Chapter 13: The Attack Of The Tycoon (13)

Editor: Atlas Studios

However, in the end, he could only force a word out of his mouth. “Scram.”

This bunch of people were not scared of him. They were scared of Ji Chuzheng. If he were to use brute force to settle this matter today and Ji Chuzheng was not here the next time they were with him, the bullying would only get worse.

“Thank you, Brother Ye.”

“Thank you, Brother Ye…”

“Big Sister Chuzheng.” They looked towards Chuzheng in unison. Could they leave now?

“What about that thing?”

One of them stood up and ran to the back to push a bicycle out. “Brother Ye, this is our compensation.”

They placed the bicycle in front of Ye Chen and quickly scram away into the night as though they were chased by a ghost.

Ye Chen looked at the bicycle with furrowed eyebrows.

“In the future, you have my back.” Chuzheng took out a piece of paper from her school bag before taking her time to write her phone number on it. “Here’s my phone number, save it in your phone.”

She gave the piece of paper to Ye Chen.

Ye Chen did not take it as he put out a stop sign with his hand with his eyes full of wariness.

Chuzheng placed the piece of paper onto the bicycle.

It was not until Chuzheng had left that Ye Chen took the paper.

“Ji Chuzheng… what are you trying to do?”

Ye Chen mumbled to himself before looking at the bicycle before him. It was the other party’s compensation to him and he should be able to accept it… but something did not feel right.

After a long time, Ye Chen rubbed his stomach in discomfort and parked the bicycle at a corner before preparing to go back up.

“Brother Ye.” A man suddenly appeared in the darkness and passed something hot to him. “Big Sister Chuzheng wanted to give you this.”

Ye Chen was stumped. “…”

“I don’t want it.”

“Brother Ye! Don’t do this, if you don’t want it, I cannot answer to Big Sister Chuzheng later!” That person gave a devastating plea. “Take it. As long as it’s in your hands, you can eat it or throw it… Aiya, you can do whatever you want with it.”

Ye Chen waited for that person to leave before walking to the bin beside him, he wanted to throw the food away. He reached out to throw it, but in the end, he still retracted his hand.

He looked at the position of his window and walked towards a certain direction. After searching for a long time, he finally found the bottle of water he threw out of this window.

He took the bottle of water and the food and went up carefully. It was not until he closed his room’s door that Ye Chen heaved a sigh of relief.

He had not eaten dinner today yet and hence was very hungry.

The aroma of the food only made him hungrier.

He propped his forehead with his hand. “Ji Chuzheng…”

–

As Father Ji was always working overseas and Ji Tongtong was perhaps frightened by Chuzheng’s sudden change as well as the recorder incident, Ji Tongtong kept avoiding her whenever they were at home.

Ye Chen also seemed to avoid her on purpose.

Chuzheng would not come up to him unless something happened.

It is so hard to be a friend.

The school’s image of Chuzheng has since slowly changed from a non-mainstream girl to the ice goddess.

Her aura and presence could not be mimicked by just anybody.

Ji Tongtong’s pure and pleasant image was overshadowed by Chuzheng’s chic presence.

However, although Chuzheng had a makeover, with San Mao and the others always appearing around her, most of the students were still scared of her.

Regarding the convenience store incident, many students had debated it, causing Ji Tongtong to feel a little awkward at times and some even said that she clashed with Chuzheng on purpose including the previous times. Ji Chuzheng did not even want to bother herself with her, but she had to come up to her and create trouble for her.

As such, Ji Tongtong toned down a little.

She most probably wanted to make people forget about that incident momentarily.

When he was on his way to school, Ye Chen—who had not met Chuzheng for many days—met her outside of school.

He was standing in front of a bakery, but he seemed to be thinking about something and had not moved from his spot for a very long time.

Chuzheng walked nearer to him and saw that Ye Chen was counting his money before stuffing the money into his pocket and turned around…

Ye Chen met with Chuzheng’s cold and calm eyes without a warning and took a step back out of surprise.

‘Since when did she stand beside me?’

