Because Tu Du and Su Hao were both kept after school by the teacher, Yuan Zhuan was able to stroll alone on the school path, enjoying the sunshine. She hadn't had such a leisurely time in a long time.
only……
The footsteps behind her were very light. She walked, and the person behind her walked; she stopped, and the person behind her stopped too.
Yuan Zhuan suddenly turned around. Huang Jiaqian (the classmate Yuan Zhuan had saved) who couldn't dodge in time stood timidly by the flower bed, his hands tightly gripping the straps of his schoolbag. Half of his body was blocked by the evergreen plant. Clearly, he wanted to dodge, but it was too late.
"Excuse me, is there something you need?"
"Yuan Zhuan, I am Huang Jiaqian. I've been meaning to thank you for what happened last time, as well as your two friends." After saying this, Huang Jiaqian bowed deeply in a trembling voice to express his gratitude.
Yuan Zhuan was taken aback. What is it?
She quickly recalled someone from her past memories; after all, this was the second boy she had saved, so she had a recollection of him.
"You're welcome, Huang. It's only right for classmates to help each other. Is there anything else? If not, I'll be going now." Looking at the little boy who looked like a little white rabbit, Yuan Zhuan subconsciously lowered his tone and said with a smile.
"Here, take this." Huang Jiaqian bit her lip, stepped forward, stuffed something into Yuan Zhuan's hand, and then rushed out of the school gate.
Yuan Zhuan: ...
Watching the little boy flee in panic, Yuan Zhuan was momentarily stunned. After all, she had hardly ever spent time with her classmates, so she was a little dumbfounded by the sudden scene. It wasn't until her hand unconsciously squeezed the strange object in her palm that Yuan Zhuan looked down and saw a small ruyi with a translucent jade color lying in her palm, its surface covered with a thin layer of spiritual energy.
Spiritual energy!!!
Yuan Zhuan was shocked. He looked at the jade ruyi, then at the direction the young boy had left, and he was filled with excitement.
Things with spiritual energy are extremely rare in this world. At least since I transmigrated, this is the first time I've seen something with spiritual energy.
She knew she should return it to him, but... she couldn't bear to part with it. What should she do? After all, spiritual objects are rare.
This kid seems to be in poor health. Maybe we should give him something in exchange?
so……
The image of Huang Jiaqian taking medicine flashed through my mind; it was medicine for congenital heart disease.
She had noticed when she saved Huang Jiaqian last time that the child had a short lifespan and wouldn't live past eighteen. Only just now did she realize that the child didn't have congenital heart disease, but rather severe myocarditis causing abnormal heartbeats. It wasn't a fatal disease, but the family's neglect became the key to his death.
It was misdiagnosed...
And she took the wrong medicine; she'll have to take it for another six or seven years, ugh...
In the luxurious villa, Huang Jiaqian ate in silence as usual. His older brother, Huang Jiaao, was also silent, not even glancing at his younger brother. He was used to this indifference. After all, his brother's mother was the one their father loved, while his mother was the bad person who stole his brother's mother's place. That's why his brother couldn't grow up by their father's side. In the whole family, he was the only one who was superfluous.
My brother's mother has her own job and goes to work every day. She says she's not a clinging vine that relies on men. My father says that's what he admires most about her, unlike his own mother, who has no other abilities besides relying on men.
However, his maternal grandfather told him that 30% of the shares in his father's current company were left to him by his mother. When his mother and father started their business together, the initial capital came from his mother's dowry. His mother has always been in charge of the company's business department. Because his mother is very capable, she worked hard for a long time and with the help of his uncle, she built the Huang Group today. His mother did not rely on men.
He remained skeptical of his father's and grandfather's differing opinions, but he was certain that his mother had left him shares in the company. He had a bank card with a fixed monthly dividend, and the money was substantial, so he was very wealthy.
It's only been a year since Mom left. My aunt and brother came into the family and were both assigned to work at the company. Dad has mentioned to him several times that he wants to take his card away, but he doesn't agree. As a result, Dad's attitude towards him has become increasingly worse.
"Dad has something to tell you. He wants you to wait for him to come back before you go to sleep," the man across from you said, then got up and left.
Huang Jiaqian frowned, glanced at her departing elder brother, and put down her chopsticks without saying a word.
I don't know when it started, but now when my dad has something to say, he doesn't call me directly, but tells me through my older brother.
He disliked this feeling, but he wasn't sad.
Before I started junior high school, my dad would leave early and come home late every day. He and my mom were as indifferent to each other as strangers, and the same was true for him.
Rubbing his uncomfortable chest, Huang Jiaqian picked up his chopsticks again. "Young Master, eat quickly, I need to clean up, I have something to do later." The new kitchen helper, Li Ma, came over, her face cold as if she were facing not the master of the house, but her mortal enemy.
