The car slowly drove into the villa area and stopped in front of the Ye family's house. When Ye Huaibin returned home, Ye Zhizhou was already asleep.
Zhang Ma brought Ye Huaibin a cup of hot milk. "Master, it's all thanks to the young master's return today. The old lady said to the young lady that she was a jinx, so the young master asked them both to leave."
Ye Huaibin glanced at Ye Zhizhou's door upstairs and felt extremely guilty. "From now on, I won't open the door for them when they come."
Aunt Zhang nodded in agreement and turned to go back to her room to rest.
Ye Huaibin left a voice message for Xiao Chen, asking Xiao Chen to hire two bodyguards for Ye Zhizhou to protect him secretly.
It's been almost half a month since Ye Zhizhou transferred schools, and the end-of-month quiz is coming soon.
The examination room was quiet, and all the students were focused on answering the questions in order to get good results.
Ye Zhizhou was no exception. She held the pen with her well-defined knuckles and wrote freely on the test paper. She answered questions very quickly and always finished the test in less than 50 minutes. She used the remaining time to check for any omissions or mistakes.
English was the easiest subject for her. In the previous book, she was the male lead's assistant, and English was an essential skill. After answering the questions, Ye Zhizhou twirled her pen while observing Qin Xuan, who was sitting diagonally opposite her.
She didn't want to spy on the big shot, but Qin Xuan spent less than 20 minutes answering the questions after entering the classroom before falling asleep on the desk, which attracted a lot of attention.
It's quite unusual for someone to be so biased towards one subject as to be like him.
A math teacher would be overjoyed to have a student like him, while an English teacher would be devastated; neither of them could handle him.
After looking at it for a while, Ye Zhizhou got bored and returned her gaze to her test paper. She noticed a small crumpled piece of paper at the bottom of her feet. Someone must have been cheating and accidentally dropped the paper at her feet.
Ye Zhizhou gently pushed the paper ball away from her position, and it rolled to the side of the student in front of her on the table. It was hidden by the table leg and could not be seen unless you looked closely.
It doesn't matter whose crumpled paper it is, as long as it's not with her.
She's not some saintly Mary Sue; her motto is simple: just mind your own business.
After the quiz, the weekend arrived. Ever since Qin Xuan became her tutor, Ye Zhizhou felt that the weekend was the happiest time of the week because Qin Xuan didn't come on weekends.
The other two tutors were both graduate students from prestigious universities. Compared to Qin Xuan's 'cold-blooded' nature, they were quite adorable. Ye Zhizhou reached a consensus with them that they would not come on weekends.
Without the worry of homework, Ye Zhizhou slept until she naturally woke up on Saturday. When she woke up, it was already ten o'clock. She couldn't help but sigh that her bed at home was so comfortable.
After finishing the loving breakfast made by Zhang Ma, Ye Zhizhou was about to open his iPad to watch the latest variety show when he noticed that Ye Xiufang's clothes seemed to have been the same few outfits over and over again.
Feeling slightly guilty, she decided to take Ye Xiufang out to buy some clothes.
Ye Xiufang's monthly pension wasn't much, and she had to support herself and Ye Zhizhou, so she had never been to a large department store, and the clothes she bought never cost more than 100 yuan.
Upon hearing that Ye Zhizhou wanted to buy her clothes, Ye Xiufang waved her hands repeatedly, refusing to let Ye Zhizhou spend money on her. Ye Zhizhou ignored her and took her directly to the mall.
"Please try these on!"
The mall was crowded on the weekend, but the high-end clothing section was less crowded. Ye Zhizhou quickly grabbed seven or eight pieces of clothing and had Ye Xiufang try them on in the fitting room.
When Ye Xiufang saw the prices on the clothing tags, her face fell. "Xiaozhou, these clothes are too expensive. Shall we look somewhere else?"
She was reluctant to let Ye Zhizhou spend so much money on her, and besides, she was used to being frugal and always felt that it was too extravagant.
Ye Zhizhou gently pushed her into the fitting room, "Just try it on, you can afford any price, as long as you like it."
With a monthly allowance of 500,000 yuan, she could easily afford the clothes here, not to mention that her father also gave her a black card.
While Ye Xiufang went inside to try on clothes, Ye Zhizhou opened his phone to browse Weibo. Recently, all the negative news about Ye Qian had disappeared without a trace, and everyone was posting stills from Ye Qian's new drama.
"Ye Zhizhou, what are you doing here?"
Ye Zhizhou looked up and saw Ye Huailing.
Ye's mother was quite upset last time, so Ye Huailing took her out for a stroll to cheer her up after she was discharged from the hospital. Ye's mother really liked this store, but the prices were very expensive, and she usually couldn't afford to buy anything there. Today, Ye Huailing specially brought her here to buy her something to make her happy.
Seeing Ye Zhizhou grow angrier the more she thought about it, Ye's mother said, "Why are you calling her that? She's the only daughter of the chairman of the Ye Group now. Ye Huaibin abandoned his own mother and sister for this daughter!"
Those who can come to this floor are not ordinary people. Ye's mother's voice was loud, and the people around heard the noise and all looked over.
Ye Zhizhou remained silent, not wanting to waste his time on them, but his mother's words were a slander against her father, Ye Huaibin.
"You dare say you have nothing to do with my mother's difficult childbirth? My father was so saddened by the loss of his wife, did you and your daughter comfort him? What right do you have to point fingers at my father!"
Ye Zhizhou closed her phone screen, approached her mother, and shouted at her in a voice louder than her mother's. Her mother was so frightened by her words that she couldn't speak.
"Old Madam Ye never liked her daughter-in-law. Now that her daughter-in-law is gone, she's set her sights on her own granddaughter."
“If I had a son as capable as Ye Huaibin, I wouldn’t care about anything and would just sit at home and enjoy myself. Why make the whole family unhappy?”
Ye Huaibin is the richest man in the city, and everyone in the upper-class circles knows him. Several wealthy ladies were originally looking at bags and buying clothes, but they were attracted by Ye's mother's shout and couldn't help but gossip about it.
Listening to their discussion, Ye's mother's expression turned ashen, and in a fit of anger, she wanted to slap Ye Zhizhou.
Ye Zhizhou stepped back, and Ye's mother missed and almost fell. If Ye Huailing hadn't supported her, her heart condition would probably have flared up again.
Hearing the commotion outside, Ye Xiufang came out as soon as she changed her clothes. She saw that Ye Zhizhou had almost been beaten, so she looked at Ye Zhizhou nervously.
"Xiaozhou, are you alright? Grandma won't buy any more clothes, let's go!"
Ye Zhizhou waved his hand to indicate that he was fine, and glanced at Ye Xiufang's clothes. "These clothes fit you perfectly. You don't need to try on the others. Just wrap them up."
Ye's mother was surprised that Ye Zhizhou was so good to Ye Xiufang, buying her clothes that cost tens of thousands of yuan, which she usually wouldn't buy herself. She tried to snatch the black card from Ye Zhizhou.
"This is my son's money! You can't spend a single penny!"
However, before she could even get close to Ye Zhizhou, two tall men in suits strode over from the corner and blocked her way, not giving her a chance.
"Greetings, Miss! We are your bodyguards. Master said no one is allowed to bully you!"
The two turned around and bowed at a 90-degree angle, their voices loud and clear.
Ye Zhizhou: ...
Why were the bodyguards her father hired so professionally trained? She almost thought she was the daughter of a mob boss...
