Chuanbei, Jing residenceâ¦
After a short conversation, the Jing family members could feel the tension in the air and thought,?Donât make a mess of things.
Sixth Master is still resting. If he found out that Miss Xu was wronged in his house, he would probably explode.
Actually, Yin Changge knew very well that Jing Hanchuan looked down on her, so it was impossible for them to be together. Therefore, she had never put on an act in front of him and only wanted to stand out in the professional aspect. It was just that she was unhappy that a girl in ordinary clothes could come and fawn on him.
Her aura was alright, but she was dressed really casually.
And she seemed to be very familiar with the Jing family.
These people donât even smile at me, but theyâre actually so attentive to her?
Actually, the side hall wasnât soundproof. When Duan Linbai heard a familiar voice, he put down the poker cards and went out to take a look at the situation. He happened to hear their conversation, and his heart skipped a beat.
Is Miss Xu going to be bullied?
He was still thinking about whether he should be the hero saving the damsel in distress. No matter what, she was his future sister-in-law. It wouldnât be kind to watch her be bullied.
Just as Yin Changge thought that her words had attacked Xu Yuanfei, she heard her say lightly:
âSo youâre not familiar with him. No wonder Iâve never seen you before.
âIâve seen many of his friends, but Iâve never seen you.
âI think itâs because you two arenât familiar with each other.â
Duan Linbai almost laughed out loud.?This reply is really ruthless.
Yin Changge didnât expect Xu Yuanfei to counterattack. She was stunned for a moment but still smiled. âBut I come to the Jing residence often. My name is Yin Changge. Iâm Mrs. Jingâs disciple. Itâs a pleasure to meet you.â
Xu Yuanfei calmly reached out her hand. The two women shook hands briefly. âXu Yuanfei.â
She knew that Sheng Aiyi had many disciples. Everyone said that parents could have completely different children, let alone disciples.
Duan Linbai leaned against the door of the side hall and peeked at the situation here.
It was said that wherever there were women, there would be disputes. As expected, the atmosphere was full of tension.
âMiss Xu, hereâs the cup you wanted.â A Jing family member walked over and tried to separate the two of them.
Xu Yuanfei thanked him and took the cup. She looked at Yin Changge calmly. âThank you for your kind reminder just now, Miss Yin. Sixth Master really doesnât like to be disturbed, nor does he like to be fawned over, butâ¦
âThis kind of thing depends on the person. It depends on this personâs relationship with Sixth Master.
âPerhaps itâs just as you said, Miss Yin. Youâre not familiar with Sixth Master yet, so there are some things youâre unclear about.â
Yin Changgeâs smile froze.?This womanâ¦
Sheâs so ruthless with her words.
From beginning to end, Xu Yuanfei maintained a kind smile. Who didnât know how to speak artistically? Yin Changge wanted people not to be able to find any mistakes, yet she also wanted to stab at her heart. Speaking like thatâ¦
She could also do it.
âMiss Xu?â a Jing family member reminded. âIâll bring you upstairs.â
Xu Yuanfei was very soft-spoken when they were around. They didnât expect her to be someone not to be trifled with.
âThatâs too troublesome. Iâve been upstairs before, so I can find it. You guys go ahead. I wonât trouble you.â Xu Yuanfei smiled at Yin Changge and said goodbye before walking upstairs.
Been upstairs before??Yin Changge had known the Jing family for many years, but she had never been upstairs. Outsiders were forbidden from entering this private area.
Xu Yuanfeiâs words really stabbed her heart.
They were ruthless and accurate.
Duan Linbai was speechless.?I thought Miss Xu would be bullied and was ready to watch a good show, but itâs over just like that?
Her actions were too clean and neat. Moreover, it was an effortless victory. She had the aura of an empress. This young lady had mocked her between the lines. She had found the wrong person.
âLinbai, are you playing anymore?â Fu Sinian was a little impatient.?He went out to watch a show halfway through the game. Why does he like to join in the fun so much?
âHey, let me tell you. Just nowâ¦â Duan Linbai was worried that Yin Changge would hear him, so he deliberately lowered his voice and told him about the battle just now. âI was so worried that these two would start fighting. You donât know how tense the atmosphere was just now.â
âIt wouldnât be a fight.â Jiang Ershao was speechless.
âWhy?â Duan Linbai frowned.
