Xing Jiuan stood by the window for a long time, looking out into the night.
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door. Xing Jiuan walked over and opened it.
“Jiuan.”
It was Senior Sister.
Xing Jiuan stepped back to let her in as she asked, “Senior Sister, what’s wrong?”
“Why do I feel that you’re not very happy during your return this time? Did you encounter something that made you upset?”
Xing Jiuan smiled and replied, “No, Senior Sister. Don’t think too much.”
Ever since she talked to the Master, she was suddenly no longer overwhelmed by too many thoughts for some strange reason. It was as if she was really at ease now.
Senior Sister looked at her carefully a few more times before saying, “It’s good that you’re happy. If you’ve really encountered something upsetting, don’t hold it in. You have so many senior brothers and sisters. We will always take care of you.”
Senior Sister raised her eyebrows and asked, “Do you understand?”
“Yes.” Xing Jiuan hugged her senior sister gently and nodded.
“Alright, I’m just here to see you. It’s getting late. Hurry up and sleep. Don’t you have to go back early tomorrow morning?”
“Senior Sister, do you know what I’m going to do?”
“Aren’t you attending a racing competition?” Senior Sister ruffled Xing Jiuan’s hair. “I’ll go with you tomorrow.
“So hurry and sleep. I’ll wake you up early tomorrow. You’re not allowed to lose your temper.”
Xing Jiuan had a rather bad morning temper. She would always be unhappy if she was woken up from a good sleep.
“Alright.”
The next morning, Xing Jiuan did not have the time to get to know her new junior brother. She left with her senior sister and returned to the capital.
Senior Sister drove the car during their journey and told Xing Jiuan to have a good rest so that she could prepare for the competition that night. Xing Jiuan did not know whether to laugh or cry.
On the way back, Xing Jiuan took a nap on the plane.
When she woke up again, they were about to reach the capital.
“You’re finally awake. I was just about to wake you up.” Senior Sister passed her a cup of water and she took two sips.
“Senior Sister, are you coming back with me later?”
“I still have something on. I’ll look for you at the competition venue tonight.”
“That works too.”
This wasn’t a particularly grand competition. It was just an ordinary practice match. However, Xing Jiuan had quite a number of fans in the racing industry. Since she was going to join, this no longer became an ordinary practice match.
“President, the Third Miss of the Huo family is here.”
When he was informed by his personal assistant of this again, Lu Zhichen happened to be looking at a red thread.
The red thread looked well kept, but it also looked like it had been around a long time.
When he heard his personal assistant’s words, Lu Zhichen’s voice was cold. “Chase her away.”
“But…” His personal assistant hesitated. “Second Young Master Huo came with her this time.”
“Huo Jinqi?” Lu Zhichen frowned. “I don’t want to see them. Prepare the car.”
He still had important matters to attend to, so he naturally wouldn’t meet with them.
“Yes.”
“Also, when the Huo family’s third child comes over next time, don’t let her in again.”
He was tolerating her for the sake of the Huo family’s image, but he couldn’t keep tolerating her forever.
Lu Zhichen held the red thread in his hand tightly.
When they reached downstairs, Huo Chulan had already left. For some reason, the second son of the Huo family was still there.
The Second Young Master of the Huo family, Huo Jinqi, had always been disobedient. Although he had the title of the Golden Hand, he had entered the entertainment industry right after he graduated from university. Whatever anyone said to him had been useless.
However, outstanding people seemed to shine wherever they went. Huo Jinqi had only been in the entertainment industry for a few years, but he had already become an international superstar with more than a hundred million fans.
