On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Yu Wan went to the capital. Naturally, she dragged Meng Shen along with her, since it was a matter of sharing both difficulties and joys.
"A hot spring?" Yu Jianguo's brows furrowed deeply, his face full of doubt. He stared intently at the gauze on Meng Shen's head and asked, "Are you sure you can handle this?"
Meng Shen laughed so hard his face almost cramped, and patted his chest: "Of course it's possible."
Yu Jianguo frowned even more, thinking: Could it be that the Meng family's son has gone mad after his head was cracked open? His blood is rushing to his head while soaking in the hot spring; what if something happens while he's soaking...?
"Why don't you come with us?" Yu Wan lazily raised her head: "If you don't mind feeling uncomfortable being with a group of young people like us, I don't mind."
Upon hearing this, Yu Jianguo waved his hand dismissively: "Forget it, you guys go ahead, just remember to come back early tomorrow." Why should an old man like him get involved in a young people's gathering? He'd rather stay home and catch up on a few more episodes of his TV series.
"Ahem..." Yu Jianguo coughed twice, raising his fist to his lips. He suddenly felt quite embarrassed in front of the two younger people because of his unique hobbies.
After successfully leaving the Yu family and getting into the car, Meng Shen rubbed his stiff face before asking, "Why did you suddenly decide to go to the auction?" Isn't auctions something only people of his father's generation are interested in?
Yu Wan drove off, answering without batting an eye, "Go spend money."
"What the hell?" Meng Shen suddenly raised his voice, picking at his ear: "I didn't hear you, say it again?"
"The old man gave me a lot of pocket money this year, but I don't know where to spend it, so I'm planning to go to the auction to splurge."
"...Heh, then why did you invite me?" You don't want to go out, so what if you're showing off your wealth?
"Oh, let me take you to pick out a New Year's gift."
The car was silent for a full minute.
Soon, Meng Shen looked at her with tears in his eyes, excitedly shouting, "Yu Xiaowan, you'll be my brother in this life and the next."
My God.
No wonder works featuring domineering CEOs are so numerous and enduring; they're just too handsome and charming.
Yu Wan gripped the steering wheel tightly, a fleeting hint of guilt flashing in her clear eyes.

On the other side, at Beijing T2 Airport.
After collecting their luggage at the carousel and exiting the terminal, Ji Yun Chu and his group saw a robust man in a suit holding up a sign that read: "Welcome Mr. Ji Xuan."
Ji Xuan walked forward unhurriedly and asked, "Who are you?"
"Hello Mr. Ji, the old gentleman sent me to pick you up." The man took the suitcase from her hand, his tone respectful.
"Did you come alone?" Ji Xuan was somewhat dissatisfied, but considering the status of the two families, he tried his best to suppress his discomfort.
The man replied, "Yes, the car is parked in section F. Mr. Ji and Ms. Yun Chu, this way please."
Ji Xuan and Ji Yun Chu walked behind, deliberately keeping a little distance. Ji Xuan once again urged with concern, "Yun Chu, the old man likes you very much. You must perform well this time. Maybe you can stay in Beijing to develop your career and marry a high-ranking official's son in the future."
Ji Yun Chu frowned slightly: "Dad, what are you saying? I already have a fiancé. Besides, Ling Chuan and I have a very good relationship, and I'm not considering marrying anyone else."
"What do you know?" Ji Xuan sneered. "Gao Lingchuan is worlds apart from these young men from Beijing. Do you want to be trampled underfoot by Yu Wan for the rest of your life? Once you have a powerful in-law family, will the small-time rich Yu family even need to be taken seriously?"
Ji Yun Chu was somewhat tempted by what she heard, but thinking of her love for Gao Ling Chuan and his vengeful nature, she firmly said, "Dad, please don't do anything. I've decided on Ling Chuan for the rest of my life. If you continue, I'll go back to Jiangcheng right now."
Ji Xuan quickly grabbed her hand: "I won't say anything, okay?" But what he was thinking was, "You're my daughter, don't I know you? Once you've seen the wealth of the Ji family, all I need to do is give you a push."
The Ji family lives within the Second Ring Road, and it took them nearly an hour to get from the airport to their destination.
After getting out of the car, Ji Yun Chu calmly looked around, secretly surprised that the stone lions placed at the entrance were so imposing.
The Ji family owns a villa in the suburbs, but Old Master Ji has lived there his whole life and doesn't want to move, insisting on living in a courtyard house.
"No need to bring your luggage, we'll take you both to the villa tonight," the man said. "The old man misses Miss Yun Chu very much, so he instructed me to bring you both here directly."
It was clear that the old man truly valued Ji Yun Chu. Ji Xuan nudged his daughter's arm: "Carry your violin on your back, play a few tunes for the old man later, and let him give you some pointers."
The reason why Grandpa Ji thought of his cousin Ji Yun Chu was because news of her repeatedly performing on the same stage with Xiao Ling spread, and she was hailed by the industry as the "new generation violin princess".
Ji Yunchu nodded: "Okay."
The father and daughter entered the courtyard house, where a burst of cheerful laughter could be heard.
Just then, someone spotted Ji Yun Chu and her father and said happily, "They've arrived."
A multitude of burning gazes converged upon them.
The Ji family members are all good-looking, exude nobility, and have a strong presence.
Ji Yun Chu clenched her fingers, feigning composure as she flashed a sweet smile, instantly winning over everyone present.
"Yun Chu, right? She's a well-behaved and pretty little girl." Old Master Ji laughed heartily and waved to her, "Come over here quickly."
Ji Yun Chu looked at the old man sitting in the center, her smile growing even brighter, and stepped forward. Her father was right; once she got this connection, wouldn't she be able to completely crush Yu Wan?

Achoo!
The temperature in Beijing was much lower than in Jiangcheng. As soon as he got off the plane, the cold air made Meng Shen sneeze several times in a row.
Yu Wan touched his forehead: "It's a little hot." Looking around, she pointed to the Starbucks across the street and said, "Go find a seat there, I'll go to the pharmacy to buy a thermometer."
Meng Shen grabbed her hand: "No need, I'm fine." He was perfectly fine this morning, how could he suddenly fall ill? He's too fragile, isn't he?
Yu Wan backed down: "Then let's go straight to the hospital?"
"No, host, we'll miss the auction," Peace protested.
Yu Wan ignored it.
An auction is nothing compared to your brothers.
Let them deduct health points if they want.
Sensing its host's agitated mood, the Peace ship dared not utter another sound.
"Fine, go to the pharmacy." Meng Shen reluctantly let go of his hand. He had finally managed to get out of the hospital, and he certainly didn't want to go back in a second time.
"Okay, order a milk or chocolate, no coffee." Yu Wan instructed as she searched on her phone, quickly located the pharmacy, and followed the navigation to get there.
