Chapter 36 Ms. Huo said her daughter-in-law cannot be wronged.



Why can't she control her mouth?

"Want to celebrate your birthday here?"

Shen Xingwen was standing at the front desk, but his hearing was excellent; he heard every word of their conversation.

Qin Xuan glared at him, but Shen Xingwen just smiled and said nothing more.

How do you usually celebrate your birthday?

Ye Zhizhou glanced at Qin Xuan. Now that she knew it was Qin Xuan's birthday, she felt bad if she didn't prepare a birthday gift for him, especially since Qin Xuan had helped her so much.

"Same as usual." Qin Xuan had no expectations for her birthday.

Ye Zhizhou didn't respond. She decided to ask Huo Qingyan about it; asking the person involved would only bring more surprises.

Shen Xingwen personally brought the tea over, and Ye Zhizhou looked at the steaming purple clay teapot, the fragrance of the tea leaves refreshing and invigorating.

"Let it cool down a bit before you drink it, it's still a little hot right now." Qin Xuan poured her a glass.

Shen Xingwen couldn't help but laugh, "Even the hacker masters who are only heard on the internet but never seen can have such a gentle side."

Qin Xuan glanced at him, "Didn't you lose badly enough last time?"

Shen Xingwen collected the plates and left immediately.

Ye Zhizhou clicked her tongue in amazement. She finally understood why Qin Xuan was able to deal with her brother's negative news so easily—it turned out he was a hacker master!

"You...are so good with computers, why are your English grades so bad?"

How could someone who excels in all subjects have English as their only weakness?

Qin Xuan took a sip of tea. "Aren't you going to drink some?"

He didn't seem to want to answer her question, so Ye Zhizhou didn't say anything more, and picked up her teacup to drink tea.

After having tea, it was still early, so Ye Zhizhou wanted to go back first. Qin Xuan paid the bill and accompanied her.

Shen Xingwen seemed reluctant to leave, "Why did you all go back so soon? You've already taken leave, why not stay a little longer?"

Qin Xuan shook his head, "No, I'm going back to study."

Ye Zhizhou didn't expect that she hadn't checked her WeChat group chat for just one afternoon, and the group chat messages had already reached 99+.

Sitting in the car, she slowly scrolled through her WeChat messages.

[Ye Qian: Zhouzhou, is this the person?]

[Ye Qian: Get back to me when you have time. Show this result directly to your homeroom teacher. If she has any objections, call me.]

In order not to disturb Ye Zhizhou's classes, Ye Qian rarely called her, and usually sent her WeChat messages.

Ye Zhizhou thought for a moment and then called her brother back.

The phone rang for a while before Ye Qian answered it.

"Zhouzhou, get out of class is over. Did you show that photo to your homeroom teacher?"

Ye Qian's first words were about Ye Zhizhou being falsely accused of cheating.

Ye Zhizhou replied unhurriedly, "I went directly to the principal. The matter has been resolved. Qin Xuan and I strolled around outside for a while and are now heading back."

"Okay, I got it. Go home early."

Upon hearing that Qin Xuan was also there, Ye Qian felt much more at ease.

After hanging up the phone, Ye Zhizhou continued to browse other messages. The most lively chatter was in the grade's small group chat, because Class 3 and Class 8 were arguing.

[Xue Lin: You guys in Class 8 are really bullying us! You think you can act so recklessly just because your families are rich! Qiao Shuxu is not only good-tempered but also a good student, how could she possibly frame Ye Zhizhou?]

[Wang Can: Dare to say the note wasn't written by Qiao Shuxu herself? She's just jealous of Ye Zhizhou's good grades; why not just work harder to surpass him? What kind of skill is it to frame someone else!]

[Bai Lu: Wang Can is right. Exams are about fair competition, and resorting to such underhanded tactics is dishonorable. Besides, Ye Zhizhou's grades aren't bad either. He's not just rich; he's also capable.]

[Zhang Yuhua: We don't believe Qiao Shuxu would do such a thing unless the principal says it himself at the meeting!]

[Lin Qiqi: If the principal really said that, wouldn't your entire Class 3 have to run naked?]

[Feng Xun: Front row seats offer the best view; fixed seats are in the third row on the playground.]

Ye Zhizhou found this somewhat amusing; Lin Qiqi, who appeared gentle and weak, was anything but weak when she started cursing.

"What are you laughing at?"

Qin Xuan suddenly leaned closer. His breathing was shallow, but because they were so close, Ye Zhizhou felt a tickle on his neck.

She moved her phone screen in front of Qin Xuan, and Qin Xuan smiled after looking at it.

"The principal will not only bring this up in a general meeting, but he will also apologize to you."

Ye Zhizhou was taken aback. "How did you know?"

Qin Xuan's eyes were clear. "Ms. Huo said that her daughter-in-law cannot be wronged."

Ye Zhizhou blushed slightly; even though the air conditioning was on in the car, she felt a bit hot.

The car drove into the Ye residence before 5 p.m.

When Zhang Ma saw Ye Zhizhou return, she helped her put down her schoolbag and asked, "Miss, you're back early today. I haven't started cooking yet. I'll go now."

Ye Zhizhou thought that he had come back suddenly without telling Zhang Ma, who must have been in a panic.

"No need, Aunt Zhang, let's order takeout today. It's been so long since we've had fried chicken."

Aunt Zhang frowned, "How can this be? Fried food from outside isn't clean. Our homemade dishes are much better."

Zhang Ma said exactly the same thing as Ye Xiufang. Ye Zhizhou smiled and pushed Zhang Ma out of the kitchen. "It's not a bad thing to eat out once in a while. You and Dad and Grandma can eat the dishes you made, and Qin Xuan and I can eat fried chicken. Isn't that fine?"

"But..." Aunt Zhang wanted to say something more, but after glancing at Qin Xuan, she had no choice but to agree. She figured that Qin Xuan probably wanted to eat it, so she was too embarrassed to say anything more.

"What would you like to drink?" Ye Zhizhou opened the refrigerator, which was filled with a row of various beverages.

According to Zhang Ma, Ye Huaibin instructed her to buy these things. Before Ye Zhizhou returned home, the refrigerator only contained vegetables and fruits.

Qin Xuan pointed to the pure milk on the far right, and Ye Zhizhou took it down and handed it to him.

Ye Zhizhou sat on the sofa, drinking juice and tapping on his phone to order fried chicken delivery.

"What flavor do you want?" she asked Qin Xuan, turning her head.

"Whatever." Qin Xuan looked down and fiddled with his phone.

Ye Zhizhou thought for a moment, then ordered two spicy dishes, turned off his phone screen, and focused on watching the show.

About half an hour later, the takeout arrived on time. Ye Zhizhou carried the takeout and went upstairs to the study with Qin Xuan to eat.

The long-awaited aroma whetted Ye Zhizhou's appetite, and she ordered two large portions, with complimentary juice.

In the previous book, she never ate her fill in order to maintain her figure, so this can be considered a kind of compensation!

One portion was handed to Qin Xuan, while she held the other in her hand and slowly ate it. Fried chicken with juice was simply too delicious.

"Finished eating?"

She thought Qin Xuan would like fried chicken, but to her surprise, Qin Xuan didn't touch it at all. He just sat there quietly reading a book and waiting for her to finish eating.

Ye Zhizhou nodded subconsciously, wiped the oil from the corner of his mouth with a tissue, and unconsciously sat up straight.

Qin Xuan took out a math test paper and placed it in front of Ye Zhizhou.

"We have plenty of time today, so we'll do two sets."

Ye Zhizhou: ...

She's already taken leave, but the boss still won't let her off the hook!
