Jiaojiao, You Don't Want To... [Yandere Reverse Harem Novel]

Chapter 13 (2/2)

"I found it here!" A voice filled with excitement rang out.

The sound of splashing water continued as several people climbed over the edge of the fountain, pulling at their wet pants as they stepped out of the flower bed. They trampled a few flowers, wilting them. A figure stood a few steps away.

Under the glow of the street lamp, Pei Ye leaned against the lamppost, looking down at his phone, the silver ornaments around his ears flashing with light. Behind him, a burly bodyguard held an umbrella over him. Fine rain fell on the umbrella, creating a soft tapping sound.

"Young Master, we found it." Several bodyguards hurried to his side, one of them wiping the box with a handkerchief and handing it to him.

Only then did Pei Ye look up, straightening his posture, and reaching out to take the box. But as soon as he held it in his hand, a car horn blared from somewhere nearby. He instinctively put the box in his pocket and looked over in annoyance, but he saw a car driving slowly down the path in the distance.

The car stopped slowly in front of Pei Ye, and the window rolled down.

Pei Ye looked over and saw Jiang Yuancheng in the passenger seat. He was wearing a suit and holding a file, his gray eyes filled with inquiry.

"Why are you still here?" Jiang Yuancheng frowned, then looked around at the people surrounding Pei Ye. "And so many people too." His gaze fell on their pants, then back to Pei Ye, a faint smile appearing on his face.

"I didn't get my medical report. I happened to be passing by, so I came to pick it up." Pei Ye glanced at the bodyguards, scoffing, "It's not like they can't see where they're going. They tripped and fell, scattering everything everywhere. Of course, I have to supervise them to pick it all up page by page."

As soon as Pei Ye finished speaking, he realized he had said something incredibly stupid. But Jiang Yuancheng didn't seem suspicious. He just nodded, with a kind of elder brotherly air, "It's cold with the rain. It doesn't matter when you get the report. Don't catch a cold and delay your competition."

"Alright, stop nagging. Don't say any more." Pei Ye mumbled in response, immediately squinting at Jiang Yuancheng, "What about you? You're always so busy. How come you only have time to leave the hospital now?"

"I had a meeting nearby. I came back from the meeting and stopped by to pick it up. It seems like this hospital is in a great location, convenient for all of us." Jiang Yuancheng waved the file in his hand, then smiled, "Well, I'm off then. Take your time... supervising."

Pei Ye hadn't even reacted to the many subtle hints in Jiang Yuancheng's words when he saw the car window slowly roll up. Jiang Yuancheng seemed tired, placing the file on the dashboard. It was then that Pei Ye noticed a delicate race car model on the dashboard. But before he could confirm it, the window was completely closed, blocking his view!

The car slowly drove away, and Pei Ye immediately took the box out of his pocket and opened it, only to find it empty. His damp white hair stuck to his forehead, and under his messy hair, his black eyes were dark and his mouth slightly open, like a stunned shark.

The next second, Pei Ye slammed the box to the ground, looking at the car in the distance and clenching his fist.

Jiang Yuancheng! You bastard, you dare to play me!

Inside the car, Jiang Yuancheng turned his gaze away from the rearview mirror, tugging at his lips, then picked up the model car on the dashboard and threw it into the storage compartment. Out of sight, out of mind. Jiang Yuancheng thought for a moment, then took out his phone and sent a message.

"Buzz buzz buzz..." The phone vibrated in the middle of the night, waking Wen Zhijiao. She rubbed her eyes sleepily and opened her phone, only to see a message.

[Jiang Yuancheng: Stay away from Pei Ye.]

Wen Zhijiao: "..."

She looked at the time the message was sent. Ten o'clock. Damn it, she wanted to kill Jiang Yuancheng! She had finally fallen asleep so early!

