Qin Yiyiâs footsteps paused slightly. Her gaze swept over the person in front of her, and a casual remark came out from her red lips.
âIâm not free.â She didnât want to go.
After that, she didnât even look at him and continued walking forward as if nothing had happened.
Gu Yulin snorted coldly. âTell your boss not to have any ideas about her.â
âOtherwise, he will regret it!â
After saying that, he hurried to catch up with Qin Yiyi.
âYiyi, wait for me. Donât go so fast. Hey, Yiyi, do you want to go back with me?â
âGrandpa has been talking about you for a few days...â
Qin Yiyi couldnât stand his nagging. She turned around and looked at him with a faint smile.
âArenât you afraid that Iâll accidentally spill the beans about what happened today in front of Grandpa Gu?â
Gu Yulin, â...â
He couldnât afford to offend her.
On the way home, Gu Yulin occasionally glanced at her.
The strange and conflicted look in his eyes made Qin Yiyi laugh.
In the end, before she got out of the car, she looked over with a soft heart.
âIf you have anything to say, just say it.â
He was so wishy-washy and didnât seem like a man!
No wonder Grandpa Gu was always worried about this grandson of his. Sigh, he didnât train enough.
Gu Yulin said, âAh, you asked me to ask.â
âIf you donât say it, Iâm leaving.â
âWell, when did you learn how to drive?â
And your skills were so good!
She was comparable to a professional racer. No, no, she was so domineering previously. Her driving skills and aura were stronger than any professional racer he had ever seen!
Qin Yiyi tilted her head and looked at him. Her red lips lifted slightly.
âThis, do you need to learn?â
Gu Yulin, â...â
In the end, he could only remind Qin Yiyi, âYou havenât gotten your official driving license yet. You canât drive on the street, lest the traffic police find out.â
He rambled on for a long time.
Qin Yiyiâs head hurt when she heard that. She glanced at him and silently turned around.
If you donât leave, Iâll leave, okay?
Gu Yulin was still mumbling behind her. When he saw Qin Yiyi leave, he exclaimed, âAh!â
âHey, donât leave. Did you hear what I said?â
If one day this girl really drove on the road on a whim...
If she was found out by the traffic police, she would be fined or detained.
It was not good for a girlâs reputation!
Qin Yiyi: What is reputation? Can you eat or drink it?
Oh, you canât. Forget it then. This thing is too rubbish. I donât want it!
After Qin Yiyi left, Gu Yulin stood in front of the car and didnât see her. He also turned around and got into the car.
When he turned his head, he could see the transfer contract on the passenger seat.
He thought about it and decided to go home to look for his grandfather.
This matter couldnât be settled without his grandfather.
The Shang family didnât have any good people!
He was still young. He might be swallowed by the other party until not even his bones were left.
His grandfather, this old fox, still had to step in.
Right, should he involve them in this matter one by one?
Until Gu Yulin knocked on the door of Old Master Guâs study, he was still in a dilemma.
If he didnât say anything, his grandfather would definitely ask where the transfer contract came from. Forget it, why would he give Qin Yiyi 30% ?!
In the end, Gu Yulin still had to say something. In the end, he only said that he had already signed a racing contract with Shang Tianzhi. However, when he went over today, he accidentally bumped into Qin Yiyi. When they went together, Qin Yiyi noticed that the sound of his car wasnât right, so she saved him and helped him win against Shang Tianzhi. After hearing this, Old Master Guâs expression changed. âShang did something to your car?â
âAre you okay?â
âIâm fine, but that Shang guy is in trouble. I donât know if his leg can be cured.â
âHaha, if he canât be cured, heâll be a cripple for the rest of his life.â
Letâs see how he fights with him in the future!
As for what Old Master Gu asked, he shook his head and confessed the truth.
âI donât have any evidence.â
Places like the underground race track had a lot of people, and his car had been parked there a while ago.
It was because the Gu family had been busy recently, and he was worried about his old man.
