Jiang Yi immediately knew her plan. "I don't care. If you want to go, I'll go with you."
Hua Xiangyun blinked at him and said, "Senior brother, I'm not a newbie who just joined the sect anymore. I don't need you to pick me up and drop me off anymore."
Looking into her clear eyes, Jiang Yi sighed inwardly. She still hadn't figured it out. "You can't even allow me to improve together. Besides, you're the only person I know here. If you go to university, it'll be meaningless for me to stay here."
Hua Xiangyun, “…Senior brother… You can’t be so aloof. What will you do when you get married in the future?”
She didn't dare say those last things. She had only mentioned it once before, that she wanted a beautiful sister-in-law, and her senior brother hadn't spoken to her for a whole week.
"Alright, stop looking so gloomy. Tell me how your family treats you these days?" Jiang Yi knew when to stop and started chatting with her about their daily life...
But what happened at the beginning? "So when you came over, your head was injured too?"
Hua Xiangyun: "Perhaps that's why we were able to come here."
Fortunately, his subsequent training didn't cause him too much suffering.
That means they've suffered even more. Jiang Yi heard a familiar name, "Zhou Xiaolan? Isn't she the one I ran into in your yard this morning?"
Hua Xiangyun nodded, then remembered that she hadn't told her senior brother about the world in the book yet, so she quickly rattled off what she knew.
She told him everything she knew, “I don’t know if the plot will continue, but it won’t be so easy for Zhou Xiaolan to marry into the Hua family now.”
Jiang Yi felt a surge of anger. Even though Xiangyun hadn't personally experienced the world in the book, the thought of it still made him feel unbearable.
"Your second brother still made that choice in the end, so you moved in with me."
I have plenty of houses, and it's not like I can't afford to support you.
Hua Xiangyun grinned and said, "As expected, my senior brother is still the best to me. Even after so many years apart, his protective manner hasn't changed at all. Senior brother, have you forgotten? I have family protecting me now."

The second day of the Lunar New Year
Jiang Yin returned to the Jiang family home with her husband and daughter. As soon as she entered the door, she couldn't stop crying.
“I can go back to my parents’ home on the second day of the Lunar New Year,” Jiang Yin said, looking at the familiar courtyard and her busy nephew. She clutched her chest and felt a sharp pain.
The second day of the Lunar New Year is also the hardest time for her.
While others went back to their parents' home in a lively and joyous atmosphere, she could only hide in her room and lick her wounds.
Yang Guoqing put his arm around her shoulder and patted her gently. "Everything will be alright in the future. When Jiang Yi gets married and has children, it will be even more lively when he comes back."
Jiang Yin nodded heavily, "After the festival, I will help him make arrangements so that I can see him get married and have children. That way, I can explain things to my parents and grandparents in the future."
Yang Lan touched the baby in her belly and sat silently in the corner. She had gone back to her parents' home, but she never expected it to be in this way.
“We should help him find someone, you know your nephew is very popular these days.” Yang Guoqing said with a smile, “The person my colleague introduced sounds pretty good, we’ll let him see her too, that way he’ll have more options.”
Whether it's suitable or not is another matter; a decision will only be made if Jiang Yi approves.
Jiang Yin had heard Yang Guoqing say this a few times, so she had to give him some face. After all, although he had some opinions about Jiang Yi living in the house before, he had never mistreated the child. "We'll see then, but it all depends on A-Yi's own willingness. Even if I am his aunt, I will not force him."
Yang Guoqing said irritably, "Yes, I am the bad guy. Do you think I can't tell the difference between people who are close and those who are distant?"
"Jiang Yi is still our nephew, no matter what. Would I really betray him for the sake of my colleagues outside?"
Jiang Yin smiled and said, "You're just being sensitive. I didn't say that."
Anyway, we're just aunt and uncle; in the future, he'll still be the one calling the shots in the Jiang family.
Yang Guoqing fell silent. Having Jiang Yi in the house before had indeed brought a lot more trouble, but to be honest, Jiang Yi wasn't actually raised by him.
This daughter-in-law of his was more meticulous than anyone else. She took care of Jiang Yi personally, and remembered every penny she spent and every meal she ate. All of this was deducted from the money left by her brother-in-law.
To be honest, the Yang family didn't really give much in terms of gratitude.
If he hadn't taken Jiang Yi in back then, his family might have fallen apart.
Jiang Yin might even raise her niece alone, and she wouldn't let the child suffer any injustice.
Yang Guoqing knew that Jiang Yin's words were a reminder that it was impossible for her to interfere in the Jiang family's affairs.
With a sigh, he figured he'd repaid the favor through this incident, and would just stay home and take care of his grandson from now on.
Turning to Yang Lan's side, while everyone around them was mocking their daughter for being divorced and returning home, Yang Guoqing felt a secret joy.
He only has one daughter, Yang Lan. His brother's family wanted to adopt a child for him, but the couple refused.
Now that Yang Lan is getting a divorce, it's actually an opportunity for them. In order not to raise the child, the entire Xie family has signed the papers, and from now on, the child will be the Yang family's descendant.
Although many people told him that Yang Lan's belly looked like it was carrying a girl, so what? There's still a chance before the child is born.
Besides, it doesn't matter if it's a girl; we can always find her a husband later.
"Mom, are you sure you don't need to go help?" Yang Lan felt uneasy watching her cousin running around.
“It’s alright, didn’t you try A-Yi’s cooking?” Jiang Yin used to worry that her nephew wouldn’t be able to take good care of himself, but since that housewarming party, she no longer had that concern.
Yang Lan didn't come along that day, but they all took food back with them, and Yang Lan praised it highly that day.
"Did A-Yi become a cook?" Yang Lan was a little suspicious. She remembered that Jiang Yi never did these household chores at home.
"What's the big deal? Once you get inside, you'll have to train in everything," Jiang Yin said with a mysterious confidence. "Ayi has been smart since he was little, and he learns everything quickly. Learning these things is a piece of cake for him."
Back in the day, nobody came here specifically to learn cooking; we just figured things out on our own.
"Going out and seeing the world, encountering people from all over, is so much better than us always staying in this small place. The more you see, the more you naturally learn."
Yang Guoqing agreed with this viewpoint, saying that it made sense: "Your mother is right, people should go out and travel more."
After you give birth to the baby, when your mother retires, you should also work hard.
"Your mother, the children, and I will all depend on you in the future."
Yang Guoqing was worried because his daughter had been feeling down these past few days. Since the conversation had come to this point, he took the opportunity to offer some advice.
Yang Lan touched her belly, somewhat unsure of herself. "I'm afraid I can't do it. Ayi has always been smarter than me."
If she hadn't been so foolish, she wouldn't have failed to see Xie Dacheng's true colors and ended up in such a state.
