Chapter 51: Party (2)
Ji Ming smiled before saying, "Qiu Yizhen, that's not fair of you. You're friends with such a beautiful girl and you don't introduce her to us? You must treat us to food next time! Along with the penalty of drinking three cups of alcohol!"
Ji Ming came closer to Qiu Yizhen to make fun of her.
"Go away! I'm not in a good mood!" Qiu Yizhen growled back. She was quite irritated.
"What's the matter? Who did something to you? Who dares to provoke Sister Qiu? Did they live too long?"
"A little brat!"
"Hm? Did someone actually offend you? Why didn't you tear her apart?"
"Don't even mention it! That brat blackmail me!"
The more Qiu Yizhen thought of the blackmail that Jian Yiling held, the more upset she was.
And because of that incident, she got a whole month's allowance taken away.
If it weren't for her coming to the Yu Residence today, she wouldn't get a single penny this month! However, her father wanted her to have the opportunity to speak to Master Sheng. As a result, he gave her half her usual allowance for the month."
"For real? Someone actually got the better of you?" Ji Ming looked quite amused.

"If you're here to laugh at me, get lost."
"No no no, I didn't mean that. We've known each other for so long. Do I seem like that type of person? Tell me who that person is. If you can't deal with them, I'll do it."
"For real?" Qiu Yizhen's eyes lit up when she heard Ji Ming say that.
"When have I not lived up to my words?"
"Okay. The brat is the only daughter of the Jian family. Jian Yiling. The one who thinks everyone is beneath her."
"You mean that girl?"
Ji Ming knew of Jian Yiling. Once, he had seen Jian Yiling at a banquet. She had immediately attracted his attention.
She was incredibly eye-catching and attractive.
And thus, he went to talk to her.
However, Miss Yiling had quite a bad temper. She completely ignored him and told him to get lost.
She had an incredibly arrogant look on her face. It was as though she thought she was a princess or something!

"Who else?" Whenever Qiu Yizhen thought about Jian Yiling, it felt as though there was a ball of fire in her heart. "She injured Jian Yunnao and she's not even ashamed! It's disgusting!"
"She injured Jian Yunnao? Isn't that her brother?"
The incident had only spread in Shenghua High School. The number one secondary school in Hengyuan City hadn't heard of the news yet.
"Yes! It's especially bad because it's her brother! How unlucky is Jian Yunnao! To have such a cruel sister. How can she hurt her own family?!" Qiu Yizhen ranted. She was angry on Jian Yunnao's behalf.
"Tsk tsk." Ji Ming sighed in response.
###
Jian Yiling actually fell asleep at the Yu Residence.
The attic was surrounded by roses. The outer walls were covered by the vines of the roses.
The fragrance of the flowers floated through the window.
Under the faint floral fragrance, Jian Yiling napped.
When she woke up, the party had already started. However, the noise of the party didn't reach the room.
How to Restore Vision Without SurgeryiFocus
As she thought that Jian Yujie might have already arrived, she hurriedly set off to the lobby.
There were many people gathered in the main lobby at this time.
Jian Yiling attempted to search for Jian Yujie in the crowd.
When Jian Yiling was focused on finding Jian Yujie, suddenly someone stepped on her foot. The footprint left a mark on her white sneakers.
"Oh! I didn't pay attention!" Ji Ming said with a smile on his face. It didn't appear that he looked apologetic at all.
Ji Ming had done it on purpose. After he had finished talking to Qiu Yizhen, he had seen Jian Yiling.
Since Ji Ming had promised to help Qiu Yizhen, he couldn't miss an opportunity like today.
As Qiu Yizhen was afraid of the blackmail that Jian Yiling had, she pulled Mo Shiyun away in advance. She asked Ji Ming to deal with Jian Yiling by himself.
Chapter 52: Party (3)
"Don't be angry that I stepped on your shoes Yiling. Why don't I repay you with myself?"
Ji Ming looked at Jian Yiling as he said this. He had a predatory smile on his face.
