Su Ran took a deep breath and finally replied, "Stop mentioning Lu Qingyan and I, it’s not good for Jiang Nanshu. She is right both morally and logically, but I am not."
Huang Ruanting replied, "Sigh, alright. Lu Qingyan is really blind, rejecting a pearl and tangling himself with mere trifle. Today, you weren’t at school, and something big happened. Cheng An was looking for you everywhere, he thought it was Jiang Nanshu who made you disappear. Without another word, Jiang Nanshu sent Cheng An to the hospital. I don’t even know if he’s woken up yet!"
She intentionally twisted the truth, omitting the part where Cheng An was the first to initiate the fight, but nobody cared because it was Jiang Nanshu who acted.
Su Ran was shocked. How could Jiang Nanshu dare do this?
She quickly scrolled through the photos Huang Ruanting sent her, in which Cheng An was bloody and his face contorted in pain.
So, the reason Jiang Nanshu was so fearless was that the Jiang Family was backing her.
That’s why she dared to act so recklessly, targeting her and even harming her kind friends.
This time, Su Ran felt a change in her heart. If she had been more assertive, maybe things wouldn’t have ended up like this. She suppressed the rising gloom in her eyes and finally typed, "I know. I will handle it."
Su Ran pondered for a long time and finally took out the business card Bao Yan gave her and dialed the number.
...
Near Mingde Middle School.
Fang Minghe drove to the area because Jiang Nanshu wanted to come here, saying there was a shop here that was good for business talks.
He haphazardly parked his Bentley, and after getting out of the car, Jiang Nanshu headed straight for the bubble tea shop—soft, sticky, bouncy bubble tea, here she comes!
Standing at the service counter, Jiang Nanshu ordered a cup of taro bubble milk tea and told the server, "I want to add pearls, coconut jelly, extra taro, and make it a large one, thank you."
Fang Minghe followed her into the shop, observing that there were mostly high school students coming and going, and the whole shop was so small that it was fully visible at a glance. Jiang Nanshu went ahead and ordered first.
He glanced at the row of orange plastic chairs and somewhat lost for words, commented, "Is this the ’good place’ you were talking about?"
This place didn’t even have private booths!
The crowd outside could see everything inside clearly.
Jiang Nanshu prodded her head, earnestly replying, "Of course, the more dangerous the place, the safer it is. My big brother won’t find us here!"
Seeing his speechless look.
Jiang Nanshu asked, "Do you want to try the soft, sticky, bouncy bubble tea too?"
Fang Minghe expressionlessly conveyed with his gaze that he didn’t really want to.
He only drinks coffee.
Yet there he was, holding a cup of bubble tea.
Jiang Nanshu even handed him a straw.
Sitting down, she gleefully sipped through the straw and asked contentedly, "Alright, tell me, what do you need me to do? Oh, sorry, I mean, what should I do?"
Fang Minghe sighed almost imperceptibly and resignedly sat next to Jiang Nanshu.
Seeing he wasn’t touching the bubble tea, she kindly offered, "Can’t figure out how to use the straw? Let me help you."
"No need... I know how."
After hesitating for a moment, Fang Minghe took a sip through the straw and then... a new world opened up.
This stuff was actually pretty good.
Jiang Nanshu looked pleased, thinking how could anyone not love bubble tea!
"This time I am approaching you about a Coral Sea endorsement. I want you to sign a contract to shoot this perfume advertisement."
Jiang Nanshu almost choked on her bubble tea.
She almost thought she was hallucinating.
"Shoot what?"
"The Coral Sea advertisement. This series is very important to me. I think you... would be perfect. Don’t reject me due to the Jian Family. We can discuss the price," Fang Minghe said, then calmly took another sip of his bubble tea, waiting for Jiang Nanshu to digest the information.
Jiang Nanshu was stunned, in fact, she desperately sought out Da Shachun.
"You explain to me why resources that should belong to the heroine are coming my way. Could he have mistaken the person?"
