Yunlai's expression condensed, and his slightly bent body stiffened unconsciously for a moment. He didn't expect that Leng Yiyao knew everything about his family's affairs. In the imperial capital, few people really knew about the existence of his sister.
The family has always been known as the No. 1 family in the empire, but it has always been difficult for him to have children. When his mother was pregnant, she was almost ecstatic. Everyone followed her, saying that she would definitely get a boy in one fell swoop, and even his father was extra cautious. Who knew that the first child born would be a daughter. In addition to being extremely disappointed, the mother inevitably fell into bias and was always cold towards her daughter.
My father was also in a bad mood at that time. He turned a blind eye and pretended that he didn't know anything. As time went by, everyone in the clan had a normal attitude towards her. In fact, in the early years, my sister was treated harshly because of her gender. After knowing that after his birth, the family's incense was inherited, he changed his attitude slightly. It's a pity that he had to undergo various trainings early on and almost never went to school. Everything, including etiquette, various knowledge, business skills...
Everything is afraid of a comparison. His side is full of people, but his sister An Lan's side is getting quieter and quieter.
She is only a little over a year older than him, but at a young age, her sister already knows what reality is.
Later, when he couldn't stand it anymore, he suggested to his father that he send his sister to study abroad. Although most countries favor boys over girls, there are still a few countries that can truly achieve equality between men and women. This gift lasts for many years. For such a long time, he has actually been feeling guilty towards his sister. This is why, when she said she wanted to study at Shengde High School, he only hesitated for a moment before agreeing.
However, he did not expect that An Lan, who had never appeared in public before, would be revealed to Leng Yiyao in just two classes.
He gave Leng Yiyao a serious look: "How do you know?"
Because of Homer? The military does have channels that are unimaginable to ordinary people, but he doesn't think that Hemmer would be free enough to investigate these things.
An Lan was originally a female and was not qualified to inherit the family at all. In the eyes of people like Hemo, she was afraid that she was not even qualified to investigate.
His rhetorical question was tantamount to answering Leng Yiyao's question.
Everyone in the class had expressions of "Oh no!" because of this reversal of plot!
I thought she was Yunlai's girlfriend, but in an instant, she turned into my sister
"'Shadow' isn't just for you." Leng Yiyao gave Yunlai a meaningful look, threw the textbook on the table into the drawer, and slowly stood up.
Yunlai's eyes suddenly froze!
When Leng Yiyao first came to the imperial capital, he indeed appointed "Shadow" to investigate Leng Yiyao. I am afraid that most of the wealthy families in the imperial capital had done similar things. However, he really did not expect that Leng Yiyao It was actually clear who investigated her and what channels were used.
But an organization like "Shadow" has never been known for its rigor and never mentioned the origins of its customers. Where did Leng Yiyao come from to open their mouths
The same question mark flashed through the hearts of several people in the special class at the same time.
Leng Yiyao still smiled leisurely. The most mysterious gray existence "Shadow" in the entire imperial capital has always been a hidden hand of the Jins family. For arms dealers, information channels are the basis for survival. If they are not top-notch, it is tantamount to putting their heads under the blue sky and waiting to be harvested.
Now that she has reached a cooperation agreement with the Kings family, she now has a certain say in this "shadow" that only exists through word of mouth, but rarely has direct dealings with it.
Yunlai lowered his eyes and said in a slightly helpless tone: "When you first came to the imperial capital, I was just curious about your origins and had no ill intentions. You should know this." Otherwise, he would not let all the family members The restaurants and hotels treat Leng Yiyao as a distinguished guest.
"So, I didn't go out of my way to make things difficult for your sister, right?" Leng Yiyao raised her chin and smiled elegantly at An Lan, who was standing behind Yunlai with a slightly pale face. If someone else dared to provoke her like this, how could she still stand here and be safe? If she doesn't peel off a layer of her face in public, she won't be called Leng Yiyao.
An Lan's expression suddenly froze, as if she couldn't imagine how a woman could say "making things difficult" so smoothly in front of everyone.
Don’t you think the empire’s education for women is famous for being strict
No matter how cruel you are in your heart, your mouth is still gentle and sweet
Why, when she said it like this, everyone in the class looked calm and accustomed to it
Leng Yiyao…
An Lan chewed over and over again all Leng Yiyao's words and deeds this morning.
It turns out that this is Leng Yiyao...
"I owe you a favor." Yunlai straightened up, smiled softly at Leng Yiyao for a long time, and said nothing else, only expressing his attitude.
When smart people talk to each other, there is no need to be too clear.
Yunlai knew that his sister's words and actions today were too thoughtless, but after all, he couldn't bear to embarrass his sister in front of others, so he shouldered everything on his own head, without talking nonsense or being verbose. This was his style.
