Chapter 11: Missing Crystal in Fate

Qin Ran's chest heaved violently, and her plump breasts almost burst the buttons of her shirt.

Her face turned red. It was the first time she had been teased like this by someone, especially when it was her best friend's younger brother.

What happened to his honesty and stubbornness?

From now on, it seemed that this guy wasn't a simpleton either.

Chu Yi also knew that jokes couldn't be taken too far. He cleared his throat and said seriously, "Calm down. I haven't been bullied by that guy."

Qin Ran rolled her eyes at him. She had never seen such a shameless person before, but fortunately she quickly regained control of her emotions and said, "You should know that behind Chen Junyu is Kaisheng Hotel. Although his relationship with his family isn't very good, something like this could still cause trouble for them."

Chu Yi shrugged indifferently while Qin Ran continued speaking,"And Dong Guohao is related to whether you can stay or not."

"To pass the probation period there are three requirements which are rules."

"There are three indicators for assessment: First is the evaluation from our team leader in the office which accounts for thirty percent."

"Secondly is my evaluation which accounts for twenty percent."

"Thirdly is your class ranking in next month's exam which accounts for fifty percent of your final comprehensive assessment score; only if you get over fifty points will you be able to stay here."

Chu Yi's face immediately fell as he wondered why it was different from last time? Did he offend Qin Ran somehow?

Last time all he needed was to rank within top ten in their grade level exams but now there were so many requirements!

This woman must have done it on purpose!

Looking at Chu Yi's blackened face, Qin Ran smiled victoriously but soon realized she had shown too much emotion and quickly restrained herself.

"As for your matter with Chen Junyu, I won't pursue it." Qin Ran had no intention of pursuing the matter. After all, she heard that it was voluntary on both sides. She just wanted to suppress him a little bit but didn't expect this guy to stir up trouble.

Of course, she wasn't easy to mess with either.

She knew that Chu Yi's family's financial situation wasn't very good, so whether he could stay or not was what he cared about most.

Chu Yi felt quite helpless. He knew his students well; if he wanted them to study hard, he would probably have to hold a knife against their necks.

It was difficult!

"Okay, I'll do my best!" He made a military order.

...

Tonight wasn't Chu Yi's shift so after leaving Qin Ran's office he went back to his rented house alone.

His hand holding the phone trembled slightly. For these past few days, he had been adjusting his emotions and dared not call home.

For him, family was his weakness.

In the end, he still dialed the number.

Huanghua Town, also within the jurisdiction of Jiujiang City, is not economically developed but has a beautiful environment.

In a small commodity house with only 50 square meters, an old electric fan hums as it blows.

A young girl sits in a wheelchair holding a book.

Her eyebrows and facial features resemble Chu Yi's to some extent, but softer. Her skin is crystal clear like jade without any visible pores.

Especially her eyes are serene and full of wisdom. Although she is only eighteen or nineteen years old, she is more mature than some college graduates.

Suddenly, Chu Mu's phone rang beside him. He looked at the number and his calm eyes suddenly lit up. He quickly answered: "Brother, why did you call back so late? Dad has been talking about you these past few days."

Hearing his little sister's slightly reproachful voice, Chu Yi's eyes instantly became moist.

"I miss you too."

This separation was a whole thousand years for Chu Yi.

In the immortal world, he couldn't return to Earth. By the time he had the ability to come back hundreds of years had passed and everything had changed.

His nose felt sour as he suppressed his emotions and asked with concern: "Stinky brat, it's only been a few days since we last talked. I've been busy because school just started. Is dad still working? Does your leg still hurt?"

As he asked this question, Chu Yi's gaze darkened involuntarily.

His little sister was born with congenital calf atrophy which often caused pain especially on rainy days when it spread throughout her body.

After seeing several famous doctors who all said there was no cure for this condition that she carried from birth; most of their family's money went towards buying expensive medicinal herbs to relieve her pain instead.

