The four girls, each with a different personality, briefly introduced themselves with their names and ages.
"I bought you some clothes, shoes, and some daily necessities for the girls. Go try them on and see if they fit and if you like them." Jiang Chen divided the paper bags into four piles according to the marks and placed them on the table.
Xiang Ninghua glanced cautiously at the numbers on the clothing tags, her face paling slightly as she waved her hand and shook her head, saying, "No, no, these clothes are too expensive! I'm perfectly fine wearing what I brought myself, brother, you don't need to spend money."
"I don't want it." Leng Yueshuang remained expressionless, like an iceberg, keeping her distance from everyone and not even glancing at the contents of the bag.
Ye Zhi Qiu glanced at the clothes in the bag, her face immediately darkening as she angrily said, "Men are all the same! They use almost the same tricks. Don't try that on me! Buying pretty things to get close to me, and once I lower my guard, you can take advantage of me, right?"
Hmph! That guy thinks the same way, I'm telling you, absolutely not!
If you dare to have any improper thoughts, I will make sure you are childless, just like that man!
Only the quiet Bai Wei took her pile of paper bags, softly said thank you, and then tried to ease the tension by saying, "This is a token of my brother's affection..."
Before she could finish speaking, Ye Zhi Qiu, with a fiery temper, shouted, "How can you trust people so easily? You'll be sold out sooner or later! Girls need to learn to protect themselves and must not be easily defeated by sweet talk!"
"That's right!" Jiang Chen looked at her with delight and encouraged her, "Zhi Qiu, your idea is absolutely correct! It's always necessary for girls to maintain a sufficient level of vigilance, no matter what."
But the prerequisite is that you must learn to distinguish who is genuinely kind to you and who is only kind to you to achieve their own ends.
Since you're so aware of this, I'll entrust the safety of my sisters to you from now on. This will prevent them from being too emotional and easily deceived.
"Hmph!" Leng Yueshuang crossed her arms and snorted coldly, expressing her disdain.
Looking at her four sisters with their very different personalities, Liu Qingmei quickly tried to smooth things over, saying, "Jiang Chen is a very good person, don't misunderstand. We've known each other since we were little, I can vouch for his character, please don't do this."
"So where are you planning to sleep tonight?" Ye Zhi Qiu remained wary. "According to what you said before, after your parents disappeared, we're going to live with you. You're only a fourteen-year-old middle school student, how can you afford that?"
Jiang Chen pointed to the sofa and patiently explained, "I'll sleep on the sofa tonight. If you're worried, you can lock the door from the inside."
Although my parents have disappeared, the assets they left behind are more than enough for me to live on.
I will have plenty of ways to make money in the future, so there's no need to worry about that.
We will be moving to our new home the day after tomorrow. Before that, you should stay home and review your lessons. In the two days while we wait for the move, I will get your school registration sorted out and arrange your schools.
If you each have any hobbies or interests, such as music or dance, feel free to tell me, and I'll arrange it for you.
Ye Zhi Qiu wanted to find fault, but for some reason she felt that this new brother, who was two years older than her, had a kind of intimidating aura of a superior. She opened her mouth but ultimately said nothing and turned to go back to her room.
"This little girl is a bit ungrateful," the white cat muttered angrily. "She's not grateful at all. My host treats her so well, and instead of being grateful, she treats people with this attitude. No wonder no one wants to adopt her!"
Liu Qingmei whispered, "I've seen news reports about girls being bullied by their adoptive families. Has she experienced something like that too?"
Chapter Six: The Key to Breaking the Stalemate
“I saw in the information that she was almost assaulted by the male head of her previous adoptive family and only escaped by fiercely resisting. She probably has some psychological trauma.” Jiang Chen sighed. “It seems that we need to slowly build her sense of security.”
Bai Wei, who had changed into her new clothes, came out of the room and said happily, "Brother, the clothes you bought fit me perfectly and are so beautiful. I've never worn such nice clothes before. Thank you!"
After her afternoon nap, Zhi Qiu told me some things. Her previous adoptive family's husband had been very attentive, buying her clothes and shoes and dressing her up beautifully, and then… she was probably traumatized, which is why she's so wary now. I'll talk to her about it, brother, don't take it to heart.”
"It's a waste for me to wear such beautiful clothes..." Xiang Ninghua also changed her clothes and came out of the room timidly. Her face turned red to the roots of her neck. She twisted her hands and whispered, "Brother, go and return it. I'll just wear clothes that cost a dozen yuan each."
Jiang Chen ignored her words and sincerely praised, "This dress looks great on you. If you straighten your chest, you'll look even more perfect. Qingmei is very skillful and knows how to style beautiful hair. You should learn from her later. Young girls should dress up nicely."
