Chapter 306 - 98: Pathetic and Ridiculous (Part 3)

"It’s really just a scratch."

Ji Li didn’t care; the medical staff only used a bandage similar to a hemostatic patch, which was easy to remove.

As Su Xiaocai said, it was a light injury, gotten while protecting him and Huahua from being scraped on the floor.

She had already cleaned it.

"Bandaging here is free, and you can’t see the spot yourself. If glass gets in, covering it with your hand like that will ruin it." Su Xiaocai wanted to say that Xiao Wanzi could help her check it.

Ji Li disinfected and sprayed medicine on her again, while she shared videos with Ji Heng and Hu Ping. They were real recordings, nothing to fear.

She warned, "Don’t go talking about this everywhere. Just discuss in your own dormitory to avoid any complications."

"We understand." They pulled Su Xiaocai’s communicator screen, and four heads huddled together.

Listening to the recording didn’t feel like much. A green tea girl’s voice in men’s ears is like a magnetic green tea man’s voice to women; it didn’t sound like they were putting on a voice.

Knowing that Xue Huiyi really delayed the annulment of the engagement by using people, the four men got goosebumps.

They couldn’t imagine Xue Huiyi using people and then discarding them.

Yi Suilu’s survival was also shocking.

"Eight hundred tricks." The complexity of these people’s minds was beyond what they could understand in a lifetime.

"Su Caicai, can you tell us how you thought of so many things, and if we are schemed against, how can we fight back? We simply can’t play this game."

"Call me Professor Su."

"Professor Su."

Su Xiaocai, who only intended to tease: "These guys aren’t fun."

"Don’t worry, when you’re in the same situation, you’ll know what to do. The environment changes people, but I’m an exception, don’t compare with me."

"Geez, that was as good as not saying anything."

Su Xiaocai snorted coldly, considering herself broad-minded and purer, an attribute granted by the current safe environment.

If you don’t have to use your brain, who wants to waste the effort?

But out of habit, she couldn’t stop doubting and thinking, pondering human nature.

So she always managed to bring an infinite sense of crisis to those displeased with her.

"I have a question to ask. Among the main branch of the Xue Family, is Xue Huiyi the only one in her generation?" The Xue Group is too large, hoping to completely topple it in five to six years is unrealistic.

It might be better to see if there’s someone who can inherit the Xue Family business and compete with Xue Huiyi.

"No, there’s also Xue Zhiyi." Hu Ping pointed at Ji Li: "Xue Zhiyi should be a bit older than Ji Li. He rarely appears in public, supposedly because of autism. Ahem, I used to think he looked down on people."

Ji Li nodded, "He has autism, but it’s not very severe. It’s just never improved, and the Xue Family could never make an autistic person the heir. There’s a rumor outside that Xue Feiting has genetic problems, but once the Xue Family took Xue Huiyi for a walk in public, such rumors disappeared."

"Doesn’t the second and third Xue brother have any children?"

Hu Ping: "No, they’re not married. Xue Feijun is a genius, not only skilled but also temperamental. He insists on liking women smarter than him. Xue the Third is a playboy, infamously wild, but he’s cautious. No woman has ever unexpectedly gotten pregnant to marry into the wealthy family."

Xue the Third could be termed legendary in the romantic arena.

Hu Ping added, "My father suspects that there’s no family property struggle in the Xue Family, possibly due to the second and third siblings not having children. Without heirs, there’s no motivation to fight."

President Hu spent the first thirty years of his life being destroyed by an imagined rivalry with a brain-addled father and a big brother.

So he believes that the Xue situation might be maintaining some kind of balance.

"Can Xue Zhiyi’s autism not be treated?"

With the arm wound wrapped, Ji Li tied a girly bow, and Su Xiaocai moved her shoulder, appreciating the good bandaging skills.

