Chapter 301: Chapter 301: Stealing Skills

Old Sir Jiang was somewhat puzzled.

Why were the servants not busy with their morning chores but instead gathered here, calling someone "young lady"?

Curiously, he walked over.

Unseen, unknown. He was startled upon seeing.

Their "young lady" was none other than his granddaughter, Jiang Li.

At that moment, Jiang Li’s actions were even more startling to him.

She was dressed in a neat and tidy tracksuit, standing in the middle of the grass, practicing boxing.

Her punches were anything but soft; each move seemed to carry a fierce breeze of punches, and her stance was extremely stable. It was evident she was a practiced martial artist.

Jiang Zhao Yuan was amazed.

Just as he doubted whether this person was really Jiang Li, she suddenly picked up a Long Tassel Spear from somewhere and began swinging it around in the open space.

The high difficulty of the movements seemed to belong only in TV dramas.

For a moment, Old Sir Jiang thought he was dreaming.

Until Jiang Li noticed him.

She flawlessly stopped her movements, put away the spear, and bowed slightly towards him with utmost respect.

"Grandfather, good morning."

That greeting completely woke the old man up.

He skeptically watched Jiang Li for several moments. "You’re up so early?"

It was only six-thirty in the morning and she appeared to have been there for more than half an hour. When had this girl become so studious?

In the past, even during school terms, she would never get out of bed before eight o’clock.

Jiang Li nodded, "I’ve gotten used to it, Grandfather. Isn’t this the perfect time for morning exercise?"

Old Sir Jiang was so shocked he couldn’t speak.

Could this girl really be serious?

Impossible, wasn’t it said that "a leopard cannot change its spots"? Even Jiang Yan, that brat, hadn’t changed in over twenty years; how could this girl change so suddenly?

Jiang Zhao Yuan, at a loss for words, finally managed to ask sternly, "What kind of boxing were you practicing just now?"

"Xinyi Liuhe Fist," replied Jiang Li. "This boxing technique can clear the turbidity in the body, strengthen the physique, and even prolong life."

She had watched her grandfather practice this every morning back in Daqi.

After a while, the routine had stuck with her, and her experience in the Primordial Forest had emphasized the importance of exercise. Hence, she thought of recreating this boxing technique and, unexpectedly, she succeeded.

But Old Sir Jiang had never heard of this boxing technique.

He knew about Yong Chun Boxing, Tai Chi Boxing, Xingyi Boxing...but he had never heard of this Liuhe Boxing. Could it be that this girl had just made it up?

Yet, her manner did not seem haphazard.

But could this boxing technique really prolong life?

Old Sir Jiang was half-convinced, half-doubtful as he looked at Jiang Li again.

Sure enough, she was glowing with health, appearing far from someone who had just recovered from a severe illness.

This deeply stirred the frequently hospital-visiting old man.

Noticing his eagerness, Jiang Li tentatively said, "This boxing technique is also very suitable for the elderly. How about I teach you a few moves?"

Caught in his thoughts, Jiang Zhao Yuan’s face turned red, and he snorted coldly instead.

"Why would I learn this? Getting up this early and not studying but wasting time here, I wonder what kind of school you’ll be able to get into a year from now!"

After saying that, Old Sir Jiang stormed off with his hands behind his back.

The servants nearby, already accustomed to the temperamental Family Head, discreetly scattered without a sound.

Jiang Li didn’t take it to heart.

In her previous memories, this old man had always been fierce and cold towards her.

And she, controlled by the plot, did not like her grandfather either, often clashing with him. Whenever the two met, it inevitably led to a big fight.

Materially, she indeed got the least.

The company shares had nothing to do with her, and the only property was the one her father left her. On holidays, the gifts Old Sir Jiang gave her were always the least impressive among the younger generation.

For instance, during this hospitalization due to her illness, he never came to visit her; it had always been like this, as if he intentionally avoided her.

Thus, there were rumors outside suggesting that Old Sir Jiang favored sons over daughters, and she, being the only girl of her generation, was not favored at all.

But now, Jiang Li felt that maybe things were not so simple.

As everyone left, rather than feeling disheartened, she began to practice boxing in the clearing again.

Sure enough, a few minutes later, her peripheral vision caught a glimpse of a grey shadow at the corner.

And Old Sir Jiang happened to be wearing grey clothes today. freewebnσvel.cѳm

Sighing, Jiang Li shook her head helplessly and then deliberately slowed down her movements.

In the corner, Jiang Zhao Yuan mimicked Jiang Li’s boxing movements quite proficiently.

Whether it was psychological or the boxing technique really was effective, after practicing for a while, he truly felt much more relaxed, and even his vision seemed clearer.

Old Sir Jiang felt somewhat pleased.

He hadn’t expected this girl to have some skills.

But then he thought of something, and his gaze towards Jiang Li turned cold again.

Hmph, skilled or not, she’s still a jinx.

"Grandpa, what are you doing here?" Suddenly, a voice interrupted Old Sir Jiang’s thoughts.

He turned around and saw Jiang Cheng nearby, curiously looking at him.

Jiang Zhao Yuan coughed softly a couple of times, his fist to his lips.

"Well... Grandpa is exercising."

Saying so, he swung his arms a few times to alleviate the awkwardness of "stealing skills."

Pretending to be naive, Jiang Cheng nodded, "I see, so you were exercising. Then go have breakfast after you finish exercising, Grandpa. I’m going upstairs to read."

"Alright, you go ahead."

Jiang Cheng smiled, but as he turned around, his expression vanished.

He looked meaningfully at the woman holding the Red Tassel Spear nearby, feeling increasingly uneasy.

How many more changes about her did he not know?

...

In the afternoon, Qi Tianyu, who was cramming for knowledge in the library, received a call from Jiang Li.

Curiously, he went outside to answer.

"Hello, Sister Li, what made you call me?"

"How many points did you score in your English college entrance exam?"

"What?" Qi Tianyu looked bewildered, "Did you just ask me how many points I scored in the English college entrance exam?"

"Yes." Jiang Li nodded, "I’m planning to take the college entrance exam next year."

"What?!!!" Qi Tianyu’s voice rose by a decibel, attracting disproving glances from passing people.

He quickly apologized and then covered the phone, whispering:

"Are you serious, sis? Are you really considering dropping out to retake the exam?"

"Of course I’m serious, why else would I call you?"

Though he had guessed the purpose of Jiang Li’s call, Qi Tianyu deliberately asked snidely—

"Why did you want to call me?"

Jiang Li smiled, "I just checked, and not one of the students on my list made it into a first-tier university. Wen Jiaojiao and the others’ scores are even less worth mentioning, but you are different. You are a student at Yan University, surely very experienced."

Qi Tianyu lit up.

Who let this sister always dominate him in variety shows? Now he finally found an opportunity to boast!
