Volume 1. Let the Game Begin
Looking at Sha Ha, who was being carried by Liu Wanqian, I really got anxious.
Seeing his posture, it was obvious he was looking for a stick to beat Sha Ha with.
Please don't hit her, this silly dog can't take a beating.
However much a carp costs, I'll earn money and pay you back, okay?
But right now, I was standing on the balcony.
Just now, because I yelled at Sha Ha, she had climbed ashore.
Anyone who had raised a husky would know, this creature never lost an argument but never won a fight either.
Caught by Liu Wanqian by the tail and lifted up, Sha Ha was howling miserably but didn’t dare to turn around and fight back.
That miserable howl made my heart tremble!
I wanted to save Sha Ha, but it was too late to take the stairs.
Looking at Liu Wanqian, his face flushed with rage, holding Sha Ha’s tail, and seeing Sha Ha’s sky-blue eyes pleading for help, I became truly desperate.
"Ah ah ah ah! Girl, what are you doing? This is the second floor, your leg!!"
"Young Miss!!"
"Master! The Young Miss, she!!"
I couldn't care about anything else.
Grabbing onto the balcony, I flipped myself up to sit on it.
Almost at the same moment, exclamations rose behind me and downstairs.
Even Liu Wanqian, still furious, instinctively turned his head and looked at me sitting on the balcony.
When his gaze landed on me, his body suddenly trembled, and his eyes widened!
Later, thinking back, I could guess... although this guy was strict with his words, he was definitely a textbook daughter-con.
"Liu Yunyan!! What are you trying to do!!!"
Liu Wanqian’s voice nearly cracked from the roar, full of intense worry.
At that moment, I realized too that I had acted rashly.
Aunt Zhao behind me didn’t dare to rush forward to hold me.
The maids and gardeners downstairs were completely stunned as well.
Pushing lightly against the edge of the balcony with both hands, my body instantly left the second floor.
"Liu Yunyan, you’re crazy!!!"
At this moment, Liu Wanqian didn’t care about anything else.
He instinctively let go of the husky’s tail and rushed toward me.
He was less than two meters away from me, and no one else could reach me in time.
Perhaps everyone thought at that instant... that the me jumping down would definitely break my leg again?
After all, the bones in my left leg hadn't completely healed yet.
However...
At the moment I hit the ground, my Evil Spirit Form detached from my body, helping me absorb part of the impact.
Of course, in the process, I also did everything flawlessly in my own judgment.
At least, under these circumstances, no one would notice that I had offloaded the force just before landing.
Landing with one foot on the ground, I slightly bent my right knee.
After all, only one leg could bear force now.
The left leg could barely touch the ground and didn't dare to exert any strength.
Meanwhile, Liu Wanqian, full of worry, rushed over with a face full of panic.
He reached out to grab my shoulder.
Before my foot could stabilize, he stretched his hand toward me.
Subconsciously, I reached back and grabbed his arm.
For some reason, at that moment, a memory of a middle-aged man practicing judo suddenly flashed through my mind.
Almost instinctively, I followed the memory of that body, positioning myself just right.
Turning around directly, I ended up carrying Liu Wanqian over my back.
Because I could only use one leg, I instinctively lifted my left foot.
Since Liu Wanqian had been walking towards me with force, it perfectly aligned.
The weight of Liu Wanqian’s body pressed down.
Because I had one foot off the ground, I couldn’t control my balance properly.
However, at this moment, it worked out.
My body followed the momentum and threw Liu Wanqian over.
Then... I stabilized myself.
A textbook perfect shoulder throw!
Liu Wanqian flew out, arms and legs spread wide, and landed heavily on the surface of the pond.
Countless koi fish were startled into leaping from the water.
Splash!
Water sprayed everywhere.
"Master!!!"
"Master!!"
If earlier when I jumped down from the second floor only shocked everyone, then at this moment... everyone’s emotions instantly turned into sheer terror.
"Uh... Dad?"
Just a moment ago, it had been pure instinct, following the memory of that middle-aged man’s movements, and I threw him out along the force.
I really hadn’t meant to throw him into the water!
The hired workers all rushed toward the pond to rescue Liu Wanqian.
Although the pond didn’t look deep, it actually had a depth close to two meters.
If someone couldn’t swim, they could really drown in there.
But Liu Wanqian wouldn’t.
This guy had been an excellent swimmer since he was a child.
When Liu Yunyan was two years old, Liu Wanqian had even taken her swimming in the river at the foot of the mountain.
I raised my hand slightly and glanced back at Sha Ha, squatting in the corner.
She looked at me pitifully.
Seeing that, I couldn’t help but press my aching head with my hand, feeling helpless.
So, I really did cause trouble this time.
"Sha Ha! Get out here!!"
Originally, I planned to live steadily in this house.
After all, I had taken over Liu Yunyan's body.
Good or bad, it was only natural to help her repair the father-daughter relationship a bit.
But now, it seemed like trouble had come.
Maybe... I should just move out and live on my own?
But then, how would I survive?
There were still more than nine hundred thousand yuan left in WeChat.
Could I rely on that to last until I graduated from college?
It was possible.
But judging from Liu Yunyan's memories before her death, what she missed the most was the time when her parents took her on outings when she was little.
Before I devoured her, she had also regretted her attitude toward her parents.
I could ignore the emotions of other people after their deaths.
But now, I was occupying Liu Yunyan’s body.
In this matter alone, I had already gained an enormous advantage.
If I left without doing anything, no one would say anything.
But in my heart, I couldn't accept it.
Turning my head, I glanced at Liu Wanqian, who was being helped out of the pond and supported toward the villa.
I didn’t know if it was a coincidence, but when I looked at him, he happened to look at me too.
However... the emotions in his eyes didn’t seem filled with much anger.
There was a hint of worry, some confusion, but more than anything... it seemed to be a kind of comfort?
Thrown out by his daughter with a shoulder throw, and he still felt comforted?
This couldn’t be explained by simply being a daughter-con anymore, right?
What on earth was he thinking?
Shaking my head, I glanced at Aunt Zhao, who had rushed out of the villa with a worried look.
I waved at her to come over, then directly grabbed Sha Ha by the scruff of her neck and lifted her.
"Aunt Zhao, take her for a bath. If she misbehaves, you can hit her, but you can't use anything to hit her."
Then, under Aunt Zhao’s astonished gaze, I took the cane from her hand.
Leaning on the cane, I followed the group of people into the villa.
No one stopped me, because at this moment, no one dared to stop me.
After all, no one knew if Liu Wanqian would fly into a rage later and kick me out.
But no one scolded me either, because they didn't have the qualification to.
Only the elder of the family, Aunt Liu, blocked my way.
With a solemn face, she said, "Don’t go upstairs. I’ll have Sisi come over right away. There are buildings in the city too; you can stay there. After a couple of days when your dad calms down, you can come back. I’ll have the auntie who’s been taking care of you go with you. Later, I'll call Lianyu and have her transfer you some money. I don't have much cash right now, only a few thousand yuan... take it first."
As she spoke, Aunt Liu was about to pull out her wallet.
I raised my hand and stopped her directly.
"No need. I'll go talk to him."
"What?"
"I said, I'll go apologize. Don’t worry."
Sigh... I really didn't do it on purpose!
