Jiang Nian felt a chill run down her spine from her master's meaningful gaze.
She had indeed confirmed with her master the medicinal ingredients used in Jin Suo Gu Jing Wan (a traditional Chinese medicine).
But that was for Qin Ji.
Unexpectedly, the master thought it was Si Boye.
He immediately said, "...Master, you've misunderstood. That's for his friend."
“Oh, so you’re a friend,” Gu Qingcheng said, stroking his chin knowingly. “I knew it. If someone this young has kidney deficiency, we can’t accept them.”
When a man's kidneys are deficient, he will be deficient in all parts of his body.
As Si Boye walked over, he happened to hear those words, and his lips twitched.
"—Nian Nian."
Jiang Nian turned her head and saw Si Boye appearing in a formal suit and tie, holding a gift in his hand.
He respectfully extended his hand to Gu Qingcheng: "Master, it's a pleasure to meet you. I am Nian Nian's boyfriend, Si Boye."
Then, with great seriousness and politeness, he explained, "Don't worry, I'm in good health, and my kidneys are very healthy."
Jiang Nian: "..."
Sure enough, he heard it.
Gu Qingcheng shook Si Boye's hand in return and looked him over.
The man before me was indeed an incredibly dazzling presence in terms of height, appearance, temperament, and aura.
No wonder it could make Nian Nian's heart flutter.
It's reasonable to assume that their character and abilities are also quite good.
"Knowing you were coming, I had already made a reservation at Baiweizhai," Si Boye said. "Later, I'll go and pick up Grandpa Niannian and my elder brother, and we'll have dinner together."
Gu Qingcheng was somewhat surprised: "Niannian, you've already taken Xiaosi back to meet your grandfather and brothers?"
Jiang Nian nodded: "I've met him."
"Alright, alright," he glanced at Si Boye, "you're lucky, kid."
“As your master, I’m practically a father to you. If you ever have any ill intentions towards us, I won’t let you off the hook.”
Si Boye smiled obediently: "Master, don't worry. If I treat Niannian badly, I might not even live to see the day you can't forgive me."
After all, he had a maternal grandfather and seven brothers-in-law watching him.
Everyone enjoyed the dinner.
Gu Qingcheng's main purpose in coming to Beijing this time was to see his apprentice and, incidentally, to give his apprentice some face at Tsinghua University.
I didn't plan to stay long.
The next day, with Jiang Nian and Si Boye seeing them off, they went to another place to look for medical books and ancient texts.
After Ji Yuwei brought reporters to the door only to have her true colors exposed, this incident occurred.
In addition, Jiang Nian's identity as Gu Qingcheng's only disciple has been exposed this time.
The Ji family's stock price has been soaring recently.
And Ji Yuwei—
Si Boye used some connections, and Ji Yuwei was completely blacklisted from the entertainment industry last week.
All of their social media accounts have been suspended, and they are also facing exorbitant breach of contract penalties demanded by several companies.
Fans were shocked to discover they had been supporting such a hypocritical and malicious person, and many unfollowed and turned against him.
Over the past week, Ji Yuwei has been bombarded with all sorts of scandals.
Plastic surgery, fighting for top billing, bad temper, diva behavior, tax evasion, workplace bullying, chaotic private life... it's astonishing.
The more you dig into everyone's background, the more you realize that the Ji family are truly kind and innocent.
This person was raised as the Ji family's daughter for so many years, and was even sent abroad to study and be nurtured, but in the end, this ungrateful wretch bit back.
In the apartment, Ji Yuwei stared at the top trending topic, #Jiang Niangu's Disciple#, her eyes bloodshot.
His lips were bitten so hard they bled.
Home, money, career, reputation, face, future.
Now, she has nothing left. Jiang Nian, on the other hand, has everything.
"...Now that things have come to this, let it go, Yuwei."
"We'll figure out the penalty for breach of contract slowly. If all else fails, you can go abroad and hide for a while."
After all, the agent had been by Ji Yuwei's side for several years, and couldn't bear to do it.
Even though Ji Yuwei was in such a state, he didn't just leave; he even stood by and offered a few words of advice.
But she knew in her heart that without the support of the Ji family, the little savings left in Ji Yuwei's account wouldn't even be enough to cover one-fifth of the penalty for breach of contract.
Moreover, Ji Yuwei has been blacklisted and has no source of income, so how can she compensate for the losses? Even the tax bureau has started investigating her tax evasion, and she can't make up the money.
If you don't want to get arrested and go to jail, the only way is to run away as soon as possible. They said they were going abroad to hide, but once they left, they never came back.
"never mind?"
Ji Yuwei suddenly raised her head, her eyes filled with hatred that was almost overflowing, and her tone was nearly insane.
"If it weren't for Jiang Nian, I wouldn't have been ruined like this, with no reputation left and nothing, and no chance to turn things around."
"Her existence has taken away everything that originally belonged to me; she is here to bring me down."
"Even if I die, I'll drag her down with me. I will never let her go... never!"
He fled abroad like a rat in the street, watching helplessly as Jiang Nian lived a glamorous life under the envious gaze of everyone, being pampered by the Ji family like a little princess, and becoming the future Mrs. Si of the Si family.
That would be worse than just killing her!
Seeing Ji Yuwei like this, her manager couldn't help but sigh.
She really wanted to tell Ji Yuwei that Jiang Nian had never intentionally harmed her in any way.
Her current situation is entirely of her own making.
But she also knew that with Ji Yuwei's extreme personality, even if she said something, Ji Yuwei wouldn't listen.
Finally, he said, "Yuwei, listen to my advice, you must never think about doing anything to Jiang Nian again."
"Your younger sister is no ordinary person; she's not someone you can afford to mess with."
Ji Yuwei paused, then looked at her manager: "...What do you mean by this?"
"Actually, there's something I've been keeping from you,"
The agent hesitated for a moment, "Do you remember when you found out that the manager of MISS was a woman, you asked me to investigate who that mysterious manager was?"
Ji Yuwei immediately pressed, "You found out?"
“I found out,” the agent said. “I have some connections with a senior executive at Qinglan Group. He told me that the manager of MISS is an 18-year-old high school girl who has a close relationship with Shen Qinglan of Qinglan Group.”
"Later, I found out at the front desk of Qinglan Group that a girl who looked like a high school student had visited Qinglan Group before, and Shen Qinglan personally came down to greet her. Moreover, Shen Qinglan called her Niannian."
“I checked with the front desk with Jiang Nian’s photo—that girl is Jiang Nian.”
