Chapter 59 Do you want to have a puppy love with me?
Upon learning of this, Jiang Yunzhao was so angry that he immediately went to Xun Ning to settle accounts with these brats.
"I'm coming right now to make those brats, their parents, and the school apologize to your mother!"
Jiang Yunzhao has devoted himself to managing the Jiang Group all these years for Su Yinian and Jiang Sui. Now that his wife has been bullied like this, how could he not be angry?
"Don't involve the school yet," Jiang Sui quickly stopped her. "If this gets through to the school, everyone will know about Mom's relationship with us. Then Mom will definitely..."
Although it was hurtful, Jiang Sui still forced herself to continue, saying, "Mom will definitely be unhappy."
Jiang Yunzhao paused as he reached for his car keys.
He knew that what Jiang Sui said was true.
Acting rashly would completely disrupt Su Yinian's peaceful life.
Jiang Yunzhao reassured Jiang Sui, "Don't worry, Dad will handle this matter well and it will definitely not affect Mom."
"So what do you plan to do?"
Jiang Yunzhao's idea coincided with Ji Jingyu's.
A cold voice reached Jiang Sui's ears, "Press down the one who's shouting the loudest, and the rest will naturally behave themselves."
After ending their call with Jiang Yunzhao, Jiang Sui and Ji Jingyu were about to return to the classroom when they saw Wen Jinxu, Zhang Yang, and a girl in another corner.
Jiang Sui also knows this girl.
It was Shen Le, the sports committee member of Class 4.
"What a small world!"
Jiang Sui muttered something under her breath, and suddenly stopped being in a hurry to go back.
The other party was acting like villains were meeting up; she wanted to see what they were up to.
Ji Jingyu naturally did not object, and stood quietly and calmly behind Jiang Sui.
Zhang Yang's smug smile hadn't faded yet when he said, "Brother Jin, the grade group has already spoken to Su Yinian. I reckon it won't be long before she's out of there. Let's see how she can still favor Ji Jingyu and the others after that!"
This wave of protests came on strong, and Zhang Yang didn't believe the school would continue to protect Su Yinian despite their wishes.
But Wen Jinxu had no intention of praising him at all. Upon hearing Ji Jingyu's name, his tone became extremely impatient, "Zhang Yang, let me make this clear: if you mess this up again, I will definitely not be polite to you!"
"Don't worry, Brother Jin, there won't be any problems. If the school continues to protect Su Yinian, I'll have my mom report it to the Education Bureau."
Zhang Yang's expression stiffened. He knew that Wen Jinxu was warning him that the basketball game incident was not over. If he couldn't get rid of Su Yinian, he would settle all the old and new scores with him.
Shen Le chimed in, "That's right, I'll have my parents file a complaint with us too."
The feeling of hearing something from someone else is always different from hearing it with your own ears.
Hearing the other person maliciously plotting how to frame her mother, Jiang Sui clenched her fists in anger, her fingertips inevitably digging into her palms...
The next second, her wrist was gripped lightly.
It was both a reminder to Jiang Sui not to act impulsively and a silent reassurance.
Ji Jingyu's movements were very restrained and gentle.
He barely touched it before retreating back to the safety line he had drawn for himself.
A slightly cool breeze gently brushed against Jiang Sui's wrist, making the lingering heat on her fair skin even more difficult to ignore.
Jiang Sui awkwardly curled her slender white fingers, her heartbeat suddenly becoming erratic.
Ji Jingyu looked at Jiang Sui, his voice deliberately lowered and gentle, with an almost imperceptible coaxing tone, "Didn't we agree that Uncle Jiang would handle everything?"
"I just feel sorry for my mother."
Jiang Sui lowered her head, looking at her wrist. Her tone was still unhappy, but she was no longer as angry as before.
Just as Ji Jingyu was about to speak, a girl strode briskly toward the direction where they were standing.
It was another acquaintance.
Jiang Sui was neither noble nor selfless.
She came to Xunning to be with her mother, but there are always people trying to take Su Yinian away from her.
For quite some time, Jiang Sui was bothered by her existence.
Because the other party occupied too much of Su Yinian's energy.
This girl's target is not Jiang Sui or Ji Jingyu.
"Are you guys behind this?"
Although her tone was seemingly questioning, she seemed to have already concluded that it was Wen Jinxu who was up to no good.
