Monday.
Jiang Yue entered the ward and she couldn't help but stop when she saw the books around Jiang Xiu.
"What are you doing?" She asked as she went to the bathroom to wash her hands.
"Oh, Sister you're here! Look, Uncle Wen visited me just a while ago and I told him to bring my books. I've already picked those important topics for you to learn."
"How is Uncle Wen?" Jiang Yue got an apple and broke it in half with her own two hands, then gave the other half to the other girl.
Seeing that, Jiang Xiu was stupefied but then she accepted it, "He's fine, he has a gauze around his forehead. He was worried that we won't be able to pay the medical fees but thank goodness Young Master Luo is here, he paid for it." Jiang Yue nodded when she heard that, she had known about it this morning when she was about to settle the payment.
"By the way Sister, do you know anyone with connections?" Jiang Xiu asked, her tone filled with hesitation.
"Why?"
"You can't enter Shuhui Middle School without any connections, especially now that classes had already started." Jiang Yue simply raised her eyebrows when heard that and said in a deadpan tone, "I know someone."
"Oh okay."
"Are you sure you're fine?" She gestured towards the girl's thigh.
"Oh, it's all good already. It still hurts from time to time but I can manage it. By the way," She grabbed the 3 books that she piled on the side, "Just read those pages I've folded. Those are the lessons we're tackling right now."
Jiang Yue accepted it, opened the books, and nodded just to make the girl feel at ease.
Jiang Xiu breathed relief when she saw that.
"Then we'll go home this evening. Do you want to stay with me or stay—" She hadn't even finished her question when Jiang Xiu immediately answered, "I want to stay with you!"
"Then let's get your things at the Xia family this evening."
***
At a private room in Club Crimson.
Qin Zirui slammed the cards he has on the table when he lost once again.
"Can't you at least let me win for once?" He asked with gritted teeth.
Gao Jing laughed his ass off then said with a grin, "You're the one who dragged me here, deal with it."
Qin Zirui scoffed as he gathered the cards and shuffled them, "Shut up, you're here for business, it was Fu Liwei who I wanted to drag here, not you."
Gao Jing couldn't help but choke on his saliva with his friend's hurtful words but then he sneered when he remembered something, "He wanted to but his sister wanted to come also. You know Fu Xifeng is Brother Zhe's tail. If it weren't because she was grounded last time, that girl would have been here by now."
Fu Xifeng was their close friend's sister, just a few years behind them. If it weren't because of Luo Zhelan's grandmother warning him to not hurt the girl, Luo Zhelan might have kicked the girl out many times already.
He leaned on the sofa and lit another cigarette, "You got to break it to the girl that Brother Zhe has set his eyes on someone already."
Gao Jing almost fell from his chair when he heard that. "What? Are you serious? Who's the unlucky girl?" He then narrowed his eyes, "Or is it a guy?"
Qin Zirui choked, the cigarette's smoke coming out from his nose making it hard for him to breathe. It took him a while to stop coughing then he smacked Gao Jing on his head, "What? You thought our brother is gay? Should I doubt you're gay also because you were never in a relationship?"
"I just find being in a relationship too troublesome, I have flings, Brother Zhe on the other hand..."
"That's what I thought before also, but now I understand why he was never interested in anyone before."
Gao Jing leaned towards him, very interested in their close friend's gossip.
Qin Zirui leaned towards his ear also, then whispered, "That's because he never met someone as crazy as him." The man was dumbstruck when he heard that.
The door to the room suddenly opened, the two men turned their heads and they felt something stuck in their throat when they saw the main character of their gossip.
"Brother Zhe, have you settled—"
"I'll be staying here in Qingdu for a few more days or weeks. You can go back to the capital first."
"I just got here," Gao Jing groaned then continued, "Besides, I have a business to settle here."
"Up to you."
"Where are you going?" He asked when he saw his friend get his car key from the table.
"Jiang Yue is leaving the hospital." The man simply explained and left with no other words.
"Jiang who? Who the hell is he talking about?" Gao Jing turned his head towards Qin Zirui, the only man who can answer his question.
Qin Zirui smirked, "You'll know soon."
