Chapter 92.1 – Extra: Liang Jingche

— STATUS: Unedited —

　　After many years, Jiang Dai encountered Liang Jingche once again at a lavish dinner organized by her father.

　　Inside a restaurant’s opulent private room, a rebellious teenage girl with silver-pink dyed hair and punk-inspired attire found herself forcibly dragged by her parents before Liang Jingche.

　　Mother Jiang’s tone was filled with helplessness as she spoke, “I know you’ve only recently returned to the country, Xiao Liang. Logically speaking, we shouldn’t be causing you any trouble, but we wouldn’t be in such a rush if it weren’t for this child still fooling around in her final year of high school.”

　　With her head hung low and a defiant stance, Jiang Dai stood there, chewing on bubble gum. As the words reached her ears, she rolled her eyes and blew a massive bubble from her mouth.

　　Standing before her was a man dressed in a light blue shirt and dark-colored trousers, his high and prominent nose supporting a pair of gold-rimmed glasses. Before leaving the house, her parents had bombarded her with countless detailed introductions about him.

　　Liang Jingche, a 26-year-old man, was a legal prodigy who had spent numerous years abroad. This year, he had recently returned to his home country and established his own law firm. Not only that, but he had also been appointed as a visiting professor at Qing University’s School of Law, which solidified his esteemed reputation in the field of law.

　　Liang Jingche’s father was a renowned physicist who had been longtime friends with Jiang Dai’s parents after conducting research together during their youth. While Jiang Dai had crossed paths with Liang Jingche many times during her childhood, he had left for abroad a decade ago, making her impression of him quite faint now.

　　A young man sporting a gentle smile on his strikingly handsome face sat gracefully at the table. He lightly adjusted his gold-rimmed glasses and spoke with a reserved smile, “Don’t be upset, Sister-in-law. She’s still just a child. We should patiently guide and teach her.”

……

　　As they boarded the flight to Germany together, Jiang Dai’s grueling days officially began.

　　Before her parents departed, they made sure to send her and her luggage all the way to Liang Jingche’s villa.

　　Liang Jingche resided in a quaint two-and-a-half-story standalone villa all by himself. As Jiang Dai took a stroll through the premises, she silently criticized the man for his apparent emphasis on the quality of life. It was evident that he enjoyed a comfortable existence, as the interior design exuded a refined taste.

　　When she was younger, Jiang Dai used to quite like this big brother figure. There was no initial animosity between them. Unfortunately, he had now become her “guardian” who specifically restricted her freedom. This was simply intolerable, so he was no longer pleasing to the eye.

　　Moreover, Liang Jingche solemnly presented her with a document on the very night she moved in, pressuring her to sign it.

　　The so-called agreement, in reality, served as a means for him to assert his parental authority, establishing strict guidelines for her to follow throughout her senior year of high school.

　　1. Attendance must be regular without any absences or tardiness. Leaving school early is strictly prohibited, and she must return home on time after school.
　　2. Staying up late is prohibited, and the internet will be disconnected promptly at 11 p.m. every night.
　　3. The revision schedule must be strictly adhered to.
　　4. Engaging in any form of meaningless entertainment is strictly forbidden, including but not limited to visiting places of entertainment, watching movies with classmates, and participating in any online gaming activities.

……

　　Jiang Dai gripped the pen tightly while Liang Jingche calmly observed her.

　　For some reason, Jiang Dai felt a sense of unease deep in her heart. She could not shake the feeling that Uncle Liang was not someone to be taken lightly. In order to avoid further trouble, she made up her mind and reluctantly signed her name on the document.

　　‘Damn it, isn’t it just a worthless agreement? Even if I refuse to comply, what can this guy do about it? Drag me to court or something?’

　　As she pondered this, Liang Jingche calmly stated, “I personally drafted this agreement, so it holds legal validity, Daidai. If you violate the terms, I will submit the necessary materials to the court and file a lawsuit against you. It will undoubtedly also alert your parents.”

　　“…………” The speechless Jiang Dai cursed inwardly, ‘F*ck! This guy went all out.”

……

　　From then on, Jiang Dai engaged in a fierce battle of wills with Liang Jingche for over half a month.

　　She fought to the point where she was utterly exhausted and on the verge of losing her mind.

　　Not only did Liang Jingche supervise her study sessions every evening and assign her tasks like a professional home tutor, but he also personally chauffeured her to and from school each day. It was as if he did not give her a single minute to catch her breath.

　　At the start, Jiang Dai was afraid of provoking his anger and alerting her parents, who were deeply immersed in their academic pursuits in Heidelberg.

　　The situation had escalated to the point where she felt like giving up entirely……

　　That evening, her group of friends, who were in the same boat as her academically, invited her to go clubbing.

　　Jiang Dai received a voice message from Bai Zhi. “Hurry up and come out, Daidai! It’s Saturday, for crying out loud! We’re all stuck at home studying on Saturday nights, but your situation is just too miserable! He’s just an uncle and a university professor, so what’s so great about him? Why does he have the audacity to control you even more strictly than your own parents? Remember, the most important thing in life is the spirit of rebellion!”

　　Inspired by her best friend’s talk of rebellion, Jiang Dai pretended to be exhausted from studying and went to bed at eleven. Instead of getting some sleep, she hid in her room to meticulously apply makeup and get dressed. Taking advantage of Liang Jingche’s rest time, she stealthily slipped out and made a beeline for the bar street.

……

　　A group of teenagers embraced their adolescent recklessness by partying from midnight until the wee hours of the morning.

　　Everyone was heavily intoxicated, including Jiang Dai. It had been nearly two weeks since she had last gone out to have fun, and she felt as if she had been suffocating from the lack of social activity.

　　Her friends were also indignant on her behalf, venting their frustrations.

　　“What’s up with that uncle of yours? He doesn’t let you go out and have fun even on weekends? You’re the queen of clubbing, Daidai! It must be unbearable for you after not hitting the dance floor for over two weeks, right?”

　　“That’s right! It used to be Daidai organizing our outings, but now that she’s often absent, it isn’t as fun as before!”

　　Bai Zhi chimed in, “What kind of feudal and authoritarian uncle is he? Don’t back down, Daidai, and make sure to take him on!”