Ji Li discarded the cotton swabs and other medical supplies. "I don’t know, I heard it’s better. Now, Xue Zhiyi responds to the external world. A professor tested his IQ, which is very high. Maybe it’s so high that it’s hard for him to show interest in things. Music, painting, physics, and math don’t move him.

Without thought, listeners get a point, Hu Ping felt as if pierced by thousands of arrows, realizing that high IQ could manifest as autism.

"High-IQ autism desires communication, but Xue Zhiyi seems different, like he’s in another space, with some distance from people around him." Simply put, they don’t know how to treat it.

Just like his situation, money but no cure, unless a miracle occurs.

Ji Li took a deep blue clip, clumsily helping Su Xiaocai clip her unruly side bangs. "Alright, let the Xue Family handle their affairs. You guys are students; just do the student’s job."

"Brother Ji, you’ve been so focused on Caicai that you forgot about your little brother." Hu Ping teased, "Look at Ji Heng, he’s eagerly waiting. You haven’t scolded him today either."

Ji Heng was fed up, "Brother, I haven’t. I’d love for Ji Li not to notice me."

"Then why aren’t you going? The good dishes at the cafeteria will be snatched by the crowd." Hu Ping embraced Ji Heng, leaving with laughter.

Su Xiaocai stood up, "Thanks, big brother, I’m leaving. Have a good rest and sleep off today’s fright."

Now, you might not feel it, but when you’re alone, palpitations, fatigue, and fear will inevitably hit.

You have to overcome it, or it’ll become a forever shadow.

Ji Li nodded, "I’m still alright for now."

"If you still don’t feel good in two or three days, come farm with me, you’ll feel better."

Ji Li hit the nail on the head, "You just want a free laborer, right?"

"Keep it in, don’t say it, we’re still friends."

With the drama over, Su Xiaocai first went to check on her plants before returning to the dormitory.

As soon as the door opened, Wu Qingqing gave her a big bear hug, and Xing Miao didn’t want to let her go, "Darling, you’ve suffered again."

"Those bandits were so despicable, daring to take you as a hostage. Fortunately, you weren’t exchanged."

"Do you know how disgusting some people online are?"

From Su Xiaocai being a smart game maker, they turned her into a selfish and indifferent capitalist disregarding public safety.

Almost drove them mad.

Of course, many people still had normal brains.

The rebuttal against those online fake saints was reasonable and justified. One, Su Xiaocai isn’t a civil servant, with no obligation for the public’s life safety. Two, everyone seems to forget how young Su Xiaocai is; she’s still a kid everyone should protect.

Thirdly, how do they know Su Xiaocai didn’t make efforts? Not appearing in that scenario was the best approach; showing up would increase the work difficulty for law enforcement.

Internet trolls were amusing. While sharing today’s events with Wu Qingqing and others, Su Xiaocai checked her accounts.

Recording some trolls’ comments revealed a clear trend; someone was buying bots to slander her again.

So much money spent on smearing her, yet they repeatedly failed. Aren’t they tired?

Maybe those spending want to buy "happiness" with money.

The main account had too many followers currently, so Su Xiaocai thought it over and opened another account to sell fruits, one for gaming promotions, while the original account was still used for culinary sharing with Xiao Wanzi.

Upon hearing about Su Xiaocai escaping with Ji Li and fearlessly confronting danger, Wu Qingqing was filled with admiration and regret.

"Had I known, I would have gone with you." Wu Qingqing regrettably said.

"I don’t have the ability to rescue two lagging jars." If the cat died, she’d be sad for a while; if Wu Qingqing died, it’d be a sin.

Wu Qingqing replied, "Okay, I’ll work hard on my studies."

"It’s time to study hard. The competition will soon reopen. This time, you all should have a chance," Su Xiaocai said.

"Did Master get some news?"

"A guess." After meeting those old guys last time, Su Xiaocai had a premonition. If the war lasted two or three years, the competition would certainly be shelved.

But the war ended, and with too many sacrifices, replenishment was best from the students.
