Chapter 314 Vampires in a Western Fantasy World (7)
Jiang Yue checked the message but didn't reply. Class was about to start, so she decided to explain when the other girls arrived. After a while, her friends arrived and, seeing that Jiang Yue still dared to come to class, they urged her to ask for leave and go home. One of her friends was even about to call her father, who was a policeman, but Jiang Yue quickly stopped them.
"Give me some confidence, okay? I'm not so easy to bully. See that guy outside? He was sent by my family yesterday. He can guarantee my safety."
To avoid seeming too abrupt, Jiang Yue hired a puppet as a bodyguard. Dressed in a suit with a bulging waist, the puppet successfully fooled her girlfriends, who then relaxed and began to blame Jiang Yue for not telling them sooner, making them worry all night. Finally, Jiang Yue said she would treat them to a big meal on the weekend to soothe their wounded hearts, and they chose to forgive her.
Throughout the morning, Jiang Yue was followed by people whispering behind her back. This was mainly because the news of the Edmund family's incident had not yet spread. She estimated that there wouldn't be so many eyes on her tomorrow. Jiang Yue suddenly thought that Alex should thank her for helping him share a lot of the attention.
Jiang Yue finally breathed a sigh of relief after school. Her senses were incredibly sharp now, and she could spot anyone staring at her from behind. She felt terrible all day, and only relaxed when she got into the car and closed the window. She hoped that nothing like this would ever happen again.
Jiang Yue had been hoping things would be better by tomorrow, but then the news of Edmund's family being arrested spread that evening. Everyone except his few cronies was overjoyed that such a school bully had been caught. People who had been bullied before were celebrating in the group chat, and one of her girlfriends even asked Jiang Yue if she was the one who did it.
Of course, Jiang Yue wouldn't admit it. After spouting nonsense, her friends were successfully misled into thinking it was a coincidence. The next day at school, the hottest gossip became the downfall of the Edmund family, and the news about Alex dating a girlfriend and Jiang Yue being punished was overshadowed.
...
The annual graduation ceremony was held as scheduled.
The high school in the small town has a small student body; only a few dozen students graduated in Jiang Yue's year.
For many people, graduating from high school signifies the complete end of their education, after which they go on to work as laborers or in small-town shopping malls, etc.
Dozens of students were seated, mostly with their parents or guardians. This was the first time Mr. and Mrs. Jiang had come back, as their first high school graduation was a memorable occasion. The usually sparsely populated meeting room was packed today.
Jiang Yue, dressed in her graduation gown and cap, chatted with her classmates, discussing which university they would attend and what university life would be like.
Jiang Yue's Stanford University is undoubtedly a focal point. Foreigners aren't stupid; they understand the difference between prestigious and ordinary universities. However, she's not the only one who attends a prestigious university; at least the five main characters also attend top universities.
At first, Jiang Yue thought there would be retaliation after reporting him, but it's strange that there was no follow-up. It's also strange that nothing bad happened to the protagonist.
While chatting, one of the girls brought up the issue of tuition fees: "Isabel is okay, her family doesn't seem to lack money, and Alex and the others probably don't either, but what about the rest of us? It's forty or fifty thousand US dollars a year, and I've only saved a few thousand US dollars so far. If that doesn't work, I'll have to take out a loan."
"I either apply for a scholarship or a loan. There's no other way. My family can only support me with some money each year for living expenses. If I want to live a good life, I have to find my own way."
Jiang Yue isn't short of money; she hasn't even spent all the money her parents gave her. She hasn't spent much in the past few years, and she sold the used car she bought before through David. You know, after driving it for four years, she basically didn't lose money; in fact, she bought it for a few hundred dollars more.
There was nothing to look forward to at the school's graduation ceremony, since most people lived in the town and would continue to live there in the future, so there was no issue of separation. They would see each other all the time. Everyone's attention was focused on the dance party that evening.
After the graduation ceremony, Jiang Yue returned home with her parents. Lydia and Allen brought her a gift. After opening the gift package, Jiang Yue saw that it contained several bags of human blood. She looked at it with disdain and closed the box.
"Dear Mom, you might as well just give me the cash back for the money I spent on blood!"
"Oh my god! Isabel, have you always been a vegetarian?"
"yes."
"Okay, I thought you would really like this gift. Well, you can keep it for your dad. It's not possible to get cash for it."
After showing her parents around the house, Jiang Yue arrived at the dance party at 7 p.m.
Today was an important day, so Jiang Yue specially changed into a beautiful dress, had her hair done, and wore a set of jewelry given to her by her parents. Her already exquisite face looked even more radiant.
The graduation ball was very formal; the girls wore evening gowns and the boys wore suits, shirts, and ties.
As they walked along, they chatted with people they knew and didn't know on this special day. As the main characters of the graduation ball, each of them would invite a dance partner. Jiang Yue hadn't originally planned to invite anyone; she just wanted to come and join in the fun.
However, Lydia and Allen disagreed, believing it would be a shame not to dance at the prom. But due to Jiang Yue's resistance, Allen ended up being her dance partner.
After she finished dancing, quite a few people came over to invite her, after all, she had become even more beautiful in recent years. However, Jiang Yue ultimately declined. Then she saw Evelyn's two wings, a werewolf and Alex. If the occasion hadn't been inappropriate, Jiang Yue probably would have started a fight with them.
The graduation ball ended promptly at 10:30 p.m. Jiang Yue went to find Allen and Lydia, who were chatting with Alex's parents. Unexpectedly, they had met hundreds of years ago and even made an appointment to have dinner together before leaving.
The next day, the two families got together, and then Allen and Lydia left. Before leaving, they gave Jiang Yue another $1 million, but they also said that they would not care how she lived after that, and that whether she lived well or not depended entirely on her own efforts.
After seeing her parents off, Jiang Yue tidied up the house and temporarily put away the wizard tower. Then, she bought a nicer car through David. After everything was ready, Jiang Yue had a meal with her girlfriends, then strolled around the town. After that, she asked one of her girlfriends to help her look at a house.
After all, the house was also Jiang Yue's asset. It was still uncertain whether to buy it or what to do. She could only ask someone to keep an eye on it to prevent it from being taken over by homeless people. After explaining the situation and saying goodbye to everyone, she embarked on her journey to school.
