Chapter 268: Settled
Only then did Jiang Li know that this wretched man was the manager of this century-old shop. She did not know which generation he was from, but just a few days after taking over the shop, he had already treated his gangster friends to a meal.
This cas.h.i.+er was this wretched man’s girlfriend.
However, after Ban Yue arrived, this wretched man liked to hara.s.s ban Yue for no reason. Ban Yue endured it in order to earn money from her work. This wretched man was even more outrageous. This time, he actually lured Ban Yue out with ulterior motives.
The cas.h.i.+er knew that her man was interested in Ban Yue, so she often deliberately made things difficult for Ban Yue. However, she did not dare to fire Ban Yue directly.
Jiang Li and Ban Yue were both defending themselves, so as long as someone came to bail them out, it would be fine.
However, this cas.h.i.+er refused no matter what. She said that her man’s life was in danger, so how could she let Jiang Li and the others off so easily. She kept causing a ruckus here, which made the police officers very annoyed, but there was nothing they could do.
Jiang Li and Ban Yue acted as if nothing had happened. They sat at the side and chatted while waiting for people to bail them out.
It was as if they were not the ones who had just used a knife to attack others. They were just ordinary and cute female students.
“So, are you hesitating whether to go to Jing University because you’re worried that you can’t afford the tuition fees?”
Ban Yue nodded. She looked a little down, but she hid it well.
Ban Yue had no parents and was an orphan to begin with. She had earned her tuition fees from junior high school.
It would cost more to go to college. In the past, the orphanage would help her out a little, but she was about to become an adult. According to the rules of the orphanage, when she became an adult, she would have to leave the orphanage and support herself.
The pressure of life was too great, and she still had to continue studying.
At the moment, Ban Yue did not even have a part-time job anymore, so she sighed helplessly. She looked like an old grandmother who had seen through life.
She directly made Jiang Li laugh.
“Don’t sigh. I can introduce you to a part-time job, and it will definitely be more than what you earn at the grocery store!”
Ban Yue did not say anything. She knew that Jiang Li definitely had many ways to earn money, but she did not want to trouble Jiang Li.
It was as if Jiang Li could read Ban Yue’s mind, so Jiang Li looked indifferent. “Just think of it as me doing one good deed a day. Besides, you already owe your life to me twice. It’s not that different at all.”
Ban Yue was speechless, but she could not find any words to refute. She could only nod helplessly and agree.
“The injury on your hand…”
Jiang Li raised her hand to look at the bruise on her arm. She did not really care about it. “It’s just a small injury.”
Jiang li had been in a fight with those people just now, and although she was injured, it was only a small injury.
The two of them chatted casually, and it was unusually harmonious in this quiet detention center.
Not long after, Fu Jiuxiao received a message from the police station to pick her up.
The moment Fu Jiuxiao saw Jiang Li, his worried heart finally relaxed.
This was also the first time Ban Yue saw Fu Jiuxiao face to face.
Suddenly, Ban Yue felt a powerful aura pressing down on her. The man in front of her had a grand aura and was cold, handsome, and n.o.ble. He did not seem like someone from the real world.
However, the moment this person saw Jiang Li, his entire aura became gentle, and he only had Jiang Li in his eyes.
Ban Yue had been sitting at the side for so long, yet this man did not even look at her.
What surprised Ban Yue even more was Jiang Li. The moment Jiang Li saw this man, her gaze instantly became gentle, and the smile on her lips could not be hidden. She looked very happy and joyful.
Ban Yue had never seen Jiang Li like this before.
Seeing the intimate actions of the two of them, Ban Yue could roughly guess the relations.h.i.+p between the two of them.
This man was probably the big boss behind the scenes who kept Jiang Li in the school, right?
He seemed to be very powerful, because when he came, even the chief of the police department came, and his att.i.tude was very respectful. The group of people did not go through any formalities and just swaggered out.
That mean girl who was just making fun of them was also very quiet. Her mouth was open so wide that it could fit an egg.
She must have been shocked by Fu Jiuxiao’s aura and appearance just now.
After getting someone to send Ban Yue back, Fu Jiuxiao took Jiang Li home.
However, Fu Jiuxiao’s expression was not as good as before. He frowned and applied medicine on Jiang Li’s wrist.
His movements were gentle, and he was afraid that he might accidentally hurt Jiang Li.