So he didnât pay attention to this matter.
He didnât expect that someone would take advantage of this...
However, Gu Yulin was clear in his heart that this matter was 120% related to Shang Tianzhi!
Unfortunately, even if he sent people to investigate, there wouldnât be any clues left for him.
He shook his head and didnât think about it anymore.
âGrandfather, Iâm afraid the Shang family wonât easily spit it out. Look at this matter...â
âThis is what my grandson traded his life for. Why shouldnât they spit it out?â
Old Master Gu chuckled and his old eyes instantly sharpened.
âLeave this matter to me. Tell Yiyi that this piece of land belongs to the two of you, 50-50.â
âSure, Grandpa. Iâve already told her before that I can have 40% and 60% , but that girl refuses no matter what.â
Grandpa Gu glanced at him. âYou... if you were half as good as that girl, I could rest assured.â
âGrandpa, what are you talking about? I- Iâm doing fine.â
Gu Yulinâs face was full of silly joy. âOh right, my dad called me earlier and said that he and my mom would come to visit you in two days.â
âOkay, I got it. Tell them to be careful outside.â
After sending his grandson away, Old Master Gu sat in the study and looked at the empty space outside the window for a long time.
In the end, he rubbed the space between his brows, his face full of exhaustion.
The current generation of the Gu family might start to go downhill.
Qin Yiyi...
Could she be a variable?!
He, hoped she was!
Time flowed like water, and in the blink of an eye, it was the end of December.
The school had already entered the general revision stage.
Only the first year of high school was slightly better. The second year and third year high school students were constantly reminded and urged by the teachers.
And among them, Qin Yiyi became the representative of the most hardworking and studious students in the teachersâ mouths.
There was no one like her!
After all, Qin Yiyi had always placed first in all of the tests over the past six months.
First in her class, first in her grade!
And the first and second place in her grade had almost been pulled down from the list by her step by step.
Now, Qin Yiyi firmly dominated the first place with her stubborn existence that definitely surpassed the second place score by a large margin!
Speaking of, which of the school teachers was the happiest?
Grade two, class three, Teacher Zhou.
The schoolâs top student was in his class!
There were quite a few of them.
Although Qin Yiyi was the unbreakable first place, the second and third place were in his class as well.
Oh, Qin Jiatong wasnât bad either. She was ranked around 15th in the last yearâs grade test.
Although her grades had indeed slipped a little...
But as long as she could pull herself together and work hard, there was still a high chance that she could take another step forward.
Moreover, even if she had to maintain the results in front of her until the college entrance examination...
Other than the top few universities in the country, which university in China would not be available for her to choose from?
However, the prerequisite was that she could not be distracted by other things.
Based on this mentality, Teacher Zhouâs attitude toward Qin Jiatong was more or less more severe.
However, he did not know that this made Qin Jiatong feel more and more unbearable.
She felt wronged in her heart.
She felt that she was being targeted and picked on for no reason!
Once again, she was punished by Teacher Zhou for being late for the self-study class, and she was punished to copy her notes twice. Furthermore, she stood and listened to a lesson.
Qin Jiatongâs little universe, which was filled with anger in her heart, couldnât hold it in any longer. She directly rushed to Teacher Zhouâs office,
âTeacher Zhou, I want to have a good talk with you.â
Teacher Zhou glanced at her and pointed to a chair at the side. âSit down and talk.â
He also happened to want to have a good talk with this student!
Her previous academic results were very stable.
But now...
Her results had really been slipping all the way down. In the quiz the day before yesterday, she had actually slipped out of the top 20 of the Class!
According to this situation, this student could be considered useless.
âStudent Qin Jiatong, is there something on your mind recently?â
Teacher Zhouâs tone was sincere. He really wanted to solve the problem for his student and open up the knot in his heart.
He was well-intentioned for her to study and prepare for the exam!
Unfortunately, in Qin Jiatongâs eyes, his current tone and the words he said had all become acting.
