- Chapter 25 - Xie Jiang Jiang seems really sad

The two of them stared at each other silently for a moment, until Jiang Jiang yawned again, pulling Ji Xu’an’s wandering thoughts back.
“I understand, I’ll have someone take care of this matter.” Ji Xu’an looked at the weariness on Jiang Jiang’s face that she couldn’t hide, and the corners of her lips seemed to curve upwards slightly.
“Afterwards, if you encounter Zheng Zhouzhou again, you don’t need to be too polite to her.”
Jiang Jiang hesitated, “She’s Xiao Yuan’s friend after all.”
“Friend?” Ji Xu’an didn’t think so, “She’s just someone to relieve Xiao Yuan’s boredom.”
If Zheng Zhouzhou sincerely treated Ji Heyuan as a friend, Ji Xu’an wouldn’t look down on her so much.
What she was targeting wasn’t Zheng Zhouzhou’s identity as a celebrity, but because Zheng Zhouzhou had only ever treated Ji Heyuan as a ladder to climb up.
The reason why Ji Xu’an kept this person around was firstly because she didn’t want to argue with Ji Heyuan, and secondly, she wanted to hone Ji Heyuan.
Xiao Yuan was spoiled by her and her grandmother. On the surface, she looked pampered and tyrannical, but in reality, her personality was still mostly innocent.
She was too easy to trust others, and she was soft-hearted. As long as others told her some “sincere words” that were half true and half false, Ji Heyuan would immediately treat them as confidants.
Zheng Zhouzhou, for the time being, could be considered a whetstone that Ji Xu’an left for Ji Heyuan.
Ji Xu’an was confident that she could suppress Zheng Zhouzhou, so she allowed the other party to continue to approach Ji Heyuan.
Jiang Jiang could guess Ji Xu’an’s thoughts. She knew that Ji Xu’an might not immediately move against Zheng Zhouzhou, but similarly, Ji Xu’an would never allow things to get out of her control.
Zheng Zhouzhou was destined to be transparent in front of Ji Xu’an.
Ji Xu’an probably always thought that she knew Zheng Zhouzhou well enough, but at this time, Jiang Jiang told her that Zheng Zhouzhou seemed to have some small secrets that Ji Xu’an didn’t know. Even if it wasn’t for Jiang Jiang, Ji Xu’an would definitely investigate Zheng Zhouzhou carefully.
So Jiang Jiang wasn’t worried that Ji Xu’an’s words just now were perfunctory.
“I’ll listen to Sister, and I won’t pay attention to her in the future.” Jiang Jiang said obediently.
She folded her hands, pressing half of her face on her forearm, and the soft flesh on her cheeks was squeezed slightly, and the innocent and soft childishness came over her face, making it difficult for Ji Xu’an to raise her guard against her.
“Go to sleep if you’re sleepy.” Ji Xu’an said, “I’ll clean up the dishes later.”
Jiang Jiang had already said everything she wanted to say, and she was indeed so sleepy that she could hardly open her eyes, so she didn’t stand on ceremony with Ji Xu’an when she heard this.
“Sister, then I’ll go back to my room first, you should rest early too.”
Jiang Jiang said, and slowly stood up. She rubbed her eyes unconsciously, and by the time she put down her arms, even the corners of her eyes had been rubbed red.
This pitiful appearance made Ji Xu’an want to laugh a little. In addition, Jiang Jiang’s unceremonious attitude made Ji Xu’an even more relaxed.
What she enjoyed was this intimate feeling like family. If Jiang Jiang was polite and courteous everywhere, Ji Xu’an would find it boring instead.
“Go to sleep, good night.”
Jiang Jiang hummed, “Good night, Sister.”
She raised her foot and walked towards her room, leaving Ji Xu’an behind. When she closed the door with her backhand, Jiang Jiang’s eyes were already clear, without a trace of sleepiness.
…
When Jiang Jiang got up on the first morning, Ji Xu’an had already left, but Jiang Jiang found the breakfast that Ji Xu’an had left for her on the table in the dining room.
She reached out and probed it, and it was still warm.
