Chapter 68: Chapter 68 If you hurt me again, I can only hang myself with a rope at your doorstep. Chapter 68: Chapter 68 If you hurt me again, I can only hang myself with a rope at your doorstep. Jiang Nanshu lay down and stared at the ceiling, feeling somewhat depressed. “Da Shachun, why has my big brother become so smart? And wasn’t the plot supposed to involve Xu Xingwan getting pregnant by Bao Yan and then being exposed by He Lianzhi’s jealousy? Everything’s gotten mixed up, totally mixed up.”
Da Shachun: [… Perhaps the plot really has its own ideas.]
Jiang Nanshu: “…”
She knew the plot bugs were getting bigger and bigger.
“Such bad luck, but at least their dislike for me is real,” Jiang Nanshu muttered as she continued to watch.
Da Shachun: [Host, what are all these books you read every day? Why do I see a big mosaic in front of my eyes?]
“Adult world, not something a system like you can comprehend, be good and go watch some Maca Paca, it is good for your intellect,” Jiang Nanshu dismissively replied.
Da Shachun: [Hehe…]
Coldly taking out “Cold Young Master’s 99 Escaped Brides.”
[Acting as if nobody else has books to read, I’ll help you strategize after I’m done reading.]
Jiang Nanshu didn’t really listen to its prattle, hastily replying, “Yes, yes, yes, this tough game all depends on you now.”
Da Shachun instantly felt a heavy responsibility on its shoulders.
No one understood the value of melodramatic plots better than it.
…
The next day, no classes for the first two periods.
Jiang Nanshu slept until nine before waking up, and saw several missed calls on her muted phone.
Calls from Mr. Jiang, Mrs. Jiang, and Jiang Yisen.
They had all called her between seven and eight.
What? Were they trying to wake her up early?
The next second, a push notification popped up.
The Bao Family announced the engagement with He Family’s daughter is broken off.
Jiang Nanshu was stunned for a moment, tsking at the news, Bao Yan really is heartless, dumping He Lianzhi as soon as she became useless.
She didn’t pay much attention.
It wasn’t her engagement being broken, she couldn’t be happy about it.
After getting ready, she continued with a few of her own scattered books to school.
As she reached the dormitory’s front gate, two black-suited bodyguards blocked her way.
Jiang Nanshu stopped, her eyes quickly scanning over the two men, puzzled, “Who are you?”
The two bodyguards had cold expressions, but the disdain in their eyes was evident: “We are here on behalf of Madam Lu to invite you to the Lu Family Mansion to discuss the cancellation of the engagement, please come with us, Second Miss Jiang.”
“What…what?” Jiang Nanshu’s voice trembled, “Cancellation of engagement? You’re kidding, right… You’re not lying to me?”
Seeing her shocked silly demeanor, the bodyguards snorted lightly, their young master really was a rose stuck in cow dung, but this too, clinging to the Lu Family was a fortune she had accumulated over many lifetimes, it was normal for her to cling desperately.
They all waited to see Jiang Nanshu cry and scream, refusing to go, even prepared to take her away forcibly.
Seeing Jiang Nanshu remained motionless, they grew impatient.
Jiang Nanshu covered her face with one hand, her shoulders trembling, trying her best not to laugh out loud.
“Wuwuwu, I’m going to be dumped, I’m so miserable, I’ll go with you, I want to see Brother Qingyan for one last time.”
The two bodyguards: “…”
What last time, can’t she speak properly, their young master was still perfectly fine!
As long as she was willing to cooperate, things would be easy.
“But I haven’t asked for leave from school yet.”
“Psht, with your grades, it makes no difference whether you ask for leave or not, are you hoping to win any awards?”
Jiang Nanshu blinked, looking puzzled, “Is winning an award… that hard?”
The two bodyguards exchanged glances, both seeing the mocking laughter in each other’s eyes.
Jiang Nanshu had entered Jing University through the back door, yet now she spoke as if winning an award was just a matter of lifting a finger, which was really hilarious.
“For others, it might be simple, but for you, it’s wishful thinking.”
Jiang Nanshu sighed in frustration, “I wonder if there will ever be a chance to showcase my many skills.”
“Skills? Your best talent is blindly seeking trouble, but this time, even if you want to use suicide to escape, it won’t work.”
Jiang Nanshu. “…”
She was just short of setting off a string of firecrackers.
After getting into the Lu family’s car.
About an hour later, the car reached the Lu Family Mansion.
This was Jiang Nanshu’s second visit.
She remembered that the original engagement had been held here.
The white European-style villa was magnificent and atmospheric, with an outdoor fountain, a man-made lake, and a naturally flowing swimming pool, all adding a luxurious atmosphere to the villa.
The ground was covered with emerald jade stone flooring that could reflect Jiang Nanshu’s shadow.
Even the eight-foot-long chandelier above her head was studded with diamonds, glittering with gold.
Tears uncontrollably rolled down from the corner of her mouth.
This was truly wealth that could rival a country.
Compared to the Jiang family’s residence, this place dropped several notches immediately.
No wonder Lu Qingyan was such a sought-after catch in Beijing, and why Su Ran, who had taken 30 million and left, would still turn back to seek reconciliation with him, with numerous women scrambling to curry his favor.
Jiang Nanshu’s wandering gaze caught the eye of Lu Mother on the circular crystal staircase.
“Hmph, clearly a girl raised in a small family, she just can’t make it to the big stage.”
A sudden female voice grabbed Jiang Nanshu’s attention.
Looking over, she saw a lady, wrapped in classical beauty, every move exuding elegance.
Lu Qingyan’s mother, whom Jiang Nanshu had seen once in her memory, not at the engagement party but at a celebration for Lu Qingyan’s 20th birthday.
The original body assertively followed behind Lu Qingyan, sternly warning the noble women of the Beijing Circle who attended the party, declaring that she ultimately would be Lu Qingyan’s wife, before accidentally falling into a swimming pool and ending up in a mess.
She was mercilessly mocked by Lu Mother who arrived later.
Becoming a joke of the Beijing Circle.
Eventually, she was hurriedly taken home by Mrs. Jiang, leading to Mrs. Jiang refusing to take her out anymore.
Jiang Nanshu glanced away, her tone lazy, “So I beg you to lift me up, give those of us from small families a way out, let me have a chance to get rich overnight. I really do want to hang on to Brother Qingyan and be a lifelong leech.”
Lu Mother’s face turned a bit green, clearly not expecting Jiang Nanshu to strike while the iron was hot, so shameless!
Any other girl would have felt so ashamed they’d wish they could hide in a hole.
She snorted coldly and said to a nearby butler, “Go call the Old Master and the young master downstairs, tell them Jiang Nanshu has arrived.”
After the butler went upstairs, Lu Mother then sneered, “I absolutely will not allow someone like you to enter the Lu family’s door!”
“Woo woo woo, please don’t say such hurtful words, if you hurt me any more, I’ll have to find a rope and hang myself right at your doorstep.” Jiang Nanshu sobbed wildly, spouting nonsense, aiming for a verbal shock.
“…”
Sure enough, Lu Mother, hearing the words “hang myself,” didn’t dare to make another sound, probably really worried that Jiang Nanshu might go insane and commit suicide at their Lu mansion—would they even want the mansion then?
[Ha, got you scared, didn’t it? Sweat pouring down your back? I’ll jump into your man-made lake and take a bath next, just to confuse you all!]
Lu Qingyan, coming down from upstairs: “…”
And Mr. Jiang and Mrs. Jiang, rushing to the doorway: “…”
Please don’t jump!
They were scared!
