Chapter 99: It's Xu Zichen
Since Shen Yao promised to help her investigate, Lu Siyin felt relieved and put down her phone.
She could only wait quietly. She had a hunch that there might be a huge conspiracy behind the dark poison. Late that
night
After the whole world fell asleep, everything was silent, and only the insects hidden in the bushes made a few low sounds from time to time.
Zhou Zipei opened the door in neat clothes, took a look at the closed bedroom next door, and then went downstairs quietly.
Zhou Ri was already waiting downstairs. When he saw him, he just opened his mouth and was stopped by Zhou Zipei's eyes.
He suddenly realized, shut up, and walked outside with Master Zhou. The street lights in the yard were dim, and it was windy at night, but he didn't feel cold.
Zhou Zipei's face was no longer smiling, and he looked cold and surly. "Who?"
Zhou Ri deliberately lowered his voice and said a name: "Xu Zichen, Miss Yin's cousin."
Zhou Zipei didn't have any impression of this person, and Zhou Ri reminded him: "Last time at Master Pei's birthday party, this person made things difficult for Miss Yin."
Zhou Zipei thought about it and had some impression, and his eyes always fell on the dark window on the second floor.
"Xu Zichen was the one behind this. She hinted to Li Yaru that if she could sabotage Miss Yin's college entrance examination, and the top scorer was in Class A, she would be promoted to the headmaster. This condition attracted Li Yaru, so she went to find Zhang Hang, Miss Yin's former math teacher, who had a grudge against them. Then he paid a lot of money to let Zhang Hui do the work, and then this incident happened."
Zhou Ri recounted the whole story of this incident .
After listening to Zhou Zipei, she sneered and sneered: "Heh, a few fleas dared to dance in front of me, it seems that they have lived enough."
Zhou Ri lowered his head and dared not respond.
Although Xu Zichen was indeed smart, she seemed to have no involvement in the whole process, but it was all under her control, and it was all because of her. At that time, even if the police found out something, she could get herself out of it with a clear conscience.
However, she had planned everything, but she had not expected that behind Miss Yin was Master Zhou, whom the whole Kyoto dared not offend. Her tricks of playing house were more or less insignificant.
Even if she cleared herself, so what? From the beginning, Master Zhou had never thought of letting go of anyone who was related to this matter.
"I remember," Zhou Zipei suddenly said, "Xu Zichen was adopted by the Chen family."
Zhou Ri came back to his senses and immediately replied, "Yes, but not adopted. Miss Yin's mother is her aunt, and the Chen family seems to like her very much."
"Really?" He said lightly.
Zhou Zipei's face was hidden in the dark night. The light that was clearly extinguished could only fall on his shoulders. It was impossible to see the emotions on his face, but Zhou Ri shuddered suddenly.
Soon it was not the case, not only Xu Zichen, but also the Chen family.
...
Chen Family
Ever since Xu Zichen had said some seductive words to Li Yaru not long ago, she had been feeling uneasy.
She sat at her desk and reviewed anxiously. The college entrance examination was tomorrow, and nothing could go wrong.
Then she thought, what could go wrong?
It was just that Lu Siyin was slightly injured and could not take the college entrance examination. Her life would not be in danger.
The two sisters lived together and had lost the protection of the Chen family. What kind of trouble could
they cause? Even if they found out, it had nothing to do with her. She had only said a few words to Li Yaru. Li Yaru was greedy and misunderstood her meaning. She had done nothing.
Thinking of this, Xu Zichen calmed down a little and focused her eyes on the notebook in front of her. The door opened
with a click
, and Xu Shuyan came in with some fruit. Her voice was deliberately low, and she put the things next to Xu Zichen's hands. Seeing that she was studying, she looked pleased.
"Zichen, study hard and do well tomorrow."
"Yes, I will, aunt." Xu Zichen looked well-behaved.
It seemed that he could always be controlled by her and would not resist.
