NOVEL NEXT Chapter 12 - I
After closing the stall and going home, Xie Qi transferred all the money he earned to Li Siwen. Li Siwen felt embarrassed and tried to shirk it, “It was originally saved for you, so just take it.”
Xie Qi said: “200,000 a month.”
Li Siwen: “…”
Xie Qi said: “So just keep it, I have money, don’t worry about me.”
Li Siwen said: “Okay, since you said so…”
Li Siwen accepted the transfer and said a little awkwardly: “My friend suddenly became the daughter-in-law of a wealthy family. I feel strange that I can’t adapt… But is that rich woman serious? She wants you to be her daughter-in-law? Even if her son is in a vegetative state, this is too exaggerated, right? After all, you are only 18 years old!”
Fan Qingyue raised his hand: “Is this something like that, a child bride?”
Xie Qi paused and became strangely silent, because… it seemed that it was indeed what he said, he was… It was indeed called a child bride.
Unknowingly, it became feudal thing.
However, it was not necessarily possible to get married. After all, Qin Yizhi was in a vegetative state, and he was only 18 years old. No matter which country he was in, he had not reached the legal age for marriage and was not allowed to get married.
Xie Qi thought of Yao Wenzhu. She looked a little silly and sweet, which was not in line with her age and experience, but… she could silently investigate him behind his back, and even ‘protect’ him anytime and anywhere. She was really silly and sweet; did she expect that they couldn’t get married at his age?
Xie Qi felt confused. He felt that he didn’t understand Yao Wenzhu very well.
But he didn’t bother to think about these things. Anyway, he did get the money, and that was enough.
After bidding farewell to Li Siwen and Fan Qingyue, Fan Qingyue held up his hands again and said respectfully: “Dad, be careful on the road! Do you need me to escort you back home? The kid has enough strength and courage to protect you!”
Xie Qi: “…”
He rubbed his waist, “No, please step back.”
Fan Qingyue stood upright and gestured, “Yes sir~!”
Xie Qi: “…”
It could only be said that there was a reason for being friends =.=
.
Once he reached the third year of high school, he usually had to attend classes six days a week and another six plus half a day classes. He would be given an extra day off a month, so the school set a schedule for which week would have additional half a day class.
There were exactly six days of classes this week, with Sunday off.
Ah, wait, Yao Wenzhu even knew this. Xie Qi remembered that she said without any scruples that he could spend weekend in the hospital. This made it clear that she even knew about his classmates.
Xie Qi: “…”
No, what was he thinking? To be honest, could someone who can marry into a rich family have a simple role?
Well, never underestimated her anymore! Xie Qi warned himself in his heart.
.
The next day, after Xie Qi finished a class, he took out the eye drops, opened his eyes wide, and dropped a drop into his eyes. Because the drops were expensive, he squeezed a little to moisten his eyes every time. Last time, Yao Wenzhu yelled and surprised him to grip the bottle tightly, he squeezed out more than half of the bottle and felt distressed. Fortunately, he had enough money to continue refilling it later.
However, even if Yao Wenzhu was willing to give him 200,000 yuan a month, he did not dare to waste it and was still very frugal.
Xie Qi finished all the drops in both eyes before he felt much better. It was no wonder that he was hindered in his studies. His eyes were always sore, and it did affect his grades – he was much slower than others in answering questions.
Xie Qi put away the eye drops and was about to lie down on the table and take a nap. Suddenly, he looked up and looked back. He saw several boys talking behind him and looking towards him with a smile. When he saw him turning around, the smile stopped, and he avoided Xie Qi’s eyes.
Xie Qi felt something was wrong. He stood up and walked back. When he got in front of the boys, he said, “I heard you calling my name just now. What’s the matter?”
One of the boys in the lead prevaricated: “It’s nothing, you heard it wrong.”
Xie Qi’s name was easy to pronounce vaguely, but when the boy called his name, the surroundings were quiet for a moment, and his voice became particularly prominent.
Xie Qi heard it more clearly, and he indeed called his name.
But if he didn’t say anything, there was nothing he could do about it. He couldn’t care about what others say, right?
Even if they said bad things about him, they had to say it in front of his face before he could speak to them; otherwise, it would be too bullying.
Okay, Xie Qi sat back and planned to continue resting, but suddenly a person sat next to him. Xie Qi turned around and saw that it was Zhang Xingxing, the representative of the English class. Xie Qi had a good relationship with him, and he looked eager to speak.
After he sat down, he asked directly: “What do you want to say to me?”
Zhang Xingxing said directly: “You don’t know. You have a rumor now that you are being kept by a rich woman. Do you know this?”
Xie Qi: “…”
Zhang Xingxing looked at his expression and was shocked: “Is it true? I thought it was just a rumor! You… Oh my God!”
Xie Qi’s forehead veins jumped, “Keep your voice down…”
Zhang Xingxing covered his mouth and muttered in the palm of his hand: “Is this true?”
Xie Qi said, “False.”
His expression was slightly serious, “Where did you hear this rumor?”
Zhang Xingxing scratched his face and said, “It’s hard to tell. I heard them all talking about it. I don’t know where it came from.” He blushed slightly, lowering his voice, almost whispering to him: “Also, if it is true, please help me ask the rich woman if she has any sisters. If they can give me two thousand yuan a month, I will also be willing.” He glanced at Xie Qi and said slightly proudly: “Besides, I still have abdominal muscles.”
Xie Qi: “…”
Who said college students were cheap? High school students who had never seen the world were even cheaper.
If they weren’t all high school seniors, it would have been a great deal for him to spend two thousand to trick him into becoming Teacher Hou’s caregiver.
Xie Qi changed the subject, “Who did you hear this rumor from in the first place?”
Zhang Xingxing pointed to the boys behind him, “Listen to what they said.”
Xie Qi said, “…”
He stood up and walked straight towards the three boys and asked directly: “Where did you hear the rumors?”
Now that the real owner found out, the boy stopped pretending and said: “What rumors are not rumors? I think it’s quite true. I heard that you went to a nightclub to sell body for money. How much does it cost per night?”
Xie Qi: “…”
He was confused, how could this rumor be more exaggerated than what Zhang Xingxing said?
Thinking about this, he said in a calm tone: “Do you have evidence? If you don’t have evidence, it’s a rumor. I can sue you.”
The boy said unhappily: “Who are you trying to scare? Everyone knows this. If you have the ability, you can kill us all. Sue me, everything I said is true. You are so shameless; do you still want others to give you face?”
Xie Qi: “If you haven’t eaten, I will give you some dog food. You still dare to slander me here.”
Although Xie Qi loved to laugh and be lively, he was actually a relatively calm and self-possessed type in the class, and he always maintained a sense of distance that was neither close nor far from people he was not familiar with. Therefore, in addition to his close friends, no one in the class knew that Xie Qi was so eloquent, and the whole classroom fell silent for a moment.
