Chapter 163 The Resentful Fiancé in the Academy 5
Jiang Wan's breathing stagnated, and the hand holding the pen gradually tightened. She was enduring it.
Until the entire brush broke in two in his hand, Jiang Wan tilted his head and whispered to Pei Shuchen: "I can't stand it anymore."
Afterwards, she slammed the table, rolled up her sleeves and walked straight to the crime scene behind her.
Jiang Wan directly grabbed Sheng Huaian who was kneeling on the ground picking up the book pages, picked up a book from the bully's desk and stuffed it into his arms, "Now, this book is yours, and the old one is not needed."
Seeing her standing up for Sheng Huaian, the bullies were instantly dissatisfied. Jiang Wan had hit others to protect herself, and they were unwilling to pursue the matter for Mr. Pei's sake. But since she was so nosy, how long could Mr. Pei protect her?
They have all found out clearly that Jiang Wan's family background is average, she is just an ordinary merchant family. It is not easy for them to take action against her because she frequently appears in public. But that does not mean they cannot take action against the Jiang family!
"Jiang Wan, do you have to stand up for him?" the white-faced, beardless man in the lead said sinisterly.
Jiang Wan nodded, showing no fear at all.
The man wanted to continue to attack, but when he saw Mr. Pei looking at him with an unfriendly expression, he hurriedly left with his men, only turning back to look at Jiang Wan with eyes full of cruelty and warning.
Sheng Huaian thanked her and expressed his desire to get to know her. Jiang Wan responded with a few words and returned to her seat.
She knew very well what would happen if she offended those people. She was not the young and reckless person she used to be. She was fearless because she knew Pei Shuchen would help her afterward...
But she hated this feeling, being at the mercy of others. Relying on Pei Shuchen all the time was not a solution. She had to find a way to improve the status of the Jiang family.
After much thought, Jiang Wan decided to change her attitude towards Sheng Huaian. She wrote a letter home, saying frankly that Sheng Huaian was diligent and hardworking, but his family was poor, and she hoped that his parents would support him in his studies... As the male protagonist, Sheng Huaian will have a day to shine sooner or later, and this can be regarded as doing him a good deed and adding some security to the Jiang family.
The original body behaved strangely, and Jiang's parents would definitely not ask too many questions about such a request. After all, supporting a poor scholar is just a piece of cake. If they didn't fulfill their daughter's wish, they were afraid that she would make a fuss when she returned home.
Most of the students in Huaqing Academy are children of high-ranking officials, and Jiang Wan cannot protect him, so the suggestion given in the letter is to sponsor him to study in other academies, but it is only a suggestion, and it depends on Sheng Huaian's thoughts.
On the other hand, Jiang Wan returned to her residence at night and began to write her own script more diligently. In this era where reputation is more important than everything, fame is more important than profit, and merchants' families are very humble. The Jiang family has only one daughter, and it is impossible for her to become an official as a daughter. Then she can only make a name for herself to earn a place in this era!
Sure enough, not long after, Sheng Huaian dropped out of school.
He only thought about the famous teachers in Huaqing Academy, but ignored the fact that these were sons of high-ranking officials and nobles. How could they tolerate a poor peasant boy like him studying hard and ranking far above himself in academics?
Originally he had no choice, but now that the Jiang family had extended an olive branch, he chose to change academy to study without hesitation.
Seeing Jiang Wan coming home early every day and yawning the next morning, and several times when the teacher asked questions, Jiang Wan could only answer with his help. Pei Shuchen's doubts deepened.
Finally, when Jiang Wan was once again nearly caught by the teacher for not paying attention in class, and was lucky enough to escape danger with his help, Pei Shuchen could no longer hold back the doubts in his heart, and privately asked Jiang Wan what he was doing recently?
It happened to be a day off, so Jiang Wan invited him to his residence and gave him the storybook he had recently written to read.
At first, Pei Shuchen didn't take it seriously, but when he looked at it carefully, he couldn't help but take a deep breath, his eyes full of excitement, "Jiang Wan, did you write all this?"
Although the writing style of this story is a bit straightforward, it has a novel perspective, profound thoughts, and is thought-provoking. It is no exaggeration to call it a wonderful book!
And this book was actually written by Jiang Wan!
No wonder she had no interest in listening to the teacher's lectures. Most of the teacher's lectures were boring and were mostly for preparation for passing imperial examinations. Jiang Wan had some ideas in her mind and was not interested in that, so naturally she did not want to waste her time in class.
She had already amazed him with her martial arts skills, and now she had shown off this one. Pei Shuchen looked at Jiang Wan intently. At this moment, he felt his heart stop, and then began to beat violently... How many more surprises would Jiang Wan give him!
Pei Shuchen's gaze was so hot that Jiang Wan's ears slowly turned red. She glared at Pei Shuchen unhappily and snatched the book back from his hand, "Why are you looking at me like that!"
"However, please don't tell anyone about my book writing. Wait until the right time. I treat you as a friend, so I told you this in advance. Don't blame me for saying the ugly words in advance. You and I know this. If there are any rumors outside, the brotherhood between you and me will be over!"
Pei Shuchen smiled calmly, "I will keep this secret. But I am a little curious. You obviously have such talent, why didn't you want to show it before? If you are willing, I am afraid that the whole Hanshan County will know your talent."
Jiang Wan supported his chin and sighed helplessly, "Brother, you don't know, I didn't want to fight before, but now I have to. To be honest, my family arranged a marriage for me, but that person is not someone I like. But their family is respected, my parents just thought they picked a good marriage for me, and they can't refuse it easily. If I can achieve something, my parents will definitely not force me!"
Pei Shuchen didn't expect to get such an answer. His smile froze on his face and his eyes gradually dimmed.
In the end, he couldn't say anything to wish her success. After a while, Pei Shuchen slowly said, "But you haven't spent much time with him, how do you know it's not suitable? Isn't this unfair to him?"
Jiang Wan looked at him deeply, with a bit of fatigue, "Brother Wei, I also want to spend more time with him, but I only have this one chance in this life. His family is prominent, and mine is just a merchant family. If it's not suitable, I won't even have the right to regret it."
"If you ask me, it's better to marry into a smaller family. If I have trouble living in the future, my parents can just support me!" Jiang Wan shook his head and became more and more excited as he spoke, as if he saw his own happy life in the future.
But in Pei Shuchen's eyes, this look was like a heavy stone pressing on his chest. Yes, he was too reckless before. He never put himself in Jiang Wan's shoes and thought about her situation. He also didn't ask her if she was willing, but rashly imposed his opinions on her...
Pei Shuchen tried hard to suppress the sadness in his heart, and moved the corners of his mouth to reveal his signature smile, "Then I wish my brother peace and success, and may all his wishes come true."
Since he was a child, there has been nothing he couldn't achieve. It is too early for him to give up now!
Jiang Wan thought this way because she didn't trust his feelings and felt insecure. He would prove to her that his love was not so cheap...
