Fighting Break Sphere: My Days as a Tutor at Canaan College

Chapter 214 Exploitation
"Yes, it's me..."

Unconsciously, Liu Xi's throat became a little hoarse.

There was a click.

The courtyard door is wide open.

Then, a petite and light figure like a butterfly flashed before his eyes, and in a breath she flew into his arms.

"Brother...why do you only come back once a year...Xiao Wen, I really, really miss you..."

Liu Xiaowen's delicate face, as natural and delicate as porcelain, was now covered with tears.

She was only nine years old this year, her chin resting on Liu Xi's belly, her lovely face tilted upwards, her clear big eyes filled with tiny tears, staring at Liu Xi closely, as if she was afraid that he would run away again.

"Xiao Wen, brother misses you too..."

Liu Xi's expression was moved at this moment, but he told a white lie.

Of course, he couldn't tell the truth. Before he came back, he still regarded her as a karmic bond and didn't want to face it.

The stiff hand was slightly raised and slowly placed on Liu Xiaowen's head.

In my mind, large amounts of memories about it poured out from the depths of my brain.

Silently, there was a hint of true emotion in his eyes.

In those memories about this family, although he often treated his stepmother Aunt Sun coldly, he loved this well-behaved sister from the bottom of his heart.

The relationship between brother and sister is not very strong, but it still exists.

So, that's why she behaved like this when she saw him coming back.

"Where's my aunt?"

The brother and sister snuggled together for a while, and Liu Xi held his sister's hand and walked closer to the courtyard. He glanced around, but did not see the figure of the woman in his memory.

"Mother..., Mother is out..."

Maybe it was because the choking caused by sobbing just now had not improved, but Liu Xiaowen's tone was hesitant when she answered him.

"Going out? What did you do?"

Liu Xi frowned and asked.

It’s not that this widowed woman can’t go out, but around noon in summer, the sun is high in the sky and the weather is hot. No one would choose this time to go out.

Even if he had gone out a long time ago, shouldn't he be back by now?

"She must have gone out to meet people. Mother usually leaves me at home only when she goes out to meet people..."

Liu Xiaowen clenched her free little hand on the corner of her silk dress, her clear eyes flickered slightly, and after thinking for a while she spoke softly.

On the mainland, both men and women become adults at the age of sixteen.

Compared with boys and girls, girls undoubtedly mature earlier, whether in terms of physical development or thinking.

Although Liu Xiaowen is only nine years old this year and is still at a young and ignorant age, she is no longer a completely ignorant child.

Never underestimate girls of this age, because they may know much more than you think.

Going out to meet people...

Liu Xi lowered his eyes slightly, and his upper eyelids half drooped.

I heard from my teacher that his stepmother went to see him that night to ask him to tell her about remarriage, and she brought Liu Xiaowen with her.

Who is he going to meet or what is he doing this time that he has to hide from his daughter?

"When did she go out? Do you know where exactly she went?"

Looking down at Liu Xiaowen, Liu Xi said in a gentle voice.

"I left at the end of the Chen hour. It's been almost two hours now. Mother didn't tell me where she went..."

As if she had made up her mind, Liu Xiaowen blinked her big eyes and met her brother's gaze.

I've been out for two hours...haha.

Hearing this, Liu Xi immediately felt relieved. He nodded at his sister, reached out and touched the smooth bun on her head, and said:
"Okay, I understand. You stay home first. My brother just came back and needs to meet the clan leader and elders."

Outside Hechuan City.

Northern suburbs.

About ten miles away from the city, there is a maple forest that stretches for several miles in radius.

At this moment at noon in the maple forest, the trees are covered with shade, and most of the scorching sunlight is blocked by the maple leaves that have not yet turned red. Only a very small part of the sunlight can be seen through the gaps between the maple leaves, showing in patches.

Forest.

On the side of a road that was artificially cleared for horse-drawn carriages to pass and for city residents to go out and admire the maple leaves, a luxurious and splendid carriage had been parked there for a long time.

It was the hottest summer day now, and the maple leaves only turn red in autumn. It was noon here, and the sun was high in the sky. Therefore, except for the few carriages and pedestrians who needed to pass through the maple forest from time to time, there was only the smell of human habitation in this forest and on this road.

I saw that the wooden window panes and doors of the carriage were all closed, and the inside was covered with curtains.

……

After an unknown amount of time, the curtains inside the carriage slowly gathered together and the door of the carriage suddenly opened.

At this moment, a ruddy-faced woman, about 28 or 29 years old, came down from the carriage with an alluring figure.

It was visible to the naked eye that the bright and beautiful silk clothes on his body were now wrinkled.

"I'd better take you to the north gate. It's not easy to get a carriage here."

Following closely, a brown-haired young man in his twenties jumped out of the car, put his arms around the woman's soft waist naturally, and behaved intimately.

"Forget it. You go back to your Wuyang City. I will find a way to go back by myself... I haven't remarried you yet. It won't be good if someone I know sees us. Also, your identity is very sensitive to the Liu family..."

The woman raised her head slightly, smoothed the messy hair on her forehead, and spoke softly.

As she said this, she slapped the other person's hand, which had become a little dishonest on her waist.

"Okay, okay, whatever you say is what it is..."

The young man curled his lips, reluctantly withdrew his hand, then looked at him and said:
"Then you go first, I'll watch from behind..."

Hear this.

The woman, who was tidying up her wrinkled clothes, couldn't help but roll her eyes, but she didn't say anything. Instead, she did as the other party said, took light steps, and walked slowly out of the maple forest.

What the woman didn't see was that a hint of mockery quietly emerged in the young man's eyes as he looked at her back, and at the same time, a sneer slowly appeared at the corner of his mouth.

What a stupid woman...

A second-married woman who is not a cultivator, dares to dream of marrying into the direct lineage of the Otto family?

After he had used this woman, he would naturally kick her away.

-

The sun gradually sets in the west.

Inside Hechuan City.

Deep in the Liu family mansion.

Liu Xi walked out of the family meeting hall with a calm expression.

As expected, when he came back this time to meet with the clan leaders and elders, these family leaders asked him about his well-being. After exchanging pleasantries, two out of three sentences in their conversations were asking him not to leave after his return this time, but to take up a position in the clan and create value for the family in order to repay the family for their "cultivation" since he was a child.

In fact, there is nothing wrong with the family’s top leaders doing so, as it is all for the overall benefit of the family.

But he obviously would not stay just like that, and in order not to waste too much time on the issue of whether to stay or go, he simply used a large amount of money to shut up the mouths of the family's top leaders.

About the question of why this chapter is chapter 214.

I can only say that yesterday’s second update, Chapter 213, was completely buried. Those who understand will understand.

I racked my brains and made drastic changes to this chapter based on the original one. I can only write to this extent given the current online writing environment.
