Chapter 2 What university is it that you have to go through the exam in person?
Outside the car window.
The girl stood under the eaves, staring blankly into the distance.
She was soaking wet, leaning languidly against the wall, her face deathly pale, looking like a poor, homeless woman.
"Isn't this the fake heiress who was kicked out of the Shen family?"
This face is so beautiful and distinctive that Feng Zhi in the passenger seat recognized it at a glance.
"A fake heiress?"
Shang Shiyan narrowed his eyes, exhaled a puff of smoke, and his emotions were dark and unpredictable.
"I was just chasing the ghost when I saw her being chased out," Feng Zhi replied respectfully. "It's quite pitiful that everyone is bullying her."
"Is that so?"
The man rested his slender fingertips on the car window, casually flicking off his cigarette ash, his dark eyes gazing at the girl growing even deeper.
I was stunned for a few seconds.
The poor thing looked away, took out a bottle of clear liquid from his backpack, and then rolled up his right sleeve, revealing a deep, bone-revealing bloodstain.
The girl's expression remained unchanged. She casually wiped the blood off the bottle and used her teeth to open the cap.
Without any hesitation, he poured all the liquid onto the wound.
Blood mixed with disinfectant dripped down, pooling on the ground in a crimson stain.
"Holy crap!"
Feng Zhi nearly lost his grip on the steering wheel. His titanium alloy dog eyes widened in disbelief as he bared his teeth and exclaimed, "What a ruthless guy!"
These grown men, who have braved countless dangers, howled like pigs being slaughtered when their wounds were being cleaned?
She seemed to feel no pain, her expression was extremely calm, and she even peeled and ate a piece of fruit candy halfway through.
"drop--"
Upon hearing the horn, Pei Jinwu slightly raised her eyelids and was caught off guard by a pair of deep and sharp black eyes.
"?"
Pei Jinwu paused for a few seconds to make sure the man was looking at her.
"Wind travels".
Seeing the girl's bewildered face, Shang Shiyan stubbed out his cigarette at the opportune moment and instructed, "Go and ask her if she needs any help."
It looks quite small; be careful it doesn't get kidnapped by bad people.
"yes."
Just as Feng Xing was about to take action, Pei Jinwu had already treated her injuries, looked away, and turned to leave.
He hadn't walked more than a few steps when he suddenly turned back.
The girl, with her hands in her pockets and her pretty chin slightly raised, said calmly, "The fuel tank is reversed at seven o'clock. There's a problem."
Blood should not be shed on the anniversary of my grandfather's death.
She heard what the man had just said.
This is to repay the favor he did.
"tank?"
Fengxing and Fengzhi quickly got out of the car to check and found that something was wrong.
If not checked in time, friction could ignite the vehicle during driving, potentially leading to an explosion.
"The fuel tank on this car is very well hidden. How did she find it?"
Feng Zhi was amazed; even a 4S shop would have to disassemble it to determine the location of the damage.
Watching the girl's retreating figure, Shang Shiyan's prominent Adam's apple bobbed twice, and the corners of his lips curved into a barely perceptible smile.
A fake heiress?
That's interesting.
"Hello? Hey hello!"
The old lady muttered to herself for a long time, but when she didn't hear her grandson's response, she got furious: "You brat, are you trying to drive me crazy? Give me a straight answer, boy or girl!"
"grandmother."
The man closed the file, a faint smile appearing on his handsome face, a wicked smirk playing on his lips: "Your grandson's sexual orientation... is perfectly normal."
——
Two hours later.
Mengjiao, a remote slum in the capital.
Countless dilapidated houses are crammed along the sides of the potholed, muddy road.
Under the misty moonlight, the entire village was shrouded in a gray haze, as if isolated from the world, giving it an eerie and unsettling feel.
Pei Jinwu followed the map, navigating through the winding alleys.
Finally, it stopped in front of a simple house.
To be precise, it's a relative's house.
According to the Shen family, this relative was the cousin of the husband's younger sister, the sister of the mother's maternal grandmother...
She calls me Auntie.
In fact, the two are not related by blood.
When she was three years old, she went to sea with her family and was shipwrecked.
