You Can't Be the Other Woman

The principal nodded. "Of course, that's no problem at all."

Jiang Yutong smiled faintly and held out her hand. "Then, Principal, here's to a pleasant cooperation."

The principal smiled and said, "To a pleasant cooperation."

Jiang Yutong signed her name on the contract, and the principal also signed his, stamping it with the official seal of Shangqing University.

Jiang Yutong said, "Tomorrow, I'll send someone to purchase the multimedia teaching equipment and have it delivered to Shangqing University. As for the funds for the new teaching building, I will wire the money directly to your school's account. The construction will be entirely up to Shangqing University to arrange; I won't interfere."

"That won't be a problem." The principal nodded with a beaming smile.

This time, their school had truly struck gold.

"Principal, does Lin Xuan come to school often?" Jiang Yutong asked.

The principal replied, "He rarely came to school before, but ever since the microchip project started, he's been coming over quite often."

He always had the feeling that Lin Xuan wasn't coming to school for the microchip project, but rather to hide from someone...

Jiang Yutong's eyes lit up slightly.

Coming to school often, that was perfect...

The principal asked curiously, "President Jiang, why do you ask?"

Jiang Yutong replied, "It's nothing, I was just a little curious and asked casually."

"Oh." The principal nodded.

"Principal, since I have some free time right now, I'd like to join the project's research today. Would that be alright?" Jiang Yutong asked.

"Of course." The principal nodded. "President Jiang, please follow me. I'll take you to see Lin Xuan right now."

"Sorry to trouble you, Principal," Jiang Yutong nodded.

On the way to the laboratory, the principal kept glancing back at Jiang Yutong.

So President Jiang had donated all this money just for Lin Xuan.

The most likely reason a woman would spend so much money on a man was that she liked him.

Therefore, President Jiang liked Lin Xuan.

The principal was slightly surprised, but thinking about it carefully, Lin Xuan was so outstanding that it was perfectly normal for President Jiang to like him.

Especially since Lin Xuan had even helped President Jiang grow her company.

In President Jiang's eyes, Lin Xuan might even be her savior, and a life-saving grace should be repaid with one's own body.

However, Lin Xuan belonged to Boss Su.

If Boss Su found out that he had let someone into the school to pursue Lin Xuan, his position as principal would be in jeopardy.

At this thought, the principal felt completely sick to his stomach.

"President Jiang, I think I know your true purpose for coming here," the principal said.

Jiang Yutong paused her steps and looked at the principal in confusion.

The principal knew?

On second thought, Jiang Yutong figured that as the principal of Shangqing University, he must have some connections. It was completely normal for him to know about her relationship with Little Xuan.

Naturally, he could also guess that her purpose for coming today was to reunite with Little Xuan.

"Sigh." Jiang Yutong sighed. "Principal, you guessed right. I came entirely for Little Xuan."

"Little Xuan has always been giving me the cold shoulder. I had no other choice but to use this method to get close to Little Xuan."

She hoped this method would work.

If it didn't work, it might leave Little Xuan with a terrible impression of her, and any future hopes of reuniting with Little Xuan would be even slimmer.

The principal: "!!!"

It was exactly as he had thought.

Jiang Yutong had her eyes on Lin Xuan!

Although Jiang Yutong was quite a catch—rich, capable, and good-looking—she still couldn't compare to Boss Su. Besides, Boss Su was his direct superior.

The principal said earnestly, "President Jiang, I can completely understand how you feel, but there's something I hope you know."

"What is it?" Jiang Yutong's face was full of confusion.

"President Jiang, since this is your first time at our school, you probably aren't aware. Actually, Lin Xuan already has a girlfriend," the principal said.

"I know," Jiang Yutong nodded.

The fact that Little Xuan had a girlfriend didn't affect her reuniting with Little Xuan.

"You know, yet you still..." The principal's expression was hard to describe.

"What does him having a girlfriend have to do with me getting close to Little Xuan?" Jiang Yutong said.

Having a girlfriend and acknowledging a younger brother could coexist perfectly fine.

The principal felt somewhat helpless.

"President Jiang, you have such a high status. At such a young age, you've developed your own skincare brand, and you're the second young lady of the Jiang family. Whenever you go out, there are bound to be plenty of excellent, handsome young men flocking to you," the principal began to persuade her earnestly.

Jiang Yutong was completely baffled.

The more she listened to the principal, the weirder it sounded.

She thought about it.

It must be that the principal saw Little Xuan had no intention of acknowledging his relatives, so he was suggesting she pick someone else to acknowledge as a younger brother.

Jiang Yutong said, "Principal, no matter how outstanding anyone else is, they can't compare to Little Xuan. I have set my heart on him for the rest of my life."

Ever since she was a child, she had desperately wanted a younger brother. When outsiders heard that the Jiang family was interested in adopting a son, they would often send their own biological sons to the Jiang family, but she hadn't taken a liking to any of them back then.

But the very first time she met Little Xuan, she wanted to acknowledge Little Xuan as her younger brother.

The principal had a major headache.

From what President Jiang was saying, she had already fallen deeply in love with Lin Xuan.

By the looks of it, she wasn't going to give up easily.

Sigh.

What kind of mess was this?

Of all the people President Jiang could like, she just had to like Lin Xuan.

Damn it.

And he had even given President Jiang the opportunity to pursue Lin Xuan.

If he had known earlier, let alone a sponsorship of ninety million, even if she offered nine hundred million, he wouldn't have let President Jiang into Shangqing University or the microchip project team.

Now the contract was already signed; there was no turning back.

The principal continued to struggle, saying, "President Jiang, Boss Su and Lin Xuan are deeply, deeply in love with each other. It's impossible for the two of them to separate. If you keep pestering them, you'll only be wasting your time. President Jiang, with your qualifications, you don't need to be the other woman, do you?"

A bolt from the blue.

Jiang Yutong froze on the spot.

So the principal didn't know about her relationship with Little Xuan at all. Instead, he had misunderstood that she liked Little Xuan and had chased him all the way to Shangqing University for his sake.

What a massive injustice!

How could she possibly fall in love with her own biological cousin!

"Principal, I have a boyfriend," Jiang Yutong hurriedly explained.

The principal's eyes widened. "President Jiang, are you two-timing? Let me tell you, since you are in a relationship with your boyfriend, you should focus on him properly. You can't be a scumbag. Your Jiang Group is a listed company. If word gets out that the second young lady of the Jiang Group is two-timing, it will be a huge blow to the Jiang Group."

Jiang Yutong: "..."

What kind of logic was this principal operating on?

She took a deep breath. "Principal, listen to me carefully."

The principal nodded. "President Jiang, go ahead."

Jiang Yutong continued speaking, "When I said I have a boyfriend just now, I didn't mean that I was going to two-time."
