In the Jun Family, no matter if it was the cold and aloof Eldest Brother Jun Zixuan, the gentle and gentle Second Brother Jun Ziheng, or even the demure Third Sister Jun Ziqing, they would always be the center of attention wherever they went. Only Jun Zinuo was easily overlooked wherever he went.
"Zinuo, which school did you apply for?”The old man asked indifferently,
Jun Zinuo was so shocked that the chopsticks in his hand almost fell to the ground. She had entered the Jun Family since she was 10 years old. This was the first time the old man had asked her a question in six years. She couldn't tell what she was feeling, but she felt a faint sense of unease.
" Grandpa, I applied for Beijing Foreign Studies University," she stood up and said respectfully.
The old man frowned." It's not convenient for a girl to go so far. Let's go to Nanjing University!"”He looked at Jun Zi Xuan, who nodded.
Jun Zinuo's head buzzed. She stood upright, and her entire body felt cold as if she had fallen into an ice cellar.
" Nuonuo, hurry up and thank your grandfather and big brother," Mother Jun said happily. All along, no matter how outstanding Jun Zinuo's results were or how obedient he was, the old man would always look at her a little more. But now, he actually asked her which university she was studying at. This meant that Old Master Jun had already recognized her identity as a member of the Jun Family.
Jun Zinuo sat there in a daze. She looked at Mother Jun's rare smile, Second Aunt's disdainful gaze, and Aunt Jun's cold and expressionless face. Jun Zinuo's heart turned cold. What kind of family was this! She returned to her room mechanically and sat on the ground dejectedly. Tears poured down her face as she suppressed her silent sobs.
Jun Zizhuo followed her to the door of the room. He felt a dull pain in his heart as he listened to the suppressed cries inside. He understood her feelings of going from joy to loss, from gain to loss. She wanted to escape from this home so badly and yearned for the outside world. But she should know that from the day she entered the Jun Family, her fate was no longer in her own hands.
Jun Zizhuo stood at the door for a long time. He only turned around and left when the sobbing inside became softer and softer. At the stairway, he saw Jun Zi Xuan, who was about to go upstairs. He glared fiercely at Jun Zi Xuan and mocked," Big brother, what a good move! I didn't know that big brother cared so much about your sister.”
You should take care of yourself first!" Jun Zi Xuan looked at him indifferently and said coldly,
"Humph! Don't think that I don't know that you're behind this. Why would the old man care about which school Nono goes to for no reason? You must have said something to the old man?”
" Don't keep calling him 'old man'. He's your grandfather, and Jun Zinuo's matters are not something you can interfere with," Jun Zixuan said coldly.
"One day, I will help her fulfill her wish.”Jun Zi Zhuo said hatefully.
Jun Zi Xuan's back stiffened for a moment before he went straight upstairs.
Chapter 4-Each Going Their Own Way
The next day, Jun Zinuo saw Jun Ziheng sitting in the living room as soon as he went downstairs. Jun Ziheng was dressed in a military uniform, which made him look even more handsome and charming. Jun Zinuo felt a warmth in her heart. She knew that Jun Zizhuo must have told her second brother, which was why he rushed back. She felt her eyes start to sting again.
" Second Brother," she called out sweetly.
Jun Ziheng looked at her dotingly." Did you cry for too long last night? Your eyes are almost swollen like walnuts."”
Jun Zizhuo walked down the stairs with a pair of big sunglasses in his hand." Don't worry, Third Brother has a magical treasure with him." As he spoke, he casually put it on Jun Zinuo's face, covering half of Jun Zinuo's beautiful face.
Jun Zinuo couldn't help but feel playful. She put her hands on her hips and smiled at Jun Zizhuo." Handsome, give me a smile."”
"Wretched girl, how dare you tease me. Watch how I deal with you.”Jun Zizhuo went up to catch Jun Zinuo angrily.
Jun Zinuo quickly jumped behind Jun Ziheng, who was laughing so hard that he was about to break his chest.""Second Brother, quickly save me!"
Jun Zixuan felt a little annoyed when he saw the three of them laughing and making a scene downstairs. He walked downstairs quietly. Jun Ziheng and Jun Zinuo quickly stood up and greeted him. Only Jun Zizhuo reluctantly called him 'Big Brother'. Jun Zi Xuan nodded and hurried off to work. The three of them respected and feared their eldest brother. His status in the family was second only to the old man. He usually did not express any opinions, but as long as he said it, it basically represented the old man's attitude.
Accompanied by Jun Ziheng and Jun Zizhuo, Jun Zinuo had an unforgettable vacation. This year had taught Jun Zinuo a lesson. When it came to things that you couldn't change, you had to calm down and accept it in your best state to change it.
Jun Zizhuo reluctantly boarded the plane to the United States. Jun Zinuo looked at the departing plane and remembered Jun Zizhuo's warning before he left. "You must eat on time. Now that you're in university, don't study so hard. " Most importantly, you're still young and not suitable for dating. Don't let those bad boys in university confuse you. If you have any problems, remember to send me an email. If you can't solve it, remember to look for Second Brother..." Jun Zinuo thought of Jun Zizhuo's serious advice and found it funny. However, he felt warm inside and his eyes were stinging. Perhaps Jun Zizhuo was the one who truly understood and cared about her in the Jun Family.
When school started, Jun Zinuo ignored Mother Jun's vehement opposition and packed his bags and insisted on staying in the school. Jun Zinuo rarely returned to the Jun Family's residence except during holidays. She spent most of her time in the library. There were also a few good guys who tried to make friends with her. However, when she thought of Jun Zizhuo's advice before he left, Jun Zinuo lost interest.
The year when Jun Zinuo turned 16 was still a memorable year for him, even though he was unhappy, unwilling, and disappointed. However, Jun Zinuo was not someone who would make things too difficult for herself. Ever since Jun Zizhuo left for America and Jun Ziheng graduated and joined the army, she had tried her best to stay as far away from home as possible.
Zi Zhuo Returns
Time passed quickly. When Jun Zizhuo and Jun Ziqing called to inform her that they were returning to the country, a smile finally appeared on Jun Zinuo's cold face.
When Jun Zizhuo appeared in front of Jun Zinuo, Jun Zinuo was shocked. This guy was getting more and more devilish as he grew older. Although the Jun Family's genes were good, and everyone was handsome and beautiful, Jun Zizhuo was still a little too handsome.
"Silly girl, are you also charmed by me?”Jun Zizhuo said rudely when he saw Jun Zinuo's dazed expression.
"Tsk, you're so beautiful!" Jun Zinuo immediately restrained his excitement. This fellow was still so annoying.
"Brother Zizhuo, after four years, you're still the same!”
"Little girl, you're still so eloquent! In the few years that I wasn't around, your combat strength was still very strong!”Jun Zizhuo smiled and said,"
"You flatter me. Life without an opponent is indeed a little miserable!”Jun Zinuo teased,"
"Jun Zizhuo, don't you need to study for five years? Why did you come back after studying for less than four years?”Jun Zinuo asked curiously.
