Chapter 72: Chapter 72: Talking so secretly, do you have more tongues than others? Chapter 72: Chapter 72: Talking so secretly, do you have more tongues than others? Jiang Nanshu looked seriously at Hu Ying, who always had several lackeys with their eyes practically on top of their heads following her around.
She had to admire the dedication of these NPCs to her role as the villainess.
She propped her chin with one hand, “Mhm, I’m ready, don’t worry, I won’t disgrace our broadcasting department.”
Hu Ying: “…”
It’s fine if she disgraces herself, why drag their broadcasting department into it!
So she curled her lips as if something amusing had occurred to her and said with a smile, “Right, didn’t Lu Qingyan’s white moonlight web series just wrap up? She pushed back all her other work to focus on her postgraduate entrance exams. She’s coming to our school tomorrow.”
“Hmm, she seems to be in the finance department for the time being.”
Jiang Nanshu nodded in understanding, “Got it, go have fun.”
Hu Ying: “…”
Her fair face flushed red.
What? Was she being treated like a dog?
Why wasn’t she the least bit worried with her calm demeanor?
I heard she was taken away by the Lu Family today.
Hu Ying maintained her composure, scoffing, “Weren’t you called off your engagement today? But it’s true, someone like you really doesn’t deserve Lu Qingyan.”
“That’s not quite right,” Jiang Nanshu pulled out a check for one billion, her face feigning shyness, “Who told you that? I was actually called to collect some pocket money. Grandpa Lu even said he wanted to give Lu Qingyan a chance to pursue me. It’s rather embarrassing, stop asking about it, will you?”
Hu Ying: “…”
Her face turned a motley of colors, looking at the check for one billion as if Jiang Nanshu had slapped her invisibly.
Giving Lu Qingyan a chance to pursue her? Why doesn’t she just ascend to heaven!
So pretentious!
Who could stand this level of affectation?
She quickly distanced herself with a face that looked as if she’d swallowed excrement.
Jiang Nanshu propped her head and pondered.
The story of Su Ran and the male lead still began inside the school gates.
The two would bump into each other often, with Su Ran specifically visiting the finance department.
In the original book, she’s described as being closer to the male lead to remember their youthful high school days together, facilitating the rekindling of their feelings, whereas her, the villainess, neglecting her own major and wishing she could spend every day in the finance department to catch cheaters.
She was either setting a trap or on her way to set one.
To sum it up in one sentence: She was up to no good.
“Da Shachun, how’s your reading coming along? It’s time for you to be useful.”
Da Shachun: [Host, don’t rush me, I’ve already begun absorbing the knowledge of melodramatic stories day and night. I’ve learned the villainess’s methods of digging her own grave to perfection, haha, guaranteeing it’s more poisonous than Nanny Rong’s needles.]
Jiang Nanshu was very pleased.
A good minion indeed.
“Then it’s up to you to strategize for my one billion.”
[Yes, sir!]
It wasn’t until after the afternoon classes had ended.
That Jiang Nanshu finally got up from the desk.
She wiped the drool from the corner of her mouth.
It’s too hard, really too hard, why is it so difficult to be a top student!
Her phone rang, and she glanced at it vaguely. It was a message from Jiang Leyi, who had given her another address—Dragon and Phoenix.
Telling her to be there before seven in the evening.
It was already five-thirty now.
Jiang Nanshu left the school and waited by the roadside, where a black Range Rover pulled up in front of her.
The window rolled down to reveal Lu Qingyan’s face, dressed casually.
His expression was very natural, “Where to?”
Jiang Nanshu: “???”
She checked the time, and according to the original plot, at this point he should be going to pick up his Bai Yueguang.
So she said subconsciously, “Dragon and Phoenix…”
“Get in the car, I’ll take you.”
“…”
[If you’re picking me up, what about Su Ran?! Weren’t you supposed to take her to her wrap party?]
Jiang Nanshu stood still, scrutinizing him with her gaze.
Lu Qingyan got out of the car, walked around the door, and stuffed her into the passenger seat.
Heh, she seems to know quite a bit.
Even the fact that Su Ran looked for him, she knew.
No wonder she stubbornly thought he only liked Su Ran.
Strange.
Even after getting in the car, Jiang Nanshu was still caught up in the plot.
“Wait, that’s not right, it’s off track, can’t she give Su Ran a call to join us?”
“Give me a chance to stir things up.”
The two of them had nothing to say during the ride.
After a while, Lu Qingyan finally said, “Jiang Nanshu, Grandpa Lu wants us to spend some time together.”
Jiang Nanshu: “…”
“Hehe, okay, I was just worried about not spending enough time with you to make you dislike me.”
Her cheeks turned red at the right moment, and she looked at him with stars in her eyes, “How do you want to spend time together? Cough, why don’t you move into my dorm? I’m living alone anyway.”
Lu Qingyan: “…”
“I’m willing, but your dormitory aunt wouldn’t be.”
Jiang Nanshu: “?”
“What are you willing for, please mind your language!”
Lu Qingyan: “…”
He took a deep breath and decided to pretend he’d not heard.
She hadn’t been sincere for more than a day or two.
He was getting cursed out in her heart.
Lu Qingyan really felt he was quite composed, even managing to casually continue talking with Jiang Nanshu.
Jiang Nanshu sniffled and spoke softly, looking down, “Actually, just seeing you every day at school makes me really happy.”
“Wuwu, help me, when can I shed this lovestruck fool persona, why isn’t the task completed yet!”
Lu Qingyan’s expression shifted subtly.
Jiang Nanshu looked listless, and her words were dry and extremely reluctant.
Task?
What task?
The thought grew deeper, and he forgot to respond to Jiang Nanshu.
“Eh? Not talking anymore? Grossed out by my cheesy words? Hehe, right on the mark, I feel so much better now.”
Jiang Nanshu remained in high spirits all the way until the car stopped at the hotel booked for the wrap party, and she got out.
At the same time, a white sports car halted next to Jiang Nanshu’s.
Su Ran’s face looked off, and her smile was forced.
On the other side, Cheng An was dressed flamboyantly, clad in a white suit with a black diamond earring on his left ear.
He tried to make himself look like a Prince Charming.
At that moment, he looked at Su Ran with extreme care, visibly tense, “Ranran, let me take you in, okay?”
Su Ran glanced at him with complex eyes, about to refuse, when she saw Jiang Nanshu not far off, enjoying the drama; Su Ran’s expression subtly changed.
Cheng An saw Jiang Nanshu too, and upon seeing her, he immediately guarded Su Ran like a protective hen, as if Jiang Nanshu was some kind of fierce beast.
“Jiang Nanshu, what are you doing here? Are you following us even here to cause trouble? How can you, such a disgusting woman, be so malicious!”
Jiang Nanshu: “???”
Come on, she hadn’t done anything, and she’s already being attacked.
“Damn it, I haven’t even said how unlucky it is to run into you two!”
Jiang Nanshu rubbed her ears, her eyes slightly raised, her demeanor lazy, “What are you yapping about?”
Cheng An was startled, then furious. He had been called a dog!
“If you’re not following, why are you here? Huh, you, with nothing but bad intentions, I don’t know how Brother Yan puts up with you!”
Jiang Nanshu could barely maintain her persona, and after holding back for a long time, she blurted out, “Are you an idiot? Don’t prescribe medicine to others just because you’re sick. Are your words so dense because you have more tongues than others?”
On the other side, Lu Qingyan got out of the car, closed the door, and his eyes swept coldly from the stunned Su Ran to the equally dumbfounded Cheng An.
His voice was calm, “Do I need to personally tell you how I put up with her?”
