Chapter 7, A Road Longer than the Lines of Latitude and Longitude

"I want to kill my grandfather to inherit the family fortune sooner! Stop dreaming! One day you will be driven out of the Jiang family! This is just the beginning!"

At the other end of the dining table, Elder Jiang looked at Jiang Shuo Liu with a serious yet affectionate gaze, saying, "Since you have arrived, please take a seat quickly; the elders have been waiting for you for a long time"

Flow, wait for me...

After wiping the water off her face, Le Xiaolian suddenly caught a whiff of a foul odor emanating from her body, and discovered that there were actually rotten vegetable leaves and fruit peels on her clothes! She quickly covered her nose, and a surge of anger ignited within her

Old Master Jiang sighed, interrupting the escalating tension between Yu Hanyan and Xiao Yanfeng. At that moment, a slow and measured sound of footsteps suddenly echoed in the dining hall, causing everyone to involuntarily turn their gaze towards the intricately carved golden door that was tightly shut. Aside from the somewhat worried expressions of Old Master Jiang and Wen Zhenhai, as well as the faces of Yu Hanyan and Xiao Yanfeng filled with excitement and anticipation, the others displayed unmistakable expressions of glee at the misfortune of others.

Jiang Yiliu let out a loud shout, raising his fist and swinging it towards Jiang Shouliu. Jiang Shouliu sidestepped effortlessly, easily avoiding Jiang Yiliu's punch, but suddenly felt a sharp pain at the back of his head. He covered it with his hand and found his palm covered in blood. Turning around, he saw another cousin holding a vase, his eyes trembling with fear.

Walking behind her, Shen Xuechi continuously held up the DV camera, capturing the "spectacular" scene of Le Xiaolian and her surroundings. Zhang Xinru, resembling an agitated quail, hugged her head and timidly leaned against Shen Xuechi, yet she frequently cast worried glances at Le Xiaolian, who was walking alone at the front.

Who is it that not only monitors his every move but also dares to steal his phone, committing such a heinous act

Jiang Shaoliu ... ! ... This time, you have truly gone too far!

Bang

Jiang Shaoliu's gaze, however, was calm and devoid of any fluctuations. He smiled and patted Yu Hanyan's shoulder, and they both sat down in their respective seats.

Shen Xuechi ... ? ... Has she decided to come and cheer me on, or is she going to share in my hardships? ? ! Truly worthy of being a partner who once stood on the same front line as me! (Although she was once my opponent, the moment we achieved victory at the campus autumn cultural festival seems like a long time ago ... ... )

Hehe... on a chilly autumn night, a trace of peaceful smile graced his face, and he remained as untainted as ever.

"My legs are shaking." However, Shen Xuechi slightly lowered her eyelids and looked at Le Xiaolian's legs, which were trembling in a wave-like manner resembling instant noodles, and said expressionlessly.

A sharp pain deep in his heart nearly caused him to lose consciousness ... Tears, which he did not know when they had filled his eyes, fell incessantly like beads that had come loose from a string, and an unprecedented sense of despair rapidly spread to every corner of his body ...

Hmph, do you think I would be afraid of you?" Jiang Yiliu came back to his senses, struggling to get up from the ground. "Jiang Sholiu, from childhood to now, you have received more than I have, better than I have! Why should it be like this?! The facts are clearer than ever! With such lowly blood running through your veins, you only bring shame to the Jiang family! What right do you have to be the heir?! Today, you actually laid hands on me for a stinky girl of unknown origin! Go die!" Today, you actually laid hands on me for a stinky girl of unknown origin! Go die!

According to reliable intelligence, a mysterious individual codenamed "Angel Wings" has currently disclosed the truth behind the audio confession incident involving Le Xiaolian to the school authorities. This incident was orchestrated by the exceptionally talented Jiang Sholiu. Due to Le Xiaolian's ignorance and her constant declarations of enmity towards Jiang Sholiu, this incident serves as a lesson for the naive girl Le Xiaolian. The school authorities are currently conducting an investigation into this matter.

At that moment, Jiang Yiliu and his two other brothers strode in with an air of arrogance, snorting dismissively with their noses, their faces breaking into an immensely satisfied smile

Hmph! Hypocritical!

Is it you

Seeing this, Xiao Yanfeng rushed forward without a word to assist Jiang Shuliu! Yu Hanyan, who had long since left her seat due to the "chaos of war," anxiously watched as Jiang Shuliu was caught in a flurry of punches and kicks. She grabbed a small iron spoon from the table and rushed to Jiang Yiliu's back. Standing on a stool, she desperately struck Jiang Yiliu's head with the spoon!

Once Yu Hanyan finished speaking, Jiang Shuo did not utter another word. His tall figure directly vanished into the vast darkness, disappearing from sight

"Sir, I just called the young master's mobile phone, but it was turned off..." The middle-aged man replied cautiously, with his head lowered

Approval

The girl who just moments ago appeared fierce and menacing, as if she wanted to devour someone, suddenly cradled her face in her hands, gazing obsessively at the cold autumn night

On the top floor of the Black Prison Academic Affairs Building, the heavy crimson door of the General Academic Affairs Office was suddenly pushed open, and a hurried figure rushed in like a whirlwind

As soon as Le Xiaolian, who was lowering her head, heard the words "Cold Autumn Night," her gaze immediately began to waver gently, intertwining heavy regret and a faint sense of loss, creating a bitter taste in her heart

"Do not act this way, Liu." Wen Zhenhai quickly stood up, grabbing Jiang Sholiu's arm, desperately trying to suppress his anger

Amidst the torrential downpour of malice, Le Xiaolian stood motionless with her hands hanging down, making no attempt to resist. Drops of murky water dripped down from the tips of her hair and the edges of her clothing, as if in silent protest

Grandfather..." Jiang Shuo lowered his head and murmured softly, feeling as if his heart was being tightly squeezed by an invisible hand... He remained silent for a moment, turning his head... Yu Hanyan stared wide-eyed at his handsome yet arrogant profile, and a voice that brooked no dissent coldly reached her ears: "But this is my business"

"Young Master, please do not worry," a maid approached cautiously. "The doctor said that as long as the Master takes a little rest, he will recover. However, the injuries on your face and body..."

