CHAPTER 60: CHAPTER 57: UNFORGETTABLE TEACHER’S KINDNESS

The book says that after Jiang Zhenzhu learned about her true identity, she immediately went to the city, crying out about the Old Jiang Family’s abuse. She also desperately wanted to meet her biological parents, so she was willing to bear the stigma and seek them out.

Unexpectedly, the moment her biological mother saw her face, she was convinced that she was her real daughter, so it was only natural to keep her. As for what happened later...

Three months later, the true daughter Jiang Zhenzhu replaced the original owner to marry Cui Mingshi, and the Cui Family arranged a job for her, working in the same unit as Cui Mingshi, doing clerical work.

This Miss Zhenzhu knew well how to win people over, and the first person she won over was Cui Mingshi’s childhood friend, Xue Zongsheng.

Xue Zongsheng later became extremely ingratiating towards Jiang Zhenzhu, even scheming for her behind Cui Mingshi’s back.

This allowed Jiang Zhenzhu’s network to grow more extensive and laid a solid foundation for her later entrepreneurial ventures.

All these connections later turned into her most invisible wealth, propelling her to become an exemplary entrepreneur frequently praised by official media, making her a role model for young people.

It can be said that Xue Zongsheng contributed significantly to Jiang Zhenzhu’s great achievements.

Since the two are so intertwined, could there be something else? Could it be that they knew each other long before?

Don’t blame Jiang Mingyue for thinking this way; it’s just that this pearl is very good at maneuvering and using people.

Ning Yan, Jiang Zhenzhu’s childhood friend, was not just her accomplice? Various schemes, in three years, calculated the original owner’s life away.

Compared to the life Ning Yan owed, Xue Zongsheng framing her was but a small matter.

Wait, that’s not right! The two met after Jiang Zhenzhu was identified as the true daughter of the Jiang Family.

If Jiang Zhenzhu had known about her identity years ago, with her ambition to cling to power, it’s impossible she would have waited until now to return and acknowledge her family.

Then what exactly was it for?

Could it be that Xue Zongsheng also liked Cui Mingshi? So he couldn’t stand this romantic rival?

Jiang Mingyue almost bit her tongue for such a bold guess.

Wait!

Jiang Mingyue suddenly remembered that Xu Ya seemed to have mentioned a few years ago, Xue Zongsheng had a sister. Could it be he wanted to marry his sister to Cui Mingshi?

Jiang Mingyue tapped her bicycle handle, thinking: Right! That must be the reason! Look how smart she is.

Xue Family’s sister fancied the childhood friend. As the brother, Xue Zongsheng thought it was not bad, so he wanted to pave the way for his sister, and first had to break that arranged marriage. To do so, he had to find a reason. A future daughter-in-law who steals, the Cui Family would certainly not want that anymore.

Jiang Mingyue reasonably speculated, but what the truth was, still needed to be seen.

"Huh?" Why is the school so lively early in the morning?

Jiang Mingyue’s heart sank as she saw big character posters plastered all over the school.

Maybe it was too chaotic, the previously guarded gates were now deserted.

Jiang Mingyue rode her bicycle quickly inside, seeing from afar a group of students gathered around something, occasionally getting agitated and even spitting inside, throwing branches they could find around campus.

Jiang Mingyue hurriedly parked her bike behind a flower platform, wanting to go close to see, but was afraid her bike might be stolen, so she decided to throw her bike in an empty spot, carrying only her basket out.

She asked two girl students, "Classmates, may I ask what’s happening? I rushed here from the countryside to deliver things to my brother but couldn’t find him, don’t know if this..."

Girls usually have soft hearts, especially seeing she’s not much older than them, carrying a basket with a bent lower back, and having rushed from far away in the countryside, the two girls hastened to help, pulling and lifting her to the side of the flower platform, "Sister, you can rest your basket on the flower platform here, it’s easier. Over there, you shouldn’t go."

The girl in the blue dress lowered her voice, explained: "The school suspended classes three days ago, didn’t say the reason but took away several teachers from here. The person surrounded now is our headteacher, Mr. Yang; someone reported he was messing around with women, and they plan to publicly shame him this afternoon." At this point, the blue dress girl and the yellow shirt girl fell silent.

They just couldn’t understand, how such a good person like Mr. Yang could suffer such hardship, and they never heard of Mr. Yang being involved with any woman, these people just fabricate things, key is there’s a portion of confused people following, some are even Mr. Yang’s students, which breaks the heart so much.

Jiang Mingyue was about to comfort them a few words, but suddenly she saw someone lift a brick, Jiang Mingyue was so scared that she released her spiritual power without a second thought, the brick that man intended to throw suddenly slipped from his wrist, fell straight on his forehead, and then hit his foot heavily, causing him to clutch his head, jump on one foot, and curse his mother crying.

The two silent girls now had a smile, cheering quietly and applauding.

Blue dress: "He’s a logistics teacher, named Zheng Gang."

Yellow shirt: "No mention before about him having a grudge with Mr. Yang."

Blue dress: "He’s in charge of purchasing teaching aids. Works with another logistics Mr. Zheng."

Both surnamed Zheng?

Jiang Mingyue instinctively thought of Jiang Zhenzhu’s close friend, Zheng Honglian.

Jiang Mingyue released her spiritual power again, this time probed into this person’s memory and consciousness.

As expected!

This person is Zheng Honglian’s father.

Zheng Gang and his wife, Yuan Qingqing, have two sons and a daughter, this one daughter being the second child, Zheng Honglian.

The Zheng Family favored males over females, Zheng Honglian never got any attention at home until she clung onto Jiang Zhenzhu.

When Jiang Zhenzhu first entered the city, she needed to quickly integrate into the circle of city folks, but having lived in the countryside since childhood, her dark skin was a huge disadvantage, peers didn’t value her much, naturally didn’t want to befriend her, only this Zheng Honglian seized the opportunity to become Jiang Zhenzhu’s little follower actively.

Isn’t it so? Not even graduated primary school, she got Jiang Zhenzhu urging Xu Ya to pull strings to find this logistics temporary worker job for her.

A week ago, Zheng Honglian confessed to Mr. Yang but got rejected, being petty harbored resentment, happened to witness Yang Jinglun appearing close to a girl, in anger wrote a report letter to the authorities.

As for why Zheng Gang was smashing Mr. Yang, it was not to vent for his daughter, but because Mr. Yang discovered his embezzlement, about to report to the school leaders, the incident happened just right, Zheng Gang wanted to take advantage of the chaos to solve the person saving trouble, what he did would then be buried in the sea, known to no one.

This couldn’t be tolerated!

"Sister, what are you going to do?" The two girls saw her dropping her basket, rushing with killing intent into the crowd, scared and rushed to hug her.

"Sister, it’s no use, don’t go."

But Jiang Mingyue didn’t explain, squeezing into the crowd alone.

"Make way."

When she squeezed in to see Mr. Yang’s condition, even her pupils shook, her heart pinched painfully.

Who would have thought the previously elegant man in black trousers and white shirt would now be in such a state?

Not to mention the dirty and tattered clothes, the exposed skin was all scarred, not a single spot intact, even the eyebrows hung with dried egg liquid.

Jiang Mingyue’s heart, oh how she wished to string up these fools and beat them all once.

She jumped directly onto a nearby high platform.

"Classmates, it’s wrong, it’s wrong! We’ve wronged a good person!"

All eyes "swish" turned to focus on her.