Jian Yiling paused for a moment before she raised her foot and slammed it onto Ji Ming's toes.
She was decisive, fierce, and ruthless.
"Ouch!!!" Ji Ming yelled.
Ji Ming's yell attracted a lot of attention.
Qiu Yizhen took this opportunity to drag Mo Shiyun over to watch the fun that was going on.
She intentionally picked a spot that wasn't too close to the scene.
Everyone saw that Ji Ming's expression was distorted. However, they were unsure of whether it was due to pain or anger.
In contrast, Jian Yiling's expression was calm and collected. She looked at him as though nothing had happened.
After Ji Ming registered what happened, he stared at Jian Yiling in fury.
How to Restore Vision Without SurgeryiFocus
Jian Yiling took two steps back. She reached out for an unopened bottle of champagne from the long table next to her. She held the bottle tightly in her hand.
At this moment, Jian Yujie rushed out.
He stood in front of Jian Yiling and separated the two people.
"Ji Ming, what are you doing?!" Jian Yujie glared at Ji Ming.
Jian Yujie and Ji Ming knew of each other. They were both from the same school.
The two of the best secondary schools in Hengyuan city were Shenghua High School and Number One Secondary School of Hengyuan. The only difference was that Shenghua High School was a private school.
Jian Yujie lived with his parents on the other side of Hengyuan City. As a result, he lived closer to the Number One Secondary School of Hengyuan. That was the reason why he attended that school.
Ji Ming shrugged his shoulders, "I didn't do anything. What can I do in this setting? I only said hello to your sister. Who would know that she would have such a big reaction? Look at my shoes! She stomped on them so hard that there is a dent in them!"
A dent appeared in the pair of AJ's that Ji Ming was wearing. It was indeed what Jian Yiling had created.
Jian Yujie turned around and looked at Ji Yiling. Then he noticed that she was holding a bottle of champagne in her hands.
"Yiling, why are you holding that bottle?"

"To fight."
"Yiling, be a good girl. Don't hold something so dangerous. As long as I'm here, Ji Ming won't bully you!"
Jian Yujie quickly took the bottle from Jian Yiling's hands.
"He stepped on me first," Jian Yiling explained.
Jian Yujie took one look at Jian Yiling's shoes. There was indeed a dusty footprint on her white sneakers.
Jian Yujie turned around and looked at Ji Ming to settle this matter. "Ji Ming, are you even a man? Are you not ashamed to say that my sister stepped on you? You obviously stepped on her first! Do you know how heavy you are compared to my sister? No matter how I see it, it's my sister who suffered a loss! She definitely felt more pain. Apologize to her!"
"Jian Yjie, you don't know how hard she stepped on me just now! And you're basing this on weight! Don't you know how much she can hurt someone? Don't tell me that you don't know Jian Yunnao is hospitalized right now?"
"Ji Ming, what nonsense are you talking about? Yunnao fell down the stairs by himself. How is this related to my sister?"
"It's because she pushed him!"
As soon as Ji Ming said this, everyone in the crowd appeared to be surprised.
They had just heard some behind-the-scene information.
How to Restore Vision Without SurgeryiFocus
Jian Yujie's expression was filled with anger. "What nonsense are you talking about? Did you eat breakfast in the toilet today?!"
"I'm not talking nonsense. Why don't you go back and ask your cousin Jian Yunnao?"
"Why do I need to ask? Yiling is right here. I can just ask her about the truth!"
"Will she admit it if she did it?"
"It doesn't matter what Yunnao says. Even if it is what you are saying right now, why do I have to believe Yunnao? Who said that the person who is injured must be telling the truth?"
Chapter 53: Party (4)
Jian Yujie didn't listen to Ji Ming no matter what he said. He wouldn't listen to someone that spoke ill of Yiling!
As Jian Yiling looked at Jian Yujie's back, her heart felt warm.
This was the first time that someone stood in front of her.
