Chapter 717 - 15: The Cannon Fodder Best Friend of the Tragic Romance Heroine (15)
In terms of study, he definitely has the ability to teach Jiang Lai, who graduated from a 985 university."Which school’s graduate program do you want to apply for?"
"The same university as you."
"Still in Computer Science?"
"Yes."
Lu Zhixing nodded.
"You’re so smart, this school is not challenging for you. Come to my office later, and I’ll tutor you every lunch break."
Jiang Lai shook his head.
"No need, I can manage myself. You’re very busy, and everyone has their own tasks; mutual encouragement is enough."
When Jiang Lai spoke, his tone carried a confidence that made people take notice.
Lu Zhixing nodded, then escorted his mother and sister to the entrance of the community. Before Jiang Lai left, he took a card from his wallet.
"Here, don’t refuse. As your brother, I haven’t bought you anything nor spent time with you. I can’t think of any other way to make it up within a short time frame. This is my way of showing care. If I’ve done anything that upset you, please forgive me. It’s my first time being a brother, and I lack experience."
Lu Zhixing was always so cautious in whatever he did, whether dealing with partners or with his sister.
Afraid his actions might upset her.
Jiang Lai accepted the card.
"Thank you, brother."
"Don’t be formal with me. I don’t have much else, just this... a lot."
Hmm, this statement is even more attractive than a domineering president’s speech.
Jiang Lai felt that her elder brother might become the next successor to the domineering president, becoming a beloved one.
The card was black, a diamond private banking card, something only certain top rich people in the world could access. Jiang Lai had seen and owned one in previous worlds, so seeing it again didn’t cause much emotional stir, just knowing the money inside was inexhaustible, only growing.
Seeing Jiang Lai’s expressionless face, Lu Zhixing thought she didn’t understand, so he smiled slightly and went back.
Jiang Lai realized that in a world of domineering presidents, money was just a number, inflation seemed different from other worlds, and it’s normal for a billion or two to disappear suddenly.
After returning home, Jiang Lai directly entered the study.
At this time, the desk in the study was piled high with exam preparation books.
Stacks of green and blue exercise books almost drowning a person.
"Sigh..."
Jiang Lai looked at so many questions and sighed.
Little Buding rarely came online.
"You’re so wealthy now, why are you bothering with these? If you want to go to graduate school, your brother can get you into any university worldwide with a word."
"Shut your dog mouth."
"I wasn’t wrong, was I? It’s not your task, why work so hard."
"This body is just a nerd, always at odds with itself and struggled only to waste effort; she has lingering resentment, it’s uncomfortable for me staying in her body."
Jiang Lai does it for herself.
After all, she had to live many years substituting for the original host.
In that case, why not fulfill her wish to make herself comfortable.
Little Buding was thoughtful.
"I didn’t know you had a conscience."
"Don’t think everyone’s conscience has been eaten by dogs like yours."
"Alright, alright, go study then, you’re free anyway, but don’t forget to protect your adoptive mother, the protagonist aura in this world is quite strong."
"Hmm."
Let’s give it a try.
See if the aura of those two can still affect cannon fodder like them.
Night is quite suitable for studying, pulling the curtains, shutting the door, turning on the lights, everything stayed quiet without a sound.
Before studying, Jiang Lai didn’t need to prepare anything, just a stack of test papers, a reference book, and a pen, and she could study immersively until dawn.
Going to bed after five, then sleeping till noon.
After waking up, lunch was already on the table.
Cai Xian had gone somewhere.
During lunch, Little Buding told her.
"Cai Xian has been tangled by those vampires, you’d better hurry, her heart isn’t in good condition."
The last sip of soup was held in Jiang Lai’s mouth.
Downstairs, Zhao Zhaozhao emerged from some corner, noticing Jiang Lai was in a hurry, followed behind asking.
"What’s wrong? Did something happen?"
"None of your business."
Zhao Zhaozhao looked at her, biting his teeth secretly, feeling Jiang Lai suddenly being cold to him was due to her leaning on a big tree.
She restrained herself from dissatisfaction, showing concern.
"Are you looking for Aunt Cai? I saw her this morning; she was taken away by your brother and them. Everyone’s face looked quite bad.
What’s wrong? Has something happened at home?"
Though Zhao Zhaozhao said that, she clearly knew what was going on.
After all, a good show was performed at the community gate today.
The Jiang Family gathered here noisily demanding to see Cai Xian, the property manager handled well, the security couldn’t let them in, so they called the resident Cai Xian.
After a while Cai Xian came downstairs, the excited Jiang Dao Hai almost hit her, but was pulled away by the security in the end.
The scene was chaotic, many residents jogging saw this splash, Zhao Zhaozhao was watching too.
She had to work, certainly couldn’t step forward to help, only listened from the side.
The grandmother of the Jiang Family pushed the paralyzed grandfather, cried and lamented about what Cai Xian did.
Originally, to buy the house here, Cai Xian directly sold the one they lived in, without anyone’s consent.
Additionally, she utterly cut off her son’s house and car supply, and Jiang Zhi, who had just faced immense pressure after childbirth, was now overwhelmed knowing not what to do.
Now the whole family was at the end of their rope, discovering Cai Xian bought a new house here, rushed aggressively to the community entrance shouting early in the morning.
Everyone in the community now knew about Cai Xian.
Abandoning family, living alone in a luxurious flat, leaving a big family for dead.
A paralyzed elder, a crying baby, a son full of hatred, and an irate husband.
The scene was undeniably spectacular.
Of course, Zhao Zhaozhao couldn’t say it like this to Jiang Lai.
After all, they are good friends; since they are friends, some face-saving should be left.
But as friends, words still need to be spoken.
"Jiang Lai, since you’re living good days now, better not to flaunt it loudly anywhere, you know Wang Lili’s nature, it must be you showing off too much and she noticed, otherwise how would they find this place."
Wang Lili was a mutual friend.
They both had each other’s contact.
Hearing this, Jiang Lai understood instantly.
"Whoever does these cheap gossiping things knows what they did in their heart. Being unable to see others live well, isn’t only Wang Lili who can do it.
Zhao Zhaozhao, you aren’t jealous of me, are you?"
