"Wow, Yisen, you are a big shot. I have someone to back me up now."

But Chu Yisen only responded with a forced smile because he knew the difficulty of living in a big family where people were busy setting others up even though they were related by blood. He did not want to tell her this, so he readily promised, "Ha-ha, okay. Come to me when you are in need. I'll protect you." His tone was very serious.

Murong Xue was only making a joke. Instead of waiting for others, she preferred to be strong enough to protect the people she cared about. "Well, Yisen. Jokes aside. Let's go on. Tell me the other forces that I need to watch out in the capital."

"And the Mo Family. It occupies a very special place in the capital. Although the Mo Family has connections in politics, military, and business, the ranking of big families here does not count it in because it's not allowed. No family in the capital dares to offend them. As an ancient saying goes, businessmen can't fight with officials."

"No need. I know the Mo Family." Murong Xue said.

Chu Yisen was shocked, "Do you?" He wondered what background she had to enable a girl from A province to establish connections with the Mo Family as many people who tried to do the same failed.

"Yeah, Grandpa Mo's granddaughter and I are good friends, so we're very familiar with each other." Murong Xue smiled.

"Granddaughter?" Chu Yisen only knew that Mo Changfeng had the only grandson Mo Liufeng.

Murong Xue was confused but then she recalled that the Mo Family had left Mo Aili in A province since she was a child to protect her and it was always kept secret. In her last life, Mo Aili was unknown to the public until she was 23. "Yisen, do me a favor. The Mo Family keeps it secret to protect her, so please don't tell anyone."

"Don't worry. I won't say anything." Chu Yisen was only impressed by how successful they were in keeping it secret.

"Thank you, Yisen."

"Then, the Qin Family, ranking third in the capital. They are mostly involved in the industries of tourism, entertainment, and hotels. The largest hotels here are all theirs. The fourth is the Fang Family. They have department stores and shopping malls. The next one is the Zhang Family, a family of medicine. There are also many other families, but the five ones are unmatched."

"Okay. Now I have a picture of these. You're very reliable, Yisen." Murong Xue thanked him smilingly. Her smile made Chu Yisen relieve a lot. He still remembered she was in such a bad state last time, so seeing her good enough to continue her work eased his concerns. Besides, Chu Yisen believed that Shangguan Mo was not the right one for Murong Xue and he would hurt her soon or later as the former was arbitrary while the latter was sensitive and fragile. But Murong Xue looked fine right now.

"Although it's not a big deal, I want to warn you about another force. I didn't tell you at the beginning because I thought it was no need."

His serious face made Murong Xue become solemn, too, "What force? Is it more powerful than the five plutocrats?"

Chu Yisen nodded in agreement, "Yes, it's the Loong Pavilion."

"The Loong Pavilion? I've never heard of it." Murong Xue was completely at loss now. She did not know anything about it either in her last life or in this life.

"That's normal. Even the five plutocrats only know a little about it and we can't fight against it. Its leader still remains a mystery now, but the Loong Pavilion controls many countries' economies, which means it governs the fate of the world. That's all I know. Anyway, anyone who offends the Loong Pavilion is doomed."

Murong Xue's eyes were wide open as she could not imagine that such a powerful organization existed in the world. "Impossible. Are the countries willing to let their fate be decided by an organization?" She thought it was quite unimaginable.

"At first, a few countries tried to resist, but their economies collapsed and their people were mired in the subsequent financial crises, which almost destroyed these countries. After that, their surrender enabled these economies to revive, and no country dared to challenge it then. Besides, the Loong Pavilion has not done things harmful to the countries, so everyone turns a blind eye to it now. I don't know the details. But you need to remember, don't offend anyone of them. Don't worry. You probably won't meet them for the rest of your life."

Murong Xue agreed as she also thought she would not meet anyone from the Loong Pavilion, "Okay. I understand."

"Xue, do you have any plans later?"

"I'm free. What's up?" She had to discuss this with others later.

Chu Yisen raised a smile, "Let's go to the movies."

Murong Xue was caught by surprise, "Movie?"

