At this moment, Yu Xi appeared. “You leave first. I’ll speak to Yujie.”
“Yes,” the housekeeper replied before he quickly stepped back.
Jian Yujie turned and looked at Yu Xi in the eye. “Where is Yiling?”
“Your sister was too tired from studying recently. When she came here in the morning, her eyes were bloodshot. I took her to a guest room to sleep.”
“Don’t lie to me, Yu Xi.”
“Don’t you believe my words Yujie?”
Yu Xi was curious. He didn’t think that his creditability was that low.
“It’s not you that I don’t believe.”
He just didn’t believe in the other person who was living in the house.
Although he didn’t speak the next half of the sentence, Yu Xi understood what he meant.
Yu Xi patted Jian Yujie on the shoulder and whispered to him, “Don’t worry. He doesn’t harm women. Let alone Yiling.”
If Master Sheng did do such things to women, the Zhai family wouldn’t have asked Yu Xi such a favor.

As time passed, many people began to arrive at the Yu Residence.
Everyone who arrived were individuals of a certain social status in Hengyuan City.
It was a social gathering for young people. The oldest there was not over 25 years old.
Everyone arrived at a punctual time.
Although the party was organized by Yu Xi, everyone knew who lived in the Yu Residence at this moment.
The Yu family prepared enough food for everyone. They also arranged for party games and various performances.
However, no one saw Master Sheng.
There was time to have fun at any party. But it wasn’t any day of the year where you could have the opportunity to meet Master Sheng.
Qiu Yizhen and Mo Shiyun also appeared at the party.
Based on the relationship between Yu Simiao and Qiu Liyao, a party that Yu Xi hosted would definitely have Qiu Yizhen invited to it.
Qiu Yizhen didn’t come by herself. She also brought along Mo Shiyun. Mo Shiyun had a good relationship with Qiu Yizhen.
Mo Shiyun spoke in a low voice, “Sister Qiu, I don’t think I should be here…”
“What’s wrong? It’s normal to bring someone along for a party. Plus, it’s not a formal banquet or something. It doesn’t matter if I bring a friend. There are no technicalities involved.”
Qiu Yizhen reassured Mo Shiyun. Seeing that Mo Shiyun still appeared in uncomfortable in the situation, she couldn’t help but say:
“Don’t be so afraid of causing people trouble. I’ve told you before. We are basically sisters. Don’t act like a stranger.”
“It’s not that I’m afraid to cause you trouble. I’m just scared that I’ll embarrass you.” Mo Shiyun said softly.
“No way. You’re much better than these dudes here who only know how to drink and have fun all day! You’re hardworking, talented, and also have a good personality.”
“I’m not as good as you say I am.”
“Okay okay, I’ll take you to find something to eat. On the left is the dessert section. On the right is the fruit. There’s also an area for barbecue and seafood. There’s Australian lobster and also the highest quality sashimi here. Take whatever you want to eat.”
Qiu Yizhen knew that it was the first time for Mo Shiyun to attend an event like this. She was afraid that she was not used to the environment and thus, she took her to eat.
“Qiu Yizhen, who is this girl next to you? I’ve never seen her before.”
A man walked over. He was a bit taller than 170 centimeters and appeared slightly chubby.
The man’s face was full of smiles. He appeared to be quite familiar with Qiu Yizhen.
Qiu Yizhen knew a lot of people. However, it was the first time for Mo Shiyun to appear in such a setting. Several people didn’t know who she was.
“This is my friend. Her name is Mo Shiyun. She’s one of the top students in our school. An incredibly talented girl.” Qiu Yizhen introduced.
Following Qiu Yizhen’s introduction, the man spoke about himself, “I am Ji Ming from the number one secondary school of Hengyuan City. Qiu Yizhen’s a good mate of mine.”
