Chapter 70 - Shattered Dreams

Because he did not want to continue learning belly dancing, Ji Wen went to his grandfather for help. However, when Old Master Ji saw his grandson, he immediately thought of his own blue and white porcelain vase, so he firmly refused to help his grandson. Ji Wen went to his parents again. His father said, “I don’t care.” His mother said, “I can’t help.”

Ji Wen’s request for help was hopeless, and Fang Xiaonuan was unreliable. He could only pack his luggage in the middle of the night and escape from the Ji family’s home.



In the blink of an eye, it was the start of school. Fang Xiaonuan packed her belongings, picked up her school bag, and was prepared to leave.

Ji Wen was also caught. It was said that the day after he left, Ji Lingchen had caught him and sent him to the dance club to continue his classes.

These days, Ji Wen’s bones were in pain as if they had been broken and reconnected.

Fang Xiaonuan could not stand it any longer. Once, she intercepted Ji Lingchen and tried to persuade him to take back his decision to make Ji Wen learn to dance.

Unexpectedly, Ji Lingchen had coldly and arrogantly rejected her. “If there’s a next time, you’ll join him in that class!”

This frightened Fang Xiaonuan so much that she did not dare to say anything more.

It was finally the start of school. This meant that Ji Wen was safe during the day. However, Ji Lingchen had changed his dance class from day to night. After learning about this, Ji Wen suddenly felt that he had no more hope in life.

On the first day of school, Fang Xiaonuan went to the academic affairs office with her school bag and certificate to change majors. Liu Siyu personally accompanied her to go through the procedures.

Ji Wen also saw Liu Siyu. When the three of them met, Fang Xiaonuan and Liu Siyu laughed evilly.

Liu Siyu asked Ji Wen, “Oh dear, how’s our little brother Ji Wen’s dance training going?”

Ji Wen thought of his own experience and gritted his teeth. “Liu Siyu, Fang Xiaonuan, did I owe you two in my past life? You’ve come to punish me in this life.”

Fang Xiaonuan wanted to change her major, while Ji Wen wanted to change shifts to escape from the tigress. However, when they arrived at the administrative office, the teacher told the two of them, “Neither of your demands is acceptable.”

Liu Siyu said, “Teacher, are you mistaken? During the summer vacation, Fang Xiaonuan’s student status was clearly transferred to the business school. I still have the transfer certificate and the signatures of the two principals. Why can’t it work now?”

The teacher at the academic affairs office did not check further and did not hide anything. Instead, he replied, “It’s your family members who did not agree to your transfer and informed the higher-ups. Why don’t you discuss it with your family members before coming back?”

“My parents have not interfered with my decisions since I was ten. Teacher, you should find a more reliable reason for lying!” Fang Xiaonuan frowned and questioned the teacher.

Ji Wen said, “That’s right! I can testify to her words. Even if she can’t change majors, why can’t I change classes?”

The teacher from the academic affairs office smiled and said, “Young Master Ji, you should go back and ask your uncle about this. Your uncle is a major shareholder of our school. We don’t dare to disobey his words.”

Ji Lingchen had never interfered in his nephew’s school life before. Ji Wen was already highly regarded in the school just because he was the second generation of an official. The people around him did not know what kind of official his father was. If others found out that he was Ji Lingchen’s biological nephew, this kid would get to do whatever he wanted in school. That was why Ji Lingchen and Mayor Ji never let Ji Wen enjoy the convenience of their status.

This was the first time Ji Lingchen had interfered with his nephew’s matters, which was actually because of Fang Xiaonuan.

When Ji Lingchen mentioned this matter when he was having a meal with the school leader, everyone’s jaws dropped in shock. Ji Wen’s father was actually the mayor of this city, and his uncle was actually the king of the business world.

Therefore, the principal immediately adjusted Ji Wen and Fang Xiaonuan’s school records according to Ji Lingchen’s instructions. The people involved in this matter also knew of Ji Wen’s identity and began to address him as a young master.

Ji Wen began to feel uneasy. He looked at Fang Xiaonuan and was about to ask her if his uncle had done something to her when he noticed that Fang Xiaonuan’s young and tender face was tightly furrowed.

Fang Xiaonuan asked the teacher in the academic affairs office, “Teacher, Ji Lingchen was also the one who stopped my transfer certificate, right?”

The teacher in the academic affairs office nodded at Fang Xiaonuan. They were also very puzzled. It was fine if Ji Wen was Ji Lingchen’s nephew, but they understood why he did not want to transfer him to classes in other majors. However, Fang Xiaonuan was just an ordinary student. Why would Ji Lingchen bother to manage her affairs?

Because they did not know Fang Xiaonuan’s identity, the academic affairs office people did not respect her much.

Fang Xiaonuan slammed the documents in her hands onto the table with great force, then turned around and left the academic affairs office. She had come to school early in the morning in high spirits, hoping to start the new classes with new students. However, now she realized that it was not happening. The beautiful dream of spending time with her old friends was shattered by Ji Lingchen.

“Xiaonuan, where are you going?” Liu Siyu shouted from behind her.
