Chapter 161 Not even half as good as you



The man spoke coldly, "You really don't know?"

"To put it bluntly, other people's deaths are nothing compared to your safety."

In fact, Jiang Yue could tell from Zhou Ji's words that he was worried about her safety.

But when it comes to something as urgent as saving lives, she can't afford to spend time thinking things through and carefully calculating whether it's worth it.

Jiang Yue remained silent; it was impossible to say whether this matter was right or wrong.

Zhou Ji had the driver take the car to the hospital for another check-up, and only after finding nothing seriously wrong did he feel relieved.

Zhou Ji didn't let her go. Instead, he used the excuse that she was injured and needed someone to take care of her to bring her back to the Zhou family's old house.

Mr. and Mrs. Zhou have been quite busy with work lately.

I might not go home even once every ten days or half a month.

Jiang Yue injured her right hand, which was indeed inconvenient. She had to wrap the wound with plastic wrap before taking a bath.

The attack on the kindergarten was broadcast by reputable news media at the time.

The media did not name the parent who bravely stepped forward.

Some people online, however, are keeping you in suspense and vaguely claiming that they know who the parent who acted bravely is.

And he mysteriously said that everyone would be shocked if he revealed his name.

This evasive approach annoys onlookers.

"Speak if you have something to say, otherwise get lost."

"The suspect was a tall man, about 1.8 meters. The person who could pin him down was probably also a tall man, which means I've decided that I'll marry a tall man in the future."

"Who is it?! Stop keeping me in suspense! I can't take it anymore! Twisting, writhing, rolling, dark, crawling! Tell me, tell me!"

"Why does this kindergarten's name sound so familiar?"

"What do you think? It's because it's full of privileged second-generation rich kids, so of course it feels familiar. Maybe you've stopped there before."

Suddenly it seemed like someone had actually remembered.

"Is Jiang Yue's son studying there?"

"No way, no way, it can't be such a coincidence."

"What are you trying to say? You're very wise. Do you think Jiang Yue, with her skinny arms and legs, can take down a strong man who's 1.8 meters tall? And a strong man who's going crazy."

That makes sense when you think about it that way.

It was just a beautiful coincidence.

Zhao Shuyan happened to be waiting for the bus near the kindergarten when she saw a lot of police cars and ambulances coming from the opposite direction.

A while later, she checked her phone and found out what had happened.

She had a strange, indescribable feeling, as if the story shouldn't have unfolded this way, and she should have walked to the kindergarten across the street.

She should…

What should it be?

She couldn't remember.

My phone suddenly beeped; it was a notification that a bank card had received a deposit.

The amount is substantial, enough to ensure she has enough to live comfortably for the next few years.

This is compensation from the Qin family, as a thank you for her help last time.

Zhao Shuyan had already politely declined several times and returned the money several times. She was short of money, but she didn't want it.

She... she said she couldn't accept so much money as compensation.

Actually… he had other plans in mind.

Debts of gratitude are the hardest to repay, but the Qin family doesn't seem to care about that.

She risked her life to save their child, yet she received no respect whatsoever, nor the expected gratitude she would have been shown.

She had considered the situation for a long time before she lunged forward.

But what we got was far less than we had imagined.

Zhao Shuyan felt somewhat resentful. She knew that what she was doing wasn't exactly upright, but everyone has selfish desires, and she was no exception.

The invisible barriers between different social circles are like towering mountains.

Crossing social classes is even more difficult than climbing to the sky.

She just wanted to make her future as good as possible.

The instinct to seek advantage and avoid harm is also human nature.

Zhao Shuyan silently closed the text message. This time, she didn't insist on returning the money. If she did it again and again, her aloofness would seem extremely deliberate.

Her target shifted to Jiang Zhi, a classmate who had previously had feelings for her.

Jiang Zhi was once a prominent figure at school, and now he is a rising star in the scientific research field. His future is clearly bright.

Whether it's joining a world-class pharmaceutical research company.

Whether he stays at the university as the youngest visiting professor, his future is bright enough.

After careful consideration, Zhao Shuyan drafted a text message: "Jiang, I have some medical questions I'd like to ask you. Are you free recently?"

After sending that message, I also sent a really cute emoji: [Cat being cute jpg.]

The evening wind made her shiver, and her teeth chattered from the cold. By the time she got on the bus, Jiang Zhi still hadn't replied to her message.

The reply came only after it was completely dark.

Sorry, I'll be very busy these next few months. Please feel free to contact me via WeChat if you have any questions.

Zhao Shuyan stared at the words for a long time. After thinking for a moment, she wrote, "I was accidentally cut by a knife about two weeks ago. The doctor gave me some medicine, but the wound hasn't healed."

Zhao Shuyan also casually posted a photo of herself receiving treatment in the hospital. Every word and every photo she sent had its own ulterior motive.

Jiang Zhi's tone was the same as before, but there was a subtle hint of coldness in it: "Send me the medication the doctor prescribed."

Zhao Shuyan breathed a sigh of relief, realizing that she had been overthinking things again.

Jiang Zhi probably still has feelings for her, but he is naturally aloof, taciturn, and not very good at expressing himself, which is why he is so sparing with words.

Zhao Shuyan sent the medication instructions, and the boy replied with a simple four-word reply: 【No problem.】

After those few brief words, nothing more was said.

Zhao Shuyan gripped her phone tightly, looking down at the somewhat cold conversation. She didn't know where the problem lay. Had she done anything that would annoy people? Probably not.

Is it true that a man's affection can only last for such a short time?

Jiang Zhi doesn't seem like that kind of person.

As his name suggests, he was very persistent.

Just like during his four years of university, he stubbornly maintained a long distance from his sister, keeping their relationship clearly separated.

Even now, Jiang Zhi and Jiang Yue's relationship doesn't seem to be going well.

They never appeared together, and Jiang Yue didn't show up when Jiang Zhi needed to take graduation photos after graduating from university.

Jiang Yue and him are probably still in a frozen state.

Zhao Shuyan could only conclude that she was overthinking things; Jiang Zhi was a man of few words to begin with.

The Qin family learned of Jiang Yue's injury at kindergarten quite late.

Yan Wan was extremely anxious, and she was not so gentle in front of her husband and son. She even complained to the two of them: "I told you we should have brought her back and arranged for a few bodyguards to protect her on a regular basis. Otherwise, such a terrifying thing would not have happened."

Qin Genzhi naturally hoped that his daughter could come home and truly accept them.

But the little girl was like a kitten that would easily get frightened and run away; she couldn't be scared and was also very vengeful.

He absolutely did not want his daughter to hold a grudge against him.

The living room lights were on all the time, as bright as day.

Qin Zhao had just rushed back from the office. He had been in meetings for several days in a row, and his brows were furrowed with a cold and ruthless expression. He said, "I'm going to see my sister now."

Qin Genzhi hummed in agreement, then asked, "Is she in the hospital?"

Qin Zhao said, "No."

Mentioning this, the gentle and composed man's eyes darkened slightly, and he uttered the words expressionlessly: "At the Zhou family."