Huang Jiaqian paused in her work, looked up at Li Ma's wrinkled but very white face, and said, "If you're busy, go ahead and do your thing. I'll have Dad hire another maid." Li Ma was brought in by the aunt, so Dad and her older brother respected her a lot and treated her with great respect, so there were no formalities.
Another day of missing Zhang Ma. Zhang Ma was doing a perfectly good job, but I don't know why Dad listened to the nanny and changed her.
Li Ma was furious that this seemingly timid young master was not simple-minded. "Young master, have you forgotten that I was brought in by Madam? I've been with Madam for most of my life." Her sarcastic tone and the contempt and smugness on her face were obvious even to a blind person.
The two women who were cleaning slowed down their movements, listening intently to the sounds. In fact, they were weighing their options in their minds, trying to figure out how to treat the young master. They were both new hires, having only been there for a little over a year. The young master usually had a very low profile at home, and this was the first time he had eaten alone like this.
Naturally, there were few opportunities for people to get to know him.
Huang Jiaqian didn't say anything. He put down his chopsticks, finished eating the food in his bowl, adjusted his glasses, stood up, looked up at Li Ma who had a condescending attitude, then laughed, picked up the soup bowl on the table and smashed it, hitting Li Ma right in the face.
'Bang!' 'Crack!'
"Ah ah..."
The two servants were stunned, standing there dumbfounded.
Hearing the commotion, Huang Ming rushed out and saw Li Ma covered in blood, wailing incessantly. The broken bowl and the oily soup on the ground indicated what had just happened.
“In this house, I, Huang Jiaqian, am the only young master. There is no other. You can ignore me, but if you dare to overstep your bounds, get out! Go find Huang Ming to settle your bill tomorrow and don’t set foot in the Huang family again. Otherwise, I’ll kill you. Got it?”
"I need to tell Madam!!" Li Ma covered her face and ran away crying.
Huang Jiaqian didn't care. "If you clean it up and leave a little stain, then none of you are allowed to do it anymore." After saying that, she went upstairs without looking back.
Huang Ming stared in astonishment at what had just happened. He had been living in this family for a year, and his younger brother really had no presence at home. He had thought that his younger brother was timid, but today it seemed that was not the case.
I brushed past Huang Ming at the top of the stairs.
Huang Jiaqian returned to her room, and the gloom on her face gradually turned into an unfathomable shadow.
How annoying... If you provoke me again, I'll demolish the building. This villa is in my name. Hmm, I'll do it now, and wait for the right opportunity.
None of these people are likable; maybe I should just kill them all... Ugh, so annoying...
That night, Huang Yizhong returned very late, while Huang Jiaqian had been asleep for a long time. Neither of them disturbed the other, just like the calm before the storm.
At 6:30 a.m., Huang Jiaqian's biological alarm clock rang on time. After mechanically washing up, he opened the door and went downstairs for breakfast. To his surprise, everyone seemed to be sitting very neatly today. His father's new wife and son were there, and his father was also there. However, his father was not as indifferent as usual, but had a gloomy face. His expression was even worse when he saw him.
Huang Jiaqian acted as if he hadn't seen anything, and sat down at the table on his own. He found that there were no bowls or chopsticks for him on the table, and Li Ma, who was supposed to leave, was standing behind Li Aunt with a smug look on her face.
"Huang Jiaqian, tell me, why did you hit Li Ma with a bowl last night? Don't you know that Li Ma is your mother's aunt? Apologize to Li Ma!" Huang Ming shouted.
For a moment, the living room was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.
The servants and people at the table all looked at him, waiting for his reaction.
"Ah Ming, let it go. Jia Qian is still a child, he doesn't understand. Let it go, Li Ma, I'll apologize on Jia Qian's behalf. Please don't take it to heart, okay?" Li Mo gently persuaded, but the smile in her eyes wasn't genuine.
Li Ma raised her chin, looking smugly at Huang Jiaqian, who had become the target of everyone's criticism. Her tone was very gentle, "It's alright, Madam. I won't stoop to a child's level." Her condescending tone and upturned lips revealed her current mindset.
"What kind of child is he? He's already twelve years old. In six more years he'll be an adult, practically a grown-up. You just keep spoiling him, humph! Huang Jiaqian, you should thank your mother. If it weren't for your mother, I would have made sure you went hungry today. Li Ma, go get him some bowls and chopsticks."
“Yes, sir.” Aunt Li turned around proudly and walked towards the kitchen.
It was at this moment that Huang Jiaqian turned and headed towards the kitchen.
