Unfortunately, Yun Shang has never looked Huang Dalang in the eye. Even when she returned injured this time and Huang Dalang offered to use his magic power to heal Yun Shang, Yun Shang would rather "steal" the yang energy herself and ignored Huang Dalang's goodwill.
However, what made Huang Dalang secretly happy was that Yun Shang's "amnesia" had made her forget many things, including her Lord Lin Muchen, but she hadn't forgotten him, Huang Dalang. Does this... mean that he still has a place in Yun Shang's heart?
Huang Dalang looked at Yun Shang lying on the bed, his expression changing from happy to sad, which made Zhou Yuanyuan shake her head.
Soon, Zhou Yuanyuan had no time to pay attention to Huang Dalang and Yun Shang.
Zhu Xiaojun is back.
The Liu family's home wasn't far from the Qingxin Bar, just two stops away. Zhu Xiaojun shouldn't have been so late. Liu Jingye wasn't home tonight, and Xiao Fanghua, resentful of Zhu Xiaojun for "losing" Liu Meiling, was being indifferent to him. It took Zhu Xiaojun some effort to finally retrieve Liu Meiling's used pillowcase.
After Zhu Xiaojun entered the room, he ran towards the bathroom with his head down.
Zhu Xiaojun was standing at the bathroom door, and when he didn't see Zhou Yuanyuan, he couldn't help but break out in a sweat.
"Brother Yizhi, have you seen Zhou Yuanyuan?" Zhu Xiaojun turned around and rushed into the hall. Seeing Cao Yizhi, he quickly asked.
"Zhu Xiaojun, why did you bring Zhou Yuanyuan to Qingxin Bar? Are you worthy of my sister?" Cao hadn't said anything yet, and Liu Meifang asked dissatisfiedly.
Zhou Yuanyuan's family is a legendary figure in the aristocratic circle of Kyoto City.
Ever since arriving in Beijing, the Liu Meifang sisters had heard a lot about Zhou Yuanyuan. Over the past two years, Liu Jingye and Xiao Fanghua had also frequently spoken of the Zhou Yuanyuan siblings, describing them as geniuses sent from heaven, the noble family, and their extraordinary luck. They'd made the Liu Meifang and Liu Meiling sisters seem like nothing more than humble figures.
Who wants to be constantly outshined by someone who is many times better than them? Therefore, both Liu Meifang and her sister dislike Zhou Yuanyuan.
"Liu Meifang, what nonsense are you talking about? We're busy!" Zhu Xiaojun glared at Liu Meifang and said impatiently. Don't be fooled by Zhu Xiaojun's attentiveness in front of Liu Meiling. That's because Zhu Xiaojun likes her, but who is Liu Meifang? She's acting like an older sister in front of him, and she needs Zhu Xiaojun's recognition!
"A man and a woman hanging out at a bar, is that a serious thing?" Liu Meifang was unconvinced. At the Qingxin Bar, there were only single men and couples. Liu Meifang couldn't believe Zhu Xiaojun and Zhou Yuanyuan were hanging out together. Before, Liu Meifang hadn't felt confident in front of Zhu Xiaojun because their Liu family wasn't as well-off as the Zhus. But now, she was already the girlfriend of Yizhige, and the Cao family's background was no less than the Zhus'. Liu Meifang felt she should support her sister and, by the way, teach Zhu Xiaojun what "faithfulness" meant.
Liu Meiling's disappearance was kept secret by Liu Jingye and his wife, and Liu Meifang was unaware of it. She even thought Zhu Xiaojun was playing both sides, pursuing her sister while also having a passionate affair with Zhou Yuanyuan.
It's no wonder Liu Meifang thought this way. Zhu Xiaojun's reputation was too bad. Zhu Xiaojun was well-known in the entire circle for his fickleness.
"Liu Meifang, I'm not talking to you, go away!" Zhu Xiaojun scolded Liu Meifang angrily.
Liu Meifang was stunned. She had never expected Zhu Xiaojun, who always groveled in front of Liu Meiling, to be so aggressive.
