Jiang Yining didn’t expect her to be so enthusiastic. “Have you told Xiaoxi?”
“Not yet.” Xiao Yeyu continued with a feigned worried look, “Her mother is in bad condition. She had a drug craving after she arrived at my house last night. I got a doctor to examine her and give her some sleeping pills. She’s still unconscious.”
“Yining, 1 also found out that her mother owes eight hundred thousand yuan in gambling debt. Won’t Xiaoxi freak out if she finds out about this? That’s why I’d like to discuss with you how we should deal with this.”
Jiang Yining frowned when she heard that.
Dou Weizhen was really chained to her bad habits. She had previously owed 500,000 yuan in gambling debt, and had left Xiaoxi alone to face those vicious debt collectors.
After that debt was finally settled, she dug herself into another big hole.
Dou Weizhen must be properly dealt with this time, or Ye Xiaoxi would continue to suffer her mother’s endless problems.
“Yining, why don’t I lend Xiaoxi 800,000 yuan to pay off the debt at the casino? Otherwise, if they tracked Xiaoxi down and did something bad to her…”
Xiao Yeyu bit her lower lip and did not finish her sentence.
They both knew well the kind of despicable things the casino thugs could do.
“No need. I’ll deal with the casino. Hand Dou Weizhen to me and don’t bother about the rest.”
“What? Are you able to settle the matter on your own?”
“Yes,” Jiang Yining said calmly.
“Okay. Follow me home after school and pick her up then. If you really can’t handle it alone, you still have Mr. Lu’s help.” Xiao Yeyu couldn’t bear to fork out the 800,000 yuan. She had just signed a loss-making contract to work with the Lu family, so she didn’t have much cash on hand. 800,000 yuan was her expenditure for the entire year.
Besides, Ye Xiaoxi was nobody to her.
She just wanted to use this incident to gain Jiang Yining’s favor.
There was no need for such heavy investment on her part.
“Okay.” Jiang Yining nodded.
Xiao Yeyu already felt that they were closer. She asked with a smile, “By the way, Yining, I’m having a tea party at home on Saturday. Are you free to come?” “I have something to do that day.”
The so-called tea party was nothing more than a gathering for people to gossip.
Jiang Yining never liked that.
“Then when are you free?” Xiao Yeyu was relentless.
Jiang Yining was silent for a few seconds before she said, “Sunday.”
“Okay.”
Xiao Yeyu nodded happily. “Then we have a date on Sunday. See you then.”
“Sure.”
While they were talking, Jiang Yining’s gaze fell on Ye Xiaoxi.
She was hiding in a corner of the classroom, all alone.
Her head was hung so low that she was almost buried under the table.
Jiang Yining walked towards her.
Ye Xiaoxi was slumped over the table and wiping her tears quietly when someone patted her on the shoulder.
She was so startled that she jerked suddenly and hit her head on the table.
Xiao Yeyu apologized, “Xiaoxi, sorry. Did I startle you? I shouldn’t have pranked you like that.”
Ye Xiaoxi sniffled and said, “I’m fine.”
“Are you still worried about your mother?”
Ye Xiaoxi did not reply.
Xiao Yeyu continued, “Don’t worry, the matter will be dealt with soon. Don’t we have Yining? She’s the young madam of the Lu family. There isn’t a problem in the world she can’t settle.”
When Jiang Yining heard this, a hint of displeasure flashed across her eyes.
She did not want people to know about her relationship with Lu Zhi.
Xiao Yeyu was too high-key.
“I can resolve this problem without relying on my identity as the young madam of the Lu family.” Jiang Yining said calmly.
Xiao Yeyu’s heart was filled with disdain.
She had been in A-City for so many years, but she had never heard of Jiang Yining.
She must be from a small, ordinary family.
If Jiang Yining didn’t rely on Lu Zhi and the Lu family, how could she handle those people at the casino? Where would she get 800,000 yuan?
There should be a limit even when one bragged, right?
However, she didn’t speak her mind. She just let out an awkward laugh and said, “Yes, Yining is right.”
