In the Villa Lin Xi was looking around with the help of Maids, meanwhile in the Living room Lin Yun was playing with BuFu and Bu Zhe when Zhang Li walked in following by a young man around early 20's. Lin Yun placed Bu Fu back on the floor before sitting back on to the sofa as she guestered Zi Han to take the seat across her. Zi Han placed a folder bag on to the table before taking the seat across her. Zou Ling who walked over with two cups of tea placed them on the tablein between them.

Raising her cup Lin Yun took the sip followed by Zi Han, placing the cup back on the table Zi Han addressed Lin Yun asking:

"Can I know why you want to transfer at the last moment, if I remember correctly you only have two more tests remaining"

"You should have already know about uncle Gong and because of it I became the one family target. My father asked me to move back until the things settle down"

Lin Yun said as she already made up her mind what to say to others, Zi Han knowing that Lin Yun aas lying he nodded before reaching out to the papers on the table. Zi Han placed the papers I front of Lin Yun saying

"Please sign these papers, just hand them over to the school you are about to join"

"Understood"

Lin Yun said as she reached out to tha papers before glancing at them, Lin Yun nodded in approval before signing her name on the bottom of the papers. Lin Xi who was looking around bumped in to Hai Peng who was cooking some snacks for the Servants, looking up Lin Xi's eyes sparkled with stars as she approached him. Hai Peng who just turned around was startled to the point of dropping plates, coming back to his senses he took a step forward demanding

"Who are you didn't you know the rules that others are not allowed to enter while I was cooking"

"Hmm"

Lin Xi paying no mind to Hai Peng's small talk she assessed him from top to bottom when the servant beside explained

"Hey, little Peng she is Ms. Lin's sister Lin Xi"

"Hello since your are Ms. Lin's sister I will forgive you this once you can go out now"

Hai Peng said as he waved his hand before turning around, Lin Xi coming back to her senses turned to the servant beside her asking

"What's his relationship with my sister, he is not her son right"

The servant dumbfounded hurriedly waved her hands èxplaining

"No, miss.Lin gave him a job. A month ago....."

The servant explained everything how Lin Yun met Hai Peng and how Lin Yun took care of Hai Peng's father medical bills along with the conditions she proposed to secure Hai Peng's future. Lin Xi look at Hai Peng before turning around as shewalled straight to the living area were Lin Yun and other's were chatting. As Lin Xi entered Zi Han stood up amd took his leave since he have to go back to driving school, as Zhang Li walked him out Lin Xi sat beside Lin Yun asking

"What exactly do you do?"

"Why do you care?"

Lin Yun shot back with a playful banter, Lin Xi glared back at Lin Yun retorting

"Of course, I am curious and want to know more about it"

"Puff, okay I invest in share market"

Lin Yun said casually as if she just gone to market, not giving Lin Xi a chance to speak Lin Yun stood up saying

"I had a surprise for you, follow me"

Lin Xi momentarily placed her doubts aside and followed Lin Yun, upstairs in Lin Yun's bedroom both of them walked directly towards her vast wardrobe at the corner of the room lay two sets of exquisite steel box about 6 meters. Lin Yun caressed the exquisite box as she pressed her thumb on an digital lock adoring it. With a beep the door to the box wide opened as six pairs of hand made women clothing came into view, upon seeing it Lin Yun wore a satisfying smile as she look to the side only to see Lin Xi motionless her mouth agape. Lin Yun Feeling a sense of delight shook Lin Xi slightly asking

"Lin Xi are you alright, quickly look at the dresses I prepared for you amd let me know if you like it or not"

"Ahh"

Lin Xi coming back to her senses look at Lin Yun and then at the in front of her unable to contain her joy she jumped up with excitement she hugged Lin Yun tightly before openinthe second box only to realize that she can't open it. Pouting she look at Lin Yun who was watching her while crossing her hamds, Lin Yun shook her head in resignation as she stepped forward and placed her thumb finger on the finger print scanner. With a beep the large door to the box opened as another set of exclusive women garments came into view, Lin Xi eye's brightened as she asked which set do you want to have.

Lin Yun look at Lin Xi saying:

"You know I won't mind if you want both of them"

"Really, but still I want to share them With you. How about I have these six pairs and you have these six pairs of garments"

Lin Xi suggested as she meticulous arranged them as she separated every clothing that suits Lin Yun's skin tone amd temperament before keeping remaining to herself. Lin Yun also noticed it but didnot refused knowing it's unlikely Lin Xi would buzz. After leaving the room Lin Yun made a phone call to Yue Xi and other's inviting them to dinner at her place, after hanging up the call she called both Wang Xing Yue and Li Qiang simultaneously also with the motive of inviting them to the the dinner at her place. The purpose of this dinner is simple to gather and share a meal and also introduce Lin Xi to others since they were going to be classmates.

