"Yeah, I'm reviewing a book." Xi Yu lowered his voice, and his voice was slow and gentle when he spoke, sounding like he was acting like a spoiled child. "What about the young master? He hasn't slept either?"

"jet lag."

Xi Yu paused and smiled, "Oh, yeah, I forgot."

Soudou seemed to be looking through something, and there was the sound of papers shuffling, "Are you okay?"

"Well, my mom is fine except for her unstable mood. I also asked my classmates to highlight the key points at school, so self-study shouldn't be a problem."

Zong Du snorted, "Don't you miss me?"

Xi Yu opened his mouth to speak, but his stomach churned and he dry-heaved twice subconsciously.

"What?" Zong Du's voice was unhappy, "What sound?"

"Nothing," Xi Yu rubbed his chest, "It was the voice of other patients in the hospital."

Was she already starting to feel physically nauseous towards Soudou?

I actually started retching and feeling nauseous because of his words.

Afraid that Zong Du would say something that would disgust her again, Xi Yu changed the subject, "Master, I want to form a dance troupe with my friends."

"Um?"

"Summer vacation is coming soon, and I want to find something to do. If I set up a dance troupe, I can get some opportunities to perform on stage, and maybe even make some money."

Zong Du was a little surprised, "Don't you want to join the senior dance troupe?"

Xi Yu smiled bitterly, "I think I probably won't be able to get in."

Although the rumor has been resolved, it is not so easy to just ignore the rumors. As long as she dares to apply, someone in the school will definitely bring up the past and point fingers at her.

Schools also have to consider the impact.

Not to mention the matter of Wang Jin.

Although the school didn't say it, Xi Yu felt that he should have been blacklisted.

Xi Yu, "Since I'm not going abroad, I have to prepare to stay. I'm going to be a senior soon, and I'll graduate in a year, so I have to find something to do."

"You can ask Li Rui for help with the procedures."

"Thank you." Xi Yu thanked sincerely.

"As long as you listen, I can give you anything." Zongdu's voice was lower, and it seemed particularly gentle, "You have to stay with me."

"Yes, if I don't stay with you, where else can I go?" Xi Yu stared at the ground with unfocused eyes, and his voice was vague, "I will be obedient."

...

Paris.

After hanging up the phone, Zong Du pinched his brows and leaned back on the sofa.

Lu Rang brought hot tea and said, "Master, all matters in France have been dealt with. I have bought a flight for tomorrow morning."

"Um."

"In addition," Lu Rang observed Zong Du's expression and saw that he seemed to be in a good mood, so he chose his words carefully, "In the early morning in China, Lin Yanyan learned that Miss Xi was in the same hospital as her and intended to commit murder."

The action of pinching his eyebrows paused, and Zong Du looked up.

There was a cold light in his dark eyes, and his face was expressionless. But it seemed as if he would suddenly jump up in the next second, revealing his white teeth that could tear his prey to pieces.

He sneered, "It seems that the lesson given to the Lin family was not enough."

Lu Rang lowered his head.

The Zong and Lin families are not as peaceful as the news says.

Ever since the incident on the engagement day, the Lin family has been trying to turn against them.

The Zong family has been suppressing the situation with all their might, causing the Lin family to be extremely anxious during this period.

The news was released unilaterally by the Zong family. Zong Du didn't care whether the Lin family was willing or what their current situation was.

But, Lin Yanyan actually dared to attack Xi Yu.

Zong Du's voice was as hoarse as the stone on the iceberg that never melts. "Xi Yu wants to form a dance troupe. Let the Lin family give her a big gift."

Lu Rang paused and obeyed the order respectfully.

...

The next morning, Xi Yu couldn't help retching as soon as he got up.

After the doctor took Zhuang Yi's blood pressure, he saw Xi Yu feeling unwell and suggested that she get a check-up.

After the doctor left, Zhuang Yi frowned and looked at Xi Yu for a while, and suddenly her eyes fell on Xi Yu's lower abdomen, "Yu Yu, are you pregnant?"

"No," Xi Yu took a sip of water to suppress his pressure, "Maybe it's a stomach problem."

"How could it be a stomach problem?" Zhuang Yi said stubbornly, "Go get a blood test. I think it's very likely."

Xi Yu was too lazy to explain to her.

Zhuang Yi was about to persuade her, but Li Rui came in with breakfast, "Miss Xi, the madam wants you to go home."

Xi Yu was a little surprised, "Madam?"

"Yes," Li Rui did not seem worried. "I have already asked the young master for instructions, and he said you can go back by yourself."

Go back by yourself?

Zong Du asked Li Rui to follow her back. Although it was meant to monitor her, it was also meant to protect her.

He said to let me go back, that means...

"No," Zhuang Yi said with an unpleasant expression, "How can we let Xixi go back alone? If Madam takes action, Xixi won't be able to handle it alone."

Xi Yu sneered, "Deal with it? When will I be able to 'deal with it' when my wife hits me?"

Zhuang Yi paused, apparently remembering how she had forced Xi Yu to kneel down and apologize, and she was speechless.

Xi Yu retracted his gaze and looked at Li Rui, "I'll be back after breakfast."

Li Rui responded, and whispered as Xi Yu left, "The young master said this is a gift for you."

Gift?

Xi Yu became even more curious.

...

After taking a taxi back to the Zong family, Xi Yu was stopped by Aunt Liang who was guarding the door as soon as he arrived at the door.

"Xixi, you have to be careful later!" Aunt Liang took Xixi's hand and walked slowly inside. "It wasn't Madam who asked you to come back, it was Madam Lin."

Xi Yu blinked, "Lin? Lin Yanyan's..."

"It's Miss Lin's mother!" Aunt Liang whispered, "I don't know what happened to her, she came here early in the morning, clamoring to see you.

You don’t know, it was still dark when she came, her face was severely swollen, and her eyes were shaped like walnuts.”

"...Do you know why?"

"Why else? Anyone with a discerning eye can tell that she was beaten!" Aunt Liang felt very relieved, "It serves her right! Her daughter has lost her sense of propriety. There is no good person in this family!"

Xi Yu glanced at the porch and asked, "Where is Madam? What does Madam mean?"

"My wife had a quarrel with her, and then she sent someone to call you."

Xi Yu became even more curious about the "gift".

Although he didn't know what Zong Du was up to, since he dared to let him come here alone, it meant that there would be no danger on this trip today.

But she had never even met Lin's mother, so why did the other party ask her to come over?

Are you apologizing for what happened in the early morning?

After thanking Aunt Liang, Xi Yu entered the living room.

Having not been back for many days, Xi Yu felt a little unfamiliar when he saw the Zong family's extravagant living room again.

Mrs. Zong was sitting on the sofa, drinking coffee quietly.

Sitting on the single sofa on the left is a beautiful woman, wearing an elegant cheongsam, with her hair in a bun, and a dignified and noble manner.

She is a gentle and beautiful lady.

Unfortunately, there was obvious edema on her face, and her exaggerated Ou Shuang had turned into goldfish eyes, making her originally elegant and luxurious look ridiculous.

Xi Yu retracted his gaze, walked to Mrs. Zong, lowered his head and said, "Madam."