âIâve seen Miss Xu knock down a burly man in one go. If she really made a move, she would probably kill that person.â Jiang Ershao sighed. âIt would definitely end before it even started.â
âThatâs true.â Duan Linbai had almost forgotten that Xu Yuanfei was also a formidable martial arts expert. Her combat strength was still unknown.
Fu Sinian was about to urge him to play cards, but he didnât expect him to mutter, âNo wonder she can play crazily with our Liuliu until he canât get out of bed.â
Fu Sinian placed the poker cards on the table. When Jing Hanchuan recovered, he would definitely be the first to cut him. âAre you done? If you donât want to play, letâs go.â

In the living roomâ¦
Yin Changge didnât expect to be attacked, and the counterattack was so skillful that she couldnât even refute it and could only endure the blow.
At this moment, the Jing family members couldnât sit still anymore. Yin Changgeâs words were full of gunpowder. If Sixth Master found out, this matter probably wouldnât end well. Coupled with her relationship with Sheng Aiyi, it would probably cause a lot of trouble.
So after much considerationâ¦
âMiss Yin, itâs getting late. Master and Madam probably wonât be back anytime soon. Lookâ¦â
Isnât it time to go?
Yin Changge understood what the Jing family members meant.
But at this moment, she was in a dilemma. On the one hand, she wanted to see her master and was worried about her future being cut off. On the other hand, it was too embarrassing after being criticized just now.
Just as she was hesitating, Duan Linbai walked out of the side hall. When he saw her, his eyes narrowed. âWhy havenât you left yet?â
Yin Changge was embarrassed. âYoung Master Duan.â
âYouâve been waiting for a long time. Youâre Auntâs disciple. If thereâs anything, just call her directly. Why have you been waiting here?â
Duan Linbai was also a smart person. From her attitude, he knew that she must have offended Sheng Aiyi. She didnât dare to look for her directly, so she came here to block her.
âIf you have anything to say, you two can just say it in private. There are so many people in the Jing residence today. I donât think itâs convenient to talk about anything.â
âItâs getting dark. Why donât you leave early?â
Duan Linbai wasnât a member of the Jing family, so he didnât have to be polite with her and directly chased her out.
No matter how thick-skinned Yin Changge was, she couldnât stay any longer. She picked up her bag from the side. âYouâre right. Iâll come another day. Goodbye.â
When she walked out of the Jing residence, she suddenly remembered that Sheng Aiyi had asked Jing Hanchuan how he was doing with Little Boss Xu.
Xu??She turned her head to look at the door of the Jing residence and pursed her lips tightly. The cold wind blew, and her eyes were cold.
***
At this moment, Xu Yuanfei was already upstairs. Actually, she had never been to Jing Hanchuanâs bedroom before, but it was easy to find. The door was closed. When she pushed the door open and entered, the heating in the room was even warmer than in the corridor. There was also a humidifier and the sound of a movie.
His room was so neat that it was hair-raising. Other than the bed and the closet, there was only a large projector screen. At this moment, the movie âMr. and Mrs. Smithâ was playing on it.
Jing Hanchuan had already fallen asleep. The room had white walls and a black bed. Other than the two red goldfish on the bedside table, the entire room was colorless.
His face was pale, and he actually looked a little weak on the black bed.
She placed the thermos flask and cup she had brought on the bedside table. Seeing his pale face, she was about to reach out to check the temperature on his forehead when someone suddenly grabbed her wristâ¦
The person whose eyes were originally closed suddenly opened them. His fingers were warm as he gently held her wrist.
His voice was hoarse.
âYuanfeiâ¦â
His voice was low and seemed to be whispering into her ear.
He had never called her name so gently before, making her heart tremble. âYes, Iâm here.â
Jing Hanchuan had been taking cold medicine recently, so his consciousness was always a little blurry. At this moment, he narrowed his eyes, not knowing if it was reality or a dreamâ¦
âHave you been angry recently?â His voice was very hoarse.
She needed to be very close to hear his whisper.
âNo.â Xu Yuanfei was originally indignant and wanted to ask him for an explanation. At this moment, she was no longer angry and wished she could suffer in his place.
âI missed youâ¦â His hoarse voice made her heart pound wildly.
Her heart softened uncontrollably as she gently held his hand.

On another side, Fu Chen was still doing a final report with Song Fengwan. He was holding a book in his hand and looked down at his watch. âYouâre not finished yet?â
âOne more thing.â Song Fengwan was also very depressed. The class monitor had informed her too late, and she had to submit her report at eight tonight.
âIn that case, Iâll go see Hanchuan.â