Looking at the confused Jun Zinuo, Jun Zizhuo's heart softened. If he didn't miss this little girl, would he have worked so hard in America?
"With my aptitude, four years is more than enough. I don't need five years.”Jun Zizhuo joked. Jun Zinuo did not notice the longing in Jun Zizhuo's eyes when he turned around.
" Nuonuo is back," Jun Ziqing walked downstairs and called out affectionately.
Jun Ziqing was Jun Ziheng's younger sister. She had gone to America to study five years ago. All these years, the number of times Jun Zinuo had seen her could be counted with ten fingers. Although he was a little uncomfortable with her intimacy, who didn't know how to act!
Jun Zinuo walked up to Jun Ziqing and held his arm affectionately. He smiled and said,""Sister Ziqing is really getting more and more beautiful. If I were to walk on the street, I definitely wouldn't dare to recognize her. Those who don't know better would think that she's that big star.”
Jun Ziqing's face was flushed red. She hit Jun Zinuo and said," I didn't expect you to become so slick after not seeing you for a few years."”Although Jun Ziqing's tone was blaming, his expression was very happy. Jun Zizhuo, who had been left out in the cold, could not help but size up Jun Zinuo again. His little girl had really grown up. Jun Zinuo was proud and stubborn in the past. She would never say such flattering words. But now, looking at Jun Zinuo who was chatting happily with Jun Ziqing, Jun Zizhuo suddenly felt that this Jun Zinuo was a little unfamiliar to him.
Jun Zinuo didn't have any sisterhood towards Jun Ziqing. When she first entered the Jun Family, Jun Ziqing was already living in the city with her Second Uncle. He rarely returned to the Jun Family, and even when he did, he rarely paid attention to her. Jun Ziqing's pride was so deep that Jun Zinuo kept a respectful distance from him. Moreover, Jun Ziqing had stayed abroad for five years. The two sisters had met very rarely over the years.
A Stunning Appearance
Three days later, the Jun Family was going to hold a grand welcoming banquet for Jun Zizhuo and Jun Ziqing in the villa. Jun Zinuo returned to the Jun Family home early after class.
Jun Ziqing saw Jun Zinuo and hurriedly pulled her into her room." Nuonuo, I have a gift for you."”Jun Ziqing held Jun Zinuo's hand as they went upstairs.
Jun Zinuo was overwhelmed by the unexpected favor and went to Jun Ziqing's room. Jun Ziqing took out a beautiful sky-blue evening gown from the wardrobe and started to stroke it on Jun Zinuo's body.
Jun Zinuo could tell that this evening gown was the most popular style in France this year, and it was expensive. Although Jun Zinuo wasn't interested in luxury goods, she couldn't resist Mother Jun buying her one piece after another. Even though she rarely wore them, she still had a certain sense of taste and appreciation.
"Try it on. I'll wear this to tonight's banquet!”Jun Ziqing was very satisfied with the clothes he had chosen for Jun Zinuo.
"Sister Ziqing, Mom has already prepared clothes for me. You should keep this dress!”Jun Zinuo said with some difficulty. She really couldn't figure out what Jun Ziqing meant. This evening gown was indeed very beautiful, and the color and style matched Jun Zinuo's skin tone and temperament. However, the main character today was Jun Ziqing. If she dressed too extravagantly and ostentatiously, wouldn't she be overshadowing the main character? Moreover, Jun Zinuo had always maintained a low profile in the Jun Family. It was better to leave this matter of being in the limelight to Jun Ziqing.
"Change into it! "I've already shown the clothes to auntie. She likes them very much. In a while, An will come over to help me do my hair. I'll also ask him to help you do yours," Jun Ziqing said eagerly.
Under Jun Ziqing's relentless persuasion and Mother Jun's persuasion, Jun Zinuo had no choice but to put on the evening gown that gave her a headache.
Jun Zinuo and Jun Ziqing stayed in the room until the banquet began. When Jun Ziqing held Jun Zinuo's arm and walked down the stairs, the noisy hall suddenly fell silent. There was amazement, admiration, jealousy, and disdain.
Jun Zixuan tightened his grip on his wine glass, and his deep gaze swept across Jun Zinuo.
Jun Ziheng looked at the sisters with a complicated gaze.
Jun Zizhuo's smiling face stiffened.
Jun Ziqing let go of Jun Zinuo's hand and quickly blended into the crowd. Even though she had been away for five years, she could still adapt to the crowd very quickly.
Jun Zinuo curled up in a corner and ate quietly. She felt a little depressed. She couldn't guess what Jun Ziqing was thinking. When An helped her with her makeup and she saw the surprise in An's eyes, she felt stifled. She didn't want to attract too much attention at the welcoming banquet that the Jun Family had prepared for Jun Ziqing and Jun Zizhuo. Moreover, this was probably the Jun Family's way of choosing a son-in-law for Jun Ziqing. However, Jun Ziqing had pushed her to the front. Her intuition told her that this was not a good thing.
Illegitimate Daughter? Stepdaughter?
After Jun Zinuo made his dazzling appearance, he found a remote corner to hide. She did not know those noble ladies and delicate ladies, and she did not want to know them either. Looking at Jun Ziqing, who was able to move through the crowd with ease, Jun Zinuo felt heartfelt admiration for him.
"I didn't expect this! The Fifth Young Lady of the Jun Family is so beautiful!" The two gossipy girls did not notice Jun Zinuo, who was not far away, and said as if no one else was around.
"What Fifth Miss! "She's just a stepdaughter of the Jun Family," another gossip girl scoffed.
"Have you heard?" One of them said mysteriously. "She might not be a stepdaughter. She might be Jun Chengwen's illegitimate daughter!”
"Whether she's a stepdaughter or an illegitimate daughter, she can't be compared to the real Second Miss of the Jun Family. What's the use of having a beautiful face?”
"You actually listened to me." Jun Zizhuo walked up to Jun Zinuo.
Jun Zinuo was eating, mouthful by mouthful. She ate elegantly and contentedly. It was as if she was enjoying the delicacies at a banquet.
"Why do you have to use other people's mistakes to punish yourself? The citizens of our country have the right to freedom of speech!”She tilted her head and looked at Jun Zizhuo playfully.
Jun Zizhuo held his breath and his face darkened. Didn't she know how tempting her expression was? Didn't she know how beautiful she was tonight? He only felt unusually frustrated. These few years had transformed her from a young girl into a beautiful and charming woman.
Zhuo Junzi glanced at the two gossipy girls nearby.
The two gossipy girls were already attracted by Jun Zizhuo when he walked over. They were staring at him lovey-dovey. When they saw his sinister gaze, the two of them could not help but feel a chill in their hearts. When they saw Jun Zinuo beside them, the two gossipy girls 'faces instantly turned red and they left in a sorry state.
