Girl, I'll Teach You Cultivation Chapter 149

Wang Xintong almost couldn't breathe and thought she would die in a second. She heard Jiang Xiu's ice-cold voice at this moment, "I'll kill you if you dare to talk rubbish again."
However, Wang Xintong looked into his eyes quite brazenly with a smile on her face, "Did I hit the mark?"
Jiang Xiu's reaction was enough to tell her that she had guessed it correctly.
She felt extremely shocked. Jiang Xiu actually liked his fiancée's elder sister!
"Do you think I won't kill you?"
Jiang Xiu's eyes turned pitch black as he increased the strength in his grip. It seemed as if he would really choke her to death. Wang Xintong's expression twisted from the pain as she hit his arm with all her strength to struggle free from it.
At the moment she was about to choke, Jiang Xiu slowly released his grip.
"Guha-Guahg-Gah…"
She coughed with difficulty and slowly recovered her strength while looking at Jiang Xiu with a complicated gaze; a sense of loss flashed through her eyes. She had heard that the more indifferent a person appeared on the outside, the more affectionate that person is on the inside, and they had intense emotions of love hidden in the depths of their heart. And the emotions hidden deep behind Jiang Xiu's cold exterior were for this girl.
"Don't worry, I'll never tell it to anyone…"
When Jiang Xiu had gripped her throat, she didn't find him to be that frightening and thought he was quite pitiful. He loved a person yet didn't dare to let anyone know about it. His first reaction was to silence her so it could remain a secret.
"There's nothing like that. Do you want to destroy my reputation?"
There was no way he could admit this matter.
"Go and prepare a cup of coffee for me."
"Okay!"
After saying that, she arranged her collars a little in front of the mirror. There were conspicuous scars on her pale neck. She traced them gently with her slender fingers. They gave her a faint sting when she touched them and thought he must have been really nervous just now. She took a scarf from the table and wound it around her neck meticulously so that the scars on her neck were covered up perfectly.
After going out for a moment, she returned back with a cup of coffee and placed it in on Jiang Xiu's table then sat down on the sofa. Her gaze was fixed on the screen, "She's a top student of the Imperial University. There's no need to worry about not finding a job."
"I also know that. It's just that the outside world is too complicated and she's too beautiful so she will easily provoke trouble."
Wang Xintong laughed, "Mr. Jiang understands the mentality of men pretty well."
"You're saying I'm a pervert?"
"You are not?"
After that night, Wang Xintong had associated with Jiang Xiu for over 2 months. She had acted intimately with him and occasionally danced like before for him. That's why she dared to say some things. If it were still the time when she had just hardly met him, she would've never dared to say these words.
"Of course, I'm not!"
Wang Xintong revealed a coquettish as well as a bitter grudgeful expression in her eyes while her cheeks blushed up. Jiang Xiu asked in return, "My sister, how did her interview go?"
Cheng Lingran's interview had ended. She stood up and expressed her gratitude towards the interviewer very respectfully and courteously.
"It went pretty well. I'm not saying it just to please you. She has a sharp and quick mind, understands the core values and is also pretty. If only she gains 1-2 years of experience in the company, she would definitely become a high-level senior executive with an annual salary in the millions. She's indeed Cheng Hanlin's daughter."
Jiang Xiu was slightly excited as well. In the previous timeline, Cheng Lingran had changed jobs often and never worked in a single one for extended periods of time, so her talent was never fully excavated.
Cheng Lingran left the interview room and relaxed her breath when she reached outside the door. It seemed like she was extremely nervous. She took her phone out after that then first called Cheng Lingsu, then her parents and then to Jiang Xiu.
Wang Xintong glanced at Jiang Xiu. The order of calls she made after such an important event revealed the importance of these people in her heart. Clearly, Jiang Xiu's position was at the back.
Jiang Xiu had also sensed this and thus felt dejected.
He answered the call, "Sister, how did the interview go?"
"I was super nervous. The interviewer was a professional and asked many difficult questions. I feel like I didn't answer them well. I might not pass it."