Xu Shuyan looked at her with satisfaction, and touched Xu Zichen's head lovingly.
"Aunt, have you received any news from your cousin?" Xu Zichen tried calmly.
"Why mention them?" Xu Shuyan frowned, and she didn't seem to want to talk about this.
Seeing this, Xu Zichen smiled even more. It seemed that his aunt didn't know about Lu Siyin and Lu Jingshu's grades in school these few times.
She pinched a grape with her fingers, put it in her mouth, and changed the subject: "It's sweet, thank you aunt."
Xu Shuyan didn't think much about it, relaxed her eyebrows, and looked at her with a smile: "If it's sweet, eat more."
...
The next day, June 7, the National College
Entrance Examination Before going to bed, Lu Siyin reviewed all the knowledge just in case, so that she would not forget it during the exam.
She heard a knock on the door, turned over impatiently and covered her head to continue sleeping, and forgot what day it was today.
Zhou Zipei waited patiently in front of the door for a minute, and seeing no movement inside, he couldn't help but feel helpless.
"I'm coming in," he shouted to the inside.
There was no response, Zhou Zipei didn't hesitate, and directly pressed the door handle and pushed it open.
If he didn't get up, it would be too late.
He immediately saw Lu Siyin curled up in the quilt, her cheeks a little red from sleep, her brows wrinkled unconsciously, as if she was annoyed by the culprit who disturbed her sweet dream.
Lu Siyin curled up in the quilt again, but before she fell asleep, she felt someone patting her gently.
She mumbled something and buried her face deeper in the pillow.
Seeing her like this, Zhou Zipei smiled and said, "Get up, or you will be late."
Lu Siyin did not respond, her mind was dull, it was okay to be late, Teacher Li would not blame her.
Three seconds later, she opened her eyes suddenly, still confused and dazed after waking up. She rolled her eyes and her sight fell on Zhou Zipei, who was standing at the head of the bed and bending over to look at her. Her mind was completely clear.
Damn it, today is the college entrance examination.
Lu Siyin hurriedly got up from the bed, rubbed her hair, rushed into the bathroom with her head in disarray, and muttered, "It's going to be late, it's going to be late, it's going to be late..."
Zhou Zipei looked at her in a hurry, smiled, and then walked to the desk resignedly, putting the Chinese books, exercise books, notebooks and other things on it into her schoolbag.
After doing all this, Lu Siyin had already put on her clothes, shaking her ponytail, and walked out of the bathroom. Seeing him zipping up his schoolbag, she stood at the door and waited for a few seconds as usual, and then went downstairs with him. Downstairs
Breakfast
was already on the table, and Lu Jingshu sat on a chair beside her, playing with her mobile phone and waiting for her.
There was an empty bowl in front of her, and it seemed that she had finished eating.
Lu Siyin ran down from upstairs and sat next to her and started to eat fried dough sticks.
She ate very quickly, in just ten minutes.
Seeing that she had finished eating, Lu Jingshu turned off her phone without saying a word and put it in her pocket, then stood up. Just as she was about to take her schoolbag from the sofa, Chu Mian snatched it away first. She paused, took it from him without saying anything.
Chu Mian looked at her cold and beautiful face, took a step towards her, and the distance between them was instantly shortened.
Lu Jingshu had to look up at him, enduring her increasingly irregular heartbeat, and asked calmly: "Is there something wrong?"
Chu Mian saw her flawless white fingertips resting on her side, his heart moved, and suddenly he had an urge to grab them.
Thinking so, he did so.
Lu Jingshu curled her fingers imperceptibly, frowned slightly, but did not break away in the end.
Chu Mian held her slightly cold hand, raised his eyebrows, and whispered: "I have something urgent to do, so I can't take you there. Good luck on the exam."
Lu Jingshu pursed her lips, hummed lightly, and then turned and left.
She put her hand, which still carried his warmth, into her trouser pocket, with the same expression on her face.
