Meng Ting only found out when he returned to school that many people already knew about his fight with Jiang Rong. However, the school publicly announced on Friday that it had only given Jiang Rong a disciplinary warning of detention for observation.

  Before the disciplinary action, counselor Wu had a talk with Meng: "We all know about Jiang Rong's incident, but her habit is also caused by family environment. We will delete the photos one by one. This is a psychological disease, and she has promised to accept counseling from a psychology teacher. Jiang Rong is only 18 years old, and her life is still long. The teacher hopes that this time can be forgiven. If it happens again, even the law will not let her go."

  Meng nodded slightly.

  The law does not blame for things that have not happened. Jiang Rong took photos of other girls, but she did not publish them. Even the two photos of Meng Ting were just ordinary daily photos. Being detained for investigation is a very serious punishment. If Jiang Rong recovers from her mental illness in the future, she may become an excellent lawyer or judge.

  Song Huanhuan knew later and felt regretful: "Just let her off like that after listening? I'd say people like her are the most hateful. Mentally abnormal! She deserves to be scolded to death."

  "That's a mental illness, it can be treated."

  "I really believe it will be fine, I think that's just human nature. Jiang Rong had no choice but to surrender to reality and apologize, and accept treatment. I think people with abnormal psychology will never get better."

  Meng Ting pursed his lips and said in a low voice: "Okay."

  Even if this probability is small, Jiang Ren is slowly getting better. He hasn't had an attack in a long time.

  In December when it's getting colder, Zhu Jing'ai, the B University flower who was elected last time, fell in love. The object of her love is a tall and thin boy.

  That boy is diligent and down-to-earth, with a warm smile. Although his family background may not be as good as Qin Yang's rich second generation, it's not bad either. Everyone thinks they're quite a match.

  "Compared to Meng, her boyfriend is much better, he's really great."

  "Some people don't believe it: 'Have you guys really seen it? Meng Ting is more to my taste than Zhu Jing, I always think you guys are making up stories.'"

  "He really came from the construction site, his clothes were very dirty, I don't know how shocked he was at that time, and he still wore a safety helmet, just like the ones used for construction. His legs were also a bit abnormal. As soon as he arrived, he hugged the school belle, and the school belle even hugged him back, our eyeballs almost fell out!"

  "Oh my goddess!"

  "Didn't Jiang Rong take a photo before? She and that guy from the construction site went to eat wontons together. Looking at Zhu Jing and her boyfriend, they're so sweet it's like a painting! I even saw her boyfriend cutting steak for her last time!"

  When Meng Ting rushed in from outside wearing a scarf, the gossipers finally shut their mouths.

  However, people who like to gossip are not rare in their misfortunes. Although they don't have good looks or good relationships, if Meng Ting is with someone they all look down on, it's like she's picking up something they disdain, and psychologically, it feels great.

  Someone whispered: "Qin Yang didn't even pursue her, it seems that Meng Ting and that person are not worthy of being with him."

  In City B, it had already started snowing in December. Outside was icy and snowy, a vast expanse of white. Meng Ting lowered her eyelashes, sitting by the window as the big snowflakes fell outside. She let out a breath and continued reading about criminal psychology.

  None of these were professional courses, but they helped her understand the profession.

  She is quiet and peaceful, no need to be as sweet as Zhu Jing and her boyfriend, she alone has become a beautiful painting.

  It was enough to shut up those who turned back to look at her.

  Before the Spring Festival, some of the fourth-year students in the Architecture Department of University B received an internship opportunity that made all their schoolmates envy - Junyang recruited 20 interns.

  It is said that after graduation, they will likely become trainees of Juyang.

  Even Mi Lei couldn't help but sigh: "It's really amazing, Junyang Real Estate is so good, it's one of the best in the country! Seniors may become executives in the future, I'm so envious ahhh!"

  Song Huanhuan bit her lollipop: "Don't envy, study law well, and you can go to Junyang to be their legal counsel in the future. Even just being a name will get you a high salary."

  "Get out, what a low probability. Want to hear about going to Junyang for legal affairs?"

  Meng listened and curved his lips into a smile: "No, I want to be a lawyer."

  Jyun Yang Taitzu is now in H city working hard to make money to support her.

  The prince is usually stingy because he's poor. But as the New Year approaches, he becomes very generous and gives each person in charge a "year-end bonus".

  "He can't help but tease: 'She's coming back, is she in a good mood? Why is she being so generous.'"

  "Old man, when have I ever been petty!"

  "Previously busy until dawn, called to eat midnight snacks didn't go, said no money."

  Jiang Ren said calmly: "Originally there was no money, the bonus is calculated from the budget. Next year will still have to rely on them being conscientious, it's not good to discourage others."

  Gao Yi joked: "General Jiang is getting more and more like a boss hahaha!"

  Jiang Ren did not return to B City for New Year this year, so Wen Rui returned to Jiang's residence early.

