Chapter 499: You Have Something to Ask of Me

Her feelings were obvious. After her adoptive mother became pregnant, she did not treat her as well as before.
In the past, her adoptive mother would cook for her and eat with her.
But now, her adoptive mother’s mind was filled with the unborn child.
When the child was born, perhaps she would be even more neglected than she was now.
Thinking of this, Jiang Lingxue’s expression turned ugly.
That day at the supermarket, Ji Yuanyuan’s words had already made her adoptive mother suspicious. Fortunately, after she came back, she thought of a way to convince her adoptive mother that Ji Yuanyuan was spouting nonsense. She absolutely could not let Pan Zhaodi see her adoptive mother.
Otherwise, once her adoptive mother found out that her biological mother was such a person, her impression of her would also worsen.
Her life had finally taken a turn for the better. She could not let anything go wrong again.
After eating in silence, Jiang Lingxue returned to her room and took out a box from the drawer.
She opened the box and saw a lot of 100-yuan bills inside.
This was all the money she had saved up over the years.
Now, it seemed that there was no other way but to stabilize Pan Zhaodi first.
She did not know how Pan Zhaodi found this place.
Perhaps she should think of a way to persuade her adoptive parents to move out of this neighborhood and change their place of residence.
She took out five notes from the box and quietly stuffed them into her bag.
Naturally, Ji Yuanyuan did not know that Jiang Lingxue had been pestered by Pan Zhaodi.
On the first weekend after the Labor Day holiday, Li Xu and Zhang Kun brought her to buy a laptop.
The computer at home was moved to the office.
The computer was mainly for Hu Chunli. She had studied accounting at university and worked as an accountant after graduation.
In the past, the company was small, so she could only work as a shop assistant. Later, she became the manager.
Now that the company was established, it was natural for her to return to her old profession.
The new computer at home was placed in Ji Yuanyuan’s room. Anyone who wanted to use it could use it in her room.
With the laptop, Ji Yuanyuan had more time.
In the past, she could only take advantage of lunch and dinner time to write, and the number of updates often could not keep up.
It was good now. Before going to bed, she would bring the computer to the space to write for a while. After writing, it would not delay her sleep.
The days passed like this, and soon, it was June.
A few days before the college entrance examination, B University’s acceptance letter was sent over.
Qin Mucheng was also about to go to the examination hall.
Although she did not need to worry about his ability, Ji Yuanyuan still gave him a call on the eve of the exam to encourage him.
Qin Mucheng’s mentality was quite good and he was not nervous at all.
After all, he was a top student, so he was confident.
During the examination, Ji Yuanyuan did not dare to disturb Qin Mucheng anymore, afraid that it would affect his mental state.
On the afternoon of the exam, Qin Mucheng called her.
“I finished the exam and performed quite well. Also, Grandpa and 1 will be staying in S City for a while. We will leave early tomorrow morning.” “Tomorrow morning?” Ji Yuanyuan was stunned. “But we have classes tomorrow.”
In order to make room for the examinees, the Year One and Year Two students had all taken a break.
Now that the examinees were done, it was time for them to return to school. “It’s okay. I’ll go to the city to look for you tomorrow.” Qin Mucheng said softly. Ji Yuanyuan sighed, “1 don’t have the time even if you look for me. 1 still have self-study at night.”
“It’s okay. Just meet him once.” Qin Mucheng said.
Ji Yuanyuan thought about it and comforted him, “It’s okay. My brother has always been at home. Let him accompany you. You must have a lot of common topics.”
After a pause, Ji Yuanyuan asked, “You should know where my home is, right?” “I know, Zi’ang told me!” Qin Mucheng said softly.
Ji Yuanyuan said, “That’s good. Come over to my house tomorrow and stay with my brother for a while. I’ll talk to him when I get home tonight.”
The matter was settled just like that. Thinking of Qin Mucheng coming over, Ji Yuanyuan had rare insomnia at night.
This was the first time they had met after the agreement.
That promise was the first time they had so naturally and openly talked about their childhood engagement and their future as a very formal matter.
For some reason, she felt a little uncomfortable.
She didn’t sleep well the night before, so she was a little listless when she woke up the next morning.
Looking at Ji Yuanyuan’s expression, Ji Zi’ang teased, “Isn’t Brother Mucheng coming over today? You don’t have to be so excited, right? Look at the dark circles under your eyes. You look like a giant panda.”
Ji Yuanyuan raised her head and rolled her eyes at him, “What nonsense are you talking about? I was reading late last night.”
Ji Zi’ang thought of something and said smugly, “You have a favor to ask of me now, and you dare to scold me? Hurry up and apologize to me, and I’ll forgive you.”
“Hmm? What did I beg you for?” Ji Yuanyuan was a little surprised.
“Big Brother doesn’t even have to go to school anymore. Who will drive you in the future?” Ji Zi’ang raised his head and looked at Ji Yuanyuan smugly.
Ji Yuanyuan was flexible and immediately apologized, “Second Brother, I’m sorry. I was rash just now.”
“Hee hee, that’s more like it…”
“I think you’re done. Hurry up and eat. After you’re done, go to school.” Before he could finish, Li Xu interrupted him and urged them.
Then, she looked at Ji Zixuan, “Your father and 1 will try to come back earlier tonight. If we don’t, take good care of Mucheng. 1’11 leave you 500 yuan later.” “Alright.” Ji Zixuan nodded calmly. “I’ll take good care of him.”
After breakfast, Ji Zi’ang drove Ji Yuanyuan to school while Li Xu and Zhang Kun went to the company.
They left early today, and there was still some time before class, so he was not in a hurry.
He drove Ji Yuanyuan slowly to the entrance of the neighborhood and waited for Yang Jingyi.
Yang Jingyi finally arrived after waiting for six or seven minutes.
“Why are you so slow?” She complained.
Yang Jingyi said with embarrassment, “I slept late at night, so 1 woke up late in the morning. 1 didn’t even eat, so I rushed over as soon as 1 got up.”
“All of you are staying up late. Be careful not to get pimples on your face.”
Yang Jingyi smiled and didn’t say anything.
They had plenty of time, but because of Yang Jingyi, they were almost late for class.
Because the holidays were to make room for the examinees, they moved all the books to the teacher’s office before the holidays.
The first thing they did when he returned to school was to move the books in the office back to their seat.
By the time Ji Yuanyuan arrived, the other students had already moved their belongings. Only a few students who arrived late had not done.
She hurriedly put her bag on the table and turned around to run to the teacher’s office.
There were not many books left in the office, only a few piles.
Ji Yuanyuan quickly found her pile.. She rolled up her sleeves and was about to pick up her books when someone suddenly grabbed her arm, “I’ll help you move it!”
