Chapter 242: It’s Useless to Beg Me, I’ll Repay You What You’ve Done to Me (1)

Jiang Yining was momentarily taken aback. It turned out he had intentionally teased her to keep her from overthinking.

“I’m feeling better, thank you,” she replied.

“You’re welcome. My life is in your hands, and no one should make you upset. Otherwise, if your mood sours and you don’t treat me, what will 1 do?” Lu Zhi said lazily as he lay down on her bed, adding, “I’ll rest in your room for a while and let them cool off.”

She was glad he could help her vent her frustrations.

However, this didn’t mean he could lie down on her bed.

Jiang Yining tried to push him off but found that she didn’t have the strength to move him.

In the end, she jumped off the bed and went to the sofa, where she started playing with her phone.

With his arm serving as a pillow, Lu Zhi looked at her not far away and asked, “Jiang Yining, do you want to seek revenge on Gu Zhanqing? If you do, 1 can help you.”

Jiang Yining remained silent for a while before saying, “No need. If 1 really want to deal with him, I’ll take care of it myself.”

“Alright, if you ever need help, just ask,” Lu Zhi said casually.

“Okay.”

Jiang Yining lowered her eyelids, concealing her turbulent emotions.

In the living room, Gu Zhanqing and Jiang Rou waited and waited, but Lu Zhi didn’t come out.

Jiang Rou coughed a couple of times.

Gu Zhanqing said to the housekeeper, “Please tell Lu Zhi that we’re leaving.”

Jiang Ron’s health was not good, so she couldn’t exert herself for too long.

He took good care of her.

However, Jiang Rou shook her head and insisted, “Uncle, let’s wait for my brother-in-law to come out and say goodbye before leaving. After all, it’s our first formal meeting, and it wouldn’t be polite to leave early.”

Gu Zhanqing furrowed his brows, wanting to say something.

Just then, footsteps could be heard coming down the stairs.

Lu Zhi, with a sly smile in his dark eyes, descended the stairs leisurely and said, “I’m sorry, but Yining likes it when I tell her bedtime stories before she sleeps, so it took a bit of time.”

Jiang Rou, sharp-eyed, noticed a few red marks on his neck.

She guessed what they were but didn’t dare to ask.

Gu Zhanqing had also noticed and his expression turned extremely unpleasant.

His tone was equally harsh when he spoke, “If you were going to put Yining to sleep, you should have told us in advance. Ah Rou is unwell, and she had to wait here for you both for so long. Is this how you treat your guests?”

“When I’m with Yining, she’s the only one in my eyes, and I forget about everything else. I apologize for that. To make up for it, 1’11 send some medicinal herbs to Miss Jiang to help improve her health,” Lu Zhi said with words of apology, but there was no trace of remorse on his face.

He lightly clapped his hands.

Several servants approached, carrying gift boxes.

Inside were various rare medicinal herbs.

Lu Zhi said, “Housekeeper, please escort Mr. Gu and Miss Jiang back.”

The housekeeper stepped forward, bowing respectfully and gesturing for them to proceed.

Gu Zhanqing shot him an icy glare before leaving in anger.

Jiang Rou nodded politely and said, “Thank you for your kind gesture, Brother-in-law.”

Lu Zhi, looking at her retreating figure, spoke in a clear voice, “Miss Jiang, let me offer you a friendly reminder. I remember every bit of harm you’ve inflicted on Yining. The only reason 1 haven’t taken action against you is because Yining doesn’t want me to. But if you push your luck any further, don’t blame me for disregarding the friendship between our families.”

Jiang Rou hesitated briefly but said nothing, quickening her pace as she left.

As Jiang Rou walked away, Lu Zhi’s smile gradually faded, replaced by a dark and ominous intent in his eyes.

Monday morning arrived.

Jiang Yining struggled to get out of bed, rubbing her dark circles.

She had learned her lesson—she couldn’t get involved with the people from the Gu family. Last night, she had nightmares all night and had hardly slept. Her mind was buzzing.

After a quick freshen-up, she rushed to school.

As she approached the classroom, she saw chaos inside, as if a heated discussion was taking place.

Upon entering, she realized everyone was talking about Ye Xiaoxi.

“Have you guys seen the news? Our class’s poor student, Ye Xiaoxi, turns out to be the long-lost granddaughter of Old Master Yuan. The Yuan family held a grand ceremony for her return.”

“I’m so jealous. What if I’m also from a wealthy family, and my parents just haven’t found me yet?”

“Don’t daydream!”

Several people were gossiping, and when they saw Jiang Yining entering, they immediately pulled her into the conversation.

“Yining, you were close to Ye Xiaoxi. Did you know she’s from the Yuan family?” “Yeah, I knew. Why?”

Jiang Yining replied with a cold expression.

“It’s nothing, we’re just discussing,” one of the girls said sheepishly..
