Chapter 80: An Expensive Gift
Tsk, Mo Zhu sneered again. Did Fang Ran not find it embarrassing that the top student of Class One had won the Progress Award?
“Alright, I have noted this. I’ll help Meng Ran deal with it. Class is starting soon, you guys go back to your seats.”
Mo Zhu was not used to being surrounded by so many people and she was a little short of breath. She opened her mouth and signaled the girls to get ready for class.
“Sure, Sister Mo, please counsel Xiao Ran more in a while. She places a lot of importance on the scholarships she receives every semester. We are all afraid that she will take things too hard and it will affect her studies in the future.”
After saying this, the few of them returned to their seats one after another to prepare for class. Mo Zhu turned her body and reached out to stroke Meng Ran’s smooth long hair. “Alright, alright, stop crying. I have a way to help you get back this scholarship that belongs to you.”
“What?” Although Meng Ran had been leaning on the table and crying bitterly, she heard every single word that everyone said. “Sister Mo, don’t tell me that you’re teasing me on purpose because I’m in a bad mood…”
When Meng Ran heard Mo Zhu’s words, she suddenly raised her head and wiped her tears with all her might, questioning the girl’s words.
“Of course not. Since you call me Sister Mo, then you naturally can’t address me as your sister for free. Adjust your mood and attend class properly now. I will definitely settle this matter for you before the scholarship list is announced.” Mo Zhu looked at Meng Ran and raised her eyebrows, looking confident.
“Boohoohoo, Sister Mo, you’re so nice. I really love you so much. In the future, I’ll listen to you and do whatever you want me to do. I definitely have no second thoughts!” Meng Ran was extremely relieved by the promise that Mo Zhu had made. She was utterly impressed by her now.
“Alright, then you’re not allowed to cry anymore. Look at how swollen your eyes are from crying. Let’s see how you’re going to listen to class later.” Mo Zhu took out a pack of tissues from her backpack and passed it to Meng Ran. She comforted her softly again.
Seeing how considerate Mo Zhu was, Meng Ran was so touched that she smiled through her tears.
At noon, Huo Xuan sent a message to Mo Zhu saying that Xu Huan had already returned to Cloud City after settling his matters. Furthermore, he had reserved a room in the morning and wanted to treat the two of them to a meal.
After Mo Zhu agreed, she gave Meng Ran a few instructions. Once the bell rang, she took her phone and walked towards the school gate.
It was still Huo Xuan’s car waiting at the entrance. However, after getting into the car this time, Mo Zhu immediately heard Xu Huan’s noisy voice.
The man stuck his head out from the front passenger seat and said in an annoying voice, “Little Bamboo, I haven’t seen you in a few days. Do you miss me a lot…”
Mo Zhu leaned lazily against the chair and replied without even looking up, “No.”
“Sigh, although I had already thought that I might get such an answer, I still feel sad when I really heard Little Bamboo say this. To think that I brought a gift back from Beijing for you. Little Bamboo’s ruthlessness is too disappointing…”
Xu Huan touched his heart in an exaggerated manner, as if he had been abandoned. After he said this, he took out a beautiful gift box from his backpack and handed it to Mo Zhu.
Mo Zhu looked at the beautifully packaged box in front of her and for a moment, she didn’t know whether she should reach out to take it. After all, a small gift from Xu Huan might really be some priceless jewel. As Huo Xuan’s fiancée, she had to be more careful with her words and actions.
She looked up at Huo Xuan with slight hesitation. After the man nodded calmly, Mo Zhu raised her hand to take the box. The girl gently opened the box and saw that there was a beautiful bracelet inside. She smiled lightly and said, “Thank you Young Master Xu for your thoughtful gift. It’s beautiful.”
Duh! Of course it was beautiful. He had spent a lot of money getting someone to buy it back overseas. This bracelet was a top-notch luxury item that was limited edition overseas. It was also considered a priceless item. If he hadn’t visited the collector of this brand in advance, he might not have been able to get it.
Xu Huan smacked his lips and sighed in his heart. These two people from the Huo family were indeed the same. All of them were capitalists who wasted god’s given gifts. No matter what good things they laid their eyes on, they would still act so arrogantly.
If it wasn’t for the fact that Huo Xuan had put in a lot of effort into the business he was negotiating with, he wouldn’t be willing to give Mo Zhu such a precious gift. He would rather keep it and give it to his future wife.
“Keep it well. Based on Xu Huan’s expression now, this bracelet is probably worth a lot. However, I’ve done a lot for his business this time. We aren’t taking advantage of him by accepting this gift from him.”
Huo Xuan placed one hand on the car window and picked up the bracelet from the open box in Mo Zhu’s hand with the other to take a look.
With his appraisal skills from many years of experience, Huo Xuan could tell at a glance whether an item was ordinary.
Knowing that Xu Huan was thanking Huo Xuan by giving her a gift, Mo Zhu did not hesitate any longer. She immediately kept the bracelet and placed it in her backpack. Since he had given such a good thing to her, it’s hers now!
After putting the backpack back on, Mo Zhu rubbed her wrist a few times. She seemed to have recalled something and said to Huo Xuan, “Do you have a computer in the car? I want to use it.”
Huo Xuan casually took out a laptop he carried with him from the storage bag hanging in the car and handed it to Mo Zhu as he replied, “It’s the same one from last time. Use it as you please.”
