Although Chu Huaijin didn’t quite know what his two younger brothers were planning, he didn’t ask too much and agreed readily.
He always pursued high efficiency in doing things, so the next morning, Ling Haoyue changed schools as he wished.
Avonsell Private Middle School is an international school. Except for Chinese, all subjects are taught in English. Famous teachers from home and abroad jointly teach. The school is divided into the International Department, the Arts and Sports Department, and the Talent Department.
As the name suggests, the students in the International Department are all preparing to study abroad, the Arts and Sports Department is dedicated to training arts and sports students, and the Talent Department is connected to the domestic college entrance examination.
Among them, the competition class of the Talent Department can get a lot of university admission quotas every year, and the ordinary class is a place for students who have no hope of competing to rush for the college entrance examination.
Ling Haoyue is a borrowed student, has no competition background, and has not studied art and sports, so he entered the ordinary class of the Talent Department.
He was led to the new class by the teacher, and he recited the self-introduction script that he had prepared all night on the podium very fluently, and then received a warm applause.
Ling Haoyue was very happy, thinking that everyone liked him very much.
Although he didn’t understand most of the teacher’s English lectures, which made him feel frustrated that he was stupid, but after class, many classmates came to talk to him on their own initiative. Knowing that his English was not very good, they also said that they could help him and asked him to ask them questions at any time.
Ling Haoyue finally regained the feeling of being held in high esteem.
At first, he still retained some vigilance, but the classmates in the aristocratic school were so polite and enthusiastic.
Surrounded by these proud children who he could only look up to, Ling Haoyue couldn’t help but feel a little flattered.
When asked about his relationship with the Chu family, Ling Haoyue became a little more sober.
He lied calmly and said that he was Lin Qingluo’s nephew.
Someone was puzzled: “Why haven’t I heard of it before?”
Ling Haoyue made up for it: “My mother and Aunt Lin are cousins. They live far away and don’t interact much.”
“Then why did you suddenly move to the Chu family?” another classmate asked.
Ling Haoyue continued to lie: “Uncle Chu and Aunt Lin invited me here. They said that the educational resources here are better, and suggested that I come here to study for a year before going back to take the college entrance examination.”
“So that’s how it is. Uncle and Aunt Lin really took a lot of trouble.” Someone sighed.
Ling Haoyue smiled and said, “Yes, they are very nice to me, and I am very grateful to them.”
Someone followed up his words and asked, “How is your relationship with the two sons of the Chu family? Do your two cousins usually take you out to play?”
Ling Haoyue’s face was a little stiff, but he quickly adjusted.
“Brother Ling Yu is very nice to me! It was he who suggested that I come to this school. As for Brother He Yan, he doesn’t seem to like me very much.”
He made a disappointed expression, but found that everyone was quiet after he finished speaking.
Ling Haoyue felt a little strange, raised his head and carefully observed around, and found that everyone’s expressions were difficult for him to understand.
“What’s wrong? Did I say something wrong?” Ling Haoyue looked innocent, “Sorry, I didn’t mean to say bad things about Brother He Yan, I just…”
“It’s okay, don’t be nervous, everyone is just asking casually.” Someone comforted him.
Others also echoed, with smiles on their faces, not looking angry.
Ling Haoyue’s heart was put back. He almost forgot that Chu He Yan just graduated from this school this year and was admitted to Beijing University with great fanfare.
Now, all the students in the class should call Chu Heyan “senior”.
He thought these people wanted to protect Chu Heyan, but now it seems that Chu Heyan’s popularity in school is just so-so.
Ling Haoyue thought with disdain.
He was getting along well in school, and felt that his classmates were easy to get along with. Even if some people were not very enthusiastic about him, they were polite enough.
This gave him more confidence, and his social media accounts were updated more and more frequently.
The life sharing of the aristocratic school and some photos he secretly took at the Chu family brought him a lot of attention. The background information of the account continued to surge, and some people even contacted him to ask if he would accept advertisements.
Ling Haoyue looked down on that little money and felt that accepting those low-end small advertisements would lower his status.
After all, a real rich man would not accept those small advertisements on the Internet that were not presentable.
He did not want to destroy his image as a rich kid that he had finally established, so he rejected all businesses that wanted to contact him.
The school did not force him to attend evening self-study classes. A classmate invited him to go out after school, and Ling Haoyue went happily.
