Chapter 80: He Likes Older Girls (1/2)

Aunt Ding insisted that Zhao Qingfeng didn’t need to repay the money, no matter what.

She also promised to keep the incident from Feng’s mother as much as possible, or to downplay it if she found out, perhaps saying they compensated only two thousand yuan.

Zhao Qingfeng was stunned, “Aunt Ding, I must repay the debt. This is my responsibility, and I can’t owe you.”

Aunt Ding shook her head with a meaningful smile, “I said forget about it, and that’s final. If you don’t agree, Yaoyao will definitely blame me.”

Zhao Qingfeng then remembered Shen Lingyao’s whisper before she left, “Aunt Ding, what did she say when she left?”

Aunt Ding’s smile grew brighter, “Want to know? Ask her yourself.”

Zhao Qingfeng seemed to understand something as he looked towards the school.

The sunlight was dazzling, and a breeze was blowing, bringing the image of Shen Lingyao’s smiling face to his mind.

What exactly did she say?

Zhao Qingfeng didn’t know.

But he guessed.

It must have been about him.

“Aunt Ding, I definitely need to repay the money, and I’ll pay back more. I remember all your kindness towards me, believe me, I will make it, and I will make you and my mother just as happy.”

Zhao Qingfeng earnestly grasped Aunt Ding’s hand and then turned to go to school.

Whether in his past life or now, Aunt Ding had always been incredibly kind to him, second only to his mother.

He remembered the adage: “When receiving a drop of water in need, repay with a spring of kindness.”

…………………………….

“Damn Brother Qingfeng.”

“This time I’ve totally embarrassed myself in front of Mom!”

“￣へ￣”

“I wonder if Mom will secretly laugh at me after hearing me say ‘I’ll run away from home if you don’t help resolve this’.”

“I’m so mad!”

“I can’t believe I threatened Mom for his sake.”

“I don’t know if Mom can handle it well. Zhang Wuping is so annoying! I, Shen Lingyao, swear I will never wear Xtep shoes in my life!”

The wind outside the classroom window was still gentle.

Shen Lingyao was recording her feelings in her diary, her heart filled with unease.

She had just asked for leave, claiming Zhao Qingfeng’s mother was sick.

Old Yan was worried and said he wanted to visit during the lunch break. If he found out she had lied, it would be terrible.

“Teacher!”

As Shen Lingyao was lost in thought, Zhao Qingfeng suddenly appeared at the door.

Old Yan was surprised, putting down his chalk, “You’re back so soon. Is your mother better?”

Zhao Qingfeng responded quickly, “Yes, she’s better.”

Old Yan nodded and continued explaining the Chinese lesson. As soon as Zhao Qingfeng sat down, Shen Lingyao anxiously passed him a note, “Tell me everything, how did you handle it?”

Zhao Qingfeng recounted the whole incident.

Upon hearing that everything was resolved, Shen Lingyao finally took a deep breath and patted her chest in relief.

But then she thought about the twenty thousand yuan her mother had spent, and her fists clenched again.

If only she had known, why did it have to come to this?

If she had ‘threatened’ her mother sooner, could she have directly gotten a computer for Brother Qingfeng?

But that probably wouldn’t have worked either, as Brother Qingfeng was too proud to accept a direct gift.

She then thought of Old Shen and worried.

This time, losing twenty thousand yuan all at once, her dad would definitely have many complaints. If Brother Qingfeng really doesn’t get into university this time, things would definitely get worse.
