Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Ever since Lin Qian found out that Fang Xiaonuan had married Ji Lingchen, she had been controlling herself. She had even forced herself to flatter Fang Xiaonuan, but she had not expected Fang Xiaonuan to completely ignore her. However, she did not give up and ran off to seduce Ji Wen again. She had deliberately acted pitifully in front of Ji Wen, pretending to be weak, hoping to get Ji Wen’s love. However, Ji Wen was an unromantic guy. He actually called her sick in public. From then on, every time Ji Wen saw her, he avoided her like the plague. He did not give her a chance to get close to him at all.

And Liu Siyu, who was with Ji Wen, was even more direct. She said, “Ugh, isn’t this the legendary Lin Qian, a cousin of the family that heads the Lin Corporation? Isn’t this the girl who released an indecent video? She spent money to pay off a troll army to slander my best friend, but in the end, she was mercilessly exposed!”

Her words clearly explained Lin Qian’s past scandals. Furthermore, her voice was loud, and the surrounding people all gathered around to watch, making Lin Qian very embarrassed.

From then on, Lin Qian gave up on the idea of fawning over them. However, she would secretly observe them, hoping to find something that could be used against them. This way, not only would she be able to cover up her dark history, but she would also be able to take revenge on them. Finally, she had gained something! Fang Xiaonuan had actually lied to Ji Lingchen! They clearly had no more classes, yet she had lied and said that there would be more classes in a while. She was definitely arranging a secret meeting with a man.

Lin Qian smiled. How interesting. She wanted to see what Fang Xiaonuan was about to do!

Lin Qian was not a brainless person. She would not casually spread the news that Fang Xiaonuan was married. After all, Ji Lingchen was not some street thug. He was the king of the business world in Jing City. He was someone that they often talked about in class! If she were to spread the news that Fang Xiaonuan was married to Ji Lingchen, not only would it be of no benefit to her, but it would also make Fang Xiaonuan even more popular in school!

She would not want to flatter Fang Xiaonuan like that. Furthermore, she hated Fang Xiaonuan.

There were many students on campus, so Fang Xiaonuan had no idea that she was being followed. She first went back to the classroom and asked Liu Siyu, “Are you really not coming with us?”

Liu Siyu shook her head. “My brother got off work early today and wanted me to go clothes shopping with him.”

Ji Wen raised his eyebrows and said, “Liu Siyu, although you’re supposed to accompany your brother, why do you always end up buying clothes and skirts?”

“Hmph, I’m spending my brother’s money, and my brother doesn’t have any objections. Do you have any objections?” Liu Siyu said and rolled her eyes at Ji Wen.

Fang Xiaonuan looked at Ji Wen. “Are we going or not? Dad is already waiting for us under the second tree at the eastern gate!”

Ji Wen shook his head. “I’m not going. If I go, I’ll have to pay for everything, and I’ll have to contribute. I might as well just go home.”

Fang Xiaonuan said, “I’ll pay this time.”

Ji Wen replied, “I don’t believe it. You’re so stingy!”

Fang Xiaonuan said, “It’s true. My husband has already said that he’ll pay for all my expenses!”

Ji Wen pointed out the window excitedly. “Hey, big sis, have you ever seen anyone eat at the snack street and ask for a receipt so she can get reimbursed? Have you forgotten that you secretly went there? And you even dared to ask my uncle to reimburse you?”

Fang Xiaonuan kept silent.

Liu Siyu slapped her thigh and laughed. “Hahaha, Xiaonuan, you’re going to lose money today!”

Ji Wen was not stupid. He definitely would not go!

After school, the three of them took off in different directions.

Fang Xiaonuan was carrying a backpack as she skipped out of the eastern gate. As soon as she walked out of the school gate, she saw a well-dressed old man standing by the side of the road. The old man’s hair was already more than half white, but he was full of energy. The old man was holding his hands behind his back, admiring the scenery outside the school.

Students passed by him one by one. Every one of them was so youthful and energetic. The old man smiled and nodded. He said to himself, “Well, as expected of Xiaonuan’s classmates. They are all quite energetic. All of them are handsome young men!”

“Dad, why are you standing here? Get in the car quickly.” Fang Xiaonuan quickly ran over and opened the car door. She practically grabbed Old Master Ji’s arm and led him into the car.

Then, she put down her backpack and got into the car. “Dad, Xiaowen isn’t coming. He can’t bear to spend money.”

As expected, Old Master Ji complained, “My grandson is really stingy! He can’t even bear to spend some money on his grandfather. Xiaonuan, Tell Ji Lingchen to cut off his allowance and let him have a taste of his own medicine.”

Fang Xiaonuan said, “No problem, leave it to me.”

The pair in the car did not know that someone was filming them.
