Chapter 227 Don't Be Too Obvious
He glanced critically and sneered, "You're only now learning to work hard. What were you doing before? You're going to graduate next year anyway. It's all in vain no matter how hard you work. You might as well think about the wedding."
Xue Lingxue no longer got angry as easily as before, but instead ignored Zhang Jingxuan and focused entirely on her books.
Zhang Jingxuan's provocation was like a punch on cotton. Not only was it ineffective, it also looked ridiculous.
He sneered twice, then simply sat down and waited leisurely. He didn't believe that Xue Lingxue had really come to her senses and was motivated. She must be pretending!
With this in mind, he sat there for an hour and even had coffee and dessert brought over.
As a result, Xue Lingxue was like an old monk in meditation, with no reaction at all.
Zhang Jingxuan was so angry that he put down his coffee cup heavily. The sudden noise scared Xue Lingxue. She turned around suddenly and frowned in disgust, "Why are you still at my house? Are you free? Don't you know that time is money? If you have nothing to do, just do what you should do and don't disturb me from studying. It's inexplicable!"
Zhang Jingxuan pointed at himself in disbelief, furious. Before he could lash out, Xue Lingxue turned around and continued reading and taking notes.
The two of them argued for the entire morning, and it ended with Zhang Jingxuan leaving in frustration.
This was the first time she had the upper hand in front of Zhang Jingxuan. She was so happy that she jumped up and down in the apartment. When Chen Xinyue came back, she couldn't wait to share the good news with her.
Chen Xinyue was also happy for her sister's victory.
Summer vacation came in a blink of an eye.
Chen Ruiyu and Qu Zhiyang arrived as scheduled.
The two brought a lot of luggage this time, and it seemed that they had decided to stay in the UK for a while.
Chen Xinyue rented an apartment for them early and took Xue Lingxue to the airport to pick them up.
The four of them were so excited to meet again after a long separation.
All along the way, Qu Zhiyang was making exaggerated jokes, making Chen Xinyue and Xue Lingxue laugh out loud.
Xue Lingxue also played and fought with Qu Zhiyang like before.
After the four arrived at the apartment, Chen Xinyue and Xue Lingxue helped them settle in, and decided to have dinner at Chen Ruiyu and Qu Zhiyang's apartment.
During the meal, Chen Xinyue stood up for Xue Lingxue and told her every detail of how that bastard Zhang Jingxuan had suppressed Xue Lingxue.
Qu Zhiyang was furious when he heard this. He glared at Xue Lingxue with a look of disappointment. "When you were a kid, you were a bully in our area. Even I couldn't beat you. When did the queen flower become a dodder? You are so useless!"
Xue Lingxue kicked Qu Zhiyang hard, feeling embarrassed and annoyed, "What nonsense are you talking about! When did I hit you?"
"You're still saying no. I was in third grade, playing with a boy from the same compound, and I accidentally threw a rock at you! You chased me around the compound three times, and you finally caught me. You scratched my face."
“Hahahaha” Chen Ruiyu and Chen Xinyue laughed so hard that they fell down.
Xue Lingxue was so angry that she twisted Qu Zhiyang's arm fiercely, "You big mouth, you deserve a beating!"
"Look, look, ouch, no, no, good brother, please save me quickly." Qu Zhiyang jumped up exaggeratedly and hid between Chen Ruiyu and Chen Xinyue.
Xue Lingxue chased after him, and Chen Ruiyu quickly pushed Qu Zhiyang out, "You really deserve a beating for your mouth, apologize quickly, or your brothers won't be able to protect you."
"Ah, you forget your friends for the sake of beauty!" Qu Zhiyang cried even louder.
Chen Xinyue also took the opportunity to push him.
Qu Zhiyang was thrown out and was grabbed by Xue Lingxue by the collar.
His face fell, "Sister Xinyue, I've been so good to you, but you still bully me. I won't live anymore."
The four of them laughed and played together, as if they had brought back the good memories of their youth.
In the next few days, Chen Xinyue and Xue Lingxue acted as tour guides, taking Chen Ruiyu and Qu Zhiyang everywhere to play, completely forgetting about the existence of Zhang Jingxuan.
Zhang Jingxuan failed twice in a row and asked Xue Lingxue's neighbors, only to find out that she had been going in and out with two boys recently.
He seemed to have caught Xue Lingxue's handle and decided not to leave, waiting to catch them in the act.
Zhang Jingxuan finally agreed to wait until Xue Lingxue came back. When he saw Qu Zhiyang's familiar face, his expression froze for a moment. He squinted his eyes and looked at Qu Zhiyang. He said to Xue Lingxue, "Why don't you introduce yourself?"
Xue Lingxue's face was already dark, but she suppressed her anger in front of Chen Ruiyu and said with a fake smile: "This is Xinyue's brother, he is Qu Zhiyang."
Zhang Jingxuan automatically skipped over Chen Ruiyu and kept repeating, "Qu? The Qu family?"
Qu Zhiyang stepped forward and extended his hand politely, "Hello, I'm Lingxue's childhood friend. Our two families are old friends and we grew up together. I flew from the United States to visit her during this holiday. Who are you? What's your name?"
Zhang Jingxuan glanced at Xue Lingxue nonchalantly, "Didn't you tell your childhood friend that we will get married in a year, and your friends are also my friends."
"Hello, let me introduce myself. My name is Zhang Jingxuan, and my father is the chairman of the Zhang Group."
Zhang Jingxuan expressed his friendship to Qu Zhiyang, and then said: "It's rare for you to come to England. I am more familiar with this place than Lingxue. I can take you around."
Qu Zhiyang decisively refused, "Don't bother, we have been playing for almost a month, and we have been studying in the school library recently. If Mr. Zhang is interested, we can join."
Zhang Jingxuan then realized that each of them was holding a book in their hands, and laughed, "So that's how it is. Since you are studying, I won't disturb you. Lingxue, I will come to see you another day."
The four of them watched Zhang Jingxuan leave until they saw him drive away.
Qu Zhiyang then frowned, "I thought you were exaggerating before, but now it seems that this guy is really nothing!"
Chen Ruiyu frowned, "It's too obvious that he's eager for quick success. If it weren't for you, he wouldn't have pretended to be so gentlemanly and righteous just now."
Qu Zhiyang knew that Chen Ruiyu was always kind to others and would not easily speak ill of others. It was a real talent for him to say this about Zhang Jingxuan.
After they finished complaining, they both looked at Xue Lingxue worriedly.
After thinking about it, Qu Zhiyang followed Xue Lingxue into her apartment and used her phone to contact Xue's mother.
"You dead girl, how come you still remembered to call me! What did you mean by throwing a tantrum and hanging up on me last time? If your dad and I hadn't been so busy lately, I would have flown over to teach you a lesson, you troublesome thing!" Qu Zhiyang was stunned by Xue's mother's scolding.
Chen Ruiyu and Chen Xinyue both frowned uncomfortably.
Qu Zhiyang cleared his throat and shouted, "Auntie, I'm Qu Zhiyang."
The microphone was silent for a few seconds, and then Xue's mother's shocked and embarrassed voice rang out, "Zhiyang! Why is it you? I thought it was Lingxue. I'm so sorry for what happened just now! Hey, you don't know, Lingxue has been very rebellious since she went abroad to study. If it weren't for her fiancé watching over her, who knows what kind of trouble she would have gotten into!
Last time, she went skiing without permission and broke her bones. Her father and I were so scared. A few months ago, I called her and she got upset and hung up on me. Please help me persuade her. I don’t know why a 20-something is so rebellious!
