"Humph, it's good as long as you have self-knowledge."

Seeing that Ye Qing had admitted defeat, Lin Xin proudly raised her chin, with a victorious look on her face.

Ye Qing ignored Lin Xin's provocation and found a stone chair to sit on. He poured himself a cup of tea.

'This little girl is just like how she was in my previous life, making things difficult for me the moment we meet … '

Turning his head to look at the scenery on the lake outside the pavilion, Ye Qing drank his tea and his face revealed a trace of regret and disdain.

At this time, a young girl with a cold and gorgeous appearance was walking down a small stone path with a pair of wooden clogs. She was walking towards the pavilion in the lake where Ye Qing and the other two were sitting.

Her slim waist and beautiful chest that resembled a bright moon, as well as her dark blue dress accentuated her cold and elegant temperament. Under the snow-white down quilt that covered his shoulders, the tender skin that he occasionally exposed, under the sunset, shone with a golden, jade-like lustre.

"Yanran, Shichen, I seem to have heard what you were talking about when I came over just now." The young girl walked into the pavilion and casually sat on the empty stone bench beside Ye Qing as she asked.

"Nothing, just a kid from Yanran's mother's house." Lin Shucheng shot a glance at Ye Qing, who was looking at the scenery, and said indifferently.

"Oh?" Chu Yi Rong was slightly stunned and looked at Ye Qing beside her.

Previously, when she came, she thought that Ye Qing was a guest at Lin Chen Cheng Chen's banquet and wondered why she had never seen Lin Xin Cheng have such a good friend. She didn't expect that it was someone that Ye Yanran knew.

"I'm a good friend of Aster, may I ask who Young Master is?" Chu Yi Rong asked Ye Qing politely.

"Hello, I'm Ye Qing." Ye Qing smiled and nodded.

Previously, he had seen the scenery outside of the pavilion, and it was Chu Yi Rong who was walking over from afar.

He had a deep memory of this friend of Lin Shichen's.

Ye Qing remembered that even though Chu Yi Rong looked aloof and cold, her heart was very kind and amiable. In his previous life, he had told him more than once who the person Ye Yanran liked was, urging him to give up quickly and find the person he truly liked.

Unlike Lin Chen, who was standing next to him, who had a cute and cute appearance, high standards, and had never looked at him in a straight eye before, Ye Qing, in his previous life.

Strictly speaking, in his previous life, he and Chu Yi Rong were still a little warm. If it wasn't for the assassination of his mother, Huang Wen, they might have been engaged.

'I remember that Chu Yi Rong showed her business talent early on. In my previous life, when I went to the city to rush the exam, she took more than ten thousand silver coins and thirty attendants with her to set up the Chamber of Commerce in the East Guangdong Province.

As Ye Qing drank the tea in his hand, he thought back to his previous life with Chu Yi Rong.

In his previous life, his mother, Wen Rong's Chamber of Commerce had crossed three prefectures, covering mining, fishing, and cloth industries. When they had hundreds of millions of assets, he had interacted with Chu YiRong, who had been on par with his mother since she was young.

That year, he failed in his literary and martial arts rankings and returned to his mother, Huang Wen, to help him. He met Chu Yirong in the city of Dongyuanzhou.

The two of them met. One was a young master with over a hundred million worth, the heir to the Wen Rong Chamber of Commerce, and the other was a business heroine who had just risen to prominence.

Unfortunately, before he could produce any results, Ye Qing encountered the biggest change of his youth.

His mother had been assassinated and he had taken over the company in a hurry. At that time, he was so busy that he didn't even have the mood to play with Chu Yi Rong.