It was all fake.
Clearly, the one who cared the most was Qin Yiyi.
And now, he was actually pretending to care about her!
How hypocritical!
She laughed coldly in her heart, but on the surface, Qin Jiatong quickly adjusted her state. She bit her lips and looked aggrieved.
âTeacher, I thought that you only cared about my sister and wouldnât care about other students.â
These words...
Made Teacher Zhou laugh involuntarily. âI value your sister because she is good at her studies. She is sensible and made others feel sorry for her. However, you are all my students. Naturally, I also value you. How could I not care about you?â As he spoke, Teacher Zhou couldnât help but reflect on himself in his heart. Recently, did he really do something so obvious that it made Qin Jiatong and the other students uncomfortable?
But Teacher Zhou thought about it and still felt that he didnât do anything wrong.
Moreover, he really didnât help Qin Yiyi much.
âYou are still students now. You are about to enter the third year of high school. Itâs time for you to study hard. Teacher knows that your relationship with Qin Yiyi is a little tense, but you are still young. You donât know anything about society. What do you think? As your teacher, I suggest that you focus on your studies and work hard to keep your grades stable. Only after you get into a good university will you have a better future, right?â
âTeacher, donât worry. I will definitely remember your words.â
Pausing for a moment, she bit her lip and spoke hesitantly.
âTeacher, there is something I would like to ask you for a favor...â
Teacher Zhou was a little surprised, but he still opened his mouth.
âGo ahead. As long as teacher can do it, it will be fine.â
He was just a teacher.
Hopefully, he could help his student.
âMy sister, she, she... she has been in a bad mood with my parents recently, and she doesnât even go home anymore. Two days ago, my mother went to visit her and found that she left in a boyâs car. My mother has been worried about her for the past two days, but my sister has been misunderstanding my parents and doesnât want to see me anymore... teacher, do you think you can help persuade my sister to move back home?â
âItâs so dangerous for a girl to live outside.â
âMoreover, my sister is still young. My parents are most worried that she will be deceived by other boys...â
âTeacher Zhou, can you help persuade my sister to move back home?â
As long as it was under her nose.
Would she still be worried that Qin Yiyi would use some underhanded methods?
Qin Yiyi:?Oh, I have many methods. You can look at them as you wish!
When teacher Zhou heard this, he laughed.
âI thought it was something. It turns out that you are worried about your sister. Thatâs more like it. The two of you are biological sisters and twins. Your relationship with each other is better than others. Previously, the teacher didnât want to talk about who was right and who was wrong. But in the future, you have to learn more from your sister.â
âThat brain of hers is not something an ordinary person can have.â
After praising Qin Yiyi once again, Teacher Zhou completely ignored his studentâs stiff face and agreed.
âDonât worry about this. Iâll have a good talk with Qin Yiyi later.â
âBut Qin Jiatong, donât hold too much hope. In my opinion, the current Qin Yiyi probably doesnât want to go back to the Qin family at all!â
Teacher Zhou gave his student a very sincere suggestion.
âActually, Teacher Zhou feels that instead of you thinking about things all by yourself, itâs better to study hard in the future. If you get along with Qin Yiyi sincerely, youâll find that sheâs a very good student and a very easy-to-get-along elder sister. Teacher believes that with you helping to make peace at home, your parents will one day sincerely accept her. Donât you agree, Qin Jiatong?â
â... Yes, thank you, teacher.â
She stood up and bowed to Teacher Zhou. âTeacher, you are right. I will get along well with my sister and learn from her.â
Teacher Zhouâs face was full of relief. âJiatong, if you have time, you should also have a good chat with Qin Yiyi. As long as you really get along with her, she will definitely accept you as her younger sister after a while. Of course, you still have to put your studies first...â
âThank you, teacher. I will.â
Qin Jiatongâs face instantly turned ferocious and terrifying as she walked out of the office.
In other words, if Qin Yiyi didnât accept her, then it meant that she didnât treat her sincerely and didnât really want to acknowledge her as her elder sister?
