When Lin Jiu saw Su Moyun, he wanted to withdraw his hand quickly because he felt shy.
But Huo Shen held this hand tightly.
The harder she struggled, the more it gave people the illusion that the two of them were holding hands tightly and sweetly.
Su Moyun stared at the two people in front of her, especially her eyes fell on their hands. She didn't expect that the two of them would develop so quickly, holding hands during the meal. She quickly explained, "You guys continue, I just came back to get a bag. I have something to do today, so I'll leave first."
She walked over and picked up her bag. Lin Jiu grabbed her wrist and said, "I have something to do too. Come with me."
Huo Shen raised his eyes slightly, and he found Lin Jiu's panicked look very interesting.
But the more Lin Jiu acted like this, the more Huo Shen didn't want to let go of her hand.
Su Moyun looked at Lin Jiu's pitiful eyes begging her and wanted to help her, but when she saw Huo Shen's sharp eyes, she shrank her neck and said, "Xiao Jiu, finish this steak quickly, otherwise it will be cold and not tasty."
Su Moyun quickly slipped out of the private room with her bag. Lin Jiu narrowed his eyes and said, "Su Moyun, just wait!"
"Eat quickly, otherwise it will get cold. This is her reminder for you." Huo Shen raised the corners of his lips and stared at Lin Jiu in front of him.
Lin Jiu slowly turned his head to look at Huo Shen, "Su Moyun has left, can you let go of my hand?"
"Okay, as long as you eat it yourself." Huo Shen reluctantly let go of Lin Jiu's hand.
"I can't eat anymore, pack it up!"
Lin Jiu hurriedly picked up the packaged steak and turned away.
"Remember what you promised me." Huo Shen adjusted the cuffs of his suit, his every move full of elegance.
"I know. Let's go to Su's house and ask Su Moyun to tutor me!"
As soon as they walked out of the private room, Lin Jiu put his arm around Su Moyun's shoulders and said, "Moyun! You—actually—betrayed me!"
"Lin Jiu, why did you come out? I think you and my cousin are a good match." Su Moyun smiled mischievously, "Actually, it was my cousin who asked me to meet you today. He said he wanted to apologize to you for the bracelet incident and was afraid you wouldn't come, so he asked me to meet you here this way."
Lin Jiu poked Su Moyun's head and said, "You are so bad. I will find you a cousin tomorrow."
In the shadow of the garage, after Lin Jiu's car drove away, Lin Yao and Gu Xi walked out.
"I didn't expect that Lin Jiu would actually be so close to Huo Shen." Gu Xi's voice was shaking with anger.
"Xiao Xi, I think you and Huo Shen are a better match." Lin Yao took Gu Xi's arm and whispered something in her ear.
Of course, Gu Xi felt that she was destined to be Mrs. Huo.
Since she was a child, people have said that she is a good match for Huo Shen of the Huo Group in the imperial capital.
But now, this Lin Jiu threatens her position as Mrs. Huo, so she has to get rid of her.
Lin Yao glanced at Gu Xi, who was shaking with anger beside her, and sneered in her heart, "I am Mrs. Huo, but I am also happy to see how you, Gu Xi, deal with Lin Jiu."
From that day on, Gu Xi took advantage of the fact that he and Su Moyun were in the same class and not only sat at the same table with her, but also took good care of her every day.
"Moyun, can I come to your house after school today?" Gu Xi sat next to Su Moyun and acted coquettishly.
"Gu Xi, I have to help Lin Jiu with his homework at home after school."
Gu Xi was shocked. It was unbelievable that Huo Shen's cousin had to tutor Lin Jiu, the young lady from the slums, every day after school.
"Mo Yun, it's too hard. Don't tutor that Lin Jiu anymore. She's a hopeless case. Tutoring her is useless. I'll tutor you later!"
"Who said tutoring is useless?" Lin Jiu stood beside Su Moyun and took the schoolbag from her hand. "Gu Xi, you think you are so good at studying that you still need tutoring for Moyun."
"Lin Jiu!" Gu Xi stood up suddenly. "There will be a monthly exam next week. If you can beat me, I, Gu Xi, will go to school through the small gate from now on. If you lose, I will go to Su Moyun's house to tutor you."
"Lin Jiu, don't agree." Su Moyun was anxious because she knew that Lin Jiu's grades were... very bad. If Lin Hong hadn't stepped in, she would never have been able to go to No. 2 Middle School.
"You can ask me to agree to this, but here's the catch: if you lose, you have to run ten laps around the playground in your swimsuit."
"Sure, don't even wear a swimsuit, Lin Jiu, you really have confidence in yourself. I've seen your grades. If you didn't get in through the back door, you wouldn't even be able to get into No. 2 Middle School. And I also know you never pay attention in class."
"Don't say so much. When the time comes, you must accept the loss."
In the previous life, Lin Jiu scored a little higher than Lin Yao in the first monthly exam, which made Feng Pingping unhappy. In order to please Feng Pingping and to integrate into this family, Lin Jiu deliberately did poorly in every exam in order to win Feng Pingping's favor.
Now, she no longer needs to pretend to have poor grades to please the Lin family.
However, just after Lin Jiu finished his bet with Gu Xi, the school notified the senior high school students that the monthly exam rules for the next week would be temporarily changed to include sports events such as long-distance running, shot put, and standing long jump.
Lin Jiu felt a little panicked because her period was next week and she got zero points in the long-distance running event.