He rubbed her head gently, "I'm also free this afternoon, so why don't we go and watch a movie?"

Murong Xue found it very reasonable, "Oh, sure."

A charming smile appeared on his face.

After parking the car nearby the shopping mall, they decided to walk to the cinema. The cinema was just near the shopping mall. Murong Xue only went to the movies with Mo Aili once in A province and she was too busy to watch films after that. She had never watched a film in the cinema in her last life.

Seeing the bustling crowd, she felt very peaceful and had a feeling of being alive.

"Yisen, why do you want to watch a movie?" Murong Xue asked curiously.

Great anticipation filled his eyes. "No one has come to see a movie with me. It was already very good to get enough food and warm clothes and I didn't dare to dream such things at that time. But my mother once said having someone who had seen a movie with you would make your life complete. I didn’t understand at that time. But I understand what that means now." Chu Yisen knew that his mother only wanted him to find someone who could accompany him.

Seeing his dazed smile, Murong Xue felt very sorry for her friend, so she held his hand and comforted him in a soft voice, "I'm here with you. We can watch the film together." She did not ask about his previous days as she knew it must be very dark. She understood that was his scar, and she never wanted to uncover hers, either.

The two walked hand in hand with a slight smile on both of their faces, and their attractive appearances won them gazes from passersby.

Shangguan Mo and Bai Xueli standing not far away also noticed them. Shangguan Mo just came back and he was worn down by Bai Xueli to go shopping with her, but he did not expect to see this today.

Shangguan Mo clenched his fists and his eyes became red. Only he knew that he lost sleep every night these days, but he found Murong Xue was different. She seemed to have already moved forward. It really hurt him that she was with another man while he was still suffering from heartbreak.

After a while, he could not refrain from walking up to them and stared hard at Murong Xue. Bai Xueli caught up with him in high heels and held his arm.

Murong Xue was caught off guard when she suddenly saw Shangguan Mo. Her face paled. Her body trembled slightly, and she squeezed Chu Yisen's hand harder and harder.

Chu Yisen looked at her with a worried face and he could not figure out what Shangguan Mo was doing now. In his eyes, since Shangguan Mo was with others, he should not show up or hurt Murong Xue again. Chu Yisen dragged her and walked to the side, "Xue, let's go to the cinema now."

Murong Xue followed Chu Yisen in staggering steps and her mind was totally occupied by Shangguan Mo. She did not understand why he appeared in front of her again since he was with Bai Xueli now. She thought he might want to show off, but she could not afford to be hurt one more time as she was badly wounded.

Shangguan Mo stepped forward and stopped Murong Xue, "You left me for him?" His eyes were very dark as if he would have broken her neck if she had answered yes.

His words only added to her scars. Even if Murong Xue fell in love with him, she now felt that she had to maintain her dignity, so she was cold, "Please don't blame others for your fault. I broke up with you only because of someone else around you. And, my life has nothing to do with you since then."

Shangguan Mo squeezed her hand so hard that her slender white hand was bruised. Chu Yisen asked coldly, "What are you doing? Let go of her."

"Shut up. It's none of your business." Shangguan Mo threatened Chu Yisen with homicidal intent in his eyes.

Seeing Bai Xueli clinging to Shangguan Mo's arm, Murong Xue fired back with satire, "Will the lady beside you be happy to see you holding my hand?"

Bai Xue bit her lip to cover her embarrassment. She was ashamed to see her man lose temper for another woman, but she would not allow others to attack her with this, especially Murong Xue, the one she hated the most.

With tears dropping down from her red eyes, she asked in a shaking voice, "Mo..."

Shangguan Mo suddenly lost grip when he heard Bai Xueli's voice, and then he let go of Murong Xue. He looked at Bai Xueli with a complex expression and he really regretted returning to the villa after drinking a lot that night. He wished that...

Murong Xue was not in the mood to play with them now, so she held Chu Yisen's hand and walked towards the cinema. She squeezed his hand very hard as if she would have broken down any moment if she hadn’t done this. She said in a trembling voice, "Yisen, let's go."