Because the time for her to go to class in the morning overlapped with the time for Old Lady Ji to get up, Jiang Jiang didn’t go to the nursing home in the morning, but went directly to school.
The previous two days were registration days, and today should be the first day of freshman enrollment. The classes and counselors hadn’t been assigned yet, so a temporary counselor was temporarily responsible for taking them to understand the school and major.
Although she couldn’t officially attend classes yet, Jiang Jiang still felt it was very novel.
The women of in Ancient times were not qualified to go to the academy to study, but wealthy families would often hire female teachers to teach at home, but even so, it was only a few noble girls listening to the teacher lecturing at the same time.
There had never been a situation like now, where hundreds of students, regardless of gender, listened to lectures together.
However, this was also Jiang Jiang’s misunderstanding. In fact, there weren’t that many students in a class. Today, because the classes hadn’t been divided yet, the teachers called all the students in the photography major together, preparing to hold a small meeting first.
For this meeting, they also specially applied for the right to use a small auditorium in the school.
The auditorium was above the cafeteria, and all the students had to gather in the square outside the cafeteria first. Because everyone wasn’t very familiar with each other, they basically formed small groups based on their dormitories.
But Jiang Jiang didn’t live on campus, and didn’t have familiar roommates. She didn’t know anything about the others, so she could only stand alone and carefully observe everyone around her.
Fortunately, this was exactly what Jiang Jiang wanted, so she didn’t feel lost.
In fact, it wasn’t that no one wanted to talk to Jiang Jiang. After all, her appearance and temperament were very prominent in the crowd, but because she was too dazzling, it made people feel timid, and subconsciously thought that she wasn’t easy to approach.
Everyone only dared to look at her secretly with their eyes, but no one dared to come forward and talk to her.
Ji Heyuan squeezed over at this time.
In fact, she had noticed Jiang Jiang from the beginning. Ji Heyuan didn’t intend to show too much closeness to Jiang Jiang at school. She was afraid that someone would tie her and Jiang Jiang together, and maybe the two of them would become the subject of other people’s talk.
But Ji Heyuan couldn’t bear Jiang Jiang’s pitiful appearance, as if she was isolated by everyone. The liveliness and laughter belonged to others, and Jiang Jiang had nothing.
“What are you doing standing here foolishly? I’m standing over there, you didn’t see me?”
Because of Ji Heyuan’s actions, the gazes of the people around her finally became more direct, no longer peeking with the corner of their eyes, but staring at them openly.
Jiang Jiang clenched the straps of her backpack, “I’m sorry, Xiao Yuan, I’m a little nervous.”
Ji Heyuan clicked her tongue, and grabbed Jiang Jiang’s wrist, “Come with me.”
Jiang Jiang was carrying the rabbit backpack that Ji Xu’an had bought for her. The snow-white rabbit’s head had two big ears, swaying behind her as Jiang Jiang walked.
Ji Heyuan looked back at this scene, and the corners of her mouth couldn’t help but twitch. What kind of evil taste did my sister have, she just liked to dress Xie Jiang Jiang cutely.
Fortunately, Xie Jiang Jiang had a tender face, and this outfit wasn’t awkward on her at all.
Ji Heyuan was a social butterfly, and unlike Jiang Jiang, who didn’t know anything, she had already joined the freshman group of S University a week ago, and had made a lot of friends in it.
Among these friends, there were seven or eight from the photography major alone, and the three with whom Ji Heyuan had the best relationship even formed a small group.
Seeing Ji Heyuan bring back a new face at this time, the other three looked at Jiang Jiang curiously, “Ji Heyuan, is this also your friend?”
“She’s so pretty! Her skin is so good!”
Young girls always praise people directly and enthusiastically, without concealing their envy at all. Red clouds floated on Jiang Jiang’s cheeks, and she cast a look of help at Ji Heyuan.
Ji Heyuan pushed her back, “What are you shy about? We’re not going to eat you.”
However, although she was unforgiving in her words, Ji Heyuan still helped her out, “Her name is Xie Xiao, you can also call her Xie Jiang Jiang. Um… she’s a child of my family’s relatives, so she’s… my younger sister.”
