Chapter 343: Chapter 343: He is a Troublesome Ghost
Ji Ze’s eyes widened, “Boss…”
Yan Yidan gave him a helpless glance and gestured for him to look at Jiang Nanshu.
Jiang Nan’s face was a cold hue.
Ji Ze knew immediately that she was angry.
“Sister…”
“Ji Ze, can’t you recognize your current status? Even if you want to make money, it shouldn’t be now,” Jiang Nanshu asked him.
Ji Ze, knowing he was in the wrong, hung his head in silence.
Jiang Nanshu wanted to say something else.
But feeling the subtle sweeping glances of the bodyguards around, she directly took off her own shoes and started hitting Ji Ze’s buttocks with them.
“I told you to stop your poor behavior, I told you not to come here and mess around, I told you not to drink. I will beat you to death today.”
Ji Ze’s buttocks were stinging from the hits, so he quickly reached back to cover them, “Sister, sister, stop hitting me, I was wrong, I really was wrong.”
While being hit, he was dodging the attacks from Jiang Nanshu’s shoes.
Yan Yidan glared at Jiang Yunchuan, “Let’s go!”
The two of them followed, trying to break up the fight, until they were outside the venue.
Jiang Nanshu then put her shoes back on.
“Let’s leave, if we stay any longer, the organizers will start getting suspicious.”
No one objected.
Only Ji Ze was sobbing from the whipping.
It really hurt too much.
He didn’t even dare to touch his beaten buttocks now.
Jiang Nanshu’s strike was really severe.
Yet he couldn’t bring himself to resent Jiang Nanshu, his sister who was doing this for his own good.
She had even come here specifically to find him.
All the way, Ji Ze was silent, now aware of his mistake.
He was still a student, and Jiang Nanshu had always hoped he would study hard.
Ji Ze felt ashamed; it seemed he had taken the wrong path, and Jiang Nanshu had timely pulled him back.
Jiang Nanshu took Ji Ze back to school.
As he walked toward the school entrance, he took a few steps, turned around, and gave a deep bow to Jiang Nanshu, his voice choked, “Sister, I’m sorry, I was too eager for quick success and wanted to make big money, to get you out, forgetting my age and that I’m still in school. I was too arrogant, always thinking that being smart meant I could achieve great things. I also caused the boss to lose a lot of money. I will listen to you, sister, and I will repay the boss’s money. I’m sorry.”
“Ji Ze, you don’t have to take care of me; you just need to follow your own path and take good care of our parents. That’s enough,” Jiang Nanshu said to him.
The young man’s eyes reddened.
“You go back now. If there’s a next time, I won’t care about your fate anymore. Those places are not for you to go to.”
Ji Ze left.
After entering the school, he spat out the waterproof listening device hidden under his tongue and crushed it forcefully.
…
Outside the school.
By this time, the sky had gone completely dark.
Jiang Nanshu smelled the scent of barbecue in the air.
She decisively found a suitable place for them to talk.
The three sat at a small wooden table next to a barbecue stand.
Jiang Yunchuan, here for the first time, looked at the greasy tables and chairs, feeling utterly out of place.
But Jiang Nanshu and Yan Yidan didn’t seem to mind.
He looked at them incredulously, “Don’t you think this place is too dirty?”
Jiang Nanshu was tending to the barbecue, drooling, and gave him a side glance with her almond-shaped eyes, “I don’t think so. I’m from the countryside and have eaten in places dirtier than this.” Jiang Nanshu smiled at him, “Fifth Brother, you probably don’t know what it’s like to eat next to a pigsty, do you?”
Jiang Yunchuan felt like vomiting already.
His appetite vanished in an instant.
Yan Yidan smiled lightly, “That’s nothing. Yun Chuan, do you know what it feels like to pick through trash for food?”
Jiang Yunchuan: “…”
“Stop joking around, you two.”
Jiang Nanshu laughed but didn’t respond.
Yan Yidan glanced at her with a smile, “It’s all life, who’s joking with you?”
Jiang Nanshu looked at Yan Yidan in surprise, it seemed Sister Ma Jia’s childhood was also very unfortunate.
She always said, behind every successful woman, there is a tragic past that’s not quite enough to push her to a high position.
Using Yan Yidan’s standard female protagonist abilities as a contrast for Su Ran was really a waste.
But… because of her messing with the crummy book, the plot where Yan Yidan was the contrast to Su Ran had been changed.
There was no rivalry between Yan Yidan and Su Ran at all.
Jiang Yunchuan: “…”
Could everything these two said be true?
Yan Yidan was the young mistress of the Yan Family.
How could she have been reduced to picking through trash to eat?
But he dared not ask.
Yan Yidan told the barbecue stall owner not too far away, “Boss, bring me a case of beer.”
“Alright.” The barbecue stall owner, with an apron tied around his waist, wiped his hands with a towel and quickly went to get the beers.
“Just wait a bit longer; your barbecue will be ready soon.” The barbecue stall owner said these words, afraid they were getting impatient.
“Don’t worry, take your time grilling,” Jiang Nanshu said to the owner with a gentle smile.
The barbecue stall owner beamed with joy, “Absolutely, our barbecue is the best on this street. I guarantee you’ll want to come back again.”
The two paid no further attention to the owner.
Yan Yidan looked at Jiang Nanshu and handed her a bottle of beer, “Want a drink?”
Jiang Nanshu nodded, “Yes.”
She wasn’t in a good mood.
The two drank one cup after another without any end in sight.
Jiang Yunchuan was afraid that if he drank along, what would he do if the two girls got drunk.
So he could only try to persuade them.
The more he urged, the more enthusiastic they became, and he could only puzzledly eat the barbecue that he somewhat despised.
Then… he actually began to enjoy it.
He stopped urging them to drink and just buried his head in eating the barbecue.
Yan Yidan, with a beer bottle in hand and a hint of drunkenness in her eyes, chuckled at Jiang Nanshu, “Nannan, actually, I sent your brother in to record their criminal conversations and then hand them over to the police. The Ke Family will definitely be investigated, and then I, hic, will wipe them all out in one swoop, take over the Yan Family, crush their companies, and make sure they never have the capital to be arrogant again.”
“I’m sorry for disrupting your plan. I couldn’t just watch Ji Ze get pulled into this,” Jiang Nanshu also held a beer bottle, with flushed cheeks and misty almond eyes.
Yan Yidan smiled, “It’s okay, I’ll figure out another way. They’re really too bad, involved not only in shady businesses but also in coercing women and trafficking children. They’re just a bunch of scum. Even if they emigrate, they won’t escape the law of Hua Country!”
Jiang Nanshu inexplicably thought of what Zhou Yanxu had told her on that rainy night, not to dirty her hands, and that the bad would be eventually dealt with.
She smiled and burped, comforting her, “Sister Yan, rest assured, the bad will get their comeuppance.”
“Great, thank you…” Yan Yidan said and took another gulp.
Then she suddenly started crying, “Why is my life so miserable? My parents were killed by the Ke Family, and at five years old, I was kidnapped by them into the mountains. I finally escaped, surviving by picking through trash along the way, and hiding until I managed to return to the Yan Family. My grandfather, seeing my plight and fearing I would fall into the Ke Family’s hands again, sent me to the mountains to learn the skills necessary to save my life. I learned those skills, but my enemies are still alive, and your fiancé, why won’t he cooperate with me? He’s so annoying!”
Listening to Yan Yidan’s complaints.
Jiang Nanshu burst into laughter, “Yeah, really annoying, he’s such a pain.”
