“I know… I’ve never thought of him as my father… Sometimes, I even suspect that I’m not his biological son, but the paternity test shattered all my hopes… I didn’t think of this world that much. If I had a choice, I would rather not have been born.”

Ming Qianye picked up a piece of cheese-baked lobster from the plate in front of her and smiled.

“Is this the bright sadness of youth? If you weren’t born, you wouldn’t have a consciousness. Life is still very interesting. If you discover more things, you will find many things and things quite meaningful. Go out and be free. Don’t restrain yourself.”

“I’m not as open-minded as you,”

Lou Che said.

“That’s because you haven’t tried it yet. When I was your age, all I could think about was scholarships. I was thinking about how to finish my studies quickly and successfully graduate and work where I wanted to. With that goal in mind, I just had to grit my teeth and go for it. Look at this beautiful and prosperous S City. One day, you will fight for a place here.”

As he listened, Lou Che also looked at the bustling night scenery below. Facing the brilliant lights, for a moment, he really felt small…

“Do you really think… I can get better? Do you believe that I can get into G University?”

After a long time, Lou Che suddenly looked at her and asked seriously.

Ming Qianye nodded, her eyes full of trust and determination. “I’ve never underestimated the determination of a hardworking person. Miracles often happen to these sort of people.”

Just like the Devil back then…

Every time his illness acted up, those people thought that he would not be able to persevere. However, he still lived tenaciously until now. In fact, even a sickly person like him could still live so beautifully, be overflowing with talent, and be so all-rounded. Even she admired him from the bottom of her heart.

“Thank you…”

A glimmer of light suddenly appeared in Lou Che’s eyes, and a rare, imperceptible smile appeared on his face.

Since that was the case, he would give it his all. In the end, he did not want to regret it, nor did he want other’s efforts to be in vain…

After this conversation, Ming Qianye clearly felt that Lou Che seemed to have changed a lot. He also seemed to be more enthusiastic.

When he returned to Wen Lan that night, he took the initiative to revise on his own. He even asked her for advice on a few difficult questions.

The siblings worked hard to revise until past one in the morning before resting.

The next morning, Lou Che woke up early and packed his things without Ming Qianye’s reminder.

Lou Che was also considered to be staying at school. He would have lunch in the morning and at noon. After school, he would go straight to G University at night. After he finished his revision over there, he would go back to school for the night. He would go back to Wenlan Central on the weekends.

The two schools were very close to each other, so it was convenient to go back and forth.

Ming Qianye planned to use nighttime to tutor him. He had a very full schedule.

…

Night fell quietly, and the entire S City was enveloped in brilliant lights.

After suffering setbacks one after another, Mu Ziyi was in a very bad mood. He did not know what was going on in Ring City. It was fine if the character that he had originally agreed on suddenly changed his mind, but he even canceled their partnership!

Moreover, it was not only the Mu family that was affected, but also the Cheng family’s Ya Cheng!

The two brothers did not understand the situation at the moment. Although they tried their best to remedy the situation, the people in Ring City refused to meet them, let alone give them any reason!

Mu Ziyi finally realized that they had probably provoked someone!

He was also unwilling to let his father step in, lest those people caught him red-handed again. It was not easy for him to stabilize the situation now.

In his frustration, Mu Ziyi called Cheng Hao and asked him out.

The two of them used to go to Orange Night to have fun.

But…

“I’m sorry, gentlemen, but your memberships have been restricted. You can’t go in.”

At the entrance of Orange Night, Mu Ziyi and Cheng Hao were stopped by the security officers at the door. When they heard this, they started to question their whole lives!

Cheng Hao widened his eyes and looked at the ungrateful security officer in front of him. He sneered and said, “You little security officer, are you new here? We can’t go in? I think you’re asking to be fired! Do you know who he is?”

Cheng Hao was furious. As he spoke, he pointed at Mu Ziyi beside him.

Mu Ziyi’s face was cold and gloomy as he stared coldly at the security officer in front of him.

“I’m sorry, sirs. Of course, I know that you are Third Young Master Mu and President Cheng of Yacheng, but your memberships are indeed restricted. I hope you can understand that we are just following the rules. Please don’t make things difficult for us! Thank you!”

“It’s not…”

Cheng Hao was so angry that he almost laughed. He pointed at Mu Ziyi and said, “You f*cking know our identities but you still won’t let us in? Don’t tell me you don’t know who gave you the clothes you’re wearing? The Mu Family is one of the behind-the-scenes bosses of your Orange Night, yet you still dare to stop them. Do you want to quit? If you want to quit, quickly pack your things and get lost!”

Cheng Hao was really furious!

Originally, Lou Qianwei’s matter had already made him feel guilty and heartbroken. Now that Yi Jie from Ring City had done this again, causing them to break their promise to Lou Qianwei and their collaboration to go down the drain, he was really depressed!

He had long suppressed his anger!

“What’s going on?”

After receiving the news, the manager walked over.

“Brother Chen…”

Seeing the manager, the security officer quickly called out, heaving a sigh of relief.

The man called Brother Chen had a refined appearance. He was more than 1.7 meters tall and had a well-proportioned and strong figure. However, he exuded a ruthless aura from head to toe. His deep eyes were so cold, he did not look like a good person. Moreover, Mu Ziyi had never seen this person before!

Mu Ziyi couldn’t help but be surprised. He knew the manager very well and recognized him, but now…

“Who are you? Where’s Fang Mao? Where did he go? We want to see your manager. Get him out!”

Chen Si’s face was cold, as if it was covered in a layer of frost. His sharp eagle-like eyes swept across Mu Ziyi and Cheng Hao. A cold expression flashed across his face as he said coldly,

“I’m in charge here. What can I do for you?”

His cold voice did not sound safe to provoke. Mu Ziyi’s face darkened slightly. Just as he was about to say something, Cheng Hao, who was beside him, shouted angrily,

“You’re the manager here? Where did Fang Mao go? Do you know that you’re…”

“Fang Mao has already been fired. There’s a new owner here. I heard you say that the Mu family is the behind-the-scenes boss here? Why haven’t I heard of that?”

Chen Si let out a cold laugh. The coldness that radiated from him was terrifying!

“Fired… How is that possible? This…”

Cheng Hao frowned, doubting his hearing. He looked at Mu Ziyi in surprise!
