Chapter 25 - Chu Yuan

After Si Yu left the classroom, she saw Kun You waiting at the door of the principal's office. Shen Zhi had probably chased them out after she left.

When Kun You saw her from afar, he recalled Si Yu standing alone in the principal's office, looking helpless.

His heart ached for a moment, and he watched with a heavy heart as Si Yu walked over. However, she didn't say anything, and he didn't ask either.

It was quiet in the car. After hesitating for a while, Kun You asked, "What did he offer?"

Si Yu sighed. "We don't even know if it's true or not, so let's not talk about the conditions." If it is true, and he refused to change her conditions, what should she do then?

Si Yu was really worried now. She had to think of an equal condition these few days. Three chances for the Hacker Alliance to help, for instance? It was more than three times, anyway, which made it so annoying. It would be better to go back and ask sister Jiu Qi. She was better at this kind of thing.

They didn't say anything along the way. Kun You brought Si Yu back to the villa. When they got out of the car, Kun You grabbed Si Yu and said, "You can tell me if you're facing any problems. You're my wife, so what's mine is yours!"

"Ah, it's not a big deal. I can handle it myself." Si Yu pretended to smile in a relaxed manner. Seeing Si Yu like this, Kun You didn't say anything more and only let go of his hand worriedly.

Si Yu smiled slyly and held Kun You's hand. "You're swamped with a lot of work, so don't worry about me. I'm not a child."

As soon as she finished speaking, the group message notification on her phone rang. Si Yu was really annoyed with these group messages lately. Even if there was no big deal, people would keep spamming non-stop. She didn't want to look at it, but since her phone wouldn't stop buzzing, she had no choice but to see what the fuss was all about.

The ruckus was about the calligraphy competition that would be held in a month's time. Dragon City University would start holding various activities after the freshmen finished their military service, and the biggest event this year was the calligraphy competition.

Si Yu's heart skipped a beat when she saw the calligraphy competition. She had fought with Chu Yuan for the first time in a calligraphy competition, and she had lost.

"What's wrong?" Kun You asked with concern when he saw Si Yu staring at her phone without saying anything.

"It's nothing. It's just a small matter in school." Si Yu kept her phone. "Let's get out of the car. Uncle Xu is probably waiting for us to have lunch."

Presently, in the Chu family's house, Chu Yuan was on the phone in her room.

"Okay, I got it. Keep an eye on it. Don't let Old Shen find out," Chu Yuan said lightly.

She didn't know what was said on the other end of the phone, but Chu Yuan continued, "Let's call it a day. You don't have to worry about Si Yu. Alright. Our guest has arrived. I'll be going down."

"Yuanyuan, I'm looking for you. You should keep your grandma company later. When your Grandpa Wu arrives, remember to perform well." Mrs. Chu kept nagging Grandpa Wu to bring Chu Yuan to the capital to expose her to the different lifestyles there.

"Alright," she said. After Chu Yuan agreed, she went to find her grandma.

Old Madam Chu had participated in the war in the past. She and her husband, as well as the Wu family patriarch, who had come to the capital city, had been comrades-in-arms and friends through life and death.

"Yuanyuan, has Wu Guo arrived yet?" Old Mrs. Chu chuckled as she sat in her wheelchair.

Chu Yuan pushed old Mrs. Chu towards the main entrance. "You'll know once I push you there to take a look." As soon as she finished speaking, a few cars with red flags drove by the gate of the Chu residence. They had license plates registered in the capital.

The members of the Chu family had already arrived at the door to welcome them. Chu Yuan even pushed her grandmother over in a leisurely manner, and old Mrs. Chu was not in a hurry either.

Speaking of which, the Chu family was considered to be rather prosperous. Among all the children, however, Chu Yuan was the one who won old Mrs. Chu's heart the most. Chu Yuan was considered a prominent figure in the entire Dragon City. At the very least, she was more well-known than Si Yu. However, Si Yu did not care about this.

After the cars were parked, a few bodyguards got out of the car and opened the door of one of the cars. An old man dressed in ordinary clothes got out. He was in high spirits, and his every move had the iron-blooded aura of a soldier.

"Wu Guo, you haven't changed much after so many years. How's your body?" Old Mrs. Chu saw Wu Guo from afar and was particularly excited to see her comrade.
