A different kind of love of the dumb scholar

Chapter 152 Aunt Neighbor ([-]rd)
The information Fengcheng found was not very accurate. Someone was secretly helping Mizugaki, so that even if Fengcheng took action, he could only find some superficial things.

However, even superficial things are enough for Shui Qianqian for the time being.

At least she knows that now Shuiyuan's foreign assets are equivalent to more than one billion RMB, which is similar to that of the Shui family. In Jiangcheng, Shuiyuan's status is comparable to that of Shuixiao.

But the Shui family's weight in Jiangcheng is not very important.

As for who helped Mizugaki after he escaped abroad, so that he developed to this point in just seven years; and who obstructed them from checking Shuiyuan's news, these Fengcheng don't know.

So it does not rule out the possibility that Mizugaki still has assets that have not been found by them.

It's useless to always guess based on the information you find. Maybe they guess here, and Mizugaki's side will start to do it.

It was Shui Qianqian who wanted to find out in person.

At the very least, one needs to know exactly what kind of confidence Mizugaki has to challenge Fengcheng. In other words, one needs to know who is behind Mizugaki.

That person would never help Mizugaki for no reason, and then let Mizugaki deal with them after he helped.Since that person has done this, there is only one possibility, that is, he is their enemy.

Shui Qianqian asked Fengcheng to check the news, since Fengcheng could only find so much, and Bai Jing asked the Shi family to do it, what he found was actually the same.

These messages are of no use.

So Shui Qianqian told Bai Jing that she was going to the Shui family's dinner party tomorrow, and when she said that Shui Yuan would also go, Bai Jing strongly asked to go together.

At this time, the two had left the school gate and were about to take a taxi back to the old house.

"Whether we want to go or not is a matter for tomorrow afternoon. Let's not talk about it now. What do you want for dinner? Go out or cook at home?" Shui Qianqian asked Bai Jing with a smile.

Seeing that he turned his face away and ignored her, he raised his hand and tugged at his sleeve, "Okay, don't be angry, I'll talk about it tomorrow if you have anything to say, I just finished the exam today, I don't really want to use my brain."

Bai Jing sighed, looked at her and asked, "How did you do in the exam?"

"That's it. I must not do as well as you in the exam this time."

"That's not necessarily the case." In the first two exams, there was only a few points difference between them, and she was a little bit ahead of him. It's really hard to say who did better in the exam.

"No, no, no, I'm sure. I know exactly where my own strength is. But one thing I can be sure of is that my score in this test will be higher than the last one." They discussed and studied together for so long, so naturally they would little effect.

It's just that what she said was higher than her score last time, not higher than his.

"Anyway, the first thing this time is that you won't be me."

As soon as Shui Qianqian finished speaking, someone behind him said: "Arguing about who is the first in the exam, have you considered the feeling of being a scumbag? You are sure that the score will be higher than last time, and it is not enough? The score is to your level. What you care about is not the ranking, but the score. It is very difficult to maintain the original score, let alone improve, every point is a big improvement for you."

The two turned back.

The person who came was none other than Xiao Heng.

"What's your expression like?"

"It's nothing, I just think it's shocking that you can say such a compliment for us." Shui Qianqian said this.

"Did you misunderstand me? Didn't I praise you too often? When did I not praise you for your good exams when you got your transcripts back from the previous exams?"

This is true.

But at that time, Shui Qianqian didn't take his compliment seriously.

Because Xiao Heng would talk to Shui Qianqian whenever he got the chance, regardless of whether she would care about various topics.

Shui Qianqian ignored it, but it didn't mean she didn't listen.

It's just that he talked too much, and she listened too much, so she felt that his praise was just looking for trouble, and she didn't care about it...

Now it seems that he was really praising her before?

"Why are you here?" Shui Qianqian changed the subject.

It’s okay if she doesn’t ask, but when Xiao Heng asks, he gets angry, “You still have the nerve to ask? Why didn’t you call me when you were going back this weekend? If Xiang Nan didn’t know from Xiang Su that you were going back this weekend, I wouldn’t even know !"

After finishing speaking, Xiao Heng glared at Bai Jing.

It's a beautiful idea to go back and live alone!

In fact, Xiao Heng really thought too much this time.

This time, Bai Jing really didn't want to go back to live alone, he was more worried that Shui Qianqian would go to the Shui family's dinner alone tomorrow.

