The atmosphere at home was not very good. When Su Yun found out about this, she felt anxious and helpless. She was thinking about where she could use her connections to get Xiao Chi to stay at No. 9 Middle School.
There were no powerful relatives in her family, so she could only worry.
But they still had to eat, so Su Yun called Wen Qiao into the kitchen: "We're out of soy sauce at home, let's go to the store and buy a bottle."
"okay."
Wen Qiao walked out of the yard and into the quiet alley. It was already night, and the street lights had not yet been turned on, leaving the alley shrouded in twilight.
When he reached the corner, he was suddenly pulled in. Wen Qiao was startled and when he looked up he saw Fu Nanli.
The dim light swept across the blue bricks behind him, and all that could be seen was the worry in his eyes.
She was pressed against the wall. Fu Nanli's voice was as usual, reassuring her, "Why didn't you tell me?"
Wen Qiao pinched the corner of his clothes, and her tone was a little bit aggrieved: "You are working, I am afraid to disturb you."
Fu Nanli frowned and held her hand tightly: "Let's talk about it when we get to my place."
"I want to buy soy sauce for my mother. You...you go back first, I'll go over there by myself later, okay?"
The man had a sullen face and did not answer.
Wen Qiao hurriedly went to a street shop to buy soy sauce. After returning, she hurriedly ate dinner, found an excuse to run out, and when she passed the same corner, she was stopped by the man again.
Wen Qiao was surprised, "Didn't I ask you to go back first? Have you been waiting for me here?"
Fu Nanli held her hand and walked out along the alley. Wen Qiao even forgot that her mother didn't know that Fu Nanli was her boyfriend. She forgot to hide it and just let him hold her hand and follow behind her, temporarily forgetting all her worries.
Under the cover of night, he pulled her into the car.
Fu Nanli said in a deep voice: "Tell me the whole story."
When they arrived downstairs of his apartment, Wen Qiao just repeated what happened.
He reached out and grabbed her chin. "I don't want to hear about you from other people in the future. If you have any problems, come to me first. Come to me yourself. Do you hear me?"
Wen Qiao nodded: "Yeah."
The two went upstairs and opened the door. While still at the entrance, Fu Nanli made a phone call, "Fu Cheng, do something for me."
"Brother, what's the matter?"
"Buy Nine Middle School for me."
Wen Qiao: …
Yes, but... it's not necessary.
"Brother, when did you become interested in education investment?" Fu Cheng's teasing voice came from the other end.
"This is urgent. I'm not kidding you. Get it done for me as soon as possible."
Fu Cheng heard the displeasure in Fu Nanli's tone, so he didn't dare to joke anymore and immediately responded, "Okay, I'll get started right away."
"I'll buy it no matter the price."
"With your words, things will be easier."
After hanging up the phone, Wen Qiao was still in a daze and just looked at him. Fu Nanli reached out and unbuttoned two buttons, held her hand and walked to the sofa in front of the floor-to-ceiling window and sat down.
"There's no need to make such a big fuss, right?"
If his family knew that he went to great lengths to purchase a school just to allow her brother to continue his studies, they would definitely think that she had bewitched him.
"This is the simplest and most direct way. I don't like complexity. The management of No. 9 Middle School arbitrarily deprives students of their right to education. If such people are mixed in the education system, they will inevitably mislead students. It is better to just buy it directly and regard it as an investment in education."
Wen Qiao: …
What he said made so much sense that she couldn't even argue with it.
