The housekeeper retrieved the surveillance footage installed by the bodyguards and, sure enough, saw that it was Fang Jingjing who was entering and leaving the house of the girl who attempted suicide. It seemed that the message was also sent by Fang Jingjing.
Fang Jingjing's sudden visit today must have been something she had been preparing for a long time.
The housekeeper told her that the reason Fang Jingjing was able to attend the best high school in the city for her college entrance exam preparation was because she lied to the school, saying that she had a very good relationship with Jiang Cuo. The school made an exception and allowed Fang Jingjing to come because of this relationship.
He is a rare supporting character with a cunning mind.
It seems we need to take precautions.
Su Qianqian stared at the screen for a long time, then decided it wouldn't be good not to reply.
After all, neither of them explicitly said they were having a disagreement, and she didn't want Jiang Cuo's dislike for her to increase. As a mature adult, she shouldn't argue with a child.
Su Qianqian: [What did I leave here? I don't think I took anything from Jiang.]
Jiang Cuo: [I'm downstairs. Let's talk in person.]
Su Qianqian sat up abruptly from the bed.
Unexpectedly, Jiang Cuo acted first and informed the authorities later, even arriving at the villa's doorstep.
Although this place doesn't have distinct seasons or a winter, it's still a bit chilly now that autumn is here.
Out of politeness, Su Qianqian immediately went downstairs without making Jiang Cuo wait, and put on a thin nightgown.
When Jiang Cuo saw Su Qianqian hurriedly dressed in pajamas and slippers, without even socks, her slightly furrowed brows were smoothed out.
Su Qianqian truly cared about her; otherwise, knowing she was coming to see her, why would she rush down so hastily, without even putting on her clothes properly? Wasn't she afraid of getting cold?
A gust of wind blew through Su Qianqian's skin, and she wanted to finish quickly. "What did Jiang leave with me? I'll go back and find it right now."
Jiang Cuo silently took off his coat, then took two steps forward and draped it over Su Qianqian's shoulders.
"You don't need to deliberately make me feel sorry for you, silly."
Su Qianqian: "?"
As Jiang Cuo draped a coat over Su Qianqian, he whispered these words in her ear, almost making Su Qianqian think she was hallucinating.
When Jiang Cuo retreated, his expression was as usual, without the slightest abnormality, except that the tips of his ears were slightly red.
He spoke in a cold voice, "Love letter."
Su Qianqian: "What?"
“What’s given to me is mine, and there’s no reason to take it back. If you’re not giving it back, then you’re angry. Tell me what you’re angry about.”
Su Qianqian: "Huh?"
What is Jiang Cuo asking with such inexplicable confidence?
What? She's angry? She's not angry at all.
Before Su Qianqian could answer, Jiang Cuo spoke up, "I didn't ask Fang Jingjing to come. Grandpa doesn't know either. Jingjing told Grandpa that I asked her to come, and told us that Grandpa asked her to come. I don't know her at all. She's very calculating, which I don't like. She also likes to pry into other people's privacy. She even asked me what gift I was going to give you. She told me to give her a plush toy, but I chose to give her a fountain pen. I thought that since you've decided to study hard, you should like a nice pen."
Su Qianqian's almond-shaped eyes widened in shock.
This was the first time she had heard Jiang Cuo speak such a long string of words.
Is Jiang Cuo trying to explain this to her?
Jiang Cuo's phoenix eyes began to dart away, no longer daring to meet Su Qianqian's gaze, while the invisible fox tail behind him thumped nervously.
After saying that, seeing that Su Qianqian didn't reply, he felt uneasy, "That's how it is."
Su Qianqian smiled, as if she had breathed a sigh of relief.
"I'm not angry, but I'm grateful for Jiang Jiang's explanation. I really disliked Fang Jingjing's sudden visit today. If it has nothing to do with Jiang Jiang or my grandfather, then I can take good care of warning her."
I didn't bring the love letter back; it's at school. I'll return it to you tomorrow morning.
When Jiang Cuo heard Su Qianqian call her Jiang Jiang again, the light in her phoenix eyes visibly brightened, and the invisible fox tail behind her began to spin, almost like a propeller.
But he remained calm on the surface, pursed his lips, and only gave a faint "hmm". Then, as if to hide his embarrassment, he immediately turned around and left awkwardly, even forgetting his coat on Su Qianqian.
Su Qianqian was a little confused by Jiang Cuo's behavior. She scratched her head, and then a cold wind blew by, making Su Qianqian run upstairs and crawl into bed.
When Jiang Cuo came to explain today, she suddenly understood why she was upset.
I almost forgot, all you need to do is treat Jiang Cuo as the mission objective. The useless system is issuing those misleading missions, and you might easily fall into their trap.
But she always kept one thing in mind.
Talking about feelings costs money.
...
The next day, during physical education class...
The teacher has formed a volleyball team again.
Fang Jingjing actively signed up to show off, and even deliberately stood opposite Su Qianqian.
Fang Jingjing wasn't particularly good-looking, but she still wanted to be the center of attention, so she specifically trained in volleyball.
So every time Fang Jingjing received the ball, she would deliberately slap it hard at Su Qianqian's face.