Xiang Ninghua, who had never received praise before, blushed even more and nodded with her neck shrank.
"I think I've figured it out. The main system has assigned the host a tough job." The little white cat lazily licked its paws and concluded, "The little sister is insecure, timid, and cowardly, and severely lacks self-confidence."
My second sister is like an iceberg, impossible to approach;
The third sister is a troublemaker and severely lacks a sense of security;
The fourth sister doesn't seem to have any major flaws, except that she has a soft personality and is easily deceived.
The remaining three probably aren't much better, Host. It seems you'll face considerable difficulty in training them into top talents.
Liu Qingmei helped tidy up the room and taught her younger sisters how to use creams and other products they had never seen before. Jiang Chen went to the bathroom.
"Judging from the plot, these younger sisters' psychological problems have not been properly addressed. They have only lived together for a long time and have received a lot of kindness from their older brother, so they have a grateful mentality towards him. This should be the core reason why the protagonist was able to get the upper hand in the end."
He carefully flipped through the script for a moment before revealing a confident smile.
It's not difficult to train the younger sisters to become top talents.
The challenge is that I have to correct their psychological problems over the years we've lived together.
Although it won't be easy, once you succeed, it will be very difficult for the protagonist to engage in ambiguous relationships or take advantage of others.
The younger sister is insecure, which is why she was easily fooled by the protagonist's sweet talk in the later plot. After all, for someone with extreme insecurity, her greatest desire is to gain recognition.
Even after becoming a world-class scientist and achieving accomplishments that others can hardly attain, Xiang Ninghua still constantly seeks praise and affirmation, to the point that she falls into the protagonist's trap.
The second younger sister once opened her heart but was hurt badly. She must have been extremely longing for the nourishment of family and love.
Judging from the later descriptions in the script, she obviously did not receive enough comfort, and because she was very attached to her brother, she became the first character the protagonist conquered.
The third sister lacks a sense of security and is like a reckless troublemaker. She's probably similar in her behavior in the army, so while she appears fierce on the surface, she's actually just a facade. As long as the protagonist gives her enough security, she'll quickly surrender.
The fourth sister is gentle and naive. Once she trusts her brother, she rarely doubts him and is easily taken advantage of.
The fifth sister, who hasn't arrived yet, is the prettiest, and loves to fantasize, dream, and be vain.
The sixth sister had been a wanderer for a while, which shaped her into a cunning and ruthless person. She may appear delicate and charming on the surface, but she could snap someone's neck in the blink of an eye. Judging from the way the protagonist deals with her in the story, besides playing the emotional card, it seems to rely solely on the protagonist's plot armor.
The seventh sister has an extremely high IQ. Besides being a top hacker, she loves all kinds of art. She is a homebody who rarely leaves the house, exudes a romantic artistic temperament, and is extremely sentimental and obedient to her brother.
"It seems we need to take drastic measures and defeat them one by one." Jiang Chen finished tidying his clothes and came out of the bathroom. Qingmei had already combed Xiang Ninghua's hair and was taking a pile of clothes to the master bedroom to find Leng Yueshuang.
Xiang Ninghua was looking at her transformed self in the mirror with delight. She carefully opened the skincare products her brother had bought for her and took a sniff. A sweet and refreshing scent wafted towards her.
Hand cream, toner, lotion, face cream... a row of skincare products she had only heard of but never used were laid out in front of her. Xiang Ninghua carefully read the instructions, afraid of using the wrong one and being laughed at.
Jiang Chen didn't disturb her and turned to go into the kitchen.
"You like him?" Leng Yueshuang asked abruptly, her face expressionless.
"Hey? You...you shouldn't talk nonsense." Liu Qingmei blushed immediately and muttered softly, "We're just very good friends."
Leng Yueshuang glanced at her and said, "Anyone who isn't blind can see that."
"Huh?! It's that obvious?!"
“Your eyes don’t lie.” Leng Yueshuang stared at her small face and said seriously, “Don’t show your emotions and let others find out. Don’t let others know what you like. This is the life experience I’ve learned.”
If you open your heart and genuinely like something, the person who gives it to you has exploited your weakness.
"If they wanted to destroy you, it would be incredibly easy for them!"
Liu Qingmei: Σ(°△°|||)
It sounds very profound. What kind of experience led a thirteen-year-old girl to such a painful realization?
Thinking about the temperaments of these girls when she first met them, she suddenly felt a little worried about Yan Jiangchen. He was also a child who needed his parents' care. Could he really handle them?
After much persuasion, Leng Yueshuang and Ye Zhiqiu tried on their new clothes and shoes and confirmed that they fit. Then, Liu Qingmei taught them how to use a semi-automatic washing machine. Soon, all sorts of colorful spring clothes were washed and hung all over the balcony.
