《Sir, Your Wife is Rocking the World again》 Chapter 1 Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Hot¡­ It was as if he was swept into a vortex of heat waves and could not break free. Si Fan opened her scarlet and anxious eyes, and her chaotic consciousness gradually cleared up. An unfamiliar room, an unfamiliar aura, and an unfamiliar memory surged into her mind. Soon, Si Fan realized that she had been reborn! She, the famous Almighty God of War and Queen of Kepler Galaxy, had been schemed against by her trusted aides and died tragically. She had been reborn on a distant Earth, on the body of the good-for-nothing Si Fan, who had the same name as her!!! Unfortunately, this good-for-nothing was drugged and knocked unconscious by her vicious best friend, Tan Lina. She carried her to this room and tried to use her body to climb up the social ladder! On the other hand, the original owner of the body was pitifully weak. She could not withstand the strong medicinal effects and died before she was humiliated. That was how she was reborn! Since she had accepted the original owner¡¯s body, heh! How dare this Tan Lina plot against me. She has a death wish! Just as she finished thinking! Suddenly, there was a click from the tightly shut door! Someone was coming. Si Fan¡¯s ears twitched and her eyes narrowed dangerously. Her sharp gaze instantly shot towards the door. ¡°Beauty, you must have waited for a long time. I¡¯m here to accompany you, hehe!¡± A lecherous laugh sounded as a fat bald old man entered the room. Si Fan looked at the bald old man and frowned. This man was too ugly. Not only was he ugly, but he was also old and bald. He was not even qualified to carry her shoes for her! The bald old man looked at Si Fan, who was sitting on the bed. Her face was so exquisite that it was unforgettable. She was definitely a beauty. Her skin was cold and fair, like a top-notch unpolished jade. She clearly had a pair of charming peach blossom eyes1, but at this moment, they were filled with ice and snow. They were extremely cold. She looked petite and weak, but the aura she exuded was domineering. She was like a high and mighty king, holding life and death in her hands! At this moment, she was staring at him. Her bloodshot eyes looked quite terrifying, inexplicably making the bald old man a little afraid. However, the old bald man had drunk some wine, which strengthened his courage. The trace of fear in his heart was instantly thrown to the back of his mind. ¡°Yo, little beauty, you can still sit? It¡¯s okay, let me push you down!¡± The bald old man laughed lewdly and staggered to the bed, wanting to push Si Fan down. But before he could get close to Si Fan, she kicked him away and his heavy body hit the wall. What followed was a series of pig-like cries. Si Fan moved her wrist and her lips curled into an arrogant sneer. She stood up and walked to the bald old man. She raised her left leg and stepped on the man¡¯s chest with her white canvas shoes. Her cold voice was like the descent of a demon. ¡°I¡¯ll give you a chance. If you confess, I¡¯ll forgive you. If you resist, I¡¯ll punish you severely!¡± The bald old man felt a sharp pain in his chest. He looked at Si Fan, who had a strong aura, and shivered in fear. He did not understand how a gentle and weak little girl could suddenly become a terrifying demon. Her aura was different! However, he didn¡¯t have time to think because he was about to suffocate. He had no choice but to confess his sins. He thought that he would successfully dodge the bullet after confessing, but he did not expect to be beaten up¡­ Five minutes later. Si Fan walked out of the room. She was a little tired because her body was too weak. Her body could not take it after making a few moves. Moreover, the drug in her body was already at its peak. It was too late to go to the hospital. She had to find a man as soon as possible. Most importantly, this man could not be ugly. He had to be handsome! She was the God of War and Queen. She would rather die than let herself suffer! Suddenly, a tall man walked out of a room. Si Fan immediately looked at the man¡¯s face. His face was slightly turned to the side and his facial features were well-defined. His facial features were handsome and his eyes were deep. His dark pupils were cold and lifeless. He looked like he was not to be trifled with. However, she had to admit that this face was stunning. She could not help but breathe heavily after taking a look. Her peach blossom eyes, which were already red from enduring, instantly exploded. She lost her rationality and rushed forward without a word. She pressed her hand on the man¡¯s chest and pushed him into the room again. With a bang, the door was slammed shut. At this moment, a woman with beautiful facial features was sitting on a handsome man. Her slender and fair fingers were tugging at his gray tie. His collar was already in a mess. She stared at him with her red eyes and asked in a low and hoarse voice, ¡°Man, are you an adult yet?¡± The man looked at the aggressive woman and frowned. A terrifying coldness flashed across his dark and cold eyes. However, Si Fan didn¡¯t seem to notice it at all. Her red lips parted slightly and she said with a hot breath, ¡°Regardless of whether you are an adult or not, I will be responsible for you. Be good and let me pamper you well!¡± Si Fan¡¯s fair fingers hooked onto the man¡¯s firm and smooth chin. She lowered her head without hesitation and was about to kiss the man on his lips¡­ However, before she could kiss him, the back of her neck suddenly hurt. Before Si Fan could react, she had already fallen into the man¡¯s arms¡­ Indeed, lust was a knife above one¡¯s head. She had finally experienced it¡­ Jun Yan lowered his eyes and looked at the woman who had fallen into his arms. Her entire body was emitting an abnormal heat. So, she had been drugged. No wonder she was so fierce and pounced on men. He pushed her away without hesitation and quickly got up to tidy up his messy clothes. Then, he lowered his head and glanced at Si Fan, who was lying on the ground with a burning red body. She was wearing a white dress. Because of her actions just now, her collar was pulled down a little. Near her left chest, a red plum blossom birthmark fell into the man¡¯s eyes. Strangely, there was a red mole in the middle of the plum blossom, like a stamen that emitted an enchanting aura. Jun Yan¡¯s pupils constricted and a strange look flashed across his eyes. This was¡­ He stared deeply at Si Fan¡¯s face and pursed his lips. Then, he squatted down and picked her up. He looked down at the plum blossom birthmark on her chest for a few seconds. The ends of his fingers, which were covered in black gloves, brushed past the redness. The birthmark was real. The man¡¯s handsome face was still cold and heartless, but his sharp and sexy Adam¡¯s apple bobbed slightly. A complicated expression appeared in his eyes as he carried her out of the room¡­ *** Si Fan woke up and realized that she was lying on a three-meter-wide bed. The huge room was luxurious and expensive. She quickly sat up from the bed and raised her hand to press between her exquisite eyebrows. She clearly recalled the moment before she fainted. She was controlled by strong medicine and lost her rationality. When she saw a beautiful man, she could not help but pounce on him. However, before she could do anything, she was subdued by the man and fainted. And now¡­ Si Fan lowered her head and looked at her clothes. It was still the same white dress that made her look soft and weak. There was nothing wrong with her body, and the drug had worn off. She was saved?! That man saved her?! No matter what, she had to figure out where she was first. Si Fan was used to being in a high position. She was wary of unfamiliar environments. This was the alertness of a person-in-power to danger. After she got up, she walked towards the door. She stopped in her tracks when she passed by a dressing mirror. The woman reflected in the mirror was also staring straight at her with a hint of coldness in her peach blossom eyes. The woman¡¯s appearance was exquisite, her facial features were exquisite like jade, and her skin was fair and smooth. Her beautiful black hair fell on her back and shoulders. She was laid-back and casual, and her temperament was outstanding, like a beautiful painting. Si Fan pinched her face and smiled. ¡°You look a lot like the original me.¡± Not being ugly was her bottom line. The rest didn¡¯t matter. Chapter 2 Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Si Fan had just walked out of the room when she was stopped by a voice. ¡°Stop! Who are you?!¡± Si Fan turned around and saw a woman in a white cheongsam walking over. The tight cheongsam outlined the woman¡¯s slender figure, making her look gentle and virtuous with an air of sophistication. Si Fan placed her hands behind her back and said calmly, ¡°Si Fan.¡± The woman looked surprised. She explicitly sized up Si Fan. Her facial features were exquisite, and her face was as pretty as a hibiscus. She was a rather beautiful person. She was wearing a long white dress that accentuated her beautiful figure. Her slender waist was so slender that it looked like it could break easily. Moreover, this wonderful person had an aura that others could not ignore. She was calm and composed, and there was a faint pressure between her eyes. It made people submit for no reason. Murong Xiang found it hard to believe that the young lady in front of her would have such an intimidating and submissive aura. She suppressed her doubts and continued asking, ¡°Si Fan? Are you my son¡¯s girlfriend?¡± ¡°?¡± Si Fan. She really wanted to ask, Who is your son?! However, when she thought of the handsome man she wanted to devour, she realized that he looked a little similar to the woman in front of her. She could not help but think that the two of them were related by blood. Moreover, this woman said that that man was her son. But they looked like siblings. Seeing that Si Fan did not answer immediately, Murong Xiang thought that she had tacitly agreed that she was her son¡¯s girlfriend. The corners of her lips curled up immediately. She put on an amiable face and stepped forward to hold Si Fan¡¯s hand. Si Fan instinctively avoided her and became alert. Murong Xiang thought that Si Fan was nervous seeing her, so she didn¡¯t take it to heart. She smiled and comforted her. ¡°Don¡¯t be nervous. I¡¯m Jun Yan¡¯s mother. You can just call me Auntie Jun.¡± Si Fan¡¯s expression was calm as she explained, ¡°Auntie Jun, your son and I aren¡¯t a couple. It¡¯s just that he saved me and that¡¯s why I¡¯m here. Please help me thank him. I¡¯ll repay his kindness in the future. I still have something on, so I¡¯ll leave first!¡± With that, Si Fan left without a sideways glance. Her eyes were cold and indifferent, and her aura was cold and ruthless. She was not moved at all by Murong Xiang¡¯s assumption. A normal young lady would have pounced on her immediately after knowing her identity, but this young lady did not have that idea at all. Murong Xiang looked at Si Fan¡¯s slender back in a daze and couldn¡¯t help but say, ¡°This girl has guts!¡± *** Not long after Si Fan left, Jun Yan returned. The man was wearing a black shirt that fitted his tall and muscular body meticulously. His black pants were tightly tucked into his black boots. His collar was slightly open, and its messy curves revealed a trace of ruthlessness. He slowly walked into the hall. His footsteps were steady and powerful, and his temperament was noble and arrogant. The powerful aura emitted from his bones made it impossible to look at him directly. Murong Xiang looked at her son. He clearly had a peerless beauty, a noble status, and no lack of power. Which part of him was not perfect?! But what should she do?! This disappointing man did not have a girlfriend at the age of 28. It would be embarrassing if word got out! Murong Xiang took a sip of tea and looked at Jun Yan with an unfriendly gaze. ¡°Son, who is that girl?!¡± She was referring to Si Fan whom he had brought back. This was the first time he had brought a woman back. Jun Yan didn¡¯t respond. He casually took off his black gloves, revealing a large tattoo on the back of his hand. He asked, ¡°What about her?¡± Murong Xiang saw the tattoo on the man¡¯s hand and said angrily, ¡°She left. Just a while ago.¡± Left? Jun Yan paused and frowned slightly. Murong Xiang glared at him. ¡°You haven¡¯t answered me. Who is she?¡± ¡°I don¡¯t know her.¡± Jun Yan said coldly and was about to go upstairs. He didn¡¯t know her, but he took the initiative to bring her back to his private villa?! No way she was going to believe him! Murong Xiang was about to ask something. Suddenly, he stopped in his tracks and turned to look at her. ¡°By the way, is there a plum blossom birthmark on the chest of a daughter of the Si family in Beijing who went missing 17 years ago?¡± Murong Xiang asked, ¡°Don¡¯t you know? You even carried her when she was young. The three-month-old little girl was small and soft. She even peed on you. Her clothes were all wet. In the end, you were the one who helped her change her clothes and diapers. You even said that the plum blossom mark on her chest was especially ugly!¡± Jun Yan hummed lightly. ¡°I have some impressions.¡± Then, he went upstairs. Murong Xiang frowned. ¡°Don¡¯t tell me this brat is still thinking about getting engaged to that little daughter of the Si family?¡± Because the Si Family¡¯s little girl had accidentally caught Jun Yan during the banquet, the two families had even joked about arranging a betrothal for the two of them at that time. But Jun Yan didn¡¯t really like that little girl. He even despised her! However, he seemed to have lost his soul when that young lady was lost. He did not eat for three days and three nights. What an awkward man! Jun Yan strode into the study. As soon as he entered, the curtains fluttered and a black shadow floated in. The figure handed a stack of documents to Jun Yan and said respectfully, ¡°Master, these are the documents you wanted.¡± Jun Yan took the documents and glanced at them. His thin lips moved. ¡°Si Fan¡­¡± Was it her? *** Si Fan followed the body¡¯s original host¡¯s memory and arrived at the university where she was studying. S University was the best aristocratic university in Xiang City. The students who entered were either rich or noble. They had extremely high statuses. The original host studied acting at S University and was in her first year of university. Her family got her in through the back door. The reason was that the original host¡¯s college entrance examination results were too lousy. She could only enter S University through the back door. Because she was incompetent and submissive, she became the target of mockery in the entire school. In the entire school, only Tan Lina was willing to be close to the original host. The original host treated Tan Lina wholeheartedly and was grateful to her. However, Tan Lina just wanted to use the original host to pave the way for her to enter the entertainment industry! The moment Si Fan entered S University, she stunned the students who were passing by. They all looked over. ¡°Who is this? She¡¯s so beautiful!¡± A woman in a white dress walked into the school. Her facial features were extremely stunning, making it difficult for one to look away. The exclamations from the crowd continued. ¡°She¡¯s even prettier than the school belle!¡± ¡°Could she be a student from our school?¡± What they didn¡¯t know was that the woman with outstanding facial features in front of them was Si Fan, who was usually timid and allowed others to mock her. Si Fan usually wore a pair of big and ugly glasses that covered her eyes and half of her face. She simply looked ugly. How could they know that under the glasses was a rare beauty¡¯s face? She was even more stunning than the female celebrities in the entertainment industry. Si Fan walked towards the teaching building without looking sideways. Her eyes were cold and her aura was strong. No matter where she went, she was the center of attention. There were even people who took photos of her and posted them on the school forum. Performance Major, Class 2. Tan Lina kept staring at her cell phone. After a night, she wondered if Director Chen had successfully slept with Si Fan. If he succeeded, it shouldn¡¯t be too difficult for her to get the second female lead role, right? Moreover, Tan Lina did not feel guilty at all, nor was she afraid that Si Fan would take revenge on her. Because she knew that the cowardly Si Fan would only swallow her anger and not blow things up. As she was thinking, she suddenly heard a gasp from around her. Right on the heels of that, a shadow enveloped her, accompanied by a bone-piercing chill. Tan Lina¡¯s body trembled. Then, she slowly raised her head, and her eyes gradually widened¡­ Chapter 3 Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Tan Lina jumped in fright and hurriedly stood up. ¡°Si¡­ Si Fan?¡± Wasn¡¯t she in Director Chen¡¯s bed? How did it happen so quickly¡­ Si Fan?! The students from the Performance Major were still shocked by the girl who entered their class just now. No matter how hard they racked their brains, they could not figure out that the beauty in front of them was actually Si Fan who wore a pair of ugly glasses?! It was unbelievable! Si Fan raised her leg and placed her shoe on Tan Lina¡¯s seat. She leaned forward slightly and rested his elbows on her knees. She stared at Tan Lina coldly with her peach blossom eyes and pinched her chin with her other hand. ¡°Tan Lina, I treat you as a sister, but you treat me as a tool and step on me to get to the top. How cruel!¡± Tan Lina felt that the Si Fan in front of her had become extremely unfamiliar. She clearly looked weak and easy to bully yesterday, but now¡­ she was like a queen who had come to take revenge and was filled with a terrifying murderous aura! She suppressed the fear in her heart. ¡°Si¡­ Si Fan, what are you talking about? I¡­ I don¡¯t know¡­ Don¡¯t scare me!¡± ¡°Still pretending?¡± Si Fan sneered and patted Tan Lina¡¯s face. Si Fan used a lot of force and Tan Lina¡¯s face turned red in a few seconds. Tan Lina¡¯s face hurt so much that tears fell. Tan Lina¡¯s suitor saw that his goddess had been slapped in the face and rushed out angrily. ¡°Si Fan, what did Lina do to you? Why did you slap her face like that?!¡± Tan Lina immediately begged her pursuer for help with tears in her eyes. ¡°Song Zhi, save me!¡± How could Song Zhi resist his goddess¡¯ pitiful gaze? He wanted to step forward and save her. However, Si Fan suddenly glared at him and he instinctively stopped in his tracks. What kind of gaze was that? It was filled with killing intent and coldness. It was as sharp as death and filled with killing intent. He almost could not help but kneel down. Was this still the usual timid and incompetent Si Fan? When did she become so domineering?! Song Zhi was not the only one who was shocked. Everyone around him widened their eyes and did not even dare to look Si Fan in the eye. ¡°S-Si Fan, just you wait. I¡¯ll call the teacher over immediately and say that you hit someone. Just wait to be expelled from school!¡± Song Zhi instinctively cowered. He glared at Si Fan and rushed out of the classroom. ¡°Song Zhi!¡± Tan Lina did not expect Song Zhi to be so timid. She was so angry that she wanted to scold him. However, Si Fan¡¯s transformation still terrified her. That¡¯s right. She was afraid of someone she had disdained. Tan Lina suppressed her panic and shouted, ¡°Si Fan, let go of me. You¡¯ll be finished when the teacher comes!¡± Si Fan pushed Tan Lina to the ground and stepped on her chest. She looked down at her with an indifferent gaze. ¡°You want me to let go of you? Kneel down and apologize to me!¡± Tan Lina was extremely humiliated. This was the first time she had been bullied so badly that she could not retaliate. Especially when there were so many people staring at her. Seeing her embarrass herself, the humiliation instantly filled her. She immediately cried helplessly in an attempt to gain everyone¡¯s sympathy. As expected, someone immediately pitied her. ¡°Si Fan, don¡¯t go too far. Tan Lina treated you as a good friend out of kindness and helped you in every way. Not only are you not grateful, you even humiliated her and made her kneel down to apologize. You¡¯re simply going too far!¡± ¡°That¡¯s right. This is a lawful society. If you dare to touch Tan Lina, I¡¯ll call the police immediately!¡±m Si Fan, on the other hand, was very calm. She looked at Tan Lina with a faint smile. ¡°Report it. Let¡¯s see if the police are here to arrest me or a woman who used her good friend¡¯s body to climb up the ranks.¡± Si Fan¡¯s words immediately aroused everyone¡¯s doubts. ¡°What do you mean?¡± ¡°What do you mean by using a good friend¡¯s body to climb up the ranks?!¡± ¡°Did Tan Lina do something bad to Si Fan? Is that why Si Fan suddenly became so abnormal?!¡± ¡°That¡¯s right. After all, Si Fan is usually a yes-woman who doesn¡¯t even dare to breathe loudly. How did she suddenly become so domineering?!¡± ¡°Something must have crossed her bottom line!¡± Tan Lina panicked and immediately retorted, ¡°It¡¯s not like that, Si Fan. You must have misunderstood me. I treat you as a close friend. Why would I use you to climb up the social ladder?¡± Anyway, Si Fan couldn¡¯t find any evidence to prove that she drugged her and sent her to that fat pig¡¯s bed. After that, she destroyed all the evidence. Without evidence, Si Fan would not be able to gain everyone¡¯s trust! Tan Lina started to cry again. ¡°Si Fan, ever since you entered this university, no one wanted to be friends with you. I was the only one who was willing to treat you as a friend. But I didn¡¯t expect that in your heart, I was the kind of person who would betray a good friend. You disappoint me!¡± As a performance major, she had no lack of acting skills. Tears came easily. Coupled with her emotional performance, most of the surrounding students instantly believed her. The weak always made people want to protect them! ¡°Si Fan, you said that Tan Lina used you to get to the top. What evidence do you have?!¡± ¡°That¡¯s right. Everyone knows how Lina usually treats you. Who would believe you if you suddenly say that she¡¯s a woman who doesn¡¯t hesitate to use her good friend?!¡± ¡°Moreover, Lina is such a kind woman. She can¡¯t even bear to step on an ant. How could she do such a disgusting thing?!¡± ¡°Unless you have evidence, let go of Lina immediately!¡± Seeing that the situation was already leaning towards her, Tan Lina couldn¡¯t help but feel smug. ¡°Si Fan, you can¡¯t find any evidence, right? Without evidence, there¡¯s no way to prove it¡­¡± Si Fan laughed nonchalantly and interrupted, ¡°Who said I don¡¯t have evidence?¡± Tan Lina stopped talking and stared at Si Fan in shock. She didn¡¯t seem to understand what she meant. Si Fan took out her phone calmly and played a recording in front of everyone. ¡°Boohoo, big boss, spare me. I¡¯ll confess, I¡¯ll confess everything!¡± ¡°It¡¯s a good friend of yours. Her name is Tan Lina or something. She has her eyes on the second female lead of a movie I¡¯m working on and wants me to cast her.¡± ¡°I hinted that she had to sleep with me. She immediately promised me that she would send a beautiful woman to my hotel bed tonight. Then, I came over. Look, she just sent me a message saying that you were already in the room and asked me to hurry back to my room¡­¡± After the recording ended, everyone was stunned. They did not expect Tan Lina to be so despicable. For the second female lead of a movie, she had sent her good friend Si Fan to a director¡¯s bed¡­ Tan Lina widened her eyes in disbelief. She would never have thought that Si Fan, who was usually weak and at the mercy of others, would have the ability to subdue an experienced director and force him to confess to the recording. She was no longer as calm as before. Tan Lina started to quibble. ¡°No, don¡¯t believe it, everyone. This recording must have been synthesized!¡± She looked at Si Fan, who had a cold expression on his face, and questioned loudly, ¡°Si Fan, I have no grievances with you and even treat you as a good friend. Why are you framing me like this?!¡± Chapter 4 Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations The corners of Si Fan¡¯s lips curled up into a cold smile as she stomped her foot hard. ¡°Frame? I hope you can still be so self-righteous when the police come later.¡± Tan Lina felt a pain in her chest. Then, she seemed to have realized something and turned pale with fright. ¡°What?! You called the police?!¡± That director was very famous in the entertainment industry and Si Fan actually dared to call the police?! Moreover, the casting couch was the unspoken rules of the entertainment industry. Wasn¡¯t she afraid of offending some big shots in the entertainment industry?! Si Fan did not care about Tan Lina¡¯s shock. Instead, she curled his lips and smiled casually. ¡°Other than calling the police, I have a big gift for you.¡± Tan Lina was stunned and instinctively asked, ¡°What gift?¡± As soon as she finished speaking, someone exclaimed, ¡°Oh my god, everyone, look online. Tan Lina¡¯s casting couch¡¯s photo was leaked by the director. There¡¯s also a video. Oh my god, it¡¯s in high definition. This is so explosive!¡± ¡°Really?! Isn¡¯t Tan Lina quite pure and innocent? How could she do such a thing?!¡± ¡°It¡¯s true. I saw it too. It¡¯s almost trending!¡± ¡°Eh, so disgusting. I didn¡¯t expect her to be such a person!¡± Tan Lina heard the disdainful curses of the surrounding students word for word. Her ears were ringing. Enduring the pain in her body, she took out her phone and logged into Weibo. She completely broke down when she saw the photos and videos that everyone was talking about. Why would these photos and videos be leaked?! ¡°No, it¡¯s not true!!!¡± ¡°These aren¡¯t real. These aren¡¯t real. They¡¯re all synthesized. Don¡¯t believe it!!!¡± However, no one believed Tan Lina anymore. Her innocent persona completely collapsed with this revelation. At this moment, Song Zhi brought their teacher-in-charge Zhong Mei to class. Zhong Mei did not know what had happened. She thought that Si Fan had bullied Tan Lina when she saw Si Fan¡¯s shoe stepping on Tan Lina¡¯s chest and Tan Lina crying in despair. She frowned and immediately shouted, ¡°Si Fan, stop!¡± Song Zhi¡¯s heart ached when he saw Tan Lina being stepped on by Si Fan. ¡°Si Fan, the teacher-in-charge is here. Let go of Lina!¡± When Si Fan heard this, the corners of her lips curled up slightly before she retracted her leg. Song Zhi rushed to Tan Lina and bent down to carry her. ¡°Lina, how are you? Don¡¯t be afraid. The teacher-in-charge is here. She will help you and teach Si Fan a lesson!¡± Meanwhile, Tan Lina was still immersed in the news. She was in a daze. Seeing this, Song Zhi wanted to rush up and fight Si Fan. ¡°Si Fan, you vicious woman, I¡¯m going to fight you to the death!¡± But before he could get close to Si Fan, she lifted her leg and bent his knee. Plop. He knelt in front of Si Fan. The surrounding students burst into laughter when they saw Song Zhi kneeling in front of Si Fan. Si Fan raised her eyebrows and raised her chin. Her jawline was exquisite and smooth. ¡°This greeting is not bad. You may stand up.¡± Her high and mighty tone made those who didn¡¯t know better think that she was a high and mighty queen while Song Zhi was just a lowly poor man. Song Zhi¡¯s face was red with anger. He felt humiliated. He quickly stood up and glared at Si Fan. He then complained to Zhong Mei, ¡°Madam Zhong, look at Si Fan. She¡¯s so arrogant and doesn¡¯t take you seriously. You¡¯re already here and she still hit me!¡± Zhong Mei frowned and said, ¡°Si Fan, I¡¯m ordering you to follow me to the office immediately. I¡¯ll call your parents over and teach you a lesson!¡± Si Fan¡¯s eyes turned cold. Suddenly, a girl with pockmarks all over her face walked over. She looked at Si Fan timidly and then at Zhong Mei. ¡°Teacher, you¡¯ve misunderstood Si Fan. She didn¡¯t hit Tan Lina on purpose just now. Tan Lina provoked her, so¡­¡± Before she could finish, Zhong Mei interrupted her coldly. ¡°Even so, she can¡¯t hit her classmates in school. The school has explicitly prohibited students from fighting. She just stepped on Tan Lina and already violated the school rules. Now, she even kicked Song Zhi in front of me. It¡¯s fine if she doesn¡¯t take me, the teacher-in-charge, seriously, but she also doesn¡¯t take the school rules seriously. Such an unruly student is not worthy to study in S University!¡± Song Zhi nodded in agreement. ¡°That¡¯s right, teacher. Hurry up and chase her out of S University, lest she harms our class and our school!¡± ¡°But, but¡­¡± The pockmarked girl wanted to say something, but Song Zhi glared at her. She was so frightened that she quickly shut up. Song Zhi was the overlord of the class. It was said that he was in the underworld too. Anyone who offended him would not have a good time. If she insisted on explaining, he might take revenge on her. Seeing that Si Fan did not move, Zhong Mei said angrily, ¡°Si Fan, did you hear what I said? Follow me to the office!¡± Si Fan glanced at Zhong Mei indifferently and narrowed her eyes. In an instant, countless pressure burst out from her body and pressed down on Zhong Mei¡¯s head. Zhong Mei felt her hair stand on end, and cold sweat broke out on her forehead.m She looked at Si Fan in shock and disbelief. ¡°You¡­¡± She did not understand how the girl in front of her, who had always appeared weak, could suddenly have such a terrifying aura. Moreover, it had to be someone who was a powerful figure to have such a powerful aura, right? Not this college student who was still in university and had no background. It must be an act! After all, acting skills were the last thing the acting major lacked! Zhong Mei flew into a rage out of humiliation. ¡°Si Fan, don¡¯t be so shameless. Believe it or not, I¡¯ll call the security officers and chase you out of school!¡± Song Zhi said, ¡°Teacher, I have the number of the security officer¡¯s office. I¡¯ll call them for you right away!¡± With that, he looked at Si Fan smugly. He wanted to see the fear on her face before begging for mercy. But he was disappointed. Not only was Si Fan not afraid, she even smirked nonchalantly with a hint of mockery in her eyes. Song Zhi was annoyed. He immediately took out his phone and wanted to call the security officer. However, a few police officers in uniform walked into the classroom before he could make the call. The leader of the group, an older police officer, asked, ¡°Hello, we¡¯re from the First Public Security Department. May I ask if there¡¯s a student called Tan Lina here?!¡± Zhong Mei and Song Zhi were stunned when they saw the police. Then, they quickly reacted. Tan Lina must have been bullied by Si Fan, so she secretly called the police. The police must be here to catch Si Fan and teach her a lesson! ¡°Police officers, you¡¯re finally here. You have to uphold justice for Tan Lina!¡± Song Zhi walked up to the police excitedly and pointed at Tan Lina. Then, he pointed at Si Fan. ¡°That¡¯s her. We saw her bullying Tan Lina just now. We are all witnesses. Hurry up and take Si Fan to the police station!¡± Chapter 5 Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Si Fan, who was being pointed at by Song Zhi, curled her lips and stood with her hands behind her back. Her sparkling eyes revealed a hint of casual playfulness, as if she was disdainful. In Song Zhi¡¯s eyes, this was a blatant provocation. Song Zhi was infuriated and said without thinking, ¡°You¡¯re about to die and you¡¯re still pretending to be brave. Let¡¯s see how arrogant you can be when the police escort you to the police car!¡± Zhong Mei did not want the matter to blow up. Otherwise, as the teacher-in-charge, she would not be able to escape the blame and her grading in the outstanding teachers of the year would be affected. She immediately said to Si Fan, ¡°Si Fan, hurry up and apologize to Tan Lina so that I can ask the police to be lenient with you. Otherwise, the rest of your life will be ruined if you go to the police station. As for entering the entertainment industry, it will never happen!¡± Si Fan¡¯s expression remained unchanged, as if she was not the main character they were talking about. She was extremely calm. Zhong Mei looked at Si Fan with even more disdain. Si Fan was hopeless. If not for her family¡¯s connections, she would not have accepted such a disobedient and useless student. How unlucky! Just as Madam Zhong was about to continue, the leading police officer said, ¡°You¡¯ve misunderstood. We received a report that a student called Tan Lina drugged her best friend, Si Fan, for the role of the second female lead in a movie. She was sent to the bed of a director. After our police investigation, we found that this was indeed the case, and the evidence is conclusive. The police came here to arrest Tan Lina.¡± ¡°What?¡± Zhong Mei was dumbfounded. Song Zhi¡¯s eyes widened as well. He did not expect his goddess to be such a woman. Zhong Mei was also unwilling to believe it. ¡°Officers, did you guys misunderstand something? Why would Lina do such a despicable thing for a drama?¡± After all, Tan Lina¡¯s performance in class was not bad. Her results in various assessments were top-notch. She was also humble and polite. She was also very helpful. One look and one could tell that she was a pure and kind girl. How could she¡­ The policeman frowned. ¡°Why? Are you questioning our police¡¯s ability to handle cases?¡± Zhong Mei¡¯s expression changed. She hurriedly shook her head and said that she did not dare. The police did not say anything else. They walked up to Tan Lina, took out handcuffs, and cuffed her hands. On the other hand, Tan Lina looked dazed. She did not resist at all and allowed the police to escort her away. Song Zhi¡¯s heart ached as he chased after her. ¡°Lina, don¡¯t worry. I believe there must be a misunderstanding. Don¡¯t worry, I¡¯ll think of a way to save you!¡± When Tan Lina heard this, her empty eyes had a slight ripple. ¡°Song Zhi, you have to save me. The only person I can rely on is you. Don¡¯t believe the things that are slandering me online. Those are all fake. You just have to believe in me. Please, please, save me!¡± Tan Lina knew that the Song family was quite powerful in Xiang City. If she relied on Song Zhi to do some cheap shots and tricks in private, she might be acquitted. When Song Zhi saw that Tan Lina had spoken to him, he immediately agreed. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I will definitely save you!¡± With that, he immediately called his eldest brother. His brother, Song Yuan, had some connections at the police station and could help put in a few words. Soon, Tan Lina was escorted into the police car by the police. The entire school knew about this. Zhong Mei was still confused. Si Fan was the one who fought. Why did Tan Lina end up in the police station? Then didn¡¯t she just¡­ Zhong Mei looked at the pockmarked girl again. ¡°What exactly happened?¡± The pockmarked girl¡¯s name was Gu Xiaoxiao. When she heard Zhong Mei¡¯s question, she took out her phone and showed Zhong Mei the indecent photos and videos that had been circulating on Weibo. Zhong Mei looked down and almost died on the spot. There were hundreds of indecent photos and several high-definition pornograhic videos. The female lead was actually Tan Lina? Moreover, almost all the men were different. There were even a few men in one photo. Was this the innocent and kind good student she was talking about?! Zhong Mei was trembling with anger. She looked around at her students. All of them were staring at her and seemed to be whispering something, as if they were mocking her for defending Tan Lina earlier. Her face instantly turned red. She was so embarrassed that she felt ashamed. At this moment, Si Fan narrowed her eyes and asked casually, ¡°Teacher, do you still need me to go to the office with you?¡± Zhong Mei looked at Si Fan and her face turned pale. In the end, she couldn¡¯t stay any longer and turned to leave. Si Fan looked at Zhong Mei¡¯s departing figure calmly and coldly. The corners of her lips curled up slightly without any warmth. After that, she found a seat in the classroom and sat down. She casually crossed her legs and narrowed her sparkling peach blossom eyes. Her thin scarlet lips were pursed slightly, and the extremely faint arc of her lips was extremely charming. However, there was a faint trace of dignity in her cold eyes. She was sacred and inviolable. She was bewitching and oppressive, and she was so stunning that people could not take their eyes off her. She was too beautiful and domineering! The students in the class could not help but steal glances at Si Fan, who had changed her appearance and aura drastically. Their hearts trembled with excitement. They had no resistance to beautiful and valiant women. How rare was she! This was much better than the previous Si Fan, who was so submissive that she dared not look at anybody. This was too shocking. Si Fan became famous throughout the school overnight¡­ However, there were also people who were discussing in disdain that since Si Fan had been sent to the director¡¯s bed by Tan Lina, the director must have already done something to her. Moreover, Si Fan might have taken the initiative. She was just unwilling to be schemed against by Tan Lina, so she called the police. *** Si Fan knew nothing about all of this. Even if she knew, she would only be disdainful. After all, when a person climbed to a certain height, these gossips were nothing to that person. However, Tan Lina had crossed her bottom line. At this moment, Queen Si Fan was resting with her eyes closed, sorting out her messy thoughts. She did not know if she could return to her planet after she was reborn. After all, the technology on this planet was too backward. At this stage, the probability of her going back was very low. In other words, it was impossible for her to avenge herself. Unless¡­ she could send a signal for her trusted aide and get him to pilot an interstellar warship to this planet and bring her back. However, it was not easy to build an efficient satellite signal transmitter in a short period of time. Now, it was better to accept this identity for the time being and plan to survive on Earth for a period of time. Even though she did not like the rules of this world. Suddenly, a soft voice interrupted Si Fan¡¯s thoughts. ¡°Si Fan, are you alright? Do you want a cup of milk tea?