I apologize to everyone, I believe you all have a clear understanding of the entire situation, therefore, I do not need to explain anything further to you

What?!

Hmph! Exactly! Seeing his parents and other relatives backing him up, Jiang Yiliu became even bolder. His eyes were filled with a provocative gaze, sharp as daggers. "Jiang Sholiu, I have heard that your father used to be a self-righteous person like you, which ultimately led to his disgraceful end. As your cousin, it is my duty to remind you that for the sake of the Jiang family's reputation, it would be best for you to manage your reckless words and actions."

At the moment when Le Xiaolian was utterly despondent, suddenly a call filled with brilliant sunlight descended from the heavens

Le Xiaolian, you foul girl! How dare you openly confess your feelings to our 'Blue Rose King', Senior Han Qiuyue, online! Do you think that using such despicable means can attract his attention?!

"Is it really done by Jiang Shuo Liu? If it is indeed his doing, why would he admit to it? Is he not afraid of punishment?" Le Xiaolian murmured to herself as if in a soliloquy

"Let go." On a cold autumn night, Han Qiuyue gazed deeply at Jiang Shuo, as if she could see through the fragile facade of his disguised silhouette with a single glance. "The current reality has proven that you are not suitable for her!"

This is a disaster film that is more exciting than "Titanic". I need to shoot more footage

Indeed, indeed! It is simply a disgrace to virtue! How shamelessly bold to confess to Senior Han Qiuyue! It is truly disgusting!

As Xiao Yan Feng spoke, he turned his head to look at Wen Zhenhai beside him, only to find Wen Zhenhai, who was lifting his teacup, casting a disdainful glance at him—fool, you're only making things worse!

On a chilly autumn night, Jiang Shuo observed the elegant young man before him with a hint of surprise. Soon, he raised his chin and asked coldly, "Is there something you need?"

Yu Hanyan stood under the eaves, her increasingly tight fists bringing unexpected pain. She gritted her teeth, watching Jiang Shuo's distant figure fade away, and took a deep breath, murmuring to herself.

No need! Le Xiaolian turned her head, her gaze resolute and firm as she looked at Shen Xuechi and Zhang Xinru, "Such rumors cannot defeat me, Le Xiaolian!"

From now on, you are not allowed to participate in the tower assault

At this point, Han Qiuyue glanced at Jiang Sholiu without paying much attention, brushed past him, and continued walking straight ahead

"What kind of wind has blown the young master of the Jiang family to my place?" a figure asked with great interest

Uncertain how much time had passed, Jiang Shuliu, who was almost petrified, finally regained his senses, staring blankly at the scattered gifts on the ground, as if the power had been abruptly cut off, his mind was a blank white...

Shen Xuechi stood at the door of Le Xiaolian's dormitory with a backpack, while Zhang Xinru beside her cautiously suggested. The two of them looked worriedly at Le Xiaolian, who stood in front of the dressing mirror, solemnly adjusting her school uniform's tie as if she were donning battle armor.

The girl at the forefront, holding a basin in her hands, had a grim expression as if she wished to immediately tear her apart with her teeth

Jiang Shuo Liu! Do you think that using a false identity to be with him will make everything alright?" Yu Hanyan's body stiffened for a moment. She looked at Jiang Shuo Liu, took a deep breath, and resolutely said aloud, "Jiang Shuo Liu is Jiang Shuo Liu! You can never escape this identity and become Shi Xun! If Le Xiaolian finds out that you have been deceiving her all along, she will only hate you..."

At this point, can I still trust you

Was all of this really done by Jiang Shuo Liu

Ah! Liu! Yu Hanyan was the first to leap up from the stool, bouncing over to Jiang Shuliu's side like a joyful little rabbit. She grabbed his clothes tightly, looked up at Jiang Shuliu, who was a full two heads taller than her, her eyes desperately sending out waves of admiration and adoration, "You finally made it, are you alright?"

Where is the young master? Why hasn't he arrived yet?

Ugh ... ... it smells so bad ... ...

Ah... sitting next to Wen Zhenhai, Xiao Yanfeng, who was wearing earplugs and playing on his PSP, felt someone nudge his foot. He looked up and met the gaze of Wen Zhenhai, who was giving him a meaningful look, and quickly forced a silly laugh. "Yes, yes! Grandpa Jiang, you know that Liu is the number one idol of our Xinggao, no, that's not right, he is the number one idol of the entire Star Alliance! It's only natural to be a bit busy! You have no idea how troublesome those girls can be! Hahahahaha!"

The sound of clapping!

As long as the punishment of Le Xiaolian is revoked, I will take full responsibility for everything

Jiang Shao glanced indifferently at the continuously contorted and ugly faces, then turned around to quietly look at his grandfather on the hospital bed, the only person who had truly cared for him since childhood, his only relative... A kind of indescribable pain tore at his heart like sharp knives.

It felt as if a thunderstorm was about to strike, and the atmosphere in the Academic Affairs Office was particularly oppressive and humid, making one feel uncomfortable all over. Director Ma sat behind the desk like a judge from hell, his expression stern as he fixed his gaze on Le Xiaolian. "Do you remember the last time you came to my office? I have already warned you that violating school rules will result in severe punishment. Last time, it was because Han Qiuyue vouched for you, but I never expected that this time, even Han Qiuyue would be implicated by you!" I have already warned you that violating school rules will result in severe punishment. Last time, it was because Han Qiuyue vouched for you, but I never expected that this time, even Han Qiuyue would be implicated by you!

