Chapter 75 -75: Fear of Visitors from Poor Families

Hearing that Lin Huaiyuan had achieved success in his career and had made a name for himself in Beijing.

Jiang Zhe searched his memory and only then remembered having seen Lin Huaiyuan’s name on the roster at JZ Research Institute before.

For Lin Huaiyuan’s age, he was already a senior researcher at the institute, truly a genius.

“Cousin,” Xia Enci greeted him early, “Cousin, you’ve changed a lot, even handsomer than before.”

Lin Huaiyuan smiled, “You’ve become more beautiful as well.”

“Cousin, this is Xiaozhe and Xiao Meng,” Xia Enci introduced them to him.

After greeting Xiao Meng, Lin Huaiyuan turned to look at Jiang Zhe.

In fact, when the group of people had walked over, Jiang Zhe was the first one to enter his sight.

The striking presence of his rich and enchanting features, which naturally drew attention, made him impossible to overlook, not to mention the outstanding aura about Jiang Zhe.

Lin Huaiyuan didn’t know what she looked like because Jiang Zhe’s social circle didn’t have photos; now that he saw her, she was indeed startlingly beautiful.

“Cousin,” Jiang Zhe’s tone was languid, with a hint of nonchalance.

“Mmm, today I’ve come over; later if the teacher has something to say, they can just tell me. Any of you three will do. I can still fulfill my duties as your cousin, right?”

“Definitely!” Xia Enci said with a smile.

“Come on, I’ll treat you to lunch at noon. Those two classmates can join as well,” Lin Huaiyuan said, referring to Song Xingyu and Four-Eyes.

“Cousin, we don’t have much time at noon, and the parent-teacher conference starts early in the afternoon. We might not have enough time if we go out to eat,” Xia Enci explained the situation to him, “How about we eat at the cafeteria instead?”

Having heard that, Lin Huaiyuan nodded, “That works too.”

He suddenly remembered something and asked Xia Enci, “What about Fanyue?”

“Her, I don’t know,” Xia Enci replied with an unfriendly tone.

Lin Huaiyuan had roughly heard about Jiang Fanyue’s refusal to return to the Jiang Family, but people have their own will, and after living there for over a decade, she had developed attachments too; so, he didn’t think there was anything improper about it.

“Then call her over to join us for lunch. By the way, Grandpa also entrusted me with some things for her,” Lin Huaiyuan said, wanting to keep his promise to Grandpa.

“Oh, then I’ll go call her,” Xia Enci went to class one.

Jiang Zhe kept his eyes down and didn’t join the conversation.

Noticing the slightly awkward atmosphere, Song Xingyu said, “Let’s go to the cafeteria first.”

The group arrived at the cafeteria, with Song Xingyu and Four-Eyes traditionally taking turns holding the table and buying water.

Xia Enci walked over to class one, just as class one had also been dismissed.

Jiang Fanyue was talking to Song Yuan and Zhang Xi.

Upon lifting her head and seeing Xia Enci approaching, Jiang Fanyue’s heart sank, and feelings of displeasure arose.

“I’m going to the restroom. If someone asks for me, tell them I’m not here,” Jiang Fanyue quickly concealed herself, avoiding Xia Enci’s gaze.

“Then we’ll come to find you to eat in a little while,” Zhang Xi said.

Jiang Fanyue disappeared into the crowd without looking back and didn’t stop to catch her breath until she was out of sight at the corner.

She had rushed those few steps, her whole body heaving.

As soon as she had hidden herself, she overheard Xia Enci asking, “Where’s Jiang Fanyue?”

“What do you need her for?” Zhang Xi asked.

“Oh, her cousin’s here. He wants her to join us for a meal.”

Xia Enci didn’t expose Jiang Fanyue’s identity, nor did she use words like “us.” It wasn’t to save her face, but simply because she didn’t want to share anything in common with Jiang Fanyue.

Had it not been improper to speak ill of Jiang Fanyue in front of a long-lost cousin, she would never have come.

Zhang Xi knew the Jiang Family’s situation well. If it had really been that wealthy Jiang Family’s cousin who came, he would have surely contacted Jiang Fanyue directly.

The fact that he needed to ask Xia Enci to inquire meant it was definitely someone from that impoverished Jiang Family.

So the person came, so what? Still trying to get on good terms with Jiang Fanyue, can’t bear to part with her family’s wealth and power?

Zhang Xi snorted, “I don’t know where Fanyue went. Maybe the driver picked her up to go home for dinner. You know how it is, she’s always chauffeured around, treated differently than us. What’s the point of a distant cousin coming to her? If it interferes with her studies, who’s to blame?”

Her words were barbed, causing Xia Enci’s fists to clench tighter.

“Fine, eat it or not, I get that you’re all young ladies from wealthy families,” Xia Enci said, having delivered the message. Whether Jiang Fanyue chose to come or not was her own business now.

After saying that, she turned and left.

Zhang Xi pursed her lips.

Jiang Fanyue had also heard what was said. So, a cousin had come to invite her for a meal.

This family was becoming more and more ridiculous. When they left, they even said they wanted to repay the money spent on raising Jiang Zhe. Now, not a cent had been seen, and the whole family was scrounging here and there, endlessly prattling on.

Worried that Xia Enci might double back, Jiang Fanyue didn’t return to the classroom but went straight to the cafeteria.

Xia Enci returned to the group one step ahead of her. When Lin Huaiyuan saw her come back alone, he asked, “What happened? Where is she?”

“How could a daughter of a wealthy family possibly eat with us? Let’s just eat by ourselves,” Xia Enci sat down.

Lin Huaiyuan seemed thoughtful and then said with a smile, “Order whatever you want, don’t try to save money for your cousin.”

Jiang Zhe ordered two dishes he usually liked, and the others ordered for themselves as well.

Xia Enci was quick to anger and quick to forget, “I want a spicy hot dish, with lots of tripe, and plenty of tender beef!”

Since Lin Huaiyuan was treating, they didn’t eat the communal meals but ordered individually from the deluxe area.

Jiang Fanyue also headed towards the deluxe area. Usually, she was afraid of wasting reading time, and even if she disliked the communal meals, she had to hurry.

But today she didn’t want to meet any cousin, so she purposely went to the deluxe area.

Little did she know, as soon as she arrived, she would bump into them.

Xia Enci saw her and pursed her lips, and Lin Huaiyuan asked with a smile, “Is that Fanyue?”

Hearing her name from a stranger’s mouth, Jiang Fanyue instantly guessed that he must be her so-called cousin.

How could she run into him everywhere!

Jiang Fanyue felt like she had seen a ghost and quickly turned around to leave.

Lin Huaiyuan’s smile faded slightly on his face.

It was then that Xia Enci explained to him, “Jiang Fanyue doesn’t want to have anything to do with us. She never accepts anything given to her by our grandfather or my mom. It’s like the outside world is full of disasters for her. Cousin, I should have told you this earlier…”

“Never mind, let’s just eat,” Lin Huaiyuan wasn’t a petty person. The only reason he had asked about Jiang Fanyue earlier was to avoid showing favoritism.

If the other party was like that, why should he make the effort?

“That’s more like it. It’s just that the deluxe dishes are all freshly cooked, so it’s a bit slower. Please wait a bit longer, cousin.”

“No worries.”

“Xiaozhe, are you hungry? Have some of this snack first,” Xia Enci grabbed a couple of seeds and handed them to Jiang Zhe.