In the evening, In the living room Lin Yun, Lin Xi, Yue Xi, Gong Li, and ZiYi were sitting in the living room chatting and laughing. Thanks to the mutual habits between them they got close together, as Lin Xi like cats like Yue Xi, have an interest in computer science engineering like Gong Li and like same artist as ZiYi. Not long after Zhang Li walked in throught the main entrance followed by two young man seemingly dressed in branded attire. Everyone's gaze turned to them creating a awkward moment, Lin Yun stood up as she walked over to Wang Xing Yue's side as she greeted them

"You guys were here, let me introduce you guy's"

Saying that Lin Yun turned to the gathering introducing Wang Xing Yue and Li Qiang.

"This is Wang Xing Yue and this is Li Qiang my friend from the driving school"

Saying that she turned back to Wang Xing Yue and Li Qiang saying

"This is Yue Xi, Gong Zi, and ZiYi, she is my cousin Lin Xi."

"Hello everyone"

Wang Xing Yue said as he stepped forward, Yue Xi and others also stood up as they stepped forward, Lin Yun then added saying

"Yue Xi's father was a business, Gong Li was the daughter of Gong HuangLu the GM of crown security, Zi Yi was Zi Han's sister and I didn't think I should have say about Wang Xing Yue's background he was the only heir of Wang familyand Li Qiangthe young master of Li family"

"I know his, he was famous for second generation playboy"

Yue Xi said as she look at Li Qiang, Lin Yun's eye's sharpened as she smell a bit of gossip in Yue Xi's speech. Li Qiang scratched his cheek awkwardly as he waved his hand dismissively saying

"It's all just rumors, you shouldn't listen to them"

Lin Yun stepped in trying to ease the awkwardness saying

"Okay, since everyone was here let's talk while eating"

"Okay"

Since host of this dinner spoke everyone nodded in agreement as they followed Lin Yun to the dinning area, upon entering a large dining area came into view as the table was already filled with various delicacies. As the host Lin Yun naturally took the center seat followed by Yue Xi and other's, Lin Xi took the seat on right followed by Yue Xi, Gong Li and ZiYi on the other side Wang Xing Yue took the seat next to Lin Yun followed by Li Qiang. With out any delay servants servet every dish one after another, as the banquet commenced every one picked up their chopsticks and started eating.

Gong Li spoke up breaking the silence: "Lin Yun, my dad asked me to give this to you"

Saying that she pulled a small box from her pocket and passed it over, Lin Yun taking the box examined it before handing it over to Zhang Li when Gong Li voice came through

"He was afraid that long family will target you instead, the box contain emergency button if you press in Crown security will come over to your aid"

"Oh, thank uncle Gong on my behalf"

Lin Yun said as she was puzzled internally thinking 'Did he did it because he was guilty about what he said few days ago'. Gong Li nodded responded

"No problem".

"By the way Wang Xing Yue are you planning to stay in the dorm room of outside"

Lin Yun asked as Lin Xi and her both decided to stay outside, Wang Xing Yue looked up and responded after a brief pause

"My place was a bit far away from the university and it also mandatory to stay in the school until the military training, so I decided to stay in the dorm untilthen while hunting for the house"

"I see, how about I lend you one of my apartment. It was empty anyway"

Lin Yun spoke as she look at Zhang Li, Zhnag Li understanding Lin Yun's intentions stepped forward saying

"The whole top 5 floor were empty for anytime occupancy"

"What do you think"

Lin Yun asked as she diverted her attention to Wang Xing Yue, after a momentary pause Wang Xing Yue spoke up saying

"How about I consult my father first before giving you my answer"

"No problem, I sure it will be the perfect for you since it was near the school and will be the good option for you stay. By the way senior Li how did you get your nameas a rich second generation playboy"

Lin Yun asked as she diverted the topic as she look at Li Qiang with a interest, Li Qiang feeling embarrassed explained

