Chapter 40: Lifting A Rock Only To Drop It On Your Own Feet
Jiang Ning touched her nose somewhat guiltily.
She quickly soothed Sui Tang: “My skills are really bad. I’m afraid I’ll drag you down. Let’s do it next time. Besides, don’t you have someone to play with you?”
Sui Tang pouted discontentedly: “But I want you.”
“Definitely next time.” Jiang Ning brushed her off.
He Shang looked at Jiang Ning and Xie Jingyan suspiciously.
“Yesterday Sui Tang dragged her cousin who didn’t come, I dragged you who didn’t come. You two wouldn’t have teamed up together, right?!”
Jiang Ning: “…”
Xie Jingyan: “…”
The two exchanged a glance.
They both looked away and said in unison: “It’s not himr.”
Jiang Ning had a disdainful expression: “How could I possibly play games with him? I disdain it.”
Xie Jingyan’s tone was also cold: “I have no extra contact with her privately. Don’t overthink it.”
He Shang: “…”
Why didn’t he believe it?
How could there be such a coincidence.
“Don’t you two have a financial transaction? Unless you prove it.” He Shang’s gaze scanned between the two.
Jiang Ning widened her eyes and saw Sui Tang’s puzzled look. Afraid she would misunderstand it as some improper transaction, she hurriedly said: “Shut up! What’s wrong with me spending money to hire a servant?”
Xie Jingyan also didn’t want to be associated with Jiang Ning.
He asked: “How to prove it.”
He Shang: “Unless you send a message right now.”
Xie Jingyan actually took out his mobile phone and sent a message to his benefactor.
Just to prove that he really wasn’t playing games with Jiang Ning yesterday.
As soon as he sent the message, Jiang Ning’s mobile phone rang once.
The three people’s gazes locked on her simultaneously.
Jiang Ning: “…”
She swallowed, slowly took out her mobile phone, saw the pinned message, and frowned.
Sui Tang immediately leaned over to look.
Her expression instantly turned angry: “Is Gu Lanli sick?! You’ve already cut ties with him, so why does he still want you to bring him breakfast? Is his brain okay?!”
He Shang saw that Jiang Ning received a message from Gu Lanli.
He looked at Xie Jingyan somewhat puzzled.
Xie Jingyan put his mobile phone back in his pocket: “Do I still need to prove it? I wasn’t playing games with Jiang Ning yesterday.”
He Shang: “…”
He shut up.
When he looked up again, he saw Zhou Yuchu walking from behind Jiang Ning and the others.
He Shang’s expression turned serious in a second, vigilantly watching the newcomer.
However, Zhou Yuchu wasn’t looking for them, but for Sui Tang.
He smiled mildly: “Tangtang, can we be alone for a bit? I have something to tell you.”
Sui Tang first blushed, then hesitated and looked at Jiang Ning.
After all, her cousin had said she didn’t like people associated with Gu Lanli.
The reason Jiang Ning hadn’t told Sui Tang about Zhou Yuchu framing the Sui Family behind the scenes.
Was because she wanted Sui Tang to discover it herself.
What others say is far less real than personal experience.
Jiang Ning walked to Class 1 and went straight in.
Xie Jingyan followed closely behind.
He Shang withdrew his gaze and returned to Class 7.
Seeing that no one was around.
Sui Tang finally agreed softly: “Okay, where are we going?”
“Just follow me.”
…
Back in the classroom.
Xie Jingyan handed Jiang Ning the organized competitive mathematics problems.
“Do them.”
Jiang Ning: “…”
She raised her chin: “I won’t!”
Xie Jingyan’s gaze was calm, his voice flat: “I’ll check before lunch.”
Jiang Ning: “…”
Damn!
Didn’t they say no restrictions on her?!
She looked at the exercise book, feeling like she had lifted a stone only to drop it on her own foot.
She turned her head wanting to look at the scenery outside the window, but what entered her eyes was Xie Jingyan’s side profile: “I want to sit inside.”
Five seconds later, he stood up and moved his desk.
Jiang Ning happily moved her seat inside.
After switching seats.
Jiang Ning finally started seriously looking at the exercise book Xie Jingyan gave her.
High school math problems.
Although Jiang Ning had good grades before, university is completely different from high school.
She needed to consolidate a lot of knowledge again.
Her morning spirit was good, and she couldn’t sleep anyway, so she started doing problems in her free time.
The first period was Old Li’s math class.
Before class started, he talked about the autumn outing.
“This autumn outing location is set at Jiu Pei Farm. Everyone must pay ten yuan as funds for picking fruits and vegetables for the farm. Those who want to go must discuss with parents at home. Those who don’t want to go, fill in your name with the class monitor.”
“Same as last year, depart from school at ten in the morning. Everyone must walk, about one and a half hours to the foot of the mountain near the farm. We must climb up before noon. Please bring your own lunch. Free activities at the farm after descending in the afternoon, then groups of ten to prepare dinner before five, assemble by bus before six to return to school. Got it?”
The whole class: “Got it!”
Old Li nodded: “Also about the evening study session. Because some high school seniors were killed walking at night recently, though not from our school, the school cautiously suspended it for two weeks. But now is your key period, so the school decided to resume evening study sessions starting the day after tomorrow. Every student must notify parents for pick-up. Grade 1 and 2 temporarily cancel evening study sessions. Got it?”
“Got it.”
For Class 1.
Evening study sessions are very important.
You learn more at school with the teacher than at home.
You can ask about difficult parts immediately.
Saves a lot of time.
Jiang Ning turned her head and whispered: “Xie Jingyan, are you still going to work as a waiter in the evening?”
Xie Jingyan didn’t even look up: “What does it have to do with you?”
Jiang Ning choked: “How doesn’t it! I spent money on you. You must listen to me. I don’t allow you to waste extra time on that.”
“Young Lady, where’s the money?”
Damn, looks down on who.
Jiang Ning immediately pulled out a stack of cash from her bag.
Directly stuffed it into his desk drawer.
“Ten thousand, another ten thousand at the end of the month. Don’t think about WeChat transfer. You don’t qualify to add my contact yet.” Jiang Ning was especially arrogant.
Xie Jingyan had no particular reaction.
He took the money and stuffed it into his schoolbag.
Near lunchtime.
Jiang Ning went to find Xin Yang again.
“Give me the recording of Gu Lanli and Zhou Yuchu’s chat that day.”
Xin Yang panicked and stepped back: “I don’t know what you’re talking about.”
Jiang Ning sneered lightly: “Don’t pretend. I know you carry a voice recorder every day. Kids from rich families fear faking an accident to extort money or being scammed. It’s one of the essential tools. I know that voice recorder is on you.”
Xin Yang looked pale.
Jiang Ning continued: “You came with me voluntarily that day. Can’t you bear to watch them harm me?”
Because Father Jiang controlled it in time afterwards, public opinion didn’t develop.
The shares dumped by the Sui Family were bought by a mysterious buyer.
But after Jiang Ning’s reminder.
The Jiang Family and Sui Family quickly traced it to the Gu Family.
Neither family alerted them and were still gathering evidence.
And Jiang Ning must get rid of either Gu Lanli or Zhou Yuchu.
Xin Yang struggled a bit.
Both sides are friends.
