Chapter 71: The Worries of the Mo Family
Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales
During the time Jian Yuncheng left the Jian Residence, Mo Shiyun had started arguing with her mother in their nearby cabin.
"Mother, please don't do this kind of thing next time. I already promised you that I'll prepare a gift," Mo Shiyun said whilst frowning. Her tone sounded rather helpless.
"What are you talking about?" Aunt Mo replied in a confused tone.
"Young master Yuncheng's gift. You shouldn't have done that."
"Wait. Didn't you prepare that gift?" Aunt Mo asked back. Her expression appeared to be surprised.
Mo Shiyun discovered from her mother's expression that her mother was indeed unaware of the situation.
"You didn't do it? Then...." Mo Shiyun trailed off in bewilderment.
"I assumed the gift was prepared by you. I don't think anyone else in the Jian family would have considered preparing a gift... So... Mother thought... Ahhhh... Was it not your gift?"
Both of them were in shock,
They had assumed that the other person had done it. However, now they discovered that wasn't the case.

Then, Aunt Mo panicked, "What do we do now? Will we be discovered?"
Mo Shiyun frowned as she thought carefully about the situation.
When Aunt Mo saw her daughter's expression, she began to blame herself, "This is all my fault. I shouldn't have suggested that you prepare a gift. From the beginning, it was just an extra burden for you to bear. And now... And now it's caused trouble..."
When Mo Shiyun saw her mother's guilty expression, she couldn't help but feel bad as well.
"Mother, forget it. Don't blame yourself either. You're doing things for my good."
Mo Shiyun attempted to comfort her mother.
However, Aunt Mo started to worry. "What if the person who gave the gift turned up? If they do, wouldn't they realize that we're lying? And if they found out, would young master Yuncheng kick us out? I can't lose this job... If I do, how do I pay for your university tuition..."
"Mother, it'll be fine. In a while, I'll finish knitting a sweater. Then I'll take a few photos of the sweater to keep as proof. I'll then throw a similar paper bag into the bushes of the garden. At that time, we'll have a valid explanation."
Although this wasn't the best thing to do, she couldn't change the past. Mistakes had already been made. The only thing that she could do now was to find a way to make up for it.
She couldn't let her mother lose this job. The job was incredibly important to her mother.
Her mother already worked incredibly hard to take care of her and make sure she could go to school.

After she heard Mo Shiyun's words, Aunt Mo's mood improved significantly.
However, a moment later, Aunt Mo started to speak in a remorseful tone, "It's all my fault. Your mother is useless. I'm always dragging you down. You even have to worry about these small things... If I were a little more competent, you wouldn't have to live such a life..."
Aunt Mo always felt that she owed her daughter. Due to her inability, her daughter had to suffer with her.
Mo Shiyun's heart was moved as she gazed at her mother.
"Mother, don't say such things. You're already working incredibly hard. Look at your own hands..." Mo Shiyun said as she grabbed at her mother's coarse hands. Her heart ached when she saw them.
In terms of age, her mother was seven to eight years younger than Madam Wen Nuan.
However, when her mother stood together with Wen Nuan, Wen Nuan appeared to look ten years younger.
Wen Nuan was born into a good family. After she grew up, she also married well. She lived like royalty and didn't have a single worry in her life.
In contrast, Aunt Mo was born into a poor family. She didn't get much of an education. Later, she also married a bastard who cheated on her a few years after marriage. The man left his wife and daughter to fend for themselves.
Mo Shiyun understood where her mother was coming from. Her mother didn't want her to follow her old path. This was precisely why she desperately tried to get her to attend a good school and meet outstanding individuals. She didn't want her daughter to follow her footsteps.

"Don't worry mother. I'll study hard and get into a good university. I'll make sure that you will live a good life in the future. Trust me. After I get into university, you don't have to work so hard anymore."
Mo Shiyun continued to comfort her mother.
After a while, Aunt Mo's emotions finally eased.
Following which, Aunt Mo asked Mo Shiyun, "Oh, by the way, have you seen Miss Yiling at school recently?"
As Jian Yiling went to the Old Jian Residence, Aunt Mo lost the opportunity to be in contact with her.
"Mother, I'm in my final year of senior high whilst she's in her first year of senior high. We're in different teaching blocks. If there weren't any special circumstances, it's impossible for me to see her."
"Ahh..." Aunt Mo replied. There was a flash of disappointment that passed in her mother's eyes.
"Mother, why did you ask this? Is there something wrong?" Mo Shiyun queried.
"No, no, nothing at all. After all, Miss Yiling isn't at home. I'm just quite worried about her," Aunt Mo quickly explained.
The deal she had with He Yan would be kept between the two of them. She was never going to get her daughter involved. If someone had to go to hell, she would go alone.

