Chapter 572: Chapter 572

Aside from transferring schools, Pu Sangzhi couldn’t think of any other better way to support the continuation of life for her and her mother.

So much money, she and her mother could not repay it.

The reason those in debt acted so outrageously was because they knew that even if Pu Sangzhi and her mother didn’t have money, their relatives did.

Chen Huifen’s relatives on her maternal side did indeed include very rich families, like her Aunt Chen Feng, who was successful in business and had a wealthy foundation, with an annual income of millions...

The debtors wanted to drive them to a dead end, scheming to push Pu Sangzhi and her mother to such extremes, in hopes that those relatives would not stand idly by and would ultimately pay to help them with their debts.

But all of that belonged to others.

Relatives can be close, but not when it comes to money. Even blood brothers must settle accounts clearly, not to mention such a distant kinship...

Pu Sangzhi and her mother were aware of the stakes involved and knew deeply that after their relatives had pooled together over 400,000 to help them, they would no longer protect Pu Sangzhi and her mother.

Therefore, at this point, they could only protect themselves; they could only think of ways to save themselves.

Going back to school was definitely out of the question...

Even if it was possible, Pu Sangzhi had no face to return.

She and Chen Huifen had discussed it for a long time and had analyzed a lot...

The students and teachers at Longxiang School were all so good, yet a single incident had implicated everyone.

Pu Sangzhi considered herself a harbinger of disasters and knew she should not bring such trouble to the school again.

Yet she couldn’t figure out a way to pay the debts. For now, the only solution to her numerous problems was to transfer schools.

Only if she transferred would the matter slowly fade away in the school.

The school could regain its peace, and neither the teachers nor the students would be involved anymore; she could also continue her studies and keep hiding.

But she would lose everything she currently had.

The teachers, classmates, sisters, and Huo Feng...

At 11 p.m., the main light in the room was off, leaving only a warm yellow desk lamp shining in the vast space.

The faint light illuminated Pu Sangzhi’s delicate features as she buried her head over the desk, persistently writing with a sign pen ’swish swish’...

She was preparing to write a letter to Huo Feng.

Because she could feel that she might not have the chance to see Huo Feng again in the future.

She had thought that she could go to Hangzhou with him over the weekend, had the chance to see him, and could continue their journey.

But after things had escalated to this point, she wouldn’t be going on the Hangzhou trip anymore this weekend.

Going would be futile because she was already preparing to transfer schools.

If she went, she didn’t even know how to face Huo Feng, and she was afraid that seeing his face would make her emotionally upset and a complete mess.

While writing the letter, facing the long page of white paper, Pu Sangzhi had an unstoppable flow of words that were surprisingly easy to express, word by word...

The things she couldn’t say in front of Huo Feng, those words in the face of the white paper, in the face of the impending farewell, flowed like an endless stream...

As she wrote, it didn’t take more than ten minutes to fill an entire page...

Looking at the full page of meticulously arranged, heartfelt text, Pu Sangzhi’s mouth curled into a bitter smile, and she couldn’t help but let out a sigh, "I actually have so much to say..."

She had never imagined she had so much to say to Huo Feng.

So much that she wanted to tell Huo Feng...

It seems that she hadn’t spoken enough to Huo Feng in the past, right?

She probably never opened her heart to him or shared her thoughts with him...

That’s why, when it came time to truly speak from the heart, she realized that there was so much she wanted to say; a single page was just a beginning.

Lowering her eyes, Pu Sangzhi’s glossy pupils focused on every word she had written, truly heartfelt, with not a trace of falsehood or concealment.

The very first paragraph straightforwardly unveiled her feelings.

’Dear Huo Feng:By the time you read this letter, I should be gone. I had thought we would spend three years together and walk towards the future side by side. But as fate would have it, I can’t defy destiny and am walking towards a dead end, where I should part with you. With this parting, our bond will also come to an end...’

She flipped through the farewell letter at a leisurely pace.

These heart-spilling sweet nothings were cloyingly nauseating to read, yet somehow they managed to bring a tinge of red to her eyes.

