Hearing Wen Lu's words, Qian Lailai had no strength to refute them. She turned around and lay on the bed, breathing heavily with exhaustion.
"Junior Uncle, how can you blame me for this? You didn't even say who was inside her. Although she is dead and a wandering soul, you were in her body, and your aura would infect her. She has lost your aura. Apart from you and someone stronger than you, who can deal with her?"
"If I wasn't worried that her disappearance would be bad for you, I wouldn't have gone to such lengths to keep her. I don't know what triggered her obsession and made her suddenly become strong."
Wen Lu glanced at the small bottle in her hand, narrowed her eyes as if she had seen through something, and asked in a calm tone.
"Has anything happened at school this week? Like Su Yu..."
"Su Yu? Oh, Su Yu is back at school. Although the Wen family went bankrupt, Su Yu's older brother is back. He came to the school in person to apologize to Dong Zhimeng and gave her a large sum of compensation. Dong Zhimeng initially refused, but the school, not wanting to ruin Su Yu's future, negotiated with her, and in the end, she accepted Su Yu and her brother's apology..."
Upon hearing that Su Yu's older brother had returned to deal with Su Yu's matter, Wen Lu understood why the little thing in the bottle had turned evil. It turned out that it was because of that scheming older brother. It seems that Wen Lu cannot accept that this older brother is good to Su Yu.
Wen Lu raised his hand and tapped the bottle lightly, speaking with a hint of sarcasm.
"You're such a fool. He's never genuinely treated you like a sister. He just has this twisted mentality and wants to possess you, and you're still so naive to think he's doing this for your own good. If he really cared about you, would he have watched the Wen family abuse your body like that?"
"What he wanted was to turn you into a weak and helpless person, and then appear as your savior. Who knew you would actually believe it! You should behave yourself. Once I've finished my business, I'll send you away from here so you can enter the cycle of reincarnation sooner and find a good family."
After calming the restless little thing in the bottle, Wen Lu casually put it in Qian Lailai's backpack, then pulled Qian Lailai to sit cross-legged on the bed.
"Close your eyes and listen to me read it to you. I'm not in good health, and my stamina might not be able to keep up. I can only last for twenty minutes at most. After that, you'll have to take care of it yourself."
Qian Lailai knew Wen Lu's physical condition; those twenty minutes had almost killed Wen Lu, and she really didn't want Wen Lu to do so much.
"Junior Uncle, let's forget about it. I feel much better now. I can recover on my own. Don't force your abilities."
Qian Lailai grabbed Wen Lu's hand. She had witnessed her master doing this kind of thing with her own eyes. Even her master, a strong man, couldn't last forty minutes.
Her junior uncle's soul, which had not yet fully integrated, and his broken body, couldn't possibly last twenty minutes. She couldn't let Wen Lu take the risk.
Looking at Qian Lailai's pale face, Wen Lu raised her hand and gently pinched her cheek, then reached out and hugged her with heartache.
"Then take your time to recover. If you feel it's not working, I'll help you again. What would you like to eat? I'll have the kitchen prepare it for you. Once you've eaten, you can rest well."
Hearing that there was something delicious to eat, Qian Lailai lay on the bed with a happy smile, "I want to eat strawberry cake."
"Sure, would you like hot pot or barbecue? I'll have the kitchen prepare it."
Wen Lu has always favored Qian Lailai, never refusing her requests or desires, hoping she will live a happy and fulfilling life.
"I want to eat hot pot, oh, I want to eat beef hot pot."
"Okay, go take a shower. I'll have the kitchen prepare it. It'll be ready after you've showered."
Wen Lu got off Qian Lailai's bed and left Qian Lailai's room. She went to her own bedroom to get a set of loungewear for Qian Lailai and brought it over.
After arranging for Qian Lailai to take a shower, Wen Lu went to talk to the housekeeper about the strawberry cake and beef hot pot before sitting down in the living room.
Wang Jinyu came out of the study and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Wen Lu, who was sitting in the living room, was not acting strangely. He then sat down next to Wen Lu.
"Is that little girl alright?"
"It's nothing serious, just a bit weak. I'll probably need some time to recover."
Wen Lu rested her head on Wang Jinyu's shoulder, looked around the living room, and, not seeing Yan Nuo, asked in confusion.
"Yan Nuo was playing games in the living room just before I went in to look for Qian Lailai. Now he's suddenly gone. Did he do something that he's afraid to face me?"
When Wen Lu came in from outside, she noticed Yan Nuo's evasive gaze. She didn't have time to pay attention to him then, but now that she had time, she wanted to ask him what he had done.
Judging from Wen Lu's tone, Wang Jinyu felt that Wen Lu was treating her like an older sister. She gently squeezed Wen Lu's fingers and whispered a reminder.
"Your character is Yan Nuo's younger sister. How can a younger sister be mean to her older brother? He's probably feeling guilty for not attending school, right? He told me he'll be going back to school first thing tomorrow morning."
Wang Jinyu looked into Wen Lu's eyes and defended Yan Nuo with an open and honest expression. Wen Lu snorted coldly at his words.
"Don't try to intimidate me with the older brother/younger sister thing. If you want to be my older brother, you have to be better than me. Otherwise, be the younger brother. I believe my parents don't want to see my older brother being timid and submissive."
"Who's being subservient? I just don't want to lower myself to her level. Why would I be subservient?"
Yan Nuo, who was hiding around the corner, was immediately displeased when he heard Wen Lu looking down on him so much. Without thinking, he stepped out from behind and refuted Wen Lu's words.
Wen Lu snorted coldly at Yan Nuo's lack of confidence and disdain.
"Fine, I won't ask you to be that good. Just focus on your competitions, get your guaranteed spot, and then manage your team well. Let me see how good you really are."
"Oh, I forgot to mention, have you contacted your teammates? I've already paid the club's rent, renovated it, and replaced all the equipment. We're just waiting for your match result. If you succeed, Coach Wild King will be here immediately. If you fail..."
"There's no way we can fail. I'm telling you, I've got the guaranteed spot, and I've already formed the team. I'm going to show those people what we're made of."
Yan Nuo looked at Wen Lu with a confident expression. When he didn't get a response from Wen Lu, he touched his nose and turned to leave. He made up his mind that he must achieve something and not let Wen Lu's money go to waste. As for whether Wen Lu would respect him or not, he would definitely make Wen Lu look at him with new eyes.
Watching Yan Nuo's departing figure, Wang Jinyu patted Wen Lu's head and smiled gently, "You've already prepared everything, why did you have to pressure him?"
