Chapter 32: Not to be Repeated

Translator: Exodus Tales  Editor: Exodus Tales

Qiu Liyao finally met Master Sheng. Master Sheng was known to be difficult to manage.

Zhai Yunsheng was currently playing billiards with Yu Xi. Zhai Yunsheng wore a black shirt. The top three buttons of the shirt were unbuttoned and revealed a large section of his neckline. His muscles appeared to be tight and firm.

This was very different from what Qiu Liyao had imagined. He had initially thought that Master Sheng would appear to look like a sickly person.

Qiu Liyao assumed that this man would look thin and fragile. However, from his appearance, he couldn’t see anything wrong with his health.

Qiu Liyao didn’t dare to interrupt their billiards session. Thus, he waited with Yu Simiao on the side for a while.

He waited until Zhai Yunsheng and Yu Xi finished the match. Qiu Liyao stepped forward with a smile.

“Master Sheng,” Qiu Liyao smiled as he called out.

Zhai Yunsheng turned his head to look at him. A smile formed on his lips.

For the split second when their eyes met, Qiu Liyao felt nervous for no reason.

The last time Qiu Liyao saw eyes that seemed to be able to read the minds of people was when he met the Chairman of the Tianxing Group.

And at that time, he only had the chance to briefly glance at the other party. With his status, he didn’t have the opportunity to talk to the chairman.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Qiu Liyao took out his carefully prepared gift. A thousand-year-old ginseng.

The ginseng was situated in a big red box. Multiple roots stemmed from the thousand-year-old ginseng.

“This is my…”

“Do you know how to play?” Zhai Yunsheng asked as he interrupted Qiao Liyao.

His eyes didn’t even look at the ginseng that Qiu Liyao had bought with a huge sum of money.

Qiu Liyao paused for a moment before he glanced at the billiards table next to him. He replied in a hurry, “I’m not good at this. My skills definitely can not be compared with Master Sheng’s.”

“Play a match with Yu Xi,” Zhai Yunsheng replied as he passed the cue stick to Qiu Liyao.

Qiu Liyao didn’t know how to respond. He didn’t understand the meaning behind Zhai Yunsheng’s actions.

After hesitating for a while, he took the cue stick.

Following that, Qiu Liyao watched Zhai Yunsheng walk towards a nearby sofa and sat down.

Qiu Liyao looked at Yu Xi who was already arranging the billiards. He could only try his best and play this match with Yu Xi.

Yu Simiao walked over to Zhai Yunsheng. He asked in a quiet voice, “Is Master Sheng unhappy?”

“What?” Zhai Yunsheng asked. His voice was magnetic.

There was a faint smile on the corner of his lips. It was like a smile yet not a smile. His eyes were sharp and appeared to look playful and evil at the same time.

Yu Simiao felt his heart sank. He knew that Master Sheng wanted him to say it by himself.

“About the situation where I brought Chairman Qiu to see you.”

Zhai Yunsheng’s right hand kept tapping on the armrest of the sofa. After a while, he slowly said.

“Don’t let this happen again.”

“Got it.” Yu Simiao knew that he had to refuse all visitors from this time onwards.

After that match, it was Yu Simiao’s turn to have a match against Qiu Liyao. Although Qiu Liyao came to talk to Zhai Yunsheng, there was no chance to do so.

Yu XI walked over to Zhai Yunsheng and said quietly, “Master Sheng, thanks to you, I finally have the opportunity to see this guy suffer for a bit! You don’t know how much I hated him when I attended Shenghua High School.”

After a pause, Yu Xi started speaking again, “Also, Master Zhai also gave me instructions to introduce you to some innocent girls.”

Yu Xi didn’t dare to hide this from Zhai Yunsheng. Whatever Master Zhai asked him to do, he would tell Zhai Yunsheng.

This wasn’t the first or second time that Master Zhai had wanted Yu Xi to introduce a girl to Master Sheng.

And as for the reason why he wanted an innocent girl was probably because he didn’t want Master Sheng’s body to be damaged if he did play around.

It was difficult to blame Master Zhai for having such thoughts. Although Zhai Yunsheng appeared to look quite healthy, he was actually quite ill. If he wasn’t careful, he would die easily.

He was the only child of the Zhai family. If he were to die, then there would be no one to carry on the legacy of the Zhai family.

However, other than women, Master Sheng played with everything else.

When it came to this aspect, he was as pure as a piece of white paper.

When it came to age, Master Sheng was not old enough to be urged to marry.

It was normal for him to not date. Yu Xi himself hadn’t yet dated.

However, Master Sheng’s situation was special.

While he was in the capital, the Zhai family had tried to recommend some girls to Master Sheng. They tried various ways to get Master Sheng interested in these matters.

However, Master Sheng remained indifferent.

Master Zhai had even said, as long as Master Sheng was interested in the girl, it didn’t matter what background she was from. Everything was fine as long as she had a good family and upheld herself to good moral conduct.

“You manage it.” Zhai Yunsheng replied as he gave Yu Xi a look.

Yu Xi had an exasperated look on his face. He knew that phrase was not for him to manage the girl but rather, was asking him to manage Master Zhai.

“Master Sheng, I feel that I will die in your grandpa’s hands sooner or later.” He couldn’t lie to Zhai Yunsheng. Thus, he could only help Zhai Yunsheng in fooling his grandpa in Beijing.

Jian Yiling was in her study room at night. Jian Shuxing and Jian Yuncheng came to find her at the same time.

When Jian Yiling saw both of them appear at the same time, she knew something was up.

“Yiling, Father has something to discuss with you.” Jian Shuxing’s brows furrowed a lot. He didn’t dare to look directly at Jian Yiling.

Jian Yiling nodded. Her expression appeared to be serious and calm.

“Your… Your brother… Is coming out of hospital…” Jian Shuxing stammered out. Although his actions in the work environment were swift and decisive, when facing his daughter, his words were scattered.

“Let me say it.” Jian Yuncheng interrupted. “Yunnao is about to be discharged. However, his hand hasn’t become better. We haven’t found someone to operate on his hand for the time being. The hospital has suggested for us to take him back home to rest first. This hopefully will be better for his mood.”

“However, Yunnao still doesn’t want to meet you for the time being. After discussing this with your father, we decided that we are going to send you to your grandparent’s house temporarily. We’ve already contacted them. After you finish school tomorrow, you will be taken there. Pack anything you need today. Tomorrow, I’ll ask someone to deliver it in advance.”

After Jian Yuncheng stopped talking, he waited for Jian Yiling’s response.

Before coming to notify Jian Yiling, Jian Shuxing, Wen Nuan, and Jian Yuncheng had discussed this for quite some time.

They had expected that Jian Yiling might have some extreme reaction.

1

Jian Shuxing didn’t dare to look at Jian Yiling directly. Last time when Grandma Jian had proposed for Jian Yiling to live in the old residence, he had declined. However, now, they were sending her to live there for such a reason.

“Okay,” Jian Yiling replied. Her reply was simple and clear.

Then, she turned around to go pack her things.

Jian Shuxing and Jian Yuncheng did not anticipate such a reaction.

They assumed that Jian Yiling would cry and throw a tantrum.

They thought about all the possible outcomes other than this one. They did not expect her to quietly accept their arrangements.

Their hearts felt as though they got hit by a blunt object as they looked at the quiet and small figure of Jian Yiling.

“Yi… Yiling… If you need anything, tell father… Father…” Jian Shuxing started as he tried to say something to appease Jian Yiling.

Jian Yiling shook her head. Her face remained soft and calm.
