Chapter 308: Chapter 308
Zhao Meimei had a VIP ticket from a mother’s and baby’s store event on the 11th, which she forgot about for several days.
She originally intended to give the ticket to Qian Simeng, but when she saw Peng Hui, who was walking over with her arm around someone else’s shoulders, she suddenly realized that Peng Hui’s sister, Peng Rui, was Qu Chaozong’s ex-girlfriend. If the ticket was handed over, who knows if Qu Chaozong would feel uneasy about seeing Peng Hui.
Zhao Meimei stuffed the ticket back into her backpack, planning to ask Shi Yang about it at home that evening.
Peng Hui walked over, hooking one arm around Zhao Meimei’s shoulder, the other around Qian Xiaomeng, and asked, "What’s for lunch?"
Always a spicy food lover, Zhao Meimei quickly suggested, "Spicy hot pot!"
Peng Hui refused without hesitation, "My body’s been heated up these days, and I’ve got pimples on my forehead. Don’t tempt me with spicy food. How about this, you guys accompany me to drink some mutton soup instead?"
Qian Simeng mumbled, "Isn’t mutton soup even more heating?"
Peng Hui was about to object when Zhao Meimei suddenly yanked her arm. She turned her head in confusion to ask, "What is it?" only to see Zhao Meimei looking past her with a surprised expression.
Peng Hui turned her head and, since it was noon and most people were heading to the cafeteria or off-campus, the figure moving against the flow was particularly conspicuous.
The person looked around twenty-seven or twenty-eight, dressed in a light gray suit with long hair tied back, and quite pretty.
Peng Hui asked, "Meimei, do you know her?"
Zhao Meimei’s face sank, looking very annoyed as she clenched her teeth, "I’d recognize her even if she turned to ash."
Peng Hui, curious, glanced back again, but the person had already disappeared into the crowd. Chapters fırst released on Nov3lFɪre.ɴet
Unable to contain her inquisitiveness, Peng Hui asked, "What’s got you so worked up? Did she do something bad to you?"
Zhao Meimei squeezed out through her teeth, "She’s trying to steal my man!!"
There was only one major class in the afternoon, and not long after it started, Shi Yang messaged Zhao Meimei to tell her to head to the parking lot outside the school right after class.
After class, Zhao Meimei waved goodbye to Peng Hui and Qian Simeng and hurriedly made her way off-campus with her bag.
As she reached the school gate, a group of boys came over from the opposite direction. Zhao Meimei quickly stepped aside but unexpectedly, as the boys were joking around, one was pushed by a companion and stumbled directly towards her, bumping into Zhao Meimei unexpectedly.
Both exclaimed at the same time.
Zhao Meimei staggered but was promptly steadied by a firm hand on her arm. She regained her balance and looked up to see a boy standing close to his companions.
When he saw Zhao Meimei looking at him, he gave a gentle smile, revealing two rows of neat, white teeth. Zhao Meimei noticed he was quite handsome.
The boy who bumped into Zhao Meimei quickly asked, "Are you okay, classmate?"
Zhao Meimei shook her head, "I’m fine."
The boy apologized sincerely, "Sorry, I didn’t mean it."
Distracted, Zhao Meimei waved her hand dismissively, "It’s okay." After saying that, she left.
When Zhao Meimei got to the parking lot, Shi Yang was already there.
As soon as she got into the car, Zhao Meimei grabbed Shi Yang and asked, "Brother! What was the name of that little high school sweetheart of yours again?"
Shi Yang paused for a moment, then cleared his throat, "Don’t talk nonsense, I never had any little sweetheart!"
Zhao Meimei squinted her eyes, giving a huff, exuding jealousy, "I mean your high school class representative. What was her name again?"
Instead of answering, Shi Yang asked back, "What made you think of bringing her up?"
Zhao Meimei pressed on, "Just tell me, what’s her name!"
Shi Yang responded, "Zhang Jiahui."
Zhao Meimei silently repeated the name in her mind to remember it.
Then she turned to continue asking, "Brother, you two didn’t have a thing back then, did you?"
Shi Yang maintained a calm expression, lying with confidence, "Nothing of the sort."
Zhao Meimei didn’t believe him, observing Shi Yang’s face closely, "Really? Brother, you promised never to lie to me."
Shi Yang squinted slightly, soothingly saying, "My first kiss was with you; who else would I have had something with?"
Shi Yang had a cleanliness obsession, and even though he dated two girlfriends, he had never kissed them.
Zhao Meimei believed him, her expression easing a bit.
Shi Yang asked, "Why did you think of mentioning her?"
Zhao Meimei recounted the incident of running into Zhang Jiahui on campus at noon.
Shi Yang then remembered that Zhang Jiahui had indeed mentioned she taught at a university.
Zhao Meimei asked, "Brother, what do you think she’s doing at our school?"
Thinking it unlikely as university teachers are many and difficult to meet unless in the same department, Shi Yang casually replied, "Maybe she’s visiting someone; I don’t know, I haven’t been in touch with her."
Upon hearing there was no contact, Zhao Meimei subconsciously rubbed her engagement ring, feeling relieved, and then remembered what she needed to ask.
Zhao Meimei asked, "Brother, isn’t your store arranging for Xu Meiyuan to attend an event on the 11th?"
Shi Yang helped Zhao Meimei fasten her seatbelt, "Yes, why?"
Zhao Meimei said, "Mengmeng really likes Xu Meiyuan, and I want to take her to attend the event together."
Shi Yang understood what Zhao Meimei was getting at and said, "During the event, the staff will be backstage, away from the audience."
Zhao Meimei was relieved, laughing, "That’s good, I’ll ask them if they want to come tomorrow."
When Qian Simeng heard Xu Meiyuan would attend the event, she was thrilled, "Of course I want to go! I love her the most, and not just me; my mom loves her too. Meimei, can you help me get her autograph?"
Zhao Meimei agreed immediately, "Sure, I’ll let my brother know."
Zhao Meimei asked Peng Hui, "Are you going?"
Peng Hui hesitated, "We might go on vacation during the break, but how about this, give me a ticket, and I’ll call you if I can make it."
Zhao Meimei nodded, reaching into her backpack to get the tickets for them.
The previously somewhat noisy classroom suddenly became silent for a moment, and then erupted into a more vigorous discussion.
Just as Zhao Meimei was about to take out the tickets, Peng Hui suddenly exclaimed, "Huh? That person looks familiar?"
"Hmm? Who?" Zhao Meimei looked up curiously and saw a young, beautiful female teacher standing on the podium, her long hair tied back, wearing a lotus-colored suit, and a faint smile on her face.
Peng Hui murmured, "It’s the woman you said was trying to steal your man before."
The young female teacher gracefully introduced herself, "Hello, I am your foreign language teacher, Zhang Jiahui. I had some personal matters earlier, and Teacher Wang helped with the classes. From now on, I will be responsible for your foreign language lessons again."
