Chapter 211

Lu Chi's words made Qin Xue's face grow uglier and uglier; she hadn't expected that Lu Chi actually already knew what she was thinking, but Lu Chi still cheated two thousand yuan from her.

Lu Chi, I don't care what you're thinking, but I really don't have two thousand yuan right now. Look, I've already been beaten up like this; you know my family's situation. Even if you went bankrupt, you'd definitely have two thousand yuan. Please help me—those money weren't originally yours.

Qin Xue now only wants to quickly give that money to Fang Hong to repay it; otherwise Fang Hong will make a big issue of it.

If her parents are called in, the matter will become difficult to handle.

I have no money; you caused the trouble, deal with it yourself.

After Lu Chi threw down those words, he turned and went back to class; Qin Xue hadn't expected Lu Chi to be so heartless.

The two thousand yuan was money that they had voluntarily given to Lu Chi, and Lu Chi should naturally return it to them.

Thinking of this, Qin Xue immediately chased after him, wanting to pull Lu Chi over to ask clearly, but just then the class bell suddenly rang.

The teacher had already arrived at Liu Ban, and Qin Xue had no choice but to return to class first.

Because of this incident, everyone looked at Lu Chi with strange eyes.

Those underlings who had previously been on good terms with Lu Chi, upon learning that the Lu Family had gone bankrupt, completely reversed their attitude toward him by 180 degrees.

"Our Lu bro actually wants a woman's money too— isn't that a bit too embarrassing?"

"Qin Xue also thought it wasn't anything good, yet she actually took her friend's money to help Lu bro."

"Lu Chi, if you're short on money you can come to us and ask— although we might not necessarily lend it to you."

……

Before, they hadn't regarded them as friends, merely as their own lackeys; now that they saw Lu Chi down on his luck, they began to openly vent their previous dissatisfaction with him.

What Zhou Tingting hated most was the way the boys in her class acted— fawning when someone had money, mocking when they didn't.

Su Yun Jiao, however, felt that this matter had nothing to do with them, and that they should stay out of it.

At the same time.

Qin Xue had realized that Lu Chi would never give her the money, and if she wanted money she could only steal it from home.

No job could earn two thousand in a single night.

Thinking of this, Qin Xue suddenly saw Zheng Haoyuan's face appear in her mind.

If it were Zheng Haoyuan, two thousand yuan would be mere pocket change.

It seemed that after school today she would have to risk contacting Zheng Haoyuan.

Just thinking about what Zheng Haoyuan had done to her that night made Qin Xue tremble all over.

But now she had no other way out.

Seeing that it was already time to get out of school.

Su Yun Jiao and Zhou Tingting left school together; Zhou Xian glanced at them, then deliberately slowed his steps so that they walked ahead of him.

Zhou Tingting realized her brother seemed to be intentionally distancing himself from Su Yun Jiao, so she couldn't help saying, "Brother, why are you walking so slowly on your own? Hurry up and catch up—the driver will be here soon."

"...... Hmm."

Zhou Xian was avoiding suspicion because of Su Yun Jiao and Lu Jingqing.

But Zhou Tingting seemed to think it was nothing.

Zhou Xian walked up beside them; Su Yun Jiao was gossiping with Zhou Tingting about Zheng Haoyuan.

The two of them were at ease in each other's company.

Seeing that his sister had become good friends with Su Yun Jiao, Zhou Xian felt somewhat relieved.

"Brother, Su Yun Jiao is coming over to our house tonight to study; tomorrow we'll prepare together for the Placement Exam. Tonight you should look after us a bit more— if there's any problem you can't solve, you need to teach Jiao Jiao well. My grades aren't as good as Jiao Jiao's, so I can't teach her."

Hearing his sister say that, Zhou Xian opened his mouth but couldn't utter a word.

He could clearly feel that his sister was doing this on purpose, just to let him and Su Yun Jiao be alone together.

In a corner where Su Yun Jiao couldn't see, Zhou Tingting even gave her brother a wink, seemingly understanding why he was deliberately distancing himself from Su Yun Jiao, which is why she did this on purpose.

"There's a tutoring teacher."

Zhou Xian had no choice but to drop that line and then walk off toward the outside of the school.

Seeing Zhou Xian abandon both of them, Su Yun Jiao felt a bit strange: "Class monitor, what's up with you lately? Did I do something to make you unhappy?"

Zhou Tingting shook her head.

She knows best what her brother is thinking.

This matter really has nothing to do with Su Yun Jiao.

"I think he's not unhappy; he's just too……"

"Too fond."

Zhou Xian is someone who easily hides his thoughts; if it weren't for the people closest to him, no one would know what he's thinking, and if he weren't her brother, Zhou Tingting might never figure out what his feelings toward Su Yun Jiao really are.

If it weren't for that day when her mother told her.

Zhou Tingting also didn't know that her brother had actually taken a liking to Su Yun Jiao so early.

Moreover, that time was far earlier than when the three of them started high school together.

"Never mind, let's have big brother wait for us in the car now, and we'll go together."

"Okay."

Su Yun Jiao and Zhou Tingting left school together.

The two had just reached the school gate when a person in a security uniform ran up to Su Yun Jiao and Zhou Tingting, asking, "Excuse me, are you Miss Zhou?"

Seeing that they had come for her, Zhou Tingting wondered, "What's up?"

"Just now I saw your brother being dragged into an alley by someone."

"What did you say?"

In just a couple of minutes, her brother had already been dragged into an alley?

Realizing the danger, Zhou Tingting immediately shouted for the security guard to follow them to that alley.

Su Yun Jiao didn't think too much, but she felt that something was not quite right.

She seemed never to have seen this security guard.

After reacting, Su Yun Jiao immediately pulled Zhou Tingting: "Don't go! Hurry back!"

Having said that, Su Yun Jiao pulled Zhou Tingting in the opposite direction, but it was already too late.

The other side's people had already blocked Su Yun Jiao and Zhou Tingting.

On the stretch of road they had just run, for some reason there was nobody.

Until they saw the hooligans ahead gradually approaching them.

Only then did Su Yun Jiao realize that someone must have deliberately set a trap for them to fall into.

Just then.

Zhou Xian was still waiting in the car outside the school, and after about seven or eight minutes he still hadn't seen his sister and Su Yun Jiao come out.
