As Ai Qingyan turned to leave, her smile remained perfectly curved, but her nails had already dug deep into her palms, almost drawing blood.
She walked quickly, her high heels clicking crisply, almost shrill, on the clean floor of the college.
What a disgrace! It's an absolute disgrace!
She was actually humiliated in public by a wild girl?
What's even more ridiculous is that the Luo family and Helan Yuan are all on that woman's side!
On what grounds?
Her personal terminal suddenly vibrated, and an encrypted message popped up: [Young Miss, your father is looking for you.]
Ai Qingyan gave a cold laugh and her fingertips furiously tapped on the virtual keyboard: [Tell him I'll contact him later.]
She doesn't have time to deal with that pirate leader's father right now; she needs to calm down, she needs to think things through, and she needs revenge!
Only then can we ease her extremely embarrassed feelings from just now!
She turned into a deserted corner of the corridor and finally dropped her pretense.
"Do you think you can rest easy with the Luo family and Helan Yuan protecting you?"
She murmured softly, each syllable seeming to be poisoned.
She slowly raised her face, and her distorted expression was reflected on the mirrored wall.
"I will make you know... what it means to wish you were dead."
She murmured softly, her fingertips tracing the personal terminal, and dialed the number of her father's personal terminal that she had contacted since her rebirth, making a holographic video call.
She gracefully straightened her skirt and put on a gentle, polite smile again. No one knew what dark emotions were churning inside her at that moment.
“Father, yes, I have entered the First Academy and met the heir of the Luo family, but now there has been a small problem…”
"The Luo family recently adopted a girl named Zixi."
"Moreover... Madam Luo is perfectly fine, alive and well, and the Luo family treats her... very specially."
Ai Qingyan stood in front of the holographic projection, her face bearing just the right amount of worry.
Her voice was soft, as if she were worried about something important, but her eyes flashed with a vicious scheme.
But in the picture, she has a slight frown, as if she is troubled.
The man on the other side of the light screen was Ai Quan, the notorious leader of interstellar pirates, who was fifth on the bounty list.
He squinted his scarlet mechanical prosthetic eye, his metal teeth gleaming coldly in the dim light.
"The Luo family adopted a girl? There's been no news about it..."
"It seems the Luo family has been hiding something very well."
His voice was hoarse, like the friction of metal.
"Yes, Father."
"Luo Ming, the heir of the Luo family, treats her very differently. It seems the Luo family values this adopted daughter very much..."
Ai Qingyan lowered her head, concealing the coldness that flashed in her eyes. She paused deliberately, her fingertips unconsciously rubbing her cuffs, as if hesitating whether to continue.
"Go on."
The mechanical arm of the AI fist made a piercing clicking sound.
"Today... I also saw a researcher from the First Legion. He also seemed to have a special interest in that adopted daughter..."
"It is very possible that the First Legion and the Luo family have a different kind of connection."
Ai Qingyan's words were ambiguous and left much to the imagination.
But she didn't notice that a tiny, dust-like nano-listening device, smaller than a speck of dust, was flashing a barely perceptible blue light on the outside of the back of her collar.
Ai Quan, on the other side of the light screen, narrowed his scarlet mechanical prosthetic eye, his metal fingers tapping the armrest with a dull sound.
"continue."
“I checked. The girl’s name is Zi Xi. She was brought back by the Luo family from an orphanage in a peripheral star system.”