*As the engagement plan was moved forward, many things were forced to move forward as well, such as Jiang Yuancheng's aunt, Jiang Qingshuang, who had to rush to catch a plane. Jiang Yuancheng's parents were financial tycoons who were always on the move, flying here and there. They rarely saw Jiang Yuancheng, even for a few days, throughout the year. Before high school, Jiang Yuancheng lived abroad and was raised by servants and housekeepers. Later, Jiang Qingshuang couldn't stand it anymore and brought Jiang Yuancheng back to China to take care of him. Over the years, Jiang Qingshuang has been Jiang Yuancheng's true guardian. Like this engagement, Jiang Yuancheng even only invited Jiang Qingshuang. While Jiang Qingshuang was touched by this, she wasn't exactly happy. The reason was simple: she didn't like Wen Zhijiao. It wasn't about social status, she just simply thought they weren't a good match. She couldn't help but sigh as she sat in her seat.

"Don't sigh, you're making our Jiang lady look bad." A cheerful voice rang out.

Jiang Qingshuang looked over and saw a young man sitting beside her, relaxed and smiling. The young man had handsome features, bright eyes, and a simple shirt and black pants that highlighted his excellent physique. Although he was smiling, his elegance and composure were undeniable. He didn't even look at Jiang Qingshuang as he spoke, his eyes fixed on the tablet, his fingers never stopping. The first-class cabin of this airline offered internet access. She was about to say something about how addicted he was to electronic devices, but then she saw that the tablet displayed a test paper. The last subjective question on the paper had a line of words scrawled across it.

[Professor Jiang, I love you, please give me a passing grade.] ()

Jiang Qingshuang crossed her arms and stared at Jiang Linchen, "So many girls like you?"

"Of course, who wouldn't fall for your son, who's in his prime, kind to everyone, and never makes things difficult for his students?" Jiang Linchen smiled, skillfully marking a 0 on the paper with his stylus. Then he took a screenshot and submitted it to the teaching office, adding a very sarcastic comment, "Please have the student's counselor talk to them."

Jiang Qingshuang laughed, "That's not making things difficult?"

Jiang Linchen closed the tablet, rubbing his eyes as he smiled, "That's called teaching according to the student's abilities."

Jiang Qingshuang had always known her son's nature. Jiang Linchen had been a genius since he was a child, skipping grades all the way through school. He earned a doctorate from a prestigious university abroad and then returned to China to join the Institute of Astrophysics under the Chinese Academy of Sciences. Perhaps because he was too smart and his life was too smooth, he had some quirks. His quirk was that he was mean and sarcastic. Thinking about this, she felt a little worried. While she wasn't happy with Jiang Yuancheng's marriage, at least their relationship seemed stable. What about her own son?

Before, Jiang Qingshuang had never worried about Jiang Linchen's marriage. She thought, "There are no ugly people in the Jiang family. Jiang Linchen's face is so good-looking, it would be a hit in the entertainment industry. He has a good family, a good brain, is tall and handsome, and is six feet tall. How could such a good guy lack admirers?" But he was still single at twenty-six. At the beginning of the year, she forced Jiang Linchen to go on blind dates, but halfway through the date, the girl got married and called to scold her for being too much. She asked what happened, and it turned out that Jiang Linchen went on the date and started showing off his masculine charm, giving the girl a set of questions to test her. He asked her how much the water level would rise if her father and he fell into the water, which made the girl angry and she left.

Jiang Linchen, who had sharp eyes, saw that Jiang Qingshuang was starting to think, and immediately said, "Don't ask. I know my younger brother is successful, with a wife and a career. I'm not good enough. I deserve to die. I've made the family lose a son..."

"Slap!" Jiang Qingshuang slapped Jiang Linchen's hand hard, "Shut your mouth! You're not in a hurry, are you? Just wait until the wedding in a couple of days. You'll see how happy Yuancheng is and you'll be jealous."

"Didn't you say a few days ago that Yuancheng is good in every way, but he just... " Jiang Linchen thought for a moment, imitating her tone, "He just married someone... who's spoiled, timid, cowardly, and can't take care of herself."