Chuzheng had changed into her school uniform and only zipped halfway of her black and white uniform. She looked very different from the rest of the female students and amidst her coldness was a hint of manliness.

She looked strangely… cool in it.

Ye Chen did not even know why he had thought of that adjective.

Chuzheng motioned him to go in. “Accompany me to eat breakfast.”

Ye Chen furrowed his eyebrows and rejected, “We are not that close.”

Chuzheng walked back and stared deep into his eyes. “If you don’t eat with me, I will get people to create trouble for you every day.”

“…”

[Little miss, you will be misunderstood as a bad person! We need to be a friend! Repeat after me, I am a friend! Friend! Friend! Friend! I am a friend!]

Chuzheng was stunned. “…”

‘Bastard really talks too much.’

‘It’s so noisy.’

[…]’If she says that I am a bastard one more time, I will throw a fit!’

–

There were many people in the bakery and it was already full.

Ye Chen watched Chuzheng walk towards two students and the moment she stood in front of them, the two students stood up meekly.

“Big Sister Chuzheng, you’re here to eat breakfast? Come here, we have saved these seats for you.”

Ye Chen was stumped. “…”

“What do you want to eat?”

Ye Chen refused to answer her.

Chuzheng had the store owner to make a set of everything he had in the store.

“I can’t eat so much.” Ye Chen furrowed his eyebrows.

“What do you want to eat?” asked Chuzheng again.

“…” Ye Chen tolerated his anger and let the store owner prepare a bowl of noodles for him.

Chuzheng also casually ordered a bowl of noodles.

While they were waiting, Chuzheng asked, “Why didn’t you ride that bicycle?”

Ye Chen’s mouth twitched. ‘She still dared to mention it.’

“I will return the bicycle to you tomorrow.”

“They compensated you, why must you return it?”

“I’ve checked it online. That bicycle costs at least $50,000, do they have that much money to pay for it?” As it was too dark that night, he did not see it clearly.

The next morning, he saw that the exterior of the bicycle looked different from the usual bicycle.

He looked at the logo and found out that the brand of the bicycle was called Specialized.

Spending $50,000 for that brand was not considered a lot but one could buy a normal bicycle for a few hundred bucks.

The bicycle was definitely not compensated by those people.

Also, the only person who could take out $50,000 easily could only be this Big Missy Ji.

Chuzheng remained silent for a few seconds. “I will take note of it.”

“??”

‘Take note of what?’

Ye Chen realized that he could not understand this Big Missy at all.

–

Ye Chen had really meant it when he said he would return the bicycle to Chuzheng and had pushed the bicycle to school the next day. He even especially waited for her on the road she would always pass by on her way to school.

Chuzheng would ride her private car to school every day and sometimes, she would be dropped off at the school entrance, but sometimes she would be dropped off at the crossroad near the school.

Ye Chen was not very sure where she would be dropped off and hence simply waited for her near the crossroad.

He waited for a while and Chuzhen’s car indeed stopped at the crossroad.

A girl wearing her uniform got out of the car as she coolly swung her school bag to her back before closing the car door.

Ye Chen pushed the bicycle and walked towards her, but he realized that the girl walked in the opposite direction.

Ye Chen was a little hesitant but he still decided to follow her.

After that, Ye Chen saw her carrying a cat with snowy white fur as she sat on the steps of a pet shop.

The cat meowed and licked the wrist of the girl whose skin was as white as snow with its pink tongue.

The girl had a serious expression on her face as though what she was carrying was not a cat, but a very valuable treasure.

The rays of sunlight shone on the girl, creating a hazy halo around her. The scene looked very warm and beautiful and one would be unable to take their eyes off her.

Ding ling…

The wind chime rang and someone opened the door to the store.

The man looked a little helpless. “Little girl, if you really like it, how about you buy one and take it home? This way, you don’t have to come over here to caress the cat every day…”

Chuzheng returned the cat back to the pet store owner with a serious expression before saying, “It’s too troublesome.”

She threw a few red notes into the donation box beside her and petted the cat’s head before turning around to leave.

The pet store owner carried the cat while wearing a weird expression on his face.

‘Does this girl have facial paralysis?’