Bai Jing didn't have this idea, and naturally Shui Qianqian didn't either.

"Aren't you nervous about studying in the third year of high school? You have only started from scratch until now, and you have spent more time and effort than others. We don't call you because we don't want to disturb you."

Shui Qianqian spoke so sincerely that Xiao Heng was speechless.

"I can learn the same when I go back! Besides, with my IQ, it only takes so much time to study?"

Shui Qianqian and Bai Jing gave him a look at the same time.

Xiao Heng: "..." It seems that this is a bit exaggerated. The two people in front of them have top-notch IQs, but they are still studying hard every day. They didn't start learning from now, but from childhood...

With a dry cough, "Anyway, I can study when I go back. I put the test papers and books in my schoolbag, and I will definitely not delay the study tasks you arranged for me."

They are all out of school, and it is impossible to ask him to go back, Shui Qianqian said: "You can go back, just after the exam, you can rest for a night first, so you can make dinner tonight."

She was worried about what to have for dinner just now. Although she and Bai Jing could both cook, they were not at the same level as Xiao Heng.

Xiao Heng: "..." Why did he practice cooking so well back then?
If someone asked him this question, he would surely say proudly that the talent is here, and it is difficult not to practice it well.

*
The three of them took a taxi back to the old house of the Shui family.

As soon as I got out of the car, I heard someone shouting: "Qianqian."

Hearing the sound and turning around, it was the proprietress of the teahouse opposite.

Shui Qianqian nodded slightly, "Aunt Liu."

Xiao Heng also yelled.

Liu Zhuyun was taken aback for a moment, and then she looked surprised, "Qianqian, you..." She didn't finish the rest of the sentence, but everyone knew what she wanted to say.

It was nothing but surprise that Shui Qianqian was finally willing to speak.

Shui Qianqian could feel that Liu Zhuyun's joy came from the heart.

"It's rare to come back and sit at Auntie's house? Auntie eats alone every day, so she's lonely. Auntie bought a lot of vegetables in the afternoon. If you don't mind, why don't you come over and have a meal together?" He said and looked at Bai Jing, "Are you Qianqian’s classmate, right? Qianqian’s family has no elders, so I will rely on my age and being a neighbor for several years to cook a meal for Qianqian’s elders. Thank you for taking care of Qianqian, I hope you don’t dislike him.”

She said so, and they couldn't refuse.

Originally, she had good intentions.

In recent years, she has indeed taken good care of Shui Qianqian, especially after Shui Tianyue passed away, when Shui Qianqian lived alone in the old house.

Even if Shui Qianqian didn't speak, every time Shui Qianqian came back, she would take the initiative to greet Shui Qianqian, always telling her to close the doors and windows at night, and to call her if she needed anything.

But Shui Qianqian always felt that it was not good to bother others.

Shui Qianqian didn't respond immediately.

She didn't answer, and Xiao Heng couldn't say anything.It's useless to say more about what she doesn't want.Although he prefers to go to Cengfan than to go to other people's house to Cengfan and make it himself.

"Actually, Auntie wants to chat with you and ask if there is someone named Mizugaki in your family."

In a word, the eyes of the three of them were successfully focused on her.

Each belt is fierce.

Liu Zhuyun thought to herself, the children nowadays are really powerful, at their age she is still a carefree student who doesn't understand anything, and they exude such a fierce aura unconsciously.

Especially the boy next to Shui Qianqian.

He is the most restrained, but also the most terrifying.It's like this at a young age, and in a few years it will definitely be a character.

He is worthy of being the heir raised by the Shi family.

Shui Qianqian asked: "Why did you suddenly ask about Shui Yuan?"

It's not about why she knew Mizugaki.

Although this old town has been remodeled a lot, there are still many people who have been neighbors with the Shui family for many years.Many people know about the fact that the Shui family had an adopted son before, although few people mentioned it, Liu Zhuyun has also lived here for five or six years, so she will always hear rumors.

"A guest came to the teahouse a few days ago, and he chose the Accord that could be seen here. I was curious and asked. He said that he was also from the Shui family, and that his name was Shui Yuan, so I wanted to ask. When Old Master Shui was still alive before, I never heard him say that there was such a person in the Shui family, and you, a little girl, lived in the old house, so I was worried... Now that there are so many bad guys, it is imperative to be on guard."

