Xia Mengyan burned with rage. She was about to become Fang Shiyun’s apprentice and enjoy endless glory, but Qiao Xi did not care at all?

She only felt her breathing stop and her heart ache. She could not help but clench her fists.

At this moment, Xia Cheng frowned and said, “It’s fine if she doesn’t want to come. She’ll only embarrass the Xia family if she comes.”

A trace of pride flashed past Xia Mengyan’s eyes. Perhaps Qiao Xi was afraid that she would be mocked if she came, so she hid and did not dare to come.

On the way home, Ai Sumei already knew that Qiao Xi had cheated and was discovered. She was extremely excited. As expected, that little b*tch could not compare to Mengyan. She could finally go up against to Yin Lianxin.

Before long, Mengyan would become Fang Shiyun’s apprentice, while Qiao Xi would be hated by everyone and expelled from the art industry. The more Ai Sumei thought about it, the happier she became. She wished for nothing more than to hold a apprenticeship banquet immediately and show off in front of Yin Lianxin.

“Mengyan, when is Mr. Fang coming?” Xia Cheng asked.

Xia Mengyan hesitated for a moment before replying, “Mr. Fang will be here on time.”

“Alright! I heard that Mr. Fang values this apprenticeship very much. You must work hard and seize this opportunity. With Mr. Fang’s help, I believe you’ll soon gain a foothold in the art industry.”

Xia Cheng smiled in satisfaction. “I’ll go to Yingyun Hall to make a reservation later. I’m afraid my subordinates won’t do a good job. They might delay our Xia family’s matters.”

Two days later, Fang Shiyun received an invitation from the Xia family to Yingyun Hall.

Fang Shiyun was stunned for a few seconds. “The Xia family?”

The assistant replied respectfully, “Yes, the Xia family said that they’ve booked a private room in Yingyun Hall tomorrow. They hope you can come.”

Fang Shiyun waved her hand. “I don’t have time. I’ve already made an appointment with Senior. We haven’t seen each other for so long. No matter what, it can’t stop us from meeting!”

The assistant’s mouth twitched slightly. “Are you sure… Miss Qiao has agreed to see you?”

Fang Shiyun blushed in embarrassment and replied stubbornly, “I’ve already asked my master. Senior will definitely see me. Stop nagging. Have you wrapped the gifts? Do you know where Senior is going tomorrow?”

The assistant hesitated for a moment before replying, “Mr. Liang said that Miss Qiao is going to Yingyun Hall.”

Senior was also going to Yingyun Hall?

Fang Shiyun frowned. He was afraid that if he went to Yingyun Hall, the Xia family would misunderstand.

After thinking for a moment, he nodded. “Alright! Quickly prepare the gifts. We’ll go to Yingyun Hall to look for Senior tomorrow!”

On the other hand, Qiao Xi received a call from the Yin family. They said that Yin Jinglin’s birthday was tomorrow and the Yin family had made a reservation at Yingyun Hall. They asked Qiao Xi if she had time to attend the birthday party.

Yin Jinglin’s birthday was naturally much more important than Xia Mengyan’s apprenticeship banquet, so Qiao Xi agreed without hesitation. Moreover, the Xia family had not called to get an answer from her. It seemed that they had only sent the invitation as a formality and did not want her to attend at all.

The next morning.

Qiao Xi got into the car with the birthday gift for Yin Jinglin. She leaned against Gu Zheng and asked softly, “Yingyun Hall has always been very mysterious. If you want to eat there, you have to make a reservation in advance, but the Yin family didn’t seem to have made a reservation.”

She was curious because there were only four restaurants in Li City that were sought after by the high society. Two of them were Fragrance Hotel and Furong Pavilion that was under Qin An’s name. Another was Yingyun Hall. Qin An had always treated Yingyun Hall as his competitor.

Yingyun Hall was low-profile and mysterious, but their annual income was the combined sum of Fragrance Hotel and Furong Pavilion. Qin An had always been very curious and had come to ask a few times, but the other party always told him that he could not enter without a reservation.

Later on, the famous hedonistic son of a wealthy family in Li City, Gu Yao, relied on his identity and did not bother to make a reservation either. He wanted to forcefully break into Yingyun Hall but was chased out.

Only then did Qiao Xi notice Yingyun Hall. No matter how powerful the other party was, Yingyun Hall insisted on following their rules. Those who did not make a reservation would not be able to enter at all. Hence, when she heard that the Yin family was holding the birthday banquet at Yingyun Hall, she was slightly puzzled.

“Yingyun Hall values rules the most. They won’t break them for anyone,” Qiao Xi said thoughtfully.

Gu Zheng nodded and smiled. “The rules of Yingyun Hall can’t be changed, but… we’re family.”

“Yingyun Hall belongs to the Yin family, so they don’t have to abide by the rules set for outsiders.” Gu Zheng looked at her with eyes filled with a doting smile.

Qiao Xi widened her eyes, then said in disbelief, “Yingyun Hall is… the Yin family’s property?”

Gu Zheng raised an eyebrow. “The Yin family’s businesses are all over the country. It’s not strange for them to have their own businesses in Li City.”
