Chapter 107: The Ever-Increasing Distance

  Don't give up... These three words suddenly shocked Chang Xiyan. Don't give up, yes, don't give up. He has been working hard for so long, how can he give up at this time? Leaving the Chang Xi family, leaving that family, is what he has always been striving for! A woman who would drive her husband to death, what qualifications does she have to live as a mother?! He doesn't have such a mother, nor does he have such a family! Lazy

  He now only recognizes that deceased father, the one who would smile and accompany him with gentleness by his side!

  There is also that cherry blossom tree, only under that cherry blossom tree does he feel the presence of his father. Perhaps his pitiful father has turned into spring mud and put all his nutrients in the cherry blossom tree.

  "If you want to move her, try it." Cang Xi said coldly, Cang Xi Jian was taken aback, he stiffened there, looking at his younger brother who turned back indifferently: "Is she someone you can afford to mess with?"

  With Su's character, it's probably even harder to compromise than him. The Shuo family has already moved against her once, but the Shuo family ultimately didn't take drastic measures because they pitied Shuo Liancheng. However, the Cang Tian family will not be like the Shuo family and show mercy to Su because of their pity for him. If it comes down to that, even if he really has to fight to the death, he will still protect her by his side! What's a stormy rain compared to what he's already witnessed - his father's death? Even with wounds all over his body and covered in blood, he is fearless.

  This is probably the first time Cang Xi Jian has seen Cang Xi Han say such a thing with such determination. Before, he only resisted and refused, but never said anything so harsh... It's not that it's not harsh, but the strong attitude made Cang Xi Jian stiffen.

  Is it because of that person?

  She slowly turned her head, and Su Yanran, who was standing beside her, had already left. By her side were the two young men, one of whom seemed to be always sleepy, while the other appeared weak and frail, as if he might collapse at any moment. Yet they followed her resolutely, never entertaining the thought of leaving. On her body, there seemed to be a power that drew people in, making them want to stay by her side.

  The Cang Xi was also affected by this power, so he said such words.

  If that's really the case, he would try his best to break this force! Cang Xiyan must go back and inherit the company of the Xiyan family, and he also has to take the civil service exam step by step. This is a predetermined path, no one can change it, and no force can stop it.

  "Wow, Su Yangran got first place again." "Look at her, she seems to be working really hard." "Tsk tsk, after all, she's the queen of the Gray faction, not someone to be underestimated." "But isn't the person who tied with her for first place also a member of the Gray faction?" "It seems like the Gray faction is getting stronger and stronger, I wonder how many people will join next year." "I feel like the school system is starting to change..." "Yeah... yeah..." Students passing by were all discussing the results on the bulletin board.

  Su's face didn't show much expression, but she was still very happy inside. Hehe, the scholarship has increased again, and Dad and Mom will definitely be very happy too? After all, their daughter has always been the best.

  But... a week later...

  The bulletin board read: Cang Xi Jian first place; Su Yang Ran second place...... It seemed that the results were quickly updated again. When Su Yang Ran saw the bulletin board, he was almost furious, his face turned black, Cang Xi Jian, that, that, that bastard!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  "Brother, don't mind it. The principal announced a few days ago that the best scholarship will be awarded to the top three students. As long as you are among the top three, regardless of your ranking, the amount of the scholarship is the same." Su Yan didn't know how to comfort her anymore. Su Xiang was so angry that she gritted her teeth and hated that transfer student. Hu had been thinking about something, with his pen resting on the bridge of his nose, for about ten or twenty minutes. Suddenly, he raised his head: "Cang Xi Jian, is it trying to provoke you?"

  "What?" Even Su Yanran was stunned this time.

  "Because he has already obtained the highest degree in France, a PhD in philosophy. And in China, he also obtained a master's degree in literature. Due to his age, he never took the civil service exam. The Cang Xi family has two sons, one is in politics and the other is in business, so Cang Xi Jian should be the one in politics. With his achievements, he doesn't need to attend classes at this school at all. It's probably because of his younger brother Cang Xi Ran that he came here. So it's only natural that you can't beat him, and maybe he intentionally tied with you last time just to spare your feelings."

  Doctor... Ph.D.... Master, Master's degree... Oh my god, that bastard was playing with her all along?! Wait a minute, but why did he want to provoke her?

  "Why did he want to provoke my brother?" Su Yan also asked the question that Su Yang had wanted to ask.

  The house thought seriously for a moment: "I'm not sure about this either, Cang Xi came to school probably because of his brother. But why did he get into a fight with Yang Ran... Could it be..."

  "Really?"

  "Does he really dislike him?"

  “……”

  "Do you think everyone in the school is like you? You can just look down on people at will!" Su Yanran really wanted to smash this sleepyhead with an iron pot. She was furious, her hands on her hips: "I see, he must be thinking of becoming the king of the gray faction, wanting me to compromise with him. Maybe he's a spy sent by his brother Chang Xi, leader of the cold faction, and after taking over as king of the gray faction, he'll merge us in. Ugh, I won't let him get away with it, even if he is a Ph.D. or Master's degree holder, I absolutely won't admit defeat!"

  Su Xiangran solemnly made a promise and continued to work hard for the exam results. At the same time, Cang Xi Jian also began to secretly deploy, preparing to deal with Su Xiangran. It was not just about grades that could defeat her, he had to do more groundwork to make it impossible for her to survive in Luolan Academy.

  But Su Zhongyan, who had been working hard, did not notice that Su Yan, who had always been by her side, had quietly begun to change. He no longer followed her everywhere, and his smile was no longer as bright as before. Although she could see him whenever she turned around, she didn't notice... the distance between them... had grown farther and farther apart.
