eal-looking long sword.Everyone had left. Shen Qingrui sat facing me, her back to me, hands clasped in a seal before the menacing tree. The ominous aura emanating from the tree seemed to burst forth l...My brother, you startled me with that remark out of the blue.
My mom suddenly appeared This is huge news.
"Wherever she shows up, it's no surprise. She's always running all over the place. The most surprising thing is that she suddenly came home, isn't it" I said with a sneer.
"Little junior sister, I know you're harboring resentment, but Mistress is still Mistress, and mother is still mother. You can't just ignore them out of anger and deliberately avoid them." My senior brother looked at me earnestly.
I lowered my eyes slightly: “Oh… it’s easy to say that, she hasn’t fulfilled her responsibilities as a mother, but the monthly allowance the family gives her has never been interrupted. I’ve thought about living such a carefree life too, hmph.”
“Alright…” Jun Shidi rubbed my head: “I told you this, not to make you upset, but for you to pay attention. The circle in Hong Kong and Macau is very small, extremely small. It's easy to run into people there, you might even meet her.”
"What kind of circle is this My mom's a doctor too"
"Well, it's rare, but she's still the elder of our family. It's normal for her to move around in circles using Lady Yin's name. Look, if you meet her, just persuade your mother-in-law to come home."
"No, don't." I quickly shook my head. "I'm used to life without a mother. Please don't suddenly bring one into my life; I don't know how to deal with it."
Jun Shixiong was stunned: "Nonsense."
Let's just say that, frankly, I have some reservations about meeting her.
It's best not to get involved. I don't want to know what's going on between her and my father. Let their elders sort it out themselves. I don't want to meddle.
"My mother-in-law advised me, saying that I was too overprotective of you. This is not good for your growth and you should be allowed to grow up and handle things on your own. Otherwise, there will always be times when we can't protect you. At that time, if you are not strong enough, you will be the one who suffers in the end..."
"Senior brother, you care more than my father..." I mumbled softly.
Fifth Senior Sister sat beside him, and when Junior Brother spoke, he didn't avoid her. He smiled and said, "Who says you're the youngest Just for these three words, your senior brothers and sisters have to fight hard to protect you. Look, have we ever complained about taking care of you"
"Hee hee... Who told our little junior sister to be so adorable since she was a child A little dumpling, bouncing and skipping behind us. She's mischievous, has a sweet mouth, and now that I think about it, my heart is melting." The fifth senior sister covered her face with both hands and laughed.
"You're not much older than me..."
But we all remember, don't we We remember everything you did when you were little.
Fifth Sister laughed with a kind of open-mindedness: "But now you're grown up, and you'll fly even higher. But in our hearts, you'll always be that pink and tender little dumpling."
My heart was touched, but I kept a brave face.
"Here's the car key I bought for you," said the senior brother, handing him a set. "It'll be more convenient for you to get around... Remember to report where you're going before you leave, so we don't worry."
"Are you willing to buy me a car" I took the key and looked at Jun Senior Brother.
"As for Yue's junior sister and you, I don't mind parting ways... But I won't buy you anything too good. Anything too eye-catching will attract those with ill intentions. Just something safe and usable is fine."
"Got it~ "
My senior brother might say that, but he actually gave me and my senior sister the best things.
It's pretty exciting to receive a gift, but it's a pity that Mu Wanchen isn't here right now. Otherwise, I would take him out for a drive.
Our garage was packed with cars. Dozens of vehicles filled the vast space, and Junior's supercar was particularly eye-catching. However, he rarely drove it – as the head disciple, he spent most of his time at home or at the pharmacy.
He bought me a new SUV, probably considering Mu Wanchen's comfort during rides. This SUV is pretty big for me, but the space inside... is average, I don't feel like it's very spacious.
There was another SUV parked next to this one, identical in every way but a different color. No explanation needed, it must be for my sister.
Mine is red, my sister's is white.
From a young age, I always bought things in pairs, especially my brother Jun. He never favored one thing over another materially.
I was thinking about going to Hong Kong and Macau soon, so I drove to school to ask my homeroom teacher for a few days off. When I came back, there was a new homeroom teacher.
"Yin Luo, you got a new car!" A female classmate saw me enter the parking lot and immediately gossiped loudly when she returned to the classroom.
Although it's not uncommon for students to own cars in college, most of my classmates are from out of town and don't see the need to buy one. As a "local," I often become a symbol of wealth.
“My original car broke down, so I’m driving my family's.” I explained.
"Wow, a Range Rover! How many cars do you have This one must cost over a million dollars Are your family that wealthy"
Less than a million That's not even enough for one tire of my senior brother.
"Let's not talk about that anymore, who is our new homeroom teacher now" I changed the subject.
"He seems to be a new recruit, an old scholar named Wang, transferred from the neighboring academy. I think he's a young PhD in history... even at his age, his hair is already thinning..."
This bunch of gossips, I asked them for Teacher Wang's phone number. Standing in the hallway, I dialed. Soon a man's voice rang out in my ear: "Who is this"
"Teacher Wang, I am your student. There's something going on at home, and I would like to ask for a leave—"
" ...Which student are you I just took over and don't know everyone yet. Could you come to my office You can fill out a note excuse while you're here." His tone was somewhat serious.
Tsk, I hate encountering this kind of teacher the most, it's impossible to skip class.
I came to the office and quietly asked which one was Teacher Wang. The teacher on the door panel pointed to the desk by the window at the back.
The office was modern, but the desk was piled high with professional books, student files, and lesson plans.
A young man, under thirty with a side part and black-rimmed glasses, looked up from his computer and asked me, “What’s your name”
“…Yin Luo.”
"How long will you be taking leave for" he took out a leave application form.
"I don't know... maybe a week, maybe longer."
"What A week What are you going to do" He immediately frowned: "Students shouldn't skip classes all day, thinking about taking leave. Did your parents send you here just for food, drink and fun"
Good heavens, what a stuffy old young teacher!
"No, no, Teacher, please listen to me! I really have something urgent at home...I need to go, to seek my relatives across thousands of miles!" I blurted out.
He frowned deeply, waiting for my next words.
I made up a few things, saying that my mom wasn't feeling well and was receiving treatment in Hong Kong and Macau. I mentioned that our family would be going there soon and might be staying for quite some time.
He flipped through the student files, nodding. "Alright, Yin Luo... Fine, I'll take leave now. I'll visit your home later and see if what you said is true."
I rolled my eyes inwardly. Whatever. They're used to my siblings taking the blame for me anyway.
I turned in my leave request and didn't even want to go to class. I just snuck off to the parking lot, but unexpectedly ran into Tang Yufei.
She walked out from beside a car, arm in arm with a girl, looking very close. She saw me and suddenly flashed a mischievous grin. the photos."I am very curious about what was unearthed, but now that the jade mine has collapsed, the soil can bury too many secrets. Even if it is dug open again, all the people present at the time...