Alright, everyone, let's not discuss it any further. We should still...

Who exactly is this person? What is even more detestable is that he is completely immersed in the ease and joy of being with Xiao Lian, yet he is utterly oblivious to the impending danger approaching him

"You are not allowed to insult her." Jiang Shuo Liu lowered his head, clenched his fists once more, and looked down at Jiang Yi Liu on the ground, as if facing an ignorant ant.

Since he met Le Xiaolian, he had never seen her display such an expression. Jiang Shouli felt as if a huge stone was lodged in his heart, and even breathing was accompanied by a faint pain.

Jiang Shaoliu stood at the door, seemingly wanting to use the scolding of the crowd to punish himself for his earlier impulsiveness, standing there quietly and saying nothing. The relatives beside him kept pointing and gesturing at him, shouting in frustration.

There stood a silent girl, adorable like a doll, puffing up her rosy little cheeks in anger, her starry, bright eyes wide open, glimmering with long and thick eyelashes, as if she were Little Red Riding Hood who had just seen the big bad wolf, glaring exasperatedly at Xiao Yanfeng

She has made up her mind to face everything with personal strength, therefore, when the girls collectively shot her a barrage of disdainful glances, she merely stood silently, slightly closing her eyes

She not only implicated Senior Han Qiuyue, leading to her own disgrace, but more importantly, participating in the tower assault has become an unattainable dream

Why did things turn out this way

However... Zhang Xinru looked at Le Xiaolian, who was immersed in self-encouragement, and Shen Xuechi, who was busy filming a video, with a worried expression. In the end, she could only let out a helpless sigh, "Sigh... I understand now, it seems today is destined to be a day of turmoil and bloodshed..."

Is this the command of the crownless king of the Star Alliance? On a cold autumn night, Han Qiuyue calmly met Jiang Shuliu's gaze, and within her tranquil voice was an imposing aura. "Now is the most critical moment for Xiao Lian. If you cannot even protect the girl you like, then I see that you, this crownless king, are more like a ridiculous notion."

Cold! Cold autumn night, senior? The girls from the guard team exclaimed excitedly

Oh... the senior was so fierce to us for the first time on this cold autumn night

Under the teaching building, Shen Xuechi caught up with Le Xiaolian while carrying a DV. Although her voice remained indifferent, there was a hint of concern in her gaze

But father! The noblewoman's face flushed with anger, "You are being too protective of him! Our Jiang family's upbringing does not allow such reckless behavior. Liu, you are the future heir of the Jiang family, and such a scandal must be explained clearly to everyone!"

At this thought, his heart seemed to transform into a cave amidst a tsunami, continuously churning out bitter foam accompanied by flashes of lightning and thunder, exuding an air of despair

In this opulently decorated mansion, filled with indifference and strife, Jiang Shuo Liu quietly waited by a luxurious large bed, gazing at his grandfather's aged and weary sleeping face under the dim light of the bedside lamp, deeply lowering his head in self-reproach

The girl who brought the information was panting heavily, her face flushed, struggling to catch her breath as she provided additional details

"On the surface, they appear very kind, but in reality, they are capable of doing anything behind the scenes"

"Come on, let's do it!" Xiao Yanfeng stood up from his seat, disregarding the reproachful gazes of others, rolled up his sleeves, and exclaimed loudly, "Liu, this guy's mouth is too annoying!"

Continuously spinning, it accepts the merciless judgment

Student Le Xiaolian from Class 1 Year 1, please report to the Academic Affairs Office immediately

I have come to inform you how this matter should be resolved. Jiang Shuo Liu seemed to have anticipated that the other party would respond in this manner. He slightly narrowed his eyes, took out a piece of paper that he had prepared in advance from his pocket, and slammed it heavily onto the desk, stating emphatically, "I believe that after you look at this, you will definitely be very interested!"

Bang

Due to the severity of this incident, it has significantly impacted the reputation of Deya. The school has decided to issue you a disciplinary record! At this point, Director Ma removed his glasses and rubbed the acupoint beside his eyes, letting out a long sigh of helplessness. According to the school's regulations, all students who receive a disciplinary record will permanently lose their eligibility to participate in the tower assault.

As he watched the receding figure of the cold autumn night, Jiang Shuo Liu's increasingly clenched fists made a creaking sound. Suddenly, he furrowed his brow, turned around, and hurriedly ran back along the path he had come.

Ah

Master Jiang! Master Jiang! What has happened to you!

Hmph! Yu Hanyan gave Xiao Yanfeng a forceful roll of her eyes, then turned her head to the side! The carefully styled doll-like curls she had just arranged fell a few strands onto her chest due to the earlier movement, making her look even more beautiful and captivating

Unable to endure any longer, Le Xiaolian finally interrupted Jiang Shouliang's incessant chatter! She clenched her fist tightly, desperately adjusting her breathing, yet her gaze remained like a frozen pond in winter, emanating a chilling aura that sent shivers down one's spine

After reading the note, the figure indeed chuckled lightly: "Hehehe... Young Master Jiang, have you thought carefully about the consequences you will bear?"

"Hmph, Xiao Feng is not wrong!" At this moment, a young man in his twenties, dressed in a white suit and sporting a trendy quiff, cast a mischievous glance at Wen Zhenhai and Xiao Yanfeng, as if he were discussing the gossip of a third-rate celebrity, curling his lips in a smirk. "As the number one idol of the Star Alliance, Liu must be busy dealing with all the girls! By the way, I heard from a friend in the Star Alliance that Liu seems to be getting quite close to a girl from Deya High School recently. That girl often comes and goes from other people's residences late at night! This audio incident seems to be related to her as well! Hehehe, he is indeed very busy!" By the way, I heard from a friend in the Star Alliance that Liu seems to be getting quite close to a girl from Deya High School recently. That girl often comes and goes from other people's residences late at night! This audio incident seems to be related to her as well! Hehehe, he is indeed very busy!

