Obsessive Tycoon and His Swan Girl
Chapter 135 - 135 135 Not Going

Chapter 135: Chapter 135: Not Going Chapter 135: Chapter 135: Not Going Jiang Zhe hadn’t directly asked Wu Yingze last time why his injuries were so severe.

Hearing the old Madame Qin bring up the topic, she said, “I only injured one of his arms and a rib at that time. Qin Jingchen, do you know why Wu Yingze’s injuries were so serious?”

“Maybe his own family beat him up to frame you,” Qin Jingchen said without even blinking an eye.

Jiang Zhe had thought that only she could blatantly lie with a straight face, yet Qin Jingchen was clearly even more skilled than herself.

Mrs. Wu would at most produce a medical report of severe injuries, how could she bear to beat her own son?

When the old Madame Qin saw the exchange of looks between the two, she understood everything.

She could roughly guess how Wu Yingze got those injuries.

Her grandson had never been one to play by the rules, and now the granddaughter-in-law he had found seemed to match his temper very well.

The old Madame Qin grew happier the more she thought about it.

She pulled Jiang Zhe to sit down, “One who does injustice will eventually destroy himself. That boy deserves his injuries. However, Jingchen, you still should be criticized. How could you let her stay at the police station all night?”

Jiang Zhe glanced at her, her lips curling up slightly.

The old Madame Qin was about to say more to Qin Jingchen when he pre-emptively said, “I’ll go get some fruit.”

“Hey, look at him, he doesn’t even want to listen when I criticize him a bit more,” the old Madame Qin said, puffing up with irritation.

Jiang Zhe spoke calmly, “It was my idea to stay to cooperate with the investigation. After all, having injured someone, it’s necessary to give the police an explanation.”

Upon hearing this, the old Madame Qin spoke with admiration, “With Fanyue always abiding by the law like this, he truly is a role model for his peers, a benchmark in his school. Jingchen, you should learn from him too.”

Qin Jingchen, carrying the fruit, looked at Jiang Zhe and nodded, “I am learning.”

Jiang Zhe inferred that the old Madame Qin’s trip from Beijing to Jincheng was not only to see if she was injured, but also to scold Qin Jingchen.

In Jiang Zhe’s bag were quite a few Cai’er candies. She took out her backpack and poured out two handfuls, “Does Grandma Qin like snacks?”

As soon as the old Madame Qin saw the Cai’er candies, she was extremely surprised, “These are…”

“I have a cousin who works at the Pharmaceutical Research Institute; he brought these back for me last time.” Jiang Zhe didn’t tell a single lie in that sentence.

The things were indeed given by Lin Huaiyuan.

“Lin Huaiyuan, a senior researcher at JZ Pharmaceutical Research Institute,” Qin Jingchen added.

The old Madame Qin immediately nodded, “It’s so kind of you to have thought of me.”

These items were not easy to buy, they were priceless and it was common to encounter fakes.

The ones Jiang Zhe brought were all top-quality fine goods, evident at a glance.

If they were indeed from the research institute, then they were truly precious.

After lunch, Jiang Zhe had to return to school.

Qin Jingchen went to see her off.

Once in the car, Jiang Zhe said, “Grandma Qin seems to be in much better spirits recently.”

“She hasn’t been troubled by insomnia anymore. Lately, she’s been able to sleep through the night.”

These were all things Jiang Zhe could see with her own eyes.

The old Madame Qin obviously looked better, the dark circles under her eyes had disappeared, and she seemed more spirited talking and walking.

Qin Jingchen said with a chuckle, “That’s why when she scolds me, her voice is even louder.”

Jiang Zhe rarely showed a smile, which then quickly faded.

The roads were scarcely populated at noon, making the journey feel especially short, and within a few sentences, they arrived at the school.

…

As Jiang Zhe entered the school, a message popped up on her phone.

It was from Xia Enci.

“Jiang Fanyue just came over and said the Jiang Family wants to arrange some kind of farewell ceremony for you, to wish you well as you return to your birth family. They’re inviting you to come back for the dinner.”

“Reply to her: I’m not going.”

Upon hearing this jumbled mess, Jiang Zhe’s expression turned a shade colder.

She took out some chewing gum and popped two pieces into her mouth.

From the day she walked out with her bag from the Jiang Family home, she’d had little to do with them, except for the tiniest connection to Jiang Yunxuan.

No matter what tricks the Jiang Family pulled, they could only be performing a solo act.

Jiang Zhe walked toward her class with indifferent eyes.

“Sister!” Jiang Fanyue, followed by several classmates, appeared in front of her.

Usually, she simply calls out ‘Jiang Zhe, Jiang Zhe,’ afraid that others would know about the sisterly relationship between them.

Today, as soon as she uttered this address, Jiang Zhe knew she was up to no good.

“Sister,” Jiang Fanyue moved closer, her tone even gentler and more affectionate.

The classmates standing next to Jiang Fanyue, except for Zhang Xi, were surprised.

Having known the two for so long, they had no idea that Jiang Zhe was actually the beloved daughter of the Jiang Family!

Just why had they never mentioned it before?

Jiang Zhe was intercepted, casually chewing her gum, standing in the sunlight.

The weather had turned a bit cool, yet she still wore the usual school uniform, her long legs exposed without even an additional pair of stockings, displaying a certain nonchalance.

With a voice light enough for everyone to hear, Jiang Fanyue said, “Sister, we’ve always been sisters, and even though your birth family has found and wants to take you back, you won’t be living in the Jiang house anymore, our sisterhood will always remain. I also hope you won’t blame me for not asking you to stay. I’m truly happy for you finding your birth family and returning to your own people.”

The other students understood—Jiang Zhe was actually adopted by the Jiang Family!

And now, with her birth family coming for her, she was going to leave the Jiang Family to go back.

No wonder their interactions as sisters were sparse; does that mean Jiang Zhe’s coldness and the not-so-good attitude toward Jiang Fanyue were because she couldn’t stay in the Jiang House anymore?

Jiang Zhe, with a chilly look, lifted her eyes to examine Jiang Fanyue.

She already knew what her aim was but couldn’t be bothered to expose it, just watching her continue the performance.

Felt very uncomfortable under Jiang Zhe’s piercing gaze, seeing through everything.

But she couldn’t care about that now; she only wanted everyone to know that Jiang Zhe grew up in the Jiang Family and that now having left, she could no longer enjoy anything from them.

Whatever hardships or offenses she faced in the future, they would have nothing to do with the Jiang Family.

“I know you’re also reluctant to leave, and of course, dad and mom feel the same. But we respect your decision to return. They’ve even prepared a farewell banquet especially for you, so please make sure to attend,” Jiang Fanyue said with heartfelt sincerity, almost brought to tears.

Recently, the perception of Jiang Fanyue hadn’t been too favorable.

Yet this scenario today really shifted many people’s impressions of her.

Students whispered behind her, “The Jiang Family is really full of integrity, aren’t they? From what has been said, Jiang Zhe was taken in by the Jiang Family, and now that she’s found her relatives and is leaving, they still went to the trouble of preparing a farewell dinner for her.”
