Jiang Jingnian was puzzled. “Why do you ask? Do you need to be hypnotized, or is there someone else who needs it?”
Jiang Chenglang deliberated for a while before letting out a sigh. “I won’t hide it from you anymore.”
He voiced out all his doubts, including his doubts about Jiang Yu—those words she said after she got drunk, and that seemingly non-existent Brother Bai.
Jiang Jingnian frowned when he heard this.
Jiang Chenglang continued, “I think youshould feel the same way.”
Jiang Jingnian nodded, “I do feel that something is wrong, but my thoughts are not the same as yours. None of this matters. As long as we’re certain that she’s our little sister and has the closest blood relationship with us, as well as that she’s a kind-hearted girl like our mother, nothing else matters.”
“But what you’re saying…”
Jiang Jingnian was thinking about another aspect, “Just like what we said before, our little sister is too lethargic. That isn’t a good sign. I suggested that she go for a checkup, but she refused. I’ll try to persuade her again in a few days, although I know that she knows this better than anyone else. But this isn’t quite the same as what you’re saying now.
“The check-up is for her own good, but are you really going to hypnotize her for her own good?”
Jiang Chenglang did not understand. “What do you mean?”
Jiang Jingnian said, “Let me rephrase it. Hypnosis is to recall the deepest memories of a person, but the things that are forgotten by Little Sister may be things that she doesn’t want to recall, so she has selectively forgotten about them. However…
“You and Feng Linbai have already investigated this, including Uncle An, and discovered that there has never been a person called Brother Bai in her past life. But now that Little Sister has mentioned this person and there are strange things that link up with her…”
Jiang Chenglang’s expression gradually turned grave.
“Make the most impossible, yet most logical, most terrifying, and most mysterious guess.”
Jiang Jingnian crossed his arms and looked at Jiang Chenglang. It was a defensive stance.
He said honestly, “I’m afraid of losing her.
“No matter before or now, I only have one sister.”
Jiang Chenglang understood Jiang Jingnian’s stance. He did not want Jiang Yu to be hypnotized because he was afraid that after Jiang Yu was hypnotized…she would not come back. Or rather, she would not be the one coming back.

Jiang Chenglang fell silent. After a while, he sighed deeply.
“I understand what you mean. I’ll think about it again.”
Jiang Jingnian said solemnly, “Jiang Chenglang, I need to make it clear to you. This isn’t something that you can think about on your own. If it involves Little Sister, you need to ask for the opinions of the three of us. Otherwise, you won’t be able to bear the consequences. Don’t blame us if we fall out with you.”
He turned around and said, “The four of us are able to get together again and sit down to have a good meal and chat. We’re harmonious because we have our little sister as a bond.
“If it weren’t for her…
“We would be nothing.”
…
Downstairs.
Jiang Zeyu had already flaunted around once, but he still felt that it was not enough. He imitated Jiang Xingyi and posted the picture online. However, he was not famous, and his Weibo was just for fun. He did not share his Weibo with his classmates, let alone his fans. Posting on the internet was like posting a private diary, and it became something that only he could see.
“You haven’t finished posting?” Jiang Xingyi ridiculed him. He stretched his head out of boredom and said, “Let me see what you’ve been typing for so long.”
“It’s nothing. It’s just a few pictures.”
Jiang Zeyu had just posted successfully, so Jiang Xingyi happened to see Jiang Zeyu’s nickname pop up on Weibo.
“The Strongest Peter Pan in the Universe…” Jiang Xingyi muttered, “Why do I feel like I’ve seen this name somewhere before…”
Jiang Xingyi’s voice was so soft that Jiang Zeyu did not catch what he said. He had already moved away from his Weibo page and was casually browsing the main page.
Jiang Xingyi felt that this name was somewhat familiar, but he did not think too much about it. He casually searched for Jiang Zeyu’s username and prepared to follow him with his alternate account.
Then, he was stunned.
After a while, Jiang Xingyi chuckled softly and hooked his arm around Jiang Zeyu’s neck. He leaned into Jiang Zeyu’s ear and teased, “So there are people who’re learning to be keyboard warriors online for me?
“Why don’t you dare to let me know that you’re scolding people so fiercely on the Internet?
“Don’t you think so, Peter Pan? My…die-hard fan?”
Jiang Zeyu was about to slap away Jiang Xingyi’s hand in disgust, but when he heard the words “Peter Pan”, his mood soured. His body froze and his entire face, including his ears, turned red.
Jiang Zeyu straightened his neck and said, “Who…who’s being a keyboard warrior for you?”
Jiang Xingyi shook the phone in his hand and let out, “Ooooh. Is that so?
“Then what are these?”
Jiang Zeyu swallowed his saliva. “This…this… I was clearly hacked by someone!”
Jiang Xingyi started reading from his phone, “Jiang Xingyi is not such a person! I think your head has been kicked by a donkey and you’re spouting nonsense here…”
Jiang Zeyu: ‘… F*ck, don’t read anymore!’
It was too shameful!
Back then, when Jiang Xingyi terminated his contract with Huasheng Entertainment, it caused a storm within the city. There were many people on the internet who slandered Jiang Xingyi. At that time, Jiang Zeyu could not take it anymore even though he said that he did not care about Jiang Xingyi. However, he had quarreled with others on the internet and even opened many sub-accounts to act like a troll army. Later on, this was the account that he had been using until now. Sometimes, he would even sneak a peek at Jiang Xingyi’s Weibo using this account. Who knew that he would be so careless today?
He…he had been careless.
Jiang Zeyu secretly cursed himself. At the same time, he said, “So what if I did?! I just don’t want you to take the Jiang family’s surname and be scolded by others. That would bring down my name too, okay…”
Jiang Xingyi smiled and said gently, “Got it.”
When Jiang Yu walked into the living room, she happened to see this scene.
It seemed…quite warm.
She silently turned around and left.
…
After the results of the college entrance examination were announced, A High quickly announced that this year’s top scorer of the college entrance examination came from them.
Moreover, this year’s top scorer of the college entrance examination had a total score of 746 points, which was only four points less than full marks. It was the highest score in the history of the college entrance examination!
In previous years, the highest score from all the college entrance exam’s top scorers had been 730 points, which was 20 points less than full marks. How could this year’s top scorer have obtained such high scores?
It was just a wrong judgment question, and the Chinese composition had been deducted two points.
Then, the information of the examination’s top scorer was announced. Her surname was Qin, and she was a girl.
That’s right, it was that Qin from the Qin family.
A genuine descendant of a wealthy family—a little princess who spoke with a golden spoon in her mouth. In the end, her results were so good. Was she trying to kill everyone else? Did this not just prove that in this world, some people were born in Rome, but in the end, their talent was also in Rome!
Comparing people was really infuriating!
