Chapter 1075: Chapter 1075: Star Era Guide (25)
Jing Lan doesn’t really eat breakfast—at least not such a lavish breakfast.
The Jing Family used to indulge like this, but for him, those days are almost forgotten.
A single tube of nutrient agent can sustain someone for two to three days.
Convenient and straightforward.
“Got any wine?”
“Drinking wine so early in the morning isn’t good.” Chuzheng got up to pour him a glass of water. “Have some water.”
“…”
Jing Lan felt a bit annoyed.
He wanted to lose his temper, but in the end, he suppressed it and gulped down the water in one go.
Chuzheng looked at him, “If you don’t like this, I can have Xiao Jiu buy something else…”
“I’m not picky.” Jing Lan said drily.
These things taste much better than nutrient agents.
If placed in front of anyone, as long as they’re not allergic, probably no one would be picky.
“Then go ahead and eat.”
Chuzheng handed him the chopsticks.
Jing Lan hesitated, then took them.
Jing Lan inexplicably ate breakfast, and when he went out, the Spirit Restoration Liquid was still in his hand.
He looked up at the sky, exhaled, and headed back to his office.
Since that day, every day Xiao Jiu buys breakfast, he first places a portion at his door without saying anything.
Eventually, Chuzheng started bringing it in person.
He doesn’t know when, but her breakfast time has become his as well.
Jing Lan couldn’t drive her away, nor did he know how to refuse, so he just let her be.
The middle of the office was cleared out, and a table was placed there.
At first, Jing Lan didn’t pay this table much mind, but later on, the more he looked, the more he felt something was off about it.
Checking the Star Net, he discovered the table was a unique piece, likely acquired from an auction house.
While others would take it as a collector’s item, she used it for dining.
Professor Wei almost felt like crying upon seeing it, upset over the table.
After Chuzheng finished breakfast, she pulled out a tube of Spirit Restoration Liquid and casually placed it beside him.
Jing Lan: “…”
He instinctively glanced at his safe.
Did she steal from his safe?
“This is really useless for me.” Jing Lan put down the chopsticks in his hand. “It’s wasteful for you to give it to me.”
“That’s perfect.” The Good Person Card exists to help me squander wealth, it’s a faultless setup.
“??”
Something people search for years without finding, she managed to get within a short time and brought him two packages.
Jing Lan felt a mix of agitation and complexity.
“Your spiritual power really can’t be restored?” Chuzheng asked him.
“Mm.” Jing Lan lowered his head.
Chuzheng was silent for a moment. “I heard from Professor Wei that although the Spirit Restoration Liquid can’t restore your spiritual power, it can help you control your temper.”
“…”
Why is he telling her everything!
How is his temper bad?
What opinions do they have about his temper?
Chuzheng’s tone was indifferent: “It’s no use keeping it anyway, just drink it as a beverage.”
Jing Lan’s mouth twitched.
It’s lucky no one overheard this, otherwise, who knows how many people might want to kill you.
Priceless Spirit Restoration Liquid, drunk as a beverage…
Jing Lan opened his mouth several times but didn’t utter a single word in the end.
–
While Chuzheng was scouring for Spirit Restoration Liquid for Jing Lan, the Wun Family was unsettled.
Wun Qing was busy investigating Chuzheng’s background, but he could only find her records from the Main Star, nothing else at all.
It seemed as though someone had concealed things for her.
Wun Qing returned home looking exhausted, and upon entering, he saw Old Madam Wun, who hardly ever went out, was cheerfully sitting in the main hall.
His parents were there as well, along with a strange girl.
Everyone present appeared rather cheerful.
“Grandma?”
“Qinger is back.” Old Madam Wun waved him over immediately. “Come here.”
Wun Qing noticed the girl sitting beside Old Madam Wun. He furrowed his brows and walked over, somewhat puzzled. “Grandma, who is this?”
The girl beside Old Madam Wun seemed to stand up nervously, a shy yet uneasy smile on her face.
She looked rather confused and uncertain about the current situation.
Wun Qing felt she looked somewhat familiar but couldn’t quite remember where he had seen her before.
Just then, a notification from his wrist alert caught his attention.
[Objective distance: five meters.]
He suddenly remembered that at the Yin Family, it was this girl…
But how could it be?
The Identity Chip he linked to, how could it be hers?
Old Madam Wun was exceedingly happy, pulling him over. “This is your long-lost sister, we’ve searched for so many years, and at last, heaven has rewarded our efforts, we finally found her…”
Wun Qing felt no joy at all, his brows knitted even tighter. “Grandma, you might be mistaken.”
Xie Wanwan’s expression instantly stiffened, her hands unconsciously clenched by her side.
Wun Qing’s parents were also taken aback. “Qing’er, what are you saying?”
“How could it be a mistake?” Old Madam Wun was displeased. “Her Identity Chip has already been confirmed.”
Wun Qing remained silent.
He quietly observed Xie Wanwan.
Xie Wanwan felt deeply uncomfortable under Wun Qing’s gaze, almost as if there was nowhere to hide.
Wun Qing turned to Old Madam Wun. “Grandma, let’s talk upstairs.”
Though Old Madam Wun was happy, she considered that her eldest grandson wouldn’t say anything without reason.
She patted Xie Wanwan’s hand to reassure her, then took Wun Qing upstairs.
Wun Qing helped Old Madam Wun to a seat. Her cheerful expression subdued, she appeared somewhat dignified now.
“Her Identity Chip was checked by your parents, and it is indeed the one your youngest uncle took away back then.”
Wun Qing stood respectfully. “Grandma, have you done a gene test?”
“This… we haven’t done that yet.” Old Madam Wun hesitated. “We were so caught up in the joy, we hadn’t thought that far.”
The Wun Family had been searching for so long, they hadn’t had a chance to do it yet.
Besides, in their view, such an important thing as the Identity Chip would never fall into an outsider’s hands.
Wun Qing spoke seriously, “Grandma, when Uncle left, my sister wasn’t even born, the Identity Chip hadn’t been activated. So much time has passed, who knows what might have happened.”
“But the girl can talk about some details.” Old Madam Wun said. “She grew up with… her maternal grandfather, she can clearly state his name, age, and features. How could it be wrong?”
This was also why Old Madam Wun believed it.
Wun Qing perhaps was too young to know back then.
But she knew!
“Grandma, how can you be sure she’s talking about her own experiences?”
“That…” Old Madam Wun wavered, “Then we’ll take her for a gene test.”
After a pause, she continued, “Qinger, why are you reacting so strongly?”
Wun Qing paused, “Let me show you something.”
Wun Qing projected a photo into the air.
The photo was taken at an auction house, in a silver-white corridor, a girl stood sideways, slightly turning her head, looking directly at the camera.
Through the photo, it seemed possible to gaze into her eyes.
In her eyes were a vast world, yet calm and serene, with not a ripple of emotion.
Even in a photograph, one could see the girl’s cold elegance.
That was a quality unmatched by ordinary people.
