Jia Xiufang had become especially reliant on her elder daughter recently, although she hadn’t realized it herself.

“Qian’er, what do you think we should do about your brother?”

“After the school starts, don’t let him go to school. Give him a month of sick leave. I’ll figure out how to get the sick leave note. I’ll send him to a place.” “Why would you want him to miss classes?”

“Isn’t your playboy son good enough if he doesn’t miss classes?”

Jia Xiufang fell silent, and Chen Wanku was in the bottom three of his grade, so whether he attended school or not didn’t really make a big difference.

“What exactly do you want your brother to do?”

“I’ll find him something to do; he can even earn money to show his filial piety.”

“Stop kidding, how old is your brother? Which company would hire child labor? Besides, there are loads of adults who are out of work now, so what can a child do? What’s more, he doesn’t even like going to school; do you think he’d want to work?”

“He’ll definitely like this job, and they’ll want to use him. Mom, if you trust me, let me handle this. I guarantee this kid won’t go astray, but there’s one thing: you can’t be soft-hearted. I’ll send him away for a month, and you’re not allowed to ask where he’s going. You can call him once a week, and no matter how he cries to you, you mustn’t give in.”

“But…”

“Super short skirt, Night Shanghai, a little hoodlum with a dragon tattoo…” Before Jia Xiufang could react, the mention of Pavlov’s conditioning was enough.

“Fine, just do it. Just make sure your brother isn’t in any danger.”

Since they couldn’t control this unruly son anyway, they might as well give it a try.

Xiao Qian had been waiting for her mother’s words.

Mother and daughter each lay on a bed, and as Xiao Qian pondered how to deal with Chen Zilong, she suddenly heard a ‘ba-da’ sound from the window!

Her mouth twitched, could it be…

“What’s that noise, is it hail?” Jia Xiufang also heard it.

“No, nothing! You lie down; I’ll go to the bathroom. It’s probably cats fighting outside.”

Only female cats would be fighting cats, but Xiao Qian was sure that the troublemaker outside was male…

“Qian’er! There’s a bathroom in the room, so where are you going?”

“Uh, I’m going downstairs to buy some gum.”

Xiao Qian casually made up an excuse and slipped out like a thief.

She looked left and right but didn’t see anyone.

They were staying in a seaside villa-style house with an open yard gate, but there was someone watching. That person who liked to use a slingshot to shoot at people’s windows shouldn’t be able to sneak in, right?

But the sound was clearly—and there it was again!

Xiao Qian felt someone covering her mouth from behind, and she jumped in fright. It was late at night, and she was standing in front of the hotel, could she have encountered a bad guy?

“It’s me.” His familiar voice sounded in her ear.

This…no, don’t, give, me, that man!

She had already told him that she was staying with her mother, but he still dared to use a slingshot to shoot at the windows!

Moreover, he used such a scary way to approach her, trying to frighten her!

She turned around, bumped into his stomach, stepped on his foot, and kicked his calf!

Yu Minglang was beaten by her flurry of blows, stifling a groan. He caught her small fist, put it to his mouth intending to kiss it, but the furious girl snatched it back and bit him!

That really hurt, and Yu Minglang became obedient.

Only when Xiao Qian saw the “watch mark” she had bitten onto his hand did her anger subside. Served him right for playing a night raid scare on her!

“How did you get in?” she asked in a low voice.

Yu Minglang gestured at the wall; with its height, how could it stop him?

While speaking softly, Xiao Qian covertly looked up, making sure her mother didn’t see them.

“This is a blind spot, she can’t see.” He was so cunning and meticulous, seeking praise!

Xiao Qian was annoyed by his shamelessness; she stepped on his foot a few more times and pushed him away. This shameless guy wasn’t angry when pushed away; he just came back wagging his tail.

“What are you here for!”

“To see you for a moment.”

So, climbing over the wall and shooting people’s windows was just for a glance?

Xiao Qian really didn’t know what to say about him.

Yu Minglang pulled a box out of his pocket and handed it to Xiao Qian. She felt something hard and looked down, raising an eyebrow.

“Canned food?”

“Canned Spiced Beef, it’s the best tasting one in our provisions.”

Today he met someone from his old unit who, knowing that he craved canned food, brought him a whole case. He picked out his favorite to give her.

Presenting a woman with a can of food… Xiao Qian thought, other than Yu Minglang, there wouldn’t be anyone else doing this.”

“You should eat it yourself.” Normal girls wouldn’t like such a blunt man’s gifts, but… Xiao Qian wasn’t a normal girl; she was a mature woman.

He was so rich he should be giving bags, watches, and flowers instead! When giving other girls canned food, wouldn’t they misinterpret it?

Xiao Qian felt warmth in her heart.

“No big deal, I have other things.” Although he only had one of this flavor, he still wanted to give it to her.

He wanted to give her the best of everything, even if it cost him everything.

A simple can of food, which wasn’t very valuable, meant a lot to him. Even if he didn’t say it, she understood. At this moment, it represented a piece of his heart.

“Alright, I’ll keep it.”

Accepting it carried a particular meaning, which both of them understood.

People with high IQs didn’t need to have everything spelled out for them; understanding was enough.

“I’ll be flying out for a business trip soon, so I won’t be able to come see you. Be careful while you’re out and contact Hai Zhao if anything happens.”

“Yeah… you be careful too.”

“Silly girl, I’ll be fine.” He ruffled her hair and, with a cool flip, climbed back over the wall.

Xiao Qian watched him leave, a smile in her eyes, “Only you would call me silly.”

With her IQ, she could wipe the floor with anyone.

Jia Xiufang saw her daughter return, holding a small iron box in her hand.

“What is that?”

“Canned food.”

“The small store downstairs has this stuff? I’m a bit hungry now. Open it and eat with some bread.” Jia Xiufang sat up.

Xiao Qian clutched the canned food tightly and took some dry food out of her bag,”

Mom, I’ll make you instant noodles with sausage. I’ll eat the canned food myself, it’s oily.”

“Is this girl really protecting her food?” Jia Xiufang laughed.

She wouldn’t let anyone else eat what he squeezed out of the teeth for her.

Xiao Qian held the heavy can in her hand, afraid her mother would sneak a bite while she wasn’t looking. She got up to make instant noodles for her mother.

It was past midnight when Chen Zilong returned, and Xiao Qian hadn’t slept. She got up when she heard footsteps in the hallway.

“Sis, why didn’t you sleep?” Chen Zilong saw Xiao Qian come out.

“I want to have a chat with you.”

“If you want to lecture me, just forget it.” He hated all the nagging from these women.

Xiao Qian kicked him in the butt, and Chen Zilong’s forward-leaning body landed on the door while opening it.

She opened the door and entered the room. This room was smaller than hers and her mother’s, and she wasn’t willing to spend more money on a playboy.

The foolish boy only knew about playing games and paid no attention to such details.

Xiao Qian sat on the sofa in the room, and Chen Zilong sat on the bed, yawning.

“Sis, what do you want to say? Hurry up, I’m sleepy.”

“Would you like not to go to school, play games every day? And to get paid for playing games!”

“What?! Sis, what are you talking about?” Chen Wanku was excited, and he instantly sat upright..
