Shen Yushan frowned, “Even if he’s a good man, didn’t he let you down.”

Su Zixi bitterly smiled and shook her head, not explaining further.

Seeing this, Shen Yushan could only sigh, “Don’t worry, there are plenty of men vying for a silly girl like you! I’m really afraid you’ll be sold off and end up counting the money for them…”

Su Zixi couldn’t help but laugh out loud.

Almost involuntarily, her mind wandered to He Jingyao. If it were him… would he sell her?

Well, he’s so rich, definitely not…

Su Zixi realized what she was thinking and suddenly felt a bit guilty. Initially, she had considered Mr. He to be a stranger, but now, she was already contemplating the possibility of being with him…

Could ten thousand yuan have won her over…

From this angle, it seemed she really was quite gullible, Su Zixi thought somewhat annoyed.

Shen Yushan saw her frowning one moment and laughing the next, and instinctively felt Su Zixi was hiding something. She was about to continue questioning her, but just then, the professor on stage suddenly called out their names.

Both Shen Yushan and Su Zixi tensed up, thinking the professor was upset with them for talking in private. But the professor said, “Zhixi, Yushan, you two will act as the team captain and vice-captain for this Challenge Cup project. The competition is next month, and time is tight, so do your best.”

The two of them breathed a sigh of relief and then nodded in unison.

The Challenge Cup is held at this time every year. Last year, Su Zixi and Shen Yushan were just ordinary team members, but this year they were promoted to captain and vice-captain. Instantly, they put their gossiping thoughts aside and focused on the lecture.

For the next few days, to prepare for the competition, Su Zixi and Shen Yushan led the other team members to the library, working from morning till night, so busy they had to order takeout for meals.

As a result, for three whole days, Su Zixi didn’t step out of the school gates and completely forgot about He Jingyao.

…

On the fourth morning, just as Su Zixi arrived at the library, Shen Yushan pulled her aside, “How many days has your phone been off? Go to the office quickly, the homeroom teacher is looking for you.”

“What’s the matter?” Su Zixi was surprised.

These past few days, she had turned off her phone to focus on the project.

“I don’t know either, the homeroom teacher just called me.” Shen Yushan shrugged, “You better go check it out.”

Su Zixi didn’t dare to delay and hurried to the homeroom teacher’s office.

She opened the door, about to greet, only to see a somewhat familiar back sitting at the desk.

Her hands involuntarily clenched.

The homeroom teacher looked up and saw her, smiling, “Zhixi, you’re finally here. I know you’ve been busy with the Challenge Cup, but you can’t completely ignore your family. Look at how worried your father was, he came to school to find you.”

Su Guo’an stood up and faced her, his face full of relief and emotion, “Zhixi, I’m glad you’re okay. I’ve been calling you these past few days, but couldn’t get through. I thought something happened to you.”

The homeroom teacher nodded at Su Guo’an, “I’ll leave the office to you two. Zhixi, have a good chat with your father.”

Su Zixi wanted to say that she and Su Guo’an had nothing to talk about.

But she didn’t want the homeroom teacher to know about her family’s messy affairs, so she could only accept the arrangement.

Once the homeroom teacher left the office, Su Zixi spoke calmly, “What do you want.”

Su Guo’an sighed, both helpless and guilty, “Zhixi, you must be angry with me, right.”

Su Zixi gave a cold laugh and stayed silent.

Su Guo’an’s expression changed, suddenly erupting, “Zhixi, I’m your father. It’s not that I don’t want to love you! But over the years, every time I try to talk to you, you have this attitude! How can I love you? Your sister is obedient and considerate, but you, you always treat me like I’m your enemy!”