At this moment, in the affluent area to the south of Xinghua City, in a villa as grand and magnificent as a royal palace, about ten elegantly dressed men and women are gathered around a lavish rectangular dining table, exchanging disdainful and mocking glances directed at the only empty chair.

That's right! Don't think we don't know! You've had your eye on him since the first day of school! What are you pretending to be pure for! Shameless!

Time Xun

It is unclear when, but the administrative building of Deya High School has acquired a sinister nickname—"Black Prison"—and has been listed among the ten "scenes" of the Star Alliance by the students

"Xiao Lian, how are you?" that voice gently inquired

Perhaps due to the passage of time, the walls of the administrative building have developed some dark stains, and the entire structure is covered by a dense layer of ivy, resembling a thick, impenetrable cloud that shrouds it completely

Little Cola

Smelly girl! Please stop coming to pollute our sight! Hurry up and get lost!

At that moment, a warm hand firmly grasped her wrist: "Step aside, do not let me see such things again!" The voice, which should have been gentle and pleasant, sounded angry and somewhat trembling.

"Shen Xuechi? Do you... have something to discuss?" Seeing Shen Xuechi standing behind her, Le Xiaolian blinked in confusion.

Alas, only such debauched parents could raise such a shameless son! The outcome is truly a sin...

Endless disdainful glances and exclusion

On a cold autumn night, my affairs with Le Xiaolian are none of your concern! Han Qiuyue's words made Jiang Shuo feel like an angry lion, his fur standing on end in a furious rage

Just now, the desperate and angry gaze of Le Xiaolian lingered in front of him for a long time, refusing to fade away

On the following day, such whispers and even direct provocations spread like a terrifying plague, filling every corner of De Ya High School and even the entire Star Alliance. In the girls' dormitory room 305 at De Ya High School, the atmosphere had completely lost the clarity and freshness of the morning, fully immersed in a sense of lifelessness.

Le Xiaolian walked forward like a puppet with a broken string, her usually bright and spirited gaze appeared particularly dim and chaotic, mirroring her scattered thoughts

Only Le Xiaolian was left standing alone, dazed and unable to regain her composure for a long time

"Stop it!" Old Master Jiang shouted in exasperation, pounding the table furiously.

The hottest posts on the Star Alliance BBS

Hehe! The young master of the Jiang family wants me to help with a task, and of course, I cannot refuse. However, this matter has already escalated significantly, and it is somewhat tricky to handle!" A figure slightly adjusted their folding fan and spoke meaningfully.

He actually did it for that troublemaker

"Little Cola, you ... ... " As four gazes collided in mid-air, Jiang Shuo Liu couldn't help but gasp in shock

Jiang... Jiang Shuo Liu! You! Amidst the exclamations of the relatives, Jiang Yi Liu covered his swollen cheek, raising his head in a fit of anger to glare at Jiang Shuo Liu, only to be rooted to the spot by the cold and murderous gaze emanating from Jiang Shuo Liu's eyes at that moment

Indeed. Seeing the expression on Le Xiaolian's face, Shen Xuechi's lips curled into a smile tinged with a hint of appreciation, "You have ambition."

Have you heard? Le Xiaolian, the girl who wanted to confess to Senior Han Qiuyue...

What? The sudden turn of events left everyone stunned, and Le Xiaolian also raised her head in shock, looking incredulously at the girl who brought the information. However, soon after...

Upon hearing Director Ma's words, Le Xiaolian wanted to say something in her defense, but as she slightly opened her mouth, she realized she had no arguments to make. She could only close her mouth tightly and lower her head in unease

What is there to say! As the saying goes, like father, like son. However, the new generation is even more unscrupulous than the previous one! A middle-aged man was accompanied by a noblewoman with her hair styled in a bun, who took a sip of the red wine in her crystal glass, her tone filled with disdain

Hello! Wait for me!

Sigh... it truly is one wave after another. Although I had long been mentally prepared to be "educated" by Director Ma, this has come a bit too quickly, hasn't it

That is the most important ideal for Xiaokela! It is the foundation of all her continuous efforts! ... Now, however, it has all been ruined due to her own negligence ...

Early the next morning, Le Xiaolian walked through a lush green camphor tree garden (one of the Ten Scenic Spots of the Star Alliance, known as "Green Garden") towards the teaching building. Suddenly, a large bucket of icy water surged towards her like a giant wave, drenching her from head to toe like a drowned rat

Bang

"Forget it, Second Sister!" The elegantly coiffed noblewoman cast a disdainful glance at Jiang Shuo Liu, "The Jiang family has long lost its face because of him, and that useless father of his... I really don't know what sins the Jiang family has committed to have such a shameful relative. We are truly unfortunate!"

Jiang Shuo Liu, everyone is waiting for your confession today! You actually came back so late, could it be that you went on a date with some girl again?" The young man in the white suit wore a wicked smile, looking at the young Jiang Shuo Liu with a mix of disdain and anger.

Bang

Yu Hanyan... you little brat! Do you want to break my foot?!" Xiao Yanfeng covered his foot, which was hurt from being stepped on, and grimaced as he roared at the cute girl sitting opposite Wen Zhenhai.

She raised her head in disbelief, shaking her head vigorously in a desperate attempt to make her nearly unconscious mind clear up... Impossible... Impossible... It must be that she heard it wrong! It must be!

This time, he actually wants to completely destroy me... Why do such devil-like people exist in this world...

