Chapter 1160: Involved

Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios

With a new goal, the director and Chen Yun rushed to the battlefield excitedly, leaving Xia Wanyuan sitting alone and preparing the new popular science video.

“Sister Xia.” Lu Li had unknowingly approached the house. She sat beside Xia Wanyuan and looked curiously at the video on her computer.

“What’s wrong?” Xia Wanyuan glanced at Lu Li as she typed. She saw that she seemed a little happy and hesitant.

“Can I take a few days off?” Lu Li looked at Xia Wanyuan tentatively. “I know it’s been especially busy these past few days, but it’s my grandfather’s seventieth birthday. I want to go back and visit him.”

Xia Wanyuan agreed readily. “Of course. Go ahead. It’s a paid leave.”

Lu Li jumped up in joy and even hugged Xia Wanyuan. “Sister Xia, I know you’re the best.”

Xia Wanyuan smiled. “Alright, there’s no need for you today. Go back and pack your things.”

“Mm!”

Watching Lu Li leave happily, Xia Wanyuan’s eyes suddenly filled with sadness.

When Lu Li mentioned her grandparents, it reminded Xia Wanyuan of her grandfather, the person who had died in battle for the country.

Not only was she unable to see her family again, but she also did not dare to confirm if the Xia Dynasty really existed in China’s history.

Thinking of this, Xia Wanyuan immediately felt unhappy. She put away her computer and wanted to go out for a walk.

Beside the studio was a park by the lake. It was working hours and there were very few people in the park. Xia Wanyuan only wore a mask and strolled in the park, so no one recognized her.

It had been more than a year since Xia Wanyuan arrived in this era. The willow trees by the roadside stretched out their green branches, and all sorts of beautiful flowers were laid on both sides like brocade.

As she walked, she thought about how to make a more interesting popular science video.

Unknowingly, Xia Wanyuan walked to a relatively quiet alley.

The sunlight shone through the tall sycamore trees and shone on the ground. The alley was quiet, and there was only a small stall selling goods sitting by the roadside to rest. There were all sorts of small things in the small stall in front of him.

“Miss, do you need to buy something?” Seeing Xia Wanyuan, the vendor waved enthusiastically at her.

Xia Wanyuan walked over. She had only wanted to take a casual look and was about to leave when she suddenly stopped and looked at a corner in the bamboo basket.

Xia Wanyuan squatted down and took out a small wooden tablet that had been deformed in the corner. “Where did you get this?”

“You like this? I bought this in the west of the city. That shop specializes in selling this. They have other styles that are especially popular. If you like it, I’ll sell it to you cheap.”

Xia Wanyuan held the wooden sign in her hand. “Can you tell me the exact address?”

“28 Tianyuan Road, West City.”

“Thank you.” Xia Wanyuan paid the vendor and left with the wooden sign.

Looking at the familiar symbols and words in her hand, confusion appeared in Xia Wanyuan’s eyes.

The last time she discovered these was in Linxi City. Now, she had also discovered these words and symbols from her previous life in Beijing.

What was going on? Where did they get it?

Before Xia Wanyuan could figure it out, she met an unexpected person at the exit of the park.

“Mrs. Jun?” A straightforward female voice sounded behind her.

Xia Wanyuan turned around and raised an eyebrow. “Adjutant Lin?”

Wasn’t the woman standing in front of me Lin Wei, who had helped Jun Shiling in the southwest?

“Just call me Lin Wei.” Although Lin Wei was a little dissatisfied with Xia Wanyuan at first and had hostility between love rivals, later on, after seeing Xia Wanyuan’s ability, Lin Wei wiped away all these hostility in her heart.

From the bottom of her heart, Lin Wei admired Xia Wanyuan very much.

All along, there were very few people who could make Lin Wei admire them, let alone Xia Wanyuan, who was the only woman.

“Lin Wei.” Xia Wanyuan nodded. “Why are you in Beijing?”

Lin Wei walked forward. “I’m on leave. I’ll leave tomorrow.”

“Mm.” Xia Wanyuan was about to say something when another person walked over from afar.

“Mrs. Jun, what a coincidence.” Su Yueran was wearing a simple sportswear and looked like she had just come out of the stadium.

Xia Wanyuan’s expression turned cold. “Mm.”

Su Yueran’s gaze shifted between Lin Wei and Xia Wanyuan. “I didn’t know that Sister actually knows Mrs. Jun.”

