Chapter 4
Jiang Yi was unaware that the boy was secretly watching her. Because she had helped Fu Zhaoya find the earrings, she was dressed up in a bright and beautiful outfit and stole the show at the banquet hall. Grateful for the help from the mother and daughter, Fu Zhaoya transferred 50,000 yuan to Lu Qiao to take Jiang Yi to buy new clothes and dress her up nicely.
Lu Qiao was naturally unwilling to take her money so easily, and said, "Madam, the salary you give us is already very high. Giving us more money is... not right."
Fu Zhaoya paid Lu Qiao the highest salary of all the servants in the house, and the salary increased every year, which made Lu Qiao feel embarrassed.
Fu Zhaoya held her hand and said, "The reason I pay you such a high salary is because you deserve it. You know I can't live without you."
"Take this money and buy something nice for Xiaoyi."
When Xu Wang passed by, he saw his mother's words, and a dark light flashed in his eyes.
He really thinks his mother is naive and gullible. She would insist that anyone who values someone can't live without her, which would only spoil them.
However, Fu Zhaoya is a kind person and naturally wouldn't think that much about it.
Lu Qiao is also a kind and responsible person. She appreciates Lu Zhaoya's care, so she feels very apprehensive about Fu Zhaoya's reliance on her. She only thinks about where she is not doing well and will never take advantage of her favor.
In the end, Lu Qiao was unable to get the money back, so she listened to Fu Zhaoya's advice and took Jiang Yi shopping for clothes with her on the weekend.
Since arriving here, Lu Qiao has already bought Jiang Yi quite a few clothes. Logically, she shouldn't need them, but since they were a reward from Aunt Fu, and Jiang Yi really wanted to go shopping, she went with her mother.
They went to the city's largest shopping mall, which was filled with a dazzling array of luxury items. To be honest, as the daughter of a nanny, spending so much time in such places every day could really instill unnecessary vanity.
Jiang Yi knew what kind of things she needed at each stage. Now that she was relying on her parents, she didn't need to buy such expensive clothes. So, she pulled her mother toward the door and said, "Mom, let's go look somewhere else. The things here are too expensive."
Lu Qiao had thought so before, but when she thought about her daughter studying at school and the fact that her classmates had the best food and things, she couldn't help but feel inferior, as she was from the countryside and was stuck among them.
Lu Qiao said, "Mom wants to buy you something nice so you won't feel ashamed in front of your classmates."
Her classmates' clothes are often designer brands costing tens or hundreds of thousands of yuan. If she really wanted to keep up with their spending, 50,000 yuan wouldn't be enough at all, and her mother's savings wouldn't be enough to cover it.
Jiang Yi said with a grin, "Mom, have you ever seen rich people in some places? They don't like to wear expensive clothes, they like to wear slippers and go for a walk on the street. They look like ordinary old men and women sitting in the shade on the roadside, but everyone in the neighborhood knows that their family is the richest in the area."
"If you're worried that I'll feel ashamed, just give me all the money Aunt Fu gave me as a reward. Then my wallet will be full, and I won't feel inferior anymore."
Lu Qiao was taken aback for a moment, then laughed and said, "You little money-grubber."
Lu Qiao did not give the money to Jiang Yi, of course. She was still a child, and Lu Qiao was afraid that she was too young to keep the money. However, she did promise to increase her living expenses.
From earning a little over two thousand a month to earning a little over three thousand a month, and also going back to the Xu family's place at night, Jiang Yi could save more than two thousand a month after deducting the money she spent at school. She felt that this kind of life was not bad.
Of course, she wouldn't tell her mother that she was secretly saving money, hmph!
In the end, they didn't buy any clothes there, they just browsed around. Then they went elsewhere and bought several sets of clothes that were of very good quality and style, and were dozens of times cheaper than the clothes there.
Jiang Yi used to run a clothing business when she was in college. In fact, the markup on clothes is very high. Some clothes that cost thousands or tens of thousands of yuan only cost tens or hundreds of yuan to produce.
