It's obvious that Jiang Ning is probably very envious of her current status.
But some things can't be obtained simply by envying them.
"Really, Miss Shi?" Wang Huihui and Zhou Yuting were both very excited.
"Of course it's true. I've already told my driver, and my family's car will be here to pick us up soon."
"Thank you, Ms. Shi!"
Ma Zhaodi looked at Jiang Ning and Xia Ying, "So, what are we going out to eat tonight?"
"Let's have some mala tang (spicy hot pot), I haven't had it in ages," Jiang Ning suggested.
Upon hearing Jiang Ning's answer, Shi Lu rolled her eyes.
Mala Tang?
It's estimated that Jiang Ning's knowledge is limited to low-level roadside stalls like mala tang!
Xia Ying agreed, "Yes, yes, I haven't had it in a long time either."
Ma Zhaodi frowned slightly, "Isn't it a bit inappropriate for me to treat you two to spicy hot pot on our first meal?"
Mala Tang is so cheap, even if three people eat their fill, it will only cost a hundred yuan at most.
"It's alright, it's alright. The important thing about treating someone is the thought, not the price," Jiang Ning continued. "The thought is what matters, and besides, I really want to eat mala tang!"
Xia Ying nodded. "Ningning is right, so Xiao Si, your most important task now is to quickly find a good mala tang (spicy hot pot) place."
"Okay, I'll look for it on Kuaiyin right away."

A week has passed in the blink of an eye.
That afternoon, Jiang Ning received a WeChat message from Si Xubei: "[Shengbao, I've arrived at Peking University. I'm at the school gate now.]"
Okay, fourth brother, I'll be right there.
Jiang Ning put away her phone and went to the school gate.
All I could see was...
Si Xubei was standing there.
Furthermore, he didn't come alone; there was a girl standing next to him.
If Jiang Ning wasn't mistaken, the girl standing next to Si Xubei was Yue Qianlan, and the two were holding hands, very affectionate.
At this moment, Yue Qianlan was waving at Jiang Ning, "Ningning, over here."
Jiang Ning jogged over, her gaze falling on the two men's intertwined hands. "Fourth Brother, March, you two, what's going on...?"
Si Xubei smiled and said, "Shengbao, as you can see, we're together now."
"How long have you two been secretly seeing each other?" Jiang Ning asked.
Jiang Ning truly never expected that Si Xubei and Yue Qianlan would end up together.
Yue Qianlan is Si Xuxia's savior, and according to the tropes of romance novels, they are more likely to become a couple.
Si Xubei replied, "It's been almost three months."
Yue Qianlan immediately went over and took Jiang Ning's hand, saying ingratiatingly, "Ningning, don't be angry. I didn't mean to hide it from you before. I just felt that my feelings for him weren't there yet. Now that they are, you're the first person we told!"
Jiang Ning smiled and said, "I wasn't angry in March. Seeing you and Fourth Brother together makes me very happy. I wish you a long and happy life together."
Hearing this, Yue Qianlan breathed a sigh of relief and hugged Jiang Ning's arm, then began to act coquettishly, "I knew Ningning was the best, we two are the best in the world."
“That’s right,” Jiang Ning nodded slightly, “We two are the best of friends in the world.”
Si Xubei looked at Jiang Ning, "Shengbao, I booked a restaurant nearby. Shall we go eat now? We can chat while we eat?"
"OK."
Before long, the three arrived at the restaurant that Si Xubei had booked in advance.
During their conversation, Jiang Ning learned that Si Xubei had come to Beijing at the invitation of Peking University to attend a lecture.
Si Xubei is a PhD graduate from a prestigious international university and one of the youngest successful entrepreneurs. He declined several invitations from Peking University.
There are two reasons why I agreed this time.
One reason is that Jiang Ning is studying at Peking University.
Secondly, it's because my girlfriend is studying in Beijing.
Laughter filled the private room. The three were family, friends, and lovers, and they chatted amiably about everything under the sun.
Yue Qianlan smiled and said, "Ningning, how about this, I have something to do tomorrow, how about we invite your partner out the day after tomorrow, and have a meal together?"
