Chapter 44 The boy who was brutally abused in every way...
finally.
The boy, who had been thoroughly humiliated in every way, sat down on the ground in anger: "I'm not playing with you anymore."
Jiang Miaomiao lifted the net and walked over, gently hooking his bent knee with her foot: "You think losing the game means losing your entire character?"
Jiang Jiezhi threw down his racket and started tantrums: "Are you cheating? How come I lose to you in school, and I even lose to you in tennis?"
“You haven’t been paying attention in your studies, and your playing style looks like you’re just practicing haphazardly. If you could win, wouldn’t I be living a few years longer than you for nothing?” Her tone was unusually coaxing. “But at least you have one redeeming quality: you’re willing to admit you’re not as good as others. Keep up the good work.”
"This is considered an advantage?" Jiang Jiezhi was shocked.
He quickly pulled out his phone, pressed record, and then held it out to her, saying, "Say it again! Otherwise I'll think you have a hearing problem."
Jiang Miaomiao nearly smashed the racket in her hand.
She went down to get a drink of water.
Jiang Si gave a thumbs up. Seeing this, Yan Sansui insisted on giving two!
Then, taking advantage of Jiang Jiezhi's still-recovering energy after being humiliated, Jiang Si quickly took the racket and went on the court to humiliate him again.
What is the most obvious characteristic of women of the Jiang family?
Holding a grudge!
Yan Yousui said with lingering fear, "...Then should I be careful not to offend you?"
Jiang Miaomiao, sitting next to her, tilted her head and glanced at her: "To be on the safe side, let's just never see each other again?"
Yan Yousui sighed, "That won't do!" Then she obediently handed over a towel and salt water. A few drops of sweat happened to slide down his forehead, his cheeks flushed from the heat, his good skin was almost flawless and alluring.
The sky was a deep, clear blue, and the sun shone brightly.
Some people were running around on the field, while others sat quietly, but everyone was in an exceptionally good mood.
...
A group of young people entered the stadium, and one of them unexpectedly spotted Jiang Jiezhi being chased around the field.
"Hey, isn't that Jiang Jiezhi?"
"It really is him! What bad luck, why do I keep running into him here? Let's go, let's find another place!"
"Why change the venue? This isn't a school, why are we afraid of him? Let's just teach him a lesson."
They were all alumni of Jiang Jiezhi's school. Although they were not in the same class, they colluded and considered themselves to be of the same ilk, but Jiang Jiezhi disdained to associate with them.
The two groups originally kept to themselves, but Jiang Jiezhi had more money and good looks, so even though they were both bad students, Jiang Jiezhi was able to receive the favor and tolerance of teachers and students, which made them resentful.
"Oh dear, I thought it was someone else! It's just Young Master Jiang. What bad luck!"
"Today's outing was indeed unlucky; I actually ran into Jiang, the worst student!"
"You're here playing ball with the girls? We can handle this kind of thing. Are your skinny arms and legs even enough?"
This group deliberately blocked Jiang Jiezhi's path as he chased the ball, making all sorts of sarcastic remarks and even physically assaulting him, which greatly annoyed Jiang Jiezhi.
But his conscience wasn't completely dead. Seeing that Jiang Si was almost pushed by mistake, he immediately defended her: "What you say is one thing! Why are you touching a woman like that?"
"I didn't do it on purpose!"
"Miss, please go away. This is a matter between us and him, and we don't want to hurt anyone else."
"Jiang Jiezhi, let's talk somewhere else. Don't use women as a shield!"
...
"Jiang Miaomiao, are you dead? Can't you see we're being bullied?" After a while, Jiang Jiezhi, who was both protecting Jiang Si and busy arguing and cursing, finally asked for help from the sidelines.
"They've only held on for less than ten minutes and they're already sending out SOS signals?" Jiang Miaomiao was sipping her milk tea and watching the show when she heard the commotion. She had no choice but to get up and, while doing so, pushed Yan Yousui, who had also gotten up, back to her seat. "...A doctor's hands are very precious. I can handle it."