Jiang Xiu laughed, "It'll be fine. You are a top student of the Imperial University. If they don't take you, it would be their loss."
"Aaah. I still feel quite anxious."
"Where are you right now? I'll treat you to a meal!"
"I'm still at the interview location."
"I'm nearby as well so let's meet at the subway, okay?"
…
Jiang Xiu looked at Cheng Lingran who stood under the shade near to the entrance of the subway with a parasol in her hand. Her lively eyes seemed to reveal a smile as she saw Jiang Xiu sprint over towards her. She pulled his hand when he came over. It felt quite cold to him due to the effect of the inner core. "Why are you running on such a hot day? You'll sweat all over."
He walked beside Cheng Lingran. Jiang Xiu had an advantage of height usually, but Cheng Lingran had worn high-heeled shoes with a 10 cm heel today, so her height of 1.7 m had jumped to 1.8 m due to those shoes.
"Your height has surpassed mine within just a short time. This really injures my pride."
Cheng Lingran couldn't help but make fun of him, "You were very short before but the same as Sister now. As if it would injure your pride. Today's circumstances are special, so I wore formal clothes for the interview. I normally don't wear high heeled shoes."
"Your legs are long though!" Jiang Xiu smiled at her.
Cheng Lingran's legs were pretty long and seemed longer due to the high-heeled shoes. Her face blushed after hearing his words as made her pout at him playfully, "You dare to tease your sister again? See how I squander you."
Passing through the familiar streets, Jiang Xiu entered a small restaurant.
Jiang Xiu used to come to this place a lot with Cheng Lingran in the previous timeline. Their food tasted pretty good, and it was quite cheap too. It was a place where they both shared a beautiful memory.
At this moment, Jiang Xiu felt like he had returned to that life.
He felt quite spirited.
Cheng Lingran sat down and asked with astonishment, "Little Xiu, why do I feel you are quite familiar with this place? Have you come here before?"
Jiang Xiu shook his head, "No, I heard about it from my classmates."
Cheng Lingran's face was filled with doubt. Even if his classmates had told him the location, he couldn't have found the store by passing through the streets so familiarly. She didn't believe his words, but she also knew that Jiang Xiu had never come to the Imperial Capital before. Anyways, it didn't matter so she didn't think about it much. There was no way she would think that Jiang Xiu was reliving his life.
The dishes Jiang Xiu had chosen were Cheng Lingran's favorite dishes. She looked at him with a tender gaze, "It feels as if we are having a meal together like we did in our childhood."
But she sighed after that and was filled with worry again, "I wonder what's the outcome of my interview."
"I think you'll receive a message soon."
After saying that, he sent a message to Wang Xintong. The plan was to send it to Cheng Lingran tomorrow, but he told Wang Xintong to tell the HR Department to sent it earlier. Soon after, Cheng Lingran's phone started to buzz, "Yes. It's me. I can start working tomorrow?! Really?! Thank you! Thank you very much…"
She hung the call and leaped up excitedly, "Yay! Little Xiu, I passed."
Jiang Xiu felt as if he was a Devil King who had everything in his grasp.
"Didn't I say it?"
Cheng Lingran was as happy as a little girl, "My monthly wages are 18,000 bucks and that without the bonus."
"You'll have to treat me in that case."
Cheng Lingran giggled, "Don't think you can take advantage of the situation. You'll have to treat me this time. I still haven't got my wages so I'll treat you to food next time."
"Alright."
Cheng Lingran calculated with her fingers, "Wait for me to get my wages, I'll send 10,000 to my parents, 6000 to Susu and set 2000 for myself…"
Jiang Xiu could comprehend giving most of her wages to her parents, but he couldn't understand why she was sending 6000 to Susu and only leaving 2000 to herself, "Susu doesn't need that much, right?"
Cheng Lingran sighed, "I feel Susu has changed. She has become uncommunicative. The matters of our family have brought a big hit to her. She used to spend a lot of money before but doesn't spend much money now. Maybe she'll feel better if I can allow her to spend the same amount of money used to before our family went bankrupt."
Sometimes, Jiang Xiu wished Cheng Lingran didn't give so much thought to others.
