Chapter 42: My Life Matters Too
However, something even more dramatic happened that made Jiang Ning feel incredulous.
Five minutes later.
Gu Lanli swaggered in and then sat down next to Su Wanyuan.
That gaze fell on Jiang Ning once again.
Jiang Ning: “…”
Why was everyone looking at her? Did she have an LED light on her?
Was the threshold for this training class so low?
Even Gu Lanli, this good-for-nothing second generation rich, had come in.
For the entire class, Jiang Ning felt like she was sitting on pins and needles.
On the contrary, Xie Jingyan was completely unaffected.
He listened to the lecture very seriously.
Jiang Ning started to speak several times but stopped herself.
This female lead was chasing after her man all the way here.
Perhaps it was Jiang Ning’s fidgeting that finally caught Xie Jingyan’s attention.
He turned his head, and Jiang Ning was just about to say something.
Xie Jingyan pointed at the blank question on the test paper in front of Jiang Ning: “Hurry up and write it. This one is very simple. Don’t be lazy.”
Jiang Ning: “…”
No wonder it took the male lead and female lead eight years to get together in this book.
He himself had a lot of issues.
Jiang Ning: ‘Little Honey, what’s the situation now? I didn’t change this plot segment.’
Little Honey: […I don’t know either. Maybe it’s because the male lead hasn’t made a move yet, plus you’re close to the male lead, which made her feel a sense of crisis, so she chased after him… Host, try targeting the female lead a bit, let the male lead help her, and promote their relationship.]
Jiang Ning: “…”
She finally endured until the training class ended.
Jiang Ning blocked Su Wanyuan’s path.
Gu Lanli immediately stepped in front of Su Wanyuan, afraid that Jiang Ning would harm her.
He frowned and said, “What do you want to do?”
Jiang Ning crossed her arms and sneered, “I want to ask what you two want to do.”
“Su Wanyuan, can’t you afford to lose? You said the loser can’t participate in this math competition anymore. Are you breaking the rules by using Gu Lanli?”
Jiang Ning’s mockery made Su Wanyuan’s facial expression change from pale to red, extremely embarrassed.
She retorted, “How can I believe that someone who ranks at the bottom of the whole school suddenly has the ability to surpass me? You cheated.”
Jiang Ning was also exasperated.
How was this female lead’s mind so stubborn?
Even in that situation, she still thought she cheated.
She laughed angrily: “Do you have evidence? Just because you think I cheated doesn’t mean I did. So many people saw it at the time. Were they all blind?”
Su Wanyuan pursed her lips: “Maybe you have other methods? Your family has money. What cheating method can’t you think of?”
Jiang Ning calmed down.
‘Little Honey, I really want to slap her.’
Little Honey: […Host, hold back. The female lead has that straightforward character setting. If you hit her, the second male lead will seek revenge on you. It’s not time yet.]
Jiang Ning took a deep breath.
“With a brain like yours, you wouldn’t get a good ranking in this kind of competition either. Too stupid.”
It was the first time Su Wanyuan was called stupid by someone, and her face flushed red.
She was actually called stupid by someone stupider than her.
“I can get second in the whole school. What about you? You’re just a young lady who relies on her family’s money to act recklessly. Is it fun to trample on other people’s self-esteem with money?” Su Wanyuan glanced at Xie Jingyan, speaking up for him.
Gu Lanli chimed in: “Jiang Ning, no matter how hard you try, in my heart, you’re not even worth one finger of Wanyuan.”
Jiang Ning nodded repeatedly, unable to hold back as she flipped them off: “Right, right, right. I’m not as good, because my middle finger is straight and long. Can she do that?”
Gu Lanli said angrily, “Vulgar.”
“Say whatever you want.” Jiang Ning looked at Su Wanyuan: “No matter how many times you try again, your grades won’t surpass mine. Mark my words.”
“Also, I, Jiang Ning, am rich. I like trampling on other people’s self-esteem with money. He’s willing, so what business is it of yours?”
Jiang Ning threw her schoolbag into Xie Jingyan’s arms: “Let’s go!”
Xie Jingyan said nothing and obediently followed.
Su Wanyuan told herself in her heart that there would be plenty of time, not to rush.
Jiang Ning waited left and right but didn’t get the notification that progress had increased.
Huh?!
She abused her so much, did she become immune?
She looked puzzled at Xie Jingyan, who was silent.
She finally couldn’t hold back and said, “I know Su Wanyuan is your little childhood sweetheart. You’ve known each other since you were young.”
His facial expression was flat: “Did I steal your man? You investigated me so thoroughly.”
Jiang Ning: “…”
“I humiliated Su Wanyuan so much, and you had no reaction at all?”
Xie Jingyan finally showed some expression, smirking: “What reaction do you want from me? Should I snatch Su Wanyuan away, beat up your sweetheart, and then get targeted by Gu Lanli too? Spare me. My life matters too.”
Jiang Ning: “…”
Too cautious, completely impossible to approach!
“You can eat shit carelessly, but you can’t talk carelessly. Gu Lanli isn’t my sweetheart. To me, he’s no different from a random passerby. Also, didn’t you see how painful it is for Su Wanyuan to be by Gu Lanli’s side? Won’t you rescue her? Are you even a man?”
Xie Jingyan was expressionless, his tone as indifferent as ever: “You only see her pain. What about me? Am I happy by your side? Who’s going to rescue me? Jiang Ning, don’t morally kidnap me.”
Jiang Ning: “…”
Help!
Can’t chat anymore.
She snatched back her schoolbag.
“Don’t follow me.”
Xie Jingyan immediately walked in the opposite direction.
Without even looking back.
Jiang Ning: “…”
‘Little Honey, I can see it now. He’s destined to be alone.’
Little Honey: […]
Jiang Ning stormed off angrily.
This plot point was getting harder and harder to farm.
Maybe she didn’t hit Su Wanyuan’s abuse points.
Until Jiang Ning’s back view disappeared.
Gu Lanli came out from one side.
Looking closely, his eyes were somewhat dazed.
Didn’t Jiang Ning like him?
It had been many years.
He knew it all, but Jiang Ning was too clingy, making him feel no freedom.
On the contrary, it was Su Wanyuan.
The distance she kept with him was just right.
No matter how he expressed his feelings, she remained unmoved.
His greatest wish was for Su Wanyuan to agree to be his girlfriend.
As for Jiang Ning.
He originally thought that at most they would break off for a few days, and Jiang Ning would come back begging for forgiveness with her tail between her legs.
But reality was not like that.
Even the messages he sent to Jiang Ning went unanswered.
It had been a long time since she proactively sought him out.
Until he heard what Jiang Ning just said.
He was no longer her sweetheart; in her eyes, he was no different from a random passerby.
Gu Lanli should have been relieved.
But as soon as he thought of the past times with Jiang Ning.
His heart suddenly stung.
……
Jiang Ning came out of school and went to the company again.
Father Jiang was extremely busy these past two days because of the medical dispute incident.
Public opinion was finally under control, but the Sui Family’s reputation was gone.
Father Jiang also issued a statement, saying his daughter wouldn’t joke with people’s lives.
He attached videos of Jiang Ning’s whereabouts these past few days to prove that the group of black-clothed people guarding outside the hospital had nothing to do with the Jiang Family.
Netizens saw that Jiang Ning was just a seventeen-year-old girl.
To do such a thing required great power; it wasn’t something she could do just because she wanted to.
Thus, everyone’s attention shifted away from her.
Father Jiang timely revealed that this medical dispute incident was related to the Gu Family.
It was the Gu Family starting a business war at the cost of human lives.
