Mom has something to do? Do your own business! Come here, come here! Do your homework!¡± Today is probably Zhang Shuocheng¡¯s unlucky day. He doesn¡¯t know what happened to the women in the family. One or both of them slapped him on the butt and forced him to do his homework. Zhang Shuocheng lay on the ground crying, refusing to get up. Even so, Liang Yingying would not go out just for him. She called out to Aunt Wang: ¡°Take care of him, don¡¯t let him cry for too long.¡± She looked up at the clock and was anxious: ¡°I will be late if I don¡¯t put on makeup now!¡± She hurriedly went upstairs to wash up and do her makeup. Zhang Shuocheng lay on the ground and howled. It¡¯s normal for him to lie down and wail, and Aunt Wang has witnessed a lot of this situation, so she is not impatient. She sat aside, knitting a sweater, and said: ¡°You have to hurry up, you¡¯re doing your homework slowly. Your eldest sister said that you must finish writing before noon. She asked your second sister to check it for you. If you haven¡¯t finished writing, your second sister will definitely tell your eldest sister. Then your eldest sister will beat you again.¡± Zhang Shuocheng said, ¡°My mother said she wouldn¡¯t dare!¡± Aunt Wang said, ¡°She beat you twice already, yesterday and today. Do you think she wouldn¡¯t dare do it again?¡± She added more: ¡°You see, even if your mother is at home, you still got beaten, so it¡¯s useless. Your mother and your father are no good.¡± Zhang Shuocheng: ¡°¡­¡± He stopped howling. ¡°Hurry up, look at what time it is. Chinese, Mathematics, and English, you have three subjects to finished!¡± Aunt Wang said, ¡°I dare not do it for you anymore. Your eldest sister said that this is a crime. If I help you with your homework, then I¡¯ll be sent to the police station! Oh, that¡¯s so scary. I heard that the child will be locked in a cell, the adult will also be locked in a cell, and the policemen will watch you do your homework!¡± Zhang Shuocheng: ¡°¡­¡± Aunt Wang murmured bitterly: ¡°If you keep lying down there, then your eldest sister would be back soon, so hurry up¡­¡± Zhang Shuocheng finally got up angrily. Aunt Wang also found it strange. In the past, who in this family could make Zhang Shuocheng submit so quickly? This Zhang Yansheng is quite powerful. She pulled a tissue and wiped away Zhang Shuocheng¡¯s tears and snot: ¡°Write quickly.¡± ¡­¡­ Liang Yingying washed her face, changed clothes, and put on her makeup. She was carrying a precious bag and prepared to go out alluringly. She walked out of the house, but found that the car and driver were missing. The driver knows her daily routine, and usually parks the car at the door to wait for her around this time. Liang Yingying was a little angry. She took out her cellphone and called the driver: ¡°Hey, Xiao Zhou, where have you been? Hurry up and drive the car over, I¡¯m in a hurry!¡± On the other end of the call, the driver said helplessly: ¡°Miss Yanyan asked me to take her somewhere.¡± As he said that, he subconsciously raised his eyes and glanced in the rearview mirror. The girl who didn¡¯t want to be in the back seat also raised her eyes and glanced at him. Obviously, she is only a middle school student, so why are her cold eyes so scary? Xiao Zhou quickly retracted his gaze, and then replied on the call: ¡°Huh? Now? No, we haven¡¯t arrived yet. How long? I don¡¯t know either.¡± The girl in the back seat suddenly spoke and said coldly: ¡°Just tell her to drive by herself. I¡¯m using this car today.¡± If it wasn¡¯t for her rebirth, Zhang Yansheng really didn¡¯t know that when she was a teenager, all the staff at home would have despised her so much. Aunt Wang has always been estranged from her and has a casual attitude towards her. In the past, she didn¡¯t like talking to Liang Yingying and Zhang Shuocheng at all, and she barely talked to Aunt Wang, so she didn¡¯t care at all. After being born again, she realized that something was wrong. She¡¯s just an employee, but she actually treats her with such contempt and doesn¡¯t take her seriously! When she walked out the door today, she realized that she didn¡¯t have a driver¡¯s license when she was 15 years old and couldn¡¯t drive out by herself. It just so happened that there¡¯s a car parked at the door already, and the driver was smoking in the shade of the porch. She went over and said she wanted to use the car. However, she didn¡¯t expect the driver to dare to refuse her. Lisa ¨C name is really in English CH 15 ¡°Madam uses this car every day.¡± The driver said at the time. He is a good-looking young man, in his 20s, and his surname is Zhou. Generally, those who work as drivers have a high school diploma. In front of Zhang Huan, he was quite decent and respectful. In front of Zhang Yansheng, a ¡®child¡¯, he was more casual. ¡°First come first served.¡± She said, ¡°She hasn¡¯t gone out yet, right? So, I will use it first.¡± ¡°That won¡¯t work.¡± Xiao Zhou said with a smile, ¡°I will be scolded later.¡± The contempt in this attitude is the same as Aunt Wang. The 15-year-old Zhang Yansheng didn¡¯t notice it, but the reborn Zhang Yansheng saw it clearly. Her face was pulled down at the time, like a bamboo steamer with a layer of frost. Xiao Zhou was also recruited by Liang Yingying. The driver that the Zhang family used to use at home has been in the Zhang family for many years and grew up watching Zhang Yansheng. After Liang Yingying came to this house, the old driver had put Zhang Yansheng¡¯s needs first several times and ranked Liang Yingying behind her. Liang Yingying then urged Zhang Huan to fire him and recruited another young man to come in. Zhang Yansheng was still young at the time, and there was nothing she could do about this kind of thing. She also didn¡¯t realize the impact of Liang Yingying¡¯s actions on her at that time. Of course, now, she is fully aware of it. Among the staff in this family, Aunt Luo is probably the only one who really regards her as the eldest lady in her heart. These other less experienced staff members are just following Liang Yingying blindly. ¡°The driver hired by our family wouldn¡¯t allow me to use the car?¡± She stared at Xiao Zhou and said, ¡°Then you can get lost!¡± Xiao Zhou was stunned for a moment. He heard that she has a bad temper in the Zhang family, but Xiao Zhou hadn¡¯t witnessed it yet. Xiao Zhou also picked her up to and from school before, but he has no other dealings with her aside from that. And because Zhang Yansheng hated riding with her stepbrother and stepsister after attending middle school, she would often call for her own car alone to avoid them. So, Xiao Zhou has lesser dealings with her. She doesn¡¯t talk much, has a good upbringing, and has a good attitude towards the staff. To be honest, she is much better than the little brat Zhang Shuocheng. Rude words like ¡®get lost¡¯ are really not what Miss Zhang would say, but she just said it to his face. Zhang Yansheng had already taken out her cellphone: ¡°I will ask my dad to settle your salary.¡± Is she really serious? Xiao Zhou was dumbfounded. Xiao Zhou also bullied Zhang Yansheng because she was young and had a tender face. But for this matter to really get Zhang Huan¡¯s attention, it was indeed his fault. Zhang Yansheng is young and she has the right to request for the car. ¡°No, no, no!¡± Xiao Zhou was busy changing his attitude and stopped Zhang Yansheng, ¡°Where are you going? I¡¯m going to start it, so wait a minute. I¡¯ll turn on the air conditioner first!¡± Zhang Yansheng glanced at him, then finally put away her cellphone and got into the car. On the way, Liang Yingying called. Xiao Zhou just learned Zhang Yansheng¡¯s temper, so he summoned up his courage and told Liang Yingying what she said: ¡°Miss Yanyan said that she¡¯ll use this car today and let you drive by yourself¡­¡± The sound will leak a little on most of the phone receivers. On Xiao Zhou¡¯s cellphone, the leak is very clear. Sitting in the back, Zhang Yansheng heard Liang Yingying¡¯s sharp swearing on the cellphone ¡ª she could swear for as long as Zhang Huan couldn¡¯t see or hear her. ¡°Hang up.¡± Zhang Yansheng said. She is not loud, not irritable or impatient, but the meaning is clear. Xiao Zhou raised his eyes and saw a pair of dark eyes in the rearview mirror. Her gaze is a bit scary for a young girl. Xiao Zhou said on the call: ¡°What, madam? I have to concentrate on driving now, I will end this call now, goodbye.¡± He really hung up. Zhang Yansheng stopped looking at him, and turned to look at the scenery outside. She was reborn six years back, and K City has basically remained the same. Then, she suddenly thought of something and said, ¡°Go to Jianshe Road first.¡± Xiao Zhou asked, ¡°Where are we going on Jianshe Road?¡± ¡°Just go to Jianshe Road.¡± Zhang Yansheng did not give the specific location, ¡°Just drive over there.¡± Xiao Zhou couldn¡¯t help but go to Jianshe Road as she said. When they reached the destination, he didn¡¯t know where Zhang Yansheng was going. So, he reminded her ¡°we¡¯re here¡±, and then slowed down. Zhang Yansheng didn¡¯t mention getting out of the car, just nodded with an ¡°umm¡±, and said, ¡°Just keep driving, drive over there.¡± Xiao Zhou was baffled, increased the speed again and drove from one end of Jianshe Road to the other. Zhang Yansheng kept looking outside. She saw a ten-story building sandwiched between two buildings. But the facade of that building is now a bit rustic, and the signs also show that it is just an ordinary shopping mall. The Jinding KTV, which will become popular in K City later, had not yet opened at this time. Zhang Yansheng was there six years later, and someone put drugs on her drink. Xiao Zhou drove slowly while looking at Zhang Yansheng from the rearview mirror. He saw the girl staring out the window. Obviously, she was still an adolescent girl, but she didn¡¯t have any expression on her face. There was a strange sense of contradiction between that expression and her age. He didn¡¯t know that what Zhang Yansheng remembered at this time was the stranger who had been with her before she died, holding her hand and comforting her gently. She saw him clearly when her soul was separated afterwards. The young man is in his 20s, with a slender figure, deep eyes, and is very handsome. Those eyes that looked at her were full of pity and regret. Zhang Yansheng remembered his face firmly in her heart. ¡°Miss Yanyan, we are about to leave Jianshe Road soon.¡± Xiao Zhou couldn¡¯t help but remind her when he saw that the road was almost coming to an end. Zhang Yansheng came back to her senses and said lightly: ¡°Okay, let¡¯s go to our original destination.¡± Xiao Zhou was speechless. Did she insist on going to Jianshe Road just to drive around? Or is it just for them to return late and deliberately leave Liang Yingying without a car? This young girl is too scheming. Xiao Zhou shook his head inwardly. Zhang Yansheng didn¡¯t have dinner at home that day. Zhang Huan was already at home when she returned with a large pile of shopping bags. Seeing her back, he looked very kind and said: ¡°You¡¯re back, where did you go? Have you eaten?¡± ¡°Yes, I did.¡± Zhang Yansheng is still a middle school student after all, and it¡¯s not yet time to be completely out of her parents¡¯ control. So, it¡¯s just right for her dad to ask where she went and what she has done. She simply replied: ¡°I went shopping and found a new sparring partner to train boxing with.¡± She was actually looking for the sparring partner she had been using from her previous life. It¡¯s just that the other party¡¯s number was stored in her cellphone before, so she can just contact him directly when needed. Now that she is reborn, she doesn¡¯t have that person¡¯s contact number on her cellphone, so she can only go to that place to find him. Fortunately, that person was really there today, and she found it as soon as she looked for him. The man was a little surprised to see that she is only a middle school student. But Zhang Yansheng could afford to pay, so he gladly accepted her business. ¡°Oh, it¡¯s good for your training.¡± Zhang Huan said. His eyebrows relaxed, and Zhang Yansheng watched coldly, perceiving that his mood today was really good. Didn¡¯t Liang Yingying and Zhang Shuocheng complain to him? ¡°Sister, you are back!¡± Zhang Heling ran down from upstairs and reported to Zhang Yansheng everything without reservation, ¡°Shuoshuo was very slow to write. After he finished lunch, I watched him in the afternoon and he finished today¡¯s homework. I checked them all for him, and I also pointed out his mistakes.¡± ¡°What else?¡± ¡°He was afraid that you would beat him, so he didn¡¯t dare to come out of his room.¡± Zhang Heling said gleefully. ¡°Yanyan.¡± Zhang Huan interrupted and asked, ¡°Did you beat Shuoshuo again today?¡± He smiled without any displeasure in his look. Zhang Yansheng realized that he came to her because he had known everything ¡ª she beat Zhang Shuocheng, then he was able to complete his homework for the first time. The former is the cause and the latter is the effect. The cause is not heavy, but the result is very good, which is what Zhang Huan likes to hear. So, he is in a good mood. ¡°I didn¡¯t hurt him. I just spank him a few times.¡± She said, ¡°I set rules for him so that he can do his homework every morning during the summer vacation and only play in the afternoon.¡± Zhang Huan had already known everything from Zhang Heling. Whether it was the change of the eldest daughter or the change of the youngest son, he was surprised and delighted, and he was in a great mood. He said comfortably: ¡°Good, very good. You really look like a sister now.¡± After understanding this man¡¯s mentality, Zhang Yansheng couldn¡¯t be more interested in talking to Zhang Huan. She was no longer as eager to win his attention as before. She let out a ¡°hmm¡± and said, ¡°I¡¯m going upstairs.¡± Before she reached the top of the stairs, Liang Yingying came down. Liang Yingying stared at Zhang Yansheng. Zhang Yansheng only glanced at her faintly. The two brushed their shoulders as they walked past each other on the stairs. ¡°Sister, wait for me!¡± Zhang Heling chased Zhang Yansheng upstairs. Liang Yingying tugged her: ¡°Why are you going to her!¡± Zhang Heling twisted her shoulders and fled from her side: ¡°I have something to do with my sister!¡± Liang Yingying gritted her teeth with anger. This daughter was born stupid. Since she took her here, she had always wanted to treat Zhang Yansheng as her own sister, which is really annoying. It is useless to give birth to money-losing goods. Liang Yingying watched Zhang Heling run upstairs to chase Zhang Yansheng. After being angry for a while, she went down to find Zhang Huan. ¡°Why did the family¡¯s young lady come back so late?¡± She went over to massage Zhang Huan¡¯s shoulders and said softly, ¡°Your daughter is a big girl now, did she meet with her boyfriend outside?¡± ¡°No.¡± Zhang Huan immediately denied, ¡°Yanyan said that she went out to train in boxing. Yanyan is not the kind of child who talks nonsense.¡± At this time, Zhang Huan hadn¡¯t experienced the rebellious girl she had been before. In his heart, although Zhang Yansheng often had disagreements with Liang Yingying and even if her academic performance was not as good as in elementary school, she was still a pure and good child after all. Liang Yingying felt suffocated. Finally, she couldn¡¯t help but complain: ¡°She asked Xiao Zhou to go out with her, but she only came back now. She occupied the car for a whole day, so I didn¡¯t have a car to use.¡± Zhang Huan understood what made her unhappy as soon as he heard it. ¡°Isn¡¯t there another car at home? You can drive by yourself.¡± He said, ¡°It¡¯s not that you don¡¯t have a driver¡¯s license.¡± Liang Yingying pouted: ¡°It is more convenient for me to have a driver than to drive by myself, and he can also help me carry my bags when I go shopping.¡± How could Zhang Huan not understand Liang Yingying¡¯s careful thinking. Compared to driving by herself, she just prefers to have a driver as an attendant, so that she has a lot of face in front of her girlfriends. Zhang Huan felt slightly embarrassed in his heart. But he thought for a while and said, ¡°Yanyan is getting older now, and she will go out more often than before. She can¡¯t drive by herself, so the driver at home will follow her closely in the future.¡± Before Liang Yingying had time to get angry, he said again: ¡°You, you have a driver¡¯s license. Do you think the car at home is not beautiful? Well, how about buying you a new Ferrari then?¡± Liang Yingying was surprised and delighted. Zhang Yansheng¡¯s mother had been ill for several years before her death, and she had been in a state of recuperation. The cars at home are all used by Zhang Huan, which of course is close to his aesthetics and preferences. Except for the two cars driven by the drivers, Liang Yingying didn¡¯t like the other cars. They were old-fashioned! They can¡¯t match her youth and beauty! If she has a Ferrari of her own, how dignified it would be to drive it! She was overjoyed: ¡°I want a prettier one!¡± ¡°I know, you can go and pick it yourself later, and just tell me when you have picked one.¡± After Zhang Huan finished speaking, she was hugged by Liang Yingying and kissed his face twice: ¡°Thank you, my dear!¡± All the children were all upstairs anyway, so Zhang Huan took Liang Yingying in his arms and kissed her. But he thought in his heart, if his eldest daughter could be like his little wife, who could be happy with just money, then that would be great. Zhang Huan is not short of money and he is not willing to spend more energy on things that can be settled with money. It is a pity that things at home cannot be just settled with money, and they require people¡¯s attention the most. He couldn¡¯t help but sigh a little bit. Zhang Heling caught up with Zhang Yansheng: ¡°Sister, there is a courier for you, and Aunt Luo has put it inside your room for you.¡± Zhang Yansheng replied, ¡°Okay.¡± Zhang Heling urged her a little excitedly: ¡°Come on, open it now to see what it is.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t worry about it.¡± Zhang Yansheng said indifferently, stepping into her room. Zhang Heling opened her mouth but held back. Zhang Yansheng threw a pile of shopping bags from her hand on the sofa and saw the express delivery on the coffee table. Zhang Yansheng doesn¡¯t like things that others touch, especially Zhang Shuocheng, so Aunt Luo usually puts it inside her room whenever she has an express delivery. Zhang Yansheng took out the paper cutter from the drawer under the coffee table, cut the tape, opened the outer carton, and saw the box that contained the merchandise inside, reflecting how Zhang Heling was so noisy just now ¡ª the latest model she bought for her. The game console has arrived. She turned her head to call her, but her side was empty. Looking up, the younger sister was standing at the door with expectation in her big eyes, looking at her eagerly. But even if she was so impatient, without Zhang Yansheng¡¯s permission, she didn¡¯t dare to step into her room and stand honestly outside the door. She is so well-behaved that it kind of hurts. Zhang Yansheng was silent for a few seconds, then took a breath and said, ¡°Come in.¡± Zhang Heling¡¯s thin legs jumped in quickly: ¡°Sister, is my game console here?¡± Zhang Yansheng took out the game console box from the carton and handed it to her. Zhang Heling hugged the box and jumped happily a few times: ¡°Sister, thank you!¡± The little girl couldn¡¯t wait to leave: ¡°Sister, I¡¯m going back to my room. I won¡¯t bother you anymore. You can rest early.¡± Zhang Yansheng stopped her: ¡°Come back!¡± The little girl came back, while sliding her feet. Zhang Yansheng: ¡°¡­¡± Zhang Yansheng rolled her eyes. She took out a card from her bag and handed it to Zhang Heling: ¡°This is for you.¡± Zhang Heling took it: ¡°Bank card?¡± His eyes were confused and didn¡¯t quite understand what¡¯s going on. Zhang Yansheng unexpectedly felt that Zhang Heling was ¡®not too smart¡¯ and had something in common with Liang Yingying. ¡°You¡¯re going to be in fourth grade soon.¡± She said, ¡°It¡¯s time to have your pocket money.¡± Zhang Heling suddenly realized, and was surprised and delighted: ¡°Can I buy things by myself in the future?¡± If she wants something and tells their father about it, his father will just say, ¡°Go to your mother.¡± She will have to look for her mother, whom she doesn¡¯t know why is always not happy to see her. The family is obviously not short of money, and Zhang Shuocheng can buy everything immediately. But when it comes to her, if she takes the initiative to say whatever she wants to buy, her mother will always be very unhappy, as if she owed her something. Zhang Heling gradually grew up and began to have the need to spend money. But the older she got, the more reluctant she was to ask Liang Yingying for money. She has been hit too many times. ¡°Just use this card for whatever you want to buy. You are also getting older, so it¡¯s time to learn how to spend money and manage it.¡± She said, ¡°However, giving you pocket money is not to let you spend money recklessly, but to let you learn how to spend your own money. Do you understand?¡± Zhang Heling nodded again and again, and promised: ¡°I will not waste money!¡± Compared to the naughty younger brother, this sister is very good. Zhang Yansheng was quite satisfied, and nodded with crossed arms. ¡°This card is an account opened in my name, so that I can see your consumption records. You are still young, I won¡¯t give you a lot of money¡­¡± Zhang Yansheng pondered for a while, referring to the amount of pocket money she had when she was a child, and decided, ¡°I will give you 10,000 yuan a month first.¡± CH 16 Enchantress | December 23, 2021 Zhang Heling found it strange these few days, when suddenly the family feels comfortable at home. It all seems to have started from the sudden change in her sister¡¯s attitude towards her the night before. The little girl was very surprised by this subtle change that she could not tell. She repeatedly assured her elder sister that she would never spend money indiscriminately and would definitely keep it within the amount she gave her. She originally wanted to go back to her room to unpack the new game console. However, the pocket money fell from the sky all of a sudden, so she threw away the thought of unpacking the game console. Seeing Zhang Yansheng carrying a pile of bags to the cloakroom, she put down the game console first and followed over to help. ¡°Sister, did you buy new clothes?¡± Zhang Yansheng replied with ¡°umm¡± indifferently as she cut the tags on them. Zhang Heling handed her the hangers and also helped her hang the clothes. Zhang Heling was careful and she quickly discovered: ¡°Sister, the new clothes you bought are not the same style as your old clothes.¡± Hearing this, Zhang Yansheng raised her eyes and scanned the clothes hanging in the cloakroom. It is indeed a very different style. At this time, Zhang Yansheng was still a good girl, so the clothes in the wardrobe were very fresh, pure, and youthful. But later on, Zhang Yansheng became a ¡®bad girl¡¯ with multiple tattoos on her body. Even if she didn¡¯t want to go the old way anymore, her aesthetics were completely different from this time. Today, she specially bought some clothes that match her aesthetic. The new clothes are all brightly colored, publicity-seeking, and mature in design. It is completely different from the fresh style of the past. Zhang Yansheng picked up a set of clothes, put them in front of her, looked in the mirror, and asked Zhang Heling, ¡°Does it look good?¡± ¡°It looks good!¡° Zhang Heling propped her elbows on the jewelry storage table in the middle of the cloakroom, held her chin and said, ¡°Sister, I think you seem to be very different from before.¡± Zhang Yansheng looked at herself in the mirror and smiled faintly. She didn¡¯t want to ask Zhang Heling what she was like in the past, nor did she want to think about what she would be like in the future. Since she had returned to this time, she wanted to overturn everything and start over and be a brand-new self. ¡°Hey, sister, what is this?¡± Zhang Heling suddenly bent over and pulled the bag, and took out a long flat bamboo product from the inside. ¡°Is this¡­ a ruler?¡± But there is no scale on it, instead, it is engraved with dense small characters. If you look closely, it¡¯s the ¡®Three Character Classic¡¯.1 ¡°What is this for?¡± Zhang Yansheng hung up her clothes, stretched out her hand to take that thing from Zhang Heling¡¯s hand, and said to her, ¡°Stretch out your hand.¡± Zhang Heling: ¡°?¡± She stretched out a hand obediently. Zhang Yansheng turned her hand over to show the palm of her hand, and patted that thing lightly on her palm: ¡°To do this.¡± Zhang Heling suddenly realized: ¡°I see! This is¡­ what is it called again? I¡¯ve seen it on the TV!¡± ¡°Ferule.¡±2 Zhang Yansheng lightly patted it on her hand twice and tried the feeling, ¡°It¡¯s especially use in punishing disobedient children.¡± When she went to that sports club today to find her own sparring partner, she saw this thing in the commissary downstairs. She felt that she could take advantage of it, so she bought one. Zhang Heling took a breath and hurriedly said, ¡°I do my homework on time every day.¡± Zhang Yansheng was reborn for three days now, and finally showed a smile that was not a sneer: ¡°Don¡¯t worry, the rule of this family is not to beat girls.¡± Zhang Heling said, ¡°Does our family still have this rule? Who made it? That¡¯s great.¡± Zhang Yansheng held the ferule and raised her eyelids: ¡°I did.¡± From now on, the rules of this family will be set by her. Zhang Yansheng patted the ferule twice on the palm of her hand and asked in a deep voice, ¡°Is Zhang Shuocheng asleep now?¡± Zhang Heling said without thinking: ¡°He must have not slept yet. I¡¯m sure that he¡¯s still playing at this time.¡± That¡¯s just right. Zhang Yansheng said, ¡°Come, follow me upstairs.¡± Zhang Heling¡¯s eyelids twitched, and she had an ominous premonition ¡ª Zhang Shuocheng, the unlucky child, would he have to suffer twice in a day? But Zhang Yansheng walked out with the ferule, and Zhang Heling didn¡¯t dare to disobey, so she went upstairs with her. Zhang Shuocheng was only two years old when he first came to this house and still needed the care of his nanny. His room is a suite and Aunt Wang lives with him. Aunt Wang happened to go to the bathroom. When Zhang Yansheng opened the door, she saw Zhang Shuocheng sitting on the ground playing alone, with toys all over the carpet. Zhang Shuocheng¡¯s whole body was tensed when he saw Zhang Yansheng. When he got up from the ground, he wanted to jump into the suite inside, but he was grabbed by Zhang Yansheng. ¡°What are you running for?¡± Zhang Yansheng asked. Zhang Shuocheng shouted, ¡°Help! I have finished my homework! I finished writing!¡± ¡°Then why are you running? You know what your guilty conscience is.¡± Zhang Yansheng grabbed him and said to Zhang Heling, ¡°Close the door.¡± Zhang Heling hurriedly closed the door. Zhang Yansheng: ¡°Lock it.¡± Zhang Heling locked it as well. Zhang Yansheng said to Zhang Shuocheng: ¡°I will let you go now, but you will not be able to run out of this room. Even if you shout, your mother won¡¯t be able to get in. In my hands, no one can save you, understand?¡± Zhang Shuocheng remembered that this morning, when his mother was at home, he was still beaten up, so he nodded. Zhang Yansheng then let him go and asked him, ¡°What did I tell you this morning?¡± Zhang Shuocheng said, ¡°I have finished my homework!¡± Zhang Yansheng snorted and said, ¡°I asked you to finish writing before noon. When did you finish it?¡± Zhang Shuo was speechless. Zhang Yansheng turned her head and asked Zhang Heling, ¡°When did he finish writing?¡± Zhang Heling replied honestly: ¡°It¡¯s past one o¡¯clock in the afternoon.¡± Zhang Yansheng turned her head back and told him: ¡°I asked you to finish writing before twelve o¡¯clock noon. You drag it until the afternoon? Put your hands out.¡± Zhang Shuocheng immediately hid his hands behind his back, and asked vigilantly, ¡°What are you going to do?¡± The ferule waved twice in Zhang Yansheng¡¯s hand, making a sound of breaking through the air. Zhang Yansheng said: ¡°This is a ferule which is specially bought for you. I will teach you how to use it then. I asked you to finish writing at noon, but you finished it at one o¡¯clock. You dragged it for an hour, so you¡¯ll need to be hit at the palm of your hand. Stretch out your hands!¡± Zhang Shuocheng was nervous and shouted, ¡°Mom¨C! Mom¨C!¡± Coincidentally, because Zhang Huan promised to buy her a Ferrari sports car, Liang Yingying was holding Zhang Huan greedily upstairs, wanting to make out. As soon as they arrived on the third floor, they heard Zhang Shuocheng¡¯s cry. In normal times, Liang Yingying would be very impatient if Zhang Shuocheng screamed like this. There is an aunt, so why does he keep on calling her! But in the past two days, Liang Yingying was also a little nervous and sensitive. When she heard Zhang Shuocheng¡¯s call, she suddenly felt frightened. It gives her an intuition that Zhang Shuocheng would only yell like this because he couldn¡¯t get rid of Zhang Yansheng. Liang Yingying let go of Zhang Huan¡¯s arm and walked quickly to push Zhang Shuocheng¡¯s door, only to find out that the door was locked. ¡°Shuoshuo! Shuoshuo!¡± She knocked on the door, ¡°What¡¯s wrong with you? Why is the door locked!¡± ¡°Mom! My sister is going to hit me again!¡± Zhang Shuocheng shouted inside. He reflexively wanted to rush to the door. But Zhang Yansheng¡¯s ferule was placed before him and blocked his chest. Zhang Shuocheng had suffered a few times, so he didn¡¯t dare to rush forward and just stood still. ¡°Zhang Yansheng! What are you doing? Shuoshuo has finished his homework! Are you going to beat him again for no reason? Zhang Yansheng, open this door!¡± Liang Yingying shouted outside. Aunt Wang also hurriedly came out of the bathroom with her pants on at this time: ¡°What happened, what happened?¡± Honestly, she doesn¡¯t know what was going on with the eldest lady in the past two days, she¡¯s beginning to get worry! Zhang Yansheng ignored these people and only spoke to Zhang Shuocheng: ¡°If you stretch out your hands now, I will only hit you once. On the count of three, if you don¡¯t stretch it out, I will hit you three times. If you make trouble and your mother comes in, I will hit you thirty times.¡± She stared at Zhang Shuocheng: ¡°One, two¡­ three!¡± Zhang Shuocheng stretched out his hands nervously! Very good. Zhang Yansheng didn¡¯t want to spend a lot of time and waste her energy with a little brat every day. She wanted to clean up Zhang Shuocheng as soon as possible, she wants him to know how to be afraid, so he can be obedient. It¡¯s starting to have an effect now. Zhang Yansheng held Zhang Shuocheng¡¯s hands and raised the ferule. Zhang Shuocheng was so scared that his mouth was so deflated, but he was unable to cry. Aunt Wang had a handle in Zhang Yansheng¡¯s hands, but she didn¡¯t dare to stop her. Only Zhang Heling couldn¡¯t bear it and begged for Zhang Shuocheng¡¯s favor: ¡°Sister¡­ be gentle¡­¡± Zhang Yansheng originally wanted to give Zhang Shuocheng a hard time, but when she heard Zhang Heling¡¯s plea, her heart suddenly moved. She raised the ferule high, with the wind, but paused before it fell, and gently patted Zhang Shuocheng¡¯s palm. Aunt Wang and Zhang Heling both breathed a sigh of relief. Zhang Shuocheng: ¡°¡­¡± Huh? ¡°It doesn¡¯t hurt, right?¡± Zhang Yansheng let go of Zhang Shuocheng¡¯s hands, ¡°Because I didn¡¯t exert more strength, do you know why?¡± Zhang Shuocheng shook his head. ¡°Because your sister pleaded for you.¡± Zhang Yansheng said, ¡°I will forgive you this time for the sake of your sister¡¯s face. But in the future, I will put your sister in charge of checking your homework every day, and you have to listen to her. If you make a mistake, she¡¯ll tell you, so you have to listen to her. Do you understand? If you don¡¯t listen to what I say, then it¡¯s not easy for anyone to plead for you again, do you understand?¡± Outside the room, Liang Yingying couldn¡¯t hear Zhang Shuocheng¡¯s shouting, so slammed the door even more anxiously: ¡°Open the door! You open the door for me! Zhang Huan, tell your daughter to open the door!¡± In the room, Zhang Shuocheng nodded. Zhang Yansheng said, ¡°Repeat it to me, who will you listen to in the future?¡± Zhang Shuocheng; ¡°Listen to my sister.¡± ¡°Which sister of yours?¡± ¡°Sister Hehe.¡± Zhang Yansheng slapped a big plush toy on the ground with the ferule and made a loud noise. Zhang Shuocheng trembled with fright. ¡°Which sister will you listen to?¡± ¡°You.¡± She slapped the toy with the ferule again, and it made a loud noise. ¡°Which sister will you listen to?¡± Aunt Wang hurriedly reminded Zhang Shuocheng: ¡°Both, both!¡± Zhang Shuocheng suddenly realized: ¡°Listen to both sisters!¡± ¡°Remember what you said.¡± Zhang Yansheng was finally satisfied and said to Zhang Heling, ¡°Open the door.¡± Zhang Heling had been standing at the door, and she was so nervous when she heard her own mother yelling and knocking on the door. Finally, Zhang Yansheng gave her an order, so she quickly opened the door. When the door opened, Liang Yingying pushed Zhang Heling away and rushed in, hugging Zhang Shuocheng in her arms, like a protective hen. ¡°Zhang Huan, Zhang Huan! You still don¡¯t want to control your daughter?! Shuoshuo is so good today! He wrote his homework all morning! Why did your daughter hit him?¡± Liang Yingying screamed. Zhang Huan was there in front of them, so he couldn¡¯t leave it alone. He glanced at Zhang Yansheng, walked over and asked his son, ¡°Have you been beaten again? Does it hurt?¡± Zhang Shuocheng replied calmly: ¡°It doesn¡¯t hurt!¡± Liang Yingying was taking a deep breath and preparing to perform a wail, but was choked directly on her trachea! ¡°Ahem, ahem, ahem, ahem, ahem!¡± The Three Character Classic (Chinese: Èý×Ö¾­, Èý×Ö½›), commonly known as San Zi Jing, also translated as Trimetric Classic, is one of the Chinese classic texts. This work is not one of the traditional six Confucian classics, but rather the embodiment of Confucianism suitable for teaching young children. ½ä³ß ji¨¨ ch¨« ¨C teacher¡¯s ruler for beating pupils. Ferule ¨C a flat ruler with a widened end, formerly used for punishing children. TN: I can¡¯t find any other equivalent term in English, so I will just use ferule to not confuse it with a ruler. CH 17 Zhang Huan immediately became happy, glanced at Zhang Yansheng, and asked Zhang Shuocheng: ¡°Your sister didn¡¯t hit you?¡± ¡°She did.¡± Zhang Shuocheng said, ¡°But it didn¡¯t hurt.¡± Liang Yingying smoothed her breath, became angry, and slapped Zhang Shuocheng on the back of the head: ¡°Are you stupid?!¡± Before she had time to withdraw her hand, Zhang Yansheng pulled the ferule over and hit her wrist right in the middle, making a crisp sound of ¡®snapped¡¯! Liang Yingying screamed. ¡°She hit me! Zhang Huan! Your daughter hit me!¡± She pointed to Zhang Yansheng and shouted. Zhang Yansheng glanced at her finger and Liang Yingying was frightened, so she pulled her hand back with a ¡®whoosh¡¯. Zhang Yansheng said coldly: ¡°If you want to say something then just speak, why do you have to hit the child? Zhang Shuocheng is still young, so it¡¯s expected for him to make some mistakes. You can spank him on his butt to let him know what he did wrong. But never hit his head! Is the child¡¯s head a place where you can just hit casually?!¡± Liang Yingying said, ¡°What does it matter to you if I hit my son?¡± Zhang Yansheng said, ¡°If you think that it¡¯s none of my business, okay! Then don¡¯t let his surname be Zhang, don¡¯t let him live here, so that I will never care about him.¡± Liang Yingying yelled and said, ¡°Why?! He was born to the same father as yours, so he has to be surnamed Zhang and live here!¡± ¡°Since you know that he and I were born to the same father, why does it not matter to me? Could it be that his origin is suspicious? Do we need to do a paternity test?¡± Zhang Yansheng asked. Aunt Wang turned her face away and suppressed her smile. Seeing that the more they talk, the more outrageous it become, Zhang Huan said, ¡°Okay, okay, don¡¯t talk nonsense. Your younger brother and sister are listening.¡± Just now, when Liang Yingying hit Zhang Shuocheng on the back of the head, Zhang Huan was also very dissatisfied and reprimanded her: ¡°You are the mother of these two children, don¡¯t you know how to take care of your children? Do you have to let Yanyan teach you? Can you just hit the back of their heads? What should we do if they become stupid?¡± ¡°I¡­¡± Liang Yingying was in the wrong and her voice was weakened, ¡°I was just anxious for a moment.¡± Then, she became angry again: ¡°It¡¯s already evening and Shuoshuo is going to sleep now. But she still comes up to beat Shuoshuo. Is she being reasonable?¡± In the past, Zhang Heling didn¡¯t dare to interrupt at such time, because if she dared, Liang Yingying would definitely pinch her. But Zhang Yansheng spoke to her yesterday and told her to speak boldly when she wanted to say something. She hesitated, moved a little closer to Zhang Yansheng and a little further away from Liang Yingying, then told Zhang Huan: ¡°My sister told Shuoshuo in the morning that he must finish today¡¯s homework before noon. Shuoshuo did not finish it until the afternoon. Sister said that it¡¯s because of the one-hour delay, so she hit him on the palm of his hands. But my sister didn¡¯t exert any strength at all, so the hit was particularly light, and Shuoshuo wasn¡¯t hurt at all.¡± Zhang Shuocheng also said happily: ¡°Yes, it doesn¡¯t hurt at all!¡± Liang Yingying was almost maddened with Alzheimer¡¯s disease by this pair of idiots. Zhang Huan smiled and pinched Zhang Shuocheng¡¯s nose: ¡°Sister scares you, right? Let me tell you, if you dare not listen to your sister, then she will really hit you next time.¡± He glanced at Liang Yingying again with deep meaning in his eyes: ¡°Look at how Yanyan cares about her younger brother¡¯s studies.¡± Liang Yingying choked. She has to go shopping, play cards, go to beauty salon, and party with her girlfriends every day. She is so busy, so how can she have time to take care of her children¡¯s studies? Besides, what is the purpose of paying tuition fees? Isn¡¯t there a teacher in charge of it? If they don¡¯t study well, then it¡¯s the teacher¡¯s responsibility! Why else would you send them to school?! Unable to defend herself, she had to stare at Zhang Heling bitterly. This silly daughter really can¡¯t tell the enemy from the other! Such a fool! Zhang Heling shrank behind Zhang Yansheng. Zhang Yansheng said, ¡°Okay, let¡¯s rest early. Let¡¯s go down.¡± She glanced at Zhang Shuocheng again: ¡°Tomorrow is still the same rule. Before twelve o¡¯clock at noon, you must finish your homework for the day.¡± Her tone was ordinary, but her eyes were sharp. Zhang Shuocheng was really afraid of her now, and he mumbled and said, ¡°I know, okay?!¡± This attitude is not really good. Zhang Yansheng pondered and will later find time to slowly ¡®educate¡¯ him in the future. She tapped Zhang Heling on the shoulder, Zhang Heling knew it, and shouted, ¡°Good night, Mom and Dad!¡±, then she turned around first. Zhang Yansheng followed her to separate and protect her from Liang Yingying, and they went downstairs together. Zhang Yansheng used to ignore Zhang Heling at all, but now it seems that the two sisters have become affectionate. How nice! Zhang Huan thought with relief. He said: ¡°Let¡¯s sleep.¡± Liang Yingying said, ¡°You go first. I will talk to Shuoshuo.¡± Zhang Huan said, ¡°Hurry up.¡± Then, he went back to their room first. As soon as Zhang Huan left, Liang Yingying closed the door and cursed Aunt Wang: ¡°What¡¯s wrong with you? I¡¯m giving you a salary, but you can¡¯t take care of the children and even let Shuoshuo get beaten?¡± Aunt Wang felt wronged: ¡°I went to the bathroom¡­¡± ¡°Let me tell you, you will watch Shuoshuo properly in the future!¡± Liang Yingying said, ¡°If you see that Shuoshuo will be beaten again, you have to stop it!¡± Aunt Wang refused: ¡°Then how can I stop it? I¡¯m only a nanny, so I can¡¯t beat her. She is the eldest lady of the Zhang family. If I hit her, then will she not say something about it? Your husband is going to fire me! Look at how precious he treats this daughter, he only scolded you but not her.¡± This really poked Liang Yingying¡¯s sore spot. It¡¯s been bad in the past few days because Zhang Huan suddenly began to protect Zhang Yansheng. Liang Yingying was also wondering what kind of wind was blowing. She remembered that Zhang Huan had already been titillated by her just a moment ago. She manipulated Zhang Huan into going to bed, and he was still waiting for her. She hurriedly said, ¡°You have to stop it anyway. If you can¡¯t stop it, then you have to stop it!¡± Aunt Wang said, ¡°It is also natural for a sister to take care of her younger brother. Look, after Miss Yanyan took care of him, Shuoshuo obediently did his homework! If I stop it, Shuoshuo won¡¯t do his homework again. When the time comes that Master learns about it, then I will say that you just let him be!¡± Liang Yingying choked and said angrily, ¡°Who said Shuoshuo would not be allowed to do his homework?¡± ¡°As long as Shuoshuo does his homework well, her sister won¡¯t beat him up.¡± Aunt Wang said, ¡°Looking at Miss Yanyan, I don¡¯t think she¡¯s being unreasonable. To teach a younger brother is to let him follow good examples, and not to teach him do bad things.¡± Aunt Wang still didn¡¯t say all her opinions, but the little boy didn¡¯t get beaten up when he was young, so he became so lawless. She often hates him and wants to beat him, but she just can¡¯t. ¡°You¡­¡± Liang Yingying was annoyed. It¡¯s really a nightmare, every one of them is speaking for Zhang Yansheng. After a while, she couldn¡¯t refute it because she was thinking about Zhang Huan who is still waiting for her in the bedroom. That¡¯s the person that she has to coax with all her heart. She left angrily: ¡°Let Zhang Yansheng wait for me!¡± Then, she walked out. Aunt Wang curled her lips. She has been with Liang Yingying for many years and knows that she is only a second wife, so she doesn¡¯t really look up to her in her heart. She said to Zhang Shuocheng, ¡°Do you understand? If you do your homework well, your sister won¡¯t beat you casually. Look at her beating you these two days because you did something bad!¡± Zhang Shuocheng was upset: ¡°I hate her!¡± ¡°Then, tell it to your mother. It¡¯s useless to tell me, I¡¯m just a nanny.¡± Aunt Wang said, ¡°You have the ability to tell your mother not to go out, to protect you within this family all day, and to tell your sister not to beat you up.¡± However, even Zhang Shuocheng knew that it was impossible. His mother is a woman who is extremely keen to go out and can¡¯t stay at home at all. Today, he asked her not to go out, but he was slapped in the butt instead. Moreover, when she was strangled on the sofa by her sister yesterday, she couldn¡¯t even resist. His mother is simply unreliable. Naughty children are too daring, 100% of that is because there are incapable parents behind them. Some of these parents usually protect their kids from being beaten, and some parents would even wipe their butts for the aftermath. But now, Liang Yingying, an incapable parent, is very unqualified, very much! Without an incapable parent, a naughty child would have no guts. Aunt Wang said, ¡°Go to bed quickly and remember to do your homework first when you wake up tomorrow. After you finish your homework, your sister won¡¯t beat you up if you play casually afterwards.¡± Zhang Shuocheng finally fell asleep angrily. When he got up the next day, of course, he took it for granted so he played first. Children of his age are like this; they turn their heads and forget what they have said. But Zhang Heling was much better. After breakfast, she said to Zhang Yansheng: ¡°Sister, I¡¯m going to watch Shuoshuo do his homework!¡± Zhang Yansheng said, ¡°Don¡¯t delay your own homework.¡± Zhang Heling promised: ¡°I won¡¯t, I will write a 3-day worth of homework in a day, and I will finish another set of homework in a few days!¡± This child belongs to a small family that no one pays attention to at home. No one urged her to study, but she managed herself well. But Zhang Yansheng really couldn¡¯t really remember how Zhang Heling¡¯s academic performance was. After all, she had never cared about this younger sister before. Anyway, her mother and their common father praised the little girl¡¯s studies without ever seeing her grades. So probably, her grades are average, Zhang Yansheng thought. ¡°Okay, go ahead.¡± Zhang Yansheng said, ¡°If he is not obedient, then call me.¡± Zhang Heling felt her eyelids twitch when she remembered the appearance of her elder sister coming upstairs with a ferule. In the short staircase, where her eldest sister doesn¡¯t speak, it gives people a sense of tension in the future. But it¡¯s really useful to the little bastard Zhang Shuocheng. ¡°Okay!¡± She agreed and went upstairs bouncing on the ground. Zhang Shuocheng was actually playing. Zhang Heling scared him: ¡°Eldest sister asked me to see you do your homework. If you can¡¯t finish it before noon, the eldest sister will come up and beat you.¡± Zhang Shuocheng hesitated for a moment and glanced at the door. Zhang Heling is his own sister and she knows what he was thinking, so she immediately said, ¡°Mom hasn¡¯t gotten up yet! She gets very angry if you dare to disturb her, she will yell at you and smash you with a pillow!¡± This is true, both siblings have experienced it firsthand. Zhang Shuocheng didn¡¯t give up, his mouth hardened: ¡°Then I¡¯ll lock the door! She won¡¯t be able to get in!¡± Zhang Heling reacted quickly and said, ¡°Haven¡¯t you seen the unlocking advertisement posted on the telephone pole outside the school? Just make a phone call to unlock it, and you can open any lock!¡± The siblings quarreled with their wits, Aunt Wang covered her mouth and said cheerfully, ¡°You can¡¯t write well, but you have to finish all your homework before school starts. So, if you don¡¯t write now, no one will do it for you anyway!¡± Zhang Shuocheng finally gave up, sat down at his desk with a sigh, and spread out his homework. CH 18 Enchantress | December 25, 2021 Zhang Yansheng was also studying in the room all morning. She made a plan for herself to bring back all the knowledge from middle school before the end of the summer vacation. In the basic education stage, there are many things to memorize by rote; and mathematics, physics, and chemistry are all formulas. It has been many years since Zhang Yansheng said goodbye to these things. So now, she basically had to learn them all from scratch. She stuffed knowledge into her mind two days ago, and it was really painful. On this day, she finally felt that the blocked areas of her brain had been hard-opened, so she began to absorb and digest it gradually. When it was time for lunch, an aunt downstairs called her. She hung up the phone and went downstairs, but she ran into Liang Yingying on the way, who was wrapped in a silk nightgown. Zhang Yansheng was a little surprised that she didn¡¯t go out today. When Liang Yingying lifted her long hair comfortably and deliberately exposed her neck, Zhang Yansheng suddenly realized that she was not going out, but had just gotten up instead. The skin exposed on her neck and chest was covered with strawberry marks, suggesting the reason why she got up so late today. She said lazily: ¡°I was exhausted last night. I have to have lunch quickly. I made an appointment to go shopping in the afternoon.¡± Her charming eyes are silky, and the breath of heat is exuded all over her body. Zhang Yansheng stared at the strawberry marks, and suddenly remembered. In the past, on weekends or holidays, there were indeed times when Liang Yingying would get up very late. If she got up late, she would often dress very exposed and would dangle in front of Zhang Yansheng, with strawberry marks on her neck. This situation has actually existed since a long time ago. It¡¯s just that Zhang Yansheng didn¡¯t understand it until this time. She didn¡¯t understand it until she got to high school. Occasionally, she would feel sick when she saw it and thought that it was a trace left by Zhang Huan. However, it was just disgusting. Zhang Yansheng had never realized before that Liang Yingying did not inadvertently let her see this. Liang Yingying did it on purpose! With an ostentatious and proud mentality, she deliberately let Zhang Yansheng see the traces of her and Zhang Huan, and deliberately disgusted Zhang Yansheng! An adult woman secretly uses her sexual affairs with a man to disgust an underage girl. That man is still the girl¡¯s father. Zhang Yansheng stared at Liang Yingying. Right now, she is no longer ashamed or disgusted by the traces of male and female sexual affairs. However, she really felt sickened by Liang Yingying¡¯s mentality and behavior. Zhang Yansheng took out her cellphone blankly and took a few pictures of Liang Yingying¡¯s chest and neck. Liang Yingying hadn¡¯t reacted yet and continued to go downstairs. Then suddenly, Liang Yingying was dumbfounded and caught up: ¡°Hey, why did you take pictures of me?¡± ¡°You are bare-chested, didn¡¯t you just show it to me?¡± said sarcastically, ¡°I took some pictures, so I can take a good look.¡± Liang Yingying wrapped the left and right sides of the open silk nightgown, fastened her belt, and ¡®covered¡¯ herself up: ¡°You, delete them for me!¡± Zhang Yansheng stopped and gave her a sideways look. She opened her palms, made a fist, opened it again, and made a fist again. ¡°I advise you¡­ it¡¯s best not to approach me within half a meter.¡± Zhang Yansheng said, ¡°Everyone has a self-defense mechanism. When a disgusting thing approached me, I wanted to punch it naturally.¡± Liang Yingying remembered Zhang Yansheng strangling her the night before, and she didn¡¯t know exactly what happened at that time. Her fingers were like pincers and she couldn¡¯t break from her. It really didn¡¯t look like the strength of a 15-year-old girl. She instinctively moved a little farther away from Zhang Yansheng: ¡°I¡¯m telling you, what you took just now, delete them for me!¡± Zhang Yansheng gave her a blank look and went to the dining hall. The aunts are already setting the dishes. Zhang Yansheng went straight over and sat on the main seat. Liang Yingying wanted to talk to her, but Zhang Yansheng¡¯s eyes swept over, and she cringed inexplicably. With a snort, she sat down at the other end of the long table. Anyway, she just woke up and her stomach hadn¡¯t woken up yet, so she couldn¡¯t eat rice and stir-fry food with Zhang Yansheng and the others. The maid asked: ¡°What does Madam wants to eat?¡± Liang Yingying said, ¡°The usual ¡ª milk, oatmeal, and vegetable salad.¡± The maid went to prepare them. Zhang Yansheng did not look up at her either. She fiddled with her cellphone, looked at the photos just now, and picked one that didn¡¯t show her face, only the neck and her cleavage outside the sexy nightdress, and posted it on her Moments.1 She blocked other people, so it was only visible to the ¡®relatives¡¯ group. She included the text: ¡°My dad¡¯s wife only got up at this time and kept yelling at me that she¡¯s so tired, as if she didn¡¯t have any strength. What does she mean, does she want me to accompany her to the hospital to check the rashes on her chest? Nice try.¡± Posted. Zhang Heling and Zhang Shuocheng also came down. Zhang Yansheng put away her cellphone, said nothing, and cast her gaze at Zhang Shuocheng. ¡°Baby~¡± Liang Yingying greeted Zhang Shuocheng, ¡°Come and have lunch now!¡± Obviously, her children were all in front of her, but she only had her son in her eyes. Zhang Yansheng found Zhang Heling¡¯s expression indifferent. She had obviously become accustomed to being ignored like this a long time ago. Zhang Shuocheng ignored Liang Yingying, stared at Zhang Yansheng¡¯s gaze and walked over, full of confidence, and said in a rough voice: ¡°I have finished my homework today!¡± ¡®I am very proud. You have no reason to beat me now, right?¡¯ Zhang Yansheng asked slowly, ¡°Do you have to be beaten up before you can learn how to properly address people?¡± Zhang Shuocheng froze. Zhang Heling shoved him behind her back: ¡°Call her sister!¡± Zhang Yansheng said, ¡°Repeat what she just said.¡± Liang Yingying screamed strangely: ¡°What are you doing, picking bones from the eggs?2 Shuoshuo, ignore her!¡± Zhang Shuocheng hesitated. Zhang Yansheng smiled and said, ¡°Believe it or not, the first thing your mother will do after lunch is to put on makeup and change her clothes, then she will go out.¡± Zhang Shuocheng looked at Liang Yingying and saw her expression with her mouth open and unable to say anything to refute, which proved that Zhang Yansheng was right. Zhang Heling urged him again from behind. Zhang Shuocheng finally relented and swallowed his anger, then said, ¡°Sister, I have finished my homework today.¡± Zhang Yansheng raised her eyes to look at Zhang Heling. Zhang Heling understood it and hurriedly said, ¡°He has finished writing. I have checked it. There are many mistakes, but I have asked him to correct them.¡± Zhang Yansheng nodded: ¡°Not bad, you can play whatever you want in the afternoon. Let¡¯s eat.¡± Zhang Shuocheng was relieved and cheered. Zhang Heling also smiled with a sense of accomplishment that she had fulfilled her great responsibility. The two of them sat on Zhang Yansheng¡¯s right and left side ¡ª since the three of them had breakfast, they were eating a decent lunch now. Unlike Liang Yingying, who just got up, she had to eat some light food to wake up her stomach. It¡¯s just that this picture really dazzles Liang Yingying. Why does it seem that the cubs she gave birth to have listened to Zhang Yansheng¡¯s words? How can this work?! Liang Yingying turned her eyes and asked Zhang Shuocheng, ¡°Shuoshuo, do you want to play your game console?¡± Zhang Shuocheng¡¯s game consoles, cellphone, and handheld computer were all locked up by Zhang Huan that night in anger. Zhang Shuocheng hadn¡¯t touched them for three days. His eyes lit up and he said loudly, ¡°Yes!¡± However, he hesitated again: ¡°But Dad locked it!¡± Liang Yingying trembled with a smile and said, ¡°Silly child, mom has the key! You just wait, have lunch first, mom will give it to you later¡­¡± Zhang Yansheng interrupted her and said, ¡°My dad said that he is not allowed to touch the game console for a week. Is what my dad said rubbish?¡± ¡°Hey, your father is Shuoshuo¡¯s father, and I am Shuoshuo¡¯s mother. His dad saying not to play is okay, but now that his mom says he can play, can¡¯t he?¡± Liang Yingying said. Before Liang Yingying could speak again, Zhang Yansheng¡¯s cellphone rang. Zhang Yansheng glanced at the incoming call, stretched out her finger and gestured to Liang Yingying, motioned her to ¡®shut up¡¯, and picked up the call. Unsurprisingly, this call was made by Zhang Huan. The first person to see Zhang Yansheng¡¯s post in Moments was her uncle¡¯s son. Her cousin was drinking coke at the time, and he sprayed it out in one mouthful all over the table. He coughed and hurriedly called his father, which is Zhang Yansheng¡¯s uncle and Zhang Huan¡¯s eldest brother: ¡°Dad! Look at the post in Moments, Yanyan¡¯s Moments, the one she just posted! Don¡¯t ask what it is, just look at it!¡± Zhang Huan received a call from his eldest brother in the office, he slapped his face and cursed, and finally said, ¡°What the hell?! Delete it quickly! If you let mother see it later, then you will not have a good end!¡± Zhang Huan was baffled. When he clicked on Moments, he almost passed out in a fit of rage. He quickly called Zhang Yansheng. At the dining table of the Zhang family, Liang Yingying, Zhang Heling, and Zhang Shuocheng heard Zhang Yansheng¡¯s voice so calm and even cold. ¡°Delete it? Why?¡± ¡°Can¡¯t be seen by others? Then why did she let me see it on purpose?¡± ¡°I have never seen anything that cannot be seen by others. What I can see as a middle school student should be suitable for all ages.¡± ¡°Yes, it¡¯s like that, so I don¡¯t understand why it can¡¯t be seen by other people. Am I not human?¡± ¡°Okay, yes, I promise you.¡± Zhang Yansheng hung up the call and said nothing. She picked up her chopsticks and prepared to eat. ¡°Did you hear what I just said?¡± Liang Yingying continued the topic just now. She is happy to do and emphasize anything that can prove her ¡®legal wife¡¯ status. She said to Zhang Yansheng: ¡°Your dad? What happened to your dad? You have to understand that your dad is my husband! I am your father¡¯s old man¡­¡± Liang Yingying¡¯s cellphone also rang suddenly, and the ringtone covered her last words. She took a look, suddenly became happy, picked up the cellphone to answer it, and whispered in front of the children: ¡°Hey, husband~¡± Zhang Heling had goosebumps hearing the word ¡®husband¡¯, it was so sticky that she really didn¡¯t want her mother to talk like that. She also met her classmates¡¯ mothers, and they didn¡¯t seem to be like her mother, she thought with distressed. He was so gentle last night, as Liang Yingying consciously coaxed Zhang Huan very well, but who knew that Zhang Huan¡¯s roar would come from the phone. ¡°What are you wearing?! Go and change your clothes!¡± ¡°Do you really have to show the traces on your body to the children?! You really have to show it to the children?! Don¡¯t you have any compulsion in your heart?!¡± ¡°Hurry up and change clothes for me! There are two little girls in the family! D*mn it! Don¡¯t lead them astray!¡± ¡°Liang Yingying! You are my wife now! You are my children¡¯s mother! You have to be a f*cking serious and decent person!¡± ¡°If you let me know that you show this conduct in front of my daughters again, then just get lost!¡± CH 19 The aunts were covering their mouths and laughing in the kitchen, and they didn¡¯t dare to make a loud noise. ¡°Master¡¯s voice was about to roar from the phone. I brought the milk and cereal for her, and I really heard it. He told her to go up and change clothes.¡± ¡°I brought the food and just saw her go upstairs dejectedly.¡± Hey, Old Wang, you followed her in from outside. Was she like this before?¡± They all knew that Aunt Wang followed Liang Yingying into this family, and they were all curious. Aunt Wang curled her lips and said, ¡°Don¡¯t mention it. When we were outside before, Hehe and Shuoshuo were both young, so they were all right. Afterwards, I followed her here and found that Miss Yanyan is such a big girl already, then I wondered what she will do for them to connect. Who would¡¯ve thought that she will look like this whenever her husband leaves in the morning? No scruples at all.¡± Aunt Luo has been dissatisfied with this matter for a long time and immediately said, ¡°Exactly, it¡¯s like a stye on the eye.1 When the first wife was still here, she would dress neatly at all times. Even if she was too sick to walk, she would wear a wig and would even comb her wig. She told me that she didn¡¯t want her husband and child to see her look sluggish, especially to let Yanyan know that girls should dress decently at all times.¡± Aunt Wang also said, ¡°That sounds like being a real mother. Oh, look at us¡­¡± Thinking of the bloody appearance of Liang Yingying being scolded by her man just now, several aunts covered their mouths and laughed again. This Miss Yanyan has grown up. When she was a child, she didn¡¯t even know whenever Liang Yingying disgusted and embarrassed her secretly. Now she is beginning to understand things, and in the future, she will not be easy to bully. Liang Yingying refused her girlfriends¡¯ invitation for the first time and did not go out. She stayed at home honestly and waited for Zhang Huan to come back. Zhang Shuocheng had completed his homework in the morning, so Zhang Yansheng didn¡¯t care if he played casually in the afternoon. She mostly just controls him to prevent him from committing crimes in the future. As for controlling him to have a good character, to be hardworking, studious, and a good boy? That¡¯s a lot of thinking. It¡¯s just that Zhang Shuocheng pestered Liang Yingying to take out the game console for him. Liang Yingying had just been scolded by Zhang Huan on the phone, and she was afraid that Zhang Yansheng would complain, so she refused to take it out for Zhang Shuocheng. Zhang Shuocheng was rolling on the ground. Liang Yingying was upset because Zhang Huan lost his temper, so she picked him up and hit his butt a few times ¡ª in Liang Yingying¡¯s cognition, of course her precious son could not be beaten, unless it¡¯s done by herself. As a result, Zhang Heling was soft heartened and lent Zhang Shuocheng her latest game console. Zhang Shuocheng wanted to run to play after he got it. It just so happened that Zhang Yansheng was about to go out with a bag on her back and ran into him. Zhang Yansheng yelled on the spot: ¡°Stop right there!¡± Zhang Shuocheng was so scared that he didn¡¯t dare to run again. Zhang Heling hurriedly told Zhang Yansheng: ¡°I took the initiative to lend it to Shuoshuo, he didn¡¯t snatch it this time.¡± Zhang Shuocheng also nodded vigorously: ¡°I didn¡¯t snatch it!¡± Zhang Yansheng rolled her eyes and asked, ¡°Did you say thank you to your sister?¡± Zhang Shuocheng was taken aback and asked, ¡°She is my sister, so why should I thank her?¡± Zhang Yansheng glanced at Zhang Heling. The stupid girl looked confused and obviously didn¡¯t think that her younger brother should say ¡®thank you¡¯ to herself. Children¡¯s education is taught by Zhang Huan and Liang Yingying, so this is the result. To chance upon such a pair of parents, Zhang Yansheng even felt that Zhang Shuocheng was not so annoying. ¡°No matter who it is, even if it is your biological parents, or a sister of a compatriot, an aunt who takes care of you, a classmate who helps you, a waiter in a restaurant, or even a stranger on the street, anyone, as long as you have received help and care from the other party, you should give your gratitude.¡± ¡°She is your sister, that¡¯s right. But she is not obliged to lend you her game console to play. That is her stuff. She has the right to make her own decisions. She can¡¯t just give it to you, she doesn¡¯t owe you anything.¡± ¡°But because she is your sister, she has feelings for you and can¡¯t bear to watch you cry, so she lent you her own.¡± ¡°This is because she treats you well, not because she owes you. You have to understand that your sister owes you nothing. She treats you well, shouldn¡¯t you say ¡®thank you¡¯?¡± Zhang Yansheng¡¯s tone was stern and her brows were tight. Under her coercion, neither of the two children dared to speak. Zhang Yansheng was right, not to mention Zhang Shuocheng, even Zhang Heling couldn¡¯t refute it. Both kids had the feeling of ¡®it turned out to be like this¡¯. Zhang Heling looked at Zhang Shuocheng: ¡°Hurry up, thank me!¡± Zhang Shuocheng was a bit awkward, but he remembered that the kindergarten teachers and elementary school teachers have also taught this to them. It¡¯s just that when he said ¡®thank you¡¯ to Zhang Heling, Liang Yingying points her finger at his head and said, ¡°Why did you say thank you to your sister?¡±, and then she said to Zhang Heling, ¡°Why did your brother have to say thank you to you?¡± Over time, the siblings got used to it. One is used to not being grateful, and the other is used to not receiving gratitude. Zhang Shuocheng was awkward for a while, and under Zhang Yansheng¡¯s gaze, he still said to Zhang Heling, ¡°Thank you, sister.¡± Zhang Heling was very happy. She found the feeling of being a sister and said with a smile: ¡°You have to thank me from now on!¡± Looking at her being complacent, Zhang Yansheng rolled her eyes, stretched out a finger to poke her forehead, and asked: ¡°If Zhang Shuocheng didn¡¯t come to snatch your game console that day, but borrowed it from you instead, would you lend it to him?¡± Zhang Heling said naturally: ¡°Yes. He only needs to tell me that he will borrow it. But he came up and grabbed it from my hand, so I went after him angrily and wanted to grab it back.¡± Zhang Yansheng pressed Zhang Shuocheng¡¯s head with her whole palm: ¡°Did you hear that?¡± This hand was so strong that it hurt his ass a lot. Zhang Shuocheng said confidently: ¡°I heard it.¡± ¡°Can you snatch other people¡¯s things from now on?¡± ¡°No. But what should I do when I want to use other people¡¯s things?¡± ¡°You have to ask that person nicely.¡± The great demon king Zhang Yansheng finally let go of Zhang Shuocheng, who was like a little mushroom, and warned him: ¡°Remember that.¡± She tugged at her backpack and went downstairs to prepare to go out. ¡°Sister, where are you going?¡± Zhang Heling asked, leaning on the railing of the stairs. ¡°I¡¯m going to have boxing training.¡± Zhang Yansheng said. Zhang Heling asked, ¡°Shouldn¡¯t you have piano lessons this afternoon?¡± Zhang Yansheng stopped, looked up at the top of the stairs, and asked, ¡°How do you know?¡± Zhang Heling was puzzled: ¡°You always have it on this day every week.¡± Zhang Huan has no idea about her various lesson arrangements. Since her mother¡¯s death, Zhang Heling¡¯s lesson time has been arranged and coordinated by herself. It wasn¡¯t until she started playing truant in high school that she suddenly opened the door to a new world. It turned out that even if she didn¡¯t go to class on time, even if she played truant, even if she dropped out of the lessons that her mother had arranged for her, no one would talk about it to her at all? Because no one cares about her after all. Zhang Yansheng said, ¡°I dropped out of the piano class.¡± Zhang Heling was a little surprised: ¡°Huh? Why did you quit?¡± ¡°I don¡¯t want to learn it anymore.¡± ¡°But haven¡¯t you studied it for many years?¡± Zhang Yansheng smiled and said, ¡°I don¡¯t like it.¡± In fact, she has never liked playing the piano, but it was her mother who asked her to learn it, so she has been learning it. Now that she is reborn, she still doesn¡¯t like it. Of course, she does not intend to waste her life, but she must also make adjustments to her life. She has no mother for a long time, and no one will care about her and make various arrangements for her. She has to plan her own life by herself. She raised her head and asked, ¡°Do you like playing the piano?¡± Zhang Heling has also learned all the talents she has learned. In Liang Yingying¡¯s mind, these should be the standard for rich women, so she arranged Zhang Heling¡¯s courses according to Zhang Yansheng¡¯s courses. However, the arrangement was made and she was only responsible for paying. As for how well Zhang Heling learned, she didn¡¯t take it personally. According to her own statement, she found such a rich father for the children, so they can be treated well. Zhang Heling nodded and said, ¡°I like it, I especially like playing the piano.¡± After all, people are different from others. Zhang Heling was born to like the piano. Like it or dislike it, you can¡¯t force it. But the piano lessons for both of them were given by the teacher at home. Zhang Yansheng had heard of her in class before, and her teacher¡¯s level could only be said to be average. She found that the parents did not pay attention to their children in class. After bullying Zhang Heling as a child, her attitude was also very perfunctory. After all, Liang Yingying didn¡¯t put much thought into finding a teacher for Zhang Heling. Unlike Zhang Yansheng¡¯s mother in the past, she investigated by herself, compared carefully, and accompanied her in person. ¡°In this case, your teacher can¡¯t do it.¡± Zhang Yansheng pondered for a while, ¡°Let¡¯s talk about it when I come back in the evening. Let me see if my piano teacher has made new arrangements already. If she hasn¡¯t, I will ask her to come and teach you. So, we¡¯ll change your piano teacher.¡± ¡°Really? Sister, you are so kind.¡± Zhang Heling was surprised and delighted, and said, ¡°I told my mother that the teacher was not serious in teaching, but she didn¡¯t believe me at all.¡± Whether the teacher is good or not, the students actually have a little figure in their hearts. Zhang Heling had said to Liang Yingying before, ¡°My teacher doesn¡¯t seem to be very serious in teaching me.¡± Without investigation and research, Liang Yingying subjectively determined that Zhang Heling just didn¡¯t want to go to class, and that she deliberately said bad things about the teacher and wanted to have a new one, so she scolded her instead. Zhang Yansheng frowned slightly and suddenly asked: ¡°Have you ever told Dad?¡± Zhang Heling shook her head: ¡°No, why do I need to tell Dad? He doesn¡¯t care.¡± The little child took it for granted. It can be seen what kind of image Zhang Huan is in the hearts of his children. Zhang Yansheng said: ¡°If you have something in the future and telling your mother doesn¡¯t work, then go and tell your father. If he doesn¡¯t listen, you come and tell me, we¡¯ll force him to listen.¡± Zhang Heling hesitated: ¡°Well, okay. This will not bother Dad, right?¡± Zhang Yansheng sneered: ¡°If you give birth to a child but don¡¯t raise it well, then what kind of life will the child have?¡± Her mother was sick when she was young, so she really didn¡¯t have the energy to take care of her. Zhang Yansheng took care of herself in an orderly manner. Zhang Huan often praised her as ¡°Yanyan is awesome and never let Dad worry about her.¡± Looking back now, how helpless her mother¡¯s eyes were at that time. But she was young at that time, and Liang Yingying¡¯s family of three hadn¡¯t yet appeared. She loved her parents with all her heart. She really liked to hear Zhang Huan praise her like that and strived to do better so as not to cause trouble to her father. Thinking of it now, she just wants to sneer. It¡¯s a really typical kind of widowed parenting. ¡°This is what he should have done. An adult in charge shouldn¡¯t evade responsibility.¡± Zhang Yansheng said, ¡°Let¡¯s talk about it when I come back at night.¡± She said that while walking downstairs. Zhang Heling laid on the railing and shouted, ¡°Come back early, Sister!¡± ¡®Come back early, Yanyan.¡¯ Zhang Yansheng paused in her footsteps. When her mother was in poor health and she has to go out to class, her mother will shout like this from the stairs. At that time, she was sitting in a wheelchair with a wig on her head, and radiotherapy and chemotherapy seemed to have taken away her vitality. After her death, Zhang Yansheng would still go out, but no one would tell her to ¡®come back early¡¯ anymore. Zhang Yansheng looked up and the little girl was still lying on the railing and looking down at her. Seeing her looking up, she smiled like a blooming flower, sweetly, and waved at her. Zhang Yansheng let out a ¡°hmm¡±, then turned her head and left. CH 20 Zhang Yansheng didn¡¯t go shopping after her training, so she came back earlier than Zhang Huan. Zhang Huan¡¯s car only entered the yard and Liang Yingying, who hadn¡¯t dared to go out for a day, hurriedly came down from the third floor to greet him. She had a flattering smile on her face, but Zhang Huan didn¡¯t give her a good face. ¡°Explain to me why¡­¡± He pointed his finger at Liang Yingying with his finger. But he caught a glimpse of Zhang Heling, who was lying on the railing at the corner of the stairs and peeking, so he became stiff. After all, some words are not suitable for speaking in front of children. ¡°Come up with me!¡± He said to Liang Yingying angrily. Liang Yingying followed him upstairs with her eyebrows drooping. Zhang Heling obediently called ¡°Dad¡± and said, ¡°You are back.¡± Zhang Huan responded, touched Zhang Heling¡¯s head, and asked, ¡°Where is your sister?¡± ¡°Inside her room.¡± Zhang Heling obediently said, ¡°My sister is studying in her room every day.¡± Zhang Huan breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, and said, ¡°You have to study hard too.¡± Zhang Heling nodded: ¡°Hmm.¡± In fact, she does her homework seriously every day. She just won¡¯t sell it out in front of adults. Liang Yingying was going to be pissed off by this stupid daughter. As she walked over, she slapped Zhang Heling¡¯s head fiercely with her hand, while thinking that she is so stupid and will not be favored. Zhang Huan caught this sight and scolded her: ¡°What are you doing?! Why did you do that to her?!¡± Liang Yingying hurriedly smiled: ¡°Educating her, she needs to know how to study hard.¡± Zhang Huan snorted, ignored it, and went upstairs. Liang Yingying followed closely, but before leaving, she gave Zhang Heling a glance and cursed: ¡°You are so stupid!¡± Zhang Heling bit her lip and lowered her head. Zhang Yansheng studied for a while in the evening, and when she was tired of studying, she closed her book and wanted to go downstairs. Just when she walked out of the room, she saw Zhang Heling hanging her head and walking towards her own room, with the action of wiping her eyes¡­ It must be tears! Zhang Yansheng paused, then walked over to stop her: ¡°What¡¯s the matter? Did Zhang Shuocheng bully you again?¡± She suddenly appeared which startled Zhang Heling. ¡°No.¡± She was embarrassed to let Zhang Yansheng see her wiping away tears, and hurriedly lowered her head, ¡°Shuoshuo is playing in the yard.¡± Zhang Yansheng asked, ¡°Then why are you crying?¡± Zhang Heling said, ¡°I didn¡¯t cry¡­¡± If the voice is weak, then there is no momentum as you listen to it. This sister is really stupid and weak. Later, she would grow into such a personality. Zhang Yansheng pinched her rounded jaw, twisted her face up and looked at it, and sneered, ¡°Who are you lying to? You just cried.¡± She removed her hand and Zhang Heling circled the ground with her toes embarrassedly. ¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡± Zhang Yansheng said, ¡°I don¡¯t have much patience, so just say it.¡± Zhang Heling whispered, ¡°My mother slapped my head just now.¡± When she heard that it was Liang Yingying, Zhang Yan became angry and asked, ¡°Why did she do that?¡± Zhang Heling was also confused: ¡°I don¡¯t know¡­¡± Zhang Yansheng: ¡°¡­¡± Zhang Yansheng wanted to roll her eyes again. ¡°Come to my room.¡± She said gruffly. Zhang Heling obediently followed to Zhang Yansheng¡¯s room. Zhang Yansheng took out a bag of potato chips and tore it open, stuffed it to Zhang Heling, and asked her to sit down on the sofa: ¡°Come on, what happened? What did you say or what did you do for her to slap you on the head?¡± Zhang Heling ate two slices of potato chips, and the grievances in her heart were healed, so she talked about the situation on the stairs just now. Zhang Yansheng understood it as soon as she heard it. ¡°Your mother thinks you can¡¯t fight with her.¡± she said. Zhang Heling squeezed the potato chip bag and lowered her head. Pitiful. Zhang Yansheng couldn¡¯t bear it again and comforted her stiffly: ¡°Forget it, study hard next semester and get a better score on the exam.¡± Zhang Heling lowered her head and muttered something. ¡°What?¡± Zhang Yansheng became impatient, ¡°Can you speak louder? Let me tell you, if you talk like a mosquito, then no one will pay attention to you and no one will care about you. If you want to say something, then say it out loud.¡± What her sister says always makes sense. Indeed, no one in this family pays attention to her, let alone cares about her. Zhang Heling mustered up the courage, raised her voice, and told Zhang Yansheng: ¡°I am¡­ the first in the class and the second in entire grade.¡± Zhang Yansheng: ¡°¡­¡± ¡°Huh?¡± Zhang Yansheng let out an upward surprised voice, ¡°What did you just say?¡± Zhang Heling flinched for a moment, but facing her sister was more courageous than facing others. She repeated: ¡°I am the first in the class and the second in the entire grade.¡± Zhang Yansheng blinked. How does she remember that this sister¡­ has very ordinary academic performance? It seems that every aspect is very ordinary, and she has never heard anyone praise her in this family. Zhang Heling looked at her as if she didn¡¯t believe it, and hurriedly emphasized: ¡°It¡¯s true.¡± ¡°Then why does your mother think you are not good at studying?¡± Zhang Yansheng asked strangely. ¡°She doesn¡¯t know¡­¡± Zhang Heling became dejected again. When does the mother not know how her child¡¯s grades are? Zhang Yansheng raised his eyebrows. ¡°She didn¡¯t go to my parent-teacher meeting. The parent-teacher meeting was on the same day, Shuoshuo and I. She only went to Shuoshuo¡¯s and didn¡¯t go to our class to take a look.¡± Zhang Heling explained. Zhang Yansheng said, ¡°Are you stupid? You won¡¯t tell her because she didn¡¯t go?¡± ¡°I did¡­¡± Zhang Heling bit her lip and squeezed the potato chip bag out of the folds, ¡°She was putting on makeup and was annoyed¡­ she just said ¡®I know¡¯.¡± Actually, she doesn¡¯t know anything. The little girl on her side said something, but she probably didn¡¯t take it seriously. She was so focused on beautifying herself and hurried out quickly. ¡°Did you tell dad?¡± Zhang Yansheng asked. ¡°I also did¡­¡± Zhang Heling said, ¡°Dad answered a call at that time and told me to talk about it later, but he went out after answering the call.¡± Her sister didn¡¯t speak for a long time. Zhang Heling had a lot to say in her heart, but no one in this family was willing to listen to her. Taking this opportunity, she finally found someone to speak to: ¡°I also got the certificate of ¡®Learning Star¡¯. This certificate is only given to the top three in the class. There are also ¡®Positive Star¡¯ and ¡®Friendship Star¡¯, these two certificates are¡­¡± Zhang Yansheng listened to the younger sister became a chatterbox and started talking endlessly. There was light in her eyes, which was usually invisible. She couldn¡¯t help asking: ¡°Where are your award certificates?¡± Zhang Heling said, ¡°They¡¯re in my room.¡± Zhang Yansheng stood up and said, ¡°Let¡¯s go, take me to see them.¡± Zhang Heling¡¯s eyes lit up, flashing like stars in the sky. Those are the eyes of a child who longs to be loved. Once upon a time, there must have been such a bright light in her eyes, Zhang Yansheng thought. Later, those bright lights were extinguished in disappointment. In Zhang Heling¡¯s room, the little girl took out a paper box full of award certificates from her cherished collection. Zhang Yansheng read the thick stack of award certificates, read her transcripts, read her homework books, and finally had to admit that there was a deviation in her memory. Zhang Heling is not ¡®ordinary¡¯ at all, she is a very smart girl instead. How could such an excellent girl later become such a mediocre, cringing, silent, and cowardly girl? Zhang Yansheng held an award certificate and was puzzled. She raised her head and took a look, facing Zhang Heling¡¯s eyes that were eager to be seen, cared for, and praised. Zhang Yansheng suddenly remembered another look of these eyes. Sister, my mother¡­ is she really a mistress? The younger sister asked, standing in the shadow of the wall. When she went home that day, she had a big fight with Liang Yingying again. Naturally, what the two women said when they quarreled would not be so nice. None of them cared how Zhang Heling felt on the side. She went upstairs to get some things, prepared to leave, and walked out of the room, but her younger sister was waiting for her in the hallway and asked such a question. She sneered at that time: ¡°Mistress? Saying that she is a mistress is too much praise for her, right?¡± Her words were like a knife, tearing apart Liang Yingying¡¯s true face before she became ¡®Mrs. Zhang¡¯. She said: If she hadn¡¯t given birth to you, then she would have been a second wife¡­ one of. To be honest, she has to thank you and Zhang Shuocheng for entering this house, especially you. She said this because she had occasionally heard the aunts gossip before. Aunt Wang, who followed Liang Yingying into Zhang¡¯s house, couldn¡¯t hold back and told others: ¡°Do you know how she became pregnant with Hehe? Let me tell you, I heard her call someone to show off once, saying that she had pierced a hole in a condom, got pregnant with Hehe, and trapped the golden master. With children, even if a man gets tired of her in the future and won¡¯t have a child, then he will always give her money to spend. Anyway, one was born already and Zhang Huan didn¡¯t care about having another one, so Zhang Shuocheng was born again. Usually, a man will not divorce his wife for the sake of his mistress, and it is not that the old house is on fire.1 It¡¯s an ideal state for men to have many lovers, and Liang Yingying was so lucky because Zhang Yansheng¡¯s mother passed away. So, for the sake of Zhang Heling and Zhang Shuocheng, Zhang Huan finally let this woman in. A mistress turned into Mrs. Zhang. That day, Zhang Yansheng waved away after saying those words to Zhang Heling. When she reached the top of the stairs, she glanced back. The younger sister was still standing in the shadow of the wall, with her head lowered. When Zhang Yansheng went downstairs, there was a hidden pleasure in her heart. If Liang Yingying will not be ashamed of her past, then let her daughter be ashamed of her. In those few years, Zhang Yansheng grew up, was bad in studies, and would simply do whatever she wants to. The war between her and Liang Yingying caused a pandemonium in this family, and the whole house was full of unpleasant atmosphere. At this point in time, Zhang Yansheng stared at the little sister who still showed a cute smile in front of her, and she vaguely understood why she would become the kind of character that could not get on the stage. In such a family atmosphere, no matter how good the seedlings are, they can¡¯t thrive. This time, her sister was silent for a longer time. From expectation to disappointment, from disappointment to anxiety, so Zhang Heling began to feel uneasy. But suddenly, she heard Zhang Yansheng asking, ¡°Do you have a scotch tape?¡± Zhang Heling hurriedly said, ¡°Yes.¡± ¡°Scissors?¡± ¡°Yes.¡± ¡°Bring them.¡± Zhang Heling brought all the things Zhang Yansheng asked for, but Zhang Yansheng just picked and picked from the stack of award certificates. She picked up all the award certificates Zhang Heling received from school and said, ¡°Come with me.¡± CH 21 In addition to the reception hall on the first floor of the Zhang family, there is also a small hall for daily living. Zhang Heling brought the scissors and tape, followed Zhang Yansheng downstairs with a question mark, and went all the way to this small hall. Zhang Yansheng looked around and chose a wall. There are exactly two entrances and exits at both ends of that wall, leading to the interior of the house and the courtyard, with such a narrow wall in the middle. There is now a side table with a small sculpture on it. There is a painting hanging on the wall. Zhang Yansheng took a look, then walked over to take off the painting and put it aside. ¡°Cut four short pieces of scotch tape and give them to me.¡± She gave instructions. The child obediently obeyed the instructions, cut a short piece of scotch tape, and handed it to her first. She lowered her head and cut the second one. She looked up and wanted to hand it to her sister, but she was stunned all of a sudden. Her eldest sister pressed her ¡®Learning Star¡¯ certificate on the wall, and one of the corners was fixed there with a scotch tape. Seeing Zhang Heling stunned, Zhang Yansheng took the piece of tape from her hand and exclaimed, ¡°What are you waiting for?! Keep cutting!¡± She also fixed the other corner of the certificate with the second piece of tape. Now, her own hands were freed. Seeing that Zhang Heling was useless, she simply took over the scissors and tape and did the cutting herself. Zhang Heling asked hesitantly: ¡°Is this¡­ okay?¡± ¡°Why not?¡± Zhang Yansheng asked rhetorically, ¡°Isn¡¯t something like an award certificate must to be shown to others? What¡¯s the point of hiding it in a box sneakily?¡± ¡°No¡­¡± Zhang Heling said weakly, ¡°I mean, it¡¯s not good to post it here¡­right? Will Dad and Mom be upset?¡± Zhang Yansheng cut the scotch tape and told her calmly: ¡°This place was originally for posting awards, don¡¯t you remember?¡± ¡°Huh?¡± Zhang Heling was a little dazed. ¡°Forget it, you were still young at that time. It¡¯s amazing that you remember me pushing you.¡± Zhang Yansheng said while pasting, ¡°This wall was used for me to post my awards. At that time, I had many awards and some competition certificates. When you first came home, this wall was almost plastered. This painting was hung here later.¡± Then later, why didn¡¯t you post anything? Zhang Heling thought. Liang Yingying has always disliked Zhang Heling for being ¡®stupid¡¯, but Zhang Heling just won¡¯t please Zhang Huan as she expected. It is definitely impossible for a child who can take the first place in the class to be a fool. Zhang Heling faintly felt that if she asked her sister, what happened ¡®later¡¯ must not be what she wanted to hear; and she also felt that this was probably related to the arrival of the mother and her children. Zhang Heling bit her lip, too timid to ask. Zhang Yansheng posted the ¡®Learning Star¡¯ certificate, stepped back, looked at it with her crossed arms, and asked, ¡°Is it all right? Isn¡¯t it crooked?¡± Zhang Heling also looked around and said, ¡°It¡¯s all right!¡± Zhang Yansheng nodded, torn open the tape, picked up the scissors, and began to paste the second one. Pressing her finger on the wall to gently smooth the tape, Zhang Yansheng didn¡¯t expect that one day, she would do the same. In the past, her father didn¡¯t care about the family affairs. So, whenever she receives a new award certificate, she will give it to her mother as soon as possible. Her mother will stick it on this wall by her own hands. When her mother passed away, this wall was so full of her awards. Later on¡­ no one had posted it for her anymore. She also stopped participating in all kinds of competitions that were actually meaningless. Her academic performance has gradually become ordinary, so the awards in the school cannot be obtained. The award certificates on the wall have become old or even broken. When she went home one day, all of the awards were gone, and a painting that Liang Yingying bought was hanging there. Zhang Yansheng quarreled with Liang Yingying and asked her, ¡°Why did you tear up all my award certificates?!¡± Liang Yingying said: ¡°They¡¯ve been hanging there for so long. They¡¯re all old, okay, and one of them is already damaged. Isn¡¯t it ugly? Look at this house, it¡¯s beautiful everywhere. But with this tattered wall, what kind of look is this?¡± Zhang Huan, who tried to smooth things out at the time, just said: ¡°They¡¯re really old and don¡¯t look good. It¡¯s okay. Let¡¯s hang up the painting first. When Yanyan gets a new certificate, we will post it again here. As simple as that!¡± But Zhang Yansheng knew that this matter was not that simple at all! This is Liang Yingying, a woman who is eroding her home little by little. She can only hate that she was young at that time, she could feel it, but she couldn¡¯t express it, she could only scream and make a big noise. The inability to change is disgusting. ¡°Hey, what about this sticking certificate?¡± Zhang Huan¡¯s voice suddenly sounded in the corridor. The two girls looked over. As soon as Zhang Huan finished training his wife, he was dissatisfied and got hungry. Seeing that it was almost time for dinner, he went downstairs. Before the meal was ready, he used to sit in the small hall first. As soon as he walked to the entrance, he saw what his two daughters were doing there. He likes to see these two half-sisters getting along so harmoniously. This is a peaceful scene that has only been seen in the past few days, and it makes people feel very good when they look at it. He walked over, looked at the award certificate on the wall, and said with emotion: ¡°It¡¯s been a long time since I saw an award certificate posted here. Remember when you were young, they were all plastered here. Later, they were all gone¡­ I kept saying that I would post it when you got a new one, but Dad waited for a long time. Let Dad see it, Yanyan, what kind of award did you get? Hey? Hey? Is this¡­ Hehe¡¯s?¡± Zhang Huan looked embarrassed. Zhang Yansheng didn¡¯t care. Oh please, only elementary school students care about things like awards. Okay, who cares about things like awards for middle school students? Besides, she is actually an adult already. ¡°They are Hehe¡¯s awards from last semester.¡± She paused and added, ¡°It¡¯s in the third grade.¡± Because she had a little doubt that Zhang Huan didn¡¯t even know what grade Zhang Heling was in. She didn¡¯t pay attention to what her sister just said, but Zhang Heling¡¯s eyes lit up. Her sister just called her ¡®Hehe¡¯! This is the first time in her memory! Zhang Huan also noticed it. After all, Zhang Yansheng refused to call Liang Yingying ¡®Mom¡¯ or even ¡®Aunt Liang¡¯. She also called her younger brother and sister by their full name. Liang Yingying often whispered in his ears, and his ears were almost puffed up. Zhang Huan was overjoyed and the unhappiness caused by Liang Yingying had dissipated just now. He said cheerfully: ¡°It¡¯s our Hehe, it¡¯s awesome. Dad will check what kind of awards these are. ¡®Learning Star¡¯? What is this? Is this a commendation for academic performance?¡± Zhang Heling told him: ¡°The top three in the class receive the Learning Star award.¡± Zhang Huan said in surprise: ¡°Our Hehe can enter the top three in the class? That¡¯s great!¡± Zhang Heling hesitated for a moment and said, ¡°I am the first in the class and the second in the entire grade.¡± ¡°¡­¡± Zhang Huan, ¡°Huh?¡± Zhang Yansheng: ¡°Heh.¡± Zhang Yansheng¡¯s ¡®heh¡¯ was full of irony. Zhang Huan couldn¡¯t hold on to his face, and he hurried to make up for himself: ¡°Look at your dad, I¡¯m too busy at work. I don¡¯t even know when our Hehe¡¯s academic performance become this good?¡± Zhang Heling said helplessly: ¡°I have been since the first grade, and I have also taken the first place in the first grade.¡± Zhang Huan: ¡°¡­¡± Zhang Yansheng: ¡°Heh!¡± Zhang Huan smiled embarrassedly: ¡°Your mother didn¡¯t tell me either. Good! Very good! Our Hehe is so awesome!¡± As he said that, he clapped his hands and gave a thumbs up. What about coaxing the children? But Zhang Heling is indeed still a child. It is the first time that Zhang Huan has paid so much attention and praised her for growing up like this. She was a little loss and flattered. The little face was flushed with excitement. Zhang Huan always knew that his little daughter was very cute. After all, both parents have good looks, and none of the three children in the family are ugly. But now he really thinks that Zhang Heling is so cute! He, the father, shouldn¡¯t it be at this time ¡ª when this kind of child does not cry, does not cause trouble, and earns back the honor ¡ª will appear on the stage, give praises and rewards, listen to the children cheering with joy, and admire their happy smiles and shining eyes? As for the crying, noise, and trivial growth processes that require a lot of energy and thought ¨Cthere is still their mother anyway. When you are a father, you are responsible for making money to feed them, and then you can enjoy these good times. It¡¯s a pity that since the death of his first wife, he has not enjoyed such a good time as a father for a long time. Ever since Liang Yingying was brought into the family, the house has been so noisy. Zhang Huan once regretted not listening to his elder brother¡¯s advice or obstruction from his mother. He only thought that the child could be taken care of by a mother, so Liang Yingying entered the family. In fact, at the beginning, his brother and mother¡¯s f*cking idea is to just bring the children in, and spend money on the woman to get rid of her. His old mother even said that she could raise the two illegitimate children. But Zhang Huan was fascinated for a while and didn¡¯t listen. Regret¡­ the person involved stated that he has regretted it for the past few years. ¡°Come on, Hehe, talk to Dad, what do you want?¡± Zhang Huan said with a smile. He suddenly felt as if he hadn¡¯t said this for several years. Zhang Yansheng hadn¡¯t heard this sentence for several years as well. Once upon a time, when this man saw the award certificates, he always smiled and asked: ¡°What does Yanyan want?¡± This is simply his highlight moment. He never asked what kind of effort Zhang Yansheng had put into obtaining these awards, and what kind of effort her mother had put into as well. He would only promise and pay generously. Later, in the future, when Zhang Yansheng died, he also gave up his hopeless daughter a long time ago, and only used money to send her away without seeing her. Zhang Heling wanted to say, ¡°I don¡¯t have anything I want.¡± However, Zhang Yansheng slapped the scissors on the side table with a ¡®snap¡¯, which shocked the father and daughter who were performing the touching scene of ¡®Father¡¯s Love and Filial Piety¡¯. ¡°Hehe needs to change her piano teacher.¡± Zhang Yansheng said, ¡°Her teacher is not good. She is not serious at all. Her class is purely a waste of working hours and cheating your money.¡± Only then did Zhang Huan know that there was still this situation, so he asked Zhang Heling, ¡°Hehe, is that right?¡± Zhang Heling nodded: ¡°She doesn¡¯t care much about me. She just lets me play by myself.¡± Zhang Huan yelled: ¡°Taking my money but didn¡¯t do anything! Fire her!¡± Zhang Yansheng said, ¡°My piano lessons have stopped and I won¡¯t be able to take them in the future. My teacher was found by my mother. She has taught me for many years. She is very good. Let her teach Hehe in the future.¡± Zhang Huan said, ¡°Okay, it happens to be your teacher, so you can just¡­¡± Say hello to her and get things done. However, before he finished speaking, Zhang Yansheng had already operated her cellphone, raised her head and interrupted him: ¡°I sent you the teacher¡¯s phone number, so you can contact her.¡± ¡°With her¡­huh?¡± Zhang Huan was taken aback. ¡°After all, you are the parent. Hehe still has a father after all.¡± Zhang Yansheng smiled sarcastically, ¡°You can¡¯t just pass your child to someone¡¯s care, okay? I¡¯m already taking care of myself, without a mother nor a father. So, I cannot take care of everything for my sister.¡± ¡°Oh, by the way, contact her as soon as possible. My teacher is very popular. It is not easy to make an appointment when her coursebook arrives. I am afraid that it will be too late. If she arranges it for others, then you will not be able to make an appointment.¡± Aunt Luo appeared at the entrance of the corridor at this time and called them: ¡°It¡¯s time for dinner.¡± Zhang Yansheng went straight over. Zhang Huan took Zhang Heling to the restaurant, but suddenly reacted and asked Zhang Heling, ¡°Why is your sister not taking piano lessons anymore?¡± ¡°Sister said she doesn¡¯t like playing the piano at all.¡± Zhang Heling said. Doesn¡¯t like it? He clearly remembered that when she was a child, she practiced the piano very seriously and went to the exam level by level. Every time she takes the next level, his wife will be very happy. So, this child was actually just trying to make his wife happy? Zhang Huan couldn¡¯t help but sigh. Thinking again, Yanyan can¡¯t really talk well. What does she mean by having no mother and no father? Come on, he is still alive. CH 22 Enchantress | December 27, 2021 There is a dining table for six in the kitchen. The Zhang family eats in the dining room, and the aunts eat in the kitchen. Aunt Wang came late, so the others had already eaten. ¡°What took you so long?¡± someone said. ¡°Ke! Such a lying b*tch. Master had a terrible temper and scolded his wife so much. Madam packed up a pile of clothes to throw away, and asked me to go up and help her. I didn¡¯t think it was a big pile of clothes, but I still want to check them to pick something that I can wear at work. But at first glance, they are all halternecks, backless, or would even show your belly¡­ How can I wear those at work?¡± Everyone was amused. Liang Yingying went downstairs to eat, wrapped like a nun, her eyes were a little red, and her face was tight. Zhang Huan only glanced at her and said, ¡°It¡¯s good for you to dress like that from now on.¡± Liang Yingying already knew that Zhang Yansheng had made the complaint, so her heart itched with hatred. The stupid daughter, whom she gave birth to, also said: ¡°Mom, you look good in that style.¡± Liang Yingying was angry from her heart, raising her hand to follow the silly girl¡¯s head. But Zhang Yansheng¡¯s cold gaze flew over and cut off her mind. The expression in her eyes was clearly saying, ¡°Try hitting her.¡± Zhang Huan also frowned at her. Liang Yingying felt cold in her heart, rubbed Zhang Heling¡¯s head stiffly with her raised hand, and said angrily, ¡°Eat your meal.¡± Zhang Huan turned his head and asked Zhang Shuocheng, ¡°Is Shuoshuo naughty today?¡± Zhang Shuocheng said loudly: ¡°No! I finished my homework in the morning! My eldest sister said that I can play casually in the afternoon! Second sister also lent me her game console, and I said thank you to her!¡± When Zhang Huan heard this, he felt that his children were harmonious and his young son was sensible, which made people happy. He opened his mouth and wanted to exaggerate Shuocheng, but Liang Yingying interrupted coldly: ¡°Why do sister and brother have to say ¡®thank you¡¯ to each other? Do you really have to receive some gratitude for letting your younger brother play your game console?¡± She was now staring at Zhang Heling. In a habit, Zhang Heling bows her head and shrinks her neck. The harmonious atmosphere of siblings and the whole family was ruined just like that. Zhang Huan: ¡°¡­¡± Zhang Yansheng didn¡¯t bear the responsibility of educating an adult. She didn¡¯t say anything, only sneered. Zhang Huan¡¯s face was feverish with anger, so he scolded Liang Yingying: ¡°Shut up, what nonsense are you talking about?! Is there such a way of teaching children?¡± He quickly touched Zhang Shuocheng¡¯s head again: ¡°Shuoshuo did the right thing. Whether at home or outside, you have to be polite.¡± Liang Yingying lost face in front of the children, and she felt angry and bitter. She really didn¡¯t know how she was wrong. Why did Zhang Huan always dislike her today? Hasn¡¯t she already stated that she will change the way she dresses? She thought bitterly, tomorrow she will buy a cabinet of old aunt¡¯s clothes to show him! He is the one who obviously likes her to dress sexy! Now, he¡¯s pretending to be proper again! Zhang Huan said to Zhang Shuocheng: ¡°Well, let¡¯s lift the punishment for you in advance and let your mother take out your game console for you.¡± Zhang Shuocheng refused it: ¡°I don¡¯t want that. I want a new one. Second sister has a new model.¡± Liang Yingying asked Zhang Heling in surprise: ¡°Where did you get the new model?¡± Zhang Heling swallowed a mouthful of rice: ¡°Sister bought it for me.¡± She paused and said, ¡°Sister also opened a card for me, so I will have pocket money in the future.¡± Liang Yingying was on fire at this time. She didn¡¯t dare to scold Zhang Yansheng directly and only dared to scold Zhang Heling: ¡°What pocket money does this family¡¯s child want? Is there a shortage of food for you at home or is there a shortage of clothes for you to wear? Why are you so ignorant, what¡¯s wrong with taking money improperly? Dad works so hard, ah, do you know that? You really don¡¯t understand anything!¡± Zhang Yansheng watched Zhang Heling with tears in her eyes. Zhang Yansheng was also angry from her heart. She used to quarrel with Liang Yingying, but with no effect. She took a breath, tried to suppress her anger, stretched out her hand, and rubbed Zhang Heling¡¯s head and whispered, ¡°Don¡¯t cry.¡± Not to mention that it¡¯s okay, Zhang Heling was wronged in the past, so she just endured it by herself. Suddenly there is such a person who can see her grievances, treat her well, and comfort her. How can she bear that grievance? Two drops of Zhang Heling¡¯s tears dropped. Zhang Huan just thought that this little daughter was cute and likable, but now crying after getting scolded by Liang Yingying. Zhang Huan also became angry. ¡°What are you yelling about! Can¡¯t we just have a good meal?¡± He said angrily, ¡°Look, you scared the child.¡± He coaxed Zhang Heling again: ¡°Hehe is a good girl, let¡¯s ignore her. Come on, let¡¯s eat.¡± He also lovingly picked a piece of pork ribs for Zhang Heling. Liang Yingying was aggrieved: ¡°I¡¯m not angry, but what kind of pocket money does this child want? To apply for the card casually, but didn¡¯t tell me. Do you think I¡¯m not her mother anymore?¡± The last sentence obviously pointed to the bald man and scolded the monk. Zhang Huan is not stupid, so he can tell. He was even more angry after hearing this. ¡°I agreed to this matter and Yanyan worked hard to do it. So, what¡¯s the matter?!¡± Zhang Huan said. Liang Yingying was stunned and even felt more aggrieved: ¡°Why didn¡¯t you tell me? I am Hehe¡¯s mother.¡± It¡¯s not Zhang Yansheng¡¯s turn to take care of this girl. Zhang Huan sneered: ¡°You have to be willing to put more thoughts on your children then. Thank God that Yanyan remembered this. Yanyan also started to manage her pocket money in the third grade. Hehe is also getting older. Yanyan, who is an older sister, is not even worried. So, why are you still not happy?¡± He wanted to say that he wants Liang Yingying to simply leave Zhang Heling alone, so as not to ruin Zhang Heling. However, this was so unpleasant and he felt ashamed to say it, so he resisted: ¡°Let¡¯s eat!¡± Zhang Shuocheng rolled his eyes and said loudly, ¡°I also want pocket money!¡± He can have whatever he wants, but he actually has no idea about spending money. Just merely listening to Zhang Heling¡¯s getting pocket money, he also wants it. Plus, he knows that money is a good thing. He had already taken some red money from Liang Yingying¡¯s wallet to give to Aunt Wang to help him with his homework. It¡¯s a pity that Aunt Wang refuses it now. Liang Yingying opened her mouth to agree, but Zhang Huan had already said, ¡°You are still young.¡± Liang Yingying had to shut up. Zhang Shuocheng couldn¡¯t stop so easily, making a noise. ¡°Shut up.¡± Zhang Yansheng suddenly said. She doesn¡¯t care about Liang Yingying, but she has already decided to take care of Zhang Shuocheng. Although she can¡¯t take care of him so well, at least she can take care of him to the point of not harming other people¡¯s children in the future. As soon as she said that, Zhang Shuocheng shrank. ¡°When you are in the third grade, you will be given pocket money.¡± Zhang Yansheng said meaningfully. ¡°But before that, if you dare to take money from an adult and give it to others, and I found out about it, you¡­ be careful with your ass.¡± People who do bad things will feel guilty, so Zhang Shuocheng felt guilty. Zhang Heling knew that this was about Aunt Wang taking money to help him with his homework, so she glared at him and warned him with her eyes ¡°Sister already knew!¡±. Zhang Shuocheng was frightened by Zhang Yansheng several times, shrank his neck, and did not dare to speak. In normal times, if something goes wrong with him, he would lie on the ground and wail for a long time. Today is strange! Zhang Huan blinked and was shocked to see that the eldest daughter restrained her son with a few words. Liang Yingying was also surprised. She glanced at Zhang Huan, and when she saw his surprised and happy appearance, she felt a faint of bad sense in her heart. She always felt that there had been some subtle changes in this family that were out of her control. ¡°Your eldest sister is right.¡± Zhang Huan said with a smile, ¡°You have to listen to your sister, otherwise your sister will beat you, and father will not be able to save you.¡± His mother couldn¡¯t save him either, Zhang Shuocheng had already realized this in his heart. Whenever Zhang Yansheng wants to beat him up, probably only his second sister can intercede a little. Children are born to be soft and afraid of hardness, and their feelings in this regard are actually very keen. They must know who they can bully and cause trouble to, and to know who must not be provoked. After eating and going to the small hall, Liang Yingying saw the award certificates on the wall. She was scolded back by Zhang Huan for getting angry several times in a row today. Now that she knew that she had converged in front of Zhang Huan, she first asked, ¡°Why did you take off the painting? How ugly is this wall now?¡± Zhang Huan said, ¡°It used to be the place where awards were posted.¡± As he said that, he sighed a little bit when he recalled the past when his first wife was still there. When Liang Yingying looked over and found that they were all Zhang Heling¡¯s award certificates, her anger suddenly disappeared. Zhang Huan obviously supported the display of the award certificates here. They all belonged to her own children anyway, which was better than Zhang Yansheng¡¯s award certificates posted on the wall back then. Back then, she deliberately and quietly tore one of them apart, leaving the award certificate hanging in tatters. Under the pretext of being ugly, she told Zhang Huan about it, so she got permission to hang the painting instead. But Liang Yingying still curled her lips: ¡°That little girl, what¡¯s so good about posting these? In the future, Shuoshuo will also post his awards here.¡± Zhang Huan actually didn¡¯t expect much from Liang Yingying, and felt that she could take good care of her children¡¯s clothing, food, housing, and travel. But hearing that, he was still disappointed. Although both of them prefer sons from daughters, there are still some differences. Liang Yingying, as a mother, only has Zhang Shuocheng in her heart and didn¡¯t care about Zhang Heling at all. As for Zhang Huan, when he didn¡¯t have a son, of course he wanted to have one too. Men in this country, no matter how well they say they are, they all want a son in their hearts. It¡¯s just that the Zhang family is not the kind of poor family who only buys a pair of new shoes for their son, and their daughter can only make do with old shoes. Although Zhang Huan did love his son more in his heart, he never thought about treating his daughters badly. He never thought that because his daughters are girls, they should be worthless and should not have to study hard. He just didn¡¯t want to put too much energy into it. But seeing his daughters doing well, seeing them working hard and becoming outstanding, he must still be happy. This is very different from Liang Yingying. Liang Yingying gave birth to Zhang Heling but failed to enter the door of Zhang¡¯s house, but she replaced the first wife instead. The disappointment and resentment in her heart fell on Zhang Heling, so she was extremely harsh on Zhang Heling. Verbal suppression, material things¡­ because the Zhang family is wealthy, children will not be hungry and cold, but it is still hard to tell. That the harshness and coldness of those subtleties do exist. Zhang Heling was clueless, although she felt it, she couldn¡¯t tell. Zhang Yansheng looked at her coldly because she could see clearly. Zhang Huan was disappointed in Liang Yingying and didn¡¯t say anything. Probably because he knew that it was useless to say it. Liang Yingying¡¯s level is just there, so what can he expect from her? He shook his head and raised the tablet a little bit just to get her out of his sight. Liang Yingying had something in her heart, so she leaned over to him: ¡°Husband¡­ my car¡­¡± Zhang Huan was very angry today and Liang Yingying was afraid that he would not buy her a car. When he agreed to her Ferrari, she and her friends spread this news. If she couldn¡¯t buy it, then she would be too embarrassed. Zhang Huan didn¡¯t like seeing her very much at this moment. Indeed, when he was angry during the day, he thought about ¡®what to buy¡¯, so he simply stopped buying it for her as a punishment. But at night, all his three children made him feel better. Hehe studied well, Shuoshuo became obedient, Yanyan and her younger siblings lived in harmony¡­ Liang Yingying rubbed against him, so he said lazily: ¡°Fine, go and see for yourself, and tell me when you¡¯ve picked one.¡± Liang Yingying was so happy that she kissed him and whispered, ¡°Thank you husband!¡± She sneered in her heart, thinking that all men are like this. Look, it¡¯s okay if you just coax them. However, she didn¡¯t know that Zhang Huan was only willing to buy her a Ferrari all for the sake of the children¡¯s faces. She was trying to coax Zhang Huan more, but her cellphone rang. Liang Yingying picked it up, frowned slightly, and answered the call: ¡°Hello, Mom?¡± She said this as she walked out. Liang Yingying came to K City alone and got married into a wealthy family. When her family came to see her, Liang Yingying also gave them money, but refused to let them come often. It¡¯s still disgusting. Zhang Huan only glanced, but didn¡¯t look too much. He didn¡¯t bother to worry about Liang Yingying¡¯s family affairs. CH 23 Zhang Heling went to the kitchen to get ice cream and heard her mother on a call in the hallway. ¡°Liang Zheng? What did he do?¡± ¡°Seriously, he¡¯s causing me trouble again.¡± ¡°Why did you say it won¡¯t work? It¡¯ll be useful if I talk!¡± ¡°Don¡¯t let him come yet, I¡¯ll make arrangements first! What are you talking about, no matter how useful it is, you still have to make some arrangements, right? You can¡¯t just simply talk about it!¡± ¡°Okay, I got it. I will do it as soon as possible. Just wait for my answer.¡± Zhang Heling trotted over with two packs of ice cream, went upstairs, and knocked on Zhang Yansheng¡¯s door. Zhang Yansheng opened the door and asked, ¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡± Zhang Heling raised her hand: ¡°Sister, I took some ice cream, would you like to eat too?¡± This little girl¡¯s big eyes flickered, sweet and cute. Zhang Yansheng: ¡°¡­¡± She bought it all. Zhang Yansheng said: ¡°Come in.¡± Zhang Heling jumped into Zhang Yansheng¡¯s room, and the sisters sat on the sofa and ate ice cream together. Zhang Yansheng turned on the laptop and put on a cartoon. ¡°Sister, my cousin seems to be coming.¡± Zhang Heling said while eating. Zhang Yansheng let out a sigh. Then after a while, she reacted, then she paused and asked, ¡°Liang Zheng?¡± ¡°Sister, you know my cousin?¡± Zhang Heling said a little unexpectedly. She was taken by Liang Yingying back to her grandmother to celebrate the New Year, and she had only met her cousin twice. But since entering the Zhang family, she has also gone back twice. In fact, she is not very familiar with her maternal grandmother¡¯s family and she is also not familiar with this cousin. Zhang Yansheng didn¡¯t answer, she twitched at the corner of her mouth, and put on a sneer. Liang Yingying was a child born in old age and she has an elder brother who is 10 years older than her. Her brother made the family too accustomed to being worthless. When her mother suddenly became pregnant with her, she was actually born with the intention of abandoning her. She was born as a daughter, so the old couple was a bit disappointed, but it¡¯s much better than nothing. They gave birth to her in the end, so she can support them. They thought that she can support and take care of them at their old age. Liang Yingying¡¯s eldest brother is an idler and does nothing, but he looks pretty good, so he¡¯s good at picking up girls. He got someone pregnant early, so they had to get married and gave Liang Yingying a nephew, who was only seven years younger than her. The old couple got their grandson, and they couldn¡¯t close their mouths with joy, coaxing and holding him. He finally got admitted to a prestigious university¡­ junior college course. The old couple felt that he was the golden phoenix at their family, and that they have done their best. As for their daughter, she was arrogant and got married into a rich family, so it is now time to help her elder brother and nephew. Liang Yingying bragged to her family on the call that her words were useful and told her to wait for her arrangements. But in fact, she didn¡¯t mention a word to Zhang Huan that day. She hasn¡¯t gotten a Ferrari yet! Wait for the sports car to get in her hands before she can talk about the nephew! In the evening, Zhang Huan was well served and comfortable. The next day, she immediately pulled over her group of friends to check on the cars. Amidst the envy of a group of girlfriends, she chose one and called Zhang Huan. ¡°Okay, the account number was sent over, and I will ask the finance to transfer money to them.¡± Zhang Huan said impatiently. After the salesman told Liang Yingying that the car payment had arrived, Liang Yingying exerted all the limelight in front of her girlfriends, then waited for another two days. After waiting for a call from home, she finally mentioned it to Zhang Huan: ¡°My nephew just graduated from college and he wants to come to K City. I thought, why don¡¯t you let him come to the company to work? Husband, can you arrange this for me~¡± This is not a big deal. In an enterprise, especially this kind of private enterprise, related households are indispensable. Zhang Huan didn¡¯t care: ¡°Okay, let him come.¡± When Liang Yingying got his permission, she raised her eyebrows and called home with exhalation: ¡°Let Liang Zheng come.¡± Her parents praised her on the call, and the Ferrari clerk called her again and said, ¡°Once the car passed the customs, it can be picked up in a few days.¡± Liang Yingying feels that life is at its peak and that she was walking with the wind. When she ran into Zhang Yansheng at home, looking at that cold face, she could still smile and would not provoke this ancestor. For Zhang Huan, this summer vacation was really peaceful, serene, and beautiful. That weekend, Zhang Yansheng came back from outside, and the hall was full of people. Except for her, all Zhang¡¯s family members are there. ¡°Yanyan is back. Come, come, this is your Aunt Liang¡¯s nephew, Liang Zheng.¡± Zhang Huan greeted her and introduced the young man on the sofa, ¡°This is my eldest daughter, Zhang Yansheng. Come on, get to know each other.¡± Zhang Heling also enthusiastically went over to pull Zhang Yansheng: ¡°Sister, this is my cousin.¡± Zhang Shuocheng sat on the sofa playing with the new game console he bought, obsessed with ignoring others. Liang Zheng has a clear-eyed face of the Liang family, but his eyes are not pleasing. Drifting uncertainly, with many small thoughts flashing, he is not a down-to-earth and sincere person at first glance. ¡°Sister Yanyan, I am Liang Zheng. Oh, my sister is so big now. The last time I saw you, you were just a little girl.¡± Liang Zheng pretended to be affectionate, with a deliberately sleek and sophisticated expression on his face. The ¡®last time¡¯ he said was when Liang Yingying entered this house. With two children, a middle-aged man like Zhang Huan has no sense of ceremony. He was not interested about weddings and the like. He didn¡¯t hold a wedding ceremony for Liang Yingying and only received a certificate, but the Liang family has been there for a few days. It¡¯s just that Zhang Yansheng was violent at the time. Zhang Huan didn¡¯t let his new mother-in-law and his brother-in-law¡¯s family live in the house, and only arranged for them to stay in a hotel. The Liang family, who came from a small place, saw that the son-in-law was generous and allowed them to stay in a luxurious hotel. He also arranged for a car driver to take them around and they could buy things at will. They were so happy from ear to ear. The Liang family didn¡¯t care, but Liang Yingying felt ashamed in her heart, so she hated Zhang Yansheng very much. Facing Liang Zheng, Zhang Yansheng supported her chin and said ¡°Hello¡± lightly. In the days when Zhang Yansheng was reborn, Zhang Huan had an impression of ¡®grown up¡¯ and ¡®sensible¡¯ her in his heart, and her words and existence were more important than before. Zhang Huan explained to her: ¡°Xiao Liang has just graduated from university. I arranged for him to do an internship in the company and work there first.¡± Old foxes never said deadly words. The old fritters never talk to death. Related households can be arranged, but they all ¡®do it first¡¯ and let¡¯s talk about it later. Zhang Yansheng nodded and asked Liang Zheng, ¡°Which university?¡± Liang Zheng raised his chest and said proudly: ¡°H University!¡± Most people would praise it when they heard this. After all, it is a famous university. Who would ask you more like if you are a college undergraduate or not? Liang Zheng has always introduced himself in this way to the outside world, only talking about school, at most talking about majors, and never mentioning undergraduate courses. Then, the beautiful girl from the Zhang family asked directly: ¡°Undergraduate or junior college?¡±1 Liang Zheng was dumbfounded. This girl, why can¡¯t she speak well? Well, although he is indeed only a junior college course graduate, how can anyone just ask people if he is a graduate of an undergraduate or junior college course? But Zhang Huan also looked at him with a smile while holding a cigarette. Liang Zheng has also been to other companies for interviews before, and he knows that he has to submit a certificate of study/experience to any company he goes to, and he has to hand in a copy, so he can¡¯t hide it from others. He had to bite the bullet and replied: ¡°Junior college, junior college course.¡± Zhang Yansheng gave a long ¡°Oh¡­¡± sound, which was meaningful. To Liang Yingying and Liang Zheng, it was extremely ear-piercing. But in their hearts, they felt that Zhang Yansheng, a newly graduated middle school student, knew that she was at most concerned about the high school entrance examination at this age, and not yet at the stage of the college entrance examination. They feel that they are too concerned again. This dead girl shouldn¡¯t be taunting deliberately. Besides, how can she still know in advance that Liang Zheng is a junior college course graduate? She just really can¡¯t speak well! An idiot! ¡°Ah, it¡¯s all the same.¡± Liang Yingying said hurriedly, ¡°You may not know that H University is famous and one of the top universities in the country.¡± In Liang Yingying¡¯s family, parents are typical citizens, and her elder brother is an idler like a hooligan, and her sister-in-law is too lazy. The whole family is pretty good about this nephew, he is a college graduate anyway. And no matter how she is at odds with her family, when facing outsiders, she protects her shortcomings better than anyone else. Liang Zheng changed the subject: ¡°Is Sister Yanyan in high school?¡± It¡¯s better for the nephew to ask such a caring question. Liang Yingying immediately smiled and said, ¡°She will be when the next school year starts. She¡¯ll go to Yi High School. You don¡¯t know, it is the best high school in K City and it costs a lot of money to enter.¡± Liang Zheng also said ¡°Oh¡­¡±, in high level tone. Zhang Yansheng looked at Zhang Huan, although he was still holding a cigarette, his smile remained unchanged, but his eyes cooled down. Zhang Huan also wants face. Zhang Yansheng is not the only one to lose temper after being exposed in front of the newly arrived relatives. Zhang Yansheng smiled and said, ¡°I¡¯m not contending. I can¡¯t get in by myself, so my dad paid for me to be sent in. Now I¡¯m making up classes frantically, thinking about starting a class with better credits.¡± Zhang Huan was very pleased after hearing this. If a child is determined to study hard and enter the good environment of Yi High School, then he will not be afraid of not learning well. When Yanyan was a child, she had a very good academic record. It was only because of the influence of her mother¡¯s death that it fell. In his heart, anyway, he wouldn¡¯t think that Zhang Yansheng¡¯s later grades deteriorated because he married a troublemaker and brought two illegitimate children into the house. It will never be his own fault. Zhang Huan flicked the soot and asked Liang Yingying with a smile: ¡°Where will Xiao Liang live in the future?¡± Liang Yingying said: ¡°He just came to K City and he is not familiar with the life here. I want him to live here at home¡­¡± ¡°Okay, let him stay for a few days, it¡¯s fine.¡± Zhang Huan waved his hand, ¡°Just find a house as soon as possible. Young people have to experience more, and when they leave home, they have to taste the ups and downs.¡± Liang Zheng was stunned. Obviously, his aunt was full of words on the call before, saying that he would just stay at their home. The last time he came to K City, he was very impressed with the big mansion of the Zhang family. Before coming this time, he had already spoken to his friends, saying that he would live in a mansion in K City, and many people were waiting to envy him. He was very dissatisfied and winked at Liang Yingying frequently. Liang Yingying also choked. She also mentioned to Zhang Huan about him living at home. Zhang Huan was a wise man at the time and said ¡®okay¡¯ casually. She thought that this matter was settled. Unexpectedly, Zhang Huan suddenly changed his mind. She gave Liang Zheng a soothing look and said: ¡°Xiao Zheng is still young, so I think¡­¡± ¡°He¡¯s not young anymore. He graduated from college already.¡± Zhang Huan said with a smile, ¡°After I graduated from high school, my father gave me a company to let me practice. As a parent, you have to learn how to let go. Don¡¯t always think about taking care of him comprehensively. For boys, they have to experience it and have to suffer a bit.¡± The old fox blocked Liang Yingying¡¯s words directly. Liang Yingying was dumbfounded CH 24 Zhang Yansheng looked at it coldly, and understood deeply. Her father actually understands everything. Think about it, after all, he is an old fox who has experienced a lot for many years. If he wants to intervene and take care of it, there is actually nothing he can¡¯t do. After all, he is the one who really holds the power and wealth in this family. What is Liang Yingying in front of him? It¡¯s just that in her previous life, he didn¡¯t want to be on her side. Zhang Yansheng felt deeply dull. An aunt came over to call everyone: ¡°Dinner is ready.¡± Zhang Huan took the lead to get up and smiled: ¡°Let¡¯s go and have dinner.¡± The whole family followed him to the dining hall. Zhang Heling turned her head and shouted, ¡°Sister, it¡¯s time to eat.¡± Everyone turned their heads and saw Zhang Yansheng still standing there, with unpredictable expression. It¡¯s not the usual coldness and indifference, but a bit of bitterness. ¡°I¡¯m not hungry, you guys eat.¡± After she finished speaking, she turned around and walked down the corridor on the other side, then went upstairs. Liang Yingying was upset. Her nephew came, but Zhang Yansheng didn¡¯t eat on their first meal together. She clearly didn¡¯t give her a face. Liang Zheng¡¯s face also doesn¡¯t look good. First, the plan for him to live in a luxurious mansion has been changed. Then, the eldest daughter, a teenage girl, who is still so ignorant and naive, doesn¡¯t know how to accompany the guest to dinner. In short, everything is not going well. This person usually claims to be mature and sophisticated. But in fact, his face is full of emotions, and the dissatisfaction is clearly showing on his face now. How can Zhang Huan fail to understand the situation? He was slightly embarrassed. Originally, he wanted to give consideration to the affection of a relative. Liang Zheng is a young man who has just graduated. If he wants to take care of him, he can just train his mind, then it¡¯ll be over. You can do whatever you like. You can handle it by arranging it casually. Such poor relatives are not the type for him to beseech for. But to come and demand for him to give some face? Zhang Huan doesn¡¯t have a pleasing personality. He was also born with a golden spoon and has been raised like that, and has the ability to bear this kind of anger. Zhang Huan still remembers to tell Aunt Luo, ¡°Yanyan is not hungry at this moment, remember to get her something to eat later.¡± Like a loving father. After dinner, Liang Zheng called home in the guest room and complained: ¡°We had an agreement that I will live here, and yet I was asked to go out and rent a house, so what is this? Why didn¡¯t she keep her word?¡± He called home, so the family would naturally call Liang Yingying. Liang Yingying was also annoyed: ¡°What¡¯s the rush, isn¡¯t this just his first day here? So, he¡¯s not going to move out immediately, he¡¯ll stay here for now. Let¡¯s talk about arranging the work first.¡± Liang Zheng stayed at Zhang¡¯s house first with dissatisfaction. On the first night, he took pictures everywhere and posted them to his Moments, which caused a lot of envy. Liang Zheng replied to the comments one by one, gaining great satisfaction in his heart. Those previous grievances have also dissipated a lot. The next day was Sunday, Zhang Huan didn¡¯t go to the company and went to play golf. Liang Zheng watched the driver open the car door for him and then closed it as well. He was very envious of the big boss¡¯ style, and he imagined that he could be like this one day. He wandered around the house, holding his cellphone to record a video: ¡°This is the reception hall, this is the small hall, this lounge is dedicated to my uncle¡¯s alcohol drinks. Look at the wine on this wall, I¡¯m telling you, just this wine, guess how much is it? I¡¯m telling you that you can¡¯t guess¡­¡± Then, he went upstairs again: ¡°This is my room, look at this bathroom! Isn¡¯t it bigger than your bedroom? How magnificent!¡± He came out again: ¡°These two rooms here¡­ this one belongs to my little cousin and this one belongs to my eldest¡­¡± Before the word ¡®cousin¡¯ was spoken, the door suddenly opened, and Liang Zheng could not see anything. He only felt that his eyes flashed and his hands were empty! The cellphone has been waved to the ground by Zhang Yansheng! ¡°What the f*ck?¡± Liang Zheng bent over to pick it up, ¡°My new cellphone! My new cellphone!¡± Fortunately, the stairs and corridors were carpeted, and the cellphone did not break. This is a new cellphone he bought specially for fear of being underestimated by the Zhang family before coming to K City! Although it was not broken, Liang Zheng still felt distressed, and his face was a bit blank: ¡°What are you doing?! Look where you¡¯re going!¡± ¡°As soon as I went out, someone was holding a cellphone in front of me. I thought it was a pervert taking a sneak shot of the girl¡¯s boudoir.¡± Zhang Yansheng said. Liang Zheng choked ¡ª in the early morning, he was indeed recording a video on his cellphone in front of the girl¡¯s door. He can only say bitterly: ¡°Will there be a pervert in your own home?¡± Zhang Yansheng said, ¡°Yes, I am also surprised that someone was taking pictures of my own house.¡± Liang Zheng still wanted to speak, but Zhang Yansheng had already closed the door and went downstairs. When Zhang Yansheng went upstairs again, Liang Zheng was no longer on the second floor. He already went up to the third floor. He actually wanted to take pictures of Zhang Huan¡¯s bedroom. He heard that the master bedroom of such a large mansion is super luxurious. What kind of walk-in closet, what kind of large terrace, and what kind of luxurious big bathtub will there be? He wanted to open his eyes to his poor friends and for them to envy him. It¡¯s just that Liang Yingying hasn¡¯t gotten up as usual, and the door is closed tightly. Liang Zheng sneaked to Zhang Shuocheng¡¯s room instead. Zhang Shuocheng was playing a game console in the room. When he heard the door opened, he was so frightened that he stuffed the game console behind him. Seeing that it was Liang Zheng, he breathed a sigh of relief and complained: ¡°What are you doing? You scared me to death!¡± Liang Zheng was happy and said, ¡°What are you afraid of? What are you doing?¡± Zhang Shuocheng said, ¡°I thought it was my sister who came to check on my studies!¡± Liang Zheng became even more happy: ¡°Are you quite afraid of your sister?¡± Zhang Shuocheng said with a smelly face: ¡°My eldest sister asked me to finish the day¡¯s homework before 12 o¡¯clock noon every day. My second sister is responsible for the inspection. She is so annoying that she will come up every hour to see if I am doing it.¡± Liang Zheng wandered around the room: ¡°Then you haven¡¯t started writing yet? What are you doing? What are you playing with? F*ck? Is this the latest model? Is it licensed?¡± Liang Zheng rushed over, enthusiastic about Zhang Shuocheng¡¯s new game console: ¡°Come on, let your brother play for a while!¡± Zhang Shuocheng has no playmates at home, and neither of his sisters is likely to play with him. Suddenly, someone of the same gender appeared, which was a bit novel, so he gave it generously. It¡¯s just that Liang Zheng didn¡¯t return it to him after playing a game and dying, so he was annoyed: ¡°It¡¯s mine!¡± He reached out and took it back. Liang Zheng blocked him with his elbow: ¡°I¡¯ll just play one more game.¡± Zhang Shuocheng can¡¯t have such a good temper. The freshness of getting a new playmate just now has faded, and he has become bored with this cousin. He grabbed the game console and said, ¡°It¡¯s mine!¡± Liang Zheng hadn¡¯t had fun yet, his eyes rolled, and he began to coax him: ¡°Look at you with so many toys, you can give this game console to your brother. Brother is a guest!¡± ¡°Not giving!¡± ¡°Stingy, your family is so rich, so just let your mother buy you another one.¡± Zhang Shuocheng doesn¡¯t have a complicated mind, thinking about what to say: ¡°Then ask your mother to buy it for you!¡± Liang Zheng choked, and cursed bitterly in his heart: ¡®Little bastard!¡¯ But he said shyly: ¡°Lend it to your brother to play for a while¡­¡± ¡°I don¡¯t want to! I still want to play!¡± Annoyed by the entanglement, Zhang Shuocheng said, ¡°You can borrow it from my sister! She has one too! It is also the latest model!¡± ¡°Which one of your sisters?¡± ¡°My second sister!¡± Speaking of the devil, and she sure is to appear. As soon as he talked about Zhang Heling, Zhang Heling appeared, smiled and said, ¡°Why haven¡¯t you started your homework yet? Do you want to be beaten again?¡± Zhang Shuocheng hurriedly said, ¡°I¡¯ll just play for a while and soon will start writing!¡± ¡°Eldest sister said that the plan for the day lies in the morning. When you wake up in the morning, you have the clearest mind, so you have to use it for learning! That¡¯s why you¡¯re only allowed to play in the afternoon! Hurry up! If you still won¡¯t start writing, then I¡¯ll tell eldest sister to come here!¡± Liang Zheng saw a little child that was restrained by another slightly bigger little child. The scene was really funny. It¡¯s just that although Zhang Shuocheng stood up and was about to start doing his homework, he put the game console in a box that looked like a pirate treasure chest, and put on a plastic lock. He put the plastic key in his trouser pocket and glanced at Liang Zheng with great interest. Liang Zheng: ¡°¡­¡± Little bastard! Zhang Heling looked around and asked, ¡°Where¡¯s Aunt Wang?¡± ¡°She went downstairs to send the dirty clothes.¡± Zhang Shuocheng said. ¡°Oh.¡± Zhang Heling didn¡¯t want to look at Zhang Shuocheng either. This younger brother was very annoying. Seeing that Liang Zheng was there, she said, ¡°Then cousin, watch him do his homework.¡± Did she just give him an order? Liang Zhengyi was happy and asked, ¡°What about you? What are you doing?¡± Zhang Heling said confidently: ¡°I have to do my homework too. My sister asked us to study in the morning. Okay, I¡¯m going down now.¡± Liang Zheng took a look at Zhang Shuocheng, sitting at the desk, who kept on squirming and twisting, and he couldn¡¯t sit still at first glance. Who wants to look after this d*mn kid studying?! Liang Zheng got up and chased Zhang Heling downstairs: ¡°Hehe, Hehe~¡± Zhang Yansheng went upstairs with a glass of juice and heard a noise in Zhang Heling¡¯s room. ¡°Don¡¯t go through my stuff, don¡¯t go through¡­Ouch!¡± The last sound was an obvious cry of pain. Zhang Yansheng didn¡¯t hear it right. When she saw that the door of Zhang Heling¡¯s room was unlatched, she didn¡¯t knock and just pushed the door open. Liang Zheng didn¡¯t notice that he hit Zhang Heling with his elbow, and was still looking through Zhang Heling¡¯s cabinet: ¡°Where did you put it? Hurry up, don¡¯t be stingy. We are cousins!¡± Suddenly, he heard a cold voice asking: ¡°What are you doing?¡± As soon as Liang Zheng turned his head, his eldest cousin Zhang Yansheng stood at the door and her face was frosty. This cousin is not very pleasant to speak with, but she is really beautiful, and she already feels like a big lady. ¡°It¡¯s nothing.¡± Liang Zheng said, ¡°I asked Hehe to borrow her game console to play.¡± Is this what you call borrowing? You just want to steal it, right? Zhang Yansheng¡¯s eyes made Liang Zheng¡¯s face a little uncomfortable. He pretended to pinch Zhang Heling¡¯s nose intimately: ¡°Little stingy! Okay, okay, I know!¡± After speaking, he went out. Zhang Yansheng dodged him sideways and closed the door. ¡°Where¡¯s the game console?¡± Zhang Yansheng asked. In her previous life, Liang Zheng lived in her house for nearly half a year, but then something happened before he left. Zhang Yansheng was so disgusted with this person. One reason is because he¡¯s from the Liang family, and the other reason is that she felt sick of him as a person. She fell over a person¡¯s cellphone with the surname Liang in her last life, because the guy secretly took pictures of her and made her sick. In particular, there were a few pictures inside her room, in which she left her door open, she was wearing only a camisole without a bra in her bedroom, and she didn¡¯t hear any movement outside while playing music. This guy secretly took several private photos from the crack in the door. She bought the game console for Zhang Heling. If Zhang Heling dared to lend it to the person surnamed Liang, Zhang Yansheng would just break it! Zhang Heling turned around and ran to the bedside, opened the drawer of the bedside table, and took out the game console from it. It turns out that she likes to play for a while before going to bed, and she will keep it directly into the drawer of the bedside table after playing. Liang Zheng came in and asked her to borrow a game console. She didn¡¯t want to lend it. Liang Zheng didn¡¯t have the face to bully the child shamelessly, so he rummaged through the cupboard but couldn¡¯t find it. ¡°Fortunately, you are here.¡± Zhang Heling said with a pouting mouth, ¡°I¡¯m so annoyed at him. He asked to borrow my game console. He is an adult! I said no, so he turned my bookcase upside down.¡± Zhang Yansheng raised her eyebrows: ¡°You don¡¯t want to lend it to him?¡± ¡°I don¡¯t want to!¡± ¡°He is your cousin.¡± ¡°He¡¯s annoying.¡± ¡°Why?¡± Zhang Heling couldn¡¯t tell why or what happened. ¡°Anyway, didn¡¯t my mom take me and Shuoshuo back to her hometown last year, and I find that he was kind of annoying.¡± Zhang Yansheng understood. The child couldn¡¯t tell why, because the disgust was in the attitude of speaking and the details of doing things. Girls are especially sensitive. Zhang Heling also hated Liang Zheng, so Zhang Yansheng was in a much better mood. As soon as she saw Zhang Heling frowning and rubbing one of her chests as she talked, she asked: ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± Zhang Heling¡¯s gritted her teeth: ¡°His elbow hit me just now and it hurts.¡± Zhang Yansheng looked at her for a while and asked: ¡°Has it started to develop?¡± Zhang Heling raised her eyes, those eyes were dark and big, very ignorant. CH 25 ¡°It¡¯s just¡­¡± Zhang Yansheng thought for a while and told her, ¡°Does it sometimes feel a little bit swollen, that if you accidentally touch it, then it will be super painful?¡± ¡°Yes, yes, that¡¯s right!¡± Zhang Heling has found a confidant, ¡°It hurts!¡± Sure enough, it has begun to develop. Zhang Yansheng remembered that she was also in the fourth grade, when it started like this. She hooked her fingers on Zhang Heling¡¯s neckline, glanced at it, and asked, ¡°Where is the undergarment? Why are you not wearing a training bra? You have to wear an undergarment well in the future.¡± Zhang Heling asked, ¡°What undergarment?¡± Zhang Yansheng frowned: ¡°Didn¡¯t your mother buy them for you? Girls Training bra to protect your breasts.¡± Zhang Heling was frightened, and compared two steamed buns with her two small hands on her chest: ¡°That¡­ thing?¡± She has seen those fancy bras of her mother. She was scared to death. The child¡¯s horrified look made Zhang Yansheng smile. She remembered that, indeed, at this age, she had also felt ashamed and uneasy that her breasts might grow into two steamed buns like those on a big woman. Fortunately, her mother noticed something wrong with her. After asking, she took her hand and told her that the physical development of girls is a very beautiful thing. Her mother rarely went out at that time, and every time she went out, she only went to the hospital. She asked others to buy girls training bras for Zhang Yansheng, actually bought a lot of them, and personally picked out the most suitable and comfortable ones for her. At that time, she knew that she was running out of time, and for the rest of the days, she took Zhang Yansheng¡¯s hand and told her a lot about the girl¡¯s body. Later, after her mother passed away, Zhang Yansheng always bought her own undergarments, gradually from the simplest girls training bras to brassieres with cups. Her menarche came and she handled it calmly according to what her mother told her. Girls without mothers can only rely on themselves. Two days later, Aunt Luo discovered that she had started using sanitary pads, and only then did she know that she was menstruating. Feeling both sad and happy, Aunt Luo made her a pot of soup to drink. ¡°Sister?¡± Zhang Heling shook her little hand in front of Zhang Yansheng¡¯s face. Zhang Yansheng returned to her senses, let out a sigh, and said, ¡°Tell your mother that you are starting to develop, and ask her to buy you undergarments.¡± Zhang Heling lowered her head and rubbed her chest: ¡°If I tell her, she will just say the same thing, not to bother her.¡± Zhang Yansheng was speechless. Liang Yingying went to K City to be a wild model1 before graduating from technical secondary school. As a young woman, she got closer to her dad, and eventually was raised as a mistress in a concealed manner. To develop her career or take care of her family? Which of these can you count on her? You can¡¯t count on either. Her belief in life is to live well and be rich. The best way is to marry a rich man. In her own opinion, she seems to be a winner in life. Zhang Yansheng was silent for a moment and said, ¡°I¡¯m going to shop this afternoon. Shall we go together?¡± Zhang Heling opened her eyes wide in surprise: ¡°Me?¡± ¡°Yes.¡± Zhang Yansheng said, ¡°To buy clothes or something.¡± Zhang Heling tossed happily: ¡°Go! I¡¯ll go!¡± ¡°What are you doing? Stand up, outrageous.¡± Zhang Yansheng flicked her forehead, ¡°Finish your homework first and we¡¯ll leave after lunch. You also have to check on Zhang Shuocheng¡¯s homework for me.¡± ¡°I will, I¡¯ll check it!¡± The little girl promised. Zhang Yansheng was satisfied. She has to have lunch with Liang Zheng, so it¡¯s not very pleasant. Fortunately, Zhang Yansheng was sitting in the main seat, and Zhang Heling and Zhang Shuocheng were on both sides of her left and right hands, so she avoided sitting next to Liang Zheng. Liang Zheng came to the dining hall and saw this sitting arrangement. After taking a seat, he squinted at Zhang Yansheng and said with a hey, ¡°Why is Yanyan sitting in that position?¡± Zhang Yansheng raised her gaze from her cellphone and asked, ¡°Is there any problem?¡± Liang Zheng gestured with his hand: ¡°Don¡¯t you know? With this kind of long table, that position is the main seat, and should be uncle¡¯s seat.¡± ¡°It¡¯s fine.¡± Zhang Yansheng said, ¡°When my dad is away, it¡¯s time for me to sit here.¡± She stared straight into Liang Zheng¡¯s eyes as she spoke. The gaze was a bit compelling, Liang Zheng smiled dryly, then looked away and asked Zhang Shuocheng, ¡°Where is your mother?¡± Zhang Shuocheng slanted at him: ¡°She hasn¡¯t gotten up yet.¡± Zhang Heling looked at her watch: ¡°It¡¯s time for her to get up.¡± While talking, Liang Yingying arrived with a yawn. After Zhang Huan scolded her, she dared not run around in her nightdress and nightgown at home. At this moment, she was wearing a decent skirt and it was not too revealing ¡ª those who were particularly sexy and revealing were thrown away. ¡°Auntie, why did you just get up now?¡± Liang Zheng asked exaggeratedly. ¡°It¡¯s none of your business.¡± Liang Yingying is not much different from his age and they grew up together as well. She speaks very casually and said ostentatiously, ¡°I get up at this time every day. What¡¯s the matter, jealous?¡± Liang Zheng clicked his tongue: ¡°It¡¯s really the life of a wealthy wife.¡± An aunt brought in Liang Yingying¡¯s ¡®breakfast¡¯ meal. Liang Yingying was in a good mood and asked Liang Zheng, ¡°My car has arrived. I will pick it up in the afternoon. Would you like to go with me?¡± Liang Zheng¡¯s eyes lit up: ¡°You bought a car? What kind of car?¡± Liang Yingying supported her chin with her fist and was very proud: ¡°Ferrari, supercar!¡± Liang Zheng exclaimed ¡°Wow¡± without disappointing her, and the eager light in his eyes satisfied her. Zhang Heling also asked: ¡°Mom, did you buy a car?¡± Zhang Yansheng slowly raised her eyes. Liang Yingying¡¯s relationship with her natal family is not very close. There are not many mothers who are kind and filial to their daughters, and most of them are family members who want to ask her for money. But Liang Yingying is not a bun to be bullied, she just really enjoys the feeling of ¡®returning home in glory¡¯ in front of her natal family. Zhang Huan is generous in terms of money, and Liang Yingying is not short of money. She often leaks some to her natal family, which can greatly improve the life of their family. Her natal family now has two houses, one for her parents and one for her brother and sister-in-law, all of which were bought with the Zhang family¡¯s money. However, a house in a small town is just a few months of pocket money for Zhang Yansheng. No one in the Zhang family cares, but this can make Liang Yingying powerful in the Liang family. It¡¯s just that Liang Yingying bought a car so early that Zhang Yansheng was a little surprised. According to her memory, it should take another two years for Liang Yingying to buy a car. Before that, she liked to let the driver at home drive her around, accompany her on shopping, and carry her bags. She didn¡¯t expect this to be the butterfly effect of the two of them fighting over the driver last time. ¡°Go, go, go! I¡¯ll go!¡± Liang Zheng said eagerly. After lunch, Liang Yingying took Liang Zheng away. After they got in the car at home, Zhang Yansheng took Zhang Heling to call a car. In the previous life and later generations, it was the first time for the sisters to go shopping together. Even Zhang Yansheng had a sense of novelty in her heart. ¡°Sister, where are we going?¡± Zhang Heling couldn¡¯t help but ask excitedly. ¡°Laili Square.¡± ¡°Where is Laili Square?¡± ¡°On Deguang Road.¡± ¡°Where is Deguang Road?¡± ¡°¡­¡± Zhang Yansheng was finally annoyed: ¡°Why are there so many questions?! Can you be quiet?¡± Zhang Heling stuck out her tongue: ¡°I won¡¯t speak anymore.¡± Without talking, she couldn¡¯t help but say: ¡°I have always wanted to go shopping, but no one took me there.¡± Zhang Yansheng was silent for a while and asked, ¡°Your mother never takes you there?¡± Zhang Heling shook her head and said affirmatively, ¡°Never.¡± When her mother was shopping by herself, she would see that the same brand also had children¡¯s clothing, so she just asked the clerk to wrap up the new style that she had just put on. Therefore, although there are many dresses in Zhang Heling¡¯s cloakroom, none of them are bought by her personal choice. Liang Yingying is a person who goes shopping every day. Zhang Yansheng turned her head and looked at the street view outside the window. After a while, she said, ¡°Laili Square is on Deguang Road. There are many children¡¯s brands in that place. There are also some good restaurants. After shopping, you can have afternoon tea¡­ It seems that there is a VR gaming center as well. If you want to have fun, you can¡­¡± Zhang Heling looked at his sister with bright eyes, getting brighter and brighter. It¡¯s nice to have a sister! When they arrived at Laili Square, Zhang Yansheng first took Zhang Heling to the undergarment store. That brand is a brand of girls training bras that she used to buy when she was at this age, and there are also girls¡¯ underwear. The female shop assistant was kind and professional, so that the little girl overcame her shyness, measured the size very cooperatively, and bought comfortable undergarments that fit. Her sister bought her a lot of undergarments in one go, and bought a lot of cute underwear as well. The elder sister took her younger sister to visit several stores in a row. Zhang Yansheng looked at her sister when trying on clothes and asked, ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± Zhang Heling, who has become accustomed to getting along with Zhang Yansheng these days, tried to say, ¡°I also want to buy such clothes, too.¡± Zhang Yansheng glanced at her sunglasses. She tried on a tight black T-shirt and denim hot pants. She raised her eyebrows: ¡°Do you like this style?¡± ¡°I don¡¯t like the skirts my mother bought.¡± Zhang Heling complained, ¡°It¡¯s cumbersome, it¡¯s too much to dress like this.¡± Liang Yingying is keen to dress up her daughter as a glamorous doll, so that she can have a face for occasions such as relatives¡¯ gatherings. This image of Zhang Heling is also a sign of her as a winner in life. But beautiful skirts are also a restraint for girls, at least they are not so happy to run and jump wearing them. Zhang Heling is already a very quiet girl, and she can¡¯t stop her lively nature. In her cloakroom, there are only a few neat clothes. Zhang Yansheng made a crooked ¡°hum¡± sound from her nose: ¡°I remember this brand seems to have¡­¡± Sure enough, this brand has children¡¯s clothing. And in order to make a parent-child matching clothes, there are many reduced versions of the same style for adult wear in children¡¯s clothing. The clerk brought the clothes to Zhang Heling to try on, and couldn¡¯t help but say, ¡°Are you sisters? Just wear it like this and go out, it¡¯s so cute!¡± Zhang Yansheng felt that it was too stupid to wear new clothes directly from the store, so she should refuse. But Zhang Heling raised her face and looked at her with bright black eyes, full of expectation that people could not refuse. Zhang Yansheng: ¡°¡­¡± When the two sisters left the store, they were wearing exactly the same black T-shirts and hot denims. The big girl is beautiful and cold, and the little girl is beautiful and cute. The two people dressed up as cool girls, while carrying a bunch of bags in their hands. It¡¯s clear that they just experienced a ¡®buy, buy, buy¡¯ moment. The little girl beamed with joy, and boldly pulled the big girl¡¯s hand. The big girl, who was a little bit cold, resisted uselessly, and finally couldn¡¯t bear to shake off that warm little hand, so she was held back Passers-by smiled when they saw them. The rate of turning heads their way is super high. ¡°Sister, it turns out that shopping is so fun!¡± Zhang Heling said, ¡°Now, I understand why my mom does shopping all day long!¡± The corners of Zhang Yansheng¡¯s mouth twitched. Of course, she is also happy to buy and buy. In her later years, no one cared about her at all, and Zhang Huan only gave her money to send her away. She seemed to be obsessed with paper and gold, but in reality, she was very empty. The happiness of her life was supported by buying and buying. Fortunately, there is money. Those fox friends and dog friends that surrounded her and clung to her were also after her money. They wanted to pull her into a drug pit; in the end, it was all for her money. Money, it¡¯s such a good thing, it¡¯s very moving. ¡°Let¡¯s go, that¡¯s it for today.¡± Zhang Yansheng took Zhang Heling¡¯s hand to take the escalator, ¡°There is a queen¡¯s cake shop above.¡± ¡°Ah, is it delicious?¡± Zhang Heling began to look forward to it. ¡°You don¡¯t even know the queen¡¯s cake?¡± Zhang Yansheng said, ¡°It can be said that it is the best served in the afternoon tea in K City.¡± The little girl shook her head. ¡°Forget it, you are just a little bun who doesn¡¯t know anything.¡± Zhang Heling was speechless. ¡°Okay, you will get to know more things when you follow me in the future.¡± ¡°Sister, this escalator is so long and tall.¡± ¡°It¡¯s a cross-level escalator. Didn¡¯t you see that it straddled one floor in the middle and went directly to the upper floor?¡± ¡°Oh wow!¡± Zhang Heling shook her head and sighed. This little bun, no one usually takes her out at all. Forget it, she will just take her out for a walk in the future. She thought as the corners of her mouth curled up slightly, and she raised her head slightly. On their side is an ascending escalator and next to it is a descending escalator. Zhang Yansheng raised her head and she could see the person on the other side going down. A young man was talking on the cellphone, and he just raised his eyes when he saw two young girls, one big and one small, standing on the escalator going up. People are naturally attracted to beautiful things when they see them. While listening on the cellphone, the young man cast his gaze on the two oncoming girls. The older girl just raised her head and looked to his side. She has pretty eyebrows and eyes, three-dimensional facial features, and a sense of heroism and coldness in her beauty, which is a bit strangely inconsistent with her age. This kind of violation is another attractive and unique temperament. The young man couldn¡¯t help but glance at her more. Zhang Yansheng raised her head and met the sight of the young man. He was holding the cellphone to his ear and staring at her. With deep eyebrows and a straight nose, he has a young and handsome face. The body is slender, well-dressed, and the temperament is cold and reserved. After looking at each other for a short time and brushing their shoulders, the handsome young man smiled at the beautiful girl. That is the joy that human beings naturally show when they see beautiful things. They staggered past. One going up, one going down. Younger than she remembered, but¡­ the changes in the person¡¯s appearance in his 20s are very small. Zhang Yansheng¡¯s figure seemed to be stagnant. It¡¯s him! Ò°Ä£ ¨C A wild model refers to a model who earns money from the model business, but does not belong to any company or an agent. It can also be called a part-time model or an independent model. There is no basic salary, no benefits, and the income depends on all kinds of work, which can support oneself. CH 26 Enchantress | December 31, 2021 Zhang Yansheng suddenly grabbed the handrail of the elevator to stop the young man, and she opened her mouth without making a sound. What should she call him? She didn¡¯t even know his last name! Looking back at the escalator behind her, the cross-level escalator is high and fast, and it is impossible to go backwards. ¡°I¡¯m sorry! Make a move!¡± Zhang Yansheng shouted, pulling Zhang Heling¡¯s hand and running up. ¡°Sister?¡± Zhang Heling was surprised. Running all the way to the end of the escalator, her sister pulled her around and went directly to the descending elevator: ¡°I¡¯m really sorry!¡± Zhang Heling was surprised inexplicably, so she could only run down. However, rushing back to the level just now, the handsome young man with a cold face and temperament has disappeared. Zhang Yansheng looked around, but all she saw were the faces or backs of customers coming and going. That slender figure could no longer be found. Zhang Heling tugged at her: ¡°Sister? What¡¯s wrong?¡± Zhang Yansheng was unable to express regret, exhaled and said; ¡°It¡¯s okay, I just saw an acquaintance, but wasn¡¯t able to catch up. Let¡¯s go, let¡¯s have an afternoon tea.¡± The queen cake¡¯s cake really deserves its reputation, and it quickly conquered the stomachs of the children. What made Zhang Heling even more happy than the cake was that Zhang Yansheng deliberately took her out, bought her suitable undergarments, and took her for an afternoon tea. This kind of time that existed alone for her did not exist in her life before. In the past, Zhang Shuocheng would buy any new things and would bring them to her. When Zhang Shuocheng ate any new snacks, he would take them for her to eat as well. Since Zhang Heling can remember, no one has created such a warm time for her alone. She took a bite of the cake and glanced at her sister; her eyes couldn¡¯t help but bend. Zhang Yansheng flicked her forehead unhappily: ¡°Why are you being silly?¡± Zhang Heling smiled and got out of the way. Zhang Yansheng held her cheeks, sipped a drink, while thinking of that person. The person she saw on the elevator was the person who took her to the hospital, gently held her hand, and accompanied her through the last period of her time. Zhang Yansheng didn¡¯t expect to meet him today. Just as Zhang Heling has not been valued by her family, she feels happy and cherishes this afternoon tea time as well. Since Zhang Yansheng¡¯s mother passed away, it has been a long time since Zhang Yansheng has felt the unrequited tenderness of others. And then, she died. That gentleness becomes a warmth that you can¡¯t forget even if you die. With Zhang Yansheng¡¯s temperament, naturally, she wanted to reach out and grab it. Right now, Jinding KTV does not exist yet. But Zhang Yansheng remembered the year, month, and day of her death. When that time comes, she planned to go to Jinding KTV to be able to see that person again. He looks older than she is now, and he should be an adult already. It doesn¡¯t matter, by then, she will be 21 and she will be an adult as well. In fact, that is much better than getting acquainted now. What can she do at this awkward age? Let¡¯s¡­ study hard first. They walked around the street the entire afternoon, had a delicious afternoon tea, and went to the VR gaming center to have a good time. When the two sisters returned home holding hands, Zhang Huan just came back not long ago, and Liang Yingying and Liang Zheng were admiring Liang Yingying¡¯s new car. Although the model is different because the car was bought two years earlier than the previous life, the one that remains unchanged is the bright red color. After Liang Yingying bought a car at the beginning, Zhang Yansheng bought one as soon as she got her driver¡¯s license at the right age. The same red color, the same brand, but the model is updated and the price is more expensive, just to anger Liang Yingying. ¡°Wow, mom, is this your car?¡± Zhang Heling asked in surprise. The visual beauty of the smooth lines can also be felt by children. Zhang Shuocheng was drilling around inside. Zhang Huan didn¡¯t see the two of them when he got home. He asked an aunt, who said, ¡°Yanyan took Hehe shopping.¡± Zhang Huan was shocked. The eldest daughter takes the youngest daughter shopping? Although the two of them seem to get along very well these days, but¡­ this is really a huge improvement! At this moment, he saw his two beautiful daughters with his own eyes, wearing exactly the same clothes, each carrying a bunch of shopping bags. The little daughter had a relaxed and happy smile on her face. At first glance, she was very happy¡­ Zhang Huan almost burst into tears. Isn¡¯t this the family and harmony he wants! ¡°Look at what you are wearing.¡± Liang Yingying rolled her eyes and cursed. Although she watched her silly little daughter being taken out by Zhang Yansheng to win her over and wore a silly sister matching clothes with the dead girl Zhang Yansheng, but she was in a really good mood today after all. She bought a 3-million-dollar supercar, so she didn¡¯t reach out to pinch Zhang Heling. She also glanced at Zhang Yansheng triumphantly. Zhang Yansheng received the look and let go of Zhang Heling¡¯s hand. Zhang Heling muttered: ¡°We are in sister matching clothes. Many people looked back along the way. I heard others praise me and my sister for being beautiful.¡± Zhang Heling was ignorant, but Zhang Huan could see it so brightly. The original harmonious and happy atmosphere was destroyed by Liang Yingying. So, he glared at Liang Yingying. It¡¯s a pity that Liang Yingying was talking to Liang Zheng about the car and didn¡¯t see it. Zhang Huan rolled his eyes with anger while holding a cigarette. He turned his head and smiled, and talked to Zhang Yansheng very lovingly: ¡°Did you take Hehe shopping?¡± Zhang Yansheng was not afraid to give Liang Yingying her eye medicine in person: ¡°Hehe doesn¡¯t have undergarments that fit, so I took her to buy some.¡± Zhang Heling took the bag out of her hand and said, ¡°I also bought a lot of new clothes, which I like. I also had afternoon tea and went to the VR gaming center to play games, which was very fun!¡± The little girl¡¯s natural expression of happiness is very contagious. Zhang Huan has always felt that her little daughter is introverted and not very sunny, but now it seems that this is not the case. Look, how cute she is when she laughs. It¡¯s so warm to listen to what she was saying. The old man was moved by this! Then, he turned to look at his little wife ¡ª sitting on the hood, posing in a charming pose, asking her nephew to take pictures for her. Zhang Huan: ¡°¡­¡± The scene suddenly became a mess, it was not delicious all of a sudden, and the warmth and emotion were all out of tune. Zhang Shuocheng heard Zhang Heling¡¯s words and got out of the car: ¡°I want to play VR games too! I want to play too!¡± ¡°We will go back in a few days.¡± This kid has been quite obedient recently, he hasn¡¯t caused any trouble, and he is quite obedient in front of her. Zhang Yansheng saw him quite pleasing to the eye and said, ¡°I will take you with me if I see that you perform well in the next few days.¡± Zhang Heling joined in, boasting: ¡°That cake is very delicious! Really.¡± With food and games, Zhang Shuocheng was tempted and promised: ¡°I will do my homework every day from now on, I promise!¡± ¡°Okay, then you keep it up and I¡¯ll take you out next time.¡± she said. Zhang Shuocheng agreed. Liang Yingying happily took a bunch of photos, and when she looked back, she found that her husband, son, and daughter were all surrounding Zhang Yansheng, as if she was the center, such a happy scene. Liang Yingying didn¡¯t feel right, she didn¡¯t like to see this kind of scene. She doesn¡¯t know what¡¯s going on recently with Zhang Yansheng, as if she was a changed person. She used to know her as someone who would argue with her with a sharp voice and would call out to Zhang Huan to annoy him. Now that she has become less talkative and colder, Zhang Huan seems quite happy. This is not the development that Liang Yingying likes to see. ¡°Hehe, go and see if dinner is ready.¡± She yelled, trying to break the tranquility over there. Zhang Heling gave a cry and was about to go, when an aunt came out and shouted: ¡°Dinner is ready.¡± Liang Yingying took the opportunity to grab Zhang Shuocheng and greeted Zhang Huan with a smile: ¡°My dear, let¡¯s eat.¡± Zhang Yansheng looked at her coldly and felt sad. In her previous life, in this family, she and Liang Yingying were actually fighting over Zhang Huan, an old man. Zhang Huan¡¯s love or affection is really limited, giving Liang Yingying one point more and Zhang Yansheng one point less. Liang Yingying understood it very well, but Zhang Yansheng didn¡¯t. She wanted to catch it purely by instinct, but she pushed Zhang Huan farther and farther away. If this is a fight at home, then she is the loser in the fight. But the house fight1 itself is already very sad and ridiculous. What¡¯s even more sad is after knowing that this is the case, she will still have to continue to fight in this life. Zhang Yansheng couldn¡¯t stand the woman Liang Yingying riding on her head. This is her home. Fortunately, after being reborn, Zhang Yansheng no longer expected anything from Zhang Huan. This is the case with her father. Zhang Huan said to Liang Yingying, ¡°Go, go, go ahead. I¡¯ll talk to Yanyan first.¡± Liang Yingying glanced at Zhang Yansheng unwillingly, gave Zhang Heling a push, and pulled Zhang Shuocheng away. Liang Zheng raised his cellphone again and took a few selfies with the car. He turned his head and called Zhang Huan affectionately: ¡°Uncle, let¡¯s eat.¡± Zhang Huan smiled and said, ¡°You go first.¡± Zhang Yansheng also raised her foot and walked slowly towards the house, almost guessing what Zhang Huan was going to say to her. Sure enough, Zhang Huan walked side by side with her and asked lovingly, ¡°Yanyan, is there anything you want?¡± Her father is this kind of person. Whoever makes him happy and comfortable, he will give him money to spend. For him, giving money is probably equivalent to giving love and care. Zhang Yansheng has seen it thoroughly in this life, and there is no expectation anymore. ¡°I want a car.¡± she said. For Zhang Yansheng, who is used to driving by herself, it is really awkward to have no car. ¡°That¡¯s not okay. How old are you? You don¡¯t have a driver¡¯s license yet, so you can¡¯t drive it even if I buy you one. Don¡¯t worry, when you are 18 years old, Dad will give you a car as a birthday gift!¡± Zhang Huan squeezed his eyes, ¡°It¡¯s guaranteed to be better than this one! More beautiful!¡± He naturally thought that Zhang Yansheng wanted a car because she was jealous that Liang Yingying had a car. ¡°Change it to something else and Dad will buy it for you.¡± He said with a smile. He really enjoys the moment when he spends money on a woman or a daughter. This kind of moment is the most comforting. Zhang Yansheng said indifferently: ¡°Then there is nothing I want and I don¡¯t lack anything.¡± This is true. Zhang Yansheng lacks neither money nor anything. She has money anyway, so she can buy whatever she lacks. Think about it, since the death of his first wife, the child Yanyan is actually not to be worried about. Except for the constant quarrels with Liang Yingying, she has never bothered him about her studies and daily life. Thinking about it again, before Liang Yingying entered this house, this child was so gentle and well-behaved, she was never noisy or naughty, and she was generous and lovable. Speaking of later, in fact, she can¡¯t be blamed. No one will be happy to see her stepmother and illegitimate siblings, right? Thinking about this, the guilt that had existed before, but quickly faded in the new family, reappeared in Zhang Huan¡¯s heart after a long time. House fight/fight at home or residence Õ¬¶· ¨C Zhaidou can be compared to Gongdou, but the scope is narrowed down to the backyard of the house, usually between wives and concubines, between concubines and children, and some are concubines or something. . . CH 27 Enchantress | December 31, 2021 ¡°It¡¯s okay if you don¡¯t want anything to buy yet. And when you want something, just tell Dad.¡± Zhang Huan said. Zhang Yansheng suddenly remembered, she stopped and said, ¡°Hehe¡¯s birthday is coming soon.¡± ¡°Oh? It seems to be true, what day in August is it?¡± Zhang Huan suddenly remembered. ¡°The 2nd.¡± Zhang Yansheng said, ¡°Her wish is to go to the amusement park. She really wants you to accompany her.¡± The little daughter has such expectations of him, which sounds very beautiful. Zhang Huan smiled and said, ¡°Okay, I¡¯ll ask the secretary to arrange the schedule later.¡± He asked again; ¡°Will you go with me?¡± It¡¯s impossible to take Zhang Heling to the playground without Zhang Shuocheng, since both the younger son and the younger daughter will go¡­ Zhang Heling in front of them suddenly let out a cry of pain. Both of them stopped, looked forward, and saw Zhang Heling rubbing her arms as she walked. Liang Yingying walked next to her. Needless to say, it must be Liang Yingying who pinched Zhang Heling again for some reason. Both Zhang Huan and Zhang Yansheng frowned. Zhang Yansheng snorted coldly and said, ¡°I won¡¯t show up with your little wife at the same time.¡± She gave her father a blank look, turned around, and walked forward. Zhang Huan understood this skillfully. He smiled and said, ¡°Then, let¡¯s take only Hehe and Shuoshuo! Anyway, their mother couldn¡¯t get up in the morning at all.¡± Zhang Yansheng said, ¡°You can make the arrangement.¡± Anyway, there is Liang Yingying without her, and there is her without Liang Yingying. Zhang Huan agreed with a smile. However, just now he wanted to buy something for Zhang Yansheng, but he couldn¡¯t spend his money. It was as if he hadn¡¯t given his love. He asked again, ¡°Is your pocket money enough?¡± After Zhang Yansheng became an adult, Zhang Huan gave her all the money her mother left her, but she still often asked Zhang Huan for money. Even if the relationship between father and daughter was already like that at that time, Zhang Huan was still happy to give her money. After giving her the money, he would feel relief. But no matter what, who would think that there is too much money? Zhang Yansheng said, ¡°Just give it to me.¡± Zhang Huan was happy. He touched his cellphone and wanted to transfer 100,000 yuan to Zhang Yansheng, but when he thought about it, he just bought a sports car for Liang Yingying with 3 million yuan. He pressed the backspace key to delete the number of 100,000, re-entered 200,000, and transferred it. After the transfer, he also told Zhang Yansheng with a sorrowful look: ¡°Don¡¯t spend too much. Your mother said that you can¡¯t get used to spending money indiscriminately.¡± Zhang Yansheng glanced at the deposit amount. In fact, Zhang Huan was much more generous to her than Liang Yingying in terms of money. Later, her demand for money grew more and more, and he still satisfied her. Zhang Yansheng had never thought about this issue in her previous life, but now she thinks that if money represents love, Zhang Huan still seems to love his daughter more than his little wife. It¡¯s just that this love is standardized and measured by money, which makes people unable to love it. She said casually, ¡°Thank you.¡± With that said, she went into the house. Zhang Huan sighed for a long while, feeling that her daughter still had not kissed him like when she was young. When she was a child, he would give her something to buy or give her extra pocket money, and she would kiss him with a smile and crisply say ¡°thank you Dad¡±. It¡¯s been a long time, so he misses it. After thinking about it again, Yanyan is a big girl now, and she really can¡¯t be as close to her father as she was when she was a child, so he was relieved again. This man can always find reasons, excuses, or ways for himself to relieve his inner guilt. During the meal, Zhang Yansheng listened to Liang Zheng¡¯s constant flattering of Zhang Huan and Liang Yingying at the dinner table. It seems that following the Ferrari shop to pick up the car today shocked him. ¡°Actually, it¡¯s nothing.¡± Liang Yingying smiled happily, put her hand on Zhang Huan¡¯s arm affectionately, and pretended to tell her nephew casually, ¡°It¡¯s just equivalent to the amount of money your uncle will spend on two to three watches.¡± Liang Zheng almost dropped his chopsticks, opened his mouth wide, and stared at the watch on Zhang Huan¡¯s wrist: ¡°Uncle, uncle, your watch¡­ is it so expensive?¡± Liang Yingying has always enjoyed this kind of highlight moment in front of her girlfriends or her family. She opened her mouth and wanted to say the price. Zhang Huan waved her hand impatiently: ¡°Eat, just eat.¡± In Zhang Huan¡¯s view, Liang Yingying¡¯s naked show of wealth is really not a good moral character. This is Liang Yingying¡¯s favorite hobby. Fortunately, Liang Yingying was quite familiar with Zhang Huan¡¯s emotions, and when she noticed that he didn¡¯t like it, she quickly closed her mouth. Zhang Yansheng¡¯s mouth curled slightly. Is it going to happen so early in this life? Liang Zheng lived in this house for nearly half a year in her previous life, and the reason why he left was because Zhang Huan lost a watch. Since the price exceeded one million, Zhang Huan had called the police. He thought that it was an aunt who took it. Before the police came, Liang Yingying yelled at the aunts, saying that they should take it out as soon as possible, or else they would be sent to jail. Who knew that when the police came and asked everyone, Liang Zheng was locked up? Using interrogation techniques and asking three questions and two questions, Liang Zheng showed his true colors. It turned out that he was the one who stole the watch. This kind of thing between relatives who live in the same house often depends on the attitude of the owner. Liang Yingying was dumbfounded, pulling Zhang Shuocheng and crying for Zhang Huan to let Liang Zheng go. If her nephew goes to jail here, she will be ashamed when she returns home. Zhang Huan pinched his nose and withdrew the case. But Liang Zheng was also driven away by Liang Yingying, and returned to his hometown in a desperate manner. Now, Liang Yingying bought a car so early, and showed off her wealth in front of Liang Zheng so early, letting him know that Zhang Huan¡¯s watch was worth so much money. What will happen next? Zhang Yansheng twitched the corner of her mouth. She sandwiched a chopstick of vegetables for Zhang Heling. Zhang Heling: ¡°¡­¡± Zhang Heling looked at her sister sternly. Zhang Yansheng raised her eyebrows, so Zhang Heling ate the vegetables with a bitter face. This scene was seen by Zhang Huan, it is really sister-friendly and warm every day. Zhang Huan laughed loudly and nodded to Zhang Heling with his chopsticks: ¡°Eat more vegetables, you¡¯ll be healthier if you eat vegetables.¡± As he said that, he also sandwiched a chopstick of vegetables for Zhang Heling, and also a gave some to Zhang Shuocheng: ¡°It¡¯s delicious, don¡¯t be picky eaters.¡± Like a loving old father. After the meal, Zhang Yansheng deliberately did not go upstairs, and followed to the small hall. Seeing that she hadn¡¯t gone upstairs, Zhang Heling followed her to the small hall like a worm. Zhang Huan¡¯s paternal love hasn¡¯t finished yet, and it happens that there is a ¡®guest¡¯ like Liang Zheng at home, which is also a good time for him to show his paternal love. He took Zhang Shuocheng to the small hall and asked him kindly if he had studied hard recently ¡ª although he knew that under the supervision of the eldest daughter and second daughter these days, the younger son was too restrained not to study. Zhang Shuocheng put his hands on his waist: ¡°I will start doing my homework every day.¡± Zhang Heling immediately said, ¡°You are lying! You have to play first when you get up, and you won¡¯t start writing until I go upstairs to urge you!¡± Zhang Shuocheng said triumphantly: ¡°Then, I will finish writing before noon!¡± Zhang Heling cut and said, ¡°If you dare not finish writing, my eldest sister will definitely beat you up. So, of course you have to finish writing.¡± Zhang Shuocheng raised his eyebrows: ¡°L¨¹¨¨ l¨¹¨¨ l¨¹¨¨!¡± Zhang Yansheng had never gotten along peacefully with this pair of siblings in her previous life. She turned a blind eye to Zhang Heling, and Zhang Shuocheng appeared to be in disarray all the time. Afterwards, she loathed them even more, so she decided not to see them anymore. Zhang Yansheng looked at him coldly and felt that it will be difficult for Zhang Shuocheng, who was still young in front of her, to become the same Zhang Shuocheng in her past life. Not only because of the large difference in appearance, but also because of the different personalities. Later, Zhang Shuocheng grew up taller than her. He did something horrible like that. Although Zhang Huan spent a lot of money to settle it, he still used his belt to draw blood on his face when he came back. But even that action is useless. At that time, Zhang Shuocheng was 13 and he had been brought up like that, so it was difficult to turn him around. Even if Zhang Huan slapped him with a belt and cut off his financial sources, it would be useless. He would still be like that. What¡¯s more, Liang Yingying couldn¡¯t help but secretly give him money. Later on, Zhang Shuocheng was completely ruined. At that time, Zhang Huan had much more white sideburns and hair than he does now. There were three children in the family, two of whom were unsuccessful and one was worthless, which made Zhang Huan feel very frustrated. He was already more than half a hundred years old at that time, and his physical energy was not as good as it is now. The focus of his life finally shifted from himself to his children, so he was deeply disappointed. It¡¯s just that there is no regret medicine in life. In the past, he was unwilling to take care of his children. Then later, when he realized that he had to discipline Zhang Shuocheng personally, his energy was no longer able to keep up, and Zhang Shuocheng was already stereotyped. It was too difficult to correct it, which made people¡¯s energy withered. But Zhang Shuocheng is different now. Zhang Yansheng originally thought it would be difficult. When she faced him, she took the attitude of treating Zhang Shuocheng as a rapist and someone to commit crimes and violates the law. At that time, she even felt that if this kid would grow into what he later became, it would be better to kill him one hundred times, so as not to harm other girls in the future. But after she really started to discipline him, she found that it couldn¡¯t be easier ¡ª he obediently obeyed just only after two beatings. In fact, he is only seven years old now and he is still an elementary school student. He will only be in the second grade when the school starts in September. There is still time. It also proves the facts to Zhang Yansheng, who was reborn, that some things can be changed. ¡°Sister! Sister!¡± Zhang Heling suddenly came over and grabbed Zhang Yansheng¡¯s hand and shook it. Zhang Yansheng came back to her senses: ¡°Huh?¡± ¡°Dad said that when my birthday comes, he¡¯ll take us to the amusement park!¡± Zhang Heling¡¯s face flushed with excitement. Not only because she could go to the amusement park, but also because Zhang Huan, who had always ignored her, suddenly valued her, which flattered her. ¡°Oh. Okay.¡± Zhang Yansheng didn¡¯t ask the children to take credit, but touched her head and said, ¡°Have fun then.¡± ¡°Sister, you should come too. Let¡¯s go together, okay?¡± Zhang Heling looked forward to it very much. Zhang Yansheng did not agree to her, but only said, ¡°Let¡¯s talk about it later.¡± The child still couldn¡¯t tell the meaning of ¡®talk about it later¡¯, and only felt that Zhang Yansheng was about¡­ it was equivalent to agreeing to her. Just as she was excited, Liang Yingying came to pour cold water. ¡°Why do you have to go to an amusement park on such a hot day.¡± She said disapprovingly, ¡°Let the aunts just buy you a cake and then you can blow out a candle.¡± In the past, Zhang Heling¡¯s birthday was celebrated like this. There is no need to cook more dishes for dinner, because the usual dinner table is very sumptuous. It¡¯s just that there will be more cakes than usual. Blow a candle and make a wish, but there will also be gifts. Liang Yingying didn¡¯t remind him and Zhang Huan couldn¡¯t remember Zhang Heling¡¯s birthday either. It was only when he saw the candles on the cake during dinner that he would remember it. With a smile, he will just ask Zhang Heling, ¡°What do you want?¡± Zhang Heling usually mentions something she wants but Liang Yingying deliberately refuses to satisfy her. Zhang Huan would tell the secretary and the secretary would buy it, then Zhang Huan would bring it back to Zhang Heling. Zhang Heling was very satisfied when she got what she had always wanted. This child never thought of saying ¡®hello¡¯ to her father in advance, telling him that her birthday was coming, and telling him what she wanted. Liang Yingying¡¯s attitude of disgust and harsh treatment of Zhang Heling made Zhang Yansheng feel unreasonable. Especially when she watched Zhang Heling¡¯s small face, which was still excited just now, and her smile disappeared. The bright eyes just dimmed. Zhang Yansheng was so angry from her heart! CH 28 Enchantress | January 1, 2022 But Zhang Yansheng is no longer the silly girl who used to only yell at Liang Yingying. When hitting a snake, one must strike seven inches below its head. Zhang Huan is Liang Yingying¡¯s seven inches. Zhang Yansheng gently touched Zhang Heling¡¯s head and raised her eyes. Instead of looking at Liang Yingying, she glanced at Zhang Huan coldly. Zhang Huan received this glance. He saw the excited and happy little daughter with a dim face, and she tilted softly and tilted on the eldest daughter. The eldest daughter stroked her hair tenderly, but looked at himself without saying a word. He originally just thought that Liang Yingying¡¯s words were a disappointment, but he was given a cold look by his eldest daughter, which seemed to be sarcasm and contempt, which made people feel¡­ weird and awkward. Zhang Huan¡¯s many small grievances against Liang Yingying accumulated during the day suddenly gathered together and broke out. He said angrily: ¡°What¡¯s wrong with that, so my words don¡¯t work anymore? Do I need you to arrange it for me?¡± Liang Yingying was inexplicable, not knowing what Zhang Huan was suddenly annoyed about. She was just reprimanded in front of three children and a natal relative in this way, and her face was a little bit uncomfortable, so she tried to defend herself: ¡°No, I just said the child¡­¡± ¡°Do you even know that she is a child? She wants to go to the amusement park, but you won¡¯t take her there? How can you be a mother?!¡± Zhang Huan scolded her. He completely didn¡¯t think about how he became a father as well. Liang Yingying felt wronged. She hasn¡¯t seen Zhang Huan care more about Zhang Heling, a money-losing commodity, before. Why did he suddenly become like a peerless father now? What kind of madness is this? She still wanted to open her mouth to speak, but Zhang Huan was already impatient: ¡°Okay, okay, stop talking, and care more about your children in the future.¡± Liang Zheng saw that the situation was not right, gave a ¡®cough¡¯, and came out to mediate: ¡°Well, Uncle, how do we go to the company tomorrow?¡± Zhang Huan thought for a while and said, ¡°Tomorrow, on your first day, come with me.¡± The dialogue between Zhang Huan and Liang Yingying did not clearly say whether they will still go to the amusement park or not. At least for children like Zhang Heling, it is tantamount to not making it clear. Zhang Heling was disappointed and felt wronged. Zhang Yansheng put her arms around her small slender body and patted her shoulder lightly. Hearing Zhang Huan¡¯s answer to Liang Zheng, she gave Zhang Huan a surprised look. In the previous life, Liang Zheng did not provoke Zhang Huan¡¯s disgust on the first day of his arrival, and Zhang Huan¡¯s attitude towards him was quite tolerant. After all, he is also a relative of the younger generation. Liang Zheng naturally went to the company in Zhang Huan¡¯s car on the first day of his entry. After all, the first day is also reasonable. It¡¯s just that Liang Zheng didn¡¯t notice anything at all, and he actually sat for a whole week. Zhang Huan started to be bothered by him then. Zhang Huan has money and doesn¡¯t mind taking care of one or two poor relatives. The house is big and there are many rooms, so he doesn¡¯t mind if relatives and children also live at home temporarily. There is a company as well, so he doesn¡¯t mind arranging a position for relatives and children, even if it is a part-time job or will work for nothing. The space in the car is so big and it¡¯s a one-hour journey from home to the company. Liang Zheng was so blind and he thinks of himself as the young master of the Zhang family, so Zhang Huan felt vexed as he rode his car every day. After all, anyone would feel uncomfortable if their private space was violated. In the second week, Liang Zheng stopped taking Zhang Huan¡¯s car ¡ª there are several cars in the family anyway. Zhang Yansheng didn¡¯t know if Zhang Huan had instructed him or if Zhang Huan complained to Liang Yingying. Anyway, Liang Yingying gave Liang Zheng the cheapest BMW to drive. Liang Zheng drove a BMW, like a rich and handsome man, very cool. Later, he really pursued a white rich and beautiful woman while portraying to be a rich and handsome man. He also stole Zhang Huan¡¯s watch to fulfill this lie. At that time, he had lived in Zhang¡¯s house for almost half a year, and during this period, he wanted Zhang Huan to give him a promotion several times. Zhang Huan was really annoyed by him for a long time. So, just when the incident happened, he simply drove him away. Liang Yingying was embarrassed by this natal relative, very undignified. In this life, is this really going to happen this early? Liang Yingying bought a car in advance, and she showed off her wealth with Liang Zheng in advance to let him know how much Zhang Huan¡¯s watch was worth. Zhang Huan actually got tired of Liang Zheng in advance, so he made a decision at the beginning, and clearly said ¡®the first day¡¯ before letting Liang Zheng take a ride with him. She doesn¡¯t know if Liang Zheng understood it or not. Anyway, Zhang Yansheng understood it. She was quite surprised by the advance of these scenes. Before Liang Zheng answered, Zhang Shuocheng already caused trouble: ¡°I¡¯m going to the amusement park, I¡¯m going to the amusement park!¡± ¡°Go, go, go, little ancestor!¡± Liang Yingying hugged him, ¡°I¡¯ll take you there, I¡¯ll take you there!¡± Liang Yingying already gave the permission, but Zhang Heling did not become happy. Every time Zhang Shuocheng celebrates his birthday, he can get whatever he wants. Zhang Heling used to go to the amusement park under the influence of Zhang Shuocheng¡¯s light. She hoped that once, even just once, the whole family would go there for her. Her heart was sour and her eyes were red. Suddenly, a hand brushed her eyes and with the back of the finger, brushing away the tears she couldn¡¯t shed. Zhang Heling raised her head and looked at her sister. Zhang Yansheng was also looking at her with a frown. Zhang Heling¡¯s indescribable grievances suddenly found a place to go. She was leaning on Zhang Yansheng crookedly, then she simply opened her hand, plunged into Zhang Yansheng¡¯s arms and hugged her waist. Zhang Yansheng was a little irritable. What happened to this girl, just today, she broke through her line of defense again and again, and had close contact with her. But this little one was aggrieved and pitiful. To push her away¡­ she can¡¯t bear it at all! This is a child whose mother is about equal to having no mother. Compared to her, who doesn¡¯t have a mother, it doesn¡¯t seem to be much of a difference. Zhang Yansheng stiffened, stretched out an arm around Zhang Heling¡¯s shoulder, and half-wrapped her in her arms. Over there, Liang Yingying calmed Zhang Shuocheng down, and Liang Zheng continued to ask Zhang Huan: ¡°Uncle, if I work for your company, what¡¯s going to be my position?¡± Zhang Yansheng was not interested in their conversation, so she took Zhang Heling away. Listening to Zhang Huan behind her, he pondered and said, ¡°Young people like you, start as an intern¡­¡± Walking up the stairs, Zhang Yansheng said to Zhang Heling: ¡°Why are you still crying? Didn¡¯t your mother tell you that you¡¯ll go?¡± Zhang Heling said listlessly: ¡°My mother will go there to take Shuoshuo and not to celebrate my birthday.¡± Zhang Yan understood, she walked up two steps, ¡°hmm¡± and said, ¡°So what? You¡¯re going there anyway.¡± She stopped and turned around: ¡°I will teach you how to properly behave ¡ª countless times! You must not make yourself unhappy because of others! Do you understand? Especially when that person is your mother. If you make yourself unhappy because of her, you will be stupid. In this house, when did your mother make people other than my dad and Zhang Shuocheng happy?¡± After speaking, she continued to walk up. She is tall and has long legs and walks fast. Zhang Heling was short and thin, chasing her behind. ¡°Sister!¡± She asked, ¡°Do you hate my mother so much?¡± Zhang Yansheng did not conceal it: ¡°Do you still need to ask me that?¡± In the past few years, Zhang Yansheng and Liang Yingying had no idea how many times they had quarreled in this house. They really don¡¯t need to talk about their hatred for each other. ¡°Then, sister¡­¡± Zhang Heling continued to ask, ¡°Do you hate me?¡± Zhang Yansheng stopped and turned her head. Zhang Heling looked up at her with a small face, about the size of a palm, her eyes were black and bright, but her eyes were still a little red in the circles, and she looked at her blankly. She seems to be a little nervous. Zhang Yansheng gritted her teeth: ¡°I hate you!¡± She stretched out her hand and poked Zhang Heling¡¯s forehead: ¡°I hate you! I hate you! The most annoying thing is you! You stick to me all day long.¡± Say it, poke it, say it, poke it. She took her hand and walked upstairs bitterly. Zhang Heling clutched her poked forehead and grinned happily, chasing her: ¡°You don¡¯t hate me!¡± She was very happy. The child¡¯s emotions change so quickly. Who felt so wronged and cried just now? Tsk. Zhang Yansheng is especially despised by Zhang Heling: ¡°You know that you¡¯re a crybaby and weak. Your mother makes you unhappy and you have the ability to quarrel with her. Is it useful to shed tears when you are wronged?¡± Zhang Heling was even more aggrieved: ¡°I don¡¯t dare because she would pinch me, it hurts very much.¡± As she said that, she stretched out her arm to show it to Zhang Yansheng. Sure enough, there was a bruise on that arm. It was not there when they bought clothes that afternoon. Zhang Yansheng remembered that before eating, Zhang Heling was walking in front of them, had suddenly let out a cry of pain. ¡°Why did she pinch you again?¡± She pulled her face down. ¡°She said I was dressed badly.¡± Zhang Heling was unconvinced, ¡°How is this not pretty? The aunts in the store today said that we look good in these clothes!¡± Zhang Yansheng felt clear. Liang Yingying didn¡¯t think that the clothes don¡¯t look good, she was just not happy to see Zhang Yansheng getting close to her. Sister matching outfits, isn¡¯t it piercing to Liang Yingying¡¯s eyes?! Zhang Yansheng hooked the corners of her mouth, but her mood improved. She took out her cellphone, took a picture of the bruise on Zhang Heling¡¯s arm, and sent it directly to Zhang Huan: ¡°I feel sorry for your little daughter, she¡¯s her own child.¡± She actually understands a little bit now. In Zhang Huan¡¯s heart, first of all, he himself is the most important, then his son, then his daughters, and then his wife. The married one must be placed behind the biological one. After all, if a couple divorces, they will just be two strangers, and the biological one will stay the same for a lifetime. This small account in the man¡¯s heart is clear. She put away the cellphone and pulled Zhang Heling¡¯s head: ¡°Okay, ignore her from now on. She just likes to see you unhappy.¡± She regretted the last sentence. Thinking carefully about these words, it could be hurtful to people¡¯s hearts. Fortunately, Zhang Heling was still young and she couldn¡¯t taste the heart-wrenching meaning in her words. She watched Zhang Yansheng go back to her room and stopped her: ¡°Sister!¡± Then she stretched out her arms to Zhang Yansheng, her black eyes full of expectation. Zhang Yansheng: ¡°¡­¡± Zhang Yansheng has a very bad premonition! ¡°What are you doing?¡± she asked warily. ¡°Give me a hug.¡± Zhang Heling asked expectantly, ¡°Is it okay?¡± Didn¡¯t I hug you downstairs just now! Zhang Yansheng looked up at the ceiling speechlessly, lowered her head, and squeezed out a voice from between her teeth: ¡°Zhang Heling, don¡¯t go too far!¡± Before the voice fell, Zhang Heling had already rushed into her arms and hugged her. ¡°Just give me a hug!¡± This girl was lawless and she started to be coquettish! Zhang Yansheng was as stiff as she was downstairs just now. She held her hands open, not knowing where to place them. The slender little girl in her arms said quietly: ¡°My mother never hugged me¡­¡± Zhang Yansheng paused, as if she had been punched in the heart. The punch was soft and weak, but it made her heart sore and uncomfortable. Liang Yingying¡­ indeed, she only hugged Zhang Shuocheng, at least in Zhang Yansheng¡¯s memory. In fact, since the death of her mother, Zhang Yansheng has¡­ not hugged anyone like this for a long time. She cautiously tried to slowly lower her arm, but she heard Zhang Heling say¡­¡­ ¡°My classmates are very envious that I have a sister. They all think it must be very nice to have a sister.¡± She said, ¡°I dare not tell them that my sister is super-fierce!¡± Zhang Yansheng: ¡°¡­¡± Wrong impression! Is it okay to let this little brat fly with PIA1 now? ¡°I dare not tell them that my sister doesn¡¯t talk to me and doesn¡¯t care about me. I told them that my sister treats me very well¡­¡± The child in her arms babbled, ¡°I really didn¡¯t expect that it will become real one day. I¡¯m so happy!¡± Zhang Yansheng was silent for a long time. She finally lowered her arms and hugged Zhang Heling with both of her hands. That¡¯s fine, although it¡¯s stupid, it makes do with it, so she won¡¯t fly with PIA anymore. The two girls who had no mother or were not valued by their mothers hugged each other for a short while. What they get is the softness and warmth in their hearts. When Zhang Heling stepped into her room, she heard Zhang Yansheng¡¯s voice calling her again: ¡°Hehe!¡± The little girl took a half step back and leaned out: ¡°?¡± Her sister propped her elbows against the wall, which was a bit ruffian and a bit handsome. She said, ¡°Tomorrow, wear that one with a golden pattern on white background.¡± They bought more than one sister matching clothes today, and Zhang Heling knew which one she was talking about. The child grinned, stretched out her hand, and gestured an OK sign. The elder sister also hooked the corners of her mouth and smiled. Her sister smiled. She is so beautiful! Ðܺ¢×ÓPIA·É¿ÉÒÔÂð ¨C Pakistan International Airlines CH 29 Enchantress | January 1, 2022 On Monday morning, Zhang Huan was having breakfast in the dining hall when he heard footsteps, so he turned his head to take a look. The two flower-like daughters, who were dressed exactly the same, are walking into the dining hall one after another. It is refreshing and beautiful, not to mention super eye-catching. This Monday morning is really good. ¡°You got up so early, don¡¯t you want to sleep more?¡± Zhang Huan asked with a smile. ¡°You have to have a regular work and rest schedule for the day, and can¡¯t stay up late or get up late because of the holiday.¡± Zhang Yansheng said. In her previous life, she sang songs and drank herself to death, got intoxicated with money, and lived her life upside down day and night. At a young age, no matter how expensive eye creams and essences she used, it will not eliminate the cyan under her eyes, let alone the emptiness in her heart. She sat down and slapped Zhang Heling¡¯s back: ¡°Keep your chest up, don¡¯t hunch your back.¡± Zhang Heling wore a new training bra, which was a bit uncomfortable, so she subconsciously held her breasts. After being patted by her sister, she sat up properly. Zhang Huan likes to watch the friendly scene of these two sisters, taking care of each other. He kindly asked Zhang Heling: ¡°Is your arm okay now? Show me.¡± Zhang Heling didn¡¯t realize he was talking to her. Zhang Yansheng pulled up her arm and showed it to Zhang Huan. On the thin white arm, there was a purple-red mark, which was twisted at first glance. Zhang Huan looked distressed and said annoyingly: ¡°I scolded your mother severely last night. If she dares to pinch you again, come and tell Dad. I¡¯ll return it to her!¡± Zhang Heling only said: ¡°Oh¡±. While they¡¯re talking, Liang Zheng came and said good morning to everyone with great energy. He was dressed in a suit and leather shoes, and he was also wearing a tie. He was dressed more formally than the boss himself, Zhang Huan was only wearing a polo shirt. Zhang Heling replied ¡°Good morning¡±, and Zhang Yansheng just nodded. Liang Zheng groaned about Zhang Yansheng¡¯s coldness, but today is a great day for him to enter the company, so he just ignored it. He ate breakfast quickly and asked Zhang Huan, ¡°Uncle, what time are we going to leave?¡± Zhang Huan said: ¡°I usually wait a little later. I will send you off today. We can leave early.¡± The corners of Zhang Yansheng¡¯s mouth twitched obliquely, and he said to Zhang Heling, ¡°Go and bring Zhang Shuocheng down here.¡± ¡°Okay! He woke up early and must be playing in the room.¡± Zhang Heling said, got up and went upstairs. Her little legs ran fast. Zhang Huan shouted: ¡°Don¡¯t run just after eating.¡± By the time Zhang Heling grabbed Zhang Shuocheng by the neck and pulled him down, Zhang Huan had already taken Liang Zheng away. Zhang Shuocheng muttered, sitting on a chair with his calves dangling, the little boss was not happy. ¡°Your sister will have piano lessons later, so you have to do your homework by yourself. I won¡¯t go to the third floor to watch you, as I don¡¯t have that free time.¡± Zhang Yansheng said, ¡°But I will ask your sister to check it out at noon. On Wednesday, your sister and I are going to have afternoon tea and play VR. If you want to go with us, then you must be well-behaved. Even if you don¡¯t want to go and if you don¡¯t do your homework well, then you won¡¯t have a good end.¡± ¡°She¡¯ll use the ferule to whip you!¡± Zhang Heling also took the opportunity to scare him. Zhang Shuocheng¡¯s neck shrank by the words of his two sisters. The aunts, who brought them breakfast, heard them, covering their mouths and laughing, and said in the kitchen: ¡°Someone can control him now.¡± Zhang Yansheng said to Zhang Heling: ¡°Teacher Yang is very patient. If you have any questions, just ask her.¡± When Zhang Yansheng threw Teacher Yang¡¯s contact information to Zhang Huan, he was thrown aside, so he had to contact Teacher Yang in person. When Teacher Yang heard that he was Zhang Yansheng¡¯s parent, she happily agreed. She felt a pity that Zhang Yansheng refused to continue learning. She kept saying that ¡°Yansheng is a very hardworking and self-disciplined child.¡± Parents love to hear teachers praise their children, and Zhang Huan keeps nodding and saying yes. When Teacher Yang asked about Zhang Heling, how to arrange her time and not to collide with her other classes, Zhang Huan was speechless. He didn¡¯t know that Zhang Heling had other classes as well. He prevaricated for a few words, and then threw the matter to the secretary. The secretary contacted Liang Yingying, but Liang Yingying couldn¡¯t tell, she was only responsible for paying. In the end, the call was transferred to Zhang Heling herself. The child understood her class very clearly and told her schedule to the secretary. Of course, the secretary would not tell Zhang Huan that his wife is also an irresponsible fool, and would only praise ¡°Hehe, this child is so sensible.¡± Zhang Huan was so proud of it again. Zhang Yansheng now closes her door to study every morning. As soon as the door is closed, the messy things at home are isolated, her heart calms down, and she is in a good state. She is now able to regard herself as a middle school student in a down-to-earth manner. In the middle, she went downstairs, went to see Zhang Heling, who was taking piano lessons, and said hello to Teacher Yang. Teacher Yang said that she wanted to see the parents, either father or mother, to communicate. Liang Yingying hadn¡¯t gotten up before this meeting, Zhang Yansheng said, ¡°Tell me about it, and I¡¯ll pass it on.¡± Teacher Yang knew her well, so she told her: ¡°There are a lot of fingering errors, and she has to correct them slowly.¡± Zhang Yansheng knew that this was the former teacher¡¯s fault and said, ¡°It¡¯s okay, don¡¯t worry, just correct it slowly.¡± She paused, knowing that Zhang Huan and Liang Yingying could not be relied on regarding these little things, so she told her teacher after all: ¡°In the future, you can tell me anything about her learning.¡± Teacher Yang was hired by Zhang Yansheng¡¯s mother before and taught Zhang Yansheng for many years. She knew that their family situation was a bit complicated. Moreover, she had also figured out Zhang Huan based on their phone call before. Zhang Huan was not the kind of parent who would care about his children carefully anyway. As for Zhang Heling¡¯s mother¡­ Teacher Yang has hardly met her much. Hearing Zhang Yansheng said this, she nodded: ¡°Okay.¡± When Zhang Yansheng left, she touched Zhang Heling¡¯s head: ¡°Your sister cares about you.¡± Zhang Heling smiled happily. Zhang Yansheng studied until noon, Zhang Heling¡¯s piano lesson was over, so she ran up to check Zhang Shuocheng¡¯s homework. Zhang Yansheng called Zhang Huan¡¯s secretary: ¡°On my sister¡¯s birthday, which is on August 2nd, my dad promised her to go to the amusement park. Please put this appointment for my father in his schedule, so that he doesn¡¯t forget it.¡± The secretary agreed. After hanging up the phone, he asked Zhang Huan for advice, Zhang Huan groaned: ¡°I almost forgot, hurry up, put it in the schedule for me. I promised my daughter.¡± The secretary smiled and said some flattering words: ¡°Miss Yanyan has grown up a lot and feels that she can take care of her younger sister.¡± Zhang Huan was in a good mood when he heard it. Liang Zheng had complained to Liang Yingying before because Zhang Huan asked him to start as an intern, feeling that it was really unnecessary since they were family. But he came back by himself in the evening and was in a good mood. ¡°Everyone was polite to me when they heard that I was my uncle¡¯s nephew.¡± He said a little triumphantly. In the previous life, Zhang Yansheng ignored him because he was from the Liang family. She really doesn¡¯t know that this guy told the world about his relatives on the first day he joined the company. The corners of her mouth twitched when she heard it. Even though she has no experience in managing a company, she knows that Zhang Huan must not like this. It¡¯s a pity that Zhang Huan went out to socialize and didn¡¯t have dinner at home. But it doesn¡¯t matter, if he wants to know, he will know it sooner or later. ¡°If you are smart, you can¡¯t let people bully you.¡± Liang Yingying said. The corners of Zhang Yansheng¡¯s mouth just twitched, and the corners of her eyes started twitching this time. From this general statement by an incapable parent, it is possible to understand why Zhang Shuocheng committed a crime later on. ¡°That¡¯s not going to happen!¡± Liang Zheng said, ¡°In our own company, can I still be bullied? How stupid can I be?¡± ¡°Anyway, if you do well, this will give me a great honor.¡± Liang Yingying is still more satisfied. No matter what her relationship with her natal family is, when facing the Zhang family, she cannot just hug her natal family, but also protect her shortcomings. For fear that the Zhang family, especially Zhang Yansheng, look down on the Liang family. During the six months that Liang Zheng lived in the Zhang family in her previous life, she had several conflicts with Zhang Yansheng for Liang Zheng. Liang Zheng said: ¡°Auntie, you should talk to uncle again. We are family, so why put me as an intern? I am not very demanding. After all, I just graduated and I don¡¯t want to be a director, but at least I should be a manager.¡± Zhang Yansheng couldn¡¯t bear to listen anymore. She put down her chopsticks and said to Zhang Heling, ¡°I¡¯m full, you eat well.¡± Then, she got up and left. Liang Zheng looked at her back as she left. Without Zhang Yansheng, he didn¡¯t have any scruples when he spoke, and simply complained: ¡°This eldest sister doesn¡¯t like seeing me very much.¡± Liang Yingying let out a sigh and said, ¡°Who does she want to see anyway? She doesn¡¯t even want to see her own father!¡± She wanted to talk about the fact that Zhang Yansheng strangled her neck, pressed her on the sofa before, in which she almost died; but she was used to being so tall in front of her family, so she couldn¡¯t destroy her image. She held back and said nothing. Zhang Heling glanced at the two of them and wanted to say, ¡°My sister is looking forward to seeing me.¡± Looking at the expression of her own mother gritting her teeth, she lowered her head and endured it without saying anything. But when Liang Yingying saw her, she suddenly became angry: ¡°There is also this fool! Look at what you are wearing? I bought so many beautiful skirts for you. If you don¡¯t wear them, then why do you have to dress like her too?! Are you trying to make me mad at you?!¡± As she said that, she habitually stretched out her hand to Zhang Heling. Zhang Heling became agitated and suddenly said loudly: ¡°If you pinch me again, I will complain to my dad!¡± Liang Yingying froze. It was also inexplicable last night. Zhang Huan suddenly got angry with her about the little incident of her pinching Zhang Heling¡¯s arm. It¡¯s not that he hadn¡¯t seen her pinch Zhang Heling before; but now, he suddenly became concerned. Recently, Zhang Yuan was getting annoyed so easily. But as Zhang Yansheng could see, Zhang Huan was Liang Yingying¡¯s seven inches. Liang Yingying would depend on Zhang Huan for the rest of her life to live a good life, and Zhang Huan¡¯s words are the same as a holy decree. When Zhang Heling shouted, she really didn¡¯t dare to pinch her. After all, it will leave a purplish mark, so the evidence is too obvious. Liang Yingying was so angry that she poked Zhang Heling¡¯s forehead aggressively: ¡°That¡¯s great for you, isn¡¯t it? You dared to report your own mother?! Did you complain yesterday which caused me to be scolded by your father?!¡± Zhang Heling already knew that it was Zhang Yansheng who took the photo and sent it to Zhang Huan last night. But Zhang Heling is not a villain who betrays her teammates. The little girl is not stupid either. Her big black and white eyes rolled around and said, ¡°Dad saw it by himself! Look, such a big mark is so conspicuous!¡± As she said this, she stretched out her arm. Now it has turned into a purple-red patch, which is indeed conspicuous. It is also very likely that Zhang Huan saw it by himself. Liang Yingying poked her twice in anger: ¡°I can still get you!¡± ¡°You can¡¯t pinch me anyway!¡± The child has a keen intuition, Zhang Heling felt Liang Yingying¡¯s weakness, so her courage increased, ¡°If you pinch me, I will go to my dad!¡± Liang Yingying was going to die of anger: ¡°Who gave birth to you?! You don¡¯t have a conscience! I gave birth to you for nothing!¡± In the past, Zhang Heling didn¡¯t dare to contradict, because no one supported her. If she tries to go against Liang Yingying, then she will be tortured and beaten in vain. But now it¡¯s different! She has a sister! Even her dad speaks for her! Zhang Heling became more courageous and she was not so afraid of Liang Yingying now. Seeing that although Liang Yingying didn¡¯t pinch her, she can still slap her, but she didn¡¯t wait to be beaten as foolishly as before. She pushed her bowl and ran away: ¡°If you hit me, I will tell my dad!¡± Liang Yingying was so angry that she said to Liang Zheng bitterly: ¡°Look, what¡¯s the use of giving birth to her? A white-eyed wolf!¡± CH 30 Enchantress | January 1, 2022 Liang Zheng really didn¡¯t understand Zhang Huan¡¯s words. He still has the dream of driving in and out of the company with the company boss every day. But on Tuesday, he didn¡¯t take the luxury car with the boss and the driver. After eating breakfast in the dining room, he waited for a while, but did not see Zhang Huan coming downstairs. He also asked an aunt specially, but the aunt said: ¡°Master has already left.¡± Liang Zheng was dumbfounded: ¡°Huh?¡± The aunt said, ¡°Master made an appointment to play golf with someone. Now that the weather is hot, they all went to play early, so it will be cooler.¡± Zhang Huan went to play golf early in the morning. Old men like him pay great attention to health. So, the sunshine, air, and lawn are a must in playing golf. Liang Zheng asked, ¡°Did the driver and the car went with him?¡± The aunt thought to herself, Nonsense, if they don¡¯t go with him, will they have to serve you instead? The aunt resisted the urge to roll her eyes, smiled forcibly and said, ¡°Of course.¡± After speaking, she quickly turned around and left. At this time, it was still early for Liang Yingying to wake up, so Liang Zheng couldn¡¯t find her. He could only complain at the dining table: ¡°How can I go to the company then?¡± Without a car, it would be really a hassle, because the Zhang family¡¯s mansion is in a villa district. There is a lake near where it is located and the natural environment is very good. However, the nearby residential areas are all villas, so there are no buses and subways. Zhang Yansheng wiped her mouth with a tissue, got up and went upstairs. Liang Zheng complained to Zhang Heling: ¡°Your sister is too arrogant.¡± Zhang Heling thought to herself, ¡®My sister actually treats you well, you haven¡¯t seen how she treats my mother and my brother.¡¯ She hummed twice and didn¡¯t speak. She is small but has a delicate mind. Although the number of times she went back to her mother¡¯s hometown is small and she doesn¡¯t have much contact with people from her maternal grandmother¡¯s family, but in a short period of time, she feels that she doesn¡¯t like her maternal grandmother¡¯s family. Both her maternal grandparents only regarded Zhang Shuocheng as a baby egg, which was very common to her. This kind of differential treatment made her disappointed in them. Then, her maternal uncle and aunt, including this cousin, would always mention how rich the Zhang family was, this eccentric attitude and sour tone really makes people feel uncomfortable. Therefore, she really didn¡¯t have a good impression of her relatives on her maternal grandmother¡¯s side. This cousin has been here for a few days, and has not done anything to her liking, but attracted her annoyance instead. It¡¯s not as good as not being in the same city before. These two sister cousins, one is arrogant and the other is a fool; and the other cousin is a little brat, who doesn¡¯t listen to people and can¡¯t be offended. Liang Zheng angrily wiped his mouth and got up. He wondered how he could get to work. Take a taxi¡­ it¡¯s a bit expensive. Take the bus, not only does it take time to go back, it¡¯s far and slow, and it also feels too low class. The boss of the company is his uncle, and to round up, he should be considered a half-boss. When the boss rides a bus, he can¡¯t afford to be ashamed. He was standing on the porch at the gate when he suddenly saw the car driven by Xiao Zhou. Huh? He is so stupid! How could he forget that the Zhang family still has another driver! ¡°Hey, you!¡± He had been to Xiao Zhou¡¯s car with Liang Yingying when they went to the Ferrari shop before, so he knew Xiao Zhou. He went straight up and gave instructions, ¡°Send me to the company.¡± Xiao Zhou said to himself, ¡®Who the f*ck are you to act like a master here?¡¯ Although he complained so much in his heart, he couldn¡¯t really say it. He knew that this was a relative of Liang Yingying. But relatives are just relatives of the employer, not the real employer, and you can tell in a glance that this person is a¡­ poor relative. Look at that suit, a famous domestic brand. Xiao Zhou was unhappy and said with a smile on his face: ¡°Miss Yanyan might use the car later.¡± Liang Zheng was not stupid either. When he heard it, he knew that the driver didn¡¯t look up to him very much. He didn¡¯t dare to say anything bad about Zhang Yansheng. She is the child of the first wife. Liang Yingying is a mistress, who entered the family with her children. Liang Zheng was also unconsciously short in front of Zhang Yansheng. But to a driver, Liang Zheng had no such worries and immediately said, ¡°What do you mean? Will she use it or not? How do you become a driver? Don¡¯t talk nonsense if you don¡¯t know it. Besides, even if she¡¯ll use it, what¡¯s the big deal? She is a child, what kind of affairs she has, isn¡¯t it much more important for me to go to work instead?¡± Xiao Zhou cursed in his heart. A poor relative who regarded himself as a young master. Although Miss Yanyan is a bit more powerful, her speech is not such a commanding tone. Who the hell is he? He doesn¡¯t even pay me a salary. Xiao Zhou rolled his eyes and said, ¡°I¡¯m just a driver and I can¡¯t make a decision. Why don¡¯t I ask for instructions?¡± As he said that, he took out his cell phone and made a call. Liang Zheng vented his anger through his nostrils: ¡°Mrs. Zhang is my aunt. She is your boss¡¯ wife. You will know if you ask her if I can use this car.¡± Unexpectedly, Xiao Zhou called Zhang Yansheng. Xiao Zhou is quite clear about the antagonistic relationship in this family. He knows that Zhang Yansheng will never like Liang Yingying¡¯s relatives. He used to have little dealings with Zhang Yansheng, but last time he was manipulated by Zhang Yansheng, so he found out how powerful she is. He didn¡¯t like Liang Zheng¡¯s fake tiger power in his heart, and planned to take a gamble to see if Miss Yanyan would be on his side. Zhang Yansheng¡¯s cold voice sounded: ¡°Hello?¡± Xiao Zhou said loudly: ¡°Miss Yanyan, I want to ask if you are going out soon. The thing is, Mr. Liang wants me to send him to the company. I¡¯m afraid it will conflict with your schedule.¡± There was silence on the phone for a second, and soon, the eldest miss of the Zhang family, Zhang Yansheng, said very cooperatively: ¡°Yes, I am ready to set off now, I will go downstairs right away.¡± The corners of Xiao Zhou¡¯s mouth curled up, knowing that he had made the right bet. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, Mr. Liang.¡± He hung up the phone and said embarrassedly, ¡°Miss Yanyan will get down soon.¡± Liang Zheng didn¡¯t expect that a mere driver would play this game for him. His face flushed, he stuck out his neck and said, ¡°Okay, let¡¯s wait for her here! I¡¯ll tell her, can her child¡¯s play be more important than the adults¡¯ affairs?¡± Zhang Yansheng immediately understood Xiao Zhou¡¯s meaning when he received his call. She didn¡¯t expect Xiao Zhou to be so good, in fact, she was a little surprised. In her heart, she always thought that Xiao Zhou was Liang Yingying¡¯s person. She hung up and went downstairs. On the stairs, Zhang Heling met her and asked: ¡°Sister, where are you going?¡± She didn¡¯t stop, threw her a sentence of ¡°I need to attend to something¡±, and went downstairs. When she walked out of the house, Liang Zheng was red in anger beside the car, and was confronting Xiao Zhou. On the other hand, Xiao Zhou was full of smiles, very slick and sly. Those who have been in society for some years are different from those who have just graduated from school. Zhang Yansheng walked over without looking at Liang Zheng, and said directly to Xiao Zhou, ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡± It¡¯s as if Xiao Zhou had arranged the itinerary a long time ago. Xiao Zhou secretly gave Zhang Yansheng a thumbs up in his heart, and respectfully opened the car door for her. The style was very standard. Liang Zheng stretched out his hand to stop her: ¡°Yanyan, where are you going?¡± Zhang Yansheng said, ¡°Go out to do some errands.¡± ¡°I¡¯ll ask again, where are you going?¡± Liang Zheng asked. Zhang Yansheng raised his eyebrows: ¡°Are you a policeman? Why should I report to you?¡± Liang Zheng held back a sigh and said, ¡°No, I¡¯m just telling you that your brother has to go to work. You see, it¡¯s a serious matter for adults to go to work, which is different from children like you. What can you do, shouldn¡¯t we prioritize the important things first? So today, brother will use this car first.¡± ¡°You, an adult, don¡¯t even make arrangements for such a serious matter, like how to go to work every morning, in advance?¡± Zhang Yansheng asked rhetorically. Liang Zheng choked. He said angrily: ¡°I didn¡¯t expect that my uncle would have something to do today!¡± It was even more funny. Zhang Yansheng said in surprise: ¡°You¡¯re not thinking that my dad can send you to work every day if he is available, right?¡± Liang Zheng was even more surprised than her: ¡°We live in the same place anyway.¡± Xiao Zhou had already turned his face away, afraid that he would laugh out loud and make this ¡®Young Master Liang¡¯ faceless, and then become angry with him again. Zhang Yansheng thought that it was really amazing how her father had tolerated this stuff for a week in her previous life. She and Liang Yingying had torn their faces anyway, and didn¡¯t care about offending Liang Zheng at all. She sneered and said, ¡°What do you think? My dad is the boss and he doesn¡¯t have to work every day like you. He often has other arrangements to meet some people and talk about things. Even if he goes to the office, it¡¯s not the same time as you. He doesn¡¯t need to check in for attendance, but you have to, right? Your pay will be deducted for being late.¡± Liang Zheng was dumbfounded: ¡°What should I do to go to work in the future?¡± Zhang Yansheng was speechless: ¡°What you need to do regarding your work, do you have to ask these things to a kid like me?¡± Xiao Zhou was holding back his smile so hard that he couldn¡¯t help shaking twice. ¡°Then what?!¡± Liang Zheng¡¯s mind turned around, ¡°We have two cars and two drivers in the house¡­¡± Zhang Yansheng interrupted him directly: ¡°What does that have to do with you?¡± ¡°Huh?¡± ¡°You mean to say that with two cars and two drivers, there happens to be one who can pick you up and drop you off, is that right?¡± Zhang Yansheng smiled sarcastically, ¡°How many cars and drivers do our family have? But what does it have to do with you?¡± ¡°This car is more than 5 million yuan, and the driver earns a salary of several thousand yuan a month. Did you pay a penny?¡± ¡°You take our family¡¯s salary, you live in our house, and now, you still want to arrange our car and driver to service you?¡± ¡°Before you speak, look in the mirror and see how big your face is?¡± Although Liang Zheng knew that Zhang Yansheng was arrogant, he didn¡¯t expect this little girl to speak so mercilessly. His face flushed, but he couldn¡¯t say anything to refute. ¡°Driver Zhou, let¡¯s go.¡± Zhang Yansheng put on her sunglasses. Xiao Zhou hurriedly stretched out his hand to block the roof of the car to prevent a collision, let Zhang Yansheng sit in safely, and then carefully closed the door. When he passed by Liang Zheng, he shrugged and spread his hands, indicating that he had no choice. Liang Zheng watched the car drive away, leaving him with only a tube of exhaust gas. He gave a fierce ¡°Ugh¡±: ¡°Dogs look down on people! This is something!¡± His chest heaved with anger for a long time, and wanted to rush upstairs to wake Liang Yingying up and complain, but he didn¡¯t dare. When he was in high school, he knew that his aunt in K City had money, and he knew that the family¡¯s conditions had improved later because of all the money from this aunt. Liang Yingying is very tall and majestic in his heart. He was so angry that he finally called a taxi. He didn¡¯t dare to lose his temper with Liang Yingying, he made a call to his father on the way, he talked profusely and scolded fiercely: ¡°What the f*ck is this? A f*cking girl with a dead mother, looking down on people!¡± The taxi driver listened all the way, frequently looking at him from the rearview mirror. When he was dropped off at the destination, the driver went to pull other customers. After a busy morning, at lunch time, the driver drove to the place where the big guys used to gather to eat, drank cold tea, and told everyone a gossip: ¡°I pulled an idiot this morning. It was a guy whose head was caught in the door¡­¡± CH 31 Zhang Yansheng got into the car and Xiao Zhou started the car. He drove slowly at first and asked, ¡°Miss Yanyan, where are we going?¡± Zhang Yansheng said indifferently: ¡°Anywhere, just find a place to drive around.¡± Xiao Zhou said: ¡°Thank you, then.¡± Zhang Yansheng didn¡¯t need to go out at all and just pretended to use the car, basically taking this matter to herself. If she didn¡¯t take the driver and the car out, and Xiao Zhou did not give in to Liang Zheng¡¯s request, Liang Yingying would blame him, and Xiao Zhou wouldn¡¯t be able to take it. But now, since Zhang Yansheng had taken Xiao Zhou and the car away, it means that she¡¯s taking this matter on herself. This became a matter between Zhang Yansheng, Liang Yingying, and Liang Zheng now. Xiao Zhou smiled and praised: ¡°Miss Yanyan, you are so clever. You understood what I meant immediately when I called.¡± He said again: ¡°That person is so annoying, he eats at your house, lives in your house, and takes a salary from your company, which is as high as 25,000 to 80,000 yuan. Who does he think he is?¡± Zhang Yansheng stroked her fingers and said, ¡°I thought¡­ you obeyed to Liang Yingying very much, and should be on Liang Zheng¡¯s side.¡± Xiao Zhou said with a smile: ¡°Considering what you¡¯ve told me before, it¡¯s your father who pays me the salary. It¡¯s just that your father assigned me the job to drive for his wife and you. This is my own duty, there is no personal feeling involved.¡± But Zhang Yansheng really regarded him as Liang Yingying¡¯s person in her previous life. Not only him in fact, in her last life, in this family, apart from Aunt Luo, no one has turned their eyes towards her. But Aunt Luo, who was the only one biased towards her, had run away by herself. Looking back at that time, she really felt that she was all alone, feeling the loneliness between heaven and earth, with hostile eyes towards everyone. Thinking about it now, she felt that it was so ridiculous. People like Xiao Zhou and Aunt Wang are just working for the sake of money. In fact, there is no such thing as anyone to exist for someone. Even Liang Yingying, herself, it is difficult for people to give her a good impression. Aunt Wang was gossiping about her with the other aunts back in her last life, and she told them even the piercing the condom incident, and she actually had a lot of dissatisfaction with Liang Yingying. It¡¯s just that Zhang Yansheng had blinded her eyes and couldn¡¯t recognize the whole picture. Under the feeling of ¡®the whole world is the enemy¡¯, she ran away from home and abandoned the place where there were many memories of her and her mother. She easily left that home to Liang Yingying, making Liang Yingying a winner in life. She was wrong. In this life, no one is going to take away her home. Liang Yingying was woken up by a phone call before she got up by herself. She took out the cellphone and saw that it was her elder brother. She answered it after a yawn: ¡°Hello?¡± ¡°Yingying! What does your Zhang family mean? Do you look down on us this much, huh?¡± He gave Liang Yingying a headache: ¡°What happened?¡± Liang Yingying¡¯s elder brother became a chatterbox, he reiterated to her all the grievances his son had just complained to him, and said, ¡°What happened? Didn¡¯t you say that you had squeezed that little girl in the palm of your hand a long time ago? Xiao Zheng said that she is powerful and she is not afraid of you at all. Moreover, she is in charge of her younger brother and sister!¡± Liang Yingying cursed in her heart. She is not afraid of anything else, but she is just afraid of losing face in her natal family. Obviously, Zhang Yansheng was so stupid in the past, and she exploded as soon as she was tipped off, making Zhang Huan dislike her more and more. Liang Yingying doesn¡¯t know what medicine she has taken recently, as if she has changed. Zhang Huan also began to favor her. Liang Yingying said stiffly: ¡°Don¡¯t listen to Xiao Zheng¡¯s nonsense! I am an adult, so how can I quarrel with a child? It¡¯s too much!¡± Brother Liang said, ¡°Xiao Zheng said that your family is very inconvenient to live in. He can¡¯t get to and from work the same way as my brother-in-law. They both live in the same place, but they can¡¯t be picked up and dropped off together!¡± Today is only Tuesday and Liang Zheng will go to work the next day again. Zhang Huan didn¡¯t tell her anything, and Liang Yingying didn¡¯t pay attention either. After hearing what her elder brother said, Liang Yingying woke up suddenly and realized that Zhang Huan might not be happy to let Liang Zheng take his car every day. Thinking about what Zhang Huan said before that he asked Liang Zheng to ¡®live here first¡¯ and find a house as soon as possible¡­ Seriously, the drivers and aunts have a place to live in such a big house, so why is there no place for her nephew to live here? She couldn¡¯t help but complain in her heart. But Liang Yingying can¡¯t lose face in front of her natal family. She pretended to be composed and said: ¡°It¡¯s not a big deal. We live in a villa district and it¡¯s completely different from the places where little white-collar workers live near subways and buses. You haven¡¯t been here that much to know these things. This is a low-density area! You don¡¯t understand.¡± ¡°It¡¯s easy to solve the problem of going to work, Liang Zheng is an adult, and what kind of car does he really want to grab from a child?¡± Of course, Liang Yingying can¡¯t say that she and Zhang Yansheng fought over the same car and the driver before, but she lost. However, Zhang Huan bought her a Ferrari because of this. In Liang Yingying¡¯s heart, this was because Zhang Huan loved her, and she also coaxed Zhang Huan well. She never thought that if Zhang Yansheng was over 18 years old and could have a driver¡¯s license, this Ferrari might have been bought for Zhang Yansheng instead. She said, ¡°Does Xiao Zheng have a driver¡¯s license? There are several cars at home, so I can have him drive one of them.¡± She was rich and wealthy, so she opened her mouth and promised to give Liang Zheng a car to drive. Brother Liang¡¯s anger turned into joy: ¡°He has, he has it! He went to take the exam before graduating from university. Hey, just saying, you should pick a better one for him, don¡¯t be too reserved. Anyway, it¡¯s for the nephew of the big boss¡­!¡± Liang Yingying said angrily: ¡°The Zhang family doesn¡¯t own a worn-out car, okay!¡± ¡°That¡¯s true.¡± Brother Liang smashed his mouth and said, ¡°I saw your post about your newly bought Ferrari. F*ck, that car is worth millions, right?¡± Liang Yingying downplayed: ¡°Just 3 million yuan.¡± Brother Liang was envious: ¡°You are living a good life¡­¡± He changed his words and said, ¡°Look at you. Any leak from your fingers is enough for our big family to eat and drink. So then, your sister-in-law and her brother¡­¡± ¡°Stop!¡± Liang Yingying immediately blocked her elder brother¡¯s mouth, ¡°My sister-in-law and her brother have a bullsh*t relationship with me!¡± ¡°Don¡¯t say that, after all, she¡¯s your sister-in-law¡­¡± Brother Liang smiled. Although Liang Yingying¡¯s elder brother is idle and has no decent work, he was pretty good to her before. It has only become annoying after having a sister-in-law. Her sister-in-law has never been very fond of seeing such a young girl at home. But who would have thought that this little girl will fly up to the branch and become a phoenix later? Now, the sister-in-law wants to curry favor with her, but she¡¯s holding a grudge. ¡°I don¡¯t care, so what can you do about it? Let me tell you, whether it¡¯s borrowing money or finding a job, let them dream.¡± Liang Yingying snorted and said, ¡°Liang Zheng is my nephew, so I can take care of him. Other people, forget them, do you think I¡¯m someone who has a lot of money but stupid? Dream on! My sister-in-law and her younger brother want to find a job, right? It¡¯s okay. Let Liang Zheng go back and make room for his uncle. I don¡¯t mind anyway. Do you think that¡¯s okay?¡± ¡°Bullsh*t!¡± Brother Liang said, ¡°Of course not! Okay, I¡¯ll go back to talk to your sister-in-law.¡± Liang Yingying smiled. It¡¯s good to be rich, as it gives weight when talking to her natal family. After she hung up the call, she thought about Zhang Yansheng blocking her again, she gritted her teeth with hatred. When she went downstairs for breakfast at noon, she only saw the two cubs she gave birth to. After waiting for a while, she didn¡¯t see Zhang Yansheng. She asked, ¡°Where¡¯s that person?¡± Zhang Heling raised her eyes: ¡°Who?¡± Liang Yingying snorted and said, ¡°Zhang Yansheng.¡± Zhang Heling said, ¡°Why don¡¯t you just say my sister?¡± Liang Yingying said angrily: ¡°You really treat her as a sister, huh?!¡± Zhang Heling was silent for a while, then asked in surprise; ¡°Am I not my father¡¯s child?¡± Liang Yingying almost choked on a mouthful of milk, coughed a few times, and cursed, ¡°What nonsense are you talking about?!¡± ¡°We were born to the same father, then of course we are sisters.¡± Zhang Heling said affirmatively. Liang Yingying felt that this stupid daughter was hopeless, so she rolled her eyes in anger, and remembered again; ¡°After talking nonsense for a long time, where is your good sister?¡± ¡°Sister went out.