"She is my private tutor, Jiang Cuo."
[Useless System: Congratulations, host, you have successfully completed the mission of finding an opportunity for the two of you to have a private space together.]
However, turning her head away from Su Jianxiu and Su Lian, Su Qianqian winked at Jiang Cuo's cold and aloof beauty, trying to find a trace of sympathy in those icy phoenix eyes.
After all, this guy had been listening for quite a while.
Jiang Cuo didn't know why, but her foot took a step forward uncontrollably.
The mouth that hated most about agreeing to Su Qianqian's words inexplicably opened its mouth.
"I am."
A note from the author:
Honey, wait for me! I'm currently taking care of my health and will be hospitalized next month, so I've saved up all the chapters and won't be updating for now. I haven't abandoned the story, honey, sob sob!
Chapter Four
Jiang Cuo stepped out from the shade of the big tree.
Fearing that Jiang Cuo might change his mind, Su Qianqian quickly ran a few steps and grabbed Jiang Cuo's wrist.
"Did you hear that? Jiang Cuo is the top student in our grade, a popular figure in the school, with top-notch academic performance, and he's also my new deskmate."
Su Jianxiu was clearly embarrassed.
Just as Su Jianxiu was about to say something more, the butler made his move, and a row of security guards stood in front of Su Jianxiu.
Su Jianxiu didn't want to break off relations, so he could only glare fiercely at the butler.
Su Lian: "Dad... about my schooling..."
“Good daughter, your sister disregards family ties, so we don’t care about her either.”
So, under Su Qianqian's watchful gaze, he opened the car door and got in.
Su Qianqian released her grip on Jiang Cuo's wrist, crossed her arms, and looked triumphantly at Su Jianxiu getting into the car. She said sarcastically, "What goes around comes around. Doing too many bad things will bring retribution. Now you're so down on your luck that you don't even have a driver. Father, you'd better drive carefully..."
Su Jianxiu was so angry that his face turned ashen, and he stepped on the gas and drove out of the villa's yard.
Jiang Cuo looked down at his wrist, which Su Qianqian had held, and the irritable emotions in his heart surged up again.
[Waste System: Congratulations, host! Your integration with this world has increased by 1%. Keep up the good work!]
The system notification brought Su Qianqian back to her senses. Only then did she realize that the palm of her hand that had held Jiang Cuo's wrist was burning hot.
For a moment, some dared not look at Jiang Cuo's expression.
Su Qianqian said, "Um, Jiang, I'm sorry to have troubled you earlier."
Jiang Cuo didn't respond and turned to leave.
Su Qianqian mustered her courage and grabbed the same spot where she had just held Jiang Cuo's wrist.
[Waste System: Host, you're so brave!]
"Jiang said he's my tutor, so he should keep his word, right? What time will he come to tutor me tonight?"
[Waste System: A friendly reminder to the host: If you touch any part of Jiang Cuo's body on the same day, the fusion level will only increase once!]
Su Qianqian felt a chill run down her spine.
So just as Jiang Cuo was about to push Su Qianqian's hand away, Su Qianqian took the initiative to let go.
And so, Su Qianqian saw Jiang Cuo's wrist swing miss its target.
It looks rather awkward.
Jiang Cuo had no choice but to turn around and face Su Qianqian.
He put his hand down.
The last rays of the setting sun shone on Su Qianqian's face, and this was the first time Jiang Cuo had looked at Su Qianqian's face so closely.
Su Qianqian has very fair skin, a warm white color.
The wispy strands of hair framing her forehead, messy yet knowingly plastered to her face, perfectly shaped her features.
Su Qianqian has a pair of beautiful almond-shaped eyes that always seem to be smiling but not smiling.
Those eyes made it difficult for anyone to discern the truth from falsehood in whatever Su Qianqian said.
Normally, Su Qianqian speaks arrogantly and thinks she is the most important person in the world, but today Su Qianqian is low-key.
He seemed to be looking at her with extreme caution.
"What trick are you trying to pull now?"
Jiang Cuo frowned and asked in a cold voice.
The butler beside Su Qianqian automatically stepped back to prepare dinner for her.
In her view, Jiang Cuo and Su Qianqian's behavior was just children playing around.
In her original world, Su Qianqian was always alone.
Without support or reliance, she knew perfectly well how to please others to make herself more comfortable.
Jiang Cuo's level of dislike for her is as high as 90%. If she wants to enjoy everything in this world and perfectly integrate with it, she must get along well with Jiang Cuo.
You must quickly get close to Jiang Cuo and become his friend.
