What I'm best at is turning other people's things into my own.
Qian Hao was deeply moved by Ling Shen's words.
That was when Ling Shen first arrived at the school. For many years before that, as the eldest son of the Ling family, he had disappeared without a trace, and rumors circulated that he had died. Now he suddenly appeared and took back the Ling family in a very short time.
The young masters and ladies in school hate two kinds of people the most.
One type is those who suddenly appear and intrude into their lives.
There is also the type that is stronger than them.
Unfortunately, Ling Shen had both of these traits, so when he first entered the school, he was targeted by all sorts of people.
In just one month, Ling Shen turned the school upside down. All the glory that originally belonged to those young masters and ladies was replaced by Ling Shen, and the top spot on all the honor lists was also taken by Ling Shen.
Ling Shen's secret base at school was originally reserved by the top student at the time, who was to turn it into his studio.
The student who ranked first was the first to feel the threat posed by Ling Shen's appearance, so he was the most proactive in targeting Ling Shen. He used his position as the student council president and the top student in his grade to incite some people to target Ling Shen.
However, a month later, everything changed.
Ling Shen topped the list at this school, trampling all those people under his feet.
Ling Shen signed for the rooftop room that originally belonged to that person and threw his things out.
On the first day Ling Shen entered that secret base, he ran into Qian Hao as he went downstairs. The two looked at each other, said nothing, and entered the elevator together.
When the elevator reached the first floor, Ling Shen stepped out first and then said something.
"It's kind of exciting to turn someone else's things into your own."
At that time, Qian Hao didn't take Ling Shen's words seriously. After all, Ling Shen was only 18 years old at the time, and to him, he was just a little kid.
But unexpectedly, a few years later, Ling Shen stood in front of him and said the same thing again.
The central topic is Chitose.
Qian Hao, who had always maintained a gentle and refined demeanor, finally couldn't hold back any longer.
His expression changed, and a shadow of gloom that shouldn't have belonged to him flashed in his eyes.
Qian Hao asked, "Where is my sister?"
Ling Shen raised an eyebrow, not intending to tell Qian Hao.
He tried to walk past Qian Hao, but Qian Hao blocked his way. The two were about the same height, but their temperaments were very different.
Qian Hao said, "Ling Shen, what you do normally has nothing to do with our Qian family. The relationship between the Qian family and the Ling family is one of mutual respect and non-interference. But if you dare to touch my sister, our Qian family will spare no effort to destroy your Ling family."
Upon hearing this, Ling Shen felt no threat and instead laughed.
"If the Qian family cherishes this younger sister so much, why did they send her to live with them on Mount Tian?"
The fact that Ling Shen asked this question proves that he has already investigated Qian Sui's identity.
The Qian family had kept these things a secret, but Ling Shen still managed to find out through his own investigation. Now that he's saying it in front of Qian Hao, it's tantamount to a formal declaration of war.
Seeing that Qian Hao did not answer, Ling Shen knew that his words had hit the nail on the head.
Ling Shen said, "It's because there's something difficult to say. For example, if Qian Sui were raised in the Qian family, she wouldn't be able to survive. In fact, their fates clash, right?"
Ling Shen had investigated and found out that Qian Sui was being fostered in Tianshan, but he couldn't find out who was fostering him. However, based on what Qian Sui had said, Ling Shen could roughly guess what kind of expert was fostering Qian Sui.
If you then make some guesses based on your own ideas, you can guess the general reason.
Qian Hao chuckled lightly, unconvinced: "Mr. Ling is being too suspicious. Where our little Qian Sui is fostered is a matter for the Qian family. Even if you guess the reason, it has nothing to do with you."
Qian Hao didn't want to deal with Ling Shen anymore. He had just noticed the direction Ling Shen was walking in. Given Ling Shen's status, the organizers of this party would definitely arrange for Ling Shen to be in the quietest and best room.
So it's the room at the very end of the corridor.
Qian Hao walked quickly over, and called out when he was almost at the door.
"Little Thousand Years Old".
Upon hearing her second brother's voice, Qian Sui, who was in the room, came out with a pastry in each hand.
Qian Sui pushed open the door and saw Qian Hao standing there. Her eyes lit up and she called out happily, "Second Brother!"
Qianhao returned to his usual gentle demeanor, looking at Qiansui with doting eyes. Qiansui had just eaten some pastries, and there were still some crumbs on the corners of her mouth. Qianhao reached out and patted Qiansui's head, then said, "You seemed to enjoy your meal."
Qian Sui nodded, then handed the pastries in her hand to Qian Hao, saying, "This almond shortbread is especially delicious, Second Brother, you should try it too."
Since Qian Sui has shared it, Qian Hao has no reason to refuse.
Qian Hao reached out and took the pastry. The small pastry lay in Qian Hao's palm and looked very appealing.
Ling Shen walked over at this moment and stood next to Qian Hao, giving Qian Sui a gentle smile.
Qian Sui also saw Ling Shen, so she handed him another piece of pastry and said, "This is for you."
Ling Shen originally wanted to reach out and take it, but when he saw that Qian Hao also had one in his hand, he stopped.
Qian Sui didn't notice anything wrong with Ling Shen, thinking he was just embarrassed to take it, so she went over, took Ling Shen's hand, placed the pastry in his palm, and said, "This is really delicious!"
Ling Shen looked at the pastries in his hand, feeling both amused and exasperated. He turned his head and saw Qian Hao looking at him as well. The moment their eyes met, it felt like lightning had entered the air.
Qian Hao glanced at the pastries in Ling Shen's hand, which were the same as his own, and chuckled, "Then thank you very much for the pastries prepared by President Ling. Qian Sui and I both like them very much."
Qian Hao's words implied that the pastries Ling Shen prepared were given to me by my sister, implying that my sister actually values me.
Ling Shen smiled, putting on an easy-going demeanor in front of Qian Sui.
"Teacher Hao, you're welcome. The last time I was with Qian Sui, she said that if I didn't have any money, she could go home and get my brother's money for me."
Ling Shen's words almost instantly killed Qian Hao.
Qianhao turned to look at Qiansui, the little girl blinking her eyes, looking incredibly innocent.
That makes sense. Stealing from her own brother to raise an ingrate outsider—given Qian Sui's thought process, she's capable of doing something like that.
The two men were locked in a fierce battle, each believing that the pastries the young lady had placed in their hands were bargaining chips in their competition for favor. Their eyes met, and they seemed ready to ignite a spark between them.
At this moment, Lu Jiayan came out of the room, carrying a plate of almond cookies.
Lu Jiayan, unaware of the awkward atmosphere, stood at the door with the plate of almond cookies, smiling at the two of them.
"Mr. Ling, Mr. Hao, please eat! These almond cookies are so delicious. This whole plate was given to me by Qian Sui."
Ling Shen and Qian Hao: "..."
