Chapter 560 The High-and-mighty, Two-Faced Academic Genius (Gong) VS The Unrestrained, Charming, and
Jiang Xiyu carried that brick-like gift box all morning.
When school ended at noon, a few of them went to eat.
Lu Ziqi could no longer contain his curiosity and asked Jiang Xiyu if it could be dismantled.
Jiang Xiyu glanced at it casually and said, "Let's demolish it."
What nice gifts can Bai Chengci's AI give you?
Lu Ziqi's movements as he unpacked the box were somewhat rough, especially when he was untying the bow on the gift box. As he did so, he cursed, "Which idiot tied the bow so ugly? Ugly is bad enough, but to make it so tight is even worse."
Jiang Xiyu glanced at him unhappily when she saw that he was trying to tear it open by force, and then took the gift box back.
Lu Ziqi called out in confusion, "Brother?"
Jiang Xiyu did not respond, but her slender fingers methodically untied the knot.
The knot was untied in a short while.
Zhou Xi moved closer, wanting to see what Bai Chengci had given him.
When Jiang Xiyu opened it, it was filled with two layers of cash, almost completely filling the gift box.
Jiang Xiyu: "..."
When Zhou Xi saw the money, she couldn't help but laugh: "Is this some new way to give money? It's even packaged in a red gift box, like giving betrothal gifts."
This box is quite big; I'd estimate it can hold over 200,000 yuan.
Lu Ziqi rolled his eyes so hard they almost reached the sky, and complained, "Making it so shabby, like my brother's never seen money before. Does my brother need him to give him money? Shameless, bringing this kind of box."
After stepping on Bai Chengci, Lu Ziqi raised his chin and said to Jiang Xiyu, "Brother, don't talk about this small amount of money. I can give you as much as you want. I will never be so stingy."
Zhou Xi gave Jiang Xiyu a meaningful look and asked, "By the way, why did he give you so much money?"
Jiang Xiyu casually closed the box and said indifferently, "He hit my car on Saturday."
Upon hearing this, Lu Ziqi exclaimed in surprise and asked with concern, "You were hit? Brother, are you alright? Why didn't you tell me...?"
Compared to Lu Ziqi's barrage of questions, Zhou Xi quickly pieced together the events of the day and figured them out.
"So, he said you accompanied him to the hospital last Saturday because the two of you were in a collision?"
Jiang Xiyu raised her hand and pressed her temples: "Hmm."
Zhou Xi thought for a moment, his eyes darkening.
Bai Chengci always has a driver when she goes out.
Even if there was a collision, it wouldn't have been at the point where Jiang Xiyu needed to take them to the hospital.
Not to mention, he personally came to Jiang Xiyu to give her money.
Zhou Xi had a strong feeling that something was wrong. After a moment of silence, she tentatively asked, "Don't you think he's acting a little strange?"
Jiang Xiyu remained noncommittal.
That's just plain stupid.
Lu Ziqi didn't beat around the bush like Zhou Xi. He slammed his hand on the table and said what he was thinking: "Brother, do you think he has a crush on you? That's why he tries every means to appear in front of you... It was the same thing at K-club last time. He even shamelessly sat next to you!"
Jiang Xiyu remained silent, and even when Lu Ziqi said that Bai Chengci had taken a liking to him, he was quite calm.
Although he knew what the little green tea girl was thinking, it was one thing to tell her directly, but quite another to tell her to someone else.
Jiang Xiyu took a sip of water unhurriedly and said, "You're overthinking it. It's just for Xu Yunzhi."
"Xu Yunzhi?" Lu Ziqi scratched his head. "What does this have to do with him?"
Jiang Xiyu didn't spell it out, but instead asked with a suggestive look, "What do you think?"
Lu Ziqi looked into his eyes and paused for a moment.
Then he realized what Jiang Xiyu meant and began to guess.
Bai Chengci and Xu Yunzhi grew up together, so their relationship is naturally very good, especially since Bai Chengci has always been close to Xu Yunzhi.
Lu Ziqi, with a lewd look at the gay man, suddenly had a sudden inspiration and blurted out: "Damn it, could it be that he likes Xu Yunzhi?"
Jiang Xiyu smiled casually, choosing silence as her answer.
Anyway, if Bai Chengci dares to spread rumors about him, then he can do whatever he wants.
Lu Ziqi exclaimed in shock: "Holy crap, no way!"
Zhou Xi touched his chin and glanced at Jiang Xiyu again.
