177: Chapter 177 Sister: Hello, sister-in-law! (That "sister-in-law" was wonderfully delivered)
The corner of the playground during lunch break, originally a good place to hide away for some peace and quiet, was now a bit noisy.
A few hooligans, who had tailored their school uniforms to be tight-fitting and dyed their hair in various colors, were surrounding Jiang Qianqian, chewing gum and whistling in a sleazy manner.
"Junior Qianqian, don't be so aloof."
The blonde-haired leader reached out with a grin to tug at Jiang Qianqian's backpack strap, "I heard your brother struck it rich? Driving a luxury car to take you to school? We're a bit short on cash lately; can you have your brother lend us some pocket money to use?"
Jiang Qianqian frowned, protecting her backpack tightly as she backed away, her eyes full of disgust: "Get lost! What does my brother's money have to do with you? If you don't leave, I'm calling the teacher!"
"Calling the teacher?" The blonde-haired guy sneered, giving his lackeys a look, and the group immediately tightened their circle, "There isn't even a security camera here; do you think the teacher can hear you? Be good and cough up the money, otherwise..."
His hand hadn't even touched the corner of Jiang Qianqian's clothes yet. Suddenly. A slender, fair hand with neatly trimmed, rounded nails reached over from the side without any warning.
Like an iron pincer, it firmly gripped the blonde-haired guy's wrist. "Crack." A crisp sound of bones grinding. "Ahhh—!!"
The blonde-haired guy let out a shriek like a slaughtered pig, his whole body dropping to its knees, following the twisted angle of his wrist. He looked up in terror, meeting a pair of crimson eyes that held no temperature, looking at him as if he were a dead man.
Jiang Wanqiu had one hand in the pocket of her JK uniform skirt, while the other hand gripped the blonde-haired guy's wrist, looking down at him from above. There was not a trace of expression on that stunningly beautiful face, only a daunting indifference.
"Trash." She parted her vermilion lips slightly, spitting out the two words.
"You... who are you? Let go! It hurts, it hurts, it hurts!" The blonde-haired guy was in so much pain that tears were streaming down his face.
"Who I am is not important." Jiang Wanqiu tilted her head slightly, her silver hair sliding down, her voice as cold as a Siberian wind: "What's important is that you blocked my path and dirtied the air of the person I want to protect."
Before she even finished speaking, she didn't give the others a chance to react. She gave a casual flick of her arm, and that grown man weighing over one hundred and thirty jin was lifted up with one hand as if he were a ragdoll stuffed with cotton! He was half a meter off the ground, his legs kicking wildly.
"In the Wasteland, scum like you who only know how to bully the weak are usually thrown into a shredder to be used as fertilizer." Jiang Wanqiu glanced at the waist-high blue trash can nearby.
"Although this is a civilized society and I can't kill you." "But trash belongs in the trash can." "Off you go!"
She flicked her wrist, and that terrifying, monstrous strength exploded instantly. "Clang—!" The blonde-haired guy traced a perfect parabola in the air, landing headfirst and with precise accuracy into the trash can filled with leftovers and scraps.
His two legs were exposed outside, still twitching and struggling desperately. The surrounding lackeys were all scared silly, each with their mouths wide open, looking at the seemingly frail silver-haired beauty before them as if they were looking at a Tyrannosaurus Rex in human skin.
"Does anyone else want to go in and keep him company?" Jiang Wanqiu clapped her hands, took out a wet wipe with disgust to wipe her fingers, and swept her gaze across the group indifferently.
"No... no need! Big Sister, have mercy!" The group of hooligans were scared out of their wits, scrambling to drag their boss out and fleeing the scene as if they had seen a ghost. The world was quiet again.
Jiang Qianqian hugged her backpack, staring blankly at everything. That scene just now happened too fast, too violently, but also... too cool!
"Are you okay?" Jiang Wanqiu turned around, and the frost on her face melted instantly. She walked up to Jiang Qianqian and helped her straighten her slightly messy collar, her movements as gentle as a big sister:
"In the future, when you encounter trash like this, just take action directly; no need to waste words with them. If you break them, it's on me; if you kill them... ahem, if you kill them, have your brother bury them."
Jiang Qianqian looked at her, the little stars in her eyes almost overflowing. "Sister... you are too awesome!"
