Chapter 05 Cold
"What the hell are you talking about?" Zhou Yi instantly became angry and embarrassed.
"Look, it's urgent."
Wen Eryu chuckled. She knew Zhou Yi's weakness clearly, which was that he was afraid of his mother.
"If you have the guts, show me the evidence." Zhou Yi calmed down, but his eyes were still wandering.
Xu Wenrou knew her son best. Zhou Yi's current expression clearly showed that something was wrong, but what else could she do? At this time, she had to protect her precious son and insist that it was the bitch Wen Eryu who was lying.
"Er Yu, you can eat whatever you want, but you can't say such things carelessly. Although my son is usually carefree, he would never go to that kind of place, not to mention that he is not even an adult."
Wen Eryu pretended to be kind and reminded her: "Aunt Xu, sometimes you have to keep an eye on your bank card, otherwise you won't know when the money in the card is gone."
"What do you mean?" Xu Wenrou frowned and stood up.
"What else could it mean?" Wen Eryu said, "Don't you think so, Zhou Yi?"
Zhou Yi panicked when his name was called. He looked at Wen Eryu in surprise, wondering why she knew about this.
Did she find out?
Zhou Yi stammered, "What do you want me to say?"
Xu Wenrou took out her mobile phone and opened the bank app. She was shocked to find that the balance of hundreds of thousands of yuan was now only three hundred yuan.
This was the money she had saved for most of her life, but now it disappeared in an instant, as if it had evaporated, and her phone did not receive any text messages.
She was so angry that she threw her phone on the sofa, walked up to Zhou Yi and slapped him.
Crisp applause rang out in the huge living room, and the air instantly became quiet.
Wen Liang and his daughter were stunned. No one expected Xu Wenrou to take action.
Even Zhou Yi was dumbfounded. He never thought that his mother, who had always doted on him, would actually hit him.
He was stunned for a few seconds, then he reacted and yelled, "You fucking hit me?"
"Who taught you to use such foul language? How come you're just like that bastard? If I had known this earlier, I wouldn't have fought for your custody!"
Zhou Yi: “…”
Xu Wenrou was also so angry that she even said such hurtful words.
After all, there is only so much money left in the card, which would make anyone's blood pressure rise.
Zhou Yi softened completely, and tried to summon back a trace of maternal love in a humble tone: "Mom, don't be angry."
"Okay, stop arguing." Wen Liang spoke at this time.
The noise gave him a splitting headache and his temples were throbbing.
Xu Wenrou burst into tears upon hearing this: "The money I saved for so long is gone just like that."
Wen Liang snorted unhappily: "This is your spoiled baby son."
"..." Xu Wenrou cried even louder, "I don't want to live anymore. I'm going to die now."
Wen Liang slapped the coffee table hard: "Nonsense!"
Seeing this, Wen Eryu immediately sneaked upstairs and slipped back into the room.
There was a constant sound of quarreling downstairs, but she couldn't hear the specific content.
The schoolbag had been brought up by Aunt Zhao. Wen Eryu unzipped the schoolbag chain, took out today's homework, and placed it on the desk.
At this moment, her cell phone vibrated.
It was a message from Lin Cheng.
Fruity Orange: [Damn, I can say I have no regrets in my life.]
Wen Eryu quickly raised a question mark.
Fruity Orange: [The school hunk actually accepted my friend request! ]
Wenkaishui: [Tsk tsk tsk, look at how little you can achieve.]
After two long minutes, the phone vibrated again.
Fruity Orange: [He asked me for your contact information...]
Warm water: [Huh?]
Fruity Orange: [So, do you want me to give it to him? ]
Wen Eryu typed a few words and quickly deleted them. Finally, she typed two words - no.
Click Send.
She turned off her cell phone and buried her head in her homework.

The next day, Wen Eryu finally felt relieved after explaining the situation to Wen Liang.
"Are you sure you're not lying to me?" he asked. "Are you really just helping a disabled student get on the bus out of kindness?"
Wen Eryu nodded guiltily: "Of course, of course."
"Okay, I'll ask the driver to take you to school later."
Wen Liang didn't stay at the table for long and hurriedly got up and left.
Wen Eryu sighed deeply. It seemed that she would not be able to walk home with Lin Cheng these days.
After breakfast, Wen Eryu rushed to the classroom and sat down.
Lin Cheng was so sleepy that she fell asleep on the table without even putting down her schoolbag.
No. 4 Middle School does not have to do morning exercises at 5 a.m. like other high schools. Lin Cheng is a person who likes to stay up late and is so sleepy every day that he can't open his eyes.
Wen Eryu poked her and said, "It's time to hand in your homework."
Lin Cheng then raised her head, took off her schoolbag in a daze, and took out her textbook.
Suddenly, she thought of something, grabbed Wen Eryu's hand and said guiltily: "I'm sorry, Eryu, I betrayed you."
Wen Eryu: “?”
Lin Cheng: "I, I still gave him your contact information."
Wen Eryu: “…”
Lin Cheng immediately added: "It's all my fault. I really can't handle a handsome guy asking me for help, woo woo woo."
"It's okay, it's okay." Wen Eryu was not angry. She knew that Lin Cheng was a pure and innocent lover, and it was just a contact number. When Shen Jize added her, she could just refuse.