At this moment, a commotion came from the door. Jun Zizhuo and Jun Zinuo looked up at the door. A handsome young man appeared in the hall surrounded by a crowd. The old man and Jun Zi Xuan actually walked quickly to the door to welcome this young man.
Even though Grandfather Jun had left his post many years ago, there weren't many people in Nanjing who could make him welcome them, let alone such a young man. Jun Zinuo couldn't help but cast a questioning look at Jun Zizhuo. Jun Zizhuo shrugged his shoulders and walked towards the crowd. He was also curious about the identity of that man.
Jun Zinuo was hiding in a corner, sizing up this unfamiliar man. The man's angular face was slightly cold. His coldness was different from the coldness of Jun Zixuan. It was a coldness that was deeply rooted in his bones. His deep eyes were like a deep pool of water, making people sink into them. His handsome eyebrows, tall nose, and the side profile of a sculpture made Jun Zinuo sigh at God's unfairness. How could he make a man's appearance so perfect?
The Mysterious Man
Just as Jun Zinuo was in a daze, the man was also sizing her up with a thoughtful gaze. When Jun Zi Xuan's cold gaze landed on her, she noticed the man's probing gaze. Her face turned red and she wanted to find a corner to hide. She saw Mother Jun hurriedly walk towards her and warmly pull her towards the unfamiliar man.
"Nuonuo, this is Young Master Yuan, your brother's friend.”Mother Jun introduced enthusiastically.
Jun Zinuo stood awkwardly in front of Yuan Mingche. She stepped forward stiffly and greeted him," Hello, Young Master Yuan."”
"Young Master Yuan is just a friend. Auntie can just call me Mingche.”Yuan Mingche smiled warmly.
Jun Zinuo looked at the smile in his eyes, but he felt that his smile did not reach his eyes at all. It was faintly cold and distant.
Mother Jun called out excitedly.”
Yuan Mingche smiled faintly. His gaze seemed to be sizing up Jun Zinuo, who was standing beside Mother Jun, and his eyes flashed with surprise and astonishment.
Jun Zinuo quietly retreated from the crowd. She didn't like Yuan Mingche's playful gaze when he looked at her just now. She also didn't like Second Aunt's disdainful gaze outside the crowd. Both of them made her feel uncomfortable. She noticed that Jun Ziqing's face was slightly flushed. She was looking at Yuan Mingche intently.
"Everyone, quiet down, quiet down." A loud and clear voice came from the stage.
The hall was silent as Grandfather Jun strode onto the stage. After saying a few beautiful words of welcome, he went straight to the main topic.
"Today's banquet is mainly to welcome my granddaughter and grandson who are studying abroad. There's also good news that my second grandson, Jun Ziheng, is about to get engaged to the eldest daughter of the Yu family, Yu Jingya. Their engagement ceremony will be held at the Hyatt Hotel in a month's time.”
There was a round of applause and cheers from the audience. Jun Zinuo's face turned pale in an instant. She held onto the table beside her to stabilize her swaying body. She raised her misty eyes and looked at Jun Ziheng, who was standing beside Grandfather Jun. Second Brother was still as gentle as ever, and his smile was still so reassuring and warm.
Jun Ziheng looked at Jun Zinuo's misty eyes. Pain and struggle flashed through his heart. However, when he thought of his mother's words, his heart could not help but turn cold.
Jun Zizhuo quietly supported Jun Zinuo, who was on the verge of collapsing. Jun Zinuo's body stiffened. She pushed Jun Zizhuo's hand away and staggered out of the hall.
Jun Zizhuo's mouth was filled with bitterness. He knew that Jun Zinuo was blaming him. He had known about Jun Zinuo's feelings for Jun Ziheng since a long time ago. He also knew that the reason why she wanted to escape the Jun Family was mostly because of Jun Ziheng. She wanted to appear by Jun Ziheng's side with another identity. He had once vowed to help her because he knew that with Jun Ziheng's character, he would never go against Second Aunt. She and Jun Ziheng would never have a result. His support and acquiescence was just to gain her trust and closeness. However, her distancing from him tonight still hurt his heart. By the time he left the hall, Jun Zinuo was nowhere to be seen.
Jun Ziqing's Purpose
Jun Zixuan watched coldly as Jun Zinuo left in a sorry state. He pursed his lips tightly and looked at Jun Ziheng coldly.
Yuan Mingche looked at Jun Zi Xuan playfully. He patted Jun Zi Xuan's shoulder,""Brother, your house is really lively, especially that little sister of yours.”
Jun Zixuan flung his hand away in disgust and said coldly,""You'd better not have any ideas about her.”
Yuan Mingche rubbed his chin and thought of Jun Zinuo's beautiful face. He thought lewdly,""She's indeed a stunner! Even Boss Jun, who had always been cold, was moved. He would definitely meet this little beauty when he had the time.”
After the banquet, Jun Ziqing and her daughter stayed in the villa because it was too late.
"Nora, why did you dress that b * tch's daughter up so gorgeously today? Didn't you see the way the men in the hall looked at her? It was so disgusting.”Mu Xiyao said angrily.
Jun Ziqing hugged his mother's neck affectionately and said coquettishly,""Mom, I just let her know her identity. Didn't you hear what the people who came today were talking about her? She's just a stepdaughter who can't be put on the table. How can she compare to the dignified Second Miss of the Jun Family? Besides, Grandpa pushed me out today, so I'll definitely attract some people I don't like. Those who don't think they're worthy of me can settle for the next best thing and pursue her! Wouldn't that save me a lot of trouble? If she doesn't know who she is, I don't mind putting her on a pedestal. When the time comes, I'll let her feel the feeling of falling from a high place. She'll definitely remember it for the rest of her life.”When she thought about how her gentle brother actually wanted to oppose the marriage for her, she was filled with anger. Jun Zizhuo had always been indifferent to her in America, but he was full of energy when he saw her. Didn't they like her and care about her? Then she would show her beauty to everyone so that more people would like her and care about her. Jun Ziqing felt extremely happy when he thought of his brother's pained expression and Jun Zizhuo's ashen face.
"You little girl! Although your idea is not bad, she still stole a lot of the limelight today. Didn't you see that b * tch bring him to Young Master Yuan and smile so smugly? She even called him Mingche. How could she be worthy?”Mu Xiyao said disdainfully.
"Mom, don't worry! With the Yuan family's background, it was impossible for them to marry a daughter-in-law who would be criticized by others. Besides, Yuan Mingche was in politics. What he needed was the Yue family that would be helpful to his career.”Jun Ziqing said calmly. She still had a good impression of Yuan Mingche. If she wanted to get married, Yuan Mingche was undoubtedly the best choice. She didn't care about what her mother was worried about. It was just a flower vase. It wasn't worth her effort.
