Chapter 59: Nothing Special, Getting Beaten Up Again
<Previous Chapter<Table of Contents>Next Chapter>
“Even if I tell you, you wouldn’t understand…”
Xie Dingyuan furrowed his eyebrows.
Zhong Ziang was afraid that he would lose his temper, so he took the initiative to speak: “I know you listen to my mom and keep a close eye on me, not letting me date. But you shouldn’t deceive me like this!”
“Deceive you?”
“Yes! Look, you gave me the lousy idea of buying 999 roses, and I actually believed it? It’s unbelievable…”
Xie Dingyuan’s voice turned cold: “First, you only asked me where you could buy the most roses with the least amount of money. I answered that dried roses are available at the supermarket. Isn’t that right?”
In front of them were roses scattered all over the floor, undeniably real roses.
“Secondly, you didn’t tell me the purpose. How would I know if you were buying them to give as a gift or to make tea?”
“And finally, even if you use these for confession, I don’t think it’s disrespectful. The practical value of dried flowers far exceeds that of fresh flowers, which are merely ornamental. If the other person doesn’t accept them, there are only two possibilities…”
Zhong Ziang was dumbfounded by the intimidation: “T-Two possibilities?”
“Either they don’t like flowers, or they don’t like you.”
“…”
Xie Dingyuan sized him up and down: “Which one do you think it is?”
The young master looked confused, which one?
The flowers or the person?
“I don’t know…”
Xie Dingyuan pondered for a moment: “How did she respond when you gave her the flowers?”
Zhong Ziang’s face turned pale: “…She scolded me.”
“What did she scold you for?”
“…Idiot X.”
Xie Dingyuan: “Cough!”
“I know you want to laugh.” He gritted his teeth, “Stop pretending!”
“Ahem…” The man’s expression remained calm, and he patted his young nephew’s shoulder reassuringly. “It seems to be the second possibility. You…” He paused for a moment. “Just try to accept it.”
After saying that, he turned and headed upstairs, slowing his pace suddenly. “Liu Ma isn’t here, remember to clean the living room.”
Zhong Ziang: “?” Uncle, please be human!
…
Although Jiang Fuyue had been cold towards them, Yi Ci and Zhong Ziang were clearly not so easily discouraged.
On the contrary, the colder she became, the more determined they were.
Returning rejected snacks wasn’t a big deal; they would try again the next day.
Being scolded as a idiot X for giving dried flowers was fine; they would give fresh flowers instead.
Every morning, when Jiang Fuyue arrived at the classroom, she could find a bouquet of flowers and several snacks pulled out from under her desk. From fragrant lilies to daisies, from beef jerky to twisted dough sticks, there was something new every day.
Jiang Fuyue completely ignored them.
The flowers brightened up the entire class when placed on the windowsill.
The snacks were divided between Wan Xiutong, Liu Bowen, and later joined by Lin Qiao. Although she didn’t eat much, she had a big appetite and wanted to try a bit of everything.
Thanks to the immense appeal of the snacks, Jiang Fuyue’s relationship with her desk mate and the students in front of her became exceptionally harmonious.
“Yi Ci is handsome, Zhong Ziang is ruggedly handsome, they’re about the same height, and they both play basketball…” Wan Xiutong rested her chin on her hand and compared them with a silly smile. “Jiang Jiang, who do you think is better?”
Jiang Fuyue replied, “They’re both average.”
Compared to the men around her in her past life, Yi Ci and Zhong Ziang were not worth her attention at all.
Wan Xiutong: “?” Sorry for bothering you.
In the afternoon, Jiang Fuyue went to her math class.
After easily completing three sets of practice papers, Xu Jing waved his hand in satisfaction and allowed her to leave school early.
“Classmate Jiang, I’ll walk you home.” At the corner, Yi Ci leaned against the wall with one hand, his face beaming like a spring breeze.
Jiang Fuyue stepped aside, saying, “No need to trouble yourself.”
“Eh…” He caught up with her, following behind. “Don’t be so distant. Even if we can’t be boyfriend and girlfriend right now, we can still be friends first, right?”
