Ming Qi’s face turned green, but he couldn’t refute it.
Sheng Yang ate a mouthful of mutton then said, “Actually I don’t know him very well. No, to be exact—I don’t even know him.”
Lu Zhiyuan was taken aback, and Ming Qi almost choked with laughter.
Lu Zhiyuan asked with persistence, “He’s your eldest brother. How could you not know him?”
Sheng Yang raised her eyes and said slowly, “I’ve never met him.”
“Hahaha…” Ming Qi was clutching his stomach. “Oh my god… I’m not as stupid as a certain someone.”
He repeated what Lu Zhiyuan said earlier.
Cleverness might overreach itself.
Lu Zhiyuan glared at Ming Qi but didn’t say anything more.

They weren’t out for hot pot too late. Sheng Yang glanced at the time and picked up her school bag. “My mother wants me to go home before eight o’clock.”
Ming Qi and Lu Zhiyuan exchanged glances. Since when did Sheng Yang become so obedient?
So Lu Zhiyuan took Sheng Yang in his flashy Benz to her front door.
Yi Juncheng watched from the balcony next door. He knew of their existence, but they didn’t seem to know of him.
Although they were all once rescued by Sheng Yang, he knew he was different from them.
On the balcony, Yi Juncheng smiled charmingly. Behind him was a sky of starlight and he waved to Sheng Yang to show his presence.
Sheng Yang also waved her little hand at him.
Ming Qi felt uncomfortable. Somehow he got the feeling that a beautiful pig was eating his cabbage. He raised his eyes. “Who is he?”
Lu Zhiyuan also frowned, feeling that he seemed to have seen this guy somewhere.
“My neighbor,” Sheng Yang said lightly. She then said goodbye to them and entered the house.
Standing on the balcony, Yi Juncheng looked at the two people leaning on the Benz and sizing him up with their eyes. He was very polite and allowed them to look him up and down.
Gao Feng, hiding in the dark, was shocked. When did Young Master become so good-tempered?
In the living room, Kang Weizhen came up to greet her. “Yangyang, are you back?”
The fireplace at home was already turned on in late autumn, but the house somehow felt deserted when Yangyang was away. Once she returned, however, the house seemed to become warmer and even the temperature seemed to rise by several degrees, and her heart was warm.
Sheng Yang nodded and asked casually, “Has Eldest Brother returned home?
She asked this because Lu Zhiyuan had told her.
Kang Weizhen was shocked, but she knew she couldn’t keep it from Yangyang, so she nodded guiltily.
A child is better unborn than untaught.
Although Yangyang didn’t say anything, Kang Weizhen felt her receding back looked a bit sad.
She thought: Yangyang must be very sad!
Yangyang is so clever and sensible. Who could resist her charm? Only Sheng Tingze, that rebellious son! He must be blind!
She was so mad at him!
Kang Weizhen rushed upstairs, hid in her room, and took out her cell phone.
She called her eldest son. Before he could say anything, she snapped angrily, “Sheng Tingze, what’s your problem? Do you want your sister to go to the office to see you? I’ll give you twelve hours. If you don’t get your ass back here, I’ll…”
She rolled her eyes. “I’ll go on a hunger strike!”
Sheng Tingze held his forehead helplessly. “As you like.”
It wasn’t that he was cold-hearted but he knew Dad would never let Ma starve.
Her threat was unimplementable.
“Sheng Tingze, you really are heartless!”
“Mom, are you just getting to know me…?”
At her wit’s end, Kang Weizhen covered her face and cried out, “Don’t you feel bad for your sister?
