Clearly fragile to the point of being easily destroyed, clearly meaningless.
Jiu You kept deceiving herself, telling herself that she didn't care, and she never had that expectation in her heart.
However, what Jiu You never realized was that she followed in her parents' footsteps, treating her children as seeds sown for profit. From then on, she closed herself off, focusing only on school education, and step by step became a university president, forbidding her students from being blinded by love or even from dating.
She never knew why she was able to get to this point.
Pei Ziqu was the one who eased things up.
After Jiu You said those things, Pei Zi Qu would explain that it would be better to study hard for love and live a better life with the person you love, wouldn't that be more worthwhile to pursue?
Therefore, Jiu You always thought that her education was a success and was complacent, unaware that someone was shining brightly for her behind the scenes.
When Jiu You learned about Xu Lian and Bai Qiu's affair, she felt relieved, hoping it would further confirm that her idea was correct: those who pursued love never had a good ending.
Therefore, Xu Lian has been closely following the story of her daughter Su Qianqian and the child who resembles Jiang Yi.
They have all proven this to be wrong, so no one can succeed.
She also does not allow success and perfection to occur.
Just then, there was a knock on the principal's office door, interrupting Jiu You's recollection.
Jiu You straightened up, composed himself, and said in a low voice, "Go in."
Su Lian opened the door a crack, then bent over and timidly walked in.
"Did we disturb Aunt Togashi?"
Jiu You frowned impatiently, finding the name Su Lian grating.
Su Lian's existence would occasionally remind her of the past, and this title made it even more difficult for her to separate herself from her past.
Jiuyou: "Just call me Principal."
With his hands clasped together, Jiu You stared sharply at Su Lian, who had her head down. "What do you want?"
But Su Lian suddenly raised her head, contrary to her usual behavior.
She feigned a pitiful appearance, which won Pei Ziqu's sympathy and favor. Pei Ziqu seemed to like children like her very much, so she was always kind to her and took her with her.
After Pei Ziqu got drunk, she tricked her into saying many things she shouldn't have, which also revealed some inside information to Su Lian, which is why Su Lian dared to find Jiu You.
She never forgot why she worked so hard to get into this university.
She wanted to stay by Su Qianqian's side; she wanted to prove to Su Qianqian that she was the only one most suitable for her.
Opportunity waits for no one. She wasn't Jiang Cuo, someone who was favored. What she wanted could only be obtained through hard work, even if it meant using some means. But what's wrong with a child who gets candy by crying? She was just crying harder.
"Principal, Su Qianqian and Jiang Cuo's behavior has created a very bad atmosphere in the school."
Jiuyou: "What does that mean?"
Su Lian: "I know the principal encourages everyone to study hard and not to talk about love and do useless things every day. Although I am not good at studying, I agree with the principal's idea. I am willing to become the principal's eyes and ears and supervise the students in school."
Although Su Lian didn't have high hopes after accidentally learning about it, she observed Jiu You's expression with every word she spoke. When she saw Jiu You's eyebrows furrow noticeably when she mentioned Su Qianqian and Jiang Cuo, she knew there was hope.
Jiuyou: "What do you want?"
Su Lian pinched her fingers to suppress her excitement: "I'm lucky to have gotten into this university. I don't want anything else, but I think if I can join the student council and have more contact with Su Qianqian and Jiang Cuowei, I might be able to observe them more carefully."
Jiuyou: "Okay. Don't let me down."
When Su Lian left the principal's office, her palms were covered in cold sweat.
The pressure emanating from Jiu You was so strong, it was as if he had already seen through her little schemes, but he still let her be.
Su Lian curled her lips into a cold smile. Just an old woman who couldn't get what she wanted.
She was shocked after accidentally learning about their past, so she decided to give it a try, and to her surprise, she actually succeeded.
To put it bluntly, the reason is that they are unhappy themselves, so they can't stand seeing others happy.
She was just playing right into her hands.
A hint of obsession flashed across Su Lian's face, which was covered in cold sweat.
But, sister, I'm here.
Jiu You stood up in his office and looked out the floor-to-ceiling windows at the students coming and going.
She wanted to know if Jiang Cuo and Jiang Yi were related.
...
Ever since that day in the dormitory, when Su Qianqian asked Jiang Cuo to wear a maid outfit just for her to see, and Jiang Cuo refused, Su Qianqian has been holding a grudge. Even when accompanying Jiang Cuo to class, she keeps two seats away from Jiang Cuo and doesn't sit next to him.
Every morning, he says "I love you" while his eyes wander elsewhere and he pouts as he says it.
Su Qianqian knew that Jiang Cuo's ankle injury was just a superficial wound and had already healed completely.
But Jiang Cuo used this excuse to refuse to wear a maid outfit for her.
Isn't it because he knows she likes him that he can do whatever he wants?
She's so cute, she can't stand being treated like this.
There were no classes during the second period in the afternoon, which was instead a cosplay event organized by the student council.
