High School Belle Fell in Love with Me-Chapter 354 - 176: They’re Used to Bullying Others (Double-Length)
"Hmm."
Liu Ruyi was deeply touched today. Li Yang had said such things to help Jiang Banxia save face.
Those words were something no one else could even utter.
Being Li Yang’s girlfriend is undoubtedly blissful, but there’s only one Li Yang in the world, and everyone walks a different path.
"So, can you stop having any illusions? Go ask for the money!"
"No! I’ll wait six months! Let me give myself an explanation."
Xiangnu felt helpless and could only sigh.
Among this group of sisters, only Song Yu had somewhat realized that following Li Yang around, even if the business didn’t make much money, it was doing well enough, and she was slowly gaining management skills.
Most of the rules were set by Li Yang, after all.
But the others remained the same, even if they’d made a lot of money this time.
Xiumu started taking her sisters to spend money on jewelry, bragging about spending several million today and ordering something worth tens of millions.
Unlike them, Liu Ruyi didn’t waste money frivolously, but his obsession with love remained unchanged.
It’s a pity for Wanliu Capital, without Jiang Banxia, it’s just a mess, with no reason to exist.
Even for her, there’s hardly anything to do now except try to acquire Mouyu.
The progress is going well, in a couple of days they’ll put the last pressure on Chen Jie; if he doesn’t hand over the shares now, he’ll never get another chance.
...
Jiang Banxia snuck off at four-thirty in the morning.
In his drowsiness, Li Yang heard the door close, then not long after, heard the doorbell ring.
He thought Jiang Banxia had forgotten something, and when he groggily opened the door, he found it was Xue Ning.
"Xue, you can’t be..."
Xue Ning pitifully said, "Boohoo, I’m hungry, I can’t sleep..."
Xue Ning’s body seemed boneless.
Li Yang suddenly became wide awake.
...
"Mom, Li Yang confessed to me!"
"And then?"
"I agreed to him, of course. We’re going back in a few days, so get dad mentally prepared."
One message from Jiang Banxia baffled Dou Ying.
Because it was too complicated, so complex she didn’t even know how to accept it.
Li Yang was great, he wasn’t into money or status, and it didn’t matter for her family because they didn’t have much money anyway, even though Jiang Banxia suddenly made a lot, and the family didn’t plan to take any.
Recently, thanks to Jiang Banxia’s achievements, Jiang Yaoting has shown signs of promotion, since who could say no to the wealth Jiang Banxia accumulated.
Even on her side, the company gave her a bonus.
She perpetually tried to understand the relationship with Li Yang, and finally, ended up utterly confused.
What’s the relationship between Li Yang and Bai Qing? And with Xue Ning?
Before, Li Yang and Jiang Banxia hadn’t confirmed their relationship, so she felt relaxed, but now it’s different.
...
After spending four days in Capital City, Li Yang started arranging car shipments. There were two cars to be shipped, one a Maybach Li Likun had been using for over half a year, the other the Koenigsegg given by Jiang Banxia.
They, on the other hand, were driving a five-seater van back, borrowed from Song Yu.
The planned return time was twelve days, as they intended to detour to climb Mount Tai.
Jiang Banxia’s whereabouts were almost like someone had put a tracker on her. From the moment she entered some cities, someone would always send flowers to her hotel, often officially.
Invitations piled up like snowflakes, too numerous to count.
During this journey, Li Yang also met with some people, those he’d filtered through the escape room franchise group.
They didn’t have much money, but he and Song Yu could invest, which was akin to finding store managers.
Each store required an investment of at least five hundred thousand, the managers had to contribute five thousand for 20% of the store’s shares, and all accounts were handled by the head office; the managers only needed to operate the store.
He made a stop to inspect a few, and chatted for hours with some of them.
Jiang Banxia’s fan base was growing rapidly. In just over ten days, the number had surpassed four million and was still rising.
Of course, this popular spotlight also brought attention to Li Yang’s past rumors.
Some classmates even released chat records to ’prove’ that Li Yang’s bad boy image wasn’t fabricated.
Moreover, Li Yang’s final scores for three classes were released; unsurprisingly, he failed two due to absenteeism.
The three subjects totaled ten credits, and his average was directly lowered to only 63.
According to the school’s minimum requirement of a 1.5 GPA, he needed to average 65 to be considered passing. 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖
On July 16th, at night.
Jiang Banxia, Xue Ning, and Li Yang began their trek to the summit of Mount Tai.
Many chose like them, to climb at night, watch the sunrise at the peak, and descend during the day.
Li Likun and Wang Cuiping stayed at the hotel, as Li Yang didn’t want the elderly couple to strain themselves; other tours were fine, but climbing mountains? Even though they weren’t too old, they’d endured plenty of hardship, best left to those seeking exertion for fun.
Besides Li Yang carrying a backpack, Jiang Banxia and Xue Ning were unencumbered.
Their initial plan was to reach the top in seven hours.
However... they reached the summit in less than four hours.
It was just two in the morning then.
Even in July, the mountaintop was bitterly cold, with daytime temperatures only around fifteen or sixteen degrees, and at two in the morning, only five or six degrees.
Coupled with the constant winds, all three were wearing T-shirts.
The climb itself left them fatigued, so they didn’t feel the cold.
