Chapter 400: Chapter 400: Arriving at Yan City

What Jiang Zhao Yuan didn’t expect was that, once Jiang Lili and Jiang Yan left, the house suddenly felt entirely empty.

Looking at the empty dining table, the old master became angry and slammed his cane down hard.

"Where is everyone? Where have they all gone?!"

With caution, Jiang Ye looked up at the old master’s angry face and cleared his throat before explaining:

"The First Lady and the Second Lady went to the company early in the morning. As you know, they’ve been especially busy these past few days."

"What about Shi Xu?"

"The third young master said he wanted to spend more time with the Second Lady recently, so he moved to stay at her company."

"And Jiang Cheng? Didn’t he arrange to be a day student? Why hasn’t he come down for breakfast?"

"This..." Jiang Ye said with some difficulty, "The second young master said it was inconvenient staying at home and the commute was affecting his studies, so he applied to return to the school dorms."

Jiang Zhao Yuan: ?

Alright, alright.

So you all don’t want to stay in this house, is that it?

Then just don’t bother coming back at all!

...

Beijing No.1 High School.

The homeroom teacher looked at the leave of absence form Jiang Cheng handed over and pushed his glasses up his nose with some difficulty.

"Jiang Cheng, the teacher knows you’re a good student, but now that you’re in your senior year, taking more than a month’s leave will result in you falling behind a lot of coursework."

Jiang Cheng coughed heavily a few times, his eyes reddening.

"Teacher, I didn’t want to either, but my depression has really become severe, and my family hopes I take a month off from school to recuperate before continuing with classes."

As he spoke, he handed over his medical records and a handwritten leave of absence request from his parents to the homeroom teacher.

The teacher was startled. "Moderate depression? Are you... are you okay?"

"I’m fine, teacher. I’ll get better with some rest at home."

"Then why didn’t your family come with you?"

"They..." Jiang Cheng bit his lip, "My father passed away early, and my mother is busy every day. I don’t want to bother her anymore."

Hearing this, the homeroom teacher’s nose tingled.

In her eyes, Jiang Cheng had always been an obedient and excellent student, not only outstanding in appearance but also in academic achievements and every other aspect.

She had never imagined that such an exemplary student had such a difficult family environment behind him.

No wonder he had depression.

"Alright, alright." The homeroom teacher hastily signed the leave of absence form, "Just focus on recovering at home for the time being. Don’t worry about your coursework; getting your health back is what’s important."

"Okay, thank you, teacher!"

After thanking her, Jiang Cheng took the leave form and left with his backpack.

Seeing this, Zhou Wenqi, who had been helping the grade director sort papers, finally looked up, his gaze complex as he watched Jiang Cheng’s retreating figure.

After hesitating for a few seconds, he put down what he was doing and chased after him.

"Jiang Cheng!"

Hearing the call, Jiang Cheng turned his head, puzzled at the sight of the panting Zhou Wenqi.

With furrowed brows, he said coldly, "What is it? I haven’t been troubling you recently, and you better not think of complaining about me to Jiang Lili. Let me tell you, don’t assume that just because your brother is now at my house—"

However, in the next second, Zhou Wenqi suddenly charged forward and hugged him tightly.

"What are you—"

"Jiang Cheng, don’t worry, I’ll always be here waiting for you, waiting for you to come back and be my only rival."

Jiang Cheng: ???

Is his brain damaged from all the math problems??? freewebnσvel.cøm

No matter how much Jiang Cheng tried, he couldn’t push away Zhou Wenqi, who clung to him like an octopus.

To make matters worse, Zhou Wenqi continued to choke up.

"Depression is nothing to be scared of. If you feel like you can’t hold on, come find me. I’ll be your best listener because in this school, no one else has a heart-to-heart with you except me."

Jiang Cheng: ???

What on earth is he imagining?!

After finally getting rid of Zhou Wenqi, Jiang Cheng took a deep breath and then walked to the school gate to hail a taxi.

Seeing him get in, the driver asked kindly, "Where to, student?"

"Airport," Jiang Cheng replied without looking up.

In his hand was a candidate registration form for "Wilderness Survival 30 Days."

Just last month, he had come of age.

If he had the chance to get that five hundred million, wouldn’t that mean he was completely free?

...

...

After a day’s journey, Lili and another person finally arrived at Yan City Airport in the early evening.

Perhaps because the guests for "Wilderness Survival" were all landing here, what was usually a small airport was now packed with people these past few days.

Lili especially felt an unprecedented enthusiasm from the coastal people; she was tightly surrounded by fans who had come early to the airport to meet her the moment she got off the plane.

Screams were erupting all around.

"Ah ah ah, it’s really Lili, it’s really Lili!"

"I love you, Jiang Li, my husband, ah ah ah ah ah!"

"My God, Jiang Li is so gorgeous, I’m going to die of beauty!"

"Jiang Li really came to Yan City, I’m so excited, it’s my first time being so close to my idol!"

"...."

Faced with the slightly crazed fans, Lili did not resist, but politely nodded her head and began to sign for them.

Once again being ignored on the side, Jiang Yan: "....."

He was puzzled.

Did Lili have some sort of special magnetism about her?

Why did people like her wherever she went?!

He was the one who entered the entertainment industry, so why didn’t he see any fans coming to pick him up?!

To think that he even took the time to tidy himself up on the plane.

"Jiang Yan? Are you Jiang Yan?!"

Finally, an excited female voice rang out from behind him.

Jiang Yan was instantly thrilled.

Haha, his fans had finally arrived.

With that, he put on his sunglasses and struck what he thought was a super cool pose as he turned around.

"Autograph or photo?"

The girl handed over her notebook and pen excitedly, a bit embarrassedly saying:

"Umm, Jiang Yan, could you please help me get an autograph from Jiang Li? It’s too crowded over there, I can’t get through."

Jiang Yan, who had already picked up the pen ready to sign his own name: "...."

"Go, go, go." He shoved the items back into the girl’s arms, "I am Jiang Yan, and I don’t know any Jiang Li. You’ve got the wrong person."

The girl: "...."

She retracted her pen in disappointment and turned to post a Weibo update—

"Folks, I met Jiang Li and Jiang Yan in Yan City. Jiang Li is even kinder than on the show, and Jiang Yan is even ruder and more aloof than on the show."

...

An hour had passed, and Lili had already signed several hundred name cards, but the crowd around her seemed to be growing instead of shrinking.

The reason was that many passers-by who didn’t know Jiang Li, seeing such a grand presence on her side and her fair and beautiful appearance, all came over to get autographs.

Lili was somewhat overwhelmed for a moment.

If she had known, she would have hired a pair of bodyguards before coming.

"Excuse me, excuse me... Yes, yes, I’m Jiang Li’s assistant, please make some room."

Just as she was fretting, a voice suddenly cut through.

Looking up, Lili saw a familiar face.

"Huo Xuan?"
