Chapter 53: Chapter 53: So You Are Also a Part of Their Play Chapter 53: Chapter 53: So You Are Also a Part of Their Play Jiang Nanshu was a mess in the wind.
A moment later, she revealed a gratified smile. It turned out they already hated her so much that they didn’t even want to see her.
“If I had known it was this easy to be hated by them, I would have drugged the whole family,” muttered Jiang Nanshu.
A loud “bang” came from behind.
Jiang Nanshu was startled and turned to look. Jiang Zhouye had slipped and fallen down the stairs, clutching his buttocks, his throat sore and his body weak. He had come down to eat and heard Jiang Nanshu talking about drugging the entire family.
What? Addicted to it now? Did he think they were dumplings?
Jiang Nanshu quickly walked over, and Jiang Zhouye finally felt a bit of comfort, thinking that his sister, seeing him hurt, couldn’t bear it and was coming to help him up.
He reached out a hand, but Jiang Nanshu, tiptoeing, carefully sidestepped him, whispering, “Fifth Brother, I’ve finished eating. You eat by yourself.”
His hand froze, and he stared at her angrily. “Would it kill you to help me up?!”
Jiang Nanshu sniffed and solemnly nodded. “It would. I’m almost dying of guilt. Just thinking about the emotional damage I caused you today, I don’t even dare to come near you. Get up yourself, I won’t bother you anymore.”
“…”
Damn! She had said everything; what was he supposed to say now!
Jiang Nanshu quickly went upstairs.
[Hey, go read the post~]
Eventually, he got up by himself, his food tasting as bland as wax.
Suddenly, his phone screen lit up and a notification sound chimed. He opened it and his expression gradually turned cold.
…
The next day,
After Jiang Nanshu went downstairs, she found that Mr. Jiang, Mrs. Jiang, and Jiang Yunchuan hadn’t come home.
Did they hate her so much that they wanted to give her this huge villa?
These family members were really too kind, exiting their lives collectively and giving her real estate; she was moved to tears!
Jiang Nanshu ate breakfast and then went to Jing University for a five-day self-discovery life, planning to torment her family again over the weekend.
Life was organized and full of anticipation.
Jiang Nanshu’s phone rang once; it was a message from Lin Yueyue displaying “OK.”
To help the two get back together and return the plot to its original course, she had messaged Lin Yueyue yesterday and asked her to pretend.
Jiang Nanshu sighed. This was really exhausting.
Although Jiang Yunchuan was avoiding her and didn’t want to see her, she needed to let Jiang Yunchuan see the “real” Lin Yueyue, so she proactively called to meet him at the school entrance.
Jiang Yunchuan agreed once he heard it was about Lin Yueyue.
Outside the weather was sunny, and the morning sun was pleasant. Jiang Nanshu felt good.
In her mind, Da Shachun appeared again: [Host, I hid something from you.]
Jiang Nanshu: “?”
“Tell me.”
Da Shachun: [Actually, there isn’t just the option of gaining one billion; there’s another option.]
“Another one? Two billion? Are you trying to swindle my one billion? You really are a scoundrel.”
Da Shachun: […]Is this person obsessed with money?!
Can’t there be a better option?!
It tried to control its mechanical tone: [Here’s the thing, the main control center detected your excellent task completion, so it provided a second option, allowing you to choose to stay in this world after completing the task.]
A long silence.
After a while, Jiang Nanshu said faintly, “I choose the one billion. Don’t think about swallowing my money.”
[…]
Jiang Nanshu turned her head to look out the window. Only when mentioning returning to her own world did it seem like thick clouds were rolling in her eyes.
She lowered her eyelashes, those fragmented memories in her mind were shattered by her, her crying, helplessness, pain, and despair finally turned into a mocking smile.
“Nobody can stop me from going back.”
The car slowly stopped at the school gate.
The driver spoke, “Miss, Jing University has arrived.”
It was still early, only seven thirty.
Jiang Nanshu got out of the car, walking on the broad and clean avenue in her little leather shoes, with green camphor trees lining both sides of Jing University, making it very verdant.
Jiang Yunchuan was waiting at the school gate, his red hair flamboyant, standing out in the crowd due to his superior appearance.
Jiang Nanshu also attracted quite a few eyes as she appeared in a bright red dress, her porcelain white skin almost revealing blue veins under the sunlight.
“Fifth Brother.”
Hearing Jiang Nanshu’s voice, Jiang Yunchuan looked over at her warily, fearing that she would confess her crime against Jiang Zhouye from yesterday.
[Awesome, is that scared look because he’s also afraid I’d drug him?]
Jiang Yunchuan: “…”
That wasn’t his intention!
He cleared his throat awkwardly and said, “Where should we look for her? Some things need to be addressed face-to-face.”
“Exactly, breaking up and getting back together are normal things among couples. Come with me.”
Jiang Yunchuan didn’t want to get back together with Lin Yueyue, he just wanted her to stop harassing him.
When he first pursued her, it took a lot of effort. Now that he wanted to break up, she clung to him endlessly, driving him crazy.
The two hid in a less crowded street corner, where a big tree provided some cover.
Jiang Yunchuan looked at his watch, frowning, “When will she arrive?”
Jiang Nanshu also stretched her neck, excitedly pointing to a low-key luxury car, “Here she comes, Yueyue’s rich dad is dropping her off.”
Lin Yueyue, wearing a little white dress, her innocent looks had made her the campus belle of Jing University as voted by many male students.
After she got out of the car, the other car door opened, and a man with granny gray hair and shorter than Lin Yueyue stepped out.
Jiang Yunchuan’s eyes widened, and Jiang Nanshu also filled with question marks, what’s this, she remembered the middle-aged man in the photo was not him!
“Who’s this?!”
Hearing Jiang Yunchuan’s query, Jiang Nanshu quickly steadied herself and blurted, “Seeing this hair color, it must be her grandfather…”
[Oh boy, I told you to bring your dad, how did you switch it up?!]
Jiang Yunchuan: “…”
The two then saw Lin Yueyue bow her head and kiss the granny-haired man on the lips.
“Then what’s this?” Jiang Yunchuan’s voice was cold.
Jiang Nanshu: “…Western etiquette? Haven’t you seen it?”
[Aghh, what is this nonsense! How did you get Golden Master to kiss my Fifth Brother’s face!]
After kissing, Lin Yueyue said goodbye to the man and then walked in the opposite direction of the school.
Jiang Yunchuan chuckled darkly, speaking lowly to Jiang Nanshu, “Guess if this is morning behavior, afternoon’s, or evening’s?”
“…”
“Let’s follow her and see.”
“… Let’s not, her grandfather already left.”
Jiang Yunchuan forcefully took Jiang Nanshu along.
Then they saw Lin Yueyue enter a breakfast shop near the school.
Inside was a tall man with ordinary looks waving at her, the two immediately getting cozy, even feeding each other porridge mouth-to-mouth.
Jiang Yunchuan’s face turned green, unable to hold it in, he leaned against a tree trunk and threw up.
Jiang Nanshu looked at him sympathetically.
[Ah, it’s miserable to be cheated on, and even worse to unknowingly be close with three men at the same time, turns out you were also a part of their play.]
