Chapter 37 -37 What on earth do you want?

“In this test, the whole class’s overall scores improved by an average of more than twenty, nearly thirty points. If everyone puts in more effort in the coming months, isn’t it possible to improve even more?”

Everyone helplessly glanced over at Jiang Zhe and Song Xingyu. Without these two Buddhas pressing down on them, creating a quiet learning environment for Xiao Meng, would they be so passively studying?

“Si Qing, could you distribute these test papers? After you’ve finished, I’ll start by going over some of the common mistakes in the Chinese section with everyone.”

Si Qing went to distribute the test papers.

As Lou Qiaoyin passed by Xiao Meng, she told her, “The piano competition is coming up soon. You should prepare some clothes and put on a little light makeup. If you don’t have any cosmetics, come to me to get some.”

“Thank you, Teacher Lou.”

But while makeup could be borrowed, Xiao Meng didn’t have any formal clothes.

Since the school required uniforms every day, Xiao Meng had never thought about buying anything else.

“Xiaozhe, could you come with me to buy a set of clothes?”

“Sure,” Jiang Zhe didn’t have much in the way of other clothes either.

This piano performance was very formal, and she also needed to prepare an outfit.

After school in the afternoon, Jiang Zhe and Xiao Meng went to a nearby mall.

The top floor of this mall was for dining, and the other floors housed clothing stores.

Upon entering, they were dazzled by the sheer variety of clothes.

Looking at the finely decorated, high-end stores, the Xiao family felt too intimidated to enter.

Jiang Zhe took her on the escalator up to the third floor.

“Should we go up further?” Xiao Meng asked in a low voice.

“Yeah.”

From what Xiao Meng knew, the higher the floor in the mall, the more expensive the clothes.

She had browsed there before while with the Jian family.

Especially the fifth floor, where any piece of clothing would cost at least five digits and up.

Jiang Zhe was wealthy and generous, often gifting her things on a whim.

But Xiao Meng felt there was no need to waste Jiang Zhe’s money.

Xiao Meng lowered her voice, “Xiaozhe, let’s not bother, I think the clothes in that shop we passed on the way here were quite nice.”

“It’s cold outside; I don’t want to go out and look,” Jiang Zhe said.

The implication was clear: they were to choose something from this mall.

“Then let’s go with this one.” Xiao Meng picked a store on the third floor with her eyes closed.

After all, the third floor was bound to be much cheaper.

Just then, Jiang Zhe got a phone call and took it. Since Xiao Meng was willing to browse here, she didn’t mind.

The salesclerk looked up to see two girls in school uniforms coming in and greeted them with a smile.

“You can look around freely. Just tell me what you like,” the clerk said amicably. The two young girls in front of her were pretty, a pleasant sight for the eyes. Even if this sale didn’t pan out, the service wouldn’t be wasted.

“Take a look and see if there’s anything you like,” Jiang Zhe said to Xiao Meng, focusing on her phone call.

Xiao Meng pointed to one of the items and was about to tell Jiang Zhe when she saw Jiang Fanyue walk in.

Two girls were following her, who were often seen with her and somewhat familiar with the Jiang family’s situation.

They had barely approached when they noticed Xiao Meng and Jiang Zhe.

The one with short hair said, “Isn’t that Jiang Zhe and Xiao Meng? Can they even afford to shop in this store?”

“Don’t talk like that, Lulu,” Jiang Fanyue intervened.

Tan Lu pursed her lips, “An orphan, just returned to that what’s-it-called, Wangjia Alley, the slums, not even considering the price of these clothes.”

“Exactly. I heard orphans receive government subsidies; couldn’t be they’re spending that money on buying clothes, right? The state isn’t providing them funds for high-end shopping.”

“Tan Lu, Zhang Xi!” Jiang Fanyue was becoming angry.

Xiao Meng’s face turned red, “We’re buying clothes for the piano competition!”

“A piano competition, what a pretense!” Tan Lu didn’t believe Xiao Meng could achieve any level of distinction.

Jiang Zhe hung up the phone and approached them.

Her brows and eyes were cold, casting a glance at them.

Tan Lu and Zhang Xi opened their mouths slightly, meeting her gaze, feeling a bit guilty.

Why was her look so intimidating?

Jiang Fanyue put on a smile, “Sister, this is our own family’s store after all. You’re right to come and look at clothes. If you spot something you like, I’ll have them wrap it up for you. Mom said, as long as you’re willing to speak up, you won’t miss out on anything from the Jiang family.”

“Xiao Meng, let’s go.” Jiang Zhe hadn’t paid attention to the brand earlier, but now recognized it seemed somewhat familiar.

“Sister, don’t be angry. Tan Lu and the others mean no harm. If money is tight back home, you can consider this dress a gift from me,” Fanyue offered.

Jiang Fanyue picked up two pieces and handed them over.

Jiang Zhe turned her head to look at her, her eyes seemingly filled with frost.

Jiang Fanyue involuntarily withdrew her hand from the cold, “Then you…”

Jiang Zhe averted her gaze and walked away with Xiao Meng.

Jiang Fanyue wanted to ask, what do you really want?

That was the question she had always wanted to ask Jiang Zhe!

If Jiang Zhe didn’t care about anything related to the Jiang family or herself, why did she repeatedly appear around her?

If she did care, why reject everything offered to her?

Could it be that she was desperately trying to grasp everything, including the Gu family and Gu Jiaheng?

At that thought, Jiang Fanyue shivered. The Jiang family had arranged to meet a well-known designer tonight, hoping to recruit them to the Jiang family; could it be that Jiang Zhe had heard and came to observe?

She would rather have Jiang Zhe openly ask for money, clothes, or jewelry—all of which she could provide.

Yet, Jiang Zhe desired what she was afraid to lose!

“Fanyue, Jiang Zhe really is something, voluntarily left the Jiang family and now puts on this act. What’s more, the Jiang family supported her until she grew up; she isn’t grateful at all and still has demands?” Tan Lu continued speaking without restraint.

“That’s enough, stop talking,” Zhang Xi, seeing Jiang Fanyue’s unease, quickly intervened, “Let’s go back now and come for shopping next time.”

Zhang Xi and Tan Lu soon left, and Jiang Fanyue headed towards the top floor.

The designer meeting was taking place at the restaurant on the top floor.

Normally, such a venue wouldn’t have been chosen for the meeting, but the designer expressed interest in checking out the clothes at the store and seeing what the Jiang family had to offer, so Liang Jinlan happily made the arrangements.

Jiang Fanyue quickly ascended the stairs, Liang Jinlan taking her hand and saying, “Designer Xu is already here!”

Designer Xu, Xun Liya, had earned some fame over the years and even won awards abroad.

Having lost J, Liang Jinlan reached out widely, and after much persuasion, Xun Liya finally agreed to the meeting; after several phone conversations, Liang Jinlan felt confident about securing Xun Liya’s commitment.

“Designer Xu,” Jiang Fanyue greeted with a smile.

She had vaguely heard about Liang Jinlan’s troubles and knew this designer was very important to her family.
