Chapter 64 Old Classmate

Yan Sui slept until she naturally woke up, and it was already close to noon.

She opened her phone and saw that she had received a friend request from Huang Yanni.

She seemed to have been waiting for me to accept her request before adding her as a friend, and she couldn't wait to edit a long message over.

In summary, it's good news; she got accepted.

Huang Yanni also emphasized that she attributed this good news to Yan Sui.

Yan Sui chuckled; she didn't have that kind of ability.

Yan Sui: [You were able to pass the exam, which shows you have the ability. It's the result of your hard work and good fortune.]

Yan Sui: [Congratulations again! I hope you continue to be lucky.]

Yanni: [Sui Sui, I have a friend who was your high school classmate. She wants to add you as a contact and asked me to ask you.]

Yan Sui: [What's your name?]

Yanni: [Hu Xin.]

Yan Sui sat on the bed in a daze for a long time, searching her mind for information about "Hu Xin".

Yes, but very few.

Hu Xin was indeed her classmate, and they were in the same class for every academic year of high school.

But they hardly ever crossed paths.

In my memory, she was thin and quiet, with above-average grades.

She never participates in any class activities and leaves as soon as get out of class is over, seemingly very busy.

Because he was always alone, he seemed particularly out of place in the class.

Yan Sui rubbed her temples. Rather than saying Hu Xin was antisocial, it was more accurate to say that everyone ignored her.

He simply handed over the funding quota to the school for decision-making, only responsible for providing the money, but never paid attention to whether the matter was actually implemented.

If the aid doesn't reach the students who need it, then what she did was meaningless.

Not long after Yan Sui replied to Huang Yanni, she received a friend request from Hu Xin.

The two successfully became friends, but she didn't know what to say.

Hu Xin, on the other hand, was very familiar with the situation and immediately initiated a video call.

Yan Sui: "..."

She was still wearing her pajamas.

But refusing to answer would be impolite.

After thinking for a moment, she accepted the answer.

My impression of Hu Xin is that she is thin and fair-skinned.

Years have passed, and she hasn't changed much, but her face has become a bit fuller, making her even more beautiful.

Her voice remained gentle and low, like a clear spring pattering on her eardrums.

"Yan Sui, it's been a long time."

"Long time no see, Hu Xin."

Hu Xin smiled faintly, "You must be surprised, but I think there are some things I need to tell you face to face."

However, she didn't have time to come to Yancheng to find Yan Sui for the time being, so she added her contact information instead.

Now, we can barely be considered face-to-face.

“I applied for the scholarship you set up at the school in high school. I was originally selected, but because Yan Sen’s aunt is our grade head, the scholarship ultimately went to Yan Sen.”

"Twice, in the second and third years of high school."

She has no parents, only an elderly grandmother, and no one will stand up for her.

She didn't dare to make a scene, but she secretly went to see Yan Sen and his aunt.

Ironically, even though she was in the right, she couldn't win an argument with them.

Not only did they fail to get their rightful funding, they were also verbally abused by them.

"I have saved the complete chat history, and I can send it to you if you need it."

Yan Sui fell silent. "Are there many students like you?"

Hu Xin smiled and said, "I'm the only one I know about."

Many ineligible students apply for financial aid, but the school will verify their eligibility.

Yan Sen was able to steal her spot because he took advantage of her lack of family connections, and also because of his aunt's influence.

Yan Sui nodded. "I'm sorry, I've never paid attention to these things before."

Hu Xin was taken aback. "I've never blamed you."

Yan Sui was a well-known star at school, always ranking at the top of her class.

But she changed in her senior year of high school.

Despite her excellent grades, she disregarded her teacher's advice and resolutely followed Fu Qingci to film a movie.

This is completely contrary to what the teachers expected of her.

“I always found it strange back then. You and Fu Qingci didn’t just meet in your senior year of high school, so how did you suddenly fall for him?”

At that time, many people called them a golden couple, but Hu Xin didn't think so.

Fu Qingci is not worthy.

Speaking of this, Yan Sui was also a little embarrassed.