Pu Sangzhi turned the page, lowered her head, and was about to write the second page when, quite coincidentally, Huo Feng called her...

Spying Huo Feng’s incoming call on the mobile screen, Pu Sangzhi’s hand reached out but then paused mid-air, hesitating for a long while...

After much hesitation, she finally answered the call.

Originally, she didn’t dare to answer the phone...

Because her emotions were in turmoil, she didn’t know what attitude to adopt in facing him?

She also feared that hearing his voice and thinking of their impending separation would be too much for her heart to bear...

But in the end, she answered the call as if compelled by some demon, unable to betray her heart and let the call disconnect, ignoring Huo Feng’s attempt to reach her.

Anyway, she was about to leave.

Just treat it as the last time...

The last time to talk to him on the phone, listen to his voice.

"Hi, beautiful. Good evening!"

As soon as the call connected, Huo Feng’s casual greeting came from the other end.

His tone was still so lively, imbued with that unique flavor belonging only to Huo Feng...

Just hearing his voice, Pu Sangzhi unconsciously curved her lips into a faint smile, "Good evening."

"How can you be so calm? Haven’t seen me all day and you don’t miss me? Can’t you be a little excited?"

Huo Feng’s voice remained as flippant as ever, deceiving and leading her on in his usual unserious manner.

Pu Sangzhi usually disliked his frivolous demeanor, but now, she found him good in every way, liking everything he said.

She pursed her lips, thought for a long while before speaking, "How’s our homeroom teacher doing? Is he all right? Is he hurt?"

Huo Feng raised his eyebrows, "How did you know?"

That evening, the incident of Huo Mingshan being bullied by those thugs had spread among all present at the scene, and everyone agreed they must not let Pu Sangzhi find out.

Huo Feng couldn’t understand how she came to know about the incident.

It wasn’t good for her to know about such things...

Pu Sangzhi naturally didn’t tell Huo Feng that the principal, Mr. Han, had told her. She only asked him, "You were there, can you tell me how our homeroom teacher is doing now? Is he injured? How serious is it? And... is his mood okay?"

Huo Feng said with a raised eyebrow, "He just took a couple of falls, nothing worth mentioning. You needn’t worry about him; he’s totally fine. What about you? How are you? Isn’t it lonely being home alone?"

Pu Sangzhi spoke softly with her head lowered, "I’m very well, it’s you guys who are not. It’s me who has dragged you down..."

Huo Feng had guessed she would feel this way and he sighed, "I don’t know who blabbed about this to you. Let me tell you, although the situation arose abruptly, it was handled exceptionally well! No issues, nobody got hurt, it’s just our homeroom teacher was slightly embarrassed! That’s not a big deal either! Plus, those guys have been locked up in the police station, at least for 48 hours. These two days will be very safe, you can rest assured of that!"

Reassured by his words, Pu Sangzhi finally felt a bit relieved, "If that’s the case, then good. Thank you..."

"I knew you would be so polite!"

Huo Feng swung his hand dismissively on the other end of the phone, "It’s a small matter, no need to keep saying thanks. Don’t be afraid, I’ve already thought of a way to deal with those people. After 48 hours, I’m going to have grandpa bring a group of guys to corner them and beat them up nicely in some corner! That’ll teach them a good lesson! My grandpa deals with the underworld more than I do, giving someone a beating is nothing to him! The focus is to scare those guys! As long as we drive them out of our area, you’ll be safe. I reckon it won’t take long for you to return to school. Two weeks, at most two weeks! You’ll be able to come back to class with peace of mind in two weeks!"

Pu Sangzhi listened quietly to his plan, juvenile as it was, she could feel his earnestness. For origınal chapters go to 𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹✦𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖✦𝓷𝓮𝓽

Her dark eyes gleamed with moisture as her emotions rose, "Thank you."

"Why are you still saying thanks?"

Huo Feng disliked hearing her talk , "Don’t say that word to me again. I’ll get angry if you say it one more time!"

"Don’t worry! I will definitely protect you! I’ve already thought of a foolproof strategy to deal with those scoundrels! They’re all petty people! Very simple!" Huo Feng declared confidently with a laugh.
