Unworthy Rich Girl

After choosing a birthday gift for Wei Rui, it’s almost time for lunch. The Lilith Barbecue in the main store of Starlight Department Store has not fallen out of the top five in the restaurant ranking of City A for so many years. Since they are here, Du YouWei took Zhang ShaoYan to eat barbecue.

The two of them set up a private room, but Gao Ye didn’t go with them. Thinking that she wanted Zhang ShaoYan to talk about Gao Ye’s ex-girlfriend’s gossip later, Du YouWei did not invite him to lunch. The waiter helped them to grill two plates of meat, and then went out first, and when they want more, someone would come to serve them by ringing the bell. Du YouWei first eat a meat into her belly, and then said to Zhang ShaoYan: “Now you can share the story you just made up.”

Zhang ShaoYan laughed and eat the barbecue slowly: “Xie QingYan is Gao Ye’s senior when he studied in college abroad, Gao Ye had liked her since then. Later, when Xie QingYan returned to China, Gao Ye finally decided to chase her. After the two of them dating, I had met Xie QingYan several times…” Zhang ShaoYan said stopped there.

Du YouWei asked: “What then? She falls in love when she sees you?”

“…Almost.”

Du YouWei: “…” What kind of bloody plot is this?

“After I noticed Xie QingYan’s thoughts, I reminded Gao Ye. As for how they dealt with it, I didn’t bother to care.” Zhang ShaoYan spoke very briefly, but the main idea Du YouWei still understood. He just wanted to say that he has nothing to do with Xie QingYan.

“Okay, I see. You had walked with me all morning. You must be hungry. Eat more.” Du YouWei picked up a dish on Zhang Shaoyan’s plate. It was the small spring rolls she ordered. “The small spring rolls here are very good. It’s delicious, you taste it.”

Zhang ShaoYan looked down at the obvious shredded carrots in the small spring rolls and fell silent.

“It’s better to dip in chili and sweet vinegar.” Du YouWei still persuaded him.

Zhang ShaoYan picked up the chopsticks, took a bite of the small spring rolls, and put the rest back on the plate.

Du YouWei looked at his frowning brows and laughed: “You don’t like it?”

Zhang ShaoYan wiped the corners of his mouth with a tissue and said to her: “You eat it.”

Du YouWei laughed again, and she eat a small spring rolls: “I told you that carrots have many benefits for the body.”

“Then you eat more.”

“If I eat two, you eat one?”

“…” This conversation sounds familiar.

In the afternoon, Zhang ShaoYan has an appointment, so he did not continue shopping with Du YouWei. He took shopping bags and Du YouWei back home together.

After arriving home, Du YouWei leaned on the sofa and called Wei Rui: “Rui, you haven’t told me everything about you and Gao Ye that day?”

Wei Rui said “Uh”, hesitatingly said: “Yes?”

Du YouWei chuckled: “Don’t bother! I already heard all of it!”

Wei Rui suddenly became a little angry: “Is Gao Ye’s mouth really loose? Even if I helped him by pretending his girlfriend?”

Du YouWei surprised for a moment, narrowing her eyes:” What, you pretend to be his girlfriend?”

Wei Rui: “…” Why she even mentioned this?

“Wei Rui, you better honestly confess, how many things have you concealed from me? You’re pretending to be the girlfriend of Assistant Gao, there must be a secret behind this!”

Wei Rui twitched her mouth and said to her, “What do you mean? A secret? I did that just because that QingYan is too arrogant. So, what secret are you talking about?”

“Xie QingYan liked Zhang ShaoYan.”

Wei Rui: “…”

She kindly helped Qi Ye conceal this matter. But Qi Ye actually confessed himself?

Qi Ye is indeed a real man.

Their phone call lasted for more than half an hour, and Zhang ShaoYan had returned to the company. He had a meeting in the afternoon. After the meeting, Secretary Hu reported to him: “Boss, Zhang JinYue is here, waiting for you in the reception room.”

“Okay.” Zhang ShaoYan responded and walked towards the reception room.

Zhang JinYue is Zhang Shaoyan’s second sister and the sister of Zhang ShaoShang, his first elder brother.

Although she is a member of the Zhang family, she never asked about the Zhang family’s business, and rarely even returned to the Zhang family. She is studying oil painting, and she has been painting and holding painting exhibitions abroad all the year round. It can be considered that she is the happiest member of Zhang’s family.

So, she went to the company to find Zhang ShaoYan today, which is very abnormal.

When Zhang ShaoYan arrived in the reception room, Zhang JinYue was sitting on the sofa drinking tea. She wore a well-fitting cheongsam, and her well-maintained face did not leave many traces of age.

“Er Jie [1], have you waited for a long time?” Zhang ShaoYan opened the door and walked in and sat down on the sofa opposite her.

[1] 二姐/ Er Jie – Second Older Sister.

Zhang JinYue smiled at him and shook her head: “No, I’m sorry if I had interrupted Qi Di’s work.”

Zhang ShaoYan has always disliked meaningless greetings, and cut directly into the subject: “Er Jie came to see me today, what’s the matter?”

Zhang JinYue seemed to be having difficult to speak, and after hesitating for a while, she smiled and said to him: “That’s it. Recently, I wanted to start a company with a friend, but I don’t really understand this, so I came to ask you.”

Zhang ShaoYan said: “If Er Jie wants to do business, you can return to Zhang’s family at any time.”

Zhang JinYue smiled and said: “Qi Di is joking. Our Zhang family had no use of me. I only could make a small deal.”

For a moment, Zhang ShaoYan mused, and whispered: “Er Jie, you’re not the one who wants to start the company, but Da Ge[2], right?”