  Grandma Jiang started making a fuss, an old lady of advanced age picked up the fruit and wanted to throw it at Wen Rui. In the end, she even cried, her wrinkled hands covering her face, crying very sadly: "My little Nian didn't come back, they must have bullied my little Nian. They didn't even let him come home."

  Wen Rui's face stiffened slightly, and he picked up the orange with a smile, gently stroking the elderly woman's white hair: "Lan auntie, Jiang Nu is starting his own business."

  "Get out of here! You wicked devil from hell!"

  Jiang Jixian also had a headache and said: "Mom, stop it. That stinky kid is fine, why cry? It's almost New Year's, not auspicious."

  "I've prepared red envelopes for my little ninja, give it to him, give it to him!"

  She pulled out a large red envelope from her flower-patterned jacket, which was thick with cash. Jiang Jixian had no choice but to take it: "Alright, give it to him."

  Wen Rui stood by and watched, his smile never changing.

  Jiang Jixian said: "Don't take it to heart, mom is like a little kid now."

  "Nothing, brother-in-law. You and sister have been very kind to me, I don't know how to repay you. I can understand Aunt Lan."

  "This is good! That stinky Jiang Ren!"

  Jiang Jixian scolded with his mouth, but the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up.

  Jiang Ren developed real estate projects, and he also knew some progress. Although he said so with his mouth, his own son was a top-notch man who stood tall and proud, and as a father, he was always happy and proud in his heart.

  Wen Rui pushed his glasses and thought coldly, after all, they were not a family.

  The old and young didn't take him as a family member. Did he want this little charity from Junyang? Even if the prince beat him, it would be enough for Jiang Jixian to apologize. After all, they were not relatives.

  Wen Rui went back and vented his anger, he calmed down before calling people on the other side of H city.

  ~

  Meng Ting and Shu Yang were on the train heading back when she whispered: "Shu Yang..."

  "What?"

  "Don't tell Dad about the fight I got into, okay?"

  Shu Yang couldn't help but curve his lips and turned his head to look out the window.

  Meng said with a sad face: "Let's give him a red envelope for New Year's, but don't tell Shu Dad about it."

  "Alright."

  Meng Ting knew that Jiang Ren was busy and didn't notify him when he came back. If he had come to pick him up, it would have delayed many things, as all the major companies were busy before the New Year.

  Two children returned home, Shu Zhitong was very happy and hurriedly asked them how their university life was.

  Meng Ting went out in the afternoon to An Haiting's place.

  It was still last year when she accepted Little Star's job. As soon as the staff saw her, they recognized her: "Huh?"

  Meng Ting brought her own family's New Year goods as a gift: "Thank you for helping me so much before, Happy New Year, and smooth work."

  The salesgirl smiled with curved eyebrows: "Thank you, Miss Meng." She thought of the general manager Jiang coming back to find Xingxing with a furious face as soon as she saw the girl.

  Meng Ting asked Qing about Jiang Ren's current office location. It's a bit far from here, near the sea but quite out of the way.

  Jiang Ren has a lot of ideas, the land here is cheap, but relatively speaking, it's an undeveloped area and will be difficult to promote in the future. His project is huge, Meng Ting vaguely remembers that the house price surge was at the end of next year or the following year. If he completes the project and promotes it well, he'll make a fortune.

  Just by looking at this area, I can tell that this man's ambition is not small.

  Meng Tingcai had just passed by when he saw Gao Yi hastily walking out.

  Gao Yi saw her and was stunned: "Meng Ting?"

  "It's me, hello, who are you?"

  "My name is Gao Yi, I'm looking for Director Jiang?"

  Meng Ting heard someone shouting "Jiang Ren Jiang Zong" for the first time, feeling very curious, she nodded. Gao Yi frowned: "There's a bit of trouble with the project, and there's also a bit of a problem with the contract. Or..." Gao Yi wanted to say or go back first, but after thinking about it, he said, "Let's go find Jiang Zong, his mood is not very good, comfort him more, young people always have failures and experiences."

  Jiang Ren sat by the sea, bending one leg, gazing out at the vast ocean in the twilight.

  When he saw Meng Ting, he thought it was his own illusion.

  She squatted down beside him, wrapped her scarf around his neck and asked softly: "Warm enough?"

  He smiled: "Uh-huh."

  "What's going on?"

  "It's nothing," he said lightly, "I've already taken care of it."

  "Swindler, Gao Yi said it's quite serious." She was worried, her big eyes reflecting the colors of the sunset, squatting in front of him and looking up at him with eyelashes that curled upwards like a crow's feathers.

  Jiang Ren's lips curved into a smile: "Really beautiful."

  Meng Ting almost laughed at him.

  "It's ugly now."

  He pulled her over, two nights without sleep, his chin grew a shallow stubble, he lowered his head and scolded her: "Don't you have any sense of aesthetics? What's the point of being so good-looking as a man? Stupid woman, only those with skills are worth following, do you understand?"

  She felt itchy and giggled as she pushed him away: "Go away, go away."

  "The foolish woman" sounded like it was filled with honey, making him curve his lips.

