Lu Gui said with a warning, "We can go to the square for a while. Xiao Fang, we don't have any homework right now, so it's okay. Fan Fan, we have some friends playing in the square too. Let's go find them."

Although he didn't know why Lin Xiaofang was always targeting Fanfan, he had always lived by reading people's faces since he was a child. He knew that his father respected the Zhu family very much, and the Zhu family doted on Fanfan the most. In particular, Fanfan was practically raised by his father, and their relationship was extraordinary. If there was a conflict with Fanfan, his father would definitely abandon them, and he couldn't afford to gamble with that.

Lin Xiaofang looked at Zhu Fanfan with a wronged expression: "We have nowhere to go, but I can stay in the yard. We won't bother you."

Zhu Fanfan directly refused: "It would be a bother. I don't like having people I don't like in my house."

After saying that, she was about to close the door when Lin Xiaofang stuck her foot in the door. Zhu Fanfan originally wanted to close the door and run her foot over, but then she remembered that this was Uncle Lin's adopted daughter, so she stopped: "Lin Xiaofang, I'll say it again, I don't like you, don't show up in front of me, or I'll tell Uncle Lin."

After saying that, he pushed Lin Xiaofang aside, slammed the door shut, and locked it in one smooth motion. What bad luck, it ruined his good mood.

Lin Xiaofang, who was easily pushed away, also felt very wronged: "Brother, I just wanted to be friends with her, why is she so fierce?"

Lu Gui suddenly said fiercely, "This is her home. She has the right not to welcome people she doesn't like. Lin Xiaofang, I don't care what you're up to, but don't mess with Zhu Fanfan, or I'll be very rude to you."

Grandpa and Grandma Liu treated them very well, and Dad treated them very well too. They had no worries about food and clothing, and he didn't even need to do any work. He only needed to clean the house. Sometimes Dad would bring back food from the army, so he didn't have to cook.

He was content with his life and wouldn't let anyone disrupt it. He grew up being looked down upon, but he wasn't one to stand idly by. When he did strike, he was swift, accurate, and ruthless, aiming for a single, decisive blow. He was kind to Lin Xiaofang because they were both adopted and were like siblings, but if anyone tried to ruin his life, they would be his enemies.

Lin Xiaofang was a little afraid of Lü Gui, but she was unwilling to give up: "Dad said that Grandpa Zhu specially hired a very good teacher to teach Fanfan. What's wrong with us just sitting in on the class? Does Fanfan not want us to sit in on the class because she's afraid we'll be better than her and get the teacher's approval?"

Lu Gui sneered, "What Dad said is that Fanfan's talent has been recognized, and some very powerful people are specifically looking to take her as their disciple. It has nothing to do with Grandpa Zhu. If you have extraordinary talent, you will also be valued. Instead of trying to steal someone else's opportunity, you should work hard yourself. I'm warning you one last time. If you dare to approach Fanfan in private, I won't be polite to you."

Grandpa Zhu and Grandma Liu are both remarkable people, so their child is naturally remarkable too. What's wrong with finding a remarkable teacher? Lin Xiaofang also has a background in martial arts, but she pretends to be weak. He has been guiding her, trying to lead her onto the right path. Since she won't take that path, then she might as well give up her legs.

Lin Xiaofang was a little scared when she saw Lü Gui's gloomy expression. He looked like a venomous snake, staring at her and ready to bite at any moment.

When Zhu Fanfan returned to the second floor, she saw Elder Dan and Xi Yan whispering to each other, their voices very low, as if they were talking badly about someone.

Upon seeing Zhu Fanfan arrive, Elder Dan said, "That girl clearly had ill intentions. I thought you would invite them in! That boy is ruthless too."

Zhu Fanfan asked, puzzled, "Why invite people you don't like in?"

Elder Dan said earnestly, "Child, you are still young. Of course you can refuse things you don't like, but when you grow up and understand human relationships, you will have to greet people with a smile even if you hate them. Take advantage of your youth and do whatever you want!"

Zhu Fanfan was extremely disgusted: "You make it sound like I'm about to be buried. I, Zhu Fanfan, would never do anything against my own will, nor would I smile at people I dislike. I am Zhu Fanfan."

If Grandpa hadn't lacked ambition, he would never have remained just a commander. If Grandma had been ambitious, she would have replaced Great-Grandpa as the dean long ago, a position that wouldn't be low either. With these two powerful figures backing her, she wouldn't need to be hypocritical or insincere; she could simply be herself and be happy.

Even if her grandparents can no longer be her support in the future, she can still grow up and become her own support. She doesn't have a strong ambition for her career, and her future can't be threatened. She has more money than she can spend in her lifetime. If someone really targets her in every way, the things in her space alone are enough for her to live a life of comfort. She can go all out and fight them. She has nothing to lose and she doesn't believe anyone is afraid of her.

Elder Dan felt that Zhu Fanfan was still too young. She would know the cruelty of society when she grew up, especially since her grandfather was a high-ranking official. In the future, she would definitely be introduced into high society by Zhu Jiabao. How could she not flatter a high-ranking official?

Xi Yan brought the two back to reality: "That girl is not a good person."

Zhu Fanfan looked at Xi Yan with confusion: "Have you met Lin Xiaofang?"

Xi Yan shook his head, and Elder Dan explained, "Don't let this kid's quiet demeanor fool you; he's got sharp eyes! He can tell whether someone is a good person or not just by looking at them."

Zhu Fanfan's eyes sparkled: "Brother Xi Yan is so amazing! Do you think I'm a bad guy?"

This ability is great; it saves you the trouble of observing the other person's every move to determine whether they are trustworthy.

Xi Yan could only say, "You are a good person."

He wasn't that powerful; he could only sense whether the other person's soul was corrupted. A corrupted soul had bad intentions or had already done bad things, and it was surrounded by a gray halo.

Fanfan was surrounded by purple energy, his soul was pure, and there was a faint light of justice, somewhat similar to the golden light of merit, indicating that he was a trustworthy person.

Elder Dan scoffed, "Little girl, of course he said it was good in front of you."

Otherwise, why would there be the saying "talking badly about someone behind their back"? If you talk to their face, you'll have broken off the friendship long ago and never see them again. You can't just talk behind their back.

Xi Yan calmly replied, "I never lie."

Elder Dan also remembered Xi Yan's temper and said bluntly, "That's why he gets beaten the most."

He lacked flexibility and was beaten a lot before being brought back. Even after joining the Dragon Group, he remained stubborn and inflexible. It's unclear what the group leader saw in him, as he was given special attention and training.

Zhu Fanfan strongly supports Xi Yan: "I think Brother Xi Yan is a great guy."

Elder Dan remained silent. In any case, he felt that the people in the Dragon Group were all abnormal. He didn't bother to criticize anyone who was even slightly normal. As for Zhu Fanfan, what did a little kid know?

The temperature of the cauldron had dropped, and Zhu Fanfan personally took the top of the cauldron down. Upon seeing the pills inside, he exclaimed in surprise, "Grandpa Dan, look!"

Elder Dan came over out of courtesy, and was surprised when he saw it.