¡± Chapter 6 Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Si Fan opened her eyes and saw a girl with a pockmarked face. She was the girl who had spoken up for her just now. She tilted her head and quickly searched for information about this person in her mind. Gu Xiaoxiao had the same experience as the original host. She often became a laughing stock and a target of bullying because she was ugly and had a weak personality. She was also a pitiful person. Coupled with the fact that Gu Xiaoxiao had just helped her, Si Fan nodded at her in response to her words. The next moment, Gu Xiaoxiao handed her a cup of milk tea with a straw in it. ¡°This is for you. Although I have put a straw in it, I haven¡¯t drunk it yet. I really haven¡¯t drunk a single sip. Pkease don¡¯t mind it.¡± Gu Xiaoxiao said carefully. Her eyelashes drooped and she did not dare to look at Si Fan. Her inferiority complex was carved into her bones. Si Fan didn¡¯t want to drink Gu Xiaoxiao¡¯s milk tea at first, but when she saw her careful and expectant look, she raised her exquisite eyebrows and took the milk tea. She took a sip. It was sweet and tasted good. She nodded slightly and smiled lazily. ¡°It¡¯s delicious. Thank you.¡± Gu Xiaoxiao¡¯s eyes lit up and she looked up at Si Fan. She was extremely excited! Wakaka, the beauty was smiling at her! And her smile was so charming! Gu Xiaoxiao¡¯s heart could not help but beat faster. Her face was red as she said, ¡°If you think it¡¯s delicious, I¡¯ll buy it for you next time.¡± Si Fan smirked and said arrogantly, ¡°No need for that.¡± ¡°You really don¡¯t need it? You¡¯re the first person I want to give milk tea to.¡± Gu Xiaoxiao sounded a little down. ¡°¡­¡± Si Fan looked at Gu Xiaoxiao and said, ¡°Whatever.¡± Only then did Gu Xiaoxiao smile again. Then, she controlled her heartbeat, blushed, scratched her head, and asked shyly, ¡°Class is starting soon. Is there anyone beside you? Can I sit with you?¡± Si Fan did not refuse. Gu Xiaoxiao took Si Fan¡¯s silence as consent. She suppressed her excitement and sat down beside her. Her scent wafted over, mixed with the faint fragrance of plum blossoms. It was clear and elegant. For a moment, she felt very safe. Gu Xiaoxiao was pleasantly surprised. She seemed to have managed to cozy up to the big boss. She was so happy! It was time for class, and the teacher would be here soon. It was the etiquette teacher, Han Xi. When she entered the classroom, she subconsciously glanced at her students and noticed Si Fan immediately. She was shocked for a moment. She heard that Si Fan had changed her appearance and become very beautiful. She did not believe it at first, but when she saw it with her own eyes, she was even more stunning than what others had described. Even as a woman, she couldn¡¯t help but stare at Si Fan for a few seconds. She quickly retracted her gaze and walked to the podium to begin class. Si Fan did not bring her textbooks with her. She sat in her seat and closed her eyes to rest. Han Xi noticed Si Fan many times and saw the empty table. She finally said, ¡°Xiaoxiao, your deskmate didn¡¯t bring any etiquette textbooks. You two can read them together.¡± Hearing this, Gu Xiaoxiao hurriedly moved her textbook to the middle. She smiled shyly. ¡°Si Fan, the teacher said that we should read the book together.¡± Si Fan lifted her eyelids and looked at the textbook. In an instant, the contents of the textbook were imprinted into her mind as if they were copied and pasted. Si Fan suddenly smiled. It seemed that some of her skills had transmigrated too¡­ *** On the other hand, Song Yuan received a request from his younger brother, Song Zhi, and specially called the police station to understand the situation. However, what he knew was different from what Song Zhi had told him. Song Zhi said that Tan Lina was framed by her classmates. She was innocent and was framed. What he understood was that Tan Lina had been arrested because she had schemed against her best friend and committed a crime by sending her friend to sleep with the director. There were errors in the information on both sides, so he did not know who to believe. However, Song Yuan still asked his good friend at the police station to take care of Tan Lina. After all, she was the woman his brother liked. He could not just leave her alone. At that time, he still didn¡¯t know about the indecent photos and videos of Tan Lina that circulated online. If he knew, he wouldn¡¯t have bothered. *** After school in the morning. Gu Xiaoxiao invited Si Fan to the dining hall for lunch. Si Fan glanced at her cell phone and rejected her flatly. ¡°I can¡¯t. I need to go home.¡± She had just received a message from the original host¡¯s mother asking her to go home. After all, since she had taken over the original host¡¯s body, she had to be responsible for the original host¡¯s family. However, Si Fan¡¯s eyes darkened and a faint sneer appeared at the corner of her lips at the thought of that so-called home. Gu Xiaoxiao was a little disappointed that Si Fan did not agree, but she still smiled and said goodbye to her. ¡°Be careful on the way home.¡± Si Fan hummed lightly and got up to leave. When Song Zhi heard that Si Fan was going home, he sneered and sent a message to his friends outside, asking them to find a few people to teach Si Fan a lesson. Si Fan walked out of the school gate and prepared to call a taxi. However, before she could start calling, she saw a few men with colorful hair and punk-like appearances walking towards her. Each of them had a baseball bat in their hands, and they looked hostile. Si Fan glanced at them expressionlessly and her lips suddenly curled into a subtle smile. He pretended not to see it but deliberately walked towards the direction where there were fewer people. A few men followed behind her at a leisurely pace. At that moment, a black Bentley was parked in a secluded spot at the entrance of S University. The man in the Bentley saw the scene not far away and a trace of darkness flashed across his dark and cold eyes. The chauffeur also saw it and was a little worried. ¡°Master, that female university student seems to have been targeted by a group of delinquent youths. Should we go and help her?¡± The man¡¯s slender fingers tapped his thigh and his thin lips curled up. ¡°Follow them.¡± Not long after, a few young men blocked Si Fan at a dead end. Seeing that Si Fan had no other way out, the leader of the blondes cackled. ¡°Girl, there¡¯s a path to heaven, but you chose to barge into hell. Today is the day you die!¡± When Si Fan heard this, she slowly turned around. Then, they saw a beautiful face. The woman¡¯s figure was tall and slender. She wore a white dress that outlined her curvaceous figure. Her jet-black hair cascaded down her shoulders and back like a waterfall, and her temperament was as cold as a fairy. Under the faint sunlight, the woman¡¯s skin seemed to be coated with a faint layer of white glaze. It was porcelain-white and smooth, delicate like jade, and beautiful. The hooligans gasped. Their mouths were wide open and they were drooling. They were too far away to see Si Fan¡¯s face clearly. Now that she was closer, they realized that she was a beautiful girl! Oh god! God had treated them well! The blonde leader wiped his drooling mouth and smiled lewdly. ¡°Hehe, girl, I¡¯ve taken a fancy to you. I¡¯ll give you two choices. Either you take off your clothes immediately and serve us one by one, or we¡¯ll take turns beating you up!¡± Hehe, as for how to beat her up, it could only be understood but not described. Si Fan raised her eyes and smiled. Her dark peach blossom eyes exuded the coldness of death. She said casually, ¡°I¡¯ll give you two choices as the queen. Either get lost immediately, or¡­ be tortured by me in turns!¡± The hooligans laughed. ¡°Hahaha¡­¡± ¡°This little pretty girl likes to cosplay? I¡¯m dying of laughter!¡± ¡°You want to be the queen? Come, come, come, we¡¯ll do as you say!¡± ¡°Take off your clothes first!¡± ¡°Hehe, she¡¯s a queen. How can a queen take off her clothes? We¡¯ll do it for her ourselves!¡± With a sinister laugh, the blondie took the lead and reached out eagerly, wanting to take off Si Fan¡¯s white dress. Just as he was about to drool and touch Si Fan¡¯s fair skin, a slender hand grabbed his wrist and twisted it forcefully before he could react. Crack! It was the sound of bones breaking! Chapter 7 Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations ¡°Ah!!!¡± A painful wail came out of the blondie¡¯s mouth. When the hooligans behind him heard this, their muscles tightened instantly. The blondie¡¯s wrist was grabbed by a fair hand and twisted in a strange posture, making one¡¯s heart tighten! Gosh! So fierce! Was this a power that a girl could possess?! The blondie roared in pain and anger, ¡°Damn it, what are you waiting for? Quickly kill this woman and save me!!¡± The hooligans snapped out of their daze and raised their baseball bats to attack Si Fan. After Si Fan broke the blonde¡¯s wrist, she kicked the blonde¡¯s knee and forced him to kneel in front of her. Then, she snatched the baseball bat from the blondie¡¯s hand and looked up at a hooligan who rushed in front of her. She swept him to the ground effortlessly with her leg. Then, she used a baseball bat with one hand and easily subdued these hooligans. Soon, the hooligans fell to the ground and couldn¡¯t get up. They wailed in pain all over the ground. Si Fan held a blood-stained baseball bat in her hand. Her slender fingers casually swept across the dust on her body. Her actions were arrogant and cool. The hooligans trembled. Si Fan looked at the pile of scrap metal on the ground and said coldly, ¡°Remember, the next time you see me, take a detour. Otherwise, I¡¯ll beat you up every time I see you, understand?!¡± The blondie cried bitterly and took the lead to beg for mercy. ¡°We won¡¯t dare, we won¡¯t dare. Queen, please spare us. We won¡¯t dare to bully you again!¡± The other lackeys chimed in, ¡°Right, right, right. It¡¯s all Song Zhi¡¯s fault. If he hadn¡¯t asked us to stop you at the school gate and teach you a lesson, we wouldn¡¯t have taken things so hard!¡± Song Zhi? Si Fan tilted her head. Alright, she remembered which inconspicuous scumbag it was. Her cold eyes glanced at the blondie and the others. Her lips moved. ¡°Get lost!¡± When the blondie and the others heard this, they hurriedly scrambled away, losing a few shoes. Si Fan sneered and walked back expressionlessly. However, she seemed to have sensed something. Her slightly sharp eyes swept over and landed on a Bentley that had just stopped not long ago. Her gaze froze for a few seconds before she smiled coldly and domineeringly. She placed the baseball bat in her hand on her shoulder and left without any worries. The man in the back seat watched Si Fan leave. His dark pupils flickered and he narrowed his eyes. The corners of his slender eyes curled up slightly. How wild! The chauffeur stared at Si Fan¡¯s departing figure with loving eyes. F*ck, this woman was so cool. She had defeated so many hooligans by herself. She looked very safe. He loved her! *** Si Fan took a taxi back to the Si Family¡¯s villa and threw a 100-dollar bill to the chauffeur. ¡°Keep the change!¡± Then, she entered the Si Family¡¯s villa. The chauffeur happily held the hot 100 yuan bill and glanced at the high-end villa area inside. He recognized that this was the Si Family¡¯s territory. The Si Family was considered a wealthy family in Xiang City. Tsk, so she was a rich young lady. No wonder she was so arrogant! Si Fan walked through the small garden of the villa and casually entered the house. After taking a few steps, a strange voice suddenly sounded. ¡°Si Fan, you didn¡¯t come back last night. Where did you fool around?!¡± Si Fan looked up and saw an 18-year-old girl in dark green walking down the stairs. The girl looked delicate, but she looked very mean and unfriendly. It was Si Fan¡¯s stepsister, Si Ya. Si Fan and Si Ya reorganized their family. Si Fan¡¯s mother, Jiang Qin, married Si Ya¡¯s father, Si Mingyuan, along with her seriously ill brother. Si Ya was very unhappy about her father remarrying, so she usually didn¡¯t treat Jiang Qin and the original host well. Every time the original host came home, she didn¡¯t forget to make sarcastic remarks and even bullied the original host openly. This was also an important reason why the original host had an inferiority complex. Oh, right, Si Ya had an elder sister called Si Xue. If Si Ya bullied the original host openly, Si Xue would play dirty tricks. After they formed a new family, Si Xue and the original host went to the same school from elementary school to university. Moreover, Si Fan had been subjected to all kinds of bullying on campus ever since they went to school together. The reason why she kept suppressing herself was because of Si Xue. She didn¡¯t even need to lift a finger to toy with Si Fan and Si Fan would be bullied and humiliated. It could be said that this pair of sisters was the original host¡¯s nightmare. Si Fan glanced at Si Ya coldly, intending to ignore her and return to her room. However, Si Ya was not willing to let her off so easily. She rushed to Si Fan and stopped her. ¡°Hey, I¡¯m talking to you. Why aren¡¯t you replying? Where did you fool around last night?! Did you sleep with a man?!¡± Seeing that Si Fan didn¡¯t reply, Si Ya took it as her tacit agreement and said disdainfully, ¡°Alright, Si Fan. I didn¡¯t expect you to be such a person. How disgusting!¡± Si Fan glanced at Si Ya coldly and said, ¡°Only people with dirty thoughts would think of others as dirty.¡± ¡°Y-you¡¯re scolding me for having dirty thoughts??¡± Si Ya widened her eyes. She never expected that the timid Si Fan would dare to scold her! This was outrageous! She asked in disbelief, ¡°Si Fan, explain yourself clearly. What did you mean by that?!¡± Si Fan took a step forward and inched closer to Si Ya. Her black and white pupils gradually revealed a terrifying ruthlessness. ¡°Go to the hospital if you¡¯re deaf. Don¡¯t block the way like a dog, understand?!¡± Si Ya was stunned by Si Fan¡¯s gaze. She looked at her in a daze and her mind went blank. Si Fan sneered and retracted her gaze. She walked past Si Ya in a relaxed manner, completely disregarding her earlier clamor. She was disdainful and arrogant to the extreme! Si Ya came back to her senses very quickly. She was furious when she thought about how she was frightened by Si Fan¡¯s gaze and how she called her a dog. She had never thought that Si Fan would be so bold as to glare at her and scold her! How dare Si Fan?! She turned around and shouted angrily at Si Fan¡¯s back, ¡°Stop right there!¡± But Si Fan ignored her. Si Ya was so angry that she chased after Si Fan, wanting to teach her a lesson. She raised her hand, wanting to slap Si Fan¡¯s back. However, Si Fan seemed to have eyes on the back of her head and avoided it effortlessly. Si Ya did not expect Si Fan to dodge. Unable to stop herself, she missed and fell flat on her face. ¡°Ah!!!¡± The sound of her scream spread to every corner of the villa. Soon, all the servants in the villa rushed out. They were instantly shocked when they saw Si Ya lying on the ground in an extremely indecent and pathetic position, screaming her lungs out. They hurriedly rushed over and helped Si Ya up. Si Ya¡¯s nose hit the floor and bled. Her nose seemed to be a little crooked, which showed how hard she had fallen. Si Fan glanced at her and smiled casually. That smile was really blatant, arrogant, and domineering. Si Ya was furious when she saw Si Fan laughing at her. Especially since the other party had a very good-looking face. Si Fan was even better-looking than her. SI Fan was so good-looking that she could not help but want to scratch and tear her apart! Si Ya covered her nose and shouted at the servants, ¡°What are you waiting for? Catch her and teach her a lesson!¡± Since Si Fan dared to hurt her nose, she would destroy Si Fan¡¯s pretty face! Upon hearing her words, the servants looked at Si Fan, who suddenly had a strong aura, and felt a chill down their spine. They did not dare to rush forward to subdue her directly. They could only surround her in the middle and wait for an opportunity to make a move. Si Ya was furious when she saw that the servants were frightened by Si Fan. Just as she was about to threaten her, she heard an anxious voice. ¡°What are you all doing?!¡± Chapter 8 Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Si Fan looked up and saw Si Mingyuan and Jiang Qin walking in. Jiang Qin, who was a little tired, saw a group of servants surrounding Si Fan. Her expression changed and she shouted out. Si Ya couldn¡¯t hide the disgust in her eyes when she saw Jiang Qin. Then, she hurriedly ran to Si Mingyuan and pushed Jiang Qin away from him. She hugged his arm and cried as she complained, ¡°Dad, you came back at the right time. Si Fan just hit my nose until it bled. Hurry up and help me!¡± Si Mingyuan¡¯s gaze landed on Si Ya¡¯s nose, which was bleeding. His expression darkened and he looked at Si Fan with an unfriendly gaze. ¡°Si Fan, you hit Little Ya?!¡± Si Fan glanced at her indifferently and sneered. Her tone was extremely arrogant. ¡°She¡¯s not worthy for me to do it myself. She¡¯s dirty!!!¡± As soon as she finished speaking, everyone¡¯s expression changed, especially Si Ya¡¯s. Si Ya¡¯s expression was almost ferocious. Si Ya was exasperated. ¡°Dad, look at Si Fan¡¯s attitude! Not only did she not admit to hitting me, but she also thinks that I¡¯m dirty?! I didn¡¯t even despise her for being a slut without a father!¡± When Jiang Qin heard that, her eyes could not help but turn red. Because, Si Ya had hit a sore spot in her heart. Si Mingyuan didn¡¯t deny Si Ya¡¯s words because Si Fan had a mother but no father. If Jiang Qin hadn¡¯t insisted on bringing this burden into the family, he wouldn¡¯t have given her another look. Initially, he could turn a blind eye and tolerate her existence when he saw that she was quite well-behaved in the Si Family. He did not expect her to actually dare to hit Si Ya and even speak rudely. She was simply audacious. ¡°Jiang Qin, your daughter has gone too far by hitting Si Ya today. I¡¯ll say this today. Either you send her away, or both of you leave together!¡± Anyway, Si Fan was already an adult and could leave the Si Family to earn money to support herself. It was already his limit to tolerate her staying in the Si Family for so many years. After Si Mingyuan said that, Jiang Qin¡¯s face turned extremely pale and her body trembled uncontrollably. She didn¡¯t expect her 10-year relationship with Si Mingyuan to be so fragile. She was forced to make such a difficult choice just because the children were fooling around. Was he still the Si Mingyuan she had first met? Si Mingyuan looked at Jiang Qin¡¯s reaction and knew that she would never leave the Si Family for Si Fan. This was because she had a sick son, Si Yi, who needed to pay a huge amount of medical fees. Only the Si Family could afford such a huge amount of medical fees. For her son, she could only stay in the Si Family! His eyes turned cold and he continued to impact her. ¡°Jiang Qin, make a decision quickly. For the sake of our future, you have to make a choice. After all, you can¡¯t have the best of both worlds. There are gains and losses. If you give up on Si Fan, you still have two daughters, Si Ya and Si Xue. They are much more outstanding than Si Fan!¡± Jiang Qin frowned, feeling angry and conflicted. She was angry because his daughter, Si Fan, was just a good-for-nothing in Si Mingyuan¡¯s eyes. She was conflicted because Si Mingyuan had asked her to make a choice. She was in a dilemma that made her head hurt. One was her son who was lying on the bed and needed money to be treated. The other was her daughter. No matter who she abandoned, it was as if she had to dig out her own flesh and blood. It was so painful that she wanted to die. Moreover, she knew that Si Ya had always disliked her and bullied Si Fan behind her back. For Si Yi¡¯s sake, she advised Si Fan and herself to bear with it. However, she did not expect that no matter how much she endured, she would not be able to escape this day. Enduring and compromising would only make Si Ya more unscrupulous. It was Si Fan this time, but it would be her or her son next time¡­ She thought for a few minutes. Jiang Qin made up her mind. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, Mingyuan. I won¡¯t abandon Fanfan. I won¡¯t abandon either of them. Since you insist on chasing us away, I¡¯ll do as you wish. Fanfan, let¡¯s pack up and leave immediately!¡± Jiang Qin grabbed Si Fan¡¯s hand and stormed upstairs. Si Fan raised her eyebrows. She did not expect the usually weak Jiang Qin to suddenly become so stubborn. Initially, she thought that if the Si Family really chased her away, she could just leave. After all, she was alone and would be at ease. After all, she had the ability to support herself. However, she did not expect Jiang Qin to suddenly rise up and decide to leave the Si Family with her. However, it was obvious that Jiang Qin¡¯s rising at this moment was probably because of the grievances she had accumulated over the years, as well as her resentment and anger towards Si Mingyuan¡¯s heartlessness. If she remembered that Si Yi still needed treatment in the hospital, she would not be so stubborn. Soon, Jiang Qin came down with her packed luggage, followed by Si Fan. Si Ya couldn¡¯t stop smiling when she saw this scene. She had finally chased the mother and daughter away! Si Mingyuan looked up and frowned. He thought that Jiang Qin was just spouting nonsense out of anger. He did not expect her to really pack her luggage and bring it down. He walked over angrily. ¡°Jiang Qin, are you really leaving the Si Family?! You should know better than me what it means to leave the Si Family!¡± It meant that Jiang Qin had to return to her former abyssal life. She would not be able to fill her stomach or wear warm clothes. She would also have to bear a huge sum of medical expenses! As for Jiang Qin, who was already over forty years old, what ability did she have to survive?! Not to mention that she was a woman! Women were born to rely on men to live. Without a man, she could not do anything! Not to mention earning money to support two useless people! ¡°Mingyuan, when I wasn¡¯t married to you back then, I lived a bitter life and was constantly worried that something would happen tomorrow, that I wouldn¡¯t have money to eat, that my children would be sick and I wouldn¡¯t have money to treat them. At that time, I was working hard for my two children. I was full, free, bitter, but happy. I wasn¡¯t like now, carefully serving your family without any recognition. I looked at your faces every day and my heart was filled with fatigue. Sometimes, I even felt that it was difficult to breathe. I¡¯m really too tired. Let¡¯s separate for a period of time.¡± Jiang Qin held back her tears and held Si Fan¡¯s hand, wanting to leave. Si Mingyuan¡¯s face was ashen. ¡°Jiang Qin, you¡¯ll regret it. I can guarantee that you¡¯ll come back to beg for my forgiveness soon. By then, it¡¯ll be impossible for me to forgive you so easily!¡± Jiang Qin didn¡¯t say anything, but her eyes turned red. She choked and couldn¡¯t speak. It was obvious that she was heartbroken by Si Mingyuan¡¯s words. Si Fan suddenly spoke, her tone extremely calm. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, that day won¡¯t come!¡± Si Mingyuan sneered. ¡°Ha, what a joke. Other than the Si Family taking her in, where else can she go? Beg on the streets and live in a filthy and disgusting beggar¡¯s nest?¡± Chapter 9 Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations ¡°Oh? Wait and see if we will beg!¡± Si Fan smiled lightly and grabbed Jiang Qin¡¯s hand, wanting to turn around and leave. However, she seemed to have thought of something and stopped in her tracks. Si Mingyuan couldn¡¯t help but laugh mockingly. ¡°Going back on your word so soon?¡± ¡°Oh, no. I just remembered that there was a recording that I didn¡¯t let you guys listen to.¡± Si Fan smiled faintly and casually took out her phone to play a recording. ¡°Si Fan, you didn¡¯t come back last night. Where did you fool around?!¡± ¡°Hey, I¡¯m talking to you. Why aren¡¯t you replying? Where did you fool around last night? Did you sleep with a man?!¡± ¡°Alright, Si Fan. I didn¡¯t expect you to be such a person. How disgusting!¡± Vicious and mocking words came from the recording one after another. Every time they came out, they would ruthlessly refute Si Ya. At this moment, her face was already red from the rebuttal. Shame! Embarrassment! Si Mingyuan widened his eyes in shock. Si Fan was not the one who hit Si Ya. Si Ya was the one who antagonized Si Fan, and she even wronged Si Fan in a scene that was comparable to Dou E1¡¯s. All of a sudden, Si Mingyuan¡¯s face was filled with embarrassment. He even wished he could disappear on the spot. Jiang Qin¡¯s eyes were already red. ¡°Good, very good. Si Mingyuan, this is the good daughter you¡¯re protecting. Not only did she curse my daughter, but she also gets the servants to bully and wrong her. She¡¯s really scheming and vicious! Just you wait, she won¡¯t have a good ending sooner or later!!!¡± With that, she pulled Si Fan and left without hesitation. Si Fan turned around and smiled. When Si Mingyuan saw Si Fan¡¯s meaningful smile, the awkwardness in his heart disappeared without a trace. He was so angry that he laughed. ¡°You¡¯re all useless. If you want to leave, so be it. Let¡¯s see how long you can last!!¡± Si Ya covered the corner of her mouth that was about to split open from her giant smile and hurriedly said, ¡°Dad, let me explain. That recording was created by that evil woman, Si Fan. It¡¯s not real at all!¡± However, how could a recording be synthesized in such a short time?! Si Mingyuan wasn¡¯t stupid. He could tell that Si Ya was lying, but he didn¡¯t expose her. Actually, as the head of the family, he knew what Si Ya had done to Si Fan in private, but he chose to do nothing. This was because he really did not like Jiang Qin¡¯s daughter. Her son didn¡¯t matter to him. After all, his former wife died before she could give birth to a son. Jiang Qin¡¯s son happened to make up for his lack of wanting a son. But forget about Jiang Qin¡¯s daughter. After all, he already had two daughters. That was enough. One more would be a burden. Besides, Si Fan was a bottom-feeder who knew nothing. It was annoying! It was good for her to leave now. Jiang Qin would choose to abandon Si Fan and come back obediently when she couldn¡¯t take it anymore and regretted it. She was just a daughter. After she got married, she was like water that had been splashed out. She was worthless. Jiang Qin should understand this principle! At the thought of this, Si Mingyuan wasn¡¯t angry anymore. He started to call the kitchen auntie to make lunch. Si Ya heaved a sigh of relief. Fortunately, her father didn¡¯t blame her. Anyway, Father should be happy to have successfully chased an eyesore out of the house. How could he be angry?! Si Ya immediately smiled smugly and instructed the servants to apply medicine to her nose. Soon, the food in the kitchen was ready. However, the dishes cooked were not to Si Mingyuan and Si Ya¡¯s liking. Si Mingyuan threw his chopsticks aside and questioned the maid with displeasure in his eyes. ¡°Why is the food so bad?!¡± The servant replied fearfully, ¡°Master, Madam usually cooks the dishes herself. We usually don¡¯t have the chance to cook, so¡­¡± Si Mingyuan frowned. That¡¯s right. Jiang Qin knew that he had a picky taste, so she often thought of ways to make him delicious food. Almost every meal was different. Now that it was someone else cooking, he was naturally not used to it. However, when he thought about how Jiang Qin would be back soon, he endured it for a few days. He would make her cook more delicious food when she returned! Si Mingyuan seemed to have thought of something. He took out his phone and called the bank, stopping all the bank cards he gave Jiang Qin. Without the cards, she would not be able to roam outside. After Si Mingyuan hung up, he had no appetite and went upstairs to rest. Si Ya also pushed her bowl and chopsticks away in disdain. She touched her nose that had just been applied with medicine. Her nose hurt so much that she lost her appetite. It was all Si Fan¡¯s fault! If not for her, her nose would not have become like this! Fortunately, she had chased Si Fan out! Otherwise, she would be disgusted to death! Suddenly, she thought of Si Xue, who was still preparing for the violin competition in school. She took out her phone and gave her the good news about Jiang Qin and Si Fan being chased out of the house¡­ *** After Jiang Qin and Si Fan left the Si Family, they went to find a hotel and planned to stay there for a few days. However, just as Jiang Qin was about to pay, she realized that she could not pay with all her cards. The cashier tried more than 10 cards and was a little impatient. ¡°Madam, your cards have been frozen.¡± She glanced at Jiang Qin, who was dressed elegantly, and a trace of disdain flashed across her eyes. Jiang Qin looked quite rich in this outfit. She thought that Jiang Qin was a rich lady, but she did not expect her to be an imposter wearing an expensive coat! This set of clothes was probably replicas that she had bought online! Jiang Qin didn¡¯t know what the service staff was thinking. She didn¡¯t expect Si Mingyuan to be so heartless as to stop all the cards he gave her. It seemed that he really wanted to cut off their last bit of relationship as husband and wife. Jiang Qin suppressed her anger and heartache. After searching for a long time, she finally took out her own card and handed it to the service staff. ¡°Sorry, please try this card again.¡± She had saved up in this card slowly by taking up part-time work when Si Mingyuan wasn¡¯t paying attention. After 10 years, there were at least hundreds of thousands of yuans in it. The cashier rolled her eyes. ¡°I hope it won¡¯t be canceled again. I¡¯ve seen many customers like you who pretend to be rich when you don¡¯t have money!¡± Jiang Qin frowned, but she did not retort. She was used to seeing all kinds of people in her life, and her sharp edges had long been worn down. Her breathing slowed with some caution. Then she handed the card to the cashier, smiled, and lowered her posture. ¡°Try again. This card definitely has the money.¡± The cashier immediately felt that she was high up in the air. She snorted and wanted to take the card. However, before she could touch it, the card was snatched away by a slender hand. The cashier frowned and her gaze followed the hand up. A bright and dazzling face appeared. Her peach blossom eyes were cold, making one¡¯s heart tremble. The cashier bit her lip and glared at Si Fan. ¡°Why did you take the card away? Are you still going to book a hotel room?¡± Jiang Qin instinctively replied anxiously, ¡°Yes, of course!¡± The cashier grumbled, ¡°Then quickly get your daughter to give the card to me! Seriously, you¡¯re wasting my time!¡± Jiang Qin hurriedly looked at Si Fan and said, ¡°Fanfan, hurry up and give her the card. Mom still has some money to book a good hotel for a few days.¡± Si Fan narrowed her eyes and stuffed the card back into Jiang Qin¡¯s hands. Her voice was low and cold. ¡°We¡¯re not booking anymore.¡± Jiang Qin stared blankly at Si Fan, whose aura had changed drastically. Was this still the daughter who didn¡¯t even dare to speak loudly? The cashier seemed to have been fooled. She was angry and mocked, ¡°Are you not booking? Or do you not have the money to book it?!¡± Si Fan glanced at the cashier and sneered. ¡°I don¡¯t want to book here because¡­ I don¡¯t like you.¡± ¡°You!¡± The cashier¡¯s face was ashen. ¡°I think you don¡¯t have the money to book, so you¡¯re deliberately causing trouble in my hotel, right? I¡¯ve seen many people like you who took money from our hotel¡¯s competitors to deliberately mess up our hotel!¡± Jiang Qin was shocked and quickly explained, ¡°No, no, you¡¯ve misunderstood. We¡¯re not sent by your competitors. We just want to stay in a hotel!¡± When the cashier saw that Jiang Qin was afraid, she became even more confident. ¡°You still want to quibble?! Look at how you dress. You¡¯re actually disgusting fraudsters!¡± Before she could finish speaking, a delicate hand grabbed the cashier¡¯s collar through the cashier¡¯s counter. She pulled hard! She pulled her right over. Si Fan¡¯s slender fingers slowly twisted the cashier¡¯s collar. She raised her chin slightly and lowered her voice. ¡°Apologize!¡± The cashier¡¯s collar was gripped tightly, as if her neck was being strangled by Si Fan. She could barely breathe, and her face was red. She was both afraid and angry. ¡°You, let go of me now, or I¡¯ll call the security officers over and send you to the police station!¡± Chapter 10 Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Jiang Qin was frightened and her face turned pale. She quickly grabbed Si Fan¡¯s hand. ¡°Fanfan, let go of her quickly. If this matter goes to the police station, it won¡¯t be good for us and the Si Family!¡± She didn¡¯t want to make a fool of herself by running away from home and end up in the police station. In the end, she would definitely have to beg Si Mingyuan to do it personally to get them out of the police station. Then what was the point of her running away from home?! Si Fan did not care. In her world, those who followed her would prosper, and those who opposed her would die! Didn¡¯t she have enough blood on her hands?! This blind thing in front of her would have long become a corpse under her feet if not for the rules of survival in this world restricting her! Si Fan narrowed her eyes and a strong murderous aura erupted from her body. She said word by word, ¡°Apologize!¡± The cashier was so frightened by Si Fan¡¯s aura that her face turned pale. Her legs went weak and she couldn¡¯t help but kneel down. She had a strong feeling that if she refused to apologize now, her head might end up being separated from her body. The cashier almost burst into tears. She was no longer as arrogant as before. ¡°I-I¡¯m sorry. I-I was wrong. I shouldn¡¯t have been so arrogant to you¡­¡± Si Fan sneered and slowly let go of the cashier¡¯s collar when she heard that. She patted the cashier¡¯s face with her fair palm and said coldly, ¡°That¡¯s more like it.¡± The cashier¡¯s legs went weak. The moment Si Fan let go of her, she fell to the ground weakly. Jiang Qin had the same expression. Her daughter was so domineering that she had stunned her?! She asked in her heart again. Is this really her timid, cowardly, and incompetent daughter? This was clearly a fierce god, right?! At this moment, Jiang Qin saw a group of burly men in security officers¡¯ uniforms walking towards them. She was so frightened that her face turned pale. She lifted her luggage with one hand and grabbed Si Fan¡¯s hand with the other. ¡°Fanfan, the security officers are here. They must be here to catch us. Run quickly!!!¡± She didn¡¯t want to go to the police station! Just as Jiang Qin was about to run away, the hotel manager who led the security officers over suddenly stopped her. ¡°Ladies, please wait!¡± Seeing that she couldn¡¯t escape, Jiang Qin could only beg the hotel manager in a low voice, ¡°I¡¯m sorry, I¡¯m sorry. My daughter didn¡¯t hit anyone on purpose just now. She j-just¡­¡± Just what? The anxious Jiang Qin did not know how to explain the earlier situation. ¡°Actually, I should be the one apologizing, Madam. I¡¯ve already found out what happened through the surveillance cameras. It¡¯s our hotel¡¯s employee¡¯s service attitude that¡¯s wrong. I¡¯ll fire this employee immediately. Of course, as compensation, our hotel will apply for a free occupancy experience card for you. You can experience our hotel¡¯s VIP presidential suite free for a week!¡± The hotel manager smiled and handed the experience card to Jiang Qin, along with a room card for the presidential suite. Jiang Qin was dumbfounded. She never expected such a turn of events. The hotel manager saw that Jiang Qin was in a daze and did not take it, so he changed the direction of the card and handed it to Si Fan. He bent slightly and looked very sincere. Si Fan raised her eyebrows and calmly accepted the hotel manager¡¯s experience card and room card. ¡°Thanks.¡± The presidential suite was a freebie. It would be a waste not to take it. She was an exquisite queen. She could not let herself suffer. The hotel manager nodded at Si Fan and called the security officers to take the cashier away. Then, he personally sent Si Fan and Jiang Qin to the presidential VIP suite on the top floor. Si Fan could clearly feel that the gaze that had been on her suddenly disappeared as the elevator door closed when they were taking the elevator. A few seconds before the elevator door closed, Si Fan lifted her eyelids and saw a black silhouette standing against the railing on the second floor. The bright light blurred his tall figure and made him look cozily warm. She couldn¡¯t see the man¡¯s outline clearly, but she met his gaze. He looked nonchalant, but he was very focused, as if he was staring at a prey. The elevator doors closed. Si Fan recalled that gaze and smiled playfully. Interesting. *** The man standing by the railing on the second floor watched the elevator slowly close. He still stared at the closed elevator door for a long time. After a while, he retracted his gaze and raised his hand. His well-defined index finger gently tapped the wireless earpiece in his ear and said calmly, ¡°Treat them well.¡± Then, he turned around and left. Si Fan and Jiang Qin followed the hotel manager to the exclusive VIP presidential suite. After the hotel manager sent the mother and daughter in, he smiled and instructed them before turning to leave, giving the two of them some quiet rest. Jiang Qin patted her face, still in a daze. ¡°This¡­ Am I dreaming?¡± Why did they suddenly move into the presidential suite? She had just learned from the front desk that a presidential suite cost tens of thousands a night! Wouldn¡¯t the experience card cost hundreds of thousands a week? Was this hotel manager so stupid to give them the experience for nothing?? Si Fan shifted her gaze and asked calmly, ¡°What do you think?¡± Jiang Qin looked at her daughter and opened her mouth. She wanted to say something, but in the end, she could not say anything. Just take it that the hotel manager was stupid. Si Fan lowered her head and opened her luggage. She found a set of clothes and casually draped it over her shoulders. ¡°I¡¯ll go take a shower first!