The next day was Tuesday. It was also the date for the second monthly examination of first-year senior high students.
In the first year of senior high, the students weren't split up according to their unit/subject selection. As a result, they had to do exams for nine subjects. This included Language, Mathematics, English, Physics, Biology, Chemistry, Politics, History, and Geography.
Furthermore, the exams were to be completed in the span of two days. As a result, the students barely had time to breathe.
However, during this busy time, there was also 'big news' that attracted most of the students' attention.
There was a confession on the Shenghua High School campus forum.
The title of the post was: [Come and watch! Someone is confessing at the gates! The person being confessed to is Jian Yiling!]
After you clicked into the post, there were numerous photos that showed the situation.
Someone had placed flowers, balloons, and banners up at the school gate.
The content of the banner was quite straightforward and frank. Jian Yiling, I like you. You're my star and you're my moon. You're my only salvation.
And finally, there was a photo of a boy holding a bouquet.

The boy was rather thin. His hair appeared dyed and his hairstyle was spiked up with hair gel.
With numerous piercings and ripped jeans, he gave off the impression of a juvenile delinquent.
Immediately, someone followed up the post.
[Wow, what's this situation? Is Jian Yiling dating?]
[Doesn't seem like she's dating. It seems like someone is chasing after her.]
[Who is this man? He's definitely not from our school! His hairstyle is distasteful. Who dyes and gels their hair like that?]
[Oh my god. What taste in men does Jian Yiling even have? Why does she like the juvenile delinquent type? {Vomit}]
[I want to swear at someone. Why is this bad person in front of our school gates? What kind of joke is this? Who does Jian Yiling even hang out with on a day to day basis? Why is this sort of person confessing to her?]
[Don't talk about her like that. It's someone confessing to her and not the other way around!]
[I don't agree with you. I don't see someone else confessing to another person at our school. If she didn't do anything with him, why would he confess to her? No one would confess just because he took one look at her! Even flies wouldn't bite an egg without a cranny.]
[God knows what she does on a day to day basis. We go to school every day and basically have no time to meet other people. However, she would have time.]

[My god, my eyes... This delinquent is definitely not someone good. For Jian Yiling to get together with this type of person.... Errr... I honestly don't know what to say.]
Chapter 73: A Confession with Malicious Intent (2)
[Don't say that. They aren't actually together.]
[How can you say that? To be involved together is already a relationship... If Jian Yiling didn't do something, why would the guy chase her to the gates of our school? For real... I don't even know how to describe the situation. If two words were to express my feelings right now, they'd be: Ha Ha.]
[Where is the director of the school? Shouldn't they deal with this matter? This will reflect poorly on the image of our school. If other people didn't know the situation, they'd assume that our school is shady or something.]
The number of replies on the post had skyrocketed to over a hundred.
As Qiu Yizhen watched the post increase in popularity, she turned over her phone with a smile.
Her mood became especially good when she saw some of the replies on the post.
Although Qiu Yizhen couldn't cause trouble for Jian Yiling directly, she could still do some things that would put dirt on her name!
Behind Qiu Yizhen, her two followers were also amused:
"Sister Qiu, this time we will definitely make Jian Yiling suffer. Brother Ming specifically searched for this delinquent! He's known for being a lowlife! As long as Jian Yiling has any relations with him, her reputation will..."
Before she even finished the sentence, the smile on her face grew. It was visible that she was excited.
"Heh, she won't dare think that she's good anymore."

Qiu Yizhen's voice was filled with mockery. She felt disgusted whenever she thought about Jian Yiling's self-righteous image.
"And besides, the school will probably have to talk to her if more people notice this. Our school pays a lot of attention to their image," the other follower said whilst snickering.
To be dating a delinquent at this age! And for him to come to the gate of their school! Tsk tsk tsk.
Qiu Yuzhen suddenly had another thought, "Hey, you two, go and post those photos on the Internet. Didn't Jian Yiling post my video on the Internet and make a big deal out of it last time? It's time to pay her back for the favor. Let the school pay attention to this!"
"Sure thing! We'll go post it right away."
The posts on the school forum were also circulated by them.

