Chapter 297: Chapter 297: Jealousy
Yun Shifei hadn't had the chance to stop Xu Yuejiao before Xu Yuejiao had already gone to find Cheng Lie.
"Good morning, Cheng Lie." Xu Yuejiao greeted him.
Cheng Lie hadn't expected to see Xu Yuejiao and nodded politely at her. "Sister."
Hearing his polite greeting, the anger Xu Yuejiao had been feeling moments ago dissipated by more than half.
Maybe—just maybe—he really didn’t have that much connection with the other person?
Cheng Lie also spotted Yun Shifei. Yun Shifei smiled at him and stuffed something into his hands. "Here, have
some."
These were snacks she had recently bought extras of.
After handing them over, she glanced at him a couple more times. "Are you planning to head back now?"
Cheng Lie made a sound of acknowledgment. "Next time, I'll cto your school to find you."
Yun shifei nodded.
At that moment, she felt someone's gaze fixated on her.
She turned and saw Wen Lin standing not far from Cheng Lie.
She actually really wanted to know what kind of relationship they had. She’d never seen this girl before, yet
there was something vaguely familiar about her.
While she hesitated about whether to ask, Wen Lin had already stepped forward, smiling as she looked at Yun
Shifei. "Hello. I'm a friend of Mr. Cheng. My nis Wen Lin."
A friend, huh.
But that gaze, so laden with aggression, made Yun Shifei feel uncomfortable.
It was as if Wen Lin was sizing her up with a critical eye that Yun Shifei couldn't quite interpret.
Wait... Wen Lin?
The last tYun Shifei heard this nwas when she’d gone to play piano.
Back then, she hadn't known who Wen Lin was.
So, this Wen Lin was the heiress of the Wen Group—the future Sect Leader of the Wen Group...
Yun Shifei suddenly remembered. No wonder she felt Wen Lin seemed familiar. In her previous life, she had seen
Cheng Lie and Wen Lin attend an event together, and rumors were even circulated about them.
Later, Wen Lin had stepped forward and said svague words, while Cheng Lie had simply stated that they
were just long-tfriends.
So, they had known each other since a long tago.
Yun Shifei’s mood suddenly darkened. That's right, Cheng Lie right now needed to climb higher, and forging
connections with influential people was essential. No matter how talented he was, it would still be difficult
without networking.
She couldn't offer him any help in that department—but Wen Lin could.

Yun Shifei snapped back to reality and smiled at him. "It’s nothing. Let's meet again when we're back at school,
okay?"
The change in her tone confirmed to Cheng Lie that Yun Shifei seemed a bit down. Could it be that she was
jealous after seeing him get so close to Wen Lin?
He reached out and gently ruffled her hair, leaning close to her ear. "About last night... I'm sorry. But you'll still
have to take responsibility for me."
Yun Shifei’s face instantly flushed bright red.
On the way back, Xu Yuejiao remarked, "That Wen Lin clearly has a thing for Cheng Lie. Shi Fei, you'll have to be
careful."
"It's fine," Yun Shifei thought.
Though she felt discontent deep down, she understood that Cheng Lie’s current circumstances required help
from the Wen Family.
As for whether they would end up together—that part hadn’t happened in her previous life. As far as she could
remember, Cheng Lie had remained single until her death.
But then again, what was the point in dwelling on it? Everything in this life had already started anew, hadn't it?
After Yun Shifei and Xu Yuejiao left, Wen Lin turned to Cheng Lie. "Is she the girl you like?"
She asked with surprising directness, though her heart trembled inside. It was the first tin years that she had
felt the sting of insecurity.
Cheng Lie made a noise of confirmation.
"That little girl is truly charming. Ever since that last banquet, Qin Yumo has been chasing after her non-stop,"
Wen Lin sighed.
Cheng Lie frowned slightly at the mention of Qin Yumo.
"Last time, Uncle Qin and my grandfather were hoping to arrange forto marry Qin Yumo. But who could've
predicted that during the banquet, Qin Yumo met that girl?"
"They met at the banquet?"
The last tCheng Lie had fought with Qin Yumo, he knew that Qin Yumo had been pursuing Yun Shifei. That
was why he asked Qin Chi Jin to intervene. But it turned out their first encounter had been at a banquet?
"She was playing the piano on stage at the time."
She plays piano...
Cheng Lie had never seen Yun Shifei play piano before. They had spent so much ttogether in high school,
but she had never mentioned learning piano.
To play piano at a formal banquet, she must be very skilled.
Cheng Lie’s mind conjured up Yun Shifei’s timid yet obedient demeanor, and he remembered the tshe had
amazed him with her proficiency in English. Suddenly, he felt that there were many things about Yun Shifei that
she had kept hidden from him.
"What's wrong, Cheng Lie?" Wen Lin asked.
She hadn’t expected that what she said would provoke such a strong reaction from him—his face had turned
unmistakably cold.
Was he planning to confront Qin Yumo? Well, that scoundrel deserved a beating anyway. Let him have it.
"It's nothing. Let's head back and check on your grandfather's health."
Wen Lin nodded.
During these couple of days spent with Cheng Lie, she had beceven more certain that this was the type of
man she liked. Despite his lack of a powerful family background, his future was undoubtedly bright.
In her social circles, there were plenty of spoiled and unprincipled heirs, like Qin Yumo. She had no interest in
them whatsoever.
If only this man could love her.
But that girl...
Two days later, Wen Lin had her subordinates deliver Yun Shifei’s information to her.
A child from the Nancheng Yun Family. Years ago, she had been abducted. Later, her family adopted a foster
daughter, and then eventually, Yun Shifei was brought home.
She and Cheng Lie had been close ever since high school.
No wonder.
She'd known him for so long—even back in high school. No wonder Cheng Lie would fall for her.
This little girl was pretty, but in every other aspect, she couldn't compare to Wen Lin.
If only Cheng Lie had met Wen Lin earlier, he probably would have fallen for her first, right?
But what surprised her was that
someone raised in the countryside
for so many years FOL and
perpen emically, play
piano expertly, and carry herself with
elegance. She really didn't seem like

Wen Lin wasn't in a hurry. After all,
the Wen Family was about to begin
working with the Qi Family on si
collaboration and Cheng Lie would
be the one leading their project. In the

Still, she figured she might as well join forces with Qin Yumo.
She went to a club to find Qin Yumo.
Qin Yumo was in a private room drinking, surrounded by women and his friends.
The lively atmosphere grew quiet the moment Wen Lin appeared.
Wen Lin's aura was so commanding—she didn’t even need to speak to make her presence impossible to ignore.
Everyone around was stunned. Wen

Wen Lin turned to Qin Yumo and called his name. "Qin Yumo."
Qin Yumo lifted his slightly dazed eyes to look at Wen Lin. "What? The illustrious Wen Family heiress has call
this way. What's the occasion?"
His tone carried a hint of playful mockery.
She disdained him, but he disdained her just as much.
"I have a proposition. Would you be interested?"
"What kind of proposition?" he asked.
"One involving Yun Shifei."