After buying the clothes, they returned home. When they arrived, Xu Wang happened to be upstairs and opened the window. Upon seeing them return, he immediately closed the window and disappeared.
When Jiang Yi saw him, she suddenly remembered that his leg was later cured by an orthopedic doctor from a family of traditional Chinese medicine practitioners. She couldn't quite remember the doctor's name.
Forget it, the male lead has his own destiny. Changing his destiny would only affect the world. Besides, he treats her badly, so why should she help him?
She holds grudges very well.
Hmph!
In the third week after Jiang Yi arrived at the new school, her grade held a monthly test. Because she was the daughter of a nanny, some people in her class were somewhat hostile towards her. Even before she started taking the test, they were already gossiping about her.
“Every exam will divide students into classes, and some people will fall behind and drop out. That would be really embarrassing.”
"Yeah, just by relying on the Xu family, they can get into our class. When the results come out, the monster will be exposed."
"Okay, okay, it would be embarrassing if you fell down."
...
Jiang Yi was still preoccupied with the lessons she had just learned and didn't have time to pay attention to them. She picked up her bag and left.
Just then, class monitor Yu Zhe came out of the classroom. He had been observing Jiang Yi for a while and knew her entrance exam scores. He knew she wasn't like what everyone said, and he had developed a good impression of her. When he saw her walk out of the classroom, he came over to her and said, "Those people are just like that. Don't pay any attention to them."
Jiang Yi turned her head and saw the class monitor next to her.
Yu Zhe was also a handsome guy in the grade. Wearing a white shirt and white pants, he stood tall and straight like a young poplar in the wind.
Jiang Yi smiled and said, "I never really cared about them anyway."
When Yu Zhe saw the genuine smile on the girl's face, he suddenly realized how wonderful her attitude was. When he first came here, his family wasn't as well-off, but because of his good grades and the booming business of his family's company over the past two years, he gradually gained more influence in the class. Yet, this girl was completely unaffected by them. She was truly charming.
Which bus are you taking?
"Route 19".
"Perfect timing, we're going the same way."
When they arrived at the school gate, Jiang Yi felt a bit hungry, so she bought a scallion pancake with chicken cutlet and ham, and then she and Yu Zhe got on the bus together.
Yu Zhe got off the bus halfway, while she stayed on until almost the final stop.
As soon as she arrived at Xu's Garden, she saw Anan playing with Jixiang. When Jixiang saw her return, it immediately jumped over and snatched the scallion pancake from her hand. Anan hurriedly and clumsily tried to take the pancake out of the dog's mouth, only to find that it had already been half-eaten.
With sweat beading on his forehead, Anan said to Jiang Yi, "Jixiang is not usually like this. It won't eat anything when others give it to it. I don't know why, but it likes to snatch things from your mouth."
Jiang Yi ate half of the scallion pancake and then stopped, intending to eat it later. Unexpectedly, the dog snatched it away. Seeing Anan's depressed look, Jiang Yi said, "I'm fine, but the dog... I've heard that there are some things you can't eat. Do you think it's okay?"
Anan had already looked over and saw that there was nothing in the scallion pancake that couldn't be eaten. He smiled reassuringly at Jiang Bei and said, "There's nothing you can't eat."
Anan originally thought it was no big deal, but when Xu Wang found out about it, he made a big fuss by having Doctor Guan examine Jixiang. One examination came back normal, so he changed to another one, practically swearing that "Jiang Yi poisoned Jixiang."
Anan was quite embarrassed. After the vet left, he said to Xu Wang, "Young Master, I saw Xiao Yi when she came back. She was eating a scallion pancake. There won't be any problems."
The boy, sitting in his wheelchair, gave him a cold look and said, "What do you know? Even if there's no poison, maybe it's just to lower your guard."
He hadn't forgotten how Jixiang looked when he died tragically—his body was cold, his fur had lost its luster, his mouth was open, his claws had turned white, and the light in his eyes was gradually fading. It was a sight that evoked such despair.
Anan:......
It seems that the young master's paranoia is getting worse lately.