She grabbed Jiang Wanqiu's arm, excited to the point of incoherence, "Lifting a person with one hand? Are you Superman? Or did my brother feed you some kind of super-strength pill?"
"Super-strength pill?" Jiang Wanqiu was stunned for a moment, then thought of those "God's Foods" bestowed by the Father God, and nodded seriously: "You could say that. Your brother... has indeed fed me quite a few good things."
The two walked side by side on the tree-lined path to the cafeteria. Jiang Qianqian really couldn't suppress the fire of gossip in her heart; she secretly sized up Jiang Wanqiu's perfect profile and tentatively asked carefully: "Um... Sister Wanqiu." "What exactly is your relationship with my brother?"
"I see he seems especially good to you, and even arranged for you to be in my class... are you guys..."
Jiang Wanqiu's footsteps faltered. She stopped and turned to look at Jiang Qianqian. Sunlight filtered through the gaps in the leaves and sprinkled on her face, adding a touch of softness to her originally cold demeanor. She thought of Academician Chen Shuyin's "legal wife" provocation, and then remembered Jiang Chen's promise to bring her from the Wasteland.
"I am his..." Jiang Wanqiu bit her lip, a rare shyness flushing her face, but her eyes were exceptionally firm: "I am his woman." "Although... I don't have that red booklet yet." "But my person, my life, along with the entire world behind me, all belong to him."
Jiang Qianqian took a deep breath. It's confirmed! This is definitely my real sister-in-law! And listening to this, this sister-in-law is even throwing herself at him with a rich dowry? She's even willing to risk her life?
What kind of good deeds did my brother, who only knows how to play video games, accumulate to be able to trick such a top-tier goddess?
"Hello, Sister-in-law!" Jiang Qianqian didn't hesitate at all, immediately standing up straight and shouting in a crisp, loud, and sweet-as-can-be voice: "Sister-in-law! You've worked hard!" "From now on, you are my real sister-in-law! If anyone dares to speak ill of you, I'll be the first one to disagree!"
Boom—! This "Sister-in-law" was, for Jiang Wanqiu, even more intense than a critical hit of a billion energy points. She froze completely. Her mind went blank, with only those two words echoing crazily.
Sister-in-law? Is this... the Father God's family's recognition of me? Does this mean that my status in this family has already surpassed that "female artisan" and received official certification?
An unprecedented feeling of happiness, like eating honey, instantly filled her chest. Jiang Wanqiu's face flushed like a ripe apple, and even those crimson eyes, which were always filled with murderous intent, turned into a pool of spring water at this moment.
"You... what did you call me?" "Sister-in-law!" Jiang Qianqian took her arm and said with a grin, "What? You don't like it? Then should I call you Sister Wanqiu?" "No! Just call me Sister-in-law! That sounds good! I love hearing it!"
Jiang Wanqiu's hands were trembling with excitement. She fumbled around on her body in a panic, seemingly wanting to find something to express her joy and to reciprocate this heavy "fee for changing the form of address."
"Um... Sister-in-law left in a hurry and didn't bring Earth currency." She rummaged in her uniform pocket for a long time, and finally, from her portable dimensional space button, she pulled out a handful of colorful stones that radiated a brilliant light in the sunlight.
Those were high-energy crystal cores native to the Wasteland, each containing immense energy and being extremely precious gemstones. "Here! Take it all!"
Jiang Wanqiu shoved all those priceless gemstones into Jiang Qianqian's hands, her tone as wealthy and arrogant as a big spender: "Take them and play! If it's not enough, I'll have people ship more from the Wasteland!" "From now on at school, buy whatever you want, beat up whoever you want!" "If anything happens, Sister-in-law will cover for you!"
Jiang Qianqian looked at the pile of shiny, heavy gemstones in her hands and was completely dumbfounded. Although she didn't know the goods, this luster, this texture... it looked even more expensive than diamonds at a glance! Is this the joy of having a domineering sister-in-law?
"Thank you, Sister-in-law! Long live Sister-in-law!" The two girls laughed together on the playground, instantly forming the most solid "Anti-Academician Chen Shuyin United Front."
However. They didn't know. This scene of "sisterly affection" had already been filmed by a passing student and transmitted at the speed of light to the school forum, and after being forwarded by some interested parties... it finally appeared on the mobile phone screen of Academician Chen Shuyin, who was currently worrying over data in the Chenxing Technology laboratory.
