Zhang Yu used to be interested in catching gossip about Zhang Hao and Chen Jiaojiao, but now, she truly doesn’t have the energy.
No energy to follow gossip; every day is filled with more practice questions, extra classes on Wednesday and Friday nights, and classes on Saturday mornings too.
The regular howork is already a lot, and with the extra classes, even though she always thought she was all about working hard, it’s getting to be a bit too much.
Lu Jiajia said she’s lost a lot of weight, "Well, being thinner is good," Zhang Yu responded flatly.
"I can’t afford to fall behind now, or else I worry that brat Zhang Hao will tell my dad again that girls aren’t good at science subjects."
Lu Jiajia was angry, "Is his pig brain all that great then?"
"If you’re not good at science, then what is he good at? He isn’t good at anything, whether it’s arts or sciences."
"Don’t let him trick you, there are more study options in science, and since you’re good at it, you should definitely choose science."
"He just wants to ruin your future so he can pick a science subject and avoid your brilliance." Lu Jiajia quickly figured out the problem here.
Zhang Yu humd in acknowledgnt; even strangers could clearly see Zhang Hao’s plan, so how could Zhang Dong and the others not guess Zhang Hao’s intention?
"So I have to do even better, to show my parents that I’m the most suitable one to study science in the family," Zhang Yu said with determination.
"Yes, you need to get good grades to shut him up completely, regardless of whether he’s still with that woman or not..."
Lu Jiajia paused for a long ti, "It was the girl we saw when we went out to eat last ti who’s broken up with him."
Broken up? Zhang Yu had guessed Zhang Hao’s relationship might have so issues, but so soon? And Chen Jiaojiao already has soone new outside?
But that can’t be right. If she broke up with Chen Jiaojiao, why would Zhang Hao have this expression? Zhang Yu thought he surely would be throwing a fit, maybe even acting all dramatic.
Yet he’s cald down, "I saw him still going out for dates over the weekend."
"What’s going on?" Even if she was puzzled at how quickly the breakup ca about, when there’s drama, how could she miss it?
Of course she couldn’t miss it, Zhang Yu eagerly looked at Lu Jiajia.
"Yesterday, a relative of mine invited over for dinner, I arrived a bit late, and there was Chen Jiaojiao with a man, cuddling and kissing."
"Then I was wondering what image Zhang Hao with a girlfriend had, how he just let himself go."
"And then the other one looked up, and I saw it was a man in his thirties, the kind that mixes in society."
"Really..." Lu Jiajia had seen two-tirs before, but never a woman like this.
"A gangster?" No way, Zhang Yu was dumbfounded too, "How could Chen Jiaojiao, how could she be involved with soone from society?"
Zhang Yu had always thought if Chen Jiaojiao had soone outside, it should be a classmate or senior, after all, she was quite popular.
There were definitely guys in school who were generous, surely enough to make Chen Jiaojiao happy.
Never expected her to have a new target, but this new target turned out to be a thug, Zhang Yu recalled Chen Jiaojiao’s delicate deanor.
She’s soone with a story, used to think she was just a delicate, innocent girl, now it seems she has a story, otherwise how could she know a gangster.
This is a headache, really a headache, "I don’t know if she broke up with Zhang Hao, even though we live under the sa roof, we’re really not that close."
"I just know that every weekend, he goes out, presumably to date Chen Jiaojiao."
"Do you plan to inform him?" Lu Jiajia thought it probably wouldn’t happen.
Inform Zhang Hao? "I have no clue about these things, I’m so busy every day I can barely find ti to rest, let alone be aware of such matters."
"Besides, Zhang Hao goes on dates with Chen Jiaojiao every week, if there were issues, he would have noticed long ago."
"Let’s wait for him to notice, I really have no idea." Zhang Yu wouldn’t dare challenge a man who’s trying so hard for love.
"He’s working hard for their future, studying hard, earning money."
"And you don’t even know how much money Zhang Hao has spent on Chen Jiaojiao." Zhang Yu roughly calculated.
Lu Jiajia, of course, was curious, eagerly looking at Zhang Yu.
"He’s probably spent fifty to sixty thousand." That’s a conservative estimate, "Lately I’ve been on good terms with Zhang Hao, sotis he cos over to complain."
"He probably thinks I’m seriously imrsed in my study, won’t notice what he says, so he’s said quite a bit, like how much he’s bought for Chen Jiaojiao."
"And where he’s taken her for good food, you have no idea, my mom was hospitalized, and he actually took Chen Jiaojiao on a trip out of town for a day."
In Zhang Hao’s account, that day was very enjoyable, unforgettable, Zhang Yu held back for a long ti not to slap him right there.
So that’s what a filial son is like, when his own mother’s in the hospital, no ti to care, but ti to take his girlfriend out of town.
"How, how can he be like this?" Lu Jiajia was at a loss for words.
"I just wish him well, that any kids he has will be like this in the future, they were young once, wild once, they should be able to empathize a little."
Zhang Yu felt this was the best revenge against Zhang Hao, "My mom didn’t know about Zhang Hao’s actions, and even though he didn’t stay with her much in the hospital, she kept praising him."
"When she found out the days he wasn’t there were spent dating his girlfriend, you wouldn’t believe how furious she was."
"She outright started scolding him." Unfortunately, Zhang Hao is now more cautious than before, very mindful of what he says in front of Zhang Dong and his wife.
The complaints he vented to her were when he sotis couldn’t bear it anymore and ca to see how she persisted in difficult conditions.
After getting such juicy gossip, Zhang Yu was flying high, her mood was great, even studying at ho in the afternoon felt pleasant.
When Zhang Dong ca ho from work, he heard Zhang Yu humming a tune, "Little Yu, feeling good?"
Ever since Zhang Yu joined the extra classes, he could see the girl looking more and more exhausted.
Hearing her sing now indicated she was feeling good, which made Zhang Dong very happy.
Zhang Yu acknowledged with a sound, "Got decent scores in a recent test."
Offhand excuse, definitely couldn’t say she’s happy because Zhang Hao might be wearing a green hat, that wouldn’t do.
"That’s good." Zhang Dong chatted briefly before heading to the study.
Not finding Zhang Hao in the study, he realized that his son must have gone on a date.
Recalling the news he received a few days ago, he thought about it and decided to wait, so things couldn’t be rushed.
Originally, regarding the early relationship issue, Zhang Hao had strong opinions about them. Even if it was true, he might not believe it.
Whether this matter would escalate or if Zhang Hao would save face, Zhang Dong felt it would be a test for him.
