Chapter 26 "Jiang Yingxu is a born cold-blooded monster."

Cai Wenguang: ? ? ? ? ?

What is it?

Elementary school students?! They're already reacting negatively?!

He stared at the cat avatar and guessed that the account must belong to a girl.

Fingers flew across the keyboard, typing maliciously.

[Cai Wenguang: You're standing up for Jiang Yingxu like this, you don't happen to like him, do you?]

[Cat King: Jiang Yingxu is tall, handsome, and has good grades. If I didn't like him, would I like a piece of stinking dog shit like you?]

[Cat King: Sorry, I insulted dogs. Although I hate dogs, they don't deserve this. They probably don't want to poop out something like you either.]

【Cat King: [Cute]】

You're so cute, what a load of crap!

Cai Wenguang almost fainted from anger and choked on his breath.

He paced around in place twice to calm himself down, glanced at his phone, then flew into a rage again, paced around twice more, and glanced at it once more.

I'm so angry!!!

Panting heavily, Cai Wenguang smashed his phone against the corner of the wall.

A loud thud.

The phone screen flickered and then went completely black.

Cai Wenguang didn't speak again, which didn't surprise the people in the group.

It's quite normal for someone who's petty and consumed by jealousy to die of anger.

After successfully launching a unilateral attack and pursuit, the Cat King logged off gracefully, leaving behind those still discussing the matter enthusiastically in the group chat.

Xia Hui and her friends were having dinner in the cafeteria.

Little Fatty was eating while playing on his phone. At first, he cursed, "Go check the class group chat, that idiot is at it again."

He was calling on several people to speak in the group chat.

My fingers are still on the virtual keyboard.

Cat Queen arrived with her sarcastic and sarcastic tone, looking aggressive.

The chubby boy slapped his thigh while laughing, "Wow, who is this? That insult was so satisfying!"

Xia Hui couldn't stop laughing either, and clicked on Cat King's profile, "Let me see... Huh, it's a new account, only registered a day ago?"

Zou Yuanyuan: "...It's Miaomiao."

“She just added me, saying she couldn’t find her old account and registered a new one.”

She recalled her classmate's delicate, sweet, and well-behaved appearance, then looked down at the comments in the group chat that were relentlessly attacking Cai Wenguang.

After a moment's hesitation, "It should be right... right?"

-

That's absolutely right.

Shi Miao hadn't expected that, just as she was thinking about when to buy a phone, Jiang Yingxu would lead her through a maze of twists and turns and into a mobile phone store.

The store is small, with glass counters filled with mobile phones on three sides.

A middle-aged man was busy repairing mobile phones behind the counter, while a tall young man stood on the other side, surrounded by three or four elderly people who were helping him.

"Grandpa, there's nothing wrong with your phone. You just put it on silent. I've turned it on for you, so you can continue watching videos now."

"Grandma, you still have 12 yuan left in your phone credit. I've recharged it with 50 yuan."

"Grandpa, you've accidentally pressed drawer mode. The app hasn't disappeared. Just change it back."

The boy looked up, revealing a head of bright red short hair, and his eyes lit up when he saw Jiang Yingxu push the door open and enter.

"Brother Xu!"

After seeing off the elderly, he came running over like a little red dog.

"Brother Xu, what brings you here today? Aren't you working a part-time job? Wow, Brother Xu, is this your cat? It's so cute!"

Shi Miao tilted her head to avoid the red-haired man's hand that was reaching out to touch her without any restraint, and opened her mouth to let out a "ha".

Red Hair: "So fierce! No wonder it's your cat, Brother Xu!"

Shi Miao: "?"

What's the connection?

The man behind the counter looked up, put down his tools, and gave a simple, honest smile.

"Yingxu is here, Xiaoyi, stop swaying around, cough cough cough..."

Red Hair walked to the counter in a few steps, picked up a water glass and handed it to the man.

The man took a couple of sips of water to suppress the itch in his throat. "Yingxu, let's have dinner at home tonight."

Jiang Yingxu shook his head. "I have other things to do. Uncle He, you're busy. I'll go find Rong Yi to buy a cell phone."