Ji Ming was also speechless. Reasoning with Jian Yujie wouldn't work at all. Especially if Jian Yujie was so fixated on the fact that Jian Yiling could do nothing wrong.
"Fine fine, I won't argue with you. If you choose to be blind and death, that's your decision. Don't come to me when you get scammed!"
"You don't need to say that! For now, you just need to apologize to Yiling!"
"Why do I need to apologize? I stepped on her and she also stepped on me. Why do I need to apologize to her?"
Ji Ming and Jian Yujie's argument grew louder and louder.
At this moment, Yu Xi appeared. "Why are you guys arguing? Are you trying to ruin my party?"
This was a party hosted by the Yu family.
Ji Ming hurriedly tried to explain, "Brother, that's not my intention. I don't want to argue. However, Jian Yujie wants me to apologize to Yiling. It was initially something small, but Jian Yujie kept going at it. I couldn't do anything about this."
How to Restore Vision Without SurgeryiFocus
Yu Xi glanced at Jian Yujie who was standing in front of Jian Yiling.
Then, he turned around to face Ji Ming and said, "If you don't apologize and disturb Master Sheng, I'm not going to deal with it."
"No... Brother, it's not my fault. It's their fault... I didn't even do anything to provoke them..."
Ji Ming furiously tried to explain to Yu Xi. He tried to make Yu Xi understand that he didn't do the wrong thing and thus, he didn't need to apologize.
"Then continue to argue. I'll take my leave. I don't want to get involved when Master Sheng gets annoyed at you."
Once Yu Xi said his words, he backed away.
The message that he didn't want to get involved was clear.
Ji Ming felt that he was wronged. How could this be his fault? It was clearly Jian Yujie who was unwilling to let go of the matter.
Then, Ji Ming glanced at Yu Xi. He remembered the words that his father told him before he left this morning. He was told to be on his best behavior.
It would be good if he could talk to Master Sheng. However, if he couldn't, the thing that he should avoid doing is provoking Master Sheng. If Master Sheng was provoked, that would cause the Ji family quite some trouble.
At the start, he had just wanted to help Qiu Yizhen. The only thing he wanted was to make Jian Yiling feel unhappy.

Ji Ming finally gave in. "Okay okay, I apologize. I shouldn't have stepped on Jian Yiling. I admit I'm wrong. Is that fine?"
After Ji Ming finished saying it, he looked at Yu Xi.
To this, Yu Xi said, "Don't look at me. You're not apologizing to me."
Thus, Ji Ming reluctantly turned to Jian Yiling and Jian Yujie and asked, "I've apologized already. What else do you want from me?"
"Nothing," Jian Yujie replied as he glared at Ji Ming. After a moment, he turned his head and pulled Jian Yiling away.
He found a relatively empty corner. Jian Yujie let Jian Yiling sit on the sofa before asking.
"Yiling, what do you want to eat? Brother will get it for you."
Jian Yiling hadn't eaten lunch yet. She was definitely going to be hungry at this point.
"Anything is fine," Jian Yiling replied. She wasn't picky about food.
"Then I'll go pick for you."
Jian Yujie quickly walked to the dessert section. He picked up a lychee and raspberry tart, a few sea salt caramel puffs, a strawberry napoleon, and a bowl of fruit yogurt.
How to Restore Vision Without SurgeryiFocus
Jian Yujie knew that Jian Yiling wasn't picky with food. However, when it came to eating, she preferred sweet foods.
After getting the food, Jian Yujie quickly returned.
He was worried that if he left for a long time, someone would come by and bother Jian Yiling again.
Whilst, Jian Yiling concentrated on eating the food, Jian Yujie sat next to her and told her interesting news that was happening.
While Jian Yiling and Jian Yujie were focused on eating, the rest of the people at the party were all wondering where Master Sheng was.
As the Qiu family had good relations with the Yu family, Qiu Yizhen went up to Yu Xi and asked, "Where is Master Sheng?"
Chapter 54: Party (5)
"You do know that I organized this party and not Master Sheng."
