The tycoon's wicked wife from the era of literature has been reborn.

Chapter 69 Who Came Looking for Her? (Please Vote!)
Jiang Baohai came out of the factory workers' compound. Seeing that it was still early, he hesitated for a moment and then walked towards the county's No. 1 Middle School.

The students had just finished class at this time.

The school cafeteria only provides breakfast and lunch; students eat dinner outside.

Day students went home together for dinner.

Boarding students also have their own regular meal partners, and the small shops near the school gate are full of students playing around.

However, a large number of students still choose to buy a two-cent serving of white rice and eat it with pickled vegetables they brought from home back in their dormitories, barely managing to make do with dinner.

Jiang Yu is not short of money. At least since her brother went from a dirty miner to a well-known nouveau riche in the county, she has more pocket money than the children of all-employee families in the county.

Jiang Baohai naturally assumed that his younger sister was probably having dinner with her classmates at one of the small restaurants near the school gate.

He walked and looked around, but when he arrived at the school gate, he still couldn't find Jiang Yu.

"You finished eating and went back to the classroom so quickly?" Jiang Baohai muttered.

Given Jiang Yu's taciturn personality, it's impossible for her to use her pocket money to go shopping.

Unless it's a school tool.

But he had just passed by the bookstore and hadn't seen anyone there.

"Hey! What are you doing!"

The gatekeeper noticed Jiang Baohai loitering around the gate, dressed like a gangster.

He clearly didn't look like a student, and his age was even less likely to be that of a student's parent. I gave him a wary shout.

Jiang Baohai looked at him, his expression somewhat conflicted.

Should we ask the security guard to announce Jiang Yu over the loudspeaker?
In her past life, Jiang Yu hated him so much that she went abroad and never returned. Jiang Baohai could never understand what kind of resentment she harbored.

He was nine years older than Jiang Yu, and his father died unexpectedly in the line of duty when he was fifteen.

Jiang Yu was only six years old at the time, and all her expenses, from her studies to her food and clothing, were covered by his salary.

Jiang Baohai has every right to say that he raised Jiang Yu.

So when he learned that Jiang Yu was going to disown him as her brother, he felt like he had raised an ungrateful wretch!
As a result, he was no longer willing to take care of his ungrateful younger sister.

Now that he has a second chance, Jiang Baohai wants to untie this knot in his heart that he can't untie.

Even if he can't figure it out, he still wants to know why.

Jiang Baohai recalled every detail he could remember from his previous life.

He noticed that Jiang Yu started acting strangely from the year she went to high school in the city.

Coincidentally, that was also the time when he truly earned his first pot of gold.

Even though the family's financial situation has improved, why has the person's condition deteriorated?

Jiang Baohai walked to the window of the guardhouse and, under the old man's scrutinizing gaze, smiled and handed him a pack of cigarettes.

This is his habit when meeting people for the first time; after all, you can't hit a smiling face, and you're obligated to help someone who's giving you something.

He then revealed that he was the older brother of one of the students inside, his biological brother, not some frivolous older brother.

The gatekeeper's attitude became noticeably kinder.

He glanced at the pack of cigarettes Jiang Baohai handed him. Although it was only half a pack, it came in a metal box and looked expensive.

Even people who don't like smoking know it's a good thing.

"Who are you looking for?" the old man asked as he quickly stuffed the cigarette pack into his pocket.

"Jiang Yu from Class 6, Grade 11, tell her brother came looking for her."

"Wait a minute, tell her that her family is looking for her."

Who knows if this little brat already holds a grudge against him? What if she refuses to come out as soon as she hears it's him? It would be a waste of time.

The old man gave an OK sign to indicate that he understood, picked up the phone and dialed the person in charge of the broadcasting room, asking them to call the students.

A moment later, the loudspeaker at the county's No. 1 High School broadcast—

"Jiang Yu from Class 6, Grade 11! Your family is looking for you. If you hear the announcement, go to the guardhouse immediately!"

"Jiang Yu, Class 6, Grade 1! Your family is looking for you."

It was broadcast three times in a row.

Meanwhile, in the school's women's restroom.

A short-haired girl wearing glasses is doing her cleaning duty, holding a mop and looking down.

Several female students, not wearing their school uniforms properly, stood by the washbasin, chatting and laughing, occasionally glancing at it with mocking disdain. When the announcement came over the loudspeaker, the short-haired girl looked up in surprise.

Several female students looked at each other in bewilderment in front of the washbasin.

After a while, the girl with the high ponytail who was in the lead chuckled and winked at the others.

Four or five girls stood in a row at the bathroom exit, blocking the way, and looked at the short-haired girl coming out of the bathroom with their arms crossed, looking at her with a mocking expression.

The broadcast stopped after being repeated three times, with only a faint crackling sound coming from the loudspeaker under the eaves of the public toilet.

Soon, the slight electrical hum disappeared completely.

The women's restroom was very quiet, with only the sound of the girl's anxious breathing.

"Step aside!"

She finally couldn't hold back and pushed away the tall girl with a high ponytail who was taller than her.

The girl with the high ponytail stumbled as she was pushed, and her expression changed drastically instantly.

But the short-haired girl, emboldened by some unknown source, pressed her advantage, shoved her aside, and ran quickly outside.

In the quiet teaching building, only the sound of the short-haired girl running quickly echoed.

The girl with the high ponytail scoffed, "You nouveau riche, you're really ill-mannered!"

These words reached the ears of the short-haired girl who was running wildly.

She took off her glasses, which were about to fly off, gritted her teeth, and resisted the urge to argue.

Because she knew very well that she was outnumbered and outmatched, and if she completely angered those girls, she would face an even more severe attack.

Now they only play pranks on her occasionally, and occasionally corner her to make a few sarcastic remarks.

They didn't actually do anything.

"Just bear with it a little longer," the short-haired girl comforted herself.

Looking up at the school gate not far ahead, I saw a figure outside.

Who came to see her?
Mom?

"Jiang Yu!"

A familiar voice came from behind, and the short-haired girl running towards it looked on in disbelief.

Her brother actually came to the school?

He's only concerned with making money from mining; you can never find him. He just throws her living expenses on the table every month without fail. When has he ever cared about her?

So Jiang Yu's first reaction upon seeing her brother was that something must have happened at home.

"What's wrong, Mom?"

She rushed out of the school gate, looked up, and questioned him.

Jiang Baohai's hard-won gentle expression instantly turned cold when he saw this criminal-like look.

He told himself not to bring the feelings from his past life into the present, and that made him feel a little better.

"Mom's fine, how are you? Have you eaten?"

Hearing that it had nothing to do with her mother, Jiang Yu visibly breathed a sigh of relief.

But then she felt something even stranger.

He put his glasses back on, as if to take a closer look at whether his body had been possessed by a monster.

Jiang Baohai was speechless, but seeing Jiang Yu being so childish, he felt a sense of relief.

It seems there's still time.

"Come on, I'll take you to eat." Jiang Baohai looked up and gestured for her to follow.

Jiang Yu had confirmed that his brother was not possessed by a demon, and asked suspiciously:

"What are you doing here? When do busy people like you have time for this?"

Anyway, I definitely didn't come here specifically for her.

Jiang Baohai coughed lightly, feeling uneasy. "Kids shouldn't ask so many questions."

It's almost the end of the month, so if you have any votes, please vote for the "evil girl" (a popular online figure in Taiwan). Thank you, my darlings!
