Chapter 470: Cannon Fodder Stepsister Doesn’t Want to Die (27)

He was tempted.

But Jiang Lai was like a rock in a latrine, stubborn and unyielding, totally unmoved.

Jiang Lai wasn’t like this before, she’d shamelessly chase after Shen Weizhou just for his handsome face.

Why has she been so calm and withdrawn lately?

Just then, Little Buding noticed another person standing in the dark hallway.

"Jiang Lai, there’s someone next to you, it’s Jiang Ci."

Because the neighborhood is quite old, the lights deep in the hallway are dim, and Jiang Ci, dressed entirely in black, could easily be overlooked.

Upon Little Buding’s reminder, Jiang Lai turned around to take a look.

Just as Jiang Ci walked over, eyes deep and dark under the baseball cap.

"You’ve just started to do better in studies, and now you’re dating?"

He sneered.

Jiang Lai remained expressionless.

"Does it concern you? Why are you back? Dad’s not home."

Jiang Ci raised his hand and tossed something over directly.

"Give this to him, tell him not to send me stuff."

It was a key, seemingly because Jiang Zhen Sheng’s business was doing better recently, he bought Jiang Ci an apartment.

But Jiang Ci didn’t appreciate it.

"If you don’t want it, give it back to him yourself, throwing away trash? An apartment key just thrown around like that."

"If you like it so much, you can have it. Either give it to him, throw it away, or keep it yourself, as you please."

After saying that, Jiang Ci turned and left.

Looking at the key in her hand, Jiang Lai took a turn, then when Jiang Ci reached the bottom of the building, she threw it directly down to land accurately at his feet.

Then, she shut the window.

What nonsense, what kind of father-son bonding are these two trying to display in front of her, get lost!

Downstairs, Jiang Ci picked up the key, face tense and clenched in his palm.

Is Jiang Lai really stupid or just ungrateful?

Or has she found someone richer who disdains these things?

"Ungrateful..."

——

As usual, Jiang Lai took a shower and then sat down to study, murmuring as she spread out the exam papers.

"No one can affect my studies."

The original Jiang Lai wasn’t smart, how many people in the honors class made it there solely through hard work?

Those who rely on sheer diligence are all in class two or three, anyone who is in class one has, more or less, had the advantage of growing up with a better environment, being more agile in thought, and having a stronger aptitude for learning.

To make up for this gap, Jiang Lai could only study even harder.

"Alright, you continue your studies, I won’t disturb you anymore."

Really boring. 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

Little Buding secretly decided that in the next world, such a task definitely couldn’t be assigned to Jiang Lai.

After October, the temperature began to drop.

Jiang Lai had been in the honors class for over a month, with monthly exams and mock exams earning her the admiration of her classmates.

Group leader Guo Li needed the whole class period to calm down after witnessing Jiang Lai’s sciences skills, realizing that a science genius had joined their group eight. Apart from Chinese, all other subjects were top of the class, threatening the status of the class’s top trio at times.

But Jiang Lai usually had a low presence, not actively speaking in class, rarely volunteering, not participating in any class activities; were it not for her beauty and outstanding grades, she would be the kind of student forgotten quickly after graduation.

A month before the final exams, Jiang Lai took the initiative to gather the other four members of the group to the library.

"After the finals, the classes will be reorganized. With your current levels, any of you could be replaced."

"What can we do about it? We’re at this level, like me, dragging behind in math, everyone has weak spots, one bad performance and we say bye-bye to each other."

Everyone was a bit dispirited, sighing with anxiety and unrest amidst their efforts.

"If you want to stay, then I can help you stay, as long as you follow me."

The four individuals perked up, having seen Jiang Lai’s capability over the past month. So even if her words seem somewhat arrogant, they subconsciously felt a glimmer of hope and looked towards her.

"From Monday to Friday after class, drop the tutorials, and meet here."

Several were skeptical.

But after class, they still gathered here collectively.

Jiang Lai handed them a set of papers, they took them and looked; except for the questions, there was nothing else, not resembling any region’s mock papers.

"I made these questions myself."

"Wow, you came up with all these questions yourself? Jiang Lai, don’t exaggerate."

Jiang Lai didn’t waste time.

"I’m aware of each of your weaknesses, I’ll give each of you additional papers to practice later."

Methodical, deliberate, spoken like a professional tutor, there’d be no doubt.

Three days before the final exams, the whole grade stopped classes for self-study, and the quiet classroom was filled with the sound of scribbling.

Just then a furious shout sounded in the classroom.

"Could you two make less noise?! Your flipping books are loud! Can’t you see you’re affecting others’ studies?!"

Hu Yi slammed his desk, startling Guo Li who dropped his pen.

He was stunned by the yelling, and upon regaining his senses, his face flushed red as he stammered at Hu Yi.

"I, my book flipping noise bothers you? You’re not focusing on your studies and you blame me?!"

"You’re bothering me! Your own attitude doesn’t fear boiling water, don’t drag others down, okay? You can’t stay in this class any longer, so you think about dragging me down? Are you selfish or what?"

"You... you, you..."

Guo Li was so anxious his eyes reddened, while Hu Yi rolled his eyes and was about to turn around, but in the next moment, an English book slammed directly onto his head, not painfully, but Hu Yi yelped and turned around, screaming.

"Who is it?! Are you crazy?!"

Jiang Lai still spun a Chinese book in her hand, reclining against the chair, responded calmly.

"You’re disturbing my studies."

"Jiang Lai, are you insane?!"

Hu Yi picked up the book to throw it back, yet the next moment the class teacher appeared at the door.

"Hu Yi! What are you doing?!"

Hu Yi hurriedly sat properly at first, feeling aggrieved as he loudly complained.

"Teacher, Jiang Lai just hit me with a book!"

But Jiang Lai stood up directly at this time, drawing out a paper from the drawer and going up to the teacher.

"Teacher, I’m stuck on this question."

With Jiang Lai interrupting, the teacher’s attention was fully focused on the question in front of him.

Hu Yi sat there still wanting to yell, but classmates around him turned with disdain and said.

"Could you just stop yelling?"

"You can’t control your attitude, so don’t blame others."

Hu Yi clenching his fists dared not speak again, he was one to bully the soft, fearing the tough, and with so many dissatisfied, he also feared being ganged up on.

In the end, he could only slam the book and turn his head to mock.

"Fatty, wait to be kicked out after finals end!"
