Chapter 2543 - 2479: Not Showing Off Wealth

Chiang Xiao took it, placed it on the table beside her.

"Teacher Ji, just tell me what you want to say. I have to go to class after this."

Ji Yuzhi glanced at the bottle of drink, sighed, and said, "I must say, Chiang Xiao, you’re really hard to please."

"Teacher Ji, there’s really no need to try to please me. Besides, I honestly don’t like drinks." Her taste had long been spoiled by the spring water and tea from her own space.

These drinks always tasted too sweet and unpalatable to her.

"But this drink is really tasty, and I brought it specifically for you. Are you truly unwilling to even have a sip?" Ji Yuzhi said, taking out a cup, poured a glass, and stuffed the remaining half bottle into Chiang Xiao’s hand, "How about we drink together, just in case you can’t finish a whole bottle."

With that, she clinked the bottle in Chiang Xiao’s hand with her own cup, "Cheers."

Chiang Xiao frowned.

Why did Ji Yuzhi insist she drink this?

No need to be so excessively enthusiastic, right?

She held the bottle but didn’t take a sip, "If there’s nothing else, Teacher Ji, I’ll head back to the classroom first."

"Hey," Ji Yuzhi quickly grabbed her, "there is something, there is!"

"Well, go ahead."

"It’s about Mr. Hu again. Mr. Hu is really puzzled why you’re not willing to accept that painting commission anymore."

Of course, it’s this matter again.

Chiang Xiao looked at the drink in her hand, unconsciously twirling the bottle, confirming once again that Hu Xiangyong and company definitely had reservations in the Capital City, otherwise, they wouldn’t need to be so indirect, sending Ji Yuzhi to persuade her repeatedly.

They could easily have someone abduct her, couldn’t they? In Country Y, they dare to openly shoot people, what else wouldn’t they dare to do?

What exactly are they fearful of?

However, this was good news for her. They wouldn’t dare act recklessly, and she would be much safer.

Thinking this way, Chiang Xiao felt a bit relaxed inside, realizing there was no need to stay so tense.

"Teacher Ji, I’ve already said, I don’t want to paint anymore."

"Why?" Ji Yuzhi found it particularly unbelievable, "Just that painting, fifty thousand, fifty thousand, you know how long I have to work to earn that much?"

"I don’t need money."

As she spoke those words, Chiang Xiao felt quite emotionally moved.

In her previous life, she was truly in desperate need of money, all kinds of needs, extremely dire.

That’s why she was always hustling at various odd jobs.

But now, she was able to say that she didn’t need money anymore.

When Ji Yuzhi heard her say this, it really made her feel a bit irritated, especially since this young girl didn’t come from a wealthy family but earned it all by herself. It made Ji Yuzhi feel she was truly falling behind.

Fortunately, though slightly envious, it wasn’t to the point of hatred.

"Chiang Xiao, right now you may not need money, but isn’t money the more the better? Besides, right now you don’t need money, but what if someday you need to spend big? Buying a house, buying a car, all those need big money..."

"Teacher Ji, I already have a house and a car."

Moreover, her house is about to start construction, with two yards connected, it would look like a garden. Even Chiang Xiao felt it was a bit luxurious.

Thinking about this, she suddenly slapped her forehead; she had forgotten to tell Tyrant Meng about the house yesterday.

Oh well, I’ll give him a surprise when he returns.

Upon hearing Chiang Xiao’s words, Ji Yuzhi almost spat blood.

"Chiang Xiao, you bought a car too?"

"Yeah, figured I needed it, so I bought it."

It’s not about flaunting wealth, but letting Ji Yuzhi know she really doesn’t want to earn this fifty thousand yuan. It’s genuinely normal.