"Yi Shan?" After recognizing who it was, Zhang Yang's expression changed from timid to fierce. "I advise you not to meddle in other people's business. You'd be better off reading a book so you don't have to repeat a grade again."
Although Jiang Sui had taken physical education classes with Yi Shan, he never spoke to her because of a lingering resentment.
Jiang Sui had always thought that Yi Shan, who had threatened to drop out of school, was a fragile girl who was easily broken down. She never expected that Yi Shan would be such a passionate and bold person.
"Zhang Yang, who do you think you are? You think you can just ignore it like that?!"
As she spoke, Yi Shan glanced at him contemptuously and sneered, "You're a man, after all. You're always following Wen Jinxu around like a dog. Aren't you ashamed?"
Although Yi Shan had just joined Class 4 this semester, Zhang Yang's daily behavior practically screamed "I'm Wen Jinxu's dog," making it hard for her not to know.
Zhang Yang looked as if someone had stepped on his tail; his face turned red and then blue, his facial muscles contorting unnaturally, and a fierce glint flashed in his eyes. "Yi Shan, I think you've had enough of a good life!"
"Heh, you're threatening me?" Yi Shan wasn't intimidated at all, staring straight at the other party. "Those with nothing to lose aren't afraid of those wearing shoes. If you dare to use those disgusting and despicable tricks on me and make things difficult for me, then you won't have an easy time either."
Evil people are afraid of those who are even more ruthless than themselves.
With Yi Shan adopting such a strong attitude, Wen Jinxu and Zhang Yang found it difficult to do anything to her for the time being.
Wen Jinxu tried to reason with her, "Yi Shan, after Su Yinian leaves, the school will definitely find a more capable teacher to teach our Class 4, which will also benefit you."
But Yi Shan wasn't buying it at all, and sneered, "I think it's not important to you whether you're outstanding or not. You just want to find a teacher who's willing to flatter and fawn over you all day long. After all, Su Yinian treats all students equally and is fair in his rewards and punishments."
Shen Le, who had been playing a background role, suddenly spoke up: "Yi Shan, Su Yinian leaving is good for everyone. Don't be ungrateful."
“Chen Le, don’t think I won’t scold you just because you’re a girl. You can’t be so heartless. When you failed your exam and your dad scolded you, it was Teacher Su who comforted you and analyzed the test paper for you. She even took time out of her weekend to visit your home.”
Yi Shan and Shen Le lived in the same neighborhood. If she hadn't run into Su Yinian downstairs by chance, she wouldn't have known about this.
Do you know why Roach always targets our class?
Shen Le's tone suddenly became agitated. As the sports committee member, she had the most contact with Luo Qi and naturally received the most scolding. "Su Yinian and Luo Qi went on a blind date before. I guess she did something to offend Luo Qi, and he wanted to take revenge on her. We were all implicated by Su Yinian."
"An estimate?" Yi Shan frowned. "Shen Le, do you have any evidence for that?"
"……No."
"Shen Le, are you out of your mind? You just spout nonsense without any evidence. This is spreading rumors. And since Luo Qi is the one with the problem, you should file a complaint against him. Why are you pushing all the blame onto Teacher Su? Forget it, I'm not going to waste my breath on you guys. I'm going to the grade group right now and tell them that Teacher Su is fine and has no problems at all."
Watching Yi Shan's hurried departure, Jiang Sui smiled and said, "It seems my mother's efforts weren't all for nothing. Yi Shan is actually quite alright."
—
the next day.
"Guess who I saw?" Yu Xiaocheng ran back to the classroom with a gossipy look on her face, clutching her water bottle.
Xia Fan asked her, "Who did you see?"
Yu Xiaocheng placed the water glass on the table, her tone surprised and doubtful, "Wen Jinxu, that deputy mayor's father."
Jiang Sui paused in her work.
When she checked her phone, Jiang Yunzhao had indeed sent her a message saying that the matter had been resolved smoothly and that she shouldn't worry.
What is he doing at the school?
Xia Fan immediately stood up from her seat. She had no interest in Wen Jinxu or his father, who was the deputy mayor. What she was worried about was Su Yinian.
Why are the parents coming to the school?
It doesn't look like a good thing at all.
Yu Xiaocheng shook her head, "Then I don't know."
At this moment, Jiang Deyu rushed in from outside, still out of breath, "I just saw Teacher Su go to the grade group with a man and Wen Jinxu."
"Did they go to the grade level group together?"