Although it was his first time to try out those entertainment activities that only rich kids could afford, he was not afraid of the stage. He always pretended to be experienced but not good at it.
These young masters really loved to play, and they changed several venues in one night.
Ling Haoyue was on edge the whole time, and was exhausted physically and mentally by the end.
When the show was over, the leading young master hooked his neck and asked, “Ahao, did you have fun today?”
Ling Haoyue smiled and said, “Happy! Thank you for taking me to play.”
“As long as you have fun.” Jiang Yuan was also smiling, his arm still on his shoulders, and he even reached out to pinch him.
Ling Haoyue’s body froze, but he quickly concealed the momentary stiffness and said as naturally as possible: “Brother Jiang, it’s getting late, I have to go back, otherwise my uncle, aunt and my cousin will be worried.”
Jiang Yuan curled his lips, and his tone was somewhat intriguing: “Really? Okay, then I’ll take you?”
Ling Haoyue: “No need, Brother Jiang, I’ll ask the driver at home to pick me up.”
He said goodbye to everyone and was about to leave when Jiang Yuan suddenly called him: “Ah Hao, wait a minute.”
Ling Haoyue turned around and asked: “What’s wrong, Brother Jiang?”
Jiang Yuan was holding a cigarette, and the boy next to him lit it for him with a tactful look.
He squinted his eyes and took a puff, approached Ling Haoyue, and blew a smoke ring in his face.
Ling Haoyue coughed because of the choking. Jiang Yuan patted his face and asked with a smile: “Since you have a lot of fun today, how about calling your cousin out to play together next time?”
Ling Haoyue barely stopped coughing, feeling that the current Jiang Yuan was very different from the one he had seen in school before.
He took a half step back cautiously, and then asked: “Brother Jiang, which cousin of mine do you want to call out?”
Jiang Yuan: “It depends on you, both of them are fine.”
Ling Haoyue tried to make an excuse: “They just started school recently, and they have companies to manage. They are usually very busy and may not have time.”
“They may not have time?”
Jiang Yuan took another puff of his cigarette, holding the cigarette holder between two fingers, and slowly approached Ling Haoyue: “Ah Hao, don’t you want to give me face?”
Someone next to him said, “Ah Hao, the money you spent today is all on Brother Jiang’s account. So, you call your cousin over and settle the account, and we will let you go, how about it?”
Ling Haoyue asked with some weakness: “How much?”
The man sneered, “Not much, the bottle of Dalmore Scotch Whisky you opened today is about 300,000 dollars.”
As if he was afraid that Ling Haoyue couldn’t calculate it clearly, he explained again: “Equivalent to more than 2 million RMB, just an ordinary sports car. As for the others, wait until your cousin comes over and we will slowly calculate it clearly.”
More than 2 million?
How can there be such expensive wine?
Ling Haoyue was really scared this time. Their school district house was not worth this price.
Seeing his pale face, Jiang Yuan smiled again, with a hint of sarcasm in his smile: “Either call your cousin now and ask him to come over to settle the bill for you, or give me a favor and help me arrange an appointment with someone, Ah Hao, choose one.”
Ling Haoyue certainly didn’t dare to call Chu Lingyu now, otherwise if the other members of the Chu family knew about it, they would definitely kick him out.
He swallowed his saliva and nodded with a pale face: “Brother Jiang, what are you talking about? How could I not give you a favor? I will go home and ask my brother when he is free, and I will definitely bring him out.”
He had no choice but to ask Chu Heyan, but if he went to beg Chu Lingyu, his brother would definitely agree to him.
Jiang Yuan was finally satisfied after hearing what he said, put out the cigarette, stretched out his hand and pinched his face, “That’s good, go back.”
Chu Lingyu has been very busy recently. After school starts, he not only has to go to class, but also has a lot of messy chores. The company can’t just leave everything to Chu Heyan, so he and Chu Heyan go out early and come back late almost every day.
After throwing Ling Haoyue to the new school, he didn’t care about it until that night when he went back with Chu Heyan and saw Ling Haoyue waiting for him in the living room.
Chu Lingyu asked directly: “What’s the matter?”
Ling Haoyue prepared a lot of opening remarks but none of them came in handy, so he had to ask tentatively: “Brother, are you busy recently?”
Chu Lingyu: “Busy, if nothing, we’ll go upstairs first.”