¡± With that, she went into the bathroom. She had fought a few fights today, so she was sweating, sticky, and uncomfortable. Half an hour later. Si Fan came out of the shower with wet hair and a white towel covering her head. She looked rather impatient as she wiped her hair. It was mainly because she was not used to having no one to serve her when she showered. Suddenly, she stopped in her tracks and her gaze landed on the sofa. Jiang Qin sat there in a daze. No one knew what she was thinking. Jiang Qin seemed to have sensed Si Fan¡¯s movements. She rolled her eyes to the side and said in a disappointed and confused tone, ¡°Fanfan, we have left the Si Family. What should we do in the future?!¡± She was so angry that her head was dizzy. In a fit of anger, she packed her luggage and came out. Now that she had calmed down, she realized that she had made the wrong decision. She had no job, no salary, and no income. How was she going to pay Si Yi¡¯s medical bills?! Moreover, Si Fan¡¯s university fees would also cost money. Even if she found a job, she could not afford it. Therefore, she regretted it now that her thoughts were clear. Jiang Qin held her forehead and sighed. ¡°Sigh. If I had known earlier, I wouldn¡¯t have left so forcefully. It was Si Ya¡¯s fault, not yours. We were the ones on the right. As long as I softened my attitude, Si Mingyuan wouldn¡¯t have been so heartless to us mother and daughter¡­¡± At that time, she was really furious, so she spoke without thinking. Sigh! Si Fan questioned her mercilessly and sneered. ¡°Do you think that¡¯s possible?¡± Jiang Qin was stunned by Si Fan¡¯s question. Chapter 11 Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Was it possible? Actually, she knew very well that Si Mingyuan had never liked Si Fan. In the beginning, when she found out that Si Ya bullied Si Fan, she tried to have a pillow talk with him. However, it was useless. Si Mingyuan didn¡¯t care at all. He only said that it was normal for children to fight. It wasn¡¯t appropriate for adults to get involved. However, if Si Fan treated Si Ya badly, Si Mingyuan would roll his eyes at her and deduct Si Fan¡¯s pocket money, causing Si Fan to not be able to eat or wear well in school. There was even one time when she was seriously anemic and was hospitalized. From then on, she knew that Si Mingyuan¡¯s attitude towards Si Fan would never change. Si Ya¡¯s injury today was Si Mingyuan¡¯s complete outburst. He must have tolerated Si Fan for a long time, so this time, he had to chase Si Fan out of the Si Family. Moreover, he had also succeeded¡­ Jiang Qin leaned against the sofa dispiritedly and supported her forehead with her hand, not knowing what to do¡­ Seeing Jiang Qin¡¯s hopeless expression, Si Fan¡¯s lips twitched. ¡°Don¡¯t worry. With me around, everything will get better.¡± Jiang Qin felt even more despair when she heard this. Instead of relying on Si Fan, she might as well pray for God to give her a way out. Forget it. I¡¯ll take it one step at a time. At least now, I can stay in this Shengfan Hotel for a week. She only needed to find a job within a week. However, finding a good job was easier said than done¡­ As she was thinking, the doorbell rang. Jiang Qin instinctively looked at Si Fan and stood up. ¡°I¡¯ll go take a look.¡± Si Fan frowned and thought of the man he saw on the railing on the second floor. She followed behind Jiang Qin. She realized that it was a hotel service when she opened the door. Two handsome men stood at the door and asked politely, ¡°Ahem, may I ask if you two beautiful ladies need any special services?¡± ¡°No, no, no, I won¡¯t do it anymore!¡± Jiang Qin¡¯s old face turned red as she hurriedly waved her hands. Oh my god, this hotel was too indecent. It actually¡­ actually had that kind of indecent service. Once they left the hotel, they would report it immediately! Si Fan crossed her arms calmly. ¡°What special service?¡± Jiang Qin immediately widened her eyes and looked at her daughter. Th-this¡­ Not only had her daughter¡¯s personality changed, but she had also become more open-minded?! One of the handsome men took out the menu. ¡°Miss, take a look. It¡¯s a full set.¡± Si Fan took it and glanced at it. A trace of disappointment flashed past her eyes. So it was just a massage. She thought¡­ It was a ¡°bedtime service¡±. Jiang Qin also saw it and heaved a sigh of relief. So it was just a false alarm. She quickly urged the two handsome young men to leave. ¡°Please go. We don¡¯t need this kind of massage service.¡± The two handsome guys nodded and looked at Si Fan reluctantly before turning to leave. They couldn¡¯t help but whisper to each other when they left. ¡°That girl is so beautiful!¡± ¡°What a great body!¡± ¡°Unfortunately, I didn¡¯t manage to serve her.¡± ¡°¡­¡± Jiang Qin. Si Fan turned around and left, frowning. What she regretted the most before she died in her previous life was that there was nobody in her harem. She was alone. Not to mention that she did not even have an heir, she did not even have a man. In this life, she should make up for this regret. Shortly after the two lads left, the doorbell rang again. However, it was not a strange service. It was just a food delivery service. Moreover, the dishes were quite sumptuous, much more sumptuous than the ones they had at the Si Family. There was top-notch French foie gras. Red-hot Tomahawk Steak. King Crab Golden Armor. Etc. It was an appetizing sight. As expected of the penthouse service of the hotel, it had a five-star rating. Si Fan slowly cut the foie gras. She chewed and swallowed it slowly. She had the aura of a noble. However, Jiang Qin did not notice them. Even if the dishes were rich, she did not have much appetite. After all, this was the first time she had done something so out of line. It was inevitable that she would be worried. During this period, Si Mingyuan hadn¡¯t called her at all. It seemed like he was determined to divorce her. Therefore, her mood was especially grave. Although she and Si Mingyuan were only getting what they needed, they had been together for so many years. Even though they didn¡¯t have a deep relationship, they were used to each other¡¯s existence. She was still a little uncomfortable now that she had suddenly left. Suddenly, Si Fan placed her chopsticks on the table. ¡°I¡¯m full. I¡¯m going to rest.¡± When Jiang Qin heard that, she suddenly remembered something important. ¡°Wait, Mom forgot to ask you. What did you do this morning? Why didn¡¯t you answer my calls?¡± Si Fan wiped her mouth with a tissue and said elegantly, ¡°Nothing much. I just taught a blind fool a lesson!¡± Jiang Qin tightened her grip on her chopsticks. She was instantly nervous. ¡°Y-you better not cause trouble. Of course, don¡¯t mess around with random people. It will be serious if you end up in the police station.¡± Si Fan stood up slowly. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I know what I¡¯m doing.¡± ¡°I¡¯m sleepy. I¡¯m going to sleep first.¡± With that, she turned around and walked straight to one of the bedrooms. Jiang Qin glanced at the time on her cell phone. ¡°It¡¯s only eight in the evening and she is already going to sleep?¡± She sighed and did not say anything. She wanted to force a few more mouthfuls of rice into her stomach. Even if she had no appetite, she had to eat. After Si Fan entered the bedroom, she set the alarm on her cell phone and fell asleep on the bed¡­ *** Around two in the morning. Si Fan yawned and walked out of the room. In the pitch-black night, one could not even see their fingers. However, Si Fan could accurately bypass the obstacles in the room and walk to the door. She opened it and entered. Then she closed the door quietly. She crossed the corridor and took the elevator down to the first floor. The hotel was open 24 hours a day and there were two security officers guarding the entrance. The two security officers were stunned when they saw Si Fan walking towards them. What was she trying to do in the middle of the night?! This girl had delicate skin and was very beautiful. Perhaps, she was going out to do something illegal?! Although the two security officers were puzzled, it was not appropriate for them to ask as it was someone else¡¯s business. They just watched Si Fan leave the hotel. As for why Si Fan left the hotel, it was because she was looking for something to do. After all, she was poor now, so poor that she only had 222.2 yuan in her phone. If she did not go out to look for money, she would starve to death sooner or later. Moreover, the hundreds of thousands of yuan on Jiang Qin¡¯s card was not even enough to cover the medical expenses of her younger brother, who was lying in the hospital, for a few days. How troublesome! She was the God of War and Queen, but she had fallen so low that she had to earn money to support herself. How embarrassing! Si Fan strolled around until she reached the night market. Suddenly, a flyer flew into her face. Who was the one who threw the trash?? Si Fan frowned and took a look at the flyer. The golden 500,000 yuan bonus on the flyer almost blinded her. The champion of the boxing competition could receive 500,000 yuan as a bonus?! Heh, it didn¡¯t take much effort to get it. Wasn¡¯t this equal to sending money to her?! Si Fan glanced at the address and walked towards it. Emperor Dun Underground Fighting Arena. A grand boxing match was about to begin. At this moment, the audience around the fighting arena was bustling with noise and hormones. It was said that the contestants were champions from various countries and were very powerful. Tonight¡¯s competition was destined to be an intense and exciting game. At this moment, Si Fan had successfully sneaked in. However, she was stopped by a strong man when she reached the registration area. ¡°Young lady, women can¡¯t participate in boxing competitions!¡± Chapter 12 Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Dang! Wasn¡¯t this discrimination against women? Si Fan narrowed her eyes dangerously. ¡°Why can¡¯t women participate?!¡± The burly man sized up Si Fan with a frivolous gaze. ¡°Young lady, with your thin arms and legs, I¡¯m afraid you can¡¯t even withstand a single move from a man, right? Tsk, tsk, tsk. You¡¯d better wash up obediently and lie on the bed to serve a man. If you serve him comfortably, perhaps¡­¡± Before he could finish his sentence, Si Fan¡¯s clean white canvas shoes kicked the burly man¡¯s knee. The burly man bent his knees and knelt down. His facial features were almost distorted from the pain. Si Fan raised her leg again and kicked him in the chest, sending him flying. ¡°I¡¯ll serve your a**!¡± Was this trash even worthy?! After Si Fan finished speaking coldly, she turned around and left. She did not even look at the male contestants behind her who were dumbfounded. The burly man endured the pain and got up from the ground. He gritted his teeth and stared at the direction where the girl had disappeared. Damn it, how embarrassing. He was actually kicked to his knees by a woman and even sent flying. This d*mn woman. Don¡¯t let him see her again, or she¡¯ll be in trouble! The burly man reluctantly walked to the entrance of the competition area and continued to guard it. Ten minutes later, a boy in a black sweater, baseball cap, and black mask walked over. ¡°I¡¯m signing up!¡± He spoke in a cold tone. The burly man looked at the skinny little boy who was less than 1.7 meters tall and frowned. Not only was this man short, but he was also as thin as a bamboo stick. Could he withstand a blow from another man? He would probably be killed with a punch. The contestants who participated in the competition had to sign a promise, which was an agreement that the organizers did not need to compensate for injuries or deaths during the competition. However, it would affect the organizer very badly if someone died. After thinking for a while, the burly man said, ¡°Sorry, your physique is too weak. You¡¯re not qualified to participate in the competition!¡± Damn! It was fine if she could not participate in the competition when she was a woman, but now that she was disguised as a man, she could not participate in the competition?! Si Fan clenched her fists tightly, clearly on the verge of losing her temper. Her lips moved and her tone was cold. ¡°Try saying that again?!¡± ¡°I said, you don¡¯t have the¡­¡± Before the burly man could finish his sentence, Si Fan grabbed his wrist and threw him onto the ground in a standard over-the-shoulder posture. He fell to the ground and almost dislocated his internal organs. The burly man was stunned. Damn it, who did he offend?! He had fallen twice in a row tonight, and it was by people he looked down on. Did he still have any pride left?! Si Fan looked down at the burly man and kicked his thigh. Her aura was cold and arrogant. Her eyes were arrogant. ¡°Am I qualified to participate?¡± The burly man was on the brink of tears. ¡°Yes, yes¡­¡± ¡°Hmph!¡± Si Fan glanced at the burly man coldly and walked into the registration area. She casually wrote down a code name in the registration column. There was also the indemnity form. She domineeringly stamped her thumbprint. Just like that, she successfully registered. Another burly man looked at Si Fan fearfully and handed over her number plate. ¡°Contestant King, this is your number plate. Take it and wait at the contestant¡¯s waiting area.¡± Si Fan took the number plate and hummed lightly. She followed the sign and walked towards the waiting area. The burly man wiped his cold sweat. ¡°Damn, this contestant is really fierce!¡± Although he looked small, his aura was even more domineering than the other contestants! Si Fan walked to the waiting area. The moment her thin and cold figure appeared, it attracted the attention of all the contestants. Compared to other heavyweight contestants, Si Fan¡¯s body was less than a quarter of theirs. Such a small body could probably be crushed with a finger, right? Moreover, he looked fair and clean, like a sissy. If it hurt, would he cry like a baby? This was too disgusting! He did not know which unlucky fellow would be fighting him. Hahaha! Many contestants were already mocking him. Si Fan looked straight ahead and found an empty seat to sit down. She crossed her legs and rested her elbows on the armrest. She picked up her phone and played, completely ignoring the mocking laughter around her. Instead, it made those who mocked her unable to continue on. At this moment, a young man with an afro noticed Si Fan and mocked her. ¡°Hey, you¡¯re quite bold. You actually dare to sit in our Brother Tiger¡¯s exclusive seat. Aren¡¯t you afraid of being sent flying by Brother Tiger¡¯s palm?!¡± A shadow loomed over her, blocking the light. Si Fan looked up. As she was inexplicably disturbed, her tone was a little unhappy. ¡°Brother Tiger? Which one is it?¡± The afro laughed. ¡°Wow, you don¡¯t even know our Brother Tiger. You¡¯re really a country bumpkin. Did you just come from some mountain in the countryside to participate in the competition?¡± Si Fan couldn¡¯t be bothered to talk to a retard. Seeing that Si Fan was ignoring him, the afro flew into a rage out of humiliation. Just as he was about to say something, he heard a loud bang. Rumble, rumble. Those who didn¡¯t know better would think that there was an earthquake. Afro¡¯s eyes lit up. ¡°Brother Tiger is here!¡± The other contestants became nervous. Brother Tiger was as strong as a tiger. He was 1.9 meters tall and weighed 150 kilograms. The key was that his weight was not the weight of fat, but the weight of muscles. His arm was the size of the body of a seven or eight-year-old child, let alone other parts of his body. Moreover, Brother Tiger¡¯s punching strength was the most terrifying among the contestants. It was as high as 1,350. A full-powered punch of his could kill a bull! No less than five boxers had died under his fists. Tonight, he was the most promising among all the contestants. With him around, the champion¡¯s title was almost reserved by him. The heavy footsteps stopped. The legendary Brother Tiger had finally revealed his true form. He was wearing black pants, revealing his muscles. A black totem was branded on his muscular bronze skin with bulging veins. It looked very terrifying. Some people had yet to exchange blows with him, but they were already frightened by his huge body and powerful aura. When the afro saw Brother Tiger, he immediately walked up to him to make his presence known. ¡°Brother Tiger, your seat has been occupied by a young chicken. Not only has this young chicken occupied your seat, but he doesn¡¯t even know your name. It¡¯s obvious that he doesn¡¯t take you seriously!¡± When Brother Tiger heard this, he turned his heavy head around and looked at Si Fan. His large eyes widened and the whites of his eyes protruded, making him look even more terrifying. Si Fan glanced at Brother Tiger and pulled down the brim of her hat. She tilted her head and closed her eyes. She did not take Brother Tiger seriously at all. The veins on Brother Tiger¡¯s forehead bulged. He raised his leg and walked towards Si Fan aggressively. He walked in front of Si Fan and roared like a tiger. ¡°Get up!¡± Si Fan did not move. Afro walked over and said arrogantly, ¡°Hey, little rookie, are you deaf? Our Brother Tiger asked you to get up, but you couldn¡¯t hear him?!¡± Si Fan snickered, her eyes cold. ¡°So what if I heard it? I was the one who sat here first. If I don¡¯t move, what can you do to me?¡± Chapter 13 Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Holy sh*t! This little chicken was quite arrogant! He even dared to provoke Brother Tiger. He probably didn¡¯t know Brother Tiger¡¯s reputation in the underground fighting arena, right? If he knew, how would he have the guts to challenge Brother Tiger¡¯s authority? Tsk, tsk, tsk. Poor little chicken. He would probably be tortured by Brother Tiger next! As expected, Brother Tiger was infuriated. A fierce expression appeared on his face. ¡°Little chicken, I think you have a death wish. Do you believe that I¡¯ll let you come in vertically and leave horizontally!¡± Si Fan raised her head slightly. Under her baseball cap, her eyes were cold and arrogant. ¡°Oh, come on. I¡¯ll wait for you!¡± Her tone was extremely arrogant! Brother Tiger felt his scalp ignite as he raised his hand. Bang! The coffee table beside him was overturned by his large hand. The fruits and plates on it fell to the ground and shattered into pieces. Some people couldn¡¯t help but start to jeer, ¡°Fight!¡± ¡°Fight! Fight!¡± Brother Tiger clenched his fists and punched each other, making crisp cracking sounds. Every sound seemed to jump in their hearts, making them nervous and excited. Afro also cheered. ¡°Brother Tiger, you can do it. Brother Tiger, you can do it. Hurry up and smash up this little chicken¡¯s head!¡± In reality, he was secretly delighted. Let¡¯s fight, let¡¯s fight. The fiercer the better! This was because fighting was prohibited in the contestant¡¯s waiting room. Those who fought and caused trouble would be chased out and disqualified from the competition. The afro saw that Brother Tiger was so powerful and was a popular candidate for the championship. As long as Brother Tiger was around, the chances of others, including him, winning the championship or even the top three were slim. The best way was to make Brother Tiger lose his qualification to participate in the competition. That was why he deliberately provoked the conflict between Brother Tiger and a little chicken. Fortunately, the little chicken was a fool. If not for his provocation, Brother Tiger might not have fallen into the trap so easily. Hahaha, the heavens were really helping him! However, just as Brother Tiger was about to attack Si Fan, the administrator who was maintaining the order of the competition arrived. ¡°Stop!¡± Brother Tiger shouted at the administrator, ¡°F*ck, mind your own business!¡± The administrator frowned. ¡°If you don¡¯t want to lose the right to compete, stop!¡± ¡°Who do you think you are? How dare you threaten me?!¡± Brother Tiger was used to being lawless. How could he listen to a mere administrator? Without a word, he raised his fist and punched the administrator¡¯s face. With this strength, a punch would definitely flatten the administrator¡¯s face. Fear also appeared on the administrator¡¯s face. Brother Tiger¡¯s fist was about to hit the administrator¡¯s face. Si Fan¡¯s expression was calm as she took out the only coin in his pocket. She clamped her index and middle fingers together and aimed at Brother Tiger¡¯s knees, making a throwing motion. Just as she was about to be sent flying, a cold voice sounded. ¡°Gu Hu1, how dare you cause trouble in Emperor Lie¡¯s territory!¡± When Brother Tiger heard the code name Emperor Lie, he immediately retracted his fist in fright. Then, he looked up at the door. Two tall and slender men walked in. One of them wore a silver mask while the other wore a red mask. The one wearing the silver mask was called Leng. The one with the red mask was called Lie. The two of them were the masters of the underground fighting arena and were not to be provoked. Among them, the most terrifying was Lie, who was wearing a red mask. He was the founder of Emperor Dun Underground Fighting Arena and the invincible champion who created the boxing legend. No one had broken the record he had set back then. Even Brother Tiger could only bow down obediently in front of him and call him Emperor Lie respectfully. When Brother Tiger saw the two men, his aura instantly disappeared. He lowered his head respectfully and cupped his fists. ¡°So it¡¯s Emperor Leng and Emperor Lie. Sorry for my disrespect!¡± The man in the silver mask sneered. ¡°Gu Hu, be careful. Don¡¯t forget the occasion. This is the contestant¡¯s waiting room, not the arena. If you want to fight, you can do whatever you want in the arena, but in other places¡­¡± There was a pause. ¡°Try me.¡± These three words sounded extremely cold. Brother Tiger¡¯s face turned pale and cold sweat broke out on his forehead. ¡°I wouldn¡¯t dare.¡± With that, the silver-masked man patted Lie beside him and turned to leave. Lie looked up and inadvertently glanced at the youth in the black baseball cap. He paused for a full three seconds. The young man¡¯s hat was pulled down extremely low. Coupled with the black mask, it was almost impossible to see his face clearly. Only the outline of his face was vaguely outlined. His fingers were white and thin. He spun and fiddled a silver coin with his fingertips, as if the silver coin had a life of its own. She felt a gaze on her. Si Fan looked up and met a pair of pitch-black eyes. Deep, obscure, wild, and unfathomable. The red mask fitted the upper half of his face tightly, outlining the contours of his arrogant face. His high nose bridge, thin lips, and perfect jawline were revealed. The man¡¯s Adam¡¯s apple was very prominent, sharp and sexy. Even the tightly buttoned collar of his shirt could not hide the subtle curve of his collarbone. The black shirt clung tightly to his firm and powerful body. One could vaguely see his faintly discernible muscles, which were filled with a mysterious temptation. Si Fan, who had seen countless handsome men, knew at a glance that this man was a top-notch man. The corners of her lips, which were hidden under the mask, curled up slightly. She really wanted to tear off the mask and see how beautiful the face underneath was. The man stared at Si Fan¡¯s playful eyes indifferently for a few seconds before looking away and leaving. Si Fan clicked her tongue. The handsome man had left. Seeing that the two big bosses had left, Brother Tiger finally revealed his fierceness. He glared fiercely at Si Fan. ¡°Little chicken, just you wait. Don¡¯t let me face you in the ring, or I¡¯ll beat you up until you call me daddy!¡± Si Fan rolled her eyes and yawned. Boring! Afro was a little disappointed. In the end, they didn¡¯t fight. What a pity. In the private room on the third floor. After the silver-masked man entered the private room, he couldn¡¯t wait to take off his mask, revealing a handsome face. The man casually threw the mask on the sofa and sat down. He complained, ¡°Damn it, this mask is going to rub my face off!¡± The man in the red mask slowly took off his mask and held it in his well-defined hand. The large black dragon totem on the back of Leng¡¯s white hand reflected the red mask. The veins on his hand were obvious, and he looked inexplicably wild. He casually played with it for a while before placing it on the coffee table. Then, he sat on the nearest armchair and leaned back lazily, crossing his long legs slowly. The chandelier above her head was dazzling. When it landed on the man¡¯s well-defined facial features, he was so handsome that it made one stop breathing. Jiang Wang glanced at the man sitting opposite him. His face was so handsome that even a peerless handsome man like him was jealous. ¡°Yan, I heard that you brought a woman back to the villa. Which family is that woman from?¡± Jun Yan¡¯s handsome brows furrowed. His voice was very faint and a little oppressive. ¡°Who did you hear it from?¡± Jiang Wang: ¡°Ahem. Of course it¡¯s Auntie.¡± Murong Xiang called his best friend, Jiang Wang, when she failed at asking Jun Yan if he had a woman. However, Jiang Wang was dumbfounded. He had no idea whether Jun Yan had a woman or not, okay! In the end, Murong Xiang confessed that Jun Yan carried a beautiful girl back to the villa and asked him to help ask who that beautiful girl was. Jun Yan frowned. ¡°Ignore her.¡± Jiang Wang shrugged. ¡°Alright, I can ignore Auntie, but you have to tell me who that woman is, right? You¡¯ve been single for 28 years, and suddenly a woman approached you. I¡¯m very curious!¡± ¡°Curiosity kills the cat. Cover your mouth.¡± Jun Yan glanced at Jiang Wang coldly, picked up a bottle of red wine, and threw it at him. Jiang Wang hurriedly reached out and caught it. Then, she glared at Jun Yan. ¡°F*ck, Brother, this bottle of red wine isn¡¯t cheap. If I didn¡¯t catch it, I¡¯ll have lost millions!¡± Jun Yan said, ¡°I¡¯ve already thrown it in front of you. You¡¯re quite useless if you can¡¯t catch it.¡± ¡°¡­¡± Jiang Wang. Alright, I can¡¯t afford to offend an angry man. I won¡¯t ask anymore! Although he couldn¡¯t get an answer, he was already very curious and interested in that woman. What kind of woman could make a man who never got close to women break his vow¡­ Chapter 14 Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations At the same time. The horn of the arena sounded. The audience in the stands were instantly excited. They stood up and shouted. On the other hand, the two men in the private room on the third floor were leisurely sipping their wine, unmoved. It was as if the sadness, joy, and anger of the outside world had nothing to do with them. The two capital big bosses valued the benefits brought by the competition, not the process of the competition. Suddenly, Jiang Wang said, ¡°Oh, right. Yan, did you notice a little boy with short arms and legs sitting in the corner?¡± Jun Yan held the wine glass with his slender fingers. He paused for a moment and replied calmly, ¡°Yes, why?¡± Jiang Wang said, ¡°That little boy is obviously looking for death. Tsk, I wonder if he bought insurance in advance.¡± He paid more attention to him because he was too petite and was targeted by Gu Hu. Jun Yan tapped the wine glass lightly with his index finger. He lowered his eyelids and his long eyelashes covered his eyes. ¡°Courting death? Not necessarily.¡± His deep voice was like smoke. It seemed erratic, but there was an inexplicable certainty. Jiang Wang smiled. ¡°Yan, don¡¯t tell me you think that little boy is an expert?¡± With his thin arms and legs, it was obvious that he had never exercised. Not to mention fighting, even carrying a few kilograms of pork would be tiring for him. Jun Yan didn¡¯t say anything and just took a sip of red wine. When Jiang Wang saw this, he laughed. ¡°Yan, why don¡¯t we make a bet?¡± It was rare for him and Jun Yan to have a difference of opinion because of a boy¡¯s strength. It would be a pity not to have a bet. Jun Yan¡¯s interest was piqued. He looked up and glanced at Jiang Wang. ¡°What are we betting on?¡± Jiang Wang immediately asked for an exorbitant price. ¡°How about that piece of land in the southern metro area of the city?¡± Jun Yan asked, ¡°What are you going to bet with me?¡± The moment Jiang Wang heard that, he knew that there was a chance. He chuckled. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, it will definitely be equivalent. I won¡¯t let you down!¡± In any case, Jun Yan wouldn¡¯t be able to beat him. His judgment had always been sharp and accurate. Therefore, Jun Yan was bound to lose! Jiang Wang was in a good mood when he thought about how he had obtained a piece of valuable land for free. Soon. The competition reached its climax. Ever since Brother Tiger entered the arena, almost all his opponents had been crushed. Afro was no exception. His face was red and swollen as he rolled down the arena in a sorry state. The sound of the referee judging Brother Tiger¡¯s victory came from the stage again. The cheers reached their peak. The referee glanced at the registration form and said, ¡°There¡¯s still the last contestant. As long as Brother Tiger defeats the last contestant, the boxing champion tonight will definitely be Brother Tiger!¡± Brother Tiger shuddered when he heard that. Finally, he had reached the final moment. As for the last contestant, he did not need to guess to know who it was. Hmph, it was time for him to take revenge! The referee looked at the registration form and said, ¡°The next contestant¡¯s name is very domineering. One look and you can tell that he¡¯s a very confident and powerful heavyweight contestant!¡± ¡°Now, let¡¯s welcome the next contestant, number 58, King!¡± King? What a domineering name! No one had dared to use the name ¡°King¡± in the Emperor Dun Challenge Tournament. After all, with Emperor Lie and Emperor Leng suppressing them, who would dare to step on them? And this King clearly didn¡¯t take Emperor Lie and Emperor Leng seriously. How powerful was a contestant who did not even care about Emperor Lie and Emperor Leng?! Everyone could not help but look forward to it. Even the referee was looking forward to this contestant King. However, when a slender young man wearing a baseball cap and a mask slowly walked onto the stage, everyone was dumbfounded, including the referee¡­ Who would have thought that such a domineering name was actually a little kid?! The group of people who had been looking forward to it were instantly disappointed. ¡°Pfft, how dare you call yourself King when you¡¯re not even 1.7 meters tall?!¡± ¡°If he¡¯s King, I¡¯m King¡¯s father!¡± ¡°With his f*cking height, I¡¯m afraid he can¡¯t even hit Brother Tiger¡¯s knees, let alone his head.¡± ¡°Hahaha, a battle between a giant and a dwarf. This is too damn funny!¡± On the audience stand, a wave of mocking laughter rose and fell. None of them were optimistic about this King. He must be here to deliver his head to Brother Tiger and make his presence known. The referee had been quite excited just now, but when he saw King in person, it was as if a bucket of cold water had been poured on his head. Needless to say, there was no suspense about the outcome of this match. It did not matter if they competed or not. When Brother Tiger saw that Si Fan still dared to stand in front of him, he sneered. ¡°Brat, how dare you stand in front of me. I hope you can continue to resist until the end and not be killed by me so easily!¡± In the arena, life and death were up to fate. It was common to accidentally kill someone. In any case, the kid had signed a indemnity form before participating in the competition. He did not need to take responsibility for being beating the chap to death in the arena. After all, it was consensual. Who could they blame?! Anyway, Brother Tiger had already decided to teach this brat a lesson. Even if he didn¡¯t kill him, he would cripple him in the arena before stopping! Si Fan didn¡¯t even look at Gu Hu. His posture was lazy, and his dark and cold peach blossom eyes were filled with recklessness and arrogance. It was as if the tall and mighty Gu Hu in front of her was a pile of unpresentable sh*t in front of her. Gu Hu was angered by Si Fan¡¯s arrogant attitude and couldn¡¯t help but shout at the referee, ¡°Hurry up and announce the start!¡± Hearing this, the referee quickly made a gesture. Three¡­ Two¡­ One¡­ The whistle blew¡ª Hearing the whistle, Jun Yan and Jiang Wang stood up at the same time. They came to the observation platform and looked down at the center of the arena. The young man in black clothes and black pants was cold and arrogant, looking fearless. On the other hand, Gu Hu had already fallen into a huge frenzy. He swung his huge limbs crazily, preparing to give the youth a fatal blow. In the audience, everyone was cheering for Brother Tiger uniformly. No one would think that this young man called King would win. They would only think that he was pretending. He would be so frightened that he knelt on the ground and begged for mercy when Gu Hu attacked him. Amidst everyone¡¯s anticipation, Gu Hu attacked first. As he strode towards the youth, the entire arena shook. The referee hid in the corner, afraid that he would get caught in the middle. Brother Tiger¡¯s big fist was about to hit the young man¡¯s head. Everyone tacitly closed their eyes, not daring to watch the bloody scene of that head being smashed in. A huge impact came. The hat on the young man¡¯s head was blown away. Her long black hair fluttered in the air like a fairy scattering flowers. Her bright peach blossom eyes were exceptionally cold and arrogant. Jiang Wang saw this scene and couldn¡¯t help but be stunned. ¡°Oh, I didn¡¯t expect this young man to be so artistic and fashionable. He actually has long hair and looks quite cool.¡± However, no matter how cool he was, he could not escape the fact that he would be beaten up. Jun Yan narrowed his eyes and pressed his well-defined fingers on the railing, exerting a little force. Chapter 15 Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations At the same time, Si Fan stared at the menacing Gu Hu and narrowed her peach blossom eyes. Then, with a flash, she quickly dodged Gu Hu¡¯s fist like a sharp sword being unsheathed. Gu Hu didn¡¯t expect Si Fan to escape when she was forced into a corner. He could not hold on any longer and his huge body pounced on the guardrail. Gu Hu quickly turned around, but he was hit by a heavy punch at the corner of his mouth. A few of his teeth instantly broke. ¡°Ow¡ª¡± Gu Hu¡¯s painful wails were deafening. His huge body fell onto the guardrail again. Before he could regain his senses, another heavy punch landed on his abdomen. It was so painful that his eyes bulged out. He knelt heavily on the ground and covered his abdomen with his large hand. His face twitched violently and he forgot to cry out in pain. Si Fan, who had attacked twice in a row, shook her arm and clenched her wrist with her fair fingers. She loosened her fists and clenched them tightly. She frowned. This body was really weak. She could not even unleash a little of her original strength. Everyone in the audience was dumbfounded when they saw Brother Gu kneeling in front of Si Fan. F*ck, what kind of terrifying strength was this?! Brother Tiger, who weighed 150 kilograms and had a punching force of 1,350, was actually beaten to the ground. She was clearly a pervert! The referee also came back to his senses and stood beside Gu Hu to count the seconds. As long as Gu Hu stood up within ten seconds, it meant that the competition was not over. ¡°One!¡± ¡°Brother Tiger, stand up!¡± ¡°Two!¡± ¡°Brother Tiger, continue. Don¡¯t be afraid. Just do it!¡± Gu Hu gritted his teeth. He held his abdomen tightly with one hand and clenched his other hand tightly. He placed his fist on the ground and wanted to stand up. However, a sharp pain came from his lower abdomen just as he got up. It was so painful that he was sweating profusely. His tall body fell heavily to the ground. He could not believe that he had been defeated by a little chicken with two punches when he fell to the ground. Moreover, although this little chicken looked thin and short, those two fists almost took his life. He was extremely fierce. As the referee¡¯s final declaration fell, the outcome of this group arena match had been decided. Gu Hu¡¯s heart instantly turned ashen. The surrounding audience was dumbfounded. Even their breathing slowed down. The referee walked to Si Fan¡¯s side and raised one of her hands. ¡°Tonight¡¯s boxing champion is our new and rising King!!!¡± ¡°Woo~¡± The audience, who had regained their senses, instantly erupted. ¡°King the God!¡± ¡°King the God!¡± *** Jun Yan retracted his gaze and looked at the stunned Jiang Wang. He smiled casually. ¡°You lost.¡± Jiang Wang was in disbelief. ¡°It¡¯s fake, right? With that body of his, he defeated Gu Hu with just two punches?!¡± Jun Yan put his hands in his pockets. ¡°You can¡¯t judge a book by its cover.¡± Jiang Wang: ¡°¡­¡± F*ck, I miscalculated! On the other hand, Si Fan won the championship belt, gold medal, and 500,000 yuan bonus. Countless reporters rushed forward to interview her. But she stopped them with a look. The reporters were so frightened that they did not dare to approach her, afraid that she would punch them and make them all suffer. On the other hand, Si Fan simply did not want so many people to get close to her. It was too troublesome and she was a clean freak! After avoiding the reporters, Si Fan left the underground arena and threw herself into the crowded night market. A few youths also followed her out of the arena, but they found that the youth in black had disappeared in the blink of an eye when they came out. They could not help but look vexed. ¡°Oh no, I lost him!¡± ¡°Damn it, if I had known earlier, I would have stopped King the God and asked for his autograph!¡± ¡°Sigh, let¡¯s not talk about it anymore. I hope I can see King the God here again next time. He¡¯s too valiant and cool. I¡¯ve already fallen in love with this man!¡± ¡°Hehe, it would be great if I could acknowledge him as my master. If I had that skill, I would wake up laughing in my dreams!