When she said the last sentence, Ji Heyuan’s voice was particularly soft, but even so, Jiang Jiang still heard her introduction clearly.
“Younger sister?” She looked surprised, “Xiao Yuan, I’m clearly…”
“Okay, okay!” Ji Heyuan interrupted her loudly, fearing that if she was any slower, she would hear Jiang Jiang say the word “sister-in-law”.
“I’m a few days older than you, right?”
Jiang Jiang honestly nodded, “Yes.”
Ji Heyuan breathed a sigh of relief, and her reasoning was justified and forceful, “Then what’s wrong with you calling me older sister?”
Jiang Jiang gave her a meaningful look, but didn’t expose her after all.
With Ji Heyuan’s help, Jiang Jiang quickly became familiar with the other three. The round-faced girl was called Fu Xihe, and the other two were called Xu Zhen and Yan Ke.
The three of them were all very enthusiastic personalities. At first, seeing that Jiang Jiang didn’t talk much, they thought that she didn’t like to communicate with people, but later they realized that Jiang Jiang was just simply shy.
Because Jiang Jiang looked very well-behaved and blushed easily, and coupled with the sentence “younger sister” that Ji Heyuan said when introducing her, the few people didn’t guard against Jiang Jiang at all, and Jiang Jiang inadvertently got information out of them.
Through a brief conversation, Jiang Jiang roughly understood the family backgrounds of the few people.
Xu Zhen and Yan Ke looked like children from simple families who were also very loved at home. The reliance and intimacy with their families were clear at a glance in their words.
But Fu Xihe seemed to have some unspeakable secrets. When everyone mentioned their families, her expression had a moment of unnaturalness and dimness.
Jiang Jiang didn’t ask any more questions, and quickly skipped this topic.
…
After everyone had arrived, everyone went to the small auditorium under the guidance of the teacher.
Jiang Jiang also saw a familiar figure in the crowd.
Wen Xueyun was standing at the entrance of the auditorium, talking to another teacher in a low voice. Seeing Jiang Jiang and Ji Heyuan coming side by side, her gaze seemed a little complicated, but she quickly suppressed it.
“Xiao Yuan, Jiang Jiang.” Wen Xueyun took the initiative to greet them, “First day of school, are you nervous?”
Ji Heyuan smiled, “I’m definitely not nervous, but some people may not be like me.”
Jiang Jiang didn’t lower her head, but her long eyelashes were half-lowered, intentionally or unintentionally avoiding Wen Xueyun’s gaze.
Wen Xueyun smiled, “Jiang Jiang is a little introverted and slow to warm up, but don’t be afraid, everyone is very friendly, and you can ask the teacher if you have any questions.”
She paused, and said softly, “If you want, you can come to me too.”
Only then did Jiang Jiang raise her eyes and smile at Wen Xueyun, “Thank you, Teacher Wen, I know.”
Ji Heyuan tugged at Jiang Jiang’s sleeve, “Let’s go.”
She waved at Wen Xueyun, “Sister Xueyun, we’ll go sit down first.”
“Okay, go ahead.” Wen Xueyun smiled and watched them leave.
A teacher she was close to asked her, “Is that the younger sister of your crush?”
Wen Xueyun tightened her fingers, slowly clenching them into a fist, “Yes.”
“Why are there two? Who is the other one?”
Wen Xueyun was silent, and after a long while, she replied softly, “She’s also her younger sister.”
It’s just that the meaning of the two younger sisters was completely different.
…
All the processes of the meeting were new to Jiang Jiang. Ji Heyuan next to her would also occasionally wander off and look at her phone, but Jiang Jiang sat upright from beginning to end, and her eyes never left the stage at the front.
Ji Heyuan ridiculed her for having the posture of an elementary school student, but Jiang Jiang wasn’t annoyed, and still listened very carefully. Even when Wen Xueyun came on stage, she didn’t shift her gaze.
Looking at such attentive Jiang Jiang, Ji Heyuan suddenly felt that it was quite interesting. She secretly took a side profile photo of Jiang Jiang and sent it to Ji Xu’an.
[Ji Heyuan: Look! Elementary school student Xie Jiang Jiang.]
