Chapter 153: Chapter 140: Jiang Sifan is Furious! Head-on Confrontation

"Silly girl, sometimes learning to say no is a necessary part of life," Lu Fan replied. "For example, if you don’t want your dad to come see you, you can just tell me. You can’t wrong yourself just to be considerate of others, you understand?"

After hearing this, Jiang Silu finally made up her mind.

She nodded and said, "Okay, I’ll make things clear with her brother tonight."

"That’s more like it," Lu Fan said with a smile.

Seeing that it was getting late, he drove Jiang Silu back to her dorm.

As Jiang Silu got out of the car, she took the initiative to wave at Lu Fan. "Bye-bye~"

"Bye-bye."

Only after the car had driven away did Jiang Silu bravely say the name she longed to use. "Bye-bye, Dad..."

Although the two of them could now talk face-to-face, Jiang Silu still didn’t dare to call him "Dad" to his face.

She was also waiting for feedback from her mother’s side.

If her mother still acted like she could never forgive him, Jiang Silu couldn’t just ignore her mother’s feelings and continue to get closer to her father.

After all, it was her mother who had raised her for eighteen years, not a father she had just met.

’I wonder how Mom and Dad’s relationship is progressing...’

She returned to her dorm, carrying the small cake.

When Lu Yao saw the cake and juice, she cried out in excitement, "Oh my god, this is amazing! I was dying for some."

Song Miaomiao also swallowed hard.

Although she wasn’t as boisterous as Lu Yao, after having tasted the cake made by Lu Fan’s chef, she truly had no interest in pastries from anywhere else.

Jiang Silu said with a smile, "Then help yourselves to more~"

Just then, Liu Shiting came in from the balcony.

Jiang Silu first said to Liu Shiting, "Shiting, there’s cake~"

"Okay, thanks, Lulu," Liu Shiting replied gratefully.

Then, Jiang Silu hesitated for a moment before saying to her, "Shiting, if I told you I’m not really interested in your brother, would you be mad at me?"

Hearing this, Liu Shiting immediately smiled and shook her head. "Of course not. Actually, I guessed a while ago that you weren’t interested in my brother. You were just humoring him out of respect for me. It’s really no big deal. I know what my brother’s like."

"Shiting, I’m so happy you said that." Jiang Silu hugged Liu Shiting and said pitifully, "I was so afraid our friendship would be ruined because of me and your brother."

"Don’t be so silly!~ We’re best friends," Liu Shiting comforted her, then casually added, "My brother isn’t as handsome as yours, you know. Maybe I have a better chance of getting with your brother than you do with mine!~"

"Haha, I’d love to see that," Jiang Silu laughed.

Seeing that she had achieved her goal, Liu Shiting linked arms with her and they walked over to where the cake was.

The four friends began to dig into the cake, laughing and chatting as they ate.

"Lulu, I’m so jealous of you, having a dad who’s so rich and cares about you so much."

"Can you ask your dad if he’s looking for another daughter? I could be his goddaughter."

Lu Yao rambled on as she ate. 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦

Her comments made everyone else laugh.

...

The controversy over Jiang Silu’s design project had more or less come to an end.

All that was left was to quietly wait for the date of the project review and the announcement of the winners.

Jiang Sifan, on the other hand, was extremely frustrated.

For the next two days, he heard nothing from the Dual Innovation Department.

By the third day, he couldn’t take it anymore.

The moment class ended, he headed straight for the Dual Innovation Department office.

As it happened, Xu Junjie was on duty that day.

When Jiang Sifan walked in, he saw the guy once again glued to his phone, sweet-talking someone.

"Anan, I miss you so, so much," Xu Junjie cooed, spouting some cheesy line.

Jiang Sifan frowned. ’The last time I was here,’ he thought, ’the guy was talking to a ’Qingqing’. Now it’s ’Anan’.

’What the hell? How many girlfriends does this guy have? Or maybe they aren’t girlfriends at all, just friends with benefits.’

Jiang Sifan didn’t care whether they were his girlfriends or not. All he wanted to know right now was whether his startup application had been submitted.

He sat down in front of Xu Junjie and asked directly, "Minister Xu, has my application been submitted? Has the professor approved it yet?"

Xu Junjie just waved his hand dismissively.

Jiang Sifan didn’t want to wait. He spoke up again, "Minister Xu, just give me a straight answer. Has my startup application been submitted or not?"

Xu Junjie shot him an annoyed look, then turned and went into another room, clearly not wanting to deal with him.

Jiang Sifan was getting angry and wanted to go argue with him.

But he accidentally kicked the trash can next to him.

It promptly fell over with a crash.

Although Jiang Sifan was furious, he was still a decent person, so he squatted down to put the trash back into the bin.

But as Jiang Sifan picked up a crumpled piece of paper, he was surprised to see his own name.

He smoothed it out and stared—it was his startup application form!!

Rage instantly burned through Jiang Sifan.

He slammed his hand on the desk and roared, "Xu Junjie, get out here!!"
