Chapter 97 Future Plans
Back at the villa, before the two even alighted from the car, they saw that the villa was brightly lit, which inevitably worried Fang Yu. He could foresee the bombardment Jiang Wei was about to unleash.
The two sneaked stealthily into the living room.
No one?
Good, Fang Yu patted his chest, and flopped down on the sofa.
Snap!
The door suddenly opened.
Both of them shivered at the same time, like startled rabbits. Following the sound, they saw Jiang Wei, clad in pajamas, walking down the stairs with an icy face.
It's all over!
Fang Yu looked helplessly at Jiang Xiaoxiao; the girl seemed even more timid than he was, hiding behind Fang Yu, not daring to even look.
Brother Yu felt like crying.
Wasn't this little sister-in-law usually quite chatty? But she becomes such a coward in front of her own sister. Where did today's glorious image go?
Jiang Wei sat down across from them with a frosty face, and Fang Yu and Jiang Xiaoxiao, as if jolted, both stood up at the same time, looking embarrassed and frightened at Boss Jiang.
Jiang Wei's gaze slid over their faces, and with a cold tone, she commanded: "Sit!"
Fang Yu looked at her, puzzled.
This woman, she could have just straight-out scolded them, but she always finds ways to torment people's souls. She's simply a fiend!
Jiang Xiaoxiao sat down pecking like a chick.
Seeing this, Fang Yu could only sit down as well.
"Eh? Brother-in-law, don't run away?" Jiang Xiaoxiao looked at her brother-in-law in confusion, then stepped forward to pull him.
In Jiang Xiaoxiao's eyes, Fang Yu was an idol-like figure, how could he ruin his image like that, running around like a thief? Even if her sister was unreasonable, Jiang Xiaoxiao would still argue for what was fair.
Sigh.
Fang Yu didn't want to run either; this woman, with a frosty face, was obviously on the verge of a rampage.
"Nonsense, I'm not running, just stretching my muscles," Fang Yu said with an awkward smile, pushing away Jiang Xiaoxiao's kind gesture.
Jiang Wei couldn't care less about him sitting there; her gaze darkened as she asked, "Tell me, where did you go today?"
"What?" Jiang Xiaoxiao blurted out in fright, "No, nowhere?"
This was a classic example of a barefaced lie. Returning so late and still claiming to have been nowhere. This young lady's lying skills were really hopeless.
"I didn't ask you!" Jiang Wei's voice was icy cold, her gaze fixed on Fang Yu, "Tell me honestly, where did you really go?"
Fang Yu hemmed and hawed, his clever brain now as if it crashed, incapable of fabricating any decent excuse.
Jiang Xiaoxiao suddenly stood up, saying, "Sister, brother-in-law went with me to the school's study room to read."
"Xiaoxiao!" Jiang Wei frowned, "You're lying too!"
Jiang Xiaoxiao panicked.
From her sister's eyes, she knew she wasn't believed!
"I went to the school this afternoon; how dare you lie to me!" Jiang Wei was furious!
"Sister..." Jiang Xiaoxiao looked on the verge of tears.
Fang Yu couldn't stand by idly, he looked up and said earnestly, "You don't need to scare Xiaoxiao. I'll confess. This started last Wednesday—
"Xiaoxiao and her best friend were eating out when they were harassed by some thugs. Luckily, our Xiaoxiao is brave enough to protect her classmate. Unexpectedly, Xiaoxiao injured them, and those thugs, unwilling to let it go, extorted Xiaoxiao, demanding a million!" Fang Yu said, then took a deep breath.
"Is what he said true?" Jiang Wei looked at her sister.
"Mhm mhm..." Jiang Xiaoxiao nodded repeatedly.
"So you beat those people up for Xiaoxiao?" Jiang Wei scrutinized.
Fang Yu smiled, "That's nothing, I thought it was something big. You don't have to be polite with me, if you want to thank me, sure, I won't shy away from accepting your gratitude."
