Chapter 51

Lin Ning sees situation not good, suddenly stands up, strides toward An Sheng.

Entities: Lin Ning (given), An Sheng.

She without saying anything kicks An Sheng's wrist holding knife precisely.

Entities: Lin Ning (she), An Sheng.

An Sheng endures pain, retracts hand, lets out a low groan, knife in hand falls, makes crisp sound.

Entities: An Sheng.

He didn't react, collapsed onto ground.

Entities: He (An Sheng). Not needed.

Lin Ning is tall, about 1.7 meters.

Entities: Lin Ning.

She wears a white short top, exposing part of her fair skin, lower body matched with loose pink jeans, perfectly outlining her straight long legs, beautiful lines.

Entities: Lin Ning.

See, she lifts her feet and steps heavily on An Sheng's hand, head slightly lowered, her pink medium-length hair naturally falls with her movement.

Entities: Lin Ning, An Sheng.

Bangs slant, revealing a wanton arrogant face, her peach blossom eyes slant up, corners of mouth slightly raised, laughing arrogantly.

Entities: Lin Ning.

Let the surrounding onlookers stare dumbfounded, after reacting, then someone screams.

Entities: none new.

"I fuck, so handsome!"

Entities: none.

"Miss, so handsome, I'm gonna fall in love ah ah!"

Entities: none.

"……"

Lin Ning's tone slightly provocative: "How? Want to bully little sister?"

Entities: Lin Ning.

Xia Shi somewhat fearful steps back one step, if she hadn't dodged, she would definitely be cut by knife.

Entities: Xia Shi.

An Sheng can't free his hand, keeps shouting: "You! Do you know who I am? I am the young master of An Family! If you treat me like this, An Family won't let you off!"

Entities: An Sheng, An Family.

Lin Ning hearing this, her stepping action unchanged.

Entities: Lin Ning.

People around fear trouble, dare not step forward, just whisper aside.

Entities: none.

"Oh? Young master? I'm so scared~ What to do?" Lin Ning laughs, then pretends to be scared and steps hard on An Sheng's hand.

Entities: Lin Ning, An Sheng.

"Quickly release this young master, then kneel and kowtow to apologize!" An Sheng thinks she's scared, shouts loudly.

Entities: An Sheng.

"Apologize? Little three?" Lin Ning says, chuckles, eyes fearless look down at An Sheng.

Entities: Lin Ning, An Sheng.

"An Family's trifling matters, in West City are no secret, illegitimate children many."

Entities: An Family, West City.

"She offending An Family won't cause trouble."

Entities: An Family.

"But even if trouble, it's fine."

"She, never fears trouble."

"Moreover, he is still an illegitimate child."

Entities: He (An Sheng). Not needed.

"An Family unless brain-dead would think offending Lin Family because of an illegitimate child!"

Entities: An Family, Lin Family.

"Lin Ning, second-ranked young lady of West City's prestigious Lin Family, her sister is president of Lin Group."

Entities: Lin Ning, West City, Lin Family, Lin Group.

"In C Shi, with her mother's status in upper circles she can also speak."

Entities: C Shi.

"Such scene she completely need not fear."

"Xia Shi stares at Lin Ning with sparkling eyes."

Entities: Xia Shi, Lin Ning.

"This miss is so cool!!"

Xia Shi speaks: "An Sheng! You just dared trip Miss! Miss is of Xia Family! Xia Family won't let you off!"

Entities: Xia Shi, An Sheng, Xia Family.

Lin Ning hearing this, raises eyebrows, didn't expect she is Xia Family miss.

Entities: Lin Ning, Xia Family.

Lin Ning rarely attends big family gatherings, usually her sister goes, she plays.

Entities: Lin Ning, her sister (Lin Group president? but not named). Not needed.

She hasn't seen Xia Shi, but heard of her.

Entities: Xia Shi.

"West City's fourth-ranked prestigious Xia Family miss Xia Shi has an open personality, just too open, seems a bit mischievous."

Entities: West City, Xia Family, Xia Shi.

"Even if she causes trouble, behind Xia Family will help settle, in West City few dare provoke."

Entities: Xia Family, West City.

An Sheng hearing her words, looks up at Xia Shi in service uniform: "You are... Xia Family miss? How could... Xia Family miss possibly work at milk tea shop!"

Entities: An Sheng, Xia Shi, Xia Family.

"An Family is lowest-ranked prestigious family in West City, so they act low-key."

Entities: An Family, West City.

"An Sheng was recognized back in March, after returning An Family he transferred to Lan Lin, also was severely tutored by his father about C Shi's figures one must not provoke."

Entities: An Sheng, An Family, Lan Lin, C Shi.

"First must not provoke: C Shi's four major conglomerate families, Jiang, Mu, Song, Shen any one!"

