Without thinking, Ye Zhizhou called Ye Qian.
"Brother, why did you add Qin Xuan to the group? This group is for the three of us."
Ye Qian felt a little wronged. "Qin Xuan asked me to add him to the group. How could I, your brother, just add people without your permission?"
Ye Zhizhou was taken aback. How did Qin Xuan know that their family had such a group? Did he see it when she created the group?
After hanging up the phone, she proactively messaged Qin Xuan: Why do I want to join the group?
After a while, Qin Xuan replied: "Going in as my fiancé should be fine, right?"
Ye Zhizhou didn't reply because she realized that Qin Xuan made sense; it was only natural for her fiancé to join the group.
Ye Huaibin got home early today and sat on the sofa watching TV while waiting for Ye Zhizhou to return. He casually checked his phone messages and saw Ye Qian's question to Ye Zhizhou in the group chat. Ye Huaibin felt something was wrong.
"Xiaozhou, what happened to you at school? Why is your brother asking that?"
Ye Zhizhou changed into a pair of slippers and, seeing how worried Ye Huaibin was, explained, "It was a small matter, and it's already been resolved."
Ye Huaibin noticed that his daughter seemed unwilling to tell him what had happened at school, and his guilt resurfaced. He wondered if he had been too busy lately and hadn't paid enough attention to his daughter, which had created a distance between them.
Ye Zhizhou was a bit oblivious and didn't notice her father's frustration. She sat down at the table to wait for dinner, while fiddling with her phone to see if there were any new messages.
"Xiao Zhou, is the allowance Dad gives you enough? Should I give you some more? Our family is well-off, so don't deprive yourself."
Seeing that his daughter was unwilling to communicate with him, Ye Huaibin had no choice but to express his concern in his own way.
Ye Zhizhou was stunned and said, "That's enough. Dad, I'm just a student. I don't usually need that much money."
Like father, like son. No wonder her brother sends money at the drop of a hat; he learned it from his father. If money could solve everything… Ye Zhizhou reflected on it and realized that money could solve at least 99% of problems.
The elderly father was lost in thought in the living room, imagining that his daughter was being bullied at school and didn't want to cause trouble for the family, so she had no choice but to swallow her anger.
“Xiao Zhou, if you’re not happy at this school, we can switch schools. Dad can even send you to study abroad, but Dad can’t bear to see you so far away. How about you quit school? Dad will give you 10% of the company’s shares, and you’ll never have to work again.”
He must have put too much pressure on Ye Zhizhou. The child was so pressured that he was unwilling to communicate with his family. Studying is something that should be left to fate. Why did he have to force it?
Ye Zhizhou: ...
A 10% stake is not only enough for her to live on for the rest of her life, but also for the next life after that. Her father is a ruthless man.
"Dad, actually, someone at school framed me for cheating. But I've already asked my brother to help me deal with it, and I'm sure we'll find the person who framed me soon. I haven't been bullied at school, so I didn't say anything. It's a small matter, and I didn't want it to affect your work."
Ye Zhizhou really didn't want to explain, but seeing her father's forlorn look, she thought about it and decided to explain anyway, lest her father do something rash and actually make her transfer schools.
The college entrance exam is in two months, it's not worth the trouble.
After hearing Ye Zhizhou's explanation, Ye Huaibin felt much better, but he was still worried about his daughter. "Tell Dad who framed you. When you find out, Dad will help you get revenge."
Ye Zhizhou solemnly nodded, and Zhang Ma brought out the dishes at just the right time. She then called the two adults in the family to eat.
While she was eating, Ye Huaibin's phone rang, and she answered it.
"Huaibin, I heard your mother is hospitalized again. Do you want to go see her? She has heart disease."
He wasn't initially displeased when he saw it was Shu Yin, but when Shu Yin mentioned Ye's mother, he immediately became unhappy.
"No, don't contact Ye Huailing anymore. I won't forgive them. Tell them to shut up and stop causing trouble."
After saying that, Ye Huaibin hung up the phone without any hesitation. He didn't object to Shu Yin's association with Ye Huailing and her mother; that was Shu Yin's freedom. But if Shu Yin wanted to persuade him to forgive Ye Huailing and her mother, that was impossible. He had his bottom line.
Although Ye Zhizhou didn't hear what was said on the other end, he could roughly guess who it was from Ye Huaibin's reaction.
"Zhouzhou, don't worry, Dad keeps his word." Ye Huaibin explained again to Ye Zhizhou, afraid that Ye Zhizhou might misunderstand.
Ye Zhizhou nodded, biting her chopsticks; she trusted Ye Huaibin.
After dinner, Ye Zhizhou took a hot shower and didn't have time to check her phone. She only checked it after drying her hair. Qin Xuan didn't say anything more, and she breathed a sigh of relief.
However, Ye Qian did say a lot in the group chat.
[Ye Qian: Dad, you're really not being fair! Why didn't you say Qin Xuan and Zhouzhou were engaged sooner?]
[Ye Qian: Zhouzhou is going to be with someone, Dad, you won't pressure me anymore, right?]
Ye Zhizhou really wanted to roll his eyes at Ye Qian in front of him.
[Ye Zhizhou: Dream on, Dad. I'll get married after Ye Qian gets married, otherwise I won't.]
Qin Xuan: Are you implying that you'll marry me in the future?
Ye Zhizhou wished she could turn off her phone immediately. She just wanted to scold herself for not being able to control herself and for provoking a big shot.
Ye Qian: The younger generation is truly formidable.
Ye Zhizhou thought to himself: Formidable my foot!
Not wanting to pay attention to them, Ye Zhizhou went to bed early, finished his homework, and went to sleep.
Wednesday, an ordinary morning.
"These two students are here from No. 1 High School to exchange learning experiences with our school. Please introduce yourselves."
The homeroom teacher spoke in a calm tone.
Two students, a boy and a girl, stood on the podium. The boy was about 1.8 meters tall, and the girl was sweet-looking, and it was clear that she came from a wealthy family.
"Hello everyone, my name is Su Rui, I come from No. 1 Middle School, and I will be staying at No. 3 Middle School for two weeks."
“My name is Xu Ze, just like hers.”
On the stage, Su Rui and Xu Ze stood together and looked very well-matched, both in appearance and temperament.
Ye Zhizhou held the potato chips in her hand, unable to eat them for a moment. How could she, who was already in No. 3 Middle School, still run into the male and female protagonists of this world?
"know?"
Qin Xuan took a potato chip and stuffed it into his mouth.
Ye Zhizhou shook his head vigorously, "I don't know him."
"Xu Ze seemed to contact you quite often before?"
Ye Zhizhou glanced at Qin Xuan and then remembered that Qin Xuan had also transferred from No. 1 Middle School and had been in the same class as her before. Qin Xuan must know something about Xu Ze and the original owner's past.
She didn't expect that the big shot, who seemed indifferent to everything, was actually incredibly meticulous.
"No, no, it's all because they took care of me out of consideration for us as classmates."
Qin Xuan questioned, "Are you really just classmates?"
Ye Zhizhou: ... (Why does she feel like she's been caught red-handed by her fiancé?!)
