Chapter 36: Chapter 36: You’ve Worked Hard

The middle-aged man reminded Elder Xu, who finally returned to the main topic.

Next, the middle-aged man asked, and Jiang Cheng narrated.

After multiple confirmations, the middle-aged man said, "Ms. Jiang Cheng, just act as usual, we will follow up on this situation. If you get any more information, please let us know while ensuring your safety."

"Don’t worry, I’ll put two bricks in my bag before going home!"

Middle-aged man: No need to go that far.

Jiang Cheng knew there would be background checks on her, but the original owner of this identity led a simple life, so she wasn’t afraid.

As they parted, Elder Xu once again called out to Jiang Cheng, bringing up the topic of learning other languages.

This time, Teacher Lü didn’t stop her; she also felt that Jiang Cheng should learn from Elder Xu.

"Elder Xu, I only have time in the morning now. If you don’t mind, I’d like to learn from you for a while."

"Great, great! Here’s my address. I’ll be here during this time, so feel free to visit."

Jiang Cheng thanked him after receiving the paper and, together with Teacher Lü, saw off Elder Xu and the middle-aged man.

After watching them leave, Jiang Cheng supported Teacher Lü and playfully said, "Teacher, I’m so talented that I’ll grasp it in no time. Don’t miss me too much during the day."

Teacher Lü was amused by Jiang Cheng, lightly tapping her forehead with a finger and saying, "Your mouth is something else..."

"It’s quite charming, isn’t it?"

Jiang Cheng joked, and Teacher Lü patted the back of her hand and said, "Don’t worry, I planned for you to learn from him anyway."

"You’re foresighted, wise beyond miles, I’m far behind."

Teacher Lü released Jiang Cheng’s arm, pretending to scold, "Give that mouth of yours a rest."

The elder and the younger exchanged smiles, understanding each other’s intentions.

Teacher Lü earnestly wanted the best for Jiang Cheng and the bigger picture.

Jiang Cheng sincerely respected Teacher Lü; no matter how many teachers she would have, Teacher Lü would always be the foremost.

Their bond was deeply rooted in the teacher-student relationship.

"Hey, you two, I’m still here."

Principal Wang, squatting in the corner, stood up again, leaning against the wall and stomping his numb legs.

Teacher Lü shot him a glance, and Principal Wang looked around, muttering without daring to meet her eyes, "I’m just lingering for a bit."

This familiar scene made Principal Wang, who had given up his office, sigh: ever since Jiang Cheng arrived, he’s been having worse days.

Night school dismissal time had arrived.

Jiang Cheng, carrying a backpack and holding a gong, walked energetically ahead of Lin Chengyuan and He Dan.

The two behind her were chirping and occasionally let out exaggerated fake laughs, deliberately making Jiang Cheng hear them.

Jiang Cheng, walking in front, had a slight smile on her face.

"Chengyuan——-hahaha——"

"Dong———"

The pure sound of the gong rang like thunder, echoing through the night sky, blasting in He Dan’s ear, cutting her laughter short.

"Jiang Cheng, you———"

"Dong———"

Another beat interrupted He Dan’s voice again.

Unwilling to give up, He Dan tugged on Lin Chengyuan’s arm, who didn’t look pleased, scolding, "Jiang——"

"Dong dong dong dong!"

Jiang Cheng struck the gong four times in a row, causing Lin Chengyuan and He Dan to cover their ears, unable to say anything.

Jiang Cheng didn’t look back and walked briskly forward, leaving He Dan and Lin Chengyuan fuming.

Returning to the courtyard, the first person Jiang Cheng saw at the gate was Grandma Shen.

"Grandma Shen, I’m back."

"Good, Du Yun has given birth, just over an hour ago. It’s a girl."

Jiang Cheng nodded, handed the gong to Grandma Shen, and went straight to Du Yun’s house with her backpack.

"Aunt Li, has Sister Du Yun given birth yet?"

Jiang Cheng called out loudly before lifting the curtain to enter.
