Chapter 1206: 831 Elder Sister (Double Request for Monthly Tickets!)_2

Luo Peng laughed and said, "The aunty washing vegetables in the kitchen just now, she definitely knows the answer to that question. But Westminster Abbey, what that is, she definitely doesn’t know. So between her and me, who has seen more of the world?"

Still speechless.

"So, the difference between people isn’t something that can be measured simply by whether they have seen the world or not. It’s about whether they can see the universe, see themselves, and see all beings through any facet of this world."

Qu Jing probably hasn’t seen the Luo Peng of the past.

Not yet the CEO of Tianci, just Young Master Luo who was a student. Back then, during meals, nine out of ten of his words would be about beautiful women.

So at this moment, Qu Jing looked at him with respect, clapping his hands.

"Clap clap clap..."

Everyone turned their attention away.

"Mr. Luo’s words are thought-provoking."

Luo Peng modestly smiled and turned his head to look at Jiang Chen.

"Now it’s your turn."

Jiang Chen remained unmoved, with no intention of showing off, continued to pick up vegetables with his chopsticks. "You continue."

After finishing the meal.

Everyone left on their own.

Luo Peng drove off.

Qu Jing probably had to "work overtime," so he left on his electric bike.

Xu Siyi and the girls went back to their dorm.

Jiang Chen and Li Shuru went for a walk inside Dong University.

"I never quite understood why you became friends with him, but now I do."

"His eloquence wasn’t this good before, probably honed from mingling more often."

Jiang Chen was objective and fair, observing the juniors and sophomores passing by and said with a laugh, "But deep down, he’s actually more cynical than me. It’s hard to imagine, right? A rich second-generation actually empathizing with the poor."

"Which is why you can’t judge a book by its cover."

Li Shuru turned her head, blinking.

Jiang Chen smiled wryly, ignoring the attention from around them and nonchalantly held his girlfriend’s hand.

Li Shuru was also very forthcoming, holding her boyfriend’s hand in return.

"Luo Peng is just like that. Tell Xu Siyi and the others not to take it to heart."

"Do you think they will?"

Li Shuru retorted.

Jiang Chen fell silent.

That’s true.

Luo Peng was never the frivolous playboy he seemed to be on the surface. Xu Siyi and the others, who had also ’seen the world,’ were definitely smart girls.

"Are they still thinking about hooking up with rich young masters from wealthy families?"

Jiang Chen asked jokingly.

Li Shuru shook her head, squeezing her boyfriend’s hand, "No, they’re just looking for ’stocks with potential’ now."

Jiang Chen couldn’t help but chuckle, holding his girlfriend’s hand as they strolled through their alma mater, and said, "I think someone like Qu Jing is quite good, hardworking, steady, resilient. Guo Ran has a good eye."

"Why don’t you help them out?"

Jiang Chen inquired.

Li Shuru, who was fully capable of helping her roommates improve their circumstances and perhaps even change their lives, said softly, "Why don’t you help?"

That’s true.

During the meal just now, Jiang Chen certainly had the chance—it would’ve been a simple gesture.

But people have their pride.

Not everyone is willing to accept charity from others.

Jiang Chen gave a wry smile.

"It’s alright to live a tough life, as long as you can feel happiness, that’s already better than countless others."

Li Shuru nodded, looking ahead, "Getting sentimental."

"..."

Jiang Chen couldn’t help but laugh and cry.

"Do you and Si Yi have some kind of secret?"

Li Shuru turned her head, asking as if it were an offhand remark.

"No, don’t listen to Luo Peng’s nonsense."

Jiang Chen professed his innocence. Although he once accidentally saw Xu Siyi changing clothes, he could only be described by four words.

Absolutely clear conscience.

"Really?"

Li Shuru looked into his eyes.

"Really."

Jiang Chen replied assertively, "But she did deceive me out of some money."

"When?"

Jiang Chen smiled as he recounted the past incident.

"You gave me those six thousand, and she conned them right from you. You guys weren’t in cahoots, right?"

"No wonder Si Yi isn’t wearing that bracelet anymore."

"..."

Jiang Chen did not join the banter.

Xu Siyi seemed to have a different sort of feeling towards him, he had felt it from very early on, certainly different from Zheng Jingjing, not like the way one treats a roommate’s boyfriend.

Of course.

He’s someone with a high moral standard.

He would never do something utterly heartless, even if Xu Siyi was indeed a well-known beauty at Dong University.

Li Shuru did not delve deeper into the topic.

"Miss Shi came to look for me."