¡± Only then did Liang Yingying realize that she was stupid. Her eldest brother just called her. Isn¡¯t it because Zhang Yansheng robbed Liang Zheng¡¯s car and went out? Seriously! Liang Zheng, when he comes back in the evening, he will definitely complain to herself about this matter. After Liang Yingying had ¡®breakfast¡¯, she went to the garage and wandered around, but she was worried. After packing up and dressing up, she drove out again in her newly bought Ferrari. She has gained the envy and hatred of her girlfriends, and she was proud of herself. Zhang Yansheng went out in Xiao Zhou¡¯s car, thought for a while, then came back to her senses, and said to Xiao Zhou: ¡°Go to Laili Square for a walk.¡± Xiao Zhou happily agreed: ¡°Okay!¡± Zhang Yansheng went to the entrance of the escalator where she saw ¡®that person¡¯ the other day, and wandered in the open space under the escalator for a while. Of course¡­ it is impossible to see that person again so easily. Zhang Yansheng felt that she was stupid, laughed at herself, went upstairs to have lunch alone, and then went to the queen¡¯s cake shop to buy some cakes to take home. When she got home, she asked an aunt to make some fresh juice, and called Zhang Yansheng and Zhang Shuocheng down for an afternoon tea. ¡°It¡¯s delicious!¡± Zhang Shuocheng fell in love with this brand of cake at once. ¡°Then¡­ sister,¡± Zhang Heling thought a lot and asked carefully, ¡°Since we eat this today, then tomorrow¡­ are we still going there?¡± It was originally planned that they would go to have afternoon tea and play VR games on Wednesday. The child was worried that after eating today, they would not go out tomorrow. Zhang Shuocheng also became nervous. It¡¯s just that he was severely cleaned up by Zhang Yansheng a few times, and now he doesn¡¯t dare to yell at Zhang Yansheng. If it were Liang Yingying, he would have been rolling all over the floor crying and shouting that they have to go. Zhang Yansheng glanced at the two small ones, and couldn¡¯t help but feel amused when she saw the four round eyes. Zhang Heling is really a beautiful little girl. Zhang Shuocheng actually looks a little cute when he is not naughty. Zhang Yansheng thought that her eyes must have been muddled to think this way. ¡°We¡¯ll go,¡± she said generously, ¡°I said yes already, so these words should count.¡± The two little ones cheered. An aunt brought them some fruits and she couldn¡¯t help smiling when she saw them. She went back and told the others: ¡°Look, when someone is away, this house is so harmonious.¡± Zhang Yansheng returned to the room after eating a snack. Aunt Luo was putting her freshly washed clothes into the cloakroom. As she worked, she murmured: ¡°That woman, really, I have never seen a mother like that. Why does she have to say that they are positioned in the back and that it¡¯s not good for the children she gave birth to have a good relationship with the child in front of them? Does she really have to teach bad things to her children?¡± Zhang Yansheng raised her eyebrows and asked, ¡°What did she teach them?¡± Aunt Luo repeated to Zhang Yansheng the conversation between Liang Yingying and Zhang Heling at lunch earlier, and sighed: ¡°The mother is not a good mother, but the child is a good child.¡± Zhang Yansheng sneered. Of course, since Liang Zheng was attacked today, this matter shouldn¡¯t just pass by, so Liang Yingying had to annoy her. It is impolite not to reciprocate. She sent a message to Zhang Huan: ¡®Your nephew is very dissatisfied that you don¡¯t take him to work every day.¡¯ She also included a mocking emoji pack. CH 32 Enchantress | January 3, 2022 Zhang Huan¡¯s nephew is Zhang Yansheng¡¯s cousin, but the message is obviously about his wife¡¯s nephew, Liang Zheng. Zhang Huan stared at the message for a while, knowing that something must have happened at home while he was away. Then, he turned off his cellphone and continued to smile and listen to others. He just remembered that after arriving at the company at noon today, the Human Resources Supervisor implicitly told him, ¡°I know that Xiao Liang is your nephew, so everyone takes great care of him.¡± Considering what Zhang Yansheng said, he couldn¡¯t help thinking about it. In the evening, he and Liang Zheng got home one after another. Of course, he was in his Bentley and Liang Zheng took a taxi. ¡°Uncle.¡± Liang Zheng asked when he got out of the car, ¡°Where did you come back from?¡± Zhang Huan smiled slightly: ¡°Outside.¡± Liang Zheng choked. Liang Zheng actually saw Zhang Huan¡¯s car overtake his taxi not long after he got in the car. However, there was a traffic jam during rush hour after getting off work. No matter how awesome the Bentley was, it couldn¡¯t be better than the rumbling traffic. The two arrived home almost at the same time. But Liang Zheng looked at the direction in which the car came out, and it was clear that it came out of the company! Since he was in the company, but he didn¡¯t ask him to go home with him, which made Liang Zheng very dissatisfied. Coupled with the fact that Zhang Yansheng robbed his car in the morning, he was a little annoyed and wanted to ask Zhang Huan if he was not welcome here. Fortunately, before he spoke again, Liang Yingying had already heard the sound of a car outside. Liang Yingying came out quickly, just because she was afraid that Liang Zheng would not know the severity of talking nonsense. When she was at her natal home, she always bragged about how fascinated Zhang Huan was to her and that he always followed her words. In fact, only she knew what was really going on. Bragging is just to have more face and status in her natal family. After all, since she married Zhang Huan, her sister-in-law has flattered her hard, making her particularly comfortable. At any rate, Liang Yingying had seen the world somehow, and when she looked at Liang Zheng¡¯s expression, she knew that he must be unhappy. She could see it all, and Zhang Huan could definitely see it even more. It¡¯s just that Zhang Huan is still like that, which seems to be not interested and doesn¡¯t seem to care much about anything. Zhang Huan has always been like this, even if she quarreled with Zhang Yansheng, he would still look like this good old man, who will try just to smooth things out between them. Liang Yingying hurriedly greeted him, smiling charmingly: ¡°You¡¯re back, change your clothes and get ready for dinner. The children are all at home, Shuoshuo is very good today¡­¡± Zhang Huan enjoyed this kind of greeting very much, so he stretched out his arm to her. Liang Yingying took Zhang Huan¡¯s arm and walked in, telling him some short stories, while turning her head to give Liang Zheng a wink. Seeing his aunt¡¯s wink, Liang Zheng endured it and followed in. While Zhang Huan went upstairs to change clothes, Liang Yingying dragged Liang Zheng aside and spoke to him in a low voice: ¡°What¡¯s that look on your face?! What kind of smelly face are you putting in front of your uncle?!¡± Boss Liang Zheng was unhappy and complained: ¡°My uncle was at the company this afternoon, but he didn¡¯t even call me when he went home, so I had to take a taxi. I wasted dozens of yuan!¡± ¡°Bah! Just a little money! Look at you, so worthless! I have given you a lot of New Year¡¯s Eve money for the Chinese New Year and the holidays, where are they now? Still not enough for you to spend?¡± ¡°How can that be the same?!¡± ¡°Okay, okay.¡± Liang Yingying is used to her rich life, and she doesn¡¯t like her nephew¡¯s petty style, so she said, ¡°I will reimburse you for how much it cost.¡± Only then did Liang Zheng feel more comfortable, but he still complained: ¡°My uncle really doesn¡¯t want me here.¡± Liang Yingying was afraid that he would have an opinion on Zhang Huan. He is still young, although he thinks he is mature and sophisticated, he actually shows all his thoughts on his face, which can be seen clearly. She was afraid that his little thoughts would make Zhang Huan see it and make Zhang Huan unhappy. She hurriedly said, ¡°A big boss like your uncle, who is so good at everything, how can he take care of you? Don¡¯t keep thinking about taking your uncle¡¯s car. How can your uncle have so much time to give you a ride? He has millions of yuan that go in and out every minute, and if you delay him for a minute, you will delay him making money!¡± ¡°Then how will I get to and from work in the future?¡± Liang Zheng asked unhappily, ¡°It¡¯s quite far from the company.¡± In fact, it is normal to spend an hour commuting in a big city. However, Liang Zheng comes from a small place and can walk anywhere. He also lived in a school dormitory when he was in college, and he has never commuted. Therefore, for newcomers to society like him, commuting is a tiresome and tiring thing. Of course, there is nothing in the adult world that is not tiring, and not as comfortable being a student. Liang Zheng also wants to complain about Zhang Yansheng: ¡°And that Zhang Yansheng, she is too much, this morning¡­¡± Liang Yingying immediately interrupted him: ¡°Okay, okay, I know everything about this morning. Your dad¡¯s call woke me up in the morning and I still have a headache until now. I¡¯m telling you¡­¡± ¡°I know everything about this, that dead girl has such a temper, and no one can control her. But you are not allowed to quarrel with her, do you hear me?!¡± She grabbed Liang Zheng¡¯s arm, for fear that he would not know the seriousness of this issue, and pressed his arm vigorously, ¡°At any rate, she is your uncle¡¯s biological child and the eldest daughter. You have to give your uncle some face.¡± In fact, if Liang Zheng really quarreled with Zhang Yansheng in public, he would find that Liang Yingying couldn¡¯t manage Zhang Yansheng at all, and Liang Yingying¡¯s true status in this family and Zhang Huan¡¯s mind would be exposed. This is what Liang Yingying doesn¡¯t want for him to see. It¡¯s a great feeling to return to your hometown gloriously. No one can find that there is such an undignified thing underneath. ¡°All right, I got it. I¡¯m just going to consider you and my uncle¡¯s faces.¡± Liang Zheng muttered. But he asked again, ¡°What should I do when I go to work in the future? Do I really have to take the bus?¡± This is what he¡¯s most unhappy with. Taking a bus is really a shame, but he can¡¯t afford to take a taxi every day. He squinted his eyes to look at Liang Yingying, actually hoping that his aunt would be more generous and cover the taxi fare for his daily commute. The result was better than he expected. His aunt said angrily, ¡°What bus are you talking about?! You can afford to lose to that person, but I can¡¯t! Did you bring your driver¡¯s license? Bring it here, I¡¯ll give you a car to drive.¡± Liang Zheng was overjoyed and immediately said: ¡°I¡¯ll bring it! Auntie! I want to drive your Ferrari!¡± Liang Yingying almost staggered because of his words! He really dares to speak! Liang Yingying smiled angrily and poked her nephew¡¯s head: ¡°What are you thinking? I just got the car for two days, okay! You just wait, when your aunt buys a new car in the future, I will give this old Ferrari to you!¡± Speaking in a boastful manner. As for when there will be a new car in the future, then¡­ let¡¯s talk about it later. If Zhang Yansheng heard it, she would have sneered already. The problem is Liang Zheng is like Thaksin,1 ah! ¡°Okay! We have a deal!¡± He couldn¡¯t wait to pull the hook with his aunt and talk to death! Although it¡¯s an old car, it¡¯s still a Ferrari! Liang Zheng could already imagine when he drove the Ferrari back to his hometown in the future, those fellow countrymen and classmates should look at him with envy, and how they will surround him with flattery! As for the girl he has been struggling to catch up with, let her wear high heels and chase his Ferrari¡¯s exhaust smoke! Hmph! At the dining table, Zhang Yansheng found that Liang Zheng was not only in a very good mood, but seemed to have no grudges about the morning¡¯s events, and there was a faint trace of pride in his eyes. Zhang Yansheng felt strange at first, and then she understood after thinking about it. In this life, since Zhang Huan stopped taking Liang Zheng the next day, it goes without saying that Liang Yingying must have given a family car for Liang Zheng just like in her previous life. Zhang Yansheng tugged the corner of her mouth, only slightly, lowered her head to continue eating, and ignored him. Although Zhang Huan usually loves to be at home in peace ¡ª after all, his age, experience, and city mansion are all here ¡ª the various looks of his wife and children at the dinner table fell into his eyes, including the kid Liang Zheng. Comparing Liang Zheng and Zhang Yansheng, he was secretly surprised. This eldest daughter, in just these days, seems to be completely reborn. She is still cold to people, but it is not the kind of blunt indifference thinking that the whole world owes her just like in the past. There was alienation in her coldness. If it weren¡¯t for her young age, she would be a bit noble and glamorous. After eating, Liang Zheng couldn¡¯t wait to wink at Liang Yingying, and wanted to go and see ¡®his car¡¯ as soon as possible. Liang Yingying smiled and said to Zhang Huan: ¡°Husband, it¡¯s really not convenient for Xiao Zheng to go to work from here, and it¡¯s not good to delay your time by taking your car every day. I thought that otherwise, the BMW at home would be driven by him first. What do you think?¡± That BMW is the cheapest car in the family, and it is used to go to the supermarket to buy groceries for the aunts. Zhang Huan doesn¡¯t care about this kind of small money and trivial matters: ¡°Okay.¡± Liang Yingying smiled and took Liang Zheng to see the car with a reserved expression. The two little ones were in a hurry to play games and watch cartoons after eating, so they both ran away. Zhang Yansheng chewed slowly, and finally finished eating. She pushed away the dishes and chopsticks and said, ¡°I¡¯m done¡±, ready to go upstairs. ¡°Yanyan, Yanyan!¡± Zhang Huan stopped her. Zhang Yansheng turned her head, and Zhang Huan smiled and hooked his fingers to her. Zhang Yansheng: ¡°¡­¡± To be honest, she is not the real 15-year-old Zhang Yansheng. Therefore, in her memory, Zhang Huan hadn¡¯t made such a relaxed and intimate expression and movement to her for many, many years. Zhang Yansheng reflexively remembered the few tears Zhang Huan shed after she died. Yes, just a few drops. At that time, they had become very rusty, the family affection in her childhood had been almost wiped out, and all that was left was resentment. He later gave her an expensive funeral. The cemetery, tombstones, and urns were all expensive, and she was buried next to her mother. In the end, he only took some money to send her away. Zhang Yansheng had a complicated taste in her heart, and asked indifferently: ¡°What are you doing?¡± Although she is still cold these days, Zhang Huan feels she¡¯s much better now compared to how she used to be noisy. Zhang Huan was not angry at all, and said with a smile: ¡°Come here, tell Dad what happened today? Let¡¯s have a chat between father and daughter.¡± Next to the small hall, there is a room with a wine rack on the entire wall and a bar. Zhang Huan sometimes likes to have some drinks there. As a little taste of life, he can also mix drinks. Zhang Huan gave Zhang Yansheng a non-alcoholic soft drink and brought it to her: ¡°It¡¯s been a long time since you saw Dad bartending, right? This is your favorite drink, try it.¡± Zhang Yansheng was silent for a moment, then took it and tasted it. It was indeed the taste of childhood. When she was young, she liked to watch her father make colorful wines or drinks at the bar, like he¡¯s doing some magic tricks. Afterwards, she would applaud hard. Her mother would sit on the side and smile softly. Later, when her mother left this world, he brought Liang Yingying in, and those times were gone. ËûÐÅ ¨C Thaksin Shinawatra (1949-), Thai businessman and politician, prime minister 2001-2006 CH 33 Enchantress | January 4, 2022 ¡°What happened today? Why did you send me that text message?¡± Zhang Huan asked. Zhang Yansheng sneered and said, ¡°Someone thinks that he is a young master. Not only do you have to pay him a salary, but you also have to pick him up and drop him off using the family¡¯s car. That someone will not be satisfied if he was not served well.¡± She told him what happened in the morning. As a matter of fact, she also told Zhang Huan: ¡°You have to make it clear to this kind of person. What¡¯s the use of saying those kinds of half-contained words? People don¡¯t have that string in their minds.¡± Zhang Huan was very happy: ¡°But you understand.¡± Zhang Yansheng was speechless, and Zhang Huan said indifferently: ¡°Those people¡­ it doesn¡¯t matter if they understand or not, they won¡¯t be able to turn the sky over anyway.¡± Seeing Zhang Yansheng¡¯s disapproving expression, he took a sip of wine, and said leisurely: ¡°Yanyan, you are young now, black and white, jealous and hateful. You have to grow up to understand that there are some things you have to be confused about. Just talk about these relatives, they cannot be broken. For people like us, that kind of relative will never be broken. Apart from anything else, you know that your grandmother is such a powerful person, but look at her side with a lot of relatives¡¯ misdeeds, does she still have to take care of them?¡± Zhang Yansheng said in a cold voice, ¡°That would also give you some points. At least the cousins and aunts on Grandma¡¯s side are not white-eyed wolves.¡± ¡°Did Xiao Liang do something more?¡± Zhang Huan said, ¡°If he is a white-eyed wolf, wait for him to do something. But for now¡­he has not.¡± Zhang Yansheng looked at this old man, was he confused? His eyes were very clear. Zhang Yansheng knew that she had always underestimated her own father. He understands everything in his heart. He just weighed things. When the situation was within his control and acceptable level, he would open one eye and close the other. Just like in her previous life, the contradictions between Zhang Yansheng and Liang Yingying, he was blindly confused. Because he wants to make himself more comfortable. Zhang Yansheng felt something astringent in her mouth. She bit the straw fiercely and drank loudly, concealing her emotions. Zhang Huan didn¡¯t notice it. These days Zhang Yansheng gave him a feeling of a grown up and maturity, which made him very happy. He enjoys such a peaceful and intimate conversation with his daughter, and is happy to teach her some truths in life. It¡¯s just that Zhang Yansheng doesn¡¯t agree with his ¡®truth¡¯. She hated his philosophy of life that pretended to be confused with understanding. ¡°But there are some things that cannot be corrected and controlled in time.¡± She calmed down and raised her eyes. ¡°In the end, you will lose control and won¡¯t be able to bear the end result.¡± For example, Zhang Yansheng¡¯s death and also Zhang Shuocheng¡¯s crime. At that time, Zhang Huan could no longer be ¡®confused¡¯ anymore, but he was already old then, so he would eventually be bitten by these results. Zhang Huan laughed: ¡°You are quite prepared for the rain.¡± He is not Zhang Yansheng and he does not know the future. He was still full of confidence at this time, feeling that everything in this family was within control, which could make him comfortable, relaxed, and happy. Zhang Yansheng tugged at the corner of her mouth. She can work hard to change her future, but it is tiring to change Zhang Shuocheng¡¯s future, and it is actually not her responsibility. After all, she persuaded Zhang Huan: ¡°Forget about anything else, Zhang Shuocheng, you have to manage him well. With his current personality, if both of you, husband and wife, continue to get used to it like this, you will suffer from it in the future.¡± All of a sudden, Zhang Huan¡¯s good feeling that he thought he was in control of everything was broken. ¡°Oh, Shuoshuo, this kid¡­¡± He couldn¡¯t help but murmured, ¡°It would be great if your mother was still here. She is the best at taking care of children.¡± Once upon a time, his late wife had disciplined her daughter well. The home is warm and comfortable, so he doesn¡¯t need to worry about anything. But as soon as he spoke, he knew he had said the wrong thing! If the late wife is still alive and there is Zhang Shuocheng, an illegitimate child outside, could the late wife be able to discipline his illegitimate child for him? Without a word, Zhang Yansheng grabbed the glass and threw it at his feet! The glass fragments, ice cubes, and liquid were splattered everywhere, making Zhang Huan shake his pants. Zhang Huan backed away in embarrassment and apologized again and again: ¡°Dad was wrong, Dad was wrong. Oh, this mouth doesn¡¯t listen to orders, talking about your mother blindly!¡± Zhang Huan was remorseful. What does he owe to his f*cking mouth to speak about that person? It¡¯s over this time, his daughter will be hysterical again! Unexpectedly, Zhang Yansheng was just standing there, her chest was rising and falling violently, she was obviously extremely angry, but she didn¡¯t say a word. She stared at Zhang Huan, and the anger in her eyes made Zhang Huan imagine how hard she gritted her teeth, but she still pursed her lips tightly. Zhang Huan was embarrassed and worried by her, but in the end, Zhang Yansheng just turned around and left. Zhang Huan shook his pants and looked at his daughter¡¯s back with a sigh of relief. Why are people so cheap? In the past, his daughter was noisy all day long, screaming hysterically and shedding tears when she was agitated, and he only felt annoyed. Now that his daughter is obviously mature and grown up, she can even control her intense emotions, and that¡¯s a good thing. But why is he so lost in his heart? Ugh. He raised his eyes and saw an aunt probing her head at the door, he beckoned: ¡°Hey, hey, clean this up.¡± He pulled a few paper towels, wiped his pants, and polished his shoes¡¯ surface. While sighing, he walked up to go upstairs. As soon as he reached the top of the stairs, he heard the voices of Liang Yingying and her nephew. Liang Zheng complained: ¡°Isn¡¯t it embarrassing for me to drive the car that those aunts use for grocery shopping?¡± Liang Yingying said sternly: ¡°Of course not! If you don¡¯t want it, then don¡¯t drive it and just take the bus!¡± Liang Yingying said that she would give Liang Zheng a car to drive, and told him that it was a BMW. Liang Zheng was so excited at first, but was afraid of everything in contrast. When they went to the garage to take a look, he found that the BMW was a small worn-out car in front of the other cars. Liang Yingying also leaked her mouth, letting Liang Zheng know that this BMW turned out to be a car for the aunts at home to buy groceries. Liang Zheng¡¯s mood suddenly changed from joy to dissatisfaction. His vision of looking at the car was suddenly lifted by the garage of the Zhang family. What is a BMW? It¡¯s just a street car. He took a fancy at the Rolls-Royce Cullinan in the garage. That is even better than Liang Yingying¡¯s Ferrari! That is a man¡¯s car! A man should drive that kind of car! But that was Zhang Huan¡¯s car, a big off-road car that cost more than 6 million. Liang Yingying didn¡¯t dare to have him drive it. When facing the Zhang¡¯s family, Liang Yingying and Liang Zheng are one whole, as they are both from the Liang family. In order to prevent the Liang family from being looked down upon by the Zhang family, especially Zhang Yansheng, Liang Yingying had to protect Liang Zheng no matter what. But when there are only two of them, they are two independent people, each with their own positions and interests. Liang Yingying rolled her eyes at the time and choked him: ¡°What are you dreaming about? Since it cost more than 6 million, if you rubbed its paint, you can¡¯t afford it even if you lose your salary for 10 years!¡± This price really made Liang Zheng¡¯s feet soft, and it also made his heart fiery. It¡¯s a pity that he pestered Liang Yingying for a long time, but Liang Yingying still didn¡¯t let him drive the Cullinan. He complained in his heart that this little aunt was too stingy. Liang Zheng didn¡¯t know that his aunt was not unwilling, but could not let him instead. She had blown the world to the sky in her natal family, but in fact she did not have a high status in this family that Liang Zheng thought. She couldn¡¯t take Zhang Huan¡¯s car to give Liang Zheng a favor. Liang Zheng was dissatisfied and felt that he was not an outsider with his aunt, so he couldn¡¯t help but complain. Who knew that Zhang Huan happened to walk to the top of the stairs and had just ascended two steps when he heard it? Zhang Huan stopped and didn¡¯t leave. Liang Yingying and the two walked through the corridor before seeing him. Liang Zheng was still thinking about it, Liang Yingying immediately gave Liang Zheng an elbow and told him to shut up. Zhang Huan was smashed by his daughter. Of course, he owed it to his mouth and he couldn¡¯t blame his daughter. However, this does not mean that he is not angry in his heart, but it is just that this anger cannot be directed at Zhang Yansheng. This is just right, someone hit the muzzle of the gun. Zhang Huan stood on the stairs and said with a smile: ¡°That BMW is indeed worn-out.¡± Liang Zheng was shocked and overjoyed, thinking that his uncle was going to help him speak and improve the grade of the car for him. ¡°But it doesn¡¯t matter, anyway, you won¡¯t live here for so long, so you will only drive it for a few days.¡± His uncle said, ¡°Find a house as soon as possible. Remember to look for more convenient transportation, like taking a subway or bus going to work.¡± He thought for a while and then kindly told Liang Zheng: ¡°There are many young people in the company who rent houses and find co-tenants. You can go to the Human Resources department and ask.¡± After speaking, he walked upstairs. Liang Zheng was dumbfounded. He opened his mouth to talk, but Liang Yingying quickly stomped on his foot with her sharp eyes, and he let out a cry of pain. Zhang Huan heard it on the stairs. He pretended not to hear it, and continued walking up slowly. Liang Yingying pulled Liang Zheng aside in the corridor and asked him vigilantly: ¡°What are you doing, what did you want to say just now?¡± ¡°No, this¡­¡± Liang Zheng was angry, ¡°Is he driving me away? I¡¯m his nephew! Is there any other uncle who is like this?¡± ¡°You keep your voice down for me!¡± Liang Yingying hurriedly pulled him further away, for fear that Zhang Huan would hear them. ¡°Auntie, aren¡¯t you angry? I¡¯ve only been here for a few days, but he already started telling me to rent a house! Why can¡¯t I live in this such a big house?¡± ¡°No matter how big it is, it¡¯s not your home!¡± Liang Yingying said angrily. She still hadn¡¯t figured it out. Obviously, Zhang Huan had promised to let him live at home before Liang Zheng came, but then he changed his mind later. She said, ¡°The car will be driven by you first, then you have to find a house as soon as possible.¡± Zhang Huan is not a stingy person; he is not stingy with money or things. But he has already said it twice about letting Liang Zheng rent a house by himself, which shows that he is really unwilling to let Liang Zheng continue to live here. Liang Yingying didn¡¯t dare to defy Zhang Huan¡¯s order, so she could only urge her nephew to move away quickly. Liang Zheng became even more annoyed: ¡°Are you still my aunt?¡± ¡°I¡¯m not your aunt, I don¡¯t care where you ask for food!¡± Liang Yingying spat, ¡°Don¡¯t be ignorant of good or bad, the work has been arranged for you, so what else do you want?!¡± ¡°I am ashamed to say it! I am embarrassed to tell my friends that I am just an intern in my own company!¡± In fact, when Zhang Huan arranged for Liang Zheng to start as an intern, Liang Yingying was also quite dissatisfied. But now that Liang Zheng is complaining about her husband, she has to stand on Zhang Huan¡¯s side again, so she scolded him: ¡°Who didn¡¯t start as an intern in the first place! Let me tell you, when your uncle entered his own company as an intern, no one knew who he was. He had really started from the grassroots level, but look at your uncle now!¡± Liang Zheng said: ¡°Nonsense, if he becomes an intern again, he will be the boss sooner or later. After all, he is the real boss of the ¡®company of his own family¡¯. Can that be the same with me?¡± He was very dissatisfied and wanted to fight for himself again. Whether he lived in Zhang¡¯s house or a position in the company, he had to say more. Liang Yingying went on but suddenly looked behind him. An aunt had cleaned up the glass dregs and was about to throw the garbage, but Liang Yingying saw it with her sharp eyes. ¡°What happened?¡± she asked the aunt. The aunt saw that there was no one around. Zhang Huan and Zhang Yansheng both went upstairs and whispered, ¡°Miss Yanyan lost her temper just now and threw a glass. It splashed on the Master¡¯s pants.¡± Liang Yingying and Liang Zheng suddenly realized almost at the same time. The culprit who made Liang Zheng unable to continue living here has been found! Zhang Yansheng must have forced Zhang Huan to drive Liang Zheng away! This excess baggage!1 Original words are ÍÏÓÍÆ¿ (dragging oil bottle) ¨C referring to the children of the ex-husband who remarried women in the old society and brought them to the husband¡¯s house. In fact, the correct statement should be ¡°dragging sickness¡± rather than ¡°dragging oil bottle¡±. CH 34 Enchantress | January 5, 2022 In the end, Liang Yingying agreed to Liang Zheng that she would pay his rent, so Boss Liang Zheng reluctantly agreed to move out. But Liang Zheng¡¯s request for a promotion and salary increase was choked back by Liang Yingying: ¡°How many days have you been working? It¡¯s less than three days! What promotion are you talking about?¡± Liang Zheng was sullen and went upstairs muttering. In the guest room, Liang Zheng complained to a friend of his: ¡°A dead girl, an excess baggage! A dog that looks down on people! She doesn¡¯t want to think about who I am. I am the nephew of her parents. She doesn¡¯t want to think about herself either, she was not my aunt¡¯s biological child, and she was superfluous with this family. Without her, how harmonious my aunt and my uncle¡¯s family of four would be?!¡± His friend said, ¡°Isn¡¯t she just a middle school student but you still can¡¯t control her? Are you that weak?¡± Of course, Liang Zheng couldn¡¯t admit it and said bluntly: ¡°I am an adult, so I can¡¯t just lower myself to a middle school student, right? It¡¯s just a matter of minutes for me to manage her!¡± His friend squeezed him: ¡°Then show us how you rule her.¡± ¡°F*ck, let¡¯s go easy on the fire.¡± Liang Zheng said. Although he said that, Liang Zheng thought of Zhang Yansheng and grinned his teeth bitterly. Of course, Zhang Yansheng didn¡¯t know that Liang Zheng and Liang Yingying had both blamed her on what Zhang Huan said to them. But even if she knows, it doesn¡¯t matter, who cares! She flipped through her cellphone at night and saw that several middle school classmates asked her out to play. She replied that she didn¡¯t have time and refused them. Most of her friends in middle school were like clouds of smoke later. Zhang Yansheng had almost forgotten them a long time ago, and she didn¡¯t want to go out to play with middle school students. Anyway, she is a 21-year-old adult in her soul. What fun will be there with a group of middle school students? After throwing away the cellphone, she finished a few sets of questions again before going to bed. On Wednesday morning, for the first time, Zhang Shuocheng didn¡¯t need Zhang Heling to go upstairs to pick him up. He actually went downstairs to have breakfast by himself. Zhang Huan was quite surprised. He soon discovered that the two little ones were very absent-minded, especially Zhang Shuocheng, whose buttocks were sitting on a chair, but he kept twisting around, like an earthworm. ¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡± He couldn¡¯t help asking. Zhang Shuocheng glanced at Zhang Yansheng. Zhang Yansheng ignored him. Zhang Shuocheng is now afraid of her and dare not speak, so he keeps glancing at her anyway. Zhang Huan knew at a glance that something must be going on. It¡¯s just that he angered his eldest daughter by saying a wrong thing last night, and now he is a little embarrassed to talk directly to Zhang Yansheng, for fear that the eldest daughter will start a temper and give him no face in front of the two younger ones. Zhang Huan looked around, and called Zhang Heling ¡®quietly¡¯ in a voice that Zhang Yansheng could also hear: ¡°Hehe, Hehe!¡± He squeezed his eyes at Zhang Heling: ¡°Tell Dad, what special day is today? What¡¯s the good thing?¡± Zhang Heling also glanced at Zhang Yansheng. Unlike Zhang Shuocheng, she was not afraid of Zhang Yansheng. She said in a crisp and cheerful voice: ¡°Today, my sister promised to take us both to the VR gaming center!¡± Zhang Shuocheng also said loudly: ¡°And eat cake!¡± Zhang Heling corrected him: ¡°It¡¯s afternoon tea!¡± ¡°Yes, afternoon tea! Afternoon tea!¡± Zhang Shuocheng became excited, slapped the table and shouted. The excitement is that one is playing VR, and the other is the fact that the two sisters want to take him out. Zhang Huan was not only delighted that Zhang Yansheng had become close to the young children, but also a little worried, so he couldn¡¯t help but glance at Zhang Yansheng. Zhang Yansheng knew what he was thinking, glanced at him, and said, ¡°He won¡¯t be lost. Aunt Wang and Xiao Zhou will come with us.¡± Zhang Huan calmed down and smiled dryly: ¡°I can rest assured then.¡± Having said that, in his heart, the eldest daughter is only 15 years old and she is still a child. Before he left, he still talked to Aunt Wang and Xiao Zhou. Liang Yingying didn¡¯t go downstairs for breakfast until noon as usual. At the dinner table, she heard the two little ones chattering about going to the VR gaming center in the afternoon. She yawned and asked strangely, ¡°Who will take you there?¡± Zhang Shuocheng hurriedly said, ¡°Eldest sister will take us there!¡± Liang Yingying¡¯s face was pulled down at that time: ¡°Where are you going? She is still a child herself. What should I do if I lose you?¡± Zhang Heling hurriedly said, ¡°I will keep an eye on him as well.¡± Liang Yingying scolded: ¡°What will you be looking at, huh? You are all children yourselves! Even you will be lost at that time! No one is allowed to go!¡± What she said was ¡®not allowed to go¡¯, but in fact both she and Zhang Yansheng understood that what she really meant was ¡®not allowed to go with Zhang Yansheng¡¯. Zhang Yansheng had been treating her as air at the dining table. By now, the two younger ones were all dumbfounded. She finally raised her eyes and said, ¡°Okay, then you take them.¡± After speaking, she pushed away the dishes and chopsticks and went upstairs. The noise in the dining hall was heard on the stairs. Zhang Shuocheng poured out: ¡°Take me there! Take me there! I¡¯m going to the VR gaming center! You take me there!¡± Liang Yingying yelled loudly: ¡°I don¡¯t have time. I have an appointment!¡± Immediately after the sound of dishes falling to pieces, Zhang Heling screamed: ¡°Mom, don¡¯t hit him! Shuoshuo! Beware of sharp fragments!¡± Zhang Shuocheng cried, Liang Yingying cursed, and the aunts rushed in and shouted, ¡°Be careful! Be careful!¡± It was a mess. Zhang Yansheng tugged at the corners of her mouth and went upstairs. After almost half an hour, someone knocked on the door of her room: ¡°Sister! Sister!¡± Zhang Yansheng walked over and opened the door. Zhang Heling dragged Zhang Shuocheng, who was crying with tears and snots, to Zhang Yansheng. The party committee asked aggrievedly, ¡°Are you really not going to take us there?¡± Zhang Shuocheng cried with a ¡°wooo¡±, and there was a tendency that he will lie down and roll on the spot. Zhang Yansheng shouted, ¡°Stand up straight for me!¡± Zhang Shuocheng quivered and did not dare to lie down on the ground, while crying and hiccupping, he stared at Zhang Yansheng. Zhang Yansheng asked Zhang Heling, ¡°What¡¯s the matter with him?¡± Zhang Heling also twitched her nose and said sadly: ¡°My mother refused to take us there. She made an appointment to play cards and wanted to go out. Shuoshuo hugged her leg and refused to let her go, and pulled her skirt apart, so she slapped Shuoshuo.¡± Zhang Shuocheng wailed, Zhang Heling tried to intervene and suffered a few times in the chaos. At the end of the scene, Liang Yingying changed her clothes and went out. Nothing can stop Liang Yingying from going out. She is a woman who can¡¯t stay at home at all. Zhang Shuocheng lay on the ground and wailed, but Aunt Wang couldn¡¯t coax her to come over. Zhang Heling was still clever, tugging at his ears and telling him, ¡°Let¡¯s go and beg elder sister again¡­¡± Zhang Shuocheng stopped crying, and followed Zhang Heling upstairs with snots on his face. ¡°Are we really not going?¡± Zhang Heling was super aggrieved. She already said yes, and they have been looking forward to it for several days. It was all messed up by their mother, so it was not their fault. Wooo~ Zhang Yansheng moved his gaze up, avoiding Zhang Heling¡¯s big tearful eyes, and said angrily: ¡°Go take him to wash his face and change into new clothes. It¡¯s disgusting!¡± The snot or something got on his clothes. Zhang Heling opened her eyes wide and let out a cheer! Then, she dragged Zhang Shuocheng away! Zhang Shuocheng was still ignorant, Zhang Heling patted him anxiously: ¡°Hurry up and wash your face and change clothes. Elder sister promised to take us there!¡± Zhang Shuocheng also cheered. This time, Zhang Heling didn¡¯t need to drag him. He ran upstairs and shouted, ¡°Aunt! Aunt Wang! Change my clothes!¡± Zhang Heling stepped back again and poked her head at the door: ¡°Sister, which one are we wearing today?¡± Zhang Yansheng thought for a while: ¡°The pink and blue one.¡± ¡°Okay!¡± Zhang Heling ran away. Zhang Yansheng also changed her clothes. She wanted to put on makeup. Of course, she would not put on the same makeup she did from her previous life, but at least put on some lipstick. However, after some thought, she had just graduated from middle school at the age of 15, and hadn¡¯t started putting on makeup yet, so of course she didn¡¯t have any cosmetics. I need to buy lipstick in the future, she reminded herself. Because the two little ones were in a hurry to go out to play, their movements were so fast, they didn¡¯t know how many times they got faster than what they usually do when going to school. Zhang Heling and Zhang Yansheng are dressed in sister matching clothes, both are good-looking and beautiful. Zhang Shuocheng was also cleaned up by his nanny. When he was not noisy, his appearance was quite bluffing. Only those who are close to him know what kind of child he is. Zhang Yansheng took Aunt Wang and the two little ones out together, walking vigorously. Xiao Zhou was already waiting outside. When he saw them coming out, he felt as if Zhang Yansheng was a very imposing parent. Looking closer, even though she is beautiful, her eyebrows and facial features are still not fully developed, her figure is still flat, and she is still a young girl after all. It¡¯s really weird. That afternoon, Zhang Yansheng fulfilled her previous promise, she took the two younger ones to the VR gaming center and had afternoon tea. Accompanied by Aunt Wang and Xiao Zhou, the two of them were instructed by Zhang Huan to look after Zhang Shuocheng attentively. Sure enough, Zhang Shuocheng was very energetic, running around in the plaza. Without Liang Yingying, the two and a half adults and two children had a very happy afternoon tea together. Zhang Shuocheng was having fun and eating comfortably, and he didn¡¯t make much trouble. They even talked about whether to build a VR gaming room at home. ¡°I¡¯ll check it online later.¡± Zhang Yansheng said. The two younger ones were full of energy and looked at her with bright eyes. At least at this moment, the eldest sister looks much more stalwart than their parents! Zhang Yansheng went to buy herself a complete set of full-color lipsticks, and easily bought two gift boxes of skin care products, one for Aunt Wang and the other for Xiao Zhou. Both of them smiled openly. Aunt Wang said, ¡°It¡¯ll be a waste for me to use them, so I¡¯ll give this to my daughter.¡± Xiao Zhou said: ¡°It just so happens that my girlfriend¡¯s birthday is coming soon, I no longer need to worry about it. Hahahaha!¡± Everyone in the group was satisfied, everyone was happy, and went home with ease. Zhang Huan had a dinner meeting that night, but it was temporarily cancelled, so he went home for dinner. Seeing the smiling faces of the youngest daughter and youngest son at the dinner table, Zhang Huan was also in a relaxed mood, and asked with a smile: ¡°How was it, did you have fun today?¡± Zhang Shuocheng hurriedly said, ¡°It was fun! Especially fun!¡± Zhang Heling said, ¡°We almost didn¡¯t make it, and Shuoshuo was beaten.¡± Zhang Huan: ¡°¡­Huh?¡± Zhang Shuocheng just remembered that, by the way, he was beaten up! ¡°It¡¯s my mother!¡± He complained loudly, ¡°My mother won¡¯t let us go out with our eldest sister! The eldest sister asked her to take us there instead, but she said she was going out. I didn¡¯t let her go out, so she hit me! It hurts!¡± Zhang Shuocheng became aggrieved again. Not only him, Zhang Heling was also aggrieved: ¡°I pulled her to prevent her from beating Shuoshuo, and I was also beaten several times, and it hurts.¡± Zhang Huan¡¯s socializing was temporarily cancelled today, and Liang Yingying didn¡¯t know it, so she didn¡¯t come back for dinner. It was also in her absence that Zhang Heling had the courage to complain. The eldest daughter didn¡¯t speak, but Zhang Huan could imagine the causes, consequences, and intermediate processes just by listening to the descriptions of the two younger ones. This d*mn¡­ In the past, the instability factor in the family was mainly his eldest daughter. When did it become his wife? CH 35 Enchantress | January 6, 2022 ¡°So, the main thing is to have a space, at least 20 square meters. If you want to get a few units, you need an area of 30 or 40 square meters.¡± Zhang Yansheng said. ¡°What is it?¡± Zhang Huan asked inexplicably as he watched the three siblings talk. Zhang Shuocheng hurriedly said, ¡°My eldest sister said we¡¯ll get a VR room at home! So, we can play at home!¡± Zhang Huan: ¡°Oh.¡± Zhang Heling asked, ¡°Where is it going to be?¡± Zhang Yansheng said, ¡°This is what we are talking about. The thing is we have to make such a large space at home. Now, where in this house can we free up that much space?¡± Zhang Shuocheng hurriedly said, ¡°My room! My room is okay! Put them all in my room!¡± When the time comes, just close the door and play in his own room by himself. No one will care about him! Zhang Shuocheng was simply bubbling with beauty. Both of his sisters rolled their eyes. The three siblings made Zhang Huan laugh. The laughter hadn¡¯t fallen yet, and the little daughter said, ¡°The one in the basement, the one with a lot of things piled up that I don¡¯t know, is that okay?¡± ¡°Oh, that one, I think that¡¯s okay.¡± The eldest daughter said, ¡°Go back and ask the aunts to move everything to the storage room. No, let¡¯s measure the size of that room first.¡± The little daughter volunteered: ¡°I¡¯ll measure it! I will!¡± The son also stepped in: ¡°I want to measure it too!¡± The little daughter disdains: ¡°Don¡¯t make trouble!¡± The eldest daughter just dispatches work: ¡°Then I¡¯ll leave it to you. Tell me when the quantity is ready, and I will be responsible for buying it.¡± Zhang Huan: ¡°¡­¡± Seeing the three children chirping, Zhang Huan has to give up his collection room clearly. Zhang Huan held his forehead: ¡°My little ancestors, don¡¯t mess around! That room is 30 square meters, there is no need to measure it, I remember it. Don¡¯t move the stuff there, I¡¯ll arrange it, don¡¯t move anything. Wait until I move all those things to the storage room before you go!¡± ¡°Okay, when I contact the seller, you can make a payment to them.¡± Zhang Yansheng said. What else can a father do, the children are in debt. Zhang Huan could only say, ¡°Okay.¡± Zhang Heling and Zhang Shuocheng cheered together. Zhang Huan smiled and shook his head. However, among the three children, only the two youngest were sincerely happy, and the eldest daughter Zhang Yansheng was still faint, and she didn¡¯t look up at him. Obviously, she treats her half-siblings very well, how can she be so cold to her father? Zhang Huan felt uncomfortable. After they had finished dinner, Liang Zheng came back. His mood is much better than before. Today, he left the key of the BMW car on the desk, and it really made his colleagues in the office envious and jealous. They all said: ¡°You deserve to be Young Master Zhang¡¯s nephew. You can already drive a BMW just after graduation. Not like us, 996,1 who still have to squeeze in the subway.¡± These people are really ignorant. This BMW is nothing, as it is just being used to buy groceries for the aunts at their house. He really wants to show them the Cullinan or the Ferrari and let them have a good experience! Later, these people in the office heckled and said that they wanted to try his BMW. In particular, there is a female intern in their office, a native of K City, who also graduated from a famous university. The look in her eyes has some affection. Liang Zheng¡¯s mind became hot, and he not only took these people for a ride, but also invited them to have a meal. The dinner table was full of compliments, and after the meal, the female intern was sent home. The day was very enjoyable. Zhang Huan was taking the children to have some family fun after the meal. The two little ones chatted continuously about the VR room, too excited. The eldest daughter was sitting on the sofa beside him, holding a tablet, and looking at the quotation of the VR machines. Drinking tea, Zhang Huan only felt harmonious and content. Liang Zheng came back and heard that Zhang¡¯s family was in the small hall, so he came to join in the fun: ¡°Hey, why is my aunt not here?¡± Zhang Huan thought to himself, if your aunt is here, there is a high probability that it will not be so harmonious. He would rather have Liang Yingying play outside for a longer time. Family harmony is more important. He casually asked Liang Zheng, ¡°How are you these few days, are you adapting well?¡± Liang Zheng was so motivated by this question, he immediately sat down and became a chatterbox: ¡°Uncle, I have been observing carefully in the office these past few days and found a lot of problems¡­¡± He began to point out the problems that Team Leader Xu had done, what Manager Wang had done wrong, and what he would have done if they were him. Zhang Huan felt very tired after hearing it. The water in the office is too deep, so how can a brat like him see through it? Zhang Huan has dealt with a lot of poor relatives in the past. He feels that he has always been a person with a big belly, but he doesn¡¯t know how to look at this nephew. He¡¯s always been not pleasing to the eye. When Zhang Yansheng couldn¡¯t listen anymore, she closed the cover of the tablet, stood up and left, which gave Zhang Huan a sudden realization. In the past, those poor relatives who came to fight the autumn breeze at least knew that they flattered the Zhang family. Only this Liang Zheng disregarded the children of the Zhang family more than once ¡ª mainly Zhang Yansheng. Zhang Huan could naturally perceive the confrontation with Zhang Yansheng revealed in those subtle attitudes. It was precisely because he noticed it that he resented it. In Liang Zheng¡¯s eyes, Zhang Yansheng, the child born to his first wife, is completely superfluous in the Zhang family. But in Zhang Huan¡¯s eyes, between his wife¡¯s nephew and his own daughter, only an idiot would not know who to be closer to. Zhang Huan watched Liang Zheng bombastic talk, and then watched Zhang Yansheng stand up, the two kids tended to follow as well. His time of good family happiness has been ruined just like that. Zhang Huan was very dissatisfied. He was not in the mood to listen to Liang Zheng, this little stupid boy, talking recklessly about important matters. He interrupted Liang Zheng with a wave of his hand and tried to have his children stay: ¡°Let¡¯s talk a little longer.¡± Zhang Yansheng didn¡¯t even lift her eyes: ¡°It¡¯s too noisy, I¡¯m going back to my room.¡± She left without giving any face. Maybe it¡¯s because the family has been too noisy in the past few years, so the harmony and beauty of the past few days has made Zhang Huan particularly nostalgic. He couldn¡¯t keep Zhang Yansheng, so he could only keep the two small ones: ¡°Hehe, Hehe, don¡¯t go, talk to Dad again.¡± Zhang Heling has always been well-behaved and obedient. When Zhang Huan said that, she stayed obediently, and she also grabbed Zhang Shuocheng. Zhang Huan hugged Zhang Shuocheng in his arms: ¡°Tell Dad again, which machines do you want?¡± Zhang Shuocheng said happily: ¡°The one for driving and the one for shooting!¡± No one paid attention to Liang Zheng. He was full of wise thoughts, various opinions and suggestions, and hadn¡¯t had time to present them all. It was really embarrassing and annoying. It¡¯s just that he won¡¯t put this annoyance on Zhang Huan¡¯s head. In his heart, he and his uncle are a family. Of course, this annoyance was recorded on Zhang Yansheng again, the excess baggage. He couldn¡¯t help but talk dryly, and interjected with a thick face and asked, ¡°What are you talking about?¡± Although Zhang Heling didn¡¯t like him, she was also a polite child. She wouldn¡¯t even give Liang Zheng a look like Zhang Yansheng did, and replied: ¡°Today, we went to the VR gaming center to play, my sister said that we¡¯ll set up a VR room for the family.¡± With that said, she told Liang Zheng all the machines they¡¯re going to buy as discussed earlier. Liang Zheng was surprised: ¡°This would cost¡­ a lot of money, right?¡± Zhang Heling said, ¡°Not so much, my sister said it¡¯ll only cost less than half a million yuan.¡± Liang Zheng: ¡°¡­¡± Half a million, that can buy him a car! Moreover, Zhang Heling this little child, when she said that half a million is not much, it was so natural. Liang Zheng was sitting on the sofa, feeling uncomfortable all over. He watched Zhang Huan holding and teasing Zhang Shuocheng, as if he hadn¡¯t heard the conversation there at all. He was still full of passion just now, and wanted to give his uncle¡¯s company a good opinion, but suddenly he felt uncomfortable. As long as his uncle pays him a salary of hundreds of thousands of yuan, it is worth his hard work. They should talk about when he will be promoted to a manager or director. He was full of complaints and couldn¡¯t get out, so his tone became bad, and he said, ¡°Why don¡¯t you just go out and have fun?¡± Zhang Heling was more sensitive, and already faintly felt that there was a problem with his attitude. Although Zhang Shuocheng couldn¡¯t notice it, he didn¡¯t like to listen, and yelled: ¡°There are too many people in the VR gaming center, so you have to line up!¡± It¡¯s still summer vacation, and there are so many people in this kind of fun place. When they went today, there were two machines with a long line of people. Zhang Shuocheng was the most impatient to line up. If Liang Yingying took him there, he would rush over and would demand to go first. But Zhang Yansheng led him there, held him down, and told him to line up in accordance with order, so he was so really anxious to death. Because you don¡¯t want to line up, so you have to spend hundreds of thousands of yuan? What a son of a b*tch! ¡°What¡¯s the matter with the long queue, where else can¡¯t you line up nowadays?¡± Liang Zheng said dissatisfied. Zhang Heling was about to speak when Liang Yingying came in. As soon as Liang Yingying got home, she heard from an aunt that Zhang Huan temporarily canceled his dinner appointment today and came back early. In fact, Liang Yingying has been Mrs. Zhang for several years, but she has never been able to change the habits she developed when she was nurtured by Zhang Huan. When Zhang Huan was there, he would be the center of the solar system in her eyes, and she had to revolve around him. When she heard that Zhang Huan was in the small hall, she gave the shopping bags to the aunt and came over by herself. ¡°Why didn¡¯t you tell me that you came home early?¡± she said angrily. As soon as she walked in, she saw her husband holding her son, her daughter standing beside him, and her nephew accompanying him. This scene is really harmonious. In Particular, the excess baggage Zhang Yansheng was not present, which made her eyes too comfortable. She asked with a smile: ¡°What are you talking about?¡± Liang Zheng was full of resentment and he felt that there was no need to go in circles with his aunt, so he said bluntly: ¡°Auntie, look at the child you raised, just because he doesn¡¯t want to line up outside, so you will have to spend hundreds of thousands of yuan just to buy the game machine and place it at home! How can this be right?!¡± Is this not letting them build a VR room? Zhang Heling was angry and anxious, but didn¡¯t know how to refute Liang Zheng. Zhang Shuocheng jumped off Zhang Huan¡¯s lap without thinking about it, and said loudly, ¡°How we spend our family¡¯s money is none of your business! You can¡¯t control it!¡± These forceful children, how can they be so rude to adults?! Liang Zheng became angry. He is the eldest grandson of the Liang family and his status in the family is similar to that of Zhang Shuocheng in the Zhang family. It¡¯s easy to deal with colleagues and superiors in the company. But how can he be scolded by a little boy pointing at his nose like this in his own home? He immediately stuck his neck up: ¡°I am your elder brother, so I should care.¡± Although Zhang Shuocheng is young, he has met many relatives. Those relatives all held him and praised him. He didn¡¯t understand the twists and turns, but he naturally knew that these ¡®relatives¡¯ would not dare to do anything to him. At least he would never dare to beat him with a real knife and gun like his eldest sister. What¡¯s more, his father and mother are here, so he has nothing to fear. ¡°What do you care? What do you care?¡± He put his hands on his waist and glared, ¡°Bah!¡± Bah, it¡¯s a really rude behavior for others. This time alone, Zhang Heling wants to like2 her brother! 996 ¨C 9am-9pm, six days a week (work schedule) µãÔÞ ¨C to like (an online post on Weibo, Facebook etc) CH 36 If it was not for Zhang Shuocheng standing in front Zhang Huan, if it was not for the Zhang family¡¯s house, if it was not for him now holding the Zhang family¡¯s salary, if it was not for him still driving the Zhang family¡¯s BMW car¡­ If it wasn¡¯t for these ¡®if it was nots¡¯, Liang Zheng wanted to slap Zhang Shuocheng, this little brat, on the face, and then teach him severely to let him know what respect and inferiority between elders and children is! However, Liang Zheng held back anyway, but the look of anger on his face was too obvious, and the gaze in his eyes was too fierce. Zhang Shuocheng was a little scared and shrank back. His father Zhang Huan held him firmly, gave him support, and then glanced at his wife¡¯s nephew. Seeing that the situation was not good, Liang Yingying hurriedly stepped forward to make a circle: ¡°Okay, okay, what¡¯s the noise?¡± Everyone is close and distant. Between her nephew and her son, she undoubtedly stands by her son. She rebuked Liang Zheng angrily: ¡°You are already an adult, so you can¡¯t fight with a child.¡± Liang Zheng was holding a mouthful of old blood and couldn¡¯t swallow it. Okay, he knows that his aunt is also unreliable. In her heart, she only has her son. He looked at this and that angrily. His aunt and his cousins looked like they were not sensible people, so he finally couldn¡¯t help but say to Zhang Huan: ¡°Uncle, look at these two little kids! Even if our family has money, it¡¯s not right to spend it in such a way.¡± With millions of yuan to buy a car, Liang Zheng thinks it¡¯s okay. After all, a car is like a human¡¯s face, which represents a person¡¯s social status. But how many game machines can you get at home for hundreds of thousands of yuan? With a child¡¯s three-minute heat,1 there is a high probability that they will be disregarded in less than a week. With those hundreds of thousands of yuan, it¡¯s much better to buy him a car than anything else! This can also buy him a house in his hometown! Unfortunately, in Liang Zheng¡¯s heart, Zhang Huan, who should be the most sensible at home, did not support him. Zhang Huan touched Zhang Shuocheng¡¯s head, and said nonchalantly: ¡°It¡¯s just a little money, which can make them happy. Isn¡¯t it just for the sake of their children that men earn money?¡± He picked up Zhang Shuocheng, kissed him fiercely, and put him down again: ¡°Son, Dad made money just to spend it on you! Oh, you¡¯re getting heavy!¡± As soon as he lowered his head, he met Zhang Heling¡¯s eyes with expectation. Recently, the little daughter has become more and more cute. Zhang Huan hurriedly released a hand and rubbed Zhang Heling¡¯s head: ¡°Also, to give money for my daughter!¡± Zhang Heling said seriously: ¡°And give money to my elder sister!¡± That¡¯s right! What a sisterhood! Zhang Huan¡¯s heart was about to melt away, and he thought to himself, it¡¯s still his daughter who is sweet. When will his son be able to do the same? He rubbed Zhang Heling¡¯s head and praised her: ¡°Hehe is right! Dad¡¯s money is spent for the three of you.¡± He asked habitually again: ¡°What do you want? Dad will buy it for you.¡± Liang Zheng shouted in his heart: I want a car! It¡¯s a pity that he is not his father, and this is not something he can ask from him. Liang Yingying interrupted and said: ¡°She doesn¡¯t lack anything in this house. Leave her alone.¡± Zhang Huan has always thought that the child¡¯s affairs are in the hands of women, so they should have their mothers. This is also the reason why he did not listen to the advice of his mother and elder brother and obtained a marriage certificate with Liang Yingying. With a woman in the house, he can confidently not worry about the children¡¯s food, clothing, housing, and other matters. But recently, under Zhang Yansheng¡¯s repeated reminders, Zhang Huan finally noticed Liang Yingying¡¯s harsh treatment of Zhang Heling. Such harsh treatment is not so conspicuous in wealthy families where food and clothing are indispensable. But after being pointed out by Zhang Yansheng, he can see it everywhere now. He knows that if Zhang Shuocheng wants to ask for something, Liang Yingying will buy it for him immediately. The contrast of this attitude is simply not too stark. Zhang Huan suddenly felt very uncomfortable in his heart. Zhang Huan also favors sons over daughters, which is mainly manifested in his ¡®want¡¯ and extra love for his son. But he was born with a golden spoon and lived a life of prosperity. He never thought of treating any of his own children, including his daughters, harshly. Zhang Huan¡¯s face sank and said, ¡°Who asked you?¡± He lowered his head, and turned softly to Zhang Heling: ¡°Daddy is asking Hehe.¡± Zhang Heling was well-behaved and sweet, and said, ¡°No, if I have something I want, I will buy it myself. Dad, I haven¡¯t spent a cent of my 10,000-yuan pocket money this month. When I spend the money, I will keep a good account, and I will show it to you then.¡± Well, the eldest daughter has to move with more than 50,000 yuan a month, but she only gave the youngest daughter 10,000 yuan. Zhang Huan didn¡¯t know whether to laugh or cry. But the eldest daughter is willing to care about the younger daughter and is willing to help him worry about the younger daughter. The extra 40,000 yuan is regarded as a salary for the eldest daughter. Anyway, the money did not flow to others. What he just said is also the truth. Isn¡¯t it just for the sake of providing a good life for his family to make money? As for others, they still take the salary he paid, so why worry about them eating radishes! He hugged Zhang Shuocheng and said: ¡°Let¡¯s go, let¡¯s go, go back to your rooms.¡± Zhang Shuocheng is already old, and he should be in the second grade soon, so he can¡¯t bear to be hugged away. He struggled twice, slid off his dad, and ran away quickly, trying to go back to his room to play on the game console. ¡°Slow down! Slow down! Don¡¯t fall!¡± Zhang Huan chased after him. Zhang Heling also wanted to leave, but was dragged by Liang Yingying: ¡°I almost forgot about your pocket money!¡± The last time Liang Yingying knew that her daughter had pocket money, no one told her. She lost her temper at the time, but instead she was reprimanded by Zhang Huan, followed by a lot of mess. She just forgot about it. ¡°What do you want money for at this house?! Give me the money!¡± Liang Yingying said. Liang Yingying is already Mrs. Zhang. She usually uses a credit card for shopping and Zhang Huan pays the bill. As for the cash, she has to hold it in her own hands ¡ª although she was the main wife now, the habit of holding money from men when she was being taken care of still couldn¡¯t be changed. It¡¯s just that he is much more generous now than in the past. After all, she gave birth to two children for Zhang Huan and they are also legal couple. Zhang Huan is very generous to her in terms of money, and she is actually not short of the 10,000 yuan and 20,000 yuan. But Zhang Heling had her own pocket money quietly, as if she was out of her control, so she was upset in her heart. Zhang Heling¡¯s expression changed. In fact, she has not yet formed a formal view of money, and she is not particularly eager for money. However, opening a card for her, giving her a fixed amount of pocket money, and telling her to learn to manage money by herself ¡ª these things her sister did for her was the first time she felt valued when she grew up. And if the money her sister gave her was taken away by her mother, in terms of the relationship between the two of them¡­ her sister would definitely be very, very angry! At this moment, Liang Zheng was also red in anger and said, ¡°That¡¯s right, what kind of pocket money does this child want? Do you have a place to spend money? What do you want? Look at you, you eat and drink, what else do you lack of? Why do you want money? You are a little child and you get that much money! You!¡± Just now, upon hearing Zhang Heling say that her pocket money is 10,000 yuan a month, it shattered Liang Zheng¡¯s three views! He doesn¡¯t even have a monthly salary of 10,000 yuan! Is the world crazy? Why is the amount of a kid¡¯s pocket money greater than his salary? Why? Two adults, one is tyrannical and the other is hideous. Zhang Heling was a little scared. But she felt that if she gave the money to her mother, it would be a kind of betrayal and disappointment to her sister. Besides, her dad didn¡¯t say anything about her having pocket money! The little girl plucked up her courage, raised her head and said, ¡°I won¡¯t give it. My sister gave me my pocket money. She also asked me to learn how to manage money. She said she would check my account.¡± Liang Zheng was surprised: ¡°Your money was given by Zhang Yansheng? Didn¡¯t your dad give it to you?¡± ¡°No. It was given to me by my sister. She said that she would give me 10,000 yuan a month and let me manage the money by myself.¡± Zhang Heling replied, and then said to Liang Yingying, ¡°If you take it away, my sister will definitely ask you to give it back!¡± And even if her mother wants to give it back, her sister would likely to be disappointed at her, and she may not give her any more pocket money in the future, or she may not even care about her anymore. These thoughts flashed vaguely in the little girl¡¯s mind, she couldn¡¯t understand it, but she could feel it intuitively. Liang Zheng¡¯s eyes are even redder! He thought Zhang Heling¡¯s pocket money was given by Zhang Huan. He is the father of the child anyway. It makes sense for such a big boss to have a big family and a big business. Zhang Yansheng is still a child herself! Can she just give her elementary school sister 10,000 yuan a month casually? So, how much is her own pocket money then? Liang Zheng felt that his worldview had collapsed. D*mn it! The Zhang family is so rich, but they just give him a worn-out BMW to drive! What the hell?! Liang Zheng had forgotten at this time. When he used to imagine the future, his rhetoric was nothing more than ¡®I will definitely drive a BMW and Mercedes-Benz in the future¡¯. With red eyes, he exclaimed, ¡°Zhang Yansheng¡¯s pocket money has to be confiscated, too!¡± His voice seemed to pierce a needle through a balloon. Liang Yingying, who had been fiercely facing Zhang Heling, was suddenly discouraged. This money was given to Zhang Heling by Zhang Yansheng, so she really couldn¡¯t ask for it. Zhang Yansheng¡¯s temperament had to be torn up with her. In the past, she often secretly rubbed and teased her. She was noisy, but in fact, she often didn¡¯t make sense, and Zhang Huan didn¡¯t help her either. But now, she doesn¡¯t know how she make people get a little scared of her. You can say that she is crazy and she is quiet. You can also say that she is mature, that she can strangle her neck and almost choke her off! Recently, Liang Yingying was very jealous of Zhang Yansheng. Moreover, Liang Yingying found out for the first time that her nephew¡­ isn¡¯t he stupid? Let¡¯s not talk about whether she confiscated the money in Zhang Yansheng¡¯s hand or not. If she really took away the money in Zhang Yansheng¡¯s hand, Zhang Huan would be the first to stop her! Liang Yingying knew very well where Zhang Huan¡¯s bottom line was ¡ª no matter how much she suppresses Zhang Yansheng, she must not treat Zhang Yansheng harshly in material terms. Of course, she doesn¡¯t have this ability either. What is this stupid nephew thinking?! ¡°Take it! Take it all!¡± Liang Zheng¡¯s eyes were red and he spat at Zhang Heling, ¡°What are the children doing with so much money? A group of prodigal girls!¡± This last sentence also involved Liang Yingying. ¡°All right. I got it.¡± Liang Yingying let go of Zhang Heling¡¯s arm angrily, ¡°Zhang Yansheng gave it to you, so you can keep it.¡± Liang Zheng couldn¡¯t believe it: ¡°Auntie, don¡¯t you care about them?¡± Liang Yingying said to her heart, if I can take care of it, do you think you still have a chance to say that. But she also refused to admit in front of Liang Zheng that she couldn¡¯t control Zhang Yansheng, so she could only understate: ¡°Forget it, it¡¯s not much money. They are also older and have a place to spend their own money.¡± No, you obviously didn¡¯t say that just now, Zhang Heling thought to herself. No, you didn¡¯t say that 10,000 yuan is not much money, right? Liang Zheng shouted in his heart! Liang Yingying suddenly turned her mind, changed her thinking, and said to Zhang Heling, ¡°She only gives you 10,000 yuan a month? Why is she so stingy! Her mother left her a lot of money, don¡¯t save it for her, ask her for more money!¡± She had the same idea as Zhang Huan, that the money went to her own children and not to outsiders. Is giving 10,000 yuan a month stingy? Liang Zheng felt that he was about to vomit blood. Although Zhang Heling said, ¡°How can I ask for my sister¡¯s mother¡¯s money?¡± Then, she added very honestly: ¡°My sister said that I was still young and she was afraid that I would spend money indiscriminately, so she would only give me 10,000 yuan a month for now, and we will talk about it later if it is not enough¡± Liang Zheng: ¡°¡­¡± Liang Zheng died of old blood that couldn¡¯t be spurted out and couldn¡¯t be swallowed back. CH 37 Liang Zheng laid on the bed and looked at the ceiling. He felt that if he didn¡¯t groan a few times, he would really die. He was really angry with the Zhang family. They are too extravagant and stingy! He is also a junior, but his uncle treats him like an outsider. Not only did he not want to give him some pocket money to subsidize, but he also said that ¡®earning money is to spend for his children¡¯. It was made clear that he didn¡¯t treat him as one of his own. The more Liang Zheng thought about it, the angrier he became. He remembered that there were a lot of insightful suggestions that he was going to give Zhang Huan to improve the company¡¯s management level. He won¡¯t give them anymore! The Zhang family¡¯s company deserves to get worse and worse, and it will go bankrupt sooner or later! Imagining that the Zhang family would go bankrupt and have no money in the future, Liang Zheng finally calmed down. He took out his cellphone and swiped it, and saw that a group of brand-new social animals in the group chat of college classmates were spitting out bitterness, thinking about their school days and childhoods. After being beaten up in the society, they all thought of how wonderful it was when they used to ask their parents for pocket money. Liang Zheng felt uncomfortable when he saw the words ¡®pocket money¡¯. He said in the group: ¡°Do you know how much my sister¡¯s monthly allowance is?¡± Because Liang Zheng is used to bragging in school, everyone jokingly calls him ¡®Young Master¡¯. Seeing him say that, everyone first asked, ¡°How old is your sister?¡± Liang Zheng said, ¡°Elementary school student, probably third or fourth grade.¡± Some people boldly guessed: ¡°One thousand?¡± ¡°It¡¯s an exaggeration. My monthly living expenses in college are only two thousand.¡± ¡°Can you compare with our Young Master Liang¡¯s family?¡± ¡°That¡¯s true.¡± ¡°Young Master Liang, Young Master Liang, hurry up, solve the mystery for us, and let our group of poor people widen our knowledge. How much is it?¡± Everyone is afraid of comparison. When Liang Zheng is compared with the Zhang family, he would roll his eyes and kick his legs, wishing to die on the spot; but compared with these ordinary people, he became awesome again. He sneered at the ignorance of these people from the bottom of his heart, and said disdainfully in the group: ¡°Ten thousand yuan.¡± ¡°¡­F*ck!¡± ¡°Elementary school student?¡± ¡°It¡¯s an exaggeration¡­¡± Liang Zheng deliberately waited for everyone to make these sighs before adding: ¡°This is because she is young and afraid that she will spend money indiscriminately, so she was only given 10,000 yuan.¡± Sure enough, the group exploded again. Someone questioned: ¡°Young Master Liang, aren¡¯t you an only child?¡± ¡°Idiot, this must be about his cousin! The one who lives in a big mansion in K City!¡± ¡°Young Master Liang, Young Master Liang, do you need a husband for your cousin?¡± ¡°Go away! My sister is only an elementary school student!¡± Liang Zheng said: ¡°This is just my little sister. Her pocket money was sent by her elder sister. I don¡¯t even know how much pocket money my eldest cousin has.¡± Others asked, ¡°How old is your eldest cousin?¡± Liang Zheng said: ¡°She¡¯ll be in high school when school starts. Her academic performance is very poor, just like the kind of kid from the wealthy second-generation, who is muddy. She will also go to the best high school in K City, and my aunt paid for it to send her in.¡± In Liang Zheng¡¯s opinion, all of Zhang Huan¡¯s money is his aunt¡¯s money; Zhang Huan¡¯s company is his aunt¡¯s company; Zhang Huan¡¯s home is his aunt¡¯s home. In Liang Zheng¡¯s heart, he and his aunt are close relatives with deep affection. To sum it up, aren¡¯t these his family¡¯s money, his company, his¡­ home? All in all, Liang Zheng didn¡¯t regard himself as an outsider from the Zhang family. It¡¯s just that he regards the Zhang family as a close relative and treats them as his family, but the Zhang family treats him as an outsider. The more he thinks about it, the angrier he becomes. The person who asked about him being an only child before hasn¡¯t checked the group chat much recently because of being too busy. When he asked in detail, others pointed out the photos of various luxury houses and luxury cars that Liang Zheng had posted before and left them in the group chat. The man opened his eyes, kept admiring, and asked, ¡°Then, are you working for your aunt now? How much is it for a month?¡± This is simply inserting a knife and sprinkling salt on Liang Zheng¡¯s wound. Liang Zheng wanted to say angrily: ¡°Don¡¯t mention it, they are so rich but so stingy, they only give me 6,000 a month¡­¡± The salary is 6,000 yuan a month. Now, during the internship period, he only gets half of it, which is 3,000 yuan. Liang Zheng was halfway through typing with anger, and suddenly came back to his senses ¡ª how could he tell his classmates the truth about the collapse of his career? Everyone thought he¡¯s living in a mansion and got a Ferrari. If he let them know the truth, would he still want the face of ¡®Young Master Liang¡¯? Liang Zheng deleted all the words he had typed just now, and re-wrote: ¡°She¡¯s my own aunt, to say that I work part-time or not, it¡¯s our own company anyway and I just help them manage it. I¡¯m also embarrassed to ask for too much, one month¡­¡± He originally wanted to write 20,000 yuan a month, but when he thought that Zhang Heling still had 10,000 yuan a month for a primary school student¡¯s pocket money, then 20,000 yuan is not appropriate. How much is appropriate? He didn¡¯t know what to say. Finally, he thought to himself, how could his salary as an adult be four or five times more than his cousin¡¯s pocket money¡­ it should be six or seven times, right? Liang Zheng gritted his teeth and wrote, ¡°¡­it¡¯s only 70,000 a month.¡± There was another explosion in the group, and they expressed their envy one after another, asking if his aunt still lacks nephews, sons, and pets. And they immediately sent him a private message, asking him to help arrange jobs for them. Furthermore, they asked what position he is in now. Liang Zheng was flustered and replied: ¡°I will have the title of director first and we will talk about it later if necessary. My cousin is still so young and the company has to have his own family to help him manage it. I am the only nephew of my aunt, so I can¡¯t push this responsibility off.¡± There was another sound of admiration in the group, envy and flattery flying together. Liang Zheng¡¯s breath on his chest finally smoothed down, and after it was smoothed out, he was empty again. Although (temporarily) he lives in a large mansion, however, his monthly salary is only 6,000 yuan, and the BMW he drives is also the most worn-out car in the family. When his cousins ??went out, they were all in a luxury car that¡¯s worth about five or six million, accompanied by the driver and an aunt. This gap is too big, and the more he thinks about it, the emptier he feels. He only hates that his reincarnation skills are not good, as he became Liang Yingying¡¯s nephew instead of her son. Under the emptiness, he took out his laptop and opened a pornographic website, found a porn video and watched it. After washing his hands, he lost a lot of body fluids and felt thirsty. He opened the door and wanted to go downstairs to get some water to drink. It happened that Zhang Yansheng also walked out of her room to go downstairs, and the two met in the corridor. Liang Zheng stared at her. Tonight, because she was so uneducated, she left with a cold face without even listening to other people¡¯s words, which caused his failure to tell Zhang Huan about his suggestions for the company. Liang Zheng thought that he couldn¡¯t give this unruly girl a good face. It¡¯s just that he hasn¡¯t figured out how cold his face should be, and Zhang Yansheng has already passed in front of him, but she hadn¡¯t given him any ray of light from the corner of her eyes. He was treated completely as air. Liang Zheng: ¡°¡­¡± Liang Zheng was going to die of anger. Zhang Yansheng has learned in her life not to let herself be angry with the people she hates. Why do you want to stare at a piece of sh*t to make yourself sick? It¡¯s okay when this piece of sh*t doesn¡¯t exist. Listening to the sound of footsteps, Liang Zheng followed her and went downstairs, probably also looking for food and drink. Zhang Huan has put the words down early and asked him to rent an apartment by himself. It is expected that he will not live here for a long time and will die for a month. Just like a passerby. Zhang Yansheng came back from the dead and cherished her youth very much. She would rather spend more time memorizing formulas and solving questions than wasting time with the person with the surname Liang. She opened the refrigerator and took a look. The refrigerator in the kitchen stores vegetables, meat and eggs; and the refrigerator in the dining hall is filled with food that can be eaten at any time, such as snacks and drinks. Zhang Yansheng took some snacks and drinks casually, turned around and passed Liang Zheng. The two looked tired of each other, and neither spoke to anyone. Zhang Yansheng held the drink, torn open the snack bag, and while eating and walking, she thought¡­ will this person steal that watch in this life? If he wants to steal it, then just steal it already; then call the police and get him into jail early, so she can be worry-free. Don¡¯t keep dangling in front of her. Liang Zheng took a few cans of drinks and beer from the refrigerator and prepared to take them upstairs. He glanced diagonally from the corner of his eye, and saw Zhang Yansheng walking up the stairs holding the snacks, without turning her head at all, so he looked over boldly. The little girl hasn¡¯t developed well yet, but her legs are pretty, he thought bitterly. Returning to the room with an iced drink, he continued to watch pornographic videos. Many videos on this website are secretly filmed videos. The perverts sneaked in and installed hidden cameras to secretly record videos of couples having s*x, and secretly record videos of girls changing clothes, going to the toilet, and taking a bath. Liang Zheng watched them with gusto. A group of perverts in the bullet screen were still communicating there, discussing the bodies of the victimized women. Suddenly someone asked, ¡°I also have a video, how can I upload it?¡± Someone immediately told him: ¡°The ¡®Upload¡¯ button above the navigation bar.¡± Another message floated by: ¡°Brother, how did you film it?¡± That person answered: ¡°Hehehehe, a shared room and a camera was installed in the bathroom.¡± A group of perverts, including Liang Zheng, laughed in front of the screen whenever they saw the bullet screen. ¡­¡­ In the bedroom on the third floor, Zhang Huan threw a face directly at Liang Yingying: ¡°Next week at the latest, let your nephew move out.¡± Liang Yingying smiled and said, ¡°He is a child who is ignorant. If he says something wrong, don¡¯t mind him.¡± Zhang Huan sneered: ¡°He didn¡¯t say something wrong. He just didn¡¯t like our family.¡± Liang Yingying refused to admit: ¡°How could that be?¡± Zhang Huan was too lazy to tell her. To put it bluntly, Liang Zheng¡¯s ¡®dislike¡¯ is a hatred of their wealth. He has seen many relatives who are envious and jealous of him and his family¡¯s lives, but Liang Zheng is the first one who tried to control his family¡¯s money. He can¡¯t wait to write ¡®it¡¯s better to spend this money for me¡¯ on his face. It¡¯s really indescribably greasy. Zhang Huan didn¡¯t know what was wrong with him, that he suddenly lost patience and tolerance towards this ¡®relative¡¯. Maybe he and his wife, and this nephew really have a bad relationship. That being the case, he said, ¡°Anyway, I just made it clear to you. I won¡¯t say it the second time.¡± He glanced at Liang Yingying and went in to take a shower. Liang Yingying was very annoyed. Thinking about it carefully, this must be blamed on Zhang Yansheng, that dead girl who is such a noxious influence on her father again! She usually wakes up late, and when she waited on Thursday the next day, she saw her son and daughter, who were all around Zhang Yansheng. She was really angry. She pulled Zhang Shuocheng over and then scolded Zhang Heling: ¡°You have nothing to do, right? Have that free time to study!¡± Without waiting for Zhang Heling¡¯s defense, Zhang Shuocheng broke free from her and said, ¡°We are all done with our homework!¡± Zhang Heling said hurriedly, ¡°It¡¯s true, we have both finished our homework already. I have checked all of Shuoshuo¡¯s homework.¡± Although there were a lot of mistakes, they were all corrected and changed. But there is no need to tell this to Liang Yingying who is angry, she never cares about what they study anyway. What she often says is ¨C ¡°It doesn¡¯t matter, anyway, you have money that you can¡¯t spend for a lifetime.¡± She really felt that way, she was already so rich, and there was no need to struggle anymore. She has found them such a rich father, and it¡¯s all worth it. CH 38 When her nephew, Liang Zheng, came back in the evening, Liang Yingying also gave him a notice: ¡°Contact the agency to find a house immediately. If you go to check it out this weekend, then it will be settled immediately.¡± Although Liang Yingying promised to pay for his rent, Liang Zheng was still upset. Who the hell would feel so happy to be driven away by someone? He agreed perfunctorily, but in his heart, he didn¡¯t want to leave at all. Big room, big bathroom, big courtyard, big basement, big swimming pool¡­ Living in this big mansion is like a dream. Even if Liang Yingying agreed to pay him the rent, it would be impossible for her to rent him a villa to live in. Even if he rented a high-end apartment, there would still be a sense of loss that he has been left behind in the world. Moreover, he might not even drive the worn-out BMW that¡¯s being used to buy groceries. At that time, he will gradually become an ordinary employee who takes the subway to work, and he will be indifferent to everyone. Liang Yingying can blend herself into Mrs. Zhang, which is not for nothing compared to the years that Liang Zheng has eaten for free. What the stupid nephew thought in his heart was clearly written on his face, so she said angrily: ¡°Don¡¯t think about staying here. Let me tell you, I don¡¯t care if you find a good house or not, you will pack up your things and leave next week, and live wherever you like. If you don¡¯t want to find a house, then I can just save the rent fees. Don¡¯t think about asking me for it in the future!¡± Liang Zheng secretly hated his aunt for being so heartless. But in the end, he can only agree. When he went back to the room, he called the agent with resentment, and specifically stated what he wanted ¡°Okay! Luxuriously decorated!¡±, and said, ¡°Don¡¯t save me money¡±. Such people are stupid and rich, the agent likes them the most, and vowed to satisfy him. When Liang Zheng went to work on Friday, the agency responded to him. They sent him photos of several high-end apartments, all of which were luxuriously decorated and looked high-end and upscale. It would be okay if he lives in such a house by himself. Liang Zheng finally calmed down a bit and replied, ¡°How much is it?¡± The agent replied: ¡°The first set is 30,000/month, the second set is 28,000/month, and the third set is small and cheap, only 20,000/month.¡± Liang Zheng: ¡°¡­¡± In Liang Zheng¡¯s small hometown, the rental price of a one-bedroom and one-bathroom house is only 600 yuan. If you¡¯ll discuss it with the owner, there¡¯s no problem talking about 500 yuan for the rent. The city where he went to school was also low in prices, and the children in the school who rent houses outside will not rent expensive ones. So, when he told the agent ¡®luxurious¡¯ and ¡®don¡¯t save money¡¯, he actually didn¡¯t expect that the rent in K City would be so expensive. Of course, most people would not rent such an expensive one. Who told him to speak out? The agent thought he was a high-end customer, and he was looking for high-end apartments. He didn¡¯t expect him to be a small white collar with a salary of only a few thousand dollars. He is still an intern who hasn¡¯t become a full-time employee yet. If the agent knew about it, he would roll his eyes with anger first. Liang Zheng was frightened by the rent, but the agent even diligently asked him to make an appointment to see the house. He could only perfunctorily reply: ¡°I¡¯ve been busy recently, so I can¡¯t arrange a time now. I will contact you later.¡± When he returned to Zhang¡¯s house after getting off work, he quietly called Liang Yingying down after dinner and showed Liang Yingying these houses. Liang Yingying almost laughed. Her nephew really doesn¡¯t regard himself as an outsider. She said that she would pay his rent fee, so he really dared to look for it! He found this kind of high-end apartment, so if she gives him more face, she¡¯s afraid that he might then look for a villa. Although Liang Yingying would give her family some money from time to time, she was willing to leak them through her fingers. She, Liang Yingying, came out early to mess with society, but she was not someone who would recognize others lying to her to suck blood! No one can do it! Neither her natal family! Her parents can¡¯t do it, not to mention her nephew! She threw Liang Zheng¡¯s cellphone directly back into his arms: ¡°How much salary do you get a month, huh? How dare you live in such a house? Look in the mirror yourself, do you deserve it?¡± Although Liang Zheng had predicted that there was a high probability that this would not work, he was still a little embarrassed when she told him that, and said, ¡°Didn¡¯t you say that you would pay me the rent?¡± Liang Yingying poked him: ¡°How did I know you had such a big face! ! !¡± It was so big that it could cover the sky. Liang Zheng became angry: ¡°So, what should I do? You don¡¯t like the house I¡¯m looking for, where should I live then?¡± Liang Yingying yelled at him and said, ¡°Look again! Hurry up!¡± Under Liang Yingying¡¯s urging, Liang Zheng can only turn on the computer and log on to the website of the real estate agency. It was only when he thought about opening those commercial houses that Liang Yingying ¡®snapped¡¯ her hand and said, ¡°How much is your salary? Can you afford to live there? Look at what kind of house your colleagues in the office live in.¡± Of course, the kind of single young people who come to K City to drift, all live in that kind of old and broken town. Many people still share or even rent in groups. Liang Zheng was not happy anymore: ¡°How can I live in that kind of broken-down house?!¡± Liang Yingying spat at him again: ¡°Broken-down house? If you look at the house prices in K City, you can¡¯t afford to buy this old and dilapidated house for the rest of your life! Who do you think you are! A big boss?¡± ¡°Although I am not a big boss, but!¡± Liang Zheng tapped the table, ¡°My uncle is the boss! You want me to live in that kind of place? I¡¯m embarrassed that you feel no shame!¡± ¡°I have nothing to be embarrassed about! When I first came to K City, I lived in the basement! It doesn¡¯t even have a toilet! If I want to pee in the middle of the night, I have to get up and go to the public toilet in the community! Your grandparents also told me to save some money and send it to my family!¡± Liang Yingying also became angry. As soon as she got mad, Liang Zheng flinched and muttered, ¡°Then, aren¡¯t you already prosperous now¡­¡± ¡°I am prosperous and it¡¯s none of your d*mn business! It¡¯s not you!¡± ¡°Hehe receives 10,000-yuan pocket money a month¡­¡± Upon hearing this, Liang Yingying felt that it was time to talk to her nephew. She clarified the things: ¡°Liang Zheng, let me just tell you, so that you can figure it out. Yes, I have money. Yes, Hehe has 10,000-yuan pocket money a month. But that¡¯s all f*cking money from the Zhang family, it has nothing to do with you! Do you understand?! It has nothing to do with you! There is only one eldest master in the Zhang family and that is Shuoshuo! You have to f*cking wake up, don¡¯t treat yourself as the eldest master of the Zhang family, your f*cking surname is Liang!¡± Liang Zheng deeply hates his surname Liang! Why doesn¡¯t his surname be Zhang! It¡¯s really frustrating! He was dejectedly pressured by his aunt, so he picked a few old and small one-bedroom houses online and made an appointment with the agent to see the houses on Saturday. ¡°I will accompany you tomorrow!¡± Liang Yingying said, ¡°It¡¯s almost signed. Don¡¯t be too picky. For those who have just arrived in K City like you, many people rent in groups in the basement. Who can rent the entire one-bedroom and one-living room house like you? It¡¯s so comfortable!¡± Comfortable my ass! Liang Zheng sighed while lying in bed all night. From a big villa to an old broken house, isn¡¯t that from heaven to hell? If he were a child of an ordinary family, he would come to K City by himself and start struggling from living in an underground room. He might not feel anything yet. But he has seen the wealth of the Zhang family. He has lived in a mansion and taken a luxury car. He knows what life is like for other people¡¯s children. After tasting this and returning to the life of ordinary people, the taste¡­ it¡¯s really difficult to bear. Although Liang Yingying said that she would accompany him to see the house, she had to get up and get out of bed. The earliest they made an appointment was half past 10. This is already ¡®very early¡¯ for Liang Yingying. Before she got up, Liang Zheng got up early and scurried around the house with his cellphone, taking various photos. He also changed into several different clothes. He planned to keep them for future use and post them in Moments from time to time. As for the fact that he will not live in this mansion in the future, of course, he can¡¯t let the people in his Moments know. Young Master Liang also wants a face. He is earning 70,000 yuan a month! Zhang Yansheng woke up in the morning, looked at the time, and decided to swim first. She changed into a swimsuit, put on a bathrobe, and went to knock on the door next to her: ¡°Zhang Heling! Get up! Let¡¯s go swimming!¡± The little girl¡¯s sleepy voice came from the room: ¡°Huh? Oh¡­ coming!¡± Zhang Yansheng didn¡¯t wait for her, so she went downstairs first. Who knew that Liang Zheng was taking various poses of selfies in swimming trunks next to the swimming pool? Zhang Yansheng: ¡°¡­¡± There was an unbearable sight early in the morning. Zhang Yansheng rolled her eyes, took off her bathrobe and threw it on the recliner, stretched her arms, and jumped straight down. She deliberately slapped the water surface; and Liang Zheng, who was taking a selfie, was splashed all over with water unexpectedly. He hurriedly wiped the water from his cellphone with a bath towel first, lest the water get into the cellphone. After wiping his face, he turned his head and saw that a girl in the swimming pool was no other than his eldest cousin Zhang Yansheng. She must have done it on purpose! Liang Zheng was so angry! But he can¡¯t scold her even if he wants to! He is an adult and she is just a child, who is also a girl, especially a girl who no one dares to provoke in this family, how can he care about it? It seemed embarrassing for him to be bothered about her. Liang Zheng bitterly comforted himself: I don¡¯t care about young girls¡¯ porn videos anyway. He turned around to leave, glanced again, and his heart moved. Although the young girl¡¯s porn videos are of no interest for him, what can¡¯t be denied is that this little girl is really a beautiful girl. Although she is not yet fully developed, her snow-white skin glows brightly in the water. She is wearing a two-piece swimsuit with straight and long legs and a thin and tight waist. When she swings up and down in the water, she looks like a mermaid. Liang Zheng was shocked and aroused, he looked around to see that there was no one, and quietly raised his cellphone¡­ ¡°Cousin, what are you doing?¡± Zhang Heling¡¯s voice suddenly sounded, which made Liang Zheng shiver with fright, and his cellphone almost fell. ¡°You scared me, why are you walking silently?¡± Liang Zheng grabbed his cellphone and complained. Zhang Heling also changed into a swimsuit and wore the bath towel as a cape, like a superhero. She looked at Liang Zheng suspiciously and felt that his expression was a bit wrong: ¡°What are you doing?¡± ¡°Nothing¡­¡± Liang Zheng hesitated, ¡°I¡¯m here to take a few selfies.¡± But just now, she clearly saw him holding his cellphone, facing the pool. ¡°So what? Do you¡­ want to swim?¡± Liang Zheng changed the subject. Children are easily deflected. Zhang Heling¡¯s attention was distorted all of a sudden and she said, ¡°Yes, do you want to swim too?¡± ¡°I can¡¯t, I¡¯m going to have breakfast, you should swim well and exercise well every day, hahaha.¡± Just as he was about to slip away, someone behind him said coldly: ¡°Stop right there.¡± Liang Zheng turned his head and saw that Zhang Yansheng had already come out of the pool, covered in water. She took off her swimming goggles and threw them on the chair, her eyes were sharp, shooting over like a knife. ¡°Delete it!¡± CH 39 ¡°Ah, what?¡± Liang Zheng pretended to be dumb shamelessly. Anyway, the screen of his cellphone is locked, and his cellphone has a password. For a pervert like him, there are too many things in his cellphone that can¡¯t be seen, so he naturally needs a password lock. Zhang Yansheng took two steps and said in a cold voice: ¡°Delete the photo you just secretly took now.¡± Zhang Heling was there. Considering the little girl¡¯s mental health, Zhang Heling wouldn¡¯t understand what Liang Zheng was taking pictures of. She was wearing a swimsuit and was covered in water. The Liang family are all tall, and Liang Zheng looked at her condescendingly, and felt that there was no threat. He continued to pretend to be stupid: ¡°What did I secretly take pictures of? How am I not taking fair shots here? What¡¯s the matter, did my aunt and uncle even say that taking selfies are not allowed in this house?¡± Zhang Yansheng was disgusted with his look like a rascal. In her previous life, he was such a disgusting person. If she caught him taking pictures, he would pretend to be a fool. If she made trouble, Liang Yingying would jump out to protect him. ¡°Don¡¯t play dumb.¡± She said, ¡°You know what I¡¯m talking about.¡± Liang Zheng was happy. He could see that Zhang Yansheng was unwilling to tell Zhang Heling that he was taking pictures of her upfront. This kind of tender-skinned little girl, it¡¯s the best person to bully. ¡°I¡¯m so sorry, this brother doesn¡¯t know.¡± He said with a hippy smile. He is a man, so what is he afraid of? Zhang Yansheng has no patience with such people. He is not worthy. ¡°Take out your phone.¡± She said, ¡°Give it to me.¡± ¡°That won¡¯t work.¡± Liang Zheng smiled and shook the cellphone in front of Zhang Yansheng, ¡°A kid like you don¡¯t understand that cellphone is a very personal item. This is personal privacy, so it¡¯s not okay to demand others to give you their cellphones.¡± As long as people are shameless, they can be invincible, especially in the face of such a shameful little girl. Liang Zheng thought triumphantly. Unfortunately, he was wrong. The more Zhang Heling listened, the more she felt that the atmosphere was wrong. Her cousin and sister will not start with a few words like how she did it with Zhang Shuocheng. They were just talking, but the atmosphere was obviously wrong. And the attitude and expression of her cousin¡¯s speech¡­ why is it so annoying? Although she doesn¡¯t know what photo he took as what her sister said, Zhang Heling had already given her cousin an ¡®X¡¯ and her sister a ¡®¡Ì¡¯ in her heart. Zhang Heling was about to move to Zhang Yansheng¡¯s side, when she suddenly saw her sister facing her rascal cousin without saying anything, but waved her hand. The hand knife cut Liang Zheng¡¯s wrist, and Liang Zheng spread his hand off guard. Before coming to K City, his new cellphone, which he bought deliberately because he was afraid of being despised by Zhang¡¯s family, drew a parabola in the air perfectly and¡­ fell into the swimming pool. There was a brief stagnation in the air. Then with Liang Zheng¡¯s pig-killing shout ¡°My new cellphone!¡±, he jumped into the pool with a puff. However, the place where the phone fell was at the deepest end of the swimming pool. Although Liang Zheng can also breaststroke tens of meters, he has never actually learned how to swim properly. He scrambled twice in a panic, but failed to get to the bottom of the water to reach the cellphone. After finally holding back his breath for the third time, he finally got the cellphone out. Just as he grabbed the shore, before climbing up, he only felt that his hand slipped, and Zhang Yansheng leaned over to the cellphone and took it away from him. ¡°Hey!¡± Liang Zheng shouted loudly. It¡¯s a pity that Zhang Yansheng didn¡¯t even shake her eyebrows. Zhang Heling only saw her sister pull away, and then threw it hard ¡ª The phone that had just been soaked in water flew out of a beautiful arc above the swimming pool and landed firmly on the other side of the swimming pool. There was a clear ¡®click¡¯ cracking sound. Liang Zheng was completely heartbroken! There are so many things hidden in the phone!!! Zhang Yansheng calmly put on her bathrobe, fastened her belt, and walked towards the house. Liang Zheng was furious, climbed out of the swimming pool, wiped his face, and shouted angrily: ¡°Zhang Yansheng! Stop right there!¡± As he roared, he ran over and reached out to grab Zhang Yansheng¡¯s shoulder! Zhang Heling exclaimed: ¡°Sister! Watch¡­¡± Before the word ¡°out¡± was spoken, Zhang Yansheng¡¯s figure flashed, and her feet hooked. Not only did Liang Zheng pounce, he was also directly tripped and threw himself on the ground, almost knocking his teeth off. Zhang Heling¡¯s mouth opened into an ¡°O¡± shape. Liang Zheng hadn¡¯t even realized how he had fallen. He propped up his body and looked up. Zhang Yansheng¡¯s bathrobe hem and beautiful calf were right in front of him. Liang Zheng stretched out his hand and grabbed Zhang Yansheng¡¯s waist. It was followed by a sharp pain in the shoulder. Zhang Yansheng folded Liang Zheng¡¯s arms behind his back, pressed her knees against his back, and asked, ¡°What do you want to do?¡± Liang Zheng struggled a few times, but after Zhang Yansheng was reborn, her strength was magically increased a lot. That strength was stronger than that of an adult man. Liang Zheng only felt as if an iron tower was being pressed on his back, and he couldn¡¯t break free at all. Zhang Heling was still watching, his face flushed and he finally said, ¡°Let go of me, what are you doing?! I am a guest of your family!¡± Zhang Yansheng let out a ¡°heh¡±: ¡°I have never seen a guest like you.¡± As she said that, she still let him go. Zhang Heling was so afraid that her sister and cousin would fight. Seeing her sister let go, she breathed a sigh of relief. Although her cousin pounced on her sister viciously just now, she is not worried about her sister. How her cousin fell just now, and how he couldn¡¯t get up after being pressed to the ground, she could see clearly. My cousin looks like¡­ not my sister¡¯s opponent at all. What should she do if her sister is super cool?! She feels like she¡¯s going to have star eyes!1 After this useless struggle, Liang Zheng had already realized the value of Zhang Yansheng¡¯s force. He just remembered that he seemed to have heard Zhang Shuocheng¡¯s little brat say that Zhang Yansheng has been training since she was a child, and it seemed to be true. No matter how angry he was in his heart, he could only hold back his breath, pointed to the other side of the pool and accused her: ¡°Zhang Yansheng, tell me, what should I do about that?¡± Zhang Yansheng put her hands in her bathrobe pocket and raised her eyebrows: ¡°Do about what?¡± ¡°My cellphone! Don¡¯t play dumb!¡± Liang Zheng glared at her, he was really distressed, ¡°That d*mn thing, it hasn¡¯t been a week since I bought it! It costs me a few thousand big!¡±2 For the first time, Zhang Yansheng learned that the word ¡®big¡¯ could be added after ¡®few thousand¡¯. She let out an ¡°oh¡± and asked rhetorically, ¡°Then what are you going to do?¡± Liang Zheng thought to himself that although the cause of this incident was that he took pictures of Zhang Yansheng, but she did not lose too much, and she even destroyed his cellphone. Compensation, Zhang Yansheng must compensate him! ¡°Pay me!¡± Liang Zheng put his hands on his waist, ¡°I don¡¯t want money! I want a new cellphone! Exactly the same phone! Right now, immediately, quickly!¡± He thought it over, and when Zhang Yansheng couldn¡¯t grant this request, he would claim the loss again. So, he can ask for more money then. Unexpectedly, Zhang Yansheng sneered and said, ¡°Okay.¡± Liang Zheng was taken aback, not believing that she would be able to get a cellphone right now. This cellphone is the latest model of Fruit. It was only launched a few months ago. He bought it specially before he came to K City. Even if you go to buy it now, it will take an hour or two to go back and forth on this road! ¡°Don¡¯t smile, I¡¯m not kidding you.¡± He said with a tiger¡¯s face, ¡°Adults can¡¯t do without cellphones, do you know that?! Do you know how many important people you have to contact via your cellphone?! You ruined my cellphone. Do you know how much you delayed me! I¡¯m with¡­¡± He was talking endlessly, Zhang Yansheng was already annoyed, so she shouted: ¡°Hehe!¡± Zhang Heling slid in front of her: ¡°Sister!¡± ¡°¡­¡± Zhang Yansheng said, ¡°Go to my room, in the third drawer on the right-hand side of the desk, get the cellphone for your cousin.¡± ¡°Okay!¡± Zhang Heling put on the bath towel as a cape and ran away like Batman. Zhang Yansheng walked into the house in her slippers. Liang Zheng shouted ¡°Hey!¡±, chased for two steps, turned his head, and glanced at Zhang Yansheng again. He stomped his feet with anger, but still ran to the other side of the pool to pick up the broken cellphone. When the water enters it and the body is shattered, this cellphone can¡¯t be repaired at all. Liang Zheng¡¯s heart hurts, his liver hurts, his lungs hurt! Not only for the cellphone, but also for all the contents in the cellphone! While pinching it, he took the bath towel and took a breath first, then went to the house to find Zhang Yansheng with a groan. Zhang Yansheng asked Zhang Heling to get the cellphone, right? Is there really one? Why is it so coincidental that there is a new cellphone at home? It must be a bluff, right? Liang Zheng didn¡¯t believe it very much. Could it be that some old cellphone will be used to fool him? That¡¯s not okay! Either pay for a brand new one with the same model! Or double the loss money! Thinking quickly in his mind, Liang Zheng entered the house aggressively. Entering through the door on this side is the small hall where the Zhang family take some rest. Zhang Yansheng was sitting on the sofa waiting for Zhang Heling, and when she turned her head, she saw a pack of Zhang Huan¡¯s cigarettes on the corner table. Zhang Yansheng naturally took one and bit it. She picked up the lighter and lowered her head to look down at it. Suddenly, she reacted ¡ª she was the 15-year-old Zhang Yansheng. The cigarette was then held between her fingers, and then placed under the tip of her nose to smell it. In the end, Zhang Yansheng still squeezed it into a ball in the glass ashtray. Zhang Heling got the order from Zhang Yansheng and ran quickly. When Liang Zheng stepped into the small hall, she also happened to run down with the box in her arms: ¡°I¡¯m coming, I¡¯m coming! Sister, is this it?¡± Zhang Yansheng took it and had a look, threw it on the sofa on the other side, and said to Liang Zheng, ¡°See if it¡¯s the same model.¡± Liang Zheng picked it up suspiciously and took a look. It was not only the same model, but also the latest version of this model. The broken one in his hand is just a low-profile version. Plus, it¡¯s not an old phone. The layer of plastic film on the outside of the box is still intact, so it is 100% brand new! Liang Zheng was choked. He was dumbfounded for a long time, and asked suspiciously: ¡°You planned to destroy my cellphone a long time ago?¡± Otherwise, why is there a brand new one ready at home? Zhang Yansheng sneered, ¡°When you buy a cellphone, don¡¯t you have to buy a spare one? If not, who would prepare it for you then?¡± What the hell¡­ Who the f*ck would purchase a cellphone and then buy a spare one as well?! It¡¯s as if you are buying soy milk! Liang Zheng was resentful. ¡°Have you seen it clearly? Is it the same model?¡± Zhang Yansheng asked. ¡°It¡¯s the same model. But I don¡¯t like this color, it¡¯s too feminine.¡± Liang Zheng cleared his throat, ¡°But this would do, just this one, I will accept it.¡± ¡°You accepted it, right?¡± Zhang Yansheng nodded, ¡°Okay then.¡± With that said, she took a step forward, took out the cellphone from Liang Zheng¡¯s hand, and slammed it to the ground! The brand-new high-end cellphone shattered on the spot! It looks like it can¡¯t be used anymore! Liang Zheng was stunned. ¡°If I break one of your cellphones, then you also have to break one of my cellphones,¡± Zhang Yansheng said. ¡°Now we¡¯re even, I don¡¯t owe you anymore.¡± Zhang Heling¡¯s mouth also opened into an ¡°O¡± shape. She faintly felt that something was wrong, and then she felt that it seemed reasonable. If both of them lose a cellphone, it is indeed even. Zhang Yansheng leaned over to get Liang Zheng¡¯s old cellphone. She didn¡¯t move fast, but Liang Zheng had been taught by her just now and already knew how good she was. He only stiffly shouted ¡°What are you doing?¡±, but he didn¡¯t dare to grab her. He could only watch Zhang Yansheng take the old cellphone away. The old cellphone is badly broken, but maybe he can still export its data. However, Zhang Yansheng directly broke the phone in half with a vigorous force. Liang Zheng¡¯s eyes were about to protrude. Zhang Yansheng took out the sim card and threw it to him, and said coldly: ¡°This is my home, not a public place. No matter whether it is a room or a person, it is not right for you to take random photos. If you let me find you doing it again, don¡¯t wait for me to make a move, just get out of here!¡± Star eyes ÐÇÐÇÑÛ ¨C Star eyes refer to the character¡¯s eyesight due to a certain emotion. In order to increase the feeling, the eyes of the character are drawn as a five-pointed star or a four-pointed star (mostly four-pointed stars). Just like in anime or manga where the characters¡¯ eyes are turning into stars. ´ó¼¸Ç§ÄØ ¨C A few thousand big: 3000 to 8000, more than 8000 is called a small ten thousand. CH 40 Zhang Yansheng said to Zhang Heling, ¡°Everything is okay here now, go and swim.¡± Zhang Heling said ¡°Oh¡±, glanced at Liang Zheng, slapped her bath towel twice, and left. Zhang Yansheng looked at Liang Zheng as if he had nothing, then turned around and went upstairs. Liang Zheng was trembling with anger! Zhang Yansheng¡¯s contempt for him is to be considered as bare-naked, and she didn¡¯t hide it at all. But what about Liang Zheng, he is arrogant when others treat him politely; but when others look down on him obviously, he has low self-esteem. What¡¯s more, he couldn¡¯t beat Zhang Yansheng at all. He didn¡¯t even have the advantage of his natural height and physical strength! He was so angry that he was about to vomit blood. After thinking about it, he felt that he couldn¡¯t bear it so much, so he ran up to the third floor to knock on Liang Yingying¡¯s door. Liang Yingying woke up from the noise and was very annoyed: ¡°What time is it?! What are you going crazy about?! It¡¯s not time to see the house yet!¡± ¡°Auntie! Zhang Yansheng is too much!¡± Liang Zheng said angrily, ¡°She smashed my cellphone! I don¡¯t have a cellphone now, what house are we going to look at?!¡± Liang Yingying was originally yawning, but when she heard Zhang Yansheng¡¯s name, she suddenly woke up and asked, ¡°What happened to Zhang Yansheng?¡± Liang Zheng complained: ¡°That silly little girl is absolutely undisciplined and out of control. She threw my cellphone into the swimming pool and I managed to retrieve it. But then, she f*cking snatched it and broke it directly on the ground! I told her to pay for it, and she¡¯s good, as she immediately took out a brand new one! She just gave me a new cellphone! I put up with it! But she! She f*cking smashed the new cellphone too! Saying that both of us lose a phone, then it¡¯s even! That¡¯s being rich, right? It¡¯s amazing to become wealthy! Can she just insult people by having money? That motherf*cker!¡± But Liang Yingying is not stupid. She asked first: ¡°Why did she smash your cellphone? What did you do?¡± Aye, she knows her nephew pretty well. She also knows Zhang Yansheng well. Although that girl is annoying, she is really not the type of person who will take the initiative to cause trouble first. Liang Zheng choked and said angrily: ¡°No matter what the reason, it is wrong to destroy other people¡¯s property!¡± As soon as Liang Yingying heard Liang Zheng¡¯s tone of avoiding gravity, she knew that he must have done something to provoke Zhang Yansheng first. Liang Yingying asked a few questions, but Liang Zheng only hesitated not to make it clear. Liang Yingying understood that Liang Zheng must be at a loss. She originally thought that if Zhang Yansheng was unreasonable, she could complain to Zhang Huan. Anyway, Zhang Yansheng was their public enemy. But now, listening to Liang Zheng¡¯s tone, she doesn¡¯t know which side will suffer if she really goes to complain. She said irritably, ¡°You better behave properly for me, don¡¯t provoke her all the time. No matter what happened, she is your uncle¡¯s daughter and much closer to him. If something bad really happened, do you think that your uncle will turn to your side or hers?¡± Fools also need to know that the daughters have more affection than the nephews. Liang Zheng was depressed, not wanting to face this fact. ¡°D*mn it, that excess baggage!¡± He scolded. Liang Yingying felt deeply sorry in her heart. ¡°Okay, okay, I¡¯ll give you a cellphone. I also have a spare one.¡± Liang Zheng hadn¡¯t had time to be comforted by the ¡®new cellphone¡¯, because she said something that made Liang Zheng even more depressed: ¡°Let¡¯s go see the house quickly, sign it today, so you can move tomorrow while it¡¯s Sunday.¡± Driving the 3-million-yuan worth Ferrari, she took Liang Zheng to see the house. When the agent saw the car, his eyes straightened, and he was amazed again and again. Looking at Liang Yingying¡¯s clothes, bags and jewelry, he knew that she was a rich woman, and so he praised her with piles of compliments. But looking at Liang Zheng, his eyes were very playful. The Liang family are all tall and good-looking. Although Liang Zheng was a pervert, he is also very good looking. And at first glance, he was a little younger than Liang Yingying. Liang Zheng didn¡¯t understand the meaning of the agent¡¯s gaze at first, but later found that after he called her ¡°Auntie¡±, the agent¡¯s gaze became different, so he suddenly reacted! What the hell¡­ did this agent just think that he was a gigolo who approaches wealthy women? Bah! Liang Yingying had already rolled around in society and suffered before she met Zhang Huan. She looked at the house that the agent showed her, and she thought it was okay. Anyway, it was better than the basement where she lived back then. However, Liang Zheng was not happy. After coming out of the swimming pool in the mansion, he entered this old and broken-down house, with one bedroom and one living room, and has a lot area of less than 40 square meters, and it may not be as big as his cousin¡¯s bedroom. It is strange that he can be happy. When the agent asked for an opinion, he hummed, but he didn¡¯t give a clear answer anyway. How many people the agent sees in a day makes it clear that he doesn¡¯t like this house. He turned his eyes around the two of them, and realized that it was the young aunt who really paid the money. ¡°Otherwise, do you want me to find you two more houses with better conditions?¡± The agent rubbed his hands and said, ¡°This kind of old house is usually rented by young people who come to K City to work hard. The conditions are definitely not that high.¡± Liang Zheng, a customer who came here in a Ferrari, obviously does not belong to the target customer group of this house. This statement won Liang Zheng¡¯s heart. He squinted at Liang Yingying with his eyes, and talked coquettishly: ¡°Auntie¡­¡± Liang Yingying rubbed the goose bumps on her arm, and said angrily: ¡°Just choose one of these three houses. If you don¡¯t pick one and push it back, you can find a house by yourself in the future, and I won¡¯t pay you the rent.¡± Liang Zheng was frustrated. In the end, he chose a set of interior decoration that was better maintained, and signed a contract with the agent dejectedly. On the way back, Liang Yingying couldn¡¯t stand Liang Zheng¡¯s stinky face and scolded him: ¡°Don¡¯t give me that face. It¡¯s like you just lost your mother. The rent has been paid for you, what else do you want?!¡± Liang Zheng said angrily: ¡°Why can¡¯t a family live together?¡± Liang Yingying was also speechless, and said, ¡°Whose family are you with?¡± Liang Zheng said, ¡°We are both surnamed Liang.¡± Liang Yingying said, ¡°Nonsense! I am married, and I am now Mrs. Zhang. The Zhang family and you are not a family. Go back and pack your things quickly!¡± Liang Zheng didn¡¯t want to pack his things when he returned to Zhang¡¯s mansion, and he was bored to death. Holding the new cellphone that Liang Yingying gave him, he laid on the bed and complained to a few buddies of his: ¡°My aunt¡¯s house is fine, but the late wife¡¯s daughter is really annoying.¡± His friend asked, ¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡± Liang Zheng couldn¡¯t speak anymore. He can¡¯t tell his friends that Zhang Yansheng had influenced her rich father to throw him outside to live, right? He doesn¡¯t want to say that today he took a sneak shot of someone else¡¯s little girl and was discovered. As a result, not only was his cellphone was broken, but his physical strength was completely crushed, and that person also took out a newer and better cellphone on the spot and smashed it just to show him. He can only say: ¡°Anyway, she¡¯s annoying! It¡¯s not my aunt who gave birth to her, she has all kinds of eccentric temperament. I want to beat her when I look at her. It¡¯s just that she is a girl, hmph!¡± People who can be called friends must have shared the same vile habits; and friends of perverted men, needless to say, they must also be perverts. His friend immediately said, ¡°Are you still unable to deal with the little girl? You are not that too weak, right? Don¡¯t you live together? Take a few photos of her changing clothes, photos of the bottom of her skirt, and post them online! Go and infuriate her!¡± ¡°It¡¯s too bad, we are all relatives anyway¡­¡± Liang Zheng didn¡¯t look at this relative. He just felt that Zhang Yansheng was not easy to mess with. Her father was still so rich. In case of an incident¡­ he was afraid that it would not be easy to clean up. Zhang Huan went out all morning, and when he returned home in the afternoon, he saw the aunts watching by the pool. His two little babies were having fun in the water. He smiled and went upstairs. He didn¡¯t expect Liang Yingying to be at home. He was a little surprised: ¡°You didn¡¯t go out to play?¡± ¡°It¡¯s not like I go out to play all day.¡± Liang Yingying was coquettish, ¡°I went to see the house with Xiao Zheng today, found him a one-bedroom apartment, and signed the contract. He will move over tomorrow. Do you think my work efficiency is high?¡± It is a very comfortable thing for a man to have an obedient wife. Zhang Huan praised her on the spot: ¡°Not bad!¡± Liang Yingying watched him take off his clothes and asked, ¡°What are you doing?¡± Zhang Huan said in a good mood: ¡°I¡¯ll go down and play with the children for a while.¡± Liang Yingying also knew that her two children were playing in the swimming pool below. She saw that Zhang Huan had taken off his top and was taking off his pants. She turned her eyes, went over and hugged his waist, and whispered, ¡°Other people want to play too~¡± Zhang Huan understood. The two rolled into the sheets. When Zhang Huan went downstairs with a contented expression, the two younger ones had already come out of the swimming pool. An aunt helped Zhang Shuocheng take a bath. He washed quickly and was already eating ice cream downstairs. Zhang Huan sat over and touched his son¡¯s head with a smile. An aunt served him a fruit plate, and he talked to Zhang Shuocheng while eating: ¡°Where is your sister?¡± ¡°She¡¯s upstairs.¡± After speaking, Zhang Heling, who also took a shower, just came down. The little girl took a bath by herself and blow-dried her hair. Her long hair was jet black and supple, her face was soft, pink from the heat, and her eyes were jet black and bright. Zhang Huan¡¯s heart was about to melt when he looked at her. ¡°Come here.¡± He beckoned. Zhang Heling saw Zhang Huan and went over to him: ¡°Dad, you are back.¡± The look of surprise when she sees his father come home makes people¡¯s hearts feel even softer. Zhang Huan smiled and asked, ¡°What did you do today?¡± Zhang Heling didn¡¯t answer, but went over and hugged Zhang Huan¡¯s arm directly: ¡°Dad, let me tell you something!¡± As she said it, she also pulled Zhang Huan, obviously she didn¡¯t want to say it in front of Zhang Shuocheng and the aunt. This little filial girl wants to whisper to him! Zhang Huan happily followed Zhang Heling to the small hall. ¡°What¡¯s the matter, so mysterious? Let¡¯s talk about it.¡± He said with a smile. Zhang Heling whispered to him: ¡°This morning, my sister threw my cousin¡¯s cellphone into the swimming pool!¡± Zhang Huan: ¡°¡­¡± Zhang Heling continued: ¡°Then my cousin jumped down and picked it up, but my sister threw it across the swimming pool again. It broke! My cousin was very angry and asked my sister to pay him immediately. My sister took out her spare cellphone and showed it to him. My cousin said that she could pay him using that new cellphone. As a result, my sister smashed that one too, saying that they were even.¡± ¡°¡­¡± Zhang Huan pulled out his ears and asked, ¡°Why did your sister do that?¡± ¡°I don¡¯t know either.¡± The little girl expressed confusion, ¡°It seems that it¡¯s because my cousin was taking pictures everywhere. When I came down, my sister was swimming. I said a few words to my cousin. And when my sister came up, she asked my cousin for his cellphone. Since my cousin didn¡¯t give it, my sister just threw it into the pool for him.¡± Zhang Huan didn¡¯t know that Liang Zheng also took pictures of Zhang Yansheng. He just thought that Liang Zheng was annoying Zhang Yansheng by taking pictures everywhere in the house. He was also very tired of Liang Zheng filming everywhere. Maybe he has to show it to many people. After all, this is his own home, a private place, and Zhang Huan is not willing to be peeped into his privacy by others. Zhang Huan was quite happy when the eldest daughter taught the kid a lesson. ¡°That¡¯s fine, if you don¡¯t like it, you should just act on it.¡± Zhang Huan said, ¡°The people in our family can¡¯t bear to swallow their breath.¡± Zhang Heling seemed to understand and said, ¡°They almost got into a fight as well.¡± ¡°Eh?¡± ¡°My cousin tried to grab my sister¡¯s shoulder from the back, but my sister stretched her foot and tripped him, so my cousin fell to the ground. Before he got up, my sister twisted his arm and pressed him to the ground, and he couldn¡¯t get up. After my elder sister let him go, he definitely felt that he couldn¡¯t beat my elder sister, so he didn¡¯t dare to do it again.¡± The little girl¡¯s eyes sparkled, ¡°Dad, my sister is super amazing!¡± Zhang Huan is an elder, so he can¡¯t do anything even if Liang Zheng is not pleasing to the eye, otherwise he would look petty. At this moment, he imagined the scene where his eldest daughter taught Liang Zheng a lesson. She did things that were inconvenient for him, and the eldest daughter did it, which was a bit dark and refreshing! Looking at the little daughter again, she is cute, but it seems that her personality is a bit soft. Zhang Huan rubbed his chin and asked, ¡°Hehe, do you want to learn sanda or something like your sister?¡± CH 41 Zhang Heling ran upstairs again and knocked on Zhang Yansheng¡¯s door: ¡°Sister, sister!¡± Zhang Yansheng opened the door to let her in: ¡°What¡¯s up?¡± ¡°Wow, sister, are you still studying?¡± Zhang Heling was shocked when she saw the exercise workbooks Zhang Yansheng was brushing up on the desk. It¡¯s summer vacation now! However, in this family, Zhang Heling is actually the current true schoolmaster. Zhang Yansheng was a little embarrassed, and closed the exercise book in front of her: ¡°Do you have something to say?¡± ¡°Oh!¡± Zhang Heling came back to her senses, remembering that she was here to tell Zhang Yansheng the good news, ¡°Dad told me just now that my cousin will move out tomorrow!¡± This is really good news. Zhang Yansheng was in a better mood, and asked again, ¡°Why did Dad tell you this?¡± There must be a reason why Zhang Huan would suddenly tell a child about this. Sure enough, Zhang Heling said very honestly: ¡°As soon as I told him that you threw away my cousin¡¯s cellphone in the morning, Dad mentioned it.¡± Zhang Yansheng: ¡°¡­¡± Zhang Yansheng poked Zhang Heling¡¯s forehead: ¡°Your mouth is really quick!¡± She thought for a while and went downstairs. The cooking aunt in the kitchen has already started preparing for dinner. Zhang Yansheng carried the ice cream in, ¡°Aunt.¡± ¡°The person surnamed Liang will move out tomorrow.¡± She told the aunt. The aunt stretched out her neck to take a look and when she couldn¡¯t see Liang Yingying, she boldly said: ¡°Finally, he¡¯s leaving.¡± This young master Liang, who lives in Zhang¡¯s house, has a great deal of arrogance. The attitude towards them, the staff hired by the Zhang family, is very bad, and he always tries to get them to work. The aunts are very reluctant to see him. Even Xiao Zhou, the driver, had complained about him with the aunts. Zhang Yansheng said, ¡°I¡¯m just here to remind you.¡± Aunt: ¡°?¡± Zhang Yansheng smiled slightly: ¡°If he wants to move away, then just leave, but don¡¯t take our family¡¯s things away.¡± She stared at the aunt. The aunt also stared at her brightly. This aunt understands! At the dining table, Zhang Heling, the little girl, couldn¡¯t help but ask Liang Zheng, ¡°Cousin, are you moving out tomorrow?¡± Liang Zheng was taught by Liang Yingying, so he swallowed his anger and didn¡¯t dare to put up a face in front of Zhang Huan, and said listlessly, ¡°Yes.¡± He glanced at her and saw that the little girl was in good spirits. He paused, glanced at Zhang Huan again, and said to Zhang Heling, ¡°If we don¡¯t live together in the future, we won¡¯t be able to see each other every day. Hehe, don¡¯t you want to miss this cousin?¡± Hurry up, quickly save your brother! ¡°I don¡¯t want to.¡± Zhang Heling said very sincerely, ¡°I¡¯m used to seeing you only once in a year or two.¡± Zhang Huan looked away. Zhang Yansheng also almost broke her feat. Her younger sister is very honest! Liang Yingying glared at Zhang Heling: ¡°If you can¡¯t speak properly, then talk less!¡± No one has said anything about him staying, so Liang Zheng was depressed after the meal. Unexpectedly, something even more depressing came after dinner, and an aunt knocked on his door. ¡°Mr. Liang is moving away, right?¡± The aunt said with a smile, ¡°Please return the car key to me. There is no car for us to use these days, so it is inconvenient to buy groceries.¡± A good BMW car is for the aunts to drive. Although they are busy during the summer vacation, but when the children start school again, Xiao Zhou will send them to school in the morning. The husband will go to the company very early, and then they¡¯ll wait for the wife to go out after having breakfast. In the next hours, the aunts are very free! As long as the housework is arranged, and the aunts are in the mood before the children come back from school, they can drive the BMW to the supermarket! How beautiful! When this young master named Liang came, he took over the BMW car used by the aunts. The aunts had been bothered by him a long time ago. It¡¯s just that the car is the Zhang family¡¯s car, not the aunts¡¯ car. The employer didn¡¯t speak, and the aunts couldn¡¯t speak even if they had any thoughts in their hearts. However, Zhang Yansheng is different. Although she is younger, she is their employer! She came over and reminded the aunt clearly in the afternoon, and this aunt understood. Looking at it from the aunt¡¯s perspective, let alone Zhang Yansheng¡¯s obvious dislike of seeing Liang Zheng, even Zhang Huan, the eldest member of this family, definitely did not like to see him as well. Otherwise, why did he have to move out after only living for a week? It¡¯s not that the Zhang family hasn¡¯t hosted their relatives, nor that they haven¡¯t lived with relatives for a month. She just hasn¡¯t seen Zhang Huan drive people away. Not only did he not rush it, he was quite enthusiastic about it too. No one in the family has enmity with the staff. As for how this young master Liang got here, everyone hated it. With a smile on her face, the aunt stretched out her hand to Liang Zheng. Liang Zheng¡¯s complexion looked ugly. Although he knew that this BMW car belonged to the Zhang family, he had to return it to the Zhang family sooner or later. But he actually secretly planned in his heart that as long as the Zhang family did not ask for it, he would not take the initiative to return it back. Zhang Huan is not shameless anyway, and he won¡¯t care about these trivial matters. It¡¯s just a car for aunts, so there is a high probability that he will just turn a blind eye and let is pass. Not to mention, Liang Zheng guessed really well. Zhang Huan really didn¡¯t plan to care about a small broken car. Unfortunately, Liang Zheng offended Zhang Yansheng this morning. Zhang Yansheng had no intention of paying attention to him at all, but he ran into her and took pictures of her secretly. Zhang Yansheng is not a saint and there is no need for her to pay attention and give face to Zhang Huan. What is Zhang Yansheng afraid of? The last thing she¡¯ll be afraid of is ripping off the face of someone surnamed Liang. She is not even afraid of Liang Yingying, so how could she be afraid of Liang Zheng? Besides, that is her car. Liang Zheng was urged by this aunt to return the car upfront. In front of these ¡®outsiders¡¯, he also had to give a face, so he could only bitterly pick up the key and return it to this aunt. It was just that when the aunt smiled after accepting the key and was about to leave, Liang Zheng suddenly shouted to the aunt and asked: ¡°Who asked you to come to me for the key?¡± Of course, the aunt would not take this to herself. What kind of hatred does she have with her employer¡¯s relatives? Since Zhang Yansheng told her about this, she brought up Zhang Yansheng¡¯s name: ¡°It¡¯s Miss Yanyan.¡± It¡¯s Zhang Yansheng again! The excess baggage! Liang Zheng slammed the door angrily. The aunt curled her lips in the hallway, clutching the BMW car key and went downstairs happily. Liang Zheng was angry all night and waited until his aunt Liang Yingying got up the next morning before dragging the suitcase down. Zhang Huan smiled and said, ¡°Let the driver send you off.¡± Liang Zheng didn¡¯t want to be polite at all, so he just said, ¡°Okay.¡± Liang Yingying called two small ones to come and ¡°send their brother Xiao Zheng¡±, and after shouting twice, she only called Zhang Heling. This girl is well-behaved and polite, and knows how to send the guest off. As for Zhang Shuocheng, what kind of sh*t is Liang Zheng¡¯s departure? How can you interrupt him while playing games?! Today is Sunday and his eldest sister, Zhang Yansheng, was merciful and allowed him not to study on Sunday morning! ¡°Seriously, nothing can stop him from playing games.¡± Liang Yingying was not surprised and said with a smile, ¡°Forget it, he is still young.¡± That little brat! Both of them go to school! But he has no courtesy at all! Liang Zheng, who felt that he had been ignored, cursed secretly in his heart: Dogs are better than naughty children! After saying goodbye to his aunt and uncle, and then looking up at the dream-like mansion, young master Liang got into the Zhang family¡¯s car sadly and was sent to the old dilapidated community that his aunt paid for him to rent. Xiao Zhou glanced at the place, and Mr. Liang had a suitcase and a backpack. The building also has an elevator. Xiao Zhou said: ¡°Then Mr. Liang, I¡¯m going back.¡± Liang Zheng watched sadly and angrily as the big luxury car abandoned him and left him in this dilapidated community. After dragging the suitcase and turning around, a bunch of old men and old ladies took advantage of the shade in the shadows, fanning big palm fans, looking at him like monkeys. It was like falling from heaven into the muddy world. Sorrowful! The agent he met yesterday was also sitting in the shadow of the building, chatting with the elderlies. When he saw a luxury car coming, he thought it might be his client. When Liang Zheng got out of the car, he saw that it was really him. He is in charge of several small communities nearby. They are all old and broken-down houses, and he has seen many customers who called halfway to ask him which stop to get off the bus. This kind of customer, who has come in a luxury car twice, is really the first time he has seen it. ¡°Mr. Liang!¡± He waved his palm fan, stood up and walked two steps, then stepped back to return the fan to a grandmother, and then greeted him, ¡°You are here, come on, let¡¯s go upstairs.¡± He took Liang Zheng upstairs, confirmed the water and electricity meter with Liang Zheng in front of him, and said, ¡°The basic daily necessities such as bedding and pillows are ready for you. Can you see if they will work?¡± After signing the contract yesterday, Liang Zheng still wanted Liang Yingying to accompany him to buy these basic supplies. Liang Yingying delayed a day for him and didn¡¯t go out to play. How could she have that American time to accompany him to do these things? She doesn¡¯t even have time to spend with her own son, so how can she still spend time with her nephew? That¡¯s a joke! Liang Yingying was rich and threw a few thousand dollars to the agent: ¡°Do me a favor and buy everything for him. Tell me if the money is not enough, and if there¡¯s more left, then consider it as your tip.¡± The agent happily accepted the job. Although the madam looked very wealthy, he also saw that the tenant himself was not a wealthy person. Yesterday, he ran to the nearby big supermarket and purchased everything in one stop. The quality of the goods in the supermarket is the same, and the price is the same, and it¡¯s¡­ passable. Liang Zheng wanted to ask the agent how much money he spent in the end, and how much money was left behind, but he couldn¡¯t open his mouth. He can only watch the agent leave happily. He was the only one left in the dilapidated house, and so he went around¡­ How can those supermarket goods compare with the exquisiteness of Zhang¡¯s family? What a f*cking loss! Liang Zheng put down the suitcase and laid down on the bed covered with a brand-new sheet! The old spring mattress made a loud squeak. The ceiling has cracks. The more Liang Zheng looked at it, the more desolate he became; and the more he thought about it, the angrier he became. Thinking about it, it¡¯s all because of that girl Zhang Yansheng! At this moment, the new hatred and old hatred that had been saved for a week poured into his heart together! Liang Zheng¡¯s evil rose from his heart, he sat up, took out his laptop and turned it on, and then found that¡­ there was no Wi-Fi. D*mn it! It¡¯s okay, there is still a cellphone! He used the cellphone¡¯s mobile data to search online, made a lot of comparisons, and went to forums for help. In the end, he spent money to buy a set of high-definition remote wireless micro surveillance camera. Young girl porn videos! This brother will clean you up! Hmph! I¡¯ll let you know what it means to be beaten up by society! CH 42 Liang Yingying got up on Monday morning and found that the house was very quiet. When she went downstairs, she couldn¡¯t see anyone. Liang Yingying asked an aunt strangely: ¡°Where are the children?¡± The aunt covered her mouth and smiled: ¡°They¡¯re all in the basement. Their mighty machine is here and is being installed. Hehe and Shuoshuo were so excited.¡± Oh, it¡¯s the VR room that Zhang Yansheng told them. Because of her blindly making a scene, Zhang Huan gave her the collection room. The two little ones also followed with excitement. Liang Yingying curled her lips. While eating her breakfast, she thought to herself that Zhang Yansheng had changed a lot recently since she made a bad move and strangled her neck last time. She didn¡¯t quarrel with her much, but got along with the two younger ones a lot instead. Liang Yingying sneered. Didn¡¯t Zhang Yansheng never treat the two children she gave birth to as her siblings? How come she finally recognizes the reality now? Did she admit defeat? Not to mention, even though Zhang Yansheng beat Zhang Shuocheng twice, Zhang Shuocheng was able to do his homework on time every day. For that matter, Zhang Huan was very happy ¡ª this is the son she gave birth to who can please his dad, Liang Yingying is naturally happy to see it. Liang Yingying suddenly felt that this was also very good, and she was quite relieved. So, I¡¯ll just let Zhang Yansheng be the nanny and mother of my children, hahaha. Liang Yingying felt refreshed for a while, then put on makeup and went out beautifully. It¡¯s just that Liang Yingying never thought that both rights and obligations are associated. If you give up your obligations, you will also lose your rights. As soon as Zhang Huan got home in the evening, the two kids rushed over to surround him: ¡°Dad, Dad, Dad, let¡¯s go and see! They are all installed!¡± Zhang Huan wasn¡¯t even able to change his clothes, as he was forcibly dragged to the basement by the two younger ones. He really couldn¡¯t laugh or cry. He went in to take a look and found the machines with large screens and surround sound, a machine for riding a motorcycle, a machine for driving a car, a machine for simulating a roller coaster, and a machine that he doesn¡¯t know what it is for¡­ are all installed. Zhang Yansheng was wearing a helmet there, holding a game controller in her hand. On the big screen, what she held in her hand turned into a laser sword, and she wielded the laser sword, slashing the monsters that were surging from all sides. ¡°Look, Dad!¡± Zhang Heling pulled Zhang Huan and whispered, ¡°Sister is so cool!¡± Zhang Huan took a closer look. Because Zhang Yansheng is a person who has trained a lot, her movements are different from ordinary people¡¯s blind chopping. She has a sense of rhythm and strength in her movements and is very powerful. In short, it is called a sense of beauty. It just looks good! Gorgeous! Pleasing to the eye! Even Zhang Shuocheng held his small fist on one side, staring at Zhang Yansheng¡¯s movements and imitating them. Soon Zhang Yansheng ended the game and won a big victory, and her score reached a new high. Of course, with the new machines, the leaderboards are all new. A whole row is full of Zhang Yansheng¡¯s name. Zhang Yansheng took off her headset, turned her head and saw Zhang Huan standing there holding Zhang Heling. She supported her chin and said, ¡°You¡¯re back.¡± That side face is a bit like his deceased wife, and the faint gaze and tone are even more similar. Zhang Huan suddenly felt sore in his chest. Obviously, she used to be his most intimate little daughter, so why did she become so cold and estranged? The old man suppressed his sadness and said with a smile: ¡°Are they all installed? It looks fun. How do you play this?¡± ¡°Dad! I¡¯ll give you this! This big gun!¡± Zhang Shuocheng excitedly held a boss¡¯ gun and stuffed it to Zhang Huan, ¡°You play with it, this is great!¡± Zhang Huan also became interested: ¡°Okay! Dad will try! Yanyan, how do you play this?¡± Zhang Yansheng put on her headset again: ¡°Hehe, wear a headset for Dad. Zhang Shuocheng, tell Dad how to use that gun.¡± Zhang Huan keenly discovered that when Zhang Yansheng gave an order, the two little ones did not hesitate to execute her order. The eldest daughter, who used to be noisy and often hysterical, has an eldest sister demeanor now. If she says something, her younger brother and sister will listen. Zhang Huan bent down and put on his headset with the help of Zhang Heling. Although the little daughter was young, she was gentle and patient, carefully helping him adjust the tightness of the buckle, lest she pinch the flesh on her father¡¯s face. His son, Zhang Shuocheng, had become jumpier, scratching his ears and head anxiously. As soon as he held the gun, he quickly teaches his dad: ¡°In this way, it means shooting; and in this way, it means reloading¡­¡± He complained again: ¡°This gun is too heavy!¡± Boys like shooting games. Zhang Shuocheng wanted to play the big gun, but the big gun is for adults to play, as it¡¯s too heavy! He can only use a small controller to play with guns, because he can¡¯t properly hold the big gun. Zhang Huan buckled his headset, took the gun, and started the game with Zhang Yansheng. Humanity is that men are still teenagers until their death, and there are almost no men who don¡¯t like shooting games. Zhang Huan hadn¡¯t played it for decades, but as soon as he played it, especially with this kind of VR technology, he actually had a lot of fun. It¡¯s just that his marksmanship is much worse than that of his daughter. At the end of the game, Zhang Yansheng¡¯s score was twice as high as his. However, Zhang Huan had a great time, especially when the youngest daughter and the youngest son were still yelling cheerfully and jumping around. This warm and joyful atmosphere is really nice. Zhang Shuocheng jumped and shouted: ¡°I also want to play a double game! I want to play too!¡± Zhang Huan said, ¡°Okay, okay, Dad will play with you.¡± The two-player shooting game that Zhang Shuocheng can play is much naiver and cartoon-like. Zhang Yansheng took off her headset and said, ¡°You guys play, I¡¯ll go up first.¡± She handed the headset to Zhang Heling: ¡°Look at him, don¡¯t let him press the menu randomly, it¡¯s easy to crash.¡± Zhang Heling said in full breath: ¡°Okay!¡± Zhang Huan was still coaxing Zhang Shuocheng here, so when he turned his head, the eldest daughter had already left. Zhang Huan suddenly felt lonely. The time spent playing with his eldest daughter like this is very far away in his memory. Looking at his little daughter again, she came over to help his son wear a headset, and told him not to press the menu randomly. Unconsciously, his youngest daughter has grown up too, looking like an older sister. And his son actually agreed. This attitude is also very different from before. When did Zhang Shuocheng listen to Zhang Heling¡¯s words in the past? Zhang Huan was a little surprised and said, ¡°Shuoshuo listens to his sister very much, right?¡± Zhang Shuocheng: ¡°Hmm!¡± Zhang Heling raised her head: ¡°If he dares not to listen, I will tell my elder sister! My sister will beat him up! Holding a ferule to make him cry!¡± Zhang Shuocheng: ¡°Stop!¡± Zhang Huan was very happy. After laughing, he seemed to look pensive. Zhang Shuocheng was already impatient: ¡°Hurry up, Dad!¡± ¡°Okay, okay.¡± Zhang Huan also buckled his headset and grasped the game controller. After fighting with the eldest daughter for a game and playing with the youngest son, Zhang Huan had fun and said to Zhang Heling, ¡°You play with your younger brother.¡± Zhang Heling quickly adjusted a single-player game for Zhang Shuocheng, and then chased after him: ¡°Dad, Dad!¡± ¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡± Zhang Huan turned his head and stopped. He saw that Zhang Heling was a little bit hesitant. But after hesitating, the little girl who had never dared to ask her father, plucked up her courage to ask, ¡°Well, on Thursday¡­ are you going?¡± Zhang Huan suddenly realized and smiled. Because today is Monday, as usual, the secretary reported his arrangements for the week to him early in the morning. This Thursday is August 2nd, the birthday of his little daughter. Previously, his eldest daughter specifically called the secretary and asked the secretary to add the matter of going to the amusement park to his schedule. So, when Zhang Heling mentioned it, Zhang Huan understood. Zhang Huan pinched her nose, smiled and said, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, Dad has already arranged it in the schedule, so of course I will go.¡± Seeing the little daughter¡¯s eyes brightened with joy and her shoulders relaxed, Zhang Huan¡¯s heart moved. He knelt down and asked her: ¡°Then do you want to go with your sister or your mother?¡± Zhang Heling was surprised and asked, ¡°Can¡¯t the whole family go together?¡± Zhang Huan said helplessly: ¡°Don¡¯t you know your sister¡¯s temper? She said that she won¡¯t show up at the same time as your mother.¡± Zhang Heling said without hesitation: ¡°I want to be with my sister!¡± Zhang Huan was curious: ¡°Why don¡¯t you choose your mother?¡± Zhang Heling said naturally: ¡°Because my mother doesn¡¯t want to take me there, she only wants to take Shuoshuo with her.¡± Zhang Huan: ¡°¡­¡± This child is different from Zhang Yansheng and Zhang Shuocheng. Zhang Yansheng was the only little princess in the family at least until her mother¡¯s death, and she was the real eldest lady. Zhang Shuocheng has also been favored from birth because of his gender. Only the little kid in the middle is different. She was raised outside before the age of four, and Zhang Huan actually only saw her in a week or two. His time was also given to her mother and brother, and he ignored her very much. Later on, even when they came into this house, the child rarely asked him for any help. Zhang Huan looked at his youngest daughter and really felt that he cared a little less about this child. She hesitated before she spoke just now. If it¡¯s Zhang Shuocheng, he would never hesitate and would not use the tone of inquiry at all. He would directly say ¡°I want¡­¡± in a sentence, or even ¡°I must have¡­¡± in a stronger sentence. Zhang Huan couldn¡¯t help but soften his heart, and generously promised: ¡°Okay, then we will go with your sister and not take your mother!¡± After speaking, he saw his little daughter¡¯s eyes light up again. However, she hesitated again: ¡°But if my sister sees my mother¡­¡± Zhang Huan sneered and asked her, ¡°Can your mother get up so early?¡± Not only could she not get up, and although she said to Zhang Shuocheng, ¡°Go, go, go, you can go¡± as well, there is a high probability that she has already forgotten about it. Zhang Huan still knows his little wife quite well. Zhang Heling immediately understood when she heard this. Zhang Huan lowered his voice and said to her again: ¡°Don¡¯t mention it to Shuoshuo. He has probably forgotten it, so don¡¯t remind him, otherwise he would remind your mother too. If your mother gets up early, your sister will definitely not go.¡± ¡°Okay!¡± Zhang Heling immediately promised. She couldn¡¯t help covering her mouth with both hands and smiled, her eyes were curved, like a crescent moon. Zhang Yansheng was flipping through books in her room, when someone knocked on the door: ¡°Yanyan, it¡¯s Dad.¡± Zhang Yansheng was surprised and went over to open the door: ¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡± Zhang Huan didn¡¯t go in, so he leaned directly at the door and smiled: ¡°I just want to remind you that this coming Thursday is August 2nd, so don¡¯t forget.¡± Zhang Yansheng didn¡¯t forget about it, and she also made a note on her phone. She crossed her arms: ¡°Like I said, I won¡¯t go¡­¡± ¡°I know, I know.¡± Zhang Huan said, ¡°Look, she must have forgotten about it a long time ago. She can¡¯t get up so early, so we¡¯ll just go and leave her, OK?¡± O with a few words K.1 Zhang Yansheng wanted to roll her eyes. But thinking about Zhang Heling¡¯s expectant eyes and aggrieved expression, Zhang Yansheng endured it. In this scorching summer, with Liang Yingying¡¯s delicateness, to let her go under the sun, it¡¯s inevitable for her to complain incessantly. She may also complain about Zhang Heling. Yes, Liang Yingying can really do such a depressing thing on a good day. She didn¡¯t care about Zhang Heling¡¯s feelings at all. It¡¯s better to just go by themselves. ¡°Okay.¡± Zhang Yansheng agreed bluntly. So, on Thursday, Liang Yingying went downstairs yawning and found that the house was exceptionally quiet. She sat at the dining table and asked casually, ¡°Where are they?¡± The aunt replied with a smile, ¡°They all have gone to the amusement park.¡± Liang Yingying: ¡°???¡± CH 43 Zhang Heling felt that she had never experienced such a happy day. During the summer vacation, the amusement park opens at seven in the morning, and they arrived just on the time of its opening. As soon as they entered, Zhang Shuocheng wanted to drag Zhang Huan to the children¡¯s area. Who told him to be young and not tall enough? Zhang Heling can play many things, but he is limited in height and cannot play. As a result, their eldest sister Zhang Yansheng stretched out a hand and clasped Zhang Shuocheng¡¯s head like a bird¡¯s claw to hold him back. ¡°Today is your sister¡¯s birthday, so your sister is the lead.¡± She said, ¡°Today we are all here to accompany your sister, not to accompany you. We need to follow your sister first, and talk about your demands later.¡± His eldest sister¡¯s hands are like pliers, Zhang Shuocheng felt that his skull was being caught with five blood holes every minute, and Liang Yingying did not follow today. He was discouraged and said unwillingly, ¡°Okay, then.¡± Aunt Wang covered her mouth with joy. Seeing the eldest daughter taking care of the youngest son, Zhang Huan honestly felt relieved. He touched his little daughter¡¯s head and asked with a smile, ¡°Which one does Hehe want to play with?¡± Zhang Heling¡¯s face lightened up with joy: ¡°Roller coaster!¡± ¡°Oho!¡± Zhang Huan laughed, ¡°You came up with the most exciting one already?¡± Having said that, the group of people still headed towards the roller coaster. In this amusement park, you have to buy a ticket for each person, so you don¡¯t need to buy any more tickets for the rides when you come inside. But for each amusement ride, you still have to line up; and the more popular the ride is, the longer the queue. This roller coaster is said to be the most extreme ride in the city. Since they entered the park early in the morning, there were not so many people yet, so they got on the roller coaster smoothly. The poor Zhang Shuocheng was too young to ride on it, so he was led by Aunt Wang to stand below, watching his father and two sisters having fun. When Zhang Huan came down from above clutching his heart, he kept chanting: ¡°It¡¯s too extreme, it¡¯s too extreme, it¡¯s not good, I can¡¯t stand it.¡± Zhang Heling kept grinning happily, and even Zhang Yansheng couldn¡¯t help but pull the corners of her mouth. Zhang Shuocheng jumped and said, ¡°It¡¯s my turn! It¡¯s my turn!¡± Zhang Yansheng saw that Zhang Huan was about to speak, and immediately said, ¡°Today is your sister¡¯s birthday and father wants to accompany your sister. Let¡¯s go, I will take you to play instead.¡± As she said this, she stretched out her hand to Zhang Shuocheng. Her hand hurts tremendously when it hits his butt! When it is put on top of his head, it looks like an eagle¡¯s claws! Zhang Shuocheng shrank for a moment, and under the threat on Zhang Yansheng¡¯s eyes, his scalp felt numb, so he handed out his little fleshy paw, which was firmly held in by Zhang Yansheng¡¯s hand. ¡°Aunt Wang and I will take him to the children¡¯s area, so you can take Hehe.¡± This sentence was said to Zhang Huan. After speaking, she patted Zhang Heling on the head, ¡°Have fun, happy birthday!¡± Zhang Heling raised her small face, her jet-black eyes gleaming with happiness in the sun. Zhang Yansheng grabbed Zhang Shuocheng and took Aunt Wang away. Zhang Huan and Zhang Heling glanced at each other, and both of them suddenly realized that this seemed to be the first time Zhang Huan had accompanied Zhang Heling alone since she was born. Realizing this, Zhang Huan was a little uncomfortable, smiled dryly, and touched Zhang Heling¡¯s head lovingly: ¡°Hehe, which one do you want to ride? Tell Dad and I will ask them to line up first. Today is Hehe¡¯s birthday, so we¡¯ll let you have enough fun!¡± He bought tickets for the two drivers in the family to come in, and asked them to help line up, which would save them a lot of time. Zhang Heling felt the most valued day in her life, and such a moment has never happened before. Zhang Heling¡¯s entire small face glowed. On the other side, Zhang Shuocheng was taken to the children¡¯s area by Zhang Yansheng. He didn¡¯t care if Liang Yingying was coming or not, but in his heart, he really didn¡¯t want to follow Zhang Yansheng. However, he couldn¡¯t resist, and he didn¡¯t dare to resist. There are far fewer people in the children¡¯s area. After all, the children¡¯s area is not the mainstream project of this amusement park. The ticket price of 300 yuan per person is too uneconomical for families with only one small child. It is better to play with the amusement facilities in ordinary parks. Zhang Shuocheng played as soon as he came over, basically there was no queue. When he finished playing, Aunt Wang had already lined up elsewhere. His eldest sister Zhang Yansheng was holding a cone of ice cream in her hand. Of course, Zhang Shuocheng wanted to eat it too, but Zhang Yansheng only had one in her hand. Since she began to discipline him by force, he no longer dared to wreak havoc in front of her. He glanced at the ice cream, turning his head left and right, trying to find Aunt Wang to buy him one too. Unexpectedly, Zhang Yansheng suddenly handed the ice cream to him: ¡°Eat it.¡± Zhang Shuocheng looked at her in surprise. Zhang Yansheng was impatient: ¡°You don¡¯t want to eat it? I¡¯ll eat it if you don¡¯t want it.¡± ¡°Eat, I¡¯ll eat it.¡± Zhang Shuocheng hurriedly took it over, and bit off the pointed tip first. Looking up at Zhang Yansheng again, there was always something¡­ weird in his eyes. In Zhang Shuocheng¡¯s mind, Zhang Yansheng is a great demon king. The great demon king bought him an ice cream, but why is he a little anxious to eat it? Getting along with Zhang Yansheng alone also makes people feel uneasy, and there is always a bit of fear. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, eat slowly.¡± The great demon king said, ¡°Aunt Wang is waiting in line over there. It will almost be our turn at the time you finish it. I will hold it for you if you can¡¯t finish it.¡± As she spoke, she held the back of Zhang Shuocheng¡¯s head and took him to another ride. Sure enough, he saw Aunt Wang queuing there, and Aunt Wang waved to them. Zhang Shuocheng breathed a sigh of relief, feeling more at ease. He also felt that it was nothing to be alone with the great demon king. As long as he doesn¡¯t toss around, she doesn¡¯t seem to beat him for no reason, right? She bought him ice cream and she was very nice. This is the case in the children¡¯s heart. If you allow them to stutter and take them to play, you will immediately become a ¡®good person¡¯. On the other hand, no matter how good you are to them, if you beat them up and refuse their unreasonable request, you will suddenly become a ¡®bad person¡¯. After playing in a few rides, Zhang Shuocheng suddenly felt that, in fact, the big demon king was really good. At least she doesn¡¯t always complain like her mother, who thinks that the weather is too hot, the queue is too long, and the ride is too slow. It takes up too much of her time to play cards and go shopping¡­ Zhang Yansheng talked very little, but when he said what he wanted to ride, she would not refuse and would arrange for the aunt to go and line up in advance. He rode everything he wanted to ride. He ate everything he wanted to eat ¡ª except for ice cream. She said: ¡°If you eat too much of it, you¡¯ll have diarrhea. When the time comes, I will tell it to a lot of people. When your classmates at school learned about it, they will laugh at you for a lifetime.¡± Zhang Shuocheng really once had diarrhea when he ate too much ice cream. He thought about this scene for a while, so he gave up in fright. After all, after entering an organization like a school, humans are particularly sensitive to the rejection and ridicule of similar groups. Even for a naughty child, like Zhang Shuocheng, he didn¡¯t want to be laughed at by his classmates for a lifetime. Zhang Yansheng thought in her heart, in fact, Zhang Shuocheng was not so difficult to manage. After all, there are few natural born bad people. Most of the ¡®bad¡¯ ones are just a combination of disregard for the rules and extreme selfishness that they have acquired after being brought up. If you manage it a little bit, one can have a minimum human appearance. However, many parents don¡¯t spoil enough, so they don¡¯t talk about ¡®management¡¯. Both Zhang Shuocheng and Zhang Heling were living happily these days, but Liang Yingying felt weird in her heart. It¡¯s really true that Zhang Huan really knows her, to say that she really forgot that they were going to the amusement park today! She just said it casually to Zhang Shuocheng at the time. She never had the kind of parental consciousness that she had to fulfill whatever she had said to her children. She said it casually and then turned around and forgot too much, not much this time. It¡¯s just that Zhang Shuocheng is also a child himself, and he forgets the big things after turning his back. In a moment, he will roll on the ground asking to go to the amusement park. And in the next moment, he will start playing on the game console, and had already tossed the idea of going to the amusement park. Zhang Heling has always had this in her heart, but she won¡¯t talk to Liang Yingying or Zhang Shuocheng. Zhang Yansheng and Zhang Huan arranged things, and no one thought about telling Liang Yingying. Liang Yingying had forgotten Zhang Heling¡¯s birthday and this day when she had agreed to go to the amusement park, she had forgotten all about it. She also made an appointment to play cards today. As a result, she woke up in the morning and asked, ¡°Where are they?¡± The aunt said with a smile, ¡°They all went to the amusement park.¡± There was an indescribable meaning in the aunt¡¯s smile. Liang Yingying: ¡°¡­¡± Liang Yingying felt strange in her heart. In fact, if they call her out, she would be reluctant to go. It¡¯s so hot in summer! If you want to stay out of the heat, then you have to get up early. She is not a person who can get up early, and she would be very angry when she wakes up early. If Zhang Huan directly said that she didn¡¯t need to go, she would definitely be happy not to go as well. However, but! The entire family didn¡¯t say a word and they all went out together, leaving her alone. In particular, Zhang Yansheng, the excess baggage, went out with them too! In Liang Yingying¡¯s heart, she was particularly uncomfortable and she totally felt awkward. When playing cards, she was absent-minded and had lost several rounds. Her best friend asked, ¡°What¡¯s wrong with you today?¡± Liang Yingying was eager to talk and told her everything. After she finished speaking, she said: ¡°I don¡¯t know what¡¯s wrong, so I always feel awkward.¡± Her best friend held a lady¡¯s cigarette, breathed out a white smoke, and said, ¡°Based on what I heard, this excess baggage in your family seems to please your two children.¡± Liang Yingying raised her eyebrows: ¡°Oh?¡± The others also said, ¡°This girl sounds like she has a scheme.¡± ¡°If you don¡¯t understand, it means that she wants your children to get closer to her and not to you. This commodity is very calculating.¡± Things are gathered in similarities, and people live in groups. This table is either the second wife or the third wife, and they are all women who rely on the gold master to eat. Liang Yingying is the best among them ¡ª she trapped the gold master and had an advantage. She is now a wealthy wife, as if she is not on the same level as them. However, ¡­not in terms of identity, just in terms of ideology. Liang Yingying had a sudden realization when she heard it! ¡°Just like what I said! I was really thinking about what¡¯s wrong with her these days! F*ck me!¡± She tapped the table, ¡°She would buy this and that for my daughter, take my son out to play, and get them a VR room! Wearing the same clothes as my daughter all day long which makes them look like mother and daughter! Bah!¡± Others said, ¡°Then, you should be careful. If you don¡¯t take care of your children since you are not at home all day, be careful that your son and daughter will turn their hearts to others.¡± Liang Yingying gave a ¡°Tut¡± sound and said, ¡°What am I afraid of? They were born from me and they are not stupid. Are they still confused about who their mother is? Can they still talk to others and ignore their own mother?¡± ¡°That¡¯s hard to say. Kids, they are all very foolish.¡± A woman said, ¡°Let¡¯s talk about my niece. I told you about my brother and my sister-in-law, right? In fact, I really blame my brother for being an asshole, too much of an asshole. But after my sister-in-law divorced him and left, my mother scolded my sister-in-law in my niece¡¯s ear every day. She scolded her every day and night. Do you know what happened? Now, when my sister-in-law comes to see my niece, my niece will directly throw the things she brought to the ground and will point at her to get out. Look at it, isn¡¯t it amazing?¡± Liang Yingying was speechless: ¡°My God, is your niece stupid? She doesn¡¯t want her dear mother anymore?¡± ¡°This is not called being stupid, it¡¯s brainwashing! Do you understand brainwashing?¡± ¡°So, be careful, your son and daughter are only in elementary school. If they were brainwashed by your family¡¯s excess baggage later, you will cry.¡± ¡°For a child, whoever takes him to play and gives him toys, he will get closer to that person.¡± Their words made Liang Yingying nervous. You have to open your eyes and have a good look, be careful, don¡¯t let Zhang Yansheng coax the two children. Especially your son. CH 44 Zhang Heling¡¯s birthday was celebrated in a restaurant at noon. Zhang Huan¡¯s secretary had already prepared it and asked someone to deliver the cake directly there. Although her mother was not there on her birthday, Zhang Heling was not unhappy at all. Because of this birthday, her elder sister held her younger brother down, and her father gave her the first piece of cake that was cut. If her mother is present, this first piece of cake will definitely be given to her younger brother! If she doesn¡¯t give it, his younger brother will cry and roll around! Only today, her younger brother watched sternly. But under the pressure of her elder sister, he didn¡¯t dare to cause much trouble. This is really¡­ a happy and emotional day. Zhang Heling took the first bite of the cake, and somehow, tears suddenly appeared in her eyes. Zhang Huan faintly understood the reason behind the little daughter¡¯s tears, and couldn¡¯t help but feel very embarrassed, and felt a faint sense of guilt in her heart. But he didn¡¯t know how to comfort his little daughter in this situation so as not to be embarrassed, he had to look at Zhang Yansheng. Zhang Yansheng stretched out her hand and patted Zhang Heling¡¯s head twice. Zhang Shuocheng was engrossed in eating, not knowing anything. They all went home only in the afternoon. Everyone was surprised that Liang Yingying was at home in broad daylight. ¡°Didn¡¯t you go out to play cards?¡± Zhang Huan asked. ¡°What? Isn¡¯t it Hehe¡¯s birthday today? So, I came back early.¡± Liang Yingying complained, ¡°Honestly, why didn¡¯t anyone call me when you all went out to the amusement park?¡± Zhang Heling felt slightly uneasy. Zhang Huan didn¡¯t change his expression and said, ¡°Everyone knows that we are going to celebrate Hehe¡¯s birthday today, and so we all got up early. Why didn¡¯t you know how to get up early?¡± This is not entirely true. At least Zhang Shuocheng had forgotten about this a long time ago. Zhang Heling went upstairs to call him early in the morning. As soon as she said ¡°go to the amusement park¡±, he got up immediately. However, it was enough to make Liang Yingying choke. Suddenly, Liang Yingying became the one who was in the wrong. Zhang Heling breathed a sigh of relief, but was not disappointed. Her own mother just said that she had forgotten her birthday, which was not surprising to Zhang Heling at all. She watched Zhang Yansheng go upstairs without saying a word, shouted ¡°Sister¡±, and also caught up. Aunt Wang also dragged Zhang Shuocheng upstairs to change clothes. Liang Yingying really felt that the children didn¡¯t seem to be as close to her as they used to be. But what¡¯s worse than this is that Zhang Huan doesn¡¯t seem to have the same attitude towards her as before. This made Liang Yingying wary. She groaned and grabbed Zhang Huan¡¯s arm: ¡°Come on, it¡¯s not that you don¡¯t know me. I watched the drama until late last night, how can I get up early~¡± She dropped out of school and came to K City to work as a wild model. She was taken to some ¡®dinners¡¯ by a younger sister. She met Zhang Huan and followed him at a young age. At that time, she was invincible in her youth, coquettish and cute, Zhang Huan especially liked this behavior. But now, Zhang Huan¡¯s psychological feelings have become different. He felt that Liang Yingying¡¯s coquettishness is not as cute as before. After all, how old was he then, and how old is he now? Zhang Huan didn¡¯t like this same old stuff at his age now, Zhang Huan didn¡¯t take it very much. Especially here, in his own home, with children and aunts. This is not a hidden golden house outside, and going there is just to enjoy this sweet town.1 In his own home, in front of his children, he has to act properly as a parent. But he can¡¯t just carry it by himself. Liang Yingying is a mother, how can she continue like this? Liang Yingying¡¯s coquettishness and show-off attitude have not changed as they did 10 years ago, but Zhang Huan¡¯s requirements for her have changed. In the past, he was greedy for her youthful body, but now what he wants is a wife who can take good care of his family and children. Can this requirement be the same as before? Zhang Huan said softly: ¡°At home, don¡¯t keep doing this. The children are watching.¡± Liang Yingying was a little confused. After Zhang Huan finished speaking, he shook his arm, as if to get rid of her. Liang Yingying hurriedly hugged his arm and said cautiously: ¡°The children are all upstairs.¡± ¡°Then don¡¯t keep doing this.¡± Zhang Huan frowned and said, ¡°How old are you? You¡¯re a mother of two children already, so don¡¯t always pretend to be like a little girl. The last time I told you about it, was it all in vain?¡± Pretend to be like a little girl??? Liang Yingying seemed to have received a slap on her face, which turned blue and red for a while. She felt a great sense of crisis in her heart, and she refused to let Zhang Huan go. She gritted her teeth and insisted on smiling and said: ¡°It¡¯s hot outside, let¡¯s go upstairs and take a shower.¡± Zhang Huan shook his arms, but couldn¡¯t shake her away, and he was pressed tighter by her instead. He shook his head and went upstairs holding her arm. It is true that summer is very hot, so it is actually quite hard for adults to take children to play outdoors. In particular, Zhang Yansheng took the initiative to take Zhang Shuocheng over this morning, sweating outside. When she got home, she took a cool bath and then dried her long hair. For girls, it would inevitably take more time. After changing clothes, she went downstairs. The two younger ones were already playing game consoles downstairs. As soon as Zhang Yansheng got off her forefoot, Zhang Huan and Liang Yingying also came down, and called her from behind. Zhang Yansheng turned her head, and when she saw Zhang Huan, she felt that he was a little different. She frowned slightly. When Zhang Huan walked up to her, she could see that his appearance was very relaxed, and there was a kind of comfort between his eyebrows. Looking at Liang Yingying again, there was still a bit of spring in the corners of her eyebrows. What else can Zhang Yansheng, whose soul is already an adult, not understand?! Zhang Yansheng was speechless for a moment. Just going upstairs to change clothes and take a shower, her father and this woman can have a shot. Zhang Yansheng turned her head back, walked faster, and stayed away from the two people who had just made love. In the small hall, she also deliberately went to sit next to Zhang Heling, because that position was the farthest from where Zhang Huan often sat! Seeing that everyone was down, an aunt brought up some fruits. Zhang Yansheng didn¡¯t want to eat for the time being, so she didn¡¯t move. Liang Yingying has always been attentive to Zhang Huan, holding a fruit fork and trying to feed him. Zhang Huan took the fork and gave her a thoughtful look, preventing her from deliberately showing intimacy in front of the children. Zhang Heling finished eating the fruit, left the game console and went to the bathroom. Zhang Shuocheng raised his head after playing a game. At first glance, he didn¡¯t want to eat fruit, he wanted to eat popsicles. Although he had a good time in the morning, it was too hot. When he got home, he still wanted to eat popsicles to cool off. He jumped off the sofa, ran to the refrigerator in the dining hall and opened its door. He took an ice cream and suddenly remembered that Zhang Yansheng hadn¡¯t eaten any fruit, he couldn¡¯t help but hesitate. After hesitating, Zhang Shuocheng took another one and ran back with a thud. ¡°For you.¡± He said in a rough voice and handed the ice cream to Zhang Yansheng. Zhang Huan and Liang Yingying both stopped and looked at this kid who had always been lawless and would not think about others in surprise. In the past, when would he remember that when he took something delicious, he would bring it for others as well? But he actually remembered bringing one to Zhang Yansheng just now. Zhang Huan and Liang Yingying have been sitting there, but they clearly know that Zhang Yansheng has been looking down at her cellphone and did not ask Zhang Shuocheng to get her ice cream! Zhang Yansheng was also surprised. Indeed, after being reborn, she disciplined Zhang Shuocheng, but she didn¡¯t do it for Zhang Shuocheng¡¯s sake. She was tired of seeing Zhang Shuocheng in her previous life, so she was not so kind to him at all. She just wanted to prevent Zhang Shuocheng from harming others in the future. But this Zhang Shuocheng in front of her¡­ seems to have deviated a little from her memory. Zhang Yansheng was silent for a while, then took it: ¡°Thank you.¡± For the first time in his life, Zhang Yansheng thanked Zhang Shuocheng. This is also a very novel experience for Zhang Shuocheng. With a sullen face, he said stiffly: ¡°You, you are welcome.¡± Regarding the politeness of saying ¡°thank you¡± and ¡°you¡¯re welcome¡±, Zhang Yansheng taught him with a ferule and fist. Zhang Huan blinked in surprise, watching this scene of siblings¡¯ interaction. It was originally just the courtesy that a normal child should have, but it fell on Zhang Shuocheng, a naughty child¡­ He was simply surprised and moved. Since Zhang Yansheng started to discipline Zhang Shuocheng, Zhang Shuocheng¡¯s achievements have become much more worry-free! Liang Yingying felt the opposite of him. She felt outrageous. This is a son she personally gave birth to and raised. How many times has she instilled in him that ¡®Zhang Yansheng is a superfluous thing¡¯? So, why did he suddenly get close to Zhang Yansheng? Even her, as his own mother, has never gotten anything to eat or drink from him! Liang Yingying remembered what her girlfriends said, saying that Zhang Yansheng was scheming to win over her children. She didn¡¯t think about it very much at that time, thinking that after all, they were born by herself and should know who they should get intimate with. But now, there is clear evidence in front of her! Zhang Yansheng! You are so d*mn clever! She underestimated her! Liang Yingying was dizzy with anger and stared at Zhang Yansheng fiercely. She didn¡¯t realize that in the short period of more than half a month, after Zhang Yansheng was reborn, she had lost her previous calmness when facing this 15-year-old girl. In the past, there was a smile at the corner of her mouth, provocative eyes, and sarcasm in her words, which made the little girl furious and even hysterical. Now, she was replaced by a girl who was calm and silent, very indifferent. In this kind of fight, whoever is anxious and impatient will lose first. Zhang Yansheng lowered her head and took a bite of the ice cream. The ice cream Zhang Shuocheng gave her was strange. While thinking about it, she suddenly felt those staring eyes. She raised her head and found that her father and his little wife were staring at her. It¡¯s just that the eyes of the two people are showing very different expressions. Zhang Huan¡¯s gaze was admiration and relief, as if he wanted to say something but couldn¡¯t say it, while Liang Yingying¡¯s gaze was poisonous and vicious. Zhang Yansheng slowly took another bite of the ice cream, ignoring Zhang Huan¡¯s expression of wanting to say something but was so hesitant and with a deeply moved appearance, and looked straight back to the other person. Zhang Huan was originally feeling emotional, but suddenly felt that Zhang Yansheng¡¯s eyes were wrong. He turned his head along her gaze and saw Liang Yingying sitting next to him with fierce eyes. Zhang Huan: ¡°¡­¡± Zhang Huan shook Liang Yingying with the back of his hand for a while: ¡°Hey, what are you doing?¡± Liang Yingying returned to her senses. Why did she show her true colors in front of Zhang Huan? D*mn it! She quickly smiled flatteringly and said, ¡°I was thinking of Shuoshuo, how polite Shuoshuo is now.¡± ¡°That¡¯s right.¡± Zhang Huan said indifferently, ¡°Yanyan has taught his younger brother so well.¡± Liang Yingying choked badly, concealing the hatred in her heart. Zhang Huan turned his head to look at his daughter again. The corners of the eldest daughter¡¯s mouth were slightly slanted, she slowly ate the ice cream, and her gaze had fallen back to her cellphone. It was as if she hadn¡¯t seen or heard the conversation between the husband and wife. When his little daughter came back from the bathroom, she saw his son eating ice cream and said that she was also going to eat the same thing. The son laughed loudly: ¡°I took the last two of this flavor.¡± The little daughter was so angry and she went to get something else. The two children chattered. In this kind of lively moment, the girl who quietly looks at the cellphone gives a very different sense of maturity. With this comparison, Zhang Huan sighed inwardly. His wife, who is almost 30 years old now, is not as good as his 15-year-old daughter. Soon Friday had passed, and it is now Saturday. Young Master Liang, who had moved away from Zhang¡¯s house for a week, is here again. ¡°Is my aunt here? I came to find Hehe and Shuoshuo to play.¡± He said with a smile. He was full of noble and benevolent character, and there was no ill-feeling look at all. Unfortunately, Zhang Huan and Liang Yingying were not at home. Even Zhang Yansheng made an appointment for sparring to train in boxing. Liang Zheng¡¯s eyes lit up when he heard this: ¡°That¡¯s just right! No, no, I mean, it just so happens that I¡¯m going to see my brother and my sister. Hey, don¡¯t worry about me, I¡¯ll just go upstairs and find them both by myself.¡± So, the aunt just let Liang Zheng go upstairs. CH 45 Aunt Luo carried Zhang Yansheng¡¯s ironed clothes upstairs. She was stunned when she held the door handle and wanted to open the door ¡ª Zhang Yansheng¡¯s door was opened. She clearly remembered that after Zhang Yansheng went out, she came in and cleaned up the room for her, and closed the door when she left. Zhang Yansheng particularly doesn¡¯t like other people at home entering her room, so when she is not at home, the door is always closed. Aunt Luo pushed the door and went in, and asked as she walked, ¡°Yanyan, are you back?¡± There was a loud noise in the bathroom, like the sound of accidentally kicking the bath stool and there¡¯s a friction sound on the ground. Aunt Luo originally walked to the cloakroom with her clothes in her arms, but stopped when she heard the sound and shouted, ¡°Yanyan? Are you okay?¡± Unexpectedly, when the bathroom door opened, it was Liang Zheng who ran out in a panic. Aunt Luo was taken aback for a moment, and asked in surprise; ¡°Why are you here?¡± Liang Zheng smiled and said, ¡°I¡¯m playing hide-and-seek with Shuoshuo. I just came in here to hide.¡± He is Liang Yingying¡¯s nephew and Aunt Luo scolded him angrily: ¡°This is the young lady¡¯s room, so you can¡¯t come in casually!¡± Liang Zheng¡¯s attitude was very good and he immediately confessed his mistake: ¡°It¡¯s me who¡¯s wrong, it¡¯s me who¡¯s wrong, so I¡¯ll go out right away.¡± As he said this, he walked away quickly, as if running away. Aunt Luo spat softly at the door and went to the cloakroom with the clothes in her arms. After hanging those clothes up and preparing to leave, she glanced at the bathroom, Aunt Luo frowned and went in to take a look. There didn¡¯t seem to be any disturbance, but Aunt Luo was still very uncomfortable. She was worried about whether Liang Zheng would use Zhang Yansheng¡¯s toilet without authorization. In that case, it would be disgusting. Cleaning is not within the scope of Aunt Luo¡¯s responsibilities, as the cleaning aunt is in charge of it. But Aunt Luo snorted, went to get the cleaning materials, put on rubber gloves, and scrubbed the toilet inside and out, just in case. In short, she can¡¯t let the dirty things disgust Zhang Yansheng. Zhang Yansheng came home, took a change of clothes and went into the bathroom to take a shower. As soon as she entered, she sneezed and came out pinching her nose. ¡°Aunt Luo, Aunt Luo!¡± She yelled twice in the hallway and Aunt Luo came over when she heard her. She complained, ¡°What happened to my bathroom? Why is there such a strong smell of cleaning agent? I almost choke to death!¡± ¡°Oh dear, I forgot to change the air inside!¡± Aunt Luo hurried in and turned on the ventilation in the bathroom. Zhang Yansheng pinched his nose and said, ¡°What¡¯s the matter? What kind of wind hit the cleaning aunt today? How many detergents did she use?¡± Aunt Luo said, ¡°It¡¯s not her, it¡¯s me.¡± ¡°Huh?¡± Aunt Luo explained: ¡°Today, that woman¡¯s nephew was here again.¡± ¡°Liang Zheng?¡± ¡°Yes, it¡¯s him.¡± Aunt Luo said, frowned, and talked with disgust again, ¡°I came up to put on your clothes earlier, but he was in your room¡­¡± Before Aunt Luo finished speaking, Zhang Yansheng¡¯s face was already deep in water: ¡°What is he doing in my room?¡± Aunt Luo knew that Zhang Yansheng would definitely explode when she knew about this. She hurriedly said: ¡°He was playing hide-and-seek and hid in your bathroom. Don¡¯t be angry, I¡¯m just worried that he has used your toilet and so I have brushed it over for you! It is very clean now! It really is!¡± Even so, Zhang Yansheng was still disgusted enough. She raised her eyebrows: ¡°Where is he now?¡± Aunt Luo said: ¡°He already left.¡± Zhang Yansheng found no one to spread the fire, and her face was covered with hostility. Aunt Luo hurriedly comforted her: ¡°I have brushed it many times, and I also used disinfectant.¡± Zhang Yansheng felt so sick on her stomach. Aunt Luo¡¯s consoling was unable to alleviate it. She said irritably: ¡°I want to hit someone!¡± ¡°Don¡¯t be angry, don¡¯t be angry.¡± Aunt Luo calmed her down, ¡°It¡¯s not worth it, it¡¯s not worth it.¡± In the past, Yanyan also practiced boxing, but she always lost to Liang Yingying¡¯s verbal advantage. Recently, Yanyan has become enlightened, who will bicker with her? She would just punch him! This is the application of what she has learned! Make the whole family happy! Zhang Yan was so angry for a long time, but she still had to take a bath. She went to her boxing training in the afternoon. There were so many men in the boxing gym that she didn¡¯t want to take a bath there and came back with full of sweats. When the smell of detergent in the bathroom almost dissipated, she went in with her clothes in her arms. She pinched the hem of her T-shirt with both hands and was about to take it off. Seeing a white belly and a small waist exposed by herself in the mirror, Zhang Yansheng¡¯s hands suddenly stopped. After her anger passed, she calmed down and felt that something was wrong. Play hide-and-seek with Zhang Shuocheng? When did Liang Zheng have the patience to play with Zhang Shuocheng? Does he think that others can¡¯t see his impatience with Zhang Shuocheng? But if he is lying, why did he come into her bathroom? In her previous life, Liang Zheng was a perverted man who quietly took pictures of her from the crack of her door while it was not fully closed! Zhang Yansheng suddenly pulled the hem of her T-shirt down again! ¡­¡­ When Zhang Huan went home, he saw a police car driving into the courtyard of his house in front of him. Both he and the driver were a little surprised. His car followed in. When he got out of the car, the policeman who had just gotten out of the car also saw him, looked at him, and asked, ¡°Who are you from this family?¡± Zhang Huan went over and said, ¡°This is my home. May I ask why you are here¡­?¡± The policeman said, ¡°We have received a report and we¡¯re sent here to check it out.¡± Zhang Huan is a bit of a scumbag as a father, but he is still quite calm outside. Suppressing his shock, he calmly asked, ¡°Who called the police? What happened?¡± ¡°It¡¯s me.¡± Zhang Yansheng appeared under the porch at the gate. The policeman heard the sound and turned on the recorder on his shoulder before asking, ¡°Did you call the police?¡± ¡°Yes.¡± Zhang Yansheng¡¯s face sank, ¡°Please follow me.¡± Zhang Yansheng led the policemen to the house, and Zhang Huan caught up and asked, ¡°Yanyan, what happened?¡± Zhang Yan said without turning her head back. ¡°Come up with me and you¡¯ll know.¡± Zhang Yansheng¡¯s attitude made Zhang Huan suspicious. He went upstairs with the police officers and entered Zhang Yansheng¡¯s room¡­ in the bathroom. Zhang Yansheng pointed to the bracket on which the shower head was hung on the wall: ¡°It¡¯s there.¡± Zhang Huan saw the police officers go over and observe it with a flashlight, then took out their tools, disassembled it skillfully, and finally removed a screw. But that one is not a real screw; it is actually a miniature camera disguised as a screw. It is installed in that position. If Zhang Yansheng goes in to take a bath, she will be thoroughly recorded, and maybe nude photos and videos will also be circulated everywhere. Zhang Huan¡¯s face became livid! Zhang Yansheng was recording the situation with the police: ¡°This afternoon, someone entered the bathroom of my room without authorization. After learning about it, I didn¡¯t feel right. I looked around carefully in the bathroom, and it was easy to find. This kind of thing is usually facing the shower. All of a sudden, I found that the screw was of the wrong color. After focusing a light on it and seeing the reflection, I called the police directly.¡± Before the police officers could speak, Zhang Huan had already come over with a black face and asked, ¡°Who? Who is it?¡± Zhang Yansheng glanced at him and said to the police: ¡°My father¡¯s wife¡¯s nephew.¡± Zhang Huan was stunned. The policeman who asked the question put the name ¡®father¡¯s wife¡¯ in his mouth and asked, ¡°Is it your mother¡¯s nephew?¡± The beautiful girl in front of her, her face was visibly darkened: ¡°She is not my mother.¡± The policeman immediately apologized: ¡°I¡¯m sorry.¡± His gaze bumped with his colleague and made eye contact, and they understood that the situation of this certain family is more complicated. The girl¡¯s father walked out without saying a word. Soon the police officers heard him yelling in the corridor: ¡°Liang Yingying! You come down to me!¡± The police officers looked at each other. The beautiful girl pulled the corners of her mouth and walked out and said, ¡°Stop yelling, she¡¯s not at home.¡± It seems that this Liang Yingying should be the girl¡¯s stepmother and the suspect¡¯s aunt. The police have dealt with many such cases. They brought notebook computers and special software. On the coffee table in Zhang Yansheng¡¯s room, they connected a camera. ¡°Is that him?¡± They stepped aside to let Zhang Yansheng look at the screen. Installing this kind of camera, basically, the installer himself will be recorded by the camera. This time was no exception, Liang Zheng clearly recorded the footage of him installing the camera. Zhang Yansheng sneered and did not reply to the police, but looked at Zhang Huan. Zhang Huan only felt hot on his face. ¡°It¡¯s him, it¡¯s him!¡± He was very annoyed, ¡°Hurry up and arrest this bastard!¡± ¡­¡­ Liang Zheng was quite happy when he left Zhang¡¯s house and returned to his residence. He didn¡¯t know how many times he turned on the monitoring terminal software in the afternoon, but it was a pity that Zhang Yansheng hadn¡¯t come back yet, and there was no one in the bathroom. He could only turn off the software with regret. He told one of his buddies on the phone: ¡°It¡¯s installed.¡± The man said: ¡°F*ck me! Really?¡± Liang Zheng: ¡°Of course, when did I say empty words?¡± The man said: ¡°Awesome! Take it out and show it to your buddies!¡± Liang Zheng said proudly: ¡°Not only do I want to show it to you, I also plan to upload it to the XXX website!¡± Liang Zheng gritted his teeth: ¡°Little girl, you dare to offend me! I will teach you a lesson!¡± As the saying goes, Liang Zheng¡¯s buddies are naturally not good friends. He chuckled for a while and said, ¡°You can do even better by publishing her phone number!¡± ¡°F*ck me!¡± Liang Zheng was suddenly enlightened, ¡°You are awesome! I should have thought about that! That¡¯s what I¡¯ll do!¡± He opened the software again to take a look, but Zhang Yansheng hadn¡¯t come back yet. It seems that this matter must not be hurried, it will take a very long time. Liang Zheng pressed the itch in his heart and started playing a game. He had forgotten the time as soon as he played the game, and several hours passed without knowing it. When he heard a knock on the door, Liang Zheng put on his slippers to open it: ¡°Who is it?¡± It was at the beginning of the month that he thought someone was here to check the water meter, so he opened the door directly. When he opened the door, he was stunned. It was not a meter checker standing outside, but a uniformed policeman wearing a big brimmed hat. Liang Zheng felt fear in his heart at the time¡­ It¡¯s a pity that it¡¯s too late. ¡­¡­ Liang Yingying hurried to the police station, and when she saw Zhang Huan, she quickly accelerated her steps and walked towards him: ¡°I¡¯m here, I¡¯m here, what happened? Why can¡¯t you say anything on the phone¡­¡± Before she finished speaking, Zhang Huan stood up, swung his arm and slapped her in the face! Liang Yingying was taken aback. Zhang Huan is really not a person who can hit women, but this time he was really angry! She was totally stunned! ¡°Look at what your good nephew has done!¡± He gritted his teeth and said that. When Liang Yingying heard what the policeman had said, she became even more confused. She stammered and asked, ¡°Could it be a mistake?¡± ¡°Mistake my ass!¡± Zhang Huan took a few pieces of paper in front of her and shouted. ¡°Look for yourself!¡± The police had already confirmed through the surveillance video what Liang Zheng had done at the Zhang¡¯s house. When Liang Zheng was taken to the police station, he wanted to deny it, but unfortunately, he recorded evidence of the crime for himself. He wilted when he saw the video, so he had to admit it. The police asked for his purchase records and he said dejectedly: ¡°I contacted the seller through WeChat.¡± The policeman then opened his WeChat to collect evidence. Who knew that his buddy was at the top, with the latest message, ¡®Nude videos can be sold for money, so don¡¯t upload them for free.¡¯? The policeman clicked on it to take a look, okay, it turned out that not only did they want to peep, but they also planned to upload nude videos of girls to pornographic websites? Human rubbish! What Zhang Huan showed in front of Liang Yingying were the printed purchase records and chat records. Liang Yingying¡¯s eyes went dark. This d*mn nephew! CH 46 It¡¯s a bit ironic to say that Zhang Yansheng has been waiting for Liang Zheng to take the initiative to steal Zhang Huan¡¯s million-worth watch. She has even been wondering if there is any way in this life to persuade Zhang Huan not to dismiss the case to avoid embarrassment by letting Liang Zheng get into the prison for stealing. The funny thing is that she hadn¡¯t figured out how to convince Zhang Huan yet, and Liang Zheng hadn¡¯t even thought about Zhang Huan¡¯s famous watch as well, but he had already done something 10,000 times more wretch and disgusting than in her previous life. The hateful thing is that the country¡¯s laws in this aspect are not yet perfect. This kind of thing is dealt with by ¡®violating the regulations on the administration of public security¡¯. Serious ones, such as taking pictures of other people¡¯s girls for one year, administrative detention for 10 days, and lighter ones, like Liang Zheng, who just installed it and haven¡¯t recorded anything at all, the final punishment is administrative detention for five days. This is really¡­ it¡¯s cheaper than Liang Zheng! He might as well steal the watch instead! The policeman asked Zhang Yansheng if she wanted Liang Zheng to make financial compensation for her. Zhang Yansheng asked, ¡°How much will it be?¡± The policeman deliberated and said, ¡°It¡¯s usually 500 yuan. But you¡­ if you haven¡¯t been recorded yet, you may not be able to receive any compensation.¡± Zhang Yansheng¡¯s face turned black. Zhang Huan tapped the table and asked, ¡°So, you will just detain him for five days?¡± The police officers are well-informed and have seen a lot of emotional subjects or family members. It is normal for a father to be angry in this matter. The policeman calmly told him: ¡°Yes, five days. This is tantamount to an attempted murder, and it will take only five days.¡± Zhang Huan gritted his teeth: ¡°Don¡¯t be restrained, can you let him out now?¡± Zhang Yansheng squinted at Zhang Huan. Zhang Huan¡¯s face was darker than hers: ¡°Let him out now! Let me kill him!¡± The policeman said with a sullen face: ¡°Sir, I understand where you¡¯re coming from, but please control your emotions. Serious physical injury is punishable by criminal detention.¡± Zhang Yansheng rolled her eyes and nodded slightly to the policeman: ¡°I¡¯m sorry to trouble you.¡± She signed all the documents she should sign, got up and left. Zhang Huan followed. Liang Yingying only dared to follow quietly, not to get too close. Half of her face was swollen. Walking out of the police station, the Zhang family¡¯s father and daughter ignored her, got in the car and left together. Liang Yingying stood at the door of the police station and cursed bitterly, then left in her Ferrari. Zhang Huan was still trembling with anger while sitting in the car, and kept murmuring: ¡°I will kill him! I must kill him!¡± Zhang Yansheng glanced at him, but did not believe him. After all, Liang Zheng had stolen million-worth watches in his previous life, and Zhang Huan just let him go. If the case was filed, Liang Zheng would have been sentenced to several years. This time, it was much lighter than in the previous life, and it was only administrative detention for five days. But Zhang Huan kept gritting his teeth and showing fierce eyes, which surprised Zhang Yansheng a little bit. She couldn¡¯t help asking, ¡°Are you angry?¡± Zhang Huan almost laughed angrily at her daughter¡¯s question: ¡°Does my face show happiness?¡± Zhang Yansheng blinked. She was puzzled because of what she knew from her previous life. But in Zhang Huan¡¯s view, it was because her daughter was still young and did not understand the seriousness of this matter. He sighed, suppressed his anger first, and patiently talked to Zhang Yansheng: ¡°You discovered this matter early, so we didn¡¯t have any substantial losses. But if you didn¡¯t find it, this bastard is going to record you and upload it to pornographic websites. What if someone we know sees it? What will you do as a girl in the future? Where do I put my face?!¡± As he said it, he became angry and couldn¡¯t help gritting his teeth again, his face looked a little hideous. So, he was really angry. Well, Zhang Yansheng thought that it¡¯s not worse than stealing a watch, so that¡¯s fine. Liang Yingying¡¯s Ferrari followed Zhang Huan¡¯s car into the yard. The father and daughter got out of the car without looking at her, and walked straight into the house, talking while walking. ¡°Are you sure there are no other cameras?¡± ¡°No more, I searched it and the police officers also searched it again. This kind of thing is either facing the bathroom or facing the bed, and the cameras on those positions were gone.¡± ¡°¡­Motherf*cker!¡± Zhang Huan burst into foul language. ¡°I¡¯ll sleep in the guest room first.¡± Zhang Yansheng said, ¡°I will find a decoration company tomorrow to renovate my bathroom.¡± There is more than one guest room in the Zhang family. Of course, the one Zhang Yansheng wants to sleep in is not the one Liang Zheng slept in a week ago. As for renovating the bathroom¡­ it would be natural to put it aside in an ordinary person¡¯s house, but Zhang Huan was furious and said directly: ¡°Let¡¯s renovate your whole room!¡± Zhang Yansheng immediately refused: ¡°No way, my mother designed that room for me!¡± ¡°Oh oh! Forget it, forget it!¡± Zhang Huan said quickly, ¡°Then, renovate your bathroom! Don¡¯t worry, I will ask the secretary to arrange this tomorrow.¡± But Zhang Yansheng¡¯s mood obviously became worse. Zhang Huan was a little embarrassed. Liang Yingying got out of the car and chased after them. When the father and daughter were talking on the stairs, she didn¡¯t dare to interrupt with her eyebrows drooping. After going up to the second floor, Zhang Yansheng shook her face and returned to the room. Behind her, Liang Yingying was heard chasing Zhang Huan closely, her voice was flattering and she kept shouting, ¡°My dear! My dear! Husband~¡± But she didn¡¯t hear Zhang Huan¡¯s voice, he was still angry, so he ignored Liang Yingying. Zhang Yansheng has completely recognized it. Liang Yingying is a fart. In the previous life, Zhang Yansheng would be suppressed by her because she was too weak. At a young age, she was restrained by her upbringing and morality, and she would not curse or do anything. Of course, Zhang Yansheng is at a disadvantage when the educated daughter is paired with a bottomless vixen. The adolescent girl suddenly went astray, and there was no way to regret it. Fortunately, she was reborn. Zhang Yansheng returned to the room and looked around¡­ The pattern of the wallpaper, the style of the chandelier, the overall tone¡­ these are all traces left by her mother. Later on, these traces were gone. During that time, she hadn¡¯t been back for about a whole year. When she came back, the house had been completely renovated. When she walked into the house at that time, she felt like she had been punched in the chest, and she couldn¡¯t breathe for a long time. There were traces of Liang Yingying in the whole house. Thoroughly, it was no longer her home. She was hysterical, only in exchange for Zhang Huan¡¯s helplessness and impatience, it was impossible to change the house back to its original appearance. But in this life, Zhang Yansheng will never let this happen again! Zhang Yansheng did not know how Zhang Huan taught his wife a lesson on the third floor. In the next few days, Liang Yingying didn¡¯t go out and stayed at home quietly. Zhang Huan¡¯s secretary called Zhang Yansheng at noon the next day to confirm with her the renovation of the bathroom. In the afternoon, the designer came over to measure the size and communicated her request. Zhang Yansheng¡¯s request is very simple: ¡°Keep it as it is, just replace it with a new one that is exactly the same. The point is to keep it as it is for me.¡± Designer: ¡°¡­¡± So what is the meaning of my existence? Zhang Yansheng: ¡°I want the original brand, the original model. If you can¡¯t buy it on the market, contact the manufacturer.¡± The designer wanted to kneel. In the past few days, Liang Yingying has been particularly low-key, dressed like a nun, and her voice is extremely soft. Even talking to Zhang Heling like this, she didn¡¯t dare to be impatient with Zhang Shuocheng, for fear of stimulating Zhang Yansheng¡¯s nerves. She didn¡¯t dare to take a beauty sleep every morning, so she got up early and waited on Zhang Huan for breakfast ¡ª in fact, there was nothing she needed to serve him to, as Zhang Huan still had both his hands. She just brought a plate, poured milk or something, and circled around him softly. Zhang Yansheng watched coldly, and gradually understood why Zhang Huan fell in love with a woman like Liang Yingying. She looked at Liang Yingying from a woman¡¯s eyes, and she naturally felt that Liang Yingying was brainless and vulgar. Men who take a fancy to this kind of woman are very low themselves. But in fact, what men want is not the same thing as what women think men should want. But even if Liang Yingying was so courteous, Zhang Huan didn¡¯t give her a good look. Liang Yingying relies on Zhang Huan to live. If Zhang Huan values her, she will have some weight. However, if Zhang Huan doesn¡¯t value her, she will become lighter than a fart. Zhang Yansheng remembered that she later learned that Zhang Huan actually had other women outside. Not only is Liang Yingying getting older and no longer young, but after letting her become a ¡®wife¡¯ at home, she has lost her freshness to Zhang Huan. In this society, there has never been a shortage of girls who, like Liang Yingying, want to exchange their youth for a better life at a young age. Younger than her, better-looking than her, and much more. At that time, Zhang Yansheng didn¡¯t go home much, but she had heard of it. However, she had never seen Liang Yingying make trouble for this. She didn¡¯t dare to make trouble at all. What if Zhang Huan divorces her and marries Xiao Si or Xiao Wu? Anyway, she has two children, and Zhang Huan¡¯s assets will belong to her children in the future. She didn¡¯t care about Zhang Huan¡¯s romance outside. Isn¡¯t this interesting? Such a marriage and life? Zhang Yansheng thought. However, she was not qualified to laugh at Liang Yingying, a woman who had sold her body and soul for money. She, a daughter who was born with a golden spoon, had lived in emptiness, as if she had no soul. In retrospect, there was a cold sweat behind her back. Ignoring Zhang Huan and Liang Yingying, she drank all the milk, and went upstairs to study. Liang Zheng was detained for five days. Zhang Yansheng thought it was too short, but Zhang Huan thought it was too long. He waited for five days before Liang Zheng was released. When Liang Zheng walked out of the detention center, a black commercial vehicle was parked in front of him. The co-pilot¡¯s window pulled down, and it was his aunt Liang Yingying. Liang Yingying said with a tight face: ¡°Get in the car.¡± Liang Zheng wanted to say something, but when the car door opened, the two men came down and dragged him in. The door closed immediately. Liang Zheng¡¯s complexion changed drastically, and while struggling, she asked Liang Yingying in front for help: ¡°Auntie! Auntie!¡± Liang Yingying put on her sunglasses and didn¡¯t dare to look back at all. She comforted her with a trembling voice and said, ¡°Later¡­ you have to endure it, ah. You won¡¯t die, ah. Be obedient, ah.¡± Liang Zheng trembled every time she said ¡°ah¡±. When Liang Zheng was sent back to the rental house, one of his arms was broken and the other leg had a cracked bone. Those people left without him. Liang Yingying didn¡¯t leave as well, but she didn¡¯t drive either. She called a car to take him to the hospital. The doctor found that he had bruises all over his body. At first glance, he was beaten and wanted to call the police. Liang Yingying pressed him down and said, ¡°It¡¯s our family who was not very careful, family matters, family matters!¡± Liang Zheng was so frightened that he didn¡¯t dare to say anything. If it is a ¡®family matter¡¯, the police officers that will come would usually just try to smooth things over within the family. In the end, he still didn¡¯t call the police. All of Liang Zheng¡¯s things in the rental house were smashed. Liang Zheng looked at the shattered laptop and cried without tears. ¡°What are you crying for?! You just f*cking wants to cry!¡± Liang Yingying endured this time, and finally was able to point to Liang Zheng¡¯s nose and yelled, ¡°What kind of stupid thing are you?! Your brain is so flooded that you had to install surveillance cameras in my home! Do you think you could live a good life without me?! Just your parents, both of them are so lazy to death! Who the hell feeds you? I paid for the house you¡¯re living in! It¡¯s all Zhang¡¯s money! What has gotten to your head to offend the people of the Zhang family?!¡± She had scolded him enough, and she was so angry that she gasped for breath. Finally, she took out a reel of money from her bag and threw it to Liang Zheng: ¡°Take it, buy a ticket by yourself, then go back to where you came from.¡± ¡°Go back and tell the family that no one will come here in the future! Don¡¯t even think about the Chinese New Year!¡± ¡°Zhang Huan said that no one from the Liang family will be allowed to appear in front of him in the future.¡± In the Zhang family, when did there ever be a shortage of poor relatives who seek gratuitous financial help? In the future, the Zhang family will have no relatives surnamed Liang. CH 47 After Liang Zheng left, Liang Yingying kept her head down at home, smiling and talking when she saw Zhang Yansheng. On the other hand, Zhang Yansheng ignored her at all. Liang Yingying also learned after receiving cold shoulders a few times. She tried her best not to provoke her, and walked around as long as she could. She hadn¡¯t dared to go out to play for a while, so she stayed at home every day, watching Zhang Shuocheng study conscientiously. Seeing that Liang Yingying actually managed Zhang Shuocheng¡¯s studies personally, Zhang Yansheng directly let go and handed over Zhang Shuocheng¡¯s full authority to Liang Yingying. Liang Yingying had seen that Zhang Yansheng had won Zhang Huan¡¯s favor because of her good management of Zhang Shuocheng, so she wanted to please Zhang Huan as well. However, she had no deterrence to Zhang Shuocheng at all. As soon as Zhang Shuocheng saw that the eldest sister ignored him, he immediately regained his original virtues. He wakes up in the morning to play first. Liang Yingying has been up early recently, waiting for Zhang Huan to have breakfast before going back to sleep, and it will be noon when she wakes up again. Zhang Shuocheng has been playing all morning. Liang Yingying finished her meal at noon, and in the afternoon, she would refresh herself and watch him do his homework. Zhang Shuocheng didn¡¯t look right in front of her at all, as he just wrote a little bit and played for a while. Liang Yingying became angry and beat him up. Zhang Shuocheng rolled on the ground again, tearing open his throat and howling. Aunt Wang was also sweating from the trouble. Aunt Wang couldn¡¯t help complaining and said, ¡°Let Miss Yanyan take care of him.¡± Liang Yingying didn¡¯t dare to do anything to Zhang Huan and Zhang Yansheng, so she was rude to Aunt Wang. Hearing this, she raised her eyebrows upside down: ¡°What do you mean? Who is his mother?!¡± Aunt Wang cursed silently: You know that you are the mother of this child, so why didn¡¯t you care about him earlier? Do you think this temporary cramming will work for children? But Liang Yingying put her hands on her waist and said, ¡°You figure out who gives you salary!¡± Aunt Wang shut up and didn¡¯t speak. When Liang Yingying saw her being silent, she curled her lips secretly. In private, Aunt Wang quietly said to other aunts: ¡°Let see what she can do with her children!¡± This situation lasted for a few days, and Zhang Yansheng said nothing. The first person who couldn¡¯t stand it was Zhang Heling. She finally couldn¡¯t bear it and ran to Zhang Huan to complain: ¡°Zhang Shuocheng¡¯s homework has fallen a lot and August is almost halfway through!¡± Zhang Huan also said strangely: ¡°Aren¡¯t you and your sister taking care of him doing his homework?¡± Zhang Heling complained: ¡°Right now, my mother is looking after him, and won¡¯t let my sister take care of him. My mother is at home every day now, but she can¡¯t manage Shuoshuo well at all. Shuoshuo¡¯s homework was all written in a mess!¡± Zhang Huan held his forehead and was speechless for a long time. He went to find Zhang Yansheng in the guest room: ¡°You should take care of your brother¡¯s studies instead. I don¡¯t think she is a person who can manage children at all.¡± ¡°He is your brother anyway.¡± He said with a smiling face, ¡°How about this, I will give you 50,000 yuan more pocket money every month?¡± Zhang Yansheng said, ¡°Originally, whoever had the children should be in charge of them. Others are also fulfilling their obligations as parents. What do you want me to do? Do you want me to rob a child from his mother? I¡¯m fed up. I haven¡¯t even finished my homework yet.¡± Yi High School is a key high school, and together with the acceptance letter, there is a frightening amount of homework given to the students. At the beginning of Zhang Yansheng¡¯s rebirth, her mind was almost empty. She frantically supplemented it with her middle school knowledge. The first thing she brushed was middle school exercises. It was almost done before she started to catch up with the homework assigned by the high school. Many of the homework assigned by the Yi High School are the preview of the lessons to be learned after the beginning of the semester. This is worse than the middle school lessons. At least Zhang Yansheng will have the impression of what she has learned from her previous life in the review process. But the lessons in high school¡­ she had already started skipping class later. She also has a lot of homework now, and she really didn¡¯t want to care about Zhang Shuocheng in her heart. Anyway, his mother has the intention to take care of him now. It doesn¡¯t make sense to leave the mother aside and let the elder sister take care of him. This is all because Zhang Huan is too picky and covets beauty, but doesn¡¯t guard against the outcome, which has the consequences of giving birth to children. Zhang Huan couldn¡¯t help but be embarrassed. He decided to talk to Liang Yingying. Don¡¯t do the job if you don¡¯t have the ability. In any case, the son is his own, and you can¡¯t cheat your own son. Unexpectedly, Liang Zheng¡¯s affairs made too much trouble this time. Zhang Huan not only taught Liang Zheng a lesson, but also broke off the Liang family as a relative. Liang Yingying wanted to please him. In particular, when he talked about this matter, his expression was still very serious and his attitude was not very good. Liang Yingying wanted to do something to make him happy. She repeatedly promised: ¡°I will take care of him!¡± Zhang Huan was dubious, but in the end decided to give Liang Yingying another chance. He let her in just to let her take care of the children. Liang Yingying was really determined to take care of Zhang Shuocheng, otherwise Zhang Shuocheng would fall into Zhang Yansheng¡¯s hands again, and the benefits would all belong to Zhang Yansheng. She can¡¯t have Zhang Huan become more and more biased towards Zhang Yansheng, right? How can that work?! But this matter is not a matter of making up her mind. Tutoring homework for elementary school students is one thing that can transform people in place. Liang Yingying, who hadn¡¯t finished her secondary school, finally got up and wanted to give her son serious counseling, but unexpectedly, she ran away violently! ¡°How can you come up with 9 as the answer? How can the difference of these two numbers be equals to 9!¡± ¡°Have you read the question? Have you seen it? Ah!¡± ¡°How many times have I told you this? Do you have white ears?¡± ¡°Ahhhhhhhhh! Are you trying to make me angry?¡± There is no mother in the world who can carry on tutoring homework for elementary school students, and neither can Liang Yingying. She became violent and began to beat Zhang Shuocheng. In those two days, her roar and Zhang Shuocheng¡¯s howling which sound like killing a pig always came from the third floor. Zhang Yansheng brought juice upstairs from downstairs, and saw Zhang Heling lying on the handrail of the stairs and looking up, looking worried. Zhang Yansheng: ¡°¡­¡± Zhang Yansheng clasped Zhang Heling¡¯s head, no, the top of her head! She exerted force to twist her over, and then push her to her own room: ¡°Do your homework!¡± Zhang Heling grabbed her arm: ¡°Sister, can you do something about it?¡± Zhang Yansheng was expressionless: ¡°Do I have to take care of your mother as well? Let it go, I have a lot of homework!¡± Counseling and learning this kind of thing, sooner or later, someone has to collapse, either the mother or the child. Zhang Shuocheng collapsed first. Zhang Heling heard the sound of footsteps coming in her room and quickly approached Zhang Shuocheng¡¯s hoarse voice ¡°Sister! Sister!¡± The shout was startling, so she hurriedly ran to open the door. Zhang Shuocheng rushed over with tears and snots on his face. Zhang Heling stretched out her hand¡­ Zhang Shuocheng bypassed her! ¡°¡­¡± Zhang Heling, ¡°???¡± Zhang Yansheng also heard the movement, she also got up and opened the door, frowning. When anyone concentrates on their studies, they will be unhappy to hear some noise. When she opened the door, she saw Zhang Shuocheng rushing towards her with a runny nose! Zhang Yansheng instinctively wanted to lift her knees! If this was Zhang Shuocheng, who was 13 years old and strong, she would definitely kick him! But this is Zhang Shuocheng, who is only 7 years old, and he is still young, just a small tofu. Zhang Yansheng was still sane in the end, and she suppressed this flying kick. Zhang Shuocheng had already rushed over, got directly behind her and hugged her: ¡°Sister! Sister!!!¡± Zhang Yansheng was in a panic! She doesn¡¯t know if the snots and tears got on her clothes? In any case, she must not use these clothes again! Immediately afterwards, Liang Yingying chased him down. She was panting with anger, her eyes were glaring, her expression was hideous, and she was holding a¡­ hanger. This thing can be seen everywhere, with both weight and shape. It is a universal weapon for beating children in the world. ¡°Come here!¡± She yelled. ¡°I don¡¯t want to!¡± Zhang Shuocheng also panted. ¡°D*mn you! How could I give birth to something as stupid as you?¡± Liang Yingying gritted her teeth, fuming in rage. ¡°I¡¯ve taught you several times! I repeatedly taught you! You repeatedly make mistakes! I taught you over and over, but you kept on making mistakes!!! Do you even have a brain? You were reincarnated as a pig, right? You come here!¡± Zhang Shuocheng shouted with a sharp voice: ¡°I don¡¯t want to!¡± He hid behind Zhang Yansheng. Liang Yingying was afraid of Zhang Yansheng now, and didn¡¯t dare to pull him directly. But Zhang Shuocheng resisted so fiercely, she became angry, and went to pull him regardless: ¡°Come here!¡± Zhang Shuocheng dodged and screamed. Liang Yingying¡¯s hanger was raised. But immediately, her wrist was held by Zhang Yansheng. After Zhang Yansheng was reborn, her strength increased several times. She held Liang Yingying¡¯s wrist, her hand was like a pliers. Liang Yingying let out a scream of pain. Having direct physical contact with Liang Yingying, Zhang Yansheng felt sick, so she threw Liang Yingying out. Liang Yingying staggered back two steps, leaning against the wall before sitting on the ground. She didn¡¯t dare to lose her temper with Zhang Yansheng now, she only dared to say to Zhang Shuocheng viciously: ¡°If you don¡¯t come over, I will kill you today!¡± Zhang Shuocheng shouted hysterically with snots and tears: ¡°I don¡¯t want you to take care of me! I want my sister to take care of me!¡± His voice fell, and the corridor on the second floor fell into a weird silence. Everyone knows that Zhang Shuocheng¡¯s ¡®my sister¡¯ definitely does not refer to Zhang Heling, but to Zhang Yansheng. When did Zhang Shuocheng actually take the initiative to approach Zhang Yansheng and beg Zhang Yansheng to take care of him? Zhang Yansheng and Liang Yingying are in the same complicated mood. Zhang Yansheng glanced at the little boy who was hiding behind her, only to find a green mark on his arm. It was obviously drawn out by the hanger. The force used is not small, so she should have lost her mind and moved her hands in anger. Aunt Wang chased down from upstairs, and Aunt Luo ran up from downstairs. When the two of them saw Liang Yingying and wanted to rush forward, they went over together and grabbed her. ¡°Oh, just talk to him, don¡¯t hit him!¡± ¡°He is still young! What does he know?¡± Liang Yingying used to say this sentence ¡°He is still young¡± when Zhang Shuocheng got into trouble, but she didn¡¯t expect that one day other people would throw this sentence at her. She was stunned: ¡°He¡¯s a little sh*t! He¡¯s in the first grade! But he can¡¯t even do that f*cking subtraction!¡± She yelled: ¡°Zhang Shuocheng, I¡¯m telling you, if you don¡¯t come to me now, then don¡¯t call me your mother from now on!¡± Zhang Shuocheng inhaled fiercely: ¡°Then I won¡¯t, I won¡¯t call you mother!¡± Liang Yingying couldn¡¯t stand it anymore: ¡°Okay! I won¡¯t care anything about you from now on! Don¡¯t come to me if you are bullied! Don¡¯t ask me to buy something you want in the future!¡± She slammed the hanger to the ground, broke free from the blocking of the two aunts, and went upstairs angrily. Zhang Shuocheng shouted as he protested behind her: ¡°My dad will buy it for me!¡± Zhang Shuocheng¡¯s sniffing sound broke Zhang Yansheng¡¯s stomach! With one hand, she pulled Zhang Shuocheng¡¯s hand that was holding on to her clothes. Zhang Shuocheng raised his hand to wipe his nose with the back of his hand, and Zhang Yansheng shouted: ¡°Don¡¯t move!¡± Zhang Shuocheng just got out of the tiger¡¯s mouth and entered the wolf¡¯s den again, shivering with fright. Zhang Yansheng strode into the room and took several tissues, then walked back and stuffed them to Zhang Shuocheng: ¡°Wipe your snots!¡± CH 48 It was not enough to wipe, so Zhang Shuocheng blew hard. ¡°If you dare to throw it on the ground, I will beat you up!¡± Zhang Yansheng said with a straight face, ¡°Stop, don¡¯t throw it in my room!¡± Aunt Wang hurried over to pick it up. Zhang Yansheng pushed Zhang Shuocheng: ¡°Go wash your face¡­ go to your sister¡¯s room.¡± Zhang Heling came over to pull him, and Zhang Shuocheng went with her casually. Zhang Yansheng hesitated for a moment and followed. Zhang Shuocheng washed his face in Zhang Heling¡¯s room, and the snots on his chest and clothes was also wiped off with paper towel by the attentive little sister. When he appeared in front of Zhang Yansheng again, he was finally not so disgusting. Zhang Yansheng said coldly: ¡°Come here.¡± Zhang Shuocheng was a little scared, but after thinking about it, Zhang Yansheng ignored him recently and walked over boldly. Zhang Yansheng picked up his little arm and looked at it, his brows furrowed tightly. The blue marks on that arm are very conspicuous. ¡°She hit you?¡± she asked. Zhang Shuocheng¡¯s mouth flattened¡­ ¡°Don¡¯t cry!¡± Zhang Yansheng frowned. Zhang Shuocheng¡¯s mouth was slumped and held back. Zhang Yansheng asked, ¡°Where else did she hit you?¡± Zhang Shuocheng lifted his shorts up, and there were also two blue marks on his thighs. His back also, the two most distressing fingers are blue. At first glance, he tried to protect himself with his hands when he was beaten, but the adult had lost her mind and couldn¡¯t stop, so the hanger was directly drawn on his fingers. Zhang Heling was so distressed that she helped him blow it with her breath: ¡°It won¡¯t hurt if you blow it, ah.¡± She didn¡¯t say it was okay. But when she said this, Zhang Shuocheng started crying with a ¡°woo¡± sound. ¡°I don¡¯t want her to take care of me! I want you to take care of me!¡± He cried so much that snots flowed out again from his nose. As soon as Zhang Yansheng saw the nasal mucus, she hurriedly tugged a tissue on his face. Zhang Shuocheng held down the tissue and blew his nose again. Zhang Yansheng asked, ¡°Do you want us to take care of you?¡± Zhang Shuocheng raised his neck: ¡°Hmm!¡± In the past, he felt that Zhang Yansheng was a bad guy when she spanked him in the ass, and his mother was a good person. As a result, his mother would go crazy when she took care of his studies, like a mad woman. She started beating people indiscriminately, which was particularly scary. Although Zhang Yansheng also hit him, she was very calm when she hit him. She even told him clearly why she hit him and how many times she wanted to hit him. Although it hurts, but¡­ it¡¯s not that scary, and it doesn¡¯t feel dangerous. Under the hands of her own mother, Zhang Shuocheng felt insecure, and always felt that Liang Yingying would probably kill him by accident the next time. With such a comparison, Zhang Yansheng, the villain, is more reassuring. And as long as he did what Zhang Yansheng asked him, she would not hit him at all. Zhang Yansheng snorted coldly and said, ¡°If you want us to take care of you, then you have to listen to us.¡± Zhang Heling¡¯s eyes lit up, and she leaned her face over: ¡°Yes! You have to listen to us!¡± Zhang Yansheng put her head away: ¡°So, what do you think about it?¡± Zhang Shuocheng only hesitated for a moment and said, ¡°Then you can¡¯t let my mother hit me again!¡± ¡°Okay.¡± Zhang Yansheng said, ¡°Our family doesn¡¯t beat children indiscriminately.¡± According to Zhang Shuocheng, Liang Yingying also kicked him. Fortunately, she is wearing slippers at home. If she was wearing high heels like in the outside, he might have died. Zhang Yansheng just doesn¡¯t want to see Zhang Shuocheng anymore. But now, he is just a small diced bean, a little older, with baby fats. When he is not naughty, he can also give people the illusion of ¡®cute¡¯. In short, Zhang Shuocheng was spanked by Zhang Yansheng and it was quite awful. If Zhang Shuocheng was beaten in such a random and unreasonable manner, it was unlikely to be done by Zhang Yansheng. When Zhang Huan came back in the evening, Zhang Yansheng took Zhang Shuocheng to complain. Zhang Shuocheng showed Zhang Huan the bruises on his body with tears in his eyes. Zhang Huan was so angry that he almost couldn¡¯t speak. After a while, he held back and asked: ¡°That woman, where is she?¡± Zhang Shuocheng promptly said, ¡°Upstairs!¡± Zhang Huan went upstairs. Zhang Yansheng didn¡¯t follow, but also grabbed Zhang Shuocheng, who was about to move and wanted to follow. They have been staying downstairs. It took about half an hour before Zhang Huan went downstairs. His breathing was not very steady yet and he was still breathing from his nose. You can see that he clearly lost his temper just now. ¡°I told her that if she dares to beat the children like this in the future¡­¡± Zhang Huan said to Liang Yingying that if she dares to beat the children like this again, then she would get out of this house. It¡¯s just that you can¡¯t say this in front of the children. He swallowed his words back and just said: ¡°In short, our family can¡¯t beat the children like this. If one wants to beat you, it can only be like how your eldest sister did it. Right, how well did your eldest sister beat you up? Isn¡¯t it right?¡± That¡¯s what he said to Zhang Shuocheng. Zhang Shuocheng actually nodded in agreement: ¡°Yes!¡± Do these two people know what they are talking about? Zhang Yansheng rubbed her temples. ¡°Just don¡¯t hit people for no reason.¡± She crossed her arms and said, ¡°My mother used to tell me that children are the least capable of fighting indiscriminately and are prone to accidents.¡± Zhang Huan sighed, ¡°Your mother was right¡­¡± Zhang Yansheng hated Zhang Shoucheng in her previous life. He was influenced by his mother and she didn¡¯t beat him up. But Zhang Yansheng didn¡¯t want to mention her mother more in regards to Zhang Shuocheng¡¯s issue. She just remembered it all of a sudden and said it casually. At this time, hearing Zhang Huan say this, she felt unhappy. ¡°I¡¯m going up.¡± After she finished speaking, she shook her hand and left. ¡°Hey, Yanyan!¡± Zhang Huan followed her, ¡°Then for Shuoshuo, you still have to spend a little time as a sister.¡± Zhang Yansheng snorted. Zhang Huan smiled: ¡°I told his mother that I won¡¯t let her take care of him in the future. Well look, you¡¯re not concerned as a sister, but are you really not going to look after him?¡± While talking, she had already walked to the top of the stairs. Zhang Yansheng almost cursed the phrase: ¡°Is his father dead?¡± In the end, she still endured it and went upstairs without saying a word. Zhang Huan smiled. Seeing Zhang Yansheng walking upstairs quickly, he suddenly remembered, and hurriedly grabbed the handrail of the stairs and shouted at her: ¡°I¡¯ll give you more pocket money! Okay?!¡± Things that can be solved with money are all good things in Zhang Huan¡¯s opinion. Zhang Yansheng didn¡¯t know why, but when she heard Zhang Huan wanted to give her money, she felt a sense of suffocation. Not long after she returned to the room, she received the transfer and the additional pocket money was already in the account. Zhang Huan is really the same when it comes to money, and he never breaks his promise. Zhang Yansheng looked at it and threw the cellphone aside. After Liang Yingying gave up tutoring and teaching Zhang Shoucheng, the Zhang family suddenly became quiet and warm. Zhang Shuocheng was very afraid of falling into Liang Yingying¡¯s hands again, so he could only remember to do his homework first when he got up every day. Zhang Heling taught him the things he didn¡¯t know. She was much more patient than Liang Yingying and she could make him understand. In the last half of this summer vacation, Zhang Shuocheng basically didn¡¯t get beaten up much. Of course, it¡¯s not that he didn¡¯t suffer at all. When the child is naughty, he always got carried away easily. It¡¯s just that if he sees his eldest sister, or if others use his eldest sister¡¯s name to scare him, he will always shrink, and he will hesitate to do what he wants to do, and consider the consequences. The aunts were very happy and often used Zhang Yansheng to scare him. However, Zhang Shuocheng was not reconciled, and did not dare to let go of his courage, so he could only soften in anger. The summer vacation passed quickly. Before the beginning of the new school year, Zhang Yansheng went to the school to report earlier than other grades, and Zhang Yansheng took the placement test for the first year of high school. Yi High School has a top class, two top preparatory classes, four ordinary classes, and one¡­ specialized class dedicated to students from well-known families. It was dubbed as ¡®young masters¡¯ class¡¯ by the good students of the school. By the time the new semester started, the results of the placement test were sent out, and Zhang Yansheng entered the top¡­ preparatory class. Of course, it¡¯s not the best, but compared to being stuffed directly into the ¡®young masters¡¯ class¡¯ in her previous life, it has been an earth-shaking change. This summer vacation, she didn¡¯t travel anywhere, she didn¡¯t waste time, she spent a lot of energy to make up for the lessons from middle school, and she tried her best to brush questions from the exercise books¡­ it¡¯s all worth it. Just after getting the notice of the placement result, Zhang Yansheng squeezed it in her hand for a long time, then she stuffed it into her school bag and did not intend to tell it to Zhang Huan. Anyway, Zhang Huan would not care about this matter at all. Unexpectedly, it was Zhang Heling who went to ¡®announce the good news¡¯. During the summer vacation, Zhang Yansheng worked hard to brush up the questions every day. Zhang Heling felt strange. After asking, she knew that there would be a placement test at the beginning of high school, so she kept this matter in her heart. When Zhang Yansheng got the placement test result, Zhang Heling was still thinking about asking her. After knowing the result, she turned around and ran. Her tiny legs soared quickly, and caught Zhang Huan excitedly and told him: ¡°My sister is admitted to the preparatory class! Just a little bit worse than the top class! Just a little bit!¡± Zhang Huan was really surprised. Zhang Yansheng was very good at studying when she was a child, but when she grew up, she couldn¡¯t do much more. The excellence that once made her parents proud gradually disappeared. This time, she was sent to Yi High School to fulfill her late wife¡¯s last wish. For this, he also spent a sum of money. It¡¯s all worth it! He deliberately ran upstairs to find Zhang Yansheng, and had to look at the placement test notice. When he got it in his hand, he was really happy for a long time. Zhang Yansheng felt awkward and wanted to pull the notice back from Zhang Huan¡¯s hand. Zhang Huan didn¡¯t give it: ¡°Let Dad take a look again.¡± He said again: ¡°Your mother must be happy too if she knows about it¡­¡± His eyes turned red as he said that. Zhang Yansheng felt that her impatience can no longer be compressed. ¡°Why are you crying?!¡± she shouted. ¡°You don¡¯t know, I feel uncomfortable in my heart¡­¡± Zhang Huan covered his eyes, choked and said, ¡°When your mother was still here, she made plans for you, and she wanted you to go to Yi High School. She herself graduated from Yi High School. Then, she was gone and I thought I had to fulfill this wish for her, and I had to spend money to send you there. I didn¡¯t expect you to be so competitive. If she could see this¡­ how happy she would be¡­¡± Zhang Yansheng wanted to tear up that notice and throw it on Zhang Huan¡¯s face! Why the hell is he pretending to be a saint of affection! But Zhang Huan¡¯s sadness is not fake. She can also feel it. Zhang Yansheng was only 21 years old when she died, compared to when she was 15 years old, where she only did whatever she wanted. But it would be too difficult for her to accept the complexity of this kind of human nature. ¡°More or less!¡± She gritted her teeth and said, ¡°What my mother would really be happy about is that I can be an only child!¡± Zhang Huan couldn¡¯t cry anymore and became embarrassed. ¡°It¡¯s not like that, Yanyan. The adult¡¯s affair, it¡¯s not as simple as you think, sometimes¡­¡± He murmured, trying to defend himself. Zhang Yansheng didn¡¯t want to listen at all. What can Zhang Huan do even if he has a thousand reasons. It can¡¯t change what has already happened. Some things do not depend on the process, or the cause, or even the difficulties at all, but only depend on the result. It is useless to say a thousand words or even ten thousand. Zhang Yansheng was reborn and her life will never go back to the past. Zhang Yansheng didn¡¯t want to hear a word anymore, so she pushed Zhang Huan out. After she was reborn, her strength became so strong that Zhang Huan couldn¡¯t resist at all. He was pushed out of the room, and with a snap, the door closed and was locked inside. ¡°Yanyan, Yanyan¡­¡± Zhang Huan knocked on the door carefully, trying to calm Zhang Yansheng¡¯s sudden violent emotions. ¡°Go away!¡± Zhang Yansheng shouted inside. Zhang Yansheng used to treat him like this. Every time she was furious, Zhang Huan would shake his head, sighed, and then walk away. After all, ¡®walking away¡¯ is a way to easily obtain tranquility and peace. But today, Zhang Huan was still holding the placement test notice in his hand, standing outside Zhang Yansheng¡¯s closed door, thinking that his daughter was still angry at what he had done for several years, alienated from himself, and no longer close to her. He felt particularly sad and lost. CH 49 Zhang Huan took the whole family to visit Zhang Yansheng¡¯s grandmother on the weekend. The Zhang family takes their children to visit their grandmother at least once a month, and Zhang Yansheng¡¯s uncle will also go there with his family, so they can have a family gathering at once. This time, Zhang Huan proudly showed off to his own mother: ¡°Your granddaughter has been admitted to the preparatory class.¡± Zhang Yansheng was expressionless, and she really didn¡¯t think there was anything to show off about being admitted to the preparatory class. For herself, it was indeed a big surprise to be admitted to this class. But to the outside world, it¡¯s not that she has been admitted to the top class, so it¡¯s embarrassing to show it off. In particular, there are her older female and male cousins, who are outstanding students, in front of her. Sure enough, her cousin Zhang Lin smiled and said, ¡°Preparatory class¡­ then you have to continue to work hard.