Jiang Fuyue stopped and turned back. “Firstly, we’re not familiar.”
“Secondly, I don’t want to be friends with you.”
“Lastly, no matter what tricks you and Zhong Ziang are playing, it’s best not to provoke me. Otherwise—”
The girl’s beautiful peach blossom eyes narrowed slightly, revealing a chilling glint.
Yi Ci’s heart sank, and in the end, he could only stand there and watch her walk away, not daring to follow.
Little did he know that as soon as he turned away, there was another person waiting at the school gate.
Zhong Ziang, with his hands in his pockets, confidently blocked her path, a sly smile on his face.
Jiang Fuyue raised an eyebrow, but her gaze turned completely cold.
“Hey, Classmate Jiang, we meet again. Do you like today’s bellflowers?”
“Teacher Yu likes them.”
Zhong Ziang covered his chest. “Rejecting the gift I gave you so heartlessly, it hurts here.”
Jiang Fuyue raised an eyebrow. “How much does it hurt?”
“It hurts like death.”
“Then why aren’t you dead yet?”
Zhong Ziang’s face changed. “Do you understand language? Stop acting shamelessly and give some face!”
With these words, he fully revealed the debonair and arrogant demeanor of a young master in the capital.
If it weren’t for that bet, he wouldn’t waste his time on an ungrateful woman.
Jiang Fuyue was indeed beautiful, Zhong Ziang had to admit that. Slim waist, long legs, fair skin, rosy lips, but oh, her stinky temper!
And it wasn’t just a little bit bad, but extremely bad.
What kind of beautiful women didn’t Zhong Ziang have? Why bother arguing with her here?
Tch…
In Xie Yunzao’s words, her son was spoiled by women, and one day he would be dealt with by a woman.
No need to wait for that “one day,” it could happen now.
Jiang Fuyue said, “I don’t know if you’ve given me face or not, but today, I’m not planning to give you face…”
As soon as she finished speaking, she moved forward, a sinister smile appearing on her lips.
Zhong Ziang didn’t even have time to react before his shoulders were locked, and an irresistible force pushed him forcefully backwards.
Bang!
His back hit the wall with a heavy thud.
Zhong Ziang’s face contorted, cold sweat pouring down. “You…”
He had just managed to say one word when Jiang Fuyue grabbed his throat.
Instinctively, he started to struggle, his cheeks turning as red as a pig’s liver. His breathing became increasingly difficult, and soon, all that came from his mouth were gasping sounds, as if he was trying to breathe, as if he was seeking help. There was no trace of his previous arrogance and arrogance.
“Since the last punch didn’t teach you a lesson, this time, I’ll make sure you remember it.”
Zhong Ziang’s face showed anger, but a hint of imperceptible fear surged in his eyes.
She wouldn’t actually do it, would she?
Jiang Fuyue seemed to see through his thoughts and smiled, “Before deciding to pursue me, you should have investigated my personal information, right? From height, weight, measurements, to blood type, zodiac sign, and personality, hmm?”
Zhong Ziang’s gaze flickered.
“Then you should know that I’m not talkative, and I don’t have a habit of joking.”
Implied meaning: I mean it!
Cough cough cough… Realizing the danger, Zhong Ziang began to struggle desperately.
But the girl’s hand, like a rusty pair of iron pliers, tightly clamped his throat, no matter how he struggled or pulled, it didn’t budge.
Just as he was about to fall into despair, his gaze froze and fixed on someone behind Jiang Fuyue.
The unexpected turn of events happened in that instant. By the time Jiang Fuyue realized that someone was behind her and was very likely to intervene and help Zhong Ziang, it was too late.
The other person exerted brutal force, tightening the grip on her right shoulder, as if intending to crush her bones as well, displaying absolute dominance and tyranny.
In an instant, intense pain struck, and Jiang Fuyue’s face turned pale.
Before she could find a way to break free, her feet were violently lifted off the ground, and then she was thrown out forcefully, like a radish being pulled out…
Ding! Xie 99’s pursuit of his wife’s crematorium arrangements is in progress.
