Chapter 86: Qiao Yingzi Has Changed Her Heart!

“You’re absolutely right!” Qiao Yingzi deeply agreed.

She skipped morning self-study and sneaked off to play with her dad’s blocks because she was constantly stifled—studying from morning till night, never a moment’s rest.

Her mother herself had graduated from Chunfeng Middle School and now ran a tutoring class; every time Qiao Yingzi returned from evening self-study, it was nearly ten o’clock, and her mother still assigned her several sets of practice papers to complete.

Seven days a week!

If her grades even slightly fluctuated, and any subject scored poorly—

What else could possibly make Chen Long rush in such desperation except that matter? Aili’er realized she had arrived at the wrong time, interrupting the couple’s tender moment.

The matter was too grave; the Three Judicial Offices dared not open court too early and set the joint review for mid-August. I was worried delays would invite trouble, yet someone truly interfered.

“Oh, how about handling the betting side’s concerns regarding Long Long?” Alecio reminded him—he meant the betting companies’ stakes depended on whether Chen Long would appear.

Su Momo was stunned—what was going on? You Fen and Shi Hao had gone hiking together. Shi Hao had vanished.

There’s still one month left—how can I turn the team into a stronger force within that month?

But then again, Zhang Yang was still “quite” moved—after all, Zhao Ming saying that meant he now saw Zhang Yang as his savior, so Zhang Yang hadn’t saved him in vain.

Time flowed like water, slowly slipping away—before long, tens of thousands of years had passed. Ji Yuchen still sat cross-legged in the Sea of Life, pouring all his effort into comprehending the primordial essence of the Eternal World.

Bai Li Cangming heard this and merely lifted his eyelids slightly. “I didn’t know I now needed your permission to act.” At this moment, Bai Li Cangming’s face had turned dark—he hated others meddling in his affairs, no one was exempt.

This left Ye Qingyan momentarily stunned; she was greatly surprised—formerly, the Chief Secretary never interfered in her affairs, but lately, she couldn’t understand why things had changed.

Once Liao Qing entered the restroom, Jian Han raised her eyes to Jin Sicheng, her gaze blazing with fury—a silent accusation against his shameless behavior.

Lin Yaoyao stared fixedly at Liu Huaidong with her soul-searching gaze for a long time, pressing him with unbearable pressure.

Yu Silan’s emotions had already been unstable; she was utterly exhausted from Zhu Yu’s persistent harassment, and now this man showed up too—she was about to explode.

“What is it? Speak up—it’s fine, Lanlan isn’t an outsider,” Qi Xiuyuan said, watching his expression.

Realizing she was out of danger, Mu Tianjiao ignored the pain in her leg and fled the restaurant in panic.

Saying this, Ji Yuxuan took the spirit ring from his hand and solemnly handed it to Shu Xiaofeng.

Yu Silan had rested at home for only two days when Yun Xia announced she was moving out—she felt she had overstayed, and since Zhang Ma was already caring for Yu Silan so well, she decided not to stay any longer.

The vulnerability lies in the fact that if the transaction fails, it brings catastrophic disaster—like during the Great Depression, pouring milk into rivers, slaughtering piglets, or soybeans going unsold due to trade disputes… Of course, the Great Ming had none of these problems.

As for Xia Yuanji, he had managed the imperial bank for years—his experience was vast and his competence exceptional.

Yinzi’s eyes grew moist as she recalled her secret crush on her master.

But now, no matter how great his past achievements, they were utterly useless.

Rumors had long claimed that the Eastern Tomb Crown Prince, Dongling Huang, had died in the secret tunnel of the Ru Yang Prince’s mansion. Huo Siyu and Huo Ji had never believed it, thinking it merely a scheme by Emperor Rui to sow discord among Dongling Huang’s faction.

If someone respects me a foot, I respect them a yard; but if someone harms me, I have never failed to retaliate.
