Chapter 69: Without You, There’d Be No Miserable Future For Me
Jiang Ning waited for a while at the entrance of the pharmacy.
Xie Jingyan came out.
The injured spot on his face had already been applied with ointment.
Jiang Ning still didn’t believe it; it had been so long since the plot of this book started, yet the interaction between the female lead and male lead was still at zero.
She began to sigh: “Xie Jingyan, it’s not that I want to bother you. I just thought that you and Su Wanyuan are childhood sweethearts. What if she really ends up with Gu Lanli in the future?”
Xie Jingyan’s expression was indifferent: “Cold salad. Su Wanyuan invites me to attend a feast, Gu Lanli invites you to attend a feast. Would that work?”
Jiang Ning: “…”
“Can you grasp the key point of the matter? Who the hell wants to attend their feast!”
Xie Jingyan suddenly realized: “You’ve been beating around the bush for so long. What you mean is you want to attend my feast?”
Jiang Ning: “???”
She hesitated for a moment, then still asked: “With whom?”
Xie Jingyan sneered: “Of course it’s me and Su Wanyuan. You’ve been hinting at me front and back for so long, and now I finally get it.”
Jiang Ning: “!!!”
Right.
She coughed lightly: “So what are you thinking?”
“My idea is very simple. If Su Wanyuan marries Gu Lanli in the future, I’ll give a gift. If they don’t end up together, I’ll take over. If she accidentally gets pregnant, I’ll happily step up as dad. Once the child is born, the child will take my surname. If she doesn’t want to be with me, I’ll leave all the money to her and the child, and leave with nothing. Is that okay?”
“Whether I get married or divorced, I’ll bring you along. You’ll sit at a table by yourself. Without you, there won’t be my unlucky future.”
Jiang Ning: “…6.”
Too 6.
She was somewhat speechless.
“Why do you have to think so far ahead? I’m asking about the current matter. I didn’t ask you to give such a full answer!”
Xie Jingyan showed no expression: “My sense of crisis is quite advanced. This might be related to my family education.”
Jiang Ning choked, and it took her a good while to squeeze out: “People like you should be cursed on the spot!”
“Why? Because my answer is too perfect and makes you feel inferior?”
Xie Jingyan looked at Jiang Ning with a half-smile: “Last time you weren’t satisfied with my answer and only gave me eight point five. This time, I want to take back that one point of speechlessness from you. Can you give me ten out of ten this time?”
Jiang Ning took a deep breath, telling herself to stay calm. What big storms hadn’t she seen? How could she be defeated by just a few words?
She buried her head and entered the beef noodle restaurant.
“This time I’ll give you 11 points. I wish you a lifetime of being single.”
“You’re actually a nice person.”
Jiang Ning: “…”
Afraid of being angered to death, Jiang Ning immediately looked at the boss lady of the noodle shop: “A bowl of beef noodles with extra meat.”
The boss lady smiled and agreed. Seeing Xie Jingyan come in too, she quickly greeted: “Xiao Yan, still plain noodles?”
Xie Jingyan responded: “Yeah, trouble you for a bowl of plain noodles.”
The boss lady still remembered Jiang Ning. Outstanding-looking people leave a memory point wherever they are.
“Seeing you two come together again. Little girl, are you Xiao Yan’s good friend?”
Jiang Ning denied: “No, just ran into each other by accident and came to eat noodles together.”
“Alright.” The boss lady chattered on: “Xiao Yan is a good kid, just has few friends.”
Jiang Ning guiltily touched her nose.
The fact that Xie Jingyan has no friends is truly thanks to the original body.
Waiting for the beef noodles to be served.
Jiang Ning couldn’t be bothered to stay angry anymore. She quickly tasted the delicious food.
In heaven and earth, eating is the greatest.
There was originally an evening study session today, but because of this matter, they asked for leave from school and wouldn’t attend tonight.
Second time eating these noodles.
Jiang Ning squinted contentedly: “This shop is just a bit small, but the taste is really good. Not sure if it will still be here in ten years.”
Xie Jingyan didn’t even know what Jiang Ning was thinking about all day.
Now she started worrying about the shop’s future.
He curled his lip coldly: “Worrying about so much, why not first worry about whether you’ll still be around in ten years.”
Jiang Ning forced a smile and retorted: “Why should I worry about myself? I’m waiting to attend your feast. I want to sit at the main table!”
“Heh.” He let out a light huff and said no more.
This time Jiang Ning wouldn’t add meat for him.
He deserved to eat plain ones.
After finishing the beef noodles, Jiang Ning parted ways with him to avoid getting annoyed just by looking at him.
With this time, better to go back and chat with the top grade.
It was just that he had mentioned meeting up in person many times. Jiang Ning agreed verbally, but in her heart, she was already thinking of a good method to not offend anyone while avoiding the meeting that day.
When Jiang Ning returned to the Jiang Family.
She unexpectedly found Jiang Yan there too.
He sat on the sofa, his hair soaked with sweat, chest slightly heaving, as if he had run all the way to the villa.
Jiang Ning glanced at him, went to the water dispenser to get water, and casually asked: “Why are you back? Did Dad allow it?”
Father Jiang didn’t allow Jiang Yan to appear in this villa, afraid he would be hurt by Madam Jiang again.
He took a deep breath: “Jiang Ning…”
“Hm?” Jiang Ning put down the water cup with her right hand: “Do you have something?”
“I’m going to Zero Degree.” Jiang Yan continued.
“And then?”
“I checked the surveillance camera from that day. There was no sign of you, only Wanyuan. So, it was Wanyuan who saved me, right?”
He urgently wanted to seek an answer from Jiang Ning.
Jiang Ning looked at him amusedly: “What do you think?”
Jiang Yan pursed his lips, his face tense: “It was Wanyuan.”
“Mm, then that’s her. Oh, right, after eating those thousand candies, you have one month left. Fold the candy wrappers into a paper crane for me once done.”
Jiang Ning left.
Jiang Yan still couldn’t quite process it.
But the surveillance camera was deleted. He also asked the staff at Zero Degree, but everyone told him no one named Jiang Ning had appeared.
He clearly knew it was Su Wanyuan who took him to the hospital, but for some reason, his heart felt empty and very sad.
…
Jiang Ning had been busy preparing for the competitive mathematics exam during this time.
No extra time to pick fights with the male and female leads, and she rarely even saw Gu Lanli.
Without Huo Chengxuan bouncing around, Jiang Ning’s life seemed to return to calm.
On the contrary, Shen Jinhe kept coming to Ninth Middle School for no reason.
Su Wanyuan was still by her side.
Every time Jiang Ning saw them, she would take a detour, determined not to run into Shen Jinhe.
At noon this day, Jiang Ning went to the canteen to eat.
She ran into Xin Yang.
He waved at Jiang Ning, then came over to her side with his tray: “Ning Ning, Lan Li got into trouble.”
Jiang Ning was a bit surprised: “What trouble could he get into?”
Xin Yang was somewhat embarrassed: “A while ago, wasn’t your family at odds with the Gu Family? Uncle Gu asked Lan Li to apologize to you and seek your forgiveness. He didn’t do it, so Uncle Gu wants to kick Su Wanyuan out of the Gu Family.”
Jiang Ning blinked.
This plot was off by quite a bit, but at least it was on the right track.
She inquired: “And then?”
Xin Yang had a bitter face: “Then for some reason, Su Wanyuan caught Huo Chengxuan’s eye. The youngest young master of the Huo Family, spoiled to death by the whole family. Whatever he wants, the family gives it. Last time he went to the police station, his brother personally came to Jin Cheng to bail him out.”