¡± Zhang Lin is one year older than her and is in his second year in high school. Although he attended a private school, he was in an elite class. Her older female cousin, Zhang Qi, shoved her younger brother and said: ¡°Being able to enter the preparatory class at least shows that Yanyan has worked hard and deserves to be praised.¡± This older female cousin is three years older than her, and is now a freshman at a university. Her cousin, Zhang Qi, has been excellent since she was a child. She was in the top classes both in middle and high school. This year she was admitted to K University, which is located in K City, so it¡¯s convenient for her to go to school. Zhang Huan was just so happy. Zhang Yansheng hadn¡¯t had anything to show off for him for several years. Then suddenly, she made such a big improvement, so he couldn¡¯t help but talk about it. It¡¯s just that in front of his outstanding niece and nephew, it really seems that there is nothing to show off. Zhang Huan reacted and his face couldn¡¯t help but burn a little bit. Liang Yingying wanted to laugh into the sky, but she didn¡¯t dare to, so she endured it with all her might. Zhang Yansheng¡¯s aunt showed a subtle smile. It was a smile that wanted to be polite but couldn¡¯t hide her inner pride. Her aunt also said to her two children: ¡°You two have more experiences, so you should communicate with Yanyan more often, you must be like an older sister and brother.¡± Zhang Heling could not recognize a meaningful glance yet. She was eager to let everyone know how Zhang Yansheng studied hard during this summer. For the first time, she took the initiative to approach her grandmother and said loudly: ¡°Grandma, you don¡¯t know, my sister hasn¡¯t been traveling all summer, and she hasn¡¯t been anywhere. She studies in the room every day, working very hard!¡± Judging from Zhang Yansheng¡¯s mediocre grades in middle school for three years, this description is obviously a typical example of ¡®clasping the Buddha¡¯s feet¡¯.1±§·ð½Å ¨C lit. to clasp the Buddha¡¯s feet (without ever having burned incense) (idiom); fig. to profess devotion only when in trouble / panic measures in place of timely preparation Zhang Lin sneered. Zhang Yansheng later ran all the way to the ¡®bad girl¡¯ side, wild and rebellious on the surface, and didn¡¯t care about anything. In fact, in her heart, she felt very inferior to this pair of excellent cousins. Because the two of them are what her mother once wanted her to be. Zhang Yansheng¡¯s face was also a little burned when her cousin laughed like this. She wanted to tell Zhang Heling not to talk too much, but this silly girl¡¯s eyes were shining and her mouth was upturned, and she was clearly proud of her sister. Zhang Yansheng couldn¡¯t bear to hit her again, so she could only bear it by herself. Grandma smiled, touched Zhang Heling¡¯s head and said, ¡°That¡¯s why she has made so much progress, right? Your sister has set a good example for you. You have to study hard too.¡± Zhang Heling raised her small chest: ¡°I have studied seriously and Shuoshuo has also studied seriously. My sister is in charge of both of us. If anyone doesn¡¯t study hard, he will be beaten.¡± Zhang Shuocheng took the opportunity to complain: ¡°It hurts for my sister to hit my ass!¡± Zhang Yansheng¡¯s grandmother was a little surprised. According to her understanding, Zhang Yansheng almost ignored these two younger siblings before. Why did Zhang Heling say that she not only responded, but also devoted herself to teaching the younger siblings? Zhang Huan hit the iron while it was hot: ¡°Yanyan is now older and looks like a big sister, and her younger brother and sister also listen to her.¡± As he said that, he touched Zhang Shuocheng¡¯s head. Zhang Shuocheng snorted bitterly, but did not refute. Zhang Yansheng¡¯s grandmother smiled with relief, she looked at Zhang Yansheng and said: ¡°You¡¯re a grown up now, you grew up so well.¡± Zhang Yansheng only lowered her head slightly, making a humble appearance. Grandma touched Zhang Heling¡¯s little hand and said: ¡°Our Hehe has grown up too. Today, she is wearing a matching outfit with her sister. It¡¯s so beautiful!¡± Zhang Heling raised her chest under everyone¡¯s gaze, very happy. Zhang Yansheng¡¯s eldest aunt smiled and said, ¡°Hehe looks like her mother and is beautiful.¡± Liang Yingying coldly avoided being shot with a back arrow, and cursed ¡®D*mn you¡¯ in her heart, but she could only grit her teeth and smiled in front of the old lady: ¡°Sister-in-law, don¡¯t keep laughing at me.¡± The aunt smiled slightly, but did not answer her back. She was unwilling to take care of this second wife who is a gold-digger. Liang Yingying swallowed her breath. The reason why the eldest aunt said such a sentence is to remind the old lady that Zhang Heling was a child of this gold-digger mistress. At the beginning, the old lady didn¡¯t want Liang Yingying to enter their family at all, and even suggested that she could take care of the children. But Zhang Huan still felt that the children could not live without a mother, so Liang Yingying got in. The old lady has lived to this point, and there is no need to look at anyone¡¯s face or care about anyone¡¯s mood in this family. She didn¡¯t like Liang Yingying, so she ignored Liang Yingying. Zhang Qi received her mother¡¯s signal and walked over with a smile and sat beside the old lady to talk with the old lady. As if unintentionally, she squeezed Zhang Heling aside. Zhang Heling had already become accustomed to it, and obediently made room for her. Zhang Yansheng couldn¡¯t help frowning when she saw it. When she was young, her grandmother loved her very much. Her aunt and granny are the same, they are both delicate and lady-like characters, so her grandma actually doesn¡¯t like her aunt very much. Zhang Yansheng¡¯s mother is also a career-oriented woman, and she has a great enthusiasm with old ladies. The older people get, the more they love to do whatever they want, and the old lady prefers what she likes. The preference she has for both Zhang Yansheng and her mother is obviously better than that of her cousins. Unfortunately, Zhang Yansheng¡¯s mother had cancer, not to mention her career, she couldn¡¯t even take care of her daughter, so she died in the end. Zhang Yansheng gradually became mediocre, became more and more extreme and stubborn, and later became a bad girl, completely disappointing the old lady. Zhang Yansheng admitted that if she wanted to review her later virtues now, she would not like herself. So, she didn¡¯t hold any grudges against the old lady. Moreover, the old lady didn¡¯t like to see Liang Yingying, at least this matter won her heart. The old lady didn¡¯t seem to like Zhang Heling very much later. Considering Zhang Heling¡¯s later character and Liang Yingying¡¯s factors, the old lady seemed to have nothing to blame for her dislike. But now, at least for now, Zhang Heling is still just an ignorant and naive little girl. Zhang Yansheng is not happy that Zhang Qi, an adult elder sister, is so obviously excluding her out and bullying her. She later mixed up outside and has always been very famous. People say that she is righteous, this is still the case for outsiders. For Zhang Heling, who is still only an elementary school student, Zhang Yansheng is even more unlikely to let her be bullied. She stepped forward, stood behind Zhang Heling, and stretched out her palm against her back, preventing her from continuing to retreat. If she retreats again, she will retreat to the corners and crannies that no one can see. Zhang Heling has always been like this in her previous life, at home and outside. She is cute, serious, and well-behaved. But if she always retreats, who can see her? ¡°Does Sister Qiqi want to live inside the campus?¡± Listening to Zhang Qi talking to the old lady about the university, she asked. Zhang Qi said, ¡°No, I¡¯m a day student. Didn¡¯t I say it last time, my parents rewarded me with a car, did you forget?¡± Zhang Yansheng was reborn in mid-to-late July. She remembered that when her cousin¡¯s college entrance examination results came out, she knew that she would be able to enter at K University. The uncle and aunt immediately held a celebration party and rewarded the cousin with a sports car. It is more expensive than Liang Yingying¡¯s car. Liang Yingying was particularly jealous, but Zhang Huan would not buy it for her until two years later. She just doesn¡¯t know why in this life, he suddenly bought it for her. ¡°Sister Qiqi should tell us more about K University later, so that we can also understand it in the future. We don¡¯t have to just look at the rankings and listen to the school bragging when choosing a school.¡± Zhang Yansheng said. Zhang Qi raised her eyebrows: ¡°Oh, does Yanyan want to go to K University in the future?¡± K University is a first-rate school. It¡¯s not that she looks down on this cousin, but based on her middle school grades, it is a joke to say that she wants to go to K University in the future. Although she entered the top preparatory class this time, who knows if her second uncle spent money to save face. Zhang Yansheng smiled: ¡°My grades are far behind.¡± She touched Zhang Heling¡¯s head: ¡°But maybe Hehe will. Hehe has very good grades and has always maintained the top three in the grade, either first or second.¡± The advantage of sisters matching outfit, a mother and daughter outfit, or a couple outfit is that when two people stand together, the visual effect will be magnified. No matter how annoying Liang Yingying was, she couldn¡¯t stop Zhang Heling from being happy to dress exactly like Zhang Yansheng. The two sisters stood there, the elder sister smiled and rubbed her younger sister¡¯s head, one is beautiful and the other one is cute. There was a natural intimacy in the smiles of both of them, and they looked particularly seductive. The old lady was surprised: ¡°Hehe has such good grades? Why don¡¯t I know it? Why didn¡¯t your dad ever mention that?¡± As he said, he cast a dissatisfied glance at Zhang Huan. This matter¡­ Zhang Huan was also embarrassed and could only laugh: ¡°Isn¡¯t it because I¡¯m busy, I can¡¯t take care of everything. Their mother is in charge of the children¡¯s affairs.¡± He confidently put the blame on Liang Yingying. Liang Yingying scolded secretly in her heart, her forehead was slightly sweaty, for fear that she would make the old lady unhappy again, she said softly: ¡°Actually, well¡­ there is nothing to say.¡± Liang Yingying is very good at talking on weekdays, at least in front of Zhang Huan, she whined and picked out what he¡¯d liked to hear. But why did she become stupid in front of the old lady?! I can¡¯t listen to what she says! Zhang Huan was so angry that he didn¡¯t want to look at her anymore. His eldest brother and sister-in-law all smiled slightly. The old lady rolled her eyes, ignored her, looked at Zhang Heling, and beckoned lovingly: ¡°Come here, talk to Grandma.¡± Zhang Yansheng gently pushed Zhang Heling in front of the old lady. The old lady glanced at her, took Zhang Heling¡¯s hand, asked the little girl to sit down next to her, and asked her about the school in a gentle voice. Zhang Heling¡¯s answer was childish and serious. The old lady didn¡¯t pay much attention to this little granddaughter because of her mother. When she paid attention to her at this time, she felt that she was a child with a very simple mind, but it was very different from her mother. She couldn¡¯t help but glance at Zhang Yansheng again. Yanyan had never liked Hehe before, but today, it seems that the two sisters have a good relationship. The last time she saw them was at her sister-in-law¡¯s birthday banquet. It was only a month that passed. At that time, Yanyan was still very cold to this younger sister. How could there be such a big change suddenly? Because she¡¯s grown up? And knows how to look at people now? Because Zhang Heling sat down next to the old lady, Zhang Qi had to move her buttocks to make room for her. She watched the old lady be attracted to this little cousin who was a bit silly, but this little cousin who had never known how to please her elders before was pushed in front of the old lady by her older sister. She glanced up at Zhang Yansheng. In this glance, there was a faint amount of appraisal, scrutiny, and¡­ a little bit of hostility. Zhang Yansheng was startled. CH 50 Zhang Yansheng wondered where her cousin¡¯s hostility came from? She became a bad girl in high school, and later, even the old lady said that Zhang Huan should not bring her out to shame in front of their relatives at gatherings or something. Later, she didn¡¯t even see her own grandmother, let alone this cousin. Her cousin has been excellent all the way. When she died, her cousin had graduated from the university and was taken by the old lady to teach her the affairs of the company hand in hand. Zhang Yansheng suddenly realized! The core industries of the Zhang family are all in the hands of the old lady, and even Zhang Huan has to please his own mother in every way. The old lady needs an heir. From her memory, there is no doubt that her cousin will be the heir later. But now, this cousin is not the heir yet. This cousin, like her, is just one of the grandchildren of the old lady. Everyone is still young, and it is not yet known what the future will be. This cousin regarded her as a competitor. Zhang Yansheng felt so stupid. She is a loser who was even given up by her father, and she never thought that these things could be related to her. Even Zhang Huan¡¯s own private properties, Zhang Yansheng knew that he planned to leave most of it to Zhang Shuocheng, and only took out a small part to give the two sisters a share of the dowry. Therefore, Zhang Yansheng always asked him for money later, just because she felt that she could dig a little bit from him. Zhang Yansheng never thought that as the granddaughter of her grandmother and the daughter of Zhang Huan, she was actually qualified to compete for the position of heir like Zhang Qi. She was taken aback for a long time before she recovered. After being reborn, she tried her best at studying just so as not to live like her previous life. In the end, she had killed herself in her previous life, and it was clearly a failed life. But she hasn¡¯t actually thought too much and too far ahead. After all, she is only 15 years old now, and it is still too far to say anything, and she has not graduated from university in her previous life. Also, she is not a person who understands life very well. On the way back, Zhang Huan drove, glanced at her from the rearview mirror, smiled and asked, ¡°Why is Yanyan so quiet today? You didn¡¯t talk much to Grandma either.¡± At the old lady¡¯s house today, Zhang Yansheng did not speak much, she has been silent for a long time. Not knowing what she was thinking, Zhang Huan noticed it. Zhang Yansheng raised his eyes and said casually: ¡°I am not a child anymore who always get in front of my grandma.¡± Zhang Huan said with emotion: ¡°Your grandmother used to like you the most. When you were young, all your cousins were jealous of you.¡± He said it to remind Zhang Yansheng. When her mother was still alive, grandma really liked both her and her mother, compared to her aunt and cousins. No wonder her cousin has a sense of competition for her. That¡¯s it. Zhang Yansheng tugged at the corner of her mouth. Zhang Huan added: ¡°Hehe is very active today. That¡¯s how it should be, when at home, your little sister should be a little livelier and more likable.¡± Today, Zhang Yansheng pushed Zhang Heling to the old lady, which made her a lot closer to the old lady. Being treated gently and affectionately by the highest authority in the family, Zhang Heling was encouraged and became cheerful and lively. She was not the same as before, and she was very likable. On one hand, his daughter became likable, and on the other hand, she was pleasing to the old lady. In any case, Zhang Huan was quite pleased. Zhang Huan was very happy, and Zhang Heling also pursed her lips and smiled. Who knew that Liang Yingying would begin to scold Zhang Heling: ¡°You too! You don¡¯t know how to let your brother go and get close to your grandmother. What did you keep your grandma with you all the time?¡± Zhang Huan: ¡°¡­¡± It seemed that in a bright hue, it was suddenly smudged with a black and gray color. Block it. Zhang Huan started a fire: ¡°What a fool! Can you not talk?!¡± He knows what his son¡¯s virtues are. He didn¡¯t dare to bring Zhang Shuocheng to the old lady, lest this kid make a mistake in front of the old lady and it would not end well. At that time, the old lady will definitely scold him. He himself regarded Zhang Shuocheng as the incense of inheritance, but the old lady still had Zhang Lin, an excellent eldest grandson, and she didn¡¯t even care about the children born to women like Liang Yingying. And the old lady actually¡­ has always preferred girls. In the past, she liked Zhang Yansheng far more than Zhang Lin and Zhang Qi. In the past, he always showed a complacent and reserved smile to his elder brother and sister-in-law. Now, his sister-in-law¡¯s smile has an unbearable pride. These changes are all because Yanyan¡¯s mother is gone. As Zhang Huan thought about it, his mood became bad, and his face became particularly gloomy. Since Liang Zheng¡¯s incident, Liang Yingying has been cautious these days. As a result, she wanted to please Zhang Huan by educating Zhang Shuocheng, but Zhang Huan scolded her severely. When she saw Zhang Huan¡¯s face was not good, the party committee explained aggrievedly: ¡°Well¡­ she¡¯s a girl¡­¡± She spoke vaguely, but Zhang Yansheng who was sitting in the back understood it clearly. She just thinks that because Zhang Heling is a girl, even if it pleases the old lady, it¡¯s still useless, right? And she thinks that Zhang Shuocheng will be her only support for the rest of her life, and that the Zhang family should hold him in front of the old lady, and it¡¯s best to let the old lady directly leave the inheritance to him? Zhang Yansheng sneered: ¡°What¡¯s wrong with being a girl? Aren¡¯t you a girl as well? Isn¡¯t my grandma also a girl? Your mother who gave birth to you, isn¡¯t she a girl as well? Without a girl, where did you come from? You look down on girls that much, right? Then, why don¡¯t you go to Thailand to have a sex change?¡± Liang Yingying didn¡¯t dare to provoke Zhang Yansheng now, so she swallowed her anger and said, ¡°I just said that¡­¡± Zhang Yansheng ignored her, grabbed Zhang Heling in her embrace, slowly and gently clasping the little girl¡¯s hair. Zhang Heling leaned in her arms, and the grievances that she had after being scolded by her mother dissipated. Zhang Yansheng laughed in her heart. Liang Yingying thought that people all over the world worship just like her? Not to mention others, in fact, even Zhang Huan¡¯s patriarchal preference is not that strong as she has. And what about her grandmother? She herself is a strong woman. She used to like Zhang Yansheng better than her cousin Zhang Lin, and later she took Zhang Qi with her to guide her personally. Liang Yingying really thought that Zhang Shuocheng could be more pleasing to the old lady than Zhang Heling, which was really whimsical. After the weekend, it¡¯s now the official start of school, Zhang Yansheng tied her long hair into a tall ponytail, wore a new school uniform, and stepped into Yi High School. She was in Class 2, and all the classmates in the class had familiar faces. In her previous life, in a teaching building, they all lowered their heads and did not look up, but they could not be called by their names. These are all ¡®good kids¡¯, and she, who was from a second-generation family, was sent in at the expense of money, was naturally in the Class 8 known as the ¡®young master class¡¯ in her previous life. When Zhang Yansheng stepped into the classroom on the first day of the semester, she felt many eyes coming at her in unison. She glanced over, and the boys who were peeking at her did not dare to look at her. They either lowered their heads quickly or looked away. Zhang Yansheng¡¯s mouth twitched¡­ Regardless of the boys and girls, in her eyes, they were all kids who had just left middle school. But most of them are smart-minded and hard-working people. Zhang Yansheng looks down on them in terms of age and learning¡­ She really has to weigh it, and she may not be as strong as these kids. The head teacher came to the classroom, glanced around, and saw Zhang Yansheng almost at a glance. On the day she returned to school to divide his classes, she also saw Zhang Yansheng at a glance. This girl has a deserted temperament, with a bit of alienation that does not match her age, but she is really beautiful. This kind of alienation, for high school students, can basically be summarized as: cool. The head teacher is sure that in the past three years, there must be long lines of boys chasing this girl. She just hopes that this beautiful girl will not be disturbed by these external factors. The students who can enter this class are not the best, but they are all excellent. The head teacher hopes that none of them will be left behind. The head teacher pushed her glasses, thinking to herself, she has to emphasize a few more times that puppy love is not allowed. School life can be said to be extremely simple in Zhang Yansheng¡¯s opinion. After class, the students began to try to talk to the classmates around them, exchanging names, and getting acquainted with each other. Zhang Yansheng also greeted everyone around her. No matter what these classmates think of her, her thoughts are very simple ¡ª she is an adult and has no intention of making friends with little girls or falling in love with little boys. In the next three years, I have to study hard and make up for the regrets from my previous life. That regretful but gentle voice rang in her ears. Study hard, Zhang Yansheng thought, this is the most upright way, right? After class was over again, she went to the bathroom. When she came back, she met an acquaintance in the corridor ¡ª an acquaintance from the young master class, of course. Xu Lichen and Wang Qian, the two of them got acquainted on the first day of school just like in her previous life. Thinking about it, the students in Class 8 are all from families with a bit of wealth. At this time, everyone is not familiar with each other, so you look at people¡¯s faces first. Xu Lichen and Wang Qian, they have the best looks among the boys and girls, and they are naturally attracted to each other. But if you really want to be top-notch, Zhang Yansheng¡¯s appearance is really the tip of their class. This is why Xu Lichen and Wang Qian quickly moved closer to her after entering high school. People must have something in common to get closer to each other, maybe they are all rich or they are all good-looking. In short, these two can be said to be Zhang Yansheng¡¯s closest friends in high school. But in this life, Zhang Yansheng didn¡¯t want to be friends with the two of them anymore. She looked at the two people who were chatting enthusiastically, but happened to be in her way, and said lightly: ¡°Excuse me.¡± Xu Lichen turned his head when he heard the sound and was amazed at a glance! The girl had a neat ponytail, her forehead was plump and smooth, her pupils were dark as ink, and her eyes were faintly alienated. There was a kind of cool that others could not imitate. Cool and beautiful! More beautiful than Wang Qian in their class! Xu Lichen didn¡¯t move, but Wang Qian moved and made way. Zhang Yansheng stepped in between the two of them and walked to the classroom of her class. Wang Qian still wanted to continue the topic with Xu Lichen, but found that his eyes were straight, chasing the girl¡¯s back just now. Wang Qian suddenly became sour, stretched out her hand, and shook it in front of him: ¡°Hey! Hey! Did you lose your soul? Haven¡¯t seen such a beautiful woman before?!¡± Xu Lichen returned to his senses and only smiled at her without saying anything. But Wang Qian knew that the best-looking boy in the class had his soul taken away by the girl just now. And Zhang Yansheng, who was walking slowly towards her classroom, suddenly felt a wake-up call. It turned out to be like this. No wonder she was reborn at this particular time node. She was given a summer vacation to study and recharge, so that she could get out of the young master class. From here on, she doesn¡¯t have to be friends with Xu Lichen and Wang Qian anymore, and she doesn¡¯t have to follow them to learn how to smoke, drink, and skip school. From here on, she can study hard and take a different path from her previous life. Some casual time nodes in life, only when you walk over and look back, you will find that¡­ they are actually so important and so crucial. CH 51 Xu Lichen is not only handsome, but also someone who moves quickly. By the time of lunch break, he had already inquired about Zhang Yansheng¡¯s name and class. In the next two days, Wang Qian heard him and other boys talking about Zhang Yansheng from Class 2. Although school has only started for a few days, Zhang Yansheng is already a celebrity. What the boys meant is that she is the prettiest in the class and in the whole first year level. However, they just enrolled in the school and they don¡¯t know if there are more beautiful senior sisters in the second- and third-year levels, so they don¡¯t know if Zhang Yansheng from Class 2 can win the title of the school flower. Wang Qian couldn¡¯t help being a little sour. On the first day of school, she glanced around and saw Xu Lichen. Xu Lichen¡¯s eyes also brightened when he saw her, so the two of them struck up a conversation with each other. Then, Zhang Yansheng walked past them without exchanging words, and Xu Lichen¡¯s eyes straightened. Wang Qian saw the boys gathered together to talk about the beautiful Zhang Yansheng. She was not happy and said sarcastically: ¡°She is a good student in the preparatory class. Those three classes, we can just all look at them with our nostrils.¡± The so-called three classes refer to the top class, the first preparatory class, and the second preparatory class. The students who competed very well are all ¡®good kids¡¯, and all of them could not wait but to study hard. They are totally different from the young masters of Class 8. There are only a few ordinary children of this age who cling to others for money. Most young men and women don¡¯t look up to those who use money to do things and spend money to go to school. When they met the students in Class 8, they really look to them with disdain. As Xu Lichen heard the sourness in Wang Qian¡¯s words, he smiled and was a little smug. Wang Qian looks good. If Zhang Yansheng doesn¡¯t show up, Xu Lichen plans to chase Wang Qian. But now that he has seen Zhang Yansheng, he wants to chase Zhang Yansheng. One noon in the second week of school, Xu Lichen tried to strike up a conversation with Zhang Yansheng for the first time. But Zhang Yansheng behaved very coldly, obviously not wanting to respond to him. Zhang Yansheng is cool and beautiful. This coldness adds the attribute of ¡®arrogance¡¯ to her, which is even more exciting for boys of Xu Lichen¡¯s age. He thought Zhang Yansheng was really a vigorous girl. Zhang Yansheng didn¡¯t expect that Xu Lichen would chase her again after she hadn¡¯t been in the same class in this life. In the previous life, Wang Qian moved closer to her as soon as she saw her, and the two quickly became best friends. Zhang Yansheng couldn¡¯t feel the affection and warmth at home, so she attached great importance to her friends in school. Wang Qian looked like a good best friend, and clearly told her that she liked Xu Lichen. Xu Lichen likes Zhang Yansheng. She was liked by the most handsome boys in the class. The 15-year-old Zhang Yansheng certainly couldn¡¯t help being happy and proud, but because of Wang Qian, Zhang Yansheng became very ¡®righteous¡¯ and refused to accept Xu Lichen¡¯s pursuit. So, in the three years of her high school, it has always been a trio or a small group with three people as the core. Later, Xu Lichen and Wang Qian took her to skip school, smoke and drink, and have been out of control on this road ever since. There are also many careful thoughts of young men and women mixed in the middle. Such as, guess what, you chase me, I treat you as my best friend, how can you not trust me, I am your friend, how can you pursue me, quarrel today and ignore each other, and make up tomorrow, and so on. At that age, Zhang Yansheng played in this trio for three years of love and hate entanglement, and lived herself into a novel of youth pain, and was deeply immersed in it. Wait until that age has passed before looking back, especially after rebirth¡­ It was just¡­ especially stupid! Especially stupid! Zhang Yansheng wanted to cover her face! In this life, her soul is already an adult, and it is impossible to reinterpret the youth of the second form. Especially, comparing the hard work of the students in Class 2 every day and recalling the love and hatred in Class 8, it seems like two worlds apart. The same age, but different youth. Zhang Yansheng chose to study hard in this life. After graduating from high school in her previous life, Wang Qian and Xu Lichen¡¯s family sent them abroad. Zhang Huan actually wanted to send Zhang Yansheng abroad, which was a common operation for families like them. But Zhang Yansheng refused to go. Although she didn¡¯t go home much, but when she thought that if she went abroad, Liang Yingying would be very happy, so she would not go there even if she dies. She had to stay in China and stay in K City. Zhang Huan couldn¡¯t help it, so he spent money to get her to a pheasant university. In fact, there is not much difference. Based on Zhang Yansheng¡¯s grades at that time, the difference is nothing more than whether she went to a pheasant university in China or a pheasant university abroad. Everything was a mess. That kind of school is simply customized for people like her. There are rich second generations who are the same as her, as well as children from ordinary families, who don¡¯t have much money, but are willing to bend over and flatter them. What everyone has in common is that they don¡¯t like to study. In short, Zhang Yansheng was like a fish in the water in that school, found her own group of belonging, and met more and more people who were mixed in society, and went further and further on the road of fooling around. In the end, she killed herself. Zhang Yansheng no longer wants to be in the same situation as in her previous life. But Zhang Yansheng¡¯s indifference to Xu Lichen aroused his interest in her even more. Moreover, Zhang Yansheng and Wang Qian were not best of friends anymore in this life, and there was no one in the way, so Xu Lichen openly pursued Zhang Yansheng. Zhang Yansheng refused several times, but was always blocked by Xu Lichen in school. Zhang Yansheng was a little surprised that Xu Lichen¡¯s attitude towards her is different from that of her previous life. Xu Lichen was always by her side in the previous life of trio, but he was far less powerful to her. Why has he been entangled to her in this life? In less than a month after the start of school, Zhang Yansheng was annoyed by Xu Lichen. Zhang Yansheng was not polite to Xu Lichen either, so she knocked on the dean¡¯s office and complained about Xu Lichen. Yi High School is the top school in K City. Although it has to admit some related students for this and other reasons, this situation is not under the control of the dean. The dean is in charge of learning and discipline only. The dean was not negligent, so the next day he gave Xu Lichen a punishment and invited his parents. Xu Lichen didn¡¯t care about punishment or anything, but it¡¯s more annoying to ask for his parents. He was scolded by his father in the dean¡¯s office. When he came out of the dean¡¯s office, his father¡¯s face was still smelly. Even if it costs money to enter at Yi High School, there are limited places where he can go to. It took his father a lot of effort to get him in, and this kid caused him trouble in only one month. It was actually because of chasing a girl, but the girl reported it. Xu Lichen¡¯s father felt particularly embarrassed. When they got out of the administration building, he still said: ¡°Do you have an ugly face or do you lack some money? Chasing a girl can even give yourself a punishment? Your dad has not served anyone, so I will just serve you!¡± Xu Lichen smiled. His father was so angry that he lost his temper, he waved his hand and said, ¡°Stay away from that girl from now on, don¡¯t mess with her.¡± If he doesn¡¯t agree with him, he will give Xu Lichen a punishment. This girl has a big temper. Xu Lichen¡¯s mind was calm, but he didn¡¯t promise his father. He could be regarded as having learned Zhang Yansheng¡¯s temper, which was stronger than he thought. But even with the punishment, Xu Lichen¡¯s interest in Zhang Yansheng not only did not weaken, as a result, it even became stronger. After school the next day, he went outside the school to block Zhang Yansheng again. Zhang Yansheng was walking towards the subway with her school bag on her back, but he caught up with her without any precaution, and stopped her again: ¡°Zhang Yansheng!¡± Zhang Yansheng frowned. She stopped and asked, ¡°One punishment is not enough for you, is it?¡± He actually came to block her. Xu Lichen bared his teeth for joy and said, ¡°Enough, it¡¯s enough. It¡¯s really good enough. I didn¡¯t do anything bad to you, right? Why did you have to make a report and get me punished?¡± Speaking of which, Xu Lichen is still much better than Zhang Shuocheng, who grew up later. Although stalking is a bit annoying, at least it¡¯s not that nasty and he didn¡¯t do such disgusting things. Zhang Yansheng was just bothered of him always pestering her, and she knew very well that Xu Lichen didn¡¯t care about punishment or not. Now that he has just enrolled in his first year of high school, he still goes to school every day decently. But later on, his dad¡¯s f*cking divorce battle will be in full swing, and no one would care about him anymore, so he would skip school, smoke, drink, pick up girls, and sing all night long. Wang Qian likes him, and she will follow whatever he does. Zhang Yansheng was full of hostility and rebellion at home. They were a trio again, and naturally they played truant and missed classes together. ¡°You reap what you sow.¡± Zhang Yansheng said coldly, ¡°You won¡¯t be punished if you don¡¯t come to harass me.¡± ¡°It¡¯s not harassment, right?¡± Xu Lichen said with a smile, ¡°I¡¯m not that low. Didn¡¯t I just block you a few times after school?¡± Zhang Yansheng walked forward: ¡°It has reached the bottom line of my patience several times.¡± Xu Lichen took a step and stopped her again. Zhang Yansheng raised her eyebrows. Xu Lichen felt that Zhang Yansheng was different from the girls he had known before. Among the girls he knew in the past, there were also very ¡®high¡¯ and ¡®cold and arrogant¡¯. Under that high and cold arrogance, there was still a childishness that they couldn¡¯t get rid of. But Zhang Yansheng didn¡¯t have this kind of young and sentimental childishness. She was really cold, from skin to bone, from eyes to soul, she gave him a very cold feeling. And it¡¯s very exciting. Xu Lichen is much more patient with Zhang Yansheng than others. ¡°Stop taking the subway. It¡¯s so uncomfortable to squeeze in the subway at this time. Where does your family live? I will take you back¡±, he said. He didn¡¯t even notice that his tone of voice to her was much softer than before. He supported his chin and said, ¡°My car is over there and the driver will pick us up.¡± Zhang Yansheng glanced in the direction pointed by his chin, and sure enough, he saw Xu Lichen¡¯s car. She is very familiar with that car and the driver. In her previous life, she, Zhang Heling, and Zhang Shuocheng were like strangers. They had different school hours and could be picked up separately, but they went to school at the same time in the morning. Zhang Yansheng would rather call a car by herself. After meeting Xu Lichen, he came to pick her up from the school. After Wang Qian knew it, she was unwilling to let Xu Lichen pick her up. Xu Lichen was perfunctory but refused to agree, and Zhang Yansheng said that she would not let him pick her up. Xu Lichen agreed in front of Wang Qian, but still went to pick up Zhang Yansheng from time to time. The two of them tacitly did not let Wang Qian know about it. Wang Qian always had some suspicions and often take an indirect approach to strike her. While Zhang Yansheng did not accept Xu Lichen¡¯s pursuit for the loyalty of her best friend, Zhang Yansheng secretly felt irritated because she had some little secrets with Xu Lichen that Wang Qian didn¡¯t know. When she turned her head, she saw Xu Lichen¡¯s car, and recalled the bloody and stupid high school days when the young men and women had their first loves, and they were full of temptations and ridiculous scheming. In the end, no one could be with anyone. After leaving Zhang Yansheng, Xu Lichen ignored Wang Qian. After leaving Xu Lichen, the friendship between Wang Qian and Zhang Yansheng came to an abrupt end. After leaving Xu Lichen and Wang Qian, Zhang Yansheng became more and more ¡®social¡¯, and there was never a shortage of ¡®friends¡¯ around her. Zhang Yansheng sighed like an old man in a daze. Looking back, she saw Xu Lichen staring at her with bright eyes, as if he wanted to see something from her face, and there was hope in those eyes. Zhang Yansheng suddenly understood why Xu Lichen¡¯s attitude towards her in this life would be stronger than in her previous life. CH 52 In the past, in Class 8, most of the students had good family conditions. Xu Lichen and Zhang Yansheng are among the best in the class. In the presence of Xu Lichen, Zhang Yansheng was not only equal to him, but also stronger than him. She once said fiercely to Xu Lichen: ¡°Wang Qian is my best friend. I don¡¯t want to ruin our relationship because of you.¡± Xu Lichen compromised, so it has always been a three-person situation. But in this life, Zhang Yansheng entered Class 2. This class is composed of all the students who are really admitted to the first-year high school based on their grades, and most of them are children from ordinary families. Zhang Yansheng guessed that her family conditions should be the top-notch in the Class 2. In this life, she wants to steadily break all the wrong paths in her previous life, and remain in Class 2 through her own efforts. She hopes that she can fit into this class and not be too out of place. So, when she heard the students in Class 2 talking about how many luxury cars were there to pick up the students in Class 8, she asked Xiao Zhou to park the car on the side of the road behind the subway station. After school, she walked to the subway station like some other students. The people who really wanted to take the subway went down. When she arrived at the entrance, she bypassed the subway station and got into her car ¡ª of course, no classmates saw it, everyone had already got in the subway. Very low-key. But because of this low profile, Xu Lichen also misunderstood it. He thought she was a girl with an ordinary family background. For a rich second generation like him, when facing a girl with an ordinary family background, he naturally has a sense of superiority and felt very strong. And now, seeing that the entanglement is ineffective, this kid has begun to try to seduce her with excellent economic conditions! Zhang Yansheng almost laughed in anger. She found that people really can¡¯t be too low-key. If they keep a low profile, others will want to suppress you, and they will be condescending when they look at you. In the previous life, Xu Lichen had always been responsive and gentle to Zhang Yansheng. Zhang Yansheng gritted her teeth, but found that it was probably because of the gentleness, thoughtfulness, and diligence in her previous life that she couldn¡¯t help but classify Xu Lichen as ¡®one of her own¡¯ in her heart. This kid is still very young now and he still doesn¡¯t know the complexity of things, so he just flaunts himself as being outstanding. It¡¯s so ridiculous. Zhang Yansheng gritted her teeth and said, ¡°You, follow me.¡± Xu Lichen raised his eyebrows and followed Zhang Yansheng. Her legs are long and straight, and she is obviously very thin, but she doesn¡¯t have the lightness of other girls walking. When she walks, her long legs spread out, giving people a feeling of ¡®sinking¡¯ downwards, sonorous, and powerful. Xu Lichen likes this feeling very much. He smiled and said, ¡°Where are we going? If you don¡¯t want to take my car, I can take the subway with you.¡± Zhang Yansheng rolled her eyes and strode towards the subway station. The subway station is just five minutes away from the gate of Yi High School. The two of them are tall and long-legged, with long and fast steps, they will be there in three or two minutes. Many Yi High School students can be seen going down from the subway entrance. But Zhang Yansheng didn¡¯t walk into the subway entrance, she continued to walk forward. Xu Lichen followed her: ¡°Where are you going?¡± When she walked to the back of the entrance of the subway station, Zhang Yansheng stopped. Xu Lichen followed and stopped as well. Zhang Yansheng also supported her chin: ¡°Did you see that car?¡± Xu Lichen followed her gaze and praised: ¡°That car is good, is that¡­ Yaoying?¡± Zhang Yansheng knew that Xu Lichen had knowledge about cars. When an average high school student sees it, he can recognize that it is a Rolls-Royce car, but Xu Lichen can call out the model in one bite. However, he didn¡¯t know what Zhang Yansheng meant by letting him see the car. Zhang Yansheng smiled and walked over. It¡¯s already cooler at the end of September. There is no need to turn on the air conditioner in the car. It¡¯s more comfortable to bask in the sun outside. Xiao Zhou was standing there while smoking. When he raised his eyes and saw Zhang Yansheng coming, he pinched his cigarette and said, ¡°School is over.¡± He reached out and opened the door for Zhang Yansheng. He is proficient in his movements and looks like a very professional driver at first glance. Zhang Yansheng didn¡¯t get in the car. She held the door and said, ¡°I¡¯ll just say a few words to my classmate.¡± Xiao Zhou agreed and got into the car by himself. Zhang Yansheng didn¡¯t get in the car. She slammed the door of the car and looked up at Xu Lichen. Xu Lichen opened his mouth as if he was able to swallow a duck egg, which was a bit silly ¡ª there was no way for Zhang Yansheng, who was reborn, to look at these very ¡®social¡¯ and ¡®cool¡¯ peers at the beginning and not see who was stupid. ¡°The students in Class 2 don¡¯t pay much attention to family economic conditions and the like. I don¡¯t think there is any need to be too eye-catching in the class, so I asked the car at home to stop here every day and wait for me. It¡¯s not that there is no car for me to sit in.¡± She tilted her head slightly, looked at him and said this. Xu Lichen felt that he really couldn¡¯t understand this girl Zhang Yansheng. She was more complicated than he thought. She tilted her head slightly to speak with some disdain, and a little bit of a smile, as if she had seen through all his little thoughts. He has a feeling of being invisible. ¡°Xu Lichen,¡± Zhang Yansheng asked, ¡°Do you think that the girls you¡¯re chasing will like you sooner or later because you are rich and attractive?¡± This really hit the nail on the head, on Xu Lichen¡¯s mentality. Xu Lichen opened his mouth, trying to say something, but found that he had nothing to say. Isn¡¯t that what he really thinks? He deeply feels that he is handsome and rich. Even if a girl is reserved for a while, she will naturally not be able to be keep her reservation after a long time. Zhang Yansheng sneered, put on her sunglasses, opened the car door, and said sarcastically: ¡°I am also rich and beautiful. I don¡¯t lack anything. I study better than you. What can you do to impress me? It makes me ¡ª laugh!¡± She got into the car and closed the door with a ¡®bang¡¯: ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡± Xiao Zhou heard something vaguely, and while starting the car, he asked, ¡°Is this boy pestering you? Would you like to report it to Master Zhang?¡± ¡°No need.¡± Zhang Yansheng said, ¡°I can solve it by myself.¡± After a while, she said: ¡°¡­He¡¯s just a child.¡± Are you not a child yourself? Xiao Zhou thought, but glanced at the young lady at the back seat in the rearview mirror. Her face with sunglasses was indeed not so childish and much more mature than her peers. Many times, Xiao Zhou didn¡¯t feel that she was a ¡®child¡¯, and would subconsciously treat her as a peer of his own age. He really doesn¡¯t feel that she¡¯s a child. Zhang Yansheng gave Xu Lichen a punishment. Xu Lichen didn¡¯t care at all, and was even a little triumphant. He went to the teaching office to receive the punishment and returned to the class. The boys all knew that Zhang Yansheng had reported him. They felt that this was the legendary ¡®love each other and kill each other¡¯. Everyone applauded, heckled, and whistled. Someone shouted: ¡°A hero is sad after being turned off by a beauty!¡± Everyone laughed. Xu Lichen clenched his fists: ¡°There¡¯s no way that a beautiful woman can bring a hero to his death!¡± Everyone laughed again. The atmosphere in Class 8 is like this. But Wang Qian was very upset! When she first started school, she did feel that Xu Lichen was not bad and a bit handsome. When Xu Lichen came to strike up a conversation, she still held it a little bit, wanting to be reserved and then plan to develop further with him. Unexpectedly, before she finished being reserved, Zhang Yansheng walked past the two of them¡­ Since then, there has been no her in Xu Lichen¡¯s eyes! That kind of thing that she thought was ¡®not bad¡¯ and that it must belong to her, but didn¡¯t get it and couldn¡¯t have it¡­ so it became an obsession for her. She looked at Xu Lichen again and he was more than ¡®not bad¡¯, so she became more and more unwilling. In the whole first year level, everyone saw Xu Lichen chasing Zhang Yansheng, but in private, Wang Qian was chasing Xu Lichen. It¡¯s just that Zhang Yansheng didn¡¯t respond to Xu Lichen, and Xu Lichen didn¡¯t respond to Wang Qian either. The more you can¡¯t get it, the more you feel that he is better, and that no one else can match him. But the ¡®not bad¡¯ in her heart was abandoned by Zhang Yansheng! Not only did Zhang Yansheng look down on Xu Lichen, she even gave Xu Lichen a punishment mercilessly. And Xu Lichen, why is he so cheap?! He is also very happy and proud! Wang Qian was about to explode with anger! Wang Qian was determined to show Zhang Yansheng some face. Although it has only been a month since the start of school, Wang Qian seems to have established the status of ¡®female boss¡¯ in the class. As soon as she appealed, several girls immediately responded to her. ¡°I didn¡¯t like that Zhang Yansheng a long time ago! She¡¯s like a vixen!¡± ¡°What pride does she have? Hooking up with boys all day long, in every other class, the boys in our class talk about her all day long!¡± ¡°That¡¯s the kind of woman who is in the dark! We have to teach her a lesson!¡± It sounds like everyone is like a righteous knight, but Wang Qian¡¯s heart is clear ¡ª everyone likes Xu Lichen, or has a hidden feeling or a secret love for him. Therefore, facing Zhang Yansheng, who Xu Lichen likes but doesn¡¯t take him seriously, everyone has a common enemy. These are all girls with very good conditions at home. When the sky collapses, they are supported by their parents with money. They are not afraid of heaven or earth. Everyone discussed how to teach Zhang Yansheng a lesson. Yi High School is a strict school. Xu Lichen can be punished for chasing girls like this. These girls dare not make trouble in the school. They decided to teach Zhang Yansheng outside the school. Discussions came and went, and the location was chosen, which is in the subway station. Zhang Yansheng is said to have taken the subway to and from school. Going down the subway, there is a very long corridor, which is very suitable for people and the atmosphere is very good. There is a toilet in the subway. When the time comes, they will pull Zhang Yansheng to the toilet and let her drink the toilet water! If there is sh*t, let her eat the sh*t too! Take a picture of her like that as well! Haha! Let her cry and promise that she will never hook up with Xu Lichen again! The next day was Friday and the girls were very mobile, so they waited in the corridor under the subway in advance. A girl is responsible to be on the lookout from above. At about the same time, the girl who was watching above ran down: ¡°She¡¯s here! She¡¯s coming! Zhang Yansheng is here!¡± Everyone stood up and put on a very imposing pose. Wang Qian also lit a cigarette, took two sips, and stood in the middle of the crowd, sneering and waiting for Zhang Yansheng to appear. Especially with the style of ¡®female boss¡¯! ¡­¡­ Twenty minutes later, she had smoked several cigarettes already, but they hadn¡¯t seen any sign of Zhang Yansheng. Wang Qian¡¯s face was livid: ¡°Where is she?¡± The girl who was on the lookout was also dumbfounded: ¡°I¡¯ve seen her walk towards the subway!¡± The girls gave up waiting for the rabbit and went up through the escalator again. Only when they got out of the subway entrance did they see the students of Yi High School in twos and threes, but where is the shadow of Zhang Yansheng? Wang Qian asked with a sullen face: ¡°Did you see it clearly? Was it really her?¡± ¡°Can I be mistaken?¡± The girl said with resolve, ¡°Her face, I might have been wrong!¡± That¡¯s really unlikely¡­ Where did Zhang Yansheng go? Isn¡¯t she taking the subway? Why did she disappear in broad daylight??? CH 53 Zhang Yansheng did see a familiar face dangling at the subway entrance, but she had gone down. She was also a little surprised of how the girl would go to take the subway, because she also had a car to pick her up. But that has nothing to do with her. She is not in Class 8 in this life. Even if it is Wang Qian, she was actually a plastic sister in her previous life, and it seems that her other girlfriends are actually her rivals in love. For the others¡­the words ¡®a pack of rogues¡¯ are just right. Zhang Yansheng recalled that, in fact, she didn¡¯t have any sincere friends in her previous life. Most of the people surrounding her rushed at her money, and others rushed at her face, either for her money or for her looks. She does have a lot of money, but she is not happy having money. On the contrary, money washed away her life. Day and night turned upside down, drunk and crazy. The crazier she lived, the emptier her heart was. Zhang Yansheng didn¡¯t know that there was a group of bad girls who didn¡¯t like her under the subway station rolling up their sleeves and planning to teach her a lesson. With a slight sigh in her heart, she walked around the subway station, got in her own car, and went home. At home, Liang Yingying is now having a low profile, not as arrogant as before, and the air in the whole home is much more comfortable. Zhang Yansheng asked Zhang Heling to check Zhang Shuocheng¡¯s homework every day, and if he didn¡¯t do it seriously, she would spank him. Zhang Shuocheng was very distressed. But this is the ¡®discipline¡¯ he begged while crying, and he has to obey while kneeling. Anyway, as long as he can finish his homework seriously, his sisters don¡¯t care how he play after. As soon as he gets home now, he will do his homework quickly. After he finishes writing, he will be able to have fun. The weekend passed peacefully and Zhang Yansheng received a call from her maternal uncle. Zhang Yansheng¡¯s mother and Zhang Huan were university classmates, and they studied abroad together. Her grandma likes her mother very much and thinks her mother is a very independent woman. Zhang Huan and Zhang Yansheng¡¯s mother got married when they returned to China after graduation. From the campus to the wedding dress, they used to be a beautiful couple, but before it got to the end, everything changed. Both her maternal grandparents have passed away, and now there is only an uncle and aunt and little cousins. However, her uncle settled in S City because of his business, not in the same place as Zhang Yansheng. Her maternal grandfather¡¯s family is not as rich as the Zhang family, but it can be regarded as a family with good conditions. When she was in middle school, her uncle deliberately talked to her face-to-face, fearing that her stepmother would treat her badly, and wanted her to live with him in S City. But at that time Zhang Yansheng just lost her mother. Although she was always arguing and hysterical, she actually didn¡¯t want to lose her father as well in her heart. So, she refused to go with him. Later, as she grew up, she became more extreme. When her uncle heard about it, he tried to persuade her. But she had already stopped listening to people at that time, and gradually became estranged from her uncle. Her uncle knew that Zhang Huan had sent her to Yi High School. One month after the start of school, he called to ask how she was in school and whether she was adapting well. Zhang Huan showed off to his mother and brother¡¯s family that she was admitted to the preparatory class, and Zhang Yansheng felt very ashamed. But listening to her uncle¡¯s voice, which was a bit unfamiliar in her memory, Zhang Yansheng couldn¡¯t help but tell her uncle: ¡°Well¡­ I studied hard for two months during the summer vacation and was admitted to the preparatory class after taking the placement test before the start of the school. Yes, it¡¯s the preparatory class. Our school has a top class, two preparatory classes¡­¡± It¡¯s not ¡®showing off¡¯, but just ¡®telling¡¯. She wanted the person on the other side of the call to know. But when she said this, she suddenly became ashamed again. She is no longer a elementary school student. Why is she talking about this? However, her uncle¡¯s voice was surprised: ¡°Really? Yanyan is so amazing!¡± Her uncle mentioned these fragments: ¡°Your mother was better than me at studying. You have been smart since you were a child. When you were a child, you always took the first place¡­¡± It was all in the past, but there was deep concern in those trivial thoughts. Zhang Yansheng listened, her eyes suddenly became sour and unbearable. After she was reborn, she also thought about calling her uncle. But every time she touched the cellphone, she felt timid in her heart, so she kept dragging it until her uncle took the initiative to call her. ¡°Uncle, don¡¯t worry about me, I¡¯m not a kid anymore.¡± She said, ¡°There¡¯s nothing to be afraid of that woman, I just ignore her. No matter what, I am my father¡¯s biological child, he will not treat me badly.¡± On the call, her uncle breathed a long sigh of relief: ¡°It¡¯s good that you have figured it out.¡± He added: ¡°Don¡¯t delay yourself because of others.¡± If she had figured this out in her previous life, she wouldn¡¯t be dead, right? But if she didn¡¯t die and be reborn, she would just walk into the dark one by one and won¡¯t be able to figure it out at all, right? Zhang Yansheng thought for a long time, but felt that there was no solution to this problem. But either way, in this life, she can¡¯t fail the people who care about her, nor can she let down herself. As soon as she entered the class on Monday, a classmate greeted her, then came one after another for early morning greetings. Zhang Yansheng was a little surprised, not knowing why the classmates in Class 2 suddenly became enthusiastic about her. She didn¡¯t know that she was too beautiful, tall and cold, and had a strong aura, which made these classmates inexplicably look away from her. She hadn¡¯t had any dealings with these ¡®good kids¡¯ in her previous life; and in this life, she couldn¡¯t feel that everyone was keeping their distance from her. As a result, the rich handsome guy in Class 8 chased after her; but without saying anything, she punished the kid. Then suddenly, the classmates in Class 2 changed their attitudes. Anyway, first of all, this girl is not a gold digger. That¡¯s great. At this age, they are still very noble and virtuous, especially these good students, all of them have a sense of independence in their hearts. They would rather choose to cry in the back seat of the bicycle than laugh in the BMW, and they also look down on those who laugh in the BMW. Zhang Yansheng¡¯s operation, on the contrary, made everyone get closer to her. In any case, it is a good thing for Zhang Yansheng. When she asked her classmates to give her the topics of their lecture for the day, she felt that her classmates were more enthusiastic about her. They also took out their workbooks and problem sets, she didn¡¯t know where they came from, and shared them with her. Zhang Yansheng was a trash from Class 8 in her previous life. She didn¡¯t know where to scour these things. She asked humbly for advice, only to find that these students have their own magical powers. There is always a way to find these things. You can get it from another district or from another city. They all communicate with each other as well. Zhang Yansheng felt that she had already worked very hard during the summer vacation, and she could not help breaking out in a cold sweat when she really understood the amounts of questions these students were doing daily. The top class and the two preparatory classes in Yi High School are all in a circle of elimination. This movement happens once in the middle of the semester. If you learn better, you will go up. If you fail to learn, you will go down. There are also those who fall from the preparatory class to the ordinary class, and the ordinary class rushes into the preparatory class or even the top class. It¡¯s all possible, depending on the individual¡¯s level of effort. Although Zhang Yansheng worked hard all summer vacation and rushed into the preparatory class, if she didn¡¯t keep working hard, she would still fall. From here, Zhang Yansheng secretly made up her mind not to lag behind, and Wang Qian over there was going to explode with anger. Because it was weekend after Friday, this anger of not catching Zhang Yansheng had accumulated for two days! Wang Qian¡¯s temper was not small, she was unable to contain herself on Monday and couldn¡¯t wait to go out of school after all the classes ended. So, she took some girls to block Zhang Yansheng directly in the toilet at noon. After Zhang Yansheng washed her hands, she looked up and saw Wang Qian and several girls behind her staring at her from the mirror aggressively. She knows and understands all these girls. She couldn¡¯t be more familiar with the posture they put on! Zhang Yansheng suddenly felt a pain in her head. Are they going to ¡®teach¡¯ her a lesson? So bold, they are still at the school. What¡¯s wrong with Wang Qian? Zhang Yansheng turned around, ignored the girls, and walked straight out: ¡°Excuse me, please.¡± Not only did the girls refuse to let her pass, they also squeezed each other with a sneer, blocking the door of the toilet in an impassable manner. But Zhang Yansheng didn¡¯t realize it, and continued to walk forward. Seeing that she was about to collide with the girls, Zhang Yansheng stretched out her hand¡­ When Zhang Yansheng got out, the girls were still very confused. ¡°Why did you give way to her?¡± ¡°I didn¡¯t!¡± ¡°You squeeze me to let her go!¡± ¡°No, she grabbed me! As soon as she pulled me, I couldn¡¯t stand it!¡± ¡°Yes, me too!¡± ¡°Impossible!¡± ¡°It¡¯s true! She is very strong!¡± ¡°Hey Wang Qian, where are you going?¡± They chased out and stopped Wang Qian: ¡°This is inside the school! My mother said that Yi High School has strict rules and I am not allowed to cause trouble in the school, otherwise she will cut off my pocket money!¡± Wang Qian was so angry, but she was still pulled back to the class by a few of them. Xu Lichen was still like that in the class. He was scornful. When they came back, he teased her: ¡°You still go to the toilet in a group?¡± However, Wang Qian felt that the more ruffian he looked, the better he looked. Wang Qian¡¯s mind became even more determined to teach Zhang Yansheng a lesson. After school, she didn¡¯t want to make the same mistake again, so she didn¡¯t go to the subway to wait for Zhang Yansheng. She blocked Zhang Yansheng directly on the way to the subway. ¡°Zhang Yansheng, come with us.¡± Wang Qian said, ¡°Let¡¯s talk.¡± She lifted her chin, getting angry. In the previous life, Zhang Yansheng mingled with her, probably just like this. ¡°???¡± Wang Qian, ¡°Hey, what are you doing?¡± Zhang Yansheng put down the hand she used to cover her eyes and said calmly, ¡°Nothing.¡± She just didn¡¯t see it. Thinking that she used to be so stupid, she can¡¯t wait to go back in time and erase this black history. She asked, ¡°What do you want from me?¡± In this life, she is not in Class 8 and has no interaction with Wang Qian. However, Wang Qian still ran to find her¡­ Zhang Yansheng probably guessed that nine out of ten it had something to do with Xu Lichen. Wang Qian sneered: ¡°Why do you waste so much talk? Let¡¯s go, take her away!¡± With that said, the two girls came up and grabbed Zhang Yansheng¡¯s arms from left to right. Zhang Yansheng didn¡¯t struggle, and asked, ¡°Where are you taking me?¡± The girls also looked at Wang Qian. Wang Qian hesitated for a moment and said, ¡°In the subway station!¡± There are students in Yi High School around who have already begun to stop and look over them. Zhang Yansheng wanted to study in high school so well and didn¡¯t want to make trouble. If they¡¯re going under the subway station¡­ then it¡¯s okay! So, she steadily agreed: ¡°Let¡¯s go then.¡± The two girls clung to her arms tightly, lest she escape. However, Zhang Yansheng was very obedient and followed them to the subway station without resistance. ¡­¡­ Xu Lichen had already gotten in his car, and the car had already started to move more than a hundred meters away. Because there were too many people picking up children after school, he was stuck there temporarily unable to move for a while, so they moved forward slowly. At this time, Xu Lichen received a call from a classmate: ¡°Xu Lichen! Wang Qian and the others took Zhang Yansheng from Class 2 away!¡± Xu Lichen froze for a moment and immediately thought of the reason ¡ª Wang Qian chased him very tightly. She must have been jealous and wanted to teach Zhang Yansheng a lesson. ¡°Stop the car!¡± Xu Lichen shouted immediately. The driver stepped on the brakes subconsciously, and Xu Lichen jumped out of the car before the car stopped steadily. While running back, he asked, ¡°Where did they take Zhang Yansheng?¡± The classmate told him: ¡°They got in the subway station!¡± Xu Lichen held the phone and ran wildly. Although they had only been classmates for a month, he could see that Wang Qian is a kind of girl who is cruel to the bones. In a conversation, he also heard how she ¡®taught¡¯ people when she was in middle school. Xu Lichen sweated on his forehead and ran wildly. Down the long stairs in the subway station, he rushed down almost at the speed of a 100-meter sprint. However, halfway through the rush, he suddenly saw Zhang Yansheng. Zhang Yansheng was standing on the escalator and was going up. ¡°Zhang Yansheng!¡± Xu Lichen shouted, then he turned around and ran up again! He has quite a good physical shape. He rushed all the way, rushed down the stairs, and rushed up the stairs, unexpectedly catching up to stop Zhang Yansheng. ¡°You, you, are you okay?¡± He asked breathlessly. Zhang Yansheng looked at the boy with a flushed face from running wild, and said silently, ¡°Don¡¯t tell me you are here as a hero trying to save a beauty?¡± Xu Lichen sized her up. She still looks cold and indifferent, but her clothes and hair are neat, and there are no scars or tears on her face, everything looks as usual. Xu Lichen put his hands on his waist and looked up to the sky, then lowered his head and said, ¡°It seems that there is no such opportunity, huh?¡± Although Zhang Yansheng didn¡¯t like the young Xu Lichen in this life, in fact, Xu Lichen was really good to Zhang Yansheng in her previous life. It¡¯s a pity that they couldn¡¯t be a couple in the end and were separated from each other as friends, then they gradually drifted away. Zhang Yansheng recalled this and looked at Xu Lichen with a rare smile. Having ruddy lips, the corners of her lips curled up. Xu Lichen was stunned. Zhang Yansheng put on her sunglasses: ¡°No.¡± Then, she stepped forward and walked outside. Xu Lichen suddenly remembered: ¡°Hey, what about Wang Qian and the others?¡± What really happened? Didn¡¯t Wang Qian bring several girls to clean her up? Where did they go? Zhang Yansheng didn¡¯t look back, only gave him a gesture. She pointed her thumb to the back of her shoulder. Xu Lichen turned his head and looked in the direction she was pointing at. It was a long staircase leading down to the subway station. Looking back, Zhang Yansheng¡¯s long legs had already stepped out of the subway station entrance. In the autumn light, her figure looks particularly slender. CH 54 When Xu Lichen found Wang Qian and the others, they were all crying. When they ¡®escorted¡¯ Zhang Yansheng down, she did not resist at all. They were still a little proud, thinking that she was just like the girls they had bullied before, and they got more courage because there¡¯s so many of them. After taking her to the women¡¯s toilet, Zhang Yansheng asked, ¡°What do you want to do?¡± Wang Qian didn¡¯t answer her question and cursed: ¡°Why are you so cheap? Seducing boys all day long! I will teach you a lesson today!¡± She stepped forward and raised a hand to give her a slap in the face! Unfortunately, they didn¡¯t hear the expected ¡®pa¡¯ sound. The moment Wang Qian raised her hand, the two girls who had been holding Zhang Yansheng¡¯s arms only felt that their hands slipped, and Zhang Yansheng broke free. Wang Qian exerted all her strength to give her a slap in the face, who knew that Zhang Yansheng caught her wrist like lightning. Wang Qian breathed a sigh of relief, and after struggling twice, she found that she couldn¡¯t get rid of it. With a fierce light in her eyes, she raised her foot and kicked towards Zhang Yansheng! Zhang Yansheng had been with Wang Qian for three years in her previous life, so she knew Wang Qian¡¯s tricks too well. Zhang Yansheng raised her knee earlier than Wang Qian, and directly kicked Wang Qian¡¯s leg back. Wang Qian screamed. If it weren¡¯t for Zhang Yansheng pulling her, she would have fallen backwards to the ground. After all, Zhang Yansheng was still considering their plastic sisterhood from the previous life, so she grabbed her and did not let her fall. But the other girls have already shouted over. They are not really trained like Zhang Yansheng, they are just the type to shove, slap, and scratch their nails indiscriminately. Zhang Yansheng shook her wrist and pushed Wang Qian down. There was some kindness under her hands, so although Wang Qian stumbled on her buttocks, it didn¡¯t hurt too much. As soon as she put her hands on her hips and before she got up, the girls fell over one by one. These girls were also Wang Qian¡¯s sidekicks in her previous life, and they were all very vicious when they bullied others. In the previous life, Zhang Yansheng had also been fighting with this small group, but in this regard, there was always a subtle aura of disagreement ¡ª others came up to say otherwise, but if Wang Qian and the others took the initiative to bully people, Zhang Yansheng would not take action. Not only did she refuse to help, she would stop when she saw them going too far. But her family is the richest, she is the most beautiful, and she is really powerful, literally, so the girls are a little afraid of her and will not get into conflict with her. They usually follow Wang Qian¡¯s instructions, but if Zhang Yansheng says ¡°No¡±, then it will really not work. And almost all of them like Xu Lichen. In the previous life, Zhang Yansheng, Wang Qian, and these girls were such a combination. As soon as this small group graduated, they scattered like birds and beasts. And Zhang Yansheng didn¡¯t wait for graduation at all. She was expelled from school as soon as she arrived in her third year of high school. Xu Lichen was also expelled. On the contrary, Wang Qian was the only who stayed in Yi High School. But the three of them still stuck together until the end of high school, and two of them went abroad. Including Wang Qian, none of these girls expected that Zhang Yansheng from Class 2 would be so powerful. Has she been trained? Don¡¯t look at the girls who usually bully the weak and are very fierce when they are young. If they really meet people who have been trained and have real force value, they will be discouraged in an instant. Someone wanted to run immediately! Zhang Yansheng lifted her leg and stepped on the door frame of the women¡¯s toilet. A long, straight, and beautiful leg stood in the way, blocking the way. The girls didn¡¯t dare to push in. Someone asked tremblingly: ¡°You, what do you want to do?¡± Zhang Yan sneered and said, ¡°That should be my line, right? What do you want to do when you drag me here?¡± Although Zhang Yansheng guessed that Wang Qian wanted to teach her a lesson and get rid of her because of Xu Lichen, she was really curious about what Wang Qian wanted to do to her. She glanced at one girl and called her name: ¡°Zou Zihan, you tell me!¡± The girl who was called was startled: ¡°How do you know my name?¡± Zhang Yansheng¡¯s mouth hooked up, breaking her wrists, and making a clicking sound: ¡°When I ask you something, just answer, don¡¯t talk so much nonsense!¡± Zou Zihan is the most cowardly among these girls, so Zhang Yansheng specifically named her. Sure enough, when Zhang Yansheng scared her, she was frightened and stammered: ¡°We, we want you to drink toilet water¡­¡± Wang Qian tugged her anxiously: ¡°You f*cking stupid!¡± She was at a disadvantage. Why do you have to tell her the truth? Sure enough, Zhang Yansheng¡¯s face turned cold. Even in the previous life, Zhang Yansheng adhered to the bottom line and would not take the initiative to use force against others, but if others came to her first, Zhang Yansheng would never be bullied. She knows Wang Qian and several people well. Bullying and drinking toilet water are only one of the most critical aspects. As for slapping, pulling hair, and verbal insults, they are definitely indispensable. Oh, that¡¯s right. There is also the use of cigarettes to burn people. Wang Qian once wanted to burn a girl¡¯s face with a cigarette. Although the other party was also a bad girl, Zhang Yansheng went over and knocked out the cigarette in her hand. At that time, there was a moment when Zhang Yansheng felt that Wang Qian was about to flip out and go berserk at her, but Wang Qian still held back. Wang Qian¡¯s endurance has always been better than hers. In retrospect, some behaviors of adolescent girls really cannot find logic. The two girls who looked at each other and were already disgusted with each other stubbornly declared that they were ¡®best friends¡¯, stubbornly stuck together all day long, going in and out together, and had to deduce a plastic affection with a bit of sincerity. But because of this, Zhang Yansheng was able to get to know Wang Qian deeply. You can¡¯t show weakness to Wang Qian because she will step on people to the end, so you have to let her know that you are not easy to provoke in order to put an end to the trouble. Zhang Yansheng tugged at the corners of her mouth, her smile was cool, and she closed the door of the women¡¯s toilet with a ¡°bang¡±¡­ When she was on the escalator and was about to return to the subway exit, Xu Lichen appeared. She saw that he was running in a hurry, then he climbed up the stairs again, wheezing and panting. Zhang Yansheng understood after thinking about it, he is like a hero who wanted to save a beauty. She can¡¯t help but think that it was a little funny and a little cute. When she put on her sunglasses and walked out of the subway station, she suddenly felt relieved somewhere in her heart. When she was 15 years old, she actually really liked Xu Lichen. However, she was squeezed by Wang Qian¡¯s words, and in order to preserve her ¡®loyalty¡¯, she could only refuse Xu Lichen. The three of them spent the three years of high school in a mess. After the two of them went abroad, everyone seemed to have a tacit understanding. No one contacted anyone and their communication was all cut off. At that time, she really didn¡¯t live well enough to understand and didn¡¯t even know what she wanted. Of course, Zhang Yansheng is rich and has a lot of money, so there is no shortage of ¡®friends¡¯ wherever she goes, but in retrospect, there is always such a little regret. Now that her life is back, Zhang Yansheng, who has ¡®grown up¡¯, naturally can¡¯t look up to Xu Lichen, who is inexperienced and has still the mind of a second-grader1Öжþ ¨C second grade ¨C The original meaning is the second grade of junior high school/middle school. Now it also refers to people who are mentally immature and have grown up, but their thoughts and behaviors are still like junior high school students (rebellious, like delusions, etc.). It refers to a second-grade disease as well. in middle school. But seeing the anxiety and concern in the boy¡¯s eyes, the little regrets of her youth suddenly faded away. At that age, there is no need to ask for any results. It is enough to have developments and memories. When Xu Lichen came down, he found the girls crying. Their hair was all wet, and the collars, shoulders, and chests of their clothes were all wet as well. Everyone was embarrassed, including Wang Qian. Xu Lichen had guessed from Zhang Yansheng¡¯s attitude that Wang Qian and the others might not be able to suppress her, but he didn¡¯t expect them to be so miserable. ¡°Heh.¡± He crossed his arms and blocked them in the narrow aisle between the men¡¯s and women¡¯s bathrooms. ¡°Did you dive into the water as a group?¡± Almost all of these girls like him and they all want to disappear on the spot. They all don¡¯t want to be seen by him in such embarrassment. Someone cried: ¡°Zhang Yansheng bullied us¡­¡± These people are very good in the class, and suddenly they said that they were ¡®bullied¡¯. Xu Lichen found it a bit funny: ¡°How did she bully you?¡± ¡°She, she pressed our heads in the pool¡­¡± The girl said and cried again. ¡°¡­¡± Xu Lichen asked, ¡°In the toilet?¡± ¡°No! In the sink!¡± the girls said hurriedly. They weren¡¯t pushed into the toilet, it was disgusting. You can¡¯t carry this kind of pot and you will be laughed at until you graduate! Xu Lichen is also a tyrant. He is familiar with the routines of these ¡®teaching¡¯ people a lesson. When he heard that the sink is not a toilet, he knew that Zhang Yansheng was merciful. But how did she deal with so many girls alone? That¡¯s pretty awesome. Xu Lichen was no longer curious about what happened to them, and directly asked what he wanted to know: ¡°Why did you call Zhang Yansheng down here?¡± He looked a bit fierce when he asked, Wang Qian bit her lip and didn¡¯t speak, but the other girls twitched and said, ¡°We want to teach her a lesson¡­¡± Xu Lichen¡¯s face sank and asked, ¡°How did Zhang Yansheng provoke you?¡± Among these people, Zou Zihan cried particularly fiercely, and was particularly aggrieved, twisting her wet hair, sobbing and saying: ¡°We are here to vent your anger. She caused you to be punished, she¡¯s too cheap!¡± Xu Lichen¡¯s face was gloomy, then suddenly he kicked on the door of the men¡¯s bathroom with a loud bang! The girls were taken aback. ¡°It¡¯s none of your business! It¡¯s not your turn to stand up for me!¡± Xu Lichen said fiercely, ¡°I¡¯ll leave my words here! Whoever dares to touch Zhang Yansheng again, I will give her a big slap in the face!¡± ¡°But¡­¡± ¡°No more buts!¡± The young man was a bit fierce, ¡°It¡¯s not your turn to take care of me and Zhang Yansheng¡¯s affairs! Take care of yourself first! A group of ugly monsters! Who took the lead?¡± His attitude was scary, not the same as usual in the class. The girls were scared and looked at Wang Qian one after another. Wang Qian couldn¡¯t hide, so she could only bite the bullet, stood up and said, ¡°It¡¯s me.¡± Xu Lichen stared at her. ¡°You didn¡¯t do anything to her, why would she¡­¡± Wang Qian said, ¡°Come up and give you a punishment. I¡¯m so angry, why?¡± Without saying a word, Xu Lichen kicked on the wall beside her! With a bang, leaving a big footprint! Wang Qian closed her mouth in fright and took a step back. ¡°Because I like her.¡± Xu Lichen sneered, ¡°You¡¯re f*cking too controlling. Take care of yourself first. Don¡¯t send me so many messages at night. I don¡¯t have that much time to reply to you.¡± When Xu Lichen said this, everyone¡¯s eyes changed when they looked at Wang Qian. Didn¡¯t she say that no one is allowed to chase Xu Lichen, nor are other girls in the school allowed to chase Xu Lichen? This was initiated by Wang Qian! Why does she keep sending messages to Xu Lichen herself? What kind of message did she send him at night? She can¡¯t just discuss homework topics! What else did she do aside from flirting? F*ck! CH 55 Wang Qian was trembling with anger. She was indeed flirting with Xu Lichen, that¡¯s right, but Xu Lichen didn¡¯t refuse it either! How confused a person can be to this kind of ambiguous thing?! This is a matter that involves two people! However, she couldn¡¯t give an explanation to everyone¡¯s suspicion and accusing eyes. Indeed, she herself violated the agreement. But she doesn¡¯t believe she¡¯s the only one! She didn¡¯t believe that a few of them hadn¡¯t sneaked up to flirt with Xu Lichen! Each of them don¡¯t need to pretend to be a white lotus! Wang Qian¡¯s angry and resentful gaze shot over, and Xu Lichen only let out a contemptuous snort from his nose, ignored these group of girls, then he turned around and left. He didn¡¯t know which girl behind him cried out with a ¡°woo¡± sound. Xu Lichen didn¡¯t look back either. He did it on purpose. There are no secrets in their class, Wang Qian and this small group¡¯s ¡®agreement¡¯ has long been heard by him. But Wang Qian, the leader, kept moving in private. Wang Qian also looks good; she is a beautiful girl. Of course, Xu Lichen didn¡¯t mind if another beautiful girl came to be ambiguous with him. At this time, he threw the matter out which dumped Wang Qian to the bottom. Xu Lichen has never been a kind person. He reached the platform of the escalator and stood there, remembering how Zhang Yansheng smiled at him just now, then put on his sunglasses and waved away. That look had been engraved in his mind. Obviously, they are all at the same age, but how can she be so different from other girls? Zhang Yansheng returned home and kept staring at Zhang Heling during dinner. She looked at Zhang Heling. Zhang Heling cautiously asked: ¡°Sister? Is there something wrong?¡± Zhang Shuocheng held a bowl, his eyes rolled, and he smiled: ¡°You are screwed! Sister is going to beat your ass!¡± Zhang Heling was taken aback and said angrily: ¡°You are talking nonsense!¡± Zhang Shuocheng was very sure: ¡°When she was about to beat me up, she just stared at me like that!¡± Zhang Heling: ¡°¡­¡± When she looked at Zhang Yansheng again, there was a little anxiety in her eyes. Zhang Yansheng stretched out a hand and clasped them on Zhang Shuocheng¡¯s head: ¡°Eat your meal!¡± Zhang Huan almost laughed but held back, he tried to scare Zhang Heling: ¡°What have you done? Think about it! Hurry up and admit your mistake to your sister.¡± Zhang Heling couldn¡¯t tell if the adult was serious or joking, and she was even more confused: ¡°I, I didn¡¯t do anything¡­ let me think about it¡­¡± She obviously didn¡¯t do anything, but when she was frightened by someone¡¯s words, she didn¡¯t feel confident anymore. This character is terrible! Zhang Yansheng said unhappily, ¡°They are just teasing you. When did I say I¡¯m going to beat you?¡± Zhang Heling breathed a sigh of relief and gave Zhang Shuocheng a stern look. Zhang Shuocheng pulled his eyes down: ¡°L¨¹¨¨ l¨¹¨¨ l¨¹¨¨.¡± Zhang Huan laughed loudly. The little daughter is so funny. Liang Yingying watched the interaction of the ¡®family¡¯ and rolled her eyes secretly. Since Liang Zheng¡¯s incident, Zhang Huan has not given her a good face. She later wanted to discipline Zhang Shuocheng, but failed and retreated, which made Zhang Huan angry in vain. She is very low-key now, and if she says more, she will make more mistakes. She would rather not speak because she doesn¡¯t want to make Zhang Huan upset anymore. The others at the dining table were talking and laughing, while she wondered if she would change her hairstyle to create a little freshness for Zhang Huan, lest he become tired of her appearance¡­ After eating, Zhang Yansheng hooked her finger to Zhang Heling: ¡°You, follow me.¡± Zhang Shuocheng: ¡°You¡¯re going to be beaten! You¡¯re going to be beaten!¡± Without waiting for Zhang Heling to come after him, he ran away first. Zhang Heling stomped her feet with anger, and knowing that Zhang Yansheng had no patience, she hurriedly chased after her upstairs, and followed her into the room. After entering the room and sitting down, Zhang Yansheng asked her, ¡°Is there any bullying in your school?¡± Zhang Heling breathed a sigh of relief: ¡°No, our school is very good.¡± Zhang Yansheng asked again, ¡°Is anyone bullying you?¡± Today, Wang Qian and a group of girls tried to ¡®teach¡¯ her a lesson, reminding her of the stupid things these girls did in middle school. When she went home and saw Zhang Heling again, she suddenly became worried. This girl¡¯s personality is too soft. If she is to meet someone like Wang Qian, she¡¯s the kind who will be bullied to death and dare not resist, right? Zhang Heling shook her head like a rattle: ¡°No, how could anyone bully me?¡± Zhang Yansheng breathed a sigh of relief, and suddenly remembered Zhang Heling¡¯s character. In case others bullied her, she couldn¡¯t even notice that she was being ¡®bullied¡¯, right? Isn¡¯t that what she is like at home? She has become accustomed to the unfair treatment of her for a long time, and she doesn¡¯t feel any wrong about it. Zhang Yansheng thought for a while and said, ¡°Bullying is not necessarily beating you, it may also be something else. For example, using nasty words to talk to you, or deliberately stealing your friends so that everyone is not nice to you, or something else. Anyway, if this matter keeps making you feel uncomfortable and unhappy, it may be a bullying. Think about it, have you experienced something like that?¡± When she said this, Zhang Heling really showed a look of hesitation on her face. Zhang Yansheng frowned. ¡°There is a boy¡­¡± Zhang Heling said hesitantly, ¡°I hate him.¡± Zhang Yansheng asked in a deep voice, ¡°What did he do to you?¡± If the dead boy dared to bully her sister, she would blow his head! ¡°He just¡­ well, how do you say it?¡± Zhang Heling scratched her head in annoyance and looked around, she used Zhang Yansheng¡¯s cellphone on the coffee table as an example. ¡°That¡¯s it. For example, this is a pen or a ruler. I will put it here horizontally and he will change it to a vertical position. If I put it in the horizontal position again, then he¡¯ll change it into vertical again, and it was endless, super annoying.¡± Zhang Yansheng: ¡°¡­¡± Zhang Heling continued: ¡°He would always give me nicknames, too. If I tie my hair into a ponytail, he will call me a ponytail. And if I put it in a braid, he will call me twisted dough.¡± ¡°Ah, that¡¯s right!¡± Zhang Heling said angrily, ¡°He sometimes pulls my braids, which is super annoying!¡± Zhang Yansheng carefully asked for verification: ¡°Did he hurt you?¡± ¡°Well, no, he was not forceful.¡± Zhang Heling said, ¡°He¡¯s just very annoying, I¡¯m super annoyed by him. I am angry at him every day.¡± ¡°Does he do those things to others too?¡± Zhang Yansheng continued to verify. ¡°No!¡± Speaking of this, Zhang Heling became even more angry, ¡°He only treated me like this, which is especially hateful!¡± Zhang Heling finished speaking and asked her sister: ¡°Sister, is he bullying me?¡± Zhang Yansheng¡¯s expression was subtle. Her little sister¡¯s big questioning eyes are shiny, her small mouth is pink, and her skin is white. Although Zhang Yansheng had never been to Zhang Heling¡¯s school, she dares to guarantee that Zhang Heling¡¯s face value must be the same as her academic performance in the class, at least in the top three. Moreover, in the fourth grade, her younger sister began to develop, and it is normal for those brats to start showing their admiration to a young lady. Recalling that when she was in the fourth and fifth grades, her classmates were already talking about who liked whom. Facing her sister¡¯s humble inquiry, when her sister¡¯s eyes were erratic, her tongue was on top of her cheeks, she finally said, ¡°Do you want him not to bother you again?¡± Zhang Heling nodded heavily: ¡°Yes!¡± ¡°Okay, then I¡¯ll teach you.¡± Zhang Yansheng said, ¡°By the way, what is the name of this boy?¡± ¡°Qin Hao.¡± Zhang Yansheng nodded: ¡°Next time, if he annoys you, you will stare into his eyes, remember to stare straight at him, you can¡¯t leak an air, and then¡­¡± Zhang Heling concentrated and held her breath, listening attentively to the moves her sister taught her. ¡°Then, you have to ask him,¡± Zhang Yansheng stared into Zhang Heling¡¯s eyes and said, ¡°Qin Hao¡­ do you like me?¡± ¡°¡­¡± Zhang Heling let out a broken raised tone, ¡°Huh???¡± The sister who saw through everything smiled and touched her head: ¡°Believe me, for this kind of elementary school chicken, you have to kill it with one blow. By the way, Dad mentioned it to me once before, and I think you should also learn taekwondo¡­¡± However, her elementary student sister was too shocked to listen¡­ The next day, Zhang Yansheng got out of the car behind the subway station and walked in the direction of the school. Just walking past the entrance of the subway station, she heard someone calling her: ¡°Zhang Yansheng!¡± Zhang Yansheng turned her head. Xu Lichen stood with his back against the wall of the subway station, his hands in his trouser pockets, one long leg pressed diagonally against the other. One of the girls from Yi High School, who came out of the subway station, saw him and couldn¡¯t help but look back at him while walking. One girl didn¡¯t see the steps under her feet and she staggered to the ground, so she blushed and ran away quickly. Xu Lichen, on the other hand, maintained this handsome posture for several seconds, so that Zhang Yansheng could see clearly, before standing up straight and stepping forward, he walked towards her with a smile. Zhang Yansheng: ¡°¡­¡± Zhang Yansheng looked far away. This is the reason why Zhang Yansheng now looks down on the current Xu Lichen ¡ª this handsome and cool 15-year-old guy, in the eyes of an adult Zhang Yansheng, she can see the second-grader qi that are coming out of the soles of his feet. She thought that he was acting in a youth idol drama all day long! When the adults looked at them, it was too embarrassing! ¡°You left before I had time to speak yesterday.¡± Xu Lichen complained. Although it was a complaint, the tone was intimate and gentle. There has been a significant change from before, and those superior mentality and strong attitudes are gone. ¡°¡­¡± Zhang Yansheng smiled, ¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡± Xu Lichen fixed his hair handsomely and said, ¡°I want to apologize to you.¡± Zhang Yansheng¡¯s face became even more wooden: ¡°What are you apologizing for?¡± Xu Lichen said, ¡°Just for what Wang Qian and the others did.¡± Zhang Yansheng raised her eyebrows: ¡°Wang Qian is your girlfriend? So, you¡¯re apologizing for her?¡± ¡°I have nothing to do with her.¡± Xu Lichen immediately dismissed, ¡°She was chasing me despite knowing that I¡¯m pursuing you. Since I received a punishment, she was angry and wanted to teach you a lesson. Speaking of it, it¡¯s still because of me, so I want to apologize to you.¡± Zhang Yansheng only looked at him, and there didn¡¯t seem to be any mood swings. In her previous life, she rejected Xu Lichen and proposed to be friends only, and Xu Lichen agreed. Looking at it, it seemed that he was satisfied with the next best thing. But in fact, this kid might have thought in his heart that in their three-person relationship, he was hugging both left and right, with great pleasure. Zhang Yansheng can see through an old man like Zhang Huan in this life, and when she looks at other men, even a second-grader teenager like Xu Lichen, she can clearly see their inferior nature as men. She sneered. ¡°Since she is not your girlfriend, what she does has nothing to do with you!¡± She turned and walked towards the school, ¡°Don¡¯t f*cking pretend to be a saint of love in front of me!¡± CH 56 Xu Lichen stood there with his mouth open, only to react for a long time, and strode after her: ¡°Zhang Yansheng!¡± There was a look of excitement on his face. ¡°You turned out to be such a person.¡± He said, ¡°It¡¯s so different from what I thought.¡± Zhang Yansheng snorted, and walked forward with her long legs, without paying attention to him. Xu Lichen didn¡¯t care either, he was thick-skinned. Zhang Yansheng ignored him, so he could only talk to himself. ¡°I thought you were one of those really good students. The kind who doesn¡¯t speak profanity or curse at other people and someone who is well-cultured. In the end, not only do you curse, but you can also fight. Yesterday, Wang Qian and the other girls weren¡¯t able to beat you.¡± He smiled slyly, ¡°If I knew that you were like that, I shouldn¡¯t have tried to be in front of you.¡± ¡°It¡¯s useless to do it anyway.¡± Zhang Yansheng sneered, ¡°I know exactly what kind of person you are.¡± ¡°Oh? So, you are paying attention to me then?¡± Xu Lichen¡¯s eyes lit up. Zhang Yansheng found that she had said the wrong thing, so she changed her words and said, ¡°I don¡¯t need to pay attention. For people like you, I can see through it at first glance.¡± ¡°Then, if you really have seen through me¡­¡± Xu Lichen stepped in front of Zhang Yansheng and blocked her way. The corners of his mouth raised evilly, ¡°Can you tell how much do I like you?¡± Zhang Yansheng: ¡°¡­¡± D*mn! What kind of earthy love words is this? Little fool, why do you pretend to be a domineering president?! Zhang Yansheng got goosebumps on her arms! But she remembered that Xu Lichen was like this, and at that time, when she was in high school, the girls all liked his evil charm and crazy style. At that time, Zhang Yansheng also fell for it. Zhang Yansheng¡¯s face flushed strangely, and it looked particularly sultry in the early morning. Xu Lichen looked at her with bright eyes and a flash of triumph in her eyes. He didn¡¯t know that Zhang Yansheng was¡­ just embarrassed for how she was in high school in the past. There are unbearable memories in the past that you can¡¯t look back on, you can¡¯t really stand that time when you are still self-righteous and stupid, there¡¯s too much of black history that you wish should have never happened at all. On Xu Lichen¡¯s fairly handsome face, there was ¡®self¡¯ written on the left side and ¡®righteous¡¯ written on the right, so Zhang Yansheng didn¡¯t want to see him at all. She passed by and waved behind him: ¡°Hey, classmate!¡± Xu Lichen turned his head and saw a boy who turned his head when he heard the shout. He seemed a little surprised. He was not sure if Zhang Yansheng was calling him. It was him who Zhang Yansheng called out to. She saw him at a glance just now, his face was familiar, and she knew that he was from her own class, but she hadn¡¯t remembered his name yet, so she could only call him ¡®classmate¡¯. She bypassed Xu Lichen who was standing in front of her, walked quickly to the boy, smiled, and said, ¡°Good morning.¡± ¡°Ah, good morning!¡± The boy was a little nervous, and he hurriedly returned the greetings to Zhang Yansheng. Zhang Yansheng didn¡¯t actually remember the boy¡¯s name. He is quite tall, sitting in the last row, and a few rows away from Zhang Yansheng, he is relatively far away. Now, Zhang Yansheng is more familiar with the circle of classmates and a few class leaders, but she¡¯s not yet familiar with the students who are in the remote corners. However, Zhang Yansheng was not nervous and she asked the boy calmly: ¡°I missed a little bit of my Physics notes yesterday. Can you lend me a copy of your notes later?¡± ¡°Sure.¡± The boy agreed, ¡°I¡¯ll give it to you in the classroom.¡± Zhang Yansheng left Xu Lichen behind and entered the school side by side with the boy. Xu Lichen snorted and also entered the school. But when he heard someone calling ¡°Wang Qian¡± behind him, he turned his head and glanced. He didn¡¯t know when Wang Qian appeared, and she was not that far. There was indignation in her eyes that she couldn¡¯t hide. She should have seen Xu Lichen and Zhang Yansheng walking away while talking together just now. When Xu Lichen first entered school, he thought Wang Qian was very beautiful, and he thought about chasing her. Later, he found that Zhang Yansheng was more beautiful, so he started to chase Zhang Yansheng, but he was also ambiguous with Wang Qian. A scumbag like him would take this kind of thing as a pleasure in life. But now, he found that he had completely lost his attraction to Wang Qian. This is still because of the comparison. Compared with other girls, Wang Qian has a stronger taste. But compared with Zhang Yansheng, she is not delicious enough. Zhang Yansheng has a feeling of being different from other girls. Xu Lichen felt that he was becoming more and more attracted to her. This attraction is so strong that he can ignore other girls and pay attention to her alone. Looking at Wang Qian again, the anger in her eyes had disappeared, and she bit her lip slightly, as if she had been wronged or let down. It seemed that the look of anger just now was only in Xu Lichen¡¯s illusion. If it were other boys, it would be really easy to be moved by Wang Qian. Unfortunately, Xu Lichen is not an ordinary boy. He is a natural scumbag. Wang Qian¡¯s acting skills really can¡¯t fool him. Of course, none of them knew that in her previous life, Wang Qian had become Zhang Yansheng¡¯s best friend by relying on her acting skills, and Zhang Yansheng could only refuse Xu Lichen because of her verbal skills. In the end, it became a three-person relationship. Later, as the days passed and they became more and more acquainted with each other, Xu Lichen¡¯s initial thoughts of hugging left and right gradually turned to Zhang Yansheng. He also persuaded Zhang Yansheng not to trust Wang Qian too much. It¡¯s a pity that Zhang Yansheng couldn¡¯t leave this ¡®best friend¡¯ just because Wang Qian and her ¡®share the same hatred¡¯ and verbally crusade against the old demon Liang Yingying and her step siblings in the family. After all, Zhang Yansheng was a teenage girl at that time. She didn¡¯t have the education and guidance of her mother like other girls. She was so aggrieved by her complicated family situation and she was particularly paranoid. When people are paranoid, they tend to listen and hear what they only wanted to hear. Even if Zhang Yansheng knew that Wang Qian had done all kinds of bad things, she still insisted on being ¡®best friend¡¯ with her. In this life, Zhang Yansheng finally no longer has to maintain the plastic sisterhood with Wang Qian, and the three-person relationship is no longer possible. Zhang Yansheng no longer looked up to Xu Lichen, who was still young and self-righteous. However, Xu Lichen still liked her, and was even more attracted to her faster than in her previous life. Wang Qian is still the same as she was in her previous life. Xu Lichen should have liked her instead, but he was ¡®robbed¡¯ by Zhang Yansheng, so she couldn¡¯t let go. Xu Lichen glanced at Wang Qian, who was aggrieved and resentful, but he no longer likes her. He snorted, turned his head, and walked into the school. Anger flashed in Wang Qian¡¯s eyes again, and she was even more unwilling. From childhood to adulthood, there is nothing she can¡¯t get whenever she wants something. She can be friends with whoever she wants to be friends with; she can make anyone lose her friends if she wants her to have no friends. She doesn¡¯t believe that she will tumble in high school. The person calling her came quickly, walked to her, sniffed and asked, ¡°Are you okay? I seem to have a cold.¡± This girl was also one of the people who was pushed into the sink by Zhang Yansheng yesterday. When she said this, Wang Qian¡¯s new hatred and old hatred for Zhang Yansheng had risen from yesterday and today, and she felt angry in her heart early in the morning. She couldn¡¯t suppress her anger, said ¡°I don¡¯t have cold¡±, and strode into the school. Zhang Yansheng and the unnamed boy arrived in the classroom. The boy opened his schoolbag and immediately handed her the notes Zhang Yansheng wanted: ¡°Here it is.¡± Zhang Yansheng took it, thanked him, and said, ¡°Thank you, I will finish copying it right away, and I will return it to you as soon as possible.¡± ¡°No need to hurry.¡± The boy said, ¡°Physics is in the fourth class, so don¡¯t worry, concentrate on the morning test first.¡± There will be a small test in the morning¡¯s self-study every day, which is called a daily test. Every day, students start their morning in a tight state of study. ¡°Okay, thank you.¡± Zhang Yansheng smiled. The boy hesitated for a moment and whispered, ¡°I am, my name is Zhang Zhiyuan.¡± She didn¡¯t even know his family name and it was suddenly given. Zhang Yansheng didn¡¯t change her face and said, ¡°It¡¯s a coincidence. My surname is Zhang. My name is¡­¡± ¡°Zhang Yansheng, I know.¡± The boy said, his ears turned slightly red. This is a normal 15-year-old boy. Although young, he is very cute. What kind of stuff is Xu Lichen who thinks that he is a master of the flowers at a young age? Zhang Yansheng wants to roll her eyes now when she thinks about it. Just watching Zhang Zhiyuan hurried back to his seat, she felt that the name seemed familiar. After thinking about it, she can¡¯t remember it for a while. Forget it, it must be the teacher who asked him to answer questions in class, so it felt familiar to her. Zhang Yansheng didn¡¯t bother to think about it, and opened Zhang Zhiyuan¡¯s notes, ready to make up what she had missed ¡ª she didn¡¯t deliberately talk nonsense just to get rid of Xu Lichen, she really did miss some contents yesterday. She was thinking about going to the school to find students who were nearby to borrow notes. When she saw Zhang Zhiyuan at the school gate, she realized that she was running out of time, so she just asked him instead. But when Zhang Yansheng opened Zhang Zhiyuan¡¯s notes, she couldn¡¯t help but gasp. She flipped through a lot of pages, and she was pretty sure that this was really the neatest, beautiful, and clean notes she had ever seen. First of all, Zhang Yansheng was amazed by that good handwriting. Zhang Yansheng¡¯s writing is also pretty good. In the past, when her mother was alive, she let her practice with all her might. When she was in elementary school, she was already writing in a stylish font. With a good foundation, she definitely got more improvements, so her writing became better and better. Xu Lichen wrote badly like a dog crawling. Zhang Yansheng laughed at him a lot in her previous life. But Zhang Zhiyuan¡¯s writing is more than beautiful. His notes are so clean, they don¡¯t look like notes written by a boy. She did not only recognize that it¡¯s complete, the sequencing is very clear as well. He also used pens of different colors to distinguish the key points, and he also marked the points that were easy to make mistakes. This looks¡­ so comfortable to the eyes! Zhang Yansheng suddenly closed the notes and glanced at the name on the cover of the notebook ¡ª Zhang Zhiyuan. She remembered now! No wonder with 40 classmates in the class, she would find this name familiar! Zhang Zhiyuan was the top scorer in the college entrance examination! He was admitted to a Top 2 University in the country after the college entrance examination! Zhang Yansheng was later expelled from Yi High School, and Zhang Huan found her a private school. She wanted to abandon the college entrance examination, but she went there anyway, got a bad score in the exam, and spent money to go to a local pheasant university. When the college entrance examination scores came out that year, her cousin Zhang Qi called her specifically to ask how well she did in the exam. Thinking of it now, she was full of malice, it¡¯s not like she didn¡¯t know how Zhang Yansheng did in her three years of high school. She is a dignified K University student who made this call specially, and the sarcasm was too obvious. But it was on that phone call where Zhang Qi said: ¡°This year¡¯s top scorer in the college entrance examination came from our K City. He is from Yi High School. What was his name again? Oh, Zhang Zhiyuan, his score is really good. I heard that he has been admitted to Qing University. You really shouldn¡¯t have left the Yi High School, sigh¡­¡± Zhang Yansheng couldn¡¯t bear it at that time, so she hung up the call. Yes, she was the one who was always absent from the classes, she was the one who played truant, she was the one who fought, and she was the one who was expelled. However, she was not proud of it in her heart. Whenever she went to the small hall on the first floor, her eyes would always unconsciously avoid the wall that was once covered with her award certificates. When she was young, she used to boast to her mother, saying that she would get into a Top 2 University when she grew up. Later, she also knew that the path she was taking was going in the wrong direction, but she was unable to change the direction as she was walking along that road. Fortunately, there is a chance to start all over again in this life. CH 57 What Zhang Yansheng couldn¡¯t believe was that Zhang Zhiyuan, the provincial champion of that year, was not in the top class, but was actually mixed in the preparatory class. It¡¯s so surprising, and so when she returned his notebook, she could not help saying: ¡°You have such a good score, so why are you here in the preparatory classes?¡± Zhang Zhiyuan said in surprise: ¡°The results of the monthly exam have already come out?¡± They have just finished the monthly exam, and the overall score ranking has not yet come out. Zhang Yansheng knew that she had made a mistake, so she covered it up and said, ¡°It would probably come out in the afternoon, right? I mean, I just think that you remember your notes so well, so your learning habits must be very good and your grades should be very good.¡± Zhang Zhiyuan smiled shyly and said, ¡°It was okay in middle school, but Yi High School is the best high school in K City, so¡­ you see.¡± It¡¯s said that the school tyrants are very hypocritical. Their ¡®okay¡¯ is not the same thing as your ¡®okay¡¯. If you take it seriously, you will be stupid. Zhang Yansheng understood the meaning of his words, and roughly guessed that he should be one of the top students from the middle school. But since Yi High School was at the tip of the K City pyramid, he entered and became an ¡®ordinary outstanding¡¯ student. But a good and hardworking person can¡¯t hide his edge. In the next three years, this boy will still stand out and show his brilliance. It was the same three years, others¡¯ three years and her own three years¡­ Zhang Yansheng became silent. ¡°Zhang Yansheng?¡± Zhang Zhiyuan asked a little worried, ¡°Are you okay?¡± ¡°I¡¯m okay, I was just distracted.¡± Zhang Yansheng smiled and returned the notebook to him, ¡°I took photos of your notes, as I also want to learn the method on how you take notes.¡± Zhang Zhiyuan smiled embarrassedly. When Zhang Yansheng walked away, he quietly let out a sigh of relief and really relaxed. The boy in the next seat winked at him. Zhang Zhiyuan¡¯s ears turned a bit red. In the afternoon, the results of the first monthly exam came out. Zhang Yansheng¡¯s expression was very bad ¡ª her total score is ranked within the bottom five of the class, she is hanging by a thread. According to the placement rules of Yi High School, it is adjusted on the middle of semester. If someone in the ordinary class surpasses their grades, the students at the bottom ranking will be pushed down. For teenagers, this kind of last-place elimination system is really cruel. Even for the reborn Zhang Yansheng, it was¡­ very stressful. Zhang Yansheng deliberately took a look at Zhang Zhiyuan¡¯s grades, and it turned out to be much better than her. But it¡¯s not particularly good, as you consider it as average in Class 2. So, there¡¯s really someone who spent three years trying to become a champion. Zhang Yansheng couldn¡¯t help but turned her head and glanced in Zhang Zhiyuan¡¯s direction, she unexpectedly met Zhang Zhiyuan¡¯s gaze. The boy was a little nervous, and quickly looked away, pretending to be reading a textbook. It¡¯s just that the page turning speed is a bit too fast. He has thick eyebrows and big eyes, but he is shy and obscure, a little cute. Zhang Yansheng couldn¡¯t help but hook the corners of her mouth. When she walked out of the school gate after school, she suddenly heard someone calling her behind her. Zhang Yansheng turned her head, Zhang Zhiyuan ran over, and handed her a square folded thing: ¡°Um¡­ this is my physics paper, you can take it back for reference.¡± Zhang Yansheng looked at him in surprise. The boy scratched his head, a little shy, and said, ¡°I saw your result from the exam, and your physics score is particularly terrible. My, um, my physics score has always been okay, and my problem-solving ideas are relatively clear. You can take a look at it. It should be of some help.¡± Zhang Yansheng declared that she understood his kindness and said, ¡°How can you correct your mistakes if I take it away?¡± Correcting errors in the paper is also today¡¯s homework and will be handed in tomorrow. Zhang Zhiyuan said, ¡°I have already changed it.¡± He patted his schoolbag again and said, ¡°And I also took a picture of the wrong questions. I¡¯ll print it out later with a wrong question printer at home, so I can check them again.¡± Zhang Yansheng, a true student from her last life, felt that she had been exposed to a new world, so she asked, ¡°What is the wrong question printer?¡± Although she could guess it through the name, she was still surprised. ¡°Huh? You don¡¯t know?¡± Zhang Zhiyuan was also surprised, ¡°Wrong question printer, wrong question tape, don¡¯t you usually use it?¡± Zhang Yansheng thought to herself, she has never heard of it. But if she said this, she would be exposed to her academic trash attributes, and even Zhang Yansheng felt a little embarrassed. She only asked, ¡°Does it really work? If it works, I will buy one too.¡± ¡°It works well.¡± Zhang Zhiyuan said, ¡°I will give you the X Treasure link. Don¡¯t buy the wrong brand, some brands are not good.¡± ¡°Okay.¡± Zhang Yansheng said happily, ¡°You can add me to the class group chat.¡± ¡°Okay.¡± Zhang Zhiyuan asked, ¡°Which way are you going?¡± Zhang Yansheng was sloppy: ¡°I¡¯m going to the subway.¡± ¡°Oh, I¡¯m going this way.¡± Zhang Zhiyuan waved his hand, ¡°Then, bye.¡± ¡°I¡¯ll bring your paper back tomorrow, thank you.¡± Zhang Yansheng thanked him. Zhang Zhiyuan¡¯s ears turned red again: ¡°It¡¯s nothing, it¡¯s nothing.¡± Only then did she separate from Zhang Zhiyuan, and after walking a few steps, Xu Lichen followed. ¡°You¡¯re very popular.¡± He joked with a smile. Zhang Yansheng ignored him, put on her sunglasses, and strode forward. Xu Lichen also put on a pair of sunglasses and followed her. Yi High School requires school uniforms to be worn on Mondays, and casual clothes are allowed on other days. On the way to the subway, you can see some high school students wearing casual clothes, but only the two of them are wearing sunglasses. Moreover, the temperaments of these two people are very different from those of other students, and both seem to be¡­ not very student-like. One looks cold and aloof, the other looks very social. From the others¡¯ views, they felt that the two of them, no matter how they dress or their temperament, are actually a very good match. Compared with the two of them, the other students always seemed a little bit childish. ¡°Is he from your class?¡± Xu Lichen asked her. Zhang Yansheng said, ¡°None of your business.¡± Xu Lichen is a very jealous guy. This was the case in the previous life. Although he was above the level of a friend but not a lover, if Zhang Yansheng paid more attention to a boy, he would be jealous. Seeing that the subway station was just in front of her, Zhang Yansheng stopped: ¡°Don¡¯t follow me!¡± When she faced Xu Lichen, she had all the advantages of her mental age, her familiarity with him in her previous life, and her own strong personality. So, she was not polite when speaking to him. But Xu Lichen didn¡¯t think so. He likes Zhang Yansheng¡¯s tone. At first, he only chased her because he thought she was beautiful. But now, he likes her as a person. He didn¡¯t care if Zhang Yansheng was fierce to him, and said with a smile: ¡°I¡¯m going home.¡± As if, his family doesn¡¯t live in this direction at all. But Zhang Yansheng had already begun to pay attention to her words, and did not intend to let Xu Lichen discover her linguistic loopholes again. This kid, speaking of it, is actually quite keen. He is not stupid, but just like Zhang Yansheng, he doesn¡¯t study well. Zhang Yansheng knew that Xu Lichen had always been such a ruffian. He had thick skin, and it didn¡¯t work to talk to him seriously. She rolled her eyes, tugged at the schoolbag strap, and continued to walk to the subway. Xu Lichen caught up with her and asked with a smile: ¡°Hey, I haven¡¯t asked you yet. Yesterday, you beat Wang Qian and the six of them by yourself, didn¡¯t you?¡± Zhang Yansheng said, ¡°Ask them.¡± Xu Lichen asked, ¡°You must have been trained, right? What did you train for?¡± Zhang Yansheng told him bluntly: ¡°You can¡¯t beat me.¡± Xu Lichen was shocked: ¡°What is the basis for your judgment? Let me tell you, I have also been trained.¡± When she went out to fight in her previous life, Wang Qian relied on the number of people to fight blindly. Xu Lichen was trained like Zhang Yansheng, and he was trained in free combat. Others are ruthless and black-handed, and they have a little reputation for fighting. In the previous life, Zhang Yansheng and his strength were almost on par, but Zhang Yansheng¡¯s strength has greatly increased in this life, and she estimates that Xu Lichen is no longer her opponent. She only said ¡°heh¡± without explaining. After walking through the subway station, Zhang Yansheng stopped again when she saw her car and the driver, Xiao Zhou. Another luxury car was parked end to end with her family¡¯s car, and Xiao Zhou was talking and laughing with the driver of that car. Zhang Yansheng already knew whose car and driver that is ¡ª Xu Lichen¡¯s car and Xu Lichen¡¯s driver. Zhang Yansheng took off her sunglasses and turned to look at Xu Lichen. Xu Lichen shrugged and spread his hands, and smiled ruffianly: ¡°Like I said, I am going home.¡± He really didn¡¯t lie. Wang Qian saw Xu Lichen standing there at the entrance of the school, watching Zhang Yansheng hook up with another boy she didn¡¯t know. The eyes and expressions of Xu Lichen looking at Zhang Yansheng made Wang Qian jealous and fascinated. She wanted to go, but hesitated. She said more than a dozen words to Xu Lichen earlier today, but Xu Lichen only casually answered her with one or two. Although she has always been able to bear it on her face, she is also very annoyed and secretly resentful in her heart. She got into her car and told the driver, ¡°Go to the subway.¡± The driver started the car, and then she said, ¡°Drive slowly.¡± She slowly followed Xu Lichen and Zhang Yansheng all the way, staring at them from the car. What is hateful and ridiculous is that Xu Lichen ignored her love in the class, but turned into a dog licking in front of Zhang Yansheng, but Zhang Yansheng also ignored him. Wang Qian felt happy and angry. Of course, this irritation was all listed down under Zhang Yansheng. It¡¯s after school now and there are many cars picking up children honking in their back. The driver drove slowly for a while, and the car behind them kept beeping at them, so he said helplessly: ¡°It¡¯s impossible, we¡¯re blocking the others.¡± As he said that, he started to speed up. At this moment, Wang Qian happened to see Zhang Yansheng stop and turned to look at Xu Lichen. Xu Lichen smiled and shrugged at her. Wang Qian also saw Xu Lichen¡¯s Maybach parked on the side of the road behind the subway station. Her driver drove across the intersection before the traffic lights changed, followed by the weaving crowd of people crossing the road, so she couldn¡¯t see anything. Wang Qian turned her head back and sneered. Just now, Zhang Yansheng ignored Xu Lichen all the way, very proud. But then, she didn¡¯t get into the subway and followed Xu Lichen to his car instead. Xu Lichen¡¯s car used to pick him up at the entrance of the school. Today, it suddenly stopped here on the subway, hiding under the covers. Maybe Zhang Yansheng was afraid that her classmates would see her sitting in Xu Lichen¡¯s car, so she deliberately asked him to stop here. She thought that Zhang Yansheng was such a noble goddess, but it turned out that¡­ she was just a gold digger. Wang Qian smiled contemptuously. Really? The goddess of perfection is impeccable; the woman who worships the gold is simply covered with holes. CH 58 There was another day of class on Wednesday, followed by the National Day holiday. Before the festival, Liang Yingying asked Zhang Huan if he wanted to go somewhere to have fun. Zhang Huan didn¡¯t give her a good face: ¡°You go and play with your little sisters. I still have my own business.¡± Liang Yingying immediately said, ¡°If you don¡¯t go, then I¡¯ll stay with you at home.¡± Zhang Huan was very cold to her: ¡°I have so many affairs and I need peace and quiet. You go play by yourself.¡± Liang Yingying carefully probed and found that Zhang Huan really refused to play with her, and didn¡¯t even want to see her at home. Liang Yingying was embarrassed and bitter, and finally made an appointment with her girlfriends to travel. Zhang Huan turned his head and said to Zhang Yansheng: ¡°Well, where should I take the three of you to play? Where do you want to go?¡± Zhang Yansheng held a glass, and asked without lifting his eyes: ¡°You don¡¯t need to accompany your little lover?¡± Zhang Huan smiled embarrassedly, and said with a shy face: ¡°You and Hehe are Dad¡¯s little sweethearts.¡± Zhang Yansheng got a mouthful of the drink stuck in her throat, and she couldn¡¯t swallow it anymore, making her vomit. When she finally swallowed it, she stood up and said: ¡°I don¡¯t have time, I have prior arrangements.¡± ¡°Oh, you¡¯ve made plans?¡± Zhang Huan, with a little regret, quickly relieved, and said lightly. ¡°Then, Dad will also arrange his own affairs. Do you have enough money to spend? Just tell me if it¡¯s not enough.¡± When the holiday came, Liang Yingying and Zhang Huan went to play abroad, as if they did not go separately. Zhang Yansheng only told Zhang Huan the day before he set off: ¡°This family has enough children.¡± Zhang Huan: ¡°???¡± Zhang Yansheng: ¡°I don¡¯t need more younger brothers and sisters. It¡¯s much better if you¡¯ll have a vasectomy.¡± At the age of 15, she was so naive that she thought Liang Yingying was really Zhang Huan¡¯s ¡®true love¡¯. Later, when she saw Zhang Huan holding a younger and more beautiful girl outside, she realized how ridiculous she was. In fact, Liang Yingying has never really held Zhang Huan¡¯s heart. She was just lucky. Not only did she give birth to a son, but she also ran into the death of his original partner. So, she was able to enter the family with her son honorably. She didn¡¯t seem to care about Zhang Huan¡¯s colorful flags fluttering outside. She was satisfied as long as her own red flag didn¡¯t fall. But Zhang Yansheng will never let herself die young again in this life. Since she wants to live well, she can¡¯t help but consider the possibility that her father will create new younger brothers and sisters for her. According to the degree of failure of his son, Zhang Shuocheng, if she were Zhang Huan, she would just abolish this account and start over. Zhang Huan couldn¡¯t hold on to his face and coughed: ¡°What are you talking about?!¡± Zhang Yansheng sneered: ¡°How do you think Hehe came here, do you think you are a great marksman? Can you still break through the wall accurately? If you want to say that you have no idea at all, don¡¯t say that you¡¯re my grandmother¡¯s son. My grandmother can¡¯t afford to lose this face.¡± When did his eldest daughter become so ¡®sensible¡¯? Zhang Huan felt a pain in his brain. If children are really not optimistic about you, then you won¡¯t know where they absorb a bunch of useful and useless knowledge. Zhang Huan had long suspected how Liang Yingying got pregnant with Zhang Heling back then, and he roughly guessed the truth. But at that time, he and Zhang Yansheng¡¯s mother basically had no married life because of her health. And depending on the situation, it seems unlikely that his wife will give him another child. Liang Yingying said that she was pregnant, and she faintly expected it to be a boy in her heart, so she allowed Liang Yingying to give birth. He was slightly disappointed by the birth of a girl. But there is already one, Zhang Heling, so he just allowed her to give birth once again without caring. Sure enough, Zhang Shuocheng was born, which was worth it. But Zhang Huan would never open up to the 15-year-old Zhang Yansheng about this kind of thing. He could only rub his temples and pretend to be dumbfounded, and said foolishly, ¡°I don¡¯t even know what you are talking about. Don¡¯t worry about adult affairs as a child. Do you have money left? Dad has money and will transfer more to you.¡± Zhang Yansheng sarcastically said: ¡°You are so generous, but it is much better if you could directly transfer all your assets to me.¡± After speaking, she turned and went back to her room. ¡°Tsk¡­¡± Zhang Huan mumbled, ¡°How could you talk like that? This kid is really not that old nor young¡­¡± He shouted at Zhang Yansheng again: ¡°Then look at your younger brother and sister during the holiday, don¡¯t let them run around~ Dad will add pocket money to you~¡± Zhang Yansheng told Zhang Huan that she had arrangements, but she was not talking nonsense. She did arrange things for herself. She originally wanted to go by herself, but Liang Yingying and Zhang Huan had both gone out to play. She was a little uneasy and wanted to take Zhang Heling with her. But if she only takes Zhang Heling, then Zhang Shuocheng will be left alone at home. The aunts wouldn¡¯t be able to hold him down, so he is bound to go crazy. In the end, Zhang Yansheng decided to take these two little kids with her. She dragged both Zhang Heling and Zhang Shuocheng to go to Zhang Huan¡¯s mother ¡ª their grandmother. In her last life, Zhang Yansheng¡¯s grandmother used to let Zhang Huan bring Zhang Yansheng out of shame. Zhang Yansheng also did not bother to take care of these relatives. But she still saw a lot from her cousin Zhang Qi¡¯s Moments. Her cousin is really filial, and those who celebrate the holidays every New Year must do their filial piety in front of their common grandmother. Accompany her to live in a villa, accompany her to the beach, and conscientiously entertain her relatives with colorful clothes. Of course, the rewards are huge. As soon as she graduated, she was taken by her grandmother and guided her personally. In the Zhang family, she has a faint posture of ¡®great woman¡¯. Zhang Yansheng saw that there were people in the group of relatives talking about this matter. Someone said in a sour tone: ¡°This is letting Qiqi take the lead in the family business, right?¡± Others said: ¡°It¡¯s not that there is no grandson in the family, there is Xiao Lin.¡± ¡°Xiao Lin is younger than his sister. Qiqi is the boss after all. It¡¯s really different to be born two years earlier.¡± Whether it was envy or jealousy, the relatives recognized Zhang Qi¡¯s status in the Zhang family in their hearts. From beginning to end, no one mentioned Zhang Huan¡¯s three children. In this regard, Zhang Huan really failed. It¡¯s no wonder that he had so much white hair afterwards. Zhang Yansheng called her grandmother before the festival and said that she wanted to accompany her. Grandma was very happy and said, ¡°Okay, I¡¯ll take you to the mountains to play.¡± Zhang Yansheng¡¯s grandma has a mountain villa. She is old and is not very interested in feast. When she is on vacation, she often goes to the mountain villa to rest. When the driver sent Zhang Yansheng and her siblings there, as expected, their eldest cousin Zhang Qi was already by her grandmother¡¯s side. Zhang Yansheng was really amazed ¡ª while she was still silly and arguing with Liang Yingying, her cousin was already working hard towards the position of heir of the Zhang family. Zhang Yansheng actually didn¡¯t have the idea of arguing with Zhang Qi. In her previous life, she was not only a trash but also depraved, she was a completely ignorant bastard. In this life, she is still just a 15-year-old girl. It¡¯s too early to say anything. It¡¯s just that although she has not put Liang Yingying in her eyes anymore in this life, she has never regarded Zhang Huan as a support in her heart as well. In comparison, her grandmother is more reliable. Zhang Yansheng also has to pave the way for her own future. She and the real power of the Zhang family can no longer be separated from each other like in the previous life. Grandma was a little surprised when she saw Zhang Yansheng bring Zhang Heling and Zhang Shuocheng. It¡¯s just that she hadn¡¯t spoken yet, but Zhang Qi spoke first. ¡°Why did you bring these two little kids?¡± She touched the head of her cousin and said in an irritating but intimate tone, ¡°Seriously, grandma is here to rest. How can these two little kids stay quiet?¡± ¡°My dad and their mother have gone abroad. I am not very relieved to leave them at home. If the adults are gone, I can¡¯t count on the aunts to do their best. After thinking about it, I decided to bring the two of them together here.¡± Zhang Yansheng explained to Grandma. Grandma nodded, recalling the past, with emotion: ¡°That¡¯s right. You can¡¯t trust any of them. Those aunts don¡¯t know how to fool the children.¡± Zhang Yansheng smiled again and said to her cousin Zhang Qi, ¡°Sister, don¡¯t worry, I brought all the ferules.¡± As she said that, her hand clasped on the top of Zhang Shuocheng¡¯s head, and she smiled bitterly: ¡°Zhang Shuocheng, do you understand?¡± Zhang Shuocheng was discouraged for a second, then lowered his eyebrows and said softly: ¡°I won¡¯t make trouble.¡± His second sister also hurriedly helped: ¡°I will look after him too.¡± Grandma was surprised: ¡°Oh, is this still our Shuoshuo? Why are you so good? Grandma thought you had been changed with someone else¡¯s child.¡± Zhang Shuocheng snorted and pouted. Zhang Heling smiled, covering her mouth. Grandma pulled her over again and said lovingly, ¡°Our Hehe have also grown up, and she now looks more like a sister.¡± While she was talking to Zhang Heling with a smile, she couldn¡¯t help but look at Zhang Yansheng, feeling very relieved. Yanyan, this child, has really grown up and has the demeanor of an elder sister. Zhang Qi interrupted in time and said with a smile: ¡°Yanyan is still thoughtful. Unlike me, Xiao Lin is also clamoring to come. When I think about him, that monkey cannot be quiet, for fear that he will quarrel with you. So, I didn¡¯t allow him to follow. Really, if I had known that Shuoshuo was also coming, I would have told him to come too.¡± Zhang Yansheng frowned slightly. The 15-year-old Zhang Yansheng may not be able to hear it, but the 21-year-old Zhang Yansheng later became involved in society. She has seen a lot of green tea and white lotus people, tea language and lotus air, she has seen quite a lot. When she heard Zhang Qi speak at this moment, the smell of tea came out. Although the last time they met, she had faintly noticed her cousin Zhang Qi¡¯s sense of competition and suppression of her, but listening to her words of using tea language, Zhang Yansheng¡¯s impression of Zhang Qi was greatly reduced. In her previous life, the cousin who was excellent in learning and was praised by her elders for her kindness to others, which gave birth to envy, was probably just a beauty from a distance. But Zhang Yansheng did not pick up the stubble. She can hear the underlying meaning of her words. Their grandmother, who has been a strong woman all her life, can she also hear it? Since she was reborn, she discovered that she didn¡¯t really know Zhang Huan before, so she began to re-examine everyone. Back when she was still stupid and self-righteous, she looked at people with filters, which was distorted very badly. Sure enough, the old lady heard it, patted Zhang Qi on the back of her hand and smiled: ¡°It¡¯s okay, I¡¯m not afraid of noise, and my children and grandchildren are all blessings. I have five grandchildren who can¡¯t be cultivated by others.¡± Zhang Qi seemed slightly disappointed, but quickly adjusted, then she chatted and laughed with the old lady. Zhang Yansheng watched coldly from the side, and gradually, she was able to make a new and clearer position for her cousin. This is a tea seedling that is growing vigorously. CH 59 The mountains are actually quite fun, not as boring as Zhang Yansheng thought. The Old Lady Zhang¡¯s villa is located halfway up the mountain. Looking up, there are mountains to climb. Looking into the distance, you can see villages looming in the mist of other mountains. Not only is the air fresh, but the autumn colors are cascading in the mountains and forests, and the fruits are plentiful, which is particularly interesting. There are waterfalls and water pools in the back mountain, and they have been developed with money paid by the old lady. This is not a scenic spot, but a mountain hill where land use rights were bought privately. The old lady bought several nearby hills, and planting something is the second thing. She mainly wanted this quiet environment. For example, the waterfall pool in the back mountain, after being developed, becomes the private landscape of the old lady¡¯s villa. This environment is much better than the swimming pool of a town house in the city. However, it is autumn now, so you can only play in the water for a while when the water temperature is hottest in the afternoon. Even so, Zhang Shuocheng still went crazy. He was climbing trees, digging bugs, picking fruits, and piling mud in the mountains. He was simply happy. He played happily and didn¡¯t really trouble the adults. He was asked to eat and to do his homework. The old lady was surprised after observing for a few days. Liang Yingying has been in Zhang¡¯s house for several years, and the old lady has not kept thinking that these are her own grandchildren, but she has always been unable to get close to Liang Yingying¡¯s two children. One is always timid, and the other is uneducated at first glance. Unexpectedly, after not seeing each other for a while, these two children have changed a lot. Zhang Shuocheng was much more obedient and he became more and more obedient under the care of Zhang Heling. ¡°Hehe, come here.¡± Walking on the mountain path, the old lady beckoned Zhang Heling over, ¡°Tell Grandma, why are you so good at taking care of your younger brother now? How did you make your brother obedient?¡± Zhang Heling was wearing a sun hat and had an insect trap in her hand, her face flushed, and she told the truth: ¡°My sister asked me to take care of him. If Zhang Shuocheng doesn¡¯t obey, my sister will beat him up. He is most afraid of my elder sister.¡± The old lady became interested, and asked her how Zhang Yansheng beat Zhang Shuocheng, and she listened with relish. ¡°That¡¯s how he should be beaten!¡± she said. Zhang Heling covered her mouth and smiled, and her eyebrows curled. The old lady looked at her and thought she was much cuter than before, so she touched her head: ¡°Go, go and play.¡± It happened that Zhang Shuocheng shouted over there: ¡°Sister! Sister, come here! There is a big green worm here!¡± ¡°Coming! Don¡¯t kill it first!¡± Zhang Heling ran away quickly holding the net. The eldest daughter, the second daughter, and the youngest son have all grown up. The old lady has not experienced this kind of childlike interest for a long time, and she can¡¯t help but put a smile on her face. Zhang Qi took the old lady for a walk, and watched from a distance as the two little ones squatted on the ground and met each other to tinker with the big green worm, while Zhang Yansheng stood beside them with her hands on her waist and looked at them. She smiled and said, ¡°Seriously, I thought Yanyan came here to do her filial piety. As a result, she was dragged by these two little ones, and didn¡¯t have time to accompany you at all.¡± The old lady smiled: ¡°She is an older sister who takes care of her younger brother and sister when they come out. Of course, she has to take care of them. This is a responsibility.¡± While talking, Zhang Yansheng came over. ¡°Grandma.¡± She asked, ¡°Are you tired? Go back if you are tired. The two of them haven¡¯t had enough fun yet.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t underestimate me.¡± The old lady said angrily, ¡°I can walk this road back and forth without sweating.¡± Zhang Qi carefully helped the old lady, smiled and said to Zhang Yansheng, ¡°Grandma has me here, don¡¯t worry about it. Go and watch the two of them, don¡¯t tell them to run around, the mountains are quite dangerous.¡± ¡°It¡¯s okay, let¡¯s go and sit there.¡± The old lady pointed to the outdoor bench under the tree in front of them, ¡°Let¡¯s look at them together.¡± The three of them walked over and sat down. The bench was not far from the two younger ones. Not only could they watch them, they could also hear the two chattering. Zhang Shuocheng wanted to roast the big green worm, but Zhang Heling felt it was too cruel and refused to let him do it. The two little ones are arguing. Very interesting. Before sitting down, Zhang Qi asked, ¡°How is Yanyan in school now? Can you keep up in the preparatory class?¡± This is a topic that the old lady also cares about, and she also asked, ¡°Yes, how are you at Yi High School?¡± ¡°The school is very good, but I am not.¡± Zhang Yansheng honestly admitted, ¡°I am at the bottom ranking in the monthly exam. Although I am not in last place, I am still not in a good position. If I don¡¯t work hard, I will be pushed out.¡± Contempt and pride flashed in Zhang Qi¡¯s eyes. The old lady laughed, patted the back of Zhang Yansheng¡¯s hand and said: ¡°If you can¡¯t do it, I think you know it very well. Achievement can¡¯t determine everything. If you know how to work hard, then that¡¯s okay.¡± Zhang Yansheng also laughed and said, ¡°Although that is what I said, in school, everything is measured by grades. There are a lot of students in our class. I have a classmate whose notes are like calligraphy works. He is even a boy. I now think that it is really the right choice for me to study at Yi High School. If someone like me went to private school, I would definitely not be able to learn anything from laziness. This environment is very stressful and everyone around you is studying hard. In this kind of atmosphere, I dare not to relax at all.¡± ¡°Public institutions naturally have their advantages.¡± The old lady said disapprovingly, ¡°I have always disapproved of letting my children study at private schools. Our country is strong in basic education and the best educational resources are in public schools. If you want to go abroad in the future, you should lay the foundation first. It¡¯s not necessary.¡± When the old lady said this, Zhang Yansheng didn¡¯t look at Zhang Qi, but she could feel Zhang Qi¡¯s discomfort from the corners of her eyes. Zhang Qi is the first grandchild of the Zhang family, so she received a lot of attention from the old lady after she was born. Under the interference of the old lady, Zhang Qi went to public schools all the way. But Zhang Yansheng¡¯s aunt was very unhappy about this. It¡¯s just that the old lady said the same thing, and she didn¡¯t dare to object in front of the old lady, but there were many complaints in private. Later on, the old lady learned about the complaints, so she didn¡¯t interfere so much with her first grandson, Zhang Lin. The aunt fulfilled her wish and sent Zhang Lin to a private school. But afterwards, it was discovered that the old lady was increasingly leaning toward the second daughter-in-law, who was Zhang Yansheng¡¯s mother. It was discovered that the old lady no longer interfered with Zhang Qi and Zhang Lin¡¯s affairs, but in the same way, the love and concern for them also faded. Zhang Yansheng¡¯s aunt was a little panicked, and she discussed with her husband whether to send Zhang Lin to the public school again. After being discovered by the old lady, the old lady called Zhang Yansheng¡¯s uncle to scold him: ¡°After choosing a good path, you can go on, but can¡¯t go back and forth. Why are you tossing your child? Xiao Lin has adapted to the atmosphere of a private school. Will he be comfortable if you send him back to the public school?¡± This matter was over. But Zhang Yansheng¡¯s aunt often complained at home, complained that the old lady was arbitrary and tyrannical, complained that the old lady was partial to her sister-in-law and niece, and worried that her family would suffer a loss from distribution of inheritance in the future. Zhang Qi has listened to her mother¡¯s complaints and worries since she was a child, and has regarded her cousin Zhang Yansheng as her competitor from then on. When she was a child, the adults always praised her cousin and considered her as ¡®other people¡¯s children¡¯.1±ðÈ˼Һ¢×Ó ¨C Children from other people¡¯s families, in online terms, refer to a creature that you can¡¯t surpass anyway. They are omnipotent and can compare with you at any time. Fortunately, after the death of her aunt, her cousin became more and more mediocre, but she and her younger brother were excellent all the way, crushing her cousin. Without the care of her aunt, this cousin became more and more ignorant, and gradually lost the favor of her grandmother. Zhang Qi was secretly happy, but when she went to high school this year, she suddenly seemed to understand things and became sensible again. As for the old lady, her heart was too biased¡­ No matter how hard Zhang Qi had been doing in front of her, with Zhang Yansheng only showing a little bit of good intentions, the old lady immediately crooked to her side. Zhang Qi bit her lip secretly. Zhang Qi has been secretly observing Zhang Yansheng these days, and Zhang Yansheng is also observing Zhang Qi. Both of them have their own gains. The old lady was observing the two of them. After dinner, Zhang Yansheng was sitting on a recliner in the courtyard looking at the stars, when suddenly someone touched her head. Zhang Yansheng looked up and saw the old lady, she didn¡¯t know when she came over. Zhang Yansheng hurriedly got up and gave the recliner to the old lady, and asked, ¡°Have you sprayed Wen Bu Ding already?¡± The air in the mountains is good, the scenery is good, and the water is good, but there are too many mosquitoes. Zhang Yansheng carried both Wen Bu Ding2Îò»¶£ ¨C Wen Bu Ding ¨C literal meaning no mosquito bite / a brand of mosquito repellent and cooling balm3ÇåÁ¹ÓÍ ¨C Cooling Balm ¨C literal meaning cooling oil/balm ¨C cream medicine made of peppermint oil, camphor, cinnamon oil, eucalyptus oil and other paraffin wax. Formerly known as Panacea. Suitable for heat, dizziness, cold, headache, mosquito bites and mild burns. with her, so she quickly took it out and sprayed it on the old lady. ¡°You¡¯re getting better and better at taking care of people.¡± The old lady sighed, ¡°If your mother sees what you look like now, she will definitely be very happy.¡± ¡°Forget it.¡± Zhang Yansheng said angrily, ¡°If my mother is alive and sees the two little ones, I¡¯m afraid she will be angry with my father.¡± It was her own son who cheated on her second daughter-in-law for having illegitimate children. The old lady was also a little embarrassed, sighed and said, ¡°I didn¡¯t teach your father well.¡± ¡°It¡¯s not your fault.¡± Zhang Yansheng said, ¡°He is not a child anymore. He knew what he was doing.¡± The old lady sighed, stopped dwelling on this matter, and turned to say, ¡°I think you are becoming more and more like an older sister now. Do you get along well with Hehe and Shuoshuo?¡± Zhang Yansheng lowered her eyes and said, ¡°Both of them have been born, and it is impossible for me to stuff them back into Liang Yingying¡¯s belly. Moreover, injustice has a head and a master. It¡¯s my father and that woman that should be sorry, not the two of them.¡± ¡°Leave the affairs of adults to the adults. You, you are still a child. Xiao Min has been dead for several years now. She definitely hoped that you can live your life well, not because that woman made trouble with your father. Don¡¯t always be angry with Hehe¡¯s mother, your father is not a fool, she can¡¯t afford to make big waves.¡± The old lady comforted her. Zhang Yansheng thought this was a bit familiar. She suddenly remembered that her grandmother had persuaded her before. It¡¯s just that she was young and full of resentment, so she can¡¯t listen to such words. Later, she split up with her grandma all the way to that extent. She was silent for a while, then nodded: ¡°I know. I won¡¯t let her affect my life.¡± The old lady was very relieved. She asked lovingly: ¡°I watched you sit here for a long time just now. What were you thinking to be so lost in thought?¡± Zhang Yansheng replied honestly: ¡°I¡¯m thinking about Sister Qiqi.¡± The old lady showed an expression of interest: ¡°Oh?¡± ¡°Sister Qiqi seems to have a very clear goal in life.¡± Zhang Yansheng said, ¡°And so is brother Xiao Lin. I heard that he wants to go to a foreign university, has a target school, and has something he wants to learn.¡± The old lady listened patiently. ¡°But I don¡¯t have one.¡± Zhang Yansheng said, ¡°Grandma, I know I should study hard, but I don¡¯t know what my goal in life should be. The classmates around me are working hard, but if you ask them, they would just say, ¡®of course I have to work hard¡¯. Only with a good university and a good degree can you find a good job, get a high salary, and make more money.¡± ¡°But I have never been short of money. I also know that no matter how hard they work in the future, they may not earn more money than my current pocket money. So, I am particularly confused.¡± ¡°I know I should work hard, but I don¡¯t know what this hard work is for.¡± CH 60 At the end of the National Day holiday, Zhang Huan didn¡¯t know which little lover he had fun outside with. When he came back, he was grabbed by the old lady. The old lady is kind-hearted to her granddaughters, but she is not so polite to her son: ¡°Take care of your wife, don¡¯t let her annoy my granddaughter all day long!¡± A while ago, Zhang Huan was particularly guilty of Liang Zheng¡¯s mess, and said in a low voice, ¡°She doesn¡¯t dare! Who dares to treat my daughter badly, I will tell her to get out of here!¡± The old lady rolled her eyes: ¡°She shouldn¡¯t have been allowed to enter the family in the first place.¡± Zhang Huan smiled. He was secretly observing the old lady, but she didn¡¯t seem to know about Liang Zheng, so he let go of this in his mind. ¡°Yanyan is sensible now.¡± He tried his best to exaggerate in front of his mother, ¡°She knows how to study, and she can take care of her younger brother and sister. Now, Hehe and Shuoshuo listen to her very much.¡± So, his recent family life has been particularly harmonious and happy, which makes him feel very happy as well. Unexpectedly, the old lady was furious and slapped his head with her hand: ¡°Isn¡¯t that all you, as a father, should take care of! You throw it all to Yanyan and you still have the face to say that! You¡¯ve had a good holiday, but Yanyan can¡¯t have a good time, as she had to watch the two little ones for you! She had to do filial piety in front of me for you! I gave birth to you for nothing, it¡¯s much better for my granddaughter to think of me!¡± ¡°Think of you, you shouldn¡¯t let me think of you and let me be less annoying with you.¡± Zhang Huan rubbed the back of his head, ¡°I didn¡¯t let Yanyan look at his younger brother and sister. Aren¡¯t there aunts at home?¡± The old lady slapped him again: ¡°Aunts? You forgot that when you were a child, when I went to the company, an aunt stabbed you with a needle! Yanyan didn¡¯t dare to rest assured for Hehe and Shuoshuo to be handed over to the aunts. She came to see me with the two small ones. It¡¯s good for you couple to be gone as soon as you have a vacation.¡± When Zhang Huan was a child, he was taken care of by an aunt for so many years, which made the old lady still brooding. Therefore, Zhang Yansheng didn¡¯t want to worry about her younger brother and sister, and took them with her to take care of them, which really made the old lady feel very relieved. ¡°Yanyan, this child, has a hard face and a soft heart. At her age, during adolescence, she is prone to irritability. You let the person surnamed Liang provoke her less, and you should speak softly to her. She looks a lot younger. She is a child and she needs adults to care about her. Don¡¯t think that because she is sensible now, so you just put your hands down and don¡¯t care about anything. If you become a father like this, there will be retribution for you in the future.¡± They didn¡¯t know that in another life, the old lady made a prophecy. Zhang Huan said indifferently: ¡°I didn¡¯t let go of my hand, I¡¯m still in charge.¡± The old lady snorted, she knew her own son well, so she didn¡¯t believe him. She had already inquired clearly from Zhang Heling. Zhang Yansheng is in charge, and Zhang Huan didn¡¯t care about their studies. Zhang Heling was still an elementary school student, and Zhang Huan didn¡¯t care, it all depended on Zhang Heling¡¯s self-awareness. As for Zhang Shuocheng, he was pressed down by Zhang Yansheng. But Zhang Yansheng would not work hard to take care of his studies personally. Her granddaughter is very good at employing people ¡ª she put Zhang Heling in charge of Zhang Shuocheng¡¯s studies. It¡¯s not because he was not born to the same mother. If Zhang Yansheng really worked hard to manage Zhang Shuocheng like an old scalper, the old lady would feel very awkward. The old lady herself is a person who dares to love and hate, and she can¡¯t be a saint. If Zhang Yansheng doesn¡¯t get along well with her half-brother and half-sister, although the old lady will sigh, she won¡¯t complain to Zhang Yansheng. If Zhang Yansheng is too naive, the old lady really can¡¯t accept it. Just as it is now, Zhang Yansheng sets rules and makes good use of Zhang Heling¡¯s labor force ¡ª after all, Zhang Heling and Zhang Shuocheng are real siblings, and then Zhang Yansheng is only responsible for punishing those who do not follow the rules. Zhang Shuocheng, under her deterrence, did not dare not to listen to Zhang Heling¡¯s words. That is great. There are no more chickens flying and dogs jumping loud at home, everyone is safe and well, and they look like a family. But this has nothing to do with her sh*tty son, this is all in the credit of her granddaughter! ¡°I am now giving Yanyan three times the pocket money!¡± Zhang Huan cursed and said, ¡°Qiqi and Xiao Lin definitely don¡¯t have that much!¡± The old lady scolded: ¡°That¡¯s what Yanyan deserves! What you should do and what you should worry about are all taken care of by Yanyan. She is the eldest child, so you can say it! If Yanyan hadn¡¯t been so sensible now, after you married a troublemaker, you wouldn¡¯t know what kind of pandemonium your family will have!¡± Zhang Huan was embarrassed. Anyway, in front of his own mother, he couldn¡¯t please her. In the past, Zhang Yansheng¡¯s mother was there, and it was because she was favored by her mother-in-law, that her mother gave him a good face. Later, Liang Yingying couldn¡¯t get into her mother¡¯s eyes at all, and he couldn¡¯t get a good face from her. The old lady gave him a good scoff before she came to the point. ¡°Yanyan is now at a very sensitive age, so you have to look after her more.¡± She said, ¡°I talked to her the other day, this kid, she is very confused now. I thought for a while but it¡¯s useless to say so many empty words to her, you have to show her more about the world. Knowledge can be learned in school, but insight cannot be learned. She has to look more at what it is like outside the school to know what she wants to do and what she wants to become in the future.¡± In the past few years, the relationship between father and daughter has been stiff, and Zhang Huan has hardly talked with Zhang Yansheng alone. After letting the old lady talk about this, his conscience, which was not too much, was activated again. ¡°Okay, I understand.¡± He agreed, ¡°I¡¯ll look back and communicate with her more.¡± Zhang Yansheng didn¡¯t know that her grandmother had a long talk with her father about her growth. During the vacation, she opened up to the old lady and confessed her confusion. The old lady said, ¡°If you don¡¯t understand, then don¡¯t think about it. Why do you let yourself have a headache for the ¡®future¡¯ that you don¡¯t know yet? Just do what you have to do first.¡± Zhang Yansheng felt that what the old lady said was very grounded. If you don¡¯t understand, then don¡¯t think about it, just do what you got to do first. After the holiday, she started to wear her school uniform to school again. The uniform of Yi High School is as ugly as all other public-school uniforms. But the more you wear this kind of clothes, the more you can compare the value of your face. When Zhang Yansheng entered the classroom early in the morning, everyone¡¯s eyes lit up and they greeted her one after another. Zhang Yansheng didn¡¯t travel anywhere during this holiday. She watched the old lady rest leisurely in the mountains, watched her younger brother and sister return to the wild, and watched the landscape by day and the stars by night. As if she had become immortal, her state of mind became peaceful. When she returned to school, she was greeted by heavy academic work. Don¡¯t think about anything else, let¡¯s study hard first. When she encountered problems in her studies, she went to consult Zhang Zhiyuan ¡ª knowing that the future champion of the college entrance examination is here, there is no need for principle. Zhang Zhiyuan had a very clear idea of the topic, and he could immediately find out where she was stuck on the question and answer it clearly. Zhang Yansheng felt that her mind had never been so clear. Sure enough, if you approach a smart person, you will also become smart. She studied hard in Class 2, and she didn¡¯t know that a conspiracy against her was brewing in Class 8. Wang Qian intends to destroy Zhang Yansheng with rumors. Wang Qian had done this in middle school. The girl she slandered with rumors was later rejected by everyone. The girl¡¯s grades plummeted and she didn¡¯t talk to people in school or even walk with her head up. ¡°That Zhang Yansheng in Class 2 is a fake noble woman who worships gold.¡± She declared to her small group, ¡°You think that she ignores Xu Lichen at school but what¡¯s the result? I saw her get into Xu Lichen¡¯s car after school. It can be seen that she can¡¯t resist the Maybach¡¯s attraction.¡± The members of the small group were all filled with righteous indignation: ¡°Why is Xu Lichen so stupid? Can¡¯t he tell what kind of person she is?¡± No, no, the main point is not Xu Lichen! Wang Qian tried her best to pull the line back: ¡°The boys are all so stupid and girls like Zhang Yansheng can confuse boys in particular. Look, she is such a b*tch, but every boy thinks she is a white lotus, which is not stained with silt.¡± Small group member: ¡°Bah! Shameless! She also gave Xu Lichen a punishment, how could she not be embarrassed to be with Xu Lichen again!¡± ¡°I¡¯ve never seen such a cheap one!¡± ¡°Ahh, I¡¯m so angry!¡± Everyone is so angry! They all firmly believe that Zhang Yansheng is a fake noblewoman. She must have deliberately ignored Xu Lichen before, deliberately harmed him, played hard to get, and played with Xu Lichen in the palm of her hand! She has to be exposed! Let everyone know what kind of person she really is! This ¡®everyone¡¯ mainly refers to two people, one is a student in Class 8 and Xu Lichen¡¯s classmate, it is best to make Xu Lichen sober himself. The other person is a student of Class 2, which is Zhang Yansheng¡¯s classmate, and she has to be by her side. Let everyone around her know what virtue is in her bones, so everyone will spit on her, and it is best to squeeze her out together. That would be the best. The first step is to spread it in their own class. The girls curled their mouths when they heard this, and some turned their heads to tell others. This is what small groups like to hear. Rumors have to be passed down from person to person. The more they spread, the wider the better. And then, talk to the boys. One of the boys did a good deed and went to ask Xu Lichen with a wink: ¡°Hey, I heard that your car is parked on the subway right now? What¡¯s the matter?¡± Xu Lichen, who is also evil, realized that there was a problem, so he asked, ¡°Who told you?¡± Although no one directly said it was Wang Qian, the names given by the boys were all from Wang Qian¡¯s small group. Xu Lichen understood as soon as he heard it, this was Wang Qian¡¯s intention to harm Zhang Yansheng. Xu Lichen found Wang Qian very annoying. He used to think that she was at least pretty, but now that he looks at her, the more he looks at her, the more he thinks that she looks like Mama Rong.1 However, Xu Lichen thought this matter was quite interesting. He wanted to see if Wang Qian could provoke Zhang Yansheng¡¯s hard temper, and he also wanted to see how Zhang Yansheng will respond. But things are not going well. The students in Class 8 accepted the gossip or rumors spread by Wang Qian and her accomplices. But Zhang Yansheng is not in the same class as them, and everyone¡¯s well water did not violate the water flowing in the river, and they were out of reach of each other. If you listen to one ear, then just listen to one ear, and if you hang on to death, you¡¯ll be over in just two beeps. Under this method, it is actually the people around the victims who are really lethal to the victims. The contempt, ridicule, and exclusion of people around you will really cause harm. So, Wang Qian also knew that the key point was to pass the gossip to Class 2. But in this matter, she and her friends encountered setbacks. Although a school like Yi High School has to accept a group of students who spend money to come in, its overall style of study is still very positive. Especially the top class and the two preparatory classes, which are the key classes that the school values most. The school¡¯s management of these three classes is particularly strict. The students in Class 1, Class 2, and Class 3 are facing the elimination system at the middle of the semester. The head teacher stares at them every day like a pair of electric eyes, inculcating and exhorting them repeatedly. The pressure these students are under is simply not what the students in Class 8 can think of. It can be said that the brain circuits of these scholars are completely different from those of Wang Qian. Wang Qian wanted to spread the rumors to Zhang Yansheng¡¯s class, but encountered a wall between the schoolmasters and the scumbags. ¡°Someone talked to me in the canteen for some reason, but we don¡¯t know each other and she just started talking about you.¡± The female classmate told Zhang Yansheng, ¡°I¡¯m so confused.¡± ¡°It looks like a paparazzi in the entertainment industry, just want to know who you are and if I know you. Why should I listen to her?¡± ¡°Did you review the topic about Huanggang?2 Did you brush up on 5-3?3 How many times have you memorized the vocabulary list?¡± ¡°Insane.¡± CH 61 The female classmates who were inexplicably dragged by a few girls from the young master class to talk about gossip did not believe them at all. First of all, if you knew a hot gossip, then you would probably tell it to people you know with interest, and would never just talk to someone you don¡¯t know at all. This behavior was weird, and it was sneaky and deliberate. So, you want to talk about Zhang Yansheng, this girl¡­ you said she was a gold digger? Emmmm¡­ I don¡¯t even know that I am in the same class as her. How do you know? And when it comes to gold diggers, there are indeed some stereotypes. When a girl worships gold, it is usually because of vanity. This kind of girl usually dresses up to the nines, and she tends to whine when she speaks, because she wants to please that kind of rich man, it must be like this. Why can¡¯t this image be put on Zhang Yansheng¡¯s head?! Although Zhang Yansheng is beautiful, she is an A! It rained one day before, and water accumulated in a depression on the road between the teaching building and the experimental building. When everyone walked from there, they all jumped over. But the shortest girl in the class had short legs, so she couldn¡¯t step over. She stood there hesitantly, just as she was about to tiptoe to the water, Zhang Yansheng came over. Zhang Yansheng was dressed in black clothes and black pants, with long legs and long black hair tied in a single ponytail, simple and neat. She came over, without a word, leaned over and stretched out her right hand for a catch! She grabbed the girl¡¯s waist and hugged her with one hand, then jumped over the puddle in a vertical leap. Then, she gently put her down. This gentle domineering aura is definitely an A burst!1 The girls screamed at that time! Later, when the boys took advantage of the long break, they used the thinnest and lightest boy in the class to do experiments, and found that none of them could pick him up and hang him on their bodies with just one hand. Only one or two can do it, and you can only hang one for a second or two and you can¡¯t hold it. Not to mention the fact that there is a person hanging in his arms and taking him diving with him. That¡¯s okay if you can¡¯t even jump up by yourself. Usually, girls who are particularly beautiful are more likely to be rejected by the same sex, but Zhang Yansheng has a fascinating attraction to the girls in Class 2. After that, the girls had already discussed it. If Zhang Yansheng was a boy, she would be a proper lieutenant colonel! Who is going to take care of that bunch of straight steel men? During the class meeting, when the head teacher repeatedly emphasized that puppy love is not allowed, the girls giggled and said, ¡°Teacher, don¡¯t worry, we don¡¯t want to have boyfriends, we just want to have girlfriends.¡± Head teacher: ¡°???¡± The whole class laughed and heckled blindly: ¡°That¡¯s right, isn¡¯t it good to have a girlfriend with a boyfriend power?¡± Class teacher: ¡­What is boyfriend power? Am I out of date again? The generation gap is getting deeper and deeper. Zhang Yansheng seems to be the shared male (crossed out, female) friend of the girls in the class. So, when Wang Qian¡¯s friends pulled the girls in Class 2 to strike up a conversation and said bad things about Zhang Yansheng, the girls in Class 2 could only look at them with mentally retarded eyes. Wang Qian and the others thought that if the words were passed on, with the gossip of the girls, they would inevitably make an uproar. How did they know that after the female classmates told the person in charge regarding Zhang Yansheng about the incident, they turned their heads and went to brush 5-3? So many questions to be brushed! When Zhang Yansheng heard this familiar routine, she knew that Wang Qian had done it. Wang Qian had triumphantly told her before how, in middle school, she made everyone isolate and crowd out a girl. In fact, Zhang Yansheng and Wang Qian are very different from each other. But in their self-righteous period, she stubbornly believed that Wang Qian was ¡®one of her own¡¯, and if they didn¡¯t agree, they had to stay together. At most, it was Wang Qian who did the things, she just didn¡¯t participate. But now, Wang Qian is deceiving her again. As expected, Wang Qian is not someone who can scare away at once. Zhang Yansheng felt that he really couldn¡¯t be too low-key as a human being, and if he kept a low profile, he would go down to the ground. She stood up. ¡°Where are you going?¡± The classmate next to her asked, ¡°Class is about to start.¡± Zhang Yansheng said ¡°clean up the trash¡± and went out. Just in the same corridor, it is a matter of two steps to get into another class. When Zhang Yansheng appeared in the classroom of Class 8, the originally messy class suddenly fell silent. Although not in the same class, Zhang Yansheng is recognized as the first-class flower and Xu Lichen¡¯s pursuit object, but Xu Lichen has been scammed, and they have just heard rumors about her from Wang Qian. Although they don¡¯t know if it¡¯s credible, almost no one in the class doesn¡¯t know Zhang Yansheng. Seeing the rumored heroine suddenly appeared, everyone felt that something was about to happen! ¡°Zhang Yansheng!¡± Xu Lichen greeted her with a look of surprise, ¡°Are you looking for me?¡± He was tall and sturdy, and he stood in front of Zhang Yansheng, blocking her sight. Zhang Yansheng stretched out her hand and pressed his shoulder. Before Xu Lichen could be surprised, he felt an irresistible force passing over his shoulders, and he staggered to the side involuntarily. Zhang Yansheng set Xu Lichen aside, who was blocking her vision, glanced away, and found Wang Qian. Wang Qian sat in her seat, surrounded by members of the small girl group. This group of girls had been pressed by Zhang Yansheng to drink water from the sink in the subway toilet before. So now that they saw Zhang Yansheng come to the door, all of them turned pale. Zhang Yansheng strode over. The girls in the small group subconsciously retreated, and Wang Qian, who was sitting in the seat, flashed out. Everyone in Class 8 can see that Zhang Yansheng was coming for Wang Qian. Even the people in the seats around Wang Qian were so shocked by Zhang Yansheng¡¯s striding approach that they stood up subconsciously and backed away. Drums are playing in Wang Qian¡¯s heart as well. The main reason is that Zhang Yansheng¡¯s force value is too high, she has already experienced it last time. But she didn¡¯t believe that Zhang Yansheng would do it in school. She wouldn¡¯t even really bully anyone in school. The Yi High School has such strict control, this kind of thing must be moved outside the school to solve it. For a student in a good class like Zhang Yansheng, Wang Qian bet she would be scrupulous about school rules. At most, she would just quarrel with her after hearing about the rumors. Wang Qian felt that if she lost, she would not lose the battle. Even if she couldn¡¯t beat Zhang Yansheng, she would have to beat Zhang Yansheng. First of all, she can¡¯t lose in terms of momentum! Wang Qian propped her hands on the table, intending to stand up and confront Zhang Yansheng with great momentum. But she only pressed her hands on the table, and Zhang Yansheng¡¯s long legs wrapped in black trousers had already kicked out, kicking Wang Qian with a chair to the ground! Wang Qian screamed! Class 8 fell into silence for an instant. Followed by an uproar! There are many people in this class who have been the dominant masters in middle school before. They are all not afraid of high stages when watching dramas, lest the world would not be chaotic enough. There is nothing more than the two beautiful girls fighting and tearing each other apart. A boy who has a good relationship with Xu Lichen grabbed his arm, whispered to his ear and said excitedly: ¡°F*ck, this is the girl you like! She¡¯s awesome!¡± Xu Lichen rubbed the shoulder that was pinched by Zhang Yansheng just now, looked at the black, slim but straight back, and grinned: ¡°Of course!¡± Wang Qian didn¡¯t expect Zhang Yansheng to really dare to do it at school. Isn¡¯t she a good student? Why is she so bold? Don¡¯t they have a lot of scruples and care a lot? It¡¯s a pity that Wang Qian doesn¡¯t understand Zhang Yansheng in this life. Zhang Yansheng really didn¡¯t care about anything in her life. She doesn¡¯t know how many times she has broken the school rules in her last life, and she was even expelled later. They have never been able to restrain Zhang Yansheng¡¯s violent temper. ¡°Zhang Yansheng! What are you doing?¡± Wang Qian screamed with a sharp voice. Zhang Yansheng glanced at her coldly: ¡°You know what I¡¯m doing.¡± Wang Qian sat on the ground, appearing to be in a difficult situation. She was about to stand up, when she suddenly caught a glimpse of a figure at the door of the classroom from the gap in the crowd¡­ Wang Qian moved for a while. Instead of standing up, she fell to the ground and put on a weak posture, as if she was a victim and said, ¡°I don¡¯t know what you are talking about, why do you have to hit me?¡± She thought she was acting well, but she didn¡¯t know how well Zhang Yansheng knew her. As soon as she put out this posture, Zhang Yansheng didn¡¯t have to look back, knowing that there was a situation behind her. But Zhang Yansheng didn¡¯t care. Didn¡¯t Wang Qian want to be a victim, then let her be! Zhang Yansheng kicked Wang Qian in the leg! Wang Qian did not expect her to be so cruel, so she screamed again! This time, she was really embarrassed! Zhang Yansheng shouted: ¡°Since you have that much time, why can¡¯t you to study hard? Isn¡¯t it better to brush 5-3? Can¡¯t you memorize the formula?¡± ¡°Do you know how stupid you are?!¡± ¡°You have entered such a good school! There are such good teachers and so many resources! With a little bit of hard work, you can get into a good university! In the future, you don¡¯t need to go to that kind of pheasant university, which no one has heard of even when you mention it!¡± ¡°What the hell are you doing? All this useless sh*t all day long! You think you are acting in an idol drama! Do you not know that you came to school to study? So, learn!¡± ¡°If you don¡¯t like to learn by yourself and you want to waste your life, then close the door and make trouble by yourself! Don¡¯t harass the classmates in our class!¡± ¡°They are different from you (me), you know! They have to work hard for these next three years! Whether you learn well or not is related to your future life! They don¡¯t have time to play this bloody love and hate with you!¡± Zhang Yansheng cursed and kicked Wang Qian. Wang Qian screamed again and again. But this scream couldn¡¯t cover Zhang Yansheng¡¯s voice. ¡°Do you think you are amazing? Even if you count this and that at a young age, do you think you can manipulate people¡¯s hearts? Can you be so smart and pull up your test scores first?¡± ¡°You have conditions that no one else can match, but look in the mirror and see what kind of virtue you are!¡± Zhang Yansheng gritted her teeth, and finally squeezed out two words from between her teeth: ¡°Scum! Scum!¡± She didn¡¯t scold Wang Qian. She was scolding herself. In the previous life, she was one with Wang Qian and Xu Lichen. They are all scumbags. They all have economic conditions that ordinary teenagers can¡¯t match, but they all live like scum, wasting youth, wasting lives, and living meaningless lives. Zhang Yansheng looked at Wang Qian, who was lying on the ground in embarrassment, as if she had seen her embarrassed self in her previous life. She hated herself to the extreme. After gritting her teeth, she couldn¡¯t help but turned her head and gave Xu Lichen, this scum, a fierce look. There was indisputable anger in this glance, disgust at seeing one¡¯s own image, and hostility that could not be let out. Those eyes were as sharp as a knife. Xu Lichen felt like an electric current was flowing through his fingertips, scurrying in his body. With this glance, Xu Lichen knew that he had fallen on Zhang Yansheng from then on. CH 62 In this quiet moment, a clear and loud applause suddenly sounded in the classroom. Everyone followed the sound and saw a teacher standing at the door of the classroom with her palms overlapping, making a slap gesture, but her face was a little embarrassed. This teacher is not the head teacher, she is just the teacher in this class. When the class was about to start, she walked into the classroom and bumped into the scene where Zhang Yansheng kicked Wang Qian to the ground. The teacher was furious. She opened her mouth and sucked all her breath into her throat. She was about to shout to stop the riot, when she suddenly heard the girl who started it yelling, ¡°Why can¡¯t you study hard?¡± Teacher: ¡°¡­¡± The prepared shout failed to make a sound. The teacher opened her mouth and listened to the girl¡¯s every sentence, and every sentence was said from her heart! D*mn it! What a girl with a clear mind! Historically, Class 8 has been a drag for Yi High School. Fortunately, the Yi High School has a countermeasure. The records of the students in Class 8 are not listed in Yi High School, but in another ordinary high school under the same education group as Yi High School. In this way, the college entrance examination scores of these children are not regarded as from Yi High School, and it will not lower the entrance rate of the school. This is the so-called shadow school. But despite this operation, the school still has to be careful daily to prevent these rich second generations and second-generation officials from ruining the school spirit. None of the teachers like Class 8. They looked down at the students in Class 8, which is too contrasting with other classes, and it is not very pleasing to the eyes. Just now, the teacher thought it was an infighting in Class 8, but only after listening to it, she realized that it was obvious that the students in Class 8 had provoked this girl, whom she didn¡¯t know from which class. Although this girl has a bad temper, she didn¡¯t miss any point in her words! It¡¯s so cool for the teacher to hear it in her ears! She can¡¯t help but want to applaud her! She woke up with a slap in the face ¡ª she is a teacher! When one student beats another student, how can she applaud it?! Fortunately, the class bell rang in time, which resolved her embarrassment. The teacher simply clapped her hands twice, raised her voice and said, ¡°Go back to your seats! These two students, yes, you and you, come here, come to the front.¡± As early as when Wang Qian put on a weak posture, Zhang Yansheng had guessed that it was a teacher who came. Three years of plastic friendship, Zhang Yansheng really knows Wang Qian too well. Zhang Yansheng glanced at Wang Qian and walked to the front of the podium. Wang Qian was helped up and limped over. This time, she didn¡¯t need to pretend to be weak. Zhang Yansheng kicked her several times just now! It really hurts! Tears are coming out! ¡°Teacher, she hit me¡­¡± Wang Qian cried directly. The teacher was noncommittal and first asked Zhang Yansheng: ¡°This student, which class are you from?¡± Zhang Yansheng replied calmly: ¡°Class 2.¡± Class 2 is one of the preparatory classes in this school. To be able to enter in Class 2, you must be a good student in the Top 100 within the same year level. Class 2 versus Class 8, the teacher¡¯s ass crooked directly to Zhang Yansheng¡¯s side. ¡°Class starts now, don¡¯t influence other classmates here, go and follow me to the dean¡¯s office.¡± The teacher said to the other students again, ¡°The rest of you, study by yourselves first. Class leader, maintain the discipline.¡± How could the monitor maintain the discipline of this young master class? As soon as the teacher left, there was an uproar in the class. ¡°Zhang Yansheng is too arrogant!¡± ¡°But I think she is super cool!¡± ¡°What the hell was she talking about just now, I was so fucking dumbfounded! How can she just talk about learning?¡± ¡°That¡¯s what I think as well!¡± Some people even ridiculed Xu Lichen: ¡°Will she be punished like you? That would be interesting.¡± Before Xu Lichen answered, there were already girls from Wang Qian¡¯s small group rushing to say, ¡°She should be punished! Too arrogant! Punishment must be done!¡± Students like them actually don¡¯t care about punishment. Like Xu Lichen, he was triumphant when he got a punishment, as if he had won a medal. But they thought that Zhang Yansheng was in Class 2, and they were most afraid of punishments, criticisms, and the like for such decent and good students like them. If Zhang Yansheng can get a punishment, they can breathe a sigh of relief. Xu Lichen sneered. Zhang Yansheng, a person who knows how to keep a low profile, since she dares to act so arrogantly, that means that she doesn¡¯t put the school rules, sanctions, and the like in her eyes. Thinking that everyone thought that Zhang Yansheng was just an ordinary good student, and only he knew Zhang Yansheng¡¯s true face, Xu Lichen was suddenly very happy. He raised his eyebrows and said wickedly: ¡°That¡¯s just right, we will be punished as a couple.¡± There was another burst of laughter, mixed with the monitor¡¯s weak ¡°Quiet! Self-study!¡± sound, there were also whispers and unwilling curses from the small group of girls. The teacher took Zhang Yansheng and Wang Qian to the dean¡¯s office. The first sentence of reporting the situation to the dean almost made Wang Qian¡¯s nose crooked ¡ª ¡°As soon as I entered the class, I saw these two female students having a physical conflict.¡± What does she mean by ¡®having a physical conflict¡¯?! It is clear that Zhang Yansheng beat her unilaterally, okay!!! This teacher¡¯s ass is going to be tilted to the Atlantic Ocean! Wang Qian opened her mouth and retorted: ¡°No! It was Zhang Yansheng who rushed into our class and beat people¡­¡± The teacher¡¯s face sank and reprimanded her: ¡°This student, the teacher hasn¡¯t finished speaking yet! Don¡¯t you know that it is basic courtesy not to interrupt when others are talking?¡± Wang Qian choked on being reprimanded, so she had to shut up bitterly. The teacher then reported to the dean: ¡°I don¡¯t have a clear idea of the cause and effect. As soon as I walked in, I heard this female student from Class 2 questioning the female student from Class 8¡­¡± The teacher deliberately and clearly repeated what Zhang Yansheng said. Sure enough, in the eyes of the teacher and the dean, they saw the gaze of mutual understanding. That was¡­ the touch of ¡®feeling connected with their hearts¡¯. As soon as they entered the door, the dean was taken aback when he saw Zhang Yansheng. Because of Xu Lichen¡¯s punishment incident before, he was very impressed with Zhang Yansheng. At that time, he heard that a rich second-generation boy in Class 8 was entangled with a female student in Class 2, so the dean became furious ¡ª you poor kids still dare to mess with my good students? You must be taught a lesson! Afterwards, he remembered to look through Zhang Yansheng¡¯s information and was surprised to find that this beautiful girl¡­ also has the same household condition! How did she get into Class 2? The director verified the results of her placement test and found that although she passed with a low altitude, it was right that her result should be assigned to Class 2 or 3. He also suspected Zhang Yansheng of cheating. He naturally distrusts these children who spend money to come in. For this reason, he also specifically went to Zhang Yansheng¡¯s class teacher. The head teacher said, ¡°I have always paid attention to this student.¡± At that time, the first monthly exam hadn¡¯t happened yet. The head teacher transferred out Zhang Yansheng¡¯s usual morning test scores and said, ¡°It looks okay at the moment. The placement test result she got should be the real score.¡± The dean was relieved. He didn¡¯t expect that the school would be able to collect money and bring in someone who could enter the preparatory class. It was really a steady profit without loss! The dean just didn¡¯t expect to see Zhang Yansheng in his office again so soon. He listened to the teacher repeat what Zhang Yansheng had said, and he was ¡®in a daze¡¯ in his heart. This kid! How can you talk so sweetly! She just said everything all the teachers wanted to say! After the class teacher explained the situation and secretly hinted at her own tendency, she hurried back to the class and handed both Zhang Yansheng and Wang Qian to the dean. But the dean¡¯s heart has already turned to the Atlantic Ocean! ¡°Zhang Yansheng, right? Tell me, why did the two of you have a conflict?¡± The dean took the baton handed over by the teacher, and first came up to characterize the incident as ¡®the two sides are in physical conflict with each other¡¯, rather than one party unilaterally beating the other party. Wang Qian had a bad feeling when she heard it. In the past, no matter what she did, she could always hide behind others, and in the end, if something happened, she could always clear herself. But this time, she inexplicably felt¡­ not very good. ¡°Teacher, it¡¯s her¡­¡± She wanted to interrupt again. The dean waved his hand and said impatiently: ¡°One by one!¡± Wang Qian had to shut her mouth again. Zhang Yansheng briefly stated: ¡°This classmate Wang Qian, because she didn¡¯t like me, had cooperated with five other girls before the holiday and held me in the women¡¯s toilet of the subway station in an attempt to teach me a lesson.¡± The Ministry of Education has repeatedly stated that it is necessary to put an end to bullying on schools. This is the key work in the past two years. When the dean heard this, his face immediately sank, he looked at Wang Qian sharply, and asked, ¡°Student Wang, is that right?¡± How could Wang Qian obediently confess her guilt, so she immediately denied it: ¡°We didn¡¯t, we just wanted to talk to her! As a result, she beat us up! She bullied us!¡± She put the blame on Zhang Yansheng with a backhand. Zhang Yansheng let out a cry and said, ¡°Dean, I am alone and there are six of them.¡± No matter how much Wang Qian quibbled, this number of people alone was enough to explain the problem. After Zhang Yansheng finished speaking, she turned her head and asked Wang Qian: ¡°I am from Class 2 and you are from Class 8. Before that, I had never talked to you nor did I know you. What did you want to talk to me about with a group of people?¡± ¡°That¡¯s right.¡± The dean also asked in a deep voice, ¡°What do you want to talk to her about?¡± Wang Qian was speechless. She can¡¯t say that it¡¯s about Xu Lichen, right? Isn¡¯t that f*cking bullying someone after falling into the pit of puppy love? ¡°Dean.¡± Zhang Yansheng suddenly leaned over and picked up the pen on the director¡¯s desk, tore up a piece of memo paper, wrote down a few names, and handed it over, ¡°These are the names of those girls.¡± She remembered that she had just said that she didn¡¯t know Wang Qian at all before, and she explained to herself: ¡°I found out afterwards.¡± The dean took the note and glanced at it, and asked Zhang Yansheng, ¡°Were you injured at the time?¡± ¡°No.¡± Zhang Yan said vaguely, ¡°I¡¯m strong so they can¡¯t hurt me, it was just an attempt.¡± The dean breathed a sigh of relief. Wang Qian didn¡¯t say anything at this time. They were bullied by Zhang Yansheng. She was surprised that Zhang Yansheng could figure out the names of everyone in the small group. The list proves that it was really six versus one. No matter how Zhang Yansheng bullies them, it is estimated that the director will not believe it. Zhang Yansheng continued: ¡°Then a few of them, under Wang Qian¡¯s instructions, spread rumors that slandered me. In order to spread this rumor to our class, they struck up a conversation with the classmates in my class. I only learned about it when my classmates came to complain to me. The students in Class 2 usually fight against the clock. We are even brushing up questions during lunch breaks. Because of me, they were harassed and delayed their studies. I was angry for a while, so I went to confront Wang Qian.¡± ¡°I understand.¡± The dean stood up and said, ¡°Okay, Zhang Yansheng, go back to your class first. Wang Qian, come with me.¡± Zhang Yansheng responded, followed him out of the office, and went back to the classroom of Class 2. It¡¯s been 10 minutes since the class started. The dean also said hello to the teacher in the class: ¡°I had something to discuss with this student just now.¡± The teacher did not reprimand Zhang Yansheng. The dean took Wang Qian to Class 8 and let her go back, but according to the note given by Zhang Yansheng, he called out the other five girls. He took all these five girls to the office, held up the sticky note, and wanted to ask one of them the first question. However, he saw that one of the five names was Zou Zihan with a horizontal line underneath Zhang Yansheng¡¯s name. The director subconsciously called Zou Zihan for the first question. Zhang Yansheng drew a line under Zou Zihan¡¯s name because Zou Zihan was particularly instigated. The other girls were still racking their brains thinking about how to make up nonsense and shirk responsibility. When she was called out by the director, she was so scared and told him everything: ¡°Wang Qian told us to do it.¡± She twisted her fingers and said, ¡°What I didn¡¯t think carefully about was when she said that Zhang Yansheng must be taught a lesson.¡± The other girls looked at each other. At this time, no one can take the pot on oneself anymore. Everyone gave each other a meaningful glance and reached an agreement. ¡°Wang Qian didn¡¯t let us go.¡± ¡°Xu Lichen likes Zhang Yansheng, but Wang Qian likes Xu Lichen, so she wants to teach Zhang Yansheng a lesson.¡± ¡°We just merely followed her.¡± ¡°It was all Wang Qian!¡± Plastic has never been strong. It is particularly easy to crack. CH 63 Wang Qian didn¡¯t know that her sister group had sold her out together. She just didn¡¯t feel very good. She always felt that the teachers in this school were partial to Zhang Yansheng, unlike her previous school, because her family had donated a lot of money to that school, so the teachers were very kind to her. When the sister group came back from the teachers¡¯ office, she asked everyone what they had said to the dean, and they were all hesitant trying to dodge her questions. Wang Qian felt that something was wrong in her heart, but no one was willing to tell her the truth. If these few joined forces to sell Wang Qian, they would definitely not be able to stand with Wang Qian anymore. Zhang Yansheng didn¡¯t care about this at all. Punishment or something, she was used to it from her previous life, so Zhang Yansheng didn¡¯t take it seriously. She is now busy making up notes! Because of Wang Qian, she was late in the class and a lot of notes were left behind. She was also polite and went directly to the future champion Zhang Zhiyuan. She just walked over and before speaking, Zhang Zhiyuan smiled slightly, and already handed over his notes: ¡°Quickly copy it, there is a lot of homework today.¡± Zhang Yansheng let out a ¡°hiss¡± like a toothache, and said, ¡°Thank you.¡± There is no shyness of ordinary girls, but she is not the kind of girl who is very boyish and carefree. She is¡­ very special. Zhang Zhiyuan brushed two major questions, and couldn¡¯t help but raise his eyes to see her back while writing, a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. With this faint smile, the young man lowered his head to continue solving the question. Thinking, solving, calculating, checking, every step is full of joy. In such a class with a positive and energetic style of study, between the tiredness of studying, he can see an unmovable back and will be filled with happiness as soon as he lifts his eyes. High school is great. There was indeed a lot of homework on this day, and Zhang Yansheng even ate dinner very quickly. At the dinner table, Zhang Heling glanced at her from time to time, always wanting to talk, but Zhang Yansheng was thinking about the half-solved problem in her mind, and she didn¡¯t pay attention to anything at all. When she finally finished all her homework, she leaned back in the chair and breathed a sigh of relief. D*mn, high school is so hard! After some stretching, she went downstairs and had a late-night snack. After eating and carrying a drink upstairs, Zhang Heling¡¯s door suddenly opened with a creak, and the little girl looked out sneakily from the crack in the door. ¡°¡­What are you doing?¡± Zhang Yansheng stretched out a finger and poked her forehead through the crack of the door. ¡°Why haven¡¯t you slept yet?¡± Zhang Heling opened the door, hugged her hand and dragged it in: ¡°Sister, I have something to tell you.¡± Zhang Yansheng was dragged into the room by her, holding a glass: ¡°What¡¯s the matter? Go to bed quickly after speaking, children are not allowed to stay up late.¡± ¡°Aren¡¯t you not asleep as well?¡± The child said with dissatisfaction. ¡°Can you compare with a high school student?¡± Zhang Yansheng flicked her forehead, ¡°How much homework do I have? How much homework do you have? Say it, what¡¯s the matter?¡± Zhang Heling rubbed her forehead, muttered a few times before saying, ¡°Do you remember Qin Hao? The one I told you before.¡± Zhang Yansheng remembered this name! She blinked: ¡°What happened?¡± Zhang Heling let out a ¡°cough¡± and said, ¡°I told him what you asked me to say to him¡­¡± ¡°¡­¡± Zhang Yansheng was speechless, ¡°You just said it now? It¡¯s been so many days since I told you about it?¡± Zhang Heling stammered and said: ¡°Well, there is no way I can say that all of a sudden, ah. I have to ponder about it¡­¡± ¡°You are a little coward.¡± Zhang Yansheng sneered, ¡°Then, what did you say, how did he behave?¡± Zhang Heling¡¯s toes made circles on the ground. ¡°Well, he pulled my braids again today, but my rubber band broke, so I became angry and asked him that.¡± The little girl seemed to have entered a new stage of her life, and began to face some strange things that she had never thought of before, ¡°And then he just¡­¡± Zhang Heling was angry and it happened to be in the corridor on the side of the building. There was no one nearby for a few meters, and the people who could be seen were not from their class. Zhang Heling finally plucked up the courage, stared into the boy¡¯s eyes like Zhang Yansheng taught her, and asked in a deep voice, ¡°Qin Hao, do you¡­ like me?¡± Then she watched this naughty and annoying boy, starting from his neck, a patch of red spread upward until it covered his entire face and rushed to the top of his head. The little boy seemed to have suddenly lost all his courage and guts, becoming the most timid quail in the world, and ran away with his tail sandwiched between his legs. ¡°Then what?¡± Zhang Yansheng sipped a drink and listened to the gossip of her little sister. Zhang Heling said, ¡°Then he never talked to me again. When I looked at him, he was like this¡­¡± She made an appearance of lowering her head and staring only at the tip of her shoe, which was quite vivid. Zhang Yansheng laughed, then finally held back and said, ¡°Look, you just killed it with one blow.¡± But Zhang Heling¡¯s troubles have just begun. ¡°What should I do from now on? Will he never talk to me again? Will he come and provoke me again? What about me, what should I do? Do I have to talk to him first? Or should I just ignore him?¡± The little girl asked like a cannonball. Zhang Yansheng thought for a while and said, ¡°If this kind of thing is exposed, he wouldn¡¯t dare to come and provoke you again. As for you, think carefully if you want to ignore him or not.¡± Zhang Heling¡¯s face was a little red, and she was careful to verify: ¡°So he¡­ actually likes me?¡± Without saying a word, Zhang Yansheng squeezed her cheek and pulled it out: ¡°What are you thinking? Puppy love is not allowed in elementary school. You have to wait until the beginning of high school¡­ No! College!¡± Zhang Yansheng actually thinks it¡¯s good to fall in love in high school. People are still pure, especially simple, and their feelings are sincere. But her younger sister is too stupid and has never experienced severe social beatings. Even if she falls in love on campus, she may be scammed by boys. So, she has to wait until she¡¯s in college. When she went to school the next day, Xiao Zhou said before the car stopped: ¡°That boy is here again.¡± Zhang Yansheng glanced at it, and sure enough, Xu Lichen¡¯s car had already stopped there. Seeing her get out of the car, the car also opened the door, and Xu Lichen ran over. Because of the many years of combat training, he is stronger and dressed better than other boys of the same age. After running these steps, his sense of strength and youth are jumping as if they are about to spout out. Zhang Yansheng couldn¡¯t help but glance twice in the morning light. In the morning light, Xu Lichen raised his eyebrows with a smile, and came over to complain: ¡°I wanted to find you after school yesterday, but you had already left, and I couldn¡¯t catch you. Why did you leave so early?¡± Yesterday, when Zhang Yansheng looked at the amount of homework, she got in the car and went home after school. Xu Lichen, who wanted to catch her, threw himself into the air. ¡°There is so much homework that I have to finish.¡± Zhang Yansheng asked rhetorically, ¡°Don¡¯t you hurry home and do your homework, do you want me to wait for you to waste time together?¡± Xu Lichen was speechless, in the end, there is still a wall between good students and bad students. He had to change the subject and asked, ¡°What happened yesterday? You suddenly lost your temper.¡± In fact, the rumor is very simple. As long as Zhang Yansheng asks the driver to pick her up at the school gate before and after school, then this will solve the issue. Xu Lichen was just curious whether Zhang Yansheng would continue to keep a low profile and ignore him, or just break the game. But he didn¡¯t expect that Zhang Yansheng would hit the door without saying a word, her temper exploded! Thinking of her mad appearance yesterday, Xu Lichen¡¯s eyes lit up. Zhang Yansheng asked, ¡°What is your ranking from the recent monthly exam?¡± ¡°¡­¡± Xu Lichen, ¡°Huh?¡± Zhang Yansheng didn¡¯t squint: ¡°I don¡¯t talk to people who are within the bottom 100 ranking in the same grade.¡± After speaking, she shook her hands and left. Xu Lichen stayed there. After a while, he looked at Zhang Yansheng¡¯s back and cursed, ¡°F*ck!¡± The incident of Zhang Yansheng beating up the girls in Class 8 yesterday finally reached Class 2 today. There was a ¡°wow¡± sound in the class. The girls in Class 8 behaved sneeringly and spoke ill of others across the class. This behavior made the students in Class 2 feel puzzled and unacceptable. The students in Class 2 all stood by Zhang Yansheng. Everyone especially admired Zhang Yansheng¡¯s hands-on style, not sloppy at all. ¡°As expected of Zhang Yansheng!¡±, they said. The girls in the class who had been entangled by Wang Qian¡¯s small group also comforted Zhang Yansheng: ¡°Don¡¯t worry, we can go to the teachers¡¯ office to testify for you, they are the first to spread the rumors everywhere.¡± Zhang Yansheng hooked the corners of his mouth obliquely, and said disdainfully: ¡°The big deal is just a punishment, but it¡¯s not really a big deal for me.¡± Hey Zhang Yansheng, don¡¯t just smile so evilly and madly! It¡¯s raising the standards for people to find boyfriends! As a result, the students from Class 8 yesterday were still speculating whether Zhang Yansheng, who was in Class 2, would be punished by the school if she broke in and hit someone, but they were all slapped in the face collectively today. The punishment was indeed there, but it was not for Zhang Yansheng. Wang Qian was given a demerit as punishment, and the other five girls received a verbal warning. Xu Lichen¡¯s previous punishment was nothing more than a warning, and Wang Qian¡¯s punishment was more serious than his. Once it was announced, the Class 8 was in an uproar. The dean took up a full 10-minute time between classes, stood on the podium, and talked about the philosophy and principles of eliminating bullying on campus in a stern tone. ¡°Our Yi High School has a long history and an upright school atmosphere. We will never allow a precedent where a grain of mouse sh*t spoils a pot of porridge!¡± The students in other classes were ignorant, and the students in Class 8 heard something out of the way. Someone asked the girls what was going on. The girls were deflated under Zhang Yansheng¡¯s hands. Who would be happy to tell others that Zhang Yansheng pressed their heads and drank the sink water inside the women¡¯s toilet? It was so dirty and disgusting that they refused to say anything. It was Xu Lichen who leaked the truth: ¡°They wanted to teach Zhang Yansheng a lesson, but they were taught by her instead.¡± It dawned on everyone, thinking back to Zhang Yansheng¡¯s ferocity yesterday, there was a lot of ¡®tsk tsk¡¯ sound. Someone put his arm around Xu Lichen¡¯s neck and squinted at him: ¡°Okay, this time you¡¯ll be punished with Wang Qian as a couple.¡± Xu Lichen pushed him away: ¡°Get out!¡± The man said sternly, ¡°Zhang Yansheng is very prideful and arrogant, you might as well just follow Wang Qian.¡± Xu Lichen raised his foot and kicked him. After the school bell rang, Xu Lichen returned to his seat, but thought of what Zhang Yansheng said in the morning, not to speak to people within the bottom 100 ranking in the grade. It¡¯s f*cking ridiculous. Xu Lichen has never heard anyone talk like this before when he grows so old. What kind of thing is academic performance? Even if the students in the top class and the preparatory classes study well, it will be great for future doctors, post-doctors and the like, with an annual salary of one million yuan. But isn¡¯t he still the one who pays their wages? But when Zhang Yansheng said that, there was a clear contempt and rejection, as if the two of them are not the same species. And she is not joking, she is serious. It seems that she really looks down on him. Xu Lichen had an inexplicable feeling of blockage in his heart, and he held it there. He went to take a look at the rankings and counted up to 10+. There are 80 to 90 students from his rank. Xu Lichen put an arm on the back of the chair, pursing his lips and blowing on his forehead. Most people have self-esteem. After stabbing Xu Lichen with the deliberate sentence ¡°I don¡¯t want to talk to people within the bottom 100 ranking in the same grade¡±, Xu Lichen really stopped pursuing her. Zhang Yansheng was able to study quietly in school. Soon it was the second monthly exam, and when the results came down, Zhang Yansheng looked at her ranking first. She has climbed two places higher than last time, but overall, the general position has not changed. Looking at Zhang Zhiyuan again, apart from being tall in the class, this boy was silent and unobtrusive. His results of the second monthly exam were also silent, and he climbed up quietly. Finally, she couldn¡¯t help but glance at the ranking of the grades again. She remembered the last time she saw Xu Lichen was about the bottom 10 in the whole grade, right? Zhang Yansheng looked from the back to the front and found it quickly. Xu Lichen actually climbed more than a dozen places in one breath this time. Although the results of those at the bottom of the rankings may be able to climb one or two places with just one or two points, but still¡­ Zhang Yansheng couldn¡¯t help but curl up the corners of her mouth somehow. CH 64 Entering autumn, the temperature quickly cooled down. This is followed by the midterm exam. This is the first midterm exam after entering Yi High School. After this exam, a new class arrangement will be faced by the first-year high school students. Zhang Yansheng was like facing a big enemy, and she studied behind closed doors at home every night during the week of the exam. The two little ones muttered, Zhang Huan heard them and asked curiously, ¡°What¡¯s wrong with your sister?¡± Before Zhang Heling spoke, Zhang Shuocheng gloated and rushed to say, ¡°My sister has become a nerd. Hahahaha!¡± Zhang Heling knocked him on the head and said to Zhang Huan, ¡°My sister is studying very hard now. I got up to drink water at night and saw that there was still light in her room.¡± Which parent would not like their children studying hard? Zhang Huan immediately smiled, and then straightened his face: ¡°Look at your sister, then you two, go and study as well. You¡¯ll be spanked if you don¡¯t study well!¡± No child is happy to be reprimanded by an adult. The two little ones scattered like birds and beasts. Zhang Huan wandered up to the second floor, and when he saw that Zhang Yansheng¡¯s door was closed, he went up and knocked on the door. Zhang Yansheng came over to open the door and was a little surprised when she saw him: ¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡± ¡°What happened to you staying up late recently?¡± Zhang Huan asked with concern. Zhang Yansheng said impatiently: ¡°It¡¯s time for the midterm exam.¡± Zhang Huan suddenly said ¡°Oh¨C¡± and told her: ¡°Don¡¯t stay up too late, you have to pay attention to your body.¡± Such nonsense can¡¯t take the exam for her. Zhang Yansheng rolled her eyes and said, ¡°The classes are adjusted in the middle of the semester, and the students in the last positions will be eliminated. If you don¡¯t want me to fall into the ordinary class and shame you, don¡¯t delay my review time.¡± Zhang Huan hurriedly said, ¡°Okay, don¡¯t delay, you study, go and study well.¡± Zhang Huan still wanted to speak, but Zhang Yansheng had already slammed the door, which almost clamped Zhang Huan¡¯s nose. Zhang Huan shrank his neck, leaned his mouth against the door and shouted, ¡°You go to bed early, don¡¯t work too hard.¡± He shouted again: ¡°Dad will add pocket money to you.¡± Zhang Yansheng¡¯s cellphone soon rang with a tone. Zhang Yansheng picked it up and took a look, and saw the extra pocket money had arrived. In the previous life, when she needed his care and discipline so much, how could he ignore her? In this life, she was studying consciously and voluntarily, and didn¡¯t need him to worry at all, so why is he so forthright now? It¡¯s pure nonsense! The idea of doing the questions has been disrupted! Zhang Yansheng threw the cellphone aside angrily, and focused on the major question again. The more she dwelt on it, the dizzier she felt, and couldn¡¯t figure it out. Tomorrow, she still has to find Zhang Zhiyuan to explain to her the idea of this topic! He speaks very clearly. ¡­¡­ When the last subject of the midterm exam was finally over, the papers were put away, and the bell rang afterwards, Zhang Yansheng made a big ¡°whew¡± sound. Unexpectedly, her voice was drowned in the same exhalation. Turning her head and looking around, the classmates all have a look of ¡®finally over¡¯ in their faces. Some even rolled their eyes mischievously while lying on the table: ¡°I¡¯m dead, you need to burn some paper offerings.¡± Zhang Yansheng felt amused. She thought that in this class, she was the only trash who squeezed in, and the others were true tyrants, so she was the only one who faced the pressure of exams. Unexpectedly, everyone was actually under so much pressure. She couldn¡¯t help but curl her lips and smiled. The girl in front of her looked back and wanted to talk to her, but suddenly her eyes flashed, she leaned over and lowered her voice, and said sneakily: ¡°Zhang Zhiyuan is looking at you.¡± As soon as Zhang Yansheng turned her head, she bumped into the boy¡¯s gaze. The young man was at a loss for a moment, and then he just stopped and turned his head to talk to others. It¡¯s just that the posture is a bit unnatural. The girl in front laughed happily, and winked at other girls. The classroom seems to be flooded with adolescent hormones. Zhang Yansheng turned her head back. The girl in front lowered her voice and asked her, ¡°To be honest, are you two¡­¡± Zhang Yansheng grabbed the fat from her cheeks: ¡°Our school rules prohibit puppy love.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t pull, let go! My face is so big! It can¡¯t get bigger!¡± The girl slapped to break free from Zhang Yansheng¡¯s clutches, rubbed her face and said, ¡°Everyone says you two are a pair! You are really not generous enough. You won¡¯t even tell us!¡± Zhang Yansheng said, ¡°Don¡¯t talk nonsense.¡± The girl made a grimace, obviously not convinced. Zhang Yansheng was reminded because of this, and felt that she needed to restrain herself. After rebirth, Zhang Yansheng has always looked at classmates of the same age with a kind look for your younger brothers and sisters. This attitude has made the girls in the class like to be coquettish with her now, and she didn¡¯t feel much about the boys. For Zhang Zhiyuan, she felt that she has to make the best use of everything, and she can¡¯t waste it with a college entrance examination champion by her side. If she doesn¡¯t understand anything in her studies, she often asks Zhang Zhiyuan for advice. Zhang Zhiyuan also always helped her patiently. Zhang Yansheng thought it was nothing. In fact, if it were someone else, Zhang Yansheng actually felt that it would be no big deal for them to fall in love even if they were in high school. But Zhang Zhiyuan is different, he is the champion of the college entrance examination. For the college entrance examination, tens of thousands of students squeeze a single-plank bridge, it is such a fierce competition. In case he¡¯d missed getting into Q University because of her influence, or even if he didn¡¯t miss the Q University, but lost the title of champion¡­ Zhang Yansheng would really feel so guilty about it. In the future, she has to pay attention to keeping a distance from Zhang Zhiyuan, Zhang Yansheng thought inwardly. Two days later, the results of the midterm exam that made everyone fearful came out. At the same time, the teacher announced the first adjustment list of class members for the first year of high school. No one could have imagined that for the first adjustment, two students entered the top class and five students fell into the ordinary class. The students felt huge competitive pressure all of a sudden. Zhang Yansheng¡¯s midterm exam results ranked 11th from the bottom in Class 2, which was even better than the previous monthly exam, and she landed safely. Zhang Yansheng wiped a cold sweat from her forehead. Looking at Zhang Zhiyuan¡¯s results again, sure enough, he jumped up again without making a sound. This boy is not the kind of outstanding talent, but he fights steadily and goes up bit by bit. This achievement of climbing all the way, made Zhang Yansheng faintly feel an indescribable sense of power from it. She couldn¡¯t help turning her head to look back again, and once again bumped into Zhang Zhiyuan¡¯s sight. This time the teenager did not avoid, he met her gaze, pursed his lips and smiled, and gave a thumbs up. One would not know if he is proud of his progress or praising Zhang Yansheng¡¯s progress. Or maybe both? In short, it is very youthful and cute. Zhang Yansheng couldn¡¯t help but smile at the boy. After smiling, she remembered that she had thought about keeping a distance from each other, didn¡¯t she? She quickly put away her smile and turned her head. In the back row, Zhang Zhiyuan tried hard to control his smile, but the corners of his mouth couldn¡¯t help but curl up. The five classmates walked very tragically. Everyone was sullen, their mouths pursed tightly, as if they were going to the execution ground. Most of the other students in the class looked at them with a kind of sadness, as if they were the next to leave. The students who fell from the top class hung their heads when they entered the class and did not greet others. They seemed to be not interested in meeting new classmates. It is conceivable that the five people who fell out of their class probably looked like this when they went to the ordinary class. Only the students who climbed up from the ordinary class had shiny faces when they entered the door, and there was a little excitement or joy in their eyes. After sitting down, they also took the initiative to exchange names with the surrounding classmates, obviously wanting to integrate into the new class group as soon as possible. A completely different mentality. Zhang Yansheng looked at it with her cheeks up, quite perceptive. If she is to follow Zhang Zhiyuan¡¯s rate of progress, he will probably go to the top class in the next adjustment, right? Then all the way up. Although they are in the same school, in this class, what is the pain of youth? Being absent from school, smoking and drinking, crying late at night, what are these things? The dream of drunkenness and death in her previous life seemed to be just a dream. Zhang Yansheng couldn¡¯t help but smile, and her mood became relaxed and bright. After the mid-term exams, the atmosphere was obviously relaxed for a few days, and there was no longer a situation where everyone was quietly brushing questions during breaks. Of course, the atmosphere of learning has always been maintained. It¡¯s just that it¡¯s not as depressing and stressful as before. On this day, Zhang Yansheng was present in the class. The head teacher suddenly appeared at the door, greeted the other teacher, and then called her out: ¡°Your father called to help you ask for leave and said that there is something urgent at home. He will come to pick you up and will be here in a while.¡± Zhang Yansheng was taken aback and asked, ¡°Did he tell you what happened?¡± ¡°No.¡± The head teacher comforted her and said, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, there are adults in everything.¡± The head teacher and Zhang Yansheng wanted to go together. When the parents suddenly call their children to ask for leave, generally, it¡¯s because a family member suddenly fell ill or had an accident. Since it was Zhang Huan who called, he himself should be fine. So, who will it be? If it was Liang Yingying, Zhang Huan would not call her. He was not a fool. Liang Yingying having an accident has nothing to do with her. Could it be Hehe? Or grandma? Zhang Yansheng hurriedly packed up her things and left the classroom. The girls who had a good relationship with her and Zhang Zhiyuan in the back row all glanced at her worriedly. Zhang Yansheng hurried to the door of the school, and sure enough, Zhang Huan¡¯s car arrived in no time. Without waiting for the driver to come down and open the door, Zhang Yansheng opened the door and got into the car. Zhang Huan was sitting inside, frowning at her. Zhang Yansheng¡¯s heart sank, she suppressed her anxiety, and asked as calmly as possible: ¡°What happened?¡± ¡°Ah¡­¡± Zhang Huan stopped talking, as if he had something to say that was not easy to say. This made Zhang Yansheng more anxious: ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± Zhang Huan cleared his throat and finally said, ¡°Ahem, well, everything is okay, it¡¯s just that¡­ the head teacher of Shuoshuo called me to come over. I thought that since he listens to you more now, so I just want you to come with me.¡± Zhang Yansheng: ¡°¡­¡± The air in the car was quiet for a few seconds. Zhang Yansheng pulled the door lock with her backhand without saying a word! ¡°Hey Yanyan! Yanyan! Yanyan!¡± Zhang Huan came over and held her arm, ¡°Give Dad a face! Ah, give a face! Just go with Dad!¡± ¡°Dad will double your pocket money!¡± ¡°Double¨C!¡± CH 65 Enchantress12-15 minutes 05.02.2022 With a stinky face, Zhang Yansheng listened to Zhang Huan telling her what happened in the car. Unsurprisingly, it was Zhang Shuocheng who made trouble at school again. Zhang Huan received a call from his head teacher today and asked him to go there. In short, Zhang Huan was invited as a parent for counselling. Zhang Huan also wanted to tell the teacher to let the child¡¯s mother go there instead. But the teacher¡¯s stern voice came from the other end of the call: ¡°Do you know why I chose to call you? This is my second year as Zhang Shuocheng¡¯s head teacher. In the past year, I have dealt with your wife many times. She is very unsupportive of our teacher¡¯s work and even caused us a lot of difficulties. Her attitude greatly influenced Zhang Shuocheng¡¯s attitude. So, in today¡¯s situation, I hope to be able to communicate with you face to face. I know you are very busy at work, but I sincerely hope you can make some time for your child.¡± The head teacher didn¡¯t know how angry she was with Liang Yingying and Zhang Shuocheng, and her attitude was very tough. Zhang Huan was scornful and had no choice but to agree. When he hung up the call, thinking of Zhang Shuocheng¡¯s virtues, his brain hurt immediately. He knew in his heart that he might not be able to control Zhang Shuocheng if he went there. This kid might have to lie on the ground and roll and cry, and he would be embarrassed by that time. Thinking of this, he couldn¡¯t help but complain to the driver, complaining that Liang Yingying doesn¡¯t know how to educate her children. The driver smiled and said, ¡°I heard Xiao Zhou say that Miss Yanyan is very good at managing Shuoshuo now. He said that when he sent Shuoshuo to school, Miss Hehe used Miss Yanyan to scare him. He would pout and would be angry, but he didn¡¯t dare to disobey.¡± Zhang Huan, who was invited to be a parent, seemed to hear a ¡®ding¡® above his head! That¡¯s right, there is still Yanyan who can stop that little brat, Zhang Shuocheng! ¡°You don¡¯t need to do anything. I¡¯ll be the one to talk to the teacher.¡± Zhang Huan said with shyness, ¡°Just calm him down and don¡¯t let him lie on the ground and roll around to embarrass me.¡± Zhang Yansheng¡¯s voice sounded: ¡°Do you know how many classes you have delayed me? Do you know how many notes I need to make up for them?!¡± ¡°Slowly make up, just slowly make them up. Don¡¯t be angry.¡± Zhang Huan hurriedly smoothed her out, comfortingly said, ¡°Look, your current academic performance is not very good now, so don¡¯t worry too much.¡± Zhang Huan smiled and said, ¡°Don¡¯t stress yourself too much. With you, being like this, Dad is already very satisfied. Our family is not the kind of family that must pursue grades. You are different from those kids. If you keep it like this, Dad will be very satisfied. Very satisfied.¡± In fact, what Zhang Huan said was not completely wrong. Zhang Yansheng is indeed different from her classmates. Grades and academic qualifications only make her life look better, but they do not determine the direction and height of her life. She is only in Class 2 now and the atmosphere of the class is already like that. She can¡¯t help but be coerced into studying hard and dare not relax. But Zhang Yansheng was still so angry that she didn¡¯t want to talk to him. The car went all the way to the school where Zhang Shuocheng and Zhang Heling were studying. Zhang Shuocheng¡¯s head teacher was surprised when she saw that Zhang Shuocheng¡¯s father also brought a young girl. Zhang Huan said, ¡°This is his eldest sister.¡± ¡°Hello.¡± Zhang Yansheng greeted the teacher and asked, ¡°Excuse me, what did Zhang Shuocheng do?¡± As she said that, she glanced at Zhang Shuocheng. Zhang Shuocheng shrank for a moment. Since he saw his eldest sister come in with his father, he was in a bad mood and tried to dismiss the frantic bullet screens in his heart: Why is she here?! Why is she here?! Why is she here?! However, the ¡®she¡¯ came all the way and Zhang Shuocheng couldn¡¯t drive it out. He trembled and his whole attitude changed. The teacher felt something and gave him a strange look. Although she was a little surprised because this girl looked like a high school student, shouldn¡¯t she be in the school at this time? But the focus of the teacher here is Zhang Shuocheng, not his sister. She invited Zhang Huan into the office. Zhang Yansheng didn¡¯t want to follow in and be counseled, so she said, ¡°I¡¯ll wait outside.¡± Zhang Huan was so anxious to be separated from Zhang Shuocheng, as he didn¡¯t want to lose himself in front of the teacher, so he said hurriedly, ¡°Well then, look after your brother.¡± He even gave her a wink! The thought of throwing Zhang Shuocheng to her was as clear as the sky. Zhang Yansheng tried her best not to turn her head and look elsewhere, and she didn¡¯t roll her eyes in front of Zhang Shuocheng¡¯s class teacher. The head teacher also knows Zhang Shuocheng very well. She originally wanted Zhang Shuocheng to go in and talk with Zhang Huan. After thinking about it, she felt that it would be okay to communicate with Zhang Huan first without Zhang Shuocheng¡¯s interruption. After all, when Zhang Shuocheng¡¯s mother was invited last semester, Zhang Shuocheng started to roll and cry all over the floor as soon as he saw his mother, which also left a deep psychological shadow on the teacher. What¡¯s even more terrifying is that the mother didn¡¯t think Zhang Shuocheng had done anything wrong at all. ¡°What¡¯s the big deal? He is still young.¡± She said, ¡°Why are you making such a fuss?¡± It looked like ¡®no one can bully us ¨C mother and son¡¯ or ¡®I¡¯m not easy to provoke¡¯ kind of attitude. The adults went into the office, leaving Zhang Yansheng and Zhang Shuocheng in the corridor staring wide-eyed. Zhang Shuocheng was in trouble today. Seeing Zhang Yansheng¡¯s gaze suppressing him, he couldn¡¯t help but fight with two forces. He subconsciously shrank his neck and wanted to move away from Zhang Yansheng. After the teacher closed the office door, there were echoes of talking and walking in the empty corridor, which was not a place to talk. Seeing Zhang Shuocheng trying to move his position like a quail, Zhang Yansheng snorted, grabbed his neck, and dragged him outside the building. ¡°Tell me, what did you do wrong?¡± She threw him in the sun, crossed her arms and asked. Zhang Shuocheng grew up white and tender, with baby fat on his cheeks, which looked a bit cute in the sun, but he did all those annoying things. In the crafting class, he used scissors to cut the girl¡¯s braids in front of him! Zhang Yansheng took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down, then looked to the left and then to the right. Zhang Shuocheng¡¯s calves trembled when he saw her posture ¡ª his eldest sister was looking for something to take advantage of and wanted to hit him! If his classmates saw him stripped of his pants by his eldest sister and made him cry, Zhang Shuocheng would have no dignity in the future! No one will be afraid of him anymore! Everyone will laugh at him! Zhang Shuocheng became more and more frightened as he thought about it. With a cry, he rushed up and hugged Zhang Yansheng¡¯s thigh: ¡°Sister, I was wrong! I dare not do it again! Don¡¯t beat me up at school! Can you beat me up when we go home instead? Wooo¡­¡± Zhang Yansheng: ¡°???¡± Zhang Yansheng felt that it was hard to explain this situation. Why did he howl before she started to beat him? Howling quite loudly. The blue veins appeared on her forehead: ¡°Shut up!¡± Zhang Shuocheng closed his mouth for a moment. Zhang Yansheng pressed down the blue veins on her forehead and asked, ¡°Why do you want to cut someone¡¯s hair?¡± Zhang Shuocheng muttered for a long time, his voice resembling a mosquito, and she couldn¡¯t hear it clearly. Zhang Yansheng said impatiently: ¡°Speak louder! Have you not eaten enough?¡± Zhang Shuocheng¡¯s voice became louder and said, ¡°Because¡­ it looks good on her.¡± This reason¡­ sounds irritating, and she wants to beat him even more. ¡°What did good-looking people have to do with you! Are you jealous of others?¡± Zhang Yansheng asked. Zhang Shuocheng said, ¡°I¡¯m not jealous. She looks good with braids, so I just want to mess with her.¡± ¡°¡­¡± Zhang Yansheng, ¡°I just asked you the reason why you did that!¡± Zhang Shuocheng repeated: ¡°Because she looks good.¡± Zhang Yansheng suddenly lost her voice. She stared at Zhang Shuocheng for a moment, and asked, ¡°Zhang Shuocheng, do you¡­ like that girl?¡± As soon as these words came out, Zhang Shuocheng, the little brat, even had a trace of shyness on his face. Zhang Yansheng felt that she could not comprehend at all. Just like how Zhang Heling¡¯s male classmate, who is in the fourth grade now, has begun to fall in love. Zhang Shuocheng is very cute! D*mn, why are the kids so precocious one by one now! ¡°You, yes, no, yes¡­ Are you stupid?¡± Zhang Yansheng breathed a sigh of relief, gritted her teeth and poked the little brat¡¯s forehead to ask. With her strong hands, Zhang Shuocheng hugged his head and shrank in tears when he was poked. ¡°If you like someone, do you have to bully her? Why are you, elementary school boys, so stupid?¡± Zhang Yansheng was speechless. She suddenly thought of the evil deeds done by Zhang Shuocheng, who had grown up in her previous life. Normal children will mature slowly as they grow up. For example, the little boy who was pulling Zhang Heling¡¯s braids may grow into a gentle and considerate gentleman in the future. To recall the bullying of the girls he likes in elementary school, he may just smile and cover his eyes later on. Black history is unbearable to look back on. However, Zhang Shuocheng¡¯s growth environment was not good. He grew up in an unregulated, over-indulgent, and undisciplined environment. He did not develop in the direction of maturity, but he completely went in the wrong direction instead. Zhang Yansheng suddenly realized that this moment might be a special time node in Zhang Shuocheng¡¯s life. Just like how she was born again last summer vacation, she had time to think about the future, had time to review, and was admitted to the preparatory class. Since then, she has lived a normal life far from the previous pain of youth, and concentrated only in studying. Zhang Yansheng¡¯s hand poking Zhang Shuocheng¡¯s head stopped and was clenched into a fist. She took a deep breath and squatted down. Zhang Shuocheng was still a little pheasant, Zhang Yansheng squatted down and stared at him. ¡°Zhang Shuocheng, let me ask you this.¡± She stared into the child¡¯s eyes and asked, ¡°If you like someone, do you want that person to like you too?¡± Zhang Shuocheng covered his head and nodded. Zhang Yansheng said, ¡°But if someone don¡¯t like you, would you know that?¡± Zhang Shuocheng blinked. She asked, ¡°If someone came to bully you now, would you like the person who bullied you?¡± Sure enough, Zhang Shuocheng said loudly: ¡°I will hit him!¡± Zhang Yansheng let out a long breath and said, ¡°So, if you bully others, others will not like you. Think about it, am I right?¡± Zhang Shuocheng thought for a while, and then he was a little dumbfounded. Unknowingly, the pattern of his three views were shattered into pieces, an indescribable feeling. Zhang Yansheng looked at him, he was still a child. However, no one had carefully explained things and had given him a good reason for everything when he was a child. No matter what he did wrong, they would always say ¡°he is still young¡±, so as he got older and older, he did more and more wrong things. ¡°Liking a person is not like that.¡± Zhang Yansheng said, ¡°To like someone, you have to be good to her, give her things she likes, do things that makes her happy, and protect her when someone bullies her, instead of being the bad guy who bullied her.¡± ¡°There is a boy who likes me. Do you know what he said to me?¡± At that time, Zhang Yansheng bit her cigarette and smiled. Hearing her say this, Xu Lichen vomited white smoke and laughed wildly. That mad energy made Zhang Yansheng¡¯s heart throbbing, and there seemed to be heat in her body that could not be diffused. She turned her head and took a sip of wine to hide. When she turned back to smoke a cigarette, Xu Lichen held her wrist. The party room was so festive with bright lights, the music was loud, and the demons danced wildly. No one noticed that corner. They almost kissed. If only Wang Qian had not come over with the wine. CH 66 Enchantress11-14 minutes 06.02.2022 Zhang Shuocheng was clueless. Zhang Yansheng suddenly found that it was really difficult for him to understand too much, because he was a child. She had never realized as clearly as she did today that Zhang Shuocheng was really just a child. Very small. ¡°Zhang Shuocheng, don¡¯t be afraid. I won¡¯t hit you today.¡± Zhang Yansheng promised, ¡°I want to reason with you today, because being reasonable is far more important than hitting you.¡± ¡°You¡¯re really not going to hit me?¡± Zhang Shuocheng looked at her with his eyes, a little incredulous. Zhang Yansheng nodded: ¡°I won¡¯t hit.¡± Zhang Shuocheng was greatly relieved. Zhang Yansheng said, ¡°Listen carefully to what I¡¯m going to say.¡± Zhang Shuocheng tightened his body as if standing at attention: ¡°I¡¯m listening!¡± ¡°Listen, you must remember what I¡¯m going to say today. For me, Zhang Yansheng, your eldest sister¡­¡± Zhang Yansheng said, ¡°There is a line in my heart that you must never cross.¡± Zhang Yansheng looked around. The most indispensable thing in school is chalk. Sure enough, in a corner, she saw a chalk tip. Zhang Yansheng walked over and picked up the chalk tip, returned to Zhang Shuocheng and squatted down, drawing a circle around his feet. She put Zhang Shuocheng in a circle. ¡°Like this line, it¡¯s a circle, which encircles you. Inside this circle is yourself, and outside is someone else.¡± ¡°You can do whatever you want in this circle and I won¡¯t care even if you want to stab yourself with a knife.¡± ¡°But remember that if you go out of this circle, then you must not hurt others.¡± ¡°Remember, as long as others don¡¯t take the initiative to hurt you and make you have to defend yourself, you can¡¯t hurt others, especially girls.¡± Zhang Yansheng squatted there and looked into Zhang Shuocheng¡¯s eyes. He also has some baby fats, a bun face, and big eyes, which are jet black and bright. Zhang Yansheng¡¯s hand clasped the top of the little bun¡¯s head: ¡°If you don¡¯t hurt others, then I would not concern myself about you. However, if you dare to hurt others like this again¡­¡± His sister¡¯s hand slid down, stroked his cheek, and slid onto his thin neck. Zhang Shuocheng felt that his throat was choked, and the fear of poor breathing made his scalp numb. ¡°Then I won¡¯t let you go.¡± Zhang Yansheng gently squeezed the child¡¯s thin neck, ¡°Remember that I, your eldest sister, am not afraid of anything.¡± Her eyes seemed to want to kill. This is much more terrifying than spanking. Zhang Shuocheng¡¯s fear of Zhang Yansheng reached its climax at this moment. What Zhang Yansheng said was deeply engraved in his mind. But just now, when Zhang Yansheng squatted down and looked up at him, when she said that a boy liked her, there was still a smile at the corner of her mouth. This made Zhang Shuocheng¡¯s memory gradually confused later when he grew up. When he recalled the time when his eldest sister choked his throat in elementary school, he couldn¡¯t remember whether she was fierce or gentle at that time. But he remembered what she said ¡ª don¡¯t hurt others, especially girls. Zhang Huan went in and found that the girl¡¯s mother had arrived first and was comforting the crying little girl. Zhang Huan was very embarrassed. In the angry eyes of the girl¡¯s mother, he was taught a big deal by the teacher, and apologized as a guarantee. The teacher finally finished the counseling. Compared with Zhang Shuocheng¡¯s mother, he felt that Zhang Shuocheng¡¯s father was at least a person who understood the truth. She said, ¡°Wait a minute, I will ask Zhang Shuocheng to come in.¡± She opened the door and called Zhang Shuocheng. The sister who looked like a high school student was leaning her back against the wall and was looking at her cellphone. Zhang Shuocheng was a little bit younger, squatting at her feet, also leaning against the wall, as if a little dumbfounded. She called them in and the elder sister put away her cellphone and gave Zhang Shuocheng a soft kick. Zhang Shuocheng hurriedly stood up and walked towards the office. The elder sister paused briefly and followed in. ¡°Brat! Apologize to the child!¡± Zhang Huan was trained like a grandson by the teacher, so he was also angry. When he became angry, he slapped Zhang Shuocheng¡¯s head. Zhang Yansheng glanced at him coldly. Zhang Huan took his hand uncomfortably. The little girl was really beautiful, white and clean, with bright eyes. Half of her hair was loose and half was tied up ¡ª Zhang Shuocheng, this little boy, used scissors to cut one of her braids. When half of the hair was cut, people noticed that it turned into this weird look with half short and half long hair. Just now, her mother coaxed and comforted her to tie up her longer hair. The little girl¡¯s eyes were red, and she had obviously cried. Seeing Zhang Shuocheng come in, her mouth was deflated and her small face bulged. She was angry again, but tried hard not to cry again. Zhang Yansheng found that she had no resistance to this kind of beautiful and cute little girl. She regretted that she promised Zhang Shuocheng not to beat him up ¡ª seeing the aggrieved appearance of the little girl, she wanted to beat him up on the spot! Zhang Yansheng gave Zhang Shuocheng a push, Zhang Shuocheng raised his head and walked towards the little girl. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, I shouldn¡¯t have cut your hair. I know I was wrong. Can you forgive me?¡± He said in one breath. The little girl¡¯s mouth was deflated, and there were tears in her eyes again: ¡°Why do you want to cut my hair?¡± Zhang Shuocheng finally took a breath: ¡°I think you look good, so I want you to like me.¡± The little girl asked, ¡°Do you think I look good?¡± Zhang Shuocheng nodded: ¡°Hmm! You are the one with the best look in the class! Can you forgive me?¡± The little girl sniffed and said, ¡°Okay, I forgive you.¡± Zhang Shuocheng looked happy and asked, ¡°I like you, so can you like me too?¡± The little girl didn¡¯t answer immediately. Her good-looking brows frowned, and she looked at Zhang Shuocheng with some confusion, and she really considered whether she wanted to like Zhang Shuocheng. Zhang Shuocheng hurriedly promised: ¡°I will never bully you again. My sister taught me a lesson just now. She said that I can¡¯t bully girls. If someone bullies you in the future, I will protect you!¡± The girl asked, ¡°Really?¡± ¡°It¡¯s true! Pinky swear!¡± Zhang Shuocheng stretched out his little finger. The little girl seemed to be moved and she really hooked her little finger with him: ¡°If you don¡¯t bully me, then I¡¯ll like you.¡± Zhang Huan/Little girl¡¯s mother/Class teacher: ¡°¡­¡± This¡­ is not exactly what they had expected. The little girl¡¯s mother was very distressed for her daughter, and she was still very angry when Zhang Shuocheng came in, she was angered at these two little ones. However, she wanted to set a good example for her child again. She could only touch her daughter¡¯s head and said to Zhang Shuocheng in a deep tone: ¡°That¡¯s okay, you can¡¯t bully Coco anymore.¡± Zhang Shuocheng came back with all his ingenuity and strength, and he was resurrected with blood: ¡°I promise!