"It's always like this; I'm used to it... Oh yeah brother when are you coming back? This weekend?"

Chu Yi chatted with Chu Mu, even telling her about accidentally seeing their boss's butt.

"Boss has a big butt and will have many children." Chu Mu exclaimed excitedly, her eyes full of mischief. "Brother, you're not getting any younger; it's time to settle down. I think the principal is good for you. It just so happens that women are at their most attractive stage now. Don't worry, Dad and I won't object."

"Okay, okay... You dare to tease me..."

They talked for an hour before hanging up the phone. Afterward, Chu Yi took a deep breath.

In this life he could solve Chu Mu's illness either by reaching the peak of his cultivation or finding a thousand-year-old spiritual medicine.

"Little brat wait a little longer; brother will definitely make you stand up again and find mom so we can reunite as a family."

No one could stop him in this life!

...

The weather was hot and humid, but the cicadas were still chirping loudly.

After finishing his meal and practicing for a while, Chu Yi's former roommate Jiang Fan came over to pick up some things he had left behind. Like Chu Yi, Jiang Fan was an ordinary university graduate who worked as a supervisor at a supermarket.

However, Jiang Fan was quite considerate of Chu Yi. After chatting for a bit, he pulled him out of the room saying: "You're a young man in your prime. It's not good to stay cooped up in your room all day instead of going out to meet girls. Come on, let me take you to a bar."

Chu Yi felt helpless because of financial issues at home; he had never been to a bar before.

The Charm Bar was located near the only university in Jiujiang City and business there was booming.

"I've arranged to meet some friends here today. You should get acquainted with them too; they're all big shots and might be able to help you out someday," said Jiang Fan after dressing himself up nicely and attracting attention from several women upon entering the bar.

Inside the Charm Bar, lively music filled the air as young men and women danced wildly on the dance floor.

"Li Gege (Brother Li), this is my friend Chu Yi; he's a teacher," introduced Jiang Fan.

Li Zicheng sat among several people as their leader or core member. He nodded slightly without speaking much while looking disdainful towards others with his eyes.

Chu Yi noticed that everyone present wore expensive clothes and were probably rich second-generation kids. Although Jiang Fan tried hard to fit into this group, he still seemed somewhat different from them.

Watching how hard Jiang Fan tried so hard made Chu Yi frown slightly but it wasn't his place interfere with other people's lives.

"Jiang Fan, don't bring someone like him to our next gathering. Not everyone is qualified to attend," said a girl beside them, looking down on Chu Yi's clothes. "Even my dog wears better clothes than him."

"Wu Jie (Sister Wu)..." Jiang Fan begged awkwardly and then looked apologetically at Chu Yi.

Wu Jingjing was arrogant like a phoenix and didn't let up: "I'm not trying to insult you but people should know their place. Everyone here has assets worth millions of yuan; even you, Jiang Fan, wouldn't have the right to talk with us if it weren't for your cousin."

Jiang Fan's eyes flashed with anger but he couldn't do anything about it except apologize repeatedly.

Holding his glass of wine, Chu Yi glanced at Wu Jingjing and said calmly: "So your name is Wu Jingjing? I heard that those named 'Xin' are lacking in gold while those named 'Miao' are lacking in water. With a name like yours - 'Jing', which means crystal or clear - what else could be missing from your life?"

Look at this cultured man who can criticize others without using vulgar language!

Although Chu Yi didn't say much, everyone present understood that he was mocking them openly.

"You're asking for trouble!" A wealthy second-generation kid who was somewhat overweight stood up suddenly.

Li Zicheng's face turned even darker as he spoke coldly: "Jiang Fan, don't think we won't give you any face because of our friendship. Should this friend of yours kneel down and apologize or slap himself?"

Everyone glared angrily at him while some sneered coldly but Chu Yi wasn't paying attention anymore; his gaze had been fixed on one particular waitress leading another table.

"Is that Wang Ling? What's she doing working here?" That was one of his students!
