"Yes, I've thought it through after what happened yesterday. You're letting me go to school for my own good." Only then did Zu'an notice Hong Xingying following behind them. He saw that Hong Xingying's expression was indifferent and he didn't even look at him. Zu'an couldn't help but feel annoyed. Why is this guy so arrogant? Do I owe him money?
"You're a promising young man, a promising young man indeed." Chu Zhongtian stroked his beard, feeling quite pleased. "If Chu Yan knew how motivated you are now, she would be very happy."
Upon hearing the name Chu Yan, a hint of fanaticism flashed in Hong Xingying's eyes behind him, but he quickly concealed it.
Qin Wanru then said to Zu An, "Since you've decided to go, Xingying will escort you. He will also be attending the academy from today onwards, so you can look after each other. Xingying is a smart and sensible boy, so you should learn from him."
Hong Xing hurriedly bowed and said, "Madam, you flatter me. I will do my best to take care of him."
Zu An secretly curled his lip. To put it nicely, it was looking after someone; to put it bluntly, it was surveillance. He figured that his truancy yesterday had made them worried, so they sent someone to prevent such a thing from happening again.
At the same time, it suddenly dawned on him that no wonder this guy was angry before. It turned out that he had finally gotten the chance to go to school, but because of his injury, his dream was almost ruined, so naturally he was angry.
Although the colleges in this country teach all students, admission is not easy. You have to prove that you are exceptionally talented, right? Of course, people like Zaan who have connections are an exception.
People like Hong Xingying, who also had the status of servants in the Chu family, would find it difficult to attend school without their master's approval.
But shouldn't he thank me? If it weren't for me, how would he have had the opportunity to go to school?
Despite gaining some anger points, Zaun was still unhappy, feeling like he had been taken advantage of.
The Chu couple gave a few more instructions before leaving, and Hong Xing nodded and followed them away.
Next, Zuan began to wash up. Someone brought breakfast, and Zuan casually invited Cheng Shouping to sit down and eat with him.
His unintentional act moved Cheng Shouping to tears: "Although the son-in-law is a bit stupid, a bit boastful, and a bit incompetent... he is still quite good to me and doesn't treat me like a servant. Hmm, I must help him gain a foothold in the Chu family."
If Zu'an knew what he was thinking, he would probably kick him.
"Cough cough~" A hunched figure passed by the window.
While eating breakfast, Zu'an heard a whisper in his ear: "Don't skip school again today. Remember what happened with Wei Hongde."
Zuan looked up and saw that Old Man Mi's aged figure had already left from the window.
"Did you hear anything just now?" Zu An couldn't help but nudge Cheng Shouping, who was eating and drinking heartily beside him.
"No, hiccup~" Cheng Shouping let out a long hiccup, his eyes never leaving the things on the table.
"Aren't you afraid of choking to death?" Zu An rolled his eyes at him disdainfully, but in his heart he was thinking, was that a secret telepathic technique? This old man is really a bit creepy. For some reason, he was a little afraid of this mysterious old man. In comparison, he was not so afraid of the Chu couple.
Looks like I'll have to at least take a stroll around the school today.
After breakfast, Cheng Shouping helped Zu An pack some of his belongings. Then the two went to the gate, where Hong Xingying was already waiting with a sword in his hand. Seeing them come out, he looked impatient and asked, "Why did it take so long?"
Hong Xingying's anger level increased by 99!
Is this guy crazy?
Zu An immediately objected: "Are you the son-in-law or am I? What's wrong with asking you to wait?"
"What kind of son-in-law are you? Everyone in the household knows. Who do you think you can fool?" Hong Xingying sneered.
Zuan tilted his head and looked him up and down: "Didn't I owe you money before?"
Hong Xingying was taken aback: "No, not at all." He didn't understand why the other party would suddenly ask this.
"Then why are you so hostile towards me the moment we meet?" Zuan asked.
Hong Xingying's breath hitched. He hadn't expected the other party to lay their cards on the table so directly. However, he glanced at Cheng Shouping beside him and remained cautious, not admitting anything: "I'm not hostile towards you. I just feel sorry for Miss. Miss is such a stunning and elegant person. How could you possibly be worthy of her?"
Cheng Shouping said hesitantly, "Well... he is, after all, the son-in-law, so it's not appropriate to say it like that."
Zuan chuckled, surprised that this guy was actually quite protective of his master at a crucial moment.
Hong Xingying gave him a cold look: "Do you think there's anything wrong with what I said? Can you point out what's wrong with him?"
Cheng Shouping thought for a long time before answering, "Although the son-in-law is not good at this or that, at least he is good-looking."
Zuan, exasperated, pushed him aside. It was a miracle that this guy had survived in the Chu family until now: "Oh, I see. So you have feelings for Chu Yan."
Hong Xingying's fair face instantly turned red: "I didn't, I didn't, you're talking nonsense!"
Seeing his repeated denials, Zuan couldn't help but sigh, "A capable servant and a beautiful young lady, what a poignant love story! But isn't it a bit shameless of you to like someone else's wife?"
"You!" Hong Xingying glared at him angrily, then turned her head away, not wanting to lower herself to his level.
Hong Xingying's anger level increased by 100!
Zuan, however, was unwilling to let him go and chased after him, putting his hand on his back: "Then let me put it another way, the woman you like became my wife, that makes you seem less of a scumbag, does that make you feel better?"
