On the way back, Jiang Suisui sighed, "The world is so unpredictable."
Song Weizheng chuckled: "What do you mean?"
Jiang Sui Sui: "Just a few words of emotion. The relationship between you and Professor Liang was originally very pure, but after you really met and interacted with each other, it seemed that it was not the case."
Song Wei Zheng said calmly: "Well, so forget it, let it go, the past is the past, he has his family, and the most important thing is for us to live our own lives well."
"Yeah!" Jiang Suisui nodded, leaving the Liang family behind. "By the way, today isn't over yet! There's a social dance tonight, and Qianyun told me to go!"
Song Weizheng had heard Jiang Suisui say this before, so he nodded and said, "Then let's go directly there when we get back."
Jiang Sui Sui laughed and said, "Comrade Song Wei Zheng, you agreed so readily. Can you dance?"
Song Weizheng raised his eyebrows slightly: "I can't, but don't you still have me?"
Jiang Sui Sui: "How do you know I can dance? What if I can't? Wouldn't we just be two fools?"
Song Wei Zheng curled his lips and said, "Because I guessed that you can dance, so... am I right?"
Seeing his expression that said, "I know you have a secret but I won't ask," Jiang Sui Sui couldn't help but laugh and said, "Well, congratulations, you guessed it right! Wait for me to come on stage and take you flying!"
The two of them were chatting and laughing on their way back to school. At this moment, they didn't know that a storm was quietly brewing in the school, waiting for their return.

To go back to the beginning, after Zhao Jiabao left the pawnshop, he came to a small courtyard and found an acquaintance, Uncle Zhong.
As soon as he entered the door, he shouted, "Uncle Zhong! Uncle Zhong, you have to help me this time!"
Uncle Zhong, who was about 40 years old, was lying on a recliner smoking with a carefree look on his face. When he heard Zhao Jiabao walk in yelling, he couldn't help but scold him, "What are you making so much noise for?! Keep your voice down!"
If Song Wei Zheng was here, he would definitely recognize him at a glance. This Uncle Zhong was none other than the director of the Revolutionary Committee who had taken the lead in snatching the orchid jade pendant in the name of sweeping away the bourgeoisie many years ago!
Zhao Jiabao, who had a bad temper, was not angry after being scolded like this. Instead, he really lowered his voice and said weakly: "Uncle Zhong, I really have something urgent, you must help me!"
Uncle Zhong saw that he was sweating and looked anxious and panicked. He finally sat up and asked, "What's the matter? Did you like a girl or have a quarrel with someone? Didn't I introduce someone to you? If you want to get someone to do something, you can get anything done by paying them some money."
When this was mentioned, Zhao Jiabao couldn't help but complain: "Uncle Zhong, what kind of person is that you introduced... He is specifically trying to trick me!"
It turns out that Uncle Zhong introduced the bully to Zhao Jiabao. He told Zhao Jiabao that money makes the world go round. If you want to do something or teach someone a lesson, you can just spend some money and find them. It must be said that Zhao Jiabao's current rampant personality is also due to his contribution.
Zhao Jiabao told Uncle Zhong the whole story, including how he asked Lin Yuanzhi for 10,000 yuan, but it was stolen.
Uncle Zhong's heart ached when he heard this, and his focus completely shifted: "Ten thousand yuan?! You actually lost ten thousand yuan?! Are you stupid! You should have come to me earlier! Give me the ten thousand yuan, and I will help you deal with them!"
He pointed at Zhao Jiabao with a look of disappointment.
Zhao Jiabao was also very depressed: "They told me not to tell anyone..."
"Then why are you willing to tell me now? You came to me because you couldn't get the money?" Uncle Zhong lay down again and said, "I don't have any money to give you."
Zhao Jiabao: "No... it's because I pawned the jade pendant and it was discovered by my grandparents..."
"What?! Say it again!" Uncle Zhong was so frightened that he sat up again and said in disbelief, "What did you take for granted?"
"Jade, jade pendant..." Zhao Jiabao trembled in fear under Uncle Zhong's fierce eyes, "It's the orchid jade pendant that you gave me that year..."
"You bastard!" Uncle Zhong stood up and slapped Zhao Jiabao to the ground. "You can just pawn that easily? Are you stupid or foolish? How dare you pawn something so important!"
He kicked Zhao Jiabao several times in anger, put his hands on his waist and took a breath, "Tell me, why did you come to me? Want to borrow money to redeem the jade? Damn, if it wasn't for the jade, I wouldn't care about you! How much do you want?"
Zhao Jiabao covered his red and swollen face and said weakly, "No...Uncle Zhong, the jade has passed its pawn period and has been sold by the pawnshop."
Uncle Zhong almost gasped when he heard this answer: "You...what did you say?!"
Zhao Jiabao was afraid that Uncle Zhong would get angry and beat him up again, so he quickly said, "The old man in the pawnshop refused to say who he sold it to. I told him that I was from the Zhao family, but he didn't believe me. I had no choice but to come to you. Uncle Zhong, please help me. I know you know a lot of people here. Please help me pry open the old man's mouth and let him tell me who bought the jade pendant. I'll take care of the rest. I'll go get the jade pendant back!"