A moment later, Ji Xu’an replied to her.
[Ji Xu’an: Listen to the teacher carefully.]
Ji Heyuan curled her lips. In the past, she would definitely think that her sister was really boring, but today, she didn’t know if she was infected by Jiang Jiang’s attitude, Ji Heyuan also put away her little thoughts and began to listen carefully to the teacher on the stage.
It’s just that while listening to the lecture, Ji Heyuan couldn’t help but sigh in her heart, Xie Jiang Jiang and her sister really deserved to be a match made in heaven!
The atmosphere at the scene wasn’t serious. After each teacher finished speaking, they would give the students under the stage a chance to ask questions.
When it came to Wen Xueyun, probably because she was too young and beautiful, the students couldn’t help but ask a very classic question.
“Teacher Wen, do you have a boyfriend?”
Wen Xueyun’s expression stiffened slightly, and her gaze subconsciously searched for Jiang Jiang’s figure in the crowd. At the moment when their eyes met, Wen Xueyun tugged at the corners of her lips, “Not yet.”
The students cheered even louder, “Teacher Wen, then do you have someone you like?”
Wen Xueyun didn’t answer this question directly, “This is a personal matter, so I won’t take up today’s time. Everyone should ask something related to the major.”
She was unwilling to answer, and although everyone wanted to gossip, they didn’t keep pestering her, but Jiang Jiang still heard Fu Xihe, who was sitting next to Ji Heyuan, say in a low voice, “Teacher Wen shouldn’t lack suitors, right?”
“She doesn’t have a boyfriend, probably just because she hasn’t met someone she particularly likes.”
She probably sincerely felt that someone as excellent as Wen Xueyun shouldn’t be rejected.
Jiang Jiang’s mood was very calm. She could sense the gaze that Wen Xueyun had.
With a mix of awkwardness and unease in her eyes, Jiang Jiang didn’t have any particular thoughts.
As Jiang Jiang was thinking, she suddenly felt a strong gaze fall on her. She turned her head and saw Ji Heyuan looking at her with a strange expression.
“What’s wrong?” Jiang Jiang asked her.
Ji Heyuan hesitated, and seeing Jiang Jiang looking clueless, she couldn’t help but whisper in Jiang Jiang’s ear, “Don’t you really know that Sister Xueyun likes my sister?”
Jiang Jiang’s gaze paused slightly. So Ji Heyuan wasn’t that slow after all.
She feigned surprise, “Really?”
Ji Heyuan almost poked her forehead with her finger, “Isn’t it obvious enough? When she’s with my sister, her eyes never leave my sister.”
So when she mentioned the person Wen Xueyun liked just now, Ji Heyuan felt embarrassed for Jiang Jiang.
“Why are you so angry?” Jiang Jiang asked back, “Didn’t you say before that Teacher Wen and Sister are a good match?”
Ji Heyuan’s eyes suddenly became erratic, “You must have misremembered. When did I say that?”
She was just trying to annoy Jiang Jiang at that time. Could she take the words she said casually seriously?
Jiang Jiang didn’t refute her, but asked softly, “Since you think they’re a good match, why don’t you bring them together?”
Ji Heyuan subconsciously replied, “My sister doesn’t like her!”
Jiang Jiang “oh-ed” meaningfully. So in Ji Heyuan’s opinion, Ji Xu’an actually liked me?
Otherwise, how could Ji Heyuan have accepted me so quickly?
Jiang Jiang couldn’t help but think that she was good at acting, but Ji Xu’an’s acting skills weren’t bad either. Ji Heyuan, as her own sister, was also deceived by her.
When the meeting was about to end, the teacher in charge asked everyone to join the general group for the photography major.
Jiang Jiang had only used WeChat recently, and was still very unfamiliar with QQ, so her eyes always glanced towards Ji Heyuan.
After a few times, Ji Heyuan noticed, “What are you looking at?”
Ji Heyuan guarded her phone vigilantly, “Don’t try to peek at my secrets!”
Jiang Jiang’s mouth twitched, “I don’t really know how to use this thing, I wanted to see how you did it.”
Ji Heyuan’s eyes widened, “You haven’t used QQ before?”
