Chapter 539 I Believe You Can Do It
Sheng Huaian’s poor acting skills probably couldn’t even fool Jiang Wanrou’s eyes.
What brother? He is not! He has nothing to do with her!
Sheng Huaian really wanted to tell Jiang Wanrou the extremely true fact, but when the words came to his lips, he couldn't say them.
"Zhiyue is a child who cherishes her family very much. You are as important to her as I am to her." Jiang Wanrou held a bowl of fruit, her eyes were gentle, and she smiled: "Zhiyue has never been in a relationship, Huai'an, I understand your concerns, but as an adult, we need to give her some space to let her choose."
"I am really happy now because Zhiyue feels happy."
Surrounded by love and the warmth of family.
Jiang Zhiyue no longer has any worries and can realize her dream.
Jiang Wanrou couldn't help but recall that winter. The winter days in New Myanmar Lanzhou were always exceptionally long, as if it was a place where the sun would never shine.
In the crowded slums, with snow and wind raging, even the thugs who usually collected protection fees lost the desire to wander around outside and hid in the dilapidated roofs.
Jiang Wanrou went out early in the morning and suddenly heard a baby crying weakly. The sound was so thin that if Jiang Wanrou had not noticed it carefully, she would have ignored it as an illusion.
She followed the sound and was very surprised to find a snow-white baby girl hiding behind the garbage dump. It was snowing heavily and the baby girl was so cold that her whole body turned purple. She had been crying for an unknown period of time without being noticed.
Jiang Wanrou should be thankful for this. If she hadn't found Jiang Zhiyue that day, what if it was someone else? Especially those thugs who wanted to collect protection money, Jiang Zhiyue would most likely be sold.
Jiang Wanrou was not sure at the time whether the freezing baby girl could survive. She only dared to touch the baby girl's nose tentatively. Unexpectedly, the premature baby raised her little fist, as if trying to grab something.
But her little hands were too weak to hold it tightly, until Jiang Wanrou stretched out her fingers, and the baby girl immediately grabbed her tightly.
It seemed like that was her first choice when she came into this world, and it was also the fateful connection between her and Jiang Wanrou.
"I'm not a good mother. Zhiyue stumbled along with me all the way and suffered a lot. Fortunately, I met her and she protected me. That's why I am here with you today."
Jiang Wanrou's eyes became moist and she wiped away the barely noticeable tears.
"Huai'an, please respect her choice, be a good brother and protect her forever."
"You will also feel happy because of her."
Sheng Huaian suppressed the emotions in his eyes, took a deep breath, and showed a relieved expression on his face, "I understand, aunt."
Jiang Zhiyue went to the slums to investigate the specific situation. Qin Si was busy with official duties and could not accompany her. Chu Junche and Gu Zhaoye hid in the crowd and took the opportunity to secretly follow her.
The slum renovation project in Monte State is currently in its first phase, with funds fully provided by several major families.
The eldest son of the Gu family was present at the scene in person, wearing low-key black clothes and a baseball cap, trying not to attract attention.
The sun was shining brightly. Jiang Zhiyue, wearing light sun-protective clothing, stood at the construction site with the design team, discussing the specific planning and details of the project.
The civilians gathered around revealed complex emotions in their eyes—a mixture of fear, uneasiness, and a hint of trepidation.
They whispered, "Are these people really here to help us, or are they just putting on a show? Can the agreement promoted by Young Master Xiao really be implemented nationwide? Or is it because we are lucky enough to be in Monte State in the capital, so we are fortunate enough to be included as a model?"
"Is this another way to appease us? After all, this is Monte Province. If even the capital falls into civil strife, these nobles will be afraid."
"But this lady looks familiar and friendly."
On behalf of the Sheng family, Jiang Zhiyue put forward a suggestion in the "Co-construction and Profit Sharing Agreement" to gradually ban the brothels in Brandenburg and help the civilians who had to sell themselves due to family difficulties.
Xiao Jingrun accepted her proposal, and for this he offended a large number of tycoons who relied on evil forces for their support. The entire Brandenburg's education funds were sponsored by the Sheng family.
Xiao Jingrun was unwilling to hide her contribution. He saw a small figure struggling to squeeze out of the crowd. The child stretched out his gray little hand and gently pulled Jiang Zhiyue's clothes.
Jiang Zhiyue looked down and saw a little girl with a dusty face but full of smiles. She looked up and asked innocently, "I'm five years old this year. Mom said I can go to school in the second half of the year. Sister, did you help pay our tuition?"
"We all know you. I want to be like you and go to Wharton College in the future. I will work very hard!"
Jiang Zhiyue's face suddenly broke into a brilliant smile. She squatted down and looked straight into the little girl's eyes.
It was as if I saw myself many years ago.
"Well, I believe you can do it." Jiang Zhiyue blessed the little girl and shook hands with her.
The little girl's mother took great pains to squeeze into the crowd, worried that her child might offend an important person. When she saw the little girl leave an obvious dirty handprint on Jiang Zhiyue's trouser leg,
She was scared and anxious, and was about to bow and apologize, but Jiang Zhiyue reached out to stop her.
It is a long project to change the fear of the common people towards the upper class that has accumulated over thousands of years.
Jiang Zhiyue lowered her eyes and looked at the little girl. Compared to her timid mother, the child was like the rising sun, with an extremely innocent smile, full of longing for the future.
"I can finally go to school! The slums will have their own schools!"
Gu Zhaoye stood in the crowd, his unique temperament was particularly conspicuous in the crowd. The bodyguards gathered around and whispered to remind him: "Master, you are not feeling well, you should get in the car and rest first."
Gu Zhaoye pursed his lips tightly and said viciously, "Send some clean clothes to that child later."
"Also, take out all the cash you have and send it over."
The bodyguards couldn't believe their ears and looked at Gu Zhaoye in surprise. You know, Gu's father was willing to sign, firstly because he stood on Xiao Jingrun's side, and secondly because Gu Zhaoye made a big fuss at home.
He claimed that he had no dreams, his only dream was Jiang Zhiyue. He fully supported Jiang Zhiyue in whatever she wanted to do.
Young Master Gu has never experienced the sufferings of the world. The hardest time for him was when he had to eat a few steamed buns in the slums. His life has been too smooth.
But seeing that little girl...
Gu Zhaoye seemed to see Jiang Zhiyue who lived in the slums many years ago.
He seemed to see her childhood.
