Chapter 99

99 Petty

Qiao Qiao looked at Le Yao.

“I have no problem with that.” Le Yao shrugged.

“Star student Hong, are you alright?” Qian Meiqi looked at Hong Xia again.

“I...” Hong Xia wanted to refuse. After all, she was a commoner child. She needed a gown to attend such a banquet, but she didn’t have one.

“You’ll be graduating on Friday. Just go home two days later.” Qian Meiqi looked at Hong Xia pitifully. “Although I don’t know if I can pass, I’ve been relying on your tutoring these few days. Just treat it as me treating you to a meal.”

“That... Alright then.” Hong Xia finally nodded. She thought to herself that she was going to spend money again. Even if she couldn’t afford a gown, she had to buy a new dress.

After that, Le Yao and Qiao Qiao left the school.

Qiao Qiao was going to the Jiang family’s house, while Le Yao was preparing to go to her adoptive parents’ house for dinner. She rejected Qiao Qiao’s suggestion to send her there and prepared to stroll over. There was a mall on the way, so she could buy some ingredients.

Qiao Qiao didn’t insist. She waved and left.

“Binglan.” However, as soon as Qiao Qiao’s car left, Le Yao was stopped by Han Guosheng.

“CEO Han, what’s the matter?” Le Yao subconsciously took a step back because the other party looked like he wanted to eat her.

“Why is your phone always off when I call you?” Han Guosheng told himself not to be angry, but when he looked at his daughter, he couldn’t help it.

“My cell phone is broken,” Le Yao said perfunctorily.

“Have you finished your exams? How did you do?”

“Pretty good.” Alarm bells rang in Le Yao’s mind. This fellow was not normal. He was actually concerned about her. He must have a motive.

“If it’s broken, quickly change it.”

“I don’t have money,” Le Yao said. “Dad, do you want to give me some? I’m borrowing Qiao Qiao’s phone now.”

Han Guosheng immediately felt his chest tighten. He was angry, but he still had to smile. “If you don’t have enough money, tell Daddy.”

“Alright, I’ll say it now. It’s not enough.”

Han Guosheng felt his chest ache. “Then I’ll transfer it to you.”

“Come, scan my QR code.” Le Yao instantly reached out her phone. “There’s no limit.”

Han Guosheng took a deep breath and transferred 100,000 yuan.

Le Yao pursed her lips. “How stingy.”

“You-”

“Dad, it’s not that I want to criticize you, but look at Qiao Qiao’s father. Every time he gives his daughter money, it’s at least seven figures. Look at you, you’re so petty.” Le Yao curled her lips and shook her head. “But it’s enough to buy a cell phone. I’m leaving.” With that, she turned around and was about to go over.

“Wait.” Han Guosheng waited for Le Yao to walk far away before he remembered why he was here. He was so angry that he was confused.

“Have you found your conscience and want to give me more money?”

“Can you not keep mentioning money?” Han Guosheng was about to lose control. If they weren’t on the road, he would have slapped her twice.

“What else is worth mentioning between us?” Le Yao had a mocking expression.

“Your aunt will come over tomorrow. Come over for a meal.” Han Guosheng closed his eyes and did not argue with this little bastard.

Le Yao frowned. Han Binglan’s mother, Cui Na, was the eldest daughter of the Cui family in Beichuan City. She had a pair of twin siblings, Cui Li and Cui Peng. Her aunt was naturally Cui Li.

Cui Li married into the Zhu family, an old family in Beichuan City.

Wait, the Zhu family? Zhu Yibai? Wasn’t he from Beichuan City? She finally knew why Zhu Yibai looked at her strangely the first time they met.
