Chapter 448: Old Grudge
At this time, only Xiao Jingrun could block out the unfriendly gazes behind him and give the girl the gift without changing his expression or heartbeat.
He smiled, his eyebrows curved into a very gentle arc.
Xiao Jingrun still blocked the view of the men behind him, allowing only Jiang Zhiyue to see him. The girl raised her head, and from the perspective of others, her every micro-expression seemed to be magnified and extremely clear.
Jiang Zhiyue was very calm in front of them, but felt a little awkward when facing Xiao Jingrun.
Like the girl in the anime, when she meets an older and warm senior, she will choose to accept his sincere blessings and nod in greeting.
"Thank you for your gift on behalf of my brother."
Xiao Jingrun frowned slightly, "Aren't we alumni? Why do we have to use honorifics?"
Because there was always a gap between them and they did not have much in-depth communication, Jiang Zhiyue roughly understood the role she played in Xiao Jingrun's eyes. If the Noble Academy was a pyramid game at the top, Xiao Jingrun was the big BOSS hidden behind the scenes, then she was a small pawn that broke the balance between other big BOSSes.
This idea was a little absurd. Without listening to the second half of Xiao Jingrun's story, she could not define his role.
"Hey, Zhiyue, what are you doing? Are you obsessed with Brother Jingrun? I'm jealous." Gu Zhaoye's voice suddenly sounded in her ears, and he had already started to knead her face.
Fortunately, just as his dirty hands were about to reach out, Chu Junyue grabbed his arm and stopped his bad habit.
Gu Zhaoye pouted in anger. Chu Junyue glanced at Qin Si and said, "Today you will keep watch with Zhiyue. Tomorrow I will come and it will be Zhaoye's turn."
He made the final decision, and this time Qin Si, for the first time ever, did not refute it.
The person involved, Xiao Jingrun, was busy with work. He came to the hospital to visit, which took up quite a bit of time, so he said goodbye to Jiang Zhiyue.
They didn't like him, and he didn't care about their attitude. Fortunately, there was an exception, Chu Junyue. He and Xiao Jingrun had always been good friends. Before leaving, he told Jiang Zhiyue to take good care of herself and to call him if anything happened. After that, he reached out and rubbed her little head.
"You seem to like her very much."
As I walked further away, I seemed to be able to hear two men talking.
"Not as if."
“Is that love?”
“.......”
The sound faded away and the elevator door closed.
Chu Junyue's later answer was a little vague as it drifted away, and the elevator door slowly closed, but miraculously opened the next moment.
"etc!"
Jiang Zhiyue chased after him. A hint of surprise flashed in Chu Junyue's eyes, and he felt an inexplicable joy, thinking that Jiang Zhiyue was reluctant to leave him.
Unexpectedly, Jiang Zhiyue's gaze passed over him and fell on Xiao Jingrun, and she said firmly: "Now is the most appropriate time. Please tell me the second half of the story, President."
This will be the key to determining the final direction of this contest.
What role is she going to play?
....
Bai family.
Baek Yeon-joo accepted the fact that her engagement was broken off.
She saw with her own eyes what happened in the Qin family and could only accept this terrible outcome.
She told Bai's mother everything that had happened in the Qin family. Bai's mother looked at her disappointedly, as if she was looking at a commodity to be sold at a price.
"Is your life-saving grace useless this time?"
Bai Yanzhu suppressed her heartache and said, "Mrs. Qin said that Ah Si actually knew everything. If I care about my last face and want to part ways with him in peace, I should not go to him and humiliate myself. This is a complete scam. It's not that we disguised ourselves well and deceived the Qin family's gratitude. It's that they have been treating us as tools."
"Mrs. Qin knows, and Ah Si knows, too. The so-called life-saving grace Mr. Qin gave Ah Si was a test, to let him taste the betrayal of the people around him once again. The pain of death will be unforgettable to Ah Si. He can't trust anyone, including me."
"So in the past three years, I have been treating Ah Si with affection, but Ah Si was unwilling to accept it. He knew in his heart that I deliberately saved him when he was dying, in order to maximize the value of this kindness."
That day at Qin's house, Bai Yanzhu ran to the man regardless of anything. When he walked down the trial field, she agreed to break off the engagement with him, but begged him to hug her before they separated.
She was unwilling to never get Qin Si and wanted to touch this powerful man.
Qin Si left her coldly, his voice cruel and resolute, and left a sentence, "I'll give you ten days, leave here, and don't let me see you again."
He wanted to kill her completely! He wanted to expel her!
Because she pushed Jiang Zhiyue to block the bullet, and Qin Si ascended to the position of head of the family to eliminate the danger that was harmful to Jiang Zhiyue, even if that person was his biological father.
How can you expect mercy from someone who can be so cruel to his own father?
"A Si gave me ten days to leave this country. Mother, this is the price of our greed." Bai Yanzhu's originally gentle face was filled with twisted pain. "Why did you ask me to save A Si in the first place? In order to make me A Si's savior, you released my ambition, and I was fooled like a fool from beginning to end."
"Because of power!" Bai's mother was furious. "We want to climb up, to the highest place, and then we will make the rules of this world. We want to be the ones who make the rules."
"So, just like when Ruo Fei and Ruo Zhou were killed in an accident, the rule you made was to send them abroad, claiming to the public that they were going abroad for further studies, but in fact it was to avoid the fate of becoming murderers?"
"The rules you set are to use the power in your hands to force the victims of the appeal to have their families destroyed? You have tasted the power, and I have become a tool for you to cling to the powerful! Is this why I must save Ah Si?"
"Nonsense!" Bai's mother was furious and raised her hand to hit Bai Yanzhu, but she couldn't bear to do so.
"You have always wanted the position of Chief Justice. Three years ago, you were the candidate for the position, but you lost. After Ah Si and I got engaged, you were promoted to the top of the legal world. Isn't this what I brought to you?"
Bai Yanzhu said: "Who was the person that Ruo Fei and Ruo Zhou killed four years ago? She was the daughter of a famous artist. So what if she is an artist? After all, she cannot compare to the power in your hands."
"As long as the children in the piano room accuse him of doing something bad to them, his reputation will be ruined. This case is left to you to judge. You can decide their fate with just a flick of your finger."
"Mother, Madam Qin helped us one last time and suppressed this case as compensation to us. If you can't find out who is overturning the case, I'm afraid your position as chief justice will also be over."
None of this has anything to do with Bai Yanzhu.
She was going abroad, and before leaving, she had to settle another old grudge.
She returned to the room and dialed Chu Xiao's number.
