Chapter 3299 - 3299 A Gold Digger?
3299 A Gold Digger?
The Education Bureau arranged for accommodation and meals for the students who participated in the national competition, however, they didn’t provide airport pick-up services. Therefore, a friend of Zhou Jing’s from the capital city came to pick her up.
Originally, Li Mochen was coming to pick Leng Xiaoyao up, but since Zhou Jing had a friend coming, Leng Xiaoyao told Li Mochen not to come. She planned to meet him after arriving at the hotel.
Leng Xiaoyao couldn’t help feeling a little excited at the thought of meeting Li Mochen.
Although Leng Xiaoyao told Li Mochen not to come, he still went to the airport to pick her up anyway. However, he didn’t tell Leng Xiaoyao.
Unfortunately, Leng Xiaoyao quickly spotted him. When their eyes met, her heart thumped wildly.
Why did he come?
Leng Xiaoyao couldn’t help thinking about it, because Li Mochen’s actions were easy to misinterpret.
Li Mochen also felt his heart beating irregularly when he saw Leng Xiaoyao. He even felt nervous when he looked at her.
Why did he have that feeling?
A young man, who was quite handsome, came to pick up Zhou Jing.
Upon seeing Leng Xiaoyao, he was amazed by her beauty.
The man was straightforward and said to Zhou Jing at once, “Zhou Jing, your student is stunning!”
He praised Leng Xiaoyao’s stunning look without any ulterior motives.
Zhou Jing replied, “Of course, Leng Xiaoyao isn’t only beautiful, she also excels in her studies!”
The man continued, “I can tell she’s excellent. Otherwise she wouldn’t be able to participate in the national competition. A student of mine, Zhu Xiaoxiao, who is one of the top students in our grade, couldn’t even win first place!”
Zhou Jing then introduced the man. “This is Gao Lei, my college schoolmate and a senior high school teacher at the No.8 High School in the capital city.”
“Nice to meet you, Mr. Gao.” Leng Xiaoyao greeted him.
“Nice to meet you too, Leng Xiaoyao.” Gao Lei replied. “Let’s go, get in the car!”
They all got into the car and left.
After Leng Xiaoyao left in the car, Li Mochen followed her in his car.
Gao Lei suggested, “Let’s have dinner first, then we’ll go to the hotel!”
“Sure! Is it okay with you, Leng Xiaoyao?” Zhou Jing asked and turned to Leng Xiaoyao.
“I’m sorry, I have plans with a friend who’s waiting for me at the hotel. I’ll go out with him later.” Leng Xiaoyao replied.
“I see! Well then, be careful,” Zhou Jing said, reminding her.
She was worried about Leng Xiaoyao being alone in the capital city, but the principal had instructed them not to restrict her during non-competition time.
She was aware that Leng Xiaoyao was very strong and wouldn’t be at a disadvantage even if she encountered trouble.
“Zhou Jing, how could you agree to this! Leng Xiaoyao is just a girl. What if something goes wrong?” Gao Lei strongly disagreed. Even if Leng Xiaoyao was going to hang out with her friend, it might not be safe!
“Don’t worry, Mr. Gao. I’m very skilled, and so is my friend. Anyone who messes with us will only end up getting hurt.” Leng Xiaoyao reassured him, grateful for Gao Lei’s concern.
Hearing that, Gao Lei was surprised. This delicate-looking girl turned out to be skilled in martial arts!
In fact, Zhou Jing seemed quiet and gentle, but was also a martial artist!
“Even so, there are many powerful people in the capital city. If we accidentally offend them, it could be…” Although it was unlikely, Gao Lei couldn’t help but worry about Leng Xiaoyao getting into trouble and causing problems for Zhou Jing.
“No need to worry, Mr. Gao. My friend is also from a very important family. I’m sure we’ll be fine,” Leng Xiaoyao said.
“…”
Gao Lei didn’t know what to say after hearing Leng Xiaoyao’s reply.
The national competition would be held at the Capital University, so the hotel was also nearby. Once they arrived in the city center, Leng Xiaoyao asked Gao Lei to drop her off.
“I actually have a friend following behind us. They were going to pick me up, but I refused and thought I’d meet them later in the hotel. Since you’re also going to dinner, there’s no need to go back to the hotel.” Leng Xiaoyao explained.
Therefore, Gao Lei parked the car in a spot where he could.
Li Mochen’s car followed behind them. When he saw their car stop, he pulled over as well.
Leng Xiaoyao only had a small bag with her, and her luggage was left in Gao Lei’s car. Zhou Jing would take care of it and bring it to the hotel later.
Then Leng Xiaoyao got out of the car and walked towards Li Mochen’s car. Then she got inside.
Gao Lei and Zhou Jing both saw Li Mochen’s car and were amazed. It was a Maybach! Although they didn’t know what model it was, it must have cost several million yuan.
Only very rich people could afford such an expensive car!
It was clear that a man was driving. They just couldn’t see what he looked like.
“Zhou Jing, what is Leng Xiaoyao’s family background? How does she know such a rich person? Is she reliable? Could she be a gold digger?” Gao Lei asked. He didn’t know much about Leng Xiaoyao so he felt suspicious of her.
“Leng Xiaoyao’s grandfather once served as the deputy mayor of City Chang. Her elder uncle is an executive officer of a certain bureau, Her younger uncle runs a design company with assets worth hundreds of millions of yuan. Her friends are also from prominent official families in City Chang. As for Leng Xiaoyao herself, she used to be mischievous and always got into fights, but recently she has changed completely. She has been studying hard and even taught and tutored her classmates, improving the overall grades of the class. I don’t think she is a materialistic person,” Zhou Jing said.
After learning about Leng Xiaoyao’s family background, Gao Lei dismissed his suspicion that she was a god digger.
Just because someone was from a wealthy family didn’t mean they weren’t materialistic, because some people still wanted to climb higher up the social ladder.
However, based on what Zhou Jing said, Leng Xiaoyao tutoring the whole class proved that she wasn’t someone without moral standards.
Even if the man was very rich, as long as he wasn’t married or in a romantic relationship, there was nothing wrong with them being together.
Moreover, Gao Lei didn’t even know what their relationship was, so he shouldn’t judge so much!
Thinking of that, Gao Lei stopped thinking too much and drove with Zhou Jing to grab some food.
Meanwhile, as soon as Leng Xiaoyao got into the car, Li Mochen began to feel uneasy and didn’t dare to meet her eyes.
“What do you want to eat?” Li Mochen asked.
“It’s my first time in the capital city, so I don’t know what’s good to eat here. You decide!” Leng Xiaoyao said.
“Okay.” Li Mochen replied and started driving without telling her where they were going.
Leng Xiaoyao didn’t bother to ask either. She would find out when they arrived.
