Chapter 221: I Misunderstood Him

Su Yun Jiao stood up directly from her chair, and all the class's gazes fell on her alone.

Lu Chi beside her said nothing.

The homeroom teacher, because Su Yun Jiao had previously helped Zhou Tingting and caused him to lose face, also had no fondness for Su Yun Jiao. After all, Su Yun Jiao is now his student, so the homeroom teacher certainly couldn't just go along with her wishes.

So the homeroom teacher pushed up his glasses and said, "This seating arrangement was specially prepared by the teacher; don't bother others to swap seats with you."

Su Yun Jiao still wanted to speak, but the homeroom teacher was already preparing to leave.

At that moment, Zhou Xian suddenly stood up from his seat and then said to Su Yun Jiao, "Come sit in my seat."

Zhou Xian is definitely the top of the grade.

Hearing Zhou Xian say that, the homeroom teacher's expression wasn't very good.

But after all, Zhou Xian's family background is prominent, and his academic performance is excellent.

The homeroom teacher still had to favor this student.

Zhou Xian voluntarily swapped seats with Su Yun Jiao, and the homeroom teacher could only turn a blind eye.

After the homeroom teacher left, Su Yun Jiao gave Zhou Xian a grateful look.

But Zhou Xian didn't look at Su Yun Jiao; instead, he chose to sit beside Lu Chi.

Su Yun Jiao, holding her bag, sat beside Zhou Tingting, because according to the teacher's seating chart, Zhou Xian was originally supposed to sit with Zhou Tingting.

Zhou Tingting hadn't expected her brother to be like this—saying one thing to your face but doing another behind your back; clearly he still cared about Su Yun Jiao in his heart, yet he kept saying he wanted to keep distance from her.

"Thanks to the class monitor this time, otherwise I wouldn't know how to face Lu Chi."

"Before, Su Yun Jiao and Lu Chi had been desk mates for over two years, and their relationship was delicate."

"Su Yun Jiao naturally didn't want to sit with Lu Chi."

"Zhou Tingting just kept looking at her brother from behind, her eyes filled with a bit of admiration for the pure love warrior."

"Seeing Zhou Tingting's strange expression, Su Yun Jiao couldn't help but frown: 'What are you looking at?'"

"Because of what Su Yun Jiao said, Zhou Tingting finally came to her senses, and she hurriedly said, 'I wasn't looking at anything!'"

"'But I just clearly felt you were staring at me...'"

"Before Su Yun Jiao could finish speaking,"

Zhou Tingting directly reached out and pressed Su Yun Jiao's arm, saying, "My brother already gave up his seat for you, so you don't need to think about anything else. Anyway, although my brother doesn't like Lu Chi, he treats every classmate equally well."

"That's true."

"He is the recognized elder brother of the class; even though he's now in Class One, many students still admire Zhou Xian."

"After all, who doesn't admire the strong?"

Lu Chi had no reaction to Zhou Xian being his desk mate, after all, as long as the person beside him isn't Su Yun Jiao, anyone is fine.

"'Have you heard? Qin Xue went to Class Four.'"

Zhou Tingting directly told Su Yun Jiao the gossip she had heard today.

Although Su Yun Jiao knew Qin Xue's grades had plummeted, she didn't expect the decline to be so severe that she dropped straight to Class Four.

And this is right before the college entrance exam.

You know, before the college entrance exam, everyone is in the final sprint stage.

Everyone's grades are crucial; they basically determine what kind of university you can get into later.

According to Qin Xue's current grades, even getting into a first-tier university is questionable.

Zhou Tingting said, 'I also have a little insider news: Lu Chi returned all the money to Qin Xue, and Qin Xue now gave the money to Fang Hong; the two of them have completely cut ties.'

"'Where do you get all these little insider tips from?'"

"'It's because you only care about studying and never notice anything else, okay?'"

Zhou Tingting glanced at Fang Hong out of the corner of her eye; although Fang Hong was lucky to still be in Class One, she's still at the bottom there, and being able to stay in Class One this time can only be said to be due to Fang Hong's good luck.

"'School's about to end; why don't you come with me today? My mom says she wants to thank you. If it weren't for Lu Jingqing, I might really have ended up engaged to someone like Zheng Haoyuan.'"

Zhou Tingting took Su Yun Jiao's hand, and Su Yun Jiao immediately recalled what Lu Jingqing had said to her yesterday—Lu Jingqing clearly used this opportunity to help, successfully gaining benefits for both families.

Thinking that all this wasn't for her own sake but for profit, Su Yun Jiao lost all interest.

Su Yun Jiao shook her head and said, 'No thanks, I'm not going.'

"'You should still go; your brother Lu Jingqing is going tonight as well.'"

Hearing that Lu Jingqing would also go to Zhou Tingting's house today, Su Yun Jiao was slightly surprised.

Why would Lu Jingqing suddenly go to the Zhou family out of the blue?

Could it be because of the Zhou and Zheng families' affairs?

Why has Lu Jingqing never told me about this?

Su Yun Jiao was still pondering this when Zhou Tingting beside her already said:

"'My mom told me that Lu Jingqing never interferes in business matters; you know, someone as big as Lu Jingqing, if others ask him for help over a single sentence, he'd have to handle thousands or even hundreds of tasks a day—it would be exhausting! My mom said she never expected Lu Jingqing to help us, and she said Lu Jingqing must especially care about you, my fiancée.'"

Because of Zhou Tingting's words, Su Yun Jiao suddenly realized.

Yes.

Someone like Lu Jingqing can get anything done; even lying around at home all day, money just flows in.

How could he possibly scheme over such petty gains from the Zheng and Zhou families?

Zhou Tingting continued: 'Moreover, my mom said that the hot searches Lu Jingqing bought and the evidence he collected are worth a lot of money; these should have been our family's expense, but Lu Jingqing took care of them all. My mom said we must thank him properly, otherwise letting me marry someone like Zheng Haoyuan would make her feel guilty for life.'

Hearing Zhou Tingting's words, Su Yun Jiao again thought of how Lu Jingqing had told her not to worry, that he would handle everything.

It turned out that at that time Lu Jingqing had already calculated how much money he would spend to help the Zhou family this time.

If we calculate it in terms of favors, Lu Jingqing's going back and forth like this certainly isn't just for those small benefits.

If there really were any profits, they would come from the Zheng family.

People like the Zheng family—no matter how much money you swindle from them, Su Yun Jiao wouldn't feel sorry.

It's over...

One could see Su Yun Jiao murmuring in her heart.

Zhou Tingting was a bit puzzled: "Jiao Jiao, what's over?"

Su Yun Jiao said softly: "I think I... misunderstood him."
