Chapter 99: Are You Throwing Yourself At Me?
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Old Madam Lu was speechless from her husband’s lecture.
“I don’t care! I won’t allow you to anyhow marry Kexin off! You’re also not allowed to kick her out of the Lu residence, or I’ll leave with her.”
“You stubborn old fool!”
Old Master Lu was so angry that his chest hurt.
Old Madam Lu turned her face away from her husband and ignored him.
Old Master Lu was too lazy to convince her.
The two of them were in a stalemate.
After class when Jiang Yining was packing up, Ye Xiaoxi scooted up to her and asked, “Yining, there’s an eSports competition between our class and the class next door. Do you want to go and watch?”
“No.”
“Why not? Don’t you like this?” Ye Xiaoxi asked.
Jiang Yining looked at her strangely. “How did you know that I like eSports?”
“I saw a game app on your phone. You won’t install it if you don’t like it, right?”
She had hidden the app and only opened it occasionally. How did she find out?
Ye Xiaoxi had extraordinary eyesight; she would make a great surveillance officer.
“I installed it for my nephew,” Jiang Yining replied calmly.
“Oh.” Ye Xiaoxi believed Jiang Yining and nodded agreeably.
Xiao Yeyu heard their conversation and said with a smile, “My cousin is a professional eSports player. Yining, if your nephew is interested in this, I can ask my cousin to teach him some time.”
“No need. Games are something one plays occasionally. Playing too much can make one a slacker.”
Jiang Yining rejected Xiao Yeyu’s offer.
Xiao Yeyu was not discouraged and persisted, “One just needs to play with discipline so as not to affect one’s studies, right?”
Jiang Yining was speechless.
Must she tell Xiao Yeyu that the “nephew” she mentioned was actually her?
And she didn’t need any lessons?
Jiang Yining deeply regretted her lie just now.
“There’s really no need.”
“The pleasure’s all mine. Aren’t we friends?” Xiao Yeyu refused to accept her rejection.
Ye Xiaoxi interjected, “Stop arguing, both of you. Let’s hurry up and go.”
“Yeah, let’s go.” Xiao Yeyu urged.
Jiang Yining had no choice but to leave with the two of them.
Just as they walked out of the school gate, the sports car sent by the Xiao family for Xiao Yeyu pulled up smoothly in front of them.
The driver got out of the car and said respectfully, “Miss, please.”
Ye Xiaoxi exclaimed enviously, “Wow, Yeyu! I didn’t expect your family to be so rich!”
A Maserati easily cost five to six million yuan!
She would never have that kind of money in her life.
“Don’t make fun of me. The cars my family owns are trash compared to those Yining’s family owns.” Xiao Yeyu then looked around and asked, “Yining, where’s your car? Isn’t someone picking you up today?”
“I’m not used to private car rides.” Jiang Yining pulled Ye Xiaoxi aside and said,
“You go ahead. Xiaoxi and I will take the bus.”
Xiao Yeyu looked at her in disbelief.
The dignified young madam of the Lu family actually took the bus to and from school?
Who would believe this if word got out?
But perhaps it was Jiang Yining’s simplicity that attracted Lu Zhi…
“In that case, I’ll take the bus with you since we are going the same way. I feel that we hit it off and I’d like to chat more with you.”
“Yeyu, are you sure you want to give up your luxury car ride and squeeze with us on the bus?”
“Yes, of course. I’m usually a thrifty girl but my parents are worried about my safety, so they insist on having the driver take me everywhere.” Xiao Yeyu then said to the driver, “Why don’t you go home first? Please let my parents know that I’ll find my own way home.”
“Yes.” The driver said with a slight bow and drove away.
Jiang Yining didn’t mind.
Anyway, it was just one more companion.
They stood at the bus stop and waited for a long time.
Finally, their bus arrived.
After the three of them boarded, Jiang Yining and Ye Xiaoxi tossed coins skillfully into the fare box while Xiao Yeyu stood awkwardly on the spot and rummaged through her wallet.
