Whether you're a student or a working professional, Friday afternoons are always filled with a relaxed and cheerful atmosphere.
Because we can rest on the weekend.
After yesterday's lecture and the whole series of events, the top-performing class probably realized they had embarrassed themselves and finally put away their previous arrogant and condescending attitude.
Passing by Class 36, they dared not utter a sound or provoke them again, and slunk away with their tails between their legs.
The students in Class 36 were extremely proud of themselves.
It's because, apart from Chi Lin, no one in the top-performing class stood up to tell the truth for Jiang Nian. They drove Jiang Nian away, and that's what their top-performing class deserved.
That's how Class 36 managed to snag a great find and acquire a valuable asset.
After school, Jiang Nian went to the largest pet supply store in Jiangcheng.
She had never owned a dog, but she looked up what she needed to own one.
The main items are dog beds, pee pads, dog food, dog treats, and some other daily necessities for dogs.
Jiang Nian put anything she could use into her shopping cart.
Si Boye said he would find a professional dog trainer to train Pipi and cultivate good habits in it from a young age, such as going to the toilet in a designated spot and not guarding its food.
After paying the bill, the store could pack the items and deliver them directly to the customer's door, saving Jiang Nian a lot of trouble.
Thinking of going out to hail a taxi back to the Ji family home, she found a large crowd gathered not far away, seemingly watching something exciting and pointing at each other.
Jiang Nian has never liked joining in the fun.
It might satisfy a gossipy curiosity, but it could also bring unnecessary trouble upon oneself.
As I turned to leave, I heard Jiang Ranran's familiar, aggrieved voice.
"Sir, my mother clearly didn't hit you while driving."
"You wouldn't be trying to scam us by pretending to be hit by our expensive car while we're backing up, would you?"
Jiang Nian frowned.
Looking up, the car parked by the roadside was indeed the red Ferrari that Jiang Sheng and Chen Fulan had driven to school on the first day of school.
Looking again, through the gaps in the crowd, one could see an elderly man, about seventy years old with graying temples, dressed in a simple Tang suit, lying on the ground.
The old man was clutching his knee, groaning in pain.
The passersby just watched and whispered among themselves, but no one went to help them up.
Jiang Nian has seen many patients.
It's obvious at a glance that this old man wasn't faking being hit or feigning pain.
His kneecap is clearly dislocated!
This must have been caused by a severe impact to the knee.
"That means there are all kinds of people these days. Maybe they're so desperate for money that they came up with this kind of scheme to extort money?"
Chen Fulan was dressed in jewels and looked just like a noblewoman, yet she stood in front of the old man and raised her chin.
With a warning and impatient tone.
"I advise you to get up quickly, or I'll call the police in a bit. You're so old, and trying to extort a little money is nothing but a disgrace to your children!"
Although the passersby didn't see what happened at the beginning.
But upon seeing the Ferrari parked there, and then looking at the mother and daughter's elegant attire and the old man's simple clothes on the ground, one could guess what was going on.
Thinking about the news about elderly people faking accidents to extort money in recent years, everyone looks at them with disdain and agrees.
"I used to only see this in the news, I never thought there would actually be people faking accidents on the street like this."
"They probably targeted the mother and daughter because they were alone in a luxury car and thought they were easy to bully."
"It's not that old people have become bad, it's that bad people have grown old."
"We absolutely cannot tolerate this kind of person. If we let him get away with it this time, who knows who he'll try to scam next time!"
The old man was sweating profusely from the pain and unable to speak. Those around him, however, only thought he was guilty and looked at him with even more contempt and coldness.
"You've already been exposed, why aren't you standing up? Are you still pretending while clutching your knees?"
"Who said this old man was faking it?"
At that moment, a cold voice suddenly came from the crowd.
When everyone turned around, they saw a slender girl with beautiful, aloof features standing by the roadside.
Upon seeing Jiang Nian, Chen Fulan and Jiang Ranran were visibly surprised. Chen Fulan's eyes widened: "Jiang Nian? What are you doing here?"
Jiang Nian completely ignored them.
He walked straight over to the old man, squatted down, and said in a gentler tone, "Grandpa, your knees must hurt a lot."
"Don't move yet, let me check your injury."
As she spoke, Jiang Nian lowered her head and focused intently, placing her hand on the old man's knee to examine him.
Jiang Ranran never expected Jiang Nian to suddenly appear, and she couldn't stand Jiang Nian's pretentious act of being a good person.
She bit her lip and said, "Sister, I know you resent me and Mom and like to go against us, but I didn't know you were also following us."
"This old man is just trying to scam money by staging an accident here. How could he possibly be injured? He's definitely faking it."
Jiang Nian removed her hand from the old man's knee, stood up indifferently, and almost sneered.
"This grandpa's kneecap has been fractured and dislocated. Can you put one back on for me to see?"
"When you were backing up, didn't you realize you hit someone?"
Of course I felt it.
Seeing the sharp look Jiang Nian gave her, Chen Fulan felt a pang of guilt.
She brought Jiang Ranran out today so that they could visit the Song family patriarch, who had just returned to Jiangcheng, tonight and buy a gift for their meeting.
As it turned out, she was so focused on her phone while reversing that she didn't check the rearview mirror and didn't notice the elderly person walking by behind her. She ended up hitting the person while reversing.
Upon getting out of the car, I saw the old man lying on the ground, groaning in pain, as if he were seriously injured.
