Chapter 292: Chapter 292 Reserving the Right to Pursue at Any Time

Jiang Zhe had no desire to spend time with Jiang Fanyue and turned to leave.

Xia Enci leaned into Jiang Fanyue’s ear and whispered, "You should thank Jiang Yunxuan for not going too hard on you. However, we reserve the right to hold you accountable at any time!"

When Jiang Fanyue heard this, her body shook violently!

So she hadn’t gone to jail because there was a lack of evidence, but simply because she had been temporarily let off the hook.

Reserving the right to hold her accountable at any time...

Jiang Fanyue felt a chill in her heart, as if she had fallen into an ice cellar.

Soon, a handwritten apology letter from her appeared in Jiang Fanyue’s account.

She apologized to the school, Jiang Zhe, and Jiang Yunxuan all at once.

This apology letter did not allow her any room to elaborate; it was drafted by Lou Ye himself, and Jiang Fanyue had to copy it word for word.

She had no choice but to copy it all.

Because only by copying it could she take the initiative to drop out rather than wait to be expelled by the school.

When she received the notice of withdrawal, her mind went blank. Just like that, she said goodbye to the best school in Jincheng.

This was the pride she had worked so hard to gain admission to and had since endeavored to maintain with her grades.

Now, all her pride was shattered.

Wen Xia helped her transfer to the Second High School.

Although the Second High School was also excellent, no matter how good it was, how could it compare to the First High School?

Apart from Zhang Xi, the other students were preoccupied with their studies and no one came to see Jiang Fanyue off.

She used to love treating people to meals, maintaining her relationships with them, but in the end, not a single person came to bid her farewell.

Clutching her fingers, the only thing she had left now was her academic performance.

The college entrance exam was not far away, and only by achieving a score that would make them regret would they realize how much they had lost by losing her!

Jiang Fanyue silently cheered herself on in her heart.

To her dismay, Jiang Zhang and Liang Jinlan had not shown up at all from the beginning to the end.

Liang Jinlan was now too preoccupied to care about her, instead going to the orphanage to find Jiang Yunxuan, hoping to take back her own child.

But the court had already issued a restraining order against her, forbidding her from approaching Jiang Yunxuan.

She did not even manage to see Jiang Yunxuan.

She went to look at the Jiang Family’s clothing store in the shopping center.

The once magnificent shops, some offering professional customization and others selling ready-to-wear clothes, were now all shut down for good.

Some employees were taking down the signboard, replacing it with the branding of another clothing line.

"Why are you removing our signboard?" Liang Jinlan ran over to stop them.

The employee looked at her in bewilderment: "This shop has been entirely renovated, of course we have to remove the old signboard."

It only then dawned on Liang Jinlan, like waking from a dream, that the Jiang Family’s garments were now piling up like mountains in the factory, unwanted and ignored.

Even when offered for free, people found them a bother and would not come to take them.

The era of the Jiang Family’s apparel industry had officially and completely come to an end.

"Boss Cheng, does the way we’ve arranged things here look okay to you?" an employee asked Cheng Lu.

"No problem. Once the other side is set up, everyone can take a break, have some afternoon tea, and then continue," said Cheng Lu, ordering milk tea and cake and inviting everyone to join her.

Her business had been doing very well lately, and she had been so busy that she had only now found time to visit Jincheng, firstly to check on her businesses that had spread throughout Jincheng.

Secondly, she wanted to visit Jiang Zhe and Xun Yining.

"Are you going to move or not? Don’t stand there getting in our way, ok?" The employee who had just seen Liang Jinlan standing there dazedly couldn’t help but speak up to shoo her away.

Cheng Lu looked up and recognized Liang Jinlan.

She was somewhat surprised: "Jinlan..."

Liang Jinlan had always held herself above Cheng Lu, the respected lady of the Jiang Family, and there was nothing left to say between them.

Liang Jinlan, feeling humiliated and angry, turned around and left after seeing her own shop and business taken over by Cheng Lu and even witnessing herself in this condition.

...

Early in the morning, Jiang Zhe was to accompany Xiaoqi and Fang Ting to their middle school entrance interviews.

She had only mentioned needing the car to Qin He.

But when the car arrived, both Qin Jingchen and Fen Ye were in it.

"We’re going to the welfare home," Jiang Zhe said after getting into the car.

Fen Ye asked with a smile, "Why do I feel like those two kids are only around ten years old, and they’re already going to middle school?"

"They’ve skipped two grades," Jiang Zhe explained briefly.

"Oh," Fen Ye showed genuine interest, "that’s not simple at all."

"Which school are they interviewing for?" asked Qin Jingchen.

"The middle school division of No. 1 Middle School," Jiang Zhe replied. She wasn’t familiar with the middle school division, and the divisions of No. 1 Middle School—middle school and high school—were not in the same location and were managed by different staff.

Still, as the best middle school in Jincheng, it was the most sought after.

Qin He said, "I saw Xiaoqi the other day and asked him about it. He said that once the written test is passed, they can proceed to the interview phase. Their grades seem pretty good; the interview shouldn’t be a problem either."

Jiang Zhe had no doubts about this.

After picking up Xiaoqi and Fang Ting from the welfare home, they went straight to the middle school division of No. 1 Middle School.

For this middle school entrance session, all those who had passed the academic criteria could come first, as if the good schools were taking the opportunity to pick out the best seeds first.

Several teachers were sitting in the meeting room, constantly receiving students coming in for the interviews.

At the school gate, Jiang Zhe led the two children in herself.

The reason was that Qin Jingchen and the others were too conspicuous to go in.

Indeed, and so, without insisting, Qin Jingchen waited for them in the car.

The teachers reviewed the students’ materials while interviewing the ones in front of them.

When they came across Xiaoqi and Fang Ting’s names, a male teacher wearing glasses pushed his glasses up and said, "I saw these two kids on the day of the exam."

"Hmm, what was the situation?" a more senior teacher next to him inquired.

"From the orphanage, one with a leg problem, the other with an arm issue."

With his remark, the teachers all fell silent, each lost in their own thoughts.

But unmistakably, they seemed to have reached a tacit agreement: they did not want such children at their school.

Xiaoqi and Fang Ting walked into the school, finding everything novel, but they followed Jiang Zhe attentively, careful not to cause her any trouble.

"The school is so big."

"Yes, it’s much bigger than our elementary school. And it has such a big library," Fang Ting said, both curious and envious.

Xiaoqi nodded, "We can come here for school soon."

Jiang Zhe looked down at them silently without speaking.

Many children were waiting, and Jiang Zhe led them to wait patiently as well.

Xiaoqi and Fang Ting each held a number plate, 470 and 471, respectively.

After number 469 was called in, both of them began to brace themselves for their turn.

However, their numbers were skipped, and soon it was 472’s turn.

Xiaoqi and Fang Ting started to feel uneasy.

"Just wait," Jiang Zhe said.

The two obediently waited.

Yet, the numbers continued to be called in succession, and as students went in and came out, the two of them were as if forgotten.
