Chapter Fifteen: Did they escape?
Upon hearing this, Zhou Yanzhe's face instantly darkened.
He personally sponsored a poor student.
How could he not know what it means to sponsor impoverished students?
The thought of someone possibly having meals with Xu Yihuan, accompanying her to school, and even tutoring her with her homework is very appealing.
A dull, persistent pain welled up in Zhou Yanzhe's heart.
It feels sour and tingly.
I feel extremely uncomfortable.
"Impossible!" Zhou Yanzhe raised his voice, denying Wu Qingqing's statement categorically.
Wu Qingqing looked embarrassed after being yelled at by Zhou Yanzhe.
She was just saying it casually; who knew Zhou Yanzhe would react so strongly?
He twitched the corner of his mouth.
"Hey, I was just saying it offhand. After all, Huanhuan wouldn't sponsor a poor student in her senior year of high school, would she? If she wanted to, she would have done it already."
"Besides, with you here, Huanhuan probably wouldn't have the idea of sponsoring impoverished students."
Wu Qingqing's voice was soft, and every word she spoke struck a chord with Zhou Yanzhe.
Upon hearing this, Zhou Yanzhe breathed a sigh of relief.
Indeed, as she said, with her around, Xu Yihuan would never have the heart to support a poor student.
Turning his gaze away from the next room, Zhou Yanzhe took two steps forward first.
"Let's go, it's time for us to go back."
The car has been parked at the entrance for so long, but no one has shown up.
If we don't go back soon, my mother will probably get worried.
Thinking of his mother, whose controlling nature was terrifying, Zhou Yanzhe's eyes drooped slightly.
She replied softly, "Okay."
Wu Qingqing had obviously also remembered this matter.
With a start, he immediately followed Zhou Yanzhe's steps.
After taking a couple of steps, my gaze unconsciously fell on the neighbor next door again.
The Maybach was still parked at the entrance, but Xu Yihuan and Tan Zhixu's figures had already disappeared.
Seeing the bright lights on in the villa next door, Wu Qingqing's heart jumped.
I wonder if my uncle has succeeded yet.
No, she still needs to find a chance to go next door to check on things later.
Meanwhile, Xu Yihuan took Tan Zhixu home.
To make it easier for Liu Changyuan to do the work, she left only Wang Ma at home.
My father is also working overtime outside today.
Xu Yihuan glanced at the spiral staircase, thinking that Liu Changyuan was currently up there stealing things.
A cold light flashed in Xu Yihuan's eyes.
"Miss, you're back! Are you hungry? Would you like me to cook you something to eat?"
Wang Ma came out of the cubicle wearing a coat.
I was taken aback when I saw Tan Zhixu.
Xu Yihuan rarely brings her classmates home.
The people she saw most often were Zhou Yanzhe and Xu Yihuan from next door.
I never expected to see Miss bring other male classmates home today.
A smile immediately bloomed on Wang Ma's face.
"Miss, who is this gentleman?"
She had never seen such a handsome boy before; he was even better looking than her young master.
She knew that the young lady didn't bring her friends home simply because she didn't like their looks.
Upon hearing this, Xu Yihuan withdrew her gaze from upstairs.
She replied obediently, "Aunt Wang, this is my classmate. Please take good care of her for me."
"I have something to do, I'll go upstairs first and come down in a bit."
Wang Ma smiled radiantly and readily agreed.
Tan Zhixu casually glanced around at the building inside.
A beige duplex apartment, surrounded by antique calligraphy and paintings.
Understated yet luxurious.
Within two seconds, Tan Zhixu calmly withdrew his gaze.
Because Wang Ma had already washed the fruit and handed it to him, and started chatting with him.
Meanwhile, Xu Yihuan went upstairs as if nothing had happened.
The footsteps didn't slow down intentionally; they just stomped on the solid wood floor one step at a time.
It was as if I had stepped on someone's heart.
Just as Xu Yihuan had expected, Liu Changyuan was now sneaking around in Xu Yihuan's study.
He had already heard Qingqing mention that Xu Yihuan had a habit of tucking important items into books.
I imagine this amulet will also be placed in the study.
Liu Changyuan was rummaging through drawers and cabinets in the study.
But what they wanted didn't show up at all.
Just when Liu Changyuan was at his wit's end, his eyes suddenly lit up.
His gaze fell on a book on the desk.
All the other books were stacked neatly, but this one was placed right in the center of the table.
It's as if it's showing that the owner just looked at it and cherished it very much.
And you can tell that the book is a bit bulging.
Something was clearly hidden inside.
Unexpectedly, Xu Yihuan just casually placed her precious item on the table.
Liu Changyuan's expression became excited.
If it contains a talisman for academic success...
That would be great! That way, Qingqing can get into Nanjing University smoothly.
Then he will be more valued by the Zhou family.
She might eventually marry Zhou Yanzhe and become Mrs. Zhou.
Wouldn't his status as the uncle also rise accordingly?
Liu Changyuan was so excited about his idea that his hands were trembling.
I walked carefully to the desk.
I just picked up the book to turn the pages.
Footsteps could be heard coming from the doorway.
From heavy to light, from far to near.
Is Xu Yihuan back?!
Liu Changyuan's pupils suddenly contracted.
He suddenly looked up at the doorway.
The door to the entrance wasn't closed properly, leaving a fairly large gap.
No wonder the sound could be heard.
But didn't Qingqing say that Xu Yihuan wouldn't be home until after nine o'clock today?
It's only a little past eight o'clock now.
Liu Changyuan gritted his teeth and picked up the book on the table.
As the footsteps drew closer, Liu Changyuan's heart began to race.
Fortunately, the academic charm wasn't small, so it was easy to find even when it was in a book.
As Liu Changyuan heard the increasingly loud footsteps, his heart pounded wildly, and his hands moved faster and faster.
finally!
The footsteps stopped at the door.
The doorknob was pressed!
Xu Yihuan paused for a moment, then pressed the doorknob.
Push open the door.
The first thing you see is a messy study.
The books on the table were in disarray, and the books on the bookshelf were scattered about.
Xu Yihuan froze on the spot.
Anger immediately welled up inside him.
"What's going on? Has my study been broken into?"
Xu Yihuan gritted her teeth, her voice not quiet, and could be heard clearly throughout the room.
Xu Yihuan walked to the desk, picked up the book on the table, and shook it twice.
The sachet I casually put inside for the cashback reward for positive reviews is gone.
A thoughtful look flashed in Xu Yihuan's eyes.
"Why is my academic talisman gone? Who tampered with it?!"
Xu Yihuan was shouting and yelling, acting like a shrew, if you ignored her calm expression.
Xu Yihuan walked around the study twice.
Her original intention was to catch him in the act, and she searched everywhere he might be hiding, but she still couldn't find Liu Changyuan.
I thought Liu Changyuan was just hiding, but now it seems he really did run away first?
Xu Yihuan held her forehead.
Oh no, we've gone too far.
but.
Xu Yihuan glanced at the newly installed surveillance camera in the corner of the study.
But so what if they ran away? It's not a big deal.
