Chapter 589: A Dysfunctional Family – 1

All of them then bid Xu Wei farewell and walked away. Then, when they saw Zhou Zihuai’s mother, who was standing not far away, they came to a sudden stop. Song Fang and Wang Yu shared a glance, and both of them could sense a storm was coming. That said, they still bit the bullet and greeted her, “Good evening, Mrs. Zhou.”

However, Mrs. Zhou did not say anything in return. She held tightly to her bag and stared fixedly at Zhou Zihuai, who was walking beside Song Fang.

This was something that Wang Yu and Song Fang had expected. They waved at Zhou Zihuai and said, “We’ll go first. See you tomorrow.”

“See you tomorrow,” Zhou Zihuai replied.

The Lu Family’s car slowly drove away from the crowd. However, they could still vaguely hear Xu Wei’s voice from the car.

“Yumo’s friend… that boy that I likes a lot. What’s his name again? Song Fang? Or Song Fangfang? Anyway, that’s not important. Didn’t his family also prefer girls to boys? I heard that his parents have always wanted to have a daughter. You can always invite your classmates to our house. You shouldn’t always play with your games. It’s not good…”

As the car slowly drove away, Xu Wei’s voice gradually dissipated into the air.

“Is Fu Zhi rich?” Mrs. Zhou asked as she handed a cup to Zhou Zihuai.

“Yeah,” Zhou Zihuai replied as he looked at the car that was getting further and further away in his vision.

Mrs. Zhou then said, “Well, it’s rare to see a rich kid who likes to study nowadays. But isn’t her surname Fu? How come she goes into the same car with Yubai? If my memories serve me well, isn’t Yubai one of the Fu Family?”

She waited for a long while, yet she did not receive any response from her son. She frowned and moved on to the next topic, “By the way, did she do as I told her to and guide you on your studies? Did she share her study skills with you? You’re 16 years old this year, and you’re going to participate in the college entrance examination. The most important thing for you to do right now is study, and you should mingle with an outstanding student like Fu Zhi more often. After all, it’s only by following them that you can broaden your horizon.”

“Yeah, she did,” Zhou Zihuai replied, his voice low.

Mrs. Zhou heaved out a sigh of relief after she heard what Zhou Zihuai had said. However, her relief was short-lived. She soon became worried again as she said, “Zihuai, it’s good that she’s willing to teach you. After all, you guys are friends, and friends should be helping each other. However, I have a feeling that she’s calculative. I can see that from her eyes. I’m sure she doesn’t teach you everything, so you have to be wary of her.”

“Mom! Can you stop saying my friend like this?” Zhou Zihuai couldn’t help himself and shouted, “Fu Zhi isn’t that kind of person. She’s a nice girl and she doesn’t really pay attention inside the class. Also, she won’t secretly scheme against other people!”

“You should never judge a book by its cover, Zihuai. Tsinghua University would only accept a few students from your school, so as one of your competitors, how do you know if she doesn’t have an ace up her sleeve. You’re too young and too trusting. She just shows you some kindness, and you trust her wholeheartedly. Can’t you see that she’s actually making a cat’s paw of you?”

She paused for a moment before continuing, “I know you don’t like me nagging around, but I still have to say this. When you’re in Class 1, you’re better than anyone, and even those rich kids can’t do anything to you, but look at you now. Ever since you went to Class 21, your grades plummeted from third in the school to fifth.”

“You said that Fu Zhi doesn’t pay attention in class, but how do you know that she doesn’t study after she goes home? Look at her eyes. I’m sure she’s lying to you guys when she said she plays games through the night. I’ve seen more people than you do, so I can see right through a cunning person like her. Zihuai, you’re my only hope. I’ve spent so much money on you since you’re young. Didn’t you say you’re going to take me to live in a big villa? How can you repay your mother this way?”

“I’ll keep my promise, mom.”

Mrs. Zhou opened up the door to their house. It was a building that would sway along with the wind during a severe storm, and it seemed so dilapidated that even the slightest push could bring the entire building down.

The light in the kitchen was blinking sporadically.

Mrs. Zhou walked into the kitchen and cleaned out the table. “I don’t think you’re going to learn anything from your tutorial class, so I’ve talked to Mr. Wang. He told me that you can go to his class every night for free.”