Suddenly changing the subject.

"Who?"

Jiang Chen hadn’t caught up with the sudden turn.

"Shi Qianxi."

Jiang Chen felt a tightness in his chest but tried to sound calm, "What did she come for?"

"To chat."

Li Shuru mentioned it casually.

"Chatting?"

"Yeah, she said she was passing by and I invited her to have some milk tea."

"What did you talk about?"

Jiang Chen asked tentatively.

Li Shuru showed no significant change in expression, walking at an unhurried pace as her boyfriend led her, enjoying the dwindling days of their university life.

"She asked me if I had an older sister."

Jiang Chen was caught off guard!

What on earth was the witch thinking?

"...Maybe she’s under a lot of pressure at work, try to be understanding."

"I think she seemed quite alright."

Li Shuru expressed a different opinion, then continued reporting: "She asked me to acknowledge her as my sworn elder sister."

Jiang Chen was slightly stunned, his eye involuntarily twitching.

Sworn younger sisters or daughters are quite common.

But a sworn older sister?

"You didn’t agree, did you?"

He asked quickly.

At this moment, several terms Jiang Chen had heard of involuntarily flashed through his mind.

Seniority manipulation!

"No."

Jiang Chen breathed a sigh of relief, then hurriedly said: "Don’t pay her any attention. She has a younger brother, actually a cousin, who has been tormented by her from childhood to the point of loathing life, and now as a middle schooler, trembles at the sight of her,"

The extent of Miss Shi’s notoriety actually did not need his reminding.

"What if she comes looking for me again?"

Li Shuru looked at him.

This was indeed a problem.

The witch’s personality has always been to never give up until she achieves her goal.

"She probably doesn’t have that much time. Or you can report it to the security department at school and ask them not to let her in in the future."

True to form as a former top student, his quick thinking was enviable!

Li Shuru remained silent as she watched him for a while, making Jiang Chen feel somewhat uncomfortable.

"At the last New Year’s Eve gala, she was a VIP of the school."

"..."

Jiang Chen fell into silence.

"It’s ok, I’ll talk to her later."

Though now, she indeed is someone whom the Xiang Family’s couple would escort with a crowd, the key point is, in front of Miss Shi, it’s hardly effective.

"It’s fine."

Li Shuru pursed her lips with a smile, incredibly considerate, and shook her boyfriend’s hand, "Her temper is much better than before, and she’s quite amiable to me, I can handle it."

It’s all a facade!

A weasel paying a New Year’s visit to a chicken, with no good intentions at all?!

Shu Rui is still too naive.

How can a student compete with a society person?

Of course, Jiang Chen can only keep these thoughts in his heart, as he can’t voice them out.

"I also chatted with Sister Fang Qing."

Surprise after surprise, leaving Jiang Chen struggling to cope.

It seems her life isn’t that idle either.

"Has Sister Fang Qing resigned?"

"Yeah."

"That’s a great opportunity; Sister Fang Qing is so capable, we could hire her to work with us."

Jiang Chen furrowed his brows.

Though this idea seemed to be without issue and quite logical, he couldn’t shake the feeling that there was something not quite right.

But looking at Li Shuru, he couldn’t detect any hints.

"...I mentioned it to her, but she didn’t agree."

"If you propose and she doesn’t agree, it might be different if I do."

They locked eyes.

Jiang Chen didn’t know why, but he felt a little disoriented.

Then suddenly.

He inexplicably thought of Pei Yunxi.

And became even more confused.

Really, he didn’t know how Luo Peng, that playboy, managed to swim so effortlessly among so many girls before?

Wait a minute.

Why am I thinking about this?

He and that Luo Peng rascal are not the same kind of person at all.

"Are you feeling unwell?"

Seeing her boyfriend looking a bit off, Li Shuru asked with concern.

"I feel a bit tight in the chest.

Jiang Chen exhaled, forcing a smile, following his girlfriend’s lead: "Then you ask Sister Fang Qing about it."

"Okay."

The two arrived at the bottom of the dormitory building.

"I’m going up now."

Jiang Chen nodded.

There were quite a few people coming and going around the girls’ dormitory, but Li Shuru was never shy. She took the initiative to tilt her head up, gave Jiang Chen a peck on the lips, then turned around.

Jiang Chen was also quite open, basking in the varied glances from all directions with a smile, only to have his expression change drastically once Li Shuru walked into the dormitory building.

On the second floor.

Li Shuru stopped by the window on the stairs, looking down at someone below with furrowed brows and sighing, her gaze flickering lightly.