Teach this harmful person a lesson

Liu, where are you going? Seeing Jiang Shuo wanting to leave, Xiao Yan Feng anxiously wanted to chase after him

Indeed, it is truly outrageous

Hoo hoo! It seems that the most difficult group of fellows has come knocking— the "Autumn Night Guard" of Deya High School!

Grandfather, I am sorry! ... ..." Jiang Shuo Liu's lips trembled slightly, his voice choked with emotion, and then he turned silently and walked down the stairs, heading towards the main door

After a flurry of hurried footsteps, a cloud of smoke rose from the ground, and the guards fled at lightning speed

"Do not worry about me," Jiang Shuo Liu said as he stood up from the chair by the bed, reluctantly shifting his gaze away from the face of Old Master Jiang. "Please... take good care of grandfather..."

A girl came running from a distance, panting heavily, while continuously calling out a name that sent shivers down the spines of all the girls.

Just as she was silently waiting for everything to come to an end, suddenly—

However, as soon as Wen Zhenhai's words fell, Yu Hanyan, who was standing beside him, ran out like a startled deer

"What happened to Jiang Shuo?" a girl from the guard team asked nervously as she turned her head.

After speaking, Shen Xuechi raised the DV hanging on her chest and began to take close-up shots of Le Xiaolian's face

Make sure to remember this warning clearly! Keep a distance from Han Qiuyue! Otherwise, next time, it won't be as simple as just splashing water!

Wen Zhenhai wanted to continue speaking, but he was stopped by the sharp gaze of Old Master Jiang, which seemed capable of seeing through a person's heart at a glance

Having lost the qualification to attack the tower ... ! ... all the efforts previously made will turn to nothing !

On a chilly autumn night, I gently closed my eyelids, yet my gaze transcended the flowing river, leisurely looking into the distance: "I have said that this time I will not let go, so I will do my utmost to help Xiao Lian. And you... I do not understand, what more do you wish to do to her now?"

Le Xiaolian, how dare you still show your face in class! Get out of Deya High School!

"Resolve the audio issue on the school's BBS as soon as possible," Jiang Shuo Liu said with a sharp gaze, looking down from a height

It seems that our protagonist is finally about to make an appearance

On the path from the girls' dormitory to the teaching building, the intensity of the students' emotions seemed to far exceed the expectations of Le Xiaolian and her two companions. As soon as Le Xiaolian appeared at the entrance of the dormitory building, the students unleashed a barrage of insults and disdainful glances at her like arrows without any mercy

However, he seemed to be completely unaware of anything. ... Waiting at the door, Shen Xuechi turned the DV camera towards Le Xiaolian, but he quickly sensed that something was amiss. He slowly lowered the DV, gazing at Le Xiaolian, his indifferent eyes faintly flickering with a hint of concern ...

Little Cola

The last glimmer of hope was also drained away, and Le Xiaolian looked at Director Ma in despair, her vision gradually becoming blurred. A wave of excruciating pain erupted in her head!

Jiang Shuo Liu! Your good days are over! Now that grandfather is ill, the one in charge is uncle! The family meeting has decided to temporarily revoke your status as heir and cancel all your heir privileges! Hahahaha!

It is really him

He glanced at his watch and looked somewhat displeased at a middle-aged man standing silently behind him

"Grandpa Jiang," seeing the old man's expression growing increasingly somber, Wen Zhenhai, who was sitting in the empty seat to the right, quickly interjected, "After school, I will handle some matters related to the student council, so..."

On a cold autumn night, why didn't I think of you... Suddenly, Jiang Shuo's gaze towards the cold autumn night became sharp, his jaw tightened, and he involuntarily clenched his fists. "Was it you who did the audio thing? You suddenly said you wanted to fight for Xiao Lian, and I just felt it was abnormal. I really didn't expect that you, who are regarded as an angel by Xiao Lian, are actually a demon!"

Before she finished speaking, Le Xiaolian raised her hand and forcefully pushed away the gift box in front of her, staring intently at Jiang Sholiu, her large eyes filled with an unfathomable anger: "What on earth is going on with the audio on the bbs? Now the entire Star Alliance knows about it, are you pleased?!"

"Liu, stop it quickly!" Seeing Jiang Shuo about to lose his composure, Old Master Jiang anxiously stood up from his seat and shouted to stop him

Wen Zhenhai swallowed a mouthful of tea without changing his expression, and just as he was about to secretly give Xiao Yanfeng a harsh kick to remind him to speak cautiously, Xiao Yanfeng preemptively let out a shrill cry like a duck being choked by the neck

This time he has truly been let off lightly! For committing such an act that tarnishes the family reputation, his right to inheritance should be revoked immediately!

rumbling

Ah! Father! Father!

"Grandfather, I am back," said the young man in white, looking at the elderly Jiang sitting at the other end, speaking with respect and politeness.

What?

What is going on! It is already past 7 o'clock! Dad, the person who needs to take responsibility for the whole matter is Liu! He actually made us wait for more than an hour!

I got it! How shameless! Do you really think you deserve Senior Han Qiuyue?

These past few days, I feel as if I have become a spinning top

"Xiao Liu, the school has already informed the steward about the audio issue. We hope you have a reasonable explanation; this is utterly ridiculous! It has completely disgraced the Jiang family!" A middle-aged man, sitting diagonally opposite Old Master Jiang and sporting a neatly trimmed goatee, furrowed his brows tightly as he sternly reprimanded Jiang Shuo Liu

Jiang Shuo Liu, I have no obligation to respond to your speculations. I merely wish to remind you that in front of Xiao Lian, the you who bears no title of 'Jiang Shuo Liu', the you who dares not reveal your true self, can you truly step forward to protect her? And the you who possesses this title is even less capable of doing anything for her! You are fundamentally destined to be enemies! Give it up, this time you cannot possibly win against me.