¡± Si Fan got rid of a few followers and went straight to the hotel. It was getting late. She had to return to the hotel before Jiang Qin woke up. It was already dawn when she returned to the hotel. The two security officers were still guarding the door dutifully. When they saw a young man wearing a mask and a baseball cap walking over, they instinctively stopped him. Si Fan moved her lips and said coldly, ¡°Move aside!¡± The two security officers did not give way. Instead, they asked, ¡°Who are you?!¡± The two security officers had been working as security officers for many years and had long cultivated a pair of sharp eyes. At this moment, Si Fan was dressed like a delinquent, making them wary. They were afraid that some criminals would sneak into the hotel and cause trouble. When Si Fan heard this, she took off her hat impatiently and pulled her mask down to her chin. She revealed an exquisite and cold oval face. Her dark and clear peach blossom eyes were cold and indifferent. Her red lips were pursed tightly, showing her displeasure. The two security officers immediately remembered who she was when they saw her face. Wasn¡¯t she the beautiful girl who went out around two o¡¯clock? She had only been out for a few hours, but she had already changed her clothes. She was clearly wearing a white shirt and black pants when she went out. Now, she had changed into a black sweater and black pants. She was even wearing a baseball cap and mask. She looked like a non-mainstream person. She was just short of a punk look. Tsk, tsk, tsk. It seemed that they had guessed correctly. This young lady was so young, but she had gone astray. She did not sleep in the middle of the night and went to do some embarrassing things. If their daughter went out to do such an embarrassing thing, she would be beaten to death! He wondered who the girl¡¯s parents were. They were so careless. How unworthy of a parent! The two security officers pondered for a while before making way for Si Fan. After all, she was the customer of the hotel. They didn¡¯t dare to stop those who had spent money. Si Fan lowered her eyelashes and put on her mask and hat again. She walked past the two security officers and entered the elevator. After returning to her room, Si Fan took off the clothes that she had bought from the stall for 30 yuan. She threw them on the floor and went to bed to catch up on her sleep. At this moment, Jiang Qin woke up. She looked at the time. It was half past five. Actually, she did not sleep much last night, but she had to lie on the bed and pretend to be asleep in order to rest. She picked up her phone and glanced at the caller ID. She frowned. Si Mingyuan hadn¡¯t called her at all that night. Could it be that he had really decided to separate from her?! They had been in a relationship for more than 10 years and they broke up just like that. Men were all pigs! Jiang Qin gritted her teeth and tears flowed down emotionally. Thinking of her son who was still in the hospital, Jiang Qin hurriedly wiped her tears and forced herself to be strong. Then, she got up and went to the bathroom to wash up¡­ After ordering the hotel¡¯s breakfast service, Jiang Qin saw that it was getting late and knocked on Si Fan¡¯s door. ¡°Fanfan, wake up quickly. You should have class this morning, right? Do you have enough time to rush to school?¡± Jiang Qin knocked on the door patiently for a long time, but there was no response. She could not help but feel anxious. In the past, Si Fan would come out to open the door in less than a minute when she knocked on the door. Now, three to four minutes had passed. Why was she not opening the door?! Chapter 16 Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations With that in mind, she knocked harder with her palm. Bang bang bang. Soon, the door opened. Jiang Qin¡¯s hand paused. She was stunned when she saw the young girl with messy hair and bloodshot eyes. Then, she sighed. It turned out that she wasn¡¯t the only one who couldn¡¯t sleep last night. She said earnestly, ¡°Fanfan, you don¡¯t have to feel burdened because of what happened yesterday. That¡¯s between adults. You¡¯re still a child. Study hard first.¡± Although her acting major was not promising, it was better than not working hard at all. Si Fan closed her eyes and hummed lightly. Jiang Qin smiled lovingly. ¡°Have breakfast first. Hotel service. It¡¯s free.¡± ¡°I¡¯ll go wash up first.¡± Si Fan said and turned to leave. Jiang Qin urged her to hurry up and went to set the table. Five minutes later. Si Fan sat opposite Jiang Qin on the two-meter-long dining table. Her posture was straight and upright. Her eating posture was exquisite and elegant, as if she was born a noble. Jiang Qin was stunned. For some reason, she felt that her daughter had become a different person overnight. But no matter how she looked at it, she felt that Si Fan was the same person! Perhaps it was because leaving the Si Family was too much of a blow to Si Fan, so her emotions changed a little, causing her behavior to be a little strange. Jiang Qin picked up a chicken drumstick and placed it in Si Fan¡¯s bowl. ¡°Eat more. You¡¯re too skinny.¡± Si Fan¡¯s lips moved and she replied coldly, ¡°Yes, thank you.¡± The unfamiliar tone made Jiang Qin¡¯s nose sting. She gripped her chopsticks tightly, her eyes red. ¡°Fanfan, do you¡­ hate me as your mother? Do you think I¡¯m useless?¡± All these years, Si Fan had suffered so much in that family, yet she did not help her. Instead, she told her to swallow her frustration and endure it as much as she could. Although Si Fan did not say anything, she should hate her mother. Even she hated herself, hated herself for being weak and afraid to resist. She lived like a poor wretch without dignity. When Si Fan heard that, a strong sense of resentment welled up in her heart. She frowned. This resentment was obviously the resentment that the original host had suppressed in her heart for a long time. Obviously, the original host blamed her mother for her inaction. However, this was not Si Fan¡¯s personal grudge. She had no feelings for Jiang Qin at all. If she wasn¡¯t the original host¡¯s mother, they wouldn¡¯t be interacting. Since they were interacting, she would not stand by and do nothing. She would take over the original host¡¯s responsibility without hesitation. Including the mother of the original host, the sick brother of the original host, and her complicated interpersonal relationships. Jiang Qin saw that Si Fan was silent and thought that she hated her to the core. She felt even more upset. She choked. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, Fanfan. I¡¯ve neglected you all these years and didn¡¯t care about your feelings. It¡¯s only right that you hate me¡­¡± Si Fan¡¯s lips moved. ¡°I don¡¯t hate you.¡± She had no feelings for Jiang Qin, so why would she hate her? Besides, everyone had their own difficulties. She wasn¡¯t the real Si Fan, but a bystander. Naturally, she was more rational than the original host. Did Si Fan really not hate her? Jiang Qin did not believe it. She had failed so badly as her mother. How could Fanfan not hate her for failing? Perhaps Fanfan did not confess to her out of consideration for her feelings as her mother. At the thought of this, Jiang Qin felt even more guilty towards Si Fan. She would definitely treat Si Fan well in the future and not neglect her anymore. After dinner, Si Fan prepared to go to school. Jiang Qin stopped her. ¡°Do you still have money on you? Do you need me to give you some?¡± Si Fan: ¡°There¡¯s no need.¡± She hadn¡¯t spent the 500,000 yuan bonus last night yet. ¡°You really don¡¯t need it?¡± Jiang Qin glanced at Si Fan¡¯s attire. She was wearing a white shirt and black pants today. The shirt was wrinkled, and the black pants were a little white from washing. The clothes looked a little old. Jiang Qin suddenly realized that she had not given Si Fan money to buy new clothes for a long time. Most of her clothes were discarded by Si Ya and Si Xue. She had once bought Si Fan new clothes, but after Si Ya found out that she had used Si Mingyuan¡¯s money to buy Si Fan new clothes, she asked the servants to secretly cut the new clothes into pieces. It happened several times after that. She couldn¡¯t find any evidence to prove that Si Ya did it, so she let it go. She did not dare to buy new clothes for Si Fan anymore. Because, they would be destroyed. Jiang Qin felt a lump in her throat when she thought of these terrible things. ¡°Mom will transfer you 10,000 yuan. Go buy some nice clothes.¡± Si Xue and Si Ya¡¯s clothes cost tens of thousands of yuan each, and the most expensive ones cost hundreds of thousands. Si Fan was only fit to wear what they didn¡¯t want. ¡°No need!¡± Si Fan rejected her outright. However, the more she refused, the more Jiang Qin felt guilty towards her. Since Si Fan was unwilling to accept her money to buy new clothes, she had no choice but to go out and buy them for her. ¡°Alright, in that case, go to school first. Tell Mom when you need money. Mom will transfer the money to you.¡± Si Fan glanced at Jiang Qin and hummed lightly before turning to leave. Seeing that Si Fan had left, Jiang Qin prepared to visit her son, Si Yi, in the hospital. Si Yi had a serious heart condition and needed medicine almost every day. Even if he didn¡¯t need medicine, he had to stay in the hospital for observation every day. The doctor said that only by finding a healthy and suitable heart and replacing the bad one in Si Yi¡¯s heart could he have a new life. However, they had already been looking for the heart for nearly ten years, but they had yet to find it. Would she see Si Yi leave the hospital and lead a normal life like a normal child in her lifetime? Jiang Qin did not know that the only thing she could do was to keep looking for a suitable heart. As long as there was hope, she would definitely be favored by the heavens. One day, she would get what she wanted. Women were weak to begin with, but mothers were tough. Relying on this belief, Jiang Qin convinced herself to stay in the Si Family until today. Just as Jiang Qin was about to leave the hotel, she received a call from the hospital. ¡°Madam Si, this month¡¯s treatment your son hasn¡¯t paid for. Please come to the hospital immediately to pay for it.¡± Jiang Qin widened her eyes. ¡°How is that possible? Are you mistaken? Didn¡¯t my husband pay yesterday?¡± Yesterday, she and Si Mingyuan had already paid for last month¡¯s expenses before they came back from the hospital. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, Madam Si. Mr. Si has just canceled the treatment fee. If you still want your son to stay in the hospital for treatment, come to the hospital immediately to pay the fee.¡± When Jiang Qin heard this, her head buzzed as if she could not believe it. It was not until the hospital hung up that she came back to her senses. Si Mingyuan was actually so ruthless. He even took back the treatment fees that he had just paid. This was too much! Si Yi had called him father for more than 10 years and was half his son. How could he be so cruel to his son?! After thinking about it, she couldn¡¯t help but call Si Mingyuan. However, the call did not go through even after a long time. She had no choice but to go to the hospital to pay the fees first. Chapter 17 Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations S University. The group of boys discussed as they walked. ¡°Hey, did you guys go to Emperor Dun Underground Fighting Arena to watch the match last night?¡± ¡°I¡¯m going. King the God is amazing. He knocked Gu Hu down with two punches. That almost blinded me!¡± ¡°I thought King the God was so skinny that he wouldn¡¯t have much strength. I didn¡¯t expect to be proven wrong on the spot. He was so handsome and cool that I almost turned gay on the spot!¡± ¡°Wow?! Really?! I really regret not going with you. What does King the God look like? Isn¡¯t he very handsome?!¡± ¡°Handsome, very handsome!¡± ¡°What does he look like?¡± ¡°He¡¯s dressed in black and has long hair. He¡¯s wearing a baseball cap and a mask.¡± ¡°Then how can you tell that he¡¯s handsome?!¡± ¡°Is there a need to look? King the God is so invincible. If he takes off his mask, he will definitely be so handsome that he can charm millions of young men and women!¡± Si Fan, who was walking into the school, suddenly stopped in her tracks when she heard the boys¡¯ discussion. The corners of her mouth twitched. These boys were really boring. Then she walked past them as if nothing had happened. The group of boys noticed Si Fan and immediately walked over to tease her. ¡°Hey, isn¡¯t this Si Fan from Class 2?¡± Si Fan looked straight ahead. ¡°I didn¡¯t expect Si Fan to be so beautiful without her glasses. No wonder the director took a fancy to her!¡± ¡°I heard that the director is old, ugly, and bald. Tsk, tsk, tsk. What a pity. Such a beautiful body was given to that disgusting old man!¡± Si Fan stopped in her tracks, turned around, and glanced at the gossipy people behind her. Her gaze was cold and ruthless. At a glance, it was as if they were in a world of ice and snow. The boys were instantly stunned by her gaze and forgot to react. Si Fan¡¯s lips curled into a mocking smile. Then, she turned around and left in a domineering manner. When she was far away, the boys came back to life. ¡°Damn it, was that woman Si Fan possessed by a ghost just now? She almost scared my soul out of my body!¡± ¡°Why does she look like a big boss that we can¡¯t afford to offend?¡± ¡°That¡¯s right. This is the same Si Fan that we knew in the past. She didn¡¯t even retaliate when she was scolded. She was submissive and allowed others to manipulate her?!¡± ¡°Don¡¯t forget that she¡¯s studying acting. That is an act for us, understand?!¡± ¡°F*ck, isn¡¯t this acting too realistic?! I almost knelt down to her just now!¡± Performance Major, Class 2. Song Zhi received a reply from the gangsters sent to teach Si Fan a lesson. They said that their plan had failed and they were beaten up by Si Fan instead. He felt that those hooligans were spouting nonsense when he heard that. The few men were holding baseball bats to threaten her, but they were still no match for a delicate and weak woman?! What a joke! They must have taken the money and deliberately not done anything. Damn it, he would complain to those hooligans another day! He looked up in frustration and saw Gu Xiaoxiao walking over with two cups of milk tea. Recalling how close Gu Xiaoxiao had been to Si Fan yesterday, he started to dislike her. He stood up and stood in front of Gu Xiaoxiao. ¡°Gu Xiaoxiao, stop!¡± Gu Xiaoxiao saw the anger on Song Zhi¡¯s face and knew that he was up to no good. She was scared and shrugged her neck. ¡°S-Song Zhi, what¡¯s the matter?¡± Song Zhi narrowed his eyes. ¡°You¡¯re quite bold to hang out with a woman like Si Fan. Aren¡¯t you afraid of offending me and getting my revenge?!¡± ¡°I¡­¡± Gu Xiaoxiao lowered her head, not knowing how to respond. When Song Zhi saw that Gu Xiaoxiao was so scared that she could not speak, he sneered. ¡°If you know what¡¯s good for you, stay away from Si Fan. Otherwise, I¡¯ll deal with you too. Do you understand?!¡± Gu Xiaoxiao bit her lip and closed her eyes in fear. Her lips trembled. ¡°I-I got it¡­¡± She was a coward to begin with. Now that Song Zhi had warned her, she was afraid of getting into trouble, so she did not dare to refute. She could only compromise with the evil forces. ¡°That¡¯s more like it!¡± After Song Zhi finished speaking, his gaze suddenly landed on the two cups of milk tea that Gu Xiaoxiao had brought. ¡°Don¡¯t tell me you want to give this cup to Si Fan?¡± Gu Xiaoxiao gripped the bag tightly and remained silent. But Song Zhi had already guessed it from her reaction. He stared at one of the cups of milk tea and suddenly thought of a plan. The corners of his mouth curled into an evil smile¡­ Si Fan walked into the classroom and glanced around before finding a seat at the back. After she sat down, her back leaned lazily against the back of the chair. Her elbows were casually placed on the armrests, and her legs were crossed. Her arrogant aura burst out from the inside and could not even be hidden. Si Fan easily became the center of attention the moment she entered. Because she was too good-looking. Yesterday, she was clearly an ugly woman wearing ugly glasses. In the blink of an eye, she had become a cold beauty that none of them could reach. Everyone could not help but take a few more glances. Moreover, Si Fan was prettier than Si Xue the school belle. Si Xue and Si Fan were step-sisters and people would often compare them. Si Xue was the real daughter of the Si Family. She was proficient in music, chess, calligraphy, and painting. She was also a beautiful star student who received national scholarships every year. As for Si Fan, she was not the real daughter of the Si Family, but a fake one. This was because she wasn¡¯t related to the Si Family by blood. The only relationship was that her mother had married into the Si Family. As for her, she had followed her mother and shamelessly lived in the Si Family for ten years. The problem was that she didn¡¯t know how to be grateful to the Si Family for treating her so well. She bullied the Si sisters, Si Xue and Si Ya, just because she was older. She often snatched their beautiful clothes and shoes. It was too much. When Si Xue¡¯s suitors found out that Si Ya and Si Xue had been bullied by Si Fan, they joined forces to bully Si Fan. Only then did Si Fan stop bullying the two sisters. In short, Si Fan was extremely evil in their eyes, just like Snow White¡¯s Witch Queen or Cinderella¡¯s stepmother. Even though Si Fan had become prettier now, everyone still had a bad impression of her. Just as everyone was sizing up Si Fan and discussing her changes, Gu Xiaoxiao suddenly walked out and placed a cup of milk tea on Si Fan¡¯s table. She gave her a friendly smile. ¡°Good morning, Si Fan. There¡¯s a discount for milk tea today. Buy one, get one free. I just drank one cup. I can¡¯t drink anymore. I¡¯ll give it to you!¡± Si Fan lifted her eyes and looked at Gu Xiaoxiao. Gu Xiaoxiao¡¯s slightly flustered face was clearly reflected in her dark eyes, which were filled with calm wisdom. Perhaps Si Fan¡¯s gaze was too penetrating, as if she could see through the struggle and panic in Gu Xiaoxiao¡¯s heart. She quickly took the milk tea back and lowered her head. ¡°If you don¡¯t want to drink it, forget it¡­¡± Chapter 18 Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Si Fan¡¯s fingers on the armrest moved as she hooked her finger at Gu Xiaoxiao. Her posture was lazy and her voice was very calm. ¡°I will drink it. Bring it over.¡± The young girl¡¯s nonchalant attitude made Gu Xiaoxiao¡¯s heart skip a beat. She looked at Si Fan uneasily. She could not hand over the milk tea in her hand. Because, this cup of milk tea was spiked. Song Zhi was the one who spiked the drink. He intended to mess with Si Fan and make a fool out of her. She would be an accomplice if she really gave the milk tea to Si Fan. Initially, she wanted to get along well with Si Fan and become good friends with her. But now¡­ Gu Xiaoxiao¡¯s hands trembled uncontrollably. Si Fan raised her eyebrows and looked at Gu Xiaoxiao¡¯s reaction calmly. ¡°Why? Are you not going to give it to me?¡± Gu Xiaoxiao was so nervous that she gulped. Her throat tightened and she instinctively looked at Song Zhi. Song Zhi glared at her fiercely, scaring her. ¡°Here, here you go¡­¡± Suppressing her fear, Gu Xiaoxiao slowly handed the milk tea to Si Fan. When she handed it to Si Fan, her gaze fell on the milk tea in front of her and froze for a few seconds. Then, Si Fan glanced at Gu Xiaoxiao and continued to stare at her for a few seconds. Suddenly, Si Fan smiled. She reached out to take the milk tea. Her fair and beautiful fingers gently touched the milk tea cup. Her five fingers slowly covered the cup and closed around it bit by bit. At the critical moment, Gu Xiaoxiao suddenly threw the milk tea on the ground. The cup broke instantly, and milk tea overflowed. There were also a few large lumps of unknown color liquid, looking very disgusting. The onlookers almost vomited when they saw this. Someone exclaimed, ¡°Gosh, Gu Xiaoxiao, you actually put something in the milk tea for Si Fan to drink?! Are you going to poison Si Fan?!¡± ¡°Poison? That¡¯s too vicious! I thought that Gu Xiaoxiao was sincerely trying to befriend Si Fan. I didn¡¯t expect her to be hiding something!¡± ¡°Tsk, tsk, tsk. Ugly people really like to cause trouble. Gu Xiaoxiao is ugly and her heart is also so ugly. How disgusting!¡± Gu Xiaoxiao¡¯s face turned pale as she waved her hands frantically. ¡°No, no, I didn¡¯t. I-I didn¡¯t do this¡­¡± Song Zhi walked over and played the blame game. ¡°If you didn¡¯t do it, who did?! You bought the milk tea and gave it to Si Fan. Who else could it be other than you?!¡± Gu Xiaoxiao looked at Song Zhi in disbelief. She was trembling with anger. ¡°Song Zhi, you were the one who put something in the milk tea and threatened me to give it to Si Fan!¡± She regretted it at the critical moment. She didn¡¯t want to become someone she hated, so she spilled the milk tea! Song Zhi sneered. ¡°Ha, who saw it?! Did anybody see me put something in the milk tea and ask you to give it to Si Fan?!¡± Gu Xiaoxiao did not expect Song Zhi to be so thick-skinned. He did not admit what he had done and even pushed the blame to her. She glanced at the students around her. All of them were accusing her of being scheming and vicious. Her lips trembled. She opened her mouth, wanting to explain something, but she couldn¡¯t. Because she had no evidence. She had no evidence that Song Zhi had framed her. Could this be¡­ her retribution? Retribution for compromising with Song Zhi and making things difficult for Si Fan. If she had not promised Song Zhi, she would not have been wronged by so many students. It was her fault. She had caused everything¡­ Gu Xiaoxiao bit her lips as tears streamed down her face. Soon, she faced Si Fan and lowered her head. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, Si Fan. I apologize to you. Please forgive me¡­¡± Song Zhi looked at the disappointing Gu Xiaoxiao and snorted. Idiot, who asked her not to listen to him and deliberately go against him? She should be despised and criticized by everyone! Si Fan¡¯s slender fingers gently caressed the armrest of the chair as her gaze landed on the crying Gu Xiaoxiao. Her voice was extremely calm. ¡°If it¡¯s not your fault, why should you admit it?¡± When Gu Xiaoxiao heard this, she cried in confusion. ¡°Didn¡¯t you say that Song Zhi was the one who threatened you? Since it was a threat, it wasn¡¯t your intention. Besides, I have eyes. I can tell who has ill intentions towards me.¡± Si Fan paused and glanced at Song Zhi nonchalantly. The corners of her lips curled up and she looked rather cold. ¡°Ha, are you a man? You dare to do it but don¡¯t dare to admit it?¡± Song Zhi was furious when he saw that extremely provocative gaze. If it weren¡¯t for Si Fan, the girl he liked wouldn¡¯t have been imprisoned. It was all her fault that she couldn¡¯t come out now! He had to seek justice for Tan Lina! Song Zhi gritted his teeth. ¡°I forced her. So what?!¡± The surrounding people looked at each other. So what Gu Xiaoxiao said was true. She was really threatened by Song Zhi. Tsk, Song Zhi was still playing the blame game just now. He was really thick-skinned. However, no one openly mocked Song Zhi. After all, he had a powerful background. The Song Family was not to be trifled with. However, someone was not afraid of the Song Family. Si Fan glanced at Song Zhi coldly and chuckled. ¡°Since you¡¯ve admitted it, why don¡¯t you just admit to the incident where you sent someone to block me in the alley yesterday? That way, I won¡¯t have to torture you to extract a confession later.¡± Her tone was extremely arrogant. Song Zhi was provoked and flew into a rage out of humiliation. He rolled up his sleeves and was about to go up and teach Si Fan a lesson. A coin appeared on Si Fan¡¯s fingertip. She shot it out and hit Song Zhi¡¯s sneakers accurately. Song Zhi, who was 1.8 meters tall, fell to the floor just like that. His face even landed on the milk tea stains on the ground. When he raised his head, the unknown liquid stuck to his face and emitted a foul smell. Si Fan instinctively covered her nose with her hand. The others followed suit, trying not to laugh. Gu Xiaoxiao had been feeling aggrieved at first, but when she saw Song Zhi in such a miserable state, her aggrieved mood actually felt a sense of joy. This was a pleasure she had never experienced before. Si Fan lowered her eyes and moved her lips. ¡°You¡¯re quite sensible. You know how to crouch on the ground and apologize to me.¡± Song Zhi¡¯s face turned red. He was so embarrassed that he wished he could disappear immediately. He wiped away the disgusting filth on his face and suppressed the urge to vomit. He got up impatiently and warned fiercely, ¡°Si Fan, just you wait. I won¡¯t let you off easily. I¡¯ll get back at you for what you owe Tan Lina!¡± Gu Xiaoxiao couldn¡¯t take it anymore. ¡°Song Zhi, don¡¯t be silly. Tan Lina has slept with so many directors, and you¡¯re still standing up for her?! Do you want to disgust yourself or others?!¡± Song Zhi, who was blinded by love, did not believe her at all. ¡°You¡¯re still trying to lie to me?! Tan Lina said that those were all fake. Si Fan was the one who spread the rumors to discredit her. When I find evidence, I¡¯ll arrest Si Fan and lock her up in the police station for the rest of her life!¡± The others couldn¡¯t stand it anymore. ¡°Song Zhi, it¡¯s obvious that you¡¯ve been deceived by Tan Lina. If those photos are fake, there won¡¯t be any real photos in this world!¡± ¡°That¡¯s right. There¡¯s even a video. It¡¯s high-definition and uncensored. It can¡¯t be fake, right?!¡± ¡°If she doesn¡¯t want others to know, don¡¯t do it. There have long been rumors that Tan Lina is a kept woman. You just don¡¯t believe it!¡± ¡°That¡¯s right, that¡¯s right!¡± ¡°Impossible!¡± Song Zhi still tried to struggle, but at this moment, his phone rang¡­ Chapter 19 Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Song Zhi glanced at the caller ID. It was his elder brother, Song Yuan. Big Brother must have cleared Tan Lina¡¯s name and come to report the good news to him! Song Zhi eagerly answered the call and asked, ¡°Brother, did you save my classmate?!¡± Song Yuan gritted his teeth and was so angry that his face turned ashen when he heard that. He scolded, ¡°Idiot, you actually asked me to save a woman with a bad character and a dirty personality. Are you sick?! If you¡¯re sick, go and see a doctor. Don¡¯t look for me. I¡¯m not a doctor!¡± ¡°I advise you not to care about such an unpresentable woman in the future. Otherwise, the Song Family will be humiliated by an idiot like you!¡± If he hadn¡¯t obtained the evidence provided by the police and sent someone to investigate, he would have thought that Tan Lina had been wronged. Song Zhi was an idiot. He didn¡¯t even know what was going on and he wanted him to protect that woman. How disgusting! With that, Song Yuan hung up angrily, not giving Song Zhi a chance to speak. Song Zhi was completely dumbfounded as he tried to digest what Song Yuan had just said. In order to prove Tan Lina¡¯s innocence, he had put Song Yuan on speaker, so everyone knew about his conversation with Song Yuan. A classmate said right on the heels of that, ¡°Song Zhi, even your brother called you an idiot. Are you still unwilling to accept the fact that Tan Lina lied to you?¡± ¡°That¡¯s right, that¡¯s right!¡± Song Zhi¡¯s face instantly turned red when he heard that. He felt indescribably embarrassed. At the same time, he could not believe that the woman he had liked for so long had been lying to him?! Tan Lina looked so pure, kind, and often helpful. How could she be that kind of woman?? Impossible. He had to ask Tan Lina personally! Song Zhi glanced at the onlookers, Gu Xiaoxiao and the indifferent Si Fan. He gritted his teeth and turned to leave¡­ The classroom quickly fell silent. The students also returned to their seats, but there were still people discussing what had just happened. Si Fan glanced at Gu Xiaoxiao, who was still standing at the same spot, and raised her exquisite eyebrows. ¡°Why are you still here?¡± ¡°Just now¡­¡± Gu Xiaoxiao fidgeted her fingers nervously. ¡°Thank you.¡± Si Fan flicked her fingers and asked lazily, ¡°Why are you thanking me?¡± Gu Xiaoxiao looked at the lazy and domineering girl who looked like a high and mighty queen. She bit her lip and suppressed her nervousness. ¡°Thank you for standing up for me just now. If it weren¡¯t for you, I would have been misunderstood by everyone¡­¡± She knew very well the despair and discomfort of being misunderstood, slandered, and wronged. Because she had experienced it herself and had broken down. In some ways, she really envied Si Fan¡¯s bravery. At least she dared to stand up and fight for herself, didn¡¯t she? Si Fan: ¡°You¡¯re welcome.¡± After that simple sentence, there was nothing else. Gu Xiaoxiao felt very uneasy and said, ¡°Si Fan, I¡¯m sorry. I went overboard with you just now. I know I was wrong. Can you¡­ forgive me?¡± As she spoke, her eyes could not help but turn red. She felt very helpless. Because she really liked Si Fan and wanted to be friends with her. However, Si Fan must be blaming her and angry at her for what happened. Even she could not forgive herself. Si Fan frowned when she saw Gu Xiaoxiao¡¯s teary eyes. ¡°Why are you crying?¡± Did she say anything to bully this little girl earlier?! Gu Xiaoxiao felt embarrassed and quickly wiped her tears. However, she could not stop her tears from falling. ¡°N-nothing. I¡¯m just very sorry¡­¡± Her eyes were red and watery, like an injured deer. She looked especially pitiful. Although she was crying very softly, she was standing beside Si Fan now. Her shoulders were shaking as she cried, making her stand out. Some people had already begun to mock her. But Gu Xiaoxiao did not realize it. Si Fan leaned forward slightly and reached out to grab Gu Xiaoxiao¡¯s wrist. With a gentle tug, she pulled her to sit beside her. Her slender and fair fingers pinched Gu Xiaoxiao¡¯s chin. Seeing her red face from crying, she chuckled. Gu Xiaoxiao was stunned. She did not understand what Si Fan was laughing at. Was she laughing at her for crying so badly? It had to be. She had pockmarks all over her face, so she looked even uglier when she cried. Guessing that Si Fan might be thinking this way, she became even more depressed. She tilted her head in shame and lowered her eyelashes. Si Fan let go of Gu Xiaoxiao¡¯s chin and poked her red cheeks. She smiled playfully. ¡°Tsk, what a squeamish little girl. Your tears are like pearls that fall one after another. Those who don¡¯t know might think that I¡¯ve done something to you.¡± Gu Xiaoxiao shook her head and wanted to deny it. But Si Fan¡¯s next sentence came. ¡°Don¡¯t cry. Even if you cry, no one will feel sorry for you. Instead, it will make you look weak and useless.¡± ¡°In this world where the strong prey on the weak, crying won¡¯t solve any problems. The strong are the truth. Only by becoming stronger can you be fearless and stand proudly among the powerful people. Do you understand?¡± The girl¡¯s voice was cold and indifferent. It seemed like a simple sentence, but it hit the nail on the head. Gu Xiaoxiao was speechless. It was undeniable that Si Fan was right. Crying would only make her weaker. Those who bullied her would not let her off just because she cried. They would only think that she was easy to bully and bully her even more. Only by becoming stronger and more outstanding would people look at you in a different light! Gu Xiaoxiao gritted her teeth. She knew everything that Si Fan had said. Hence, she had been working hard to overcome herself. She hoped that she could become the next Si Fan! Si Fan looked at Gu Xiaoxiao and tilted her head. She seemed to have thought of something and slowly reached into her pocket. Then, she took out a tissue that she carried with her and handed it to Gu Xiaoxiao. There was a hint of calmness in her exquisite and beautiful eyes. ¡°Wipe your face.¡± Stunned, Gu Xiaoxiao instinctively took the tissue from Si Fan. There was also the fragrance of cold plum blossoms on the tissue. It smelled good. She smiled gratefully at Si Fan and said softly, ¡°Thank you.¡± Si Fan smiled calmly. ¡°Since you want to thank me, tell me, how are you going to thank me?¡± Gu Xiaoxiao was stunned for a moment. She instinctively said, ¡°T-treat you to milk tea?!¡± As soon as she finished speaking, she seemed to feel that her words of treating her to milk tea were too insincere. She added, ¡°Let me treat you to a meal, okay?¡± Si Fan had no objections. ¡°Whatever.¡± Hearing this, Gu Xiaoxiao could not help but smile. Si Fan had agreed to her treat. Did that mean that she had forgiven her for what she had just done?! She couldn¡¯t help but feel happy at the thought. Chapter 20 Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations On the other hand, after Jiang Qin arrived at the hospital and paid 200,000 yuan for the medical fees, she looked at the remaining balance in her card and felt miserable. She would not be able to pay for the medical fees next month if she still could not find a job. No, she had to find Si Mingyuan personally and ask him what he meant! Jiang Qin glanced at Si Yi, who was lying on the hospital bed. After some thought, she left for Si Mingyuan¡¯s company. At the same time. Si Mingyuan received news from the hospital that Jiang Qin had already paid the medical fees. Si Mingyuan frowned. 200,000 yuan was not a small sum of money. He had stopped all of Jiang Qin¡¯s cards. How did she pay the bills?! Could it be that¡­ all these years, Jiang Qin had been secretly hiding her private savings?? Great! That d*mn woman, she must have secretly hidden her money so that she could leave the Si Family openly today and not be manipulated by the Si Family! This woman was really scheming! If he hadn¡¯t asked Si Fan to get out of the Si Family yesterday, would Jiang Qin have stayed in the Si Family and prepared to squeeze all his assets dry?! Good job, Jiang Qin! To think that he had been so good to her for so many years, allowing her to become the wife of a wealthy family without any worries. She actually schemed for his money?! Hmph! If she dared to look for him, he would definitely get all the money that belonged to him back! And he would make her vomit out all the money that he had spent on her, including on her son all these years! He had a record of Jiang Qin¡¯s various expenditures over the years. He had recorded every single one of them clearly to prevent Jiang Qin from plotting against him one day! As Si Mingyuan was thinking, his assistant came in. ¡°President Si, Madam came to the company to look for you.¡± Speak of the devil. Si Mingyuan hurriedly said, ¡°Hurry up and let her come up!¡± Soon, Jiang Qin was led by the assistant to Si Mingyuan¡¯s office by the elevator. When she entered the office, Si Mingyuan sat on the office chair and looked at her with a superior attitude, as if she was a stranger to him. Jiang Qin felt indescribably upset and asked, ¡°Si Mingyuan, why did you take back Si Yi¡¯s medical fees?! This is between you and me. It has nothing to do with Si Yi. You can¡¯t blame him. He doesn¡¯t know anything!¡± Si Mingyuan snorted. ¡°Hmph! Si Yi is your son, not mine. Why should I spend my own money to pay for his medical fees?¡± Jiang Qin gritted her teeth. ¡°But when I married you, you promised me that you would treat Si Yi as your biological son. I also treated your two daughters as my own. After so many years, I did it. I treated them more important than my own daughter, but what about you?! Did you do it?¡± Si Mingyuan said without any guilt, ¡°Things are different now. It¡¯s been so many years and Si Yi has never recovered. Why should I spend so much money on him?! If I can¡¯t treat him, my money will be wasted. I don¡¯t want to spend the hard-earned money on a child who might lose his life at any moment!¡± He only had two daughters in his life. He had wanted to train Si Yi to be his successor, but how could a person who was always lying on the hospital bed be trained to be his successor? It was impossible for him to waste time and money on people and things that did not benefit him! Especially someone who was not related to him by blood! Si Mingyuan¡¯s heartless and cold-blooded words pierced through Jiang Qin¡¯s heart. Her face turned pale and her mouth moved. She wanted to say something, but she realized that she could not say a word. It was said that it was more painful to hurt someone with words than killing her. Si Mingyuan¡¯s words were even more painful than killing her directly. She rubbed her aching chest. ¡°Si Mingyuan, Si Yi has called you father for more than 10 years. You, you actually¡­¡± Si Mingyuan glared at her. ¡°Jiang Qin, what right do you have to shout at me?! I haven¡¯t pursued the matter of you stealing my money!¡± Jiang Qin was confused. ¡°Stealing your money? When did I steal your money?!¡± Si Mingyuan said, ¡°Hmph, would you have the money to pay for the hospital¡¯s medical bills if you didn¡¯t take away my money?! I¡¯ve already stopped your card. Where did you get the money? Isn¡¯t it the money you¡¯ve been secretly hiding all these years?!¡± Jiang Qin immediately retorted agitatedly, ¡°No! I didn¡¯t hide any secret money at all. That money is mine. I earned it myself!¡± Si Mingyuan sneered. ¡°You earned it yourself?! What kind of joke is this? You¡¯ve been in the Si Family for so many years. You don¡¯t even leave the house. Where did you earn money from?! I think you¡¯ve clearly embezzled the money I spent on your daily necessities and saved it bit by bit!¡± Jiang Qin was furious. She didn¡¯t expect Si Mingyuan to think of her as a pilferer. She was very grateful to Si Mingyuan because he had been paying for Si Yi¡¯s medical bills. In the Si Family, she had worked hard without complaint and had never spent any extra money on herself. She even bought the clothes with her own money and not with the Si Family¡¯s money. And Si Mingyuan could actually say that she stole the money he gave her to buy daily necessities? She was his wife. Even if she used that sum of money, it was legal and reasonable. She took a deep breath and defended herself word by word. ¡°Si Mingyuan, let me say this again. I didn¡¯t steal the money meant for daily necessities. This money was earned by me doing some part-time work when you were out. For example, making some small designs and sewing handmade items. I can earn a few hundred yuan for the small ones and a few thousand yuan for the big ones. I have records on hand. If you don¡¯t believe me, I can show you!