Chapter 33
Shen Jianye heard the sound of the door opening, and subconsciously opened the door and walked out, but when he went out, he could only see Jiang Rong's back. He didn't even have the chance to say anything. Jiang Rong was almost running, and she disappeared in the blink of an eye.
The refusal was so obvious that those who didn't know would think someone was chasing him. Shen Jianye didn't hurry to follow. He just lowered his eyes and glanced at his phone. He didn't quite understand why Jiang Rong was angry again. Obviously, when the two of them were chatting just now, Jiang Rong was willing to answer his questions. He thought the relationship between the two had eased.
After all, if she was still angry, she should have ignored me like she did last night.
He frowned slightly, but what was even more strange was that Jiang Rong said she had something to do that night. What could she have?
He couldn't think of anything, so he could only send a message to Lin Yue. Lin Yue was still a little reluctant: "I'll help you again, Rongrong, why don't you be with me?"
Shen Jianye unceremoniously offered temptation: [I will arrange an overseas trip for your whole family during the National Day holiday. No overtime, and I will pay for all the expenses.]
Lin Yue was happy, and her original chattering disappeared instantly. She directly replied with an emoticon package that said "Guaranteed to complete the task". Shen Jianye put away his phone and sighed. While making coffee, he was thinking about Jiang Rong absent-mindedly and did not notice that there was a man wearing a mask and sunglasses sitting in the corner of the coffee shop.
Meanwhile, Lin Yue put her phone away, turned it off, and stuffed it into her schoolbag. After ensuring no one could see her, she boldly stepped off the bus. As soon as she got off the bus, she spotted Jiang Rong's figure at the school gate. She hurried over, intending to pat her on the shoulder and greet her, but sensing the low pressure emanating from Jiang Rong, she instead called out, "Jiang Rong!"
"Why are you here so early today?"
Jiang Rong turned around to look at Lin Yue and greeted her with a smile: "Lin Yue, you're up early today too."
Lin Yue smiled awkwardly: “I’m sorry, Shen Jianye and I have planned something.”
Jiang Rong smiled, and her smile was a little creepy: “It’s okay, you are just confessing your feelings, Shen Jianye has lied to me about many things.”
Lin Yue couldn't help but exclaim, "Huh?" Her curiosity was stirring, and she quickly asked, "What's the matter? What did he lie to you about?"
Jiang Rong picked out some complaints, mainly about the fact that Shen Jianye was the landlord: “I have been living alone in my house since my parents had an accident. I only found out these few days that I was renting a house, and then the neighbor told me that the landlord came to ask for rent.”
Then he talked about Shen Jianye chatting with him, and kept silent about his identity as the landlord.
Lin Yue pursed her lips. It was indeed very uncomfortable to be deceived. She was definitely on Jiang Rong's side unconditionally, so she turned against her without a second thought: "No wonder, you didn't even know, and he even asked me to ask you where you were going tonight."
Jiang Rong frowned in confusion, and Lin Yue scratched his head awkwardly: "Because he is an important client of my father."
“You can’t tell Shen Jianye, I told you everything.”
The two looked at each other and threw the pot on Shen Jianye without any hesitation: “Shen Jianye is really a piece of shit.”
They stepped into the classroom together. The students in the classroom were silent for a moment. It seemed that they all knew the result of yesterday's incident. One by one, they no longer looked at Jiang Rong with strange eyes. Some of the brave ones even walked up to Jiang Rong and said sorry.
Jiang Rong smiled and responded one by one: "It's okay."
"Thanks."
But after Teacher Wang was transferred, the head teacher who would appear at the classroom door during morning reading became the grade director. Just when everyone thought it was the grade director who was going to lead them, he cleared his throat on the podium:
"Your homeroom teacher has been transferred to another school due to some issues. It would be irresponsible of you to replace him with an inexperienced teacher in your senior year. So, we have rehired an experienced teacher and will replace you when a suitable teacher is found."
After saying that, he glanced around the classroom in a warning tone: "This is an old teacher, everyone, behave yourself. If anyone makes the teacher angry, you will be held responsible."
There were a few naughty boys sitting in the back. They had been pampered by Teacher Wang every day. They looked at each other, and no one knew what they were thinking until the old teacher standing at the door came in.
