Chapter 15 Children of the Jinling Family

Liu Hui saw the expression on her mother's face and knew something was wrong. He quickly asked, "Mom, just tell me, who exactly is Tang Sufei's father? Tang Sufei's mother got sick because of him."

Fang Xueyun let out a long sigh and said, "Lin Yan is truly a woman with a tragic fate!"

Back when they were neighbors with the Tang Sufei family, Fang Xueyun had a chance encounter with Tang Sufei's father.

He came from a prominent family, with an extraordinary temperament and several bodyguards protecting him.

"But I checked the license plate, and her father is probably from Jinling City. I asked Lin Yan about it before, but she looked sad and didn't want to say much. It's rare for these children from influential families to have genuine feelings."

Lin Yan is Tang Sufei's mother's name. After Fang Xueyun finished speaking, she couldn't help but feel pity for Lin Yan.

Liu Hui didn't expect Tang Sufei's father to be a wealthy heir from a prominent family in Jinling.

He hadn't visited Tang Sufei and her mother for such a long time. It seemed like he had abandoned them!

With this in mind, Liu Hui couldn't help but feel a hint of disgust towards this person he had never met.

"Alright, Xiaohui, let's end the discussion here. Go to bed quickly; you still have school tomorrow!" Fang Xueyun stopped the conversation and urged Liu Hui.

"Oh, right, Mom, I promised Sufei tonight that I would pick her up and drop her off at home every day. It won't be convenient to go home then. Fortunately, Xiaopang rented a house near the school and invited me to stay there! I've been planning to live near the school for these few months before the college entrance exam to avoid unnecessary travel. It's quite troublesome." Liu Hui suddenly remembered the matter of alchemy and quickly used Huang Qihua as an excuse.

"Xiaopang is your desk mate, Huang Qihua, right? I agree to this, but Xiaohui, I must warn you that I don't object to you dating, but the college entrance exam is approaching, and your father and I hope you can achieve good results. Don't let your studies suffer!" Fang Xueyun looked at Liu Hui with a smile that wasn't a smile, reminding him to focus on his studies.

Liu Hui's face turned slightly red, and he promised aloud, "Mom! Where are you getting these thoughts from? I'm doing this to study well. I promise I will achieve the highest scores in the entire school in the college entrance exam."

"Alright, don't make big promises here. Go to bed early! I'll go back to my room first."

Fang Xueyun knew her son well, so after speaking, she got up from the couch and returned to the bedroom.

Liu Hui was pleased that he successfully persuaded Fang Xueyun about renting a house.

He felt happy in his heart and planned to start renting the house, buying medicine, and refining his body tomorrow.

With anticipation for the next day, Liu Hui gradually drifted into dreamland.

The next day, Liu Hui woke up early, finished breakfast, and jogged directly to school.

Since Zhao Shijing came to Chu City First High School to find Liu Hui yesterday, he had become quite famous within the school. Wherever he went, there would always be a group of people pointing and whispering about him.

Liu Hui walked into Class 8 of Senior Three amidst the gazes of others.

Just as

he arrived at the classroom door, Xiaopang Huang Qihua waved at him and called out loudly, "Liu Hui, over here!"

As soon as Liu Hui sat down, Huang Qihua excitedly asked, "Liu Hui, you're incredible! Where did the beautiful CEO take you last night? You didn't even come to evening self-study?"

Seeing Huang Qihua's lecherous smile, Liu Hui replied in annoyance, "You fatso! Where do you think I went? Sister Shijing just invited me to dinner at Boya Hotel. Afterward, she left. I had something to do and didn't feel like coming back to school, so I didn't attend the evening self-study."

"Boya Hotel? Isn't that the best Western restaurant in our Chu City, with a Michelin-starred chef?" Huang Qihua exclaimed upon hearing the name Boya Hotel, attracting the attention of the entire class.

The Boya Hotel in Chu City had a great reputation, and most of the students at Chu City First High School had heard of it.

When the classmates in Class 8 of Senior Three heard that Liu Hui had gone to Boya Hotel for dinner yesterday, they looked at him with envy.

While some admired him, there were also those who disagreed.

"Hmph! What's so great about a bunch of bumpkins going to Boya Hotel for dinner? Our Hou Shao often frequents such high-class places," Cao Yuting, dissatisfied with Liu Hui's sudden popularity, sneered loudly.

Upon hearing Cao Yuting's words, the students present felt a bit displeased. She had insulted all of them with that remark.

However, they didn't argue back; they simply didn't pay much attention to Liu Hui's side, to avoid being labeled as bumpkins.

"Liu Hui, Cao Yuting is really disgusting. You taught her a lesson last time, but she still hasn't learned her lesson!" Huang Qihua, also unhappy with Cao Yuting, said in a loud voice. She constantly belittled others and flattered Hou Liangsheng, which was truly disgusting.

"Let her be! Let her say a few more words. It won't do you any harm," Liu Hui didn't pay much attention to Cao Yuting. They were not even in the same league, and he said indifferently.

"I actually hope to lose a bit of weight, maybe she can help me with that," Liu Hui chuckled upon hearing that, teasingly saying, "Haha! With Cao Yuting's sharp tongue, aren't you afraid of turning from a chubby to a bony skeleton?"

Huang Qihua imagined what he would look like as a skeleton, shivered involuntarily, and quickly shook his head, saying, "Forget it, I'd rather stay as my chubby self!"

Class time always passed slowly, but Liu Hui didn't pay attention to the teacher's lecture at all. He sat alone, flipping through textbooks and doing exercise sets.

Since he had promised his mother to achieve the highest scores in the entire school, he couldn't go back on his word.

Merely relying on a photographic memory was not enough; he needed constant practice.

"Ring, ring!"

The bell for the lunch break rang, and Liu Hui, who had been busy all morning, couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"Liu Hui, let's go. We'll go to the cafeteria for lunch!" Huang Qihua closed his textbooks and greeted Liu Hui.

Most students at Chu City First High School had their lunch in the cafeteria, with only breakfast and dinner being eaten at home.

Feeling a bit hungry himself, Liu Hui went to the cafeteria with Huang Qihua to have lunch, relax for a bit, and continue studying in the afternoon.

Liu Hui arrived at the cafeteria of Chu City First High School. The cafeteria was divided into two floors.

The upper floor resembled a hotel, offering private rooms and individually cooked dishes, specifically for more affluent families.

Of course, the prices were much higher. The lower floor was a regular cafeteria, with meals served in pots.

"Liu Hui, I heard you went to Boya Hotel for dinner yesterday. Are you okay coming back to the cafeteria today?" Maize Cheng, with his spiky hair, was the first to provoke him.

"That was just a stroke of luck for him, saving Zhao Shijing's life and getting that opportunity. Once people have repaid their debts, they won't care about him. He's just a poor loser," Cao Yuting had forgotten her own

painful past and began to taunt Liu Hui again.

"Liu Hui, do you want me to say a few nice words to Hou Shao and have you join us on the second floor for lunch?" Last time, Hou Liangsheng lost face in front of Zhao Shijing, and the entire school secretly ridiculed him.

He blamed Liu Hui for it all. Now, Hou Liangsheng's cronies finally found an opportunity to mock Liu Hui, while Hou Liangsheng and the class flower, Li Fangxue, stood calmly aside, chatting.

However, having seen Cao Yuting's example, they didn't dare to insult Liu Hui's parents.
