Chapter 47 Don't Let Her Remind You

"This is murder! Murder! Where's the lawyer?! Butler! Call a lawyer for me! Have him sue me! Sue them to death!"

Jiang Lingsi scratched his right ear, listening to Bai Yi's angry voice coming from the other end of the phone, and put the phone to his left ear.

"The other party is a minor, and in fact, he didn't even cause minor injuries. He won't be convicted of a crime at all. At most, they will mediate and impose administrative penalties. You should save yourself the trouble."

There was another string of curses coming from the other side. Jiang Lingsi scratched his left ear again until he heard Bai Yi's sinister laughter. He felt relieved and then curled his lips into a smile, put his hands in his pockets and looked at the night sky. "I say, if you are so worried, why don't you come and see her in person?"

Jiang Ling looked into the police station, Xi Ruan was sitting on a chair accompanied by Father Bai.

Bai Yi on the opposite side panicked immediately after hearing this, "No no no no! I will scare her!"

She paused for a moment, as if looking in the mirror, "Oh my god! How I look now! It's over! Everything is over! I can't welcome my sister home tonight! I can't have dinner with my sister! My face will make her angry!"

"Ahhhh!!! It's all that damn bitch's fault!! I will never let her off!!"

The person on the other end started cursing again. Jiang Lingsi rolled his eyes and hung up the phone.

After waiting for a while, the parents of both sides reluctantly reached an agreement under the mediation of the police, and led their children out of the police station one after another.

Father Bai's face was as hard as a rock. Jiang Lingsi knew at a glance that Father Bai was not satisfied with the result, but he just let them off for the sake of appearance.

After sending Xi Ruan to the car, Father Bai told her to have a good rest in the car before closing the door and turning to walk towards Jiang Lingsi.

"Follow me." Father Bai waved at him and walked away to a place far away where Xi Ruan could not hear him.

Jiang Lingsi raised his eyebrows slightly, as if a little surprised, and followed behind Bai's father with his hands in his pockets.

When they reached a secluded corner, Father Bai glanced at Xi Ruan who was sticking his head out of the car window, and then looked at the young man in front of him.

"Decimal." He put his hands behind his back, his serious and solemn face full of majesty.

Jiang Lingsi tilted his head, somewhat helplessly, "Can't you distinguish our names properly? You call me Xiaoshu and my brother Xiaoshu. Fortunately, my brother has gone back, otherwise we wouldn't know who you were calling."

A trace of embarrassment flashed across Mr. Bai's face. Everyone has shortcomings, and one of his shortcomings is that he can't remember names.

In the past, he couldn't tell the two children's nicknames and real names apart when they were mixed up. Moreover, the two children looked alike when they were young, which made it even more difficult for him to tell them apart. So he simply called them all that. After all, he couldn't be accused of calling them wrong.

Being able to call two people by one name was, in his opinion, a very labor-saving thing.

He coughed lightly with a straight face and changed the subject, "I called you over here because I want to talk to you about something serious."

Jiang Lingsi nodded, still looking nonchalant, "You go ahead."

Father Bai paced two steps and glanced at Xi Ruan in the distance, as if considering what to say.

"Thank you for taking care of Ruan Ruan for us during this period of time." He patted Jiang Lingsi's shoulder, "You will have to work hard in your senior year. If you have any difficulties in the future, you can tell me, and uncle will do his best to help you."

Jiang Lingsi raised his chin but did not respond, motioning for Father Bai to continue.

Father Bai looked at the tall young man in front of him and sighed, "Actually, after the last incident, between you and your brother, I was more optimistic about you."

Jiang Lingsi's eyes suddenly trembled, his body unconsciously straightened up, and he asked in a deep voice, "What do you mean!?"

"You know what I mean." Father Bai looked at Xi Ruan and continued, "Your brother is good in every way. His appearance, personality, family background, and knowledge are all impeccable."