“There’s no reason for me, a grown man, to be watching over you,” Yan Yousui said, trying to stand up.
He may have a mild temper, but that doesn't mean he's weak.
The two walked over side by side, and suddenly the number of people changed from two to six to two to four.
These troublemakers were a little nervous, but they thought, "How could these skinny guys be that tough?" So they became a bit more assertive.
Children's thoughts are easy to guess; Jiang Miaomiao saw right through their lack of confidence. She smiled and said, "You've been talking for so long, can't you just start fighting already? All this chattering, like playing house, is that fun?"
Jiang Jiezhi gritted his teeth: "Do you have no humanity at all? If a fight really breaks out, I'll be the one getting ganged up on!"
Jiang Miaomiao hesitated for a moment, then tentatively said, "A group fight? Aren't you guys fighting one-on-one? I just heard them tell the young lady to leave. This kind of 'don't harm family and children' talk clearly shows they understand the rules of the underworld! It doesn't seem like they're bullying the few because they outnumber each other. Classmates, don't you think so?"
Six-Troublemaker immediately replied hastily, "Of course! Sister, you're right, we follow the rules."
“It is definitely not in accordance with the code of the martial arts world to have the majority of people bully the minority.”
Upon hearing this, Jiang Si quickly pried open Jiang Jiezhi's tightly gripped hand, fearing that she might be implicated.
Jiang Jiezhi's pupils widened in shock! Heartless! He had just been protecting her!
Jiang Miaomiao quickly pulled Yan Yousui, who was trying to mediate and make peace, away and urged, "If you're going to fight, then fight! We still need to eat after we're done! But it's better to meet by chance than to invite each other. How about you two join us? This pretty young lady is treating us."
She then gestured with her lips toward the charming and beautiful Jiang Si beside her.
Jiang Si smiled charmingly and captivatingly in response.
The boys were instantly smitten; it was hard for them not to be.
Only Jiang Jiezhi remained, as if abandoned by the whole world, stunned by the blow.
This is outrageous! Who in the world would encourage someone to beat up their own family member?!
"Then let's fight already." The boys just wanted to take a few more glances at the pretty girls; as for fighting, they decided against it—it wasn't appropriate to resort to violence in front of such a refined person. They pushed and shoved, shoving each other, and randomly pushed someone out to fight Jiang Jiezhi.
What else could Jiang Jiezhi do? He simply went all out and started throwing punches wildly.
With his thin arms and legs, he quickly got punched, but out of the corner of his eye, he saw Jiang Miaomiao take out her phone to record a video. She was muttering to herself, complaining that the fight was too fast and ugly, to the point that, "...the video on my phone is blurry."
Those around her gasped in shock; the focus of their attention was quite bizarre!
Suddenly, a pair of hands reached out from her shoulders. It was Yan Yousui, who loosely embraced her, his fingers covering the phone she was holding, instantly stabilizing the slightly shaky camera footage. At the same time, she felt warm breath on the back of her head, gently blowing with each breath.
She froze for a moment, then exclaimed, "Dr. Yan, is this indecent assault?"
Yan Yousui's voice was still soft, blank, silly, and somewhat drawn out: "I didn't run into you again."
Jiang Miaomiao frowned: "...Yan Sansui, you've changed. You've become greasy."
That's not a good word! He frowned, instinctively trying to pull his hand back, but was stopped.
Because Jiang Miaomiao had already handed the phone to him, saying, "I heard that doctors have very steady hands. Indeed, it's best to have you take the pictures!"
She ducked down half a body, slipping past Yan Yousui's restrained and polite embrace. Then, resting her chin on her hand, she squatted down and watched intently as Jiang Jiezhi, after two one-on-one matches, became the one who was constantly being beaten in the third match.
Yan Yousui snorted.
Jiang Miaomiao knew that he was a very shy and easily persuaded man.