"Aren't you angry?" Lin Cheng asked.
"I'm not angry." Wen Eryu smiled and shook her head, but then changed the subject, "But, my snacks for a week..."
Lin Cheng patted his chest and said loudly, "I'll take care of it!"
Her voice was so loud that it instantly attracted the attention of the entire class.
Lin Cheng lowered her head and covered her mouth. She took out the meal card from the drawer and handed it to Wen Eryu.
"Just swipe it, I have plenty of money."

The day before the monthly exam, Wen Eryu happened to have a fever.
She was lying on the bed in a daze when Aunt Zhao came in and put the medicine and water on the bedside table.
"Miss, it's time to take your medicine."
Wen Eryu weakly climbed out of bed with a fever patch on her head: "Okay."
She stuffed the capsule into her mouth with difficulty, took a sip of water, and swallowed it with difficulty.
After seeing her finish taking the medicine, Aunt Zhao gave her a few instructions and then walked out.
Wen Eryu was the only one left in the room. She glanced at the test paper on the desk, thought for a moment, and then got out of bed.
The air conditioner was set to 25 degrees, not too cold or too hot, just right.
But before Wen Eryu had finished a few questions, her head started to hurt. She picked up her phone and looked at the time. It was only eight o'clock in the evening.
At this time, a friend verification message popped up.
Wen Eryu clicked on it and saw a completely black avatar, with the verification message filled in as - it's me.
"……"narcissism.
But at this time the effect of the drug took effect, Wen Eryu felt dizzy, and his finger, which was about to click reject, slipped and he agreed to the friend request from the other party.
Soon the other party sent a message.
SJZ: [Your bracelet is with me.]
Wen Eryu was puzzled. Bracelet? What bracelet?
Suddenly, she suddenly remembered that the bracelet in her pocket was thrown out by the sharp turn on the bus, but Wen Eryu didn't care at that time. It was lost, so what? At most, she could just buy another one. Although the bracelet was a limited edition of a luxury brand, this amount of money was nothing to her.
Afterwards, Wen Eryu replied to him: [It’s okay, just throw it away.]
It took a long time before the other side sent a message.
SJZ: [Yeah.]
Wen Eryu looked at the word "hmm" and his eyes twitched. Is this guy the only word he can say?
She did not reply to Shen Jize, but clicked on his homepage, and her finger stopped at the line of words "delete friend".
After hesitating for a while, Wen Eryu finally made up his mind to delete him.
A successful woman must have a ruthless heart!
But Wen Eryu has now been severely defeated by a cold, and it seems that she will not be able to attend the monthly exam tomorrow.
The next day, after Wen Liang asked for leave from his teacher, he asked Aunt Zhao to take Wen Eryu to the hospital in the morning.
The sky was gray today, and it felt like it would rain at any time. There was a hint of coolness in the breeze. Wen Eryu took out a thin shirt from the closet and put it on.
Aunt Zhao specially brought an umbrella from home, and then got into the car with Wen Eryu.
After arriving at the hospital, Wen Eryu was forced to receive an IV drip.
She was very reluctant at first. After all, she had been sitting there for the entire morning. She would be better off lying in bed and reading a few more novels.
The hospital's infusion room was crowded. The temperature suddenly dropped last night, causing many people to catch colds. It seemed that Wen Eryu was not the only one.
The noisy environment made it difficult for her to close her eyes and fall asleep. After finally making it to noon, Aunt Zhao sat down next to Wen Eryu with porridge.
"Miss, you must be hungry. Have some porridge first." She handed the porridge with the lid opened to Wen Eryu, then looked up at the IV bottle. "It's almost done. It will be finished in about half an hour."
Wen Eryu nodded, picked up the spoon and scooped a spoonful of white porridge. She blew gently on it near her mouth for a while, then touched it with her lips. After feeling that it was not hot, she put the spoonful into her mouth.
At this moment, her mouth was filled with the sweetness of the porridge and the unique aroma of grains. But Wen Eryu could not taste any of it. She repeated the action just now and soon finished the bowl of porridge.
After eating, the water in the bottle was almost finished.
Wen Eryu packed up her things and walked towards the hospital parking lot with Aunt Zhao.
But just as they walked out of the door, they were suddenly blocked by a group of people. Wen Eryu saw a large group of people gathered at the entrance of the inpatient department.
From time to time, a male voice was heard from the crowd, and the voice sounded like a middle-aged man.
"Bah, you bastard, if you don't pay me today, don't even think about leaving this hospital!"
Onlookers couldn't help but grumble: "How can a father call his own child a bastard? This is a bit too much."
"Yeah, yeah, a grown man is asking a child for money. Do you have any shame?"
The middle-aged man also heard what the passerby said and sneered: "Oh, I've been cheated on by that bitch for so many years, he's not even my son."
Everyone seemed to smell gossip and instantly turned their attention to the boy.
Seeing that everyone was starting to side with him, the middle-aged man exaggerated and said, "I've raised him like my own son for so many years. Now he's in poor health and in the hospital. What's wrong with asking him for some money?"
Wen Eryu couldn't stand it any longer. After all, you can't ask for money from a child who is not yet able to work.
She stood on tiptoe and found that she couldn't see, so she stood on a stone block and looked into the crowd.
Unexpectedly, I saw Shen Jize's figure.
