"Oh, it's nothing. The report cards were sent out early. I'm on vacation now, and I just came to tell you that there's a parent-teacher conference next Monday."
"This is the first time you've shown me your parents' meeting, and it's also the last one in high school. You promised, so don't be late." Yue Xuanxuan could tell from Yue Lanxing's expression that he had misunderstood, so she explained it to him.
"I'm going to work now. See you at school on Monday." Yue Xuanxuan took her report card out of her bag, glanced at it for Yue Lanxing, and put it back. "I won't give you the report card. I'm afraid you'll lose it."
Yue Lanxing glanced at the results and memorized them all. She was first in the class, and had always maintained that level. "Okay, then I'll see you out." Yue Lanxing didn't want her to stay there, so she immediately saw her out.
Li Qi didn't follow them out; he also needed to prepare for the competition. "Hey, Xiao Yue, how did your sister do on the test? She even came all the way here to let you see. She did pretty well, right?"
As soon as Li Qi turned around, he saw Yue Lanxing return. She was quite fast; with those long legs, she walked with a swagger.
“All my subjects were good, all the way up to this score.” Yue Lanxing didn’t go into details, but that didn’t stop Li Qi from continuing the conversation. “I remember you said that your sister also works for the Xu family, right? Is it at the company or inside the Xu family mansion?”
"Oh? What's wrong?" Yue Lanxing raised an eyebrow and asked.
"Hi, it's nothing. I just wanted to ask, if your sister lives at the Xu family mansion, she should know the young master, right? Logically speaking, they seem to be the same age."
Yue Lanxing knew who Young Master Xu was, but she had never met him before. "I don't know that. Is there a problem?"
"No problem. If we win the game today, we can get a job at the Xu family mansion. That's something many people envy. That's how our mentor, Brother Xu, got promoted."
Yue Lanxing nodded to indicate that she understood, but then she thought about it again. She didn't usually have much interaction with Li Qi, so why was he talking to her so much today?
"Brother Li, is there something you want to tell me?" Yue Lanxing turned slightly to the side, looking at Li Qi with obvious curiosity.
"What could I possibly do... It's like this, we'll be in the same group later. If we run into each other, I'm not asking you to go easy on me, just to go easy on me a little so I don't get hurt. If we both enter the Xu family together, it'll be good to have someone to look after us."
"I see." Yue Lanxing nodded. "Don't worry, I only touch on things briefly."
Yue Lanxing's tone was relaxed, as if he really only meant to stop there. Li Qi dared not say that he had seen him take on ten opponents at once. "That's good, that's good. I'm relieved to hear you say that."
After chatting for a while, Xu Dachuan brought the people who were being assessed here, and the originally noisy crowd immediately quieted down.
"I think everyone knows why we're here, so I won't waste any more time. We'll split into three groups and fight on three separate stages. Only the top three from each group will be selected. Do you understand?"
"Understood!"
The intense competition began, and Yue Lanxing's group won with an absolute advantage. He really knew when to stop and when to stop with everyone. Even Xu Dachuan admired his fighting spirit in the end.
In the end, both Yue Lanxing and Li Qi made it into the top three. "You're amazing, huh? After so many rounds, you're still so energetic." Li Qi looked at Yue Lanxing beside him, then at his own pathetic state. Comparison is the thief of joy.
"What are you saying! All nine of you get in the car, I'll take you to get ready." Xu Dachuan glared at Li Qi, who shook his head before looking away.
Yue Lanxing and the others were taken to the bathhouse for a bath, and each of them was given a new set of clothes.
"When you get to the mansion, don't look around. If you're detained, you'll have plenty of opportunities to look around, understand?" Xu Dachuan reminded them again in the car, and everyone nodded.
They arrived at the mansion quickly, by which time it was already dark.
"Da Chuan has returned with his men?" Butler Xu was already waiting at the door.
Xu Dachuan got out of the car with his men. "We even had Butler Xu wait for us outside. We're late. Please line up and get ready."
Butler Xu still had a smiling face, showing no sign of anger. "It's nothing. The young master knew there were new bodyguards coming today, so he insisted on choosing one himself. That's why I came to wait for him."
"Really? Then we'd better hurry inside." Xu Dachuan and Butler Xu walked ahead, with the others following behind.
When they arrived at the villa entrance, Butler Xu went in first. "Young Master, Xu Dachuan has arrived with his men. Do you see any of these men who catch your eye?"
"Why are you so late? I've been waiting for ages. Oh, you're quite handsome, aren't you?" Even though Xu Zhaohao didn't name names, everyone present knew he was talking about Yue Lanxing. Yue Lanxing felt the increased attention on her and dared not show any expression.
However, his purpose in coming here was to stay in the Xu family, hoping that his face would be of some use.
Just as everyone was observing Yue Lanxing, a phone rang, interrupting the atmosphere. "Hello, may I ask who this is...?" The maid next to the phone quickly answered, and before she could even finish her opening remarks, she immediately called out "Young Master."
"Young Master! It's Miss's phone call!" Even the maid's voice was so happy, let alone the young master's.
"Really? My sister called." Xu Zhaohao skipped over and grabbed the phone. "Sis! Is that you, sis?"
"Oh, I was too loud. How about this, is the volume okay?" Xu Zhaohao quickly lowered his voice, but then, after something was said on the other end, his voice rose again, "Really? When?"
