Chapter 434 - 417: Going on a Mission

When Yun Jiao’s brothers showed up, the other kids completely lost their nerve.

The hot-tempered Yun Xiaowu still wanted to fight, but Yun Jiao quickly pulled him back.

’The teacher’s still here. Why are they trying to fight?’

She didn’t know what those kids were thinking. They knew her brothers were protective of her, yet they still came specifically to provoke her.

"Yun Chenqin, she’s not even your real sister! Why are you so protective of her?"

The girl leading the group was particularly stubborn, glaring at Yun Jiao as she asked.

Her gaze then turned to Yun Xiaowu, filled with a sense of grievance.

Yun Xiaowu glared back even more fiercely. "Mind your own damn business! What does it matter to you if Jiaojiao is my real sister or not? Who do you think you are, coming to bully her just because she isn’t? You’ve got some nerve."

"You don’t remember me? You saved me last time."

Her name was Hu Yan. She had provoked some people and was cornered and beaten up outside the school. It was Yun Xiaowu and his brothers who saw what was happening and chased those people away.

Kids at this age didn’t really understand romance, but in that moment, Hu Yan started paying attention to Yun Xiaowu.

Yun Xiaowu, in particular, caught her eye. Although his grades were poor, he was great at sports. He was popular at school, surrounded by a group of friends wherever he went, and always the center of attention.

Many kids their age thought someone like that was cool and impressive.

She especially noticed how well Yun Xiaowu and the others treated Yun Jiao—so well that it made her want to take Yun Jiao’s place.

So, Hu Yan grew jealous. She wanted to be the one Yun Xiaowu and his brothers paid attention to and protected.

When she heard that Yun Jiao wasn’t Yun Chenqin’s biological sister, she gathered a few of her friends to stir up trouble.

What can you say? Kids are young and think simply. When they want to do something, they just do it.

Hu Yan felt that since Yun Jiao wasn’t related by blood, she had no right to enjoy their affection.

Yun Xiaowu thought this girl was crazy. "I’ve saved tons of people. Who the hell are you?"

There used to be a lot of hooligans around their school. Yun Xiaowu, having a strong sense of justice and a bit of a hero complex, couldn’t stand by and watch injustice. Whenever he saw someone being bullied, he liked to step in and help.

Of course, he wasn’t an idiot. He would only step in after making sure he could win the fight and that the other party wasn’t armed.

Acting on heroism alone, without any regard for the consequences, was just plain stupid.

He had no intention of sacrificing himself for others.

The teacher stepped in to mediate, and in the end, Hu Yan ran off crying.

The teacher shook his head. ’Kids these days...’

Yun Xiaowu patted Yun Jiao’s hair and then warned the others.

"Jiaojiao is my sister. If anyone dares to bully her again, don’t blame me and my brothers for getting nasty."

The kids from Bailong Village also stood up, forming a protective circle around Yun Jiao.

"And us."

Ironically, out of everyone there, Yun Jiao was the best fighter.

Still, Yun Jiao’s heart felt warm.

The teacher didn’t stop them. ’This is for the best. It’ll keep anyone else from trying to bother Yun Jiao.’

From that day on, no one at school looked down on Yun Jiao anymore, let alone tried to cause her trouble.

Of course, people with truly malicious intentions were rare.

Children’s thoughts were mostly simple. It was only when parents showed contempt that their kids would learn and imitate that behavior.

However, Yun Jiao didn’t care what those people thought.

She wouldn’t be at this school for long anyway, and she had many other things to take care of.

During this time, Uncle Gu had been gradually selling her antiques and taking some of her gemstones abroad for auction.

Foreigners had a special fondness for those kinds of gems, and they had deep pockets.

The gems Yun Jiao provided were not only of high quality and rare color, but also large. They fetched prices even higher than the antiques.

She had finally gathered enough money to buy the island.

So on this day, six-year-old Yun Jiao, accompanied by her guardians, used her military connections to go and buy the island.

"Are you... are you really sure you want to buy that island?!"

This was the first time the local marine management department had ever handled such a massive deal.

After accompanying them to see the island, they couldn’t help but gasp.

The island was so huge it would take them a long time just to circle it by boat.

That was a hundred million!

At that time, who besides the major families could possibly come up with that much money?

After several more confirmations, the procedures were finally completed a few days later.

Thanks to some discounts, the price wasn’t as high as Yun Jiao had expected. The final deal was closed at a hundred million.

Just like that, Yun Jiao went from a little rich girl to being broke.

The people at the Marine Management Bureau were still in a daze.

’Who... who on earth is this kid? How could she actually come up with such a huge sum of money?’

Even Gu Lan Ting was quite impressed by Yun Jiao’s audacity.
