Reborn (3)

She didn't know how to react for a while. Their Little Miss has always been a weird one.. She doesn't really fit in with this family, one really has to wonder how she grew up to be so naive surrounded by all sorts of vipers and snakes. Shaking her head in an attempt to suppress her wandering thoughts, she proceeded to say in a serious manner :"Little Miss this is the last warning,everyone is waiting for you, Old Master is particularly asking for you, if you don't come down right now there will really be no breakfast for you !"

As expected, as soon as Shuliyan heard about food, she immediately snapped out of it and forgot about everything else. What fate, what life, what plot, Shuliyan expresses that food is life ! Just as she wanted to get out of bed, she hesitated again. She didn't want to face her grandfather at all or any of them for that matter.. The anger of betrayal, the sadness, the pain of being treated like an invisible vase in this cold dark house washed over her again.

"Aunty, I don't really feel well, I think I'll skip for today " She needed some time to adjust to this strange situation and completely calm down, she doesn't want to alarm anyone by her current explosive emotions.

Aunt Zhang was really worried now, their Little Miss would never miss a meal no matter what happened ! She anxiously said, " Little Miss what's wrong with you? Should I call for the family doctor?"

"No don't worry I will come down later for launch, I just want to sleep some more" Aunt Zhang was relieved. "Then you take a good rest I will let the Old Master know"

"Mhm, thank you" Shuliyan smiled softly. As soon as the door closed, her face turned colder and she quickly got up to lock the door. Leaning against the closed door, she took a deep breath. She actually doesn't have much of an impression of this Aunt Zhang, she never believed her to be exactly loyal or trustworthy, but she still didn't expect her to be capable of harming her.. It turns out that every single one of her mouvements has always been monitored by her grandfather, she only found out about it shortly before she died. The people she meets, who she befriends, the people around her, none of them are there by accident. No wonder she was already 21 years old and still doesn't know anything of real value.. Maybe even her laptop is being monitored. She decided to not take any chances and to get another one, maybe she can go to the municipal library. She urgently needs to grow and better herself, the first step would be through gaining more knowledge, she's really way too ignorant. Besides, before that event happens, she needs to be fully prepared, so she won't be humiliated again like her last life. If she remembers correctly, that event is actually a major turning point in the novel, no wonder it served as a great blow to her that year.. 'This time, let's see who's the hunter and who's the hunted" Shuliyan smiled coldly.

She took out a pen and paper and began to jot down all useful details she could remember about this period of her life. She was already a first year student at this time, and it was currently summer vacation. Scratching her head, she felt that her brain must have really been filled with water, she can't remember anything useful at all ! Asking her to dabble in stocks or have some super hacking skills like those rebirth novels MC do? Bullshit ! Shuliyan clenched the pen in frustration. She does remember what companies would be successful in the far future, maybe she should invest in those? She doesn't have any cash on hand though, everything she needs has always been bought to her by someone else. And when she goes out there's always someone there accompanying her and paying the bills.. Her grandfather's excuse was that before she was an adult, she shouldn't be given any money so she won't grow spoiled.. Isn't that just controlling her financially and establishing dominance over her?

Shuliyan decided to adopt a wait and see attitude towards this money problem. Right now she urgently needs information and knowledge. She hurriedly picked up her backpack and went downstairs.

In the dining room, Old Master Feng was still sitting there, holding a newspaper. His old age didn't diminish his strong sharp aura at all. His face was ladden with age lines and his hair was white, but his back was straight and he looks very healthy.

"Grandpa, good morning"

Old Master Feng glanced at the obedient appearance of this granddaughter of his and only felt that she was pleasant to the eye, this is his own handiwork afterall. Fortunately he managed to train her from a very young age, therefore nipping all thoughts of rebelling in the bud unlike her older sister. She was already old enough to have thoughts of her own so he can't count on her loyalty in the future.

"Xiao Liyan, you know the rules. Since you've missed the time for breakfast then you can forget about eating" Yes, you used to starve me for the whole day when I was little, Shuliyan silently thought. She smiled coquettishly as she sat down, except that if you look closely the smile hasn't reached her eyes.

"Grandpa I know I won't do it again, I just wanted to rest more. Anyway, I was thinking about going to the library to study a little bit, I don't want to face too much pressure when school starts"

Old Master Feng raised his eyebrow in surprise. Wasn't this granddaughter usually indifferent about her studies? She barely gets passing marks. Locking his eyebrows in a forwn, he said, "Why do you need to work so hard, grandpa can just arrange everything for you, you only need to relax and enjoy your life"

Lowering her eyelids to cover up the raging currents within, she replied in a nonchalent manner

"No, I just don't want to be looked down upon by the teachers, afterall our Feng family still has a face to keep"

"Oh. Xiao Liyan is really sensible, it's good that you think this way, alright then I'll arrange for the driver to take you there, don't wander about on your own"

Sure enough, once the matter of Feng family's face was brought up, he immediately agreed. Shuliyan smiled.