Gentleman Pavilion's Mother
Jun Zinuo sat on the balcony of the attic and drank the beer in his hand one mouthful at a time. Tears were dripping down his face, and his mouth was filled with bitterness. She had also thought that such a day would come, but she did not expect it to come so soon. She had him in her heart, and as smart as he was, it was impossible for him not to feel it. Thinking of Jun Ziheng's care and protection over the years, she felt that it was ironic. His unrequited love was more like a joke.
"Stop drinking." A strong hand snatched the bottle from her hand. Jun Zinuo looked at the newcomer with his drunken eyes.
"Why is it you?" Jun Zinuo looked at the tall figure in front of him in surprise.
"Who do you think it is? Your Brother Heng? He was probably accompanying his fiancée now!”Jun Zixuan said expressionlessly.
Jun Zixuan's words were like a bucket of cold water, chilling Jun Zinuo from head to toe. All these years, whenever she was unhappy, she would hide herself. Every time, Jun Ziheng would find her and comfort her.
"Why are you here?" Jun Zinuo was in a bad mood, and his attitude towards Jun Zixuan was also a little bad.
Jun Zi Xuan's cold eyes narrowed. He took a sip from the wine bottle in his hand, and his body emitted a heavy sadness.
Jun Zinuo stared at him with her mouth agape. She opened her mouth, wanting to tell him that she had just drunk it. However, the sadness emanating from Jun Zi Xuan's body made her heart ache. In Jun Zinuo's eyes, this big brother of his had always been powerful and omnipotent. His grandfather was also a well-known figure in Nanjing, a well-known entrepreneur. Moreover, his grandfather only had one daughter, and she was the mother of Jun Zi Xuan. Jun Zinuo didn't understand that Jun Zixuan was doing very well in terms of family background and career. Jun Zinuo really couldn't understand where the heavy sorrow coming from him came from.
"When I was young, my mother often brought me here to look at the stars. At that time, the sky was very beautiful and the stars were very beautiful. My mother would hug me and tell me many stories.”
Jun Zinuo was a little embarrassed. She didn't know much about Jun Zixuan's mother. She only knew that she had been in poor health and had passed away when she was ten years old. Father Jun loved his ex-wife very much and had once said that he would never marry again in this life. However, she didn't know why he had married her mother and brought her along. In fact, she hated Father Jun. If it weren't for him, her mother might not have gotten a divorce, and she wouldn't have grown up in the Jun Family. The Jun Family rarely mentioned her. She had once seen a photo of her in a room. She was a very beautiful woman, especially her eyes, which were clear and transparent like a pool of water.
A Shocking Secret
Jun Zinuo was not interested in the privacy of Jun Zi Xuan at all. She did not want to stay here with him, so she got up and walked out.
"Do you hate me that much?" Jun Zi Xuan looked at her coldly.
" Yes." It wasn't that he hated Jun Zi Xuan. It was just that Jun Zi Nuo was in a terrible mood.
The cold air emanating from Jun Zixuan's body cleared Jun Zinuo's dizzy mind. She couldn't help but regret her words.
"I also feel disgusted by a woman who can have a crush on her own brother.”Jun Zixuan's voice was like the icy cold in winter, instantly freezing Jun Zinuo's heart. Her body trembled slightly. She had always felt that she had concealed it very well. She turned around and looked up at Jun Zi Xuan, whose face was a little gloomy. She remembered that Jun Zizhuo had always warned her not to provoke Jun Zixuan in this house. In the past few years, she had tried her best to avoid him and stay away from him. But now, his cold words had sent her to hell. Jun Zinuo's heart felt as if it had been rolled in boiling water, numb and numb.
"Disgusting." She smiled gently, but her smile was uglier than crying.
A hint of regret flashed across Jun Zixuan's calm eyes.
"Do you know why I've been wanting to leave the Jun Family all these years?”Jun Zinuo looked straight at Jun Zixuan.
Jun Zixuan pursed his lips tightly, a mocking smile hanging on his lips.
Jun Zinuo murmured," Perhaps you and Jun Zizhuo have the same thoughts. You think that I'm doing this for my second brother so that I can stand by his side one day. In fact, you all know that the possibility of us being together is very small. Besides our identities, my second brother is carrying too much pressure and responsibility. Instead of struggling painfully, it's better to get rid of it as soon as possible. I've long expected this situation today. I just didn't expect it to happen so soon." He didn't even give me a chance to catch my breath.”
Jun Zinuo's hoarse voice paused." But do you know what I saw in this room when I was 15 years old?”
Jun Zinuo's voice trembled and he growled hoarsely,""I'm disgusted, but what about them? I want to leave this house because this place is filthy and filthy. It suffocates me."
Jun Zixuan grabbed Jun Zinuo's neck, and a cold murderous intent shot out from his eyes.
"Cough cough, let go.”Jun Zinuo slapped Jun Zixuan's arm weakly.
"Do you know what you're saying? If you want to live a good life, then rot everything you see and know into your stomach.”Jun Zixuan gritted his teeth and said. His ferocious expression made Jun Zinuo break out in cold sweat. She nodded mechanically and looked at him with her big eyes full of fear and helplessness. Jun Zixuan let go of his hand. Jun Zinuo squatted down weakly and coughed with all his might. Tears dripped down his face.
Jun Zixuan looked at Jun Zinuo, who was squatting on the ground in a sorry state. A look of pity flashed in his eyes. However, when he thought of what she had just said, his heart hardened again. He walked to the door and said in a deep voice, You've enjoyed everything the Jun Family has given you. It's time for you to repay the Jun Family."
Jun Zinuo's pale face instantly turned deathly pale.
A heavy figure in the corner of the stairs also turned around and left.
Something Happened to Dad
Ever since that night, Jun Zinuo had returned to the Jun Family countless times. She had been busy with the procedures for studying abroad for the past few months. There was an exchange student quota between the university and the University of Nottingham this year, and Jun Zinuo had always wanted to get one. Actually, with her performance in school, there should be no problem. However, after the school's name list was issued, her name was not included. She and her mentor had been negotiating with the hospital, but the hospital leaders had been vague. Jun Zinuo had been in a terrible state lately.
" Ring..." A hurried ringing interrupted Jun Zinuo, who was in the midst of a mental trance.
"Nuonuo, something happened to your father!" Wang Fang's mournful voice came from the phone. Jun Zinuo's hand trembled, and his heart started to beat faster. In this world, the most important person to Jun Zinuo was undoubtedly Father Lin.
Jun Zinuo hurriedly threw away the things in his hands and went out to make a call. Aunt Fang was crying intermittently over the phone. Jun Zinuo could not understand what had happened.
When she thought about how she had once heard people say that she was Father Jun's illegitimate daughter at a banquet, she found it funny. She had never understood why Father Jun had pursued her married mother back then. It was because of his intervention that her mother had fallen in love with someone else and even divorced Father Lin. Even when Mother Jun wanted to bring her into the Jun Family, Father Jun agreed without hesitation.
