Around Wan Xiaoxiao, the students' gazes gradually turned a bit strange.
Those gazes seemed to say, "Isn't he here to pick you up? Why aren't you reacting at all?"
Wan Xiaoxiao gave an awkward smile and stepped towards the luxury car.
Inside the car, Jiang Junyi looked at Wan Xiaoxiao, who was slowly approaching, through the window with a mischievous smile: "Little girl, you look very pleased with yourself. I must teach you a lesson."
"Knock, knock, knock."
The sound of knocking on the car window rang out, and Jiang Junyi slowly lowered the window, looking at Wan Xiaoxiao with a mischievous smile.
The moment Wan Xiaoxiao saw Jiang Junyi's expression, she knew this guy was up to no good again!
"Ahem, what's wrong with you?" Wan Xiaoxiao said this in a loud voice, clearly for the benefit of her classmates behind her.
After saying this, Wan Xiaoxiao quickly switched to a pitiful, pleading expression and lowered her voice: "Big Brother! Can you help me out?!"
Jiang Junyi said with a half-smile: "What did you call me?"
Wan Xiaoxiao's face changed repeatedly, and finally, she gritted her teeth and said: "Si…Brother-in-law…"
"You have to call me that from now on. If you agree, I'll let you show off," Jiang Junyi said with a chuckle.
Wan Xiaoxiao looked back and saw that her classmates' eyes were already tinged with suspicion.
She gave an awkward yet polite smile, then quickly looked at Jiang Junyi: "Brother-in-law, brother-in-law, good brother-in-law! I agree, I agree."
Jiang Junyi made a "gotcha" gesture, thinking, "You little brat, can't I handle you?"
"Uncle Wu, make it look good," Jiang Junyi snapped his fingers.
"Yes!"
Uncle Wu tidied his clothes, put on white gloves, and opened the car door.
Jiang Junyi also got out of the car and personally opened the car door for Wan Xiaoxiao. At this moment, Uncle Wu arrived, respectfully bowing and shielding Wan Xiaoxiao's head.
This display caused a stir among the students behind them.
All sorts of envious sounds pushed Wan Xiaoxiao's inner vanity to its fullest.
The luxury car slowly drove away, leaving behind the envious gazes of Wan Xiaoxiao's classmates.
In the crowd, a figure stared blankly at the departing luxury car.
It was Su Shuang; she had only arrived at school in the afternoon.
Compared to Wan Xiaoxiao's dazzling brilliance, she was like the wretched mud in the shadows…
Su Shuang lowered her head and left with the crowd.
Inside the car.
"Hehehe," Wan Xiaoxiao giggled. It was extremely satisfying for a child's vanity to be fulfilled.
"Satisfied now?" Jiang Junyi said lazily.
"Mm-hmm, mm-hmm, mm-hmm," Wan Xiaoxiao nodded like a pecking chick.
"Call me brother-in-law twice, let me hear it."
The smile on Wan Xiaoxiao's face instantly froze. After some struggle and squirming, she still reluctantly opened her mouth: "Brother-in-law…"
"Louder! Didn't you eat?!"
"Brother-in-law!" Wan Xiaoxiao shouted loudly, then sat in the back, holding her arms and huffing.
Wan Xiaoxiao was also someone who stuck to her word; if she said she would call, she would definitely call.
"Not bad, very spirited," Jiang Junyi smiled.
"Hmph."
Wan Xiaoxiao snorted lightly and stopped paying attention to Jiang Junyi.
Actually, what Wan Xiaoxiao truly cared about wasn't being picked up and dropped off in a luxury car, but having someone to pick her up and drop her off for school.
That was the key.
In the past, she always went to and from school by herself, and when classmates asked where her parents were, she would always stammer and not answer.
But now it was different; Jiang Junyi started picking her up and dropping her off, making her feel that she had family who cared about her.
Certainly, Wan Qingyun also cared a lot about her younger sister, but at times like this, Wan Qingyun simply couldn't do it.
This was something she couldn't accomplish.
As soon as she got home, Wan Xiaoxiao ran off to Wan Qingyun, first absorbing a wave of sisterly energy, then watching TV.
Jiang Junyi, meanwhile, went to the kitchen to prepare dinner.
At the dinner table, Wan Xiaoxiao and Wan Qingyun both ate the dishes made by Jiang Junyi with enjoyment.
