Old Liu and his colleagues knew very well the nature of these debt collectors; once they took the bait, they wouldn't let go easily.

They can't possibly stay here every day.

But Jiang Mian's younger brother couldn't possibly stop going to school.

Moreover, in Lao Liu's and the others' view, Jiang Mian saved the young master's life and almost crippled him.

This is a great achievement.

With such merit, it shouldn't be a problem for the BOSS to ask Assistant Song for help.

But Jiang Mian hesitated.

“But…” she gently bit her lip.

Jiang Feng frowned and said, "No need, thank you."

He didn't want to affect his sister's work.

Actually, if it weren't for what happened today...

If she were in a situation like Jiang Feng's, she might actually ask Lu Bozhou for help.

She wasn't so aloof as to stubbornly insist on solving a problem she clearly couldn't handle.

But today, we happened to encounter the same situation as on the third floor before.

Unfortunately, Lu Bozhou was in a fit of anger.

Jiang Mian hesitated, not wanting to add fuel to the fire, nor wanting to give Lu Bozhou any reason to do so.

Because Lu Bozhou has no intention of terminating the contract with her.

But if Lu Bozhou were to tell her that he would help her resolve this matter as a way of thanking her for saving Lu Chaochi, and that they could go their separate ways from now on...

Old Liu noticed her hesitation. "Are you worried that the boss is still angry?"

Jiang Mian nodded gently.

Xiao Chen thought for a moment and said from the side, "I don't think they'll come over again today. Maybe when they come to cause trouble next time, the BOSS will have calmed down by then? We can deal with it then."

Jiang Mian thought that made sense and nodded slightly.

"Thank you so much for today." Jiang Mian sincerely thanked them. "I have other things to do, so I'll take my younger brother to school first."

"Yes, have a good talk with the teacher. Those little brats were really outrageous," Old Liu said.

After Lao Liu and the others left, Jiang Mian pulled Jiang Feng aside, pulled up his sleeves, collar, and hem, and looked at the injuries on his body.

I wish I hadn't looked; once I did, I almost burst into tears.

Her voice grew urgent, "You won't tell me!"

"I was bullied like this! And you didn't tell me!"

Jiang Mian sounded a little angry, but Jiang Feng curled his lips and said, "What's there to say? It's not honorable."

Jiang Mian frowned and stared at him. "What's shameful about it? What's shameful about it? It's not like you bullied anyone. What did you do wrong that's shameful?"

"Come on, I'm going to find your teacher. I want to ask them why they can bully you like this, and why the school isn't doing anything about it!" Jiang Mian said, somewhat agitated.

She grabbed him and started to walk towards the school.

But Jiang Feng stopped Jiang Mian, saying, "Don't go, Jiang Mian."

Jiang Mian tried to walk around him and continue forward.

Jiang Feng stopped her again, "Sister!"

Jiang Mian looked at him.

"That guy who was in the lead just now, his family... is very rich, and they are very well-off. Several multimedia classrooms and computer labs in the school were donated by his family, and they also invested in the school's scholarship program to help poor students."

Jiang Feng pursed his lips as he spoke, "And I'm just a poor student from a small county. A large part of my tuition and living expenses come from scholarships sponsored by his family..."

Jiang Mian felt heartbroken upon hearing this.

Is that why he doesn't tell her anything?

How long is he planning to endure this? He's only a sophomore in high school!

Jiang Mian felt a pang of sadness, realizing that she was powerless to resolve the issues with those debt collectors.

Even the issue of her younger brother being bullied... she couldn't solve it?

A sense of powerlessness and incompetence welled up inside me.

Jiang Feng probably figured it out. He gently patted Jiang Mian's shoulder and said, "It's okay, I'm fine. Really, I'm fine."

He said "I'm fine" three times in a row, but Jiang Mian only felt more heartbroken.

"You were able to endure his terrible temper and get into university. Compared to his awfulness, these people are nothing."

Jiang Feng still remembers how his sister endured Jiang Da's vicious insults and violence.

If she can do it, why can't I?

But Jiang Mian had a different opinion. "What kind of logic is that? I got caught in the rain, so why can't you use an umbrella? I disagree, I disagree!"

Suddenly, Jiang Mian thought of something and immediately took out her phone.

Jiang Feng was taken aback and quickly said, "Don't trouble your employer with this kind of thing. Work is important, and you still have to study."

She finally found a job that Jiang Da couldn't find, so maybe she'll be able to save up enough tuition fees to go back to school soon.

There's no need to waste this great opportunity on his lousy business.

Jiang Mian could see Jiang Feng's self-blame and worry, and she couldn't bear it.

Before dialing, I showed him my hands.

Jiang Feng then noticed the surgical wound on Jiang Mian's hand.

"What happened?! What happened?! Why were you wearing long sleeves for no reason?!" Jiang Feng exclaimed anxiously.

Jiang Mian said, "I protected my employer's child, so I've earned a favor. Asking them for help shouldn't be a problem, so don't worry."

At this moment, Jiang Feng was so worried that she no longer cared about whether her work would be affected.

Instead, he stared at the wound on her hand.

Jiang Feng felt a little sad. He had thought that he was the only one who was sad and struggling.

Unexpectedly, my sister was also trying her best to hold on, even when I couldn't see her.

When will life be kinder to them?

Jiang Mian quickly dialed a number, and it was answered after ringing twice.

Jiang Mian was originally thinking about how to introduce herself and how to ask the other party for help.

Before she could speak, a clear, slightly casual voice came from the other end.

"Jiang Mian?"

Jiang Mian was taken aback for a moment, then quickly replied, "Yes, hello, President Jiang."

"Did you need something?" Jiang Yu asked casually on the other end of the line.

Jiang Mian bit her lip, took a silent breath, and said, "You said before that if I need any help... I can contact you."

The next second, the casualness in the voice disappeared.

"What happened?" Jiang Yu's voice gradually became serious. "Where are you now?"

"I'm at Luocheng No.1 High School, I..." Jiang Mian wanted to explain her situation and ask for his help.

After thinking it over, she decided to find Jiang Yu... There was no other way; she felt that finding Xiao Yu was more appropriate.

But before she could finish speaking, she heard someone on the other end say, "Ten minutes. We'll talk when we meet."

Then the call ended.

Jiang Mian stared blankly at her phone.

Jiang Feng assumed she had been rejected. "It's okay, I already told you I'm fine."

"It's alright, it's alright, someone will come to help soon," Jiang Mian said.

She glanced at the injuries on Jiang Feng's face and sighed softly, "Don't worry, I'm here for you."

……

Mansion.

The man sat at the dining table, looking at the slightly cold fried chicken in the basket on the table.

Listening to Song Xun's report.

A cold, mocking smile played on the man's lips. "So, she'd rather ask Jiang Yu for help than ask me." [Qiqi is here asking for votes and favorites! I had fried chicken today, it was so delicious! Giving you some late-night snack inspiration: fried chicken with ice-cold beer!]