"But he grew up in a very simple environment. He had never been hurt and could not imagine how evil human nature could be. Therefore, his methods were simple and he was easily deceived by villains and illusions."

"If Ruan Ruan was a normal child, I would feel at ease handing her over to him. But unfortunately, she is not."

"But you are different."

"Compared to your brother, you are better at protecting Ruan Ruan, aren't you?"

Jiang Lingsi looked at Father Bai quietly, then uttered three words, "But."

He did not ignore the word "originally" that Bai's father said before.

Father Bai smiled appreciatively, patted his firm upper arm, and said regretfully: "Your family background is too complicated. I don't want Ruan Ruan to fall into that kind of chaotic situation."

Jiang Lingsi's lips were tightly drawn, his long eyelashes drooped, and he did not deny it.

"Also, you..." Father Bai looked Jiang Lingsi up and down, as if he was choosing his words, "I don't want Ruanruan to suffer in life."

Jiang Lingsi blinked slowly, he understood what he meant.

Father Bai looked at the child in front of him and sighed, comforting him, "Actually, it's too early to say these things, you are still young, but you know, Ruan Ruan's situation is special, I always want to help her find someone as soon as possible, there are not many people who can truly like her, and it is even more difficult to have pure feelings after the age of adolescence."

Jiang Lingsi raised his head, turned his head to look at Xi Ruan behind him, turned his head and pretended to be indifferent, "Okay, I understand. Is that all? If you're done, I'll leave."

Father Bai looked at Jiang Lingsi with a complicated expression.

Seeing that he didn't say anything, Jiang Lingsi turned around and prepared to leave.

Suddenly, Father Bai grabbed his arm and pulled him back.

He held his shoulders and said solemnly, "Also! I hope you don't let Ruan Ruan remember more about you and her when you were little!"

Jiang Lingsi looked back in shock: "What did you say!?"

"..."

"What's going on?!" Jiang Lingsi grabbed Bai's father's arm, stared at him fiercely and asked.

Father Bai was silent for a while, then he sighed, took out a cigarette box from his pocket, picked out a cigarette and lit it.

The night wind blew, the scarlet cigarette butt flickered, and Father Bai spoke slowly to Jiang Lingsi. His low voice drifted away with the wind, and the syllables had long been blurred...

-

Xi Ruan sat in the car and kept leaning his head to look outside.

I don’t know what Uncle Bai and Jiang Lingsi are talking about. Why does it take so long?

Finally, when Xi Ruan's neck was sore from stretching, the two of them walked back.

The tall boy was walking in front, wearing a baseball cap. In the night, his three-dimensional and deep face was outlined in light and dark by the street lights. His long legs moved with the wind, and he walked towards her with one hand in his pocket. In Xi Ruan's opinion, he looked very handsome.

She smiled at him.

This is her little tree brother.

I will stand by her side immediately.

I will check if she is injured first.

I will protect her unconditionally.

Even though she couldn't remember much about him, she was sure that he was "Shen Xiaoshu".

But... why? His name seemed to have nothing to do with these three words. What did she forget?

Xi Ruan thought doubtfully, and her eyes gradually became inquiring as she looked at Jiang Lingsi.

Jiang Lingsi walked to the car door and saw Xi Ruan leaning against the car window, staring at him without blinking. He couldn't help but chuckle, "The weather is getting hot. You're not afraid of mosquitoes getting into the car and biting you. Hurry up and close the car window and go back."

Xi Ruan blinked and saw that Bai's father had already got into the car and told the driver to leave, so she could only wave to Jiang Lingsi.

She smiled with her eyes curved, with a warm light in them, and whispered "goodbye" to him.

Jiang Lingsi curled his lips, his eyes became even darker in the night, he waved his hand and watched her leave.

Standing there, Jiang Lingsi recalled Father Bai’s words in his mind.

"She only has some scattered fragments and images of you left. She doesn't remember your correct name either. She only remembers 'Shen Xiaoshu'.