Entities: C Shi, Jiang Family, Mu Family, Song Family, Shen Family. Jiang Liangjin is a member of the Jiang Family.

Second, do not provoke any prestigious young masters or misses from C Shi, especially the four major prestigious families: the Lin Family, the Nan Family, the Ye Family (first), and the Ye Family (second). Also, there are several prominent families in the West City.

Entities: Lin Family, Nan Family, and two Ye families (different clans both surnamed Ye).

Also, there are several prominent families in the West City.

"Third must not provoke: any prestigious family larger than An Family!"

Entities: An Family.

"Two months, An Sheng already memorized."

Entities: An Sheng.

"Besides those prestigious children studying abroad, others either study at Lan Lin or at Nan Feng..."

Entities: Lan Lin, Nan Feng.

"He previously not recognized back, at school was mocked."

Entities: He (An Sheng). Not needed.

"Now he finally returned to An Family, but because he is illegitimate child, at Lan Lin sometimes still mocked by those with lower family background."

Entities: An Family, Lan Lin, Family Background.

"He told his father his father also didn't care, just let him endure."

Entities: He (An Sheng), his father (not named). Not needed.

"He fears offending people, at Lan Lin must watch faces of those young masters/misses, act timidly."

Entities: Lan Lin.

"He has long suffered such days."

"Now on vacation once, he wants to use An Family young master's name to do something."

Entities: An Family.

"Thus, three days ago he saw Xia Shi appearing easy to bully, wanted to get her, thus announced his identity, didn't expect..."

Entities: An Sheng, Xia Shi.

"She is still a tough one."

Entities: Xia Shi.

Xia Shi hearing this, says: "Miss coming to experience life is not allowed?"

Entities: Xia Shi.

"Without waiting for An Sheng reply, a provocative tone comes."

"An Sheng? An Family's illegitimate child, tsk tsk, so arrogant outside?"

Entities: An Sheng, An Family.

"A male student walks out from crowd, seems watched long, face shows contempt without restraint."

Entities: none.

"Yu, Yu... Yu Young Master!" An Sheng collapses, looks at newcomer terrified shouts.

Entities: Yu Family. Yu Shao Shao refers to Yu Ci as the young master of the Yu Family.

"How did Yu Family's eldest young master Yu Ci come!"

Entities: Yu Family, Yu Ci.

No matter whether Yu Ci is acting as the eldest young master of the Yu Family, or as a close friend of Jiang Liangjin, Gu Xingnan, Xia Chaoyi and other scions of wealthy families, he cannot afford to offend the An Family!

The surroundings burst into wave after wave of ever‑louder exclamations.

Wow, it's Young Master Yu!

Ahhhhh, the one beside him is Young Master Gu, right?

……

A youth wearing a coffee‑colored T‑shirt lazily leaned against the sofa on the other side of the wall.

He bit a clear straw in his mouth, held a phone in one hand, lowered his gaze, and his soft, black, slightly wavy bangs just covered his brow and eyes.

As if chatting with someone, his pale red lips curled up.

Hearing the growing noise, he finally lifted his head.

Those blue eyes were especially striking—not a deep, rich blue, but an extremely pale ice‑blue.

Seeing more and more people gathering inside the shop.

His pupils were clear yet devoid of any warmth; his originally gentle eyes turned cold, the dignified composure at their depths mixed with a hint of lazy irritation, causing people to instinctively lower their voices.

Mu Xin set down what he was drinking on the table, then reluctantly stood up.

Some of his bangs fell over his forehead, just barely covering part of his brow, yet they did not hide his expression.

The two bodyguards in casual attire beside him saw him rise and also stood up from the sofa.

Young Master?

Mu Xin heard the clamor ahead, his brow slightly furrowed, his magnetic voice tinged with annoyance: 'It's so noisy.'

He just came here to sit awhile waiting for someone; the chatter across the wall has been going on for a while.

Bodyguard Song Ze Yi had already noticed the other side of the wall.

Seeing that the noise over there had bothered the Young Master, he put on a Smile, took out an earpiece from his bag, and handed it to Mu Xin.

Then he softly said to Mu Xin: 'I just heard that Young Master Yu seems to have arrived! Young Master, please stay seated here, I'll go check.'

Mu Xin took the earpiece, hearing the bodyguard Song Ze Yi's words, a hint of amusement flickered in his eyes, but he quickly suppressed it.

West City Yu Family Eldest Young Master…… This shop is indeed quite popular.

No wonder that person came here to talk with him.

He sat back down on the sofa, his Expression returned to normal, carrying a hint of nonchalant coolness, 'Alright, you and Song Ze'er go check it out.'

Having said that, the two bodyguards, Song Ze Yi and Song Ze'er, left.

Mu Xin put on the earpiece to calm his emotions, then leaned back against the sofa and picked up his phone.
