ust Emilio. He's been constantly showing off in front of Leah anyway, so let him have his fill and see how it feels to have a rock he throws hit himself.And with ripples so certain, after he leaves, E...General Du tacitly agreed with his grandson's statement, after all, that illegitimate son was the best proof. So he chose to directly ask his grandson what he wanted to do.

"Grandfather, there are still fourteen years before I come of age. That mother and son can't wait, nor will my father. And with me having measured out a useless physique, they won't allow me to stand in their way."

So I'm going to give myself three years, they can wait three years. During this time, I hope that Grandfather will gradually withdraw all his support from my father, and I will also quickly sort out everything left by my mother.

Three years from now, when the mother and son return, I will leave. At that time, I hope Grandfather can help me find a safe place to live and be my guardian until I am an adult. As for what happens after that, we'll just have to take it one step at a time.

Ripple slowly told about her plans.

"Lian Yi, if you don't want to stay at the Wu family, you can come to your maternal grandfather's place anytime. We'll take care of everything, you don't have to worry about it."

"Grandfather, please rest assured. I am not a weakling. I will handle all of this. I just need to use your name when negotiating with my father, hoping to gain his permission."

The ripples' words were polite, but also respectful.

"You are my grandson, and I am naturally your support. You can use me freely; if anything happens, I'll take care of it."

General Du said in a domineering voice.

Thank you, grandpa!

The ripples bowed respectfully.

At this moment, Ian's soft voice rang out:

"Master, General Wu is back."

"I understand!"

A ripple gave a languid reply, then turned to General Du and said, "Goodbye."

"Child, don't be afraid. Talk to your father nicely. If he still makes things difficult for you, contact me again."

"Okay, Grandfather, don't worry, I know what to do."

At this moment, Lian Yi flashed a faint smile and then hung up the phone.

General Du remained lost in thought for a long time. The smiling face was so similar to his own daughter, Du Yi, it was as if they were carved from the same mold. At first glance, one could tell they were members of the Du family.

"Old man, what are you daydreaming about"

A voice came from the doorway.

Lianyi just called me.

"Is Li An alright Did he say anything Was he bullied"

The woman's voice, slightly hoarse, came urgently.

"Don't worry, ma'am. The child was just saying hello to me. He has his own plans and perhaps he will move in with us in three years."

General Du smiled and said.

He had already automatically offered to tell them about the ripples and help find them a safe place to stay, suggesting they move in with them. After all, what could be safer than living in a general's mansion

This child is like Ii, keeping everything bottled up inside. They tell us good news but never bad.

The woman speaking had half-white hair, but it was still meticulously combed and tied back. A closer look revealed a five-point resemblance to Lian Yi's appearance.

"It probably won't happen again."

General Du, holding his wife's hand, left the study and went for a stroll in the garden. It was then that he told her about his phone call with Lian Yi.

On the other side, ripples returned to her original room and changed into a new set of clothes. Through the mirror, she saw her current appearance: 1.9 meters tall, the standard height of the United Empire, but she was too thin, feeling like only bones were left.

He has fair skin, handsome features with a scholarly and elegant appearance, slightly youthful. He is almost a replica of his mother's face, with a hint of both masculinity and femininity. His neat, reddish-brown short hair makes him look very clean and refreshing. Perhaps due to the blessing of the Ripple soul, the youthfulness has vanished, replaced by calmness and confidence.

The ripple brushed against the silver bracelet on her wrist. It was a smart brain, specially made for her son by his mother.

The bracelet, which was two fingers wide, had a thumbnail-sized purple crystal embedded in the center. Two crescent-shaped milky white jade pieces were inlaid on either side of the crystal, giving the entire bracelet an elegant and high-end look. It made Wu Lian envious for a long time. After the original owner's death, the bracelet fell into his hands.

This brain contains all records from his birth to the present, and it can also connect to all public networks of the United Empire. And Ian is the artificial intelligence, also named after his mother by the original person.

"Master, the General has just finished his phone call with Xue Wenjing. You can go see him now."

Ian's voice echoed by Ripple's ear.

It's estimated that Wu Yishan doesn't even know that he has been under Ian's surveillance since the moment he stepped into this house.

"Okay, I'll be there now."

Ripple straightened his shirt collar and then turned away from his room. At the door to the study, he met the old butler, who stepped forward and whispered,

"Your grandfather is in a good mood today, you should have a good talk with him. Don't fight with your father like the past two days."

"I know, last time I was wrong. I'm here to apologize to my father."

Liàn yī smiled faintly, but she didn't show any respect to the old butler.

After all, this old man gradually switched sides after Wu Lianbo moved in. He only serves the future heir of the Wu family, not some useless good-for-nothing like him.

Ripples knocked on the study door, and after a moment, the door opened automatically.

"Father, are you busy now I have something to tell you."

Ripple entered the study and addressed the tall man sitting at his desk.

This is the original body's father. He has a strong build, bronze skin, a square face, thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a black buzz cut. At a glance, you can tell he is a standard military man.

From appearances alone, it's hard to tell that the two are father and son. However, Wu Lianbo resembles Wu Yishan very closely. Because of his resemblance, he naturally won Wu Yishan's favor.

"Have a seat! I have something to tell you."

Wu Yishan got up and sat down on the white sofa beside him, facing Lian Yi directly.

To be honest, he had high hopes for his son before. But after the aptitude test, his heart sank half way.

Just at that moment, Xue Wenjing appeared with her child in front of him. Without a paternity test, he knew that was his child. After several interactions, he liked the child more and more. Just as he was about to confront his wife, she suddenly passed away. This led him to believe it was fate's arrangement.

But his wife had just passed away, and he brought his illegitimate son back. If this got out, people would question his character. As a general of the Empire, he naturally cared about his reputation, so he put this matter on hold for now.

He also soothed Xue Wenjing and her son, giving his promise that once his wife's affairs were settled, he would find a way to bring them back. Luckily, Xue Wenjing wasn't foolish and obediently agreed.

Until his wife's funeral was over, Lian Yi's emotions stabilized. He only told Lian Yi about this matter, but he didn't expect the child's reaction to be so great, almost collapsing and shouting at him angrily. The two finally parted ways unhappily.

Today, Xue Wenjing came again. He thought his son would argue with him as before, but this time, his son's expression was surprisingly calm, a calmness that was terrifying.for protection. Everyone had seen this man before, it was Helena.Ripple saw Helena and smiled, bowing:"Helena Knight, it's good to see you again.""Master Lian, it's so nice to see you again! You don't...
