Lu Jiming was awakened by Jiang Li's knocking on the door.
He rubbed his eyes and sleepily opened the door.
Upon seeing that it was Jiang Li, he blurted out without thinking, "Auntie, isn't it a bit inappropriate to disturb someone's sleep so early in the morning?"
Jiang Li: "..."
This title...
It seems she's heard it more than once.
Perhaps realizing what he had said, Lu Jiming shuddered and immediately tried to cover it up, saying, "Although you and my uncle aren't in that kind of relationship now, my uncle has already decided on you. Anyway, I don't care, I only recognize you as my future aunt. Even if you disagree, it's not allowed! Don't you understand freedom of speech!"
Jiang Li: "???"
Is this some kind of forced sale?!
Isn't this a bit too much of a separation spectrum?
"I think you should still..."
"Anyway, we've finished the college entrance exam now, we're no longer high school students, and we're all adults now, so we don't need to worry about so much," Lu Jiming said proudly. "Even if someone hears me calling you 'Auntie,' the teachers at school won't beat me up."
Jiang Li: "..."
There's absolutely no way to respond to that.
"Huh?" Lu Jiming said, then suddenly looked behind Jiang Li, his face showing obvious doubt. "Where's my uncle? With his personality, why would he let you knock on a man's door so early in the morning?"
My uncle is so possessive that even if he were the one knocking on the door, he would never allow such a thing to happen.
“He’s already flown abroad,” Jiang Li replied slowly. “I came to find you because I wanted to go back. Want to come with me?”
"Huh? My uncle's already gone?" Lu Jiming's eyes widened, and he was completely awake. "Wait for me! I'll go pack up right away!"
Lu Jiming quickly packed up, and the two of them returned to the villa area.
"Now that it's the holidays, will you still be staying here?" Jiang Li asked Lu Jiming casually.
Lu Jiming nodded. "My uncle isn't home, so I have to look after the house. Besides, isn't my place close to you? When my uncle isn't here, if you need anything, just come to me. I should be able to help you out."
“It won’t be close for long.” Jiang Li said calmly. Seeing Lu Jiming’s puzzled look, she added, “I plan to leave the Jiang family.”
"What?" Lu Jiming was shocked by the news and asked, "Leave the Jiang family? When? Does my uncle know?"
"Why should your uncle know that I'm leaving the Jiang family?" Jiang Li's tone was somewhat strange. "If he knew, could he stop me from leaving?"
"That's not what I meant at all, I just said it casually." Lu Jiming was speechless. "So when are you leaving?"
"I have one last thing to do in the next couple of days. I'll leave as soon as I'm done."
"Then..." Lu Jiming hesitated for a moment, then asked, "Where do you want to move to?"
"It's not decided yet. I'll let you know when it's decided," Jiang Li replied.
"Why don't you come and stay at my uncle's house?" Lu Jiming said without thinking, but then realized that what he said might be inappropriate, so he changed his mind and said, "Of course, if you don't want to stay with me, you can stay at my uncle's property. Anyway, he has a lot of properties, so you can just pick one that looks good to you."
His uncle definitely won't mind.
Besides...
If he manages to get this done, his uncle might even praise him.
Just thinking about it makes me feel wonderful.
“No need for that.” Jiang Li waved her hand. “After leaving the Jiang family, I will be going out for a while, so I don’t need to worry about accommodation for the time being. As for where I will stay later… let’s talk about it after I choose a university.”
Lu Jiming thought about it and agreed, but he still couldn't help asking, "Going out for a bit? Where are you going? I'm free anyway. If you need any underlings, you can call me."
“It’s something I promised someone, so I can’t take you with me,” Jiang Li refused Lu Jiming. “This isn’t something I can decide.”
"All right."
When Jiang Li returned to the Jiang family home, to her surprise, they were all there.
Upon seeing Jiang Li return, everyone except Jiang Xueqi, who didn't want to make a fool of herself, immediately gathered in front of Jiang Li.
"Jiang Li, congratulations on finishing your college entrance exam. This is a gift I prepared for you." Su Ruan handed over a beautifully wrapped little box, looking at Jiang Li with a slightly nervous expression.
Jiang Li glanced at it and looked away. "The college entrance exam isn't a big deal. Thank you, Ms. Su, but I don't need it."
Su Ruan's expression turned awkward for a moment. She bit her lip and asked with a sad look, "Jiang Li, I just wanted to give you a gift, but you won't even accept it?"
“I don’t accept rewards without merit, and I don’t need them,” Jiang Li replied. Then she looked at Su Ruan seriously for a moment. “Ms. Su, if you have any large investments recently, you should withdraw them as soon as possible. Otherwise, you might lose everything and cause a lot of trouble.”
Su Ruan was taken aback by what was said. Before she could say anything, she heard Jiang Li continue, "I said before that I wouldn't stay in the Jiang family forever and that I would leave. Now that time has come and the college entrance exam is over, I will be moving out of the Jiang family starting today."
After saying that, ignoring everyone's stunned expressions, Jiang Li went upstairs.
Although she had put all her things in her ring space, she still had to put on a show.
When she came down with her small backpack, she was met with several pairs of eyes staring at her as if she were facing a formidable enemy.
Jiang Li shook her backpack and said to the people staring at her, "Would you like to check if I've taken anything that belongs to your Jiang family?"
"Jiang Li, do you really want to do this?" Jiang Chi's face was very ugly. "We were wrong before, and our attitude towards you was very bad, but we have already admitted our mistakes. Why do you still want to leave?"
“Not everything can be ignored. Everyone has their own choices, and the Jiang family is not my home.” Jiang Li said frankly, “Without further ado, I’ll be leaving now.”
"Wait!" Jiang Chengxi called out to Jiang Li, his expression complicated. "I know you don't want to have anything to do with our family anymore, but we are still blood relatives. If you don't want to live in the Jiang family, then will we still be able to contact you in the future?"
Jiang Li really wanted to say that it's best to avoid contact if possible.
However, she smiled and said seriously, "If you encounter any unnatural troubles that you can't solve, feel free to come to me. Considering our blood relation, I'll give you a 20% discount."
Jiang Chengxi's eyes darkened, and then he said, "If that's the case, let's add each other on WeChat. That way, it'll be more convenient if I need to contact you."
This time, Jiang Li didn't refuse and added Jiang Chengxi as a WeChat friend.
Seeing this, the others also wanted to follow suit and add Jiang Li as a friend.
but……
Jiang Li refused them, saying, "It's enough if one person in your family has my contact information; you don't need to add everyone."
After saying that...
Amidst the complex gazes of the crowd, Jiang Li left without looking back.
"She can leave if she wants to. It's not like we forced her to leave. Why are you all looking so sad?" Jiang Chengying looked at his brothers and asked with a puzzled expression.
The other three people had no interest in paying attention to Jiang Chengying at all.
Jiang Chengying, unfazed, continued, "I've taken on a variety show and need someone to accompany me. Who's coming with me?"
The others all made excuses to refuse.
"None of you are going..." Jiang Chengying paused, then made a helpless decision, "Then let Xueqi come with me."
Although it's not very convenient for siblings to go together, it's still better than no one going at all.
"Let Jiang Xueqi go with you? Ha!" Jiang Chenghao suddenly sneered, "You're just asking for trouble!"
