Wang Duo’s expression did not look too good after Ji Yang humiliated him in front of everyone. He slammed the table. “Ji Yang, you’ve gone too far. I did everything I could to get you to go. So what, I’m not your buddy anymore?”

Ji Yang frowned. “Buddy? You think you’re worthy enough to be my buddy?”

His buddy? Anybody can be his buddy now?

“Ji Yang, what do you mean?” Someone around them laughed, and Wang Duo’s expression turned even uglier. He was furious, “Explain!”

“I don’t want to talk to you today. Get lost.” Ji Yang was getting impatient.

Wang Duo wanted to continue pestering him, but Ji Yang kicked his chair over with a bang and grabbed his collar. “You don’t understand the human language, do you? Don’t annoy me!”

A fight was about to erupt when someone suddenly shouted from outside, “Ji Yang, someone is here for you!”

Ji Yang, whose face was filled with anger, instantly changed his expression. As he tidied up his wrinkled clothes, he looked outside with an expectant gaze. Outside the door, he saw a slim and graceful figure walking over, her skirt swaying gracefully.

Ji Yang was so excited that he didn’t even care about his surroundings. He rushed out, “You really came!”

He tried his best not to appear so happy, but he couldn’t suppress his smile no matter how hard he tried.

Sigh, how embarrassing. He already grew up, yet his guardians still came to school to check up on him. How would that look in front of others? However, he couldn’t refuse his sister-in-law’s kind intentions, so he reluctantly accepted it.

Seeing that he kept glancing behind her, Shen Hanxing smiled and explained, “The stairs. It’s not convenient for your big brother to come up, so I asked him to wait outside.”

Oh, who cared if he came or not?

Ji Yang pursed his lips and was about to speak when Wang Duo’s annoying voice came from behind him. “Ji Yang, you refused to hang out with us just to wait for a woman? Who is this, she does look…”

“Shut up!”

Ji Yang turned his head abruptly and looked at him coldly. “Wang Duo, I advise you to watch your mouth. This is my sister-in-law.”

“Sister-in-law? Since when do you have a sister-in-law?” Wang Duo was stunned for a moment before he snapped back to reality. “This is… This is your brother Ji Yan’s…”

“That’s right, this is President Ji’s wife.” Wei Ling appeared out of nowhere and placed his arm on Ji Yang’s shoulder. He smiled maliciously. “What’s the matter, Wang Duo, you wanted to skip class with Ji Yang again?”

“Skip class?”

Shen Hanxing narrowed her eyes.

“I didn’t!”

Ji Yang instinctively defended himself. “I didn’t skip class. They did ask me to go out, but I didn’t agree!”

“That’s good.”

Shen Hanxing nodded. Her gaze fell on Ji Yang’s silver hair and Wang Duo’s green hair. After a long pause, she said, “Your grades are dependent on your intellect. I’m not asking you to do well, but a student has to act like a student and attend class properly. I believe that as long as you attend class properly, you’ll pass the final exam, right?”

Shen Hanxing smiled and pointed at Ji Yang’s hand and brain. “Members of the Ji family aren’t stupid, right?”

Ji Yang’s palm tightened. For some reason, Shen Hanxing’s nonchalant glance reminded him of the pain he felt when she struck his palm. He quickly responded, “Yes, yes, yes, I will pass!”

Wang Duo’s mouth dropped open when he saw Ji Yang’s cowardly attitude.

“Okay, I believe you can do it too.” Shen Hanxing handed him the fruit tea she bought on the way here and said gently, “Now go back to class. After school, I will ask Auntie Chen to prepare that fried yellow croaker dish you like for dinner.”

Wei Ling, who grew up with his brother after his parents passed away when he was young, became jealous and he sarcastically mocked, “Hmph, not mentioning the fight last time, you even need your family to bring you drinks? Ji Yang, are you still breastfeeding?”

“What?”

Shen Hanxing replied indifferently. “Why do you care if his sister-in-law brings him food? Or is it because your brother is too busy with work to take care of you? Are you jealous?”

Various emotions flashed across Wei Ling’s face when he heard her.

Seeing Wei Ling like this, Ji Yang gloated. The fruit tea was ice-cold. Drinking it during the hot summer helped clear his mind and made him feel more alive.

After Shen Hanxing left, he held the fruit tea and pushed away Wang Duo. He said enthusiastically, “Go away. Don’t disturb me while I’m studying!”

That night, Shen Hanxing was thirsty and went downstairs to get some water. However, she saw Chen Liang running upstairs in a hurry. She stopped him. “What’s wrong? Why are you in such a hurry?”

Seeing her, Chen Liang first heaved a sigh of relief, but he still looked anxious. “Madam, I just received a call saying that Second Young Master went to Pan Shan District to race.”