"Come and eat!" Jiang Chen ordered a large table of home-style dishes from the food maker and served them to everyone while they were still steaming hot. "After you finish eating, I'll set up your phones for you. You can't let playing on your phones interfere with your studies anymore. You also need to save my number first so you can call me immediately if you need it."
Liu Qingmei was stunned as she looked at the table full of delicious-looking dishes. "Jiang Chen, you're such a good cook? Humph, you've never cooked for me before..."
“You used to be the one to drag me to your house for meals, but you wouldn’t eat at my place. Go wash your hands and try my cooking.”
"I think I came here to tutor you, but never mind, I'll tutor you during your self-study period when you get back to school." She took out her phone with a pretty little charm and said helplessly, "I need to call my mom first to let her know."
As Xiang Ninghua helped distribute the chopsticks, she exclaimed enviously, "Brother and Qingmei have such a good relationship!"
"That's right! We played together even before we could walk!" Liu Qingmei said with a touch of pride.
Ye Zhi Qiu, her eyes filled with wariness, retorted, "So you like him, do your family know?"
Chapter Seven: All Arranged
"Third sister, people will feel embarrassed if you say that." Bai Wei hurriedly tugged at her sleeve.
Ye Zhi Qiu pulled her sleeve back and stared at Liu Qing Mei seriously, saying, "You must see the other person's character clearly before you start a relationship! Some men are very good at pretending; they may seem respectable, but they are actually very filthy and only think about taking advantage of others and having affairs. You must be very careful; we girls must always protect ourselves!"
“My brother is a very good person, why do you always assume malice about him?” Xiang Ninghua mustered up her courage to speak up for her brother.
Liu Qingmei also said confidently, "Yan Jiangchen's character is definitely not a problem! We've been playing together since we were little, we went to kindergarten hand in hand, and we're still in middle school now."
He can't hide anything from me!
Apart from the quiet Leng Yueshuang, all the other girls joined the fray, asking questions, discussing, and debating.
The little white cat ate and drank heartily, then sat watching the commotion and enjoying the show.
Jiang Chen couldn't help but facepalm. As the saying goes, three women make a drama, and these five little women at one table are just too lively.
"Uncle Yan and Aunt Su always seem to be very busy. I don't remember ever seeing them much." Liu Qingmei recalled earnestly, finding it difficult to describe her adoptive parents to her four curious younger sisters. "My mother told me that Aunt Su hired a nanny to take care of Jiang Chen just a few days after he was born."
I was still in my mother's belly at that time. My mother's aunt came to take care of her, and she usually had a pretty easy time.
Aunt Su thought she was very reliable, so she asked her to come to her home to take care of Jiang Chen.
The day I was born happened to be his 100th day, but my uncles and aunts weren't home, so my aunt took him to the hospital to celebrate with our whole family.
Later, my mother said that it's the same whether you graze two sheep or one sheep.
My aunt is in charge of taking care of the two of us.
My aunt and uncle are always busy and rarely come back. Jiang Chen has lived with us since he was little, so I know him very well! Jiang Chen is a super, super gentle and good boy, excellent in both character and academics, with no bad habits.
And because his aunt and uncle are often away from home, he's incredibly independent!
Xiang Ninghua hesitated slightly before saying, "Then...then without any source of income, we'll become a burden on my brother..."
"No!" Jiang Chen immediately assured him when the topic shifted to him, "I have an exceptional ability to make money. Not only can I cover everyone's living and educational expenses now, but if you want to have your own business in the future, I can easily provide a large sum of money to help you realize your dreams."
"Brother is so amazing!" Bai Wei's eyes sparkled with pink hearts as she whispered, "I don't need any pretty clothes or shoes, and I don't want to learn music or dance. Could you please buy me more medical books? I love reading them! But the school library doesn't have them, and I can't afford them or have the time to go to the city library to read them."
"That's easy. After we move to our new house, I'll arrange a room for you with a whole wall of bookshelves, filled with all the books you like to read."
Bai Wei happily clasped her hands together after receiving a reply, "Thank you, brother!"
Ye Zhi Qiu clenched and unclenched his fists repeatedly. After a moment of consideration, he said in a slightly softer tone, "I want to learn martial arts!"
"No problem. I'll collect information on the best martial arts schools, taekwondo, judo, and other training courses in the city for you another day. You can choose one yourself."
Xiang Ninghua's heart pounded nervously as she cautiously said, "I haven't been able to study steadily, and my grades might be bad, but I've always tried to study on my own! I just want a school where I can attend classes properly, and I will try my best to catch up on all the lessons I've missed!"
"I've already chosen the schools for you. I'll take you there to register after we move. It doesn't matter if your foundation is weak; I'll hire private tutors for you to make up for what you haven't learned yet."
