20 Chapter 20

Jiang Moxi entered the classroom and indulged in the cookies Mu Wanting had thoughtfully prepared for her before she decided to check her phone records.

There were two messages from the same number.

Without even looking at them, Jiang Moxi deleted the messages directly.

When she checked the other records, she noticed that Yu Dingding had been calling her since last night, with five or six missed calls in the morning.

However, her memory was fuzzy, and she didn't remember when she had set her phone to silent mode.

Thinking that Yu Dingding might still be waiting for her response, Jiang Moxi decided to call her back before class.

As soon as she dialed the number, Yu Dingding picked up.

It seemed that Yu Dingding had been waiting by her phone, eager to know about her well-being.

"Moxi, are you okay?"

"I'm fine."

Hearing Yu Dingding's concerned tone, Jiang Moxi felt a pang in her heart.

Her family didn't even bother to call her after she didn't return home all night, yet Yu Dingding, whom she had just met, was genuinely worried about her.

"Are you really okay? Last night, I couldn't reach you, so I had the security guy check the surveillance. I saw Fu Third Master taking you away. I wanted to find him and ask for you, but Young Master Ye insisted that nothing would happen and that Fu Third Master wouldn't stoop so low. He even strongly discouraged me from looking for you…"

Yu Dingding was genuinely concerned, as she saw that Jiang Moxi didn't seem well on the surveillance video, probably due to ingesting something unclean.

She was worried that Jiang Moxi might have been taken advantage of.

But Ye Chen had been emphasizing that Fu Youhan had better taste than that.

Yu Dingding knew that Jiang Moxi's real appearance was very beautiful, but she didn't tell Ye Chen about it.

She understood that beauty combined with power, background, or talent was what really mattered.

Beauty alone wouldn't be enough.

Just like herself, before the Yu family faced bankruptcy, her beauty was an embellishment that made her shine in high society, attracting numerous admirers.

After the decline of the Yu family, she couldn't complete her studies, all because of her cursed beauty, which forced her to degrade herself into a hostess in the entertainment district.

For the right price, anyone could buy her smile.

She didn't want Jiang Moxi to end up like her, so she desperately guarded the secret of Jiang Moxi true beauty.

As a result, she found it difficult to speak in front of Ye Chen.

Moreover, Ye Chen strongly discouraged her from taking any action, making it even more difficult for her to do anything. She could only secretly contact Jiang Moxi to ensure her safety.

In Jiang Moxi's impression, Yu Dingding had always been a graceful goddess, speaking gently and leisurely.

It was the first time she heard Yu Dingding speak with such a fast pace and a hint of gritted teeth, which couldn't help but raise a faint smile on her lips.

"I'm really fine. I've already returned to school for classes. You must have stayed up all night again. Aren't you worried about turning bald? Get some rest. I'll come to see you later tonight."

Yu Dingding worked as a hostess at nightclubs, so she would usually stay up until four or five in the morning.

Only when the night scene closed down could she return home to rest.

Thus, she was extremely worried that her thick hair would fall out, even using "Bald Little Darling" as her WeChat nickname.

After confirming that Jiang Moxi's tone was relaxed and she seemed unaffected, Yu Dingding let out a sigh of relief.

She reminded Jiang Moxi a few more times before hanging up the call to rest.

Thanks to Fu Youhan's efforts the previous night, she had a rare good sleep, and Jiang Moxi hadn't been so clear-headed during the day for a long time.

She intended to take advantage of this rare clarity to see if she could come up with a prescription for hair care for Yu Dingding. However, her phone suddenly rang again.

Seeing the incoming number, Jiang Moxi decisively hung up and blocked it.

However, the person on the other end didn't give up and called using another number. Annoyed, Jiang Moxi finally answered the call.

The voice on the other end said, "Jiang Moxi, I really need to talk to you."

"What's the matter?"

"Let's meet and talk."

"I still have two classes. Meet me at the hamburger shop near the school after class."

After saying that, Jiang Moxi hung up the phone and set it to silent mode.

During the subsequent classes, Jiang Moxi kept scribbling and writing in her notebook.

Her desk mate, Mu Wanting, was puzzled.

The first slacker in the Technology Institute, Jiang Moxi, was actually taking notes now?

When Mu Wanting stretched her neck to take a look at what Jiang Moxi was recording, she saw a bunch of meaningless words like "bean sprouts and chives."

They had nothing to do with what the teacher had written on the blackboard. Mu Wanting patted her chest in relief.

Thank goodness, thank goodness.

Both of them were academic losers. If Jiang Moxi started to work hard secretly, she would feel pressured.

However, amid her relief, Mu Wanting felt that the "bean sprouts and chives" words that Jiang Moxi wrote in her notebook looked a bit like the handwriting of a doctor when they prescribed medicine.

But soon, Mu Wanting felt that she was overthinking.

Her academic performance had consistently placed her in the bottom fifth of the whole school. Therefore, her intelligence was undoubtedly incomparable to Jiang Moxi, who ranked last in school.

The words "bean sprouts and chives" that she couldn't understand, how could Jiang Moxi possibly understand and write them out?

Sigh, it must be because she glanced at the content of the textbook too much and exhausted herself, leading to this illusion.

Hence, she lay her head on the desk to take a nap and recover.

 --

The two classes quickly passed, and after finishing her courses, Jiang Moxi came to the hamburger shop near the school as agreed.

When she arrived, Fu Yiming was already waiting at a window seat.

He was still dressed in a suit, with his black hair neatly arranged. His appearance as a successful person made him stand out from the other customers in the shop, unconsciously drawing the attention of many.

Fu Yiming enjoyed the feeling of being noticed as if he was naturally a cut above others.

However, when he saw Jiang Moxi, who was still wearing unremarkable overalls and had a face with heavy and smudged makeup, a slight frown appeared between his eyebrows.

Seeing Jiang Moxi sitting across from him, Fu Yiming said, "Can't you at least dress up a bit nicer?"

His tone revealed his undisguised disdain.

"Young Master Fu is so wealthy, so why do you care so much?" Jiang Moxi retorted with a cold expression.

In fact, Fu Yiming couldn't help but notice that Jiang Moxi deliberately presented herself in an unappealing manner during their meeting, showing no regard for him, which could potentially embarrass him. That was why he mentioned it.

He never expected Jiang Moxi to have such an attitude!

Simply incorrigible!

"Let's not dwell on that. Order whatever you want to eat," Fu Yiming said, tossing the hamburger shop's menu to Jiang Moxi.

However, Jiang Moxi couldn't be bothered to waste more time with him. She directly pushed the menu aside.

"Just tell me what you want."

Fu Yiming actually didn't want to spend any more time alone with Jiang Moxi, so he got straight to the point.

"I heard you have a SereniFlex Pill."

Jiang Moxi countered, "Who told you that? Jiang Weiwei?"

The last time she discussed the SereniFlex Pill with Yu Dingding on the phone, Jiang Weiwei overheard their conversation. Later, Jiang Weiwei inquired several times about whether she had the formula for the SereniFlex Pill, so she casually lied, saying she only had one pill and no formula...
