Ling Siye hesitated for a moment, then took the phone from Chen Cheng and said, "Hello."

"Your Uncle Qiao and the others called you so many times just now, why didn't you answer any of them?"

"busy."

"Fine, even if you're busy, shouldn't you at least call back when you see a missed call?" the woman on the other end of the line said angrily.

"Didn't see it."

Ling Siye's words infuriated his mother so much that she wanted to smash the phone. "You, you... fine, I guess you're busy. But tell me, what's going on with Ziyue? Don't you know that your Uncle Qiao's daughter is also at this charity gala?"

"If you're calling to interrogate me, then I can only say I'm too busy," Ling Siye said, frowning and sounding somewhat impatient.

He didn't seek revenge on the Qiao family for hurting his girlfriend on his own turf, which was already considered out of consideration for the relationship between the two families.

Now they've even brought this up to his parents' faces, it's really annoying.

"What kind of attitude is this? How can you talk to your own mother like that?"

"Get to the point. I'm very busy right now," Ling Siye said coldly.

He was never cared for or educated from a young age; he was always left to live with his grandfather.

Now that he's grown up, they want to interfere with his thoughts, want to control his life, and use so-called parental love to bind him. Where is there such a good thing?

"You, you unfilial son..."

beep.

Ling Siye hung up the phone and tossed it to Chen Cheng, saying, "Don't answer anyone's calls."

"What if it belongs to the old master..."

"Grandpa usually doesn't call this number."

He has his own cell phone, but few people know his number; his grandfather is one of them.

Grandpa would only use the phone in his hand when there was an emergency.

Therefore, anything that Grandpa didn't mention isn't important!

"Then, sir, what should we do about Miss Qiao?"

"Don't worry about it." Ling Siye waved his hand.

If he's not mistaken, Huanhuan is already fueling this whole thing.

Since she can handle it herself, he won't interfere.

"Then I'll go out and get busy."

"Ah."

……

The old house of the Jiang family.

When Jiang Huan returned home, she found that Old Master Jiang, Qin Wenyan, Cheng Siqi, and Li Huaichuan were all there.

It's rare to see the other three people gathered here as well.

"Huanhuan." Qin Wenyan immediately got up from the sofa, walked over to her in a few steps, and asked with concern, "Huanhuan, are you alright? We saw the trending topics. Did those three bully you? What did they do to you?"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Huan shook her head and said with a smile, "It's nothing..."

At present, Qin Wenyan and the other two are unaware that Jiang Huan has recovered.

"Brother Qin, instead of asking Huanhuan, you should ask Qianrui. Huanhuan can't answer your question right now," Cheng Siqi reminded him.

Qin Wenyan felt that Jiang Huan shouldn't be unable to understand, but after seeing her expression, he could only sigh and ask Qian Rui, who was standing next to him, "Miss Qian, what happened to Huanhuan at the charity gala?"

“No!” Qian Rui shook her head. “Huanhuan wasn’t bullied. Huanhuan has been with me the whole time.”

"Those videos online?" Qin Wenyan frowned, his eyes full of confusion.

Qian Rui shrugged. "I watched that video too. But Huanhuan definitely wasn't bullied, maybe..."

"What could it be?" Qin Wenyan asked anxiously when Qian Rui paused.

Qian Rui pursed her lips, glanced at Jiang Huan, and said with a distressed expression, "It's probably because those people bullied Huanhuan before, and now that they see Huanhuan doing so well, they feel resentful. Also, they might feel guilty about something they did, which is why they're acting so neurotic."

"This?" Qin Wenyan was somewhat skeptical of Qian Rui's words, but he couldn't get any information out of her or find anything else.

"Alright, Wenyan, it's good that Huanhuan is alright. There's no need to dig into the details."

Finally, it was Elder Jiang who spoke up, and Qin Wenyan stopped asking further questions.

Although we don't know exactly what happened, as long as Huanhuan is alright, everything is a good thing.

However, what we know now is that Qiao Ziyue and the other two girls definitely bullied Huanhuan.

They wouldn't let those people who dared to bully Huanhuan get away with it so easily!

"Huanhuan must be tired too, go back and take a shower and go to sleep!" Old Jiang said to Jiang Huan.

"Okay!" Jiang Huan couldn't wait to go back to her room, tidy up, and lie down on the bed.

These banquets are a nightmare, even more exhausting than going to war. Not only do you have to wear a 'mask' to attend the banquet, but you also have to watch out for people gossiping. It's so annoying!

Back in her room, Jiang Huan began to observe online public opinion.

Many people sided with her, but most of them thought that the Jiang family was already in such a miserable state, and she was already in such a miserable state, yet Qiao Ziyue and her people were still bullying her, which was really too much.

But these were not the things Jiang Huan wanted to hear; she wanted to see when the person behind it all would finally reveal themselves.

If the person behind that wasn't an idiot, they would have realized something was wrong with just a little thought, since those who opposed her never ended up well...

"Disciple, take out that ancient book again and take a look."

Upon hearing Yue Wuyang's words, Jiang Huan took out the book and handed it to him.

The former quickly flipped through the book and said, "Who put this book up for auction again?"

"It seems to have been brought out by Mr. Duanmu. He said it was passed down from his ancestors, but it has never been used and has just been sitting there. Why not auction it off today and raise funds?"

Upon hearing this, Yue Wuyang nodded slightly, "If it is Duanmu, then that makes sense... Senior Sister's surname is Duanmu."

"Could it be that the Duanmu family are descendants of my master?" Jiang Huan was taken aback.

If that's the case, then the Duanmu family has a history of over a thousand years... Wow! That's quite a long history!

"Not necessarily. But your aunt must have been trying to convey something by passing down this ancient book..." Yue Wuyang placed the book on the table, then paced back and forth in the room, her furrowed brows indicating that she was deep in thought.

After seeing this, Jiang Huan lowered her head and casually flipped through the book.

She didn't know what was guiding her, but she always felt that the book had creases... Logically speaking, a book this old shouldn't have obvious creases, unless someone was creasesing it in a hurry every day.

After thinking it over, she began to fold along the crease.

Soon, she got several strange characters, so she wrote them down in her notebook.

"Master, come and take a look. Do you recognize these characters?"

"Oh?" Upon hearing this, Yue Wuyang turned around, her eyes widening immediately. "How did you come up with those words?"

"That's how we got it."

Jiang Huan demonstrated to Yue Wuyang how she folded the paper along the creases to create several new characters.

It's like deciphering a mystery; it's quite interesting.

"As expected! It was destined that you would be the one I've been waiting for for thousands of years!"

Yue Wuyang laughed heartily, her eyes brimming with joy.

If she weren't in a spirit state, a bunch of people would have rushed into Jiang Huan's room to see what was going on.

"Master, you've confused me again." Jiang Huan scratched his head dejectedly.
