“You’re Old Master’s favorite. You keep a distance from everyone and don’t offend anyone. No matter who inherits the Yuan family in the future, considering Old Master’s face, they won’t make things too difficult for you. So, don’t come looking for me anymore. Don’t cause trouble for yourself, and don’t cause chaos for me. It’s good for both of us.”

“Do you understand?”

Yuan Xudong spoke these words genuinely considering Ye Xiaoxi’s well-being.

The secret buried in his heart was a time bomb.

It could destroy him at any time.

He didn’t want to implicate anyone.

Ye Xiaoxi understood what he meant, but she didn’t want to make the relationship between people so utilitarian.

If she was really that calculative, Yining wouldn’t have chosen to be friends with her back then.

Similarly, she wouldn’t use such standards to treat the people around her.

“Uncle, I know what you said. But in my heart, you are my closest uncle. The others will never be able to compare to you.” Ye Xiaoxi’s eyes curved into crescents as she smiled innocently. “Besides, 1 believe you’ll win because you’re the best! Have more confidence in yourself.”

Yuan Xudong’s heart skipped a beat. “Ye Xiaoxi, do you have a brain? Do you know how to consider things?”

“Of course, 1 have a brain. I’m not stupid. However, I am a human, not a computer. 1 can’t be so clear about everything. Moreover, the biggest difference between humans and other things is that humans have complicated emotions.” Ye Xiaoxi said seriously, “That’s why 1 won’t stay away from you.”

Yuan Xudong fell silent.

Ye Xiaoxi brushed away his hand and said, “I’m going to look for the doctor.”

After saying that, she ran away.

Yuan Xudong looked at her back as a complicated and deep emotion flashed across his eyes.

Jiang Yining’s announcement of the public auction to sell Curium, fueled by publicity from various channels, quickly spread throughout the country, as well as overseas companies that were concerned about this matter.

As the auction date approached, more people were stationed in A-City and wanted to participate in the auction.

To enhance public trust in her synthesis of Curium, Lu Zhi and Jiang Yining took extra precautions.

She used a dedicated car every time she went in and out.

In addition, there were five or six bodyguards beside her.

Only when she was in school would she restrain herself a little and not be so high-profile.

That day after school.

Jiang Yining planned to go home early.

Since Xiao Lang had helped her last time, she promised to draw a green plum painting as a repayment.

The painting was almost finished.

She didn’t have much time to deal with this as she had to plan the auction.

She wanted to finish up early and settle the score with Xiao Lang.

However, as soon as she arrived at her house.

Jiang Yining noticed a familiar car.

She stopped in her tracks.

The person in the car also saw her. He got out and said in a deep voice, “1 need to talk to you. Come with me.”

The person who came was none other than Gu Zhanqing, whom she hadn’t seen for a long time.

Jiang Yining said coldly, “1 have nothing to do with you anymore.”

In other words, she wouldn’t follow him.

“Jiang Yining, no matter how angry you are at me, I’ve raised you for nearly twenty years.”

Jiang Yining smiled mockingly.

She’s not buying into such an excuse anymore.

She turned around and wanted to return to the villa.

She ignored him.

Gu Zhanqing was a little angry when he saw her being so arrogant, but he did have something to discuss with her. Therefore, he put aside his pride, walked up to her, and said, “Don’t be angry with me. I’m talking about serious matters. Ah Rou is sick and needs your help for treatment.”

Jiang Yining pursed her lips tightly.

After a moment of silence, she followed him into the car.

The car slowly drove away.

In the end, they stopped in front of the resort.

Gu Zhanqing and Jiang Yining got out of the car one after the other and walked in.

When the servants saw them, they bowed respectfully.

Gu Zhanqing led her to Jiang Ron’s bedroom.

“Yining, you’re here.” Jiang Rou wanted to talk to her, but just as she opened her mouth, she felt an itch in her throat and started coughing violently.

Jiang Yining instructed the servants, “Prepare some pear with rock sugar.”

“Yes.”

The servant left.

Jiang Yining placed her hand on Jiang Ron’s pulse and frowned. Jiang Rou was born weak and sickly. She had been recuperating for so many years, but she still hadn’t improved. Although Jiang Yining had tried prescribing medicine to consolidate her foundation. Logically speaking, Jiang Ron’s body should have recovered a little.

However, Jiang Ron’s condition remained suboptimal.

Jiang Yining thought of something. She wrote a prescription and handed it to Gu Zhanqing, then said, “Have the servant cook according to this prescription.”

“Yes.”

Gu Zhanqing turned around and walked out..
