Chapter 250 New Mission
The light was still on in Jiang Mi's room, but two maids were waiting outside. He called out softly and whispered, "You two come here, don't disturb Mi Tang."
Siqin and Huamo exchanged a confused look, then walked over: "Third Young Master, is there something you need us for?"
Jiang Zhi glanced around the room, which seemed to be quiet, so he asked in a low voice, "I'm asking you, how is Miss now?"
Siqin sighed, "She went to bed as soon as she got back, but wouldn't let us blow out the lamp. We were worried that Miss might have some instructions later, so we prepared to take turns waiting outside."
The two maids were quite diligent, and Jiang Zhi was very satisfied: "It's cold outside, so you can wait in the side room next door. You've been with Miss all day, do you know why she's like this, and what exactly happened?"
Siqin and Mohua exchanged a glance and whispered, "Well... we can't really say for sure. After all, we've only been with Miss for a short time, so we don't dare to say or ask anything. But... it seems like it's because we had a few words with Young Master Huo."
"What?" Jiang Zhi was taken aback. He remembered that Huo Ran had always been very good to Jiang Mi, so how could he possibly quarrel with Mi Tang? Could it be that he had revealed his true colors once he came to his territory?
"Why are you arguing? Did you hear what you were arguing about?"
Mo Hua recalled, "It seems that Young Master Huo was hiding something from Miss, and Miss was unhappy, so she argued with Young Master Huo. Young Master Huo kept apologizing to Miss, but Miss just couldn't accept it."
"Did Huo Ran upset Honey?" Jiang Zhi thought for a moment. Could it be that Huo Ran did something to offend Honey? But the two of them should be very polite to each other. Why are they acting like a hot-tempered young couple?
Thinking about this, Jiang Zhi suddenly realized why he always felt something was wrong. The problem lay here. Now, recalling everything that had happened before, he finally understood why Huo Ran had been following Jiang Mi and being so attentive to her, and even to the entire Jiang family. It turned out that he had this in mind.
Jiang Zhi was immediately displeased. Someone who wanted to covet their Honey had made Honey so unhappy. It seemed that Huo Ran was no longer qualified to be their brother-in-law.
"I understand. Don't tell Miss that I came to see you. If anything happens, you must tell me and the Second Young Master immediately. We absolutely cannot let Honey be bullied."
"Yes." The two answered in unison. Just as Jiang Zhi was about to leave, Si Qin suddenly called out to him.
"Third Young Master, I just remembered something else. Before Young Master Huo and Miss argued today, they originally said they were going to release lanterns and play. But then a Miss surnamed Liu came and argued with our Miss for a few words. After she was angered by Miss and Young Master Huo, she left, and that's when Miss and Young Master Huo started arguing."
Jiang Zhi nodded knowingly. It must be that Huo Ran is fickle and flirts with other women, which is why he attracted other women to his door. Now he still wants to deceive his sweetheart. It will be impossible for Huo Ran to get close to his sweetheart again in the future!
"I understand, you can go back now."
Jiang Zhi stormed off, but unfortunately Jiang Xuan hadn't returned yet. He could only hold his anger and wait until Jiang Xuan came back so he could have a proper talk with her.
Jiang Mi wasn't asleep. She heard some commotion outside, but she was too preoccupied to stop it. Her two brothers were definitely worried about her, but she had no time to comfort them. Why did Huo Ran have to be in this situation?
That Liu Zijun isn't lowly either; she's the daughter of a high-ranking prime minister. And what is she? Just a country bumpkin who only got to where she is today because of the system. Otherwise, she'd still be drinking vegetable soup in a dilapidated village.
Suddenly…
Thinking back to their first meeting, this man was extraordinary; he couldn't possibly be someone raised in a small place like theirs. Forget it, I shouldn't think about it anymore. Their social statuses are too different; they're not suitable to be together. I should just give up on that idea.
From now on, he will walk his sunny path, and she will walk her narrow bridge. That's for the best. Let's just treat it as a dream.
Just
At this moment, the system voice, which had been silent for a long time, suddenly rang out.
A new mission is coming! Don't be sad, you've got a new reward!
Upon hearing this, Jiang Mi immediately perked up. She remembered her previous thoughts: to live for herself and her family, not for a man. She wanted to work hard to run her business and not let a man get her down.
"Tell me, what's the mission?"
The system's voice suddenly turned slightly mischievous: "The mission is to suppress Liu Zijun and humiliate her in public."
"What? I have to see that woman again? Are you kidding me?" Jiang Mi was speechless. What kind of broken system is this? It clearly knows she's sad and upset, yet it still assigns her this kind of task!
Of course there's no mistake! Don't you want to know what your reward is?
Jiang Mi didn't want to know at all. She had just thought she had nothing to do with Huo Ran anymore, so why was she still involved with Liu Zijun? What was going on?
"I don't want to. Can I change the task?"
The system coldly replied, "No, once a mission is assigned, it cannot be changed. Haven't you received an electric shock in a long time? Are you missing that feeling?"
Ginger Honey: "..."
"No, I don't miss it at all. So what's the reward?"
System: [The reward is that you will gain the favor of a very important person, which will greatly benefit your future development in the capital.]
Jiang Mi tentatively asked, "The big shot you're talking about, you wouldn't happen to be Huo Ran, would you?"
System: [Of course not. If it were him, it would be so uninteresting.]
Jiang Mi breathed a sigh of relief. She didn't know why she felt relieved. Perhaps after what happened today, she didn't want to see Huo Ran for the time being.
"How can I embarrass her in public? She's the daughter of the Prime Minister's family; how can I possibly meet her?"
System: [That depends on your efforts and fate. It's a secret, so I won't say more. Continue to be sad.]
So this system knows everything, and even gave her this kind of task. Oh well, at least this task is good for Jiang Mi, making Liu Zijun look bad...
If I offend the Prime Minister's office, will I have a good outcome?
But offending the system seems even worse; she's in a difficult position either way, so whatever.
Jiang Mi didn't fall asleep for a long time that night, and when she woke up, it was already noon.
Jiang Zhi and Jiang Xuan still went to the academy, along with some servants and maids.
