Seeing that everyone had dispersed, Gu Jiaojiao also pushed the wheelchair away. What she had said earlier was all true.
The original body had indeed reincarnated, and she was truly a soul that the King of Hell refused to accept.
As for whether everyone believed her or not, she didn’t know, but she felt clear in her conscience.
Among those present, only Su Shuoci believed her words. He had been holding her hand tightly from the start and still hadn’t let go.
The Sheng family had long ceased to be important to her. She now had a lover and family.
Not to mention that she had saved the Gu family, even without that, they were still her family.
She felt much more relaxed and natural with the Gu family than she had in her previous life with her father and stepmother.
Gu Jiaojiao pushed the wheelchair past Song Zijin without even glancing at him.
Song Zijin, still infatuated with Gu Jiaojiao’s beauty, didn’t even realize that she had already walked past him.
Song Zijie glanced at his cousin and saw him gazing obsessively at Gu Jiaojiao, yet not daring to chase after her.
He was probably afraid of the man by Gu Jiaojiao’s side. That man was a legend in their compound, and a ruthless one at that.
He had heard of Su Shuoci back when he was still an educated youth. Su was the most outstanding and remarkable child in the eyes of all the adults.
He had once scoffed at this, but now he found himself wanting to befriend him, though he didn’t know why.
Song Zijie’s position in the Song family was awkward. He wasn’t a bastard or anything; he had just been born with a weak heart.
Unable to attend public events, outsiders assumed Song Zijin was the eldest grandson of the Song family.
Song Zijin was indeed the eldest son of the eldest son, but not the eldest grandson. Song Zijie was three years older than him.
However, Song Zijie and his parents never cared about such things. It was only his aunt who was obsessed with it, always emphasizing outside that her son was the eldest son of the eldest branch.
Seeing his cousin’s lecherous expression, Song Zijie inwardly sneered. A man who was so fickle didn’t deserve love.
“Zijin, weren’t you at school? How come you’re skipping class? That’s not good. Your university spot was bought at a high price by Grandpa~”
“You? Stop talking nonsense.”
“Which part of what I said is nonsense? Did you not skip class, or was your spot not bought?”
“You short-lived devil are utterly unreasonable. I can’t be bothered to talk to you.” Song Zijin lowered his voice in anger.
“I’m unreasonable? Do you all have some misunderstanding of the word ‘unreasonable’? Gu Jiaojiao is such a good person, yet you all call her unreasonable.”
Song Zijie said this in a deliberately loud voice, wanting Gu Jiaojiao to hear.
“You… I’m not going to argue with you. I’m heading back to school for class.” Song Zijin’s voice was soft.
He looked up at Gu Jiaojiao, only to find that she had already walked past him without even a greeting!
Song Zijin was afraid that Gu Jiaojiao might have heard, yet he also hoped she had. His feelings were conflicted.
In the past, whenever Gu Jiaojiao heard others belittle him, she would stand by his side without hesitation and scold them.
Now, he wasn’t so sure. She probably would still defend him, but maybe she just hadn’t heard this time.
Even if she didn’t defend him, she wouldn’t be as aggressive as she had been with Sheng Shiwen, right?
She had once liked him so much. If Jiaojiao treated him like that, how would he handle it?
It was better if she didn’t hear.
Song Zijin rode his bicycle out of the compound. His university was outside the compound.
He had completely forgotten about buying cold skin noodles for Sheng Xinglian.
Gu Jiaojiao pushed Su Shuoci along slowly, and she had indeed heard Song Zijie’s words.
She was secretly amused.
Wow!
So the male lead in the book got into university by buying his spot? How could someone so mediocre become the head of the Song family?
Top students always look down on underachievers. She had thought the male lead in the book was impressive.
Turns out he’s just a paper tiger!
Did he trade his intelligence for his looks?
“Brother Su, Sister-in-law, where are you headed?” Song Zijie caught up with Gu Jiaojiao and asked.
“Hey! Song Zijie, what are you doing here? We’re going to sell cold skin noodles at the textile factory entrance.”
Seeing that Su Shuoci hadn’t answered yet, Gu Jiaojiao couldn’t help but reply.
Mainly because she felt particularly proud to be called “sister-in-law” by the black market boss.
As the saying goes, a woman who’s doing well is called “sister-in-law,” while a woman who’s not is called “miss.”
“I didn’t go to class today. Since I ran into you, I’ll go to the textile factory entrance and have a bowl of cold skin noodles too.”
“You’re still in university?” Gu Jiaojiao had thought Song Zijie was just a mountain goods trader.
“Yeah, don’t let my age fool you. I’m still a junior at Qingcheng Medical University, with three more years to go.”
Whether he’d graduate or not was another matter!
After all, the divine physician Jiang had firmly declared he wouldn’t live past twenty-five. Song Zijie wouldn’t easily share this with strangers.
“You’re studying medicine?” Gu Jiaojiao was shocked. You can’t judge a book by its cover. This guy was actually studying medicine.
She had thought the Song family would study business management, given that the book said they were the wealthiest family in Qingcheng.
“Yes, I’m studying clinical Western medicine…”
Song Zijie rambled on for a while, and Gu Jiaojiao asked him some medical questions.
Song Zijie couldn’t understand many of them. Though he was clever and quick-witted, he couldn’t fool Gu Jiaojiao, a medical genius.
She just suspected that Song Zijie hadn’t been studying hard. How could he have learned so little after three years of university?
Gu Jiaojiao knew that in the 1980s, most universities had a four-year system, while medical schools had a six-year system.
Song Zijie was among the first batch of students to enter university after the resumption of the college entrance exams. After three years, he shouldn’t be this mediocre!
She didn’t know that Song Zijie often skipped classes due to his poor health.
Nor did she know that Song Zijie wanted to earn more money for his parents and three sisters in his limited time.
Looking at the laid-back Song Zijie, she asked, “Since you chose to study medicine, why aren’t you studying hard?”
Song Zijie: …
Staring at Gu Jiaojiao, he felt a sense of guilt he had never experienced before, all because he hadn’t been studying hard.
Just as he was at a loss, a voice rang out, “What’s the point of him studying? He’s a short-lived devil. Gu Jiaojiao, you’re not thinking of seducing him, are you?”
“Auntie, stop talking nonsense. Gu Jiaojiao is already married to Brother Su, and they’re very much in love.”
Song Zijie’s teeth were clenched, his voice trembling with uncontrollable anger.
He was like an enraged lion. The person he hated most in his life was this aunt.
“So what if she’s married? How can Su the Cripple compare to our Song family’s sickly boy?”
Auntie Song was also riding a bicycle, deliberately blocking Gu Jiaojiao’s path.
Su Shuoci sat in his wheelchair, slightly lower than Auntie Song on her bike.
But he was tall and well-built. Even if he couldn’t stand now, his upper body was longer, making him taller than Auntie Song on her bike.
He looked down at Auntie Song like a god, while she was a devout follower who had worshiped him for ten years.
“Tell me, what advantages does your Song family have that can’t be compared?”
