It seems that the villain is targeting me.

Since her father was not at home at the moment, she naturally took over receiving the guests on his behalf.

The Lu family's main house is a four-story European-style villa. The entire villa and the surrounding garden are surrounded by iron railings, with only one door for entry and exit.

Visitors and cars cannot pass through the gate without the owner's permission.

Although he could have used the microphone to notify the guards to let the person in, since he had already made the other party wait for a while, Lu Zhiqing felt that he should still observe proper etiquette.

She packed up her things and prepared to go out to meet the other party in person.

The big iron gate is some distance away from the main house, and it would take about two or three minutes to walk there.

Lu Zhiqing walked to the iron gate and nodded slightly to the person in the guard room. The guard then pressed the button and opened the door for visitors to enter and exit.

Lu Zhiqing was slightly stunned.

She had heard from Liu Ma that the visiting tutor was very young - but Liu Ma was already in her fifties - and in Lu Zhiqing's mind, a tutor should be at least thirty years old.

She didn't expect that he would be so young... well, so young and so...

So handsome...

"Hello." Xiao Niao, holding a stack of books in her hands (all of which were her own exam review materials), greeted Lu Zhiqing politely.

"Excuse me, is this Mr. Lu's home?" She smiled at him.

Chapter 5000 Why is it so bloody [+]

"You are..." Lu Zhiqing said hesitantly, "the new tutor?"

Xiao Niao didn't say yes or no, but just smiled and said: "You must be Mr. Lu's daughter."

The person in front of me was well-dressed and had a gentle expression. His every move exuded a confident, calm and steady temperament that made people unconsciously convinced.

Lu Zhiqing was stunned for a moment, then answered subconsciously, "Yes, I am."

[…The tutor who was originally applying for the position was delayed by something unexpected and will not be here for a few days.]

The system quietly reminded Xiaoniao in his head, "Be careful not to lie. If you're asked, remember to say you teach math."

Zodiac bird: Oak.

The smile on her face grew even wider. "Great, then I've found the right place."

This was quite a coincidence. In fact, Xiao Niao never told a lie from beginning to end.

Even Aunt Liu, who went to report the situation at the beginning, was misled by Xiaoniao's words and told Lu Zhiqing the wrong conclusion.

Xiao Niao's original words at the time were: "Is this the Lu family?"

And, "Ah, that's right. Mr. Lu hired a tutor for Miss Lu Yao two days ago, so I came here specially."

After listening to this, Liu Ma's mind automatically filtered out the effective information and came to the conclusion: Oh, this person is the new tutor.

This hardworking and simple middle-aged woman did not have too many suspicions - after all, hiring a tutor was a very common thing for the Lu family, and she had seen it many times.

If we include teachers of talents like piano and dance, there would be at least seven or eight of them.

Both Lu Yao and Lu Zhiqing, in addition to studying normally at school, had teachers come to their homes for private lessons.

This is a popular trend among the wealthy class in this era - from ancient times to the present, having high-quality educational resources is as prestigious as owning a luxury car or a BMW.

This facilitated Xiao Niao's actions. Even if the real tutor came later, she would have a reason to escape in time.

Seeing that the person standing in front of him did not respond for a long time, Xiao Niao nodded slightly and put on a businesslike attitude.

"It's like this, Miss Lu, I'm here today to get to know the students first."

——Lu Yao is still studying and is a student, that’s for sure, and Xiaoniao came to understand her situation, that’s also true.

"What I think is that I should practice some exercises before the formal class to see my overall level."

Xiao Niao thought: Before I went out, I took the old test paper that Xiao Ya hadn't finished, and it can be used now.

"Then, if possible, I would also like to communicate with the guardian."

Lu Zhiqing replied subconsciously: "Sorry, my father is on a business trip these two days..."

Xiao Niao readily agreed: "Then don't worry, I'll first understand the student's situation."

Of course she knew that Father Lu was on a business trip now - the bird had come for the heroine from the beginning.

The reason for visiting now is to take advantage of the time when the parents are not around.

Without blinking, the man continued to ramble, "If you all think it's appropriate, we can discuss the follow-up issues."

This set of well-reasoned and well-founded rhetoric frightened the underage girl Lu Zhiqing.

She responded politely as if by reflex: "Okay, thank you, teacher..."

Although she still had her doubts, the girl couldn't tell what was obviously wrong with the bird.

She could only let Xiao Niao in first and lead everyone towards the main house.

On the way, Lu Zhiqing secretly glanced at the bird out of the corner of his eye, and finally couldn't help but say: "Well, I didn't expect you to be so young..."

Mr. Lu Xun once said that when you are away from home, your identity is given by yourself.

Xiao Niao immediately opened his mouth and started talking nonsense: "Hey, where? I'm already 38."

Lu Zhiqing was quite surprised: "Really? You look no more than twenty years old..."

Xiao Niao gave her a shy smile: "People often say that."

Lu Zhiqing: “…”

Am I overthinking this? It just feels weird.

As they were talking, they had already arrived at the main gate of the house. Lu Zhiqing opened the door first and politely invited Xiaoniao in first.

The entrance hall is decorated very exquisitely and beautifully. A few steps forward is the spacious and elegant living room.

Generally, when Mr. Lu receives guests, he asks them to rest here for a while, while he invites friends who are more familiar to him to talk in the study.

Lu Zhiqing planned to let Xiaoniao rest in the living room for a while, and then inform his sister that her teacher had arrived.

——But Lu Yao and her don’t get along very well, and her father is not at home, so they might quarrel again.