Watching as Jiang Jiezhi was beaten, she kindly reiterated the rules: "In a one-on-one fight, you don't hit someone in the face! You can kill them, but you can't cripple them!"
"Ahhh! Shut up!" Those words ignited his anger and turned his grief into strength, causing him to beat the other person up as if they were Jiang Miaomiao.
In the fourth game, the defeat was reversed.
...
The melee lasted a full forty-five minutes.
Even the stadium security guards rushed over in three waves, but Jiang Si stopped them all.
Yan Yousui also recorded the phone's battery level dropping to 5%.
Jiang Miaomiao finally called a halt, clicking her tongue in disapproval: "This is such an ugly fight! Are young people these days so perfunctory when they fight?"
She slowly got up, walked over, and grabbed the two boys who were rolling on the ground, one in each hand.
With his face bruised and swollen, Jiang Jiezhi immediately slumped onto her arm, his expression one of despair: "...I swear, I never want to talk to you again."
"Don't swear halfway! The important thing is how terrible the consequences of breaking your oath will be!" she admonished, then called out, "Dr. Yan, could you please hand me your phone?"
Hmph! How dare they say he's greasy?
Yan Yousui also wanted to hold a grudge, but she obediently walked over.
Jiang Miaomiao asked him to replay the phone recording from earlier, and pointed to the first boy who had fought Jiang Jiezhi one-on-one: "...help me give a demonstration."
She reached out and grabbed the other man's right arm, wrapping it around his back: "You just grabbed Jiang Jiezhi's arm like this, and you had the upper hand at that moment, but you didn't take any further steps, which caused the waiting time to be too long, giving him the opportunity to kick your shin and escape."
"...And then?" The imprisoned boy was still bewildered. What did the young lady want to do?
"Review the reasons for your failure, find a way to break it, and be prepared for the next time." After saying this, Jiang Miaomiao suddenly struck the other person's back with her elbow while still holding her arm.
The boy groaned in pain as he was suddenly gripped tightly by a chokehold from below!
Jiang Miaomiao raised her leg and placed it on the man's shoulder. Suddenly, she spun around, braced herself with her arms on the ground, and kicked out with her other leg as fast as the wind... Her entire leg formed a perfect straight line, directly kicking the yellow-clothed boy in the chest, causing him to stagger backward and fall backward in pain!
Jiang Miaomiao paused for three seconds.
Looking around at everyone, she found that the troublemakers were so engrossed in her demonstration that they had forgotten what she was doing and hadn't reacted yet. So she quickly took the opportunity to finish off the remaining two.
Taking advantage of the moment, Jiang Si went to help Jiang Jiezhi, covered his mouth as he spat, and coaxed him, "Alright, isn't your sister secretly helping you get revenge?"
Jiang Jiezhi was deeply suspicious: "She's helping me get revenge? Is she really that kind?"
Jiang Si pondered: "Uh, she's a bit ruthless. But she's protective of her own and acts without distinguishing right from wrong, only based on whether the relationship is good or bad."
Jiang Jiezhi retorted stubbornly, "Then who isn't Old Jiang's son, me or her? Otherwise, how could she have the nerve to try to kill me time and time again?"
The troublemakers had been beaten to a pulp, but like masochists, they all clung to Jiang Miaomiao with starry eyes, suddenly clamoring to become her their leader or mentor.
Seeing this, Jiang Jiezhi, fearing Jiang Miaomiao would be snatched away, also joined the fray. Even if she's ruthless, she's still his!
Jiang Miaomiao pushed them away one by one with obvious disgust.
Unexpectedly, they clung to me like drooling dogs until I was forced to sit on the "big sister's" seat.
Jiang Si watched with a smile, and for a moment she was reminded of the scene: young people are so easy to fool and coax, just like she was back then.
A hint of malice flashed in her eyes, but it vanished immediately, and she returned to her gentle and charming demeanor. Then, clutching her rumbling stomach, she clapped her hands, indicating that everyone should go to the restaurant next door.
