Chapter 1387 Unrequited Love 41
Xu Yanzhen was angry for a while, but then she suddenly laughed. She proudly took the bank card: "Then I'm going to make you bleed tomorrow."
Zhou Jinxu knew this matter was over, and he kissed Xu Yanzhen's forehead: "Then you have to work hard."
Xu Yanzhen patted his hand: "You're quite confident."
Zhou Jinxu raised his eyebrows: "That's just my most insignificant strength."
In the afternoon, Zhou Shiyu accompanied the aunt to deliver Zhou Jinxu's luggage. When they passed the shop where Han Yu worked part-time, they saw Han Yu finishing his part-time job and preparing to leave. Zhou Shiyu simply invited him to come up and do the hard labor.
Han Yu looked at Zhou Jinxu, who had just entered the room, still somewhat bewildered: "Your uncle and teacher are together?"
Zhou Shiyu glanced at Han Yu, who was still clueless, and couldn't help but sigh. It was good that Han Yu didn't know his own feelings yet, at least he wouldn't be heartbroken.
Now that Ms. Xu has found a partner, I wonder how many people will be heartbroken?
"Yes, we just got together yesterday." Zhou Shiyu said softly, "My uncle will be living here with my aunt from now on. I'll bring his luggage, and you can come too. We can have dinner together as a family tonight."
Han Yu felt a little awkward: "Why did you call me over for a family meal?"
Zhou Shiyu squinted: "You're your aunt's prized student, so how are we not family?"
Upon being described that way, Han Yu immediately perked up, "Yes, we're family."
He snatched the suitcase from the aunt's hands, a stark contrast to his previous dejected state. He was like a happy little dog, seemingly unruly, fierce, and cold, but actually possessing a very warm personality.
Zhou Shiyu followed behind, pushing a suitcase. He thought Han Yu's personality was quite interesting. Come to think of it, he should have his own people by now, and Han Yu was a good fit.
Upon entering the foyer, Zhou Shiyu greeted her respectfully, "Auntie."
Xu Yanzhen blushed instantly, and nodded hastily, "Hello, please come in."
Han Yu quickly came to Xu Yanzhen's rescue, bowing to Zhou Jinxu and addressing him with perfect pronunciation: "Master."
Unlike Xu Yanzhen, Zhou Jinxu was not shy. He calmly nodded in agreement and sent Han Yu a red envelope: "Very good, this is your change of address fee from your master."
Xu Yanzhen was flustered: "Should I give Shi Yu a red envelope too? I'll go get my phone..."
Zhou Jinxu pressed her down: "I'll send it to him, what's mine is yours, it's the same."
The two boys chuckled to themselves, and then went to the study. In short, apart from the aunt who had come with them, everyone had their own fun.
After arranging everything, Xu Yanzhen walked around the house and felt that Zhou Jinxu's things were everywhere. Slippers, toothbrushes, razors, even Xu Yanzhen's study was half-filled with Zhou Jinxu's books.
He so forcefully yet subtly encroached on every inch of Xu Yanzhen's territory, firmly leaving his mark.
Tan You commented casually, "Like a frog being slowly boiled in water, or a puppy marking its territory."
Xu Yanzhen was unhappy: "How did I become a frog? But he really is a dog."
The thought of him demanding to share a bed in exchange for tuition made Xu Yanzhen think he was a real scoundrel. She had to be careful when talking to him, never knowing when she might fall into his trap.
What's most infuriating is that sometimes she sets these traps herself, only to have them exploited by the other party.
On Monday, after Xu Yanzhen arrived at school, the ring on her finger immediately sparked discussion among everyone. Teacher Liu held Xu Yanzhen's hand and said, "The design is amazing! It's understated yet elegant and classy. The ring must be expensive, right? The gemstone on it is quite special, and there's even a gold thread inside."
Xu Yanzhen shook her head: "I don't know, he prepared it. I didn't ask him how much it cost."
Teacher Liu nudged Xu Yanzhen with her shoulder: "You have a boyfriend now, shouldn't you introduce him to us? We're your family, after all, so we'll help you choose him."
Xu Yanzhen didn't refuse this time: "I'll go back and ask him for his opinion. He's usually busy with work."
One teacher laughed and said, "I understand. People who can afford rings like that must earn a lot and have a heavy workload. We're not in a hurry, really."
She said she wasn't in a hurry, but was she really not in a hurry? Not entirely.
Xu Yanzhen didn't say much about Zhou Jinxu's situation. She had no intention of showing off, but she knew one thing: not everyone would be happy to see others doing well.
People always hate those who have it and laugh at those who don't; they despise those who are poor and resent those who are rich. Even if you have a really good relationship and don't want your sister to suffer, you might still be jealous that she suddenly drives a Range Rover.
Therefore, there's no need for her to flaunt Zhou Jinxu too much. In fact, she doesn't even know where the entrance to Zhou Jinxu's company is, so there's no point in flaunting it.
Soon, news of Xu Yanzhen's relationship spread throughout the entire campus. Jin He came to pick up Wen Che from school that evening and naturally heard the news as well.
Jin He's expression immediately changed. He looked at Wen Che and asked, "Teacher Xu, are you really in a relationship?"
Could it be Zhou Jinxu?
Wen Che understood Jin He's thoughts, and he gave a wicked smile: "Yes, you're in a relationship. Look at Teacher Xu's ring, isn't it pretty?"
He even deliberately dug up a photo of Xu Yanzhen from the forum, the small ring on her finger sparkling in the sunlight. As a designer, Jin He's aesthetic sense is definitely on point.
Xu Yanzhen's ring appears understated at first glance, but the more you look at it, the more you appreciate its ingenious design. Of course, the price is also quite high.
Wen Che watched Qin's father's constantly changing expression and suddenly felt exceptionally good. Jin He had never appeared in his life before, so to say that he had any feelings for Jin He was pure nonsense.
Despite Wen Huizhen's many flaws, Wen Che still favored her over him all these years. Now that he saw Jin He unhappy, Wen Che felt relieved.
Enraged, Jin He started the car and drove away with Wen Che.
When is your mother coming back?
Originally, it was agreed that Wen Huizhen would only cover the expenses, but unexpectedly, Wen Huizhen's father suddenly fell ill, and she had to rush back to the United States to take care of him. So recently, Wen Che has been staying at Jin He's house, and Jin He has been forced to adjust to Wen Che.
It can only be said that the father and son disliked each other.
Wen Che sat in the back seat, lazily playing with his phone. Hearing this, he raised an eyebrow and said, "You think I'm annoying? Then you'll have to be patient for a while longer. My grandpa will be in the hospital for a month this time, and my mom won't come back until he's discharged."
Jin He was frustrated, so he had to live under the same roof as this brat for a month?
At 10 p.m., after the lights in Wen Che's room went out, Jin He went out. He couldn't stand staying at home any longer, and then he found out that Xu Yanzhen had a boyfriend. Jin He felt like his insides were on fire.
Gathered at Shi Cheng's house, Jin He took a sip of wine, his eyes bloodshot: "Teacher Xu has a boyfriend."