She had always rejected Father Jun and the Jun Family. She had never considered herself a member of the Jun Family. Although Father Jun had been good to her all these years, she didn't like him from the bottom of her heart. If it hadn't been for Father Jun's third party, Mother Jun wouldn't have gotten divorced, and Father Jun wouldn't have had such a hard life. In Jun Zinuo's heart, the person he loved the most was Father Lin.
Ever since she was young, she had always been her father's little princess. No matter how tiring her father's work was, he would always pay her. The first thing he did was to buy Jun Zinuo something delicious and fun. Even though Father Lin had remarried, her father had still cared for her, encouraged her, and bought her things all these years in the Jun family. Father Lin's love for her was a deep and strong fatherly love.
While Jun Zinuo was deep in thought, the car had already stopped at the entrance. She rushed into the house in fear and saw Aunt Fang sobbing silently. Brother Qiangzi was sitting on the sofa dispiritedly. Jun Zinuo's heart skipped a beat as he looked at the gloomy scene.
As soon as Mei Hua saw Jun Zinuo, she dragged Little Wenbo and knelt in front of him. Jun Zinuo's head could not help but buzz. She squatted down and asked in a trembling voice," Sister-in-law, can you tell me what happened?”
As his sister-in-law Mei Hua sobbed intermittently, Jun Zinuo finally understood what had happened. Brother Qiangzi was off work today. Because he had nothing to do, he helped Father Lin out. However, on the way home at noon, a person suddenly rushed out of the fork and crashed into Father Lin's car. He was knocked out on the spot and blood flowed all over the ground. As soon as the car stopped, Father Lin moved the frightened Lin Qiang to the front passenger seat. He quickly called the emergency and police. After the traffic police investigated the scene, they took Father Lin away. When the family rushed to the hospital, the patient had already died. The patient's family kept clamoring for a life for a life.
Jun Zinuo's Friend
Jun Zinuo slowly calmed down as Mei Hua narrated the situation. She did not know how to describe her current feelings. She knelt on the ground in a daze, looking a little lost.
Lin Qiang looked at the pale Jun Zinuo and felt guilty. Lin Qiang loved his sister from the bottom of his heart. His younger sister had been especially smart and cute since she was young. He was also especially proud to have such a beautiful and cute sister. He understood the position Father Lin held in his younger sister's heart.
He stood up and walked out of the door. Mei Hua and Wang Fang quickly exchanged a look. Mei Hua climbed forward and hugged Lin Qiang's leg, crying," Lin Qiang, you can't go. If you go, this family will be ruined. Wenbo, quickly kowtow to your aunt."”
The three-year-old little Wenbo looked at his parents who were entangled together and burst into tears. Jun Zinuo hugged the frightened Wenbo and silently cried. She looked at Lin Qiang, who was struggling to break free, with tears in her eyes. This cheap brother was a good person. She remembered that when Aunt Fang changed his name to Lin Qiang, he had been angry for a long time. Moreover, he had been very respectful to Father Lin all these years. Since Father Lin had already taken the blame for him, even if Lin Qiang turned himself in, it would only make things more complicated. Moreover, Mei Hua and Aunt Fang would not let him leave this room.
" Brother," she called out hoarsely. Lin Qiang's body couldn't help but tremble.
"Go to the hospital now and find out the background of the deceased's family as soon as possible. Try your best to appease them. I'll go to the police station and see Dad.”
Jun Zinuo staggered out of the house. He could understand what Mei Hua and Aunt Fang were doing, but he still felt a chill in his heart. When she arrived at the police station, Father Lin had already been detained. She could not see Father Lin at all.
Jun Zinuo quickly filtered through the people she knew in her mind. She knew that the only people who could help her now were the people closest to her. Jun Ziheng had been filtered out by her. Now, she realized that she had too few friends around her. Moreover, the few good friends she had made in university were all from ordinary families. Now, the only one who gave her hope was Jun Zizhuo. Jun Zizhuo had joined the Jun Family's company ever since he came back from America. Moreover, he had heard that his performance in the company was not bad. Although he had not been back for a long time, he had many friends!
Jun Zinuo called Jun Zizhuo in his anxiety.
"Nuonuo, why did you call me? This is the first time you've called me since I returned to China!”Jun Zizhuo's joyful voice came from the phone.
"Jun Zizhuo, where are you?" Hearing Jun Zizhuo's voice, tears welled up in Jun Zinuo's eyes. She tried her best not to cry.
"Nuonuo, what's wrong?" Jun Zizhuo could still feel the strangeness in Jun Zinuo.
"Something happened to my father!" Jun Zinuo sobbed as he recounted what had happened.
Jun Zizhuo's Help
Jun Zizhuo's heart was in a knot. Jun Zinuo had rarely cried since she was young. Even when he bullied her the most, she stubbornly refused to let her tears fall.
Jun Zizhuo pondered for a while and said in a deep voice,""Nuonuo, I'm in the branch company of the Malay West Mute now. I'll settle the things at hand and rush back as soon as possible. I'll call Secretary Zhang first and ask him to take care of the matter. " Don't worry. No matter who it is, he will still give the Jun Family face in Nanjing City…" Jun Zizhuo concisely explained to Jun Zinuo.
Jun Zinuo listened quietly. The heavy stone in her heart seemed to have been lifted. She let out a long sigh. She didn't want to return to the Jun Family. She didn't want the Jun Family to see her in such a sorry state. When she returned to school, it was already dark and the dormitory was empty.
It was the fourth year, and many students had moved out. Jun Zinuo forced himself to close his eyes. Recently, he had been running around to study abroad and was exhausted. Now, she had to calm herself down and rest well so that she could fight the next tough battle. However, despite her thoughts, she still tossed and turned in bed for a sleepless night.
As soon as she woke up in the morning, she received a call from Secretary Zhang. She rushed to the Grand Hyatt Building and was brought to the CEO's office on the 21st floor by Secretary Zhang. Her aunt, Jun Zhiyue, was waiting for her in the office.
When Jun Zinuo saw Jun Zhiyue, she couldn't help but feel uneasy. She knew that she shouldn't go past her aunt to look for Jun Zizhuo, but she didn't know who else to look for. She called out uneasily," Aunt."”
Jun Zhiyue nodded at her and said to Secretary Zhang,""Tell Nono about your investigation yesterday!”
Secretary Zhang nodded and said," The person your father killed is called Wang Wenqi. She's the sister of Wang Wenhuan, the chairman of Huasheng Real Estate. Her husband, Yu Shikai, is the vice president of Huasheng Real Estate." As far as we know, Wang Wenqi's mental condition hasn't been very good recently, but we can't find her medical records in several big hospitals in the city. It's possible that her medical records have been destroyed, which is very unfavorable to your father. Moreover, Wang Wenhuan had always loved his sister. He heard that after Wang Wenqi passed away yesterday, Wang Wenhuan beat up Yu Shikai and transferred him to Africa. As for your father's situation…”Secretary Zhang looked at Jun Zhiyue hesitantly.
