“Hehe.”
Chu Jingyi chuckled, “I warned you before: don’t be impulsive. My little brother is famously ruthless when he turns on someone. Shi Huan is his secretary; you wore the dress he gifted you, then deliberately spilled wine on it, embarrassing her in public. You planned to insult my brother, didn’t you? It’s no surprise that he’s angered and holding a grudge against your family. Can’t you understand that?”
“What should I do now, Sister Jingyi?” Luo Yiyi stomped anxiously, “You were the one who told me to approach Secretary Shi yesterday. All I did was spill some wine on her dress…”
Before she finished, Chu Jingyi cut her off. “Yesterday, I merely informed you that Shi Huan was my brother’s female companion. You are the one who lost composure and purposely spilled red wine on her.”
Luo Yiyi felt nauseated yet could only continue humbly, “Now our family’s business collaboration with Huan Entertainment has been called off. My dad said he already borrowed from the banks for it; due to the cancellation, we have now lost millions. He ordered me to rectify this, but young master Chu absolutely refuses to see me.”
“As for business dealings, it would be better for us women to stay out,” replied Chu Jingyi lazily. “If your father wants to yell at you, just let him. You’re his only daughter, what could he possibly do to you?”
“But…”
“If you really want to make up for the losses, it isn’t completely impossible,” interjected Chu Jingyi, abruptly changing her tone.
Impatient, Luo Yiyi asked, “What, Sister Jingyi? Tell me, quick!”
“You could go and kneel before Shi Huan while admitting your mistakes. Be very humble with your attitude and tone. If she softens, then there’s a possibility…”
“Me, apologizing on my knees to that old maid? Impossible!” Luo Yiyi promptly interrupted.
“Very well then.” Chu Jingyi chuckled. “I have other matters to attend to, I will hang up now.”
Before Luo Yiyi could react, the phone call was disconnected.
Luo Yiyi looked at her darkening phone screen, becoming heated to the point of rage.
Was she just played like a fool?

Nancheng University.
Following lunch, Mo Weiyi and Su Wanwan, as usual, arrived at the reading room.
Ling Zhizhou was already there waiting. He had secured the same seats as before, one next to him and the other opposite.
Su Wanwan travelled to the seat opposite and watched as Mo Weiyi sat down beside Ling Zhizhou.
She pulled out her textbooks and soon became engrossed in her studies.
After finishing a set of papers an hour later, Su Wanwan set down her pen. As she went to pick up her thermal flask, she unintentionally looked up and captured a beautiful scene.
Due to being in the library, Mo Weiyi had taken off her coat. Wearing a slightly oversized pink sweater with her long honey-colored curly hair, combined with refined nude makeup, she looked like a pretty doll.
Mo Weiyi was engrossed in her English exercises while Ling Zhizhou stared at her intently, his gaze unwavering and almost fervent, as if he was under her spell.
Their seats were by the window, and the winter sun in the afternoon came streaming through, casting a golden glow upon them.
Young and wonderful.
Furrowing her brows, Su Wanwan picked up her pen and gently tapped it on the table.
Ling Zhizhou immediately withdrew his gaze, pretending to read.
Meanwhile, Mo Weiyi looked up. “What’s the matter, Wanwan?”
After a glance at Ling Zhizhou, Su Wanwan pursed her lips, “Come get some fresh air with me, will you?”
“Sure.” Mo Weiyi put her pen down.

Outside, in a peaceful corner, Su Wanwan got straight to the point, “Is this Ling Zhizhou chasing after you?”
“Even though I’m as beautiful as a flower, he’s my junior by two years. What nasty stories are you cooking up in your mind?” Mo Weiyi batted her clear cat eyes at her, as if hearing a tall tale.
“But the way he looks at you is suspicious.”
The fascinated look from earlier was undoubtedly that of an admirer; it couldn’t be more obvious.
Su Wanwan was confident in her judgment.
And what about him being younger by two years?
In these times, you even hear about couples with an age gap of ten years. There are even teacher-student relationships happening at the school.
“You’re a married woman. Watch your words and actions.”
Mo Weiyi burst out laughing, “Sweet Wanwan, have you been reading too many romance novels?”
“Does he know you’re already married?” Su Wanwan continued, her face serious.
As the school’s beauty, any information about Mo Weiyi can easily be found in abundance by a simple search on the school’s forum. Everyone knows about her.
She couldn’t believe that Ling Zhizhou would be unaware.
But if he knows, why would he show such affection to a married woman?
Su Wanwan had a feeling something was not quite right.
“I haven’t said anything,” Mo Weiyi puffed her cheeks, “Perhaps he doesn’t know.”
Su Wanwan: “…”
Fair enough.
In that case, she was willing to drop her previous suspicions, “Then you should find an opportunity to tell him as soon as possible to avoid any scandals. Who knows what Xiao Bai might think?”
Mo Weiyi seemed thoughtful, “Makes sense.”
She had to consider Xiaobai’s feelings too.
The next moment.
“But if I say it so directly, wouldn’t it make me seem too narcissistic? As if I assume everyone is into me?”
Hehe. Su Wanwan gave an amused smirk, “Aren’t you narcissistic, little princess?”
Mo Weiyi smiled slyly, “Alright then, I’ll tell him next time.”
“Alright,” Su Wanwan nodded.
Even though she didn’t really like Xiao Yebai, Mo Weiyi was wholly devoted to him. There was no need to create a scandal at school.
Moreover, with matters of the heart, it’s best to nip it in the bud. If Ling Zhizhou ended up getting hurt, it would not be good.