¡± Otherwise, my sister might strangle me to death. The matter was finally settled with apologies from Zhang Huan and Zhang Shuocheng. They didn¡¯t leave immediately, so they asked Zhang Shuocheng to go back and attend the remaining half of his class, and then picked up Zhang Heling and went home together. Because it was four people, Zhang Huan opened the car door and wanted to sit in front of the co-pilot, but Zhang Yansheng flashed out and grabbed the seat, sat down calmly, and only looked forward. Zhang Huan: ¡°¡­¡± Okay. Zhang Huan had to sit in the back with the two younger ones, and taught Zhang Shuocheng all the way. The Tang monk recited the scriptures in general, and his teachings made Zhang Shuocheng feel drowsy. Zhang Yansheng was still angry when she got home ¡ª she was delayed in class. Mainly, making up notes is too annoying. She grabbed her schoolbag and went upstairs. After dropping her bag, she wanted to send a message to the group of classmates and ask for today¡¯s notes. She turned on her phone and saw a friend request notification. She clicked on it and found that it was from Zhang Zhiyuan. Elementary school classes usually end early and high school classes should not be over at this time. Why did Zhang Zhiyuan add her as a friend? Zhang Yansheng clicked to accept it. She threw down her cellphone and changed into her home clothes, and then picked up the cellphone again and found that Zhang Zhiyuan had sent her several messages. Clicking on them, he sent all the notes she wanted to ask for ¡ª Zhang Yansheng hadn¡¯t asked for it in the group yet. Zhang Zhiyuan: This¡­ can be said to be very proactive. Zhang Yansheng pursed her lips, feeling that the boy¡¯s heart had already been fully understood. It¡¯s certainly not because he likes her, but there¡¯s already a bit of affection. This is not good. It divides the mind and heart of the champion and drags down his academic performance, which is a serious sin. Zhang Yansheng simply replied with the words ¡°thank you¡±. Zhang Zhiyuan quickly replied with a smiling face with two blushes. Zhang Yansheng put the cellphone on the table and did not reply anymore. Making up notes and doing homework in the evening is another day for high school students. Compared with partying and drinking, this kind of life is simple or even monotonous, but it makes people feel calm. Before going to bed, she took a shower, dried her hair, sat cross-legged on the bed, picked up the cellphone, and clicked on the friend application page. Below Zhang Zhiyuan¡¯s notification, there is also another friend request notification a long time ago ¡ª Xu Lichen. She didn¡¯t know where he got her phone number and wanted to add friends with her. Zhang Yansheng just kept it there and ignored it. Thinking about it, Xu Lichen, Wang Qian, and her were actually children at that time. The difference is nothing more among an arrogant child, scheming child, and stupid child. After all, they are all children. Even Zhang Yansheng, who became 21 years old later, really matured. Zhang Yansheng stared at her cellphone for a moment, and then accepted Xu Lichen¡¯s friend request. The time is not too late yet. With her understanding of Xu Lichen, he must have not slept at this time. She thought that if she accepted his friend request, then he would definitely send her a message. But her cellphone didn¡¯t ring until she fell asleep. Xu Lichen turned on his cellphone to check some messages at night, but suddenly saw that Zhang Yansheng had accepted his friend request. He raised his eyebrows in surprise. He clicked on the dialogue interface of Zhang Yansheng, and what he can see is the automatic message of the system: I accepted your friend request and we can now start chatting. Xu Lichen stared at the message for a long time, turned off the screen, then threw the cellphone aside, and picked up a pen. If Zhang Yansheng could see it, she would be so surprised that she couldn¡¯t close her mouth. What is Xu Lichen doing is surprisingly¡­ a copy of Wang Houxiong.1 CH 67 Zhang Yansheng glanced at her cellphone during breakfast, and was a little surprised that Xu Lichen didn¡¯t even send her a message. It might be because they are not in the same class in this life and haven¡¯t had so much contact, so Xu Lichen doesn¡¯t like her as much as before, right? That doesn¡¯t matter, everyone has their own lives, even after graduating from the previous life, they will go their separate ways. So, she just needs to follow the fate. At school break, Zhang Yansheng met Zhang Zhiyuan face to face, she just nodded and stepped aside to make way. Zhang Zhiyuan stopped and asked: ¡°Did you make up all the notes yesterday?¡± Zhang Yansheng said, ¡°I did, thank you.¡± Zhang Zhiyuan smiled and said, ¡°If you don¡¯t understand anything, come and ask me.¡± That¡¯s not okay. Although she feels that this is a bit cold and ruthless, it is really ¡®for his own good¡¯. Zhang Yansheng dealt with it as coldly as possible: ¡°Hmm.¡± Zhang Zhiyuan didn¡¯t notice her coldness. Zhang Yansheng is usually very lofty and cold, and rarely speaks, towards both boys and girls. The girls are not afraid of her, they all love to be coquettish with her. The more helpless she was, the happier the girls were. The boys have some distance from her. But among them, Zhang Yansheng seemed to be a little different towards Zhang Zhiyuan. Zhang Yansheng often asks Zhang Zhiyuan questions and borrows his notes. But the two of them are separated by gender and several rows of realistic distance, and Zhang Zhiyuan¡¯s grades are not the best in the class ¡ª some students like to ask the students among the top 3 ranking. Of course, no one would know that Zhang Zhiyuan is the future champion of the college entrance examination, so looking at Zhang Yansheng¡¯s different view of Zhang Zhiyuan, everyone can¡¯t help but have some thoughts. These thoughts are not malicious, they are more about bustling with noise and excitement, after all, they are at this age. Zhang Yansheng¡¯s side was okay. The girl who had a good relationship with her asked directly, but she directly denied it. She has always spoken coldly and succinctly, so the girls won¡¯t chase after her so blankly. But on the boys¡¯ side, many boys often tease Zhang Zhiyuan, and occasionally everyone makes a joke together. Although Zhang Zhiyuan devoted most of his mind to studying, learning is not the whole of life after all. At this young age, Zhang Yansheng is such an attractive girl, and the young man¡¯s heart is like spring that has arrived. Zhang Zhiyuan hadn¡¯t noticed Zhang Yansheng¡¯s coldness at this time. It took him almost a week to slowly realize it. It took a few more days from brewing emotions, doing psychological construction, and making up his mind. In this way, half a month has passed, and Christmas is here. This foreign festival, which has become a shopping festival, a carnival, and a festival in China, has nothing to do with the students in public schools. Especially since Christmas Eve and Christmas Day are both working days this year, so it has nothing to do with them. The western-style teacher will also say ¡°Merry Christmas¡±. The conservative teacher would directly spout: ¡°Birthday of what holy? What does foreign religion have to do with us? There is only one saint in our country and his birthday is the 27th of August of the Lunar calendar!¡± However, on Christmas Day, the head teacher still sent everyone a lollipop that looked like a Christmas tree, and said with a smile: ¡°I¡¯ll let you have some sweets first, and tomorrow your favorite monthly exam will begin again.¡± D*mn, who likes the monthly exam! The students held lollipops and issued a unanimous protest. It took two days to complete the exam both for the major and minor subjects, and two more days later, the results were released. Immediately afterwards, after a long pause, Xu Lichen reappeared behind the subway station. ¡°I¡¯ll tell you two things.¡± He crossed his arms and said, ¡°First, Wang Qian has transferred to another school.¡± The news stunned Zhang Yansheng for several seconds, and subconsciously asked, ¡°Why did she transfer? When did she transfer? Why transfer?¡± In the previous life, both she and Xu Lichen were expelled from school, and Wang Qian stayed unharmed. Why is it all reversed in this life? She didn¡¯t do anything specifically against Wang Qian. Xu Lichen was also a little surprised. What he really wanted to say was not about Wang Qian, he just mentioned it casually and that¡¯s all, he didn¡¯t expect Zhang Yansheng to care so much about Wang Qian. He raised his eyebrows and said a little gleefully: ¡°She was squeezed out by the girls in our class, those girls who followed her to teach you a lesson before.¡± It¡¯s really a whirlwind, Wang Qian has always led people to squeeze out others, but she didn¡¯t expect that one day she herself would fall into this field. A small group joined forces to sell out Wang Qian for their own benefit. As soon as the punishment came out, Wang Qian understood. It was not because of friendship that the not-so-strong alliance formed in the beginning collapsed directly. After doing such a thing, those few are not broad-minded good people and believers, and they don¡¯t believe that Wang Qian will forgive them tolerantly. Now that this is the case, then Wang Qian can only be beaten to the opposite side. These people joined forces to isolate and squeeze Wang Qian out. Wang Qian is beautiful. If it¡¯s only the girls who squeezed her out, she wouldn¡¯t make it to the point of transferring to another school, but there is Xu Lichen on the boys¡¯ side. Xu Lichen has long established his status as a gangster in Class 8. He took the initiative to stretch out his feet to step on Wang Qian, and Wang Qian really couldn¡¯t stay in this class anymore. The Yi High School is divided into classes by grades, and there is no possibility for Wang Qian to transfer classes based on her grades. She finally complained to her family and asked them to transfer her to a different school. Her parents also came to the school to have a fight with the dean. They believed that their daughter was the victim of all the accusations, including the previous punishment, and other girls framed her to make her take the blame. It made the dean¡¯s blood pressure rise with anger. This happened on Christmas Day. Wang Qian left without taking the monthly exam. Zhang Yansheng did not expect such a reversal in this life. Everyone¡¯s life trajectory has shifted more or less. It seems that the direct cause of Wang Qian¡¯s incident was due to the exclusion of small groups, together with Xu Lichen¡¯s help. But if you look into it carefully, the root cause is the variable Zhang Yansheng. Because Zhang Yansheng had changed, this change was like an energy diverging outward with her as the center, affecting others lightly or severely. Xu Lichen couldn¡¯t tell Zhang Yansheng¡¯s attitude from her expression. She seemed a little startled by Wang Qian¡¯s matter. What for? Wang Qian is not who she thought she was. ¡°Hey!¡± He called her, and asked with a smile, ¡°Why? Are you reluctant to part with Wang Qian?¡± Zhang Yansheng returned to her senses, ignored his ridicule, and asked directly: ¡°You just said the first thing, what about the second?¡± She didn¡¯t even need to pay attention, but when she asked him, Xu Lichen¡¯s tail was about to rise. He smiled triumphantly, brought up a roll of paper in his hand, picked up Zhang Yansheng¡¯s hand, and put it in her hand: ¡°Look!¡± It was a photocopy of the transcript, with the ranking of the grades. It was a partial copy, mainly printing the column of Xu Lichen. Zhang Yansheng: ¡°Emmmmm¡­¡± Xu Lichen proudly said, ¡°Did you get it?¡± Zhang Yansheng raised her head: ¡°I said that I don¡¯t talk to people who are ranked in the bottom 100 of the grade, including the 100th place from the bottom.¡± ¡°I knew it, you wouldn¡¯t understand.¡± Xu Lichen became even more proud, ¡°Look at my ranking. If you count backwards, it will be number 101!¡± It turned out that after she added him as a friend but never sent her a message, was he holding his breath because of this? Not to mention, this is really Xu Lichen¡¯s character. The two of them actually have a lot of similarities. They are not stupid, but they both like to bite the bullet, plus the second is¡­ Zhang Yansheng was expressionless: ¡°You miscalculated.¡± Xu Lichen was taken aback for a moment: ¡°What? Impossible!¡± ¡°When you count it, you count the previous total number of students.¡± Zhang Yansheng was even more expressionless, ¡°But Wang Qian transferred and left on Christmas Day. She didn¡¯t take the monthly exam at all, so you forgot to subtract her. So, you are the penultimate of the whole year¡­ 100th place from the bottom.¡± As Zhang Yansheng said it, she patted the piece of paper on Xu Lichen¡¯s chest: ¡°Make persistent efforts.¡± She waved her hand and left. Xu Lichen clutched the piece of paper, his whole body sluggish. He unfolded the copy paper and calculated it again¡­ was it right? If one person is subtracted, he just happens to go from rank 101 from the bottom to rank 100 from the bottom. ¡°¡­¡± Xu Lichen crumpled the copy paper into a ball. It¡¯s really upsetting! The car stopped at a traffic light intersection about 100 meters away from the subway station. Xiao Zhou glanced in the rearview mirror several times, and finally couldn¡¯t help asking, ¡°Miss Yanyan, why are you so happy today?¡± He could see that Zhang Yansheng had been smiling since she got into the car. Zhang Yansheng endured it several times, trying to hold it back, but failed. She finally covered her forehead and trembled with a smile: ¡°It¡¯s nothing, there is just a stupid guy¡­¡± She bit her lip with a smile and didn¡¯t say anything more. Xiao Zhou thought to himself, it seems that since he was hired to Zhang¡¯s house, he has never seen her smile like this, right? However, Zhang Zhiyuan finally made up his mind the next day. When school was over, he stopped Zhang Yansheng. Zhang Yansheng was a little surprised. Since she began to pay attention to keeping her distance from Zhang Zhiyuan, she hadn¡¯t spoken with him for quite a few days. ¡°Is there something wrong?¡± she asked. Zhang Zhiyuan pursed his lips nervously and said, ¡°Well¡­ why haven¡¯t you come to me for questions recently?¡± Zhang Yansheng thought to herself, did she do it too deliberately? Did the others notice it as well? ¡°Recently, I have been asking Gao Xiaoxiao, she just sits in front of me.¡± Zhang Yansheng said, ¡°You are so far away from me.¡± Zhang Zhiyuan knew clearly that this was a lie. Because Gao Xiaoxiao has always been sitting in front of Zhang Yansheng, but she has always come to him to talk about topics before. So why did Zhang Yansheng lie about this matter? The teenager was no longer nervous, lowered his eyes and thought for a few seconds, and said, ¡°Did you hear our classmates making some jokes?¡± Zhang Yansheng asked strangely: ¡°What kind of joke.¡± Zhang Zhiyuan said, ¡°The joke about me and you.¡± Zhang Yansheng understood, it was what the boys said when they were bored. They actually didn¡¯t dare to joke in front of Zhang Yansheng, but she would inevitably hear some of the boys laughing and joking. She shrugged: ¡°Everyone is just teasing, there is no malice, I don¡¯t care about that.¡± She thought for a while and said, ¡°If you don¡¯t like it, I¡¯ll talk to them.¡± If she doesn¡¯t care about those jokes, then why? Zhang Zhiyuan finally asked, ¡°Then why are you¡­¡± For this age, it is still a bit uncomfortable to ask such straightforward questions. Zhang Zhiyuan licked his lower lip nervously, paused for a while, and then finished speaking: ¡°¡­avoiding me? Is there something wrong with me that makes you unhappy?¡± The young man¡¯s eyes were clear and clean, there was no scheming, no hostility, and they were as clear as spring water. Being stared by this kind of gaze seems to be so purifying. At this moment, Zhang Yansheng felt envy. A person, who is 15 years old, should live like this. CH 68 In the pure and faintly sentimental gaze of the teenager, Zhang Yansheng felt that the hostility in her heart seemed to have been neutralized a lot. It¡¯s cold in winter. After standing for a while, Zhang Zhiyuan¡¯s nose was already frozen and began to turn red, and there was a faint white smoke between his breaths, which made his eyebrows look hazy and clean. Zhang Yansheng had a soft feeling in her heart. Zhang Heling sometimes makes her feel this way. It seems that she and Zhang Zhiyuan have something in common. But Zhang Heling is still too young, so she is not as clear as Zhang Zhiyuan makes people feel. Zhang Yansheng smiled. ¡°Don¡¯t think too much about it.¡± She said softly, ¡°Actually, I¡¯m just afraid of affecting you.¡± Zhang Zhiyuan blinked. Zhang Yansheng¡¯s eyebrows were exceptionally soft at this moment, which was very different from her usual loneliness. He couldn¡¯t help holding his breath slightly and listening to her carefully. Zhang Yansheng frowned and told him, ¡°I have been paying attention to your grades. From the beginning of school to the present, your ranking has been moving forward, and you have never fallen.¡± She is often cold, and she smiles on this cold winter day, but she is indescribably bright. The smile in his eyes was gentle, and she confessed that he had been paying attention to him, which made Zhang Zhiyuan feel that his heart stopped for a short time, followed by an accelerated pounding. ¡°Zhang Zhiyuan, I predict that you will go to the top class next semester.¡± Zhang Yansheng said, ¡°I later felt that I disturbed you too often. Although everyone said that when helping others, you can get a review yourself, but there¡¯s a gap between my level and yours, which is a waste of time for you. I have been wandering on basic questions, and your time should be used to overcome those high-precision problems.¡± Zhang Zhiyuan opened his mouth: ¡°No, I¡­¡± But Zhang Yansheng interrupted him. She stared at him and told him: ¡°Zhang Zhiyuan, I want to see you enter the top class as soon as possible. There are only more than 900 days before the college entrance examination, so don¡¯t waste time in Class 2!¡± Zhang Zhiyuan was startled, because Zhang Yansheng¡¯s eyes were shining with expectation. What she said was not empty words to coax him, she was talking about expectations that actually fell on the ground. Zhang Yansheng pays attention to him, cares about him, and has such great expectations for him. Zhang Zhiyuan smiled, showing his white teeth. ¡°I think Class 2 is particularly good.¡± She said, ¡°But I will cheer you up.¡± ¡°It is necessary.¡± Zhang Yansheng said, ¡°Since Q University is your goal.¡± Zhang Zhiyuan was slightly surprised: ¡°How do you know?¡± Zhang Yansheng pursed his lips and smiled: ¡°You are so good in mathematics, physics and chemistry, where else can you go except to Q University?¡± ¡°Then, I¡¯ll borrow your good words!¡± Zhang Zhiyuan said with a smile, ¡°But you don¡¯t have to avoid me, you really don¡¯t need to. The so-called high-difficulty problems are all accumulation and deformation of basic questions. In the end, you must have a solid foundation, and discussing these questions with you does not delay me.¡± ¡°Okay. If there are questions that Gao Xiaoxiao and I don¡¯t understand, then I will ask you about them.¡± Zhang Yansheng said, ¡°And I have been considering hiring a tutor recently.¡± ¡°Tutor¡­ if economic conditions permit, it is best to hire a teacher instead of a part-time college student.¡± Zhang Zhiyuan has obviously studied this, ¡°The college entrance examination changes every year. College students can¡¯t keep up. After all, we are in a test-oriented education and the key is still taking exams. Those remedial institutions also vary greatly. You can consider looking for them in our school, there are many special-grade teachers in our school, but you have to find them quietly. Now that the Ministry of Education is investigating this kind of thing, the teachers are very low-key.¡± The topic just changed naturally. With a white breath and a smile in their eyes, the two of them easily discussed the tutoring class and make- up lessons at home. When they waved goodbye at the school gate, both of them had bright eyebrows and smiles on their faces. There is only brightness, no ambiguity. But for this to fall into Xu Lichen¡¯s eyes still made him jealous. The next day is January 1st, New Year¡¯s Day, and the school is closed. If you don¡¯t take a break, then just let it go for at least one day, although it doesn¡¯t feel as good as a weekend. You have to go to school again before you can lie down comfortably. The two little ones went to school with bad faces in the morning. When Zhang Zhiyuan entered the classroom, everyone was taken aback. The corners of his eyes were bruised and he put a large dressing on his cheeks. There are also bruises and swelling in places that did not have dressing, and some of these are obviously because of broken skin. A bandage was wrapped around his hand between the thumb and forefinger. The classmates were doing a surprise review before the morning test, and they stopped writing one after another, and asked in surprise, ¡°What happened?¡± Zhang Zhiyuan also had broken skin on his lips, and the corners of his mouth were also blue. He smiled helplessly: ¡°I was just careless¡­¡± Then he refused to say more. The bell for early self-study rang, and everyone returned to their seats. But Zhang Yansheng still frowned and glanced at him before turning her head. From her perspective, those scars¡­ seemed to be caused after getting beaten. After the morning test, the interval between the second class and the end of the first class is very short, only five minutes. After class, the boys rushed over and surrounded Zhang Zhiyuan to ask questions. Soon Zhang Yansheng heard the second-hand information that Gao Xiaoxiao transferred to her: ¡°He said that he had a conflict with someone on the way home, so they fought. Really, boys are so aggressive in their bones. He usually looks very gentle.¡± As she said this, she was also speechless. Sure enough, he was beaten. Although it is scary to look at the bruises, if you look at it from a professional point of view, it is all skin traumas, no muscles and bones were hurt. Zhang Yansheng is a member of the mixed boxing gym and has seen injuries that are much more serious than this. Moreover, in the previous life, she and Xu Lichen fooled around. That guy had excess hormones and energy, and fighting was just a commonplace. Zhang Yansheng was therefore very calm about boys fighting. Gao Xiaoxiao, who was sitting in front of her, said with a smile: ¡°You are so calm.¡± Because it was Zhang Zhiyuan who was injured, this remark was obviously meant to tease her. Zhang Yansheng twisted the fat on her cheeks unceremoniously. The pain made her scream ¡°Ouch ouch¡±. When she went to fetch water after class, she ran into Zhang Zhiyuan at the water tank. Zhang Yansheng asked with concern: ¡°Are you okay?¡± Zhang Zhiyuan said, ¡°I¡¯m okay.¡± He still wanted to smile at her, but the wound at the corner of his mouth was affected, and the pain was so painful that he let out a ¡°hiss¡±. Zhang Yansheng hurriedly raised her hand to stop him: ¡°Don¡¯t smile, just bear it.¡± She asked again, ¡°What happened later? Did you call the police?¡± After being a classmate for almost a semester, she subjectively decided that it was definitely not the champion who caused trouble first, and he must have met a gangster. In this case, he should call the police. Zhang Zhiyuan said, ¡°No, it¡¯s not worth calling the police.¡± Zhang Yansheng felt that his personality was a bit too gentle. But after all, not everyone has the character of fighting back like her and Xu Lichen. She shrugged and said, ¡°If you apply cold compress more, you will get better faster.¡± Zhang Yansheng thought this was the case, and he never thought that Zhang Zhiyuan¡¯s beating would be related to her. But on Saturday, Gao Xiaoxiao suddenly sent her a message and said, ¡°Did you know that Zhang Zhiyuan seems to have been beaten by Xu Lichen from Class 8¡­¡± Zhang Yansheng was startled at the time and immediately called her. ¡°Oh, why didn¡¯t you use VX voice for making a call? This will add cost to your phone bill, such a tyrant.¡± Gao Xiaoxiao shouted. Zhang Yansheng asked in a deep voice, ¡°What happened to Zhang Zhiyuan? How did you know?¡± ¡°It¡¯s from our classmate Qi Guanyu, guess who he is? You¡¯ll never guess that our dean is his uncle! Dear uncle! It¡¯s been a semester and we haven¡¯t heard him mention it, he has hidden this key information! He¡¯s so sophisticated!¡± Gao Xiaoxiao repeatedly admired and explained the source to Zhang Yansheng, ¡°Qi Guanyu told Huang Heng, Huang Heng told Li Shuqing, Li Shuqing posted it in their own group chat, Ye Meng saw it and told Liu Keren. Didn¡¯t I tell you that Liu Keren and Wang Siyu learn piano together at XXX? We have a small group¡­¡± Zhang Yansheng pinched the center of her eyebrows: ¡°Just get to the point!¡± ¡°Cough, the point is, my news is very reliable!¡± Gao Xiaoxiao said, ¡°This is what happened¡­¡± After Gao Xiaoxiao¡¯s explanation, Zhang Yansheng figured out what was going on. It wasn¡¯t that he had a conflict with some punk on the road. He was blocked halfway by Xu Lichen on the way home and beat him up. ¡°Zhang Zhiyuan told his family that he had a conflict with a punk on the road, and then he refused to call the police. But his mother didn¡¯t believe him and secretly went to the police herself later. The police station had set up the road monitoring system, and at first glance, it was shown on the video that the other party was also a student. It was shown that at that point in time, it was just after school, and he was chased from behind by a student from our school.¡± ¡°Zhang Zhiyuan¡¯s mother went to the school with the surveillance video. When the dean watched it, he immediately recognized Xu Lichen.¡± ¡°They called Zhang Zhiyuan and Xu Lichen over and asked them why they were fighting. Then guess what, the two people said in unison that they didn¡¯t like each other, and they clashed in language, and then they started fighting. Hey, hey, think of it, think carefully¡­¡± ¡°What do I have to think of?! ¡°Zhang Yansheng said angrily, ¡°Tell me, what did the school do about it?¡± ¡°Well, this is really troublesome.¡± Gao Xiaoxiao said, ¡°According to Qi Guanyu¡¯s news, because they both insist so much, the responsibility was split in half. Wait for Monday, maybe two people will be punished one by one¡­¡± Zhang Yansheng was silent. Gao Xiaoxiao said casually: ¡°In fact, everyone knows that it must have been Xu Lichen in Class 8 who started it first. We discussed it just now. He might really be up to no good. Hey, hey, he kind of looks good when angry. Although I know it¡¯s wrong, he¡¯s really a bit handsome. Let me tell you the truth, in fact, many of the girls from our class have a crush on him¡­¡± This kind of bad boy look often has some special attraction to these good girls who follow the rules. ¡°He is not suitable for you.¡± Zhang Yansheng said bluntly. Gao Xiaoxiao was discouraged: ¡°Of course, it was just a thought. Hey, you know he is so handsome, so why doesn¡¯t he study hard? If he is willing to study hard, the girls in our class will have to choose him as our current school prince.¡± After hanging up with Gao Xiaoxiao, Zhang Yansheng only felt an evil fire rushing up. Just before New Year¡¯s Day, she was secretly happy that she was willing to study hard in order to fight for a breath. Now, she only felt the hostility in her chest that had melted because of Zhang Zhiyuan, and it sprang up because of Xu Lichen. Zhang Yansheng took a deep breath, turned on her cellphone, and wanted to call Xu Lichen. Only to find that in this life, she did not have Xu Lichen¡¯s phone number on it. In her previous life, Xu Lichen¡¯s phone number was the shortcut key ¡®1¡¯. She just needs to open the dial-up interface, press and hold ¡®1¡¯, and she can directly dial Xu Lichen¡¯s phone. But she remembered that she had added Xu Lichen to her friends list, although he stubbornly never sent her a message. Zhang Yansheng initiated an audio call, and it took a long time for it to connect with Xu Lichen: ¡°Zhang Yansheng?¡± The sound on his background was noisy and the music was loud. Obviously, he was playing in some entertainment place. Zhang Yansheng asked, ¡°Where are you?¡± The sound of music was a little lower, and it sounded like coming from the private room to the corridor. Xu Lichen said, ¡°I¡¯m outside, do you need something from me?¡± Zhang Yansheng asked, ¡°Where is it?¡± Xu Lichen paused and replied, ¡°Baochi, in Liudao South Road¡­¡± Zhang Yansheng does not need an address. She knew where Baochi was. Before the Jinding Club where she died became popular, Baochi was the hottest entertainment club in K City. She used to go there often in her previous life. She interrupted Xu Lichen and asked, ¡°Room 806?¡± There was a second of silence on the phone, and Xu Lichen¡¯s somewhat incredible voice came: ¡°How do you know?¡± Of course, Zhang Yansheng knew. Because Baochi was opened by a relative of Xu Lichen, and their family has shares in it. Room 806 is a private room reserved for him. They used to go there to play. Xu Lichen also gave her his black membership card before going abroad, so that she could use his private room at any time. But everyone else was gone, and Zhang Yansheng never went there again, after he went abroad to sleep with foreign girls. Zhang Yansheng did not disturb her family, nor did she call their driver. She called a car from outside by herself. When she calls a car, she usually asks for a luxury car, a Mercedes-Benz or a BMW. Automobile companies have strict requirements for drivers, and they cannot casually strike up a conversation with customers because of their desire to chat, disturbing the tranquility of customers. But Zhang Yansheng looked like a student at first glance. The driver looked in the rearview mirror several times, and finally couldn¡¯t help his curiosity and asked: ¡°Miss, what is that you¡¯re wrapping in your hands?¡± Zhang Yansheng focused on putting the strap around her fingers and told the driver: ¡°Hand wrap.¡± The driver asked, ¡°What is that for?¡± Zhang Yansheng said: ¡°It¡¯s used to protect the hard bones and cartilage of the hands from fractures, protect the skin from abrasion, and protect the wrists from sprains.¡± ¡°But that¡­ we don¡¯t usually suffer that kind of injury in our daily life, right?¡± the driver asked puzzledly. ¡°Normally, you won¡¯t.¡± In the car, the girl with a cold white face raised her eyes, ¡°But when you hit someone, you will.¡± ¡°The experts also call this thing a battle bandage.¡± CH 69 Enchantress12-16 minutes 09.02.2022 Baochi, Private Room No. 806, the music was so loud. Ever since Xu Lichen answered the phone in the corridor, he had been absent-minded, always raising his eyes to look at the door of the room from time to time. His friend leaned over, puffing fumes of alcohol, and hit him with his elbow: ¡°What¡¯s the matter? What are you thinking? It looked like you¡¯ve lost your soul.¡± Xu Lichen held a cigarette in his hand and breathed out some white air. The old god said solemnly: ¡°I might be beaten¡­¡± The music was too noisy, his voice was low, and his friend didn¡¯t hear him clearly: ¡°Huh? What did you say?¡± Xu Lichen smiled and said nothing. The party here is a kind of environment he is familiar with. His family has a share at this club, and he has taken his classmates to play here since he was in middle school. His father is very lenient with him, as long as he doesn¡¯t do anything illegal. For other things such as hanging around at school and having girlfriends, his father never cares about them at all. He has a good father. But today he answered Zhang Yansheng¡¯s call, it was the first time that the girl who didn¡¯t even look at him took the initiative to contact him, which was a f*cking ¡®surprise¡¯ to him. Although Zhang Yansheng said nothing, Xu Lichen had already guessed in his heart what she was going to do. This made him so jealous that he wanted to grind his teeth. From a young age, he can get whatever he wants. Those girls who are shy and reserved are just trying to put on airs. He can coax them with his face alone, not to mention he still has money. Only Zhang Yansheng is so difficult to get. She really doesn¡¯t f*cking look up to him! Xu Lichen couldn¡¯t be convinced no matter what he thought. He glanced at the door again, lowered his head, and took a sip on his drink. A friend pushed a school girl from an art school next to him. In the winter, in the hot private room, the school flower wore a low-cut camisole, which was covered with sequins and glittered with bling blings. Rubbing against him, she complained coquettishly that her cellphone was too old, and she really liked the latest model of Fruit. Xu Lichen retracted his gaze from the door, pushed the school flower back into his friend¡¯s arms, pointed at him with a cigarette and said, ¡°Let him buy it for you.¡± His friend smiled and hugged the school flower. But how could his friend¡¯s face be compared to Xu Lichen¡¯s handsome face which is sharp and clearcut, the school girl was very reluctant, her eyes were unwilling. Xu Lichen picked up the wine glass again, and when he was about to take a sip, the door of the private room was kicked open with a ¡°bang¡±. Although the music was loud, the movement was so loud that everyone in the room looked over in surprise. The girl who came in had her black coat wide open, revealing her slim figure. The waist is very thin and the legs are very long. Unlike the colorful hair in the room, her hair has not been dyed, and a black ponytail is tied on her hair behind her head. Her eyes were also dark and shady, and her gaze was sharp. Unlike the girls in the private room, who all wore contact lenses, their eyes seemed to be out of focus. She has a snow-white face, and at first glance, she has no makeup, completely makeup-free. In this kind of dimly lit private room with disco ball lights flashing and tumbling, it looks paler and lighter than in normal light, but it is still so beautiful that it surpasses the art school flower. But she was so imposing that she stood there and glanced around, and the people in the private room were so shocked that no one spoke. There are many new faces, but there are also a few familiar faces. In the previous life, Zhang Yansheng and Xu Lichen hung out together, and she knew some people in this private room, and even knew them very well. The private room was full of smoke, and those heavy makeup and hair of various colors looked like a flurry of demons. Zhang Yansheng had to search for Xu Lichen among this pile of people. Before others could react, Xu Lichen sighed and stood up on his own. After taking a few steps and pushing away the person who was blocking him, he walked towards her: ¡°Zhang Yan¡­¡± In the sound of loud music, a punch hit Xu Lichen¡¯s beautiful face with a wild rhythm. Everyone stared dumbfounded at the flickering light, which looked like an action movie. Someone danced on the table before and adjusted the lights to a flashing pattern. So, in the sound of the music, the punches and kicks just come and go, flashing like a stop-motion animation. At this second, Xu Lichen diagonally withdrew and dodged an uppercut! In the next second, the girl¡¯s slender and powerful leg kicked Xu Lichen in the chest! In the next second, Xu Lichen fell down on the coffee table, the fruit tray overturned, and the wine bottle fell to the ground! Then, in an instant, the girl seemed to be in mid-air. The light cut off the coherence of the movements, and the next moment it lit up, she had already knelt on one knee and pressed Xu Lichen¡¯s chest, and she choked his neck with one hand! Xu Lichen clutched her wrists with both hands! These two people who made others feel inferior and stalemate looked at each other in such a posture for a few seconds. Finally, someone in the private room woke up from a dream and turned off the music! From the loud sound, it suddenly changed to the quiet air. The sound of music coming from the corridor seemed to come from the other side far away. In the flickering lights, they all felt that everything was so unreal. Zhang Yansheng said, ¡°Tell them to get lost.¡± Xu Lichen panted, holding Zhang Yansheng¡¯s wrist tightly, and shouted, ¡°All of you, go out!¡± Some people have already stepped forward, some are still hesitant, some are still confused, and some open their mouths: ¡°Xu¡­¡± ¡°It¡¯s none of your business!¡± Xu Lichen shouted, ¡°Get lost!¡± He has always been the boss, both financially and militarily. When he said this, the boys pushed the frightened girls, and even pushed and shoved the others, and they all went out together. Others closed the door with interest The girls were dazed with their coats and bags, while the boys looked at each other outside the door. ¡°Do you want to call Brother Chang?¡± Someone asked suspiciously. Brother Chang is the head of security at Baochi, and the Xu family is a shareholder of Baochi. This is a small base for Xu Lichen to play. His friends and dogs are also familiar with Baochi¡¯s security guards. The recruits are all veterans, all of whom are tough and can survive in the wild. In normal times, if they have a conflict with others, they will not hesitate to call Brother Chang. But today¡­¡­ There was such a beautiful girl who hit the door¡­ Everyone¡¯s expressions became very subtle. Someone suddenly asked, ¡°Lichen let her just now, right?¡± The air was strangely quiet for a second. Followed by everyone babbling: ¡°That¡¯s for sure!¡± ¡°Do you still need to say that?¡± ¡°Lichen can¡¯t beat a woman!¡± ¡°This is nonsense! She is so beautiful, I would even let her go, I would rather be beaten! This is being a real man!¡± After saying that, everyone suddenly felt relieved. ¡°Then it¡¯s okay, it¡¯s okay.¡± They all relaxed and began to smile mischievously, ¡°Lichen is now in a two-person world!¡± ¡°Hurry up and disperse, disperse!¡± ¡°Don¡¯t fucking be a light bulb with this, are you looking for Lichen to beat you up?¡± ¡°It¡¯s still early, don¡¯t leave, let¡¯s go and continue to another place.¡± ¡­¡­ In the private room, although the music was turned off, the lights still flashed on and off. Xu Lichen held Zhang Yansheng¡¯s wrist and couldn¡¯t break from it at all. He really never dreamed of it, he¡­ could not beat Zhang Yansheng! When Zhang Yansheng taught Wang Qian¡¯s small group, Xu Lichen vaguely knew that Zhang Yansheng might have been trained, but he didn¡¯t take it seriously. There are also some decent girls in the fighting club where he trains in boxing, pursuing a tight and fit figure. If they want to really fight, they can¡¯t do it. The innate power gap is still there. He guessed that Zhang Yansheng must have heard about Zhang Zhiyuan and came to avenge him today. Otherwise, with his 100th place from the bottom rank in the whole year, she would not pay attention to him. Although his teeth were tickled with jealousy, what he thought in his heart was to calm Zhang Yansheng. He thought it was already a big deal to hit him a few times without fighting back. It was only Zhang Yansheng¡¯s first punch that woke him up. When the second punch came, Xu Lichen had already entered a state, and he no longer used his brain to think. It was completely the muscle memory of many years of training, and he instinctively counterattacked. But in the end, he was still kicked and laid on the coffee table, just like now ¡ª Zhang Yansheng pressed one of her knees on his chest and strangled his throat. He struggled and found that he couldn¡¯t turn her over or get up. His three views were simply broken! The soundproof door was closed and the room became quiet. Xu Lichen held Zhang Yansheng¡¯s wrist: ¡°They were all gone, can you let go now?¡± Zhang Yansheng didn¡¯t let go, but added a bit of force! ¡°Are you out of your mind?¡± She said angrily, ¡°Why did you hit Zhang Zhiyuan in our class! Are you f*cking sick? Just because someone provoked you!¡± Xu Lichen almost couldn¡¯t breathe. He even wondered if Zhang Yansheng wanted to strangle him, just for that weak chicken boy. He was also furious: ¡°What the hell is wrong with me! Who is he? How can he be better than me? He doesn¡¯t even look as good as me! You don¡¯t like me, but why do you like him?¡± Zhang Yansheng was so angry that she wanted to kill someone: ¡°How can I like him?¡± ¡°You¡­¡± Xu Lichen wanted to say that he saw it all. The two of them talked and laughed in front of the school. At that time, Zhang Yansheng¡¯s eyes were full of brisk smiles. After a semester, he had never seen Zhang Yansheng smile at people like that. She never laughed like that even to the girls in her class! Not to mention that her gaze at the boy was as gentle as water! She said she didn¡¯t like him? But if Zhang Yansheng doesn¡¯t think she likes that boy, Xu Lichen doesn¡¯t want to wake her up and let her realize it. He would not do that unless he is an idiot. He uttered the word ¡°you¡±, and then held back all the rest of his words. ¡°Stupid! You are so stupid!¡± Zhang Yansheng gritted her teeth and cursed, ¡°Do you really think that I because I don¡¯t like you, then I can¡¯t like others? And if I don¡¯t like you, then you¡¯ll just keep on hanging on, right? You think that fierce women are afraid of harassment, right?¡± ¡°Do you f*cking think you are Tianliang Wangpo or Long Aotian?¡±1Á¹ÍõÆÆ Tianliang Wangpo and Áú°ÁÌì Long Aotian ¨C both are internet buzzwords or names used as reference of a certain character. ¡°Idiot! I know all your tricks very well! Use it less on me! They won¡¯t work!¡± ¡°I already said it a long time ago, what can you do to make me like you? Look at this! You can¡¯t even beat me in a f*cking fight!¡± Zhang Yansheng gritted her teeth: ¡°On Monday, you go and find the dean to surrender for me! You have to take this matter to yourself! Just punish yourself and let Zhang Zhiyuan out of it!¡± Xu Lichen also felt anger rise in his chest: ¡°He can¡¯t be punished, so it doesn¡¯t matter if I carry all the punishment, right?¡± Zhang Yansheng snorted and asked: ¡°Do you even care? Weren¡¯t you very happy last time? You should have been punished this time too! You can¡¯t run away! But don¡¯t fucking drag Zhang Zhiyuan down! He is different from you! He cannot be punished!¡± The punishment will be recorded in the file. Zhang Zhiyuan is a person who wants to go to Q University. That is one of the Top 2 universities, how many people in the country want to squeeze inside. Q University is not short of Zhang Zhiyuan, and when the time comes to check on his student file, a punishment record on it will make him miss Q University! Zhang Yansheng would never allow such a thing to happen, let alone because of her and Xu Lichen! Xu Lichen looked up at Zhang Yansheng¡¯s face. Her voice was coherent, but her face was interrupted by the flashing lights, and her intense emotions were frozen frame by frame. Each cell is like a prickly rose in full bloom, making people bleed but reluctant to let go. He thought her iceberg¡¯s indifferent face was glamorous enough, and he thought her gentle smile was bright enough. But her fierce anger looks even better than that. It makes people¡¯s blood boil. The tip of his tongue licked the bleeding wound at the corner of his mouth, and Xu Lichen smiled arrogantly: ¡°Zhang Yansheng, you wish!¡± CH 70 Zhang Yansheng¡¯s anger reached its peak. This anger was expressed by her chill gaze, which only caused Xu Lichen to smile more happily: ¡°I won¡¯t do it!¡± ¡°If you have the guts, strangle me.¡± He said, ¡°Come on! Kill me for your love, you are awesome!¡± But of course, it was impossible for Zhang Yansheng to kill him. Even Zhang Yansheng understood in her heart that half of her raging anger was because of Zhang Zhiyuan¡¯s incident, and the other half¡­ was because of Xu Lichen himself. At the beginning of her rebirth, Zhang Yansheng regarded Xu Lichen as a person who was from ¡®three years ago¡¯. They were separated after graduation, each had their own lives and circles, and by the time she died, they never had any contact. Zhang Yansheng originally intended to treat Wang Qian and Xu Lichen as if they never crossed each other, and made two parallel lines. But in the same school, in the same corridor, in the same cafeteria, and on the same playground, Xu Lichen¡¯s hot gaze is still the same as in her previous life. Every day, they would run into each other, pass by, and glance back obliquely. Those memories became clearer day by day. Zhang Yansheng couldn¡¯t deny that in her most vulnerable, most sensitive, and hysterical girlhood, when she often collapsed, Xu Lichen¡­ has always been by her side. He shook her hand, put his arm around her shoulders, stroked her hair, said the most arrogant and nasty words, and once lent her his shoulders to lean on. It was only because Wang Qian was sandwiched in the middle that they failed to become lovers in the end. He was the one she set up as her speed dial key ¡®1¡¯. His shortcut key ¡®1¡¯ is also set for her. This is a little secret that Wang Qian doesn¡¯t know. They also have many similar little secrets and tacit understanding. At that age, for Zhang Yansheng, who seemed to treat the whole world an enemy, Xu Lichen was almost the most important person in her life, and the only person she could trust with all her heart. The later time and space erased these tacit understanding and trust. But now, the more time passes, the more Zhang Yansheng knows that it is impossible for her to cut off her ties with Xu Lichen in the same way that she had cut off the connection with Wang Qian. She looked at him angrily and found it interesting. She was happy to see his progress in learning. She saw that he was suffering from being young and second-grader, and she couldn¡¯t wait to beat him up on the spot like Zhang Shuocheng. This fool couldn¡¯t understand her mood at all. He has not experienced death and rebirth like she did. After all, he is still a stupid teenager who is only 15 or 16 years old. He hasn¡¯t grown up yet. Zhang Yansheng stared at Xu Lichen¡¯s arrogant smiling face and made a fierce expression. People have to grow up, sooner or later. Either it is up to others to push him to grow up, or it is up to her. She loosened his throat and smiled coldly. Xu Lichen stared at her with fascination. He didn¡¯t know why Zhang Yansheng showed such an indescribable expression. Her eyes seemed to be fierce and sad. But she looked at him intently. From the moment he was surprised by her in the school hallway, her eyes never seemed to look at him seriously. The way she looked at him like this now, she was cold, fierce, and cruel. D*mn it! Beauty is deadly! Zhang Yansheng suddenly grabbed his shirt, crossed it over her knee that¡¯s pressing against his chest, and leaned down towards him. At that moment, Xu Lichen thought Zhang Yansheng was going to kiss him! The fireworks exploded in his mind, and the blood rushed down like a waterfall, and there was a direct physiological response! But the expected soft lips did not kiss his lips, Zhang Yansheng¡¯s lips were pressed to his ear. Her voice seemed to be charming, and the heat of her breathing pierced his ears and eyes. The electric current pierced and scurried around his body. What is she saying? ¡°You are so crazy, but don¡¯t you just rely on your family? You think you own the whole world, and the earth revolves around you, right? Xu Lichen, let me tell you one thing¡­¡± Zhang Yansheng gently tore Xu Lichen¡¯s world apart. ¡°You are not an only child.¡± This sentence entered Xu Lichen¡¯s brain, which was both ischemic and hypoxic. After lingering for a long time, it was finally accepted by the cerebral cortex, finally digested and absorbed, and understood its meaning. Xu Lichen woke up from his hormones and lost his voice for several seconds before saying, ¡°What are you talking about?¡± He couldn¡¯t believe it and thought it was a joke. Zhang Yansheng was just teasing him. Zhang Yansheng supported the tabletop with one hand, grabbed his shirt with the other, raised her face and looked at him. Her face is very beautiful, but fierce and cruel. ¡°Do you feel that you are living a particularly happy life? Both your parents are an entrepreneurial couple, successful and affectionate, aren¡¯t they? It¡¯s fake.¡± ¡°You have a half-brother who is the same age as us and only a few months younger than you.¡± ¡°Your mother found out about it a long time ago. It¡¯s only a matter of time before your dad and your mom tear their faces. The two of them must not be able to get by.¡± The breakdown of Xu Lichen¡¯s world was actually something that should have happened only next semester. Xu Lichen¡¯s father finally discovered that his mother was transferring assets, and the two finally stopped pretending to be in love and officially broke their faces. A tearing battle over divorce and contention kicked off. It¡¯s hard to describe all kinds of dog blood in this one by one. The once perfect and loving couple turned their faces, did not start with the most ruthless method, only the more ruthless one. The most ferocious time was when his father went to negotiate at the invitation of his mother. His mother ambushed them and planned to tie up her husband and send him to a mental hospital for compulsory treatment ¡ª she had opened up all the critical points and arranged everything, including fake cases, and he was almost sent in. She just wanted to send him in with a dozen sedatives and a few bottles of medicine. If he is not mentally ill, then he¡¯ll be mentally ill in no time. Without the capacity for civil conduct, the guardian has the final say. Fortunately, Xu Lichen¡¯s father specially brought a few bodyguards. The bodyguards were all retired special forces, and they were outnumbered, but they tried their best to protect their boss from the opponent¡¯s hands and escaped. The driver also fought and knocked over a person. This incident caused a sensation in the business community of K City back then. Neither of them went back to live in the current house later, and both felt unsafe. Xu Lichen is the only one living in that big house. He often takes them there to party all night long. ¡°That¡¯s a f*cking b*llsh*t!¡± Xu Lichen stared at Zhang Yansheng with extremely wide-eyed eyes. ¡°You are talking f*cking nonsense!¡± Xu Lichen¡¯s eyes were incomparably wide, staring at Zhang Yansheng fiercely. Zhang Yansheng sneered: ¡°Do you think your dad treats you very well? If you fail the exam, your mother will scold you, but your father never cares. He¡¯s so good to you, right?¡± ¡°When you play a game for a long time until your account becomes a waste, will you open a new account?¡± ¡°Your brother was in the same year as us. Do you know how awesome he is? He graduated from elementary as the city¡¯s third-best, and he was recruited into a key middle school. Do you know how many Olympiad certificates and trophies he has won? Do you know how much your dad loves him?¡± ¡°Your dad has your brother, a full-packed grade, in his hands, so who the hell cares if you fail the exam?¡± At that time, Xu Lichen told her that. That was the first and only time Zhang Yansheng saw Xu Lichen cry. She offered her shoulder for him. As a result, he refused to lean on it. He was so sad, there were snots coming out of his nose, but he still wanted to pretend to be f*cking handsome. She accompanied him to sit on the road, while drinking beer and smoking cigarettes. The eyes of passing pedestrians looking at these two vicissitudes of life were hard to say, and the parents holding their children deliberately detoured with disgust in their eyes. However, the two of them did not care. It was getting dark, and it was so late that no one called him to go home, nor did anyone call her to go home. No one cares about them, and of course, they don¡¯t care about the others. Xu Lichen¡¯s chest began to rise and fall, and his breathing became unstable. His gaze at Zhang Yansheng became fierce. Zhang Yansheng looked directly at him without fear. Xu Lichen suddenly pushed her abruptly, turned over and sat up! Fortunately, Zhang Yansheng was prepared a long time ago, and the moment he pushed her, she quickly supported herself, jumped off him and stood still on the ground. Xu Lichen was sitting on the messy coffee table, his chest heaving violently, and the corners of his eyes were a little red. He seemed to want to hurt people violently, but after taking a few deep breaths, after half a minute, he managed to control his emotions. ¡°F*ck you, Zhang Yansheng!¡± He cursed her with a strong smile, ¡°It¡¯s my fault to hit your classmate, but you can¡¯t make jokes about this kind of thing!¡± Zhang Yansheng looked at him with dark eyes, which made the back of his neck cold. He wanted to say something more to expose her nonsense, but Zhang Yansheng said, ¡°He didn¡¯t attend your elementary school graduation ceremony.¡± ¡°He said that he needs to accompany a client from D Country. So, you are the only child in your class who only has a mother and a father who didn¡¯t come.¡± ¡°But in fact, that day was your brother¡¯s graduation ceremony as well. He went there instead.¡± ¡°He made a time difference and attended the ceremony first, then saw the client afterwards, which deceived your mother too.¡± Xu Lichen stood up. As soon as he stood up, he was taller than Zhang Yansheng. ¡°F*ck you, show me your evidence!¡± He finally struggled. Gritting his teeth which made his cheeks deformed. He didn¡¯t want to think deeply about how Zhang Yansheng knew so many details. Yes, he still remembers the graduation ceremony, and he was very angry. Later, his father bought him something, so he calmed down. Xu Lichen suddenly found that he couldn¡¯t remember what his father bought to compensate him that time. He has too many things, and he can get whatever he wants. After three days of playing, the heat is gone, and he throws it into the nooks and crannies, and he can¡¯t remember it anymore. Those details were mentioned by Xu Lichen¡¯s younger brother when he confronted him. The younger brother was malicious. He was so good, but he is burdened with the identity of an illegitimate child, and he hates Xu Lichen so much. Xu Lichen was also cruel, and directly caused him to fail the college entrance examination. The younger brother still wants to retake the exam. Xu Lichen smiled: ¡°Okay, then we will do it again next year. It doesn¡¯t matter how many years we toss each other.¡± The younger brother did not retake the exam in the end, fearing that Xu Lichen would ruin it again. Xu Lichen will not let him go. If he really keeps on taking the exams year by year, when his mentality collapses, it will only get worse and worse. He finally went to a very unsatisfactory school. Zhang Yansheng said, ¡°I have evidence, come to me on Monday to get it. Let¡¯s have a fair trade.¡± She turned around and walked out, stopped after a few steps, and turned her head. ¡°If I were you, I wouldn¡¯t go to your dad to question him. To scare the snake, it is better to persuade your mother to transfer assets as soon as possible.¡± ¡°You are your mother¡¯s only son, and the assets she transfers will be yours sooner or later. Your father¡¯s side is not necessary.¡± ¡°Clear your mind.¡± CH 71 Zhang Yansheng made Xu Lichen¡¯s mind clearer. But when she walked out of the door of Baochi, the cold night wind swept the sand-like little snow on her face, and she also woke up. People are always like this. If they do things on impulse, as long as they give you three or five minutes, they can actually calm down. But oftentimes, a decision was made at that moment, and there was nothing to calm you down for three or five minutes. Zhang Yansheng stood in the night snow for a while before pulling on the zipper of her jacket and initiating a voice call to Zhang Zhiyuan ¡ª because she didn¡¯t have Zhang Zhiyuan¡¯s phone number either. It was almost connected within seconds. Zhang Zhiyuan was as surprised as Xu Lichen when he received Zhang Yansheng¡¯s voice call: ¡°Hello? Zhang Yansheng?¡± Zhang Yansheng said, ¡°I have something to tell you, where do you live? I will come to you.¡± In the past and present lives, Zhang Yansheng is not regarded as a thoughtful person. She has always been strong, and she doesn¡¯t think there is anything wrong with meeting others at this time. In her previous life, she lived a completely upside-down life. When the others had taken their baths and were ready to go to bed, she just put on makeup and went out. Zhang Zhiyuan was silent for a second and said, ¡°Where are you? I¡¯m going to find you.¡± Zhang Yansheng rejected: ¡°I¡¯m already outside, I¡¯ll go to you instead.¡± ¡°Well¡­¡± Zhang Zhiyuan hesitated because of the strong influence in her tone. After a while, he said, ¡°I live in Dongfeng Dongli.¡± As if perceiving Zhang Yansheng¡¯s strangeness to this community, he added: ¡°It¡¯s the area behind the school.¡± ¡°Oh.¡± Zhang Yansheng suddenly realized, ¡°There.¡± ¡°Yes, in the direction I go after school, you go around the school, turn around after passing the home-cooked food stall, then just go straight, and you can see the gate of the community.¡± ¡°Okay, I¡¯ll call you when I get there.¡± ¡°Tell me when you¡¯re almost here.¡± ¡°Okay.¡± Zhang Yansheng called for a car. There is no traffic jam at this time, and she will be there in less than half an hour. She sent a message to Zhang Zhiyuan in advance: ¡°I¡¯m almost at the Dongfeng Bridge.¡± Zhang Zhiyuan replied: ¡°I will wait for you at the gate of the community.¡± Zhang Yansheng: ¡°Okay.¡± Zhang Yansheng asked the driver to wait for her: ¡°It won¡¯t take me long, so I won¡¯t have to call a car again.¡± When she got out of the car, she saw the tall figure of the boy by the big iron gate. This is a very old residential area. There were yellowing lights above the iron gate, which stretched the boy¡¯s shadow long and hit the snow. When the fine snow passed through the light, there was a little gleam of light. Zhang Zhiyuan stood at the big iron gate and looked around, thinking that he would see a yellow taxi. He did not expect Zhang Yansheng to get off a black Mercedes-Benz. When he found out that it was Zhang Yansheng, she had already stridden across the small road and walked towards him. Zhang Zhiyuan was a little nervous. He never had the experience of meeting a female classmate alone at such a late time. He didn¡¯t know if she came to him with any urgent matters that had to be said in person immediately. Zhang Yansheng walked over a few steps, glanced at the old-fashioned big iron gate, and said in surprise: ¡°So you live so close to the school?¡± It only takes 10 minutes to walk from this community to Yi High School. Zhang Zhiyuan breathed a sigh of relief and explained: ¡°It¡¯s rented. Our house is in Anhe District and we rented here for the convenience of going to school. There are three or four people in our class who are renting here.¡± Zhang Yansheng was even more surprised: ¡°Really?¡± For students like her who have special cars and drivers to pick them up and drop them off at school, this is already a blind spot in her knowledge. Zhang Zhiyuan¡¯s nervousness had passed, and he asked, ¡°Is there anything wrong for you to come here suddenly?¡± Zhang Yansheng glanced at him. Zhang Zhiyuan looks good, much gentler than the little devil, Xu Lichen. The dressing applied on his face had been peeled off two days ago, and the traces of scars with broken skin can be seen on his skin. The congestion has also faded away, but a few faint blue colors can be vaguely seen when you look closely. She said: ¡°I just beat Xu Lichen up. He¡¯s the guy in Class 8.¡± ¡°I have avenged you.¡± She raised her fist to show him the marks on her tied hands, ¡°This is his blood. His injury was much heavier than you, not lighter than you, I promise.¡± The educated boy was so startled that he opened his mouth and couldn¡¯t make a sound for a while. After finally closing his mouth, he asked, ¡°You? Beat him up?¡± Zhang Yansheng happily admitted: ¡°Yes.¡± Zhang Zhiyuan was shocked again. ¡°The girls in the class always say that you have been trained, are you really¡­?¡± He said incredulously. ¡°Of course.¡± Zhang Yansheng raised her eyebrows, ¡°Xu Lichen can¡¯t beat me.¡± Zhang Zhiyuan took a deep breath. Zhang Yansheng couldn¡¯t help but smile: ¡°It¡¯s true.¡± Zhang Zhiyuan rubbed his forehead at a loss, and asked, ¡°Do you¡­ know everything?¡± ¡°Yes.¡± Zhang Yansheng admitted, ¡°Otherwise, why would I go over there and beat him?¡± She said: ¡°I just came here to tell you that I asked Xu Lichen to go to the dean on Monday to admit his mistake, and let him take responsibility for the matter and take you out of it. So, we¡¯ll see on Monday. If he refuses, I¡¯ll go to the dean myself and will make it clear to the dean that you are innocent of this matter. Anyway, I will definitely not let you be punished. Don¡¯t worry.¡± Zhang Zhiyuan was silent for a few seconds, feeling helpless: ¡°Zhang Yansheng, he and I never mentioned you in the dean¡¯s office, I just didn¡¯t want to get you involved.¡± ¡°You are wrong, this matter shouldn¡¯t have pulled you in.¡± Zhang Yansheng said, ¡°It¡¯s all my fault. Bah, why blame me, it¡¯s all Xu Lichen¡¯s fault. He is an idiot, don¡¯t pay attention to him in the future.¡± Zhang Zhiyuan said softly: ¡°Girls don¡¯t swear.¡± Zhang Yansheng said: ¡°Okay.¡± She communicates with her classmates in the class and naturally doesn¡¯t swear. When she meets Wang Qian and Xu Lichen, she will speak out naturally. The switching is so smooth that even she herself felt incredible. ¡°Anyway, don¡¯t worry.¡± Zhang Yansheng said, ¡°I will solve this matter.¡± Zhang Zhiyuan said, ¡°If he refuses, what are you going to do?¡± ¡°The dean already knew that he had pestered me before, so I will just tell him that Xu Lichen was harassing me again. In order to make him give up, I lied to him that I liked a certain boy in the class and said your name casually. Then, Xu Lichen beat you up, so you are completely innocent.¡± Zhang Yansheng said. Zhang Zhiyuan didn¡¯t expect Zhang Yansheng to be so slippery when she made up nonsense. But is it really a lie? Why did Xu Lichen in Class 8 find him? How could Xu Lichen know him? There was something dangling in Zhang Zhiyuan¡¯s heart. He smiled and said, ¡°It sounds reasonable.¡± ¡°The logic is fine.¡± Zhang Yansheng said, ¡°And it will also give the dean a way out. I bet if you hadn¡¯t been so hard-mouthed of not pulling me on this, the dean wouldn¡¯t want to punish a student from Class 2. He couldn¡¯t wait to give Xu Lichen three consecutive punishments to make him happy, and he couldn¡¯t bear to give punishments to the students in Class 1, Class 2, and Class 3.¡± It really described the dean to the essence. At that time, the dean¡¯s heart was obviously biased, and various hints asked him to put all the blame on the student in Class 8. But Xu Lichen in Class 8 didn¡¯t mention Zhang Yansheng by a word either, as if showing the attitude of ¡®I was the one who did it and I came at him¡¯. Zhang Zhiyuan felt that it was unfair to push all the blame on him, so he also took the burden. After all, he is also a young man who is only 15 or 16 years old. Zhang Zhiyuan was amused by Zhang Yansheng. Only then did Zhang Yansheng realize that he still had canine teeth, but it was not so obvious. It can only be seen from this angle, which is particularly playful. Zhang Yansheng thought it was very cute. Xu Lichen had made her so angry and hostile all night today, and suddenly her heart became relaxed. She said, ¡°I¡¯m just here to tell you about this. Anyway, don¡¯t worry, there are many ways, but you can¡¯t always be punished. Okay, I have nothing else to do then, so I will go back now.¡± ¡°Is that the only thing?¡± Zhang Zhiyuan was helpless, ¡°We can actually talk about it tomorrow, or won¡¯t it be okay to just say it on VX?¡± At night, a girl came out¡­ Zhang Yansheng snorted: ¡°That¡¯s not my character. If I have something to say, I will always say it face-to-face, and I have avenged you on the spot.¡± Zhang Zhiyuan had already seen that Zhang Yansheng was different from the ordinary girls in the class who followed the rules. But if you want to say that she is a bad girl, that is absolutely wrong. In short, she is special, different and unique. ¡°You just found out about it today?¡± he asked. ¡°Yes.¡± Zhang Yansheng said, ¡°So, I went out to avenge you directly.¡± Then, she came to him right after to report? Definitely. The color of the blood stains on the cloth wrapped around her hands is still very fresh. Zhang Zhiyuan raised his head and sighed, and said, ¡°Actually, I was also wrong¡­¡± Zhang Yansheng was somehow possessed by the dean, and insisted with iron and bronze teeth: ¡°Impossible! It¡¯s all because of that bastard Xu Lichen!¡± ¡°It¡¯s true.¡± Zhang Zhiyuan confessed, ¡°He didn¡¯t hit me at first. I was too impulsive when I spoke, so I started to move my hands.¡± Zhang Yansheng¡¯s eyes were full of doubt. Zhang Zhiyuan was helpless and explained to her: ¡°Talking to boys is definitely different from talking to girls. Of course, I have to be calm when I usually talk to you, but with such a boy, I definitely can¡¯t be calm with him¡­¡± ¡°Moreover, I have been tall since I was a child, and I have not suffered from fighting. Most boys dare not take the initiative to provoke me. But I¡­¡± Zhang Zhiyuan covered his face with one hand and said of the shame, ¡°I didn¡¯t expect him to be so powerful. I have no room to fight back¡­¡± ¡°That¡¯s for sure.¡± Zhang Yansheng wanted to rub her forehead. ¡°He has been training in free combat since he was seven or eight years old. It has been almost 10 years. His level can be considered as an amateur.¡± There was a lot of information in her words and Zhang Zhiyuan didn¡¯t miss it. He had also heard a little gossip about Zhang Yansheng and Xu Lichen before. But he hadn¡¯t seen how the two of them were at school, so he didn¡¯t take it seriously. After being beaten up by Xu Lichen this time, he realized that there must be more between the two of them than he thought. But to what extent, Zhang Zhiyuan didn¡¯t know. He couldn¡¯t help asking: ¡°You know him¡­ very well?¡± Zhang Yansheng said, ¡°I know him, but it¡¯s nothing. He is an asshole.¡± The words ¡®nothing¡¯ must refer specifically to emotional aspects, which Zhang Zhiyuan understands. But the word ¡®asshole¡¯ is sometimes used to curse, and sometimes it is the exact opposite, depending on the context. And at this moment, Zhang Zhiyuan couldn¡¯t tell what the word asshole meant in the current context. Seeing the change in his expression, there seemed to be worry in his eyes. Zhang Yansheng said, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I don¡¯t like him. Besides, puppy love is not allowed in our school.¡± In fact, puppy love is not allowed in any school. It¡¯s nothing more than lose control or strict control. Those who are strictly controlled, like in high school, emotions are in covert. It is really impossible to completely eliminate puppy love at this age. ¡°Then, I¡¯m leaving now. You also hurry back. It¡¯s too cold.¡± Zhang Yansheng took a step back, waved to Zhang Zhiyuan, turned around and prepared to leave. ¡°Zhang Yansheng!¡± Zhang Zhiyuan stopped her. Zhang Yansheng turned to look at him. She was standing in the light, and the dots of snow were woven into a halo around her. Zhang Zhiyuan knew that Zhang Yansheng¡¯s attitude towards him was gentler than towards other people. But in such a hazy halo, she is still so beautiful and aggressive. At this moment, Zhang Zhiyuan understood Xu Lichen better than anyone else. He moved his lips and said, ¡°I¡­¡± There is youth, shyness, and impulsiveness in the eyes of the young man. Zhang Yansheng did not stop him. She wanted to hear him finish. No matter what he had to say, she wanted to hear him say it. In her previous life, her girlhood was as bitter as the sea of vicissitudes, and Xu Lichen was also a self-proclaimed cool and handsome tyrant. Both of them missed the simplest and purest beauty that they should have at that age. In short, the youth and beauty are so attractive that Zhang Yansheng is a little greedy and wants to hear it for herself. Even if she wants to nip it in the bud, wait until she has finished listening before pinching it. Even the young man¡¯s eyes and face, the words that were about to come out of his lips, made her heart beat faster. After staying with young people for a long time, she seemed to have a girly heart that she hadn¡¯t been able to have in her previous life. Zhang Zhiyuan pursed his lips and said, ¡°I¡­¡± CH 72 Something hot was surging in Zhang Zhiyuan¡¯s chest. It made his heart beat faster, and his throat became inexplicably dry. Whatever he wants to say, the emotion he wants to express is on the tip of his tongue, but there is always a hint of clarity in his mind. ¡°I, I¡­¡± He said, ¡°I also think it¡¯s best not to fall in love in high school.¡± Zhang Yansheng¡¯s mouth opened and closed. Zhang Zhiyuan felt hot on his face, but still insisted: ¡°Learning is more important. We only have more than 900 days.¡± Zhang Yansheng stared at him for a few seconds, then suddenly covered her face. It can¡¯t be said to be a disappointment, she just thinks it¡¯s¡­ funny. ¡°You¡­¡± She couldn¡¯t help laughing. Zhang Zhiyuan was embarrassed and then he also thought he was funny. He wanted to hold back from laughing, but couldn¡¯t hold it back, so he bit his lips hard. The two of them laugh at each other in the night and under the lights. When Zhang Zhiyuan said it, he was worried that Zhang Yansheng would be disappointed or something. But when he saw Zhang Yansheng¡¯s laugh, he knew that she had completely seen through his forced turning point. But she was neither disappointed nor angry, so she must also understand what the emotions in his heart were, and at the same time she also understood that what he said was right. Zhang Yansheng was indeed in this state of mind at this time. She didn¡¯t expect that the young man¡¯s mind would be so clear at such a hazy and charming moment, when he was in love with his first love. There is no point in being angry. That little expectation fails, and all it brings is unstoppable laughter. The two laughed enough, and Zhang Yansheng said, ¡°You are right, so don¡¯t have puppy love. Q University is still waiting for you.¡± Zhang Zhiyuan looked up to the sky: ¡°Don¡¯t put pressure on me.¡± Zhang Yansheng smiled again, and was about to speak, when suddenly a woman¡¯s voice sounded behind him: ¡°Zhiyuan.¡± The atmosphere of hormones and youth was dissipated. Two people looked over at the same time, and a middle-aged woman was crossing the small iron gate embedded in the big iron gate, and asked hesitantly: ¡°Didn¡¯t you say you¡¯re going downstairs to take out the garbage? Why did you get here?¡± Zhang Zhiyuan called ¡°Mom¡± and said, ¡°I¡¯m just talking about something with my classmate.¡± The middle-aged woman looked over, and Zhang Yansheng called politely: ¡°Auntie.¡± The middle-aged woman responded and asked, ¡°Why are you still out so late? What¡¯s the matter?¡± When the adult saw the two children outside at this time, she asked her. Strictly speaking, there was actually no problem with the content of her words. The problem is her vigilant tone and cautious attitude. Zhang Zhiyuan saw that the smile that had naturally appeared on Zhang Yansheng¡¯s beautiful face had disappeared. Instead, it was replaced with a reserved and alienated smile. ¡°Mom!¡± He said immediately, ¡°We will finish talking soon, you go back first.¡± Zhang Yansheng glanced at Zhang Zhiyuan, a little surprised by the toughness in his tone. He said before that he was too aggressive when talking to Xu Lichen, but Zhang Yansheng didn¡¯t really believe it. Because in their class, the girls basically have an impression of Zhang Zhiyuan as ¡®tall, gentle, and handsome¡¯. In particular, he was extremely patient with Zhang Yansheng. The slower speed of speech and the lighter voice while discussing a topic make people feel his gentleness. It even reached the point where Zhang Yansheng felt that his character was a bit warm. Now, it seems that he really has a strong side. ¡°We¡¯re finished talking, I will go home now.¡± Zhang Yansheng still gave Zhang Zhiyuan face, and said politely, ¡°Goodbye, Auntie.¡± Zhang Zhiyuan said, ¡°Be careful on the road.¡± Zhang Zhiyuan¡¯s mother asked in surprise, ¡°You don¡¯t live here?¡± She thought that this girl, like them and a few other classmates, rented an apartment in Dongfeng Dongli for the convenience of going to school. ¡°No.¡± Zhang Yansheng replied, then raised her chin to look at Zhang Zhiyuan, ¡°I¡¯ll go now.¡± Zhang Zhiyuan nodded. Zhang Zhiyuan¡¯s mother hesitated. At night, such a beautiful girl is alone¡­ As an adult, Zhang Zhiyuan¡¯s mother thinks it¡¯s best if someone can send her home, but as a mother, she doesn¡¯t want her son to have more opportunities to be alone with the girl who came to her son after running around outside at night. Just when she hesitated whether to send the girl by herself, the girl had already stridden across the small road. The driver of a black Mercedes-Benz on the opposite side got out of the car and opened the door for her. Then, the car drove away. Zhang Zhiyuan¡¯s mother was even more surprised. ¡°Your classmate¡¯s house conditions are pretty good?¡± she asked. Zhang Zhiyuan made an ¡°umm¡± sound and said: ¡°Maybe. I don¡¯t know.¡± The high school students really do not pay attention to these things. Well, Mercedes-Benz is too popular, and Zhang Zhiyuan also knows it. But if Zhang Yansheng was to ride in the Rolls Royce or Bentley at home, he may not be able to distinguish the brand. He doesn¡¯t know and he doesn¡¯t care. The two walked back silently. Zhang Zhiyuan¡¯s mother didn¡¯t say anything, and didn¡¯t ask Zhang Zhiyuan why he ¡®threw the garbage¡¯ outside the community. There are some things that she knows in her heart, and if they are broken, they are not easy to deal with. But she couldn¡¯t help but say, ¡°That girl is very beautiful.¡± The corners of Zhang Zhiyuan¡¯s mouth are hooked: ¡°The boys in our class are always jeering, saying that she is the current school flower.¡± The mother observed her son¡¯s expression and said, ¡°High school¡­¡± Zhang Zhiyuan sighed and stopped: ¡°I won¡¯t fall in love. I have more important things to do.¡± Zhang Zhiyuan¡¯s mother believed him. When she was looking for her son and found him at the gate just now, she heard the last sentence Zhang Yansheng said, saying that she agreed not to fall in love, and said that Q University was waiting for Zhang Zhiyuan. The words are quite pleasing to the ear, as if the two of them are indeed not secretly dating. After taking a few steps, she couldn¡¯t help but say again: ¡°She seems to be a girl with a big temper. I didn¡¯t say anything wrong just now, did I?¡± The change in Zhang Yansheng¡¯s attitude can even be felt by Zhang Zhiyuan, and of course she will not be imperceptible as an adult. She just thinks that Zhang Yansheng is a very proud little girl, and it is probably possible that beautiful little girls all have that air of arrogance ¡ª this is the general perception of parents. Zhang Zhiyuan was silent for a while, and said bluntly: ¡°Don¡¯t do that to my female classmates in the future.¡± Mom asked: ¡°Do what?¡± ¡°Don¡¯t guard against others like thieves.¡± Zhang Zhiyuan said helplessly, ¡°Your son is only a baby in your heart, and he is nothing in the eyes of others. No one cares about it.¡± Mother angrily said: ¡°What are you talking about?¡± But that kind of defense against others has become her instinct, and it is not something that can be changed in a few words. Zhang Zhiyuan said no more. His mother said: ¡°It¡¯s not that you won¡¯t be allowed to fall in love, but it can¡¯t be now. When you get into the university, then we¡¯ll talk again. In the three years of high school, the college entrance examination was a plank bridge crowded by thousands of troops and horses. An exam is a lifetime event and it can determine your life¡­¡± These are all clich¨¦s, so Zhang Zhiyuan said: ¡°I know, no need to say it repeatedly.¡± ¡°You children, you know that you have done things that always make your parents worried.¡± His mother said, ¡°I have to go to your dean next week. This matter cannot be so qualitative. I heard from Li Shuqing¡¯s mother that the boy in Class 8 has already been punished previously. Doesn¡¯t this prove that he is a problematic student? Surely the responsibility cannot be divided in half by one person, so why should you be punished¡­¡± Her son said, ¡°If you only listen to me when I tell you not to call the police, then nothing will happen.¡± His mother stopped, looking sad. She also regretted it. In her heart, her son is a ¡®good boy¡¯ who was beaten by a student from the same school. She must blame the other party, but she didn¡¯t expect other people¡¯s ideas to be different from hers. The dean said that the video only showed that two students were talking, and then they clashed. At first, they pushed each other. Later, even though Zhang Zhiyuan was ¡®beaten¡¯, it could only show that the other child was fighting hard. It does not mean that he is fully responsible. So, he called the two students for questioning, wanting to ask clearly. Who knows that the two of them will say the same thing? After the dean counseled them for a long time, her son didn¡¯t change his words. In the end, the responsibility was divided in half for each of them. She regretted it to death. Zhang Zhiyuan turned to look at her and saw the regretful and sad expression on her face. She has grown old very quickly in the past few years, and she has a lot of gray hair on her sideburns. She always said that she wanted to dye it, but she didn¡¯t dye it, and she didn¡¯t spend this unnecessary money on herself. There are many things left at their home, so she didn¡¯t want to rent it out, for fear that the tenant would ruin the house. Therefore, in the past three years, they had to bear the additional rent in Dongfeng Dongli. Because there are many customers like them who rent houses for their children to go to school, so the rent here has been high¡­ Zhang Zhiyuan walked back and put his arm around his mother. He surpassed her in height when he was in middle school. He hugged her like this. Looking from behind, he thought she was a child and he was an adult. ¡°Don¡¯t worry about it.¡± He said, ¡°I have talked with our class head teacher and the punishment can be revoked. Our whole class has also talked with the dean and he agreed not to put it in my record as long as I entered the top class. It will be withdrawn for the reason that I had made great progress in my studies. So, don¡¯t worry.¡± In the dim night, there was the sound of the boy who was whispering. ¡°Why did you come down to find me? I only came down for a short while.¡± ¡°Didn¡¯t you work overtime again today, and you haven¡¯t rested early.¡± ¡°I¡¯ll go to bed later. I haven¡¯t finished brushing up on a set of questions.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t worry¡­¡± The son is filial but tough: ¡°You and I are the only two people in the family. Can you discuss anything with me before doing it?¡± His mother said helplessly: ¡°I know, ah¡­¡± The two went home. After the second class ended on Monday, everyone went out one after another, preparing to go to the playground. Xu Lichen blocked Zhang Yansheng at the door of Class 2¡¯s room. Under the sidelong gaze of the classmates, the two of them fell behind and talked. ¡°I went to the dean¡¯s office after the first class.¡± Xu Lichen said, ¡°It¡¯s done.¡± He took the initiative to take over all the responsibilities. The dean probably saw him so pleasingly for the first time. Even the words of educating him were more gentle than usual, and he smiled at him for the first time. Xu Lichen got goosebumps. Zhang Yansheng glanced at Xu Lichen. Yi High School requires uniforms to be worn on Mondays. Even if Yi High School is such a good school, the appearance of the school uniform can¡¯t escape the look from outside, it¡¯s so ugly. Xu Lichen, who put away his hippie smile and was wearing a school uniform, was actually no different from other boys except for his handsome appearance. Zhang Yansheng let out a ¡°Oh¡± and said, ¡°Okay. I got it.¡± She walked out, and Xu Lichen grabbed her arm: ¡°It was a fair deal.¡± ¡°You want to talk about it here?¡± Zhang Yansheng glanced at him, ¡°¡­wait for me at the subway station after school.¡± CH 73 The dean again took up the time between class exercises to announce the punishment. When he announced Xu Lichen¡¯s punishment on the radio, and then said, ¡°Let¡¯s start broadcasting¡±, the students in Class 2 all looked at Zhang Zhiyuan behind with surprise, winking at him and gesturing. Zhang Zhiyuan couldn¡¯t help but look at Zhang Yansheng. Zhang Yansheng didn¡¯t look back, just touched the hair near her ear. When the students in Class 8 heard the announcement, they turned their heads and wanted to wink at Xu Lichen, ¡°Congratulations¡±. He achieved another disciplinary achievement. They also knew that Xu Lichen didn¡¯t care about punishment or what not. But today Xu Lichen was out of his usual character, not having that proud and arrogant smile. He cast his eyes on the ground in front of him, as if he hadn¡¯t focused at all, and they didn¡¯t know what he was thinking. The students squeezed their eyes for a long time, and called him with ¡®hiss¡¯ and ¡®hush¡¯, but he did not respond to them at all. It made their boss turn his head back again in a boring manner. After lunch, Zhang Yansheng wandered around the school for a while. She doesn¡¯t like to go back to the classroom and sit down as soon as she is full, especially in winter, when the windows are tightly closed, the classroom is stuffier. But the other girls were too cold, so they all went back to the classroom first. Zhang Zhiyuan took advantage of this empty gap to catch up with her and apologized to her. Zhang Yansheng raised his eyebrows: ¡°What are you apologizing for?¡± ¡°Just for the night before yesterday,¡± Zhang Zhiyuan said, ¡°My mother¡¯s attitude was not very good¡­¡± Zhang Yansheng didn¡¯t care: ¡°Aren¡¯t all parents like that?¡± She had seen a much worse attitude in her previous life. It was just a stranger walking on the road. After walking over, she heard her say to her child behind her: If you dare to dress up like that, I will kill you. ¡°Don¡¯t mind it then.¡± Zhang Zhiyuan breathed a sigh of relief. ¡°It¡¯s not a big deal.¡± Zhang Yansheng said silently. Zhang Zhiyuan pursed his lips and said, ¡°Actually¡­ I am from a single-parent family.¡± Zhang Yansheng slowed down and looked up at him. ¡°My dad passed away when I was in the 5th grade. My mother took care of me alone, and she never got married again. She just¡­ attached a lot of importance to me.¡± ¡°That¡¯s for sure. She is your mother.¡± Zhang Yansheng said. She hadn¡¯t taken this matter to heart. Now that she knew about his family situation, her heart became softer, and her voice was a bit softer than usual: ¡°You are her most important person. She must have very high expectations of you.¡± So, if you are more disciplined and stricter, you can be regarded as an eye-catching person. ¡°Yes!¡± Zhang Zhiyuan admitted, ¡°Her dream is for me to go to Q University.¡± You can, Zhang Yansheng said silently in her heart. There is an indescribable envy. She remembers that when she actually didn¡¯t understand what was going on in college entrance examinations, she also uttered bold words to her mother, ¡°When I grow up, I will pass the exam and go to Q University or B University.¡± This is an ambition that almost every child would have when they were young. Her mother certainly didn¡¯t take it seriously at the time, but she still smiled happily. Unfortunately, she can¡¯t be like Zhang Zhiyuan, who can really make her mother¡¯s wish come true and make her proud of her child. Zhang Zhiyuan is an enviable ¡®other people¡¯s child¡¯. She smiled: ¡°You will definitely be admitted there.¡± Zhang Zhiyuan smiled: ¡°I found that you always have so much confidence in me.¡± He scratched his forehead and said, ¡°Actually, I am very stupid. When I was in the first year of middle school, I wanted to go to a vocational high school, technical secondary school, or something.¡± Zhang Yansheng said inexplicably: ¡°Huh?¡± Zhang Zhiyuan was a little embarrassed and told her: ¡°Because my mother raised me by herself, so my family had a mortgage for many years. I felt that my mother was very hardworking, so I just want to go to work early to earn money.¡± Zhang Yansheng can accept this idea from others, but Zhang Zhiyuan? Come on, he is the champion! Her thoughts were obviously revealed through her expression. Zhang Zhiyuan was a little embarrassed and said, ¡°Later, the head teacher found out about it and called my mother, and my mother knew what I thought at that time. She was so sad that she cried. Then, she told me that I can¡¯t be so short-sighted. Hard work for a few years is completely different from hard work for a lifetime.¡± Zhang Yansheng was greatly relieved: ¡°Auntie is right.¡± Her mind was very clear. ¡°Yes.¡± Zhang Zhiyuan said, ¡°In fact, it¡¯s ridiculous in retrospect, but at that age, it¡¯s really easy to get stuck or get confused. Fortunately, an adult woke me up, so I didn¡¯t go the wrong way.¡± These words touched Zhang Yansheng and made her silent. After a while, she raised her head: ¡°Then, have you figured it out clearly now? What are your thoughts in your future?¡± ¡°Actually, my mother really wants me to go abroad. When my dad was still alive, he wanted me to study abroad when I grew up.¡± Zhang Zhiyuan said, ¡°But my mother and I have discussed it before. The cost is too high and we basically can¡¯t apply for scholarships for undergraduate degrees. Based on the current situation of our family, we can¡¯t afford it. My mother wants to sell our house, and she wants to borrow some from relatives and friends¡­¡± ¡°I stopped her. I don¡¯t think it¡¯s necessary. There are also good universities in China, 211 and 985,1Project 211 and Project 985 ¨C these are projects to improve the development and reputation of the education system in China. so it is definitely no problem to get an undergraduate degree.¡± ¡°If you are studying for graduate school, it is easier to apply for scholarships abroad. Of course, the premise is that you have good grades. I have studied a lot of information, and I think it should be possible to do it by the time I am an undergraduate.¡± ¡°Of course, the premise is that I first have to go to a good enough university in China.¡± ¡°In that case, the premise is that the three years of high school are very critical and cannot be relaxed.¡± ¡°So, you know exactly what you want and what you should do, and¡­¡± Zhang Yansheng said, ¡°You are always on the right path and doing the right thing.¡± Zhang Zhiyuan didn¡¯t understand why there was so much emotion in Zhang Yansheng¡¯s eyes. He smiled and said, ¡°Isn¡¯t everyone like this?¡± Not really. Even in an excellent class like the Class 2, there are students in the class who only know the exercises in front of them, but don¡¯t know where the future is. Therefore, even if the academic performance is the same, there are still differences in the maturity of these students. So, last Saturday night, his eyebrows were full of teenager¡¯s affection, but what he said was that he had to study hard. Under Zhang Zhiyuan¡¯s youth and gentleness, there is rationality and maturity which is beyond Zhang Yansheng¡¯s expectation. The loss of a young man¡¯s father is one of the three sorrows in life. He lost his father at the same age as she lost her mother. His family may not have the blood of the illegitimate children of his stepmother or stepfather, but he has the financial pressure that he must bear. But he chose a completely different path from her in her previous life. He chose to work hard for himself and his mother. Yes, this is the right way. Ah¡­ I really want to let a certain bastard come and listen to this and have a look. Compare it with others, and accept this kind of flogging with her. The teacher often drags the class, so that the hours after school vary from class to class. However, the teachers have a tacit understanding that they generally don¡¯t need to drag the class in Class 8. So, when Zhang Yansheng arrived at the back of the subway station, Xu Lichen was already there. He was chatting with his driver and Zhang Yansheng¡¯s driver, Xiao Zhou ¡ª after a long time, Xiao Zhou and the two of them actually became familiar with each other. Seeing her coming, Xu Lichen opened the car door and said, ¡°It¡¯s cold outside, let¡¯s talk in the car.¡± Zhang Yansheng greeted Xiao Zhou: ¡°Wait for me for a while.¡± Then, she got into the car. Xu Lichen closed the car door for her, went around to the other side and got into the car. After sitting down, he also closed the car door, turned his head and asked Zhang Yansheng, ¡°What about the evidence you mentioned?¡± Zhang Yansheng took something out of her coat pocket and gave it to him. The lights in the car were on and illuminated clearly. A square-folded piece of paper with horizontal partitions, neat on one side, and a little burr on one side. One can tell that it was a piece of paper torn from the homework book at first glance. ¡°This is it?¡± Xu Lichen murmured with dissatisfaction and opened the origami. Zhang Yansheng asked, ¡°You didn¡¯t go to question your parents on Sunday, did you?¡± ¡°Ask those farts!¡± Xu Lichen said, ¡°I can¡¯t even see the two of them at all!¡± One man¡¯s love is another man¡¯s poison. Zhang Zhiyuan¡¯s words showed helplessness and pressure on his mother to take herself too seriously. Zhang Yansheng was envious. Moreover, Zhang Yansheng felt that if Xu Lichen knew about it, he would be envious too. ¡°Ye Qingwen? Xu Mulin? Yinghua Experimental High School?¡± There were just three lines on the paper, two names and one school name. After Xu Lichen finished reading it, he looked up at Zhang Yansheng and waited for her to explain. Zhang Yansheng didn¡¯t disappoint him, and said clearly: ¡°Ye Qingwen is your father¡¯s white moonlight.¡±2°×Ô¹⠨C White Moonlight ¨C usually refers to the person or thing in the heart that is beyond reach, always loved, but cannot be touched. It refers to the intention of the sweetheart and the unforgettable first love. Xu Lichen stared at her: ¡°How can these words ¡®white moonlight¡¯ placed besides my father¡¯s name be so horrible?¡± Zhang Yansheng was speechless: ¡°Well, I can¡¯t find another more suitable word. She is your dad¡¯s first love, probably his goddess. She married a man who was much older than herself. At that time, that man¡¯s economic conditions were much better than your father¡¯s.¡± ¡°My dad has told me countless times that he started from scratch.¡± Xu Lichen said. ¡°Well anyway, her husband was richer than your dad at the time. She was doing well, a full-time wife, and has a child, who seems to be a son too, I guess?¡± Zhang Yansheng didn¡¯t remember the last point very clearly. ¡°Didn¡¯t you say that the one who was born claimed to be my brother?¡± ¡°He was born later. She also had a child with her ex-husband. Anyway, I can¡¯t remember whether it was a son or a daughter.¡± Zhang Yansheng said, ¡°In short, her husband went bankrupt and wanted to take her to die together. As a result, her husband, her parents who helped her with their child, and the child all died, and she survived alone. Her parents-in-law also said that she was a bearer of bad luck and chased her from the house, so she went out. It didn¡¯t make sense for her to fight for the house, because all their properties were later sealed off for liquidation and auction to pay off their debt.¡± ¡°She had a miserable life. When your dad heard about it, he went to be a hero to save the beauty.¡± Xu Lichen looked up at the roof of the car for a long time before gritting his teeth and nodded: ¡°My dad is so awesome, picking up a second-hand product as a pick-up man, huh?¡± ¡°That¡¯s why I said that she is his white moonlight, maybe even his true love.¡± Zhang Yansheng didn¡¯t understand it either. Zhang Huan has no real love in his vocabulary. He just likes the young meat or body of youth. If you ask him about his true love, maybe he will take Zhang Yansheng¡¯s mother¡¯s name out which is disgusting for Zhang Yansheng. With her understanding of him, the probability is quite high. She can¡¯t even think about it, she will vomit whenever she thinks about it. ¡°Later on, she followed your dad. When she was pregnant, your mother was pregnant with you first, and your brother was just a few months younger than you.¡± Zhang Yansheng said, ¡°But this woman has excessive mental stimulation and is very neurotic. Her own son disliked her attitude, and I heard that your father disliked that too.¡± If it weren¡¯t for true love, what else could it be? ¡°What do you mean?¡± Xu Lichen was irritable, ¡°My dad personally took her over and raised as a baby, and she is a f*cking psychotic? Zhang Yansheng tried to think about it: ¡°It¡¯s not a mental illness, it¡¯s just very neurotic. She wants to be with your dad all day long, she has to see your dad and wants to stick with your dad. If your dad gets busy for several days and doesn¡¯t visit her, she will be very upset or something. I don¡¯t know the specific details.¡± In fact, Zhang Yansheng knew many details, because Xu Lichen told her about it later on. Moreover, Ye Qingwen, that woman, also influenced Zhang Yansheng at the time. Her son failed the college entrance examination, and Xu Lichen¡¯s father wanted to send him abroad. Ye Qingwen refused it no matter what. Because she couldn¡¯t do without her son, she would be hysterical if he went abroad. But she couldn¡¯t leave Xu Lichen¡¯s father as well and follow her son abroad to study. She would also be hysterical when she left Xu Lichen¡¯s father. Finally, because of her, Xu Lichen¡¯s father forced his illegitimate son to go to a local university not only in China, but also in K City. In his heart, he loves this illegitimate son more than Xu Lichen, but he loves the illegitimate son¡¯s mother more than the illegitimate son. It is better to let the illegitimate son resent the two of them, but also to satisfy his white moonlight¡¯s thoughts first. Zhang Huan should really be asked to come and have a look at this real great love saint, right? At that time, Zhang Huan also wanted to send Zhang Yansheng abroad. Zhang Yansheng was unwilling to leave her entire family to Liang Yingying, so that she could be domineering and be happy. Ye Qingwen¡¯s attitude inspired her. She was also determined not to go abroad, and resolutely stayed in K City, disgusting Zhang Huan and Liang Yingying. On the contrary, Xu Lichen was forcibly sent abroad by his mother. CH 74 Zhang Yansheng now thinks back to these things that happened at that time, only to feel that Xu Lichen¡¯s mother did the right thing. At that time, Xu Lichen made things more serious with his illegitimate brother. With his character and his already paranoid mind at the time, if he continued to develop like this, maybe he would draw a knife and stab the illegitimate child one day. Mother Xu¡¯s methods were tough at the time, but she effectively avoided worse things. Of course, neither Xu Lichen nor she could understand this at that time. Xu Lichen¡¯s relationship with his mother was very frosty. He felt that her heart was full of money, and she was only vying for property from his dad, and didn¡¯t care about her son. But Zhang Yansheng now thinks back to the situation of Xu¡¯s mother at that time. Her husband betrayed her. The mistress¡¯ son was raised so big and so good. Xu Lichen¡¯s father was the one with power in the company. She was thinking about transferring assets little by little, and she had to paralyze him with a smile and act as a loving couple with him outside. How much pressure does she have to bear? However, her biological son is not only a disappointment, but also ignorant. ¡°Her son is the same age as me, she must be a middle-aged woman, right? What the hell is this kind of heroine in a romance novel?¡± Xu Lichen looked sick. Zhang Yansheng shrugged her shoulders: ¡°Xu Mulin is your cheap brother. He is a legendary other people¡¯s child. He was signed by Yinghua Experimental High School after graduating from elementary school. Do you know Yinghua Experimental? They have the two-four school system,1¶þËÄѧÖÆ ¨C The two-four system is a kind of teaching system, two years in junior high school, four years in high school, you can go directly to the school¡¯s high school. the kind that connects from middle school to high school. Your brother studies well. If he comes to our Yi High School, he definitely will be admitted to the top class.¡±2Translator¡¯s Notes: I¡¯ve actually used elementary, middle, and high school in the translation, without knowing that I will encounter this information here. But in this novel, junior high school is the same as the middle school. Three years in junior high then another three years in senior high. Xu Lichen snorted unhappily. Zhang Yansheng finished it off with: ¡°Your dad loves him very much.¡± Xu Lichen was angry: ¡°Zhang Yansheng!¡± ¡°You can¡¯t bear it?¡± Zhang Yansheng stared at him. Xu Lichen suppressed his anger and asked her, ¡°I don¡¯t know these things, so how do you know about them?¡± ¡°I heard it from gossip.¡± Zhang Yansheng lied without changing her face, ¡°If you want people to know it, you can¡¯t do it yourself. K City is so big, and the entire business district is so big. If you don¡¯t believe it, just ask your dad about my dad. Even if they haven¡¯t had any business together, they should have heard of each other, maybe they met on some occasion.¡± She said quite eloquently: ¡°Anyway, gossip has come and passed onto me, I listened to it with relish. Then one day, I suddenly discovered that the protagonist¡¯s own son was in the same school as me, and he was the guy who was cheekily harassing me. Ho!¡± Xu Lichen believed it. Before, he had been surprised how Zhang Yansheng knew his private room number in Baochi, but then Zhang Yansheng blew him up with such a big incident, and he threw his doubts about that matter behind his head. After all, it was just a trivial matter compared with this matter. Now he is not in the mood to deal with Zhang Yansheng¡¯s ridicule, his mind is full of chaos. Zhang Yansheng glanced at him for a while, watching the expression on his face change, gritting his teeth, anxious and angry. The piece of homework paper was crumbled into a ball unconsciously by him in his hand. She said: ¡°Now that you know everything. What do you want to do next?¡± ¡°I¡­¡± Xu Lichen only said one word and he couldn¡¯t say anything anymore. Under such a huge change in the family, what sober and rational measures can you expect from a young man who usually is arrogant. Zhang Yansheng sighed slightly in her heart and said, ¡°According to the gossip I have heard, your mother already knew about this a long time ago.¡± In fact, Mother Xu should have been quietly transferring assets at this time. But Zhang Yansheng couldn¡¯t tell such a secret thing in advance. She changed her perspective and said, ¡°Let me remind you, no matter how good your relationship with your dad is, you have to be clear-headed. In this matter, you can only and must stand with your mother. I told you the other day, no matter what happened, you are your mother¡¯s only son. She just scolds you and beats you, but you are her only child. On your dad¡¯s side, hmm¡­¡± ¡°Sooner or later, your dad and your mother will tear their faces, but it¡¯s definitely not now. If they could tear their faces now, a strong woman like your mother would have torn it with him a long time ago. She must have a reason why she can¡¯t do this now. So, I suggest that you don¡¯t rush to argue with your dad, you have to communicate with your mother first.¡± ¡°I¡¯ve thought about it for a while, your mom now must be in a very difficult situation. Her husband has such a big bastard outside, and she doesn¡¯t know how much of their conjugal property has been sent there to prepare for the illegitimate child. She is injured in both feelings and interests. She can¡¯t tell you about it yet, so she can only grit her teeth.¡± ¡°You might as well persuade your mother that there is no way to talk about their feelings anymore, just talk about benefits. You and your mother have one interest, first think about how you can keep the assets that the two of you deserve.¡± Xu Lichen clutched the ball of paper, clenched his fists, and the blue veins on the back of his hand bulged. He hasn¡¯t spoken for a long time. Zhang Yansheng waited for a while, but when he didn¡¯t see him react, she raised her eyebrows: ¡°What¡¯s the matter? Are you still planning to accept your dad¡¯s little white moonlight and your cheap brother? Sure enough, you men think that too many wives and concubines are very good, right?¡± Xu Lichen immediately burst into foul language: ¡°B*llsh*t!¡± He glanced at Zhang Yansheng¡¯s beautiful face, and the sarcastic smile at the corner of her mouth seemed to be absent. He suppressed his anger and said bitterly: ¡°Zhang Yansheng, why do I find your mouth so poisonous?¡± ¡°It depends on who I am talking to.¡± Zhang Yansheng sneered, ¡°For people who are not clear-headed, just like you, I have to be a little more poisonous. If not, I am afraid that you will not listen. So, did you hear what I just said?¡± Xu Lichen wiped his face: ¡°I just want to go and see that wild species now, then beat him to the ground!¡± ¡°Uh huh~¡± Zhang Yansheng continued to say for him, ¡°Then they will call the police, and then alarm your dad, then stun the snake, and then break your mother¡¯s business, and drag your mother¡¯s back. Anyway, you will not be able to do anything that can help, so you deserve it.¡± ¡°You¡­¡± Xu Lichen was so angry that he couldn¡¯t speak. But he can¡¯t refute it. Zhang Yansheng¡¯s logic is very clear. If he really does not care and beats the bastard, isn¡¯t this going to be the result? ¡°Then, do I just leave him alone?¡± He asked with red eyes. ¡°That¡¯s why I¡¯ve been telling you to clear your mind.¡± Zhang Yansheng looked at him coldly, as if looking at her former self, ¡°If you cut off the water downstream, then there will be an endless supply of water upstream, so what¡¯s the point?¡± ¡°Who is the root cause of the problem in this matter? Is it the mistress? Is it the illegitimate child? Obviously, it¡¯s your dad!¡± ¡°You came up to hate your dad¡¯s illegitimate son first, not even the mistress. You still think it¡¯s very righteous, right? Do you feel that you are standing on a moral high ground? But what do you really think in your heart? Do you think I can¡¯t see it?¡± Zhang Yansheng¡¯s voice became more and more stronger: ¡°You don¡¯t hate your father who let down your mother, not even the mistress who destroyed your family. What you really hate¡­ is so ridiculous?! The one you hate is that illegitimate son who split your dad¡¯s love for you. Your first reaction is that you want to beat up the illegitimate son, jump like a dog, jump higher for the owner to see, and let the owner love him a little more¡­ Xu Lichen, look at how you behave!¡± Xu Lichen¡¯s face turned into pig liver color. However, Zhang Yansheng¡¯s words were cruel, and he was unable to refute them. The car turned very quiet. After a long time, Xu Lichen scolded: ¡°F*ck! So, what should I do now? Tell me!¡± Zhang Yansheng was so angry that she wanted to hit someone: ¡°Are you deaf? I already told you what to do! Go and ask your mom!¡±, she said angrily, ¡°I¡¯m not your mother!¡± She really wants to knock on this guy¡¯s pig head! Zhang Yansheng opened the door with anger and wanted to get out of the car. When the door opened a gap, she suddenly paused, turned her head, and said, ¡°Forget it! I won¡¯t be angry with a fool!¡± ¡°Let me tell you something that will make you happy.¡± She said, ¡°You hate your bastard brother to death, right? Well let me tell you, he hates you more than you hate him! His mother is a psychopath, and sure enough, the psychopath¡¯s son is also a psychopath. He hates that you are your father¡¯s legitimate child.¡± ¡°This kind of person has problems with his brain. Don¡¯t provoke him. Your mother is not a bully and you have to have some confidence in your mother. Don¡¯t give your mother a drag.¡± Before she finally got out of the car, she said, ¡°Talk to your mother and be patient. It¡¯s not very easy for her.¡± After getting out of the car, she slammed the door and turned around: ¡°Driver Zhou, let¡¯s go home!¡± Xu Lichen was left alone in the car. On Tuesday, Zhang Yansheng went to the head teacher of their class privately: ¡°¡­as far as the two subjects of physics and mathematics are concerned, there are too many points that I want to make up for. Do you think it¡¯s okay?¡± She is not good at physics and mathematics, and the total points are drawn. There is still half a month left until the final exam, and she wants to find a teacher to make up for it before the exam. Of course, it costs money. The head teacher in their class teaches physics, and she heard that they also do extra lessons outside to make extra money. Teachers in their schools are very in demand. Those who have the title of excellent teacher or special grade teacher are even more popular. However, teachers generally do not do make-up classes for students in their own classes, mainly because it is not easy to talk about money. The head teacher said, ¡°I¡¯ll help you look for it.¡± Zhang Yansheng entrusted this matter to the head teacher. In the afternoon, the head teacher was able to find teachers for her: ¡°Teacher Xu teaches physics, 600 yen per hour. Teacher Ma teaches math, he is a special grade teacher, 850 yen per hour.¡± She asked Zhang Yansheng if she could accept it. These are all internal prices for students in our school. If they are from a foreign school, they will be more expensive. So, it costs money to raise children, it is really expensive. In many families, children are like eating money. Thirty thousand a month can¡¯t afford a summer vacation for children. But this was like a drizzle for Zhang Yansheng, so she agreed. The head teacher said, ¡°Have your parents agreed already?¡± Zhang Yansheng said, ¡°No, I can just use my pocket money.¡± Head teacher: ¡°¡­¡± The head teacher knows some details about Zhang Yansheng. This girl spent money to enter the school, but as a result, she worked hard and entered the preparatory class. But those of them who teach, they have worked so hard to make extra money by putting in time and energy, and there are children who can actually pay for it with pocket money¡­ The head teacher felt sad for a while, then confirmed the make-up classes time with her and arranged them all for her. Because they are make-up classes at the end of the semester, they will not just come to the door. One will be arranged for a lunch break at noon and the other will be arranged after school in the evening. The Ministry of Education here in K City stipulates that evening self-study is not allowed in the first year of high school. So, the first-year high school students leave the school early and have time after class. Dinner can also be settled in the cafeteria with the students of the second and third year, which is very convenient. And she can go to class that night. Zhang Yansheng called Xiao Zhou and told Xiao Zhou the time to pick her up. When they got home in the evening, Zhang Heling and Zhang Shuocheng were already playing on the first floor. ¡°Sister, you came back so late. Have you eaten already?¡± The little girl threw away the game console and ran over to ask. She¡¯s very caring and considerate of others. This is so special¡­ no wonder it¡¯s called a little padded jacket.3СÃÞ°À ¨C little padded jacket ¨C literally has no special meaning, especially refers to soft, comfortable and warm cotton products for people to keep warm. Life is also a metaphor, which generally refers to the intimate relationship between a daughter and a father or mother, because daughters are usually delicate, gentle, and considerate, interpreting family love. And generally speaking, of intimate little padded jackets, parents¡¯ faces are usually filled with incomparable satisfaction and happiness. Who can resist it? CH 75 Enchantress12-15 minutes 15.02.2022 Zhang Yansheng patted Zhang Heling¡¯s head, and said ¡°Yes¡±. Zhang Huan was already at home. When Zhang Yansheng changed her clothes and went downstairs to drink water, he came over and asked: ¡°Why did you come home late today?¡± Zhang Yansheng talked about asking the teacher for guidance. Zhang Huan thought it was good, and told her: ¡°Dinner must be eaten on time, don¡¯t tire yourself too much. Hey, first year of high school has been so hard¡­¡± Like a peerless father. The answer is: ¡°How much is it? Dad will give you the tutor fee¡­ Forget it, needless to say, is that enough?¡± The moment she heard the transfer tone, Zhang Yansheng even thought that if their family and a family like Zhang Zhiyuan were evenly matched with each other, world peace might be achieved. Zhang Huan looked at Zhang Yansheng to see that there seemed to be something wrong in her eyes, and asked a little guilty: ¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡± Although Zhang Huan has done such bad things, his age and experience are there after all. Moreover, Zhang Yansheng feels that he is an expert on how to protect his own interests and make his life better. She said, ¡°There is something I want to ask.¡± It¡¯s rare for Zhang Yansheng to talk to him like this, and Zhang Huan suddenly refreshed: ¡°What¡¯s the matter? What¡¯s the dilemma? Tell Dad!¡± Zhang Yansheng glanced at the two little ones, as well as Liang Yingying, and said, ¡°Let¡¯s go over there and talk.¡± The father and daughter went to the room with the wine rack and the bar. Liang Yingying said to Zhang Heling: ¡°You follow them too!¡± Zhang Heling was inexplicable: ¡°My dad and my sister are talking about their own things, what am I going to do there?¡± Of course, it is to fight for favor! Liang Yingying wanted to compete for favor with Zhang Yansheng, but she couldn¡¯t do it. She already had the posture of an ancient concubine who had lost her favor. Zhang Shuocheng didn¡¯t succeed either. Seeing Zhang Yansheng was like a mouse seeing a cat. Fight for a fart! She has to rely on Zhang Heling! She doesn¡¯t know what happened to Zhang Huan in the last six months, but Zhang Heling seems to have surpassed Zhang Shuocheng. Is his brain damaged? She said to Zhang Heling: ¡°Stop playing, go get your dad a glass of water, act cutely or something!¡± Although the word ¡®fight for favor¡¯ cannot be clearly used to describe Liang Yingying¡¯s attempt, Zhang Heling faintly understands what she means. ¡°I¡¯m not going!¡± She turned her head angrily. ¡°Hey, what¡¯s the matter with you kid?! My words are now getting more and more useless, huh?¡± Liang Yingying became furious. ¡°If I go there, my sister will beat you!¡± Zhang Heling said angrily. ¡°What are you talking about?!¡± As soon as Liang Yingying was annoyed, she got on her hands, her two fingers had already pinched the flesh on Zhang Heling¡¯s arm through her clothes. Zhang Heling reacted quickly and immediately shouted: ¡°If you pinch me, I will go and tell my sister!¡± Liang Yingying¡¯s hand froze suddenly. If she let Zhang Yansheng know about it, she would either come to her in person or instigate Zhang Huan to come and give her a beating. Anyway, she can¡¯t ask for it! So hateful! Zhang Heling had already broken free from her hands, and seeing Liang Yingying¡¯s angry and annoyed appearance, she felt that she could hardly be in the same room with her mother. She ran away in a blink, and went back to the room! Zhang Shuocheng: ¡°Oh no!¡± Liang Yingying was annoyed, pointing at Zhang Shuocheng and cursed: ¡°Oh, what, oh! You¡¯re already playing games, have you finished your homework?¡± Not mentioning about the mother¡¯s kindness and son¡¯s filial piety, but homework instead, it was totally messed up. Zhang Shuocheng has a deep psychological shadow on the image of his mother¡¯s frenzied crazy woman. He jumped up quickly and yelled ¡°It¡¯s finished¡±, and ran away without hesitation Liang Yingying was left alone in the small hall. The aunt, who made the dessert, brought it in: ¡°Huh? Where are the kids?¡± They were there just now and were clamoring for a snack. Liang Yingying said irritably: ¡°They are all upstairs!¡± The aunt muttered and asked, ¡°Would you like some snack, madam?¡± ¡°Eat what snack?!¡± Liang Yingying scolded, ¡°Can¡¯t you see that I have gained weight recently?!¡± The aunt resisted the urge to roll her eyes, turned around, and sent the dim sum upstairs to the two little ones. Going downstairs and returning to the small dining table in the kitchen, several aunts gathered around the table while eating fruits and snacks and watching the TV hanging on the wall. Working in a wealthy family has this benefit. There is no grievance in eating and drinking. This aunt complained to everyone: ¡°I don¡¯t know what kind of evil fire¡­¡± Aunt Luo asked, ¡°She has become more and more temperamental recently. Is it because of menopause?¡± ¡°How old is she?¡± This aunt said, ¡°I haven¡¯t gone through menopause yet, how could she go through menopause?!¡± Aunt Wang snickered, covering her mouth. ¡°What are you laughing at?¡± Everyone asked her. Aunt Wang beckoned and several heads came together. Aunt Wang lowered her voice and said, ¡°Well¡­ the life of husband and wife is not in harmony!¡± Everyone: ¡°¡­¡± Suddenly all eyes became hot: ¡°Speak quickly! Speak quickly!¡± Aunt Wang lives on the third floor with Zhang Shuocheng, so she must know something. Aunt Wang lowered her voice and said, ¡°I have been paying attention to it secretly a long time ago. Since her nephew was arrested by the police before, Master has not seen her much. In the past, the two of them used to close the door of their room early, but that¡¯s not the case now. Looking at her now, she just spends a lot of time guarding an empty room.¡± Liang Yingying used to be arrogant, and her temper has become increasingly irritable in recent months. She often scolded the aunts at every turn, except for Aunt Luo, none of the aunts had never been scolded by her. After hearing such a secret, everyone suddenly felt much happier. She deserves it! Zhang Yansheng revealed what Xu Lichen was about to encounter ahead of time in this life, and gave him the advice she thought was right. But in this life, the more she examines the others around her, the more she knows how many things she has done wrong in her previous life. So now, was her advice to Xu Lichen really correct? She was just a college student until she died. So, Zhang Yansheng decided to listen to Zhang Huan¡¯s opinions. The first sentence she said, ¡°There is a man, about your age, who gave birth to an illegitimate child outside¡± made Zhang Huan¡¯s eyes twitch! Zhang Huan almost thought that Zhang Yansheng was deceiving him in order to mock him! Fortunately, Zhang Yansheng said next: ¡°¡­the illegitimate child and the legitimate child are only a few months away. The legitimate child is my classmate.¡± Zhang Huan breathed a sigh of relief, but it¡¯s not that he is fine! As long as you don¡¯t talk about him, Zhang Huan listens to other people¡¯s gossip with great relish. Zhang Yansheng gave a general overview of Xu Lichen¡¯s family situation and asked, ¡°I suggested that to him, am I right?¡± Zhang Huan said, ¡°At the moment, there is nothing wrong with it. Your analysis of everyone¡¯s interests is correct. If this child is smarter, he should resolutely unite with his mother, and it is best not to let his father notice it. The best thing is to coax his father¡¯s side.¡± ¡°His mother and his father have become mortal enemies, and they almost tore each other apart. But he is his father¡¯s own son! This man, even if he is eccentric, this one here is also his own. In the end, he won¡¯t be treated too badly. You persuade this child not to tear his face with his father. There are only benefits and no disadvantages to establishing a good relationship with his father.¡± As expected, he is an expert in ¡®making one¡¯s life better¡¯. But Zhang Yansheng pondered for a while and vetoed: ¡°It can¡¯t be done.¡± To what extent did Xu Lichen make trouble with his father later? As soon as he appeared, his father couldn¡¯t wait to immediately open his arms to protect his little love and illegitimate son like an old hen who protects her little chicks, lest Xu Lichen hurt them. The more his father was like this, the madder Xu Lichen became. So later, his mother forcefully sent him out of the country. Zhang Huan was very dissatisfied and reproached, ¡°Why can¡¯t it be done?¡± A husband should be able to bend and stretch. Moreover, in Zhang Huan¡¯s cognition, no matter what his father did, no matter how scumbag or rotten he was, he is also his own father. How can you and your father have an overnight feud? ¡°His character is¡­¡± Zhang Yansheng said in a deep voice, ¡°Imagine a male version of me when I was in middle school. Well, it¡¯s almost the same. Basically, just a gender difference.¡± The male version of middle school¡­ Zhang Yansheng? The corner of Zhang Huan¡¯s eyes twitched at that time. Fortunately, she¡¯s a girl, with less destructive power! Thanks to her mother for educating her well! Fortunately, as soon as you go to high school, people will grow up to be matured and sensible! Amen! ¡­¡­ Zhang Heling escaped Liang Yingying¡¯s clutches and returned to her room. For Liang Yingying, who always wanted to take actions against her opponent to bring her down, Zhang Heling always felt that her chest was particularly suffocated. She went back to her room and threw her cellphone aside, just went to the bed and lay down for a while to feel better. However, a child can¡¯t really stay idle inside a house, so she got up after a while and turned on the computer. There is a very popular game recently that many students in her class are playing. She clicked on the game logo and entered her username and password to log in. As a result, a female warrior with a huge chest, slim waist, and slender legs, with the game ID ¡®PurpleEyes?ColdStare?BlackHairTurnedIntoWhite¡¯ went online. Zhang Heling glanced at her friends list and was surprised to find that none of her classmates were online. She took a look at the time again, oh¡­ there is a lot of homework today. Everyone should have not finished their homework at this time. Zhang Heling¡¯s good habit is to do nothing else as soon as she gets home, she must finish her homework before doing anything else. Some children will wander around first and don¡¯t start doing homework until it¡¯s dark. If Zhang Shuocheng was left unattended, then he wouldn¡¯t be able to wait to stop writing. But Zhang Heling would watch him very strictly, so he had to do his homework first when he returned home. She gave orders both to Zhang Yansheng and Aunt Wang. She asked Aunt Wang to look at Zhang Shuocheng on the third floor. If Zhang Shuocheng didn¡¯t write seriously, Aunt Wang would call her on the second floor, and Zhang Heling would rush up and teach him: ¡°If you don¡¯t write well, I will tell elder sister!¡± Zhang Shuocheng¡¯s eyelids would twitch and he would be unhappy, so he could only reluctantly do his homework first. Zhang Heling waited for a while, but did not see several of her friends coming online. She killed the monsters in the wild for a while, watched the world announcement that a certain dungeon was about to open, so she quickly teleported to its location, planning to join a wild team. The channel is full of bullet screens calling for people to join their teams. She swiped too fast and couldn¡¯t see clearly on the screens. Anyway, knowing that they are all going to enter the dungeon, the elementary school chickens don¡¯t care what their requirements are, just find a team to join into. A certain team posted: We want a girl, want a girl, just want a girl! Shemales get lost! Only girls! Zhang Heling asked to join this team, and the captain looked at the game ID ¡ª PurpleEyes?ColdStare?BlackHairTurnedIntoWhite. The captain said: ¡°It¡¯s a girl!¡± The teammates said, ¡°Idiot! It¡¯s definitely a guy pretending to be a girl!¡± The captain said, ¡°Just let it in, then ask!¡± As he said it, he accepted the application. Big-breasted royal sister-type female fighter PurpleEyes?ColdStare?BlackHairTurnedIntoWhite has entered the team. As soon as Zhang Heling entered, a male voice in the team channel was heard asking anxiously: ¡°This PurpleEyes?ColdStare?BlackHairTurnedIntoWhite, are you a male or female? Speak quickly and prove yourself! Shemale automatically gets out of here!¡± The boss with a loud voice made Zhang Heling¡¯s ears and eyes hurt, so she quickly lowered down the volume and turned on her mic: ¡°I am a girl!¡± Her voice is soft, totally a lolita. The team channel was suddenly excited! ¡°Girl! It¡¯s a real girl!¡± CH 76 Enchantress13-16 minutes 16.02.2022 There are more than 10 players in a dungeon team, Zhang Heling is the last to join the team, well, except for her, all are big men! With the real girl, a group of men rushed into the dungeon. The operation of PurpleEyes?ColdStare?BlackHairTurnedIntoWhite is completely at the level of elementary school chickens, but the guys don¡¯t care, just be a real woman. Chatting while fighting the monsters: ¡°Where is the girl from?¡± ¡°How old are you?¡± ¡°Are you a student?¡± ¡°Do you have a boyfriend?¡± Zhang Heling entered this dungeon for the first time and was not familiar, she was in a hurry at first, and didn¡¯t have time to pay attention to these people. When everyone saw that she¡¯s not good, they blocked all the monsters for her: ¡°Don¡¯t be afraid, girl, just follow us!¡± Zhang Heling¡¯s pressure dropped suddenly, she breathed a sigh of relief, and said, ¡°Thank you!¡± ¡°Wow~ girl, this voice is the best lolita voice I have ever heard!¡± The captain admired it. In the game, he often encounters some girls who are old and young, pinching their throats and pretending to be a lolita, speaking in a coaxing voice and whining, begging for equipment and skin. Today, this girl¡¯s voice sounds very natural, as if she is a real lolita. Very nice! The captain asked happily: ¡°The girl must be young, right? Your tone is so natural. How old are you?¡± Zhang Heling said, ¡°I am 10 years old.¡± ¡°Hahahahaha, this girl is so funny.¡± The captain laughed, ¡°How old are you?¡± Zhang Heling said inexplicably, ¡°Ten years old, I just said it. Didn¡¯t you hear me clearly?¡± There was silence in the team channel. Someone said, ¡°It seems¡­ to be true because that voice is really very lolita, very natural. Others asked, ¡°What grade are you now?¡± Zhang Heling followed someone else¡¯s ass to pick up his head, while replying: ¡°I¡¯m in fourth grade, Big Brother, how about you?¡± ¡°This brother is working now, little sister.¡± ¡°People at work still play games?¡± ¡°What¡¯s the matter, little sister, can¡¯t I?¡± Zhang Heling said, ¡°I thought people who go to work don¡¯t play games.¡± ¡°Hahahaha, little sister, you are so funny.¡± The office worker said. Everyone pushed forward in the dungeon while talking. The captain said: ¡°I can hear that you have a K City accent, little sister.¡± Zhang Heling said honestly: ¡°I¡¯m in K City.¡± The captain interjected: ¡°What a coincidence, we are also from K City.¡± Zhang Heling was the last to enter the team and didn¡¯t know who he meant by ¡®we¡¯, so she thought they were all together. The office worker said, ¡°It¡¯s fate, I am also from K City.¡± He coaxed Zhang Heling with a smile: ¡°Little sister, everyone is in K City, let¡¯s be friends, what¡¯s your name? We will meet another day, and I will invite you to eat at KFC, okay?¡± Zhang Heling doesn¡¯t lack that bite of KFC, but she is an honest child. When someone asks her name, she subconsciously opens her mouth and says: ¡°My name is¡­¡± ¡°Don¡¯t tell him.¡± A cold and magnetic male voice suddenly sounded in the earphones. Immediately afterwards, the voice said, ¡°Ah Wei, kick him!¡± The captain said without hesitation: ¡°Okay!¡± Then, he kicked the office worker out of the team directly. The cold voice said coldly: ¡°Kill!¡± Four people, including the captain, suddenly became violent and attacked the office worker together. After a few swishes, the blood of the office worker bottomed out and turned into a white light and returned to the city. Zhang Heling hadn¡¯t reacted yet, but the matter was already over, and there was already one person missing from the team. She was stunned: ¡°Why, what¡¯s wrong? Why did you hit and kill one of your own?¡± A wave of mobs has been cleared, and it is safe there for the time being. The voice that sounded deserted but very nice just now said, ¡°Little sister, for strangers you meet in games and online, you can¡¯t tell them your name, phone number, and home address, nor can your school or class, including family information, do you know that? You don¡¯t know if the other party is a bad person, you have to cover up all this information.¡± It sounds cold, but the content of the persuasion sounds¡­ like a very nice and gentle person! So just now, they thought that that player was a bad person and they were protecting her, right? Zhang Heling figured out the situation, and was immediately moved, and said, ¡°I got it! Thank you, uncle!¡± The voice was silent for a while, and then slowly said, ¡°Just call me brother.¡± The captain and the other two people laughed wildly. After laughing enough, the captain asked, ¡°Didn¡¯t you still call us brothers just now? Why did you change it to uncle?¡± The four of them killed the person who tried to ask her name. Zhang Heling just didn¡¯t react at the time. When that person died, she thought about what he said, ¡°Let¡¯s meet, I will invite you to eat at KFC.¡± That person is not a good person anymore. So, the four of them, including the captain, who killed that person should be good people, right? Zhang Yansheng said: ¡°Aren¡¯t you all at work? Are you all uncles at work?¡± ¡°Bah bah, who is at work? Oh! That one just now, he was not with us, and he just joined temporarily on our team.¡± The captain said, ¡°We are all still college students in our prime!¡± ¡°You are also students? That¡­ hello, Big Brother!¡± Zhang Heling said politely. This little loli is really cute. But after all, she was just a lolita. Although these people talk about lolita here and there, they are not perverts. What they really want is the girl with a gigantic breast this lolita character is playing, and not the real lolita. They were just teasing PurpleEyes?ColdStare?BlackHairTurnedIntoWhite, but no one said too much. Zhang Heling followed them all the way to fight monsters, pick up heads, gain experience, and finally got an orange outfit! She was so happy! The people who formed the temporary team were all scattered, and only Zhang Heling and the captain were left in the team. The man she called uncle whose voice was cold said: ¡°Goodbye little sister, be careful not to disclose your information to strangers in the future.¡± ¡°Okay. I know.¡± Zhang Heling said, ¡°Thank you, Big Brother.¡± The captain said, ¡°Oh, my little sister, you have to grow up soon¡­¡± The team broke up. But Zhang Heling took a look just now, and the older brother¡¯s game ID with a cold voice was ¡®ListeningToPineByTheCreek¡¯. He was the one who stopped her from leaking personal information just now, and he also asked the captain to kick him out of the team, and then took them to kill that bad person. When chatting, she heard that a few of them seemed to be together, roommates in a dormitory or something. Zhang Heling thought that he was a good person, so she clicked on his name and sent a friend request. But no reply was received. At K University¡¯s male dormitory, everyone quit the game one after another. Qian Wei leaned over to look and suddenly said, ¡°Hey, the kid wants to add you as a friend? Add, add! Hey, what are you neglecting to do?¡± Yue Song turned off the game, took off his headphones, and rubbed his neck: ¡°What am I going to do with an elementary school student?¡± ¡°To cultivate her!¡± Qian Wei said shamelessly, ¡°She will grow up after a few years of raising!¡± Yue Song raised his leg and kicked him: ¡°Get lost!¡± The boys were laughing, and the speaker on the door suddenly sounded: ¡°Yue Song 417, Yue Song in Room 417, someone is looking for you.¡± Yue Song replied: ¡°I got it, thank you auntie.¡± ¡°Okay, hurry up.¡± The aunt said, ¡°In this cold weather, don¡¯t let the beautiful young lady wait.¡± ¡°Well yoh!¡± The roommates winked at him, ¡°Beautiful young lady! Hurry up, hurry up!¡± Yue Song smiled helplessly, picked up his coat and went out. ¡°Hey, some people are rich, some are pitiful, so unfair!¡± One of the roommates sighed, ¡°Lao Yue always has girls chasing after him, and we can¡¯t catch up with them. Why is it always like this? Why?¡± Qian Wei, the captain of the team they formed when they played the online game just now, grabbed a mirror and confronted him in front of his face without saying a word: ¡°Open your eyes and see, the answer is in it.¡± Roommate: ¡°¡­f*ck!¡± Yue Song went downstairs. Visitors can only wait on the piece of land outside the window of the dormitory office on the first floor. Although it is in the building, the door of the building is kept open for the convenience of entering and exiting. It¡¯s the cold season now, and the thick cotton curtains can¡¯t stop the north wind. The aunt in the dormitory closed the small window and turned on the heater in the room. Visitors could only freeze outside. That¡¯s why the aunt told him to hurry up. Yue Song did not delay, and quickly came to the first floor. The aunt really didn¡¯t lie, and the one looking for him was really a beautiful girl. ¡°Senior Brother.¡± She smiled gruffly. He couldn¡¯t see that she was frozen. After all, she¡¯s wearing a down jacket that costs tens of thousands of yuan. Yue Song asked politely: ¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡± On such a cold day, he was only wearing a short coat, with deep eyebrows and big and clear eyes. The other girls who were waiting for others couldn¡¯t help but peek at him. The beautiful girl generously gave him the things in her hand: ¡°I¡¯m just sending you these materials, and hand these to Qian Wei as well, who shares the dormitory with you, so I won¡¯t be bothered.¡± Yue Song nodded: ¡°Okay.¡± He didn¡¯t say more, the girl kept a decent smile and said, ¡°Then I will go home.¡± Yue Song finally asked, ¡°I remember that you¡¯re a day school student, right?¡± The girl said happily: ¡°Yes.¡± Yue Song asked, ¡°Why are you going back so late?¡± ¡°It¡¯s nothing, just keep doing these things.¡± The girl said modestly, ¡°I don¡¯t like procrastination, I like to do things efficiently.¡± Yue Song only smiled and nodded, and said nothing more. When he returned to the dormitory, before the door was closed, someone poked his head from the bed: ¡°Who is it?¡± Qian Wei came over, winked at him and asked, ¡°Is it Zhao Xiaoyue or Wang Xinxin? Did she give you cold medicine or love biscuits?¡± ¡°Neither. She just came to deliver these materials, and one copy is yours.¡± Yue Song handed the materials to Qian Wei and took off his coat. Qian Wei took the materials and asked, ¡°Who is it? Speak quickly!¡± Yue Song hung up his coat: ¡°Zhang Qi.¡± Qian Wei suddenly felt that his face was not a face, and his nose was not a nose, he ¡°hmp¡± and said: ¡°Ahh her.¡± He opened the ¡®materials¡¯, was speechless for a moment, and said, ¡°What kind of emergency materials should she send at this hour, this is it? We¡¯ll have a meeting with the public relations department tomorrow!¡± The roommate on the bed sneered: ¡°Then, there is no excuse to see Yue Song alone!¡± Another roommate said, ¡°Zhang Qi is a beautiful girl anyway, why do you always target these people?¡± Qian Wei rolled his eyes: ¡°You really look up to me. A lady who drives a million-yuan worth sports car, how dare I target her?¡± The roommate on the bed said, ¡°Do you still have to ask about it? It must be to make Senior Sister Jiang feel comfortable. Senior Sister Jiang is the goddess of Qian Wei!¡± Qian Wei spat at him: ¡°Don¡¯t talk nonsense, Senior Sister Jiang has a boyfriend.¡± He said angrily again: ¡°What¡¯s wrong with Senior Sister Jiang¡¯s down jacket, which is an imitation? It was also bought for more than a thousand yuan in real money! Can¡¯t she just say it in private? Does she have to say that in front of everyone, deliberately putting Senior Sister Jiang on the spot? It was intentional!¡± Yue Song hung up his coat and listened to them one by one, and he couldn¡¯t help but think of what happened between Zhang Qi and Senior Sister Jiang before. As the weather turned colder, everyone changed from thin down jackets to thick ones. Senior Sister Jiang wore something of the same brand as Zhang Qi. At least everyone thought they were of the same brand, and Senior Sister Jiang herself thought so too. The girls in the student union asked one after another where they bought it, which was so beautiful. Senior Sister Jiang didn¡¯t hide the information and shared it with them: ¡°It¡¯s in the foreign trade shop on Tian Wai Tian¡¯s side.¡± The girls discussed how to find foreign trade stores to buy the same down jacket. This is the consumption level of most college girls. As they were still enthusiastic, the new freshman Zhang Qi said in surprise: ¡°No, no one really believes that you can buy genuine authentic goods from the foreign trade stores, right? The price of authentic goods is ten times. How can you buy it for just a thousand yuan?¡± Later, everyone learned that Zhang Qi didn¡¯t live in school, and that she went to day school. She also drives a million-yuan worth sports car to and from school. The next day, Senior Sister Jiang didn¡¯t wear the thousand-yuan imitation of down jacket, so she temporarily took out the thin down jacket and put it on. After wearing it for a day, she started to have a runny nose in the afternoon. CH 77 Enchantress11-14 minutes 17.02.2022 Except for Zhang Zhiyuan being beaten, Zhang Yansheng never took the initiative to find Xu Lichen. They used to see each other often in school before, but in the last two days Zhang Yansheng has paid attention, she did not see Xu Lichen that much. She saw him twice only when doing exercises. At other times, he didn¡¯t seem to appear outside the classroom as often as before. Zhang Yansheng did not look for him again. After getting the affirmation from Zhang Huan, she felt more at ease. Everyone is an independent individual, even the husband and wife would have time to be separated from each other, let alone just friends from the previous life. She can only do so much for his affection and help. Because of her scheduled make-up lessons with the two teachers, she has no time at noon and after school, so she is busy from morning until night in school. Seeing Xu Lichen again, it¡¯s already Saturday afternoon. When the phone rang, Zhang Yansheng answered: ¡°Hello?¡± Xu Lichen¡¯s voice sounded: ¡°I am outside the gate of your house.¡± Xu Lichen pursed his lips, thinking about what tone he should use to talk, ¡°Can you come out and meet me?¡± Zhang Yansheng had already said, ¡°Okay, just wait there.¡± She ended the call and changed her clothes, grabbed a coat and went out. She ran into Zhang Heling while walking down the stairs: ¡°Sister, are you going out?¡± ¡°A classmate came over to talk to me about something.¡± Things have gone smoothly recently, and Zhang Yansheng is in a more relaxed mood, pressing her head, ¡°I¡¯ll be back in a while.¡± It was quite cold outside, Zhang Yansheng wrapped her coat tightly, passed through the courtyard upfront, and opened the small door. There was a motorcycle, that Zhang Yansheng was familiar with, which was parked outside. Speaking of it, Xu Lichen had led her to get started with riding a motorcycle. But when she turned 18 and got a driver¡¯s license, she abandoned the motorcycle. The motorcycle was propped on the ground, and Xu Lichen leaned against it, straightening one leg and bending the other. He bit the cigarette in his mouth and moved his lips slightly, revealing a white breath of smoke. With his angular face and gloomy eyes, he is a bit stronger than many small fresh meat idols on TV, but Zhang Yansheng thought he was so stupid. She walked over and asked, ¡°You¡¯re driving a motorcycle on such a cold day, is your brain damaged?¡± Xu Lichen froze and forcibly defended himself: ¡°I didn¡¯t want my family to know where I¡¯m going, so I didn¡¯t call the driver¡­¡± It¡¯s as if his father and mother care more about his whereabouts. In fact, he often couldn¡¯t see them for several days and didn¡¯t know what they were doing or where they were, and vice versa, unless the school calls his parents to ask them, they often don¡¯t know where he is or what he is doing. ¡°Then, why didn¡¯t you call for a car?¡± Zhang Yansheng asked, ¡°Don¡¯t tell me you don¡¯t even have the app to call a car? Are you an old man who doesn¡¯t know how to use a cellphone?¡± Zhang Yansheng snorted. Can she still not know him? Just pay attention to the tone and force the style! Narcissist! Xu Lichen couldn¡¯t argue. He is the only child in the family. He has a dedicated driver and car that is exclusively for him only. He can also ride a motorcycle by himself, and he has no need for the behavior of calling a car. He felt like he is a mentally retarded person in Zhang Yansheng¡¯s eyes, which is disgusting! Xu Lichen was so angry that he pulled out a cigarette, but found that he¡¯s already biting one on his mouth. He raised his eyes and handed it to Zhang Yansheng: ¡°Would you like a cigarette?¡± Then he sneered: ¡°Forget it, how could a good girl like you smoke?¡± He just teased Zhang Yansheng with a gesture, and when he said that, he had to withdraw his hand. Zhang Yansheng took the cigarette, put it in her hand, and patted the other hand. The cigarette spun and bounced, and she opened her mouth and bit it. Steadily! ¡°What did I just see?!¡± Xu Lichen looked sideways, ¡°You¡¯re a regular smoker!¡± He knows this little trick. This is not something you can do with smoking, you have to practice, practice repeatedly, and practice for a long time, and you have to be dexterous enough to do it. He has a buddy who has been training for two years, but still can¡¯t bite the cigarette at the end. Xu Lichen wanted to light Zhang Yansheng a cigarette, but Zhang Yansheng held the cigarette and waved out the lighter. ¡°How many times do you want me to say it? Don¡¯t do this in front of me.¡± she said. Xu Lichen really didn¡¯t understand: ¡°Which one?¡± ¡°Smoking, drinking, riding a motorcycle, picking up girls, pretending to be cool¡­¡± Zhang Yansheng counted it up, ¡°Do you think you are unique and mature? Let me tell you, people who are truly mature can only laugh when they see it.¡± Xu Lichen found that he had become accustomed to Zhang Yansheng¡¯s poisonous tongue. She is always very aggressive when facing him, and she is not polite at all, but the wonderful thing is that Xu Lichen can always hear an indescribable familiarity and intimacy from it. He retorted: ¡°Who are you to say this, as if you are not at the same age as me? Tell me, how can you be really mature?¡± Zhang Yansheng actually thought about this question seriously. ¡°Probably like this cigarette.¡± She said, raising the cigarette in her hand. ¡°I can.¡± She pressed the cigarette into a ball on the seat of the motorcycle, ¡°But I don¡¯t do it.¡± Xu Lichen was a little surprised by these words. He was startled and savored the meaning. Zhang Yansheng raised her hand to snatch the cigarette from his mouth and pressed it on the seat of the motorcycle. A hole was burnt in the leather seat by the burning cigarette. Xu Lichen was neither distressed nor angry, and raised his eyebrows: ¡°Oh! So mature!¡± Zhang Yansheng used a cigarette butt to burn her arm when she was unhappy in her previous life. When Xu Lichen found this out later, he didn¡¯t let her burn herself again. He stretched out his arm to her: ¡°Burn me.¡± Zhang Yansheng burnt him. Xu Lichen accepted it without humming. But it was only that one burn. Later, when Zhang Yansheng was unhappy, she would burn Xu Lichen¡¯s clothes, Xu Lichen¡¯s school bag, and Xu Lichen¡¯s motorcycle seat leather. Wang Qian stomped her feet: ¡°Zhang Yansheng, don¡¯t be impulsive!¡± She stomped her feet and said to Xu Lichen: ¡°Talk to her!¡± But Xu Lichen bit his cigarette and just looked at Zhang Yansheng with a smile. Zhang Yansheng could do whatever she wants and go crazy whatever she wants. He would accompany her to the ends of the earth! Zhang Yansheng looked at Xu Lichen¡¯s teasing expression and sentimental face now. That is not companionship, nor mutual warmth. It¡¯s obviously two silly kids pulling each other and sinking together. Zhang Yansheng flicked the smoke to the ground: ¡°I have something to say.¡± Xu Lichen, who was still talking to her just now, didn¡¯t say a word. Zhang Yansheng¡¯s statement became clear: ¡°Have you talked to your mother?¡± Xu Lichen continued without saying a word. The way he rubbed his fingers seemed to want to smoke to ease his emotions. Zhang Yansheng kicked him: ¡°What did your mother say?¡± Xu Lichen finally raised his eyes: ¡°My mother knew it a long time ago.¡± Zhang Yansheng sighed: ¡°Your mother is very powerful.¡± Silently transferring assets is followed by thunderbolt means. Although it was not successful, Zhang Yansheng really admired Xu Lichen¡¯s mother for her cruel and unpretentious style. Xu Lichen looked down for a long while before saying: ¡°She cried.¡± ¡°I grew up this old and saw my mother cry for the first time. I have never seen her like that before.¡± There was confusion in this stupid young man¡¯s voice, ¡°I really didn¡¯t expect that someone as fierce as her would cry.¡± ¡°Nonsense.¡± Zhang Yansheng said, ¡°Don¡¯t you cry when you feel uncomfortable? What did your mother say?¡± ¡°She told me not to alarm my dad.¡± Xu Lichen said this with a bit of bitterness. Zhang Yansheng nodded: ¡°So your mother¡­ is she prepared?¡± Xu Lichen said with an ¡°hmm¡±: ¡°Their marriage is bound to end. My mother can¡¯t continue in that relationship. It¡¯s mainly about their properties¡­¡± Zhang Yansheng said without hesitation: ¡°Don¡¯t be soft-hearted, don¡¯t be confused! You must stand with your mother! You and your mother have the same interests!¡± As she said that, she put her hands in her pockets. Usually there is a car to pick her up, and there is a heater in the school. She always wears a thin coat. She also goes to the playground to do some exercise when she leaves the school building, and she will no longer feel cold. After standing outdoors for a long time, the chill came up to her. She should have come out in a thick coat, she thought. Just as Xu Lichen wanted to say something, he suddenly heard the creak of the small door, and a voice sounded: ¡°Sister?¡± The two people looked at the door at the same time. Zhang Heling poked out her small head, and when she saw Zhang Yansheng really outside the gate, she popped out happily: ¡°Great, you are here!¡± She was holding a long coat with her thin arms: ¡°I think you are wearing a thin one, so I brought you a thick one.¡± It¡¯s exactly what Zhang Yansheng needs! She took it and put it on, and heard Zhang Heling explain: ¡°I didn¡¯t enter your room, I asked Aunt Luo to help me get it.¡± Only Aunt Luo in the whole family was allowed to enter and exit her room freely by Zhang Yansheng. Zhang Yansheng paused and patted Zhang Heling¡¯s head: ¡°I know.¡± Then she thought to herself, if Zhang Huan dares to love Zhang Shuocheng more than Zhang Heling in the future, she will beat him! She said, ¡°Go back, I still have something to talk about with my classmate.¡± Zhang Heling agreed obediently, and then said to Xu Lichen: ¡°Hello, Big Brother. Goodbye, Big Brother!¡± Xu Lichen¡¯s expression was slightly strange, and he replied, ¡°Goodbye.¡± Zhang Heling turned around and ran back ¡ª she was also wearing thin clothes and felt that it was so cold outside. Zhang Yansheng turned her head back, only to find that Xu Lichen was still staring at the small door. She shouted: ¡°Hey!¡± Xu Lichen glanced at her, but hesitated to say something. Zhang Yansheng said, ¡°If you have a fart, just let it go.¡± Xu Lichen said, ¡°That¡¯s your sister?¡± ¡°Yes.¡± ¡°Just¡­ the one who does not have the same mother as you?¡± When he asked this, Zhang Yansheng sneered: ¡°Your driver is capable enough to find out everything?¡± ¡°How can he have that ability?¡± Xu Lichen said disgustedly, ¡°Your driver¡¯s mouth is also very tight, and our driver only asked about the name of your father¡¯s company.¡± He said: ¡°However, it is easy to check if you know the company name. I asked my dad¡¯s secretary to inquire about it. They are quite capable and well-informed.¡± Knowing the surname and the company name, Zhang Yansheng rides in a car that¡¯s worth several million, you¡¯ll know that she is a daughter of the big boss at a glance. The secretaries are well-connected, and they hear a basket of gossip after making a round of phone calls. So, when Zhang Yansheng deceived Xu Lichen to say that she had heard the gossip about their family, Xu Lichen didn¡¯t doubt it at all, because their parents are actually regarded as people in a circle. ¡°You can still find our address, your dad¡¯s secretary is really awesome, huh?¡± Zhang Yansheng asked. She didn¡¯t believe it very much. These secretaries are all particularly sophisticated and smooth people. It¡¯s okay for Xu Lichen to inquire about news and gossip. But if he inquired about the address, these secretaries will not give it to him even if they can find it, for fear that they will be held responsible in case of an accident. All are human beings, no one is stupid. CH 78 Sure enough, Xu Lichen put the tip of his tongue on his cheeks, and avoided her eyes. Zhang Yansheng stared at him coldly. He couldn¡¯t stand it and admitted: ¡°The class address book, the teachers all kept them in their drawers, and they are not locked¡­¡± Zhang Yansheng stopped asking. It was either himself or some student, a cleaning aunt or even some teacher who would do it for him. After all, you can find someone who is willing to collect money. ¡°Are you a pervert? You have to check the address of the person for you to be satisfied?¡± If Zhang Yansheng had not consciously stop swearing after hearing Zhang Zhiyuan¡¯s words, she would already be foul-mouthed now. Xu Lichen defended himself and said, ¡°That¡¯s just me pursuing you with all my heart at the right time.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t be moved by yourself!¡± Zhang Yansheng bawled at him, ¡°What pursuing are you talking about? It¡¯s definitely harassment!¡± Xu Lichen pointed to the sky and swore: ¡°I only checked your address! I¡¯ve never done it before!¡± Zhang Yansheng sneered: ¡°So what? Should I be grateful to you then?¡± Xu Lichen felt that he couldn¡¯t continue, so he forcibly changed the subject: ¡°You and your sister get along well? I heard that your younger brother and sister are all in private¡­¡± ¡°You don¡¯t need to worry about that!¡± Zhang Yansheng said, ¡°Just take care of your own business! What are you going to do with your mother? When will you have a showdown with your dad?¡± Xu Lichen said: ¡°My mother said she was not ready yet, so she told me not to alarm my dad.¡± Zhang Yansheng sneered: ¡°If you are not stupid, then just listen to your mother.¡± Xu Lichen said angrily: ¡°Who the hell is stupid? I promised my mother, so I will pretend not to know anything!¡± ¡°That¡¯s fine. There will be opportunities for you to make trouble with them in the future. When the time comes, your mother will definitely make more trouble than you, just follow your mother¡¯s steps, don¡¯t drag her down and do anything bad to her.¡± Zhang Heling¡¯s appearance just now reminded Zhang Yansheng: ¡°I talked to my dad a few days ago about your family¡¯s affairs¡­¡± She told Xu Lichen of Zhang Huan¡¯s suggestion. After finishing speaking, she felt dull again and waved her hand: ¡°Forget it, forget it, just pretend that I didn¡¯t say it. I don¡¯t want to make it difficult for you.¡± Unexpectedly, Xu Lichen didn¡¯t even veto it with an angry expression, but was silent. Zhang Yansheng was surprised. Xu Lichen said after a long time: ¡°If my dad and my mom went to fight each other, my mom said the same thing. I¡­ have promised her to keep a good relationship with my dad, even if they tear their faces.¡± Zhang Yansheng hadn¡¯t spoken for a long time, and couldn¡¯t believe that this was something Xu Lichen could do. ¡°You¡­ can do it?¡± She asked hesitantly. Xu Lichen became embarrassed: ¡°Zhang Yansheng! In your heart, am I just a fool who can¡¯t do anything?¡± Basically, it is the truth. Zhang Yansheng asked rhetorically: ¡°What have you done anyway?¡± Xu Lichen choked. He recalled the past and found that¡­ he had grown so big and hearing the word ¡®done¡¯, it turns out to be nothing. For the first time, he discovered that he had grown up so big that it could be said that he had never done anything serious. He had never thought about this before, and suddenly realizing that, he felt strangely disturbed in his heart. Especially now, there is a comparison between him and his school tyrant brother. ¡°Zhang Yansheng, don¡¯t look down on me so much!¡± Xu Lichen became angry. ¡°If I say that I can do it, then I can do it!¡± Zhang Yansheng¡¯s eyes were full of suspicion. Because in her previous life, Xu Lichen went crazy as soon as he encountered his father and illegitimate son. Xu Lichen took a deep breath, suppressing the anger in his heart. ¡°I have to do it even if I can¡¯t do it! I promised my mother! My mother is all alone!¡± He stretched out a finger and gestured, then opened his palms and gestured again, ¡°One person to deal with so many people like my dad! If I don¡¯t help her, then who will? No one can help her anyway!¡± No, your mother is awesome! Zhang Yansheng knew that Xu Lichen had been fooled by his mother. But Xu Lichen, who was fooled, could control his emotions, go crazy without mentioning his father, and speak so calmly¡­ as if he had grown up. Zhang Yansheng had a warm feeling in the cold wind of winter. She pondered for a while and said, ¡°Actually, your parents are like this now, you can¡¯t help much, it¡¯s okay as long as you just don¡¯t mess around. I don¡¯t think your mother expects you to really help her deal with your dad. She would definitely prefer you to go to school and study well. Don¡¯t be full of ambition, we should go to school and study. Don¡¯t smoke and drink all day long, and think about having lung cancer for a lifetime. The final exam is coming soon. Can you still maintain your 100th rank from the bottom?¡± As long as Xu Lichen can maintain his ranking at the end of the semester, he can leave the Class 8 next semester and go to the ordinary class. Even in ordinary classes, the learning atmosphere is a hundred times stronger than that of Class 8. The environment can change people. Just like Zhang Yansheng, a wealthy girl born at the finish line of others, who didn¡¯t dare to relax and work hard in the high-pressure atmosphere of the class, what would Xu Lichen look like if he left the environment of the Class 8? Zhang Yansheng couldn¡¯t wait to fast forward the time, and wanted to see it now. Zhang Yansheng¡¯s gaze was so gentle that Xu Lichen was covered in goosebumps! Xu Lichen found that he still preferred Zhang Yansheng to scold him, beat him, ridicule him, and mock him. If she¡¯s too gentle, he can¡¯t stand it! ¡°You¡¯re looking down on me again!¡± He cleared his throat and said uncomfortably, ¡°You just wait, I will definitely get rid of the bottom 100th rank in the final exam!¡± ¡°Okay.¡± Zhang Yansheng said cheerfully, ¡°Even if you can¡¯t be cultivated like your brother, at least stop making that crap out of you.¡± In the previous life, even Wang Qian was better than these two fools. At least she was able to graduate from Yi High School smoothly. Unlike the two of them, she was held by her neck and finally expelled from school. Two invalid numbers. Zhang Yansheng began to speak venomously again, Xu Lichen immediately felt uncomfortable all over and cursed: ¡°Whose brother is that sh*t? I¡¯m an only child!¡± Zhang Yansheng pursed her lips and smiled. Xu Lichen is not a good talker either. He glanced at her obliquely and said, ¡°Speaking of this, do you really get along well with your sister?¡± ¡°Otherwise?¡± Zhang Yansheng asked rhetorically, ¡°You saw her just now. With such a child, what do you want me to do with her? Do you want me to beat her and abuse her, or disfigure her by pouring sulfuric acid on her face? You choose, if you dare to choose, then I will do it.¡± Xu Lichen really couldn¡¯t choose. The little girl is not as tall as his shoulders. Her hair was jet black and her eyes were bright, her face was white and tender, and her arms and legs were thin. She was afraid that her sister would freeze, so she ran out holding a large pile of clothes upside down. She was well-behaved and polite, and she opened her mouth to know that he was called ¡°big brother¡±. If this is his little sister¡­¡­ Whoever dares to touch a strand of this sister¡¯s hair, he will kill him (neng)! Zhang Yansheng let out a long white breath. ¡°Then what should I do? Can you blame her for giving birth to the wrong fetus?¡± She finally couldn¡¯t help swearing, ¡°These stupid parents don¡¯t need to hold a certificate to take the job. When did they care if their children were willing to be born in their home?¡± Xu Lichen felt deeply concerned about it and said angrily: ¡°You have to be at least 18 years old to be eligible for a driver¡¯s license to drive a car. When it comes to such a big matter as parents, they don¡¯t even have to take an assessment and just go to work, right? Unreasonable!¡± ¡°Or else what? If you really want to take the job, at least half of the people are not qualified to have children and become parents. Will the country still be alive?¡± Zhang Yansheng stomped her feet, ¡°Is there anything else? I¡¯m going in now, it¡¯s freezing cold.¡± Her shoes are also worn thin. She is usually used to it. There is a heater in the school, and it will burn her feet by wearing shoes that are too thick. The eviction order was given, and Xu Lichen could only say, ¡°Okay.¡± Putting on his helmet and riding in the motorcycle, Zhang Yansheng stopped him again. ¡°Brothers and sisters, this kind of thing depends on fate and people.¡± She said, ¡°Don¡¯t look at me and my sister so that you and your younger brother could have the same relationship. Remember, he is a psychopath raised by a psychopath. It¡¯s definitely not a good cake!¡± Xu Lichen said angrily: ¡°Who wants to respect that kind of brother! You¡¯re actually worried about me? I am also worried that you are a saint!¡± ¡°A saint to my younger sister.¡± Zhang Yansheng sneered. ¡°When I beat you to the ground, why didn¡¯t you think that my holy light was shining?¡± Do not curse people without revealing shortcomings, and hit people without slapping their faces. Exposing history is too much! But Zhang Yansheng is still like this, it looks the best when she¡¯s cold and horizontal! ¡°You are still saving the suffering!¡± Xu Lichen bucked his mask. Zhang Yansheng said, ¡°Remember, don¡¯t talk to me if you¡¯re still ranked within the bottom 100. Also, no matter if it¡¯s inside or outside the school, don¡¯t bother me.¡± Xu Lichen was going to die of anger, and said bitterly, ¡°You wait!¡± The motorcycle roared and went away. Zhang Yansheng wrapped her coat tightly and trotted home. As soon as she entered the house, Zhang Shuocheng saw her, and he yelled at her: ¡°Sister! Let¡¯s have dinner!¡± He turned his head and yelled inside: ¡°Knock it off, she¡¯s back.¡± Zhang Heling ran out: ¡°You¡¯re back, I just wanted to call you for dinner.¡± One, two, three. Since Zhang Yansheng, the Zhang family has had three invalid numbers in the previous life. Given the opportunity for them to choose, they may not be willing to be born into this home. Well, Zhang Shuocheng may not necessarily¡­ Zhang Yansheng glanced at the little Zhang Shuocheng. She doesn¡¯t have high expectations for him in this life, just for him to not commit crimes. Zhang Yansheng clawed her hand on top of Zhang Shuocheng¡¯s head: ¡°Let¡¯s go, let¡¯s eat.¡± Before going to bed on Saturday night, Zhang Heling played games for a while. When she was about to go offline and go to bed, she suddenly saw the world announcement: ¡°Congratulations ListeningToPineByTheCreek for opening the Orange Martial Arts!¡± Huh, ListeningToPineByTheCreek? Isn¡¯t that Big Brother? Zhang Heling remembers that she sent a friend request to him before, but it seems that she has not received an approval response. How do elementary students understand the social rule of adults that ¡®no reply is a kind of reply and failure to accept is a kind of rejection¡¯. She did not hesitate to click on the add friend button again, then logged off from the game, and went to sleep. At K University male student dormitory. Yue Song clicked on the friend request prompt, then suddenly paused, and read the name that made him sore: ¡°PurpleEyes?ColdStare?BlackHairTurnedIntoWhite?¡± Qian Wei was leaning with one foot on the computer desk, crunching biscuits while typing. Upon hearing this name, he spurted out a mouthful of biscuit crumbs! ¡°Why is this name so¡­ familiar?¡± He kicked the table with his foot, and even slid a chair next to Yue Song to take a look, excited, ¡°Yo! Isn¡¯t this the little girl last time?¡± He took another look and became even more excited: ¡°Wow, she sent an add friend request again? Lao Yue, you are awesome, from elementary school girls to college girls, you¡¯re taking them all!¡± Yue Song shook his head speechlessly, too lazy to pay attention to him, sliding the mouse to click on ¡®Ignore¡¯ button. Qian Wei suddenly stretched out his paw holding down his hand: ¡°Don¡¯t! Do not hurt the little girl¡¯s heart! Which position is missing from your friends list?¡± As he said that, he worked hard under his hands. Then, clicked the mouse on ¡®Accept¡¯ button. CH 79 Enchantress11-14 minutes 19.02.2022 Final exam is in late January. Without the burden of checking the homework, the teachers checked the papers quickly. This time, the results came out faster than the usual monthly exams. After the analysis of the test papers was finished, the new ranking came out. After this semester, Zhang Zhiyuan has fully adapted to and mastered the learning rhythm of high school. He climbed up the rankings again and again, and finally climbed to second place in the Class 2 at the end of the semester. In this exam, the first and second place scores surpassed the last few people in the first class! After everyone applauded, the teacher announced directly: ¡°Chang Ran, Zhang Zhiyuan, you two pack up and go over there.¡± The teacher encouraged them: ¡°Go to the first class and continue to work hard! If you fall back into my hands again in the future, just wait for me to train you hard!¡± The classmates laughed, and their envy was palpable. After thanking the teacher, the two students walked out. Zhang Zhiyuan let the girl walk in front of him very gentlemanly. He was in a calm mood. Because this result was not an unexpected surprise that fell from the sky, it was a solid step by step for him. At this step, he already knows exactly where he is and where to take the next step. So, although he was happy, there were no surprises, and his heart was calm. But when he was about to step out of the classroom, he couldn¡¯t help but glance back. The girl he wanted to see was also looking at him. Zhang Yansheng quietly gave him a thumbs up. Zhang Yansheng knew that Zhang Zhiyuan would not return to Class 2 for the next two and a half years after he left. He will fight steadily until he takes off the crown of ¡®champion¡¯ and goes to the Q University of his dreams. Go ahead. Zhang Yansheng raised her head and smiled. Zhang Zhiyuan also smiled slightly and walked out of Class 2. People from several classes can be seen coming out in the corridor. Obviously, all classes are making adjustments, waiting for these people to go to the new class to arrange the next things. The expressions of these students are different, because some people have entered a good class from a bad class, while others have fallen from a good class to a bad class. When Zhang Zhiyuan saw Xu Lichen, who was carrying a schoolbag like him, in the corridor, he was stunned. Because Xu Lichen is from Class 8. A few people in Class 8 can pass the exam. Because even people in ordinary classes basically don¡¯t get worse grades than Class 8. This guy¡­ his face is so ugly, he can¡¯t be expelled from school, right? Xu Lichen is terribly upset now! There is a sense of stubbornness in his bones, and Zhang Yansheng knows his character well, so she uses a radical approach to him. Sure enough, he really liked this set up. In the last monthly exam, he got the 100th place from the bottom. After meeting with Zhang Yansheng alone at Zhang Yansheng¡¯s house last time, Xu Lichen sighed and wanted Zhang Yansheng to look at him differently, and he really reviewed the lessons carefully during the last few days. Xu Lichen is actually a very smart person, otherwise he would not have rushed to the bottom 100 positions with one effort. He just doesn¡¯t usually work hard. As long as he works hard, he will definitely be able to rush up. He himself thinks so. However, Xu Lichen overlooked one thing ¡ª others will work hard too! In the last monthly exam, Xu Lichen, who had been punished in Class 8, actually surpassed many other students in ordinary classes. These class teachers used Xu Lichen to stimulate them in their own classes. Xu Lichen suffocated his breath to make Zhang Yansheng look up to him, and tried hard to review at home, thinking that he would be able to make it to the bottom 100 if he tried this hard. Xu Lichen held his breath and wanted Zhang Yansheng to look up to him. He worked hard to review at home, thinking that if he tried so hard, he would definitely be able to break out of the bottom 100. He didn¡¯t know that these students in other classes who were surpassed by him were also furious one by one, and they spent the last month studying with their lives! Xu Lichen never expected that after working so hard, as soon as the final ranking came out, he¡­ actually fell down to the 72nd place! He was stunned on the spot! Until the teacher smiled and praised him and asked him to pack up and go to Class 5, he was still in a daze when he walked in the hallway with his school bag on his back. He can¡¯t figure it out if he wants to break his head. How can the harder he works, the more he regresses in the rankings? This makes no sense! When he stepped into the new class, he became energetic again ¡ª he has never been in the same place with these ¡®good students¡¯. These good students may not be pleasing to him, and maybe they will join forces to exclude him. He, Xu Lichen, is not easy to be bullied by others. When Xu Lichen walked into the classroom, he had already pulled up his cool and domineering aura, ready to meet the hostility from these good students at any time. Unexpectedly, the new class teacher asked, ¡°You are Xu Lichen who was transferred from Class 8, right?¡± He raised his head: ¡°Yes!¡± Before the sneer on his face could be revealed, the head teacher had already stretched out her arms at him and said to the students in the class: ¡°Students, everyone, let¡¯s welcome Xu Lichen!¡± The unprecedented applause scared Xu Lichen to take a step back, his school bag was against the blackboard! What the hell¡­ what the hell is going on??? Why does everyone have curious and enthusiastic gazes in their eyes, as if they really welcome him? Xu Lichen didn¡¯t know that just before he came over, the head teacher had just used him to give the classmates in the class an impassioned infusion of chicken soup. ¡°For as long as you work hard, you will reap!¡± ¡°Even if it is a student of Class 8, if you work hard, you can move forward!¡± ¡°It¡¯s not anything else that determines where you can go and where you are, it¡¯s your efforts and yourself!¡± ¡°Only hard work will not disappoint you!¡± Immediately afterwards, the ¡®hardworking¡¯ Classmate Xu came. The classmates who had just finished drinking the chicken soup looked at him with the eyes of the big chicken drumsticks and gave him a warm welcome. Xu Lichen was still dumbfounded until he sat down. The teacher also took a minute to introduce him to the classmates around him. On the left is the class leader, on the right is the study committee, behind is the disciplinary committee, and in front¡­ is the first place in the final exam. He could have gotten to the upper class with another two points. In this way, Xu Lichen integrated into the new class group surrounded by ¡®good students¡¯ on the front and back. He doesn¡¯t know why, but there is always a feeling of trance¡­ Zhang Yansheng¡¯s ranking has improved a lot, and she is considered to be in the medium-level rank in Class 2. This is mainly because physics and mathematics, which had been giving her lower scores in the past, gave her higher scores this time. The money was really not wasted, and the time and energy were not wasted as well. Seeing this ranking, Zhang Yansheng knew that she was stable in the second class at least for now, and she breathed a sigh of relief. When her business was settled, she looked for Xu Lichen in the ranking board again, looking up from the bottom 100 position¡­ but she didn¡¯t find his name. Zhang Yansheng: ¡°¡­¡± Do I still need to look up to him? Zhang Yansheng moved her gaze down and finally found Xu Lichen in a certain position. After a little conversion, the ranking was down to more than seventy, and his ranking in the monthly test had regressed. But Zhang Yansheng was not as confused as Xu Lichen. She saw that his grades in various subjects were quite stable, and he even made progress compared to the previous monthly exam results. After thinking about it for a while, she understood why his ranking had fallen. She knows how her classmates pierced each other at the end of the semester. She even guessed that Xu Lichen must not know this ¡ª he always felt that he had worked hard enough, and he didn¡¯t know that someone worked harder than him. But it doesn¡¯t matter, this ranking is enough for him to be promoted. Zhang Yansheng originally wanted to ask which class Xu Lichen went to, but when he finally saw him after school, Xu Lichen turned his head and walked away as soon as he saw her! Zhang Yansheng: ¡°¡­¡± Okay. The school spent a day or two dealing with various class chores, and then it was the winter vacation. On the last day, Zhang Heling brought her certificate home and gave it to Zhang Huan, shouted ¡°Dad¡±, and then threw the ¡°Learning Star¡± certificate in front of his face! The little girl¡¯s eyes were smiling and shining, full of expectation. Zhang Huan was very enthusiastic and said, ¡°Hehe is really amazing. Have you received an award again? Tell Dad, how well did you do on the exam this time?¡± Zhang Heling raised her small chest: ¡°First place!¡± ¡°Wow~¡± Zhang Huan clapped his hands. ¡°Amazing!¡± Zhang Heling raised her head: ¡°Dad!¡± Zhang Huan: ¡°Hey!¡± Zhang Heling looked at him expectantly with her bright black eyes. Zhang Huan: ¡°?¡± He has already praised her! Zhang Huan then asked, ¡°Do you want something? Tell Dad.¡± Zhang Heling shook her head like a rattle: ¡°No.¡± She continued to look at him expectantly. Zhang Huan: ¡°???¡± Zhang Yansheng couldn¡¯t stand it anymore, so she coughed loudly. Zhang Huan looked at her. Zhang Yansheng winked at him. Zhang Huan didn¡¯t understand. Zhang Yansheng pressed his chest for a breath, and pointed her chin in a certain direction. Zhang Huan turned his head and glanced, there was nothing. Turning his head to look at Zhang Yansheng again, his eyes were naive and ignorant. Zhang Yansheng: ¡°¡­¡± Zhang Yansheng took a deep breath, winking vigorously at his hand with her eyes. Zhang Huan looked at the award certificate in his hand. Zhang Yansheng pointed her chin over there again. Zhang Huan turned his head and looked over there again. There is¡­ a wall over there. Zhang Huan suddenly woke up! ¡°Ohhh!¡± He reacted, ¡°That¡¯s right, post the certificate! Post the certificate! Ah, Hehe, get the scissors and tape! Dad will stick the certificate for you!¡± Zhang Heling¡¯s face lit up, and she put her hands in her clothes pockets with a smile¡­ She took out the tape with her left hand and the scissors with her right hand ¡ª she had already prepared them. Zhang Yansheng covered her eyes. Zhang Huan felt very happy. He posted the new award certificate, took a few steps back, and looked at it with his hands on his waist and his stomach hunched. Then, he looked down at his little daughter¡¯s glowing face. Suddenly, he can appreciate the joy of raising children. He also felt that he was now really old too ¡ª when he was younger, he couldn¡¯t bear to do this, and left it all to his wife. When his wife was done and he came back, she would deliberately pull him over, would tell him loudly what award Yanyan won and gave him a wink. So, he would take the initiative to praise a few words like ¡°Yanyan is awesome¡± and joined in the fun. At that time, he could give so much to his child, but in fact, he couldn¡¯t really sink his heart to experience the fun. But now, he is already old, and after he has settled down, his heart seems to be less impetuous. He looked at the still blank walls, looked at the radiant face of his little daughter, and felt happiness from the bottom of his heart. The sadness of some men is that when they start to be fathers, they are often not ready. When they are finally ready, the child has already grown up. CH 80 Enchantress12-15 minutes 20.02.2022 Now that the final exams are over and the holiday has begun, Zhang Huan, the son, took his wife and children to see his mother. Of course, he made an appointment with his eldest brother¡¯s family, and the two children went to see the old lady together. For men, this is filial piety. As for how difficult this time is for their wives, it is not the focus of their consideration. For the old lady, she still likes this kind of time. As you get older, no matter how tough people used to be, they are now beginning to like their children to go around their knees and have a full house of children and grandchildren. In this kind of family gathering of a large family, of course, the most talked about are the children. ¡°Hehe is the first in her grade!¡± Zhang Huan showed off to his mother, proudly putting it on his face. The old lady pointed her finger at him and cursed with a smile: ¡°Look at you!¡± She hugged Zhang Heling again: ¡°Our Hehe is getting better and better!¡± Zhang Heling smiled shyly and her small face was glowing. Zhang Qi smiled and said, ¡°Like when we were young, me, Xiao Lin, and Yanyan, we all took the first and second places in the exam casually. When we got to middle school, we started to work hard, and it was easy to fall if we didn¡¯t work hard. It¡¯s still the happiest in elementary school, which is really enviable. By the way, how was Shoushou¡¯s final exam?¡± Zhang Huan kept his smile unchanged, looked at his niece with a smile, and waved his hand: ¡°Forget it.¡± Zhang Yansheng suddenly discovered that maintaining a smile is actually an ability. At least now she hasn¡¯t cultivated this kind of ability. She clasped Zhang Shuocheng¡¯s head, who wanted to retreat, with one hand. She said, ¡°It¡¯s okay. He passed this semester.¡± Their cousin Zhang Lin laughed loudly. Aunts and uncles all looked like they couldn¡¯t help laughing. Zhang Yansheng looked at her coldly, with such a trace of disdain in her cousin Zhang Qi¡¯s smile. She saw that although her father Zhang Huan kept his smile unchanged, he rubbed his hands on his knees. Zhang Yansheng was slightly startled. In their own home, Zhang Huan is the sky. He has the greatest power and influence in the family, and pursues his own happiness and enjoyments as he pleases. But in front of the old lady, in front of his eldest brother and sister-in-law, he turned out not to be so arbitrary. Zhang Yansheng looked away and was about to speak, but Zhang Heling had already said what she wanted to say. She closed her mouth with her little palms, trying to tell her grandmother quietly: ¡°He has made much better progress this time. He failed two subjects last semester and even scored 28 points in the math test¡­¡± But everyone was sitting together in groups, and there was nothing inaudible. Zhang Qi and Zhang Lin laughed even harder. Liang Yingying¡¯s face was hot, and she couldn¡¯t wait to sew the mouths of Zhang Yansheng and Zhang Heling, these two who couldn¡¯t speak well, so don¡¯t embarrass her! The old lady was surprised and said: ¡°That is really a great improvement.¡± She beckoned to Zhang Shuocheng: ¡°Shuoshuo, come here, come to Grandma.¡± Zhang Shuocheng hesitated. Children have very good instincts and can distinguish creatures on top of the food chain. Zhang Shuocheng has always been a little afraid of this grandma. This grandma was not close to him before. But his eldest sister Zhang Yansheng put her palm on his back and gave him a push. His second sister Zhang Heling took the initiative to stand up and gave him the position next to his grandmother. Zhang Shuocheng reached the old lady¡¯s side. The old lady has sharp eyes and has been observing her children and grandchildren all the time. She has long noticed that Zhang Shuocheng is much more honest than before. Not the kind of honesty that is stupid and honest, this kid¡¯s eyes are still dripping, but he doesn¡¯t dare to be naughty. She held the little grandson¡¯s hand and asked, ¡°Tell Grandma, why have you made so much progress?¡± With Zhang Heling¡¯s first place and the Learning Star award in front, Zhang Shuocheng is actually quite self-aware, knowing that his grades are unmatched. So, he was actually not happy to be with the old lady just now, he thought he would be scolded. Something like ¡°Your sister can get first place in the grade, how can you pass¡±, and so on. The result surprised him. Grandma¡¯s tone seemed to be full of praise and encouragement. Zhang Shuocheng has never had stage fright. He is different from Zhang Heling. He dares to open a dyeing workshop if he gives some color! Immediately he said loudly: ¡°My sisters and the aunt watch me study every day, so I have made progress!¡± The old lady laughed. Zhang Yansheng saw that Zhang Huan¡¯s smile, which was only ¡®maintained¡¯, burst into a real smile again. Zhang Yansheng suddenly discovered that it was really interesting to observe Zhang Huan from a place other than ¡®home¡¯. Even observing Liang Yingying outside, seeing her embarrassed and flattering with a smile, it turned out to be interesting. In the past, her vision was too limited to the small field of ¡®home¡¯, and she saw too little. ¡°You, you are the little skin monkey!¡± The old lady smiled and poked Zhang Shuocheng¡¯s forehead, ¡°You have to let your sisters control you more strictly. Remember, what your sisters do is all for your own good. Look at it, as soon as they take care of you, your academic performance will rise, ah! Everyone is happy, and you will be beaten less.¡± Zhang Shuocheng thought for a while, it was true. As long as he listens to them and do his homework seriously, Zhang Yansheng, the great demon king, won¡¯t beat him casually. And he passed all the exams, as if everyone was very happy, and he also became happy inexplicably. Remembering that he had a great time in the mountains before, he boldly said to the old lady: ¡°Grandma, when will we go to the mountains again? I want to go to the mountains to play!¡± This kid, who looked dignified and strong and not naughty, was quite likable. The old lady got closer to him at several points in her heart, and said, ¡°It¡¯s winter now, so there is nothing in the mountains. We will go again during the summer vacation. Isn¡¯t it a holiday? You also take the children out to play and go to a warm place.¡± The last two sentences were said to Zhang Huan. Zhang Huan nodded immediately: ¡°I will make arrangements.¡± Zhang Yansheng¡¯s aunt said at this time: ¡°We have to go somewhere during the holiday. We¡¯ll let Xiao Lin go to study in Country M, and let him take a look at the school environment, campus environment, and humanities environment over there. So, when he applies for school in the future, he knows in his heart where he really wants to go.¡± Compared with the first place and just passing the two elementary school chickens, Zhang Lin¡¯s choice of university is obviously much more important. The topic and the old lady¡¯s attention were all pulled over by Zhang Yansheng¡¯s aunt. Zhang Yansheng noticed that Zhang Huan did not go to compete with his eldest brother¡¯s family for topics, allowing the old lady¡¯s attention to be attracted by their family. Zhang Yansheng suddenly realized that the reason why Zhang Huan always faintly falls behind at such family gatherings is because his children are not as good as other people¡¯s children! Zhang Heling is still young after all, leaving her aside, Zhang Yansheng and Zhang Shuocheng alone can¡¯t handle Zhang Qi and Zhang Lin. Zhang Yansheng suddenly felt ashamed. Zhang Yansheng did have a faint yearning and slight inferiority to those good students and cousins ???in her previous life. But this is the first time she felt this kind of hot and positive shame. Her gaze fell on the floor for a moment, and when she raised it again, she ran into the sight of her cousin Zhang Qi who seemed to be smiling. Some words need not be spoken, because the eyes are the windows of the soul. Zhang Yansheng has always been sensitive to the word ¡®hostility¡¯. The shame faded, her gaze became cold, and she turned back to meet Zhang Qi¡¯s gaze. Zhang Qi and her looked at each other for a moment, and then turned their gazes away. After talking about Zhang Lin¡¯s studies with her eldest daughter-in-law, the old lady came to care about Zhang Qi¡¯s studies again. Zhang Qi smiled and said: ¡°As soon as I entered school, I joined the student union. I think the student union is the most effective institution in the school. Not only are there many specific matters to be done, but there are also many interpersonal relationships between students that need to be handled properly. The university is like a small closed society, although it is small, it has all the internal organs.¡± The old lady kept smiling and nodding. Zhang Qi suddenly changed her words, smiled and asked Zhang Yansheng, ¡°How is Yanyan doing in Yi High School? Have you been promoted to the top class?¡± And Zhang Yansheng¡¯s aunt also turned her head and said, ¡°I heard that the Yi High School has to transfer classes twice in one school year? If you don¡¯t study well, you will to fall into a different class? Is there a lot of pressure?¡± They really deserve to be a mother and daughter, the tone and even the expression of the words are so similar! Zhang Yansheng saw that Zhang Huan¡¯s smile that had been maintained was finally a little unnatural. It turned out that in front of her uncle¡¯s family, she was Zhang Huan¡¯s biggest weakness. Zhang Yansheng felt ironic, because no matter how she felt about Zhang Huan in her heart, or even if they had made trouble like that in her previous life, in the eyes of others, they would always be father and daughter, constantly cutting through each other. Zhang Yansheng turned his eyes and said, ¡°I have been in the preparatory class. The top class in Yi High School is almost the tip of the pyramid in our K City. They are full of people with strong IQ and hard work, and their goals are all Top 2 Universities. A person with an ordinary IQ like me can only rely on the day after tomorrow to strive for a double first-class exam, just like Sister Qiqi.¡± In the previous life, if she dared to say that she wanted to take a double first-class exam, it would be a joke. But this life is no longer a joke. In terms of the slightly higher grades in the preparatory class of Yi High School, it is normal to pass the exam, but failure to pass the exam is due to insufficient effort. In this life, entering the K University like her cousin Zhang Qi is something that can be achieved by her own efforts and planning. There was light in Zhang Huan¡¯s eyes, and the trace of discomfort and self-confidence a moment ago disappeared. He looked at his daughter with a smile at the corner of his mouth and encouragement in his eyes. Zhang Qi¡¯s mother and daughter choked on one breath. Her aunt said with a smile: ¡°You are still young, so you think everything is easy. In fact, it¡¯s not as easy as you think. Do you think it¡¯s easy to take a double first-class exam? You don¡¯t know how hard your sister studies!¡± Zhang Yansheng nodded: ¡°You are right. If you have an insufficient IQ, you can only balance it by hard work.¡± Zhang Qi almost vomited out a mouthful of blood. Before her aunt was able to speak, the old lady suddenly clapped her hands and sighed, ¡°In our family, there has never been such a particularly intelligent child. I have really seen the kind of children who are born intelligent. They go to class the same way, and after they finish their studies, they will have a plenary meeting, and they will do whatever topic they want. As for us, we have also learned, and we really have to pay more time and energy to catch up when it comes to whether we can do the questions or not.¡± Zhang Yansheng¡¯s voice became gentle, and she took the topic and said, ¡°Yes, students at the top class in our school are all like this. A few classmates that are like this in our class have all been promoted to the top class this semester.¡± The old lady touched Zhang Shuocheng¡¯s head beside her: ¡°Did you hear that, so you have to keep working hard.¡± Zhang Heling was a little confused: ¡°Grandma, what kind of person am I? Am I also the same as Sister Qiqi, who has insufficient IQ and can only rely on hard work?¡± The old lady laughed. CH 81 Enchantress12-15 minutes 21.02.2022 On the way home, Zhang Huan drove the car and hummed a song. Liang Yingying couldn¡¯t understand why he was happy. She is not happy at all. Every time she goes to the old lady¡¯s place, it is like going to church for her. The old lady would never look at her directly. As for her noble sister-in-law, when she called her in person, she could turn her head with a smile and pretend that she couldn¡¯t hear her. She is used to pretending to be transparent on such occasions, so she just begs Zhang Shuocheng not to suddenly make a mistake and let the old lady notice her presence. Thinking of this, she remembered that Zhang Yansheng and Zhang Heling were two fools who made Zhang Shuocheng¡¯s grades embarrassing. Zhang Yansheng, she doesn¡¯t dare to provoke her at all now. Zhang Heling was born by herself, so she can scold her if she wants. She turned her head back and said to her biological daughter: ¡°If you can¡¯t speak well in the future, don¡¯t get close to your grandma¡­¡± But before Liang Yingying could speak more, a finger hit the tip of her nose. ¡°Shut up.¡± Zhang Huan drove steadily with the steering wheel in one hand, pointed to Liang Yingying with the other, and said, ¡°Quickly, shut up.¡± ¡°If you can¡¯t speak well, talk less to your children!¡± ¡°Why do you say that to our Hehe, huh? Why?¡± ¡°How likable and talkative our Hehe is! Her grandmother likes her, why don¡¯t you let others get close to her? Huh?¡± Zhang Huan said with his finger pointing at her. Liang Yingying was afraid of being poked by him, so she could only lean back hard. She was still aggrieved: ¡°How could she say those things? Look at her, she said that Shoushou only scored 28 points in the math exam, how embarrassing it is for her to say that?¡± Zhang Huan said: ¡°Oh? So, you now know that it¡¯s embarrassing? Why don¡¯t you go and teach when your child is studying? No, no, don¡¯t tutor him, forget about your level! We have Hehe, don¡¯t we, right Hehe? Your brother¡¯s studies will be left to you!¡± Zhang Heling¡¯s heart has become stronger now, and she is not as aggrieved as before when Liang Yingying said that and tears would flow in her eyes. She was scolded for no reason just now, and was taken aback for a moment. Before she could react, Zhang Huan had already supported her. She smiled happily and promised: ¡°I will watch him do his winter vacation homework!¡± Zhang Shuocheng snorted. Zhang Yansheng saw the subtle changes in everyone¡¯s status in this family with her eyes. She tugged at the corners of her mouth, propped her elbows on the window frame, and moved her chin to look at the scenery outside without getting involved. Anyway, now that Zhang Heling is covered by Zhang Huan, Liang Yingying can¡¯t scold her at will. Zhang Huan scolded Liang Yingying, and then asked the children: ¡°You are all on vacation, do you want to go somewhere to play? Dad will make arrangements, are we going to ski? Or go to the beach?¡± The two little one¡¯s eyes lit up. Zhang Shuocheng: ¡°Ski!¡± Zhang Heling: ¡°Beach!¡± Zhang Shuocheng: ¡°Ski! Ski!¡± Zhang Huan smiled and said, ¡°Don¡¯t make any noise, don¡¯t make any noise, we will discuss it when we get home.¡± He glanced at Zhang Yansheng from the rearview mirror, and cleverly did not ask her opinion in the presence of Liang Yingying. Otherwise, based on his understanding of this eldest daughter, it is likely that she will give him a cold sentence: I will not travel with your little wife. Zhang Huan really guessed it right. Although Zhang Yansheng heard it, she didn¡¯t even want to get involved in their discussion. Let her travel with Liang Yingying? She doesn¡¯t have this dream, okay! Zhang Huan wanted to give her a cue. ¡°Yanyan, Yanyan.¡± He called her. Zhang Yansheng thought he was going to tell her about the tour, and coolly cast a warning glance in the rearview mirror. Unexpectedly, Zhang Huan said another thing. ¡°There will be a charity event the day after tomorrow. You can go with dad.¡± He also glanced at her from the rearview mirror and said that. Sitting in the middle of the back row, Zhang Heling clearly saw her mother¡¯s face change. ¡°Husband, I will accompany you.¡± Liang Yingying said hurriedly. ¡°Don¡¯t make trouble.¡± Zhang Huan waved his hand and said, ¡°You are not young anymore, you should go out with me more and have a look around. Your grandma deliberately told me about this after the National Day. I think you have been very busy studying, so I didn¡¯t mention it to you. Now it¡¯s a holiday, so do you have time? Let¡¯s go and see it with your father?¡± Zhang Yansheng was surprised. She once felt confused about the future, and confided this confusion to her grandmother. After talking about it, then it was over for her. When she goes back to school, it¡¯s time to learn and to brush up questions. The life of high school students is so simple and monotonous, and they can¡¯t change to be a flower. But she didn¡¯t expect that her grandmother had communicated with Zhang Huan specifically for this. There was a burst of warmth in Zhang Yansheng¡¯s heart. She couldn¡¯t help but glance at Zhang Huan who was driving. It¡¯s been four months since the National Day, and he¡¯s still thinking about it¡­ Zhang Yansheng suddenly realized a truth that she had never understood in her previous life. If you don¡¯t give up on yourself, others won¡¯t give up on you at will. ¡°Okay.¡± She raised her jaw slightly and agreed, ¡°What is the dress code?¡± ¡°There will be auctions and donations, which are more business-oriented, so be more formal.¡± Zhang Huan said happily. Zhang Yansheng nodded: ¡°I got it.¡± Zhang Heling has been listening to this conversation, and has also been looking at Liang Yingying¡¯s side face. She clearly saw that Liang Yingying¡¯s face was getting more and more ugly. Liang Yingying loves this kind of formal occasion the most. On this kind of occasion with shining lights, she is rich and wealthy, and she accepts people¡¯s gaze as Mrs. Zhang ¡ª this is the highlight of Liang Yingying¡¯s life. And now, Zhang Huan actually deprived her of this happiness and gave it to Zhang Yansheng! But this was what Zhang Huan meant, and Liang Yingying dared not refute or defy. She actually didn¡¯t even dare to fart. But she was vomiting to death and hated it to death! She couldn¡¯t help but glance back. It¡¯s just that Zhang Yansheng was sitting directly behind the co-pilot, and Liang Yingying couldn¡¯t see Zhang Yansheng unless she turned her neck 180 degrees. This glimpse was only received by Zhang Heling, who was sitting in the middle of the back row and paying attention to her. Viciously. Zhang Heling subconsciously leaned towards Zhang Yansheng. ¡°Hmm?¡± Zhang Yansheng asked, ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± Zhang Heling shook her head, did not speak, but leaned her head on Zhang Yansheng. She¡¯s a little soft, clingy, and quiet. Zhang Yansheng¡¯s hands were itchy and couldn¡¯t help but stroke the smooth black hair on her head. It feels good! When they got home, the two little ones went upstairs on their own. Zhang Huan waved her hand to Liang Yingying and dismissed her: ¡°You go up first. I will talk to Yanyan.¡± Liang Yingying forcibly kept smiling, and said softly, ¡°Then I will wait for you¡­¡± She reluctantly went upstairs. Zhang Yansheng rubbed the goose bumps on her arms and asked, ¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡± ¡°As I said in the car¡­¡± Zhang Huan smiled, ¡°Where do you want to go to play?¡± Seeing Zhang Yansheng moving her lips to speak, he hurriedly stopped her again: ¡°I know, I know who is it, Hehe¡¯s mother. Dad knows, dad will arrange it, so we will take only your younger brother and sister, the four of us! Without her!¡± This kind of travel is not like Zhang Heling¡¯s birthday, just go out for most of the day, as it will take at least several days. Zhang Yansheng looked at Zhang Huan: ¡°You won¡¯t take your little wife?¡± Zhang Huan thought Zhang Yansheng was confirming, so he promised: ¡°No!¡± Zhang Yansheng was silent for a long time and said, ¡°You can arrange it.¡± Then, she turned around and went upstairs. Zhang Huan stood at the entrance of the stairs and said: ¡°Where do you want to go?¡± Zhang Yansheng¡¯s voice came from the upper floor: ¡°The beach¡­¡± This matter is settled. Zhang Yansheng returned to her room, only to feel a cool feeling. In this life, she once again experienced Zhang Huan¡¯s coldness. It¡¯s just that in the last life, his coldness was to her and her mother, and in this life, he turned cold to Liang Yingying. In addition to property and inheritance rights, what is the meaning of marriage? Zhang Yansheng really couldn¡¯t understand. When Zhang Huan returned to the room, she was warmly ¡®greeted¡¯ by Liang Yingying. Liang Yingying deliberately used pheromone perfume to mobilize Zhang Huan¡¯s little remaining interest in her and carried out a husband-and-wife exercise. Although it went well, after Zhang Huan fell asleep, Liang Yingying still opened her eyes. The man has lost interest in her, the feeling is too clear and understandable, it is impossible for her to pretend to be stupid. A day later, Zhang Huan was going to take Zhang Yansheng to the charity event. Zhang Yansheng changed her clothes in the cloakroom, walked to the dressing table, and opened her lipstick cabinet. The full-color lipsticks were inserted into the grid one by one, as shy as a concubine waiting for the emperor¡¯s blessing. Zhang Heling held her cheeks to watch Zhang Yansheng swipe a finger across an entire row of lipsticks, and finally selected one, took it out, and opened it. Flame-like red. ¡°Wow~¡± she sighed, ¡°It is so red.¡± Zhang Yansheng blazed with red lips. She didn¡¯t put on heavy eye makeup like in the previous life, only drew eyeliner and mascara to compliment her lips color. The lips color is so red, but the makeup gives people a retro cold feeling. Zhang Heling opened her eyes wide to see Zhang Yansheng¡¯s skillful makeup technique without blinking. ¡°Zhang Heling.¡± Zhang Yansheng twisted the lid of the cosmetics and called her. Zhang Heling finally recovered: ¡°Yes!¡± Zhang Yansheng put the things in her hand back in place and told her, ¡°You have to twist the lipstick back and close the lid again.¡± Zhang Heling almost responded ¡°okay¡±, but fortunately she reacted quickly, squatted and said: ¡°I, I didn¡¯t, no¡­¡± The voice was weak, and she was very discouraged when she heard it. Zhang Yansheng pulled out a pink lipstick, opened it, and rotated it. As expected, the tip of the lipstick was smashed. Zhang Yansheng has never used this lipstick. Almost all the spoils were seized and arrested on the spot. Zhang Heling wilted. Zhang Yansheng tensed her face and said, ¡°Do you know how I found out?¡± Zhang Heling shook her head. ¡°It was returned in the wrong position, dummy!¡± Zhang Yansheng gave her a tremor in the forehead. When she was changing clothes just now, she heard a sound of being pulled apart on the dressing table. When she was putting on makeup, she opened the lipstick cabinet and saw a lipstick inserted upside down in the grid. The child secretly moved the adult cosmetics, and then put them back in a panic. The appearance was simply lifelike. Zhang Heling covered her forehead and smirked. Zhang Yansheng took out two more pink lipsticks, and gave them to Zhang Heling, along with the one that was tipped: ¡°Take it and play with it.¡± ¡°Thank you, sister~¡± Zhang Heling cheered, picked up her new ¡®toy¡¯ and ran away happily. Zhang Yansheng yelled: ¡°No makeup is allowed in school!¡± ¡°I know¨C I know¨C¡± The child has already run outside. Zhang Yansheng went downstairs, and Zhang Huan was waiting for her there. Hearing the voice, he looked up, a little surprised that she put on makeup. It was the first time that Zhang Yansheng, at this age, appeared in front of Zhang Huan wearing makeup. ¡°Hoh.¡± Looking at her lipstick, he said, ¡°It¡¯s so red!¡± He took a closer look at her and said, ¡°You look like a big girl.¡± He said again: ¡°Just like your mother, but she doesn¡¯t use lipstick of this color. She likes to use softer colors to look good.¡± Zhang Yansheng picked up the bag indifferently: ¡°So, I look ugly now?¡± ¡°Hey!¡± Zhang Huan caught up, ¡°What are you talking about, Dad didn¡¯t mean that. Your makeup is so beautiful! My daughter is a beautiful woman!¡± Liang Yingying followed them to the gate, shouting very kindly: ¡°Come back early.¡± When the father and daughter left in the car, the smile on her face disappeared and she slammed the door bitterly. CH 82 On the way, Zhang Huan gave her a brief talk about the theme and background of this charity event and the important guests. Incidentally, he talked about the Zhang family and some of the charities he did by himself. Zhang Yansheng was a little surprised: ¡°Has our family done so much?¡± ¡°Of course.¡± Zhang Huan said, ¡°We have been doing it for many years.¡± Zhang Yansheng didn¡¯t know. In her previous life, she had already embarked on the path of a rebellious girl since this time. Zhang Huan and her did not have the opportunity to attend any activities together, let alone such an atmosphere of teaching, learning, and listening. Zhang Yansheng has a lot of things she doesn¡¯t know. She suddenly realized that with Zhang Huan¡¯s charity, the father who made her gritted her teeth with hatred in her previous life might also be the best good person in the world and in the hearts of other poor children. Zhang Yansheng¡¯s feelings are a bit complicated. Why are people such complex creatures? The longer Zhang Yansheng was reborn, the more she couldn¡¯t understand. When they got there, it was indeed an environment where the light and shadow were intertwined, and the clothes and sideburns were shadowy. No wonder Liang Yingying was so jealous that the smile on her face was deformed when she sent them out. She likes to be ¡®Mrs. Zhang¡¯ the most. Zhang Yansheng took Zhang Huan¡¯s arm and followed him to greet others. Zhang Huan has many people he knows here. Some of them let Zhang Yansheng call them ¡°President X¡± and ¡°Director X¡±, while others let Zhang Yansheng call them ¡°Uncle X¡± and ¡°Grandpa X¡±. When someone else is around, that person will also introduce Zhang Huan to a stranger, making a ¡®long-admiring¡¯ greeting and conversation. Many people came with their spouses. Seeing that Zhang Huan is accompanied by such a beautiful young girl, everyone¡¯s reaction is quite consistent. No one will show their surprise, they all smile, but they didn¡¯t say hello to her first. When Zhang Huan introduced her and said, ¡°This is my daughter, Zhang Yansheng¡±, the decent smiles on their faces relaxed and became much more sincere. She doesn¡¯t know what kind of treatment Liang Yingying will receive when she comes to this kind of occasion. Zhang Yansheng followed Zhang Huan around, and had to admit that her father had left the messy private affairs of the family. When he appeared outside in a neat and dignified manner, he was actually very charming. Indeed, if you put aside the black spots of private morality and the scum of personality, others can only see his exterior when they look at him. He is good-looking and has a well-managed figure. He has money and has the aura honed after years of immersion in the business world. He greeted people, talked, and laughed with ease. The scumbag father in her eyes, in the eyes of others is an ¡®uncle¡¯ class man. But her attention was suddenly attracted by others. The people introduced to Zhang Huan by a familiar person are surnamed Xu, and they are a couple. The woman held her husband¡¯s arm with a kind and decent smile on her face. Zhang Huan greeted and complimented each other without changing his expression. After walking away for a while, he asked Zhang Yansheng, ¡°What¡¯s the matter? Do you know them?¡± When he was meeting with the couple just now, Zhang Yansheng¡¯s hand holding his arm suddenly tightened. Zhang Yansheng looked at the Xu couple and told him quietly: ¡°Remember that I had a classmate whose father raised an illegitimate child?¡± Zhang Huan suddenly realized: ¡°It¡¯s that him?¡± He ate the melons on the spot with relish, looked at the couple for a while, and asked, ¡°Is that his wife? Your classmate¡¯s mother?¡± Zhang Yansheng let out a ¡°hmm¡± and stared at the couple. Zhang Huan admired and said, ¡°Your classmate¡¯s mother is very good.¡± The wife already knew everything about her husband, but she appeared on this occasion holding her husband¡¯s arm, with a kind and decent smile on her face, without flaws. Even when she looked at her husband and smiled, the emotions in her eyes were showing affection. Zhang Yansheng also said, ¡°Yes, she¡¯s amazing.¡± She thought to herself, how could she do it? She knew that Mother Xu resented and hated Father Xu. She just hadn¡¯t seen them before they officially tore their faces, Mother Xu already surprised her with her smile and appearance. This control of self-emotions is so powerful that she dazzles and yearns for it. In her previous life, she was too weak in this aspect, like a small firecracker, she was blown up by Liang Yingying and smashed to the ground. A woman¡¯s voice suddenly sounded not far away: ¡°Director Zhang!¡± Both Zhang Huan and Zhang Yansheng followed, and a woman strode over and stretched out her hand to Zhang Huan. Zhang Huan shook hands with her: ¡°Director Xue.¡± Then he introduced her: ¡°This is my daughter.¡± Zhang Yansheng thought she looked familiar just now. As soon as Zhang Huan introduced her, she remembered that she had later seen her in a magazine. This President Xue is different from the habit of many entrepreneurs who do not appear in public. She is a person who often appears in the media. She remembered Huang Mao and the others once pointed a cigarette at the woman on the TV and said meanly: ¡°This kind of woman, she looks restless at first sight, who the hell would marry her?¡± Zhang Yansheng was born in this circle anyway, and she was speechless at the time: ¡°She¡¯s someone who has a net worth of 10 billion yuan, do you need to worry about whether anyone will marry her?¡± This Director Xue looked to be in her 30s. Unlike many wives in this event who were dressed up with jewels, she was wearing a high-set formal dress and did not wear any jewelry. Her long hair is tied behind her head, looking so capable and elegant. Zhang Huan mentioned her on the road, the daughter of the president of the K City¡¯s Chamber of Commerce, and the organizer of this charity event. Zhang Yansheng just didn¡¯t associate this name and identity with the faces she had seen in the media in her previous life. After the greetings, Director Xue and Zhang Huan talked about a project. Zhang Yansheng couldn¡¯t understand too much professional vocabulary, but this woman obviously came to talk to Zhang Huan specifically for this. It¡¯s just that her time is limited, and there is a voice urging her from her headset. She pressed the headset and replied, ¡°I¡¯m coming¡±. ¡°We¡¯ll talk about it another day.¡± Zhang Huan said. ¡°Okay, then my secretary will make an appointment with your secretary later.¡± Director Xue said. Zhang Huan responded and Director Xue strode away. She walked very vigorously, and when she passed through a bunch of bejeweled ladies, it was those ladies¡¯ husbands who greeted her. Zhang Yansheng asked, ¡°She is a very powerful person, right?¡± Zhang Huan praised: ¡°She is very powerful.¡± He added: ¡°Your classmate¡¯s mother is also very powerful. I have known both the husband and wife before, but today is the first time we have personally met each other.¡± Zhang Huan became interested and told Zhang Yansheng, ¡°You should be able to see three or four of the most powerful women in K City today.¡± Zhang Yansheng became curious and asked, ¡°The most powerful women? Who are they?¡± Zhang Huan took out a finger triumphantly: ¡°First of all, your grandma¡­ don¡¯t laugh, it¡¯s true. Your classmate¡¯s mother, Director Xue, whom you just met, she is the daughter of President Xue¡­¡± Zhang Yansheng said, ¡°I heard that she has a brother?¡± She can remember this because Huang Mao and the others pointed to the TV and said, ¡°This woman robbed her brother¡¯s property¡±, so that¡¯s why ¡°she deserves not to get married.¡± However, if someone has a net worth of 10 billion yuan, who the hell cares if they marry or not? Huang Mao¡¯s logic is touching for these people. ¡°You also know her brother?¡± Zhang Huan was slightly surprised, and then said, ¡°Her brother can¡¯t do it. He gambles and does drugs, so he¡¯s completely useless.¡± Therefore, President Xue handed over the family business to his daughter to inherit. Zhang Yansheng sneered: ¡°If Zhang Shuocheng is not disciplined well, he will not be much better in the future.¡± ¡°He wouldn¡¯t be like that, okay?¡± Zhang Huan didn¡¯t believe it. That¡¯s how people are. When they talk about others, they are all wise. When they talk about themselves, their eyes are as if they are blind and they can¡¯t see anything. ¡°He¡¯s still young.¡± Zhang Huan often says this. Zhang Yansheng shook her head speechlessly and walked away. ¡°Hey.¡± Zhang Huan followed, still muttering to himself, ¡°I¡¯m telling you that he wouldn¡¯t be. How can my children¡­?¡± Director Xue returned backstage, and a young man in a black suit came over with a stack of papers: ¡°Do you want to go through it again?¡± He has a tall figure and a clear temperament. It stands out from the crowd among the busy staff. But if you look closely, what he is wearing is not actually a high-end Western suit, but, like most of the backstage staff, it is neither very exquisite and expensive, nor too rough and cheap, an ordinary work suit. It will make people feel that their eyes are shining, entirely because of a good life. ¡°No need, I have remembered it all.¡± Director Xue said. The young man handed her a few hard cardboard cards: ¡°Teleprompter cards¡±. Chief Xue took them, but asked him with a smile: ¡°How is it going, is there any gain?¡± ¡°Yes.¡± The young man said, ¡°Empty talk is better than practice. Some things are easy to take for granted, and you only know what will happen once you start doing it.¡± Someone over there called him: ¡°Yue Song!¡± The young man turned his head and responded, turning his head: ¡°I¡¯m over here.¡± ¡°Go, go ahead.¡± Director Xue patted him on the shoulder, looking at him completely as her little brother. Before leaving, Yue Song lowered his voice and said, ¡°Sister Xintong, don¡¯t forget to help me get that antique car and give it to my grandfather.¡± Xue Xintong agreed with a smile. In fact, they are indeed blood cousins. Yue Song¡¯s mother is Director Xue¡¯s aunt. Yue Song had been busy for a while, and the event activities had officially begun. He could also hear his cousin¡¯s slow and steady voice in the background: ¡°Dear guests, friends, leaders of the Provincial Party Committee, Municipal Party Committee, and Red Cross Association, I would like to welcome everyone on behalf of the K City Business Federation¡­¡± It really started, but he was relaxed. His roommate, Qian Wei, also leaned over and greeted another person: ¡°Senior Sister, Senior Sister Jiang, come here, you can see clearly from here.¡± Senior sister Jiang also came over. The three of them followed this charity project from the beginning as interns, but on this important occasion, the subsequent work must be handled by real professionals and will not be handed over to the interns, so that¡¯s why they are free now. ¡°The day is almost over.¡± Senior sister Jiang sighed. The junior brother, Yue Song, has a relative in this charity project, and he gave them this opportunity to enter the project as interns. Although they haven¡¯t seen him all the time and they don¡¯t know who the relative of junior brother Yue is, this relative obviously takes care of them very much, letting them follow from beginning to end, and arranging for them to participate more or less in all aspects. Yue Song also asked the same question: ¡°How is it, is there any gain?¡± ¡°Of course, there is.¡± Senior sister Jiang said, ¡°At school, I thought we¡¯re doing pretty good, but comparing it with this kind of project, the ones we did in school are simply playhouses.¡± She said with great interest again: ¡°Yue Song, thank you so much this time. If it weren¡¯t for you, where would this practical opportunity come from?¡± Qian Wei put his arms around Yue Song¡¯s neck and picked it up for him: ¡°You¡¯re welcome, you¡¯re welcome, what do you want to thank us for? Senior Sister, you are so kind.¡± Senior sister Jiang was happy. Only when she was free did she feel hot and thirsty, so she went to find water to drink. As soon as she left, Qian Wei patted Yue Song on the shoulder and said, ¡°Thank you, Lao Yue, I owe you a favor.¡± Yue Song didn¡¯t care: ¡°It¡¯s not a problem.¡± The student union of K University is not bad and can do some practical things, but as senior sister Jiang said, one-to-one comparison is like playing house. Xue Xintong asked him if he wanted to come to this project for an internship. He had planned to take a walk in the company¡¯s grassroots level in the past few years, so he came. Thinking that the opportunity was good, Qian Wei had a good relationship with him, so he brought Qian Wei with him. Qian Wei knew that senior sister Jiang had always wanted to find such a project for an internship. After begging Yue Song, he brought in senior sister Jiang as well. After being busy for a month until now, after today¡¯s auction is over, they don¡¯t need to do the subsequent follow-ups, and it will be considered over. The two stood in that position and continued to watch. Qian Wei suddenly pounded Yue Song with his elbow: ¡°Hey, look over there, there is a very beautiful girl!¡± Yue Song looked in the direction he pointed. He saw her at a glance. At the very front row position, among the middle-aged people, the girl looked like a sword orchid by the water. Serene and distinct. CH 83 Enchantress13-17 minutes 23.02.2022 ¡°Wow, she is a legendary young lady from a noble family, right?¡± Qian Wei held up the camera, ¡°I¡¯ll take a photo to show it to Lao Zhao and the others. Okay, I¡¯m sending it to the group.¡± Yue Song clicked on the dormitory group chat, glanced at it twice, and smiled: ¡°Do you still edit the picture after taking it?¡± ¡°What? No? Let me see.¡± Qian Wei turned on the camera settings, convinced that he hadn¡¯t turned on the beauty effect, ¡°It wasn¡¯t turned on!¡± ¡°No?¡± Yue Song stared at the photo, a little incredulous. Qian Wei poked his head over: ¡°Why don¡¯t you just say that she¡¯s beautiful?¡± He also stared for a while. The two of them were silent for a moment, and then looked up to see the girl in the audience. Her makeup is very cold, and her skin is flawless under the light, as if she had a beautiful face scrub in reality. ¡°Make-up technique!¡± Qian Wei insisted, ¡°It must be a make-up technique! I don¡¯t believe it! What kind of foundation, concealer, etc., as soon as you remove the makeup, she will definitely just¡­¡± Qian Wei couldn¡¯t continue talking. Although they were separated by a distance, it could be seen that the girl¡¯s makeup was not strong. The color of the lipstick is obviously gorgeous, but it gives people a cold feeling. He felt that even if this girl removes her makeup, her appearance should¡­ not change much. Qian Wei was speechless: ¡°If it¡¯s not makeup, that means that her skin is this great, huh?¡± Speaking of his crush, senior sister Jiang, who had a few acne spots on her forehead because she was too busy recently. She was born very white and her skin did not have the same effect as this kind of microdermabrasion. ¡°F*ck.¡± Qian Wei said angrily. ¡°She has money and good looks, and I can¡¯t even pick out blemishes on her skin. This is too enviable!¡± Yue Song laughed, put away his cellphone, and looked at the girl for a while. Pleasing to the eye. Zhang Yansheng always felt as if someone was looking at her. She cast her eyes to the side of the stage. The spotlights on the stage were cast down, forming a light curtain, and it was impossible to see what was behind the light curtain. Zhang Yansheng retracted her gaze, her attention was completely attracted by Xue Xintong on the stage. Standing on the stage, this big sister was full of momentum. That aura is not the cool, handsome tyrannical drag of a stupid young woman, but it has been polished over time and constructed from knowledge and experience. Zhang Yansheng didn¡¯t know why, but she couldn¡¯t look away from this big sister. She didn¡¯t know why but something had sprouted from the bottom of her heart and broke through the ground. Although she was still young, she had a direction. The auction went smoothly and there were no unsuccessful auctions. Xue Xintong alone took two or three pieces, including an antique classic car. Zhang Huan got an enamel clock from the Qing Dynasty: ¡°Your grandma likes this kind of thing, let¡¯s send it to her when we get back.¡± He also asked Zhang Yansheng if there was anything she liked. The auctioned items are mainly antiques. How could a young woman like Zhang Yansheng like them? She just said, ¡°None.¡± But she has been very quiet on the way back. Although she is usually very quiet, the silence at this moment can be described as her being taciturn. Zhang Huan felt some and asked with a smile, ¡°Were you bored?¡± ¡°No, I think it was interesting.¡± Zhang Yansheng said. Zhang Huan let out an ¡°Oh¡± and asked, ¡°Would you still like to come with dad from now on?¡± Zhang Yansheng nodded: ¡°If I have time, I will.¡± Zhang Huan is in a good mood. Not only did he complete a mission after his talk with the old lady, but he also promoted feelings with his daughter, killing two birds with one stone. Moreover, when his daughter gets older, she should also come out to meet more talents. He was thinking about it, but suddenly he heard Zhang Yansheng ask, ¡°How can I become a person like Director Xue?¡± Zhang Huan was startled and looked at Zhang Yansheng. His daughter was looking at him with a serious expression that he had never seen before, her eyes were full of seriousness. The words that the old lady said to him alone after the National Day rang in his ears ¡ª ¡°This child is very confused now¡±. At this moment, Zhang Huan suddenly felt the weight of the word ¡®father¡¯ and felt the responsibility on his shoulders. He propped up his seat, straightened his body, and asked rhetorically, ¡°Do you want to be like her in the future?¡± Zhang Yansheng did not answer ¡®yes¡¯ directly. She looked at Zhang Huan and asked a rhetorical question back: ¡°How about you? What kind of person do you want me to be in the future?¡± Zhang Yansheng¡¯s hand clenched into a fist unconsciously. She stared at Zhang Huan, wondering about his answer. ¡°Me?¡± Zhang Huan said, he thought for a while, and recalled the past, ¡°You have studied well since you were a child. Your mother and I have great expectations of you. At that time, as a father, I thought that my daughter is so smart and when she grows up, I will teach her how to do business hand in hand¡­¡± His eyes suddenly became wet. ¡°Your mother thinks so too. She herself is a person who can¡¯t relax. She can put things together and stay up for three days and three nights for a proposal. Your grandmother likes her very much. If your mother hadn¡¯t died due to illness, now that others mention these famous women with surnames in our K City, your mother¡¯s name should be on it¡­¡± Zhang Yansheng¡¯s fist clenched tighter. Zhang Huan sniffed and said, ¡°Yanyan, don¡¯t be afraid. Your mother is gone, but Dad is here. Dad is still young and can still live for many years. When you get older, Dad will teach you to ensure that you will not be worse than Xiao Xue in the future!¡± Didn¡¯t you just use some money to send me off? Why do you still say such a thing? Zhang Yansheng didn¡¯t know how to proceed with this statement. Zhang Huan saw her dazed expression, then he broke into a smile through tears. She usually looks quite outstanding and has a great idea, but she is actually still a child. In this kind of matter, the ultimate goal is to find the person who gave birth to her and raised her to seek answers and remove her doubts. Zhang Huan patted her hand: ¡°Don¡¯t worry, how old are you? Right now, just study hard and get into a better university. You don¡¯t need to think about other stuff. You and Hehe are both so smart. Dad will train you both into Little Zhangs in the future. Anyone who sees my daughters in the future will have to say: Oh, this Zhang Huan can really raise his children, and these children are not worse than Director Xue!¡± He fantasized about the future and became proud. Suddenly remembering that he still had a son, he was discouraged: ¡°However Shuoshuo, this kid is worthless. Hey, what you said makes sense. This kid still has to be controlled more strictly. Otherwise, I¡¯m really afraid that he will be like President Xue¡¯s son in the future, and he won¡¯t learn well¡­¡± He talked about this, rambling. Zhang Yansheng remembers that he was not a person who talked so much before. Is he that old? When people get older, it¡¯s much easier for them to talk. It is also easy for them to shed tears. In the second half of the journey, Zhang Yansheng kept holding her chin and looking at the street view outside the window¡­ The charity event ended smoothly, Yue Song and the others were busy again, and the finishing work was done. The task of the demolition of the stage was the PR company¡¯s business. The person in charge of them also said ¡°Thank you for your hard work¡± to them and told them that they could leave. ¡°It¡¯s over.¡± Qian Wei stretched out his old waist and sighed, ¡°Today, I have really seen the world. These rich people didn¡¯t hesitate to hold up their placards. They are impatient with the price increase of 100,000, then directly increased to 500,000 and 800,000, shouting millions at every turn. D*mn.¡± Senior sister Jiang laughed: ¡°Don¡¯t you feel more motivated to fight? Although we are not a rich second generation, we must work hard to be a rich generation!¡± ¡°Senior Sister, you are so ambitious. It¡¯s better to do this, you become a rich generation, and then take care of me. I don¡¯t want to struggle anymore. It¡¯s still comfortable to be paralyzed, Yue Song, don¡¯t you think so?¡± The three of them talked and laughed while going downstairs to the hotel lobby. Qian Wei asked, ¡°Senior Sister, how are you going back?¡± Senior sister Jiang had a sweet smile on her face: ¡°Zhang Bo came over to pick me up. Hey, he¡¯s here!¡± She said, waving towards the sofa in the lobby. Her handsome boyfriend had been waiting for her for an hour. He came over and took her hand when he heard them. He is a graduate student of K University. Both Qian Wei and Yue Song greeted him: ¡°Senior Brother Zhang.¡± Senior brother Zhang knew that Yue Song had found this opportunity, so he thanked Yue Song again: ¡°Thank you.¡± Yue Song said, ¡°Senior Brother, you are welcome. Senior Sister has always taken good care of us in the student union.¡± After the greetings were over, the two watched the sweet couple leave. Qian Wei let out a sigh with envy. Yue Song patted him on the shoulder. Senior sister Jiang is beautiful and has a good personality, and she is a goddess-level figure in the student union. Senior brother Zhang is tall and handsome, and he is also a grassroot figure in the school. The two of them are a well-known couple in school, and they are a perfect match. So, if you have a crush on this kind of person, just¡­ keep it secret. ¡°What are you doing?¡± Qian Wei shook his shoulder and shook Yue Song¡¯s hand off, ¡°It¡¯s as if I¡¯m out of love. Can¡¯t I just envy it? It¡¯s not that I don¡¯t have self-knowledge. Even if Senior Sister Jiang is not with Senior Brother Zhang, it is impossible for her to notice me.¡± Qian Wei is a sensible person, Yue Song smiled. Qian Wei put his hands over Yue Song¡¯s shoulder this time and said: ¡°Let¡¯s walk around, I am too tired today to take the subway. Let¡¯s take a taxi back to school and I will pay for it! But I can¡¯t eat with you anymore, I have an evening train ticket, so I have to leave when I go back to pick up my bag.¡± The other classmates have gone home after the winter vacation. Qian Wei belongs to the city next door. Because he has followed this project until now, he specially applied to the school and still lives in the dormitory. Because they have been working all together these days, Yue Song is also living in the dormitory. Yue Song said, ¡°I still have something to do, so I have to go home first. I won¡¯t go back to school today.¡± ¡°Oh, okay, I¡¯ll treat you to dinner when school starts.¡± Qian Wei is thinking about returning the favor this time. Yue Song responded with a smile and watched him get into the taxi. When Qian Wei left, Yue Song took out his cellphone and made a call: ¡°I¡¯m at the gate of the hotel.¡± Soon a black Bentley drove over, and Yue Song opened the door and got into the car. It was his cousin, Xue Xintong, who was sitting in the car. She said in disgust: ¡°You are too low-key.¡± Yue Song¡¯s clothes are very ordinary, and there is no big brand from head to toe. His classmates and even roommates, which he has good relationships with, do not know his family background. And Xue Xintong is notoriously fond of high-profile. Yue Song smiled: ¡°So what? My surname is Yue and not Xue.¡± Xue Xintong spat at him. The two talked about today¡¯s auction, who chatted with whom speculatively, who said that they are going to cooperate on a project, and who and who are going to fight for a piece of land in front of the Provincial Party Committee leaders.¡­¡­ After almost finishing their chat, Yue Song took out his cellphone and handed it over: ¡°Sister Xintong, let me ask you about someone, do you know who she is?¡± Xue Xintong glanced at it and said ¡°Hoh¡±, with a smile in his eyes: ¡°What¡¯s the matter? Do you like her?¡± Yue Song said, ¡°Tell me who she is first.¡± The girl is very young, and there are middle-aged men sitting on her left and right sides. Yue Song didn¡¯t know who she came with, and he was a little worried about her identity ¡ª she was so beautiful. He was worried that she was an 18th-line starlet and didn¡¯t know whose old man did she follow. Although the contact time is very short, it is difficult to forget such a beautiful girl. What¡¯s more, people like Xue Xintong almost never forget anyone she met. She returned the phone to Yue Song and teased him: ¡°Don¡¯t worry, it¡¯s a girl from a decent family. She¡¯s a granddaughter of Mrs. Zhang¡¯s family.¡± Yue Song asked, ¡°Which Zhang family?¡± It is said that she is the old lady of the Zhang family, but in fact, the old lady¡¯s surname is Song. Xue Xintong said, ¡°It¡¯s old lady, Song Lanying.¡± The old lady, Song Lanying, is also ranked among the strong women in K City. As soon as Xue Xintong mentioned her, Yue Song knew and nodded: ¡°That Zhang family.¡± He suddenly remembered and asked, ¡°Her father is Zhang Yu?¡± ¡°No, Zhang Yu is her uncle.¡± Xue Xintong said, ¡°Her father is Zhang Huan. I have a project and I am talking about cooperation with him.¡± So, this girl and Zhang Qi are not sisters, but cousins. Yue Song just thought that it was good, when he heard Xue Xintong say with a smile, ¡°However, this girl¡­¡± Yue Song heard that his cousin¡¯s voice sounded not quite right, so he raised his eyes: ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± Xue Xintong couldn¡¯t hold back her laughter and finally revealed: ¡°She is a first-year high school student this year!¡± She laughed to death, this little cousin of her family, who is always above the top, has a crush on a high school freshman! CH 84 Yue Song stared at the photo for a long time, then slowly said, ¡°It¡¯s impossible¡­¡± Although the more he looks at it carefully, the more he feels that the girl is really young, but¡­ her face does not have the innocence and sentimentality that a girl of 15 or 16 would have. It¡¯s hard for Yue Song to believe that she is only a freshman in high school. Yue Song is already a sophomore in college. Because of his family background, he is a bit more mature than his peers, so in Yue Song¡¯s heart, a high school freshman¡­ is still a child. Xue Xintong was speechless: ¡°Why would I lie to you? She said it herself. I asked her earlier when I gave them my greetings. I thought she was a college student and asked her how old she is. She said she was a freshman in high school.¡± His cousin¡¯s tone is serious, and she is not a person who jokes incessantly. Yue Song pinched the middle of his eyebrows: ¡°Are the little girls nowadays so precocious?¡± Xue Xintong laughed, took his mobile phone from Yue Song¡¯s hand, took a closer look at it, and agreed: ¡°She really looks more mature than her real age.¡± She thought for a while and said, ¡°Maybe it¡¯s because of her family situation. Her mother has been dead for several years. She grew up in the hands of her stepmother, so she became more mature than her peers.¡± Yue Song raised his eyebrows: ¡°Is she having a bad time?¡± Xue Xintong teased: ¡°Why, if she is having a bad time, do you want to be the Prince Charming who saves Cinderella? Take a closer look at the temperament of this little girl¡¯s eyes, does she look like Cinderella squatting in the kitchen picking up beans?¡± Xue Xintong was more certain that Zhang Huan¡¯s daughter should not have been mistreated. Because when Zhang Huan introduced his daughter, his eyes and attitude were full of affection and love. Besides, if she is an unfavored daughter, with the kind of ¡®where there is a stepmother, there will be a stepfather¡¯, Zhang Huan probably will not bring her there. Zhang Huan brought a daughter of this age to this kind of occasion, obviously he brought a child to meet the world. It really doesn¡¯t look like it. Her hair, makeup, and clothing are exquisite. If she was treated badly by her stepmother, you will always see some flaws in these details. She didn¡¯t have it on her body, and it was obvious that at least there was no grievance in material terms. In terms of temperament, people who are often bullied will cringe or be gloomy when they see others, and neither does she. The indifference in her eyes made her look a bit more mature than her peers, and there is a kind of alienation that strangers shouldn¡¯t approach, which gives people an intuitive impression of ¡®she is not easy to bully¡¯ at first glance. Yue Song was relieved. He took his cellphone back, looked at the photo again, moved his finger, and clicked on the ¡®Delete¡¯ button. ¡°Hey, why would you delete it?¡± Xue Xintong smiled, ¡°She¡¯ll turn 18 in a blink of an eye, and it¡¯s going to be fast.¡± ¡°Those who play and raise young ones are all perverts.¡± Yue Song was unmoved, ¡°I¡¯m not like them.¡± After speaking, he clicked on ¡®Confirm¡¯ button. Zhang Yansheng¡¯s maternal uncle called Zhang Huan: ¡°The children are on vacation, so I want to take Yanyan out to play with them. Dongdong hadn¡¯t seen his sister for a long time.¡± Her uncle lives in S City, and he came to see Zhang Yansheng once two months ago. It¡¯s a holiday now, and their family is going to travel, and her uncle wants Zhang Yansheng to go with them. After all, according to her uncle¡¯s understanding, Zhang Huan, the father, doesn¡¯t care much about his children. Zhang Huan greeted her uncle enthusiastically, checked her aunt¡¯s health, cared about her cousin¡¯s test scores, and then resolutely rejected her uncle. ¡°We also have arrangements to travel and the whole family will go together. If Yanyan is not there, her younger brother and sister will not be happy.¡± When her uncle came to visit last time, he did not have any contact with Zhang Heling and Zhang Shuocheng. He did not know that the relationship between Zhang Yansheng and her younger brother and sister was very different from before. When he heard Zhang Huan say this, he was so angry that he was full of smoke. When facing Zhang Yansheng, of course, he had to persuade his niece not to take Liang Yingying to heart, but to live her own life. But Zhang Huan was a bastard who made illegitimate children when his sister was still alive, so her uncle always hated him. If it weren¡¯t for the niece who was still at Zhang¡¯s house, her uncle would never have spoken to Zhang Huan again. After being rejected by Zhang Huan, his uncle called Zhang Yansheng directly: ¡°If you want to come, your uncle will pick you up. Let¡¯s just ignore your father.¡± Zhang Yansheng heard that her uncle was angry. She comforted her uncle for a long time with a gentle voice, but she did not agree to go with him. After all, her uncle has his own home. Who doesn¡¯t want his family to be neat and tidy? It¡¯s always awkward to have an outsider. Moreover, her uncle originally thought about taking her on holiday trips because he felt that Zhang Huan was not good enough for her. If she agrees, wouldn¡¯t it even confirm that Zhang Huan treats her badly? She deliberated for a while and said, ¡°My dad has been preparing for a long time and he will wait for our holiday to take us out to play.¡± Her uncle said, ¡°I don¡¯t want that woman to make you angry and you won¡¯t be happy to play.¡± Zhang Yansheng said, ¡°My dad said not to take her, only me and my younger brother and sister. He knew that it was impossible for me and the person surnamed Liang to get together.¡± Her uncle was surprised, he raised his voice and asked, ¡°Really?¡± Zhang Yansheng said with certainty: ¡°He said it himself. Besides, if he doesn¡¯t count what he says, it¡¯s a big deal for me not to go, and he can¡¯t force me. However, I think he will do what he says.