Chapter 80: Sister Lan, hello, a respectful greeting from your brother’s friend [2 updates]
Xue Yiwei was haughty and couldn’t stand the presence of a personality like Jiang Zhengxue at Jiangcheng No.7 Middle School.
She had personally tried to educate Jiang Zhengxue, telling her to restrain her temper because high school is a place for studying, not for wild behavior.
But there’s a saying, “even a powerful dragon can’t repress a local snake,” and Jiang Zhengxue was completely unreasonable and utterly lacking in morality, making rational arguments ineffective.
Xue Yiwei had no clue about the backing Jiang Zhengxue had, which allowed her to act so outrageously at No.7 Middle School.
At least she had never heard the “Jiang” surname before, indicating that Jiang Zhengxue was not from a prominent family.
Before coming to Jiangcheng, Xue Yiwei’s parents had told her that apart from the few major families in Yunjing not to be provoked, there were only three major listed companies like Zhaoyan Group to consider, and none of them had the surname Jiang.
Compared to Ye Wanlan, Xue Yiwei disliked a delinquent like Jiang Zhengxue even more, someone with poor academic performance and a group of lackeys, from head to toe devoid of any hint of intelligence.
“But that’s Jiang Zhengxue…” The girl walking with her became even more afraid, “Last time she even cracked a boy’s head open, and that boy was a black belt in taekwondo. Maybe I should go get help.”
As she said this and was about to do so, her shoulder was firmly gripped by Xue Yiwei, making her unable to move.
The girl was surprised: “Yiwei, you…”
During their conversation, Jiang Zhengxue had already taken off her racing helmet, revealing an exquisitely beautiful face.
Her hair was a deep red, which under the sunlight looked like flowing flames, very eye-catching.
It was as though a memory from the distant past dawned upon Ye Wanlan.
“It’s Jiang Zhengxue.” Su Xueqing became alert, “Ah Lan, this must be your first time seeing her; she’s rarely at school. I’ll hold her off, you go find a teacher.”
At that moment, Jiang Zhengxue stepped forward.
Witnessing this scene, Xue Yiwei’s feeling of satisfaction grew stronger, and the malice in her eyes almost spilled over.
So what if Ye Wanlan likes to show off and be flashy? When facing a violent individual with no morals like Jiang Zhengxue, wouldn’t she have to humbly submit?
However, just when all the onlookers thought Jiang Zhengxue was about to make trouble for Ye Wanlan, they saw her bow politely to Ye Wanlan with a sweet voice, “Sister Lan, hello.”
“…”
The area in front of the teaching building suddenly fell silent.
Xue Yiwei’s ears buzzed, and she couldn’t comprehend the meaning of those three words for a moment.
Jiang Zhengxue then directed her followers indifferently, “You guys, hurry up and get someone.”
The underlings collectively bowed and said in unison, their voices thundering, “Sister Lan, hello!”
Su Xueqing: “…”
Su Xueqing became confused.
Su Xueqing started to question life.
Su Xueqing felt something was wrong with the world.
“Why make such a big fuss?” Ye Wanlan asked her, “Where have you been during this time?”
“I took a trip to Yan City.” Jiang Zhengxue smiled sweetly, then acted aggrieved as she played with her fingers, “Brother is bad; he wouldn’t take me to see you. I asked him for a long time and he wouldn’t agree, so I had to come back myself.”
Su Xueqing stared at Jiang Zhengxue’s childish gestures, feeling disillusioned with life.
Is this the Jiang Zhengxue she knew?
The notorious school tyrant from Jiangcheng No.1 Middle School?
She must be blind!
“Alright, let’s go and have a meal together now that you’re back,” Ye Wanlan said, then turned to Su Xueqing, “Xueqing, could you help me ask for leave from the teachers? I’ll just go straight to the exams next week.”
Su Xueqing, still in a daze, nodded subconsciously.
Jiang Zhengxue ordered her followers to disperse and left the school gate with Ye Wanlan.
“So she knows Jiang Zhengxue, that scared me to death.” The girl gave a sigh of relief in surprise, then puzzled, “But how do they know each other?”
Jiang Zhengxue, usually with a cold face and a ‘keep away’ sign, turned into a docile little kitty in front of Ye Wanlan?
Even with their own eyes, they found it hard to believe.
Xue Yiwei clenched her teeth, shaking with anger, the previous joy doused by cold water, leaving only fury.
Why is even Jiang Zhengxue so close to Ye Wanlan?
Why?
She really couldn’t see any redeeming qualities in Ye Wanlan, who only knew how to use others’ generosity and exploit resources that weren’t hers for favor – could the other students really not see through such motives?
Thinking of this, Xue Yiwei lost all appetite for lunch and, ignoring the girl who was with her, went straight back to the classroom.