Uncle Zhong felt dizzy. He knew Zhao Jiabao was useless, but he didn't expect him to be so useless. Such an important jade pendant could be said to be the only symbol of Zhao Jiabao's status, and he actually dared to take it!
Uncle Zhong said viciously through his teeth: "I think you have been a member of the Zhao family for too long. You don't know who you are anymore, right?"
Zhao Jiabao shuddered when he heard this, lowered his head silently, and dared not speak.
Uncle Zhong sighed, knowing that now was not the time to waste time lecturing him, so he could only say, "Get up and take me to the pawnshop."
Zhao Jiabao's face was filled with joy and excitement. He quickly got up and took Uncle Zhong back to the pawnshop.
Uncle Zhong is indeed as Zhao Jiabao said. He has been in Beijing for many years and knows many people. He has some influence in the area.
The old clerk of the pawnshop changed his expression when he saw him following Zhao Jiabao in.
It wasn't long before he couldn't hold it in any longer and told everything.
Zhao Jiabao was confused when he heard this, he didn't expect that there were two people following him and even fabricated a story that he was a gambler who had lost all his family's money?
And from the old guy's description of their appearance, why do the two people who bought the jade pendant look so much like Jiang Suisui and Song Weizheng?
His face changed, and he suddenly thought, could it be that... those two people already knew that he was the one who ordered them to surround them? So... was this revenge?
Could it be that they were also responsible for the 10,000 yuan that was exchanged from me?
Uncle Zhong looked at Zhao Jiabao's changing expression and asked, "Why? Do you know those two people?"
Zhao Jiabao nodded: "They should be the two people I was thinking of."
He clenched his fists, his anger already burning: "I never thought that they were the ones who were doing this behind my back!"
Zhao Jiabao turned around and rushed out of the pawnshop. His mind was full of passion, and he only wanted to find Song Weizheng and Jiang Suisui. He didn't think carefully about why they bought the jade pendant specifically but ignored the other jewelry that was also pawned...
·
It was evening when Jiang Suisui and Song Weizhen returned to school.
The two of them went directly to the social dance party and met Zhao Qianyun who had been waiting there.
Zhao Qianyun smiled and teased, "Sure enough, you brought your partner. I wanted to dance with you, but now there's no room."
Jiang Suishun took Song Weizheng's hand and shook it, saying, "Sorry, I have to lead my partner in dancing. There are so many people here today, I think there are a lot of good-looking boys, Qianyun, find one and try it out? Hey, I think that guy over there is pretty good, he's been looking at you!"
"Go away!" Zhao Qianyun smiled and pushed Jiang Suisui and the others out. "Go dance with yourselves. When Zhang Xiu and the others come, I'll play with them."
Jiang Suisui smiled and pulled Song Weizhen to the open space in the middle of the social dance, where there were already groups of boys and girls dancing to the music.
Those who have a partner dance with them, while most of those who don’t have a partner are shy and dance with their companions.
Jiang Suisui took Song Weizheng's hand and smiled, "Can I invite you to dance with me?"
Song Weizheng raised his eyebrows slightly, then grabbed her hand and pulled her into his arms, saying, "Of course."
Jiang Suunshun taught him how to hold her hands, hug her waist, and how to march to the rhythm of the music.
Song Wei Zheng is indeed a good student. He can learn things quickly and understand them immediately. After a while, he put his arms around Jiang Suishun's waist and led her to jump.
Jiang Suisui climbed onto his shoulders and looked up at Song Weizheng, with a gleam in her eyes: "You dance so well!"
Song Weizheng raised his eyebrows and asked, "Is he better than other good boys?"
Jiang Suisui chuckled and said, "I just said it casually, why are you jealous?"
She stood on tiptoe and whispered into Song Weizheng's ear: "No one in the world can compare to you. You are the best."
Song Wei Zheng lowered his head and chuckled, his eyes filled with tenderness that was about to overflow.
The onlookers couldn't help but focus their eyes on the couple. Although they were not clingy, their sweet atmosphere infected many people.
Zhao Qianyun clicked her tongue twice and said, "Really... Even someone like me who has no interest in the person I'm dating feels jealous when seeing this."
She looked around and felt that the other dancing couples were not as pleasing to the eye as Jiang Suishun and his partner.
Zhao Qianyun sat aside with her chin in her hand, watching with great interest, completely forgetting how she had excitedly said she wanted to come and play in the first place.
At this moment, Zhang Xiu suddenly rushed in, saw Jiang Suisui and Song Weizhen who were dancing in the middle, and was about to rush over.
Zhao Qianyun quickly grabbed her and asked, "What are you doing? Why are you here so late? Where are the others?"
"Hey! I don't have time to tell you, I have something urgent to do with Suishun and the others!" Zhang Xiu said.
Zhao Qianyun was puzzled and asked, "What's the urgent matter that needs to be discussed now? They are having a great time!"
Zhang Xiu was just about to open his mouth to explain when a few more people suddenly rushed in through the door. Zhao Qianyun glanced over and saw that the leader was actually Zhao Jiabao, followed by several other people from their dormitory.
Zhao Jiabao rushed in with a domineering look on his face, and without saying a word, he walked towards Jiang Suisui and the other person with a gloomy face.
Zhao Qianyun saw that the situation was not good, and hurriedly stood in front of him and said, "Zhao Jiabao, what do you want to do?"
