The next morning.
As soon as Jiang Che stepped out the door, he encountered Ye Mengyao and Yu Wan'er.
Perhaps Ye Mengyao had been waiting by the door for quite some time.
Today, the young girl was dressed in a school uniform, with a single ponytail, white sneakers, and bubble socks, resembling the female lead of a Japanese anime set in a school.
This outfit caught Jiang Che's eye, showcasing Ye Mengyao's high potential for transformation. This kind of youthful charm was no less enticing to men than Yu Wan'er's sweet and petite allure!
"Jiang Che, what a... what a coincidence! Would you like to ride to school with us in our family car?"
Ye Mengyao nervously spoke, pulling Yu Wan'er over beside her, her cheeks flushed with embarrassment.
Jiang Che: "......"
A coincidence? You're practically blocking my doorstep; how is that a coincidence?
Although the Ye family and Jiang Che both lived in the same district, they were about a kilometer apart. Clearly, Ye Mengyao's words held no credibility.
"No, I'll drive myself."
Jiang Che maintained his usual cold demeanor, but Ye Mengyao didn't back down. She was gradually getting used to Jiang Che's frosty expressions, but she believed... her sincere heart would eventually win him over.
"Driving yourself is fine too! I... and Wan'er can ride with you to school," Ye Mengyao was determined to be thick-skinned.
A few days ago, she had cried to her mother for help, and her mother had advised her... to win Jiang Che back, she had to be bold and not shy away, or there would be no hope.
Ye Mengyao then turned to Li the Steward, who was driving, and waved, "Steward Li, you can go home now. Wan'er and I will ride with Jiang Che to school."
Li the Steward: "......"
Ye Mengyao's sudden boldness almost caught Jiang Che off guard.
"Jiang Che, you wouldn't just let Wan'er and me walk back to school, would you?"
Ye Mengyao held Yu Wan'er's hand, the two beautiful girls together were a sight to behold, especially with Ye Mengyao's playful tone.
"Come along, you two can sit in the back," Jiang Che's eyes conveyed a sense of 'disgust.'
Ye Mengyao was slightly stunned, but then a wave of joy overwhelmed her.
She hadn't expected Jiang Che to actually let her get into the car, considering how much he used to dislike her.
Ye Mengyao was now so deeply pained by Jiang Che's indifference that any hint of warmth from him was magnified in her mind... ultimately leading to the thought:
He still likes me.
Once in the car, Ye Mengyao didn't dare engage Jiang Che in much conversation, fearing she might say something wrong and provoke his annoyance.
"Jiang Che, was the dress photo I sent you yesterday really not good-looking?" the girl hesitated for a while before finally speaking up.
Jiang Che's mouth twitched. How could it not be good-looking?
"Heh... Miss Ye, what you wear is your own business. Why ask me?"
[Ye Mengyao: So mad!]
[Yu Wan'er: You creep, you're manipulating my sister Mengyao! This guy is trying to steal her heart!]
The two girls each had their own thoughts.
They finally arrived at the school gate.
...
Chen Hao was in a foul mood. Last night, due to his unauthorized leave, the school had been robbed.
Although the stolen items were mostly recovered, he was still fined three months' salary. This meant he would work for nothing for the next three months.
It was quite frustrating!
Since leaving the Chen family, he had been penniless, and now things were even worse.
"Damn it! If it weren't for that Jiang Che, would I have left my post? That Qin Qiaoqiao is so beautiful, such a good catch wasted on a pig!"
Chen Hao's heart ached with resentment. Just then, a familiar voice echoed in his ears.
“Security uncle, open the gate, please.”
!!!
Chen Hao had dreamed of this voice last night!
Looking up, it was indeed Jiang Che!
Wait... the girls with him had changed?
Not Qin Qiaoqiao?
Two incredibly beautiful girls? One of them a little loli?
Damn it, this scoundrel!
Jiang Che had now topped Chen Hao's "This Bastard Must Be Executed" list!
“Hmm? Uncle Security, why do you have dark circles? Didn’t you sleep well last night?” Jiang Che’s words struck a nerve deep within Chen Hao.
You little bastard! It's because of you! You stole the woman I coveted... how could I sleep soundly?
Though furious, Chen Hao gritted his teeth and opened the gate.
"Jiang Che, I didn't expect you to care about the security guard!" Ye Mengyao spoke up, adding another stab to Chen Hao.
[Hmph, stinky Jiang Che, caring about the security guard but not me. I've been sleepless too, you know!]
Jiang Che: "......"
Hard to handle~
...
When Jiang Che returned to the school, he was surprised to see a familiar face in the corridor.
Lin Yu!
Lin Yu was back?
Lin Yu naturally noticed Jiang Che's gaze and his eyes burned with resentment. He wanted nothing more than to kill Jiang Che.
But now was not the time to clash. He had to endure!
"Oh? Isn't this Lin Yu? Weren't you expelled from school? How did you get back in?" Jiang Che approached and taunted.
In truth, Jiang Che was genuinely curious. How did this guy manage to return to school after being expelled?
Lin Yu couldn't help but feel a sense of pride.
He had used his divine medical skills to save the Su Family Patriarch, and the Su Family Patriarch's Son was the Education Bureau Director of Hangcheng.
Now, he had the director as his backer. Who would dare expel him?
Since leaving the mountain, Lin Yu had been constantly humiliated. Now that he had finally turned things around, how could he not show off?
"Hehe... Jiang Che! I saved the Su Family Patriarch's life, and the Su Family Patriarch's Son is the Education Bureau Director of Hangcheng!"
Lin Yu's expression was proud, his hands behind his back, feeling utterly satisfied.
You used your status to oppress me before? Now I have a background too—the Education Bureau Director. Are you scared?
With someone backing him, Lin Yu felt his head clear, his legs strong, and he could walk with his back straight, reverting to his arrogant self as the little divine doctor.
Jiang Che looked at Lin Yu with some understanding. So that's how it is.
So he's hooked up with the Education Bureau Director. No wonder he's suddenly so confident, even daring to show off in front of me!
However... Lin Yu is really stupid. To openly reveal that the Education Bureau Director is his backer?
Tsk tsk, abuse of power, anyone?
Especially for someone at the level of the Education Bureau Director, who usually has to be cautious. After all, many people are eyeing his position!
Helping you get back into school... and you flaunt it so openly, as if everyone doesn't know the Education Bureau Director is your sponsor.
But this works out well. It saves me the effort of investigating. I haven't even played my cards yet... and you've already thrown down your trump card.