Lin Wei’s expression was calm. “Mrs. Jun? Her?”

Puzzlement flashed across Su Yueran’s eyes. “Don’t you know? This is the wife of the richest man in China, Jun Shiling. Don’t you know her? I saw you talking.”

Lin Wei’s expression was cold. “I haven’t been to Beijing for too long. I don’t know where the south gate you’re talking about is, so I asked her for directions.”

“Oh.” Su Yueran smiled at Xia Wanyuan. “Then I’m sorry, I was rude.”

Xia Wanyuan did not plan to say anything more to Su Yueran. She took the wooden tablet and left.

“Sister.” Su Yueran took a step forward and wanted to hold Lin Wei’s arm.

However, Lin Wei took a step back and did not let Su Yueran approach her. “I’m used to being alone in the military. I don’t like others to approach me.”

“Alright.” Su Yueran smiled faintly. “Sister, it’s almost time to eat. Let’s find a place to eat.”

“Sure.” As soon as she finished speaking, Lin Wei turned around and walked forward. Su Yueran jogged after her.

On the other hand, after Xia Wanyuan left, she was a little puzzled.

She did not expect Su Yueran to be related to Lin Wei. So Su Yueran was actually from the Lin family?

No wonder the entertainment industry had always said that she had a powerful background.

People from the Lin family indeed had a deep background.

The phone rang. Xia Wanyuan pressed the answer button. Jun Shiling’s voice came from the other end. “Bao.”

Just as he finished speaking, Xia Wanyuan stopped him. “I’ll go look for you now.”

“Alright then.” Jun Shiling could only smile and hang up.

Then, he looked at Lin Jing in front of him. “Continue.”

“The ship that Xia Yu was in had entered the harbor, but Xia Yu hasn’t returned. Captain meant that in order to save a Chinese child, Xia Yu secretly got off the ship and didn’t follow them back. By the time they realized it, it was already too late.”

Jun Shiling frowned. “So where’s Xia Yu?”

Lin Jing’s expression was solemn. “Xia Yu should still be in Continent F. I don’t know how the situation is. We’ve already arranged for people to look for him, but the flames of war are frequent in Continent F, so it’s difficult to find exact news.”

Jun Shiling thought for a moment. “In my name, get the Chu family to help find Xia Yu.”

“Yes.” Lin Jing nodded respectfully, then left the office to contact the Chu family.

In the Beijing hotel, Chu Yi leaned on the sofa. Without his glasses, he looked like a lion without his disguise, exuding a devilish laziness.

“Young Master, Jun Shiling sent a message asking us to help them find someone.”

Chu Yi played with the diamond in his hand. “Who is he looking for?”

“They didn’t say it explicitly. They only said that it was a young boy, about nineteen years old. According to our guess, it might be Xia Wanyuan’s younger brother who joined the army, Xia Yu.”

A glint flashed across Chu Yi’s eyes. “We can find someone.”

“Jun Shiling said that he’s willing to provide the corresponding reward.”

“That’s good. Go ahead.” Chu Yi stretched. “It’s not easy for the head of the Jun family to ask us for a favor. We still have to give him face.”

“Yes.”

The call was hung up. Chu Yi narrowed his eyes, thinking about something.

After a while, he opened WeChat on his phone, clicked on his only friend’s chat box, and sent a voice call.

In Glory World Corporation, Xuan Sheng had just returned from a meeting. He sat at his desk and revised a proposal. In the end, he could not help but look up and ask.

“What’s wrong with you?”

By the sofa, Feng Wuyou was nestled like an ostrich and had been in this position for almost three hours.

If it were anyone else, Xuan Sheng would definitely not even bother to ask. However, if it was Feng Wuyou, he felt that this was too abnormal.

After all, Feng Wuyou was a person who could not stay idle at all. When had he ever seen her so quiet?

Feng Wuyou said weakly, “I’m fine.”

Xuan Sheng felt that there was even more of a problem. He put down the document in his hand and walked to Feng Wuyou. “Are you sick?”

Feng Wuyou nodded and shook his head. “Don’t worry about me.”

“You…”

Before Xuan Sheng could finish speaking, Feng Wuyou’s phone suddenly rang. Feng Wuyou took it out and her expression changed drastically.

The excitement and panic on Feng Wuyou’s face were vividly reflected.

“Who called? Why didn’t you answer?” Xuan Sheng looked at Feng Wuyou in confusion. “Did you cause trouble again?”