Yu Xi had never said on the invitation that Master Sheng would be present.
They had just imagined that themselves.
"No, but isn't Master Sheng..."
Although the invitation didn't say Master Sheng would be present, there was no other reason for hosting a party. Especially at this time and location.
Wasn't it natural for everyone to think that Master Sheng would be present?
Yu Xi didn't explain the reason behind this party. It was indeed a party hosted for Master Sheng.
This was because the Zhai family had ordered him to introduce a girl to Master Sheng.
If he didn't do anything, that'd be not listening to the orders of the Zhai family. He still wanted to live a few more years of his life.
However, there was not much that he could do.
Yu Xi had to get Zhai Yunsheng's consent to organize this party. After getting his consent, he had invited various men and women around their age to have fun at the Yu Residence.
How to Restore Vision Without SurgeryiFocus
He planned to take a few photos and videos to send to Master Zhai.
He was only responsible for arranging the party. Whether or not Master Sheng could find a girl he liked wasn't something he could control. Master Zhai couldn't hold him accountable for that.
And as for whether or not Master Sheng will appear, that really depended on his mood.
It was impossible for Yu Xi to drag him out.
Qiu Yizhen was a little disappointed. She had thought that she could see Master Sheng today.
However, she didn't even get to see his silhouette.
"Oh, by the way, I'll introduce you to a good friend of mine. Her name is Mo Shiyun. She is also from the top class of Shenghua High School."
When Yu Xi still studied at Shenghua High School, he was part of the top class as well. His marks had always been at the top of the year group.
"Hello, Mr. Yu Xi." Mo Shiyun greeted in a humble and courteous manner.
With Mo Shiyun's current gestures and actions, no one would ever be able to guess that she was the daughter of a servant. She didn't seem out of place at all.
Compared to Ji Ming, Yu Xi had a different reaction. He didn't particularly pay attention to Mo Shiyun. Instead, he replied to Qiu Yizhen, "Take your friend to have some fun. I have something else to do."

Yu Xi rushed off to take some photos and videos. This was going to be sent off to Master Zhai. It was an important task for him!
After Yu Xi left, Mo Shiyun turned around and asked Qiu Yizhen, "Is Master Sheng really that mysterious?"
Mo Shiyun wasn't someone from inside the circle. She didn't know much about Master Sheng.
"He's quite mysterious to us! My dad went to visit him a few days ago. Although he saw Master Sheng, he didn't get to say many words to him. And the entire time my dad was sweating furiously."
That day, Qiu Liyao mostly played billiards.
"Not even Chairman Qiu can talk to him?"
"What are you think? My dad could only meet him because he has a good relationship with Uncle Yu. I don't think that even Jian Yiling's grandpa could see him if he wanted to!"
Although Qiu Yizhen disliked Jian Yiling, she had to admit that Jian Yiling's family's social standing was stronger than the Qiu family.
Mo Shiyun lived at the Jian family. She knew a little about the strength and size of the Jian family.
"Then doesn't he need to attend school? I remember you said that he's only nineteen years old."
"In theory, he should be in his second last year of school. However, he decided to defer study."
How to Restore Vision Without SurgeryiFocus
"Why did he defer study?"
"I don't know," Qiu Yizhen replied. She didn't know much information about what was going on. She had only heard a few stories regarding Master Sheng.
Qiu Yizhen leaned into Mo Shiyun and whispered into her ear, "I think it's because he doesn't have good health. I heard that for the first year of senior school, he only attended for a few days. And then, he deferred his studies entirely."
"Ah, that's a pity." Mo Shiyun commented.
Chapter 54: Meet Shen Xue Again
After saying that, Emily carefully glanced at Shen Yu. She was afraid that Shen Yu would be unhappy. They were buying things for her, but she kept rejecting them. She kept feeling that she had made a mistake.
"Don't worry. These things won't cost much. Moreover, my money is your money, so you don't have to save it for me."
