Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
In the morning, Jiang Man left the room with dark circles under her eyes.
When she saw Jiang Li wearing Yangming’s school uniform and eating breakfast at the dining table, she could not help but scream.
“Jiang Li, are you shameless? How dare you wear my clothes? Take it off quickly!”
Jiang Li could not be bothered with her and just picked up her schoolbag and left.
Jiang Man was stunned. “You, you even took the same bag as me. I don’t know where you picked it up from, but how shameless! You’re actually pretending to be Yangming’s student!”
Jiang Li ignored her and directly asked her father, “I want to transfer to the Science Grade 12 Cla.s.s 1.”
“You… Impossible, are you crazy? Your grades are only good enough for No. 15 high school! You want to go to Yangming High School? You want to be in my cla.s.s? Mom and Dad won’t spend a lot of money to transfer you to another school. That’s a waste of money!”
No. 15 High School was famous for being a bad technical school in Sea City. After Jiang Li was picked up, she went to school there for two whole years.
Jiang Man could not be bothered to pretend anymore at home. She screamed when she opened her mouth and spoke vulgarly. Her gentle personality was all gone.
It was good that way. Jiang Li liked to see her fierce expression.
“I was just informing you,” Jiang Li said lazily and turned around to leave.
“Mom!”Jiang Man screamed.
“What’s going on? Jiang Li want to go to Yangming too? I don’t want that. It would be so embarra.s.sing if people found out that I have a sister from the countryside.”
Mother Jiang and Father Jiang came out and looked at Jiang Li’s back in shock.
“It’s impossible. Yangming is so strict. With her previous results, it’s impossible for her to get into Yangming.” Father Jiang shook his head. Moreover, he did not spend a single cent on Jiang Li. How could she have the money to go to Yangming?
Mother Jiang quickly comforted Jiang Man when she heard that. “Good daughter, don’t cry. She’s just trying to anger you and scare you.”
“Really?”Only then did Jiang Man wipe away her tears. “Hmph, I’ll see how she gets into Yangming High School.”
Jiang Li went outside. Taxi after taxi sped past, but none of them were empty.
It was the morning rush hour, so she could not get a taxi.
At this moment, a Rolls-Royce Phantom silently stopped beside her.
She raised her eyebrows and clicked her tongue. Rich people.
Just as Jiang Li was looking at the Phantom, the back seat window was rolled down, and a familiar face appeared in her field of vision.
Fu Jiuxiao was looking at her. Under his long eyebrows, his grayish-blue eyes were filled with the cold aura of a higher-up.
Jiang Li felt like he was looking at an abandoned puppy on the road.
She greeted him lazily, “Ninth Master, what a coincidence.”
Fu Jiuxiao slightly nodded and said, “Yes, it’s a coincidence. It’s on the way, so get in the car.”
“Cough, cough…”
The driver in the driver’s seat started coughing violently.
‘What the h.e.l.l? Was their Ninth Master talking to a girl just now? !’
Jiang Li raised an eyebrow and looked at the driver, then understood. She looked at Fu Jiuxiao silently, as if she was trying to see through his intentions.
Fu Jiuxiao did not have any reaction. He moved his body to the side and looked at her indifferently. He did not say anything, but he did not leave either.
Was President Fu inviting her?
Jiang Li crossed her arms and looked at him for a while, but she could not tell his intentions.
Considering that she was going to walk if she did not take his car, Jiang Li lowered her head slightly and walked into the car with her slender legs. She closed her eyes and said, “Thank you.”
The car soon started again.
There was a lot of s.p.a.ce inside the Phantom, but ever since Jiang Li got into the car, the collision between her and Fu Jiuxiao’s aura made the car seem small, and one could even hear their breathing.
The driver could only tremble and drive fast and steadily.
At that moment, two light coughs were heard.
Jiang Li opened her eyes.
From his voice, it sounded like Fu Jiuxiao was trying his best to suppress it. Thus, ordinary people would not be able to tell anything, but she was a doctor.
She reached out her hand and touched his pulse like lightning. “The toxins have entered your lungs, so I’ll need to apply acupuncture to relieve it.”
Fu Jiuxiao’s slightly cold fingers were on her wrist and he was absent-minded for a moment.
“There’s no need,” Fu Jiaoxiao said stiffly.
Jiang Li laughed lightly. “Ninth Master is indeed Ninth Master. Just by feeling your pulse, I can tell that your heart should be in a lot of pain right now, right? But people can’t tell anything from your expression.”
Fu Jiuxiao looked back at her expressionlessly, neither admitting nor denying it.
Jiang Li did not care about his att.i.tude. She took out a cloth bag from her bag and opened it. Dozens of silver needles of different lengths were arranged neatly, s.h.i.+ning with a cold light.
She took out the longest one and reached out to unb.u.t.ton his s.h.i.+rt —
