Chapter 180 Implicated
"They first took a ship to South America and then started walking"
"Did Manny bring enough money?" Zhang Wei asked a more practical question.
"Even though he doesn't have as much as you, he's richer than me anyway, so he shouldn't be a worry."
Then everyone went to Manny's room to read the letter he left. Zhang Wei saw the preparations he had made for the trip and could tell that he didn't make the decision to go on a whim.
On the wall was a map of the route he had set, the location of each supply point, and a list of supplies he brought. Finally, in the letter, Manny promised that he would protect himself well and would return home after completing the journey he wanted to take, so that everyone did not have to worry.
Then Zhang Wei saw Emma secretly wiping her tears as she went out. When she was about to follow her to comfort her, she heard her calling Venus and asking her to take a job if she was free.
After hearing this, Zhang Wei quickly retracted his steps. Well, his parents were indeed more thoughtful than them. With Venus around, he didn't have to worry too much about safety.
Emma seemed to be frightened by Manny. Recently, she often called to ask about Leida's situation. Leida said that his company was very busy. After knowing about Manny's situation, he comforted her:
"This is the growth path he chose, just like I don't want to go to my father's company. Don't worry too much, Manny knows his limits."
Perhaps her eldest son's words gave her some comfort. Emma stopped staring at him and asked her and Namir what they thought.
Namir had a lot of fun during this Christmas holiday. Sometimes he played games with his classmates at home, and sometimes he made plans to play football together. He was never idle.
Faced with Emma's question, he said helplessly:
"Mom, I'm very happy now. I won't suddenly run away with my backpack. Usually, cheerful, optimistic and positive people like me and Leida won't run away. You should pay more attention to Vera. She doesn't like going out to play just like Manny!"
After shifting the blame, Namir ran away again, leaving Zhang Wei facing Emma's somewhat uneasy gaze.
Zhang Wei could only sigh and console herself, "Mom, I really enjoy studying. I also enjoy cricket and musicals, and I won't force myself."
Then, in order to reassure Emma, she had to pretend to be very busy, attending various parties organized by her classmates, and trying her best not to let her worry about watching her studying in the room.
Even Butch found it strange that this was the second time Zhang Wei had come to attend the party she hosted, although every time Zhang Wei would find a place to have a drink and watch some gossip between young men and women.
"How about it? Is there anything you like?" Butch is usually very busy, but he will occasionally come to pay attention to her.
"No," Zhang Wei's answer was concise and clear.
"How about that? He looks handsome and is the son of a congressman."
"Look at his forehead, he has the bald gene, and his neck is too long, like a goose."
"What about that guy over there? His family is a new tech company."
"The girl next to him was so far away from him, she must have a strong body odor, and he didn't look like he had washed his face clean."
Butch was left speechless by her and asked, "Then your request is too high."
Suddenly, a male voice that made people feel uncomfortable came from behind them:
"What about me?"
Zhang Wei and the others turned around and saw a white man who looked to be in his twenties at least. He had a hooked nose and looked at Zhang Wei with some disdain. When he saw them looking over, he immediately raised his head and chest out, revealing a hint of pride.
"Not very good!" Zhang Wei said coldly.
After saying that, she looked at Butch, who also frowned and shook his head. It seemed that she didn't know him either.
Seeing the man's face change, Zhang Wei didn't want to cause trouble in someone else's home, so he was about to leave, but was blocked by the man.
Butch looked at the rude man and immediately got angry: "Who are you? I don't remember inviting you to my dance!"
The man reached out to pull Butch aside, but Zhang Wei pulled him away.
He smelled of alcohol and his mouth was dirty:
"Don't mind your own business, kid! I'm going to teach this arrogant yellow pig a lesson today and tell her to go back to Asia!"
Butch's eyes were red with anger. Because of her height, she hated being called short. She yelled angrily:
"Someone! Throw this bastard out!"
At this moment, the music suddenly became louder and the security guard did not hear Butch's voice.
Seeing that Zhang Wei didn't take her seriously, the man with the hooked nose raised his hand to hit her. As for what Butch said behind her, she didn't pay any attention to it at all.
Zhang Wei didn't even let his hand get close to him, and kicked him sideways. The man with the hooked nose was lucky, as he was kicked to sit on the chair behind him and then fell down from the chair.
However, he reacted quickly and immediately got up. With a ferocious look on his face, he raised the chair and was about to smash it towards Zhang Wei.
At this time, the music finally stopped, and everyone saw this scene and hid to the side. Security hurried over here.
Zhang Wei didn't dodge this time. He caught the chair and pulled it forward with all his strength, taking advantage of the force from the man's attack. Then he swung it hard, and with a "bang", the man and the chair fell into the swimming pool.
"Pa pa pa" someone immediately applauded, and Butch kept chattering beside her:
"You said before that you weren't the one who beat those people up, and I actually believed you. It turns out it was you."
"Are you Chinese good at Kung Fu?"
"Next time, teach me too."
Zhang Wei said angrily, "Stop! I won't come next time. Why didn't you invite all your classmates to your party?"
"Who knows which idiot let him in? He looks older than my dad. I'll check when I get back."
After watching Zhang Wei leave, he tried to persuade her to stay, saying, "Come back next time. Everyone is very interested in you. I will definitely choose carefully next time!"
Zhang Wei looked at Butch and saw him give her a look that said "you know what I mean". Thinking of those boys pretending to be mature and profound, she felt a chill. She said she would never come next time no matter what. Fortunately, the vacation was almost over.
All in all, Zhang Wei had a chaotic holiday. He didn't read his books properly and had no time to review his homework. It was not until the last two days that Zhang Wei secretly turned on the lights at night to make up for the remaining homework, and he almost couldn't finish it.
This was also the first time in so many years that Zhang Wei felt the pain of rushing to finish her homework. She had to linger in the garden during the day. She was so sleepy that she drooled while pulling weeds and basking in the sun.
But Emma's frightened state has not yet fully recovered. She can only play painfully during the day and happily finish her homework late at night, which is also very hard.
However, I heard from Charles that there is often news about Manny. It seems that Manny is already under the supervision of his parents. I don’t know if Manny has noticed it.
Zhang Wei felt that the atmosphere at home would return to normal when she came back from school next time.
