Su Jiang got out of the car and looked around.
It was indeed a spacious courtyard, typical of an underworld family, with a flower bed and a fountain in the middle. Some members of the An family, dressed in black suits, stood around, curiously looking at him.
“Who is that guy? He looks quite young, a student?”
“Oh my, why is Miss An Rou by his side? Who is he?”
“Wait, didn’t you notice the main point? They seem to be wearing couple outfits!”
“Oh my god, is little witch An Rou in a relationship?”
The atmosphere among the An family members was markedly different from other underworld families.
There was no rigid hierarchy here; it felt more like a harmonious big family. Therefore, their discussions were open and candid.
Moreover, An Rou was the darling of the An family, many members having watched her grow up. Hence, there was a lot of curiosity about Su Jiang’s identity, leading to a buzz of discussions.
However, these discussions inadvertently reached An Rou’s ears. She furrowed her brows slightly, blinked her bright eyes, and glanced casually at their outfits.
It did seem a bit like couple outfits, stirring a ripple of emotions in her heart.
“Enough noise!” An Rou suddenly pouted, her voice crisp with a hint of embarrassment, “All of you, go wash your eyes. How can you think we’re wearing couple outfits?” Her words carried a touch of coquettishness, but couldn’t hide a hint of fluster in her heart.
The An family members chuckled at the scene. They were used to An Rou’s temperament and had been scolded by her before. They knew she wasn’t genuinely angry.
“Stop now, Miss An Rou is upset.”
“Hehehe, Miss An Rou isn’t angry, she’s probably just feeling shy…”
“Bro, I recorded that. I’ll report it to Miss An Rou later. Your days are numbered.”
“No, man, don’t do this to me.”
“I bet 200.”
“…Damn!”
An Rou’s cheeks flushed, stomping her foot in frustration. She turned to look for Su Jiang but couldn’t find him, leaving her momentarily puzzled.
Where did Su Jiang, such a big guy, disappear to right after getting out of the car?
*Cough… Miss, Brother Su is over there.* The bodyguard pointed in a direction, somewhat speechless.
An Rou followed the direction indicated by the finger, and the scene before her almost made her see smoke coming out of her seven orifices.
She saw Su Jiang leisurely leaning against the side, one hand casually in his pocket, fingertips holding a cigarette, looking nonchalant, engrossed in a lively conversation with a member of the An family.
*You don’t know, Miss An Rou used to be quite fierce…*
*Haha, really? She used to be like that…* Su Jiang listened with relish, looking excited, seemingly full of curiosity about An Rou’s “fierce” history.
*And also… um.*
The An family member looked excited, about to chat a bit more with Su Jiang, but suddenly caught sight of An Rou walking towards them.
*Uh, I suddenly remembered the leader’s task I haven’t completed yet. I need to go attend to it first.*
Realizing the situation was turning awkward, he quickly found an excuse, not waiting for Su Jiang’s response, and hurriedly turned away.
Su Jiang was taken aback. Weren’t they having a good chat? Why did he suddenly leave?
He was still curious about the An family’s matters.
Suddenly, Su Jiang shivered, feeling a cold chill run down his spine, piercing through to his core.
He suddenly turned around, only to see An Rou standing quietly behind him, looking at him with a “gentle” expression on her face, but the smile sent shivers down his spine.
“Um… If I say he insisted on chatting with me, do you believe me?” Su Jiang cautiously swallowed, trying to defend himself.
“What do you think?” An Rou’s voice was icy, devoid of any warmth.
Then, a crisp “click” sounded.
A forceful foot stomped on Su Jiang’s foot, and An Rou still felt unsatisfied.
She had been worried that Su Jiang would be nervous, but now it seemed he showed no signs of nervousness at all!
She extended her slender fingers, firmly pinching a small piece of flesh at Su Jiang’s waist and giving it a hard twist.
“You’re quite capable, eager to inquire about my childhood as soon as you get off the car.”
“Hiss! It wasn’t me asking, he insisted on chatting with me.”
“You’re already smoking?”
“He handed it to me, I couldn’t just refuse, right?”
“Hmph!”
An Rou snorted coldly, her gaze sweeping around, noticing many members of the An family secretly observing them with gossipy smiles on their faces.
To the An family members, An Rou and Su Jiang’s appearance seemed like a couple flirting with each other.
“I’ll let you off this time, hurry up and follow me!”
An Rou glared at Su Jiang, not giving him a chance to explain, and directly took his hand, striding into the entrance of the An family.
In the living room, An Mingjie sat quietly on the sofa, his hands casually crossed in front of his chest, listening to the reports from his subordinates.
Upon hearing footsteps, he looked up, catching the sight of An Rou leading Su Jiang slowly inside, their tightly held hands briefly catching his attention.
Then, he elegantly raised a hand, gesturing for his subordinate to pause the report.
Subsequently, An Mingjie slowly stood up, a warm smile appearing on his face, as gentle as a spring breeze, creating a favorable impression.
“Rou Rou is back. This is Su Jiang, right?”
An Mingjie stepped forward, extending his hand towards Su Jiang. Su Jiang hesitated for a second, then likewise reached out his hand, tightly shaking hands with An Mingjie.
“Hello, Young Master An.”
The playful smile on Su Jiang’s face faded, replaced by a hint of seriousness.
Although An Mingjie’s words and actions gave off a friendly vibe, lacking any hint of aggression, Su Jiang feared this type of person the most.
Su Jiang knew well that as the helmsman of the An family, beneath An Mingjie’s gentle facade, there must be a dormant wildness.
At that moment, the system notification sound rang out.
[Congratulations to the host for completing the task, fulfilling the agreement with An Rou, and receiving a random reward!]
[Random reward being drawn…]
[Congratulations to the host for acquiring the low-level skill – Dirty Clubbing!]
Su Jiang was momentarily speechless. What kind of skill was this, and why such a name? It sounded far from elegant.
“What’s the use of this skill?” Su Jiang asked inwardly.
[The host, when using a club-type weapon and attacking from behind, can stun the opponent 100% of the time. The stun effect is related to the intensity of the attack!]
“…Sh*t!”
Su Jiang could only conclude that it truly lived up to being a low-level skill, not entirely useless but somewhat lacking in practicality.
With his current skills, he didn’t need this skill to easily incapacitate an opponent, right?
Moreover, as a model student, how could he resort to such underhanded tactics?
The system seemed off, trying to lead him astray.
