Shi Mingjin also wished she could skin Shi Mingzhe alive.

The Shi family is a complex and large clan. The old master Shi is still alive, and the Shi family has not split up. He has seven or eight legitimate brothers alone, and there are even more illegitimate brothers and sisters.

His mother saw that Shi Mingzhe had lost his aunt's protection at such a young age, so she let Shi Mingzhe follow him, both to give Shi Mingzhe a better way to make a living and to cultivate a confidant for him.

But to their utter surprise, the other party couldn't see through their kindness at all. Instead, they wanted to bite them back. They wanted to see how a illegitimate son like them, without any protection, could survive in the cannibalistic Shi family.

Shi Mingjin entered the examination room filled with resentment and frustration.

And since his exam seat happened to be next to Fang Zhixing's, he immediately apologized to Fang Zhixing before the exam started.

Having provoked Fang Zhixing for so long, how could Fang Zhixing not know about the Shi family's situation? He immediately returned the greeting with a smile and said, "Brother Shi, it's nothing, they're just some clowns."

Shi Mingjin breathed a sigh of relief.

He didn't aspire to climb the social ladder through the Prime Minister's office, but he absolutely, positively didn't want to offend them.

"Don't worry too much. Shi Mingzhe has disliked me for a long time. I actually quite enjoy watching him. He can't stand me, but he can't do anything about it. Every time, he gets so angry that his face turns red. Instead of putting up with this rat in the gutter, it's better to strive to be better and make him look up to you. That would be the most fatal blow to him."

Fang Zhixing noticed Shi Mingjin's inner conflict and tried to offer her some guidance.

After all, Shi Mingjin's failure to pass the exam was a good thing for Shi Mingzhe, which is why Fang Zhixing offered a few more words of advice.
