Master Zhan, your daughter has gone out to catch ghosts again.

Chapter 228 Xiling Chief Returns to School

After finishing his phone call with Qin Yimo, it was already lunchtime. Zhan Jinxi took his own bowl and went to the cafeteria for lunch.

After getting her food, she found a seat by the window and prepared to sit down.

"Honey, let's sit here. This spot is great; we can see the cherry blossom trees outside. How romantic!"

Suddenly, a girl wearing a miniskirt ran over with a tray and sat down in the seat that Zhan Jinxi had chosen.

Her wealthy boyfriend was instantly captivated by Zhan Jinxi.

The girl's face turned red with anger when she saw it.

Zhan Jinxi ignored her and sat down opposite the girl, slowly starting to eat.

Seeing this, the girl's boyfriend quickly sat down next to her, burying his head in his food while stealing glances at Zhan Jinxi.

The girl next to him was so angry she wanted to tear Zhan Jinxi to shreds.

"Hey kid, do you really enjoy being a third wheel?"

Zhan Jinxi looked up at the girl and realized that she was the girl who had competed with him for the position of vice president of the student council, but lost to him.

Ever since she lost, she has repeatedly caused trouble for him. Zhan Jinxi is naturally not afraid and faces the challenge head-on, fighting back and giving her a break for a while.

Unexpectedly, she found a rich second-generation boyfriend to back her up, and he continued to cause trouble for her.

But this rich second-generation boyfriend is different from the ones she's seen before; it seems like he changes boyfriends every day.

"A third wheel? Your boyfriend has been spying on me the whole time. Anyone who didn't know better would think you were the third party." Zhan Jinxi said sternly.

“You…” The girl was furious and looked at her boyfriend.

The girl's boyfriend immediately became obedient, so embarrassed that he almost buried his head in his bowl while secretly laughing.

The girl was so angry that she gritted her teeth, but she didn't know who to vent her anger on.

"Zhan Jinxi, more than half of this semester has passed, how come you still don't have a boyfriend? Before, everyone said that Xiling Changxian was pursuing you, but now look what happened, the Xiling family went bankrupt. Ha, you really have a curse on you, anyone who meets you will have bad luck."

Upon hearing this, the girl's boyfriend deliberately distanced himself from Zhan Jinxi, not wanting to bring bad luck upon himself.

The students around them who were eating also looked at Zhan Jinxi with strange eyes.

"The Xiling family has brought this upon themselves."

The thought of Xiling Yiyao stabbing the hairpin into Youyou's neck still makes her heart pound.

Xi Ling Yi Yao crashed like that; it was too easy for her.

"Oh, so you seem to really dislike the Xiling family, including the Xiling chieftain," the girl asked smugly.

Zhan Jinxi sensed something was wrong; he felt like he was being led astray by the girl.

Then he turned his head and saw Xiling Changxian standing behind him.

Xi Lingchangxian, who had been on leave of absence for several months, has returned.

He probably heard what I just said.

But what if he heard it? She was telling the truth, and he knew it perfectly well himself.

"roll!"

Xi Ling Chang roared at the girl and her boyfriend, his whole body radiating murderous intent.

Although the Xiling family went bankrupt, people in the circle say that Xiling Changxian is exceptionally capable and has a keen eye for talent. It's not impossible for him to rely on the power of his collateral branches to carve out a new path for the Xiling family. Therefore, they are still not to be trifled with.

The girl and her boyfriend picked up their plates and slunk away.

Xi Lingzhang sat down opposite Zhan Jinxi.

Zhan Jinxi ate his meal slowly and deliberately, his demeanor both noble and unhurried.

"You hate the Xiling family that much?"

“Yes, if Xiling Yiyao hadn’t crashed, I would have torn her to pieces.” Zhan Jinxi looked directly at Xiling Changxian and said firmly.

He couldn't understand how much pain she felt, how desperate and helpless she was when she saw Xiling Yiyao stab her neck with a hairpin. Every time she thought of that moment, her heart would ache and she would feel guilty.

"Zhan Jinxi, you've changed."

"Thanks to your sister."

“Jinxi, it’s all in the past now. My sister has paid the ultimate price for everything she did, and my Xiling family has gone bankrupt. Isn’t all of this enough to appease you?” Xiling Changxian asked.

Zhan Jinxi finished the last bite of rice, ignored him, and got up to leave.

Xi Ling Chang stood in front of her, saying, "Jin Xi, I hope you won't take your anger out on me for my sister's matter, and that it won't affect our relationship, okay?"

"Our relationship? Do we even have a relationship? Besides, as long as you are a member of the Xiling family and have a relationship with Xiling Yiyao, I will treat every single person in your Xiling family equally!"

Only now did she fully understand why her elder brother opposed her continuing her contact with Xiling Changxian.

Fortunately, we stopped the losses in time and didn't get trapped.

Thinking back to that tiny bit of attraction I had back then is truly laughable.

"Zhan Jinxi!" Xi Ling Changxian glared angrily at Zhan Jinxi, attracting the attention of many people around.

Zhan Jinxi glared at him, his aura no less imposing than the other's.

"Get out of the way, good dogs stay out of the way."

Zhan Jinxi bypassed him and left directly.

Xi Lingchang paused for a few seconds before realizing what was happening and quickly chased after him.

But Zhan Weimin suddenly appeared and blocked his way.

"Young man, that's not how you pursue someone."

"Who are you?" Xi Ling Changxian felt that he was somewhat familiar, as if he had seen him somewhere before, but he had been too busy lately to remember him at the moment.
