Chapter 174 Fiancé
On this day, when Alia returned to school from the lab, she walked very slowly after getting off the car. Zhang Wei looked back at her in confusion, then said:
"It's okay. I'm going to take a taxi anyway. There's no difference between taking one person and two people."
Since the emergency on the bus that day, Zhang Wei was willing to take the bus when going out, but never took it when returning to school.
She believed that "a gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall". Although no accidents were discovered last time and the puppy was well taken care of by the security guard and would still wag its tail when it saw them, the suburbs of London were sparsely populated. If any danger occurred, no one would know even if she shouted at the top of her lungs.
So when Zhang Wei saw that Alia looked worried, he thought she was worried about the taxi fare.
"No," Alia shook her head. "I'm not thinking about that, thank you. Maybe."
She paused again, a pleading look on her face. "Can you do me one more favor? Although it's a bit unreasonable to ask, I don't know who else to ask."
"Do you still need money?"
Zhang Wei couldn't think of any other help she needed other than this, but she had already borrowed it last time, so if it was within her psychological range, it wouldn't be a big deal to borrow a little more.
"No, it's not." Alia shook her head quickly, bit her lip and continued with determination:
"It's my ex-fiancé, he came to London..."
After hearing this, Zhang Wei understood why she didn't want to find anyone else. No one wanted too many people to know her privacy.
"So what do you need me to do?"
"My brother said he wants to see me, and I also want to give him the money in person. I wonder if you can go with me. I'm a little scared..."
Zhang Wei frowned. This might be a little dangerous. She didn't know if her fiancé would turn love into hate.
She didn't reply to Alia right away, but just asked, "Did you agree on where to meet?"
"I haven't agreed to meet yet, but I think it's necessary, so we haven't set a time yet."
"Your idea is right, but from what you said about him before, it seems that he is not an easy person to talk to. You should prepare for the worst." Zhang Wei reminded.
"I know. Although he prefers playing to studying, he's not difficult to get along with. In fact, he doesn't want to marry me."
Zhang Wei was speechless after hearing what Alia said. It seemed that both parents wanted to get married, so she might as well let them settle it themselves.
So Zhang Wei came up with a method with a higher safety factor:
"How about this, have him come to the school gate and explain everything there. Have your brother come too so there's a witness."
"Let's wait and see how he's doing at the door. If he's fine, you and your brother can go out and talk to him. If he's not, forget it. I'll be keeping a close eye on you with the guards. If anything goes wrong, I'll come and rescue you."
This way, she can attack or defend, and she doesn't have to get involved in her housework. I guess other people don't want an outsider like her to be there.
To be honest, I had heard about the "Jiang Ge case" in my previous life and became wary of this situation.
Alia immediately agreed to her plan and her steps became much lighter.
If Alia really didn't want others to know about this, Zhang Wei would even want to ask Professor Cruise to go with her. She was completely different from Butch in avoiding others knowing about this.
After Butch dumped her last girlfriend, she found a new one and soon everyone knew about it. Zhang Wei also admired her.
She had no doubt that Butch would let everyone know if he was about to get engaged.
But one is voluntary and the other is forced, so there is really no way to compare them.
The time was set for Monday afternoon, which was the time they were going to the laboratory, and there were not many people coming in and out of the school gate.
She and Alia deliberately went out a few minutes later. Zhang Wei saw an Indian boy with darker skin at a glance. Next to him was Alia's brother.
He was taller and fatter than Alia's brother, and looked younger. He was wearing a traditional Indian robe. Zhang Wei looked around carefully, and when he saw nothing that looked like he was hiding any weapons, he said,
"He doesn't look very fierce, but remember not to get too close to him."
Alia held the card with the money ready in her hand, took a deep breath and slowly walked out of the school gate.
Zhang Wei looked carefully at the Indian boy's expression after seeing Alia. He didn't show any great surprise or disgust, but just ordinary joy of seeing the person he had been waiting for.
Although they were not far away, Zhang Wei could not understand what they were saying. She felt that the communication was okay, but her brother seemed a little excited.
Zhang Wei saw her holding out the card, but the boy didn't take it. Alia said something, but the boy still didn't take it. Then her brother wanted to take it, but Alia immediately took it back.
Anyway, judging from their tone, Alia and her fiancé seemed to have the same idea, only her brother seemed more emotional.
Then they talked about something, and her brother went back to school angrily. Alia ignored him, continued to talk to the boy for a few more words, and then turned back to school.
The boy didn't show any reluctance to stay. A car stopped beside him and he got in and left.
"How is it?" Zhang Wei was also a little curious.
"He doesn't want me to pay him back, he said it wasn't his money."
"Then you should keep it. You still have to go to college."
Zhang Wei felt that there was nothing wrong with it. If the man's family wanted it, they could ask Alia's family. Families of minors should fulfill their obligation to raise their children.
"I will return your money tomorrow. The rest will be enough for me to spend for a few years. Thank you, Vera." Alia looked at Zhang Wei very sincerely and said.
"It's just some small things, I'm glad I can help you."
In fact, Zhang Wei was still quite interested in the results of the communication between the three of them, but she didn't dare to ask.
Fortunately, Alia told Zhang Wei about their communication process as they walked:
"My brother wants me to go home because my father is very angry and my mother is also implicated. He has more than one wife."
"But my fiancé didn't come to take me home. He came to London with his girlfriend. He already has a girlfriend. He said that although he doesn't rule out marrying me, he would rather marry his girlfriend first."
"My brother was very angry when he heard it and thought he had betrayed me and my family."
"But he doesn't want me to break up with him so soon because his family doesn't accept his girlfriend. Of course, compared to marrying someone else, he still wants to marry me, and his girlfriend agrees."
Zhang Wei couldn't help but speak up: "So he means that you can get married and use his girlfriend as a shield, and then he will marry his current girlfriend later?"