Leng Yiyao nodded, her eyes lightly passing over the tired-looking An Lan's face. Although I don't know why she is so hostile to him, fortunately, this person is not too stupid and knows when enough is enough.
Do you want to make a good impression on the teacher, so you have to take her to take the exam together? She didn't believe this reason.
"Jingle Bell-"
The bell for the end of get out of class suddenly rang, and everyone who had watched a good show let out a sigh of relief.
Rhodes sighed in his heart, hiss, I don't know if it's an illusion...
The goddess's aura became stronger and stronger, and she was clearly lifeless, but as long as she frowned slightly, the aura of calmness and self-confidence would emerge spontaneously, making everyone afraid to take a breath.
Seeing Leng Yiyao leaving the classroom, An Lan looked away lonely.
"Do you see clearly?" Yunlai didn't want to blame her. Although she was older than him, he always felt sorry for the harsh treatment of his sister back then, and over time, he unconsciously wanted to take care of her. He knew that she was not usually such a superficial character, but...
People will probably always be affected by obsession...
She traveled thousands of miles and suddenly returned to China. When she asked to come to the special class to study, he knew that she came entirely for Leng Yiyao. It’s just that Leng Yiyao is probably really poisonous. It's okay when you don't care. Once you care, you become obsessed with it. When you dig out the tip of the iceberg, it feels like you are addicted and you can never let go. I can't wait to see her full face.
The other students around have already resumed their usual bustle. Leng Yiyao didn't get angry, which meant that she was willing to give Yunlai face. They naturally wanted the class to be harmonious, so they didn't bother the siblings when they talked. Everyone moderately gave them space to talk alone.
An Lan stood there for a long time, calming down, and then rubbed his cheeks for a long time, revealing a gentle and helpless face. "Did I go a little too far just now? I just want to see... what kind of person is it that can make him so interested..."
"he"? Which "he"
Liao Sijie and Rhodes, who were originally prepared to say no to evil, were about to leave sideways. When they heard these words, their expressions suddenly became dazed. So, everything just happened was a temptation? This Miss An Lan is not a real provocation at all? Just want to see Leng Yiyao's true temperament
Yunlai stared at her sister's face quietly, seeing the emptiness and bitterness in her eyes, and patted her shoulder helplessly, "Don't think too much."
How could he not know the complexity and helplessness in his sister's heart? She is a kind-hearted person. Although she was born into a famous family, she has not been treated kindly by time. She doesn't fight or grab, and in the end, the only person she cares about may not be able to keep her. The most deviant thing was that she just begged him to bring her to see with her own eyes what kind of person Leng Yiyao was.
Yun Lai is much taller than An Lan. If they hadn't just heard them admit that they were siblings, it would be easy for people to misunderstand that they are siblings.
At this moment, Yunlai just gently supported her back, with a secretive look in his eyes. This made Liao Sijie and Rhodes so full of questions that they couldn't even ask them.
Who doesn't have some secrets, who doesn't have some obscure private matters that cannot be said. Now that we know that An Lan is not a bad person and has no ill intentions towards Leng Yiyao, it would be a bit rude to ask further.
The two looked at each other and consciously isolated the words they shouldn't have heard. They left the classroom with natural expressions and relaxed their limbs.
Today, Monday, the third class is physical education. But the teacher didn’t know the reason why he didn’t come to the venue early in the morning.
When the school bell rang and no one was seen, everyone simply chose their favorite sports equipment and spread out to do some activities.
An Lan and Yun Lai did not show up for this class, but Leng Yiyao and Liao Sijie played badminton together.
The opponent is another girl in the class, with a slender figure and nimble movements.
Liao Sijie stayed true to his true nature when playing, and was very active. He stood in the front row and was responsible for approaching the ball. Leng Yiyao stood on the baseline to block the opponent's final attack. The two people, silent and moving, seemed to match up perfectly, which later attracted many people to come and watch.
After a hearty game, the three people, including Liao Sijie, were all soaked in sweat in their sportswear. They turned around and looked at Leng Yiyao, and found that even the ends of her hair were dry. She suddenly felt , this is not human anymore.
"You were just warming up, weren't you?" Seeing Chi Guoguo's 3-0 score, Leng Yiyao didn't even breathe at all, and the other two female players didn't even know what to say. what.
"Huh?" Leng Yiyao looked back at Li Sijie leisurely. She could hardly straighten her waist. She was panting and her face was red. "Warming up? It doesn't count, it doesn't feel like it's done yet. The event ends as soon as it begins.”
As soon as she finished speaking, Liao Sijie and the two female classmates almost groaned and knelt on the ground.
This, this... this, their feelings, they worked so hard to get like this, in Leng Yiyao's eyes, it wasn't even a warm-up
Over there, a few boys were playing ball, and from a distance I could see the girls buzzing with laughter. The onlookers have become accustomed to Leng Yiyao's toughness and know that she is telling the truth and has no intention of showing off, but it is this that makes people laugh even more breathlessly.