With silver-white hair and thin-framed glasses, she just lowered her eyes to look at the audience and pushed up her glasses, and the boys instantly fell silent, as if they had not expected the old teacher's pressure to be so strong. She could feel the oppression emanating from within without even saying a word.
For a moment, only Jiang Rong's mouth opened wide in surprise. Lin Yue looked over in confusion. Jiang Rong quickly lowered her voice and explained, "She is my cram school teacher."
Lin Yue was also a little surprised: "I haven't gone yet, why didn't you tell me that the teacher's pressure is so strong!"
Jiang Rong thought Teacher Yang was okay, but she did have the vibe of an experienced teacher.
The head teacher, Mr. Zhou, was very satisfied with the students' quiet attitude. He smiled and said a few polite words: "Then I will leave it to Mr. Yang. I will be leaving now. If you have any other needs, please let me know."
Teacher Yang nodded and wrote her last name on the blackboard. "Just call me Teacher Yang. I'll be teaching you math for the next while."
"Who is the math class representative?"
The girl sitting in the front row raised her hand and replied, "Teacher, the class monitor has also transferred to another school."
Teacher Yang raised an eyebrow and said, "Let's do this for now."
She tidied the table and then called Jiang Rong over. Lin Yue was a little worried, but Jiang Rong also seemed to have something to say to Teacher Yang, so she smiled reassuringly and then walked out.
Probably because she was a senior teacher, or perhaps because she came later, she had a small office of her own. Teacher Yang pulled out a stool and sat down. As soon as she entered, Jiang Rong couldn't help but ask, "Teacher Yang, why are you here?!"
She thought she was very familiar with Teacher Yang, but there was something strange about Teacher Yang. She raised the corners of her mouth slightly, not knowing if it was her illusion, but she always felt that there seemed to be tears in her eyes.
Before Jiang Rong could observe carefully, she lowered her head, sighed, and asked with a smile: "Teacher, can I call you Rongrong?"
Jiang Rong blinked a little confused, but still nodded and said, "Okay."
Teacher Yang explained with a smile: "It was mainly because I met Teacher Zhou that day. He invited me to come here to teach."
Jiang Rong frowned: "Teacher, what about your husband?"
The smile on Teacher Yang's face grew softer. "Because I'm a rehired teacher, or part-time, I have a lot of flexibility. He always asks me why I don't go to work. He used to come to school all the time, so I plan to take him back to visit some of the places he's been to."
Jiang Rong said "Oh" weakly, but before she could ask about the cram school, Teacher Yang took the initiative to say, "As for the cram school, it's actually free to begin with. It was a friend's grandson who first came to us for help, and then the number of people who came became larger and larger. There's nothing wrong with free cram school."
"By the way, would it be convenient for the teacher to visit your home tonight?"
Jiang Rong felt it was a little strange, but it should be fine at night, so she nodded and narrowed her eyes: "We weren't far away anyway."
Jiang Rong left first. When Lin Yue saw her come back, she asked curiously, "What's wrong? What did she call you for?"
Jiang Rong didn't quite understand, but she still said, "The teacher said she would come to my house for a home visit."
“I guess he wants to find Shen Jianye.”
Lin Yue twitched the corner of her mouth: "But aren't you in a cold war with him?"
Jiang Rong had almost forgotten about it. She was so happy that Teacher Yang had been rehired as her homeroom teacher that she pursed her lips and said, "It's okay. We'll figure it out when the time comes."
Although she said so, she was still a little entangled until school was over. She stood inside the door and looked at Shen Jianye's car not far away. After thinking about it, she walked out from the side door first.
She hadn't figured out how to start the conversation or how the two of them would get along.
Just as she turned into a small alley, suddenly a piece of rough cloth covered her mouth and nose tightly from behind. A strange smell filled her nasal cavity, and Jiang Rong's body softened and fell into the arms of the person behind her.
When Jiang Rong regained consciousness, she was sitting on a soft carpet. The unusual touch clearly showed it was not a cheap carpet. Jiang Rong subconsciously shrank back, only to find that her wrists had been tied.
