Jiang Yanxin returned to the infirmary in a rage and saw Jiang Zhixing sitting by the window, still engrossed in reading.
His palms were wrapped in gauze, and there were bruises at the corners of his eyes. Thinking of He Xiao and that girl surnamed Lin's aggressive behavior, his anger surged.
"What's going on between you and He Xiao? Why did you join the basketball team?" Jiang Yanxin questioned, her voice somewhat sharp.
Jiang Zhixing paused slightly as he read, then looked up at his mother, who was in a state of emotional turmoil, with a bewildered expression.
"I...I just wanted to upset him." He pursed his lips before explaining in a low voice, "At the last banquet, He Xiao embarrassed you in front of so many elders, so I wanted to get revenge on him. I'm sorry, Mom."
Although He Xiao's father apologized to his mother after that incident, He Xiao himself continued to do as he pleased without any scruples. In addition, the two had a grudge against each other, which is why Jiang Zhixing chose to appear at his birthday party yesterday.
The original intention was to cause trouble and provoke He Xiao's emotions, but the plan was interrupted by a girl who suddenly appeared.
That's why he used the same trick again today, and he succeeded. But now the result seems to be different from what he expected.
The bright and beautiful face of that girl from last night flooded his mind. He looked at his still angry mother and seemed to understand something.
Did Mom see that girl too?
After listening to Jiang Zhixing's explanation, Jiang Yanxin's anger subsided considerably, but this was the first time she had ever been humiliated, and the resentment remained buried in her heart.
"Yes, she's He Xiao's aunt." Her expression was irritated as she glanced at Jiang Zhixing's hand and asked, "Does she need to go to the hospital? Will her hand affect her studying for the exam?"
She wanted to have someone investigate this girl. This Lin Yue definitely didn't appear out of thin air, especially since she looked so much like her old friend.
Jiang Yan was preoccupied with her own thoughts and didn't notice Jiang Zhixing's slightly forlorn expression. She only heard him refuse, "No need, Mom. You should go back first. I have to go to my evening class later."
Hearing Jiang Zhixing say this, Jiang Yanxin had no intention of lingering any longer, and before leaving, she did not forget to give him some instructions.
"Don't do anything so stupid again that will give others a handle to use against you. You are my son, Jiang Yanxin's son, the future heir to the Jiang Group. Someone like He Xiao will only be abandoned by the He Group. What does he have to compare with you?"
She said earnestly, "Xiaoxing, all you need to do is study hard, get into a good university, and come back to inherit the family business."
Jiang Zhixing's eyebrows twitched slightly, his hand gripping the book tightened and then relaxed, and he slowly nodded: "I understand, Mother."
Jiang Yanxin didn't know if he had listened to her, and she didn't linger in the infirmary. She walked away while making a phone call, leaving Jiang Zhixing alone, watching her retreating figure, his mind filled with complicated thoughts.
...
Shen Linyue strolled around Taipei High School and had to admit that the school's green spaces were far superior to many scenic spots, making it incredibly beautiful and spectacular.
She didn't have a camera, otherwise she would have liked to take some pictures to remember the occasion.
Shen Linyue strolled around until the bell rang before slowly making her way to the school gate. As she approached the gate, she saw a large crowd of people, most of whom were chatting and laughing in groups. Her appearance went unnoticed until a tall, slender figure appeared behind her and patted her on the shoulder.
He Xiao's flamboyant, dazzling, and alluring face came into view.
"What are you looking at so intently?"
Before Shen Linyue could even blink and say anything, He Xiao grabbed her arm and dragged her toward the school gate.
"Let's go. Do you want to stand there and be made a fool of?"
Shen Linyue then noticed that in just a short while, quite a few girls had been curiously looking in their direction.
"Do you want to go back now? Let me take care of the cut on your lip."
He Xiao didn't rush to answer. His motorcycle was parked not far away. He walked over to the motorcycle and threw the helmet to her.
"Have you forgotten what happened yesterday?" When He Xiao wasn't smiling, his dark eyes were very imposing and fierce.
However, Shen Linyue treated him like a child and was completely immune to his gaze.
She thought for a moment and then suddenly realized, her big eyes instantly lighting up: "You promised to buy me a phone! Let's go!"
He Xiao's expression softened a little, but he still didn't smile. He looked down at her and uttered a few words.
"Get on board, you're promising."
The sudden roar of the motorcycle attracted the attention of many people. Through the helmet, Shen Linyue seemed to see someone holding a mobile phone, seemingly filming them.
She wanted to remind He Xiao, but then she remembered his impulsive personality and kept quiet.
Finally, He Xiao bought her a new phone at the mall that was the same model as his, and then took her to the mall to buy a bunch of clothes from head to toe.
This was the first boy besides her father to spend money on her, and Shen Linyue was so touched that she showered He Xiao with compliments.
"Ah Xiao, you're so good to me! You didn't spend all your allowance on me, did you? I love you so much, my dear nephew!"
No wonder he's her son! I absolutely adore him!
The girl looked at him with her big, watery eyes filled with admiration, and He Xiao was bursting with confidence at that moment, yet he was also eager to hide it.
"Tch, this little bit of money is nothing to me, what's there to be moved about? Don't embarrass me when you go out in the future, or I won't recognize you." The boy's arrogant attitude came back.
This time, Shen Linyue didn't argue with him; she just smiled and looked at him.
"Don't worry, I definitely won't. I will try my best to accept everything in this world and never let you down."
He Xiao: ? ? ?
What is that?
His gaze at Shen Linyue was complicated. Why was this child talking nonsense every day? Was there something wrong with her mind?
"I'm going back." The boy put his hands in his pockets and turned to leave.
Items purchased for Shen Linyue will be delivered to her door once they reach a certain amount. Besides, this huge shopping mall is under the He Group, so the service is definitely top-notch.
Shen Linyue was still fiddling with her new phone, her excitement evident in her eyes.
She can study it slowly when she gets back! If she doesn't understand something, she can ask her eldest son, hehe.
...
Inside the top-floor office of a building in downtown Nanshi.
Assistant Ye respectfully placed a stack of photos on the desk. "Boss, Butler Xiao just called again and said that the young master got into a fight with a classmate at school and even got into a physical altercation. The other party is the young master of the Jiang Group."
The man didn't look up, his voice cold and distant: "Is the matter resolved? What conditions did the other side offer this time?"
"The matter is resolved. The other party didn't set any conditions; they just wanted to come and apologize to you in person." Assistant Ye was somewhat at a loss for words.
Who would have thought that the young lady surnamed Lin would be so resourceful and insightful, able to clear the young master's name?
"Hmm?" The sound of turning over documents disappeared, and the man raised his head, revealing a handsome and outstanding face. His features were extremely well-formed, with a straight nose and deep phoenix eyes. He had a calm and reserved temperament, and he wore a dark suit with the top button tightly fastened. His whole person exuded a sense of restraint and nobility.
Upon closer inspection, he bears a five or six-point resemblance to He Xiao.
