302 Stones

Jiang Xue, who had just returned to the dormitory to pack her things, saw the stones in Shen Xi’s hands and instantly smiled. “I thought it was something good. I was just overthinking it. What good stuff can there be in that carbamide bag? Hahaha. I’m dying of laughter.”

Zhao Yuan took one of the stones and surveyed it, thinking the gift was not surprising considering Guan Lei’s poor family finances.

But on the account that they were all classmates, Zhao Yuan stood up for Guan Lei’s “uncle”, “Jiang Xue, what do you know? Giving a gift is about the intention, not the value. But By the way, didn’t you just have an abortion? Have you recovered so quickly? Don’t you need more rest?”

Zhao Zhu frowned and picked up a stone. She looked around a few times but couldn’t see anything.

Thinking about Guan Lei’s family background, Zhao Yuan felt that it was understandable. After all, Guan Lei wasn’t a child from a rich family, so it was normal for his uncle to be poor.

However, they were still classmates, so Zhao Yuan still said, “Jiang Xue, what do you know? Giving a gift was about the intention, not the value. But Jiang Xue, didn’t you just have an abortion? How did he recover so quickly? You’re not going to rest?”

Jiang Xue glared at Zhao Yuan fiercely. Her eyes were so vicious that she looked like she wanted to swallow Zhao Yuan alive.

However, Zhao Yuan was not afraid of Jiang Xue. Jiang Xue used to be the young lady of the Jiang family and the future daughter-in-law of the Xiang Family, so Zhao Yuan used to avoid Jiang Xue for fear of causing trouble for her family.

But now that the Jiang family had gone bankrupt and the Xiang Family had given up on Jiang Xue, Zhao Yuan felt that she didn’t have to be afraid anymore.

Zhao Yuan took a step forward and stood in front of Jiang Xue. She said fearlessly, “What are you glaring for? Did I say anything wrong? Who in Rong City doesn’t know that you climbed onto Xiang Cheng’s bed while pregnant? You can’t change this fact even if you glare at me!”

“Zhao Yuan, don’t go too far!” Jiang Xue said through gritted teeth.

After that, Jiang Xue looked around. No one in the class was helping her. Even Liu Cheng, who used to be as obedient as a dog, was just standing aside coldly, watching Zhao Yuan sneer at her.

Zhao Yuan snorted. “I’m too much? I’m not as excessive as you were before.”

Jiang Xue laughed mockingly and warned Zhao Yuan, “Zhao Yuan, I’m going to Beijing soon. My grandfather is an important person in Beijing. You’d better be careful, or you’ll have a hard time!”

Zhao Yuan scoffed at Jiang Xue’s words and sneered, “Jiang Xue, don’t bluff. Otherwise, it’ll come back to bite you later, and you’ll be in for huge embarrassment again.”

Jiang Xue’s eyes turned red with anger. She thought, “Just you wait. Once I arrive in Beijing and win my grandfather’s favor, I’ll come back and teach you a lesson!”

Of course, Jiang Xue did not forget about Shen Xi.

Jiang Xue’s reddened eyes were filled with hatred as she looked at Shen Xi, who was still studying the stones.

Shen Xi felt Jiang Xue’s resentful gaze and looked up at her. She then smiled provocatively at her and said silently, “Bring it on!”

Zhao Yuan and the others weren’t too interested in Shen Xi’s stones and returned to the classroom, leaving Jiang Xue, who was packing her things, and Shen Xi, who was arranging the stones. The dormitory was eerily quiet.

Suddenly, Shen Xi’s gasp caught Jiang Xue’s attention. Jiang Xue looked at the black bag that was in the carbamide bag and saw bundles of cash.

Shen Xi placed the cash on the table and counted it. If she was not wrong, there was about 440,000.

Jiang Xue’s eyes were wide open. In the past few days, she and her mother were at the end of their rope. Xia Chun had even sold her jewellery to maintain their livelihood.

If not for preserving her last shred of dignity, Xia Chun would have surrendered their car to their creditors too.

At this time, seeing the 440,000 in cash, Jiang Xue was instantly tempted.

Shen Xi looked back at Jiang Xue’s greedy eyes and coughed twice to warn her.

Jiang Xue quickly retracted her gaze. However, when Shen Xi turned around, Jiang Xue immediately took out her phone and took a picture of Shen Xi and the 440,000 in cash. Then, she played with her phone as if nothing had happened.

Meanwhile, Shen Xi, who was looking at the cash, stood rooted to the ground in shock.

Wasn’t Guan Lei’s uncle a rag-and-bone collector? Wasn’t he so poor that he could only wear patched clothes? The car he was driving was an old tractor. How could he have so much money? Shen Xi could not understand.

Unable to figure out the reason, Shen Xi hurriedly hid the cash on her bed and stuffed the stones into the bag of carbamide. Then, she sat on the chair in a daze.
