He nodded while eating, "Then I congratulate you in advance on your move. It would be nice to live in the county. You can go to the library more often in the future."
Xu Ziming lowered his eyes, his long eyelashes hiding the disappointment in his eyes. This was not what he wanted to hear.
But after a while, he adjusted his attitude again, then looked up at her, smiled and said, "Well, thank you."
But Zhou Chaofa, who was standing by, felt unhappy when he heard this.
He lowered his head and rolled his eyes. It was just buying a house in the county. What was so great about it? Sooner or later, he would be able to buy one with his own ability.
After finishing the meal, Xu Ziming was about to pay the bill, but was stopped by Lin Qiaoxin, "No need, we are friends, this meal is on my treat."
"That's impossible, even if we're friends. Take it quickly, or I won't dare to come next time." After Xu Ziming said that, he quickly reached into his pocket to take out money.
But Zhou Chaofa also said, "Stop arguing, I'll treat you."
Xu Ziming was even more reluctant to agree. Wouldn't that mean he would owe him a favor for nothing? He didn't want that.
So he immediately took out the money and put it on the cashier, his tone very insistent.
"No need, I'll treat you. If you guys keep doing this, I really won't dare to come over to eat next time. Do you think I'm broke because you look down on me?"
After hearing what he said, who would dare to argue anymore? Lin Qiaoxin had no choice but to accept the money.
Seeing her like this, Xu Ziming felt satisfied.
Then he sat for a while and rolled up his sleeves to start helping. Lin Qiaoxin saw that he didn't agree at all and hurried over to stop him.
"You're here to eat, so why are you helping out? The store has hired someone now, so they have enough staff."
"Why can't I help? Besides, just consider it as digestion."
"I've done this before, so don't worry, nothing will go wrong." Xu Ziming smiled and said confidently.
Lin Qiaoxin had no choice but to quickly explain, "That's not what I meant. I just mean, you should just sit down and rest for a while!"
She really felt bad for letting him do this.
But Xu Ziming didn't care at all. He took off his coat, rolled up his sleeves, and walked towards the kitchen. As he walked, he said, "I can do anything Zhou Chaofa can do. Does that mean that just because he's your friend, I'm not?"
"Qiao Xin, you can't treat them differently!"
There was no other way, so Lin Qiaoxin had to stop caring about it. She couldn't stop it.
Zhou Chaofa couldn't help but frowned as he watched, then while Lin Qiaoxin wasn't paying attention he walked to Xu Ziming's side and whispered.
"Xu Ziming, do your family members know that you are here to do this?"
"If they knew, they would definitely be furious. Their precious son was actually helping others in the store!"
"Do you know how much trouble this will bring to Qiaoxin? You're hurting her."
He had realized last time that his mother was not a simple person. If she knew about this, she might do something extreme.
By then, the one who will be hurt is Lin Qiaoxin.
The hand holding the plate paused slightly, and he felt a little guilty for a moment, but it turned into determination in an instant.
He snorted coldly and said in a very firm tone.
"Don't worry, my family won't know. And even if they did, they wouldn't tell me. I'm just helping a friend. Is there a problem with that?"
"What do you think of my family? You're so narrow-minded!"
Unexpectedly, he was outmaneuvered by him. Zhou Chaofa felt extremely depressed in his heart.
She rolled her eyes at him and warned him coldly.
"I'm telling you, Xu Ziming, you'd better leave right now. If anything happens and hurts Qiao Xin, I won't let you go."
"Besides, if something happens to Qiao Xin, won't your conscience hurt?"
She frowned and looked at him with dissatisfaction, "Zhou Chaofa, I think you have bad intentions. How can you curse people like that?"
"No matter what, my family would never do anything to Qiao Xin. It's absolutely true that you're narrow-minded!"
"Please don't look at others with tinted glasses!"
After hearing this, Zhou Chaofa glared at him fiercely. If it weren't for Lin Qiaoxin, he wouldn't bother to pay attention to him at all. Now he actually dared to say that he was narrow-minded?
She snorted angrily and pointed at him, "Okay, you said it, please remember it. If anything goes wrong, I will not let you go!"
If I don't teach him a lesson then he won't be called Zhou.
Xu Ziming glanced at his back and frowned.
I couldn't help but think that even if his parents knew, he would have a reason to cover it up, so there would definitely be no problem.
But he didn't expect his parents to find out so quickly.
When I got home in the afternoon, I just closed the door.
Chen Shuhua, who was sitting on the sofa in the living room, turned her head and looked over when she heard the noise.
Then he asked calmly, "Are you back?"
He lowered his head to change his shoes, so he didn't notice her strangeness. He nodded casually, "Yeah, I'm back."
"Mom, I'm going back to my room to review my homework."
But after taking a few steps, I was stopped by a voice behind me, "Stop, I have something to tell you, come and sit down."
Xu Ziming was a little confused, but he still walked over and sat opposite her.
When I saw the expressionless look on her face, my heart skipped a beat and I instantly had a bad feeling.
Sure enough, the next moment she frowned and asked, "Where did you go today?"
"Didn't I tell you? I went out for a walk."
After saying that, he turned around and looked at the big clock hanging in the living room, and smiled, "Look, I'm not late at all. I'm going home on time. Mom, if you're free, I'll go back to my room to review my homework."