Of course, the feeding session was indispensable.
At this moment, Wan Xiaoxiao, while eating, casually said: "There's a parent-teacher conference on Friday in two days. Brother-in-law, can you go for me?"
Wan Qingyun looked at Wan Xiaoxiao with some surprise, wondering how she had opened up in just two days.
She had originally thought Wan Xiaoxiao would need a long time to accept Jiang Junyi's presence.
"Parent-teacher conference? What's your academic level at school?" Jiang Junyi raised an eyebrow and asked.
"Uh… average," Wan Xiaoxiao hesitated.
"Really?" Jiang Junyi didn't believe her.
Given her previous demeanor, could she really be average?
"Really!" Wan Xiaoxiao swore.
"Alright, just tell me the specific time when it comes," Jiang Junyi said, feeding Wan Qingyun a bite of food.
"Then… can I have my phone that day?" Wan Xiaoxiao tentatively asked.
"No."
"Hmph! Stinky brother-in-law!" Wan Xiaoxiao snorted, put down her bowl and chopsticks, and ran back to her room to do her homework.
"Xiao Xiao is a bit too playful, sigh… I also don't know what her situation at school is really like," Wan Qingyun sighed, her voice tinged with loneliness.
Jiang Junyi took the opportunity to grasp Wan Qingyun's small hand and comforted her: "It's alright, she's just a child. Xiao Xiao's nature isn't bad, and her mind is, uh… sharp. I'll manage her with you from now on."
Wan Qingyun nodded, her heart filled with warmth.
After dinner, Jiang Junyi lingered with Wan Qingyun for a while longer before leaving.
Wan Qingyun felt a bit reluctant but was too embarrassed to ask Jiang Junyi to stay.
In the car.
Jiang Junyi dialed a number: "Auntie, I need you to tell Wang Hao this news… and then arrange…"
Hanging up the phone, he looked out at the silent night, his eyes cold and deep.
Sorry, Su Shuang.
A plan targeting Lin Xiu quietly unfolded…
Meanwhile, in Wan Qingyun's study, Capricorn appeared much later than usual.
Wan Qingyun tapped the table, her voice calm and firm: "What happened?"
Not appearing at the fixed time, in her opinion, meant there must be some problem.
"My Lord, you might need to see this document." Capricorn placed a file on Wan Qingyun's desk.
After reading it, Wan Qingyun's delicate brows furrowed slightly: "Su Shuang? Illegitimate daughter? Debt?"
"Yes."
Wan Qingyun tapped the table, and the "knock, knock, knock" echoed in the study.
After a long while, her cold words rang out: "Bring her into the Black Palace, make her completely devoted. She's useful."
A glint flashed in Capricorn's eyes beneath her mask: "Yes!"
The current Wan Qingyun already had a semblance of what a Lord should be.
And her way of thinking was coincidentally the same as Jiang Junyi's. This was the so-called "like attracts like."
After Capricorn disappeared, Wan Qingyun let out a light breath and sat quietly in her chair.
Only the black starlight of the pendant on her chest flowed, and waves of fluctuations emanated from around her body.
Wan Qingyun now realized that when Jiang Junyi was by her side, the flow of true qi within her body would speed up considerably.
Especially after kissing Jiang Junyi today, she felt as if her true qi was about to explode in that instant.
Now Wan Qingyun was refining and sorting out that massive amount of true qi.
After a long time, boom!
A roar came from within her body, her mind became clear, and surges of power poured into her body.
Wan Qingyun gently clenched her fist, feeling the immense power within her: "Is this Xiantian?"
At the same time.
"Pfft!"
Jiang Junyi sat on his toilet, exerting himself to release a large one.
He felt an unprecedented sense of relief.
"Knock, knock, knock."
The bathroom door knocked.
No?
"Uncle Wu, are you in a hurry?"
"No, Young Master, I think you might have had a breakthrough."
Jiang Junyi was slightly stunned and felt the true qi within his body.
What the heck? I can break through even while pooping?
Actually, Jiang Junyi had also felt it these past few days; while gaining pure love points, true qi was also pouring into his body.
Jiang Junyi stroked his chin, thinking, "Could my true qi be called Pure Love True Qi?"
"Also, Young Master, you didn't turn on the exhaust fan."
"Get out!"
