Jiang Jingxue crossed her arms and said calmly, "When did I say I would try to get him a spot to return to the city?"
"Stop pretending, I heard everything! Your sister said it herself, how could it be false?"
"Jiang Jingxue, let me tell you, if you dare to implicate Brother Pingwei and get punished, I will never let you off!"
Yue Keqi looked indignant and rattled off a whole bunch of things.
Jiang Jingxue was speechless.
"Yue Keqi, use your brain, will you?!"
"Why would I get involved in their affairs for no reason?"
After thinking about it carefully, Yue Keqi also felt that something was wrong.
Jiang Jingxue's attitude towards her mother and sister was evident to her today.
Given Jiang Jingxue's personality, she shouldn't be doing things for them.
Yue Keqi felt a little guilty, but still forced herself to ask, "If you didn't agree to her request, why did your sister spread the word everywhere?"
"I didn't reject her, but I didn't agree to her either. Maybe she's overthinking it."
Jiang Jingxue's casual remark made Yue Keqi ponder for a long time.
Coming to her senses, she asked in surprise, "Jiang Jingxue, you did this on purpose, didn't you?"
"Actually, you never intended to help her. You deliberately misled her, making her believe that this matter could definitely be accomplished!"
Jiang Jingxue neither admitted nor denied it.
She had an indifferent attitude.
“It was Jiang Zhizhi who insisted on making this boast; I never gave her any promises.”
Jiang Jingxue exonerated herself completely with just a few words.
Yue Keqi, having figured out the underlying principle, was utterly astonished.
"Jiang Jingxue, your move was too ruthless! First, you gave them the wrong signal, making them think that this was going to work out, putting them on a pedestal, and then you rejected them harshly, slapping them in the face. Your move was too clever!"
At this moment, Yue Keqi admired Jiang Jingxue immensely.
She really didn't expect that Jiang Jingxue, such a young girl, would be so resourceful and handle things so flawlessly!
No wonder her father always praised Jiang Jingxue.
Even she herself admired her to some extent.
"You're not too stupid."
"Alright, it's getting late, I need to rest, please leave."
Jiang Jingxue directly told Yue Keqi to leave.
The moment she was pushed out, looking at the door that closed mercilessly, Yue Keqi wanted to slap herself again.
She and Jiang Jingxue are rivals in love!
To idolize your love rival?
She must have taken the wrong medicine!
I almost fell for that wicked woman again!
Yue Keqi rolled her eyes and walked towards her room.
After walking a few steps, they bumped into Gu Pingwei.
Yue Keqi quickly grabbed Gu Pingwei's sleeve and began to badmouth him.
“Brother Pingwei, I just heard Jiang Jingxue’s sister, Jiang Zhizhi, say that they came here to ask you to help a former educated youth named Chen Yuyan get a spot to return to the city.”
"That Chen educated youth must have had a good relationship with Jiang Jingxue before, otherwise how could they have found this place?"
Yue Keqi rambled on and on about all sorts of things.
Gu Pingwei calmly withdrew his sleeve.
"Stop talking so much, go back and rest."
"Brother Pingwei, I'm telling the truth!"
Gu Pingwei ignored her and went straight back to his room.
Although he appeared calm on the surface, he was constantly thinking about that educated youth, Chen.
Jiang Jingxue and he used to live in the same village, and they saw each other all the time. Could it be that they really hit it off?
Before bed.
As usual, Jiang Jingxue gave Gu Pingwei a foot bath and acupuncture.
Gu Pingwei coughed lightly and asked, "Jingxue, how many educated youths were sent to the countryside in your village?"
As Jiang Jingxue administered the acupuncture, she answered, "Eight."
Are they all men?
"Six men and two women."
"Was there another educated youth surnamed Chen?"
"Yes, Chen Yuyan. How did you know?"
"I overheard someone mention it by chance."
"How old is this Chen, the educated youth? What does he look like?"
"He's about twenty-four or twenty-five years old, quite good-looking, and rather tall. He's quite a handsome man."
"Then, there must be quite a few girls who like him, right?"
The more Jiang Jingxue listened, the more she felt something was wrong.
Why did she feel that Gu Pingwei was so interested in Chen Yuyan's affairs?
Could it be that they heard some rumors and misunderstood something?
Jiang Jingxue understood Gu Pingwei's little scheme; in the end, he was just a little jealous.
She simply told him the truth without hesitation.
"Gu Pingwei, don't worry, Chen Yuyan isn't my type, I have no interest in him at all!"
"He's a terrible person, greedy, always trying to take advantage of others, and full of scheming tricks. Even if every man in the world died, I wouldn't be interested in him!"
When Jiang Jingxue mentioned Chen Yuyan, the look of disgust on her face seemed genuine, which put Gu Pingwei at ease.
"It's nothing, I was just asking."
Gu Pingwei spoke as if nothing was wrong, but he was secretly overjoyed.
Jiang Jingxue couldn't help but tease him.
"Gu Pingwei, next time you're jealous, just tell me directly. Don't beat around the bush."
Gu Pingwei looked somewhat unnatural after being exposed.
"Who said I'm jealous? Not at all!"
He's stubborn and refuses to admit it.
"So what if you're jealous? I won't laugh at you."
Jiang Jingxue continued to tease him.
Gu Pingwei didn't want Jiang Jingxue to bring up the matter again.
He's also someone who cares about his image.