Jiang Jiang shook her head honestly, “No.”
Ji Heyuan didn’t believe it, “Then what chatting software did you use before?”
Jiang Jiang thought for a while, “WeChat?”
Ji Heyuan looked at her silently for a long time, “You really are an old fashioned person. Young people like us all use QQ!”
Jiang Jiang didn’t object to the evaluation of being old fashioned. After all, to some extent, what Ji Heyuan said was true.
“Can you teach me?” she asked humbly.
Ji Heyuan took her phone and helped her scan the code to join the group, while muttering in a low voice, “I don’t believe it, then when you didn’t have WeChat before, didn’t you chat at all?”
Jiang Jiang: “I didn’t have a phone before.”
Suddenly, Ji Heyuan felt a hand clenching her throat, and the work in her hands stilled.
Jiang Jiang looked at her in confusion, “Xiao Yuan?”
Ji Heyuan wiped her face, and said in a deep voice, “Okay, I know, don’t talk to me.”
I am really damned!
Jiang Jiang was telling the truth, but she thought that Ji Heyuan was probably feeling sorry for her again.
After joining the group, Ji Heyuan also changed her group nickname for her, and then returned the phone to Jiang Jiang.
She secretly clicked on Jiang Jiang’s profile while Jiang Jiang wasn’t paying attention, and this QQ account was really registered just a few days ago.
It was probably… when Xie Jiang Jiang came to her house.
Ji Heyuan wanted to say something, but she didn’t know who to say it to, so she could only bother Ji Xu’an in the end.
[Ji Heyuan: Sister! Xie Jiang Jiang life was really too difficult, alas, she didn’t even have a phone before!]
[Ji Heyuan: I should be nicer to her in the future.]
[Ji Heyuan: Bah! That’s not right! It’s you who should be nicer to her!]
This time Ji Xu’an was probably busy, and only replied to Ji Heyuan after a dozen minutes.
[Ji Xu’an: If you have nothing to do, read more books.]
Ji Heyuan: …
Damn! How can someone like this have a wife!
It’s really unreasonable!
Ji Heyuan secretly scanned Jiang Jiang’s profile with the corner of her eye, thinking that it was thanks to the match made by God. If it weren’t for the arranged marriage, her sister would probably be lonely for the rest of her life.
After the meeting ended, Jiang Jiang didn’t leave the school, because there was also a club recruitment in the afternoon.
She ate in the cafeteria for lunch. Jiang Jiang took her meal card to queue up for food. Ji Heyuan didn’t want to eat this, so she went to queue up on the other side. Jiang Jiang stood with Fu Xihe.
Looking at her fair and tender face, Fu Xihe couldn’t help but be curious, “Jiang Jiang, are you in a relationship?”
Jiang Jiang blinked. Was this the usual way for everyone to start a conversation?
In Jiang Jiang’s previous understanding, this sentence was the same as “Are you married?”, which could only be asked by elders. If peers asked, it mostly meant expressing their feelings.
But apparently, for people in this world, this question was as ordinary as “Have you eaten?”, just a casual question without any deep meaning.
When Fu Xihe asked this question, she didn’t actually expect to get an affirmative answer, because she felt that a well-behaved girl like Jiang Jiang would mostly focus on studying while in school.
She probably wouldn’t be in a relationship so early, right?
Just as this thought flashed through Fu Xihe’s mind, she saw Jiang Jiang nod, “Yes, I do.”
Fu Xihe: “Ah?”
Fu Xihe looked at her blankly, “You, you’re in a relationship so early?”
Jiang Jiang pondered this word in her heart. She was already eighteen years old, so it probably wasn’t that early, right?
“It’s a fiancée arranged for me by my grandmother.”
Fu Xihe’s expression became even more dazed, “A business marriage?”
She could tell that the clothes and accessories Jiang Jiang wore were not cheap, and Jiang Jiang’s overall temperament was also very much in line with a child raised in a wealthy family.
Jiang Jiang shook her head, “No, her family is very rich, but I can’t give her any help.”
Fu Xihe instantly thought of many things, “Is your fiancée older than you?”
