Chapter 16 A Thousand Gold Strategy (16)

When Ye Chen was thinking wildly, the door of the room was pushed open, and Chu Zheng came in with two pieces of clothes: "A change of clothes."

Ye Chen looked at his clothes.

"Whose clothes are these?" She is a girl, how can she have boys' clothes?

"bought."

"……"When did you buy it? Did she go out just now?

Ye Chen glanced at the tags on the clothes that had not yet been removed.

No one has ever worn this dress.

Ye Chen looked at the clothes on his body. They were stained with milk tea and blood. They were a little dirty and uncomfortable to wear.

He accepted it hesitantly and squeezed out two words dryly: "...Thank you."

Ye Chen went to the bathroom to take a shower, changed his clothes and came out. When passing by the bedroom, he saw Chu Zheng sitting on the bay window inside.

He hesitated, knocked on the door and entered.

The city lights outside the window were bright, and it was the first time for Ye Chen to stand at such a high place and overlook the night view of the city.

The darkness didn't seem so scary.

He clenched his fist slightly and said, "If your grades are not good, I can help you with tutoring."

Tuition?

give her?

Did she get bad grades?

She is just too lazy to do her homework...

Before Chuzheng could refuse, the heartbroken Wang Zhe stopped her.

[Little sister, promise! Let him see your changes and know that you are a good person who makes progress every day and studies hard! 】

Chuzheng: "..."

Chuzheng pinched her wrist several times with her fingers and responded coldly: "Okay."

Ye Chen breathed a sigh of relief for some reason. He twirled his palms and found that they were covered in sweat.

-

Chu Zheng and Ye Chen naturally got closer when they had to make up lessons.

We walk together after school, and sometimes we come together when we go to school.

Ye Chen didn't ride the bicycle given to him by Chu Zheng, otherwise there would probably be rumors of being adopted.

The gossip among classmates spread like wildfire, as if the two of them really had something.

"Tongtong, do you think Ji Chuzheng is really dating that Ye Chen?" Yang Qianqian pulled Ji Tongtong, her tone full of doubts. Didn't she like Meng Ran?

"I don't know." Ji Tongtong smiled and shook her head: "Sister Xu, I'm just having fun."

"Playing?" Yang Qianqian was puzzled.

"Sister is very playful." Ji Tongtong said softly: "She is always like this. After three minutes of heat, sister should like brother Meng Ran more."

"... She competes with you for senior Meng Ran, and you can still laugh. Have you grown up?"

Yang Qianqian poked her twice as if she was angry.

"Who Brother Meng Ran likes... I can't control it." Ji Tongtong defended weakly: "The teacher called me just now, so I went over first."

When Yang Qianqian watched Ji Tongtong leave, the corner of her mouth suddenly curled up, and her eyes were full of sadness. Who didn't know that Meng Ran liked her.

Ji Tongtong deliberately said those words to Yang Qianqian, knowing that Yang Qianqian would definitely tell them.

Sure enough, it only took two classes.

These words reached Ye Chen's ears.

"Ji Chuzheng doesn't dress up in weird ways, but she's actually pretty good-looking."

"That's not true. She's even more beautiful than Ji Tongtong."

"Ye Chen is a very handsome boy. I don't know how he got hooked up with Ji Chuzheng. Doesn't he think Ji Chuzheng is rich?"

"Tch, haven't you heard? Ji Chuzheng likes Meng Ran, and Ye Chen... I guess they just tease him."

"No matter how you say she is a rich young lady, how can you possibly look after someone like Ye Chen who has nothing to offer but his grades?"

Clang.

The door of the cubicle was pushed open with great force, and several students who were talking outside fell silent at the same time.

Ye Chen came out with a gloomy face and walked to the side to wash his hands. The sound of rushing water made several students step back slightly.

Ye Chen glanced at them and then left the toilet without saying a word.

The boys rubbed their arms inexplicably.

The already cold toilet seemed even colder now.

Ye Chen was a little out of sorts in class in the afternoon, feeling irritable, and the words he heard kept echoing in his ears.

She is so kind to herself, but she still plays tricks on herself.

Putting so much thought into it...

After going through so many things, who can be sincere to you? They will only see your jokes, Ye Chen... wake up!

Ye Chen clenched his pen, his eyes darkened. He lowered his eyelashes to block the emotions inside, took out his exercise book, and calmly wrote two questions.

School is over.

Ye Chen packed up his things and left. When he was leaving the classroom, a person bumped into him. When he saw it was him, he whispered: "Ji Chuzheng is waiting for you on the rooftop of the laboratory building."

The man ran away after saying that.

Ye Chen looked in the direction of the laboratory building, frowned slightly, and walked towards the school gate.

-

"Chu Zheng is back?"

When Chuzheng entered the door, she saw a beautiful woman who came over with a smile.

This is the first time she has seen this stepmother after being here for so many days.

The stepmother was slightly surprised to see her big change, but she soon recovered and answered naturally: "We, Chu Zheng, look pretty like this. We change our appearance and mood occasionally."

"It's time to eat soon, go and wash up." The stepmother smiled softly, and her eyes and brows seemed to be filled with kindness.

Chuzheng: "..."

Extraordinary.

There are many drama queens in wealthy families.

Can it be removed?

[…]Can’t, can’t, can’t, can’t! !

Ji Tongtong was sent back by Meng Ran, and her knee was injured for some reason. With that little injury, Chuzheng felt that there was no need to put a band-aid on it.

But the two of them were just showing off their love in front of Chu Zheng.

Chuzheng went upstairs expressionlessly and handed the stage to them.

After Meng Ran left, Ji Tongtong immediately pulled her mother to talk.

"Mom, did you see that she seems to be a different person?" If she had seen Meng Ran coming back with her before, she would have made a fuss long ago.

"Yeah." Stepmother nodded: "If you hadn't sent me a photo, I almost didn't recognize her when she came in today."

"I don't know why she suddenly changed... She used to be so stupid, and she would take the bait with just a few provocative words... Mom, doesn't it mean that she knows something?" Ji Tongtong's tone was a little more worried.

The stepmother frowned slightly: "Your dad is on a business trip recently and won't be back for a while. Let's observe him first."

Ji Tongtong nodded, indicating that she understood.

The two mother and daughter murmured in the room for a while. When Ji Tongtong left, her stepmother pulled her and asked, "How are you and Meng Ran?"

Ji Tongtong's face showed a bit of pride: "Don't worry, Meng Ran will obey my words now."

"That's good."

Ji Tongtong went back to her room while answering the phone, and bumped into Chuzheng in the corridor. Ji Tongtong was startled, quickly lowered her head, and ran back to the room holding her phone.

The corridor was quiet, and when Ji Tongtong passed by, Chuzheng happened to hear the words Ye Chen.

When school was over this afternoon, she waited at the school gate for nearly half an hour, but Ye Chen didn't show up.

He didn't have a mobile phone either. Chuzheng asked Sanmao to go into school to look for him. The classmate on duty said that he had left long ago.

There was a back door to the school. Chu Zheng thought he had left through the back door because of something, so he went home directly.

but……

Chuzheng took back her hand on the doorknob and looked towards Ji Tongtong's room.