[2] 大哥/ dà gē – eldest brother

Zhang JinYue take a sip of her tea and did not answer. She had said long ago that Qi Di is smart, they cannot hide anything from him.

“Er Jie, you are the person who dislikes commitment the most. How come you are suddenly interested in starting a company. After thinking about it, you can be a lobbyist for your elder brother.” Zhang ShaoShang had made small moves outside, and Zhang ShaoYan had known it for a long time. But he didn’t expect that he would invite Zhang JinYue to come forward.

Zhang JinYue has a perverse personality since she was a child. No matter whether she is studying or working, she does not follow Zhang MingHe’s heart. She does not like commitment very much, and that is why she has not been married until now, and she has not given birth to any children-but she still has boyfriends, and they are getting younger and younger.

Zhang ShaoShang is her own brother, and both of them were born by Zhang MingHe’s first wife. Zhang ShaoYan can actually understand why Zhang ShaoShang wants to go out alone, because his current position in the Zhang family is very awkward.

Zhang MingHe has seven children, four of which were born from the second wife, and three of these four are sons. Although everyone is Zhang MingHe’s son, but they are brothers of the same father and mother, and they are naturally separated from Zhang ShaoShang by one layer. Although Zhang ShaoShang is the eldest son, he is the weakest in the Zhang family.

Zhang ShaoYan, who was supposed to be even weaker than him, has now become the head of the Zhang family. 

Zhang ShaoYan, the devil, just ignored it. In short, Zhang ShaoShang is the most anxious person in Zhang’s house. Since he could not make a name for himself in Zhang’s family, he wanted to go out and do it himself.

“Qi Di, I believe your Da Ge’s situation, you know better than me. If it is not really difficult, I will not come out to help him.”

Zhang ShaoYan said: “Er Jie, Da Ge’s situation is not that difficult, he just thinks too much.”

In any case, he is Zhang MingHe’s eldest son, and he always has his share of the company’s shares. He is just not satisfied with what he already has.

Zhang JinYue was silent for a moment, and said, “Qi Di, that’s what I said, but how many people can be not greedy at all? Your Da Ge just wants to go out and start a company by himself and doesn’t want to take Zhang’s anymore. It is just that the funds are not enough, so I hope you can invest a little money.”

Zhang ShaoYan did not answer immediately. He considered for a while and said to Zhang JinYue: “Er Jie, investment is not a small matter. I need to do a market evaluation first.”

Although the result was not very satisfying, but Zhang ShaoYan didn’t say no, there is still room for reversal: “Okay, we will wait for your news.”

“I’ll let Secretary Hu send you out.”

“No need, I can go back by myself. “Zhang JinYue stood up and said goodbye to Zhang ShaoYan.

———————————————————

The second day was when Du YouWei officially started class.

There are already very few classes in the senior year, but credits are still required. In addition, this is the first class of the new semester, so the students come diligently. Pan Jing also came today. Du YouWei was actually very curious. Zhang ShengZe still stayed in Africa and did not come back. Will she go to Africa for an internship next semester?

Pan Jing seemed to be very curious about her too. During the break between classes, she came up to talk to her again: “YouWei, I heard that you did a good job in the make-up exam. Congratulations.”

“Thank you.” Du YouWei’s face put on a business smile. She used to be at school, and her good friend was Sun XiaoXiao. Now that Sun XiaoXiao is gone, she is alone, even Pan Jing has to come over and talk to her.

“It seems that Qi Ye’s tuition is very effective.” Pan Jing said with a smile.

Du YouWei startled, and after walking around for a long time, she actually wanted to inquire about her and Zhang ShaoYan? “By the way, Zhang ShengZe went abroad, right? You have to take a time to visit him. He must be lonely over there alone.” Pan Jing was quiet, then smiled and nodded to Du YouWei: “Okay.”

Du YouWei probably made this move too fiercely, and Pan Jing didn’t look for her anymore after school. Du YouWei walked out of the building by herself and found many students not far away.

She walked up curiously and looked. It turned out that Gu Shi and his group were still shooting here today. And these girls freaked out when they came to visit!

“How come we haven’t heard of this boy group before?”

“Who knows, but the guy named Gu Shi is so handsome. Before he is taken, we should hurry up.”

“Speaking of Gu Shi, where did he go? Why haven’t he come back for a long time?”

“He just finished the filming, so he should have gone to the classroom to rest. How about we go to the classroom to find him?” The two girls looked at each other and smiled, secretly went to the classroom. Du YouWei followed them.

Unexpectedly, the staff were still guarding outside the classroom that was temporarily requisitioned, and seeing students sneaking over, they stopped them. Du YouWei, who was hiding behind them, was not found. She ran over quickly while they were not paying attention.

She stopped awkwardly when she ran to the door of the classroom. What did she sneak in for?

She lingers at the door and was about to leave when she heard voice talking inside.

“How did your injury come from? Did Fang Zhou, that scumbag hit you again?” Du YouWei paused, and the voice seemed to be Gu Shi’s.

The voice that followed immediately confirmed her guess: “No, Gu Shi, you are wrong.”

“I was wrong? Then take your clothes off and show me.”

“Gu Shi, I am wrong. It’s okay.”

The two insides were still arguing, and suddenly there’s someone from outside shouted, and the book in Du YouWei’s hand almost fell to the ground: “Who are you? This is our artist rest area. Non-staff are not allowed to come in!”

“Yes, I’m sorry, I’ll leave right away.” Just as Du YouWei was about to walk away, the classroom door in front of her opened.

Gu Shi walked out of it, and a flash of surprise flashed in his eyes: “It’s you again?”

Du YouWei: “…” Is she going to be treated as a criminal??
