Chapter 23 Please
Upon hearing Zhong Nianyao's words, Zhao Xuanlang's legs and feet softened and he almost knelt down, "Miss Zhong, Big Sister, Master, please, you are the only one who can help me now."
No one could remain calm after hearing that their life was in danger, especially Zhao Xuanlang, who was only a college student in his twenties and hadn't even entered society yet. So, after hearing Zhong Nianyao's words, it was natural for him to be afraid.
Zhong Nianyao frowned and rolled her eyes. "How can you talk like that? Don't call me Big Sister or Miss. I'm much younger than you."
"Okay, okay, auntie, whatever you say is what I will do." Zhao Xuanlang echoed, "You know all about my situation, you can definitely save me, right? I'm still young, and I don't want to die like this."
As he spoke, he almost cried and almost reached out to grab Zhong Nianyao's hand to express his fear. However, seeing Zhong Nianyao's fierce eyes, he didn't dare to act rashly.
Looking at Zhao Xuanlang like this, Zhong Nianyao really felt a little speechless. She raised her hand and said, "Okay, stop talking nonsense. I'm about to go to class. Let's talk after class!"
"Okay." Zhao Xuanlang agreed immediately. "Then I'll come find you after class. My parents also want to see you. Do you have time today?"
"Okay." Zhong Nianyao did not refuse.
Moreover, she also wanted to understand the strangeness of Zhao Xuanlang. Because, judging from Zhao Xuanlang's face, he didn't look like a short-lived ghost. Yet, he was now haunted by the aura of death.
If we want to resolve this matter, Zhao Xuanlang's parents also need to cooperate.
After agreeing to Zhao Xuanlang, Zhong Nian Yao walked towards the classroom without looking back.
Li Jingyang and Shen Yixue didn't hear what the two said, but they could see that Zhao Xuanlang was being humble. Their expressions changed immediately.
“Jingyang, you said——” Shen Yixue frowned, with a hint of unclearness in her tone, “Is Xuanlang really interested in Zhong Nianyao?”
"Don't talk nonsense." Li Jingyang denied it without hesitation. "Xuan Lang knows what kind of person Zhong Nianyao is. How could he possibly fall for her?"
"But, between them, it seems—"
Shen Yixue thought for a moment, and after considering her words, she continued, "Their relationship doesn't look like that of ordinary friends."
"Okay, stop talking." Li Jingyang shook his head and said directly, "Class is about to start, let's hurry into the classroom!"
He didn't know what was going on. When he saw Zhao Xuanlang and Zhong Nian Yao walking so close, he couldn't help but feel annoyed.
However, because he couldn't figure it out, he thought that it was probably because he didn't want to see Zhao Xuanlang make the wrong choice! After all, they were all friends, and he didn't want to watch Zhao Xuanlang go astray.
Shen Yixue didn't say anything else, her face still didn't change at all, even her smile was as gentle as usual. However, in a place that no one noticed, her eyes were dark, so dark that it seemed as if some storm was brewing.
On the other side, Zhong Nian Yao had no idea what these two people were thinking. After class, she got directly into the car sent by the Zhao family.
Of course, after getting in the car, she also remembered to call the old man first and tell him that she was out playing with friends and would be back later.
Soon, the car arrived at Zhao's house.
As soon as I entered the door, I saw a middle-aged man dressed in elite style and a lady sitting on the sofa, both of them looked a little nervous.
After seeing them enter the door, the two of them immediately stood up.
"Dad, Mom, this is Zhong Nianyao." Zhao Xuanlang immediately introduced, "Master Zhong, these are my parents."
"Don't call me Master." Zhong Nianyao frowned, "Just call me by my name!"
It feels awkward to hear masters coming and going like this.
"Miss Zhong, don't worry about that brat." Father Zhao stepped forward with a kind expression. "Hurry up and sit down! I invited you here today because I wanted to thank you. If it weren't for you, that brat would have died last night."
"That's right, that's right." Zhao's mother echoed, "If you have anything to say, just sit down and talk! Miss Zhong, we just got out of school. Are you hungry? I'll ask the kitchen to prepare a meal for you."
"No need." Zhong Nianyao raised her hand to stop him, "Let's talk about business first!"
"Okay, okay, let's get down to business first."
Soon, the group sat down.
Father Zhao looked at Zhong Nianyao and said directly without beating around the bush, "Miss Zhong, now that things have come to this, I'll be frank. I asked you to come here today not only to thank you for saving Xuan Lang's life, but also because I have something very important to get rid of you."
