Chapter 326: Chapter 326: Her Scheme 5_1

"Miss He!" As soon as he saw He Zhilan, Liu Jiang quickly put out his cigarette and approached her, "Miss Gu and the rest already grew restless waiting and went ahead. I bravely volunteered to wait for you. Otherwise, how would you even get there in this middle of nowhere?"

"Thank you." He Zhilan replied indifferently. But, right now she and the girl had no choice but to ride in Liu Jiang’s car, so they directly got into the backseat.

Liu Jiang couldn’t be happier to get He Zhilan into his car. He hastily started the engine and hit the road. He was quite pleased with himself for not participating in the race and waiting for her instead! He knew that even if he participated, he would end up left behind. Besides, he didn’t have good driving skills. It could be dangerous, and the car wasn’t even his. If he broke it, he would have to pay for it.

"Where did Gu En go?" He Zhilan finally gathered her thoughts after getting in the car.

"Miss Gu and the others went to Night Beauty for drinks~ We’re heading there now." Liu Jiang responded, "Miss Gu said she’ll be there waiting for you."

"I’ll pass. Take me back to the school instead." He Zhilan shook her head. Drinking? Where did she dare to go drinking with her alcohol tolerance? Besides, she just wanted to go back and sleep, she didn’t want to go anywhere else.

"Miss Gu said she’s waiting for you, it’s not very nice if you don’t go, right?" Liu Jiang looked troubled.

"Was Lan Song there?" He Zhilan closed her eyes tiredly.

"Lan Song?" Liu Jiang shook his head, "No, he probably had something else to do. Why don’t we go to Night Beauty and hang out for a bit before leaving?"

"Mr. Liu, Miss He is Miss Gu’s classmate and roommate, not her servant. Whether Miss He goes to Night Beauty doesn’t seem to need Miss Gu’s instruction, does it? Besides, Miss He is not feeling well now. Going to Night Beauty will only spoil the mood. Miss He has class tomorrow, maybe it’s better to drop Miss He off at school first."

The girl’s words left Liu Jiang without a reason to insist on taking He Zhilan to Night Beauty. After all, He Zhilan indeed doesn’t need to follow Gu En’s orders. If he insisted on taking He Zhilan there, Liu Jiang knew it would definitely make her upset.

That was not Liu Jiang’s intention. He wanted to get close to Gu En, but more so, he wanted to win over He Zhilan. Given the relationship between He Zhilan and Gu En, and the relationship between He Zhilan’s brother and Mr. Li, if he got He Zhilan, why would he need to stay at school and act according to others’ faces?

On the way to school, Liu Jiang never stopped talking. He told all sorts of interesting jokes to make He Zhilan happy, or discussed national and global affairs, showing off what he considered his broad knowledge. Or, he would drop hints about his feelings and interest for He Zhilan through ambiguous words and flattery.

Liu Jiang’s chatter gave He Zhilan a headache. The more he behaved like this, the more shallow he appeared in her eyes, and the more she felt self-mockery. Was she blind in her previous life? How could she have fallen for such a man?

Could Liu Jiang even compare to her He Teng? Aside from having more years of education and a more prestigious job than He Teng, and being a bit fairer than him, what else about Liu Jiang could match He Teng?