"Okay." Jiang Ning nodded slightly. "I'll talk to him about it tonight."

The next morning.
Inside the dormitory.
Wang Huihui and Zhou Yuting went out for a run. Ma Zhaodi and Xia Ying were also not there. Jiang Ning answered a phone call and hurriedly left. Shi Lu looked at the empty dormitory, then at Jiang Ning's bed, and narrowed her eyes.
afternoon.
When Jiang Ning and Xia Ying returned to their dormitory after finishing their elective class, they saw Shi Lu with red eyes, looking for something.
Wang Huihui and Zhou Yuting were also busy searching, and Shi Lu's bed was in a mess.
Shi Lu continued, "That necklace was a 19th birthday gift from my mom. It's very precious! It cost over 200,000 yuan!"
"200,000?" Upon hearing this, Zhou Yuting's eyes widened in astonishment. "Miss Shi, how could you keep such a precious thing in your dorm? You know how messy our dorm is, with all sorts of people from all walks of life here!"
Speaking of Zhou Yuting, she specifically glanced at Jiang Ning and Xia Ying, who had just entered.
Xia Ying frowned and said, "Stop making veiled accusations. There are only six people in the dormitory. Who would steal her things? Don't mention 200,000, even if it were 2 million, we wouldn't give it a second glance."
"I didn't name names and say you stole it, why are you in such a hurry? I think you're just feeling guilty."
Xia Ying wanted to say something more, but Jiang Ning tugged at her arm and whispered a reminder, "Xia Ying, don't fall into the trap of self-proof."
Hearing this, Xia Ying finally suppressed her anger.
Shi Lu then spoke up, "Yu Ting, stop arguing. If you have time, help me find the necklace! It's worth 200,000!"
Criminal cases can be filed with a threshold of 3,000.
200,000......
This is enough to give Jiang Ning a hard time.
"Yes, Miss Shi."
Wang Huihui continued, "But we've searched all three of our beds, even under the beds, and we can't find it! Where could this necklace have gone, Miss Shi? Did you bring it to school?"
"I remember bringing it with me."
Zhou Yuting narrowed her eyes. "Although we've searched all three of our beds, we haven't searched the other people's beds yet, have we?"
Wang Huihui suddenly realized something and turned to look at Jiang Ning, Xia Ying, and Ma Zhaodi. "Right, their beds haven't been searched yet!"
Shi Lu walked up to Jiang Ning and said, "Get out of the way! I need to search your bed. You two go search their beds!"
"OK."
Wang Huihui and Zhou Yuting immediately went to the other two beds.
"If your things are missing, go to the police. What kind of skill is it to make wild guesses about others here?" Jiang Ning stood in front of Shi Lu and said, word by word, "Even the police need a search warrant to search something. What right do the three of you have to search our beds?"
After saying that, Jiang Ning picked up her phone and dialed the police: "Hello, I want to report a crime. This is Room 603, Building 110, Girls' Dormitory, B, Beijing University! Someone in our dormitory has lost a necklace worth 200,000 yuan."
Shi Lu raised her eyebrows slightly.
Should I proactively call the police?
Jiang Ning has some brains, but not many.
Do you really think calling the police will clear her name?
Zhou Yuting narrowed her eyes. "Miss Shi, I think the thief must be Jiang Ning! The reason she dared to call the police is that she must have hidden the necklace outside the school a long time ago. Didn't Mr. Si come to the school to attend a lecture recently? You are his own sister! And the apple of the eye of the entire Si family. Why don't I go and invite Mr. Si over to uphold justice for you?"
Please invite Si Xubei?
Upon hearing this, Shi Lu's face turned pale.
If Si Xubei were invited, wouldn't her true identity as a fake heiress be exposed?
Thinking of this, Shi Lu immediately said, "Let's not go. I don't want to trouble my fourth brother over such a small matter."
Wang Huihui continued, "200,000 is no small matter! It's enough to sentence some people to several years in prison. Miss Shi, you're just too kind! If you won't go, I will. Otherwise, some people will think you're easy to bully! You wait, I'll be right back."
After saying that, Wang Huihui turned and ran away, and Shi Lu couldn't stop her.