“I’m sorry, I don’t usually have cash on me.”
She usually just had her bank card with her when she went out.
And she used her card to buy everything.
Who would have thought that she would need to toss coins into a fare box when riding the bus?
“I’ll help you pay,” Ye Xiaoxi said enthusiastically.
“Thank you.”
After settling Xiao Yeyu’s bus fare, Ye Xiaoxi grabbed three seats with Jiang Yining and beckoned Xiao Yeyu to sit with them.
Xiao Yeyu walked up to the two of them and looked at the middle-aged, sloppily dressed woman in the seat next to her empty one and frowned.
She was wearing new clothes that she just bought…
Would she have to throw them away if they got dirty?
She was a little regretful that she had followed them to take the bus.
“Yeyu, why aren’t you taking the seat?”
Ye Xiaoxi asked curiously as she looked at the girl who was still standing.
“I don’t want to sit anymore. I’ve been sitting all day. You two sit.” Xiao Yeyu waved her hand.
“It’s inconvenient for you to stand in high heels. The bus will get crowded when more people come onboard. You should take the seat, Yeyu.” Ye Xiaoxi said out of concern for her.
“There’s really no need…”
Xiao Yeyu looked torn.
Jiang Yining could tell that she didn’t want to take the seat, so she said to Ye Xiaoxi, “Don’t force her. If she wants to stand, let her stand.”
“Oh, okay.”
Ye Xiaoxi had no choice but to give up.
The bus drove for three stops and when it stopped again, many office workers squeezed onboard.
Xiao Yeyu was squeezed to a place without handrails.
Smelling the dirty air around her and feeling strangers touch her…
She felt extremely uncomfortable.
She also regretted not listening to Ye Xiaoxi about taking a seat.
But she had already rejected the idea, so she couldn’t go back on her word.
She could only brace herself and continue standing.
The bus started moving again…
After driving for a while, the driver braked suddenly at a traffic light.
Xiao Yeyu, who was barely standing, was instantly thrown forward.
In the next second, she was in the arms of a stranger.
“Beauty, I’m very embarrassed that you’re throwing yourself at me.”
Xiao Yeyu raised her head and saw an ugly face. She raised her hand and slapped the man before she stood up quickly.
The stranger who was slapped looked confused. “What’s wrong with you? You were the one who fell on me, I didn’t take advantage of you! What right do you have to slap me?”
“Who asked you to be so despicable?” Xiao Yeyu said angrily.
“Can you be more unreasonable? I was just teasing you. How am I despicable? If you don’t clear my name, I’ll see you at the police station.”
“Alright, let’s go! I’ll get a lawyer and sue you for molestation!”
“My, my, you mention lawyer so casually. Do you think you are socialite just because you’re wearing fake LV clothes? Which rich girl would take a cheap bus?”
The man teased at the top of his voice. Everyone on the bus heard him and burst into laughter.
Xiao Yeyu’s face turned red, but she couldn’t refute him.
Seeing that the situation was getting out of hand, Ye Xiaoxi tugged at Jiang Yining’s sleeve and said, “Yining, what should we do? Let’s go and break up the fight.”
Jiang Yining couldn’t be bothered.
But…
Since Ye Xiaoxi had asked, she might as well try.
“Let’s go. Get down at the next stop and follow me to the police station!”
Backed by reason, the man arrogantly grabbed Xiao Yeyu’s wrist and pulled her towards the bus door.
Xiao Yeyu wanted to break free.
But she was a pampered young miss from a rich family. How could she be strong enough?
She couldn’t keep still and was pulled forward by him.
At this moment, Jiang Yining grabbed the man’s shoulder and separated Xiao Yeyu from him.
“Brother, this is my friend. She’s in a bad mood because she just broke up with her boyfriend today. That’s why her words were a little rude. Please be magnanimous and don’t hold it against her..”
