In the morning, Jiang Man left the room with dark circles under her eyes.
When she saw Jiang Li wearing Yangming's school uniform and eating breakfast at the dining table, she could not help but scream.
"Jiang Li, are you shameless? How dare you wear my clothes? Take it off quickly!"
Jiang Li could not be bothered with her and just picked up her schoolbag and left.
Jiang Man was stunned. "You, you even took the same bag as me. I don't know where you picked it up from, but how shameless! You're actually pretending to be Yangming's student!"
Jiang Li ignored her and directly asked her father, "I want to transfer to the Science Grade 12 Class 1."
"You... Impossible, are you crazy? Your grades are only good enough for No. 15 high school! You want to go to Yangming High School? You want to be in my class? Mom and Dad won't spend a lot of money to transfer you to another school. That's a waste of money!"
No. 15 High School was famous for being a bad technical school in Sea City. After Jiang Li was picked up, she went to school there for two whole years.
Jiang Man could not be bothered to pretend anymore at home. She screamed when she opened her mouth and spoke vulgarly. Her gentle personality was all gone.
It was good that way. Jiang Li liked to see her fierce expression.
"I was just informing you," Jiang Li said lazily and turned around to leave.
"Mom!"Jiang Man screamed.
"What's going on? Jiang Li want to go to Yangming too? I don't want that. It would be so embarrassing if people found out that I have a sister from the countryside."
Mother Jiang and Father Jiang came out and looked at Jiang Li's back in shock.
"It's impossible. Yangming is so strict. With her previous results, it's impossible for her to get into Yangming." Father Jiang shook his head. Moreover, he did not spend a single cent on Jiang Li. How could she have the money to go to Yangming?
Mother Jiang quickly comforted Jiang Man when she heard that. "Good daughter, don't cry. She's just trying to anger you and scare you."
"Really?"Only then did Jiang Man wipe away her tears. "Hmph, I'll see how she gets into Yangming High School."
Jiang Li went outside. Taxi after taxi sped past, but none of them were empty.
It was the morning rush hour, so she could not get a taxi.
At this moment, a Rolls-Royce Phantom silently stopped beside her.
She raised her eyebrows and clicked her tongue. Rich people.
Just as Jiang Li was looking at the Phantom, the back seat window was rolled down, and a familiar face appeared in her field of vision.
Fu Jiuxiao was looking at her. Under his long eyebrows, his grayish-blue eyes were filled with the cold aura of a higher-up.
Jiang Li felt like he was looking at an abandoned puppy on the road.
She greeted him lazily, "Ninth Master, what a coincidence."
Fu Jiuxiao slightly nodded and said, "Yes, it's a coincidence. It's on the way, so get in the car."
"Cough, cough..."
The driver in the driver's seat started coughing violently.
'What the hell? Was their Ninth Master talking to a girl just now? !'
Jiang Li raised an eyebrow and looked at the driver, then understood. She looked at Fu Jiuxiao silently, as if she was trying to see through his intentions.
Fu Jiuxiao did not have any reaction. He moved his body to the side and looked at her indifferently. He did not say anything, but he did not leave either.
Was President Fu inviting her?
Jiang Li crossed her arms and looked at him for a while, but she could not tell his intentions.
Considering that she was going to walk if she did not take his car, Jiang Li lowered her head slightly and walked into the car with her slender legs. She closed her eyes and said, "Thank you."
The car soon started again.
There was a lot of space inside the Phantom, but ever since Jiang Li got into the car, the collision between her and Fu Jiuxiao's aura made the car seem small, and one could even hear their breathing.
The driver could only tremble and drive fast and steadily.
At that moment, two light coughs were heard.
Jiang Li opened her eyes.
From his voice, it sounded like Fu Jiuxiao was trying his best to suppress it. Thus, ordinary people would not be able to tell anything, but she was a doctor.
She reached out her hand and touched his pulse like lightning. "The toxins have entered your lungs, so I'll need to apply acupuncture to relieve it."
Fu Jiuxiao's slightly cold fingers were on her wrist and he was absent-minded for a moment.
"There's no need," Fu Jiaoxiao said stiffly.
Jiang Li laughed lightly. "Ninth Master is indeed Ninth Master. Just by feeling your pulse, I can tell that your heart should be in a lot of pain right now, right? But people can't tell anything from your expression."
Fu Jiuxiao looked back at her expressionlessly, neither admitting nor denying it.