“What? How is that possible?” Feng Wuyou encouraged herself in her heart and pressed the answer button.

She was very confident. “Hello.”

“Hello, Wuyou.” Chu Yi’s voice was very magnetic to begin with. At this moment, there was a hint of a smile. Feng Wuyou felt that her ears were about to be melted by him.

“W-What Wuyou? Why are you calling me that?” Feng Wuyou stuttered and sounded fierce. Her face could not help but turn red.

What’s wrong with this person?! Why did he call me by my name so intimately?

“Huh? Sorry, I thought, okay, then I’ll call you Miss Feng.” Chu Yi’s voice sounded very terrified, as if he was at a loss.

When he said this, Feng Wuyou felt that she was too domineering.

She was a little embarrassed. “What’s the matter?”

“Didn’t you say last time that you wanted to walk around Beijing with no one to accompany you? I’ve made a strategy. Can I bring you there?”

When Chu Yi said this, Feng Wuyou felt that her attitude just now was even more bad. “Okay, I’ll pick you up later.”

“Okay.” Chu Yi’s tone sounded very obedient, making Feng Wuyou feel inexplicably controlled as a financier.

Feng Wuyou could not help but sigh in her heart.

No wonder the socialites all liked to keep young hunks.

It turned out that the feeling of a rich woman keeping a young hunk was really great!

After the call ended, Feng Wuyou looked up and saw Xuan Sheng looking at her with narrowed eyes.

“Why are you looking at me like that?” Feng Wuyou tried to look righteous, but her face was too red and she could not pretend at all.

“A man? Who?” Xuan Sheng sat in front of Feng Wuyou and assumed a questioning posture.

“Why are you asking so much?” Feng Wuyou turned her face to the side, revealing her red earlobe.

Xuan Sheng’s expression became even more serious. He looked at Feng Wuyou. “Don’t tell me you forgot your surname?”

The moment Xuan Sheng said this, the redness on Feng Wuyou’s face instantly faded. “I know. You don’t have to remind me.”

Xuan Sheng’s expression was still very serious. “I don’t need to tell you. I think you know that you’re only temporary with me. You know the Feng family’s methods better than me. You’ll still marry Chu Yi in the end.”

Feng Wuyou’s face was already very pale. “I know. I just want to indulge one last time, okay? Can’t the puppet have some time to breathe?”

Xuan Sheng looked away. “I don’t care about your matters. I’m just reminding you.”

Feng Wuyou held her bag and looked very bad. “I know you’re doing this for my own good. I know what I’m doing.”

With that, Feng Wuyou left the office.

She drove all the way to the entrance of Qing University.

Chu Yi was still dressed in a familiar shirt and coat. He was wearing a pair of gold-rimmed glasses and holding a few books in his hand. He exuded a scholarly aura.

Feng Wuyou’s heart skipped a beat and she felt a little regretful.

She thought to herself, If only I wasn’t from the Feng family.

When she got out of the car, Feng Wuyou had already restrained the expression on her face and returned to her usual beautiful appearance.

She waved at Chu Yi. “Here.”

Chu Yi smiled at her and walked towards Feng Wuyou.

Feng Wuyou watched as Chu Yi walked over step by step. Behind him was a garden filled with flowers and green trees, but no matter how many flowers there were, they seemed to be inferior to one of Chu Yi’s thousands of charms.

At this moment, Feng Wuyou’s heart seemed to have stopped beating.

“Why are you in a daze?” Chu Yi walked up to Feng Wuyou and reached out to touch her head. “Let’s go.”

Feng Wuyou was about to pull Chu Yi away when she looked up and saw Xia Wanyuan walking towards the school gate.

Feng Wuyou waved at Xia Wanyuan. “Beauty Yuan Yuan!!”

Xia Wanyuan heard the sound and glanced at Feng Wuyou.

In the first moment, Xia Wanyuan’s attention was attracted by Feng Wuyou, but in the next second, her gaze landed on Chu Yi.

Chu Yi smiled and nodded at Xia Wanyuan shyly and elegantly.

Xia Wanyuan waved back at Feng Wuyou, then turned and walked into the campus.

Only then did Feng Wuyou walk into the car. “Xia Wanyuan, you must know her, right? She’s the most popular teacher in your school. I especially like her.”

Chu Yi nodded, his eyes dark. “Of course I know her. She’s Jun Shiling’s wife, the mistress of the Jun family.”