Let us go

Splash

The discussions among her classmates made Le Xiaolian, who was already extremely frustrated, feel somewhat irritated. However, just as she was about to stand up from her seat to warn those guys, a piercing broadcast suddenly echoed across the campus of Deya

Da da da da - da da da da -

Who is it, immediately followed by a furious shout that exploded in her ear, made Le Xiaolian turn her head in surprise. She discovered a group of girls wearing the De Ya school uniform, with red cloth strips tied uniformly on their heads, bearing the words "Sworn to Defend the Cold Autumn Night." They were lined up in a triangular formation, their faces filled with dark expressions, standing like vengeful goddesses amidst a raging fire of anger and jealousy, glaring fiercely at her. The girls, with red cloth strips tied uniformly on their heads, bearing the words "Sworn to Defend the Cold Autumn Night," were lined up in a triangular formation, their faces filled with dark expressions, standing like vengeful goddesses amidst a raging fire of anger and jealousy, glaring fiercely at her.

I never expected that the situation would evolve into such serious consequences... participating in the tower assault...

"Alright, alright, everyone stop talking," Elder Jiang said with a frown, waving his hand in displeasure. "I believe Liu ... ... "

Classmate Le Xiaolian, you have truly gone too far

Le Xiaolian

The girl gasped for breath, vigorously waving a piece of paper that she had been tightly holding in her hand. The other girls immediately crowded around her, and one of them boldly began to read aloud the bold black and white characters on it.

Having broken through the high-pressure frontline interwoven with the unusual gazes and intentional or unintentional loud discussions of her classmates, Le Xiaolian finally arrived at her seat, took off her exceptionally heavy backpack from her shoulder, and let out a long sigh of relief, as if she had completed a long journey.

At that moment, a slender figure blocked his path. Jiang Shuo Liu alertly raised his head, and a pair of slender and elegant eyes were gazing at him with profound meaning.

Grandfather

Oh? This... this is because I am too excited! When facing challenges, people... people tend to become a bit excited, right?" Le Xiaolian was taken aback and urgently explained to Shen Xuechi in a loud voice, but soon, her voice fell like a splash of water that surged up and then quickly subsided. "... Senior Su Youhui once said, never evade the mistakes you have made. Since those words in the audio are indeed what I said, regardless of whether they were posted online by some boring person, I must bear the consequences. ... Senior Su Youhui once said, never evade the mistakes you have made. Since those words in the audio are indeed what I said, regardless of whether they were posted online by some boring person, I must bear the consequences! ... I, Le Xiaolian, aim to become the top student in the Star Alliance. ... So, you two just watch! I will never give up!"

So what about your grandfather, whom you value the most? ... ... How is he doing now? It is precisely because Le Xiaolian has made your life a mess that your grandfather has fallen ill!" Yu Hanyan pressed on relentlessly, her voice growing increasingly somber, "Is it really worth losing everything for an inconspicuous girl?"

"Do not say anything more! All of you, get away from me!" I never expected that this voice could be so terrifying when angry

She actually came to school, she is truly impressive...

... ...

Alright, alright..." Hearing the buzzing discussions of the people sitting on both sides of the long table, the elderly man furrowed his brow in slight impatience, raised his hand, and interrupted the incessant complaints of those around him

This time, you have truly made me hate you

And also, Dad ... ...

Seeing Le Xiaolian, who was trying to muster her spirits, Shen Xuechi sat quietly in her seat, pondering something. Then, she suddenly picked up the DV and, facing the puzzled gazes of Zhang Xinru and other classmates, quickly walked out of the classroom

Ah! I have never seen my senior up close like this; he is truly beautiful!

Le Xiaolian raised her head stiffly like a robot that had lost power, and said in a distracted manner: "Thank... thank you, senior."

"Have you said enough..." Hearing Jiang Yiliu's words, Jiang Shuli tightly clenched his fists, suppressing the tremors throughout his body, his voice as cold as ice.

Uncertain of how she had walked out of the academic affairs office, Le Xiaolian stumbled repeatedly against the gray-white walls of the building, colliding with the students approaching her...

"Of course it's me! Xiao Kele, what's wrong with you?" Seeing Le Xiaolian's face stiffened with no expression, Jiang Sholiu raised his eyebrows in surprise, widening his eyes as he carefully examined her from close range. Suddenly, he smiled slightly and magically took out a golden gift box from behind him, saying, "This is for you! Your favorite..."

"Do not mind me." Jiang Shuo Liu did not turn his head, his voice seemed damp and low, as if soaked by the rain

The girls have become even more frenzied, as fists began to fall like raindrops.

Jiang Shao Liu stood quietly in the rain, with his back to the dazzling lights at the entrance of the "home" behind him, a sense of loneliness and desolation permeating the air.

Do you know? Because of this audio, I received a punishment! I, I can no longer participate in the tower assault!" As she spoke the last sentence, Le Xiaolian's voice trembled violently, and large drops of tears fell to the ground. She wiped her face, streaked with tears, heavily and shouted angrily at Shi Xun.

Jiang Shaoliu

"Apart from my grandfather, I have no family..." Upon hearing Yu Hanyan's words, Jiang Sholiu closed his eyes and slowly spoke

The noisy hall suddenly fell silent, filled with surprise, panic, and schadenfreude... A variety of gazes intertwined and focused on Jiang Sholiu.

It is unknown when the sky became filled with thick, unyielding dark clouds. Before long, large raindrops fell uncontrollably from the sky, resembling sorrowful tears, soaking the earth.

Ah? Jiang Shuo Liu was taken aback for a moment, then smiled nonchalantly, "Hehe, Xiao Kele, so it was about this matter! I guessed you would be angry, so I specially bought a gift for you! Actually, it's nothing much! It seems that even the heavens want to convey your feelings to Han Qiuyue! Does Han Qiuyue know? What was his reaction? I think..."

