He transmigrated into the body of the school heartthrob's spoiled ex-girlfriend, and he insiste

The twenty-ninth day of the twelfth lunar month.

The day before Lunar New Year's Eve.

Jiang Ci moved the last box of fruit into the trunk.

The trunk of the black Phaeton was packed full.

Besides the bird's nest and ginseng she bought at the supermarket that day, there was also a bunch of snacks that Wen Ning insisted on bringing, and even hand warmers and an electric blanket that she secretly slipped in.

"Let's go."

Jiang Ci closed the trunk and went around to the driver's seat.

Wen Ning sat in the passenger seat.

Today she wore a white cashmere coat that was very inconvenient for working, and lambskin boots.

Her makeup was exquisite, and she even wore perfume.

This is the "inspection makeup" required by the system.

"seat belt."

Jiang Ci offered a reminder.

Wen Ning fastened his seatbelt.

Take a deep breath.

I started reciting the script in my mind:

Once they arrived at their destination, no matter how dilapidated the place was, they immediately complained about how difficult the road was to travel.

Upon entering, they complained about the mud on their shoes.

They complain that the bowls and chopsticks are not clean when they eat.

I dislike that the bed is too hard when I sleep.

If she acts ruthlessly enough, Jiang Ci's parents will definitely turn against her.

Jiang Ci will be caught in the middle, which will definitely be very awkward.

And then...they broke up.

Wen Ning looked at the receding scenery outside the window, her eyes filled with a sense of tragic grandeur.

Jiang Ci, I'm sorry.

I'm really doing this for your own good.

The car started.

Enter the main road.

Wen Ning originally thought they would drive out of the city.

After all, according to the setting, Jiang Ci is a "noble son from a poor family".

In City A, where land is incredibly valuable, being from a poor family usually means living in a remote suburb or even a neighboring county hundreds of kilometers away.

however.

Half an hour later.

Wen Ning sensed something was wrong.

The car did not enter the highway.

They didn't drive into the urban-rural fringe areas either.

instead……

Are they heading towards the city center?

Moreover, it is located in the core area of ​​the city center.

Within the Second Ring Road.

The view outside the window changed from skyscrapers to antique gray walls and blue tiles.

The locust trees lining both sides of the street are bare, yet they exude a profound sense of history.

There are fewer and fewer cars on the road.

But every passing car had a license plate with a number that looked like it was something you didn't want to mess with.

"Jiang Ci..."

Wen Ning couldn't help but speak up.

She pointed to the Drum Tower, which was faintly visible in the distance, and the frozen lake outside the window.

The voice trembled slightly.

"Did you... take the wrong turn?"

"Is this Houhai?"

"Drive further in... that's where those big shots live."

She wanted to say that this is a protected area.

It is a courtyard house area.

It's a top-tier luxury residential area where even a single house can be calculated in the hundreds of millions.

Even if you have the money, you can't buy it.

Jiang Ci held the steering wheel with one hand.

His expression was calm.

"You didn't go to the wrong place."

He turned on his turn signal and turned into a quiet alley.

The alley is wide enough for two cars to pass side by side.

There were no messy utility poles on either side, only neat blue brick walls and imposing security posts.

"This is the way home."

He spoke calmly.

It's as natural as saying, "This is the way to the market."

Wen Ning's heart began to race.

A premonition that was both utterly absurd and utterly real welled up inside me.

"You live... here?"

Her voice changed.

"Um."

Jiang Ci glanced at the navigation (which was actually unnecessary).

"Turn left up ahead and you'll arrive."

Wen Ning dared not speak.

She stared intently ahead.

The car turned the corner.

A magnificent and imposing mansion suddenly came into view.

That's not an ordinary courtyard house.

It was a standard, three-entrance, three-exit mansion-style gate.

The vermilion gate was tightly shut, with fist-sized copper nails on it.

Two majestic stone lions crouch at the entrance.

There were even security personnel in uniform (who looked like veterans) standing guard at the entrance.

The Phaeton gradually slowed down.

It stopped in front of the gate.

The license plate recognition system automatically senses the vehicle.

The heavy, vermilion-lacquered gate hummed softly as it slowly opened to both sides.

It revealed the meticulously manicured garden landscape inside, as well as the powerful and vigorous characters "Jiang Mansion" on the screen wall.

Wen Ning: "..."

【warn!warn! 】

The system in my mind emitted a piercing electrical sound.

That's a sign of data corruption.

[Map data error! Coordinate detection anomaly!]

[Current valuation: 99999999+!]

[System determination: This is...this is...the ancestral home of a top-tier wealthy family in Beijing?!]

[Beep—System crash.]

Wen Ning's brain also crashed.

She stiffly turned her neck.

Looking at Jiang Ci, who was unbuckling his seatbelt.

"you……"

She swallowed hard and pointed to the courtyard outside, which looked like a palace.

"You call this...being from a poor family?"

"Do you own a mine?"

Jiang Ci unbuckled his seatbelt.

He turned to look at her.

Seeing her horrified expression, I couldn't help but chuckle.

"There are no mines."

He answered truthfully.

"Our family doesn't run a mining business."

Wen Ning breathed a sigh of relief.

Before she could even catch her breath...

Jiang Ci added another sentence:

"We mainly focus on technology, finance, and real estate."

"This house was passed down from my great-grandfather; it's ancestral property."

Wen Ning: "..."

Ancestral property.

The ancestral property in this area.

That's even scarier than owning a mine!

"Get off the bus."

Jiang Ci opened the car door.

A gust of cold wind blew in, but it couldn't clear the stale air from Wen Ning's head.

Her prepared script—

They disliked the dilapidated state of the house.

They complained that there was no heating.

Dislike the toilet because it's dirty.

Now look at this courtyard in front of me, where even the floor tiles are carved with flowers.

Looking at the lanterns hanging in the corridor, they were clearly antiques.

Looking at the pine and cypress trees that remain lush and green even in winter.

She has no complaints whatsoever!

This environment is a hundred times better than the Zhou family villa!

This is not about suffering in the slums.

This is clearly a clandestine visit to the palace!

Jiang Ci walked around and opened the car door for her.

He reached out his hand to her.

"Get down."

Seeing that she didn't move, they assumed she was shy.

"Don't be afraid."

He took her cold hand and led her out.

"There aren't many people in my family."

"It's just Grandpa, and Mom and Dad."

"The house is a bit old and the soundproofing isn't very good. The only good thing is that the yard is big, but it's a bit tiring to walk around in."

He spoke casually.

It even carries a sense of "this is just an ordinary house" about Versailles.

Wen Ning stood on the steps.

Looking at this mansion, which is "just a bit big in the yard".

My legs feel a little weak.

It’s over.

The script completely fell apart.

How can they portray "snobbishness and greed" like this?

If she dared to say "Your house is so shabby" now, she'd probably be struck by lightning.

and……

She looked at Jiang Ci's excessively handsome face.

original.

He is not only a top student.

More than just a potential stock.

He is still a genuine prince at the top of the pyramid.

"Jiang Ci..."

Wen Ning held his hand, wanting to cry.

"You've been hiding it so well..."

Jiang Ci raised an eyebrow.

He led her inside.

"Nothing was hidden."

"It's because you've never asked."

"and……"

He lowered his head and whispered in her ear:

"No matter how big this place is, it will always be your home."
