The capital city, the Enchanting Bar.
Inside the private room, the man leaned back on the leather sofa with his legs crossed and eyes closed. His hair was as black as ink, his nose was high and straight, and his lips were moist and red.
The black silk shirt had its cuffs rolled up several times, revealing half of the wrist.
His slender, fair fingers fiddled with his phone, the light illuminating his face, highlighting his sharp features and giving him a cool and aloof air.
"Damn it, Brother Chen, Hakimi said that M is too busy to take our order, which is a hundred million!" Ye Chuan scratched his head in frustration, his eyes filled with disbelief.
Ji Yanchen slightly raised his chin and said calmly, "Five hundred million."
"Wow, is it really that bad, Brother Chen? I don't believe our people can't find this miracle doctor even if they search the ground three feet deep."
Upon hearing this, Ji Yanchen lifted his eyelids and glanced at him with his deep eyes, "You've been looking for half a month and still can't find it?"
Ye Chuan coughed lightly, touched the bridge of his nose, and said sheepishly, "Brother Chen, give me a little more time, I'll definitely find it for you!"
"Go and raise the price until they agree." Ji Yanchen rubbed his temples, picked up his suit jacket, and got up to leave the private room.
Ye Chuan stared at the laptop screen with a furrowed brow, the keyboard clattering loudly.
"Damn it, what a lousy name this hacker group came up with, Hakimi Hakimi Hakimi..."

The next day, at the Gu family villa.
Yun Rujin's expression turned solemn. She put down her knife and fork, looked up at the direction of the stairwell, and said, "Does Shi Miao have any manners at all? She hasn't gotten up yet. She must be from the countryside."
Gu Yunbai ate breakfast while reading the newspaper, without saying a word, though he felt a slight dissatisfaction.
Gu Yanxin's eyes flickered slightly. After taking a sip of milk, she spoke softly, "Mom, don't be angry. My sister must have gone to bed too late last night. I'll go upstairs and wake her up in a bit."
"Xinxin is so sensible, Mom isn't angry." Hearing her voice, Yun Rujin's anger subsided by half.
As soon as he finished speaking, Shi Miao walked over unhurriedly, carrying his schoolbag in one hand.
She placed her backpack on the empty seat next to her, then pulled out a chair and sat down casually.
Shi Miao's beautiful eyes were half-closed, with a hint of laziness at the corners. She reached out and picked up the bread from the plate, eating it slowly and deliberately.
Gu Yanxin's eyes sparkled as she said sweetly, "Sister, did you enjoy breakfast? Since we didn't know what you liked to eat, the kitchen made it according to my preferences. I think our tastes should be similar."
Shi Miao slowly finished the last bite of bread, patted the crumbs off her hands, and lazily said, "Has anyone ever told you not to talk while eating? And I should have said yesterday that I don't have a younger sister. Do you have a bad memory?"
"I..." Gu Yanxin bit her lip, her eyes misting over.
Yun Rujin raised her delicate eyebrows and scolded, "You got up so late and made everyone wait for you, and your sister is concerned about you, but you don't appreciate it. I think you've been in the countryside for too long and have no manners at all!"
Gu Yunbai put down his fork, frowned slightly, and said in a deep voice, "Shi Miao, you really went too far with your words."
Shi Miao raised an eyebrow, looking rather lazy, then glanced at him with a sharp gaze, and said in a rather indifferent tone, "Oh, I'm full. You guys take your time eating."
She then got up, picked up her black backpack, casually slung it over her shoulder, and walked towards the door, her tall and slender figure gradually disappearing from sight.
"Shi Miao!" Yun Rujin was so angry that her face turned green, and she shouted loudly.
Gu Yunbai rubbed his throbbing temples. "Alright! Enough with the arguing. You don't need to worry about Shi Miao anymore. The Gu family has plenty of money to support one more person, as long as she doesn't cause any trouble."
Upon hearing this, Yun Rujin calmed down as well. "Then, will the family reunion banquet still be held?"
"Cancel it. From now on, the Gu family will only have Xinxin as their eldest daughter." Gu Yunbai waved his hand.
Upon hearing this, a hint of joy appeared in Gu Yanxin's eyes; in the end, everything was still hers.
Yun Rujin: "By the way, how's Shi Miao's school selection going?"
Gu Yunbai said in a deep voice, "Let her go to the same school as Xinxin. That would be more than enough."
Gu Yanxin lowered her eyes, concealing her dissatisfaction, and said softly, "Dad, I will help my sister with her studies."
Gu Yunbai affectionately patted the top of her head and said with a smile, "This is my sweetheart. You can talk to Shi Miao about the school matter later."
Gu Yanxin nodded obediently, "Okay, Dad."
