Other than the incident where Zhang Zhiyuan was beaten up, Zhang Yansheng had never taken the initiative to look for Xu Lichen.
In the past, they would often see each other in school, but in the past two days, Zhang Yansheng had been paying attention, but she had not seen Xu Lichen.
She had only seen him twice when they were doing exercises. Other than that, he did not appear outside the classroom as often as before.
Zhang Yansheng did not look for him again.
After receiving confirmation from Zhang Huan, she felt more at ease.
Everyone was an independent individual. Even husband and wife had times when they had to part ways, let alone friends from a previous life.
She could only do so much for him with her affection and help.
Because she had hired two tutors to make up for her classes, she did not have time in the afternoon or after school. She was busy from morning to night at school.
When she saw Xu Lichen again, it was already Saturday afternoon.
The phone rang. Zhang Yansheng picked it up. "Hello?"
Xu Lichen's voice rang out. "I'm outside your house."
Xu Lichen pursed his lips. He was thinking about what tone he should use to say, "Can you come out and see me?" …
But Zhang Yansheng had already said, "Got it. Wait there."
She hung up and changed her clothes. She grabbed a jacket and went out.
She bumped into Zhang Heling who was walking upstairs. "Sis, are you going out?"
"My classmate came to talk to me about something." Things had been going quite smoothly recently, so Zhang Yansheng was in a relaxed mood. He patted her head. "I'll be back in a while."
It was still quite cold outside. Zhang Yansheng wrapped her jacket tightly around her, walked through the front courtyard, and opened the small door.
A motorcycle that Zhang Yansheng was very familiar with was parked outside. Speaking of which, Xu Lichen was the one who had taught her how to ride a motorcycle.
But when she turned 18 and got her driver's license, she abandoned motorcycles.
The motorcycle was propped up on the ground. Xu Lichen leaned against the motorcycle with one leg straight and the other bent. He had a cigarette in his mouth. As he moved his lips slightly, a puff of white smoke came out.
Coupled with his handsome face and gloomy eyes, he was even more handsome than many of the male idols on TV.
But Zhang Yansheng felt that he was very stupid.
She walked over and asked, "Are you out of your mind for riding a motorcycle in such cold weather?"
Xu Lichen froze and tried to explain, "I didn't want my family to know where I went, so I didn't call the driver …"
She made it sound as if his parents were very concerned about his whereabouts.
In fact, he often went days without seeing either of them, wondering what they were doing or where they were. Vice versa, unless the school called his parents to ask them for help, they often didn't know where he was or what he was doing.
"Then, don't you know how to call a cab?" Zhang Yansheng questioned in his soul. "Don't tell me you don't even have an app to call a cab? Are you an old man who doesn't know how to use a phone? "
Zhang Yansheng snorted. How could she not know him? It's all about tone and 'acting cool'! Narcissist!
Xu Lichen had no way to defend himself.
He was the only child in his family and had a personal driver and car. He even rode a motorcycle, so he had no need to call for a taxi.
She felt like she was a retard in Zhang Yansheng's eyes.
How annoying! Xu Lichen was so angry that he took out his cigarettes, only to find that he was already biting one in his mouth.
He lifted his eyelids and offered it to Zhang Yansheng. "Want a cigarette?" Then he mocked, "Forget it, how could a good kid like you smoke?"
He was just pretending to mock Zhang Yansheng and was about to withdraw his hand as he spoke.
However, Zhang Yansheng took the cigarette and placed it in his hand. He smacked the cigarette with his other hand, causing it to spin and bounce up. He opened his mouth and bit on it.
Steady, steady!
"I misjudged!" Xu Lichen looked askance. "You're an old smoker!"
He knew this little trick. This wasn't something that could be done by smoking. It required practice, practice, practice, practice, and a lot of practice. It also required sufficient dexterity. He had a buddy who practiced for two years and still couldn't bite it.
Xu Lichen wanted to light Zhang Yansheng's cigarette, but Zhang Yansheng extinguished the lighter with the cigarette in his hand.
"How many times do I have to say it? Don't do that in front of me, "she said.
Xu Lichen really didn't understand. "What do you mean?"
"Smoking, drinking, riding a motorcycle, picking up girls, acting cool …" Zhang Yansheng listed. "You think you're special and mature? Let me tell you, a truly mature person will only laugh when they see this. "
Xu Lichen realized that he was already used to Zhang Yansheng's poisonous tongue. She was always very aggressive when facing him, and her words weren't polite at all. However, the strange thing was that Xu Licheng could always hear an indescribable familiarity and intimacy in her words.
