Issues and Schemes

Jiang Yue stared at the man in front of her. She already saw him from her previous life!

Her memory is a little fuzzy as she was drunk that night. However, she is sure it was him. The beautiful man standing on the cliff planning to take his own life.

"Are you alright?" Fu Jin is concerned about Jiang Yue's silence. Her gaze is almost piercing. This made Fu Jin uncomfortable. Did she think he was crazy?

"Yes… I hmmm... I believe you." She declared. She is sure now that this man knows her past life. What she wanted to determine is how.

The possibility of him dreaming about her is too slim. But the possibility of him reincarnating is making her confused. If this guy reincarnated, then why would he help her? Is it just because she saved him once?

"I mean I will believe you… for now." She added. "Just promise me one thing."

"What is it?" He asked.

"Whatever you do, never ever hurt the Wang Family. I know that they will never hurt me." She said. If this man really knows her from her past life, then it only means that he also knows the people that will harm her.

"I promise." Fu Jin said. His eyes were full of tenderness and determination.

….

The night ended with Fu Jin driving Jiang Yue to the Wang's estate. To her surprise, her grandfather didn't even ask her about Fu Jin.

Jiang Yue went inside her room and straight to her bed. She is bound to have a sleepless night. She tried to analyze everything that Fu Jin told her. Still, she couldn't seem to find any holes that might satisfy her curiosity.

She is planning to ask the man more and more questions.

Jiang Yue had a night full of tossing and thinking...then turning and thinking.

What she didn't know is how another wave of schemes and issues is coming on her way.

…

On the next day, the whole school was in an uproar when they heard that their school goddess Jiang Mian is to be engaged with the Young Master of the Fu Family.

Rumor has it that Jiang Mian and Yu Chen broke up because her older sister Jiang Yue tried to take Yu Chen for herself. This broke the heart of Jiang Mian, making her decide to put her marriage in the hands of her mother.

Her mother immediately pacified her daughter and asked her to give Jiang Yue what she wanted. After all, she is her eldest sister. Lu Shi then accepted the offer of Young Master Fu to marry her daughter Jiang Mian.

Young Master Fu even asked Lu Shi to accompany him to Jewelry shopping!

When Jiang Yue heard the rumors from Shen Rong, she immediately burst out in laughter. How stupid can these people be?

Are they trying to put pressure on the Fu family to set an engagement to avoid damaging Jiang Mian's reputation?

Jiang Yue immediately called Fu Jin and told him about the rumors. Fu Jin told her about what happened at the mall and that he will immediately handle the rumors.

But Jiang Yue decline.

These people wanted to scheme their way into the limelight. Then why not let them do what they want?

They even used her as a stepping stone in creating those rumors. Now, a lot of people see Jiang Yue as a cheap woman. Someone willing to hurt her step-sister just to get what she wants.

Of course, these rumors were fueled by Jiang Mian's award-worthy acting. She told everyone that she broke up with Yu Chen. She was even crying while telling them how she hoped her Elder sister will be happy with Yu Chen.

Everyone thought that Yu Chen was forced by Jiang Yue. After all, Yu Chen's family is not as influential as the Wang family.

A lot of people saw Yu Chen leave with Jiang Yue and Shen Rong the other day, so they immediately believed the rumors.

Some students even had some pictures of Yu Chen and Jiang Yue entering a restaurant together. These pictures only showed the two of them and it is obvious that whoever made it cropped out Shen Rong on purpose.

When her close friends asked her about Young Master Fu, Jiang Mian would immediately blush and divert the conversation. This made a lot of people assume that Young Master Fu really offered a marriage engagement because he likes Jiang Mian.

"So? What are you planning to do? You know that they are slandering you right?" Shen Rong asked. She is concerned that these rumors will further damage Jiang Yue's reputation.

"Just let them play all they want. I have some more important things to attend to. I have no time to spare for stupid people." Jiang Yue answered nonchalantly while reading another programming book.

She is already preparing for her company. She will also meet her first employee next week. This thought is making her excited.

She couldn't care less about those people slandering her. In fact, all she wanted to do was laugh at them. In some way, the rumors are right.

Fu Jin did propose marriage to Lu Shi's daughter. However, it was not Jiang Mian but her. Jiang Yue wondered what will Lu Shi's and Jiang Mian's reactions be once they know that Fu Jin is acquainted with Jiang Yue?

And that Fu Jin is hell-bent on making Jiang Yue marry him?

Jiang Yue couldn't wait! The thought of face slapping those people was making her ecstatic. But she needs to relax and take her time.

After all, what could be more embarrassing than being slapped in the face in front of so many people?

In front of the very people who helped them spread all those rumors?

Jiang Yue gives Shen Rong an evil grin. 'Ah! Karma! Let me help you do your job!' She thought.
