Jiang Li drove at breakneck speed, quickly returning home.
She took the elevator from the garage, and it stopped on the floor below hers.
The elevator doors opened, and someone walked in from outside.
He kept his head down, radiating an indescribable aura of resentment.
Jiang Li: "..."
How long has she been gone?
Such a good child...
How did you get tortured like this?
“Lu…Lu…Lu Jiming?” Jiang Li really couldn’t recognize him.
It was Lu Jiming's utterly lifeless appearance that made her feel somewhat...
Some things are too unfamiliar; you can't see any of the vitality they used to have.
The way my third senior brother tortured him is indeed a bit too much...
Yes, that's cruel.
"Jiang... Jiang Li... Waaah..." Lu Jiming's wandering soul returned when he heard Jiang Li's voice. The moment he saw Jiang Li, he became incredibly pathetic...
She burst into tears.
He even reached out to hug Jiang Li.
Jiang Li was startled by Lu Jiming's crying, but she still decisively avoided his embrace.
"You...you don't...don't cry...a man doesn't easily shed tears. If your uncle finds out you're crying like this...he'll probably be disgusted with you, and might even team up with your cheap master to give you extra training."
Lu Jiming was so frightened that he immediately stopped crying.
He's about to be driven to his death by his cheap master.
If I get tormented by my own brother-in-law again...
This double pressure and stimulation...
He won't be able to hold on.
"I...I won't cry anymore, okay?" Lu Jiming said sullenly, looking extremely aggrieved.
Jiang Li had said before that following this cheap master would be a hundred times more difficult than the most difficult time of the college entrance examination...
Although he found it scary at the time, he hadn't experienced it firsthand, so he didn't have such a strong feeling about it.
Now……
He truly experienced what it meant to be worse than dead.
"You..." Jiang Li saw that Lu Jiming's emotions had stabilized a bit, and then asked, "What are you doing out here? Going downstairs or upstairs?"
"Uh..." Lu Jiming was taken aback by Jiang Li's question. "Oh right, what am I doing here?"
Suddenly, he was distracted and forgot all about it.
Jiang Li: "..."
How badly has this person been tormented by his third senior brother?
I can't even remember what I was supposed to do.
"Ah, I remember now!" Lu Jiming suddenly slapped his forehead. "My master ordered something and asked me to pick it up. When the elevator doors opened, I thought it was going down, so I came in. I didn't expect to run into you..."
As he spoke, Lu Jiming became even more anxious, "No, I can't talk to you anymore, I have to go downstairs to get my things."
"What can't be delivered?" Jiang Li asked, frowning. "Do you have to go down and get it yourself?"
"He's not a deliveryman, he can't come into this complex, so I have to go down to get it," Lu Jiming said, and hurriedly went to press the elevator button.
Jiang Li is back now, we can't waste any more time.
"Okay." Jiang Li nodded, and once she reached her destination, she went out first.
Lu Jiming hurriedly pressed the elevator button, anxious to go downstairs to retrieve his belongings.
Jiang Li returned home and smelled a delicious aroma as soon as she opened the door.
Hmm...
It's Ayan.
"Ayan, didn't you go to work today?" Jiang Li leaned over and asked Lu Shiyan with a puzzled look.
It's only a little past four o'clock.
Normally he hasn't finished get off work yet.
They're actually making delicious food now.
And quite a bit has already been done.
"You're back from skipping work," Lu Shiyan replied with a light laugh. "Are you tired? Go take a shower, change your clothes, and get some rest. You can eat dinner when it's ready."
"No." Jiang Li shook her head and leaned against the wall next to the kitchen. "I'll just watch you cook."
"It's smoky here, be careful not to get smoked." Lu Shiyan's tone was gentle, his eyes full of doting. "Besides, it's so hot outside, a shower will make you feel more comfortable."
"There's air conditioning in the car, it's not hot," Jiang Li said slowly.
Lu Shiyan: "..."
He simply forgot about that.
Lu Shiyan thought for a moment and then said, "I prepared a gift for you and put it on your bedside table. Go and try it out."
"What gift?" Jiang Li couldn't help but mutter.
"You'll see when you go and see for yourself," Lu Shiyan said, his tone still somewhat mysterious, without giving a direct answer.
Jiang Li went back to her room and saw two boxes on the bedside table.
When the larger box was opened, a formal dress was found inside.
The dress was black and didn't look too complicated, but it was more formal than the other clothes Lu Shiyan had prepared for her.
Besides this, there is also a smaller box.
The box was opened, and inside was a set of jewelry.
The jewelry looked somewhat familiar to Jiang Li.
oh……
She remembered; it was a set of jewelry that Ayan had specially designed, inspired by her, and now…
The whole set is here.
"Ayan!" Jiang Li called out to Lu Shiyan, "The jewelry was something you promised me before, and it's fine if you give it to me, but why did you give me a dress as well?"
"This is for you to wear to the banquet," Lu Shiyan replied.
"Huh?" Jiang Li was stunned. "What banquet? I didn't say I was going to any banquet."
"Your victory celebration banquet." Lu Shiyan's voice came again. "The school has prepared a victory celebration banquet for you, which will be held together with the graduation party. As the main character, you must be there."
The principal, mindful of Jiang Li's personality, knew she wouldn't want to attend two banquets in a row, so he arranged the graduation party and Jiang Li's celebration banquet together.
This makes more sense.
The graduates in the school can be considered to have attended the celebration banquet for the top scorer in the college entrance examination.
It's just bragging; it makes you feel good when you say it out loud.
Lu Shiyan wouldn't interfere with such matters, but when the school applied for a celebration banquet, he naturally approved it without hesitation.
They even approved some extra funding.
Not only should it be done, but it should be done well.
His daughter Jiang Jiang must be treated with the utmost respect.
Jiang Li was unaware of the intricacies involved. Looking at the clothes and recalling that she had just come out...
She eventually went to take a shower first.
After taking a bath, Jiang Li changed into a black dress, which made her look noble and aloof, yet also added an indescribable touch of playful allure.
At once……
It looks very stylish and has a strong presence.
There is another kind of beauty that cannot be described.
Lu Shiyan finished cooking another dish and just then saw Jiang Li standing to the side, looking somewhat hesitant in her formal dress.
Upon looking at it, a hint of amazement flashed in Lu Shiyan's eyes.
This dress really suits his Jiang Jiang perfectly.
Then, Lu Shiyan frowned again, "Jiang Jiang, why aren't you wearing your jewelry?"
"Huh?" Jiang Li was taken aback. "Didn't you ask me to try on clothes?"
Lu Shiyan couldn't help but rub his forehead. "Of course, the clothes and jewelry should be together. Let me see how it goes. If it's not good, I'll have someone send over another set of jewelry."
Jiang Li: "..."
Isn't it unnecessary to go through all that trouble?
Seeing that Jiang Li was standing there without moving, Lu Shiyan went into the room first, picked up the necklace from the box, and waved to Jiang Li, "Come here, let me help you put it on."