Huang Ming looked at his son with suspicion. Was he going to get the bowls and chopsticks himself? Huang Jia'ao looked at Huang Jiaqian's back and felt for some reason that something was wrong.
soon……
"ah……"
A chilling scream rang out from the kitchen, sending shivers down everyone's spines.
Li Mo suddenly stood up and rushed to the kitchen. Her mother was her aunt, although she was her cousin, she was still her mother's older sister.
In the kitchen, a sharp fruit knife was stuck in Li Ma's right hand, piercing through her entire hand and pinning her to the cutting board. Huang Jiaqian turned around with a cold smile and met Li Mo's gaze as she rushed in in a panic.
What kind of eyes were those? Cold and lifeless, as if devoid of human presence.
"Ah..." The blood-soaked scene almost made Li Mo gasp for breath, and she could only scream instinctively.
"Huang Jiaqian!!"
The room was in complete chaos.
Huang Ming was heartbroken for his wife and furious at his son's loud shouts, while the culprit left the kitchen with a cold face.
In the instant they brushed past each other, the latter saw Huang Jiaqian's indifference and lifelessness, as if she were a completely different person; her former timidity seemed like a dream.
Everyone in the villa, except for the two cleaning maids, went to the hospital. Huang Jiaqian went upstairs to make a phone call, "Send an excavator in... Yes, bulldoze it, this is my house..."
Huang Jiaqian found his mother's old hiking backpack, tidied up some things in the house, and went straight to the master bedroom. The safe in his mother's former bedroom had the same combination, so Huang Jiaqian took all the valuables in the house, the key to the bank safe, and some property certificates, stuffing the hiking backpack full.
After finally calming his wife down, Huang Ming returned home in a fit of rage. He stared blankly at the house, now reduced to concrete rubble, and couldn't understand how his house could have been razed to the ground in less than half a day.
The property manager greeted Huang Ming immediately upon his return. "Mr. Huang, this is the young master's intention. He said that Madam's things cannot be allowed to be dirty, and since they've become dirty, he simply doesn't want them anymore. Also, the young master said he went to his uncle's place and told you not to contact him unless necessary, or he'll sell his shares to the Hua Group." The property manager smiled amiably, but the chill emanating from him was undeniable.
He was the contingency plan left for Huang Jiaqian. Since Huang Jiaqian was no longer living here, he naturally no longer needed to stay here.
The property manager turned and left.
Huang Ming clutched his chest and fainted from anger.
There was a loud bang behind them, but the property manager didn't turn around.
How dare a man from a poor background treat his mistress's son like that? He's truly ignorant and arrogant.
Huang Jia'ao returned a step later and saw the ruins left behind by the luxurious villa. He was stunned for a long time before he noticed Huang Ming lying on the ground. "Dad!"
In a courtyard house not far from Beiyu Affiliated Middle School, Yuan Zhuan threw her schoolbag on the wooden table in the yard as soon as she entered, and then sat down in a rocking chair. This was what she did every day after school after buying the house. She would stay here for an hour before going back to the other courtyard for dinner.
But... the brief peace was broken today.
Knock knock knock!
Yuan Zhuan sat up in confusion, got up and walked over. Through the crack in the door, he saw an unexpected person. "Huang Jiaqian? How did you know I was here?" He reached out and opened the door.
"Yuan Zhuan, what a coincidence! So it's you who lives here. That's great. The villa next to your house was bought for me by my mom. I had a fight with my family, so I'm staying here tonight. When I saw you come in, I thought I was seeing things, so I came over to confirm." Huang Jiaqian was surprisingly cheerful today. The gloom that had been hanging over her before seemed to have been dispelled by something, and even her appearance had changed.
Huh? What's going on here?
"It's nothing, would you like to come in and sit down?" Yuan Zhuan stared at Huang Jiaqian's face, his brows furrowed tightly.
What major event has happened? My luck has actually changed!
"What's wrong? Is there something on my face?" Huang Jiaqian asked, wiping her face in confusion.
"It's nothing. But you should go to another hospital for a checkup. Your health isn't actually that bad. Come see me after you've had your checkup; I have something to tell you."
"Huh?" Huang Jiaqian asked in surprise, "You can treat illnesses?"
"You can think of it that way. You're not coming in, are you? If you're not coming in, I'll close the door."
"Oh, okay, thank you for the invitation. I won't go in today. I'll come see you again tomorrow after my checkup. Thank you, Yuan Zhuan." It would be impolite to visit without bringing a gift on our first visit, which would be very inappropriate. He didn't want to leave a bad impression on his only friend, even though the other person didn't consider him a friend yet.
Yuan Zhuan closed the door and was about to go in when he suddenly seemed to sense something. He stopped, turned around, and saw a faint shadow appear in the corner of the courtyard. From the figure, he could tell it was a woman, a very beautiful woman.
