"Mr. Wang, he... I... you..."
Seeing the jade token, a trace of panic flashed in Zheng Lin's eyes. She wanted to explain, but looking at the token, she didn't know how to.
Was her plan over before it even began? She was unwilling!
Zheng Lin glared fiercely at the bodyguard. His fist was clenched, his eyes full of rage!
"That's enough. Everything you've done is useless. Get lost."
Seeing Zheng Lin about to speak, Er Zhu waved his hand impatiently and walked into the house.
He had been out for quite some time and didn't want to be seen by Li Mei, nor did he want Zheng Lin to see her!
It wasn't that he was afraid Zheng Lin would harm Li Mei, but rather he felt that someone like Zheng Lin didn't deserve to see Li Mei!
Staring at Er Zhu's departing back, Zheng Lin really wanted to call out to him, but thinking of Er Zhu's status, she didn't dare.
After all, all of the Zheng family's businesses were now in this kid's hands. If she really angered him, she wouldn't fare well either.
"I'm sorry, Miss, I..."
*Slap!*
Seeing Er Zhu leave, the bodyguard immediately ran over to apologize, but before he could finish, he received a loud slap from Zheng Lin.
"Ah Cheng, drag him out and have him beheaded!"
Zheng Lin didn't even look at the bodyguard. Her gaze swept over a bodyguard behind her, and after dropping this sentence, she swept away.
Her meticulously planned operation had been seen through before it even began, and someone had to be responsible!
From then on, Zheng Lin never appeared before Er Zhu again, nor did she return to Hua Bei City.
No one knew where she went, and everyone in the Zheng family felt uneasy. Only Er Zhu was unfazed.
Because only he knew that Zheng Lin was still in Liu Town!
He didn't know what she was doing, or rather, he didn't care what Zheng Lin was doing.
One day, after breakfast, Er Zhu was about to head into town when he saw Li Mei shyly following him.
"Er Zhu, today is the day I report to school. Can you accompany me?"
Li Mei, clutching the enrollment brochure that was already almost torn to shreds, tentatively asked.
"Alright, I'll go and see which school you're attending."
Er Zhu smiled slightly, and as he spoke, he took Li Mei towards the car.
In the car, Li Mei excitedly told Er Zhu many things, and Er Zhu then learned that Li Mei was going to a key financial university in Liu Town.
This university was a private institution with excellent faculty, and its students were all either wealthy or noble!
"Er Zhu, take good care of yourself from now on. Call me immediately if anything happens."
Looking at the school she had always dreamed of, Li Mei's eyes gleamed. But when she looked at Er Zhu before her, she was still a little worried.
After she left, Er Zhu would be all alone at home. She didn't know if he could take care of himself.
After all, this was the first time she had ever left Er Zhu!
"Alright, Mei Jie, don't worry about me. I'm all grown up. I can definitely take care of myself. Just focus on your studies."
Seeing Li Mei's furrowed brow, Er Zhu gently patted her shoulder to comfort her. Seeing Er Zhu's smiling face, Li Mei stopped fussing.
"Hey, are your eyes for breathing? You bumped into me, do you know that?"
As Li Mei turned, she felt herself bump into a mass of flesh. She looked up and saw a plump, fair-skinned woman berating her aggressively.
"I'm sorry, I was too nervous." Seeing the woman's luxurious attire, Li Mei nodded repeatedly and apologized.
She knew Er Zhu was wealthy, but she felt that Er Zhu's money was just a drop in the ocean compared to these influential families.
Moreover, she didn't want others to know about her relationship with Er Zhu.
It wasn't out of fear, but rather she was afraid of affecting Er Zhu.
In fact, the reason she was going to school, while ostensibly for herself, was also to be a match for Er Zhu.
As Er Zhu's business continued to expand, the gap between them grew larger. Therefore, she knew very well that even if Er Zhu truly liked her, they wouldn't end up together.
Because a wealthy magnate would never marry a village widow!
In order to be able to be with Er Zhu honorably in the future, she chose to go to school and improve herself!
She had never mentioned these things to anyone, thinking that no one knew. Little did she know, Er Zhu had seen through it all.
It was just that since she never spoke of it, Er Zhu didn't want to expose her.
"Heh, where did you country bumpkins come from? Get lost. Seeing you makes me sick!"
As the woman was about to leave, she suddenly noticed Li Mei's ordinary clothes. She covered her nose and mouth, pushed Li Mei with disgust.
Her father said this was a high-class academy. How could there be country people in such a high-class place!
The plump woman rolled her eyes in anger. If it weren't for the exorbitant tuition fees, she would have turned and left long ago!
"Why are you pushing me? Apologize to me!" Li Mei stumbled, almost falling. She frowned slightly and stood up to confront the woman.
She had a good temper, but that didn't mean she was easy to bully. Even if this woman was a rich girl, rich girls couldn't look down on people!
"Apologize to you? Are you worthy? We have several shops in this town. What do you have?"
Seeing Li Mei actually chase after her, the woman sneered. As she spoke, she was about to push her again, but at that moment, a man suddenly stepped in front of Li Mei.
This man was none other than Er Zhu. Er Zhu had intended to leave, but he hadn't expected this woman to become increasingly presumptuous!
Although Mei Jie was from the countryside, it was impossible for these city people to bully her!
"Handsome, are you sure you want to save her? I, Zhao Na, am a well-known rich woman in this town, and I have a sister who works at the police station!"
Seeing Er Zhu, Zhao Na initially wanted to drive him away. But upon seeing Er Zhu's handsome face, Zhao Na changed her mind.
Now, she was already thirty years old but still without a boyfriend. Her family had been urging her lately. This young man was good-looking and had a great physique; he was her type!
The more Zhao Na looked at Er Zhu, the more she liked him. She slowly walked forward and, in broad daylight, intended to flirt with Er Zhu.
Er Zhu naturally guessed her intentions. He frowned, a hint of disgust flashing in his eyes.
This woman, as fat as a sow, actually wanted to have him. What a pipe dream!
"Er Zhu, hurry and leave. I just started school, don't make a big scene out of this."
Hearing Zhao Na's words, and seeing the crowd of onlookers, Li Mei tugged at Er Zhu's sleeve and whispered a reminder.
This incident was, in essence, a minor one. Even if the other party didn't apologize, it wouldn't matter. She had just enrolled and didn't want to become a topic of discussion.
If it were just her, it would be fine. But if students dug up all her information, Er Zhu would also be affected!
Thinking of Er Zhu, Li Mei suppressed the anger in her heart and tightened her grip on Er Zhu's sleeve.
