CHAPTER 616: CHAPTER 585: WHAT IS SHE REALLY PRETENDING? (2)

She paused for a moment, then continued, "Second, go to the Imperial Capital Primary School to take the entrance test and see which grade is suitable for you to join."

The educational resources at the Jun Residence are naturally top-notch, and even the teaching materials are written by specially hired experts.

But Yan Yueqing did not make a direct decision and instead gave the choice to Ji Li. This child is always sensitive. She softly added, "Both choices are great, Auntie respects your opinion more." Her gaze was warm and encouraging, "What do you think?"

This kind of inquiry not only gave the child autonomy but also preserved his self-esteem.

Ji Li was stunned.

He knew he had some talent and had always been pondering why the noblewoman from Imperial City would choose him over such a long distance?

What exactly does he have that she wants?

Could it be like in ancient times when they would train death warriors? Treat you well first, and when they need you in the future, make you go all out?

Luckily, from Aunt Qin Youran’s affairs, he learned about the true face of Yan Yueqing. Otherwise, he would definitely be deceived by her kind appearance!

Aunt Qin...

She is the truly kind one...

She was the one who should have married into the Jun Residence!

And Yan Yueqing... every time she feigns kindness now, it disgusts Ji Li.

If it weren’t for her, Aunt Qin wouldn’t have ended up in prison, and that seemingly cool and aloof Mr. Jun was supposed to be Aunt Qin’s husband but was snatched away by the person in front of him?

And Jun Yan, since it’s a stepmother anyway, why does he have to choose Yan Yueqing over Aunt Qin?

Ji Li’s heart was complicated, and he subconsciously wanted to choose the Jun Residence. This way, he could subtly influence Jun Yan to pay more attention to Aunt Qin rather than Yan Yueqing.

But, he knew he was insignificant, and it seemed Jun Yan was very attached to this stepmother?

No matter how much he whispered in his ear, it wouldn’t make as much impact as one smile from this woman!

Let alone subtle influence, once Yan Yueqing discovers his intentions...

Better to forget it...

Aunt Qin had already been harmed to imprisonment by her; if he impulsively acts, the outcome would likely not be good.

Ji Li tightly clutched the edge of his clothes, his small body taut.

He lowered his eyes, hiding the surging emotions within them: "I... choose Imperial Capital Primary School."

His voice was light but carried stubbornness.

Yan Yueqing was a little surprised: "Can you tell Auntie why?"

Ji Li pursed his lips.

He knew the conditions at the Jun Residence were better, but he absolutely could not accept this woman’s "kindness"! These are all sugar-coated bullets, meant to pave the way for using him in the future.

"I want... to be with other kids." He found a reasonable excuse.

Yan Yueqing seemed to perceive something but just nodded, "Well, Auntie respects your choice."

Jun Yan keenly sensed the mood wasn’t right and interjected, "Is it the Imperial Capital Primary School down the hill from our home? When I’m free, can I go find Brother Li to play?"

"Of course you can." Yan Yueqing smiled, "You’re the host, you should take good care of Brother Li in Imperial City."

Ji Li spoke, his head hung even lower: "Can I... board at school?"

"Board at school?" The three children were a bit surprised.

Tang Tang was very curious: "Brother Li isn’t going to the Jun Residence?"

Ji Li suppressed the distaste in his eyes, insisting, "I want to board at school."

The Jun Residence is good, but not suitable for him.

Staying at this estate for two days, besides being stunned, he was still stunned. In such an extravagant environment... the Jun Residence must be a hundred times more magnificent than this!

He must not be assimilated into such an environment, he must study hard and make something of himself!

In the future... he’ll be able to right the wrongs for Aunt Qin!

Yan Yueqing didn’t think much, agreeing: "Okay, the Imperial Capital Primary School doesn’t have dorms, but not far from it is a sanatorium with a very quiet environment. Since you want to board, why not arrange a suite for you at the sanatorium and bring your grandma to live together?"

"Really?"

Ji Li suddenly looked up, a trace of surprise flashing in his eyes.

Even though he knew Yan Yueqing had ill intentions, he was still pleasantly surprised by such an arrangement, "Really can... bring Grandma?" The expectation in his voice couldn’t be hidden.

"Of course, your grandma needs to recuperate. The sanatorium has professional medical staff to care for her daily. You can accompany her after school, and she’ll surely be very happy."

Ji Li’s mind wasn’t clear, but Grandma Ji’s was very sharp.

With her around, Ji Li probably wouldn’t resist him for long.

Yan Yueqing continued, "Doctors there will regularly check on your grandma to monitor the effects of the new medication."

New medication?

Ji Li’s pupils contracted sharply, his face instantly turning pale.

He clenched his fists tightly, nails digging deep into his palms.

As expected......

As expected, it is like this!