As Jian Yiling was currently sitting her exams and didn't have the habit of paying attention to the school forum, she only heard about the situation when it was close to the end of school. Hu Jiaojiao had come over to tell her what happened.
"Jian Yiling, Jian Yiling. Bad news!!!" Hu Jiaojiao cried out as she grabbed at her arm.
Everyone was split off into different rooms when they took exams. As a result, Hu Jiaojiao didn't have a chance to talk to Jian Yiling until now.
Jian Yiling turned around and looked at Hu Jiaojiao quizzically.

"Look at this first," Hu Jiaojiao said. She quickly showed her mobile phone to Jian Yiling.
Of course, Jian Yiling didn't recognize the man who was holding a bouquet of roses.
However, when she took a look at the situation, she knew that someone probably had set her up.
They wanted to use these methods to embarrass her.
To be dating at a young age was one thing. However, to be dating with a delinquent was another. If this news were to be spread, it'd be incredibly bad for her reputation.
"Jian Yiling?" Hu Jiaojiao asked carefully. Her voice quivered a little with worry.
"I don't know him," Jian Yiling replied. She still appeared to be quite calm.
"I also thought that you wouldn't know him. However..."
Hu Jiaojiao felt that Jian Yiling was a little too proud and haughty at times. But in this situation, it was because she was like that, it was unlikely for her to associate with such people.
However, the rest of the students in the school didn't think that way. They all had an incredibly bad impression of her.
Hu Jiaojiao was incredibly worried about how Jian Yiling would deal with the situation. When school ended, what would happen if she met that man at the school gates?
Chapter 74: Protect Yiling (1)
Yu Residence
Yu Xi scrolled through his phone in boredom.
Today, Master Sheng didn't go outside. As a result, he had to stay at home with him.
In his boredom, Yu Xi opened the Shenghua High School Forum.
Ever since he saw the post on Jian Yiling last time, he would check the forum from time to time.
Abruptly, he saw another popular post that was related to Jian Yiling.
And it was a confession!
"What the hell? Where did this brat come from? Yiling is still so young. What does he want with her?" Yu Xi exclaimed as he scrolled through his phone.
Zhai Yunheng was sitting next to him. Previously, he had been furiously typing away on his computer but when he heard what Yu Xi said, he had abruptly stopped.
"What are you saying?"
"I'm talking about the girl next door. Yiling. Someone left a bunch of flowers and balloons in front of the school to confess to her. There's also a banner!"
How to Restore Vision Without SurgeryiFocus
Whilst Yu Xi was answering, he flicked through the photos.
When he reached the last photo, he saw a picture of the man who was confessing.
The man had shifty looking eyes. He appeared to look malnourished and seemed to look like a juvenile delinquent.
"What the hell?"
Yu Xi suddenly jumped up from the sofa.
"What is this? This piece of trash wants to confess to Yiling? Why doesn't he take a piss and take a good look at himself in the reflection?!" Yu Xi cried out in disgust. All the profanity and foul language that he knew surged through his mind.
"Pass me."
As soon as Zhai Yunsheng spoke, Yu Xi quickly offered him his phone.
Silently, Zhai Yunsheng flicked through the post.
"Heh," Zhai Yunsheng sneered.

In the laboratory, Cheng Yi received a message from Jian Yiling.
[Borrow me two security guards.]
The contract that Jian Yiling signed with the Huiling Medical Research Institution stated that the institution would be responsible for the safety of its members.
The security of the research institution couldn't be underestimated. This was due to the fact that the talent and equipment in the institution were priceless. One could say that it was more valuable than the reserves in certain vaults and banks.
Furthermore, to the institution, the researchers were also incredibly prized.
And thus, the institution stated that they would be responsible for the safety of their researchers!
Although Jian Yiling hadn't yet officially joined them, the contract was effective from the time they had signed it.
As a matter of fact, they had just signed the contract this morning! They had signed it when Jian Yiling had arrived at school.
The Huiling Medical Research Institution was afraid that if they delayed the signing, Jian Yiling might be signed by another research institution. Undue delay often caused hitches to occur.
That was the reason they had prepared the contract overnight. Early in the morning, they had arrived at Shenghua to wait for Jian Yiling to sign the contract.
Cheng Yi was quite shocked to receive a message from Jian Yiling. He quickly responded:
How to Restore Vision Without SurgeryiFocus
[What happened?]
[I'm in some trouble.]
[Where are you right now?] Cheng Yi asked hurriedly.
[School.]
[Wait there. I'll send someone over right now. Don't be scared.]
Cheng Yi didn't know what troubles Jian Yiling was facing to need security personnel.
However, since she sent a message to him, it was evident that she needed help.
Cheng Yi quickly put down the work at hand.
Usually, it was enough to just send security personnel over. However, Cheng Yi was quite worried about the situation.
When he thought about someone bullying Jian Yiling, he couldn't help but feel responsible to rescue the small and cute girl. She was the only 'real' female researcher in their institution. It was important for him to ensure the safety of their youngest member.
Just when Cheng Yi was about to leave, he got stopped by his colleague Luo Xiuen. Luo Xiuen was the other female researcher in the institute.

