After breakfast, Lu Shiyan shamelessly accompanied Jiang Li for a walk around the school.
Just before leaving, I caught a glimpse of Lu Jiming.
Lu Shiyan waved to Lu Jiming.
"Uncle, little...cough..." Lu Jiming coughed suddenly, asking in shock, "How did you end up at school?"
Didn't my uncle leave early this morning?
Why did you end up at school after going around in circles?
Or is it...?
Was he here to go on a date with Jiang Li?
Is it possible for my brother-in-law to win over his wife so quickly?
Lu Jiming's gaze darted back and forth between the two people, his heart churning with turmoil.
"Why are you only getting to school now?" Lu Shiyan looked at Lu Jiming with disdain and couldn't help but scold him, "Look at you, you get up so late every day and you don't even know how to exercise. Starting tomorrow, you'll run to school with Jiang Jiang."
"Huh?" Lu Jiming thought he was hallucinating and almost choked on his own saliva. "Uncle, what did you just say? Say it again!"
"Starting tomorrow morning, you'll run to school with Jiang Jiang." Lu Shiyan gave the order in a serious tone, then turned to Jiang Li and said gently, "Jiang Jiang, I'm entrusting this brat to you from now on."
“I don’t care,” Jiang Li shrugged. “I’m just worried that Lu Jiming won’t be able to handle it.”
She's used to this distance, but others might not.
Lu Jiming nodded hurriedly, his will to survive strong, and said, "Yes, yes, I can't do it, Uncle, please don't make things difficult for me."
Running that far would kill someone.
"There's no one in the Lu family who can't do it." Lu Shiyan's tone was indifferent, but Lu Jiming felt an indescribable threat. "If Jiang Jiang can do it, I believe you can too."
Lu Jiming: "!!!"
The aunt is the big boss, and he's just a nobody!
Can they be compared?
However, Lu Shiyan did not give Lu Jiming a chance to refuse. He said goodbye to Jiang Li and left.
Lu Jiming looked at Jiang Li with a look of utter despair, "Just pretend that everything my uncle said was nonsense, okay?"
“Probably not.” Jiang Li smiled. “Ayan is my customer now, and a big one at that. I’ll agree to any request that isn’t unreasonable.”
It's a big spender with 20 million yuan, after all.
His small request naturally had to be fulfilled.
Lu Jiming: "..."
Destroy it.
When I returned to the classroom, Jiang Xueqi was already there.
Seeing Jiang Li and Lu Jiming walk in one after the other, the jealousy in her eyes became even more pronounced.
That little bitch Jiang Li not only humiliated her, but also stole the person she liked!
Why should I?
Why is it that the moment she turns around, Lu Jiming's gaze falls entirely on her?
Clenching her fists, Jiang Xueqi took a deep breath and forced a smile onto her face.
She walked up to Jiang Li and said with concern, "Jiang Li, you must be very tired from traveling such a long way from home. Next time, wait for me, and we can walk together, okay?"
Jiang Li didn't answer; she looked at Jiang Xueqi with a half-smile.
This little green tea bitch really doesn't miss any opportunity to show off or smear her.
"No need, I still prefer to run here." Seeing that Jiang Xueqi wanted to say something, Jiang Li cut her off.
Jiang Xueqi looked as if she had been bullied, tears welling up in her eyes.
"Jiang Li, what do you mean? Xueqi is doing this for your own good, and you not only don't appreciate it, but you're also giving her the cold shoulder. Your family isn't well-off, so you have to run to school. How can you blame Xueqi for that?"
"Xueqi, only you are kind-hearted enough to care about such a poor bastard. But not everyone deserves your concern. People like him are not worth your time and effort..."
"Don't say that, Jiang Li isn't..." Jiang Xueqi bit her lip, as if she had said something wrong, and hurriedly tried to explain, "She's not from a poor family, she's just..."
"Alright, Xueqi, you don't need to make excuses for her anymore. Some people just don't appreciate kindness. If you treat her well, she'll think you're showing off."
"..."
As Lu Jiming listened to the crowd's mockery of Jiang Li, he took another deep look at Jiang Xueqi, the instigator.
He sneered, "Since when running to school has become a measure of a person's family's financial situation?"
When everyone saw Lu Jiming angrily stand up for Jiang Li, they couldn't help but shrink back in fear.
"That's quite an interesting statement." Lu Jiming sneered again, then turned to Jiang Li. "Jiang Li, starting tomorrow, I'll run to school with you!"
Everyone: "!!!"
Has Lu Jiming gone mad?
He actually defended a new transfer student like that?
Does he know how far his home is from school when he runs to school?
Upon hearing this, Jiang Xueqi's face darkened further. A few tears welled in her eyes, and she said to Lu Jiming with a hint of resentment, "Lu, you don't need to do this for Jiang Li... she..."
Seeing that Lu Jiming ignored her, Jiang Xueqi looked at Jiang Li angrily, "Jiang Li, this is all because of you, why don't you hurry up and persuade Lu?"
Jiang Li lazily picked at her ear. "What's it to me?"
"You!" Jiang Xueqi's expression changed drastically. She held back her anger, took a deep breath, and said, "Jiang Li, how can you be so vulgar? Also, Lu has grown up with a silver spoon in her mouth since she was a child. She is not like you. If Lu causes any more trouble because of you, the Lu family will not let you off the hook!"
"Jiang Xueqi, you're really funny..." Jiang Li was speechless. "You said things got like this because of me, how is it all because of me?"
"Isn't Lu running to school to protect you?"
"Then why did he defend me?" Jiang Li looked amused. "Oh, I remember now, it's because you suddenly said in front of the whole class that I ran to school, and then the classmates started attacking me. Lu Jiming couldn't stand it, so he defended me..."
These people would never have imagined that Lu Jiming wasn't protecting her at all, but rather that Ayan had given him a death order.
This incident just happened to give him a legitimate reason to run to school.
"I...I was just concerned about you, I didn't expect things to turn out like this..." Jiang Xueqi's tears suddenly fell, her pitiful appearance instantly causing her group of sycophants to erupt in anger.
"Xueqi meant well, how could you misinterpret her intentions?"
"Is it wrong to care about you?"
"If someone attacks you, it means there's something wrong with you. How can you blame it on Xueqi?"
"You're the one who's disliked, yet you blame others for caring about you. Don't you think you're going too far?"
"..."
Everyone criticized Jiang Li, saying her unreasonable and ridiculous arguments were laughable.
Jiang Li was amused by their hypocritical and smug faces. "So she can use the guise of concern to hurt me, right? Even if I am the victim of the attacks and insults, I can't have any complaints and have to accept it with gratitude, right? Just because she didn't do it on purpose, it's my own fault?"
Everyone was speechless.
Seeing that everyone was starting to feel guilty, Jiang Li looked at Jiang Xueqi again, a smile appearing on her cold face. "But since things have come to this, I have to thank classmate Jiang Xueqi for creating this opportunity for me. This way, I can spend more time with Lu Jiming every day."
Jiang Li wasn't blind; she naturally noticed that Jiang Xueqi had feelings for Lu Jiming.
Is this targeting her?
Then don't blame her for stepping on her sore spot.