¡± Her uncle was keenly aware that the relationship between Zhang Yansheng and Zhang Huan had obviously been greatly repaired compared to before. Her uncle must be willing to let Zhang Yansheng and Zhang Huan get along well. After all, they are father and daughter. Zhang Huan is the key determinant of how much assets Zhang Yansheng can get in the future. Her uncle stopped persuading her to go with them and said, ¡°You have fun then.¡± Zhang Yansheng said softly: ¡°Definitely. You have fun with aunt and Dongdong too.¡± After hanging up the call, the smile on her face disappeared, she snorted, and went downstairs to find Zhang Huan. She threw her cellphone which almost hit Zhang Huan¡¯s face. She asked aggressively: ¡°What did you say to my uncle which made him unhappy?¡± Zhang Huan was aggrieved: ¡°Nothing, I¡¯m so polite to elder brother, so how can I upset him?¡± Zhang Yansheng¡¯s eyes were full of disbelief. Zhang Huan was even more aggrieved: ¡°Your uncle wants to take you out to play. During this long holiday, every family goes out clean and orderly. Although your mother is gone, I, your father, is still here! How can you disturb the three-person world of your uncle and aunt? Besides, it¡¯s not that you don¡¯t understand what your uncle means. Your uncle always secretly thinks that I am not good to you. When did Dad wrong you? Look at how much pocket money you have, it has to be 10 times more than that of Dongdong! No, I don¡¯t think that it¡¯s about 10 times!¡± He was still very angry, feeling that he had been wronged and suffered a great grievance. Zhang Yansheng rubbed her forehead. ¡°My uncle, he has never said in front of me that you are not good.¡± She declared, ¡°Not only did he not, every time he mentioned you, he persuaded me to get along with you.¡± ¡°I know, I know.¡± Zhang Huan hurriedly said, ¡°He¡¯s my elder brother-in-law, I understand. There is nothing to say about his character, and he will definitely not do that kind of thing that speaks ill behind someone¡¯s back. It¡¯s just that¡­ I can¡¯t help but worry about it.¡± Seeing Zhang Yansheng¡¯s fierce eyes, he hurriedly said, ¡°I¡¯m not worrying about it, I care about you! But didn¡¯t Dad arrange a trip too? Dad told you a few days in advance. You can¡¯t leave Dad, Hehe, and Shuoshuo halfway, and run to your uncle, right? How should I say it, we are a family, ah!¡± Zhang Yansheng breathed a sigh of relief speechlessly, and asked, ¡°Then, did you arrange something for your little wife?¡± Zhang Huan immediately stated: ¡°I have arranged it, and she will leave tomorrow!¡± ¡°?¡± Zhang Yansheng said, ¡°Where is she going?¡± Liang Yingying will go to T Country. Zhang Huan asked the secretary to arrange air tickets and hotels for her, and paid for her to invite a few younger sisters to travel together. This gave Liang Yingying a lot of face in front of her younger sisters, and all she heard along the way were envious compliments from her girlfriends. But she didn¡¯t know that as soon as she set off in the morning, Zhang Huan called up the two small children and told them: ¡°The aunts will help you pack your luggage and prepare summer clothes, and we will take the plane tonight. We are going to Indian¡­ Ocean~¡± Zhang Heling cheered. Zhang Shuocheng pouted: ¡°I¡¯m going to ski!¡± Zhang Huan poked his forehead: ¡°You can ski next time. Let¡¯s enjoy the sun and the beach first!¡± The two younger ones went upstairs to pack their things, and Zhang Huan talked to Zhang Yansheng to take credit: ¡°I arranged it well, right?¡± But Zhang Yansheng didn¡¯t find this interesting, shook her head, and went upstairs. In the evening, Zhang Huan took his three children and Aunt Wang, who would take care of Zhang Shuocheng, and set off enthusiastically. Target: A certain island nation in the Indian Ocean. From K City, where the north wind is strong, to an island with a tropical climate. The sky is blue, the water color is turquoise, and the beach is delicate and milky. Zhang Huan stood up, took off his sunglasses, and said, ¡°I¡¯ll show you¡­¡± He raised his cellphone and pointed it into the water: ¡°Look, Hehe and Shuoshuo are thumping there. Yanyan¡­ Yanyan? Oh, she¡¯s floating there. An aunt is here, so don¡¯t worry. The three of them are good at swimming, and Shuoshuo can swim in the deep water. He is a kid with good physical strength, and I can¡¯t catch up with him when he runs. The aunt can also swim, so don¡¯t worry, see¡­ look at him.¡± The old lady Zhang was on the video call with him, watching the children having fun, and she rarely praised this stupid son: ¡°You finally look like a father.¡± Zhang Huan has a toothache. Why does everyone think he is not a good father? He raised his cellphone and yelled at the children: ¡°Say hello to Grandma!¡± Zhang Shuocheng yelled, ¡°Grandma! Look at me! Look at me!¡± He¡¯s fluttering in the water like a little seal. Zhang Huan chuckled and told the old lady: ¡°When his two sisters pressed him down to apply sunscreen to him, he screamed like a pig being killed.¡± He called out his daughters again: ¡°Hehe, Yanyan¨C¡° Zhang Heling waved her hand vigorously and shouted: ¡°Grandma!¡± Zhang Yansheng also raised her hand and waved at Zhang Huan. The weather was really pleasant, and she also showed a pleasant smile. ¡°That¡¯s right, you have to often go out with the children.¡± The old lady praised Zhang Huan in particular, ¡°Your arrangement is not bad this time.¡± Zhang Huan understood what this ¡®not bad¡¯ meant. He hung up the call and lay down on the recliner, the sun was peaceful, the breeze was peaceful, and the beach was peaceful. The eldest daughter is already slender, the youngest daughter is well-behaved and caring, and even the naughtiest youngest son looks very pleasing to the eye. Zhang Huan put on sunglasses and bathed in the sun. So peaceful! On the other side, Liang Yingying, the enviable Mrs. Zhang, who was in the limelight in front of the younger sisters, accidentally turned on her cellphone while playing and looked at her Moments. A middle-aged man like Zhang Huan doesn¡¯t even post pictures in Moments for private trips. Zhang Yansheng was not interested in this either. But elementary school students will! Zhang Heling¡¯s profile is full of sunshine, sandy beaches, and crystal-clear waters. A family of four seems to be clean and orderly, and does not violate the harmony. No one seems to mind that there should be a fifth person included. Liang Yingying felt nothing but black in her eyes and almost spewed a mouthful of old blood. CH 85 Some girlfriends saw that Liang Yingying¡¯s face was not right, and asked: ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± With her girlfriends, Liang Yingying is living as a human being who is a winner in life, and her human body cannot collapse. She turned off the phone screen and smiled forcibly: ¡°It¡¯s okay. There is nothing to visit in this shop, let¡¯s go to the next one.¡± Liang Yingying¡¯s next shopping spree was a bit crazy, which made her girlfriends speechless. At the dining table, they were extremely envious of Liang Yingying. ¡°Yingying, you¡¯ve been living a good life.¡± They said, ¡°It¡¯s not like us, we haven¡¯t settled ours yet.¡± Liang Yingying said falsely: ¡°I just walked one step faster. Everyone can definitely have a chance. It¡¯s your turn next.¡± The girlfriends sighed and one of them said: ¡°I didn¡¯t know that the sky was thick before, that¡¯s what I thought so. As the days passed, and I got older day by day, I realized that it was not that easy. You are still amazing.¡± The pride dissipated the previous suffocation, and Liang Yingying felt much more comfortable in her chest. People really have to find happiness from others. A girlfriend said: ¡°If I go back home for the Chinese New Year this time, I don¡¯t plan to come back. The family introduced me to a blind date, the little owner of a small restaurant, and I plan to go there and be a little boss.¡± It sounds good to say ¡®boss¡¯ and ¡®madam boss¡¯, but this kind of small restaurant, especially in a small place like her hometown, is equivalent to accepting her fate and going home to live a poor life in the eyes of Liang Yingying¡¯s group of girlfriends. ¡°What else can I do?¡± This girlfriend said, ¡°I am older than you all, and I am 35 now this year. I¡¯m getting a little stiff in the face with hyaluronic acid. A big boss said that I was laughing so unnaturally one day. Let me tell you, I was almost able to catch him, but guess what? He was snatched away by a 23-year-old girl!¡± ¡°Bachelor degree! A college student! Tell me, if you are a college student, you work hard but you think that it¡¯s still not okay, you read all the books for nothing, then you¡¯d come and grab a rice bowl from us?¡± ¡°I went back and took a look in the mirror that day, and my heart was really cold. Look at the little girls now, they are younger than us, more beautiful than us, and more educated than us. Why do they want to grab from others? Can I use my wrinkles to rob back? Forget it, forget it, while you haven¡¯t completely become an old grandma, hurry home and find an honest man to marry. It¡¯s not too late to give birth, and I¡¯m afraid that I won¡¯t be able to give birth later. Elderly mothers are no joke.¡± When she said this, the atmosphere became depressed. Because among these people, Liang Yingying is still the youngest, just 30 this year. The others are all over 30 years old. At this age, some women ride the wind and waves, and some women are old and yellow. Liang Yingying had already gone ashore, and it didn¡¯t hurt to stand and talk: ¡°Why are you so sad? Don¡¯t you have a man in your hands that you can hold?¡± Her girlfriend, ¡°You think everyone is as lucky as you are. If you say that you have a child, you will have a child. If you want a son, you will have a son. If you deserve to die, you will be on the top. Do you know that I have a sister? Her name is Ami. I told her about you. She thought that you were very good. She quietly manipulated things and became pregnant. She wanted to trap the man. But guess what happened?¡± Liang Yingying and her girlfriends all looked sideways: ¡°The man wouldn¡¯t deny it, right?¡± ¡°It¡¯s was fine if he just denied it.¡± The girlfriend said, ¡°But my sister almost died.¡± This Ami imitated Liang Yingying and became pregnant with a man¡¯s child. After a showdown with the man, he disappeared. Immediately after that, his mother brought her bodyguards to the door, directly pressed her and went to the hospital to get an abortion. After Ami was detained, she wanted to contact the man again, but found that she had been blocked. Then two days later, she was still bleeding and getting worse, and she fainted before she saw the doctor in that hospital. She was bleeding heavily, and she was admitted to the ICU, and her life was almost gone. After the rescue, the medical expenses were all paid by herself. When she returned to the rental house, the landlord said that the rent had expired, and the account used to pay the rent hasn¡¯t received any money deposit. The units there were used by the men to hide their beauties as their golden house. It was the men¡¯s happy house. It was located in a high-grade apartment, and the rent was expensive. Without the financial support of a man, Ami couldn¡¯t afford it alone, so she had to move out first and borrow money from the other sisters in the building. ¡°Finally, someone introduced her to a boyfriend recently, so she had a place to live again.¡± Her girlfriend said. ¡°Isn¡¯t that great? Men are like this. They come and go, and someone can spend money on them.¡± Liang Yingying said. ¡°What?¡± Her girlfriend said, ¡°The newly found one is 68 years old and she doesn¡¯t know when he will die. Ami still has to serve him all day long and late at night. Oh, the old man is so disgusting, she said, he looks like a Shar-Pei dog when she takes off his clothes. Oh, it¡¯s disgusting even if you just think about it. With such a comparison, a fat man now is considered as a lady-killer.¡± There is no happiness without contrast. Zhang Huan is not yet 50, he is still in his prime, he looks handsome, and his figure is well-managed. Neat and tidy, he is also a Confucian merchant with fashionable clothes. The height of Liang Yingying¡¯s life can be said to have crushed all these girlfriends. In fact, she had expected this situation of gradually losing the favor of men after getting older, she had expected it a few years ago. It¡¯s just that the past few years of being Mrs. Zhang have gone smoothly, and gradually put the sense of living in peace of mind behind her. She looked at these girlfriends who sighed for where the future lay, and kept telling herself: You are already doing well, be content with it! It¡¯s just that she is 30 years old now, will it be like this from now on? Deep in her heart, she can¡¯t help but feel empty and panicked¡­ When Zhang Huan¡¯s ¡®family of four¡¯ happily returned to K City, Liang Yingying had already returned before them. When Zhang Heling saw her mother, she excitedly told her, ¡°Mom, we have gone to an island in the Indian Ocean, and it¡¯s fun¡­¡± The little mouth is like a machine gun and finally said, ¡°It would be great if we could go out together next time!¡± Liang Yingying resisted the urge to tear this stupid daughter¡¯s mouth, and said with a smile: ¡°Really, you were not naughty right, it¡¯s hard for Dad to take care of you alone.¡± With that said, seeing that Zhang Huan had handed the luggage to an aunt and started to untie his coat, she hurried over to catch his coat. She didn¡¯t even dare to ask, ¡°Why did you go out and play without telling me?¡±, she just smiled and asked him if he had eaten on the road, whether he wanted to take a shower or something. Zhang Yansheng only glanced at her and walked past her. In this family, there has been a new pattern of status and situation. Liang Yingying bullied Zhang Yansheng at her young age, and the era of stepping on Zhang Yansheng to be Mrs. Zhang happily has passed. Zhang Huan stretched out his waist and said: ¡°It¡¯s home.¡± Seeing that Zhang Yansheng had already ascended the stairs, he shouted: ¡°Yanyan, it¡¯s time to start preparing for the New Year¡¯s goods!¡± Zhang Yansheng replied, ¡°I¡¯m exhausted¡± and went upstairs. Zhang Heling asked, ¡°Dad, are you going to buy firecrackers and fireworks?¡± In ancient times, preparing New Year¡¯s goods was mainly to take advantage of the Chinese New Year to eat two bites that were not usually eaten, and then make new clothes. Now, in buying New Year¡¯s goods, the main things are firecrackers and fireworks for good fortune. Zhang Shuocheng became excited at the moment, and rushed over and hugged Zhang Huan¡¯s arm: ¡°Dad, I¡¯m going to buy fireworks too!¡± Zhang Heling also said: ¡°Me too¡­¡± Zhang Huan laughed loudly. The aunts received big red envelopes at the end of the year, and they all went home for the New Year. When Aunt Luo left, Zhang Yansheng also gave her a red envelope alone. Aunt Luo kept pushing it back: ¡°Why would a kid like you give a red envelope.¡± Zhang Yansheng stuck it to her: ¡°I¡¯m giving it in behalf of my mother!¡± Aunt Luo squeezed the thick red envelope and said with emotion: ¡°You grew up in a blink of an eye.¡± On New Year¡¯s Eve, Zhang Yu and Zhang Huan took their family to the old lady¡¯s place. The chef and aunts at the old lady¡¯s place are also on vacation, and the old lady is the only one left in the huge house. Fortunately, the two sons came with a family of nine, large and small. Including the old lady, she brought together a family of ten, which was lively. The meals were all New Year¡¯s meals ordered in advance from the restaurant, but how could there be no dumplings for the New Year? A large family gathered around Nakajima in the kitchen and wrapped the dumplings together. Among so many people, Liang Yingying turned out to make the best dumplings, even the old lady can¡¯t wrap a dumpling well. The others are simply playing with dough. On this occasion, Liang Yingying is very knowledgeable about current affairs. Knowing that others don¡¯t like to see her, she talks less and does more things. She made the dumplings neatly, and the dumplings were well wrapped, one by one, like ingots. It is rare for the old lady to praise her: ¡°The wrapping is good.¡± Liang Yingying was flattered. Immediately afterwards, Zhang Huan, her dearest husband said, ¡°She can do this too.¡± Liang Yingying: ¡°¡­¡± Her noble sister-in-law echoed: ¡°It¡¯s better for people to know some things, instead of not knowing anything.¡± ¡°¡­¡± Liang Yingying wanted to say something with a bellyful of mother¡¯s criticism, but she could only smile flatteringly, ¡°Sister-in-law is right.¡± Zhang Yu¡¯s wife smiled slightly and did not talk directly to her at all. Zhang Yansheng had already seen that the corners of the old lady¡¯s mouth twitched slightly. Turning her eyes again, she saw the smiling gaze of her cousin, Zhang Qi. Zhang Yansheng was speechless. To be honest, although she knew that her aunt and cousin had some competition that was not hostile to her, she still liked her aunt¡¯s way of speaking more than before. Zhang Yu¡¯s wife has always bullied Liang Yingying outright. When talking to Zhang Yansheng, she also paid a little attention to her speaking skills, but to Liang Yingying¡­ she was from a good background, she was rich, and she still occupied the status of her sister-in-law. She didn¡¯t need to go into any circles at all, and she suppressed Liang Yingying through and through. Anyway, the old lady couldn¡¯t look up to Liang Yingying, so she didn¡¯t care at all. Compared with this kind of blatant oppression, Zhang Yansheng felt that when her cousin Zhang Qi talked, the tea tasted too strong, and there was always a sense of petty family spirit. It was strange, she was also born with a golden spoon. How can she develop such a character? Zhang Yansheng felt that her grandmother would never like the smell of tea. In her previous life, Zhang Qi was chosen by her to be the heir and took care of her personally. She wonders if she had helped her cousin break the smell of tea. Turning her eyes again, Zhang Shuocheng was still playing with the dough heartlessly, but Zhang Heling raised her head with a confused expression ¡ª she had already faintly realized that there was something wrong in this conversation, but she didn¡¯t know what was wrong nor the root cause. It is really a matter of indifference that people cannot make choices when they are reborn. Zhang Heling felt her sister¡¯s gaze and looked at Zhang Yansheng. Confusion was written in those dark eyes. Zhang Yansheng smiled at her faintly. The elder sister¡¯s smile diluted the confusion and anxiety in the little girl¡¯s heart. She raised her hand to show Zhang Yansheng the dough in her palm: ¡°Sister, do you think I squeezed it right? Does it look the same?¡± That thing doesn¡¯t look like a dumpling at all. What kind of animal is it anyway? Zhang Yansheng said decisively: ¡°Yes!¡± Zhang Heling became happy and put aside all those little confusions. The old lady on the other side of Nakajima asked Zhang Qi about the arrangements she had for the New Year. During the winter vacation, Zhang Qi did have some arrangements for going out. The old lady nodded, and did not intend to continue. When Zhang Huan heard it, he became very awake, smiled and asked, ¡°Does Mom have any arrangements?¡± After he said this, Zhang Qi realized that her grandmother didn¡¯t want to know what arrangements she had, but wanted to arrange one for her, and she didn¡¯t realize this just now. She hurriedly said, ¡°Grandma, what¡¯s the matter? My arrangement is not that important. I will follow your arrangements first.¡± The old lady felt that her granddaughter was not stupid at all and said, ¡°After the New Year, I want to take Qiqi to listen to a financial forum.¡± Zhang Qi is only a freshman in college, and it doesn¡¯t matter if she understands or if she¡¯s not interested. What matters is the attitude expressed by the old lady. Both Zhang Yu and his wife¡¯s eyes lit up. Zhang Yu¡¯s wife hurriedly said, ¡°Let her go with you, she has nothing to do, let her make an appointment with her classmates another day.¡± Zhang Qi also actively stated: ¡°Grandma, my business is not important, so I will go with you. I have heard of this forum before, and I just want to see and look around.¡± After Zhang Qi finished speaking, Zhang Huan also said, ¡°It¡¯s very good, very good, children have to go out and see the world more.¡± Zhang Yansheng was thinking about her cousin¡¯s affairs, why her father was so enthusiastic, so she saw her father turn his head to look at her, smiled and said, ¡°Yanyan, you should go together with them, listen more, and see more. It wouldn¡¯t hurt if you go.¡± Her father¡¯s eyes were bright, and his eyes were shining brightly. Afraid that Zhang Yansheng would not understand what he meant, he raised his eyebrows and gave her a wink. Zhang Yansheng: ¡°¡­¡± Zhang Yansheng really didn¡¯t know that her father¡¯s expression could be so smart. CH 86 Zhang Yansheng didn¡¯t expect that she and her father would even have a time when they were in harmony. There is no need for Zhang Huan to give her a wink, she already understood what he meant before his voice fell. The old man is fighting for a chance for her. Naturally, it may be that he has a high regard for her, or he may simply want her and her cousin to compete for favor in front of the old lady. Of course, a family with a net worth of 100 million yuan like them also has family ties and friendship. For example, Zhang Huan and Zhang Yu actually have a good relationship as brothers. There are also consistent interests from the outside world. If one party has difficulties, the other party will definitely reach out, and the two brothers will help each other. But also, because the net worth is too large, competition is inevitable. Compared with the gossip of some families that Zhang Yansheng has heard of seeing blood and death, the Zhang family¡¯s fight is much gentler, not to mention tearing their faces, not even having ill intentions. At most, everyone is fighting to please the old lady. The family style is quite positive, a pretty good one. When Zhang Huan heard that his mother wanted to help his elder brother¡¯s daughter, he immediately thought about fighting for his own daughter, too. Before Zhang Yansheng could respond, her aunt had already spoken: ¡°Yanyan is still young, what does she know? When the time comes, she will just run around. How can Mom have the energy to look after her? Don¡¯t make trouble.¡± The old lady didn¡¯t express her opinion, but only cast her eyes over. Zhang Yansheng knew that the old lady knew that she would never cause her trouble, so the reason why the old lady didn¡¯t take a stand was probably because she really felt that she was still young. Zhang Qi also said: ¡°There is nothing fun about this kind of forum. It is just a meeting and listening to a lot of people talking and communicating. Yanyan, let me tell you, it¡¯s boring.¡± Obviously, she just said that she really wanted to attend this forum, and now, she¡¯s saying that the forum is so boring. Is it interesting to be so duplicitous in front of the old lady? Zhang Yansheng was a little impatient. If Zhang Qi dared to come face-to-face just like how her mother stepped on Liang Yingying, Zhang Yansheng would still be able to look up at her. But Zhang Qi secretly wanted to fool her and had to act like she was doing it for her own good, which made her very sick. ¡°If Sister Qiqi finds it boring¡­¡± Zhang Yansheng said directly to the old lady, ¡°¡­then I will accompany you. I accompanied my dad to a charity event hosted by Director Xue recently, which I found very interesting. There are many things that you would never be exposed to in school. If you go out for a walk and have a look, you can really learn new things.¡± The corners of Zhang Huan¡¯s mouth curled, and then he forcibly restrained himself. He knew that his daughter must have her mother¡¯s genes! Look at that cleverness, just like her mother. When Zhang Qi said ¡®boring¡¯, Zhang Yu and his wife knew that the stupid girl had said the wrong thing. But they didn¡¯t expect that Zhang Yansheng, who used to be stupid and stubborn, was now becoming more and more dexterous, and she actually choked the stupid girl in their own family with her words. Fortunately, the stupid girl was still stunned. When she was anxious to explain to her grandmother, her second uncle had already spoken: ¡°You should both go, your grandma is getting older, so I am counting on you two little ones to take care of your grandma together!¡± Zhang Yu¡¯s wife breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that even though her niece was a bit annoying, her brother-in-law was quite kind. She also hurriedly changed her words: ¡°Yes, the two of you should go together, both of you can take care of Mom.¡± It seemed that she had completely forgotten that she had just said that Zhang Yansheng will ¡®make trouble¡¯ if she also went with them. Liang Yingying was holding a plate of dumplings and was about to put them on the cooking table next to her, when she turned her back to the group of people, she rolled her eyes. Although Zhang Yu¡¯s wife said that, in the end, the old lady had to make a decision. Everyone looked at the old lady. The old lady smiled and nodded: ¡°Then let¡¯s go together.¡± Zhang Yu¡¯s wife breathed a sigh of relief. Seeing that Zhang Yansheng¡¯s face did not change color, she was generous, but Zhang Qi¡¯s face showed a look of grievance. She secretly hates it in her heart! The silly girl she gave birth to has never been comparable to Zhang Yansheng since she was a child. In front of the old lady, she will always be held down by her cousin who is three years younger than her, and she will never be able to please the old lady. She didn¡¯t know how many times she had scolded or taught her, but she was still so insensitive. She doesn¡¯t look like a child she gave birth to. But Zhang Yansheng is only a freshman in high school, and she can also go¡­ Zhang Yu¡¯s wife spoke again and said with a smile: ¡°Since Yanyan is also going, why don¡¯t you let Xiao Lin join¡­¡± Unexpectedly, before she finished speaking, her son, Zhang Lin, already hurriedly said, ¡°I¡¯m not going, I¡¯m not going! What am I going to do as a high school student in that kind of forum? I also made an appointment with my classmates to ski!¡± Zhang Lin is only one year older than Zhang Yansheng, and he is in his sophomore year in high school this year. He is a real high school student, and it is normal that he is not interested in this kind of economic forums and financial forums. Zhang Yansheng is different. As a reborn person, she is older mentally than Zhang Qi. In her heart, she felt that Zhang Qi could do things, and she also had the right to compete on an equal footing with her. Not to mention that her own father is creating opportunities for her. One can already make the comparison, Zhang Lin, who is one year older, is more childish, while Zhang Yansheng, who is one year younger, is more mature. Zhang Yu¡¯s wife was so angry with her son that she was dizzy! Her son is obviously the eldest grandson of the Zhang family! But like his sister, since he was a child, he has always been less favored than Zhang Yansheng in front of the old lady. Later on, her sister-in-law passed away and Zhang Yansheng was tormented by her stepmother and became increasingly stubborn and extreme. She became more and more alienated from the old lady. On one hand, she felt sorry for Zhang Yansheng, and on the other hand, she was also a little ecstatic ¡ª after being suppressed by that capable and beloved sister-in-law for so many years, it was finally time for her to stand up! Who knows that until now, her son and daughter are still inferior to Zhang Yansheng! Zhang Yu¡¯s wife glared at Zhang Lin with anger. Zhang Lin was inexplicable and felt that he had not said anything wrong, and his grandma hadn¡¯t asked him to go either. Moreover, the three of them are all women, he is a man, so he doesn¡¯t want to go to any forum with them. ¡°Forget it, it¡¯s fine if he doesn¡¯t want to go.¡± The old lady said a joke, ¡°Why else would I take such a child? Are we going to a kindergarten?¡± In fact, it is a joke that is not funny. The ¡®sensible¡¯ adults were about to join in with a smile, who knew that this joke had somehow amused Zhang Shuocheng. He straightened his stomach and laughed: ¡°Kindergarten! Hahahaha, my sister is going to kindergarten! Hahahahaha!¡± He laughed stupidly, which made the adults really laugh as well. This atmosphere was brought over, and the matter was settled. The people who were surging in the dark tide just now regained their intimacy, and they prepared to eat dumplings with a smile. Only Liang Yingying was so angry that she couldn¡¯t wait to twist Zhang Shuocheng twice, trying to tell him not to laugh like an idiot in front of these people and embarrass her! All the juniors stayed with the old lady Zhang, and a large family of people waited for the new year together. When the bell rang at 12 o¡¯clock, Zhang Lin rushed out with Zhang Shuocheng first! Ready to set off fireworks! The old lady hurriedly instructed her two sons: ¡°Hurry up, go and look after them, don¡¯t let them fall!¡± Zhang Yu and Zhang Huan both followed out cheerfully. K City stipulates that cannon and bamboo fireworks can be set off on the 15th of the first month. When the women put on their coats and came to the courtyard, a large set of firecrackers was crackling in the courtyard. The sky in K City quickly became beautiful. There are constantly fireworks exploding in the air, colorful and shifting into different colors. The old year is over, and the new year has come. Let the past stay in the past. Zhang Heling looked up and saw her sister¡¯s face when the fireworks exploded. Although there was no expression, it looked like a bunch of colorful clouds. Her sister¡¯s eyes reflected the blooming fireworks, her eyes were deep and colorful. How can she be so good-looking?! How can she look as good as her sister? The little girl fell into contemplation and found a difficult problem for herself at the beginning of the new year. The New Year is a busy holiday, and relatives celebrate the New Year with each other. Zhang Huan and Zhang Yu¡¯s aunts and cousins came to visit the old lady, while the brothers, Zhang Huan and Zhang Yu, went to celebrate the New Year with their aunts and cousins too. Various relatives took turns to come, and the taste of the new year was full. On the sixth day after the new year, it was a family banquet hosted by the old lady and her aunt. Not only the relatives surnamed Zhang who came, but also the old lady¡¯s maiden¡¯s family and her aunt¡¯s husband¡¯s family also came. At the end of the party, the relatives felt that Zhang Yansheng had grown up and matured, Zhang Heling had become generous, and even the naughty child, Zhang Shuo, had (been forced) to behave a lot. The unpleasant feeling that had been entrenched in Zhang Huan¡¯s chest for the past two years suddenly became unobstructed, and he even felt comfortable while breathing. Holidays always pass quickly, and the long holidays are over. With more than enough interest in the holidays, people reluctantly start from nine to five. On the 13th day of the first lunar month, the old lady Zhang took Zhang Qi and Zhang Yansheng to a certain ancient water town to participate in the forum that was held there and also to celebrate the Lantern Festival there. On the 14th day of the first lunar month, Zhang Huan was still at home. No matter how severe the holiday syndrome is, employees had to drag themselves to work, but the boss didn¡¯t have to. Zhang Huan wanted to rest for two more days. He yawned and went downstairs. The two little ones were already sitting at the dining table. An aunt brought him coffee and toast. Zhang Huan took a bite of the buttered toast and watched the news, listening to Zhang Heling coldly saying to Zhang Shuocheng in his ears: ¡°What time do you have to do your homework every day and what time can you play? You know it in your heart. Don¡¯t waste my time and repeat it again.¡± Zhang Huan raised his eyes and glanced at his little daughter, thinking that something was weird, but he couldn¡¯t tell. He lowered his gaze to continue watching the news, put down the toast with his other hand, and grabbed his coffee. Zhang Shuocheng writhed in the chair like a fried dough twist. ¡°She¡¯s not at home anyway, she¡¯ll be back in a few days! Her absence doesn¡¯t count! I¡¯ll do my homework in the afternoon. I will definitely do it! Just let me play first~¡± The last tone was played several times, and the remaining tone curled up. This was for fun and he started to be coquettish with his sister. Zhang Huan brought the coffee cup to his lips and raised his eyes. Seeing Zhang Heling¡¯s eyebrows lifted, she sneered and said, ¡°So you will be lawless if elder sister is not around, huh? You can try and maybe elder sister will come back with a ferule to beat you.¡± The blood relationship is really amazing. Zhang Heling and Zhang Yansheng declared that they are only half related by blood, but from Zhang Huan¡¯s point of view, that eyelid twitching movement, the sneer at the corners of her mouth¡­ was just like a little Zhang Yansheng! Zhang Huan ¡°puffed¡± and spurted out a mouthful of coffee, with earth-shattering choke: ¡°Ahem, ahem, ahem, ahem, ahem, ahem, ahem, ahem, ahem, ahem, ahem, ahem, ahem, ahem!¡± The two little ones were taken aback. Zhang Heling had no momentum in an instant, and turned into the soft and sweet little girl again. She jumped out of the chair and helped her father diligently pat his back: ¡°Dad, Dad, are you okay?¡± Zhang Huan finally got his anger down, and his little daughter asked him with concern if he was okay. He looked at the soft and cute little daughter in front of him, his eyes were difficult to express and his mood was very complicated. Early in the morning, why are you doing cosplay as your sister? It¡¯s so weird and scary! CH 87 ¡°Ah!¡± Zhang Heling was a little shy, holding her face, ¡°Dad, did you see it?¡± Then she suppressed her shyness with excitement, and kept asking, ¡°Then do you think I look like my sister? Do I look like her?¡± Zhang Huan felt a toothache: ¡°Why are you copying her? If you don¡¯t learn something good¡­¡± ¡°The way my sister speaks is so cool!¡± Zhang Heling had a ¡®you don¡¯t understand¡¯ expression on her face, despising Zhang Huan¡¯s aesthetics as an old man. Zhang Huan persuasively said: ¡°Talk to your brother nicely. Don¡¯t show him that face. He is still young. You have to make him feel the warmth of his sister, okay?¡± ¡°That won¡¯t work!¡± Zhang Heling is very experienced, ¡°If you speak nicely, then Shuoshuo will not listen at all! If you act like my sister, then he will be obedient! If you don¡¯t believe me, go and try it!¡± If you can do it, then go ahead and do it! Zhang Huan didn¡¯t need to try to know. Zhang Shuocheng bullied the soft and was afraid of the strong. In front of the husband and wife, he dared to lie on the ground and howl. In front of his eldest sister, he lowered his eyebrows and will do whatever they wanted him to do. ¡°¡­¡± Zhang Huan had nothing to say, ¡°Okay.¡± ¡­¡­ The financial forum is not as boring as Zhang Yansheng thought. Those who can speak are big guys whose photos can be seen or names can be mentioned by the media. The content of their speeches is very fulfilling, not empty at all, and even very interesting. Their judgments of the present and predictions of the future are based on years of industry experience and foreseeable technological developments in the past. Even some topics will cause debate among the big guys, which sounds very interesting. She just couldn¡¯t turn her head. But as she turned her head, she saw her cousin, Zhang Qi, holding a pen and notebook, taking notes. Zhang Yansheng: ¡°???¡± Zhang Yansheng didn¡¯t know the meaning of taking notes. They have neither a project to operate nor a company to operate. To put it bluntly, the two of them are here to gain insights. What¡¯s more, the speeches of these big guys are not considered industry platforms. The necessary rules are actually very subjective. Even if it sounds interesting and feels correct now, it may be proved wrong by reality in the future. But Zhang Yansheng knew that Zhang Qi¡¯s action showed a serious attitude of studying. If the forum site was a class in the school, her cousin would take the pen, draw a line between the two of them, and tell the teacher happily, who is the scumbag and who is the bully. In the eyes of her cousin, that teacher is probably their grandmother. The lunch is a buffet in the hotel. Zhang Yansheng went and found that all the set-up has large tables, and many people can sit at one table. In this way, everyone has to eat at the same table with many strangers. Zhang Yansheng quickly discovered that the tables were full of social atmosphere. The topics of those industries were not suspended because of lunch. These people who were strangers soon began to communicate and discuss at the dining table, as well as selectively exchange business cards. A middle-aged man made a well-founded speech with a lot of dry goods, which was recognized by everyone, and immediately someone took out a business card: ¡°Let¡¯s exchange business cards.¡± Even Zhang Yansheng¡¯s grandmother exchanged words with that person. The adults were eating and chatting, but her cousin, Zhang Qi, was staring closely at her grandma¡¯s face. If their grandma listened attentively, she would stop her chopsticks and make a listening gesture. If their grandma didn¡¯t care, she would quickly take a few bites. Zhang Yansheng didn¡¯t have such a big burden. She was already full by the time Zhang Qi was halfway through eating. Wiping her mouth, she said to the old lady Zhang, ¡°I¡¯m going to the bathroom¡±, then she got up and left. When she went to the women¡¯s bathroom, she was startled when she opened the door ¡ª there was a person sitting on the ground. The woman sitting on the ground looks like in her 20s, and she is quite young. With pretty short hair, professional suits, and high heels, she is a person who came to participate in the forum at first glance. Seeing someone pushing the door open, she first shouted: ¡°Be careful of water on the ground!¡± It seemed that she had slipped. Zhang Yansheng was reminded by her and when she saw the water on the ground, she stepped over it and asked, ¡°Are you okay?¡± The young lady frowned and grimaced, obviously something was hurting. She gritted her teeth and waved her hand, her face a little red: ¡°It¡¯s okay, I¡¯m okay, don¡¯t worry about me. I twisted my ankle a bit, and it should be okay if I move slowly.¡± Zhang Yansheng nodded, went to the toilet first, and came out to wash her hands afterwards. However, the short-haired young lady in the suit was still sitting on the ground. Zhang Yansheng took a piece of paper towel and wiped her hands, then squatted down and asked, ¡°Are you feeling better now?¡± The young lady took a hissy breath: ¡°It seems to be better, let me try.¡± She supported the ground and wanted to stand up, but Zhang Yansheng said, ¡°Your shoes are no good.¡± Of course, professional suits are paired with high heels, but they are still the kind of stiletto heels. It¡¯s just that the heel of one shoe and the body of the shoe are cracked, and it looks like it is about to fall off. The young lady took off the broken shoe from her foot, shook it, and pulled out the stiletto heel from it. ¡°There is no other way, so I have to do this.¡± As the young lady said that, she took off the other shoe, held the heel, imitated the plot of some TV series or advertisements, and broke it gracefully!¡± ¡­But it didn¡¯t break. Zhang Yansheng didn¡¯t hold back and laughed loudly. The young lady also laughed, and muttered, ¡°It should break just like the scene on the TV!¡± This big sister is so funny. Zhang Yansheng took the shoe from her hand, held the heel, and gently exerted force ¡ª with a ¡®click¡¯, she broke the heel off. The young lady exclaimed: ¡°You are so strong!¡± Zhang Yansheng returned the shoe to her: ¡°It will be uncomfortable to wear it, so hurry back and change into a new pair.¡± The young lady put on her shoes and said, ¡°I¡¯ll go back to the restaurant first, then I¡¯ll go back to the room to change when the lunch is over. I don¡¯t need to listen to the forum, but I can¡¯t delay lunch!¡± Zhang Yansheng remembered the frequently opened business card holders and the hands that stretched out to each other at the dinner table just now, and she was a little surprised. The young lady stood up on her own on the ground, and after trying to take a step, she ¡®hiss¡¯ in pain. ¡°It¡¯s a sprain, right?¡± Zhang Yansheng persuaded her, ¡°It¡¯s better to¡­¡± ¡°No, no, no!¡± The young lady interrupted her, ¡°I¡¯m fine, I can do it! I¡­¡± She gritted her teeth and took a step forward. Zhang Yansheng asked, ¡°Do you really have to go back to the restaurant?¡± ¡°I have to go back.¡± The young lady said, ¡°I finally did¡­ Oh, I¡¯ll go! Wait, I¡¯ll wait for the lunch to be over, then I will think of a way. But first, I really need to go back to the restaurant.¡± With that said, she took another step forward. Blame stubbornness. Zhang Yansheng couldn¡¯t stand it anymore, so she walked over and raised one of her arms on her shoulder: ¡°I¡¯ll help you.¡± The young lady said gratefully: ¡°Thank you¡­¡± Before the words were finished, this excessively young girl stretched out her arm to hold her waist and squeezed it with a bit force! Young lady: ¡°¡­¡± Her feet are off the ground! This, this is one-handed, right??? The young lady was shocked to be taken all the way to the restaurant by Zhang Yansheng. Zhang Yansheng asked, ¡°Which side are you sitting on?¡± ¡°Over there!¡± The young lady pointed in the direction, and finally returned to her senses, ¡°Why are you so strong? I¡¯m almost hanging on you!¡± She has to say that what the young lady said was actually the truth. Zhang Yansheng went there with the young lady, and after crossing many tables, the young lady suddenly said, ¡°It¡¯s fine here, I¡¯ll go there by myself.¡± Zhang Yansheng let her go, and she said gratefully: ¡°Thank you so much.¡± Zhang Yansheng said, ¡°You¡¯re welcome.¡± She glanced at her up and down, and asked, ¡°Can you really do it?¡± The young lady said jokingly: ¡°Even if I can¡¯t do it, I still have to do it.¡± Zhang Yansheng smiled. The young lady raised her hand to wave to her, and thanked her again: ¡°Then I will go now.¡± Zhang Yansheng didn¡¯t leave, but stood still and watched the young lady turn and walk towards a certain table. She tried to get out of her normal appearance, of course, her speed was much slower, and her body movements were stiff. Zhang Yansheng could see that she must be suffering from pain. She was quite stubborn, as if there was a great force driving her to do so. Zhang Yansheng found that when the young lady walked to the table and sat down, she looked completely different from just now. She was a funny and friendly young lady just now, but when she returned to the table, she had a certain aura and looked very calm and capable. A very standard workplace person. On that table, she was the youngest, and the others were all middle-aged or elderly. Zhang Yansheng heard those who were older say, ¡°Xiao Mo, we are discussing the projects you just mentioned. You can tell us more about it¡­¡± The big sister, known as ¡°Xiao Mo¡±, looked very focused and confident. When she spoke to them, she had a good command of her speech speed and tone. Zhang Yansheng remembered that there were similar people at their table, all talking about projects or something. Zhang Yansheng turned around and returned to their table. Most of the people seemed to be full, but they did not leave. Just like many other tables, everyone was still talking. And it has started from the overall development of the industry to specific projects. Several people, including Zhang Yansheng¡¯s grandma, listened intently, as if they were very interested. Zhang Yansheng returned to her seat and listened quietly. Until lunch was finally over, and there was still some time before the afternoon arrangements, the old lady Zhang said, ¡°Go back to the room and clean up.¡± This refers to gargling, combing their hair, and touching up their makeup. The three of them stood up, but Zhang Yansheng said, ¡°You go back first, I still have something to do.¡± Zhang Qi said, ¡°Don¡¯t run around and get lost. Can you find the venue later?¡± The tone of this speech seemed to be that Zhang Yansheng was an elementary school student. She also asked, ¡°Where are you going?¡± In fact, it¡¯s okay to just say it, but with that look¡­ Zhang Yansheng was not happy to say, perfunctorily: ¡°I¡¯ll just go to the lobby to buy something.¡± Zhang Qi looked like she was about to speak again, and her grandma spoke first: ¡°Go, you can go.¡± Zhang Qi didn¡¯t speak again. But when she was walking out with the old lady in her arms, Zhang Yansheng still heard a sentence: ¡°I really envy Yanyan. When she is young, she is energetic and runs around. Unlike me, my classmates say that my mental age is at least 10 years older than my appearance¡­¡± Isn¡¯t she tired of talking so much nonsense? Can¡¯t she just say directly that ¡¯Zhang Yansheng is ignorant and running around¡¯? Zhang Yansheng rolled her eyes, turned around, and walked in the other direction. Sure enough, as she expected, all the people from that table, where that big sister named Xiao Mo was, were all gone and she was the only one still sitting there. It must be because of her sore ankle, so she¡¯s so worried on how to leave from there. Xiao Mo was worried, and when she looked up and saw Zhang Yansheng, her mouth was so wide that she could swallow a duck egg: ¡°Why are you here again?¡± At this moment, she is not the calm and capable workplace person anymore, her eyes are wide open, which is particularly interesting. ¡°I would like to see how you could walk back by yourself.¡± Zhang Yansheng walked over with a smile and stretched out her hand. Xiao Mo was not polite this time, so she stood up and put her hand on her shoulder: ¡°Please, Hercules.¡± Zhang Yansheng asked, ¡°Go to the venue? Or?¡± ¡°Go back to the room first.¡± Xiao Mo said, ¡°I¡¯m staying on the 9th floor.¡± Zhang Yansheng easily carried Xiao Mo back to the 9th floor and sent her back to the room. On the way, Xiao Mo said, ¡°Can I take the liberty of asking your age?¡± Since a new year has arrived, then she will be one year older. Zhang Yansheng said, ¡°Sixteen.¡± Xiao Mo had a ¡®sure enough¡¯ look on her face: ¡°I knew it! I knew it! How young do you look? There are no blemishes on your skin at all!¡± Zhang Yansheng actually put on makeup deliberately, but being young means being young, which can¡¯t be covered at all. ¡°If you¡¯re 16, then you¡¯re still a high school student, right?¡± Xiao Mo asked, ¡°Are you here to attend the forum?¡± Zhang Yansheng said, ¡°I came with an adult from my family to gain some experience.¡± They were having some conversation, when Xiao Mo¡¯s cellphone rang as she opened the door of her room. She put her arms around Zhang Yansheng with one hand, and took out her cellphone with the other: ¡°Hello? Director Xie!¡± The room was an ordinary standard room. Zhang Yansheng carried her to the bed and put her on the edge of the bed. She was talking on the phone, and Zhang Yansheng couldn¡¯t leave without saying anything, so she held her arms aside and wanted to wait for her to finish the call and say goodbye to her before leaving. Obviously, the person on the phone has been urging her on something, and Xiao Mo has been pacifying that person: ¡°Well, I know, I know¡­ just waiting for the rice to be cooked¡­ It¡¯s useless to worry about this kind of thing¡­ Okay, I will do my best.¡± Finally, she hung up the call, she tugged at her hair and muttered, ¡°Oh, Leaving the Solar System, Leaving the Solar System¡­¡± Zhang Yansheng suddenly raised her eyes: ¡°What?¡± ¡°Oh, nothing, it¡¯s a project in my hand.¡± Xiao Mo said, ¡°There is a movie called¡¶Leaving the Solar System¡·.¡± ¡¶Leaving the Solar System¡·? Is it that one? The sci-fi movie that Xu Lichen pulled her and Wang Qian to accompany him to watch it 10 times was released during the Spring Festival of her senior year of high school? Zhang Yansheng and Wang Qian were both vomiting at that time. Xu Lichen watched it over and over again, looking for details over and over again, tirelessly. When she turned on her cellphone and computer that year, everyone from her friends list and Weibo were all posting information about this movie. With a box office of 3.9 billion yuan, that movie was the dark horse and became a big hit during the Spring Festival that year! CH 88 Enchantress12-15 minutes 28.02.2022 ¡°Big Sister, what do you do?¡± Zhang Yansheng asked, ¡°Do you work for a film company?¡± ¡°No, I am not.¡± Xiao Mo took out a business card and handed it to Zhang Yansheng with both hands. Zhang Yansheng also picked it up with both her hands. Qiwu Investment, Investment Director, Mo Lin. Mo Lin seemed to be around 25 years old or so. Zhang Yansheng said: ¡°Big Sister is already a director at such a young age? That¡¯s amazing.¡± Zhang Yansheng is only 16 years old, and she is still a high school student. She followed the adults to see the excitement. Mo Lin stopped playing tricks with her, and told the truth: ¡°Those are all just external titles, and everyone who takes out business cards are directors. In fact, my internal rank is only that of a manager.¡± ¡°That¡¯s still amazing.¡± Zhang Yansheng said, ¡°Then what exactly do you do? You¡¯re also making movies?¡± ¡°Oh, what do I do¡­¡± Mo Lin thought for a while, considering that Zhang Yansheng was just a child, she told her in as many simple words as possible, ¡°To simply put it, my job is¡­¡± She stretched out a hand: ¡°On one hand, my job is to find a project.¡± She stretched out another hand: ¡°On the other hand, my job is to find someone who has money in his hand, which is an investor.¡± ¡°Then¡­¡± she clasped her hands together, ¡°So, my job is to put them together to make this project work, and finally make money. The project, the investors, and me all got our shares.¡± ¡°So, does¡¶Leaving the Solar System¡·need an investor?¡± Zhang Yansheng asked, ¡°I heard that it was already filming.¡± Mo Lin was pleasantly surprised: ¡°Huh, you know?¡± Zhang Yansheng nodded: ¡°I have read the original work. The author is Dayang, right? The director, I remember that he is Xie¡­¡± ¡°Director Xie.¡± Mo Lin said, ¡°You really know.¡± Zhang Yansheng explained simply: ¡°Dayang has a blog. I remember that there were posts about these things in his blog.¡± Then, she made a detour and asked directly: ¡°So does this movie need people to invest money now? How much?¡± The air in the room changed slightly. Just now, Mo Lin and Zhang Yansheng still considered themselves as big sister and young sister, but when Zhang Yansheng asked ¡®how much¡¯, their identities changed, from natural people to social and professional people. Mo Lin¡¯s body language expressed this point. When she answered Zhang Yansheng, she sat up straight. ¡°The current estimated funding gap is 200 million yuan.¡± she said. Zhang Yansheng asked, ¡°If I remember correctly, they should have been filming for a year now, right? How much money have they spent?¡± This girl is very young, and her thinking logic is very clear. Mo Lin sat straighter: ¡°There is a total of 150 million yuan on the fund that has been invested so far.¡± Oh no, then your estimate is wrong, Big Sister. This movie costs more money than what you think. Zhang Yansheng knows how much the real cost of the movie will be in the end. This was the first time that Zhang Yansheng saw the dividends of being reborn, shining in front of her eyes. If God doesn¡¯t take it, then he is to blame. God has put a fortune before her eyes, so there is no reason not to reach out and take it. Zhang Yansheng said, ¡°I don¡¯t have that much money, I probably only have¡­¡± She estimated in her heart and said, ¡°A few million yuan.¡± Mo Lin is in this business. The investment in the projects they handle in this business often starts in 100-million yuan units. For a project of a few million, it is simply a small sum of money. But a few million is not a small amount of money for a teenager. Mo Lin asked carefully: ¡°Can I ask, where do your millions of funds come from¡­?¡± Zhang Yansheng stretched out her fingers one by one: ¡°Pocket money, New Year¡¯s Eve money, birthday red envelopes, when I was a kid, my dad gave money for my award certificates¡­ I spent a little of that money and I saved the rest.¡± Mo Lin covered her face and was deeply shocked. Zhang Yansheng smiled. ¡°By the way, my name is Zhang Yansheng, from K City.¡± She remembered that she hadn¡¯t introduced herself yet, ¡°I¡¯m still a student and I don¡¯t have a business card.¡± ¡­¡­ The afternoon forum has already started for half an hour. Zhang Qi glanced at the message on her cellphone and whispered, ¡°Grandma, Yanyan said she will come later in the afternoon.¡± Old lady Zhang let out a ¡°Oh¡± and said nothing. Zhang Qi glanced at the empty chair, swung her pen to write, and took notes carefully. Nearly half of the afternoon forum time passed, Zhang Yansheng arrived late and quietly sat down on her seat. Zhang Qi glared at her, then lowered her voice: ¡°Where did you go?¡± Zhang Yansheng shrugged: ¡°Something just happened¡­¡± Zhang Qi rolled her eyes and thought to herself, just in time, let their grandma see that she shouldn¡¯t have been brought in here. The old lady Zhang ¡°shushed¡± them, and the two girls quickly closed their mouths and listened to the big boss in front of them talking eloquently. The old lady Zhang glanced to the right and found her granddaughter struggling with writing. When she glanced to her left, although her second granddaughter arrived late, her expression was obviously very happy. She has always been cold-hearted, but the corner of her mouth is actually smiling now. What good thing happened to her? Is it possible that she met a handsome guy whom she had fallen in love with in this ancient town? The old lady has an old heart, and her old spirit is thinking about it. The forum organizer arranged for them to have dinner at the hotel. The old lady said, ¡°You don¡¯t need to accompany me to dinner at night, you can go around the ancient town. This is a tourist attraction, and there are many local specialties that you can try.¡± Zhang Qi said angrily: ¡°I came here with you, so how can I just run around?¡± Zhang Yansheng breathed a sigh of relief and said, ¡°That¡¯s just right, sister, you can accompany Grandma, I still have something to do.¡± Zhang Qi was stunned. Grandma scolded her: ¡°You¡¯re going out to run around again?¡± ¡°Well, it¡¯s actually like this.¡± Zhang Yansheng still explained patiently to her grandmother, ¡°A big sister slipped and fell in the bathroom during lunch. She injured her foot and I helped her back to the restaurant. I also sent her back to her room after lunch. We chatted for a long time and made an appointment with her for dinner in the evening.¡± Grandma was surprised that Zhang Yansheng actually met someone on this occasion, but Zhang Yansheng was still young. She asked, ¡°Who is the other party? How old is she? What does she do?¡± Zhang Yansheng took out Mo Lin¡¯s business card. Grandma put on reading glasses and looked at ¡°Qiwu Investment, Investment Director, Mo Lin¡­¡± ¡°When we were eating at noon, the man with glasses on our table might be with her, right?¡± Zhang Yansheng said, ¡°It feels like they are doing the same thing.¡± Grandma knew who she was talking about, glanced at her in surprise, smiled and said, ¡°You are right, that person also belongs to an investment company.¡± She returned the business card to Zhang Yansheng and said, ¡°Keep your cellphone on and come back to me at night to report it.¡± Zhang Yansheng agreed: ¡°Okay.¡± After dinner in the evening, Zhang Qi accompanied the old lady back to her room and made tea for the old lady. The old lady took a sip of tea and asked her eldest granddaughter, ¡°Is there any gain you¡¯ve gotten today?¡± Zhang Qi straightened her lower back immediately: ¡°I have gained a lot. The speeches of the speakers I listened to today had broadened my thoughts a lot.¡± With that said, she listed one, two, three, four, five¡­ several points. It sounds very organized. But those are actually the contents of other people¡¯s speeches, and they are notes she recorded. When she finished speaking, the old lady nodded and asked her to go back to rest. Zhang Qi didn¡¯t forget to say before leaving: ¡°Yanyan, seriously, she hasn¡¯t come back until now. Is she crazy?¡± After thinking about it, she felt that she was an older sister again, so she added a concern: ¡°There will be no danger, right?¡± The old lady said, ¡°She has a black belt in taekwondo, and most people can¡¯t touch her.¡± Then, she let Zhang Qi go back. Zhang Yansheng still remembered her grandmother¡¯s instructions. She didn¡¯t go back to her room when she returned to the hotel, so she went to the old lady¡¯s room to report. ¡°Why did you go back so late?¡± The old lady rebuked her. Zhang Yansheng was in a good mood when she saw it, with a smile on the corner of her mouth: ¡°We talked a bit too much, and time passed before I knew it.¡± ¡°Come here.¡± The old lady asked her to sit down by her side and asked, ¡°Is there any gain today?¡± ¡°Yes.¡± Zhang Yansheng said, ¡°I have gained a person and a project.¡± The old lady¡¯s eyes lit up slightly. Zhang Yansheng asked: ¡°Grandma, in fact, if you come to participate in this kind of forum, besides listening to those speeches about the industry, there¡¯s another purpose which is to meet people, find opportunities, and find projects that can be invested, right? I think that¡¯s the reason why you¡¯ve been exchanging business cards at the dining table.¡± Old lady Zhang: ¡°Oh.¡± ¡°What?¡± Zhang Yansheng asked, ¡°Am I wrong?¡± Old lady Zhang smiled and said, ¡°That¡¯s right, it¡¯s a pretty good idea. Go on.¡± ¡°Big Sister Mo told me all about it.¡± Zhang Yansheng said, ¡°It¡¯s just that someone has to do things and has no money. And people like you, who have money in their hands, want to find projects and make more money. Big Sister Mo just integrates the two sides to win one, or win three, or maybe win more.¡± The old lady asked again, ¡°What project did you just talk about?¡± ¡°It¡¯s a movie.¡± When it came to the matter of sending money to the front of her eyes, Zhang Yansheng¡¯s eyebrows lit up, and she said, ¡°Big Sister Mo has several projects in her hand, and one movie project is particularly good. I want to invest some money in it.¡± The old lady asked, ¡°How much do you plan to invest?¡± Zhang Yansheng said, ¡°All my savings. I still want to ask my dad for more money.¡± ¡°Yanyan, if you can get your dad to invest money for you¡­¡± The old lady smiled, ¡°How much your dad will invest in, Grandma will double it.¡± Isn¡¯t it easy to ask Zhang Huan to give her money? He gave her as much as she wanted in her previous life. Zhang Yansheng¡¯s eyes lit up: ¡°Then that¡¯s a deal!¡± There was a smile at the corner of the old lady¡¯s mouth. The eldest granddaughter harvested class notes for the day. The second granddaughter got a business card. The first contact in life, the first investment attempt. It¡¯s pretty good, it didn¡¯t come in vain. The forum continued on the second day. In the evening, on the 15th of the first month, the ancient town held the Lantern Festival, which beautifully interpreted the traditional culture. The third day was only half a day, and the forum officially closed after lunch. Many people who booked the plane earlier left without leaving for lunch. This is why Mo Lin left early. When Zhang Yansheng and a few others went to check out, Zhang Yansheng said to the front desk: ¡°Someone should have left something for me here.¡± The front desk checked her room number and name, and gave her an envelope: ¡°The lady surnamed Mo left it for you.¡± Zhang Yansheng took it: ¡°Yes.¡± Then, she stuffed it into her bag casually. Zhang Qi glanced at her strangely, muttering in her heart, not knowing what to do. Because they had to check out, so she didn¡¯t ask much. When they arrived at the airport, they walked through the VIP passage and sat down safely in the VIP waiting room. Zhang Yansheng took out the envelope from her bag and handed it to Zhang Qi: ¡°Sister Qiqi, this is for you.¡± Zhang Qi took it and opened it, took out a USB flash drive, and asked suspiciously, ¡°What is this?¡± ¡°Big Sister Mo helped me get the manuscripts of the speeches in the forum.¡± Zhang Yansheng looked at Zhang Qi¡¯s confused expression on her face, and explained more clearly, ¡°It¡¯s the ones you took notes on.¡± Zhang Qi: ¡°¡­¡± On the return flight, Zhang Qi¡¯s face was always livid. CH 89 Zhang Yansheng thought that asking Zhang Huan for money could not be easier. She never expected that for the first time in her two lifetimes, Zhang Huan would refuse to give her money. When she told Zhang Huan that she wanted to invest in a movie, Zhang Huan quietly asked her how much money she planned to invest. Zhang Yansheng said: ¡°I checked and there are less than 4 million in my own account, and I plan to take them all out. I still need to make up for a total of 10 million yuan.¡± Zhang Huan asked her again: ¡°How much do you want Dad to give you?¡± Zhang Yansheng said naturally: ¡°You give me 6 million to make up the whole 10 million yuan.¡± Later, she basically stopped living in this house, but whenever she came back, she came to ask for money. Zhang Huan gave her everything she wanted for millions to tens of millions of yuan. Although 6 million yuan is indeed a bit more for her who is only in high school, it is only because she is still young, but this number alone is just a trivial matter for Zhang Huan. Zhang Huan and old lady Zhang made investments in units of 100 million yuan. It¡¯s just that Zhang Yansheng has self-awareness. Adults can give her a little money to play and try the water, but they will definitely not give her so much financial support as a serious investment. ¡°I can¡¯t give you this money.¡± Zhang Huan said. In Zhang Huan¡¯s study room, Zhang Yansheng sat in a leather chair and listened to Zhang Huan¡¯s rejection of her in amazement. ¡°If you want pocket money, or even if you tell me now that you fancy a car for six million and want to buy it, Dad can give you money right away.¡± Zhang Huan said, ¡°But if you want to invest, you have to give me a good reason, and you have to convince me.¡± Zhang Yansheng suppressed the disbelief in her heart and said, ¡°I just said, this movie¡­¡± Zhang Huan waved his hand and interrupted her: ¡°What you told me, are those the things on the business plan given to you by that investment company?¡± Zhang Yansheng paused. Indeed, when she introduced this movie to Zhang Huan, she used the content of the materials Mo Lin gave her. What else could she say? She can¡¯t simply say: ¡°I predict that this movie will explode to 3.9 billion yuan at the box office¡±, right? Zhang Huan said: ¡°In fact, if you look at the investment plans of other projects, you will find that they are all similar. Even many other projects are much more reliable. Movie? Movies are full of metaphysics. Those who applaud may not be applauded, and those who win big prizes may make you lose your underpants.¡± ¡°So Yanyan, this project you fancy, why on earth do you want me to pay for it? The director is not famous, there are several popular actors but they only have cameo roles, and I¡¯ve not heard of any of the fresh meats appearing in this movie¡­ What¡¯s that look in your eyes? Dad is also very fashionable! Dad has been casted in a TV series!¡± ¡°Don¡¯t get too far, I¡¯m just asking you, how much do you know about this movie? How much do you know about this industry? You just want to give away your money after listening and getting fooled by the investment company? How can you make me believe that this is a project worth investing in?¡± ¡°You have to convince me, Yanyan! I¡¯ll leave it here, as long as you can convince Dad, then Dad will give you this money!¡± Zhang Huan smiled and looked at her eldest daughter with raised eyebrows. Although Zhang Yansheng knew that this would be a big dark horse, she was speechless by Zhang Huan. Because things like ¡®precognition¡¯ cannot be used as a reason to convince others. Her mouth opened and closed, then opened and closed again. In the end, she said, ¡°Just give me some time.¡± Zhang Huan was simply spirited: ¡°Okay! Dad is waiting for you! Anytime!¡± At this point, Zhang Yansheng finally understood why the old lady Zhang said that as long as Zhang Huan invested money for her, the old lady would double this investment. It turned out that the old lady had expected that she would not even be able to get through Zhang Huan. With the figure of 6 million, Zhang Yansheng didn¡¯t even consider using ¡°I want pocket money¡± and ¡°I want to buy things¡± as excuses to get it. Although Zhang Huan made it clear, he would really give it to her if she wanted it. But wouldn¡¯t that be a loss! It was simply that Zhang Huan slapped her on the face clearly and bowed her head to him. Zhang Yansheng is unwilling! With a hot head of frustration, Zhang Yansheng returned to her room to calm down and called Mo Lin. ¡°My own 4 million yuan is no problem and I will definitely invest it in. This is my own money, so I can call the shots.¡± She said, ¡°But I didn¡¯t convince my dad, I was still insufficiently prepared, he made sense¡­ Big Sister Mo, I want to learn more about this industry. Is there any information you can recommend for me to refer to?¡± Mo Lin said: ¡°I have a lot of industry information in my hand, but it takes time to see it. Is it appropriate? Aren¡¯t you still a high school student? It¡¯s better to be able to go to school, otherwise¡­¡± Four million yuan means something. Mo Lin felt that it was too much for a child to invest 4 million yuan. ¡°There¡¯s still more than half a month before I go back to school.¡± Zhang Yansheng said, ¡°You don¡¯t understand, Big Sister Mo. This is between me and my dad.¡± Mo Lin: ¡°¡­¡± Okay. She finally said, ¡°Give me your email address and I will send you some information.¡± Mo Lin was having dinner with her friends, hung up the phone, and said with infinite emotion: ¡°Why is there such a big gap between people? I have lived for so long and the biggest problem I have with my dad is whether I should help him cover it up when my mom finds out about his private money. Well, the question between this little girl and her father is, how to persuade her father to invest millions for her?¡± ¡°Technology.¡± Her friend said categorically, ¡°This is a matter of reincarnation technology. People are born on our finish line, and we may not even be able to complete the journey at all, so we can¡¯t accept it.¡± For the next two days, Zhang Yansheng shrank in her room. Zhang Huan secretly checked on her, and found that she could hardly be seen at home. Even when everyone was eating, everyone was on the table, and she was still invisible. Zhang Huan asked Zhang Heling, ¡°Where is your sister?¡± Zhang Heling knows very well: ¡°She¡¯s still looking at some information in her room about that movie.¡± Zhang Huan asked Zhang Heling: ¡°Go, ask your sister to come down for dinner.¡± Zhang Heling¡¯s thin legs fell quickly, and she ran upstairs. After a while, Zhang Yansheng followed Zhang Heling down, pulled the chair and sat down in her place, picked up the bowl to eat, but did not speak. At first glance, her mind was not on the dining table. Zhang Huan said pretentiously: ¡°No matter what you do, you have to pay attention to your body and eat well. The body is the capital of the revolution, and nothing is as important as health.¡± It seems that he was not the one who deliberately attacked Zhang Yansheng. Zhang Heling looked at her father and looked at her sister. She felt that her sister seemed to be floating, and she didn¡¯t know if she had heard her father speak. She picked up a chopstick of vegetables to Zhang Yansheng: ¡°Sister, eat vegetables.¡± Vegetables are the most nutritious. Her sister often forces her to eat them. Zhang Yansheng let out a ¡°hmm¡±. Zhang Huan is so cheap! He frowned at Zhang Heling, put his hands to his mouth, and made a gesture of whispering, but said in a voice that everyone could hear: ¡°Hehe, do you know why your sister is under so much pressure?¡± Zhang Heling glanced at her sister who was eating vegetables silently, and shook her head. Zhang Huan said bitterly: ¡°Your sister, she has to invest all her pocket money in a project. If she loses it, your sister will have no money to spend! She will become a pauper. Dad is telling you that this is your chance to make money! You lend your pocket money to your sister and lend it like a loan shark! Collect huge interest from her fiercely! You will be rich!¡± As soon as Zhang Heling wanted to strictly reject her father¡¯s profit-seeking suggestion, she heard a ¡°click¡±! Everyone at the dining table looked up. Zhang Yansheng lowered her eyes and slowly chewed the vegetables and rice in her mouth, but the chopsticks in her right hand had been broken in two. Zhang Huan: ¡°!¡± Zhang Heling: ¡°!¡± Zhang Shuocheng: ¡°!¡± Liang Yingying: ¡°!¡± Aunt that¡¯s serving: ¡°!¡± Zhang Yansheng gently put down the broken chopsticks and smiled softly at the aunt: ¡°Aunt, please help me get a new pair of chopsticks.¡± The aunt went in a daze. The dining table is still very quiet. After a long time, the aunt brought new chopsticks over, and Zhang Heling said weakly, ¡°Sister, I won¡¯t charge you interest¡­¡± Zhang Yansheng stretched out her hand and patted her lightly on the top of her head, held it down, raised her head to Zhang Huan and hooked the corners of her mouth obliquely: ¡°I¡¯m ready, are you going to the headquarters tomorrow? I will go with you and talk to you and my grandmother.¡± ¡°Okay!¡± Zhang Huan smiled, ¡°Do you still want to tell your grandmother?¡± ¡°My grandma said that as long as you agreed, she will give me twice as much money.¡± ¡°Okay, tomorrow then!¡± After eating, Zhang Yansheng went upstairs and went back to her room. Zhang Huan stopped Zhang Heling and asked her, ¡°How is your taekwondo practice?¡± Last semester, Zhang Huan asked Zhang Heling to also start learning taekwondo. He thinks it¡¯s good for girls to have this kind of training. Look at his eldest daughter, no one can bully her! It¡¯s so reassuring. ¡°Look at your sister, how well she has been trained.¡± Zhang Huan imitated Zhang Yansheng and shook the air abruptly, ¡®the kacha sound and the chopsticks broke¡¯! Zhang Heling said confidently: ¡°I am also very good, and the coach often praises me!¡± ¡°Oh?¡± Zhang Huan was in high spirits, ¡°Then, show it to Dad.¡± Zhang Heling then opened her posture. ¡°Hooh!¡± ¡°Ha!¡± ¡°Hey!¡± Then, she did a shadowless kick, and the strength was put on both of her legs and fists. Zhang Huan: ¡°¡­¡± Zhang Huan was born rich and wealthy. He has never felt distressed about money in his life, but he has begun to feel distressed about this lesson fee. Zhang Heling closed her legs, her eyes full of expectation: ¡°Dad, how is it?¡± ¡°It¡¯s pretty good.¡± Zhang Huan patted her head lovingly, ¡°You must practice playing the piano well.¡± Zhang Heling: ¡°???¡± Zhang Huan called his own mother and told her about tomorrow¡¯s affairs. The old lady smiled: ¡°Do you think she can do it?¡± ¡°You didn¡¯t see the fighting spirit burning in her eyes. She locked herself in her room and read the materials for several days.¡± Zhang Huan said, ¡°As for whether it is successful or not, won¡¯t you know tomorrow?¡± The old lady smiled again for a while and said, ¡°Don¡¯t give her pointers. Let¡¯s see how far she can do it on her own.¡± Zhang Yansheng went back to the room and went through the PPT she made today again, feeling that it was not a big problem. She thought about whether she wanted to bring Zhang Heling over to her as an audience and rehearse first. But suddenly she remembered that there is another person who is more suitable than Zhang Heling. And if it hadn¡¯t been for this matter to be blocked here by Zhang Huan, according to her original thoughts, she would have already talked about it with this person. For the investment in this movie, she wanted to bring this person in. After all, back then, he madly watched it 10 times, talked a lot about the original work, and read many analytical articles. He can be called the most enthusiastic fan of this movie. Zhang Yansheng made a video call to Xu Lichen. Soon, Xu Lichen¡¯s handsome face filled the screen. At an oblique angle, it appeared that his eyelashes were long and his lips were sexy. He has good looks and money. He has had girlfriends since elementary school, and he matures much earlier than his peers in terms of gender. Handsome guys have a lot of baggage, and they also need to find a good angle to get a sexy value when answering a video call. Zhang Yansheng was completely immune and said coldly: ¡°Move away from your phone, I don¡¯t want to look at your nostrils.¡± Xu Lichen: ¡°¡­¡± F*ck! Seeing that the angle is normal, Zhang Yansheng greeted him: ¡°It¡¯s been a long time since I saw you, how are you?¡± ¡°What the hell?!¡± Xu Lichen scolded, ¡°Zhang Yansheng, you cheated me to death! Tell me! Why are there so many winter vacation homework in Class 5?!!!¡± CH 90 Enchantress12-15 minutes 02.03.2022 ¡°If I hadn¡¯t complained about this homework with my classmates in my original class that day, I didn¡¯t even know that our homework was different!¡± Xu Lichen scolded angrily, ¡°F*ck, do you know how much more homework is done in Class 5 than Class 8?!¡± ¡°Not much.¡± Zhang Yansheng was not surprised, ¡°There is less homework than our class. You go and learn about Class 1. There are so many homework assignments in Class 1 that your three views will be shattered.¡± Xu Lichen glared at her: ¡°I¡¯m going back to Class 8 when the school starts!¡± ¡°Okay. Just go and tell the teacher¡­¡± Zhang Yansheng¡¯s mouth twitched, showing a sneer of contempt, ¡°I am a scumbag, I am a manure machine, I don¡¯t deserve to stay in Class 5, please hurry up and let me go back to Class 8.¡± The video showed a state where the network seemed to be stuck for a moment. ¡°Zhang! Yan! Sheng!¡± Xu Lichen wants to be exasperated, ¡°Every time you take the initiative to contact me, you either beat me or scold me, or you just want to piss me off, right?¡± Zhang Yansheng smiled: ¡°It¡¯s really not this time.¡± Xu Lichen patted the table over there: ¡°You want to talk to me? Why are you looking for me?¡± He added: ¡°It¡¯s definitely not a good thing!¡± Zhang Yansheng supported her head: ¡°It¡¯s really a good thing. Xu Lichen, let me ask you, how much money do you have in your hand?¡± There are many girls who picture his wealth and his color, but no girl really dares to ask him directly how much money he has. Xu Lichen: ¡°Huh?¡± Zhang Yansheng said: ¡°I have a very good project at hand now, and I want to ask you to invest together.¡± For a teenager who is still in the stage of ¡®why do I have so many homework during the winter vacation¡¯ in his life, she suddenly told him that she has a project that she wants to ask him to invest in. The topic jumped too much, and Xu Lichen was inevitably confused: ¡°Invest for what? What are you investing in?¡± Zhang Yansheng pointed her finger at her mouth shape and told him: ¡°Investment ¡ª capital.¡± The video screen was frozen again, this time on the boy¡¯s confused eyes. For a long time, Xu Lichen said weakly: ¡°Zhang Yansheng, I feel that you¡­ look like a mystery box. Before opening it, I didn¡¯t know what would be inside¡­¡± ¡°Don¡¯t say too much nonsense. Let¡¯s meet first.¡± Zhang Yansheng looked at her watch. At this time, some office workers had just returned home and had just eaten dinner. ¡°I will be there at Antler Coffee shop in Laili Square in about 40 minutes. It¡¯s something you will definitely be interested in, so don¡¯t regret it.¡± After speaking, she hung up. ¡°Hey hey hey! Hello? Hello?¡± Xu Lichen stared at the phone screen, ¡°F*ck!¡± What must he be interested in? Zhang Yansheng knows what he is interested in? Don¡¯t regret it? Why does she feel so confident of knowing him that well? Humph, when I go later, then I must be colder. Raise my chin a bit when I speak, and tell her coldly, sorry, I¡¯m not interested in this thing. ¡­¡­ ¡°Holysh*t! Holysh*t! Holysh*t! Holysh*t!¡± Xu Lichen performed a large-scale real incense scene at Antler Coffee shop in Laili Square, ¡°What is this? What the hell is it? Hey, don¡¯t close it, let me watch it again!¡± ¡°This is only a three-minute demo.¡± Zhang Yansheng turned off the player on her laptop, opened her PPT, and jumped directly to a certain page, ¡°The movie is called ¡¶Leaving the Solar System¡·, and the author of the original novel is Dayang. Do you know him?¡± Unfortunately, Xu Lichen didn¡¯t know Dayang at this time. Because although he likes watching sci-fi movies and sci-fi dramas very much, this scumbag generally doesn¡¯t! Look! At books! ¡°I don¡¯t know!¡± Xu Lichen said loudly without shame, and kept asking, ¡°Is this made in China? Is this really made in China?¡± ¡°Of course, didn¡¯t you see that the actors are all Chinese?¡± Zhang Yansheng was helpless, ¡°Let me tell you, Dayang is¡­ he claims to be the first person in China¡¯s science fiction literature.¡± ¡°Let me tell you the story of¡¶Leaving the Solar System¡·¡­¡± An hour later, Xu Lichen patted the table: ¡°I will invest! Tell me how to invest! How much do you want to invest?¡± Zhang Yansheng said; ¡°I don¡¯t know how much money you have. I just think this project is very good and worth investing in, so I want to tell you.¡± ¡°You are loyal enough, so I will remember it!¡± Xu Lichen asked, ¡°How much do you plan to invest?¡± ¡°I can take out 4 million by myself.¡± Zhang Yansheng told him, ¡°I plan to get 6 million from my dad, and then about 10 million from my grandma.¡± ¡°Okay.¡± Xu Lichen said, ¡°Let me think about it¡­ I probably have 5 or 6 million. I¡¯ll go tell my dad that I wanted to change my motorcycle, and asked him to give me another 200,000 or 300,000, and then I¡¯ll go tell my mother the same thing¡­ Is it okay to make up a million, hmm? What¡¯s wrong? Why are you looking at me like that?¡± Zhang Yansheng¡¯s eyes were faint, she was silent for a moment, and asked, ¡°Can¡¯t you just tell them that you want to invest?¡± Xu Lichen laughed: ¡°Who would believe me?¡± But this method of asking for money is like an elementary school student, who asks for 20 yuan with his father and 20 yuan with his mother for the same reason of collecting money, so he has 20 yuan to go to an internet cafe to play games. ¡°So, you¡¯re basically not capable, are you really a child in your family?¡± Zhang Yansheng stared at him. Xu Lichen¡¯s smile froze on his face. ¡°Moreover,¡± Zhang Yansheng continued, ¡°In fact, you also feel that you are a child by heart, so you have to do things in a child¡¯s way, right?¡± Xu Lichen felt countless arrows hit his knees, so soft that he wanted to kneel. He said with a strong smile: ¡°What are you talking about, aren¡¯t we just a freshman in high school? If I¡¯m not a child, then am I an adult?¡± He¡¯s really a child, Zhang Yansheng thought to herself. Zhang Yansheng couldn¡¯t even be sure that when she lived to be 21 years old in her previous life, had she really grown up? She doesn¡¯t know if Xu Lichen, who was abroad at that time, has grown up too. Zhang Yansheng stroked the keyboard of the laptop with her fingertips, and she felt something she had never felt before. This matter suddenly became more than just eating rebirth benefits. Zhang Yansheng felt that this incident had a different meaning for her. She closed her laptop and said, ¡°That¡¯s all I want to tell you. Go back and collect the money, just tell me once you¡¯re done.¡± When she stood up, Xu Lichen stopped her. He hesitated for a moment, as if he had made up his mind: ¡°Give me a copy of your PPT!¡± Zhang Yansheng looked at him, the corners of his mouth curled up: ¡°I¡¯ll send it to you when I go home.¡± The next day, Zhang Yansheng packed up and went downstairs, and Zhang Huan said in high tone, ¡°Hoh!¡± Zhang Yansheng felt that her father had a trend of becoming a child in the past two days, and she didn¡¯t want to pay much attention to him. Zhang Heling let out a ¡°wow¡±: ¡°Sister, you look like an adult today!¡± Zhang Yansheng put on formal clothes, put on makeup, and curled her hair. At first glance, she really doesn¡¯t look like a student. Only by looking closely can you see the youthfulness of her face. Zhang Huan had breakfast with a smile on his face. After eating, he took Zhang Yansheng to the headquarters of Zhang¡¯s company. The old lady Zhang, dressed in a professional suit with spirit, has set aside time for Zhang Yansheng and arranged a meeting room for her. The secretary helped Zhang Yansheng connect her laptop to the projector, and then backed out. Only the old lady and Zhang Huan were left in the conference room. These two people are very familiar with Zhang Yansheng. One can easily talk and even be a little coquettish, and the other is not afraid of yelling at her. Zhang Yansheng is not afraid. Now both of them looked at her with smiles and expectation. But when Zhang Yansheng slid the mouse onto the PPT, she clearly felt that her palms were sweating from nervousness. Because she knows what she is going to do, which is very important to her. What she is about to do will qualitatively separate her now from her previous life. Zhang Yansheng took a deep breath, and double-clicked to open the PPT she had prepared. ¡°If you pay attention to famous foreign science fiction blockbusters, you will find a very unique phenomenon.¡± Zhang Yansheng spoke calmly, ¡°It¡¯s just that you can¡¯t see the shadow of any Chinese in these sci-fi blockbusters. Interestingly, Chinese people, who account for more than 20% of the earth¡¯s population, will not appear in Western science fiction movies. Because Westerners acquiesce that Chinese people are not allowed to appear, because Westerners¡¯ stereotypes of Chinese people think that they are not science fiction. If they appear in science fiction movies, it will make the whole movie embarrassing.¡± ¡°But are Chinese really not science fiction? Do Chinese people like to watch science fiction movies? Is there a market for science fiction movies in China?¡± Zhang Yansheng pressed the remote control, the PPT turned a page, and the first data appeared. ¡°This is the global box office and Chinese box office of foreign science fiction blockbusters in the recent years. It is not difficult to see that among the outstanding results of these blockbusters, the contribution of the Chinese box office is huge.¡± ¡°Unfortunately, all of these gold-absorbing science fiction movies are foreign movies. Until now, we, in China, can almost say that there is no science fiction blockbuster that can really be made. There is no local sci-fi blockbuster that can be compared with Hollywood.¡± ¡°But this is not a market problem. Now, the total box office of movies in the mainland Chinese market is as high as 30 billion yuan. Who is the biggest winner in the market?¡± Zhang Yansheng switched the page, and a new set of data revealed the answer: ¡°¨CScience fiction!¡± ¡°Our market likes science fiction. As long as it is a science fiction movie of the same level, it can complete the task of attracting money from the Chinese market. Even our market¡¯s love for science fiction movies has reached the level of craving so much, so that those that are not particularly good or even a bit bad, such as this one, the fifth part of this series has a bad reputation abroad, but it still reaped 1.5 billion yuan at the box office in China! The total box office of the entire series of five movies in China exceeded 6 billion, and they are called gold-sucking monsters. And an excellent sci-fi blockbuster, how much it can explode at the box office in China is simply unpredictable.¡± ¡°It can be seen from this that science fiction movies have an extremely large and even unfathomable market in China. And for so long, there has not been a sci-fi blockbuster in China that can be obtained. In fact, it is caused by many reasons ¡ª policy, humanities, technology, etc.¡± ¡°But now, these bottlenecks are dissolving. In recent years, the radio and television¡¯s review system has been continuously in line with international standards, and domestic special effects companies have already reached a level comparable to international ones. The factors that have stifled domestic science fiction in the past are fading.¡± ¡°So, at this time node, Director Xie chose¡¶Leaving the Solar System¡·.¡± ¡°Why is it¡¶Leaving the Solar System¡·instead of any other novel? I have to say, if I were Director Xie, I would also choose¡¶Leaving the Solar System¡·.¡± ¡°Because¡¶Leaving the Solar System¡·is a classic masterpiece of its author, Dayang.¡± ¡°And who is Dayang?¡± ¡°He is known as the first person in Chinese science fiction literature!¡± ¡°It can be said that in China, as long as there are people who read science fiction, there is no one who doesn¡¯t read Dayang¡¯s works. Dayang has the largest number of science fiction readers in China!¡± Following Zhang Yansheng¡¯s narration, the expressions on the faces of the old lady Zhang and Zhang Huan watching a child¡¯s performance gradually disappeared. They were gradually attracted by Zhang Yansheng¡¯s narration and began to listen carefully. CH 91 Enchantress12-15 minutes 03.03.2022 ¡°The script of the movie¡¶Leaving the Solar System¡·actually only intercepted a short period of time at the beginning of the novel. Because the timeline of the entire story of this novel stretched for a thousand years.¡± Zhang Yansheng quickly summarized the main contents of the novel. In the future, the technological level of human beings on Earth will finally develop to enter space. The three countries of Z, M, and R jointly built the first spacecraft to explore outer space. The spacecraft was named ¡°Advance¡± and carried a total of 2,000 scientists, technicians, and soldiers from various nations, and began a journey of human exploration of the universe. After advancing for 14 years, the Advance finally flew out of the solar system, just like a person who lives in a remote place and has never walked out of his house, finally stepped out of his own house. But when he stepped over the threshold, he realized that outside the door¡­ boats were coming and going, and the traffic was heavy. There used to be so many intelligent races in the Milky Way. The bad thing is that the first to discover the Advance was an unfriendly and belligerent race. Realizing that this was a visitor from a planet they had never heard of, they attacked and tried to capture the Advance, wanting to obtain the coordinates of this unknown country planet to occupy and plunder. The Advance began a life-and-death escape that lasted for several years, and many tragic stories happened. Many people sacrificed their lives to guard the coordinates of the earth. In the end, the brave crew members fought back in desperation, captured the alien spacecraft that was chasing them, and drove the more advanced alien spacecraft back to Earth. But the earthlings understand that the earth is not alone in the universe, and may even be in danger. The earth no longer sends exploration spacecraft outwards, but hides in the solar system and develops quietly. More than two hundred years later, the existence of the Earth was finally discovered by aliens, and the invaders came with malice. But the earth, which has developed for two hundred years, already has the strength to counterattack. When the Earth¡¯s defense system was deployed and the first Battlestar was nearing completion, the enemy hit the door of the house. At this time, the earth has no country distinction, and people of all skin colors have only one common identity ¡ª Earth human beings. With the unity of billions of earthlings, an epic battle to defend the Earth started in the solar system. The Earthlings paid countless lives and a heavy price, and finally won this battle of self-defense. But the existence of the earth has never been a secret, and the earth can no longer live in a corner and develop silently. The earth civilization once again stepped out of the solar system. This time, the scientific exploration ship and the warship went hand in hand, and the Earth civilization stepped into the big stage of the Milky Way civilization. In the timeline of more than 600 years, it is said that the Earth civilization has experienced arduous struggles, developed step by step from a weak rural planet, and finally became a force that all races and civilizations cannot despise. The story ends with the earth finally gaining a seat in the Upper House of the Galactic Federation. ¡°The movie script actually only captures the first ten years of the timeline, from the departure of the Advance to the encounter of an alien civilization, being chased for several years, fleeing, fighting, and fighting back, and finally capturing the enemy¡¯s spacecraft and returning.¡± Zhang Yansheng said, ¡°I read through the script. Although this is only a short timeline in the original work, the adapted script is a complete and logical story.¡± The screenwriter himself is a fan of the original work, and he has absorbed the original work very thoroughly, and in the adaptation, he made up for the shortcomings of the original author, Dayang, who was not good at writing emotional lines.¡± ¡°In this script, there is a flash of individual heroism, a moving collective spirit of sacrifice, and the display of human nature is also very three-dimensional; love, friendship, family affection¡­ are very full.¡± ¡°The screenwriter¡¯s adaptation is in place, and there are many colorful plots, which not only attract attention, but also move people¡¯s hearts.¡± At a critical juncture, you have to press that button to die with the enemy in order to save everyone. But there was only one person who could do this at that moment. His name was Xiao Shan, and he was a 10-year-old child. This child was born on the Advance. His mother is a scientist and his father is a major. His feet have never set foot on the land of the Earth. But he knew that the earth was their home. His mother¡¯s heartbreaking voice came from the communication channel: ¡°Xiao Shan! Xiao Shan! Don¡¯t do it!¡± The child looked at the sea of stars and enemy warships outside the porthole window, and sighed softly: ¡°Mom, I really want to take a look at the Earth.¡± That was his farewell words, his last wish. Then he slapped his palm and pressed the button. Shattered to pieces, he died with the enemy, saving everyone. Zhang Yansheng remembers this scene very clearly. Xu Lichen watched it 10 times, and cried like a dog every time this scene came up. When he left the theater, he didn¡¯t admit it. He would say that the theater decoration was irritated by formaldehyde and made his eyes red. Then, he would say that he would go to the Consumer Council to complain. The little actor became so popular afterwards. ¡°Almost all the popular actors are cameos. The main characters are all unknown but professional actors. Unlike many productions that rely on fresh meat to guarantee the flow of traffic, the 150-million-yuan investment so far has been spent on production rather than the actors¡¯ remuneration.¡± ¡°This is a post-production partner¡­ this is the publicity plan¡­¡± ¡°Regarding the quality of the finished product, we can take a look at this demo¡­¡± Zhang Yansheng observed the expressions of the old lady and Zhang Huan while playing the demo. They watched very intently, and were obviously attracted by the three-minute presentation of this demo, and the old lady nodded unknowingly. Zhang Yansheng rested for three minutes, and she had a completely different feeling, as if hot water rushed from her head to foot. It was so hot that could wash people from the inside out. By the end of the demo, Zhang Yansheng felt that her skin was still steaming and her strength was exhausted. ¡°Director Xie makes products with an attitude of making work of art.¡± She said, ¡°If it is a literary film, it is probably not popular. But fortunately, the more serious and refined the subject of science fiction is, the more popular it is.¡± ¡°In a nutshell, I think this movie is worth the investment.¡± ¡°What do you think?¡± Zhang Yansheng fixed her eyes on the two elders. The eyes of the two elders also fell on her. This child specially dressed up for today, trying to make herself look mature. In fact, it is not such an excellent business presentation. Both the old lady Zhang and Zhang Huan have seen a lot of really professional and admirable presentations. In comparison, Zhang Yansheng¡¯s presentation is rough and lacks experience. But Zhang Yansheng is just a child, she is a high school student. A few days ago, when she said she wanted to invest, she didn¡¯t understand anything. She just subjectively feels good and joins in the fun. She is completely a layman. A few days later, of course, she did not become an elite, but obviously, both the old lady and Zhang Huan could see that she had stepped into the threshold with one foot, at least she was no longer a layman. A kid who is only a freshman in high school! How many freshman children are still sneaking around to play games behind their parents¡¯ backs? Zhang Yansheng has consciously thought about how to make money, dared to invest, and was willing to devote energy and time to it. As Zhang Huan said to Zhang Yansheng early on, for children from families like them, academic performance is not that important, and even academic qualifications are not that important. Some other things are actually more important. Zhang Huan and the old lady looked at each other and saw affirmation in each other¡¯s eyes. Zhang Yansheng waited with bated breath. Not living up to her expectations, Zhang Huan smiled and said, ¡°Okay, I decided to invest. You want 6 million to make up for 10 million, right? Don¡¯t move your own money, don¡¯t move it. Dad will give you 10 million yuan.¡± The old lady smiled and said, ¡°Like I said, how much does your father pay, I will double it for you. I will give you 20 million.¡± In this way, Zhang Yansheng has 30 million yuan available for investment. Before today, being able to get this amount had exceeded Zhang Yansheng¡¯s expectations. She knows very well that her current identity is just a high school student. If she wants to invest, adults will give her a little money to let her try the water, but she won¡¯t really invest hundreds of millions or billions of dollars in it like they invest by themselves. So, her goal is to get 6 million from Zhang Huan, about 10 million from the old lady, plus her own money, to make up 20 million in total. But now, after finishing her first business presentation in her life, she can¡¯t be satisfied with a mere 30 million. Zhang Yansheng could clearly perceive the swelling in her heart, but this feeling of swelling1ÄÚÐĵÄÅòÕÍ ¨C Swelling refers to a person¡¯s heart becoming more and more arrogant, feeling that he is great, despising others and even a little bit of contempt for everything. made her feel completely comfortable. Moreover, she has the foresight of the previous life as her confidence, so she has the support to expand. She said: ¡°Since you all agree with the investment value of this project, why do you only invest 30 million yuan?¡± The old lady and Zhang Huan looked at her, and she said, ¡°The current estimated funding gap is 200 million yuan. They plan to release the movie during summer vacation next year. But in this kind of large-scale production, the most common things are delays and overspending. I think it is likely that it will not be released until next year. With 200 hundred million¡­ I don¡¯t think it will be enough. The most expensive thing is the post-production. In terms of publicity and distribution, the existence of original fans can save some, but I think at least it needs 300 to 400 hundred million yuan.¡± ¡°But it¡¯s all worth it. This investment will definitely get the return it deserves. Our family can come up with these 300 to 400 hundred million yuan. Grandma, I think we should invest this amount.¡± Zhang Yansheng¡¯s eyes were full of expectation and confidence. Her facial features are not only beautiful, but also very heroic, and she is a bit aggressive. There was a moment of silence in the conference room, and then the old lady and Zhang Huan both laughed. ¡°Mom, look at her, she is so ambitious at a young age!¡± Zhang Huan pointed his finger at Zhang Yansheng and said, ¡°It looks like she¡¯s really from our family, right?¡± The old lady smiled and said, ¡°Yes, she¡¯s the same just like how you used to be!¡± The two of them laughed happily, Zhang Yansheng glanced at the ceiling speechlessly, and said solemnly: ¡°You two, give me your approval.¡± Don¡¯t just laugh there. And what¡¯s so funny about this? After going up a step, do you have to just stand still? Shouldn¡¯t you look up to see the next higher step? Anyway, someone must hold Zhang Yansheng in place and tell her that this is enough. She should be satisfied, but Zhang Yansheng is not satisfied. Finally, the two powerful people and big gold masters are finally happy enough. The old lady said, ¡°No, we won¡¯t give you more money.¡± Zhang Yansheng was stunned. CH 92 ¡°Why?¡± Zhang Yansheng argued, ¡°You have clearly agreed with this project.¡± The old lady said, ¡°It¡¯s not about the project itself, it¡¯s because of you.¡± Zhang Yansheng looked at the old lady in surprise. ¡°Yanyan, this is your first investment in life.¡± The old lady said. Zhang Yansheng felt that she understood, and she said with great certainty: ¡°But Grandma, this movie project will really make money.¡± Zhang Yansheng is very confident. How high is the return on investment of¡¶Leaving the Solar System¡·? It is said to be as high as 350%! The old lady said, ¡°If I think that it will not earn money, then I won¡¯t give you a penny. Yanyan, do you think I am afraid that your investment will fail and can¡¯t afford to lose? You are wrong. I am just afraid that your first investment will be too successful and make too much money.¡± Zhang Yansheng was surprised and finally felt confused. The old lady still wanted to speak, but her son held her arm down. She looked back, Zhang Huan leaned forward, looked at Zhang Yansheng, and said, ¡°Yanyan, you haven¡¯t really made money yet, so you don¡¯t understand it. It¡¯s f*cking cool to make money!¡± He actually said foul language in front of the child. The old lady slapped him with her backhand, and said angrily: ¡°Is that the right way to talk?¡± ¡°Get into the spirit, just getting into the spirit.¡± Zhang Huan said to the old lady with a smile, and then looked at Zhang Yansheng, ¡°To say that we are afraid that you will lose money, of course we are. For your first investment, of course we will worry that the investment will fail, lose too much money, damage your confidence, and it will affect you to make other investment decisions in the future.¡± ¡°But at the same time, we don¡¯t want you to make a fortune the first time you invest. Because making money is really enjoyable. Especially now, you are still so young, if you make a fortune for the first time, the pleasure is so strong that it is like gambling. It may even suppress the sanity you should have and make you develop a gambler mentality. This is worse than not being able to afford to lose, because mentality is a very important influencing factor when we make investment decisions. Every investment decision should be rational, not impulsive decisions that are stimulated by the pleasure of making money.¡± The old lady¡¯s eyes suddenly became wet. She put her fist against the tip of her nose, sniffed and said, ¡°Do you still remember?¡± ¡°Oh, look at you.¡± Zhang Huan pulled a tissue to the old lady, ¡°How can I not remember? When I made my first investment that year, the old man and you took me to the study room, N this N, N that N, you¡¯ve got so much to say. How can I forget that?¡± The old lady blew her nose and said with emotion, ¡°In a blink of an eye, it¡¯s your turn to tell that to Yanyan.¡± Zhang Huan also sighed: ¡°Isn¡¯t that, right? I didn¡¯t how time could fly so fast¡­¡± Zhang Yansheng¡¯s paternal grandfather died early, and Zhang Yansheng had no impression of him, so of course she had no feelings. Her true age is 21, and she still hasn¡¯t reached the time when she can feel the passage of time and the vicissitudes of time. Seeing the old lady and Zhang Huan like this, she could only wait helplessly. When the emotions of the two of them passed, she said, ¡°I understand what you mean, but if I control the amount of investment because of my own assessment and feel that there is a risk, it will only be a matter of controlling the amount of investment. But if I clearly expect that this project would explode and gave up investing more funds because of what you said, so on the day it exploded, how uncomfortable it would be for me to think that I missed so much money. Have you thought about it too?¡± Zhang Huan said bluntly: ¡°I think you feel very uncomfortable now.¡± His eyes are quite sharp. After Zhang Yansheng swelled up, she really thought about how much money she would lose if she invested less money. There was indeed a fluctuating mood in her emotions. Zhang Yansheng said: ¡°How could I feel so good for losing such a great opportunity?¡± ¡°So, you think the mentality your grandmother and I told you is just how to face failure and how to control self-expansion?¡± Zhang Huan said, ¡°Yanyan, you have to learn how to deal with this kind of emotion of ¡®what if¡¯.¡± The old lady smiled and said, ¡°This is really just right. You think that the movie project you fancy will be a big hit and will make a lot of money, right? But why can¡¯t you make more money, Yanyan?¡± Zhang Yansheng pondered for a moment, then raised her eyes: ¡°Because of my limited ability now, I can only persuade you to give me such money, but I can¡¯t persuade you to give me more money.¡± She felt uncomfortable that she had missed out on the money she could make, but she never thought that the ¡®money she thought she could make¡¯ was beyond her ability. A person like her who was born with a golden spoon and never worried about money has lost her usual heart before the two words ¡®making money¡¯. It can be seen how strong the temptation to make money is for ordinary people. Under this temptation, it is really easy to make irrational decisions. Zhang Yansheng came to understand and was relieved. The old lady and Zhang Huan looked at each other and smiled. Zhang Yansheng looked at his biological father with a gratifying smile on his face, and suddenly asked in good spirits: ¡°How was the result of my father¡¯s first investment that year?¡± The warm atmosphere stopped abruptly, and the air suddenly became quiet. The old lady turned her face away. Zhang Huan restrained his smile, tapped the desktop with his knuckles, and said lightly: ¡°Is the result important? What is really important is that we should learn to make rational decisions at a young age. Once this decision is made, no matter what the result is, it must be accepted calmly. A rich third generation like me, a rich fourth generation like you, and more importantly, the accomplishment. Don¡¯t think of it a derogatory term. Ask your grandmother, how many other families who were friends with our family back then can continue up to the present? There are a few more that have fallen!¡± Zhang Yansheng stared at him for a while. Zhang Huan¡¯s eyebrows were awe-inspiring. Zhang Yansheng: ¡°You lost it?¡± Zhang Huan: ¡°¡­!¡± Old lady: ¡°Puff!¡± It was Zhang Yansheng¡¯s uncle, Zhang Yu, who rescued Zhang Huan, whose face was already poop-colored. Zhang Yu pushed the door in a very timely. He came in and asked, ¡°How did I hear that Yanyan is here? Oh, what are you doing?¡± Zhang Yansheng politely shouted ¡°Uncle¡±, Zhang Huan was rescued, and hurriedly told his elder brother: ¡°Yanyan has found a project and wants to invest money. This is to give us a presentation and take the money from our pockets.¡± Zhang Yu was very surprised and asked, ¡°Really?¡± The old lady smiled and said, ¡°Yes, we have decided to give her money.¡± This means that the old lady and Zhang Huan have approved the project that Zhang Yansheng found. Zhang Yu asked Zhang Yansheng, ¡°Where did Yanyan find the project?¡± It doesn¡¯t matter what the project itself is or how much money to invest. Zhang Yu just wanted to know where Zhang Yansheng, a high school student, found a reliable investment project, and where did she get the channel? Zhang Yansheng said: ¡°Just a few days ago, I went to that forum with grandma. I thought it was very good. I just told my grandma and my dad about it. They agreed.¡± Zhang Qi also went to that forum. Zhang Yu said, ¡°Why haven¡¯t I heard Qiqi mention it? Haven¡¯t you gone there together?¡± The old lady smiled slightly. Zhang Yansheng explained: ¡°Sister Qiqi was busy listening to the forum at the time, so I wandered around and met someone.¡± So, she found a project that was so reliable enough for both the old lady and Zhang Huan to agree to invest money? Even if they only invested 2 or 3 million yuan for her to test the water, that would have recognized her. Zhang Yu¡¯s expression was a bit subtle. He couldn¡¯t help asking, ¡°How much are you going to invest?¡± Zhang Yansheng told him: ¡°My dad gave me 10 million. Grandma said before that as long as I can convince my dad to invest money, she will double the amount my dad will give. Therefore, Grandma will give me 20 million. Uncle, those who see it can have a share, why don¡¯t you support me too?¡± With her own father and grandmother, it is not Zhang Yu¡¯s turn to give her money. Zhang Yansheng was in a good mood and just made a little joke. Zhang Yu also knew it, so he scolded her with a smile: ¡°You little money grubber.¡± The mood is very subtle. When he got home in the evening, he called Zhang Qi over and asked, ¡°What have you done in that forum you attended a few days ago?¡± Zhang Qi said, ¡°I have been taking care of my grandmother and have never left her side.¡± Zhang Yu asked, ¡°How specific is it?¡± Zhang Qi was surprised: ¡°I just listened to the forum. I took notes, then had lunch and dinner with Grandma, and took Grandma back to her room in the evening.¡± ¡°Then what did Yanyan do?¡± Zhang Yu asked. When it comes to Zhang Yansheng, Zhang Qi is not angry: ¡°Don¡¯t mention it, she just listened to it honestly all morning. On the first afternoon, she went out and ran around. She didn¡¯t eat with us during dinner. I don¡¯t know what messy people she had met.¡± Zhang Yu knew that it must be this ¡®messy person¡¯ who introduced the investment project to Zhang Yansheng. Otherwise, Zhang Yansheng, a high school student, where would she find a project investment? His mood became more subtle, and he looked at his daughter. He has to say that she has not done well¡­ and he felt that it is really unfair to her if he said that. They all told her to take care of her grandmother, and she never left her side. Just talking about taking notes, he can¡¯t say anything about her. She is a student. When she listens to this kind of thing, she can take notes to show that she is serious. Thinking about it this way, he felt that Zhang Qi really has done nothing wrong or even did badly. But Zhang Yu was just uncomfortable, and there was an indescribable awkwardness. Zhang Yansheng¡¯s aunt came over and asked, ¡°What¡¯s the matter? Why did you talk about the forum again all of a sudden?¡± Didn¡¯t he ask their daughter when she came back a few days ago? She heard her say that she took good care of the old lady, and both husband and wife praised her. But she was familiar with her husband, and she could see that his expression was a bit strange. Zhang Yu said, ¡°Yanyan, she came back from the forum and took a fancy to a film project, and she persuaded my mother and brother to invest money in her.¡± His wife and Zhang Qi were stunned together. His wife asked, ¡°Mom gave her money? How much did she give? Two million? Five million?¡± She felt that 5 million would be enough for high school students to play with. After all, children can¡¯t mess around with adults. Five million is not much, but it is also money. Zhang Qi also listened with bated breath, wanting to know the answer. Zhang Yu¡¯s expression became more subtle. ¡°My mother gave her 20 million, and my second brother gave her 10 million. She is going to invest a total of 30 million yuan.¡± CH 93 Zhang Yansheng is in a good mood. Through her self-awareness, her heart swelled, but she was awakened afterwards. And now, her mentality was completely different from before. She calculated it for a while. Although he said he¡¯d give her a whole number and told her not to touch her 4-million private money, in fact, her private money was just kept there, which was of no great use. She decided to put the 4 million yuan in and invest for¡¶Leaving the Solar System¡·. This is not considered a radical investment, because first of all, she is open to hang up and predict the future; second, the 4 million yuan is just a ¡®spare money¡¯ for Zhang Yansheng, even if she loses it by investing in real unknown results, it will not hurt her muscles and bones. This matter is settled. She just needs to wait for Xu Lichen to see how much he can take out. Xu Lichen was pulled in because she was 100% sure that this was a profitable business, and this was a movie that Xu Lichen loved so much in the previous life. With his fanaticism, she would really feel sorry for him if she didn¡¯t call him. But Zhang Yansheng also thought of her maternal uncle ¡ª a 100% chance to make money, so of course, she would like to share it with people close to her. There are not many people close to her, but her maternal uncle is a very important one. Zhang Yansheng then called her uncle. After the greetings, she talked about¡¶Leaving the Solar System¡·, although it was only over the phone and not as detailed as in the conference room of the headquarters today, but she still explained the details clearly. Her uncle smiled and said, ¡°Do you want to ask your uncle for money? Okay, uncle will support you with 500,000 yuan.¡± Zhang Yansheng was startled and said, ¡°No, I think it is a good project, so I want you to invest together¡­¡± Her uncle laughed loudly and said, ¡°Yanyan can still think of uncle if there is a good thing, uncle didn¡¯t love you in vain.¡± Zhang Yansheng finally reacted and realized that his uncle didn¡¯t intend to invest at all. There is no need to chase the reason for this matter. Maybe her uncle¡¯s liquidity is tight. Maybe her uncle thinks she is just a child playing around. Maybe her uncle just doesn¡¯t like to get involved in the film and television industry¡­ There are too many possibilities for ¡®why¡¯. Although it was a bit regrettable, Zhang Yansheng knew when to stop, so she said with a smile: ¡°Forget it, I just mentioned it casually.¡± Her uncle said, ¡°Wait, I¡¯ll transfer the money to you.¡± Zhang Yansheng hurriedly said, ¡°No, if you don¡¯t want to invest, then you don¡¯t need to give me money.¡± Her uncle smiled and said, ¡°Isn¡¯t this your first investment? Uncle has to support it anyway.¡± Zhang Yansheng said, ¡°Then I¡¯ll count it as your investment, and you will make a lot of money from me in the future.¡± Her uncle laughed, not taking it seriously. After hanging up the phone, his wife asked, ¡°What¡¯s the matter? What¡¯s that 500,000 yuan?¡± Her husband told everything to her, but she was unhappy: ¡°You are so generous.¡± Her uncle said solemnly: ¡°It¡¯s not a lot of money.¡± ¡°In the eyes of the Zhang family, of course that is not a lot of money.¡± Her aunt said unhappily, ¡°If you take out that amount of money, she may not receive it well. She might even think that you are stingy.¡± Her uncle said hurriedly, ¡°Yanyan is not that kind of child.¡± Her aunt was unhappy for a while, but her emotions passed, and she said, ¡°Forget it, forget it, she¡¯s my niece anyway.¡± Her uncle said happily: ¡°That¡¯s right!¡± Her aunt said, ¡°Then can you discuss it with me first next time, so as not to throw hundreds of thousands of nuts out by yourself?¡± Her uncle hurriedly said, ¡°Definitely, next time!¡± In fact, the specific amount of private money in Zhang Yansheng¡¯s hands is more than 3 million. She wants to make up another 400,000 yuan. There is no need to make up for this, her uncle¡¯s money was added in, and it just happened to be made up the whole amount. Xu Lichen also quickly called her: ¡°It¡¯s done! I can get 10 million out.¡± Zhang Yansheng asked, ¡°Do you mean to buy a motorcycle or¡­?¡± ¡°Zhang Yansheng, you¡¯re looking down on me again, right?¡± Xu Lichen grinned, ¡°I told my mother seriously.¡± Zhang Yansheng smiled: ¡°Congratulations.¡± Xu Lichen hummed a few times, but couldn¡¯t help but say, ¡°You don¡¯t know how shocked my mother was.¡± Zhang Yansheng said, ¡°I can imagine.¡± She asked again: ¡°So your mother, did she agree with this project, or did she just give you money because she wanted to reward you for doing business?¡± Xu Lichen was taken aback, pondered for a while, and tentatively said, ¡°Half and half?¡± ¡°Actually, there is not much money. I will take 5 million by myself, and she will give me 5 million.¡± Xu Lichen said, ¡°It¡¯s really not much, just 5 million. Even if I don¡¯t invest it in, I will lose it blindly, and I can lose it in three strokes. She must think that it is better to invest it in than to lose it blindly.¡± Zhang Yansheng almost laughed out loud and said, ¡°Then I will confirm with the other side.¡± ¡°Wait, wait, wait, wait!¡± Xu Lichen said, ¡°I¡¯m just saying, do we have to go to the field to inspect it? Otherwise, it would be too easy to invest the money.¡± Zhang Yansheng¡¯s blind spot was awakened. Zhang Yansheng relied on her foreknowledge of her previous life and knew in her heart that¡¶Leaving the Solar System¡·would explode 100%, and she never thought about going to the field to see it or anything. But for normal investment, don¡¯t you really need to have it carefully examined? Zhang Yansheng contacted Mo Lin and said that she wanted to go on a field inspection. Mo Lin agreed: ¡°I will arrange it.¡± Mo Lin is very efficient in doing things, and she quickly contacted Director Xie. The next day, Zhang Yansheng told Zhang Huan: ¡°I¡¯m going for field inspection of the project¡±, and left with a suitcase in tow. Zhang Huan: ¡°¡­¡± Just like that. Zhang Yansheng and Xu Lichen flew to Xie¡¯s place. Mo Lin couldn¡¯t leave an investment promotion meeting and couldn¡¯t fly over in time, so Director Xie received them. Although it was already known from Mo Lin that they were two very young people, Director Xie was still surprised seeing how young the two of them were. But if you have money, then you are an ancestor! Director Xie received them meticulously according to the process of receiving financial backers. After holding a meeting and answering questions, he took them to the filming site for further explanation. On the filming site, Xu Lichen¡¯s eyes were shining throughout the process. Having dinner together in the evening, Xu Lichen drank a few glasses of wine, patted the table and said to Director Xie, ¡°I¡¯m not afraid of losing! It doesn¡¯t matter! If you are going to lose money, I will support our Chinese science fiction business!¡± Director Xie burst into tears on the spot: ¡°Xiao Xu!¡± They pushed a glass towards each other. Zhang Yansheng: ¡°¡­¡± Zhang Yansheng called Mo Lin: ¡°We will stay here for another day tomorrow because he still wants to see the shooting process. We will go back to K City tomorrow night.¡± Then, they will discuss the next thing with Mo Lin. Mo Lin wanted to invite her to her promotion meeting before, but Zhang Yansheng was actually only interested in¡¶Leaving the Solar System¡·, so she didn¡¯t go and she came directly to Director Xie. Mo Lin said, ¡°My promotion meeting is over. I will fly to K City tomorrow. Shall we meet the day after tomorrow?¡± Zhang Yansheng: ¡°Okay.¡± The next day, Zhang Yansheng and Xu Lichen went to the filming site again. If it weren¡¯t for Zhang Yansheng pulling Xu Lichen, Xu Lichen would have been eager to get into the camera. Xu Lichen was still reluctant to leave when they left, so Zhang Yansheng grabbed him by the collar and took him to the airport. On the plane, she asked, ¡°How is your dad and your mom now?¡± Xu Lichen¡¯s hot brain became clearer, and he smiled at himself: ¡°What else can they do, just show kindness and love. On their wedding anniversary a few days ago, they had a big party and invited all the company¡¯s high-level employees.¡± In the past, he would think that his parents were really nauseous, and they had such big battles every time. Looking back now, they were all numb in the open. Those moments that were supposed to be warm for two people were shared so magnificently with many irrelevant people. ¡°I think I can be an actor.¡± He said jokingly, ¡°I have the genes of both of them, and my acting skills are definitely not bad.¡± His emotions and reactions to this incident were much more relaxed than in her previous life. But this may only be because both his parents have not yet reached the stage of tearing their faces and fierce conflicts. Zhang Yansheng looked at the sea of clouds outside the porthole window and stopped talking in silence. In the evening, when she returned to K City, she went to Zhang Huan: ¡°I will meet with the people from the investment company tomorrow. Is there anything I should pay attention to?¡± Zhang Huan put the tip of his tongue against the flesh of his cheeks. ¡°¡­¡± Zhang Yansheng turned around, ¡°Since you¡¯re not saying anything, then I¡¯ll just ask my grandmother instead.¡± ¡°Hey, come back, come back!¡± Zhang Huan was so angry, ¡°I haven¡¯t spoken yet, what kind of impatience do you have, let it be whoever it is!¡± Zhang Yansheng stared at him sternly. ¡°Ahem!¡± Zhang Huan cleared his throat, ¡°Who will be there tomorrow?¡± ¡°Big Sister Mo, me, and a classmate of mine. He plans to invest 10 million yuan.¡± ¡°Huh? A male or female classmate?¡± Zhang Huan suddenly became alert. Zhang Yansheng: ¡°¡­Does this investment have anything to do with gender?¡± ¡°It doesn¡¯t matter, but¡­¡± ¡°Can you get to the point?¡± Zhang Huan asked his daughter to come back and said angrily, ¡°Don¡¯t you think there is someone missing?¡± Zhang Yansheng: ¡°?¡± Zhang Huan said, ¡°You will go into the battle by yourself? Then you¡¯ll bring a classmate whom I don¡¯t know if it¡¯s a man or woman? Do you, two little kids, understand the contract pitfalls, or do you understand the loopholes in the terms?¡± ¡°Legal affairs!¡± Zhang Huan patted the table, ¡°What does the legal staff of the headquarters who have a department do?¡± Zhang Yansheng suddenly realized. In fact, it is common sense to know as soon as you are reminded. But before she was reminded, it was completely a blind spot. To put it bluntly, she said that she wanted to invest, but she didn¡¯t know what she should do. After all, she was just a college student from her previous life until her death. When things come, she has no experience, and even common-sense things are blind spots to her. Zhang Huan admired Zhang Yansheng¡¯s sudden and annoyed appearance for a while, and said with a smile: ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I¡¯ll arrange it for you. I have already informed the Legal Affairs Department, and someone will accompany you tomorrow.¡± Zhang Yansheng stared at him: ¡°So if I don¡¯t ask, you¡¯re not going to tell me, am I right?¡± Waiting to see her make jokes, right? ¡°With the heart of a villain, to save the belly of a gentleman!¡±1ÒÔСÈËÖ®ÐÄ£¬¶È¾ý×ÓÖ®¸¹ ¨C ¡°With the heart of a villain, to save the belly of a gentleman¡± means to use despicable ideas to speculate on the minds of decent people. It is mostly used to reprimand and criticize others. Zhang Huan yelled, ¡°You basically just ran away with a suitcase and didn¡¯t give me a chance to speak.¡± Zhang Yansheng didn¡¯t believe it. It¡¯s normal for her to be dumbfounded without experience, but it¡¯s impossible for Zhang Huan and the others to have the same common sense as eating and drinking water. The old lady probably thought that Zhang Huan was there to remind her about this. The father and daughter lived under the same roof, so she expects that Zhang Huan would definitely mention something. For Zhang Huan, this is something that can be solved by just saying it casually. He hasn¡¯t mentioned it for the past two or three days. He must have been secretly rubbing and holding back, wanting to see her fall to her knees, so that she could cry for help in front of him! CH 94 Mo Lin¡¯s plane landed in K City early in the morning. She took a short nap on the plane, got off the plane, washed her face, brushed her teeth, and put on makeup in the airport bathroom. She didn¡¯t even check in at the hotel, and went straight to the clients first. Very dedicated. President Yue is also a new boss she met at the financial forum, and he is interested in a project in her hands. She had invited him to her investment promotion meeting before, but it was a bad time, President Yue couldn¡¯t get away with something, so Mo Lin flew over for him. When they met, there was a handsome young man beside President Yue, with good-looking eyebrows and a clear temperament. Sitting on the side, he didn¡¯t speak much and listened quietly. Mo Lin thought he was an assistant, secretary, or something, and just thought that President Yue paid great attention to appearance when he chose the secretary. The meeting went very smoothly. Mo Lin has dry goods here. She herself has excellent professional quality, and President Yue¡¯s questions were all restrained. President Yue smiled and nodded, obviously very satisfied. Mo Lin sighed softly in her heart. The young man beside President Yue who had been silent for a while suddenly leaned forward and asked two questions. Mo Lin immediately cheered up and answered in detail. After answering, she looked at President Yue: ¡°This is¡­?¡± She felt that his tone of voice didn¡¯t sound like a secretary. President Yue said, ¡°He is my grandson, Yue Song.¡± He would take the person with him, so he naturally attached great importance to this person and wanted to teach him personally. Mo Lin wisely offered some rainbow farts.1²Êºçƨ ¨C Rainbow Fart is a literal translation word from Chinese, which means giving somebody exaggerated compliment that even seems a little fake. Sure enough, there are no parents who don¡¯t like to hear others praise their children. For big guys like President Yue, they would usually raise their chins slightly and say modestly: ¡°Where, what, I¡¯m flattered.¡± Mo Lin praised and said, ¡°This is the first time I have come to K City. It is really a place of outstanding spiritual people, elite young talents. The client I will meet tomorrow is a high school student, who has already started to operate capital and learn to invest.¡± ¡°Oh, high school student?¡± President Yue turned his head and smiled at Yue Song, ¡°From whose family is this, is the child in such a hurry at such a young age?¡± Yue Song looked at Mo Lin, she smiled, but closed her mouth, obviously not revealing the client¡¯s information. President Yue and Yue Song didn¡¯t ask again, and they just asked casually: ¡°What is this kid planning to invest in?¡± Mo Lin said, ¡°It¡¯s a movie, a science fiction movie.¡± Yue Song was surprised: ¡°Domestic science fiction?¡± Mo Lin said: ¡°Yes.¡± Yue Song said: ¡°It won¡¯t be¡­¡¶Leaving the Solar System¡·, right?¡± Mo Lin smiled: ¡°Are you a fan?¡± The movie hasn¡¯t come out yet, only fans will pay attention. ¡°I¡¯m a fan of the original work. The original work is really excellent.¡± Yue Song pondered and said, ¡°Is this project still being financed?¡± Mo Lin sat up straight: ¡°Yes, it¡¯s in progress. Would you like to hear me tell you about it?¡± President Yue looked at his watch. Yue Song said: ¡°We will have a meeting after this, so please send the information to my grandfather¡¯s secretary, Miss Mo, and let him pass it on to me.¡± Mo Lin: ¡°?¡± President Yue smiled: ¡°He is still studying. He is only in his sophomore year in college.¡± Mo Lin suddenly realized: ¡°No wonder I thought that Young Master Yue looked very young, but he was very calm, so I didn¡¯t dare to guess his age.¡± President Yue smiled flatteringly. When Mo Lin left, President Yue said to Yue Song: ¡°The little girl is very hardworking. When I saw her in the forum, she was on crutches while smiling and talking with people, she was very energetic. Looking at her, oh, such a little girl, should be given a chance.¡± Yue Song nodded. To President Yue, she is a little girl; and to him, she is a big sister. ¡°If you are looking for a wife in the future, you must also find someone who can fight and be capable.¡± President Yue thought bitterly, ¡°You have to exercise your body well yourself, and don¡¯t worry about me like your father and your mother.¡± Yue Song said helplessly: ¡°Others have tiger mothers and wolf fathers, and our family has a wolf grandfather. You have watched me grow up since I was a child. It¡¯s not that you don¡¯t know how healthy I am, and you always worry about it.¡± The old man snorted and said, ¡°Anyway, you have to find a wife who is healthy, can run and jump, and can be literate and trained in martial arts in the future!¡± Yue Song¡¯s mother was not in good health and is delicate and weak. Yue Song¡¯s father was also in poor health. The two of them were childhood sweethearts, and they were so weak that they looked after each other. As simple as that! The old man was heartbroken for them, and even the grandson was brought up by the old man himself. The old man raised a delicate son who married a delicate wife. Finally, his grandson was strong and healthy. He wanted to marry him to another healthy and strong wife to improve the genes of the Yue family. ¡°Oh, Xiao Mo¡¯s face has a round appearance, which symbolizes unity and happiness. When she speaks, her shoulders are straight and full of energy! It makes people feel comfortable to look at it! Alas, it¡¯s a pity that she¡¯s a bit older¡­¡± The old man regrets. Yue Song pinched his glabella: ¡°Grandpa, I¡¯m still in school.¡± ¡°What¡¯s wrong with going to school? Did the school delay you from finding a wife?¡± Mo Lin was paralyzed as soon as she got into the taxi. She took out her cellphone and sent a message to her friend: ¡°I¡¯m exhausted. I got up at 4 o¡¯clock in the morning. I arrived here in K City at 8 o¡¯clock. I had to meet a client directly without stopping! I just set off to go to the hotel now! I will take another nap later. I didn¡¯t sleep enough on the plane. There was a naughty kid in the back row who always kicked me on the back of the chair, and it annoyed me to death.¡± ¡°I have to meet with another client tomorrow. If there is no problem, I will fly back tomorrow afternoon. There is still due diligence waiting for me! I¡¯m exhausted to death, exhausted to death, people are not as good as dogs!¡± She said again: ¡°K City is really a fairy place. Today, the client brought a handsome young man, and I thought it was a secretary or something. It turned out to be his grandson. Let me tell you, he¡¯s only in his sophomore year in college!¡± ¡°What am I doing during the winter vacation in my sophomore year? I remembered! I¡¯m paralyzed at home watching ¡®Happy Sheep¡¯! That good guy, in his sophomore year, is already sitting in the office wearing Armani suits and talking to me about investment!¡± ¡°I¡¯ll be even more f*ck up tomorrow. The high school student I told you about before, I will see her tomorrow. She also pulled another high school student. Two high school students! A total of 40-million-yuan investments! Do you think I should be a lemon, a lemon, or a lemon?¡±2ÄûÃÊ ¨C lemon = acid = jealousy ¡°What kind of spiritual spring water did the children in this K City grow up drinking? Those who race one by one have been born at the finish line of other people¡¯s lives. They actually work harder than you? I don¡¯t feel that I¡¯ll be able to live anymore.¡± After a while, her friend replied: ¡°F*ck! Don¡¯t give me this poisonous chicken soup! Deadline is still three days away, and I am paralyzed gracefully. Now, you¡¯re telling me this? I was so scared that I quickly got up to write a repo!¡± [repo ¨C another term for repurchase agreement; repossess (a car or other item) when a buyer defaults on payments] Mo Lin: ¡°What kind of paralysis?! I didn¡¯t reincarnate into a rich second generation! Are you qualified to work? Nothing else can compare, you can¡¯t even compare your hard work to the rich second generation! Go to work for my master!¡± Friend: ¡°I have already gotten up after all and now writing a repo!!!¡± When Mo Lin arrived at the hotel, she sent Yue Song the business plan for¡¶Leaving the Solar System¡·before making up for her sleep. When she woke up, she had become a girl with a dragon spirit and a tiger¡¯s fierceness. After making a few phone calls in a row, her fingers are now flying on the keyboard, and her eyes became serious. She called Zhang Yansheng to confirm the time and place of the meeting tomorrow. She was about to go to bed when a strange call came. Picking it up, the other party said, ¡°Miss Mo, this is Yue Song, we met this morning.¡± Mo Lin immediately became energetic: ¡°Young Master Yue!¡± Yue Song¡¯s voice is magnetic, and the speed of speech is neither too fast nor slow: ¡°I¡¯ve read the plan and I am a little interested in this. Can I talk to you about some unclear areas? Are you still in K City?¡± ¡°Yes. I¡¯m going to see a client tomorrow morning.¡± Mo Lin asked, ¡°Do you think it¡¯s okay for us to meet in the afternoon?¡± The two agreed on a time. Mo Lin changed her ticket for tomorrow from afternoon to evening, so she could sleep with peace of mind. The next day, she met Zhang Yansheng and Xu Lichen with great energy. The meeting place was arranged at the headquarters of the Zhang family enterprise. Xu Lichen brought a middle-aged aunt and introduced: ¡°Lawyer.¡± His mother arranged it. Zhang Yansheng also has a lawyer assigned to her by the Legal Affairs Department of the headquarters. Once the investment intention is decided, the next step is for the lawyers to fight with Mo Lin and negotiate the terms without any fuss. Xu Lichen almost fell asleep. Later, he played with his cellphone. Zhang Yansheng could still hold on to listen. Gradually, she realized that if she hadn¡¯t foretold the future in advance, it was really inappropriate to do these things at this age. The amount of knowledge reserves is still not up to the point. In the previous life, her college life was just a mess, and she didn¡¯t learn anything. Her whole person is hollow. Zhang Yansheng was sweating coldly. Mo Lin worked hard to deal with the two lawyers. She has always been the one who fights harder and braver. She fights one and two, and the more she fights, the more energetic she is. Zhang Yansheng had been observing her, and the corners of her mouth couldn¡¯t help but smile. During the coffee break, she asked Mo Lin, ¡°Big Sister Mo, which university did you graduate from?¡± Mo Lin said, ¡°From Y University.¡± Xu Lichen¡¯s lawyer pushed her glasses: ¡°Y University, it¡¯s next door to my alma mater.¡± ¡°Huh?¡± Zhang Yansheng¡¯s lawyer asked, ¡°Did you also graduate from R University?¡± ¡°Yes, you too?¡± ¡°So, you are my senior sister?¡± They talked about some school things, and also talked about the restaurants they used to go to when they were in university. Xu Lichen¡¯s lawyer said, ¡°I don¡¯t know if he is still there?¡± Zhang Yansheng¡¯s lawyer said, ¡°He was still there when I graduated.¡± Mo Lin said, ¡°Yes, he¡¯s still there. I went to see my classmates who stayed in the university last month to go out and eat once.¡± These people who graduated from prestigious universities suddenly became closer and became acquainted. Zhang Yansheng and Xu Lichen, two school scumbags, ate small cakes silently, listening to them talk about their respective universities and the alumni of each other they met at work. In the end, Mo Lin¡¯s husband, a senior in the company, was actually in the same class as Xu Lichen¡¯s lawyer. Zhang Yansheng found it interesting. During the chat, Mo Lin glanced at the door of the conference room several times. Later, while the lawyers went to the bathroom, she finally couldn¡¯t help but say to Zhang Yansheng: ¡°There is a man who has been going back and forth outside the conference room for a long time ¡ª it¡¯s been many times now. Is there anything wrong?¡± It¡¯s sneaky which makes people a little worried. ¡°Don¡¯t pay attention to him.¡± Zhang Yansheng said with a sullen face, ¡°That¡¯s my dad.¡± The air was quiet for a second. Mo Lin: ¡°Puff!¡± Zhang Yansheng also felt very embarrassed, but she felt that it would be even more embarrassing if she went out in person to drive Zhang Huan away. She could only stand still. Mo Lin smiled and said, ¡°Is it the first time he has done this kind of thing?¡± Zhang Yansheng said with a smelly face: ¡°Probably.¡± Xu Lichen felt that he had finally won: ¡°That is because he treats you as a child in his heart! Look at me, my mother just asked Lawyer Zhou to be with me, and she was very relieved.¡± He finally fought back, triumphantly. Zhang Yansheng stepped on his foot. Xu Lichen¡¯s face became very excited. Zhang Huan sneakily went to the old lady¡¯s office: ¡°It¡¯s a male classmate!¡± The old lady lifted her eyebrows from behind her reading glasses: ¡°So what¡¯s the matter?¡± Zhang Huan: ¡°It¡¯s a man!¡± CH 95 ¡°That¡¯s not a woman, so of course it¡¯s a man.¡± The old lady looked at this mentally handicapped son, ¡°What else could it be?¡± Zhang Huan felt for a while that talking to his old mother was like talking to a duck. ¡°No.¡± He said, ¡°Yanyan said that she thought this project was good, so she called a classmate to invest together. Why did she call a male classmate? Are all her female classmates dead?¡± The old lady wondered: ¡°After giving birth to you, how many years has it been since I was liberated?¡± Zhang Huan: ¡°?¡± Old lady: ¡°I lost it early in the morning.¡± ¡°¡­!¡± Zhang Huan, ¡°Yanyan is still young!¡± ¡°Did you think that she is still young when you let her make an investment of 30 million?¡± The old lady asked him, ¡°What is it in your brain? Water?¡± Zhang Huan sat down on a chair and said, ¡°Let me tell you, when that kid came in the morning, he greeted me. Let me ask you, do you know who his parents are?¡± The old lady said, ¡°No matter who they are, these are people who can give 10 million yuan to test the water for their children, which are similar to us.¡± ¡°No! We can¡¯t just look at the money!¡± Zhang Huan said angrily, ¡°This kid has a bad family style!¡± The old lady lifted her eyebrows from behind her reading glasses again. Zhang Huan told the old lady about the gossip he knew: ¡°His father raised an illegitimate son outside, the same age as him! So, tell me, just with this family style, should I let Yanyan be friends with him? Are you willing?¡± The old lady slowly took off her reading glasses, pinched her glabella, and slowly asked, ¡°Tell me, just you, what mentality do you use to say that other people¡¯s family style is not right?¡± Zhang Huan: ¡°¡­¡± ¡°Tell me.¡± The old lady asked, ¡°When were Hehe and Shuoshuo born? Was Xiao Min dead or alive at that time?¡± Zhang Huan sweated on his forehead: ¡°No, we¡¯re talking about others! Why are you talking about me?!¡± ¡°Someone else? I don¡¯t care about others, and they don¡¯t beep here and there in front of my eyes.¡± The old lady said, ¡°I wonder why your face is so big? Can you just simply say such a thing? Why don¡¯t you look at yourself in the mirror?¡± Zhang Huan felt so wronged: ¡°I am different from others. His wife is healthy, how about me? Xiao Min has been ill for several years, and I don¡¯t even have a married life. Can I be the same as him?¡± The old lady looked at him: ¡°Back then, I told you to have a traditional wedding, and you had to have a foreign wedding in the church. What did you say there about marriage? ¡®Life, old age, illness and death cannot separate you and her¡¯, right? Then, did you do what you said there?¡± Zhang Huan¡¯s words are poor. The old lady sighed: ¡°I have always felt sorry for Xiao Min. During Xiao Min¡¯s last moments, I went to see her and felt that she had lost the joy of life. She was walking restlessly. If you had waited for Xiao Min to leave, then find another one, no one would talk about you. If you only let Xiao Min know that you are a responsible man and can walk with confidence. But look at what sh*t you did! How uneasy it was for Xiao Min when she left! You didn¡¯t even let her go in peace!¡± Only after her daughter-in-law left that year did the old lady learn about the existence of Zhang Heling and Zhang Shuocheng, which made her very angry. But on one side is the daughter-in-law who has passed away, and everything is empty when people die, and on the other side are the grandchildren who are alive and kicking. It is impossible for the old lady not to kiss her grandchildren for the sake of her dead daughter-in-law. Zhang Huan¡¯s eyes were wet. ¡°I didn¡¯t¡­¡± He argued for himself, ¡°Before Xiao Min left, I swore to her that I would never treat Yanyan badly. Mom, I¡¯m telling you, I have a clear conscience! I really have never treated Yanyan badly! Even if her uncle is here, he can¡¯t say that I am not good to Yanyan! I¡¯m telling you that I have long thought about it. In the future, Yanyan will marry and I will prepare a thick dowry for her!¡± The old lady looked at him: ¡°Do you think it¡¯s just a matter of money to say that you treat her badly or not?¡± A look of confusion appeared in Zhang Huan¡¯s eyes. The old lady sighed. ¡°You, when will you grow up¡­¡± Zhang Yansheng¡¯s side went relatively smoothly. In fact, at this step, there is nothing wrong with her. After the decision maker has taken a picture, someone will naturally do specific work. If it were Zhang Huan, he would have already given it to the department below at this step. It¡¯s just that Zhang Yansheng hasn¡¯t entered the family business at all and doesn¡¯t understand anything. Zhang Huan and the old lady also deliberately asked her to listen to it and know what the process is. Seeing that it was all done, Mo Lin finally asked: ¡°So, do you have anything to add?¡± Zhang Yansheng listened to the whole process, glanced at her own lawyer, and the lawyer nodded slightly at her. When Zhang Yansheng was about to say ¡°No more¡±, Xu Lichen suddenly said, ¡°I have!¡± He also raised his hand! Do you think you are in class? Immediately afterwards, everyone heard the young master, who was sleepy all the time, loudly said his appeal: ¡°I want to participate in the movie!¡± The air suddenly became quiet. Zhang Yansheng turned her head slowly, looked at Xu Lichen, a big fool, and squeezed out a voice from between her teeth: ¡°A new semester is about to start and you still want to play around?!¡± Have you finished your homework during the winter vacation? Didn¡¯t we just discuss bringing capital into the group? With the nature of his second-grade disease, she can¡¯t force the director to change the script and add scenes! In his previous life, Xu Lichen boasted about¡¶Leaving the Solar System¡·: ¡°Every role is personally selected by the director! Every actor meets the role requirements so well! When you look at that expression, you can guess who he is! The plot adaptation is faithful to the original and higher than the original, making up for the shortcomings of the original story.¡± So, you idiot, don¡¯t destroy your most beloved movie with your own hands! Xu Lichen said, ¡°Isn¡¯t there a few days left?¡± Is this a matter of f*cking time? If Xu Lichen really goes in there to toss around, Zhang Yansheng can¡¯t guarantee that this movie will burst into a dark horse! She felt her temples jump abruptly! She should have not called this idiot to get involved! Regret! She just regrets it! Zhang Yansheng is already considering whether to beat Xu Lichen on the spot so that she can take care of him and prevent him from harming the movie, or wait for Mo Lin to leave before beating him, so as not to scare her. Mo Lin kept the smile on her face with super professional quality: ¡°Why didn¡¯t Young Master Xu say it earlier? Tell me your thoughts and I will try to communicate with the film crew to see if we can reach an agreement.¡± Xu Lichen knew that the look on everyone¡¯s eyes was not right, so he waved his hand: ¡°Don¡¯t worry too much, I¡¯m not fooling around, and I don¡¯t want any important role, just give me one¡­¡± Zhang Yansheng asked bitterly, ¡°What do you want to do?¡± Xu Lichen said plausibly: ¡°After all, we invested our money in, so I think at least one of us should participate. Otherwise, we don¡¯t know how well this is being shot, how it is progressing, and where the money is being spent. What do you think?¡± It sounds like that. But how well Zhang Yansheng knows Xu Lichen! She squinted her eyes and looked at him for a while, and suddenly the truth came out! ¡°You just want to wear that exoskeleton mecha combat suit, right?¡± The exoskeleton mecha combat suit is customized from abroad. The cost of a single set is more than 700,000 yuan, and the weight is 70 kilograms. It adopts a real hydraulic booster device, and the shape is very cool! At the time, Xu Lichen saw it on the set and he couldn¡¯t walk away on the spot! But there are only a few sets in total. The actors wore them in turns, the shots were shot separately, and then edited later, which looked like everyone on the spacecraft was wearing them. The combat suit has been on the actor¡¯s body and has no lower body portion, and there is no time for it to be idle. Moreover, it takes the help of several people from the prop group to get it on and off, and they can only do it with seven hands and eight feet. Xu Lichen wanted to squat and wait for everyone to finish work and let him try it, but Zhang Yansheng grabbed his neck and got on the plane. ¡°Puff!¡± Zhang Yansheng¡¯s lawyer was younger and didn¡¯t hold back. Xu Lichen¡¯s lawyer turned her face away. Mo Lin kept smiling, but the corners of her mouth twitched with honeydew. Xu Lichen¡¯s face was red, and he stalked his neck and said, ¡°What are you talking about, am I so naive? I¡¯m doing it for our investment¡­¡± Zhang Yansheng turned to Mo Lin and said, ¡°He just wants to wear it, so don¡¯t worry about him. He doesn¡¯t need to participate in the show. Let¡¯s continue.¡± ¡°Heyyyyyyyy!¡± Xu Lichen¡¯s whole body was lying on the table with his arms stretched out. If the table in the conference room was not wide enough, it might have been enough for Mo Lin, ¡°I want to wear it! I want to wear it!!!¡± ¡°Then discuss it with Director Xie and give him a minor character that can wear a mecha combat suit. If it really doesn¡¯t work, let him wear it just once, and take a video of him for his satisfaction.¡± Zhang Yansheng said. Mo Lin smiled: ¡°I¡¯ll talk to him.¡± Zhang Yansheng turned her head and said to Xu Lichen: ¡°I will make three conditions with you. If you participate in the show, you will be allowed to act as you like. However, it is not allowed to change the script and add scenes. Lastly, it is absolutely not allowed for a layman to direct insiders to influence the filming.¡± Xu Lichen raised his hand and swore: ¡°I definitely won¡¯t!¡± Zhang Yansheng turned her head again. Although the smile on Mo Lin¡¯s face has not changed, Zhang Yansheng can feel her shoulders relax obviously. She smiled. Mo Lin winked her eyes and quietly gave a thumbs up. It¡¯s all done, so the lawyers pack their things and went out one step ahead. Zhang Yansheng asked Mo Lin: ¡°When will Miss Mo get on the plane?¡± Mo Lin said: ¡°I¡¯ll fly in the evening as I have to meet a client this afternoon.¡± Zhang Yansheng was slightly surprised. She thought Mo Lin had come to K City specifically for her, but she didn¡¯t expect her schedule to be so tight. There is a vigorous vitality in Mo Lin¡¯s body, which makes her particularly like it. There are actually students like that in Class 2, but compared to them, they are all just small flames, not as bright and dazzling as Mo Lin. Zhang Yansheng said: ¡°Do you still have time? I want to have lunch with you.¡± Mo Lin¡¯s eyes curled up: ¡°Of course I have time for lunch.¡± Xu Lichen leaned over: ¡°Me too¡­¡± Zhang Yansheng opened her five fingers to clasp his face and turned him aside: ¡°Have you eaten our specialties? I¡¯ll take you to eat authentic food.¡± Mo Lin was about to agree, when suddenly someone pushed the door in. Zhang Yansheng turned to look and recognized it as one of the old lady¡¯s secretaries. The secretary asked, ¡°Is Miss Yanyan done here?¡± ¡°We¡¯re done. What¡¯s the matter?¡± ¡°The chairman would like to arrange a meal with you, Miss Mo, and your classmate.¡± Zhang Yansheng smiled and shrugged at Mo Lin: ¡°I saved money for a meal.¡± Although they have not known each other for a long time, she guessed that Mo Lin would not be unwilling to eat with the old lady. Sure enough, Mo Lin smiled very sincerely and said to the secretary, ¡°Thank you so much.¡± Before Mo Lin came, she had already checked the background of Zhang Yansheng¡¯s family, and knew that the head of their family was Zhang Yansheng¡¯s grandmother. Mo Lin¡¯s job requires more acquaintance with such big guys, of course, respect is better than obedience. Xu Lichen also followed to freeload on the meal. He is happy to be able to eat with Zhang Yansheng. Old lady Zhang is also very kind and amiable. Although she chatted with Miss Mo and talked about things that she didn¡¯t like and didn¡¯t understand, she was a loving elder when facing her. Zhang Yansheng¡¯s father is a bit gloomy. He has a weird look at him, a bit scary. Like a psycho. CH 96 Mo Lin¡¯s schedule is particularly tight. Taking advantage of the time to go to the bathroom, she rinsed her mouth with mouthwash, and after bidding farewell to Zhang Yansheng, she went straight to Yue Song. This young man is still as handsome as a pine, but his calm demeanor does not make it obvious that he is still a student. He was often instructed and taught by his grandfather, a business tycoon, and he was educated from an early age. Compared with the little cabbages like Zhang Yansheng and Xu Lichen, Yue Song has clearly stepped into the business circle and has the qualities that a businessman should have. Mo Lin cheered up to deal with it. In the end, she felt that Yue Song was likely to become the next gold master of¡¶Leaving the Solar System¡·. Sure enough, Yue Song finally made a request to go on a field inspection. Mo Lin suppressed the joy in her heart and said: ¡°I¡¯ll make arrangements.¡± ¡°I hope it can be done as soon as possible because¡­¡± Yue Song said slightly apologetically, ¡°School is about to start.¡± Mo Lin covered her face. If Yue Song hadn¡¯t said that herself, she would have forgotten that Yue Song was still a student. Yue Song also smiled. At this time, there was a bit of youthfulness belonging to the young man between his eyebrows. ¡°I will confirm it for you later.¡± Mo Lin said with a smile, ¡°This is the second time I have heard the phrase ¡®school is about to start¡¯ today.¡± Yue Song still remembered that Mo Lin was going to meet her clients who are high school students today. He smiled and asked, ¡°How are the high school students?¡± ¡°It¡¯s settled.¡± Mo Lin said, ¡°Their parents are very relieved. They didn¡¯t come in person. They only sent a lawyer for each of them and asked them to talk by themselves. It went well.¡± ¡°Congratulations.¡± Yue Song grinned, ¡°Then I¡¯ll wait for your call.¡± Mo Lin said goodbye to Yue Song, went back to the hotel to get her luggage, and called Director Xie on the way to tell him: ¡°Young Mistress Zhang and Young Master Xu¡¯s 44-million-yuan investment has been approved.¡± Director Xie said ¡°that¡¯s great, that¡¯s great¡± on the phone. Mo Lin told him Xu Lichen¡¯s request, and said with a smile: ¡°He actually wants to wear that mecha combat suit.¡± Xie Dong laughed loudly: ¡°I knew it! Xiao Xu stared at the combat suit that day with his eyes straight, and he couldn¡¯t walk anymore! Young Mistress Zhang had to drag him away.¡± Mo Lin wondered why Zhang Yansheng was Young Mistrees Zhang and Xu Lichen was Xiao Xu. Director Xie suddenly started gossiping: ¡°Hey, Xiao Mo, what is the relationship between these two children? Are they¡­¡± ¡°I don¡¯t know what the relationship is between the two of them, don¡¯t ask me.¡± Mo Lin said, ¡°But I can see that Young Mistress Zhang can control Young Master Xu.¡± Director Xie laughed wildly. ¡°Then I will leave him to you.¡± Mo Lin said, ¡°The second thing, I found another potential investor for us. The other party hopes to go over and do an inspection as soon as possible.¡± ¡°Yes, he can!¡± Director Xie was surprised and delighted, and immediately agreed, ¡°Xiao Mo, you are so capable! I am here to greet him at any time, when will he come?¡± ¡°I¡¯ll confirm the time with him again.¡± When Mo Lin arrived at the airport and passed the security check, she immediately replied to Yue Song: ¡°Anytime is fine.¡± Yue Song said: ¡°I have arrangements for two days¡­ Well, I will fly over tomorrow morning.¡± Mo Lin and the two sides have finalized the time, and the specific matters have been arranged. The day¡¯s work came to an end, and she boarded the plane solemnly. Director Xie¡¯s side received Yue Song, who had flown over the next day. Yue Song didn¡¯t wear an expensive suit like he did at the office, and his shirt was neatly ironed. He dressed more casually, carrying a backpack on his two shoulders, and had no other luggage. ¡°If there are no other arrangements, then I will go back tonight.¡± he said. With such casual clothes, it is obvious that he is young. Director Xie felt that Mo Lin was amazing, and the gold masters she found could make their debuts one by one by relying on their faces. Director Xie knew that Yue Song was the grandson of a certain group boss. Although he was young, his demeanor was clearly that of a noble son. Director Xie didn¡¯t dare to neglect him at all. When he came up, he called Yue Song: ¡°Master Yue.¡± Yue Song smiled and said, ¡°I¡¯m not used to it. Master Yue has always been my grandfather.¡± Director Xie Dong had seen a lot of people, and he responded quickly: ¡°Then, Young Master Yue.¡± That¡¯s how the name was settled. Yue Song looked at the scene and asked many questions. Some are more acute, asking directly about the many difficulties that the crew may face or even have encountered. He is much more difficult to deal with than the two high school students who came before. Director Xie and the producer rallied to deal with him. When it was time to eat lunch, there was no atmosphere like pushing glass which happened with Xu Lichen before. Everyone was sitting in jeopardy, making it as if they were going to listen to a lecture. This meal was not easy to eat, and he had to deal with the questions of young master Yue at any time. Several assistant directors ate with stuffy heads, while holding their ears and listening to the bitter Old Xie talking non-stop there. Young master Yue nodded occasionally and listened intently. Finally, young master Yue said with compassion: ¡°I have nothing to ask for the time being, let¡¯s eat first.¡± Director Xie breathed a sigh of relief. The producer said, ¡°Young Master Yue is also from K City, right? This K City really produces such outstanding spirit people. We only received two investors a few days ago. They are also from K City and are very young.¡± Yue Song smiled and said, ¡°Those two high school students?¡± ¡°Oh, you know.¡± The producer said, ¡°Yes, they are high school students. Your K City is really amazing!¡± Hearing these two ¡®high school students¡¯ repeatedly in the past two days, Yue Song was still a little curious in the bottom of his heart. He knew that Mo Lin would not disclose customer information, but these people might not, so he tentatively asked, ¡°What do they do at home?¡± The producer said, ¡°I really don¡¯t know. Just the girl¡¯s surname is Zhang, and what is the boy¡¯s last name again?¡± Several people at the dining table said at the same time: ¡°Xu! The last name is Xu!¡± Yue Song thought for a moment, which two people would have the surname Zhang and Xu in K City. An assistant director took out his mobile phone: ¡°It¡¯s the two of them.¡± The mobile phone was handed over by someone else¡¯s hand, Yue Song took it and looked at it, then narrowed his eyes slightly. On the phone is a group photo of Director Xie and other assistant directors on the set, as well as a pair of young teenagers. The girl¡¯s photo was deleted by Yue Song at the beginning, but that face was hard to forget after seeing it, not to mention that Yue Song¡¯s memory was still so good, and that he was so impressed with her at the time ¡ª so deep that he went to his cousin to find out who she was. Yue Song really didn¡¯t expect it to be her. He took a closer look. She still wears makeup. At a young age, she likes makeup so much and always pretends to be an adult. The color of the lipstick is still gorgeous, which makes her look cold. There was no smile on her face when the photo was taken, so obviously it was not her idea to take the photo together. Somehow, Yue Song looked at the girl in the photo, and the corners of his mouth curled slightly. He went to look at the young boy, who should be another high school student, very handsome. Is he her boyfriend? The young couple invested together? The little arc of Yue Song¡¯s mouth was smoothed again, and he returned the phone to others: ¡°I don¡¯t know either of them.¡± ¡°But¡­¡± he sighed, ¡°They look so young.¡± The people at the dinner table thought in unison: You are not that old either! It¡¯s just that they can hook up with Xu Lichen, but they don¡¯t dare to talk casually in front of Yue Song. These words can only rot in their stomachs. When Yue Song left in the evening, the producer took him to the airport and waved goodbye to him with a smile on his face. When young master Yue¡¯s figure disappeared, the producer turned around and went to the arrival gate. After waiting there for less than half an hour, Xu Lichen appeared. The producer waved his hand: ¡°Xiao Xu!¡± ¡°Big Brother Wang!¡± Xu Lichen still remembers the producer, and he can remember anyone whom he had a drink with together. He didn¡¯t feel at odds with the older brothers and sisters who could be his own fathers at all. He waved his arms vigorously and walked over with a full face of spring: ¡°I¡¯m here, I¡¯m here!¡± His steps were very fast, as if he couldn¡¯t wait at all. When the producer saw Xu Lichen, he didn¡¯t know how to relax. He laughed and gave Xu Lichen a bear hug. The two of them went to the car affectionately, cooing all the way. ¡°Lao Xie has arranged several faceless shots for you!¡± ¡°Big Brother Wang, let me tell you that I must wear that mecha combat suit! I made it clear to Big Brother Xie on the phone!¡± ¡°Wear it?! Then you wear it! But won¡¯t you feel stinky by wearing it? The suits are worn more frequently, and the sweat is quite strong!¡± ¡°We¡¯re all men, so who still thinks it¡¯s stinky. But Big Brother Xie had already told me about it, so I bought a bottle of cologne¡­¡± ¡°Hahahahahahahahahahaha!¡± Since Zhang Yansheng was reborn, her work and rest time has been called super regular and super healthy ¡ª as a high school student. She has a fixed time for school and after school every day, and it is indeed impossible to be unhealthy. So being woken up by a cellphone ringing at 3 o¡¯clock, just few hours after midnight, is really annoying for her. But when she saw that it was Xu Lichen who was asking for a video call, Zhang Yansheng¡¯s heart suddenly contracted, and the first thought in her mind was: ¡°Did his parents tear their faces already?¡± As a result, when the video was connected, Xu Lichen on the other end had a few soot stains on his left face and blood stains on his right face, and she almost couldn¡¯t see his teeth as he was laughing so hard. ¡°Look at me! Look at me! Zhang Yansheng, look at me!¡± He stretched out his arms to zoom out the camera, exposing as much of the mecha combat suit as he could, and asked, ¡°Am I handsome? I¡¯m so handsome!¡± Zhang Yansheng: ¡°¡­¡± Zhang Yansheng felt a volcano arched up on top of her skull, and it was about to erupt! If it weren¡¯t for the internet, she would have punched Xu Lichen¡¯s handsome face! Hit him until his nose bleeds! ¡°Xu Lichen, are you sick? Do you know what time it is?!!¡± She wanted to yell at him, but she woke up suddenly in the middle of the night and seemed to be a little low in blood pressure. What she said was weak, and she didn¡¯t have her usual aura during the day. With a distance of thousands of miles, knowing that Zhang Yansheng could not reach him, Xu Lichen was not afraid. He arrogantly said: ¡°Isn¡¯t it only 3 o¡¯clock in the morning? Look at you, lying on the soft bed, sleeping soundly! Do you know what some people are doing at this time? Look at me and Big Brother Xie who are still filming now! The people in the crew are all spinning right now, I¡¯m telling you! Look at these people! Then, look at you again! Hey, don¡¯t bury your face, look at me again! I¡¯ll be on the scene in a bit! Just watch me! Quickly, look at me again! Hurry up, hurry up!¡± He urged her in a stack of voices. Zhang Yansheng was powerless to scold him. She buried her face in the pillow, woke up, calmed her blood pressure, and then raised her face for a long time: ¡°You already went there? Why didn¡¯t you tell me?¡± ¡°I can¡¯t report everything to you, you are not my mother.¡± Xu Lichen smiled, ¡°I told Big Brother Xie that I will start school in a few days, and asked him to arrange this for me as soon as possible. He said that if I could come here today, I would be able to be on camera today, so I flew over without saying a word. I¡¯ve been waiting here for six or seven hours, and finally it¡¯s my turn to be on the camera! It¡¯s not easy, I¡¯m telling you! It¡¯s hard work!¡± Many people behind him are busy, and Zhang Yansheng can imagine the situation there. Especially after the explosion from the previous life, the internet was full of behind-the-scenes footages. Zhang Yansheng knew the hard work involved in the shooting. It¡¯s really not easy. After condensing so much effort, it finally gained fruitful results. Zhang Yansheng rubbed her eyes: ¡°Let me emphasize to you again, don¡¯t let the director change the scene blindly! No layman is allowed to command insiders!¡± ¡°Oh, you are more chattering than my mother, I know it all!¡± Xu Lichen said, ¡°Can you turn on a light there? With your matted hair, your pale and blue face¡­ it looks a bit scary.¡± It¡¯s like a ghost film. But still a good-looking ghost! Zhang Yansheng: ¡°¡­¡± Zhang Yansheng rubbed her face: ¡°I¡¯ll ask you one more thing¡­¡± Xu Lichen: ¡°Say it!¡± ¡°You¡­¡± Zhang Yansheng¡¯s face was flushed by the light of the cellphone, ¡°Have you finished your winter vacation homework?¡± CH 97 ¡°What did you say? Hello? Hello?¡± Xu Lichen shouted, ¡°Why is your picture not moving? Is it a network issue?¡± Then he himself suddenly froze! His mouth is open, and his eyes are not blinking! After three seconds, the video screen hangs up. The people behind you are still walking around! What kind of network issue was that?! Zhang Yansheng: ¡°¡­¡± She threw the cellphone aside, pulled on the quilt and continued to sleep! After being tossed around by Xu Lichen, a psychopath, in the middle of the night, Zhang Yansheng got up late the next day. Zhang Heling also said, ¡°Sister, why do you have dark circles under your eyes?¡± D*mn it. She wanted to apply a facial mask, but remembered that she hadn¡¯t bought any. In fact, when she was 15 or 16 years old, her skin condition was so good that she didn¡¯t need a mask at all. Zhang Yansheng has never bought this item since she was reborn. She still has to prepare some, at least an eye mask, Zhang Yansheng thought. She knew that Director Xie might be busy yesterday, so she waited until the afternoon before calling him. ¡°If he makes a fuss or something, you can call me, and I will fly over and bring him back right away.¡± She said. Director Xie laughed and said, ¡°You look down on Xiao Xu too much! Needless to say, I have decided to add drama to him! I will finish filming his scenes for him before school starts!¡± Zhang Yansheng: ¡°???¡± ¡°Well, Xiao Xu, I thought he couldn¡¯t endure the hardship.¡± Director Xie said emotionally, ¡°I didn¡¯t expect a child like him to stay with us all night yesterday without shouting a word of pain. He is also helping everywhere, asking how to help or something. Today, he also paid out of his pocket to improve the food for everyone¡­¡± Is this person Xu Lichen? Why does it feel different from the Xu Lichen she knew? ¡°Also, I really didn¡¯t expect Xiao Xu to be trained in martial arts!¡± Director Xie said, ¡°There is a character whom we had to hire a martial artist, so he just saves us!¡± Zhang Yansheng: ¡°¡­¡± No, don¡¯t thank him, please don¡¯t let him mess around! The butterfly effect should not affect her investment! But Director Xie believed that Xu Lichen was fine, and Zhang Yansheng¡¯s advice could not change his mind. Zhang Yansheng had a black line, and she always felt that Xu Lichen was like a wild horse that had taken off its reins, and was running in a direction that didn¡¯t feel good. But Director Xie is a professional and he has produced works that have both great reputation and box office like¡¶Leaving the Solar System¡·, which has brought Chinese science fiction to the international level in one fell swoop. Zhang Yansheng can only choose to believe in his vision. She could only say: ¡°Please let him come back as soon as possible. School will start soon. He hasn¡¯t finished his winter vacation homework yet.¡± There was a burst of laughter on the other end of the phone. On the morning of the same day, President Yue met Yue Song, who had disappeared for a day, at the dining table. ¡°You¡¯re back?¡± President Yue asked, ¡°Did you come back last night?¡± ¡°Yes, it was a bit late, so I didn¡¯t bother you.¡± Yue Song said. President Yue asked about the situation over there, and Yue Song said, ¡°I am very optimistic. I plan to invest in them.¡± President Yue nodded: ¡°You can handle it by yourself.¡± This is not Yue Song¡¯s first investment. Since he went to university, President Yue has given him certain financial authority and left it to him to make his own arrangements. Yue Song has a lot of autonomy in the matter of investment. He nodded and there was no need to tell his grandfather more about this matter. But after Yue Song had eaten a bit of breakfast, he suddenly asked, ¡°Grandpa, do you know the old lady Song Lanying from Xingnan Group?¡± President Yue said, ¡°I have heard of her, but I have never had any dealings with her. What¡¯s the matter?¡± Yue Song smiled and said, ¡°One of the two high school students mentioned by Miss Mo is the granddaughter of this old lady. Her father¡¯s name is Zhang Huan. I heard that the old lady has two sons. I don¡¯t know if it is the eldest son or the second son.¡± ¡°Oh, it¡¯s their family.¡± President Yue said, ¡°I still think I¡¯m anxious enough, but there are other people who are more anxious than me. The child is in high school, so she was pulled out for a walk?¡± ¡®Walk¡¯¡­ Yue Song was speechless for a moment and said, ¡°Anyway, she is a very good little girl. My sister did a charity auction event before and I saw her there. She was brought out by her parents, and she seemed to take it very seriously.¡± The Yue family has been passed down for three generations. Yue Song has no first cousins. The ¡®sister¡¯ he refers to does not need to refer specifically to the cousin of his maternal uncle¡¯s family. Yue Song has been in and out of the company with President Yue since he was a child. Many people in the company know him and know his identity. At this age, he needed to be familiar with the company¡¯s grassroots business, so he went to the Xue family. No one in the company over there knows him, so it is much more convenient to do things. So, on one side, he is an ordinary-dressed intern college student, getting familiar with grassroots business in his uncle¡¯s company; on the other side, he is a well-dressed heir to the group, following President Yue to watch him make various decisions. If anyone sees how he is running on both sides, I¡¯m afraid he won¡¯t be able to tell the difference. ¡°Families that value their children are discerning families.¡± Old man Yue sighed, ¡°Like me, when I was young, I was too busy to take care of your father. I raised him like a wild crane in the clouds, who doesn¡¯t know the suffering of the world¡­ By the way, where are they now?¡± Yue Song took out his cellphone and took a look, then turned it over to old man Yue: ¡°Basking in the sun.¡± In the photo, the white clouds are lowered and the sun is shining brightly. A middle-aged couple is basking in the sun on the white and delicate beach. The two of them have their faces against each other, smiling brighter than the sun, and their flesh is numb to death. Old man Yue wanted to have a heart attack on the spot: ¡°I¡¯m still pulling the plow diligently like an old scalper, and my son is already enjoying life! What¡¯s the use for me to give birth to this kind of son!¡± ¡°It¡¯s okay, you still have a grandson.¡± Yue Song comforted him, ¡°I will work hard to get you to retire as soon as possible.¡± ¡°¡­¡± Old man Yue, ¡°Do you still want to usurp the throne? It¡¯s not your turn yet! Your grandfather can still do it for another five hundred years!¡± Yue Song: ¡°¡­¡± So, it¡¯s because you just don¡¯t want to rest at all. Mo Lin kept working. She has a company with about 200 people on her side, and she is expected to stay there for two weeks for due diligence. Suddenly she received a call from Yue Song: ¡°I decided to invest.¡± Mo Lin felt that she had been possessed by a koi carp during this period of time and asked, ¡°How much do you intend to invest?¡± ¡°I¡¯ll invest 100 million first.¡± Yue Song said. Mo Lin couldn¡¯t just leave as soon as she came. She worked overtime there for two days, coordinated the time, and flew to K City. In K City, Yue Song asked his cousin Xue Xintong, ¡°The granddaughter of Madam Song from Xingnan Group, what is her name?¡± ¡°Huh?¡± Xue Xintong joked, ¡°Didn¡¯t you say you don¡¯t want to cultivate her?¡± Yue Song was speechless and explained: ¡°I invested in a project and found that the little girl also invested in it. I¡¯m just a little curious.¡± Xue Xintong was a little surprised, asked carefully, and said, ¡°This Zhang Huan, I really can¡¯t tell.¡± Yue Song asked, ¡°So, what¡¯s her name?¡± Xue Xintong thought about it for a while, and said with uncertainty: ¡°She seems to be called Zhang¡­ Yanyan?¡± Zhang Yanyan? The name is a bit tacky. Yue Song recalled the girl¡¯s cold and bright face, and felt that the name did not match her temperament. Zhang Huan, this person is not very good at naming his children. Seeing Mo Lin again, after everything was settled, Yue Song asked, ¡°How did Miss Mo and Miss Zhang from Xingnan Group meet?¡± When Mo Lin heard this, ¡°You already know.¡± This is not the client information she leaked, nine out of ten it is probably either Director Xie or Producer Wang. Sure enough, Yue Song said, ¡°I heard it from Director Xie and the others.¡± Mo Lin said, ¡°It¡¯s fate. At the financial forum in Shui Zhen, I slipped and injured my feet, then ran into Miss Zhang¡­¡± She told Yue Song how she got acquainted with Zhang Yansheng. She concluded: ¡°Although Miss Zhang is a young girl, she is a girl with a lot of personality. She is very different from most ordinary girls.¡± Yue Song nodded, and had a preliminary visualization of ¡®Zhang Yanyan¡¯ in his heart, except for that unforgettable face. Xu Lichen rushed back before school started. He didn¡¯t want to come back. Director Xie really arranged several faceless shots for him. For a while, he was standing guard at the door, and for a while, he was patrolling the passage with a gun. Anyway, no matter what it is, just let him wear that mecha combat suit, and he will be very happy! And he¡¯s really obedient, so the director can do whatever he wants. Once he took off his costume, he would run to help the props crew. Some people didn¡¯t know him, and treated him as a handyman¡¯s assistant, who called him back and forth. Young Master Xu ran around without complaint. Director Xie once turned his head between filming and saw this gold master running around doing hard work for him. Director Xie: ¡°¡­¡± How did he know that Xu Lichen¡¯s family also has millions of yuan in various handicrafts, and the prop group is¡­ giant handicrafts for him! He enjoys it very much. Of course, Director Xie wouldn¡¯t know, so he felt touched, so touched! In another scene, the action coach went over to talk about a scene, and Xu Lichen made a few gestures. As soon as the expert takes a shot, he will know if there is one. Action director: ¡°Yo? You¡¯re trained?¡± Xu Lichen proudly said: ¡°Since I was six years old, I have been training in free combat for 10 years now.¡± When they took the shot, the frame was quite beautiful. He has a handsome face that can make his debut after packing up. Director Xie slapped his thigh, adding drama to Xu Lichen! Xu Lichen: Sure enough, hard work really pays off! The hateful thing is that Zhang Yansheng called Director Xie! Squatting together for dinner in the evening, Director Xie asked in his busy schedule, ¡°Have you finished your homework for the winter vacation?¡± All the people¡¯s eyes were shot at him. Xu Lichen scratched his neck and said: ¡°It¡¯s finished.¡± Director Xie stared at him: ¡°Really finished?¡± Xu Lichen: ¡°Almost finished!¡± Director Xie: ¡°Almost?¡± So, Xu Lichen stayed there for four days and was hurried back by Director Xie. Director Xie: ¡°How many days are left before the start of your school? Set aside time for you to catch up with homework.¡± Xu Lichen: Hateful! But Xu Lichen was beaten sarcastically by Zhang Yansheng, and he didn¡¯t want to drop out of class when school started, making Zhang Yansheng look down on him. In the last few days, he really held back at home rushing to finish his homework. When Mother Xu came back at night, she couldn¡¯t see her husband, so she went to her son¡¯s room to take a look. Her son was not playing games nor wandering outside, but was sitting on his desk instead. Mother Xu was surprised: ¡°What are you doing?¡± Xu Lichen: ¡°Hurrying to finish my homework!¡± Since he learned the truth about his parents¡¯ marriage, he had a showdown with his mother. On the contrary, this mother and son are a little closer than before. Mother Xu clearly felt the changes in her son. She had to wear armor at all times when she was outside, and she still had to wear this armor in front of her husband when she returned home. She has long been used to it, and she doesn¡¯t find it hard. But suddenly in front of her son, the armor was removed. Mother Xu¡¯s eyes suddenly became faintly red. ¡°What are you doing, I¡¯m doing my homework here, but what about you?!¡± Xu Lichen¡¯s scalp is numb. He could bear his mother scolding him, and not when his mother¡¯s eyes turned red. He quickly pulled a tissue for his mother. There was a watery light in his mother¡¯s eyes, but she smiled. Holding his son¡¯s shoulder, she pressed hard: ¡°You, you have grown up. Mother is really happy.¡± Xu Lichen: ¡°Hmm.¡± CH 98 Zhang Yansheng turned on her phone and saw the message from Xu Lichen. ¡°My winter vacation homework is all done!!!¡± Not only did he spread out all his homework on the table and took pictures, he also posted an ¡®akimbo.jpg¡¯.1²æ»á¶ùÑü.jpg ¨C https://www.dbbqb.com/search/id/50040.html Zhang Yansheng turned off the phone screen and raised her eyes. ¡°I have done all my homework for winter vacation!!!¡± Zhang Shuocheng was too proud of himself with his hands placed on his waist. School is about to start, so Zhang Yu and Zhang Huan took the children to see the old lady. The old lady asked Zhang Heling and Zhang Shuocheng if they had finished their winter vacation homework. Zhang Heling hadn¡¯t answered yet, and Zhang Shuocheng had already rushed to show off to the old lady. Everyone laughed. Zhang Heling also hurriedly said: ¡°I have finished my homework a long time ago. Shuoshuo only finished his homework yesterday.¡± Zhang Shuocheng put his hands again on his waist: ¡°Then I will finish my homework on time too!¡± ¡°Good, good, you have finished your homework.¡± The old lady said with a smile, ¡°But think about it, if you can finish it early like your sister, wouldn¡¯t you be able to have more time for fun later?¡± After asking the elementary school students, she then asked the high school students: ¡°How about Xiao Lin and Yanyan?¡± Zhang Yansheng¡¯s cousin Zhang Lin went to a private school. He said: ¡°We have very little homework during the winter vacation, but we have several practical activities.¡± When it was Zhang Yansheng¡¯s turn, she only said simply: ¡°It¡¯s all done.¡± Compared with Zhang Lin¡¯s vivid description, Zhang Yansheng can be said to be concise. Zhang Huan glanced at her from the corner of his eye, feeling that she would not please the old lady. Zhang Yansheng knew everything well and ignored him. Zhang Yansheng is studying in the city¡¯s key top preparatory class. The old lady knows how much homework there will be. What she did this winter vacation, the old lady knew even more in her heart. She also just smiled and nodded. Finally, she asked the only college student in the family who was studying. Before Zhang Qi spoke, her mother had already said with a smile: ¡°Qiqi has been busy talking about a project recently. I am a little afraid that she will delay her studies and want her to finish this matter quickly.¡± ¡°It won¡¯t.¡± Zhang Qi said, ¡°I told you that I won¡¯t delay my studies. The school curriculum is quite relaxing for me.¡± The old lady naturally wanted to ask: ¡°What project?¡± Her mother said modestly: ¡°She has a fancy for a TV series project and plans to invest money in it.¡± Hearing this, Zhang Yansheng raised her eyes to look at Zhang Huan, and Zhang Huan was also looking at her with bright eyes. The father and daughter met and looked at the old lady together. The old lady¡¯s smile remained unchanged: ¡°What TV series?¡± Zhang Yu was a little helpless, but he couldn¡¯t stop his wife and daughter. His wife was an eldest young lady who was born with a golden spoon in her mouth, and her life has always been smooth. She had the only somersault in her life after marrying him, when she was compared with her sister-in-law, which is not to the favor of the old lady. He felt that these were all trivial matters. They didn¡¯t live with the old lady and would only see each other once a month, so he didn¡¯t care. But his wife was just brooding, and she couldn¡¯t be relieved. After the death of his younger brother¡¯s wife, Zhang Yansheng, his niece, lived with her stepmother. In the past few years, she gradually became irritable and extreme. His wife finally let go of these things in the past, but her niece suddenly seemed to be awakened, and regained her childhood spirituality, who was always being compared to Qiqi in front of the old lady. The wife suddenly exploded. She scolded her daughter severely at home to the point where she couldn¡¯t lift her head and would just burst into tears. Later, he had to take his daughter to invest, so she must not be suppressed by his niece, Zhang Yansheng. No one can stop his wife from being self-willed, so Zhang Yu had no choice but to compromise and found Zhang Qi a few projects, and took her to choose and analyze. In fact, this TV series project is not his favorite, but Zhang Yansheng is casting a movie, and his daughter also wants to invest in a movie project. The project looked more secure, and Zhang Yu agreed. But Zhang Yu knew in his heart that no matter how much his wife said about Zhang Qi in front of the old lady, the old lady must also understand what was going on. In front of his younger brother and niece, he couldn¡¯t help being a little embarrassed, so he had to keep his face away. When the old lady asked, his wife smiled and looked at her daughter. Zhang Qi leaned forward and explained to the old lady in detail. ¡°The original work is very famous, and the author has millions of fans on Weibo.¡± ¡°Several leading actors all have their own website traffic.¡± The old lady only smiled and listened, and finally nodded and asked Zhang Yu, ¡°How much do you plan to invest?¡± Zhang Yu glanced at his wife, who raised her eyebrows at him forcefully. Zhang Yu couldn¡¯t help it, and said, ¡°I plan to give Qiqi 20 million yuan to let her try the water.¡± The old lady nodded: ¡°Not bad, even if you lose, it won¡¯t hurt your muscles or bones.¡± Both the mother and daughter looked at her expectantly. The old lady was as stable as a mountain, and said with a smile: ¡°Since it is Qiqi¡¯s first investment, then let¡¯s do it. Grandma will support you with another 5 million yuan.¡± Zhang Qi is still young, and her mother is a young lady with a passionate face. The smiles on the faces of these two people are not very sustainable. The old lady gave Zhang Yansheng 20 million yuan! Zhang Yu said loudly: ¡°Qiqi, you haven¡¯t thanked your grandma yet!¡± The mother and daughter woke up from a dream, and hurriedly squeezed out a smile to thank the old lady. The old lady smiled faintly. When returning home, Zhang Huan said to Liang Yingying and Zhang Yansheng who were about to get in the car: ¡°You sit behind. Yanyan sits here in the front, let¡¯s talk.¡± Liang Yingying was a little dazed. Wasn¡¯t it always the wife sitting in the front and the children squeezing in the back together? Zhang Yansheng pulled the car door directly and got on the co-pilot seat. Liang Yingying reacted slowly, and she was the last one who got in the car and angrily sat behind Zhang Yansheng. Zhang Huan was driving and was in a good mood. He said to Zhang Yansheng, ¡°Your uncle and aunt, oops, your uncle and aunt¡­¡± Zhang Yansheng rolled her eyes and said, ¡°You almost hummed a little song.¡± Zhang Huan hummed: ¡°I just hummed, what¡¯s wrong with that?¡± Zhang Yansheng said: ¡°You look like a vile character flourishing and it¡¯s ugly.¡± ¡°You know nothing!¡± Zhang Huan was unhappy, ¡°Let me tell you, you were so young back then and you don¡¯t remember it anymore. Your aunt loved to step on your mother before. Your mother is better than her everywhere, but her family conditions are not as good as your aunt. She doesn¡¯t like your mother anyway and always wants to stay away from your mother. However, she can¡¯t really get away!¡± At that time, Zhang Huan and his wife were always both at home and abroad, but their family was always in perfect harmony, a complete state of happiness in life. Since his wife became ill, he hasn¡¯t been so happy anymore. ¡°Just saying, your uncle and aunt must have known that your grandmother gave you 20 million yuan, so they are in a hurry. Haha, haha.¡± Zhang Huan laughed. Sure enough, as Zhang Yansheng described, there is a kind of villain¡¯s determined face. Liang Yingying, who was sitting in the back, shouted out: ¡°Twenty million?!¡± She shouted at Zhang Huan in a sharp and thin voice. With that fierce sound, Zhang Huan was so frightened that the steering wheel in his hand slipped. ¡°What are you shouting for!¡± Zhang Huan scolded in the rearview mirror, ¡°You scared me!¡± Liang Yingying was dumbfounded for a moment, and asked cautiously: ¡°Well, husband, what¡¯s the matter with 20 million?¡± Zhang Huan was frightened, his heart was still beating, and he said angrily: ¡°Yanyan, made an investment. I gave her 10 million yuan and my mother gave her 20 million yuan.¡± Liang Yingying felt that her heart was about to burst. There are actually more than 20 million! It¡¯s 30 million yuan! ¡°Yanyan, Yanyan is still a child and to give her so much money¡­¡± Liang Yingying used her life¡¯s strength to control her expression and tone of voice, ¡°Is it appropriate?¡± Zhang Huan only gave her one sentence: ¡°It¡¯s none of your business.¡± Then, he just ignored her. Liang Yingying only felt that her temples were beating suddenly, and her blood vessels were about to burst. Her monthly consumption limit is 200,000 yuan. This is the treatment after her status change. Before the change, when she was just a mistress who was hidden by Zhang Huan, he only gave her an amount of 50,000 yuan a month. After entering Zhang¡¯s house, the limit was doubled four times. With a dignified identity, living in a large mansion, and having luxury cars with drivers in and out, Liang Yingying really felt that she had ascended to the sky in one step. Except for the annoying excess baggage left by Zhang Huan¡¯s first wife, she really has nothing to be dissatisfied with. At the old lady¡¯s place, just now, she heard Zhang Yu and his wife say that they would invest 20 million yuan in Zhang Qi. In her heart, it was just the couple who made a show for the old lady. Zhang Qi was still a student. What kind of project did they invest in? To put it bluntly, Zhang Yu was directing behind the scenes. When the old lady said that she would support her with another 5 million yuan, Liang Yingying laughed even more in her heart. Well, now she understood, the couple just wanted to get money from the old lady. She didn¡¯t take this matter seriously, thinking that they really didn¡¯t invest in anything. But now, Zhang Huan told her that they had invested 30 million yuan in Zhang Yansheng? Thirty million, it has to be her expense limit as Mrs. Zhang for more than ten years! And he actually just gave it to this child, Zhang Yansheng, casually? Zhang Qi is at least a college student! At least she¡¯s the eldest granddaughter! What is Zhang Yansheng? She¡¯s just a useless child! Liang Yingying felt her head booming, and wanted to pinch Zhang Huan¡¯s neck and yell at him: All that money belongs to Zhang Shuocheng! How can you give it to Zhang Yansheng?! But rationality told her that she couldn¡¯t do that! As a result, feelings and rationality clash in her mind, and her chest seems to be pressed by a big stone and she can¡¯t breathe. Looking at Zhang Huan in front of her, there was a double image of him. Zhang Yansheng¡¯s voice was heard in her ears and asked mistily: ¡°How about you¡­ invest¡­ drama, invest¡­ report¡­?¡± Zhang Yansheng ignored Liang Yingying and asked Zhang Huan, ¡°How was the return on investment of the TV series you used to invest in?¡± Zhang Huan stubbornly said: ¡°Just like that. I didn¡¯t make a lot of money and lost. It¡¯s not very interesting.¡± ¡°Big Sister Mo told me that Director Xie directed this movie, because it belongs to a blank area in the domestic film and television field, so everyone didn¡¯t dare to invest, so they financed it externally.¡± Zhang Yansheng said, ¡°She also said that normal films and television dramas that make a steady profit at first glance will be digested in the industry, and there will be no shortage of funds. Therefore, those who can release financing generally have such problems.¡± ¡°She was right and I only learned about it later.¡± Zhang Huan said, ¡°Cross-industry investment has this kind of risk. It¡¯s not an area you understand, so if you don¡¯t understand, it¡¯s easy to be fooled. Your Uncle Liu was fooled by 80 million yuan before, and all of them were wasted.¡± Zhang Yansheng asked, ¡°Then do you think Sister Qiqi can make money on this project?¡± Zhang Huan said, ¡°How do I know? I haven¡¯t researched it yet. What conclusion can I draw based on her empty mouth and white teeth?¡± Zhang Yansheng knew about the few fresh meats that Zhang Qi mentioned, and even the name of the drama show, Zhang Yansheng had a faint impression. But Zhang Yansheng couldn¡¯t remember what the show was like. She hadn¡¯t watched this drama before, because she was not interested in the subject matter. ¡°Let me ask Big Sister Mo.¡± She suddenly remembered. She immediately called Mo Lin: ¡°Big Sister Mo, do you know about this project?¡± What a coincidence, Mo Lin really knows. ¡°I¡¯m not particularly optimistic about this drama.¡± Mo Lin said, ¡°If you have other options, I don¡¯t recommend you invest in this project.¡± CH 99 ¡°First thing is the script.¡± Mo Lin said, ¡°In the past few years, the dramas that made money were all serious dramas. In the past two years, the dramas that have become popular are all adaptations of female novels, so now, some people are looking at male novels. Several projects established this year have been adapted from male audio essays. When I was doing industry research, I happened to study this project.¡± ¡°The original author of this novel is indeed a great god, but this is his early work, which belongs to the ancient cool novel genre. It does not have the tortuous emotional development of female frequent novels, and it is more of an old-fashioned slap on the face. But this kind of low-level coolness is okay to write in novels, and it can be expressed in film and television¡­ To be honest, I feel very embarrassed, as the coolness of the story is greatly reduced.¡± ¡°A few pieces of fresh meat are obviously used for capital preservation. According to their website traffic data, in theory, even if the film is bad, it can still save money.¡± Mo Lin said, ¡°But this is under the premise that the data must be true. But in fact, I think the flow data of these small fresh meats is very watery.¡± ¡°So, whether they can protect their capital or not depends entirely on the conscience of several brokerage companies. The larger the data size, the higher the probability of losing money. This is not something I can say accurately, because after all, I can¡¯t get the real data.¡± ¡°I got it, Big Sister Mo. Thank you.¡± Zhang Yan said. Mo Lin asked: ¡°Are you going to invest in it?¡± ¡°It¡¯s not me. I just invested in Director Xie¡¯s movie and I have no plans to continue investing for now. I still have to go to school, but I only invested in it when I ran into you.¡± Zhang Yansheng said, ¡°I heard that someone invested in this drama, so I just asked.¡± After hanging up the phone, Zhang Yansheng told Zhang Huan what Mo Lin said. Zhang Huan nodded: ¡°Almost, almost the same. If you don¡¯t lose money, you just keep your capital, and there is no profit. It doesn¡¯t mean much, so it¡¯s better to do something else.¡± Zhang Yansheng said, ¡°I still hope that Sister Qiqi¡¯s project can make money.¡± Zhang Huan let out an ¡°Oh¡± and said, ¡°It just sounds like you already make a steady profit! You worry about yourself first, what if you lose it?¡± Zhang Yansheng: ¡°Are you expecting me to lose?¡± ¡°¡­¡° Zhang Huan didn¡¯t admit, ¡°How could I be expecting you to lose! Isn¡¯t that my money?¡± Zhang Yansheng was quite certain: ¡°You are just looking forward to my loss.¡± Zhang Huan quickly responded: ¡°Nonsense!¡± In the other direction, in another car, Zhang Yu¡¯s wife, who is also Zhang Yansheng¡¯s aunt, her surname is Zhao and her full name is Zhao Lanfen. Zhao Lanfen was furious all the way: ¡°This eccentricity is too much! If Yanyan invests, she will give 20 million yuan. But when it comes to Qiqi, she will only give 5 million yuan?¡± Zhang Yu hummed twice. Zhao Lanfen became more and more angry and she said: ¡°Qiqi is the eldest granddaughter anyway. She is a college student. It¡¯s time for her to learn how to do business! What is Yanyan? Just a freshman in high school! The old lady¡¯s heart turned to the Atlantic Ocean!¡± Zhang Yu hummed twice again. Zhao Lanfen couldn¡¯t get a response, so she became angry and gave him a moment: ¡°Can you at least say something!¡± Zhang Yu: ¡°I¡¯m driving!¡± ¡°Do you drive with your mouth?¡± Zhao Lanfen said angrily, ¡°If you also think that it¡¯s not fair, let¡¯s turn around and go back! Let¡¯s talk to the old lady!¡± Zhang Yu has a headache. Although he knew that Zhao Lanfen didn¡¯t have the guts to talk to the old lady, he still had a headache. He had no choice but to say, ¡°That is the old lady¡¯s money, so she can give as much as she likes. No one can control her. Besides, if she gives it for nothing, how can there be too few, there is no such reason.¡± Zhao Lanfen became angry with embarrassment: ¡°Am I angry because I have more money and less money? That I am short of that 10 or 20 million? I am angry that the old lady is eccentric!¡± Zhang Yu said, ¡°That¡¯s absolutely nothing! They are all her grandchildren, and the old lady is not eccentric to anyone.¡± Zhao Lanfen¡¯s voice sharpened: ¡°She¡¯s not? Then tell me, what is the difference between these 5 million and 20 million, it¡¯s 15 million, right? So, is it just an air?¡± ¡°That¡¯s different.¡± Zhang Yu explained, ¡°Yanyan just ran into that think, otherwise she would not know anything as a child. The old lady just teased her and told her that if Zhang Huan agreed to invest, she would double her investment. Who knew that Yanyan was lucky, so she ran into a fairly reliable person and found a fairly reliable project? Zhang Huan saw that it was okay, so he invested 10 million yuan ¡ª look, he is stingier than us, we invested 20 million yuan for Qiqi, and he only invested 10 million yuan. When the old lady saw it, what she said before had to be counted, so she gave 20 million yuan.¡± ¡°The old lady said that and she can¡¯t change it.¡± Zhang Yu said, ¡°When it comes to Qiqi, we can¡¯t force the old lady to give her 20 million yuan. It¡¯s already nice for the old lady to give 5 million yuan to join in the excitement and give a show.¡± Zhao Lanfen still wanted to talk, but Zhang Yu said, ¡°If you think it¡¯s still not okay, then I¡¯ll listen to you, let¡¯s turn around and go back. Let¡¯s talk to the old lady again, and I¡¯ll just say Mom, Qiqi¡¯s mother is not satisfied with you¡­¡± ¡°Don¡¯t talk nonsense!¡± Zhao Lanfen said angrily, ¡°Who is dissatisfied?! Who said I was dissatisfied?! Don¡¯t buckle this hat on my head! Let¡¯s go home!¡± Zhang Yu chuckled. Zhao Lanfen couldn¡¯t sprinkle her anger on her mother-in-law, and couldn¡¯t talk about her husband, so she had to turn around and scold Zhang Qi who was sitting behind her. ¡°You are the only one who is dumb!¡± She said angrily, ¡°You also went out with your grandma. Yanyan knows how to get in touch with people and find projects to invest in! What about you, foolishly behave as a maidservant for the old lady! What¡¯s the use of it! Do you think your grandma sees you in her eyes!¡± Zhang Qi lowered her head and bit her lips, without saying a word. Zhang Lin knew from the moment he got in the car that his mother would definitely complain all the way, so he put on his headphones and listened to the jingling electronic music, his head still fluttering with the rhythm of the music. In this loud music, he saw his mother¡¯s mouth open and close, one by one, and the rhythm was quite accurate. The children and grandchildren have gone back, and the old lady has regained her tranquility. An old aunt brought her health tea and asked gently: ¡°What¡¯s wrong with you?¡± The old aunt has been with the old lady for many years, and it is easy for her to know the old lady¡¯s emotions. The old lady sighed and gently blew the floating tea leaves: ¡°I¡¯m worried.¡± The old aunt smiled and ridiculed her: ¡°Look at what you¡¯re saying, you have a full house of grandchildren here, and your family is rich and wealthy. What are you worried about?¡± ¡°I¡¯m worried about my two sons.¡± The old lady sighed softly, ¡°One of them has a good mind and can manage business, but his wife is not so agreeable to me, and he is also susceptible to his wife¡¯s influence. The other one hasn¡¯t grown up very much, like a child, he was lucky enough to marry a clear-headed wife, but she fell ill early and he got someone into the house that he didn¡¯t know what to do. He was purely a troublemaker.¡± The old aunt covered her mouth and smiled: ¡°I think the person stirring their family spirit is very afraid of Miss Yanyan now.¡± ¡°It was Yanyan who stood up by herself.¡± The old lady smiled, ¡°People, no one can help them if they don¡¯t stand up by themselves. Fortunately, Yanyan did not disappoint.¡± The old aunt said, ¡°I heard that you scattered your wealth again today?¡± The old lady said, ¡°What can I do? When I get old, I will be like a boy who scatters his wealth. However, scattering my wealth is not necessarily pleasing to other people.¡± The old aunt curled her lips: ¡°Your heart is too big.¡± ¡°She¡¯s idle. She is just too idle.¡± The old lady said, ¡°She hasn¡¯t gone out to do anything serious for a day. She at least reads a book before she gets married. After she gets married, she doesn¡¯t do anything. Can she spare time for problems? This person, she really can¡¯t be too idle, as it¡¯s easy for her to have brain problems.¡± ¡°That¡¯s right. Those who come out to work like us, how can they have time to relax?¡± The old aunt agreed, ¡°My sister-in-law is angry with my mother-in-law, who is on the top, and her daughter-in-law is at the bottom. My mother-in-law is 90 years old and she still has to fight with her, and her little grandson is watching the fun.¡± Rural women and wealthy ladies seem to be far apart, but they are essentially the same. The old lady shook her head. ¡°Actually, I didn¡¯t even think about letting the children practice their hands so early. Why hurry, my sons are both in their mature years, and the following five grandchildren are thriving. Why am I worried?¡± ¡°At first, I thought that Qiqi went to college already, so I took her out for a walk. All the things she learned in school are dead. So, I want her to listen to what real people say and think, and broaden her mind. Oh, who would think that Xiao Huan would be like a kid grabbing candy when he is so old and he had to push Yanyan out.¡± ¡°How old is Yanyan, I wondered what she would understand. So, I just took her to join in the fun. Who knows that Yanyan, this child, will have that spirit and was able to meet new friends and find herself a decent investment project? The children have done their parts, and they have worked so hard, and I have given my words, so of course I have to do it.¡± ¡°For such a trivial matter, some people felt uncomfortable and wanted to find peace. What are they looking for, does she have the final say on my own money? Pulling seedlings to help them grow seems to be a foolish move. If you want to find peace, I will let her see and let her understand that there has never been 100% peace in this world.¡± The old aunt covered her mouth and smiled: ¡°You, oh you, your heart is really so big. Why are you getting angry with the young people?¡± When the old lady heard this, she felt much more comfortable, and smiled at herself: ¡°I might be idle too¡­¡± ¡­¡­ The school started as scheduled and the sacred beasts were all caged. You won¡¯t know how many parents across the country celebrated with their foreheads. Yi High School checked the homework during the holidays quite strictly, unlike many schools where the teachers didn¡¯t even look at it. The teacher scrambled the homework and distributed it randomly so that the students could check the homework anonymously. The missing parts must not only be filled, but also a punishment mechanism. The classmates all tilted their mouths and smiled. They checked very carefully, and they covered their mouths to prevent others from seeing whose homework they were checking. The air was full of suspicion. Whoever looked up at him suspected that the other party was checking his homework, and he was very hesitant to make mistakes for himself. Xu Lichen had a black line on his head, and he was fortunate that he was stimulated by Zhang Yansheng and finished all his homework seriously. Otherwise, it will be embarrassing as soon as school starts. At that time, Zhang Yansheng would laugh at him again. Fortunately, fortunately! However, Zhang Yansheng did not become impetuous because of this speculative investment made during the holidays. In fact, her grandmother and her father taught her a good lesson. When school started, her heart calmed down completely. ¡¶Leaving the Solar System¡·was first scheduled to be released for this year¡¯s summer vacation, and it is definitely going to bounce back. When they saw Director Xie and Producer Wang, they promised that it would be released during next Chinese New Year! Zhang Yansheng believes that it¡¯s not going to happen. In her previous life, the film was finally released during the Chinese New Year in the next, next year. So, when you compute it, it will have to be next year. It will be the time for her to be a senior in high school. So, if you invest money in it, you don¡¯t have to worry about it for the next two years, just do what you should do. But Zhang Yansheng didn¡¯t expect that it had only been a few days since school started. After returning home that day, Zhang Huan suddenly stopped her in the evening and hesitated to say something important to her. Maybe it was her sixth sense. At that time, Zhang Yansheng had a bad premonition in his heart. Sure enough, Zhang Huan said embarrassedly: ¡°Aunt Luo talked to me today and she wants to resign.¡± CH 100 Zhang Yansheng was taken aback and asked: ¡°Why?¡± ¡°There¡¯s no other reason, she is just getting older and wants to go home.¡± Zhang Huan said. Looking at Zhang Yansheng¡¯s expression, he knew that Zhang Yansheng and Aunt Luo had a deep relationship, and hurriedly said, ¡°There really is no other reason.¡± He said this with a premise. Because Liang Yingying used to prick Aunt Luo in secret. He had warned Liang Yingying a long time ago that Aunt Luo was the one hired by Yanyan¡¯s mother. If there was nothing wrong, he would definitely not fire Aunt Luo. But Liang Yingying couldn¡¯t help being angry with Aunt Luo on all kinds of trivial matters. Those little things are so small that they can¡¯t be picked up and said alone. Fortunately, Aunt Luo also had affection for Yanyan, so she stayed quietly. Zhang Yansheng stared at Zhang Huan for a moment, then she suddenly turned around. Zhang Huan shouted from behind: ¡°There is really no other reason, it¡¯s true!¡± Zhang Yansheng had already stridden away. She went straight to Aunt Luo, who was already tidying up her things ¡ª she had lived in this house for more than 10 years, and she only returned to her home during the New Year holidays. She almost regarded this place as her real home, and there are so many pieces of things. There are so many pieces. When she saw Zhang Yansheng¡¯s expression, she understood that she already knew. ¡°I¡¯m getting older and can¡¯t do my job well. I actually burned your clothes worth thousands of yuan last week.¡± Aunt Luo said, ¡°Master had thought that when his wife leaves, he¡¯ll let me take good care of you, and he will raise my salary every year. I do the least work here, but my salary is the highest, and none of them are happy about it.¡± ¡°Actually, my son and daughter-in-law called me home a few years ago. They opened a small noodle shop in the town, and the business is not bad. They want me to go back and take care of my grandson.¡± She said, ¡°But I promised your mother to take care of you until you grow up. However, your father brought that person in and you became a little kid again, so I didn¡¯t feel relieved to go. I have been holding such a high salary and staying here cheekily to accompany you.¡± ¡°But it¡¯s different now.¡± Aunt Luo looked lovingly at this child who had grown up in her arms since birth, ¡°You have grown up. I can see that no one can bully you anymore. Madam in heaven should be relieved too. It¡¯s time for me to retire and take care of my grandson at home.¡± She no longer needs to be pitied, worried, or protected. She can already take care of herself, protect herself, and fight back against all malice by herself. Zhang Yansheng felt as if a cocoon on her body had been broken. Her growth seemed to be seen by her mother in the Kingdom of Heaven through the nanny who took care of her. Through Aunt Luo¡¯s gratified gaze, she seemed to see her mother smiling and nodding at her. She was silent for a long time, and finally, she held Aunt Luo¡¯s hand and said softly, ¡°Okay.¡± A few days later, Zhang Huan and Zhang Yansheng wrapped red envelopes thick with bricks for Aunt Luo. One of her nephews who works in K City drove a van to pick her up and take her back to her hometown. When the van drove out of the courtyard, Zhang Yansheng was still standing on the porch staring. Zhang Huan waited for a while, and when he saw that she didn¡¯t mean to move, he patted her on the shoulder. Zhang Yansheng suddenly turned to look at him. Those eyes were dark and faint. Zhang Huan was taken aback. Zhang Yansheng turned around and entered the house first, and Zhang Huan murmured while standing under the porch. ¡°Seriously, you¡¯re getting more and more like your mother¡­¡± ¡­¡­ Life at school hasn¡¯t changed much, as usual. Zhang Yansheng would also meet Zhang Zhiyuan in the corridor, smile at each other and nodded, brushing shoulders. She will also see Xu Lichen, this guy seems to have quickly integrated into the new class group, and got along with the boys. Zhang Yansheng used to worry about whether he could fit in. After all, they had some prejudice against the ¡®good kids¡¯ in the previous life, so they drew a line and divided themselves and the ¡®good kids¡¯ into two different worlds. But now it is obvious that this worry is superfluous. Zhang Yansheng walked through the corridor and heard Xu Lichen bragging about his movie making. He talked about how cool and handsome the mech combat suit is, and how cool the tank is. The boys were coaxed into a group and said that they didn¡¯t believe it and wanted to see the photos. Xu Lichen stretched his neck and said, ¡°The director does not allow any news to be leaked for now!¡± The boys booed and laughed. Xu Lichen hummed bitterly, but his eyes chased Zhang Yansheng who had just walked by. What are you pretending to be so cold! You think I didn¡¯t see the sneer in your mouth. The weather warmed up in a blink of an eye, the heavy winter clothes were taken off, and the light spring clothes were put on. Zhang Heling, this young child, was distressed this spring. She went to her dad first: ¡°Dad, is my sister celebrating her birthday this year?¡± Zhang Huan let out an ¡°Oh!¡± and said: ¡°Yes, your sister will have her birthday next month! Oh, this¡­¡± Zhang Huan was also stumped. Because on Zhang Yansheng¡¯s birthday the year before last, he didn¡¯t know what Liang Yingying said to provoke her. Zhang Yansheng threw the cake to the ground and threatened that she would not need to celebrate her birthday in the future. It ended badly at that time. Last year, Zhang Huan asked Zhang Yansheng in advance. Zhang Yansheng was about to pull his face to the ground at the time, and she only said ¡°I¡¯m not!¡±, then she quickly turned around and left. Looking back at that time, Zhang Yansheng was simply unable to communicate at all, just like a firecracker, ready to explode at any time. While thinking about that, Zhang Huan sighed with sorrow, then said, ¡°Celebrate!¡± ¡°Your sister is different now! She must be willing to celebrate it this time!¡± Zhang Huan said with certainty. From last summer vacation to now, Zhang Yansheng has matured and grown up quickly, which is completely different. She¡¯s no longer the girl who twists around and stubbornly throws cakes to the ground when she gets angry. She must be willing to celebrate her birthday! Zhang Huan rolled his eyes, hooked his fingers, and asked Zhang Heling to approach him: ¡°We should give your sister a surprise, let¡¯s prepare for her birthday, so can we not tell her?¡± Of course, Zhang Heling agreed. Then she asked her distressed question: ¡°Dad, what birthday gift should I give to my sister?¡± When she was in the first grade, she made a paper greeting card and stuffed it quietly into her sister¡¯s door, but her sister didn¡¯t seem to see it at all. The next day, it was cleaned up as waste paper by the cleaning aunt. Her elder sister was still ignoring her at that time. Seeing her in the hallway, she only regarded her as air, and walked over without even looking at her. When she was in the second grade, she felt that her craftsmanship had improved a lot than before, and made a better greeting card for her sister. As a result, her sister threw the cake that day and yelled to her dad that she would not celebrate her birthday in the future. She saw the corners of her mother¡¯s mouth curled up quietly. She did not dare to send out that greeting card. When she was in the third grade, she quietly waited and watched, and her father asked her sister if she¡¯d like to celebrate her birthday, and her sister yelled ¡°I¡¯m not!¡±. Her father really did not do it for her sister. But she lived next door to her sister and heard a loud bang in her sister¡¯s room. She approached the door and wanted to listen carefully, but suddenly something seemed to hit the door and made a ¡°bang¡±! She turned her head in fright and ran back to her room. But she always felt that her sister still wanted to celebrate her birthday. Then in the summer vacation, just a few months later after that, suddenly and wonderfully, her sister became different. She didn¡¯t shout or scream, she became very quiet, but very powerful. Everyone in the family is afraid of her, her younger brother is afraid of her, her mother is afraid of her, and even her father is afraid of her. It was only her who doesn¡¯t think that her sister is terrible, she thinks her sister is awesome. This family has also become different. Her younger brother is not so annoying anymore. Her mother doesn¡¯t dare to beat her and pinch her casually. Her father often cares about her and even spent her birthday alone with her. That was really the best birthday she had ever remembered! And she knew that it was all because of her sister! Her sister¡¯s birthday is coming soon. Now that she has her own pocket money, she is very distressed about what birthday gift she should give her sister. She couldn¡¯t think of it herself, so she came to ask her father specifically. Zhang Huan rubbed her head: ¡°You can give her anything you want.¡± This is equivalent to no answer. Zhang Heling couldn¡¯t find the answer from her father, so she went to her mother and asked the same question. Liang Yingying said angrily: ¡°What are you giving her, what gift should a kid give her? Other people just take tens of millions and spend them casually. Do you have that amount of money? Do you have to burn too much money? By the way, you don¡¯t usually spend much money. Have you saved all your pocket money? How much money do you have in your hand? It¡¯s useless for you to take so much money. Why don¡¯t you give it to me and I¡¯ll save it for you¡­ Hey, what are you running for? You come back! You white-eyed wolf! I gave birth to you for nothing¡­¡± Because she was running faster, she couldn¡¯t hear the scolding from behind. After thinking about it, Zhang Shuocheng is too young to be worthy of consulting. Zhang Heling ran downstairs again and asked the aunts. The aunts were sitting around the small dining table in the kitchen and chatting. After hearing her question, they all said, ¡°Oh, you¡¯re still a child, so you don¡¯t need to give her anything. Your sister will not care about it.¡± Zhang Heling went to the courtyard and found the driver, Xiao Zhou, who was washing the car with a high-pressure water spray gun. ¡°Oh, I can¡¯t give you advice about this.¡± Xiao Zhou said, ¡°I¡¯m a person with a salary of only several thousand yuan a month, how would I know what Miss Yanyan likes to use?¡± He said, ¡°You have to ask someone with a high income.¡± Zhang Heling couldn¡¯t find a good answer and went back to her room. The elementary school tyrant thought about this matter seriously with her brain. Look for someone with a high income, right? First of fall, to have an income, you have to be an adult. She had already asked most of the adults she knew, and then there were still teachers at the school. But it seems that the teachers¡¯ income is not too high, right? So, what should she do? Where can she find an adult? Yue Song usually does not live at school on weekends, but at home. He played golf with Grandpa Yue and a few grandpas that morning and just returned home. He had an appointment for lunch with his uncle. He looked at his watch and found that it was not time to go out yet. He turned on the computer and planned to play games to relax. When he went online, his roommates were already playing in an instance.1¸±±¾ ¨C Instance ¨C In massively multiplayer online games, an instance is a special area, typically a dungeon, that generates a new copy of the location for each group, or for a certain number of players, that enters the area. He can only find a wild team, and then wait for other players to join in. After waiting for a while, they didn¡¯t get the minimum number of entry points. He glanced at his friend list in the game, and he found that PurpleEyes?ColdStare?BlackHairTurnedIntoWhite is online. Yue Song: ¡°¡­¡± Forget it, just make up for the number of players. He pulled her into the team. They are still short of two players, so everyone continues to chat while waiting. Yue Song flipped through the information on his cellphone to see what was going on in the student union group chat of the school. He is different from his classmates. The classmates were all paralyzed at home during the holiday, and he ran between the Xue family and the Yue family during his vacation. As soon as school started, the classmates screamed for days and began to study busily, but this rhythm was more like a holiday for him, and it was much easier. He was scrolling through the chat group, suddenly he heard a tender and nice lolita voice in the earphones, and asked in the channel: ¡°Excuse me, is there anyone here with a higher income?¡± Yue Song: ¡°¡­¡± After glancing at it, sure enough, it was the PurpleEyes?ColdStare?BlackHairTurnedIntoWhite he pulled into the team who was talking ¡ª this name is just too much and kind of stupid, so he still has some impressions and remembered that it belongs to an elementary school student? As soon as the lolita¡¯s voice came out, the channel suddenly became quiet for a moment. Immediately, it exploded, everyone was rushing to talk to the girl. ¡°What? Sister? What do you mean?¡± ¡°That¡¯s a bit too much, right?¡± ¡°All of you shut up! Let the girl talk!¡± ¡°Sister, sister, tell me, what do you want to do with someone with a high income?¡± Yue Song began to regret pulling the elementary school student into this wild team, because he was not the captain, and he didn¡¯t know these people, so he couldn¡¯t control them. He heard the gentle voice of that little lolita saying: ¡°I want to find an adult with a higher income.¡± Teammates: ¡°???¡± ¡°What? Adult?¡± CH 101 ¡°So, you are in the fourth-grade student and want to buy a birthday present for your sister, but you don¡¯t know what to buy, so you want someone to give you suggestions?¡± ¡°Yes, that¡¯s right.¡± Little lolita said hurriedly. ¡°If you want some suggestions, then we¡¯ll just give you suggestions. Why are you looking for someone with a high income?¡± PurpleEyes?ColdStare?BlackHairTurnedIntoWhite said: ¡°Our driver suggested that I go to a high-income person to ask.¡± ¡°Wow, you have a driver?¡± ¡°So, you are a little princess, hahahaha!¡± Upon hearing these weird laughter, little lolita hesitated and asked: ¡°Why are you laughing?¡± The voice was really soft and nice, with a naive childish tone in it. The laughter gradually fell, and some people couldn¡¯t help asking, ¡°Does your family really have a driver?¡± Little lolita asked rhetorically: ¡°Uncle, don¡¯t you have any at home?¡± ¡°Call me brother!¡± ¡°Who is uncle?¡± ¡°Okay, kid. How much do you plan to spend to buy a birthday gift for your sister? Let¡¯s refer to it for you. I just bought a birthday gift for my girlfriend last week.¡± ¡°Thank you, Big Brother!¡± Little lolita was super polite, and finally found someone willing to help her, so she said happily, ¡°I have a total of 83,972 yuan. Shouldn¡¯t it be enough to buy a birthday gift?¡± There was another moment of silence in the channel. ¡°How much?¡± The interrogator¡¯s voice was out of tune. Little lolita repeated: ¡°I have 83,972 yuan.¡± Someone¡¯s soul asked, ¡°No way, how can you have so much money as a child?¡± Little lolita answered calmly, ¡°It¡¯s my pocket money, I spent very little money, just spent some money on shopping, and all the other money was saved. There was still New Year¡¯s Eve money, but the red envelopes were taken away by my mother.¡± ¡°I also bought birthday gifts for my classmates, but my sister is different from them. My sister is an adult. I really don¡¯t know what to buy for my sister. My sister treats me very well and I hope to buy something that she would like.¡± Little lolita¡¯s words revealed her intimacy and dependence on her sister. But few people care about this. Everyone¡¯s concern focuses on the two words ¡®pocket money¡¯, and they ask one after another: ¡°How much pocket money do you have a month?¡± Little lolita replied: ¡°Not too much since I am still an elementary school student, I only have 10,000 yuan of pocket money a month.¡± After a few seconds of silence in the channel, everyone finally understood that they had really met a girl who is fair-skinned, rich, and beautiful; but such a pity¡­ it was a small one. Someone scolded: ¡°F*ck!¡± This is a real sigh. Someone asked, ¡°Just asking, are you still missing a brother-in-law?¡± This is a harmless joke. Then finally, someone said: ¡°I can help and refer something to you, add me as your friend¡­¡± There was coaxing and temptation in his tone. At this point, Yue Song, who had been just listening, couldn¡¯t help but speak. After all, he pulled the little girl into this team. While Zhang Heling was hesitating, he heard a clear and pleasant voice: ¡°Well, ¡­Little Purple.¡± PurpleEyes?ColdStare?BlackHairTurnedIntoWhite, such a name is too shameful and normal humans can¡¯t say it with their mouths. Yue Song said: ¡°I am ListeningToPineByTheCreek, do you still remember me?¡± ¡°I remember, you are that big brother!¡± Zhang Heling said cheerfully. Zhang Heling actually didn¡¯t add any people he didn¡¯t know in the game, most of them were classmates in the class. She was very impressed by this ListeningToPineByTheCreek. Although they hadn¡¯t spoken since they became friends in the game, and hadn¡¯t continued to play together, this brother was not only willing to look after her as an elementary school student, but also kicked the person who sounded like a bad person out of the team and killed him back to the city in the game. And today, he pulled her into this team. When she received the invitation, she remembered who he was. ¡°Don¡¯t add anyone, leave the team now, I will chat with you privately.¡± Yue Song emphasized, ¡°Don¡¯t add anyone, just leave now!¡± The man said, ¡°F*ck, don¡¯t you dare eat alone¡­¡± Before the words were finished, the rich and soft lolita had withdrawn from the team very obediently, and after that, the annoying ¡®ListeningToPineByTheCreek¡¯ also left. The man cursed and swore. He went to send a friend request to the little lolita, but he was rejected by her. It¡¯s all because of that troublesome ListeningToPineByTheCreek! Yue Song and Zhang Heling opened a private chat channel. ¡°So how much do you want to spend on a gift for your sister?¡± he asked. Zhang Heling said happily: ¡°It¡¯s okay to spend all my money!¡± The elementary school students have a simple and pure mind, which makes people very relaxed when they listen to it. Yue Song smiled and said, ¡°When my classmates buy gifts for their girlfriends, they usually give lipstick and perfume, but I don¡¯t think it might be suitable for your sister?¡± ¡°Yes, my sister has a full-color lipstick set, she doesn¡¯t lack this kind of thing.¡± Zhang Heling said, ¡°Giving gifts should give things that the other party doesn¡¯t have, right?¡± Sure enough. Yue Song asked: ¡°How old is your sister?¡± Zhang Heling said: ¡°She is 16 and a freshman in high school.¡± Girls in their first year of high school have full-color lipsticks. Do girls start to put on makeup at such a young age? A beautiful face suddenly appeared in Yue Song¡¯s mind. There was youth hidden under that gorgeous lipstick. The cold sensation between his eyebrows made his fingertips seem to touch an electric current, and his hormones throbbed strangely. Yue Song tapped the mouse with his finger, glanced at the ring on the index finger of his left hand, and said, ¡°I know a relatively niche designer, and the jewelry he designed is quite personalized. The price is in the range of 20,000 to 100,000. I think it should be an acceptable price for you. You might as well take a look.¡± He gave Zhang Heling the brand name and website, and told her: ¡°He has no agent in China, so you can only purchase directly through this website. You go in and take a look at the upper right corner. There is a language option and you can choose ¡®Simplified Chinese¡¯. He has a Chinese version and the other is a direct purchase. What he quoted there is the bare price, excluding customs fees, you have to¡­¡± He told the elementary school student what she should pay attention to. ¡°I saw it! Wow, the items really look good!¡± The elementary school student on the opposite side said happily, ¡°Thank you Big Brother! I got it from here!¡± Yue Song added, ¡°But mail orders from overseas have to take time into consideration. I wonder if it will be too late?¡± ¡°My sister¡¯s birthday is in April, is it too late?¡± The elementary school student asked. Yue Song: ¡°¡­Isn¡¯t that only coming next month? Are you so anxious to buy gifts for your sister?¡± Zhang Heling said, ¡°I want to prepare well! I want to celebrate my sister¡¯s birthday!¡± Yue Song smiled: ¡°Do you have a good relationship with your sister?¡± ¡°Because my sister treats me very well!¡± Zhang Heling said naturally. Yue Song didn¡¯t play the game, but he was happy to help others. Before he went offline, he once again told Zhang Heling not to add friends in the game. The red scarf1ºìÁì½í ¨C In countries such as China and other Communist Party governments, elementary school students wear a cloth like a red scarf around their necks. It means that we can live a happy life now because there were seniors who shed blood in the war, and that we should not forget the blood that they shed. on her neck feels more vivid. Zhang Heling found that the uncle named ListeningToPineByTheCreek¡­ No, big brother, the designer he recommended is really special. She browsed on the website for a while and saw a series called ¡®Power¡¯. She clicked on it and suddenly held her breath. ¡°This is it!¡± There was a big smile on her face, ¡°My sister will love this!¡± During the Qingming Festival, Zhang Yansheng and Zhang Huan went to the cemetery to sweep Zhang Yansheng¡¯s mother¡¯s grave. Zhang Huan shed a few tears routinely. Zhang Yansheng was very calm. She swept and cleaned the tomb, arranged new decorations, put on new flowers, and said afterwards: ¡°Let¡¯s go back.¡± Zhang Huan wiped away tears, then turned around, and left with Zhang Yansheng. After another week, Zhang Yansheng came home from school, only to see Zhang Heling looking around on the porch. ¡°What are you doing? Why don¡¯t you do your homework?¡± Zhang Yansheng got out of the car and walked over and asked. Zhang Heling hugged her hand: ¡°Sister! Come with me!¡± Zhang Yan said: ¡°?¡± She was dragged into the house inexplicably: ¡°What are you doing?¡± Zhang Heling used all of her strength! In fact, if Zhang Yansheng hadn¡¯t resisted, she wouldn¡¯t be able to drag her sister. In short, Zhang Heling dragged Zhang Yansheng into the dark dining hall. Zhang Yansheng was even more baffled: ¡°What the hell is this? Why are the curtains drawn in broad daylight?¡± Before her voice fell, she suddenly heard Zhang Shuocheng howling! ¡°Happy birthday to you~¡± Zhang Shuocheng also tried his best, tearing open his throat and howling desperately, ¡°Happy birthday to you~¡± There are not many people who can sing birthday songs out of tune and Zhang Shuocheng is one of them. Zhang Yansheng: ¡°¡­¡± She has to say that although it is out of tune, it is very imposing! Following Zhang Shuocheng¡¯s howling, no, singing, an aunt slowly pushed the dining cart into the hall, and the candlelight on the exquisite cake illuminated the dark dining room. Everyone sang a birthday song with Zhang Shuocheng. Not only Zhang Huan, Liang Yingying, Zhang Heling, Zhang Shuocheng, and their aunts were there, even the old lady came as well. The cake was pushed in front of her and the birthday song was finished. Zhang Heling shook Zhang Yansheng¡¯s hand: ¡°Sister, blow the candle, blow the candle!¡± Zhang Huan held two inflatable sticks and slammed them together: ¡°Make a wish first, make a wish first!¡± Zhang Heling suddenly realized: ¡°Yes, make a wish first!¡± She looked at Zhang Yansheng with her eyes widened, wondering what wishes she would make. Zhang Yansheng remembered what happened that year¡­ She threw the cake and threatened not to celebrate her birthday again. The next year, Zhang Huan asked her in advance if she wanted to have a celebration. She was very annoyed at the time ¨C if he really wanted to do a celebration for her, she just had to go along with it! Why does he even ask?! She angrily threw an ¡°I¡¯m not¡± response to Zhang Huan. From then on, her family has never celebrated her birthday. Looking at the candlelight in the exquisite cake in front of her, Zhang Yansheng felt a lot of emotions in her heart. ¡°Sister, sister!¡± Zhang Heling shook her arm, ¡°Wish, make a wish!¡± Seeing the child¡¯s bright black eyes full of excitement and expectation, Zhang Yansheng felt soft in her heart. She let out an ¡°hmm¡± and closed her eyes facing the cake. It is not really a wish, but a sonorous and powerful pledge. But no one knows that. Everyone saw Zhang Yansheng close her eyes and make a wish, and then open them again. Those dark eyes looked like two pools of water in the candlelight. Then she blew out the candle. Zhang Huan slammed the inflatable sticks in his hand. Don¡¯t look at him as a boss in the company, Liang Yingying is just an arrogant idler in front of him, but he is the youngest son of the family, and he has always been the best at stirring up the atmosphere since he was a child. Everyone clapped their hands, some were really happy, some were happy about eating cakes, and some just joined in the fun. Since the old lady was there, Liang Yingying didn¡¯t dare not smile. She has an MMP2MMP ¨C Smile on my face, MMP in my heart ¨C means you want to swear, but you still have to keep an awkward and polite smile on my face. ¡°MMP¡± is the abbreviation of the swear word ¡®m¨¡ m¨¤i p¨©¡¯ in Sichuan dialect, which means ¡®your mother is a prostitute¡¯. in her heart, but she had to squeeze out a smile on her face, and she had to clap her hands to create an atmosphere. Zhang Shuocheng and Zhang Heling also pulled a few party poppers, there was a ¡®bang¡¯ and pieces of colored paper confetti spilled all over the floor. The curtains were opened and the dining room was brightened. Zhang Yansheng hugged the old lady¡¯s arm: ¡°Why are you here?¡± There is no reason for the elders to celebrate the birthday of the juniors. The old lady smiled and said, ¡°I came here because I want to.¡± With that, she took a thin red envelope to Zhang Yansheng. It¡¯s so thin, it goes without saying that it¡¯s a check. Everyone offered gifts, even Liang Yingying and Zhang Shuochengs had gifts. On the contrary, the aunts are responsible for increasing their spirits. Instead of them giving her gifts, Zhang Huan gave them red envelopes: ¡°Come, come here, today is Yanyan¡¯s birthday and we should all be happy!¡± All the aunts smiled and said nice things. One of them said that Miss Yanyan is getting more and more beautiful and the other said that Miss Yanyan is progressing in her studies and is in good health. Xiao Zhou, the driver, also knew about today¡¯s arrangements, and hurriedly came in after parking the car. He also got a big red envelope and grinned. The family had a lively meal and celebrated Zhang Yansheng¡¯s birthday. After dinner, Zhang Yansheng took the old lady by the arm and sent her away. She returned to her room to open the gifts. CH 102 The red envelopes given by the old lady are always cheques, which is customary. Zhang Huan¡¯s gift was a watch, which was not bad. Zhang Shuocheng¡¯s gift is a hand-painted greeting card, and the four words Happy birthday are really ugly. It can be guessed that either Zhang Huan or Zhang Heling forced him to do it. Liang Yingying¡¯s ¡®gift¡¯ was thrown directly aside. Looking at the gift, it has the logo of a big brand of jewelries, Zhang Yansheng used her toes to figure out how Liang Yingying would prepare a birthday gift for her. It was most likely that she just picked one from her own shopping spree, she just pulled one to make up as a gift. You have to say that she is correct. Zhang Heling¡¯s gift looks very beautiful and has a sense of design just by looking at the box. Of all the gifts, Zhang Yansheng is actually most looking forward to this gift. And when she really took it apart, it was beyond her expectation. Zhang Heling is just an elementary school student. It is beyond Zhang Yansheng¡¯s expectation that she can understand her aesthetics so well and buy such tasteful jewelry. The bracelet is very well-designed. It¡¯s not a delicate and exquisite style, but simple and rough, with an industrial style. Zhang Yansheng took the bracelet to her eyes to take a closer look, and found that on the inside of the buckle, in addition to a font that looked like the designer¡¯s signature, there was also a word: Power. It complements its design style. Zhang Yansheng put the bracelet on her wrist and fastened it. She raised her hand to take a look and felt very satisfied. Thinking of the expectation in Zhang Heling¡¯s eyes when she gave the gift, Zhang Yansheng pursed her lips and decided to say thank you to the little girl. She has to tell her that she likes the gift she gave very much. The door of Zhang Heling¡¯s room was ajar. Not everyone has the habit of closing the door casually like Zhang Yansheng. Many people are big-tailed wolves like Zhang Heling who can¡¯t close the door. Zhang Yansheng opened the door and was about to call her, but heard Zhang Heling say, ¡°Big Brother, wait a minute, I will show you the photos.