Only a small number of people knew that Jiang Yanxin was ill.
Su Xiao mentioned this because she went back to the Su family last night and learned about it from them.
She brought it up casually because He Xiao mentioned that Jiang Zhixing had taken leave.
Shen Linyue seemed to be deep in thought, then turned to He Xiao beside her and asked, "Does Jiang Zhixing care a lot about his mother?"
He Xiao's expression was indifferent; he didn't care at all whether Jiang Yanxin was sick or not. He seemed to remember something and gave a wicked smile.
"Jiang Zhixing is a mama's boy. He won't let anyone say a bad word about his mother, haha."
Shen Linyue paused, thinking about the description of Jiang Yanxin in the original text: she was controlling and very strict with the male protagonist, whose childhood was filled with various study classes and tutoring classes, leaving him with no time for himself.
In the early stages, the male lead was very protective of Jiang Yanxin, and the female lead couldn't say a bad word about her.
The situation changes later on because Jiang Yanxin still wants to control the male lead's feelings and force him into a marriage after he comes of age.
The relationship between the male and female leads broke down as a result. Jiang Yanxin even went to the female lead in private and belittled her, ultimately leading to their breakup. Only then did the male lead realize how outrageous Jiang Yanxin was and began to lose all hope in her.
He moved out of the Jiang family home and lived alone, and then began his pursuit of his wife.
"Which hospital is Jiang Yanxin recuperating at?" Shen Linyue asked Su Xiao, pulling herself out of her thoughts.
Before Su Xiao could speak, He Xiao interjected, "You want to go see Jiang Yanxin? Are you crazy?"
Shen Linyue glanced at He Xiao indifferently, without answering.
Su Xiao thought for a moment and replied, "It should be at the Jiang family's private hospital? It's in the northern suburbs."
"The environment there is nice, and Jiang Yanxin's health is not very good, so it is a good place for her to rest and recuperate."
Shen Linyue raised an eyebrow, looking at her with amusement: "Did you hear these things from your family?"
Su Xiaowei looked slightly embarrassed. "My family has some cooperation with the Jiang family. My dad has access to it, and I've heard about it occasionally."
Actually, the Su family was trying to curry favor with the Jiang family. Even though she wasn't well-liked, she had heard about it. Especially now that she was studying at Taipei High School, her father would always intentionally or unintentionally remind her to get along well with Jiang Zhixing.
"Why did you go to see Jiang Yanxin?" He Xiao was annoyed at being ignored and forced his way into their conversation.
Meeting He Xiao's resentful and displeased gaze, Shen Linyue finally looked at him properly, raised an eyebrow, and smiled, "I'm just asking you, what's the rush?"
He Xiao pursed his lips and frowned, wanting to say something but then shut his mouth, feeling frustrated.
I'm speechless. Jiang Yanxin is no good person. Now that she knows the Jiang family might be targeting them, she still goes along with them. What if something happens?
"You'd better not act alone," He Xiao said curtly, turning his eyes away.
Shen Linyue smiled, wanting to pat his head but restraining herself: "Okay, I know."
...
Life went smoothly and peacefully.
Without Jiang Zhixing interfering, He Xiao felt much more energetic, and the online attacks against Jiang Zhixing ended quickly, possibly due to manipulation by the Jiang family, as the post was locked.
All negative news about Jiang Zhixing disappeared without a trace.
The school acted even faster than when He Xiao was exposed for cheating on exam questions. Back then, He Xiao had to collect evidence privately and eventually clear his name.
The Jiang family completely disregarded other people's opinions and immediately covered their mouths.
"Should we continue posting?" Gu Yi'an asked He Xiao, telling him about the matter.
The boy leaned against the railing, letting the cold wind blow through his hair. He was wearing a blue-black winter windbreaker school uniform from Taipei High School, which made him look both handsome and wild, with an untamed air about him.
He turned around, glanced at Gu Yi'an's phone, and curled his lips: "Send it, let everyone know that the Jiang family is behind it all, and let Jiang Zhixing confirm this matter completely."
Jiang Zhixing is the kind of person who deserves to be disliked by everyone, but unfortunately there aren't that many people in Taipei.
"The boss is the best at finding solutions," Gu Yi'an replied with a grin. "But what if the Jiang family investigates?"
He Xiao's expression was indifferent as he glanced at him and said, "Do you think Jiang Yanxin would personally get involved in such a trivial matter?"
He's still waiting for Jiang Yanxin to have Jiang Zhixing apologize to him, haha.
Jiang Zhixing really enjoys playing this game.
For some unknown reason, He Xiao frowned, a hint of annoyance in his eyes.
Gu Yi'an didn't notice and was still happily asking how to write the content of the post.
Back in the classroom, the chill dissipated. He Xiao looked up and saw Shen Linyue's profile as she wrote diligently. He paused slightly, a glint of light flickering in his eyes. He stepped forward and pulled out a chair, making a very jarring sound.
He successfully attracted the girl's attention.
Shen Linyue looked at the boy with a very strong presence and asked with displeasure, "What is it?"
He Xiao sat down casually and started tilting the chair back and forth casually again.
Just as Shen Linyue thought he was acting crazy again, the boy said slowly.
"Didn't you want to know what Jiang Yanxin said to me in private back then?" He looked at her, his eyes indifferent and devoid of emotion.
Shen Linyue was slightly taken aback, not understanding why the young man wanted to speak again at this moment.
"Why are you telling me all this now?" she asked, pursing her lips.
He Xiao's gaze swept across her face, his fingers tapping the table lightly, before he looked away and said with a smirk, "Fine, don't listen if you don't want to."
Shen Linyue: "..."
She wouldn't let this opportunity slip by.
"Go ahead and tell me, I'm listening." She grabbed the boy's arm and looked at him seriously: "What did Jiang Yanxin say to you back then? Why did you and Jiang Zhixing have such a deep grudge?"
He Xiao glanced at her, somewhat speechless: "You have quite a lot of questions."
He recalled the meaning behind what he had gotten out of Jiang Zhixing last time, and then said calmly, "After my mother left, Jiang Yanxin always came to my house and tried to get close to me, whether intentionally or unintentionally. To be honest, I don't like her very much. I always feel suffocated when I'm around her."
“Jiang Zhixing is the same. He’s been like an emotionless robot since he was a child…” He paused and didn’t continue, then steered the conversation back to Jiang Yanxin: “Back then, I overheard Jiang Yanxin asking the housekeeper to drug Lao He. I was naive back then and thought Lao He was unwell, so I asked Jiang Yanxin what kind of medicine she was going to give him.”
He chuckled as he said this, perhaps thinking he was a fool back then.
"Do you know what Jiang Yanxin said to me that time?" He Xiao looked at Shen Linyue, not missing the suppressed laughter in her eyes, and said calmly after a moment of surprise, "If you dare to laugh out loud, I won't say anything."
Shen Linyue: "..."
Suppressing laughter is a very serious matter; even if you think of countless sad things, you might not be able to suppress a laugh.
"Cough, let's continue." Shen Linyue forcibly changed the subject: "Jiang Yanxin can't possibly use your hands to give He Liyu the medicine, can she?"
"Yes, that's what she was planning." He Xiao sneered, "But I wasn't stupid enough to give the medicine to Lao He, because she said that as long as Lao He took the medicine, she could become my mother, haha."