¡± With that, Jiang Qin took out her phone and found the transaction transfer she had with a few clients. She planned to show it to Si Mingyuan. However, Si Mingyuan stubbornly refused to look at it. With a wave of his hand, he knocked Jiang Qin¡¯s phone away. The cell phone hit the ground and the screen shattered. The cell phone screen instantly turned black. Jiang Qin hurriedly picked up her cell phone to check. It could no longer be turned on. She was so angry that she looked at Si Mingyuan, her lips trembling uncontrollably. ¡°Y-you¡­¡± This was too much! Si Mingyuan glanced at Jiang Qin, whose face had turned red from anger, and frowned. ¡°Jiang Qin, I¡¯ll give you one more chance. Abandon Si Fan and return to the Si Family obediently and be a full-time housewife and I can pretend that nothing happened.¡± ¡°But if you insist on going against me, then there¡¯s no other way. You have to return all the medical fees that Si Yi has spent over the years to me!¡± The blood drained from Jiang Qin¡¯s face. It took her a long time to recover. She asked, ¡°Si Mingyuan, do you still remember the agreement we signed before we got married?¡± Si Mingyuan frowned when he heard that. Back then, he had indeed signed a prenuptial agreement with Jiang Qin. Chapter 21 Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations The agreement stated that after he got engaged to Jiang Qin, he would have to treat Si Yi like his own son and pay for his medical expenses. On the other hand, Jiang Qin needed to donate a kidney to Si Ya, who had uremia back then. In the end, Jiang Qin handed over a kidney and Si Ya¡¯s uremia was cured. Si Ya¡¯s body was restored to its original health. But Jiang Qin, who had lost a kidney, had a hard time doing anything. Hence, she could only be a full-time housewife in the Si Family for so many years. She did not have the ability to go out and find a job. Besides, even if she wanted to go out and find a job, Si Mingyuan wouldn¡¯t allow it. Because he was afraid that she would embarrass him! However, Jiang Qin had not mentioned this matter for so many years and he had almost forgotten about it. Si Mingyuan frowned. Now that Jiang Qin reminded him, he finally remembered about this. In an instant, he lost his confidence, but he still said stubbornly, ¡°So what if we made an agreement? You¡¯ve been in the Si Family for so many years. Have I ever mistreated you? I even have to raise two burdens for you. Don¡¯t be too greedy and ungrateful!¡± In Si Mingyuan¡¯s eyes, it was already a great honor for a lowly woman like Jiang Qin to marry him! And what reason did Jiang Qin have to be dissatisfied?! Was she worthy to be dissatisfied? Jiang Qin didn¡¯t expect Si Mingyuan to be so shameless. She was so angry that her lungs were about to explode. ¡°Si Mingyuan, we¡¯ve been husband and wife for 10 years. Must you be so heartless to me?¡± Si Mingyuan averted his eyes. ¡°I didn¡¯t want to either. You forced me!¡± You forced me?! You forced me?! This sentence kept echoing in Jiang Qin¡¯s mind, and her body trembled uncontrollably. When did she force him?! When?! Si Mingyuan didn¡¯t want to push Jiang Qin too far either. His tone softened. ¡°Jiang Qin, you said it yourself. We¡¯re husband and wife. I don¡¯t want to be too harsh on you. Hurry up and make a decision. As long as you agree to return to the Si Family and take care of the two children, everything will be fine. Otherwise, I won¡¯t be so nice to you next time.¡± Although Jiang Qin was so angry that she almost lost her mind, she had to give in when she thought of Si Yi who was still lying on the hospital bed. She took a few deep breaths and closed her eyes to hide the grievance in them. ¡°Let me think about it.¡± Si Mingyuan nodded. ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll give you three days. My patience is limited.¡± Jiang Qin frowned. ¡°Three days, isn¡¯t that too short?¡± Si Mingyuan didn¡¯t back down at all. ¡°If three days isn¡¯t enough, then one day it is!¡± Jiang Qin hurriedly agreed. ¡°Three days it is!¡± It¡¯s better than a day. In these three days, she had to think about what to do with Si Fan. She had clearly made up her mind to treat her well last night, but now¡­ Jiang Qin shook her head, but her heart was filled with bitterness. Noon. Gu Xiaoxiao treated Si Fan to a meal as promised. She said softly, ¡°Big Sister Fan, there¡¯s a new restaurant outside the school. It¡¯s quite popular. Shall we go and eat together?¡± Si Fan closed the book and stood up slowly. ¡°Yes.¡± The two of them walked out of the classroom side by side. The newly opened restaurant was opposite the school gate. There were two red lanterns hanging high at the entrance. The door was made of sandalwood and emitted a faint sandalwood fragrance. The smell made one feel comfortable. There was a huge plaque hanging on the door. Three large golden words were engraved on it: Qing Mo Yu. It was quite poetic. Because it was the first day of the new opening, customers who went in to eat enjoyed a 50% discount. At this moment, it was the lunch break for the university students. The restaurant was already crowded with students coming in and out. On the second floor of the restaurant, in a quiet private room, two tall and slender figures stood in front of the floating curtains and looked down at the entrance of S University. Jiang Wang was tired of looking at beauties. He could not help but yawn in boredom. ¡°Bro, why did you think of opening a restaurant at the entrance of S University?¡± Jun Yan stared at the school gate and said coldly, ¡°To earn money!¡± ¡°Pfft!¡± Jiang Wang. If he didn¡¯t know that his bro was rich, he would have believed it. His lips twitched speechlessly. ¡°I think it¡¯s fake that you want to earn money. You actually want to woo a student, right?¡± Look at those female university students below. All of them were young, beautiful and energetic. Which man wouldn¡¯t be tempted?! Moreover, Jun Yan wasn¡¯t young anymore, and his family was in a hurry. It was time to find a woman to start a family and have children. Jun Yan did not refute Jiang Wang. This time, it was Jiang Wang¡¯s turn to be dumbfounded. Oh my god, could he have guessed correctly?! Was he really here to woo a student?! ¡°No, no. Big Brother, with your qualifications, you shouldn¡¯t be reduced to pursuing a female student, right?!¡± ¡°I guarantee that with your face, you can casually walk around in the socialite circle and make your presence known. I guarantee that there will be countless socialites chasing after you!¡± Jun Yan didn¡¯t say anything because he had already noticed a slender figure coming out of the school gate. His calm eyes moved. The girl who blended into the crowd had an exquisite and beautiful face that was cold and indifferent. She had a charm and aura that could not be ignored. Her beauty was flamboyant and unrestrained. It was as if everyone around her was just her backdrop. He finally caught her. Jun Yan stared at her, his gaze fixed and focused. The corners of his lips moved imperceptibly. Si Fan and Gu Xiaoxiao walked out of the school gate and saw the newly opened restaurant opposite the school. When Gu Xiaoxiao saw the students entering and exiting the restaurant, she exclaimed in surprise, ¡°I didn¡¯t expect the restaurant to be so popular. I wonder if there are any seats left for us.¡± Si Fan looked up and glanced at the window of the private room on the second floor. The curtains fluttered, and two slender figures could be vaguely seen. The feeling of being watched came again. She frowned and took the lead to walk over. ¡°Let¡¯s go and take a look.¡± The two of them walked into the restaurant. The dining tables on the first floor were almost fully occupied. It was even more crowded than the school cafeteria. Gu Xiaoxiao regretted coming in. If she had known that there were so many people, she would have just found some other restaurant to eat at. However, since they had entered, there was no reason for them to leave. Fortunately, the restaurant supported online ordering. Otherwise, with so many people, how long would it take to queue? Gu Xiaoxiao looked around and pointed to a spot in the corner. ¡°Big Sister Fan, there are still a few empty seats in the corner. Shall we go over?¡± Si Fan replied faintly. The two of them walked over at the same time. However, just as they were about to take their seats, another group of people pushed them aside and occupied the two seats they had their eyes on. Gu Xiaoxiao frowned. Si Fan glanced at the few people who had occupied their seats expressionlessly. Coincidentally, she knew them. This person she knew was naturally the other stepsister of the original host, Si Ya, a sophisticated fake. When Si Ya looked over, she exclaimed, ¡°Big Sister? Why is it you?¡± Huang Mei, who came with Si Ya, looked at Si Fan in shock. ¡°What? Si Ya, is this your sister, Si Fan?¡± The girl in front of her had a standard oval-shaped face. Her facial features were exquisite, and she was beautiful from the inside out. Her skin was extremely good, and it was as fair as jade. It was as white as a boiled egg that had just been peeled. She was a classic beauty. One would never get tired of her beauty! How could it be that ugly Si Fan wearing ugly glasses? They had clearly met a few days ago, but she still had that disgusting face. How did she become so beautiful in the blink of an eye?! She did not believe it! Other than Huang Mei, the rest of the people also looked at Si Fan¡¯s face in shock. Chapter 22 Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Si Xue stared at Si Fan¡¯s fair face with a complicated expression. In her impression, Si Fan always wore a pair of ugly black-framed glasses that covered both her eyes and most of her face. She looked extremely ugly. So much so that she had forgotten how breathtakingly beautiful the face under her glasses was. Even she, the school belle of S University, could not help but feel ashamed. She secretly clenched her fists and endured the turmoil in her heart. She admitted to Huang Mei, ¡°She is indeed my Big Sister, Si Fan.¡± Although she didn¡¯t want to admit it, she had no choice. Because this relationship was a sure bet, a shoo-in, and everyone knew about it. However, she felt very uncomfortable. The beauty that she was so proud of had been crushed by Si Fan, whom she had always looked down on. How happy could she be?! Huang Mei recovered from her shock and looked at Si Fan with jealousy and disdain. She had heard that Si Fan was sent to a director¡¯s bed by her best friend, Tan Lina, and ended up with Tan Lina being sent to the police station. The director had probably already¡­ She said sarcastically, ¡°Si Xue, so she¡¯s really your sister. We really can¡¯t judge a book by its cover!¡± Si Xue heard Huang Mei¡¯s mockery and smiled faintly. She looked up at Si Fan and said kindly, ¡°Big Sister, are you here for dinner too? Why don¡¯t you join us? My treat.¡± Si Fan replied calmly, ¡°No need. I¡¯m not familiar with you guys.¡± Si Xue¡¯s smile froze and she felt embarrassed. ¡°Big Sister, you really like to joke.¡± She could not help but feel surprised. Was this still the weak and useless Si Fan? Why did it feel like her aura had changed drastically?! It was impossible to see through her or guess her intentions. This realization made her feel uneasy. She felt that Si Fan was gradually getting out of her control. This was something she did not want to see. Si Xue bit her lip and continued, ¡°Big Sister, we¡¯re sisters after all. You don¡¯t have to be so distant with me, right? Did I do something wrong recently and make you angry?¡± Si Xue pretended to be aggrieved. Her eyes even got misty. Those who didn¡¯t know better would think that Si Fan was bullying her again. Huang Mei and the other sisters glared at Si Fan when they saw Si Xue¡¯s eyes turning red. ¡°Little Xue, why do you care so much about her? She doesn¡¯t appreciate your kindness at all!¡± ¡°That¡¯s right. She¡¯s an ingrate who freeloads off the Si Family. She¡¯s heartless and ungrateful. Even a dog is more conscientious than her!¡± When Si Xue heard her friend slandering Si Fan, she tried her best to suppress the smile on her face and hurriedly said, ¡°Don¡¯t talk about my sister like that. She¡¯s not that kind of person.¡± Huang Mei disagreed. ¡°Little Xue, why isn¡¯t she such a person?! She¡¯s just a burden that your stepmother brought into the Si Family. Her status is low and despicable. You¡¯re the real eldest daughter of the Si Family, but you¡¯re being bullied by a fake eldest daughter. Is such a selfish and vicious person worthy of you calling her Big Sister?!¡± Another girl nodded. ¡°That¡¯s right, Little Xue. You¡¯re too kind. As the saying goes, good people are bullied, and good horses are ridden by others. You¡¯re too good to her, so she rode on your head and tyrannized you. If it were me, I wouldn¡¯t care about her life and death!¡± Si Xue¡¯s eyes were filled with tears. ¡°Stop talking. I believe in Big Sister¡­¡± One was playing the good cop and the other was playing the bad cop. Their acting was even better than Peking Opera. Gu Xiaoxiao looked at this scene in shock, not knowing how to react. However, Si Fan¡¯s lips curled into a faint smile. Her tone was filled with mockery. ¡°You just want to treat us, right? Then treat us. Why are you talking so much nonsense?¡± As she spoke, she grabbed Gu Xiaoxiao¡¯s wrist and sat down on the remaining two empty seats. Now, Si Xue didn¡¯t know what to do. She thought that with Si Fan¡¯s personality, she would reject her timidly and leave the restaurant with her tail between her legs. She did not expect Si Fan to agree! Was Si Fan not afraid that she would complain to her father?!m Oh, right. Si Fan had been chased out of the house by her father, so it was normal for her to not be afraid of her father¡¯s authority. However, she had already said that she would treat them. If she refused, it would ruin her image. Si Xue smiled and pretended to be generous. ¡°Big Sister, what would you like to eat?¡± Si Fan picked up the menu on the table and skimmed through it. Her lips moved. ¡°Let¡¯s go with the Supreme VIP package.¡± Supreme VIP package?! Si Xue picked up another menu and glanced at it. Her face turned pale. The Supreme VIP package cost 49,999 yuan. This was almost half of her one month¡¯s pocket money! Si Fan¡¯s move was really ruthless! How could she have the cheek to ask for this supreme set meal?! She could not help but feel smug the moment she left the Si Family. If she dared to go back, she would teach her a lesson! Si Xue suppressed the anger in her heart and forced a smile. ¡°Big Sister, isn¡¯t this¡­ too expensive?¡± If she had known that Si Fan was so greedy, she wouldn¡¯t have said that she would treat her. Si Fan played with a cell phone in her hand and asked casually, ¡°Is it expensive? It¡¯s rare for you to show your filial piety to your Big Sister. If it¡¯s not expensive, how can it show your sincerity?¡± Si Xue instinctively tightened her grip on the menu. Huang Mei couldn¡¯t stand it anymore. ¡°Si Fan, what do you mean?! Si Xue treats you, her Big Sister, sincerely and treats you with kindness. Don¡¯t be so shameless!¡± The others chimed in, ¡°That¡¯s right, have you seen any younger sister treat Big Sister to a meal?! You¡¯re the only exception! If I were Si Xue, I wouldn¡¯t care about your life!¡± Si Fan crossed her legs lazily and asked with a sneer, ¡°Oh, so you¡¯re saying that I¡¯m holding a knife to Si Xue¡¯s neck and forcing her to treat me?¡± Huang Mei gritted her teeth and growled, ¡°But you can¡¯t choose something so expensive!¡± Si Fan smirked nonchalantly. ¡°I¡¯ll eat the most expensive one. Treat me if you want.¡± Her arrogant tone made people want to slap her. ¡°You!¡± Si Xue tugged at Huang Mei¡¯s clothes and said in a weak voice, ¡°Alright, stop it. I believe Big Sister didn¡¯t do it on purpose. If Big Sister wants to eat the Supreme Set meal, just order it. I¡¯m fine.¡± Her tone seemed obedient, but there was actually a hint of grievance. However, Si Fan would not tolerate her grievances. She said calmly, ¡°Si Xue, get lost if you don¡¯t want to treat me. If you¡¯re a good person, don¡¯t always make sarcastic remarks. It¡¯s disgusting!¡± Wasn¡¯t it obvious that she was being sarcastic to Si Xue?! Gu Xiaoxiao could not help but laugh. Big Sister Fan was so domineering! Si Xue almost went berserk when she heard that. Huang Mei said angrily, ¡°Si Xue, don¡¯t treat them. We won¡¯t eat with them. It¡¯s disgusting!¡± Si Xue rolled her eyes and took the opportunity to say, ¡°Big Sister, I¡¯m sorry. My friends don¡¯t really like you, so¡­¡± Si Fan¡¯s fair fingers gently tapped on the smooth table. Her voice was low and cold. ¡°Then get lost quickly. Be quick. I won¡¯t send you off!¡± Anyone with a discerning eye could tell that she was already extremely impatient. Chapter 23 Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Huang Mei said angrily, ¡°We occupied this place first. If you want to get lost, get lost. Why should we get lost?!¡± ¡°That¡¯s right. Get lost!¡± Gu Xiaoxiao could not help but laugh in anger. She had seen shameless people before, but she had never seen anyone so shameless. ¡°We were the ones who came first, but you guys insisted on rushing up to snatch our seats!¡± Huang Mei said self-righteously, ¡°So what? Anyway, we took it first. If you don¡¯t have the ability to take it first, who can you blame!¡± ¡°You!¡± Gu Xiaoxiao was so angry that her face turned red. She wanted to say something, but she could not. She was not good at expressing herself, let alone arguing with others. Therefore, she chose to endure it. ¡°Get lost!¡± Huang Mei took advantage of their numbers and became even more arrogant. She even pointed at Si Fan and ordered her to get lost. Si Xue watched calmly without saying a word, but she was actually gloating in her heart. Seeing Si Fan being bullied, she felt pervertedly happy! Gu Xiaoxiao gritted her teeth, feeling angry and aggrieved. She looked at Si Fan with misty eyes. ¡°Big Sister Fan, we¡­¡± Before she could finish her sentence, Si Fan, who had been sitting calmly, slowly stood up. She leaned forward and her slender and fair fingers quickly grabbed Huang Mei¡¯s wrist. Then, she casually swung it. It seemed like a light movement, but it threw her and the chair out. Huang Mei¡¯s sharp voice exploded in the restaurant. Everyone looked over and were stunned. Huang Mei fell to the ground with her butt first. Her face contorted in pain. Her image was gone in an instant! At the same time, Jun Yan and Jiang Wang, who were about to go downstairs, stopped in their tracks when they saw this scene. Jiang Wang almost couldn¡¯t help but applaud when he saw Si Fan throwing a woman down with her bare hands. What kind of maiden was this? She was too beautiful and valiant! Jun Yan¡¯s black-gloved fingers rested on the handrail of the stairs as he knocked on it. A hint of interest flashed across his dark eyes. Si Xue was stunned when she saw Huang Mei fall to the ground. She immediately ran over and helped her up. She turned around and complained to Si Fan, ¡°Big Sister, what are you doing?! Even if you¡¯re unwilling to leave this table, you can¡¯t hit someone!¡± Si Fan calmly took out a tissue and wiped the hand that had just touched Huang Mei¡¯s before throwing it into the trash can beside her. She said indifferently, ¡°I find her annoying!¡± When dealing with people with mental illnesses, she liked to attack them directly instead of wasting her breath to defend herself. Huang Mei rubbed her aching butt angrily when she saw Si Fan¡¯s disdainful action of wiping her hands. ¡°Si Fan, y-you¡¯re too much. How dare you hit me in public? Who gave you the guts? I don¡¯t believe I can¡¯t deal with you!¡± She shouted, ¡°Someone! Attendant, call your manager over and chase this person out of the restaurant!¡± The restaurant¡¯s manager and service staff rushed over. The manager glanced at the chaotic scene at the event location and immediately asked, ¡°What¡¯s going on?¡± Huang Mei pointed at Si Fan and said angrily, ¡°It¡¯s her. She snatched our seats right from the start. We didn¡¯t give in and she hit me. Now, she¡¯s hurting me. Hurry up and chase her out!¡± The girls with Huang Mei nodded. ¡°That¡¯s right, we¡¯re all witnesses!¡± Gu Xiaoxiao hurriedly said, ¡°Manager, don¡¯t listen to their nonsense. They¡¯re all in cahoots. We were the ones who took up this spot first. You guys snatched it from us!¡± Huang Mei retorted, ¡°You¡¯re talking nonsense!¡± ¡°Manager, it¡¯s not right to hit someone in the restaurant, right? She hit me just now. It¡¯s not right!¡± The restaurant manager frowned and looked at Huang Mei before looking at Gu Xiaoxiao. In the end, his gaze landed on the extremely calm Si Fan. These two groups of people each had their own opinions. It was really difficult to tell who was telling the truth. But it was true that this girl had hit someone. The restaurant prohibited fighting and causing trouble, so¡­ The restaurant manager said to Si Fan and Gu Xiaoxiao, ¡°Ladies, please leave our restaurant!¡± Huang Mei immediately vented her anger. ¡°Did you hear that? Get out of this place!¡± Si Xue tried her best to suppress the smile on her face and sounded disappointed. ¡°Big Sister, you¡¯ve gone overboard with this matter. I¡¯m very disappointed. Hurry up and leave the restaurant. It won¡¯t be good for our family if this matter blows up!¡± The onlookers also shouted for Si Fan and Gu Xiaoxiao to leave the restaurant. ¡°Get out of here!¡± ¡°Go away!¡± Gu Xiaoxiao was at a loss. She realized that the truth was no longer important. What was important was that Big Sister Fan had hit someone and had to be kicked out. Si Fan¡¯s expression did not change. She reached out and grabbed Gu Xiaoxiao¡¯s collar. ¡°Let¡¯s go!¡± If she did not stay here, there would be a place for her to stay. Before she could finish his sentence, A voice hurriedly said. ¡°Ladies, please wait!¡± Si Fan stopped in her tracks. The manager looked over. An attendant ran over and whispered into his ear. The manager¡¯s expression changed and he immediately walked towards Si Fan. His attitude changed drastically. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, Miss. I¡¯ve offended you just now. I didn¡¯t know that you were actually someone under our boss¡¯s protection. I¡¯m really sorry.¡± What?! Si Xue and Huang Mei could not help but be stunned when they heard that. Si Fan¡­ was being protected by the boss of this restaurant?! Who was the boss of the restaurant?! Why would he protect Si Fan?! Gu Xiaoxiao could not help but look at Si Fan in surprise. This restaurant had just opened today. She heard that the boss behind it was quite mysterious. He seemed to have a background and power. And Big Sister Fan actually knew the owner of the restaurant?! However, wasn¡¯t Big Sister Fan an inconspicuous fake daughter of the Si Family, or wasn¡¯t she just a weak acting student in the school? She suddenly felt that Big Sister Fan¡­ was even more mysterious! In the face of everyone¡¯s surprise, Si Fan was not surprised at all. The corners of her mouth curled up slightly. She seemed to have expected something. The manager lowered his head and said very respectfully, ¡°Ladies, our boss is in a VIP room upstairs. He wants to invite you to have lunch together. He hopes that the two of you will give him face!¡± Si Fan raised her eyebrows and murmured softly. ¡°Lead the way.¡± She wanted to see who was secretly paying attention to her and helping her time and time again. The manager immediately made an inviting gesture. ¡°Ladies, please!¡± Soon, the manager brought Si Fan and Gu Xiaoxiao upstairs. The earlier chaos gradually calmed down under the comfort of the attendants. However, Si Xue and Huang Mei couldn¡¯t calm down for a long time. Huang Mei couldn¡¯t help but ask, ¡°Little Xue, what¡¯s going on?! How does your sister know the owner of this new restaurant?¡± Si Xue frowned. ¡°I¡¯m not sure. Big Sister never tells our family what she does or who she knows. She wouldn¡¯t tell me even if I asked her.¡± Huang Mei rubbed her butt and gritted her teeth. ¡°Hmph, I¡¯m guessing that your sister must have an unknown relationship with the owner of this restaurant. For example, the relationship between a kept woman and her sugar daddy!¡± Otherwise, why would she suddenly be protected by a boss who owned a restaurant! Si Xue hurriedly said, ¡°Shh, don¡¯t spout nonsense. My sister has a fianc¨¦. If her fianc¨¦ finds out that she has a relationship with another man, he will definitely fly into a rage!¡± Chapter 24 Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Huang Mei¡¯s eyes widened. ¡°What? Your sister actually has a fianc¨¦?¡± ¡°It¡¯s the second young master of the Jiang family, Jiang Qi.¡± As Si Xue spoke, a trace of disdain flashed past her eyes. It was obvious that she hated the man she was talking about. When Huang Mei heard that, her eyes were also filled with disdain. Although the Jiang family was the number one aristocratic family in Xiang City and had immense power, Jiang Qi could be said to be an ignorant and incompetent playboy rich second-generation heirs. He didn¡¯t have much ability and only knew how to drink, womanize and gamble. It was said that he was especially crazy when it came to women. He changed them every night and never repeated them. If he took a fancy to any woman, that woman would immediately be unlucky! Although Huang Mei was born into an ordinary family, her parents were only working clerks and did not have much culture, she just couldn¡¯t stand a playboy like Jiang Qi. What if she provoked him and accidentally got an illness from him?! ¡°Little Xue, why didn¡¯t you say earlier that Si Fan was Jiang Qi¡¯s fianc¨¦e?¡± One was a piece of trash that the director had slept with, and the other was a playboy. They were a perfect match! Si Xue smiled without saying anything. Because she was the one who had a betrothal with Jiang Qi, not Si Fan. But she looked down on a disgusting scum like Jiang Qi from the start, so she thought of a way to get her father to swap her with Si Fan. Perhaps the Jiang family really felt that Jiang Qi was not worthy of her, so they agreed to her father¡¯s request. And she would never submit to someone like Jiang Qi. If she wanted to marry, she would marry a man standing at the top of the pyramid. Xiang City was too small. The men here were not worthy of her. The young masters of real wealthy families gathered in places like Beijing where every inch of land was worth money. After she graduated from university, she would go to Beijing and meet her true love! *** On the other hand, Si Fan and Gu Xiaoxiao followed the manager to a private room. Gu Xiaoxiao was a little nervous. Her hands gripped Si Fan¡¯s sleeves tightly. Si Fan had never seen a girl as nervous and scared as Gu Xiaoxiao. She could not help but twitch her lips. ¡°What are you afraid of? Don¡¯t you have me?¡± Gu Xiaoxiao said uneasily, ¡°B-Big Sister Fan, I¡¯m afraid that the other party is a big boss in the underworld who has taken a fancy to your beauty. Hence, he got someone to bring you to a concealed private room. Then, you¡¯ll be suppressed by him and you¡¯ll be¡­¡± She had read many romance novels. The plot developments in them were similar. Si Fan¡¯s expression did not change. She said lazily, ¡°It¡¯s still uncertain who will be the one being suppressed.¡± Gu Xiaoxiao was shocked. ¡°Huh?¡± The manager couldn¡¯t stand it anymore and explained kindly, ¡°Miss, my boss is a serious businessman. He¡¯s definitely not the big boss of the underworld you¡¯re talking about. He definitely won¡¯t do anything illegal!¡± Gu Xiaoxiao nodded skeptically, keeping her speculation to herself. Si Fan didn¡¯t have much patience. She walked over to the private room and pushed open the carved sandalwood door. The door opened instantly. A faint fragrance of tea mixed with the fragrance of sandalwood wafted over. It had the effect of focusing one¡¯s mind and nourishing one¡¯s Qi. It smelled good. The owner of this private room knew how to enjoy himself. She reached out and lifted the purple curtain in front of her. At first glance, there was a table full of sumptuous dishes. There were more than 20 of them, and there were all different dishes. However, when she looked around, other than a table of sumptuous dishes and some antique decorations, there was nothing alive here. In other words, the owner of the private room was not here. Si Fan¡¯s gaze landed on the dining table again. She keenly caught a piece of white paper under a rice bowl. She walked over and pulled out the white paper. A line of words entered her eyes. The words were vigorous and powerful. They were quite domineering. They were also concise. Have a good meal, little girl. See you again if fate allows. Si Fan¡¯s peach blossom eyes narrowed at first, then she smiled playfully and gently crumpled the paper into a ball. Interesting! The manager also walked in and looked around. He said inexplicably, ¡°Strange, where¡¯s my boss? He was clearly in this private room just now.¡± Gu Xiaoxiao followed behind the manager. She blinked her eyes and guessed softly, ¡°Maybe¡­ he slipped away?¡± ¡°¡­¡± Manager. Si Fan did not speak. She sat down on a chair and beckoned Gu Xiaoxiao with her finger. ¡°Xiaoxiao, come and have dinner with me!¡± Gu Xiaoxiao blushed. It sounded like she was Big Sister Fan¡¯s favorite concubine. It felt quite embarrassing. Gu Xiaoxiao blushed and immediately walked over to sit beside Si Fan. The manager did not see his boss, so he did not want to disturb the two girls from eating. He silently took his leave. Seeing that the manager had left, Gu Xiaoxiao pondered for a moment before asking curiously, ¡°Big Sister Fan, do you really know the owner of this restaurant?¡± Si Fan picked up a piece of peeled lobster and slowly took a bite. After chewing a few times, she said, ¡°I don¡¯t know him.¡± Gu Xiaoxiao widened her eyes. ¡°Huh? N-no. You don¡¯t know him. So, why did he treat us to a meal?¡± Si Fan¡¯s eyes darkened. ¡°God knows.¡± Gu Xiaoxiao stroked her chin and made a guess. ¡°Big Sister Fan, you might not know him, but he might know you. Besides, he must have taken a fancy to you.¡± Si Fan smiled faintly and raised her eyebrows. ¡°What if it¡¯s her and not him?¡± Gu Xiaoxiao: ¡°Erm¡­¡± That¡­ I don¡¯t know. *** In another private room. Jiang Wang stared at a certain man who was eating elegantly and calmly. He asked soulfully, ¡°Yan, are you sick?!¡± Otherwise, why would he help a girl he had never met before?! He was not such a busybody. He would not specially invite that girl to dinner either! Although that female university student looked quite beautiful and valiant, Jun Yan wasn¡¯t the kind of man who would fall for a girl! Could it be that he had misjudged him? Jun Yan put down his chopsticks, picked up a glass of red wine, and took a sip. He crossed his legs lazily. He glanced at Jiang Wang indifferently and said indifferently, ¡°Eat your food.¡± Jiang Wang could tell that he was in a good mood. Jiang Wang pouted and picked up his chopsticks to eat. Suddenly, he seemed to have thought of something and could not help but say, ¡°Wait, I heard that the girl¡¯s name is Si Fan. At first glance, she sounds familiar. I think the fianc¨¦e of my nephew in Xiang City is called Si Fan. Coincidentally, they have the same name, but I don¡¯t know if it¡¯s the same person.¡± Jun Yan narrowed his dark eyes. There was an inexplicable change in the indifferent aura on his body. There was a ghastly silence. For some reason, Jiang Wang felt a chill run down his spine. He quickly said, ¡°Ahem, ahem. But I don¡¯t think it¡¯s the same person because I heard my nephew talk about his fianc¨¦e. She¡¯s ugly and boring. Not only is she ugly, but she also always wears a pair of black-framed glasses. He feels like vomiting just looking at her.¡± ¡°But that girl earlier makes men¡¯s hearts throb. How could she be the ugly fianc¨¦e my nephew mentioned?¡± Jun Yan glanced at Jiang Wang coldly and said in a low voice, ¡°Are you tempted?¡± Jiang Wang¡¯s Adam¡¯s apple bobbed. ¡°¡­No.¡± Jun Yan said, ¡°Stop dreaming. You¡¯re not good enough for her.¡± ¡°¡­¡± Jiang Wang. F*ck! He even said that he didn¡¯t like her. He clearly treated her as his property! And he didn¡¯t allow other men to covet her. Bastard! *** After the meal. Si Fan and Gu Xiaoxiao walked out of the room after having their fill. Gu Xiaoxiao recalled that they had just had a free meal and asked uneasily, ¡°Big Sister Fan, do we need to pay the bill? After all¡­ the man who¡¯s treating us isn¡¯t around.¡± She wondered if it was really a treat. What if that boss went back on his word and refused to treat them?! Si Fan narrowed her eyes. After a second of silence, she walked downstairs again. ¡°Let¡¯s go down and ask.¡± Gu Xiaoxiao scratched her head and followed him. As soon as she went downstairs, she saw a conflict at the cashier. ¡°Didn¡¯t you say that there¡¯s a 50% discount? All the other customers have 50% off. Why do we have to pay the original price?!¡± ¡°That¡¯s right, it¡¯s unfair. You have to give us a 50% discount!¡± The people who were causing a scene at the cashier were Huang Mei and Si Xue. Chapter 25 Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations The manager apologized with an expressionless face. ¡°Sorry, the other customers have a 50% discount, but you bullied the people under our boss¡¯s protection, so you need to pay the original price!¡± Huang Mei was flustered and exasperated. ¡°Y-you¡¯re clearly twisting your words and deliberately targeting us!¡± The manager nodded seriously. ¡°That¡¯s right. You guessed right. We¡¯re deliberately targeting you.¡± Huang Mei almost exploded on the spot when she heard that. Si Xue tugged at the sleeve of the impulsive Huang Mei and smiled at the manager. ¡°Manager, that girl¡¯s name is Si Fan. She¡¯s my Big Sister. She had some misunderstandings with us and that¡¯s why we had a fight. Besides, you saw it just now. We were the ones who suffered a loss. You can¡¯t go against your conscience and help the evildoer!¡± The manager looked surprised. ¡°Isn¡¯t she your sister? You¡¯re not helping your big sister. Instead, why are you helping outsiders abuse your sister?¡± Si Xue¡¯s expression froze for a few seconds before she smiled awkwardly. ¡°I¡¯ve always helped the righteous and not my family.¡± The manager looked at Si Xue strangely for a few seconds, but he didn¡¯t argue with her. ¡°Even if you two sisters don¡¯t have a good relationship, there¡¯s no need to tell me such nonsense. The boss instructed me to do this. Unless¡­¡± Si Xue continued to ask, ¡°Unless what?¡± The manager said, ¡°Unless you apologize to the lady, we will then agree to give you the discount.¡± Si Xue¡¯s expression darkened. Apologize to Si Fan?! How was this possible?! She would never do that! Huang Mei also felt that her dignity had been severely humiliated. She said angrily, ¡°Your restaurant has just opened and you¡¯re already lying to consumers. I¡¯m going to call 12315 to complain about you!¡± The manager was unmoved. ¡°Whatever!¡± Huang Mei was so angry that she wanted to take out her phone to make a call, but Si Xue stopped her. She said calmly, ¡°Isn¡¯t it just the original price? We¡¯ll pay for it.¡± She did not want to lose her reputation for being calculative over a little money. ¡°Why didn¡¯t you cooperate with us earlier?¡± As the manager spoke, he checked the bill for Si Xue and the others. ¡°You ordered a few signature dishes from our restaurant, including drinks, red wine, desserts, and fruit salad. A total of 54,838 yuan.¡± After a pause, the manager glanced at Si Xue. ¡°Are you paying with Alipay or WeChat? Card or cash?¡± Si Xue gritted her teeth and gave a fake smile. ¡°I¡¯ll swipe my card.¡± The manager took out the card reader and extended his hand to Si Xue. ¡°Alright, give me the card.¡± Si Xue glanced at her friends and all of them looked away. Even Huang Mei lowered her head, as if she couldn¡¯t hear them. Suppressing her anger, Si Xue could only take out her card and pass it to the manager. She even pretended to smile generously. The manager took the card, swiped it, and returned it to Si Xue. Si Xue glanced at Huang Mei and the rest. ¡°Let¡¯s go!¡± Just as they were about to turn around, they saw Si Fan and Gu Xiaoxiao standing a meter behind them, staring at them for a long time. Huang Mei couldn¡¯t suppress her anger and said sarcastically, ¡°Si Fan, you¡¯re really good. You¡¯ve hooked up with a big shot, right?¡± Si Fan looked straight ahead and completely ignored them. She walked up to the manager and said indifferently, ¡°The bill, please.¡± The Manager was a little embarrassed. ¡°Ahem, Miss, your meal is on my boss. You don¡¯t have to pay the bill.¡± Si Fan lifted her eyelids. Her peach-blossom-like eyes had an otherworldly coldness to them. ¡°I don¡¯t deserve this. I don¡¯t know your boss. If he really wants to settle the bill, ask him to come out and settle it personally.¡± The manager almost couldn¡¯t take Si Fan¡¯s stare, but he was just an employee. How could he order his boss? He had no choice but to use his ultimate technique. Hence, the manager shouted loudly, ¡°Everyone, the restaurant has made an important decision at the last minute. The entire restaurant will be free today. Everyone, eat and drink for free!¡± Everyone was in an uproar. ¡°What?! Free food and drinks??¡± ¡°Wow, this is awesome!¡± ¡°I wish the restaurant a prosperous business in the future and a bountiful income!¡± Someone shouted. ¡°Thank you, Boss. Thank you, Lady Boss!¡± ¡°¡­¡± Si Fan. ¡°¡­¡± Gu Xiaoxiao. Si Xue, Huang Mei, and the others, who had just paid in full, instantly looked as if they had eaten sh*t. Wasn¡¯t this too f*cking double standard? Why did they have to pay in full while Si Fan didn¡¯t have to? Why did the manager have to let everyone dine and dash? This! This! Comparisons were really infuriating! After saying that, the manager smiled at Si Fan and said, ¡°Miss, your meal is free. You don¡¯t have to pay the bill. Please come again!¡± Si Fan stared at the manager expressionlessly for a few seconds before turning back to glance at the stunned Gu Xiaoxiao. Then, she hooked her arm around her shoulder. ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡± Gu Xiaoxiao came back to her senses and replied, ¡°Oh!