Downstairs.
Yan Yi stood rooted to the ground with his phone in his hand. A chill, at the same time, ran down his spine.
He turned to look at Li Feng, who had just walked in, and immediately asked, “Li Feng, did something happen today? Why is Master Zhan in a bad mood?!”
Li Feng cluelessly responded, “I do not know of an issue. I barely recall he was in a bad mood. Why?”
Yan Yi gulped. He thought of Master Zhan’s cold voice just now. He knew that his mood wasn’t something one would like to see.
Li Feng said he was okay. It meant nothing had angered him before he came back and that something must have when he got home.
‘Didn’t Master Zhan go upstairs to look for that young lady, Shi Qian, when he got home?
‘Why would he look for me if this young lady had angered him?’
Yan Yi pondered as he hurried upstairs.
He walked to the door of the study room and knocked. He said carefully, “Master Zhan, it’s me.”
Yan Yi heard Shang Sizhan’s unhappy voice. “Come in!”
Yan Yi felt a chill down his spine when he heard his cold voice. Then, he braced himself and walked into the study room.
He went inside the study room.
Shang Sizhan sat before the desk.
Shi Qian sat on the chair beside him and looked at Yan Yi awkwardly.
It had been so long ago, yet Master Zhan wanted to dig up the past and even called Yan Yi over to question him.
Shi Qian scratched her head awkwardly.
“Master Zhan, you were looking for me?” Yan Yi walked forward.
Shang Sizhan looked at him and asked coldly, “Did you know that Qianqian and Jiang Ci were seatmates in their third year?!”
Yan Yi was flabbergasted.
It was indeed because of Shi Qian!
However, why did she suddenly mention she shared the same table as Jiang Ci for about year now?
He knew about this matter and had some concerns at the time. But he could see that Shi Qian had no romantic feelings for Jiang Ci, so he no longer interfered.
Moreover, with Jiang Ci’s status and sterling platonic relationship with Shi Qian, it was inappropriate to meddle between their friendsip.
In addition, tons of grave tasks occupied Shang Sizhan during that time, so he no longer found it necessary and helpful to report this matter.
He did not expect Master Zhan to know about it this time.
“Master, I admit, I know about this,” Yan Yi said carefully.
“Why didn’t you say it?!”
Yan Yi immediately replied, “This subordinate had extensively observed. But I could see that Miss Qianqian maintained a non-romantic relationship but purely friendship and sibling relationship with Second Young Master Jiang Ci. I, I found it futile to meddle with this matter. Also, you were busy at that time. So I didn’t disturb you.”
Shi Qian perked wide-eyed.
‘Observe?!!
‘So Yan Yi had been spying on me back then!’
Shi Qian retaliated at Yan Yi and said, “Yan Yi, that is spying on me!”
Yan Yi blankly froze.
Who did he offend?
For an old matter, he seemed to have offended both of them.
Yan Yi explained afterward, “Miss Qianqian, why would I not monitor? That school is a mess. I was afraid bullies would come at you and abuse you in school, so I’ll go there often and have learned to understand your relationship with Young Master Ci.”
‘Why would he not monitor?’
Master Zhan had been raising cabbages for several years. Of course, he couldn’t let others pluck them.
If Shi Qian and Jiang Ci got along day and night and fell in love over time, wouldn’t Master Zhan be furious?
They would also have to put on a bitter show, and they would all suffer.
Just a thought of it was torturous.
Shi Qian snorted lightly, “You made it sound so nice.”
Yan Yi smiled awkwardly.
“But…” Shi Qian suddenly spoke again and turned to look at Shang Sizhan. “I was in my third year of high school at that time and hadn’t had my eighteenth birthday yet.”
Shang Sizhan coughed lightly and said righteously, “It’s better to prevent trouble before it happens.”
Shi Qian was at a loss for words.
Shang Sizhan looked at Yan Yi and said coldly, “Get out. A deduction on your year-end bonus this year.”
“Yes, Master.” Yan Yi’s heart bled profusely..