"Shut up!" Jiang Wei suddenly shouted, "Do you know because you fought those thugs, Xiaoxiao got reported?! It's all because of you!"
"Sister, you can't bully brother-in-law!" Jiang Xiaoxiao suddenly stepped in front of Fang Yu.
Tears of gratitude welled up in Fang Yu's eyes.
This little sister-in-law was not acknowledged in vain.
Jiang Wei was about to explode with anger—
What brother-in-law?
Where did this brother-in-law come from?
Did this little brat get brainwashed by that bastard Fang Yu? How could she have changed her calling to brother-in-law in just a few days?
"You little brat, stop calling people names!"
"I'll call him that, and you can't bully my brother-in-law!" Jiang Xiaoxiao said.
"How can you still defend him? If it wasn't for you and your classmates frequently going to those indecent places, how could you have run into such thugs? Cutting classes is bad enough, but you also got into fights with hoodlums from the streets?!" Jiang Wei interrogated.
"Sis—" Jiang Xiaoxiao's face went pale as she was questioned, "I was wrong."
"You know you're wrong now? You say this every time, but I will not let you off this time!" Jiang Wei said.
"Sis, what do you want to do?" Jiang Xiaoxiao suddenly had an ominous premonition.
"It's useless to blame me, you made the mistake yourself. The leaders of No. 1 Middle School have already called me, saying you've made a big mistake and the whole school knows about it, so they are expelling you. I am planning on sending you to Yanjing to study!" Jiang Wei said.
"Ah? Sister, I was wrong, I don't want to go to Yanjing!"
Jiang Xiaoxiao was about to cry.
Jiang Wei couldn't be bothered with her, turned around to go upstairs, and halfway through said, "You better think it over yourself."
Snap!
The door closed.
Fang Yu walked up to Jiang Xiaoxiao and patted her shoulder, saying, "Don't be afraid, you have your brother-in-law here."
"But—"
"No worries. A woman like your sister can only be conquered by a man like me. As long as I conquer her, won't everything fall into place?" Fang Yu said with a smile.
Hearing this, Jiang Xiaoxiao thought it made sense, and murmured with pouted lips, "Then brother-in-law... you go, but remember... to bring a condom—"
"—"
Fang Yu was almost struck by lightning.
...
Going upstairs, Fang Yu lingered back and forth in front of Jiang Wei's door without entering. At this moment, this woman was definitely in a rage, and barging in would only make things worse.
After thinking it over, Fang Yu returned to his own room, deciding to persuade her another day.
...
In the dead of night.
Fang Yu sat cross-legged.
The Divine Dragon Technique activated, filling his body with a more abundant Inner Essence than ever before.
"A bunch of ignoramuses, calling the powerful Inner Essence 'Inner Strength'... heh."
"The grudge between the Xiao Family and the Sun Family is almost settled. Next up are the Zhao Family and the Jin Family in Yanjing!"
Fang Yu's eyes suddenly snapped open.
In Jiangzhou, the masterminds behind the extermination of the Fang Family had always been the Zhao Family and the Jin Family in Yanjing... The Sun Family had always been just accomplices, with the Xiao Family not even worthy of being foot soldiers; exterminating them did not quell the hatred in his heart.
...
After thinking a bit, Fang Yu took out his phone and dialed a number.
"Young Master..." The other end of the phone sounded somewhat excited.
"Old Gu, I need to trouble you with something."
"Please give your orders, Young Master."
"The power dynamics in Jiangzhou might reshuffle, help me keep an eye on it, don't let various forces cause chaos..." Fang Yu said, he didn't have too much spare time to deal with these matters...
He spared Ji Qiubai because he indeed seemed fit for the underworld... it also counted as repayment for the time Ji Qiubai took a knife for Fang Yu. If something like today ever happened again, no matter if they were once brothers... Fang Yu would show no mercy.
"Yes."
