Chapter 215: She Grew Up Among Wolves

Nan Jiaojiao did not know what had annoyed her, but obediently extended her hand.

The willow twig was as thick as a finger, with a few leaves at the tip.

She had thought it would be very painful when struck, but it was neither too light nor too heavy, just a touch, and the leaves brushed over the palm of her hand, tickling her slightly.

Jiang Yu turned away her face, “I haven’t seen you for three years, and you’re still trapped in your own little world.

How come Pei Dongshi hasn’t taught you a bit of the art of conversation?”

“He did.”

Nan Jiaojiao shrank her neck a little, people around her were teaching her, and so was Lu Zhenzhen.

“I’m just too stupid to learn it.”

Jiang Yu’s eyes darkened for a moment.

It was distressing in her heart.

If traced back to the roots, this child grew up in a wolf pack.

When that old man handed Nan Jiaojiao over to her, she was so skinny that she was practically skin and bones, her hair a tangled mess, and her clothes were like rags, their original color unrecognizable.

Her gaze towards people was identical to that of a wolf cub, full of aggressiveness.

Jiang Yu had put a lot of effort into teaching her how to get close to humans, how to speak.

That she had come this far was already quite an accomplishment.

“Forget it, I won’t bother arguing with you.”

Jiang Yu sat back down, touched her temples, and asked her, “Do I really have a lot of white hair?”

Nan Jiaojiao shook her head, “Not a lot, just mixed in with a few strands.

If you dislike them, I can pluck them out for you.”

“Let them be, I’m old after all.

Although my face is still stunningly beautiful, I should have some features of an elder.

Otherwise, you young girls wouldn’t stand a chance.”

Her words were indeed true.

Jiang Yu was breathtakingly beautiful in her youth.

She took a sip of tea and thoughtfully looked at Nan Jiaojiao, “Why don’t you just get together with Pei Dongshi?”

“Pfft——”

Nan Jiaojiao spat out a mouthful of milk tea, her eyes wide open in horror: “I don’t want to, I refuse.

He’s just like my father, you’re asking me to date my dad, wouldn’t that be incest!”

“Your mouth!”

Jiang Yu’s face changed instantly, “Where’s my discipline stick!

Oh, it’s in my hand, I’m gonna beat you to death!”

Nan Jiaojiao jumped up to dodge; she was willing to take the punishment just now because it was deserved, but it wasn’t her fault this time, and she wasn’t a fool, so why wouldn’t she dodge?

As a result, she jumped right onto the back of Pei Dongshi, who just happened to come by.

He was holding a plate of pastries.

Fearing that they might fall, he slapped her on the leg, annoyed, “I leave for just a moment, and you have the skills to get the master this angry?”

Jiang Yu, armed with the willow twig, charged over: “Ask this little rascal what she said!”

Nan Jiaojiao clung tightly to Pei Dongshi’s neck, “She wants me to date you.”

Pei Dongshi’s face stiffened for a moment, then he silently grabbed Jiang Yu’s willow twig, “Master, sometimes kids can be forgiven for speaking carelessly.”

Jiang Yu: “She said you’re her dad, and dating you would be incest!”

Pei Dongshi’s mouth twitched violently, then he quietly let go of the willow twig, “The brat needs a lesson, she deserves a beating.”

Nan Jiaojiao, seeing that the situation was not good, quickly got off his back, and once her feet hit the ground, she took off running, with Jiang Yu chasing behind her, cursing.

Pei Dongshi shook his head helplessly and placed the pastries on the table.

Together with the butler setting up the place, they glanced at the chasing master and disciple, “It’s really nice; as soon as you and the young miss return, this courtyard comes to life again.

It’s been a long time since I’ve seen the lady this happy.”

Running around the yard in chaos and still happy.

Pei Dongshi laughed, “Let them be, with their temperaments, they’re not suited to sitting down and chatting cozily.”

The butler agreed, raising his hand to wipe away tears from his eye corner.

Pei Dongshi sighed, “Aunt Mou, you’ve gotten old too.”

“Not old, I can still serve you for decades.”

Pei Dongshi smiled faintly, “It’s time for Jiaojiao and me to be filial to you all.”

Aunt Mou didn’t dare accept, but to continue would be too emotional, so she excused herself to fetch some pastries from the kitchen and walked away.