Jiang Rong swallowed nervously and was about to look around when a man chuckled not far away. Jiang Rong looked up and saw a man sitting on the sofa with a huge family portrait behind him. He was shaking the goblet in his hand, and the red wine was swaying in the glass. Noticing Jiang Rong's awakening, he raised his lips slightly and said, "Did you know?"
“Shen Jianye is actually an unloved and unrecognized illegitimate child.”
After taking a sip, he slowly walked over and squatted in front of Jiang Rong, lifting her chin with his hand: "Why would someone like him be loved by others?"
Jiang Rong subconsciously dodged back for a moment, but the man's eyes clearly showed only admiration, and he smiled slightly: "Don't be afraid, I'm not going to hurt you, Shen Jianye is a dog, do you think he thinks you are dirty?"
Jiang Rong noticed the madness in the man's eyes. She didn't say anything for a moment, fearing to irritate him. However, he was very satisfied with Jiang Rong's silence. He put down his hand and stood up again: "In fact, he has no heart at all."
"My mom was so good to him, but after she died, he forced my dad to admit he was sorry to her. What gives him the right?!"
Jiang Rong didn't respond, but the man laughed. He looked crazy and his words were completely incoherent. He didn't care whether Jiang Rong wanted to listen or not, but just smiled and said:
“Forget it, I guess you don’t really want to know about our family affairs, but I know you, Jiang Rong, are you wondering why Shen Jianye agreed to live with you, support you, and treat you so well?”
Jiang Rong looked at him with a wicked smile: "Of course it's because he took advantage of you. You should have sensed it too. He actually has a very bad personality."
When it comes to this, Jiang Rong also became a little angry. If there were some joints that she hadn't figured out before, after the man said this, Jiang Rong thought about it again, and suddenly realized that she thought she was overthinking about the previous things, but now thinking about it, it was clearly Shen Jianye's true feelings.
The man smiled slightly and squatted in front of Jiang Rong: “Do you want to bet with me, betting whether Shen Jianye will come, in exchange for proving his identity to his mother, he can also return to the Shen family as a condition.”
"It depends on whether you are more important or he is more important."
He looked very confident. If he hadn’t been punched in the face by Shen Jianye who rushed into the house ten minutes later, the man would have covered his face in anger and surprise: “How did you know she was here with me?!”
Jiang Rong realized that he had not sent the location to Shen Jianye at all.
Shen Jianye smiled, and punched him on the other half of his face without any hesitation: "Guess?"
"Chen Yu'an, you are really crazy, send the young master to the hospital to recuperate."
The next words he said were obviously directed at the servant outside the house. The expression on the man's face became more and more crazy: "Why, why, why? If I don't live well, you won't live well either!!"
Jiang Rong watched him raise the steak knife and rush over with a crazy look. She subconsciously closed her eyes and only heard the sound of the knife piercing the cloth and inserting into the flesh. However, she did not feel any pain, only the warmth of being held in someone's arms. When she opened her eyes again, she saw Shen Yu'an being taken away, and Shen Jianye had a knife stuck in his shoulder. His face was pale, but he was still smiling at her.
Jiang Rong was unable to come back to her senses. She tried to bite the hemp rope with her teeth and frantically called an ambulance. She was still a little dazed when she saw Teacher Yang appear at the door. But Shen Jianye was still smiling there and explained to Jiang Rong: "Teacher Yang is actually your grandmother. She wanted to give you a surprise tonight."
"By the way, do you forgive me now?"
Jiang Rong and Shen Jianye were in the ambulance, and they were still a little slow to react. When they heard his words, they laughed out loud: "It's already this late, and what you did doesn't have to go to this extent."
Shen Jianye turned his head away, muttering, “That’s hard to say.”
With the doctor's care, Jiang Rong couldn't help but count on her fingers: "First of all, you are the landlord who didn't tell me, and secondly, you were not sincere to me from the beginning!"
Obviously Jiang Rong didn't touch him, but Shen Jianye deliberately cried out "Ouch, ouch". Jiang Rong was nervous to check on him, but found that the doctor shook his head quietly at her, so she sneered: "Shen Jianye, why didn't I realize that you are so shameless before?"
Shen Jianye smiled: “Then let’s get to know each other again, my name is Shen Jianye.”
"Will you be my girlfriend?"