That dog-like system is inhuman; it's taking advantage of her being out of control of the world to make her a lapdog.

Now, when she tries to explain to people, all she can say is, "When you're young and don't know any better, you'll always go astray."

Hu Xin smiled faintly, "So now? Are you back on the right track?"

"Does it count?"

The two looked at each other and smiled.

After chatting for a while, Yan Sui hung up the phone.

Hu Xin then forwarded those chat logs to her.

Hu Xin: [Actually, many classmates have spoken up for you online, but we are just small fry and don't have enough influence.]

Hu Xin: [If you need their help, I can add you to the group.]

Yan Sui: [No need for now. Once I've sorted things out, you can come to Changqing Village and we'll organize a class reunion.]

Hu Xin: [Okay.]

Yan Sui also asked her for her address, planning to send her some fruits and vegetables grown by herself.

Hu Xin's chat logs are very useful; they are at least enough to help her regain some ground in public opinion.

But that's not enough. She needs to get more dirt on Yan Sen, nail him to the pillar of shame, and make him never dare to show his face again.

So she decided to wait a little longer.

I get up at this time, just in time for lunch.

Yan Shunzhong walked in hurriedly, his face beaming with joy.

“Sui Sui, the big boss who lives at the end of the village has decided to donate two million yuan to us in his personal capacity to help us build the lotus pond boardwalk.”

"Two million!" Yan Sui was greatly surprised.

Those damn rich people.

"Yes! The boardwalk over the lotus pond definitely won't cost two million. We can still plan it out properly."

Yan Sui then said, "Why not use the extra money to build a sports field? Uncle, didn't you say that our village's infrastructure isn't quite there yet?"

Yan Shunzhong was taken aback. "But this money was donated to you."

They've already mentioned names.

Yan Sui waved her hand, "There's not much left after the plank road is built."

Yan Shunzhong: "..."

It's several hundred thousand.

"Alright, I'll discuss it with the village committee later."

After lunch, a light drizzle began to fall outside.

Yan Sui had no intention of going out, but she saw a figure holding a black umbrella approaching from afar.

She recognized Fu Yansheng almost immediately.

He stood in the courtyard, his black coat accentuating his excellent proportions, his skin glowing with a warm, white hue.

"Mr. Fu, what brings you here?"

Fu Yansheng's voice was low: "There's something I need to discuss, about the calligraphy pieces you sent for framing."

Yan Sui raised her eyebrows, her eyes showing confusion.

Was there a mistake in the framing?

"It was my negligence that the framing technician stole your calligraphy and painting to resell it."

Yan Sui was taken aback. "Sold?"

Fu Yansheng nodded, "Someone just happened to offer a high price to buy it."

Driven by greed, he forged a fake painting in an attempt to deceive the authorities.

"Should we settle with him privately and demand compensation, or should we call the police to try and recover the money?"

He let Yan Sui choose.

Yan Sui naturally chose the latter.

"Mr. Fu, you look so handsome today, where are you headed?"

Fu Yansheng's eyebrows twitched slightly. "Beautiful?"

Yan Sui rested her chin on her hand, blinked, and a hint of a smile appeared in her bright eyes.

"But Mr. Fu has always been very handsome."

Fu Yansheng tightened his grip on the umbrella handle and pressed it down to block Yan Sui's view.

He pursed his thin lips, his expression flippant.

"It's my father's birthday, so I have to go home tonight."

Yan Sui suddenly realized, "So that's how it is."

"Oh, you didn't tell me beforehand, I didn't prepare a gift."

"Miss Yan, you're too kind. There's no need for such formalities."

After much thought, Yan Sui realized that she didn't have much to offer at the moment.

In the end, I decided to send him a basket of fresh strawberries.

"It's a small gift but carries great meaning, Mr. Fu, please don't mind."

She also put a small card in the basket, which Fu Yansheng didn't open, presumably it was a blessing.

Since it is a blessing, it should naturally be read by the birthday person themselves.

"Thank you, Miss Yan."

Yan Sui tilted her head and stared blankly at him.

Male fox spirit.
