374 Phone Call

“The evidence is… You can’t possibly know principal Chen Yuan,” Lu Benwei said lightly.

When Qi Fei heard this, he unconsciously furrowed his brows and coldly said, “Words are not proof!”

Lu Benwei raised his eyebrows and stared at Qi Fei. “Is that so? How about this? Since it’s the first day of the new year, why don’t we call Principal Chen Yuan and wish him a Happy New Year?”

Qi Fei suddenly panicked and could not look Lu Benwei in the eye.

“Principal Chen Yuan is very busy every day,” Lu Feifei said, “How can he get through so easily?”

“That’s right. He’s the principal. He’s very busy.” Lu Benwei’s aunt shrieked.

Qi Fei heaved a sigh of relief when he heard this.

“It’s the first day of the New Year today. Principal Chen Yuan needs to accompany his family. It’s impolite for me to call him now.”

Qi Fei rolled his eyes at Lu Benwei.

“Qi Fei, don’t stoop to his level,” Lu Benwei’s aunt said with a smile, “Here, take this money.”

Lu Benwei’s aunt stuffed two bank cards into Qi Fei’s hands. One of them had 200,000 yuan, which was the hard-earned money of Lu Benwei’s grandfather, Lu Linfeng, for half his life.

At that moment, Qi Fei looked at the bank card that was about to be delivered to his hand. He could not help but lick his lips, his eyes filled with joy.

Lu Benwei began to panic. He knew that once the money was in Qi Fei’s hands, they would not be able to contact him after tonight.

At this critical moment, Chu Yan quietly leaned over to Lu Benwei’s ear, “Annoying fellow, I’ve investigated it for you. This Qi Fei is…”

Lu Benwei’s eyes lit up and he turned around. On the other side, his aunt’s face was full of joy as if she could see her son entering the hall of the highest level of education. At the same time, she was about to establish a relationship with the Qi family, the top family in Hai Province.

“Qi Fei, we’ll be a family soon after you take this money,”

“Yes.” Qi Fei smiled faintly.

After that, he clutched the two bank cards tightly, afraid that they would run away.

The aunt’s face was full of pride as she immediately launched an attack on Lu Benwei’s family.

“Dayong, I’ve been looking at you guys for so long, why don’t you guys show some respect? This is such a good opportunity. If we miss it, there won’t be another one.”

Lu Dayong awkwardly grinned and said, “Sister-in-law, what do you mean? I don’t understand.”

Lu Benwei’s aunt rolled her eyes and said, “Isn’t it obvious? Qi Fei is here. Take this opportunity to get a good resource level for Lu Benwei.”

Lu Dayong and Jiang Xiuqin looked at each other. They had already heard about Lu Benwei’s performance in school from Chen Yuan. Moreover, Lu Benwei was the champion of this year’s National Class Tournament, so they did not need to worry about the level of resources.

However, for the sake of their relatives, the two of them had to smile apologetically.

“Lu Benwei has good resources at school, we don’t need to worry about him.”

Lu Benwei’s aunt spat out a mouthful of melon seed skin and said, “Hey, don’t blame me for being straightforward. He’s just a magician, what good resources can he have? Lu Benwei is just a prideful person and doesn’t want to tell you the truth.”

Lu Dayong and Jiang Xiuqin smiled bitterly.

“In my opinion, we should just go along with Sister-in-law,” Jiang Xiuqin said, “Otherwise, who knows when she’ll talk about us again.”

Lu Dayong nodded. “I think that’s fine too. Why don’t we just take out 10,000 yuan as a red packet for Qi Fei and Feifei?”

Lu Dayong raised his head and took out a big red packet from his bag.

“Qi Fei, our first meeting was too sudden. I didn’t have time to prepare. When you and Feifei get married, we’ll make it up to each other.”

Qi Fei received the red packet with both hands. He glanced at the thickness of the red packet and weighed it carefully.

Qi Fei’s brows furrowed when he saw the amount in the red packet. The amount in the red packet did not meet his requirements.

“Thank you, Uncle. I’ll definitely help Lu Benwei get the right resources,” Qi Fei said politely.

Lu Dayong waved his hand. “This is a red packet for you and Feifei. As for Little Lu’s resources, don’t bother!”

“It’s okay, Uncle. We’re a family. Since I can help Feifei get into the school, I can also help Lu Benwei get more resources!” Qi Fei’s smile hid daggers.

It was also at this moment that an inharmonious voice was heard.

“You’re just a sidekick who was chased out of the Qi family for stealing. I’d like to see how you can help me increase my resources.”

It was Lu Benwei.

As soon as he said this, Qi Fei, Lu Feifei, and Lu Benwei’s aunt’s faces changed.

“Lu Benwei, what are you saying?!” Lu Feifei was furious.

“Exactly, how could Qi Fei be a thief?” Lu Benwei’s aunt’s voice suddenly became a little higher, her hands on her waist and her chest puffed out. “I think you’re just jealous!”

Qi Fei was very flustered, but he quickly calmed down after Lu Feifei’s attack.

“Brother Lu Benwei, I didn’t argue with you before, but now you’re calling me a thief!”

After a pause, he said to Lu Benwei’s uncle and aunt, “Uncle, Aunty, I’m sorry to spoil your mood at your family dinner, but Lu Benwei is too much of a bully! Today, I must ask for an apology!”

In the face of Qi Fei’s aggression, Lu Benwei calmly said, “Since you said that you can get Lu Feifei into Zhejiang Hunter University through Principal Chen Yuan’s back door, I’ll call Principal Chen Yuan today to confirm it. How about that?”

As soon as he finished speaking, Qi Fei panicked. The thing he was most afraid of had happened. He could have extorted a sum of money, but when he found out that Lu Benwei was also from Zhejiang Hunter University, it became a bet.

If Lu Benwei knew Chen Yuan, then Qi Fei’s efforts would be in vain. However, Qi Fei was not flustered at all. “Alright, hit me. Otherwise, you have to apologize to me.”

Lu Benwei did not say anything. He decisively pressed the call button and turned on the speaker.

“Ring, ring, ring.”

As time went by, Qi Fei felt like ants were crawling on his internal organs. It was really too torturous!

Lu Feifei’s family did not expect Lu Benwei to know Chen Yuan.

“Lu Benwei, why didn’t you tell me that you knew your principal?” Lu Benwei’s aunt was even more dissatisfied.

“I’m sorry, the number you have dialed is currently busy…”n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

The phone’s speaker responded with a mechanical sound, and the stone hanging in Qi Fei’s heart instantly fell.
