Morning came, and Jiang Che left Qin Qiaoqiao's house.
He also dropped her off at school.
Although Qin Qiaoqiao's home was filled with surveillance, how could it possibly hold Jiang Che back?
Sitting in the passenger seat, Qin Qiaoqiao looked very well-behaved, staring blankly out the window. The events of the past few days had been too absurd for her to fully comprehend, yet they were also incredibly thrilling!
For over a decade, she had played the role of the perfect daughter, subjected to Wang Lili's almost tyrannical education. As a child, she wasn't allowed to play games, and her schedule was packed with tutoring classes. Even during puberty, any unconscious crossing of her legs would earn her a scolding as a "slut," and she was forbidden from talking to boys...
Before meeting Jiang Che, she had been submissive, too afraid to resist her domineering parents.
But Jiang Che's arrival made her realize... just how incapable her mother really was. Unable to accept her own mediocrity, Wang Lili had bet everything on her daughter.
Qin Qiaoqiao's family was, after all, just an ordinary family, not even close to being middle-class.
Her parents had worked their entire lives... yet their earnings wouldn't even cover the cost of a single Maybach of Jiang Che's.
Working as a teacher at Shilan School, although Wang Lili had a bad temper, she truly didn't dare to offend her students. Her harsh exterior was just a facade.
......
Ye Mengyao had been in a good mood lately.
Her birthday was coming up, and she knew the celebration would be grand, with many guests attending to congratulate her.
She would wear a beautiful gown, and she was sure it would leave Jiang Che speechless.
The corners of her lips couldn't help but curl upward.
She grabbed Yu Wan'er's hand and, smiling, prepared to enter the school.
But soon, her smile froze.
"Jiang... Jiang Che?"
Not far away, she saw a slender figure stepping out of Jiang Che's car, the two of them chatting and laughing.
The girl next to him was someone she recognized—the student council president, Qin Qiaoqiao!
The third school beauty, a typical well-behaved girl.
But how could Jiang Che possibly be involved with Qin Qiaoqiao?
Without a doubt... she was jealous again, and a sharp pain shot through her heart.
So... was Jiang Che really that popular with girls?
First, there was the policewoman Wang Yanran, and now Qin Qiaoqiao...
Of course, Jiang Che was not only handsome but also incredibly charming. How could he not be liked by girls?
"Yao Yao, let's hurry up and go. Don't pay attention to him," Yu Wan'er said, her heart filled with mixed emotions. She silently cursed Jiang Che as a pervert!
He was always flirting with young girls!
Ye Mengyao also forced herself to turn her head away. She really wanted to rush up and demand an explanation about Jiang Che's relationship with Qin Qiaoqiao, but what right did she have to do so?
Would she just end up... being humiliated by Jiang Che?
She refused!
Before she knew it, Ye Mengyao's eyes had turned slightly red, misty with unshed tears.
......
In the afternoon, Jiang Che returned home.
His mother, Jiang Yunli, had already been waiting for him.
Holding a Siamese cat in her arms, Jiang Yunli's phoenix-like eyes scrutinized her son, while the cat tilted its head curiously, looking at Jiang Che.
Jiang Yuan was also at home, feeding the fish in the aquarium. When he saw Jiang Che return, he turned around.
"Xiao Che, where have you been at night these past few days?"
Jiang Che tossed his backpack aside. "I went to a female classmate's house."
He played it straight, sincerity being the ultimate tactic!
This left Jiang Yunli and Jiang Yuan momentarily speechless.
So... so straightforward, huh?
"Ahem, Xiao Che! Even if you're not restraining yourself... you should consider the feelings of the young lady!"
Jiang Yunli's expression was a bit unnatural, but since Yu Wan'er was the daughter-in-law she had chosen, she couldn't say anything against it.
To be honest, Jiang Yunli felt a bit guilty about Yu Wan'er.
Jiang Yuan coughed twice, then spoke.
"Xiao Che, don't keep going to that girl's house! Bring her to ours instead! I've looked into her background and family situation—it's not great, right?"
