A familiar voice reached her ears. Jiang Tang’s eyes widened, her gaze filled with surprise and delight as she looked at her.
"Sister?"
"You finally decided to get rid of that mark on your face?"
’This is wonderful! My sister is finally back to her old self. In my mories, she was always this bewitchingly beautiful.’
Hearing this, Jiang Yunnuan asked curiously, "Why do you say that? Did you know the mark on my face could be removed?"
Jiang Tang nodded.
"Of course. Your face used to be perfectly clear, with nothing on it. Then that mark suddenly appeared. You must have thought you were too pretty and were afraid of attracting trouble, so you put it there on purpose."
Jiang Yunnuan: "..."
’She had thought Jiang Tang might know so inside story about the mark, but after hearing her explanation, it was clear she had just misunderstood.’
’Oh well. I’ll deal with the mark later.’
She reached out, unbuckled her seatbelt, and took Jiang Tang’s hand. "Alright. Let’s go. You’re coming with ."
"Where are we going? Wait, where is this? How did I get here?"
Jiang Tang froze for a mont. She instinctively looked around and was shocked to find herself in a beautiful Flying Car, the scenery outside completely unfamiliar.
She tried to rember, but all she could recall was leaving to et her sister at their designated spot. After that, everything was a blank.
’What happened?’
’Why can’t I rember what happened next at all?’
Seeing this, a flicker passed through Jiang Yunnuan’s eyes, and she lied without batting an eyelash.
"Have you not been resting well lately? Fu Yuan and I went to our eting spot and waited for a long ti, but we never saw you."
"We had no choice but to split up and search for you. It took us most of the day, but we finally found you passed out on the side of the road, so we brought you here."
Jiang Tang: "..."
"Huh? I passed out? Why don’t I rember anything...?"
’How could I have just passed out for no reason?’
’Could it be true, what my sister said? That I haven’t been resting well lately?’
"It’s okay. You probably don’t rember because you just woke up and your head is still a little foggy. Maybe you’ll rember in a few days."
Jiang Yunnuan soothed her, putting on an act and spinning a web of comforting lies.
Her mories erased, Jiang Tang fell for it completely, nodding again and again.
"Mhm, you’re right, Sister!"
A few minutes later, Jiang Yunnuan brought Jiang Tang back to the villa.
Fu Yuan had already finished his negotiations with the seller and was just waiting for them to return to handle the ownership transfer.
When he saw them, he imdiately got up from the sofa and hurried over to greet them.
"Hello, Brother-in-law."
Jiang Tang greeted him bashfully, her head bowed low.
It had been over a month since they parted in the Mist Forest, and for so reason, she felt that her brother-in-law’s presence had undergone an earth-shattering change, making her afraid to look him in the eye.
’He must have had an imnse breakthrough in his Cultivation.’
"Mhm."
Fu Yuan nodded gently in response, then pulled up a light screen and displayed it in front of her.
"There’s a form here you need to fill out. Please look it over carefully and make sure you don’t make any mistakes."
"A change of ownership form?"
Jiang Tang’s eyes widened. She turned to Jiang Yunnuan and asked, "Sister, am I supposed to fill this out with my information?"
"That’s right. Go ahead and fill it out. Once you’re done, this house will be yours."
Hearing this, Jiang Tang was so startled her eyes grew even wider. She shook her head repeatedly.
"No, no way, Sister! I can’t accept this! I’m only sixteen, what do I need a house for?"
’Besides, it’s so expensive.’
’Fifty million! You couldn’t get that many Star Coins even if you sold ten tis over.’
’In just two more years, I’ll be an adult. Then, the Empire’s marriage system will assign a Contractor.’
’My Contractor will buy a house; there’s no need to waste my sister’s money.’
"Who says a sixteen-year-old can’t own a house? I’m giving it to you, so just take it."
"You helped find Si Xie and told in ti that Ming Ye was a wanted man. You’ve been a huge help. This is a thank-you gift. No refusals. Now, hurry up and fill out the form."
’Although the girls who bullied her have all had their Cultivation destroyed, Jiang Tang has no combat ability herself. It doesn’t take soone with Cultivation to bully her.’
’There was no way Jiang Yunnuan would let her go back to the care center.’
Jiang Tang continued to wave her hands in refusal.
"I just ntioned it in passing, how could that be considered a help? And even if it did help, it was the least I could do. How could I accept a thank-you gift from you, Sister?"
"But... was Brother-in-law Si Xie really found? That’s wonderful..."
As for Ming Ye, he was now a wanted criminal, so his situation was a sensitive topic.
Therefore, even though Jiang Tang was incredibly curious about his circumstances, she suppressed the urge to ask any more questions.
"Yes, Si Xie has been found. I actually ca to see you today to thank you and your friend who provided the photo in person."
"We can talk about that later. First, fill out the form. No more refusals. I said it’s for you, and I an it. If you refuse again, I’ll get angry."
Jiang Tang: "..."
’She felt terribly conflicted.’
’Accepting sothing so valuable would make her feel anxious and guilty, but if she refused, she was afraid her sister would genuinely be upset.’
’Sigh... If only my brothers were here.’
’They could help decide what to do.’
In the end, under Jiang Yunnuan’s mix of persuasion and threats, Jiang Tang nervously filled out the form and submitted it.
Thirty seconds later, the information change was approved, and the ownership transfer was complete.
The villa was now her personal property.
Jiang Yunnuan took her hand and explained patiently.
"Tangtang, I live right across the street, just a few minutes’ walk away. I’ll show you my place later. From now on, you’ll live here."
"This villa has an incredibly strong defense system, so bad guys can’t break in. There’s also an All-Purpose Robot to keep you company. If you feel lonely or scared, you can call Jiang Chen, Jiang Zhan, Jiang Yan, or Jiang Wang to co stay with you."
"Mhm, and if there’s a boy you like, you can stake your claim early. In short, you don’t have to go back to the care center anymore."
The last sentence made Jiang Tang blush and her heart race. She protested in a hushed voice.
"Sister, I don’t like any Beastn."
"Is that so? A girl as pretty as you, Tangtang, must have a lot of Beastn who like her. When I was looking for you, I overheard so people talking about you and Song Xingheng. They seed to be saying he likes you. What’s the story there?"
Jiang Yunnuan reached out and pinched her cheek, her gaze turning profound.
’Those girls were probably bullying Tangtang because of that Song boy. If Tangtang doesn’t even like him, then what was the point of the tornt she suffered today?’
"He’s a teammate one of my brothers recruited. I’ve only been on a few missions with him, that’s all. We’re not close."
"But he has been fawning over lately. I do my best to avoid him, and we’ve barely had any contact in private. How could that have started a rumor?"
Jiang Tang bit her lip, feeling a surge of anger.
’No wonder that psycho Feng Yinyin has been picking on lately, even threatening to strip naked and have soone teach a lesson. She must have heard those rumors.’
