When the female supporting role has a beauty system

Chapter 1089 Shengnan 21
"No, no man is as good as a teacher." Jiang Shengnan nestled against Tan You, clutching a stack of property deeds. "I was so eager before because I wanted someone to rely on, someone to help me escape that home. But now I have a teacher, and you are my greatest support."

"As for men, who would give their all for me? They always want something from me. Either they want my looks or they want me to be their maid. I have everything I need now, so why should I deal with them anymore?"

Tan You was very satisfied with Jiang Shengnan's answer. She nodded slightly: "Old Jiang and his wife are living in a nursing home now. They know I'm not you. Now that you're back, do you want to go back and see them?"

"I won't see them," Jiang Shengnan refused outright, much to Tan You's surprise. "Let them think I'm still their teacher. Since you've already put them in their place, there's no need for me to jump out and cause any more trouble."

"Call me cowardly, weak, or heartless, but I never want to see any of the Jiang family members again in my life. Let's just leave it at that."

“I can’t bear to spend money on them just to stay in a sanatorium. It’s almost 300,000 yuan a year. My annual salary used to be less than 180,000 yuan. It’s too much of a loss to spend money on them.”

Tan You said softly, "It's not that I'm being overly compassionate, but if they had lived with Jiang Shengli and his wife, Old Jiang wouldn't be alive today."

"But now that you're back, it's okay if you don't want to continue paying. It's up to you. These fees are just a drop in the bucket for you now."

Jiang Shengnan said with a bitter face, "It's a lot of money. I can't bear to part with it. The total amount they've spent on me doesn't even add up to 50,000 yuan."

"The thought of spending so much money on them makes me unhappy. If they were good to me, the money wouldn't be a problem, but are they good to me? They want to squeeze every last drop out of me."

Tan You: "But if you stop giving them money, Lao Jiang and his wife will definitely come after you. Are you sure you can handle them? You're always too soft-hearted with them and always at a loss."

"Even though they know their meager love is ulterior motives, they can't let go each time, just to cling to that tiny bit of warmth."

Jiang Shengnan hugged her knees: "I know my weaknesses, and I will try my best to change them. Actually, with the teachers around, I should be able to let go of them soon."

Tan You tapped her forehead: "That's for the best. Since that's the case, let them continue to stay in the sanatorium. Look at your bank account balance, it's enough for them to stay there until then."

Just then, a transfer notification arrived: "600000 RMB has been transferred to your account ending in 7687, payer..."

Jiang Shengnan stared at the balance for a long time, then pinched her thigh hard: "I... I have this much money now?"

"Almost a small goal... Is that really that extravagant?"

Tan You shook her head: "This is just the cash I have on hand; I've invested most of it."

After reviewing all of her current assets, Jiang Shengnan's eyes widened in disbelief: "Teacher, can I finally relax and do nothing from now on?"

Tan You laughed and said, "As long as you don't spend extravagantly, you can completely relax."

"Hooray!" Jiang Shengnan cheered. "From now on, I'll be a salted fish!"

"As for the elderly couple..." Jiang Shengnan hesitated for a moment, "Then let's listen to the teacher and let them continue to live there. Unless they are gone, I don't want to see them again."

“They don’t love me at all; they only love Jiang Shengli. Jiang Shengli is clearly inferior to me in every way, and the whole family depends on me, yet they can’t see me at all.”

Tan You remained indifferent. This preference for sons over daughters—this outdated custom has harmed countless people. Physical pain can heal, but what about the pain in one's heart?
"Do you remember anything before you met me?" After settling the elderly Jiang couple, Tan You asked the question that had been lingering in her mind for a long time. Jiang Shengnan shook his head: "I only have memories from before I was 28. I don't remember how I met you, teacher. Is this important?"

Tan You's eyes were calm: "It's not important. If you don't remember, you don't remember. It's not a big deal."

Those who meet her almost always meet a bad end. Although I don't understand what Jiang Shengnan went through before meeting her, considering the whole Jiang family of scoundrels, Jiang Shengnan is sure to come out on a bad note.

As for what bad things she went through, there's no need to dig into it. If Jiang Shengnan didn't know about these painful experiences, perhaps her life would be easier.

After waking up, Jiang Shengnan consciously avoided her neighbors on the 17th floor for a few days. She was also very busy during these days. She was busy going to see the empire that Tan You had built for her and learning how to run a coffee shop.

At the same time, she also had to deal with the website editors, who were urging her to start a new book. She had also read two of Tan You's works, and Jiang Shengnan had only one feeling: amazed.

Although she was also a Chinese literature major, she didn't have Tan You's writing talent. She had thought about writing part-time to change her life, but she was too busy at the time, spending all her time on blind dates.

Jiang Shengnan was worried that asking her to pick up a pen now would ruin Tan You's reputation.

Jiang Shengnan could handle the shop assistants and editors, since they weren't that close. But how to face her friends on the 17th floor? Jiang Shengnan was a bit at a loss.

Unlike Tan You, who could discuss finance and market trends with Sara, she couldn't offer He Jia Hui any guidance at work; she was just an ordinary employee.

And she doesn't know how to make clothes either.

"Teacher, you're so amazing!" Jiang Shengnan wailed, slumped over the table. "How can I avoid giving myself away in front of Sara and He Jiahui?"

"Why don't I learn these things too? Anyway, I'm in a coffee shop every day now, and I don't have to clock in for work. I have plenty of time to study."

Tan You was surprised for a moment, then smiled and said, "Sure, it's good that you're eager to learn. I'll teach you whatever you want to learn."

Jiang Shengnan sat up straight, cupped her face in her hands, and smiled sweetly at Tan You opposite her: "Really? You'll teach me anything I want to learn? I'm really lucky!"

Tan You nodded: "I also want to find some fun in life, but since you want to learn, I definitely won't go easy on you. I'm very strict."

“I understand,” Jiang Shengnan said confidently. “I’m so smart, I definitely won’t fail to learn it.”

Tan You: "Yes, you are indeed very smart. Despite being suppressed by your family, you were still able to get into a 985 university in S City. You are really smart and hardworking."

Jiang Shengnan was embarrassed by her praise and just smiled shyly at Tan You while holding her face.

Tan You sighed softly, "Don't feel unworthy, Jiang Shengnan. You are an excellent girl, and you deserve praise. It seems I need to praise you more, so you won't be easily fooled by others' words."
