Chapter 39 -39 The Suffocation that Cost a Life

He couldn’t possibly come without telling a little lie.

Jiang Zhe tossed the gum container to him, “Have two pieces. I’ll take you home.”

Jiang Yunxuan chewed the gum and said, “The driver will come to pick me up soon.”

“So?” Jiang Zhe asked.

Jiang Yunxuan knew she was asking what else he wanted to meet her for.

Actually, Jiang Yunxuan really had nothing else, he just missed Jiang Zhe.

He still hadn’t been able to accept the reality that had arisen from that incident.

He just wanted to see her so badly he was going crazy.

Jiang Zhe touched the top of his head, “Study hard.”

“No, I really do have something for you.” Jiang Yunxuan remembered something and handed Jiang Zhe an envelope.

Jiang Zhe received it, and immediately by the touch, she could tell it was money.

Jiang Yunxuan’s pocket money.

He had a card, with all his pocket money on it, and the Jiang family, who had him late in life, loved him dearly, so he never lacked pocket money.

Probably because giving the card directly might be inconvenient, Jiang Yunxuan converted it to cash for her.

“Sister will be going to college soon anyway and will be able to earn money. You can pay me back then. Also, you’ll have to buy me snacks as interest,” Jiang Yunxuan blurted out a bunch of harsh words, fearing she wouldn’t accept it.

Jiang Zhe laughed, “What if I don’t need it?”

“If you don’t need it, just keep it for me.” Jiang Yunxuan had heard the housekeeper mention that the family his sister had returned to was very poor, and he didn’t know if they would give her living expenses.

He had made a scene and played stubborn to get his mother to take his sister back home, but his mother had brushed it off.

There was nothing else he could do.

Jiang Zhe put away the envelope, “Alright, I’ll take it as a loan from you.”

Jiang Yunxuan’s smile split wide open.

Jiang Zhe actually had something for him as well, taking out several bottles of snow fungus preserves that Xi Ruo had made for her, “This snack, consider it the interest for this period.”

“Great!” Jiang Yunxuan accepted them and carefully placed them in the innermost part of his backpack.

“I’m leaving.” Jiang Zhe slung her backpack over her shoulder and left nonchalantly.

Jiang Yunxuan hung his head low, looking dejected.

It was not until his phone watch rang, and Jiang Zhe’s voice came through, “Call me anytime if you need anything,”

that he lifted his head, looking toward the place where no one was to be seen, and smiled brilliantly.

Today, Jiang Fanyue finished school early and came to pick up Jiang Yunxuan with the driver. From afar, she saw Jiang Zhe’s retreating figure.

Jiang Fanyue clenched her palm.

The driver muttered, “That seemed to be the young miss.”

After speaking, he remembered that there was now only one young miss at home, the one and only young miss, and he stopped talking.

Fortunately, Jiang Fanyue probably didn’t hear it.

After Jiang Zhe left, she glanced at the money Jiang Yunxuan had given her, a total of eighty thousand.

She thought about it and decided to put the money into an investment, considering it as an investment made by Jiang Yunxuan.

…

This piano competition was the quinquennial Jincheng Cup Youth Piano Competition, and the participants were middle and high school students aged thirteen to eighteen.

The venue was located at No. 1 Middle School and was the grand event of Jincheng that took place every four years.

The competition was highly prestigious, and every year many professional masters or music academy teachers would come here to scout for talent.

Those selected had a high likelihood of bypassing the middle and high school entrance exams to enter larger and better specialized schools for further studies and to step into broader horizons.

And if someone could be chosen by a teacher with extensive connections in Beijing, it would be an incredible leap.

Master Yue was the most experienced and the most watched among all the teachers.

“Master Yue is here!”

No one knew who said it first, but immediately people started looking this way.

Master Yue, in his early fifties, was the pride of the piano community in the Dragon Emperor Country, a celebrity and a benchmark within the industry. If one were selected by him, not only could they reach the skies in a single step, but their entire family could also take off.

Many eyes immediately turned to Master Yue.

However, in the face of Master Yue’s presence, many who wanted to make an impression were too embarrassed to approach him for small talk without good reason.

Moreover, Master Yue was a judge tonight, which made it even less appropriate to approach him without cause.

Upon hearing the exclamation, Jiang Fanyue immediately walked over with a smile and greeted him, “Master Yue.”

“Fanyue,” Master Yue’s face became approachable, “It’s your competition today; I came especially to watch.”

“Thank you, Master Yue,” Jiang Fanyue said with a smile. “I’ve reserved a VIP box seat for you here, quiet and undisturbed.”

She led Master Yue over, and many couldn’t help but look on with envy.

Everyone knew that Jiang Fanyue was exceptionally talented, and she played the piano superbly.

But no one had expected her to have such a close personal relationship with Master Yue.

It seemed that heaven favored her too easily.

Jiang Fanyue chatted with Master Yue for a few more sentences before getting up to excuse herself.

She had other matters to attend to.

Gu Jiaheng had introduced her to a friend who played the piano, a girl also in her senior year who had come to compete today. The girl was from a different school, and her name was Lin Xue.

Lin Xue originally debuted in a girl group, and though she was very young at the time and had gained a fair amount of popularity, having grown up in front of everyone, her company still had very high academic expectations for her.

However, given her busy schedule, maintaining her studies was definitely a challenge, but luckily, she was good at the piano. She wanted to compete to secure a spot at the music academy as early as possible.

Jiang Fanyue, naturally, took great interest in Lin Xue.

After seeing to Master Yue, she went out to meet Lin Xue.

Tan Lu and Zhang Xi followed close behind her, sharing in the glory.

Liang Jinlan and Jiang Zhang attended to friends they had invited, standing to one side.

Today was Jiang Fanyue’s big day, and barring any surprises, Master Yue would announce after the competition that he would take Jiang Fanyue as his apprentice. To witness this occasion, they naturally did not hesitate to call friends to bear witness.

The Gu Family was naturally among the invited.

Among the invited guests was a couple surnamed Jiang.

Xiao Meng’s former foster parents.

…

Jiang Zhe accompanied Xiao Meng as she changed her outfit.

They were wearing the attire they had ordered just a couple of days ago.

Jiang Zhe effortlessly applied a light stage makeup for Xiao Meng.

When she returned the makeup to Lou Qiaoyin, Lou Qiaoyin looked at the clothes Jiang Zhe was wearing, surprised for a while before accepting the makeup.

Jiang Zhe and Xiao Meng stepped out together and waited at the school gate for Qin Jingchen and Fen Ye.

A moment later, the Lincoln arrived at the school gate.

Qin Jingchen’s gaze fell on the school gate, and seeing Jiang Zhe in her changed outfit, his eyes lit up with a fervent glow before turning into a restrained undercurrent.

This white dress, seemingly unaltered in its simplicity, suited Jiang Zhe perfectly.

At her standing place, all else paled in comparison.

Vixen and Jiang Daji, Qin Jingchen always thought these were neutral terms, but to describe Jiang Zhe, they were too pale and weak.

But now he suddenly couldn’t find a more forceful adjective.

His Adam’s apple moved slightly, the sensation of being suffocated, as though his life was at stake, washing over him.
