To be the cheerleader of Boston High School, Jacqueline Bougton not only has a look and figure that far surpasses the rest of the team, but also has maturity and self-discipline that far surpasses her peers.

On Saturday night, from 20 o'clock to 21 o'clock, it is her daily after-meal exercise time, but due to the limitations of family conditions, Jacqueline Bougton's exercise method is more traditional, running at night.

A strap, tied her blonde hair into a ponytail, layered over a baggy T-shirt over fitted elastic pants, and stepping on sneakers she bought from a discount store became her standard dress for her nightly runs.

Out of self-discipline, Jacqueline also set a standard for night running, the first 20 minutes of jogging is followed by a 40-minute jog, and finally a slow walk back home, or doing homework or reading a book, which is the end of the day's routine.

It's just that on this day, before the slow walk after dinner was over, Jacqueline was changed by the drops of water dripping from the sky, looking at the bright moon in the sky and feeling the increasing rain, and finally decided to go back, if it turned into heavy rain after running away, then I don't know what time it will be when I return home.

To Jacqueline's surprise, just as she felt a mistake in judgment when she got home to stop the rain, her brother, who was holding the game console in front of the TV, said: "Someone called you just now, Valerie Hadison, saying that there is good news for you, so you can call her and leave a message when you come back." ”

"Good news?"

Jacqueline quickly went to the telephone and unplugged the line, carried the phone back to her bedroom and closed the door, then picked up the phone and the address book, found Valerie and dialed it, but with a few ringtones, a voice came from the other side: "Hi, this is the Hadison family, I'm Mary, I'm not home now, please leave a message after a tick, I'll get back to you when I get back-"

"Hi Valerie, I'm Jacqueline, remember to call me back when you get back, thank you. ”

Feeling that the good things in the other party's mouth were different from their impressions, but thinking that the graduation exam was about to begin, and now the money in hand was not enough, Jacqueline made a phone call without hope, and left this matter behind.

It wasn't until the next morning that Jacqueline ran home and looked at her brother who appeared on the sofa, and when she wanted to tiptoe past, she saw him standing up slowly, shaking his emaciated face, and said, "That Valerie called you again yesterday, and I'll go back to the house to sleep—"

"Are you really okay?"

Looking at the purple scar on the other party's arm, Jacqueline felt like she was talking nonsense after a rare question, and sure enough, he looked at him, shook his head and entered the house with a disapproving face, she also went to the telephone and unplugged it back to her house, and dialed Valerie's number after answering the phone line: "Hi, Mr. Hardisson, may I ask if Valerie is at home, I'm her friend Jacqueline-"

"Hey, is it convenient for you over there?"

Valerie's voice soon came from the phone, but it seemed that there was a man next to her, and when she heard the words of her brother faintly coming from her, Jacqueline's mind also flashed a blurred cheek, knowing whether the voice was her brother's name Maika or Mike, so she spoke: "I'm okay here, is there any good news over there?"

"I'll go back to the house and tell you, wait and don't hang up the phone~"

As Valerie returned to her room and spoke, Jacqueline, who was full of good things, instantly widened her eyes, of course she had heard of Zheng Jianguo's name, in fact, because the other party sold a game for $200,000, her attention was on this lucky person in the East from time to time, so when she heard Valerie say that this person had a lot of money, Jacqueline had already come up with the number of no less than 10 million in her mind-

However, after she listened to the other party's plan, Jacqueline's first reaction was why she used illegal means to obtain it: "Why do you want to do this, if you become his girlfriend, won't you be able to get more?

"He's not my type-"

Valerie's voice came, and a stunned look appeared on Jacqueline's delicate cheeks, and she knew that this young girl was still a childish idea, as long as a woman who had experienced social beatings knew that the most attractive thing about a man was the ability to make money, so she said: "Okay, how much money are you going to knock out of him?"

"Thousands, or tens of thousands?"

Valerie's voice was mixed with uncertainty, but Jacqueline already showed that it was indeed so, and according to what she knew about the cheerleading alternate, this was the biggest plan she could think of: "When will your lunch start?"

"It's almost ready at eleven o'clock, of course, Zheng can't arrive until after twelve o'clock, he still has a test to participate in this morning, you can arrive before eleven o'clock, then I'll wait for you to come-"

Valerie didn't ask if she would participate, but Jacqueline put down the phone directly, quickly got up and went to her brother's door and patted it: "Barry, Barry-"

"What's wrong? Jacqueline?"

As the door opened, Barry's emaciated face appeared in the crack of the half-open door, Jacqueline just saw him like this, and didn't need to smell the smell coming from inside to know what this brother was smoking, so he nodded and said, "You know Zheng Jianguo, right?

"Oh, he's still good friends with Camille, do you know him?

Barry's emaciated face flashed with curiosity, but before she could speak, his eyes swept over the appearance of this sister and continued to speak: "If that's the case, you don't have to worry about the money for college and medical school, of course, if you can marry him, then you won't be short of money in your life, if you are not allergic to Asians." ”

"According to you, Valerie must be allergic to him, and now there's such a thing-"

Facing her brother who grew up and depended on her life, Jacqueline did not hide her true thoughts, on the contrary, the reason why she was able to be so mature was due to most of the credit of this brother: "Now someone wants to blackmail him with deliberate indecency-"

"Oh, how much money will you get when it's done?"

As if there was something curious, Barry opened the door and asked outside, Jacqueline shrugged her shoulders and said: "So I feel that this is not a good proposal, the blackmail will not end well, even if the blackmail is successful, you have to be careful of Zheng Jianguo's revenge, he is so rich-"

"Yes, if you take his handle to blackmail him, he can toss a few of you for a small fee-"

Barry watched Jacqueline finish her thoughts, and felt that this girl didn't have to worry about herself in the future: "On the other hand, even if he insists on going to the police, he will be able to use the money to hire a barrister to sue you in court, and then his name will be enough to cause you to be noticed by the media, and those gossip media will dig up everything you have done and everything you have done to report, Jacqueline, you don't want this result, right?"

