Under the dim light of the streetlamp, one could barely make out that it was the outline of a man.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A cold wind blew, accelerating the man’s footsteps.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He raised his hand to press down on his hat, striding quickly towards the black car under the tree.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thump thump—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sound of knocking on the car window was dull and hurried.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next second, the car window automatically rolled down, and the man took an envelope from his pocket and handed it in through the window.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The money has been transferred to your account. You know what to do, I don’t need to tell you, right?\" a dark voice came from inside the car.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’ll leave the capital tonight,\" said the man in the blue clothes, his tone obsequious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon after, the car window closed, and the black sedan drove off into the distance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The autumn grew intense, and the parasol trees at Beisen Academy turned a deep red.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Jiuliang hadn’t been back to Beisen for a long time, and her return stirred up excitement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially among the teachers, who smiled so broadly they looked like they were about to split their faces.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Good students were liked by every teacher, after all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Jiuliang was sprawled on her desk, her eyes half-closed and misty, with traces of sleepiness lingering around her brows and eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She wasn’t blind to the constant glances thrown her way, but she had no interest in paying them any mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She really was... so, so tired!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All thanks to Mohan, that immensely tiresome devil.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The invigilator hadn’t arrived yet, and everyone still had smiles on their faces, whispering to each other from time to time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The topic discussed most was still Ye Jiuliang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Do you think Ye Jiuliang can still keep her rank as first in the grade after being away from class for so long?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ha, she used to come to class every day only to sleep or play games. When have you ever seen her paying attention in class?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That’s true.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing the subdued murmurs behind him, Ye Miao’s pen-twirling fingers paused, and his eyes gradually darkened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He glanced sideways at the figure by the window—the girl sprawled out on her desk, napping without any sign of the stress of an exam looming over her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just then, Xu Li entered, holding a large stack of test papers in his hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In an instant, all the whispering in the classroom ceased.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was so quiet, you could hear a pin drop.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Li stepped onto the podium and glanced in Ye Jiuliang’s direction, a satisfied smirk curling his lips.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had at least remembered to come for the exam.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For the final exam, paper’s difficulty was naturally beyond mention.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When they received the papers, everyone’s faces were ashen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Jiuliang looked at the test placed on her desk and barely lifted her eyelids.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She reached into her drawer, fumbled around, and finally grabbed a pen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Twenty minutes later, Ye Jiuliang left the classroom to the horror-filled gazes of everyone there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were no tests in the afternoon, so naturally, Jiuliang wouldn’t stay in Beisen; she hopped on her motorbike and coolly made her exit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The bustling streets were filled with the faded yellow of drifting leaves every day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Emerging from the ice cream shop, Ye Jiuliang’s hand now held a box of ice cream, as she scooped and ate with a small spoon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The cool sweetness spread through her mouth, turning her clear eyes into crescents.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Jiuliang sat on the motorcycle, in no hurry to go; if Li Mochan saw this ice cream, it would only end up thrown in the trash.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She casually observed her surroundings when suddenly a figure caught her eye.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man came out of the supermarket, his hands carrying shopping bags.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a smile, she was about to look away when the man looked over at her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their gazes met in the air, the man smiled slightly, put the bags in his car, and then walked towards her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I didn’t expect Director Ming to do his own grocery shopping,\" Ye Jiuliang teased.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mingchong chuckled softly, \"Directors are ordinary people too; we need to eat and live.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While speaking, his gaze landed on the ice cream in her hand, \"Why are you sitting here eating ice cream? Don’t you have classes to attend?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We had exams today,\" Ye Jiuliang replied casually.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Do you have some free time?\" Mingchong looked at her with a smile in his eyes, \"I’ve been meaning to invite you to sample my cooking, but never found the time. Today I’ve bought groceries; how about visiting my home?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Jiuliang said, \"Thank you for the kind offer, Director Ming, but I don’t want to trouble you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Really, it’s no trouble. Today is the birthday of someone very important to me; she’s no longer here, and eating alone is rather boring,\" he said, his warm voice tinged with melancholy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sensing his sorrowful tone, Ye Jiuliang couldn’t help but feel a twinge of sympathy for him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The first time she saw him at the resort, she inexplicably felt a certain warmth towards him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially when he smiled, it was as if she had seen it somewhere before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Previously, Feng Yi mentioned that Mingchong had been an orphan since childhood, growing up in an orphanage before a relative finally took him in, though that relative was not kind to him, either with abuse or scolding.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One could say that Mingchong’s journey to his current success, owning such a large company, was completely self-made, and he had always kept a clean reputation in the business world, renowned for his integrity and still unmarried to this day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bringing her wandering thoughts back, Ye Jiuliang curved her lips into a smile, \"Then I shall look forward to Director Ming’s cooking.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before she finished speaking, Mingchong’s eyes brightened, and his face showed excitement, his mind already planning today’s menu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let’s go. You lead the way, and I’ll follow on my motorcycle,\" Ye Jiuliang tossed the half-finished ice cream into a trash can and pulled out her keys from her pocket.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mingchong nodded, his smile too brilliant, as if he had won the lottery.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching his figure stride across the street, Ye Jiuliang’s eyebrows lifted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was he that happy?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Along the way, Mingchong occasionally looked up at the rearview mirror, making sure Ye Jiuliang’s motorcycle was following, fearing she might change her mind and leave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mingchong’s residence was in a villa area in the city center.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He stopped the car two meters from the steps, exited the car with a smile that lingered on his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Taking out the shopping bags from the car, he turned to Ye Jiuliang, who had parked her motorcycle, \"Jiuliang, this way.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Jiuliang looked at the overtly joyous person, her lips twitching uncontrollably.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wasn’t his happiness a bit too much?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Jiuliang shook her head, stepped up the stairs, and followed him into the house.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Jiuliang, make yourself comfortable, no need to stand on ceremony, just think of this as your own home,\" Mingchong said warmly, as he carried the bags into the kitchen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Jiuliang sat on the couch, taking in her surroundings out of habit whenever she was in a new environment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The decor was simple and elegant, and a glance around revealed that many decorations were sky blue, indicating the owner’s preference for this color.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The French windows were open, revealing a mini-lake outside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Jiuliang got up and walked over, the green grass was covered with sunflowers, and there were several koi in the mini-lake.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Footsteps approached from behind, and Ye Jiuliang turned back as Mingchong offered her a bottle of juice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Jiuliang took it, said thanks, and then unscrewed the cap, sipping the juice lightly.\u003C\u002Fp>",1307,"2026-05-30T05:18:55.761Z","2026-06-01T04:30:24.264Z",1,"novelbin.me","deb16e8791d4a8339c16cb0deb365c86edc33032c134b0a82c05f6fbb10e5a0f","the-lady-of-the-prestigious-family-is-a-big-boss-chapter-306","the-lady-of-the-prestigious-family-is-a-big-boss-chapter-304",877,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-lady-of-the-prestigious-family-is-a-big-boss-cover.jpg"]
