The next morning, Ms. Du Xiaoxian went to school happily wearing new shoes. When she entered the school gate, she saw Cheng Mingchi parking his bicycle. Du Xiaoxian seldom took the initiative to greet people, but he mustered up the courage to call him.
Cheng Mingchi turned around and smiled at her: "Hi, Du Xiaoxian."
Du Xiaoxian said, "Do you go to and from school by bike every day?"
"That's right, the bus station is still some distance from my house, so it's more convenient to ride a bicycle." Cheng Mingchi asked, "What about you? Do you go to school by bus?"
Du Xiaoxian blushed a bit, and said in a low voice, "Someone sent me here."
"Oh," Cheng Mingchi said with a clear look, "Is this your sponsor?"
"Forget it, right?" Du Xiaoxian didn't know why he felt a little guilty in front of him. None of them are rich. Cheng Mingchi goes to school by bicycle, but she has a driver in a luxury car to take her there. But she didn't have any sense of superiority at all, instead she felt guilty.
At this time, someone strode up and said in a strange way: "Hey, Cheng Mingchi, you have become a flower protector!"
Du Xiaoxian looked back, it was Yu Yuanpo who was dragging her away yesterday.
Cheng Mingchi ignored him, and pulled Du Xiaoxian away hurriedly: "I'll take you to the classroom."
Du Xiaoxian followed him quickly and asked, "Who is that man?"
"A guy who makes a lot of trouble, don't pay attention to him."
But Yu Yuanpo shouted from behind: "Cheng Mingchi, I will make you regret it!"
Du Xiaoxian glanced back at the boy: "Why is he so fierce?"
"Relying on how much money the family has, he is domineering. He is not the only one in school like this."
"Do you have to be overbearing if you have money?"
Cheng Mingchi said: "This is a society that hates the poor and loves the rich. Money divides people into the upper class and the lower class. It is only natural for the upper class to bully the lower class."
"Someone told me that people are equal." Du Xiaoxian also thought that people were divided into different classes before, but Gu Nianbin told her that people are equal no matter how much money they have.
Cheng Mingchi sneered: "That's all lies!"
Du Xiaoxian looked back at Yu Yuanpo, and asked worriedly: "He won't trouble you, will he?"
"I'm not afraid of him." Cheng Mingchi let go of her hand at this moment, pointed to the classroom not far away and said, "Go, if you see him later, go around farther away."
Du Xiaoxian nodded, shook his hand at him, and walked into the classroom quickly.
Wang Qian also wore a new dress today. When she saw Du Xiaoxian, she beckoned to her affectionately. The two girls sized each other up and couldn't help laughing. Yang Liying watched from the sidelines without saying a word, but Liu Tiantian Said: "Wang Qian's skirt is so beautiful, did you buy it yesterday?"
Wang Qian said, "Yes, Xiaoxian's shoes are also very beautiful."
Liu Tiantian glanced at Du Xiaoxian's feet, curled her lips disapprovingly, it really wasn't pretty.
Yang Liying said at this time: "You two are walking pretty close now? Going shopping left me and Tiantian behind."
"You guys left first, and we went." Wang Qian hurriedly argued.
Yang Liying smiled, "Why are you so anxious, I didn't say anything."
Du Xiaoxian looked at Yang Liying, then at Wang Qian, and said, "Then, let's go together next time."
"Okay!" Yang Liying leaned over and took out two invitation letters from her schoolbag, one for Du Xiaoxian and one for Wang Qian: "I must come to my coming-of-age ceremony dance!"
Du Xiaoxian received the exquisite invitation, and suddenly became nervous again: "I, I have never attended a dance."
"Don't be nervous," Yang Liying said, "It's enough to prepare a small gift, and remember to wear a dress, don't be like going to Wang Qian's birthday party, a T-shirt is not enough."
"A dress?" Du Xiaoxian didn't understand, "Where can I get a dress?"
"Just tell your family. They will prepare for you." Yang Liying said.
"Yes," Wang Qian suddenly became excited: "Ask your brother to prepare. Then you can take your brother to participate."
Yang Liying raised her eyelids and smiled a little weirdly, "So you have an older brother, so welcome your older brother to come with you!"
Liu Tiantian glanced at Yang Liying and said, "That's right, it would be best if you can bring your male companion to attend."
Du Xiaoxian shook his head without thinking, "He's very busy, he doesn't have time, he won't go."
Wang Qian asked, "Xiaoxian, is your brother married yet?"
"No, no." Du Xiaoxian didn't want to continue this topic, and when Gu Nianbin was involved, Du Xiaoxian was always flustered.
Wang Qian smiled at the corners of her eyebrows and opened her mouth to ask again. She was really curious about Du Xiaoxian's brother. Du Xiaoxian was even more flustered seeing Wang Qian jumping for joy, and almost wanted to run away. Fortunately, the class bell rang and rescued her in time.
The morning passed quickly, and what Du Xiaoxian liked most was going to the student cafeteria to eat, where he could eat delicious food, chat, or just sit in a daze without doing anything.
But just after buying the meal and sitting down, a man who was limping stopped in front of their table. Before Du Xiaoxian could raise his head, he heard the three friends next to him gasp, and then called out enthusiastically and in unison: "Mr. !"
Now Du Xiaoxian knew who it was without looking up, she sighed in her heart, she said that her aura was wrong last time, why is he here again
"Hi! Xiaoxian." Jiang Kaiwei sat down and said, "I came here specially to invite you to dinner, but I didn't expect to come one step too late."
Yang Liying reacted the fastest and jumped up immediately: "Mr. Jiang, I'm going to buy you food."