¡± Big Brother? Zhang Heling has only one big brother in the Zhang family, their cousin Zhang Lin. Zhang Yansheng didn¡¯t think that Zhang Lin would have any contact with Zhang Heling in private, and she also doesn¡¯t usually have much interaction with Zhang Lin. They only meet at the old lady¡¯s place or at relatives¡¯ gatherings during the New Year holidays. Her aunt, Zhao Lanfen, was so disgusted with Liang Yingying, so she probably wouldn¡¯t let her son approach Zhang Heling and Zhang Shuocheng. Also, Zhang Heling has only one cousin in Liang¡¯s family, Liang Zheng, who was sent back to his hometown by Zhang Huan to prevent him from appearing in K City. Zhang Heling didn¡¯t wait to see this cousin at all, let alone contact him privately after that incident. So, who is this person Zhang Heling calls ¡®big brother¡¯? Zhang Yansheng walked in suspiciously, but saw Zhang Heling sitting in front of the computer, wearing her gaming headset, and didn¡¯t notice her coming in at all. Several windows opened on the little girl¡¯s computer, one of which was the game interface. Zhang Yansheng stared for two seconds to see and she understood ¡ª Zhang Heling was a little fool, talking to someone in the game whom she didn¡¯t know: ¡°This one.¡± Isn¡¯t the picture she sent to him the bracelet she gave to her? Yue Song was also unlucky as he was caught by the elementary school student just after he went online. There must be an after-sales service when helping others. The elementary school student sent a request for a private voice chat, Yue Song had no choice but to accept it. The roommate next to him urged him: ¡°Hurry up, hurry up!¡± Yue Song could only say: ¡°Wait a minute.¡± Then, the elementary school student said, ¡°Big Brother, Big Brother! Today is my sister¡¯s birthday, I gave her a gift! Ah, Big Brother, do you remember who I am?¡± Such a shameful name and the lolita sound are quite unforgettable. Yue Song laughed: ¡°I remember. How was it, did she like it? What did you buy?¡± ¡°I don¡¯t know if she likes it or not. She went back to her room to open her presents.¡± Zhang Heling said, ¡°Big Brother, wait a minute, I will show you a photo.¡± Zhang Heling sent Yue Song the picture of the bracelet of the ¡®Power¡¯ series that she had picked. Yue Song opened it and was surprised: ¡°Such an industrial style? Would your sister like that?¡± Very wild and rough, but Zhang Heling¡¯s voice was so soft and cute. So, Yue Song naturally imagined the high school student sister of this elementary school student as a soft and sweet girl. The result surprised him. ¡°I think she will like it!¡± Zhang Heling replied solemnly, ¡°As soon as I saw this series, I thought of my sister. Big Brother, you don¡¯t know how cool my sister is! She was trained in martial arts. She can throw a person to the ground with a ¡°whoosh¡± and a ¡°pop¡±, and she is a girl! My sister is super awesome!¡± Can throw a man to the ground? What kind of majestic sister does she have, a girl with a broad waist, burly figure, and great strength? The corner of Yue Song¡¯s mouth twitched, and he said, ¡°It¡¯s fine as long as you are happy. Well, Little Sister, my roommate is urging me about something, so I can¡¯t talk to you anymore.¡± ¡°Oh, okay! Big Brother, you are a college student.¡± Zhang Heling said, ¡°Goodbye, thank you, Big Brother!¡± ¡°Goodbye.¡± The private chat channel hung up, and as soon as Zhang Heling took off her headphones, she was knocked on the head, very lightly. Zhang Yansheng walked behind Zhang Heling and understood when she saw it. This little girl turned out to be chatting with strangers in the game! She also told strangers about her family and her birthday! The bracelet is more than 30,000, she found it on the receipt which was still in the box. She didn¡¯t know that it should be taken out. It can be seen that she doesn¡¯t understand anything. In all likelihood, she probably has told strangers the price of this gift and even how much money she has! You would know that they won¡¯t care about the money, but it makes many people¡¯s eyes red. As far as her stupid brain is concerned, she was afraid her sister will be deceived into buying things! Or may also even cheat her money! Zhang Yansheng raised her hand angrily at that time, preparing to slap her head fiercely. After accumulating all her strength, she suddenly heard the little girl say, ¡°Big Brother, you don¡¯t know how cool my sister is!¡± There was indescribable pride in that tone! Zhang Yansheng: ¡°¡­¡± Her hand paused, and she didn¡¯t knock it down all of a sudden. When Zhang Heling took off her headphones, she gently tapped on the top of her head. Zhang Heling turned her head in surprise: ¡°Sister? When did you come in?¡± She blinked and saw the bracelet on Zhang Yansheng¡¯s wrist. She was pleasantly surprised: ¡°You have put it on, Sister, do you think it looks really good?¡± Zhang Yansheng actually wanted to scold her severely, but in her surprised and expectant gaze, she held back the breath and said as calmly as possible: ¡°It looks good, I¡¯m here to say thank you.¡± Zhang Heling smiled into a flower: ¡°No need! You are welcome!¡± Look at that stupid look! Zhang Yansheng glanced at the game window on the computer screen and said, ¡°I¡¯m thirsty, go and get me a bottle of water.¡± ¡°Okay!¡± The diligent sister didn¡¯t have any doubts on her, and quickly ran out with her thin legs downstairs. Zhang Yansheng put on the headphones, held the mouse, and clicked on ¡®Friends¡¯ button in the game interface. She saw very clearly just now, that this ¡®big brother¡¯ was called ¡®ListeningToPineByTheCreek¡¯. The game ID is elegant, but it¡¯s a pity that the person behind it is a pervert! She clicked on the ID of ¡®ListeningToPineByTheCreek¡¯ and initiated a private voice chat. Yue Song just hung up the private chat of the elementary school student, and was about to join the team of his roommates, but the private chat application came up again! ¡°¡­¡± Yue Song said helplessly, ¡°Why are you here again?¡± ¡°Who is it?¡± the roommate asked. Yue Song said: ¡°¡­it¡¯s that little girl once again.¡± The ¡®little girl¡¯ in his mouth means the elementary school student. But the roommates only heard ¡®girl¡¯ and became excited: ¡°What? Girl, answer it. It¡¯s a girl, you haven¡¯t accepted it yet!¡± Yue Song held his forehead: ¡°It¡¯s the elementary school student! PurpleEyes?ColdStare?BlackHairTurnedIntoWhite.¡± This name evokes the memories of the roommates! Everyone laughed ¡®puff puff¡¯! ¡°F*ck, then little lolita is still in contact with you? She would even chat with you privately?¡± Roommate Qian Wei took off his headphones and leaned over, ¡°Honestly, are you planning to nurture the little girl?¡± Yue Song: ¡°Don¡¯t talk nonsense!¡± Qian Wei didn¡¯t believe it: ¡°Oh, come on, let us listen. What does Little Loli want to tell you?¡± The roommates all leaned in. Yue Song felt that he was not afraid of shadows, so he boldly unplugged his headphones and accepted the private voice chat request. The audio was transferred to the speaker amplifier. ¡°Hey, Little Sister¡­¡± Yue Song wanted to ask the elementary school student on the opposite side what else was going on. However, an unusually cold female voice sounded from the speaker, which interrupted him directly and asked aggressively: ¡°What kind of male college student would chat with elementary school girls like that? Still inquiring about the privacy of others¡¯ homes? You are a pervert!¡± Yuesong: ¡°¡­¡± Roommates: ¡°¡­¡± The roommates¡¯ eyes went wrong! Yue Song took a breath: ¡°No, you misunderstood!¡± ¡°Shut up! Smelly hooligan! She is only in fourth grade!¡± The girl didn¡¯t listen to his explanation at all. The voice was obviously very young, but it was faintly murderous, and told him coldly: ¡°Listen, pervert! Listen up! I will delete you now and block you on her friend¡¯s list. If you let me find out that you dare to contact my sister in any way, you can wash up clean and wait for your death!¡± Then, she disconnected the private chat. There was silence in the room. Then burst into the roar of laughter! That was the¡­ burly sister who can throw down a man, right? Yue Song held his forehead. Although he can hear that she really loves her sister very much, but¡­ ¡°Hahahahahahahaha! Lao Yue, Lao Yue! Tell us how you nurtured the Lolita!¡± ¡°Have you ever had a video chat? Is the little Lolita cute or not?¡± ¡°Have you all inquired about her family affairs? Tell us about it!¡± D*mn it! Yue Song opened his five fingers to clasp Qian Wei¡¯s face in front of him, and pushed his big face away: ¡°Scram!¡± Zhang Heling returned with water, looking naive! Zhang Yansheng looked at her face with really small eyes at this point, and told herself: Be gentle with gentle people. So, Zhang Yansheng squeezed a ¡®smile¡¯ and said ¡®gently¡¯: ¡°Come here.¡± Zhang Heling: ¡°¡­¡± Did something happen when she was not in the room? Zhang Heling¡¯s hand holding the water shook imperceptibly. The elementary school student with a strong desire to survive obediently stood in front of her murderous sister. Zhang Yansheng told herself: Be gentle, be gentle. Then she used a dead face to say to Zhang Heling: ¡°I just deleted that ListeningToPineByTheCreek in your game. Remember, you are not allowed to add strangers casually in games or on any social media software. If you want to play games, just play with your classmates.¡± Zhang Heling: ¡°Hmm!¡± Nodding! Nice attitude. Zhang Yansheng¡¯s face slightly thawed and said: ¡°There are many perverts online, including gangsters and traffickers. The bad guy won¡¯t tell you that he is a bad guy, and he is likely to look like a good guy, otherwise how can he lie to an elementary school student like you?¡± ¡°Many bad guys specialize in looking for elementary school girls, pretending to be big brothers to deceive you into trusting them, and then use various reasons to trick you out of meeting. It may be to cheat you of the money in your hand, it may be to play a hooligan on you, and the most terrifying thing is that you may be tied up with your mouth covered and stuffed into a van, and sold into the mountains to be a wife and give birth to an old man who has not taken a bath for 10 years.¡± After the threat, Zhang Heling promised with a pale face: ¡°I will never be friends with any strangers in the future!¡± The confession attitude was very sincere, and Zhang Yansheng was quite satisfied. She touched Zhang Heling¡¯s head ¡®tenderly¡¯ and said: ¡°Just remember that.¡± After speaking, she got up and went back to her room. Seeing her sister leave, the elementary school student wiped a cold sweat from her forehead: ¡±Whew¡­¡± CH 103 After the two monthly exams, the head teacher talked to Zhang Yansheng. ¡°I talked with Teacher Xu and Teacher Ma, they both think you are good and willing to work hard.¡± The head teacher said, ¡°I also talked with all the teachers in our class. I feel that compared to other students, your foundation is still not solid enough. I think you still have room for improvement, especially in mathematics.¡± ¡°If it were another student, I wouldn¡¯t make this suggestion. After all, this financial burden is relatively heavy. But in your case, if you think it is financially affordable, I suggest you continue to receive tutoring. Of course, this autonomy is yours, I am just making a suggestion.¡± In her previous life, any students from Class 8 who had a one-on-one talk with the head teacher will be scolded. Of course, the head teacher in her previous life was not the head teacher she was talking to now. But it was true that Zhang Yansheng had never been so cared about by the head teacher in her previous life. Of course, the Class 8¡¯s head teacher might be concerned, but she hadn¡¯t accepted it at all, and it might even bounce back directly. Zhang Yansheng¡¯s memory in this regard is very vague, and she probably didn¡¯t care about the school or the teacher in her heart at that time. In this life, she humbly accepted the teacher¡¯s suggestion. This year¡¯s study made her understand that although rebirth gave her a chance to do it again and gave her many lessons, but¡­ Rebirth does not change your brain and it will not improve your IQ. What should be the IQ or what not, after rebirth, one will turn from being a scumbag to a schoolmaster who rushed to Q University and B university¡­ Does not exist. Even the future provincial champion like Zhang Zhiyuan is spurring his head to get to Q University. After the detailed discussion with the head teacher, Zhang Yansheng considered her own schedule, and decided to focus on making up for the weaker subjects which are physics and mathematics. As for the teachers, Zhang Yansheng thought it was really good to invite Teachers Xu and Teacher Ma, whom she had invited at the end-of-semester remedial tutoring last semester, and wanted to invite them again. Teacher Xu negotiated with her as soon as she found him. One class a week, the two people coordinate their times, high school freshmen have no late self-study anyway, so it can be arranged after school. However, there are some twists and turns with Teacher Ma. Teacher Ma is a special grade teacher. Although he charges a price of 850 yuan an hour, he is still very popular. His time has been scheduled to be full! Teacher Ma said, ¡°How about I find another teacher for you?¡± But Zhang Yansheng was unhappy. This eldest lady who was born with a golden spoon in her hand, even if she later broke up with her relatives, she had never suffered grievances in the matter of spending money. She just wants the best. If it weren¡¯t for money, why would the teachers be so diligent and teach students at night and on weekends? Anything that can be solved with money is not difficult. After emphasizing her respect and admiration for Teacher Ma, Zhang Yansheng offered to pay double the price. That is 1,700 yuan an hour. Teacher Ma was very moved. But he said: ¡°Don¡¯t make your own decision without discussing it with adults. This will not work.¡± Zhang Yansheng pondered for a while and understood what he meant. She is a high school student, and the teacher doesn¡¯t believe her when she talks about such ¡®a lot¡¯ of money. She said politely: ¡°Then I will go home and ask my parents to discuss it with you?¡± Teacher Ma was noncommittal, neither agreed nor refused. But it was Friday and Zhang Huan was socializing at night, so Zhang Yansheng didn¡¯t see him at night. The next day, she went to her boxing training early in the morning, and she had already returned when the little slackers at home got up. Thinking about the teacher, when she walked in with a sports bag, she first asked an aunt, ¡°Is my dad at home?¡± ¡°Yes, he is in the living room.¡± Zhang Yansheng gave the bag to the aunt, who took her gym clothes to the laundry room. Zhang Yansheng went to the small hall. The functional partitions in the house are clear, and the living room and receiving area are separated. Her family¡¯s daily life is in this small hall, and there are many traces of life in the small hall. Before Zhang Yansheng walked to the entrance of the small hall, she saw Liang Yingying sneaking at the wooden edging in the corner of the entrance and wondered what she was doing. Zhang Yansheng paused and strode over. When Liang Yingying heard footsteps behind her, she immediately turned her head. Seeing that it was Zhang Yansheng, there was an unnatural expression on her face, and she smiled dryly: ¡°You are up. Oh, I¡¯m going to have breakfast.¡± After speaking, she slipped away in a hurry. Who would be like her that only got up at this time? Zhang Yansheng had already returned from going out. But why is her voice so small? As if afraid of being heard. Zhang Yansheng frowned, walked to the entrance of the small hall, and found Zhang Huan on the phone. She understood after listening for a while, and walked in. Zhang Huan did not notice her at all. He was busy talking on the phone. Zhang Huan¡¯s voice was particularly pampering and indulging: ¡°¡­I know, just go and buy it. Do it, buy it, go ahead and buy it. Just be happy.¡± Zhang Yansheng: ¡°¡­¡± Zhang Yansheng rubbed off the goose bumps on her arm, stood there with her crossed arms and listened to Zhang Huan on the phone, wanting to see how domineering and overbearing her father could be. Zhang Huan couldn¡¯t feel her presence as he was still talking on the phone: ¡°The holiday in May? Oh, you want to go on vacation, that¡¯s easy to say, easy to say. Isn¡¯t it just a vacation, I¡¯ll arrange it¡­¡± He was pacing while talking. He turned around, took two steps, and when he raised his eyes, he saw Zhang Yansheng. The air suddenly became quiet for a moment. Zhang Huan let out a ¡®cough¡¯, forcibly changed his tone, and said solemnly: ¡°¡­Ah, arrange a meeting for discussion on Monday. Then you will submit the feasibility research report of this resort project and the Investment Department will hold a meeting to study it. Okay, that¡¯s it.¡± After hanging up the phone, he rubbed his hands: ¡°Yanyan, what are you doing here? Oh, you were so quiet, really didn¡¯t make a sound, you scared Dad.¡± Zhang Yansheng crossed her arms: ¡°He who has not sinned against others by day does not need to be scared by a knock on the door at night.¡± ¡°Oh, you kid¡­¡± Zhang Huan chuckled dryly, ¡°You learn the language very well, haha, haha.¡± Zhang Yansheng rolled her eyes and said, ¡°I have something to say to you.¡± Zhang Huan¡¯s spirit was lifted up: ¡°What¡¯s the matter? Are you out of money? I told you that you can keep millions of your own money, but you have to invest them all out. It¡¯s okay, don¡¯t be afraid if you have no money, Dad is still here!¡± Seeing the expression on Zhang Yansheng¡¯s face as if she couldn¡¯t bear it anymore, he hurriedly stopped and said: ¡°Say it, tell me, what¡¯s the matter?¡± Zhang Yansheng told him about Teacher Ma and said: ¡°I want this teacher, the top municipal special-grade teacher, so you take care of him for me.¡± Zhang Huan patted his chest; ¡°Leave it to Dad!¡± Zhang Yansheng gave him the teacher¡¯s contact information, turned around and went upstairs. After less than an hour, Zhang Huan came up to take credit: ¡°It¡¯s done.¡± ¡°I told him that there will be a class every weekend. He said that the time was full and the arrangements could not be made, and it was not easy for any student to be pushed out. I asked him how many students he had and how to arrange them. I rearranged the time for him, arranged the time of each student more tightly, and squeezed out some time for you. I will send him a car to pick him up and drop him off, and pay him double the price! Hey, your teacher agreed.¡± Zhang Huan said triumphantly, ¡°Everything that money can solve is a trivial matter. My daughter said that she wants this top teacher, so what can I do as a father? Of course, I have to arrange it!¡± After finishing talking, he still wants to talk more and let his daughter know how hard he works for her! ¡°Oh, it¡¯s not easy for your teacher. Do you know how long I have been on the phone? I chatted with him and I figured out everything clearly.¡± Zhang Huan said, ¡°This Teacher Ma has an 80-year-old mother and twins. He is working so hard to earn milk powder money for his twins. His children at home are all troublemakers and there is no way to tutor the students at his home, so he can only run around.¡± ¡°Oh, middle-aged people, everyone is moving forward with a heavy burden, and it is not easy for anyone.¡± Zhang Huan sighed, ¡°Dad is also carrying the three of you, and it¡¯s not easy.¡± You¡¯re talking nonsense. Zhang Yansheng raised her eyebrows: ¡°My grandma said that you haven¡¯t suffered a day since you were born.¡± ¡°Tsk, your grandma is talking nonsense, she just loves to mock me.¡± Zhang Huan was angry, ¡°It¡¯s not easy to be a father! I broke my heart for the three of you!¡± The matter was solved like this. Life, study, and investment have gone smoothly, and Zhang Yansheng has lived a peaceful life. It¡¯s just that when she goes to bed at night, occasionally something would flash in her mind, but she couldn¡¯t catch it. She seems to have forgotten something. A faint trace of uneasiness flashed quickly, and disappeared again. Liang Yingying complained to her girlfriends at the mahjong table: ¡°The shameless vixen outside is entangled with him so much that he often doesn¡¯t go home now. Erbing!¡±1¶þ±ý ¨C Erbing ¨C mahjong tile ¨C https://www.emojidaquan.com/download-mahjong-tile-two-of-circles-emoji A little sister said, ¡°What else can you do, do you dare to make trouble with him? Batiao!¡±2°ËÌõ ¨C Batiao ¨C mahjong tile ¨C https://www.emojiall.com/zh-hans/emoji/%F0%9F%80%97 Liang Yingying was speechless. She didn¡¯t dare to make trouble. She was afraid that she would lose the Mrs. Zhang¡¯s title, so she could only swallow it. ¡°Don¡¯t be ignorant in the midst of a good fortune.¡± Another sister said, ¡°You have a son and a daughter, and their surnames are Zhang. You are guaranteed for the rest of your life. We are getting older and can¡¯t hold men anymore, you have to tie the child well. Look at us, who among us doesn¡¯t envy you? Hey, I have Yaoji!¡±3çÛ¼¦ ¨C Yaoji ¨C mahjong tile ¨C https://www.emojiall.com/zh-hans/emoji/%F0%9F%80%90 Although it made sense, Liang Yingying was still unhappy. She didn¡¯t know what was going on this year, and suddenly, the atmosphere in the whole family took a turn for the worse. A year ago, how high-spirited she was in this home! Now, she often has the illusion that she is not the hostess of this family, but Zhang Yansheng is the hostess instead. But she still listened to what the little sister said. She went to Zhang Huan and said, ¡°Would you like to take the children out for fun during the holiday? The family hasn¡¯t been out together for a long time.¡± Zhang Huan rarely praised her once: ¡°Okay, it is rare that you can still think about your children. Where do you want to go?¡± Liang Yingying was excited, said a few places, and told Zhang Huan: ¡°It¡¯s all right, you can choose after looking at them.¡± Zhang Huan nodded: ¡°I will let the secretary make the arrangement.¡± Liang Yingying thought to herself that she had to hurry up and do a few more beauty treatments, as well as hair removal. She secretly wanted to take advantage of this vacation to redeem Zhang Huan¡¯s heart. What nonsense is getting older! She is still as beautiful as a flower! She refused to admit defeat! At dinner, Zhang Huan smiled and asked Zhang Heling and Zhang Shuocheng: ¡°It¡¯s going to be a holiday soon, do you want to go out to play?¡± Before the New Year, Zhang Huan spent time with the three children on a vacation. The children had a very happy time, Zhang Heling and Zhang Shuocheng still remembered it. Their eyes lit up after hearing this and both rushed to say: ¡°Yes! Yes!¡± ¡°Dad, where are we going?¡± Liang Yingying also smiled, waiting for Zhang Huan to announce the good news to the children, she also glanced at Zhang Yansheng. Unexpectedly, Zhang Huan said, ¡°It¡¯s not Dad but your Mom who is going with you this time. Your mother will take you to an island in R Country. That island is specially developed for parent-child travel. There is a safari park and a big water park, which can make you crazy!¡± Zhang Shuocheng: ¡°Wow!¡± Liang Yingying¡¯s complexion gradually changed, her lips moved slightly, and she stopped talking. Zhang Heling had already asked what she wanted to ask: ¡°Dad, what about you? You¡¯re not going with us?¡± Zhang Huan pretended to be regretful: ¡°Dad is busy with a resort project and can¡¯t spare time to go with you. You guys have fun, you have to listen to your mother!¡± Zhang Heling was careful and asked, ¡°What about my sister?¡± Zhang Huan turned his head and asked Zhang Yansheng, ¡°Then Yanyan, you¡­¡± ¡°I have my own arrangements.¡± Zhang Yansheng said. ¡°You don¡¯t need to worry about it.¡± ¡°Your sister has arrangements.¡± Zhang Huan comforted Zhang Heling, who was a little disappointed, ¡°Your sister is too old to play with you children all the time.¡± He said to Zhang Yansheng again: ¡°Do you still have money? There is no ancestor for you!¡± Zhang Yansheng was also polite: ¡°No, so make money!¡± The wife and the two children have been arranged, and he doesn¡¯t have to worry about his eldest daughter now that she is older. Zhang Huan was beaming, feeling that he was a peerless father. The arrangements at home and abroad are clearly arranged! She also instructed Liang Yingying: ¡°¡­Keep an eye on the children, especially Shuoshuo. Let Aunt Wang go with you. Oh, you can¡¯t look after Shuoshuo, this kid is too energetic¡­ Otherwise, I¡¯ll ask Xiao Zhou if I can arrange it and let him go with you to help in looking after him!¡± Zhang Yansheng really did have an arrangement. She plans to travel with her classmates. She listened to Zhang Huan¡¯s chattering there, and occasionally raised her eyes to see, why was Liang Yingying¡¯s face so ugly? Why is she holding her hand over her heart, with the virtue of sudden death from myocardial infarction? CH 104 During the Golden Week in May, Zhang Yansheng and her classmates went out together. Of course, she can also choose to fly to Europe or Australia or wherever she wants to live a high-end vacation life. But she did have too many experiences in her previous life on this kind of travel, on the contrary, she never had the experience of traveling with classmates. So, when everyone registered the number of people, the classmates asked her if she wanted to sign up. She thought for a while and signed up. After all, in this life, she has already determined to be different from her previous life. Almost half of the students in the class went. The target is located in the mountains between K City and the next city. They did not go to scenic spots, but to the wild scenery in the mountains, where they camped and slept in the open, avoiding the crowds of people during the Golden Week. Moreover, looking at the wild scenery, turning over the top of the mountain is actually the village. Vegetables, meat, and noodles are all bought in the village, and the male students carry them back to the camp. Everyone has barbecues and picnics together. It¡¯s simple, but very interesting. During the bonfire party in the evening, Zhang Yansheng scanned her Moments and saw the photos of skydiving posted by Xu Lichen. In addition to fighting, this guy also likes various extreme sports. On several occasions, he can be said to rub shoulders with death. Wang Qian can¡¯t do this kind of exercise, but Zhang Yansheng can accompany him. She herself had some moments when she rubbed shoulders with death. But at that time, she didn¡¯t care. Looking up at the young and sentimental faces of her classmates in the firelight, she felt that in her previous life, she and Xu Lichen really burnt money and made all kinds of things to death. In the end, she really killed herself because she made friends carelessly. Zhang Yansheng tugged at the corner of her mouth and put her cellphone away. They stayed in the mountains for three days and when they woke up on the fourth day, they walked down the mountain waiting for the reserved bus to pick them up. Everyone swiped their cellphones and chatted in boredom. Suddenly, a few girls got together and squeezed to look at a person¡¯s cellphone, and said again and again: ¡°Wow!¡± ¡°Great A ah!¡± ¡°A few boys can really do it, right?¡± ¡°Boys may not, but¡­ Yansheng can!¡± The girls burst into laughter, and the boys inexplicably said, ¡°What¡¯s that? What are you looking at?¡± The girls called out to Zhang Yansheng: ¡°Yansheng, Yansheng, come and see!¡± Zhang Yansheng leaned over and took a look, and it turned out to be a short video. In the camera, the girl stood there as if bored and waiting for someone. Suddenly, a tall boy broke into the screen, and the girl stretched her hands happily and suddenly jumped into his arms. The boy only held the girl with one hand, with the other hand even in the pocket of his trousers, holding the girl handsomely and left. The boys also leaned over to watch, and after watching: ¡°F*ck! I can¡¯t do that!¡± Holding a girl with one hand is really not something that ordinary people can do. On TV, the male protagonist princess hugged the female protagonist. They heard that the female protagonist¡¯s buttocks were actually sitting on the stacked boxes, and they were not real. Even princess hugging, 80% of men can¡¯t do it, not to mention this kind of one-handed hug. The boys touched their noses and could only recognize it. ¡°Yansheng, Yansheng, can you do it?¡± the girls asked chirpily. Zhang Yansheng: ¡°Emmmm¡­¡± Her perfunctory attitude can¡¯t fool the girls. The girls¡¯ eyes lit up with excitement: ¡°You definitely can!¡± ¡°Let¡¯s record a video too!¡± ¡°Anyway, the bus hasn¡¯t come yet, and we¡¯re just idle!¡± Zhang Yansheng: ¡°¡­¡± Although she resisted in her heart, but after all, she was wrapped around (loose) and coerced (pampered) by the people¡¯s (female) desire (liveliness) and agreed to be recorded. Everyone was excited, and the boys also came to help to set the scene and design the lens. Two boys brought professional cameras and served as videographers. Most of them just use their cellphones to record a video. ¡°Walk like this!¡± ¡°Yena, pay attention to your expression!¡± ¡°It¡¯s best to take the view from this angle!¡± Suddenly everyone has become a great director, and everyone can give pointers. Before going on stage, Zhang Yansheng was afraid that she would hurt the female classmate, so she took off her sunglasses and temporarily borrowed a baseball cap from a male classmate: ¡°Cover my face.¡± After two rehearsals, filming officially started. In fact, the real shooting will only take a few tens of seconds. Someone imported the video into the short video platform on the spot, processed it with background tools, adjusted the speed, added background music, added stickers, and turned the filters on. This classmate was obviously proficient in editing short videos, and he was done in a swish. Not to mention, as soon as the slow motion was put on, the BGM sounded, and the tall girl with an indifferent expression was wearing black trousers. She picked up the slim girl, held her with one hand, and walked away with her long legs. That was so cool and so A! The girls screamed when they saw it! ¡°I want it too!¡± ¡°Yansheng! Hug me too!¡± ¡°Hug me! Hug me!¡± Zhang Yansheng: ¡°¡­¡± She knew it! The boys are envious and jealous. They just don¡¯t know if they should be jealous of the one who is holding the girl or the one being held. This mood is also sour and refreshing. By the time the bus finally came to pick them up belatedly, four girls who were very confident in their figure and appearance had already recorded a video with Zhang Yansheng. Zhang Yansheng was sullen. Don¡¯t ask, asking is irritating! Anyway, everyone had a great time! Zhang Yansheng was not idle when she returned to K City. There was no one in the house, so she ran to the villa to accompany the old lady. This time, her cousin, Zhang Qi, didn¡¯t come. She heard that her uncle¡¯s family had gone on vacation abroad. Zhang Yansheng told the old lady about her trip with her classmates, and also pulled out the videos taken by the classmates to show the old lady: ¡°There is no way to turn them down, so I have to do it.¡± The old lady looked at the videos, laughed and said: ¡°Our Yanyan is so cool! I think all the boys in your class can only stand and stare on the side. If you are a boy, would your girlfriend not be afraid to line up on a football team?¡± The old lady asked about her family again. After knowing that Liang Yingying had taken the children to R Country, she only nodded. However, after knowing that Zhang Huan was busy with a ¡®resort¡¯ project, the corners of her eyes twitched. She knows very well what projects Zhang Huan has on his side. Now he has no ¡®resort¡¯ project in his hands. Why did he go under this guise, does she still need to say it? All of his ancestors knew it very well. However, no one will do any justice for Liang Yingying. The Golden Week in May passed like this, and on the last day, everyone returned to their home. Liang Yingying¡¯s face was stinking. The two little ones were full of energy, and as soon as they saw Zhang Yansheng, they surrounded her and happily told her how interesting the island designed for parent-child travel was. The two said in unison: ¡°You should go with us next time! Liang Yingying¡¯s face stank even more. Aunt Wang and Xiao Zhou are both in good spirits. Although the two of them were unable to take a vacation, they not only traveled abroad for free, but also received three times the overtime pay stipulated by the Labor Law and Zhang Huan¡¯s additional allowance. For those who want to support their families, it is still a good deal. Seeing Xiao Zhou, Zhang Yansheng remembered another thing, so she went back to her room and grabbed it. In the corner of the cloakroom, she found the ¡®gift¡¯ that Liang Yingying gave to her on her birthday and gave it to Xiao Zhou: ¡°The gift from someone else is not suitable for me.¡± The eldest lady gave it, so of course, it is genuine. Xiao Zhou¡¯s eyes lit up when he saw the logo. ¡°Keep it, I¡¯ll keep it for now!¡± He smiled, ¡°I¡¯ll wait for my girlfriend¡¯s next birthday.¡± Zhang Yansheng remembers that his girlfriend¡¯s birthday is either August or September. This is a posture that he intends to wait for three or four months before giving it to her? He really plans it carefully. Zhang Yansheng couldn¡¯t help but twitch the corners of her mouth. Zhang Huan also returned from the ¡®resort¡¯ project. He is very energetic and he looks as if he had gotten a few years younger. Is he not afraid of picking yin to replenish yang? Therefore, no matter how old men are, they always like young girls between the ages of 18 and 22, especially middle-aged and elderly men. It seems that only from their tender bodies can their lost youth be recovered. Liang Yingying¡¯s face was drawn as if she was a dead mother. ¡­¡­ The student¡¯s life is still monotonous, and the summer seems to be quiet and good. One Friday evening, Xu Lichen suddenly called her which broke the tranquility. He didn¡¯t speak for a long time and she could only hear the sound of breathing. Zhang Yansheng said ¡°Hello¡± a few times, and began to feel impatient: ¡°Are you there? Are you not going to speak? I¡¯ll hang up if you won¡¯t talk!¡± Xu Lichen finally spoke. His voice was not loud, but it was like a flash of lightning across Zhang Yansheng¡¯s brain, which made her finally remember about that feeling of forgetting something that occasionally appeared to her. Xu Lichen said: ¡°It¡¯s starting, my dad and my mom.¡± Zhang Yansheng had totally forgotten about this! Yes, it was during this semester that Xu Lichen¡¯s father finally discovered that Xu Lichen¡¯s mother was quietly transferring assets. The paper can no longer hold the fire. This married couple who started from scratch, started a business together, and became famous for their love, finally tore their faces. Their eyes were red, fighting desperately until one died. Sometimes Zhang Yansheng also thinks about it, what the hell is going on? Obviously, these people, a man and a woman, have also fallen in love, have been lingering, have accompanied each other when they were lonely, and supported each other in times of difficulty. Why did they become enemies afterwards, eager to cramp and skin each other? What kind of magic hole is marriage, which makes everyone who falls in it unrecognizable and hideous? ¡°¡­¡± Zhang Yansheng asked softly, ¡°How are you?¡± ¡°I¡¯m okay.¡± Xu Lichen said on the phone, ¡°I have been mentally prepared, I really don¡¯t feel much to this day.¡± On the other end of the phone, the boy sat on the desk, looking at the mess in front of him. ¡°I just want to tell you that it was like a scene in a movie.¡± He said, ¡°My mom¡¯s study room was like being robbed ¡ª my dad, with some men, violently broke open my mom¡¯s safe. He didn¡¯t find what he was looking for and smashed a jade sculpture worth more than one million yuan. It¡¯s fucking awesome!¡± The safe was violently cracked by an electric welding torch and a cutting machine, and there was nothing in it that Father Xu was looking for, only found some cash and jewelry inside. The jade sculpture shattered on the ground, piece by piece, shimmering. It was once a gift from a husband to his wife, and it was also a gift from the heart. Now, it became dregs all over the place. The pungent smell of molten metal from the electric welding torch was also still wafting in the air. Xu Lichen laughed in his mouth, but raised his head, trying to hold back the liquid irritated by the pungent smell in his eyes. Zhang Yansheng¡¯s calm but cold voice was heard on the phone. ¡°Stand on the same front as your mother, only she has the same interests as you.¡± ¡°Listen to her, don¡¯t tear your face with your dad, so you might be able to help her if necessary.¡± ¡°In this way, it is also good for yourself¡­¡± She is right. His mom said the same thing. She actually hurriedly called him earlier today, gave him a preview of what might happen, and told him that she would not go home for the time being. So, when he returned home, he was not surprised to see the messy and angry father in the study. He even listened to his mother¡¯s words and tried to stabilize his father¡¯s emotions. Yes, he can do it. But he just obediently did it. He actually didn¡¯t understand, his mother, and also Zhang Yansheng ¡ª why they could maintain such a calm tone and calm emotions when they faced these things. It is really too difficult to do that. CH 105 Xu Lichen hung up the phone, still sitting on the desk, looking at the oil painting thrown on the floor and the destroyed safe on the wall. There was some cash and jewelries in it. His father didn¡¯t find what he wanted. He just ignored the money and jewelries, then got angry and left. It left a mess all over the place. Everyone is gone, and the house becomes quiet. The aunt hesitantly came over and said: ¡°Chenchen, look at this¡­¡± Xu Lichen expressionlessly: ¡°Clean this up.¡± The aunt said, ¡°I don¡¯t dare, there¡¯s so much money! Why don¡¯t you collect the money and all these things first? They are all old and expensive things. If we knock them over or if some of them gets missing, we can never tell.¡± Xu Lichen then called his mother¡¯s secretary: ¡°Secretary Wang, I need a new safe. Okay, send it over as soon as possible. Those people have already left. Tell my mother not to worry about what happened here at home, I¡¯m still here.¡± After making this call, he continued to sit there, motionless. Watching the aunts clean up the floor first, and then they all went out. The light in the room gradually dimmed. By the time an aunt suddenly turned on the light, it was already dark outside. The aunt said: ¡°The new safe is here.¡± Xu Lichen then saw the workers bring in a new safe. When the workers saw the contents of the old safe, they turned their heads and asked him, ¡°Sir, this¡­¡± Xu Lichen: ¡°Help me put them all in the new safe.¡± The workers resolutely refused: ¡°There¡¯s so much money, please put it yourself.¡± Xu Lichen didn¡¯t want to move and said, ¡°Auntie, you do it.¡± The aunt glanced at him, sighed, and transferred the money and jewelries to the new safe. The workers recorded the voiceprint password for Xu Lichen, installed the new safe, and left. The aunt came and called Xu Lichen: ¡°Let¡¯s go and eat something.¡± Xu Lichen only shook his head. He didn¡¯t eat or drink, sitting on the desk all the time, staring at the new safe. He didn¡¯t know how long it had been, then an aunt knocked on the door: ¡°Chenchen¡­¡± Xu Lichen didn¡¯t look back: ¡°What?¡± The aunt said, ¡°Your friend is here.¡± Friend? Xu Lichen suddenly turned his head. The girl standing at the door is tall, with heroic eyebrows and compelling beauty. Isn¡¯t that Zhang Yansheng? The aunt looked at Xu Lichen, then looked at the beautiful girl, and quietly walked out. Xu Lichen turned his head and looked at Zhang Yansheng across the air for a while, then jumped off the table and laughed twice. ¡°What¡¯s the matter, Zhang Yansheng? Did you come here to comfort me?¡± He put his hands on his waist triumphantly, ¡°Just admit it, do you like me?¡± ¡°It is impossible to like you.¡± Zhang Yansheng put her hands on her waist too, and affirmatively said, ¡°It is impossible in this life.¡± Zhang Yansheng had no intention of coming. Xu Lichen sounded strong on the phone, much calmer than her previous life. He also said: ¡°I will take care of it.¡± Zhang Yansheng hung up the phone with confidence. No matter what happens in this life, she has a stronger confidence in Xu Lichen now than in the previous life. At dinner earlier, Zhang Huan talked about Zhang Shuocheng at the dining table: ¡°¡­there is not a day that makes me worry about you.¡± Zhang Yansheng: ¡°Huh?¡± What happened? Zhang Heling complained to Zhang Yansheng: ¡°Shuoshuo had a fight with someone, and my father was invited by his head teacher today.¡± Now that Zhang Shuocheng is much more obedient under Zhang Yansheng¡¯s management (cultivation) and teaching (logic) at home than before, he didn¡¯t expect him to cause trouble in school again. Moreover, since Zhang Shuocheng¡¯s head teacher invited Zhang Huan instead of Liang Yingying last semester, she found that the effect was much better than inviting Liang Yingying. As soon as something happened, she didn¡¯t hesitate to call Zhang Huan. Zhang Huan was particularly helpless. ¡°You are so big, but still dare to fight with the boys in the third grade?¡± Zhang Huan threatened Zhang Shuocheng fiercely, ¡°I will ask your sister to clean you up later!¡± Although Zhang Shuocheng refused to admit his mistake, there was still guilt and nervousness under the gaze of Zhang Yansheng. As long as Zhang Shuocheng doesn¡¯t bully girls and doesn¡¯t develop in that bad direction in the future, Zhang Yansheng doesn¡¯t actually care what he does or who he fights with. Even Zhang Heling is in charge of his studies. Zhang Yansheng is responsible for beating him when he crosses the line. However, although nuclear weapons are not easy to use, their deterrence is enormous. Zhang Huan¡¯s threatening sentence caused psychological pressure on Zhang Shuocheng. After dinner, Zhang Yansheng went back to her room, and Zhang Shuocheng actually took the initiative to knock on her door. ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± Zhang Yansheng asked as she blocked the door. Zhang Shuocheng was embarrassed and said something in a low voice. ¡°?¡± Zhang Yansheng was impatient, ¡°Speak up, what did you say?¡± Zhang Shuocheng amplified the volume: ¡°¡­he pushed Coco to the ground and pulled her braids before I hit him.¡± Zhang Yansheng understood. It turns out that Zhang Shuocheng became an angry confidante. ¡°Coco?¡± Zhang Yansheng still had a vague impression of the name. ¡°The girl you like?¡± Zhang Shuocheng said, ¡°Coco has no front teeth. It¡¯s so ugly, so I don¡¯t like her anymore.¡± Zhang Yansheng: ¡°¡­¡± Is this a genetic scumbag attribute? Why don¡¯t you look in the mirror and see your own virtue of missing teeth and leaking wind? ¡°Do you still fight for her even if you don¡¯t like her anymore?¡± Zhang Yansheng asked strangely. Zhang Shuocheng naturally said: ¡°Because we are friends!¡± The little thing has been a tyrant since he was a child, but now he has friends? He knows what a friend is! A friend is¡­ Zhang Yansheng remembered what Xu Lichen said on the phone, ¡°Don¡¯t worry about me, I can handle it myself.¡± She actually heard the strong support in Xu Lichen¡¯s words. Compared with smoking, drinking and fighting in her previous life, and smashing wine bottles in anger, Xu Lichen has become more mature and calmer in this life. Zhang Yansheng wanted to praise him. She stretched out her hand, patted Zhang Shuocheng on the top of his head, and praised him: ¡°In this case, I don¡¯t think you did anything wrong. For girls, it should be right to protect them, not to bully them.¡± Zhang Shuocheng hadn¡¯t been praised by Zhang Yansheng once in 10,000 years, and he was flattered. Zhang Yansheng¡¯s hand was placed on top of Zhang Shuocheng¡¯s head. Does Xu Lichen need praise too? Is that right? What he needs is to determine whether he can inherit more property in the future, right? What exactly does he need? Is he at home now? Zhang Yansheng is very familiar with that house. Because Father Xu and Mother Xu are full of vigilance against each other, they no longer go back to live there. Therefore, for a long time, Xu Lichen was the only one who lived there, and it became their activity base for night parties. Right now, he is alone in that house¡­¡­ It was better to be friends than lovers, this was the kind of relationship they had in the past life. If they didn¡¯t become lovers in the previous life, it¡¯s even more impossible in this life. But if it¡¯s being a friend, then they can always be. Because when they are most vulnerable, they have always been with each other. Zhang Yansheng suddenly retracted her hand and turned back to the room. Zhang Shuocheng: ¡°?¡± Zhang Yansheng came out soon, already carrying a bag on her back, and strode out. ¡°Where are you going?¡± Zhang Shuocheng asked. ¡°To see a friend.¡± Zhang Yansheng said. So, Zhang Yansheng really came. ¡°F*ck!¡± Xu Lichen cursed while his hands are still at his waist, ¡°Then why are you here?¡± ¡°You just said it now, I came to comfort you.¡± Zhang Yansheng shrugged, ¡°To see if you are hiding and crying alone?¡± ¡°Ah bah!¡± Xu Lichen didn¡¯t know that there were already two traces on his face, which could be seen clearly by the reflection of the light. He glared at her: ¡°You won¡¯t be able to see it, maybe in the next life!¡± It¡¯s already the next life now. Zhang Yansheng smiled and beckoned: ¡°Let¡¯s go, I¡¯ll take you to a good place. Where is your car?¡± The so-called car refers to Xu Lichen¡¯s motorcycle. The motorcycle was parked in the garage of Xu¡¯s house. As soon as Xu Lichen wanted to get into it, Zhang Yansheng grabbed his shoulders and dragged him behind him. Xu Lichen: ¡°Heyyyyyy!¡± Zhang Yansheng raised her long legs and had already gotten into it. ¡°Hey! Can you drive it?¡± Xu Lichen didn¡¯t trust her very much. Zhang Yansheng: ¡°Unlock it!¡± Xu Lichen¡¯s motorcycle has a customized fingerprint lock. He pressed his thumb on it and the engine started. Xu Lichen straddled to the back and asked, ¡°Where are we going?¡± Zhang Yansheng told him: ¡°Jiao Lake.¡± ¡°That far?¡± Xu Lichen was surprised, ¡°Are we going to enjoy the lake view at night? I¡¯m telling you that I don¡¯t like the literary style. If you want to comfort me, why don¡¯t we go to Sihou Street for a drink¡­¡± ¡°Don¡¯t talk so much nonsense.¡± Zhang Yansheng put on her helmet and shouted. Xu Lichen found that he always had to be ordered by Zhang Yansheng. He sat down and put on his helmet. When he came up to her back, he still didn¡¯t give up and asked, ¡°Can you really do it?¡± The motorcycle let out a roar. Xu Lichen hurriedly hugged Zhang Yansheng¡¯s waist. Really this! He was a little uncomfortable. He has always taken girls and it¡¯s the first time a girl has taken him. While thinking about it, the motorcycle rushed out with a roar. So, Xu Lichen finally knew that Zhang Yansheng was very good at riding a motorcycle! On Friday nights, people came out to live overnight, and there were serious traffic jams on the road. This motorcycle, which is led by a girl and a boy, travels through the traffic, and the slender and tight legs of the female knight attracted the attention of the people in the cars. The motorcycle drove out of the ring road, out of the city, and onto the national highway. The speed increased, and the trees on both sides retreated quickly. Buildings gradually became scarce. When they arrived at the outskirts of the lake, because it had always been an industrial area, there were no residential projects, but a lot of factories and warehouses. If you want to see the lake view, you have to go further. But Zhang Yansheng drove the motorcycle into a place that looked like a factory. There were a lot of cars parked in the parking lot, which almost filled the huge yard. Xu Lichen got out of the motorcycle and took off his helmet and looked at it: ¡°What is this place? Why is it so tattered?¡± The cement outside the brick wall has fallen off, and it is full of creepers. It looks like an old factory building or warehouse or something. But there were several men smoking there at the gate. Zhang Yansheng took Xu Lichen over and was stopped by them. Zhang Yansheng asked directly: ¡°Is Brother Pang there?¡± The people who stopped them looked at her warily, one of them said: ¡°Yes, you are¡­¡± Somewhat confused by her youth and face. But Zhang Yansheng paid 2,000 yuan familiarly: ¡°Two people.¡± These people couldn¡¯t write down all the guests, especially Zhang Yansheng, who seemed to be very familiar with the place. After they collected the money, they opened the door. Xu Lichen followed Zhang Yansheng in. There was another door inside. When he entered it, he found a thick soundproof curtain hanging down from it. Pulling aside the heavy curtains, the sound rushed across his face and penetrated his ears. The open space is full of people. In the middle ring, two people were punching each other¡¯s flesh, and their bursting sweat was shining in the light. The audience cheered loudly! Xu Lichen opened his mouth and stared blankly at this underground boxing ring. Zhang Yansheng turned her head to look at him: ¡°If you think this is too literary, then I will accompany you to Sihou Street for a drink.¡± ¡°F*ck you! If you don¡¯t bury the people, you won¡¯t be able to talk well, right?¡± Xu Lichen scolded her with a smile, ¡°I¡¯m not going anywhere but here!¡± Zhang Yansheng glanced at the ring and asked him, ¡°Do you want to go up there?¡± Xu Lichen¡¯s blood was hot. CH 106 Yue Song pulled the neckline of his shirt, revealing a nice collarbone. ¡°What¡¯s wrong? Want to go up there?¡± Xue Xintong smiled. Yue Song put his hand down: ¡°I will just take a look.¡± Xue Xintong was speechless: ¡°You are about to become an old man!¡± ¡°You can¡¯t forget that I am a contemporary college student with a colorful campus life because I accompany my grandfather to play golf every week,¡± Yue Song said. This underground boxing ring was transformed from an old factory building. The space is high and wide. There are many iron corridors and iron escalators circling overhead. It has now been transformed into a ¡®VIP¡¯ area. Looking down from above, you can not only see the fierceness between the boxers, but also the flurry of demons in the audience, which can be seen more clearly and more passionately. One player knocked another player to the ground with a punch, and cheers and screams erupted from the audience below. Xue Xintong also shouted ¡ª in this environment, it is difficult not to be passionate. Therefore, wearing a white shirt, leaning against the iron railing, smoking quietly and looking down, Yue Song is as different as he stands out from the crowd. A touch of coldness and brightness above the boiling emotions. Xue Xintong was very helpless with her cousin. He was basically brought up by old man Yue, so she didn¡¯t know how, just like an old monk who entered a meditative state, it is difficult to see him showing other emotions other than being ¡®calm¡¯. Xue Xintong has a dandy elder brother who vie with her for family property until his eyes become red, and he is almost like a mortal enemy. Yue Song is the only grandson of the Yue family and has no other brothers or sisters, so he has been closer to Xue Xintong since he was a child, and he is no different from her siblings. Xue Xintong has a hot and straightforward temperament. She often rolled her eyes at her cousin, who is not sloppy and does not change his face in front of the mountain. ¡°I told you to blend with the atmosphere as well!¡± Xue Xintong shouted, ¡°Get high!¡± ¡°I¡¯m very high now.¡± Yue Song said with a cigarette in surprise, ¡°Can¡¯t you see it?¡± Xue Xintong: ¡°¡­¡± Rolled her eyes with anger. Yue Song flicked the soot in the cigarette and smiled happily. The bell rang below and there was an intermission. A show girl wearing a miniskirt and holding a sign went in to go in circles. Taking advantage of this time, Yue Song took out his cellphone and glanced at it. There were new posts in the ¡®dormitory¡¯ chat group. He clicked it open and took a look. Qian Wei posted a short video: ¡°Look, look, long legs!¡± Another roommate looked at it and said, ¡°F*ck, if girls are like this, would the guys still matter? (widenoodletears.jpg)¡±1¿íÃæÌõÀá.jpg ¨C http://www.dashangu.com/postimg_3418482_5.html What¡¯s this? Yue Song moved his finger to play the video. The petite girl was standing there, and suddenly, the girl with long legs and a baseball cap broke into the camera, picked up the petite girl with one hand, held it with the other, and carried the girl away in a koala hug. This power is beyond the reach of ordinary men. No wonder his roommate would say such a thing. The video is very short, only a few tens of seconds. After the playback is over, it will be automatically replayed and looped repeatedly. For the first time, he naturally paid attention to the girl¡¯s long legs and her strength that might even be stronger than that of a man. For the second time, Yue Song only noticed in the last few seconds, when she was about to walk out of the camera, the girl turned her head around, as if looking at the camera. With the sound of ¡°dang¡±, the bell rang below. A show girl walked around holding the ¡°5¡± signboard. A new round has begun again. However, Yue Song suddenly paused, holding the phone closer to his face. The video loops again, twice, and three times. Yue Song asked Qian Wei in the group: ¡°Where did the video come from?¡± Qian Wei replied in seconds: ¡°It¡¯s on the short video platform. This video is on the homepage. It¡¯s very popular.¡± Yue Song clicked on the video and stared at it, he watched it several times. Although the baseball cap covered part of her face, you can see that she¡¯s not wearing any makeup. But that face, the shape of the lips that made people look at it with hormonal changes, Yue Song believed that he would not admit the wrong person. This girl looks cold and gorgeous when she puts on makeup, and she has invested boldly even though she¡¯s still in high school. Yue Song didn¡¯t expect her to¡­ also have such strength. Zhang Yanyan. Yue Song thought she was amazing. Since he noticed her for the first time, he would find her presence or traces of her in these unexpected places. Yue Song put his cellphone away, held the railing with both hands, and looked down. The corners of his mouth were slightly raised. As if in the dark, he has a strange relationship with this girl. But he would not know that fate had arranged for him to brush shoulders with her many times before they really met. Because among the dark heads below, there is a Zhang Yansheng who he mistook as ¡®Zhang Yanyan¡¯. Zhang Yansheng found the man nicknamed ¡°Brother Pang¡± familiarly and told him: ¡°My friend wants to fight.¡± Brother Pang looked at the pair of youngsters and hesitated. Although they are in a gray business, they don¡¯t want to get into trouble. ¡°How old are you two?¡± He asked, ¡°Are you an adult?¡± Zhang Yansheng raised his eyebrows: ¡°Do you want me to call 110 to report? No one cares about our age now.¡± Brother Pang looked at her, and she stared back. After a few seconds, Brother Pang said, ¡°Follow me.¡± Yue Song saw from the top that a new fighter was replaced from the bottom. But he had already enjoyed himself today, and said to Xue Xintong: ¡°Let¡¯s go back.¡± Xue Xintong said: ¡°Hey, it¡¯s still early.¡± ¡°It¡¯s not interesting anymore.¡± Yue Song said, ¡°I also have to get up early tomorrow to accompany my grandpa to play golf.¡± Xue Xintong was angry and said: ¡°Seriously, I won¡¯t take you out next time.¡± ¡°I¡¯m telling you now that I won¡¯t come with you then.¡± Yue Song said, ¡°You have to drag me out.¡± ¡°You don¡¯t know what¡¯s good and bad for you!¡± Zhang Yansheng didn¡¯t know that someone had left from above her head, and missed him again. She had never looked up at the deserted brightness. She kept looking at Xu Lichen and said to him: ¡°Go ahead and have a good fight.¡± Xu Lichen slammed his two gloves and said, ¡°Zhang Yansheng, I found that you¡­ really know what I need. You¡¯re a god.¡± He put on his braces and went inside the ring. Zhang Yansheng watched him play, watched him punch his opponent, and watched him use his body to withstand his opponent¡¯s attacks. Zhang Yansheng knows that feeling best. Whether it is the pleasure of hitting or the pain of being beaten, it is the best way to vent those suppressed emotions. In the dripping sweat, those who can¡¯t shout, those who can¡¯t speak, and the violent emotions that can¡¯t cry but rush from left to right in the body will eventually be vented. Then people can get a moment of peace. When Xu Lichen came down from the ring with a nosebleed, he felt this kind of tranquility. He took a shower and came out, and Brother Pang handed him a roll of money: ¡°Okay, young man, I didn¡¯t see it. Which club are you from?¡± There is still money to take? Xu Lichen was a little surprised, and stretched out his hand to take a look. Although it was a small amount of money, it was the first time in his life that he made money. He stuffed the money into his trouser pocket and replied to the fat brother: ¡°I¡¯m just fooling around.¡± This means that he was just unwilling to tell him. Brother Pang didn¡¯t force it and just said: ¡°Come back next time.¡± He said again: ¡°Your girlfriend said she was waiting for you outside.¡± Girlfriend? Xu Lichen pondered on this word as he walked out. Zhang Yansheng was sitting on his black motorcycle, with really beautiful legs. If there is such a girlfriend, Xu Lichen would really be happy. But¡­ Zhang Yansheng stretched out a fist at him. Xu Lichen stared at the fist and raised his eyes: ¡°I don¡¯t want to.¡± Zhang Yansheng: ¡°Huh?¡± Xu Lichen said confidently: ¡°I like you!¡± ¡°You like me what sh*t! I don¡¯t like you!¡± Zhang Yansheng cursed, ¡°Hurry up, idiot!¡± You think it¡¯s not sour to hold your hand! Xu Lichen was scolded out of temper. Okay. He sighed up to the sky, stretched out his hand, and banged his fist with Zhang Yansheng. This fists bump means that from now on, they will be considered as brothers, ah, brother! ¡°I¡¯ll drive!¡± He put on his helmet, ¡°Hurry up and find a place to eat, I¡¯ll starve to death!¡± ¡°There is no place to eat here, so we have to go back to the city.¡± ¡°Then let¡¯s go back! Let¡¯s go! Hurry up or I¡¯ll starve to death!¡± The two returned to the city and found a burger shop. Xu Lichen ate four burgers, six pairs of chicken wings, two large French fries, drank two glasses of coke, and ate another ice cream before he was full. Walking out of the burger shop, Zhang Yansheng flipped through her bag and pointed to the convenience store next to the burger shop: ¡°Go and buy me a pack of wet wipes.¡± Xu Lichen: ¡°¡­¡± How can it be so natural for her to command him? Thinking of this in his heart, his body had already obediently walked to the convenience store, and soon bought a pack of wet tissues. Zhang Yansheng took out one, walked straight to the public phone on the street, and wiped the public phone. Xu Lichen: ¡°?¡± After wiping it clean, Zhang Yansheng took off the handset, wiped it again, put it to her ear and mouth, and directly pressed the ¡®Police Station¡¯ button. The call was quickly connected, and Zhang Yansheng said, ¡°Hello, 110? I want to make a report.¡± Xu Lichen: ¡°??¡± Zhang Yansheng: ¡°I want to report an underground boxing ring. The address is located at No. 11 Zhongnan Road, Jiao Lake. That place should have been a processing plant. The person in charge is nicknamed Brother Pang. They are open for business today, there are boxing matches, and they can also place bets, starting at 10,000 yuan. There must have been more than 300 people gathered there right now. This is illegal assembly, illegal gambling¡­¡± Xu Lichen: ¡°??????????¡± ¡°Me? I¡¯m the successor of socialism, so you can call me red scarf.¡± Zhang Yansheng said, ¡°Okay, that¡¯s it.¡± Then she hung up the phone abruptly. Turning her head, she saw Xu Lichen¡¯s head full of question marks. She raised her eyebrows: ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± ¡°No, you¡­¡± Xu Lichen was confused, ¡°You, do you have a grudge against them?¡± ¡°No.¡± Zhang Yansheng said calmly. Xu Lichen became even more ineffable: ¡°Then why did you¡­¡± ¡°Why?¡± Zhang Yansheng raised her eyebrow, ¡°Is there anything wrong with me being a law-abiding citizen and reporting the illegal gambling in that underground boxing ring?¡± In theory, no. But, but, but! ¡°If you think about going back there next time, then don¡¯t think about it.¡± Zhang Yan sneered, ¡°Xu Lichen, I¡¯m telling you, you can just smoke a cigarette and drink alcohol. However, you can¡¯t touch porn, gambling, and drugs, do you understand?¡± He looked at her and he couldn¡¯t explain why he was a little afraid of her. Xu Lichen felt that the back of his neck was cold, and he nodded with a strong desire to survive: ¡°I know, I know!¡± Zhang Yansheng put on her helmet and said, ¡°Let¡¯s go, take me home!¡± ¡­¡­ The sun is very good on Saturday, and the air in the early morning is slightly cool. Yue Song hit a ball with a swing, and several old men praised: ¡°Good shot!¡± Yue Song smiled and stepped aside. It just so happened that his phone rang, he walked away a few steps and answered the call: ¡°Sister?¡± Xue Xintong said: ¡°Have you watched the news?¡± ¡°?¡± Yue Song, ¡°What news?¡± ¡°Fortunately, we left early last night.¡± Xue Xintong raised her forehead, ¡°The underground boxing ring in the outskirts of Jiao Lake was taken over last night. Several people I know walked around the police station last night.¡± Yue Song faintly said ¡°Oh¡±. ¡°¡­¡± Xue Xintong, ¡°You are so calm.¡± ¡°Otherwise? Do I still have to act shocked?¡± Yue Song said, ¡°Isn¡¯t it normal for this kind of place to be raided?¡± Xue Xintong became suspicious: ¡°Just tell me, you didn¡¯t report it, did you?¡± She felt that it¡¯s really possible. ¡°I went home yesterday and fell asleep right away.¡± Yue Song said, ¡°However, although I did not report it, I think it¡¯s okay, no matter who did it.¡± He said: ¡°Isn¡¯t it normal for law-abiding citizens to report illegal gambling venues?¡± There was a long silence on the phone. Xue Xintong cursed: ¡°You old man!¡± CH 107 Enchantress13-16 minutes 19.03.2022 After returning to school at the end of the weekend, Yue Song lived his ¡®colorful contemporary university life¡¯ again. He asked Qian Wei for a link to that video and found that there was more than one video of ¡®Zhang Yanyan¡¯. Several uploaders who pay attention to each other have reposted her videos. Just this video of koala-hugging, she probably took it with four or five different girls. It should be taken in the same place based on the background. The titles of these videos are ¡®The girl in our class is an A burst¡¯, ¡®Why do I want a boyfriend with such a girlfriend¡¯, ¡®I want to be hugged too¡¯, and the like. People will smile when they see it. Others are tidbit videos. She was surrounded by several girls, some of them jumped anxiously: ¡°It¡¯s my turn, it¡¯s my turn! Hug me next!¡± She also took off her sunglasses and handed them to others: ¡°I¡¯ll help you take it, don¡¯t hurt her.¡± Then, she went to borrow a hat from the boy again: ¡°Cover my face.¡± It turned out that she didn¡¯t want to show her face in the video, so she must have known that her face had been exposed by these classmates in these tidbits. A group of high school kids don¡¯t do things well at all. If she finds out, he doesn¡¯t know if she will be angry. Yue Song thought it was funny. Yue Song saved the videos of her koala hugging others. He took a look at the channels of the uploaders who were obviously her classmates, and sure enough, he saw some daily videos shot from their school. Meals, school breaks, lunch breaks, self-study¡­ In those random, shaking videos, she is occasionally seen. Even if she is wearing a sack-like school uniform and standing in the crowd without makeup, she will not be indifferent to everyone. Zhang Yanyan was born with an aura, which is different from other high school students. If it was said that he had met her only by chance or found traces of her before, then this is the first time that Yue Song has begun to actively look for her traces. Qian Wei leaned his head over and asked, ¡°What are you looking at?¡± Yue Song tilted the screen of his cellphone unbothered: ¡°Chasing the star.¡± During the holidays, he will have a lot of business. However, during the semester, he will reduce the arrangements for those affairs to ensure that he has plenty of time to live a normal campus life. Yue Song knew very well that he had a lifetime to do business and invest, but his student days were only a few short years. The ivory tower is a calm and comfortable place. Since he was a child, he has been in contact with many people in the business world with his grandfather and uncle. Compared with simple-minded classmates, he is relaxed and happy. Of course, not everyone has a simple mind. There are always people who want to show some untimely scheming at this age. One day, Qian Wei gloated and told him: ¡°Have you heard that Zhang Qi made a pass at Senior Brother Zhang.¡± Senior brother Zhang is the boyfriend of senior sister Jiang and is in graduate school in their university. He is tall and handsome, and he is a perfect match for senior sister Jiang. Although Qian Wei likes senior sister Jiang, this kind of liking is accompanied by some admiration. He has only envy, no jealousy, and no negative emotions for senior brother Zhang. This is also the reason why Yue Song likes college life. There are not so many conflicts of interest and intrigue between you and others, and even some small emotions look a bit cute. Yue Song asked, ¡°What did Zhang Qi do again?¡± Everyone in the student union knows that Zhang Qi and senior sister Jiang do not get along well, or it should be said that Zhang Qi didn¡¯t look very pleasing to senior sister Jiang. This rich lady has never confronted senior sister Jiang head-on, always attacking her side by side, saying things that are flattering and derogatory. In short, she is a very green tea b*tch. But she is beautiful and she has a few suitors in school. She is rich and she has a few small sidekicks. Speaking in the student union, some people are willing to respond to her. This semester, senior year students are all looking for a job. Rumor has it that she has arranged a good-paying job for a senior brother, so more people are willing to curry favor with her. Fortunately, senior sister Jiang is also beautiful, popular, and has a wide base of people, so she is not afraid of her. But there is no way to be restrained by her from time to time. ¡°You don¡¯t know how stupid this woman is.¡± Qian Wei said with a bit of contempt, ¡°Senior Brother Zhang went to the student union to pick up Senior Sister Jiang. She actually told Senior Brother Zhang, ¡®I really envy your girlfriend. She is so popular with boys. I really want to have a physique that attracts boys like Senior Sister Jiang¡¯.¡± He squeezed his throat, imitating Zhang Qi¡¯s tone of voice. Yue Song¡¯s smile faded as he waited to hear the joke. Because both he and Qian Wei belong to the student union, they are familiar with senior sister Jiang and senior brother Zhang. When Zhang Qi said this, she implicitly involved both him and Qian Wei, not only provoking the relationship between senior brother Zhang and senior sister Jiang, but also provoking the relationship between senior brother Zhang and them. ¡°She told Senior Brother Zhang again, ¡®If your girlfriend is like this, then it¡¯s going to be hard for Senior Brother as well, right? You often come to pick her up. In fact, you really can¡¯t be rest assured. Oh, I really feel sorry for Senior Brother¡¯.¡± Qian Wei continued. He asked, ¡°What did Senior Brother Zhang say?¡± ¡°Senior Brother Zhang didn¡¯t plan to deal with her. Since he is a few years older, Senior Brother Zhang regarded her as a child and didn¡¯t want to know her in general.¡± Qian Wei said, ¡°As a result, Senior Sister Jiang came out and saw the two of them talking. She was a little surprised. You know that the two of them really don¡¯t get along in the student union. Then Senior Sister Jiang asked her boyfriend why he was talking with the girl whom she doesn¡¯t pay attention to, right? As a result, Zhang Qi suddenly took a step back, distanced herself from Senior Brother Zhang, and said: ¡®We didn¡¯t talk about anything, really, just talk casually, Senior Sister, don¡¯t think too much about it¡¯.¡± Yue Song smiled ¡®sneeringly¡¯ and shook his head: ¡°She really doesn¡¯t know Senior Brother Zhang.¡± ¡°Yes, she is a freshman. She hadn¡¯t seen Senior Brother Zhang¡¯s heroic voice fighting against Confucian scholars in the debate. She just watched Senior Brother Zhang¡¯s tenderness and gentleness to Senior Sister Jiang, listening to everything. She might have thought that Senior Brother Zhang is a dumb and easy-to-handle person.¡± Qian Wei also sneered. He said: ¡°Senior Brother Zhang must be anxious and must hurry to change the situation. If he doesn¡¯t clear it up on the spot, you won¡¯t be able to tell how Senior Sister Jiang will think, and it will only get worse and worse.¡± Because Zhang Qi was too fierce in the end, Senior Brother Zhang who didn¡¯t want to mind her at first, decided to take care of her in the end too. He immediately took Senior Sister Jiang¡¯s hand and told her: ¡°This junior sister envies you for being liked by boys.¡± Senior sister Jiang¡¯s face changed color on the spot. But senior brother Zhang turned his head and said to Zhang Qi: ¡°You don¡¯t need to be envious. It¡¯s natural to be envious of this kind of thing. Some people, like Jiang Ya, are attractive and beautiful. What can you do about it? It¡¯s useless for you to be envious.¡± ¡°You don¡¯t have to feel sorry for me. It¡¯s not that I¡¯m uneasy when I come to pick her up. I just want to stay with her for a while. I¡¯m too busy studying. If I can squeeze even a minute to be together with her, it¡¯s still a minute and I have to race against time. Besides, if you have time to feel sorry for other people¡¯s boyfriends, it¡¯s better to use this time on yourself and reflect on why you can¡¯t be as likable as others?¡± ¡°No matter what the situation is, as long as the reason can be found, there is always a way to improve it. If you are ugly, you can wear makeup or have a plastic surgery. If you have a bad personality, you can learn more from Jiang Ya. In fact, as long as you are willing to work hard, you will always get better slowly.¡± ¡°Then Senior Brother Zhang and Senior Sister Jiang walked hand in hand.¡± Qian Wei laughed so hard, ¡°Zhang Qi was stunned. The others who were on the side ate a big meal of dog food for Senior Brother Zhang. You shouldn¡¯t ask for leave. Look at you. If you ask for this leave in 10,000 years, you will miss a good show!¡± Yue Song laughed as well, shook his head and said, ¡°Senior Brother Zhang¡¯s mouth is so poisonous that even I am afraid of it. Zhang Qi is really fearless.¡± The two laughed again. Qian Wei said, ¡°I¡¯ll tell you something again. I heard them say that Zhang Qi and Senior Sister Jiang had a disagreement because of you.¡± This is really a pot from the sky. Yue Song asked speechlessly, ¡°Who are they?¡± ¡°Just Du Sisi, Ma Yuejuan, and a few others.¡± Qian Wei said, ¡°According to what they said, when they recruited new recruits last year, you took them as the new freshman officers. Then you praised Senior Sister Jiang hard, and Zhang Qi saw that Senior Sister Jiang was not pleasing to the eye, so she always said sour words to Senior Sister from then on.¡± Yue Song is not a person who makes people buckle the pot casually. He said, ¡°I did praise Senior Sister Jiang, but you agreed with everything I said at the time, right? Because what I said was the objective truth, and I was really just talking about things at the time, that lecture could be done because Senior Sister Jiang ran it all by herself. She did a good job, why can¡¯t I praise her?¡± ¡°Moreover, she is not the only one who heard me praise Senior Sister Jiang. Why is she the only one who can¡¯t get along with Senior Sister Jiang? So, the problem is not with me at all, but with Zhang Qi.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t you understand?¡± Qian Wei said, ¡°Zhang Qi already had a crush on you at the time.¡± Yue Song has a handsome appearance and a clear temperament. He is a grass-level figure at the K University. Zhang Qi, a girl, fell in love with Yue Song as soon as she entered the student union, and everyone knew it. However, Zhang Qi was very reserved and did not take the initiative to pursue Yue Song like some other girls, but secretly looked for various opportunities to brush her sense of existence in front of Yue Song. ¡°She is too proud of herself. If she really likes you, why didn¡¯t she chase you? It¡¯s not that there are no girls chasing you openly. She just can¡¯t pull her face down. After all, she is a big lady, so she might want you to chase her instead. If you always praise Senior Sister Jiang, of course she will be sour.¡± Qian Wei analyzed it seriously. Yue Song rubbed his chin: ¡°Then you can¡¯t blame me.¡± ¡°I don¡¯t blame you. I¡¯m not blaming you. I just want to remind you.¡± Qian Wei said, ¡°That girl is a sea king and the few who pursue her, as long as the conditions are not too bad, she did not explicitly refuse them. The day before yesterday, someone saw her and the rich second generation, who drove a Ferrari, went to lunch outside the school at noon. You can stay awake, don¡¯t look at her being rich and beautiful, but her brain is damaged. Don¡¯t bring her back and tell us: This is my girlfriend, call her sister-in-law. I¡¯m telling you that if you are going to be good with her, then we can no longer be brothers.¡± Yue Song smiled and kicked him: ¡°What are you saying? Get lost! If you don¡¯t want me to do it, then I won¡¯t do it.¡± He smiled and made noises with his roommates in the dormitory, with a relaxed posture and brisk eyebrows. If his cousin Xue Xintong saw this, she wouldn¡¯t say that he was ¡°like an old man¡±. By July, all activities of the student union were reduced, and preparations for the final exam were all started. After the last meeting, Zhang Qi suddenly sent out a birthday invitation to the people in their department: ¡°¡­It¡¯s the third day after our final exam. Now I¡¯m afraid that you will go home as soon as you finish the exam. I hope everyone can come if they have time.¡± She also glanced at Yue Song in particular. Yue Song only smiled slightly, noncommittal. A few people who usually follow Zhang Qi yelled: ¡°I will go! I¡¯ll be sure to go!¡± Senior sister Jiang turned a deaf ear, packed her things and left first. Yue Song and Qian Wei also walked out. Zhang Qi didn¡¯t have that deep determination in the end, seeing that Yue Song left without making a statement, she couldn¡¯t help but feel anxious. It was just that she was surrounded by a few people asking about the birthday party and couldn¡¯t get rid of them, so she could only watch them leave. After she got rid of these people and after thinking about it, she decided to invite Yue Song alone to show solemnity. Yue Song was hoisted downstairs by the aunt in the lodge area with a loudspeaker. He saw Zhang Qi, listened to her intentions, and originally planned to refuse. But Zhang Qi said: ¡°Come and play if you have time. They are all young people, mainly from our university, some of my middle school classmates, and then my cousins. The ages are not very different, they are all of the same age.¡± Yue Song¡¯s heart suddenly moved. If her cousins will come, what about her younger paternal cousin? CH 108 Yue Song went back to the dormitory and told Qian Wei: ¡°I promised Zhang Qi to go to her birthday party.¡± ¡°F*ck, what?¡± Qian Wei poked his head out of the bed, ¡°Why¡­oh! I see, it was Zhang Qi who came to you just now, right?¡± Yue Song thought that Qian Wei would be upset, but Qian Wei thought for a while and said, ¡°Then I will go too.¡± Yue Song was surprised: ¡°Don¡¯t you hate her the most?¡± ¡°A rich young lady who drives a sports car to school,¡± Qian Wei said, ¡°I want to see what a rich man¡¯s home is like? I guess this will be the only opportunity in my life.¡± Yue Song laughed. ¡°But we have to prepare a birthday gift, right? Such a loss.¡± Qian Wei planned carefully, ¡°No, I have to eat a lot when I go there, and I have to eat again before I get back!¡± He was distressed again: ¡°Hey, tell me, what are you going to prepare for her birthday gift?¡± Yue Song said, ¡°Let¡¯s ask the others. It¡¯s better to put the money together and buy a gift together.¡± ¡°You really have a fast brain!¡± Qian Wei patted the bed, ¡°I was just thinking about it and I can only give up to 100 yuan. No matter how much it is, I¡¯m still worried about what I can buy. After all, her family is rich, and we can¡¯t be too shabby to be looked down upon.¡± Qian Wei is not the only one who is worried about the birthday gift. Basically, everyone who has been invited from the student union is worried about this. Usually, these students give each other birthday gifts. More than 100 yuan is expensive, but usually dozens of yuan can be dispensed. But Zhang Qi is a big lady who drives a sports car and carries a C bag. Everyone knows that it is absolutely impossible to give her a gift of more than a hundred yuan quickly. Qian Wei mentioned it to others, and everyone responded to the call and decided to put the money together. After discussing it, they adopted a girl¡¯s suggestion to buy a gift box of big-brand cosmetics for Zhang Qi. After this estimate, it should be less than 200-yuan contribution per person. Yue Song also shared it with everyone. Qian Wei has always felt distressed: ¡°I have lost, I have lost, it is too expensive!¡± Yue Song comforted him: ¡°Don¡¯t worry, you will eat this money back.¡± Everyone did not pay much attention to this matter, and dealt with the final exam first. After the exam, the two girls took the money raised by everyone to buy the cosmetic gift box. On the third day after the exam, everyone followed the address given by Zhang Qi to attend her birthday party. Although they knew Zhang Qi¡¯s house must be a mansion before going there, they were still shocked when they got there. Even the very expensive cosmetic gift box they bought still feels that it is not so good. Sure enough, Zhang Qi only said ¡°thank you¡± politely when she accepted the gift, and put it aside without taking it seriously. Zhang Qi smiled and let everyone feel at ease, but her gaze turned on Yue Song. Yue Song was wearing the same plaid shirt as Qian Wei. Zhang Qi knew this shirt because he was laughed at by the girls in the student union ¡ª it was bought by Yue Song¡¯s dormitory and the two dormitories next door. One piece is only a few tens of dollars, a standard plaid, and a proper otaku shirt. But it is such a bargain, and it can be worn by Yue Song on his body, and it feels good to wear it. He has the face of a celebrity, has a hanger figure, and even his burlap bag looks fashionable. Luxurious mansion, uniformed aunts, sumptuous self-service drinks, snacks, fruit plates¡­ the students could not help being very cautious. Even Qian Wei, the person who snorted when he mentioned Zhang Qi, didn¡¯t know where to put his hands and feet. When Zhang Qi¡¯s mother came out to meet with everyone, they all became more cautious. Zhang Qi¡¯s mother is a bejeweled lady, and she is very well-maintained at first glance. But she greeted everyone with a smile, and everyone just felt that she didn¡¯t see them in her eyes, and they felt that the smile in her eyes was a bit cold. With a little disdain and contempt, she didn¡¯t even bother to cover up and hide it. She came out to say hello purely to show her existence and upbringing. It was not only a few people from the student union who came to celebrate Zhang Qi¡¯s birthday, but also her three suitors. Zhang Qi¡¯s mother only talked to them alone with a few words. These three suitors are all from good families and can be called rich second-generation people. Looking at Zhang Qi¡¯s mother¡¯s appearance, she obviously knew of their existence. Then, the lady smiled and said, ¡°Feel at home and have fun.¡± Before she left, she casually glanced over Yue Song, who was wearing the same plaid shirt as Qian Wei, and turned upstairs. Yue Song observed her for a while when she first appeared. He had seen a lot of such arrogant ladies, and it was nothing unusual. It¡¯s just a bit strange why such a mother would teach Zhang Qi such a character. Zhang Qi is rich and beautiful and she should obviously be a proud lady like her mother. But in fact, what Yue Song saw from her different attitude towards senior sister Jiang, her preference for being surrounded by others, and many other small details, was the lack of confidence in her bones. Eagerly want to overwhelm others and seek recognition. She didn¡¯t have the pride of being spoiled as a real rich young lady. When Zhang Qi¡¯s mother greeted everyone separately, Yue Song observed that it was easy to distinguish several groups of people, which are high school classmates and children of their family friends. There is a girl and two boys who are more special, and the three of them are obviously younger than the others. Moreover, they were very affectionate with Zhang Qi¡¯s mother, calling her ¡°auntie¡±, so he knew that they were Zhang Qi¡¯s cousins. What about her younger female paternal cousin? Where is Zhang Yanyan? By the time lunch started, Yue Song understood that Zhang Yanyan would probably not arrive. In theory, everyone thinks that the same surname is a family. But for Zhang Qi¡¯s birthday, she invited her maternal aunt¡¯s younger children, but did not call her paternal cousin. It can be seen that she is closer to her maternal relatives. This means that her relationship with Zhang Yanyan is not very good, right? The lunch is also a luxurious and sumptuous buffet, and a team of professional party chefs was invited. Before Qian Wei came, he clamored that he must eat a lot to get his capital back, but when the time came, he couldn¡¯t let go of his hands and feet, and he ate much more gracefully than usual. According to Zhang Qi, there are still some arrangements after the meal, some multiplayer games or something. But Yue Song was no longer interested, and he planned to leave after lunch. He went to the bathroom, and when he was about to go back to the dining room, he passed by a small living room. He glanced at it accidentally, and was suddenly attracted by a picture on the wall. There is a western-style fireplace in that hall, and a family portrait hangs on the wall above the fireplace. The two sons took their wives and children and surrounded an aristocratic old lady. Needless to say, this old lady must be Madam Song Lanying, the current head of the Zhang family. The Yue family has no relationship with the Zhang family, but old man Yue has also heard of this old lady Song. She is the number one among several powerful women in this city. The old lady was sitting on a chaise longue, and sitting on her left side was the lady just now, Zhang Qi¡¯s mother. Then the lady on her right side should theoretically be another daughter-in-law. It¡¯s just that this woman is so thin, why is she so thin? Yue Song remembered that his cousin, Xue Xintong, once told him that Zhang Yanyan¡¯s mother passed away a few years ago. Looking at the appearance in this photo, she should have died of illness. Zhang Qi in the photo is much younger than she is now, and she was still a young girl standing next to her mother, standing meticulously. The other little girl was also sitting on the chaise longue, snuggling up to the bony woman. The three men of Zhang¡¯s family are all standing behind. Seeing that there is also a prosperous family and an influential big family, if his grandfather sees it, he will definitely be envious. The Yue family has been single-passed for three generations. ¡°Yue Song!¡± Zhang Qi suddenly appeared at the entrance of the hall, smiling, ¡°I was wondering why didn¡¯t I see you there, you¡¯re just here.¡± ¡°Ah, sorry.¡± Yue Song apologized for entering the hall without permission. At first glance, this is the space used by her family, not for entertaining guests, ¡°I can¡¯t help but come in and take a look when I see this.¡± Zhang Qi was very happy to have the opportunity to talk to Yue Song alone. She walked over and glanced at her, and said, ¡°It¡¯s our family portrait from a few years ago. That was my aunt and she had passed away.¡± Sure enough, it was the same as he had guessed. Yue Song didn¡¯t know that the Zhang family took family portraits every year. But because Zhao Lanfen couldn¡¯t look up to Liang Yingying, Zhang Yu¡¯s family kept the last photo with Zhang Yansheng¡¯s mother and did not replace it with a new family portrait. The old lady¡¯s place and Zhang Huan¡¯s house were replaced with new ones for Zhang Heling and Zhang Shuocheng. Yue Song looked at the little girl in the photo snuggling intimately with her slender mother, and asked, ¡°This child is¡­?¡± ¡°Oh, this is my cousin, Zhang Yansheng.¡± Zhang Qi exclaimed in a compassionate voice, ¡°She lost her mother at a young age, which is pitiful.¡± Yue Song turned his head and asked somewhat unexpectedly, ¡°What about Zhang Yanyan?¡± ¡°Zhang Yansheng.¡± Zhang Qi wondered why he was so interested in an elementary school student in the photo, ¡°Yan like wild goose and Sheng for sound.¡± Yansheng? The male and female geese are matched. If they are lonely, the remaining one will not find a partner until they die. Since ancient times, it has symbolized unwavering faith. He really admires his cousin, a girl with a temperament like her, how could his cousin make up a cheesy name like ¡®Zhang Yanyan¡¯ to match her? Yue Song closed his open mouth, nodded and said: ¡°Good name.¡± Zhang Qi¡¯s compassion disappeared, and she said reluctantly: ¡°Well, yes.¡± Yue Song stopped talking, and looked at the little girl in the photo again. It could be seen from those eyebrows that it was her. She has been so good-looking since she was a child. But unlike herself now after growing up, the girl who was nestling next to her mother had very gentle eyes. At first glance, you can see that she was a soft and warm girl. Yue Song remembered Zhang Yansheng¡¯s bright and cold face, the corners of her unsmiling mouth, and her cold eyes.¡­¡­ There was a slight wave in his heart, and a touch of pity appeared. Back at the dining hall, Yue Song told Qian Wei that he planned to leave after lunch, and asked Qian Wei if he wanted to go back together. Qian Wei didn¡¯t want to leave yet: ¡°I want to stay for a while. There may not be any opportunities in the future to have this experience!¡± Yue Song sent a text message and waited for everyone to have lunch and moved to the meeting hall. He waited for a while, and when he received a response to his text message, he got up and said goodbye to Zhang Qi ¨C old man Yue actually wanted him to go to the company today. He has already lost all morning time for Zhang Qi, and it is not worth continuing to spend more time there. Of course, Zhang Qi wanted to keep him, but Yue Song refused: ¡°I still have something to do at home.¡± A rich second-generation suitor of Zhang Qi spoke: ¡°What matter can be more important than Zhang Qi¡¯s birthday?! You¡¯re being rude! Come on!¡± Yue Song kept a low profile in college so that his college life could be unaffected by his family background and interact with his classmates normally. It wasn¡¯t for being shaken. His cold star-like eyes glanced over, and the rich second-generation suitor paused, his momentum obviously shrank from this cold glance. He immediately felt ashamed. However, looking at the cheap plaid shirt on Yue Song, he felt confident again and wanted to talk again. Zhang Qi stopped him and asked Yue Song: ¡°You said there¡¯s something wrong at your home?¡± She said to Yue Song tenderly and empathetically: ¡°Are you in a hurry? I¡¯ll ask our driver to send you back.¡± Yue Song smiled and refused: ¡°No, I have already called a car.¡± Zhang Qi went to the door to send Yue Song off, but she didn¡¯t see the car called by Yue Song. Yue Song left Zhang Qi¡¯s home and kept walking until he disappeared. The rich second-generation suitor sneered: ¡°Where is the car he called? He¡¯s obviously going to take a bus, right?¡± CH 109 Zhang Qi¡¯s house is located in a villa district and taking a bus is very inconvenient, the nearest stop is quite far away. The students from K University came here by taxi together and shared the fare. Zhang Qi sighed slightly in her heart and said, ¡°Don¡¯t keep talking nonsense.¡± ¡°What nonsense am I talking about?¡± The rich second-generation suitor followed her and walked into the house, sneered and said: ¡°He must be reluctant to spend money.¡± Zhang Qi felt unhappy when she heard this, so she walked in quickly. She arranged a lot of programs, everyone participated in the games together, and there were prizes. The atmosphere of the party was very lively. When Zhang Qi turned her eyes, she suddenly saw Zhao Lanfen¡¯s figure at the entrance of the hall, who lifted her chin towards her. Zhang Qi understood and stood up: ¡°I¡¯m going to the bathroom.¡± After leaving the hall, Zhao Lanfen was already waiting for her in the living room. ¡°The one you like left already?¡± Zhao Lanfen asked. Zhang Qi lowered her head slightly and let out a ¡®hmm¡¯. Zhao Lanfen¡¯s voice was decisive and she directly pronounced the death penalty: ¡°That won¡¯t work! Why do you like him? I checked him all over, isn¡¯t his cellphone the most valuable thing in his body?¡± ¡°But¡­¡± Zhang Qi tried her best to fight for herself, ¡°Senior Brother Yue has excellent grades and is also very capable¡­¡± ¡°So what?¡± Zhao Lanfen disdainfully said, ¡°I have seen a lot of talented people. Isn¡¯t he also very cold and aloof to you, not attracted by your family background? Not impressed by your financial resources at all?¡± Aloofness can¡¯t be talked about, but coldness is true. Zhang Qi was speechless. When Zhao Lanfen saw it, she became even more disdainful: ¡°This kind of phoenix man from the poor family is always like this. He deliberately wants to show you a high and cold face to make him different. You are used to being praised by others. If you meet such a person occasionally, who looks better, you will find him special. In fact, in my heart, I bet he can¡¯t wait to marry you right away and trap a rich and beautiful lady like you!¡± ¡°I¡¯m telling you, the most important thing for people like ours is to be right.¡± Zhao Lanfen said, ¡°Those soft farmers and fishermen, let them go as far as they can go. Just look at Liang Yingying¡¯s virtues, how much stronger do you think your uncle is than her? It¡¯s just Liang Yingying whose status has been changed. When you meet this kind of person, you can put on some airs. You are still young anyway, so it is not impossible to play. It is okay to give a little money and have fun.¡± ¡°But you have to be clear-headed and don¡¯t let the phoenix man play with you and get you pregnant, so you can get married afterwards. If you dare to play this game for me, I will ask someone to break his leg first, and then beat the child to death. Just remember that if he wants to use this to entrap our family, it is all in his dream.¡± Zhang Qi¡¯s face flushed slightly: ¡°Mom, what are you talking about? Senior Brother Yue and I are ordinary schoolmates.¡± Zhao Lanfen snorted, ¡°I¡¯m just giving you a heads-up in advance. You¡¯re not too young anymore, so you should look for someone else. I think the boy who drives a Maserati is not bad. I asked and found out that their family owns the Luo Ming Electronics. I just went upstairs to check it and learned that they actually relied on wiring boards back then. It¡¯s not a bad start and it can barely be regarded as a good thing¡­ Zhang Qi was slightly angry: ¡°Mom¨C¡± ¡°Okay, okay, today is your birthday and I won¡¯t talk about it anymore, just know it in your heart.¡± Zhao Lanfen emphasized, ¡°If you are serious, anyway, that plaid shirt won¡¯t work! Did you hear that? Don¡¯t look at him as handsome because you will get dizzy!¡± Zhang Qi bit her lip lightly, and after a while, she said, ¡°I understand. I know it in my heart.¡± Zhao Lanfen nodded: ¡°As long as you understand.¡± Zhao Lanfen went upstairs. Zhang Qi felt uncomfortable in the small hall alone for a while. But thinking that Yue Song looked as clear as pine, who couldn¡¯t even bear to take a taxi. After imagining the appearance of him squeezing in the bus, it does seem that his beauty has also faded a lot. It is impossible for her mother to allow her to raise a pretty boy. She doesn¡¯t like a man who is living off a woman as well. Thinking about it this way, in the end, she sighed and gave up. Back in the hall, with a smile on her face, she seemed to be much gentler to the rich second generation who is pursuing her. But Zhao Lanfen, Zhang Qi, and the rich second-generation suitor didn¡¯t know that Yue Song did really call a car, he called his own car. He walked a little further by foot, and when he reached a place that could not be directly seen from the Zhang family, he stayed there for a while. Soon, a black car stopped beside him. The driver got out of the car and opened the car door for him: ¡°The chairman said, you can go back quickly, so you can catch up with the client group from the United States for a meeting in the afternoon. The clothes are put in the back seat for you.¡± Yue Song nodded, got into the car, and as soon as the door closed, he began to unbutton his shirt. The car drove to the group headquarters building of Yue¡¯s family, and the driver got out of the car and opened the door. One step at a time, it was no longer sports shoes that stepped on the ground, but shiny black leather shoes. The shirt was snow-white, the high-end western clothes were crisp, and the million-level watch on the wrist shone against the sun. The handsome young man has deep eyes and a natural temperament. This is the future heir personally taught by Chairman Yue since he was a child. Yue Song walked into the lobby, and the three front desk ladies at the headquarters immediately stood up and bowed slightly: ¡°Young Master Yue.¡± Yue Song nodded. Yue Song is still young, has not formally held any positions in the group, and has not entered too many social situations. While studying with peace of mind, he is studying different things in the Xue family and Yue family. Therefore, not many outsiders know him, but there are no people in the Yue family group headquarters building who don¡¯t know him. Stepping out of the elevator dedicated to the chairman of the board and walking to the meeting room, people kept greeting him respectfully along the way. ¡°Young Master Yue.¡± ¡°Young Master Yue, good afternoon.¡± ¡°Young Master Yue, the chairman is already waiting for you, and the client has just arrived.¡± Yue Song clung to his feet and took the folder handed over by the secretary. Without stopping, he said ¡®thank you¡¯, stepped forward steadily, opened the door of the meeting room and went in. The tall and upright figure disappeared, and the two young female employees who were mobilized outside to take charge of the coffee break exhaled a long breath and exclaimed, ¡°So handsome!¡± ¡°The live-action version of a noble son!¡± The secretary pursed her lips and smiled: ¡°Don¡¯t even think about it, he is several years younger than you, and he is still a college student.¡± The young female employees were hit hard: ¡°Ahh¨C¡± ¡­¡­ Zhang Yansheng didn¡¯t know anything about what happened on the birthday of her cousin, Zhang Qi. Because the final exams of high school students are later than those of college students, Zhang Yansheng is still struggling with the final review! She is in a different class from Xu Lichen and they hardly speak much in school. Only occasionally, when passing by, they would glance at each other. It¡¯s not that she deliberately pretends to be estranged. For her, it doesn¡¯t rely on chatting and being together every day to show your friendship. And at school, she really doesn¡¯t have the free time to chat across classes. But at the end of the semester, she felt that she couldn¡¯t study hard by herself, so she sent a message to Xu Lichen: ¡°If you fall back to Class 8, don¡¯t say that you know me.¡± Xu Lichen replied: ¡°Don¡¯t underestimate me!¡± Zhang Yansheng here is struggling to review, and Xu Lichen over there is not relaxed either. Since entering Class 5, Xu Lichen knew that he had fallen into a big pit. In this pit, he can hardly help himself! From start to end of class, the class leaders + the first place in the class, everyone is learning all the time! If you find time to talk to someone in the class, you have to be ¡°booed¡± by the people around you. What¡¯s even more terrifying is that humans are a social animal and would instinctively seek assimilation. So, when everyone else is studying and you are not learning by yourself, Xu Lichen finds that he will experience adverse symptoms such as panic attacks, shortness of breath, and chest tightness. And these undesirable symptoms, as long as you spread out the book and start brushing up on the questions, you won¡¯t need medicine to heal yourself! Xu Lichen knew in his heart that this was a coercion! He was held hostage by this class! Coerced by these ¡®good students¡¯! But he can¡¯t help it! He has to study and study, you¡¯re no good if you don¡¯t learn! He doesn¡¯t have much time to play games now. Friends and dogs usually want to call him out, sing karaoke and drink, but they basically can¡¯t call him out now. In the eyes of his old friends, it was as if he had been reborn and changed. It¡¯s hard to tell. While Xu Lichen thought viciously, ¡®I have to go back to Class 8¡¯, he will be then forced to review in order not to be despised by Zhang Yansheng. When the final exam was finally finished at the end of the semester, he collapsed directly on the table! The school tyrant in front of him turned his head and pushed his glasses: ¡°Are you all done? No more questions?¡± Xu Lichen has received a lot of help from this glasses brother this semester, and he is already a close friend of him. He struggled as if he had shed layers of skin, and viciously pinched the brother glasses¡¯ neck: ¡°It¡¯s done, it¡¯s done! Don¡¯t ask any more questions after finishing the exam! I forgot all about it after the exam! I just want to go surfing in Hawaii now! Diving in the Maldives! Skiing in the Alps!¡± ¡°Let me go, let me go!¡± The glasses brother frantically shook his hand, ¡°Let go of me, I¡¯m going to die!¡± The classmates laughed loudly, put aside the weight of study, and discussed where to go, what to do, and what to eat after the exam. This semester, they all finally got through it. There are still 700+ days before the college entrance examination, but they can relax a little during the summer vacation. After two days, the final exam results and new rankings came out, and the students in each class were adjusted. Some are promoted and some are dropped. Zhang Yansheng looked at her own ranking first. Under the guidance of two excellent teachers, her math and physics no longer hindered her, and her grades improved a lot. It¡¯s already above the middle level in the class. The money was not spent in vain, and the time and energy were not spent in vain. She searched for Xu Lichen again¡­ Huh? Has his overall ranking actually improved? Sure enough, if people change their environment, their situation will change for the better! Jumping out of Class 8, it¡¯s impossible to be the same idiot he used to be in this life, right? The corners of Zhang Yansheng¡¯s mouth curled up. After reading his results, her eyes went up again, looked for the top ranking, and quickly found the future champion. He is really indifferent. He has never made any ¡®leaps and bounds¡¯, but he has passed the exams one after another, moving up step by step, seeing his ranking getting higher and higher. It¡¯s so stable that he can be at ease! After all the chores have been handled, they will have a holiday. Xu Lichen asked Zhang Yansheng if she wanted to go play together. Even if they are just friends, there is no need to create a situation where a lonely man and a widowed woman are working on firewood. What¡¯s more, she had nothing but money in her previous life and she had visited almost all the places worth visiting in the world. Zhang Yansheng refused. And Zhang Huan gave Liang Yingying the itinerary printed by the secretary: ¡°All arrangements are made for you, so you can take Hehe and Shuoshuo to have fun, call my secretary if you need anything, and he will solve it for you. Aunt Wang and Xiao Zhou will go with you to take good care of the children.¡± Zhang Huan was very relieved that the little wife could finally be a bit of a mother. ¡°Dad, why are you not going with us?¡± Zhang Heling asked, a little disappointed. ¡°Dad has a lot of projects in his hands, and he is very busy now.¡± Zhang Huan rubbed her head with a smile, ¡°Be a good girl, keep an eye on your brother. If he doesn¡¯t obey, call your elder sister.¡± Liang Yingying¡¯s face seemed to have eaten sh*t. CH 110 Mo Lin called Zhang Yansheng and informed her of the progress of¡¶Leaving the Solar System¡·. ¡°At present, the funds are all in place and the progress in the later stage is still guaranteed.¡± She said, ¡°The current plan is to release it during the summer vacation next year. Producer Wang is very confident about this schedule.¡± Mo Lin said confidently. However, according to Zhang Yansheng¡¯s knowledge in the previous life, the movie was bounced all the time, and it was not released until the Spring Festival the following year. So, she didn¡¯t actually believe Mo Lin¡¯s words. Of course, she didn¡¯t think that Mo Lin deliberately deceived her. The basic responsibility for delaying the release of a movie lies with the producer, and Mo Lin can¡¯t control it. She can only evaluate and then inform investors truthfully. But the ¡®unbelief¡¯ in her words was of course noticed by Mo Lin. Mo Lin couldn¡¯t say such empty words as ¡®have some confidence in me¡¯. She smiled and said, ¡°Since I met you in Shuizhen, I don¡¯t know if it was my koi that possessed me or if I have to thank your koi. Anyway, the financing went better than expected. From your K City alone, it has raised to almost 150 million.¡± Huh? ¡°From K City?¡± Zhang Yan was surprised. ¡°That¡¯s right.¡± Mo Lin said, ¡°You and Xiao Xu add up to 44 million, and I also got another investor who invested 100 million.¡± Zhang Yansheng reconfirmed: ¡°It¡¯s from our K City?¡± Mo Lin said: ¡± Yes.¡± Zhang Yansheng was really surprised. Because after this movie became popular in the previous life, the internet was full of various behind-the-scenes, various breaking news, and various analysis and commentary disputes. Zhang Yansheng probably knows several big investors in this movie. In it¡­ there is really not a single sum from K City. She asked: ¡°Which one is it?¡± Yue Song was already an investor in the movie and he did not specifically ask for confidentiality. Mo Lin told Zhang Yansheng: ¡°It¡¯s from the Qingting, do you know this business group?¡± Zhang Yansheng honestly admitted: ¡°¡­I don¡¯t know.¡± In her previous life, she had been messing around since high school, and had been messing around until she died, so she had no contact or paid attention to the business community of K City. Not every successful entrepreneur likes to show his face in the media like Xue Xintong. Many entrepreneurs and ordinary people have no idea what he looks like, what his name is, or even his existence. Mo Lin smiled. She looked at Zhang Yansheng, after all, she was just a freshman in high school. ¡°I also met him in Shuizhen. At that time, I was on crutches. Chairman Yue of Qingting Group saw it and asked me what was wrong. Later, we exchanged business cards. He is also in the business. When I came back to K City, I came to talk to him about another project, and then I just mentioned this movie, but I didn¡¯t intend to present this project, and the investment was settled at the end.¡± So, it should be the butterfly effect, right? Anyway, she didn¡¯t delay her movie financing, but it seemed to be a little smoother than in her previous life? As long as the director and producer do not change, there will be no major problem with the quality of the film. Zhang Yansheng thought for a while and felt relieved. Under Zhang Huan¡¯s instructions, Liang Yingying had to take on the responsibility of being a mother, taking the two sacred beasts, and with the assistance of Aunt Wang and Xiao Zhou, they went abroad to play. The house was very quiet. When Zhang Huan woke up in the morning, he felt that the air was very fresh. When he stretched out and walked outside, he saw Zhang Yansheng cruising in the swimming pool like a mermaid. Zhang Huan looked at her with his hands on his waist for a while, and felt that her daughter had really grown up. Now Zhang Yansheng is really the child who worries him the most. When she came ashore, he said to her: ¡°Don¡¯t stay at home all the time. Look, Qiqi and Xiao Lin have gone to play, so you should go out and play too. Are you out of money? Dad will give you some.¡± Like a Tang Monk, Zhang Yansheng was speechless: ¡°I just want to stay at home, can¡¯t I?¡± If you played too wild in your previous life, you will rebound a bit in this life. Do homework, swim, and practice boxing every day. It¡¯s a holiday now, and she goes to the boxing gym almost every day. In short, as a freshman in high school, Zhang Huan was a little surprised by her self-discipline. Zhang Huan didn¡¯t know which of the tendons was wrong, or he suddenly found it in his conscience. Anyway, somehow, his heart suddenly became hot, and he blurted out: ¡°Otherwise, let¡¯s go on a trip!¡± Zhang Yansheng was really surprised. Zhang Huan coughed and said, ¡°After thinking about it, it seems that Dad has never taken you on a trip alone.¡± It¡¯s true that there is no such thing. When she was young, it had a family of three traveling, and the photos were still there. Later, Zhang Yansheng¡¯s mother became ill and traveled in the first year for the operation, but then she relapsed and died. Zhang Huan had traveled with his three children in this life. But after her mother¡¯s death in the previous life, Zhang Yansheng never had the opportunity to travel with Zhang Huan, let alone to travel with him alone. If Zhang Huan said in the previous life that he would take Zhang Yansheng on a trip, Zhang Yansheng would probably shed tears on the spot. But when Zhang Huan said this just now, her conscience discovered that he was a lifetime late. Zhang Yansheng had neither expectations nor interest. She picked up a bath towel and wiped the water on her body: ¡°What¡¯s the point of going out with you.¡± She was actually disgusted, Zhang Huan was filled with the sadness of being an old father. Zhang Yansheng skipped this topic and asked him, ¡°Is our family familiar with the Yue family of Qingting Group?¡± ¡°I¡¯m not familiar with them and I don¡¯t know much about them either.¡± Zhang Huan asked, ¡°Why did you ask about their family?¡± Zhang Yansheng told him: ¡°Big Sister Mo told me that they invested 100 million in the movie.¡± ¡°Oh, some people have the same opinions as my daughter.¡± Zhang Huan thought for a while and said, ¡°I know Xue Xintong very well.¡± Zhang Yansheng ¡°¡­?¡± Zhang Huan looked at the expression on Zhang Yansheng¡¯s face and smiled. After all, she was still a high school student. He told her: ¡°Xue Xintong¡¯s aunt is married to the young master of Qingting Group.¡± Zhang Yansheng: ¡°¡­¡± In her previous life, she was so estranged from her relatives that she ignored them and had no contact at all. She didn¡¯t expect that she would have to figure out the relatives of other people¡¯s families in this life. Zhang Huan likes to see Zhang Yansheng¡¯s expression when she encounters her own shortcomings. He smiled and said, ¡°These relationships, you will know more about them if you have more contact with them in the future.¡± He asked again: ¡°You really don¡¯t have plans to go out and play?¡± Zhang Yansheng put on a bathrobe: ¡°Dementia in old age can be treated early.¡± ¡°Tsk.¡± Zhang Huan, who was buried in the survival of the fittest, turned his eyes and discussed with Zhang Yansheng very carefully, ¡°If you don¡¯t want to go out to play, it¡¯s better to go to the company to help your grandmother.¡± If it weren¡¯t for a rebirth, Zhang Yansheng really didn¡¯t know that there were so many selfish calculations in her father¡¯s stomach. In her previous life, she really felt that he was a rough man, busy with work and neglected her family. How stupid was she? Seeing Zhang Yansheng stopped, Zhang Huan said: ¡°You are idle anyway.¡± Zhang Yansheng played wildly in her previous life, but she has been calm in this life, and she is indeed not so interested in eating, drinking, or having fun. Zhang Huan¡¯s proposal indeed impressed her. She thought for a while and said, ¡°Okay.¡± Zhang Yansheng then went to the company. Zhang Huan had already informed the old lady, but when the old lady saw Zhang Yansheng, she still complained about her son: ¡°He¡¯s just tossing around, how can he not let his children go out to play during the summer vacation. Qiqi and Xiao Lin have gone out to play. I heard that Hehe and Shuoshuo also followed their mother to play. Why did you ask him to arrange for you to come here and mess around?¡± No matter what contradictions are in the family, Zhang Yansheng and Zhang Huan have common interests when they leave the Zhang family. So, Zhang Yansheng had to speak up for Zhang Huan. ¡°I don¡¯t want to go out to play. My dad saw that I was just staying at home, so he asked me to come to you, see how the company works, and learn something¡±, she said. ¡°He¡¯s just anxious, how old are you?¡± The old lady groaned, but then said, ¡°Actually, it¡¯s okay. Look more, listen more, don¡¯t place yourself above the common populace. I think that your uncle and aunt are being a little bit irresponsible with Xiao Lin.¡± There is not much age difference between Zhang Qi and Zhang Lin, but it is not for no reason that the old lady chose Zhang Qi as her heir in her previous life. But Zhang Yansheng was still young, and she was just a high school student who didn¡¯t understand anything. The old lady was not in a hurry. She felt that instead of taking her by her side, she might as well let her go to the grassroots level to see and listen. Zhang Yansheng was then arranged to work as an intern in a subsidiary company. There were four interns in the summer, and the other three were all college students. They asked Zhang Yansheng which university she belonged to, and Zhang Yansheng said, ¡°I am not (yet) a college student.¡± She has a calm temperament and a calm expression, which often confuses people about her age. The college students misunderstood, thinking that she had graduated from high school and was not admitted to university. They can¡¯t help but have some psychological advantages over her in terms of academic qualifications. But Zhang Yansheng is beautiful, and the two boys have a good attitude towards her, while the other girl often gives her some work to do. Zhang Yansheng was not a good person in her previous life, let alone once reborn. She followed her instructions quietly. The girl intern thought that she is very proud and useful psychologically. Of course, she feels that this beautiful girl with a high school degree is actually very easy to manipulate. Then that day, a department manager gave the girl intern the materials for the meeting and asked her to make copies. The girl took it with a smile, turned her head and threw it to Zhang Yansheng: ¡°Twenty copies of this, bound it, and give it to me before 9:50 a.m..¡± Zhang Yansheng nodded and took it. At 9:50 a.m., the girl came to Zhang Yansheng to get the materials for the meeting. Zhang Yansheng asked rhetorically: ¡°What materials?¡± ¡°?¡± The girl said, ¡°The one that Manager Li will use for the meeting later.¡± Zhang Yansheng said calmly, ¡°I don¡¯t know, I haven¡¯t seen it.¡± The girl was dumbfounded: ¡°Why haven¡¯t you seen it? The one I gave you in the morning!¡± ¡°I don¡¯t know.¡± Zhang Yansheng said, ¡°You haven¡¯t given me anything.¡± The girl was stunned by Zhang Yansheng opening her eyes and talking nonsense, and couldn¡¯t believe it. She stared at Zhang Yansheng in disbelief, her voice rising: ¡°What are you talking about, I gave it to you personally!¡± Zhang Yansheng: ¡°I don¡¯t know, I haven¡¯t seen it before, you¡¯ve got it wrong.¡± The department manager came over at this time and urged her: ¡°Where are the materials?¡± The girl immediately threw the pot, pointed to Zhang Yansheng and said, ¡°She lost the materials!¡± Department manager: ¡°?¡± Zhang Yansheng said, ¡°What materials, I don¡¯t know about them.¡± The girl was so angry that she wanted to tear Zhang Yansheng apart, pointed at her and said to the manager: ¡°I asked her to make the copies. Now she¡¯s telling me that I haven¡¯t given her the materials!¡± Zhang Yansheng said to the manager: ¡°I have been busy today, and you have not given me anything for me to make copies.¡± Department Manager: ¡°I gave it to you, Xiao Fang.¡± The girl surnamed Fang said, ¡°I gave it to her!¡± Seeing that a meeting was about to take place, the intern was still entangled, and the manager became angry and said, ¡°I gave you the copy. Why would you give it to her?¡± The girl was dumbfounded: ¡°¡­¡± Zhang Yansheng said, ¡°Who can prove that you gave it to me? I have never seen it at all.¡± The girl almost laughed at Zhang Yansheng¡¯s shamelessness. She pointed to the people around her angrily and said, ¡°Everyone has seen it! They can testify!¡± ¡°Brother Chen, Brother Xia, tell us, did I give the material to Zhang Yansheng? You were all there at the time! You should have seen it!¡±, she shouted. However, Brother Chen and Brother Xia, who were named, looked at each other in dismay, both shook their heads. ¡°I didn¡¯t pay attention.¡± ¡°I was busy in the morning and didn¡¯t see it.¡± Not to mention that everyone was originally busy with their own affairs, but they really saw it. However, to stand up now would be tantamount to getting involved in this incident. No social animal is stupid, and no one is driven by profit, and no one will find trouble for themselves in vain. What¡¯s more, compared with each other, the girl surnamed Fang is a bit eye-catching, but her work is slippery. Zhang Yansheng is beautiful and quiet, and works steadily. If you bully the pretty little girl yourself, why let us be your gunman? The girl was dumbfounded. For the first time, she felt the severe beating from the society. CH 111 Zhang Yansheng insisted that she had not received the documents, and no one was willing to testify for the girl surnamed Fang. The girl felt a major grievance and died unjustly. But the department manager is not Bao Qingtian.1°üÇàÌì ¨C Bao Qingtian, fictional nickname of Bao Zheng °üÕü[Bao1 Zheng3] (999-1062), Northern Song official renowned for his honesty He has no intention of judging this case. His face is as black as the bottom of a pot: ¡°I don¡¯t care if you gave it to her or not. I gave it to you, so I¡¯m asking you now. Where are the materials? I am going to have a meeting soon! What about the materials?¡± Some of the materials are faxed copies sent from abroad, but they are only available on paper, so they need to be copied. The girl was about to cry when she was asked by the manager in public: ¡°I¡­ I don¡¯t know, I really gave it to her.¡± The department manager became anxious, unable to control his emotions, and lost his temper. The girl couldn¡¯t bear it and cried in front of everyone. Someone came over and said, ¡°Well, I just saw something on the box next to the copier. Are these the documents you¡¯re looking for?¡± The girl and the manager went to take a look, and they turned out to be. The meeting time had already arrived, and the manager scolded the girl again in the copy room. The girl cried while twitching, while busy copying and binding. Of course, there was no doubt that the meeting was delayed. She also had endured the strange eyes of everyone in the office, and she couldn¡¯t wait to plunge her head into the floor with her head so low. Many of these eyes also turned to Zhang Yansheng. Although none of the people around them would admit that they knew that the girl surnamed Fang gave that information to Zhang Yansheng, in fact, some people did have the faint impression that the girl did give Zhang Yansheng something in the morning. Mainly because of her arrogant appearance, which is quite impressive. Then combining this memory and looking at Zhang Yansheng again, everyone¡¯s eyes are not quite right. This girl¡­¡­ It is really true, dogs that can bite don¡¯t bark! Zhang Yansheng stood still. In her previous life, she had an unorthodox image, and she would attract many strange eyes wherever she went. These sights did not put pressure on her at all, what should she do? Her majestic appearance made others¡¯ eyes even more complicated. After lunch, Zhang Yansheng was stopped by the two other intern boys. They led her to a safe passage and said to her: ¡°Be careful, Fang Xiaohan is related to someone here.¡± Zhang Yansheng: ¡°Oh?¡± The other boy said: ¡°Her relative is a high-level boss in this company. We saw her go upstairs just now, so she should be looking for that relative.¡± Zhang Yansheng looked at the two of them: ¡°So you want me to¡­?¡± The two boys looked at each other. One of them said: ¡°How about you reconcile with her?¡± The other boy said: ¡°Or perhaps you will also look for someone?¡± Zhang Yansheng clearly understood the meaning behind his words. In fact, they all came in through relationships, all the interns. The only difference is whether the relationship is far or close, and whether it is strong enough. For example, some people use their own relatives, very close and tight relationships. Some people only came in after two or three layers of relationship, which is just not strong enough. How could Fang Xiaohan, an intern, dare to dictate other people who are also interns, just because her relationship with a certain boss is strong. Zhang Yansheng, a girl who only has a high school education (big mistake), can enter the company, must be because of her relationship with someone as well. Everyone knows it in their hearts. But Fang Xiaohan was high-profile from the beginning, while Zhang Yansheng was the opposite. She was very low-key and even obedient. Everyone naturally felt that she might not have a strong relationship with the relative, so she would bow her head and admit defeat. No one expected she would dare to dig such a pit for Fang Xiaohan. Therefore, the boys used to call Zhang Yansheng with a smile and would not ¡®draw a knife to help¡¯, but now they have a new estimate of the relationship behind Zhang Yansheng, so they might as well remind her. Zhang Yansheng nodded: ¡°I understood, thank you.¡± The social animals have their own ways of survival. What happened in the morning, everyone pretended to be quiet in the afternoon, and no one showed any abnormality. It was just for the very beautiful intern surnamed Zhang, when assigning a job, the other¡¯s tone was somewhat more polite than before. However, at about 4:00 p.m., Zhang Yansheng was called upstairs. It was the vice president surnamed Wang who asked her to go to his office. As soon as she entered the office, she saw Fang Xiaohan standing behind the desk, standing next to Vice President Wang, looking at her with a grudge. Vice President Wang looked at Zhang Yansheng up and down, as if a little surprised that such a beautiful girl would be so scheming and bold. He turned the laptop over to show her: ¡°Zhang Yansheng, right? Take a look at this.¡± Oh hoh, they pulled the office surveillance records. The screen showed a few minutes of video where Fang Xiaohan handed Zhang Yansheng some documents. Then Zhang Yansheng took the documents and went to the copy room. She returned in less than two minutes, with empty hands. After the video was played, Mr. Wang leaned back and asked, ¡°What do you have to say?¡± Fang Xiaohan had an expression of relief and hatred. Zhang Yansheng raised her eyes and asked, ¡°What do you want me to say?¡± Fang Xiaohan was so angry: ¡°Uncle, look at her!¡± Zhang Yansheng¡¯s speech was not swift and slow, and her expression was not panicked. Mr. Wang was a little surprised. His niece came to him and talked about this. While he was checking the surveillance videos, he asked his boss and several other vice presidents to inquire about her. Zhang Yansheng did not have any relationship with any of them. That¡¯s nothing to be feared as well. Even if her relationship is with one of the director-level figures, President Wang is not afraid. He tapped the table with his knuckles and scolded the beautiful girl: ¡°The evidence is here! You still won¡¯t admit it?¡± Zhang Yansheng was surprised: ¡°What do you want me to admit?¡± Vice President Wang said in a deep voice: ¡°In the morning, Xiao Fang gave you the documents. You still won¡¯t admit it?¡± ¡°I admit it.¡± Zhang Yansheng said, ¡°In the morning, she gave me some documents and she asked me to destroy them, so I took them to be shredded. Now, the debris is still lying in the shredder.¡± Fang Xiaohan almost exploded with anger! This Zhang Yansheng, why does she dare to lie so much?! ¡°You are talking nonsense!¡± she said loudly. Zhang Yansheng raised her eyebrows: ¡°Why are you saying that it¡¯s nonsense? Do you have evidence?¡± Fang Xiaohan pointed to the computer: ¡°The evidence is all here, how dare you open your eyes and talk nonsense?! What I gave you this morning is obviously the information that Manager Li and the others need for the meeting!¡± Zhang Yansheng said, ¡°Sorry, but from this video, I can¡¯t really tell what kind of files you gave me. How can you tell? Do you have an electro-optical eye?¡± Fang Xiaohan was speechless and shocked by Zhang Yansheng¡¯s shamelessness. Indeed, it can only be seen from the video that she gave Zhang Yansheng some documents, but she couldn¡¯t see what document it was. The copy room downstairs, which is said to be a ¡®room¡¯, is actually a narrow aisle, with some invaluable stuff blocking one end and the other end is open. There are office items such as copiers and shredders placed inside, and there is no surveillance camera there. She really has no evidence to prove her words. ¡°What evidence do you want?! What evidence is needed?!¡± Vice President Wang patted the table angrily, ¡°Would Xiao Fang lie to me?¡± Interesting. They asked her to come because they felt they had ¡®evidence¡¯. But when the evidence was found to be inconclusive, they felt that the evidence was no longer needed. ¡°Under the premise that there is no evidence on both sides, how can you be sure that she did not lie, and how can you be sure that I lied?¡± Zhang Yansheng asked, ¡°Is it because she is your niece?¡± Vice President Wang deeply felt that his prestige had been provoked. When his niece came to him to complain, he was already very upset. It¡¯s up to the owner to beat the dog! But Manager Li, who scolded his niece and made her cry, is the backbone of the company¡¯s business and is a tough one. He can¡¯t trouble Manager Li for such a trivial matter, so he can only trouble Zhang Yansheng. He patted the table louder: ¡°Yes, so what?!¡± That is the argument and evidence, and he began to piece them together for this fight. ¡°I have never seen a little girl like you, you are too courageous!¡± Vice President Wang began to scare Zhang Yansheng, ¡°Do you know how much time has been wasted? If this project has been delayed, do you know how much money the company will lose?!¡± There will be no loss, at most the company will just not earn money. And he hasn¡¯t heard of any projects they¡¯ve lost because of the 10-minute late start in the meeting. Plus, the meeting that was held is not with a client, but an internal meeting. Zhang Yansheng said indifferently: ¡°It¡¯s not much, it¡¯s only a few million, and I can afford it.¡± Fang Xiaohan grinned: ¡°Can you afford to lose millions? Zhang Yansheng, do you think your family owned this company?¡± Zhang Yansheng glanced at her: ¡°It¡¯s not your company anyway.¡± This is too insulting. This is directly hitting Vice President Wang in the face. Vice President Wang pulled his face down, and he didn¡¯t plan to argue anymore with Zhang Yansheng, who is just a little girl. He could see that Zhang Yansheng was simply messing around. He pulled his face and asked, ¡°Tell me, who introduced you to this internship?¡± This shows his intention to take drastic measures to deal with the situation, to get rid of her. Zhang Yansheng said, ¡°It¡¯s my grandmother.¡± Her granddaughter is this old already, so how old is her grandmother? Vice President Wang wondered for a while, but he couldn¡¯t remember which woman in the company¡¯s management was so old. He asked: ¡°Who is your grandmother?¡± Fang Xiaohan said loudly, ¡°Say it, let us hear who it is?¡± Although Fang Xiaohan knew that her uncle was a vice president, who in the company would be so blind to mention ¡°Vice President X¡±, they would mention ¡°President X¡± in front of the vice presidents. Fang Xiaohan had forgotten that there were still chief executives above her uncle¡¯s head, and there was always a feeling that her uncle was ¡®very big¡¯ or even ¡®the biggest¡¯ person in the company. And she, with such an uncle, naturally has a different identity in the company. Because of such a background, she dared to walk sideways, and dared to order Zhang Yansheng, who is also an intern, to work for her or to do her job. However, the reality is cruel, once a person becomes too rampant and overdo it, he is easy to kick the iron plate. If you fight like this, you are likely to lose. She heard Zhang Yansheng say slowly, ¡°My grandmother¡¯s name is Song Lanying.¡± She was still wondering, which woman in the company¡¯s management is named Song Lanying? There seems to be no one with the surname Song, right? In a blink of an eye, she saw her uncle stunned, as if he had seen a ghost. With a ¡°zi¡± sound, Zhang Yansheng pulled the chair away and stood up. ¡°My dad¡¯s name is Zhang Huan.¡± She said to Vice President Wang, ¡°If you have been in the company long enough, you should still know my mother.¡± Fang Xiaohan was confused. She didn¡¯t even know the name Zhang Yansheng had mentioned. It seemed that there was no one with this name in the company, right? Why does her uncle seem to be sweating on his forehead? Inexplicably, she heard Zhang Yansheng say again: ¡°You got one thing right¡­¡± Fang Xiaohan looked up at her suspiciously. The beautiful girl who made her jealous said: ¡°The company is indeed owned by our family.¡± The girl¡¯s chin was slightly raised, and her eyes were full of coddling and arrogance. She has been the little princess of the family since she was born, and grew up under the careful care of her mother. Even though there have been some ups and downs later, the pride of the eldest daughter, who has been engraved in her bones since she was a child, has never been lost. CH 112 When everyone saw Zhang Yansheng being called upstairs, they all guessed that Fang Xiaohan ¡®looked for someone¡¯. But judging from what happened today, Zhang Yansheng seemed to be confident, and they didn¡¯t know who was behind her. This matter depends on who has a strong backer. Everyone glanced at each other, watched the fire from the other side, and watched the excitement. It didn¡¯t take long for Zhang Yansheng to come back, with a normal expression, as if nothing had happened. Fang Xiaohan followed her, bowing her head and her hands on her chest, her face was ashen. Just looking at their postures, the vote for knowing who was the victor and who was defeated was divided. For a while, the eyes in the office flew wildly. Some people lowered their voices in the pantry to guess who Zhang Yansheng¡¯s backer was. A working day passed so normally, and the next day, the intern named Zhang Yansheng did not come into the office. Everyone was stunned again, wondering who won and who lost. Did they guess wrong yesterday? There were people who liked to be lively, holding glasses and chatting with Fang Xiaohan, and asking if Zhang Yansheng had been fired. Fang Xiaohan vaguely responded, making everyone even more confused. But Fang Xiaohan couldn¡¯t bear this kind of pressure. After two days, she talked to her uncle and didn¡¯t come back to the office as well. Although Vice President Wang felt that this was a matter between ¡®children¡¯, so he thought that the people ¡®above¡¯ shouldn¡¯t bother him for such a matter. However, middle-aged senior workers like him are actually more afraid of unemployment than young people. At his age, the salary level of this position is really good. Once he loses his job, it is extremely difficult to find a suitable position. In fact, he really wanted to have the opportunity to apologize to Zhang Yansheng¡¯s ¡®parents¡¯, but it is a pity that he is only a vice president of a subsidiary company. At this level, he still can¡¯t reach Zhang Huan, who is known as Young Master Zhang, let alone Song Lanying, the chairman of the group. The group headquarters suddenly issued a letter asking all subsidiaries and branches to rectify their corporate culture, eliminate the bad atmosphere in the office, and clarify the scope of employees¡¯ work, so that people in every position can work with peace of mind and do their part. Vice President Wang¡¯s heart went up and down. After waiting for a few days, although he didn¡¯t see any other movement from the headquarters, he still acted as a man with his tail between his legs, trembling, and since then, he has become quite amiable to others. Zhang Yansheng went home and told Zhang Huan about what happened. This kind of small office friction won¡¯t rise to the point where you want to fight or kill. Zhang Huan didn¡¯t take it to heart and just said, ¡°If you don¡¯t like it there, change to another place.¡± He turned around and told the old lady about this and said: ¡°Look at her temper who really doesn¡¯t want to suffer a loss. Who is like this?¡± The old lady laughed, ¡°Me!¡± Zhang Huan said: ¡°This just proves that she is a child of our family. If she is really an ordinary part-time worker, she would have been overturned early if she played like this.¡± ¡°So what?¡± The old lady said, ¡°Since she was born in our family, we will turn her back even if she overturns!¡± Zhang Huan: ¡°I should just get used to her.¡± Complaining on the mouth, but happy on the face, the typical heart is not the same. Zhang Yansheng moved to a different subsidiary company. At the beginning of August, Liang Yingying returned with Zhang Heling and Zhang Shuocheng. The two little ones are full of energy. Zhang Heling¡¯s white skin has actually tanned a lot, which shows how wild she was playing outdoors every day. Liang Yingying was depressed. As soon as they came back, she was relieved, so she quickly looked for her little sisters to play cards and went to recharge. Zhang Heling has bright eyes and full energy. Although she is a little tanned, she looks very healthy. Her voice has become louder as well, completely different from the girl with a small voice and cowardice a year ago. As soon as they came back, she pestered Zhang Yansheng, and told her non-stop about what they were playing outside, what they saw, what did Zhang Shuocheng do and so on. Then, she asked: ¡°Sister, what did you do at home?¡± Zhang Yan bit the ice cream: ¡°I did my homework and went to work.¡± Hearing that Zhang Yansheng¡¯s life is so monotonous, just like her former self, Zhang Heling suddenly became uneasy, thought for a while, and said, ¡°Sister, why don¡¯t we go out to play together next time?¡± After a pause, she added: ¡°We will not take my mother.¡± Zhang Yansheng raised her eyebrows and looked at her, feeling that this silly girl has become cleverer than before. Yes, there is progress. ¡°Okay.¡± She promised, ¡°Definitely, next time.¡± Zhang Heling breathed a sigh of relief, and asked again, ¡°Sister, what are you doing at work? Is it interesting?¡± ¡°Interesting.¡± Zhang Yansheng bit the ice cream and said, ¡°It¡¯s interesting to see the society so dangerous and the hearts of the people so unpredictable.¡± Zhang Heling: ¡°?¡± Zhang Yansheng handed her the ice cream stick: ¡°Here.¡± Zhang Heling took the ice cream stick and ran to the trash can. ¡­¡­ Yue Song traveled for a month, returned to K City, rested at home for a day, played games, and watched videos. He noticed that there are new videos of Zhang Yansheng posted. The background seems to be in the school. A boy was arguing with a girl, and suddenly he raised his hand and wanted to hit her. The girl held her head in fright. Suddenly, a hand reached out and caught the boy¡¯s wrist. Immediately afterwards, Zhang Yansheng entered the view. With a twist, she wrung the boy¡¯s arm and held him down. Then she lifted her leg and kicked the boy away, blocking the girl in front of him. The slow motion started there, and the BGM sounded. The girl hugged her from behind, buried her face in her back, as if she had found a support. Zhang Yansheng glanced back slightly, then turned her head back, and made a thumbs-down gesture to the camera, froze the frame, and ended the video. Yue Song: ¡°¡­¡± A person like Yue Song who was calm and self-sufficient couldn¡¯t help but cover his eyes and laugh with a ¡®puff¡¯. The acting skills of high school students are too fake and they are really uncontrollable. The expressions and movements of boys and girls are too exaggerated. Zhang Yansheng¡¯s face was cold which can still be seen. Yue Song felt that she didn¡¯t seem very happy. Looking through the tidbits and videos, she was indeed surrounded by a group of girls begging (forcing) and demanding (forcing). ¡°Let¡¯s shoot, let¡¯s shoot a video!¡± ¡°The final exam is finally over, so let¡¯s relax!¡± ¡°Please~~~~you!¡± She seems to be a person who doesn¡¯t talk much, as you can tell from those tidbits. And obviously, she couldn¡¯t bear the other girls being so coquettish and cheating. So, she was very helpless, and cooperated with the shoot with a stinky face. Compared to the main video, the backstory is more interesting. It can be faintly seen that she is a cold-faced and soft-faced person. Otherwise, how could those girls not be afraid of her, but be close to her instead. Yue Song watched them so many times, with a smile on the corner of his mouth. ¡­¡­ Xu Lichen finally came back crazy a week before the start of the school. As soon as he came back, he asked Zhang Yansheng for an appointment. This made Zhang Yansheng unhappy, so she beat this kid up in the training ground. Xu Lichen fell on the ground and groaned: ¡°Zhang Yansheng, did you grow up taking Dali pills?¡±1´óÁ¦Íè ¨C Dali Pills ¨C A kind of pill promoted by martial arts and buskers in the arena, which is known to strengthen the bones and strengthen the vigor. Zhang Yansheng slammed her two fists together covered with gloves: ¡°Cut the nonsense, get up!¡± However, Zhang Yansheng was actually aware of Xu Lichen¡¯s emotions. She guessed about something, but she didn¡¯t ask Xu Lichen directly. She went home and asked Zhang Huan instead. Sure enough, Zhang Huan also paid attention to this relatively well-known gossip in the K City business community. Especially if the other party might be his future in-laws, he is even more concerned. When Zhang Yansheng asked about it, he told her in a heavy tone: ¡°I know you will be upset once you hear it, but as a responsible father, I still want to tell you that I still disagree with this matter!¡± Zhang Yansheng: ¡°¡­what¡¯s the matter?¡± Zhang Huan: ¡°About you and Xiao Xu.¡± Zhang Yansheng: ¡°?¡± ¡°Before you marry a husband, you must look at his parents first.¡± Zhang Huan said earnestly, ¡°Look at his parents making a fuss. It¡¯s just so ruthless. Anyway, if a husband and wife have a fight, even if they can¡¯t settle it to the end, they wouldn¡¯t have to use a white knife to get in and a red knife to get out, right? Dad is telling you that I would rather find you someone who is a little bit soft-hearted, even if he is a little bit indiscriminate, than someone who looks affectionate and turns his face mercilessly. If a father is like this, then his son is not much better.¡± He resolutely said: ¡°Yanyan, Dad really disagrees!¡± ¡°¡­One of the symptoms of Alzheimer¡¯s disease is having subjective ideas.¡± Zhang Yansheng said, ¡°Where can you say that Xu Lichen and I have a relationship beyond ordinary classmates?¡± In fact, what Zhang Huan said was not unreasonable in itself. But considering the character of the speaker himself and the various deeds he has done¡­ Zhang Yansheng would rather listen to the aunts at home talking about the moral values brought from the countryside than to Zhang Huan to instill in her the philosophy of life. Zhang Huan still wanted to speak, but Zhang Yansheng said, ¡°I don¡¯t want to listen to your nonsense. Just tell me what happened to my classmates¡¯ parents recently.¡± Zhang Huan grunted and said, ¡°What else is going on, it was so chaotic. The couple used to love showing their kindness and affection the most. This time, they became hostile to each other and it was such a great show, like martial arts!¡± It¡¯s all about breaking the safe and rushing to the office, which is similar to what Zhang Yansheng knew in her previous life. Zhang Yansheng was silent. Because at this stage, no one can help Xu Lichen. On this kind of day in his life, he can only survive on his own. In fact, even until the two of them separated after graduating from high school, his parents were not able to divorce and were still married. Coercion, aggression, and property competition have always been in progress. Fortunately, school started soon. At Yi High School, the evening self-study starts in the second year of high school. The school closes at 8:40 in the evening. The second-year students were busy from morning to night. In contrast, the freshman year of high school was really leisurely at that time. More students began to rent houses in the nearby Dongfeng Dongli area, just to save commuting time and to have more sleep at night. One day after returning home from school, after hearing the new deeds of the Xu couple from Zhang Huan, Zhang Yansheng carried her schoolbag upstairs and sent a voice message to Xu Lichen: ¡°When you are unhappy, just brush up some questions. There is nothing to worry about, but a set of papers can¡¯t be driven away. If you¡¯re done, then just brush another set.¡± Xu Lichen turned on his cellphone to look at her message, he could not help but curse: ¡°My ass!¡± He swore again: ¡°Preposterous!¡± But the person who was telling this nonsense was reliable and trustworthy. Xu Lichen looked at the cigarette butts stuffed in the ashtray on the coffee table in front of him, pressed out the cigarette in his hand, and really sat down at the desk to brush the questions. He wouldn¡¯t say it, but slowly, the depression in his heart was really suppressed. All he has in his mind now are formulas and theorems. Those formulas and theorems seem cumbersome, and those difficult questions are complicated, but compared with the adult world, they are after all simple and clear, which makes people feel at ease. After solving some questions, he looked at his phone and found that someone sent him a message: ¡°Brother Chen, I found a suitable person from Yinghua Experimental High School. The other party agreed to help, just for a thousand yuan.¡± Xu Lichen moved his finger and transferred 2,000 yuan. ¡°Thanks, Brother Chen!¡± The sender replied, ¡°Leave this matter to me! You just wait!¡± Xu Lichen pushed the desk and the chair slid back. He tilted his feet on the table and lit a cigarette again¡­ A few days later, two boys suddenly clashed at Yinghua Experimental High School. One of them is Xu Mulin, who is known as one of the excellent students of the school. Xu Mulin has a superior family background and is also a polite person. He has always been known as a ¡®noble son¡¯ at Yinghua Experimental High School. The conflict on that day was provoked by the other boy first. Although Xu Mulin has always shown people with a gentle image, after all, he is also a 16- or 17-year-old boy, so he also raised his hands, which aroused a lot of people¡¯s onlookers. When the others successfully pulled the two boys apart, the boy who provoked first suddenly shouted in front of so many onlookers: ¡°Pretending to be a rich second generation, you are only an illegitimate child!¡± ¡°Your mother is a mistress raised by someone¡¯s husband!¡± ¡°You are a child of a mistress!¡± The shocked glances of the classmates were cast in unison, and after a moment of silence, they began to whisper in each other¡¯s ears. And Xu Mulin, who originally felt that he hadn¡¯t lost his reason, froze on the spot. It¡¯s like a person who has been skinned alive. CH 113 What is life like as it approaches the college entrance examination? Except for the word ¡®monotonous¡¯, Zhang Yansheng could hardly think of other adjectives. The head teacher asked them to arrive at school at 7:20 in the morning, and then poked them frantically with the pointer to go and run, in order to pass the physical education. Zhang Yansheng often takes the lead in the morning. She is physically strong and runs easily and rhythmically. For long-distance running, the pace is really important. Finding someone with a good rhythm to run with, there is a sense of ease in the body. So, in the morning, you would often see a large group of people running behind Zhang Yansheng. Everyone was in the same pace and had an accurate rhythm. It was also an early morning scene. The next day was an exhausting day, and there was nothing in their minds except to study. It was not until it was dark, that they would walk out of the campus under the starlight and moonlight. On weekends, other lessons that cannot be arranged normally are naturally squeezed into weekends. For example, extra tutoring class, or skills and talents, and so on. Zhang Yansheng no longer has that pleasure-seeking activities of her previous life in this life, and now leads such a monotonous life, but she does not have the emptiness and loneliness of her previous life. She is so busy that she has no time to think about other things. In this monotonous schedule, time flies quickly, and it only takes a blink of an eye after school started, and it is now the Golden Week in October. Zhang Qi spent the entire summer vacation playing outside, this kind of short vacation is not long enough. So now, she hurried to the old lady to act as a filial granddaughter afterwards. She also criticized Zhang Yansheng: ¡°As soon as the holiday starts, you won¡¯t be able to see her. I envy her for still having this kind of crazy mood to run around. Unlike me, when I get older, I don¡¯t have this kind of mood to run around. I just want to read books, listen to music, and accompany you at home.¡± The old lady smiled: ¡°She is still young.¡± On the last day of the holiday, Zhang Yansheng came back. Then, she followed Zhang Huan, taking Zhang Heling and Zhang Shuocheng, to see her grandma. Zhang Yu¡¯s family also arrived. Zhang Qi asked Zhang Yansheng, ¡°You¡¯ve been playing crazy for several days, where have you been playing?¡± Zhang Yansheng said, ¡°N City.¡± Zhang Qi asked again: ¡°With whom?¡± Zhang Yansheng said, ¡°My classmates.¡± Zhao Lanfen was surprised: ¡°Aren¡¯t you going to a public school?¡± Zhang Yansheng: ¡°Yes.¡± Zhang Qi asked, ¡°Can you have fun somewhere with your classmates? Those classmates of mine in high school, when they went out to play, they all lived in very cheap places and ate very cheap meals.¡± Zhao Lanfen recalled: ¡°You even wanted to go with your classmates at that time. I asked you not to go and you were unhappy. Then, when you saw the photos they sent, the accommodation, the bathroom¡­ you kept shouting that fortunately you didn¡¯t go.¡± Zhang Qi said, ¡°Yes, that¡¯s right.¡± This pair of self-talking mother and daughter made Zhang Yansheng quite speechless. They also asked about the details, and Zhang Yansheng told them: ¡°We rode a high-speed rail and lived in a youth hostel.¡± ¡°Youth hostel¡­¡± Zhao Lanfen¡¯s voice became high, ¡°Is it that kind of special place?¡± A famous lady like her, a youth hostel or something, is an impossible place for her to set foot on, and she won¡¯t dare set her foot there in this life. ¡°It¡¯s fine.¡± Zhang Yansheng recalled, ¡°It¡¯s just that the bathroom is really a bit worse. It¡¯s a squatting pit, and then the shower is on top of the squatting pit, and you have to line up¡­¡± Before Zhao Lanfen screamed, her cousin Zhang Lin screamed first: ¡°Stop, don¡¯t talk anymore! I¡¯m going to vomit!¡± He rubbed his arms, obviously he had goosebumps, and he was acting like he was really vomiting, and his face was a little green. The old lady frowned slightly. Zhao Lanfen complained to her brother-in-law, Zhang Huan: ¡°What a terrible thing to do this to a child!¡± She also glanced at Liang Yingying. It looked as if Zhang Yansheng had been abused by Zhang Huan and Liang Yingying. Zhang Huan smiled, with an MMP in his heart, and said: ¡°She is willing to go there herself!¡± The old lady tried to mediate and asked Zhang Yansheng, ¡°Can you really stand it?¡± Zhang Yansheng smiled: ¡°The toilet is a bit worse, but it¡¯s not like I can¡¯t stand it. Everyone else uses it too, and it¡¯s quite interesting.¡± She said, ¡°There are six of us girls and four boys. Originally, we all booked six rooms for girls, and the boys and girls lived separately. As a result, one day, there was only one 12-person room in that youth hostel, so we have to live together. The girls are all fine, but the boys blush like red cloth one by one, and we laughing at them to death.¡± The old lady laughed: ¡°Kid, it¡¯s really interesting.¡± ¡°The other two beds are occupied by a college couple.¡± Zhang Yansheng said, ¡°The two of them occupy a bunk bed and sleep together in the lower bunk at night. The boys¡¯ faces had become even redder.¡± Everyone laughed together. Zhang Lin is a boy with a brazen face, and he winked: ¡°Is there no movement at night?¡± Zhang Yu poked his head and derided: ¡°D*mn it! Hehe and Shuosuo are here!¡± Zhang Heling: ¡°?¡± Zhang Yansheng rolled her eyes: ¡°There are no curtains in the 12-person room, but there are night lights. There was no such movement and they just slept. They probably just love to squeeze themselves to sleep.¡± Everyone laughed again. Zhang Heling: ¡°?¡± Why are they laughing? Zhao Lanfen gave a ¡°tsk¡± and said with some disgust: ¡°Some girls are really not too self-loving.¡± Those words, no matter what they mean or who they are aimed at, they still don¡¯t sound very pleasing to the ear. The old lady and Zhang Huan frowned, even Zhang Yu frowned and looked at his wife, while Zhang Yansheng raised her eyebrows. She and her aunt had no grievances or feuds in her previous life, and they had no conflicts. Even when they met occasionally later, she would take her hand and sighed and squeezed two tears, saying that she was wronged, and asked if she was short of money, and insisted on giving her money. So, in this life, Zhang Yansheng didn¡¯t care when he saw Zhao Lanfen¡¯s harmless little scheming and clever words. It is nothing more than the normal and ordinary small thoughts of an ordinary person. But this sentence was uncomfortable just now. Because she used the word ¡®some¡¯, Zhang Yansheng and her female classmates seemed to be included. Zhang Yansheng raised her eyebrows: ¡°Who do you say doesn¡¯t love themselves?¡± Unexpectedly, Zhao Lanfen said, ¡°Like that, if you find a boyfriend who is so poor, then you¡¯ll have to live with so many people when you go on a trip. It¡¯s so sad for the parents to know this.¡± ¡°But maybe such a girl might be on the same level as well.¡± She said, ¡°Anyway, you girls, you must remember that when you are looking for a boyfriend, you have to find the right one. Don¡¯t be fascinated by this kind of poor boy.¡± Zhang Yansheng: ¡°¡­¡± Zhang Yansheng did not expect that this is what she meant. She felt as if she had hit the cotton with a punch, and almost lost her breath. Sure enough, the thinking of young girls and middle-aged and elderly women is very different. It is rare for the old lady to support her eldest daughter-in-law once, she nodded and said, ¡°Lanfen has a point. Don¡¯t think that this is old-school thinking. It is not only whether you have money or not, but also different values formed by different family conditions and educational experiences. There is too much conflict of values, and this life cannot be passed.¡± Zhang Yansheng was even more speechless: ¡°Grandma, I¡¯m only in my second year of high school.¡± The old lady smiled and said, ¡°I¡¯m telling this to your sister.¡± Zhang Qi was displeased, ¡°Grandma~~¡± The old lady took the opportunity to ask, ¡°Does Qiqi have a boyfriend now?¡± Zhao Lanfen said modestly: ¡°There are several people chasing her, all of them are okay. There is this one, who is the youngest son of the Luo Ming Electronics family in Z City. He looks good, he has a model¡­¡± Then, she talked about Zhang Qi¡¯s relationship problems. Zhang Yansheng was bored, touched her cellphone and glanced at it, only to find that her classmates had already exploded, and everyone was frantically looking for her. ¡°@ZhangYansheng Yansheng! Yansheng! There is a tyrant! He rewarded our videos with 100,000 yuan!¡± ¡°@ZhangYansheng He gave 10,000 yuan rewards for each of the ten videos! A total of 100,000 yuan!¡± ¡°@ZhangYansheng Yansheng! The videos he rewarded are all yours! And it¡¯s not just on one account! He followed several of our accounts!¡± ¡°@ZhangYansheng This must be your fan!!! D*mn, it¡¯s too tyrant!¡± The classmates have been fried into a pot of porridge. High school students from ordinary families usually have a few hundred yuan to a thousand yuan of pocket money, which is very good, and they rarely have access to money of the order of 100,000 yuan. They were really excited and terrified. There was already too much information in their group chat. Zhang Yansheng only glanced at the messages where she was tagged. After looking at them, she posted directly in the group: ¡°?¡± ¡°Ahhhhhhhhhhh! Yansheng is here!!! She¡¯s finally here!¡± Zhang Yansheng asked, ¡°What¡¯s going on?¡± She added: ¡°Only one person will respond. Everyone else, do not post at the same time, I will feel dizzy.¡± So, a classmate who was better at summarizing told her about the situation, and sent her a screenshot of the background of the video platform. In the screenshot, the ID of the local tyrant who gave the rewards is called ¡®ListeningToPineByTheCreek¡¯. This kind of four-character name with a little bit of national style is too common, and the recognition is far inferior to ¡®PurpleEyes?ColdStare?BlackHairTurnedIntoWhite¡¯, which is basically forgotten after reading it, so it has never entered Zhang Yansheng¡¯s mind at all. Zhang Yansheng didn¡¯t even feel familiar when she saw the name. In short, the matter was clarified. This ListeningToPineByTheCreek paid attention to several uploader masters in the class who had uploaded videos with Zhang Yansheng. In particular, it is especially important to explain that ¡®with Zhang Yansheng¡¯ is because there are other students in the class who also posted their own videos. For example, there is a classmate who will record a video of himself brushing the questions. The process of solving the questions is clear and clear. It is actually very popular, with more than a thousand fans. Moreover, this account and the accounts of several other classmates are interrelated, but ListeningToPineByTheCreek did not pay attention to such accounts. The uploader accounts he only followed are those who had posted videos with Zhang Yansheng. And the videos he rewarded all feature Zhang Yansheng as the protagonist. Therefore, although there were no messages and no voices from him, they had silently expressed a clear and unambiguous meaning: The money was rewarded to Zhang Yansheng. Most of the students received this message clearly. That¡¯s why there were a lot of messages tagged at Zhang Yansheng. When everyone was excited, they were also a little overwhelmed. Some people are even asking: ¡°What should we do? Are we going to return the money back?¡± ¡°What are we going to return? This is a reward!¡± ¡°Then what should we do with the money?¡± Because those videos are not owned by the uploaders alone, they are actually taken by everyone together. High school students were a little panicked when they encountered so much money for the first time, and they didn¡¯t know what to do with it. A classmate with a clear mind said: ¡°I understand that this money is for Yansheng. So, let Yansheng decide.¡± Everyone: ¡°I second the motion!¡± ¡°I second the motion!¡± ¡°I second the motion!¡± ¡°I second the motion!¡± Zhang Yansheng thought for a while and said, ¡°The money on every video that was rewarded will be given to all participants in this video, including actors, cameramen, creatives, and assistants. The reward money will be divided equally among all participants.¡± When Zhang Yansheng said this, everyone had the backbone. ¡°Okay!¡± ¡°This method is good!¡± ¡°Let¡¯s do it!¡± Zhang Yansheng glanced up at the adults who said that Zhang Qi¡¯s suitors were in full swing, and then said in the group: ¡°We only make videos for fun, not to make money. It¡¯s easy to distract everyone now because of this. It¡¯s better if we don¡¯t shoot videos in the future, let¡¯s study hard from now on.¡± ¡°I also think the same, I am so dumbfounded to see so much money today!¡± ¡°Yeah, it scared me to death!¡± ¡°Yansheng is right.¡± But some people were confused and couldn¡¯t help muttering in the group: ¡°We can make money in this way, so why don¡¯t we just keep making money?¡± Someone with a good relationship immediately sent him a private message: ¡°Are you stupid? You think this money is for us, it is obvious that someone has a crush on Yansheng! If Yansheng didn¡¯t appear on the videos, do you think that person would give you money for nothing?¡± That classmate shut up. Zhang Yansheng listened to the adults chatting for a while. It¡¯s quite boring anyway, it¡¯s just the reserved appearance of her cousin. As for her aunt, what she talked about the boys were their family backgrounds, looks, and how they tried their best to please Zhang Qi. She listened for a while and then looked down at her phone again. The classmates in the group had obviously communicated privately, and announced to Zhang Yansheng in the group: ¡°@ZhangYansheng Yansheng, we have discussed it already. These rewards are actually mainly for you. We think that it is better to distribute it like this: each rewarded video will give you 1,000 yuan separately, and then the remaining 9,000 yuan will be divided equally among all participants (including you). It has been agreed by all members and your objection is invalid. That¡¯s it!¡± There is a row of ¡°OK¡± emoticons at the bottom, in a neat formation. A group of little cuties. Zhang Yansheng couldn¡¯t help but smile. CH 114 Enchantress12-15 minutes 26.03.2022 Yue Song was shocked when he saw the videos of Zhang Yansheng and her classmates traveling during the Golden Week in October, because the conditions of their accommodation are really poor. Yue Song has grown to this age, but the worst condition he has experienced is the university dormitory he is living in now ¡ª a four-person room with a separate bathroom. Strictly speaking, he has no chance to come into contact with worse conditions. The conditions of the youth hostel like the one where Zhang Yansheng and the others lived were so simple that before he saw it with his own eyes, he didn¡¯t believe that a young lady with a rich background like her would go to. Those children even went to record a video of the bathroom. It was a very small area with a squatting toilet, and the shower head was hung on the top of the squatting pit. Yue Song could hear them chattering in the video ¡ª ¡°What if I slip my foot in?¡± ¡°If you slip your foot in there, how will you pull it out?¡± ¡°Ahhhhh~ it¡¯s so disgusting!¡± ¡°Wash it off first before taking a shower, hahahaha!¡± ¡°Ahhhhhh~ shut up and stop talking!¡± As the camera shook, those boys and girls could be seen laughing together. Zhang Yansheng also bent over with a smile. She didn¡¯t seem to be unhappy because of the poor conditions. She seemed to enjoy the trip. Yue Song always felt that he was grounded enough, and he was by no means the kind of dude who is to be ¡®oblivious to other people¡¯s plight¡¯, but he didn¡¯t expect Zhang Yansheng to be more grounded than him. He didn¡¯t know that the two lunatics, Zhang Yansheng and Xu Lichen, indulged in extreme sports and various nerve-stimulating challenges in her previous life. They had been smashed in the mud in the wild and they naturally have no pressure to accept such so-called ¡®harsh¡¯ conditions. Yue Song frowned unconsciously. He clearly remembered that when he saw her at the charity event hosted by Xue Xintong, he felt that her dress, temperament, and demeanor obviously did not show any harsh mistreatment in material terms. But he is not so sure now. What if she was well-nurtured only when her mother was alive, and the millions of yuan investments handed by her stepmother were merely superficial? Yue Song covered his lips with his palms, held his chin and thought for a while, then decided to test it out. He picked 10 of her videos from several accounts of her classmates and rewarded them with a total of 100,000 yuan. It¡¯s so obvious that as long as these children are not stupid, they can tell that he is directly giving the rewards to Zhang Yansheng. Then, he has to wait and see what the reaction is. After the holiday, a few days later, those account owners suddenly uploaded the same video. In the video, a girl represented everyone and said, ¡°Thank you all for your rewards. We are really flattered. But we make these videos purely for fun and not to make money. We are still high school students and our study tasks were quite heavy, so we only recorded videos to relax during occasional breaks. And now, we all feel that we should still focus on our studies and should not be too distracted, especially our heroine¡­¡± The girl made a gesture of muscles, smiled and said, ¡°Well, it¡¯s our heroine who is an A burst¡­ She decided not to make these videos in the future. Therefore, in the future, we may share some daily videos, but there will be no more such small videos with plot stories. In short, we would like to thank everyone for all your support along the way, especially the local tyrant who rewarded us. Thank you very much.¡± As soon as this video came out, Zhang Yansheng responded to Yue Song through the air, and Yue Song was relieved. If she is really treated harshly and is really short of money, she will most likely feel that this is a way to make money after receiving rewards, and then make more videos. But she didn¡¯t, so Yue Song was relieved. Thinking about it, too, a family like the Xingnan Group shouldn¡¯t be harsh on their children in terms of money no matter what. He was completely worried. At this time, Yue Song hadn¡¯t realized that there is a word called ¡®concern¡¯, which is caring about someone indiscriminately. He always felt that he and Zhang Yansheng were separated by a very safe distance. He didn¡¯t face it squarely, but he had actually given Zhang Yansheng too much and proactive attention. And he also forgot that when he used 100,000 yuan to test her out, he actually envisioned another possibility ¡ª the possibility that Zhang Yansheng would be treated harshly. If this possibility is confirmed, Yue Song will not sit idly by. He will definitely reach out and take care of it. Although this idea only flashed past in his brain, there is no denying that it did exist ¡ª He planned not to watch from the sidelines, but to lend a helping hand to Zhang Yansheng, who ¡®might be treated harshly¡¯ in the three dimensions. It¡¯s just that reality didn¡¯t give him this opportunity. ¡­¡­ Ever since she had a late self-study in her second year of high school and lived a life full of stars and moon, Zhang Yansheng felt that the flow of time has made people very dazed. At that time, she felt that the time every day was very long, but in the blink of an eye¡­ a semester had passed, and the final exam began again! Long before the final exam started, Liang Yingying told Zhang Huan in advance: ¡°One of my girlfriend¡¯s family had invited the rest of us to play together¡­¡± Liang Yingying¡¯s attraction to Zhang Huan withered like a yellow flower yesterday. At first, she tried to use various methods to recover Zhang Huan¡¯s heart, but later found that they were all in vain. A 30-year-old woman, even if you still feel that you are beautiful, why should you compete with those of the 20-year-old girls outside? Liang Yingying had already turned off the fire. Since Zhang Huan didn¡¯t care about her existence, but because of Zhang Heling and Zhang Shuocheng, he didn¡¯t seem to want her to be laid off. So, Liang Yingying began to let go of herself ¡ª she didn¡¯t plan to serve Zhang Huan as before. Anyway, Zhang Huan didn¡¯t even give her the opportunity to serve him. Then, she decided to have a happier life on her own. Zhang Huan knew as soon as he heard it that she was not happy to take the children on vacation. He actually didn¡¯t care, he just wanted her to leave him alone and keep him quiet. ¡°Fine, go, go,¡± he said. This is what Liang Yingying wants, but that kind of carelessness in Zhang Huan¡¯s expression and attitude still made her bitter in her heart. When she was just in her most beautiful time of her youth, this man also said ¡°Xiao Yingying will stay with me forever¡±. But after 10 years, it has become a car exhaust, not as good as a fart. Thanks to her cleverness, she gave birth to two children for him, and the meal ticket was stable for the rest of her life. On the day Zhang Yansheng finished the exam, she told Zhang Huan: ¡°Don¡¯t arrange internships or anything for me this holiday. Just don¡¯t arrange anything for me.¡± Zhang Huan was taken aback: ¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡± ¡°I¡¯m going on vacation. I want to relax.¡± Zhang Yansheng said. Zhang Huan smiled and said: ¡°Oh, who told me before that she doesn¡¯t like to go out and just loves to stay at home?¡± Zhang Yansheng bulged her eyes at him and gave him a real talk: ¡°I have to be at school as early as 7:20 in the morning and go out at 8:40 in the evening for a whole semester. And now, I don¡¯t have time to relax anymore. Will you be happy because of my sudden death?¡± ¡°Of course not! Ah pooh-pooh! I won¡¯t blame you for saying nonsense!¡± Zhang Huan said quickly, ¡°You go out and play, go out and play! Let my secretary book you the flight ticket and hotel! You can relax, ah. I don¡¯t want to tire out my daughter, ah.¡± This was said at the dining table. When Zhang Heling heard this, she looked over eagerly. Zhang Yansheng held it for a while. Thirty seconds. In the end, she asked Zhang Huan: ¡°Did you arrange anything for them?¡± ¡°No.¡± Zhang Huan said, ¡°Their mother ran away yesterday¡­ and went on a trip. No one will take care of them now. Why don¡¯t you sign them up for a winter camp, study tour, or something?¡± ¡°You take care of Zhang Shuocheng.¡± Zhang Yansheng said, ¡°I will take Hehe with me.¡± As soon as these words came out, Zhang Heling¡¯s small face instantly turned into a flower with a smile. How could she change her face so quickly? ¡°Look at this child!¡± Zhang Huan scratched her little nose, ¡°Have fun with your sister, don¡¯t run around.¡± Zhang Shuocheng also cast his gaze over, Zhang Yansheng¡¯s eyebrows lifted, and then she looked away with a ¡®whoosh¡¯. Two days later, the final exam results came out, and Zhang Yansheng¡¯s ranking was stable. The champion climbed up again, which is normal. What surprised Zhang Yansheng was that Xu Lichen¡¯s grades had improved a lot. Could it be that he was reborn as well? Anyway, it¡¯s a happy thing. So, during the winter vacation, Zhang Yansheng took Zhang Heling with her, and they first flew to the snow-capped mountains of Europe for skiing, and then to the tropical island beaches for diving and sunbathing. The spa there was very comfortable. The two sisters wore the same two-piece swimsuits and the same sunglasses, lying on the beach chairs while drinking cold beverages and basking in the comfortable sun. The bling blings on their newly made nails shine in the sun. ¡°It¡¯s a pity, my sister¡¯s clothes will not be worn again when school starts.¡± Zhang Heling raised her two small hands and sighed. She is studying in a private school and was very relaxed in dressing. Girls often have shawls, all kinds of beautiful skirts, and some seniors even wear light makeup and jewelry. ¡°It¡¯s pretty good.¡± Zhang Yansheng said with her arms resting on her back, ¡°Our school can wear casual clothes from Tuesday to Friday at least, although skirts are not allowed. You know that in some public schools, girls must cut their hair short, the kind that cannot grow past their ears. Many girls have been cut into watermelon heads, which are so ugly. This effectively put an end to puppy love ¡ª it¡¯s too ugly, so it¡¯s impossible to fall in love.¡± Zhang Heling let out a ¡®hiss¡¯ and rejoiced: ¡°Fortunately, I didn¡¯t go to that kind of school. Sister, what is that, let me try taste it~¡± ¡°Go away.¡± Zhang Yansheng pushed her head away, ¡°You can¡¯t drink it, you¡¯re still a kid, just drink your juice!¡± ¡°Sister, you are also underage ah!¡± The elder sister stopped paying attention to her, as she continued to sip her own alcoholic beverage. Her elder sister could only allow her to drink juice, so she was full of curiosity about her elder sister¡¯s alcoholic beverages. Zhang Heling bit the straw and asked: ¡°Sister, do you have a boyfriend?¡± Zhang Yansheng: ¡°¡­¡± A claw hand suddenly clasped the little girl¡¯s head: ¡°Don¡¯t care about these useless things!¡± Zhang Heling shielded her head: ¡°Everyone in our class is in love, even Shuoshuo and the others in the different grades.¡± Zhang Shuocheng is only in the third grade, are the kids so precocious now? Zhang Yansheng took off her glasses and asked, ¡°Has Shuoshuo ever been rude to any girls in school?¡± Zhang Heling said, ¡°He has not, has he?¡± Zhang Yansheng said more clearly: ¡°Like¡­ lifting girl¡¯s skirts, touching girl¡¯s butts and chests or something?¡± Zhang Heling was shocked: ¡°Isn¡¯t that a hooligan?¡± Zhang Yansheng: ¡°So, has he ever done any of that?¡± Zhang Heling waved her hand quickly: ¡°No, no, that¡¯s impossible!¡± Seeing Zhang Yansheng¡¯s eyes, which didn¡¯t seem to believe it very much. Zhang Heling vowed and said, ¡°How could it be possible? If he dares to do such a shameful thing, I will beat him up with you! But he really did not, he is still a child, and he doesn¡¯t even know what hooliganism is!¡± Indeed, he is still young. Zhang Yansheng thought for a while, Zhang Shuocheng did those things after he entered puberty. Before that, he was just naughty, but not a hooligan. Zhang Yansheng guessed that he was probably in adolescence stage, and she didn¡¯t know that he would be exposed to the pornographic information from the internet or other channels, and eventually would go rogue without an adult to discipline him. But she doesn¡¯t think about it in this life. She really doesn¡¯t want to kill him! CH 115 Enchantress13-16 minutes 27.03.2022 Before New Year¡¯s Eve, Zhang Yansheng returned with Zhang Heling. Because the old lady is still alive, the Zhang family still spends the New Year together every year. But this year, it seems that her aunt and eldest cousin are very happy, and they specially told everyone: ¡°They will start broadcasting the drama before the start of the new school semester. The promotion team has done very well and it is now being discussed on the internet.¡± It turned out that the TV series invested by Zhang Qi was about to be released soon, for the Spring Festival. Zhang Qi asked, ¡°How is the movie that Yanyan invested in? I heard that it was originally scheduled to be released during the Chinese New Year this year, but it was moved again? This is the second time already, right?¡± Hearing her tone, you¡¯ll know that she was quite concerned. ¡°That¡¯s right.¡± Zhang Yansheng had predicted it a long time ago, so she said indifferently, ¡°Isn¡¯t that what movies are like? They are much more troublesome than TV series.¡± ¡°Therefore, investment still has to be carefully considered and measured in many ways.¡± Zhang Qi said earnestly, ¡°You can¡¯t listen to others fooling around and pay out when your mind is hot. In this case, our family will not be able to lose even if we have a lot of money. Don¡¯t you think so?¡± Zhang Yansheng nodded inwardly: ¡°Elder sister is right.¡± Zhang Heling raised her eyes and looked at Zhang Qi, then at Zhang Yansheng, without saying a word. At night, she quietly asked Zhang Yansheng: ¡°Sister, are we going to lose money?¡± Standing in line and standing correctly, she knows who is included in the word ¡®we¡¯. Zhang Yansheng patted her on the head: ¡°I¡¯m not sure.¡± Zhang Heling was worried. Zhang Yansheng was speechless: ¡°What makes a child like you worry about this?¡± Zhang Heling said unhappily: ¡°If we lose money, aunt and Sister Qiqi will have to say something unpleasant again.¡± When she was growing up, she didn¡¯t understand the meaning behind those eccentric words. Zhang Yansheng clasped her head and said with certainty: ¡°I won¡¯t lose, so don¡¯t think about it.¡± Zhang Heling became happy. She grabbed Zhang Yansheng and asked quietly: ¡°What about Sister Qiqi¡¯s TV series?¡± Zhang Yansheng: ¡°How would I know?¡± Since she was not able to get a straight answer from Zhang Yansheng, Zhang Heling was really scratching her heart and lungs. So, she really guarded the time to watch the TV series. ¡°The characters are very good-looking.¡± She commented in a pertinent manner. Zhang Yansheng didn¡¯t watch it. The title of that drama is¡¶A Man who Holds the Sky¡·. Zhang Yansheng didn¡¯t want to watch it when she heard the title. She asked, ¡°How was it?¡± Zhang Heling: ¡°The characters are very good-looking.¡± ¡°¡­¡± Zhang Yansheng, ¡°Then what?¡± ¡°There was this one man who was not good at first, then he became more and more powerful, more and more difficult to deal with, and in the end, no one could beat him. All the people who bullied him ended up very badly, and those who said bad things to him also ended up very badly.¡± Zhang Heling concluded, ¡°Then there were a few women, but there¡¯s only one man. A woman kissed him today, and another woman will kiss him tomorrow. A woman misunderstood him today, and another woman will misunderstand him tomorrow. Anyway, no one is willing to explain the matter well, so they just keep misunderstanding and getting angry with each other. When the misunderstanding was resolved, they would kiss again. Also, there is a person who always fights with others, while talking to a few women who don¡¯t understand him clearly, but in the end these women still admire him very much.¡± Zhang Yansheng: ¡°¡­okay.¡± Sure enough, it¡¯s not a show she would like to watch. Before the start of school, Mo Lin called Zhang Yansheng and told her two pieces of good news. ¡°The first one is regarding¡¶A Man who Holds the Sky¡·, you said that a relative of yours has invested in this drama.¡± She said, ¡°Looking at it now, it¡¯s okay, basically giving an assurance that you won¡¯t lose. If it is stable in the later stage, it will make a small profit. ¡°Oh.¡± Zhang Yansheng is not interested in this. She has nothing to do with Zhang Qi¡¯s profit or loss. She asked: ¡°What about the second one?¡± ¡°The second one,¡± Mo Lin told her that¡¶Leaving the Solar System¡·is set to be released for the upcoming summer vacation. The news really surprised Zhang Yan, ¡°Really?¡± ¡°Of course.¡± Mo Lin smiled and said, ¡°Everything is all set.¡± It¡¯s more than half a year earlier than in her previous life. Zhang Yansheng thought about it seriously, and felt that this might have something to do with Mo Lin¡¯s later financing process. Among other things, Mo Lin raised almost 150 million yuan just from K City alone. As long as the funds are in place, it will not affect the progress of the movie. Therefore, it is logical to be ahead of schedule compared to when it was released in her previous life. ¡°Then I¡¯m looking forward to it.¡± Zhang Yansheng said. ¡°You will not be disappointed.¡± Mo Lin said, ¡°I watched it in Old Xie¡¯s place in advance. Although it is a version that has not been edited yet, but seriously, you will really not be disappointed.¡± ¡°Of course.¡± Zhang Yansheng said with a smile. ¡°I believe in the quality of this movie to make money.¡± Zhang Yansheng told Xu Lichen the good news, but Xu Lichen said, ¡°I already know.¡± ¡°Hey, did Big Sister Mo call you first?¡± Zhang Yansheng asked. ¡°No, Big Brother Hai told me.¡± Xu Lichen said. Zhang Yansheng: ¡°¡­who?¡± ¡°He¡¯s an assistant director,¡± Xu Lichen said, ¡°Guess what I did during the winter vacation?¡± ¡°You either say it or I¡¯ll hang up.¡± Zhang Yansheng said, ¡°I don¡¯t want to guess.¡± ¡°Tsk!¡± Xu Lichen flaunted, ¡°I went to act.¡± Zhang Yansheng: ¡°¡­huh?¡± Xu Lichen triumphantly said, ¡°Big Brother Yangzi introduced me.¡± Zhang Yansheng: ¡°¡­who?¡± Xu Lichen: ¡°He¡¯s another assistant director, casting director.¡± She then understood, it¡¯s the group who hooked up and drank together with him. Xu Lichen¡¯s excitement hasn¡¯t passed yet: ¡°Zhang Yansheng, let me tell you, acting is very interesting.¡± Zhang Yansheng listened to him for a while, and was speechless: ¡°Okay, stop it, school is about to start. Have you finished your winter vacation¡­¡± ¡°Zhang Yansheng!¡± Xu Lichen said loudly, ¡°If we don¡¯t mention the winter vacation homework, we will still be brothers for life!¡± The rhythm of life in the second semester of second year in high school has become more stressful. As the weather is getting warmer, the school has advanced the time to arrive at school and delayed the time of the end of school. It is said that some students who cannot afford the rent nearby have to get up at 5 o¡¯clock in the morning and go out. It is past 10 o¡¯clock when they get home at night, and then they still have to continue to study until midnight. Zhang Yansheng is much better. She can take a break and take a nap in the car on the way to school and home. But she must sleep late on weekends! Basically, the energy consumed during the week must be replenished during the lazy sleep on weekends. And she usually wakes up in a terrible mood. One weekend morning, Zhang Shuocheng didn¡¯t know why he got up so early. He ran into the backyard which woke her up by him yelling frantically just below her window. Zhang Yansheng wrapped herself in a nightgown and rushed down to beat him up. Zhang Shuocheng burst into tears and snots in front of Zhang Huan. It was so tragic that Zhang Huan shed a few tears with him, sighed, and advised him: ¡°On weekends, you should go to the front yard to play, and don¡¯t ever go to the backyard to play, so as not to disturb your eldest sister, okay? She is approaching the college entrance examination and is under a lot of pressure.¡± Zhang Shuocheng wiped away tears and said with a crying voice: ¡°Okay!!!¡± Under this kind of boring and fulfilling pace of life, in April, she suddenly knew that Xu Lichen had taken a week off. She heard it from his classmates. Two boys came to find Zhang Yansheng together, one wearing glasses, and the other claimed to be the monitor of Class 5. ¡°We heard Xu Lichen say that he is buddies with you.¡± The monitor said, ¡°I just want to ask if you know when he will come back to school. He has taken a week off. He didn¡¯t reply when we sent him a text message, and we were a little worried that he would not be able to keep up with his studies.¡± Zhang Yansheng was surprised that she didn¡¯t speak for several seconds. This life is very different. She and Xu Lichen both got rid of the Class 8, got rid of the life of absenteeism from school, and took a different path. So, what happened to Xu Lichen now? ¡°We don¡¯t know.¡± The glasses brother pushed his glasses. ¡°The teacher didn¡¯t know, but she said that there seems to be something wrong with their family, and his father was sick or something.¡± Father Xu is sick? Zhang Yansheng¡¯s heart suddenly beat violently for some reason, and an uneasy feeling arose in her heart. After she finished talking with the two boys in Class 5, she hurriedly got into her car and took out her cellphone to call Xu Lichen. It was connected, there was a ringing tone, and then Xu Lichen dropped the call. Zhang Yansheng called his number twice more, and both calls were dropped. Zhang Yansheng felt even more uneasy in her heart. She thought for a while and called Zhang Huan: ¡°Dad, I have something to ask you¡­ No, I just got in the car and will arrive home in a while! Yes, I¡¯ve eaten¡­ you let me talk first, I have something to ask you!¡± She asked: ¡°My classmate Xu Lichen¡­ yes, that one you call Xiao Xu, yes, do you know what has been going on in their family recently? ¡­No, it¡¯s not that, is there anything new?¡± Zhang Huan: ¡°How do I know that I still have to watch the divorce of the couple every day? ¡­Hey, don¡¯t worry, I¡¯ll inquire about it for you.¡± Zhang Huan hung up the phone and went to inquire about the couple for Zhang Yansheng. After about 20 minutes, he called her: ¡°Something is f*cking wrong!¡± Zhang Yansheng said in a calm voice, ¡°Tell me.¡± ¡°How should I say this¡­¡° Zhang Huan¡¯s tone was full of endless feelings, ¡°Xiao Xu¡¯s father¡­ it was said that he is mentally ill.¡± The news made Zhang Yansheng¡¯s head explode. Zhang Huan said, ¡°I went to the Provincial Development and Reform Commission for a meeting last month and saw him there. But now, his wife, Xiao Xu¡¯s mother, is saying that he became mentally ill and is already in a mental hospital.¡± ¡°This f*cking¡­ I just met him and now, he is in a mental hospital.¡± Zhang Huan rubbed the goose bumps on the back of his neck, ¡°It¡¯s terrifying to think about it.¡± Zhang Yansheng heard the buzzing in her head! She already understands it all! What Mother Xu wasn¡¯t able to do in her previous life, she has done it in this life! She controlled that scumbag man, Father Xu! But how could this happen? The Xu family¡¯s husband and wife had a fierce divorce battle and even physically fought a few times. The two of them were very wary of each other. In her previous life, Mother Xu also set up a Hongmen Banquet1ºèÃÅÑç ¨C ¡°Hongmen Banquet¡± was used as a metaphor for a banquet that hid murderous intentions and attempted to harm guests. to ambush Father Xu. But because Father Xu was wary of her, he brought enough bodyguards, and finally escaped alive. How could this happen in this life? Zhang Yansheng felt that she had to sort out her thoughts. The road at 10 o¡¯clock in the evening was very empty, the driving was unimpeded, and the electric poles on the side of the road retreated quickly. Why can¡¶Leaving the Solar System¡·be released more than half a year in advance? Because the financing went smoothly. Because Mo Lin met Zhang Yansheng at the forum in Shuizhen, and then took away almost 150 million from K City that had not appeared in her previous life. In the final analysis, it is because of one variable, which is Zhang Yansheng. As for the Xu family¡­ Xu Lichen is the only one who has changed. Xu Lichen is the only variable in the Xu family. There is such a big difference between this life and the previous life, only because of Xu Lichen¡¯s role in it. Seeing that her home is almost in front of her, Zhang Yansheng suddenly patted the back of the driver¡¯s seat vigorously: ¡°Driver Zhou, turn around!¡± Zhang Yansheng went to Xu¡¯s house. The huge house is all black with lights, and it has a ghost-house atmosphere. Zhang Yansheng rang the doorbell for a long time before an aunt hurriedly opened the door. It looked like she had already fallen asleep and got up again. But Xu Lichen was not at home. Mother Xu is not there either. There is no owner in that house now. The master was admitted to a mental hospital. The madam was disgusted with that house, which was full of traces of the master, and would not come back to live there at all. Xu Lichen was not there either. There are only a few aunts in the house. They live freely every day. They are happy that no one cares about them, and at the same time, they worry about whether they will be unemployed if the family members make troubles like this. ¡°I don¡¯t know where he went.¡± The aunt said, ¡°He said he was going to film.¡± ¡°Oh, he always likes filming.¡± CH 116 Zhang Yansheng calmed down and called Director Xie. ¡°Director Xie, this is Zhang Yansheng. It¡¯s been a long time. I have something to ask you about.¡± Zhang Yansheng said, ¡°There are several assistant directors around you who are familiar with my friend, Xu Lichen. I would like to ask you to help me ask them if they know where Xu Lichen is¡­ What? You know?¡± ¡°Xiao Xu, I know, he¡¯s in H City now.¡± Director Xie said, ¡°It was me who introduced him. Why are you looking for him? Okay, I will tell you the address and the contact person.¡± Zhang Yansheng got into the car and told Xiao Zhou: ¡°Go to the airport!¡± Xiao Zhou was surprised: ¡°Where are you going? You¡¯re not going home?¡± Zhang Yansheng said, ¡°I have some matters to attend to, so I have to go out of town.¡± Xiao Zhou determined his responsibility first: ¡°Does Master Zhang know? Today is Wednesday, don¡¯t you have to go to school tomorrow?¡± So, this is troublesome for minors. Zhang Yansheng had no choice but to say: ¡°Drive to the airport first. I¡¯ll make a call.¡± She called Zhang Huan: ¡°I¡¯m going to see Xu Lichen in H City, so you help me ask for two days off from the school.¡± Zhang Huan: ¡°¡­¡± For a moment, Zhang Huan thought that he was the child and that she was the parent. ¡°No, I¡¯m just telling¡­ to delay school for him, that¡­¡± He tried to stop her. He didn¡¯t like the kid surnamed Xu from the beginning, and his family was in such a mess. He originally thought that the father was a scumbag. But now, as he looked at it again, the mother is also very cruel. Zhang Huan is really unhappy about the people with the surname Xu. ¡°He is my friend.¡± Zhang Yansheng said, ¡°He is a very special friend to me.¡± Zhang Yansheng¡¯s voice was very low, and she didn¡¯t mean to quarrel with Zhang Huan. It was just a statement, just a statement. Calm like an adult. Zhang Huan was silent for a moment, then bitterly agreed: ¡°Okay! Go and come back as soon as possible!¡± Zhang Yansheng: ¡°¡­thank you.¡± Zhang Yansheng arrived at the airport and directly bought a ticket with the latest flight going to H City. Director Xie gave her a contact person and said that she could ask this person for help with anything, such as running errands or something. Zhang Yansheng called this person, asked him to arrange a car and driver for her, and then transferred him a sum of money. This person replied: ¡°You are so kind. It doesn¡¯t take this much.¡± Zhang Yan said: ¡°The extra is for your hard work.¡± It was already 2 o¡¯clock early in the morning when she arrived in H City. The man drove to pick her up and said, ¡°Xiao Xu is still filming. Are we going there now? Or go to the hotel and wait for him instead?¡± Zhang Yansheng did not hesitate: ¡°Let¡¯s go to him now.¡± It is common for the crew to film all night. When Zhang Yansheng passed by, Xu Lichen happened to be on the stage. He was surrounded by people in the night. The leader is a young fresh meat. Zhang Yansheng has seen him on the internet, and he should be the male protagonist. The male protagonist and his brothers blocked Xu Lichen, and after a few arguments, they raised their hands. Xu Lichen first started with two strikes and was quite fierce. But soon, he was ¡®unable to resist¡¯ the power of the male protagonist and was ¡®knocked to the ground¡¯. The male protagonist stopped, but the male protagonist¡¯s brothers still continued to ¡®punch and kick¡¯ Xu Lichen. The quality was not bad. The director raised his hand and was about to shout ¡°Stop¡±, when he suddenly heard an angry voice one step ahead: ¡°Stop!¡± The director¡­ is still raising his hand: ¡°¡­¡± Who robbed him of his line? Immediately, a beautiful girl who did not lose to the lead actress rushed into the camera, smashed the young fresh meat that was in the way, and grabbed Xu Lichen with both hands. Those ¡®brothers of the male lead¡¯ all staggered back involuntarily. Xu Lichen was also startled when he heard that voice. He opened his eyes and sat up, and saw that it was indeed that person. ¡°Zhang Yansheng!¡± He sat up with a dazed expression, ¡°You, why are you here?¡± So, everyone saw that the boy, who was introduced by Director Xie as an amateur actor, was kicked over by the beautiful girl who just appeared suddenly! Zhang Yansheng already knew that Xu Lichen was just acting when he was being ¡®beaten¡¯, which was all false. But when she saw Xu Lichen curled up and rolled on the ground while protecting his head, she still rushed straight to his head with anger! When did Xu Lichen get beaten up like this? Regardless of whether it is fighting for money or fighting with fist, they have always walked sideways and have never suffered a loss! Never been bullied! When is it time for others to beat up Xu Lichen?! ¡°If you don¡¯t want to go to school, you will just run here and get beaten up! Are you that cheap?!¡± Zhang Yansheng raised her fist, ¡°If you want to be beaten, then look for me! I¡¯ll accompany you!¡± Xu Lichen knew how good she was, and when he saw her angry again, he didn¡¯t dare to ignore her, so he rolled on the spot and got up in a defensive manner. Zhang Yansheng¡¯s fist has already come, the strength when she is angry! The young fresh meat and the other young actors who played as his ¡®brothers¡¯ were so scared that they backed away, completely deprived of the ¡®brave and fierce¡¯ and ¡®boldness¡¯ they had just now, for fear of being swept away by that whistling fist. The whole crew watched in amazement. Zhang Yansheng¡¯s fist can make a dull sound when it hits the flesh, which sounds scary. Xu Lichen was embarrassed. He glanced at the sky, shook his head, suddenly opened his arms to hug Zhang Yansheng, and held her tightly: ¡°Zhang Yansheng! Calm down! That¡¯s just filming! You are so cold¡­¡± Everyone opened their mouths and watched Xu Lichen swing like an arc in the air, and was slapped by Zhang Yansheng and thrown to the ground, making a dull sound of falling to the ground. Lying on the ground groaning/moaning. Zhang Yansheng¡¯s chest heaved, and she calmed down as she looked at Xu Lichen, who was groaning/moaning half-true and half-false on the ground. The lighting engineer was still holding the reflector with his mouth open blankly, and the light just hit her. Everyone around looked at her with their mouths open, silent. Zhang Yansheng closed her eyes and took a deep breath, then she opened her eyes and strode out of these people. Xu Lichen got up, staggered, and gestured to the director: ¡°Excuse me, Director Liu! That, I! That!¡± The director gestured hurriedly: ¡°Go ahead, go ahead, quickly go!¡± Xu Lichen said ¡°thank you¡± and hurried to chase after Zhang Yansheng. As soon as he left, everyone breathed a collective sigh of relief and began to discuss: ¡°Who is that? She¡¯s so amazing!¡± Everyone knows that Xu Lichen was introduced by Director Xie, and it is said that he is a young master of a financial backer¡¯s family. So, who is that beautiful girl? The cameraman shouted: ¡°Director! Director!¡± He hooked his finger to Director Liu. Director Liu leaned over and took a look. It turned out that the camera hadn¡¯t been turned off just now, and it was all recorded. ¡°Oh, play it for me!¡± Director Liu rubbed his chin, ¡°These two kids are really photogenic! This action is also beautiful, both of them might have been trained, right? They are really good seedlings¡­¡± Xu Lichen chased after her all the way: ¡°Zhang Yansheng! Zhang Yansheng!¡± He grabbed her arm and pulled her: ¡°What¡¯s wrong with you? Have you calmed down already? What are you angry about? Isn¡¯t it just going to school? My mother asked for leave for me, I¡¯m not playing truant¡­¡± Zhang Yansheng stopped and looked at him. Xu Lichen grinned and said, ¡°If you come here suddenly, then you must have heard about our family, right?¡± ¡°My mother has won a big victory. My dad has no civil capacity. She is now my dad¡¯s legal guardian, and all assets are in her hands.¡± He said triumphantly, ¡°I am her only child and these will all be mine from now on. I can live a hundred times better than others by lying down, eating, and drinking for the rest of my life. What¡¯s the point of going to school now? It doesn¡¯t matter. What about those in Class 1 and Class 2, what about those who are admitted to prestigious schools? They will work for me in the future.¡± This is indeed the truth, but it made Zhang Yansheng angry. She waved her fist. Xu Lichen caught her wrist quickly! ¡°Stop fighting! Stop fighting! Please!¡± Xu Lichen felt that his head became bald, ¡°What are you so angry about? It was all acting just now, so it¡¯s not true! They would not dare to really kick me! Only you can! The tricks have been messed up and I don¡¯t know if the scene was a success or not, or if we¡¯ll have to remake it tomorrow.¡± Zhang Yansheng¡¯s fist seemed to suddenly lose strength and hung down. Xu Lichen breathed a sigh of relief. ¡°I¡¯m telling you, don¡¯t worry about me. You don¡¯t understand, but filming is interesting, and I¡¯m really happy.¡± He whispered, ¡°It¡¯s true, hey, you won¡¯t understand even if I tell you, you really would not understand¡­¡± His voice stopped abruptly. In the night, he clearly saw Zhang Yansheng shed tears. Since he saw her in the corridor for the first time, Zhang Yansheng has been a girl who was cold and arrogant. She was also very irritable, beating people if they didn¡¯t agree with her. All the students know that Zhang Yansheng is an alpha. She is not a school flower, but a school grass is more appropriate to describe her. Xu Lichen never thought that one day, he would see Zhang Yansheng crying in front of him. Zhang Yansheng cried silently, and looked particularly weak in the night. Xu Lichen was a little frightened, and hesitated: ¡°You, why are you crying¡­¡± Zhang Yansheng couldn¡¯t control her tears. She raised her eyes to look at him. ¡°Is there anything I would not understand?¡±, she asked. ¡°It¡¯s not like that, I just want to be someone else.¡± ¡°But it¡¯s not that I don¡¯t want to be myself.¡± Before, every time she goes out, she would apply a thick makeup to cover her dark circles and pale skin. Her hair was dyed like a demon and there are many tattoos and piercings on her skin¡­ She did that because she just wanted to erase ¡®herself¡¯ and don¡¯t want to be ¡®herself¡¯ anymore. She broke herself, but she couldn¡¯t fix herself and could only remain as dregs all over the place. Both of them. But in this life, so much has obviously changed. Why did Xu Lichen still come this far? Zhang Yansheng felt particularly powerless. The indifferent and grinning expressions on Xu Lichen¡¯s face faded away. The light of the street lamp hit the leaves, casting a mottled shadow on his face, flickering in the night breeze. There was no expression on the boy¡¯s face. Because they are shooting a fashion drama, their outdoor scene is taken in the urban area. It was only in the middle of the night that the road was empty, with a little sound, as if there is an echo. After a long time, Xu Lichen let out a long breath. ¡°Zhang Yansheng, f*ck you, f*ck you¡­¡± he murmured, ¡°You are such a deity.¡± In this world, how can there be someone who knows yourself better than yourself? Zhang Yansheng didn¡¯t expect that in this life, she would still be the same as in her previous life, sitting shoulder to shoulder on the road with Xu Lichen, smoking and drinking. At her feet were a dozen beers and cigarette butts picked up from a 24-hour convenience store. She listened to the young man talk about the extremely disturbing thing that happened. ¡°The two bodyguards couldn¡¯t hold him, and one of them even had a broken arm. My dad was held down, the nurse gave him an injection, and he stopped struggling.¡± ¡°They stuffed him into the car and left.¡± ¡°From beginning to end, I seemed to be dreaming. I don¡¯t know who to help, I have no strength and I have been sweating all the time.¡± ¡°When the car left, my mother came over and hugged me. She told me that she could ask for leave from school and let me rest for a few days.¡± ¡°She said that I can go wherever I want to play, and I can come back after I have relaxed enough.¡± ¡°Her voice was very gentle, very gentle¡­ telling me that we won.¡± ¡°Zhang Yansheng.¡± After all, the young man couldn¡¯t bear it and burst into tears, ¡°Lend me your shoulder.¡± Zhang Yansheng gave a soft ¡°um¡±. Xu Lichen pressed his forehead on Zhang Yansheng¡¯s shoulders, and his tears wetted her clothes. ¡°I didn¡¯t know this would happen¡­¡± ¡°She said she just wanted to talk to my dad. She said my dad refused to see her.¡± So, he made an appointment with his father. His father, who was not so vigilant towards him, took only two bodyguards, and finally got caught in an ambush by his wife. And the young man witnessed with his own eyes the cruelest fight that took place between his biological parents. In the previous life, she said: Hey, I¡¯ll lend you my shoulder! He said: Forget it. My shoulder is almost the same as yours. You can¡¯t even carry your little shoulders by yourself, so keep it to yourself. He said: When the time comes that you can carry yourself first, and then lend it to me. ¡°Zhang Yansheng¡­¡± In this life, he cried like a child on her shoulder. ¡°She lied to me.¡± ¡°She lied to me!¡± CH 117 Enchantress12-16 minutes 29.03.2022 ¡°Zhang Yansheng!!!¡± Xu Lichen woke up with a scream. In the suite, Zhang Yansheng looked up silently, got up and walked into the bedroom. ¡°What¡¯s the matter? Your face is as white as a ghost?¡± She stood by the bed and asked, ¡°Why did you sweat so much?¡± Xu Lichen looked at her panting, still a little confused. It took two seconds before he realized that this was the hotel suite he was staying in. Yesterday, they drank a bunch of beers on the road outside. And when they came back to the hotel, he drank red wine again, and then it was cut off. ¡°I¡­¡± His head was tingling, his throat was being pricked, and his body showed all the symptoms of a hangover. ¡°I had a bad dream!¡± Zhang Yansheng was speechless: ¡°What was your dream about?¡± His face turned pale with fright. ¡°You don¡¯t know! You definitely can¡¯t think of who I dreamed of, I actually dreamed of Wang Qian!¡± Xu Lichen rubbed his painful temple and said, ¡°How could I dream of her, it¡¯s amazing! I also dreamed of you. In my dream, the three of us were pretty good. We were all in Class 8, sticking together every day, having fun everywhere, playing truant and skipping school. In the end, you and I were expelled from the school together.¡± Zhang Yansheng was stunned. Xu Lichen lowered his head and rubbed his head, still somehow senseless, and then he said: ¡°I dreamed that I like you and you like me too, and then Wang Qian got in the way all day and broke us up. Later, you stayed in K City, and I went abroad.¡± ¡°When I went abroad, I started drinking and taking drugs! Living a befuddled life! I became so thin and skinny, and can be knocked with a single blow.¡± ¡°Since I live such a f*cking life, I really dare not return to China to see you. I have been hiding abroad and did not go back. Then one day, Wang Qian suddenly called me and told me that¡­ you are dead!¡± ¡°D*mn, I can still feel the sudden contraction of my heart when I heard that you were dead!!! It was uncomfortable! It was so uncomfortable! Why did you die? She said that you were secretly drugged by someone else, and your body was allergic to drugs! D*mn, what kind of death was that! Why did you die so badly? I can¡¯t believe it! That is not like you!¡± Zhang Yansheng felt her throat dry, and asked with difficulty: ¡°What happened later?¡± ¡°Later, I flew back to China. I was going to attend your funeral! Then that plane! The plane!¡± Xu Lichen¡¯s face turned pale again, the lifelike feeling in his dream still remained, and his heart contracted to death, ¡°Then that plane, it was going to crash! Going down! We keep falling down! Everyone was screaming! I was weightless! My heart was particularly uncomfortable!¡± ¡°F*ck!¡± Xu Lichen first covered his face, then rubbed it hard, and kept murmuring, ¡°It was terrible! It was terrible! It was so terrible!¡± The feeling of falling down and approaching death gave chills all over him. He looked up: ¡°Zhang Yansheng, tell me, this dream¡­¡± Plop! Zhang Yansheng gave him a big slap on his face. Xu Lichen¡¯s face turned to the side and became frozen: ¡°¡­¡± Zhang Yan asked, ¡°Are you awake now?¡± Xu Lichen covered his face, nodding vigorously like a little wife. ¡°It¡¯s just a dream! Look at you now! I am here and you are here, too. Wang Qian got out of here a long time ago, and neither of us is in Class 8. Do you believe in your dreams or what you¡¯re seeing in front of you?¡± ¡°Believe, I believe in what I¡¯m seeing now.¡± Xu Lichen said weakly. Zhang Yansheng said in disgust, ¡°Then go take a bath! You stink! You have the smell of alcohol all over you!¡± Xu Lichen got out of bed and went to the bathroom with drooping eyebrows. When he came out with a fragrant wash, he took a turn and found Zhang Yansheng in the study table. ¡°?¡± He asked, ¡°What are you doing?¡± Zhang Yansheng immediately wrote on her report: ¡°Catching up with my homework.¡± Xu Lichen: ¡°¡­¡± What happened to the sudden chaos regarding homework! After waking up, upon hearing the word ¡®homework¡¯, why did he suddenly start to panic, feeling the tightness on his chest and shortness of breath again?! Obviously, he didn¡¯t feel this way when his classmates gave him the homework a few days ago! Xu Lichen clutched his heart and breathed a sigh of relief, and tentatively said, ¡°Then you should go back to K City first¡­¡± Zhang Yansheng looked at him like a knife. ¡°What about me?¡± Xu Lichen explained, ¡°I have two more scenes today and tomorrow! Then, my character will be killed! I will go back tomorrow after filming!¡± Zhang Yansheng said, ¡°I¡¯ll wait for you.¡± Xu Lichen couldn¡¯t help it, so he had to say, ¡°Then will you just rest here in the hotel? I will try to come back as early as possible in the evening.¡± ¡°No need.¡± Zhang Yansheng closed his homework, ¡°I will accompany you.¡± Xu Lichen had the feeling of being stared at by the supervisor at work, so he felt really uncomfortable all over. On the way to the crew, Zhang Yansheng asked, ¡°Do you earn money from filming?¡± ¡°Yes! Why not?!¡± Xu Lichen patted his thigh, ¡°I rely on my ability to make money.¡± ¡°How much money?¡± ¡°Six hundred yuan a day.¡± Zhang Yansheng: ¡°¡­¡± Although she didn¡¯t know that this salary was slightly better than that of bit part actors, but¡­ ¡°So, you¡¯re living in a suite that costs 3,600 yuan a night, but with a salary of 600 yuan a day?¡± Xu Lichen retorted with a stubborn neck: ¡°That is not the same thing!¡± When they arrived at the set, Zhang Yansheng saw Xu Lichen go over to talk to the director. He kept smiling and put his hands together to make a confession. The director glanced at Zhang Yansheng, smiled and shook his head. Is he apologizing to the director for what happened yesterday? Xu Lichen has always had the eldest young master¡¯s temper, and his irritability is not lower than hers. When did it become like this? Zhang Yansheng felt strange. Xu Lichen got busy. Zhang Yansheng watched him quietly. Turning her head, she saw a young staff member peeking at her. She raised her chin: ¡°Bring me a chair.¡± It is so natural for him to assist others. So, the man naturally went to move a chair for her. When Zhang Yansheng sat down, the man stared blankly and asked others, ¡°Who the hell is that girl?¡± But no one knows. Zhang Yansheng observed Xu Lichen during filming. This is indeed Xu Lichen, who is unfamiliar to her. Not only does he have a handsome face, but his expression is also very smart. And it can be seen that he is serious and committed when filming. Guided by the director, he listened carefully and studied carefully. But in fact, Zhang Yansheng could see it. With his playful nature, what the director can give him is a character with only a few lines in the whole scene. It¡¯s really only better than the bit part actors. However, Zhang Yansheng saw happiness in his eyes. When she watched him get into the role, she clearly realized that with the help of his role, he temporarily broke free from reality, detached himself, and gained true happiness. She was also moved by the seriousness and obsession he showed. Because Xu Lichen in her previous life didn¡¯t have any reason to be so persistent in things, and no reason to lower his head and bend his waist to others. When Xu Lichen looked for Zhang Yansheng after filming, she had already disappeared. He took out his cellphone and found that she had left him a message saying that she would go back to the hotel first. She is such a moody woman! He really doesn¡¯t know when she is angry and when she is happy! She didn¡¯t stay when he told her to stay in the hotel. And when he wanted to ask her how she felt about his performance, she went back to the hotel! Xu Lichen is really on the edge of being bald!!! He had finished filming today¡¯s scene and called a car back to the hotel. On the way, he leaned his head on the car seat. When he was free, he couldn¡¯t help but think of the dream he had that morning again. It¡¯s a very realistic dream! So thrilling! He couldn¡¯t help but think of Zhang Yansheng in his dream. It was obviously Zhang Yansheng, but this Zhang Yansheng, whose face has thick makeup that you couldn¡¯t see her original appearance, inexplicably gave him a sense of vulnerability. No matter how arrogant and domineering she was, Xu Lichen could feel it in his dreams, that in fact, as long as she was hit harder, then she would be broken. It makes people feel distressed and sad. Back at the hotel, Zhang Yansheng was at the desk again. ¡°Ahem.¡± Xu Lichen asked, ¡°Are you still catching up on your homework?¡± Zhang Yansheng let out a ¡°hmm¡±. Xu Lichen involuntarily compared Zhang Yansheng in front of him with Zhang Yansheng in his dream¡­ As soon as Zhang Yansheng raised her eyes, Xu Lichen fought a cold war inwardly, and smiled immediately. Zhang Yansheng: ¡°?¡± Why is he faking a smile? ¡°Come here. Let¡¯s talk.¡± Zhang Yansheng sat down on the sofa in the living room. Xu Lichen also sat down. Zhang Yansheng asked straightforwardly: ¡°Do you want to be an actor in the future?¡± Xu Lichen was startled, silent for a few seconds, and said with great certainty: ¡°I think I just want to be an actor in the future! Yes, I want to be an actor!¡± He stared at Zhang Yansheng, for fear that she would say something against it. She was obviously neither his mother nor his father, but her words really had a huge impact on him. If Zhang Yansheng strongly opposes this, Xu Lichen will feel that he will be very bald again. However, Zhang Yansheng readily agreed: ¡°It¡¯s pretty good.¡± Xu Lichen breathed a sigh of relief, still a little unbelieving: ¡°Really?¡± Zhang Yansheng nodded: ¡°I think it¡¯s pretty good, but¡­¡± It¡¯s coming, it¡¯s coming! He knows that she must ambush him somewhere! Xu Lichen cheered up, but Zhang Yansheng asked him, ¡°Then do you know that the entertainment industry has a contempt chain?¡± Xu Lichen: ¡°?¡± Xu Lichen didn¡¯t chase the stars, Zhang Yansheng asked about his blind spot of knowledge. He shook his head honestly. Zhang Yansheng used popular science to him: ¡°All circles have chains of contempt, and the entertainment industry is no exception. Basically, those who act in stage plays look down on those who act in movies, those who act in movies look down on those who act in TV series, those who act in TV series look down on those who act in online dramas, and those who act in online dramas look down on those who join the variety shows. All of those look down on being an internet celebrity.¡± Xu Lichen: ¡°Puff!¡± I think it¡¯s funny. Zhang Yansheng said again: ¡°This is just a classification of the contempt chain, and there are other classification methods, like the contempt regarding one¡¯s academic background.¡± Xu Lichen: ¡°?¡± ¡°Acting is not just about acting as you say. You were introduced by Director Xie. What role did the director here give you? How many scenes? Is it more than 18 times? Six hundred yuan a day, I have inquired about it and that¡¯s it, which is a few more lines than an ordinary group act.¡± ¡°You said you want to be an actor, right? You wouldn¡¯t be so naive to think that you can become an actor by playing truant and absenteeism, fishing for three days and basking in the net for two days, and acting in groups for a few days, right?¡± Xu Lichen touched his neck: ¡°My mother asked the school for my leave!¡± He tried not to answer her. Because of her, he really looked so naive! That¡¯s exactly what he plans to do! Zhang Yansheng saw through him at a glance, sneered, and threw a pile of paper in his hand. ¡°While waiting for you to come back, I called Director Xie for advice. Acting is divided into academic and non-academic schools. Needless to say, academies despise non-academies.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t take the case of a non-academic celebrity who only came out being popular after 8 or 10 years. It has been said that it took 8 to 10 years to produce one. You are either from an academic background, so you will be excluded, you will be despised.¡± ¡°These are the admissions brochures of the Big Three ¨C BD, ZX, and SX. Please read them carefully.¡± Zhang Yansheng leaned back: ¡°The domestic academies mainly came out of these Big Three, and the others are just a little joke. If you really want to be an actor, check what the enrollment requirements are, what you should learn, and what you should practice. There are schools which require you to have a good college entrance examination score! You should go and study first. If you don¡¯t study well, then you won¡¯t even understand the script. So, still dreaming of being an actor?¡± ¡°Think about it yourself.¡± She glanced at the time, ¡°I booked a ticket this evening and will go back to K City first. If you miss class for one day, you cannot miss class for two days.¡± ¡°Think about your own business, think about it yourself. You are a grown-up man now, so make a decent plan for yourself.¡± CH 118 Enchantress12-15 minutes 30.03.2022 Zhang Yansheng flew back to K City by herself on Thursday night. When Zhang Huan saw her, he pretended to be concerned: ¡°Is Xiao Xu okay?¡± ¡°He¡¯s fine.¡± Zhang Yansheng said. She had already reached the stairs, but suddenly stopped and turned to look at Zhang Huan. Zhang Huan was inexplicable: ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± Zhang Yansheng stared at him for a moment, then suddenly said: ¡°It is his mother who did it.¡± A sentence with no beginning and no end, but when she stressed the word ¡°is¡±, Zhang Huan understood it as soon as he heard it. ¡°I knew it!¡± He yelled strangely, with an ¡®as expected¡¯ expression on his face. As soon as he raised his head, Zhang Yansheng¡¯s gaze at him felt a little cold, and a little faint. Zhang Huan shuddered suddenly for some reason, and said with a forced smile: ¡°Then you should rest early. Obviously, you have to go to school as soon as possible. Really, you were delayed for a day of school for the sake of their family¡¯s troubles¡­¡± Zhang Yansheng retracted her eyes and made a soft sound from her nasal cavity. Zhang Huan didn¡¯t hear clearly whether it was ¡°heh¡± or ¡°hmp¡±, anyway, it was a sound with a little bit of contempt and coldness. When Zhang Yansheng went upstairs, he rubbed the goose bumps on his arms. Seriously, it¡¯s not okay to scare Dad! But women, like Mother Xu, are really terrible! Fortunately, he was not so unlucky to meet such a woman! On Monday, Zhang Yansheng seemed to catch a glimpse of Xu Lichen during the break time, but she never saw him again during the lunch time. In the evening she sent him a message to confirm: ¡°Are you back?¡± Xu Lichen replied quickly: ¡°I¡¯m dead! Someone should burn paper offerings!¡± Zhang Yansheng: ¡°?¡± Xu Lichen: ¡°Crazy make-up lessons!!! (I¡¯mdead.jpg)¡± Zhang Yansheng: ¡°Puff!¡± This is the retribution for being absent from school for a week. Xu Lichen: ¡°I talked to my mother over the weekend and told her that I want to be an actor in the future. She agreed and she was quite happy. She went to arrange various training sessions for me. She also promised me that if I could be admitted to one of the Big Three, she would get me a film and television company and a gold manager.¡± Zhang Yansheng: ¡°I forgot to tell you that there is another chain of contempt, where those who win the grand prize look down on those who can¡¯t get the prize. It¡¯s those major awards, not the kind of messy small awards.¡± Xu Lichen: ¡°You just wait!¡± She¡¯s looking down on people again in such an aggressive method! This master will show it to you in 10 years! Soon it was a holiday in May, and the whole Zhang family gathered at the old lady¡¯s place. Zhao Lanfen said to the old lady in detail: ¡°The results are pretty good. They are all boasting about it on the internet, and we will definitely not lose. It is now being calculated. Just wait a month or two, and we can get our first share. It¡¯s this method, because it will always be broadcast on the internet after the episode is released by the TV station, and we will continue to receive a share¡­¡± This is about Zhang Qi¡¯s TV series. The old lady kept nodding and sighed: ¡°Right now, the operating method of many industries has been changed by technology. The old generation of us can¡¯t keep up with the changes of the times. In the future, it will be up to the children.¡± Zhao Lanfen¡¯s face lit up: ¡°That¡¯s right!¡± She asked Zhang Yansheng with concern again: ¡°Is Yanyan movie about to be released?¡± Zhang Yansheng nodded: ¡°Yes, it¡¯s earlier than I expected.¡± Zhao Lanfen asked, ¡°That won¡¯t affect the quality, right?¡± Zhang Yansheng said, ¡°It shouldn¡¯t be.¡± Zhao Lanfen felt that the profitability of Zhang Qi¡¯s TV series was a sure thing, and she felt very down-to-earth, so she smiled and said to Zhang Yansheng: ¡°When the time comes, it depends on the situation. Even if you lose money, you have to have a good mentality. Originally, it was for you to try, but the family didn¡¯t expect you to make money.¡± ¡°I know.¡± Zhang Yansheng said, ¡°I have a very good mentality.¡± Zhang Huan turned his head and rolled his eyes. On the way home, Zhang Yansheng sat in the co-pilot seat. Zhang Huan said, ¡°Look at your uncle and aunt. What ¡®very good performance record¡¯, ridiculed on the internet, a particularly stupid story¡­¡± Zhang Yansheng was surprised: ¡°Did you still search about it on the internet?¡± Zhang Huan coughed and said: ¡°Isn¡¯t this because of the push technology? Both on cellphones and computers everywhere.¡± Zhang Yansheng stared at him: ¡°Are you nervous?¡± ¡°Why should I get nervous about it?¡± Zhang Huan didn¡¯t admit it, ¡°Your uncle and aunt are right about one thing. I don¡¯t expect you to make money. It¡¯s okay if you lose it, anyway you still have Dad!¡± It¡¯s okay to lose tens of millions of yuan. Liang Yingying rolled her eyes in the back seat. If he has so much money to burn, he can just give it to her if he has nowhere to spend it! Why do you have to give it to a child just to lose it?! Zhang Yansheng asked slowly and rationally: ¡°Would you like to go to the premiere?¡± Zhang Huan immediately said, ¡°Yes, yes, yes! Where is the premiere going to be held? I will go with you then!¡± Zhang Yansheng said, ¡°It¡¯s currently set in B City for now.¡± B City is the capital. ¡°Okay.¡± Zhang Huan said affirmatively, ¡°Let¡¯s go together then!¡± Zhang Heling in the back row: ¡°Sister! Sister!!!¡± ¡°¡­¡° Zhang Yansheng didn¡¯t look back, ¡°Fine! I¡¯ll take you there as well!¡± Zhang Heling was satisfied. Zhang Shuocheng: ¡°I¡­¡± ¡°You are too young.¡± Zhang Yansheng refused. Zhang Shuocheng: ¡°Humph!¡± Liang Yingying didn¡¯t say a word. If she proposes to go with them, what if Zhang Huan not only rejects her, but also arranges some work for her? Just like before, he let her take care of the children during the holidays. Liang Yingying would rather live on, not being noticed by Zhang Huan, not arranging things for her, and lingering freely. It is also good to enter the state of retirement early. At least her girlfriends are envious, they still don¡¯t know where they will go to retire in the future. One by one, they all began to plan how to return to their hometown and find honest people to take care of them. In July, Zhang Yansheng came home one day and met Zhang Huan on the first floor. ¡°You¡¯re back.¡± He asked lovingly, ¡°Would you like to have dinner?¡± Now, it¡¯s almost 10 o¡¯clock when Zhang Yansheng comes home every day. So, she is a little surprised: ¡°You haven¡¯t slept yet?¡± ¡°My daughter has to study until midnight, while I go to bed so early. I¡¯m afraid my conscience is disturbed.¡± Zhang Huan said with a smile. Zhang Yansheng: ¡°?¡± What is wrong with him today, so garrulous? While still talking about trivial matters, he followed Zhang Yansheng upstairs. ¡°How is your final exam review going?¡± ¡°Do not be too tired.¡± ¡°Why don¡¯t you go to a spa on the weekend?¡± ¡°If you do not want to go out, I can call a masseuse to do a home service massage, so you can relax.¡± Along the way, he followed her until they reached the door of Zhang Yansheng¡¯s room. Zhang Yansheng couldn¡¯t bear it: ¡°If you have something to say, then just tell me.¡± ¡°It¡¯s nothing.¡± Zhang Huan gathered his fairly dense hair together, leaning his elbows on the wall, and said, ¡°Well, your Sister Qiqi got the share on the drama. Your grandmother asked your uncle for the financial statements.¡± Zhang Yansheng declared her innocence and asked, ¡°Did she make a lot of money? Don¡¯t worry, it doesn¡¯t matter how much others earn, it doesn¡¯t matter to me, I don¡¯t really care.¡± Zhang Huan was silent for a while: ¡°The return on investment is 1%.¡± Zhang Yansheng: ¡°¡­¡± ¡°Although I¡¯m just a high school student¡­¡± She hesitated and said, ¡°But this data¡­¡± She did some mental calculation, one year worth of investment, but only earned a month of pocket money? ¡°It¡¯s rounded up.¡± Zhang Huan said quietly, ¡°In fact, it¡¯s only 0.99%.¡± Zhang Yansheng said, ¡°¡­are you serious?¡± Zhang Huan continued: ¡°Of course. Why am I making this joke with you? Your grandmother also praised her.¡± Zhang Yansheng said: ¡°My grandma?¡± Zhang Huan nodded: ¡°Your grandma said that it¡¯s good if you don¡¯t lose money, what you earn is experience.¡± In fact, the old lady¡¯s exact words at the time were: ¡°It¡¯s good if you don¡¯t lose money. What you earn is experience. Besides, Qiqi is still so young. Thinking about Xiao Huan¡¯s first investment back then, he lost all his money, so he hid and cried in anger. Your dad and I laughed all night.¡± After Zhang Huan finished speaking, he looked at Zhang Yansheng lovingly: ¡°So you have to be mentally prepared. It doesn¡¯t matter if you lose money, what you¡¯ll earn is experience.¡± The peerless father is here! Yanyan should be happy! Zhang Yansheng was silent for a moment. ¡°Just give up.¡± She opened the door and said outrageously, ¡°I won¡¯t lose.¡± Bang! No one appreciated his good will and it was even destroyed with a closed door. Zhang Huan was angry: ¡°¡­You really don¡¯t know how high the sky is! So naive! Humph!¡± Zhang Yansheng looked at the time. It was past 10 o¡¯clock. She didn¡¯t call and only sent a message to Mo Lin, telling her about Zhang Qi¡¯s return of investment. Mo Lin quickly replied: ¡°I didn¡¯t expect their data to be so watery. The data obtained by people outside the project is still unreliable. But it¡¯s okay, at least they didn¡¯t lose money, just treat it as an experience.¡± But in fact, in another sense, it can also be said to be a loss. Because if you don¡¯t make this investment and use this money for other things, you can achieve a much higher rate of return than 1%. But¡­ forget it, just don¡¯t lose it. You can¡¯t write two words in one stroke. After all, it¡¯s all Zhang family¡¯s money. After the final exam, Zhang Yansheng looked at the results. Xu Lichen¡¯s ranking has regressed, but he is still good and will not drop out of class. Sure enough, things at home still have an impact. She initiated a video call for Xu Lichen: ¡°Are you going to the premiere?¡± Xu Lichen said: ¡°Wait a minute!¡± He moved, walked to the window, and opened the curtains: ¡°Ta-da ta-da~!¡± The scenery outside is not K City, and Zhang Yansheng can recognize it. ¡°Huh? You¡¯re already in B City?¡± Zhang Yansheng was surprised, ¡°What are you doing there so early?¡± ¡°I¡¯m here for class, acting class.¡± Xu Lichen said, ¡°My mother has a fancy for a teacher and wants to invite him to K City to give me a private class. However, he refused to come and say that instead of performing a one-man show, an actor should interact with other actors. My mother and I both thought it made sense, so I came over. Let me tell you, it is very interesting! And the teacher praised me several times and said that I was talented.¡± Zhang Yansheng: ¡°I¡¯m glad that you¡¯re happy.¡± ¡°You should come here early, let¡¯s play in B City for a few days.¡± Xu Lichen said. ¡°B City has a sunny weather now.¡± Zhang Yansheng said, ¡°Take your class well.¡± Zhang Heling tangled around her after the holiday: ¡°Sister, let¡¯s go shopping, buy clothes, eat cakes, and do our nails.¡± These activities¡­ Zhang Yansheng did not hesitate: ¡°Okay! Let¡¯s go!¡± The sisters went out. Yue Song¡¯s roommates did not return home during the summer vacation. Because the internship that Yue Song arranged for Qian Wei last year benefited Qian Wei a lot, and the roommates had a good relationship with Yue Song, so they asked if he could also help arrange something for them. Yue Song has arranged for everyone to be interns together. Qian Wei made a suggestion with the other two roommates, so everyone decided to invite Yue Song to dinner together to express their gratitude. They are already tired of eating at the small restaurants near the school. After discussing it, they all decided to go to an internet celebrity restaurant, so they took a taxi together. While in the car, Zhang Heling also took out a printed piece of paper: ¡°Sister, I want to do these things today.¡± Zhang Yansheng took it over and checked on what kind of plan it was. It¡¯s actually for the XX Shopping Mall, what are the shops for dining, drinking, and so on. The place encircled in red is where Zhang Heling wants to go. ¡°First, let¡¯s eat some dessert, then go shopping and buy snacks, then play games in the amusement hall, then do our nails, and then have dinner at the internet celebrity restaurant, okay?¡± Zhang Yansheng felt that the arrangement was good, and said with satisfaction, ¡°Okay.¡± When she grows up, she learns how to arrange things. Not bad. CH 119 The two sisters went out at noon. When they arrived at the mall, they had dessert first. There are no big brands in this mall, but there are many small brands at affordable prices. This price level seems to be like coins to them, so they just turn into buy-buy-buy mode at once. They went to play video games and won a bunch of dolls from the claw machine, and distributed them to the onlooking children. While the sisters sat down and started to do their nails, Yue Song and his roommates set off from the dormitory, ready to go to the internet celebrity restaurant for dinner. Zhang Yansheng looked at the time and said to the manicurist: ¡°Try to hurry up.¡± Even though it was a working day, if you arrived too late, I¡¯m afraid you will have to line up. When Yue Song and his roommates were seated in the restaurant, Zhang Yansheng and her sister settled their accounts and came out of the nail salon, preparing to go up two floors to the restaurant. On the upper floor, there are all kinds of training schools for children. From taekwondo to mental arithmetic, calligraphy to guzheng, there is also a Lego World, an infant swimming shop, and a children¡¯s play area. A children¡¯s train slowly circled the corridor. A ticket costs 40 yuan, the same price for adults and children. Zhang Heling couldn¡¯t help but walk to the train side: ¡°Sister, that¡­¡± ¡°That¡¯s for the little babies, you¡¯re not a little baby anymore.¡± Zhang Yansheng stopped her and dragged her back, ¡°Let¡¯s go eat. There might be a long queue if we go there later.¡± ¡°Sister, there¡¯s a cotton candy shop over there!¡± Zhang Heling found something better. ¡°You already picked the restaurant yourself, why do you still want to eat cotton candy?¡± Zhang Heling regretted it! In fact, in the sense of eating alone, burgers, fries, and pizza are more attractive to her than internet celebrity restaurants. But in the guide, she downloaded, everyone strongly promoted the Internet celebrity restaurant, and it has a high recommendation index! And it carries the word ¡®internet celebrity¡¯! For Zhang Yansheng, ¡®internet celebrity¡¯ means low. But for Zhang Heling, a little kid who can only reach the world of adults through the internet, going to a place with the word ¡®internet celebrity¡¯ to check in feels like an adult! Very social! But when she saw the cotton candy shop, she had already forgotten her plan to check the internet celebrity restaurant! ¡°Sister! It¡¯s just a small spoonful of sugar!¡± Zhang Heling was reasonable with Zhang Yansheng, ¡°It just looks big. It will not affect the regular meal.¡± Zhang Heling finally got her wish. She knew that her sister was a reasonable person. She happily went up the escalator with the cotton candy stylishly shaped in three colors ¨C pink, yellow, and blue ¡ª and continued to the dining floor. When they reached the upper floor, she looked around and saw the sign of the internet celebrity restaurant she wanted to go to: ¡°Sister, over there!¡± She was holding the cotton candy in a good mood and walked forward with a bounce ¡ª Zhang Yansheng really looked up to her as she showed her grown up side; but when she was so happy, she was still a child! Zhang Yansheng silently followed behind. The corridor is wide, one side has empty spaces in the center of the building, and the other side has the floor-to-ceiling glass windows of the restaurants next to each other. Several of them are internet celebrity restaurants. Through the floor-to-ceiling glass windows, you can see the customers dining inside, and the interesting decoration with different styles. Approaching their meal point, there were more people than expected. Seeing that the restaurant in front of them was the one they were going to, Zhang Yansheng was about to shout to Zhang Heling ¡°Slow down, don¡¯t hit anyone¡±, when suddenly there was a commotion in front of her! ¡°Get out of the way! Get out of the way!!!¡± A man pushed away the person in the way and ran in the direction of the escalator. He also has a knife in his hand! Behind him, four or five men hurriedly pursued him: ¡°Stop!