Chapter 627: 332 Make Preparations

“Sister Xue, we’ve found two groups of acquaintances here.”

In a small inn at Siji Town, the cramped and dilapidated room was hard to breathe in, with peeling walls and an unpleasant musty smell.

Zhou Xue covered her mouth and nose with a handkerchief, standing by the window.

At dusk, there were still many pedestrians on the street, and the distant Baitou Mountain revealed its delicate silhouette.

Zhou Xue frowned.

Xie Wei said, “It’s Zhu Xiangxiang and the Ye Jian siblings.”

“Zhu Xiangxiang is here to investigate Ming Jing’s identity, and the Ye Jian siblings...”

Zhou Xue’s eyebrows knitted together, “The only possibility is that they’ve come for that bastard.”

As for her, she was here to investigate the bastard from thirteen years ago.

Things were getting weirder; three groups of people all ended up focusing on this obscure little town. All the clues seemed to come to an abrupt stop here.

“Is it a coincidence?” A strong sense of unease grew in Zhou Xue’s heart.

“Follow Ye Jian and see what he’s found.”

“Don’t you know? She just won a gold medal at the CMO and is guaranteed admission to Huaqing University. If you could get into Huaqing University, would you still care about Jiangzhou University? So, I guess we’re not really losing out here.”

“I heard she’s very pretty. I wonder who’s prettier between her and our school’s beauty queen.”

Hu Guo’er smiled at the remark: “What’s there to compare between us?” Her tone still carried a hint of disdain.

The girls around Hu Guo’er exchanged glances, saying nothing.

Everyone had hailed her as the school beauty queen, but she seemed to have taken it to heart, thinking that even Ming Jing wouldn’t measure up. Who gave her the audacity?

Her father was one of the university’s higher-ups, so no one dared to mess with her. Therefore, people could only grumble in their hearts, continuing to flatter her outwardly.

Hu Guo’er’s eyes suddenly lit up, and she dropped her chopsticks to catch up.

Everyone saw the tall and slender figure in the distance and instantly understood.

Whenever Hu Guo’er saw Jiang Jinchen, she was just like a cat spotting a mouse—she couldn’t wait to pounce on and swallow him whole.

That wasn’t to say Jiang Jinchen was afraid of Hu Guo’er. On the contrary, the scene of her being rejected in the library was still fresh in everyone’s minds, and Hu Guo’er was laughed at on the forum for three days.

“Our school’s beauty queen really doesn’t know how to be reserved. If only she could learn from Lin Ya, she might have had a chance.”

“Lin Ya is simply in close proximity to Jiang Jinchen. In my opinion, he isn’t interested in either of them. I heard his family is a big clan in Jingzhou, and they’re very influential. Our beauty queen’s family background isn’t even worthy of tying Jiang Jinchen’s shoes, let alone Lin Ya, who comes from a small town.”

“Even if they’re just playing around, if she were really taken home, just imagine how Madam Jiang would kick her out. It’s always like this on TV—either they throw money at her to leave their son, or...”
