Ancestor's Manual for Raising Idiots

"Mom? Of course I'm living well." Xiao Jun stated as he was standing beside the balcony on a call, "Yes? I'm eating healthy, yes, even bathing every day; don't worry! Oh, by the way, Xiao Mei was about to graduate from middle school, right?"

[Yes, it's next month.]

"I was thinking about moving you all to the city. I started some business here, and it's starting to show profits, so I thought you all would move in here."

[How can we give you so much trouble, Jun? You are still in university; if we move in, then---]

"Don't worry about my issues. I have plenty of wealth! Anyways, I'm visiting home next month; I will discuss the moving plan then!" Xiao Jun chuckled, and before his mother could respond, he ended the call.

"Did you finish the call?" Ao Shen questioned as he was sitting right over the balcony, enjoying the view from his villa with morning coffee in hand.

"Yes, I think I can convince them to move by the next few months," Xiao Jun replied.

Ao Shen didn't have much reaction to this; there was a sense of happiness but also a feeling like something he lost. "Good..." Ao Shen remarked, taking another sip of his coffee.

"Ancestor..." Xiao Jun seemed to sense something, but Ao Shen just stood up with a grin, "Okay then! Let's get going to your university!"

"University?" Xiao Jun questioned in confusion, "Why are you coming to my university? You aren't even a student there! In the first place, why do you want to go to my university???"

"Didn't you want opportunities?" Ao Shen chuckled while standing back up, "Worry not; this Ancestor is the best Cupid the world has seen in the last million years!"

"No! No! No! You aren't coming to my university!!! My life isn't a game for your amusement!!!" Xiao Jun immediately rejected the offer and grabbed his phone lying over the table and left in a rush.

"You can't use my life for your entertainment!!!" Even as he left, he was still full of denial about Ao Shen's intentions, but Ao Shen, on the other hand, was just full of plain smiles.

"Rejecting Ancestor's generosity?" He chuckled, "How courageous!" he remarked before taking out his phone to dial up a number.

"Mr. Bai Xianyu, I'm not disturbing you at your busy hours, am I?"

[How dare I be busy when it's you who is calling me?! What can I do for you?]

Bai Xianyu responded full of laughter

"Haha! You did some background checks on us, right?" Ao Shen remarked with a giggle, but his casual statement filled Bai Xianyu with cold sweats from head to toe. He suddenly jumped back up from his seat inside the cabin, wiping sweat from his forehead.

"I-I! I apologise for offending--!"

[Oh! Don't misunderstand.]

Ao Shen scoffed with a chuckle and with a hint of coldness in his pupils, questioning, "You must have collected some details about my nephew Xiao Jun, right? Why don't you mail it to me? It will reduce some of my troubles."

[Right away, sir, please just wait a moment! Secretary Wang----]

*Toot*

Ao Shen ended the call with a little smile; he was just humming, but it didn't take even about a minute before all the data was Xiao Jun got mailed directly to his phone

"What a helpful little guy~" Ao Shen giggled and opened the data, and as expected, there was a lot, right from his childhood to the days when he suddenly disappeared from the city.

'There is no mention of people who kidnapped him, huh? Are those little ants on a higher scale than the Great Bai Family?' Ao Shen hummed some melody before a smile emerged back on his face, "Well, counting the length of grass under the feet isn't really my way of walking over it."

Ao Shen chuckled, and finally, with his eyes on what he wanted, he dialled up Bai Xianyu's number once again. "I'm sorry for disturbing you again, but can you help me buy something? It's a bit urgent, haha."

[Of course, Sir Ao Shen! The Bai Family always ensures its benefactors are comfortable. What can I do for you?]

Ao Shen smiled, "About that..." he muttered, his eyes watching as Xiao Jun left the estate of the mansion in the black car in his hand.

*********

About half an hour later, at Qinghe University, the campus gates buzzed with the morning rush of students, laughter and chatter filling the crisp air as groups poured in.

The youngsters all full of light in their eyes, full of life and happiness as they walked with their friends

And just then a sleek red sports car purred to a stop right at the entrance, drawing the eyes of all the students like bees to honey.

