”I didn’t expect Miss Si to actually believe what’s on the internet and not even give you a chance to explain.”

”It’s our relationship issue, it’s got nothing to do with you. Their family never looked up to me anyway. After all, I’m not Uncle’s biological son, not a bonafide young master of the Jiang Family.”

”Don’t say that, there are still many people who like you.” Yiyi spoke with a hint of coyness, ”I heard Young Master Qi hit you last night?”

”Don’t mention him.”

”Actually, you could explain things properly to Miss Si. She’s definitely not the kind of unreasonable person.”

”There’s nothing to say.”

”It’s all my fault, I’ll go explain to her.”

”It’s not related to you, there’s nothing between us. It’s her being too suspicious. If I had known, I wouldn’t have gotten involved.”

...

Yiyi hung up the phone, feeling smug, while her phone vibrated, receiving a text message:

[At two in the afternoon, Si Qingxiao will be at Peach Garden.] It also included the address.

Since it all started because of her, she naturally had to go ”explain” to Si Qingxiao...

She was simply curious. Given what happened, how could Si Qingxiao still have the mood to go to Peach Garden for an opera?

Not many young people enjoy opera. While changing her clothes and dressing up, Yiyi pondered:

This Miss Si really can put on a show.

She originally thought she could smoothly meet Si Qingxiao, but unexpectedly, she was stopped at the entrance of Peach Garden.

”I’m here to watch the opera.” Yiyi was still wearing a cheongsam today, her makeup exquisite, smiling elegantly at the two people at the entrance.

”You need a ticket to enter.”

”Then why don’t I go buy a ticket?”

”Tickets are already sold out. If you want to watch the opera, you should buy in advance.” The person at the entrance spoke confidently, barely even glancing at her.

This infuriated Yiyi, feeling outraged at just a mere opera garden, especially since these two were merely doorkeepers, where did they get such fanfare.

Though annoyed, Yiyi still smiled, saying, ”Can’t you make an exception? Can’t I go in and pay for a ticket after? I can pay double.”

”Sorry.” The two replied firmly.

Yiyi was already speaking humbly, yet the two showed no leniency. As she became furious with indignation, a car pulled up outside, and one of them immediately went over with a smile to welcome the person and to help him park.

”Boss Yun, you’re here.” The other also greeted obsequiously.

Yiyi scrutinized the person...

Dressed simply in black pants and a white shirt, his features even more refined than a woman’s, and such a person is considered a boss?

Driving such a cheap car, what’s worth such flattery and favor from these two?

Yiyi had been in Beijing for some time, and though not knowing every famous figure, she was familiar with them, yet she’d never seen this person.

”So the guests at this garden are of such a caliber?”

Yun Hezhi, who was about to enter, stopped and glanced back at her.

He wasn’t the one to fuss, but the woman’s swagger carried a dismissive attitude towards Beijing Opera.

He faintly commented:

”Your outfit is nice.”

Yiyi scoffed; her clothes worth tens of thousands, could they be of low caliber? She hadn’t expected him to appreciate it.

But his next words utterly displeased Yiyi.

”But wearing it on you, drops its class by more than one level.”

”...”

”Even if our garden isn’t of high class, not just anyone can enter.” Yun Hezhi spoke with perfect diction, intentionally slowing as if afraid she wouldn’t catch every word.

Yiyi instinctively wanted to reason with him, but was stopped by the people at the gate, ”Miss, please have some respect.”

”I...” Yiyi was infuriated, ”Let me through, you’re just a doorkeeper, get out of my way.”

Yun Hezhi, however, quirked a smile: ”The difference between humans and animals isn’t in this outer attire. Those who can’t hold their tongues, can’t even compare to gatekeeping dogs.”

Finishing, he left without any delay.

Yiyi was enraged, wasn’t he just mocking that she’s worse than a dog?

The doorkeeper raised an eyebrow:

If it came to talking back, this Boss Yun had never lost.

Even their Sixth Master had been put down by him, let alone the person here, picking on Boss Yun, of all people.

Yet his opera talent was real, with such skills, naturally he’d stand tall in speech and action.

”Get out of my way.” Yiyi didn’t expect such a poor start, being fought against by irrelevant people.

”Miss, if you try to force your way, don’t blame me for being impolite.”

”What, you’re going to hit me?”
