Chapter 125: You Want to Give Lu Zhi a Present?

Jiang Yining laughed as she watched the other culprit being beaten black and blue.
“Are you happy now?” Lu Zhi asked calmly.
“Yes.”
Jiang Yining looked at the handsome man in front of her and said, “You’ve really offended the Tao family this time.”
“Tao Siyuan doesn’t represent the Tao family. He’s just one of the many descendants of the Tao family. Elder Tao will not fall out with the Lu family because of him. Even if they decide to be sworn enemies with the Lu family, I’m not afraid of them. Worst case, I’ll just topple another big family!”
Elder Tao had many children, but only one was born to his wife, and that was Tao Niannian’s father.
Elder Tao didn’t care about an illegitimate child like Tao Siyuan at all. He didn’t even acknowledge him publicly.
Hence, Lu Zhi was not afraid of Tao Siyuan at all.
Jiang Yining stirred the food in her bowl and said, “The Tao family is a century-old prestigious family with deep roots. Many people fear them like tigers. You talk about them like you are eating a bowl of rice.”
“Because I can,” Lu Zhi said confidently.
Jiang Yining also believed that he could.
She smiled and brought up a different subject, “I wonder if Pan Qi will go to school today to apologize.”
“If he has any brains, he will.”
“I’m looking forward to his performance.”
Jiang Yining hated it when people bullied her friends, especially when Pan Qi slandered them.
He deserved whatever punishment he got.
He wasn’t worthy of pity!
Lu Zhi lowered his dark eyes and fixed his gaze on Jiang Yining.
He liked the bright smile on her face, so bright that it could light up the whole world.
Therefore…
He was happy to remove any trash in her way to see her smile like this.
After Jiang Yining had breakfast, she took the bus to school.
Just as she arrived at the school gate, Xiao Lang, who was wearing white suit, walked up to her and stopped her anxiously with his hand. “Are you okay?” “What can happen to me?” Jiang Yining was confused.
“I heard that someone in your school has a vendetta against you. Tell me who is the blind bastard who dares to touch you? I’ll deal with him!” Xiao Lang said with indignation. The concern and anger on his face did not look fake at all.
It was a pity that he only joined in the fun today when everything happened yesterday.
The show was long over.
“The problem has been resolved. Everything’s fine now.”
Jiang Yining’s resistance toward him faded a little.
Xiao Lang heaved a sigh of relief and caught up to her. “How did you solve it? Did Lu Zhi come forward to help you solve the problem? Is there anything you need me to do? By the way, tell me who is this person who has a vendetta against you.”
Jiang Yining frowned slightly.
If people knew that the noble and cold genius pianist was a chatterbox in private, their jaws would probably drop off.
“Why aren’t you saying anything?” Xiao Lang said so much but Jiang Yining didn’t answer. He felt a little sad.
“I have nothing to say,” Jiang Yining replied coolly.
Xiao Lang sensed her distance, but he still followed her eagerly.
After a few steps, Jiang Yining stopped and asked, “By the way, can 1 ask you what gifts do you men like? Something slightly expensive.”
“Piano score!” Xiao Lang answered without hesitation.
“I’m talking about most men, not you.” Jiang Yining said with her last shred of patience.
“Different men like different things. It depends on the receiver’s specific needs.” Something struck Xiao Lang as he said that. “You want to give Lu Zhi a present?”
“Hm…” Jiang Yining blushed as her thoughts were exposed.
“Wow, you are really giving him a present.” Xiao Long felt a hint of displeasure in his heart, but he pretended to be calm and said, “He doesn’t lack anything.”
Nonsense.
Would she be racking her brains so hard if it was someone else?
She was stumped precisely because Lu Zhi had all the best things in the world.
Jiang Yining continued to walk forward.
Xiao Lang wanted to follow her but she turned and shouted, “I’m going to class. You’re too eye-catching. Don’t follow me, or I’ll unfriend you.”
She sped up after she said that.
Xiao Lang stood rooted to the ground and rubbed his chin.
Being too outstanding was a no-no.
He must think of a way to make himself less conspicuous.
Jiang Yining walked into the classroom and everyone instantly quieted down.
Her classmates had all seen the news about Pan family’s bankruptcy.
Yesterday, Pan Qi was still boasting about destroying Jiang Yining and Ye Xiaoxi.
And his entire family had been brought down overnight.
Everyone knew who did it.
Everyone was cautious, afraid that they would offend Jiang Yining and end up like Pan Qi…
Jiang Yining sat expressionlessly in her seat.
A few well-dressed female students immediately surrounded her.
“Yining, you look really good today. Where did you buy this dress? It’s a limited edition, right?”
“Of course, it’s limited edition. Who is our Yining? Only the most luxurious clothes are worthy of her!”
“Yining, I’ve bought movie tickets. Would you like to go with me?”
The endless chattering rang in her ears. Jiang Yining was annoyed.
She looked up at them and said coldly, “I bought this dress from a roadside stall for 100 plus yuan.”
Her female classmates were stunned.
But soon, one of them reacted and said fawningly, “Yining, you’re so down to earth. You are clearly a person of noble status, yet you are willing to wear clothes of the poor.”
“Down to earth?” Jiang Yining repeated the words with a mocking expression and continued, “Then you’ve misjudged me. I’m a vengeful person. If anyone did me wrong, I’ll definitely return the favor a thousand times over.”
Her gaze then swept across the girls who surrounded her.
She lowered her voice and said, “So, those around me should always be extra careful. Otherwise, one little slip and you’ll end up like Pan Qi. That won’t be worth it.”
The girls were so scared that their faces turned pale, and they instantly retreated.
“Don’t crowd around me and block my view. Please move aside.” Jiang Yining continued with a straight face.
The girls looked at each other and quickly scattered.
Ye Xiaoxi saw the opportunity, ran up and sat down next to Jiang Yining. “Yining, you’re clearly not a petty person. Why did you scare them like that? Isn’t it good to make a few more friends?”
She felt that Yining was too much of a loner.
She always came and went alone.
She pestered Yining back then because she was afraid that she would be isolated.
“I don’t care for superficial friends.” Jiang Yining smiled and said, “You’re enough for me.”
“What about me?”
Xiao Yeyu stuck her head out between the two girls.
Ye Xiaoxi jumped in fright. Jiang Yining didn’t flinch and continued to read.
Xiao Yeyu walked in front of them and sat on Jiang Yining’s right. “Yining, Mr. Lu really dotes on you to just take down the Pan family without blinking an eye. The relationship between the two of you is truly enviable.”
“Is that so?” Jiang Yining asked calmly.
“Of course, there’s no doubt about it.” Xiao Yeyu said longingly, “If there was a man who would do all that for me, I would be willing to die.”
“Then your life is really worthless,” Jiang Yining mumbled.
“What did you say?” Xiao Yeyu asked.
“Nothing. It’s better to pay attention in class.”
As soon as Jiang Yining finished, the school’s PA system chimed.
Then, Pan Qi’s voice was heard.
“Dear students, my apologies for taking up your precious time. I’m here today for a self-reflection report. I would like to apologize to Jiang Yining and Ye Xiaoxi. 1 failed to tell right from wrong, listened to rumors and slandered them. I even took the lead to exclude them, bully them….”
