Chapter 383 Time Bomb
When Sheng Huaian said he would keep a close eye on things, he wasn't just talking.
He always pays attention to the people who appear around Jiang Zhiyue. Jiang Zhiyue lives a simple life, and only goes between college and home.
In the past, there were many second-generation scoundrels who tried to get their hands on Jiang Zhiyue. Ever since the rumors intensified, no one dared to mess with anyone who had anything to do with the Sheng family.
"Isn't Jiang Zhiyue an illegitimate daughter? Jiang Wanrou, don't you know? She is the woman who works as a caregiver in the Gu family. She has never been married in her life. My father specially investigated her background information and she is still unmarried."
"Jiang Zhiyue doesn't know who she gave birth to the child with. They are just too lucky."
"I dare to assert that Jiang Zhiyue relied on her relationship with the Sheng family to fight with Yanzhu in the hunting ground. You didn't see the situation at that time. It was so thrilling. Yanzhu almost died!"
"Fortunately, Master Chu Xiao came to the rescue in time, otherwise if Yanzhu had been in trouble, the consequences would have been disastrous!"
"Where did Jiang Zhiyue get the courage to fight Yanzhu? Yanzhu is the legitimate eldest daughter of the Bai family, how can she be compared with an illegitimate daughter? Master Xiao and Master Qin really can't tell right from wrong."
"Have you heard that Master Qin wants to cancel his engagement with Yanzhu because of Jiang Zhiyue!"
"Oh, am I the only one who discovered something interesting? Master Chu Xiao risked his life to save Yanzhu, that must be true love! Even truer than Master Qin's!"
There were discussions in the college one after another.
Wherever Jiang Zhiyue went, there were people talking behind her back. The topic of conversation was nothing more than her life experience, and the rest revolved around Bai Yanzhu and Qin Si.
During the open class, Zuo Qing completed the group assignment with her, with a look of uneasiness on her face.
"Zhiyue..." Zuo Qing called her softly, seeming to want to say something but stopping herself several times.
Jiang Zhiyue knew what she was going to say and put down the pen in her hand. On the table was a plain canvas bag, similar in style to Zuo Qing's schoolbag.
Jiang Zhiyue's attire remained unchanged and she was still wearing her college uniform.
She patted Zuo Qing's hand and said, "Nothing has changed."
Zuo Qing was startled and her eyelashes moved slightly.
During this period, it was rumored that Jiang Zhiyue was the granddaughter of Mr. Sheng and the younger sister of Sheng Huaian. She would jump from the position of a companion to become the girl among the six major families.
Because of the change in identity, even the girl with the highest status in the college could not do anything to Jiang Zhiyue.
Zuo Qing was sincerely happy for her, as she had finally escaped from the environment where she was restrained by others. At the same time, she also understood the gap between her and Jiang Zhiyue, who were poor people living in a narrow and dirty alley, living in a simple tin house, with bare walls and even no toilet.
You are destined to have no chance to become friends with the princess who lives in the castle.
Even if the princess lives in the slums, she will eventually return to her original world.
This gap is an insurmountable chasm.
It is a chasm that means we are in the same world and under the same blue sky, but will never intersect in this life.
Jiang Zhiyue came to the public school as usual, attended open classes with her, and still chose to be her deskmate.
Seeing this, the girls who bullied Zuo Qing had to restrain their behavior, but the gossip never stopped.
"How dare a poor man become good friends with the illegitimate daughter of the Sheng family? Even if Jiang Zhiyue is an illegitimate daughter, she is not someone you can casually make friends with."
"Hey, you're not planning to cling to Jiang Zhiyue and imitate her in currying favor with the rich and powerful, are you?
"Let's think about it. Who is the right person for you to hook up with? How about Master Chu? Madam Chu sponsored you to complete your studies, and you can hook up with Madam Chu's son. This is really a godsend opportunity."
"Besides, Master Chu has already called off the engagement. This way, you don't have to worry about Xian'er causing trouble for you."
I swear to God, Zuo Qing has never had the slightest desire for Chu Junyue!
She just wanted to finish her studies quietly and then leave this place. When she got a job and made money in the future, she would repay Mrs. Chu for the support she had given her over the years.
If Mrs. Chu needs any help, she will definitely do her best and contribute all her strength.
Zuo Qing's world is simple, without so many complicated interpersonal relationships. For her, receiving the top education at Wharton Academy is undoubtedly a precious gift that should be cherished.
However...if there were fewer bullying incidents in this prestigious institution, people would feel the purity of knowledge more.
"Do you remember what you said at the welcome party?" Jiang Zhiyue stared into Zuo Qing's eyes, "No one can crush our dreams."
......
In a week it will be Mr. Sheng’s 80th birthday. Since there was a joke at the celebration ceremony, the Sheng family attached great importance to it and started to make careful preparations for the birthday banquet early on, striving to make it foolproof.
Mr. Sheng is a man who has made outstanding contributions to Brandenburg. With his influence, people in Vanity Fair dare not disrespect him, and what happened at the celebration ceremony can only be told as a joke in private.
The most important part of this birthday banquet is that Mr. Sheng is about to solemnly announce Jiang Wanrou's life experience to everyone.
Before this, Mr. Sheng visited in person and, as he did in the past, looked at the place silently from a distance.
As they were about to recognize each other, Mr. Sheng was not familiar with Jiang Wanrou, his biological daughter, at all. When Jiang Wanrou saw him from afar, she must have been very shocked.
Mr. Sheng felt bad.
I don’t know if Jiang Wanrou has heard those rumors, but she was deliberately lost in revenge by her enemies. She was almost sold abroad as a child slave. The reason she was lost was because Mr. Sheng was unfaithful in his marriage.
Mr. Sheng wanted to develop a relationship with Jiang Wanrou, and suggested that Sheng Huaian send her to the main house.
Sheng Huaian sneered: "During this period of time, Sheng Yao should also live with you. Auntie has to go to the old house. I'm afraid she won't survive tonight."
"You kid, you actually talk nonsense." Old Master Sheng was dissatisfied.
He became more and more annoyed with Sheng Huaian, and also began to feel resentful towards Jiang Zhiyue, so he asked about the grudge between Jiang Zhiyue and Bai Yanzhu.
Sheng Huaian raised his eyebrows lazily, chewed gum, and leaned against the door with his arms folded across his chest, looking very unruly.
"Oh, the sun is rising from the west, and Grandpa will start to care about my sister. You are not concerned about whether my sister and Miss Bai have a grudge. You are probably worried that my sister will steal Miss Bai's fiancé and make you lose face."
Old Master Sheng’s face turned red.
Ladies strive to be flawless in every move and even every strand of their hair.
A daughter with whom he is estranged, and a granddaughter who is born rebellious.
These two people are like time bombs in the family recognition ceremony, which may explode at any time.
