Chapter 331: Chapter 331: No Luxury Car?
Sheng Tang picked up the phone.
She didn’t expect that the caller would be that wastrel, Sheng Zhang, from the Sheng Family.
"...Is this your phone?" Sheng Zhang asked coldly.
Sheng Tang didn’t hang up, instead, she intentionally asked back, "Who are you?"
Sheng Zhang was silent for a moment; he didn’t believe that Sheng Tang couldn’t recognize him.
"You tell me, who am I?" Sheng Zhang’s voice was as grating as porcelain scraping glass, "Sheng Tang, don’t get complacent! Do you think you’re competing with someone?"
"Sorry, I’m not competing with you." Sheng Tang laughed, "Someone like you isn’t worthy of being my opponent. Get your parents to come!"
Sheng Zhang was so furious he laughed instead, "Watch yourself!"
"I always do!"
"You think you can count on your boyfriend to protect you?" Sheng Zhang gritted his teeth, "Do you think he can keep you safe? The city is full of powerful people; you have affluent friends, but do you think I don’t? Just you wait."
Sheng Tang chuckled lightly, "Childish! Get lost!"
With that, she hung up and blocked Sheng Zhang.
He had somehow gotten Sheng Tang’s number, and Sheng Tang found it quite annoying.
Sheng Tang didn’t mention any of this to her parents. She knew her father was a scholar, not one for fighting or arguments, and he always got so upset with those people at the old house that he couldn’t even rebut them. Just mentioning them made him unhappy.
Next week was the final exam at school, and Sheng Tang decided she couldn’t waste any more time; she had to do well this time.
Many students stayed at school to self-study until eight in the evening and ate dinner at the cafeteria.
Sheng Tang told her parents about it and decided to stay and study for a few days, and return home later.
Her parents agreed.
But Gu Shiting wasn’t too keen on the idea, "Come to my place, and I’ll help you study."
He didn’t dare let her stay out so late, and it wasn’t convenient for him to pick her up at night, yet he was worried about her going home alone.
Sheng Tang said, "I’m not afraid; it’ll be fine."
Gu Shiting: "..."
Everyone has their own life, and he didn’t dare push Sheng Tang too hard.
If he tried to control Sheng Tang’s life, she would eventually have enough and leave him.
In Sheng Tang’s class, about eighty percent of the students stayed to self-study.
On one hand, they genuinely wanted to review their work; on the other, they found it fresh and fun to stay and study together at night since none of them were boarders.
The class monitor was very concerned about the safety of the students, especially the girls. For those without a private ride, they were anxious to plan the route thoroughly.
Jiang Baocu suggested taking Sheng Tang home.
Sheng Tang said, "Your house and mine are in opposite directions. By the time you get home, it’ll be ten, wasting your time. I know a bit of martial arts, and I have a whip with me. It’s fine, I can handle it."
Past eight o’clock, S City was just beginning to bustle, with people everywhere and excellent public security, so there was no need to be overly paranoid.
The self-study session at school ended promptly at eight, with the campus brightly lit and students leaving in groups, creating a lively atmosphere.
At the school gate, Sheng Tang ran into Qin Lin.
Qin Lin was carrying his backpack, looking quite dispirited. He usually had a private car to take him home, but today he had managed to get himself a bicycle and planned to ride home for some exercise under the night sky.
Sheng Tang saw him and greeted him.
"Want me to give you a ride?" Qin Lin asked.
Sheng Tang replied, "I don’t want to ride a bicycle. Don’t you have a luxury car?"
"Get lost!" Qin Lin rode off in a flash, not wanting to bother with this ungrateful junior.
Unexpectedly, later on, Sheng Tang’s bus and Qin Lin’s bike ended up on the same route for a while.
The bus stopped frequently, and Qin Lin’s bike was neither fast nor slow, remaining just ahead of Sheng Tang. She saw him clearly.
But Qin Lin didn’t see her.