  She held his handsome face and laughed until tears streamed down her eyes: "So ticklish hahaha..."

  Jiang Ren pulled her up, patted the sand off her body and softly coaxed her: "Good girl, go back and play for New Year's first, wait till I'm done with these few busy days, can we play together then?"

  Meng Ting knew he didn't want to talk about his setbacks at work.

  He has always been like this, hoping she sees his grandeur, but not wanting her to see his fragility and scars.

  She was already self-abased as a young girl, so she didn't force him to ask her either.

  Meng Ting waved his hand at him, letting him go first.

  She called Shu's dad and said she had just returned home with great difficulty, and would be sleeping at Zhao Nuanju's house tonight. Then she found Gao Yi and took out the spare key, taking out some money to give to Gao Yi: "Uncle Gao, after the Spring Festival I will go back to B City for school, Jiang Ren always doesn't eat well, it's not good for his stomach, please take care of him more."

  Gao Yi smiled bitterly: "Good." This money was originally borrowed by Jiang Ren for Meng Ting, and now the girl let him take it to take care of Jiang Ren.

  "What does he usually eat?"

  "Noodles." Gao Yi felt a pang of sympathy, "During busy times, it's just a bowl of plain noodles in hot water."

  The boss is generous with others but stingy with himself. However, when it comes to entertaining guests, he suddenly becomes very extravagant.

  Meng Ting pursed her lips, she had bought vegetables and meat, but it wasn't until she arrived at Jiang Ren's kitchen that she realized Gao Yi hadn't exaggerated at all.

  There were just a few strands of noodles placed there, without even an egg.

  She tidied up the kitchen and chopped vegetables for cooking. Meng listened from 6:30 to 7:30 but still didn't see him come back.

  Jiang Ren didn't accompany her, so it's likely something very serious happened.

  Meng didn't move anything of his, just cooked a meal and kept it warm in the pot for him.

  She remembered when she first saw him in the second year of high school, he had silver hair and black diamond earrings, drove a silver supercar, and rode a mountain motorcycle that shook the sky.

  Wearing famous brands from head to toe, going out to play in Xiaogang City for one night costs tens of thousands.

  Compared with before, thinking of his current classmates' evaluation makes him feel heartbroken.

  If Jiang Ren was still the same as before, I'm afraid he wouldn't dare say anything. He's always been overbearing and arrogant to the bone, never changing. It's just that in his heart, he stubbornly thinks he's not good enough for her. So he tries hard to become mature and responsible.

  The lights on this side gradually went out, H city is different from B city's prosperity.

  It was quiet in the small town at night.

  It wasn't until eleven o'clock that Jiang Ren opened the door. The living room lights were on at their lowest setting, and he was taken aback.

  He just came back from the hospital, a worker in the construction unit had an accident. Originally, old workers were used to one throwing bricks up and another catching them, which was convenient and fast. But last year, something went wrong, the one who caught the brick didn't catch it steadily, the brick fell down and hit the head of the old worker below, causing his head to bleed profusely on the spot.

  Although this is a matter for the construction side, Jiang Ren is the big boss after all. If this matter is not handled properly, the project will be delayed.

  The roof leaks just in time for a continuous rainy night, and the other side of the building materials contract suddenly wants to raise the price.

  Jiang Ren's heart sank. What was agreed upon earlier had been suddenly overturned, which greatly damaged his reputation. However, he currently had no money or power, and so he really couldn't do anything to them.

  No matter how many good things were said, they still wouldn't budge.

  He hadn't slept for two nights and was extremely irritable.

  Two things added together, slightly careless, the project will end in failure.

  He went to the seaside and sat for a while, calming down his mood, then continued to deal with the trouble.

  Jiang Ren walked over and saw Meng Ting curled up on the sofa, fast asleep.

  Her little face is soft and white, cute.

  There was a faint fragrance in the kitchen, Jiang Ren opened the pot and saw that the meal was ready. It had already gone cold.

  He couldn't describe what he felt at that moment.

  He didn't dare tell Meng anything, for fear that Meng would look down on him and think he was useless.

  Professor Sun Yi had told him about the rumors of B University's beauty, she was the most beautiful and lovely girl, but in her classmates' eyes, he was not worthy at all.

  Jiang Ren just wanted to get to her side a little faster.

  Many times he had nightmares, dreaming that she told him to break up. She was with a tall and thin man who was full of talent, just like Wen Rui.

  He limped after her, but couldn't catch up no matter how hard he tried.

  After waking up from his dream, he covered up all the flaws and shortcomings. He told himself that she didn't mind these things.

  He is not one who cannot experience failure, he can have nothing at all.

  He is so furious just because no matter how hard he tries, he is still far away from her.

  He was well aware that as long as he didn't interfere with her life, she could live a good life with her extremely beautiful face and excellent academic performance. No man would be willing to treat such a girl badly.

  She didn't treat him well, but he still felt unworthy of her.

  She's actually really nice.

  Let her wait then, and be as obedient as she wants.