"Hmm, I'm afraid they're up to no good. Could it be that Wen Jinxu has asked his father to deal with Teacher Su?" Jiang Deyu looked at Jiang Sui with concern. "Jiang Sui, has Teacher Su told you anything at home?"
Jiang Sui met Ji Jingyu's gaze and slowly winked at him.
She then said, "It's nothing. It's probably because Ms. Su is an excellent teacher, and the other parents came to the school specifically to thank her."
These words did not reassure Jiang Deyu. He looked distressed and said, "...Are you being sarcastic?"
Jiang Sui was speechless: "Do you think Teacher Su is a bad teacher?"
Jiang Deyu waved his hands repeatedly, "Of course not!"
Jiang Sui stopped teasing her and said seriously, "Don't worry, it's really nothing. If something were really wrong, how could I still be sitting here?"
Seeing that Jiang Sui spoke with such certainty, Jiang Deyu and Xia Fan were finally relieved.
"It's a bit of a pity that we can't go back to the senior class to watch the fun."
Jiang Sui held the pen and tapped the tip of her pert little nose with the pen cap.
His tone was regretful, with a hint of mischievousness.
Ji Jingyu looked at her, a subtle smile playing on her lips.
—
Inside the grade-level office, the two grade-level directors looked at each other, completely bewildered by the situation.
The grade director spoke with Su Yinian yesterday because the students in Class 4 strongly demanded a change of homeroom teacher.
"Ms. Su, we know you are excellent, but if this matter really blows up, it will have a bad impact on both you and the school. My suggestion is that you have a good talk with the student who was in charge and clear up the misunderstanding."
Su Yinian smiled, but a sense of irritation rose in his heart. "Should I have a good talk, or should I humbly apologize to him and beg him to let me off the hook?"
The grade head took a deep breath. He hadn't expected that Su Yinian, who seemed so gentle, would speak so bluntly.
"Teacher Su, you can't say that..."
Su Yinian interrupted him: "Director, I will follow the school's arrangements."
The head of the grade understood what she meant.
She would respect and accept the school's decision to replace her, but she would absolutely not bow down to the students who led the trouble.
The grade head was so worried about this that he couldn't sleep all night.
He knew in his heart that Su Yinian had been wronged this time. Her excellence and hard work were obvious to everyone. It was just that the student who led the trouble was a special case, and the school could not ignore his opinion.
Therefore, the grade head had planned to find time today to discuss this matter with Lou Yongnian and the principal.
To everyone's surprise, Wen Jinxu's father actually came to the school in person.
"Teacher Su, we are so sorry." Mr. Wen apologized to Su Yinian repeatedly, his words sincere and his attitude humble. "We really made a mistake. This is a handwritten apology letter from all the parents to you. Please accept our apology and continue to serve as the homeroom teacher of Class 4."
Wen Jinxu stood to the side, dumbfounded.
His father had clearly promised him that he would definitely get rid of Su Yinian, so what's going on now?
"Dad, what are you doing?"
It would have been fine if Wen Jinxu hadn't spoken, but once he did, it seemed as if his father had finally remembered his existence.
He almost rudely lifted Wen Jinxu in front of Su Yinian, the force of which made Wen Jinxu cry out in pain.
But Mr. Wen ignored him and ordered, "Quickly apologize to Teacher Su and say that you will never dare to do it again and that you will listen to her from now on."
Wen Jinxu stared wide-eyed in disbelief, “Dad!”
The thought of the evidence the other party had collected sent chills down Wen's father's spine, and his tone grew increasingly urgent, "Apologize now!"
His roar finally startled the two grade directors who were stunned, and they stepped forward to ease the tension.
“Wen Jinxu’s father, calm down.”
"That's right, let's talk this out."
"Snap." Wen Jinxu's head suddenly turned to one side.
The grade level was thrown into chaos.
Apart from a few people directly involved, no one knows exactly what happened in the grade-level office.
But since then, Wen Jinxu has become unusually honest and silent.
—
With the final whistle, the Xunning No. 2 High School Senior Basketball Finals officially came to an end.
Class 2 ultimately lost to Class 10 by a margin of three points.
Class Two is very satisfied with this result.
Sun Hao patted each of the boys on the shoulder, his eyes filled with pride as he looked at them. "Two out of the five of you in Class 10 are members of the school basketball team. To be able to play against them like this, we are still honorable even though we lost. You all did a great job!"