¡± Si Xue watched as Si Fan walked past her. The girl¡¯s eyes were cold, revealing a trace of careless laziness and arrogance. In Si Xue¡¯s eyes, it was as if Si Fan was silently showing off something. She stared at Si Fan¡¯s back and secretly clenched her fists, her nails digging into her palms. Huang Mei was also very angry. She couldn¡¯t help but complain to Si Xue, ¡°Si Xue, what kind of Big Sister is that? She kept watching you from behind and didn¡¯t say anything to help you when she saw you being bullied by the restaurant manager just now. She didn¡¯t take you seriously at all!¡± Si Xue slowly let go and shook her head. ¡°Stop talking. I¡¯m already used to Big Sister being like this.¡± Her tone was slightly desolate. Huang Mei snorted. ¡°Don¡¯t speak up for her next time, and don¡¯t treat her to a meal. She¡¯s an ingrate. She¡¯s not worthy at all!¡± Si Xue lowered her eyes and head. She did not speak, but her expression was rather cold. *** After school in the afternoon. Si Fan did not choose to stay on campus. Instead, she returned to the hotel. It was mainly because it was too inconvenient to stay on campus. Moreover, S University¡¯s ordinary dormitory was a four-person dormitory. Si Fan was assigned to a four-person dormitory. She had never liked her private space being invaded by others, so choosing to stay in a hotel was a good idea. She would buy a house and live there after she gradually earned some money. She planned to go to the clothing store in the mall and buy a few new sets of clothes for herself before returning to the hotel. She was wearing clothes that Si Xue and Si Ya didn¡¯t want. She felt very uncomfortable. She was the interstellar¡¯s God of War and Queen. Even if she was so poor that she had to wear a¡­ trash bag, she wouldn¡¯t be willing to wear someone else¡¯s discarded clothes! She strolled around casually. Suddenly, she seemed to have seen something and stopped in her tracks. In a clothing store not far away, Jiang Qin¡¯s figure could be seen clearly as she shuttled back and forth. Si Fan¡¯s gaze froze. She pondered for a moment before walking over. Jiang Qin paced around the rows of dresses. She took a fancy to a yellow dress and held it in her hand. She even held it against her body for a moment before shaking her head. Then, she walked over and asked the shop assistant, ¡°Excuse me, is this yellow dress of size M?¡± The shop assistant glanced at the dress and nodded. ¡°Yes, please wait a moment.¡± After a while, the shop assistant brought over an M size and handed it to Jiang Qin. Jiang Qin tried to hold it against herself and frowned. She felt that it was not suitable. Thinking about it carefully, it had been a long time since she bought clothes for Fanfan. No matter what she chose, it did not seem to suit her. She was not satisfied no matter how she looked at it. It was not good to buy a bigger size, nor was it good to buy a smaller size. However, she did not know what size was suitable for Si Fan. It was a headache. Chapter 26 Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Seeing Jiang Qin¡¯s conflicted expression, the shop assistant asked kindly, ¡°Madam, do you want to choose for yourself or for your daughter?¡± Jiang Qin instinctively said, ¡°For my daughter.¡± The shop assistant asked, ¡°What¡¯s your daughter¡¯s weight and how tall is she?¡± Jiang Qin was stunned for a moment. Then, she recalled carefully that she had not measured her daughter¡¯s height and weight for a long time. She did not know them. She was really an incompetent mother. She roughly estimated Si Fan¡¯s height and weight and said ambiguously, ¡°She¡¯s about 1.7 meters tall and thin, about 45 kilograms.¡± The shop assistant nodded. ¡°I see. Then the size M might be a little short. You can try the size L dress. Of course, you can bring it back and let your daughter try it, our shop allows exchanging.¡± ¡°Alright, bring out the L-sized dresses. I¡¯ll pick out a few more!¡± Jiang Qin thought that other people¡¯s children would definitely wear beautiful dresses in university. They would change a dress every day. Her daughter could not lose out to other people¡¯s children. Her eyes couldn¡¯t help but tear up when she thought about how her daughter was going to leave the Si Family and become independent. Afraid that the shop assistant would see her embarrassment, she quickly turned around and gently wiped the corners of her wet eyes. She looked up and saw a familiar figure standing two meters away. Jiang Qin sighed in her heart. She couldn¡¯t sleep last night and was in a daze. She even hallucinated and thought that she saw Fanfan. She laughed at herself, then rubbed her eyes. When she looked again, she was still standing across from her. She was stunned. It didn¡¯t seem like an illusion. Si Fan, who was standing opposite her, smiled when she saw Jiang Qin¡¯s childish actions. She felt that Jiang Qin, as mother, was quite cute. She deeply understood that there was a feeling called empathy. She had taken over this body, which meant that she had taken over everything, including her thoughts, feelings, and actions. Everything affected her. Naturally, it also included the love that the original host had for her mother. In her previous life, she was a queen with a high position. She had a status above everyone and could have whatever she wanted. However, she, who was so high up in the air and held so much power, did not have a single relative by her side. It was lonely at the top. She seemed to have everything that others could not reach, but in fact, she had no one to share it with. No one around her could be trusted. Otherwise, she would not have been framed and murdered by her trusted aides. No one mourned her death after she died. Si Fan fixed her eyes on Jiang Qin, whose eyes had turned red for her daughter. Her heart, which had always been cold, softened a little. She said, ¡°Mom, what are you doing here?¡± Jiang Qin came back to her senses when she heard Si Fan¡¯s voice. ¡°F-Fanfan, is it really you? Mom thought I was mistaken.¡± Si Fan acknowledged and walked closer. Her gaze landed on the yellow dress in Jiang Qin¡¯s hand. When Jiang Qin saw Si Fan staring at the dress in her hands, she quickly unfolded the dress for her to see. ¡°I have some time to buy some clothes for you. Do you like this dress? If you like it, try it on.¡± Coincidentally, the shop assistant walked over with an L-size dress. She was stunned when she saw Si Fan standing beside Jiang Qin. The girl¡¯s facial features were smooth and exquisite. Every part of her body was perfect and flawless. They looked even more perfect when combined together. Her face was porcelain-white like jade. A pair of beautiful peach blossom eyes were embedded in between her jade-like nose bridge. The shop assistant stared at Si Fan, unable to take her eyes off her. She was too beautiful. Girls liked pretty girls more than boys. Jiang Qin noticed the shop assistant¡¯s stunned gaze and instantly felt quite proud. She pointed at Si Fan and said, ¡°This is my daughter.¡± The shop assistant immediately praised, ¡°Madam, your daughter is really good-looking. One look and you can tell that she¡¯s a blessed person.¡± Jiang Qin was filled with emotions. ¡°I hope so. Thank you for your blessings.¡± She hoped that Si Fan would be able to live a better life after leaving the Si Family and not continue to be oppressed by the Si Family, like her, who had no control over her life. The shop assistant continued, ¡°Since your daughter is here, it¡¯s even easier. Just let her try on the dress and we¡¯ll know if it¡¯s suitable.¡± Jiang Qin nodded and took the yellow dress from the shop assistant. She looked at Si Fan expectantly. ¡°¡­¡± Si Fan. Jiang Qin saw that Si Fan was not moving and asked in surprise, ¡°Why? You don¡¯t like this kind of dress?¡± Si Fan replied, ¡°It¡¯s not convenient for me to wear a dress these days.¡± ¡°?¡± Jiang Qin was puzzled. ¡°Why is it inconvenient?¡± Didn¡¯t university girls like to wear all kinds of dresses? ¡°Nothing. I don¡¯t like wearing dresses these days.¡± After Si Fan finished speaking, she swept her gaze around and finally walked to the tops¡¯ area. She picked a few pieces of white and black shirts, then a few pieces of black pants that were slightly loose. After choosing, she threw the clothes to the shop assistant. ¡°I¡¯ll take these. I don¡¯t need to try them on.¡± The shop assistant¡¯s face was crunched up. ¡°Young lady, you¡¯re so beautiful and have such a good figure. It¡¯s a pity not to wear a dress.¡± Si Fan said, ¡°Bill, please!¡± The shop assistant, who did not see the beauty in the dress, sighed and reluctantly carried the clothes to the counter to settle the bill. Jiang Qin also felt that it was a pity. She still preferred her daughter to wear a dress, which was more ladylike. In addition, her daughter was so beautiful. She might be able to find a good husband in university. At least she would have someone to take care of her in the future. She would be more at ease. However, on second thought, if someone really cared about their daughter, why would they care what she was wearing? Inner beauty was the most important. The few sets of clothes cost more than 50,000 yuan. Jiang Qin paid with her card. She saw Si Fan taking out a card as well. She wondered if there was still 1,000 yuan left in that card. How could she afford to buy clothes that cost 50,000 yuan? As her mother, she had to pay for it. Besides, as her mother, she should be the one to buy clothes for her daughter. How could she use her daughter¡¯s card to pay?! Little did she know that Si Fan had 500,000 yuan in her card. Si Fan took out her card and saw Jiang Qin eagerly handing her card to the shop assistant. In the end, Si Fan put the card back. After buying a few sets of clothes, Jiang Qin planned to buy a few pairs of shoes for Si Fan, such as sneakers and casual shoes. Moreover, Si Fan was a performing arts student, so she needed high heels and dancing shoes as well. Si Fan had no objections because it was indeed time for her to change her shoes. Murong Xiang, who was shopping with her friends, saw a slender figure enter a ladies¡¯ shoe boutique. She stopped in her tracks. ¡°Eh, isn¡¯t that¡­¡± Madam Jiang, who was beside her, sensed her abnormality and asked, ¡°Madam Jun, what¡¯s wrong?¡± Murong Xiang looked at the slender figure that had already disappeared from the shoe boutique and smiled faintly. She pointed at the shoe boutique. ¡°It¡¯s nothing. I want to buy a new pair of shoes recently. Let¡¯s go into that shoe boutique and shop?¡± Madam Jiang glanced at the shoe boutique and frowned. ¡°Madam Jun, most shoes in that shoe boutique are only a few thousand yuan. It¡¯s not a good brand and the materials used are extremely poor. There¡¯s nothing to shop there. I know a good shoe boutique not far from here. It¡¯s only a few minutes away. I¡¯ll take you shopping there.¡± Chapter 27 Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Murong Xiang said calmly, ¡°Shoes are the same as humans. There¡¯s no distinction between expensive and cheap, and there¡¯s no difference between high-class and low-class. What suits your feet are good shoes. I just want to go into that boutique to shop. It¡¯s up to you whether you want to come or not.¡± She took the lead and walked over as she spoke. Madam Jiang and the other ladies looked at each other and then followed after her. Although they didn¡¯t like to shop in such unpresentable as shoe boutiques, they had to accompany Murong Xiang if she wanted to go. After all, Murong Xiang¡¯s status was unattainable. She was someone who had married into a top noble family in Beijing. Who wouldn¡¯t bow down to her? And what Murong Xiang said was that shoes were the same as humans. How was that possible?! In this world, the weak relied on the strong. Powerful people were destined to be high up in the air. As for the weak, they were only worthy of hugging the legs of the strong without any dignity. On the other side, Murong Xiang stepped into the shoe boutique first. The shop assistant could tell that Murong Xiang was dressed in an extraordinary manner and hurriedly went forward to welcome her with a warm smile. ¡°Madam, what kind of shoes would you like to see?¡± Murong Xiang looked around for that familiar figure. ¡°I¡¯m just looking around. You don¡¯t have to care about me.¡± The shop assistant knew that some customers didn¡¯t like to be disturbed, so she nodded and gave Murong Xiang some privacy. Murong Xiang pretended to look for shoes while looking for Si Fan. She was secretly anxious. He had clearly seen her enter this shoe boutique. Why couldn¡¯t she see her now?! Moreover, there were quite a lot of customers in this shoe boutique. After a while, it became more difficult to look for Si Fan. After Murong Xiang entered the shop, Madam Jiang and the other madams followed her. Seeing the Madams¡¯ high and mighty attitude, the shop assistant also greeted them with a smile. Madam Jiang and the others were used to being fawned upon. They didn¡¯t have a good attitude towards the shop assistant. They ignored her and went to look for Murong Xiang. Suddenly, Madam Huang, who was beside Madam Jiang, pointed at a figure blocked by a shoe rack and was stunned. ¡°Madam Jiang, look, isn¡¯t that Madam Si?¡± When Madam Jiang heard this, she immediately looked over and saw Jiang Qin bending down to pick out shoes in the special-priced shoe section. The clothes she was wearing were not branded either. They looked like they only cost a few hundred yuan at most and were very shabby. She was indeed an unpresentable thing! Madam Jiang shifted her gaze and noticed that there was a beautiful girl beside Jiang Qin. The girl¡¯s beautiful black hair hung on her shoulders. Her hair drew a beautiful and flamboyant arc as she walked leisurely. Her face was fair and unforgettable. They wondered which family she came from. Of course, Madam Jiang would never know that the girl in front of her was Si Fan, whom she had always looked down on. Si Fan was her son, Jiang Qi¡¯s fianc¨¦e. In her eyes, Si Fan was ugly, lowly, and illiterate. She was considered to have forfeited the college entrance examination because of cheating. In the end, she had to rely on the Si Family to get into university. In short, Si Fan was a good-for-nothing! No, calling her a ¡°good-for-nothing¡± would even insult the word ¡°good-for-nothing¡±! If not for the fact that Old Madam Jiang was in a daze back then and kept saying that Si Fan looked like someone she knew, agreeing to the Si Family changing Jiang Qi¡¯s fianc¨¦e to Si Fan, her son¡¯s fianc¨¦e would still be Si Xue, a top economics student at S University. She would not be a performance major who could only be an actress after graduation! When Madam Jiang saw Jiang Qin, she could only think of her unpresentable daughter. She immediately walked over and greeted her sarcastically. ¡°Yo, I was wondering who it was. So it¡¯s Madam Si!¡± Jiang Qin heard a familiar voice and looked up. Her face stiffened when she saw Madam Jiang and the others walking towards her. Why was it her?! Si Fan looked up at the person. She searched the original host¡¯s memory and came to the conclusion that she didn¡¯t know her. Jiang Qin was stunned for a few seconds before she smiled awkwardly. ¡°Madam Jiang, Madam Chen, Madam Song, what a coincidence. You¡¯re here to shop at the shoe boutique too.¡± In the Si Family, Jiang Qin usually lived in seclusion and hid in her world. If Si Fan and Jiang Qi weren¡¯t engaged since they were young, she wouldn¡¯t have interacted with Madam Jiang. After interacting with her, she realized that Madam Jiang was arrogant and looked down on her and Si Fan. She was sarcastic and deliberately targeted her. Hence, she would not take the initiative to ask for trouble by engaging Madam Jiang. Usually, she wouldn¡¯t meet Madam Jiang unless there was a big occasion. However, she did not expect to bump into her while shopping. How¡­ unlucky. Madam Jiang raised her chin. ¡°Madam Si, I was just strolling around. I thought it was some high-end shoe boutique, but I didn¡¯t expect it to be a trash shop. Tsk, tsk, tsk. The shoes in your hands are on sale, right? One look and you can tell that they¡¯re outdated. How can you even like them?¡± Jiang Qin smiled awkwardly and put the shoes back on the rack when she heard that. The circle of wealthy ladies loved to compare with one another. Jiang Qin was still judged even if she was unwilling to participate in that circle. As time passed, Jiang Qin developed a habit. No matter what she wore, it would be a brand that cost tens of thousands of yuan. She was afraid that she would become a joke in their circle and embarrass the Si Family. If not for the fact that she wanted to save some money, she would not have bought Si Fan discounted shoes. Jiang Qin said, ¡°I¡¯m just looking around.¡± Madam Jiang smiled. ¡°Madam Si, you can¡¯t be too casual. Be careful, you may be looked down upon.¡± Jiang Qin lowered her head. She was used to being weak. She would habitually hide in her shell when others provoked her. She would not take the initiative to cause trouble. She would protect herself. Si Fan, who had been silent, chuckled lightly. She spoke unhurriedly with a hint of mockery in her tone. ¡°Who¡¯s so free to care about what others think?¡± She leaned lazily against the rack with her left leg slightly bent and her arms crossed. The disdain in that pair of cold and clear peach blossom eyes was so obvious. Madam Jiang¡¯s expression changed. She looked at Si Fan with an unfriendly gaze. For some reason, the more she looked at her, the more familiar she felt as if she had seen her somewhere before. But no matter how hard she racked her brains, she could not figure out that the person in front of her was Si Fan. Madam Jiang narrowed her eyes. ¡°Who are you?! How dare you speak to me like that?!¡± Si Fan looked calm. ¡°Who are you?¡± Madam Jiang¡¯s expression stiffened. It was as if she had been slapped in the face. She was the mistress of Xiang City¡¯s richest family. Everyone in Xiang City knew about her. Today, she was actually refuted by a little girl?! She was so angry! Madam Jiang was furious. ¡°Whose child are you? You¡¯re so rude. You don¡¯t even know who I am!!!¡± Si Fan looked up and sneered. ¡°Are you worthy of me knowing who you are?¡± Her casual tone was filled with cold arrogance. ¡°You! You¡­¡± Before Madam Jiang could finish her sentence, Jiang Qin whispered to Si Fan, ¡°Fanfan, she is Jiang Qi¡¯s mother.¡± She was reminding Si Fan that she was betrothed to Jiang Qi and that Madam Jiang might be her future mother-in-law. Chapter 28 Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Si Fan¡¯s cold gaze didn¡¯t change at all, but she understood inwardly. So, the crazy woman in front of him was the mother of the original host¡¯s fianc¨¦?? Ha¡­ She was even more disdainful! When Madam Jiang and the others heard how Jiang Qin addressed the girl beside her, their eyes instantly widened. What?! The pretty girl in front of them was actually the Si Fan who wore ugly glasses every day?! Wasn¡¯t the difference too great?! Madam Jiang didn¡¯t want to believe it, but seeing how Si Fan was obviously defending Jiang Qin, she had no choice but to believe it. She frowned. So what if Si Fan was beautiful? She was such a rude and uneducated woman. If her son married her, wouldn¡¯t she torture her mother-in-law to death?! Most importantly, she did not want her son to marry a useless woman! No matter how beautiful she was, she was just a vase without any real talent. She was not even as outstanding as Si Ya¡¯s finger! Madam Jiang thought about it and started to despise Si Fan again. ¡°Si Fan, you don¡¯t even know me and you still want to be my daughter-in-law?! I think you¡¯re daydreaming and fantasizing!¡± When Jiang Qin heard Madam Jiang belittling Si Fan, no matter how weak she was, she had to be tough for Si Fan. As a mother, she was tough. It didn¡¯t matter how Madam Jiang belittled her, but she couldn¡¯t belittle her daughter! She retorted firmly, ¡°Madam Jiang, what¡¯s wrong with my daughter? She didn¡¯t even despise your son for being a playboy. How can you have the cheek to despise my daughter?¡± Madam Jiang was furious. Jiang Qin actually had the cheek to argue with her?! Look at her status! ¡°So what if my son is a playboy? He¡¯s still thousands of times more noble than your daughter. Do you really think that your daughter is the real daughter of the Si Family just because you married into the Si Family?! Bullsh*t, she¡¯s just a burden that you brought into the Si Family! A burden that doesn¡¯t even have a biological father!¡± ¡°And you, do you think you¡¯re noble just because you married into the Si Family? You¡¯re a twice-married woman who was abandoned by a man. He even left a son and a daughter for you to raise. If President Si hadn¡¯t been kind enough to marry you and take you in, you wouldn¡¯t even know where to beg for a living!¡± ¡°Y-you!¡± Jiang Qin blushed. Madam Jiang¡¯s words revealed the scar that Jiang Qin had hidden in her heart. Jiang Qin had once married a man. That man was a taxi driver and his salary was not very stable. His average salary was about 7,000 to 8,000 yuan a month. Jiang Qin also had her own job, which was about 5,000 yuan a month. Their monthly salary added up to more than 10,000 yuan. Other than the various living expenses, there was not much they could save every month. At that time, they still had to save money to buy a car and a house. Their life was quite tough. Although their days were tough, they were fulfilling. However, this fulfilling life was completely shattered when Si Yi was diagnosed with congenital heart disease when he was five years old. When the man found out that Si Yi¡¯s illness would cost an astronomical amount of medical fees, he abandoned her and her two children and disappeared from her world without a word. She and the two children searched for him for a long time but they could not find him. Later on, she could only give up looking for him and work hard to borrow money and earn money because Si Yi¡¯s heart disease gradually worsened and he needed to be hospitalized. She lived in darkness every day. In the end, she had no choice but to borrow money from loan sharks. In the end, she agreed to donate her kidney to Si Ya before Si Mingyuan agreed to help her repay the loan sharks. She overheard Si Mingyuan¡¯s conversation with the doctor in the past. He said that even after Si Ya¡¯s surgery was successful, her uremia might relapse. If it did, she might need another kidney. The only suitable kidney source was her. That was why Si Mingyuan married her. On the surface, he said that he wanted her to live the life of a well-to-do Mrs. Si, but in reality, it was just to tie her up tightly and prevent her, a walking kidney source, from leaving. However, she had no choice but to agree to Si Mingyuan at that time. She signed a prenuptial agreement and became his wife. Outsiders thought that Si Mingyuan had helped her family and was their benefactor. Little did they know that Si Mingyuan only treated her as a vessel. If Si Ya¡¯s uremia relapsed, Si Mingyuan would definitely ask her to donate her kidney to Si Ya without hesitation! Jiang Qin recalled her terrible experiences and her heart ached uncontrollably. When Madam Jiang saw Jiang Qin¡¯s pale face, she felt inexplicably happy and smiled. ¡°Jiang Qin, if you know what¡¯s good for you, take your daughter to the Jiang family to break off the engagement. You¡¯re not worthy of my Jiang family!¡± As soon as he finished speaking, a gentle voice spoke up. ¡°Who is not worthy of your Jiang family?¡± Madam Jiang was stunned when she heard this. She looked over and saw Murong Xiang slowly walking towards them. Dressed in a simple and elegant white dress, Murong Xiang looked elegant and sophisticated. The meanness on Madam Jiang¡¯s face instantly disappeared and she smiled faintly. ¡°Madam Jun, it¡¯s nothing. I¡¯m just reprimanding a person who wants to be a toad and wants to eat swan meat1.¡± ¡°Oh? Who?¡± Murong Xiang asked, but she couldn¡¯t help but size up Si Fan and Jiang Qin. She had been searching for a long time but did not see Si Fan. So, Si Fan had come over here. Si Fan noticed Murong Xiang¡¯s gaze and recognized her as the woman in the cheongsam she bumped into two days ago. She nodded politely. The smile on Murong Xiang¡¯s face widened. She actually met this young lady again. What did this mean?! This meant that they were fated to be mother-in-law and daughter-in-law! Fate was something that could only be chanced upon by luck. She had to grasp it well. Madam Jiang had no idea what Murong Xiang was thinking. Seeing that Murong Xiang was staring at Si Fan, she said, ¡°It¡¯s the two people you¡¯re looking at. Both mother and daughter are very scheming. Mother hooked up with the Si Family and became Madam Si. Her daughter is even more scheming. She even wants to cling to my Jiang family and be my son¡¯s fianc¨¦e. She doesn¡¯t even consider if she¡¯s worthy!¡± Murong Xiang heard it clearly and was stunned. ¡°What?? Your son¡¯s fianc¨¦e?!¡± Although Madam Jiang didn¡¯t want to admit it, everyone present knew about it. Hence, she nodded reluctantly. After a pause, she couldn¡¯t help but add, ¡°However, I don¡¯t know if she would successfully marry my son in the end.¡± Murong Xiang loved hearing that. ¡°You¡¯re right. After all, no one knows what will happen in the future. Some people are just not fated. There will be no outcome to tie them together.¡± Madam Jiang thought that Murong Xiang agreed with her and couldn¡¯t help but smile. ¡°Madam Jun, thank you for your blessings.¡± Murong Xiang¡¯s smile widened. ¡°Of course, of course. I wish you all the best.¡± Jiang Qin couldn¡¯t take it anymore. ¡°Excuse me, Madam Jiang. My daughter and I are going to pick out some shoes!¡± She grabbed Si Fan¡¯s hand and wanted to leave. Madam Jiang had just got the upper-hand. How could she let Jiang Qin leave so easily? ¡°Stop right there. Did you hear what I said just now? If you know what¡¯s good for you, take your daughter to the Jiang family to break off the engagement!¡± Jiang Qin frowned. If not for Si Mingyuan¡¯s coercion, who would have let their daughter marry such a playboy?? She couldn¡¯t wait for her daughter to get a good boyfriend. It didn¡¯t matter if he was poor. At least they would be compatible. Her daughter would not be easily looked down upon. But before she could say anything, Si Fan said calmly, ¡°Call off the engagement then.¡± Chapter 29 Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Jiang Qin was stunned. Murong Xiang¡¯s eyes lit up. Madam Jiang frowned, not believing that Si Fan would agree so readily. She warned, ¡°Si Fan, let me tell you, don¡¯t go back on your words. If you refuse to do it, I¡¯ll teach you a lesson!¡± Si Fan opened her eyes and smiled disdainfully. ¡°There¡¯s no need for that. After all, your son is really a good-for-nothing.¡± ¡°You!¡± Madam Jiang was so angry that her face turned red. She was about to say something when Murong Xiang stopped her softly. ¡°Madam Jiang, that¡¯s enough. Since the young lady has agreed to break off the engagement, don¡¯t make it so complicated. Isn¡¯t it fine if it succeeds?¡± Madam Jiang glanced at Murong Xiang. For Murong Xiang¡¯s sake, she did not continue to make things difficult for Jiang Qin and her daughter. She snorted. ¡°Remember what you said. I¡¯ll wait for you at the Jiang Family¡¯s residence!¡± Si Fan was too lazy to respond to her and left with Jiang Qin. Jiang Qin frowned and glanced at Si Fan. She wanted to say something but she didn¡¯t in the end. Anyway, Si Mingyuan had already chased Fanfan out of the house. He couldn¡¯t make any decisions about Fanfan¡¯s marriage, right? She hoped that everything would go well. Sigh¡­ Seeing Si Fan and Jiang Qin leave, Madam Jiang asked Murong Xiang nicely, ¡°Madam Jun, have you bought your shoes?¡± ¡°No, I haven¡¯t found a suitable pair yet.¡± Murong Xiang had just said that she wanted to buy shoes because she had an ulterior motive. She wasn¡¯t really buying shoes. However, Madam Jiang misunderstood. ¡°Madam Jun, I told you that shoes from this kind of shoe boutique are not presentable. The materials and quality are extremely poor. How can you buy such shoes?!¡± Murong Xiang smiled and did not respond. After a pause, Murong Xiang asked, ¡°Is that young lady really your son¡¯s fianc¨¦e? Where did she come from?¡± Madam Jiang smiled disdainfully and then revealed all the dirt on Jiang Qin and Si Fan. Jiang Qin was abandoned by a man and hooked up with Si Mingyuan for a second marriage. Si Fan was uncultured and uneducated. She often bullied the Si sisters and was very vicious. Madam Jiang said a lot of bad things about them. Moreover, the few madams beside Madam Jiang kept echoing her words to increase the story¡¯s authenticity. Murong Xiang had a hint of discomfort after hearing them. A woman had been abandoned by a man just after being married for a few years and she raised her two children alone. The saddest thing was that her youngest boy had a heart problem and had to be hospitalized. How could a woman afford such expensive medical fees?! As a woman, she felt that Jiang Qin was very noble. She was not like Madam Jiang who would do anything to get to the top. Moreover, we all have our burdens to bear, every family has its hardships. It was not convenient to comment when one did not know the truth. Madam Jiang and the others only knew certain people or things. They were too one-sided. Based on their words, she could not conclude that the beautiful girl was the kind of person they were talking about. Moreover, she felt that the young lady had an aura and maturity that exceeded her peers. Typically, such people wouldn¡¯t bully the weak. There was probably¡­ some misunderstanding. Madam Jiang¡¯s mouth was dry. After saying that, she said, ¡°Madam Jun, let¡¯s not talk about these two uncouth people. I know a famous shoe boutique nearby. Let¡¯s go shopping together.¡± Murong Xiang looked back at Si Fan and Jiang Qin, who had gone far, and nodded. ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡± The group of them walked out of the shoe boutique. Murong Xiang stopped. ¡°Forget it, I won¡¯t shop anymore. You ladies can continue shopping. I¡¯ll call my son to pick me up.¡± When Madam Jiang and the other madams heard Murong Xiang call her son out to pick her up, their eyes lit up. ¡°Madam Jun, we¡¯re not going shopping anymore. We¡¯ll keep you company here until your son comes!¡± ¡°That¡¯s right, that¡¯s right. Otherwise, it would be so lonely for you to wait alone!¡± Although they didn¡¯t know what the son Murong Xiang mentioned looked like, how knowledgeable, and how talented he was, how bad could the young master of the Jun family, who was raised by a top noble family in the capital, be? He must be noble and extraordinary, high up in the air. Most importantly, the Jun family in Beijing was the number one aristocratic family, the richest family in Asia Continent, and the business overlord of Asia Continent. If their daughters could marry into the Jun family, their family¡¯s value would rise. They would be able to do whatever they wanted and be pursued by everyone. Therefore, how could they let go of such a big fish?? Murong Xiang looked at the suddenly excited Madams and smiled meaningfully. It was not that she did not know their intentions. Normally, she would still like people to introduce a potential partner to her son, but now¡­ Murong Xiang looked back at the shoe boutique and smiled. She had a potential daughter-in-law to examine. She would think about the rest later. Murong Xiang quickly called Jun Yan. ¡°Son, come quickly. I have sprained my ankle. Hurry up and bring me to the hospital for treatment!¡± She hung up without waiting for Jun Yan¡¯s reaction. Of course, she also sent a location to Jun Yan. At that time, Jun Yan was still in the restaurant. He frowned when he received Murong Xiang¡¯s call. Seeing that Jun Yan was still sitting there, Jiang Wang was a little anxious. ¡°Yan, hurry up and fetch Auntie. Auntie is old and it¡¯s not easy to treat a sprained ankle!¡± Jun Yan glanced at Jiang Wang and said coldly, ¡°You believed that?¡± Jiang Wang looked confused. ¡°Why shouldn¡¯t I believe her?¡± Jun Yan didn¡¯t say anything. He stared at the location sent by Murong Xiang. It wasn¡¯t far from here. He stood up expressionlessly and walked out. Jiang Wang wanted to follow him, but he thought better of it. This was because Murong Xiang suspected that he was having a gay relationship with Jun Yan and interrogated him the last time he met her. He was afraid and did not dare to see her. *** On the other hand, Jiang Qin picked out a few pairs of shoes for Si Fan and walked out of the shoe boutique with many bags. She realized that Madam Jiang and the others were still there when she came out. Jiang Qin lowered her head and pretended not to see them. Murong Xiang suddenly said, ¡°Hey, Madam Si, Miss Si, please wait!¡± Jiang Qin was stunned. She looked at Murong Xiang, who was being surrounded by Madam Jiang and the others. The calm and elegant aura on her was something that she could never achieve in her life. There was a noble aura in her bones, but she did not have that overbearing sharpness. Instead, she was gentle and elegant, giving off a friendly feeling. Jiang Qin could not help but sigh. Her world with this Madam was like two parallel lines. No matter how close they were, they could not interact. Otherwise, how could there be such a saying as ¡°as far as heaven from the abyss of the ocean¡±? Madam Jiang was a little unhappy that Murong Xiang stopped Jiang Qin and Si Fan. ¡°Madam Jun, why did you call them?¡± Murong Xiang ignored Madam Jiang and walked straight to Jiang Qin and Si Fan. Her eyes revealed a hint of heartache when she saw the bags in their hands. ¡°Madam Si, Miss Si, my son is coming to pick me up soon. If you don¡¯t mind, how about I get my son to give you a ride back?¡± Chapter 30 Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Jiang Qin quickly declined, ¡°Ah, this¡­ how can I accept this¡­¡± Si Fan replied indifferently, ¡°Sure.¡± Jiang Qin looked at Si Fan in shock. Was this something her daughter could say?! When did her daughter become so impolite to strangers?! Looking at Madam Jiang¡¯s attitude towards the ladies in front of her, Jiang Qin knew that her status was not low. She wasn¡¯t someone they could get in touch with. Jiang Qin immediately tried to salvage the situation. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, Madam Jun. My daughter said something wrong just now. We won¡¯t¡­¡± Murong Xiang interrupted with a smile. ¡°It¡¯s okay, it¡¯s okay. Anyway, it¡¯s just a ride. It¡¯s fate that we met. It¡¯s good for everyone to be friends.¡± ¡°For example, your little girl is about the same age as my son. They can get to know each other.¡± As Murong Xiang spoke, she accidentally exposed the secret thoughts in her heart. Jiang Qin was dumbfounded. ¡°Huh?¡± Si Fan raised her eyebrows. Murong Xiang quickly explained, ¡°Ahem. I¡¯m sorry, I said something wrong. I mean, it¡¯s fine for both parties to be friends since they¡¯re unmarried.¡± Jiang Qin: ¡°¡­¡± Why did it feel so strange to hear that, but she couldn¡¯t figure out what exactly was strange. Si Fan didn¡¯t say anything and only glanced at Murong Xiang indifferently. Madam Jiang was so angry that her mouth was crooked when she heard that Murong Xiang wanted her son to send Jiang Qin and Si Fan, whom they looked down on, home. Was Murong Xiang crazy or stupid?! She actually asked her son to send two lowly women home? What if they played tricks and clung to her son?? They did not understand. Which one of their daughters was not better than Si Fan? Moreover, from what Murong Xiang said, she wanted her son to be friends with Si Fan. This was crazy! Madam Jiang said indignantly, ¡°Madam Jun!¡± Murong Xiang turned around and glanced at Madam Jiang. ¡°What¡¯s wrong, Madam Jiang?¡± Madam Jiang glared at Jiang Qin and Si Fan sternly. ¡°Madam Jun, I advise you not to interact too much with them. You¡¯ll regret it if they extort you!¡± A trace of coldness flashed across Murong Xiang¡¯s eyes, but she smiled faintly. ¡°Thank you for your reminder, Madam Jiang, but there aren¡¯t many people who can extort me. Besides, I saw that the mother and daughter were carrying a lot of things, so I gave them a ride out of kindness. It¡¯s a pleasure to help others, you know.¡± Madam Jiang was furious. Murong Xiang could help anyone but this pair of mother and daughter. She had just said bad things about them, and Murong Xiang was still getting close to them. Wasn¡¯t this a clear slap to her face?! Madam Jiang was about to say something when Murong Xiang suddenly exclaimed in surprise, ¡°Aiya, my son¡¯s car is here. I¡¯ve got to go.¡± ¡°Come, Madam Si, let me help you carry some bags!¡± In order to prevent Jiang Qin and Si Fan from sneaking away, Murong Xiang forcefully snatched one of Jiang Qin¡¯s shopping bags. ¡°Hey, Madam Jun, don¡¯t. Please don¡¯t¡­¡± Jiang Qin wanted to stop her, but she could not. She could only be secretly anxious. Just then, a black Cayenne slowly stopped in a parking space by the road. Everyone looked over. Si Fan looked up. The black Cayenne stopped less than five meters away from her. The car window slowly rolled down. The wind blew in with the light, rustling the black figure in the car. He looked unreal. The man held the steering wheel with one hand. His black gloves clung tightly to his slender hand. One could still see his prominent finger bones. They were thin and strong, beautiful but not exaggerated. Moving upwards was the face half-shrouded in the shadows. His facial features were well-defined and his lines were cold. He was so handsome that it made one¡¯s breathing quicken. He seemed to sense her gaze. He turned his face over and his dark pupils met her cold gaze. He seemed surprised. Then, he saw Murong Xiang beside Si Fan. That trace of surprise instantly disappeared without a trace. It was obvious that he had been tricked by his mother. Jun Yan continued to look at the girl¡¯s clear and exquisite eyes, raising his eyebrows slightly. This world was really small. It was so small that he could bump into someone twice in a day. Si Fan narrowed her eyes. She recognized him as the handsome man whom she had tried to pounce on. Her gaze lingered on him. Tsk, he was quite good-looking. No wonder she lost her mind that day. At the same time, Madam Jiang and the other ladies also saw Jun Yan¡¯s extremely handsome face and covered their hearts, which were beating wildly. This handsome face made their hearts flutter. If she could successfully kidnap him back to be her son-in-law, she would be able to feast her eyes every day with her daughter! Madam Jiang couldn¡¯t help but ask excitedly, ¡°Madam Jun, does your son have a girlfriend?