All Worlds Beg the Villainess to Act Like a Human

Chapter 296: Correcting the Girl’s Unfortunate Life (20)

That night, everything was fine, nothing happened.

The next day, Qiann Yan went to school after breakfast; Ruqi’s cooking was really not great, so she didn’t eat much.

Arriving at school, she went to the cafeteria and bought two buns, eating as she walked into the classroom.

Soon after, Wuh Huai arrived.

He scanned the room, again seeing unfamiliar faces, but when he spotted Qiann Yan eating buns, his eyes lit up.

He carried his backpack, quickly walking over to Qiann Yan: "Xia Qianyan?"

"Still remember me?"

"I do." Wuh Huai happily sat down, looking joyful, "I didn’t expect I’d actually remember you."

"Do you still remember my aunt?"

"I remember you have an aunt, but I don’t know what she looks like or what her name is." Wuh Huai said, quite troubled about this.

Luckily, being able to remember Qiann Yan, he didn’t feel as disheartened.

Qiann Yan didn’t lift her head, eating buns and flipping through a book: "Yesterday my aunt was here, I couldn’t tell you something."

"What is it?"

"Today, go back and tell your parents to secretly keep an eye on my aunt Shang Ruqi. I suspect there’s something wrong with her, possibly related to your loss of a soul and spirit." Qiann Yan paused, "She’s not an ordinary person. If they do notice something wrong, they shouldn’t act rashly; they can talk to me. Now that I’m the only classmate you can remember, they can invite me to your house, and we can discuss this matter."

Wuh Huai was silent, Qiann Yan turned her head: "What’s up?"

"Actually, I told my parents about remembering you, and they said they wanted to invite you over." Wuh Huai touched his head, a bit embarrassed, "Does that count as a lucky coincidence?"

"That’s perfect, when?"

"Tomorrow, since it’s Saturday."

The day was spent with Qiann Yan studying diligently, while Wuh Huai kept dozing off.

At noon, Qiann Yan received a call from Ruqi, who was going to the Qian Family and would return home late, telling her to order takeout if hungry.

Qiann Yan planned to buy some ingredients online and cook for herself.

Unexpectedly, as she reached the community gate, she saw a familiar person, her stepfather Xiaang Tianmin.

She looked around and didn’t see Shang Ruoya, instinctively feeling something was amiss, but still approached Xiaang Tianmin.

"Uncle Xiaang, what are you doing here?" Qiann Yan asked.

Xiaang Tianmin hesitated, then quickly said, "Your mom is busy today, so I came over to cook for you."

"Is that so?" Qiann Yan sensed something off about Xiaang Tianmin’s demeanor. At the community gate, it was better to talk inside.

Xiaang Tianmin followed her closely, and as Qiann Yan observed him, she felt he was somewhat absent-minded, as if he were not himself.

Was Xiaang Tianmin controlled by Ruqi, or was something put on him?

Qiann Yan discreetly moved her fingers, cast a spell, and decided not to let Xiaang Tianmin go upstairs. Going upstairs would be falling into a trap.

As they passed a small bridge in the community, only calf-high, she cast a spell on Xiaang Tianmin’s leg, causing him to fall into the water.

There were still many people in the community, they quickly came to help upon seeing someone fall.

Qiann Yan also rushed to assist, Xiaang Tianmin was injured, hitting his hand, and everyone promptly took him to the hospital.

Only because Xiaang Tianmin passed out. Qiann Yan knew it was because the divine sense controlling him was gone; clearly, Ruqi was skilled in this.

Qiann Yan pulled out her phone, calling Shang Ruoya.