Jun Zinuo's pale face had lost all color. She held her hands tightly on her thighs to stop herself from trembling.
Secretary Zhang looked at Jun Zinuo, who was forcing himself to remain calm. He sighed softly and said,""It's not like there's nothing we can do about this.”
Jun Zinuo's gloomy eyes lit up." What is it?”She asked with difficulty.
Secretary Zhang quickly glanced at Jun Zhiyue, who nodded slightly.
"I'm looking for your big brother, Jun Zixuan. His fiancée, Fang Qianqian, is Wang Wenhuan's goddaughter. Wang Wenhuan and Fang Qianqian's father, Fang Yunzhe, are close friends, and he has always granted Fang Qianqian's every request. He had heard that Wang Wenhuan had invested in several of Fang Qianqian's solo concerts in the country, and Wang Wenhuan had attended every one of them. Moreover, with your big brother's current status, he should give him some face.”
Jun Zinuo looked up at Jun Zhiyue and asked silently. Jun Zhiyue nodded. Jun Zinuo could not help but relax. Although she had always been afraid of this big brother of hers, as long as there was a glimmer of hope, no matter who it was, she would give it a try.
Jun Zhiyue
Jun Zinuo stood up and bowed deeply to Jun Zhiyue and Secretary Zhang.
"Nuonuo." Jun Zhiyue called out to Jun Zinuo, who was about to leave. Secretary Zhang quickly walked out of the room and closed the door. " This is the first overseas case that Zhuo is in charge of," Jun Zhiyue said softly." It's very important to him."”
Jun Zinuo took a deep breath and said,""Auntie, I'll call him later and tell him that my father's matter has been resolved. I'll ask him to come back after he's done with the case over there.”With that, he left the room.
Jun Zhiyue looked at the lonely and stubborn figure and sighed softly. In fact, she had always admired this self-reliant and independent young lady. She was very down-to-earth, and what was even more rare was that she did not have a strong sense of utility. She was very clear about her situation and knew what she wanted and what she did. This was very rare in their circle. But sometimes, he was too stubborn and stubborn.
Compared to the pretentious Jun Ziqing, she liked Jun Zinuo more. However, she didn't want her to get too close to Jun Zizhuo. It seemed that Jun Zizhuo had been bullying her all these years, but in fact, Jun Zizhuo had always been under Jun Zinuo's control. She knew her son well. If Jun Zizhuo didn't care about Jun Zinuo, with his proud personality, he would even think that it was a luxury to talk to you.
As long as Jun Zinuo was involved, Jun Zizhuo would lose his mind. She did not want her son to only have Jun Zinuo in his eyes forever.
Moreover, she realized that Jun Zi Xuan treated Jun Zi Nuo differently. She did not mind doing Jun Zi Xuan a favor. Although the situation was a little tricky, it would be much easier for Jun Zi Xuan to handle it than for her to handle it. She hoped that Jun Zi Xuan would remember her kindness.
In the Jun Family, Jun Zi Xuan was the place that made her the most afraid. He was always so calm and self-contained. He was unpredictable and difficult to approach. And his deep background made her feel a little cold. The thought of her precious son going against Jun Zi Xuan for a woman made her shiver.
She rubbed her eyebrows and forced herself to be alert. She had once again become the famous Jun Zhiyue from last year.
After Jun Zinuo went downstairs, he gave Jun Zizhuo a call. Jun Zizhuo was packing his luggage in the hotel. Jun Zinuo persuaded Jun Zizhuo to give up on the idea of returning to the country. After she hung up, she hailed a taxi.
When she arrived at Mingjing Garden, she hesitated at the entrance for a long time. Ever since that night, whenever she thought of Jun Zi Xuan's cold gaze and the words he had left behind before he left, she wanted to run far away, to a place where Jun Zi Xuan could not see. But now, she had no choice but to appear in front of him, and it was at her most embarrassing moment.
First Encounter
Jun Zixuan looked at Jun Zinuo, who was sitting in front of him, feeling uneasy. Half an hour ago, his aunt had already called to tell him everything. Little did he know that yesterday, his secretary had already placed the ins and outs of this matter on his desk.
Jun Zinuo forced herself to calm down. She raised her head and looked at the expressionless face of Jun Zixuan. Her heart was pounding.
"Big brother." Jun Zinuo called out awkwardly.
Jun Zixuan turned the cup in his hand and said indifferently,""Auntie has already told me." Looking at Jun Zinuo's pale and exhausted face, Jun Zixuan really did not want to beat around the bush with her.
"I'll think of a way to deal with this. You'd better go to the guest room and sleep first. There's a private gathering tonight, and Wang Wenhuan will definitely appear.”Jun Zixuan said expressionlessly as he looked at Jun Zinuo's dark circles.
Jun Zinuo knew that she was not in a good mental state. After listening to Jun Zixuan's words, she slowly felt at ease. She did not expect that Gentleman's Pavilion would be so easy to talk to and agree so readily. This made her feel a little flattered.
Lying on the bed in the guest room, she closed her eyes, her mind in a daze. She remembered that when she was eight years old, her parents quarreled again. Her father slammed the door and left, while her mother hid in the room and sulked. It was raining outside, but she would rather stay outside in the rain than go home to face her mother's constant nagging. She wandered the streets alone with an empty stomach.
"Little girl, it's raining. Why don't you go home?”A beautiful flower umbrella covered her head.
A handsome boy smiled warmly at her. That was the first time she saw Jun Ziheng, the first time she saw such a warm smile.
"Hurry up and go home! Little girl, your parents will be worried. I'll leave this umbrella to you. Don't get caught in the rain again. You'll catch a cold.”As he spoke, he stuffed the umbrella in his hand into Jun Zinuo's hand and turned around to rush into the rain.
Jun Zinuo held the small flower umbrella in a daze and watched Jun Ziheng's figure disappear. When she got home, she wiped the small flower umbrella clean and placed it in her closet, hoping that one day she could return it to her big brother who had a warm smile.
Two years later, in the Jun Family, she finally saw her big brother again. He became her second brother in name. She was very happy that he was still the big brother who made her feel warm and caring. She didn't like the Jun Family, but she liked places with Jun Ziheng. When Jun Zizhuo bullied her, Jun Ziheng would speak up for her. Jun Ziheng often gave her some comic books that she liked, helped her with her homework, and gave her a warm smile.
As they grew up, they met less and less. Jun Ziheng's familiar face and warm smile became more and more indistinct.
Jun Zinuo fell into a chaotic dream. In the dream, Jun Ziheng's familiar figure was getting further and further away from her. She wanted to chase after him, but her legs could not move. She wanted to grab him, but her hands could not touch him. She shouted anxiously.
The Banquet
She suddenly opened her eyes and sat up. The unfamiliar room made her a little dazed.
"It's really rare for you to call your Second Brother even in your dreams.”Jun Zi Xuan stood at the door and said coldly.