¡± Murong Xiang was overjoyed when she saw Jun Yan staring straight at Si Fan. When she heard Madam Jiang¡¯s words, she said without thinking, ¡°Soon.¡± Madam Jiang¡¯s face froze. What did that mean?! Murong Xiang didn¡¯t care what Madam Jiang was thinking. She turned around and urged Jiang Qin and Si Fan to get into the car enthusiastically. Jiang Qin declined softly. ¡°It¡¯s fine. We stay rather near and don¡¯t need a car.¡± Murong Xiang¡¯s attitude became even friendlier. ¡°Aiya, it¡¯s alright. It¡¯s just a few minutes.¡± After a pause, she turned to Jun Yan and said, ¡°Son, come and help Miss Si carry her things!¡± Si Fan looked up at Jun Yan again. Unsurprisingly, their eyes met again. The man¡¯s deep eyes were indescribably deep, and there was an inexplicable attraction in them. It was as if he could suck her in easily. Si Fan raised her eyebrows nonchalantly and remained silent. The corners of Jun Yan¡¯s lips curled up slightly. His slender fingers gently adjusted the exquisite cufflinks on his wrist. Then, he pushed open the car door, stepped out of the car, and walked towards her at a moderate pace. The closer he got, the clearer his face became in her eyes. His facial features, sharp brows, and deep eye sockets were perfect. In the blink of an eye, his almost 1.9 meters tall body got close to Si Fan, making her look too petite. Jun Yan took advantage of his height and sized up Si Fan. She had an exquisitely beautiful face, and her eyes were wild and arrogant. She was so beautiful that all men were moved by her. It was just that she was too thin, especially her waist that was tightly wrapped in black pants. It was so thin that it would break with a pinch. Si Fan let him size up her and smiled. ¡°Hello, we meet again, Mr. Jun.¡± Her tone was quite cold. It didn¡¯t feel like she was talking to her savior at all. With one hand in his pocket, Jun Yan smiled casually. ¡°Hello, Miss Si.¡± Si Fan wasn¡¯t surprised to hear her address her as Miss Si. It was as if she had guessed that he had already figured out her background. Jiang Qin was shocked. ¡°You know each other?!¡± Chapter 31 Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations ¡°Aiya, Madam Si, this isn¡¯t a good place to talk. Let¡¯s talk in the car!¡± Murong Xiang dragged Jiang Qin into the car and didn¡¯t forget to look back at Jun Yan. Although Jiang Qin was helpless, she still listened to Murong Xiang and got into the car with her. After all, there were many people here. She was too embarrassed to continue rejecting Murong Xiang¡¯s good intentions. Jun Yan stretched out his hand towards Si Fan and smiled. ¡°Miss Si, do you mind if I help you carry your things?¡± Si Fan did not stand on ceremony with him and handed over the shopping bags in his hand. ¡°Thank you.¡± Seeing the shopping bags in his hand, Jun Yan raised an eyebrow. The little girl was really impolite. Si Fan looked up at him with her clear peach blossom eyes and smiled playfully. Then, she walked towards his car first. Jun Yan paused for a moment and followed closely behind her. Murong Xiang had already pulled Jiang Qin into the car¡¯s backseat. Si Fan walked to the back seat and realized that the extra seat was occupied by the shopping bags. Other than the driver¡¯s seat, the only other empty seat was the front passenger seat. Murong Xiang smiled lovingly and said, ¡°Miss Si, there¡¯s no more space for you in the back seat. Go to the front passenger seat. My son¡¯s driving skills are quite good. He won¡¯t get into a car accident. Don¡¯t worry and sit.¡± Jun Yan opened the door of the passenger seat and glanced at Si Fan, signaling her to get in. Si Fan was not pretentious. She bent down and got in. Jun Yan closed the car door and placed the shopping bags in the trunk before returning to the driver¡¯s seat. As soon as he got into the driver¡¯s seat, the man took off his long black coat and placed it in the groove between the driver¡¯s seat and the passenger¡¯s seat. Si Fan supported her head with her hand and happened to catch a glimpse of the man taking off his clothes from the corner of her eye. He was lazy and flirtatious. A charm oozed out from his bones. Although he looked thin in his jacket, after taking off his jacket, his black shirt was pressed tightly against his body, vaguely outlining his well-defined sexy figure. Coupled with the man¡¯s overly good-looking face, Si Fan couldn¡¯t take her eyes off him. Suddenly, he said calmly, ¡°Fasten your seatbelt.¡± ¡°Huh?¡± The queen, who was immersed in his beauty, was unable to recover. Jun Yan looked over and happened to see a trace of confusion in her eyes. Heh, she was quite cute. He smiled faintly and leaned over. His unique masculine scent wafted over, wrapped in a faint minty cold fragrance. Si Fan came back to her senses and narrowed her eyes at the man who took the initiative to approach her. Jun Yan ignored the sharpness in her eyes and continued to move closer to her. His slender hand brushed past her slender waist and reached for the buckle of her seatbelt. Then, he fastened it for her as if nothing had happened. It connected with a click. His hand accidentally touched hers. Their eyes met again. There was a strange atmosphere in the car. Suddenly, a laugh broke their gazes. ¡°Hehehe¡­¡± Si Fan and Jun Yan looked at the backseat at the same time. Murong Xiang hurriedly covered her mouth. ¡°Cough, cough. I¡¯m sorry. I thought of something happy and couldn¡¯t control myself. Continue. Please continue!¡± ¡°¡­¡± Si Fan. ¡°¡­¡± Jun Yan. He retracted his hand as if nothing had happened and stared at her beautiful and aggressive face. The corners of his lips curled up casually. ¡°Miss Si, remember to put on your seatbelt when you get in the car. It¡¯s safer.¡± Si Fan hummed lightly and remained silent. Murong Xiang and Jiang Qin, who were in the backseat, saw their interaction. Murong Xiang was overjoyed. She had a feeling that she was about to become a mother-in-law and hug her great-grandson, enjoying the blissful life of having her children and grandchildren around her knees. However, Jiang Qin did not dare to think too much. She only hoped that her daughter would have simple happiness and not follow in her footsteps. The Cayenne drove away quickly. The neglected ladies were a little indignant. ¡°Madam Jiang, look¡­¡± Madam Jiang looked at the car that had disappeared and couldn¡¯t help but scold angrily, ¡°Look, look, what are you looking at?! Go back!¡± She called the chauffeur and stormed into the car, slamming the door shut. The other Madams were no longer in the mood to shop. They bade each other farewell and left. Madam Jiang was still furious when she returned to the Jiang family. Seeing that the trash can was an eyesore, she kicked it. Jiang Qi walked in from outside and saw the trash can and trash at Madam Jiang¡¯s feet. He had a headache. ¡°Mom, everything was fine. Why did you vent your anger on the trash cans?¡± Madam Jiang turned around and saw Jiang Qi wearing a white shirt. It was wrinkled and there were a few lipstick marks on his neck. She was instantly furious. ¡°You don¡¯t go to university properly every day and fool around everywhere. You still have the cheek to say that I¡¯m fine? What¡¯s so good about me? I¡¯m clearly about to die from anger!¡± When Jiang Qi saw that his mother was angry, he quickly came over to hug her and comfort her. ¡°Aiya, Mom, I was wrong. I don¡¯t want to fool around either. It¡¯s really because there¡¯s someone I don¡¯t want to see in school that I¡¯m unwilling to go back.¡± Madam Jiang looked at Jiang Qi. ¡°Is it because of Si Fan?¡± Jiang Qi nodded. ¡°I don¡¯t want to see her in school and feel embarrassed.¡± Especially when he saw Si Fan wearing a pair of ugly glasses and behaving submissively in front of him, not daring to breathe loudly, he felt annoyed. Si Fan looked like an honest and cowardly person, but she was actually a vicious step-sister. It was said that as soon as they returned home, Si Fan would hit Si Ya and Si Xue with a stick. The two sisters were bullied until they didn¡¯t dare to make a sound and their lives were a turmoil. When this matter was exposed, he wondered how there could be such an annoying, cruel, and vicious woman in this world?! It was true that ugly people had vicious hearts. Anyway, Jiang Qi just didn¡¯t like Si Fan. If Grandma hadn¡¯t insisted on letting him marry Si Fan, he would have broken off the engagement long ago. Why would he put such a shameful label on himself?! Fortunately, he had warned Si Fan not to reveal their relationship and kept it a secret. Otherwise, he would be laughed at by the people in school! Madam Jiang continued, ¡°I bumped into Si Fan and her mother just now. I warned them to come and break off the engagement. Soon, you¡¯ll be able to get rid of her.¡± Jiang Qi¡¯s eyes lit up. ¡°Really?!¡± ¡°Of course. Why would I lie to you?¡± After Madam Jiang finished speaking, she thought of what she had just experienced and gritted her teeth in anger. ¡°However, after Si Fan found out that I didn¡¯t like her and wanted her to break off the engagement, she actually shamelessly hooked up with Madam Jun¡¯s son in front of me. I was so angry!¡± Was a woman like her worthy of Madam Jun¡¯s son?! She had seen shameless people before, but she had never seen someone that shameless! Jiang Qi couldn¡¯t stand still. ¡°What?! She hasn¡¯t broken off the engagement with me yet. We¡¯re still engaged. How dare she seduce another man?!¡± Chapter 32 Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Madam Jiang gritted her teeth. ¡°Of course. She even went off in Young Master Jun¡¯s car in front of me. She must think that since she can¡¯t cling to our Jiang family, she will seamlessly cling to the next family. What a shameless woman!¡± Jiang Qi didn¡¯t look too good. He hadn¡¯t even broken off the engagement with Si Fan and she dared to get into another man¡¯s car. Wasn¡¯t she clearly making a cuckold out of him? If word got out, where would Jiang Qi put his face?! The more Jiang Qi thought about it, the angrier he became. He waved his hand and immediately said, ¡°Mom, cancel the engagement with her immediately. There¡¯s no time to waste!¡± If he had delayed any longer, his head would have been covered in green grass1! This damn Si Fan. If he knew that she dared to make a cuckold out of him, he would kill her! Madam Jiang said comfortingly, ¡°I¡¯ve already asked Jiang Qin and Si Fan to come to the Jiang family to break off the engagement. There¡¯s no hurry.¡± Jiang Qi frowned. ¡°They said that they would take the initiative to break off the engagement. Did they say when they would break off the engagement?¡± Madam Jiang thought about it carefully. ¡°No.¡± Jiang Qi¡¯s expression was extremely ugly. ¡°That¡¯s right. They keep saying that they want to break off the engagement, but who knows when they will come over to break off the engagement? What if they delay it day by day or even until the day of the engagement?¡± Madam Jiang frowned. ¡°You¡¯re right. I was careless. I actually didn¡¯t ask when they would come to break off the engagement. If they didn¡¯t come, wouldn¡¯t I have warned them for nothing?¡± Jiang Qi said, ¡°So, let¡¯s go to the Si Family¡¯s residence first to confirm. If necessary, force them to sign an annulment agreement and break up right away. We won¡¯t have any further contact with each other!¡± Madam Jiang probed, ¡°Shall we go to the Si Family now?¡± Jiang Qi replied, ¡°Yes!¡± ¡°Let¡¯s go. Words are useless. It¡¯s better to sign an agreement!¡± The mother and son discussed and decided to personally go to the Si Family to look for Jiang Qin and Si Fan to sign the agreement. Si Fan wouldn¡¯t be able to go back on her word with the agreement. At that time, they still didn¡¯t know that Jiang Qin and Si Fan had left the Si Family. After all, they couldn¡¯t wash dirty linen in public. Si Mingyuan had kept the news a secret. *** The sun was setting. At this moment, the Emperor Hotel was covered in a layer of golden afterglow. It was as if a golden veil had been draped over it, adding a trace of holy light. The black Cayenne slowly stopped in front of the hotel. Murong Xiang glanced out of the window and looked at Jiang Qin in shock. ¡°You guys are staying in a hotel?¡± Weren¡¯t they driving back to the Si Family¡¯s residence? Jiang Qin did not know how to explain. She could only agree and smile awkwardly at Murong Xiang. This was the reason why she didn¡¯t want Murong Xiang to send her back earlier. After all, in the eyes of outsiders, she was still Madam Si. How could she let others know that she was staying in a hotel? It was mainly because she did not want others to know and gossip behind her back. Things were getting out of hand. Murong Xiang seemed to have realized something and stopped asking. She changed the topic with a smile. ¡°Well, Madam Si, a stranger is just a friend you haven¡¯t met yet. We¡¯ve been in the same car before, so we¡¯re not strangers. Do you want to add our contact details?¡± ¡°Huh?¡± Jiang Qin was a little confused. Wasn¡¯t it just a simple matter? Wasn¡¯t she just being kind enough to bring them back? Why did she suddenly ask for her contact information? Murong Xiang looked at Jiang Qin¡¯s reaction and was a little disappointed. ¡°Why? Is it inconvenient?¡± Jiang Qin couldn¡¯t take it anymore and nodded. ¡°Yes, of course, it¡¯s convenient.¡± She thought to herself that even if she told Madam Jun her contact information, the other party might not really contact her. It was just a contact number. It wasn¡¯t something shameful, so she just gave it to her. Just like that, the two of them exchanged contact information. Just as Murong Xiang and Jiang Qin exchanged contact information, Jun Yan¡¯s mysterious and deep gaze was fixed on Si Fan. Si Fan¡¯s beautiful and slender hand brushed past the fastener of the seatbelt and it opened with a click. Then, she glanced at Jun Yan and asked lazily, ¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡± Jun Yan stared at her for a few seconds. Before he could react, he received Murong Xiang¡¯s sharp gaze. Murong Xiang even secretly poked his thigh with the tip of her high heels. She was extremely anxious. Son, hurry up and react. I¡¯ve already demonstrated it to you. Aren¡¯t you going to imitate me?! Don¡¯t be so stupid as to let the opportunity slip away!!! Seemingly unable to withstand Murong Xiang¡¯s threatening gaze, Jun Yan took out a business card from his pocket and slowly handed it to Si Fan. ¡°Miss Si, my contact information.¡± ¡°¡­¡± Si Fan. Murong Xiang was afraid that Si Fan wouldn¡¯t accept it, so she quickly snatched the name card from Jun Yan¡¯s hands and stuffed it into Si Fan¡¯s hands. She smiled and said, ¡°Aiya, girl, just take it. My son likes to help people. If you need any help, you can call my son. He will definitely help you if he can!¡± The ¡®helpful¡¯ Jun Yan smiled faintly, as if he had tacitly agreed with his mother. Jiang Qin widened her eyes, not daring to agree. ¡°Ah, this¡­ Madam Jun, how can we accept this?¡± Murong Xiang: ¡°There¡¯s nothing to be embarrassed about. Just treat it as making friends.¡± Then, she smiled at Si Fan. ¡°Right, my girl?¡± Si Fan picked up the business card and played with it. She glanced at Jun Yan lazily and hummed nonchalantly. Jun Yan looked at her brazenly, his dark eyes darkening. Murong Xiang smiled again when she saw Si Fan accept the business card. She even patted Jiang Qin¡¯s shoulder very kindly. ¡°Madam Si, as mothers, we shouldn¡¯t interfere in the affairs of young people. Everyone has the right and freedom to make friends.¡± ¡°But¡­¡± Jiang Qin was troubled. Their identities did not match. Could they really be friends? ¡°No buts. Which floor are you staying on? Do you want my son to help you carry your luggage up?¡± When Jiang Qin heard that, she hurriedly waved her hands. ¡°No need. We¡¯re very grateful that you¡¯re kind enough to give us a ride. We can¡¯t trouble you anymore. There¡¯s not much to carry anyway!¡± Murong Xiang didn¡¯t want to appear too enthusiastic. She would look like she was up to no good if she was too enthusiastic. After all, she clearly knew that some things were better done step by step. More haste less speed. It simply could not be rushed. She nodded. ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll ask you out to shop if you have time.¡± Jiang Qin didn¡¯t dare to agree. She thanked Murong Xiang again, carried the bags, pushed open the car door, and walked out. Si Fan also opened the car door and walked out to meet up with Jiang Qin. The next moment, she heard the car door open. She turned around and saw Jun Yan¡¯s tall figure walking out of the car. He walked to the trunk and took out a few shopping bags. With one hand in his pocket and the other holding the shopping bags, he walked towards Si Fan and Jiang Qin unhurriedly. His gaze landed on Si Fan¡¯s cold and beautiful eyes. The corners of his lips curled up casually and his voice was low and attractive. ¡°I¡¯m used to¡­ helping people all the way.¡± Chapter 33 Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Jiang Qin instantly looked at Si Fan. Si Fan¡¯s bright eyes met Jun Yan¡¯s gaze and the corners of her lips curled up slightly. She didn¡¯t know what politeness was. ¡°Sorry to trouble you.¡± Jun Yan¡¯s voice was low and magnetic. ¡°It¡¯s no trouble at all.¡± Jiang Qin looked back and forth between the two of them. No matter how stupid she was, she could sense that something was wrong. After all, this Young Master Jun was staring at her daughter. Could it be that¡­ he had taken a fancy to her daughter¡¯s beauty? Jiang Qin was suspicious and decided to observe if the man in front of her had such thoughts, so she did not refute her daughter¡¯s words. Just like that, Jun Yan personally sent Si Fan and Jiang Qin into the hotel. While the hotel manager was patrolling, he saw Jun Yan carrying a few shopping bags in one hand and sending a familiar mother and daughter into the elevator. His eyes widened instantly. Oh my god, wasn¡¯t that the mother and daughter that Boss asked him to take special care of yesterday? The boss actually¡­ lowered himself to carry their shopping bags?! Could it be that the mother and daughter were some big shots that they could not afford to offend?! The hotel manager heaved a sigh of relief and secretly wiped his cold sweat. Fortunately, he acted quickly yesterday and did not offend anyone. Otherwise, he would not know how to get out of it. Ding! The elevator door on the top floor opened. Jiang Qin and Si Fan walked out first. Neither of them was carrying anything. Jun Yan followed behind, carrying more than ten bags in his right hand. Jiang Qin looked at Jun Yan in embarrassment. ¡°Young Master Jun, it¡¯s been hard on you. Come in for a glass of water before you leave.¡± Jun Yan had insisted on carrying the bags for her earlier. She really couldn¡¯t resist the charm of this handsome man and gave the bags to him in a daze. Even she despised herself for being charmed by a young man. It was really¡­ awkward to the point that her toes scrunched. Jun Yan didn¡¯t stand on ceremony. ¡°Okay.¡± So straightforward?! Jiang Qin was stunned. Si Fan took out her room card and opened the door. She leaned against the door lazily and looked up at Jiang Qin and Jun Yan. Jiang Qin came back to her senses and quickly gestured for Jun Yan to enter. ¡°Please.¡± Jun Yan said, ¡°Ladies first. Auntie, please.¡± Jiang Qin looked at the gentlemanly and polite man and sighed in her heart. This was a child raised by a big family. The bearing he exuded was extraordinary. It made people unable to pick out any problems with him. Jiang Qin stopped caring who entered first and went in first. After entering, she instructed Si Fan, ¡°Fanfan, go pour a glass of water for Young Master Jun.¡± She had kindly helped them carry their things up. No matter what, she had to give him a sip of water to express her gratitude. Si Fan frowned.She was the God of War and Queen. She was full of pride. When did she ever serve tea to anyone? Si Fan glanced at Jun Yan and immediately said, ¡°The kettle and cup are on the coffee table. Pour it yourself.¡± Jun Yan had just walked in. Hearing that, he looked at her with a deep gaze. When Jiang Qin heard this, she hurriedly turned around and reprimanded Si Fan, ¡°Fanfan, how can you let a guest pour water for himself?! Hurry up and pour a glass of water for Young Master Jun.¡± Si Fan didn¡¯t move. Instead, she stared straight at Jun Yan. Her eyes were cold and her face was expressionless. It was obvious that the little girl was in a bad mood and could show him her sharp claws at any time. Jun Yan smiled and retracted his gaze. He said to Jiang Qin, ¡°I¡¯ll pour it myself.¡± Jiang Qin: ¡°Ah, this¡­¡± How could she let him do that? Without waiting for Jiang Qin to finish speaking, Jun Yan walked to the sofa and put down the shopping bag. He took the initiative to pick up the kettle and the disinfected cup on the table. He poured himself a glass of water and took a sip. Then, he put it down as if he had completed a mission. This made Jiang Qin even more embarrassed. She was also very anxious in her heart, afraid that she would offend him. ¡°Young Master Jun, thank you so much for just now. J-just don¡¯t bother with my daughter. She has been a little unruly recently.¡± Jun Yan glanced at Si Fan and said calmly, ¡°It¡¯s fine. I don¡¯t dare to argue with her.¡± What if he angered the little wild cat? She was hard to coax. Jiang Qin said, ¡°Huh?!¡± Si Fan crossed her arms and glanced at Jun Yan lazily. Her beautiful peach blossom eyes were filled with obvious arrogance and warning. ¡°Aren¡¯t you leaving?¡± Jun Yan chuckled. Alright, if he didn¡¯t leave now, the little wild cat was going to be rude to him. ¡°Goodbye, Miss Si.¡± ¡°Goodbye, Madam Si.¡± He bid farewell politely and stared at Si Fan¡¯s beautiful face for a few seconds before leaving. Si Fan frowned and thought about it. Then, she turned around and caught up with the man who had already reached the door. ¡°Wait.¡± Jun Yan turned around and raised an eyebrow. ¡°Yes?¡± Si Fan said, ¡°Thank you.¡± Jun Yan looked at her calmly. ¡°Miss Si, what do you want to thank me for?¡± Si Fan smiled. ¡°Thank you for not minding the last time I pounced on you.¡± She spoke bluntly without the shyness and shame that a woman should have. It was as if it was just a simple statement. Jun Yan looked at her silently. Si Fan met his gaze and paused. Before the man could reply, she shrugged and continued, ¡°But you knocked me out and I didn¡¯t succeed. In addition, I¡¯ve already thanked you. We¡¯re even now.¡± Well, in other words, they no longer owed each other anything. Jun Yan looked down at her and understood what she meant. A meaningful look flashed across his eyes. ¡°At that time, I was shocked.¡± He made it sound like it was true. It meant that there was no way that they were even ¡°¡­¡± Si Fan. She stared at him silently for nearly three seconds, then took a step back and grabbed the door with her fair hand. ¡°Leave. Take care. I won¡¯t send you off.¡± Then, she closed the door without hesitation and cut off their gaze. Jun Yan couldn¡¯t help but smile. There was an inexplicable meaning in his smile. After Si Fan closed the door, she turned around and furrowed her brows in frustration. One false step brings everlasting grief. I really shouldn¡¯t have been blinded by beauty back then. She hoped that she did not get into big trouble. At this moment, Jiang Qin walked over and looked at her in confusion. ¡°Fanfan, do you know this Young Master Jun?¡± Si Fan answered simply, ¡°We met once.¡± Jiang Qin stared at Si Fan and asked softly, ¡°Then¡­ is he interested in you?¡± Si Fan looked at Jiang Qin and asked, ¡°What do you think?¡± ¡°¡­¡± Jiang Qin. How would she know! It just felt weird.m She was inexplicably brought into the car by the enthusiastic Madam Jun and they inexplicably exchanged contact details. In the end, Young Master Jun sent them upstairs for no reason. It was so baffling! She was dumbfounded. Jiang Qin was stunned for a while before she started to hypnotize herself. ¡°Perhaps he¡¯s just being kind. Fanfan, don¡¯t think too much about it. You think that he¡¯ll like you. After all, the young master of a rich family has all kinds of women around him. He won¡¯t like someone of our status. Don¡¯t be too delusional. I¡¯m afraid you¡¯ll get hurt.¡± ¡°¡­¡± Si Fan. Chapter 34 Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Jiang Qin saw that Si Fan didn¡¯t say anything and thought that she had agreed with her. She felt slightly relieved. After a pause, she asked, ¡°Fanfan, are you really going to the Jiang family to break off the engagement?¡± After all, breaking off the engagement with the Jiang family involved a huge matter between the two families. She remembered that Old Madam Jiang quite liked Fanfan. That was why Fanfan got the chance to get engaged to Jiang Qi. It was supposed to be a good thing. However, Jiang Qi was not a good man. He fooled around every day and did not study. He wasn¡¯t doing very well. If Fanfan married him, she might be left alone in her room every day and suffer. To be honest, she supported Fanfan¡¯s decision. But¡­ Si Mingyuan, that selfish and egoistic man, would never agree. So she had her concerns! Si Fan smirked nonchalantly. ¡°Of course. I have left the Si Family now. This has nothing to do with Si Mingyuan. He can¡¯t control me.¡± Moreover, Si Mingyuan couldn¡¯t do anything to her even if she hadn¡¯t left the Si Family. Unless¡­ he didn¡¯t want to live anymore! Jiang Qin sighed. ¡°Fanfan, you¡¯re thinking too simply. Even if you leave the Si Family, it¡¯s still too easy for Si Mingyuan to deal with you.¡± Si Fan lowered her eyes and moved her fingers. Her voice was low and cold, filled with a faint hostility. ¡°Then let him do it!¡± She was afraid that he wouldn¡¯t dare to come! Her fist was itchy! Jiang Qin looked at the girl in front of her, who seemed to be possessed by a demon and was shrouded in a murderous aura. She was stunned. Was this¡­ really her daughter? Si Fan looked up and saw Jiang Qin¡¯s stunned expression. The hostility in her eyes instantly disappeared. She smiled and walked over. She patted Jiang Qin¡¯s shoulder and smiled evilly. ¡°Ms. Jiang, listen to me. If his hand dares to reach over, you¡¯ll chop it off. I¡¯ll be ruthless. Don¡¯t stand on ceremony with him, understand?¡± Jiang Qin looked at Si Fan in a daze. For some reason, her heart turned cold. S-so scary¡­ Seeing Jiang Qin¡¯s pale face, Si Fan shrugged and stopped teasing her. ¡°I was just joking. Did you actually believe me?¡± Jiang Qin heaved a sigh of relief. She reprimanded in a low voice, ¡°Fanfan, don¡¯t make such jokes again. It¡¯s too scary. You¡¯re scaring Mom to death!¡± ¡°Yeah.¡± Si Fan hummed softly and walked back to her room. She walked lazily as if she was really just joking. Hearing the door close, Jiang Qin clutched her chest with lingering fears. Her heart was beating really fast just now. She almost thought that her daughter had been possessed by a demon. *** Murong Xiang waited in the car for more than 10 minutes. Just as she was feeling unbearably lonely, she finally saw her son walk out of the hotel. His height was almost 1.9 meters, and his figure was even more perfect than a model¡¯s. His aura was strong and cold, almost 280 meters. She couldn¡¯t ignore it even if she wanted to. She hurriedly rolled down the window and told Jun Yan to get into the car. Jun Yan glanced at the slightly agitated Murong Xiang and walked straight to the black Cayenne. He walked around the front of the car, opened the driver¡¯s door, and got in. Murong Xiang immediately interrogated, ¡°You brat. You still dare to lie to me and say that you don¡¯t have any feelings for that girl. You helped the young lady put on her seatbelt and even personally sent her upstairs. Is this what you mean by not having any feelings for her?¡± Jun Yan¡¯s expression did not change. ¡°I love to help others.¡± Murong Xiang gave a fake smile. ¡°That¡¯s right. If I hadn¡¯t seen you take off your clothes in front of that young lady and seduce her, I would have believed you!¡± ¡°¡­¡± Jun Yan. Murong Xiang smiled faintly. ¡°My good son, we have to get her. I like her very much!¡± She felt that the young lady was extraordinary and would definitely have a bright future when she first saw her. She had always been a good judge of character. Jun Yan didn¡¯t say anything. His dark eyes were mysterious and deep. A moment later, he grabbed the steering wheel with one hand and stepped on the accelerator. The car sped away. *** On the other hand, Jiang Qi and Madam Jiang arrived at the Si Family. The servants of the Si family greeted them. Coincidentally, Si Mingyuan had just gotten off work. When he heard that Jiang Qi and Madam Jiang had arrived, he immediately asked the servants to prepare tea. Si Mingyuan smiled politely and asked, ¡°Madam Jiang, Young Master Jiang, what brings you here?¡± Si Mingyuan usually maintained his image very well in front of outsiders. He seemed to love his wife, his family, and had a successful career. He even selflessly raised the two burdens that Jiang Qin brought into the Si family. Which ordinary man would be willing to raise two children who were not related to him by blood? Only Si Mingyuan didn¡¯t care and treated the two burdens very well. One could afford to attend a prestigious university, while the other could afford to be hospitalized. He was the role model of a good husband and father in the industry. Madam Jiang often thought to herself that Jiang Qin was an abandoned woman who had remarried. Not only was she useless, but she also brought two useless people with her. What right did she have to become the Madam of the Si family? It was unknown how much luck she had to be so lucky! Madam Jiang muttered to herself for a while before asking Si Mingyuan, ¡°President Si, where¡¯s your wife?¡± Si Mingyuan¡¯s smiling face stiffened when he heard that. How would he know where Jiang Qin went? Ever since she left home with Si Fan, that b*tch, he had not paid any attention to them. He did not know or ask where they went. Anyway, he had already given Jiang Qin three days. Three days later, Jiang Qin would abandon Si Fan and come home obediently. She would continue to listen to him and work hard for the Si Family. As for how she would make arrangements for Si Fan, that b*tch, it was not his concern. Si Mingyuan thought for a moment and said, ¡°My wife isn¡¯t at home now. Madam Jiang, why are you looking for her? You can tell me. I can tell her on your behalf.¡± ¡°I can talk to you too. After all, you¡¯re the head of the family!¡± After Madam Jiang finished speaking, she continued, ¡°When I was shopping earlier, I saw your wife and your eldest daughter shopping at the shoe boutique together. They deliberately had a conflict with me. Your eldest daughter even took the initiative to break off the engagement with my son. Now, I¡¯ve brought my son over to sign the agreement with her!¡± ¡°What?!¡± Si Mingyuan¡¯s expression changed. ¡°How is that possible?¡± Madam Jiang sneered. ¡°Why not? I wasn¡¯t the only one who heard Si Fan¡¯s words. A few other ladies around me heard it too. If you don¡¯t believe me, I can call them to come over and testify for me!¡± Jiang Qi nodded. ¡°That¡¯s right. And the most shameful thing is that Si Fan actually got into another man¡¯s car in front of my mother. How am I going to live with that in the future?!¡± He didn¡¯t say whose car did Si Fan get in. Anyway, she had betrayed him, so she must have hooked up with someone else¡¯s man. Si Mingyuan was instantly infuriated when he heard that. That d*mn b*tch. He had only chased her out for two days and she had caused such a huge trouble for him. Not only did she want to break off the engagement with the Jiang family behind his back, she even got into another man¡¯s car! She was clearly destroying the Si Family on purpose! She wasn¡¯t going to let him have an easy time! How heartless! To think that he had raised her for 10 years. All the money spent in these 10 years had been fed to the dogs! Chapter 35 Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations ¡°Madam Jiang, Young Master Jiang, I don¡¯t know the situation yet. Let me ask my wife first.¡± To be honest, Si Mingyuan didn¡¯t want to give up on the marriage alliance with the Jiang family. The Jiang Family was the number one wealthy family in Xiang City. It was many times better than the Si Family, which couldn¡¯t squeeze into the top four wealthy families. If he could become closer to the Jiang family, he could also get some benefits from the Jiang family. For example, if the Si Family¡¯s value rose, or if he could obtain the Jiang Family¡¯s help in business, some small families that curry favor with the Si family would also give him some small favors. All these years, Si Mingyuan had tasted a lot of benefits thanks to this betrothal. Hence, he didn¡¯t want to cut ties with the Jiang family at all. In fact, he wanted to make their relationship even closer. It would not have been Si Fan¡¯s turn if not for Jiang Qi¡¯s bad reputation and his two daughters would not be willing to marry Jiang Qi. He had raised Si Fan for so many years and spent a lot of money on her. It wasn¡¯t too much to ask her to marry Jiang Qi in the name of the Si Family, right? Not only that, but he had also paved the way for her to live a carefree life. What was there to be dissatisfied about?! She should be grateful to him and even work hard for him! Madam Jiang refused to give up. ¡°I don¡¯t care. Anyway, that¡¯s what Si Fan said. Since she said that she wants to break off the engagement with my son, she has to do it. Call Jiang Qin and her daughter back immediately and sign this agreement. Otherwise, I¡¯ll sit here and not leave!¡± Jiang Qi added, ¡°If this matter doesn¡¯t come to an end, I¡¯ll stay here with my mother until it does!¡± Si Mingyuan had a headache and was about to call Jiang Qin to ask what was going on. Si Xue and Si Ya entered the house together. Madam Jiang¡¯s eyes lit up when she saw the demure Si Xue. She liked Si Xue very much. She was a typical talented girl. She was once ranked in the top five in the entire province for the national college entrance examination. She was accepted by S University and studied economics. She heard that she had even won a national scholarship. She was especially impressive. Other than being a beautiful star student, she was also outstanding in other aspects. For example, she was proficient in piano, tea, flower arranging, and so on. Wasn¡¯t such an outstanding and capable girl thousands of times better than that trash Si Fan?! Her son should be with such an outstanding girl! Jiang Qi¡¯s gaze also landed on Si Xue and Si Ya. They were indeed sisters. They were both very beautiful and looked quite pure. They were his type. Si Xue and Si Ya¡¯s expressions changed when they saw Madam Jiang and Jiang Qi. They did not know what had brought the two of them here today. Madam Jiang¡¯s tone was gentle. ¡°Little Xue, Little Ya, you¡¯re back from school?¡± Si Ya nodded and called out to Madam Jiang with an unnatural expression. On the other hand, Si Xue¡¯s expression was relaxed and she quickly regained her elegant and obedient look. She nodded. ¡°Yes, Auntie Jiang.¡± Without Jiang Qin and Si Fan at home, she naturally came back immediately to take a look at the situation and enjoy her home with no outsiders. However, she did not expect to see Madam Jiang and her disgusting son the moment she returned. How unlucky! Although Si Xue was extremely displeased, she did not show it. She asked again, ¡°Auntie, did you come to the Si Family for something urgent?¡± Madam Jiang answered truthfully, ¡°I brought my son here to break off the engagement with Si Fan.¡± Si Xue¡¯s heart tightened and she pretended to be surprised. ¡°Huh? Why?¡± Madam Jiang answered without hesitation, ¡°Why else would Si Fan be worthy of my son?!¡± Si Xue resisted the urge to roll her eyes when she heard that and continued, ¡°But if you decide to break off the engagement with my Big Sister, she won¡¯t be able to take that blow and will seek death!¡± Madam Jiang said, ¡°We don¡¯t care. If she wants to die, let her die. Anyway, she¡¯s not a member of the Si family and has evil intentions. She only knows how to bully you sisters every day. You don¡¯t have to care if she¡¯s dead or alive!¡± Si Xue bit her lip, feeling indignant. ¡°But¡­¡± Madam Jiang didn¡¯t have much patience. ¡°No buts. The situation you mentioned just now wasn¡¯t an issue at all. It was Si Fan who took the initiative to break off the engagement. We¡¯re here now to wait for her to come back and sign the agreement!¡± Jiang Qi continued Madam Jiang¡¯s words. ¡°Little Xue, I¡¯ll propose to you after Si Fan and I dissolve our marriage. This marriage was originally between you and me. If Si Fan hadn¡¯t shamelessly interfered, we would have been engaged long ago!¡± That was because when he broke off his marriage with Si Xue, the Si Family insisted that it was Si Fan who cried, threw a tantrum, and insisted on getting engaged to Jiang Qi. In order to fulfill Si Fan¡¯s wish, Si Xue decided to give up the marriage to Si Fan. Therefore, in Jiang Qi¡¯s heart, Si Xue¡­ was deeply in love with him! When Si Xue heard that, her face turned extremely pale. She didn¡¯t want to get engaged to a disgusting playboy like Jiang Qi! She would rather die than do that! Was this disgusting thing worthy of her, who was high up in the air and brimming with talent? He was not even fit to carry her shoes! ¡°No, I can¡¯t deprive Big Sister of her happiness. Although Big Sister says that she wants to break off the engagement, she¡¯s actually unwilling in her heart. I know Big Sister. She says that she wants to break off the engagement, but she doesn¡¯t want to at all!¡± Madam Jiang frowned. ¡°If you don¡¯t believe me, call her and ask her to come back quickly. Anyway, we¡¯re definitely breaking off this marriage today!¡± Si Xue frowned and instinctively glanced at Si Mingyuan. Si Mingyuan also looked at Si Xue, his brows revealing his frustration. This damn Si Fan was really good at causing trouble! It seemed like he had to call her back and ¡®educate¡¯ her properly! Si Mingyuan said to Madam Jiang, ¡°Madam Jiang, wait a moment. I¡¯ll call her.¡± ¡°Hurry up!