Seeing that Jiang Li remained silent, Jiang Chi's eyes seemed to be filled with venom, and he coldly questioned, "Did you hear what I just said?"
"I heard you." Jiang Li nodded, saying neither humbly nor arrogantly, "I will not associate with disreputable people."
After saying that, Jiang Li asked, "Mr. Jiang, is there anything else? If not, I'll go back and rest."
"What Mr. Jiang? I'm your father!" Jiang Chi roared angrily.
Jiang Li didn't reply and went upstairs on her own.
Enraged, Jiang Chi swept everything on the table onto the floor, making a loud noise.
Hearing the commotion, others feared something serious had happened and rushed out to see what was going on.
Jiang Chi returned before dinner. The reason he stayed downstairs was to wait for Jiang Li.
The others didn't want to get involved, so they all went back to their rooms.
Only Jiang Xueqi was waiting to see Jiang Li make a fool of himself.
So the moment she heard the noise, Jiang Xueqi opened the door and just then saw Jiang Li walk past her door.
Jiang Xueqi immediately showed concern and asked softly, "Jiang Li, what happened? Why was there such a loud noise? Did you accidentally break something?"
"If you're curious, why don't you go down and see for yourself?"
Jiang Li knew from the beginning that Jiang Xueqi harbored malice towards her and that she was not a kind person.
However, judging from her appearance, although she hadn't done many good deeds, she wasn't a particularly wicked person either.
But unexpectedly...
She can so heartlessly exploit someone, pushing them into the limelight while perfectly hiding behind the scenes, even disguising herself as a kind goddess.
Just thinking about it makes me feel a little disgusted.
"Jiang Li, I know you don't like what I'm saying." Jiang Xueqi gave Jiang Li another deep look, then glanced downstairs before continuing, "Don't blame Dad for being angry. You come home so late every night. Is that something a good girl would do?"
“I never said I was a good girl.” Jiang Li chuckled, then looked at Jiang Xueqi meaningfully. “However, you should know very well why I came back so late today.”
"I...why would I know you?" Jiang Xueqi's eyes flashed with panic for a moment. "Jiang Li, you were the one who went out fooling around and came back so late. What do you mean by turning around and blaming me now?"
"Trying to turn the tables?" Jiang Li's sneer deepened. "How about I give you a hint?"
"Wh...what?"
"Yao Qing."
Jiang Xueqi staggered, grabbing the door for support, her eyes darting away, avoiding Jiang Li's gaze. "What Yao Qing? I don't know what you're talking about!"
"Fine, say whatever you want." Jiang Li yawned. "You can keep doing what you want, I'll deal with whatever comes my way. But I'd like to give you a piece of advice: those who do many evil deeds will surely perish. You'd better watch yourself."
After saying that, Jiang Li went back to her room.
Jiang Xueqi glared resentfully at Jiang Li's retreating figure, then looked up and saw Jiang Chengxi not far away.
Big brother?
When did he start standing there?
What exactly did he hear?
Jiang Xueqi forced a smile and greeted Jiang Chengxi, "Big Brother."
Jiang Chengxi ignored Jiang Xueqi and turned to go back to his room.
Jiang Xueqi: "!!!"
Jiang Li returned to her room, washed up, and went to sleep.
The next morning, Jiang Li finished washing up and went for a run.
Lu Jiming was already waiting not far away.
That's how he looked; he seemed half-asleep and listless.
"Jiang Li, you've finally arrived." Lu Jiming waved to Jiang Li, then couldn't help but yawn. "I've been waiting for you here for ten minutes."
"You actually got up so early?" Jiang Li was skeptical.
Lu Jiming: "..."
Ha, he was dragged away by his own uncle.
They said they absolutely couldn't let Jiang Li wait.
Under the threat of losing his allowance, he humiliatingly lowered his proud head.
"Ahem, let's not talk about that anymore, let's go first." Lu Jiming said with a serious expression, "I'm afraid that if we are delayed even a little, you will be late with me as a burden."
