Evening:

Mianmian came home with a sour face. Yibo and ziyi are busy in the cafe. So yu bin had charge of house. He scooped some ice cream in bowl. One for him and another for mianmian. He pass it to her.

"What happened doll? " Yu bin asked.

"Nothing i am just exhausted. " Mianmian answered.

"Why? Do you have extra projects in class? " Yu bin asked.

"No i said i am tired mentally. It is so boarding around. I want to go village. Uncle is recovering and he also forgot his ambition so i don't want to leave in city anymore. It's better to go back" She said.

"You came here just a week ago. And what if yibo ge remember and get panic attack. How will you handle him? " Yu bin said.

Mianmian think for while and said, "you are right. When granny was alive she took care of us. But when she died grandpa and uncle never had in good terms. Now we ate here but he rarely call me and ask about our whereabouts. He hates uncle. I don't know why but he never show any intrest in us. " Mianmian said.

"Why he hate yibo ge? He is a good guy. Then why your grandpa hate him" Yu bin asked.

"I don't know. Uncle always used to weep in lonely nights. I saw wet pillow and stain on his face.  But he never accept that he cried alone. " Mianmian said.

'It will help Cheng ge for case study' yu bin thought and he note down it in one of his diary. Which is scattered around With other book and notebooks they studying.

"Give me your bowl. I am going to wash it. " Mianmian said.

Yu bin passes his bowl to mianmian. She left the place and yu bin called cheng for share new information he got now. Cheng listen it and think that mianmian is open up with yu bin more than him and jin ling. So he thinks that he can get more information about yibo and his life, his relations and his past from mianmian. Cheng told yu bin to ask mianmian about her mother and her grandpa's relation.

Yu bin assured him he cut thr call when mianmian return from kitchen.

"Feeling better? " Asked yu bin.

"Yeahh" Mianmian pressed lips in thin line.

" Hey you didn't tell me about your mother and father. Where are they? " Yu bin asked mianmian.

"Ohh, they live in coastal areas. I heard they have fishery business. I was toddler when they send me to my maternal house. Mommy used to call me when i was little. My father came to me and yanked me from grandma. She refuse to let me go. After that mommy never call me. And father also never call me. Never came to meet me. Leter that granny fall sick and she also left us three years ago. Uncle used to cook for us and do all household work. But grandpa always badmouthing him. He was appose to send us in city. But i insist him for my studies. So he send us here. " Mianmian said with a low voice. She was a tough girl. Never show here soft side to anyone. Like yibo, she also rarely open her heart for someone. But yu bin's sincere nature gain her trust. Yu bin smile at her. She smile back.

Cheng was monitoring jin ling while he was doing project. Both are sitting in study room in jin mansion. Zhan give jin ling a project related to the business. He want to prepare him for upcoming responsibilities as soon as possible. Cheng was doing his work related to his case studies.

Jin ling is too busy. Cheng finish his work and smirk at jin ling. They rarely talked after mianmian left the mansion.

"Hey buddy, i think you are behaving like zhan ge lately. Sometimes i think i am dealing with zhan ge's younger version. " Cheng huffed.

Jin ling look at his uncle while stretching himself. He spent all day in working with this project. It's almost done. His uncle will impress in no time. Jin ling was satisfied with his work.

"Yeah, i think i need to work hard, like uncle to handle jin empire. " Jin ling agrees with Cheng.

"Why this change? You are too young. Zhan ge have to think about it. " Cheng mumble himself.

"Uncle didn't force me, i request him to taught about business. " Jin ling said.

Cheng astonishing his nephew. He is behaving like grown up man already.

"And why you need to learn business in age of fifteen. " Cheng asks curiously.

Jin ling smile but it didn't reach at his eyes. "I have to grow up. For mianmian. When i become successful like uncle. I will approach her. " Jin ling said.

Cheng look at him with mouth agape.
" I thought you will chase her like before. To fall her for you again. " Cheng teases him.

"I thought the same, but ziyi aunt told me that if i sincerely love her then i have to work hard for her. I have to be a best person for her. " Jin ling said.

Cheng wants to argue more but. He look into jin ling's eyes. It's fill with pure love and determine. Cheng node his head to give agreement.