Actually, what Fu Xihe wanted to say was much older, but she didn’t say it explicitly.
“Yes,” Jiang Jiang nodded.
Ji Xu’an was indeed eight years older than her.
Looking at Jiang Jiang’s calm face, Fu Xihe somehow felt that she saw a hint of bravado and sadness in those clear black and white almond eyes.
She wanted to ask Jiang Jiang, if she was doing this willingly?
But she also felt that asking such a question was purely rubbing salt into Jiang Jiang’s wounds. She had already said that it was arranged by her grandmother, so even if Jiang Jiang was unwilling, what could she do?
Fu Xihe didn’t continue to ask, but her gaze towards Jiang Jiang became even more sympathetic.
Jiang Jiang realized the Fu Xihe had misunderstood, but she didn’t explain, and allowed Fu Xihe to continue to misunderstand.
The five of them also sat together while eating. Ji Heyuan found that Jiang Jiang was really not picky about food. She thought that the cafeteria food was mediocre, but Jiang Jiang seemed to be eating very deliciously.
Probably seeing that she looked too thin, the auntie serving the food didn’t skimp, and gave Jiang Jiang two large scoops. After finishing the meal, Jiang Jiang felt a little uncomfortable from being too full.
“Are you an idiot? If you can’t eat it, then don’t eat it.”
Ji Heyuan really didn’t know what to say.
Jiang Jiang pursed her lips, “I can’t waste food.”
Ji Heyuan: …
Okay, okay, I should just keep my mouth shut!!
It was like playing Minesweeper, and she was hitting them accurately one after another.
Ji Heyuan wanted to harass Ji Xu’an again.
After eating, they had to put away their trays. As they were about to walk to the front of the trash can, Jiang Jiang’s shoulder was suddenly bumped into by someone accidentally.
“I’m sorry, I’m sorry, are you okay?”
It was a very tall boy.
Jiang Jiang took a step back, “I’m fine.”
The other party’s gaze at her had obvious amazement. Even though Jiang Jiang said she was fine, he refused to leave.
“I’m sorry, classmate, I really didn’t do it on purpose, that…”
Jiang Jiang frowned slightly. She turned her head to look for Ji Heyuan and the others, but her gaze inadvertently met another person’s gaze.
Jiang Jiang narrowed her eyes suddenly.
She quickly retracted her gaze, avoided the tissue that the boy handed over, and said faintly, “No need to apologize.”
After saying that, she put down the tray and turned to leave.
There were a lot of people, and Ji Heyuan was squeezed to the back. By the time she finished putting away her tray, she found that Jiang Jiang had already walked to the entrance of the cafeteria.
“Xie Jiang Jiang!” Ji Heyuan quickened her pace, “Why are you walking so fast?”
Jiang Jiang didn’t answer. She glanced sideways into the cafeteria, and that glance actually gave Ji Heyuan a feeling of chills down her spine.
Why did she feel that Xie Jiang Jiang’s eyes were scary, as if she had seen an enemy?
Ji Heyuan was stunned, and only came back to her senses after a long while.
Wait, so the reason why I always felt chills down my spine during that period of time was probably because Xie Jiang Jiang was looking at me with that kind of gaze behind my back?!
“Xie Jiang Jiang, what are you looking at?” Ji Heyuan rubbed her arms suspiciously.
“Nothing,” Jiang Jiang said in a flat tone.
She had just seen an “old classmate.”
In the cafeteria, a boy with black-rimmed glasses and an honest and kind appearance was staring straight at Jiang Jiang’s back.
Xie Jiang Jiang?
Did she change her name?
He wouldn’t forget that face. Wasn’t that Xie Xiao?
A nobody orphan whose grandmother had died, was now wearing brand-name goods, and her temperament had changed drastically. If it weren’t for the fact that her face hadn’t changed, he would have thought that he had recognized the wrong person.
Xie Xiao, she had made it big…
“Liang Junsheng, what are you looking at?”
Someone came forward and patted his shoulder. The person followed his gaze, but there were people coming and going outside, and there was nothing to see.
Liang Junsheng pushed up his glasses and smiled gently, “It’s nothing, I saw a cat.”
