Chapter 80: Second Guidance
“Mm.” He responded.
Jiang Ning was speechless: “What do you mean by ‘mm’?”
“Not recommending, so that your life can have more fun, I decided to stay and accompany you.” Xie Jingyan spun his pen with his fingertips, then pointed at the physics key points he had organized: “Write quickly, ask me if you don’t know.”
Jiang Ning: “……Hehe, speaking so righteously, I think you just can’t bear to part with the remaining 110,000.”
Xie Jingyan gave her a meaningful smile, then ignored her and focused on doing problems.
In the book plot, he also gave up recommendation and chose to take the Gaokao.
Just to win the Gaokao top scholar position with a bonus of 100,000.
Completely for himself, yet he made it sound so nice.
Jiang Ning speechlessly rolled her eyes at him.
She also began to write furiously.
Break time after the second period.
Someone shouted at the entrance: “Jiang Ning, someone is looking for you outside.”
Jiang Ning rubbed her eyes, stood up, and the chair scraped back a distance, making a harsh sound.
Xie Jingyan stopped writing and looked outside.
Jiang Ning had already gone out.
He looked for a few seconds before withdrawing his gaze.
As soon as Jiang Ning came out, she saw Chen Shuyan.
She had asked the school for half a month off to recover from injuries, and now that she was better, the first thing she did upon returning to school was to find Jiang Ning.
Jiang Ning looked at her severed pinky finger and raised her brow: “Looking for me for something? Chen Shuyan, I didn’t harm you, so don’t you dare transfer your hatred onto me.”
Chen Shuyan’s expression was awkward, her eyes dimming for a moment: “I never thought that…… I came just to tell you to be careful of my brother Chen Jianfei. He bears a grudge because of the last incident where you fired them.”
Hatred burst from her eyes: “It was my brother who sent me into Huo Chengxuan’s hands. He thought that demon Huo Chengxuan fancied me, so he tied me up to get benefits, not caring at all about the torment I would suffer in Huo Chengxuan’s hands.”
As Chen Shuyan lowered her head, she saw her severed pinky finger, pain flashing in her eyes. Everything she had suffered was all thanks to her own brother Chen Jianfei and that devil Huo Chengxuan.
“Ning Ning, I know who harmed me. I won’t transfer my hatred onto you. You don’t owe me anything. I’m very grateful that you went there that day and helped me preserve my life. Sorry…… I reported it to the police afterward, but when the police arrived, they didn’t find them, and even all the surveillance related to Huo Chengxuan was completely deleted.”
“That’s all I wanted to tell you. Be careful on your way to and from school. My brother seems to have hooked up with a powerful gang in Jin Cheng.”
After Chen Shuyan finished speaking, she walked away with her head down.
Chen Jianfei?
If Chen Shuyan hadn’t mentioned it, she would have almost forgotten these cannon fodders.
Jiang Ning didn’t take it too seriously.
No matter how gangster they are, they wouldn’t dare kidnap someone in broad daylight, right?
She prepared to return to the classroom.
She ran straight into Gu Lanli.
“Ning Ning.” He called out to Jiang Ning, taking three steps at once to reach her. He pursed his lips, hesitation on his arrogant face: “Were you angry this morning because I took Wan…… took Su Wanyuan to the infirmary? I can explain to you. Nothing happened between her and me.”
Jiang Ning was truly exhausted.
She suspected Gu Lanli had been deeply provoked by Su Wanyuan, so he came to her for comfort.
Was he really that heartbroken? Jiang Ning decided to make him even more heartbroken.
“If you really let go, you wouldn’t come here specifically to explain. There were so many students passing by at the time; anyone could have taken her, but you insisted on taking on the task. Gu Lanli, just like how you got heartbroken and died inside because Su Wanyuan cared about Xie Jingyan and it stimulated you, I’ve also given up on you because of your thing with Su Wanyuan. No matter how many opportunities I give you, it’s useless. Don’t come find me anymore; I’m annoyed dealing with you.”
Gu Lanli looked up at Jiang Ning in disbelief.
“You gave up on me? Why…… Jiang Ning.”
“You used to be annoyed that I clung to you, and now it’s as you wished, so why are you unhappy again? Don’t you think your greedy behavior hurts two girls? Because of your indecision, both sides get hurt. I’ll make the decision for you: treat Su Wanyuan well properly and don’t come find me anymore.” Jiang Ning said in one breath.
In the original book, Gu Lanli was hopelessly in love with Su Wanyuan. Even at the grand finale when the male and female leads were about to get married, he still wanted to interfere and steal the bride. Now, because Jiang Ning kicked this scumbag away first, he was left uneasy and anxious.
Gu Lanli was somewhat dazed.
His heart was in turmoil.
Who did he actually like?
He loved Su Wanyuan’s stubbornness, but when Jiang Ning distanced herself from him, he truly panicked inside. Those eyes that always held his figure no longer had his shadow. She wouldn’t cling to him like before, calling him Lan Li Gege. Yesterday, when he heard Jiang Ning say she liked him, his heart had been wildly joyful.
He had clearly decided never to contact Su Wanyuan again.
But when Su Wanyuan showed weakness in front of him, he still couldn’t completely abandon her.
Gu Lanli felt some pain in his heart, the scales in his heart gradually balancing.
Until he received Su Wanyuan’s telephone call.
The voice on the other end was delicate and choking: “A-Li, where are you? I feel so sad not seeing you. You don’t want me anymore either?”
The scales ultimately tipped toward Su Wanyuan.
This was the third year he liked her.
……
Infirmary
Su Wanyuan hung up the phone, her originally tearful expression immediately turning cold.
She felt sick; why did she have to seduce Gu Lanli to make him turn back to her? Gu Lanli had liked her for so long, and Su Wanyuan felt relieved after confirming that if she beckoned with her finger, he would still take the bait.
But after securing Gu Lanli’s heart to tilt toward her, what should she do next?
She looked into the void, trying to find something.
But the entire infirmary was eerily quiet; besides the sound of wind blowing fallen leaves outside the window, there was only her breathing.
Su Wanyuan felt a bit anxious inside.
If it was just being with Gu Lanli, Su Wanyuan was a million times unwilling. Her goal was only Xie Jingyan. She wanted his eyes to have her shadow again, to live in his heart. This had become her obsession. To achieve this goal, Su Wanyuan didn’t care what price she would pay.
She wanted to marry Xie Jingyan in the end and be with him for life.
Because of too much resentment, Su Wanyuan vaguely felt her arm heating up.
Coming back to her senses, under her surprised gaze, distorted black text floated on her arm again:
Early November, trick Jiang Yan onto the high mountain, death by hypothermia.
Su Wanyuan was dazed for a moment; was this the second guidance from heaven?
Death by hypothermia?
Make Jiang Yan die in early November?
Her heart trembled, and her whole body lightly shook. Did she have to kill, commit murder?
When she tried to look more closely, the text disappeared, as if it were just her hallucination.
She licked her dry lips, suddenly feeling fragmented memories surging in again, making her head dizzy and swollen.
Su Wanyuan lay on the bed and fell into a deep sleep.
……
The day’s classes ended quickly.
Jiang Ning left the school gate to buy grilled sausage, planning to go to the snack street to buy fried rice.
As soon as she turned the corner of the street, she was kidnapped by a group of people who came from nowhere.
