Chapter 249 Wen Zijin's Gossip
Li Qiao'er was still sitting on the ground at the doorway.
Since it was in front of her own restaurant, Wen Luozhi suppressed a laugh and went forward to help her up, even thoughtfully straightening her collar.
"Oh dear, my fourth brother is so rude! I'll have Mother teach him a lesson later."
"Look at him, he's ruined the girl's clothes."
Li Qiao'er felt a pang of guilt; she had always thought that men would fall for this!
Unexpectedly, Wen Zi'an didn't even glance at her, and even pushed her!
The thought that the woman in front of her was that man's sister made her furious.
"Who wants your fake kindness? Get out of my way!"
She straightened her skirt, pushed Wen Luozhi away, and her eyes showed a hint of dissatisfaction and disgust.
If you really wanted to help her, why didn't you do it earlier? You were just watching from the side the whole time.
They didn't even try to set us up. Be careful, or Wen Zi'an might end up a bachelor for life!
Wen Luozhi wasn't angry at all; on the contrary, Zou An rushed out, looking indignant. "Big brother, you've gone too far! Pretty sister, are you alright?"
As he spoke, he wiped his greasy little hands on her skirt.
Li Qiao'er didn't notice anything amiss; she just thought this chubby baby was so sensible! Much better than some people.
She patted Zou An's head, lamented for a moment, and finally said, "You can't be like this now that you're grown up; it's extremely vulgar."
Wen Luozhi found it amusing. Her brother was indeed rude, but why wasn't he rude to Jiang Shuqian?
Look at you, you green tea girl! You're just trying to take advantage of other girls, but you also have to put them down.
After she finally left, Zou An raised his hand to look at it.
Hmm, it's clean now.
He scratched his ruffled hair and tried to pull Wen Luozhi away, but Wen Luozhi quickly jumped away.
"Wash your hands! Wash your hands! Don't wipe them on my new dress!"
She had seen it clearly just now; those oily hands were so shiny they were practically reflecting light, but they became matte as soon as they got off Li Qiao'er.
How hard did you have to scrub? I'll probably have to wash it for a while when I get back.
Zou An pursed his lips; he had already wiped it clean.
As Li Qiao'er walked down the street, she always felt that people were looking at her, but not in a liking way.
Is it... mockery?
She hurried home, and at the door she ran into her neighbor, who lived next door. "Qiao Jie'er! You..."
"Why is there a handprint on your butt?" she asked in a low voice.
Li Qiao'er pulled up her skirt and saw a small handprint on her pale yellow skirt, which would have been right at her bottom if she had put her hand down.
There were some black, shiny, and reddish lumps that I didn't know what they were.
Not just on my butt, but also in front of me!
No wonder! No wonder! She was wondering how those people looked at her on the way back!
How could a handprint on your butt not make people speculate?
She thought and thought, and realized that the only time today was when she was at Baiweizhai, the chubby baby had tugged at her clothes.
It must be that chubby boy! She used to be a little disgusted by his greasy little mouth.
I thought he was going to comfort her, but it turns out he came to use her new dress as a rag!
That brat has no manners at all. Next time I see him, I'll give him a good spanking!
She gritted her teeth, while her girlfriends secretly laughed to themselves.
Li Qiao'er always loves to show off, she must have embarrassed herself today, otherwise she wouldn't look so bad.
She offered a few words of feigned comfort, then picked up her basket and went inside, leaving Li Qiao'er looking furious.
The academy will be closed for the holidays tomorrow. Wen Luozhi hasn't been there in a long time, so on a whim, she bought some things to go find Wen Zijin and Yan Che.
Upon arriving at the academy gate, the gatekeeper surprisingly let her in. Seeing her slight disbelief, the gatekeeper smiled and said, "Because the academy's entrance exam is approaching, family visits are temporarily permitted."
Since Wen Luozhi had already become familiar with him, there was no need to report it.
He was reassured that the girl always waited quietly and never made a fuss when she came.
Upon hearing this, Wen Luozhi thanked her and stepped into the academy.
She sat in a pavilion opposite Wen Zijin's classroom, wondering when get out of class would end, when she saw Su Ranzhi peering through the window.
After a short while, he seemed to get bored and left.
She called out softly twice, and Su Ranzhi looked over in confusion to see her running over, lifting her skirt.
"Luo Zhi! What brings you here?!" she asked in surprise and a soft voice.
Wen Luozhi raised an eyebrow. "I'm here to see my brother. What about you?"
"They wouldn't be here to see my brother, would they?" she thought, but didn't say it aloud.
Su Ranzhi lowered her head. Of course she came to see Wen Zijin; she came almost every day, but…
She looked up and smiled, saying, "I missed my grandpa a bit, so I came to visit. I had nothing else to do at home anyway."
Wen Luozhi didn't believe it; Su Xian went home every day after finishing his lessons.
We see each other all the time, what's there to think about?
The two sat and waited for a while until get out of class finally ended. Wen Zijin and Yan Che were almost the last to come out.
Su Ranzhi's eyes lit up when she saw Wen Zijin.
She stood up, intending to go over, but then seemed to remember something and silently withdrew the leg she had stepped out with.
Wen Luozhi looked at it strangely. She stood up, waved in that direction, and called out to Yan Che.
Yan Che vaguely heard a sound, looked around and saw her waving at him from the opposite side.
"Zijin! Little sister is here!" He ran happily toward the pavilion, with Wen Zijin following behind him leisurely.
"Luo'er is here, Miss Su."
Upon arriving at the pavilion, Wen Zijin parted her thin lips slightly, a faint smile playing on her lips.
Su Ranzhi nodded slightly and sat silently, listening quietly to the three of them chatting and laughing.
Seeing that Wen Zijin's smile never faded, she realized that he didn't treat everyone the same way he treated her.
His tone was cool, and his face was cold.
Sensing something was wrong, Wen Luozhi nudged Yan Che's arm, and Yan Che immediately understood what she meant.
He grabbed the things on the table, opened them, and exclaimed dramatically, "Look what delicious treats my little sister brought me!"
"Miss Su, come sit here. You won't be able to eat if you're too far away."
Su Ranzhi smiled slightly and moved a little closer, but no matter what Wen Luozhi and Yan Che said, she seemed to be lost in thought.
After Su Xian finished packing and came to find her to go back, Wen Luozhi covered her mouth and asked with a gossipy face, "What happened?"
Yan Che took a sip of fruit tea and shrugged. "What else could it be? It's all because of our Fifth Brother."
Wen Luozhi rolled her eyes. Of course she knew! But what exactly happened?
While Wen Zijin went to wash her hands, Yan Che seized the opportunity to ramble on and on about everything that had happened recently.
Wen Luozhi listened from the side with a furrowed brow.
Huh? Isn't it said that it's easy for a woman to pursue a man? Is her fifth brother really that hard to win over?
"And now my brother..." Before she could finish her question, he returned.
"What are you two talking about?" Wen Zijin came back and saw the two of them huddled together, and Wen Luozhi looked on with a gossipy expression.
His gaze shifted to another person, and Yan Che sat up straight, feeling guilty, and continued drinking his fruit tea.
Wen Zijin patted Wen Luozhi's head gently and said, "Don't ask such questions, you're just a child."
Yan Che, that loose-lipped guy, must have spilled everything that's been going on these past few days.
He felt a headache coming on just thinking about it if his sister went back and brought it up.