“A cat? Where is it?”
Liang Junsheng sighed, “It’s gone.”
“You’re hallucinating, right? There’s no cat here, how come I didn’t see it?”
Besides, if there really was a cat, how come he didn’t see anyone else reacting?
Liang Junsheng said firmly, “There was.”
It was a stray cat that was lucky enough to be adopted, but even if it put on beautiful new clothes, it couldn’t change the fact that it had once been a stray.
Liang Junsheng didn’t mind helping her remember.
…
Ji Heyuan could clearly feel that Jiang Jiang’s mood had worsened.
She didn’t say what was wrong when she asked her, but the coldness that occasionally flowed out of her eyes made Ji Heyuan feel frightened.
After hesitating again and again, Ji Heyuan still sent a message to her sister.
[Ji Heyuan: Xie Jiang Jiang seems a little off, I feel like she’s very unhappy.]
This time Ji Xu’an finally didn’t perfunctorily deal with her.
[Ji Xu’an: What’s going on?]
Ji Heyuan also wanted to tell her why, but the key was that she didn’t know!
[Ji Heyuan: I don’t know, we just ate a meal in the cafeteria, Xie Jiang Jiang seemed to see something, and suddenly became unhappy, and she wouldn’t say when I asked her.]
After a while, Ji Xu’an replied to her.
[Ji Xu’an: I understand.]
Okay then.
Ji Heyuan had gotten used to her sister’s indifference.
Ji Xu’an said she understand, which meant that she would handle this matter.
With my sister’s care and comfort, Xie Jiang Jiang should be able to be a little happier, right?
Jiang Jiang didn’t notice Ji Heyuan’s little actions. Even if she saw them, she wouldn’t have any reaction.
Jiang Jiang was still thinking about the person she had seen just now.
This person was also a very important character in the story. If Zheng Zhouzhou was the mastermind behind forcing “Xie Xiao” to death, then this person was the accomplice.
His name was Liang Junsheng, and he was “Xie Xiao’s” junior high school classmate.
Liang Junsheng looked decent on the surface, but was actually a psychopath. Because he was subjected to domestic violence by his father since he was a child, Liang Junsheng’s personality was cold and devoid of sympathy.
After growing up, he changed from a victim to a perpetrator.
Liang Junsheng liked to destroy some clean and beautiful things, which would give him a feeling of controlling everything.
At first, he only abused small animals, but later, Liang Junsheng slowly turned his attention to people, but he had never found a suitable target – until he met Xie Xiao again at S University.
The completely changed Xie Xiao after coming to the Ji family made Liang Junsheng feel jealous and also aroused a desire to destroy.
Why was it that they were both pitiful, but Xie Xiao could get help from rich people and become someone he could only look up to?
But what about him? He still had to carefully hide his past and work hard for a few small coins?
Liang Junsheng wanted to get money from Xie Xiao, and at the same time, he wanted to trample Xie Xiao under his feet to satisfy his perverted thoughts.
There were many ways to destroy a person.
Liang Junsheng chose the fastest and most disgusting one. He tied Xie Xiao to his rented house and took many nude photos of Xie Xiao.
In those photos that were deliberately taken at certain angles, Xie Xiao’s eyes were blurred, and there was no trace of being forced at all.
Liang Junsheng wasn’t satisfied with just taking nude photos. Fearing that Xie Xiao wouldn’t listen to him, he even injected Xie Xiao with drugs to threaten her.
Xie Xiao was already living cautiously in the Ji family. Ji Xu’an’s coldness and neglect, and Ji Heyuan’s indifference, all made Xie Xiao afraid to tell them about this.
Even to the doting Old Lady Ji, Xie Xiao couldn’t say it.
She was afraid that Grandma Ji would really believe Liang Junsheng’s words. If that were the case, she would lose even the last person who cared about her.
No one knew Xie Xiao’s pain, but this wasn’t the most terrible thing.
Just like Jiang Jiang now, Xie Xiao didn’t have any pocket money. Under Liang Junsheng’s coercion, Xie Xiao braced herself and asked Ji Xu’an for money once. Ji Xu’an gave it to her, but her impatient attitude made Xie Xiao never dare to bother her again.
