"This definitely won’t do. I don’t mind not going out today, but I absolutely have to go out tomorrow."
Previously, Jiang Xue had already agreed on a time with Manager Yang. Tomorrow is precisely the time they said, so she has to go out and see if he found a venue for her.
If a venue is found, she also needs to find people to decorate and arrange it, and then recruit students and such. So, she won’t have much idle time at home; after all, she can’t just sit and wait.
The Little Fox heard Jiang Xue’s words and knew she couldn’t possibly stay home all the time. Besides, this kind of thing cannot be avoided just by hiding. Thus, it thought for a moment and said, "How about this, you take me with you wherever you go. If you encounter danger, I can warn you and help you."
"Great! Thank you, Little Fox." Jiang Xue thanked the Little Fox and then sat down again to study seriously. Since she had already signed up for the self-study exam, she had to take it well.
Soon it was noon, and Mrs. Jiang cooked a meal and went to the next door to call Jiang Xue for lunch.
Meanwhile, Cheng Li had been waiting at the stairway for two hours, noticing the time was late and her stomach was hungry, she was about to go for a meal. Then she heard the sound of a door opening and stood up to look in the direction of Mrs. Jiang’s house behind her. Updates are released by Novᴇl_Fire(.)net
With this look, she saw Jiang Xue following behind Mrs. Jiang and shouted, "Jiang Xue!"
Hearing Cheng Li’s shout, Jiang Xue and Mrs. Jiang’s expressions changed, and then they turned to look behind them. When they saw Cheng Li standing at the stairway, their faces grew even uglier.
After Cheng Li shouted Jiang Xue’s name, she rushed to Jiang Xue in a few steps, saying, "I finally caught you."
"What’s the matter?" Jiang Xue gave Cheng Li a cold look, her gaze seeming to pierce through her.
Cheng Li was stunned by Jiang Xue’s look, taking quite a while to come back to her senses. She secretly thought, since when did Jiang Xue have such a sharp eye?
Seeing Cheng Li dazed and not speaking, Jiang Xue withdrew her gaze and prepared to go inside for the meal.
Seeing Jiang Xue was about to close the door, Cheng Li finally came back to her senses, and then stuck her foot into the door, saying, "Jiang Xue, wait a moment, I have something to say to you."
"Xue’er, don’t mind her, she doesn’t have good intentions." Mrs. Jiang glanced at Cheng Li and said, thinking, this woman is really persistent, coming again.
At this moment, Mrs. Jiang had no idea that Cheng Li hadn’t gone back at all.
"I know." Jiang Xue nodded and then said to Cheng Li, "You should leave. I have nothing to say to you."
She didn’t want any involvement with Cheng Li at all, especially when Cheng Li clearly didn’t have good intentions. It would be odd if she bothered with her. However, even though Jiang Xue didn’t want to deal with Cheng Li, Cheng Li wasn’t about to let her go.
Thus, Cheng Li reached into her pocket and took out something, saying, "Jiang Xue, you should recognize this thing, right."
Seeing what Cheng Li held in her hand, not only Jiang Xue was stunned, but Mrs. Jiang was also stunned, looking at the thing for a good while without coming back to her senses.
How could this be? How could that thing be in Cheng Li’s hands?
That was clearly Jiang Xue’s item. Could it be that Jiang Xue actually gave such an important thing to Cheng Li?
While Mrs. Jiang was contemplating, she looked at Jiang Xue, her gaze holding a hint of reproach.
Jiang Xue was shocked looking at the bracelet in Cheng Li’s hand, though she didn’t notice Mrs. Jiang’s expression. She hadn’t expected Cheng Li to have an identical bracelet to the one she wore.
Where did her bracelet come from? Is it like hers, with a hidden space inside?
