252: Chapter 252 The Second Part of Spending Money to Slap Faces

"Zou Luyao."

A somewhat handsome boy jogged over from the other side of the hallway.

"Oh, it's you. Do you need something from me?" After all, they were classmates who had spent half a year together, so Zou Luyao still responded politely.

"Yesterday, an auntie who looked a lot like you kept looking for you. I remembered the counselor's instructions and didn't reveal your whereabouts. What happened later?"

"Oh, that's my mom. I don't know where the word got out, but she found me this morning."

"Are you okay?"

"I'm fine now. My boyfriend is currently negotiating with my mom. If he steps in, he'll definitely be able to resolve it smoothly."

Seeing the trust and sweetness on Zou Luyao's face, a fire of jealousy ignited in the boy's heart.

"So you really are dating him. I never realized before that you were such a vain woman! You just fell in love with his money."

Having been berated for no reason, Zou Luyao also got a bit angry. "You're such a strange person. Are we even that close? What does it have to do with you who I date?"

"Fine, fine, fine. So it has nothing to do with me now, right? And to think I've always been so good to you!"

"Then pay me back for the 29 cups of milk tea, 8 snacks, and that one time I paid the class fee for you over the last half year!"

It was really impressive how he remembered every single item so precisely.

However, every time in the past, he had been the one to proactively curry favor and force things into Zou Luyao's hands. Out of respect for their classmateship, Zou Luyao hadn't rejected him too bluntly.

Every time afterward, Zou Luyao would try to pay him, but he wouldn't take it. Now that he was bringing it all up and making it seem like she owed him, it made Zou Luyao feel disgusted from the bottom of her heart.

Zou Luyao was just about to ask him exactly how much money it was so she could pay him back to the last cent, but just then, the classroom door behind her suddenly opened.

Having settled the matter, the sharp-eared and observant Zhao Xiaoshuai naturally heard the argument in the hallway.

He stepped out of the door first, casually pulled nearly twenty red bills from his pocket, and flicked them with some force onto the face of that unnamed male student.

The scattered banknotes danced in the air before gradually landing all over the floor.

"I'm sure that's more than enough. Get lost."

The somewhat handsome boy covered his face, feeling a burning sensation, and glared at Zhao Xiaoshuai. "You!"

"You can also choose not to take it."

The boy weighed the difference in their physiques. As the saying goes, a wise man doesn't fight when the odds are against him. He didn't even look at the money on the ground and turned to leave.

It seemed like he still had a bit of backbone.

Seeing her boyfriend come out, Zou Luyao immediately cast the classmate whose name she hadn't even remembered to the back of her mind. "How did your talk go?"

"It's all settled."

Zou Jialing followed them out with a complex expression. She hadn't noticed what happened outside the door just now, only glanced at her daughter cowering behind her boyfriend, and walked out without saying a word.

"Wow, you really handled my mom? She's very stubborn. How did you do it?"

"I just reasoned with your mom, and she saw the light."

To put it bluntly, it was just brute force working miracles, but since it wasn't a very sophisticated method, he wouldn't show off about it to his little girlfriend.

"Unbelievable. Does that mean I can attend classes normally from now on?"

"Yeah, go back and attend the second half of your class now."

"Then I'm going to class. Thanks to you again for this. You always appear when I need you most; you're just like my hero."

This incident caused his little girlfriend's affection level to rise by another 30 points, reaching 341 (Affection).

Looking at his girlfriend, whose eyes were filled with little stars, he asked, "So, is there no reward?" After saying this, Zhao Xiaoshuai even pouted.

"You're annoying!" Zou Luyao looked around sneakily as if no one was there, then quickly kissed her boyfriend on the lips.

But this time, Zhao Xiaoshuai didn't let her off so easily. While wrapping his arm around her waist to prevent her from running away, he deepened the interaction that was supposed to be just a peck.

After struggling with a few muffled sounds, Zou Luyao calmed down.

A long while later, feeling the hand on her waist loosen, his little girlfriend gave a hard push and ran away.

"I'm going to class!"

Watching his little girlfriend flee in a panic, Zhao Xiaoshuai smiled and walked outside, where his mother-in-law should still be waiting.

Just after everyone had left, a sneaky figure nimbly returned to the spot. Seeing that the money was still on the ground, he looked delighted and quickly crouched down to pick it up.

Just a moment ago, he had walked away to save face and act cool, but the more he thought about it, the angrier he got. He had been slapped in the face, so if he didn't take the money, wouldn't it be a huge loss?

And given that guy's wealth, he wouldn't take back money he had already thrown away, right?

So he had been waiting nearby, and only ran back once everyone had left. Sure enough, he had reaped his emotional damages.

"Using money to humiliate me? Well, I'll use this money to find some people to cause you trouble, making you drop a rock on your own feet!"

...

...

Although her mother-in-law Zou Jialing had temporarily believed his explanation, she had been burned before and was now the type who wouldn't release the hawk until she saw the rabbit, so she immediately demanded the property transfer.

Only when she had the promised security in her hands would she finally believe him.

"This car of yours must be very expensive, right?"

"It's alright, less than twenty million."

Hearing the amount, Zou Jialing's movements inside the car became much more reserved.

"Where are we going next to sign the contract and transfer ownership?"

"Don't be in such a rush. The house hasn't been bought yet."

"What!? You really were just using sweet talk to trick me!"

"I'm not tricking you. I said I had selected a house for Yaoyao, not that I had already bought it. On the contrary, to show my sincerity, I'm going to go buy the house right now and then transfer it."

Zou Jialing felt that made sense, so she calmed down for the time being.

Zhao Xiaoshuai took his mother-in-law to his company first to briefly use the conference room there; he had already called a few relevant helpers over in advance.

"This is my legal advisor, Guan Xiaosu. In a moment, she will help you get the power of attorney ready. Later, we'll just find an opportunity to have Yaoyao sign it, and the final procedures can be completed today."

"These are my two secretaries, Ling Rui and Bai Feng. If you need anything in a moment, just ask the two of them to help."

After introducing these people to his mother-in-law, he turned to look at the little secretary:

"If everything is taken care of and I haven't returned yet, take my mother-in-law to a nearby mall to walk around. If she sees anything she likes, just buy it."

Handing a card to the little secretary, Zhao Xiaoshuai drove off.

Zou Jialing scrutinized these women.

'They all look pretty good, but they're still far inferior to my daughter.'

'I wonder if they have any unclear relationships with my son-in-law!'

Thinking that her son-in-law was the big boss here, Zou Jialing instinctively straightened her back a little.

"I haven't eaten breakfast yet, and I'm a bit hungry now. Get me something to eat. I don't like meat, and I don't eat sweets." She sat in the main seat of the conference room, acting quite imperious.

Among the three, Guan Xiaosu had a cold personality, and Ling Rui only listened to her master's orders, so for a moment, neither of them reacted.

In the end, only Bai Feng, who was the only relatively normal one, had to step up to take care of this unexpected mother-in-law of the CEO.
