A Miao turned around to see Jiang Hua standing there with her mouth slightly tilted.

“Do you want me to be besieged?” Looking around, A Miao quickly walked away.

Jiang Hua quietly followed her. They bypassed the garden and arrived behind several big trees. They were relieved to see no one around.

“Mr. Jiang, your charm is too great. Please don’t call on me alone in the future.”

Jiang Hua smiled and said, “You can call me by my name. Strictly speaking, I’m not a teacher of Fujing. They just invited me to be a visiting professor.”

A Miao nodded. “But in school, I’d better call you teacher.”

“I heard that you work in the library, are you interested in changing jobs?” Jiang Hua suddenly asked her.

In Ji’s consortium—

“Boss.” Shen II entered. “What happened on the day of the dinner was indeed done by Bai Lu. She consulted with Young Master Qian in private, but her target was A Miao.”

“Li Qian is not a fool, he knows the fate of offending the Ji’s.” Shen Xinglan raised his head. “Find someone to closely watch Bai Lu. If she contacts Zhou Xiao, let them be.”

“I see.” Shen II nodded. “And that Jiang Hua…”

Shen Xinglan asked, “What did you find out?”

“Nothing.” Shen II was ashamed. “There was nothing aside from learning that he is from France and is a visiting professor at Fujing University.”

“Oh?” Shen Xinglan narrowed his eyes. “Interesting… Withdraw the people, stop investigating him.”

Shen II hesitated for a moment, then said, “We will be careful and not let him find out.”

“Maybe he has already found out.” Regarding their own intelligence network, Shen Xinglan was quite confident. Since he could not find out, it meant that Jiang Hua was an experienced player, or even more experienced than him.

“But what if he’s coming for us…”

“He has already done it,” said Shen Xinglan meaningfully.

“Do you mean A Miao?” Shen II’s eyes brightened.

“Tell Shen I to be careful now.” Shen Xinglan opened up a file and ended the topic.

Only he knew if Shen I should be careful regarding the safety of A Miao or Jiang Hua.

The new job proposed by Jiang Hua was to have A Miao be his assistant. This was very attractive to A Miao because the assistant of a professor could participate in archaeological research and even follow the archaeological team to the tombs.

“Can we wait until the end of this semester?”

Jiang Hua thought for a moment before replying, “Are you afraid of people gossiping?”

A Miao nodded. “On what can I be your assistant now?”

“Are you so sure that you can get the highest score?!” Jiang Hua smiled. “Okay, if you are second then it doesn’t matter.”

“I will work hard for your job!” said A Miao while blinking.

Jiang Hua’s eyes darkened as he stared at her eyes. A Miao panicked. “What are you… what are you looking at?”

“Nothing.” Jiang Hua withdrew his eyes. “In fact, you are quite beautiful. It is better if you do some changes to your eyes.”

A Miao touched her dead fish eye. “I’m not a star. Why should I do cosmetic surgery to make me look beautiful?” She glanced around with her eyes. “It’s about time for me to go to the canteen for dinner or there will be no food for a while.”

Before she had even finished speaking, she hurriedly ran away without seeing Jiang Hua’s reaction. She did not know if it was an illusion, but A Miao thought that Jiang Hua just had a very strange look when he saw her eyes. Did he see anything?

Standing in place, Jiang Hua looked at her back, the corners of his mouth starting to lift. He was about to leave, but someone walked up next to him out of the crowd.

“Professor Jiang!” Bai Lu was wearing a purple dress, standing in the shade of a tree with big watery eyes looking at Jiang Hua. She knew that how she looked was most attractive to men, so Bai Lu waited with particular confidence for men to speak.

Who knew that Jiang Hua would only give her a light look and say like a teacher, “Classmate, don’t stand under that tree. There are worms.”

Bai Lu was speechless.

Looking at the man turning around and leaving, Bai Lu stared at him incredulously. “Professor Jiang!”

“Is there something else?” Jiang Hua turned around and asked.

“Do you… do you know A Miao?”

Jiang Hua looked at her with some amusement. “She is the best student in our department. Of course I know her.”

“No, no, no, no!” Bai Lu went forward a few steps. “I mean…”

“Classmate,” Jiang Hua interrupted her, “I don’t know which department you belong to. If you have something to discuss, you should go to your head teacher.”

After saying that, before Bai Lu could say anything, Jiang Hua turned and left.

“Humph, he’s not a man!” Bai Lu severely stamped her foot down and then quickly calmed down, returning to her usual appearance, and then left.

A Miao had a good time at school this week. At first, she was worried that Ji Xue and Bai Lu would appear to make trouble with her. Who knows why but she did not meet them once. Just as she thought that the two of them might have forgotten her, she received a phone call from Zhou Xiao when she left school on Friday.

“A Miao, I’m at your school gate. Come out quickly!”

A Miao scowled. “Why are you here?”

“What do you mean, why am I here?” Zhou Xiao shouted from over there. “I’ve come to see you go shopping! Come out quickly.”

After hanging up the phone, A Miao packed up and ran to the gate, only to see Zhou Xiao talking to Bai Lu with smiles.

“A Miao!” Zhou Xiao beckoned to her.