"I'm going to buy coffee." Liu Tiantian also ran away not to be outdone.
Jiang Kaiwei said: "Xiaoxian, you are a bit mean, I came here twice, and you didn't invite me to eat even once."
Du Xiaoxian said: "You are richer than me, why should I hire you?"
"But I don't have a meal card here," Jiang Kaiwei said, "Besides, we are friends, shouldn't we be polite to friends?"
Du Xiaoxian looked at him and said seriously: "We are not friends."
Jiang Kaiwei's smile froze for a moment, then bloomed again in an instant, "Why aren't you a friend? You have accepted all my presents!"
"What gift?" Du Xiaoxian looked at him inexplicably.
Jiang Kaiwei glanced at her feet, Du Xiaoxian was still puzzled, but Wang Qian suddenly realized: "It turns out that the person who paid the bill yesterday was Mr. Jiang."
Du Xiaoxian was shocked. If Jiang Kaiwei bought it, why would Gu Nianbin agree to take it? They are obviously not friends!
Seeing Du Xiaoxian's surprised look, Jiang Kaiwei was also surprised: "What? You don't know? He didn't tell you either?"
"I didn't know it was you," Du Xiaoxian said slowly, "If I knew it was you, I wouldn't ask for it." She took out the card: "Can I swipe it?"
Jiang Kaiwei didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "How can I use it? I'm a POS machine?"
Du Xiaoxian lowered his eyes and said nothing, as if he was thinking, Jiang Kaiwei suddenly became a little nervous, and said, "Actually, you don't need to worry about it, it's just a small matter."
Du Xiaoxian didn't speak, but slowly took off the shoes and brought them in front of him: "I just wore them today, it's still very new, I'll return them to you."
Jiang Kaiwei looked at her tongue-tied: "Xiaoxian, you, you don't have to do this, do you? It's really just a trivial matter."
"It's more than two thousand yuan, why is it a trivial matter?" Du Xiaoxian looked at him seriously: "I don't want to accept your gift."
Young Master Jiang stroked his forehead in frustration, Du Xiaoxian, do you want to be so frank...
Wang Qian, who was sitting by the side, was very disturbed, grabbing the hem of her skirt and twisting it back and forth. Du Xiaoxian returned the shoes, but what about her skirt
Fortunately, Du Xiaoxian dispelled her worries when she opened her mouth: "Mr. Jiang, I will return the money to you for my friend's skirt. I didn't bring any cash with me today. I will definitely return it to you another day."
Mr. Jiang was suddenly very embarrassed. Is he playing house with the little girl now
"If you say you don't need it, you don't need it, and it's not worth a lot of money." Jiang Kaiwei was a little impatient, "I've never seen such a rigid person like you."
Du Xiaoxian thought, am I rigid? I just don't want to be so vague.
Looking at Du Xiaoxian's dull face, Jiang Kaiwei felt more and more uncomfortable. Is he so disgusting? He is handsome and rich, does he need to show his affection to others with a shy face
Seeing Jiang Kaiwei's complexion turned bad, Wang Qian became even more nervous, and poked Du Xiaoxian, trying to make her speak softly. Du Xiaoxian couldn't understand this kind of hint at all, and still kept a dull face and didn't speak.
At this time, Yang Liying, who bought food, and Liu Tiantian, who bought coffee, came back, and they put things in front of Jiang Kaiwei with a smile. "Mr. Jiang, the meal is here."
"Coffee is here, too."
Jiang Kaiwei was upset, and raised his eyelids: "Did I say I want to eat?"
Yang Liying's smile froze, and she stammered, "You, don't you want to eat?"
Liu Tiantian immediately pushed the coffee closer: "Then, let's drink coffee."
Jiang Kaiwei remained silent with a sullen face. The atmosphere was rather awkward. Du Xiaoxian couldn't stand it anymore, and muttered: "Buy it and don't eat it, it's a waste."
Waste is waste, Jiang Kaiwei thought angrily, anyway, he can afford to waste.
Du Xiaoxian slowly put the shoes he was carrying in his hand on the ground: "Mr. Jiang, take your shoes and go home. If you go back late, if you don't make time for dinner, then you will really be hungry."
Jiang Kaiwei looked at the shoes for a moment, then suddenly picked up the chopsticks: "Who says I won't eat them?" As if to prove his words, he stuffed them into his mouth.
Du Xiaoxian said: "You can eat slowly, no one will snatch it from you."
All three of Yang Liying couldn't help laughing, but Du Xiaoxian was serious and didn't seem to be joking at all, and Jiang Kaiwei didn't know what expression he should have at all. Then he choked on a mouthful of rice and couldn't speak a word. Yang Liying hurriedly poured water for him, and Liu Tiantian asked anxiously, "Mr. Jiang, are you alright?"
Jiang Kaiwei didn't bother to answer, he took a glass of water and drank it, and Du Xiaoxian said: "Look, I told you to eat slowly, right?"
Jiang Kaiwei took several sips of water before putting down the water glass. He lowered his head and ate in silence, feeling that he made a mistake again today. He checked Du Xiaoxian's details, and it wasn't complicated at all. His mother died young, his father didn't care much about him, he grew up alone, and then went to work as a maid in Gu's family, and then he was eaten by that old cow Gu Nianbin...
He is not interested in Du Xiaoxian herself, what he is interested in is the man behind her! In his opinion, Du Xiaoxian is the straw that can overwhelm Gu Nianbin. Although it is disgraceful to make a fuss about a little girl, Jiang Kaiwei doesn't care. He really wants to see the moment when Gu Nianbin is destroyed.