Lu Jiming was quite self-aware.
It's a 20-kilometer road.
One glance, two glances...
Even with three eyes, you can't see the end.
"Okay, then you run with me."
With that, Jiang Li stretched her muscles a little and then jogged out.
Lu Jiming immediately followed.
Jiang Xueqi, who lives upstairs, saw this scene. She got up early specifically to see Jiang Li make a fool of herself, but to her surprise, Lu Jiming actually accompanied Jiang Li to run to school.
She angrily gripped her pajamas tightly, and with a forceful pull...
She tore the clothes to shreds.
Jiang Xueqi clenched her fists angrily, her eyes filled with resentment.
Jiang Li, I won't let you get away with this.
When Jiang Chi went downstairs to eat, he wanted to teach Jiang Li a lesson, but he couldn't find Jiang Li anywhere.
Jiang Xueqi lowered her eyes and said softly, "I saw a boy waiting for Jiang Li outside this morning. They must have agreed to go out together."
Jiang Chi immediately thought of the person who brought Jiang Li back last night.
His face darkened, and he looked extremely displeased. "Jiang Li promised me yesterday that she would no longer associate with shady people outside, and just one night later, she's already forgotten what she said?"
“Dad.” Jiang Chengxi glanced at the angry Jiang Chi and said slowly, “People who can freely enter and leave this villa area either live here or have close relatives living here. Moreover, they go to and from school with Jiang Li. Their family background can’t be bad. They are not some shady people.”
Upon hearing this, Jiang Chi's anger subsided somewhat.
At the same time, a brilliant idea flashed through his mind.
Since Jiang Li cannot satisfy him, he can only use her to obtain the greatest benefit she can bring.
He turned to look at Jiang Xueqi and asked, "Isn't Jiang Li in your class? Do you know who she's with?"
Jiang Xueqi's face turned pale, and she stammered, "I...I..."
Having lived with Jiang Chi for so long, Jiang Xueqi naturally saw his thoughts in his eyes.
He listened to his elder brother's words, which were simply an attempt to sell Jiang Li off cheaply.
If it were anyone else, she would have said it without hesitation.
But that was Lu Jiming!
He is the person she cherishes most in her heart!
"It's...it's Lu Jiming!" Jiang Xueqi knew she couldn't lie about this, and finally blurted out Lu Jiming's name in frustration.
They really shot themselves in the foot.
I wish she hadn't spoken.
Jiang Chi naturally knew who Lu Jiming was.
The Lu family member was also in the same class as Jiang Xueqi.
The two students ranked first and second on the senior year academic leaderboard.
Moreover, whenever Jiang Xueqi talks about Lu Jiming, she always seems to admire and like him.
Jiang Chi had already secretly paired the two of them together.
But now they're telling him that Lu Jiming and Jiang Li are having an affair?
"Didn't Lu Jiming like you?" Jiang Chi looked at Jiang Xueqi with a murderous gaze. "Jiang Li has only been back for a few days. How come he's already seen going in and out with Jiang Li all the time?"
Jiang Chi's gaze seemed to say that Jiang Xueqi was useless.
Jiang Xueqi lowered her eyes and said in a muffled voice, "Jiang Li is now sitting next to Lu Jiming. Lu Jiming probably did this to take care of his new deskmate..."
"Stop saying such useless things," Jiang Chi said with displeasure. "You're all in the same class. Jiang Li can go to school with Lu Jiming, so why can't you? Starting tomorrow, you'll go to and from school with them!"
Jiang Xueqi: "!!!"
To be fair, Jiang Chi would have no objection if Jiang Li could be with Lu Jiming.
The problem is that Jiang Li is not presentable; if the Lu family doesn't accept her, then it's all over.
So, just to be on the safe side, he still hoped that Jiang Xueqi would be the one to win over Lu Jiming.
If Jiang Xueqi is really not an option, Jiang Li can also be used.
After all, having something is better than having nothing.
