Chapter 105 The Adorable Baby Unleashes His Power! Even the Old Man Can't Stand It!
That faint, ethereal aura, like the weakest electric current, traveled along Jiang Wu's fingertips and into her meridians.
Although extremely thin and almost negligible, it was like seeing a ray of dawn in the darkness for Jiang Wu, a cultivator.
Her heart began to pound uncontrollably.
She looked at the plain-looking, emerald-green jade bracelet on her wrist, her eyes filled with shock and bewilderment.
What exactly happened?
The Qin family is just an ordinary military family. How could they have something that has been tainted by immortal energy?
Could it be that the Qin family's ancestors also included cultivators?
Or perhaps this bracelet has another origin?
Countless questions swirled in Jiang Wu's mind.
"What's wrong, Xiaowu? Don't you like this style?" Zhong Tinglan saw that she hadn't spoken for a while and assumed that she was dissatisfied.
"No, no." Jiang Wu came to her senses and quickly concealed her emotions. "Mom, I like it very much. It's just... too expensive."
"No matter how valuable it is, it can't compare to your preciousness." Zhong Tinglan smiled and patted her hand. "Wear it, consider it a gift from your mother."
Jiang Wu did not refuse again.
She knew that the value of this bracelet far exceeded the scope of money.
The secrets hidden behind it are perhaps much bigger than she imagined.
After that unpleasant welcome banquet, Jiang Wu's days at the Qin family unexpectedly became much better.
With Zhong Tinglan as her staunch protector, Song Liyun and her relatives no longer dared to speak ill of her in front of her.
Although behind the scenes, there was still no shortage of jealousy and criticism.
But at least on the surface, everyone treated her with great courtesy, calling her "sister-in-law" more affectionately than anyone else.
What truly brought about a dramatic change in Jiang Wu's status within the Qin family were her two "trump card" level treasures.
Qin Zhan and Qin Zhao.
The two little ones, because they have been nourished with spiritual spring water since they were young, have a physical constitution that is hundreds of times better than that of ordinary children.
After her confinement period, she grew even more beautiful and delicate, with a lovely and adorable appearance.
Especially her eyes, big and bright like black grapes, full of spirit.
She doesn't cry or make a fuss, and smiles at everyone she sees.
They are practically two humanoid weapons of mass destruction.
They quickly won over the hearts of everyone in the Qin family.
Even Song Liyun, who was initially indifferent to them, couldn't help but feel a surge of maternal love when she saw the two children's smiles that could melt anyone's heart, and she held them in her arms every day.
The process of conquering the most difficult "big boss" in the family—Qin Weijun—was even more dramatic.
Ever since that day when Jiang Wu publicly contradicted him and his wife berated him, Qin Weijun had been wearing a long face.
He still sits in the courtyard every day without fail, reading the newspaper and drinking tea.
He ignored the stroller in the yard that Jiang Wu used to sunbathe.
But the housekeeper noticed that the old man had been spending more and more time reading the newspaper lately.
Moreover, he often held his newspaper upside down.
He would say he complained about the children being noisy, but whenever he couldn't hear their voices, he would cough twice and ask, "Where's the child?"
That afternoon.
The weather is fine.
Jiang Wu pushed the stroller and rested in the shade under the grape trellis in the yard.
Qin Weijun was still sitting in his usual spot not far away, "concentrating intently" on a copy of the People's Daily.
Inside the stroller, Qin Zhao, who was almost four months old, was holding onto the edge of the stroller and trying hard to sit up.
She turned her little head, her big, dark eyes curiously observing the world.
Suddenly, her gaze fell on the grandfather who was "reading the newspaper".
She stared at that serious, wrinkled face for a long time.
Then, she grinned, revealing her toothless little mouth, and giggled.
The laughter was as clear and crisp as a silver bell.
She stretched out her two chubby little arms, which were like lotus roots, and waved them vigorously in Qin Weijun's direction.
It also made incomprehensible "ah...ah..." sounds.
Qin Weijun's hand holding the newspaper trembled almost imperceptibly.
He felt as if his heart had been gently scratched by a furry little paw.
It's both itchy and numb.
He casually glanced up from above the newspaper at his granddaughter, who was grinning foolishly at him.
In the sunlight, the little girl's skin was as white as snow, and her eyes shone like stars.
That smile was so pure and without a trace of impurity.
Qin Weijun's mind was in complete turmoil.
He felt his hardened heart, which hadn't been breached by artillery shells on the battlefield, melt easily at this moment because of this little girl's smile.
He cleared his throat and slowly, feigning composure, put down the newspaper in his hand.
Then, he stood up and walked with the steady, general's steps to the stroller.
He looked at his granddaughter, who was still grinning foolishly at him, his face still bearing that serious expression.
But his eyes betrayed him.
Inside, there was something he had never experienced before, something called "gentleness".
He hesitated for a moment.
Then, he reached out his large hands, which had once commanded thousands of troops, and with an extremely clumsy yet careful gesture, picked up the soft little person from the stroller.
"Grandpa...hug me..."
Qin Zhao was even happier when he was picked up.
She reached out her little hand, grabbed a medal from Qin Weijun's chest, and stuffed it into her mouth.
Qin Weijun was not annoyed.
He simply rubbed his rough cheeks gently against his granddaughter's smooth little face.
Her face, full of wrinkles, was all smiles, making her look like a chrysanthemum.
Qin Zhan, who was standing to the side, was unhappy when he saw his younger sister being picked up.
He was also in the stroller, waving his arms and legs and making "ah ah" noises.
It's as if it's saying: I'm not alone! I'm not alone!
"Hahaha, good, good, we have them all!"
For the first time in his life, Qin Weijun laughed so heartily.
He handed Qin Zhao to the guard next to him, and then bent down to pick up Qin Zhan as well.
A grandson in his left hand and a granddaughter in his right.
This once-powerful general now looks like an ordinary, happy grandfather.
He carried his two children and walked around the yard in circles.
He was humming an off-key military song.
The scene was harmonious and heartwarming.
Jiang Wu stood aside, watching this scene, a knowing smile on her face.
She knew that she had achieved a decisive victory in this "landing battle" against the Qin family.
Just then.
The courtyard gate was hurriedly pushed open.
A young guard in military uniform ran up to Qin Weijun and saluted.
His face looked very anxious.
"Reporting, sir! There's an emergency!"
Qin Weijun's smile vanished instantly.
He transformed back into the dignified general.
"What's wrong? Why are you in such a panic!"
"It's...it's a message from the Capital Military Region's Operations Department." The guard lowered his voice, but still couldn't hide the tension in his tone.
"Just received intelligence that the Lu family... the Lu family seems to be making a move!"
"Moreover, their target seems to be... the newly appointed Deputy Division Commander Qin!"