“The event is over before it even starts”….
Is there a more awesome victory speech than this
Leng Yiyao turned around and was about to signal everyone to keep a low profile. Unexpectedly, she turned around and saw Walker standing outside the door, seemingly looking over here.
"You guys can play, I'll go out for a walk." Leng Yiyao gave the racket to a girl next to her and smiled casually, causing others to whisper, "The master is gone, let's go toe-to-toe"!
When Leng Yiyao changed her clothes and came out, Walker was already standing at the door, waiting for her for a long time.
"What's wrong? Are you looking for me?" Leng Yiyao couldn't help but ask. During the first class in the morning, he didn't seem to have any special behavior, but now he seems to have something to say.
Walker just curled his lips quietly and said, "Someone is waiting for you in my office."
office…
Leng Yiyao suddenly understood.
She met M more than once in Walker's office. Thinking about it, it was also because he was afraid of attracting the attention of outsiders that he asked Walker to come over and deliver the message.
She nodded and walked with Walker towards his office.
As soon as she entered the door, sure enough, M, who was sitting and sipping tea, smiled at her, with calm eyes and elegant posture.
Today he was wearing sunglasses, covering his eyes, and smoky gray clothes, which perfectly complemented his temperament. He looked a little bit disillusioned with the secular world. The back view of a man drinking tea alone was almost like a painting.
The two of them had not met each other since they came back from a neighboring country. Today, he suddenly came to see her, and she realized that this person seemed to know what she was doing at any time.
He waved to her, with a hint of warmth in his expression: "It's not very convenient to go to the Marshal's Mansion, so I came directly here to find you."
He was explaining to her why he suddenly appeared here today.
Seeing that the two of them had something to talk about, Walker directly lent his office to them without further ado and went out.
"What's the matter?" Leng Yiyao didn't know where M was. No, it should be said that she didn't go out of her way to check everything about him. One was due to blood ties, he was her uncle after all, and the other was because she was unwilling to infringe on his privacy at will. Back then, he "saved" her without knowing her identity. They had never been hostile. Besides, she usually wouldn't go out of her way to find him. His status was sensitive, as he was of royal blood and the young master of the Ice Domain clan. She adhered to the principle of respect for his movements and rarely interfered with him. However, his sudden visit today obviously cannot be without reason.
"I went to the palace today." He put down the teacup and spoke lightly. If an outsider heard it, it would be like thunder exploding.
"Did you go to the palace?" Leng Yiyao looked at him in confusion. Wasn't he always unwilling to have anything to do with the royal family? How could he appear there for no reason? Could it be that Lu Chen was looking for him
"Don't worry." M roughly guessed what she was thinking and smiled slightly, but there was no smile in his eyes: "Lu Chen and I didn't meet each other. It was because I saw a familiar face entering the palace that I followed him. past."
who? He actually needs to keep track of him personally
Leng Yiyao became more and more curious.
"Who?" Being able to enter and leave the palace and attract his attention, I guess he is not an ordinary person...
M's eyes suddenly darkened slightly. Only then did Leng Yiyao realize that even though her eyes were silver, the depth of her eyes could change. For example, at this moment, she could clearly feel that after he took off his sunglasses, his eyes were bottomless, as if the glacier had solidified, and his whole person suddenly became cold. But even so, his appearance still feels like crystal, incomparably exquisite.
But he turned his face sideways and looked at her quietly: "When we were in neighboring countries, we went to Xile's casino together. Do you remember?"
Siler
"What does the newly opened casino in Floating Light City have to do with the person you met today?" Leng Yiyao's face sank unconsciously.
It would be better if they were from the Imperial Capital, but at such a critical juncture, they turned out to be people from Floating Light City...
"The person I saw today was in the reception room where Siller was at that time." M narrowed his eyes indifferently, his tone slightly cold.
Leng Yiyao recalled it for a moment and nodded slowly: "Is it the room where Mayor Keith of Floating Light City discussed things with Siller?"
M nodded, "When Mayor Case was talking to Siller, that man was guarding the door, and today he entered the imperial palace in the imperial capital."
Leng Yiyao subconsciously thought of Xi Le's personal assistant Aili. "Is he the one in white robe back then?" Ai Li wears white robe all year round, and there has never been an exception for so many years.
To Leng Yiyao's surprise, M shook his head: "No. It looks like a senior executive of that casino."
High-level
This is a bit intriguing... .
That casino was originally the product of the cooperation between Siller and Mayor Case.
That person was most likely a close associate of Siller, but it was also possible that he was an associate of Mayor Case.
If it's the latter, it's 100% a spy from a neighboring country, but if it's the former...
Leng Yiyao slowly pursed her lips, her face looking quiet...