Jun Zinuo came back to his senses and looked at the gloomy Jun Zixuan standing at the door. He sat on the bed, not knowing what to do.
"Go take a shower first and change into these clothes.”Jun Zi Xuan threw a bag over and turned to leave the room.
When Jun Zinuo changed his clothes and walked out of the room, he was already sitting in the living room. He took a look at Jun Zinuo. The clothes fit him very well. They weren't as bright and moving as they had been at the Jun Family's banquet. However, this moon-white tutu dress was still youthful and beautiful.
This was a private clubhouse with a three-story villa. Jun Zinuo held Jun Zixuan's arm as they walked into the hall. She tried her best to lean against Jun Zixuan's body so that she could walk more steadily.
Jun Zi Xuan's expressionless face also revealed a hint of a smile. When Jun Zi Xuan appeared in the hall, the owner of the villa, Li Rongren, quickly came up to welcome him.
"Mr. Jun, you're a rare guest!”He greeted Jun Zixuan warmly and glanced at Jun Zinuo from the corner of his eyes.
"What a pure and beautiful woman. Bright facial features and pure temperament, but the combination makes people unable to help but take a few more glances.”Li Rongren praised in his heart.
Gentleman Pavilion rarely participated in such private gatherings. Furthermore, everyone in the industry knew that he was the son-in-law of his assistant, Fang Yunzhe, and his fiancée, Fang Qianqian, was a slightly famous pianist. Now, he actually showed up at the party with a female companion in a high-profile manner. It could not help but arouse some imagination.
Many people at the gathering recognized Jun Zixuan. A few of them came over to greet Jun Zixuan warmly. Of course, they also looked at Jun Zinuo warmly. Fortunately, Jun Zinuo's heart was not on this matter. Thus, she was calm and composed in the face of so many people's gazes.
Jun Zi Xuan had a faint smile on his face from the beginning to the end. He greeted the people politely and estranged. Jun Zinuo was also very cooperative as he leaned against him and smiled at the person who greeted him. Although her smile was a little stiff, it was not to the extent of being rude.
Jun Zi Xuan brought her to a small side hall and sat down. After sitting down, Jun Zi Xuan sipped his red wine calmly and watched the movements in the hall. Jun Zinuo, on the other hand, felt uneasy. She had been feeling uneasy. She did not know how Jun Zixuan would handle this matter, and she did not know if Wang Wenhuan would appear. Just as she was feeling anxious, a middle-aged man in his forties walked in.
Jun Zixuan stood up and greeted the newcomer. He then introduced them to Jun Zinuo,""Nuonuo, this is CEO Wang."
Wang Wenhuan looked at Jun Zinuo and Jun Zixuan with a faint smile. Although he was smiling, it felt fake.
Jun Zinuo looked at Wang Wenhuan, who had been silent for a long time. He felt nervous and his palms were drenched in sweat. Jun Zixuan gave Jun Zinuo a comforting look. Looking at the calm and composed Jun Zinuo, Jun Zinuo slowly calmed himself down.
Chapter 18-Negotiations
Wang Wenhuan was actually feeling a little resentful. In terms of seniority, Jun Zi Xuan was a junior, but every time they met, Jun Zi Xuan had never treated him as an elder. However, he couldn't find fault with Gentleman Pavilion in terms of etiquette. He still had some respect for the Luo family.
"Zixuan! And this is?"
Jun Zi Xuan frowned unconsciously. He was somewhat conflicted by Wang Wenhuan's affectionate attitude. In his heart, he didn't like this Wang Wenhuan who was good at digging his own grave. In the past, even if they met at some gatherings, he would try his best to avoid him.
"This is my younger sister." Jun Zi Xuan introduced.
Wang Wenhuan couldn't help but narrow his eyes as he sized up Jun Zinuo. This was the Fifth Young Miss of the Jun Family, who had once shone brilliantly in the Jun Family. She was indeed quite beautiful, but she still looked a little inexperienced. Compared to the elegant and intellectual Fang Qianqian, she was still a far cry.
Jun Zixuan's expression was a little gloomy. He didn't like the way Wang Wenhuan was sizing up Jun Zinuo. It was as if he was evaluating a commodity. It wasn't his place to judge the Jun Family.
Jun Zinuo's sweat had already soaked her clothes. She opened her mouth but did not know what to say. She looked at Jun Zi Xuan nervously. She was afraid that Jun Zi Xuan's attitude would anger Wang Wenhuan.
Jun Zinuo forced herself to calm down. She unhurriedly took out a tissue and gently wiped the fine beads of sweat on her forehead. She smiled shyly and said,""I'm sorry, the room is a little hot.”
Wang Wenhuan's eyes flashed as he praised in his heart,""The young lady is quite young, but she's quite patient. She actually asked Jun Zi Xuan to take care of Lin Hao's matter for her. It seems that she's doing well in the Jun Family. Lin Hao has a good daughter.”
Jun Zixuan could not bear to see Jun Zinuo forcing himself to remain calm. He was not a soft-hearted person, but recently, he had broken his rules one after another because of Jun Zinuo. This was not a good sign for him.
When negotiating with an opponent, the greatest taboo was to lose one's composure. However, the current Jun Zi Xuan had lost interest in continuing to play Tai Chi with Wang Wenhuan. The reason why he had made a high-profile appearance with Jun Zinuo was to let Wang Wenhuan understand that Jun Zixuan had to interfere in Lin Hao's matters. Since Wang Wenhuan had walked into this room, it meant that he didn't want to make a big deal out of it.
"CEO Wang, let's not beat around the bush. How much do you want?”Jun Zi Xuan asked straightforwardly.
Wang Wenhuan was taken aback. He hadn't expected Jun Zi Xuan to bring it up so boldly. He was caught off guard. People like them could beat around the bush with just one sentence. Wang Wenhuan quickly regained his senses and laughed."Zixuan, aren't you treating me as an outsider by saying this?”
"Alright then! Since CEO Wang hasn't thought about it yet, I'll get Qianqian to talk to you.”Jun Zi Xuan looked at Wang Wenhuan with a faint smile.
Everyone in the industry knew that Wang Wenhuan doted on Fang Qianqian. The few concerts that Fang Qianqian held in China were all funded by Wang Wenhuan. By right, Jun Zi Xuan should have treated his fiancée's godfather with courtesy, but Jun Zi Xuan kept a respectful distance from Wang Wenhuan.
Wang Wenhuan was shocked. Others might not know, but he knew Yi Qianqian's feelings for Jun Zi Xuan. If she knew about this, he would have no room for negotiation.
"Five million, and that piece of land in the west of the city.”Wang Wenhuan gritted his teeth. Money was useless. What he really wanted was the Luo family's land, and that land happened to be under the name of Jun Zi Xuan.
Jun Zixuan looked at Wang Wenhuan for a long time and sneered,""CEO Wang, you really dare to ask for an exorbitant price!”