Lu Zhiqing felt a little irritated, but could only comfort himself: I hope that cheap sister can be a little more honest for the sake of the presence of outsiders.

Then she looked up and saw that step-sister walked into the living room from the direction of the kitchen.

There was a silly smile on his face that anyone with normal eyes could see was the amorous feelings in him.

Lu Zhiqing: “…”

She wanted to escape, but she couldn't.

To die, behind

A new tutor even poked her head out curiously and asked, "Is she your sister?"

Lu Zhiqing really wanted to answer that he was actually an orphan.

But since there were many ears around listening, she could only pinch her nose and admit this blood relationship: "Yes, she is my sister..."

At this time, Lu Yao also saw her sister and the stranger behind her.

Xiao Niao noticed that the moment Lu Yao saw her sister, her face suddenly fell.

It didn't feel like seeing my sister, but rather like seeing an enemy whom I couldn't wait to kill.

It seems that the relationship between the Lu sisters is not very good.

The fact is just as Xiao Niao guessed, Lu Yao really has no respect for her elder sister.

She didn't even bother to mention the honorific, and asked, "Who is this?"

"It's the tutor your father hired for you."

Lu Zhiqing seemed to be accustomed to this kind of interaction. He simply said, "Teacher, I'm here today to learn about your academic performance."

No student likes to take extra classes. Lu Yao was confused for a moment, and then became bitter and resentful.

Plus, her mind was full of how to get along well with Gu Tianjiao, rekindle their old relationship, and slap all the lovers, mistresses, and vixens in her past life...

Not to mention the annoying half-sister, even if her biological father was here in person, Lu Yao might not listen to him.

So Lu Yao said without thinking, "I don't like this teacher! Let her go back!"

Lu Zhiqing thought he had misheard and stood there in a daze for a few seconds.

But perhaps because there was an outsider, Xiaoniao, she did not lose her temper on the spot.

Lu Zhiqing laughed in anger and looked at his sister coldly: "Well, Lu Yao, think it over carefully. I have no obligation to hide what happened today from you."

Her tone was light and airy: "If father asks what you did, I will tell him the truth."

——The ‘incident’ here does not only refer to the incident of driving away the newly hired teacher, but also the incident of locking Gu Tianjiao in the cold storage.

The arrogant and domineering expression on Lu Yao's face suddenly faded.

She glared at Lu Zhiqing angrily, but then her eyes rolled, as if she had thought of something. She glanced at her sister sideways, then snorted and turned away.

Lu Zhiqing wished he could whip her with a horsewhip himself.

She stood there for two seconds to calm down, then turned around awkwardly.

Lu Zhiqing stuttered a little and said to Xiao Niao, "I'm so sorry, teacher, this child is always like this..."

Xiao Niao looked at her with sympathy: "It's okay, it's okay. The child is still young. He can change after a few more cigarettes..."

Lu Zhiqing: “Ah?”

Xiao Niao quickly added: "I'm talking about communication, more communication, children must communicate."

Lu Zhiqing looked a little confused. She was quite exhausted from all the trouble she had just gone through. When she spoke, it seemed as if she had mixed up what she was thinking and what she was saying.

Maybe I heard it wrong? She thought, well, I must be too tired, not only did I not speak well, but my ears also made a mistake.

This is totally wrong, Lu Zhiqing blamed himself.

No matter what, it was the Lu family who were dishonest this time - this place is so far away from the city, and the teacher came all the way here, only to see such a scene.

Thinking of this, Lu Zhiqing's expression became more apologetic.

She looked at Xiao Niao and apologized sincerely: "I'm so sorry, teacher. Please take a rest in the living room first. I'll be back soon."

Then he called to the servant outside: "Liu Ma, please serve some tea and snacks to this teacher."

She gave instructions one by one, settled Xiao Niao, and then hurriedly followed the direction her sister left.

Hot tea and snacks were quickly served. Xiao Niao sat down on the soft sofa cushion, picked up a nut and put it in his mouth.

As she chewed, she thought in her head, "Tongzi?"

The system said: [The eavesdropping device costs fifteen points.]

Xiaoniao: “Duh, duh, duh.” He said as he peeled a pistachio for himself.

While the system was selecting the right invisible earphone model for Xiaoniao in the mall, it kept scolding him: "Be serious, this is an undercover spy operation, at least be careful not to make a mistake with your words - damn it!"

Xiao Niao asked confusedly: "Ah? What happened?"

The system said: [Fuck, there’s a melon! ]

As it spoke, it put the invisible earphones into the bird's ears.

——The system’s exchange restriction is that it can only exchange products that the bird already has in its era. This is the best military-grade eavesdropping equipment it can find.

This eavesdropping device seemed to be able to adjust itself automatically. After a brief burst of plasma noise, the voice from the other side came through clearly.

He replied sarcastically: Humph, Lu Zhiqing, forget it, Brother Tianjiao likes me!

Xiao Niao's hands were shaking as he peeled the pistachios, and the white shells fell to the ground with a crack.

The system's voice became inexplicably excited: [Wow... wow... sisters are at odds with each other, oh, bird.]

Xiao Niao bent down to pick up the shell from the ground and said calmly, "Don't talk, just listen carefully."

System: [Oh.]

The sound of the two people's conversation continued to be heard in the headphones.

This time it was Lu Zhiqing who spoke.

The sister seemed very shocked.

Qi also began to fill with anger: Lu Yao, I really don’t understand what you are thinking about every day -
