Weird, my gaming life

Liu Tiantian's stunned expression left her group of friends behind her at a loss for what to do.

After all, if Ms. Qin Wan doesn't care about these things, no matter how much they complain, it won't make a difference.

Lu Feng, who was originally waiting to see a good show, also froze.

He hadn't expected Qin Wan's protection of Lin Yuan to have reached such an extent.

You know, even though it's mostly children tattling here, they're not the only ones around.

And what about the parents of his friends? Does Qin Wan really not care at all about the last bit of reputation of the Qin family?

However, just as Lu Feng was thinking this, a noblewoman dressed in a formal dress slowly walked over.

"Sweetie, what are you all doing gathered here?"

Upon hearing the woman's voice, Liu Tiantian's previously dazed expression immediately turned aggrieved.

"Mom! I've been bullied by those lowly people!"

Then, Liu Tiantian choked up and recounted everything that had happened at school.

The people around her instantly changed their expressions, and the woman's eyes also became somewhat sharp.

"Ms. Qin Wan, you must give me an explanation today. I won't even mention that you adopted a child from the lower district, but you've allowed him to call my precious child a gossip. Isn't that going too far?"

The noble lady, who is Liu Tiantian's mother, Madam Liu, spoke in a low voice, but with a condescending questioning tone.

Her husband was the captain of the city guard in District 15. Although he wasn't from a noble family, he was still a person of some standing.

She believed she was qualified to speak to Qin Wan like that.

Lu Feng, who had been looking dejected, raised his head, his eyes gleaming with excitement.

Qin Wan slowly turned around, glanced at Madam Liu, then ignored her and looked directly at Lin Yuan.

"You insulted her!"

Lin Yuan nodded. "A group of them followed behind me, pointing and whispering."

They called me a sewer rat, a maggot in the garbage dump, so I told them to mind their own business and go get treatment if they were sick.

Upon hearing this, Liu Tiantian's face instantly turned bright red. She hadn't expected that Lin Yuan would overhear their private conversation.

Qin Wan's lips curled into an imperceptible smile, and then she looked at Madam Liu again, her eyes sharpening as well.

"Is this Mrs. Liu? I understand now. Your daughter and her classmates are ostracizing my child."

They even verbally abused me. My child only fought back a little and she couldn't take it anymore. What right do you have to ask me for an explanation now?

"I'd also like to ask, is this how you raise your child? Talking behind others' backs—my child is far more polite than yours!"

Madam Liu's face turned extremely pale, her well-maintained face alternating between green and white.

"You...you're just making excuses! He's just a lowly commoner from the lower city, so what if he gets a few words said about him!"

"I don't know if he's considered an outcast or not, but he's a child I adopted through proper channels. You're denying the inheritance system established by the Upper City!"

A huge accusation was slapped on Mrs. Liu's head, making it difficult for her to breathe.

It is important to know that the more prestigious and powerful a family is, the more it values ​​legitimate inheritance rights. Many illegitimate children are legally returned to their original families under the guise of adoption by their guardians.

If she confirms Qin Wan's accusations, her husband might lose his position as captain of the city guard.

In District 15, almost all of these managers knew Qin Wan, since there weren't many aristocratic families that had survived in a district.

She knew Qin Wan's personality well; since her father's death, this woman's personality had become increasingly assertive.

In order to preserve the family's glory, she was utterly unscrupulous and notoriously crazy.

"I...I didn't mean that..." Madam Liu instantly lost all her composure and began to stammer.

However, Qin Wan did not give her a way out. Although her husband was the captain of the city guard, such a position was only good for intimidating rich people without noble titles.

For someone like her, who was originally a noble family in the upper district but had fallen to the middle district for some reason, it was not a big deal at all.

A servant is always a servant; whether he can turn against his master depends on whether he has the fate to do so.

"My son did the right thing today. From now on, watch your daughter's mouth and watch yourself. Don't think that just because your husband is the head of this district, you can act tough in front of me."

If you trace your family back three generations, you might have been a rat that crawled up from the sewers. If I wanted to, your husband's position would be over by today!

The blatant threat made Madam Liu tremble.

She then realized that compared to aristocratic families like Qin Wan's with their prestigious backgrounds, her family's connections and social circles were limited to the central district.

Who knows if the Qin family has any powerful relatives or friends? If they do, her husband's position might be a matter of a single word.

Besides, others are only temporarily down on their luck; once they awaken their demonic veins, they can return to the upper city at any time.

At best, they can only obtain a high-level position in the middle management level, which is the difference between the two.

Madam Liu dared not say another word, grabbed the still sobbing Liu Tiantian, and fled in panic.

The classmates who were originally watching Liu Tiantian's group were quickly pulled away by their parents, and before leaving, they looked at Lu Feng with a strange sense of distance.

Lu Feng stood there, his body ice-cold. The situation, which had been going well, had vanished in an instant, leaving him with a strong sense of powerlessness.

"Get on the bus!"

Qin Wan's icy voice made Lu Feng tremble all over, and he numbly followed Lin Yuan into the black sedan.

The car started, and the interior was deathly silent.

Looking through the rearview mirror, Lu Feng glanced at Qin Wan, who was focused on driving, and Lin Yuan, who was unusually calm.

Suddenly, he felt that the two people really looked like a mother and son, even their expressions were so similar.

But the more he did this, the more resentful he felt.

He didn't understand where he fell short compared to Lin Yuan.

He was so bad that Qin Wan didn't hesitate to fall out with the management of the Central District, and she didn't even give him a friendly look.

This favoritism was like a thorn piercing his heart.

Suddenly, Qin Wan's cold voice rang out.

"What happened today will happen again in the future. In this world, might makes right. You did well; at least you didn't swallow your anger like a coward."

These words were spoken to Lin Yuan.

Lin Yuan's eyes flickered slightly. He glanced at Lu Feng's gloomy face in the rearview mirror and spoke softly.

"Originally, I didn't want to argue with them because it was pointless, but they were so noisy, like a swarm of flies, constantly buzzing in my ear."

Qin Wan couldn't help but chuckle softly upon hearing Lin Yuan's reply.

"You're right, they're just a swarm of flies, constantly buzzing in your ear."

Even though she herself was hardly noble, she always felt that she had escaped her lowly status.

In reality, they're no different from the people in the lower city; the only difference is that one is a useful tool, and the other is useless trash.

Upon hearing this, Lin Yuan clicked his tongue inwardly. Wasn't this just calling him trash?

The hierarchical system in this world is far too deeply ingrained.

After a moment of silence, Lin Yuan asked casually, "Mother... seems to be very good at handling these kinds of things."

Qin Wan gripped the steering wheel, her gaze becoming deep.

"Yes!" she said softly, her thoughts drifting into memories.

In her past life, she was sent to prison by her husband and adopted son. Those people tortured her relentlessly. Verbal insults were the least of her worries; physical torture was what disgusted her the most.

The car fell silent again as Lin Yuan stared at Qin Wan, who was lost in thought.

His expression immediately tensed up. He really wanted to say to Qin Wan, "Please, you're making a suggestive joke right now! Can you be a little more serious?"

However, seeing Qin Wan's appearance, Lin Yuan roughly understood what she was recalling.

A reborn person! This kind of dazed expression definitely means they're thinking about their enemies from a past life.

But I wonder who she thought of this time!

However, now is not the time to think about these things.

He was in the passenger seat. Even if there was a crash at that speed, he wouldn't be hurt, but wouldn't that expose his current physical condition?

This is inconsistent with his low-key approach.

Therefore, Lin Yuan could only concentrate on observing the condition of the flight path so that he could promptly remind Qin Wan in case of any emergencies.
