Chapter 20: Beating Him That Hard—has He Talked?
Jiang Yan’s gaze darkened. He wasn’t shielding her just because Jiang Ning was his family member as Su Wanyuan said. He was stating the facts.
Seeing Su Wanyuan’s eyes red, he suppressed the discomfort in his heart and explained, “It’s not what you think. She really didn’t plagiarize this time.”
“Alright, stop talking. Let me calm down.”
Su Wanyuan interrupted Jiang Yan’s words and left without waiting for his reaction.
Jiang Yan inexplicably recalled last night’s conversation with Jiang Ning.
Was Su Wanyuan really as good as he said?
He was startled and hurriedly shook the thought from his mind.
It was Su Wanyuan who accompanied him during his low point, encouraged him. How could he doubt her over something like this? She was just upset.
……
In the afternoon, the list of people selected for the training class came out.
A total of twenty.
They would represent Ninth Middle School in the competition, and how far they climbed would depend entirely on their own abilities.
So as a member of the math competition class, Jiang Ning had to stay an extra hour at school.
She had already planned to sit with Xie Jingyan later and harass him with questions, preventing him from listening seriously.
But Jiang Ning waited left and right and didn’t see Xie Jingyan come in. She asked and learned that Xie Jingyan, with his privilege as the top student in the school, had applied to the teacher for after-school training class without attending class.
Jiang Ning finally endured until six o’clock when class ended, but couldn’t find Xie Jingyan.
She didn’t know what he rushed off so quickly for every day after school.
Leaning on her crutch, the scent of grilled sausage wafted to her nose.
The stall was across the street.
She wasn’t in a hurry to go home now. She wanted to drink milk tea! Eat grilled sausage!
She instructed the driver to wait for her in place, and limped across the street.
She bit into the golden, oily grilled sausage, and Jiang Ning let out a satisfied sigh.
This cheap starch sausage hit the spot.
She bought five in one go and had the boss load them with chili powder.
Then she went to Mixue Ice Cream & Tea to buy a cup of lemon water.
Life was better than being a fairy.
Just as she was about to leave, her sharp ears caught noisy sounds from the alley behind the grilled sausage stall.
The grilled sausage stall boss seemed accustomed to it.
Gossip was human nature. She couldn’t resist joining in and followed inside.
One hand holding grilled sausage, one hand lemon water, crutch tucked under her armpit.
But she didn’t expect to run into an acquaintance here.
Chen Shuyan was actually there.
And her Huang Mao brother Chen Jianfei, kicking and stomping the youth in the corner, fists hitting flesh.
The ringleader was her cousin Sui Tang.
Jiang Ning walked closer with the grilled sausage in her mouth.
Sui Tang sneered, “An illegitimate son should stay in the sewer. How dare you come back to claim kinship.”
The only response was muffled grunts.
Jiang Ning couldn’t help but tsk twice. Sui Tang jumped at the sound, and seeing it was Jiang Ning, she was delighted: “Cousin.”
Jiang Ning said darkly, “Beating him so hard—has he confessed?”
Sui Tang was a bit confused: “Confessed what?”
“Then what crime did he commit?”
Sui Tang shook her head: “He didn’t commit a crime.”
Jiang Ning was speechless: “Then why beat him like this.”
Look at those injuries—how many days would it take to heal?
Sui Tang didn’t care: “Who asked him to come out and rob Yuchu bro’s family property. Just an illegitimate son—what qualification does he have to stand shoulder to shoulder with Yuchu bro.”
Jiang Ning finally saw the youth’s face in the corner clearly.
Handsome but fierce, violent, eyes like poisoned daggers—a ruthless character.
He spat a bloody glob on the ground and grinned at Sui Tang: “If you have the guts to kill me today, otherwise, if I, He Shang, don’t get you later, I’ll write my name backwards.”
“Still so arrogant! Keep beating him.” Sui Tang was furious, eyebrows inverted, wishing she could kill He Shang on the spot.
Hearing the name He Shang.
Cold sweat slid down Jiang Ning’s temple.
Damn!
Wasn’t this the big shot who would dominate the Capital Circle with Xie Jingyan in the future!
“Wait!” Jiang Ning hurriedly spoke up.
She couldn’t let Sui Tang keep courting death.
Chen Jianfei stopped and didn’t quite understand: “Sister Ning, this kid deserves a beating. He’s just like that beast Xie Jingyan. If we don’t teach him a lesson, he’ll ride over your heads later. I’m best at dealing with these rebels.”
Jiang Ning glared at him: “Get to the side.”
Just a thug who liked fighting and brawling, never doing proper work, always coming to her for money.
Chen Jianfei, who was yelled at, had a moment of grim expression, then obsequiously retreated to the side, but his eyes stared viciously at Chen Shuyan.
Chen Shuyan couldn’t help shivering, her face paling with fear, head down, not daring to look at her brother.
“Cousin?” Sui Tang didn’t understand why Jiang Ning stopped her.
Jiang Ning asked: “Did Zhou Yuchu tell you to do this?”
Sui Tang shook her head: “No, I did it myself. Yuchu bro is kind-hearted and wouldn’t do this. How could I let this pest block Yuchu bro.”
Jiang Ning was truly convinced.
These two really were family—same level of love brain.
But in the book, Sui Tang was actually a very innocent person.
She hated everything Jiang Ning hated and was good to everything Jiang Ning liked.
If we say the turning point of destiny was because of this He Shang.
Plus Zhou Yuchu fanning the flames behind.
In the future, after Jiang Family went bankrupt and Jiang Ning died, the second one targeted by the big shots was Sui Tang.
Married a domestic abuser and beaten to death with two corpses.
This was too tragic.
“Tangtang, did you ask Zhou Yuchu before doing this?”
Sui Tang bit her lip: “No.”
“Then aren’t you afraid that the kind-hearted him will think you’re a very vicious person if he finds out? After all, Zhou Yuchu is so kind. Since he accepted He Shang back, that means he accepts him. Don’t destroy their brotherly bond.”
Jiang Ning guided patiently. She couldn’t directly tell Sui Tang that Zhou Yuchu was a dead scumbag like Gu Lanli, who liked baiting people to do things for them but secretly protected Su Wanyuan like the apple of his eye.
These secrets had to be discovered by Sui Tang herself.
Sui Tang thought about it—Jiang Ning really made sense.
Wasn’t this just making her beloved Yuchu bro hate her?
Wealthy families having illegitimate sons was perfectly normal.
Since He Shang could appear at Zhou Family, that meant the Zhou Family had all accepted him.
If she really destroyed others’ brotherly harmony, wouldn’t she become the sinner?
What if Zhou Yuchu ended up hating her?
Sui Tang panicked at the thought, hurriedly went forward to pull He Shang up, anxiously patting the dust off him: “Sorry! I didn’t know you and Yuchu bro were close. Please don’t tell him I beat you, I beg you.”
Because He Shang was very tall.
Sui Tang could only look up at him, hands clasped pitifully, her bright big eyes teary: “Please, please. I’ll be good to you from now on, no more bullying.”
He Shang: “?”
Where did this sweet and naive girl come from.
He sneered: “Be good to me? You need to take actual action. I’ll decide whether to forgive you based on my mood.”
Sui Tang: “…”
She really dared to push her luck.
But she was in the wrong after all, so she could only hang her head and reluctantly agree: “Fine.”
