Chapter 62 Sorry
Snape thought that he would never forget this scene.
The winter sun shone obliquely into the room. Jiang Li stood where light and shadow intersected, and casually took off his gloves. His eyes were like the quiet deep sea as he looked at Mr. Avery indifferently.
She said: "I am Snape's family, Gardenia Malfoy.
You want to bully my family, so I came here, do you have anything else to say?"
Mr. Avery was so angry at this that he spat out blood.
When did he bully her family?
His son was beaten, and he had just come to school and said a few harsh words, and was also beaten. No matter how you looked at it, he was the one being bullied.
Seeing his thoughts, Jiang Li chuckled and said, "Mr. Avery, do you think I am bullying you?"
"Is not it?"
Mr. Avery's face was squeezed into a ball due to the pain, and he looked at Jiang Li with deep fear.
Jiang Li tilted his head, smiled and said, "Didn't you come here to humiliate me and Severus in this way? The reason you didn't succeed is because I am stronger than you? I just did what you were about to do, why are you angry?
When you use your power to bully others, you should realize that you will also be bullied by someone more powerful than you."
Mr. Avery looked livid.
He couldn't win the argument, and he couldn't win the fight either. He was almost fainted from anger.
Seeing that the knocking was almost over, Jiang Li waved his wand and restored everything in the principal's office. He was even considerate enough to use a levitation spell to get Avery out of the ruins and clean his dirty clothes.
She pulled out a bottle of Advanced Restoration Potion and handed it to Mr. Avery.
"What do you want to do?"
Mr. Avery looked at Jiang Li warily.
He's already stopped talking, do you still want to poison him?
It’s not that big of a grudge!
"This is a recovery potion." Jiang Li looked at Mr. Avery and said sincerely, "I have no intention of hurting you. I just want you to understand my feelings. After all, there is no deep hatred between us, right?"
Mr. Avery took the potion from Jiang Li and looked at her with some suspicion. Seeing that she really didn't seem to be planning to do anything, he felt relieved.
"You're right. There's no need for us to be enemies." Mr. Avery replied unnaturally, "My child is indeed a little immature. I will educate him well."
It is not a wise decision to rashly offend a powerful wizard when you cannot see his strength clearly. It is better to just follow his lead.
Jiang Li withdrew his hand and said with a look of relief: "Mr. Avery is a very sensible person. If all parents were like you, I think the professors in the school would have an easy time."
Hearing this, Avery's mouth twitched.
If it weren't for the dull pain from the place where he was hit, he would have really believed the woman's lies.
"Haha, I believe anyone who meets you will be sensible." Mr. Avery said indifferently.
If Jiang Li had demonstrated his abilities from the beginning, he would have kept quiet long ago.
Jiang Li pretended not to hear the sarcasm. He had already been taught a lesson enough, and there was no harm in giving the other person a verbal rant to save his face.
She put away her wand, looked at Elena in Sprout's arms and said, "Did you see that? When you are hurt, just fight back. Next time, no one will dare to hurt you."
Elena stared at Jiang Li blankly.
What happened today shocked her too much.
At this time, Jiang Li also saw Snape and Professor McGonagall at the door.
Professor McGonagall looked at her with bright eyes, and a hint of admiration.
This was the first time she had seen such a solution. Maybe next time she encountered such a situation, she could try to solve the problem in this way.
"Gardenia, the way you handle problems really enlightens me." Professor McGonagall praised.
Jiang Li said modestly: "It's mainly because Mr. Avery is more reasonable."
Mr. Avery, who followed out, heard this: "..."
I have never been so speechless in my life.
Snape stared at Jiang Li closely, recalling in his mind what she said when she stood in front of everyone to defend herself, and his heart was beating fast.
There were obviously many people around him, but Jiang Li was the only one left in his eyes.
Jiang Li is different from others. She always stands by his side without hesitation.
Jiang Li glanced at the silent Snape, thinking that he was still angry about the previous incident, and patted him on the head lightly.
"The matter has been resolved, you can go back."
She had to hurry back to the restricted area. She had just taken out a useless book on dark magic while Madam Pince wasn't paying attention, and she had to put it back immediately.
After walking for a while, my hand was suddenly grabbed.
Jiang Li turned her head and looked at Snape, whose ears were red for some unknown reason and who was holding her hand tightly.
"What's wrong?" She looked at Snape puzzledly.
Snape met her clear blue eyes, and his throat felt like there was a lead block stuck in it, and he didn't know how to make a sound.
"you……"
He paused for a long time before saying, "You shouldn't have attacked him. If Avery wants to hold you accountable and asks people from the Ministry of Magic to come after you, you will be in trouble."
"This..."
Jiang Li looked at Snape leisurely and said, "Don't worry. The Ministry of Magic had a financial crisis before, and I funded them with one thousand Galleons to help them solve the problem of employee salaries in the past few years.
And I provided some help to Amelia Bones, the new director of the Department of Magical Enforcement, and now she is one of ours, so they won’t do anything to me.”
Now everyone in the Ministry of Magic treats her like the God of Wealth and worships her so much that they would never bother her.
Jiang Li tapped Snape's forehead lightly, smiled and said, "Don't worry, I won't put myself in danger."
The most useless thing to do is to keep your money in a vault and let it depreciate.
Jiang Li took out the money she and Snape had saved in their vault and made some investments. Money made money, and interest compounded interest. Although she spent a lot, her overall assets increased and her network of relationships grew.
She will not let herself be alone and become a lamb to be slaughtered in the eyes of others.
After he finished speaking, the air became quiet again.
Snape looked at Jiang Li, not knowing what to say. His lips moved slightly, as if the next words would cost him his life.
Just when Jiang Li thought he was going to play a mute for him, he heard his gentle voice.
"sorry."
Seeing Jiang Li looking at him in surprise, Snape took a deep breath and continued, "I shouldn't have lost my temper with you that day and said such harsh words. Can you forgive me?"
After saying this, all his courage was exhausted, and he didn't dare to look Jiang Li in the eye.
He thought Jiang Li would come to him that night and ask him why with a sly smile like before, so he walked very slowly. However, when he arrived at the door of the Slytherin dormitory, he did not see Jiang Li.
It was a cold night and dark outside the window. Filch walked down that corridor three times.
Snape stood there until dawn, and he even counted the tassels on the curtains to be four hundred and one, until the Slytherin students got up for dinner.
Only then did he accept the fact that Jiang Li did not come to see him.
After the Defense Against the Dark Arts class, he thought Jiang Li came to explain to him why he had come to see him yesterday, and then talked to him like before.
But Jiang Li just glanced at him indifferently that day and left.
Only then did Snape realize that Jiang Li could also be angry.
He was a little at a loss and wanted to apologize to Jiang Li, but he didn't know how to say it. He even didn't dare to go to the potion room, for fear that Jiang Li would give him a cold look.
It's quite funny to say, Snape always thought that Jiang Li couldn't live without him, but now he realizes that he needed Jiang Li.
He didn't even dare to look into Jiang Li's eyes.
"Severus."
Seeing that he lowered his head, Jiang Li went forward and held his face, making him look directly into his eyes. He said seriously, word by word:
"Actually, that's not why I'm angry."