Shen Yu smiled and rubbed Emily's head. If it was possible, he wanted to give the whole world to her.
"No, my mother said that we can't waste it like this. Besides, the Shen family has already done a lot for me. If I do that, I'll be spoiled."
Emily frowned. Her chubby little face was so cute even though she frowned.
Shen Yu couldn't help it. He reached out his hand to touch Emily's frowning brows and said softly, "The Shen family is willing to treat you well because you're worth it. Besides, so what if you're spoiled?"
At this moment, Emily felt that Shen Yu's body was emitting a dazzling light.
"Alright, such a smart little head. How can you not understand such a simple principle? You'll understand it in the future. Let's go find Second Aunt first." After Shen Yu said that, he pulled Emily forward.
Looking at Shen Yu holding her hand tightly, Emily felt an indescribable sense of relief.
"Brother Yu!"
Emily's thoughts were suddenly disrupted by a familiar voice. While she was still confused, Shen Yu quickened his pace and Emily hurriedly followed him.
How to Restore Vision Without SurgeryiFocus
"Brother Yu, do you hate me so much? You don't even want to greet me after seeing me?"
Suddenly, a figure rushed in front of Emily and Shen Yu and blocked their way.
Shen Xue?
Emily felt that she and Shen Xue were really fated. She had only come out twice, but every time, she would run into Shen Xue.
The first time was at the hospital, and this time, they actually ran into each other again.
"Sister Xue."
Emily called Shen Xue obediently. Although she could clearly feel that Shen Xue did not like her, she still had to be polite.
Shen Xue acted as if she did not hear Emily's words. Her gaze was fixed on Shen Yu.
Seeing that Shen Yu did not look at her and did not intend to pay any attention to her, Shen Xue was even angrier.
"Brother Yu, are you still angry with me? I really did not do it on purpose. I did not know that what I said would cause Brother Nan to misunderstand." Shen Xue's eyes suddenly turned red.
"Sister Xue, don't cry." Emily was anxious when she saw that Shen Xue was about to cry.

Shen Xue looked at Emily, who was next to Shen Yu, in confusion. Could it be that none of them had told Shen Yu and Emily about what had happened in the Shen family?
Or was Emily too good at hiding it?
"Millie, I really didn't tell Brother Nan anything when we went back that day. But the people in the family didn't believe me. They all thought that I had misled Brother Nan and that was why Brother Nan chased you out of the Shen family. You have to believe me. I really didn't tell Brother Nan anything."
Shen Xue grabbed Emily's hand. As she spoke, tears fell from her eyes. She felt very wronged.
"Sister Xue, no one at home said anything about what you said. Sixth Brother had already apologized to me that day."
Emily hurriedly pulled her hand away. Perhaps Shen Xue was too agitated. In a short while, the place that was grabbed by Shen Xue was already red, leaving behind a few handprints.
Shen Yu naturally saw Emily's small actions, especially when he saw Emily's wrist that was completely red from being grabbed by Shen Xue. His face instantly darkened.
Shen Yu pulled Emily behind him and looked down at Shen Xue. He looked at Shen Xue, who was crying like a pear blossom in the rain. He did not feel the slightest bit of pity for her. Instead, he felt disgusted.
This was Shen Xue's usual trick. She would cry whenever she spoke. Just looking at her made people hate her.
Shen Xue was stunned by Shen Yu's actions. Was Shen Yu protecting Emily?
The seed of jealousy in Shen Xue's heart sprouted again. Why? She was Shen Yu's younger sister. Emily was just a beggar picked up by Shen Yan.
How to Restore Vision Without SurgeryiFocus
Shen Yu saw the trace of viciousness in Shen Xue's eyes clearly. He looked at Shen Xue with some contempt and said coldly, "Don't follow us."
"No, you're my brother. Don't you want me?" Shen Xue immediately said. She didn't want Shen Yu to leave, especially with Emily. She was his sister. Shen Yu should be protecting her.
"I don't have a sister."