"Xiaojun, please speak nicely. Meifang doesn't know about this." Cao Zhizhi saw Liu Meifang's eyes watering after being scolded by Zhu Xiaojun, and couldn't help but say something to Zhu Xiaojun. Cao Zhizhi had just talked to Liu Meifang about making friends, and the next moment Zhu Xiaojun didn't give Liu Meifang face in front of him, which made Cao Zhizhi feel a little embarrassed.
"Alright! For Brother Yizhi's sake, I won't argue with that little girl. Brother Yizhi, you've been here the whole time, have you seen where Zhou Yuanyuan ran off to?" Zhu Xiaojun quickly changed his expression when he turned around and spoke to Cao Yizhi. Zhu Xiaojun was no fool, and seeing that Cao Yizhi was defending Liu Meifang, he gave Cao Yizhi face.
"Yuanyuan was at the bar just now." Cao knew that Zhu Xiaojun was anxious. When Zhu Xiaojun walked over, his eyes had already circled around the bar twice, but unfortunately he didn't see Zhou Yuanyuan.
At this time, Zhou Yuanyuan was standing not far behind Cao Yizhi.
Hearing Liu Meifang's empty slander of herself and Zhu Xiaojun, Zhou Yuanyuan barely managed to resist the urge to slap her. She remained silent, wanting to see what Cao Yizhi would do. The result... well, humph! Cao Yizhi, I'll remember you!
"Brother Yizhi, I want to go home." Liu Meifang felt the smile on Cao Yizhi and Zhu Xiaojun's lips when they talked about Zhou Yuanyuan was particularly dazzling, and she couldn't help but scream.
"Meifang, wait a minute. I have something to do with Xiaojun." Cao frowned, unconsciously comparing Liu Meifang and Zhou Yuanyuan. Liu Meifang seemed nice enough at ordinary times, but when it came to the crucial moment, she was too impatient and couldn't distinguish between the important and the urgent.
"Brother Yizhi, I..." Liu Meifang was about to cry when she saw that Cao Yizhi hadn't agreed to take her home. She had clearly been getting along well with Brother Yizhi tonight. Just a moment ago, Brother Yizhi had said he liked her and wanted to date her. Liu Meifang was just in shock and joy when Zhu Xiaojun reappeared like a ghost.
I don't know what's wrong with Zhu Xiaojun tonight. He pops up in front of them every few minutes, interrupting their conversation time and time again. How hateful! Liu Meifang was annoyed.
Zhou Yuanyuan stood there and took a few deep breaths before she controlled her desire to hit him. She spoke, "Zhu Xiaojun, why are you back so late? I wanted to go home."
"Yuanyuan?" Cao Zhizhi was startled and quickly stood up. Was Zhou Yuanyuan standing behind him just now? He had just defended Liu Meifang in front of Xiaojun. He wondered if Zhou Yuanyuan would be angry. Cao Zhizhi was a little anxious.
Zhou Yuanyuan didn't even look at Cao Yizhi, nor did she nod or greet him, which made Cao Yizhi so embarrassed that he didn't know what to say.
Fortunately, Zhu Xiaojun spoke up and relieved Cao's embarrassment.
"Zhou Yuanyuan, I'm sorry. I originally wanted to take a piece of clothing, but my aunt refused to give it to me. How about a pillowcase?" Zhu Xiaojun held up a pillowcase in his hand with an expectant look on his face.
Huh? Why does this pillowcase look so familiar? Liu Meifang blinked.
Before Liu Meifang could say anything, Zhou Yuanyuan called out to Zhu Xiaojun, "Let's go!" and walked towards the bathroom.
Zhu Xiaojun hurried to catch up.
Cao hesitated for a moment, then turned to Liu Meifang and said, "Meifang, don't you want to go home? Let me take you back!"
Liu Meifang looked at the backs of Zhu Xiaojun and Zhou Yuanyuan, with hesitation on her face.
