Rebirth in the 90s: I Became the Richest Woman by Setting Up a Stall

At 35, Jiang Xiaoli went wild skiing with friends, only to die in an avalanche. She woke up to find herself back at 16, a year when her beloved mother was still alive!

Given a second chance, ...

Chapter 519 Not on the same path

Ten minutes later, Tan Xuanyi's expression softened. "This version is indeed fine. Let's leave it at that."

Jiang Xiaoli breathed a sigh of relief, "It's finally settled, it wasn't easy."

Tan Xuanyi said irritably, "You're already impatient after only two revisions?"

She quickly waved her hand to deny it, "How could that be? I just feel great that I've finally resolved one of the biggest issues before graduation."

"Hmph!" Tan Xuanyi said unhappily, "If I hadn't contacted you the day before yesterday, were you not planning to tell me about your marriage?"

Jiang Xiaoli quickly raised her hands in surrender, "What are you thinking? I've only just gotten my marriage certificate and haven't had the wedding yet. My wedding is scheduled for October. Even if you don't want to go, I'll pack it up and take you with me!"

"It's just a wedding, where are you taking me?" Tan Xuanyi felt much better after hearing her explanation.

She explained with a smile, "My grandparents are in Great Britain, so the wedding will be held there. Don't worry, you just need to apply for a passport in advance, and I'll take care of everything else."

Tan Xuanyi waved his hand and said, "I'm not going abroad. The flight takes so long. I'm not going!"

She raised an eyebrow. "Then I'll have to pack it up and take it with you."

Tan Xuanyi was speechless. "Are you a bandit?"

"Hehe, you never know!"

During lunch, Ran Hui said with a smile, "Xiao Li, President Qiao called me and said that the casting for 'The Fang Family' will begin soon."

She really didn't know about this. "Really? Then you'd better keep your eyes open and take a good look."

Ran Hui humbly said, "I'm just a screenwriter who doesn't understand the specifics of film and television production. I can only help by checking if the actors resemble the images in my mind."

"That's good!" Jiang Xiaoli said with a smile. "I feel like this kind of thing is a bit mystical, don't you think?"

“That’s how it is!” Ran Hui shared, “Manager Qiao gave me a shortlist of candidates for the lead roles. I had someone look at their photos, and there were a few people who really looked like the ones I had in mind.”

The two women chatted non-stop, and Tan Xuanyi, unable to get a word in edgewise, deliberately picked a fight, saying, "Those film and television bases are all very far away. What will you do for meals while you're busy?"

Ran Hui was unhappy. "I'm not your cook, why don't you go eat at the school cafeteria? Or you can cook for yourself!"

Tan Xuanyi knew he was in the wrong, so he said in a muffled voice, "Eating alone isn't enjoyable!"

Jiang Xiaoli chuckled. "Professor Ran, Professor Tan is just reluctant to see you go out to work!"

Ran Hui glanced helplessly at her husband, "I'm just a screenwriter, I don't spend every day on set, you're just full of ulterior motives!"

Tan Xuanyi's mouth dropped open. "You don't go every day? That's fine then."

"Haha," she said enviously, "You two have such a wonderful relationship!"

Ran Hui smiled and said, "This old man argues with me all the time, yet we have a good relationship?"

Jiang Xiaoli nodded, "The best relationship is one that can't be broken up by arguments."

Tan Xuanyi glanced at her and said, "No wonder she got married so early; she knows a thing or two."

"That's right!"

In the afternoon, Jiang Xiaoli went to see her counselor.

Fang Yong handed her a form. "If you're applying for early graduation, you need to pass the exams for the remaining 6 courses by the end of April. Once you're ready, fill out the form two weeks in advance and hand it to me. I'll apply to arrange the exams for you."

Jiang Xiaoli carefully put away the application form. "Teacher Fang, thank you for taking care of me these past two years."

Fang Yong smiled and said, "This is my job. I feel very proud to have a student like you."

He paused, then asked, "Now that the 'Jiang Family Scholarship' basically covers all students in the university, what are your plans for the future?"

His words lingered in Jiang Xiaoli's mind. She smiled and replied, "Peking University will always be my alma mater. I will support the operation of the 'Jiang Family Scholarship.' After I graduate, I'll need Professor Fang's help to look after me."

Fang Yong immediately smiled and nodded, "Don't worry, I will definitely do my best."

Leaving the counselor's office, Jiang Xiaoli chuckled softly; she didn't dislike Fang Yong's behavior.

In her view, it is perfectly normal to use one's own advantages to strive for better development without affecting others.

From the first day she entered Peking University, Fang Yong had always given her a good impression; he was a very serious and responsible person.

With that in mind, she called Zhu Han and asked, "Please recommend my advisor, Fang Yong, to Peking University to coordinate the details of the 'Jiang's Scholarship' with the group."

It was still early, so Jiang Xiaoli went to the library, found the textbooks for the courses she needed for the exams, and sat down to read.

As the afternoon passed and the students around her changed several times, only she and one other person remained at her desk.

She glanced up casually, "Xu Xing?"

The boy opposite looked up. "You were so focused, and you only just noticed me?"

Jiang Xiaoli smiled and said, "Yes, I have six exams to take. It's been a long time. How have you been lately? Why haven't you gone to your usual spot with Keke and the others?"

Xu Xing packed his things. "Shall we talk outside?"

Jiang Xiaoli put the book she had just been reading back on the shelf and left the library with Xu Xing.

"What's wrong? What do you want to tell me?"

Xu Xing stopped by a flower bed. "I heard you got married?"

Jiang Xiaoli patted him on the shoulder with a smile, "Great job! You're very well-informed! But don't worry, the wedding isn't until October. I'll send you invitations then!"

Xu Xing was silent for two seconds. He had a lot to say, but he didn't know where to begin.

At this moment, the seed of unrequited love in his heart withered and decayed completely.

In the end, he only said, "That's great. Zong Jia and you are a good match. I wish you happiness."

Jiang Xiaoli said with a smile, "I will!"

After that, they seemed to run out of things to talk about. Xu Xing checked the time and said, "You should go home now. I'm going to eat."

"Okay, bye-bye!"

In the Peking University cafeteria, Xu Xing was sitting alone in a corner, quietly eating his meal, when suddenly someone walked up from behind and sat down next to him.

Yu Yang handed him a thermos, "Here, this is for curing heartbreak."

Xu Xing immediately turned to stare at him, and Yu Yang smiled and said, "Brother, the others may not be able to tell, but do you think I, a master of love, can't? Alright, she's married, so stop thinking about her. You two were never meant to be."

Xu Xing lowered his head and silently replied, "Yes, we're not on the same path."

He picked up Yu Yang's "heartbreak cure" and took a sip. "Pfft—is this baijiu?"

Yu Yang looked at him with disdain, "This is Wuliangye! Are you just going to waste it like this?"

Xu Xing:......
