Chapter 1272

Having arrived at the edge of Cuiwei Lake at Shanhedaxue, Yang Nuolan let go of Chen Ziang's hand.

Chen Ziang summoned his courage again and sternly refused.

"Nuolan sis, I think……"

Yang Nuolan had been analyzing Chen Ziang's condition via the Intelligent Assistance System all along the way.

As soon as he opened his mouth, she knew he was about to refuse again.

She swung her hand and slapped him before he could speak.

"Smack!"

That slap was very loud, drawing the attention of the surrounding classmates.

Chen Ziang was completely stunned.

All of Yang Nuolan's goodness vanished at that moment.

"You……"

He wanted to loudly question, but seeing Yang Nuolan's appearance, his voice instantly weakened.

"You, how dare you hit someone."

Yang Nuolan reached out and touched his face, frightening him into stepping back.

Yang Nuolan pressed closer step by step; this face must be touched.

"How about it, feeling better? Do you still think I'm fine in your heart?"

"Do you feel much better now? Are you no longer nervous? Can you communicate normally?"

Chen Ziang froze.

"Yeah, really; looking at Yang Nuolan now, I feel much more normal, and I've calmed down."

Seeing Chen Ziang react, Yang Nuolan patted his chest.

"If you ever feel like you're losing yourself again, tell me, and I'll treat you."

Chen Ziang felt utterly awful.

"Ah, treat? Slap my face?"

Yang Nuolan nodded.

"Yeah, if there's a problem, solve it; that's all. Don't jump to conclusions just after meeting."

"I don't dislike you; you seem to like me too. I feel we can give it a try."

"As for your 'lickdog' ailment, I can also help cure it."

Saying this, she stretched out her hand and made a few slapping motions.

Chen Ziang covered his face, thinking, "Can't I escape this? Has the young lady taken a liking to me?"

"No, that's not right; he didn't feel this woman taking an interest in him, and the slap didn't hurt at all."

"Is she just playing with me?"

"Sure enough, this woman is my calamity."

Chen Ziang's expression kept shifting, and he unconsciously stepped back.

Yang Nuolan quickly figured out what he was thinking.

She reached out and grabbed Chen Ziang's hand again.

"This little puppy looks pretty good."

She had looked over the introductions and videos of the other few.

"Although they were also not bad, none were as interesting as this one."

In others' eyes, Chen Ziang was dull and wooden.

But in Yang Nuolan's eyes, this kid is straightforward, says what he thinks, and has his own principles.

"He is a very good person."

Moreover, he is nineteen; his character and worldview are already formed and won't easily change.

As a possible acting type, under the Intelligent Assistance System's analysis, his acting potential is nearly zero.

"He is a reliable person."

"Rather than keep meeting others, it's better to give this one a try."

As his hand was grabbed again, Chen Ziang's words of refusal were forced back down his throat.

"Maybe we can try; who knows, we might actually click."

"Besides, the Yang Family are very principled; even if we ultimately aren't suited, she probably wouldn't cheat on me, and likely wouldn't exploit my 'lickdog' personality flaw to hurt me."

"A woman like this, if missed, I would surely regret it for life."

"Let's bet; let's bet on the Yang Family's character."

"But at the start, I must definitely hold on; I must not lose myself."

His hopeful mindset gained the upper hand.

He became much more obedient.

Yang Nuolan pulled him to sit on the lakeside rest chair.

"I study in Jingcheng; have you been there?"

Chen Ziang shook his head readily.

"No."

"Then do you know why I study in Jingcheng?"

"I don't know."

"Because schools like Shanhedaxue, Te Qu Daxue, and Qiongzhou Daxue, which our Yang Family runs, don't admit our own Yang Family members."

You say, is it ridiculous or not?

Chen Ziang heard the resentment in her words.

He felt a bit embarrassed, precisely because of them, so Yang family members cannot come here to study.

Their school consists of ordinary people, very pure, most people don't compare anything, they can study in peace.

The Yang family invested huge sums, over ten trillion each year, yet they themselves cannot enjoy it.

So he feels quite guilty facing Yang Nuolan's words.

"It's not ridiculous, because your Yang family has tens of thousands achieve class advancement every year."

"The ripple effect benefits over a hundred thousand people."

"We remember everything you have done."

"Sister Nuolan, we are very grateful to the Yang family."

"We are also very sorry for your ordeal."

"Actually, every Shanhe person feels guilty toward you in their hearts."

"We all remember."

This………

Yang Nuolan didn't expect Chen Ziang's attitude to be like this; she could see that this gratitude came from the bottom of his heart.

Yang Nuolan seemed to have discovered another secret of the Yang family's enduring prosperity: the Yang family has cultivated countless people who know gratitude.

With these people supporting them, how could the Yang family possibly lose?

Even if they really lost, with so much affection and loyalty, they could certainly make a comeback.

This might be what the old man meant: if the Yang family cannot make good use of its wealth, then they should give it away.

Even if they gave away everything the Yang family had, its influence would remain, and rising again would not be difficult.

Old Man Yang is indeed laying plans everywhere.

She thought she had seen the third layer, but she didn't expect there to be a fifth layer… a seventh layer…

"Can you tell me about your life? From childhood to adulthood."

Chen Ziang nodded.

"I was born into an ordinary family; my parents were both from Free Village."

"After giving birth to me, they had to leave Free Village and start relying on freelance work Earning Money."

"When I was young, I lived in a recreational vehicle, following my parents as they cleaned up trash, did greening, maintained roads, and performed emergency rescues……"

"I attended elementary school through Vanguard Education; it was only when we reached middle school that we settled down in the Shanhe District."

"It wasn't until I graduated high school that they began to pursue their own dream, traveling the world in a recreational vehicle."

"I entered Shanhedaxue through the education fund and Vanguard Education."

"You've seen that I have a bad personality; I can't coax girls, I'm stubborn and dull."

"I'm not a very good choice for a partner!"

Yang Nuolan.

"Why don't you look for a foreign beauty?"

"As long as you want, finding a foreign partner shouldn't be hard, right?"

Foreign girl?

Chen Ziang shook his head.

"Many foreign beauties have impure motives, and their marriages are unstable."

"Moreover, they aren't interested in someone like me."

"They like people who know how to have fun; I've never even been to Jingcheng."

Yang Nuolan.

"If you had money, what would you want to do?"

"What is your ideal?"