"You're the only one with a mouth." Jiang Qingshuang laughed angrily, then said, "Just because I think they're not a good match doesn't mean they're not happy. When we get off the plane, you better keep your mouth shut."

Jiang Linchen laughed, his eyebrows relaxing, "I know. I'll just take a look at my sister-in-law to see how beautiful she is. I've mentioned wanting to meet her a few times, but Yuancheng never agreed. I'm curious, what kind of treasure is he hiding in his golden house? Is it a kappa or a little darling? After all, didn't you say they were together at the summer camp or winter camp and they..."

"Where did you learn those vulgar words? You're so rude." Jiang Qingshuang glared at him, and he shut up, suppressing the contempt in his voice. Then she continued, "That year when Yuancheng just came back to China, I wanted him to get familiar with the domestic environment. I also thought that the scenery in City C was good, suitable for relaxing, so I sent him to the competition summer camp organized by City C University."

Jiang Linchen knew that famous universities both domestically and internationally liked to do this. Every summer vacation, they would open registration to various high schools and then select a group of outstanding students to participate in competitions at the university. He understood, "Wen Zhijiao was also a competition student?"

"She wasn't." Jiang Qingshuang sighed, "She was taking tutoring classes at a training institution near City C University."

Jiang Linchen was stunned, "What needs to be tutored in high school? Is she taking college courses or something?"

Jiang Qingshuang said, "She's taking tutoring in all subjects. You haven't seen her report card. Let me put it this way, your score would be higher if you stepped on the answer sheet with your foot."

Jiang Linchen: "Mom, don't you think you should bless them?"

Jiang Qingshuang paused, "What?"

"Intelligence is harder to cross than class." Jiang Linchen smiled, his eyes sincere as he pointed to his head, "They've crossed the biggest hurdle."

Jiang Qingshuang was momentarily amused by his sarcasm, shaking her head and speechless.

The flight was short, landing in less than two hours. It was afternoon, and the bright light shone through the glass, illuminating the VIP passageway. There weren't many people in the passageway. Jiang Qingshuang and Jiang Linchen chatted as they walked out of the passageway. Jiang Qingshuang called Jiang Yuancheng, and Jiang Linchen took the opportunity to buy a cup of coffee.

As he turned around, he bumped into someone passing by, spilling coffee all over them.

"Damn it." A surprised curse rang out. Jiang Linchen immediately looked over, about to apologize, but he saw the person in front of him raise a hand and point to his phone. He immediately understood and stepped aside. The person also answered the phone and followed him to the side.

"It's nothing, I didn't see the road and bumped into you." The young man's voice was soft. "My parents and I have already gotten off the plane. When are you coming?"

Jiang Linchen called for a staff member to deal with the situation, while he observed the young man on the phone. The young man had fluffy curly hair, delicate features, a tall figure, and when he smiled on the phone, he looked like those handsome, frivolous, and brainless fashionable guys in magazine spreads. Calling him a kid wasn't meant to be discriminatory, but whenever he saw these twenty-something-year-olds, he couldn't help but think of the stupid and innocent students at school.

The young man must have been talking to his girlfriend on the phone, nodding to him from time to time, but he didn't seem to want to hang up. Jiang Linchen couldn't help but check his watch, feeling a little annoyed. Just as he was about to lose his patience, the young man hung up first, "Don't hang up so quickly, what do you mean wait and we'll meet later? That's not even the same... Hello? Hello?!" He made a frustrated sound into the phone, but his face remained expressionless.

Jiang Linchen finally got to speak, "I'm so sorry about the coffee. I'll pay for it. If you need to change clothes urgently, I'll have someone send you a suitable set right now."

As he finished speaking, he saw the young man wave his hand, "It's okay. I wanted to meet you."

Jiang Linchen raised his eyebrows slightly, "What?"

"Hello, Professor Jiang, my name is Wen Sui." Wen Sui had a bright smile on his face and extended his hand, "I saw you at the summit a few days ago."