¡± As the light of the knife flashed, the quick-reacting people in front of them avoided both sides. All of a sudden, Zhang Heling, who was running forward with a cotton candy, was directly exposed to the knife-wielding man ¡ª she was still firmly blocking his way to escape. At this time, it was obvious that the child was still a child after all. Zhang Heling was dumbfounded and stayed where she was holding the cotton candy, unable to move! She looked at the hideous man rushing over with a knife in front of her, only to feel her limbs stiff, but her heart seemed to jump out of her throat! She saw the fierce light in the man¡¯s eyes as he stretched out a hand towards her. It doesn¡¯t show that he was trying to push her away, but that posture is more like trying to grab her. Seeing that there is no escape for him, who else can be more suitable as a hostage than a thin and slender little girl? However, Zhang Heling suddenly felt a tightness in her waist, followed by her feet off the ground, and her whole body was lifted into the air! She heard an exclamation. But the arm that picked her up was around her waist, causing her body to be thrown over with her strength, and she was slammed on that person¡¯s side with her face facing the ground. When the exclamation fell, she turned her head to look, and sure enough, it was her sister who picked her up at a critical moment! She knew it! Her sister is the strongest in the universe! Zhang Yansheng stepped forward and picked up Zhang Heling. She lifted her knees, spread her legs, and gave a kick all in one go. Before the onlookers screamed, the man with the knife had already flown out and hit the ground heavily. The knife in his hand also fell from his hand, and the person who immediately caught up with him immediately kicked it aside from a distance. They rushed up and held him down. All this happened in a blink of an eye. Zhang Yansheng closed her legs and was about to ask Zhang Heling if she was okay. When she turned her head, she saw a table of young boys looking at her intently on the other side of the floor-to-ceiling glass window in the restaurant. One of them has deep eyebrows, a straight nose, a perfect jawline, and a face that she can¡¯t forget. It has been two full years since she was reborn, and the memories of her previous life hidden deep in her heart suddenly came upon seeing his face at this time. At the last moment when she realized that she was about to face death, lost her strength, unable to speak, and her heart was gripped by great fear and remorse, the handsome young man kept holding her hand and comforted her gently with a gentle voice, telling her not to be afraid. She still clearly remembered his dry and warm palms. She also knew that they lived under the same sun, and they would meet again sooner or later in this life ¡ª as long as she waited patiently in that place until that day of the year, she would definitely wait until he appeared. She was only 15 years old when she was born again. She was very patient with the life that she had already gone through once and already knew how to go on. She was not anxious because she could not find him temporarily after the shocking encounter in the mall. But Zhang Yansheng did not expect that they would meet so early in this life. This must be God¡¯s will. Yue Song and the others chose a position close to the floor-to-ceiling glass window. They sat down, ordered food, and occasionally laughed lightly. When the waiter put the first dish on the table, there was a commotion outside. Everyone, including the waiters, naturally turned their heads and looked at the corridor outside. The beautiful little girl was holding a colorful cotton candy and standing outside the glass window at their table, as if she had been fixed on that position. The knife-wielding man stretched out his hand to her. At a critical moment, when everyone else seemed to be slowing down the flow of time, a young girl dressed exactly like the little girl seemed to be speeding up, stepped forward, picked up the little girl in the waist, raised her knees and extended her legs, and kicked the thug flying with one leg. Her body is flexible and powerful, her legs stretch smoothly, and her upper body leans slightly in reverse with the force of her legs. The leg she used for kicking stretched diagonally upwards, not only forming a perfect balance of force with the body, but also slender, straight, firm, and beautiful, making people¡¯s eyes firmly attracted to her and difficult to move away. The boys who were surprised by the legs even noticed her face when the girl put her legs back and turned her face, and then they were surprised again. That face is very beautiful and distinctive. Because it¡¯s rare for a girl to have such a fierce heroic aura between her brows and eyes. Thinking back to the astonishing explosive power of the moment when she kicked the thug just now, they know that this heroic aura has its origin. Of course, Yue Song knows who she is. Zhang Yansheng. From the first time he saw her in person and remembered her face, it was hard to forget her again. Later, he saw her videos one after another and knew her name¡­ Up to now, he has been paying attention to her silently for more than a year. She hasn¡¯t made those videos since October last year. But in the school life uploaded by her classmates occasionally, she can be seen flashing by from time to time. Yue Song always felt in his heart that high school students were still only underage children, so he knew that he could really get acquainted with her through many channels, but he resisted meeting her prematurely. But he knew that sooner or later they would really meet, as long as she grew up. He just didn¡¯t expect that this day would come much earlier than he expected. This is probably God¡¯s will. Qian Wei and the others suddenly stopped when they saw the beautiful girl turning her head. Her gaze penetrated the glass and stared straight at Yue Song. Yue Song also stared straight at her. Glass is superfluous and the existence of others is air. The eyes of the girl and the young man collided through the glass, staring at each other, never looking away, as if they were destined to meet. Qian Wei¡¯s mentality has collapsed for all three of them!!! These days, the senior sisters who are still in the school dormitory have found jobs, rented houses, and gradually moved out of the dormitory. On the occasion of parting, the senior sisters did not leave regrets for their youth, and they all expressed their secret feelings before leaving. Yue Song has rejected the confessions of the three senior sisters these days! Using facts to teach Qian Wei and the other roommates, that there are actually only two types of people in the world ¡ª Good-looking people and et cetera. Some of the men who pursued the thug kicked away the knife, some rushed up to hold the man down, and his arms were put on his back and handcuffed. Others took out their IDs and showed their identities to the masses, telling everyone not to panic. It turned out that the police had received a report from the masses and sent policemen in plain clothes to catch the wanted criminal. And Zhang Heling was kicking her legs, she was so uncomfortable! She was hanging on her sister¡¯s arm, face down, in an inverted U-shaped posture, her feet were off the ground, and her abdomen was strangled, so she couldn¡¯t breathe properly. She kicked her legs: ¡°Sister!¡± She wanted to struggle down. Instead of putting her down, Zhang Yansheng turned her upside down, turned her around for half a circle, and hugged her in her arms. Zhang Heling was startled and hurriedly opened her four claws, like an octopus. She put her arms around Zhang Yansheng¡¯s neck and wrapped her legs on her waist ¡ª this is a koala hug. She was even holding the cotton candy in her hand, it was all like this, the cotton candy hadn¡¯t fallen! Zhang Yansheng carried a large number of shopping bags in one hand and Zhang Heling easily in the other hand, and strode into the restaurant. Zhang Heling hurriedly reminded her: ¡°Wrong, you went the wrong way, not this one!¡± She chose the internet celebrity restaurant next door. However, Zhang Yansheng turned a deaf ear. She hugged Zhang Heling and walked directly into the wrong restaurant. Ignoring the question of ¡°For how many?¡± from the lady who welcomed them, she went straight to the table with four young boys sitting by the window and stopped, looking at Yue Song. Yue Song also looked at her. Without the glass blocking, the two of them could see each other more clearly. Zhang Heling was in Zhang Yansheng¡¯s arms, like a little hamster, glancing left and right, feeling the atmosphere weird. After a few seconds, she heard a nice voice asking, ¡°Are you okay?¡± Her sister Zhang Yansheng said: ¡°I¡¯m fine. Did it scare you?¡± Yue Song pursed his lips and smiled, and his eyes were shining: ¡°A little bit.¡± It was mainly because he was afraid that the girls would get hurt. Zhang Yansheng said: ¡°I¡¯m so sorry, why don¡¯t we do it like this, let me treat you for this meal.¡± Qian Wei and the other two felt that the world was crazy. What¡¯s even crazier is that their school roommate didn¡¯t even refuse, and said with a smile: ¡°Okay, thank you very much. Leave your phone number and we will invite you next time.¡± The girl agreed without thinking: ¡°Okay.¡± There was no opening of ¡°Hello, I am XXX¡±, and no request of ¡°Can I get to know you?¡±. The two of them seemed to have known each other in their previous lives, so the achievement of exchanging phone numbers was naturally achieved. Other men: Is this the fucking world of beautiful people? Their tears fell. CH 120 Enchantress13-16 minutes 01.04.2022 Zhang Yansheng called the waiter to pay the bill only to find out why she felt that her arms were full, she was still holding Zhang Heling! As soon as she loosened her hand and let Zhang Heling slide down, Qian Wei suddenly patted the table: ¡°Ah! You are! It¡¯s you!¡± Zhang Yansheng/Zhang Heling: ¡°?¡± ¡°You are that girl! You are that girl!¡± Qian Wei became excited, ¡°Koala hugged the female alpha!¡± He just thought how the look of this girl¡¯s hug gesture was so familiar! She is the girl who was on fire for a while last year. Later, she said that he would not make a video, so the popularity gradually decreased. Such a shameful title can be said to be a man of God. Zhang Yansheng was speechless. Yue Song¡¯s eyes are full of smiles: ¡°We followed you on the video platform.¡± Seeing the smile in his eyes and thinking of those videos with fake acting skills, which has left a black history on her life like this, people like Zhang Yansheng who are so calm want to hold their foreheads. Yue Song smiled even more. He watched Zhang Yansheng input his phone number and looked up at him. He said: ¡°Yue Song. The Yue is for the mountain, the Song is for the pine tree.¡± He also finished typing Zhang Yansheng¡¯s phone number. Zhang Yansheng said, ¡°My name is¡­¡± ¡°Zhang Yansheng. The Yan for the wild goose, Sheng for the loud voice of hope.¡± The corners of Yue Song¡¯s mouth curled up, ¡°I know.¡± The two people looked at each other again. Zhang Yansheng saw the temperature in Yue Song¡¯s gaze. He was not impatient, but rather very calm. Her heart suddenly calmed down. She did not ask Yue Song why he knew her name on the spot. In this life, neither she nor Xu Lichen will ever be short-lived again. The future is infinite. She has a lifetime to trace the fate that happened with Yue Song before they met. The waiter came and Zhang Yansheng paid the bill. Qian Wei and the others had never experienced such a thing of being treated by a beautiful girl who they had never known, so they were all a little at a loss. But Yue was relieved, as if the money paid by the girl was not money. A few hundred yuan! Yue Song asked, ¡°Would you like to eat here?¡± Zhang Heling hurriedly said, ¡°We are going to the next one! Uncle¡­ Big Brother, the next one is recommended with five stars, and this one is only recommended with four and a half stars!¡± Qian Wei looked very old, like a 30-year-old, Zhang Heling wanted to call everyone at this table uncle, but when she saw Yue Song¡¯s handsome young face just like jade, she subconsciously changed her mind halfway through. Zhang Yansheng patted Zhang Heling lightly on the top of her head and said, ¡°Yes, we are going to the one next to this restaurant.¡± It¡¯s not that she doesn¡¯t want to talk more with Yue Song. In fact, when she saw Yue Song again in this life, there were thousands of words surging in her chest. But at the same time, she clearly felt that this young man, who had been in her heart since she was reborn, was actually a complete stranger to her. Those thousands of words can¡¯t be spit out. But still, there will be ample time for that later. She said, ¡°We¡¯ll go first, let¡¯s get in touch later.¡± Yue Song nodded: ¡°I¡¯ll contact you later.¡± He watched Zhang Yansheng lead Zhang Heling away, as if they were not strangers who had only met today and only reported their names. They seemed to have known each other for many years, but they just had a chance encounter today. ¡°Otherwise, don¡¯t eat it.¡± A roommate said nonchalantly. Another roommate seconded: ¡°I¡¯m full.¡± Yue Song: ¡°¡­?¡± Qian Wei turned into lemon essence and said bitterly: ¡°Who can eat a belly of dog food?!¡± Zhang Yansheng took Zhang Heling to the restaurant next door and got a seat smoothly. After ordering the must-order signature dishes recommended on the Internet, Zhang Heling began to ask soulfully: ¡°Sister, what do they mean by following you on the video platform?¡± Zhang Yansheng said absent-mindedly: ¡°My classmates shot some videos and posted them on the platform, and they saw them.¡± Zhang Heling immediately took out her mobile phone and asked, ¡°Which platform? What are the keywords?¡± After watching all those videos, Zhang Heling¡¯s whole body was sour! ¡°This is too much! This is too much!¡± She kept muttering. Zhang Yansheng: ¡°Huh?¡± Zhang Heling complained tearfully: ¡°You didn¡¯t even tell me about such great videos with your classmates!¡± Zhang Yansheng: ¡°¡­¡± Her sister¡¯s complaint was further escalated: ¡°You don¡¯t even shoot one with me!¡± She wants to be koala-hugged by her as well! Zhang Yansheng had a bad feeling. Sure enough, Zhang Heling unilaterally announced: ¡°We will shoot it when we get home! Let Shuoshuo take the video for us!¡± Zhang Yansheng rubbed her forehead, and then heard the little girl continue to ask, ¡°Sister, what does Alpha mean? Why do the comments say that you are a female alpha?¡± Zhang Yansheng also had this title somehow, and her classmates had already told her. But she was unable to explain and just dodged: ¡°Make good use of search engines, don¡¯t take it for granted, and ask others everything.¡± Zhang Heling did a good search and it was a great time, as it opened the door to a new world! Alpha, Beta, Omega! The ABO world of three kinds of people and six genders is so magical! It turns out that the ¡®A¡¯ of ¡®A burst¡¯ is the initial letter of Alpha! That¡¯s what it meant! Zhang Heling obsessively read the popular posts of netizens, and then raised her head, her face glowing. ¡°Sister! Me too!¡± She was so excited that she was incoherent, as if she had found a goal in life, ¡°I also want to be an alpha! I don¡¯t want to be an omega!¡± A burst like her sister! Zhang Yansheng: ¡°???¡± She just let her search, but what messy things did she look at? The meal ended in Zhang Yansheng¡¯s ethereal silence and Zhang Heling¡¯s incoherent excitement. Zhang Yansheng called the waiter to pay the bill. The waiter said, ¡°Someone already paid for this table just now.¡± Both Zhang Yansheng and Zhang Heling looked at the waiter, with a smile on the corners of the waiter¡¯s mouth: ¡°It¡¯s a tall and handsome guy, he said you know who he is.¡± Zhang Heling said ¡°Ah¡±: ¡°Sister! Was it that person just now¡­¡± Zhang Yansheng clawed her hand on the top of Zhang Heling¡¯s head, and smiled at the waiter: ¡°I got it, thank you.¡± ¡°I got it, I got it, so it turns out that you can do it like this!¡± On the way back, four boys in a dormitory squeezed into a taxi. Qian Wei opened his eyes today and couldn¡¯t help but mutter. One roommate beat him ruthlessly: ¡°What did you learn? This kind of high-end operation can only be performed by high-profile people.¡± Another roommate was even more ruthless: ¡°If you use your face value score to do this kind of operation, there will be no gain other than loss of money. Don¡¯t think about it. Ah, no, maybe you can recognize a niece or something.¡± Yue Song held his forehead: ¡°Okay, okay.¡± He sent his roommates back to school. ¡°I¡¯m going home today.¡± He reminded them, ¡°Don¡¯t be late for reporting tomorrow. Qian Wei knows the place, so just follow him.¡± The roommates agreed and said, ¡°We will invite you to dinner again another day, not today.¡± Yue Song readily agreed. When he got home, he called Mo Lin: ¡°Miss Mo, I¡¯m sorry to disturb you so late.¡± He said: ¡°I just want to ask, will the Xingnan Group investors attend the premiere in B City in two days?¡± Mo Lin said, ¡°Yes, Miss Zhang asked me to reserve three seats for her. She said she would take her sister and her father.¡± Her younger sister is the little girl he saw today, and her father is Zhang Huan from Xingnan Group. Mo Lin asked: ¡°Are you asking this¡­?¡± Yue Song pondered for a while and said, ¡°My original arrangement here has been canceled. Please save a seat for me. ¡­No, I won¡¯t go on stage, I don¡¯t need you to arrange it. I¡¯ll just go and have a look.¡± Mo Lin agreed and Yue Song asked again, ¡°Which flight will Young Master Zhang take? I¡¯ll take the same class, just to get to know each other.¡± From beginning to end, Yue Song did not mention ¡®Zhang Yansheng¡¯. Mo Lin had known him for more than a year, and it was only when he invested in the movie. He seemed to ask how she and Zhang Yansheng met out of curiosity. This kind of deliberate arrangement to get acquainted with others is also common in shopping malls. Mo Lin herself often has to look for all kinds of opportunities to meet the people she wants to know. Therefore, Mo Lin did not have any doubts about him, and told Yue Song the flight number of Zhang Yansheng and her party, and said: ¡°I will arrange a pick-up for you.¡± Yue Song cheerfully said: ¡°Okay, thank you.¡± He had other arrangements and didn¡¯t want to go to the premiere. But¡­ this is not an arrangement from heaven. During these two days, Zhang Yansheng glanced at her cellphone from time to time. But to her surprise, although they added each other as friends, Yue Song did not send her any messages. Soon, she and Zhang Huan will take Zhang Heling to B City. Before they left, Zhang Huan said to Liang Yingying, ¡°You must look after Shuoshuo.¡± This is purely formality, because even if Liang Yingying is at home, an aunt is actually responsible for watching Zhang Shuocheng. But even so, Liang Yingying had to take a formality and show responsibility: ¡°Don¡¯t worry.¡± Zhang Heling instructed her solemnly: ¡°Mom, you must check his homework every day. Otherwise, he really wouldn¡¯t take the initiative to do it. He will definitely play around all day!¡± Liang Yingying grinned her teeth and said angrily: ¡°I know.¡± All three of them glanced at Zhang Shuocheng, and they all saw the excitement that couldn¡¯t be hidden in his eyes, or rather a sudden urge to move. The three of them glanced at each other and left tacitly. As soon as their car left, Zhang Shuocheng became excited as if she had unloaded his bridle, and asked Liang Yingying to take him to the amusement park. Liang Yingying hated taking her children out the most, so she refused: ¡°On such a hot day, adults wouldn¡¯t want to dry out under the sun!¡± But there was no one in the family who suppressed Zhang Shuocheng. He returned to his previous state in a second, and began to howl and roll when he fell to the ground, still holding Liang Yingying¡¯s leg and forbidding her to leave. Liang Yingying became annoyed and was about to beat him! Zhang Shuocheng jumped up, pointed at her and said, ¡°If you hit me, I¡¯ll tell my dad that you don¡¯t watch me at home and you just go out to play mahjong all day long!¡± Liang Yingying was dizzy with anger. When did this young son learn this technique? Has her status in this family been so low that even her youngest son can bully her? But it was not the same as before. She raised her hand, raised it again, then raised it again, and finally put it down bitterly: ¡°Didn¡¯t you say to go to the amusement park? Change your clothes!¡± Then she shouted, ¡°Aunt Wang! Aunt Wang! Where are the others? You will go with us and call Xiao Zhou as well!¡± When Yue Song also appeared in the first-class cabin of the plane, Zhang Yansheng was surprised again. Yue Song smiled and said hello to her and Zhang Heling: ¡°Hey, we meet again.¡± Zhang Heling was also surprised: ¡°Ah, Big Brother!¡± Yue Song was so good-looking, so she still remembered him. Zhang Huan turned his head when he heard the sound and saw an older boy with long legs. Wearing a white T-shirt, he looked very clean, with a smile on his eyebrows and a warm temperament. Good-looking people take advantage of it, and it¡¯s easy for people to feel good at first sight. Moreover, Yue Song¡¯s appearance is of an upright type, unlike Xu Lichen¡¯s romantic and unrestrained appearance, Zhang Huan has a good impression of him at first glance. The first-class seats on the plane are all separated, and Yue Song¡¯s seat happens to be in the same row as Zhang Huan¡¯s. He took a seat and stretched out his hand to Zhang Huan across the middle aisle: ¡°You are Young Master Zhang from Xingnan Group, right?¡± Zhang Huan also stretched out his hand and asked rhetorically, ¡°You are¡­?¡± The two shook hands and Yue Song introduced himself: ¡°My last name is Yue, Yue Song. My grandfather¡¯s taboo name is Shangqi Xiafeng.¡±1Ãû»ä ¨C Taboo name ¨C The pronunciation of name taboo is m¨ªng hu¨¬, which used to refer to the name of the elder or respected person. In the old days, it was called a name before death, and a taboo after death. Separate use has different meanings; combined use has the same name, but with respect. When he made this introduction, neither Zhang Yansheng nor Zhang Heling understood. Zhang Huan suddenly realized: ¡°Oh, you are¡­¡± After understanding the convergence point of social relationships, his attitude suddenly became affectionate. ¡°Are you also going to B City to participate in the premiere?¡± Yue Song looked back at Zhang Yansheng behind him with a smile, and explained, ¡°Me too.¡± His surname is Yue, he belongs to K City, and he went to the premiere. This information flashed in her mind, so Zhang Yansheng suddenly understood: ¡°Are you the investor from Qingting Group?¡± ¡°Yes.¡± Yue Song smiled at the corner of his mouth, and the stars seemed to flash in Zhang Yansheng¡¯s eyes, bright and glittering, ¡°It¡¯s a coincidence.¡± What is a coincidence? Fate is a coincidence. CH 121 Zhang Heling has been playing games for more than two hours from K City to B City. Zhang Yansheng kept staring at the two people in front of her, listening to them speak. She found that Yue Song is a person who is very good at listening and getting along with the elders. At the beginning, her father was still holding social distance modestly, with the attitude of ¡®Zhang family versus Yue family¡¯. But slowly, Yue Song listened patiently, asked sincerely, and complemented sincerely¡­ Zhang Huan adjusted his attitude to ¡®the elderly vs. the young¡¯. At this moment, the attitude became two points closer. ¡°I¡¯ve had a very pleasant cooperation with your cousin in the past two years.¡± Zhang Huan said, ¡°She is a powerful person. The back waves of the Yangtze River push the front waves. We, the front waves, will all be shot to death on the beach. From now on, it will be the world of young people like you.¡± ¡°I heard my cousin mention you.¡± Yue Song said slowly, ¡°It¡¯s said that Xingnan Group is steady and flourishing. Your old lady is in charge of the rudder. It is as stable as Mount Tai. It should not be underestimated in our province, as the ginger is still spicy. We are still young and we have to learn too much from the previous generation.¡± Zhang Huan praised him sincerely: ¡°You¡¯re so humble, you¡¯re so humble!¡± Zhang Yansheng had a strange feeling. Yue Song sometimes spoke to Zhang Huan at a more stable and slower speed than Zhang Huan. He may be a person with a thousand faces. Zhang Yansheng had already observed that as soon as Zhang Huan arrived in front of the old lady, his speech speed became faster and his voice became thinner; as soon as he returned to his home to face his wife and children, his tone sank; and when he gave orders to the secretaries, he sounded very majestic. Yue Song is now talking to Zhang Huan, neither humble nor overbearing, neither anxious nor slow, and he doesn¡¯t feel like a young man. If you close your eyes, you will feel like he¡¯s an old man. Of course, Zhang Huan is very adapted to his intonation and speed of speech, because the older people are, the more so. But a few days ago, when she met him in a restaurant by chance, although he only said a few words, Zhang Yansheng was very sure that the way Yue Song talked at that time was completely different from now. Thinking about it, even when facing different people, Zhang Yansheng unconsciously adjusted her tone and intonation as well. Zhang Yansheng couldn¡¯t help but find it very interesting. Therefore, Yue Song would behave very old-fashioned and stable in front of people like Zhang Huan. What would he look like at other times? During the two-hour flight, Yue Song was talking to Zhang Huan, and he hardly looked back at Zhang Yansheng. And Zhang Huan was very interested in talking as well, so he chatted with him all the way. When they got off the plane, they were each picked up and said goodbye with a smile. When he got in the car, Zhang Huan said emotionally: ¡°This is someone else¡¯s child. The Yue family taught their children so well. Oh, this young man! I just hope that Shuoshuo will be like him in the future, and I will be very satisfied in my life.¡± What a big face! Zhang Shuocheng has been taken care of by her in this life, and Zhang Huan should thank her for him not doing evil and hurting others! Zhang Yansheng rolled his eyes and they almost rolled into the sky! Zhang Huan completely misunderstood. He thought that Zhang Yansheng was looking down on Yue Song like this, so he also spoke for Yue Song: ¡°Why are you rolling your eyes? I¡¯m telling you, people like him are called steady, you should know that. You probably think that everyone is like Xiao Xu, a big monkey, that if you say a few words, your eyebrows have to be raised four or five times, and the corners of your mouth have to be hooked several times. Still like this, in this way, hook diagonally!¡± He personally demonstrated what a ¡®diagonal hook of the mouth¡¯ is. In fact, it is the corners of the mouths on both sides, one side does not move, only the other side is evoked, which is an eviler way of laughing. ¡°It looks like the big villain in the TV series.¡± Zhang Huan complained. Anyway, he didn¡¯t like Xu Lichen alive or dead, and he was not pleasing to the eye anywhere, not even the corners of his mouth and eyebrows. ¡°Don¡¯t do that.¡± Zhang Yansheng said coldly, ¡°You really look like the villain in the TV series when you smile like that.¡± ¡°Yes, yes, yes!¡± Zhang Heling expressed her thoughts sincerely, ¡°Especially like the one in¡¶A Man who Holds the Sky¡·, the master¡¯s disciple. He always looked down on the male lead from the beginning, he always laughed like that, his mouth crooked, and it was like that. Later, he was very miserable and the male lead killed his whole family.¡± ¡°Bah, baaah!¡± Zhang Huan was so angry, ¡°What are you talking about?!¡± When they arrived at the hotel, Xu Lichen was already waiting for them at the entrance. ¡°Uncle Zhang, it¡¯s been a long time since I saw you!¡± Xu Lichen greeted Zhang Huan enthusiastically, ¡°I¡¯m sorry, I can¡¯t pick you up as I was still in the class. But let¡¯s have dinner together later.¡± I never wanted you to pick us up anyway. Zhang Huan curled his lips and said, ¡°It¡¯s okay, you take your class well¡­ Hey, what class are you taking?¡± It¡¯s summer vacation now and this is not K City. Xu Lichen talked about the acting class. Zhang Huan said pretentiously: ¡°It¡¯s very good, very good, work harder. Uncle is waiting to see the movie that will star you in the future.¡± Most people have to be humble when they hear these kinds of words. Looking at Xiao Yue, how subtle and elegant he is to be humble. Zhang Huan followed the procedures and waited for Xu Lichen to follow the routines of ¡®will live up to your expectations¡¯ and ¡®will definitely work hard¡¯. However, Xu Lichen never knew what humility was. He raised his eyebrows and the corners of his mouth slanted. He said with great confidence: ¡°That is for certain!¡± Zhang Huan: ¡°¡­¡± He felt very uncomfortable in his chest. Not pleasing to the eye! Really not pleasing to the eye! But Xu Lichen is not a fool, and Zhang Huan¡¯s attitude towards him is clear in his heart. He quietly said to Zhang Yansheng, ¡°Is your dad going through menopause?¡± Zhang Yansheng: ¡°¡­¡± Xu Lichen made a solemn vow: ¡°I¡¯m serious! I suspect that he is.¡± ¡°I¡¯m just saying,¡± he explained to her, ¡°As far as the men in their 40s and 50s I know, there are only two men I can¡¯t handle. One is our dean and the other is your father! Look at the smile on his face at me, he must not know what to say about me in his heart.¡± ¡°Needless to say, the dean and the students were natural enemies in the school. But your father is really strange, is it really at odds with my aura.¡± Xu Lichen was puzzled, ¡°Seriously, I can even treat others as brothers and sisters, but I can¡¯t handle your father.¡± Xu Lichen has the ability to quickly integrate into the new environment and quickly get others to surround him. This was the case in her previous life, and he was not bad at it in this life, too. He went from Class 8 to Class 5, and soon he had friends. He was the kind of friend who would really worry about him when he was in a certain situation. They also deliberately ran to Zhang Yansheng to inquire about the situation. In this life, Zhang Yansheng gave him a hand, so that he could deal with the adults like Director Xie early, and it was also handy. From Producer Wang to Director Xie, to the assistant directors, to the lighting directors, and make-up artists, they call each other as brothers and sisters, even hooking up their shoulders. He can handle so many people, but he can¡¯t handle Zhang Huan. Xu Lichen, a person with bursting self-confidence, certainly doesn¡¯t think that the problem will be on himself. It must be Zhang Yansheng¡¯s father who has a problem! The corner of Zhang Yansheng¡¯s mouth twitched: ¡°Maybe¡­¡± After talking about her father, she also asked Xu Lichen about his father: ¡°What¡¯s the situation with your father?¡± Xu Lichen¡¯s eyes dimmed, then he hid it, and said indifferently: ¡°Well that¡¯s just it. He was taking a lot of pills every day and got two more injections. Now, he is already out of his mind and doesn¡¯t even recognize me when I see him. In that kind of place, it¡¯s totally dark inside.¡± Zhang Yansheng asked again: ¡°Since your dad suddenly became like that, didn¡¯t those two people react?¡± ¡°What kind of reaction?¡± Xu Lichen snorted, ¡°My dad was already no match for my mom. Just the two of them, do they still want to fight with my mom?¡± In the past few months, Mother Xu has completed a series of finishing tasks. When Father Xu had not contacted his white moonlight for a week, she had already begun to be very neurotic, suspecting that Father Xu had abandoned her. She vigorously called Father Xu¡¯s secretary. The secretary has completely surrendered to Mother Xu, handed over all the materials and documents, confessed all the information he has, and had taken a severance pay, and resigned afterwards. He hasn¡¯t answered the white moonlight¡¯s phone calls, and even blocked her number. The white moonlight even felt that Father Xu was about to abandon her and she began to collapse. In the end, Xu Mulin used the public phone to call him, but the secretary didn¡¯t answer it for a while. After finding that it was him and hearing the child¡¯s tone of pleading sincerely, the secretary softened a bit and told Xu Mulin and his mother the truth. As if struck by lightning, the mother and son immediately went to the police station to report the case, saying that Father Xu was imprisoned by Mother Xu. When the police registered the case and asked about the relationship between the two of them and Father Xu, the white moonlight naturally wanted to say ¡°I am the one he loves¡±. Fortunately, Xu Mulin was sober and covered his mother¡¯s mouth. ¡°My mother and Uncle Xu are classmates. They have known each other for many years and they have a good relationship.¡± The policeman¡¯s gaze patrolled them twice and nodded. The two went home and waited. A few days later, the police called them to the station. They told them: ¡°Mr. Xu is indeed suffering from a mental illness. There is no illegal imprisonment or illegal restriction of his personal freedom.¡± The white moonlight screamed: ¡°That¡¯s impossible! Impossible! He was forcibly sent in by his wife! She hates him! She hates us both! She wants us both to die so that she can occupy all their assets! But the police just routinely told her to calm down and told her that they had investigated everything and that everything was legal. Mrs. Xu is Mr. Xu¡¯s legal spouse and had legally obtained custody of Mr. Xu. The two words ¡®legal spouse¡¯ stimulated the white moonlight. ¡°I am the one he really loves! He married her just to make do with his life!¡± She shed tears and cried hysterically, ¡°He loves me, it¡¯s me!¡± There was no great surprise in the expressions of the police. It was obvious that they had learned about the relationship between the complainant and the ¡®victim¡¯ in her mouth during the investigation in the past few days. But the way they looked at her made Xu Mulin really embarrassed. Her tears and weeping, her hysteria, in the eyes of the man who loves her, are weak and pitiful, her girlish aura has not been erased, and the echo of the love she had when she was young. In the eyes of others, she is a neurotic middle-aged aunt. Xu Mulin dragged his mother away. When their figures disappeared, the police took off their hats and muttered, ¡°I think this woman should also be sent to a mental hospital.¡± The truth is already very clear, Mrs. Xu has controlled his father, and she has mastered all the initiative! Xu Mulin was just a high school student. He couldn¡¯t do anything, so he called the secretary for help. This secretary used to have frequent contact with them, and he was very familiar with them. He said: ¡°What can I do? Just hurry up and pray that Mrs. Xu will let you go. Don¡¯t mess around, you are not her opponent. Don¡¯t you have money in your hand? The house is also in your mother¡¯s name. Take the money. Live your life. Don¡¯t think about your dad anymore, he¡¯s over. I¡¯m going to change my phone number, so don¡¯t call me anymore. I have changed jobs. These things have nothing to do with me now!¡± Human kindness is so indifferent. Obviously, he used to kindly tell him, ¡°Your dad is busy, tell this uncle if you have anything, uncle will help you deal with it right away.¡± Now that his father has lost the power, they should just back away as well. But his mother still doesn¡¯t recognize this, so she urges him to call the secretary every day. They also went to the mental hospital to see Father Xu, but they were not relatives, and his legal guardian had already made an arrangement with the hospital and did not allow anyone else to see Father Xu. They couldn¡¯t even see him. Xu Mulin was a bit clever and gave money to a caregiver, wanting to know about his father¡¯s situation. The caregiver illegally recorded Father Xu¡¯s situation inside and showed it to Xu Mulin. Although it was only a little more than a minute, Xu Mulin understood that unless he and his mother had the ability to rescue his father from this prison-like hospital, his father would really be done. However, what can he do as a high school student who has no social connections? His mother broke down and cried every day. As soon as he came home from school, he was faced with a hysterical woman. He is already in his second year of high school, and his academic burden is very heavy. He comforts her exhaustedly every day: ¡°You still have me, you still have me.¡± He looked at the deposit in her bank card. Fortunately, there was still money and they could still live, he thought. Xu Mulin realized that they were powerless to rescue his father, and was determined to live a good life with the money in their hand as the secretary said, at least he had to finish the college entrance examination first. However, how could Mother Xu forget the existence of him and his mother? The white moonlight received a subpoena from the court. The house she lives in, the car she uses, and the money in her account were all given to her by Father Xu. Mother Xu thoroughly checked Father Xu¡¯s financial records and sued to recover all these gifts made with their marital property without her consent. It was simply a thunder from a clear sky. CH 122 The white moonlight¡¯s mother and son found a lawyer to respond to the lawsuit, but the evidence is no match for conclusive evidence. The court ruled that the white moonlight must return all the gifts. Moreover, under the operation of Mother Xu, this kind of case, which usually takes several months or even a year, was quickly opened, quickly pronounced, and quickly enforced. The white moonlight¡¯s mother and son lost their house and car, and their savings were also taken away. They had nothing now and they left the high-end apartment where they had lived for many years in embarrassment. In the dilapidated rental room, the white moonlight lay down and shed tears for a few days, then suddenly jumped up: ¡°No, you are his son, and you have the right to inherit his assets! You can have half of his assets!¡± They went to a lawyer again to fight for the assets. The lawyer directly refused: ¡°Your child has the right to inheritance. But right now, his father is still alive, so there is no so-called ¡®inheritance¡¯, only ¡®assets¡¯, and this right of inheritance has not yet taken effect.¡± The white moonlight fell into the mud for the second time in her life. At this time, she wished that Father Xu could die immediately and let Xu Mulin inherit the inheritance immediately. But the lawyer shattered her dream and advised her with some compassion: ¡°It is better to arrange your lives earlier. Not to mention how long can Mr. Xu live, just looking at Mrs. Xu¡¯s methods, how could she leave any inheritance to you if there will be such a day in the future.¡± The lawyer looked at the haggard woman and shook his head. The matter of the Xu family has spread in the circles. The woman in front of her and Mrs. Xu are not heavyweight players at all. The white moonlight felt that she was having a nightmare again. The last time she had this nightmare was when her ex-husband committed suicide because of bankruptcy and she fell from being a rich madam to lifelessness. Fortunately, at that time, a man suddenly appeared to save her. But now, how could another man save her again? Her son is still young and can¡¯t save her. She is hopeless. The white moonlight jumped from the rooftop of a high-rise building, ending this nightmare. Xu Mulin just returned to school but was called back again, watching the police and professionals converge on his mother with a blank expression. The neighbors watched and sighed, saying that the children were pitiful, and asked about the father of this family. No one knows but someone from the crowd said, ¡°This woman is a mistress. She was supposed to fight a lawsuit and had to return back all her money, so she jumped off the building. The child is also an illegitimate child.¡± Xu Mulin raised his eyes to find the person who just spoke. That person was already hidden in the crowd, and he didn¡¯t know which one it was. But the neighbors said, ¡°That¡¯s just¡­¡± Everyone¡¯s tone of voice changed, and the eyes that looked at him also lost sympathy and pity. Some people even laughed and spat at him lightly. It looked like he deserved retribution for hearing and seeing this now. Xu Mulin gritted his teeth loudly. He has no money, no relatives, and has become nothing. Everyone in the school also knows that he is an illegitimate son, the son of a mistress, and everyone sees him differently from before. He lost his mind and didn¡¯t go to school. He took a fruit knife and went to the door of Yi High School to hang around keeping a watch out. At that time, the final exam was about to take place. Xu Lichen was in a daze from studying, and his mind was dizzy when he came out of school at 10 o¡¯clock in the evening. When he was about to get into my car, he suddenly heard exclamations and noises. He heard the sound and looked, and saw that not far away, several men rushed over in the night and pressed a man to the ground. There was also a flash of light on the ground, as if there was a knife. It¡¯s natural for Xu Lichen to be attracted to the bustling noise and excitement, so he was about to go over as he prepared himself to raise his foot for a kick: ¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡± The driver grabbed him: ¡°Don¡¯t go there! What¡¯s so interesting? Your mother told you to go home quickly after school, finish your homework, and go to bed early. It¡¯s almost time for the final exam!¡± Xu Lichen was discouraged and looked again. After another look, the man had already been stuffed into a van just now. As soon as the door was closed, the car drove away. Even the knife on the ground was gone. In the blink of an eye, the excitement was over. Tsk! The driver coaxed and pushed him into the car, closed the door, and made an ¡°OK¡± gesture to the bodyguard who pretended to be a passerby on the side of the road. The bodyguard also responded with an ¡°OK¡± gesture, indicating that the matter was over. Xu Mulin, who tried to stab Xu Lichen to death and died together, was also sent to the mental hospital. He was diagnosed as schizophrenic from strong stimulation and was admitted to the hospital. He can now see his father every day. Since he was a child, he dreamed that his father could live with him and his mother every day and never go back to his ¡®home¡¯. This dream was realized in a mental hospital. In the last life, even if Xu Lichen hated him like that, he just harassed Xu Mulin often, which made him extremely annoyed, so he failed in the college entrance examination. He never thought of harming a person, physical destruction, or detention. In this life, Mother Xu was thunderous, cutting the grass, and rooting out all the dangerous factors that might harm Xu Lichen. This is the difference between a child and an adult. Of course, Xu Lichen didn¡¯t know all this. When he asked his mother how the two of them were, Mother Xu helped him organize the collars of his school uniform and told him gently: ¡°Don¡¯t worry about them, just study hard.¡± In this life, there is no such thing as struggle for assets which is truly exhausting. She had the energy and time to spend more time with her son. She now tries to eat breakfast with her son every day, even if his schedule is not the same as hers. So, when Zhang Yansheng asked about these things, Xu Lichen naturally told her not to worry, the white moonlight¡¯s mother and son would definitely not be able to beat his mother. Zhang Yansheng nodded. Mother Xu has won in this life, so there is no need to worry about everything. Zhang Heling knocked on the door and poked her little head in: ¡°Sister, Dad went down first, he told us to go to the restaurant to find him later.¡± Zhang Yansheng was baffled: ¡°Why did he go down already?¡± Zhang Heling shrugged her shoulders, ¡°I don¡¯t know.¡± Zhang Yansheng said, ¡°You go to the living room and wait for a minute, and we will be there right away.¡± Zhang Heling retracted her head and took a step, but heard Zhang Yansheng¡¯s voice in the room saying, ¡°Don¡¯t look at her like that.¡± Her sister said, ¡°She is already in our house. She is still young. She is different from your younger brother.¡± Brother Xu said, ¡°Bah, I don¡¯t have a brother who is as good as a fart! If it weren¡¯t for my mother telling me to leave them alone as she would clean them up, I would have to make him sleep badly every day!¡± Zhang Yansheng said, ¡°Anyway, pay attention, children are very sensitive.¡± Xu Lichen said, ¡°Tsk! I just glanced at your sister¡¯s cuteness and took a closer look. You seem to be on guard to keep pace with.¡± After listening to this conversation outside the door, Zhang Heling showed a slightly confused expression. It should be talking about her, but there was something subtle in the words of this brother and her sister¡­ She hesitated for a while and went to the living room. After Zhang Yansheng and Xu Lichen finished speaking, they came out together. The Xu family was staying in a three-bedroom suite. The two of them went to the living room and called Zhang Heling, then they went downstairs to the restaurant together. When they arrived at the restaurant, they knew why Zhang Huan came down first ¡ª he was sitting and talking to someone. Seeing Zhang Huan raising his hand to call them, the man he was talking to turned around. It was not someone else, it was Yue Song, who was on the same flight with them today. Zhang Yansheng was surprised. Zhang Huan chuckled with ¡°hehe¡±: ¡°Xiao Yue called me to ask if we want to eat dinner together. I asked where he was. As a result, he was in the seat next to me.¡± While Zhang Huan was speaking, Yue Song¡¯s gaze stayed on Xu Lichen for two seconds. When Zhang Huan finished speaking, he explained: ¡°Our family has a lot of business in the north and comes here often. We have a house here.¡± The hotel where Zhang Yansheng and the others stayed is in the Second Ring Road, which is a building in a huge architectural complex. This complex contains office buildings, shopping malls, hotels, and apartments. Therefore, Yue Song and the others lived in different buildings in the same architectural complex. After Yue Song finished speaking, he leaned forward and stretched out his hand to Xu Lichen: ¡°Yue Song.¡± Xu Lichen leaned forward and shook hands with him: ¡°Xu Lichen.¡± Xu Lichen felt that Yue Song was a very strong person, but fortunately, he was not a weak person either. In response, he also held it very hard. After all, they are both men. When everyone was seated, Zhang Huan introduced the background to the two of them: ¡°Xiao Yue and his family are from Qingting Group, and Xiao Xu and his family are from Diancheng Group. He is a classmate from the same school as our family¡¯s Yansheng.¡± It turned out to be Diancheng Group, the Xu family who had recently been frequently mentioned by everyone because of divorce disputes and men being sent to mental hospitals. Yue Song nodded: ¡°It¡¯s an honor to meet you at last.¡± Xu Lichen said ¡°Ah, ah¡± twice, then nodded to deal with it. He couldn¡¯t say ¡°It¡¯s an honor to meet you at last¡± also because he was actually a real high school student, and furthermore ¡°I¡¯ve heard so much about you¡± is not something to celebrate. Yue Song saw that he couldn¡¯t take up this topic, so he raised his eyebrows slightly. Zhang Yansheng told Xu Lichen: ¡°Qingting Group is Director Xie¡¯s other investor from our K City. Their family invested 100 million.¡± Xu Lichen suddenly realized and patted the table: ¡°It¡¯s your family!¡± ¡°Let me tell you!¡± He became excited, and everyone leaned forward, but across a round table, he wanted to get as close as possible to Yue Song, ¡°Have confidence in our movie! I¡¯m telling you, I can vouch for it, we will definitely make a profit, we certainly will!¡± His eyes flashed, and his smile was full of confidence and sincere enthusiasm. Yue Song paused and was silent for several seconds! Xu Lichen was born with a pair of peach blossom eyes, a romantic and thin face, and a strong personality. He is very distinctive. He will never forget it after seeing it. So, when he appeared side by side with Zhang Yansheng, Yue Song recognized him. He is the ¡®classmate¡¯ who is said to have been drawn by Zhang Yansheng to invest together. Knowing his background just now, and considering his complicated family situation, Yue Song had already made an estimate of Xu Lichen in his heart ¡ª even if he was younger, he should be more mature than his peers. In this way, he is worthy of Zhang Yansheng. But, however, but¡­ facing Xu Lichen¡¯s sudden burst of foolish-style enthusiasm, Yue Song found that he had made a mistake in his estimation. Seeing Xu Lichen leaning forward and enthusiastically telling him about the movie, Yue Song really couldn¡¯t think of it anymore. This guy who was suspected to be Zhang Yansheng¡¯s boyfriend turned out to be¡­ a little silly and sweet. Yue Song¡¯s mood was a bit complicated. The atmosphere at the dining table was pretty good. Both Zhang Huan and Xu Lichen could find common topics with Yue Song, and they both liked to talk to Yue Song. As soon as he became familiar, Xu Lichen opened his chatterbox and inquired about Yue Song: ¡°Are you already doing business for your family?¡± Yue Song said: ¡°It¡¯s not official yet, I¡¯m still in school.¡± Zhang Huan was shocked: ¡°Are you still in school?¡± He talked with Yue Song for so long, and he said that Yue Song could connect to anything. He really thought that Yue Song had officially entered the family business to help, but he didn¡¯t expect that he was still in school? ¡°Yes.¡± Yue Song said, ¡°I am a third-year college student, and will be a fourth-year college student at the start of school.¡± ¡°That¡¯s not much different from us. I thought you were a lot older than us.¡± Xu Lichen said. ¡°No, only four years older.¡± Yue Song glanced at Zhang Yansheng and emphasized, ¡°We are all of the same age.¡± CH 123 Zhang Huan would naturally ask: ¡°In which school?¡± ¡°K University.¡± Yue Song said, ¡°My grandfather is old and my parents are often not around, so I don¡¯t want to go too far, so I enrolled in the local school.¡± Before Zhang Huan spoke, Zhang Heling had already spoken: ¡°Hey, isn¡¯t that the same school as Sister Qiqi?¡± Zhang Huan said: ¡°My niece is also studying at K University.¡± ¡°Zhang Qi, right?¡± Yue Song said. Zhang Huan was surprised: ¡°Oh, do you know each other?¡± He found another link point for social relationships. Yue Song said: ¡°We are all both in the student union and have dealt with each other.¡± It has a spiritual nature to have spoken these words, but its social level is even lower than ¡®acquaintance¡¯. Everyone at the dining table except Zhang Heling could understand. Xu Lichen didn¡¯t know Zhang Yansheng¡¯s cousin, so he didn¡¯t feel anything. But for Zhang Huan and Zhang Yansheng, Yue Song¡¯s distance from Zhang Qi, which is their close relative, was clear at a glance. After all, Yue Song took the initiative to call Zhang Huan to have dinner together, talking and laughing, respectfully and affectionately. If he is asked about it by others in the future, it¡¯s absolutely not just ¡®dealing with each other¡¯. The atmosphere at the dining table was very harmonious. But when Zhang Huan went to the bathroom together, Yue Song turned to Xu Lichen, glanced at him and Zhang Yansheng, and asked with a smile, ¡°Is Lichen Yansheng¡¯s boyfriend?¡± Xu Lichen was drinking the same juice as Zhang Heling, and when he heard the words, he turned his head and spurted out the juice with a ¡°puff¡±! The seats of this round table are arranged like this: Zhang Huan is in the main seat, and when Zhang Yansheng and the others came, Yue Song was already sitting next to Zhang Huan. So, Zhang Yansheng sat down next to Yue Song, Xu Lichen sat next to Zhang Yansheng, and Zhang Heling sat between Xu Lichen and Zhang Huan. In clockwise order, it is Zhang Huan, Yue Song, Zhang Yansheng, Xu Lichen, Zhang Heling, and then back to Zhang Huan. Xu Lichen was frightened by Yue Song¡¯s words. On his right hand was Zhang Yansheng, and he didn¡¯t have a decade of courage to spray on Zhang Yansheng. So, he forcibly turned his head to the left and sprayed all the juice on¡­ Zhang Heling¡¯s skirt. Zhang Heling: ¡°¡­¡± Zhang Heling performed a flower face that was discolored and full of tears on the spot. Don¡¯t look at her usual appearance at home and school, she actually always imitates her sister and pretends to be cold. She wants to be an alpha with all her heart. When she encounters such a situation, her weak, pitiful, and helpless appearance will be revealed. Xu Lichen coughed ¡°ahem, ahem, ahem¡±, pulled a tissue to wipe his mouth, then pulled a lot of tissue to wipe Zhang Heling¡¯s skirt, and apologized: ¡°I¡¯m sorry, I¡¯m sorry, I¡¯m sorry! Don¡¯t cry, don¡¯t cry! Big brother will go downstairs to buy you a new skirt later!¡± But Zhang Yansheng looked at Yue Song. For the whole day, Yue Song looked so gentle and harmless. Zhang Yansheng has been observing, always feeling as if something is wrong. Although he was basically a stranger, she always felt that the young man whom she had met in the previous life and rushed into the private room to save her shouldn¡¯t just be like this. There is always something missing. She didn¡¯t expect that when Zhang Huan left, Yue Song showed a different side of him. Although he asked with a smile, the light in his eyes clearly showed the aggressiveness unique to male animals. The ¡®person¡¯ in Zhang Yansheng¡¯s mind suddenly became well-developed. Yue Song saw her deep eyes lit up, she smiled and replied, ¡°No, I regard him as a brother.¡± Xu Lichen was so scared like this, so Yue Song knew that all his previous guesses were about to be overturned. Although the word ¡®friend¡¯ can be used obviously, Zhang Yansheng used ¡®brother¡¯ to express that the relationship between her and Xu Lichen should be better than a friend. However, she clearly denied the intimate relationship between men and women. Although he didn¡¯t take the initiative to talk to her today, she was surprisingly quiet, her eyes were calm with scrutiny. It was only at this moment that Yue Song saw in her eyes the same light as when she rushed to him with her sister in her arms a few days ago. So, everything is not only an illusion to him. It is a wonderful thing for a young man and a young woman to be able to clearly observe each other¡¯s feelings. There was a faint light in Yue Song¡¯s inky eyes, and Zhang Yansheng¡¯s cold face broke through the ice with a smile. The temperature and smell of the air have become different. ¡°Hurry up and eat while my dad is away.¡± Zhang Yansheng said, ¡°He keeps talking, so you haven¡¯t eaten much.¡± As soon as Zhang Huan spoke, Yue Song stopped eating to show respect. Indeed, he hasn¡¯t eaten much. ¡°Okay.¡± Yue Song picked up the chopsticks, ¡°Jiao Liu meatballs are good.¡± Zhang Yansheng said, ¡°Crystal pig skin jelly is good as well, and it tastes refreshing in summer.¡± Zhang Heling went to B City for the first time, and when she ordered food, she ordered all the specialties of B City for her. So those beautiful hands with distinct joints, holding on to the chopsticks, firmly clamped a piece of crystal pig skin jelly into Zhang Yansheng¡¯s plate. He put the second piece to his plate. Zhang Heling was holding her skirt and Xu Lichen was holding a tissue. The two of them felt as if they were integrated with the air. But the two people who regarded them as air, eat their meals calmly, occasionally talking, and commenting on the dishes. They all whispered softly, obviously they didn¡¯t want their words to be heard by irrelevant people. Zhang Heling: I always feel¡­ that there is a strange atmosphere in the air. Xu Lichen: H*ly sh*t! Zhang Huan came back from the bathroom and took a seat. Yue Song used a public chopstick to pick up dishes for him: ¡°Uncle Zhang, Jiao Liu meatballs can¡¯t be cold, eat them while they are hot.¡± Obviously, he was still ¡®Young Master Zhang¡¯ before going to the bathroom. Although Yue Song is young, his maternal cousin, Xue Xintong, and Zhang Huan are business partners. The two of them are friends of the same generation, and it is appropriate for him to call him as ¡®Young Master Zhang¡¯. But Zhang Huan looked at him favorably and preferred to call him ¡®Uncle Zhang¡¯. ¡°Good, good.¡± He said with a smile on his eyebrows, thinking to himself, what a good boy, a hundred times better than someone. In a blink of an eye, the person was looking at him with strange eyes, and Zhang Huan became even more discouraged. What kind of look is that? If it weren¡¯t for the pitiful family affairs of that kid, he would have to say a few words to him in public. Xu Lichen also picked up a meatball for himself and stuffed it into his mouth. A small ball bulged on his cheek and he chewed it slowly. He¡¯s being considered as a wild boar to guard against, but he¡¯s holding in his hands a cabbage which can be considered as a treasure in the family. Xu Lichen watched Zhang Huan being coaxed into a smile by Yue Song¡­ You should be cautious, Uncle! After dinner, they went back to the hotel. Before going to bed, Zhang Yansheng received Yue Song¡¯s message for the first time: ¡°What are your plans for tomorrow? Zhang Yansheng replied: ¡°I will take my sister to see the Forbidden City. She came to B City for the first time.¡± ¡°It¡¯s so hot now, remember to take an umbrella.¡± ¡°I¡¯ll pray for it to be cloudy tomorrow.¡± Yue Song laughed and said, ¡°Then I¡¯ll see you at the premiere tomorrow.¡± Zhang Yansheng bent her eyes and replied, ¡°Okay.¡± Yue Song: ¡°Good night.¡± Zhang Yansheng: ¡°Good night.¡± The next day, Zhang Yansheng and Zhang Huan took Zhang Heling to visit the Forbidden City. This is a must-see spot in B City, so anyone who comes to B City for the first time will come here. Fortunately, it was cloudy that day and not so sunny. Otherwise, the sun in July and August in B City can roast people. Zhang Huan looked around on the platform of the Hall of Supreme Harmony with great emotion. ¡°The last time I came here was with your mother, and the first time was when I was a student. This is my third time here.¡± He sighed, ¡°Although the Forbidden City is here and this location will never be changed, and you can come in by just buying a ticket, but how many times can a person come here in a lifetime? Even those locals in B City have not come here for more than 10 or 20 years. It is estimated that after this trip, unless I am on a whim, I probably will not be able to come here again.¡± Zhang Yansheng led Zhang Heling over: ¡°You are getting old.¡± ¡°Hey! What nonsense are you saying?¡± Zhang Huan followed them angrily, ¡°How old is Dad? Let me tell you, I am still in my prime! You don¡¯t know anything!¡± Visiting the Forbidden City is completely physical work. After visiting, Zhang Huan and Zhang Heling couldn¡¯t hold on. ¡°That¡¯s the physical strength in the prime of life?¡± Zhang Yansheng commented, ¡°Lack of training.¡± Zhang Yansheng¡¯s physical strength is fine, but her feet hurt after walking. The three of them went back to the hotel and had their lunch. When they returned to their rooms, they took a shower, arranged a wake-up call service, and took a nice nap. When he was called up on the phone, Zhang Huan felt that his strength had recovered, but his calf felt a little swollen. Is he really that old? He stood up and twisted his waist three times to the left and three times to the right, and knocked on his daughters¡¯ rooms: ¡°Get up, don¡¯t sleep for too long, it will affect your sleep at night!¡± A thoughtful father! Zhang Yansheng¡¯s voice came out: ¡°I woke up early.¡± When he heard that voice, it was full of strength and energy, which made Zhang Huan inexplicably jealous. He went to knock on Zhang Heling¡¯s door again, and after a long time, there was a kitten-like voice humming: ¡°Oww.¡± It took a long time for Zhang Heling to come out in a daze. The considerate father had already asked the room service to deliver the freshly squeezed juice: ¡°Here.¡± Under the cool freshly squeezed juice, Zhang Heling was resurrected with blood, and she was alive and kicking again. Only Zhang Huan still feels that his legs are sore, as if he is really old! After playing a game with his little daughter in the living room for half an afternoon, Zhang Huan said, ¡°Go, remind your sister about the premiere this evening.¡± Zhang Heling ran over and knocked on the door, probed in and said, ¡°Sister, Dad asked me to remind you to prepare¡­¡± ¡°Got it.¡± Zhang Yansheng sat at the dressing table, ¡°I¡¯m putting on makeup.¡± Zhang Heling was reminded! ¡°Ah! I want to transform too!¡± She dashed back to her room. Zhang Heling¡¯s makeup is just putting on lipstick. She used a very light pale pink color, which matched her snow-white skin, without the abrupt feeling of a child¡¯s makeup. When Zhang Yansheng walked out of the room, Zhang Huan exclaimed, ¡°Hoh!¡± Zhang Yansheng was speechless: ¡°Why do you say ¡®hoh¡¯ every time you see my makeup?¡± Zhang Huan: ¡°Your makeup is called ¡®hoh¡¯. Look and see why wouldn¡¯t I say ¡®hoh¡¯ to our Hehe.¡± ¡°The lips are too red and the skirt is too short.¡± Zhang Huan began to be picky, ¡°Anyway, you are still a high school student.¡± ¡°I¡¯m wearing cycling shorts.¡± Zhang Yansheng didn¡¯t want to pay attention to him, ¡°Don¡¯t be so feudal or I¡¯ll look for my grandma to scold you!¡± Since the old lady was mentioned, Zhang Huan was discouraged. The three of them went downstairs. The premiere was held in the theater in this complex. A red carpet was laid out, and the entrance was filled with baskets of flowers for celebration. Among the people there were Zhang Yansheng, Zhang Huan, and Xu Lichen. There are a lot of people, there are invited reporters, there are news media with verified accounts, and there are all kinds of other people. The most distinguished of these are naturally investors like Zhang Yansheng. The financial backers. Before entering, Zhang Heling smelled the scent of popcorn and her nose twitched. After signing, Zhang Yansheng saw Yue Song as soon as he entered. He and Mo Lin were talking. It¡¯s amazing, obviously there are so many people, but Zhang Yansheng can see him at a glance. ¡°Big Sister Mo!¡± Zhang Yansheng called out Mo Lin. Mo Lin looked around and happily went over: ¡°Yansheng.¡± Yue Song turned around with Mo Lin and saw Zhang Yansheng. Under the searchlight, on the thin black dress, the black sequins flashed with the shaking. This girl didn¡¯t hesitate to show her beauty, with slender legs and blazing lips. The beautiful lip shape is outlined with a strong positive red color to form a seductive outline. Yue Song¡¯s gaze was glued to the red flame-like red lips for a long time, before he looked away. He remembered why he deleted her photo in front of his cousin Xue Xintong in the first place ¡ª Some people just grow up on the aesthetics of others, and when people see it, they become interested. However, she is still too young. CH 124 Enchantress12-16 minutes 05.04.2022 Mo Lin brought the producer and director over to meet with Zhang Huan. Obviously, the investor is Zhang Yansheng, but when this parent who ¡®gave his child tens of millions to play with¡¯ appeared, Zhang Yansheng has ¡®been¡¯ put in the back. Age is really a mishap! Zhang Yansheng hopes that she will quickly pass her senior year of high school. Adulthood, as long as she grows up as an adult. The producer and director also introduced each other to the rest of the investors. The investors are also happy to get to know each other. They are all middle-aged people who are elders, with the exception of Yue Song. Today, like Zhang Huan, he also wore a delicate suit with a white shirt inside. His temperament is clear and even a bit cold, standing with other investors, it is difficult to guess that he is still a student. Yesterday, they chatted at the dining table and he said that he grew up next to his grandfather, and Zhang Huan praised him for his calmness and maturity. ¡°Zhang Yansheng!¡± Zhang Yansheng turned her head, and Xu Lichen and a middle-aged woman appeared. Xu Lichen is also wearing a suit today. Like Yue Song, he is a tall and long-legged clothes rack with a good face. Like Yue Song, he attracted the attention of some people, and they wondered if he was a little star. As for the middle-aged woman, Zhang Yansheng also knew that she is Xu Lichen¡¯s mother. In her previous life, she had met with her several times, but had never talked to her. She only watched Xu Lichen talking to her from a distance. At that time, the relationship between the mother and son was not very good. Xu Lichen was kind to her because he knew her suffering. With his detached character, he was really patient with her. But at that time, Mother Xu was always dissatisfied with Xu Lichen. Every time she saw him, her brows were always frowned, there were bitter lines on her mouth, and her expression was stern. She would occasionally cast a glance at Zhang Yansheng, with obvious dislike in her eyes. At that time, Zhang Yansheng was riding a motorcycle, and multiple tattoos could be seen on the skin of her clothes. She also had a strangely colored head and put on makeup that could not see her original appearance. But now, Zhang Yansheng is standing there. Holding a small bag that matches the clothes in one hand, and holding her clean, soft, and cute sister in the other. Although the color of the lipstick is brighter, the face is clean and the temperament is cold. At first glance, she is a young girl with a good background and a strong aggressive personality. But Mother Xu likes such girls. In contrast, she hates those weak little white flowers and hypocritical green tea ladies. She likes this kind of clear and strong woman. When Xu Lichen opened his mouth to introduce them to each other, Zhang Yansheng called out, ¡°Hello, Auntie.¡± Zhang Heling was also well-behaved and polite: ¡°Hello, Auntie!¡± The expression on Mother Xu¡¯s face stretched out and her eyebrows were smiling: ¡°Hello, you girls are Zhang Huan¡¯s daughters, right? I know your father.¡± She looks a few points younger and a few points better than when she was about the same age in her previous life. After all, a woman always frowns and has deep bitter lines on her mouth. She can see the weight of life in her expression, and she really can¡¯t look good. Zhang Yansheng said, ¡°My father and the producers are over there, and all investors are over there as well. Would you like to go over there?¡± Mother Xu nodded: ¡°Okay, you guys play first.¡± Xu Lichen also accompanied her to go over the group. He greeted the director and producer, and introduced his mother to them. This is another parent. Mother Xu quickly integrated into the group of middle-aged people and said to Xu Lichen: ¡°You don¡¯t need to accompany me here, go with your classmate.¡± Xu Lichen nodded, greeted the producer and director again, and went to find Zhang Yansheng. Zhang Yansheng watched from a distance, and when she saw Mother Xu talking to Xu Lichen, her brows were patient and gentle. But compared to her attitude towards him in the previous life, Xu Lichen and his mother in this life seem to be kind and filial, but in reality, there is a slight estrangement. Most people can¡¯t tell, but Zhang Yansheng is familiar with Xu Lichen and knows how their mother and son got along in their previous lives, so she can find this out. But this can¡¯t be helped, you can get some in life and lose some at the same time. Those who get something means that it will always cost something in return. ¡°You should wait to see my performance later.¡± Xu Lichen said triumphantly, ¡°Don¡¯t cry when I die.¡± ¡°Wow, Big Brother Xu, are you acting as that kind of sacrificial hero?¡± Zhang Heling asked excitedly. ¡°Yes, it¡¯s a particularly tragic kind of hero! It¡¯ll be very easy for you to cry~¡± Xu Lichen looked around, eager to tell everyone that he had also participated in the movie. Well, it doesn¡¯t matter, they will all see it later anyway. He looked around and saw his mother talking to Zhang Huan and Yue Song. People who come from the same place, and those who know each other, will naturally come to approach. ¡°Shock! Why is that big brother so happy to be surrounded by middle-aged Mediterranean people?¡± He said exaggeratedly. ¡°When did you go to work in the UC Shock Department?¡±1UCÕ𾪲¿ ¨C The UC Shock Department is actually the title party on the UC browser. Various spam advertisements often appear on UC browsers, and most of the headlines start with shock, such as: Shock! 99.99% of people don¡¯t know how to die! Shock! The President of the United States was stunned when he saw it! Because there are so many ¡°shocked¡± articles, netizens think that UC must have a shock department dedicated to publishing such articles, so the UC shock department was born to tease UC¡¯s way of taking titles. Zhang Yansheng was speechless. ¡°In the future, do we have to do this too? Mixing with a group of middle-aged and elderly people?¡± Xu Lichen asked, rubbing his chin. ¡°When the time comes, you will be middle-aged and elderly, thank you.¡± Zhang Yansheng laughed at him. ¡°Tsk, it¡¯s still early for that day, I¡¯m still young and handsome.¡± Xu Lichen said, ¡°But Lao Yue is a bit miserable. He is young and wants to mix with your dad.¡± ¡°¡­¡± Zhang Yan said, ¡°Lao Yue?¡± ¡°You went upstairs yesterday after dinner, and the two of us went out for a drink again.¡± Xu Lichen said, ¡°We are already buddies now.¡± Zhang Yansheng was curious: ¡°You were together? What did you talk about?¡± ¡°What else can we talk about?¡± Xu Lichen teased. ¡°This warrior asked me about you.¡± Zhang Yansheng said: ¡°What¡¯s with the warrior term?¡± ¡°Those who dare to like you are warriors.¡± Xu Lichen sighed, ¡°Those who are as ignorant as I was are fearless.¡± Last night he clinked his glass with Yue Song¡¯s: ¡°I respect your courage. Don¡¯t misunderstand our relationship. If Zhang Yansheng needs me, I can go through fire and water for her, and I will do whatever it takes! But! But! When I see her every day, I have the feeling of looking back and seeing the face of the head teacher coming out of the small window at the back of the classroom! My heart can¡¯t stand it. I hope you can handle it.¡± Zhang Yansheng: ¡°¡­¡± Zhang Yansheng then stepped on Xu Lichen¡¯s foot. Xu Lichen¡¯s face became marvelous. Zhang Heling suddenly punched him! ¡°I knew it! I guessed it right!¡± She became excited, ¡°Sister, Big Brother Yue wants to chase you, right? I really felt that something was wrong yesterday!¡± All of a sudden, she feels so smart and social! Xu Lichen tried his best to save his feet, and said with emotion: ¡°The whole world can see that Lao Yue has bad intentions towards you. Uncle Zhang is the only one who is so silly and sweet.¡± The premiere is about to begin, and everyone has entered the theater. After entering the screening hall, the investors and their entourage were led to the front row to sit with the filmmakers, directors, and producers. When they got to the seat, Yue Song bowed to Zhang Huan, and Zhang Huan bowed to Mother Xu. Mother Xu nodded and walked in first before Zhang Huan walked in. But Yue Song didn¡¯t move, and Zhang Yansheng didn¡¯t move either. Xu Lichen walked in first with a wink. Zhang Yansheng led Zhang Heling in. She took a seat, but didn¡¯t see Yue Song behind her. When she looked over, she saw him still standing there, saying something to a film crew member wearing a badge. The staff nodded and ran away. Yue Song just came in and sat down next to Zhang Heling and Zhang Yansheng. ¡°I heard that Lichen also participated in the movie.¡± He said, ¡°And after that, he wanted to be an actor now, right?¡± One is Lao Yue and the other one is Lichen. Friendship between men really happened so fast. Zhang Yansheng nodded and spoke for Xu Lichen: ¡°He is serious about it, so it¡¯s very good for him.¡± Xu Lichen poked his head over: ¡°Why did I hear my name? Are you speaking ill about me?¡± Yue Song sneered: ¡°We¡¯re praising you.¡± Xu Lichen let out a chuckle and retracted his head. Yue Song asked again, ¡°How about you? Where do you want to take the college entrance exam in the future?¡± Zhang Yansheng didn¡¯t actually have a specific target school in her mind. Like the Top 2 in Q University and B University, her grades are not enough to get to any of these schools. She was thinking that after the college entrance examination, she would look at the results before making a decision. But now, she has a target school. ¡°K University,¡± she said. There was brilliance in her eyes. The eyes are the windows of the soul and can speak. Yue Song¡¯s eyes also flashed with brilliance. The two looked at each other across Zhang Heling¡¯s head and smiled. The staff member who ran away just now came back, holding a large bucket of popcorn and handed it over: ¡°Young Master Yue.¡± ¡°Thank you.¡± Yue Song took it and gave it to Zhang Heling, ¡°Here you are.¡± ¡°Wow! Thank you, Big Brother!¡± Zhang Heling¡¯s favorability for big brother Yue has risen steadily! Xu Lichen probed his brain: ¡°Where is mine? I have none?¡± Very dissatisfied, he stretched out his hand to call the staff member: ¡°Give me a bucket too!¡± The staff ran away again and came back again. After a while, Xu Lichen also had a bucket of popcorn. He also generously asked Zhang Yansheng, ¡°Want to have some?¡± Zhang Yansheng: ¡°¡­¡± Zhang Heling was reminded, looked around, and said generously: ¡°Big Brother Yue, Sister, you eat too.¡± ¡°Thank you.¡± Yue Song stretched out his hand and picked one. Under the light, Zhang Heling saw the ring on his index finger. ¡°Hey, Big Brother Yue, what does it mean to wear a ring on your index finger?¡± Zhang Heling asked. Yue Song put popcorn in his mouth: ¡°It means that I¡¯m single.¡± Zhang Heling became clever now: ¡°My sister is also single!¡± Zhang Yansheng pressed the top of her head: ¡°Can¡¯t you close your mouth when you eat?¡± Zhang Heling was pressed to shrink her neck. Yue Song smiled. Turning his eyes, he saw Zhang Yansheng¡¯s slender and delicate wrists above Zhang Heling¡¯s head, which was very interesting. Xu Lichen said that she was a strange woman. If it weren¡¯t for watching those koala-hugging videos and seeing her hug Zhang Heling easily with his own eyes, Yue Song would really find it hard to believe that such a slender arm has so much power. On that wrist, a string of a unique style bracelet also faintly reflected the light. Yue Song suddenly felt that this design style looked familiar. He has seen it. ¡°Salvatore¡¯s design?¡± He rubbed his chin and recalled, ¡°This is the girl power series, right?¡± Zhang Yansheng was slightly surprised: ¡°You know?¡± Zhang Yansheng liked this bracelet very much, and later paid attention to the designer, knowing that he was a very niche designer. Unexpectedly, Yue Song actually knew about it too. ¡°I like his designs very much. He is very unique.¡± Yue Song raised his hand with the ring, ¡°This is also his work.¡± ¡°He has a unique style and has his own ideas in the design.¡± Zhang Yansheng agreed, ¡°I also like this bracelet very much. I will take it out and wear it when I am not in school.¡± Zhang Heling raised her head, a little proud: ¡°I bought it! I gave it as a birthday gift to my sister!¡± Yue Song suddenly paused. Salvatore¡¯s work. This design of the girl power series. Birthday gift from an elementary school student sister to a high school student sister¡­ He was silent for so long that Zhang Yansheng and Zhang Heling both looked at him: ¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡± Yue Song asked Zhang Heling slowly: ¡°You, you wouldn¡¯t be¡­¡± He paused and, with some difficulty, he said the magical name that is generally hard to forget under the spell: ¡°¡­PurpleEyes?ColdStare?BlackHairTurnedIntoWhite?¡± CH 125 There is a kind of shame in this world called ¡®shame for others¡¯. Zhang Yansheng had never been ashamed of her unorthodox hairstyle and makeup in her previous life. But when Zhang Heling said in surprise: ¡°Hey, Big Brother Yue, how do you know my game ID?¡±, she didn¡¯t expect to be ashamed of Zhang Heling in this life and she was really embarrassed. Without discussing the meaning and ridiculousness of this name, Zhang Yansheng felt numb on her scalp and asked, ¡°How do you know my sister¡¯s game ID?¡± This¡­ so she is¡­ Yue Song covered his face with one hand. ¡°Xiao He went to the game to ask what gifts she should buy for you. Some people are not good and want to be friends with her. I just warned her¡­ in private, and then recommended this designer to her.¡± He explained. Zhang Heling reacted: ¡°You are that big brother! Sister, sister! It turns out that Big Brother Yue is the big brother I met in the game! I just bought this bracelet for you after listening to his recommendation!¡± Her face collapsed again: ¡°However, you deleted him afterwards¡­ and I was not allowed to add friends with strangers¡­¡± So, he was the one that¡­ Seeing Zhang Yansheng¡¯s eyes change, Yue Song hurriedly defended himself: ¡°It¡¯s Xiao He who added me first and I only talked to her three times in total. The first time was when we joined the same team together, the second time was because I was afraid that some bad guys would cheat and talk to her privately, and the third time was when she said she needs to buy a gift for you, and then I was deleted by you.¡± It¡¯s really peculiar. Zhang Yansheng rubbed her forehead: ¡°Why are you still playing games?¡± Yue Song was speechless: ¡°I am not much older than you, I am still a student. Don¡¯t think of me as an old man.¡± He said that he was still a student, wearing a delicate and crisp suit, with a collar that fits tightly around his neck, and a snow-white shirt. When he spoke, his Adam¡¯s apple moved slightly, handsome and sexy. As soon as the deserted eyebrows and eyes smiled, it was like spring flowers blooming and the breeze was blowing. Zhang Heling looked to the left, looked to the right, looked around and suddenly realized something. ¡°You guys! You two!¡± She announced her great discovery, ¡°It means that you have spoken already before you met in person!¡± The little girl¡¯s words seemed to light up something. Yue Song and Zhang Yansheng looked at each other. Zhang Heling was excited: ¡°Wow, this is really¡­ so sweet!¡± What is sweet? What have you been watching all day long? Zhang Yansheng heard Yue Song say to Zhang Heling: ¡°After all, we are all in the same city, maybe we have passed by many times without knowing.¡± Zhang Yansheng raised her eyes. It¡¯s true. She brushed shoulders with him at the beginning of rebirth. The fate between them even goes back to their previous lives. Yue Song also raised his eyes to look at her. He thought, just as he looked at her in the spotlight of the auction hall, about his disappointment that he failed to meet her at his cousin¡¯s auction event. He used to resist getting acquainted with her, but now he feels that he should have known her earlier. Zhang Heling was so excited by the feeling described in Yue Song¡¯s words, and asked, ¡°By the way, Big Brother Yue, what is your game ID name again? What kind of pine is it?¡± Yuesong said: ¡°ListeningToPineByTheCreek.¡± But he heard Zhang Yansheng¡¯s voice ¡°huh¡±. When Zhang Yansheng deleted his sister¡¯s gaming friend, she didn¡¯t remember the other party¡¯s game ID at all. She had an impression of the name ¡°ListeningToPineByTheCreek¡±, but it was because several classmates had been whispering in her ears during those days: ¡°This ListeningToPineByTheCreek is really a tyrant, like a domineering president.¡± ¡°Yes, he can release 100,000 yuan in just a wave of his hand. Look at the time when he sent the rewards to our accounts, they were only one or two minutes apart.¡± ¡°I really want to meet this person. He¡¯s really a domineering president.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t be stupid, if you have money to this extent, you must already be a bald beer belly uncle.¡± ¡°I hate you, can¡¯t people at least dream? But you have to uncover how skinny reality is.¡± ¡°You are¡­¡± Zhang Yansheng said in surprise, ¡°The video platform¡­¡± Yue Song pursed his lips and smiled: ¡°As I said before, I paid attention to you.¡± Zhang Yansheng was stunned, not knowing how to describe her feelings. Fortunately, the lights went out and the spotlights on the stage came on. Everyone turned their heads and looked around. The producer took the stage and expressed his feelings about the current situation and dreams of domestic science fiction, and finally said: ¡°Whether this dream can be realized or not, I will leave it to everyone to verify.¡± When he got off the stage, the big screen lit up. Xu Lichen: ¡°Be quiet! Be quiet! Stop talking!¡± The movie begins. ¡­¡­ ¡­¡­After Xu Lichen covered the retreat, he had only one arm left and shouted, ¡°Go! Go! Leave me alone!¡± The comrades-in-arms guarded the scientists and retreated, looking back at him with tears in their eyes. Xu Lichen¡¯s face was covered with smoke and dust from explosions and flames. He watched his companions pass through the gate at the end of the corridor. The gate was closed¡­ Turning his head, the gate on the other side in front of him had been forcibly opened by the enemy. Xu Lichen yelled frantically and fired into the door. The bullets finally ran out, and the guns made a clicking sound. Xu Lichen dropped the gun and took off the thunder-like handle around his waist with one arm. ¡°Goodbye, Earth.¡± He bit the safety plug with his mouth and shed tears. The enemy broke in, trying to catch him alive, and tortured him to get the coordinates of the earth. The tide rushed towards him like water. Xu Lichen pulled out the safety plug with his mouth, and the thunder-like handle exploded into a group of red fireworks with a thunderous sound. We die together and never leave a living thing for the enemy! Zhang Huan shed tears. Zhang Heling cried like a dog! Although Zhang Yansheng knew that the director had added a scene to Xu Lichen later, she didn¡¯t expect to give him this scene. There are only two lines from Xu Lichen. Before this scene, he played an ordinary soldier with the same background. This final shot of sacrifice, if Zhang Yansheng remembers correctly, was originally given to the actor who looked back at Xu Lichen in tears. That actor became popular because of this scene. As a group portrait drama,¡¶Leaving the Solar System¡·became popular with a group of unknown actors. The plot of the movie was only filmed in the first few decades of the original novel. The Advance ship was destroyed, and the crew captured the enemy ship. After a lot of hard work, they finally returned to the solar system. When Earth appeared in the field of vision, the temporary captain who was in danger let out a long breath ¡ª ¡°We are back.¡± ¡°Sorry for the bad news.¡± ¡°Earth, please be prepared.¡± The powerful and sad BGM sounded, the long subtitles slid, and thunderous applause rang out in the theater. The lights turned on and the darkness was gone, everyone hurriedly wiped away the tears on their faces. Not to mention Zhang Heling, even Zhang Huan¡¯s eyes were red. Xu Lichen cried like a dog for a long time. In the previous life, he just watched it numerous times and cried once! Speaking of which, who didn¡¯t have a martial arts dream or a sci-fi soul when he was young. Even Yue Song¡¯s eyes were reddish. Looking around, Zhang Yansheng was the only one who was sullen, but apparently did not cry. It¡¯s not that she is cold-blooded, it¡¯s really just¡­ she has been with Xu Lichen in her previous life and has done it 10 times! Zhang Huan, a man who didn¡¯t bring a tissue on his body, asked Zhang Yansheng for it. Zhang Yansheng took a tissue from her bag and gave it to Zhang Huan. Xu Lichen also asked for one: ¡°To tell you the truth, I didn¡¯t really want to shed tears at that scene. Director Xie was talking about the drama of that scene at that time, saying that as long as I was heroic, I could make others shed tears. As a result, when I said that line, d*mn it, tears have their own will! I burst into tears! Director Xie said it was very good, so he kept it!¡± Zhang Huan wiped his eyes and wiped his nose, and said to Mother Xu, ¡°Xiao Xu has done so well! He said he wanted to be an actor, and I thought he was just playing. But now, I think it¡¯s okay!¡± Mother Xu also dipped her eyes with a tissue, her nose was a little red, and she smiled: ¡°He can do whatever he wants, and I will support him.¡± The screening is over, but there¡¯s still a lot of segments afterwards. Including the producer, director and some major actors have all taken the stage. The biggest investor also took the stage to speak. That film and television company invested 150 million yuan. The smile on the person¡¯ face, who came on the stage, shows that he was very satisfied with this investment. When the premiere was completely over, the audience was interviewed by the media, and many people came to take pictures with the actors and directors. Xu Lichen was also recognized, and many people came to him enthusiastically for a group photo. Xu Lichen stopped there, but he didn¡¯t have any stage fright at all. His eyes were flying and his pose was very celebrity style! Zhang Yansheng felt that perhaps Xu Lichen was really delayed in her previous life, and maybe he is really suitable for the entertainment industry. Zhang Huan asked her, ¡°Will you have dinner with the film party later?¡± Zhang Yansheng said, ¡°You can represent us. I agreed to take Hehe to the snack street.¡± Zhang Heling wiped her red nose with a tissue again, her eyes swollen, and said, ¡°Sister, let¡¯s go quickly, I¡¯m starving to death!¡± She obviously ate a lot of popcorn! Xu Lichen got rid of the fans, leaned on his mother and said: ¡°I¡¯m not going either, I¡¯ll go to the snack street with them.¡± ¡°Okay.¡± Mother Xu nodded, ¡°Have fun.¡± Yue Song came over and said, ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡± ¡°Hey, Xiao Yue, are you not going with us either?¡± Zhang Huan asked. Yue Song smiled and said: ¡°I¡¯m going with Lichen.¡± Zhang Huan¡¯s outlook on Xu Lichen has greatly changed now, and he nodded: ¡°Okay, well, you, young people go and have fun. It is incumbent upon us as parents to do these annoying things.¡± Three young people led a child out, and they heard two parents complimenting each other there. One of them said that Xiao Xu is talented and can become a great weapon in the future. The other one said that your daughter has an investment vision, and it is enviable that you have such a daughter. Xu Lichen laughed with a trembling shoulder, and said to Zhang Yansheng: ¡°It¡¯s useless to please him in every way. In the end, I conquered your dad by acting.¡± In the west side of the complex where the hotel is located is the famous commercial pedestrian street in B City, and there is also a famous snack street inside. Yue Song and Xu Lichen were both dressed in neat suits. It was quite appropriate to have air conditioning in the building. When they arrived outside, although it was dark, the temperature did not cool down at all. They both took off their suits and wore only shirts. One is wearing a white shirt and the other one is wearing a black shirt. Zhang Yansheng lowered his head and whispered something to Zhang Heling. Zhang Heling couldn¡¯t hold back and laughed. ¡°What are you laughing at?¡± Xu Lichen said, ¡°Quickly, tell me.¡± Zhang Heling covered her mouth: ¡°You two are black and white, like black and white impermanence.¡± Yue Song and Xu Lichen glanced at each other, then each moved to the other side and moved farther away. Zhang Heling was about to laugh to death. When they arrived at the snack street, Xu Lichen and Zhang Heling were released into the wild, and went to the stalls that were crowded. Zhang Yansheng asked Yue Song at this time: ¡°Why did you give me a reward of 100,000 yuan?¡± Although they haven¡¯t known each other for a long time, no matter how you look at it, Yue Song is not the kind of person who is bored enough to chase stars for rewards. What¡¯s more, it¡¯s a kind of crude and earthy video made by high school students! ¡°I saw you going out with your classmates during your short vacation and had stayed in a youth hostel. To be honest, I was a little surprised. That kind of environment is a bit unacceptable to me.¡± Yue Song calmly admitted his worries at the time, ¡°I also thought that since you have a stepmother in your family, I¡¯m worried that you will be treated wrongly in her hands. So, I just used some money to test it out.¡± Zhang Yansheng didn¡¯t expect this to be the case. There were some ripples in her heart. However¡­ ¡°I¡¯m not that useless yet, so I won¡¯t let a stepmother abuse me.¡± She said, ¡°Moreover, didn¡¯t you know from Big Sister Mo that I invested tens of millions of yuan in this movie, how could you think that I have no money?¡± ¡°It¡¯s better to know.¡± Yue Song said. Although it is evening already, in the heart of a metropolis, there is no moonlight and it is full of city lights. The neon light hit the young man¡¯s face, sometimes yellow-orange and sometimes red-orange. His gaze fell on Zhang Yansheng¡¯s face: ¡°But worrying makes my heart confused.¡± CH 126 In July, in B City, the night wind is hot. Zhang Yansheng moved her fingers lightly, feeling as if her fingertips had touched an electric current. A trace of numbness, a trace of itching. ¡°I especially want to know more now.¡± She said, ¡°What kind of person are you?¡± Yue Song smiled and said cheerfully: ¡°Don¡¯t worry, our time is long, you can get to know me slowly.¡± Xu Lichen Holding four strings of fried scorpions rushed over: ¡°Eat it while it¡¯s hot! Eat it while it¡¯s hot!¡± Zhang Heling followed. She hasn¡¯t finished the grilled squid yet, and she is a little anxious: ¡°Wait for me to finish this!¡± The charming atmosphere was broken up, and Yue Song said, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, eat slowly.¡± The two sisters who returned to the hotel room after having a good time in the evening found that their father had just returned, and he was really drunk. Zhang Huan was obviously in a good mood, and lay down on the sofa: ¡°Yanyan, your investment is stable!¡± Zhang Yansheng was silent for a while, then asked, ¡°What about the thing you said before, the ¡®don¡¯t be stimulated by the pleasure of making money¡¯?¡± ¡°What are you talking about?¡± Zhang Huan said angrily, ¡°Dad is not happy because of money.¡± Zhang Yansheng: ¡°?¡± ¡°Now, I think your uncle and aunt will be so embarrassed to rub us secretly.¡± Zhang Huan cocked his feet and hummed a little song. ¡°Sister, I also think this movie will definitely make money!¡± Zhang Heling also leaned in, ¡°It¡¯s so beautiful! When Big Brother Xu died, I cried!¡± ¡°All right.¡± Zhang Yansheng could only say, ¡°Anyway, if you don¡¯t make money, just keep a low profile.¡± Zhang Huan said, ¡°Isn¡¯t that what I taught you?¡± The father and daughters returned to K City the next day. Yue Song failed to go back with them. Knowing that he had gone to B City, old man Yue Qifeng sent him a job, and he had to go to a city further north. Xu Lichen continued to stay in B City for class, and his mother stayed to accompany him. She also happened to have business to discuss in B City. She went back two days later. The father and daughters happily returned to their home in K City. Zhang Huan asked Liang Yingying: ¡°Did Shuoshuo cause trouble in the past two days?¡± ¡°His skin is dead. He¡¯s going to turn the sky upside down.¡± Liang Yingying is well versed in speaking skills, ¡°Thanks to me looking after him, I am so exhausted.¡± But Zhang Huan felt that it was a matter of course to be a mother to watch her children. So, Liang Yingying¡¯s winks were purely thrown at the blind man. The movie was immediately released in major cities across the country. On the first day of its release, Zhao Lanfen took Zhang Qi to see it. At the cinema, the two of them were surprised: ¡°So many people?¡± When the movie was finished, there was the same applause in the cinema as at the premiere. When Zhao Lanfen and Zhang Qi walked out, their expressions were not very good. ¡°Think about it.¡± Zhao Lanfen said forcibly, ¡°It¡¯s about aliens and a spaceship. It¡¯s such a niche, maybe it¡¯s not really a good one?¡± This is really lying with your eyes open. Sci-fi films have accounted for the vast majority of the films that have been released over the years. Even those that burn brains and many people can¡¯t understand are sold out. It¡¯s as if they are saying that the movie is only ¡®applauded but not admired¡¯. So, audiences who are still interested and enthusiastically discussing the plot in the halls, corridors, and elevators, aren¡¯t they also people? In short, people only want to believe what they want to believe. Zhang Qi nodded heavily: ¡°Hmm!¡± But how could the reality be as they wished?¡¶Leaving the Solar System¡·was released half a year in advance in this life, but the trend has not changed, and the box office broke 200-million yuan on the first day! This first-day data tells people that this will be a big hit movie. When Zhang Huan knocked on his mother¡¯s office with this data head over heels, his brother happened to be there too. ¡°Mom, look at this, the movie of Yanyan is going to be a big hit.¡± Zhang Huan showed off beaming, ¡°Look, the box office on the first day was 200 million yuan!¡± The old lady put on her reading glasses and took a look. She was also happy, but she still scolded him: ¡°Look at you, you look breathless. Have you seen the money already?¡± ¡°Such a paradox, am I not happy for the child?¡± Zhang Yu was surprised: ¡°Is the data so good?¡± Zhang Huan strongly recommended: ¡°Brother, if you have time, then you should watch it. To tell you the truth, the movie was really good and made me cry! Hehe cried into a little tearful girl!¡± ¡°Oh, can you still cry?¡± The old lady looked at him from behind her reading glasses, ¡°Then I have to go and see what kind of movie it is. Let¡¯s contribute to Yanyan¡¯s box office!¡± Zhang Huan immediately volunteered: ¡°I will accompany you. I¡¯ll watch it for the second time!¡± There is a cinema in the building next to them. Zhang Huan immediately asked the secretary to buy tickets for them. Zhang Yu said, ¡°Take me with you.¡± As a result, the secretary came to report: ¡°It¡¯s already full today and there are no available tickets at all. Tomorrow, the only available seats are on the corners, and there are no three seats connected together. You can only buy tickets for the day after tomorrow at the earliest.¡± ¡°Ooh! It¡¯s so full!¡± Zhang Huan was even more beaming, ¡°It¡¯s okay, then buy tickets for the day after tomorrow!¡± Zhang Yu went home and told his wife, ¡°Yanyan¡¯s movie is quite popular. Mom wanted to go and see it, but she couldn¡¯t buy a ticket, so she had to buy the ticket for the day after tomorrow.¡± Zhao Lanfen was lacking in interest and gave a cold ¡°oh¡±. Zhang Yu was kind of embarrassed. Two days later, the mother and sons, who were more than 170 years old in total, went to see the movie together. The old lady is old, but her mind is not old, so she can quite accept the genre of this story. She also praised the humanity shown in the movie, especially Xu Lichen: ¡°I really didn¡¯t expect that kid Xiao Xu, who looked stingy, did a good job.¡± This movie doesn¡¯t need to look at the box office data enthusiastically reported by the media every day. Just look at the full audience in the cinema and the full schedule on the big screen. You can see that it is stable. Very stable. The movie was really good-looking. When Zhang Yu came home, he thought about it and decided not to talk to his wife, so as to save her from being unhappy again. His wife couldn¡¯t think too much. If Yanyan lost, it would be the Zhang family¡¯s money that would be lost. You really can¡¯t write two words in one stroke. Yue Song came back on this day. Before he came back, he called Zhang Yansheng and said, ¡°I will go back tomorrow. Lichen will not go back until the class is over two days later. I want to ask if you want to go out to the sea together for a few days and take Xiao He with you.¡± Zhang Yansheng also knows that as a high school student, it is indeed inappropriate for her to travel alone with male college students. Age is really a mishap. Yue Song¡¯s arrangement is just right, and it can be seen that he is an attentive and thoughtful person. A few days later, Xu Lichen also came back after finishing his acting classes, and he accompanied Yue Song to pick up Zhang Yansheng and her sister. Zhang Yansheng¡¯s whereabouts have never been reported to Zhang Huan, unless it is useful to Zhang Huan. But because she wanted to take Zhang Heling with her, she still had to inform Zhang Huan about it. Hearing that Xu Lichen and Yue Song were both going, Zhang Huan thought it was fine for his daughters to go too. There are quite a few children playing together, as it should be. It¡¯s just that he used to have a stiff relationship with Zhang Yansheng, so he didn¡¯t take her out to meet the children of acquaintances. Now that she is older, she has established a social circle for herself. This kind of relationship is not that just precious, but really precious. The Xu family and Yue family are very good, and Zhang Huan thinks it¡¯s pretty good that the children can play together. Zhang Heling is extremely happy! She likes going out with her sister the most! She sat in the back row with Zhang Yansheng, chattering all the way, and Xu Lichen gagged and laughed constantly along the way. K City is not directly facing the sea, so four people drove for three hours and arrived at the port. All their families have yachts there, so they decided to use the Yue family¡¯s yacht this time. ¡°Wow, your family has a nice yacht.¡± Xu Lichen looked around when he got on the boat, ¡°It¡¯s bigger than ours.¡± This yacht is not a small one driven by oneself. It is a yacht with full-time helmsman and service personnel, which can hold parties and weddings. Zhang Heling couldn¡¯t help being curious when she boarded this kind of private yacht for the first time. She asked Zhang Yansheng, ¡°Sister, does our family also have a yacht?¡± Zhang Yansheng looked far away, and there were more than a hundred private yachts parked in the port. Zhang Yansheng pointed in one direction and said, ¡°I remember it was parked over there.¡± She later used that yacht to hold parties, spending money like water. Zhang Heling said inexplicably: ¡°Since our family has a yacht, why does Dad never take us up to play?¡± This is really a question of the soul. Because the most useful purpose of that yacht is to bring beauty to Zhang Huan. Zhang Huan is a person who treats himself well. Zhang Yansheng patted Zhang Heling on the top of her head: ¡°Because you were too young before, we can all come up and play in the summer.¡± Zhang Heling became happy. The yacht sailed into the sea. There are many scattered small islands in this sea area. Some have scattered villagers and some are uninhabited. Barbecue on the sandy beach of the uninhabited island, pick up shells, catch small crabs, and relax. Yue Song¡¯s yacht also has brand new children¡¯s diving suits, which were specially prepared for Zhang Heling at first glance. Although Zhang Heling can swim and dive, Yue Song assigned a staff member to keep an eye on her. The staff member is a professional lifeguard and has a diving instructor certificate. The care is evident. But when Yue Song took Zhang Heling to go fishing in a rubber dinghy, Zhang Yansheng and Xu Lichen were on the deck. The sky is blue, the sea breeze is cool, and seagulls are circling in the sky, chirping. In such a comfortable environment, Zhang Yansheng and Xu Lichen sat next to each other¡­ doing their homework. ¡°High school students in public schools are really hard working! There is a lot of homework that is scary.¡± Zhang Heling let out a big sigh, ¡°When we went to B City, my sister also brought her homework. My dad felt sorry for her and said that she could make up for it once we go back, but my sister insists on writing every day!¡± ¡°Your sister is a very willful person.¡± Yue Song praised with a smile, ¡°You will be like her in the future.¡± ¡°No, my sister has to inherit the family business, so she needs to work hard. I don¡¯t need it.¡± Zhang Heling said naturally. Yue Song was a little surprised: ¡°Do you still know about inheriting the family business at a young age?¡± Zhang Heling paused. In fact, in the past, Liang Yingying didn¡¯t care about her children¡¯s studies. The most she said was: ¡°You all have money that you can¡¯t spend for a lifetime, and it¡¯s all worth it.¡± But after Zhang Yansheng took 30 million yuan to invest, Liang Yingying felt a sense of crisis and began to change her words. She often grabbed Zhang Shuocheng¡¯s ears and said, ¡°Study hard, otherwise Zhang Yansheng will inherit the family business!¡± Zhang Heling knew that this was not good, so she paused and said unnaturally: ¡°I just heard it from my dad.¡± How could the change in the child¡¯s expression and tone deceive Yue Song? Thinking of the situation in Zhang Yansheng¡¯s family, he knew that although it seemed that she and her sister were getting along well, there must be some discord and rivalry between her and her stepmother. She herself said that she¡¯s not that useless, so she won¡¯t let a stepmother abused her. It can be seen that because of her strength, her stepmother can¡¯t bully her. But it¡¯s not that she doesn¡¯t want to be bullied. Yue Song looked at the deep sea, feeling distressed. On the yacht, Zhang Yansheng was losing her temper with Xu Lichen: ¡°You haven¡¯t written for so many days?¡± Xu Lichen scratched his head: ¡°That¡¯s weird! I obviously remember that I didn¡¯t write only for two or three days. How could it be so much worse? Weird, so weird! Could it be that there is a problem with my memory?¡± That evening, Yue Song¡¯s yacht received a wireless call, and someone was planning to organize a yacht party. Many yachts drive to a certain sea area and then connect to each other, so everyone can move around among the yachts at will. The staff came holding the communicator to ask for instructions on whether they would like to participate. Before Yue Song spoke, Zhang Yansheng took it and answered back: ¡°Please confirm what level it is? We have children here.¡± It¡¯s just that the doorway and connotation inside are obviously clear. Xu Lichen hadn¡¯t gotten started yet, and Zhang Heling didn¡¯t understand anything at all. Only Yue Song¡¯s eyes became complicated. CH 127 Enchantress12-15 minutes 08.04.2022 The other party obviously understood very well, ??laughed ¡°haha¡± twice, and replied: ¡°It¡¯s summer vacation now, so most of the families have brought their children, so don¡¯t worry.¡± He also told Zhang Yansheng that two yachts have already taken the initiative to assume the responsibility of the ¡®children¡¯s paradise¡¯, so the children will not be bored. That sounds great, Zhang Yansheng told the other party that she would reply for the confirmation later. After cutting off the communication, she looked at Yue Song. After all, this is Yue Song¡¯s yacht, and he has the final say whether to participate or not. Yue Song looked at her differently from usual. Zhang Yansheng raised her eyebrows. Yue Song didn¡¯t say anything in front of Xu Lichen and Zhang Heling. After turning around to discuss with the staff, he gave Zhang Yansheng confirmation. Zhang Yansheng replied to the organizer and finalized that their yacht would participate and would provide food for the barbecue. ¡°Bingo!¡± Xu Lichen commended exaggeratedly, ¡°This trip is worth it!¡± Because this kind of activity is not always possible, first of all, there must be a strong leader to coordinate in the middle, and then everyone must respond in order to gather popularity. You¡¯re lucky if you chance upon one. ¡°I want to study hard and see what to do with this party.¡± He said, ¡°I will organize it myself from now on!¡± Sure enough, Xu Lichen was still Xu Lichen. The last thing he lacked in his previous life was a party. There was a carnival all night in those villas, and when you woke up the next day, you¡¯ll see a mess everywhere, and people were indescribably empty in the sun. But after all, there is something different. When Xu Lichen said this, his eyebrows fluttered and he was elated, but he didn¡¯t have the decadent feeling of drunkenness and dreaming in his previous life. Zhang Heling was also so excited that she asked a lot of questions about the party. However, the two older brothers and her elder sister can only tell her: ¡°We haven¡¯t seen it yet, so how can we know?¡± It made her itchy. When Zhang Heling and Xu Lichen were clamoring to go up to the jacuzzi on the top floor, Yue Song walked behind and suddenly grabbed Zhang Yansheng¡¯s wrist. Zhang Yansheng was caught by him, so she turned around to look at him in surprise. There was no one else on the deck. In the bronze-golden light at dusk, Yue Song stared at the young girl who was still in high school, and asked in a low voice, ¡°Why do you know so much?¡± Zhang Yansheng couldn¡¯t understand what he was asking. She was not flustered. As a reborn person, it is inevitable that from time to time, her body will reveal things that are inconsistent with her current age. This is inevitable. Fortunately, as she gets older and older, this kind of thing will become less and less, and it will get better and better. But as for this time, in front of her¡­¡­ Zhang Yansheng threw the pot to Zhang Huan without hesitation: ¡°My dad¡¯s private life is a bit messy.¡± Although it was throwing the pot, it was also telling a big truth. Zhang Yansheng dared to bet her life that Zhang Huan must have attended such an adult-level party. He is absolutely not wronged for carrying the pot. In the setting sun, a distressed look flashed clearly in Yue Song¡¯s eyes. He stretched out his hand, just like Zhang Yansheng used to do to Zhang Heling, and touched the top of her head: ¡°You have worked hard.¡± That gentleness is also the same as in the previous life. Zhang Yansheng stared at him for a long time, then said, ¡°I know more than you think. I am just such a person. Are you disappointed?¡± Everything you experience will leave indelible traces on your body. She can¡¯t pretend to be that kind of pure little white rabbit-like girl. It¡¯s better to reveal her true side. Yue Song¡¯s attention to her should have started with those videos with her classmates. His understanding of her is based on the empty foundation, so naturally his expectations of her may not be down-to-earth enough. If he can¡¯t accept the real her, it means that they have no fate. Perhaps the encounter in the previous life was just to be an ordinary friend in this life, and not something else. ¡°What¡¯s to be disappointed about?¡± Yue Song sighed softly, ¡°You are what I expected. It¡¯s just that when I really saw something like this, I still felt uncomfortable.¡± Zhang Yansheng asked in surprise: ¡°What do you think? What do you expect me to be like?¡± ¡°That you would say things that don¡¯t match your age, and do things that don¡¯t match your age.¡± He said. In this case, what makes people distressed is the ¡®inconsistency¡¯. ¡°Yansheng.¡± Yue Song was also honest, ¡°That meeting in the restaurant was not the first time I saw you.¡± Zhang Yansheng blinked. ¡°During the winter vacation last year, I was an intern at my cousin¡¯s place ¡ª Xue Xintong. I participated in the charity event she had hosted. I saw you at that time.¡± Yue Song said. Zhang Yansheng still remembered Xue Xintong¡¯s charity event and was surprised: ¡°Is it that early?¡± And she was still stupidly thinking about waiting for five or six years later, and waiting for him at the point in time when she died in her previous life. She didn¡¯t even know that when she thought he was someone who had to look for in the vast sea of people, he was already watching her. Fate is sometimes too quiet and imperceptible. Yue Song nodded. ¡°In the spotlight of that banquet hall, people¡¯s faces will look more three-dimensional, especially yours. I saw you at a glance.¡± He tapped Zhang Yansheng¡¯s lips with his fingertips, ¡°The color of your lipstick was so gorgeous, it looked so great.¡± ¡°But your eyes and expressions are too cold, and in fact, I can tell that you are very young, younger than the other young girls who participated in the event.¡± ¡°I can¡¯t help thinking, why is this girl so cold, who is she? What has she experienced?¡± ¡°After the charity event, I went to my cousin to ask who you are. My cousin laughed at me because the girl I had a crush on turned out to be a freshman in high school.¡± Yue Song recalled, ¡°But my cousin told me about your family, and I thought sure enough, as I have expected, you have to go through something like that to have that look in your eyes.¡± ¡°You are too young. I was a 2nd-year college student at that time. I couldn¡¯t chase a freshman high school kid, so I just gave up.¡± ¡°But what I saw in you that time and what I heard about your family are the source of all my expectations of you.¡± He stared at her and sighed: ¡°You are just like I thought ¡ª you have experienced too much and know too much, so you will naturally be separated from your peers.¡± His eyes were soft, his sighing voice was low and deep, and his emotions oozed out with the sound and seeped into the air. Zhang Yansheng lowered her eyes for a moment, then raised his eyes: ¡°Don¡¯t feel sorry for me at every turn.¡± Yue Song stared at her pool-like eyes and asked rhetorically, ¡°Why?¡± ¡°It makes people feel soft.¡± Zhang Yansheng said, ¡°This won¡¯t work. If the whole person has been softened, how can it work if you can¡¯t get it hardened? I can¡¯t do it anyway.¡± Yue Song thought for a while, and said, ¡°Then, do you feel distressed occasionally?¡± Zhang Yansheng hooked the corners of her mouth: ¡°Yes.¡± As she spoke, the copper-golden sunlight was converging on the horizon. The natural light dimmed, and the staff turned on the lights. There were lights where Zhang Yansheng was standing, and there was light behind her. Yue Song looked at her as if she had melted into the light. The diffuse light hit her face without a trace of blemishes on her skin. It was breakable and almost perfect. Yue Song¡¯s eyes couldn¡¯t help falling on her lips. The slightly raised corners of her mouth seemed to have temptation. The fingertips that he touched there just now were a little hot. The atmosphere is just right. Zhang Yansheng thought, if Yue Song bowed his head and kissed her at this time, she would not refuse. She refuses to be softened by the care and concern of others, but she never refuses to taste this gentleness occasionally. She clearly saw Yue Song¡¯s Adam¡¯s apple move slightly. That¡¯s an exposed manifestation of a man¡¯s desire. Yue Song just stopped looking, turned his head slightly and looked elsewhere, and said, ¡°Let¡¯s go up. If we don¡¯t watch them, Lichen will be messing around again.¡± ¡°¡­¡± Zhang Yan said, ¡°Oh.¡± So, do you still blame her for being too young now? Not attractive enough? Just thinking about it, there was a stream of water falling from the sky, and I heard Xu Lichen¡¯s quack laughter. Looking up, Xu Lichen took Zhang Heling with a water gun to the railing of the upper deck and leaned down laughing. Sure enough, Yue Song was right. If he doesn¡¯t watch them closely, Xu Lichen is really going to mess around. ¡°If you have the guts, stay there and don¡¯t move!¡± Zhang Yansheng, who was drenched into a chicken in soup, gritted her teeth with a smile, and said to Yue Song, ¡°I have to teach him a lesson!¡± Yue Song, who was also drenched in chicken soup, lifted up the hem of his T-shirt and wiped his face, his narrow waist and abdominal muscles flashed by: ¡°Go!¡± The two went upstairs. ¡°F*ck!¡± Xu Lichen shouted, ¡°Run!¡± Zhang Heling followed Xu Lichen and fled frantically. When the sun set on the horizon the next day, all the yachts arrived at the agreed sea area. Under the command of the organizer, they were arranged in order according to the scheduled location. All the yachts are connected by a bridge, forming a closed loop. Each yacht has undertaken some projects or provided some supplies more or less. For example, Yue Song¡¯s boat provides food for the barbecue. The two families that have undertaken the children¡¯s playground are all families with more children in their own homes. One has three and the other has four. The oldest child in the family of four is only in sixth grade, and the others are small beans. There is a special children¡¯s playroom on their yacht, and there are many facilities for children to play. Those families with small children brought their children over. In the family with three children, there is one middle school student and two senior elementary school students. Half-grown children like Zhang Heling gathered there. As soon as Zhang Yansheng saw many half-sized children inside, she said to Yue Song, ¡°You go to the party and have fun.¡± There was a yacht full of people on board. It was a reunion of classmates from a wave of graduates of a private high school who had graduated and went to university. They originally came to have a party at sea. After playing for two days, they suddenly received an invitation and found it more interesting to have more people, so they participated. It not only brings popularity, but also provides the largest amount of food and drinks. The music was so loud that Xu Lichen rushed over as soon as he heard it. Yue Song asked: ¡°What about you?¡± Zhang Yansheng said: ¡°I will accompany Hehe.¡± Yue Song was a little surprised: ¡°Hehe is not young anymore.¡± Moreover, seeing that her self-care ability is also good, Zhang Yansheng doesn¡¯t need to worry about her these days. Zhang Yansheng glanced at the half-sized boys who had entered puberty, and raised her chin: ¡°This kind of half-sized boy is much more dangerous than you think. If you are out of luck and run into someone who has been raised crooked by your family, it will be easy to have an accident.¡± So, a girl as old as her, who was jumping out of her age, gave up the party on another yacht because she wanted to protect her younger sister, and stayed next to these half-aged kids who were very noisy¡­ Yue Song said: ¡°Then I will stay here too.¡± ¡°No need.¡± Zhang Yansheng said, ¡°You can just go there and have fun.¡± ¡°This time, I called you out to sail to the sea to spend time with you.¡± Yue Song smiled softly, ¡°Why do I need to accompany the other people?¡± CH 128 Yacht parties are exciting for some people, but different for others. Fortunately, Yue Song was accompanying her. The two of them were drinking non-alcoholic drinks while watching the half-grown children play crazy. When you are hungry, form a gang to go for food on another yacht and explore the space. Yue Song and Zhang Yansheng followed them. Zhang Heling turned her head and took a look in front, and there was no one. After crossing the bridge, she turned her head to see that her sister and Brother Yue were holding hands together. Whee hee! Zhang Yansheng was speechless when she heard Yue Song talk about his parents: ¡°So they¡­¡± ¡°They just don¡¯t want to be responsible.¡± Yue Song shrugged, ¡°Both of them have been spoiled by their families since they were young. They have thought about a two-person world and don¡¯t want to worry about getting involved. My grandfather is so angry with them every day.¡± It is true that both of them were not in good health when they were young, but after so many years of modern medical technology, under the conditioning of senior nutritionists, and under the supervision of fitness coaches, there is no physique that can¡¯t be improved. It¡¯s just that this couple, who have been pampered since they were young, are used to it and are unwilling to take on the responsibility of inheriting the family business. Old man Yue Qifeng couldn¡¯t help it, lest they bring up his only grandson like this, so he raised his grandson himself. ¡°When I became an adult, the two of them became more casual too. They run around the world. Anyway, they won¡¯t stay in one place for too long, and they dare not come back to be scolded by my grandfather.¡± He smiled helplessly. ¡°It¡¯s enviable.¡± Zhang Yansheng said, ¡°This is what everyone said. Those who are favored have nothing to fear, right?¡± ¡°That¡¯s right.¡± Yue Song admitted, ¡°My uncle can¡¯t do anything to my mother, and my grandfather can¡¯t do anything to my dad. When my cousin stayed with my mother, she felt more like an elder. My mother was the one who was taken care of.¡± ¡°Big Sister Xue, indeed, is not the kind of person to be taken care of, but the one taking care of others instead.¡± Zhang Yansheng nodded, ¡°Although I have only met her once, I am very impressed.¡± Yue Song smiled: ¡°Do you admire people like my cousin?¡± Zhang Yansheng nodded: ¡°I think that kind of woman attracts my attention more than other women.¡± Yue Song said, ¡°With your grandmother as an example, you will not be worse than them in the future. What you did with this investment this time really surprised me.¡± But this one is completely speculative. Zhang Yansheng knew that she couldn¡¯t afford this compliment, she couldn¡¯t help feeling ashamed in her heart, and she said softly: ¡°I just happened to meet Big Sister Mo, and I was lucky enough to bump into her. I actually don¡¯t understand anything.¡± It is rare for a person of her age to be so calm and rational in the face of the expected success of her first investment. Yue Song held her hand and squeezed it slightly, then smiled slightly: ¡°You shouldn¡¯t be in a hurry, you should study hard first.¡± When the party was finally over, everyone returned to their yacht, crossed the bridge and put it away, and the yachts slowly dispersed. Xu Lichen returned to Yue Song¡¯s boat with a bottle of wine, and when he came back, he saw Yue Song and Zhang Yansheng holding hands together. ¡°Yo!¡± He made a weird noise. Zhang Heling covered her mouth and laughed, and yawned again after laughing. ¡°Go go go, go to sleep.¡± Xu Lichen blasted her away, turned around and opened the wine he brought back, ¡°Have a drink, have a drink.¡± The three of them drank wine under the stars and listened to Xu Lichen talk about his new friends. ¡°They don¡¯t even believe that I am only a high school student!¡± He boasted, ¡°They think that I am very mature.¡± ¡°You could also be.¡± Zhang Yansheng said, ¡°You look old.¡± Yue Song choked on a mouthful of wine, coughed a few times, and laughed loudly. Xu Lichen turned his face furiously: ¡°Hey!¡± Xu Lichen had already had a lot of drinks on the party yacht, but when he came back, he still drank some more, before going to sleep. Yue Song took Zhang Yansheng¡¯s hand and they strolled on the deck. The sea is black, the night sky is ink blue, and the galaxy spans, shining brightly. The noisy music was silent, only the sound of the wind and the faint sound of the waves could be heard. Yue Song sent Zhang Yansheng to the door of her bedroom: ¡°Go to bed early and we¡¯ll return tomorrow.¡± He wanted to let go of Zhang Yansheng¡¯s hand, but Zhang Yansheng held his hand instead. She looked at him. There is a natural flow of hormones between the young boy and young girl. But as long as he thought that she was still a high school student, Yue Song always felt that she was still young. He suppressed the dry and hot feeling in his throat, and gently touched her forehead with his lips. The feeling of electric shock made him feel that the air was even hotter. He pressed his forehead against hers and whispered, ¡°Good night.¡± His body went against his will and didn¡¯t want to leave. If you compare it, Xu Lichen is full of problems, and he is almost like a sieve. Yue Song had almost nothing to be accused of. But now, Zhang Yansheng thinks he has a serious problem. He always seemed to worry too much about something, as if he couldn¡¯t let go. Zhang Yansheng is not such a person. The young man¡¯s voice was low and magnetic, and his forehead felt hot where it contradicted each other. With their faces so close together, they could feel each other¡¯s breathing. Why do you want to be restrained? Zhang Yansheng raised her hand, pressed the back of his head, and stood on tiptoe¡­ The taste of gin exploded on the tip of their tongues. Mellow fragrance and long lasting. Alcohol makes people dizzy and there is an erratic feeling of emptiness. It may also be that the shaking of the yacht itself makes people drunk. There seemed to be a crisp sound of fingertips tapping the edge of the glass in his ears, cheerful and jumping. Until they fell asleep, they could still hear this sound. Accompanied by the sound of the waves, remembering the aftertaste repeatedly, they had a really good night¡¯s sleep. On the way home, after returning from the sea, Xu Lichen found that his position in the small group had fallen. He actually fell to the point of sitting in the back row with Zhang Heling! D*mn, this is too much! But from time to time, the driver would glance and smile at the person sitting in the co-pilot. If the person sitting in the co-pilot was forcibly placed behind, he would have to turn his head to look back. Considering the safety of driving, Xu Lichen endured it. ¡°This time next year! As soon as my birthday is over, I will take the driver¡¯s license test as soon as possible!¡± He vowed to say, ¡°Then I can drive legally!¡± This is also Zhang Yansheng¡¯s grievance: ¡°It is too inconvenient without a driver¡¯s license. You can¡¯t drive even if you have a car.¡± Yue Song asked: ¡°You two can drive?¡± Zhang Yansheng and Xu Lichen synchronized once: ¡°Of course we can.¡± Zhang Heling sat up straight: ¡°When I grow up, I will also¡­¡± Xu Lichen clawed the top of her head and said: ¡°It¡¯s still too early for you!¡± In front of him, Yue Song completely ignored Xu Lichen and only asked Zhang Yansheng, ¡°What kind of car do you like?¡± Zhang Yansheng¡¯s first car in her previous life was a Ferrari supercar that was more expensive than the newer model at that time, which was specially bought to pressure Liang Yingying. The color was also the same bright red. But in fact, Zhang Yansheng didn¡¯t like that car very much, and even got a little tired of the bright red color. Like a mistress¡¯ car. She later bought another car and threw the red Ferrari in the underground garage of her apartment. Zhang Yansheng thought for a while. She couldn¡¯t be sure that her favorite model was not on the market now, so she said another classic model with a similar style. Yue Song readily agreed: ¡°That is a classic model and I like it too.¡± When they got home, Zhang Huan looked at the two daughters: ¡°Yo, you still got tanned?¡± Especially Zhang Heling, whose snowy white skin had a light honey color. She is either soaked in water or soaked in water every day, so it¡¯s no wonder it¡¯s not that dark. But she doesn¡¯t care, staying at home for a week can get her skin color back. She hopped to Zhang Huan¡¯s side: ¡°Dad! The yacht is interesting!¡± She also accused Zhang Huan: ¡°My sister said that our family also has a yacht, why haven¡¯t you taken us there?¡± The father who was exposed to negligence hurriedly justified himself: ¡°Dad is too busy!¡± He wrote another blank check and said, ¡°I will definitely take you next time!¡± He quickly changed the subject and said to Zhang Yansheng beaming: ¡°Have you read the report in the past two days? Our box office is rising steadily!¡± When did it become ¡®our¡¯? Because Zhang Yansheng had predicted it a long time ago, she no longer felt excited, and only said ¡°Oh¡±. Zhang Huan¡¯s joy was shared by no one, and he was also depressed and dissatisfied: ¡°You just don¡¯t care.¡± ¡°?¡± Zhang Yansheng, ¡°Even if I don¡¯t care about it, it won¡¯t affect the box office, right?¡± Zhang Huan choked. This stupid girl, how can she not understand the heart of her old father who is happy for her?! Zhang Heling pestered Zhang Huan and asked, ¡°Dad, when will Shuoshuo be back?¡± As soon as they returned from B City, Liang Yingying immediately packed Zhang Shuocheng and sent him to a summer camp. Zhang Huan said: ¡°It¡¯s still early, it seems that it might take another week.¡± Zhang Heling was disappointed: ¡°Oh!¡± She wanted to show off about the yacht party to Zhang Shuocheng! Zhang Huan still has to go to work every day. He didn¡¯t know that Zhang Yansheng had added a new item to her life, which was dating. From time to time, Zhang Yansheng and Yue Song would either bring Zhang Heling or Xu Lichen to go out together. Even the old man Yue found that his grandson was different recently, there seemed to be something special between his eyebrows and his eyes, and he seemed to smile more at others. In the past, many people felt that Yue Song was brought up by the old chairman, so that¡¯s why his personality was too cold. ¡°Has there been any good news recently?¡± The old man wondered. Yue Song thought for a while and said, ¡°Of course, the movie I invested in has exploded.¡± ¡°And that¡¯s enough reason for you to be so happy?¡± The old man was even more puzzled. He didn¡¯t think that Yue Song was such a calm person. Yue Song only smiled and said nothing. He has a girlfriend and if the old man knows about it, with the strength of the old man, he is bound to try his best to see Zhang Yansheng. Zhang Yansheng, a girl with a cold face and a wild heart, Yue Song observed her attitude towards her father and felt that she was a person who did not like to be restrained and disciplined by her elders. They have just been together, and no young girl likes to see her boyfriend¡¯s elders so soon. What¡¯s more, she is still only a high school student, and she is at an age that is rebellious to the group of ¡®elders¡¯. Yue Song decided to wait. His girlfriend is too young, so he is really distressed. The summer vacation is quickly over,¡¶Leaving the Solar System¡·is still in theaters, and the seats are still full. The usual movie release period is one month, and it has now been officially announced that the release period of this movie will be extended to three months. There are many people who watch it for the second and third times. At the start of school, everyone looked at Xu Lichen as soon as he walked into the school. Many students he didn¡¯t know came to greet him. They wanted to take photos with him when they met during lunch breaks and after school. The students in the same class remembered what he used to brag, and finally knelt down and said: ¡°It turns out to be true.¡± ¡°F*ck, I cried when you died!¡± ¡°Xu Lichen, you acted so well!¡± Xu Lichen was in a daze, with a strange feeling. Everyone gathered around him, not because he had the money to be generous and forthright, nor because he was ¡®loyal¡¯ to help the gang form a faction to help fight. Instead, all these people agreed with something in him, which is the value he has. This feeling¡­ It¡¯s just so f*cking passionate! CH 129 Xu Lichen became a celebrity in school. Within two days, the head teacher of Class 5 talked to him. The main reason was that the head teacher was worried that he was distracted by these things and delayed serious study. To be honest, Xu Lichen has grown up to such an age and met so many teachers, and his favorite is actually the head teacher of Class 5 of Yi High School. Because in the past, the teachers hated him so much that they wanted nothing to do with him, but that kind of dislike was also expressed clearly. But after entering the Yi High School and relying on his own efforts to enter Class 5, the treatment became different. He only learned later that the reason why his seat was surrounded by school tyrants was specially arranged by the head teacher. Brother glasses often helped him. At first, it was arranged by the head teacher, and then he gradually became a real buddy with him later. By the way, brother glasses finally got promoted to Class 3 this year. Because he wrote beautifully just by using a regular pen, Xu Lichen gave him a fountain pen as a gift at the beginning of school: ¡°If you dare to fall back from Class 3, then you must return the pen to me.¡± The brother glasses happily gave him a punch and snatched the pen away. It is a brand that he loves very much, and because it is too expensive, his parents are reluctant to buy it for him. In short, Xu Lichen later recalled that since he left Class 8 and came to Class 5, with different teachers and different classmates, his high school life has been rushing in a direction he never expected. The head teacher¡¯s concern made Xu Lichen¡¯s heart warm. He also communicated his future plans with the head teacher. The head teacher understood some of his family background, and heard that his mother had agreed, and obviously the family had already started to deal with this matter, so she was relieved, nodded, and said, ¡°Then you can¡¯t delay the cultural class. Although the three major art exams are important, they also have requirements for cultural courses.¡± Xu Lichen agreed. When he walked out of the teacher¡¯s office, he knew what he was going to do in the future and what he should do now, and everyone, parents, teachers, friends¡­ all of them supported him. Xu Lichen suddenly felt that he had grown up so big and he had been living in chaos before, but he had only now understood it. This is the last year before the college entrance examination, and it is also the most bitter year of a person¡¯s student life. Every student hang and pierce their heads. Zhang Yansheng also clearly felt the pressure. Yue Song has also gone through this stage and understands it very well. Zhang Yansheng doesn¡¯t usually have time to talk to him on the phone or communicate with him, so there is really no time. Senior high school is really not suitable for dating. If the couple are both in the same class, you can get along with each other between classes or when you tutor each other. Like Zhang Yansheng and Yue Song, there is too little time. If Yue Song is free, he will pick her up from the school in the evening and take her home so that the two can spend time together on the road. Zhang Yansheng has to continue studying when she gets home. Zhang Huan never knew that Zhang Yansheng had a boyfriend already. Zhang Yansheng didn¡¯t want Zhang Huan to know. She didn¡¯t want Zhang Huan to intervene in her affairs. If Zhang Huan knows, whether he opposes or supports it, it will become very troublesome, or¡­ very annoying. She has this hunch. So, she already warned the little Zhang Heling not to snitch them as early as when they returned from their yacht trip during the summer vacation. And for Driver Zhou, although it was a bit strange, he didn¡¯t know what the specific situation was every time she called and told him not to pick her up. Zhang Yansheng is not like Zhang Heling and Zhang Shuocheng, who must guarantee that he will pick up and drop off these children. He just needs to make sure that she has a car when she needs it. At the end of September,¡¶Leaving the Solar System¡·had finally stopped showing in the cinemas, becoming the dark horse of this year¡¯s summer archive. Various tidbits, behind-the-scenes screenings on the internet have also begun to sell in the surrounding areas. During the long holiday in October, Zhang¡¯s family gathered at the old lady¡¯s place. Her aunt, Zhao Lanfen, was exceptionally quiet, and Zhang Qi never mentioned the TV series she had invested in before, nor Zhang Yansheng¡¯s¡¶Leaving the Solar System¡·. Zhang Yansheng originally thought that Zhang Huan would embarrass her uncle and aunt in front of everyone, but unexpectedly, although Zhang Huan smiled and chanted throughout the process, he didn¡¯t mention a word. Of course, the old lady would not mention it. The old lady is calmer than anyone else. No one provoked things, no one said sour words, and the atmosphere of this small gathering was particularly peaceful and beautiful. Zhang Yansheng couldn¡¯t help but said to Zhang Huan on the way back: ¡°I thought you had to mention the movie and show off in front of my uncle and aunt.¡± Zhang Huan gave a ¡°tsk¡± and said, ¡°It¡¯s not time yet.¡± Zhang Yansheng: ¡°Huh? The box office data has come out already.¡± The media has exploded the box office data of¡¶Leaving the Solar System¡·, which is similar to the previous life, and may actually be slightly better. The financial statements have not come out yet, but Zhang Yansheng has already estimated a number in her heart. Zhang Huan gave a ¡°heh¡± and said, ¡°As long as the money hasn¡¯t fallen into your pocket, it won¡¯t be considered your money. Don¡¯t be naive. If you don¡¯t get the money in a day, you can¡¯t guarantee it. The money is not yet secured, as the other party might suddenly go bankrupt, or the other party might run away with the money, or the other party suddenly dies and the money disappears¡­ anything strange can happen. Commercial disputes are even more common.¡± Zhang Yansheng: ¡°¡­¡± ¡°So, showing off can¡¯t be done too early.¡± Zhang Huan said, ¡°Look at your aunt, she did it too early. She had not seen the financial statements yet, but she had already told everyone that they made money. Look at how my sister-in-law was so quiet today! She was so courteous and restrained, I don¡¯t know her anymore!¡± Zhang Huan had no problem with his eldest brother, so he was not satisfied with him being a ¡®henpecked¡¯ husband. The younger generations are gone, and the old lady is drinking tea and chatting with an aunt. ¡°It¡¯s not surprising that an adult can hold his breath.¡± She said, ¡°I¡¯m surprised that Yanyan can also hold her breath so well. Now, in her movie, as long as you turn on your computer and cellphone, you can see the screen refreshing. Making money is a certainty. She was able to mention it without mentioning it, I really didn¡¯t expect it.¡± The aunt fawned: ¡°Tell me about it! Miss Yanyan has changed a lot in the past two years! She¡¯s getting more and more magnificent!¡± The old lady sighed and said, ¡°When Qiqi was a kid, she was very smart. I thought she was good, but I don¡¯t know what¡¯s been going on in these years. The more she grows up, the more impetuous she becomes.¡± Although the old lady said to Zhang Yu, ¡°Just don¡¯t suffer a financial loss¡±, she still panicked when she thought of the joke about Zhao Lanfen and Zhang Qi¡¯s investment. And thinking of Zhang Lin again, her eldest grandson, she sighed again: ¡°Xiao Lin is the eldest grandson and I also have expectations for him in my heart. Although he¡¯s a good boy, he has never suffered anything and he is getting more and more squeamish. He couldn¡¯t even look at the squatting toilet. He said that they were on a highway and stopped in the service area to use the toilet. He vomited directly when he saw the squatting toilet¡­ oh dear.¡± The aunt hurriedly comforted her: ¡°The juniors of this family, as long as there is a promising one then it¡¯s fine, don¡¯t be greedy.¡± The old lady sighed and stopped talking. It was Christmas Eve in a blink of an eye. How many young men and women were having a party outside, and the underage high school girls were not getting enough sleep. They were doing their homework with the blue color under their eyes! The boyfriend called suddenly, and the female high school student picked it up; ¡°Hello?¡± The boyfriend¡¯s cello-like voice asked softly, ¡°Do you still have much homework left?¡± The female high school student glanced at the watch on the wall and sighed: ¡°It will probably be finished by 1 o¡¯clock.¡± ¡°Poor thing.¡± The boyfriend said, ¡°Then this will only take you a minute. Take a look out the window.¡± Zhang Yansheng held her cellphone and walked to the window. Because the glass reflected the light, she opened the window and asked in the cold air, ¡°What to look at?¡± ¡°Three, two, one.¡± Yue Song said, ¡°Look at the sky.¡± As his voice fell, Zhang Yansheng saw a stream of light rushing into the sky. Fireworks exploded in the night sky, in the shape of a red heart. After changing several colors, it gradually disappeared. Yue Song asked: ¡°Did you see it?¡± Zhang Yansheng said with a cold voice: ¡°Fireworks are forbidden in the city.¡± ¡°Moreover,¡± she said, ¡°Your location¡­¡± It seems to be next to the community police station. ¡°I know, I have already seen the police lights flashing.¡± Yue Song said, ¡°So, I¡¯m going to run away now, goodbye!¡± She heard the sound of the door closing and the engine on the phone, so he should have gotten in the car and started to run away. Zhang Yansheng was lying on the window with a smile. The call was disconnected for two seconds. It should have been automatically connected to Bluetooth after getting in the car, and then it was connected again. Zhang Yansheng asked, ¡°Have you run away?¡± Yue Song: ¡°Yes, I did. Don¡¯t worry, they can¡¯t catch up with me.¡± When you listen to the sound of the engine, then you¡¯ll know that it is a sports car. Zhang Yansheng gloated: ¡°There are surveillance cameras.¡± ¡°I¡¯m not afraid. It¡¯s either robbery and theft, where you will be taken to the police station to criticize education and write a review once you get caught.¡± Yue Song said, ¡°I even took away the barrel and there was no garbage left. The police uncle would not check the surveillance for this.¡± ¡°Stop talking, go do your homework, don¡¯t waste time, and try to go to bed early.¡± Yue Song said thoughtfully. ¡°Hey, isn¡¯t it you who takes up my time?¡± Zhang Yansheng said. In the night, Yue Song drove the car with a smile in his eyes: ¡°Yanyan, there¡¯s only half a year left, come on.¡± He said: ¡°I¡¯m waiting for you at K University.¡± Zhang Yansheng said silently: ¡°You would have graduated already when I got in there.¡± Having said that, she closed the window, closed the curtains, and sat back at the table. Just thinking of the red heart that bloomed in the sky just now, she couldn¡¯t help but cocked her mouth slightly. At school, Xu Lichen said to Zhang Yansheng: ¡°I have already applied for the art examination. When will we get our share?¡± Zhang Yansheng said, ¡°Big Sister Mo said that it will probably be around New Year¡¯s Day. When will you take the exam?¡± Xu Lichen said: ¡°It usually takes place in February or March of the next year.¡± Zhang Yansheng nodded, and suddenly said with emotion: ¡°It¡¯s so fast, the time¡­¡± One semester passed in the blink of an eye, and another semester passed in the blink of an eye. In the student era, which is based on semesters, it is too fast to keep up. Turning her head and seeing the reflection in the glass window of the teaching building, she was already a completely different girl from her previous life. A few days after New Year¡¯s Day passed, Zhang Yansheng, Xu Lichen, and Yue Song all got their due shares and financial statements. After deducting 5% of the special film fund and 3.3% of the taxes, and then deducting the share of theater chains and movie cinemas, commissions, distribution costs, taxes, etc., the remaining box office revenue will be distributed to investors in accordance with the investment amount. Forget it, the return on investment is 370%, which is higher than in the previous life. Who knows which butterfly effect caused it? Maybe because it was released in the Spring Festival and the weather was too cold in the previous life, so some people are reluctant to go out to watch a movie. Maybe, but it doesn¡¯t matter what the reason is. In short, Zhang Yansheng invested 34 million yuan in and got 159.8 million yuan back. Xu Lichen invested 10 million yuan in and got back 47 million yuan. Yue Song invested 100 million yuan and got back 470 million yuan. CH 130 When Zhang Yansheng got the money, she first transferred 2.35 million yuan to her maternal uncle in advance, and called her uncle: ¡°500,000-yuan principal and 1.85 million profits, a total of 2.35 million, with a return rate of 370%.¡± Her uncle was dumbfounded: ¡°What did you invest in?¡± Zhang Yansheng smiled. In fact, her uncle came to K City before the start of school. At that time, the movie was in full swing. Her uncle went but didn¡¯t mention a word. Zhang Yansheng guessed that when she said to invest in movies, her uncle didn¡¯t take it to heart at all. He might not even remember the name of the movie at all. ¡°It¡¯s¡¶Leaving the Solar System¡·.¡± Zhang Yansheng said. When she mentioned this movie title before, her uncle really didn¡¯t remember it and didn¡¯t know it at all. But now, no one doesn¡¯t know¡¶Leaving the Solar System¡·anymore. The movie title is too resounding. Her uncle was so surprised that he couldn¡¯t close his mouth together: ¡°So you said the investment¡­ is this?¡± Zhang Yansheng¡¯s laughter came over the phone: ¡°Yes.¡± Her uncle couldn¡¯t help asking: ¡°How much did you invest in total?¡± Zhang Yansheng said: ¡°If you count your 500,000 yuan, I have invested a total of 34 million yuan.¡± Her uncle counted and said: ¡°You made more than 100 million?¡± Zhang Yansheng: ¡°Yes!¡± Her uncle took a breath, and after two seconds, he suddenly laughed. ¡°Okay! Okay!¡± He smiled, ¡°Yanyan, in the future, uncle won¡¯t worry about you anymore!¡± Zhang Yansheng said with a smile: ¡°No need, I¡¯m older now.¡± Her uncle told his wife about making this money, and her aunt was also confused. ¡°Now that I¡¯m looking back at it.¡± Uncle said, ¡°I thought that Yanyan just wanted some money, but it turned out that she wanted to make money with us. Aye!¡± It can be called a surprise, but after the surprise, they regretted it. Her aunt was annoyed: ¡°I wish I had given Yanyan more at that time! Blame me!¡± In that case, they could have made more money! If this kind of regret falls deep in the heart, it will take root and grow up. Her uncle hurriedly said, ¡°Don¡¯t think about it that way. Think about it from another perspective. If you are that kind of vicious aunt, bad and stingy, and you are not willing to give my niece a penny, then we won¡¯t be able to make a penny. Look at it now, how nice it is! We are not that large, and we have done our best to Yanyan and given what we can. How big is the bowl and how much rice to eat? So, don¡¯t regret it blindly, the money that shouldn¡¯t be made by you is destined to be made by you.¡± Her aunt thought about it and felt that her husband made sense. It was a bit distressing to give out half a million at the beginning, but she never thought about getting it back. Speaking of which, it is purely for profit, so she was relieved. For the other family in the gathering of the Zhangs, Zhao Lanfen did not show up. Zhang Lin also went to study abroad. Zhang Yu brought Zhang Qi alone and awkwardly covered up for his wife: ¡°She is not feeling well¡­¡± The old lady said lightly: ¡°Then she should take a good rest and don¡¯t get angry. If you are angry, you will easily get sick. You have to be open-minded and have good blood circulation to be healthy.¡± Zhang Huan smashed it, smashed his mouth, and there was nowhere to spill his belly when he was ready to show off. His brother is so embarrassed that he can¡¯t get down to the ground. He is not that kind of a villain! But Zhang Qi was sullen all the way and she didn¡¯t say a word. Zhang Yansheng also didn¡¯t want to take out the money-making matter this time and hit anyone in the face. After experiencing it this time, she has a clear understanding of investment. Knowing that this is a rigorous and meticulous process that requires data support, it also requires an understanding of the current situation and development of related industries, laws and policies in related fields, and even the general economic situation as the basis for making final sound decisions. How many local tyrants slapped their brains and threw money out, and they were all in vain? Zhang Yansheng didn¡¯t rely on any professional knowledge this time, she relied entirely on her cheats. There will be no second time in her life for this kind of cheat. After experiencing it, she knows what level she is at, what she lacks, and what she needs to do. So, she just left this matter behind her, she was not proud, and she wasn¡¯t even that happy. She has never been short of money. The money is in the account, which is nothing more than numbers. But Liang Yingying¡¯s three views were completely shattered, and it can even be said that she was crushed into dust! After pretending to be sick and refusing to show her face, her aunt flew directly to see her son abroad. This was obviously an intention to avoid this matter for a while and wait for things to cool down by itself. Zhang Huan had nowhere to show off ¡ª if he dared to show off in front of the old lady, then the old lady would scold him, so he could only show off in his own home. The number stunned Liang Yingying. She felt that the world had become different. For her, the word ¡®making money¡¯ was to get money from Zhang Huan¡¯s pocket before. Yes, basically in her eyes, the world will be as big as Zhang Huan is. In her eyes, Zhang Huan is a big cake. Although it is very big, it has limits after all. So, if Zhang Yansheng cuts one more piece, then Zhang Shuocheng and Zhang Heling will cut one less piece. Therefore, in her eyes, Zhang Yansheng and her and her children belong to a hostile position of grabbing cakes. Liang Yingying never thought that apart from Zhang Yansheng cutting Zhang Huan¡¯s cake, Zhang Yansheng could also¡­ bake her own bread. And it¡¯s also a big pile of bread! Liang Yingying tremblingly asked Zhang Huan: ¡°Then, the money¡­ then that money must be recovered, right?¡± Zhang Huan inexplicably: ¡°What money will be recovered?¡± Liang Yingying swallowed and said: ¡°Well, the money made by Yanyan, ah. It¡¯s more than 100 million yuan!¡± ¡°Yanyan earned it herself, so of course it was her own.¡± Zhang Huan disagreed, ¡°Why do you have to get them from her?¡± Liang Yingying was dizzy: ¡°But, with so much money¡­ Yanyan is still a child.¡± ¡°She can make 100 million yuan by herself, but you still treat her as a child? You still want to limit her finances?¡± Zhang Huan knocked Liang Yingying on the head angrily, ¡°What kind of brain do you have? Don¡¯t pass it on to Hehe and Shuoshuo.¡± Although she was too busy with her studies and rarely met at home, Zhang Yansheng still noticed a change in Liang Yingying¡¯s attitude towards her. In the past two years, with a series of changes in her family, Liang Yingying was so overwhelmed by her that she didn¡¯t dare to make small moves or irritate her. But occasionally, when Zhang Yansheng raised her eyes and shot past her, she could still see the indignation, annoyance, and disgust that she couldn¡¯t hide in her eyes. Zhang Shuocheng¡¯s occasional unintentional words could also be heard in her attempts to unite her children with her and be hostile to Zhang Yansheng. But now, Liang Yingying¡¯s gaze at her has changed, she has become cautious, and even a little flattering. Didn¡¯t she use that kind of gaze to look at Zhang Huan before? Zhang Yansheng didn¡¯t care about her at all. It will be the college entrance examination in another half year, and her mind is devoted to studying. She only occasionally caught a glimpse of that woman at home, thinking of herself who was young and lost in her previous life, she deeply felt that¡­ it¡¯s really not worth it. It¡¯s worthless to waste yourself for anyone, so you must live your own life well. Immediately afterwards, there was a thunderstorm in her paternal uncle¡¯s house. In order to avoid Zhang Yansheng¡¯s investment in movies that made a lot of money, Zhao Lanfen went to see Zhang Lin under the pretext of going to M Country. She also wanted to surprise her son, so she didn¡¯t inform him about her arrival in advance. As a result, when she arrived at Zhang Lin¡¯s university, she found that no such student was enrolled there. Zhang Lin is not in that university at all. When Zhang Lin applied for school, he fooled Zhao Lanfen with an offer from a certain university. In fact, he accepted an offer from an art college. Drawing and painting were originally only used as something to cultivate sentiment for him to learn. Everyone also knows that Zhang Lin is very talented in this area. But she didn¡¯t think that he would take this as a life choice. This is exactly what happened in the previous life. Although Zhang Yansheng knew about it a long time ago, she thought that it was Zhang Lin¡¯s own life choice, so she didn¡¯t say anything. Anyway, in the previous life, Zhang Lin and Zhao Lanfen had a very stiff fight, and he refused to return to China. The Zhang family still has Zhang Qi to train anyway. But Zhao Lanfen didn¡¯t think so. Although Zhang Qi is also her daughter, she has a son. Her son is the oldest grandson of the Zhangs. Zhao Lanfen has high hopes for Zhang Lin! She planned the path for him ¡ª success in his studies, then he¡¯ll return as an elite and join the family. She is a very controlling person, controlling her husband and daughter, except for this baby son that was brought up in her palm since he was a child. The young master has a great temper and is not as willing to listen to her control as Zhang Qi. After she discovered the truth, she had a fierce quarrel with Zhang Lin. Zhang Lin¡¯s rebellious heart became heavier, and he resolutely refused to listen to her. In the end, Zhao Lanfen cut off Zhang Lin¡¯s financial sources and failed to force Zhang Lin to go back ¡ª he had enough money to pay for tuition and living expenses. In this family war, Zhao Lanfen lost to her son. And she didn¡¯t know that after Zhang Lin gave up inheriting the family business in the previous life, the old lady could only choose Zhang Qi as the heir to cultivate. But in this life, Zhang Qi is not the only choice left for the old lady. In February and March, Xu Lichen went to sign up for the art examination and was very busy. Zhang Yansheng asked him, ¡°Have you taken the entrance exams for the Big Three?¡± ¡°I¡¯m done taking the exams for those three.¡± Xu Lichen said, his eyes were a little erratic, then he paused and said, ¡°There are also JY, HY¡­ I¡¯ve also taken their entrance exams¡­¡± Zhang Yansheng: ¡°¡­ ¡° Someone once said blatantly that he will not enter the other art schools aside from the Big Three, but the flag fell down without hesitation, hitting the face like a storm. ¡°This is to have a guarantee! You don¡¯t understand me!¡± Xu Lichen twisted his neck and said, ¡°When the head teacher talked about applying for the college entrance examination, she also mentioned about having guarantees! But the results were much better than expected. In April, Xu Lichen¡¯s school entrance examination results came out, and he was among the best in all three majors. He put his hands on his waist and looked up to the sky with a big laugh: ¡°As I said, my teacher said that I am really talented!¡± As soon as this result and ranking came out, he was basically stable. As long as the cultural courses can reach the three required score lines, he will be admitted on merit according to the ranking of the professional courses. That score line is really nothing to a school like Yi High School. Xu Lichen is very stable. Zhang Qi suddenly saw Yue Song again in school. She hadn¡¯t seen Yue Song for a long time. When Yue Song and the others arrived in their senior year, they all quit the student union and started various internships. It was difficult to see them in school anymore. Zhang Qi was surprised to see him in the corridor, so she greeted him: ¡°Why did you come to school today?¡± ¡°I came to work.¡± Yue Song said. Thinking that she is Zhang Yansheng¡¯s cousin, the person he will face sooner or later, Yue Song¡¯s tone and attitude are very gentle, and he even smiled at Zhang Qi and said, ¡°Going to a meeting?¡± ¡°Yes.¡± Zhang Qi said, ¡°These freshmen don¡¯t understand anything, we¡¯re all exhausted.¡± Yue Song said, ¡°Then I won¡¯t delay your time. I¡¯ll go now, goodbye.¡± He also nodded and smiled at the younger brothers and sisters behind Zhang Qi. This senior is as handsome as a movie star, and the demeanor between his gestures is indescribable. In short, it makes people¡¯s eyes straight. The younger students who were not familiar with him all responded helplessly: ¡°Goodbye, Senior Brother.¡± When he left, everyone whispered: ¡°Who is that?¡± A senior told the freshman: ¡°He¡¯s Senior Brother Yue. Last year, he was the president of the student union. This year he was in his senior year and retired from the student union, so you have never seen him.¡± A freshman girl praised: ¡°He looks like a noble son in the novel.¡± When she said this, Zhang Qi recovered from Yue Song¡¯s back. Indeed, when Yue Song was not with his roommates, and when he was not mixed up with any other students, he did look like a noble son. Zhang Qi recalled that it seemed that the clothes Yue Song was wearing just now should be genuine from big brands. She was completely fascinated by Yue Song¡¯s smile just now, and she didn¡¯t have time to pay attention to his clothes. But now that she thinks about it, they should indeed be genuine. When it¡¯s time to look for a job in the senior year, many people who were usually not particular started to buy some formal clothes that were much more expensive than their own dressing habits, just to make an impression during the interview. Yue Song, this is¡­ just like everyone else, would rather pay the price and act as a great person just to save face. The price of men¡¯s clothing of that brand can really only be described as ¡®expensive¡¯. Zhang Qi thought of the gentle and charming smile he had just shown to her. How indifferent he was to her in the past, his eyebrows were cold and his eyes were faint. Although it was charming, it was also hateful. But why has it all changed now? Thinking of some acquaintance seniors spitting out bitterness in front of her, hoping that she could arrange jobs for them¡­ Zhang Qi smiled contemptuously. Sure enough, he had to endure severe beatings from the society to make him understand how lucky it was to meet a daughter with a rich background like her as a schoolmate. Some people just don¡¯t know how to cherish this kind of good luck, and they don¡¯t know how to regret it until they hit a wall. If Yue Song also comes to ask her for help¡­ Zhang Qi thought about it for a while, but couldn¡¯t figure out whether she would help him arrange a job or not. We¡¯ll talk about it later then! CH 131 The college entrance examination matter has been lingering in her ears from the moment she stepped into the high school gate. She listened to it a lot for more than 900 days, and it really swooped like a fly. The time for third-year high school students is so tight that Zhang Yansheng¡¯s 18th birthday this year was celebrated by just eating a cake at home. In the blink of an eye, the students were already sitting in the examination room of the college entrance examination. In this examination room, 99.9% of the students are trying to give themselves a future. Only 0.1% of them like Zhang Yansheng, who have mines in their homes, are doing it just for their own verification. The mentality can be relaxed and there is no tension at all. Zhang Huan was probably more nervous than her, and came to pick her up personally after the exam every day. But on the last day, Zhang Yansheng opened the car door and only leaned half of her body in, and asked, ¡°Where is my bag? Did you forget to bring it?¡± Zhang Huan handed her bag over: ¡°What is this about? What are you doing?¡± Zhang Yansheng threw the exam stationery bag to him: ¡°I¡¯m not going home. I¡¯ll go out and relax for a few days.¡± She put on her bag, slammed the car door, and ran away. Zhang Huan: ¡°¡­¡± Zhang Huan moved to the side, put down the car window and stuck out his head and shouted, ¡°Come back early, pay attention to your safety!¡± Looking again, his eyes were full of students and parents, and there were so many people that made him dizzy. However, there was no shadow of Zhang Yansheng. Heh! She¡¯s like a mule that just comes out! But the jumping and running because of excitement is gone! Zhang Huan hummed a few times and told his driver: ¡°Let¡¯s go, let¡¯s go back.¡± As soon as the exam ended, there were too many people. Some students didn¡¯t leave after the exam, and they still got together there to talk. Some were happy and some were sad, some cried when they came out of the exam room, and some jumped three feet high and ran wildly. ¡°Oh, this is the f*cking youth.¡± Zhang Huan sighed and smiled. The entrance where the examination was held is just a small road, and there is no railing between the lanes in the two directions. Zhang Huan¡¯s car and another sports car passed by each other. However, he did not find that the driver of that car is Yue Song. Yue Song said: ¡°If you are tired, go to sleep first.¡± Zhang Yansheng said: ¡°How can I sleep if my mind is still working.¡± Yue Song said, ¡°Okay, it will be easier from now on.¡± Zhang Yansheng closed her eyes and let out a long, pleasant sigh. After three years of her rebirth, she overthrew all the abandoned deserted high school days and started over again. The hard work and effort she put in during this period, self-adjustment, breaking and reshaping, the journey of the heart, the sweet, sour, and spicy flavors¡­ only she herself understands it all. Zhang Yansheng couldn¡¯t help but turn her head slightly to look at Yue Song ¡ª his beautiful jawline, snow-white shirt collar, and long neck. She closed her eyes and the scene of her previous life flashed in her mind. He hugged her, with some other people¡¯s blood splattered on his jaw and shirt collar. She remembered the voice that sounded deep in her soul again ¡ª ¡°Tell me.¡± Zhang Yansheng suddenly asked, ¡°What is the right path in a person¡¯s life?¡± But before Yue Song could answer, she asked herself: ¡°In fact, it means¡­ study hard, work hard, and live well, right? There can be no bigger waves, right? Basically, everyone is like this, right?¡± This string of ¡®right¡¯ made Yue Song laugh, ¡°Did the college entrance examination sublimate your thoughts? That made you start thinking about these kinds of social philosophical questions?¡± Zhang Yansheng ignored his ridicule and only asked, ¡°Just tell me, am I on the right path now?¡± This is a girl who has just passed the college entrance examination and has just finished her tiring high school life. Many students may be mentally fragile at this time. Although Yue Song felt that Zhang Yansheng would not be in this state as well, he still answered her carefully: ¡°Of course you are.¡± His tone was very firm which gave Zhang Yansheng an affirmation. Zhang Yansheng let out another pleasant sigh, then closed her eyes and leaned back in her seat: ¡°Wake me up when we get to the airport.¡± ¡­¡­ ¡­¡­ Zhang Yansheng opened the door and walked to the terrace. This holiday home is built halfway up the mountain, with snow-capped mountains in the distance and gentle and wide hills at the foot. There are not many trees. Looking around, the green weeds are covered with flowers of various colors. There is a fresh smell in the air, and the sky is high, wide and far-reaching, and extremely clean. It makes people feel that they are all small. ¡°Did you sleep well?¡± On the wooden terrace, Yue Song asked while sitting on the recliner chair. ¡°I slept well!¡± Zhang Yansheng stretched out, revealing a flat, strong and snow-white belly, ¡°I have completely recovered.¡± ¡°Come and sit down for a while.¡± Yue Song said. Zhang Yansheng teased him: ¡°You look like the old man in those landscape postcards.¡± ¡°The old man has experienced everything before knowing what is best.¡± He patted his leg, ¡°Come here.¡± Zhang Yansheng went over and ignored the other recliner, she sat in his arms and leaned back. The two did not speak. After a while, Zhang Yansheng said softly, ¡°It¡¯s so quiet.¡± Not only is the surrounding quiet, but the heart is also quiet. Yue Song said, ¡°You should come to places like this more, be quiet, and change your temper.¡± Zhang Yansheng turned her head and bit his chin: ¡°Give up. Other things can be changed, but my temper can¡¯t be changed.¡± Yue Song clasped the back of her head, lowered his head, and kissed her. Zhang Yansheng closed her eyes, feeling extremely relaxed. This is probably her most relaxing moment in the three years since she was reborn. The kiss between the young couple was lingering and lasting, and it was difficult for the two to separate, but Yue Song finally stopped. Zhang Yansheng could feel his messy breathing and body abnormalities. As a boyfriend of a senior high school girl, Yue Song¡¯s year has actually been quite hard ¡ª there are very few dates and he is afraid of affecting Zhang Yansheng¡¯s mentality of learning. He also keeps converging on himself all the time. Of course, there are also concerns about Zhang Yansheng¡¯s age. No matter how fierce the desire is, people cannot be inferior to animals. Fortunately, she has finally grown up, and his girlfriend is now an adult. Zhang Yansheng used her fingers to outline his beautiful chin and sexy Adam¡¯s apple, thinking to herself that this person always endures too much. But this will be a sunny afternoon. She changed the subject and said, ¡°This house is very interesting. Everything here is in a pair, the recliner chairs here on the terrace, the sofa by the fireplace¡­¡± There are also many small details, which all give people the feeling of being in pairs. Yue Song smiled helplessly: ¡°You discovered it.¡± ¡°The vacation houses of our family all over the world were basically bought by my parents. The two of them¡­¡± He couldn¡¯t continue anymore. But Zhang Yansheng understood. This pair of man and woman born with good fortune and raised in honey have been living in a two-person world from young age to middle-aged. Therefore, their vacation houses all over the world show a state of a two-person world. ¡°My grandfather doesn¡¯t like to come to these places.¡± Yue Song said, ¡°Because every time he sees this kind of vacation house arranged by my parents, he gets angry. However, he himself doesn¡¯t like taking vacations. He is a workaholic man. He has been like this since he was young. He is a completely different person from my dad.¡± Zhang Yansheng touched his face and said, ¡°Does he want to train you to be that kind of person?¡± ¡°That¡¯s not good.¡± Yue Song¡¯s eyes flashed with cunning and he said, ¡°I am different from him. He is single, but I have a girlfriend.¡± Zhang Yansheng laughed loudly. They left the vacation house, strolled on the hillside, picked a lot of wild flowers, made bouquets, and brought them back to the vacation house. In the evening Yue Song personally cooked steak, with red wine and candlelight. The altitude and climate here make it hot in the afternoon, and the early morning and evening are as cold as late autumn. From morning to evening, you can experience different seasons in a day. Yue Song lit the fireplace to drive away the cold, and the house became warmer. The floor in front of the fireplace is not covered with carpets, but animal skins. Lying on it, the fur is soft and very comfortable. In the warm and leaping firelight, the shadows of the two people overlapped. But Yue Song hesitated in the end. Although he and Zhang Yansheng have been together for a year, he still worries about their age difference, whether it is too early now. But Zhang Yansheng honestly and unceremoniously seized control, and has already begun to take off his clothes. Yue Song: ¡°¡­¡± ¡°Hey.¡± He pressed her hand and looked at this presumptuous girl. Zhang Yansheng was dissatisfied: ¡°Shouldn¡¯t you keep quiet at this time?¡± ¡°That¡¯s too much, Zhang Yansheng.¡± Yue Song stared at her, ¡°Do you really think you are an alpha?¡± Zhang Yansheng¡¯s eyes were provocative: ¡°Otherwise?¡± ¡°Even if you are an alpha,¡± Yue Song turned around and regained control, with deep eyes, ¡°But I am not an Omega.¡± The corners of Zhang Yansheng¡¯s mouth curled up and she stretched out her hand unceremoniously¡­ The flames jumped, the pine trees buzzed, and the fragrance of wood was scattered all over the room. The portrait floats on the tide. Every pore, every cell is opened, and it is very comfortable. When the tide faded, Yue Song propped his head, hugged Zhang Yansheng in his arms, held her hand, and rubbed it gently. ¡°Zhang Yansheng¡­¡± He leaned down and kissed her earlobe lightly, ¡°Do you know how long I have waited for you?¡± ¡°Hmm?¡± Zhang Yansheng¡¯s nasal voice had a unique comfort afterwards, ¡°How long?¡± Yue Song kissed her face: ¡°From the first time I saw you.¡± Zhang Yansheng smiled bitterly: ¡°I was actually surprised when I saw you.¡± ¡°Who would not be?¡± Yue Song¡¯s palms have a warm temperature, and wherever he goes, they are always warm and comfortable. ¡°Human needs and emotions are not determined by hormones. Your happiness, anger, and sadness are all hormones that tell the brain what emotions you should have.¡± ¡°It¡¯s sad.¡± Zhang Yan sighed, ¡°Humans are such low-level animals. When can we get rid of these low-level needs?¡± ¡°Why do you want to get rid of it?¡± Yue Song pressed her again, ¡°Didn¡¯t your hormones tell you that this makes you happy?¡± ¡°That¡¯s not it. I want to make an appeal.¡± Zhang Yansheng hugged his neck and said with a smile. Only after studying the low-level needs of human beings, she received a call from Mo Lin the next day. Mo Lin obviously made this call after considering it. ¡°Theoretically, I shouldn¡¯t interfere with the private lives of my clients.¡± She said, ¡°But the two of us don¡¯t have that kind of business relationship only, and this matter only happened because of me. After thinking about it, I think you should know about this too.¡± The matter is actually quite simple, it¡¯s just about Zhang Huan, who hooked up with an up-and-coming starlet. CH 132 When they went to B City for the premiere of¡¶Leaving the Solar System¡·, Mo Lin took advantage of the hot iron to recommend new projects to Zhang Huan. The entertainment industry has developed well in the past two years, and Mo Lin has several film and television projects in her hands. After going back and forth, Zhang Huan hooked up with a female star. Mo Lin felt that she was the middleman who caused the two of them to hook up. If it were another customer, Mo Lin wouldn¡¯t care. It¡¯s none of her business anyway. But this is Zhang Yansheng¡¯s father. Mo Lin and Zhang Yansheng are very close to each other, and their relationship is more or less beyond the relationship between ordinary clients. After thinking about it, Mo Lin decided to tell Zhang Yansheng, afraid that Zhang Yansheng and her mother would suffer. ¡°In fact, it has been a long time.¡± She said, ¡°But I¡¯m afraid that it will affect your college entrance examination, so I waited until now. Sorry, Yansheng.¡± ¡°Needless to say, I¡¯m sorry, Big Sister Mo, you didn¡¯t do anything wrong. It¡¯s none of your business.¡± Zhang Yansheng told her, ¡°You don¡¯t have to worry about me. My dad¡¯s current wife is not my mother either. My mother passed away a long time ago.¡± Mo Lin was relieved when she said that. She had learned that Zhang Yansheng¡¯s father is a habitual offender and that Zhang Yansheng seems to be used to it a long time ago. After thinking about it, she said to Zhang Yansheng, ¡°Then you¡­ have to protect your interests, okay?¡± Zhang Yansheng laughed: ¡°Big Sister Mo, I like your personality.¡± She did not talk to her about her feelings or anything, but she first wanted her to protect her own interests instead. This is really too appetizing for Zhang Yansheng. That being said, when she sat on the terrace and looked at the snow-capped mountains and the open sky in the distance, she still felt a trace of the desolation of the stagnant water like an old man. This kind of sentiment is no longer aimed at Zhang Huan himself, or at one of his behaviors, but at the marriage itself. Zhang Yansheng didn¡¯t understand why Zhang Huan had to get the certificate with Liang Yingying before, because people like Zhang Huan could live a life without red flags but colorful flags instead. However, after she experienced the rebirth, seeing Liang Yingying¡¯s current position in the Zhang family, and seeing Zhang Huan¡¯s attitude and requirements towards her, she already vaguely understood. It turns out that sometimes when a man marries a woman and lets her enter the family, he may not actually want a wife. There may even be a very large majority of men who think this way. But when the focus is on the female group, this ratio is just the opposite. The vast majority of women want love, husbands, and harmonious and happy marriages. Of course, there are also some women who only want a person and use it as a tool, but compared with men, there is an inversion of proportions between women and men who think this way. Zhang Yansheng is also a woman, so she cannot agree with Zhang Huan¡¯s view of marriage. Because essentially, this view of marriage despises the sacredness of marriage itself, making marriage utilitarian and rather low-level, and becoming a means to achieve a certain quality of life. This is true for Zhang Huan, and so are Xu Lichen¡¯s parents. What Father Xu really likes is clearly the kind of weak little white flower, but he married Mother Xu. It¡¯s mainly because Mother Xu is capable, able to support a family, and able to help him in his career. This makes Zhang Yansheng lose interest in marriage itself. She even started to think about it now, to the point where Mo Lin had to call and warn her. Is Zhang Huan¡¯s love affair so obvious for other people to notice it, or was it just rare for Mo Lin to see it and find it strange? Aside from the little star in front of him, Zhang Yansheng was even considering if there will be a day where such a woman will appear and make Zhang Huan want to change his wife, then what should she do? As a result, after Zhang Yansheng compared various hypotheses, she found that she might¡­ take the initiative to help Liang Yingying stabilize her Mrs. Zhang¡¯s position. Because compared to other people, Liang Yingying is really a very weak opponent. Even to Zhang Yansheng, she is now unworthy of being regarded as an opponent. Zhang Yansheng had suppressed her to death, made her instrumental to the greatest extent, and minimized her influence on Zhang Huan, and even changed her influence on Zhang Heling and Zhang Shuocheng. Not to mention the staff at home, from the aunts to the drivers. To put it simply, in the state where Liang Yingying is Mrs. Zhang, Zhang Yansheng controls and influences almost everything, including Zhang Huan. Her interests can be maximized and her life can be most stable. And if there is such a woman who has a great influence on Zhang Huan to the extent that he would want to change his wife, you can imagine that it is a variable which is difficult to control. If this variable reproduces other variables, such as giving birth to Zhang Huan again, there is no doubt that Zhang Yansheng¡¯s interests will suffer losses and her status will be threatened. This is not what she wants to see. Therefore, supporting Liang Yingying is her best choice. At this time, Yue Song came to the terrace. He took the mixed wine and handed it to Zhang Yansheng. This made Zhang Yansheng wake up from these hypotheses and suddenly realized that her current thinking pattern was completely separated from the girl in the previous life who hysterically only wanted her father to look at her more. Zhang Yansheng couldn¡¯t help being startled. ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± Yue Song asked. ¡°Nothing.¡± Zhang Yansheng took a sip of wine. At this time, it is very suitable to have a little alcohol to stimulate the nerves. Yue Song asked her at this time: ¡°Do you like it here?¡± His neckline is open, his collarbone is delicate, and his Adam¡¯s apple is sexy. Zhang Yansheng woke up in his arms this morning. This place is far away from the world, without the troubles of self-serving vulgarity and selfishness, only the beautiful scenery of nature and the kisses and hugs of close lovers. It is simply a perfect moment. It would be great if life could be frozen here. But obviously, some people don¡¯t think so, because some people hope that time will continue to advance. Yue Song gathered her hair and said: ¡°Our family has vacation houses like this all over the world. Some are in this kind of environment, some are in the metropolis, and each has its own advantages.¡± Zhang Yansheng exclaimed: ¡°Auntie and uncle are really so happy to see the scenery all over the world.¡± Yue Song smiled slightly: ¡°I want to do the same.¡± Zhang Yansheng looked at him. His deep eyes were looking at her, and there was affection surging and gushing out from those eyes. Zhang Yansheng was startled, with a faint premonition, but she didn¡¯t want to think about it. ¡°Yansheng,¡± Yue Song said, ¡°I hope to take you to every vacation house of our family, just like my parents.¡± Zhang Yansheng did not speak. Yue Song stretched out his hand, took the wine glass from her hand, and put it aside. He stood up holding her hand and knelt down on one knee in front of her. Zhang Yansheng¡¯s premonition really came true. At first glance, the ring is ancestral, with a classical style and a huge gemstone, with a heavy sense of inheritance and ritual. Yue Song proposed to her: ¡°Yansheng, marry me, and we will travel all over the world together, okay?¡± Zhang Yansheng, a girl who is a scum and put on her skirt and turned her face to deny others, thought of the first reason for rejecting the proposal: ¡°I am not yet of the legal age for marriage.¡± ¡°Of course, I know, so I think we should get engaged first.¡± Yue Song got up and sat beside her, squeezed her hand, and explained his reasons for doing so, ¡°Our family is different from yours, unlike your family, who has your father and uncle. Our family is inherited from generation to generation. When my grandfather is older, he always worries about when he will suddenly give up, so he pushes me very tightly and that is why I didn¡¯t go to graduate school. I will officially enter the family business this year. I will be really busy in the future. This means that I can¡¯t stay with you all the time in school.¡± And college life is completely different from high school life. Colorful, youthful and free, the campus is full of hormones. There are a lot of boys who are really the same age as her. It took a while before Zhang Yansheng understood it: ¡°Are you afraid that I will change my mind?¡± Yue Song looked up at the blue sky and admitted, ¡°It can be understood that way.¡± Zhang Yansheng raised her eyebrows: ¡°You don¡¯t seem to be such an insecure person. Or do you have no confidence in me?¡± ¡°I have confidence in you and me. But I am worried about something else.¡± Yue Song was honest, ¡°Because I have been running at both ends of the school and the company, I am particularly aware that the two sides are completely different environments, and it can be said that there is a dimensional wall. And you have to stay in school for at least four more years. What I am worried about is that these two environments will bring different changes to you and me.¡± ¡°Logical paradox.¡± Zhang Yansheng pointed out mercilessly, ¡°If by then, we have really become unsuitable to be together because of the influence of our surroundings, what if we are married? Does the operation of divorce have no meaning?¡± Yue Song and Zhang Yansheng have been together for a year, and he knows very well that Zhang Yansheng is a persistent and tough person. If you can¡¯t convince her, then it¡¯ll be useless to say more. And the logical paradox she pointed out really exists and cannot be refuted. Yue Song sighed and put away the ring, but still held Zhang Yansheng¡¯s hand: ¡°Tell me then, how can I tie you?¡± Zhang Yansheng smiled, leaned over, and kissed him. The kiss was lingering and affectionate. Because this is the stage when young men and women have the most impulsive hormones and the most dopamine control of the brain. Hormones tell their brains that at this moment, they are very happy and merry. But Zhang Yansheng was really a trash, she just wanted to stay in this state with Yue Song, and didn¡¯t want to go any further. Zhang Yansheng and Yue Song returned to K City in China. Everyone¡¯s progress is different. At this time, Zhang Heling, who is about to graduate from elementary school, is already preparing for her graduation exam, while Zhang Shuocheng, who is in the fourth grade, has not finished his curriculum this semester. ¡°Yoh, did you have a good time? Where did you go to play this time?¡± Zhang Huan asked. Zhang Yansheng was obviously very relaxed, and all the blue and black eyes caused by lack of sleep in high school were gone. The skin was so supple and shiny, it was like a shelled egg, and there was no flaw. Being so young makes middle-aged and elderly people jealous! Moreover, Zhang Huan always felt that Zhang Yansheng seemed to have some different feelings between her eyebrows, but he couldn¡¯t tell. Zhang Yansheng also looked at Zhang Huan. She was too busy studying before and didn¡¯t pay much attention to him. After Mo Lin reminded her, after a closer look, she really saw something. That look really shows the spring breeze that the man and woman both have grasped with a flushed of success. Liang Yingying¡¯s attitude towards Zhang Yansheng is completely different now. She came up and said flatteringly: ¡°Are you tired from sitting on the plane for a long time? If you want something to eat, I¡¯ll tell the aunts to get you something.¡± Zhang Yansheng moved her gaze and also glanced at Liang Yingying. With that look, Liang Yingying couldn¡¯t help but think of the rich men who looked at her when she was still a wild model, when she went to those dinners and parties. Liang Yingying shuddered slightly, as if clearly seeing her position in the food chain. CH 133 Enchantress15-19 minutes 14.04.2022 Zhang Yansheng only told Xu Lichen about Yue Song¡¯s proposal to her. ¡°D*mn, thanks to you for rejecting it!¡± Xu Lichen had PTSD when he heard the word marriage, ¡°What¡¯s so good about marriage? Why do people want to get married? Are they mentally ill? Isn¡¯t it good to just fall in love and sprinkle dog food? Why tie them together and jump into the grave?¡± Zhang Yansheng knew that if anyone could understand her, it would be Xu Lichen. He and her are too similar in certain life experiences, so they resonate too much in some ways. However, when Xu Lichen thought of someone like Yue Song who was always calm and relaxed and Zhang Yansheng refusing his proposal, he laughed wildly: ¡°Is this old man mentally ill? He was only in his early 20s, what kind of marriage does he want to get married to?!¡± After laughing, he still asked again: ¡°I¡¯m just saying, what happened to Lao Yue, to say that he is old, but he is only 22. Seriously, how could he think about getting married? The brains of the elderly are really different from those of our teenagers, right?¡± In fact, Zhang Yansheng could understand Yue Song. Experts say that the shelf life of love is only within 11 months, but although they have been together for a year, because Zhang Yansheng had to take the college entrance examination, they rarely date during the semester, and the real effective love time is less than 11 months. Therefore, Yue Song and her have actually been stuck in the hot sweet period when they were just together. There are two situations where men take the initiative to propose the most: the first reason is that they were unable to restrain their emotions when they are so in love; the second reason is that many parties weigh and recognize the cost-effectiveness of this marriage contract, and believe that two people can form a relatively stable family. And most of the remaining people have no reason to propose or do not want to propose at all. It¡¯s just that when the time has come, as they get older and their parents urge them to get married, the two of them would then decide to not look for someone else. They will ask each other, ¡°When are we going to get the certificate?¡±, and will just go with the flow. At present, Yue Song obviously belongs to the first kind, with strong love and strong affection. Although Xu Lichen laughed and called Yue Song an ¡®old man¡¯, Yue Song was actually a boy who had just graduated from his senior year in university. No matter whether he usually behaved more mature and calmer than his peers, he was the same young boy after all. When he proposed, he clearly expressed his concerns: he would leave the campus, but Zhang Yansheng was about to enter the university campus. Yue Song knows that the four years of university are an important stage in the transformation of a person from a teenager to a young man or young lady. There may be considerable changes in his thoughts, so he just wants insurance. He should have made plans to propose before this trip. And this trip after the college entrance examination was actually scheduled a long time ago. Although the two of them did not make it clear, with Zhang Yansheng¡¯s ¡®precocious maturity¡¯, Yue Song knew that she would be able to understand what he meant ¡ª a man and a woman traveling alone is just to take the relationship further. But that night, Yue Song actually hesitated. This person always thinks too much and worries too much. Instead, Zhang Yansheng took the initiative to attack, so the two of them took a step forward and had a closer relationship. The only thing Zhang Yansheng couldn¡¯t be sure about was that if they didn¡¯t have an intimate relationship that day, would Yue Song propose the next day? But this hypothesis no longer needs to be considered, because they had an intimate relationship after all, and the next day, Yue Song proposed without hesitation. And when Zhang Yansheng rejected him, he was not so frustrated. In fact, he naturally accepted Zhang Yansheng¡¯s rejection, and it can be seen that he had already predicted the rejection in his considerations. His marriage proposal is not so much about results as it is an expression. He didn¡¯t insist on a result now, but he clearly expressed to Zhang Yansheng his ultimate expectations for the future of his relationship with her. Love is sometimes a game. Zhang Heling¡¯s graduation exam has just been completed, and Zhang Yansheng¡¯s college entrance examination results have also come down. She not just did good; it can even be said to be excellent. ¡°University K, it¡¯s stable!¡± Zhang Huan said beamingly after checking her scores. ¡°Dad, that means that my sister will definitely be able to enter K University, right?¡± Zhang Heling is more nervous and excited than Zhang Yansheng herself. She suddenly became taller in the sixth grade and her height may have been more affected by her mother. Her height is now close to that of an adult. Anyway, Zhang Yansheng feels that Zhang Heling is taller than she was when she was in middle high school. She looked completely girly at that time. ¡°Oh, oh, oh!¡± Zhang Huan rubbed his knees with joy and emotion, and said to Zhang Yansheng, ¡°Dad really didn¡¯t expect that there would be such a day.¡± Three years ago, when Zhang Yansheng was in middle school, her academic performance was mediocre and her personality was not good. At that time, Zhang Huan had already made plans to pave the way for Zhang Yansheng¡¯s studies with money in the future. If Zhang Yansheng was sent to a good school like Yi High School, and Zhang Yansheng can¡¯t keep up, then he will spend money to send her abroad for an undergraduate diploma, so that his face would look better. Zhang Huan didn¡¯t have any expectations, but he didn¡¯t expect that Zhang Yansheng had really been transformed by Yi High School! After three years, she was admitted to the double first-class university.1Ë«Ò»Á÷ ¨C Double First-Class University Plan ¨C The World First Class University and First-Class Academic Discipline Construction combined and are known as Double First Class is a tertiary education development initiative designed by the People¡¯s Republic of China government, in 2015, which aims to comprehensively develop elite Chinese universities and their individual faculty departments into world-class institutions by the end of 2050. No, no, that¡¯s not right! Zhang Huan suddenly realized that Zhang Yansheng¡¯s changes were long before she entered Yi High School. She actually started to change during the summer vacation when she graduated from middle school. If it weren¡¯t for the hard work of that summer vacation, how could she enter the top preparatory class? At that time, he was affected by many emotions and he was also always in the office, so it was difficult to detect it. But now that three years have passed, looking back on that summer vacation, those feelings of surprise and disobedience have emerged in his heart. But it just flashed by. Zhang Huan finished rubbing his knees and patted his thighs: ¡°Yanyan, I have to throw a party for you to celebrate this time!¡± ¡°Dad, is it the kind that Sister Qiqi did before?¡± Zhang Heling still remembers it and said, ¡°The time when uncle rewarded Sister Qiqi a car?¡± Zhang Yansheng didn¡¯t have much of an impression of that party. First, it was a coincidence that her celebration party was held a few days before her rebirth, so she didn¡¯t make it in this life. In the previous life, she was mediocre in front of her excellent cousin, and she simply belongs to the control group,2¶ÔÕÕ×é ¨C A control group refers to a randomly selected subset of experimental subjects in which individuals are not given special treatment. The reason for the need for a control group is: without a control group, there is no way to determine whether such an operation or some other variable (or several combined variables) has an effect. so she didn¡¯t have a good impression of that party However, this kind of party to celebrate further studies, people like them, as long as their children don¡¯t do too well in the exam, will still do it. Zhang Yansheng didn¡¯t care: ¡°Let¡¯s do it.¡± She looked at her watch: ¡°I need to go and learn how to drive.¡± After she and Yue Song returned from abroad, she immediately started to learn how to drive. After the reform of the driving test system in City K, you will be allowed to apply for the driving test directly without going to the driving school, but this reform hasn¡¯t happened yet. Zhang Yansheng wants to get a driver¡¯s license, so she has to go to the driving school first to enroll. Xu Lichen has been staying in K City honestly this summer vacation, just because he is also learning to drive now. In fact, both of them are veteran drivers with good driving skills. When Zhang Yansheng left, Zhang Heling quietly asked Zhang Huan: ¡°Dad, what reward are you going to give my sister?¡± Zhang Huan smiled at Hehe: ¡°I¡¯ll show you, but don¡¯t tell your sister!¡± He raised his mobile phone and showed it to Zhang Heling. Zhang Heling cupped her face: ¡°Wow~¡± Oww, his little girl, who always learns from her elder sister, has learned so much. It¡¯s just that her cold aura would often show in just less than three seconds, and she¡¯ll turn into her original self again, still silly and sweet in her bones. Zhang Huan instructed her: ¡°Don¡¯t tell your sister, it wouldn¡¯t be fun if she knew about it in advance!¡± The art universities admit students in advance. Xu Lichen was steadily admitted to SX and will go to school in H City in the future. ¡°My mother has already started to build a film and television company.¡± Xu Lichen said, ¡°She has also begun to find a gold manager for me too.¡± Because of the Xu family¡¯s affairs and his mother¡¯s violent methods, although the two of them stood on a unified front, they had invisible barriers and were a bit more alienated. Zhang Yansheng could hear that Mother Xu was working hard to fulfill her promise to Xu Lichen, working hard to make up for and repair the relationship between mother and son. Zhang Yansheng didn¡¯t ask Xu Lichen how his father is now, and Xu Lichen didn¡¯t say anything as well. Since that incident, he has never mentioned his father to Zhang Yansheng once. Xu Lichen changed the subject and asked her: ¡°What car are you going to buy?¡± Zhang Yansheng said indifferently: ¡°Let¡¯s talk about it when the time comes.¡± Xu Lichen said: ¡°I have bought my car already, so I am just waiting for my driver¡¯s license to go on the road legally. Having this driving class is really annoying.¡± After the admission results came out, Zhang Yansheng was not surprised to be admitted to K University. Zhang Huan beamed and gave invitations to relatives and friends in the family to have a celebration for Zhang Yansheng. Zhang Yansheng¡¯s uncle, Zhang Yu, was very happy for Zhang Yansheng, and said to his wife Zhao Lanfen, ¡°Why do you not want to go? It¡¯s not appropriate if we don¡¯t go.¡± Her son has refused to go home until now, so he is hiding abroad. Zhao Lanfen felt that there was nothing to be happy about this year. ¡°Fine, we¡¯ll go.¡± She said with interest. She heard her husband say to her daughter: ¡°This is great. Yanyan will be your schoolmate in the future. You are her elder sister, so take care of Yanyan in school.¡± Zhao Lanfen said angrily: ¡°How old is Yanyan that she still needs someone to take care of her?¡± Zhang Yu smiled: ¡°I¡¯m just saying it.¡± Zhao Lanfen suddenly said to Zhang Qi: ¡°Bring your boyfriend to Yanyan¡¯s celebration party.¡± Zhang Qi said angrily: ¡°I don¡¯t have a boyfriend.¡± ¡°It¡¯s Xiao Wu from Luo Ming Electronics.¡± Zhao Lanfen said, ¡°Or that little grandson, oh forget it, his family digs coal. So, forget it! I shouldn¡¯t have mentioned him! Let¡¯s take Xiao Wu.¡± Zhang Yu was speechless: ¡°How many boyfriends do you have?¡± ¡°What do you care about this?¡± Zhao Lanfen spat at him, ¡°Just take care of the company¡¯s affairs. Our daughter is beautiful and there are many suitors. Do you have an opinion on this?¡± How could Zhang Yu dare to have an opinion? When he pursued Zhao Lanfen before, he also broke out from a group of suitors. He snorted twice. Zhao Lanfen chatted with Zhang Qi about a show she was going to participate in two days later. After Zhang Qi became an adult, Zhao Lanfen began to take her in and out of some social gatherings of ladies and celebrities. Balls, dinners, and fashion shows are the places where they appear most often. Zhang Yu didn¡¯t want to hear anything about it and walked away. The party to celebrate Zhang Yansheng¡¯s admission to K University was held as scheduled. In addition to the friends and family invited by Zhang Huan, Zhang Yansheng also invited her own friends. After being classmates for three years, Zhang Yansheng naturally has classmates who have become close to her and can be called friends. But to her surprise, Zhang Zhiyuan from Class 1 actually came. The classmates were all shocked at Zhang Yansheng¡¯s home. In the past three years, Zhang Yansheng has kept a low profile and did not show off, but she can still show some clues in the details. The students in the class knew that Zhang Yansheng¡¯s family was in good condition, but they didn¡¯t expect that Zhang Yansheng¡¯s family would be so rich. Everyone has become more well-behaved than usual, and they pay special attention to politeness when speaking. Among these people, Zhang Yansheng saw Zhang Zhiyuan. But in fact, Zhang Yansheng did not invite Zhang Zhiyuan. In the past, when everyone was in the same class, the natural relationship was not bad. But then Zhang Zhiyuan went to the upper class. As long as there is a physical distance between people, the relationship is often alienated. The relationship between Zhang Yansheng and Zhang Zhiyuan has long since faded into a matter of nodding when they met at school. They haven¡¯t had a chance to speak for about two years. ¡°I didn¡¯t expect you to come too.¡± Zhang Yansheng was quite happy, ¡°By the way, congratulations, Champion!¡± Zhang Zhiyuan, like in her previous life, has also became a provincial champion in this life and was successfully admitted to Q University. Zhang Zhiyuan smiled slightly and said, ¡°When I saw a few of them in the group chat talking about today, I didn¡¯t know until I asked, so I came to join in the fun. I came uninvited, so I hope you don¡¯t mind.¡± Zhang Yansheng smiled, ¡°Mind what? Of course, you¡¯re certainly welcome. You guys wait a moment.¡± Zhang Yansheng went to bring Zhang Huan over and introduced him: ¡°They are all my classmates.¡± She introduced all their names, and Zhang Huan smiled and nodded to everyone: ¡°Okay, okay.¡± Zhang Yansheng finally introduced Zhang Zhiyuan: ¡°This year, he is the provincial champion of our province and has been admitted to Q University.¡± Zhang Huan let out a ¡°oh¡± and stretched out his hand to Zhang Zhiyuan: ¡°Awesome, awesome!¡± He regarded Zhang Yansheng¡¯s classmates as ¡®children¡¯ and nodded when he greeted them, but stretched out his hand to shake Zhang Zhiyuan¡¯s hand. Zhang Zhiyuan was not used to it, but fortunately he reacted quickly and hurriedly stretched out his hand: ¡°You are flattering me too much.¡± Although he is not flustered, he can see that he has not much experience. Zhang Yansheng noticed this detail in Zhang Huan¡¯s attitude. So, when you have value that can be recognized by others, others will give you treatment that is different from others. Zhang Yansheng smiled slightly. CH 134 Enchantress13-16 minutes 15.04.2022 ¡°Yanyan, can we start now?¡± Zhang Huan asked. Zhang Yansheng said, ¡°Wait a minute.¡± Zhang Huan said inexplicably, ¡°Is there anyone else here who hasn¡¯t arrived yet?¡± Zhang Yansheng: ¡°My boyfriend.¡± ¡°???¡± Zhang Huan was stunned, ¡°When did you have a boyfriend?¡± Isn¡¯t she studying so hard all the time? When did this happen? He hadn¡¯t noticed that his own cabbage was eaten by someone. ¡°Hey! Hey!¡± Zhang Huan said angrily, ¡°I¡¯m not ready yet!¡± Zhang Yan said: ¡°???¡± Zhang Huan said, ¡°I¡¯m not yet mentally prepared to be a father-in-law!¡± This person is really annoying. Zhang Yansheng rolled her eyes, turned around, and walked away. Most of the people who came were relatives and friends, and when they saw Zhang Yansheng, they gave praises of ¡®grown up¡¯, ¡®mature¡¯, and the like. Her uncle and aunt took her cousin Zhang Qi everywhere to greet relatives and introduce them: ¡°Zhihua¡¯s family owns the Luo Ming Electronics.¡± Zhang Huan talked to Zhang Yansheng in a low voice just now. He let Zhang Yansheng know that although Luo Ming Electronics is good, it¡¯s not too great, at least not as big as the Zhang¡¯s. The ostentatious introduction of her uncle and aunt was more like an eagerness to erase the haze brought to her by Zhang Lin¡¯s rebellion. But not every relative can be as rich as the Zhang family. Wu Zhihua seems to be another talent. There are still many relatives who listen, show envy, and say nice compliments. Zhao Lanfen enjoyed it completely. Zhang Zhiyuan has been watching Zhang Yansheng in the crowd. In fact, he discovered that Zhang Yansheng¡¯s family background was excellent earlier than the other classmates, but he did not expect that her family background would be ¡®excellent¡¯ to this extent. He can only blame his limited imagination. He came here today with some ideas and determination, but now, he can¡¯t help but hesitate. Zhang Yansheng caught a glimpse of Zhang Zhiyuan, and she brought him a drink: ¡°Don¡¯t be restrained. There is food over there. Don¡¯t be hungry at my house.¡± He smiled at Yanyan and found that her eyebrows were shining and she seemed to be a little different from his memory. After all, in the past two years, the two of them have not had much contact. But in fact, in the past two years, when he walked through the crowd on the playground and corridor, he could always spot her at first sight and stared at her quietly. The look on Zhang Yansheng¡¯s eyebrows was so attractive, and Zhang Zhiyuan felt a rush of blood surging. He is a young man, so what is he afraid of?! Everyone will go their separate ways right away, so why should he leave regrets for himself?! ¡°Yansheng¡­¡± He finally plucked up the courage to speak, ¡°Can¡­¡± He wanted to ask if they could find a convenient space to talk. He came here today because he had something to say to her. But Zhang Yansheng¡¯s eyes suddenly lit up, her whole face lit up, but she¡¯s looking elsewhere. Zhang Zhiyuan was startled and followed her gaze. At the entrance, a tall young man had just come in, but he stopped there, looking for someone. As soon as that person stepped into this place, Wu Zhihua¡¯s aura became frivolous, and Zhang Zhiyuan¡¯s gentleness and elegance became sentimental. Zhang Yansheng greeted him. When the man saw her, there was a smile in his eyes, and his cold eyebrows became gentle. ¡°Sorry, I¡¯m late.¡± He said. ¡°It¡¯s okay.¡± Zhang Yansheng didn¡¯t care. She knew what arrangements he had today. He had to represent his parents to attend to something, so he couldn¡¯t get away with it. She took his hand: ¡°Say hello to my dad first.¡± Zhang Huan saw Yue Song when he came in. Yue Song and Xu Lichen had friendship with Zhang Yansheng, and they were all close friends, and Zhang Huan was also happy that she had contact with them. However, why is the young man surnamed Yue and Yanyan coming here holding hands??? ¡°Dad.¡± Zhang Yansheng said calmly, ¡°Yue Song is here. It¡¯s time to start this.¡± ¡°Uncle Zhang, it¡¯s been a long time since I saw you, you look very good.¡± Yue Song complimented him. I¡¯m very good, you, big head! Zhang Huan asked angrily: ¡°When did you two get together?¡± This person is so annoying. Zhang Yansheng raised her eyebrows and wanted to speak. Yue Song squeezed her hand and said respectfully to Zhang Huan: ¡°I¡¯m afraid that it will affect Yansheng¡¯s college entrance examination. We haven¡¯t had much contact, so we¡¯re just telling you now and didn¡¯t mean to hide it from you.¡± His tone and attitude are respectful, and Zhang Yansheng has indeed studied hard throughout her third year in high school, otherwise Zhang Huan would not have discovered that she had a boyfriend. Moreover, and more importantly, Zhang Yansheng stood there holding Yue Song¡¯s hand, and the relatives, family friends, and her friends around them all cast their eyes. Yue Song has a reserved temperament, a clear face, and a long-legged clothes-rack figure. He is also the back wave that Zhang Huan has always been very optimistic about¡­ Under the admiring gaze of friends and family, Zhang Huan raised his chin, and forgave the two children modestly and generously: ¡°Okay. Yanyan has a big temper, so you have to go easy on her more in the future.¡± Yue Song pursed his lips and smiled: ¡°That¡¯s for sure.¡± In the crowd, both Zhang Qi and Wu Zhihua, who is regarded as her boyfriend, were stunned: ¡°Isn¡¯t that Yue Song?¡± The two of them looked at each other and saw each other¡¯s surprise. ¡°Why did he get together with your cousin?¡± Wu Zhihua couldn¡¯t help asking. There was an unknown irritation in Zhang Qi¡¯s heart, so she said: ¡°How would I know?!¡± Wu Zhihua thought of something, and suddenly realized: ¡°Let me tell you something!¡± ¡°I saw him at school once before the holiday, dressed modestly. I was surprised¡­¡± He sneered, ¡°It turns out that he is relying on your fair, rich, and beautiful cousin.¡± When he said this, the nameless annoyance in Zhang Qi¡¯s heart suddenly dissipated a lot, and she felt a lot more comfortable. She frowned, pondered, and said, ¡°Tell me, do I have to talk to my cousin¡­¡± ¡°Of course, you have to.¡± Wu Zhihua has been dissatisfied with Yue Song for several years, so she urged Zhang Qi, ¡°How old is your cousin? She just graduated from high school. How can she know that some people are sinister? Yue Song was also shameless to fool such a rich little girl. Humph!¡± That¡¯s the truth. Zhang Qi thought and decided that she¡¯ll talk to her about it later. Zhang Huan was already standing on the stairs and raised his wine glass: ¡°Thank you all for coming today. As for Yanyan, everyone watched her grow up, from being so young to this old, and now she is already an adult and is going to college. It¡¯s a pity that her mother died early and she couldn¡¯t see her being admitted to the university¡­¡± As Zhang Huan was saying that, he shed several tears, and his voice choked: ¡°In short, Yanyan is fine now and had not let her mother down. I hope her spirit in the sky can be happier. Today, everyone came over to show their faces. Her mother and I are here to express our gratitude!¡± When he talked about his first wife affectionately, Liang Yingying, who was standing on the ground at the entrance of the stairs, had a dead mother¡¯s face, as if she was an air. Zhang Heling and Zhang Shuocheng stood next to Liang Yingying, and in front of Zhang Huan, both of them were older than the year when Zhang Yansheng¡¯s mother passed away. The people who came here today are all very close relatives, such as her granny and grandma¡¯s families. Who still doesn¡¯t know what¡¯s going on with Zhang Huan¡¯s family affairs? Some people are very subtle and some people twitch their mouths. However, everyone¡¯s attention was still attracted to Zhang Yansheng. Not only is this girl who has lost her mother now grown up into a fine lady, it was also because the young man standing holding hands with her was so attractive. Looking at the hands held together, and the position standing next to Zhang Huan, it goes without saying that you know what the relationship is between the two of them. Among the guests, there were also some of them who recognized Yue Song, who were surprised and nodded secretly, feeling that they were a perfect match. Zhao Lanfen quietly went over to find Zhang Qi and asked her, ¡°What does Yanyan¡¯s boyfriend¡¯s family do? Do you know?¡± Zhao Lanfen no longer remembered Yue Song, whom she had only met once. Although Yue Song is handsome, ladies like Zhao Lanfen often go in and out of the fashion circle, and she sees a lot of handsome men and beautiful women every day. Face is the least valuable thing in her opinion. Relying on the face to eat is even less valuable. Zhao Lanfen didn¡¯t care about the poor handsome guy Zhang Qi liked a little bit at the beginning, so she turned her head and forgot about it. But there is Wu Zhihua! Wu Zhihua hurriedly said, ¡°Auntie, have you forgotten him? You¡¯ve seen him before.¡± Zhao Lanfen was surprised. Wu Zhihua said: ¡°His name is Yue Song, a senior of our school, and he was the president of the student union. He went to your home to attend Qiqi¡¯s birthday party once before.¡± He also recalled some details for Zhao Lanfen¡¯s reference. Zhao Lanfen suddenly realized, and asked Zhang Qi: ¡°Is that the boy (whom I disagree with)?¡± Zhang Qi understood the omitted part of her mother¡¯s mouth, and nodded: ¡°It¡¯s him. Don¡¯t you remember him?¡± Zhao Lanfen said lightly: ¡°I¡¯ve been seeing so many people every day, how can I remember just anyone?¡± Wu Zhihua liked Zhao Lanfen¡¯s attitude and took the opportunity to ridicule: ¡°That¡¯s right, especially now that he has changed a lot. When he went to your house at that time, he was reluctant to call a taxi and walked by himself. He went out and took the bus. But look at him now, he has found a girlfriend, and now wearing an¡­ Armani?¡± Zhao Lanfen hated this kind of man who eats soft rice1¡®A man who eats soft rice¡¯ is a Chinese insult. When a man is told, or is spoken of, that ¡®he eats soft rice¡¯, it means that he relies on his wife or girlfriend to feed him. the most, and pulled down her face: ¡°Who is this person? He¡¯s got eyes on our family, huh? Since his moves didn¡¯t work on you, so he had to find your cousin instead?¡± She has become increasingly irritable in the past two years, and immediately said: ¡°No, I have to talk to your uncle!¡± Zhang Qi hurriedly grabbed her: ¡°Let¡¯s talk to Yanyan first, don¡¯t be so angry.¡± Zhao Lanfen also knew that it was inappropriate to do it on this occasion, so she suppressed her anger and said, ¡°Okay.¡± She said again: ¡°You are her elder sister, so you have to take care of your sister more! Look at her, don¡¯t let anyone fool her, grab her, and suck her blood!¡± Zhang Qi nodded: ¡°I know!¡± Zhao Lanfen went to have a drink. After a while, Zhang Yu left the others, went to her and asked, ¡°What¡¯s the matter? Who are you angry with?¡± His wife and him are now old, and his wife look grumpy now. His wife is now in menopause, her temper often bursts out at the slightest, and sometimes she doesn¡¯t regard the other people¡¯s faces on some occasion. Zhang Yu was a little worried, so he came over to ask. Zhao Lanfen sneered: ¡°Look at your younger brother. Yanyan¡¯s mother is gone. Has she become an orphan in the hands of her stepmother? And now, she found a boyfriend who eat soft rice and your brother doesn¡¯t care about it.¡± ¡°Eat soft rice?¡± Zhang Yu was surprised, looked back, then turned back, and asked with uncertainty, ¡°Are you talking about Yue Song?¡± ¡°I don¡¯t know his name. Oh, Zhihua mentioned it just now, it seems that his surname is Yue. Why? Do you know him?¡± Zhao Lanfen suddenly reacted. ¡°Where have you heard that he is man who eats soft rice?¡± Zhang Yu was speechless, ¡°Yue Song is the only grandson of Qingting¡¯s old chairman, Yue Qifeng, and the only heir of Qingting Group.¡± Zhao Lanfen was stunned. She couldn¡¯t believe it, so she asked, ¡°How do you know?¡± ¡°At the beginning of last month, Zhang Huan and I went to participate in the provincial taxation symposium together. The young man came to talk to Zhang Huan, introduced us to old man Yue, and had dinner together.¡± Zhang Yu thought it was funny, ¡°Who is talking about this nonsense in front of you?¡± Zhao Lanfen was completely stunned. Of course, she knows the Qingting Group. But a lady like her often goes in and out of the fashion circle, and she deals with other ladies and celebrities, not their husbands or fathers. Yue Song went in and out of business occasions, and seldom stepped into Zhao Lanfen¡¯s field. The two people have no intersection at all. Zhao Lanfen suddenly reacted, she should find Zhang Qi and tell her not to say anything to Zhang Yansheng. But when she turned her head to look for her, she found that Zhang Qi and Wu Zhihua had already gone over to Zhang Yansheng¡¯s side. Not only had they already spoken to Zhang Yansheng and Yue Song, but there was also a lot of noise. ¡­¡­Oh no! CH 135 As soon as Yue Song appeared, he attracted the attention of many people. If someone came to ask, Zhang Yansheng would openly introduce: ¡°This is my boyfriend, Yue Song.¡± Yue Song¡¯s response to people is like a breath of fresh air, and the elders do not dislike him. When it¡¯s time to introduce him to her classmates, they have been waiting for a long time! ¡°Zhang Yansheng, you didn¡¯t even tell us that you have a boyfriend!¡± ¡°You¡¯re too much!¡± ¡°What, you just graduated from college this year? Oh my God, so you were already a college student when you were dating!¡± In the eyes of high school students, it is already a cool thing to be able to associate with college students. At this time, Zhang Qi and Wu Zhihua came over. ¡°Senior Brother Yue.¡± She shouted, looked up, and asked, ¡°How did you meet my cousin?¡± ¡°We just happened to meet.¡± Yue Song nodded and said politely, ¡°You are here too.¡± Zhang Qi asked again. ¡°Then you are¡­¡± Yue Song said without hesitation: ¡°Yansheng is my girlfriend.¡± ¡°No wonder Senior Brother has a different taste in dressing now than before.¡± Wu Zhihua smiled and said, ¡°It turns out that you have made such a great girlfriend.¡± The high school students didn¡¯t understand what¡¯s going on, so they smiled along. They looked at Yue Song and found that his clothes were completely different from them. Although he is a recent college graduate of this year, he is completely dressed in an adult style. And¡­ he looks so handsome in a suit. His every gesture is like a noble son. However, Zhang Yansheng¡¯s family is so rich, so her boyfriend should also be rich. If you think so, Yue Song¡¯s extravagance is taken for granted. But Wu Zhihua didn¡¯t think so. He had seen Yue Song wearing the same plaid shirt they had purchased in a group with the whole dormitory. Although Yue Song in front of him is obviously wearing branded items from head to toe, Wu Zhihua has positioned him as a ¡®man who eat soft rice¡¯, and he must have spent Zhang Qi¡¯s cousin¡¯s money just to show off. He is a well-known rich second-generation in the school, while Yue Song is the school grass, so he is always compared with Yue Song. He has always lost and has been unconvinced for a long time. A trace of contempt flashed in his eyes, then he smiled and said, ¡°Qiqi¡¯s sister is now admitted to our K University. In the future, you will be a senior and a boyfriend. So, what now? Have you prepared any congratulatory gifts for your girlfriend?¡± He deliberately wanted to see Yue Song make a fool of himself. In such a mansion, for a daughter like Zhang Yansheng and Yue Song, who live off a woman, there is no way to come up with any ostentatious gifts, and it is shameful to just prepare anything. Zhang Qi couldn¡¯t bear it. She tugged at Wu Zhihua, and motioned him not to force Yue Song to make a fool of himself. Wu Zhihua is usually obedient to her, but this is a rare opportunity to embarrass Yue Song, so Wu Zhihua doesn¡¯t want to give up. He grabbed Zhang Qi¡¯s hand and exaggeratedly said: ¡°It¡¯s not that you didn¡¯t prepare anything, right?¡± By this time, the high school students finally realized that something was wrong. Zhang Yansheng¡¯s cousin¡¯s boyfriend seems to be a bit domineering, and he seems to be¡­ a bit hostile to Zhang Yansheng¡¯s boyfriend. Fortunately, Zhang Yansheng¡¯s boyfriend smiled and said, ¡°How could it be? Of course, I have prepared a gift as well.¡± He¡¯s been busy meeting the elders just now, and after meeting them and Zhang Yansheng¡¯s classmates, Yue Song originally wanted to give her a gift later, but Wu Zhihua was so aggressive that Yue Song took out his gift for Zhang Yansheng from the inner pocket of his suit. It¡¯s a small, flat box. ¡°For you.¡± Yue Song smiled and handed it to Zhang Yansheng. Zhang Yansheng also took it with a smile and opened it in front of everyone. Some of her classmates didn¡¯t recognize it and asked: ¡°What is¡­ that?¡± The other classmates said: ¡°A car key!¡± It is indeed a car key, Lamborghini. Wu Zhihua drove a Lamborghini himself, so of course, he recognized it at a glance. Zhang Yansheng¡¯s classmates were shocked: ¡°Really? He is¡­ giving you a car?¡± In the eyes of these high school students, buying a car is an adult¡¯s business, not to mention giving a car as a gift. Wu Zhihua didn¡¯t believe it even more, so he said with a sneer, ¡°It¡¯s not a lighter, is it?¡± When he said that, Zhang Yansheng¡¯s classmates were even more uncertain, because between giving a car and giving a lighter in the shape of a car key, they preferred the latter. Aren¡¯t there many videos of that kind on the internet? A large row of luxury car keys, but in fact, all of them are just lighters. However, being in such a mansion, they felt¡­ as if¡­ At this moment, someone suddenly raised his voice and said, ¡°Yes, it must be a lighter, how could it be a real car key?! A Lamborghini costs five or six million, so it¡¯s impossible! That¡¯s a fake! Fake!¡± The speaker¡¯s tone was so exaggerated that Zhang Yansheng almost rolled her eyes, because that person was not someone else, but Xu Lichen, who was afraid that the world would not be chaotic enough. Xu Lichen didn¡¯t know the students in Zhang Yansheng¡¯s class well, so he didn¡¯t come there at first. Zhang Yansheng also doesn¡¯t know when he came over. Zhang Heling and Zhang Shuocheng both followed him as well. He also had a plate in his hand with half a cake on it and had some cream on the corner of his mouth. He didn¡¯t pay attention to this side at first, he was eating the cake, and suddenly heard Zhang Heling say, ¡°Why did Sister Qiqi go there?¡± Zhang Shuocheng snorted and said, ¡°It must be nothing good, she must have to say something unpleasant again!¡± Xu Lichen¡¯s lively radar stood up unexpectedly! It came over with the radio waves! Of course, Wu Zhihua didn¡¯t know Xu Lichen. First reason is that Xu Lichen is still young and hasn¡¯t come out to mix in the circles much. The second reason is that Wu Zhihua¡®s family business is Luo Ming Electronics, which is not located in K City. So, he is not a local. Although Wu Zhihua thinks that the tone of this person¡¯s speech is a bit too pompous, looking at his age, he should be a classmate of today¡¯s heroine. He doesn¡¯t know why, but he also feels that this boy looks familiar, as if he has seen him somewhere before, but of course Wu Zhihua is happy to have someone to support him. This person¡¯s words seemed to make Yue Song very shameless and he couldn¡¯t get off the stage, so he laughed. Xu Lichen hasn¡¯t had enough. He is a man who is not afraid to watch a play on a high platform. Putting the cake plate into Zhang Heling¡¯s hand, he pushed aside the two classmates of Zhang Yansheng and leaned forward: ¡°Let me see, let me see.¡± As he said that, he took the car key from Zhang Yansheng¡¯s hand, he looked at it over and over again, and said, ¡°This is a great workmanship¡­ but it¡¯s kind of a bit rough. Hey, the quality is not very good, can it make a fire? Hey you, try it!¡± With that said, in a parabola, he threw the key over. Wu Zhihua quickly stretched out his hand to catch it, subconsciously held it by holding the lighter, and used his thumb to ¡®ignite¡¯ it. Of course, it can¡¯t be pressed! If he could use a real car key to make a fire, Xu Lichen would cut off his head and give it to him! As a result, he only hurt his thumb. Wu Zhihua was a little confused. He took a closer look and found that it was really a car key. And this quality, not only is it not ¡®a bit rough¡¯ as Xu Lichen said, but on the contrary¡­ Wu Zhihua drove a Lamborghini by himself. He felt that this should be a key to a real Lamborghini. Instead of the kind of fake key used as an accessory which you can buy at X Treasure. Couldn¡¯t it be that¡­ While hesitating, Xu Lichen stuck to his ear and whispered: ¡°Did he just use a key to show off and there¡¯s really no car at all?¡± Wu Zhihua was enlightened, yes, this is also very possible! He still remembers when Yue Song attended Zhang Qi¡¯s birthday party back then. He was obviously going to take the bus, but he told them with a blank face that he had called a taxi! This person has always been a show-off! ¡°It seems that it is really not a lighter.¡± Wu Zhihua said loudly, ¡°So what about the car? Where is it? Let us also see it too!¡± Zhang Qi was about to be mad at him. Because even Zhang Yansheng¡¯s classmates could see that something was wrong, Zhang Yansheng¡¯s cousin¡¯s boyfriend didn¡¯t seem to believe that Zhang Yansheng¡¯s boyfriend actually gave Zhang Yansheng a car, and aggressively wanted to prove the authenticity on the spot. The classmates did not have a preconceived impression of Yue Song, but from the beginning, they saw Yue Song as a son of a noble. They didn¡¯t know what kind of dark history Yue Song had in the past, but they had been shocked by the Zhang family¡¯s mansion when they came there. In this environment, they felt like a child of a noble just like Yue Song. There doesn¡¯t seem to be any sense of contradiction when it comes to handing out a car as a gift. It¡¯s like a movie plot! So exciting, so romantic! On the contrary, this cousin¡¯s boyfriend gave people a kind of mentally retarded feeling when speaking. The loud voices on their side attracted the adults. Zhang Huan came over and asked, ¡°What is going on?¡± Zhang Heling said loudly, ¡°Dad, Big Brother Yue gave a car to my sister as a gift!¡± Zhang Heling actually didn¡¯t quite understand why Wu Zhihua was competing in this matter. If big brother Yue said that he is giving her sister a car, he would give her sister a car. Why should he talk strangely? However, the matter of delivering the car¡­ Zhang Huan was taken aback when he heard it, and then his complexion became bad, so he asked Yue Song, ¡°Did you really give Yanyan a car?¡± ¡°Yes.¡± Yue Song said, ¡°Yanyan has a driver¡¯s license now, so it will be convenient for her to drive by herself in the future.¡± Xu Lichen leaned over and said shamelessly: ¡°I also have a driver¡¯s¡­¡± Zhang Huan pushed his big face away: ¡°What kind of car?¡± ¡°Lamborghini.¡± Yue Song told him the model number as well. Wu Zhihua froze and blurted out: ¡°The one that was just released and costs 6 million yuan?¡± He himself is a fan of Lamborghini and is very concerned about this information. Yue Song glanced at him and said, ¡°It¡¯s the top model that costs 9.2 million yuan.¡± Zhang Yansheng¡¯s high school classmates were stunned. Everyone sweats on their foreheads slightly ¡ª the people in the Zhang Yansheng¡¯s family are all in the unit of millions. ¡°Where is the car?¡± Xu Lichen deliberately made things big, winked at Wu Zhihua, and said, ¡°We won¡¯t believe it if we don¡¯t see the real thing!¡± Wu Zhihua already had a faint feeling of being out of control, but he was always unwilling to believe it. He was encouraged by Xu Lichen and gritted his teeth: ¡°You didn¡¯t just say a few thousand-yuan car, so where is it? Let¡¯s have a look.¡± Zhang Qi also had a very bad feeling. Since Wu Zhihua didn¡¯t listen to her dissuasion, things seemed to be a bit out of control. She hurriedly came out to mediate: ¡°Forget it, what¡¯s so interesting about it. Everyone must be hungry, right? Let¡¯s go there to eat.¡± This matter already went up to this level, so who would want to eat now? Even the simplest high school students want to see and know what will happen to this gossip until the end. Zhang Qi said to Zhang Yansheng: ¡°Yanyan, come on, let your classmates go over there to eat. What¡¯s so nice about the car.¡± Everyone looked at Zhang Yansheng and she smiled faintly: ¡°Everyone wants to see it, so let¡¯s go. I want to see it too.¡± As she said that, she stretched out her hand to Wu Zhihua. He was taken aback before he reacted. The car key was still in his hand, so he hurriedly returned it to Zhang Yansheng. The movement on their side was a bit loud, and it disturbed the surrounding guests. Everyone whispered: ¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡± ¡°He said he gave her a car and they all wanted to see it.¡± ¡°Oh, what kind of car, let¡¯s go and have a look too.¡± When Zhao Lanfen wanted to come over to stop Zhang Qi and Wu Zhihua, it was already late. Not only these young people, but also some guests who heard the movement also followed out to see the car. Zhang Yansheng said to Yue Song: ¡°Let me say some ugly words first. I won¡¯t accept anything that doesn¡¯t suit me.¡± Yue Song smiled and held her hand: ¡°Then change it to another one until you like it.¡± Oh, my mother! Zhang Huan and Xu Lichen had goose bumps all over the place at the same time! Only Zhang Heling cupped her face: It was so sweet¡­ Zhang Shuocheng looked excited and just wanted to see the car. Because it was to be given as a gift, Yue Song parked it directly under the steps of the gate porch when he arrived. Originally, he intended to quietly call Zhang Yansheng out and give it to her quietly. There is also a bouquet of roses he prepared at the co-pilot seat. Everyone held their breath and looked at the car that was said to be worth 9.2 million yuan. The car¡¯s body has a black paint and its contours are full of futuristic touch. The tires and its base seemed to be attached to the ground. The beauty of power and speed is breathtaking. Zhang Yansheng raised her hand and pressed the car key. The pitch-black scissor door rose silently. The cold metal ignited the blood of a group of young people. CH 136 Zhang Huan is very dissatisfied! ¡°She is a girl, so why black? You should have chosen a brighter color.¡± He argued. Yue Song looked at Zhang Yansheng. Zhang Yansheng responded directly: ¡°I like black.¡± Even Zhang Heling said, ¡°Black is the best match for my sister!¡± Yue Song smiled slightly: ¡°So, are you taking the car?¡± Zhang Yansheng pursed her lips and smiled: ¡°I¡¯ll take it.¡± Zhang Shuocheng¡¯s buttocks and waist twisted like clockwork: ¡°Sister! Sister!¡± Zhang Yansheng was speechless and said, ¡°Okay, go ahead.¡± Zhang Shuocheng rushed out, got down the steps, and got into the car. After the classmates made bursts of air-conditioning sounds, they watched Zhang Shuocheng go down to check the car, and they also surrounded it. ¡°It¡¯s so beautiful!¡± ¡°My God, this car is so cool!¡± ¡°Little brother, let this big brother try it too, okay?¡± The guests who stayed on the steps also admired it one after another, and many people knew this model. However, some people took out their cellphones and searched for it, found the price, and spoke about it, which aroused admiration. They asked one after another: ¡°What does Yanyan¡¯s boyfriend¡¯s family do?¡± ¡°Hey, everyone knows it is the Qingting.¡± Zhang Huan said reservedly, ¡°Xiao Yue is the grandson of Chairman Yue from Qingting Group.¡± So that¡¯s the case, no wonder he can easily give out a 9-million-yuan luxury car. The richest man in the province. It¡¯s just that the Yue family keeps a low profile. Chairman Yue rarely makes public appearances in the media, and the rest of the family members are even more low-key. So, everyone only hears the name, but had not seen the person. Wu Zhihua was completely stunned. Zhao Lanfen, who came out afterwards, felt that the back of her neck was getting hotter ¡ª the hot flashes of her menopause were all coming up! And Zhang Qi, she felt dizzy¡­ Zhang Huan took advantage of everyone¡¯s attention to Yue Song, and quietly grabbed Zhang Heling: ¡°Hurry up! Go to the garage and tell them not to drive the car out! Tell them it¡¯s canceled! Cancel it! Don¡¯t let them show those firecrackers and balloons! Hurry up!¡± Zhang Heling knew that Yue Song had given a car to her sister just now, so she knew this is not good! It¡¯s a similar gift! The gift Zhang Huan prepared is also a car! Moreover, Zhang Huan also specially prepared a gift-giving session! A lot of balloons have been prepared. As soon as the garage door opens, those balloons will fly out! This is a well-designed plan! Zhang Heling is very tall now and no longer has the short legs of the past. She is now tall and long-legged. She accepted the order in times of crisis, so she quickly disappeared as she ran away. Zhang Huan really felt very aggrieved! He specially prepared a bright red Ferrari sports car for his daughter worth 6 million yuan! It is twice as expensive as Liang Yingying¡¯s car. It is also more expensive than the car his eldest brother bought for his niece, Zhang Qi. In this way, it can make both Yanyan and him happy, how nice! Who knows that this stinky kid, Yue Song, would give her a car too! He also delivered the car there! He also gave her a more expensive car than what he prepared! The winner already asked to see the car, so how can Zhang Huan take out the car he prepared?! Annoying! He wants to swear, but he still has to keep an awkward and polite smile on his face! Zhang Huan approached Yue Song: ¡°Xiao Yue, let¡¯s go, there are still several elders whom you haven¡¯t met yet.¡± ¡°Go.¡± Zhang Yansheng said, ¡°I¡¯ll accompany you.¡± She gave Xu Lichen the key: ¡°You can play with them.¡± Then, she followed Zhang Huan in. Yue Song walked behind her, glanced at Wu Zhihua, held Xu Lichen¡¯s shoulders, and his lips moved slightly near his ears: ¡°Go for the kill¡­¡± The corners of Xu Lichen¡¯s mouth curled obliquely, revealing a villain-style evil smile: ¡°Leave it to me.¡± Yue Song pressed his shoulder firmly and went inside. Xu Lichen leaned over to Wu Zhihua, who was still in a daze, put his arms around his neck very familiarly, and said, ¡°Hey, I really didn¡¯t expect that he would be so generous and give away a 9-million-yuan worth car. He could have just given a car that cost about 5 million or 6 million yuan, but this one is a bit expensive. Hey, how much is the car you gave to your girlfriend?¡± Wu Zhihua got up unnaturally: ¡°Why should I give her a car?¡± Xu Lichen said, ¡°You give one when there¡¯s something to celebrate, like for birthdays or something. Isn¡¯t it worth giving a car away?¡± If Wu Zhihua wants to give one, he can also afford it. However, he definitely can¡¯t afford to send a 9-million-yuan worth car. This price is also too expensive for him. But Zhang Qi¡¯s cousin¡¯s boyfriend is such an outstanding person, and in the future, he will not be able to give it even if he wants to give a car, unless he gives a more expensive one than Yue Song¡¯s! Xu Lichen continued: ¡°By the way, are you the boyfriend of this sister? Big Sister is Yansheng¡¯s cousin, right? Then it will be really difficult for you to do it in the future. What is the name of your relationship with Yue Song? Cousin-in-law, right? In the future, her cousin-in-law will be the heir of Qingting Group. He can crush his cousin-in-law with whatever he gives, tsk tsk tsk. But there is really no way for you. He is the only grandson and the only heir, so the entire Qingting Group will belong to him in the future. By the way, I just heard an aunt introduce you and listened to it. You don¡¯t seem to be an only child. Do you have an older brother or younger siblings? If you are not an only child, can you inherit your family¡¯s business in the future? Hey, it¡¯s either the only child or it¡¯s not good. It looks pretty glamorous. It¡¯s really incomparable to the heir of the family¡­¡± Wu Zhihua¡¯s face flushed. ¡°Don¡¯t talk nonsense!¡± Zhang Qi suddenly spoke with her pink face full of anger, ¡°What cousin-in-law are you talking about, we are just classmates!¡± After she finished speaking, she turned around and left. Wu Zhihua would already understand that Xu Lichen has bad intentions, but he didn¡¯t have time to care about him. He threw off his arm and hurriedly chased down the steps: ¡°Qiqi! Qiqi!¡± Xu Lichen stood on the steps, crossed his arms, and smiled. The sky is against the ground, the rain is against the wind. The mainland is facing the sky. Why is it right to kill? Of course, to put a bad person to death. He walked down and raised the key, and said to the excited classmates, ¡°I have the key. Do you want to drive a few laps?¡± Classmates: ¡°Yes!¡± ¡°Girls will take the seat first!¡± ¡°Wait a minute, Xu Lichen, do you have a driver¡¯s license?¡± ¡°You can drive, but don¡¯t rub it on others or anything.¡± Xu Lichen: ¡°Don¡¯t worry, although I just got my driver¡¯s license recently, I have learned how to drive since middle school.