Chapter 661: Chapter 661: Catching Red-Handed

Later, the three people in the dormitory discussed it together.

Yue Qingqing asked Lu Zhu, “Aren’t you resentful?”

Only having the other person return the money without any other punishment.

Lu Zhu was nonchalant, “But this is already a relatively good outcome.”

In fact, Lu Zhu herself knew all too well that even if there was an investigation into the matter, it wouldn’t yield much.

Firstly, too much time had passed, and secondly, just as Old Lady Lu often mentioned.

The one who died was her son after all, and she belonged to the family of a martyr.

In many people’s eyes, there was nothing wrong with the money being in her hands.

If it wasn’t for Lu Shao caring about face and worrying that if this matter were discovered it would damage his reputation, other thicker-skinned families might not even return the money.

At most, they would be scolded after being exposed.

Qu Ruorui clenched her fists in a cheering gesture, “It’s okay, as long as our days get better and better, that will be the best revenge against those people.”

Just like her cheap dad, who used to favor sons over daughters and watched as the cheap grandmother bullied her mom, but in recent years, he couldn’t even find a wife.

Rumor has it that after being laid off, he hid at home drinking in misery.

Her mom, on the other hand, bought a big house and every holiday she and her daughter would travel together, vowing to visit the entire China.

After the girls exchanged a few words, Lu Zhu picked up her book, “Alright, let’s study, the midterms are coming up.”

Yue Qingqing and Qu Ruorui also hurriedly started reading.

As students, nothing is more important than studying.

The dormitory quickly became silent, the only sound was the scratching of pen on paper.

But compared to before, everything was obviously different.

The silent dormitory used to be dead quiet.

Now, everyone was focused, each person striving for a better tomorrow.

Due to the recent series of events, the three people’s attention had inevitably been distracted.

When exchanging test papers, Zhuang Lan was serious.

“What’s the matter with you lately? Some of the simple questions are wrong.”

The girls looked at each other, feeling a bit like underachievers facing a top student.

Zhuang Lan earnestly said, “So I’ve prepared two additional sets of papers recently, make sure you do them seriously when you go back.”

Qu Ruorui said softly, “Is it not good enough for you to be number one, why help the enemy?”

Zhuang Lan’s face stiffened, “I don’t want that kind of first place, It’s a hollow victory.”

Yue Qingqing was impressed, the guy had some real spirit.

To maintain her long-standing top position, Yue Qingqing plunged back into the sea of studying tirelessly.

When she talked with Jiang Jingze over the phone on the weekend, he clearly sensed her lack of energy.

“How late have you been studying recently?”

Yue Qingqing thought for a moment, “Eleven or twelve o’clock?”

She too had been hiding under her covers reading books lately, often falling asleep unknowingly late at night, waking up in the morning with her wrist sore and numb from being against the flashlight.

Jiang Jingze disapproved, “You have to get enough rest.”

Yue Qingqing: “I know.”

Jiang Jingze: “Are you just humoring me with an indifferent face right now?”

Yue Qingqing: “No, not at all…”

Jiang Jingze: “Turn around.”

Yue Qingqing, standing at the campus supermarket on the phone, turned her head and saw Jiang Jingze holding his phone at the doorway, raising his eyebrows at her.

The man stood at the doorway, autumn sun bathing him as if he was glowing brilliantly, and passersby, regardless of gender, couldn’t help but stare at him.

Uh oh, busted.

Feeling a bit guilty, Yue Qingqing watched Jiang Jingze stride toward her and spoke frantically into the phone.

“I, I have to hang up now, someone’s come to catch me.”

Jiang Jingze: “???”

Yue Qingqing turned to run, but Jiang Jingze caught her by the back of her collar.

“Why’s your face red?”

Yue Qingqing: “I’m brimming with energy!”

Jiang Jingze: “…”

After not seeing him for a while, he felt that someone had become cheekier than ever.