He Cao understood Jiang Yingxu's personality and knew he was busy, so he smiled and didn't try to persuade him further.

He Rongyi: "Brother Xu, you're finally going to get a new phone. The one you have is so laggy it's practically a PowerPoint presentation. You should have replaced it a long time ago."

He looked around and found several models with good cost performance.

"Brother Xu, which one do you want?"

Jiang Yingxu tilted his head slightly, "Meow meow, which one do you want?"

He Rongyi chuckled: "Haha, Brother Xu, you even need to ask the cat's opinion when buying a phone?"

Shi Miao was stunned for a moment, then meowed in confusion.

"Let me see?"

Jiang Yingxu said softly, "Yes, I bought it for you."

He paused for a moment and then explained, "If anything happens that you can't handle at home, you can contact me immediately."

The following sentence is spoken lightly.

He Rongyi didn't hear clearly, only Shi Miao on his shoulder did.

Shi Miao: "But your money..."

Jiang Yingxu patiently said, "I have savings, and I also have subsidies now, so these aren't expensive."

He himself was still using a used phone that he had discarded, but when he heard Zou Yuanyuan ask about phones in the morning, his first reaction was to buy Shi Miao a new one.

Shi Miao was persuaded and, without further hesitation, tilted her head and nuzzled Jiang Yingxu's head, accepting the offering from the domesticated human.

His eyes swept over the several mobile phones on the counter, and he picked one that looked good.

The cat accepted it.

I'll buy you a new cat another day!

Jiang Yingxu chose the one Shi Miao had her eye on, while He Rongyi took it aside and got another card.

Although he dyed his hair a striking red, his features were delicate, with large eyes and a slightly blank expression when he smiled.

And he talks a lot.

While applying for the card, she chattered away, completely oblivious to Jiang Yingxu's silence.

"Brother Xu, why do you need to get a new card? Don't you already have one? Which number should I call to contact you in the future?"

"Are you still working part-time at that store? Last time I passed by while delivering a phone, it wasn't you working there, it was another guy."

“My mom is feeling better now, and she even said she’s going to knit you a sweater these past few days…”

Jiang Yingxu frowned slightly and interrupted him, "Let Auntie get some rest."

He Rongyi chuckled: "I know, I'll tell my mom."

"Brother Xu, when are you free to come over for dinner?"

Jiang Yingxu lowered his eyes and responded softly, "Okay."

Shi Miao jumped onto the counter and watched He Rongyi skillfully install the SIM card and download the app.

She felt that the name He Rongyi sounded familiar.

In addition, Jiang Yingxu and He Rongyi had a familiar attitude towards each other.

In addition...

Bang!

The glass door of the small shop was slammed open, and a fat man with a cigarette in his mouth and a gold chain around his neck walked in.

"Old He," he opened his mouth, letting the gray smoke drift throughout the mobile phone shop, "Is my phone fixed yet? Why are you so slow? You've lost your legs, not your hands."

He Cao quickly said, "It's done."

He picked up the clean phone from the table with one hand and turned his wheelchair with the other, struggling to emerge from behind the counter.

Beneath the black trousers, there was nothing underneath from the knees down.

"Mr. Lin, I've fixed your phone."

The middle-aged fat man took another puff of his cigarette, took the phone, opened it, and asked with a knowing smile, "Okay, how much?"

He Cao rubbed his hands nervously. "No, no money needed."

Mr. Lin put his phone away with satisfaction. "Old He, you really know how to repay kindness. I made the right choice renting this shop to you!"

He Cao: "Boss, could you... pay the rent for next quarter?"

Boss Lin's expression changed instantly.

"Old He, we're both people who need to support our families. You've worked hard, and I've had it pretty tough too. The rent around here has gone up to that level, and I'm only adding 800. I'm already being very lenient with you!"

“I could put this shop up for sale for another thousand and someone would want it. Old He, don’t beg for this and that. People should be content.”

"Alright, transfer the rent to my account in the next couple of days, or don't blame me for kicking you out!"

Boss Lin then turned to He Rongyi, waving his yellowish-skinned fingers, which were holding a cigarette, in the air.