Thanks to my niece's care the other day, she's got plenty of money, so treating everyone to a bowl of bird's nest and shark fin soup is no problem for her.
...
After eating and drinking their fill, everyone went home to their own mothers.
But Yan Sansui, who had been looking preoccupied ever since leaving the stadium, suddenly grabbed Jiang Miaomiao and whispered, "Can I talk to you about something alone?"
Jiang Miaomiao then told Jiang Si and Jiang Jiezhi to go ahead a few steps.
She turned around and asked suspiciously, "What is it?"
"Huh?" Jiang Miaomiao's eyes widened suddenly. She remained unresponsive for about thirty seconds before finally asking in astonishment, "What do you want to do?"
"Uh, well, that..." he replied cautiously, "I strongly insist on skipping the confession step! You just said I was greasy, I have no choice."
"!!!" Jiang Miaomiao held back for a moment, then looked at him with even greater surprise: "When are you going to confess? I don't feel anything at all!"
Yan Yousui wrinkled her nose and said, each word tinged with grievance, "Just now, that greasy hug..."
Jiang Miaomiao said with a smile, "Dr. Yan, today is not April Fool's Day."
Jiang Miaomiao's smile froze slightly, and she couldn't help but look Yan Yousui up and down. He was indeed someone who couldn't be refused.
But then she had a wicked thought: she just wanted to see how he would react after being rejected.
So, she couldn't help but laugh out loud, which made Yan Yousui even more uneasy.
"Dr. Yan, dating and marriage are two different things. Do you want to date me, or do you want to marry me?"
"I want both fish and bear's paw."
"But my career is my priority right now."
"Does that mean I, as a doctor, would dare not prioritize my career?"
“I refuse to have long phone conversations every night, I don’t reply to WeChat messages immediately, I don’t act cute, I don’t wear skirts, and so on.”
"I don't have time to chat on the phone every night, I don't reply to WeChat messages immediately, I don't eat strawberry butts, I don't wear tight beach shorts, etc."
"Hey, are we having a Platonic relationship?" Jiang Miaomiao tried to dig a hole for us.
Whether Yan Yousui was genuinely foolish or feigning ignorance, she smiled and said, "You can go get your marriage certificate on Monday if you want."
"...Never mind." Be careful, he takes every joke seriously.
Yan Yousui pressed, “‘Forget it’? What do you mean? It can’t be forgotten!” He frowned and glared at her.
Jiang Miaomiao's face showed a calculating expression: "Yan San Sui..."
"I don't want to hear a rejection."
"I didn't refuse. Let's follow the conventional rules: pursuing, confessing, dating, getting engaged, and getting married—we can't skip any of the steps."
So, which stage are we in now?
Yan Yousui shook her head and said firmly, "It was clearly a smooth and natural process."
Jiang Miaomiao snorted.
"Dr. Yan, who has absolutely no experience in dating, how dare you say 'it was clearly a natural and smooth process'?"
That evening, several people gathered at Jiang Si's house.
A large, single-story house facing south.
Jiang Si held the remote control and pointed it at Yan Yousui, who was sitting obediently on the sofa. Her gaze then shifted to Jiang Jiezhi, who was rubbing his bottom against the sofa as if it were burning him. She said with disdain, "Dr. Yan is asking for advice on dating, and what are you, a minor, trying to do?"
"Don't you know that early dating is common among minors?" Jiang Jiezhi immediately crossed his arms and sat back down steadily, showing his unwavering commitment.
Jiang Miaomiao sipped her soy milk and stood firmly behind the sofa where the two of them were sitting.
She didn't understand why they suddenly grabbed Jiang Si and made her their relationship mentor.
Jiang Si, unaware that her background had been discovered by her juniors, continued, "Getting back to the point, in order for Yan Yousui and Jiang Jiezhi to successfully pursue the girls they like, I have already devised a pursuit plan for you, called 'Whether you are rich or poor, you must find a wife for the New Year'."
