Joey waited for Jiang Nian's reply.
I didn't react much when I saw the first message.
Upon seeing the second text message that followed, I couldn't help but grip my phone tightly.
His gaze shifted unpredictably in an instant.
"Miss, what's wrong?" the butler asked with concern.
Joey took a deep breath and said expressionlessly, "It's nothing. Go get me a coat, I'm going out."

When Jiang Nian arrived at the open space in Tanzhou, Joey was already waiting there.
Hearing the noise, he turned around.
Under the moonlight, that beautiful, doll-like face still looked lovely and innocent.
But his eyes, having shed their previous naive and innocent facade, had become dark and brooding.
Joey glanced at Jiang Nian.
The other person was dressed simply.
A white T-shirt, jeans, and canvas shoes—even the canvas shoes are the cheapest kind. It seems like she doesn't need any external clothing to adorn herself.
It appears that he didn't bring anything for self-defense.
"I've done so many things to try and hurt you."
"You come to see me like this? Aren't you afraid I'll set some kind of trap for you?"
"Don't be afraid,"
Jiang Nian stood there, her voice nonchalant, "I'm not that easy to die."
indeed.
How many people in this world can take down a tiger in a few seconds and walk out unscathed as if nothing happened?
Joey stared into her eyes and asked, "Don't you want to get revenge for this video incident?"
Joey always felt that Jiang Nian was very similar to her.
They are the type of people who will retaliate tenfold against anyone who dares to provoke them.
But Jiang Nian only said one sentence: "I don't want to."
His tone lowered, and his thoughts drifted.
"I owe Anne."
Even if you try to kill me, I won't do anything to you.
Upon hearing this, Joey suddenly felt inexplicably annoyed.
His tone suddenly turned icy.
"So, you only treat me differently because I'm that illegitimate daughter's sister?"
“I’ve already said it, that person is just an illegitimate child born in the slums, of lowly blood. I have never considered her my sister.”
"I came to find you not to avenge her at all."
Jiang Nian suddenly looked at Qiao Yi.
Tilting her head, she asked, "What are you angry about?"
Joey said coldly, "Who said I'm angry?"
“You clearly are,” Jiang Nian suddenly reached out and pinched Qiao Yi’s face unexpectedly, “You’re all puffed up, aren’t you?”
The sudden temperature and touch made Joey's eyes widen.
He instinctively pushed Jiang Nian's hand away.
Jiang Nian touched her cheek, which turned red within seconds, and her breathing became unsteady.
"What are you doing? I hate it when people touch me!"
“Is that so?” Jiang Nian straightened up and said, “To be honest, do you know how much you’ve done for me after coming to China? It’s like what?”
Joey looked up: "What?"
Jiang Nian said seriously, "It sounds like you have a crush on me."
"You did all this just to get my attention and make me think about you."
"..."
It's likely that no one has ever spoken to this little princess in such a roguish manner.
She's a girl.
Joey's face turned bright red in an instant.
He took a deep breath: "...You already have a boyfriend, how could I possibly have a crush on you?!"
Jiang Nian chuckled: "You mean, if I didn't have a boyfriend, you might have a crush on me?"
"..."
The whole thing collapsed.
Joey couldn't even remember what she had wanted to say when she invited Jiang Nian over.
The more I thought about it, the more I felt that what the other person said didn't seem to be without reason.
From the first time I learned about J, to discovering her news and past, to becoming more and more interested in her, to even traveling thousands of miles to China for her and transferring to her class.
It's not just like having a crush.
He also seems like a somewhat perverted and obsessive stalker.
Joey took a deep breath to calm her racing heart.
He raised his chin slightly and said coldly, "I called you here to tell you that my father has asked me to return to the United States, so I will let you off the hook for the time being."
"I haven't had a fair and square competition with you yet, but there will always be a chance in the future."
"I hope you'll be even stronger next time we meet. J, don't let me down."
Jiang Nian looked at Qiao Yi and curled her lips into a smile.
"good."
"I'm ready for you to challenge me anytime, anywhere."
Joey stared at Jiang Nian for a moment.
Suddenly, he shoved the coat he was holding into Jiang Nian's hand and then quickly turned around.
She pursed her lips tightly: "You even reminded me to wear more clothes, but you yourself weren't wearing anything at all."
Then he left without looking back.
In the end, he's just a fifteen-year-old kid.
Jiang Nian looked down at the coat in her hand and first gave a forced smile.
Then a hint of melancholy crept into his eyes.
This is Anne's half-sister.
Anne died because of her before she even knew she had other relatives in the world.
"Baby."
A familiar voice suddenly came from behind me.
Jiang Nian turned around in surprise and looked at the man: "...What are you doing here?"
She came to Tanzhou to see Qiao Yi without telling Si Boye, afraid that he would be worried.
"People who love each other can sense each other's telepathy."
Si Boye wrapped his arms around the girl from behind, kissed her hair, and spoke in a deep, seductive voice.
"When did you arrive?"
"From the moment you asked her if she had a crush on you."
There was a hint of jealousy in her voice.
*
On a private jet.
Joey leaned back in his chair and, before putting on his eye mask to rest, frowned and asked the butler beside him, "John, is there something I forgot to take care of?"
"Have you forgotten something?" The butler pondered for a moment. "I don't think so, Miss."
Joey then frowned and closed his eyes.

Meanwhile, in a detention center in Jiangcheng.
Jiang Ranran, who had been detained for four days, was brought out of the detention center. She had lost a lot of weight and looked pale and haggard.
Upon seeing Jiang Sheng and Chen Fulan, she burst into tears, sobbing with joy: "Waaah, Dad, Mom, I knew you wouldn't let me stay locked up forever."
Then, her eyes lit up, and she asked impatiently, "Mom, I saw the morning news at the detention center this morning. It said that Jiang Nian is a murderer and has been expelled from Yingzhong High School. Is that true? Does that mean Jiang Nian is finished now?"