I will not stop you from contacting each other for now, but if Ruan Ruan recognizes you one day, she will definitely find it strange and will investigate the matter further.

So, if one day Ruan Ruan asks you if you are 'Shen Xiaoshu', or even asks you why you are called 'Shen Xiaoshu', I hope you will deny it directly."

"I don't dare to let her remember it. I don't dare to take that risk. I believe you can understand my feelings."

Jiang Lingsi looked at the taillights of the car going away, slowly squatted on the ground, rubbed his face with his hands, and then buried his face in his palms.

It turns out that his little softie has never forgotten him...

However, he had never felt as much as he did now that it would be better for her to completely forget about him...

After a long time, he got up and walked home.

Looking at the busy streets, he laughed.

Perhaps, "Shen Xiaoshu" is her heaviest punishment for him.

Late at night, Ye Qianqian was sitting on the bed talking on the phone.

"So, I created such good conditions for you, and not only did you fail to scratch her face, you also failed to frame her in front of Shen Jiashu, and you even got yourself into the police station?" A voice that had gone through multiple voice changes came from the other end of the line.

Ye Qianqian nodded and replied cautiously, "Sister, I really didn't expect her to fight back. You don't know how strong her hands are. So it was impossible for me to cut her face and then cut myself and put the knife into her hand to pretend to defend myself."

"But I really tried my best! Can you help me talk to Sister Rong about that role..."

"Useless! You can't even do this and you still want a role?! What are you dreaming of!!"

The other party hung up the phone directly.

Ye Qianqian gritted her teeth and threw her phone onto the bed.

Why is Liu Yue so arrogant? Don’t even use your real voice when calling her, let alone your real number.

He pretends to be more kind and generous than anyone else, but in private he is more vicious and vindictive than anyone else.

If they hadn't signed an agent, she would never agree to Xi Ruan's bad idea if she and Xi Ruan were in the same class and wanted to get some information from her.

She was stupid at the time, thinking she could kill two birds with one stone, but she didn't expect that she would be the only one who suffered in the end!

Ye Qianqian pounded the pillow angrily when her cell phone suddenly rang again.

It was an unfamiliar number, so she quickly picked up the phone.

"Hey?"

"Hello, is this Miss Ye Qianqian? I'm Trèshaut's delivery specialist. I've delivered the cake and gifts to your door. Can you come out and pick them up now?"

Ye Qianqian raised her eyebrows in surprise. Isn't Trèshaut a courier that specializes in delivering expensive luxury goods? How could someone use this to send something to her?

"What cakes and gifts? Who sent them?" she asked.

The other party quickly replied: "The card I saw here is signed by the fourth guard, and it says 'Thank you for your dedication and self-sacrifice this time'."

Ye Qianqian understood immediately, and rushed to the door of her house, opened it and took the gift bag.

Back in the room, she took out the luxuriously and exquisitely packaged cake and the bottle of mineral water worth a thousand yuan from the bag. She suddenly felt that her efforts this time were not in vain. All the sisters in the school who couldn't stand Jiang Lingsi being nice to a certain girl saw it!

She took photos first, then immediately opened the box and tasted the tea. She drank all the water in one breath, then washed up and went to bed contentedly.

The next morning, Ye Qianqian stretched and went to the bathroom. However, when she inadvertently glanced at herself in the mirror, her scream was loud enough to break through the clouds and startled almost all the neighbors in the building.

"Ahhhhhh! My face! My face!! My face!!!!" Ye Qianqian touched her face which was covered with festering pustules and smashed the mirror.

Only then did she understand why the Bai family easily agreed to the mediation yesterday. It was not because they had no way to deal with her, but because they had plenty of ways to deal with her, and they would not leave any evidence...

Just like she had wanted to do, they also destroyed her face without leaving any trace...

But what's the use of understanding it now? It's too late...

Sister Bai (with a gloomy face): Do you support me? If you do, please leave more messages and votes to the author. I don’t want to see her rolling around and throwing a tantrum anymore.