Before Jian Yiling's signing, Xiuen was the only female researcher at their institute. However, she was only considered female because of her gender... If they were to talk in terms of psychology and strength...
Chapter 75: Protect Yiling (2)
"What are you doing? This is an emergency!"
Luo Xiuen had grabbed Cheng Yi by the collar before she forcibly dragged him back. She had pulled back a man that was 1.8 meters in height with a single hand.
Luo Xiuen's height was around 1.76 meters. Her height was a bit taller than that of an average man.
Her body was fit and in shape. At the moment, the white coat she wore had covered her physique. However, Cheng Yi had seen her at the gym. As he watched her work out, he had felt inferior and ashamed of himself.
"Sister En, please let go! I have an emergency to deal with," Cheng Yi said in a hurry.
"What's the emergency?" Luo Xiuen asked. She stopped joking with Cheng Yi when she saw that he was indeed anxious and getting quite angry.
"The new girl we signed a contract with is in a bit of trouble. I'm heading over there to help."
"What?! Then what are you waiting for? Why are you dawdling around?! Are you even a man!"
Without any further ado, Luo Xiuen dragged Cheng Yi out the door.
It was not every day that the research institute signed a prodigy. Jian Yiling had published a paper under the institute's name on the first day she had joined.
As of now, all the older researchers were excited about the new thesis that had been submitted to the academic institution. In their excitement, they had forgotten to eat and drink.
How to Restore Vision Without SurgeryiFocus
And someone dared to cause trouble for their talented newbie?
She, Luo Xiuen, would be the first to disagree with that!
Cheng Yi couldn't say a single word. He had been delayed by her, yet... He was called dawdling...
"Umm... Sister En. I need to bring two security guards..."
"Why do you need security guards? Is older sister not good enough?"
"Sure it's enough... But..."
Luo Xiuen was indeed enough. She could probably fight an entire group of security personnel. That was a fact that Cheng Yi didn't dare to doubt.
"However, isn't it better to bring a few more people to support us?"
"Oh, you're right! Then why are we only bringing two? We should bring all of them! Bring out all the bulletproof cars at our terminal! We need to show that girl the strength of the security force is at Huiling!"
You couldn't compare their research institute with any small research center.
If they were to brag a little, then they'd declare that no one in the entirety of Hengyuan City would dare to mess their institution.

Of course, this disregarded the situation in which someone had the confidence that they and their loved ones would never get sick. But who had confidence in that?
###
After Jian Yiling sent the message to Cheng Yi, she had received a text from another person.
[Dr. F.S, it seems as though you're in a little trouble. I can help you deal with them. I'll ensure that you won't ever have to hear about the matter again. Just treat it as a deposit. Of course, if you want, we can do much more than just that.]
As soon as the other party had discovered that Jian Yiling was in some trouble, they had immediately sent her a message. This was done in an attempt to convince Jian Yiling to agree to what they had mentioned to her before.
[No need, thank you.] Jian Yiling replied. She was straightforward and blunt in her rejection.
[Dr. F.S, is it really that difficult for you to agree with that matter?] The other party replied helplessly. It seemed as though they really needed the help of Jian Yiling.
[I'm not available for the time being.]
[Dr. F.S, we really need your help. This is related to the life of our Master. As long as you can help him, we'll meet any conditions you ask.]
[No thanks.]
Her reply remained simple and concise. She didn't seem moved at all by the other party's offer.
How to Restore Vision Without SurgeryiFocus
Two security personnel from Cheng Yi were enough to deal with the trouble at the school gates. Jian Yiling didn't need more help from anyone else.
As the other party had failed to persuade Jian Yiling, they had stopped sending her messages.
It was obvious that the other party didn't want to make Jian Yiling angry. Although they needed her help, they weren't planning to force her.
However, it was also obvious that the other party wasn't going to give up any opportunity to contact Jian Yiling.
