“Juncheng is a good child,” Kang Weizhen said softly.
This time, it was Sheng Yang’s turn to twitch her lips. This was the first time she heard someone praise Yi Juncheng for being a good child. Perhaps Yi Juncheng had acted too well in front of her mother, so it was enough to deceive everyone.
But she could not bear to expose her mother’s fantasy.
Hence, she did not nod or shake her head. This way, she was not lying.
After Kang Weizhen left, even though Sheng Yang thought that asking her to choose only one person was a little strange, she still unconsciously thought about it. If she really could only choose one…
When she thought of Yi Juncheng, her heart suddenly pounded violently.

The next day, Huang Xiangyu appeared at the entrance of the house again and looked around.
The villagers of Bai Luan were very upright. The families rarely had the habit of closing their doors as no thieves would enter. However, if an ordinary person saw her like this, they couldn’t help but suspect that she was a thief.
After spending a few days together, Huang Xiangyu could tell that the third son of the Sheng family was simple-minded. As for the second son, he was elegant and gentle. He was the dream lover of countless girls and was very soft-hearted. He was the easiest to deal with.
Then, she saw the man in sunglasses again. It was obvious that he had seen her too.
If the first time was a coincidence, then the second time was not a coincidence. The other party sized her up and was very vigilant.
Huang Xiangyu was not afraid at all. She felt that the other party might have the same intention as her and was coveting something from the Sheng family.
However, the other party’s gaze was a little too sharp and cold. The weather was so hot, but he made her shiver.
Fortunately, the other party didn’t say anything and left just like yesterday.
Not long after, Huang Xiangyu saw Sheng Yang’s gentle second brother walk out. Her heart immediately pounded and her gaze was firm.
This time… if she didn’t succeed, she would die trying!
“Ahh—” Huang Xiangyu pretended to sprain her ankle. This time, she went all out and fell straight forward. She wanted to save the damsel in distress.
Sheng Hanjing was a soft-hearted person. When he saw her falling, he didn’t know whether to help her or not. After thinking about it, he lifted his leg and kicked something over.
Huang Xiangyu closed her eyes. As expected, she did not fall to the ground. However, to her surprise, she did not fall into the warm embrace of a handsome man. She had landed on something soft, but it had a strange taste.
She opened her eyes and saw that it was an old mattress. It was extremely dirty, and upon closer inspection, there were stains on it. As someone who grew up in the countryside, she could tell at a glance that it was a urine stain left behind by a dog!
“Pah, pah, pah!” Huang Xiangyu’s beautiful face turned pale as she jumped about.
Sheng Yuxi came out with his small basket on his back again. He had been having fun going up and down the hill for the past few days. When he saw this scene, his mind cleared up and he quickly looked at Second Brother.
Sheng Yuxi couldn’t help but shudder when he saw Second Brother’s secretive smile.
In the past, he always felt that Second Brother was the easiest person to get along with in this family. He seemed to have no temper at all. Could it have been his imagination all along?

Bai Luan was a small village, so the news that Sheng Yang had not done well in her exam spread like wildfire.
It was normal that she did not do well. It would be abnormal if she did well.. How could the education here compare to Yan City? It was a predestined outcome.