¡± Only one person can be taken to sit at a time, first Zhang Shuocheng, then the girls, and finally the boys. Only Zhang Zhiyuan didn¡¯t go to join in the fun. From beginning to end, he stood under the porch and watched what happened quietly. Zhang Huan disappeared for a while, and when he reappeared, someone joked with him: ¡°Her boyfriend gave her almost 10-million-yuan worth car. How about you as a father? What did you prepare for Yanyan? Take it out and show it to us.¡± Zhang Huan thought to himself, fortunately, he was clever enough to prepare just now. He laughed ¡°haha¡±, and took out something from the inner pocket of his suit for Zhang Yansheng ¡ª a check. Everyone finds it boring. Checks are generally used by the elders from generation to generation. Because the elders of the next generation are usually not so familiar with the preferences of the juniors, and because there are so many juniors, preparing gifts is a troublesome matter, and it is easy to simply send a check. But when her father gave her the check, he didn¡¯t seem to be so sincere. Some people also heckled: ¡°Yanyan, look at how much he gave you, less than 9.2 million yuan will not work!¡± Everyone laughed. Zhang Yansheng twitched the corners of her mouth, opened the check, and told everyone: ¡°Ten million yuan.¡± ¡°It¡¯s okay, it¡¯s okay.¡± Everyone laughed again, ¡°He almost lost.¡± Zhang Huan gritted his teeth with anger. Originally, he designed a particularly good gift-giving plan! When everyone is almost done eating and drinking, he will lead everyone outside to admire the gift he carefully selected for his daughter ¡ª as soon as the garage door opens, a bunch of balloons will fly out, and then the red Ferrari sports car will slowly drive out and stop at the foot of the porch steps. Then he will personally hand the key to his daughter, shed tears and say, ¡°You have really grown up now, I really hope your mother can see it too.¡± A peerless father was created! D*mn, it¡¯s all messed up by Yue Song! Zhang Huan¡¯s teeth were tickled with hatred and felt that Yue Song was not pleasing to his eyes. But his mother and aunt both smiled at Yue Song and Yanyan, and they seemed to like him very much. Zhang Huan was with them, and he could only smile with them, so how could he dare to express dissatisfaction. After a while, he got out there and talked to his elder brother again. Zhang Huan looked around and asked, ¡°Where are sister-in-law and Qiqi? I don¡¯t see them anymore.¡± Zhang Yu gave a ¡°cough¡± and said embarrassedly: ¡°Your sister-in-law is not feeling well, so Qiqi accompanied her back first.¡± Seeing the embarrassment on his brother¡¯s face, Zhang Huan felt relieved. What is she uncomfortable with? She must be uncomfortable in her heart. Yanyan¡¯s boyfriend stabilized Qiqi¡¯s boyfriend, can she still be comfortable? The youngest son of the family from Luo Ming Electronics compared with the Qingting Group¡¯s only heir, tsk tsk tsk! Zhang Huan looked at Yue Song and suddenly felt that he¡¯s pleasing to the eye again. ¡­¡­ It is another school season. Zhang Shuocheng has been promoted to the fifth grade, and his height is soaring. He was half a head taller than other children, and he basically looked like a child from behind. Zhang Heling was promoted to middle school and became a beautiful girl with a slim figure. She always behaves very coldly outside, a very royal sister,1Óù½ã ¨C royal sister ¨C refers to the mature young female type in appearance, body, personality and temperament. and attracts many boys who pursue her in school. Xu Lichen went to H City and started his studies. Zhang Yansheng drove her car and went to K University. Zhang Yansheng didn¡¯t want to keep a low profile this time. The low-key attitude at the beginning of her rebirth is a kind of reform, and it is also because the world of high school students is too simple, and there is no need to let those miscellaneous factors affect the only major task ¡ª learning. But after three years, Zhang Yansheng no longer has the mentality of repenting and reforming, wanting to bow her head, and share the dust with the light. She has also experienced college life a long time ago. Although it is a pheasant university with a poor school ethos, she had also learned that the university campus has become a small society on its own, which has people of all kinds. Zhang Yansheng¡¯s life has come here and she can¡¯t keep a low profile anymore. The school club recruited new members and she joined the student union. The previous president is now a senior student and has stepped down, and the new president is a junior year student. The important cadres are also senior elder sisters of the junior year. When the newcomers had a meeting, Zhang Yansheng was among the freshman girls, regardless of their appearance, temperament or clothing, they were so dazzling that they attracted the frequent gaze of the seniors. One of these seniors is the boyfriend of another senior sister, and this can¡¯t help but make the senior sister look at each other with glaring eyes. After the meeting was over, Zhang Yansheng put on her bag and walked out with her classmates ¡ª she didn¡¯t stay in the dormitory, so she drove around to study like Zhang Qi, but someone stopped her outside the building. Looking back, it was the junior year senior sister who was present in the meeting who called her. Zhang Yansheng is a new member, so she still didn¡¯t know the relationship between people in the student union, let alone the senior brother who had been paying attention to her just now was the boyfriend of this senior sister. But she could see that the senior sister had prestige in her eyebrows and two people with her, and it seemed that they were not good. ¡°Is there something wrong?¡± She asked. ¡°Zhang Yansheng, right?¡± The senior sister said, ¡°My name is Ma Yun, I am a junior student, and the head of external relations of our student union.¡± ¡°I know.¡± Zhang Yansheng said, ¡°You introduced yourself in the meeting just now.¡± Ma Yun glanced at her up and down, and said, ¡°Well, our student union has a default rule and that is we don¡¯t wear fakes and we don¡¯t buy fakes. For bags and clothes, you would rather buy ordinary brands or even unbranded ones than fakes.¡± Zhang Yansheng: ¡°Oh.¡± ¡°¡­¡± Ma Yun originally came to say this because she saw Zhang Yansheng¡¯s bag. She felt that Zhang Yansheng¡¯s reaction was too calm, she was dissatisfied and said, ¡°So you have to pay attention.¡± Zhang Yansheng raised her eyebrows: ¡°What does it have to do with me? I don¡¯t use fakes.¡± Ma Yun didn¡¯t react for a while, then said, ¡°Your bag¡­¡± But another senior sister reacted, grabbed Ma Yun, and asked Zhang Yansheng, ¡°Your bag looks good, where did you buy it?¡± Zhang Yansheng replied, ¡°Hongbao Square.¡± Everyone was silent for a moment. The shopping mall of Hongbao Square is full of specialty stores one by one. Some stores also limit the customer flow, and when there are too many people, they have to line up outside the door. It¡¯s a place where there are more sales ladies than customers. So, Zhang Yansheng¡¯s bag is¡­ genuine. She was really reckless just now, she just thought it was unlikely that freshmen would carry the real goods. But now, as she looked closely¡­ This freshman girl is very delicate from head to toe. The bag is also very exquisite, indeed¡­ The new school girl raised her eyebrows and said: ¡°Of course, I do not support piracy. But as far as the national conditions of our country are concerned, it is enough to make a demand only to yourself. If you demand something from others, Senior Sister, you have to be too lenient. After all, this is just the school¡¯s student union, where the per capita living expenses are 1,500 yuan. It is not a lady¡¯s club. There is no need to be so demanding on the students.¡± ¡°Yes, that¡¯s right.¡± The other freshmen also agreed. It is inevitable that some of them have imitations of famous brands, and they were all dumbfounded when Ma Yun said it just now. What Zhang Yansheng said is the truth. Just mind your own business, and do not mind the others business. Ma Yun¡¯s face was not very good: ¡°How could you speak like that?¡± ¡°I speak very well.¡± Zhang Yansheng¡¯s eyebrows have never fallen, ¡°I didn¡¯t curse or swear. I just told you that the cadres of the student union should do the work of the student union and that¡¯s it. The life and consumption of other students are not under your jurisdiction. Senior Sister, please take care of yourself first.¡± After she finished speaking, she turned around and left. The freshman girls looked at the unsatisfactory faces of the senior sisters, didn¡¯t dare to say a word, and slipped away. Ma Yun was trembling with anger. That¡¯s how hatred was born. CH 137 Enchantress12-15 minutes 18.04.2022 Ma Yun had a big fight with her boyfriend. Her boyfriend swore to God that he didn¡¯t stare at the freshman girl during the meeting, but Ma Yun believed in her eyes more. During the previous meeting, her boyfriend stared at Zhang Yansheng and his eyes were almost straight. But Zhang Yansheng is so difficult to deal with, the first-year student didn¡¯t listen to the senior sister¡¯s words, and even dared to refute it. It made her so angry. At noon in the cafeteria, she caught senior sister Zhang, who was a senior student, and spit out her bitterness: ¡°When we first came in in our freshman year, you told us not to wear and buy fake products. We all listened to it. Well now, for the freshmen members, I think I¡¯m too lenient.¡± Senior sister Zhang asked: ¡°She¡¯s carrying a fake?¡± Ma Yun choked and said, ¡°It doesn¡¯t look like a fake¡­¡± Senior sister Zhang asked: ¡°Then why do you care about others?¡± Ma Yun was aggrieved: ¡°Isn¡¯t that the rule you set?¡± The problem is that senior sister Zhang doesn¡¯t like others to carry fakes and wear fakes. If anyone dares to do this in front of her and refuses to listen to advice, she can buy a real product of the same style the next day and directly scorn the other party. Gradually, the girls in the student union have developed the default rule of not wearing and buying fake products. But now that senior sister Zhang has withdrawn from the student union, none of the existing girls in third year have the ability to deter others in this way. Ma Yun said blankly that she would not wear and buy any fake products, but the new girl members in first year who lived on only 2,000 yuan a month would not do it. Ma Yun said, ¡°Otherwise, it would be too reasonable if you talk to them about it.¡± Senior sister Zhang used to be the head of external relations, and she executed her will on her own territory for her own good. Ma Yun is a new official taking the office and she can¡¯t hold back the newcomers, so she wants to pull her out to take advantage of it. She has quit the student union now, so how could she support Ma Yun when she is so busy? She gave a fake smile and evaded: ¡°It¡¯s up to you now to take care of things. How can I stretch my hand out blindly?¡± She was unable to lend her strength, so Ma Yun left unhappily. Senior sister Zhang went to buy a drink after lunch and met Zhang Yansheng. Zhang Yansheng greeted her first: ¡°Sister Qiqi.¡± Senior Sister Zhang is Zhang Qi. She asked Zhang Yansheng, ¡°How is it going? Are you used to it now?¡± Zhang Yansheng said, ¡°It¡¯s okay.¡± Zhang Qi asked, ¡°Have you joined any club?¡± ¡°I joined the student union.¡± Zhang Yansheng said, ¡°The Outreach Department.¡± Zhang Qi raised her chin: ¡°I am familiar with the Outreach Department. There are a few girls who are not very good and like to bully the lower grades. Just mention me if something happened.¡± Zhang Yansheng didn¡¯t care: ¡°It¡¯s okay, I can solve it by myself.¡± Zhang Qi said, ¡°Okay, anyway, you are not someone who can be bullied.¡± There are naturally disputes at home, but when they are outside, they are all surnamed Zhang. Ma Yun¡¯s boyfriend bought her flowers and took her out to dinner, so the two reconciled. But Ma Yun¡¯s heart was blocked by Zhang Yansheng and still couldn¡¯t let it go. Soon, the student union held an event, and with a job, Ma Yun felt that Zhang Yansheng, a newcomer, had to be given a boost, and it was best to force her out of the student union. Otherwise, if there are such thorny newcomers in the student union, who would listen to the words of these seniors? A junior year girl who has a good relationship with her said to her: ¡°Don¡¯t worry about her. I heard that Zhang Yansheng¡¯s family is very rich. It seems that she has more money than Senior Sister Zhang Qi. I can say this because she¡¯s driving a car worth 10 million yuan.¡± Ma Yun sneered: ¡°Who did you listen to? Do you believe that too?¡± The girl said: ¡°A freshman in our department said that. She said that a classmate in their class is from the same high school as Zhang Yansheng.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t listen to them talking nonsense!¡± Ma Yun Xiao Ma, ¡°Senior Sister Zhang Qi is so rich and it¡¯s not easy to run into another one. How can there be so many rich people in the world? Have they all come to our school? I don¡¯t believe this kind of nonsense.¡± Everyone was busy all evening that day, and finally they had almost done their assigned work. Ma Yun threw a stack of materials in front of Zhang Yansheng: ¡°You do this.¡± Zhang Yansheng picked it up and flipped it over, then said, ¡°This is not a job assigned to me.¡± Ma Yun raised her eyebrows: ¡°I am assigning it to you now.¡± When the upper-grade students have a tough attitude, the lower-grade students tend to be soft, and most will try their best to avoid facing it head-on. What Ma Yun wanted was also very simple, that is, to persuade Zhang Yansheng to be soft. She just needs to be soft. As soon as the thorniest one in a group is softened, the others are easy to manage. Therefore, Ma Yun deliberately behaved very strongly, just to suppress Zhang Yansheng¡¯s momentum. It¡¯s a pity that Zhang Yansheng doesn¡¯t allow herself to be pushed around. She threw the materials directly back in front of Ma Yun: ¡°Your own business, please do it yourself.¡± Ma Yun didn¡¯t expect her to be so tough, she stuck her neck and said, ¡°I have other things to do.¡± Zhang Yansheng said: ¡°When the tasks were assigned in the meeting earlier, I did not hear that the president assigned you other tasks. The tasks of our department are allocated to everyone, and there are so many tasks for us. I don¡¯t know what else you have. If you have something to do, you should have made it clear to the president from the beginning, so that he won¡¯t assign any tasks to you. Now that you have accepted the assigned tasks, you should do it well. If you need help with something temporarily, please speak politely, don¡¯t be condescending, and frown coldly. No one owes you anything.¡± Ma Yun exploded, ¡°What kind of attitude is that? How do you talk like that? Do you know who I am? I¡¯m a department head! You are a newcomer, so why are you talking to a department head like that?! What task the department head assigned to you is a task that you should do, I have never seen anyone act like that! You are already an adult, so why don¡¯t you understand anything?¡± During the period when Zhang Yansheng joined the student union, she had already noticed that there was a strong social class flavor in the student union. Previously, there was a freshman newcomer who tagged the president in a post in the WeChat group, but a department head jumped out to criticize him, saying: ¡°Why are you tagging the president? What qualifications do you have to tag the president directly? What is it that you can¡¯t report to your department head first?!¡± Zhang Yansheng was extremely speechless at the time, but it had nothing to do with her and she had something else to do, so she didn¡¯t care. Unexpectedly, so quickly, this big stick of social class policy would be swung over her head. Sure enough, silence in the sight of others suffering results in this way. However, Zhang Yansheng didn¡¯t intend to be silent anymore. ¡°I am a newcomer and you are a senior. If we remove the newcomer and senior, then you and I are both human beings, we¡¯re the same.¡± She said, ¡°It¡¯s right that you are a department head. Because you have a higher grade than us and older qualifications than us, so you are much more qualified to take the lead or assign jobs to everyone. But they must all be within a reasonable range. With all due respect, you are now beyond this scope. You are now playing a game of privilege and official¡¯s prestige.¡± ¡°Do you think that because you are a department head and you are a big official in the student union, then you are qualified to play official¡¯s prestige? This is really ridiculous. If you look in the mirror, you will know that in the eyes of real adults, you are just a child.¡± ¡°The department head of the student union is just a position of the student union in the school, and not any official. If you want to play official¡¯s prestige, first figure out what is the definition of an official, okay? You first have to have the status of a civil servant, you have to have a formal establishment, and you have to have a level recognized by the state to be a real official. Officials like that may not dare to play official¡¯s prestige. You are just a student, pretending to be an adult and shaking your prestige. It¡¯s really ridiculous, do you know that?¡± Zhang Yansheng concluded: ¡°You look like an old lady in her 50s and 60s.¡± Ma Yun has never seen such a strong newcomer. She thought that when they were first recruited in their freshman year, senior sister Zhang Qi crushed them to death. Who would dare to speak up? Everyone knows that senior sister Zhang Qi is a very rich daughter, and they all flatter her. Facing a freshman newcomer who didn¡¯t beat around the bush at all and just came up, she was unprepared and speechless: ¡°You, you!¡± Zhang Yansheng put her bag on her back and said, ¡°I have finished my work, so I¡¯m going first.¡± When someone saw the situation, they hurriedly packed their things, put their bags on their backs and said, ¡°I¡¯m done with mine too.¡± Slip away! Several of them walked away. They went out to catch up with Zhang Yansheng: ¡°You really dare to speak. I think the senior sisters are very fierce, so we are all afraid to speak out.¡± Zhang Yansheng said, ¡°There is nothing to be afraid of. They are all students of the same school, and no one is more noble than anyone else.¡± The girls scratched their heads and said, ¡°That¡¯s right! We were actually scared by them.¡± Ma Yun stroked her chest and took a few breaths, rubbing the fire as she thought more about it. Especially the few people left in the room who looked at her wrongly. If she didn¡¯t get her face back today, how could she be the proud department head in the future? ¡°This Zhang Yansheng is too much!¡± She slapped the table with anger, ¡°No way! I have to go and tell her again that she can¡¯t be like that! And make her understand!¡± As she said that, she turned around and chased her down. The remaining people in the room looked at each other, feeling that something was going to happen, and hurriedly threw down their things and chased them down too: ¡°Ma Yun! Ma Yun!¡± The office of the student union was in a small building at the entrance of the school. Ma Yun went out and only saw the two freshman girls who had slipped out just now. She chased them and asked, ¡°Where is Zhang Yansheng?¡± One of the girls said, ¡°She is a day student and just went out.¡± As she said that, she stretched out her hand and pointed to the school gate. Ma Yun chased her at the school gate. The girls who followed her out from the office of the student union chased after her. The two freshman girls looked at each other, their gossiping souls ignited, and followed to watch the excitement. Ma Yun chased towards the school gate aggressively, and soon saw Zhang Yansheng¡¯s figure, she was walking towards the side of the road. She hurried to catch up and saw Zhang Yansheng taking something out of her clothes pocket. She shouted: ¡°Zhang Yansheng!¡± Zhang Yansheng took out the car key and heard someone call her name. She pressed the button and looked back at the same time. The car received the remote-control radio waves from the key, the lights flashed, and the scissor door stood up. It was already dark, and the lights flashed suddenly, shaking Ma Yun¡¯s eyes. She squeezed her eyes and opened them again, and saw Zhang Yansheng standing there with a cold expression, carrying her bag in one hand and putting her other hand in her pocket. She has very long hair, exquisite clothes, and an expensive bag. Behind her is a black sports car with scissor doors standing up. This picture looks like a model is shooting the cover of a fashion magazine. Ma Yun suddenly lost her voice. After a pause, she heard Zhang Yansheng¡¯s voice asking, ¡°Is there anything else?¡± She regained her senses and stubbornly asked, ¡°You, this car, is it yours?¡± Zhang Yansheng said, ¡°Yes. Is there anything else you want to talk to me about?¡± Ma Yun asked, ¡°Yes, did your family buy it?¡± Zhang Yansheng said, ¡°No, it was from my boyfriend. Anything else?¡± Ma Yun was silent for a while and said, ¡°No, I just saw you and called out casually.¡± CH 138 Enchantress12-15 minutes 19.04.2022 Zhang Yansheng is particularly tired of the bureaucracy in the student union. She didn¡¯t expect it to be like this before entering K University. In the pheasant university in her last life, she had never dealt with people from the student union. She met Zhang Qi at school and asked her, ¡°Has it always been like this?¡± Actually, it was not. In fact, it was not before Yue Song left the student union. Although the student union atmosphere will become like this, the main reason is not Zhang Qi. But at that time, Zhang Qi felt that it would be helpful to the younger sisters and brothers, so she also contributed to it. She said in the tone of someone who has been there before: ¡°It¡¯s not just the student union, it¡¯s actually like this everywhere. It¡¯s not that you haven¡¯t been to the company for an internship.¡± ¡°But those in the company are already members of the society.¡± Zhang Yansheng said, ¡°I didn¡¯t expect a place like school to also be so greasy.¡± ¡°Sooner or later, you will have to enter the society, so just get used to it.¡± Zhang Qi asked, ¡°Will you go to the forum on Thursday?¡± Zhang Yansheng didn¡¯t know: ¡°What forum?¡± ¡°Just the one grandma¡­¡± Zhang Qi asked back, ¡°Didn¡¯t grandma tell you?¡± ¡°No.¡± Zhang Yansheng said, ¡°Let me ask grandma.¡± Zhang Yansheng called the old lady. The old lady said, ¡°Aren¡¯t you going to class? Qiqi has few classes now, and I will take her with her when I have time. You are only a freshman, and there is no need to miss your classes because it is not worth it. You can do whatever is appropriate for your age. When I have time during the holidays, I will make arrangements for you, so don¡¯t cry when the time comes.¡± Zhang Yansheng is not like Zhang Huan, who always wants to fight for favor when he gets in front of the old lady. It¡¯s not like at the beginning of her rebirth, so she still hopes that there are external forces that can be used. Since the old lady said it was unnecessary, it was unnecessary. Zhang Yansheng readily accepted and had no objection. The old lady asked about the situation at the school: ¡°How is it going?¡± Zhang Yansheng told the old lady about the student union situation: ¡°I didn¡¯t expect it to be like this. Sister Qiqi said that it has always been like that, and I just need to get used to it.¡± The old lady sighed: ¡°It¡¯s always ridiculous for children to pretend to be adults. If you learn the good side, it is ridiculous but cute; if you learn the bad side, it is ridiculous and abomination.¡± Zhang Yansheng said, ¡°You are right, it is an abomination. It makes people uncomfortable.¡± The old lady said, ¡°I thought I was sophisticated and sly, but I was so stupid. Every year, we will see a lot of such things in the recruitment of manpower, and they will generally be brushed down. We recruit young people for that kind of vitality and enthusiasm, otherwise what do we want them to do for young people? They have no experience, so we have to teach them from scratch hand in hand?¡± ¡°Grandma, I don¡¯t want to get used to it.¡± Zhang Yansheng said, ¡°This kind of energy is so uncomfortable and especially unpleasant.¡± Grandma asked: ¡°Then what are you going to do?¡± ¡°I only have two choices, either quit or find a way to change it.¡± She said, ¡°Let me try it first. If I can¡¯t change it, I won¡¯t disgust myself anymore.¡± Her grandma laughed, and after laughing, she said: ¡°It¡¯s pretty good, you should take care of your school first. This is what you should do now. Go try it, but don¡¯t suffer.¡± Zhang Yansheng was surprised: ¡°Do I look like someone who will suffer?¡± Her grandma laughed again. Several people saw Zhang Yansheng¡¯s car that day, and the news that Zhang Yansheng was particularly rich spread all over the student union. Everyone secretly talked about her behind Zhang Yansheng¡¯s back while she was away. But Ma Yun was still a little unwilling. She carefully recalled what she said that day and said, ¡°She didn¡¯t say that her family has money. She herself said that her boyfriend bought the car. Maybe this boyfriend is a beer-bellied middle-aged uncle in his 40s and 50s?¡± ¡°Impossible.¡± The girl who told Ma Yun that Zhang Yansheng was rich earlier, but Ma Yun didn¡¯t believe it, said, ¡°Wang Li said that Zhang Yansheng¡¯s family is very rich. If you don¡¯t believe it, ask Wang Li.¡± Wang Li is a freshman newcomer. She nodded: ¡°A classmate in our class told us about it. She said that Zhang Yansheng¡¯s story spread all over the groups in their school during the summer vacation. She said that their family was super rich. When they held a banquet for her acceptance in university, her boyfriend gave her a car worth 10 million yuan, and her father gave her a check for 10 million yuan.¡± Several girls were in an uproar: ¡°It¡¯s too pompous! The heroine in the novel will only get about 2 million to 3 million yuan. To receive 10 million at every turn is too much, right?¡± ¡°Not necessarily.¡± A boy said, ¡°I secretly took a picture of her car that day and checked it online. The price of that model is 6 million to 9.2 million yuan. If it is the top-grade model, it will be rounded to 10 million yuan.¡± Everyone was in an uproar again. But anyway, basically Zhang Yansheng was really hammered as a rich and beautiful lady. Ma Yun was very depressed. In fact, most people, who find out that Zhang Yansheng is a rich and beautiful lady, would say ¡°wow¡± and admire her. That¡¯s what they would do afterwards. But people like Ma Yun are different. Why is ¡®bully the soft and fear the tough¡¯ a statement instead of two separate statements? Because people who bully the soft people are often afraid of tough people ¡ª Ma Yun is a typical person of this kind. In the past, when Zhang Qi was there, she was Zhang Qi¡¯s dog, and sometimes she used Zhang Qi¡¯s power to bully others. If Zhang Yansheng is weaker, she would like to step on her feet. But if she learns that Zhang Yansheng is particularly strong in certain aspects, such as social status or wealth, she will subconsciously avoid direct conflict with Zhang Yansheng, and she will be weakened first, and may even take the initiative to please. ¡°But if you can give away a car worth 10 million yuan, your boyfriend is definitely not an ordinary person, right?¡± Someone found a blind spot, no, a bright spot instead. Wang Li said: ¡°Get ready to become lemon essence. Her boyfriend is not only super rich, but is also said to be super handsome!¡± ¡°Wow~¡± Everyone was sour, ¡°Is this the rich and beautiful lady¡¯s life?¡± Zhang Yansheng pushed the door in and was a little surprised to see everyone gathered together. She looked at the time and made sure that she was not late. She was surprised: ¡°Why did you come so early?¡± Everyone stuck out their tongues and smiled: ¡°It just happened.¡± Everyone did their own things, and even Ma Yun didn¡¯t start any conflicts with Zhang Yansheng anymore, and her attitude became much softer. Zhang Yansheng has always upheld the principle that if people don¡¯t offend her, then she won¡¯t offend others. Ma Yun does not take the initiative to provoke, so she will not take the initiative to provoke her too. Everyone is at peace. But Zhang Yansheng went to Yue Song and asked, ¡°Has the ethos in the student union always been the same?¡± Yue Song said, ¡°This was not the case when I was still there. But in my senior year, I heard a little wind and someone said that the atmosphere has become bad. But I had already quit the student union at that time, so I didn¡¯t take much care of it.¡± Zhang Yansheng said, ¡°It¡¯s very greasy.¡± Yue Song sneered: ¡°What do you want to do?¡± Zhang Yansheng said, ¡°Catch the thief and capture the king, I want to talk to the president.¡± On Thursday, Zhang Qi followed the old lady to attend the forum, but did not see Zhang Yansheng. When she asked, the old lady said, ¡°She is young and has to go to school first. She doesn¡¯t need to worry about anything else for now. You see, when you were in your freshman year, I didn¡¯t let you go with me yet and only took you out during the holidays.¡± Zhang Qi thought about it too. But after she got home, she talked about today¡¯s events at the dinner table, saying that she was the only one who accompanied her grandma in the forum and Zhang Yansheng didn¡¯t attend it, and Zhao Lanfen¡¯s eyes were thoughtful. After dinner, Zhao Lanfen came to the room to find her and taught her face-to-face. ¡°You are now in your senior year and have a lot of time. You have to follow your grandma, listen, watch, and learn more from her. If you have something to do, just go to your grandma. Don¡¯t be afraid, she¡¯s your grandma, so she won¡¯t find you annoying. If you don¡¯t understand anything, just ask and she will definitely point it out to you.¡± Zhang Qi was a little confused by Zhao Lanfen¡¯s attitude. Although Zhao Lanfen used to ask her to please her grandma more, she always felt that her attitude was slightly different this time. Zhao Lanfen sighed and said, ¡°I originally thought that you are a girl, and we still have Xiao Lin in our family. In the future, Xiao Lin will be the heir. If you marry someone who is better, you will be fine. Who knew that Xiao Lin was so hateful and stubborn?¡± This year, Zhang Lin finally came back from a holiday. There was another quarrel between the mother and son, and Zhang Lin ran back abroad again. Zhao Lanfen was completely disappointed. ¡°Xiao Lin is like this, I can¡¯t count on him anymore. But your father is the eldest son and you are the eldest granddaughter, the first grandchild in the family. How to arrange it, then it has to start with you.¡± Zhao Lanfen analyzed, ¡°Zhang Shuocheng is just a kid and your grandmother can¡¯t wait for him to grow up. Your grandma also doesn¡¯t want to see Liang Yingying¡­¡± ¡°It¡¯s just that Yanyan is a competitor.¡± She said, ¡°But you are older than her, this is your advantage. You are three years ahead of her. Taking advantage of this lead, you have steadily gained a foothold in the company. Your dad will support you well. We can¡¯t lose in this heir¡¯s seat.¡± Zhang Qi¡¯s heart was pounding. Although she has never said clearly about the difference in her mother¡¯s expectations for her and her younger brother before, everyone has acquiescence in their hearts. Zhang Qi didn¡¯t expect that one day, her mother¡¯s expectations would fall on her. ¡°I will work hard.¡± She promised. Zhao Lanfen smiled in relief. Zhang Yansheng specifically went to the current student union president. But she didn¡¯t know that Ma Yun found the president before her. Does Ma Yun know that Zhang Yansheng is genuine? After learning that she is a rich and beautiful lady, she didn¡¯t want to confront Zhang Yansheng anymore. But she knows that everyone has noticed her being soft to Zhang Yansheng now. If this is the case, she will not be confused in the future, but she still has to do something. She went to find the president. ¡°Zhang Yansheng didn¡¯t take the seniors seriously at all, she even led the freshman newcomers to contradict the seniors, and directly criticized the status quo of our student union in front of many people.¡± She said, ¡°I feel that she is not suitable for staying in the student union, which may cause contradictions among everyone in the future. So, let her leave the student union.¡± But her influence was limited to her own stall, and the president did not buy it, so he said: ¡°I have never heard a report from anyone else. Let¡¯s take a look again, how long does it take for newcomers to join the club, there must be a run-in period.¡± He actually suspected that the reason Ma Yun wanted to squeeze out Zhang Yansheng was because she thought Zhang Yansheng was so beautiful. He heard Ma Yun¡¯s boyfriend complain about his troubles, saying that he just looked at Zhang Yansheng twice, and Ma Yun quarreled with him. Ma Yun was very depressed. She now particularly misses the time when senior sister Zhang Qi was still there. Young mistress Zhang Qi has the ability to squeeze out unsatisfactory people. How to be like her, it just really won¡¯t work for her. However, at that time, Zhang Qi was not only able to suppress other girls by relying on her own rich and beautiful lady¡¯s characteristics. She also sponsored the student union. She often paid out of her own pocket to invite everyone to dinner, or send benefits to everyone, and even provide internships for senior students. She has beauty, money, resources, and abilities. Naturally, she can squeeze out whoever she wants. CH 139 Enchantress13-16 minutes 20.04.2022 Zhang Yansheng approached the student council president and said bluntly: ¡°Senior Brother, don¡¯t you think there is a problem with the student council¡¯s ethos?¡± The president was a little embarrassed and said, ¡°It¡¯s not bad. It¡¯s been like this since I was just a department head.¡± ¡°I know, I have already inquired and found that it has been like this since the previous president.¡± Zhang Yansheng said, ¡°When a freshman tagged you in the group chat before and got scolded by others, Senior Brother also came out to speak up with a more euphemistic tone. So, I don¡¯t think the Senior Brother actually agrees with this kind of culture very much, right?¡± The president said, ¡°Actually¡­ aye.¡± ¡°I understand.¡± Zhang Yansheng said, ¡°The Senior Brother thinks that this is already the case. It takes a lot of effort to break it over and you may not be able to get the desired outcome, so you¡¯re unwilling to do it. Another point is that the Senior Brother is already the president of the student union and the beneficiary of the current state of affairs, a vested interest, so there is no driving force to make changes, right?¡± This freshman student got it all right and the president couldn¡¯t help being a little surprised. He had a mentality of wanting to deal with it perfunctorily, but he became serious. He thought for a while, then admitted with a bit of embarrassment: ¡°That is indeed the case.¡± ¡°In the past, the former president was surnamed Yue. When Senior Brother Yue became the president, the atmosphere was not like this. Later on, Senior Brother Yue became a senior and Senior Brother Ren became the new president. He liked it this way and Senior Sister Zhang also likes to draw a rank among her fellow students¡­ so slowly, it becomes like this.¡± Zhang Yan paused and asked, ¡°Senior Sister Zhang?¡± ¡°Senior Sister Zhang Qi.¡± said the president. ¡°She is now in her senior year and has withdrawn from the student union. Hey, let me tell you, the rule that you girls used to make trouble for not going to buy and use fake products was also set by her.¡± Zhang Yansheng didn¡¯t expect that there was still the handwriting of her cousin, Zhang Qi, in it. After being speechless for a long time, she jumped off the topic and returned to the topic: ¡°As soon as I joined the student union, I sensed a greasy and dirty smell. Senior Brother, can¡¯t you sense it yourself too?¡± The president sighed: ¡°Actually, I also think it¡¯s a bit uncomfortable. It¡¯s even embarrassing sometimes.¡± ¡°I talked about it with my grandmother before. Our family is in the business and my grandmother runs our family¡¯s business. She told me that those students who have become officers in school, the HR personnel can see it at a glance, and they will basically brush it off directly.¡± She told the president. The president was surprised: ¡°Really?¡± ¡°Of course, it is true.¡± Zhang Yansheng said, ¡°President, if you think about it, our student union recruits new students. Are you willing to find a freshman who is very hardworking and simple-minded at first sight or do you want to recruit an old fritter who will shirk work at first glance? If you put yourself in consideration for others, you don¡¯t want to find the latter kind of people. Similarly, in the future, everyone will leave school to find a job, and other companies will not want to recruit them.¡± ¡°The current bureaucratic style in the student union has no benefit except to satisfy the inexplicable vanity and desire for power of individuals. When you enter the society in the future, do you think that the HR team of other companies are all vegetarian? Can¡¯t you tell? Senior Brother, let me tell you that you are a junior student in this school and you can pose in front of us, who are freshmen. After leaving this school, in the eyes of others, you are all children. You also imitate adults very ridiculously, and what you imitate is the worst part.¡± ¡°So, what if K University is a double first-class school? Everyone who comes out of the student union has this virtue. After a long time, what will others think of our school? These reputations will be spread out. I¡¯m telling you, the secretaries have the secretarial circle, the sales have the sales circle, and the HR personnel have the HR circle. That information will circulate in related circles, and what spreads out is the reputation.¡± The president sweated slightly on his forehead. No need to say about setting up a stand in front of the junior grade, he didn¡¯t even dare to be in front of Zhang Yansheng, a freshman. ¡°You are right, but¡­¡± He hesitated. ¡°I understand. I just want to explain everything to my senior brother, it¡¯s fine as long as the Senior Brother can understand this truth. As for what you decide to do, Senior Brother, that is your own choice. I can only suggest that it is impossible to decide for you.¡± Zhang Yansheng said, ¡°But I will show my attitude, with this kind of bureaucracy, I will kick back anyone who dares to play official¡¯s prestige in front of me. I hope you also say let everyone be informed.¡± Zhang Yansheng turned around and left. The president scratched his head and found that he was sweating. This schoolgirl is so tough, she doesn¡¯t look like a freshman. But he did listen to what Zhang Yansheng said. Although he did not immediately engage in any anti-bureaucratic rectification/style movement vigorously, he began to consciously set an example in the student union to quietly resist this trend. In fact, if you look closely, it is not difficult to see that there are only a few people who are truly like that. This includes Ma Yun and her boyfriend. The others, on the other hand, are nothing more than being in it, not daring or unwilling to resist as a leader. But among the newcomers this year, there is Zhang Yansheng. After Zhang Yansheng had conflicts several times with the officers, someone proposed to expel Zhang Yansheng, but the president did not agree. Zhang Yansheng¡¯s previous conversation with him really moved him. Afterwards, he went to the former president who was already in his senior year and asked about his recent situation. Since September, the school recruitment for various large companies has begun, and the senior brothers and sisters are busy handing out resumes and going to interviews. The former president boasted to the current president: ¡°Our experience in the student union is a highlight on our resume. I have three interviews to go this month.¡± The current president said; ¡°Senior Brother should teach us some experience after he finds a job.¡± The former president laughed: ¡°I will come back for a lecture at that time.¡± But the current president has been paying attention to him; and later, he heard that he went to several major companies for interviews and was brushed off. When they met in school again, the former president was not so spirited. He started to complain, feeling that the HR team of those companies were not open-minded, and they hired all the students who had never held any positions, but they didn¡¯t want him, who had been the president of the student union. The current president remembered Zhang Yansheng¡¯s sentence ¡®When did the HR team become vegetarian?¡¯. Sure enough, they are not vegetarians. They have not been beaten up by the society at all, but the arrogant brats in the ivory tower are all exposed under the fiery eyes of the other companies¡¯ HR team. After thinking about it carefully, the current president has made up his mind to rectify the student union culture. It¡¯s just that he didn¡¯t expect that before he started to do it, there was a physical conflict in the student union. It¡¯s not that it hasn¡¯t happened before, but it¡¯s all between boys. Who would have thought that it would be between boys and girls this time! The boy with the strongest bureaucratic aura in the student union flew into a rage of humiliation because of Zhang Yansheng that he raised his hands and wanted to slap her in the face. The girls exclaimed and the other boys wanted to stop him but it was too late. They all thought that Zhang Yansheng would be beaten, and some even closed their eyes. However, no one expected that in a flash, the flowers withered in an instant, the boy had already been pushed back by Zhang Yansheng and pressed his arm on the table! He struggled with an extremely angry face, but he couldn¡¯t get rid of Zhang Yansheng¡¯s restraint. Everyone was stunned, then they managed to respond and went up to try to stop the fight. Zhang Yansheng didn¡¯t buy it and said directly: ¡°Bring in the teacher and we¡¯ll talk about this matter.¡± The student union has a high degree of autonomy, and teachers generally don¡¯t intervene but only ask questions. If Zhang Yansheng wants to invite a teacher, it is to make it clear that she wants to make things big. But Zhang Yansheng insisted and the other boys couldn¡¯t hold her back as a girl. The other girls always hate the boy who likes to play officialdom, and no one wants to get involved. Finally, the teacher was invited in. Knowing the cause and effect, the teacher bluntly criticized the bad ethos of the student union. If a boy takes the initiative to attack a girl, it will be a case that needs to be dealt with separately. The next day, the student union issued an announcement, and the boy was expelled from the student union. He was originally a department head, but now he has left the student union. Then, under the supervision of the teacher, the president held a meeting and started a campaign to purify the student union. Ma Yun¡¯s boyfriend quietly said to Ma Yun: ¡°You even asked me to confront Zhang Yansheng, fortunately, I didn¡¯t listen to you.¡± Ma Yun was angry. Zhang Yansheng told Yue Song all these things. In fact, many of them are students that Yue Song knows. Yue Song asked, ¡°Did you do it on purpose?¡± ¡°Yes.¡± Zhang Yansheng said, ¡°Some people are just like that, it¡¯s impossible to change them, so they can only be kicked out.¡± Yue Song raised his eyebrows: ¡°Why did you target him so much?¡± Zhang Yansheng raised her head: ¡°Because he got in my way.¡± ¡°I plan to become the president in my junior year. But what I want is not the current student union.¡± Zhang Yansheng said, ¡°I have expectations for my college life. I have made a plan. So, whoever hinders me will have to get out.¡± Yue Song stared at her. Zhang Yansheng raised his eyebrows: ¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡± Yue Song picked up a strand of her long hair and played with it around his fingers: ¡°You have changed.¡± Zhang Yansheng was silent for a while, and the corners of her mouth raised: ¡°Yes.¡± She became enthusiastic. In high school, learning is actually passive. Because the college entrance examination is overwhelming, so it is necessary to study. You have to learn even if you want to learn or not. But now, what Zhang Yansheng is doing is not driven by external forces, it is entirely because she wants it. ¡°Why?¡± Yue Song asked with interest, ¡°Do you feel that college life is different from high school?¡± ¡°That¡¯s right, but mainly¡­¡± Zhang Yansheng said, ¡°In college, everyone is at the same age.¡± Yue Song inexplicably couldn¡¯t understand this sentence, and laughed: ¡°Why? Did your high school classmates have a different age from you?¡± Zhang Yansheng smiled. For her, a reborned person, her high school classmates have always been like younger brothers and sisters in her eyes. Therefore, in addition to dealing with a few bad girls who took the initiative to provoke her in high school, she mostly treated her classmates with a tolerant attitude. After all, she lived a few more years than them. But college is different. When she died in her previous life, she was just a college student. If the three years of high school are a repair of the past, stepping into a university campus is a re-opening of the future. What Zhang Yansheng cares for and wants to do is different from her high school days. Her whole mentality has also become different. She has been dormant for a long time, and she has accumulated enough strength, and now she has stretched out her body. ¡°By the way, on Christmas Eve next week¡­¡± Zhang Yansheng kissed him and said, ¡°I have something to do, so we can¡¯t spend it together.¡± Yue Song breathed a sigh of relief instead. ¡°¡­¡± Zhang Yansheng, ¡°Do you have a job?¡± ¡°Yes.¡± Yue Song hugged her, ¡°It was on that day, and then I have to eat with a few elderly people, so I couldn¡¯t get away with it.¡± It¡¯s Christmas Eve for the elderlies, and they can¡¯t reschedule it because of him. ¡°It¡¯s okay.¡± Zhang Yansheng tugged at his nose, ¡°But remember that you owe me once.¡± She obviously had other arrangements. Well, the two people stick together like this, so what¡¯s the point? Yue Song asked her: ¡°Where are you going on Christmas Eve?¡± Zhang Yansheng said: ¡°I¡¯ll go to the bar together with my classmates.¡± ¡°Okay.¡± Yue Song said, ¡°Don¡¯t get drunk. Let the driver pick you up. We¡¯ll see at that time, it¡¯s best if I can pick you up.¡± Zhang Yansheng agreed. On Christmas Eve, there are Christmas trees everywhere in the business district, and the bar street is especially full of atmosphere. Zhang Yansheng said that the arrangement for Christmas Eve was for the classmates to go to the bar together. Zhang Yansheng felt that she was not lying. She had occupied a corner that was out of light in that bar early on, and she would not let the bartender light the small candles on the table. She waited there patiently, and sure enough, her classmates came. ¡ª College classmates from her previous life. CH 140 Some grievances must be avenged. For example, the hatred of life and death. Zhang Yansheng hadn¡¯t moved because the time node hadn¡¯t arrived yet, and she didn¡¯t know where to find the person she was looking for. Until she went to college, until Christmas Eve of this year. Christmas Eve is a special time node, so it is easy to remember. In her previous life, she and her college classmates came to this bar to play on Christmas Eve and met Huang Zhe here. Later on, Yue Song broke into the private room and defeated Huang Zhe and rescued Zhang Yansheng. There was Huang Zhe¡¯s blood in the blood splattered on his white shirt. Zhang Yansheng sat in a dark corner, staring at these college classmates in her previous life ¡ª most of them had money at home and couldn¡¯t enter a decent university. They spent money to exchange for a diploma, so that they wouldn¡¯t say that they just have a high school degree. There are no real bad guys here, but they are just some children spoiled by the family. Even now, they look a little silly and stupid. There are also a few people who are not her college classmates, but they are respective friends who are called over by her classmates. Huang Zhe also came like this. Among Zhang Yansheng¡¯s classmates, one of them was friends with Huang Zhe. Zhang Yansheng sat there, considering whether to go over and strike up a conversation now, mix in, and wait for Huang Zhe to show up, or just sit there and wait for Huang Zhe to show up. In fact, the former is better, so that when Huang Zhe comes, her existence will be more natural. But in her heart, she didn¡¯t want to mix with these classmates in her previous life anymore. So, in the end, she didn¡¯t move. Then, she saw Huang Zhe and Wang Qian. Zhang Yansheng never expected Wang Qian to appear there, with Huang Zhe. In her previous life, she hadn¡¯t had much contact with Wang Qian since she graduated from high school. She would only like her Moments¡¯ posts when she was in good spirits. Gradually, she didn¡¯t even like them anymore. Zhang Yansheng watched for a long time. The person who came with Wang Qian was undoubtedly Huang Zhe. His hair is now brightly dyed and he has his iconic tattoo on his neck. It was this tattoo that first attracted Zhang Yansheng¡¯s attention. The craftsmanship is really good. Zhang Yansheng met him on this Christmas Eve. After seeing and complimenting the tattoo, the two of them caught up. Later on, Huang Zhe introduced his tattoo artist to Zhang Yansheng, and Zhang Yansheng gradually became addicted to tattoos. Huang Zhe is also a very playful person, much more sociable than these college classmates in front of her. Zhang Yansheng gradually played with him, and through him, she met some other people and fooled around. Until her death. But Zhang Yansheng had never heard of Huang Zhe and Wang Qian being acquainted with each other. And Huang Zhe was the one who killed her. Zhang Yansheng sat in the corner, watching Wang Qian talk, laugh, and quickly integrated into the group ¡ª Wang Qian, like Xu Lichen, is a person who can quickly integrate into the environment and into the group, and make friends quickly. But Zhang Yansheng sat there, only feeling cold in her hands and feet. There are some things that she can¡¯t think about, and when she thinks about it, it corresponds to the phrase ¡®it¡¯s too awful to contemplate¡¯. Zhang Yansheng pulled up her coat and hat and hurried past their table. Someone glanced at her, only to see a tall and slim back figure, with high boots tube wrapped around her calves, in a beautiful shape. But it is not unusual for the bar street to be full of beautiful and fashionable girls on Christmas Eve, so the classmate retracted his gaze. Zhang Yansheng didn¡¯t take a big breath until she walked outside and the cold and dry air was blowing on her face. Her suffocation was slightly relieved, but her chest was still like a stone, heavy, and her heart was uncomfortable. Irritation spread in her heart, as if returning to the beginning of her rebirth, irritable and full of hostility. She must have thought too much. Zhang Yansheng watched the flow of people on the street on Christmas Eve and told herself. It must be. Although the friendship in her previous life was very plastic, it was just like that. Girls in their teens have the deepest minds and that¡¯s it. No, it¡¯s really not! Zhang Yansheng stood on the street watching the traffic and the crowd for a long time. Then she took out her cellphone, but then remembered that it was Christmas Eve, and Xu Lichen must be playing outside as well. She didn¡¯t call, but sent him a message instead: Call me back at your convenience. She thought it¡¯s going to take a long time, but Xu Lichen called her in just two minutes later. Xu Lichen glanced at his cellphone while drinking, just in time to see Zhang Yansheng¡¯s message. A genius would think that Zhang Yansheng was looking for him on Christmas Eve to say ¡®Merry Christmas¡¯ means that she must be in trouble. There is a high probability that it¡¯s a bad thing, because good things can wait, but bad things need immediate attention. Xu Lichen quickly found a barely quiet place and called her back: ¡°Hello? Zhang Yansheng, what happened?¡± Sure enough, Zhang Yansheng didn¡¯t even mention any nonsense such as Merry Christmas. She directly asked, ¡°Do you still have contact with the people in the previous Class 8?¡± ¡°Yes.¡± Xu Lichen inexplicably, ¡°What¡¯s the matter? Why do you remember Class 8 all of a sudden?¡± Zhang Yansheng took a breath and said, ¡°Help me find out about Wang Qian¡¯s recent situation.¡± Wang Qian only briefly intersected with Xu Lichen and Zhang Yansheng in this life, and then everyone went their separate ways. If Zhang Yansheng didn¡¯t mention it, Xu Lichen would have already forgotten Wang Qian. But when Zhang Yansheng mentioned this name, what rushed into Xu Lichen¡¯s mind in an instant was not the brief intersection of reality and Wang Qian, but the¡­ weird dream he had when he was in H City. ¡°Okay, let me ask them.¡± He agreed without hesitation, and then asked, ¡°Where are you?¡± Zhang Yansheng¡¯s phone could hear the emptiness of the space, and there was a faint background sound of traffic rumbling. Sure enough, Zhang Yansheng said, ¡°I¡¯m outside.¡± Xu Lichen asked: ¡± Where is Lao Yue?¡± Zhang Yansheng said, ¡°He has something to do today.¡± Xu Lichen asked, ¡°Are you okay?¡± ¡°Me?¡± Zhang Yansheng said, ¡°Of course I¡¯m okay.¡± Zhang Yansheng¡¯s speech rate was slower than when she was really ¡®okay¡¯ and not so powerful. Xu Lichen bet that Zhang Yansheng is definitely not ¡®okay¡¯. ¡°Okay, take care of yourself.¡± He hung up the phone decisively and immediately called Yue Song, ¡°Where are you? Yansheng doesn¡¯t feel right.¡± Yue Song was taken aback, and asked calmly, ¡°What¡¯s the situation?¡± ¡°I don¡¯t know.¡± Xu Lichen said, ¡°I just called her and felt that she was in a bad mood. She was outside and she must be on the street based on what I¡¯ve heard in the background.¡± ¡°Got it.¡± Yue Song said, ¡°I¡¯ll be right there.¡± Yue Song called Zhang Yansheng: ¡°I¡¯ll go over to find you, where are you?¡± Zhang Yansheng was a bit surprised, because it was still early, and the various activities on Christmas Eve had just begun. She asked, ¡°Are you done with your business?¡± ¡°No.¡± Yue Song said, ¡°But it¡¯s okay, I¡¯m going to find you.¡± Zhang Yansheng was silent for a while and said, ¡°Okay, I¡¯m here¡­¡± She gave him the location. Xu Lichen was right, Zhang Yansheng really had a situation. Usually, she would not agree when Yue Song said it, she would say, ¡°You are busy with your business, I¡¯m fine.¡± Yue Song put away his cellphone, walked back to the private room quickly, and whispered something in old man Yue¡¯s ear. The old man showed some surprise, but still said, ¡°Go, go.¡± Yue Song apologized to the old people and hurriedly left. Some people were surprised: ¡°What¡¯s wrong with Xiao Song?¡± Old man Yue said, ¡°He said that he has something to do with a friend¡­ I don¡¯t know what friend will make him so nervous.¡± His grandson has always been calm, and there are few such accidents. But someone suddenly laughed: ¡°Old Yue, Old Yue! You are so stupid!¡± Old man Yue inexplicably said: ¡°You old thing is stupid.¡± ¡°Hahaha, if I say you are stupid, then you are stupid. Do you know what day it is today? Christmas Eve!¡± The old man laughed. Old man Yue¡¯s nostrils spurt air: ¡°I¡¯m not good with foreign festivals!¡± ¡°You¡¯re an old fool, but your children are all old now!¡± The old man despised him for not keeping up with the times, ¡°Now, this Christmas Day and Christmas Eve basically mean the same as Valentine¡¯s Day. My little granddaughter went out to celebrate the festival with her boyfriend today!¡± Old man Yue suddenly reacted: ¡°You mean¡­¡± The other old people laughed: ¡°Girlfriend! It must be a girlfriend!¡± Old man Yue raised his eyebrows in joy, patted the table and said, ¡°Wait for me to go back and ask that kid!¡± When Yue Song found Zhang Yansheng, he saw her standing on the street staring at the traffic, her expression was really not right. ¡°Yansheng¨C¡± He got out of the car and called her, and walked over quickly. Zhang Yansheng was awakened by the sound, so she turned her head to see him. Yue Song held Zhang Yansheng¡¯s hands and they were cold. How long has she been standing outside? Yue Song was shocked. He dragged Zhang Yansheng into the car and stuffed her in, got into the car himself, turned on the heating, and asked, ¡°Where is your car?¡± Zhang Yansheng said, ¡°I didn¡¯t drive today.¡± Yue Song covered her hands to warm them, and asked her, ¡°What happened today? Didn¡¯t you go out with your classmates?¡± Zhang Yansheng lowered her eyes. ¡°Yansheng?¡± Yue Song held her hands tighter and said softly, ¡°What¡¯s wrong, tell me?¡± Zhang Yansheng raised her eyes and said, ¡°I found out something by accident today. Someone I have known for a long time may have done something to harm me.¡± Yue Song asked in a deep voice: ¡°What kind of thing is it and how serious is it?¡± Zhang Yansheng was silent for a long time and said, ¡°It¡¯s the kind of giving drugs to others and wanting the others to take drugs.¡± The temperature in the car suddenly went cold, and Zhang Yansheng felt the strength of Yue Song holding her hand suddenly increased, and saw the violent anger in his eyes. ¡°It¡¯s fine, look, I¡¯m okay.¡± She covered his hands and comforted him. Actually, it¡¯s not okay, in the previous life, she died. Her words did not appease Yue Song¡¯s anger. He said, ¡°Who is it? Give me his name.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t be angry.¡± Zhang Yansheng pressed his hands, ¡°It doesn¡¯t matter who is doing it, I can handle it myself.¡± ¡°So, you are uncomfortable about someone else?¡± Yue Song frowned. ¡°Yes, I found out suddenly today. I didn¡¯t expect to meet this person. I didn¡¯t know they knew each other before¡­ If it¡¯s true, then¡­¡± Zhang Yansheng couldn¡¯t help biting her knuckles. If it is true, the blatant malice would be too chilling. But Zhang Yansheng bit her knuckles a few times, and suddenly overthrew everything she had thought before: ¡°No, maybe I was wrong!¡± ¡°Yue Song, I actually have no evidence.¡± She said, ¡°I just suddenly found out that she knew the person who hacked me, and I didn¡¯t know it before. I was just shocked by this information, and I immediately judged that they were both involved in the incident. But in fact, this is all my own imagination.¡± She said: ¡°It¡¯s also possible that it¡¯s just a coincidence that she happened to know me and she also happened to know him, right?¡± Yue Song stared at her for a moment and said, ¡°Yansheng, you actually don¡¯t want to believe that that person would harm you, do you?¡± Zhang Yansheng admitted. She said: ¡°Because we used to be friends, although I didn¡¯t mean it sincerely. And if this is true, then this malice is really terrible. It¡¯s really chilling.¡± ¡°Well, if there is no evidence, you can put it aside.¡± Yue Song said coldly, ¡°But anyone who tries to drug you must not let go.¡± ¡°Of course.¡± Zhang Yansheng held his hands, ¡°But don¡¯t worry, it¡¯s not time yet.¡± For revenge, Zhang Yansheng¡¯s principle is to kill with one blow. CH 141 Enchantress12-16 minutes 22.04.2022 On Christmas Eve, Yue Song and Zhang Yansheng were still together after all. Yue Song usually lives with the old man Yue, but he also has his own separate residence. The young couple spend most of their daily appointments and overnight stays there. After the passion, Zhang Yansheng took Yue Song¡¯s hand and put it in the palm of her hand, showing a peaceful and comfortable expression. Yue Song stroked her face gently and joked with her: ¡°I¡¯ve told you before that you like good-looking things like my hands, but you still won¡¯t admit it.¡± Zhang Yansheng closed her eyes and smiled: ¡°I just like this feeling.¡± ¡°How does it feel?¡± Yue Song asked. Zhang Yansheng opened her eyes: ¡°I feel very relieved.¡± With this hand, in her previous life, he held her hand to soothe her fear. This hand, in this life, can also heal her anxiety and hostility. A smile bloomed in Yue Song¡¯s eyes, and he leaned over to kiss her carefully. The next day, Yue Song was tortured in the company to extract confessions. The old man sneered: ¡°Go ahead. Confess obediently by yourself, or would you rather let me use torture to extract confessions?¡± Yue Song: ¡°¡­what are you talking about?¡± ¡°What else can it be?!¡± The old man patted the table dissatisfied, ¡°Of course it¡¯s about your girlfriend! Why didn¡¯t you tell me?! You are not a filial son and grandson!¡± Yue Song held his forehead. Seeing him like this, the old man raised his eyebrows with joy: ¡°So you really have a girlfriend? If it weren¡¯t for your Grandpa Xu who woke me up yesterday, I wouldn¡¯t have thought of it! Tell me, whose child is it? Make arrangements, the two families will meet for a meal! We¡¯ll discuss it, set the date, when you will get married, and when I can hold my great-grandson!¡± ¡°It¡¯s because I know you will do this that I don¡¯t want to tell you.¡± Yue Song rubbed his temples and said, ¡°If you do this, I may not have a girlfriend tomorrow.¡± ¡°No way, how can it be?¡± The old man said stiffly, ¡°This is the most normal and best wish of an old man like me!¡± ¡°You already said that it is the wish of the old man, not the wish of the young man, let alone the wish of the young girl.¡± Yue Song said helplessly, ¡°My girlfriend is only a college freshman this year and she is less than 19 years old. Do you think she would be happy to be pressured by her elders to get married and have children? Besides, even if she wants to, she is not yet of legal age for marriage.¡± ¡°So young.¡± The old man was disappointed, ¡°Then you have to wait for several years! You hurry up and work hard.¡± Yue Song: ¡°¡­¡± ¡°Aye, then let¡¯s not mention marriage and children. It¡¯s okay to meet first.¡± Old Man Yue said, ¡°By the way, you have to tell me whose child it is first, right?¡± ¡°Her name is Zhang Yansheng.¡± Yue Song said, ¡°The old lady Song Lanying from Xingnan is her grandmother.¡± ¡°Oh! It¡¯s their family!¡± The old man patted the table, ¡°The old lady is a powerful person. When she was young, she did a few powerful things. I have heard of them, but I haven¡¯t dealt with them much. Not bad, not bad.¡± He said again: ¡°I remember Xingnan¡­ Old Lady Song has two sons, right? One is named Zhang Huan and the other is Zhang Yu, correct? Oh oh! No wonder! No wonder you introduced those brothers to me last time!¡± Yue Song nodded: ¡°Her father is Zhang Huan. She has a female cousin and male cousin from her uncle¡¯s family. She also has a younger brother and a younger sister in her family.¡± He paused and said, ¡°But the younger brother and sister are both her half-siblings. Her mother died of cancer a few years ago, and her father remarried.¡± ¡°Call Zhang Huan out and let¡¯s have a meal together.¡± The old man regretted, ¡°Oh, if I knew that he was my in-law, I should have had two more drinks with him last time.¡± Unexpectedly, Yue Song refused: ¡°No, I just told you, if you do this, I won¡¯t have a girlfriend tomorrow.¡± The old man was not happy: ¡°No way. I didn¡¯t know it before. But now that I know it, shouldn¡¯t the two sides meet for a meal together?¡± ¡°If you want to see her, I can arrange for you to meet her as my girlfriend.¡± Yue Song warned the old man who was secretly rubbing his hands with a thief¡¯s heart, ¡°However, you can¡¯t assume that the two families will talk about marriage and set a date for it.¡± The old man was a little guilty: ¡°I just want to have a meal with her parents.¡± ¡°Let me remind you again, she is less than 19 years old. At her age, she has not considered getting married at all, and she is most disgusted with her elders forcing her to get married. If you say something like getting engaged first, there is a high probability that she would rather break up with me than lose her freedom. It¡¯s not because that¡¯s how she is, but the young people of her age are like this, regardless of their gender.¡± The old man knew that he was telling the truth, but he was still unhappy and muttered. Yue Song raised his eyebrows: ¡°If you complain so much, it¡¯s better not to meet her. Just treat it as if you never knew about it.¡± ¡°Meet, meet, meet! I finally looked forward to a candidate for my grandson¡¯s wife, so how could I not see her?!¡± The old man¡¯s dream of quickly giving birth to great-grandchildren with his grandson was shattered, but he couldn¡¯t give up his granddaughter-in-law, so he hurriedly said, ¡°You hurry up and arrange it for me. I want to meet my future granddaughter-in-law!¡± ¡­¡­ Zhang Yansheng waited to meet Huang Zhe by chance on Christmas Eve. Her original plan was actually quite simple: to make friends with Huang Zhe, control some of his daily action information as a friend, and find suitable opportunities to take action. The so-called action is also very simple. In fact, it is to call the police. Huang Zhe not only took drugs by himself, but also lured other teenagers to take drugs, and even poisoned Zhang Yansheng. He tried so hard to pull others into the pit, Zhang Yansheng suspected that he might be selling drugs by himself, or at least working for drug dealers. If you don¡¯t call the police to catch him like this, then what are you waiting for? Zhang Yansheng wanted to approach him, the first was to know his whereabouts, and the second was to confirm whether he had started taking drugs and selling drugs now. But she never expected that Wang Qian would show up there. She thought that her fate with Wang Qian had ended already in this life. With the addition of Wang Qian, the origin of her previous life and the lingering doubts in her heart, things become complicated. It is definitely not possible to rely on herself to toss it alone. She must have some help. Xu Lichen inquired about Wang Qian the next day. ¡°After she transferred to that private high school, she only studied there for more than a year. She was sent out in her senior year of high school and went abroad to study preparatory subjects.¡± Xu Lichen told Zhang Yansheng, ¡°These days, during the Christmas season, foreign schools will have holidays, so she will return home. For details, see the screenshot I sent you.¡± Xu Lichen is a person who is very good at making friends, and once he makes friends, others will always treat him as a friend. Although he left Class 8 early, he has always had many friends in Class 8, and there are still quite a few whom he still has contact with. He looked for the boy who had played well with Wang Qian to help him inquire. The screenshot is the chat history of the boy and Wang Qian. Boy: ¡°Did you go back to China? Yesterday, someone told me that he saw a girl who looked like you.¡± Wang Qian: ¡°What a coincidence! I indeed came back. I went to the bar street to play yesterday.¡± Boy: ¡°He said he also saw you with a boy, your boyfriend, right?¡± Wang Qian: ¡°No, he¡¯s a relative of mine.¡± Relative? Zhang Yansheng stared at this screenshot for a long time. ¡°Hey, have you finished reading it?¡± Xu Lichen said, ¡°I still have something to tell you after reading it.¡± ¡°Say it.¡± Zhang Yansheng said in a deep voice. ¡°It¡¯s also luck. Wang Qian transferred not long after staying in Yi High School. I almost gave up and when I wanted to break my head yesterday, I only remembered that this guy could talk to her, so I looked for him.¡± Xu Lichen said. This person has a good relationship with Xu Lichen. He helped him do these things. After getting back to him, he also confessed another thing. ¡°I just remembered when you asked me to inquire about Wang Qian for you. Actually¡­¡± He said, ¡°After she transferred to another school, she contacted me several times in a period of time, just to inquire about you, Zhang Yansheng from Class 2, Zou Zihan, and other girls in our class. Do you remember them? At the beginning, they used to expel others with Wang Qian, but in the end, Wang Qian was expelled directly to transfer to another school.¡± The boy said, ¡°She liked you at the time and the whole class knew that she liked you, but you liked Zhang Yansheng. Zou Zihan and a few of the girls had a grudge against her¡­ I think I can quite understand her feelings. If she wants to come and inquire with me, I will tell her everything. Anyway, it¡¯s just about the school and nothing else, and there is no privacy for you.¡± Xu Lichen said that it didn¡¯t matter, he didn¡¯t care about this trivial matter. He also asked this boy to help keep an eye on it. The other boys are in contact with Wang Qian and have added friends to each other. They can see each other¡¯s Moments. Xu Lichen asked him to tell himself if he saw anything wrong with Wang Qian. The boy agreed, smiled and said, ¡°F*ck, it¡¯s been two to three years since that thing happened, why haven¡¯t you two dropped it yet? Are you continuing the leading edge again?¡± Xu Lichen vaguely went over it and only asked him: ¡°Don¡¯t mention me to her, don¡¯t let her know that I¡¯m asking about her.¡± The boy smiled and agreed. Zhang Yansheng was silent for a long time, and then suddenly asked Xu Lichen: ¡°Your dream, when I went to H City to find you, the dream you had at that time. You said I was dead in that dream, who notified you of this news?¡± Xu Lichen paused before saying, ¡°¡­Wang Qian.¡± Zhang Yansheng asked: ¡°Do you remember the exact day she told you about it? How long has it been since I died? Did she say that she knew it through someone who knew it, or how did she know it?¡± Xu Lichen¡¯s whole body became tense! ¡°Zhang Yansheng!¡± He looked at the clear sky/daytime, and said loudly, ¡°You f*cking don¡¯t scare people just for fun!¡± Since he left H City, Xu Lichen tried his best not to remember that dream. Because the feeling in that dream is so real, and the ending of the dream is that he is sitting on a plane that is about to crash and dives into the ground¡­ F*ck! The feeling of facing death is so uncomfortable, so terrifying! Who wants to reflect on it! Zhang Yansheng said, ¡°When will you go back to K City, come and find me, let¡¯s have a good chat.¡± Xu Lichen asked vigilantly: ¡°What are we going to talk about?¡± Zhang Yansheng said, ¡°Talk about your dream.¡± Xu Lichen: ¡°Bah!¡± He hung up the phone directly! Yue Song told Zhang Yansheng about the old man¡¯s desire to see her. ¡°Yes, it is okay.¡± Zhang Yansheng said, ¡°The elders have already spoken, so you can arrange it.¡± Yue Song thought for a while: ¡°New Year¡¯s Day?¡± That will be less than a week. Zhang Yansheng thought that it was okay. However, Zhang Yansheng had no experience of seeing elders in her two lifetimes. In order to be cautious, she went to consult the old lady. The old lady said, ¡°It¡¯s nothing, just pay attention to politeness. If the elders have any ideas that are different from yours, you don¡¯t have to refute them on the spot, just pass them vaguely, and talk about it with Xiao Yue in private.¡± Zhang Yansheng asked, ¡°What kind of idea could you, elders, have? It can¡¯t be that you just want me to get married and have children now, right?¡± The old lady said angrily: ¡°You don¡¯t know how to be an elder.¡± The old lady sponsored Zhang Yansheng a century-old wild ginseng: ¡°Ask your father to prepare the rest.¡± When Zhang Huan learned about this, he took out a bottle of wine from his wine cellar and gave it to Zhang Yansheng: ¡°This is from Dad¡¯s collection. The old man will understand and he¡¯ll know at a glance that your father is sincere.¡± With gifts and courtesy, Zhang Yansheng was ready to meet Yue Song¡¯s grandfather. On the morning of December 31st, Yue Song vaguely heard the noise. He got up from the bed, walked to the side of the bed and opened the curtains to take a look. The car was parked in the courtyard downstairs, and the staff at home were helping to move the luggage down from the car. With so many suitcases, it looks like his parents¡¯ style. Sure enough, when he went downstairs, his parents, whom he had not seen for a long time and were said to be both sickly, said with blushing faces: ¡°Songsong, we are back!¡± ¡°What is my daughter-in-law¡¯s name?¡± ¡°Does she look good?¡± CH 142 Enchantress12-15 minutes 23.04.2022 Zhang Yansheng was informed by Yue Song the day before the meeting that in addition to old man Yue, she would also meet his parents. ¡°Just pretend that you don¡¯t know.¡± Yue Song said helplessly, ¡°The two of them have to let me tell you that they want to give you a ¡®surprise¡¯.¡± For any girl who is about to meet her man¡¯s elders, this is a shock rather than a surprise. Zhang Yansheng held her forehead: ¡°Your parents¡­¡± ¡°The two of them are like children, you will know when you meet them.¡± Yue Song¡¯s tone was full of helplessness. In contrast, he is more like a broken-hearted parent. Zhang Yansheng smiled: ¡°I got it, don¡¯t worry.¡± On New Year¡¯s Day, Zhang Yansheng arrived as scheduled. When she appeared, Yue Song saw that the eyes of the three people in his family lit up. Zhang Yansheng gave her gifts. It doesn¡¯t have to be too expensive, just to express her heart. ¡°I didn¡¯t know that you two are back, so I haven¡¯t prepared anything.¡± She said seriously. He did tell her to pretend that she didn¡¯t know, just to save her some worry. ¡°It¡¯s okay, it¡¯s okay.¡± Yue Song¡¯s mother was so happy, ¡°It¡¯s good as long as you come.¡± When they met for the first time, old man Yue gave her a thin red envelope, and when she squeezed it, she knew that it contained a check. Yue Song¡¯s parents gave her a green emerald bracelet. This is the first time that the elders meet the juniors. These elders are very easy to get along with, Yue Song¡¯s parents have no arrogance, they are very easy-going people. They told Zhang Yansheng about the farm that the two of them had just bought in Australia, and kindly invited her to play with them. There is no trace of troubles and stress that ordinary people would have between their eyebrows, and there is also a kind of heart-to-heart connection between the husband and wife. One person opens his mouth and the other knows what the other person is going to say, such a tacit understanding. What they said was funny and even a little naive, which often made Zhang Yansheng smile. In comparison, old man Yue puts a lot of pressure on people. He is very energetic and his eyes are piercing, which makes people feel that he is particularly powerful. He asked about Zhang Yansheng¡¯s previous investment in the movies, and asked her if she had made any other investments afterwards. Zhang Yansheng said: ¡°I have invested in two million-level small projects. They are all well-regulated and traditional industries. They are relatively conservative and have low rates of returns, but they can be expected. The previous time was pure luck and I didn¡¯t understand anything back then. Luck will not always be there. It¡¯s time to learn from scratch and start from an early age. I won¡¯t make investments of more than ten million for the time being before graduation.¡± This attitude is not arrogant or impatient, unlike some young people who occasionally have the luck to win a small victory, and they have to stick up their tails to the sky. Old man Yue¡¯s gaze at Zhang Yansheng became more eager. Zhang Yansheng can feel the old man¡¯s satisfaction and liking for her, but the old man is different from Yue Song¡¯s parents ¡ª Zhang Yansheng feels that Yue Song¡¯s parents are just really there to see the excitement. They have no expectations or requirements for her and Yue Song. But the old man is different, the old man obviously has. Several times during the conversation, the old man¡¯s voice had to deviate, leading to ¡®in the future¡¯ and ¡®later on¡¯. Every time it happened, Yue Song would interrupt silently, and then force him back with his eyes. The old man was aggrieved, and he could only put away his fantasies that had been in the same room for four generations, so as not to frighten the little girl who had just entered her freshman year in college. Zhang Yansheng pretended not to understand, she would not answer that question anyway. Miraculously, Yue Song¡¯s parents also didn¡¯t answer either. The two of them just looked around and talked to her, obviously wanting to divert the topic. Generally, if the man¡¯s parents are satisfied with the woman, don¡¯t they all start to urge marriage and childbearing? There was no supporter, and the old man had the sadness of a hero in the evening, and he was even more aggrieved. Zhang Yansheng adhered to the etiquette of being a guest, arrived at the right time, had cordial talks with the elders, had lunch, sat for a while and had a cup of tea, and got up in time to leave. She didn¡¯t drive. Yue Song picked her up in the morning, and naturally Yue Song sent her back. ¡°I guess my parents are going to run away tonight.¡± He said, ¡°They didn¡¯t even open their luggage. They just came back to see you and didn¡¯t plan to stay at all.¡± ¡°The idea of running away is a bit¡­¡± Zhang Yansheng held her forehead. ¡°They will run away.¡± Yue Song said with certainty, ¡°Our family has been passed down for three generations. My grandfather has always wanted them to have more children. When I grow up, I want my parents to have another child too. But my mother is so squeamish, she has had enough of giving birth to me, and she resolutely refuses to have another child, so my dad took her away. Otherwise, why do you think the two of them have refused to return to China? Of course, to avoid my grandfather.¡± ¡°My grandfather is now older and more anxious than before. He will definitely urge us to get married early and have children early.¡± Yue Song said, ¡°If you don¡¯t like listening, just treat it as if you didn¡¯t hear it. Just don¡¯t pay attention to him, I¡¯ll stop him.¡± Her grandma said that if she has any ideas that are inconsistent with the elders, then she doesn¡¯t have to argue with them in person, just pass them vaguely, and communicate with Yue Song in private. Her grandma also said that if he has her in his heart, he will take her place and will not make it difficult for her. It¡¯s good to meet the parents, this will give you an opportunity to understand the man¡¯s attitude. Her grandma was really an experienced person. Zhang Yansheng raised the corners of her mouth: ¡°Okay.¡± Yue Song asked her again about the arrangements for the next two days. Zhang Yansheng said, ¡°Xu Lichen is back and I will accompany him to Nanshan Temple to worship tomorrow.¡± Yue Song was surprised: ¡°Does he believe in Buddhism?¡± ¡°Do you think he looks like one?¡± Zhang Yansheng said, ¡°He had a dream and dreamed that he was dead. He was so scared that he was going to say goodbye to bad luck. He¡¯s afraid that it will follow him home.¡± Yue Song laughed. On New Year¡¯s Day, there will be a three-day holiday. Early the next morning, Zhang Yansheng drove to Nanshan Temple in the mountains on the outskirts of the city, accompanied Xu Lichen to worship, and donated 100,000 yuan of incense money. It alarmed the person in charge, he personally came out to receive them, recorded their names, and put them on the merit list ¡ª the next time the merit monument is engraved, their names will also be engraved there. He asked the two people why they came to worship, and he personally interpreted Xu Lichen¡¯s dreams. ¡°The life of doom in the dream has passed, and the reality will come to an end.¡± Although the old monk doesn¡¯t eat oil and water, he has seen too many worldly people and knows what these people want to hear. He was dressed in a monk¡¯s robe, his white beard was fluttering, and his temperament was tightly controlled. What he said was like philosophy, making people feel as if they had been enlightened when they heard it. Xu Lichen is the one who feels deeply enlightened. He slapped his thigh: ¡°You are right! It is true that none of those things is true in reality! I am doing well now!¡± The shadow in Xu Lichen¡¯s heart was resolved by the high monk, and he went to vegetarian fasting with Zhang Yansheng beaming, and finally, he was willing to tell her about the bad dream he had. Zhang Yansheng asked a lot of details, all about Wang Qian. It is impossible for Xu Lichen not to be suspicious. He asked, ¡°Why did you suddenly ask me about this dream and Wang Qian?¡± Xu Lichen knew too much in his dreams, and Zhang Yansheng didn¡¯t want him to know more. She said: ¡°When I saw her on Christmas Eve, I suddenly remembered the dream you were talking about. At that time, you were so terrified of something.¡± At that time, Xu Lichen was indeed terrified. He was so frightened that he was panicked and incoherent. Zhang Yansheng gave him a big slap on his face to calm him down. Xu Lichen stuck his neck: ¡°Nonsense! It¡¯s nothing!!!¡± Zhang Yansheng spent money to find a private investigator, who specializes in tracking and investigating extramarital affairs and helping to catch the couple in the act. It doesn¡¯t sound very good, but the work is very neat. ¡°Wang Qian and Huang Zhe, their mothers are cousins, and they are cousins who are separated by one layer. The two families have a good relationship and often communicate. Traces of each other¡¯s existence can be found in the Moments and QQ space of the two of them.¡± He said solemnly, ¡°Miss Zhang, you misunderstood the relationship between your boyfriend and his cousin. However, according to my follow-up observations, your boyfriend is indeed not honest. He has dealings with many girls and often goes in and out of nightclubs. I have taken pictures¡­¡± Zhang Yansheng packaged herself as Huang Zhe¡¯s girlfriend, and under the guise of investigating whether her boyfriend is cheating, she asked a private investigator to find out the relationship between Wang Qian and Huang Zhe. It turned out that they were really relatives. She was not interested in Huang Zhe¡¯s relationship between men and women, and said to the private investigator: ¡°I recently discovered that there¡¯s a bit wrong about my ¡®boyfriend¡¯. He met some messy people. I suspect that those people might take him on drugs. Can you find out about it?¡± The private investigator agreed. He continued to follow for a while, and told Zhang Yansheng: ¡°Your suspicion is correct. He does take drugs, but it should still be in its infancy and there is still time to save it.¡± But Zhang Yansheng didn¡¯t check these things to save Huang Zhe, such a rubbish thing. She just wants to confirm her conjecture. Sure enough, as she thought, Huang Zhe was not deep on drugs at this time. She also remembered that when they first met, Huang Zhe was just a fun-loving person. Later, he gradually became different. If a person enters a drug pit, there is always a process from inhalation to selling. Zhang Yansheng did not hide this from Yue Song because he even wanted to take over at the beginning, and he would really do it, but this is Zhang Yansheng¡¯s business. Not to mention the many causes and consequences in it, it is not convenient for Yue Song to know. To end this grievance, Zhang Yansheng has to do it herself, which is considered an end. Zhang Yansheng said, ¡°He will get deeper and deeper. If I say that I don¡¯t plan to do it now and want him to continue for the future, will you think that I am too vicious?¡± She stared at Yue Song. Yue Song put her hair together and told her, ¡°If you are willing to leave this matter to me, I promise to do it more viciously than you. There are some things that cannot be forgiven and tolerated. Indulging evil is equivalent to suppressing good, and tolerance for such people will only harm more other people.¡± Zhang Yansheng held his hand and smiled slightly. There is nothing that makes people feel more comfortable than that person who agrees with your three views and principles of doing things. ¡°Where is the other person?¡± Yue Song won¡¯t forget Wang Qian. He remembered very well that on the night of Christmas Eve, Zhang Yansheng stood on the street and her face was very pale. She is a courageous and temperamental girl. She will not be easily frightened. When she mentioned that someone had tried to drug her, her tone was also very flat. She was shocked by an unexpected malice. He asked, ¡°What are you going to do with the other person?¡± CH 143 Regarding Wang Qian, it is impossible to make a judgement. Because from the perspective of conspiracy theories, everything seems to point to her participating in it to some extent and promoting it to some extent. For example, she learned of Zhang Yansheng¡¯s death so quickly and told Xu Lichen, Xu Lichen still had time to rush back to attend the funeral. Another example, Zhang Yansheng and Huang Zhe have known each other for a few years, but she has never heard Huang Zhe mention this cousin. So, has Wang Qian heard Huang Zhe mention how many friends he met at XX University? Wang Qian knew Zhang Yansheng¡¯s school. If you think about it this way, it seems that everything can be right, as if there are clues everywhere. But on the other hand, from another point of view, it seems that it all makes sense. Regarding Zhang Yansheng¡¯s death, Zhang Huan might have notified the school teacher or the people in the contacts list on her cellphone. Many people do this. In short, Wang Qian may be able to learn about her death in time from any channel. Huang Zhe is her cousin, maybe relatives do not mention their friends to each other. Zhang Yansheng never heard Zhang Qi and Zhang Lin mention their friends. This is also possible. As always, if you suspect your neighbor of stealing an axe, there will be traces everywhere. If you think that your neighbor doesn¡¯t have it, then it all makes sense as well. There is no way to prove whether Zhang Yansheng¡¯s death in the previous life had anything to do with Wang Qian. There is no evidence to prove her guilt, nor is there evidence to prove her innocence. This matter is destined to have no answer. Zhang Yansheng lowered his eyes for a long time and said, ¡°I can¡¯t prove whether she has an involvement or not.¡± Yue Song said, ¡°Then ask the guy with the surname Huang?¡± ¡°It¡¯s useless.¡± Zhang Yansheng said, ¡°If she really did something, then it won¡¯t be a positive way to leave people with a handle. Her way of doing things must be the one that pushes on the sidelines and fuels the flames.¡± Yue Song understood: ¡°Well, unless she admits it herself¡­¡± But no one will admit what they have done, especially if the other party has no evidence to accuse them, it is even more impossible. ¡°Then what are you going to do?¡± Yue Song asked Zhang Yansheng. After all, this matter is up to Zhang Yansheng to decide. Zhang Yansheng was silent for a long time, and finally made her own choice: ¡°A presumption of guilt.¡± Although no matter what choice Zhang Yansheng made, Yue Song would support her. However, Yue Song also had his own inclination in his heart. When he knew that someone had tried to drug Zhang Yansheng, he almost wanted to kill him in a moment of anger. Therefore, when someone is suspected of participating in or even promoting this matter, Yue Song is emotionally more inclined to prefer to kill the wrong person than to let it go. But Zhang Yansheng chose not to convict that person. As the person involved, she would never be less angry than Yue Song. It¡¯s just that there is a line in her heart. No matter what she has experienced in her previous life and present life, Zhang Yansheng will not trample on her bottom line of being a human being. Yue Song gently rubbed her smooth cheeks with the back of his fingers. What he saw in her eyes was not weakness or being a saint, but the principle of being a human being. He couldn¡¯t help but smile. ¡°What are you smiling at?¡± Zhang Yansheng asked inexplicably. ¡°Suddenly, I felt very good.¡± Yue Song said, ¡°I¡¯ve already liked you even before I knew what kind of person you are.¡± Zhang Yansheng raised her head, and looked at him obliquely: ¡°For me, you are a man who is just interested in sex.¡± Yue Song laughed. Most of love begins with the desire to have sex, and then it gradually deepens in the combination of the three views, or gradually drifts away after the passion fades, it depends on everyone¡¯s fate. Yue Song felt that his fate was very good. ¡­¡­ Zhang Qi doesn¡¯t have much time at school now. She didn¡¯t expect to come over at the end of the semester and was caught by Ma Yun, who complained about all her bitterness. ¡°When we were newcomers before, there were senior brothers and sisters above us. Isn¡¯t it natural for the senior brothers and sisters to take care of the newcomers? We never said anything about it. Senior Sister Zhang, don¡¯t you think so?¡± She complained, ¡°This year¡¯s newcomers are amazing that they can squeeze out all the junior department heads. The seniors occasionally say a word to them, but they would talk to us a lot.¡± Zhang Qi understood the situation and said, ¡°There¡¯s usually a leader on this kind of thing. If you press down the one who takes the lead, then the others will be fine.¡± Ma Yun sighed: ¡°It¡¯s the one who takes the lead that is so powerful, so we can¡¯t do anything about it.¡± Zhang Qi was a little bit dissatisfied with her like this: ¡°You are a senior sister, but you¡¯re actually being suppressed by a kid in the first year. You¡¯re too useless, aren¡¯t you?¡± After speaking, she picked up the hot milk tea. ¡°Senior Sister, you don¡¯t know but the one who takes the lead is amazing, we can¡¯t even talk to her. She dared to even beat the boys, but the boys couldn¡¯t beat her.¡± Ma Yun said angrily, ¡°You don¡¯t know, but this Zhang Yansheng¡­¡± As soon as the words ¡°Zhang Yansheng¡± fell into her ears, Zhang Qi ¡®puffed¡¯ out a mouthful of milk tea. After coughing, she wiped her mouth clean with a tissue and asked, ¡°Who?¡± ¡°Zhang Yansheng.¡± Ma Yun asked, ¡°Why, Senior Sister, do you know her?¡± ¡°She is the thorn?¡± Zhang Qi rubbed her temples. ¡°Yes, yes.¡± Zhang Qi said: ¡°Then you¡¯d better not provoke her.¡± Ma Yun: ¡°¡­Why?¡± ¡°Because¡­¡± Zhang Qi felt a headache, ¡°She is my younger cousin.¡± Ma Yun: ¡°¡­¡± In Ma Yun¡¯s heart, it seemed that a thousand grass and mud horses were whistling past. After the last meeting of the student union at the end of the semester, everyone is going to have one last meal together. Zhang Yansheng received a call from a guy who was obviously her boyfriend: ¡°Huh? You¡¯re coming to pick me up? You¡¯re done so early today? The student union will have dinner together¡­¡± The president heard it, smiled, and gestured to her: ¡°Invite him to go with us.¡± Is it the legendary boyfriend who gave away a luxury car worth 10 million yuan with one shot? Everyone¡¯s eyes lit up. ¡°Yansheng, ask your boyfriend to have dinner with us together.¡± ¡°I haven¡¯t seen your boyfriend yet!¡± Yue Song¡¯s laughter had already come from the phone, which means that he had obviously heard them. ¡°I feel so old now.¡± He said, ¡°This feeling of youth can only happen in school.¡± ¡°Since you have heard it all, then come with us.¡± Zhang Yansheng was also happy, ¡°Where are you? At the entrance of the school? South gate? Then wait for us there, and we will go out now.¡± Everyone put on their coats one after another, and they all wanted to hurry up and see what boyfriend a rich and beautiful Zhang Yansheng looked like. Ma Yun took her boyfriend¡¯s arm and whispered to him: ¡°I¡¯m telling you, don¡¯t have any expectations.¡± Boyfriend: ¡°?¡± Ma Yun whispered, ¡°Didn¡¯t I tell you? She is Zhang Qi¡¯s cousin. Rich people like them are engaged in business marriages. The family has the final say on who they will marry. Even if the opponent is ugly and blind, there is no way to oppose it. Such a pity¡­¡± She looked at her boyfriend, who was 180cm in height, his appearance can be counted as handsome, and he was still young. This boyfriend of Zhang Yansheng, who can give a sports car worth 10 million yuan, you can guess how old he is. Seeing the excitement on the faces of the girls, she wondered how disappointed they would be later. She also thought that although she is not as rich as Zhang Yansheng and not as beautiful as Zhang Yansheng, she has true love anyway. It¡¯s so sad that some people doesn¡¯t even have the right to decide who to fall in love with. In this kind of life, there is nothing but money¡­ Anyway, isn¡¯t he rich? Later on, she will take the lead to make Zhang Yansheng¡¯s boyfriend pay the bill! While thinking about it, they had already walked to the entrance of the school. In the night, she can¡¯t believe that she¡¯s seeing that person again. The bright light shone on the tall young man. She hasn¡¯t seen him for almost a year now, right? He didn¡¯t come to school much since his senior year. She heard someone saw him here, but Ma Yun was out of luck and never saw him once since then. She can only see him occasionally in her dreams. After not seeing him for a long time, he seemed to have become more mature. His face is more handsome, his gaze is deeper, and his demeanor is calmer, and he doesn¡¯t have the slightest student aura at all. He stood in the light wearing a black coat, and the bridge of his tall nose cast a slight shadow on his cheeks. Light and shadow cut his face three-dimensional, perfect like the prince in every girl¡¯s dream. Ma Yun almost screamed, but fortunately she suppressed it. She put aside her boyfriend¡¯s arm and rushed over, so excited that she was incoherent: ¡°Yue, Senior Brother Yue! You, why are you here? Did you come to school for work?¡± ¡°It¡¯s been a long time since I saw you.¡± Yue Song smiled, ¡°I¡¯m here to pick up my girlfriend.¡± ¡°Oh! You are here to pick up your girlfriend!¡± Ma Yun finished speaking happily, and found that her tongue gradually began to stiffen, ¡°Then your girl¡­ friend¡­ girlfriend¡­ yes¡­¡± Yue Song has already stretched out his hand: ¡°Yansheng!¡± Zhang Yansheng stepped forward, came over and took his hand. Yue Song smiled and said to Ma Yun: ¡°This is my girlfriend. She is also in the student union and is still a newcomer. Please take care of her as a senior sister.¡± Ma Yun didn¡¯t know what expression was on her face at the moment. Fortunately, the boys in the third year came over and squeezed her away. ¡°Senior Brother Yue!¡± ¡°Long time no see, Senior Brother!¡± ¡°F*ck, Senior Brother, you are actually Yansheng¡¯s boyfriend!¡± The seniors, including the president and department heads, happily caught up with Yue Song. The freshmen didn¡¯t know Yue Song, so they asked one after another: ¡°Who is he?¡± The junior year brothers and sisters have all worked with Yue Song in the student union. Although the sophomore year brothers have not worked together, they all know Yue Song. They solved the confusion for the new people: ¡°That is Senior Brother Yue, he graduated last year.¡± ¡°He is the previous student union president.¡± ¡°I didn¡¯t expect that he¡¯s actually Yansheng¡¯s boyfriend.¡± The freshman girls all had shining eyes: ¡°So, this Senior Brother Yue is the boyfriend who gave the luxury car worth 10 million yuan, right?¡± When they were reminded of this, the seniors suddenly reacted: ¡°Crap! If you didn¡¯t mention it, we would have forgotten about this!¡± Everyone whispered to each other: ¡°Is Senior Brother Yue¡¯s family so rich?¡± ¡°I think so, I used to be able to feel it a little bit, so I guess the conditions at his home are not bad.¡± ¡°Hey, ¡®not bad¡¯ and being ¡®rich¡¯ are not the same thing.¡± After recounting the past, the president said, ¡°Senior Brother, let¡¯s go and have dinner with us. Today is the last dinner of this semester.¡± Yue Song agreed, ¡°Okay.¡± Everyone moved. Yue Song held Zhang Yansheng¡¯s hand. The two of them were really a pair of dreamlike couples under the light of the night. People can¡¯t move their eyes away. When passing a black car on the street, Yue Song said to the driver standing by the car: ¡°Go back, don¡¯t wait for me.¡± The driver nodded in response, and drove the car first. Maybach. All right, that proves that senior brother Yue is really from a wealthy family! Ma Yun was dumbfounded and was dragged away by her boyfriend. ¡°Okay, you.¡± The boyfriend babbled to her, ¡°Stop looking, it¡¯s not yours to look at again.¡± The boyfriend is also a junior student and he is also familiar with Yue Song. When Yue Song was in school, he was a grass-level figure in the school. Which girl doesn¡¯t like him? His girlfriend is also one of senior brother Yue¡¯s fans. However, this kind of liking is actually just a fascination similar to star chasing and falling in love in reality are two different things. If you really talk about love, you will choose someone not in that way. So, the boyfriend is not jealous either. It¡¯s just that his girlfriend looks a bit silly and embarrassing. Everyone went to the restaurant where they often have dinner near the school. The meal they ordered today was extremely rich. As a graduate senior brother, Yue Song answered many curious questions and inquiries from his younger brothers and sisters, told them about the current job market, analyzed the pros and cons of postgraduate entrance examination and employment, and suggested that they should not blindly follow, or should make more appropriate choices based on their own circumstances. In the end, there was no need for Ma Yun to heckle. It was Zhang Yansheng¡¯s boyfriend who paid their bill. After all, he is a rich man. CH 144 During the Spring Festival in the previous years, Zhang Yansheng would go to her grandmother¡¯s house to visit relatives at most. As for the other relatives, they all went to Zhang¡¯s house. For the first time this year, Zhang Yansheng also needs to go to Yue¡¯s house. First, Yue Song came to her grandmother on the second day of the Lunar New Year to celebrate the New Year. This is also the first time since the two of them made their relationship public last summer. ¡°Your house is really lively.¡± He said to her grandma, ¡°My grandfather envied this the most, but our family is so small, so there is no way to have this.¡± Yue Song was just talking about the atmosphere, and he didn¡¯t mean anything else. But usually, when other elders hear this kind of thing, they always half-jokingly say something like ¡®have a few more children in the future¡¯. Only her grandma is a different elder, so she didn¡¯t say it. She just said: ¡°This only happens now as they have all grown up. I¡¯ve had some headaches for a few of their little quarrels in the past few years.¡± Everyone laughed. Even Zhang Qi tugged at the corners of her mouth, but Zhao Lanfen didn¡¯t smile. Zhang Yu touched her lightly with his foot silently, so she barely squeezed out a smile. But she was still uncomfortable in her heart and it was blocked when she saw Yue Song¡¯s existence. Obviously, it was Qiqi from their family who knew Yue Song first, and it was Qiqi who was interested in Yue Song first¡­ Zhang Huan also asked, ¡°Won¡¯t Qiqi¡¯s boyfriend come to visit for the new year?¡± Zhang Qi hurriedly said, ¡°Second uncle, I don¡¯t have a boyfriend.¡± Zhang Huan was surprised: ¡°What about the youngest son of Luo Mingyi¡¯s family before? You already broke up?¡± ¡°We didn¡¯t break up.¡± Zhang Qi firmly denied, ¡°He¡¯s never been my boyfriend, just a classmate.¡± ¡°It¡¯s the opposite for young people, they just have fun together if they have a good time.¡± Zhao Lanfen said lightly, ¡°There is no such thing as having a boyfriend or not having a boyfriend. Don¡¯t be so feudal.¡± ¡°Sister-in-law is right.¡± Zhang Huan smiled, then turned to Yue Song and said, ¡°Accompany me and your uncle for a drink later.¡± Yue Song agreed. Zhao Lanfen¡¯s heart was even more blocked. It¡¯s just a relationship. It¡¯s another matter whether they get married or not in the future. Why is her brother-in-law so affectionate when he is not yet his father-in-law? The old lady also smiled: ¡°Qiqi, hurry up and bring your boyfriend to show Grandma. You are still the older sister.¡± Zhang Qi said angrily: ¡°Grandma~ I am in the transition period now. From school to company, I just want to concentrate on doing things. I will talk about distracting things like falling in love later.¡± Zhang Heling is now in the first year of middle school. She has grown up and can listen to this kind of talk if she is obedient. She rolled her eyes quietly when she heard these words. She looked at her sister again and found her sitting next to big brother Yue, clasping their fingers with both hands, as if she hadn¡¯t heard the words there. The two of them were whispering next to each other. There was a smile at the corner of her mouth and affection flowed in her eyes. Ahhh, I really want to fall in love~ Zhang Yansheng went to Yue¡¯s house on the third day of the new year. Sure enough, compared with the Zhang family, the Yue family seemed deserted. Yue Song¡¯s parents ran away after seeing Zhang Yansheng on New Year¡¯s Day. It¡¯s just that it¡¯s the Spring Festival now and they¡¯re back again. They must come back for this holiday and can¡¯t leave the old man alone for the holiday. A family with a total population of only four people, because it has been passed down for three generations, there are not even a few relatives. The relatives of Yue Song¡¯s grandmother side also basically stopped coming there because his grandmother passed away early. There is also his maternal uncle¡¯s family. The Uncle Xue family and Xue Xintong also came, and Zhang Yansheng, at any rate, added some popularity to the deserted Yue family. It¡¯s just that she didn¡¯t see Yue Song¡¯s legendary eldest cousin who was very unsuccessful. ¡°So basically, I know why this kid always looked deserted before.¡± Xue Xintong said to Zhang Yansheng, ¡°Since he was a child, he has been staring at the old man without knowing what to do. The house is empty and there is no one else here, so he has grown up into a popsicle.¡± ¡°I can hear you!¡± The old man said, ¡°This stinky girl is talking badly about me!¡± Xue Xintong complained: ¡°You are talking nonsense. How could I dare? If I want to talk bad about you, then I have to say it secretly.¡± Everyone laughed. Zhang Yansheng finished laughing and asked Xue Xintong, ¡°When will Big Sister give birth?¡± Xue Xintong touched her stomach, with a satisfied light in her eyes: ¡°In May.¡± Uncle Xue cast a glance over and his eyes were a little helpless. Yue Song¡¯s parents glanced at each other and said nothing. Zhang Yansheng noticed something strange, and asked Yue Song on the way home: ¡°What¡¯s wrong with Big Sister Xue? I don¡¯t think their expressions are right earlier.¡± Yue Song shrugged: ¡°Everything is okay, but the old people are more conservative.¡± He paused and said, ¡°My sister is not married and we don¡¯t know who is the father of the child. She went to M Country to buy sperm.¡± Zhang Yansheng remembered that the year she died, there was a heated discussion online about an unmarried woman who went to Country M to buy sperm. But she hadn¡¯t paid attention to Xue Xintong, who only showed her face in the media as an entrepreneur. There were no reports of this kind of private matter. It¡¯s still quite new for this kind of thing to happen to herself and to people who are involved with her. She asked: ¡°Does she not believe in marriage?¡± ¡°She is mainly too busy.¡± Yue Song said, ¡°Plus, at her age and with her identity, to fall in love, it now depends much on fate.¡± It is really too difficult for a strong woman with experience, mature age, and a rich net worth to find someone to fall in love with in China. Not to mention Xue Xintong¡¯s background, it is very difficult for women who are strong and work hard in the ordinary workplace, and who already have some ranks to get married. Because the aesthetics of Chinese people are inherently low in age, they are biased towards young women rather than mature women, and towards gentle women rather than strong women. Of course, these strong women have to be worthy of them. But Xue Xintong¡¯s pregnancy was another bloodshed in the Xue family. Xue Xintong¡¯s eldest brother was entangled in gambling and drugs, and he is basically a waste, so Uncle Xue handed over the business empire of the Xue family to Xue Xintong to take over. In the early years, the eldest son of the Xue family would still make trouble and wanted to fight for property, but he just doesn¡¯t want to dwell on these unpleasant things now. ¡°She is not married and has no children. In the future, this business will belong to my son sooner or later!¡± He said triumphantly, ¡°She is just working for my son.¡± This eldest brother can¡¯t do anything else, but he is very good at having children. He gave birth to four children in one breath, two sons and two daughters. He feels that he has made a huge contribution to the continuation of incense to the Xue family. Such a great hero! He often said this, so his children have learned about it too. Then one day, his son said it in front of Xue Xintong and the others: ¡°You are working for me and the Xue family belongs to me.¡± Xue Xintong only smiled at the time and touched her silly nephew¡¯s head lovingly. But she turned around, flew to M Country, bought sperm, and became pregnant when she got back. She also told Uncle Xue: ¡°Don¡¯t worry, he has black hair and black eyes.¡± Uncle Xue¡¯s mood at the time was very complicated. In his heart, although he gave up his son, he still has feelings for his grandson after all. He feels that in the future, the family business will return from the hands of his daughter to the hands of his grandson, and it will be the right way. However, this plan was completely overthrown in Xue Xintong¡¯s hand. This time, it was another mess. For the sake of the tranquility of the family, Uncle Xue sent his son and daughter-in-law abroad, so they could not be seen during the Spring Festival. ¡°Well done!¡± Zhang Yansheng¡¯s eyes flashed as she spoke. Yue Song laughed. ¡°My uncle accepts this matter now anyway. As for what he thinks in his heart, he can¡¯t control it.¡± He said, ¡°From our family¡¯s side, I definitely want my sister to protect her own interests. No one wants her to work hard all her life and make wedding clothes for others. Anyway, my mother firmly supports my sister and she never liked my eldest cousin.¡± ¡°Of course, you have to support Big Sister.¡± Zhang Yansheng said, ¡°Why let that kind of person enjoy her achievements?¡± ¡­¡­ Zhang Yansheng celebrated her 19th birthday in April, and Xue Xintong gave birth to a baby boy in May. In June, the Xue family gave the child a grand banquet for his one-month-old celebration. Zhang Huan and Zhang Yansheng were both invited to participate. At the banquet, it could be seen that Uncle Xue¡¯s attitude seemed to have changed. He loves this newborn child very much, as if he was a grandfather for the first time. And when he was holding the child, he did call himself ¡®grandpa¡¯. This child has no father and his surname is Xue. Although he is his daughter¡¯s son, he is directly adopted as a grandson. Zhang Yansheng also heard someone whispering about the child having no father at the banquet, so she cast a cold glance. When talking, these people felt her line of sight, so they stopped. After all, there are too many people, and they don¡¯t know who is related to whom, and there is no need to have enmity. Zhang Huan greeted Yue Song¡¯s parents modestly. Xue Xintong¡¯s mother passed away due to illness a few years ago. As an aunt who is very close to her, Yue Song¡¯s mother has been back to China since April to take care of her. It was also the first time that Yue Song¡¯s parents and Zhang Huan met. As the man¡¯s parents, they behaved more enthusiastically. Zhang Huan¡¯s modesty was also reasonable, and everyone was very happy to talk to each other. Zhang Huan said to Zhang Yansheng on the way home: ¡°Xiao Yue¡¯s parents are living a fairy life. There is Old Man Yue above and Xiao Yue below. The two of them don¡¯t worry about anything.¡± ¡°You can also retire if you are envious.¡± Zhang Yansheng said. ¡°Then I¡¯ll retreat now.¡± Zhang Huan said, ¡°But what would the three of you do if I retire, you¡¯ll have nothing to eat and drink. Let me tell you, Qiqi is now by your grandmother¡¯s side and she is doing well. Oh, I¡¯m really in a hurry, why did you just go to college! Hurry up and graduate early.¡± ¡°Who told you to give birth to me late?¡± Zhang Yansheng said, ¡°And why blame me?¡± ¡°Besides, my grandmother is still healthy. What do you want me to fight with Sister Qiqi? You and uncle are still there, so it¡¯s not my turn to fight with Sister Qiqi.¡± Zhang Yansheng said, ¡°You should really fight with uncle. Also, if I decided to fight, it would not be with Sister Qiqi, it should be with Zhang Shuocheng, right?¡± ¡°What nonsense are you talking about?!¡± Zhang Huan said angrily, ¡°What are you going to fight with you brother and sister? Shouldn¡¯t you love your younger brother and sister since you are the eldest sister? Don¡¯t worry, Dad will make the property division clear in the future, so you don¡¯t have to fight. Everyone is a family that loves each other.¡± ¡°It¡¯s as if my grandma can¡¯t figure this out. Don¡¯t worry, my grandma knows everything in her heart. Besides, my grandma is the one who would really decide to choose as her successor, and it was not up to you or me to decide it for her.¡± Zhang Yansheng returned his words. ¡°You¡¯re saying nonsense again. Your uncle and I don¡¯t have any disputes, we are also brothers. In our family, I¡¯m telling you, there will be no such thing as a fight for inheritance.¡± Zhang Huan vowed, ¡°Dad and your uncle will set a good example for you. In the future, you, Hehe, and Shuoshuo will do the same.¡± Zhang Yansheng also knew that he was actually fighting for favor habitually. She had heard her grandmother say that Zhang Huan had been like this since he was a child. Of course, fighting for favor in front of the old lady will undoubtedly be beneficial to the future distribution of inheritance, so it cannot be said. Zhang Qi has the advantage of age and entered the family business earlier than Zhang Yansheng, which is natural. However, the Zhang family has been together for three generations. Unlike the Xue family, where the dispute between the brother and sister has intensified to that extent, but the Zhang family is peaceful. Zhang Yansheng went to school steadily, step by step. In a blink of an eye, another Spring Festival and another birthday had passed. Zhang Yansheng is now 20 years old. This is the legal age for women to get married as stipulated by the state. CH 145 Yue Song¡¯s second marriage proposal was chosen when the passion was fierce. Although the experts say that love can only last for eleven months, in fact, as long as the hormones are still there, love is still there. With the fingers intertwined, the beloved one said those words in her ear. Zhang Yansheng closed her eyes tightly and the tide surged. At this moment, Yue Song kissed her ears in a hoarse voice with a slight gasp, and whispered, ¡°Yansheng, let¡¯s get married¡­¡± Zhang Yansheng almost agreed. At this moment, the cellphone rang, interrupting them. It¡¯s very late at this time, and most people don¡¯t call at such a late time. But when they do, usually something important is really happening. It was Zhang Yansheng¡¯s cellphone that rang. Yue Song panted for a few seconds, reached out to help her bring the cellphone, and glanced at it: ¡°It¡¯s Hehe.¡± Zhang Yansheng took it and answered the call, and Zhang Heling¡¯s cry came from the cellphone: ¡°Sister! Sister, come back soon!¡± Zhang Yansheng said in a deep voice, ¡°What happened?¡± Zhang Heling cried and said, ¡°Dad is going to divorce Mom¡­¡± Although her rebirth did bring some butterfly effects, this sudden change was still unexpected. Why would Zhang Huan divorce Liang Yingying? No¡­ Zhang Yansheng¡¯s mind turned quickly at this time, what would happen after Zhang Huan and Liang Yingying divorced? Zhang Heling was crying: ¡°Sister¡­¡± She usually pretends to be cold like her elder sister, but when she encounters something like this, she reveals her true form and has no backbone. Zhang Yansheng sighed: ¡°I got it. I will go back now.¡± After hanging up the phone, Yue Song had already put on his pants: ¡°I will accompany you there.¡± ¡°No need.¡± Zhang Yansheng found her clothes and put them on her body, ¡°My dad may not want to see you at this moment.¡± This is human nature. Yue Song nodded: ¡°Okay, drive carefully.¡± Zhang Yansheng supported herself on his shoulder and stood on tiptoe, quickly kissed him, walked out quickly, grabbed her bag, and left. With his upper body naked, Yue Song pushed open the floor-to-ceiling glass door. Outside was a wide terrace overlooking the night view of K City. The night breeze in June was a bit cold, but Yue Song¡¯s heat hadn¡¯t dissipated, and he still felt dry, and it was blowing just right. He lit a cigarette, pressed against the railing of the terrace to smoke, and looked down. After a while, he saw a car coming out of the basement exit from a distance, and he could faintly hear the roar of the engine. It should be Zhang Yansheng. Yue Song exhaled a mouthful of white smoke. That call came at a bad time. Zhang Yansheng returned to their house and found that the house was in a mess. As soon as she entered the door, there was a man lying on the floor of the entrance hall, his head and face were covered with blood, and he curled up in pain. Zhang Huan¡¯s two bodyguards stood there holding their fists. Zhang Yansheng was surprised. After a closer look, that person turned out to be Driver Zhou. Zhang Yansheng thought of the reason why Zhang Heling called herself back¡­ She paused and asked, ¡°Where is my dad?¡± The bodyguard said, ¡°In the study.¡± Zhang Yansheng glanced at Driver Zhou and went upstairs. Outside the study room, Zhang Heling and Zhang Shuocheng were leaning on the door and looking at the crack, faintly hearing Liang Yingying¡¯s cry and Zhang Huan¡¯s cursing. Zhang Yansheng shouted: ¡°Zhang Heling!¡± Both Zhang Heling and Zhang Shoucheng turned around and saw that it was her, and the two younger ones seemed to have found their backbone. Zhang Heling ran over, crying: ¡°Sister¡­¡± Zhang Shuocheng also had a panic on his face. Although he is not small anymore, he is only a fifth-grade kid after all. If you really encounter a major event, you will be helpless. Zhang Yansheng asked: ¡°What happened?¡± Zhang Heling took time to tell her: ¡°It was because Aunt Wang stole father¡¯s watch¡­ But she told my mother that she had nothing to do with it¡­ So, I called the police¡­ The police took us all away. Dad went there directly from the company. When we came back, Dad and Mom were going to divorce¡­ Also, he asked someone to beat Driver Zhou¡­¡± What a mess, why is she even talking about Aunt Wang being involved here? Zhang Yansheng said in a deep voice: ¡°Don¡¯t cry, make it clear, what the hell is going on?¡± Zhang Heling wiped away her tears, controlled her emotions, and talked again. Zhang Yansheng finally figured out what was going on. First, Liang Yingying suddenly yelled that Zhang Huan¡¯s million-yuan watch was missing. Liang Zheng stole Zhang Huan¡¯s watch once in her previous life. This did not happen in this life. Zhang Yansheng thought it would never happen again. She didn¡¯t expect it to happen at this time. When the watch disappeared, Liang Yingying accused the suspicious aunts aggressively. The aunts have no culture or legal awareness. In order to prove their innocence, they searched everyone¡¯s beds and cabinets one by one. As a result, the watch was hidden in Aunt Wang¡¯s pillowcase, it was revealed after shaking the pillow. Aunt Wang¡¯s complexion changed at that time, and she insisted that she hadn¡¯t stolen it. Liang Yingying said high-sounding words to the effect that Aunt Wang had taken care of Zhang Shuocheng over the years, intending to leave her some decency, and talk to her in private. She sent the others away and closed the door to talk to Aunt Wang alone. But she did not expect that Zhang Heling, a middle school student, had legal consciousness and knew that she should call the police. When Liang Yingying closed the door to talk privately with Aunt Wang, Zhang Heling called the police. The amount involved was as high as one million, and the police came quickly. Liang Yingying¡¯s expression changed when she saw the police, and she told them that everything was fine. But for such a high amount, the people involved have the relationship between the employee and the employer, and there are multiple personal testimonies. The police will not just let it go, despite her saying that everything was fine. In the end, including Zhang Heling, as the person who made the report, they were all taken to the police station. As the owner of the watch and the father of the child, Zhang Huan also received a call from the police, and he went there directly from the company. Zhang Heling thought that this was a simple theft. She never expected that there would be such a development afterwards. The watch was not stolen by Aunt Wang, because it was planted by Liang Yingying. Liang Yingying wants to get rid of Aunt Wang¡¯s extortion. Liang Yingying was lonely in the empty boudoir, and Driver Zhou was full of trivial things after his marriage. These two people often came into contact and hooked up together. They used to take Zhang Shuocheng out to play as a cover. In fact, it was Aunt Wang who would look after Zhang Shuocheng outside, while Liang Yingying would find an excuse to disappear with Driver Zhou for an hour or two. This happened so many times that it can¡¯t be hidden under Aunt Wang¡¯s eyes. Aunt Wang felt that it was profitable and kept asking Liang Yingying for money. Liang Yingying gave her money since the amount was small at the beginning, but the person¡¯s appetite only got bigger and bigger, and Aunt Wang wanted more and more at a time. Liang Yingying finally felt that she couldn¡¯t stand it anymore and wanted to end it with Aunt Wang. She planted Aunt Wang for stealing, and Aunt Wang suffered a secret loss. The two closed the door to negotiate. Liang Yingying promised to give Aunt Wang the last sum of money, and Aunt Wang will resign and leave. Otherwise, Liang Yingying would send Aunt Wang to jail for stealing. Aunt Wang didn¡¯t have any sense of the law. Although she knew Liang Yingying had set her up, she was frightened by her, so she felt that it was time for her to stop. The two of them had already negotiated and made a settlement after closing the door, and never wanted Zhang Heling to call the police! The amount involved in the case was very huge. When she arrived at the police station, Aunt Wang was shocked when she heard the police say that. She was so scared that she yelled out on the spot: ¡°Liang Yingying set me up! She was shameless and fooled around with the driver, afraid that I would tell her husband!¡± Twice or thrice, she confessed everything. Although Liang Yingying had planted the crime, she chose to settle in private and did not call the police. It was not enough to make a false report to the police and frame someone. Zhang Heling didn¡¯t know the truth of the matter, so she called the police as a normal thing to do, and it was not considered a false police report. But Aunt Wang¡¯s extortion was a fact, so she confessed, and she confessed herself of doing it. Finally, Zhang Huan took Liang Yingying and Zhang Heling home, and when they came back, she asked the bodyguards to clean up Driver Zhou. Liang Yingying knelt down and begged for mercy, but it was useless. Zhang Huan wanted to divorce her. Zhang Heling was horrified and called Zhang Yansheng. It was purely because she was in a hurry to get some rescue, so she didn¡¯t have time to think about it. The one who hated Liang Yingying the most in this family was actually Zhang Yansheng. Zhang Yansheng didn¡¯t expect such a change in this life. Although Zhang Huan had some women outside in her previous life, he wouldn¡¯t be too indifferent to Liang Yingying. Liang Yingying also had a pretty good time at home, and there was no incident of adultery and stealing, not to mention Aunt Wang¡¯s extortion. These things really start with a thread, and when they are picked up, they are already a string connected together. She looked at the two frightened little ones and said, ¡°You two, go back to your rooms first.¡± Zhang Heling wanted to speak, but Zhang Yansheng said, ¡°You are just adding chaos here. You can¡¯t control the adult¡¯s affairs. Go back.¡± She went over and knocked on the door, and when Zhang Huan asked ¡°Who¡±, she didn¡¯t answer and just pushed the door open. Zhang Shuocheng asked Zhang Heling: ¡°Can eldest sister keep Dad from divorcing Mom?¡± Zhang Heling hesitated for a while and said, ¡°I don¡¯t know.¡± Her mind was a little clearer now, only to realize that she really didn¡¯t know if their eldest sister would speak for their mother. After all¡­ A look of panic and blankness appeared on Zhang Heling¡¯s face again. Zhang Yansheng opened the door. Instead of sitting on the desk, chair, or sofa, Zhang Huan actually sat down on the coffee table with a golden knife. Liang Yingying knelt at his feet with tears in her eyes and snotty nose, begging bitterly: ¡°Forgive me this time, please¡­¡± Seeing Zhang Yansheng, Zhang Huan said unnaturally: ¡°Why are you back? Didn¡¯t you say that you won¡¯t be back today?¡± Zhang Yansheng was speechless: ¡°Everything has come to this here and you still don¡¯t expect me to come back?¡± Zhang Huan snorted. Seeing Zhang Yansheng, Liang Yingying had probably never missed her so much in her life. She got up and rushed towards her: ¡°Yanyan! Yanyan!¡± Zhang Yansheng didn¡¯t want to make any physical contact with her. As soon as Liang Yingying flashed her body, she missed and rushed into thin air. But before she fell down, Zhang Yansheng shot like lightning, grasping her arm, and abruptly pulled her. Liang Yingying took the opportunity to climb on her: ¡°Yanyan! Yanyan! Help me talk to your father! Yanyan! If I leave, Hehe won¡¯t have a mother!¡± ¡°Shut the f*ck up! Let go of Yanyan!¡± Zhang Huan stood up and cursed at her with his fingers, ¡°You still have the face to mention Hehe!¡± Liang Yingying wanted to say more, Zhang Yansheng flicked her arm, she staggered and almost sat back down, hanging for a long time before stabilizing and not falling. ¡°You, go out.¡± Zhang Yansheng said to her, ¡°Let me say a few words to him.¡± Liang Yingying bit her lip and looked at Zhang Huan. Zhang Huan put one hand on his waist and waved the other vigorously: ¡°Go! Get lost!¡± Liang Yingying moved her steps and walked out, turning her head and muttering, ¡°Think about Hehe¨C¡± When she was gone, Zhang Huan pulled her neckline and cursed, ¡°D*mn it!¡± Zhang Yansheng¡¯s voice was cold, and she went straight to the point: ¡°After divorcing Liang Yingying, who do you plan to marry? That little starlet who can¡¯t get popular?¡± Zhang Huan was caught off guard and became embarrassed. CH 146 Sexual loyalty is not an important thing to Zhang Huan or to his marriage. In comparison, Zhang Heling and Zhang Shuocheng are much more important. When Zhang Huan considers his marriage, he has to consider many other factors, but sex comes next. For Zhang Huan, Liang Yingying stealing a man was actually something that could pass with a blind eye. However, he is choosing to divorce now. When Zhang Yansheng heard it, she knew that this man was having wicked ideas again. ¡°She doesn¡¯t have a good fortune.¡± Zhang Yansheng said, ¡°Why do you want to go ashore and be kind?¡± In the past two years, Zhang Huan has invested a lot of money in this young starlet. She has filmed four or five TV series. With a beautiful face and a good figure, she just can¡¯t get good fortune no matter what. Maybe she really doesn¡¯t have that fate. ¡°What are you talking about? Your words are so unpleasant.¡± Zhang Huan muttered with dissatisfaction. But he did not deny it. ¡°Do you really have to divorce Liang Yingying?¡± Zhang Yansheng asked, ¡°She doesn¡¯t hinder you from having a mistress outside.¡± ¡°Leave, she definitely has to leave.¡± Zhang Huan said firmly, ¡°I am tired of her now. When I think of her being in this house, I don¡¯t even want to come back.¡± It can be seen that he is determined not to want Liang Yingying anymore. ¡°Then make an agreement with her for alimony.¡± Zhang Yansheng said, ¡°She is Zhang Heling and Zhang Shuocheng¡¯s mother. Don¡¯t let her go back to her old business for money and do anything embarrassing.¡± ¡°You¡¯re right!¡± Zhang Huan¡¯s fingers clicked in the air, ¡°Yes, yes, she can¡¯t embarrass Hehe and Shuoshuo, but I also can¡¯t give her too much. A small amount is enough for her! Let me think about it¡­ how much is suitable for her?¡± Suddenly, he found that Zhang Yansheng was silent, Zhang Huan raised his eyes and saw that Zhang Yansheng was looking at him. The gaze was inquiring, as if studying something unknown. ¡°What¡¯s the matter, why do you look at Dad like that?¡± Zhang Huan was uncomfortable. Zhang Yansheng stared at her father. He looks much younger than most of his peers at this age, probably because he has everything a man dreams of ¡ª wealth, status, mansion, luxury car, and children ¡ª everything. If there is another love from a young woman, it will really match the gods. Zhang Yansheng said, ¡°Sometimes, I don¡¯t really understand you. Why do you like getting married so much?¡± It was really Liang Yingying who got lucky when she was let in. The original partner passed away. It is not difficult to understand that she gave birth to a son and a daughter for this man. But Zhang Huan is at this age now, and if he divorced Liang Yingying and still wanted to get married, Zhang Yansheng would really be puzzled. ¡°What¡¯s wrong with that? Well¡­ men want to have a wife and women want to have a husband.¡± Zhang Huan gradually couldn¡¯t speak and admitted, ¡°Well, she¡¯s always making trouble¡­¡± Zhang Yansheng¡¯s statement was in vain. Unlike Xu Lichen¡¯s father, who is an iron-hearted scumbag, Zhang Huan is actually a f*cking scumbag with a tender heart! He couldn¡¯t bear the little starlet¡¯s crying and hanging herself, but he could leave Liang Yingying dying by herself and would even send her off, so he finally made up his mind to change his wife for this reason. Therefore, when a man reaches a certain age, his old house is prone to fire. Zhang Huan didn¡¯t meet this little starlet in her last life, so he didn¡¯t have to take action. But he encountered her in this life and he got caught in this fire. From this point of view, this little starlet is a much more troublesome person than Liang Yingying. Because Zhang Yansheng is now living at this age, what she wants is not her father¡¯s love anymore, but real benefits. She has to consider how much impact and loss of benefits a new woman who is valued by Zhang Huan will cause once she enters this family. The original good stability of the situation left Liang Yingying to do nothing. However, the fact that a young starlet whom she had never met could have such a great influence on Zhang Huan made Zhang Yansheng feel deeply vigilant. People always have to defend their own interests. Zhang Yansheng said, ¡°How old is she? Just a few years older than me, right? Smart enough to get you divorced. She is really worthy of being born in the entertainment industry, so I really can¡¯t underestimate her.¡± Zhang Huan also defended the little starlet: ¡°Don¡¯t keep talking about people like that. She is also a decent little girl, and she doesn¡¯t want to be shady without a status.¡± ¡°A little girl who wants to marry an old man like you is what you call decent? So, I guess, I shouldn¡¯t be looking for Yue Song then, I should be looking for Grandpa Yue, right?¡± Zhang Yansheng sneered. Zhang Huan was unhappy: ¡°How can you treat me like an old man?! Besides, she doesn¡¯t want me to do anything, she just wants to be dignified.¡± He gathered his hair to touch it. Well, his hair is still thick, not bald at all. Their Zhang family does not have the gene for baldness. ¡°Please have some little self-awareness. Since she¡¯s a good girl like you said, then why should she be with you? Isn¡¯t it good for her to be with a guy of the same age? But instead, she wants to be with a man who can be considered as her own father, is it because you are still full of energy or because you move too fast?¡± Zhang Yansheng was bitterly sarcastic. Zhang Huan¡¯s face couldn¡¯t hold back: ¡°Why is it the older you get, the more you can¡¯t speak well! You¡¯re full of nonsense.¡± ¡°She just wants to be famous, right? So why would you give her a status?¡± Zhang Yansheng said, ¡°Isn¡¯t it to get the right of inheritance? So, when you die, she¡¯ll get the money.¡± ¡°I don¡¯t know how patient she is, but can she wait until your life is over?¡± Zhang Yansheng said, ¡°It doesn¡¯t matter if her patience is okay. Anyway, the most difficult thing is to prevent the person you¡¯ll share your pillow with from killing you. She can find good ways for you to die like drowning you in the bathtub while you¡¯re drunk or pushing you off a cliff.¡± Zhang Huan was horrified and shouted, ¡°Yanyan! Don¡¯t talk nonsense, how can you think of people so badly!¡± ¡°Or else what?¡± Zhang Yansheng said indifferently, ¡°In the good old days, will you just watch this little starlet running on the basketball court while waiting for your death?¡± ¡°If she doesn¡¯t even have this ambition, how can she go out and marry an old man whose daughter is almost the same age as herself?¡± ¡°Can you let your own mother fight to marry an old man who doesn¡¯t want children? Can this kind of person be true, kind, beautiful, innocent, and sweet?¡± ¡°When the old things have new developments, you¡¯ll feel dizzy, right? Think about where Xu Lichen¡¯s father is now. If a woman is ruthless for money, something will happen to the man.¡± Xu Lichen¡¯s mother is Zhang Huan¡¯s least favorite type of woman. He secretly complained to Zhang Yansheng several times, thinking that she was too cruel. ¡°Don¡¯t blame women for being cruel. If a woman can be cruel like this, she is either driven to a desperate end by a man, or she is provoked by a man¡¯s ambition.¡± ¡°Do you want to give her a status? Have you ever thought that from the day she got her status, from the day she became Mrs. Zhang and had the right to inherit, it was the beginning of her looking forward to your death day and night?¡± ¡°Just like back then, you let Liang Yingying give birth to Zhang Heling and gave her hope.¡± Zhang Yansheng raised her eyes, which were a little red and hostile, ¡°Since then, Liang Yingying has been looking forward to my mother¡¯s death every day.¡± Zhang Huan was stunned. ¡°So, of all the things¡­¡± Zhang Yansheng still gritted her teeth after years of events, ¡°This is what I hate the most.¡± There was silence in the study. Zhang Huan¡¯s lips moved slightly, trying to say something, trying to justify something, but he couldn¡¯t say anything. Zhang Yansheng suddenly turned around and strode away. As soon as she opened the door of the study room, she found that someone was eavesdropping outside. It was not Liang Yingying, but Zhang Heling. She was caught off guard, too late to escape, too late to hide. Her palm-sized face was pale and white, with tears in her eyes. Zhang Yansheng held the door handle and, on the doorstep, the two sisters looked at each other, both got stiffened there. Zhang Heling suddenly turned around and ran away. Zhang Yansheng paused, and then went to Zhang Heling¡¯s room. The door of the room was concealed, and Zhang Yansheng pushed it open and walked in. Zhang Heling was lying on her bed, her face buried in the quilt, her shoulders shrugged, and she was crying silently. Zhang Yansheng walked over and sat by her bed without speaking. Zhang Heling cried for a while, and her mood stabilized. Although she didn¡¯t look up, she knew that Zhang Yansheng was sitting by the bed. She sniffed and asked in a muffled voice, ¡°Sister¡­ Do you¡­ hate me so much?¡± Zhang Yansheng said, ¡°What I hate is this matter itself.¡± Zhang Heling sat up; her tears flowed down again: ¡°But if I was not born¡­¡± ¡°Are you that capable? Can you control whether you will be born or not?¡± Zhang Yansheng sneered. Zhang Heling wiped away her tears, but her tears flowed down again, and it took several wipes to wipe them clean. ¡°I¡­ I occasionally thought of it when I was a child and I always felt that it¡¯s not right.¡± She said, ¡°When Shuoshuo and I came here, your mother died not long after, but we were both a few years old already. At that time, I knew that something was wrong. Later on, I finally figured it out when I was in the sixth grade¡­ It turned out that I was a child of a mistress.¡± She shed tears again: ¡°I asked my classmates what would happen if their father and his mistress had children. Everyone said that they would definitely kill the children of the mistress. The children of the mistresses shouldn¡¯t have been born. They deserve to be killed¡­¡± ¡°No one can decide how they are born themselves. If I can decide for myself, I will definitely not choose to be born in this family, and you definitely don¡¯t want to be born from a mistress.¡± Zhang Yansheng interrupted her and said, ¡°I used to believe in the theory of original sin, but I didn¡¯t believe it anymore. Later on, I learned that if a person makes different choices, he will go a different way and become a different person. What matters is not whose child you are, but what kind of person you are.¡± It¡¯s a pity that most people can only live once and have no chance to start over. While making the right choice sounds easy, it is often so difficult in reality. When you realize how wrong your choice was, you¡¯ll find that there is no regret medicine being sold in real life. Zhang Heling listened to her, hugged the pillow, and began to sob and cry. ¡°Then, Dad and Mom, will they divorce?¡± She cried so much that her snots flowed out. Zhang Huan had planned to divorce from the beginning, but did not cover the matter. There was such a mess downstairs, the police, aunts, and bodyguards all knew what happened. This marriage is definitely going to end in divorce. Zhang Yansheng said, ¡°You can¡¯t control the adult¡¯s affairs. It¡¯s useless to cry and beg.¡± Zhang Heling understood, she hugged the pillow and started crying again. When Zhang Yansheng walked downstairs, she saw Liang Yingying sitting on the stairs in a daze. Seeing her coming down, she stood up awkwardly. Zhang Yansheng didn¡¯t look at her, but glanced at the ground. Driver Zhou was still curled up on the ground, the blood on his face began to clot. This person has also worked in their house for several years, and he is regarded as a senior employee. He got married in her senior year in high school, and Zhang Yansheng gave him a big red envelope at that time. In a blink of an eye, he hooked up with Liang Yingying, a pseudo-rich woman. What exactly is marriage? Why on earth do people want to get married? Zhang Yansheng didn¡¯t want to stay in this house for another moment. She drove back to Yue Song¡¯s apartment, and as soon as she opened the door, she felt that the atmosphere was completely different. It¡¯s clean and the air is particularly fresh. Yue Song heard the sound coming out of the room inside. He was wearing soft and close-fitting home clothes, and his whole body was clean and different from that of a middle-aged greasy man. ¡°You¡¯re back?¡± He walked over to her, ¡°How are the things at your home?¡± Zhang Yansheng rushed into his arms. Yue Song opened his arms, hugged her, and heard her say softly, ¡°Yue Song¡­¡± ¡°Let¡¯s not get married, let¡¯s just stay in love.¡± Yue Song knew that this was her response to his second marriage proposal. CH 147 As soon as Zhang Huan planned to divorce, he didn¡¯t cover Liang Yingying and Xiao Zhou¡¯s affairs, and everyone knew that this marriage would end to divorce. Liang Yingying knew that there¡¯s no hope for her future and wanted to imitate the scene in the M drama, so she found a lawyer to fight a divorce lawsuit and divide the assets. When the lawyer saw this case, he knew that it was a case that could not be won, but he still cheated Liang Yingying of lawyer¡¯s fee. Liang Yingying didn¡¯t get anything, paid the lawyer¡¯s fee in vain, and still got a divorce. Liang Yingying knew that she couldn¡¯t beat Zhang Huan, and she was completely paralyzed. But on the contrary, Zhang Huan handled everything and told her: ¡°I bought a house and put it under Hehe¡¯s name, and you can live there. I¡¯m letting you keep your car and I will give you 20,000 yuan living expenses per month. You should not play any tricks nor do anything disgraceful. You better leave some face for your daughter and son.¡± Liang Yingying covered her face and cried, ¡°What can I do with 20,000 yuan? It¡¯s not even enough to buy a bag! Tell me, how can I live with that?!¡± Zhang Huan sneered: ¡°If you want to buy a bag, you can buy a bag, that is if you have the status of Mrs. Zhang. Since you don¡¯t want to be Mrs. Zhang, I am now setting you free. I am kind enough. If it weren¡¯t for Hehe and Shuoshuo, you and that one with the surname Zhou, won¡¯t be able to see the sun tomorrow.¡± Liang Yingying was afraid, so she packed her things, drove her Ferrari, and moved to the house prepared by Zhang Huan. It is not big, with a three-bedroom of more than one hundred square meters, which is the size of the master bedroom of the Zhang family. Liang Yingying thought that in the future, she could only live a tight life on a living expense of 20,000 yuan a month, and she regretted it. Zhang Huan successfully sent Liang Yingying away. The little starlet knew that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for her, so she tried her best to become Mrs. Zhang, but Zhang Huan hesitated. While he was still hesitating, a guest came to the company to visit him. It¡¯s not someone else, it¡¯s the kid, Xu Lichen, whom he hasn¡¯t seen for a long time. Zhang Huan was surprised: ¡°Why are you here? I heard Yanyan say that you went for filming in M Country?¡± ¡°The location over there has been cleared.¡± Xu Lichen said with a smile, ¡°Well, Uncle Zhang, I heard that the dead wood1¿Ýľ·ê´º ¨C Dead wood meets spring, a Chinese idiom, which means that withered trees meet spring and regain their vitality. It is a metaphor for a dying patient or thing to regain vitality. has met the spring, so I came to see you on purpose!¡± With that said, he respectfully placed a gift box, which is about the size of a shoe box under his arm, in front of Zhang Huan. Zhang Huan pointed his fingers across the air: ¡°If you don¡¯t know how to use idioms, don¡¯t use them blindly!¡± He was curious about the big gift box in front of him: ¡°What is this?¡± Xu Lichen said respectfully: ¡°This is a gift to congratulate you on your rebirth. Why don¡¯t you open it to see?¡± Zhang Huan¡¯s hands were itchy, but he still opened it in the end. A box full of Viagra. Zhang Huan: ¡°¡­¡± ¡°F*ck you¡­¡± Zhang Huan picked up a box of Viagra and threw it at Xu Lichen. Xu Lichen, who has been trained in fighting, is very dexterous. As soon as he stretched out his hand, he took it one after another, grinning: ¡°Don¡¯t be angry. We are so familiar with each other; I am not an outsider to you. If you don¡¯t fix that empty head and brain, then I¡¯ll give you practical reasoning.¡± Zhang Huan stretched out his hand across the table and pointed at him: ¡°You kid¡­¡± ¡°Uncle, don¡¯t be angry.¡± Xu Lichen grabbed his finger and said affectionately, ¡°I heard that the Little Aunt is only 25 years old. Is that right? I actually slept with a 25-year-old lady last month. Aye, the next day, my back and my legs were sore! I thought for a while, at uncle¡¯s age, how can you afford it? I am a junior, so I don¡¯t have to think about what the elders think, and I am anxious about what the elders are anxious about¡­¡± ¡­¡­ ¡°My dad didn¡¯t kill you?¡± Zhang Yansheng was speechless. ¡°How can he? Uncle likes me. I just looked at him cursing and swearing, didn¡¯t they all go to the drawer in the end?¡± Xu Lichen laughed loudly. He deeply feels that he is a caring nephew who forgives the unspeakable secrets of middle-aged and elderly men. ¡°But uncle is not too frightened either.¡± Xu Lichen said, ¡°So I talked to him about my dad, and he didn¡¯t even look right.¡± Zhang Yansheng only pulled the corners of her mouth. Then suddenly, she raised her hand and beckoned to the distance. Xu Lichen turned his head and saw Yue Song rushing over, so he complained: ¡°You are so busy, hurry up and start serving, I am going to starve to death. Look, I have already eaten all the snacks!¡± ¡°Sorry.¡± Yue Song called the waiter and told him to serve the food. He picked up a glass, and asked, ¡°What are you talking about?¡± ¡°We¡¯re talking about Uncle Zhang.¡± Xu Lichen then turned to Zhang Yansheng and said, ¡°If you really don¡¯t want Uncle Zhang to marry again, it¡¯s simple. I¡¯ll offer myself. Isn¡¯t it Nie Xiaohan? I¡¯ll go and sleep with her. I guess that Uncle Zhang will be too embarrassed to marry then.¡± He spoke with arrogance, as if he had rolled up his sleeves in middle school to help his brothers fight. Yue Song almost choked on a mouthful of water! Zhang Yansheng stared at him. ¡°Don¡¯t be embarrassed.¡± Xu Lichen waved his hand, ¡°Whoever shares brotherhood with me, I am willing to give my body, it¡¯s nothing big!!!¡± Yue Song stuffed his mouth with dim sum: ¡°Shut up before she gets mad.¡± He turned his head and asked Zhang Yansheng, ¡°Has Uncle made up his mind?¡± ¡°Who knows.¡± Zhang Yansheng said, ¡°He is an old man already and I have already told him my opinion. You can¡¯t just chase him every day and ask if he wants to get married, right? He is not a 3-year-old child. If he really wants to get married, even my grandmother can¡¯t stop him.¡± But Zhang Huan still didn¡¯t make up his mind. Nie Xiaohan¡¯s youth and beauty made him feel young and happy. He is indeed very obsessed with her. But recently, he doesn¡¯t know what happened. Every time she was either coquettish or secretly hinted that she wanted him to marry her, he always unexpectedly thought of Zhang Yansheng¡¯s words ¡ª When Zhang Huan hugged the young and beautiful girl, it would give him some chills. It was as if at that moment, under the collagen-filled face, a ghost face with bloody fangs suddenly appeared. Zhang Huan still remembers that one day in the past, he did happen to hear Liang Yingying, who gave birth to an illegitimate child, complain to Aunt Wang: ¡°Why is the one in his family still alive! Just hurry up and die! Still occupying the seat for no reason!¡± Zhang Huan knew this was not good to hear, but he was not particularly angry at the time. There is still no filial son before the bed of a long illness, not to mention the closest relatives and estranged couples. Don¡¯t look at the fact that his wife passed away later. He often remembered her, recalling those good times, and weeping before and after. But at that time, when his wife was sick, he came home and saw the weak body in the wheelchair, the haggard face, the bald head¡­ Feeling the passage of vitality is almost visible to the naked eye, it is indeed an unpleasant or even disgusting thing. Even sometimes, when he saw her haggard face, the thought of ¡®Why are you still alive?¡¯ would flash in his heart. The young girl in her arms raised her face, her skin was smooth and delicate, full of collagen. The light of admiration flashed in her eyes and her tone was full of longing: ¡°I want to be with you forever and I want to give you many children. Zhang Huan, do you agree?¡± Zhang Huan stared at her for a while and patted her face. ¡°You are still young, you don¡¯t understand, marriage is the tomb of love.¡± He sighed leisurely, ¡°Creatures like children are all debts.¡± Nie Xiaohan: ¡°???¡± Zhang Huan had a solemn conversation with Zhang Yansheng. ¡°You have to promise Dad that in the future that you will take good care of Hehe and Shuoshuo.¡± He said solemnly, ¡°You have to fulfill the responsibility of an eldest sister.¡± Zhang Yansheng was silent for a long time and asked, ¡°Are you¡­ terminally ill?¡± ¡°Ahhh! Bah!¡± Zhang Huan was going to die of anger, ¡°Are you my own daughter? Is there anyone who curses his own father like this? Children¡¯s words carry no harm, Children¡¯s words carry no harm!¡± Zhang Yansheng was also furious: ¡°If you don¡¯t have a terminal illness, then why are you saying your last will?!¡± Even for her, her heart contracted for a moment just now. Although it was only for a moment, it was f*cking uncomfortable! Zhang Huan rolled his eyes in anger. It took a long time for his mood to get better, then he patted the table and said, ¡°I just want to tell you that if you promise me that you will take good care of Hehe and Shuoshuo in the future, then I promise not to marry again and I will have vasectomy! I will not give birth to new younger brothers and sisters for the three of you to divide the property!¡± The room was suddenly quiet. ¡°Why?¡± After a long time, Zhang Yansheng pulled the corners of her mouth and smiled sarcastically, ¡°You no longer want to marry that decent girl?¡± ¡°Marry what?¡± Zhang Huan forcibly restrained himself, ¡°I have thought about it, she is still so young, and she will definitely not be able to accompany me to the end. I won¡¯t delay her either. It¡¯s great for us to be unmarried and she can marry anyone in the future. I just keep up with her first, there is really no need to get married. What¡¯s so good about it?¡± Zhang Huan sincerely didn¡¯t want to get married at this moment. It¡¯s not that Zhang Yansheng¡¯s cursing words brainwashed him. On the contrary, he has lived to such an old age, has seen humanity, and understands the ugliness under those beautiful faces, so he deeply understands that Zhang Yansheng is telling the truth. If Nie Xiaohan really became Mrs. Zhang, she would probably look forward to his death just as Liang Yingying looked forward to Zhang Yansheng¡¯s mother¡¯s death. She might even use some methods like Xu Lichen¡¯s mother. Every time he thinks about it, he will have nightmares at night, and his neck feels cold when he wakes up. Get married? Tie a knot! What¡¯s so good about it! Wouldn¡¯t it be good to let his Xiaohan stay in this beautiful state forever? ¡°Did you hear me?¡± Zhang Huan patted the table with dissatisfaction, ¡°Is it possible to make this deal?¡± Zhang Yansheng held her chest and looked at him for a long time, speechless. Zhang Huan patted the table louder: ¡°Hey!¡± Zhang Yansheng raised her chin: ¡°Deal.¡± She stood up and left, not forgetting this sentence: ¡°You have to do the vasectomy as soon as possible, and don¡¯t let any children come out there.¡± The matter of vasectomy really makes men unhappy. They always feel as if some great ability has been sealed. Zhang Huan¡¯s face was terrible, he mumbled: ¡°It¡¯s all debts!¡± In a blink of an eye, it was December, and the north wind whistled and snowflakes floated. Zhang Yansheng is in her junior year and is already the president of the student union. Just after presiding over the daily meeting of the student union, she unexpectedly received a call from Zhang Shuocheng. ¡°Eldest sister, can you come back now?¡± Zhang Shuocheng¡¯s voice was suppressed very low, with a surreptitious feeling. Zhang Yansheng asked: ¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡± Zhang Shuocheng hesitated for a moment and told her: ¡°Second sister was beaten. But she won¡¯t let me tell you.¡± Zhang Heling was beaten? Zhang Heling was beaten! Anger burst at the top of Zhang Yansheng¡¯s head! ¡°Who did it?¡± She asked sharply. ¡°It is¡­¡± Zhang Shuocheng¡¯s voice lowered, ¡°My mother.¡± ¡°Where is she? At home? Wait, I¡¯ll go back now!¡± Zhang Yansheng hung up the call. Liang Yingying, you motherf*ck*r! CH 148 Enchantress13-17 minutes 29.04.2022 The girl in the third year of middle school already has the silhouette of a big girl. Although she loved to imitate Zhang Yansheng since she was a child and portray a look of like a royal sister; but the older she gets, the less royal sister she becomes. Because Zhang Yansheng¡¯s eyebrows and eyes are naturally heroic, while Zhang Heling is born soft and beautiful, clean and fresh. The more she grows up, the more distinct this difference is visible. When Zhang Yansheng got home, Zhang Heling was going down to the first floor to change the ice pack and apply it to her face. She was stunned when she saw her sister, so she turned around and fled! ¡°Stop right there!¡± Zhang Yansheng shouted. Zhang Heling has grown up now and she is so courageous that she dared to disobey her sister¡¯s orders. She thumped and fled to the second floor, trying to escape back to her room and close the door. However, Zhang Yansheng headed upstairs so fast and caught up. She was about to kick the door open, but thought that the door couldn¡¯t be involved in this. Zhang Yansheng pushed the door in, pinched her chin, removed the hands that¡¯s covering her face to take a good look. There is a clear slap mark on her fair cheek. Zhang Yansheng¡¯s fire rushed up: ¡°She did this?¡± Zhang Heling bit her lip. Zhang Yansheng let go of her, turned around, and walked out. Zhang Heling hugged her: ¡°Sister! Sister! You, don¡¯t go¡­ sister! Just let me handle it! Sister!¡± After all, they have a mother and daughter relationship. Zhang Yansheng stopped and looked back, then she asked her, ¡°Why did she hit you? Why did she go to your school and find you?¡± Zhang Heling lowered her eyes: ¡°She asked me for money.¡± Twenty thousand yuan could not support Liang Yingying¡¯s life at all. After the divorce, Liang Yingying discovered that she couldn¡¯t afford to keep her Ferrari at all. She can¡¯t afford her previous life at all. Many people can¡¯t bear this kind of fall. For example, Father Xu¡¯s white moonlight jumped off the building when she experienced this situation for the second time in her life. Liang Yingying can¡¯t jump off a building. She also has two children who were born in a wealthy family! ¡°Did you give her money?¡± Zhang Yansheng asked. Zhang Heling nodded and admitted: ¡°She has looked for me before and I promised to give her 10,000 yuan a month.¡± Zhang Yansheng sneered at her: ¡°Why don¡¯t you just be generous and give her all your 50,000-yuan pocket money every month.¡± ¡°That won¡¯t work.¡± Zhang Heling lowered her eyes and said, ¡°She won¡¯t be satisfied, so I have to control the amount.¡± These words finally calmed Zhang Yansheng¡¯s anger. Zhang Yansheng understood intellectually that Zhang Heling is Liang Yingying¡¯s biological child, and it was impossible for her to ignore Liang Yingying completely. Blood ties will never disappear. Liang Yingying had a bad time, and it¡¯s natural for Zhang Heling to help her a little bit. She is able to know how to control the amount of money, which would not allow Liang Yingying to ask more, so Zhang Yansheng calmed down half of her anger. There was a noise at the door, she looked back, and Zhang Shuocheng poked his head against the door frame. Zhang Shuocheng is already 1.76 meters tall on the first day of this year. Just like in her previous life, the boss¡¯ stature can¡¯t be hidden, so he¡¯s particularly ridiculous to do such sneaky things. But unlike in her previous life, Zhang Shuocheng, who has entered puberty in this life, has not gotten any reports of molestation of female classmates or harassment of female teachers. On the contrary, under the supervision of his two sisters over the years, his life has turned around without knowing how, and he has gone from being a naughty boy to being a geek all the way. His room is full of handheld computers and various types of game consoles. He has four or five laptops alone, which are often turned on at the same time. Zhang Yansheng didn¡¯t know what he was actually doing. Anyway, no matter what he does, it¡¯s fine as long as he doesn¡¯t commit adultery, break the law, and commit a crime. Zhang Yansheng just left him alone, and did not restrain him in this regard. ¡°Come in!¡± Zhang Yansheng shouted. Zhang Shuocheng¡¯s fear of her was cultivated from an early age. Now that he is older, he still shrinks when he sees her as he did when he was a child. He came in obediently with his eyebrows drooping. Zhang Yansheng asked, ¡°You just watched your sister get beaten?¡± ¡°I didn¡¯t!¡± Zhang Shuocheng said quickly, ¡°I didn¡¯t expect her to do it either. It was very sudden! Then my sister pushed her down! She got up and wanted to fight back, but I grabbed her and dragged her away!¡± It¡¯s really embarrassing to cause such a scene in front of the school. Liang Yingying cursed and said that Zhang Heling was a white-eyed wolf and gave birth to her for nothing. She also scolded her as a broom star, saying that if she hadn¡¯t called the police blindly, she wouldn¡¯t have fallen to where she is today. The students all pointed their fingers at them, and Zhang Shuocheng couldn¡¯t wait to get into the cracks in the ground. Hearing Zhang Shuocheng¡¯s narration, Zhang Yansheng looked at Zhang Heling. Zhang Heling bit her lip, but said firmly: ¡°It¡¯s not my fault. She divorced because she did something wrong, not because I called the police.¡± Zhang Heling has really grown up and can distinguish between right and wrong. She no longer has the appearance of being brainwashed by Liang Yingying when she was a child and just accepts the unfair treatment she suffered as a matter of course. Zhang Yansheng looked at Zhang Shuocheng again. Zhang Shuocheng put his hand in his trouser pocket and drooped his head, obviously he had no objection as well. On the day of the incident, he hid on the stairs and watched the bodyguards beat Driver Zhou with his own eyes. Liang Yingying knelt down and begged for mercy, and Zhang Huan stood there with his hands on his waist, while he cursed them. He was very impressed. It made him realize that irreversible changes have taken place in this family. The person who was most accustomed to him and doted on him made a mistake and got out of this house. ¡°Sister, leave it alone.¡± Zhang Heling said, ¡°Dad already divorced her, so she has nothing to do with you anymore. Just let me and Shuoshuo handle it.¡± Seeing Zhang Yansheng looking at her, she quickly added: ¡°I was unprepared today, so I was beaten by her. I wouldn¡¯t let her hit me a second time!¡± She understands Zhang Yansheng very well, and her sister can¡¯t see her being bullied. When people grow up, they have to face some things by themselves after all. Zhang Yansheng held his arms, looked at the two of them, and finally nodded and agreed: ¡°Okay, I won¡¯t interfere in this matter. You two handle it yourselves.¡± Zhang Heling nodded quickly and kicked Zhang Shuocheng. Zhang Shuocheng was sluggish, and also let out an ¡°um¡±. ¡°Then I¡¯m leaving.¡± Zhang Yansheng said, ¡°Put an icepack on your face again. If the swelling doesn¡¯t disappear tomorrow, then don¡¯t go to school. It looks ugly.¡± Zhang Heling asked, ¡°Are you not staying at home today?¡± Zhang Yansheng said, ¡°I still have something to do.¡± Zhang Yansheng turned around and went downstairs. In front of Zhang Heling, she said that she would not intervene, but when she got in the car, she called Zhang Huan¡¯s secretary: ¡°Give me Liang Yingying¡¯s address.¡± Liang Yingying was called out to open the door to get the delivery. She also checked and it was true that there was a delivery guy outside. Who knew that when she opened the door, she only saw the back of the delivery guy who had escaped, and it was Zhang Yansheng who was standing blocking the door? Liang Yingying was so scared that she closed the door on the spot. As soon as Zhang Yansheng kicked, Liang Yingying felt a strong force coming from the door, causing her to stagger back. Zhang Yansheng stepped in, without saying a word, swung her arm, slapped Liang Yingying in the face, and swung Liang Yingying to the ground. ¡°You! What are you doing?!¡± Liang Yingying was dizzy and crawled backwards twice while lying on the ground. ¡°This slap is to get back for Hehe.¡± Zhang Yansheng walked over and squatted down, staring at her, ¡°Liang Yingying, who give you the courage to hit Zhang Heling?¡± ¡°She, she was born to me! I am her mother!¡± Liang Yingying said crying. What¡¯s wrong, I can¡¯t even beat my own children anymore? ¡°Apart from giving birth to her, have you ever spent a penny to raise her?¡± Zhang Yansheng said, ¡°Let me tell you clearly, Zhang Heling is a child of the Zhang family, and if you dare to touch her hair, I will return it tenfold.¡± ¡°Do you think that the small amount of money is not enough for you to spend? So, you dared to beat Zhang Heling?¡± She said, ¡°You are so funny. My dad is giving you money now and that is for the sake of giving birth to Zhang Heling and Zhang Shuocheng. Without them, my dad wouldn¡¯t give you a dime!¡± ¡°Why? Don¡¯t I deserve some credits for my hard work? Zhang Huan only sends me 20,000 yuan a month. How the hell can I survive on that?¡± Liang Yingying cried, ¡°I don¡¯t care, Zhang Huan has to add money to me. If he doesn¡¯t give me more, I¡¯ll go to school to make trouble with Zhang He¡­¡± Bang! Zhang Yansheng pressed Liang Yingying¡¯s head and slammed it to the floor! She controlled her power with precision, Liang Yingying would not bleed, but it was enough to make her dazed while seeing the gold stars, and couldn¡¯t get up from lying on the ground. ¡°I know what you think.¡± Zhang Yansheng sneered, ¡°Do you think you are barefoot and not afraid of wearing shoes? You are really so funny. You have been with my dad for more than 10 years, but you haven¡¯t seen through what kind of person he is? Seeing him as someone who usually smiles and gives you money to spend, so you think he is a kind person?¡± ¡°He gave you a meal ticket for the sake of Zhang Heling and Zhang Shuocheng. Now that Zhang Heling is hiding it for you, you would rather let him know that you are tossing his children for money? You can try it and see if he will make you change from barefoot to footless.¡± Zhang Huan¡¯s face turned ruthless, Liang Yingying had seen it before. This man is really nice when he is good, he is not stingy at all, and he spends a lot of money on her. But when he turned his face, he was really ruthless and he didn¡¯t remember any past affection. It just depends on whether you stepped on his bottom line. Liang Yingying was scared. Zhang Yansheng stood up. ¡°Zhang Heling thinks you are a mistress and she is really ashamed of it.¡± She said coldly, ¡°That¡¯s good, so just let her think that way. It is also a decent identity for you.¡± ¡°But don¡¯t let her know that her mother is someone who sells herself for money.¡± ¡°After all, she¡¯s your own daughter, so don¡¯t let her be unable to lift her head for the rest of her life.¡± Zhang Yansheng slammed the door and left, and Liang Yingying¡¯s sobbing voice faintly came from the room. After Zhang Yansheng left Zhang¡¯s house, Zhang Shuocheng returned to his room. Just now, in Zhang Heling¡¯s room, he heard her say that she couldn¡¯t give Liang Yingying too much money. So, he was a little worried. Because Liang Yingying also asked him for money and he directly gave his card to her. Zhang Shuocheng didn¡¯t feel anything at the time. He is different from Zhang Heling. Unlike Zhang Heling, he had once tasted what he wanted but couldn¡¯t get, and under Zhang Yansheng¡¯s guidance, he managed his own small vault and had a very clear understanding of money. Zhang Shuocheng has never been treated badly by Liang Yingying. He has never lacked money for whatever he wants since he was a child. So, when Liang Yingying asked for it, he gave her his card. After all, she is his own mother. But when he heard Zhang Heling¡¯s words today, he was a little uneasy, and he comforted himself that it should be nothing. This self-comfort was shattered when he failed to recharge in a game one day. The recharge failed several times. He checked his online banking and found that¡­ all the money in his card was gone. Zhang Shuocheng was dumbfounded, there were obviously hundreds of thousands of yuan on his account. Zhang Shuocheng finally confessed to Zhang Heling. Zhang Heling was so angry: ¡°How can you give her your card?¡± Zhang Heling had already asked Liang Yingying out to talk, and promised that she and Zhang Shuocheng would give her 10,000 yuan each month. But Liang Yingying didn¡¯t mention that she had already taken Zhang Shuocheng¡¯s bank card. Zhang Shuocheng muttered: ¡°Isn¡¯t she our own mother?¡± Zhang Heling sighed: ¡°She is our mother, but don¡¯t you know what kind of person she is?¡± Zhang Shuocheng was dumbfounded. ¡°She has to adapt first.¡± Zhang Heling said, ¡°Once she gets used to it and when I go to high school and have more pocket money, I can give her more. But you can¡¯t give her more right now, otherwise she will never feel that it is not enough.¡± Zhang Heling took Zhang Shuocheng to report the loss of the card and processed another one. That card is Zhang Shuocheng¡¯s pocket money card. In the past, Zhang Yansheng managed Zhang Heling¡¯s pocket money. When she grew up, Zhang Heling managed Zhang Shuocheng¡¯s pocket money. Zhang Huan liked this model of controlling the big and the small very much, and handed over all the financial power of pocket money to his daughters. Zhang Heling was studious and gave Zhang Shuocheng pocket money a little bit, and he managed it well. On the day when the pocket money was issued for the second month, Liang Yingying found nothing on the card and immediately called Zhang Shuocheng. ¡°My sister said that I can¡¯t give you the card.¡± Zhang Shuocheng said. Liang Yingying was so angry: ¡°Zhang Yansheng?¡± ¡°No, it¡¯s my second sister.¡± Zhang Shuocheng said, ¡°I will obey my sister.¡± CH 149 Yue Song occasionally asked, ¡°Is there something wrong with your ex-stepmother?¡± ¡°Everything is okay, she¡¯s just very naive.¡± Zhang Yansheng said, ¡°I heard Hehe said that she sold her car because she couldn¡¯t afford to maintain it anyway. Now, my dad gives her 20,000-yuan living expenses a month, and her son and daughter give her another 10,000 yuan. Thirty thousand yuan a month is enough to catch up with the salary of the company¡¯s middle and senior management, and there is no need to go from 9 to 5 and be like a 996. If she can¡¯t live with that, then no one can live anymore.¡± Yue Song nodded: ¡°Uncle Zhang is still a very tolerant person.¡± Zhang Yansheng raised his eyebrows and looked at him. Yue Song leisurely said: ¡°I can¡¯t forgive betrayal.¡± ¡°What a coincidence.¡± Zhang Yansheng raised his chin with her index finger, ¡°Neither can I.¡± Yue Song grabbed her hand, the corners of her mouth curled up. But seeing that he seemed to have something to say, Zhang Yansheng was very alert, and leaned over to seal it with a kiss, blocking what he wanted to say. Yue Song paused and grabbed the back of her head. After a few days at work in the company, he became very busy, and old man Yue walked into Yue Song¡¯s office with his hands behind his back. Yue Song didn¡¯t even lift his eyelids. Old man Yue circled Yue Song¡¯s desk and sighed for a long time. Yue Song¡¯s eyelids twitched. Sure enough, old man Yue said with a grudge: ¡°The marketing department boss has his grandson in his arms, and he was so happy that he gave candies to everyone.¡± The old man looked up to the sky and sighed, ¡°I don¡¯t know when I can hold a baby?¡± Yue Song pushed aside the chair, stood up, and opened his arms: ¡°Come here.¡± Old man Yue said angrily: ¡°Who wants to hug you?!¡± ¡°Who else would you want to hug?¡± Yue Song said, ¡°My parents won¡¯t be able to give birth anymore.¡± The old man had a heartache when he mentioned the two people who were spoiled by their families. They both refuse to work and refuse to have more children! What purpose do they have?! The old man hummed: ¡°I want to hug my great-grandson!¡± Yue Song sat back and continued to work: ¡°People should know how to be happy, satisfied, and content. Others have just hugged their grandchildren, but you have hugged yours more than 20 years ago. Others envy you and that¡¯s enough. Don¡¯t keep thinking about your great-grandchildren.¡± Old man Yue knocked on the table: ¡°You are 25 and Yansheng is 21. So, that¡¯s okay, both of you are at legal age now.¡± ¡°Legal¡±, the old man has been talking to Yue Song since Zhang Yansheng turned 20 years old. It¡¯s just that Yue Song warned him severely, so he didn¡¯t dare to talk in front of Zhang Yansheng. The girl had a plan at first glance, but she wouldn¡¯t say it to him. Besides, the girl is a little weird, the old man can¡¯t understand any of them, and they are not even married. The girl from the Xue family was even more desperate. She went abroad to buy sperm to give birth to a child, and she didn¡¯t even know who the child¡¯s father was. The old man can¡¯t understand this world. Young people don¡¯t know what they are thinking. He¡¯s really old, so old. He has no choice but to talk to his grandson. But this kid is such a disappointment, he can¡¯t even handle his girlfriend. Good for nothing! Xu Lichen suddenly called Zhang Yansheng one day: ¡°Do you know who Cai Yan is?¡± This name is really old. Zhang Yansheng has not mixed with them in this life, but she still remembers everyone¡¯s name. ¡°I know her.¡± She said, ¡°She¡¯s from Class 8 at Yi High School, together with Wang Qian and Zou Zihan.¡± ¡°Wow, you know so well, I almost don¡¯t remember this girl.¡± Xu Lichen said, ¡°But you actually still know her.¡± Xu Lichen just talks a lot of nonsense. Zhang Yansheng asked, ¡°What happened to her?¡± Xu Lichen said: ¡°Isn¡¯t my film going to be released during the Spring Festival soon? My buddy in Class 8 is the one I asked about Wang Qian before. When he saw it, he remembered me and told me a gossip. But this all happened last year.¡± ¡°Cai Yan, she was the one who took the lead in squeezing out Wang Qian. Then, coincidentally, she went abroad to study and was in the same city as Wang Qian. Although they do not attend the same school, the Chinese circle is so big that they go round and round, and they still run into each other in the end.¡± He said. Zhang Yansheng guessed it: ¡°Wang Qian retaliated against Cai Yan?¡± ¡°Hahaha, guess how she retaliated? She snatched Cai Yan¡¯s boyfriend. Hahahaha.¡± Xu Lichen just listened to it as a joke, ¡°But then again, it was many years ago. I calculated that one, two, three, four, five, six, it was all f*cking six years ago. This woman is so vengeful. In fact, you said that they were all kids back when we were in high school. In retrospect, they were all stupid.¡± ¡°That¡¯s right.¡± Zhang Yansheng agreed very much, ¡°Especially you.¡± Xu Lichen: ¡°¡­Hey!¡± Six years have passed, and time flies so fast. When Yue Song asked Zhang Yansheng what plans she had for her birthday this year, Zhang Yansheng said, ¡°I don¡¯t have a plan, I just hope to live in peace and well this year.¡± Yue Song smiled inexplicably and rubbed her head: ¡°Which year didn¡¯t you live in peace and well?¡± Zhang Yansheng just smiled. In May, Zhang Yansheng¡¯s newly hired private investigator handed over the tracked photos of Huang Zhe to her. Zhang Yansheng also asked someone to follow Huang Zhe last year, but Huang Zhe in this year¡¯s photos has become different from last year. Compared with three years ago, the young man who was originally full of flesh and blood has become sunken eye sockets, his cheeks have become significantly thinner, and he has begun to suck his cheeks. Just looking at the photos, she felt that the vitality in his body seemed to have been swallowed up by something. Zhang Yansheng showed the photos to Yue Song, and Yue Song sighed: ¡°Everything else is fine, drugs are absolutely untouchable.¡± He asked again: ¡°Is now the right time?¡± Zhang Yansheng said, ¡°Almost there.¡± Yue Song stared at her: ¡°You are the most patient of the young girls I have ever met.¡± Zhang Yansheng tilted her head slightly: ¡°Do you think I¡¯m terrible?¡± ¡°No.¡± Yue Song smiled, ¡°It only shows that you have clear goals and firm execution.¡± He said: ¡°This is very good.¡± Huang Zhe drove to a party. He glanced at the bag placed on the co-pilot, thinking that he would make a fortune at the party later, and couldn¡¯t help but smile. On the way to the suburban villa, a checkpoint was set up to check for drunk driving. Huang Zhe was not worried because he did not drink alcohol. Honestly, he got out of the car to blow his breath at the request of the traffic police officer, but was surrounded by several ¡®traffic police¡¯ officers with extremely sharp eyes. By the time Huang Zhe noticed something was wrong, he was already under their control. The police hardly had to search the car, because the bag was so big and placed on the co-pilot. Anti-drug police dogs were not even used. Huang Zhe was reported to be a drug dealer by an anonymous phone call, and the police seized him in one fell swoop. He also followed the trail and arrested a series of accomplices. The weight of the drugs found has passed the line. In this country with extremely strict drug restrictions, it has reached the standard of the death penalty. Huang Zhe was quickly sentenced to death, with no room for probation. ¡­¡­ In October, the weather got cold. One day, Yue Song asked Zhang Yansheng, ¡°There will be a party the day after tomorrow, would you like to go with me?¡± Zhang Yansheng¡¯s eyes were slightly strange: ¡°The day after tomorrow?¡± She paused, actually she didn¡¯t need to ask, but she still asked, ¡°Where?¡± ¡°Jinding.¡± Yue Song said. After speaking, he suddenly realized something and was a little surprised: ¡°Have you never been to Jinding? I don¡¯t seem to have heard you mention it once.¡± Jinding is a well-known entertainment club that has emerged in K City in recent years. It is a bit strange that young people like Zhang Yansheng have never set foot there. Of course, Yue Song didn¡¯t know that Zhang Yansheng had deliberately avoided this place since Jinding opened. Zhang Yansheng said calmly: ¡°Well, I haven¡¯t had a chance to go yet, but it¡¯s time to go and have a look.¡± On a specific day of the year, Zhang Yansheng accompanied Yue Song to that party. Playing until 12 o¡¯clock in the morning, Yue Song was about to leave: ¡°I have a scheduled video conference with the clients of M Country. It is the afternoon on their side now.¡± He took Zhang Yansheng¡¯s hand and left. In the corridor, the staff recognized this SVIP customer and bowed: ¡°Young Master Yue.¡± Yue Song nodded, took Zhang Yansheng¡¯s hand and continued to walk, but felt that Zhang Yansheng¡¯s footsteps seemed to be getting slower and slower, and it was more and more laborious to pull her away. Yue Song glanced at her strangely, and asked with concern, ¡°Are you tired?¡± Zhang Yansheng shook her head. When passing through Private Room 628, the door suddenly opened. A girl rushed out and stretched out her hand to Zhang Yansheng: ¡°Save me¡­¡± A face with heavy makeup and exquisite hair color. The good-looking face is completely covered by overly thick makeup, so you can¡¯t see the original appearance, nor can you see the traces left on the face by the chaos of life in the morning and evening. ¡°Save me¡­¡± The girl stretched out her hand and asked for help feebly. Zhang Yansheng stared at her. The fingertips with black nails were wiped out the moment they touched Zhang Yansheng. That Zhang Yansheng no longer exists, there is only this Zhang Yansheng in the world now. Yue Song was grabbed by Zhang Yansheng who stopped suddenly. He felt her hand squeeze his hand tightly. After several years of dating, Yue Song had long known that Zhang Yansheng was a strange woman. With her exertion, Yue Song took a breath and turned to look at her. But she saw her looking at the door of Private Room 628. The door of the room opened and a middle-aged man came out. Because as soon as he opened the door, he faced a girl with cold eyebrows, and he couldn¡¯t help being surprised. Only at the second glance did he see Yue Song holding hands with her. He was handsome, cold, and noble. It¡¯s a perfect match. The middle-aged man admired, then staggered away with a beer belly. The door of Private Room 628 bounced back and closed. ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± Yue Song asked. Zhang Yansheng turned her head and let out a long sigh of relief: ¡°I thought I saw someone I knew, but I was wrong.¡± ¡°Oh. Let¡¯s go then.¡± Yue Song raised his hand and glanced at his watch, ¡°Let¡¯s go back and take a bath first, my body smells full of smoke.¡± After the video conference, Yue Song thought Zhang Yansheng was asleep, but found that she was not in bed. He looked for her strangely and found her on the terrace. ¡°Aren¡¯t you cold? The wind is blowing here.¡± He opened the floor-to-ceiling glass door and asked with a smile. The night breeze in October was very cold, but Zhang Yansheng felt very comfortable. She still has wine at hand. She poured Yue Song a glass: ¡°Come on, have a drink.¡± Yue Song smiled and walked over: ¡°You are in such good spirits? Did something great happen?¡± Zhang Yansheng handed him the glass, put her fingers together, pointed from her forehead to the brilliant night sky of the Milky Way, and announced loudly: ¡°Starting from today, I am in line with time.¡± The light in her eyes was amazing, and the smile at the corner of her mouth was incomprehensible. Yue Song sneered: ¡°What a stupid thing to say.¡± Zhang Yansheng raised her glass: ¡°Cheers!¡± Yue Song asked, ¡°What are you celebrating?¡± Zhang Yansheng smiled: ¡°My life. Me and you.¡± ¡°Okay.¡± Yue Song gladly clicked his glass with her, ¡°It is indeed worth a drink.¡± After drinking, she put down the glass, Zhang Yansheng propped the railing with both hands and said: ¡°Come and see.¡± Yue Song also put down his glass cup, walked up to Zhang Yansheng, and put his arms around her: ¡°What are you looking at?¡± ¡°I¡¯m looking at this world.¡± Zhang Yansheng stretched her arms and said in a loud voice, ¡°It¡¯s so big!¡± Although it was already past 4 o¡¯clock in the morning, the landscape lights of the city stayed on all night. Overlooking from Yue Song¡¯s high-rise hidden villa, the sky is wide and the city is bright. Zhang Yansheng said, ¡°But some people, trapped in very small things, can¡¯t break free, and can¡¯t see how big the world is. Her life ended suddenly and she was full of remorse before she died.¡± ¡°That must be a pity.¡± Yue Song said. He glanced at the night view in front of him again. Although it was bright and brilliant, it was¡­ just the daily scenery he would see every day. It¡¯s very ordinary, extremely ordinary. ¡°Have you gone crazy after being drunk?¡± He kissed the top of Zhang Yansheng¡¯s head, ¡°Let¡¯s go inside, go to bed.¡± Zhang Yansheng didn¡¯t know why, but she seemed very happy, leaning on his shoulder, and smiling. Yue Song was helpless, so he leaned over and bent her legs, he hugged her sideways and picked her up. Zhang Yansheng smiled: ¡°You hugged me like this again.¡± Yue Song raised his eyebrows, what did she mean by ¡®again¡¯? He smiled helplessly and scolded: ¡°You¡¯re drunk.¡± ¡°I¡¯m not drunk.¡± Zhang Yansheng put her arms around his neck and looked at him with bright eyes. Yue Song hugged her like this night in this life, but there was no blood on his cheeks, and his brows frowned without worry. His brows and eyes were smiling, and the only thing that didn¡¯t change was his gentleness. In a warm room, on a soft bed, it is transmitted to the skin through the fingertips. On this special day in this life, Zhang Yansheng clasped the fingers of the hands who held her in the previous life. With a gentle lover and hot body temperature, the rhythm of life is like a tide. The stars faded, and the sky turned white as a fish maw. It¡¯s a new day in this life. CH 150 A few days later, it was also a very special day for Xu Lichen. He has been restless since he woke up in the morning, but he doesn¡¯t know why. His gold manager called him and noticed that something was wrong with him: ¡°Hey, are you listening?¡± Xu Lichen suddenly returned to his senses: ¡°I¡¯m listening, I¡¯m listening.¡± The manager was dissatisfied: ¡°Be careful, for a newcomer like you, the opportunity to cooperate with Director Zhang is too rare! Don¡¯t be careless, be serious and attentive!¡± ¡°Of course, I will!¡± Xu Lichen immediately promised, ¡°I just read the script too late last night.¡± Xu Lichen is an unruly and unconstrained young master, but he is not vague about his profession and is willing to work hard. The agent still trusted him at this point and said to him: ¡°Don¡¯t be nervous, relax when the time comes, and play according to your level. I have had a good talk with Director Zhang, and I figured out that what he wants is your type¡­¡± While listening, the manager¡¯s voice became misty again. ¡°Hello? Hello?¡± The manager zoomed in and shouted. Xu Lichen woke up abruptly: ¡°Yes, yes.¡± ¡°Like what I said, what¡¯s the matter with you?¡± The agent said, ¡°Are you really okay?¡± ¡°Maybe I didn¡¯t sleep well.¡± Xu Lichen said. In fact, he didn¡¯t know what was going on. Today, he just couldn¡¯t concentrate and was always in a daze. His state of trance continued into the evening. While he was filming a night scene, during the break, one assistant said to another assistant: ¡°Oh no, an international flight to China has crashed. Half of the people on the plane are Chinese.¡± Xu Lichen turned his head abruptly, stood up, and walked over: ¡°What plane, let me see¡­¡± He almost grabbed the little assistant¡¯s cellphone and clicked into the news headlines. In the news, the origin, destination, and flight number of the plane that crashed¡­ With a ¡®pop¡¯, the phone fell to the ground and shattered the screen. The two assistants were stunned to see Xu Lichen, a tall young man¡­ fainted on the ground. Zhang Yansheng had been lying down and was about to fall asleep, but was awakened by the phone again, so she picked it up in a daze. There was no sound on the other line for a long time, only breathing. Zhang Yansheng rubbed her eyes: ¡°Hello¡­?¡± After a long time, Xu Lichen¡¯s voice sounded over there: ¡°The plane crashed¡­¡± Zhang Yansheng rolled over: ¡°What plane¡­¡± She suddenly stopped! Because just a few days ago, she had just crossed an important time node in her life, and she had crossed her own death point in her previous life. Counting it up, tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, it should be her funeral. In Xu Lichen¡¯s previous life, he flew to China and wanted to attend her funeral. Then he died. Xu Lichen was holding the phone when he heard Zhang Yansheng¡¯s voice over there had stopped abruptly. After a while, she said softly: ¡°I¡¯m doing well here in K City and you are also doing well with your movie filming. We are both alive.¡± Xu Lichen¡¯s heart seemed to be slammed by something! She actually knew what he was talking about when she heard him say ¡®plane crash¡¯! If it was just a dream, how could she take his absurd dream to heart like this and react so quickly? But if that¡¯s not a dream¡­¡­ Xu Lichen felt dizzy. ¡°You¡­ you already know.¡± He said. Zhang Yansheng chatted and said, ¡°I have classes tomorrow. We basically have no classes now, but we have to go to school tomorrow. What are your plans for tomorrow?¡± Facing her calm question, Xu Lichen replied involuntarily: ¡°Tomorrow I will shoot an indoor drama¡­¡± Zhang Yansheng asked, ¡°Is the shooting going well?¡± ¡°Not bad.¡± Xu Lichen said, ¡°As long as the female lead actress doesn¡¯t come, I can only read the lines to the assistant director and perform, and then synthesize the shots later.¡± Zhang Yansheng¡¯s laughter came over the phone. ¡°You are not big enough to be ordered around?¡± She said, ¡°Why don¡¯t you invest yourself and become the first party. Let¡¯s see if that kind of little flower dares to despise you so much.¡± Xu Lichen refused: ¡°That¡¯s boring. It has the same nature as cheating.¡± Zhang Yansheng laughed again. ¡°All right. Don¡¯t think too much.¡± She said, ¡°Everyone is fine. What was supposed to happen didn¡¯t happen, and what¡¯s important is what is happening in real life. Don¡¯t think about the meaningless ones.¡± After a long time, Xu Lichen said ¡°hmm¡± and hung up. After chatting with her for a few words, his mood seemed to calm down a lot. He rolled up his sleeves and looked at his arm. Strong and powerful, the muscles are elastic, and the skin is young and smooth. There weren¡¯t any needle marks, it was totally clean. But what has changed the direction of everything? Obviously, at that time he was already thin because of drug abuse. By the time he died, his mother was still busy fighting his father in the country, and she didn¡¯t care about him at all. Xu Lichen sat on the hospital bed and thought for a long time, and finally figured it out. In contrast to the ¡®dream¡¯, the point of disagreement started when Zhang Yansheng did not enter Class 8 in high school¡­ The point of divergence that turned his life in another direction was Zhang Yansheng. The manager opened the door of the ward and came in, and saw him sitting by the hospital bed, holding the wrist of the other hand in one hand, with his sleeves rolled up high, staring at his bare arm, not knowing what he was thinking. ¡°You¡¯re awake?¡± He heaved a sigh of relief, ¡°What¡¯s the matter with you, it scares everyone to death. The doctor checked and said that he couldn¡¯t find anything wrong¡­¡± Xu Lichen raised his head, with mixed feelings in his eyes. He stood up abruptly, held the manager¡¯s face and with ¡®pop¡¯ sound, he patted it vigorously, and rubbed it again and again. Manager: ¡°¡­¡± The manager was really scared: ¡°Lichen, Lichen, are you really okay?¡± Why does he f*cking look crazy? Xu Lichen sighed: ¡°Big Brother Zhao, you are so real!¡± Manager: ¡°¡­¡± It¡¯s over, he¡¯s gone crazy! He¡¯s starting to talk nonsense! The manager made a gesture to call a doctor, but Xu Lichen stopped him. His eyes were bright and vibrant, and he smiled as usual: ¡°Don¡¯t talk nonsense, who is crazy? I¡¯m starving to death, let¡¯s get out of here and eat. I don¡¯t match the hospital¡¯s fortune.¡± He put his arms around the manager¡¯s neck and muttered as they walked. ¡°Will the leading actress come tomorrow? If she does not, this young master will throw money and change her! F*ck, it¡¯s a big deal to reshoot all the scenes. She can¡¯t be that disrespectful.¡± ¡°I¡¯m starving to death! I¡¯m really starving to death!¡± ¡°Let¡¯s hurry up and eat, then I¡¯ll go home and memorize my lines after eating!¡± ¡°By the way, didn¡¯t I drop Xiao Wang¡¯s cell phone? Pay him a new one tomorrow.¡± ¡­¡­ Autumn is high and dry, and although it is a bit cold at night, it is really comfortable during the day. Zhang Yansheng sat in the courtyard of their home on the weekend, under the blowing of a comfortable wind, looking at the information that her grandmother arranged for her to see. Zhang Huan came over leisurely. ¡°Did you know that something happened to Qiqi?¡± He asked. Zhang Yansheng was surprised: ¡°Something happened? What happened?¡± Zhang Huan said, ¡°Just over the Wushan subsidiary.¡± For the first two years, Zhang Qi has been following the headquarters, studying with Zhang Yu and the old lady. In the past two years, the old lady entrusted a subsidiary company for her to take care of, and she was also called ¡®Director Zhang¡¯ by others. So now, there are three Director Zhangs in the headquarters and they have no choice but to distinguish the seniority. ¡°Didn¡¯t you say that Sister Qiqi has always managed well?¡± Zhang Yansheng was a little surprised. Zhang Huan let out a ¡°heh¡±: ¡°That¡¯s just telling you the good things and not the bad things.¡± He pulled out the outdoor chair and sat down beside her, then told her: ¡°The backbone of the Research and Development Department took the whole team to change jobs.¡± That was a big event. Zhang Yansheng was a little surprised: ¡°Is it that serious? Didn¡¯t Sister Qiqi notice it beforehand?¡± ¡°Qiqi¡­ exerted too much force.¡± Zhang Huan shook her head, ¡°She always wants to behave in front of your grandma, but her style of doing things, she has a bit of¡­¡± It was difficult to describe. Zhang Yansheng paused, and added, ¡°Pull the gang to form a faction? Exclude dissidents?¡± Zhang Huan: ¡°Oh, you know it too?¡± ¡°She was like that, she used to be like that at school.¡± Zhang Yansheng said. When Zhang Yansheng was still in the freshman year and a new member of the student council, she listened to the sophomore and junior senior sisters talk about the former ¡®Senior Sister Zhang¡¯ and listened to it as gossip. As a result, it was only in the end that it was discovered that the so-called ¡®Senior Sister Zhang¡¯ who had set the rule of ¡®not buying and using fake products¡¯ was her cousin, Zhang Qi. After she left the student council, the group of senior sisters in their junior year still had her style of doing things. After all, the people who disobeyed her were squeezed out of the student council by her long before that, and those who stayed were all submissive. When Zhang Yansheng was a student council officer in her freshman year and sophomore year, she often fought with this group of senior brothers and sisters. By the time she became the president in her junior year, she had purged the culture of the student union. ¡°Qiqi, oh, I don¡¯t know what¡¯s going on with her character.¡± Zhang Huan muttered, ¡°I always feel that she¡¯s not so open and bright. It¡¯s strange.¡± He said: ¡°Your grandma asked if she has a boyfriend and she said that she is young now, focusing on her career, and doesn¡¯t want to be distracted by falling in love. I remember she still fell in love when she was in college and even brought her boyfriend out to meet people. What kind of distraction was she talking about? What¡¯s wrong with falling in love? Because she won¡¯t be able to study well?¡± Zhang Yansheng didn¡¯t care: ¡°She¡¯s just like that. Just leave her alone.¡± ¡°Tsk.¡± Zhang Huan crouched up his legs and trembled, ¡°What¡¯s wrong with falling in love? Seriously, at this good age, shouldn¡¯t it be time to fall in love. If you don¡¯t fall in love now, how can you get married and have children in the future? When you are old, will a man just fall from the sky to marry you? Yanyan, I¡¯m just saying, you should have a good talk with Xiao Yue. I think it¡¯s time for you two to get married, have a few more children, and live together.¡± ¡°Dad, I¡¯m telling you, don¡¯t listen to Sister Qiqi. You and uncle are still both here, so it¡¯s not my turn to open the door and set up an account yet. What¡¯s the hurry? Major events in life like starting a family and planning to have children can be left behind.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t worry about me.¡± Zhang Yansheng looked at the documents and said, ¡°If you have that free time, go worry about Zhang Heling. Did you know that she has a boyfriend now?¡± ¡°Huh?¡± Zhang Huan sat up straight, ¡°Hehe has a boyfriend? Why didn¡¯t anyone tell me?¡± Zhang Yansheng calmly said: ¡°Then you should ask how are you, as a father, and whether you care enough about your daughter.¡± ¡°Why don¡¯t I care enough about my daughter? I am attending two parent-teacher meetings alone! Fortunately, the middle school and the high school don¡¯t do it on the same day, otherwise I would have to be proficient in split body skills!¡± Zhang Huan was angry. After he finished complaining, he asked, ¡°How is Hehe¡¯s boyfriend? Is he well-behaved or not?¡± ¡°Not so good.¡± Zhang Yansheng said, ¡°I have seen him twice and I heard him say ¡®My mother said¡¯ twice in half an hour.¡± When Zhang Huan heard this, he immediately rejected him with one vote: ¡°Isn¡¯t that a typical mama¡¯s boy?¡± Zhang Yansheng let out a cry and said, ¡°Guess what your little daughter likes about that boy?¡± Zhang Huan: ¡°Don¡¯t keep me on tenterhooks!¡± Zhang Yansheng was also a little helpless: ¡°She likes that boy because he listens to her.¡± After Zhang Huan was silent for a long time, he changed his words and said, ¡°Well actually¡­ that¡¯s okay.¡± Zhang Yansheng: ¡°???¡± ¡°My daughter, she is not short of money, and she doesn¡¯t expect to rely on the other party to dress and eat.¡± Zhang Huan leaned back and crouched up his legs again, ¡°It is more important to make my daughter happy.¡± Zhang Yansheng: ¡°¡­¡± There¡¯s no way to refute it. If you think about it from this perspective, it seems to be true¡­ Zhang Huan brought the topic back again: ¡°Don¡¯t worry about Hehe, she is still young. From middle school to college, she has to have three, four, five, or six boyfriends. It¡¯s still early for her to get married, so there¡¯s no hurry.¡± He squinted his eyes and asked, ¡°It¡¯s you and Xiao Yue that I¡¯m worried about, what are your plans for the future?¡± Zhang Yansheng covered his face with the documents: ¡°Leave me alone.¡± ¡°How can you talk like that? Can¡¯t I at least be a father and care about you?¡± Zhang Huan said, ¡°Let me tell you, the dowry is ready for you. You can do it anytime and Dad will follow along! In fact, I think it¡¯s good for you to get married after graduation. It¡¯s good to give birth to a child while you are young. Your grandmother is also looking forward to her great-grandchildren. Look at Qiqi, who just keeps doing things and doesn¡¯t want to fall in love. And Xiao Lin, he has a mixed-race girlfriend who refuses to return to China, and your grandmother doesn¡¯t like to see mixed-race people. So, she can only count on you.¡± He is rambling, and there is a tendency for menopause to come. Zhang Yansheng stood up and left before he mentioned her dead mother as a sacrifice and squeezed out a few tears. Two days later, she asked Yue Song, ¡°Did Grandpa urge you to get married?¡± Yue Song touched her head: ¡°I always blocked him, so don¡¯t worry.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t be stressed out about this, it¡¯s up to the two of us to decide for ourselves.¡± He kissed her face, ¡°When you are ready, I will listen to you.¡± Zhang Yansheng didn¡¯t talk about this topic anymore, but she did think about reality. She is with Yue Song, so how will she go in the future? A few days later, Yue Song suddenly received a message from her cousin, Xue Xintong. It was a photo of her taking her child to lunch with Zhang Yansheng. Yue Song was surprised and called: ¡°Why are you two together?¡± Xue Xintong smiled and said, ¡°We are having fun just by ourselves.¡± The cousins chatted casually, and until they hung up the call, Yue Song always felt that Xue Xintong was laughing strangely, and he always felt some ill-intentions from it. The mystery was revealed a few days later. When he went home and opened the door that day, he felt a different atmosphere. Walking from the foyer to the dining room, he was surprised to find that Zhang Yansheng had prepared a candlelit dinner. Of course, it couldn¡¯t be cooked by Zhang Yansheng. The only thing Zhang Yansheng can do is scrambled eggs. In this regard, she is not as good as Yue Song, who can cook a steak. In short, it doesn¡¯t matter if she made it herself or not. Anyway, Zhang Yansheng carefully prepared a candlelit dinner. Yue Song was quite surprised, and asked her with a smile: ¡°What day is it today?¡± Zhang Yansheng¡¯s long hair was scattered on her shoulders like a waterfall, and she only told him: ¡°It¡¯s just a day of me having a good mood.¡± Yue Song smiled. The two had a pleasant meal, and he asked, ¡°You¡¯re going to tell me why you are in a good mood, right?¡± Zhang Yansheng pulled him: ¡°Take a bath first.¡± If the beloved girl sends out such a kind invitation, he will not be a man if he does not accept it. Yue Song happily bathed with Zhang Yansheng like a happily married couple. When he wanted to withdraw and spread it outside at a critical moment, he was entangled by Zhang Yansheng again, so he gave it to her carelessly. Of course, he was happy at the time, but Yue Song was annoyed when he got out of the bathroom. He opened the closet to get his clothes: ¡°You have to take emergency contraceptives, I¡¯ll buy them.¡± Zhang Yansheng lay lazily on the bed and said, ¡°I don¡¯t want to.¡± Yue Song was slightly stunned. Zhang Yansheng rolled over and lay on his side, propped up her head and said, ¡°Today is my ovulation day, which is suitable for getting pregnant.¡± Yue Song¡¯s eyes condensed. ¡°Yue Song.¡± Zhang Yansheng said, ¡°I don¡¯t want to get married, but we can have children.¡± Yue Song¡¯s mind was quick, and he immediately remembered that Zhang Yansheng had suddenly visited Xue Xintong a few days ago. He asked, ¡°So you went to see my cousin a few days ago to¡­¡± ¡°Yeah.¡± Zhang Yansheng wrapped up a bath towel and sat up, ¡°I asked Big Sister Xue to get some inputs about this matter. She shared with me a lot of her experience and gave me advice on raising children. After careful analysis, I think it is feasible.¡± ¡°I¡¯m in my senior year now, and I basically don¡¯t have any classes anymore. This year has been very easy.¡± She became serious, ¡°It¡¯s not on a whim, I¡¯ve thought about it seriously, and I can make good use of this year.¡± ¡°Both our bodies are at the peak of our lives now. In this way, not only will I recover quickly, but the quality of the babies we give birth to is also high. Sister Xue very much suggested that I give birth early and have children early. She regretted that she made up her mind too late, so she did not recover so well.¡± ¡°Yue Song, do you agree? If you disagree¡­¡± Zhang Yansheng looked at him, ¡°Then I will respect your opinion. I¡¯ll go downstairs to buy emergency contraceptives right away.¡± Yue Song thought for a moment. Zhang Yansheng held her breath. Having children is not a matter for her alone, but for two people. If Yue Song is unwilling, she will not make it difficult for others. Because after all, for her, this is just a choice, not a necessary option. Yue Song asked: ¡°You really do not want to get married?¡± Zhang Yansheng was very firm: ¡°Marriage is not a necessary option. I choose not to marry.¡± Yue Song asked again: ¡°Have you considered the reaction of the elders?¡± ¡°This is a choice of the two of us.¡± Zhang Yansheng said, ¡°As long as you agree and support it, I think the two of us can carry everything together.¡± Yue Song had already put on his pants, but he started to unbutton his pants again. Zhang Yansheng: ¡°?¡± ¡°How can you guarantee when I only hit it once?¡± Yue Song said slowly, ¡°I still have to do it a few more times to be sure.¡± Zhang Yansheng covered her face and smiled. It was another hustle and bustle. The young body lived up to expectations and won the bid with one shot. Zhang Yansheng got pregnant and the two people who didn¡¯t plan to get married exploded the two families. Not only did Yue Song¡¯s parents rush back from abroad, but old man Yue also personally called the old lady of the Zhang family and solemnly said: ¡°I want to come to propose marriage.¡± Old man Yue¡¯s attitude made the old lady satisfied, but she said: ¡°Don¡¯t worry about proposing a marriage or something. Let¡¯s meet first, sit down, talk to the children, and listen to what they think.¡± There is no need to follow the wishes of old man Yue. With the children there, just press the two of them to put on wedding outfits and have a grand wedding. They are all willing to have children together, so why don¡¯t they want to get married?! What is in the minds of young people nowadays?! But the words of the old lady of the Zhang family had weight, and old man Yue had no choice but to agree. He didn¡¯t know that Zhang Yansheng had already talked to the old lady alone. The old lady was originally angry with Zhang Yansheng for her nonsense. After all, the old lady¡¯s traditional thinking is to get married and have children first, but after talking with Zhang Yansheng, she changed her mind. Zhang Yansheng was obviously not fooling around; she was very calm. ¡°I don¡¯t want to get married.¡± She said, ¡°Real marriage is more of an economic relationship, and both men and women live together merely to share the cost of living and jointly support the raising of offspring. In a family like ours, whether it is to live or raise offspring, it is not necessary to require the financial support of the other party to carry this out.¡± ¡°The reason for having children is entirely out of eugenic considerations. Yue Song and I will not break up, nor did we have any conflict, we just chose a different way of life. This choice is made out of the common will of the two of us, and it does not hurt anyone else.¡± ¡°Taking advantage of the ease of my senior year, I will finish the matter of having a baby in advance. And after leaving school, I will have more energy to do other things. In the early stage, what I can do is relatively low-level and simple. This also happens to be the stage when children need their mothers to accompany them. When I increase the proportion in my career, my children are already grown up to be able to go to kindergarten and elementary school, and I can leave them. For me, this is a better plan than getting married and having children after leaving school.¡± This plan is contrary to the life plan of ordinary people, but it did impress the old lady. Most importantly, she understood why Zhang Yansheng didn¡¯t want to get married. She could only sigh. Zhang Yansheng took advantage of the victory and pursued: ¡°Grandma, I need you to support me.¡± The old lady sneered at her: ¡°You already have this big idea of yours, so why do you still need the support of my old bones?¡± Zhang Yansheng looked at the ceiling: ¡°My dad is going crazy. When he heard that I am not getting married, he said that he will have to roll up his sleeves and beat Yue Song.¡± ¡°So, if you are idle and have nothing to do¡­¡± Zhang Yansheng sincerely asked, ¡°Move your muscles and bones, beat your son up, and calm him down.¡± Therefore, if you entrust someone to do things, you must put your full trust in the right person. Zhang Huan was going to blow up, but the old lady calmed him down. ¡°Why can¡¯t you think of the reason why Yanyan doesn¡¯t want to get married?¡± The old lady scolded, ¡°She doesn¡¯t want to talk to you about this because she feels sad when she talks about it. Think about Xiao Min, think about Hehe and Shuoshuo. You are a father, but what kind of role model did you set for your children? With a father like you, Yanyan doesn¡¯t want to get married, and I can¡¯t blame her at all.¡± Zhang Huan was scolded by the old lady until he was speechless and could do nothing. He felt deeply wronged, and it was all old things, so why did she take them all out to talk with him again. He wanted to refute, but there is really nothing to refute it. And when he opened his mouth to argue, the old lady beat him up. This is no better than when he was a child. When he was a child, he could dare to run. Now that the old lady is so old, he dares not to run anymore. He can only suffer from being beaten, bearing the pain and screaming exaggeratedly. It was obviously those two little ones who were messing around, so how could he be beaten? Such a bad luck! In the end, old man Yue, Yue Song¡¯s parents, old lady Zhang, and Zhang Huan, these elders all sat together. Sitting on the opposite side of the trial were Zhang Yansheng and Yue Song. ¡°It¡¯s not that you have a bad relationship and you will have children, too. I think you two are also very happy now. But why don¡¯t you want to get married? This is outrageous!¡± Old man Yue was fuming in anger and glared at them. Yue Song was very calm. He has always been a young man who gives people a sense of calmness. Facing such a three-class trial, he is not nervous at all. He said, ¡°I have communicated with you well about the idea of not getting married. This is the choice I made with Yansheng. Our eras are different. Marriage is not a necessary option now, but I hope that you can accept it.¡± Old man Yue pointed to Yue Song and said to the old lady: ¡°Look at this kid, I am going to be so angry with him. Just say it, as long as you speak up, my betrothal gift is ready.¡± The old lady smiled slightly. How could the old lady not see the attitude of old man Yue? Regardless if they get married or not, although it¡¯s not in line with the older generation¡¯s concept, to the Yue family, there is no loss at all. What the old man cares more about is to hug his great-grandchild and fulfill his dream of being together for the fourth generation of the family. The old man made this gesture entirely as part of the man¡¯s family, showing a solemn gesture to the Zhang family, indicating that although the two little ones were messing around, their family never meant to despise Zhang Yansheng. With the face of the two families, it is time to enter the substantive stage of negotiation. The old lady said, ¡°Let¡¯s listen to the children¡¯s thoughts.¡± She gave Zhang Yansheng a chance to speak. Zhang Yansheng was also like Yue Song, neither panicked nor in a rush, and she was very calm: ¡°Grandpa, Yue Song and I have a very good relationship, and we are willing to give birth and raise children together. It¡¯s just that young people like us have different ideas about marriage, and we don¡¯t think marriage is a must. In addition¡­¡± She even understood what old man Yue was worried about better than others, and made it clear: ¡°Our child must be surnamed Yue when he is born.¡± As soon as Zhang Yansheng said this, old man Yue didn¡¯t show it on his face, but he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. His grandson talked to him about not getting married. There is no substantial harm to the Yue family¡¯s interests, and it is actually not that difficult to accept. Especially when his son and daughter-in-law also said that there are also such things happening abroad now. It is just a form of life choice to have children together without getting married. Therefore, the only thing that old man Yue is actually worried about is the right to use his surname. Hearing Zhang Yansheng¡¯s words, he was completely relieved. However, Zhang Huan exploded again. ¡°This is not going to work!¡± He objected fiercely, ¡°Since they are not getting married, of course the child will be with his mother, and our surname will be given to the child!¡± After all, middle-aged people like Zhang Huan still can¡¯t get rid of the traditional value of ¡®the woman who would suffer losses¡¯ in this kind of matter. Especially since he is the woman¡¯s father, this feeling of ¡®suffering¡¯ is particularly heavy. Although he knew that Zhang Yansheng was unwilling to get married, he always felt as if Yue Song had taken a big advantage in this case. Zhang Yansheng glanced at him, and said calmly: ¡°The child¡¯s surname belongs to the parents, and the law stipulates that it can be with either of the parents. The child¡¯s surname is Yue, which I decided already with Yue Song.¡± Zhang Yansheng¡¯s personality cannot be said to be weak. Although she¡¯ll give birth in an unmarried state, she did not want to compete for the right to her surname. After all¡­ she just didn¡¯t want her child to have the same surname as Zhang Huan. As she once said to Zhang Heling, no one can choose their own birth. If she was not reborn, but given the right to choose her own birth, she would definitely choose not to be Zhang Huan¡¯s daughter again. In contrast, although Yue Song¡¯s parents were a little irresponsible and pampered, they did set a better example for the younger generation in terms of marriage. These two people are still slimy and greasy, as if they have just fallen in love. At the same time, in order to thank Yue Song for his understanding and support, she made a decision about the child¡¯s surname a long time ago. The old lady has two grandsons in her own family, so she didn¡¯t care about it at all and suppressed Zhang Huan: ¡°The younger generation has their own ideas. Those of us with old arms and legs should not get involved with them. They are also adults now and can be responsible for themselves. Let them do it according to their own ideas.¡± In front of the old lady, there was no reason for Zhang Huan to talk back. As soon as the old lady spoke, the matter was then settled. Old man Yue said, ¡°Okay, I¡¯ll listen to you. Take a look at this.¡± He pushed the long-prepared transfer agreement over: ¡°Our family cannot treat children badly. This is for Yansheng.¡± The old lady flipped through it, saw the sincerity of the Yue family, and was very satisfied. She also took some documents out: ¡°This is what we gave to the children.¡± In this way, the dowry and betrothal gifts were exchanged. Although there was no wedding ceremony or certificate, the parents of the two already regarded Zhang Yansheng/Yue Song as their daughter-in-law/son-in-law. The atmosphere was very harmonious and friendly, except for Zhang Huan¡¯s stinky face, everyone happily talked about the baby who was about to come into the world. The communication has advanced rapidly, and they have already thought of buying a larger and more spacious residence for the two young couple, asking a nutritionist to regulate the body of a pregnant woman, arranging a hospital, finding the best midwife, and recruiting a real qualified service staff to help in her confinement. One is not enough, at least three¡­ and so on and so forth. Only Zhang Huan bulged like a frog. Zhang Yansheng¡¯s paternal uncle brought home the news of this incident. Because Zhang Qi made a major mistake in her work, Zhao Lanfen and Zhang Qi couldn¡¯t lift their heads recently. Suddenly, both of them breathed a sigh of relief when they heard that Zhang Yansheng was pregnant but is not getting married. Although they feel that they are both out of luck, it seems that Zhang Yansheng¡¯s luck is even worse. She is unmarried and got pregnant first, but she also can¡¯t get married. Only halfway through this breath of relief, Zhang Yu sighed again: ¡°The two children are quite messing around, but the adults are still familiar with things.¡± He told his wife and daughter the content of the betrothal gifts given by the Yue family, and sighed: ¡°They are very sincere.¡± Of course, being able to have such ¡®sincerity¡¯ is also because of having a great family. Zhao Lanfen and Zhang Qi didn¡¯t let go of their breath, and they just returned to their true character again. The adults were worrying about it, but Zhang Yansheng¡¯s body was so healthy that made other people jealous. She spent the first three months without vomiting much during her morning sickness, and it basically didn¡¯t affect her life. She takes classes and goes to the company for internships as usual. Her grandma wanted her to stay at home to raise the baby and didn¡¯t want her to do anything at the company. Zhang Yansheng agreed, turned her head, and went to the gym ¡ª considering the impact of childbirth on her figure, Zhang Yansheng did not intend to interrupt her fitness. She has carefully studied the fitness experience of some female models and actresses at home and abroad during pregnancy, and under the guidance of professional coaches, she has maintained the amount of exercise. When her grandma learned about it, she almost fainted and summoned Zhang Yansheng back. The two negotiated well, and finally Grandma agreed to let Zhang Yansheng do things, and Zhang Yansheng also agreed to reduce the amount of exercise appropriately. ¡°You are just so worried.¡± Zhang Yansheng said, ¡°Look at Secretary Yang of the secretarial desk, she¡¯s almost eight months pregnant now, but she¡¯s still working and keeping her post, right? I asked her and she said that she would never leave her post until the contractions were painful.¡± That is true. Her position is well-paid and Secretary Yang is very worried about being sacked. She will have children in the future, and she needs to make more money for milk powder. She plans to come back to work immediately after maternity leave and be a nursing mother. Grandma rubbed her temples with anger: ¡°I still feel distressed that you are making a mistake here!¡± Although she said that, she also knew that she was also concerned and kind of confused. Ordinary professional women don¡¯t stick to their work with their bulging stomachs, not to mention Zhang Yansheng¡¯s health is so good. In the end, she still let her be. Zhang Yansheng didn¡¯t delay anything in studying, internships, and pregnancy. At the end of summer in the following year, Zhang Yansheng successfully gave birth to a healthy boy. The child is named Yue Yan and Little Stone is his nickname. Little Stone is particularly healthy. He had thick black hair when he was born. His eyebrows, eyes, and nose are too similar to Yue Song. He will definitely be a handsome guy in the future. Both families were extremely happy. Old man Yue quietly said to Yue Song, ¡°Do you want to have a wife? Taking advantage of this, women are soft-hearted at this time, so hurry up and propose to her.¡± Yue Song held his forehead: ¡°Don¡¯t worry about it.¡± Old man Yue muttered: ¡°With so many generations of our family, you are the most worthless, and you can¡¯t even marry a wife.¡± He was completely disgusted. When Zhang Yansheng woke up, Yue Song was sitting by the bed holding her hand. No wonder in her dream, she felt as if she was holding something in her hand. ¡°You woke up, drink some water.¡± Yue Song poured her some water to drink first. Zhang Yansheng was really thirsty, so she finished drinking a glass of warm water from his hand. Yue Song put down the glass and held her hand again: ¡°Thank you for your hard work.¡± He looked at her very tenderly. Although they are still a couple, they seem to be completely different from before after having a child of their own blood. Zhang Yansheng felt something, so she asked, ¡°Do you have something to tell me?¡± Yue Song rubbed her hand for a long time, and said, ¡°I am a very patient person, and I will not lose to you.¡± Zhang Yansheng stared at him. The young and handsome new father smiled slightly: ¡°I will wait until the day you are willing.¡± Zhang Yansheng was silent for a long time, then said softly, ¡°I¡¯m sorry.¡± Her child¡¯s father moved the slightly wet hair on her forehead and told her, ¡°Don¡¯t apologize, this is a decision I made with you.¡± Zhang Yansheng¡¯s body recovered extremely quickly. In fact, when she was pregnant, except for her belly bulging, she remained in good condition in other places. When she got out of confinement, you couldn¡¯t see any traces of giving birth at all, and she was full of young lady¡¯s emotions. Xu Lichen came back to see her and told her one thing. ¡°It¡¯s about Wang Qian.¡± He said. Xu Lichen and Zhang Yansheng have their own lives. Regarding the various things in that ¡®dream¡¯, Xu Lichen has long decided to move on and live in reality. The film and television dramas he participated in when he was in college have become popular and he has become a 100% celebrity. The classmates from Class 8 of K City¡¯s Yi High School met. Everyone discussed it and tried to send him an invitation. Originally, they just tried it, but didn¡¯t expect that Xu Lichen, a big star, would really come, so everyone was very surprised. At the dining table, Cai Yan, who was robbed of her boyfriend by Wang Qian, suddenly mentioned Wang Qian. The others asked, ¡°Wang Qian? Who is she?¡± Most of the classmates don¡¯t remember Wang Qian at all. Wang Qian only spent a short half-semester with them before transferring, and their memory of her had long been blurred. But Xu Lichen¡¯s brows suddenly twitched, and he asked, ¡°What happened to Wang Qian?¡± Cai Yan is very happy that there are still people who remember Wang Qian, otherwise no one knows who Wang Qian is when she talks about it. Isn¡¯t that considered as a night walk in brocade?1 She said: ¡°I was studying in the same country as her. After a while, I suddenly discovered that Wang Qian had disappeared from our Chinese circle. I just found it very strange because she is a person who likes to party so much, so how could she suddenly disappear? I just inquired about it, and guess what, it turned out that she was found to be taking drugs by her family, and her family forcibly took her back to the country to detoxify.¡± Everyone gushed a few times, and let out some irrelevant sighs. Only Xu Lichen raised his glass silently and drank all the wine in it. He turned around and found time to see Zhang Yansheng to tell her about it. ¡°What does it matter to me?¡± Zhang Yansheng didn¡¯t care, ¡°Whatever happened to Wang Qian, it¡¯s none of your business nor mine. Hey, don¡¯t poke him in the face, have you washed your hands?¡± Xu Lichen smiled and went to wash his hands, then he came back to tease Little Stone, and said, ¡°I want to be his godfather!¡± Zhang Yansheng said unceremoniously: ¡°Bring the red envelope first.¡± Zhang Yansheng stayed at home for half a year in order to breastfeed. After giving Little Stone the breast milk, she finally officially joined the family business. As time passed, Zhang Qi learned about Zhang Yansheng¡¯s daily life at the headquarters through various channels, and said to Zhang Yu with some worry: ¡°Why does it feel that Grandma values Yanyan very much?¡± Zhang Yu said, ¡°What nonsense are you talking about?¡± Zhang Qi was aggrieved: ¡°Can¡¯t you feel it?¡± Of course, Zhang Yu can feel it too. He was often at the headquarters, but he didn¡¯t cross paths regularly with Zhang Yansheng and the old lady as expected. So, how could he not notice it? The old lady taught Zhang Yansheng hand in hand. It is really different from the treatment she gave to Zhang Qi. Zhang Yu knew exactly what this meant. In fact, he actually felt that it was full of unpleasantness. But he is a son of Zhang¡¯s family, so he can¡¯t say his opinion. If he wants to say it, the third generation of the Zhang family won¡¯t have any harmony. At the same time, he also had to admit that compared with his daughter, Zhang Yansheng was really much calmer in doing things. She is not conceited nor rash, she is not in a hurry to show off, and she is very steadfast while learning by the side of the old lady. He still remembers Zhang Qi¡¯s eagerness to show off when she first joined the family business. At the time, he told her not to worry that much. But it was useless because she worried too much and was very anxious to show off in front of the old lady. It is particularly obvious that her force is too strong. It¡¯s not that the old lady hasn¡¯t given her a chance. After all, she is the eldest in the third generation. However, Zhang Qi was always unaware that when she was released and given real power, she did not do a good job, leading to turmoil among the staff of the subsidiary. His wife attributed the incident to ¡®bad luck¡¯, but Zhang Yu knew that it was not about luck at all. That is the intensification of contradictions that have reached qualitative changes after the accumulation of behavioral preferences of the upper echelons. Although since then, he has tried his best to instruct Zhang Qi, and she has indeed improved a lot¡­ But obviously, the old lady has other plans in mind now. The relatives of the Zhang family, who worked at Xingnan Group, and some veteran figures in the company slowly noticed it in the following years. In the third generation of the Zhang family, the old lady chose Zhang Yansheng, the eldest daughter of the second son. Gradually, there was a distinction between everyone¡¯s attitude towards Zhang Yansheng and Zhang Qi. Moreover, although it is a private matter, many high-level people have heard of it more or less that Zhang Yansheng gave birth to a child when she graduated from university. That child is the heir of the fourth generation of Qingting Group. This is a strong alliance. In a blink of an eye, Little Stone is already 4 years old, smart, healthy, and handsome. In the kindergarten, there are already little girls fighting over to play with him. The son is handsome, but the father is more handsome. He is also extremely young. The kindergarten teachers all look forward to Little Stone being picked up by the father, so that they can take a good look at the handsome young father. They just sighed: ¡°How can Little Stone be reincarnated like this?¡± A handsome father, beautiful mother, born with a golden spoon. This¡­ is the tenth level of reincarnation skills. Zhang Yansheng is already Xingnan¡¯s ¡®Young Mistress Zhang¡¯. This name used to belong to Zhang Huan, but it belongs to her now. The young mistress Zhang worked calmly, without arrogance or impetuosity, and was very strong. She was highly praised by the veterans of the older generation. The projects she presided over in cooperation with the government this year have achieved outstanding results. Xingnan has applied for her to be selected as one of the ¡°Top 10 Outstanding Young Entrepreneurs in K City¡±. The winning rate is very high. On this day, it has been cloudy since the morning, and the whole morning was held back. As it approached noon, the rain finally fell. It¡¯s not counted as heavy rain, but it is also a heavy rain. Zhang Yansheng went to the National Development and Reform Commission to meet with a leader. After their meeting, she came out and it just so happened that it rained outside and it became a curtain of water while under the porch. Only the employees of the National Development and Reform Commission can park at the internal parking of the compound. They have a yard nearby that is an external parking lot. Zhang Yansheng¡¯s car is parked there. There is still a long way to go to get to her car. Zhang Yansheng rarely encounters this situation. Because most of the places she went to either had underground garages or underdeck parking lots. When the key was lost, there were even dedicated parking guards to help you. This scene can only happen in places like this. Zhang Yansheng stood under the porch and waited for the rain to stop. In boredom, she was thinking of various things in her mind. She thought about the meeting she had just now, if there was anything that wasn¡¯t smooth enough. She thought about the company¡¯s recent funding schedule. She thought of her own private investments. She thought of Zhang Heling, a girl who originally went to study abroad, but was attracted by the publicity of a certain talent show on the street during the summer vacation, so she went to sign up. As a result, she overcame all the obstacles all the way and reached the finals, and was packaged as a ¡®talented girl¡¯. Then she took a break from school and debuted and entered the entertainment circle. Xu Lichen, a young actor who is very popular in the entertainment industry, has the capital and connections. He patted his chest and promised to take care of Zhang Heling and let her participate in his own TV series. As a result, it didn¡¯t take long for him to call angrily, begging Zhang Yansheng in a low voice to take her sister away quickly, so as not to ruin his well-crafted drama. Zhang Yansheng wondered: ¡°Is she that bad?¡± She shouldn¡¯t be. Zhang Heling has a good-looking face, a good temperament, a nice figure, a good hand at playing the piano, and a good knowledge. Compared with the other girls, with high school and secondary school degrees, who debuted in the same talent show, talented girls really deserve the opportunity. So, she shouldn¡¯t be that bad. Xu Lichen looked up to the sky and sighed, ¡°Acting requires talent.¡± Xu Lichen belongs to those who are talented. In contrast, Zhang Heling belongs to those who are not talented. ¡°She is good at singing and dancing, but I would¡¯ve never thought that she would be so ignorant in acting. I f*cking¡­ I originally thought about a small role as the protagonist¡¯s senior sister, and it would be okay for her to show her face, but I never thought that¡­ any footage of her appearing is basically ruined, f*ck me.¡± Zhang Yansheng was even more speechless: ¡°Then you can just tell her, Hehe is very sensible.¡± ¡°I¡¯m also just too sensible, so I could not tell her.¡± Xu Lichen scratched his head, ¡°You don¡¯t know how hard she tried! How serious she was! F*ck me, the director is begging me, he asked me to think of a way! The director couldn¡¯t even bear to tell her directly!¡± In the end, Zhang Yansheng called Zhang Heling. Zhang Heling was relieved. ¡°Actually, I don¡¯t think this is working as well, but no one told me ¡®You don¡¯t need to act anymore¡¯, so I can only stand firm.¡± Zhang Heling was aggrieved, ¡°Why didn¡¯t Big Brother Xu tell me earlier? I actually wanted to leave a long time ago. I don¡¯t like acting very much, I just like being on the stage.¡± Zhang Heling eventually formed a girl group with a few other girls and became a full-time idol instead of an actor. In the entertainment circle, there is Xu Lichen to protect her; and outside the circle, Zhang Heling¡¯s grandmother, father, and sister acted as her backer and benefactor. The best resources are leaning toward her only, so her girl group was in a mess. Zhang Yansheng thought about Zhang Shuocheng. Zhang Huan complained more than once about Zhang Shuocheng staying only in the mansion. He wanted to take him out to meet people, but he refused to go; he wanted to send him abroad to study, but he refused to go either. Finally, the school that Zhang Huan chose for Zhang Shuocheng was the school that Zhang Yansheng went to in her previous life ¡ª in K City. Zhang Shuocheng was willing to go anyway. Zhang Huan always looked for Zhang Yansheng to complain, and at the end of the complaint, he comforted himself: ¡°Do you know the boy from the Li family, he committed a crime and went to jail. Old Li tried his best to get him out, but it was a bit difficult, as the matter is a bit serious. Hey, if you compare it like this, your brother is pretty good, at least he doesn¡¯t break the law or commit crimes.¡± With such self-comfort, he was balanced again. Zhang Yansheng thought about Little Stone, it was time for her to pick him up today. Thinking of the children sitting in rows on chairs, they will stand up when they see their parents appear, and rush into the arms of their parents happily. That little appearance is so cute. Of course, the cutest thing is her own child. Every time he leaves, a bunch of little girls would chase him to say goodbye. There was a smile at the corner of her mouth, and suddenly, a familiar figure was seen in the rain curtain. Slender and tall, with trousers wrapped around his long legs. The black leather shoes were splashed with rain, wetting the hems. The umbrella was raised, revealing a handsome face, smiling at her. Zhang Yansheng was surprised: ¡°Why are you here?¡± Yue Song said, ¡°Just after driving, I saw that it was raining. I remembered that you were coming to the NDRC today. I thought about the parking compound of the NDRC¡­ it was far away¡­ Sure enough, I didn¡¯t make a mistake.¡± He raised his arm at her with his umbrella propped up: ¡°Let¡¯s go, just in time to have lunch together.¡± Zhang Yansheng took his arm and stepped into the rain with him. The rainwater slid down the umbrella, as if forming a world of water, in which there were only him and her. He said: ¡°Let¡¯s pick up Little Stone together later. He likes it the most when the two of us pick him up. He can be proud of it for several days.¡± He said: ¡°The rain was held back for several days, so it won¡¯t stop for a while. He should have worn shorts in the morning, he shouldn¡¯t have worn trousers.¡± They walked in the rain, while he was saying some trivial and ordinary things in a rambling manner. Day after day, it is not surprising anymore. Zhang Yansheng stared at the water curtain, as if she could clearly see a drop of rainwater rolling down from the umbrella bone to the ground, splashing. The impact seemed to make a loud sound. Zhang Yansheng turned her head and looked at the face of her child¡¯s father. His handsome eyebrows and tall nose are extremely beautiful. Zhang Yansheng suddenly felt her heart shrink, which was very severe. In fact, she has never understood that even when there are so many schemes, foul smells, filthiness, and disgust in marriage, why are there so many couples in this world to succeed in having a happy married life? But at this moment, she suddenly understood. Because if you are lucky enough, you will eventually meet such a person. You know that there may be waves and bumps ahead, but you still want to spend your life with him or her for a long time. Marriage is this ¡®long-term¡¯ ceremony. When your thoughts are strong enough, you desire this ceremony, not only to declare your sovereignty to the world, but also to promise each other through vows with this person. Such sweetness is wistful. Yue Song suddenly felt a tightening on his arms, and Zhang Yansheng stopped walking. He also stopped and turned his head: ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± Zhang Yansheng stared at his eyes in the rain, and saw her own shadow in his eyes. When he looked at her, he was always so focused, with only her shadow in his eyes. So, Zhang Yansheng knew that Yue Song was that person. Zhang Yansheng let go of his arm and proposed to Yue Song in the rain: ¡°Yue Song, would you like to marry me?¡± Perhaps after waiting for too long, Yue Song was stunned for a moment, his eyes blinked a few times before he reacted. ¡°Oh¡­¡± He handed her the umbrella, ¡°Hold it.¡± Zhang Yansheng instinctively took the umbrella. Yue Song took her other hand, then put his other hand in the inner pocket of his suit¡­ He took out the heirloom ring and put it on Zhang Yansheng¡¯s finger. Zhang Yansheng raised her hand, and the huge gemstone was soft and beautiful in the rain. ¡°How come you have this with you?¡± She was surprised. ¡°I always carry it.¡± Yue Song smiled, as calm as him, with a rare hint of sly in his eyes, ¡°I have always kept it close to my body, just waiting for one day you would say yes. As a result¡­¡± He held his forehead and laughed. ¡°I do.¡± He said, ¡°Zhang Yansheng, you have kept me waiting for a long time.¡±
