"Brother Jiang Che."
Under Jiang Che's meticulous care, Bai Qiangwei had shed her former aloofness and turned into a well-behaved girl.
At least in front of Jiang Che, she was willing to show her girlish side, but in front of others... she still spoke very little.
"I just had someone handle your identity for you, and I’ve arranged your residency in Dragon Country."
After all, Bai Qiangwei didn’t have Dragon Country citizenship; she had only come to Dragon Country as a tourist.
Since Bai Qiangwei would be living in Dragon Country for the long term, it was necessary to sort out her identity.
The girl's eyes widened slightly. Identity... Brother Jiang Che was arranging her identity!
When she was with Su Han abroad, she had to constantly hustle for small commissions, never knowing where her next meal would come from. Her identity was always something she had to fabricate on the spot...
But ever since she started following Brother Jiang Che, her life had become stable. She no longer had to live in constant fear.
"Brother Jiang Che, thank you!"
Jiang Che smiled gently and patted the girl's head.
"It's nothing. I’ll take care of you forever in Brother Tianhuai's place."
At the mention of Bai Tianhuai, Bai Qiangwei's mood dipped slightly.
Her older brother... would never return.
But she wasn’t particularly heartbroken, because she was now living happily and had found a new pillar of support for the rest of her life. She believed her brother could rest in peace knowing that.
"Brother Jiang Che, the cause of my brother's death..." the girl hesitated before speaking.
Jiang Che began to put on an act. Although Su Han was now ruined, the final blame still had to be pinned on him!
"I’ve got some leads now. I can’t say for sure... but your brother’s death is definitely connected to Su Han."
What? You ask if I feel guilty about exploiting the dead?
Jiang Che chuckled. Sure, he had taken Bai Qiangwei under his wing, but he could ensure that this girl would live a life of luxury and happiness forever. From now on, the only suffering she might endure would be during childbirth.
Wasn’t that much better than running around with Su Han and eventually becoming a cold-hearted "Wolf Queen"?
"Mmm... I see."
Bai Qiangwei's eyes narrowed slightly.
By now, she had almost unconditional trust in Jiang Che’s words.
[Su Han!!! My brother treated you so well, saved your life multiple times, and yet you repaid his kindness with betrayal. I will definitely kill you!]
Hearing Bai Qiangwei’s inner thoughts, Jiang Che smiled faintly. Bai Qiangwei and Su Han were now completely estranged.
To truly crush Su Han’s spirit... he planned to let Bai Qiangwei personally send Su Han to his grave!
Jiang Che gently pulled the girl into his arms.
"Meow, meow, meow—"
A white Ragdoll cat rubbed against Jiang Che’s leg, clearly in heat again.
"Go away."
Jiang Che glared at the cat. Ever since this female cat entered her heat cycle, he had been using cotton swabs to help her... which had led to the cat looking at him in a rather strange way.
"Meow~"
The little cat, feeling wronged, hid inside the cabinet.
...
At Shilan School.
"Qiaoqiao, have you been dating someone recently?"
A girl with a single ponytail leaned in close to Qin Qiaoqiao, grinning as she spoke.
Qin Qiaoqiao’s face changed slightly. "N-no... don’t talk nonsense, Xiao Bai. My mom is so strict... how could I dare to date anyone?"
Her heart began to race. Had someone discovered her relationship with Senior Jiang Che?
Qin Qiaoqiao: Σ(っ°Д°;)っ
That’s right, the "Xiao Bai" talking to Qin Qiaoqiao was none other than Bai Jie!
The same Bai Jie who had drugged Ye Mengyao at her birthday party.
"Hmph, Qiaoqiao, are we still best friends or not? You’re even lying to me about this! Last week, I saw you laughing and chatting with Jiang Che!"
Bai Jie pretended to be angry as she spoke.
"Ah? Xiao Bai... you saw that?"
Qin Qiaoqiao’s eyes were filled with shock. She felt utterly exposed!
"Of course! Aren’t you going to tell me about it?"
"Qiaoqiao, just tell me secretly. What kind of person is Jiang Che?"
When she mentioned Jiang Che, a hint of infatuation appeared on the girl’s face.
Qin Qiaoqiao, being quite naive, didn’t notice anything unusual about Bai Jie.
She thought it was just ordinary gossip between best friends.
"Well... Senior Jiang Che is actually very gentle, though he can be a little mischievous sometimes. You know, my parents are aware that I’m dating Senior Jiang Che, but they don’t dare to say anything about it..."
Bai Jie curled her lips. Of course they wouldn’t dare! Have you seen Jiang Che’s background? Would your parents dare to offend him?
But she couldn’t say anything now. She was just Qin Qiaoqiao’s best friend, after all.
After that, Qin Qiaoqiao seemed to open up, sharing everything.
Of course, she didn’t mention that Jiang Che had other girls around him.
"Ah? Jiang Che is... that terrifying?"
Bai Jie covered her mouth, her eyes wide, but a hint of joy was hidden in her gaze.
"Shh... Xiao Bai, don’t tell anyone about this. If Senior Jiang Che finds out... I’ll be in big trouble!"
"Don’t worry, I won’t tell a soul!" Bai Jie smiled slyly.
"By the way, do you want to go shopping together this weekend?"
Qin Qiaoqiao shook her head repeatedly. "I can’t. This weekend, I have to... I have to tutor Senior Jiang Che."
Bai Jie felt a pang of jealousy. Tutoring? Yeah, right. She could only laugh silently.
"Hmph~ So you’re ditching your best friend for your boyfriend now?"
Bai Jie pretended to be upset.
"N-no! I really am going to tutor Senior Jiang Che!"
Qin Qiaoqiao was getting anxious. Bai Jie was in the same class as her. Although Bai Jie had always been quite aloof before, she was now Qin Qiaoqiao’s best friend!
"Qiaoqiao, but I heard Jiang Che has other girls around him. Is he really sincere with you? Why don’t you invite him out... and I’ll help you size him up?"
Bai Jie’s words made Qin Qiaoqiao feel helpless.
Jiang Che was indeed a playboy. He wasn’t just with her; he also had Yu Wan'er, Ye Mengyao, and there would likely be more girls in the future... but she had no right to feel jealous.
Because she loved Jiang Che!
"Xiao Bai, let’s not talk about this anymore!"
Bai Jie’s expression darkened for a moment, but she quickly forced a smile and stuck out her tongue.
"Tch, Qiaoqiao, with so many girls around Jiang Che... don’t you feel jealous?"
Bai Jie tried to dig deeper.
As Jiang Che’s obsessive fangirl, she had gotten close to Qin Qiaoqiao solely to gather information about him.
Otherwise, why would a young lady from the Bai family bother becoming best friends with a girl from an ordinary family like Qin Qiaoqiao?
