Lin Xian saw the man in the wheelchair and thought of Chen Haobin's previous fate, so he quickly let go of Jiang Moxi's hand, saying, "Third Master!"
"What are you doing?"
"Nothing. Just chatting with Moxi."
Lin Xian replied discreetly, hinting to Jiang Moxi not to say anything inappropriate in front of Fu Youhan.
Jiang Moxi remained almost indifferent, uncertain whether she understood his hint or not.
But Fu Youhan's cold and stern voice sounded again, "What do you have to say to her? Why are you laying your hands on her?"
"I just wanted..."
Lin Xian's face turned red, but he couldn't come up with an excuse.
"If I catch you mistreating anyone again, be careful, I'll chop off your hands," warned Fu Youhan, then glanced at Jiang Moxi, "Come here and push me."
"Alright."
Jiang Moxi stepped forward and gently pushed Fu Youhan away.
Afterward, Lin Xian belatedly realized how inappropriate his actions were towards Jiang Moxi. He felt a sense of shame, particularly because he had behaved that way in front of her and was confronted by Fu Youhan.
"Impaired by alcohol! I'll never drink again!"
As Lin Xian grumbled to himself, Jiang Moxi pushed Fu Youhan towards the direction of the elevator.
When Fu Youhan arrived at the front of the elevator, where several potted plants were placed, he noticed that one of the pots was positioned conspicuously, and there was a clear crease on his forehead.
"Why are you working here part-time?"
"Because I need the money," Jiang Moxi replied bluntly.
Fu Youhan raised an eyebrow coldly, "Are you really in need of money?"
"Yeah."
But the man just coldly glanced at her and said, "Go and move that one."
Jiang Moxi followed the man's gaze and saw that he was pointing at the potted plant that was placed conspicuously.
So she stepped forward and adjusted the position of the pot.
Though she didn't arrange it perfectly, the crease on the man's forehead visibly softened, and he even took a second look at her, brushing his eyes over her face with crazy makeup.
"If you need any help in the future, come directly to the ninth floor upstairs."
Jiang Moxi breathed a sigh of relief and smiled, "Thank you, Uncle."
In reality, she was worried that Fu Youhan would inquire further, like asking about the amount of money she needed.
Fortunately, he didn't ask.
But come to think of it, his reaction was normal.
Apart from that one night, she was, at most, just his nephew's former fiancée.
Fu Youhan made a faint sound of acknowledgment, then pushed his wheelchair into the elevator.
The elevator doors closed, and Jiang Moxi looked at the digital screen next to her, realizing that the elevator had stopped on the ninth floor.
During the training yesterday, the manager mentioned that there was only one large private room on the ninth floor, reserved for a VIP guest, and she was advised not to go up there casually.
Now, she figured that the VIP guest was probably Fu Youhan.
However, she had no intention of getting involved with him and certainly wouldn't go to the ninth floor for his help.

The next day, Jiang Moxi received another round of treats from Lin Xian when she went to school.
Besides breakfast, there were various exquisite pastries.
Many classmates gathered around to see.
"Wow, it's from the Five Seasons Hotel. They say their breakfast is made by one of the best chefs in the country and is limited to platinum members of the hotel."
"This meal must cost at least five digits!"
"Classmate, I think you missed a digit..."
At that moment, Li Xue'er slammed the materials she was about to distribute onto the podium.
"It's time for class. What are you all gathering for? If you don't return to your seats, I'll write down your names one by one and deduct your daily performance points."
Jiang Moxi followed the sound and saw Li Xue'er glaring at her coldly.
The technical college's leaders had tried to make the students appear more professional, so they implemented daily performance points, in addition to the points from specialized courses and electives. If the overall score fell below the passing line, the student would be put on academic probation.
However, unlike specialized course and elective points, the daily performance points were evaluated by the class leader and the student council, giving them absolute authority over it.
As a result, no one in the class dared to confront Li Xue'er directly and returned to their seats.
Nevertheless, some couldn't help but whisper, "I think Li Xue'er resents Jiang Moxi for snatching Lin Xian from her, that's why she's intentionally targeting her."
"Has Li Xue'er ever dated Lin Xian? At most, they exchanged glances for a while. How could she still dare to act like the righteous main consort?"
Li Xue'er shot the two gossipers a cold glare, and they immediately fell silent.
Li Xue'er met Jiang Moxi's indifferent gaze.
"Jiang Moxi, your behavior has severely disrupted the classroom order in our class for the past few days. So, I will report your name and deduct your daily performance points for this semester."
However, Li Xue'er didn't expect Jiang Moxi to suddenly stand up and stride towards her.
"Li Xue'er, isn't it too obvious that you're abusing your power for personal grievances?"
