Quick Transmigration: Saving The Crazy Villainess

Chapter 18: Goals And Priorities

From the distance, two other pairs of eyes watched the happenstances at the dorm's entrance.

The two people were at the painted stone table set under a tall and lush tree.

Nearby, there were several stalls where people could buy food and souvenir items.

One of the men looked so handsome and with a presence radiating both power and charm despite being only in a simple white dress shirt and pants.

Many girls passing by never failed to gawk at him for at least five seconds, not few made his lips twitched due to the dreamy shrieks they let out as they pointed their cameras at him and took a selfie with him as the background.

No matter how indifferent he outwardly seemed, he actually felt quite uncomfortable within. Who knows what angle they took to play with his image there?

What if tomorrow, he became trending in the social media for being somebody else's husband without him knowing?

What a scary possibility.

The other guy looked to be in his early thirties, with a high face value too. He was single, filthy rich, courtesy of his real job, and with a huge house and a whole garage of cars. Sadly, he worked at this university hence the students knew him and his perverted quirks.

This one had just arrived with two cups in hands.

"Boring."

The other man held out a cup of coffee that Jiang Li reluctantly accepted.

Right. It was Jiang Li. Naturally, the open pervert working in this university who he met up with was Hao Gang.

It was already the next day after the farce with his uncle.

Jiang Wen's first attempt which had taken so much time and planning just to topple Jiang Li's father off his pedestal ended up in failure. The culprit was naturally Jiang Li who, despite being so disinterested in the actual scene, had actually tossed out a record of tax evasions and faked documents from the finance department all legally stamped and signed by his Second Uncle beforehand.

He didn't plan to know how the war between the two middle-aged Jiangs would end. Anyways, he had faith in his father. And more faith in Jiang Wen's foolishness.

This was why after the meeting, he took his mind off the clan and company matters. The first thing he checked by himself was how Bai Qing was doing. And whether this younger woman already had an interaction with the male lead, Cheng Yijun.

It might be two years earlier, but it wouldn't hurt to double-check.

Jiang Li didn't go to the office today in the pretext of looking for Hao Gang. Or actually, it was not just a pretext. He did want to see the professor for a request.

The pervert hacker ran off almost everywhere and thus he chose to wait at this spot where he had chanced upon the uninteresting scene of the female lead staging mischief against someone he also knew. He witnessed everything from the beginning!

"Hey. I didn't make you wait so long this time. And I even made it up to you with this expensive cup of coffee. Don't show me that expression anymore!"

Jiang Li's attention subconsciously went to the to-go cup in his hands when he heard the other's excuse for being late.

Hao Gang really never failed to amaze him. This person assumed waiting for this guy to arrive bored him? Nice. He finally knew.

But where was the expensive coffee? Didn't he just shoot some coins into the vending machine there in front? For a machine brewed coffee, it didn't seem impressive for a high earner like him.

"You're such a puzzle, Sir. Why is it that your IQ is only with you if you're in front of a computer..." He shook his head and helplessly looked back to what he was watching.

"Jiang Li, your visits here become more and more infrequent as time goes by. So what brings you here this time?" Hao Gang asked.

The young man gulped a mouthful of the bitter coffee. Afterward, he said, "To visit you, why else?"

Hao Gang sat down across him.

Before the professor replied, his eyes went to the direction of the girl's dorm for a while. He teasingly laughed.

"Hehe, I caught you watching that spectacle, so I thought you're here for your fiancee!"

"Ex-fiancee."

Jiang Li nonchalantly clarified.

"I had that whatever engagement canceled six months ago. That girl also didn't know that the engagement existed."

Hao Gang laughed. "Even though this Miss Xia doesn't look as goddess-like as my sister or that girl she's confronting now, she's still a beauty and from a respected family of scholars too. Why did you call it off?"

Jiang Li took another gulp.

"This is the problem with society. Why would I let myself be tied to someone I'm not even acquainted with?"

"Business interest."

Jiang Li laughed.

It was a rare thing for him to talk about foolish things like this.

But he felt quite close to this mentor and friend of his thus he answered,

"I'm a bastard. But not to the point that I'll compromise the happiness of someone innocent like that little lady. From the very start, I know my goals and priorities."

'... It's completing missions and going back to repay the betrayers from his past life.'

With an amused, almost self-mocking grin on, he added,

"Marriage didn't come to mind yet. Or maybe, will never do."

Hao Gang laughed at him and slapped him at the back.

This professor was the only one with the guts to do this to the young COO of a big company.

"Stop the pessimism, my student! The end of that corporation which preyed on your precious cousin is near. Once that giant conglomerate is ruined, you'll have all the time in the world to plan for your own happiness. We only live once, you know? Don't tell me you plan to spend your next 50 plus years wrestling with papers? Damn. That's so uncool!"

Jiang Li's lips twitched. He almost said,

'Wrong, respected Sir. I don't care about Jiang Xinyi and I'll exit this world as soon as possible to go to the next one.'

"By the way, even though the two of you will no longer be in a relationship in the future, that girl seemed to be in trouble. Would you like me to call that student over and say it's for something academic?"

Jiang Li's eyes were directed at a figure that appeared on the opposite side who seemed to be heading towards the dormitory too.

This was the reason why his answer came late. Still, his reply was said in an insulting manner.

"Respected Sir, by any chance, have you ever considered what would happen if you, a pervert, do that?"

Hao Gang suggested that earlier out of goodwill hence he almost choked on his coffee when he heard his former student's reply. He glared at Jiang Li.

"... For someone who definitely seeks me out for a favor, your remarks are pretty scathing... I feel hurt!"

"You're not. And we don't need to act since I'm sure somebody else is already on it. If I'm not mistaken my batch's magna cum laude is heading towards that woman."

Jiang Li's eyes went to the glamorous socialite in a red long-sleeve button-up shirt and white gauze skirt who was currently making her way to the girl named Xia Xinyue.

A question popped up in his mind.

'When did my former fiancee have any intersection or relation with Zhu Li, the only princess of the Zhu Corporation?'
