Chapter 85: You Are My First Love
“Don’t say sorry anymore. This is a family matter between me and Jiang Ning, it has nothing to do with you. Hurry back to the classroom.” Jiang Yan didn’t blame Su Wanyuan.
She was just being kind-hearted.
But in Su Wanyuan’s ears, it sounded like blame.
Su Wanyuan pursed her lips and finally smiled at Jiang Yan: “A Yan, I heard that on November 2nd, you can see a meteor at Phoenix Mountain Peak. Can you go with me?”
Phoenix Mountain is a scenic area in Jin Cheng with an elevation of 1,900 meters. You must take cold-proof measures when going up the mountain, otherwise it’s easy to die from hypothermia.
Jiang Yan thought for a moment and hesitated: “I’m not sure if I’ll have time that day. You can ask Lan Li to go with you.”
He didn’t like climbing mountains, let alone staying outside at night.
Jiang Yan had no mood at all right now to provide companionship to Su Wanyuan.
He still didn’t believe that Jiang Ning had no familial affection for him in her heart.
She had risked half her life to save him; Jiang Yan had to figure it out.
Su Wanyuan responded without any unusual reaction, just saying: “Okay.”
Time quickly reached the end of evening study session.
Jiang Ning packed her schoolbag and glanced sideways at Xie Jingyan: “Don’t forget what I said today. Tomorrow you must ride a bicycle to pick me up at the entrance of my villa for school.”
Xie Jingyan didn’t make a sound.
Jiang Ning furrowed her brows, hands on hips: “Do you have a bicycle?”
“No.”
“Go buy one! If I don’t see you tomorrow, you’re dead.” Jiang Ning snorted coldly.
Xie Jingyan’s expression was indifferent: “Got it.”
“That’s more like it.” After saying that, Jiang Ning grabbed her schoolbag and left.
One minute later.
Xie Jingyan’s mobile phone rang.
Ling Ling You Nan: [Baby, I’m done with my night run and preparing to return to the dormitory. Have you finished evening study session?]
Xie Jingyan: “…”
Yes, Jiang Ning, who used the pseudonym Ning Zhaozhao, had fooled him completely.
She claimed to be an extremely disciplined little girl who, after school every afternoon, would first go to the dance room to practice a dance, then after dinner go play the piano to cultivate her temperament.
Then night run until 9:30 PM.
During this time, she told him not to look for her.
Because she was living a disciplined life.
She even required him to call her every day to wake her up.
She even found a class schedule from somewhere online, and Xie Jingyan actually believed it.
He tapped open the chat box.
Chunfen: [Just got out. Baby, I want to see what Qingbei campus looks like.]
Jiang Ning, halfway there, stumbled, nearly dropping her mobile phone.
She immediately searched with all-knowing Du Niang and casually found a picture of an elegant Qingbei night scene.
Ling Ling You Nan: [I’m here. When will you come meet me? I want to hold hands with you here~]
Xie Jingyan showed no expression, because he knew Jiang Ning was good at deceiving people.
If she really wanted to meet, would she have said on competitive mathematics day that she was going to her cousin’s house?
About an hour after he left the “Capital City,” she appeared saying she had gone to the hospital.
Completely avoiding the time, not keeping him in mind.
If it weren’t for the bus breaking down that day, after thinking left and right he still decided to go take a look, otherwise he wouldn’t know the person flirting with him online was right by his side.
Xie Jingyan opened the picture and found a watermark in the bottom right corner of the photograph.
He: “…”
Had it reached the point where even deceiving him was done so carelessly?
Chunfen: [Why does this picture of yours have a watermark?]
He wanted to see how Jiang Ning would make up an excuse for him.
Jiang Ning, who had reached the school entrance: “…”
She opened it, and sure enough, there was one!
You couldn’t notice it unless you looked closely.
For a moment, her heart was in panic.
It was over. Did the top grade think she was lying?
Jiang Ning felt a huge headache.
But she still thickened her skin and typed: [This watermark? I added it myself. I’m afraid someone will steal my picture.]
Xie Jingyan: “…”
The other side continued to send messages.
Ling Ling You Nan: [Besides dancing, drawing, playing the piano, and speaking eight languages, I have another hobby: photography. The photos I take, the whole school fights to get them!]
Jiang Ning directly shaped herself into the persona of a top-tier noble daughter.
After all, when out and about, identity comes with it.
Especially for this kind of online flirting.
Even if Jiang Ning photoshopped herself in front of a mansion and boasted about having over a billion in assets, people would believe it.
Xie Jingyan: “…”
His face expressionless: [Baby is so excellent, I feel even more inferior. I’m not presentable at all.]
Ling Ling You Nan: [I won’t allow you to talk about yourself like that. As long as we like each other, it’s enough. Baby, you are my first love.]
Xie Jingyan just chuckled.
First love, huh.
What about Gu Lanli then.
After Xie Jingyan entered Ninth Middle School, even without paying attention to Jiang Ning, he had heard the rumors about her.
It was said that on Gu Lanli’s seventeenth birthday, she booked all the red roses in Jin Cheng, and that day Jin Cheng was submerged in red petals.
Extremely romantic, extremely luxurious.
Who could imagine that the one who did this high-profile act was a girl who hadn’t turned seventeen yet.
Her liking was so flamboyant.
As if she wanted the whole world to know.
Jiang Ning was just a liar.
And her online name.
Ling Ling You Nan.
Wasn’t it just Ning Ning You Lan!
Xie Jingyan found it truly an eyesore.
She wouldn’t even change her online name and came to hook him.
Xie Jingyan simply didn’t bother replying.
He turned his steps and entered the big supermarket, happily getting a bicycle.
…
The luxury car slowly stopped at the villa entrance.
Jiang Ning instructed the driver that starting tomorrow, he didn’t need to come pick her up for school. Ha, tomorrow she’d add that he also had to take her home in the evening!
Wear him out, leave him no time to study.
Jiang Ning thought as she walked, feeling she was truly a genius.
As soon as she entered the door, she sensed the subtle atmosphere in the living room.
Madam Jiang sat to one side with a cold face.
Father Jiang’s expression was somewhat troubled.
Behind Father Jiang stood a woman dressed in black.
Seeing Jiang Ning return, Father Jiang breathed a sigh of relief and quickly pulled her over, whispering: “Your older sister is back!”
Jiang Ning turned to look. Jiang Li turned her head and smiled at Jiang Ning, but her smile was somewhat forced and at a loss.
Only then did Jiang Ning clearly see Jiang Li’s appearance—her face was seventy percent similar to hers. Placed together, anyone could see they were blood sisters.
Father Jiang continued: “Quickly help me persuade your mother. Your older sister was missing for eight years and finally found her way home. Don’t let her send the person away again. She is also your mother’s child.”
He sighed.
Jiang Ning knew a bit about Madam Jiang’s past. During that pregnancy period, her husband cheated, and her mother-in-law brainwashed her, causing her to suffer from prenatal depression.
After giving birth to the daughter, there was no joy, only disgust.
But none of this was Jiang Li’s fault, nor Jiang Yan’s.
Madam Jiang’s psychological illness was very serious.
Jiang Ning sighed inwardly and called out: “Mom…”
Madam Jiang spoke sharply: “Don’t persuade me to keep her. I don’t have such a shameless daughter!”
“I have Mingzhu’s face, all ruined by her. Jiang Li, don’t call me mother either. This isn’t your home. If you have any shame, get out and go back to the countryside to live with that old nun. I can’t tolerate you here!”
Jiang Li’s face instantly paled, her eyes full of pain.