On the other side, Ye Wanlan invited Cheng Qingli and Jiang Xulin into the “One big happy family” group chat.
“Sister Qingli, over here,” Jiang Zhengxue waved to Cheng Qingli, “You sit on my left, Sister Lan on my right, and we’ll be a perfect family.”
Cheng Qingli was also delighted: “Great, yay!”
Only Jiang Xulin was in disbelief: “How come your voice suddenly became so high-pitched?”
Was this the same nefarious rocket launcher creature?
It wasn’t this voice when she cursed him.
“Who’s speaking high-pitched? My voice has always been like this,” Jiang Zhengxue retorted with feigned grievance, “Sister Lan, look, my brother is bullying me again.”
Ye Wanlan gave Jiang Xulin a brief glance.
Jiang Xulin found himself without a comeback, resigned to swallowing his frustrations.
“Sister Lan, I didn’t even get to thank you properly yet. I’ll buy lunch today,” said Jiang Zhengxue, “My aunt always mentions you, saying she admires you a lot.”
Ye Wanlan nodded and smiled, “And I admire President Quan.”
Quan Zhaoning, by her own merit, developed Zhaoyan Group into one of the top 100 enterprises in the country, demonstrating immense competence.
“Now I’m just waiting for my aunt to divorce that phoenix man. He dared to poison my aunt; I’ll kill him when the time comes!” Jiang Zhengxue crushed the cup in her hand.
Cheng Qingli watched the compressed cup.
Jiang Zhengxue sensed her gaze and quickly let go, blinking innocently, “Oh dear, Sister Qingli, I’m just naturally super strong, forgive my clumsiness.”
Jiang Xulin huffed, “When is the food coming? I’m starving to death here.”
To nurture the craft of Su embroidery, he had pulled an all-nighter yesterday and hadn’t eaten for a long time.
Jiang Zhengxue silently mouthed the word “pig.”
Jiang Xulin felt so irritated that his heart ached.
Ten minutes later, several dishes were served.
Jiang Xulin angrily tore open a pair of chopsticks.
However, no sooner had he picked up a piece of food than he blacked out and collapsed, face first into the beef bowl.
Before losing consciousness, he thought to himself, this is bad.
“Ah!” Cheng Qingli jumped up, shouting at the top of her lungs, “Boss, your food is poisoned!”
“…”
The restaurant fell silent for three seconds before the customers scattered in panic.
The owner was also pale with fright, “Impossible, the beef was freshly slaughtered!”
Jiang Zhengxue sneered, “His low blood sugar is acting up, he’s not dead. Take him to the hospital for an injection.”
Cheng Qingli: “…”
Real siblings indeed.
“Forget it. Let’s not waste the hospital’s resources.” Jiang Zhengxue seemed used to Jiang Xulin’s condition. She forcefully pinched his chin and shoved food into his mouth.
Though her methods were violent, they were effective.
Not long after, Jiang Xulin came to.
Realizing he had a serious problem, he murmured, “I…”
“You have this problem with hypoglycemia and still you don’t remember?” Ye Wanlan’s voice was indifferent, “When we get back, I’ll prescribe you some medicine. Eat and sleep on schedule. Got it?”
Jiang Xulin was gloomy, “It really was an accident.”
Cheng Qingli covertly saw the note Jiang Zhengxue left for Jiang Xulin—
[Same mom.]
Cheng Qingli: “…”
Okay, seems there’s nothing wrong with that.
Indeed, what a pair of respectful siblings!

Meanwhile, at the Zhou Family Old Residence.
It had only been after Zhou Hechen was grounded that Xu Li finally had time to visit him.
Zhou Hechen’s eyes were closed, clearly in no mood to talk to anyone.
Xu Li tried to start a conversation, “Brother Hechen, guess who I saw yesterday at the financial center?”
“Who?” Zhou Hechen’s tone was cold and unenthusiastic.
Xu Li said, “I saw that sister of yours from the Zhou family, the one studying at Jiangcheng Academy of Fine Arts. Forgot her name.”
Zhou Hechen thought for a moment still not recalling the name, and said impatiently, “So many people in the Zhou family, do you have to tell me every time you run into one?”
The last time he paid three hundred million for a fake painting, and of the money he recovered, it was only ninety million. As a result, he was suspended by Patriarch Zhou and Madam Zhou, and also wasn’t allowed to see Sheng Yunyi.
“The problem is that she was eating with Ye Wanlan,” Xu Li pressed on anxiously, “Brother Hechen, could it be that Ye Wanlan, finding one route blocked, is searching for another by trying to cozy up with another member of the Zhou family?”
Zhou Hechen scoffed, taking a drag from his cigarette, “Then she’s miscalculating.”
What status could a person whose name he couldn’t even remember have in the Zhou family?
He was set to inherit the Zhou Family, where his word was law. No matter how many people from the Zhou Family Ye Wanlan knew, it couldn’t have any impact on him.

However, Xu Li’s words did please him a bit.
He knew that Ye Wanlan had always been playing hard to get, just that this time her game was dragging on.
“Qin Xian has been discharged from the hospital, hasn’t he?” Zhou Hechen asked.
“Yes, but he’s still not very mobile and mostly needs a wheelchair,” Xu Li replied, “Uncle Qin and Aunt Qin are planning to invite someone from the Yunjing Su Family to take a look at him.”
“Okay,” Zhou Hechen responded indifferently, “I’ll go see him after I get out in a few days.”
Xu Li nodded, “Brother Hechen, don’t worry about it. Uncle and Aunt are just concerned about you. You were a victim too.”
Zhou Hechen frowned tightly and didn’t speak.
He had someone look into it, yet they couldn’t find out who the young man in VIP Room No. 7 was.
It gnawed at him.
But he would keep searching. If it weren’t for that young man, he wouldn’t have impulsively spent three hundred million on a fake painting.
Seeing his mood, Xu Li tactfully said, “Brother Hechen, I’ll leave you be.”
He left the Zhou Family residence, got into his car, and received a call from Qin Xian.
“Hello, Xu Li, where are you?”
“Just left Brother Hechen’s. What’s up?”
“Come to Yuandao Chemical Plant, I’ve got something interesting to show you.”
Xu Li was taken aback, “What’s interesting?”
“Ye Wanlan’s uncle has been detained for leaking chemical agents,” Qin Xian sneered, “Isn’t that a good show?”
Fighting him?
