Reborn As Lucky Star

Jiao Lei's expression was the same as Li Fuhong's.

She suddenly became Li Fuhong's rightful wife, and her mindset changed as well.

Perhaps she was still cautious in front of Li Fuhong, but in front of outsiders, she became increasingly domineering.

In her eyes, Li Fuhong's interests were her own interests. The appearance of Yue Qingqing caused such a big order to fall through; how could she possibly remain calm?

Among the three, only Li Tongyu looked at Yue Qingqing's departing figure with inexplicable envy.

He was also a student at Zhuancheng No. 1 Middle School and had heard countless stories about Yue Qingqing over the past three years.

Only after seeing her in person did he realize that the girl's brilliance was beyond imagination.

Even someone as influential as Qian Zhengxin could leave his father at will, yet when he received a call from Yue Qingqing, his tone was distinctly intimate.

Recently, not only his father, but even the two elders of the Li Family were consciously grooming him.

But the clever Li Tongyu could see that he was merely a fallback option for them.

The true heir in their minds could only be Yue Qingqing.

Li Tongyu's eyes were complicated.

He was like a lamp in the daylight, no matter how hard he tried to shine, he could never compete with the brilliance of the sun.

——

The small episode at the airport did not affect Yue Qingqing's mood.

Her life philosophy was just like that.

There's no need to waste time, including feelings, on people who aren't worth it.

Jiang Jingze, however, looked unwell, his gaze toward his girlfriend filled with heartache.

He couldn't imagine what terrifying experiences Qingqing might have encountered if she had grown up in such a family.

On the surface, the Li Family appeared glamorous, but everyone had their own agenda.

When they gathered, they only thought about siphoning resources from the "family."

At this thought, Jiang Jingze put down everything in his hands and turned to embrace Qingqing.

Yue Qingqing's slender waist was tightly encircled in the man's arms.

She could feel the irregular rhythm of his heartbeat.

Every beat was an expression of his heartbreak for her.

Yue Qingqing couldn't help but laugh, standing on tiptoe to pat Jiang Jingze's head.

"Don't worry, aren't I doing just fine?"

She wasn't ordinary. When she grew up and realized something was wrong, she would surely find a way to leave.

She wouldn't foolishly let them take advantage of her, would she?

If she imagined herself living in the Li Family, Yue Qingqing definitely wouldn't reveal her abilities.

She might even have slipped away upon finding her first mentor.

As he inhaled the fragrance of her hair, Jiang Jingze gradually calmed down.

"I wasn't part of your past, but I definitely won't be absent from your future."

This statement was both a promise and a vow. Yue Qingqing sighed softly and wrapped her arms around her lover's waist.

——

The Yue Family had been anxiously waiting since early morning.

Zhang Ying had been to Beijing to see her daughter before, but Yue Jiandong hadn't seen her for an entire semester.

The longing in his heart was indescribable, as he paced back and forth inside the house from early morning.

Zhang Ying slapped him, "What are you doing, grinding something? Stop pacing, you're making my eyes dizzy."

It took a moment for Yue Jiandong to respond before he understood.

"What are you talking about? I'm not a donkey, grinding what? I'm just worried."

"Didn't you call just now? They said they'd be here in an hour or so, just wait."

Even though she said that, Yue Jiandong couldn't help but continue pacing.

To divert his attention, he looked at Yue Xiaohu, who had returned a day earlier.

"Xiaohu, do you also have final exams at your military school? How did you do?"

Military schools needed to cultivate soldiers with both quality and cultural knowledge, grasping both training and academics.

The final exams were no easier than those at regular colleges.

Yue Xiaohu didn't expect his uncle to suddenly ask this question and couldn't help scratching his head.

"Shouldn't you take some quick-acting heart pills before asking?"

After all, as the parent of a Scholar God, you probably haven't seen any low scores in your lifetime.

Yue Jiandong chuckled, "You brat, since coming back from Beijing, you've become quite cheeky, really blending in over there, huh? Be honest and explain."

Just as Yue Xiaohu was thinking of an excuse to brush it off, his ears perked up.

"Hey, I hear footsteps on the stairs. It must be sister and brother-in-law."

At the mention of "brother-in-law," Yue Jiandong's face immediately darkened, and he no longer cared about asking about Yue Xiaohu's grades.

Yue Xiaohu breathed a sigh of relief.

He thought to himself, sorry, Brother Jiang, I had no choice but to divert the trouble. Consider it an emergency risk aversion.
