Chapter 57 -57: No Use for Them

Jiang Fanyue understood as she listened from the side; the person who personally ousted Tan Lu from the school was Xiao Meng.

Xiao Meng’s sudden surge in grades, or rather, her sudden return to her previous performance, delivered a fatal blow to Tan Lu.

This time, even Tian Wangcheng had nothing to say.

Hearing the revelry of Jiang Zhe and Xiao Meng with the others, Jiang Fanyue’s heart sank little by little.

…

After the monthly exams came the monthly break, with dismissal time much earlier than usual.

In the afternoon after classes, Jiang Zhe was packing her bag when the phone rang.

She answered it, and the cheerful laughter of Old Lady Qin came through: “Xiaozhe, when does your school go on break?”

“Today.”

“Isn’t that a coincidence? I was just thinking of inviting you to have a meal with me. Would it be more convenient for me to come to Jincheng or for you to come to Beijing to find me?”

Jiang Zhe smiled slightly: “I’ll come to you.”

She hardly ever felt close to others, but Old Lady Qin was very different.

“Good, good, I’ll trouble you to make the trip then,” Old Lady Qin said, her voice filled with even more laughter upon hearing that she would come.

After hanging up the phone, she instructed the butler at her side: “Go ask Jingchen what Xiaozhe likes to eat, and prepare according to that.”

The butler couldn’t recall the last time he saw the old lady this happy, especially since this was the first time the young master had brought a girl home; he immediately replied with a smile: “The old lady is blessed, the young mistress has already come to the door.”

“Isn’t that so?” Old Lady Qin smiled contentedly.

After Jiang Zhe hung up the phone, Qin Jingchen’s call came through.

His tone was very gentle: “You promised Grandma to go to Beijing?”

“Not much going on anyway. Are you going?”

“I’ll go with you,” Qin Jingchen said with a low chuckle, his voice deep and sexy, “I’ll come to pick you up.”

Jiang Zhe hummed in agreement and hung up the phone.

As soon as the monthly break started, everyone dispersed.

Xiao Meng was also dragged by Xia Enci to Wangjia Alley.

The Lincoln was parked in front of the school gate.

With Jiang Zhe’s earlier title of international piano champion, the students weren’t surprised to see the Lincoln coming to pick her up.

Or rather, even if anyone had any objections, they could only keep it to themselves—the lessons learned from Bai Yilian and Tan Lu were still fresh in their minds.

The car was stocked with cherries, prepared in the way that Jiang Zhe liked.

She didn’t chew gum and began to eat the cherries instead.

Qin Jingchen’s lips curled slightly, his smile bright and clear as a fine day, even the teardrop mole on his face seemed to carry a faint smile.

Jincheng was roughly a three-hour drive from Beijing, and there were flights available.

On paper, the flight time was much shorter than driving, but in practice, considering the time it takes to get to the airport from the city center, going through airport procedures and boarding, it was about the same as driving.

Thus, Qin Jingchen chose to drive.

Jiang Zhe had no objections.

With fresh fruit to eat along the way, Jiang Zhe’s gum remained unused.

As the car entered Beijing, it drove towards the Qin Family’s compound.

The Qin Family’s compound was located in the center of the city. A lane shaded by shady trees obscured the lingering sun of early autumn evening.

The surroundings were extremely quiet; if one did not come in person, it would be hard to imagine such a peaceful and elegant open space existed in the urban district of Beijing.

At the end of the road, there were fewer trees. After the car turned a corner and drove for a few minutes, a majestic courtyard came into view.

The villa appeared to be seventy or eighty percent new, quiet, spacious, with a sense of the era, yet it blended very well with the present.

The Qin Family’s grand courtyard can be considered as located in the most central area of the Dragon Emperor Country, at its most core position.

Jiang Zhe glanced sideways but remained very composed, not even lifting her eyelids an extra time.

The driver of the car, Qin Hai, had been following Qin Jingchen for many years.

During this time, he had always been in Jincheng, and he was the one driving the car.

Over this period, he had seen Jiang Zhe countless times, but found it difficult to imagine how she managed to stay so composed.

No matter where they went to eat, no matter what upscale occasion it was, Jiang Zhe was always like this, her eyes light, as if she was simply going to school.

Qin Hai wondered if she was too calm, too indifferent, or perhaps too inexperienced… The latter obviously didn’t seem quite right, considering she was the one who personally helped save Qin Feng’s unborn child!

As soon as the car arrived, the butler wearing a Sun Yat-sen suit, probably just over fifty, with not a hair out of place on his head, had already come over from a distance to meet them.

Jiang Zhe put down her cherries, and a clean, warm damp towel was presented in front of her.

She didn’t ponder how Qin Jingchen had arranged it; after a moment’s glance at his well-defined fingers, she took the towel and wiped her hands. Qin Jingchen then voluntarily took it back, everything proceeding as though it were the most natural course of action.

Qin Hai was surprised once more, witnessing Qin Jingchen constantly surpassing his past, breaking through his own boundaries.

But seeing Qin Jingchen, who always had a fastidiousness for cleanliness, treat Jiang Zhe in such a way today, Qin Hai still blinked in disbelief, restraining himself from looking back.

“We’ve arrived,” Qin Jingchen said as he stepped out of the car first, opened the door, and extended a hand in front of Jiang Zhe.

Jiang Zhe placed her hand in his palm, and as Qin Jingchen grasped her fingers, she smoothly alighted from the vehicle with his help.

The butler, with a keen eye, noticed Qin Jingchen holding Jiang Zhe’s hand and understood in his heart, the status of this young mistress was likely settled.

After getting out of the car, Jiang Zhe withdrew her hand from Qin Jingchen’s, and as he touched his nose, he caught up with her stride.

Madame Qin was sitting on the couch, and when she saw Jiang Zhe’s tall and slender figure entering, her eyes creased into a smile, “Xiaozhe!”

“Grandma Qin,” Jiang Zhe said as she approached her.

The old lady’s gaze fell on Qin Jingchen, who was not far behind Jiang Zhe, and noticed he wasn’t holding the Buddha Beads as usual, and the sandalwood scent on him was much lighter than before.

This was unusual behavior for Qin Jingchen.

She had mentioned it countless times before, but he never took it seriously. One year, Qin Jingchen spent almost half a year living in a monastery, which had Madame Qin so anxious; she feared he would really go through with such a decision.

She had hoped for so long, never seeing him truly put aside his Buddha Beads until today; her wish was finally fulfilled.

The heavy stone in her heart was finally put to rest.

“Grandma,” Qin Jingchen walked over.

“You sit over there,” Madame Qin gave him a look, took Jiang Zhe’s hand, and had her sit beside her, “Are you tired from the journey?”

“Not too bad,” Jiang Zhe replied softly.

“If it’s tiring and time is tight, I can come to Jincheng to see you in the future just the same,” Madame Qin suggested.

Jiang Zhe laughed lightly, “Not necessary, I have monthly leave.”

The butler brought over some fruit and tea.

The cherries, double-pitted and lined up neatly after washing, displayed an attractive, lustrous red hue, all of excellent quality.

Jiang Zhe retracted her fingers that held her gum and picked up a cherry.

She wasn’t very talkative, but Madame Qin was conversational and spirits were high.
