Yan Shi and Song Ling exchanged a glance, their eyes flashing with sneer. Jiang Yuqing was too stupid, thinking herself clever, using Lin Miao as an informant and sending her to Lin Xiazhu's dormitory.
They came up with a plan to make Lin Miao and Lin Xiazhu become best friends and then find out Lin Xiazhu's secrets. In their opinion, Lin Xiazhu was definitely not so easy to deal with, and Lin Miao might not be able to get anything out of her.
However, since they couldn't find a better solution right now, they decided not to interfere and would see what Jiang Yuqing could find out.
So later, the story that Yan Shi and the others heard from Jiang Yuqing was that Lin Xiazhu was an illegitimate daughter of a branch of the Yan family.
Yan Shi: "?" So when her parents said they couldn't offend the other party, it was actually because they didn't want to air their dirty laundry in public. This branch of the family had a very close relationship with their family.
"Nonsense, absolutely impossible." Yan Shi didn't believe it at all, feeling like she had been tricked.
But Jiang Yuqing analyzed it seriously, "It could be true. I heard that she has a very good relationship with a certain daughter of the Yan family, like sisters..."
Yan Shi: "..." She knew who that person was; it was her older sister who had been mentally challenged for eighteen years but then suddenly became normal.
No, if the Yan family really had such an illegitimate daughter, there's no reason why Yan Xin would know but she wouldn't. Yan Shi is very confident in her position in her parents' hearts; she would never be outshone by Yan Xin.
Later, the information Jiang Yuqing received from Lin Miao was all about Lin Xiazhu's various connections with the Yan family, which made Yan Shi so angry that she almost slapped Jiang Yuqing across the face.
Although Jiang Yuqing's family background was not as good as Yan Shi's, she had a bigger temper than Yan Shi. How could she let anyone bully her? In any case, Yan Shi never dared to really hit her in the end.
"I bought all this information. Lin Miao often treated Lin Xiazhu to meals and bought her things in order to be friends with her. Lin Miao, that poor wretch, didn't have the money to spend like that, so I paid for it all."
Although Jiang Yuqing's family wasn't particularly wealthy, her parents were willing to give her money to spend, so sometimes Jiang Yuqing seemed to have more money than Yan Shi and Song Ling.
"I think you're just throwing money away, getting sold out and still helping the seller count the money, you idiot." Yan Shi sneered, she had absolutely no desire to hear anything about Lin Xiazhu from her anymore.
"Who are you calling stupid? What right do you have to insult me?" Jiang Yuqing was both angry and annoyed, and wanted to lose her temper, but she managed to stay rational and refrain from fighting.
Yan Shi sneered, "If you ever dare to mention Lin Xiazhu's connection to the Yan family in front of me again, I won't just scold you. Is your Jiang family tired of staying in the capital?"
The threat was blatant: if Jiang Yuqing dared to displease her again, she would use the Yan family's influence to make it impossible for the Jiang family to gain a foothold in the capital.
Jiang Yuqing understood, her face turned pale, and she dared not argue further.
"This is so boring. I thought I could meet some smart people, but instead I ran into an idiot like you. It seems I shouldn't stay in the dormitory anymore." Yan Shi made this arrogant announcement and left.
Then that very night, she went home and had the Yan family's driver pick her up and drop her off at school every day. Actually, she didn't want to live at school in the first place. If it weren't for Yan Xin suddenly waking up and not getting along with her, she would have moved out in a fit of anger because she saw that her parents favored Yan Xin. Her purpose was to make her parents worry.
But to my surprise, my parents didn't care about this at all. They thought that living on campus was the most normal thing for college students, and that only those who didn't live on campus were exceptions.
Because she insisted on living at school herself, and no one persuaded her to go back, she was caught in a dilemma and couldn't back down. After a few days, she couldn't stand the school's poor conditions and ran home, and has been putting it off until now.
At this moment, Lin Xiazhu was sitting in the manager's office of the jewelry store. She said to Yan Xin, who was sitting behind the desk, "It seems that Yan Shi has moved back home."
"Remove the 'seems like,' she just moved out of the dormitory and went home." Yan Xin had an expression that said, as if she had expected this.
"However, her home is a bit far from the school, and she has to get up more than an hour earlier in the morning. She can't keep it up for more than a few days, so she asked her parents for a house near the school. She'll probably move there in the next couple of days," Yan Xin sneered.
Lin Xiazhu just smiled and didn't care, because she had no idea that the apartment Yan Shi lived in was in the same community, the same building, and even the same floor as one of the apartments she bought.
"The jewelry store has already broken even and started making money. You'll soon earn back your initial investment. Even if you don't work, you won't starve. After all, I'll be opening a second, a third... many more jewelry chain stores. We can make a lot of money," Yan Xin said confidently.
"Then I'll be counting on you. After graduation, I won't look for a job; I'll just lie at home and count my money." Lin Xiazhu couldn't help but laugh out loud.
"Don't doubt it, that's really what I think, and I mean what I say. My future career is to expand the jewelry store, and I will definitely become a top international jewelry designer in the future."
She was determined to make her dream come true this time, a dream she almost achieved in her past life but didn't have the chance to realize.
Lin Xiazhu said seriously, "I'm not joking. My childhood dream was to be a lazy bum and still have money. Now I have rent and dividends from the jewelry store. I can completely live a life of ease. Why would I need to work?"
Seeing her so self-righteous, Yan Xin was stunned. "How can you think like that? You can never have too much money. You're not incapable, so how can you live such a decadent life?"
Yan Xin seemed to have already envisioned Lin Xiazhu graduating from university, throwing her diploma at the bottom of a cabinet, then spending her days lying in a recliner, sunbathing and sleeping, ordering takeout for meals, and living a lazy life until she was seventy or eighty.
"Isn't that what you guys are for? Besides you, there's Chacha and Taozi too. I don't count on Lin Xiaoxue. Lin Chacha is going to be a pig-raising tycoon in the future, contracting out all the agricultural land she can. She has a very promising future. Just think about how expensive pork will be in the last few years?"
Lin Xiazhu's eyes lit up, clearly very optimistic about her second sister. "Let alone whether pork prices have gone up, these days, which pig farmer hasn't made a fortune? And Chacha is very good at these things. She will definitely be able to do well and make a lot of money."
Yan Xin: "..." She was unable to refute it.
"What can Taozi do? She's just a naive and innocent girl." Yan Xin was deeply worried about Taozi. Lin Xiazhu used to be quite reliable, but how come she's become more and more outrageous as she grows up?
“Aside from her slightly poor grades, Taozi has many good qualities. She’s also very well-behaved. Just wait and see, she’ll soon achieve great things and definitely make a lot of money,” Lin Xiazhu said confidently.
In the second half of the year, Cha Cha will graduate from vocational school, Lin Xiaoxue will start high school, and Tao Zi will start junior high. Once Tao Zi graduates from junior high, she will bring her to the capital to be properly trained. Whether it's painting, singing, or dancing, she is very good at it. With a few more years of focused training, she will be able to graduate.
"I've decided that I'll invest in Taozi to set up a dance training class or an art training class, and teach some children to dance and draw."
Yan Xin nodded, "That's a good idea. I can invest in it and send Taozi abroad for a few years of further study. She'll be even more sought after when she comes back."
There's no way around it; studying abroad is still very popular these days, and returning from overseas studies inexplicably elevates one's status.
