Chapter 9: Has Anyone Said You’ve Changed?

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Jiang Yi did not expect that in her previous life, she had been strategizing on the international stage, but in this life, she had become someone else’s plaything.

Life had played a huge joke on her. She felt powerless in this situation where she didn’t know anything, but she couldn’t change it.

If she ran out now and told others that her soul had transmigrated, she would probably be pulled into a special organization for research in the next second and become a sacrifice for scientific research.

Or, she would be killed again by the person who wanted to kill her.

Hearing Jiang Si’s words, Jiang Yi slowly turned around and stared at her expressionlessly. “So what if I become a chess piece? If I become a chess piece, it proves that I have the value to be a chess piece. What about you? Do you have any value? I think you’re still very jealous of me.”

“What kind of bullsh*t are you talking about?” Jiang Si retorted.

Jiang Yi sneered. “If you’re not jealous of me, why did you find those people to attack me?”

“If I were someone unrelated to you, you wouldn’t care who I got engaged to or married. After knowing that I got engaged to someone, you were indignant and found someone to plot against me. You wanted to ruin this marriage. There’s only one possibility. You’re jealous of me.”

Jiang Yi walked around Jiang Si. “Let me guess. You’re probably very happy that I’ve become a pawn of the family, but you’re unhappy that I’ve become Fu Xiting’s woman.”

“Why? Are you interested in your brother-in-law? Have you watched too many eight o’clock soap operas or ethical dramas?”

“Shut your dog mouth.” Jiang Si pushed Jiang Yi away.

She glared at her fiercely. “Your entire family is like this. Your father has clearly separated from the Jiang family, but he hasn’t lost any of the benefits of the Jiang family. All these years, we’ve been the ones who suffered and took care of others. What about you?”

“Jiang Yi, don’t be smug too early. What’s waiting for you is behind you.”

After saying that, Jiang Si suddenly pushed Jiang Yi away and turned to leave.

Jiang Yi wanted to get more information out of her, but she thought that there was still a long way to go.

She did not chase after her.

On Monday morning, Lin Bo did not miss any of his international relations classes. When Jiang Yi arrived at the classroom, there were only empty seats in the last row.

When Lin Bo walked in, Jiang Yi looked at the person with half-white hair on the stage, her eyes slightly red.

What she saw was not only her former mentor.

What she saw was her youth and her previous life.

It was not like now.

She had no clue. She was like a fly leaning against the window. It was unclear if there was a way out.

“Are you all right?”

“Yes?”

Jiang Yi’s thoughts were suddenly interrupted by the person beside her.

She looked at him in confusion.

The boy next to her pointed at her face.

She raised her hand to wipe it and realized that her face was covered in tears.

“Tissue!”

“Thank you.”

“Sometimes, when others treat you badly, it’s not because you’re bad, but because they’re bad.”

Jiang Yi looked at the boy beside her in surprise.

Did he know her?

Or were the two of them related?

“The teacher is here. Let’s go to class!”

This class was very quiet. Everyone was focused on listening to the teacher’s lecture. At the most exciting moment, the professor suddenly stopped and looked at the students in the classroom. “What do you think the relationship between humans and countries is?”

There were whispers in the classroom. Some people raised their hands one after another to answer.

But they all seemed superficial.

As for Jiang Yi, she was too familiar with the scene in front of her. Once upon a time, she had become his student because of this problem.

Jiang Yi’s thoughts drifted. Sitting in the last row, she silently raised her hand.

“The student in the last row, go ahead.”

“Humanity can achieve its moral mission only within and through the State; the State can achieve its essence only in a struggle against each other.”

Even though Jiang Yi was standing in the last row, she could see the surprise in Lin Bo’s eyes.

Their eyes met, and the first to admit defeat was Jiang Yi.

She lowered her head slightly, not daring to look into his eyes.

She was afraid that she would not be able to control her emotions.

“What’s your name?”

“Jiang Yi.”

When everyone heard this name, there was an uproar.

As Jiang Yi became famous recently, she had long become popular on the university forum.

People who didn’t know better would think some outrageous gossip was being spread.

In the past, everyone had only heard of her name and had never seen her. Now, they suddenly saw her in person,

When they saw the person in the white T-shirt with a high ponytail, they were stunned.

Silence spread around.

The professor looked at her and nodded. “I’ve been hearing your name a lot recently.”

“Is it because I slept with someone’s father?” Jiang Yi mocked herself.

The silent classroom was suddenly in an uproar. Even Lin Bo looked at her twice.

It was as if he did not expect a female university student to be so calm. She casually took out her sore spot and exposed it to the sun.

“You don’t seem to care about the gossip.”

Jiang Yi didn’t care. “Just now, a classmate told me that sometimes, when others treat me badly, it’s not because I’m not good to begin with, but because they’re not good. Why should I punish myself because others aren’t smart? Besides, it’s just gossip. Other than life and death, everything else is a small matter.”

She had already died once.

What was the use of caring about these things?

Lin Bo was silent for a moment before nodding. “You’re right.”

When the class ended, Jiang Yi became famous again.

She had just reached the field when someone stopped her.

It was the boy beside her.

“Shall we have lunch together?”

Jiang Yi frowned slightly. “There’s no need.”

The boy was surprised, as if he did not expect to be rejected.

“You’ve been looking for an opportunity to treat me to a meal for the past few days. Why…”

The boy wanted to say something but hesitated.

Jiang Yi suddenly realized that the boy in front of her might be the person the Host liked.

For a moment, she was conflicted.

She was conflicted because he did not know what to do.

Reject him?

It seemed unfair to the original owner.

Agree? But at this moment, she didn’t remember anything at all. How could she agree?

“Zuo Fei, why are you here?”

Just as Jiang Yi was thinking, someone called out to this boy.

Only then did Jiang Yi know that his name was Zuo Fei.

“Yo, didn’t you say that you didn’t want to harm Little Junior? What’s wrong?” Someone teased with a smile.

Zuo Fei smiled and waved at them.

He turned around and saw Jiang Yi sizing him up.

“So, what do you think?”

“Well, since you said it’s my treat, let’s go!”

Outside Capital University, there were many high-end restaurants. Perhaps because there were too many rich kids in this school because the restaurants had many good food options.

In the restaurant, Jiang Yi sat opposite Zuo Fei.

“I heard that you’re engaged?”

Jiang Yi smirked. “Who did you hear that from? Jiang Si?”

“You know about it?”

“It’s not strange that I know.” She smiled lightly.

“Has anyone said that you’ve changed?” In the past, Jiang Yi wouldn’t smile like this.

Startled, Jiang Yi broke out in a cold sweat.
