Chapter 137: Training the Sister-in-Law as a Spy for the Feng Family!

“Jiang Zhou, I heard you got arrested!”

“Wasn’t it supposed to be fifteen days of detention? How are you already out?”

The moment Jiang Zhou returned to the dorm, the three roommates immediately surrounded him.

As the saying goes: good news never leaves the house, but bad news travels a thousand miles. And it only grows more outrageous the further it spreads.

He was clearly just questioned by the Food Supervision Bureau.

But somehow, after passing through enough mouths, the story turned into some kind of R-rated scandal.

“Scram, scram, scram, don’t talk nonsense with me.”

Changing into his slippers, Jiang Zhou waved them off. “I was dragged out to drink, okay? And they even stuffed me full of duck necks.”

Xu Haodong smirked knowingly. “Don’t bother covering it up. We’re all men here.”

“You’re already pissing blood, aren’t you? Not many manly days left for you, eh?”

“Get lost!!”

Ignoring them, Jiang Zhou stripped off his clothes and collapsed onto his bed.

He lay in silence for a while before typing in a QQ number.

The avatar was that of a non-mainstream teenage girl, with the tagline: ‘Don’t mess with me, you can’t handle it.’

Tch. This cringe-worthy emo girl.

Jiang Zhou sent a friend request and quietly waited.

The account belonged to none other than Feng Siruo’s younger sister, Feng Yiyi.

Of course, he didn’t actually know her QQ number.

He had fished it out from the message board on Feng Siruo’s social media.

Since the Feng family seemed to have set their sights on him, he figured he couldn’t just sit back passively.

So he made a decision, he would train his sister-in-law into a little spy, someone who could feed him information.

The request was soon accepted.

“Who are you?”

“It’s me, your brother-in-law.”

Feng Yiyi instantly replied with an angry emoji, “You’re one of my sister’s classmates, right? Chasing her? Digging through her profile and then adding her little sister? You think that’s funny?”

Jiang Zhou blinked. “Wow, you guessed that fast. Wait… has this happened before?”

“Not many times. But not exactly rare either.”

“What nonsense?”

“Hardly anyone has seen my sister’s face in person. But if they have, they always add me next, hoping I’ll put in a good word.”

“So you’re pretty experienced, huh? How about you put in a good word for me too?”

Feng Yiyi replied firmly, “No deal. My sister already has a boyfriend. Delete.”

Jiang Zhou shot up from bed. “What? Who is he?!”

“A classmate from her year. So you can give up.”

“Oh, I get it. It’s Jiang Zhou, right?”

Feng Yiyi sent a shocked emoji. “How do you know that name? You two know each other?”

Jiang Zhou grinned. “Yeah. I beat him. He said he’d hand your sister over to me.”

“Bullshit! Everyone at school is afraid of Jiang Zhou. Who do you think you are?”

“He’s really that godlike? And who told you this nonsense?”

“Obviously my sister!”

“Impossible. Everyone knows Jiang Zhou forced your sister into being with him.”

Feng Yiyi sent a mocking emoji. “My sister says his name even in her sleep. You call that forced?”

Jiang Zhou widened his eyes. “I don’t believe it. You must be making that up. Unless… tell me exactly what she said.”

“When she’s asleep, she always mumbles: ‘Jiang Zhou, let’s run away together.’”

“…”

Jiang Zhou chuckled.

Eloping? That had romance novel written all over it. Definitely something Ding Yue had put in her head.

The classic tale: noble young lady, poor scholar, forbidden love, so they run away together.

Clearly, from the moment she liked him, Feng Siruo had been worrying about her family’s opposition nonstop.

Ding!

[Friend has deleted you]

The notification made Jiang Zhou freeze.

Seriously? Deleted just like that?

Helplessly, he sent another request.

“What do you want? I told you, my sister has a boyfriend!”

“Little fool, I really am your brother-in-law.”

She sent a shocked emoji. “Wait, only he knows that 1+1=2. You’re really Jiang Zhou?!”

Jiang Zhou typed quickly. “That’s right. I am your brilliant and mighty brother-in-law.”

“Then why are you only adding me now?!”

“I was too shy, of course.”

“But sis said the first time you met her, you immediately called her ‘wife.’”

“…”

She sent a laughing emoji. “Shameless.”

Jiang Zhou rubbed his temples. “Enough nonsense. What are you doing now?”

“Studying. Next year I’m applying to your school.”

“Perfect. When you get in, I’ll protect you. You’ll have so much freedom, you could crawl around campus if you want.”

“Crawling’s for turtles! You should say I can walk sideways like a crab!”

“Fine. Crawl, walk sideways, even diagonally, you choose.”

“So, brother-in-law, why did you add me all of a sudden?”

“Tell me, has your aunt returned to Beihai yet?”

She sent a confused emoji. “Nope. She’s been in Shangjing this whole time.”

Jiang Zhou thought for a moment. “If someone tried to break me and your sister up… would you help us?”

“You mean Auntie? She’d really do that?”

“No, just hypothetically.”

“I wouldn’t dare. Auntie’s too powerful, even Dad listens to her.”

“Tch. So much for me spoiling you. Forget it, go away.”

She spammed bomb emojis. “When did you ever spoil me? You only added me today!”

Jiang Zhou remembered that he had been reborn. “I’ll spoil you in the future. For now, just tell me. You wouldn’t want to see your sister heartbroken, right?”

“Of course not!”

“Well, leaving me would break her heart. You get that, right?”

“…Then fine. Tell me what I need to do.”

“Keep track of everyone from your family coming to Shangjing. Report to me.”

“Only Auntie’s here. She was supposed to go back tomorrow, but she called today to say she’d stay a few more days.”

“Why?”

“I don’t know. Dad told me.”

Reading this, Jiang Zhou felt a wave of unease.

So it really was Feng Siruo’s aunt digging pits for him?

And now she was extending her stay because her first attempt had failed and she wanted another go?

This was too much!

If in his past life she hadn’t sent that wedding gift, then fine, he wouldn’t mind clashing with her.

But now, with her having been the only Feng family member to bless his marriage, this situation was painful.

“Brother-in-law, why aren’t you saying anything?”

“It’s fine. Just thinking about something important.”

“Has Auntie already met you?”

“I can’t be sure. Do you… have a photo of her?”

“Nope. Why?”

“Without knowing her face, I can’t even dodge. That puts me at a disadvantage.”

“I don’t get it… but okay. Anyway, I’ve got homework to do.”

“Go ahead. Next time, I’ll have Siruo bring you a gift.”

“Yay!”

After ending the chat, Jiang Zhou shut his phone and lay down in bed.

He really didn’t want to go against the only Feng family member who had once wished him well.

But if she kept targeting him, he had to prepare a plan.

After all, he couldn’t rely on past bonds forever. Even clay figurines had temper.

Still, having a little sister-in-law spy on his side was promising.

In his last life, she’d been blocked from attending the wedding and cried for three days.

This time, if she could help him, that would be a blessing.

During break, he’d have Feng Siruo bring her gifts.

She didn’t lack anything as a Feng family princess.

But it would still show his sincerity as her brother-in-law.

With that thought, Jiang Zhou nodded, closed his eyes, and drifted to sleep.

The bright moon and scattered stars kept watch as night passed swiftly into morning.
