“I know she’s the nanny’s daughter. She’s been renting luxury cars to go to school these past few days. You’re the real young master of the Zhou family.”
"How could she afford a sports car? Did you lend her the money?"
After Hao Min reminded him, Zhou Yi realized that there had been so many things since his rebirth that he had almost forgotten to cancel Su Qingjiao's black card.
Still want to buy a sports car?
Oh!
She doesn't even deserve it?
So, seeing that I wouldn't let her ride in the car, she thought she could use her black card to pay for the ride?
Zhou Yi immediately called the bank. The Zhou family owns the largest company in Luzhou, with annual bank transactions amounting to hundreds of millions. With just one call from Zhou Yi, the bank completed the matter in less than a minute.
After hanging up the phone, Zhou Yi saw that Hao Min was still staring at him blankly, so he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and look at Hao Min, his tone indescribably cold and distant.
"Is there anything else?"
Seeing Hao Min smile shyly at him, Zhou Yi took a step back, feeling utterly disgusted with her.
Su Qingjiao was usually quite nice to Hao Min. In her previous life, Su Qingjiao even threw her a birthday party worth hundreds of thousands of yuan. The two were recognized as best friends in their class.
So this is what best friends are like?
If he discovers that Su Qingjiao isn't from a wealthy family, would he immediately stab his friend in the back?
“Zhou Yi, I misunderstood you before. It’s all Su Qingjiao’s fault. She kept saying that you were some kind of nanny’s son, and that she even sponsored your school tuition. She said you ate and lived in her house.”
"I thought you were the kind of person who lived off a woman, which is why I hated you so much before."
"Now I apologize to you, can you forgive me?"
Zhou Yi carefully examined Hao Min for a moment.
Thinking to herself, she realized that it was no wonder Hao Min and Su Qingjiao were such good friends; they used the same tactics, shifting all the blame onto others and portraying themselves as naive and clueless.
Seeing Hao Min blush and adjust her bangs, Zhou Yi knew she was definitely overthinking things.
"Class is about to start." After a pause, Zhou Yi said coldly, "It's not your fault, it's just that I didn't want to be too high-profile before."
His grandmother wanted to protect his safety, fearing that he would reveal his true identity and follow in his parents' footsteps.
Hao Min cleverly understood the implied meaning and quickly replied:
"Don't worry, I know."
"If Su Qingjiao needs anything in the future, I'll tell you."
Hao Min knew when to stop and didn't ask Zhou Yi for his phone number or add him as a friend to chat.
She knew this couldn't be rushed, so she could only approach Zhou Yi step by step.
Hao Min made way for Zhou Yi and waited until the bell rang before heading to the classroom.
She hasn't won Zhou Yi over yet, so she can't get too close to him on the surface, lest she arouse Su Qingjiao's suspicion and cause her to sow discord.
-
Before long, it was afternoon, and Zhou Yi, who had just stepped out the door, received a call from his driver.
"Young Master, there seems to be a car accident ahead. All the cars are stuck on the elevated road."
"Please wait at the school for another half hour. I will try my best to get there within half an hour."
The driver's anxious voice came through the phone.
Zhou Yi had already walked out of the teaching building when he heard the driver's explanation. He immediately stopped and said, "Okay, call me when we get to the school gate."
Zhou Yi hung up the phone and turned to walk towards the school library.
Over the years, he has long forgotten most of the content of his university graduation exam. If he were to take the exam now, he would probably be lucky to get a passing grade.
He wanted to take advantage of this time to catch up on his knowledge. The school library had a rich collection of books in Chinese, English, French, Russian, and Japanese, which would be very helpful for him to improve his grades quickly.
at this time.
His classmates walked past him in twos and threes. Seeing that he didn't go to the school gate after school, but walked in another direction, several of Su Qingjiao's sycophants immediately started to laugh at Zhou Yi.
"Hey Zhou Yi, why didn't you get a luxury car to pick you up today? Did you run out of money to rent one?"
"Haha, why aren't you home after school? You don't even have money for the bus, do you? Zhou Yi, come here and beg me to call you brother, and I'll give you two yuan for the bus."
Zhou Yi ignored these brainless people. Prejudice is a mountain, and these idiots wouldn't believe anything he said. Even if he presented evidence to expose Su Qingjiao's accusations, these people might still deceive themselves.
It doesn't matter.
Wasn't Su Qingjiao going to take the invitations and invite this group of people to last year's ceremony?
At that time.
Hopefully, these opportunists won't regret it later.
The evening sunlight filtered through the dense foliage, casting dappled patterns of light on the ground.
A gust of evening wind blew by, and as Zhou Yi passed the secluded alleyway, the boy's suppressed, threatening voice rang out: "Stop shouting! Did you bring enough money from home as I told you to?"
"You think we can't find you if you sneak out the back door?"
"If you can't come up with the money today, then you're coming with us. Well, you'll regret it later."
Zhou Yi paused in his steps.
Just ahead on the path, three slender boys were blocking a girl's path. One of them was saying menacingly, "What is this? Bullying?"
The girl was tall, standing at 1.7 meters. Her slender body was huddled in her school uniform, her head bowed. She was not much shorter than the three boys who bullied her.
Zhou Yi took half a step forward.
But then, having discovered something, he pulled his foot back.
Meanwhile, when the girl saw someone coming, she took advantage of the three boys' inattention and shoved the boy in the middle, then ran quickly towards Zhou Yi, shouting, "Hey, help me!"
The three boys saw the girl running towards Zhou Yi.
They followed with fierce looks, threatening as they chased after them, "You dare ask for help again?"
"Kid, I advise you not to meddle in other people's business."
As Zhou Yi watched the girl run up to him, he immediately stepped back and became wary.
It's a ghost!
Is it her?
His memory wasn't bad. Yesterday, the girl pretended to be lame and deliberately approached him, which aroused his suspicion. And today, she was deliberately approaching him again.
The girl had her head down, and her thick bangs covered all her facial features. But no matter how much she pretended to be weak, her aura was stronger than that of three boys combined just by standing there.
Not to mention, the three bullying boys were all skinny and short...
Faced with this girl who had tried to get close to him several times, Zhou Yi remained calm, even though he could tell from her demeanor and figure that she was definitely good-looking.
But Zhou Yi showed her no mercy or affection whatsoever!
"Hey classmate, help me."
“They recognized some thugs from outside the school as their bosses, and they often bullied classmates at school. They also made me bring them money from home every day.”
“If I don’t take enough money, they will beat me. Look, these are all injuries.”
Hearing the girl lower her head and utter that emotionless plea for help, as if she had practiced it beforehand, and then pull up her sleeve to reveal her snow-white skin with several obvious red marks on it, he was struck by her voice.