Isn't that right, Grandpa? Ever since I entered high school, I've been living alone in a high-end apartment! It's easy to go astray like this, isn't it? I'm already in my twenties, and I'm still living with my parents...

Jiang Shuo Liu, what did you say?! Upon hearing Jiang Shuo Liu's words, the young man in the white suit erupted with complaints, slamming his hand on the table, and angrily walked up to Jiang Shuo Liu, saying, "Don't think that just because Grandpa dotes on you, you can act so arrogantly!"

How despicable... Do these people really need to curse so harshly! Don't they have even a shred of camaraderie? Hearing the insults from her classmates around her, Le Xiaolian gritted her teeth and silently told herself, "But I will absolutely not back down here! A girl who aims to reach the pinnacle of the Star Alliance is not that weak! Hmph! Go, Le Xiaolian!"

Finally arrived at the classroom! The journey from the dormitory to the classroom should only take a little over ten minutes, but today it felt longer than the lines of latitude and longitude on Earth

The sky outdoors seemed to have裂开了一个大大的缺口, and the rain was falling heavier and heavier

"What’s wrong? Are you unhappy?" Jiang Yiliu saw Jiang Shuliang actually getting angry because of him, and he felt a sense of accomplishment as he curled his lips into a cold smile. "Did I say something wrong?" At this point, a glint of mischief flashed in his eyes, and he slightly lowered his head to lean closer to Jiang Shuliang's ear, his voice filled with a filthy undertone. "Hehehe, you’ve been hanging around with a girl of questionable character all day. Are you trying to follow in your father's footsteps, particularly interested in that kind of lowly commoner girl? She must be very good at seducing men, right? I’d like to give it a try too..." Hehehe, you’ve been hanging around with a girl of questionable character all day. Are you trying to follow in your father's footsteps, particularly interested in that kind of lowly commoner girl? She must be very good at seducing men, right? I’d like to give it a try too..."

"Yi Liu! Go back to your own seat!" Jiang Yi Liu's words made Old Master Jiang's face turn red with anger, and he shouted loudly to stop Jiang Yi Liu

Alas ... ! ... What is this ... ! It turns out that I was followed here just to write her strange articles, and I was moved for quite a while just now ... ... But this is fine! Speaking of which, before high school, I had never been scolded by a teacher, but after entering high school, it feels as if my life has been cursed, having to run to that gloomy black administrative building every few days ... ? ... Having Shen Xuechi accompany me would make me feel a little more at ease, right?

Also flowing!

Jiang Shuo Liu posted a message on the BBS ... ... Hoo Hoo ... ...

Watching this scene, Xiao Yanfeng stuck out his tongue and made a vomiting gesture, then crossed his arms and cast a disdainful glance at Yu Hanyan, letting out a cold snort of utter contempt

It was as if a bolt of lightning had struck on a clear day; Le Xiaolian felt a darkness envelop her eyes, and a wave of chill swept through her body

"Wait!" Wen Zhenhai firmly grasped Xiao Yanfeng's arm and calmly shook his head at him, "At this moment, it is better to let him be alone for a while..."

Who made him have such shameful parents, it would be utterly embarrassing to speak of it

You... you listen to Jiang Shaoliu's indifferent words. Yu Hanyan's face flushed bright red as she walked over and grabbed Jiang Shaoliu's arm, her voice becoming sharp and trembling: "How could you speak to me like this for the sake of a Le Xiaolian! Without the support of my family, do you think your relatives will let you off? Do you know that your position is already precarious and you are about to lose everything!"

Speaking of her "motto" — "to become the best student in the Star Alliance," Le Xiaolian became lively again! She looked up at the poster of Su Youhui on the wall, flexed one arm like a strongman, and her eyes sparkled with determination!

Cut it out, you old hag who is well past your prime, pretending to be innocent and youthful here

Regret and pain pierced his body like two sharp swords. He gritted his teeth in frustration: No...! I must help Xiao Lian, I must turn this around!

What do you mean?" Jiang Shuo furrowed his brows, his gaze emanating signals of irritation and danger.

The sound of rustling or flowing water

According to reports, Jiang Shuo Liu intends to use this incident to issue a warning to all those who wish to provoke him

Stop! You bunch of rascals! All of you, stop! Stop...

sx

A fist that had long been on the verge of shattering came crashing down heavily on Jiang Yiliu's face, instantly knocking him to the ground as he clutched his face and cried out in pain

You have never shown anger in front of them, do you know? I have never seen Jiang Shuo Liu in such a disheveled state! Is all of this... is all of this really for that girl from Deya? I can hardly believe it! Yu Hanyan frowned in sadness, as if trying to remind herself, shaking her head vigorously, "For him, you are willing to go against your entire family..."

An elderly man with a head full of silver hair sits majestically at the top. He appears to be around eighty years old, yet his eyes remain as bright and spirited as those of a strong man. His white hair and beard are as meticulously groomed and tidy as his slate-gray suit and tie.

Seeing Shen Xuechi's figure walking away on her own, Le Xiaolian shook her head helplessly and quickly followed after her

The mysterious appearance of the righteous person reveals the mastermind behind the audio confession

Amidst the cold laughter of the boy in the white suit, the golden doors of the restaurant slowly swung open. Soon, a boy dressed in a white shirt and holding a star high school uniform appeared before everyone. In that instant, it seemed as though the light from the restaurant's crystal chandelier was drawn to him, making him appear radiant and dazzling!

This is completely over

From now on, you are not allowed to participate in the tower assault However, Director Ma's voice sounded like a thick piece of Arctic ice, cold with no possibility of melting

"Xiao Lian, Jiang Shuo Liu has made it very clear that he wants to give you a warning and a lesson. And his purpose has already been achieved." Han Qiuyue's usually clear and calm gaze unexpectedly revealed a hint of anger and hatred, "Admitting this matter would enhance his undeniable authority in front of everyone... As for the consequences he needs to bear, what kind of consequences does a person like him need to face?"

