A crazy beauty has an island, and a powerful figure from that era dotes on her.

"Yi Yi, go get your sister a bowl of rice." Jian Zhongliang turned to look at Jian Qingyi beside him.

"My hand hurts!" Jian Qingyi put down her bowl and chopsticks and got off the table.

Serve her rice?!

She deserves it too!

"Your hand didn't hurt when we were eating?" Jian Zhongliang wasn't stupid; he knew exactly what his little girl was thinking.

He asked her to serve rice to Jian Xiaojing because he wanted to get the two sisters closer.

“I’ve been holding back, but I can’t hold back anymore.” Jian Qingyi slumped onto the sofa.

"Dad, I'll get it myself." Jian Xiaojing forced a smile.

"Go ahead!" Jian Zhongliang smiled at Jian Xiaojing.

When he turned to look at Jian Qingyi, his face fell again.

"You're so lazy! You don't even learn to do housework. When you get married, your mother-in-law will scold you to death."

"At worst, I won't get married. Anyway, you'll support me, so what am I afraid of?!" Jian Qingyi looked down at her manicured nails from the afternoon without raising her head.

"Are you determined to cling to me?" Jian Zhongliang laughed in exasperation.

"Am I not obvious enough?" Jian Qingyi shamelessly raised her eyes and smiled at Jian Zhongliang.

It was clearly a rather shameless remark, yet it somehow prevented Jian Zhongliang from getting angry.

"What will you do if I die?" Jian Zhongliang sighed with a smile.

"Where there's a will, there's a way," Jian Qingyi shrugged nonchalantly.

Thinking that she had eaten a bit too much for dinner, Jian Qingyi changed her shoes and prepared to go downstairs for a walk to digest her food.

"It's so late, are you still going out?" Jian Zhongliang frowned as he looked at Jian Qingyi walking towards the door, his voice filled with worry.

"I ate too much cured pork and sausage, so I went downstairs for a walk to digest." Jian Qingyi originally wanted to say "went downstairs to digest," but when she thought of the murderous look Jian Xiaojing would give when she saw the leftovers, she explained it in a very good mood.

Sure enough, as soon as she finished speaking, Jian Xiaojing's sharp gaze shot towards her.

If hatred and gaze could materialize, Jian Qingyi would have died at least a thousand or eight hundred times over.

"Didn't you just say your hand hurt?" Jian Zhongliang clearly didn't want Jian Qingyi to go out at this moment.

"My foot doesn't hurt." Jian Qingyi opened the door and was about to leave.

“It’s so late, it’s not safe for a young girl like you to go out. Wait for your father, I’ll finish this meal and then go with you.” Jian Zhongliang said as he quickly shoveled rice into his mouth.

"I'm just taking a walk in the yard, what's wrong with that?" Jian Qingyi left without looking back.

If you run into her, who knows who might be in danger!

"This child..."

Jian Zhongliang sighed.

He quickly finished his rice in a few bites, then got up and chased after her.

The mother and daughter at the dinner table stared angrily at the front door that slammed shut.

"Mom, look, if this continues, where will we find a place to live in this house?" Jian Xiaojing was the first to lose her composure.

Li Meiqian stared intently at the front door with a dark expression, as if her father's killer was standing there.

"Mom, say something! If you don't come up with a solution, we're all going to be bullied to death by that brat." Jian Xiaojing nudged Li Meiqian, her voice anxious.

That brat is getting harder and harder to handle.

If we don't kick her out soon, this family will definitely be thrown into chaos.

"Mother..." Seeing Li Meiqian's dark face and silence, Jian Xiaojing called out again in a deep voice.

"Have you forgotten what Director Zhou from the Public Security Bureau said?" Li Meiqian asked, looking annoyed and frustrated.

If that damned butcher had been a little bolder, he would have just taken care of that brat and gotten her pregnant. There wouldn't be all this trouble now.

Li Meiqian became increasingly angry the more she thought about it.

I couldn't help but curse him as "useless" in my heart.

Jian Xiaojing instantly deflated like a punctured balloon, collapsing into her chair.

for a long time.

Jian Xiaojing couldn't help but ask, "Mother, is there really no other way?"

She really didn't want to see that idiot Jian Qingyi anymore.

She always came in last place, yet she still had the nerve to go to school.

If it were her, she would have bought a block of tofu and killed herself.

How can they still have the face to live?

"Mother will find a way," Li Meiqian said, her eyes sparkling.

downstairs

Thinking it was just a casual stroll, Jian Qingyi slowed her pace.

Before long, he was caught up by Jian Zhongliang, who was walking in a hurry.

The weather is neither too hot nor too cold at this time of year, and with lights in the courtyard, many people like to take a stroll after dinner to digest their food and chat with others.

Everyone was quite surprised to see Jian Zhongliang leading Jian Qingyi downstairs to digest their food.

Jian Zhongliang, a scholar, considered himself to be the least interested in gossiping about others.

On weekdays, after dinner, I either watch TV at home or go to Jian Dashan and Mao Chunqiao's room to chat with the two elders.

Needless to say, Jian Qingyi was even more so.

Aside from going to and from school, she is rarely seen coming downstairs.

Now that the father and daughter have appeared together, how could everyone not be suspicious?

"Director Jian, are you taking your daughter out for a walk?" someone greeted.

“I ate a bit too much for dinner, so my daughter Yiyi came downstairs with me to digest,” Jian Zhongliang said with a smile.

"Yi Yi is so filial!" someone immediately started showering her with compliments.

"What filial piety? I'm already being kind by not getting angry with you." Jian Zhongliang feigned modesty.

Jian Qingyi gave a speechless twitch at the corner of her mouth.

Is this because they're afraid she won't be able to get married and will keep sponging off her parents, so they're starting to create a "filial piety" persona for her?

Gee!

That little head of hers, it's always coming up with a new idea, one after another.

With his little brain, wouldn't it be a complete waste to send him to the production workshop?

If she were the factory manager, she would directly transfer him to the R&D team.

With his clever little brain at the helm, how could the candy factory not have a bright future?!

"They say daughters are their parents' little cotton-padded jackets, and that's absolutely true. My brat is always running around like a madman. He doesn't even know to come home when it's mealtime, and I have to search all over the place for him. I must have owed him something in my past life." Someone couldn't resist complaining about their own son.

These words instantly resonated with everyone.

Suddenly, everyone started complaining about their own brats.

Jian Qingyi and Jian Zhongliang weren't interested in any of this. They greeted everyone and continued strolling forward.

As soon as the two figures disappeared around the corner, several middle-aged women huddled together stared at the direction they had disappeared in and began to discuss amongst themselves.

"Isn't everyone saying that Director Jian is biased towards that woman's child? But I don't think so."

"Who knows? Yesterday the police said that Director Jian and his mother found Jian Qingyi an old widower with a child who had lost his wife! And he went to school today."

“Those are all rumors spread by Sun Qiang.”

"That bastard is a real scoundrel. The young girl accidentally fell into the water, and he insisted on making it sound like she jumped into the river to commit suicide..."

"Yes, he tried to hit someone yesterday, but luckily Director Zhou from the Public Security Bureau intervened and stopped him."

At this point, the group recalled what Zhou Hao had said before he left.

"That kid, Team Leader Jian, has really made something of himself. Even Director Zhou from the Public Security Bureau has to give him face."