"Whoa, look at that car!"

"It's an Aston Martin! That thing costs over a million!"

"Who is the owner??"

"Damn..."

Stepping out from the car with exaggerated nonchalance was a youngster wearing a flashy blue suit over a white T-shirt inside; his whole demeanour was full of eye-catching things, be it the exaggerated expensive watch in hand or the flashy red-highlighted hair hanging from the left corner of his blonde-dyed hair.

The people instantly recognised this familiar personality; most faces were full of tired frowns, and many with jealousy

'Liu Hao, the damn self-proclaimed star of the business department... He is trying to impress 'Yu Lian,' the campus queen, again. The people who were already familiar just released a deep sigh and prepared for another session of self-worshipping.

And as expected, Liu Hao adjusted his designer suit, flashing a grin at the small crowd forming nearby.

"New year, new ride," Liu Hao smirked, running a hand through his perfectly styled hair. "Had to upgrade. The last one felt... outdated."

'Who asked?'

'Talking to himself? Is bro mentally alright?'

'Thank God my parents didn't neglect me, or I would be also like him; I don't even have wealth...'

'Cringe...'

The people frowned but said nothing, because even as they were tired of this man. The car beside him was indeed still expensive and impressive.

"It's still impressive..."

"Last I checked, this car cost 1.5 million, didn't it?"

"How did he manage to get it?"

"I'm so jealous~"

Students around made jealous comments; the guys were already busy taking pictures, and even several girls whispered excitedly, but one stood out—Yu Lian, the campus queen, passing by with her friends. Her beauty was like a quiet storm, elegant yet commanding attention wherever she went. The moment Liu Hao's eyes saw her, they immediately locked onto her.

"Lian! Fancy seeing you here," he called out, leaning casually against the car as if the vehicle was an extension of his charm. "Want to walk together to class?"

Before Yu Lian could respond, a low, throaty rumble echoed down the road, coming to a halt a few meters away.

A Black Pagani Huayra Roadster, smooth as liquid obsidian, glided up to the entrance. The type of car you didn't just buy—you had to know the right people to even get your name on the list. Its presence alone was enough to make the other red car parked beside it seem like an overpriced toy.

Students suddenly froze the moment they saw that car.

"Wait… is that a Pagani Huayra Roadster?"

"HOLY—those cost over 7 million!!"

"Who the hell drives that kind of car here?!"

The sleek vehicle came to a silent stop, and for a brief moment, the entire entrance hushed.

The back door opened smoothly, and out stepped Xiao Jun, adjusting the strap of his backpack.

But the whispers erupted instantly.

"That's economics department guy right? What the hell does his family even do??"

"Bro pulled up like he's a CEO!"

"Is he secretly some young master?"

"Forget Liu Hao's car. This thing's on a whole different level!"

Liu Hao's smile stiffened as he watched Xiao Jun ignoring all the crowd gathering over the parking at the entrance inside the campus walls; he tightened his grip over the key in his hand as he watched him leave with narrowed eyes.

'Who is this fucker?!' his eyes glowed with hostility as he watched Xiao Jun leaving, full of hatred, but just then

"Wait... isn't that Xiao Jun?" someone whispered. Liu Hao's eyes instantly lit up as he heard the name, and his eyes scanned the crowd, also full of confusion; most didn't seem to even recognise Xiao Jun.

'You damn no-name bastard...' he scoffed, slowly losing his anger as he realised most people didn't even know Xiao Jun, but just as he was ready to leave it as it is, his eyes fell over Yu Lian, whose eyes seemed to be captivated by Xiao Jun, just walking away, listening to music with earphones stuck in his ears.

"Xiao Jun..." Yu Lian muttered, and her eyes just glanced at the two cars standing over the entrance, one like a giant's declaration and the other like a cheap toy placed here to shine the black one even more.

"What an interesting guy." Yu Lian giggled and left, but this little act of hers caught Liu Hao's attention, the eyes that had relaxed instantly lit up with fury to the point of turning his whole body red in rage and veins popping all over his throat.

"Xiao Jun... You are so fucked."
