Sorry, I just found out that I missed a chapter yesterday. Now I'm attending the annual meeting and time is a bit tight, after two days I will definitely make up for it.

  Everyone looked at each other in dismay, thinking that Wei Luo's words made a lot of sense. If wealth and poverty were predetermined by heaven, then no matter how hard the two children tried, it would be useless. And if they weren't predetermined by heaven, what right did they have to get angry?

  Wei Luo saw that everyone had fallen silent, and she slightly raised the corner of her mouth. She pulled Su's hand and bowed to the crowd, saying in a clear voice: "Governor Bo is a man who does great things, he must have his own plans, and he won't blame our two children for their mistakes. Everyone, let's withdraw."

  Wei Luo finished speaking and slowly backed away with a look of admiration on her face.

  One step, two steps, three steps!

  Suddenly, a series of crisp applause erupted, and amidst the applause, a tall and majestic figure slowly walked to the entrance, blocking out the sunlight from outside. "Good! Very good! A simple sentence that effortlessly resolved the difficulty on the spot."

  A magnetic, thick and familiar male voice rang out. In an instant, the crowd retreated to both sides with a rustling sound, calling out in unison: "We've seen the young master!"

  Wei Luo also clasped her hands together, lowering her eyebrows and eyes as she called out: "I've seen the young master!" Her voice was very low, very low, hiding a tremble. Wei Luo was extremely afraid, fearing that if she wasn't careful, she would collapse on the spot!

  Jingling Gongzi walked slowly in front of her, lowered his head, and gently looked at her, asking: "Are you Wei Luo?"

  "Really." This bastard, even his memory is so good!

  Jingling Gongzi nodded slightly and smiled faintly. His eyes, as black as the night sky, stared steadily at her, "Lift your head up!"

  His voice had just fallen when he was surprised to utter a soft "hmm", and with this soft hmm, the crowd of diners looked at Wei Luo seriously.

  Su Ye turned his head to look at Wei Luo, and as he did, his eyes widened in surprise.

  Only to see Wei Luo's face turn pale, the hands placed on her legs were trembling constantly, and she was shaking all over, apparently unable to stand steadily - she was actually scared to death!

  No one would have expected this outcome! Just now she was talking eloquently in front of so many people, and even refuted Lord Bao's words, leaving him speechless. How could she become like this the moment she saw Young Master?

  The eyes of the Duke of Jingling flashed with a hint of disappointment, and he laughed softly, "I don't eat people, why go to such extremes?"

  Wei Luo hung her head, letting the sweat on her forehead trickle down her eyebrows, eyelids and into her eyes, which stung unbearably from the salt. She remained still, her head bowed in silence. But after hearing Jinling Gongzi's words, she secretly sneered to herself, "You may not eat humans, but you can kill them! You can take a life without batting an eye!"

  Jingling Gongzi saw her slender figure standing there, swaying back and forth as if she would fall to the ground at any moment. He couldn't help but let out a disinterested sigh and waved his hand, saying: "Get out for now."

  "Agreed."

  "No, no."

  Wei Luo and Su responded in unison, Su reached out and grabbed her arm, pulling her back quickly.

  The two of them walked very quickly, Wei Luo's legs were a bit weak and she stumbled as she walked. It wasn't until they had walked for a long time that Su finally let out a long sigh.

  He smiled first, then frowned and sighed, "Wei Luo, luckily there was you just now!" He clenched his fists tightly, saying word by word: "I will make them know one day, I must make them know!"

  At this time, Su had fallen into his own emotions, where he sometimes gritted his teeth and sometimes sighed softly.

  It wasn't long before he suddenly turned around and said, "Wei Luo, you really missed an opportunity just now. The young master of Jingling had actually taken a liking to your abilities, but unfortunately, you were too afraid of him and disappointed him!"

  He sighed again as he spoke up to this point.

  Among the long sighs, Su Jian had been silent all along, and now he turned his head to look at her. As soon as he turned around, his eyes widened in surprise.

  Staring with wide eyes and an open mouth at Wei Luo, she stuttered: "Y-you, how can you be so calm?"

  Only Wei Luo's face was calm, although her eyebrows were lowered and her eyes were cast down, but her complexion was normal, and she walked with ease, without a hint of fear.

  Wei Luo saw him staring at her and stopped in his tracks, giving him a sideways glance. "I had something to do earlier, but now I don't have anything to do."

  "Really?"

  Wei Luo ignored him.

  Su walked for several steps in a daze before suddenly exclaiming: "But you've changed so much!"

  Weiluo didn't respond, shaking his head and sighing repeatedly. "Weiluo, you really missed the opportunity! Ah, to be valued by the Duke of Jingling, in the blink of an eye he would become a dragon among men, even if it were someone like Bao Gong, they wouldn't dare not treat him with courtesy. But you, how could you behave so abnormally just now?"

  All the way, Su Bian kept sighing and shaking her head, that sad and regretful look made Wei Luo feel a bit uncomfortable. Just now when she saw the Duke of Jingling, she was flustered and fearful. But it wasn't to the point where she couldn't even stand steadily or lift her head.

  She doesn't dare enjoy the favor of the Duke of Jingling!

  Every gust of wind brought a chilling coldness. Wei Luo shrank his shoulders and said in a low voice, "Let's hurry up."

  She called out twice but got no response, her voice rising, "Let's hurry up."

  "Ah? Yes, yes."

  Su was gazing up at the sky, his fists clenched in a teeth-gnashing pose. He muttered something incoherent, then turned to look at Wei Luo, his bright eyes staring intently at her for a moment before he hesitantly asked: "Can wealth and glory really be achieved through hard work?"

  "Yes."

  "Is wealth and poverty predetermined by heaven?"

  Wei Luo heard his unease, his heart racing, his tension. She smiled slightly, and her smile was filled with warmth. She looked at Su, her eyes like water, her voice low and gentle. "Who is Yi Yin? When he was a slave, who could have thought that he would one day become a prime minister? Su, perhaps you are another Yi Yin!"

  Maybe I will be another Yi Yin!

  Right! Maybe I'll be another Yi Yin!

  Yes, nowadays people talk about Yiyin, saying that he was born extraordinary, and the heavens bestowed hardships upon him to make him successful! However, back when he was still a slave, struggling and climbing up, the mocking words from others were definitely more hurtful than what they say about themselves now.

  Perhaps, I am also a person born with a heavenly mandate and nurtured by the heavens to withstand hardships! Suddenly, all the gloom seems to have vanished, all difficulties seem to be no more!

  Wei Luo saw the ease and determination that came from Su You's bones at a glance, and couldn't help but smile slightly, lowering her head.

  She lowered her head and didn't notice Su turning back to look at her with eyes shining so brightly.

  Actually, if Weilo II were willing to share her experiences as a person, there would be many things she could teach Su that would allow him to easily achieve his goals. However, Weilo didn't dare show off and didn't want to draw attention to herself; in fact, she was unwilling to let anyone discover that she had anything special or noteworthy about her.