"There is no such person in the Shui family!" Xiao Heng said coldly.

"No? Then it seems that we should be more careful in the future. Well, let's not talk about this, put the things away and go to Auntie's house."

Shui Yuan has been here before, and Shui Qianqian is really not in the mood to visit other people's houses.

Just as she was about to decline, Bai Jing said, "Then I will trouble you."

Shui Qianqian looked at him suspiciously, and he smiled and said, "Qianqian, since it's the kindness of the neighbor's aunt, it's not polite to refuse."

Is this really the case?
Shui Qianqian knew it wasn't.

Bo Jing suddenly agreed that she must have other plans.

"Then we'll interrupt."

They all agreed, and of course Xiao Heng had no objection.

When Bai Jing spoke, he glanced at Bai Jing.Although he always dislikes Bai Jing, he also knows that Bai Jing is reliable.

Bai Jing is not the kind of character who likes to drop by, so if he would agree, he must have his own plans.

Several people agreed that Liu Zhuyun looked at Bai Jing and then at Shui Qianqian.

It seems that the eldest son of the Bai family holds a lot of weight in Qianqian's heart. She has been a neighbor for so many years, and she probably knows what kind of personality Qianqian has, and very few people can influence her decision.

Looking at this Young Master Bai again, he is indeed as powerful as she thought.

Originally, she wanted to say that Qianqian was a little girl living in an old house, and there was no elder in the family, so it was not suitable for Bai Jing to move here.Seeing him now, she felt relieved.

Calm and reliable.

Given the status of the Bai family in Jiangcheng, with Bai Jing by Qianqian's side, Shui Yuan did not dare to act rashly.

"What's the trouble, you can accompany Auntie to have dinner, it's too late for Auntie to be happy. I'll go back and clean up first, and you can come over by yourself when you put away your things."

*
Put your things back in your room.

Before Shui Qianqian went downstairs, Bai Jing and Xiao Heng were standing in the yard waiting for her.

Xiao Heng walked over to Bo Jing and asked, "What are your plans?"

"How long has the proprietress of the tea house lived here?" She didn't know about Mizugaki, which means she moved here after Mizugaki left.

"About five or six years? What's the matter?"

"Mizugaki is the Mizu family who left seven years ago?"

"Yeah, but it's inappropriate to leave, he was kicked out, that scum!" Having said this, Xiao Heng suddenly reacted, "No, why are you asking this all of a sudden? Do you think Aunt Liu moved here? Is it still related to Mizugaki? Are you too imaginative?"

Bai Jing gave him a faint look.

Only then did Xiao Heng confirm that he was serious, "It won't be... right?"

"Whether she has some kind of relationship with Mizugaki is not sure, but I am sure of one thing, she has a problem."

"I think so too." Shui Qianqian walked out.

Because of Bai Jing's anomaly, Shui Qianqian recalled the period from when she went upstairs to put her schoolbag to when she went downstairs, from when they got off the car to when Liu Zhuyun greeted them, and when they invited them to be guests, they did not refuse her before. Speaking of Mizugaki...

It was as if they knew they would be interested in mentioning the name Mizugaki.

And she stood there when they got off the bus, not like a coincidence, but more like waiting for them there on purpose.

Shui Qianqian looked at Bai Jing, "I just don't know what her purpose is."

"What are you talking about? Why do I become more confused the more I listen?" Xiao Heng hated the tacit understanding between the two.

"She waited there on purpose, and offered us to visit her house, and she said Mizugaki's name so we couldn't refuse." Bai Jing explained concisely.

Xiao Heng understands it, but... "Even if she has a problem, there is no need to invite us to her house for dinner, right? Of course, we can talk about other things during the meal, but if you want to chat, why not? She Home Tea House is a good choice, a cup of tea can be done without wasting time cooking.”

This is exactly what Bai Jing and Shui Qianqian were puzzled about.

"Hey! Bai Jing, talk as soon as you speak, what are you doing with my little junior sister? Let go of your hand!"

Xiao Heng looked at the hands naturally held together by the two, his eyes almost popped out.

Looking at the expressions of the two, I was even more shocked, "You, you are together?!"

Shui Qianqian nodded, "Yes." He clenched Bai Jing's hand with his backhand.

Seeing this, Xiao Heng gritted his teeth, "Bai Jing, I want to challenge you one-on-one! Let's go to the martial arts hall!"