Ye Xiaoxi’s eyes were red as she said, “Yining, don’t get involved in my matters anymore. Let me settle this myself.”
“How are you going to settle it?” Jiang Yining asked.
Ye Xiaoxi bit her lower lip, unable to answer.
Jiang Yining waved her hand. “Alright, let’s not argue about this anymore. Class is about to begin. Wipe your tears. Have you forgotten what I told you yesterday?”
Ye Xiaoxi dried her tears with the back of her hand and prepared for class.
However, she was so preoccupied that she didn’t hear a word during the lesson.
The class ended with her still in a daze.
Ye Xiaoxi snapped out of her daze only when the school bell rang and Jiang Yining nudged her.
“Go home and wait for me. 1’11 bring your mother home soon.” Jiang Yining said.
“You’ve found her?”
Ye Xiaoxi couldn’t believe it.
“Yes. Go home.”
Jiang Yining’s voice was still flat but it had a tremendous calming effect.
Ye Xiaoxi’s nose felt tingly and tears welled up again in her eyes.
But she didn’t cry when she thought about what Jiang Yining told her yesterday.
“Alright. I’ll go home right away.”
After Ye Xiaoxi got onto her bus home, Jiang Yining followed Xiao Yeyu to her house.
The Xiao residence was a two-story bungalow.
The courtyard was filled with all kinds of flowers, making it look romantic.
Xiao Yeyu’s car pulled up.
Mrs. Xiao welcomed her warmly. “My precious daughter is finally home. I’ve missed you so much.”
“Mom, it’s only been a few hours since 1 went to school.” Xiao Yeyu beamed.
“Haven’t you heard of the phrase a day apart feels like three years? 1 just want you and your brother with me every day.” Mrs. Xiao said in a girly tone.
“Come on, Mom. Don’t be so mushy. My classmate is here.”
Xiao Yeyu pointed at Jiang Yining, who had been silent all this while.
“Sorry, I’ve been so thoughtless. You must be Ah Yu’s classmate. What’s your name?”
“Jiang Yining.”
When Mrs. Xiao heard her name, it took her a few seconds to react.
“All. You’re the young madam of the Lu family. 1 heard my husband mention you before. He mentioned that you are a very beautiful and dignified girl.”
Jiang Yining was speechless.
Was she being serious?
It was true that she was sometimes associated with beauty.
But being dignified was a little too far-fetched…
“Please come in.”
Mrs. Xiao invited them in.
Xiao Yeyu nudged her mother’s shoulder and said, “Mom, you don’t have to entertain us. Yining is only here to pick up the auntie I brought home last night. She’s not a guest today. You can always teat her to a nice afternoon tea when she joins us for the tea party on Sunday.”
“I see. Alright then.”
Mrs. Xiao left them alone considerately.
Xiao Yeyu smiled embarrassedly and said, “My mother is a super-friendly chatterbox. Please don’t mind her.”
“It’s fine.”
Jiang Yining gave her a slight nod.
Xiao Yeyu brought Jiang Yining to a guest room on the second floor of the house.
When they opened the door, they saw Dou Weizhen, who was lying in bed, shouting crazily.
“Who are you people? Why did you kidnap me?”
The servants in the room were all trembling in fear.
“Auntie, we’re Xiaoxi’s classmates,” Xiao Yeyu said.
Dou Weizhen turned her head and saw her. She cursed, “Are you really Xiaoxi’s classmate? Liar! Last night, you said that you would lend me money, but you brought me here and tied me up! I’m warning you, let me go now, or I’ll call the police to arrest all of you!”
She kept slamming her legs against the bed as she spoke, making clanging sounds.
Xiao Yeyu stepped back in fear.
Jiang Yining had one hand in her pocket as she calmly walked into the room. Her eyes swept over a fruit knife on the table, and she calmly picked it up. She then walked up to Dou Weizhen and casually tested the sharpness of the blade with her fingertips.
“You… You… What are you trying to do?”
Dou Weizhen looked terrified.
“Nothing much. 1 just want to teach you a lesson on your daughter’s behalf.”
As soon as Jiang Yining finished speaking, she stabbed the fruit knife at Dou Weizhen..