Ling Haoyue hurriedly called him: “Brother, wait a minute, I have something to talk to you alone.”
Chu Heyan glanced at Chu Lingyu: “Then I’ll go upstairs first?”
Chu Lingyu nodded, sat down on the sofa and asked: “What’s the matter?”
Ling Haoyue reorganized his words: “Brother, this is it, I met a few new friends at school, they know that I live in the Chu family now, so they want me to ask if you have time to go out and play together.”
“No.” Chu Lingyu refused without thinking.
He stood up and wanted to leave, Ling Haoyue wanted to pull him, but he avoided him.
Chu Lingyu turned around and asked impatiently, “Is there anything else?”
Ling Haoyue said with a look of grievance, “Brother, are you still angry with me? I really know I was wrong. Can you tell me what I should do to make you forgive me?”
Chu Lingyu didn’t want to waste time with him anymore. Thinking of the huge bill, Ling Haoyue knelt on the ground and hugged his legs in desperation, looking up and begging, “Brother, can you just consider it as doing me another favor? I have already promised them. If I can’t keep my promise, they won’t take me to play in the future. Brother, I beg you, please help me, you can ask me to do anything.”
Chu Lingyu bent down, pried his hands apart, and said coldly, “That’s your business.”
This time he didn’t give Ling Haoyue another chance to pester him, called the servant directly and ordered: “Send him back to the room, and don’t let him come to the living room unless necessary in the future.”
Ling Haoyue widened his eyes in disbelief. Seeing Chu Lingyu going upstairs without looking back, he couldn’t help shouting: “No! Brother, you can’t ignore me! You promised mom and dad to take care of me!”
The servant warned him: “Please be quiet, it’s late at night, don’t disturb the husband and wife to rest.”
Ling Haoyue wanted to go upstairs to find Chu Lingyu, but the servant covered his mouth and sent him back to the guest room, and warned him: “If you don’t follow the rules like this again next time, you can’t stay in the Chu family. The wife said that she will rent a house for you outside and pay your rent and living expenses for one year. Do you understand?”
Ling Haoyue shut up unwillingly.
He had had enough of this kind of life under someone else’s roof!
But the most urgent thing was to get Chu Lingyu to agree to go with him to see Jiang Yuan.
Ling Haoyue was so anxious that he couldn’t sleep when he thought of the more than two million. Chu Heyan, who was waiting to eat melons in the room, saw Chu Lingyu coming back, and immediately sat up from the bed and asked: “What did Ling Haoyue say to you? What is he going to do now?”
Chu Lingyu: “He was tricked into going out to play, and owed a debt of two or three million in one night. He wanted me to help him solve the problem.”
Chu Heyan was shocked: “Two or three million? What did he play?”
Chu Lingyu: “He opened a bottle of Dalmore Scotch Whisky worth more than two million, plus other expenses, a total of two million ninety thousand and eight hundred.”
Chu Heyan: “…”
He called the system out and asked: [System, is this how the emotional line of your protagonist is promoted?]
System: “Classic plot of a hero saving a beauty, is there any problem?”
Chu Heyan: [Let’s not discuss whether it is beautiful or not. The problem is that as a healthy person who is about to become an adult, at least he shouldn’t be so stupid, right? He didn’t even look at the price of the wine when he opened it? He dare to open the wine of any price without knowing it? Even if the Ling family goes bankrupt, they can’t afford this bottle of wine.]
System: “Isn’t this necessary for the plot? It’s time for the hero to save the situation. This is also to increase the hero’s character charm and attractiveness.”
Chu Heyan couldn’t help but complain: [I don’t think there is any personality charm for someone who likes such a fool and is willing to wipe his ass for him. I only suspect that he is blind and stupid.]
System: “That’s why you are the villain.”
Chu Heyan couldn’t refute it for a while. He looked at Chu Lingyu and asked seriously: “You are not really going to settle the account for him, are you?”
Chu Lingyu sneered: “How is it possible?”
He was willing to waste this energy today to listen to the voices of those who had contact with Ling Haoyue and figure out the cause and effect of Ling Haoyue’s visit to him, mainly because he knew that Chu Heyan liked to eat melons.
Not only that, he also knew that Chu Heyan liked to see Ling Haoyue in trouble. Seeing Chu Heyan laughing happily, Chu Lingyu knew that he was not wrong.
