When I first entered high school, the system insisted that I was destined to be an emperor in my lat

The birthday banquet officially began.

More than a dozen tables were set up in the courtyard, and steaming dishes were served one after another.

Jiang Feng and Shen Weilan chose an empty seat and sat down.

As soon as I sat down, a little girl with her hair in a bun ran over and called out in a clear voice, "Cousin!"

My aunt's five-year-old daughter, Yuanyuan.

The little girl is exquisitely beautiful and very cute.

Jiang Feng reached out and hugged the soft, chubby little girl, pinching her cheek.

Yuan Yuan tilted her head back, her big eyes blinking as she looked at Jiang Feng, and asked curiously, "Cousin, your family's big truck is so beautiful!"

"My dad said he doesn't have any money and can't even afford a car."

"May I ride in your car later?"

Children's words are innocent, yet they are the most hurtful.

Upon hearing this, Liu Tong's husband, who had just sat down, froze, his hand holding the teacup stiffening as if he wanted to disappear into the ground.

As a man, it's truly embarrassing to be told by your daughter in public that you can't afford a car.

Jiang Feng glanced at his aunt's husband without saying a word, then smiled and ruffled Yuan Yuan's hair: "Of course you can, but that big cart can be very dizzying. Are you afraid of getting carsick, Yuan Yuan?"

"what?"

Upon hearing this, Yuanyuan's face immediately fell, and she shook her head vigorously, "Yuanyuan is most afraid of getting dizzy. I even threw up on the bus last time, so I'd better not ride it..."

As she spoke, she turned to her father and earnestly instructed him, "Daddy, then don't buy any more cars in the future, Yuanyuan doesn't want to throw up."

Hearing his daughter's words, the uncle's embarrassed expression softened considerably, and even a hint of a smile appeared on his face.

He thought to himself, "This son of my elder sister's is not only handsome, but also very worldly-wise."

Liu Tong walked over carrying a plate of food and happened to see this scene, which made her very happy.

Xiao Feng is completely different from before.

She sat down next to her husband and casually asked, "Xiao Feng, the college entrance exam is coming up soon. How are your grades? Has your Qi and blood level improved? Are you confident about the exam?"

"It's alright, I should be able to get into university."

Jiang Feng responded with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Shen Weilan, who was sitting beside her, couldn't help but chuckle softly.

Her brother is currently the top student in the entire Linchuan No. 3 Middle School. His blood energy level is frighteningly high, and even the principal has to treat him with great respect.

It's just that her brother is introverted and doesn't like to show off.

Liu Tong's husband also started talking, interjecting in a senior's tone, "Xiao Feng, I'm not trying to discourage you."

"If your martial arts grades aren't very good, you might as well switch to studying humanities sooner rather than later."

"There is much less competition in the humanities. Although the social status may not be as high as that of martial artists after graduation, at least you can get a management job in a big company or become a teacher. It would be great to have a stable life."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Feng did not refute it, but instead smiled and nodded: "Uncle is right. I will think about it carefully when I fill out my college application after the college entrance examination."

"What are you thinking about!"

Liu Tong slapped her husband on the shoulder, annoyed, and said protectively, "Our Xiao Feng is so outstanding, he definitely has to go to martial arts university and become a real martial artist!"

"What can a teacher do with a fixed salary of only a few thousand yuan a month?"

"I saw it on the news! Even a first-rank martial artist receives over ten thousand yuan in subsidies from the government these days!"

My uncle shook his head helplessly and sighed, "Wife, do you think martial artists are as common as cabbages?"

"Our Linchuan City is a large city, with over 100,000 senior high school students. Every year, only a few hundred top students from No. 1 and No. 2 High Schools can become martial artists."

"This college admission rate is harder to achieve than winning the lottery!"

"So what's wrong!"

Liu Tong raised her chin, her face full of pride, "I believe in Xiao Feng! Xiao Feng and Wei Lan have always been hardworking and resilient since they were little. They'll definitely get into martial arts university this year!"

Hearing his aunt's words, Jiang Feng felt a surge of warmth in his heart.

In such a materialistic family, my aunt's pure favoritism and trust are especially precious.

Just then, Yuan Yuan, nestled in my arms, raised her chubby little hand and called out in a clear, sweet voice, "Cousin, cousin! When Yuan Yuan grows up, she wants to be a martial artist too!"

She had no idea what a martial artist meant; she just thought that martial artists must be very powerful.

"OK."