But she knew even better that the reason Jiang Cuo became the main villain in the book was because Jiang Cuo had no emotions.
In the book's worldview, where everyone is in a relationship, Jiang Cuo remains alone until the very end.
Therefore, Su Qianqian must carefully consider how to strike the right balance, so that Jiang Cuo can accept her advances while also understanding that she has no ulterior motives towards him.
Moreover, in order to achieve integration with this world through Jiang Cuo, she must first eliminate Jiang Cuo's aversion to her.
The integration level is already there, so she can't rush it.
To avoid the opposite of what is intended.
Moreover, Su Qianqian was also aware that in order to eliminate Jiang Cuo's aversion to her, she had to come up with many reasonable reasons to let Jiang Cuo know why the original owner was the way she was before, so that Jiang Cuo could understand.
Instead of simply making Jiang feel that the Su Qianqian she is now is no different from the Su Qianqian she was before.
Jiang Cuo is not the love-struck character from the book; her intelligence cannot be compared to that of an ordinary female villain.
Only when Jiang Cuo truly accepts the situation can the next steps of the plan be carried out step by step.
Su Qianqian almost thought through every possible reason why the Earth is round.
However, she overlooked the fact that Jiang Cuo had agreed to become her private tutor in front of Su Jianxiu and Su Lian.
This was clearly something she hadn't expected, and something she had taken a gamble on.
Just when the two were at an impasse...
A figure suddenly appeared behind Jiang Cuo.
Suddenly, Jiang Cuo's grandfather held a piece of pruned branch in his hand and looked at Jiang Cuo and Su Qianqian, who were facing each other as if they were confronting each other, with a puzzled expression.
Jiang Cuo's maternal grandfather had a kind face.
Su Qianqian looked up and saw that although Jiang Cuo's maternal grandfather looked a bit old, he was in good health.
But Su Qianqian subconsciously frowned. She felt that Jiang Cuo's grandfather's complexion didn't look very healthy.
Because Jiang Cuo's maternal grandfather had a bluish-white complexion, which was a sign of qi and blood deficiency.
Before coming to this bizarre world, Su Qianqian lived alone, so she paid more attention to her health.
After all, no one cared about her except herself.
Her life or death was as insignificant as a feather in that world.
But for Jiang Cuo's maternal grandparents, Su Qianqian was like a savior.
Although they didn't know what the original owner, Su Qianqian, was thinking, she allowed the elderly couple to live in this villa with Jiang Cuo and even gave them jobs so that they could earn some compensation.
However, both the villa gardener and the villa road cleaner made it easier and more comfortable for them, who were all alone, to raise a high school student.
They also have a permanent residence.
Therefore, in Jiang Cuo's grandfather's mind, Su Qianqian and Jiang Cuo had an extremely good relationship, like good friends, and Su Qianqian took special care of Jiang Cuo.
"Jiang Jiang, didn't Grandpa tell you to apologize to your classmate? Did you apologize?"
Your classmate was about to fall, why didn't you reach out to help?
Hearing that Jiang Cuo's maternal grandfather was calling Jiang Cuo by his childhood name.
Su Qianqian put her hands behind her back and pinched the soft flesh on her index finger hard with her thumb to force herself not to laugh out loud.
He tried his best to keep a straight face.
It's worth noting that, aside from the female protagonist, the most frequent descriptions in this book are of the female antagonist's ruthlessness, decisiveness, and viciousness.
In the future, Jiang Cuo embarked on the fastest way to make money: entering the entertainment industry.
However, Jiang Cuo is not an actor, but a boss director who selects actors. All the actors who debut under her guidance become hugely popular.
In the book, the most common way people address Jiang Cuo is as "General Manager Jiang" or "Sister Jiang".
But Su Qianqian felt that those people all seemed to want to call Jiang Cuo, or Jiang Zuzong.
Even someone as capable as Jiang Cuo had a weakness in her youth: her maternal grandparents.
Su Qianqian wasn't stubborn; even if the system told her that she didn't have the original owner's memories...
Su Qianqian also knew that the original owner had arranged for Jiang Cuo's maternal grandparents to live in the villa, which was not a good intention.
He probably wanted to use his own money to humiliate Jiang Cuo and try to break down Jiang Cuo's pride.
There are so many bright paths to take, and she doesn't want to choose the one that leads to her demise.
So Su Qianqian immediately put on a standard, well-behaved girl's smiling face and took two quick steps.
They walked up to Jiang Cuo's maternal grandfather.
"Grandpa, hello! I didn't expect that although you are old, you are still so healthy and your eyes are like those of a young man. When you got out of the car, you just tripped and fell, but you saw it all."
