“I don’t need it,” Jiang Mian said firmly.

"You really don't need me to come out and comfort you?" Gong Yan's voice sounded somewhat absent-minded; she was clearly still busy with work on the other end.

He was multitasking, talking on the phone with Jiang Mian.

"Really, there's no need. What's there to comfort me about? I've already died once, why would I be sad about something like this?"

Jiang Mian sounded nonchalant.

Gong Yan chuckled softly, "Jiang Mian, have I never told you that from childhood to adulthood, you've never succeeded in hiding anything from me?"

"If I go along with what you say, it doesn't mean you've lied to me; it's just that I don't want to expose you."

Jiang Mian gently bit her lip. "Fine, I want to kill them."

Jiang Mian clicked her tongue, no longer concealing her emotions in front of her old friend.

"I've already died once, and now that I'm back in the world, I still have to put up with this nonsense. I'll wake up in a huff from my dreams."

"Sometimes I really don't know why God gave me a second chance at life. Is it just so I can suffer in front of this man again?"

Gong Yan laughed on the other end of the line, but if Jiang Mian were in front of her at that moment, she would see that the smile on Gong Yan's face did not reach her eyes at all.

With a serious look in her eyes, she said to the person on the other end of the phone, "Maybe God is giving you this opportunity only for your son. So you need to figure out your own mindset and what you're really after."

"Of course I know."

"Don't let that man give you a little taste of sweetness and then you'll rush headlong into it again. Didn't you just say he gave you a car?"

"Hmm." Jiang Mian pursed her lips. "My own car, the orange one."

Upon hearing this, Gong Yan was taken aback. "You mean, your old Panamera? He gave it to you?"

"Hmm." Jiang Mian glanced at her phone screen, which displayed a message from Song Xun that had been sent not long ago.

“Song Xun contacted me and said that I can complete the transfer procedures when it is convenient for me,” Jiang Mian said.

Gong Yan narrowed her eyes on the other end of the line. "That's really interesting. Quite good."

Just as Jiang Mian was about to speak, she heard someone call her name from not far away, "Jiang Mian, you can come in now."

"Okay," Jiang Mian replied, then said to Gong Yan on the other end of the phone, "I have to go now, I have something to do."

After ending the call, I walked towards the Academic Affairs Office.

I didn't have a chance to tell Gong Yan on the phone just now that although I got a car, I'm not happy at all.

Because she was just taking back her own things, she probably didn't have any expectation of receiving a gift.

Jiang Mian was a little nervous as she walked into the Academic Affairs Office.

She had already heard that the dean of academic affairs was not easy to talk to, and that he was strict and somewhat arrogant.

No matter what you do, it always goes wrong.

Unless you have a very strong connection.

Jiang Mian didn't have any strong connections, and she was a poor student who had to drop out of school because she couldn't afford the tuition.

Jiang Mian had already anticipated that this trip would not go smoothly.

To my surprise, it went very smoothly!

I wonder if the dean of academic affairs, who has been demonized by the students, is in a good mood today?

Jiang Mian had originally prepared many pleading words with a smile.

But to everyone's surprise, not a single word was used!

The academic affairs director smiled kindly and processed her re-enrollment procedures.

Jiang Mian breathed a sigh of relief as she left the office.

She felt that her mood, which had been ruined by Yan Ke, had eased considerably.

It also saved a lot of time.

Jiang Mian took a taxi to Gong Yan's law firm.

I just stepped into the law firm.

Then I saw Gong Yan, dressed in a smart suit, come out with a stack of documents in her hand and hand them to her assistant in the cubicle.

Seeing Jiang Mian approach, Gong Yan raised an eyebrow. "Finished so quickly? Wasn't the dean of academic affairs supposed to be difficult to deal with?"

"Maybe I'm having a lucky day," Jiang Mian smiled, her eyes crinkling. "So I just happened to come and see you."

"You just happened to come by? What were you originally planning to do?" Gong Yan asked, casually taking a drink from the refrigerator in the tea room and handing it to her.

Jiang Mian smiled and said, "Isn't there a real estate agency downstairs? I'd like to find a place to rent."

Gong Yan looked at her with some confusion upon hearing this.

Jiang Mian said, "It's not too far from Luocheng Normal University."

"You're no longer staying at the mansion?"

“I want to try and see if I can…” Jiang Mian bit her lip, “slowly bring Xiao Shitou out. I’m not comfortable living in the mansion. Who knows when Yan Ke will come looking for trouble again.”

"Then you can either wait until I'm done with my work, and I'll go with you to the real estate agency," Gong Yan said.

"No need, I'll go ask myself."

But Gong Yan was worried about her, "Come in with me."

Jiang Mian followed her into the office, and was about to say that she could go by herself.

To everyone's surprise, a tall, slender figure stood up from the sofa in Gong Yan's office.

He had been sitting with his legs crossed in a lazy and relaxed posture, but now that he stood up, he looked quite tall and slender.

"Sister Yan, I..." Before the man could finish speaking, his gaze fixed on Jiang Mian's face. "What are you doing here?"

Jiang Mian also wanted to ask him this.

Why is Jiang Yu here?

“Uh, Attorney Gong… she’s been very helpful to me,” Jiang Mian said in a low voice.

Gong Yan glanced at her and could tell that she didn't want to reveal her identity to Jiang Yu.

Gong Yan pointed at Jiang Yu, "Instead of wasting your time here disturbing my work, why don't you help me take her to the real estate agency downstairs to find an apartment?"

"Looking for a place to live?!" Jiang Yu blinked, as if he quickly realized something, and his voice immediately turned angry.

"That guy Lu Bozhou, he kicked you out!?"

Jiang Mian was taken aback; Jiang Yu was quite good at divergent thinking.

Jiang Mian waved her hand.

Gong Yan answered for her, "She wants to rent a place closer to the school, and Yan Ke keeps giving her trouble."

“That old hag, she’s always been eating too much,” Jiang Yu said. “I’ll go with you to the real estate agency.”

It was something that could have been done by simply assigning any assistant to accompany her.

Jiang Yu personally accompanied her to the agency, but they couldn't find one that she was particularly satisfied with.

"Let me ask around for you. I'll call you if I find something suitable," Jiang Yu said.

"Thank you, President Jiang," Jiang Mian said with a smile.

“Just call me by my name.” Jiang Yu said, then, as if the aftereffects were kicking in, he looked down at Jiang Mian with a frown, “How come you’re so familiar with Sister Yan?”

"I..." Jiang Mian was about to speak.

The phone suddenly rang.

"I'll take this call." Jiang Mian glanced at the number on the screen; it was Song Xun's name.

She walked to the side and answered the call.

Song Xun's voice came from the other end, "Madam, when will you be back?"

Jiang Mian was stunned for a moment, then realized that when he said "come back," he probably meant go back to the hospital.

Jiang Mian hesitated, having just experienced an unpleasant encounter with Lu Bozhou, Yan Ke, and Qiu Fenglan.

Jiang Mian really didn't want to go back there.

Song Xun didn't get a reply from her, so he said again, "I just asked the director of academic affairs at the Normal University, and they've already completed your procedures. Where are you now? I'll have the driver come and pick you up."

Jiang Mian was taken aback when she heard this. "You... asked the dean of academic affairs?"