Su Qianqian gave a cold laugh.
The original owner had studied dance, was extremely flexible, had also practiced contortionism, and possessed very strong explosive power.
So Su Qianqian retaliated in kind, throwing the ball right into Fang Jingjing's face with a powerful dunk.
Fang Jingjing's already unappealing face immediately became even more unsightly, and two streams of blood flowed down her nostrils.
After Fang Jingjing touched the blood, a shrewd glint flashed in her eyes, but before she could speak, Su Lian, who was pretending to be weak, pounced on Su Qianqian's side like a butterfly.
"My poor dear sister, how come she's being targeted by those petty people? Nine out of ten balls are aimed at her face. My sister is so weak, ouch, her wrist is all red from being hit. Let your little sister blow on it."
Su Lian exaggeratedly raised Su Qianqian's reddened wrist, pouted her little face, and blew hard.
Fang Jingjing was stunned; all the roles she wanted to play had been taken by Su Lian.
Jiang Cuo, who was watching from the sidelines, frowned, took something out of his pocket, and then stepped forward, silently pushing Su Lian aside.
He grabbed Su Qianqian's wrist, opened the container in his hand, and applied it to Su Qianqian's arm. Unexpectedly, it turned out to be iodine.
Su Qianqian agreed: "It hurts!"
The students felt sorry for Fang Jingjing: How could she be so mean!
A note from the author:
Jiang Cuo: Apologize to his wife
Su Qianqian: Making money is not shameful
Thank you to all the little angels who voted for me or watered my plants with nutrient solution between 17:38:40 and 23:49:49 on April 22, 2022!

Thank you so much for your support! I will continue to work hard!
Chapter Forty
Su Qianqian never expected things to turn out this way.
Now that the scenes have come to this point, if she doesn't cry a little, wouldn't it be a bit of a waste of the iodine Jiang Cuo brought out?
Su Qianqian spent a long time trying to shed tears, and seeing that Jiang Cuo's iodine was almost used up, she still couldn't produce any. When no one was paying attention, she secretly reached out and planned to pinch her thigh.
Unexpectedly, despite using all her strength, she didn't feel any pain. Then she heard Jiang Cuo beside her gasp softly.
Su Qianqian looked down and realized she had pinched the wrong leg; it was actually Jiang Cuo's thigh.
Jiang Cuo's phoenix eyes were slightly red at this moment, as if he was heartbroken for Su Qianqian.
"Don't be afraid, I'm here."
The aloof, sophisticated female academic genius applies medicine to the naive, rich, and innocent girl. The aloof academic genius's eyes redden with heartache. This scene between Jiang Cuo and Su Qianqian has made the Su fans swoon.
Even the Jiang faction is wavering. Does Jiang Cuo also like Su Qianqian?
Seeing that everyone's attention was focused on Su Qianqian, and that she hadn't gained anything at all, even though she had a nosebleed, no one offered her a tissue or showed any concern. Fang Jingjing's resentment grew even stronger.
He could only wipe the blood from his nose with the back of his hand, then fled in panic to the sink to clean it up.
Moreover, after she arrived in this class, she casually mentioned the girl who attempted suicide several times, but not a single classmate responded to her, and they seemed very impatient with bringing up the matter.
Why are the rumors completely different?
It's not that all the classmates disliked Su Qianqian.
It is said that Su Qianqian is arrogant and domineering, disliked by everyone, and deserves to be killed by everyone.
But the current situation is clearly that everyone is protecting Su Qianqian, completely ignoring reason and helping people without considering the facts.
Is this the power of money?
Fang Jingjing became increasingly unwilling to accept it.
...
Since Su Qianqian had iodine applied to her by Jiang Cuo, the relationship between the two has eased somewhat.
That evening, Jiang Cuo naturally went to Su Qianqian's villa with his textbooks. Su Qianqian didn't say much and simply let Jiang Cuo in for tutoring.
However, during this process, the two of them tacitly overlooked one person: Su Lian, who could no longer squeeze in.
Seeing that Su Qianqian's door was tightly closed, Su Lian could only stand outside in a very delicate white dress, anxiously stamping her feet and biting her lip, but she dared not be too presumptuous, lest she annoy Su Qianqian.
Su Lian could only make an appearance by delivering milk to Su Qianqian at 9:20 pm every night.
Although Su Qianqian felt a little strange, she didn't think much of it.
Since Jiang Cuo is willing to reconcile, she certainly can't refuse.
Just then, there was a knock on the door. Su Qianqian thought it was the maid bringing her milk, but to her surprise, it was Su Lian who opened the door. Su Lian was holding a tray, and the back of her right hand was red from the burn, but she still insisted on bringing Su Qianqian a glass of milk.
Like a strong, silly beauty.
And what a coincidence that the milk delivery person had to squeeze between Su Qianqian and Jiang Cuo.
The milk had just been placed on Su Qianqian's table when Su Lian, watching Su Qianqian's expression, noticed that Su Qianqian's gaze had already fallen on the back of her hand. She then spoke tactfully, "Sister, don't worry, and don't blame the maid. It was my initiative to bring you the milk."
