Chapter 27

編集者: Dragon Boat Translation

The next day, when Youhan was ready to leave, Old Madam Fu kept muttering how she missed Ling Ye and Ling Hua.

He stopped his wheelchair and said, "Should I bring them back with me when I return?"

After divorcing Fu Yuntian, Ling Yinan was very against letting their siblings have contact with the Fu Family.

Except for Youhan.

During the divorce, Ling Yinan was pregnant with her third child and couldn't take care of the siblings properly.

Upon learning this, Youhan arranged for two home care workers to help and would occasionally assist Ling Yinan as much as he could.

Although later, Ling Yinan still had a premature stillbirth, she acknowledged Youhan's kindness.

Therefore, Youhan wanting to see them wouldn't be stopped by Ling Yinan.

Old Madam Fu immediately brightened, "Good, good, good, it's been so long since I've seen them. I'll instruct the kitchen to prepare some nutritious food for them, you must bring them back."

"Got it."

Youhan then left to run errands.

By the time he finished his tasks, it was already early evening.

He had Chi Jing drive directly to the entrance of Technical College, planning to pick up Ling Ye first, and then Ling Hua.

Youhan sent a message to Ling Ye, and soon Ling Ye ran out of the college, hastily getting into Youhan's car.

"Uncle, Huahua might still need half an hour. They've been getting out of school late recently."

"Is it school that's finishing late, or is she returning home late?"

Caught by Youhan's question, Ling Ye awkwardly scratched his head, "Hey, nothing gets past you, Uncle."

"She's in her final year now, and she's still running around all the time?"

Speaking of Ling Hua, Ling Ye also showed a look of headache, "Yeah, she leaves early and returns late every day. Maybe it's because I didn't set a good example when preparing for my college entrance exams back then."

In fact, Ling Hua's academic performance used to be very good and she was sensible.

The Fu family's genes were also good; Ling Hua was naturally fair and pretty even without makeup.

But due to her parents' divorce and her mother taking care of them by herself, they inevitably faced idle gossip.

Over time, many people stopped associating with them.

Perhaps it was precisely this that made Ling Hua particularly value those so-called friends.

They wore Lolita skirts all day long and wore heavy makeup.

To fit in, Ling Hua also followed them in dressing similarly and wearing heavy makeup.

Eventually, she also lost interest in her studies and followed that crowd around...

Now with the college entrance examinations drawing near, both Ling Yinan and Ling Ye were extremely anxious.

But no matter how much they talked and advised, Ling Hua just wouldn't listen.

Youhan also knew somewhat about these circumstances.

He didn't want such a smart child as Ling Hua to waste her education.

So after a moment's thought, he said, "Let's find an experienced tutor to help her make a final sprint this last year."

As the two conversed, Chi Jing hadn't yet circumnavigated the traffic jam ahead and couldn't help but mutter:

"What's going on, why has such a crowd gathered all of a sudden?"

His words made both Youhan and Ling Ye unconsciously look out the car window.

They saw the crowd all staring at the boundary area between First University and Technical College.

There, a conspicuous yellow Ferrari convertible was parked, and Lin Xian was holding a teddy bear the same size as him, blocking Jiang Moxi's path.

Youhan's dark eyes suddenly deepened.

Although he hadn't really dated much, he hadn't eaten pork but hadn't he seen pigs run?

Looking at the teddy bear and Lin Xian's red-faced appearance, he roughly guessed that Lin Xian was trying to make amends with Jiang Moxi.

It seems, Jiang Moxi wasn't just stringing him, Fu Youhan, along.

So even though they have slept together, she isn't in a hurry to vie for any advantages because there are many other options she could choose from?

In an instant, Fu Youhan felt disgust thinking about how he had been paying attention to Jiang Moxi all these days.

He even urged Chi Jing, "Hurry up, veer off and pick up Huahua."

But at this moment, Ling Ye suddenly spoke up, "Wait."

Ling Ye wasn't present during the scene where Lin Xian confessed his feelings to Jiang Moxi.

Moreover, as a person, he wasn't someone who indulged in gossip, so he was unaware that the relationship between Lin Xian and Jiang Moxi had changed.

Seeing this scene, he thought it was just another monthly show of the top student battling the ugly freak.

As for that bear doll as tall as a person, it was probably Lin Xian intending to use it as a weapon against Jiang Moxi!

Ling Ye could have remained indifferent before.

But now that Jiang Moxi had been kind to him, how could he let someone from First University mess with Jiang Moxi over his head?

He immediately told Fu Youhan, "Uncle, just wait for me. I'll help out and be right back."

Without waiting for Fu Youhan to respond, he pushed open the car door and headed towards Jiang Moxi and Lin Xian.

Meanwhile, Fu Youhan watched Jiang Moxi's heavily makeup-ed profile, his eyes shadowed.

Perhaps sensing something, Jiang Moxi suddenly looked over.

And saw Fu Youhan, through the rolled-down car window, staring coldly at her.

In that moment of eye contact, surprise flickered through Jiang Moxi's eyes, while mockery shone in the man's.

But before Jiang Moxi could ponder what the man was mocking, she heard Lin Xian say, "Moxi, besides my parents, I've never cared about someone this much..."

Before this, Lin Xian had already given a long speech filled with numerous confessions.

Jiang Moxi, tired of listening, directly said, "I told you, don't come looking for me again! Otherwise, I won't be polite!"

At this moment, Ling Ye also came over, "Moxi, need a fight? Should I call some guys to help?"

"Ling Ye?" Lin Xian looked at the person in front of him, a bit puzzled.

He naturally recognized Ling Ye.

After all, he was the bully of the Technical College and also the second-worst student there.

He was also the example that professors at First University often used to show them what not to do.

How come he seems to be on good terms with Jiang Moxi?

Did he also know that Jiang Moxi used to be so good-looking?

"No need." Facing someone like Lin Xian, Jiang Moxi could handle him single-handedly.

Ling Ye had personally experienced Jiang Moxi's punches, so of course, he knew she didn't need his help.

But he thought making a bigger scene would deter Lin Xian from bothering Jiang Moxi in the future.

He took out his phone, ready to call his buddies to block Lin Xian, but Lin Xian asked a question.

"Moxi, what's your relationship with Ling Ye?"

Jiang Moxi didn't even need to answer before Ling Ye snapped back, "What's it to you!"

Lin Xian seemed to realize only then that he had no standing to ask, and hastily explained,

"Moxi, I didn't come here today to make you accept me. I just wanted to explain that the drink laced with stuff the other night at Night Color, I didn't know about it beforehand. It was prepared by Cheng Mingxiu. Only after you drank it did he tell me."

Jiang Moxi showed no expression, apparently disbelieving what he said.

When Ling Ye heard this, he instantly jumped three feet high, his voice unconsciously rising,

"You and Cheng Mingxiu are so shameless to put something in Moxi's drink?"

From a distance, in the unobtrusive business car, Fu Youhan was considering calling Ling Ye to have him come back.

But just as he was about to make the call, he heard this conversation and his gaze suddenly sharpened…
