Sheng Yang looked at her quietly, and after quite a while, she said seriously. “Humans can’t give birth to a monkey.”
“Pft!” Fang Duo couldn’t help bursting into laughter. Was that the point?
Yi Juncheng couldn’t help but smile when he heard what Fang Duo said, but then he was dumbfounded when he heard Sheng Yang’s words.
He smiled and said meaningfully, “Your friend is quite interesting.”

The next day, Fang Duo and Ou Ye told the students about their experience at the Sheng family home, and the students felt very envious. Not everyone could visit the Sheng family house and become friends with the Sheng family.
But they couldn’t blame anyone. They should’ve been friendlier to Sheng Yang in the first place.
She wasn’t an illegitimate daughter of Sheng You but the long-lost daughter of Sheng You and Kang Weizhen and her parents treated her even more intimately than their sons.
After meeting Yi Juncheng, Fang Duo was no longer obsessed with fixing up Sheng Yang and Han Jingyu. She asked with gusto, “Yangyang, so is he the man you said is even better-looking than Han Jingyu?”
Sheng Yang nodded.
“Wow, you really have good taste.”
Han Jingyu happened to pass by with a book in his arms and overhear their conversation.
Better-looking than me… Have a taste… So did Sheng Yang fall for some guy?
He suddenly felt a sharp pain inside. He returned to the classroom blankly and opened his book. His deskmate knocked on his table several times, but he didn’t even hear.
“God Han, God Han!” His deskmate couldn’t help but poke him twice before Han Jingyu finally came out of his reverie. “Huh?”
He was expressionless as usual but his eyes were dim and the gleam of perseverance in his eyes was gone.
His deskmate said awkwardly, “Well, you’re holding the book upside down…”
“Oh, OK.” Han Jingyu hurriedly turned the book around, embarrassed and shocked.
Since childhood, his favorite things were to study and get first place in exams. This hadn’t changed up until now.
But now, he was actually distracted by something.
It seemed that the most important thing in his life had become the second most important… He was shocked and his eyes darkened…
Depressed, Han Jingyu walked home dejectedly after school. When he walked to the school gates, he suddenly spotted a familiar figure which belonged to someone he hadn’t seen for a long time but was looking forward to seeing. “Uncle!”
Ming Qi, who thought he had a good disguise, ran away when he heard this voice. He didn’t come to see his nephew.
But seeing him running, Han Jingyu was even more certain that this guy was Ming Qi and ran faster after him.
He was no longer a kid and had grown much taller and stronger. As Han Jingyu caught up to him, Ming Qi could only stand in place, staring at him coldly. “Why are you chasing me?”
“Uncle, have you been in Yan City for a long time?” Han Jingyu had read the news about Ming Qi’s partnership with the Sheng family, but he didn’t tell Sheng Yue the famous Ming Qi was his uncle.
“Yeah,” Ming Qi said coldly, not any nicer to Han Jingyu although he was his nephew. This was his style.
“Why did you come to my school, Uncle?”
“I just passed by.”
“Why don’t we get dinner together? My treat.”