Tong Xia pulled the towel over his head. "Brother Hao is right. If we really win, where will the basketball team put their face?"
"Hahaha……"
"That's right, getting second place is already excellent!" Jiang Deyu waved his hand. "We definitely need to celebrate properly."
"How will we celebrate?"
"I can't afford a fancy hotel, but I can definitely afford a small restaurant." Jiang Deyu rubbed his sweaty chin. "Let's eat out for dinner tonight!"
After saying that, he looked at Sun Hao with a grin and said, "Brother Hao, can you write us a few leave slips? We want to eat out today."
“Okay.” Most of the time, Sun Hao was easy to talk to. “But I have one condition: you must be back before evening self-study.”
Jiang Deyu gave him a playful salute, saying, "I guarantee I'll complete the mission."
"With Brother Ji watching over us, Brother Hao, you can rest assured."
—
After the old commercial street was relocated, only a few "holdouts" remained opposite the school.
One of the small restaurants is very popular among students because of its large portions, delicious food, and reasonable prices.
Because there were so many people, the proprietress specially set aside a small private room for them.
As Jiang Deyu looked at the menu, he reminisced about the past: "We used to sneak out of school often to come here for a better meal. The owner just asked me, 'Have you stopped coming lately?'"
Jiang Sui was watching Ji Jingyu scald her chopsticks when she heard Jiang Deyu say that. She subconsciously replied, "Yeah, why aren't you coming anymore? This is my first time eating here."
Jiang Deyu sighed, "It's because the school is too strict. Ever since they hired new security guards, I haven't been able to successfully 'escape' again."
Jiang Sui: "..."
I should have known better than to ask.
A soft laugh came from beside me.
Jiang Sui turned her head to look, only managing to catch a fleeting glimpse of the other person's lips curving into a smile.
What's so funny?
Jiang Sui secretly grumbled to herself, but the corners of her lips couldn't help but curve upwards as well.
This is a secret that belongs only to them.
In this small, noisy private room, only Ji Jingyu knew everything about her.
Jiang Sui was happy to share these little secrets with him.
As the class monitor, Yu Xiaocheng was the most well-informed. "I heard that a student in the second year of high school tried to climb over the wall to get out, and his butt was almost electrocuted."
"That bad?"
"Of course." Tong Xia took a sip of her carbonated drink. "People who don't know better would think our school is hiding some kind of treasure, that's why we're so strict."
"But to be fair, I used to always want to eat out because the cafeteria food was really weird, but since the beginning of this semester it has strangely become delicious."
“That’s right, and I think it tastes even better than my mom’s cooking. Now I get two meals every time I go to the cafeteria.”
"Could it be that another one of the principal's children is among this year's freshmen?"
"Nonsense, the principal only has one son, who just graduated two years ago."
"By the way, I heard that our school is going to build a new library and laboratory building, and construction will start during the winter break."
Tong Xia was taken aback at first, then muttered under her breath, "Damn it, by the time the library and lab building are finished, we'll have graduated long ago. Why am I always so unlucky?"
—
It was not even six o'clock, but the sky in Xunning had already darkened.
The stars are twinkling in the sky, indicating that tomorrow will be a sunny day.
As the autumn wind blew, the trees on both sides of the road rustled.
A thin layer of fallen leaves had already piled up in the corner of the sidewalk.
"Five minutes left, brothers, hurry up!"
"knew."
A group of well-fed teenagers walked towards the school gate, laughing and joking.
Yu Xiaocheng linked arms with Xia Fan, and the two of them tacitly went to catch up with the boys who were gradually walking away.
Jiang Sui suddenly stopped and looked up at Ji Jingyu.
The streetlight where they were standing happened to be broken.
It was as if I had entered another thick, gloomy space, and the surrounding environment suddenly became quiet and obscure.
Ji Jingyu looked at Jiang Sui and asked gently, "What's wrong?"
Jiang Sui and his gaze met in the air, as if something had been ignited, and in an instant, it became unstoppable.
She said, "Ji Jingyu, do you want to have a relationship with me?"
Jiang Sui had wanted to ask him this question for a long time.
From summer to autumn in Xunning.
The idea that suddenly popped into my head at the opening ceremony became more and more steadfast as we spent time together afterwards.
The question that Jiang Sui couldn't ask in the cramped corner of the used bookstore was finally asked by Jiang Sui at this moment.
