Capítulo 1748: Chapter 0077: Warriors and Commoners 3
According to the address provided by the ssenger, Wang Yue parked the car in front of a residential building and went upstairs to the third floor of Unit 1 with Li nglan, where they knocked on the door of Apartnt B.
“Who is it?” a woman’s voice asked from inside, carrying a hint of caution.
Hearing this voice, Li nglan’s tears could no longer be held back. She choked up and said, “Mom, it’s , nglan. I’m back.”
“nglan?!” The person inside exclaid, and the door was imdiately opened.
Standing before them was a woman dressed simply, with gray hair and many wrinkles on her face.
“Mom!” Seeing her mother look so much older than she rembered, Li nglan embraced her and burst into tears.
Wang Yue also couldn’t help but feel surprised. As far as he knew, Li nglan’s mother was only in her early forties, about the sa age as Yan’s mother. But Yan’s mother looked like a young woman in her early thirties, while this woman appeared at least ten years older than her actual age. However, it was clear that she had once been very beautiful; otherwise, she wouldn’t have given birth to a daughter as beautiful as Li nglan.
“Sister, is it really you?” a timid voice ca from behind Li nglan’s mother.
Wang Yue looked closely and saw a girl who looked very similar to Li nglan, but much younger—probably around fifteen or sixteen. She was wearing high school uniforms, and although young, she already had a well-developed figure, much more mature than Wang Xin’er.
Li nglan then ca back to her senses, quickly stopped crying, and turned to introduce Wang Yue, saying, “Third Young Master Wang, this is my mother, He Qiong, and this is my sister, Li Yingying.”
Wang Yue smiled and greeted her, “Hello, Auntie He.”
Li nglan continued, “Mom, this is the Third Young Master of the Wang family.”
“Third Young Master?” He Qiong was startled and imdiately felt at a loss. She hurriedly explained, “Third Young Master, it’s all my fault. I really had no other choice but to ask soone to inform nglan. Please don’t bla her.”
“Auntie He, there’s no need. Since I was eight, Sister Lan has taken care of just like a real sister. What happens to her is also my concern,” Wang Yue said gently, waving his hand. “So you don’t need to be formal with . Just treat as one of the family.”
Feeling Wang Yue’s kindness, both He Qiong and Li Yingying felt as if they were in a dream. The Third Young Master of the Wang family was not only of noble birth but also undoubtedly a martial artist. In their minds, martial artists were always considered superior; they usually wouldn’t even look at ordinary people. So they imdiately found this young master of the Wang family to be extrely amiable.
“Mom, let’s go inside and talk,” Li nglan said, agreeing with Wang Yue’s suggestion. It wasn’t that she no longer had any sense of hierarchy, but rather she wanted her family to know that she was doing well in the Wang family.
He Qiong, so excited to see her daughter, had forgotten to invite them inside. Only when her daughter reminded her did she realize it and quickly invited them in.
After entering, Wang Yue looked around. It was a small apartnt with two bedrooms and a living room. The furniture looked a bit old and worn out, but it was kept very clean and gave off a warm atmosphere.
“Mom, where is Xiao Gang?” Li nglan asked as soon as they entered.
He Qiong’s face darkened. “He’s in his room. He was in pain all night and just fell asleep this morning.”
“I’ll go see him,” Li nglan said, then added, “Which room is his?”
This small apartnt had been bought after she left, so she wasn’t familiar with its layout.
“That one,” He Qiong pointed out.
In the room, Wang Yue saw “Xiao” Gang. He had expected Li nglan’s brother to be a small, timid boy who wouldn’t dare say anything if bullied. But what he saw before him was a man nearly two ters tall, extrely muscular. Although he was lying there, wrapped in bandages like a mummy, he still looked much more robust than Li Yuankui. His face was square and imposing, and although he was asleep, his thick eyebrows were slightly furrowed, indicating that his injuries must still be very painful.
Li nglan didn’t disturb her brother and returned to the living room, worriedly asking, “How could it be this serious?”
“It’s nothing serious. Just so minor injuries,” He Qiong said, trying to reassure her.
But Li Yingying wasn’t so optimistic. She said, “Minor injuries? People in the neighborhood said that my brother was thrown more than ten ters away and rolled around on the ground. He doesn’t have a single piece of unbroken skin and has multiple fractures. It’s a miracle he survived at all.”
He Qiong replied, “The doctor said he’s fine. He’ll recover after so ti. Enough about that. Young Master Wang, please sit down. Yingying will get you so water.”
Wang Yue sat down in the living room, and Li Yingying brought him a glass of water, approaching him with a mix of shyness and curiosity. “Third Young Master, please drink so water.”
“Thank you,” Wang Yue said, taking the glass. “You’re not from the Wang family, so don’t call Third Young Master. We’re about the sa age; you can just call by my na.”
“That’s not right,” Li Yingying said quickly, shaking her hand. “From now on, I’ll call you Young Master Wang.”
“Alright. Are you in high school?” Wang Yue asked, noticing the words “Jinling No. 3 Senior High School” on Li Yingying’s uniform.
Seeing how relaxed Wang Yue was, Li Yingying also felt more at ease. She sat down on a chair beside him and replied, “Yes, I’m in the first year of high school. My brother had an accident, so I didn’t go to school today.”
“How’s it? Is school interesting?” Wang Yue asked. He was really curious; he had never been to school or interacted with students before, so all this was new to him.
“It’s okay. Although the studies are a bit stressful, I get to spend ti with many classmates, have fun together, and sotis even encounter interesting things. It’s not as boring as I thought,” Li Yingying said.
Wang Yue couldn’t help but sigh. “I really envy you.”
“Envy ?” Li Yingying was puzzled. “You’re the Third Young Master of the Wang family, a person of high status. How could you envy , an ordinary high school student?”
Wang Yue explained, “You don’t know how our lives are. Every day, we either practice martial arts or cultivate internal energy. We only have three days off a month.”
“Don’t you sleep at all?” Li Yingying asked in surprise.
Wang Yue shook his head. “We practice martial arts during the day and cultivate internal energy at night. There’s no ti to sleep. But since cultivating internal energy allows our brains to rest, we don’t get too tired.”
Hearing this, Li Yingying felt a bit sympathetic toward him. With only three days off a month and nothing but practicing martial arts or cultivating internal energy to do, his life was indeed much more monotonous than being in school.
