Chapter 157

Jiang Zhinian was startled and blurted out, "How did you know?"

Shi Ye glanced at her and said, "I guessed it based on your expression."

Jiang Zhinian didn't believe it: "Is it true or not? It's not that easy to guess."

Shi Ye chuckled and teased her: "Of course it's fake, I checked Qin Yuming."

Many people think that they are active on the Internet using an online nickname, but in fact, as long as they leave traces, there must be a way to follow them. He had already thoroughly investigated Qin Yuming in the vast dark web world.

When he was 18, his first love, who was six years older than him, got pregnant unexpectedly. The woman wanted to use the child to force him to marry into a wealthy family, but the wealthy family was not a pushover and directly stated that he could keep the child but could not get married.

In the end, the woman took a hush money and disappeared abroad, leaving Qin Ziyang to be raised outside by the Qin family as their nephew. It was in recent years that because Qin Yuming had always refused to get married, the two elders missed their grandson so much that they took Qin Ziyang back and raised him by their side.

Jiang Zhinian hesitated and said, "Feng Peipei probably doesn't know about this... Just now, at some point, I suddenly wanted to see her laugh and see her end."

She looked up at Shi Ye: "Shi Ye, do you think... I am a little..."

She was very afraid to let Shi Ye know her dark side. After all, she was just a coward, but not a saint who could tolerate everything. She would also be angry, and would want to see the people she hated make a fool of themselves or even get into trouble.

At that time, she would be secretly happy in her heart, but dare not show it at all.

"No, I think it's fine. If you hate someone, just... pray for him to have bad luck. You're doing the right thing."

If it were him, he would even take action himself and find ways to make the other party unlucky, such as... Liu Ziming, who repeatedly provoked him and even coveted Jiang Zhinian's beauty.

Shi Ye lowered his eyes. Of course, there was no need to let Jiang Zhinian know this.

Jiang Zhinian was a little happy to be encouraged. She simply said everything she was thinking: "I...actually, I was just wondering, if Feng Peipei knew one day that her dream of marrying into a wealthy family by getting pregnant was shattered, how would she react..."

Will she choose to keep the baby or abort it?

"Tell me, is this destiny? Those who harm others will eventually suffer the consequences themselves."

She is actually a person who finds it difficult to open her heart to others and show herself. Shi Ye is the first and only person who allows her to show the dark side of her heart without restraint.

Shi Ye didn't react much to Jiang Zhinian's unusual behavior. He just nodded and said, "Of course, we can wait and see the results."

…

After one morning, Jiang Zhinian's class had a classmate named Qin Ziyang, and the income from the charity sale was as high as 70,000. Jiang Zhinian sent the statistical results to the group and was shocked to find that they were the class that raised the most donations.

She and several parents on the parent committee were sorting and checking the expenses of the charity sale when suddenly a parent from the next class came over.

"Teacher Wang, I want to tell you something. We parents paid for all the items in our charity sale. Why should we return the unsold items to the school and not let us take them home?"

Teacher Wang, the head teacher of Class 3 next door, was relatively young. He was stunned for a moment before responding, "Parents, it's like this. The charity sale is organized by the Parents' Committee. I'm not very clear about your specific regulations. Do you think you should communicate with the Parents' Committee?"

"What's the point of a PTA? The PTA still listens to your teacher. They said that all the toys collected should be donated to the class and used as prizes for future activities. Isn't that what your teacher instructed? Now you're trying to shirk responsibility with a simple excuse: 'I don't understand.'"

He grew angrier and angrier as he spoke. "I see that the class next door, Class 1, can bring in their unused belongings to sell, but our class insists that we parents spend our own money to buy new things to sell. Fine, we cooperated with you, but now you want to take back the things we spent money on and use them as class prizes. No, I want to know why."

The parent was a little emotional, and Teacher Wang was a little overwhelmed. He said hello to Jiang Zhinian and took the parent aside to calm him down.

Jiang Zhinian was startled. The parent committee member next to her said, "Fortunately, our class has the children selling their unused household items for charity, so we don't have this kind of trouble. I think it's better for us to do this. Otherwise, just buying and selling things would be a mess. Teacher Jiang, if you don't believe me, just wait and see. There will be a fuss later."

…

Jiang Zhinian returned home in the evening. After dinner, he lay on the sofa waiting to eat fruit. As expected, the group became lively.

It turned out that in addition to Teacher Wang's class, the neighboring classes 2 and 4 were also making trouble during the day. Class 2 was because the parent committee did not notify them in place, which resulted in some parents not knowing whether to buy new goods or bring unused goods to sell. As a result, they found out afterwards that the purchase of these goods was paid for by the parent committee, and the payment was collected in the group in the evening. When everyone was splitting the bill, they were questioned why they were not notified in advance. Some parents directly refused to share the cost on the grounds that they were not aware of it in advance.

Class 4 discovered, when the fees were shared, that some parents secretly took unsold goods from their stalls home for their own use and did not hand them in. When the parents' committee went to inquire about the situation, they were using a public account and had no idea which stall sold more and which sold less, so they naturally could not find out who took the items away. This made it unfair and ridiculous for everyone to share the fees.

All of a sudden the group became extremely lively, and the head teachers of these classes were all troubled and didn't know how to deal with this kind of thing.

What was supposed to be a good charity sale ended up in a mess.

Jiang Zhinian put away her phone and was in a daze for a while. Shi Ye brought a bowl of fruit and sat aside. He peeled a lychee and put it next to her mouth.

"Try it."

Jiang Zhinian put the whole lychee into her mouth, and her soft tongue accidentally licked Shi Ye's fingers.

"Is it tasty."

"It's a little sour."

"The sweet lychees haven't come down yet."

Shi Ye peeled another one and put it into Jiang Zhinian's mouth.

Jiang Zhinian originally wanted to say that she could peel it herself, but when she looked up and met Shi Ye's eyes, she suddenly understood something.

She lowered her head to eat the lychee, then secretly stuck out her tongue and licked Shi Ye's fingertips with a hint of flattery.

"What are you doing?" Shi Ye said in a calm tone, as if he didn't understand what Jiang Zhinian was doing. "Like a cat."

Jiang Zhinian asked himself if he had guessed his meaning correctly. There was only one possibility: Shi Ye was acting with him.

She deliberately raised her eyes and said in an innocent and simple tone, "I'm eating lychees, what's wrong?"

Shi Ye looked at his fingers stained with lychee juice, and gently wiped them across the side of Jiang Zhinian's face, leaving a faint watermark.