Jiang Feng was amused and reached out to pinch her little nose. "When you get into Wudao High School, your cousin will teach you martial arts."

"But you're too young now, so you have to be a good boy and eat a lot so you can grow as tall as Sister Weilan."

Suddenly being used as a role model, Shen Weilan blushed slightly, her beautiful eyes sparkling as she glared at Jiang Feng with a mixture of embarrassment and coquettishness.

That one glance was captivating.

Liu Tong, who was sitting opposite, happened to see this scene.

As someone who had been through it all, she keenly sensed the subtle atmosphere between the two children.

These two kids...could they be having an affair behind the adults' backs?

They are not related by blood, but are childhood sweethearts, one handsome and the other beautiful.

Wow, they look so good together!

At this moment, Liu Tong was overjoyed.

at the same time.

On the other side.

"I don't care! I want that car! I want it!"

Because he hadn't received his car keys, Liu Chenglong was banging his chopsticks loudly on the plates on the table.

Wang Yan felt extremely sorry for her son who was throwing a tantrum, and turned to glare at Liu Yaozu impatiently.

"It's all because you're such a useless father! You can't even afford a nice car!"

Liu Yaozu's face flushed red, and he rubbed his hands in embarrassment.

Even if he's shameless, he would never let his older sister give his son the brand new car she just bought!

He knew that his older sister wasn't the type to prioritize her brother's needs above all else.

Wang Yan's eyes darted around, and she lowered her voice, saying, "If you can't get the car, then why don't you hurry up and talk to us about the important matter?"

"While your eldest sister and brother-in-law are both here today, hurry up and ask Jackie Chan about attending Linchuan No. 1 Martial Arts Middle School!"

Liu Yaozu usually looked down on his brother-in-law's family, and now that he had to beg his sister, he felt as uncomfortable as if he had swallowed a fly.

But urged by his wife, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and walk over to his older sister.

At this moment, Liu Aifang was holding her mother Zhang Guihua's hand and asking her how she was doing. When she turned her head and saw her younger brother coming over, she had a feeling that something bad was going to happen.

Sure enough, after hearing Liu Yaozu's request for her help in securing a spot at No. 1 Middle School, she immediately frowned.

She and Jiang Jianguo were just ordinary people; how could they possibly know any of the leaders at No. 1 Middle School?

She was about to refuse.

"Bang!"

A loud thud was heard as the table was slammed.

Liu Mancang, seated at the head of the table, waved his hand dismissively and commanded, "Aifang! As the eldest sister, you must help with this!"

The old man stared wide-eyed, his face full of self-righteousness.

"Jackie Chan is the only male heir in our Liu family; he's the pride of our entire family!"

"If he can become a martial artist in the future, our entire Liu family will take off! This is a momentous event that will bring glory to our ancestors!"

These words instantly put Liu Aifang in a very difficult position.

At this moment, Wang Yan also walked over and said condescendingly, "Oh, big sister! Your family can afford to buy a car worth over 500,000 yuan in cash, and now your own nephew is about to start high school, you wouldn't even help with this little bit, would you?"

Suppressing her emotions, Liu Aifang said, "Xiaofeng and Weilan both got into Wudao High School on their own merits. If Chenglong wants to get into Wudao No. 1 High School, he'll have to rely on his own efforts!"

Wang Yan's expression changed, and she sneered, "I think you're deliberately not helping because you're afraid that if my son Jackie Chan becomes successful in the future, he'll surpass your family!"

These sharp and sarcastic words immediately made Liu Aifang and Jiang Jianguo's faces flush red with anger.

"Oh, Aifang, you're living a good life now, but you mustn't forget your roots!"

"As the old saying goes, your family is your source of confidence. Jackie Chan is the only promising martial artist in your Liu family!"

"Exactly! What's the point of spending 500,000 on a car to show off? You might as well use that money to help your nephew with his connections!"

"People these days get arrogant as soon as they make a little money, and they only care about their own family's enjoyment."

"It's only natural for an older sister to help her younger brother, and for an aunt to help her nephew!"

"If your family can't even help with this small favor, how will you have the face to come back and visit relatives in the future?"

"I think Old Liu is really unlucky to have such a daughter! He's raised a thankless wretch!"

As the saying goes, once you become successful, the people around you who are most envious are your relatives.

This table is full of Liu's relatives, who already disapproved of Liu Aifang's success, and now they immediately used their status as elders to teach her a lesson.

In any case, it's a conflict within the Liu family itself.

What business is it of theirs?!

They're just talking without understanding the situation!
