Chapter 417 Pious
.....
After returning home, Jiang Zhiyue devoted herself to preparing for the financial industry certificate exam.
She poured all her energy into her heavy workload. The atmosphere at Wharton College became particularly harmonious during this period, as each major was about to have its own major exams.
Occasionally, when the girls were chatting, they couldn't help but mention the grand fireworks.
To this day, no one knows who planned all this or for which girl it was carefully prepared. The brilliant fireworks and the starlight flying overhead lit up the entire state of Monte, amazed the slum children who had never seen such a beautiful sight, and lit up the light in everyone's eyes.
During the open class, Jiang Zhiyue was concentrating on writing the topic, completely unaware of the discussions outside, until after class, when she saw a photo on Zuo Qing's phone.
Zuo Qing excitedly shared with her that that night she had just finished her part-time job and was walking home alone.
In the narrow alleys, dilapidated houses are closely connected, and the sewers emit a bad smell. Zuo Qing is most afraid of walking on such nights, because she always accidentally steps into the sewage, and she also has to be wary of the gangsters lingering in the alleys.
There were no street lights on the dim road, and only her flashlight illuminated the road ahead.
But at that moment, when a loud noise came from the sky, she was not the only one who was attracted by the sudden sound. Almost all the residents of the slum ran out of their houses, and the children also lay on the broken windows, sticking their little heads out to look.
The light that slid across the sky passed over everyone's head like a meteor.
"The children said it was a meteor shower and couldn't wait to make a wish to the shooting stars, hoping that their dreams would come true."
Zuo Qing said: "I also silently made a wish, hoping that I can successfully enter Deli Group for internship next year. You know, Zhiyue? This is the first time I have seen fireworks in the slums."
Her eyes sparkled with unprecedented excitement. Jiang Zhiyue curved her beautiful eyes and said, "You took beautiful photos."
"I also secretly made a wish for you." Zuo Qing said very sincerely, "I hope you can also realize your wish. No matter what it is, I hope you can be happy."
Ever since Jiang Zhiyue's identity change was reported in the news, Zuo Qing was prepared to distance herself from her. In this institution, the nameplate worn by everyone determines everything.
Although what happened in the middle was quite dramatic, it is not difficult to understand why Jiang Zhiyue became the most outstanding special admission student since the founding of Wharton College.
Because she is a swan.
Everyone in the academy laughed at her for becoming friends with Jiang Zhiyue, wondering if she was trying to get close to the Sheng family? With just one word from the Sheng family, her fate could be rewritten.
One even suspected that she had already noticed Jiang Zhiyue's uniqueness and deliberately approached her.
No matter how Zuo Qing explained, she couldn't escape the label of "a scheming poor commoner". She was speechless and felt helpless and aggrieved.
On LINS, Jiang Zhiyue and she kept following each other and would like her posts. In open classes, they were still deskmates.
Nothing seems to have changed.
If Zuo Qing had not witnessed it accidentally, in the girls' restroom, Jiang Zhiyue would have personally refuted the girls' groundless accusations and pushed a girl who often bullied her to the ground.
"This is what it feels like to be bullied. Do you feel good?" Zuo Qing heard Jiang Zhiyue's unusually cold question, but she still had that gentle and harmless look on her face.
The girls around who were wearing gold nameplates and delicate leather shoes looked at each other when their companion fell, but no one dared to step forward to stop him.
Zuo Qing felt an inexplicable shame rising in her heart. She shouldn't have distanced herself from Jiang Zhiyue because of the rumors from the outside world. In this college, she was looked at with strange eyes by everyone.
Workbooks were torn up, lockers were stuffed with fermented milk, sportswear was thrown away, and special reports were deliberately destroyed...
There were too many unpleasant memories that were spent with Jiang Zhiyue. Zuo Qing thought more than once that if she had not met Jiang Zhiyue, she might have already become mentally confused and even had to choose to drop out of school.
Jiang Zhiyue didn't care about these details. What she cared about was the final result.
"What is your dream? Don't you want to get your diploma and leave here to pursue a brighter future? Without a degree, you can't make any progress even overseas."
For Jiang Zhiyue, the graduation certificate is the ultimate goal, and everything else is irrelevant.
She said that as long as the outcome is determined and you have firm faith in the outcome, the process becomes less important.
"What do you want?" Zuo Qingru suddenly understood when she heard the girl's whisper again.
She shared her notes with Jiang Zhiyue and discussed professional problems together. This seemed to be the only reward she could give at the moment.
Fortunately, meeting Jiang Zhiyue is the greatest gift of her destiny.
.....
The afternoon sun is comfortable and warm.
The college garden is full of flowers, colorful butterflies are dancing among the flowers, groups of students are basking in the sun, and there are couples flirting with each other.
Zhou Xiuzhi leaned on a row of empty log chairs, quietly flipping through the book in her hand, with a brand new violin case at her feet.
She seemed exceptionally quiet, as if the noise from the outside world could not disturb her at all, but the sounds around her were chaotic.
"Sister! Did you hear what everyone in the college forum was saying? The woman who eloped with my brother-in-law must be Jiang Zhiyue, right? Besides Jiang Zhiyue, who else in the Sheng family is so bold?"
"Who released that news? How dare you let everyone know that you broke off the engagement with the Qin family, making us a complete laughing stock!? Why didn't you dare to reveal that the woman who interfered with your marriage was Jiang Zhiyue!!"
Bai Ruofei's voice was almost a roar, her face was ferocious and she looked very vicious.
Not far away, the young couple who were flirting with each other couldn't help but look at her.
Bai Ruofei was completely unaware and glared at everyone fiercely.
"These bitches dare to laugh at us!"
Zhou Xiuzhi turned the page of the book in her hand and saw the chapter title written in black and white font - "Trial".
"The trial is the temple of justice. Every trial is a holy baptism for the sinful soul..."
Her voice was very soft when she spoke.
The gentle and soft voice echoed softly, floating in the air and traveling far away.
It's like it's from another world.
The sunlight shone on her with an indescribable piety.