Bai Lu also turned to smile and said, “A Miao, Zhou Xiao and I said we would go to the spa together and you would join us!”

“We still have work to do. I’ll take a rain check.” A Miao glanced at Zhou Xiao, but Zhou Xiao ignored it. “We don’t have any business. We’re going shopping anyway. Let’s go together!”

A Miao was really angry now and asked her with a straight face, “You’re still going? Did you forget about last week?”

“No… no!” Zhou Xiao looked at the bandage on her head. “It was not an accident last time!”

Bai Lu said shyly, “A Miao, are you mad at me?”

“This has nothing to do with miss Bai.” A Miao gave her a look. “We are not in the same circle. You’d better go and play with Ji Xue.”

Zhou Xiao gave her a push. “A Miao, why do you say that? She has kindly asked us, don’t be like that.”

“What should I say then?” A Miao looked at her coldly. “You can go, but I won’t.” Then she turned around and left.

“A Miao!” Zhou Xiao was short of breath. “Do you have to do this? Then I’ll go myself!”

A Miao continued forward without looking back. “Whatever.”

“Zhou Xiao…” Bai Lu pulled her sadly. “Forget it, it’s all my fault.”

“It has nothing to do with you.” Zhou Xiao thought for a while and asked, “Should we go by ourselves?”

Bai Lu nodded immediately. “Yes! Let’s go, our car is over there.”

“What’s wrong with you, miss?”

Shen I saw that A Miao’s face was not quite right.

“It’s all right. Let’s drive.” A Miao saw in the rearview mirror that Zhou Xiao was in Bai Lu’s car. She withdrew her eyes and did not want to care about that girl.

Shen I had been sending people to follow Bai Lu, so he naturally knew what happened. However, they were very happy to see that A Miao did not care about that stupid woman, thus they did not need to mind Bai Lu.

Back in the villa, Shen I was listening to Shen II talk about where Bai Lu had taken Zhou Xiao, when he saw A Miao run down from the upstairs.

“Shen I, take me to Jin Lan beauty salon.”

In the dressing room of the Jin Lan beauty salon, Zhou Xiao was crying. As soon as A Miao entered, she rushed up and said, “Have you brought me any clothes?”

A Miao handed her the bag. “How did you lose the key to the lock?”

“I don’t know!” Zhou Xiao said gloomily while putting on her clothes. “Be perfect and come help find the missing key. I can’t find it anywhere.”

A Miao looked at her angrily. “Where is Bai Lu?”

“Don’t mention her. Halfway through, her family called and said she had to leave early.” Zhou Xiao got dressed and stood up. “We still have to find the key. My student ID card and meal card are all inside there!”

“Ask the staff, they should have a spare.” A Miao looked at the lock on the locker. It was a simple clasp.

However, Zhou Xiao snorted. “Don’t mention those things that look down upon common people. As soon as Bai Lu left, their attitude changed completely.”

“Go out and watch.” A Miao scowled. “Don’t let anyone in.”

Zhou Xiao asked curiously, “What are you doing?”

“Don’t worry about it, I’ll tell you when to come in again.” A Miao pushed her out.

After Zhou Xiao went out, A Miao found a small clip from the washing table and then went to the front of the locker and inserted the clip into it. The locker opened.

“Let’s go!” She took her things and opened the door.

She dragged Zhou Xiao out, who kept asking how she opened the locker. At this moment, a uniformed staff member came over to stop them.

“Excuse me, ladies, please stay here.” His attitude was quite polite, but not so polite as to the things he said. “One of our guests has lost something, please cooperate with us.”

Zhou Xiao pushed him away directly. “What do you mean? Just now, I lost my key, why didn’t I see you then?”

“Then how did you open the locker?” the staff member asked with a smile and undisguised contempt in his eyes.

“How do you want us to cooperate?” A Miao grabbed Zhou Xiao, who still wanted to shout.

“Please follow me.”

They went back to the dressing room and several women were waiting there. It was strange that Bai Lu was there.

“Zhou Xiao!” Seeing them enter, Bai Lu hurriedly went over. “Huh? A Miao is here!”

A Miao looked at her and asked, “What’s going on?”

“I don’t trust Zhou Xiao. I’ll be there as soon as I’m done.” Bai Lu first explained why she was here, then said, “A lady lost her ring.”

Bai Lu explained, “Everyone has looked through all the lockers, leaving only Zhou Xiao’s.”

A woman with short hair looked at them angrily. “What’s the use of searching the locker now? She has already opened it.”

“What do you mean?” Zhou Xiao was not calm as she pointed at and then scolded her. “With which eye did you see me? Do you know who A Miao is? Who would want your broken ring?”

A Miao grabbed her and said, “Don’t say anything.”

Since she became Shen Xinglan’s nominal fiancee, Zhou Xiao had been behaving like this. She wished she could hang the fiancee’s identity on A Miao’s head and show it around everywhere.

“Well, I heard that your key couldn’t be found, so how did you open the locker?” the woman asked. “If you can easily open your locker, who knows if you would touch someone else’s.”

Zhou Xiao looked at A Miao. “How did you open it? Tell her quickly!”

“Shut up…” A Miao even wanted to sew her mouth shut.
