85: Was that Brother Zhe?

Was that Brother Zhe?

She was just about to turn around but in the end she couldn't help but say, "As your classmate for three years, I advise that you stopped provoking Jiang Yue or you'll never know how you ended up dead."1

As she walked away, Xia Mingzhou looked at Cheng Jiayi's back, her hands balled into fists and her nails drove deep into her skin.

She had hoped that after what had occurred to the Cheng Family, she could put Cheng Jiayi in her proper place but the girl was still the prideful person she had been.

She couldn't stop thinking about her words. 

Jiang Yue was responsible for the Cheng family's demise?

How was that even possible?

Their Xia family's company would never be able to compete with the Cheng Group, so how can Jiang Yue? 

No matter how hard she thought about it, she always end up at the conclusion that it was impossible unless Jiang Yue sought help from someone powerful. 

But who exactly was it? 

***

With the mock examination results out, the forum was buzzing once more about the scores of people who are intriguing enough for them, such as Gao Tian, who is no longer the last placer, Cheng Jiayi, who is now third, and Jiang Xiu, who has the highest score.

However, what they were waiting for was an update from Class One on whether or not they would fulfill their end of the bet, and someone from Class One stated that they would, which settled the topic of discussion. 

With Class One fulfilling their end of the wager, Class Eleven, seeing their humiliated countenance, stopped attempting to cause problems for them, and things returned to normal. 

Students were then asked to fill out a form detailing their plans, such as which courses they intend to take and which colleges and universities they wish to attend. 

"Sister... which university do you intend to go to?" Jiang Xiu asked hesitantly, fearful that her sister would opt to focus on finding the culprits who caused harm to their family. 

"Capital University," Jiang Yue answered which caught Gao Tian's attention, "Capital University? That is also my first choice."

"Brother Tian, let's all be realistic here..." Wan Zhu couldn't help but say, knowing the university had a high admission score. 

"We're asked to fill up our dream university, so there's nothing wrong with that," Wen Liling rolled her eyes, "Gao Tian is free to dream whatever he wishes." 

Gao Tian was perplexed.

Should he be grateful to Wen Liling for defending him?

"I'll just take whatever course I can get with my entrance exam score; what matters is that I study at Capital University." 

"And what about you, Xiao Xiu?"

"Do you really need to ask? Of course, I'll follow sister wherever she goes."

Jiang Yue's brows furrowed as she wanted to persuade the girl that she should choose whatever she wants but after further consideration, it's much better if they attend the same university. 

"I'd also like to say that wherever Brother Yue is but I doubt I'd be able to get into Capital University," Kang Jinhai stated, scratching his chin. 

"And how about you, Liling?" Jiang Xiu inquired, to which the other girl replied, "Probably Grand Valley University. We'll be at different universities, but it's not too far away, so let's go visit each other!" 

"Let's stop talking about universities," Wan Zhu abruptly interrupted, "have you forgotten that the tournament for the ultimate battle starts tomorrow? How about we go on Sunday?" 

"All right, I'm in!"

The other three agreed, and Jiang Xiu asked her sister, "How about we go? We have nothing planned for Sunday." 

Jiang Yue's brows furrowed as she considered her schedule. 

Aside from personally checking on the condition of their father, meeting with Luo Zhelan, and visiting Allico Intelligence, she still has spare time.

It wouldn't hurt to go with them, and Jiang Xiu seemed to be interested as well. 

"Sure." 

"However, we only have five tickets..." 

Jiang Yue simply waved her hand and said, "I'll get one for myself." 

And just like that they had planned to meet each other at the venue of the tournament.

Sunday, Luo Family Villa.

Fu Liwei, along with Fu Xifeng entered the living room with gifts and fruits in their hands. 

Yang Lei approached them and assisted them with the items they had brought. 

"How is Grandma Luo doing? Has she been feeling well lately?" Fu Xifeng inquired as she peered around, hoping to see the person she hadn't seen in nearly a month. 

Yang Lei replied respectfully, "Old Madam had been well these past few days, Young Lady."

"Where's your Young Master?" Fu Liwei questioned, sitting on the couch as if he were in his own home.

The Luo Family Villa is no different from their own home as the two of them grew up together with Luo Zhelan along with Gao Jing and Qin Zirui.

A woman in her forties approached them from the second floor and asked, "Liwei, Xifeng, what are you doing here? I thought you had plans today because Zhelan left early," Yuan Ru, the Madam of the Luo Family and Luo Zhelan's mother remarked with a pleasant smile on her lips.

Fu Xifeng was taken aback by the woman's words because she hadn't expected Luo Zhelan to go so soon, but she gathered herself and smiled sweetly at Madam Luo, "Auntie, good morning! Brother Zhe most likely has something important to settle." 

"Good morning, my dear." 

Fu Liwei's brows furrowed as he reached for his phone and dialed his friend's number.

When the call was answered, he couldn't help but ask, "Where are you— why is it so loud on your end?"

"Palace Stadium," Luo Zhelan answered the other hand that he could barely understand.

Why was Luo Zhelan even there?

"What are you doing there?"

"Watching an e-sports tournament."

"What—" Fu Liwei hadn't finished his sentence when the call was cut off, and he glanced at his phone, speechless.

"Well? Was that Brother Zhe? Where is he?" Fu Xifeng asked with expectations in her eyes, "Is he in the Research Organization or at the Luo Corporation?"

Fu Liwei couldn't help but pinch the skin between his brows and say, "Neither."

That guy is actually watching an e-sports tournament!
