Chapter 296: Chapter 296 What Do You Need So Much Money For? Chapter 296: Chapter 296 What Do You Need So Much Money For? Luo Mengmeng thought more and more that this idea was really great.

That way, he wouldn’t have to give up a prestigious high school for her, and she wouldn’t have to bear a sense of guilt–it was killing two birds with one stone!

Gu Zhihan pursed his lips, “Do you really want to buy it?”

“Yes!” Luo Mengmeng’s attitude at this moment was just as decisive as his had been before, with every word resounding firmly, “A Middle School is the best high school in our city, with a great learning atmosphere and strong teaching staff. Being able to study there would make us so proud when visiting relatives and friends!”

Actually, what she said was not true.

She just didn’t want him to give up on A Middle School with such good conditions for her sake.

Having grown up with her since childhood, Gu Zhihan could clearly understand her intent. To not let down the girl’s kind heart, he could only sigh softly and nod, “Since you want to buy it, then buy it, just remember to discuss this with your parents.”

“Mhm! My parents will be back from out of town tonight. I’ll tell them about it right away,” Luo Mengmeng said, her eyes brimming with smiles.

Gu Zhihan stroked her head again, his eyes filled with indulgent affection, “Good girl.”

After saying this, he ruffled her hair.

“Stop it! I look like a bird’s nest already!” Luo Mengmeng said with her small face all puffed up.

Gu Zhihan couldn’t help but laugh.

When night fell, Dad Luo and Mom Luo drove back home.

Luo Mengmeng immediately jumped in front of them, eagerly presenting the freshly cut and washed fruit platter, “Dad, Mom, you’ve worked hard. Have some fruit first!”

Mom Luo glanced at the appeasing smile on her face and then at the fruit platter in her hands, and suddenly asked with some uncertainty, “This isn’t poisoned, is it?”

It was no wonder she asked this because she had never seen Luo Mengmeng be so diligent before.

After all, doesn’t the saying go, “Unwarned affability signifies a plotter or a thief”?

Therefore, Mom Luo felt certain that she was brewing a big scheme!

It had to be said, this was quite the occupational hazard.

“Yeah, Mengmeng, although your parents are often too busy with work to pay attention to you, you can’t be poisoning us!” Dad Luo chimed in right after her.

“What are you all imagining?” Luo Mengmeng suddenly had countless lines of frustration across her forehead. She set down the fruit platter and crossed her arms, a look of exasperation on her face, “Forget it, eat it or not, it’s up to you. Actually, there’s something I want to talk to you about!”

Seeing her say this, Mom Luo actually breathed a sigh of relief. While taking off her coat, she sat down on the sofa and started eating the fruit, “I knew it, you troublemaker must be up to something. Out with it, what do you want?”

Luo Mengmeng rubbed her hands together, chuckled, and then said, “Well… I wanted to ask you for some money.”

“How much?” Mom Luo picked up a grape with a toothpick.

“Around fifteen thousand or so,” Luo Mengmeng said with a shy face.

“Cough, cough, cough… What did you say?” Mom Luo was suddenly choked by a grape.

Dad Luo hurried over to pat her on the back, not forgetting to glare at Luo Mengmeng, “Look how you’ve scared your mother!”

Luo Mengmeng touched her nose sheepishly.

Mom Luo had by now managed to swallow the grape stuck in her throat, took a gulp of water, and continued to ask her, “You’re just a kid, what do you need that much money for?”

As she spoke, something seemed to cross her mind and her expression suddenly changed. She pointed at her angrily, “You wouldn’t happen to have gotten involved with unsavory characters, gambling fruit loans, or drug use, would you?”

If it wasn’t for these reasons, why would a middle school student suddenly need so much pocket money?
