Chapter 40
Must Pay the Price
Jiang Xi looked at Yang Tao in silence. She had left Du Lin, who could no longer be considered a man, to Yang Tao. This was also a kind of torture for Yang Tao. The original owner of the body was already dead, and she had no right to forgive anyone on her behalf. However, Jiang Xi had the responsibility to take care of all the men who bullied her and let her down. As for Yang Tao... She had chosen this path herself.
At the entrance of Happiness Academy, youths wearing the same uniform walked out the academy, exuding a strong scholarly aura, causing people to involuntarily take a few more glances. On the street that few people usually passed by, there were many young girls who pretended to pass by unintentionally. They looked serious and did not look sideways, but their slightly red ears revealed their emotions.
“Today, we must have a good drink or two. We must drink and admire the moon, and recite poems to match. Only then will we not waste such a good time!” Jiang Si could not hide the smugness on his face. He said to his friend from the same school in high spirits, “My mother has already prepared good wine and dishes. Today, everyone will come to my house to celebrate the holiday!”
Jiang Si had always been generous in the academy and did not seem to be short of money. Everyone had thought that the Jiang family was poor, but seeing Jiang SI’s generosity and the fact that he had made many friends because of his generosity, many people were envious.
At this moment, Jiang SI’s classmate, Dong Zhuo, pointed at Jiang Xi, who was standing under the tree. He pulled Jiang si aside and asked, “Jiang Si, is that little girl your sister, Jiang Xi? ” In fact, Jiang Xi was very good-looking. She was slim, elegant, and young. However, the way she stood silently under the tree made people flinch and give off a very strange feeling.
He Tongwen was wearing green clothes and holding a folding fan. He raised his chin at Jiang Xi, who was under the tree, and said to Jiang Si, “Why is your sister getting more and more...”
When Jiang Si heard Dong Zhuo and He Tongwen’s words, a hint of displeasure flashed across his face. This displeasure was directed at Jiang Xi, as he felt that Jiang Xi had embarrassed him. He lowered his eyes and explained to Dong Zhuo and He Tongwen, “Jiang Xi has been spoiled by my mother since she was a child. A few days ago, she caused a lot of trouble in the Du family. As you know, my sister has always been innocent and timid, but she’s not a bad person. She usually blushes and doesn’t dare to speak to strangers. It was those marriages that hurt her heart, so she did some irrational things.” As he spoke, Jiang Si’s gaze fell on He Tongwen.
At this moment, Jiang Xi, who happened to hear Jiang Si’s words, could not help but recall the scene she had seen when she had just been reborn into this body. Before she was engaged to Du Lin, Jiang Si would always take Jiang Xi out for a walk, intentionally or otherwise. Every time, they would coincidentally meet Du Lin. Du Lin was very good at sweet-talking and easily stirred up the original owner’s heart. The original owner trusted Jiang Si the most because he was the most promising and the hope of the entire Jiang family. The original owner felt that Jiang Si was the person who doted on her the most in the family. The day before he found out that Du Lin wanted to break off the engagement with the Jiang family, Jiang Si might have heard some news and come over to the original owner to say a lot of nonsense.
At that time, the original owner did not understand what Jiang Si meant. She did not understand what he meant when he said that if she wanted to get what she wanted, she had to pay a certain price first. Until the Du family came over to break off the engagement, and the pregnant Yang Tao showed off in front of her, the original owner finally realized that something in her heart had broken... Was this the price Jiang Si had told her about? The original owner looked at Yang Tao’s pregnant stomach and felt very disappointed.
Compared to the repeated rejections, Jiang Si’s words were the biggest blow to her. The original owner knew that most of the money she used to break off the engagement had been spent by her fourth brother, Jiang Si, but now... Her most trusted fourth brother, Jiang Si, was still plotting against her... Thus, the third time the original owner hung herself, was not just because the Du family broke off the engagement.
“Fourth brother, I’ve booked an ox cart. Second brother, Jiang Er, wants you to hurry up, or you won’t be able to make it home for dinner.” Jiang Xi looked at Jiang Si with a straight face and a blank expression. Jiang Si’s face darkened when he heard the words ‘ox cart’.?“Sister, you might have heard wrong. I told my mother that I will take the carriage back with my classmates. My classmates are all dragons among men, how can they take the ox cart? ” Jiang Si’s tone became sterner and he glared at Jiang Xi where no one could see!
Jiang Xi did not get angry at Jiang Si’s actions. Seeing that his classmates were just smiling and not saying a word, he guessed that they must have felt that they were superior and disdained to sit on an ox cart. Jiang Xi looked at Jiang si and said in a cold tone, “My fourth engagement was unsuccessful, and now there’s no compensation money at home for us to use.”