"OK, I know what to do!"

Thinking of the things she had done before, Jacqueline crossed her hands together and nodded before leaving, not wanting Barry to continue to speak: "Tell me, how should you deal with this matter? Which friend should be your who told you to blackmail someone, right?"

"OK, it's my school's - junior alumnus, she's an alternate cheerleader, mom seems to be a writer, dad seems to be a professor, and the family looks like a little money-"

Knowing that Barry had something to say, Jacqueline quickly sold Valerie to the bottom, if it wasn't for the latter calling her about it, she couldn't even remember the conditions of the young alumnus's family: "Her family is going to hold a luncheon today, saying that Zheng will arrive, and I plan to ask him to go to Valerie's room in the name of asking for advice and study after Zheng arrives, and then when Valerie goes to kiss him, I will push the door in, or her brother will push the door in-"

"Didn't you want to kiss him?"

Barry looked at Jacqueline's wide T-shirt and said, and then felt that this topic had the potential to cause controversy, so he nodded and said, "I remember that you are graduating, and the college tuition is not ready, right?"

"yes, I think Valerie probably knows that, so I feel like I'm able to partner with her for money-"

Inexplicably, Jacqueline guessed Valerie's intentions, but she felt that this brother had some thoughts: "Do you have any good suggestions?"

"My suggestion doesn't matter, what matters is what you think now?"

Barry shook his head and quickly finished speaking, and Jacqueline also realized from this extremely familiar teaching mode that this is not asking himself how to deal with this matter, but this brother needs to know how to analyze this matter: "The consequences of blackmail are unpredictable, so the best thing to do is not to participate, considering my relationship with Valerie, it is okay not to go at noon."

Whatever the consequences, it doesn't matter to me, but I can go to the Zheng who doesn't know where I am, tell him about it, and establish that connection, or keep it going?"

"Or you can also help Zheng accuse Valerie, of course, there is a problem with Zheng's character to do so, and the reason why I give you this advice is based on Zheng's age, his age seems to be eighteen or nineteen years old, if you help him in his most difficult time, I think he will treat you as his best friend, just by doing so, you will offend Valerie's family-"

After Barry finished speaking, he turned around and entered his room, leaving Jacqueline, who was distracted, standing in the room, and it took a long time before she took a breath and nodded, she had to admit that this brother's idea was ruthless enough!

Of course, this is what Valerie said -

After getting the suggestion, Jacqueline didn't think too much time to make a decision, but as she cleaned up and went to Valerie's house, what she didn't expect was that until the end of the luncheon, she couldn't wait for Zheng Jianguo's figure to appear, until she heard Valerie find a chance to ask, Mrs. Hardison also looked at her and said: "Oh, Zheng didn't come today, he was elected by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology this morning as a candidate for the Boston branch of the Physical Society, and he had to go to the branch at half past one in the afternoon, so he couldn't come at noon——"

"Candidate for the Physicists? Didn't you say he was a doctor at Massachusetts General Hospital?"

Valerie blurted out a blurted out just as Jacqueline was struggling to hide her disappointment, but Mrs. Hardison's words instantly diverted her attention: "Zheng is both a resident at Massachusetts General Hospital, an associate professor in the Massachusetts Institute of Technology's physics laboratory, and he is also said to be a reviewer for several authoritative journals, and of course the most famous one in our community——"

"Associate professor?"

Jacqueline blurted out in an instant, although she knew about Zheng Jianguo's situation after he came to the United States, but those were all reported in the media, because Zheng Jianguo almost disappeared in the media at the end of last year in order to prepare for the medical exam, she naturally couldn't know the latest situation of this goods: "Didn't he go to Harvard Medical School?"

"Zheng has already graduated, he graduated early, so he will attend the commencement ceremony of Harvard Medical School on the 15th of this month, and I can take you to congratulate you if you are free. ”

Mary craned her neck and looked at the three people in front of her, especially when her eyes moved from Mike's face to Jacqueline's face, and deliberately said to the latter, "Jacqueline, you're graduating, right?"

"Yes, Mrs. Hardison, I'm going to apply for Boston University, I wonder if I'll go to Harvard Medical School with you then, after all, my dream is to be admitted to Harvard Medical School-"

Jacqueline has a much less smile on her face, a skill she has practiced countless times in front of the mirror, because it will give her smile a pleasant but not pompous and frivolous feeling, which will reduce the feeling of dust on her face that heavy makeup will give people: "Is it okay?"

"Of course, Jacqueline, Zheng is a very nice person, if you want to consult him in medicine, then this is a good opportunity for you-"

Nodding silently, Mary said and then looked at the cheerleader's son who was staring straight at her, and in a trance, it was like Hardison was looking at her affectionately at school, but before her many thoughts disappeared, she saw Valerie frowning and said, "Oh, that's a shame, I still want to be friends with him-"

“？？？”

Mary looked at her daughter suspiciously, and then she wanted to speak when she heard Hardison next to her speak, "Mary, there's a guest leaving—"

"Okay, I'll come over right away, and you three play slowly. ”

Mary smiled at Jacqueline and turned away, but before she could go far, the latter heard Mike say, "Why do you say that, our mother is suspicious of you-"

"I want to go too—how can I blackmail Zheng if I don't go?"

Valerie asked with a righteous face, and Jacqueline couldn't help but sigh in her heart: "It's a good thing I didn't come-"