And he even said that he wasnât biased!
Hearing these words, it was clear that his heart had already grown to her elder sisterâs side!
Why did everyone ignore her efforts and treat Qin Yiyiâs frivolous lifestyle as a matter of course?
Qin Jiatong clenched her fists and stood in the empty space not far from the classroom door for a long time.
Finally, she sneered and walked into the classroom.
Didnât everyone value Qin Yiyi?
Since that was the case, she would let them take a good look at what kind of character Qin Yiyi was!
Qin Yiyi didnât know that Teacher Zhou was wholeheartedly trying to help her integrate into the Qin family.
Other than pulling Lu Jinwan to brush up on her questions to prepare for her exams, she was completely cooped up at home like a rice worm.
In her words, being a rice worm was good.
She did not have to worry about food and drink. She could not be caught in the rain or wind. If she wanted to lie on the sofa, she could. She could also lie on the bed if she wanted to.
If not, she could roll on the floor a few times as she pleased.
How good was this life?!
Therefore, even after Shang Jingheng had said several times that he wanted to take her out for a walk, she had rejected him.
Why would she want to go for a walk? Would she be able to eat, drink, lie down and sleep soundly as she did at home while shopping?!
Very good, a very powerful reason.
Shang Jingheng actually had nothing to say for a moment. In the end, he had no choice but to directly shift his office location to Qin Yiyiâs side.
It was also because Qin Yiyiâs current place was big.
Otherwise, it really would not be enough for Shang Jinghengâs office space!
It was just that he hadnât stayed for more than two days and Qin Yiyi was already a little annoyed by him, so she directly chased him away.
âWhen exactly are you going to return to your own territory?â
It was fine to just watch people flitting around in front of her.
But unfortunately, he was even more annoying than her mother when it came to managing her. When to eat, when to sleep, and even the time to watch TV and play on her phone was set by him.
She was going to be punished for exceeding the time limit?!
This was not just a friend who lived in her house. he was a living ancestor!
Pui! She was his ancestor.
Hmph, she was the ancestor of his entire family!
She grumbled a few words in her heart angrily. She frowned with a straight face.
âHurry up and go back to your own place to work. Youâre disturbing my studies here!â
Yes, it was delaying her studies.
Qin Yiyi lied through her teeth, âIâm about to have my final exams. Teacher said that if I get distracted and delay my studies, if I canât maintain my grades, he will be very disappointed. Iâm a good student, how can I disappoint my teacher?â
âAnd my place is really too small. Look, this study room isnât even one-third of your study room, right?â
âThe sofa and living room arenât good either. You are the grand Ninth Master Shang, how can you bear this place, right?â
So, hurry up and leave?
If he left, she could continue living the life of a rice worm that she wanted: to eat, drink, play, and sleep.
Perfect!
Unfortunately, Shang Jingheng didnât buy it at all.
âYiyi, you are really thoughtful. You know how to think for me. But donât worry, I wonât let myself be wronged.â
So, he had decided to leave?
Qin Yiyi was very happy. Her eyes were curved. âThen when are you going back? Iâll send you off.â
After a pause, she narrowed her eyes and giggled.
âIâll treat you to a big bowl of wontons!â Any more wouldnât do. It wasnât easy to earn money, so he had to save it!
The corner of Shang Jinghengâs mouth twitched. He really wanted to say that she had just received a fifty-fifty land contract from Grandpa Gu. That was quite a lot of money, right?
Just treat him to a bowl of wontons?
But he swallowed the words at the tip of his tongue. This girlâs possessiveness towards money was rather cute.
If he said it, the little girl would be so angry that she would not even have wontons.
Wouldnât he be even more speechless by then?
The mighty ninth master of the Shang family was not even comparable to a bowl of wontons?
Forget it, forget it. It was rare to be muddled in life!
However, looking at the little girlâs sparkling eyes and the uncontrollable joy on her face, it was as if he was going to leave in the next moment.
