High School Belle Fell in Love with Me-Chapter 40: So the Traitor Was You All Along!

Chapter 40: Chapter 40: So the Traitor Was You All Along!

Li Yang felt strange when he heard Jiang Banxia’s last sentence.

Especially when he recalled some previous events.

"Is your stepmother bad to you?"

Li Yang understood Jiang Banxia’s feelings; it’s normal to rebel at eighteen.

He was also that kind of person; how could anyone at a young age truly understand life? Otherwise, the word ’suffer’ wouldn’t have been invented for nothing.

Jiang Banxia said, "She’s fine. My mom hasn’t been as good to me as she is. I basically see new clothes every time I go back home every week, and when the latest model of phone comes out, she buys it for me right away. Besides working, she picks me up from school, and when I return home at night, she specially prepares food for me. Most importantly, she’s super good at math and can solve any difficult problem. The question you asked last time, I really didn’t know the answer, but she’s already solved it. So, just give me two more days, and I can solve it myself without her help."

Li Yang: "..."

"What about your real mom?"

"She went abroad when I was about ten years old, and even the divorce papers were sent back from overseas."

"Did she send you any child support?"

Jiang Banxia: "..."

She knew her real mom hadn’t contributed as much as her dad. In fact, she didn’t dislike Dou Ying at all and even thought she was the best person in the world.

Maybe it’s inherently contradictory. After all, she worked hard for ten whole years to reconcile her parents, and accepting Dou Ying meant those ten years were meaningless.

Denying yourself is certainly harder than denying others.

"I encountered a few difficult problems yesterday, could Master Jiang help me again..."

Li Yang didn’t continue the topic and formally entered the task-solving rhythm, planning to take the chance today to ask about the last few questions.

"Mm, okay."

Meanwhile, Dou Ying also arrived at the company and, just like yesterday, started checking Xue Ning’s account.

As a vice president, there weren’t many things in the hall that could catch her attention; most of the time it was boring, thinking about what to eat in the evening, what to make for Jiang Banxia, or browsing online to pick some clothes for Jiang Banxia.

Unfortunately, Jiang Banxia hasn’t been coming home recently. Jiang Yaoting has been trying all this time, thinking that after so long, Jiang Banxia should have figured it out. Sadly, for reasons unknown, that girl remains quite resolute.

How can it be better at Xue Ning’s place than at home?

Food, sleep... it’s even on the sixth floor, climbing the stairs every day must be exhausting.

Of course, her main worry is for Jiang Banxia’s mental state, which might seriously affect her performance in the college entrance exam. 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎

If Jiang Banxia’s usual level is around 650, she’s not too worried about her state. With Jiang Banxia’s ability, there’s at most a ten-point fluctuation; what university she qualifies for remains the same.

But aiming for Qingbei requires her to be in top form, at least reaching her previous level.

Ten points could mean heaven and earth.

Dou Ying herself graduated from Shangcai and was once one of the top twenty students in Jiangcheng First High School; she understood the difference in educational achievement.

Qingbei really stands alone.

Not to mention the scholarship numbers at any Qingbei school exceeding a hundred or two, their teaching resources are unparalleled nationwide, almost disconnecting from other schools in terms of data.

Jiang Banxia is someone with strong learning ability, naturally fitting places to compete with the best of the best.

After the market opened, she unexpectedly found that the stocks held in Xue Ning’s account rose sharply on the plays.

Due to leveraged positions, Xue Ning’s account made twenty thousand in just a short time.

Of course, that’s not the most important aspect; the key is today’s plays directly validated the stock.

After yesterday’s close, a notice of high dividends was announced, and today’s plays indicate no discrepancies among the leading funds, promising prospects.

Ningning’s friend, he must be a pro.

Quite simply, either he has insider information, or he’s fully confident.

In yesterday’s fierce gamble, rushing in without hesitation suggests analyzing the movement of large funds.

It’s virtually impossible to use insider information; anyone mentioning insider tactics is usually a fraud. Real insider deals never leave the meeting room.

In Dou Ying’s view, the fundamental ability needed to profit in the stock market is spotting funds.

If you can’t see where the money is, how can you profit?

The stock market is essentially a fund game, not some so-called conceptual themes or value investments.

Such people are usually very rational, matching well with Ningning...

After closing and confirming the earnings, Dou Ying sent a message to Xue Ning.

After ensuring she had no class, she directly called her.

"Ningning, your boyfriend is good. Although evaluating by profit alone isn’t necessarily right, it seems he genuinely cares for you."

On the other end, Xue Ning was confused, "Master wife, what’s going on? I don’t quite understand."

"Your account is making money."

"Hmm? How much did it earn?"

"About twenty thousand on the first day."

"Wow..."

Dou Ying could sense Xue Ning’s joy through the phone and smilingly said, "Do you want to bring him home for New Year?"

"Well... I’ll consider it."

"Alright, you think about it. However, about your account, don’t tell that person. Though I mean no harm, you can’t test people, lest it makes them uncomfortable."

"Mm, okay."

...

Outside the office, Xue Ning put down the phone, unable to contain her excitement.

Five thousand a month, there’s hope!

Anyway, there’s no class in the afternoon; she was in the office to make room for Jiang Banxia and Li Yang.

It’s already past four, just the right time to go back and invite the two of them for dinner.

Twenty minutes later, she returned.

When she opened the door, she found only Jiang Banxia in the living room.

Jiang Banxia, sitting on the sofa, seemed in low spirits.

She looked like she’d been wronged.

Damn Li Yang, did he do something to Jiang Banxia?

So she asked, "Xiaxia, where’s Li Yang?"

Jiang Banxia glanced at Xue Ning and then said aggrievedly, "Ning, he suddenly said a lot to me about how I should be living at home, that there are only ten days left until the college entrance exam, I should be adjusting my state, and how he won’t be coming tomorrow..."

"Hmm? You seemed happy recently."

Jiang Banxia nodded in agreement, "Yeah, I don’t feel there’s any problem; I already feel ready for the exam."

Xue Ning frowned; Li Yang’s excuse didn’t quite hold water.

Every night when she chatted with Jiang Banxia, she could feel Jiang Banxia’s mood was quite good.

"Ning, do you think there’s a possibility my dad paid him off to force him to leave here?"

"Huh?"

"Damn Li Yang, how can he betray us at this time!"

"Xiaxia, I didn’t tell anyone about this matter."

Jiang Banxia sheepishly said, "I mentioned it to my dad during lunch... I saw how hard he was working these days and didn’t want to hide it from him..."

Xue Ning: "???? So the real traitor is you!"