Jiang Miaomiao: What the hell?
Snap!
A projected image appeared behind Jiang Si, introducing the host:
Yan Yousui, male, 27 years old, doctor, appearance: 8/10, physique: 9/10, personality: 7.5/10 (doesn't fit the current domineering CEO stereotype), wealth: 3.5/3, owns a house, a car, and other assets. Overall rating: Excellent.
Jiang Jiezhi, male, sixteen and a half years old, student, appearance 7/10, physique 8/10, personality 4/5 (IQ to be confirmed, EQ obviously below average), zero wealth, no house, no car, no assets, overall level is below average.
Secondly, the host target:
Yan Yousui → Jiang Miaomiao.
Jiang Jiezhi → Ren Sha.
Finally, there are various pictures:
Roses, rings, plush toys, snacks, swimming pools, property deeds, luxury cars, etc.
Jiang Si said, "To win a girl's heart, you have to cater to her tastes. The depth of your feelings depends on how much money you throw at her! Even if there are rivals, you can still pry open a hoe with pure gold and diamonds!"
One dared to speak out, and the other two dared to listen.
Jiang Si added, "Roses, unless the other person is allergic to flowers, a bouquet of ninety-nine every day, will either knock them out or suffocate them."
Yan Yousui turned to the person behind her, seeking confirmation: "Are you allergic to flowers?"
Jiang Miaomiao shook her head: "But I'm afraid the flowers will rot and smell bad after a few days."
Yan Yousui hummed in agreement and quickly crossed out the word "rose" that she had just written.
Jiang Jiezhi then awkwardly added in the notes: I have no money.
Jiang Si added, "For the ring, either buy a diamond ring or a Dior, because a man can only order one Dior ring in his lifetime."
Jiang Miaomiao, unable to bear it any longer, interjected: "Five thousand yuan can remove the record of a man purchasing a ring from Dior's official database!"
Jiang Si exclaimed, "Really?" Needless to say, she quickly scratched off the ring.
Jiang Si tried to save face: "Plushies. I guarantee all girls love these fluffy things."
The scene fell silent suddenly, and the atmosphere became slightly strange.
Jiang Si asked suspiciously, "What's with your reaction?"
Jiang Jiezhi timidly raised his hand: "Among the ten most bizarre cases in Hong Kong, the case of the corpse hidden in a doll is the most prominent."
"Hehe...hehehe..." Jiang Si chuckled dryly.
Jiang Jiezhi, not understanding what was going on, grinned foolishly at her: "Hehehe."
"Hehehe..." Coupled with Yan Yousui's incomprehensible forced smile.
Everyone looked at each other and laughed, making Jiang Miaomiao, who was sipping soy milk, feel incredibly embarrassed for them!
***
A few days later.
The matter of insurance for the Jiang family villa was finally brought up in a serious manner.
Unemployed Jiang Zhengye unusually got up early and urged everyone to gather in the living room.
Not only that, he also specially called someone from the insurance company to bring over the printed contract. Obviously, he wanted to get things done quickly today, fearing that if the insurance was delayed, someone else would be beaten into the hospital by Jiang Miaomiao, which would not only cripple people but also cost money.
Jiang Zhongming, Jiang Bainian, and Jiang Jiezhi, whose irregular schedules forced them to stay up late and get up early, were sprawled on the sofa in various positions. Only Jiang Miaomiao stood out, energetically picking up the insurance contract from the coffee table and quickly glancing at it.
The more I looked, the more I frowned, because all four men had purchased the maximum coverage for commercial insurance, Ping An Fu insurance, critical illness insurance, and death insurance, especially the death insurance! In contrast, I only had one critical illness insurance policy.
She complained, "Old Jiang, why do I only have one critical illness insurance policy?"
Jiang Zhengye replied confidently, "You're only capable of killing others; at most, others will cripple you, so there's no need to waste money."
