"Come on, let's go. I don't need to go back to get anything. How are we going to get there? By car or on foot?" Aunt Qin's restaurant isn't close. Last time, if it weren't for returning the car, the two of them could have taken the bus, which would have only taken two stops.
As for starting to eat right after putting down the bowl, so what? She can digest some of it by walking over; she can still eat the amount of food that two normal people would eat.
How do you want to get there?
The two of them walked towards the school gate, chatting idly for a while. When they were almost at the school gate, they both paused and walked out of the school with their heads down.
Oh my god, how could I forget about this painted-skin ghost? It's so scary, you can't even guard against it!
Having gone far enough, Qian Xiao nudged Sun Kaicheng with her elbow: "Tell me, when did this person become someone's target? Is her family background so powerful that no one dares to investigate such a huge flaw?"
"Didn't you see? There were people following her. But I don't know who they were. I saw them last time, but I guess they haven't found any evidence that's suspicious yet."
"I heard that because of her, their family has become friends with several important people."
Qian Xiao nodded: "I understand, I understand, the temptation of beauty."
“Don’t talk nonsense, that’s called appreciation,” Sun Kaicheng said, realizing the difference in how he treated Qian Xiao. He became more casual in his speech, unlike before when he was somewhat aloof.
"Hehe, you know how to talk. Tell me about this guy. Did you go back and find out?"
"I've heard about it. You don't know, my third sister has a lot of inside information. If you want to know anything, just ask my third sister."
Can you believe it? The beautiful Shao Yifang was born ugly and was disliked by her parents. They always felt like they had given birth to a monster.
These parents are really irresponsible. They said they would wake up in the middle of the night and see the child, and they were so scared that they sent him to live with relatives in the countryside. These parents are really something. They just give the child a monthly allowance and never see him again, as if they had never had an ugly child.
The rest of her family didn't care at all. Even her own parents didn't care what they said. The whole family just acted as if she didn't exist.
About half a year ago, news suddenly came from the countryside that their child was so good-looking that he was causing trouble for the family and making it impossible for them to make a living. So they thought of taking the child back to the family.
"However, my third sister said that, according to reliable sources, it was Shao Yifang who stirred up the fights among the men in the foster family. The most serious fight almost resulted in someone being killed. No one can bear to see their own family members get into trouble because of an outsider, so they just wanted to send the person away as soon as possible, otherwise even brothers would become enemies."
When the Shao family heard what the foster family said, they didn't take it seriously. How good could a child be, if he could scare his parents at night after he was born?
However, since they've already brought it up, how can we just ignore the bloodline of the Shao family? We're thinking of bringing her back and arranging for her to marry off in a distant place, and that'll be the end of it. But when she reaches marriageable age, we can't just leave her unattended, or people will laugh at us.
Qian Xiao… “No, what was this family thinking? Giving away their own flesh and blood because of their appearance? Aren’t they afraid of being laughed at? They’ve probably become a laughing stock by now, haven’t they?”
"You're right, it's become a laughing stock a long time ago, but their family seems to be doing just fine. They're probably just pretending not to hear anything unless someone points it out to them."
When they actually saw the person, the Shao family was overjoyed. Could someone who was so ugly as a child really have transformed into such a handsome man? Whether it was true or not, it was impossible for this family to be lying to them. Even if it was fake, what were they after? Such a handsome person would be very useful for marriage alliances.
It's strange, but after this person was brought back, the person that the whole family disliked became loved by everyone. It was the kind of person that everyone who met him liked him to bits.
Moreover, this child is very good at making people happy. The elders in the family all like her. Not long after she returned, she gained the favor of several important figures and helped the Shao family a lot. As a result, Shao Yifang's status became even higher.
Moreover, this child was a good student and got into university, bringing great honor to the family. The Shao family knew that the family's character was questionable, considering that they would send their newborn baby away to be raised by others just because of his appearance.
For the Shao family, as long as the child can bring benefits to the family, they will receive preferential treatment. No one cares whether it is genuine or not; as long as they like the child, that's enough.
"If someone like that goes back home, will the children of his generation be happy about it?" There are only so many resources in a family. If someone who didn't grow up with you suddenly comes back, the allocation of resources will naturally decrease. How can they not have objections?
It's like someone who has always had a monthly allowance of 100 yuan since childhood, and suddenly a stranger comes along and reduces their allowance from 100 yuan to 60 yuan. Who would be happy about that?
"That's the strangest thing. Among the Shao family's peers, all the boys have no objections and dote on Shao Yifang to an abnormal degree. The girls, however, have very different opinions; some like her and some particularly dislike her."
"However, the younger generation has little say; they all rely on their families to support them, so they can only dare to be angry but not speak out."
"Can you believe it? Shao Yifang's cousins all hug her and adore her whenever they see her. Touching her head and kissing her face has become a regular occurrence."
At this point, Sun Kaicheng's expression was indescribable. If Shao Yifang were a child, this would be understandable, but Shao Yifang is not; she is an adult.
Qian grinned, feeling a strange and somewhat nauseous feeling: "So, nobody feels anything's wrong?"
“At first, some people were saying it, but later it became a case of ‘this is how it should be.’ Most of the opposition came from women. I heard that the neighbors near their house often had arguments between the couples because of this. The women all said that Shao Yifang was a vixen.”
"This is really harmful! Are there any other strange things?"
Sun Kaicheng nodded: "My third sister told me that Shao Yifang can occasionally produce some precious medicinal herbs, and they are all very fresh. Many aristocratic families praise her, just so they can get their hands on these good herbs."
"Then no one will suspect where a child raised in the countryside got those things from?"
"It is said that Shao Yifang has a very mysterious master, and these things were given to her by that master whom no one has ever seen."
Qian Xiao... Creating a teacher out of thin air? This isn't a common excuse in time-travel novels!
The problem is that people actually believe such a ridiculous reason!
