"You...you dare!"
Qiao Xuemei was furious, never expecting that one day she would be manipulated by a country woman.
"Of course I dare! Anyway, things have already blown up. At worst, we'll all die together, and I can take someone down with me! If Dr. Qiao is willing to find an opportunity for Yuan Zhiqing, he won't forget your kindness when he achieves something in the future. That's a win-win situation. Think it over carefully!"
Jiang Xiu raised her hand. Anyway, she knew that Yuan Zhong would be successful in the future. Since she couldn't stay in the village now, she might as well change her environment. She had long wanted to get rid of this poor and remote place.
"I'm sorry, Dr. Qiao, we...we really have no other choice. If you don't agree, that's okay. I...I won't blame you."
Yuan Zhong, standing to the side, lowered his eyebrows. Since Jiang Xiu was playing the bad cop, he would play the good cop. With one step back and the other forward, it would be good for Qiao Xuemei to find a way to back down.
Sure enough, after a while, she suppressed the disgust in her eyes and thought that at least Yuan Zhong had said something sensible. Letting them into the city might cause some trouble for Jiang Wanqing. It seemed that getting that woman to divorce Cheng Ran in the short term was impossible, so she could only plan for the long term...
Aside from her vacations, she works at the hospital. Recently, she heard that Cheng Ran is using his connections at the school. If Jiang Wanqing and Yuan Zhong could cross paths, wouldn't that be perfect?
After going through all the thoughts in her mind, Qiao Xuemei felt that the benefits outweighed the drawbacks, and after a moment's consideration, she agreed.
"Fine, it's just getting into the city, I can help you. After that, whether you live or die is none of my business. You're not as lucky as that bitch Jiang Wanqing, who has someone like Cheng Ran backing her up. You'd better make some plans. Paving the way is easy, but how you carry out this plan is up to you."
Qiao Xuemei made things clear in advance for two reasons. First, to remind Jiang Xiu to hate Jiang Wanqing thoroughly. Second, to prepare for severing ties in the future. After all, she only cooperated with this kind of person during special periods and didn't want to get involved in a long-term relationship!
Upon hearing that she had agreed to help, Jiang Xiu immediately changed her tune, her eyebrows dancing with delight.
"You'll be glad you made that decision today. We, the Yuan educated youth, are destined for great things, I'm sure of it!"
"Hmph, then best of luck to you."
Too lazy to argue with them any longer, Qiao Xuemei quickly left this troublesome place. She needed to think of a way to cover up what had happened today, and she couldn't let her know that she was involved in such petty things in the countryside...
After she left, Jiang Xiu happily took Yuan Zhong's hand. He didn't show it on his face, but he was extremely disgusted inside. He pulled his hand away, but forced himself not to let go.
"Brother Yuan Zhong, your chance has come. All that's left is for you to succeed in the college entrance exam..."
"The college entrance examination?" Yuan Zhong frowned.
"Oh, what I mean is, with your abilities, if you work at the school for a while, and then a big opportunity like the college entrance exam comes along, you can immediately change your destiny!"
Her eyes flickered. She couldn't let anyone know about her rebirth, otherwise everyone would definitely think she was crazy. Some things were best kept to herself, and that was her advantage.
Yuan Zhong felt a surge of pride. Whether he should say it or not, Jiang Xiu's words always made him feel good. He had always believed that he was a person of great talent, but he just lacked opportunities.
...
After the Jiang family's matter was resolved, Jiang Wanqing stayed at home for two days to quell the arrogance of Jiang Jianwei and his wife before leaving.
I thought that since I wasn't there, Cheng Ran might be inconvenienced and the house might be a bit messy. But when I went back and opened the door, I was surprised to find that the house was spotless and as clean as ever.
"Cheng Ran?"
She didn't see him in the living room and assumed he and Hung Hing had gone to do rehabilitation therapy. She put down the things she brought from the countryside in the corner, pushed open the door and went inside to change her dusty clothes.
But she noticed a letter of recommendation on the low cabinet beside the bed. She never touched these kinds of documents carelessly, for fear that they might be confidential information related to Cheng Ran's work. So, just like this time, she thoughtfully put the letter back in the cabinet for him, muttering to herself.
"It's not a good habit to leave important things lying around..."
She reached in and shoved the things inside, struggling to stand on tiptoe. As soon as she let go, the cabinet wobbled, and she lost her balance and fell backward.
"ah!"
A pair of strong arms supported her falling body, and she almost lifted her feet off the ground.
Be careful.
It was Cheng Ran's voice. She steadied herself and waited for him to put her down before patting her chest.
"Thank you, thank goodness you caught me in time."
She was still supporting herself on his arm with one hand, her head slightly lowered, her neckline slightly open, revealing a glimpse of her skin. Cheng Ran turned his face away, cleared his throat, and helped her stand up straight.
"Ahem... What were you doing just now? One of the cabinet legs was gnawed by a rat. I'll have someone come and fix it another day."
“I saw the letter you put on the low cabinet and put it away for you. It wouldn’t be good if someone else saw it, especially if it was something important.”
Cheng Ran almost subconsciously flicked her nose and said with satisfaction, "Your sense of secrecy is not bad."
After he finished speaking, he saw Jiang Wanqing freeze, staring at him with both eyes, and then she blankly raised her hand to touch the tip of her nose.
"You..." She swallowed, her lips twitching, before changing the subject: "You can stand up now?"
He appeared suddenly when he helped her up; he wasn't in a wheelchair, which is why I asked that question.
He nodded and said, "The physical therapy is working well. Sister Lan let me try walking. I'm still a little unsteady, but at least I don't have to sit in a wheelchair all the time."
"This is a good thing!"
Jiang Wanqing grabbed his shoulder and jumped up happily. Cheng Ran was infected by her emotions and patted her head.
"Did you read the letter you mentioned on the low cabinet?"
"I didn't see it!" she said, holding up three fingers with utmost sincerity.
He couldn't help but chuckle, took out the recommendation letter she had put away, opened it in front of her, and placed it in her hand.
"Look, this has something to do with you."
If he hadn't said anything, Jiang Wanqing would never have guessed that it was related to her. However, his words put her mind at ease, and she began to browse.
The above content is short, concise, but important!
After reading it, her eyes widened in surprise: "They're recommending me to be a teacher at a school?! Is that true?"
"Yes, it's true. I had someone check your past educational background. You are fully qualified to teach elementary school, if you're willing."
This was something Jiang Wanqing wouldn't have dared to dream of in her previous life. She had indeed been to school, but due to her father's illness and the family's poor financial situation, she had to drop out...
She was planning to take the college entrance exam to prepare for the exam after it was reinstated, but Cheng Ran gave her such a big surprise!
"I do!"
She was so happy that she forgot that Cheng Ran's legs had only just been able to walk and couldn't support him for long. When she exerted force, she accidentally brought him down.
Fortunately, the bed was right next to the cabinet, so he didn't fall too badly. He groaned and braced his elbow against the bed frame.
"Um……"