"Old He, given your family's situation, you should let Xiao Yi go to work as soon as possible. What's the point of studying? If he continues to study, the family's savings will be wiped out."

He Cao, with his soft and gentle temperament, was exceptionally persistent on this matter.

"No, Xiao Yi wants to go to university."

Mr. Lin scoffed, saying dismissively that someone from No. 12 Middle School couldn't possibly get into any good university, and then turned and left.

"..."

He Rongyi lowered his head, his red hair losing some of its luster, and his hands clenched into fists.

Jiang Yingxu patted him on the shoulder.

He Rongyi's eyes were red as he forced a smile.

He said softly, "Brother Xu, I know. It will be fine once I get into university."

Little Red Hair raised his hand and vigorously wiped the corner of his eye.

He mumbled something in a nasal tone as he assembled the new phone.

“I’m already in the top ten in my class in this semester’s entrance exam. Next year, after the physical education exam and the college entrance exam, I will be able to go out and work, earn my own money, and take my parents to a new city.”

He Rongyi grinned foolishly.

"Brother Xu, don't worry. You've helped me so much, I won't give up easily."

He Cao coughed a few more times, then spun his wheelchair back behind the counter and called out He Rongyi's name.

He said there was a bag of apples in the rest area at the back, and asked He Rongyi to give it to Jiang Yingxu.

While waiting, Shi Miao asked softly, "Jiang Yingxu, is he your friend?"

Jiang Yingxu nodded, his voice low.

"yes."

He said, "Uncle He and Aunt Rong are my parents' friends. They bought the house across the street from each other in the community back then. Rong Yi and I have known each other since we were little."

After his parents died in a car accident, Uncle He's family helped him a lot.

He Rongyi even smashed his own piggy bank, stuffed a bag of coins into Jiang Yingxu's arms, patted his chest and said, "If you become my brother, I promise I'll share half of my food with you!"

Later, Uncle and Aunt Jiang moved in.

He Cao was caught in a malfunctioning machine and lost his lower leg. His wife, Rong Yan, was also frequently ill and took medicine, so they had to sell their house to pay for her medical treatment.

The two families went their separate ways and only met again two years ago.

"..."

Shi Miao finally understood why she felt a sense of familiarity.

In the book, after Jiang Yingxu returned to the Yan family, Yan Zhaozhou caught him meeting with a non-mainstream young man with red hair.

Yan Zhaozhou was too far away to hear what they were saying, but he saw Jiang Yingxu give Xiao Hongmao a sum of money.

He took the opportunity to mock Jiang Yingxu's social circle.

Jiang Yingxu still had some life in him at that time, and he retorted to Yan Zhaozhou without changing his expression.

Several years have passed.

Jiang Yingxu took over the Yan Group from Yan Zongjing and his first acquisition was a great success.

No one expected that the owner of the acquired company, harboring resentment, became increasingly cynical after drinking. He waited outside the hotel where the Yan Group was holding a celebration banquet and then rammed Jiang Yingxu with the gas pedal.

Jiang Yingxu was pushed aside.

The scene was too chaotic, and Yan Zhaozhou only heard from his family later that the person who saved Jiang Yingxu was a college student.

He came to ask Jiang Yingxu to return the money. He was a physical education major at a teachers' college, specializing in sprinting with explosive power.

I'm about to graduate and have received an acceptance letter from a middle school. I'll soon be becoming a physical education teacher.

He didn't die, but he ended up completely paralyzed.

From then on, he could no longer run freely on the playground.

Jiang Yingxu remained calm.

First aid during the incident, calling an ambulance, finding top surgeons and the best expert team, and the subsequent handling of the driver responsible for the accident.

After the final diagnosis of paralysis came out, he remained silent by the bedside for a long time, gave his friend a large sum of money, and sent the friend's parents to another city.

"How heartless."

Yan Zhaozhou's cronies said, "I heard that was a friend your brother had known since childhood. He became paralyzed because of him, but your brother didn't shed a single tear. He couldn't wait to send the person away, afraid of being entangled with him."

Later in the story, Jiang Yingxu's actions became increasingly cold and extreme, seemingly confirming what they had said—

"Jiang Yingxu is a born cold-blooded monster."