She couldn’t get any money, and only then did Liang Junsheng realize that Xie Xiao was just living in a rich family, but didn’t actually have a penny in her hand.
What to do if he couldn’t get money?
Liang Junsheng was also very straightforward. He sold the photos and videos he took to Zheng Zhouzhou. Not only that, but he also came out as an old classmate to testify when Zheng Zhouzhou arranged for people to expose Xie Xiao’s prostitution and drug use.
During the interview, Liang Junsheng wore a white shirt and black-rimmed glasses, and his honest and gentle face was full of surprise.
Xie Xiao? She lost her parents since she was a child and lived with her grandmother. I don’t know if her grandmother knows about this.
I really feel sorry for her. Even if she envies those girls from rich families, she can’t do this kind of thing.
Why do I feel sorry for her? Because we are all children from poor families, and it’s really not easy to get into S University. I don’t know why she chose to take this path. Isn’t it good to earn money cleanly with her own hands?
As soon as this interview video came out, Xie Xiao was even more scolded, but Liang Junsheng, on the other hand, became a little popular because of it, and was praised for being honest and down-to-earth, and a good man.
A good man?
Jiang Jiang sneered in her heart. She would let everyone see how good Liang Junsheng really was.
…
Because she saw something disgusting, Jiang Jiang only took a walk around the club recruitment in the afternoon.
There were many types of clubs at S University, but Jiang Jiang didn’t know much about most of them. She was also worried that she wouldn’t be able to integrate into the atmosphere of the club, and not only would she not be able to learn new things, but it would also bring her trouble.
So Jiang Jiang only roughly understood, and seeing that there wasn’t anything she was particularly interested in, she went straight back to the apartment.
It was still early when she got home. Although she was the only one at home, Jiang Jiang still habitually locked the door after returning to her room.
She didn’t plan to contact Xie Xiao today, but Xie Xiao took the initiative to call to her.
“Jiang Jiang!” Xie Xiao said with a beaming expression, “You’re really amazing!”
Jiang Jiang smiled lightly, and didn’t show any displeasure in front of Xie Xiao, “Did Princess Huaining came to you?”
“Princess Huaining probably thinks that I’m easy to control, and didn’t even wait for five days”.
They had only met yesterday, and today Princess Huaining came to her.
However, this also showed that what Jiang Jiang said was right. Princess Huaining had indeed sent someone to monitor her.
Jiang Jiang was secretly shocked. It seemed that Princess Huaining was more powerful than she thought. In less than a day, she had found out the truth.
Jiang Jiang suppressed the thoughts in her heart, “What did Princess Huaining say to you?”
“Just like you predicted. She really scared me. To be honest, I was really scared facing her cold face.”
She always felt that Princess Huaining was going to draw her sword and give her a quick death in the next second.
“But until the end, she didn’t hurt me at all.”
Xie Xiao felt that Jiang Jiang was really like a prophet, and had grasped Princess Huaining’s reaction very well.
“That’s good.” Jiang Jiang breathed a sigh of relief, “Then you can be bolder next, and go to her from time to time.”
Xie Xiao: “Yes, yes.”
She looked at Jiang Jiang with bright eyes, “Jiang Jiang, how is your progress?”
Jiang Jiang had a faint smile on her face, “Everything is going well, don’t worry.”
She didn’t plan to tell Xie Xiao that she was going to do something big.
Xie Xiao didn’t doubt it at all, “You also have to be careful, contact me at any time if there’s a situation.”
Jiang Jiang felt a warmth in her heart, and said softly,” I know, don’t worry.”
“That’s good…”
Before Xie Xiao could finish her words, there was suddenly a knock on the door outside the room, very lightly, and it stopped after only two knocks.
Immediately afterwards, Ji Xu’an’s cold voice came from outside the door.
“‘Are you in the room?'”
“Xie Jiang Jiang?”
Jiang Jiang’s expression was slightly stunned. How did Ji Xu’an start calling me Jiang Jiang too?
She looked at the time on her phone, 4:30 PM, it wasn’t time for Ji Xu’an to get off work yet.
What was she doing back at this time?!