There is a new post on the forum! Jiang Shuo Liu - Jiang Shuo Liu he ... ...

Xiao Lian, how about this... today I will help you take a leave of absence, you can rest in the dormitory...

Feeling that Xiao Yan Feng wanted to stand up and make a name for himself, Wen Zhenhai blocked his fist with one hand, signaling him to calm down with his eyes, and then looked at Jiang Shuo Liu with even more concern

The black marble desk facing the main entrance is exceptionally spacious, and a tall, slender figure sits behind it. Upon hearing a sound, the figure leisurely turns around, and with a rustling sound, a large paper folding fan slowly unfolds, gently waving to obscure most of the figure's face.

Hmph! Originally, your uncle intended to lock you in the basement, but now, for the sake of Young Master Wen, he will hand you over to him for supervision! You little brat, consider yourself lucky!

"All of you, step aside!" Suddenly, a voice caused all the fists to come to an abrupt halt in mid-air

Le Xiaolian slowly turned his head. When he saw Jiang Shouliang's eternally smiling face, vibrant like a sunflower, his heart seemed to suddenly plunge from a cliff into an abyss, enveloped in an impenetrable darkness. After a long while, he barely managed to squeeze out two words from his throat

However, senior, this woman almost caused you harm

"Father, this is truly unfair of you," a woman dressed in a sapphire blue satin gown joined the protest. "Although Liu has always been restless since childhood, ever since you decided to make him the future heir of the Jiang family, his words and actions have become even more reckless! If this continues, he will bring disgrace to the Jiang family!"

Upon hearing Shen Xuechi's words, Le Xiaolian was taken aback, and then she looked at her with wide eyes, filled with both surprise and joy

Fool, wait a moment

The words of the cold autumn night resonated with a powerful explosive force, echoing in Le Xiaolian's ears for a long time. A tremendous anger swiftly spread through her limbs and bones, fueled by blood that was nearly boiling.

It is a misfortune for the family, how embarrassing!

Indeed, Father. The audio has revealed the girl's confession! Our Jiang family's heir has caused such a shameless scandal! How dare they stand us up, it is too much!

Alright, alright, let's hurry and leave, we shouldn't provoke the senior any further

All of this is thanks to you

Grandfather, I am sorry. I was late due to some unexpected matters. Listening to those aggressive "complaints," Jiang Shuo Liu remained indifferent, not even glancing at them. His apologetic gaze was solely directed at his grandfather, whose expression was somewhat awkward.

I will go with you. Shen Xuechi raised her head and looked at Le Xiaolian with a blank expression

Hey! You little rascal...

Have you heard about that matter? The gaze of the cold autumn night remains so gentle, and he has not let go of Le Xiaolian's hand.

It is probably all just for show, mostly to entice Han Qiuyue to study Zhang, how lowbrow...

Completed

I have nothing much to say, are you here today as well?" Jiang Shuo smiled gently, reaching out to lightly stroke Yu Hanyan's head

"Le Xiaolian, you are such a jinx! Offending Jiang Sholiu is your own affair, but no matter what, it must not tarnish the reputation of our Blue Rose King"

Liu, where are you going? Your injury..." Yu Hanyan stood under the eaves at the door, looking at Jiang Sholiu, who was drenched to the skin, yet she did not dare to approach him and could only clench her fists and ask with concern.

Jiang Shao turned his head and calmly looked at the somewhat angry Yu Hanyan: "Do as you please!"

Having spoken, she turned around as if she would never want to stay with him for another second, running far away without looking back.

I never expected her to be such a person; I originally thought she had a good personality and was easy to get along with

Flow is mine, we have been together since childhood, and we will be together in the future! Therefore, anyone who wants to compete with me for Flow, I will not let go of them!

I originally thought you were merely fond of unrealistic fantasies and that your behavior was somewhat deviant! However, it now appears that your character is also quite problematic!" Director Ma became increasingly agitated as she spoke, angrily pushing up her glasses that had slipped down due to her fury. Her nostrils flared as if she were about to breathe fire. "Classmate Han Qiuyue is the most outstanding student at our Deya High School, the president of the student council, and a role model for all students at Deya High School! And you, how could you involve Classmate Han Qiuyue in such a trivial incident?" Classmate Han Qiuyue is the most outstanding student at our Deya High School, the president of the student council, and a role model for all students at Deya High School! And you, how could you involve Classmate Han Qiuyue in such a trivial incident?!"

Xiao Yanfeng looked at Jiang Shuli with some concern, then glanced at the other members of the Jiang family, and finally anxiously turned to Wen Zhenhai, desperately tugging at his hair in frustration. However, he received no hints; Wen Zhenhai remained silent, sipping his tea, though his eyes betrayed an undeniable worry. Jiang Shuli quietly listened to the protests of his relatives, and with a calm demeanor, he gently smiled.

Le Xiaolian took a deep breath, resembling a valiant warrior, akin to a soldier challenging the enemy leader deep within the enemy ranks. With her head held high and chest out, she strode through the furious storm of her classmates' anger, heading straight towards the teaching building

The sound of rustling or flowing water

From now on, I do not want a friend like you! I do not want to see you again

Thinking of this, Le Xiaolian felt a bit gloomy as she scratched her head and then turned to walk towards the classroom door

Is this matter related to Jiang Sholiu

Upon hearing the words of Old Master Jiang, Jiang Shuo Liu raised his head and glanced around the dining table, noticing that his uncles, aunts, and cousins were all staring at him with disdainful expressions, while several of his cousins did not bother to hide their glee at his misfortune
