Red-haired boy: "..."
To be honest, he felt a bit guilty when he named that price.
After all, Shi Liao Liao had a face that didn't seem easily swayed by money.
Gu Xuezhaosu was also dumbfounded.
She couldn't believe it and turned her head. "Why did you do that!?"
Shi Liao Liao, feeling a bit guilty, lowered her head as she retrieved the QR code on her phone.
Gu Xuezhaosu thought to herself that she still had some dignity left. "Do you also think I should pat the dust off his pants before leaving?"
It was a mistake.
She forgot to leave a good impression on him, just in case there was a next time.
Gu Xuezhaosu: "..."
Red-haired boy: "..."
I'm not deaf.
Gu Xuezhaosu turned her head sharply and didn't say a word to Shi Liao Liao for the entire class.
Shi Liao Liao was happy with the peace and quiet.
After the math class ended, she had to go to the classroom for the next class.
After most of the people had left, she glanced at the red-haired boy sleeping soundly on the desk.
After thinking for a moment, she patted him and said, "Class is over, fellow student."
The red-haired boy's fingers twitched, as if he had woken up but didn't make a sound.
Shi Liao Liao told him, "If you're awake, you should leave. Being late will result in deductions."
Then she stopped meddling in his affairs and walked outside.
She thought that she wouldn't encounter any more trouble since she was the last one to leave.
However, as soon as Shi Liao Liao stepped out, she saw Gu Xuezhaosu being blocked at the door by several tall and burly boys.
Shi Liao Liao frowned and, thinking of something, eventually turned her gaze away and walked towards the math classroom.
Unexpectedly, as soon as she lifted her foot, she heard Gu Xuezhaosu's voice from that direction: "Shi Liao Liao! Help me!!"
Her voice was filled with fear, as if she had been severely bullied.
Shi Liao Liao pretended not to hear, but those boys surrounded her.
"Are you a friend of Gu Xuezhaosu?"
They closed in, blocking Shi Liao Liao's path.
Shi Liao Liao remained expressionless. "I'm not."
One of them, acting deaf, continued, "She broke my watch. She can't pay for it, so you should compensate."
As he spoke, he took out a broken watch face and showed it to her.
Gu Xuezhaosu huddled up, "It was just an accident. I didn't mean to. It was you who bullied me first."
"Bullshit! When did we bully you? You suddenly squeezed in for no reason and broke the watch I just bought!"
Gu Xuezhaosu flinched back from the shouting, her eyes teary as she looked at Shi Liao Liao.
Shi Liao Liao remained the same. "How much do you want?"
The one who came forward initially was about to speak, but the person next to him nudged him and whispered, "This is from the Lu family."
Only then did the boy reluctantly say, "100,000. Say more and you won't be able to afford it. Consider it my bad luck."
Shi Liao Liao turned to him.
The group of boys exchanged glances, thinking that this girl was quite clever.
They then turned around and left satisfied.
"You made the right choice."
"Damn shorty, don't let me catch you again in the future."
They bumped heavily into Gu Xuezhaosu's shoulder and left.
Gu Xuezhaosu walked over, sobbing, and said with red eyes, "I'll pay you back the money."
As she walked away in embarrassment, she added with some resentment, "Are you satisfied now? Seeing me in such a miserable state!"
Shi Liao Liao: ???
I really lack a lot of money and love in my life, but I don't lack idiots.
A teasing whistle came from behind, and Shi Liao turned her gaze away from the idiot Gu Xuezhaosu and looked towards the person leaning against the door.
The striking red hair and the rebellious face appeared at this moment.
Hmm, he deserved a beating.
"You got ripped off, you know that?" he said.
Shi Liao Liao looked straight at him.
"The Rolex Datejust has a retail price of over 50,000 yuan, but he asked for 100,000 yuan from me. Is that what you're referring to?"
The red-haired boy looked puzzled. "You knew you were giving them money anyway."
Shi Liao Liao smirked.
"Give them money? No, I'm making an investment. Prepare to double the money you extorted from me."
Thinking of the 'D' grade badges on their chests just now, Shi Liao Liao laughed sinisterly several times.
The red-haired boy's eyes looked like he was seeing a monster.
After the last class ended, Shi Liao Liao didn't walk out last this time, but instead rushed to the front.
She still had the task of being the driver and needed to pick up Lu Yanzhou.
Maru wondered, "[I don't usually see you being so proactive. And who were you messaging just now? Why are you being so secretive?]"
Shi Liao Liao was in a good mood, and there was no trace of the fact that she had just been extorted out of 100,000 yuan.
"[Lu Yanzhou is an A-level student. He can dine at the top floor of the restaurant. As a wild boar, I should be able to enjoy some fine food as well.]"
Thinking of the Michelin-starred chef's skills, Shi Liao Liao swallowed her saliva.
As for who she was messaging, it was related to the 100,000 yuan, so Shi Liao Liao kept it a secret from Wanwan for now.
She threw her textbook to her subordinate who had been waiting outside, and a few A-level students stood downstairs, waiting for someone to bring the car over.
"The shorty from that class repeated a grade. Did you do it?" Yang Qingzhou asked in surprise, putting away her phone and turning to the only person beside her, Lu Yanzhou, who was hugging a book.
Lu Yanzhou casually replied, "Even a student with a 40% GPA can advance. I just mentioned that he needs to consolidate his first-year knowledge."
"The atmosphere at St. Don Academy must not be compromised."
Yang Qingzhou suppressed the urge to roll her eyes and grumbled, "Right, as if you've ever cared about the atmosphere."
Before the school could give Lu Yanzhou an explanation about last night's incident, he already knew the truth early in the morning and called the principal.
Thinking about what the shorty had done, Yang Qingzhou angrily remarked, "Just demoting him is too lenient for that shorty."
Looking at the familiar silver sports car, Lu Yanzhou walked towards Shi Liao, who was getting out of the driver's seat, without answering his question.
"Let's go."
Yang Qingzhou informed her subordinate and followed Lu Yanzhou.
"Hey, wait for me," Lu Yanzhou said, handing the book to Shi Liao Liao.
"We're not going to the cafeteria today. We're going to Sanjie Street."
Yang Qingzhou leaned over and grinned, "Yeah, let's go to Sanjie Street. My baby wants to get some fried chicken."
Hearing this voice, Shi Liao Liao felt like she had been struck by lightning.
Wait, this voice??
Maru added, "[Is that the same person from last night???]"
Both Shi Liao Liao and Maru were shocked.
After arriving at Sanjie Street and looking at the young male servant beside him, Lu Yanzhou looked a bit puzzled.
Why was he so quiet today? He couldn't even hear his thoughts.
Shi Liao Liao had originally wanted Lu Yanzhou to personally buy the fried chicken, which would have been quite down-to-earth, until she watched a man in a suit inside the store hand over a series of documents, including real estate certificates, to Yang Qingzhou with a smile.
Shi Liao Liao: "..."
So buying fried chicken means buying a fried chicken shop???
Her gaze towards the two of them became even more different.
They were so doting??
Wanwan advised her not to stare at people with rotten eyes and said that the male lead was 100% straight. If there was any BL in the romance novel, they would be criticized to death.
But Shi Liao Liao still seemed a bit mentally absent.
This state even continued until they arrived at the restaurant.
After realizing that the food was taking too long to arrive, and afraid that the two young masters would get hungry, Shi Liao Liao raised her hand to call the waiter.
"The food is taking too long. Bring us a pot of water to fill our hunger first."
The waiter, who approached with a smile, was dumbfounded by her words.
"Fill our hunger? What do you mean by 'fill our hunger'???"
