Chapter 77: The Second-Generation Rich Goes Completely Mad! (1/2)

The next morning,

Zhao Qingfeng had just gotten out of bed when he heard Qingfeng’s mother whispering to someone at the door.

The door was open, and a plainly dressed middle-aged man stood outside, gesticulating with his calloused hands. When Zhao Qingfeng appeared, the two immediately stopped talking.

Zhao Qingfeng felt the man looked familiar. Upon closer inspection, he realized the man seemed uneasy and had a shifty gaze.

The man recognized Zhao Qingfeng and grinned, “Little Feng, don’t you remember me? I’m your uncle’s neighbor, your Uncle Qiang. Remember now?”

Zhao Qingfeng suddenly realized.

The man was Sun Wenqiang, around the same age as Feng Biao. He had held Zhao Qingfeng as a child during visits to the countryside. They weren’t relatives, so why was he here?

“Is my uncle back in the countryside?”

After greeting him, Zhao Qingfeng asked Qingfeng’s mother.

“He…”

Qingfeng’s mother hesitated, her expression tense.

She hurried back inside to search for her wallet, took out five hundred yuan, and while putting on her shoes, instructed Zhao Qingfeng, “You go to school quickly. Yaoyao has already gone downstairs. I have something to do and will talk about it tonight.”

After speaking, Qingfeng’s mother and Sun Wenqiang hurriedly left.

Zhao Qingfeng looked out the window and saw Sun Wenqiang riding his uncle’s 125cc motorcycle, speeding away with his mother. She seemed to be crying, muttering something while wiping her tears.

Just then,

Shen Lingyao came to find him.

Her complexion was off, and while waiting for Zhao Qingfeng to eat, she kept nervously glancing towards the door.

“What’s going on? Why the secrecy this early in the morning?”

Zhao Qingfeng quickly ate breakfast and got ready to leave.

Shen Lingyao didn’t move. She looked out the window again and then turned to say, “Let’s jump over the east wall to go to school today.”

Zhao Qingfeng sensed something unusual.

He went to the window and followed Shen Lingyao’s gaze. Outside the door, two or three young men in uniform blue short-sleeves stood in front of a pile of about twenty shoe boxes, seemingly selling something.

Strange.

Selling things at the residential building this early?

No, that’s not it.

Zhao Qingfeng scanned again and spotted another figure standing under the shade of a tree.

Zhang Wuping!

He was holding a bouquet of roses, his gaze searching until it met Zhao Qingfeng’s.

“Damn it…”

Zhao Qingfeng cursed inwardly.

This idiot, chasing someone to their home now, huh?

Failing in secrecy, now opting for a blatant approach!

Thinking that just because he has some money, he can easily win over Shen Lingyao’s heart?

“Let’s go, I want to see what this kid is up to.”

Zhao Qingfeng grabbed Shen Lingyao’s hand and went downstairs without explanation, heading straight for Zhang Wuping.

“Yaoyao!”

Zhang Wuping approached with a beaming face, snobbishly ignoring Zhao Qingfeng and thrusting the roses at Shen Lingyao.

“What are you doing?”

Shen Lingyao didn’t want them, throwing the flowers to the ground.

Zhang Wuping didn’t care about this gesture and snapped his fingers with a smile.

With a snap,

the well-trained store employees immediately dumped the shoe boxes on the ground, opening them to reveal pairs of the latest Xtep shoes in various sizes before Shen Lingyao.

That smell, hard to describe.

Zhang Wuping deliberately pushed Zhao Qingfeng aside and pointed to the women’s new Xtep shoes on the ground, saying to Shen Lingyao, “Yaoyao, these are the latest models. Look at that pink pair, one hundred and eighty! And that green one, fresh, over two hundred! All these are for you. Wear a different pair every day. If it’s not enough, you can get more from my store, as many as you want.”

Shen Lingyao was about to refuse.

Zhang Wuping then took out a newly bought pager, “This is a Big Elite, over three hundred, I’ll give it to you. I’ll page you when I’m free. If you agree to date me, I can even buy you a 3310. You know the 3310, right? Nokia’s new model, really expensive!”

Shen Lingyao was extremely uncomfortable.

She didn’t need anything from Zhang Wuping and tried to leave with Zhao Qingfeng.

Zhao Qingfeng pulled her behind him, squinting at Zhang Wuping, and tauntingly asked, “Zhang Wuping, what’s this? Trying to buy Yaoyao with money? Go back, it’s useless, she doesn’t care about these things.”

A gentleman’s revenge is not too late even after ten years, Zhao Qingfeng remembered well, waiting for an opportunity after the university entrance exam.

Zhang Wuping looked disdainful, not reminiscing the past.

Although they used to get along well, things were different now. In the pursuit of love, they were rivals. When enemies meet, there’s no need for courtesy, and he immediately started belittling Zhao Qingfeng.

“Zhao Qingfeng.”

“Without talking about anything else, let me ask you, what are you worth to talk to me?”