"Here's what we'll do: Tomorrow, your mother and I will move out."
After careful consideration, Jiang Yuan made the decision. After all, with the wealth and status of the Jiang family, they could afford as many top-tier villas as they wanted.
"But Xiao Che, you still need to restrain yourself. Don't go too far and end up with a pregnancy. That girl is still just a child herself. If she gets pregnant..."
Jiang Che's mouth twitched. These parents were really going all out for their son's happiness!
He didn't bother saying anything more.
As they chatted, the topic shifted elsewhere.
"Xiao Che, do you remember your Fei Fei sister?" Jiang Yunli slowly asked.
Jiang Che: "???"
What? I have a sister?
Jiang Yunli saw that Jiang Che didn't respond and continued, "Gu Lingfei, don't you remember her?"
Jiang Che frantically searched his memory, then finally recalled the name.
Gu Lingfei!
She was a distant relative, more like a cousin, though the blood relation was almost negligible. In high school genetics problems, she would be at least six generations removed, requiring Mendel himself to calculate with several sheets of paper.
In the original storyline, she had very little screen time, just a brief mention.
She had lived in the Jiang family's villa when she was young, then went abroad for further studies. She started a company overseas and now was the CEO of a company worth billions. The female bedroom that Yu Wan'er had stayed in was originally reserved for Gu Lingfei.
Jiang Che had never paid much attention to her, but now... his expression turned strange.
A billion-dollar company?
A cold, high-powered CEO?
This sounded like the setup for a novel's main heroine, didn't it?
close your eyes and open them again, only to find yourself transmigrated into the role of a villainous male supporting character. Readers familiar with urban wish-fulfillment novels know that it is only through the relentless antics of the villainous male supporting character that the plot between the male and female leads can progress. As the villainous male supporting character, Long Aotian not only has to bully the female lead, harass the second female lead, and flirt with the third female lead, but he also has to go all out to antagonize the male lead. In the end, when his body is discovered, he is still clutching half a moldy fried dough stick in his hand. Fully aware of the plot, Long Aotian is determined to change his fate, starting with the female lead! In the beginning, the female lead lacks confidence: "Big brother, I hope I didn't scare you?" In the middle, the female lead treads carefully: "Brother Long, please don't hit me, okay?" Later on, the female lead becomes coquettishly clingy: "Aotian, it's time to pay the 'public grain' tonight." Long Aotian's legs go weak, and he feels like crying: "I taught you to be thick-skinned, not shameless!"
e bizarre and supernatural had descended. The previous emperor was a thoroughgoing tyrant; no longer satisfied with human women, he had set his sights on a stunningly beautiful supernatural entity. He met his end in his bedchamber, drained of all his vital essence. As the legitimate eldest son and crown prince, Wang Hao was thus hastily enthroned, becoming the young emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. No sooner had he awakened the "Imperial Sign-In Intelligence System" than he was assassinated by a Son of Destiny—a classic villain's opening. The Great Zhou, ravaged by the former emperor's excesses, was in national decline. The great families within its borders harbored their own treacherous schemes, martial sects began to defy the imperial court's decrees, and border armies, their pay and provisions in arrears, grumbled incessantly against the central government. Fortunately, the central capital was still held secure by the half-million Imperial Guards and fifty thousand Imperial Forest Army who obeyed the court's orders, along with the royal family's hidden reserves of power, barely managing to suppress the realm. As the Great Zhou's finances worsened and supernatural activities grew ever more frequent, the court sat atop a volcano. Ambitious plotters everywhere dreamed of overthrowing the dynasty, and even some reclusive ancient powers emerged, attempting to sway the tides of the world. At the first grand court assembly, the civil and military officials nearly came to blows, fighting tooth and nail over the allocation of fifty million taels of silver from the summer tax revenues. The spectacle opened Wang Hao's eyes—the Great Zhou's bureaucracy was not only corrupt but also martially proficient, a cabinet of all-rounders. Some officials even had the audacity to suggest the emperor release funds from the imperial privy purse to address the emergency. Wang Hao suddenly felt weary. Let it all burn.
