"But Xuehui, you should get some rest too. Next Friday is July 1st, Army Day. I remember you have a social party to attend then."
This sentence was full of implications, and Zhao Xuehui certainly knew what the other person meant.
She seemed to understand instantly and took the initiative to invite, "Teacher Zhou, if you don't mind, I would like to invite you to this social gathering. We can dance the first dance together at the ball."
When Zhao Xuehui said this, she looked like she had mustered all her courage.
She even had a hint of trepidation on her face, afraid that Zhou Changgui would not agree to her request.
Her appearance greatly pleased Zhou Changgui's ego, making him extremely proud.
“Alright,” Zhou Changgui said with a smile, having achieved his goal. “Since you’ve taken the initiative to invite me, Xuehui, I’ll respectfully accept your invitation.”
Looking at Zhou Changgui's hypocritical appearance, Zhao Xuehui felt extremely disgusted, but she could only nod in agreement.
Meanwhile, Sun Chunjuan and the others chatted not far behind them the whole time, without ever going up to disturb Zhou Changgui and Zhao Xuehui's conversation.
At this moment, seeing that Zhou Changgui had arrived at his residence, Sun Chunjuan smiled and stepped forward, affectionately taking Zhao Xuehui's arm.
"Xuehui, you don't misunderstand me and Teacher Zhou, do you? We were just discussing a research topic together today. We got back a little late, so we came back together."
Sun Chunjuan smiled and winked at Zhao Xuehui, then smiled meaningfully at Zhou Changgui.
"Besides, I know better than anyone else who our teacher Zhou truly cares about."
Sun Chunjuan's words were full of hidden meaning, and she looked at Zhao Xuehui with a smile and teasing: "Besides, Teacher Zhou and I both live in school-allocated housing, so it's normal to live in the same community. Our Xuehui, please don't misunderstand me. After all, I'm still looking forward to drinking your wedding wine!"
Looking at Sun Chunjuan blinking her eyes as if she were lying through her teeth, Zhao Xuehui found it hard to reconcile the image of Sun Chunjuan scheming against her that she had heard before.
How can one person have so many faces and be so good at disguising them?
She and Sun Chunjuan had been friends for many years, yet she had been deceived by her all along; it was all just a scam from beginning to end.
However, while Sun Chunjuan is a good actress, Zhao Xuehui is naturally a better actress.
"Oh dear, Chunjuan!"
Zhao Xuehui looked as if her thoughts had been exposed, glanced shyly at Sun Chunjuan, and couldn't help but glare at her reproachfully.
"If you keep talking to me like that, I'll really get angry and never talk to you again!"
Seeing that Zhao Xuehui had indeed been appeased by Zhou Changgui, Sun Chunjuan glanced at Zhou Changgui in front of her, but her mind was still on the words Zhou Changgui had said in front of that group of thugs.
The more Sun Chunjuan thought about it, the angrier she became.
I never expected this kid to go so far. In order to protect his own life, he was willing to push me out and make me give up my innocence!
If it weren't for this unexpected event tonight, he really wouldn't have known that Zhou Changgui was far more heartless and cold-blooded than he had imagined!
Fortunately, she had already been by Chen Yaofu's side beforehand. As long as she could resolve Zhao Jinhui's matter, she would be able to get rid of this inexplicably confident yet ordinary person!
Sun Chunjuan gave Zhou Changgui a subtle glare, then smiled at Zhao Xuehui and said softly, "Alright, we won't chat with you here anymore. It's getting late, Xuehui, you should go back and rest early too. We still have research to continue tomorrow, so we won't keep you any longer!"
Sun Chunjuan had a very carefree demeanor, as if she were truly as warm and straightforward as Zhao Xuehui had known her before.
However, after learning what kind of person Sun Chunjian really was, Zhao Xuehui's mindset completely changed.
Even if she were to continue putting on a show of sisterly affection in front of Sun Chunjuan, she would feel no psychological pressure whatsoever. On the contrary, she would handle it with ease, all in order to expose the true colors of these two people as soon as possible.
"Then you should all go back and rest early."
Zhao Xuehui smiled and affectionately pinched Sun Chunjuan's nose: "You little rascal, you always like to joke around in front of me, but you only do it because I'm nice to you. Go to sleep now, goodnight!"
Seeing that Zhao Xuehui was still the same as before, it was obvious that she had no grudges against Zhou Changgui.
For some reason, Sun Chunjuan felt both relieved and a little irritated.
She wanted Zhao Xuehui to remain as unguarded as before, but she also wanted her to despise Zhou Changgui.
This conflicting feeling swirled in Sun Chunjuan's mind, making her increasingly concerned about Zhou Changgui's choice in the face of danger.
But she didn't show it; instead, she nodded slightly to Zhao Xuehui.
"Good night!"
After saying goodbye to Zhou Changgui and Sun Chunjuan, Zhao Xuehui turned away, and the smile on her face vanished completely the moment she turned around.
"Alright, the matter is resolved."
Zhao Xuehui took the initiative to stand in front of Jiang Sheng, and even winked at him.
"How was it? Was your second sister's performance acceptable?"
Jiang Sheng quickly gave Zhao Xuehui a thumbs up and kept praising her in a flattering manner.
"It's more than just passable, it's textbook acting! As the underling, I'm completely amazed!"
Zhao Defu, who was standing next to him, was also afraid that Zhao Xuehui was still angry, so he quickly nodded in agreement.
"Yes, Second Sister, you acted so well. If I were Zhou Changgui, I would definitely think that you are a little woman who likes me very much."
"You can forget about it!"
Jiang Sheng quickly glared at Zhou Changgui and chuckled, "Hey, you're trying to take advantage of my second sister, aren't you!"
Zhao Defu quickly chuckled and scratched his head: "I'm not taking advantage of Second Sister at all. I'm just honored to be able to help her. Just thinking about what kind of retribution Zhou Changgui will face later makes me feel incredibly happy!"
If she weren't angry, that would be fine, but once this topic came up, Zhao Xuehui stepped forward with a smile and said, "You really don't think I'd be so angry that I couldn't sleep because of a scumbag like Zhou Changgui, do you?"
As Zhao Xuehui walked forward, she said casually, "I've already let go of this person. After seeing through what kind of person he was a few days ago, the more I think about the past, the more disgusted I feel. It's really not worth being sad or upset over such a hypocrite!"
