Chapter 54
Although Zuo Zhiyu had given her his phone number, Quan Zhisui didn’t have much hope for Teacher Qian’s proposal. Zuo Zhiyu didn’t care at all about her future. The fact that he had readily agreed to let her become a special talent student was proof enough. Forcibly transferring her from the martial arts school to Liangzhong Middle School said it all.
She could only go on as usual and try her best.
It was just past 4pm now. The school sports meet still hadn’t ended, so students with nothing to do were in the classroom doing homework or chatting.
Kong Mingze and Zhuge Ying were sitting in the front row drinking milk tea, leaning their heads together as they laughed and chatted about who knows what fun thing.
Meanwhile, Wei Shixu was sitting in the last row in Kong Mingze’s seat.
When Quan Zhisui returned to her seat, she pulled and twisted at her shoulders.
This little action was keenly noticed by Wei Shixu.
“Too tight?” he asked.
Quan Zhisui: “...”
Awkward. But it really was too tight.
Wei Shixu tilted his head slightly, dropping his gaze for a quick glance.
Did she buy a size too small?
What size was that...
A flash of indiscernible meaning shone in his eyes, and the corners of his mouth also curved up as he said, “Let’s go out this weekend. I’ll get you new ones.”
Nice ones, expensive ones, pretty ones.
Quan Zhisui was even more embarrassed. Lowering her head, she said, “No need, thanks. I’ll buy them myself.”
Today Wei Shixu had helped out tremendously. Now Quan Zhisui agreed with Kong Mingze’s words—sometimes he really was the best person in the whole world.
Wei Shixu turned to face her directly. “You buying them yourself, or are you still going with that idiot brother of yours?”
His gaze carried some oppressive force, as well as dissatisfaction.
Quan Zhisui: “He has more pocket money. I’ll use his money to buy them.”
Her meaning was that she would indeed be going with Zuo Zichen.
Wei Shixu leaned back against his chair somewhat unhappily. “How much pocket money does he have?”
Quan Zhisui: “50,000.”
Wei Shixu seemed to scoff. “I have 5 million. Come with me.”
Quan Zhisui looked at him instantly. “How much?!”
Just then, Kong Mingze raised his hand from the front row. “I can confirm what he said is true. And it’s probably even more than that.”
Quan Zhisui was shocked!
5 million, not 500!
Kong Mingze raised his hand again to add, “When he was 13 he already had 5 million. I saw it with my own eyes!”
Yeah, given to him.
Felt awesome, going straight from a poverty-stricken household to opening a hot pot restaurant!
Quan Zhisui was so shocked her eyeballs bulged out!
She dreamed that Wei Shixu was staring at her, staring and staring until his eyes were scorching hot. Not only did they burn her, but he even pushed her into a corner and bit her!
Quan Zhisui woke up with a fright!
Looking at her phone, it was 3:30 AM.
Right then, a message came in.
[Fang Yue: Back in the country, on my way home]
Quan Zhisui was still startled, and it wasn't until the message was retracted two minutes later that she reacted.
Zuo Zhiyu was on his way back, and these past few days he had even gone abroad for work!
Quan Zhisui couldn't fall back asleep now, so she simply got up, got dressed, and went out to the yard to practice her fundamentals.
She kept at it until sunrise, then Quan Zhisui went to take a shower covered in sweat before preparing to eat breakfast.
Ma Xinwei had also gotten up at dawn, grumbling as he prepared a feast for Zuo Zhiyu. He felt like the man of the house really had a problem, exploiting the chef, making him get up to cook no matter the time.
And so when Quan Zhisui came downstairs, Zuo Zhiyu was sitting there eating.
The instant Zuo Zhiyu saw her, his face even twisted bitterly, but very quickly he put on a smiling expression. "Zhisui my dear, daddy's precious daughter is up so early?"
Quan Zhisui: "You're back, give me money."
After saying that, she pulled out a chair and sat down to eat.
Anger flashed through Zuo Zhiyu's eyes. "Zhisui dear, the family's money doesn't blow in with the wind. It's earned through daddy's hard work. And didn't daddy give you money last month?"
Quan Zhisui: "That was for food expenses. This time I want to buy clothes."
Zuo Zhiyu picked up a napkin and wiped the corners of his mouth. "How much do you need?"
Quan Zhisui: "100,000."
Zuo Zhiyu frowned. "Your brother only gets 50,000 a month. You can't ask for that much."
Quan Zhisui: "Then I want the same as my brother."
Zuo Zhiyu took a deep breath. "Zhisui dear..."
"20,000, annoying." Quan Zhisui didn't have time to haggle with him.
Zuo Zhiyu: "How about this, daddy will buy whatever clothes you need, but it's not good for a girl to have too much money on her."
Quan Zhisui looked up at him, and suddenly laughed.
He was afraid of what she would do with money in hand. His guard was raised this much.
In the end, she didn't manage to get any money from Zuo Zhiyu. It seemed she really could only exploit Zuo Zichen.
Quan Zhisui went to school early, arriving at 6:30 AM.
As she walked from the gates to the classroom building, stepping up the stairs one by one, she kept thinking about what had happened that morning. Zuo Zhiyu's secrets ran deep, but luckily Fang Yue was gravitating more and more towards her side.
After going up to the second floor, Quan Zhisui lowered her head to round the corner and walk forward, but her peripheral vision caught something.
She suddenly sprang up like a startled cat, jumping far away!
In the corner...
Wei Shixu held a cup of soy milk in his hand, looking completely baffled.