Jiang Li did not care about his attitude. She took out a cloth bag from her bag and opened it. Dozens of silver needles of different lengths were arranged neatly, shining with a cold light.
She took out the longest one and reached out to unbutton his shirt —
A hand suddenly grabbed her wrist.
Fu Jiuxiao pursed his thin lips. "What are you doing?"
The driver, "..."
What did he just see?!
That girl... was taking off Ninth Master's clothes?!
Was this something he should see?!
The driver looked terrified. He quickly opened the car door, and soon, only the two of them were left in the space.
"Ninth Master, you don't think that I'm plotting something against you, do you?"
Jiang Li smiled. She was born beautiful, and her smile was even more dazzling. "Doctors are as good as parents. What is there to hide from your parents, Ninth Master?"
Fu Jiuxiao, "..."
While he was still in a daze, Jiang Li had already quickly pulled open his clothes. The silver needles pierced into the Shanzhong Acupoint accurately, and the needle pierced in. It was done in one go.
"Cough, cough..."
Maybe it was because of pain or anger, but Fu Jiaoxiao's cough became more intense. It took a while for it to stop.
He lowered his head to look at the girl who was looking at him seriously. His grayish-blue eyes became much darker as if they were dyed with a layer of ink.
The girl had delicate features and a domineering personality. She seemed to care about him faintly in her cold actions, but it was as if she was a different person.
However, it was this part of her that made him... Even more unable to control himself.
The girl's face was right in front of him, and her movements were so graceful. Fu Jiuxiao stared at her lips, which were always slight smiling, and bent down slightly—
At this moment, Jiang Li suddenly reached out to pull out the silver needle and put it back into her bag. Her actions were smooth and fluid as if she had repeated it a million times.
"Ninth Master, don't be distracted."
Jiang Li felt a faint breeze by her ear. She looked up doubtfully but did not see any transgression from the man.
Was she overthinking?
However, to be on the safe side, Jiang Li still stated, "Ninth Master should know that you and I are only in a marriage of convenience. However, just in case, we should still make a few rules."
She raised three fingers. "Different rooms, no domestic violence, and no meddling in each other's business. Do you have any objections? Tell me, and we can discuss."
Fu Jiuxiao could not help but laugh.
He did not answer this question but slowly buttoned up his shirt. After the acupuncture treatment, the pain in his heart meridian was indeed alleviated quite a bit.
"I didn't know... That you had such superb medical skills?"
Jiang Li had already known that he would have such a question. Hearing that, she shrugged slightly. "I had no choice. I just read some books and learned it."
Fu Jiuxiao, "..."
...
After hitching a ride, Jiang Li successfully arrived at Yangming and went straight to the principal's office. She lazily sat on the sofa and looked at the little bird outside the window with a smug look on her face.
"Who are you? This is not a place for students to enter?"The principal was very unhappy to see her.
Jiang Li still sat there without moving. She carried an experienced and domineering aura that did not match her age.
"Old Wu, right? This is a letter of recommendation."
When Principal Wu heard a student call him that, strangely, he did not get angry anymore. As someone who was well-trained in the ways of the world, he knew that the girl in front of him was not simple.
He took the letter and looked at it. His expression immediately changed.
He glanced at Jiang Li again. She was wearing a loose school uniform, which made her look skinny and petite. Her skin was so fair that it made her look weak and slender. It made her seem like she did not have much strength.
However, her eyes were cold and contained a domineering air. Apparently, only a person with a plan could have such an expression.
Principal Wu did not dare to have any doubts. He immediately called the teacher in charge of Class 1.
"Mr. Li, this is Jiang Li. She will be studying in your class from now on."
"Hello, Mr. Li." Jiang Li had always been very polite when it came to outsiders.
The Grade 12 Class 1 that Mr. Li was leading was one of the most important classes in the school. The top scorer in the math college entrance examination two years ago was also from his class. Therefore, he had a good reputation in front of the principal.
When he heard that the principal said that there was a transfer student, he was a little dissatisfied. Any student who entered his class had to be examined by him first. Only students who had passed his examination could enter Class 1. This was an unwritten rule of learning.
He looked at Jiang Li critically and took out her previous file to read.
"Principal Wu, this is actually transferred from the technical school. Her middle school exam results are only around 400 points..."
When Mr. Li saw her previous report card, his expression became displeased. "Isn't this a poor student who can't even enter the ordinary high school? How can she enter Yangming? Class 1 is focused on science subjects, so we can't accept her."