"Compared to a human life, these worldly possessions are nothing.”Wang Wenhuan said sadly.
"Alright, I'll get my secretary to talk to you in detail tomorrow.”Jun Zi Xuan stood up and said expressionlessly.
Father Lin Was Released
Wang Wenhuan was a little stunned. He didn't expect Gentleman Pavilion to be so generous and agree so readily. He had been drooling over that piece of land in the west of the city for a long time. He had wanted to buy that piece of land from Jun Zi Xuan several times, but Jun Zi Xuan had always kept a respectful distance from him. He had once asked Qianqian to sound out Jun Zi Xuan. Qianqian said that it was a gift from his grandfather to his mother for her thirtieth birthday, and his mother had left it to him. He would not sell that piece of land. But now, he actually sold the land his mother left him for his sister in name.
It seemed that his cheap sister was very important to him. He looked thoughtfully at the two figures who walked out together. The petite Jun Zinuo was leaning against Jun Zixuan's side, looking so harmonious.
Jun Zinuo followed Jun Zixuan back to Mingjing Garden in a daze. She had not come back to her senses for a long time. Her mind was filled with the five million yuan and the land in the west of the city. Judging from Wang Wenhuan's expression, that piece of land in the west of the city was much more important than the five million yuan.
Jun Zixuan looked at Jun Zinuo, who was sitting there in a daze, with amusement. Ever since he returned, Jun Zinuo had been sitting there motionlessly. He knew that tonight's incident would have a huge impact on Jun Zinuo, but he did not expect her reaction to be so strong.
"Rest early! I'll accompany you to pick up your father tomorrow." Jun Zixuan said gently.
"Thank you! "Big brother," Jun Zinuo said sincerely as he collected his drifting thoughts. She knew that it was useless no matter how conflicted she was.
Jun Zixuan nodded lightly and walked into his room.
Jun Zinuo had another sleepless night.
The next day, Jun Zixuan accompanied Jun Zinuo to the police station. This time, the police station was very efficient. In less than half an hour, Father Lin was released.
After being locked up for two days and two nights, Father Lin looked very tired. The beard on his face made Father Lin look a little old.
"Dad." Jun Zinuo felt a lump in his throat, and tears started to fall. She threw herself into Father Lin's arms and cried.
Father Lin's eyes were red as well. He patted Jun Zinuo's back gently and said,""I'm sorry, I'm sorry.”
Actually, Jun Zinuo wanted to ask Father Lin if he had thought about her when he decided to take the blame for Lin Qiang. Had he thought about what would happen to her if he did not make it out? However, when she saw Father Lin's haggard face and his black hair mixed with white hair, she couldn't bring herself to ask. The resentment in her heart slowly calmed down.
After Jun Zinuo sent Father Lin home, he saw Aunt Fang and the others crying tears of joy. They surrounded Father Lin and asked him questions. Jun Zinuo quietly walked out. She was not that great to be without resentment. However, since things had come to this, she could only look forward. However, she would never treat this place as her home again.
The Condition
Jun Zinuo opened the door and got into the black Jaguar parked downstairs. Looking at the relaxed Jun Zixuan, she mustered up her courage and asked,""Big brother, what do I need to do?"
Jun Zixuan admired Jun Zinuo's intelligence and rationality. His fingers tapped the steering wheel lightly. Jun Zinuo felt as if those fingers were knocking on her heart, tugging and tugging.
"Promise me three conditions." Jun Zi Xuan said slowly.
Jun Zinuo nodded. She knew that there was no room for negotiation now. After witnessing with her own eyes how much money Jun Zi Xuan had spent to save her father, she no longer had any other thoughts. Even if she sold herself now, it wouldn't be worth that much!
"What condition?" She asked nervously.
"First, I need a housekeeper to take care of my daily life. Can you do that?”Jun Zixuan tilted his head and looked at Jun Zinuo.
Jun Zinuo nodded.
"Yes, I signed up for a cooking class last year. It should be no problem for me to cook home-cooked dishes.”
The corners of Jun Zi Xuan's mouth curled up imperceptibly.
"Second, give up on studying abroad and taking the postgraduate entrance exam.”Jun Zinuo was stunned for a moment before he nodded. Now that she had agreed to be his nanny, she had given up on the idea of going abroad.
" Third..." Jun Zi Xuan paused.
Jun Zinuo widened his eyes and looked at Jun Zixuan's expression nervously.
"I haven't thought about it yet. I'll tell you when I'm done.”Looking at Jun Zinuo's extremely nervous face, Jun Zixuan's mood improved. A faint smile appeared on his expressionless face.
Jun Zinuo's heart was hanging in the air. Although Jun Zixuan had not finished his conditions, Jun Zinuo felt that with his character, he would not have any harsh conditions. She didn't know when it started, but she no longer had any of the resistance she had toward Jun Zi Xuan. She was now filled with an indescribable trust in him.
After Jun Zinuo returned to school, he was busy packing his luggage. Although Jun Zi Xuan had never asked her to move, she knew that it would be inconvenient for her to stay in school if she had to take care of his meals and daily life.
"Nuonuo, have you really decided to move out?”Xiaoxiao asked as she looked at Jun Zinuo, who was busy.
"Yes, I found a job. It's a little inconvenient to live on campus.”Jun Zinuo said ambiguously. In front of her best friend, she did not want to lie to her, but she was also unwilling to tell the truth, so she could only say ambiguously.
"The rent outside is very expensive!" Xiaoxiao said worriedly.
Jun Zinuo had always kept a low profile in school. She would usually tear off the labels of the clothes Mother Jun bought for her before wearing them. Moreover, she lived frugally. Therefore, Xiaoxiao had always thought that Jun Zinuo's family background was not very good.
"It's fine. I'm staying at a friend's house. I don't have to pay rent.”'Since she's a nanny in Jun Zi Xuan, Jun Zi Nuo reckoned that the store wouldn't charge her rent,' Jun Zi Nuo thought to herself.
"That's good. When you're settled, I'll come and find you, okay?”Xiaoxiao said excitedly.
Jun Zinuo was helpless in front of the passionate Xiaoxiao. She did not want to lie to Xiaoxiao, but she also did not want Xiaoxiao to know that she was the so-called Fifth Miss of the Jun Family. She could only say perfunctorily,"Alright then! I'll contact you again when the time comes."
"Chen Luan has left, Wang Ke has returned to Shanghai, and even you have to move out. Now, I'm really alone.”Xiaoxiao said sadly.
"Xiaoxiao, you're the future Professor Xiao. If we lose our jobs one day, we'll still want to come to you!”Jun Zinuo teased.
Xiaoxiao was a biology major, and she was very talented in this field. She had already been accepted into Academician Chen's laboratory. In Academician Chen's research institute, Xiaoxiao was the only university student who had not graduated. Therefore, Xiaoxiao's future life at N University would be inseparable. Although Xiaoxiao was a researcher, she was not rigid. She was enthusiastic and lively.