She could not help but jump up and cheer to send him off.
This made Shang Jingheng feel very stifled. How much was he being despised?
However, for some reason, he had the intention to tease the little girl. He also imitated her appearance and smiled gently.
âSo, in order not to make yourself suffer and not delay your studies, I have decided...â
Yes, yes, quickly tell me when you will leave. If you leave, I will be free to become a zombie.
However, in the next moment, her face suddenly collapsed and her big eyes blinked.
âBrother Shang, what did you say just now?!â
Shang Jingheng laughed softly, âI said, in order for you to study well, I have already bought the house next door. These two days, Ding Yi is busy with renovating and opening up. I have helped you to reserve a large study room. The learning stationery, desks, and chairs are all bought according to the body comfort of the highest-grade. There will definitely be no quality problems, and there will definitely not be issues that will affect you. You can rest assured.â
Qin Yiyi gritted her teeth. She... wasnât worried at all!
She gritted her teeth and reached out to take a piece of candy and threw it into her mouth. She chewed so hard that it made crackling sounds.
Her cheeks puffed up with hatred.
Seeing this, Shang Jingheng chuckled softly. Why was this little girl so cute?!
âHmph, just laugh. Laugh until your stomach hurts!â
At this moment, how could Qin Yiyi not react? Shang Jingheng was clearly teasing her.
However, when she thought of what he said just now about opening up the houses on both sides...
She felt a headache coming on. âBrother Shang, what you said just now about opening up the houses...â It was fake, right? Was he trying to trick her?
âOh, this is real. Havenât you noticed that Ding Yi hasnât been showing up in front of you much these past few days?â
At the same time, it would also give him something to do.
It would save him the trouble of showing up in front of the little girl all day long. Looking at it, he was an eyesore to her!
Qin Yiyi felt that it was better for her to go back to her room and lie down.
She glanced at Shang Jingheng faintly, then got up and drifted back to her bedroom.
For the time being, she didnât want to talk to that surnamed Shang outside!
By the way, what was she thinking before? She actually thought that such a face could be kept for a lifetime, and was worth having?
How could her brain have forgotten that no matter how beautiful or stunning something was, after looking at it for a long time, it would only look ordinary?
Moreover, this faceâs personal opinion was a little too strong.
Look at the situation just now, it was about to enter the realm of perfection!
After grinding her teeth repeatedly for a while, Qin Yiyi finally felt that it was still for the sake of that face.
Moreover, this was a stunning beauty that she had rescued with great difficulty...
She couldnât give up so easily, right?
All good-looking people were a little capricious.
Yes, she had to be tolerant!
Shang Jingheng, who didnât know that he had once again been tolerated without any bottom line because of his face, watched as Qin Yiyiâs bedroom was closed.
He sat on the sofa and shook his head, a hint of helplessness flashing through his eyes.
If she and that idiot from the Gu family hadnât provoked the Shang family, he wouldnât have kept such a close eye on her.
The Shang family was a group of people who had no bottom line and no principles, yet they would always seek revenge for their flaws!
At the very least, Gu Yulin had the status and support of the Gu family. The little girl was originally an abandoned child of the family.
Some time ago, Old Master Gu and another family in the imperial capital had joined forces to force the Shang family to swallow a lot of things.
The Shang family had suffered such a huge loss...
It would be strange if they didnât seek revenge on this girl!
However, they dared to bully the little girl that he was protecting...
He had to let the Shang family suffer some serious injuries and help them brush up on the principle that there was always someone better than them!
Imperial city. Shang familyâs main branch.
The eldest madam of the Shang family looked at the person standing in front of her and spoke fiercely, âItâs this little girl, isnât it? Iâll give you two days to bring her to Imperial City!â
âI donât care what method you use. Just get it done.â
âOh right, Zhiâer likes her face. Be careful not to hurt it.â
It was this little girlâs honor for her son to fancy her!
