Chapter 1081: Chapter 1081: Star Era Guide (31)
Xie Wanwan thought this in her heart.
People around her started to jeer, Xie Wanwan told them not to make a fuss, but there was a smile on her face.
The staff came over from there.
Xie Wanwan was pushed out by her companions.
Xie Wanwan’s smile grew even brighter.
However…
The staff bypassed her.
The scene suddenly became quiet.
Xie Wanwan’s smile froze.
Was it not for her?
Xie Wanwan was stuck in place, not knowing whether to move or not.
The gazes thrown towards her, made Xie Wanwan feel like she was being ridiculed, these people were laughing at her…
“It’s not for her, why did she step forward?”
“Tsk, I almost believed it just now.”
“If she was really the long-lost daughter of the Wun Family, how could there be no news at all.”
“Exactly… she really thinks having Psychic Power A+ is such a big deal.”
All Xie Wanwan could hear were these voices, her delicate body slightly trembling.
“Look over there.”
The crowd’s gaze followed the staff’s movement, someone was coming that way, led by their familiar Jing Lan, beside him was a somewhat unfamiliar girl.
However, some people recognized her.
She was a student of Paleo-Biology, also Jing Lan’s student.
Everyone suddenly held their breath.
Zhou Jue was originally Jing Lan’s, his presence here, what does it mean?
A bold guess appeared in everyone’s mind.
Sure enough, the staff stopped in front of them: “Miss Chuzheng, Zhou Jue has been delivered.”
Chuzheng signed the paperwork.
“Please sign this as well.” The staff presented another document.
“I didn’t buy it.”
Staff: “It’s a gift from the Wun Family.”
“…”
“Why would the Wun Family send me a mecha for no reason?”
This question put the staff in a difficult position.
He was just a delivery person!
How would he know why the Wun Family wanted to send you this!
“Send it back, I don’t want it.”
The staff was troubled: “Miss Chuzheng, we’re responsible for delivery, not returns. If you want to return it… please negotiate with the Wun Family yourself.”
The implication being: once sold, the goods are not to be returned.
Chuzheng: “…”
Crafty merchants.
Chuzheng held back her anger and signed for the mecha.
Chuzheng turned her head, looking at Jing Lan: “Shall we take a look?”
Jing Lan lifted his foot slightly, but it didn’t land, he slowly withdrew.
“No need.”
He was no longer able to start Zhou Jue.
What’s the use of looking?
Even if Zhou Jue returned to his hands, it would remain cold and locked in the warehouse.
Jing Lan tightened his grip, resolutely turned around, and left.
“Jing Lan.”
Jing Lan walked faster.
Chuzheng and the staff completed all procedures and chased after Jing Lan as he left.
–
“Did you see that? The girl signed it, she bought it.”
“Thirteen billion! Our school is hiding such a wealthy person.”
“Who knows if she really bought it? Maybe someone else bought it, and she just signed for it?”
“That’s possible…”
“I live in the same dormitory building as her, you don’t know, every morning her breakfast is made with fresh ingredients.”
“Really?”
“Hey hey hey, this mecha was given to her by the Wun Family.”
“What kind of relationship does she have with the Wun Family?”
“No idea…”
Before the staff spoke, Xie Wanwan was pushed out.
“Wanwan?” Her dorm mate asked curiously: “Why is the mecha given to her?”
Xie Wanwan: “…”
How would she know!
Xie Wanwan’s heart was in chaos.
Did the Wun Family find out something?
It shouldn’t be…
But if they didn’t discover anything, why didn’t they publicly acknowledge their own identity?
“Wanwan…”
“Don’t ask me, I don’t know.”
Xie Wanwan’s tone was not very good, she finished speaking and then lowered her head and left the crowd.
Her dorm mate was suddenly snapped at, the expression on her face slightly unhappy.
–
Wun Family.
Old Madam Wun sat looking aggrieved, Wun Qing rubbed his brow.
“Grandma, how could you just send it to the school like this?”
“My granddaughter liked it, how could I not send it?” Old Madam Wun said: “I didn’t expect them to deliver it so publicly!”
“…”
Wun Qing had an even bigger headache.
Because of Zhou Jue’s connection, everyone now knew that the Wun Family had sent a mecha to Empire Academy, the recipient being Zhou Jue’s purchaser: Chuzheng.
The Star Era online was abuzz with discussion.
All sorts of speculations about the relationship between Jing Lan and Chuzheng.
Additionally, involving the Wun Family.
“How did my granddaughter get associated with that Jing Lan?” Old Madam Wun became a bit nervous thinking about this.
“She is a student in the Paleo-Biology department, Jing Lan is her instructor.”
Old Madam Wun frowned for a moment, then relaxed.
Old Madam Wun’s relaxed eyebrows furrowed again: “Is my granddaughter very wealthy?”
“…Probably.”
Wun Qing was not too sure about Chuzheng’s assets.
But it’s certain she is wealthy.
Anyone who can buy Zhou Jue must be rich, right?
Old Madam Wun was anxious: “Will she still acknowledge us?”
“…”
Wun Qing felt that if they didn’t bring Chuzheng back soon, something might happen.
“Since things have escalated, Grandma don’t do anything reckless, I’ll go look for Xie Wanwan now.”
Because Xie Wanwan’s intentions were not simple and unclear, they hadn’t taken action.
But now, with Old Madam Wun’s high-profile gifting of a mecha to Chuzheng.
Xie Wanwan couldn’t possibly be unaware, could she?
They could only come forward forcibly.
–
Xie Wanwan didn’t expect Wun Qing to come looking for her.
She instinctively knew she shouldn’t go, but she couldn’t suppress the little bit of hope in her heart, so she followed Wun Qing away.
Wun Qing didn’t speak along the way, his expression revealing nothing.
Xie Wanwan got into the car and began to regret, secretly sent a message to He Ye.
The hovercar gradually came to a stop.
“Get off.”
Xie Wanwan glanced outside, it wasn’t the Wun Family mansion she was familiar with.
Wun Qing let the others stay outside and took Xie Wanwan inside.
“This is my uncle’s house.” Wun Qing opened the door, motioning for Xie Wanwan to enter.
Xie Wanwan’s heart skipped.
His uncle, wasn’t that…
The house was a bit empty, not much stuff.
Wun Qing didn’t linger downstairs, he directly went to the study upstairs.
In the study, there was a large portrait, and when Xie Wanwan saw the portrait, she knew Wun Qing knew everything.
“This is my uncle.” Wun Qing looked at Xie Wanwan: “Does it seem familiar to Miss Xie?”
How could it not be familiar.
This face was very similar to Chuzheng.
Xie Wanwan’s body couldn’t help but tremble.
Wun Qing’s gaze was sharp: “If I hadn’t met Chuzheng, I might not have doubted you. After all, we’ve never seen my uncle’s wife, you might just resemble her mother.”
Back then, my uncle feared Grandma’s opposition, did something reckless, protected her very well.
“Miss Xie, can you tell me how you obtained the identity chip?”
Xie Wanwan’s face turned pale, her eyes darted around, not knowing where to place them.
“I… I want to go home.”
Xie Wanwan turned and tried to leave, but the door wouldn’t open.