Su Qianqian deliberately didn't leave with Jiang Cuo. When Jiang Cuo returned to his dormitory to look for his cosplay maid outfit, he found that the outfit was gone.
Upon seeing Su Qianqian's message, he was already at the venue where the student council was holding an event, waiting for her.
When Jiang Cuo arrived, he saw Su Qianqian dressed in a maid outfit, and the judge's seat was reserved for Jiang Cuo.
The other classmates who knew about Su Qianqian and Jiang Cuo's relationship were all starry-eyed. Su Qianqian actually loved Jiang Cuo so much that she even gave up her judge's position to him.
When Su Qianqian saw Jiang Cuo arrive, she arrogantly raised her chin. If she wasn't allowed to see him, why should others? No way!
She left, to see what Jiang Cuo would wear.
Seeing that everyone's eyes were on Su Su Qianqian's cute little face, Jiang Cuo frowned imperceptibly, lowering his aura.
Su Qianqian only realized later that she had attracted too much attention.
Looking at her maid outfit that reached her thighs, she felt like she had shot herself in the foot.
The flower jay was completely mesmerized.
Suddenly, I turned around and saw an uninvited guest.
It was Su Lian.
How did she end up here?
He even lied to her, saying she was Su Qianqian's sister. She had treated her like a sister-in-law, so sincerely, but in the end, she suffered such a huge loss and lost face in front of Su Qianqian.
In the end, she was just an illegitimate child, a half-sister, what kind of sister is she?
Hua Kongque crossed her legs and fiddled with her long, wavy hair. "Hmph, but the student council isn't a place where just any Tom, Dick, or Harry can get in."
Su Qianqian had her back to Su Lian, so she didn't see Su Lian appear. She didn't understand what Hua Kongque was doing, acting so arrogantly.
Hua Kongque suddenly asked Su Qianqian, "Su Qianqian, do you think illegitimate daughters cause any harm to children from their original families?"
Su Qianqian: "?"
Hua Kongque: "Su Qianqian, don't be too sad. Just give a formal answer."
What's there to be sad about? She doesn't even have parents, so where does she get any empathy? "There's nothing wrong with being an illegitimate child, it's just that her existence is a mistake for the children of their original families. I feel nothing."
After answering Hua Kongque's inexplicable question, Su Qianqian turned around and found that Jiang Cuo was no longer at the door.
Su Qianqian immediately went out.
Just as she ran out of the classroom, in a secluded corner, Su Qianqian was suddenly grabbed from behind.
A familiar scent wafted over, and a warm pair of lips pressed against my neck. A muffled voice said, "Don't hate me."
A note from the author:
Su Qianqian: You are my god, how could I hate you?
Jiang Cuo is stubborn: It's a promise, right? It can't be changed.
Chapter 56
How could I possibly hate you?
Su Qianqian felt Jiang Cuo hugging her very tightly, as if she felt insecure.
I don't know why Jiang Cuo suddenly had this kind of emotion?
Feeling the familiar presence behind her and confirming that the person holding her was Jiang Cuo, Su Qianqian relaxed. She raised her hand and placed it on Jiang Cuo's arm, asking softly, "Why do you ask that? Is it because Jiang Jiang didn't dress me in a maid outfit, so you feel guilty?"
The corridor at the corner was dark and gloomy, with no sunlight streaming in, creating a vague and hazy feeling.
Jiang Cuo pursed her lips, not answering Su Qianqian's question.
A cool kiss landed on Su Qianqian's neck. Jiang Cuojiang buried his head in Su Qianqian's neck, as if pressing his entire weight onto her.
Su Qianqian felt a little breathless from being hugged so tightly, and sensed that Jiang Cuo's emotions were a bit off.
'Useless system, what's wrong with Jiang Cuo? Why did he suddenly become like this? Did something just happen to Jiang Cuo?'
[Useless System: Sorry, host, the system can only detect Jiang Cuo's emotional fluctuations, those related to the host. It cannot analyze emotions unrelated to the host.]
Su Qianqian gritted her teeth, feeling that even breathing was a little difficult.
'What's the use of keeping you? You're utterly useless.'
[Useless System: What's the point of being fierce to this little piece of trash, host? Jiang Cuo overheard what the host said at the door just now. Did the host say something that made Jiang Cuo unhappy?]
"If that's the case, then what you just said was just nonsense, wasn't it? If what I said caused Jiang Cuo's emotional change, it must be related to me, so how could the system not detect it? Therefore, something must have happened to Jiang Cuo while I was away, causing this change."
Su Qianqian's eyes darkened slightly as she pondered carefully.
However, she was dressed as a maid and arrived at the student council event venue before Jiang Cuo, and most of the people were there.
Su Qianqian suddenly thought of someone, but she didn't seem to see Su Lian.
Could it be that Su Lian has provoked Jiang Cuo again?
"Don't... hate me..."
