Chapter 11: So Stupid

Then, Lu Xuan sobered up a lot after being scolded by his father.

"You know how much the Xu family cherishes Xu Yueyao. They can't bear to scold her, and you dare to ask her to get out? Tomorrow you take gifts and go and coax her into good graces. The Jingzhou market has been turbulent recently, and some people want to grab the market. The Lu family needs the support of the Xu family, understand?"

Lu Xuan didn't care much about the marriage.

But now cooperation with Liheng is impossible, and we cannot break away from the Xu family.

"……good."

He was silent for a while before he responded and hung up. He sat on the sofa in silence for a long time without saying anything.

Xu Li glanced at him, and finally sneered.

"I have something else to do, so I have to leave first. As for your request for me to sue Jiang Yao for you, I'm sorry, I can't do anything about it."

Having said that, he turned and left.

It turns out that the noble young man who is so high and mighty is just like this.

…

Jiang Yao, who had a good night's sleep, looked even more radiant and charming.

Her rosy little face is like a peeled egg, emitting a kind of beauty of freedom and rebirth from the inside out.

Yunsheng’s affairs are temporarily finished, and she still wants to try going to school again.

Jiang Haozhe drove her there personally.

"Have a good chat with your instructor. Call me when you're done. I'll pick you up and take you to a new restaurant my friend opened to try something new."

"good."

Jiang Yao agreed, waved his hand and walked into the school gate.

This time, I finally found out that Shi Ruishan was in the office.

She hurried over, but there was only a door between them. She felt a sense of timidity and raised her hand several times but didn't knock on the door.

"Are you standing at the door like a pillar?"

Suddenly, a powerful voice startled Jiang Yao.

She immediately looked up and saw the camera with a flashing red dot above the door frame.

Why are you still pressing the camera outside the office?

She grinned awkwardly, then pushed the door open and walked in.

At first glance, I saw the little old man who was so familiar and kind to me. In an instant, tears almost came to my eyes.

"Teacher." Jiang Yao's voice suddenly became choked with sobs.

Shi Ruishan still stared at her with a sour face, his beard almost standing up.

"You still remember to come back."

The roar just now actually dispelled the tension that was churning in Jiang Yao's chest.

She quickly sniffed, walked forward and put down the things in her hand, but was interrupted by Shi Ruishan before she could explain.

"I don't accept gifts! Even if you give me one, it's useless. I can't possibly give you any backdoors. You haven't seen me for a few years, and you've already learned these tricks? Did your man teach you that? He's definitely not a good person!"

Whenever he thought of it in recent years, he would curse for a long time.

What a good seedling! She follows a man just like that. Is it important for a man to have dreams?

It's so stupid!

Jiang Yao listened obediently and agreed.

"He's really a piece of shit. I've already dumped him."

The old man glanced at her sideways, then pretended to be indifferent and stared at the cloth bag on the table.

"Tsk, I don't believe that. What is this?"

Jiang Yao knew his temper too well. He was the hardest-hearted person but a softie at heart. The harsher he scolded, the more he valued him in his heart.

"I made you a knee brace. I've made it every year for the past few years, but I just didn't have the nerve to give it to you."

The finest fur, carefully sewn by hand, looks very warm.

Shi Ruishan had a chronic cold leg problem. He had accidentally developed this condition when he was her student, so she would do it for him every year.

Every time, Shi Ruishan treated it like a treasure.

Until the year when the accident happened, she had actually already prepared it, but in the end, she didn't have the face to give it to him.

When Shi Ruishan heard this, his mouth was full of disgust, but the smile in his eyes was almost overflowing.

Unexpectedly, when the atmosphere was just right, a cold snort suddenly sounded from the corner.

Jiang Yao immediately turned around to look.

Only then did I realize that there was someone else in the office.

I saw a tall man half-leaning against a bookshelf, his posture lazy and dignified, flipping through an out-of-print professional book. His cold and deep facial features were coated with a god-like halo by the rustling sunlight, but his eyes were filled with indifference and coldness.

The person who can browse those precious books at will must be an important person to the old man.

Although she looked unfriendly, she quickly smiled and nodded.

"Hello."

Li Beiting closed the book and slowly walked out from the shadows with his long legs.

Without the surrounding light and shadow, the sharp aura around him suddenly came with a terrifying sense of oppression.

Jiang Yao subconsciously held his breath.

Who is this person?

Shi Ruishan, who had stuffed all the knee pads into the drawer, opened it at the right time.

"He is Li Beiting, you two should get to know each other."

Jiang Yao quickly found the name in his mind, his expression slightly excited.

A man three years older than her, who was once called a peerless genius by Shi Ruishan!

It's him!

His contribution to B2 alone was enough to earn her respect.

"Hello, senior."

She greeted immediately.

The corners of the man's cold lips finally curled up.

"Research relies on brains and responsibility, not sweet talk and flattery. Every tiny data error could kill countless people. If you're not prepared, don't come."

Although the words were unpleasant to hear, Jiang Yao agreed with them very much.

Space projects are very special. Even a screw can cause irreparable tragedy.

She bowed respectfully to the man and said, "Thank you for your teachings, Senior."

The man's pupils were slightly startled.

I scoffed at this in my heart.

They appear sincere and humble, but their souls, polluted by the materialistic world, can truly be so pure? Can they truly calm down and return to their original aspirations?

After following Lu Xuan for so many years, Jiang Yao's ability to read people's expressions has become perfect.

She could feel that the man didn't like her, or even disliked her.

She didn't want to make herself bored, so she ended the conversation and turned to look at Shi Ruishan.

"Teacher, I won't disturb you and the senior anymore. Regarding B13..."

Shi Ruishan raised his hand to stop him.

"That's not urgent."

As he spoke, he patted the thick stack of documents on the corner of the table.

"This is prepared for you. If you want to enter the institute, you must pass the assessment first. If you fail the assessment, I can't accept you."

Jiang Yao was delighted.

She didn't expect the teacher to agree immediately. Even if she was very successful in the past, she had been silent for many years.

The teacher said this, which is already giving her a chance!

Looking at those familiar professional words, her whole face was lighting up.

"Okay, I'll go back then."

She picked up the documents, said goodbye to the two of them, opened the door and left.

From beginning to end, there was no entanglement in asking for anything.

Li Beiting was a little surprised. Thinking of her expression when she just got the information, he couldn't help but say, "I want to participate in the assessment and supervision."

Shi Ruishan was happily fiddling with the knee pads in the drawer, and he burst out laughing when he heard this.

"Are you afraid I'll cheat?"

"No, I want to see where the confidence comes from for someone who has been out of the circle for a few years."

…

After leaving the research institute, Jiang Yao saw that it was still early, so he did not call Jiang Haozhe. He planned to take a taxi home to look at some materials and go out again when it was time for dinner.

Unexpectedly, as soon as she walked out of the school gate, she was almost hit by a speeding sports car.

The information in his hand was scattered all over the floor.

She didn't have time to see who it was and immediately squatted down to pick it up.

A pair of high-end sheepskin women's boots appeared in the field of vision.