¡± Madam Jiang urged. Then, she pulled Jiang Qi and sat on the sofa openly, looking like she would not stop until she achieved her goal. Si Mingyuan gritted his teeth and turned to call Si Fan. However, the call ended a few seconds later. Si Mingyuan widened his eyes in disbelief. Si Fan actually dared to hang up on him?! How dare she?! Si Mingyuan refused to believe it and called again. However, he was hung up every time he called. Finally, the other party finally picked up on the fourth call. ¡°Go away!¡± A cold and vicious voice was heard, accompanied by deep frustration. With just one word, he knew that the owner of the voice had run out of patience. Si Mingyuan¡¯s expression changed. In the next moment, his expression darkened and an uncontrollable anger rose in his chest. He opened his mouth and was about to say something when the other party hung up. Before Si Mingyuan¡¯s anger could explode, it was cruelly stuck in his throat. He almost suffocated to death. His face flushed red as he made another call. But this time, he could no longer get through because his number had been blocked! Si Mingyuan was so angry that he almost smashed his cell phone! Chapter 36 Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Si Mingyuan could not help but roar in his heart. Si Fan, how dare you block my number! You have guts!!! Si Xue saw that Si Mingyuan¡¯s expression wasn¡¯t right and couldn¡¯t help but ask in a low voice, ¡°Dad, what¡¯s wrong? You can¡¯t get through?¡± Si Mingyuan gritted his teeth. ¡°That little b*tch blocked my number!¡± A trace of coldness flashed past Si Xue¡¯s eyes. ¡°Then call Auntie Jiang.¡± She was not afraid that Jiang Qin would not bring Si Fan back after they threatened her. When Si Mingyuan heard that, he immediately clicked on the contact list, found Jiang Qin¡¯s phone number, and called her. At this moment, Jiang Qin was sitting on the sofa, sorting out the spoils of war she had just bought and calculating how much she had spent. These clothes and shoes added up to 70,000 to 80,000 yuan. In the past, 70,000 to 80,000 yuan was enough to cover her living expenses for a year. However, ever since she married into the Si Family, she had been spending extravagantly for the sake of the Si Family¡¯s reputation. Si Mingyuan was a man who cared a lot about his reputation. In the past, most of the clothes she wore were from street stalls and only cost dozens of yuan each. After she married Si Mingyuan, those clothes were thrown into the trash can. To put it bluntly, they were especially shabby. Those who didn¡¯t know better would think that he was abusing her. Therefore, she didn¡¯t dare to buy clothes that were too cheap. Usually, she would buy clothes that cost more than 10,000 yuan. This habit could not be changed for a while, so she had only bought a few sets of clothes today and spent 40,000 to 50,000 yuan. Together with the shoes¡­ Jiang Qin checked her account balance and saw that there was still more than 50,000 yuan. She could not help but sigh. She would leave the rest of the money to Si Fan. Now that Si Fan had just entered university, she needed money. She especially needed more money for her acting major! Jiang Qin thought for a while and decided to secretly put her card into Si Fan¡¯s new shoes. This way, Fanfan would discover the card when she put on new shoes. Jiang Qin had just stuffed the card in when her phone rang. She looked down at her cell phone. It was Si Mingyuan. Her eyes flashed. She didn¡¯t know why Si Mingyuan called her so quickly. Didn¡¯t he say that he would give her three days to consider?! She was puzzled and quickly answered the call. Before she could ask, Si Mingyuan¡¯s voice came impatiently. ¡°Jiang Qin, where are you and Si Fan now?!¡± Jiang Qin frowned. ¡°Why are you asking so many questions?¡± Si Mingyuan was still infuriated. He said angrily, ¡°You still have the cheek to say that?! Let me ask you now, why did Madam Jiang say that Si Fan is breaking off the engagement with her son?!¡± Jiang Qin was a little stunned. ¡°You know about that?¡± Si Mingyuan lowered his voice. ¡°Cut the crap. She¡¯s already here. I don¡¯t care. Bring Si Fan back immediately and apologize to Madam Jiang and her son to get their forgiveness. In short, you¡¯re not allowed to break off this marriage without my permission!¡± Jiang Qin gritted her teeth. ¡°But you¡¯ve already chased Si Fan out of the Si Family. Since you¡¯ve chased her out, the marriage between the Si Family and the Jiang Family has nothing to do with her, right? Why can¡¯t she break it off?¡± Si Mingyuan snorted coldly. ¡°So what if she¡¯s chased out of the house?! Outsiders don¡¯t know that I chased Si Fan out of the house. As long as we don¡¯t say anything, who knows that Si Fan has nothing to do with the Si Family?!¡± ¡°Besides, I¡¯ve spent so much money on her. It¡¯s not too much to ask her to repay me now, is it?¡± Jiang Qin clutched her chest and was furious. ¡°You! Si Mingyuan, you promised me that you would raise my child for free. Now, you¡¯re going back on your word and asking her to repay you. Then can I go back on my word and take back the kidney in Si Ya¡¯s body?!¡± ¡°How dare you!!!¡± ¡°Put yourself in my shoes, Si Mingyuan. I¡¯ve already compromised enough after so many years. My daughter is already lowly enough in the Si Family. If you have a conscience, don¡¯t bother about her anymore. Anyway, I can do whatever you want with me in the future. I won¡¯t complain even if I have to donate another kidney and risk my life to save Si Ya!¡± Si Mingyuan¡¯s expression did not change at all. ¡°That¡¯s a separate matter. Si Fan marrying into the Jiang family is a blessing that she won¡¯t be able to accumulate in a few lifetimes. If you want her to break off the engagement now, how will she be able to get married in the future?! Even beggars despise a piece of trash like her who doesn¡¯t even know how to read!¡± Jiang Qin trembled in anger. Just as she was about to faint from anger, a fair hand reached over and snatched the phone from her hand. Si Fan picked up the phone and tapped on the loudspeaker with her beautiful index finger. She opened her palm and aimed the phone screen at her red lips. There was a hint of disdain in her nonchalant tone. She was arrogant and proud. ¡°Since you think marrying into the Jiang family is a blessing, I¡¯ll give this blessing to your two daughters. I gave it to you guys out of pity. You¡¯re welcome!¡± ¡°Si Fan, you¡­¡± Si Mingyuan was exasperated and wanted to say something. But Si Fan hung up the call gently, cutting him off completely. Of course, in order to prevent Si Mingyuan from calling and harassing her again, she even blocked his number and pressed the ¡°delete¡± button. Blacklisting him and deleting his number all at once was indeed extremely domineering! After doing all that, she returned the phone to Jiang Qin. The girl¡¯s beautiful eyes were arrogant and unrestrained. The tip of her tongue pressed against her teeth, and her pleasant voice was low and cold. ¡°Ms. Jiang, be firm. Don¡¯t always be controlled by this scum, understand?¡± Jiang Qin looked at her domineering daughter in a daze and nodded instinctively. Si Fan patted Jiang Qin¡¯s shoulder and smiled. ¡°You¡¯re worth teaching.¡± Then, she picked up the room service landline on the coffee table and dialed a number in front of Jiang Qin. She said lazily, ¡°Give me a special hotel service.¡± ¡°Yes, now.¡± Then she hung up. Jiang Qin came back to her senses and hurriedly asked, ¡°Wait, a hotel¡¯s special service? Why are you calling a special service?¡± Si Fan glanced at Jiang Qin with her peach blossom eyes and smiled faintly. ¡°I¡¯ll give you a massage to clear your meridians. Simply put, it¡¯s to calm you down.¡± Jiang Qin blushed. ¡°No, there¡¯s no need. Quickly cancel it!¡± Si Fan raised her eyebrows. ¡°What are you afraid of? It¡¯s free anyway.¡± Jiang Qin could not help but glare at Si Fan. She was doing this for her own good. She was an innocent university girl, yet she was asking for a hotel¡¯s special service. What if word got out that she did not behave herself? As a mother, she had to think more about her daughter. ¡°If you don¡¯t cancel it, I will!¡± Seeing that Si Fan was not moving, Jiang Qin picked up the landline and was about to make a call. Si Fan pressed down on Jiang Qin¡¯s hand that was holding the landline phone. ¡°Don¡¯t fret. I was just joking with you. I didn¡¯t make the call just now.¡± Jiang Qin was skeptical. ¡°Really?¡± Si Fan replied, ¡°Yes, I didn¡¯t even say the room number.¡± Jiang Qin heaved a sigh of relief. Si Fan glanced at Jiang Qin again and said calmly, ¡°Have you calmed down?¡± Jiang Qin was stunned. Then, she covered her chest with her hand. Her chest had felt less painful. She was so angry at Si Mingyuan¡¯s shameless words that her chest hurt repeatedly. So just now, Si Fan pretended to call for a special service in order to divert her attention so that she wouldn¡¯t be so angry? Chapter 37 Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Jiang Qin felt her heart warm up at this moment. Because her daughter still cared about her. However, Jiang Qin felt a little apprehensive when she recalled how Si Fan had rebuked Si Mingyuan. Did she know how serious the consequences of her words were? If Si Fan offended Si Mingyuan, she probably wouldn¡¯t be able to continue staying in Xiang City. After thinking about it, Jiang Qin still had many concerns. ¡°Fanfan, why don¡¯t we go back to the Si Family to take a look?¡± ¡°¡­¡± Si Fan. Fine, I wasted my breath. ¡°If you¡¯re so stupid that you want to go back and suffer, then go back yourself.¡± Si Fan said coldly and turned to leave. ¡°¡­¡± Jiang Qin, who was called stupid. She was probably the most incompetent mother. She was called stupid by her daughter. Sigh¡­ It was hard to be a human, and even harder to be a mother. She didn¡¯t even know what was right. Jiang Qin picked up her phone and checked her contact list. Indeed, Si Mingyuan¡¯s phone number was gone. Actually, Jiang Qin remembered Si Mingyuan¡¯s phone number very clearly. If she wanted to install it back into the phone, it would be a matter of minutes. But she didn¡¯t want to do that. Si Fan was right. If she called Si Mingyuan now, she would be asking for trouble. After some thought, she put down her phone. Just let her¡­ indulge herself for once. *** Meanwhile, Si Mingyuan called Jiang Qin several times, but she didn¡¯t pick up. At that moment, Si Mingyuan was so angry that he wanted to kill someone. He could not help but curse, ¡°B*tches!¡± Si Xue was standing close to Si Mingyuan. Her face darkened when she heard Si Fan¡¯s arrogant words. She never expected Si Fan to be so arrogant. She dared to speak rudely to her father. She had a death wish! She said coldly, ¡°Dad, stop calling them. Just force them to come back and look for us!¡± She did not believe that Jiang Qin and Si Fan could withstand the Si Family¡¯s coercion. Besides, there was still Si Yi who was lying in the hospital. She would use him to threaten Jiang Qin and Si Fan. She was not afraid that they would disobey him! Si Mingyuan also knew this logic, but it would take time to force Jiang Qin and Si Fan to compromise. And now that Madam Jiang and Jiang Qi were unwilling to leave the Si Family, how could he make them go back?! As if reading Si Mingyuan¡¯s mind, Si Xue immediately said, ¡°Dad, I have a way to get Madam Jiang and her son to go back.¡± Si Mingyuan nodded and looked at Si Xue with admiration. ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll leave it to you!¡± Si Xue immediately walked towards Madam Jiang and Jiang Qi. Madam Jiang saw Si Xue walking over and immediately asked, ¡°What was the result? Did Si Fan admit to breaking off the engagement?¡± Si Xue said apologetically, ¡°I¡¯m sorry, Auntie Jiang. Dad just spoke to Big Sister on the phone. She said that she¡¯s unwilling to break off the engagement.¡± ¡°What?!¡± Madam Jiang stood up in anger. ¡°That b*tch just said that she wanted to take the initiative to break off the engagement with the Jiang family, but she went back on her word almost immediately. What does she take me and my son for?! A fool?!¡± Jiang Qi¡¯s expression was also unhappy and dark. ¡°Since she doesn¡¯t want to break off the engagement with me, why did she get into another man¡¯s car and openly cuckold me?! Do you really think I¡¯m easy to bully?!¡± Madam Jiang waved her hand and ordered, ¡°Get that b*tch Si Fan to come back immediately. She must give us an explanation today!¡± Si Xue lowered her head and said guiltily, ¡°I¡¯m sorry, Auntie Jiang. Brother Jiang Qi, my sister doesn¡¯t plan to come back tonight. She said that as long as you guys are still in the Si Family, she doesn¡¯t plan to step into the Si Family again.¡± ¡°Damn it!¡± Madam Jiang felt that she had been played and was extremely angry. She kicked the trash can beside her angrily. ¡°Si Fan, you little b*tch, how dare you lie to me? Just you wait, I¡¯ll never forgive you!¡± ¡°If she has the ability to hide for the rest of her life, she¡¯d better do so. Otherwise, see how I teach her a lesson if I see her again!!!¡± Jiang Qi didn¡¯t look too good either. ¡°Mom, don¡¯t worry. I won¡¯t let that disgusting Si Fan off either!¡± How dare she lie to him and his mother! The corners of Si Xue¡¯s lips curled up slightly before she said, ¡°Auntie Jiang, Brother Jiang Qi, don¡¯t be angry. Why don¡¯t you guys go back first? I¡¯ll inform you guys to come over when Big Sister comes home.¡± Madam Jiang said angrily, ¡°You¡¯d better keep your word. Don¡¯t treat me and my son like monkeys just to protect your sister!!¡± Si Xue shook her head. ¡°Of course not. Although I care a lot about Big Sister, she really makes a mess this time. I can¡¯t just ignore her mistakes, right?¡± Madam Jiang trusted Si Xue very much. After all, she really liked the outstanding Si Xue and wanted her to be her daughter-in-law. Thinking of this, she nodded. ¡°Then when she comes back, tell us immediately. My son and I will immediately come over to look for her to fulfill her promise to break off the engagement!¡± Si Xue agreed without hesitation. ¡°Okay.¡± Madam Jiang nodded. Since Si Fan wasn¡¯t coming home, there was no need for her to stay any longer. She gestured for Jiang Qi to leave. Jiang Qi glanced at Madam Jiang and secretly winked at her. ¡°Mom, go out first. I want to talk to Little Xue.¡± Madam Jiang understood and her knowing gaze landed on Si Xue and Jiang Qi. She nodded. ¡°Alright, Mom will wait for you outside.¡± Then she walked out. Si Mingyuan said politely, ¡°Madam Jiang, I¡¯ll send you off.¡± Madam Jiang nodded. ¡°Sure!¡± Since her son had decided to break off the engagement with Si Fan, she had to find another fianc¨¦e for. Si Xue was not bad. She could talk to Si Mingyuan in detail about that. After Si Mingyuan sent Madam Jiang off, Si Xue and Jiang Qi walked out and stood in front of the small flowerbed. There was no one around. Jiang Qi immediately said to Si Xue, ¡°Little Xue, you have to help me successfully get rid of that b*tch Si Fan. She¡¯s not my type. I¡¯d rather not marry her for the rest of my life than marry a woman like her!¡± Si Xue bit her lip and didn¡¯t agree immediately. Instead, she deliberately asked, ¡°Brother Jiang Qi, is my sister really that bad?¡± Jiang Qi: ¡°Isn¡¯t that obvious? How can you not know how trashy she is?!¡± Si Xue sighed and said in a weak tone, ¡°But¡­ My sister really loves you. She got into another man¡¯s car probably just to attract your attention. She¡­ will die without you.¡± Jiang Qi was not touched at all when he heard that. Instead, his disgust for Si Fan increased. ¡°So be it. Anyway, I won¡¯t compromise and be with her. Instead of marrying a woman like Si Fan, I might as well marry you. Little Xue, why don¡¯t you marry me?¡± Although he had countless women by his side, he had no choice at all. Those women were not presentable. He was just playing around with them. He would never marry them. Si Xue was the perfect candidate for him to marry. Chapter 38 Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations The moment Si Xue heard that Jiang Qi was going to marry her, no matter how calm she was, her expression couldn¡¯t help but change. Jiang Qi was just a famous playboy. He had countless women around him and changed his female companion every day. He was extremely dirty. What right did he have to marry her?! Didn¡¯t he know his place? If he didn¡¯t have the title of the Second Young Master of the Jiang Family on him, would he be worthy of talking to her?! She didn¡¯t even fancy the Jiang Family, the richest family in Xiang City, much less Jiang Qi, who was a playboy and had no ambition! Therefore, it was impossible for her to marry him! Although Si Xue hated Jiang Qi to the core, she pretended to be weak and understanding on the surface. ¡°Brother Jiang Qi, I¡¯m sorry. I can¡¯t snatch someone else¡¯s love. Even if you and my Big Sister break off the engagement one day, I can¡¯t¡­ go against my conscience and be with you.¡± Jiang Qi did not mind. ¡°Little Xue, why do you care so much? As long as you promise me, leave the rest to me to settle. You just have to marry me in glory!¡± Si Xue shook her head. ¡°Brother Jiang Qi, I¡¯m sorry. You should find someone else. Don¡¯t force me to do something that goes against my conscience. Otherwise, I¡¯ll have a guilty conscience for the rest of my life.¡± Jiang Qi frowned. He didn¡¯t understand. Wasn¡¯t Si Fan very mean to Si Xue and her sister? Why didn¡¯t Si Xue hate Si Fan? Why did she defend Si Fan so many times?! How contradictory! If Si Fan¡¯s attitude towards Si Xue and Si Ya was really bad, and Si Xue was so respectful and protective of Si Fan, then Si Xue was simply too¡­ too kind. She could even be considered stupid. For a moment, Jiang Qi¡¯s good impression of Si Xue was greatly reduced. ¡°Whether you agree to marry me or not, my marriage with your Big Sister Si Fan is set to be annulled. Not even Jesus can stop me!¡± Jiang Qi left right after saying that. Si Xue heaved a sigh of relief. It didn¡¯t matter as long as Jiang Qi didn¡¯t force her to get engaged to him. However, the marriage between the Jiang Family and the Si Family was arranged by the older generation. It didn¡¯t seem that easy to cancel it. Unless the Jiang Family and Si Family both agreed. She didn¡¯t know what was going on with the Jiang Family, but her father probably wouldn¡¯t agree to it. After all, a marriage alliance with the Jiang Family was beneficial to the Si Family. Therefore, they had to force Si Fan to marry into the Jiang Family in the name of the Si Family! *** It was late at night again. Si Fan walked out of the room. She was wearing a black shirt, black pants, a mask, and a baseball cap. Her long black hair was tied up with a rubber band. Her eyes were cold and she looked heroic. In the dark night, she walked leisurely through the living room, around various obstacles, and out of the room. Jiang Qin, who was sound asleep, was completely unaware. Si Fan wanted to go to the underground fighting club to take a look and see if there were any competitions tonight. At the same time, she wanted to earn another 500,000 yuan. However, when she arrived at the Emperor Dun Underground Fighting Arena, she realized that it was closed. She looked at the bulletin board on the wall and learned that this boxing competition was only held once a month. Si Fan touched her cheek with the tip of her tongue. Alright, she had to change her way of earning money tonight. However, her hands were still itching and she wasn¡¯t feeling great. She wanted to beat someone up! Si Fan walked out of the underground fighting hall and immediately entered another noisy entertainment venue. Dunhuang Night Bar. Dunhuang was a large entertainment venue. In addition to the underground fighting arena, it also had many other entertainment facilities. For example, bars, arcades, gyms, massage parlors, and so on. And Si Fan accidentally entered the bar. The atmosphere was lively. At a glance, there were all kinds of men and women coming and going. Accompanied by the agitation of the music and the intertwining lights, they were partying. The atmosphere was promiscuous and hormonal. She smelled alcohol and she craved it. The original host was a timid and obedient girl, but Si Fan was different. She liked to break the norm. She liked excitement and liked to try new things. And the taste of alcohol was inexplicably bewitching to her, a queen who had just arrived on Earth. She liked that smell! She just didn¡¯t know¡­ how it tasted. Si Fan felt an inexplicable itch in her throat. She took off her mask and threw it into the trash can at the side as she prepared to walk towards the bar. Suddenly, she stopped in her tracks. This was because she saw a group of playful young masters walking towards her. One of them was an acquaintance. ¡°Brother Qi, you said that you were going to the Si Family to annul your marriage with that trash Si Fan. Did you succeed?!¡± Jiang Qi was a little frustrated. ¡°No!¡± The bad friend beside him teased, ¡°Then what should we do? Don¡¯t tell me you really plan to be pestered by her for the rest of your life?!¡± Jiang Qi: ¡°Hmph, how is that possible?! I won¡¯t marry that disgusting thing even if you beat me to death! Look at her looks. How dare she covet my beauty and money? Dream on!¡± ¡°That¡¯s right. My Brother Qi has good looks, money, and power. Why would he want a useless ugly woman?! Anyone on the streets is better than her!¡± These words made Jiang Qi feel a little smug. ¡°Of course!¡± Suddenly, his bad friend patted Jiang Qi¡¯s shoulder. ¡°Hey, hey, hey, Brother Qi, that beauty in the baseball cap has been staring at you. Could it be¡­ that she has a crush on you?¡± Jiang Qi was stunned when he heard this. Then, he looked at a girl standing a few meters away from him. She was dressed in black, and so was her face and hat, almost blending into the dark night. From time to time, a few lights would flash past her body and her face. Her exquisite face under the brim of the hat was beautiful and cold. It was very ostentatious and was imprinted in Jiang Qi¡¯s eyes. Even the scenery around her became blurry in Jiang Qi¡¯s eyes. It even paled in comparison. Jiang Qi only took a glance and couldn¡¯t help but fall into a daze. His eyes were fixed on her face, and he couldn¡¯t move his eyes or legs at all. The few bad friends around him were even worse. They drooled right away. Damn, this beauty was simply the best in the world! How long had it been since they had seen such a seductive beauty?! Despite having seen countless women, they were instantly tempted! He would have no regrets if he could seduce her into his bed. Jiang Qi wiped his saliva and chuckled. ¡°It would be a pleasure even if I¡¯m going to die underneath her. Don¡¯t stop me today. Let me meet that beauty!¡± His bad friends were jealous. ¡°Brother Qi, it¡¯s better to be happy together than alone. Why don¡¯t we go together?¡± Jiang Qi was so angry that he kicked the bad friend who spoke. ¡°F*ck off. I have taken a fancy to her. Don¡¯t even think about getting involved with her before I¡¯m tired of playing with her!¡± The bad friend instantly cowered. ¡°Brother Qi, I¡¯m just joking. P-please don¡¯t mind me!¡± Jiang Qi snorted and tidied up his clothes and hair. He walked towards Si Fan valiantly¡­ Beauty, I¡¯m here to dote on you! Chapter 39 Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations At this moment, on the second floor¡¯s balcony, a pair of dark eyes were silently watching Jiang Qi, who was approaching Si Fan. There was a hint of ruthlessness and extreme danger in his eyes. At this moment, Jiang Wang was still unaware. He lowered his gaze and revealed a playful smile. ¡°Tsk, my little nephew is here to pick up girls again.¡± ¡°I wonder which unlucky girl he has taken a fancy to.¡± Because the lights in the bar were too dim and messy, he couldn¡¯t recognize that Jiang Qi¡¯s target was the little beauty that Jun Yan had treated a meal to. He just watched calmly. Before Jun Yan could react, Jiang Wang tilted his head and realized that Jun Yan was covered in a layer of cold air. He couldn¡¯t help but feel shocked. Tsk, what¡¯s wrong with this big boss today?! He had clearly invited him here for a drink in a good mood just now. Why was he suddenly so serious? Jun Yan¡¯s eyelashes drooped, and a layer of coldness covered them. His deep voice drifted. ¡°Your nephew¡­ is looking for trouble.¡± ¡°?!¡± Jiang Wang. Who? His nephew was going to get hurt badly? Why?! Before he could figure it out, the man beside him suddenly turned around and walked towards the stairs. ¡°Aye!¡± Jiang Wang called out, but Jun Yan did not respond. Jiang Wang was so anxious that he followed to see what was going on. Jiang Qi¡¯s group was already approaching Si Fan. At this moment, Si Fan was leaning against the wall with her arms crossed. She looked lazily at Jiang Qi, who was walking over, and the corners of her mouth even curled into a casual and evil smile. Si Fan¡¯s faint smile was like a fairy scattering flowers when it landed on Jiang Qi, stunning his entire world. Jiang Qi couldn¡¯t hold it in anymore. He leaned forward and placed his hand on Si Fan¡¯s side. With his other hand, he flirtatiously brushed the hair on his forehead, looking like a playful young master. He smiled even more wantonly. ¡°Beauty, add me on WeChat. Shall we get to know each other?¡± The bad friend following behind him exclaimed in his heart, It¡¯s so gross! Si Fan glanced at Jiang Qi and her lips moved. ¡°Get lost!¡± Get lost?! Jiang Qi¡¯s smile froze. He cursed in his heart! This woman was really good at playing hard to get. She had been staring at him just now. It was obvious that she had a crush on him and was seducing him to attract his attention! Now that he had taken the initiative to come over, she was actually playing hide-and-seek with him?! She was really capable! Jiang Qi was in a bad mood tonight and did not want to play such a game with her. He wanted to end the battle quickly! Jiang Qi immediately teased, ¡°You¡¯re the first woman who dares to ask me to get lost. Do you know who¡¯s standing in front of you now? It¡¯s someone you don¡¯t even dare to dream of in your life!¡± Si Fan raised her eyebrows nonchalantly. ¡°Oh? You¡¯re not a dog?¡± ¡°Pfft!¡± His bad friends. ¡°¡­¡± Jiang Qi. F*ck, he was the dignified Second Young Master of the Jiang family. His status was incomparably noble, but she actually humiliated him as a dog?! He would rather be killed than humiliated! He gritted his teeth. ¡°Damn woman, very good. You¡¯ve successfully attracted my attention. Don¡¯t worry, you¡¯re coming onto my bed tonight. I¡¯ll make you feel like you¡¯re floating and wish you were dead!¡± Si Fan looked up in disdain. ¡°Are you worthy?¡± Are you worthy? Are you worthy? Are you worthy? These three words exploded in Jiang Qi¡¯s mind like a loop. Jiang Qi had just wanted to seduce this woman in front of him on a whim and have a happy one-night stand earlier, but now he was sure that he wanted to conquer her ruthlessly! He removed the rose thorns all over her body and made her attach herself to him without any aggressiveness. She even had to rely on him! ¡°It¡¯s not up to you to decide if I¡¯m worthy or not. It¡¯s up to me in bed!¡± As Jiang Qi spoke, his gaze lingered on her body wantonly. This girl¡¯s figure was really not bad. She had picked up a treasure tonight. It would definitely feel good to kidnap her to the bed! He was itching to reach out and touch her. But before he could touch her, he was repelled by her hand. Jiang Qi was about to say that she didn¡¯t know what was good for her, but she spoke first. The girl casually moved her wrist and loosened her hand bones. Her tone was extremely indifferent. ¡°My hands are itchy tonight. It¡¯s good that you¡¯re here to relieve the itch in my fist.¡± ¡°Wha¡ª¡± Before he could finish his sentence. Jiang Qi¡¯s nose was punched by Si Fan. ¡°Ow, you¡ª¡± Before he could finish, the girl kicked his calf. He bent his knees and knelt on one knee. If Jiang Qi hadn¡¯t been single-sidedly abused by the girl, people would have thought that he was proposing to the girl. However, the real situation was not a proposal. He was begging for mercy! Si Fan kicked Jiang Qi again. The kick sent him flying into the crowd. BOOM! The commotion caused an uproar. Everyone looked over. His bad friends had just been teasing him, but now they were all dumbfounded. Everyone gasped. Although Jiang Qi was badly abused, he was not angry. Instead, he was excited. Interesting! It had been a long time since he had met such an interesting woman. She dared to hit him. She had guts! He staggered to his feet and wiped his bleeding nose. He looked up at Si Fan and smiled instead of getting angry. ¡°You¡¯re the first woman who dared to hit me. You¡¯re really hot-tempered!¡± ¡°But what should I do?! The more fiery your temper is, the more I want to conquer you and make you my woman!¡± As soon as he finished speaking, there were all kinds of cheers around him. ¡°Second Young Master Jiang, Second Young Master Jiang!¡± ¡°Conquer her, conquer her!¡± Jiang Qi wiped the blood from his nose again and smiled evilly. ¡°Hehe, did you hear that? They call me Second Young Master Jiang. I¡¯m the second young master of the Jiang Family and have a noble status. It¡¯s a blessing that you have accumulated in eight lifetimes for me to take a fancy to you. If you follow me, you¡¯ll live a good life for the rest of your life and don¡¯t have to worry!¡± ¡°¡­¡± Si Fan. She must have met a retard! Jiang Qi shamelessly approached her. ¡°Woman, what¡¯s your name?¡± Si Fan ignored the retard and walked past him, wanting to leave. But how could Jiang Qi, who had just developed a great interest in Si Fan, let her go so easily? He reached out to grab Si Fan¡¯s shoulder. Si Fan sensed it and her eyes turned cold. She did not make a move. Suddenly, a black-gloved hand appeared out of nowhere and grabbed Jiang Qi¡¯s hand tightly. Jiang Qi shouted angrily at the owner of the hand, ¡°Who is it? Are you blind?!¡± He dared to attack him?! As soon as he finished speaking, he felt a sharp pain in his wrist, followed by a cracking sound. ¡°Ah!¡± Jiang Qi¡¯s mournful howls filled the place. Everyone was instantly shocked to the extreme when they saw this reversal. Si Fan turned around and raised her eyebrows slightly when she saw who it was. The man shook off Jiang Qi¡¯s wrist and smiled at Si Fan nonchalantly. ¡°Miss Si, we meet again.¡± He greeted her in a calm tone. He did not lose any of his poise just because he had broken a man¡¯s wrist. Nobility, calmness, and composure were carved into his bones. It was as if he had broken a chopstick instead of a person¡¯s wrist. Si Fan narrowed her eyes. ¡°What a coincidence.¡± Jiang Qi was still holding his wrist and crying out in pain. He glared at the man who had suddenly appeared and gritted his teeth. ¡°W-who are you?!¡± Jun Yan casually took off the glove that he had just touched Jiang Qi¡¯s hand with and threw it into the trash can. He lifted his eyelids and looked at Jiang Qi with his dark eyes. A hint of coldness seeped out of his eyes and his voice was low and cold. ¡°Do you deserve to know me?¡± Chapter 40 Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations The man¡¯s tone was cold, truly showing what arrogance was. Jiang Qi was furious and wanted to call his bad friends to attack him. But before he could say anything, another figure walked out and shouted in a low voice, ¡°Jiang Qi, get lost if you don¡¯t want to die!¡± Jiang Qi heard a familiar voice and looked at the person. His face turned pale. It was his youngest uncle, Jiang Wang?! Didn¡¯t Uncle¡¯s family move to Beijing? Why was he back? Moreover, why didn¡¯t he return to the Jiang family or inform them when he was back?! Little did he know that Jiang Wang had only accompanied Jun Yan to Xiang City to look for someone. He didn¡¯t want to alarm anyone. What a bother! Jiang Wang walked behind Jun Yan and glanced at Jiang Qi coldly. ¡°Didn¡¯t you hear me telling you to get lost?¡± Jiang Qi was still very afraid of Jiang Wang. After all, the Jiang family in Xiang City could develop into the number one wealthy family because of the Jiang family in Beijing. However, he was unwilling to let go of the man who had hurt him. Jiang Qi immediately looked at Jun Yan with an unfriendly gaze. ¡°Uncle, but he¡­¡± Jiang Wang cursed inwardly. How could a piece of trash like him touch Jun Yan? Even he had to be polite in front of this big boss. Jiang Wang immediately kicked him and warned, ¡°Get lost, or I¡¯ll cripple your other hand!¡± Jiang Qi almost vomited blood after being kicked by his own uncle. However, his heart skipped a beat when he saw Jiang Wang¡¯s gloomy expression and the mysterious and dangerous man beside him. Could it be that he had provoked a big shot?! But he had never seen this man in Xiang City. Could it be that he was not from Xiang City but¡­ He swallowed his saliva and lowered his head. His gaze swept past Si Fan¡¯s beautiful face and he had no choice but to leave. A few of his friends followed him. Jun Yan retracted the coldness on his face and remained silent for three seconds. Then, he slowly turned around and looked at Si Fan. The light above his head flashed past his handsome face. The outline of his face was handsome and sharp. He was cold and noble. His hand, which had taken off his gloves, slid into his pocket casually. He stared at her with his dark eyes. ¡°Miss Si, it¡¯s the middle of the night. Why aren¡¯t you sleeping at home? Why are you here at a nightclub?¡± Hearing Jun Yan¡¯s concerned words, Jiang Wang¡¯s eyes widened involuntarily. Holy sh*t, what¡¯s going on? Jun Yan actually took the initiative to show concern for a girl?! He was an unromantic and proper bachelor who had been single for ten thousand years. Had he finally been enlightened? Jiang Wang looked at Si Fan under the light and realized that she was the one that Jun Yan had treated to lunch. His eyes widened again. F*ck, it was actually her?! This world was really small! Si Fan was not someone who would listen to others. As soon as Jun Yan finished speaking, she glanced over and raised her eyebrows slightly. Her tone was deliberately provocative. ¡°Do we know each other very well? Why do you care about me?¡± Jun Yan¡¯s eyes were calm and deep. ¡°Miss Si, what are you hinting at? Do you want me to get to know you well as soon as possible?¡± ¡°¡­¡± Si Fan. After three seconds of silence, her voice deepened. ¡°Don¡¯t think too much.¡± Jun Yan chuckled. ¡°Then what can I do to control you, Miss Si?¡± Si Fan smirked nonchalantly. ¡°You want to control me? In your next life!¡± Her tone was extremely arrogant! Jun Yan was silent for a moment. There was a hint of a smile on his face. It was quite charming. She was really unruly. She was rebellious and willful. Jiang Wang had thought that other than Jun Yan¡¯s parents, no one in this world would dare to be so arrogant in front of Jun Yan. But today¡­ he had seen it for himself! He stared at Si Fan¡¯s face, his eyes sparkling as if he had seen something strange. This woman was too domineering! He could not remember her name and could not help but ask, ¡°Hey, the little girl, what¡¯s your name?¡± Si Fan glanced at him from the corner of her eyes and replied in a casual tone, ¡°Si Fan.¡± Jiang Wang immediately slapped his thigh and remembered! Wait a sec! Jiang Qi¡¯s fianc¨¦e was also called Si Fan. Jiang Qi was pestering her just now. Could it be¡­ such a coincidence? He asked uncertainly, ¡°You¡­ are my nephew¡¯s fianc¨¦e, Si Fan?¡± Si Fan snorted and her eyes turned cold. ¡°Fianc¨¦e? I won¡¯t be soon.¡± Hearing this, Jun Yan¡¯s eyes darkened. Jiang Wang was shocked. ¡°No, no, aren¡¯t you an ugly four-eyed girl?¡± At least, that was what he said when Jiang Qi mentioned it. She wore glasses, was ugly, had a weak personality, and was useless. She was not like now¡­ beautiful, seductive, cold, and valiant. This was completely different from what that weakling Jiang Qi had described, right?! Si Fan frowned. ¡°Are you blind?¡± He could question her about anything, but he could not question her looks! Sensing Si Fan¡¯s displeasure, Jiang Wang quickly explained, ¡°Ahem. No, no, I only heard about it. I only heard about it.¡± Si Fan snorted. With a cold snort, Jiang Wang¡¯s heart inexplicably trembled. Oh gosh, was this big boss angry? Did he say anything wrong? Why was she angry? Jiang Wang was at a loss and instinctively asked Jun Yan for help. Jun Yan smiled. ¡°Miss Si, you¡¯re right. Jiang Wang is indeed blind. Miss Si is as beautiful as a fairy. No one can compare to you.¡± When Si Fan heard that, the displeasure in her eyes disappeared completely. She gave Jun Yan a look of praise and said in a clear voice, ¡°You have good taste, at least better than your sidekick!¡± Jun Yan couldn¡¯t help but laugh. ¡°¡­¡± Jiang Wang, who had been mistaken for a sidekick. Si Fan looked down at the time on his cell phone. It was two in the morning. ¡°I won¡¯t talk to you anymore. I still have something on. I¡¯ll take my leave first.¡± She had just smelled the alcohol and wanted to taste it, but Jiang Qi had disturbed her mood. She was no longer not in the mood to taste it. Besides, she still needed to find a way to earn money tonight. She did not have time to chat with the two handsome men. After saying this, she wanted to turn around and leave. Jun Yan suddenly said, ¡°Wait.¡± Si Fan turned around and looked at him with raised eyebrows. Jun Yan walked closer and said calmly, ¡°It¡¯s not safe for a young lady to walk at night. Do you want me to give you a ride?¡± Si Fan replied, ¡°No, thanks.¡± She was not used to being followed around. Moreover, she had always been wary of the man in front of her. Although¡­ he did not seem to have any ill intentions, it was not that simple to make her trust him completely. Jun Yan looked at her deeply and did not force her. ¡°Alright then. If you encounter any danger, remember to call me.¡± Si Fan smiled. ¡°Okay.¡± Jun Yan looked at her. ¡°Have you memorized my phone number?¡± ¡°¡­¡± Si Fan. A hint of helplessness flashed across Jun Yan¡¯s eyes. Did she not read the business card he gave her?! He took out his cell phone and asked, ¡°Your cell phone number?¡± Si Fan was silent for two seconds. After pondering for a moment, she spat out a string of numbers. ¡°188*****.¡± Jun Yan memorized the number and dialed it. A second later, he heard Si Fan¡¯s phone ring. He smiled in satisfaction. ¡°Remember to save it.¡± Si Fan glanced at him and nodded. ¡°Okay, I¡¯m leaving.¡± Jun Yan didn¡¯t say anything. He suddenly took off his black coat and covered her¡­