Seeing that Jiang Xiyu's expression didn't seem like a joke, he was half-believing and half-doubting: "He really only came to find you because of Xu Yunzhi?"
Jiang Xiyu shrugged and spread his hands helplessly: "The first thing she said to me was to tell me to stay away from Xu Yunzhi."
Lu Ziqi seemed to have stumbled upon some earth-shattering gossip, clicking his tongue like a cicada's chirp.
“No wonder, he follows Xu Yunzhi everywhere. Damn it, if he really has feelings for Xu Yunzhi…” Lu Ziqi paused, then thought of what had happened earlier, and his tone suddenly rose: “If he likes Xu Yunzhi, brother, wouldn’t you become his rival in love?”
“Yeah.” Jiang Xiyu smiled inwardly, then continued, “Otherwise, you could run me over with your car on Saturday.”
Lu Ziqi clenched his fist and said, "Did he deliberately bump into you?"
Jiang Xiyu smiled faintly: "Maybe."
Lu Ziqi got angry: "Damn it, I'll get a few people to beat him up next time."
Zhou Xi, who always acted as a peacemaker, reminded Lu Ziqi, "Don't do anything reckless. You can't just touch Bai Chengci like that."
No matter how successful these people are, their families are in business, but they can't compare to the political status of Bai Chengci's family, which has been involved in politics for generations. The intertwined interests of these families, to put it nicely, are a case of money and power coexisting, but in reality, power is always the primary pursuit.
Bai Chengci was not someone they could touch.
Minor squabbles are fine if left unresolved, but once they are, it's no longer just a personal matter.
Although Lu Ziqi was a spoiled rich kid, he was aware of the stakes involved.
Otherwise, why would his mother keep nagging him to get along well with Bai Chengci?
Lu Ziqi cursed inwardly: What kind of relationship is this?
Seeing Lu Ziqi's resentful and indignant expression, and his inability to get rid of him, Jiang Xiyu couldn't help but chuckle to himself.
The waiter brought the dishes over, and Jiang Xiyu lightly tapped his chair with his toe, saying, "Sit down and eat."
Lu Ziqi then sat down, and after a while, he still reminded him with great concern, "Brother, I've already told you he's sick. He's been driven crazy by his family. You must stay away from him in the future."
A faint chuckle escaped Jiang Xiyu's lips, as if she had agreed, yet also as if she hadn't.
After finishing their meal, the three of them went out and hung out for a while.
By the time the party was over and everyone had left, it was already time for the affiliated high school to let out for the afternoon.
Lu Ziqi lingered, reluctant to leave. Only after Zhou Xi left did he approach Jiang Xiyu and say he wanted to go with him to pick up his sister.
Jiang Xiyu refused.
Lu Ziqi still wouldn't give up. He rolled his eyes and said, "Brother, just let me go with you. What if Bai Chengci tries to hit you again? I can shield you."
"..." Jiang Xiyu stared at him for a while, and finally said speechlessly, "You son of a bitch, just say you want a free meal."
Lu Ziqi chuckled: "It would be too embarrassing to just say it directly."
Jiang Xiyu ignored him and said, "Get lost!"
Once Jiang Xiyu had shaken off Lu Ziqi, who was being a nuisance, she went straight to the entrance of the affiliated high school, picked him up, and went home. Then she returned to her room and slammed the gift box she was holding onto the table.
After cooking, taking a shower, and finishing all those things, it was already 8 p.m.
Jiang Xiyu casually grabbed a towel to dry her hair, and after she finished, she stared at the gift box on the table for a long time.
A moment later, he got up again to untie the blue ribbon.
Red and blue, I don't know what kind of aesthetic this is.
Jiang Xiyu took out the money and counted it; it was exactly 200,000.
When the last two stacks were taken out, the kraft paper envelopes that were pressed at the bottom of the gift box were revealed.
The envelope had three words written in the center: Please open.
Jiang Xiyu hadn't expected this to exist. After pausing for a few seconds, she took out the envelope.
Upon opening the package, Jiang Xiyu was so angry he laughed: "Bai Chengci, you're really something!"
A picture with a WeChat QR code printed on it, and a few lines of text written in the blank space.
—I checked, and your motorcycle is worth about 450,000. However, it would be too heavy and unsafe to pack 450,000 in a gift box. So, there is 200,000 in the gift box, and I can transfer the remaining 250,000 to you via WeChat.
Jiang Xiyu: "..."
Damn it, do you think it's like getting a discount on Pinduoduo?
Even if it costs them money, they still have to scan the code!
Hold.
