A different kind of love of the dumb scholar

Chapter 57
The corner of Xiao Heng's mouth twitched, "I heard you talking just now, wouldn't it be more convenient to say something directly? Why do you need to write it?"

【Prefer not to say. 】

As soon as she finished writing, Shui Qianqian looked at Bai Jing, "Is the noodles still edible? Otherwise, I'll make it again?"

Such a distinction!

If you don't want to talk about it, then why did you still talk to Bai Jing!

Xiao Heng wanted to shut himself up, but the corners of Bai Jing's lips curled up, "Don't bother, you can eat."

"Nonsense! Of course you can eat the noodles cooked by the young master himself! To be able to eat the food made by the young master, you don't know what good you did in your previous life!"

Although depressed by Shui Qianqian's different treatment, Xiao Heng is a rational person.Last night, Shui Qianqian agreed to accompany him to buy test papers this morning. With her character, she would not break the plan for no reason. Even if Bai Jing was a guest at home, just to buy a test paper, Bai Jing could follow, and it would not have any effect.

So she said she couldn't go in the morning, presumably it had nothing to do with Bai Jing.

"Why can't I buy test papers in the morning? What's the matter?"

After a pause, Shui Qianqian wrote: [Someone from the Zhu family wants to come. 】

She was woken up by the sound of a text message just now, and the person who sent the text message was the same person as last night.

Xiao Heng frowned.

Zhu family?

Isn't it Qianqian's mother who started a new family? "The Zhu family is okay, what are you doing here in the old house? Come to trouble you?"

The point is, with her character, she would make a special trip to wait.

This shows that there must be something wrong with the Zhu family, and it is something that she has to take care of because of her personality that doesn't talk to people often.

Shui Qianqian didn't respond, and ate the noodles with her head down.

"How did the Zhu family know that you went back to the old house? Did they go to school to find you?" Xiao Heng couldn't think of any other possibility except that he went to school but found no one and learned that she had returned home.

If Zhu's family had sent a text message directly to ask her where she was, she would not have responded.

Shui Qianqian nodded.

"Who wants to come from the Zhu family?"

Before Shui Qianqian could answer, she heard someone knocking on the door.

"Could it be the Zhu family? Are you here so early?" After saying that, Xiao Heng got up, "I'll go and open the door."

He had already eaten the noodles, and Shui Qianqian and Bai Jing each ate about a third, so Shui Qianqian naturally did not object to letting him open the door.

"The Zhu family is where my mother remarried." Xiao Heng left the living room, and Shui Qianqian and Bai Jing explained.

Bai Jing didn't say much, but nodded to express his understanding.

Through the conversation between her and Xiao Heng just now, he probably had a guess.

She said that after her parents divorced, each had a new family, neither from the Shui family, but also from her concern, most likely related to her mother.Even if it wasn't her mother's remarriage, it should be relatives and friends.

"I don't usually have any contact with them. After I was sentenced to my father, my mother basically wouldn't ask about my affairs, unless there was something about my uncle's family that required me to show up. Tomorrow is my aunt's birthday. Take it, and go to the Han family to have a banquet tomorrow."

The Zhu family, the Han family...

Bai Jing was silent.

There are quite a few families with these two surnames in Jiangcheng, but there are not many families who have in-laws and have a birthday party.

If he remembered correctly, there happened to be such two matches in the upper class circle.

The Zhu family, a scholarly family, has taught at Jiangcheng University for nearly three generations.

Jiangcheng University is the best university in Jiangcheng. It can be ranked among the top ten universities in the country. It is an institution of higher learning with hundreds of years of experience.

The head of the Zhu family and their wives are all well-known professors of literature at Jiangcheng University.The heir of the Zhu family's generation is said to be a top student in the senior year of the Department of Literature at Jiangcheng University...

In short, it is a book fragrance, peaches and plums are all over the world.

As for the Han family, Jiangcheng's fashion tycoon, the head wife is a well-known fashion designer.

"Are you going with them?"

"Not sure yet." That's the truth.

She didn't want to deal with the Zhu family, but if she went to the Han family to have a banquet tomorrow and she wasn't with the Zhu family or the Shui family, it was inevitable that people would gossip.

She doesn't care about these gossips, but she doesn't want to spoil her aunt's birthday party.

For the Han family, she is not close, but still has some affection.

Over the years, uncle and aunt have visited her in the old house more than her parents.Even though she was as indifferent to them as she was to others, there were some things she kept in her heart.

Who treats her well and who treats her badly, her heart is like a mirror.

Because it was my aunt's birthday party, she couldn't be absent.

"If you don't want to be with them, I can accompany you." After saying that, Bai Jing paused.

He said this completely without thinking and relying on intuition.

He is qualified to attend the Han family's banquet, but if he is with her, it is inevitable that the Bai family will notice her.Even though he already knew that her family background was not much lower than that of the Bai family, he still didn't want her to get in touch with the ghosts and monsters of the Bai family.