Chapter 55: Tutoring on Sunday
After the party ended, Jian Yujie sent Jian Yiling home.
He could only rest assured when Jian Yiling entered the house and saw Grandma Jian.
Jian Yujie smiled and waved to Jian Yiling, "Yiling, I'll leave now. If you have anything to talk to me about, contact me on WeChat!"
After Jian Yujie left, Jian Yiling returned to her room. She found out that the corridor outside her room was piled up with things.
In confusion, Jian Yiling looked back at the servant who was following her.
The servant explained, "The pile on the left that looks pink and fluffy were gifts from young master Yujie. The ones on the right that were piled neatly were sent by your eldest brother. As we didn't know what you wanted to do with them, we left in them in the corridor. We wanted to wait until you picked a few you liked before putting the rest in your bedroom or the cloakroom."
When Jian Yiling had arrived at the old Jian Residence, the cloakroom was initially empty. However, in recent days, thanks to the 'efforts' of Grandma Jian, half the cloakroom was already full.
And now that there were so many things here, the entire cloakroom was soon going to be full.
Jian Yuncheng had arrived a while ago. He had brought a lot of things with him.
She could clearly tell which were sent by Jian Yujie and which were sent by Jian Yuncheng. Jian Yujie's gifts were fluffy and cute. They included plushies and other soft toys.
Jian Yiling went to open the gifts sent by Jian Yuncheng.
How to Restore Vision Without SurgeryiFocus
In the boxes were neatly stacked clothes and shoes. There were also various items that Jian Yiling would use in her day to day life. From the way the items were arranged, Jian Yiling could tell that her mother organized them. A man couldn't organize these things in such an orderly matter.
There was another box that contained various nutritional products.
There was a handwritten note on top of the box. The writing was elegant.
The note detailed how to consume every nutrition product. It instructed Jian Yiling on all the situations that she could encounter throughout the day.
###
On Sunday, Qin Chuan arrived at the Old Jian Residence.
The housekeeper didn't bring him directly to Jian Yiling. Instead, the housekeeper brought him to see Grandma Jian.
Grandma Jian requested to not have a tight tuition schedule today and asked him to give Jian Yiling more leisure time.
Grandma Jian wanted her darling to be happy and healthy.
She didn't see the point in getting her only granddaughter to study hard all day long.
Jian Yuncheng found someone to tutor Jian Yiling because he didn't want his sister to be too wild. He wanted her to put her mind on the right things.
How to Restore Vision Without SurgeryiFocusShould You Buy an Electric Car?ProgressiveIs My Space a Good Fit for Airbnb?Airbnb
And thus, as long as Jian Yiling didn't cause trouble, there was no need to study hard every single day. Studying excessively was not a good thing.
Qin Chuan didn't decline Grandma Jian's request. When he received the task of tutoring, Jian Yuncheng had told him that there was no need for Jian Yiling to improve in academics. It was important for her to not be exhausted. The only thing that he needed to focus on was making sure that her temper dies down. At the same time, the classes were something to keep her mind off random things.
Qin Chuan's impression of Jian Yiling was that she was a very quiet girl. He didn't know what little girls liked doing.
And thus, Grandma Jian got the housekeeper to bring Qin Chuan into the courtyard. There were grapevines entwined in the lattices around them.
The servants prepared the two people some tea and fruit.
The textbooks were pushed to a corner.
In their previous meetings, Qin Chuan and Jian Yiling got along quite well. The only thing was that Jian Yiling appeared a little afraid of him.
Qin Chuan had no idea why he appeared scary to Jian Yiling.
If she didn't need to talk to him, she definitely wouldn't speak to him.
And even when she spoke, she limited her words.
What Qin Chuan didn't know was, Jian Yiling wasn't actually scared of him. She simply didn't want to talk to him, nor interact with him.
How to Restore Vision Without SurgeryiFocus
For Jian Yiling, she felt uncomfortable being too close to a man that she was unfamiliar with. Especially if that man was Qin Chuan.