Her parents did everything they could to throw their youngest daughter onto Pei Shu's small fishing boat, which allowed her to survive.
Unfortunately, Pei Shu's husband died early, and she was raising her daughter alone. She did not meet the adoption requirements, so she had no choice but to send herself to an orphanage with a heavy heart.
Thinking that she had been adopted by the Shen family and would live a good life, she stopped bothering them.
Now that the Shen family has found her, Pei Shu agreed to bring her back without hesitation.
That's why.
Pei Jinwu then realized that she had parents, three older brothers, and three older sisters.
However, his whereabouts are unknown after the shipwreck, and all detailed information was destroyed.
"Your cousin is used to a good life, I wonder if she'll find it unpleasant here."
A simply dressed middle-aged woman was cleaning the dilapidated house, sighing, "I heard she has a withdrawn personality and is not easy to manage."
"Hmm."
Wen Jianjian squatted on the ground washing things, comforting her mother: "People are all made of flesh and blood. As long as we treat our cousin well, she'll eventually—"
Before he could finish speaking...
Then he saw a pair of muddy shoes stopped in front of him.
Wen Jianjian slightly raised her eyes, followed the two long legs upwards, and her gaze settled on a slightly disheveled but incredibly beautiful face.
"You..." Wen Jianjian swallowed subconsciously and asked in a low voice, "Miss, who are you looking for?"
"Hello."
The girl pursed her lips and answered briefly, "I'm looking for Pei Shu. I came from the Shen family."
She is the cousin who was kicked out of the Shen family?
“Mom, Mom…” Wen Jianjian stood up abruptly, her voice trembling uncontrollably: “My cousin is back.”
"Thud—"
Upon seeing the other person's face, Pei Shu's eyes reddened, and the broom in her hand fell to the ground.
...
Half an hour later.
Pei Jinwu changed into clean clothes and obediently ate at the dining table.
She has a big appetite and had been hungry all day; she was still not full after eating two bowls of noodles.
Pei Shugan cooked the rest of the noodles and served the whole pot to her.
"Thank you, Auntie."
Pei Jinwu politely thanked him and continued eating.
You've grown so much?
Why are you so thin?
Pei Shu sat opposite her, carefully observing the girl, feeling extremely sorry for her.
Pretty, polite, petite, helpless, but... she has a big appetite.
She thought she was very well-behaved.
It's nothing like the terrible rumors circulating outside!
——
After finishing the meal.
Pei Shu tidied up the only bedroom so that Pei Jinwu could rest.
"These conditions aren't great, but you'll have to make do." Knowing that the old man had just passed away and she was feeling sad, Pei Shu didn't have the heart to ask any more questions: "But don't worry, as long as your aunt has something to eat, you won't go hungry."
"Yes, cousin."
Wen Jianjian brought over clean pajamas, her round eyes full of sincerity: "Just relax and make yourself at home."
The mother and daughter, afraid of disturbing her rest, quickly left the room after tidying up.
Pei Jinwu noticed it.
The house is very small, a one-bedroom apartment.
Life is so hard, yet you still promised to take care of her...
After thinking for a few seconds, Pei Jinwu took out her phone with the cracked screen from her bag and made a call.
"Fog, fog—"
As soon as the call connected, Louying's loud and boisterous voice was deafening.
"I'm alive."
Pei Jinwu took her phone away, squinted her almond-shaped eyes, and uttered four words with disdain.
"We've heard about Elder Shen's passing. Please accept our condolences." Lou Ying scratched his short silver hair, his deliberately masculine attire making him exceptionally handsome.
"fine."
Pei Jinwu took out her grandfather's portrait and placed it on the table.
“The Pei family isn’t really related to you by blood, why do you insist on going?” Lou Ying sighed and advised, “Go back to Nanzhou, those guys at the base miss you a lot.”
"The Pei family is doing well."
Pei Jinwu yawned, casually flipping through her phone, her eyes showing a lazy expression: "Besides, I have to take the college entrance exam."
"Tsk tsk tsk."
Hearing her calm and collected words, Lou Ying rolled her eyes, finding it absurd: "What university? You have to go through the trouble of taking the exam yourself?!"