Jiang Linchen had indeed been at the business summit a few days ago. The Institute of Astrophysics was considering changing suppliers for some of its equipment, and the summit invited companies that were almost all in the precision instrument manufacturing industry. He couldn't help but look at the fashionable young man in front of him with a sense of meaning, feeling like he had judged him by his appearance. He extended his hand, "Hello, just call me Jiang Linchen."

As Jiang Linchen finished speaking, Wen Sui smiled even wider, "I'm sorry, I wanted to greet you, but I was in a hurry and ended up spilling coffee on you."

The words were cleverly phrased. Jiang Linchen simply said, "No problem, I wasn't paying attention to the road either. It was my fault."

"It's still quite a coincidence to meet. Let's add each other on WeChat. I'm going to be in City C for a while. It would be nice to have tea together sometime." Wen Sui's curly hair swayed as he smiled, making his smile even more cheerful and innocent. "By the way, I've always been interested in astrophysics. Would you be willing to let me be your student, even if it's just for a short time?"

Wow, he looks like a cute puppy with a small brain, but his words are full of the cunning of an old businessman.

Jiang Linchen smiled but said nothing. He just looked at the distance and said, "We'll talk about it later. My family is calling me."

He waved to Jiang Qingshuang, who was walking towards him, but he also saw a couple of men and women beside her waving at him.

Jiang Linchen raised an eyebrow and looked at Wen Sui. Sure enough, Wen Sui was smiling and waving at them. A few seconds later, Wen Sui looked at him and said, "What a coincidence, Professor Jiang. It seems like you're... the very intelligent brother of my sister's fiancé."

Wen Sui's smile grew even wider, and the coffee stain on his white shirt seemed like a fashionable pattern because of his smile.

Inside the airport, Wen Zhijiao squatted in the restroom, tears streaming down her face as she looked at the Master, "Master, do I really have to go through this plot? But I think it's so strange."

The Master looked at the contents of the notebook, her face serious, "That's right, the system is generated like this. No matter how much you try to escape, you have to face it."

Wen Zhijiao's tears hung on her eyelashes. She grabbed the notebook and read it again.

[Inside the airport, the two families finally meet. Wen Zhijiao's brother is spoiled and arrogant, taking the opportunity to provoke Jiang Linchen, while also criticizing the Jiang family members for being difficult to deal with. Jiang Qingshuang has been unhappy with Wen Zhijiao for a long time and quietly advises Jiang Yuancheng to think carefully. Wen Sui hears this and immediately tells Wen Zhijiao. Upon hearing this, Wen Zhijiao cries her eyes out. After returning to the Jiang family, she personally cooks a meal, and her parents are touched by her efforts and try to please Jiang Qingshuang and Jiang Linchen, but they only receive cold shoulders. The Jiang family doesn't touch a single bite of the food she cooked that day. With only a few days left until the engagement ceremony, Wen Zhijiao wants to endure all of this, but on the eve of the engagement ceremony, after another provocation, Wen Zhijiao finally breaks down and rushes to Jiang Linchen's room to argue with him. However, Jiang Qingshuang notices this and immediately informs Jiang Yuancheng and the Wen family. When both families arrive at the scene, Jiang Linchen and Wen Zhijiao are arguing and fall down, embracing each other. But at this moment, the sky is starting to get cold, and the engagement ceremony is about to begin. Jiang Yuancheng decides to continue with the engagement ceremony. Wen Zhijiao is dazedly arranged for her engagement. Taking advantage of the maid's absence, she resolutely tears her dress and decides to run away. But at this moment, Jiang Yuancheng notices everything and immediately drives to chase after her. Unexpectedly, the car skids [Expand]]

Wen Zhijiao sniffed, pointing at the notebook, and whispered, "But how can I fall into Jiang Linchen's arms and kiss him? That plot is so cheesy. I don't want to act, I don't want to kiss a strange man's mouth, what if he's ugly?"

The Master became even more exasperated, "Just wait for me to arrange it when the time comes!"
