Chapter 142: I'm Jiang Muye's Girlfriend

Boss Cutie

Jiang Muye, however, pressed his lips together stubbornly. "No need! Nobody can change what I've set my mind to!"

He turned and headed for the door without thinking.

When the counselor saw Jiang Muye's reaction, she decided he was being completely rebellious. "Jiang Muye, do you not want to graduate?! I'm so disappointed in you. When did you become so unreasonable!"

"You're the one being unreasonable. You've really disappointed me." Jiang Muye stood by the door, gazing at the counselor coldly. "I already told you I missed class because of a personal matter. I'll sort out what I have on hand and go to class, but you still didn't believe me, and you even sent her to keep an eye on me."

The counselor slapped the desk in anger. "I'm a teacher! Everything I think about is for you students, and this is what you say to me! Who have you been spending time with? Someone's been a bad influence on you, haven't they!"

"I know Student Jiang is totally focused on his relationship right now and not on his studies at all. I completely understand. After all, sometimes a girlfriend has demands that have to be met, or else she'll get angry. Student Jiang has it hard too," Xia Xiran said softly.

She took a teacup and handed it to the counselor, coaxing, "Teacher, have some tea and calm down."

"A relationship? Who's he in a relationship with!" The counselor huffed and puffed. "Even if he is, he still has to study hard. That's what it means to be responsible to your family! Anyway, this is settled. There's no room for negotiation!"

"I refuse!" Jiang Muye's temper flared too.

He looked at Xia Xiran coldly. "I need to correct a couple of things. First, I can handle studying and dating at the same time. They don't conflict at all. Second, my girlfriend has a great temper. She won't get angry, and she certainly won't be a bad influence on me."

Jiang Muye wouldn't allow anyone to slander the person he liked.

Not even Xia Xiran, whom he had once liked!

When Xia Xiran saw how fiercely Jiang Muye reacted, she bit her lower lip in a bitter refusal to accept what was happening.

She didn't like Jiang Muye taking Leng Ruoli's side and speaking up for her.

Jiang Muye's attitude drew the counselor's displeasure. "Why are you being so harsh with Student Xia? If you keep up this awful attitude, I'm going to call your parents."

Xia Xiran immediately put on a pitiful look and grabbed the counselor's sleeve, pleading, "Don't. Teacher, give him one chance."

Jiang Muye, however, was fearless. "Go ahead." He wasn't afraid of his parents being called at all.

The counselor was furious and was about to berate Jiang Muye when her phone rang.

"Hello." The counselor answered the call.

"Teacher, I'm Jiang Muye's girlfriend. I've been in the hospital recently, and Jiang Muye has been taking care of me the whole time. Please don't blame him." Leng Ruoli's gentle voice rang out. "I've already spoken to the principal about the situation. He plans to let bygones be bygones. I trust you won't make things complicated either, Teacher."

Leng Ruoli's voice was calm and soft.

But the softest voice was saying the most ruthless things.

Who was Leng Ruoli? The Leng family's heiress!

Her father was one of the school's investors and sponsored the school. He even held a quarter of its shares.

Offending Leng Ruoli was as good as losing your job. Not only would you be unable to keep working at the university, finding work in society afterward would be difficult too.

The counselor drew a sharp breath.

She felt this news was too shocking: the girlfriend Jiang Muye had mentioned was actually Leng Ruoli! This kid was something else!

The counselor hurriedly said to Leng Ruoli over the phone, "Don't worry. I know what to do about this. I'll definitely give you a satisfactory answer."

After hanging up, the counselor put away her angry demeanor and spoke to Jiang Muye in a pleasant tone. "I was being too unreasonable just now. Sit down, have some tea, don't be angry."

Jiang Muye had never imagined that after one phone call, the counselor's attitude would change so drastically—it was as fast as turning the pages of a book.

The counselor was all smiles at Jiang Muye, poured his tea herself, and said warmly, "My attitude was bad just now. Don't hold it against me. I also think it's too unreasonable for me to keep managing you like this when you're in university. You're an adult now. Naturally you can manage yourself."

"So what if you skipped class? What's the big deal? You can skip as many as you want!"

Not to mention Jiang Muye, even Xia Xiran was shocked.

She never imagined that the counselor, who had been so stern and irritable with Jiang Muye just now, would suddenly become so servile to him, even wanting to cut fruit for him to eat.

Jiang Muye narrowed his eyes and said to the counselor, "No need. I have things to do, so I'll be going."

"Good, good, good. Take care. Oh, right, you're a top student. I think it'd be too heartless to strike your name just because you skipped a few classes. I want to despise myself for such selfish behavior. This time, you'll definitely be given priority consideration for the graduate recommendation!" the counselor said to Jiang Muye with a smile.

Xia Xiran's eyes went wide.

She found it unbelievable. Teacher, where did your principles go?

She had been working her hardest for the graduate recommendation, and now the teacher was giving priority to Jiang Muye. What was all her effort worth?

Jiang Muye said coolly, "No need. I'm not interested in the graduate recommendation. Cross me off. I'll take the exam myself."

The counselor was shocked too. It was her first time seeing a student make such a request.

Jiang Muye really seemed not to care about the graduate recommendation, and left the office as he pleased.

Meanwhile, Xia Xiran looked at the counselor pitifully. "Then, about keeping an eye on Student Jiang…"

The counselor sighed. "He's not someone we can afford to offend. Let's just forget it."

After being turned down, Xia Xiran clenched her fists in a bitter refusal to accept what was happening.

She had struggled so hard to win the supervision spot so she could have contact with Jiang Muye, and now her dream was shattered.

Then why had she bothered writing that report letter and doing all those childish things? It was all wasted effort.

But this also ignited her competitiveness.

The harder something was, the more she had to accomplish it.

For example, winning Jiang Muye back.

After Jiang Muye left the office, he called Leng Ruoli.

He looked at the blue sky outside, his back against the wall, and smirked meaningfully. "You're the one who called the counselor just now, aren't you."

"That's right. I asked your roommate and found out someone reported you for skipping class. It started because of me, so of course I had to help you smooth it over," Leng Ruoli admitted very honestly.

"Ah, your face carries more weight than mine. You should know the counselor was really harsh with me just now, and then one call from you and she turned into a scared kitten." Jiang Muye thought of that scene, and the smile in his eyes deepened.

"I have to back up my boyfriend, don't I! I can't be dragging you down~" Leng Ruoli's sweet voice, even through the receiver, made Jiang Muye's ears burn.

Jiang Muye chuckled softly and answered, "You're right."

"So the counselor isn't giving you any more trouble now?"

"With a girlfriend as amazing as you, how would she dare." Jiang Muye said dotingly, "Now I don't know how to repay you for solving a problem for me."

"I heard there's a movie playing at midnight tonight…"

Leng Ruoli's hint was obvious.

Jiang Muye laughed. "You want to sneak out of the hospital again? Have you forgotten you're a patient?"
