Chapter 28: Not Knowing the Highness of Heaven and the Thickness of Earth
Jiang Zhiyue felt very unlucky. Why was it so easy to meet the people she didn't want to meet?
She lowered her head, pretending not to hear, and took a few steps back inconspicuously.
"Are you in such a hurry to leave?" Chu Junyue asked in a light tone. From his perspective, he saw the girl with her head lowered, her long eyelashes trembling slightly, like two small fans.
"You look so humble and submissive, unlike the confident and flamboyant you are on stage."
To be fair, Jiang Zhiyue is beautiful, otherwise he wouldn't have had the sudden decision to stay and take a few more glances at her yesterday.
However, Chu Junyue has seen many women like this. They seem pure and harmless, but in fact they are very cunning.
Chu Junche's interest in her was obvious.
"Don't you think your performance is too poor?" the man commented mercilessly, "Girls with deep scheming are always able to disguise themselves very well. They seem to have no desires, but they actually want the most."
"Someone used this move on Chu Junche a few years ago, and the acting was much better than yours."
"......"
What? Jiang Zhiyue finally reacted and raised her head in disbelief. Chu Junyue had the calm demeanor of a superior, as if he had seen through everything. What was confusing was that no one knew how he came to this conclusion.
"Isn't it? As a maid of the Gu family, if I hadn't tried my best to hide my ambitions and seize every opportunity to climb up, how could I be here, and how could I have the opportunity to meet my brother."
"Isn't it funny to see my brother defend you so much on the fencing field?"
His words were harsh, but whether the conclusions were reasonable or not was not something he considered.
Arrogant and conceited people are only willing to believe the facts that they themselves believe.
The man leaned back on the sofa, his condescending look carrying an absolute sense of oppression.
"Mr. Chu, I don't understand what you are saying." Jiang Zhiyue felt that he was unreasonable. In the original text, after Chu Junyue turned against everyone, he went straight from the white world to the black world, and got the support of the gang leaders of the three states. His methods were ruthless and his actions were cruel.
Those who were targeted by him never had a good end. The "she" in the book endured tremendous physical and mental torture and was on the verge of death several times before she received a relatively gentle look from the man.
That "her" fate is not in her own hands. She is like a puppet being manipulated without freedom, and is forced to be involved in their disputes.
Jiang Zhiyue hated this, especially the inexplicable anger.
If...she became a "scheming woman" in Chu Junyue's eyes, making him completely disgusted with her after this conversation, and causing Chu Junche to stay away from her, then she felt that she could tolerate it.
"But I know that the young master who is high up and full of superiority will certainly not understand how people like us feel when we live in this world cautiously. There is nothing wrong with ambition. We should strive for any opportunity first."
"If you think I have an ulterior motive and am deliberately trying to get close to the rich and powerful just because Master Che said a few words to me, then you can think so. Is it wrong to change your destiny with your beauty?"
"Instead of pointing fingers at me here, you should go home and warn Master Che to recognize the true face of someone like me as soon as possible and stay away from me."
What these rich kids who grew up with a silver spoon in their mouth hate the most is women who are scheming, have bad intentions, and pretend to be pure and harmless. She has accurately stepped on his sore spot.
Sure enough, the coldness in Chu Junyue's eyes became even stronger.
His eyes were fixed on Jiang Zhiyue, as if he wanted to see through her.
Anyone could see that he was unhappy.
Jiang Zhiyue nodded slightly at him, then turned and left.
When Professor Zhang returned to his office after class, he felt strange. "Hey, what time is it? Zhiyue hasn't come yet? Didn't I tell her to wait for me in the office?"
Chu Junyue was half leaning on the sofa, holding a freshly lit cigarette between his fingertips. The smoke filled his tough face, and his pair of eyes, as sharp as an eagle, flashed with a fierce light.
"Why are you still here?" Professor Zhang spoke slowly, walked slowly, and frowned when he smelled the smoke in the room.
"Didn't you ask me to wait here, Professor?" Chu Junyue looked up with his long legs propped up, picked up the book at hand, and said in a somewhat indifferent voice, "About the special tax deduction."
"Look at my memory. I'm really old." Professor Zhang breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile, "In fact, the problem you encountered is similar to the one I taught in my last open class. Jiang Zhiyue even discussed it with me after class. Your technology company included a small amount of royalties. You used the tax-paid price that was not included as the tax base, and opened a list to the relevant departments. This money was offset against your seized assets."
"This may not work, but you can try it. It can also serve as a warning to the mastermind behind this."
Chu Junyue's eyes changed slightly when he heard this, and he deepened his gaze, "...Jiang Zhiyue? Was this her idea?"
Professor Zhang nodded. "Yes, she is a student with great potential. I am very optimistic about her and would like to introduce her to you."
"That girl is very smart, and she is strong-willed and never admits defeat. She doesn't look like a caregiver's daughter at all."
"I'm really unwilling to admit defeat." Chu Junyue turned his head slightly, raised his eyelids, and then covered the depth of his eyes, "You still don't know how high the sky is and how deep the earth is."
.....
By the weekend, Jiang Zhiyue knew something was going to happen. Sure enough, Mrs. Gu saw Wharton's post and asked the housekeeper to call her to the main building.
Mrs. Gu put down the tablet, looked at the simple clothes on the girl, and a hint of imperceptible satisfaction flashed in her eyes. She said, "Zhiyue, you haven't been doing well in school recently, have you? Why haven't I heard you say anything? Girls nowadays are really jealous. Zhiyue, you are so outstanding, it is inevitable that you will be criticized."
"I understand everything. That girl from the Xia family is really... it's fate that we can be classmates. It's fine if we don't get along well, but she actually wants to kick you out of the public school."
"The old lady actually likes her and Zhaoye. Now that I think about it, they are indeed from a small family and cannot be on the stage."
So what if she is the daughter of a tycoon? She is not even worth a fraction of Gu Real Estate.
Mrs. Gu looked down on them in her heart, and she didn't know what old lady Gu was thinking. She was determined to bring them together. Now the high-definition video of Xia Liqing's apology was still hanging on the Internet. The old lady was so concerned about her reputation, so this matter would probably fail. This made Mrs. Gu feel a little relieved.
"This photo is an accident, right?" she asked gently, her slender fingertips tapping the tablet - on it was a photo of Gu Zhaoye holding Jiang Zhiyue!