Still the same sentence, he is not full, and he doesn't want to fall out with the Bai family for the time being, otherwise he won't get his mother's part of the inheritance, it will be cheaper for others.

Shui Qianqian was slightly stunned, and then smiled, "No, even if I don't go with them, I can go alone. I rarely show up in that circle, and few people have seen me, even if I attend the banquet, it will not cause too much trouble. Big attention."

She didn't ask him if he knew the Zhu family and the Han family, and whether he was qualified to attend such a banquet.

It can be seen from the noble temperament that Bai Jing exudes in his gestures and gestures that he has a high family background.

Jiangcheng said it was not small or big, but there were only so many people in that circle, and the family that attracted the most attention happened to have the surname Bai.

She is not stupid and sweet who doesn't know anything. Not getting in touch with that circle doesn't mean she doesn't understand.

When she was in the hospital when she was nine years old, she figured out something.

Since you can't rely on anyone, then rely on yourself, and don't let yourself be in a passive position at any time.She doesn't have contact with Jiangcheng's upper circles, but she will still try to get to know them.

In case she had to set foot in that circle one day, she wouldn't be in a hurry.

Of course, there was another important reason why she didn't let Bai Jing go to Han's house together.

She is not full, and the guardianship is still in her father's hands. If the Shui family and the Zhu family know that she has friendship with Bai Jing at this time, there is no guarantee that some things will be influenced by them.

The richest man in Jiangcheng, there are quite a few people who want to cling to him.

Although the Shui family and the Zhu family may not be able to do anything to get her, she still doesn't want to involve Bai Jing now.

She didn't want the relationship between her and Bai Jing to be mixed with other things.

Moreover, few people from the Shui family and the Zhu family are likable, and they will inevitably come out to cause trouble.She doesn't care, but she can't let people judge Bai Jing.

They are all smart people, after Shui Qianqian said that, Bai Jing knew that she should have guessed his identity.

Didn't explain much.

Whether it's her or him, what they value is only the other person, and it has nothing to do with family background.

*
At the gate of the old house of the Shui family.

Xiao Heng took the latch and opened the door, and saw a man standing outside the door, about 22 or [-] years old.Tall and thin, he looks very handsome, and with his pair of silver-rimmed glasses, he looks even more refined.

The whole person exuded a bookish air.

At Shui Tianyue's funeral, Xiao Heng met this man.

The eldest son of the Zhu family, Zhu Hu, is 23 years old and a senior student in the Department of Literature of Jiangcheng University.It is said that his name was chosen because the old man of the Zhu family liked "Water Margin" very much.

"Who did I think it was, it turned out to be the young master of the Zhu family. I don't know why young master Zhu came to the house early in the morning?" The word "Master Zhu" was especially emphasized.

Zhu Hu acted as if he hadn't heard his teasing, and said politely: "So it's Young Master Xiao, Zhu is very polite. I don't know if Qianqian is at home?"

Xiao Heng couldn't stand the scholarly family and the polite speech.

"You have chased after the school to inquire, and asked if he is at home, whether it is fake or not?"

"Ms. Xiao laughed. Qianqian didn't reply to my text messages, so I had no choice but to find No. [-] Middle School. Tomorrow, the Han family will hold a birthday party for my aunt, and Aunt Han asked me to pick Qianqian up."

"Auntie? Young Master Zhu shouted so affectionately! Those who didn't know would think that Mrs. Zhu is the biological mother of Young Master Zhu!"

"Auntie Han is very kind to my father and me. My mother left early. Although Auntie Han is not my real mother, she is better than my own in my heart." Zhu Hu's face and tone remained unchanged, and he couldn't read his words at all. Some are true and some are false.

Xiao Heng took a deep look at him, always feeling that this Zhu Hu was not as simple as it appeared on the surface.

"Zhu's family is really happy and harmonious." After finishing speaking, I didn't want to say any more, just said: "Since Young Master Zhu is here to look for Qianqian, please come in. Otherwise, people who don't know will think that our Shui Family Martial Arts School doesn't know how to treat guests , blocking the guests out of the door!"

Is not it?

Zhu Hu's eyes moved slightly, and then quickly recovered, "Thank you."

After closing the door, looking at Zhu Hu's back, Xiao Heng's face darkened slightly.

She ignored Qianqian for so long, and now she came to pick someone up to save face and only sent a stepbrother whom Qianqian had met a few times. Doesn't the lady of the Zhu family care about Qianqian's mood?
Treat your stepson like your own son, and your own daughter like a stranger.

Facing such an outstanding daughter, how could she be so heartless?
Every time he saw Qianqian's parents treat her like this, he wanted to take her directly to the capital.

If it was in the Xiao family, such a well-behaved and sensible girl must be the jewel in the palm of his hand.