"While I was in my freshman year no one know me as a second generation rich Kid, while I joined the university my family put me under the strict rule not to reveal my identity. So, I complied in just 2-3 months I started dating this girl named Zhang Zhe we started off pretty good but as the days passed she started to distance herself and always stick to her phone. I didn't think much about at first but few day's later I attended the Lu family heads 58 th birthday banquet their I met her she was with the young master of Lu family. I didn't make scene about it and walked out, and the next thing I do was break up with her. As the time passed I diverted all my attention on studies while expanding my social circle, one day while I was attending the inner circle gathering I met her again who tagged along Young master Lu. It was also the day my identity exposed I though it was the end and we won't meet again, but I under estimated her shameleesness next day every one in the university started giving me those weird looks later I found out and something in me snapped. I hired someone from the Hua Xia intelligence and sent everything to Lu Sang, i also filed a complaint to the student union along with the solid evidence. All I know next day was Lu sang broke up with her as he can't go against Li family and she was dismissing and was under disciplinary action. The student council also issued an statement but no one took it seriously and started giving me names like playboy, and others. I don't care since the people who were close to me trusted me and supported me that's it"

Li Qiang said as he his mood noticeably diminished, Lin Yun look at Li Qiang in a new light as Yue Xi and others exchanged knowing glances. Lin Xi seeing that the environment was getting solemn diverted the topic asking

"If you're from the Li family what's your relationship with Li Ning"

"You know my Big brother?"

Li Qiang asked his focus diverted successfully, Lin Xi look at Lin Xi saying

"Brother Lin Jihuang and Li Ning were from the same battalion, and our Lin family and Li families have a good relationship thanks to father and the current patriarch of Li family being the college classmates"

"I see, seems like we are destined to meet"

Lin Yun said as she nodded in realization, Li Qiang remembering his brother talking about Lin Family his eye's widened in realization as he look at Lin Xi and then at Lin Yun asking

"So, you are from Lin family"

"Yes, kind off"

Lin Yun nodded in affirmation with out hiding anything, Yue Xi who already knew about Lin Yi and his relationship with Lin Yun didn't have much reaction but Gong Li and ZiYi wore a surprised looks. As they well aware about the Lin family even though Lin family was showing a hint of decline it was still far from bankruptcy, not to mention Long family under tactics in the current condition Long family was destined to go down due to the opposition from two large companies like Penguin and Sicong groups.

Wang Xing Yue who was sitting beside Lin Yun raised his eye brow as a hint of uncertainty rose in his heat. After the dinner Lin Yun and others gathered I the living room as they chatted away, While they were chatting Zhnag Li approached Lin Yun and wispered something In Lin Yun's ear. Lin Yun's eye's widened as she stood up amd excused herself saying

"You guy's continue I will be back in a moment "

Everyone exchanged glances as Yue Xi spoke

"Sure no problem"

As the Lin Yun's back faded Li Qiang addressed Lin Xi asking

"What's Lin Yun's status in Lin family?"

Lin Xi took a deep breath as she spoke

"Please promise me you guy's will not ask Lin Yun about it"

As the words fell everyone one excha ged glances once again before nodding in agreement, Lin Xi look at their earnest expression continued as the Servants near by perked their ears

"Actually Lin Yun became the member of Lin family only recently...."

Lin Xi recounted everything about Lin Yun and her relationship with Lin family. Nearly ten minutes later the room was so quiet that everyone forget to breath except for Yue Xi and Lin Xi, Ziyi first to react asked

"If so why did she cut ties with her adopted parents

Bringing everyone back to reality, as everyone look at Lin Xi waiting for her explanation. Lin Xi shook her head in resignation responding

"I don't know why exactly, but as per what doctor said this morning she had an abuse marks all over her body I guess it's because she had enough with them since kid"

The room once again fell into silence this time even Yue Xi was taken a back their eye's filled with shock, pity, and anger. Wang Xing Yue heart tightened as his eyes filled with extreme anger and determination.

As they were talking Lin Yun who went up stairs look at the documents in front of her she, raising her head Lin Yun look at Zhang Li and Sun Jang who were standing their respectfully commanding

"Place everything in your hand aside and buy all the remaining shares from the Balenciaga at the low price, I think this evidence was enough to keep them in jail for the life time"

"Understood"

"You guys can go on with your business, I will take care of the remaining things"

Saying that Lin Yun stood up and reached the door about to leave when Zhang Li called out for her saying

"Mam, the thing you asked me to Investigate regarding if the baby in Ms. Wang's belly belongs to Mr. Lin, I found out that she had an affair with Mr. Lin's cousin when Mr. Lin was away for work"

"Semd it to him and watch the show"

Saying that she didn't give Zhang Li a chance to speak and left the room, down stairs Lin Xi and others were talking about Lin Yun when a voice came from the behind

"What are you guy's talking about?"

Instinctively everyone turned around seeing it was Lin Yun everyone look at Lin Xi