He retorted sarcastically, "You're saying this as if we're not the same age. Why don't you tell me, what does a truly mature person mean? "
Zhang Yansheng actually gave this question some serious thought.
"It's probably like this cigarette," she said as she raised the cigarette in her hand.
"I can." She pressed the cigarette into a ball on the seat of the motorcycle. "But I can't."
Xu Lichen was a little surprised by her words. He stared blankly as he thought about the meaning behind her words.
Zhang Yansheng raised her hand and took the cigarette from his mouth and pressed it on the seat of the motorcycle. The burning cigarette burned a hole in the leather seat.
Xu Lichen didn't feel any heartache or anger. He raised his eyebrows and said, "Hey! How mature! "
In her previous life, Zhang Yansheng would burn the scar on her arm with a cigarette when she was unhappy. Later, Xu Lichen found out and didn't let her burn it.
He extended his arm to her and said, "Burn me."
Zhang Yansheng burned his arm. Xu Lichen didn't even grunt as he accepted it.
However, she only burned that one. Later on, when Zhang Yansheng was unhappy, she would burn Xu Lichen's clothes, Xu Lichen's school bag, and Xu Lichen's motorcycle seat leather.
Wang Qian stomped his feet and said, "Zhang Yansheng, don't go crazy!"
He then stomped his feet and said to Xu Lichen, "Why don't you say something to her!"
However, Xu Lichen only looked at Zhang Yansheng with a smile as he bit on his cigarette.
Zhang Yansheng could do whatever she wanted. She could be as crazy as she wanted. He would accompany her to the ends of the earth!
Zhang Yansheng looked at Xu Lichen's teasing expression and youthful face.
This wasn't companionship, nor was it mutual warmth. It was clearly two stupid children dragging each other down together.
Zhang Yansheng flicked the cigarette to the ground and said, "If you have something to say, say it."
Xu Lichen, who had just been arguing with her, fell silent.
Zhang Yansheng understood and asked, "You talked to your mother?"
Xu Lichen continued to remain silent. From the way he rubbed his fingers, it was obvious that he wanted to smoke to relieve his emotions.
Zhang Yansheng kicked him and asked, "What did your mother say?"
Xu Lichen finally looked up and said, "My mother knew about it a long time ago."
Zhang Yansheng sighed and said, "Your mother is very powerful." Without saying anything, she transferred the assets. Later on, she used a thunderous method. Although she didn't succeed, Zhang Yansheng admired her ruthlessness.
Xu Lichen looked down and said after a while, "She cried."
"In all my life, this is the first time I've seen my mother cry. I've never seen it before." The teenager's voice was filled with confusion. "I really didn't expect such a fierce person like her to cry."
"Nonsense." Zhang Yansheng said, "Why didn't you cry when you were upset? What did your mother say? "
"She told me not to alarm my father." Xu Lichen said bitterly.
Zhang Yansheng nodded and said, "So your mother … was prepared?"
Xu Lichen said, "Yes. She's definitely going to get a divorce. My mother can't take it anymore. It's mainly about the assets … "
Zhang Yansheng said without hesitation, "Don't be soft-hearted and don't be muddle-headed! You have to stand on your mother's side! You and your mother are a community of interests! "
As she spoke, she put her hands in her pockets. Usually, there was a car to pick her up and the school was heated. She always wore a thin jacket. When she left the school building, she would go to the gymnasium to exercise, so she didn't feel cold.
Now that she had been standing outside for a long time, she felt cold.
I should've worn a thick jacket, she thought.
Xu Lichen was about to say something when she suddenly heard the small door creak open. A voice called out, "Sister?"
The two of them looked towards the door at the same time.
Zhang Heling poked her head out and saw that Zhang Yansheng was indeed outside the door. She happily jumped out and said, "That's great, you're here!"
She held a long jacket in her thin arms and said, "I saw that you were wearing thin clothes, so I brought you a thick one."
This was exactly what Zhang Yansheng needed!
She took it and put it on. Then she heard Zhang Heling explain, "I didn't go into your room. I asked Aunt Luo to help me get it." In the whole family, only Aunt Luo was allowed to enter her room freely.
Zhang Yansheng paused and patted Zhang Heling's head. "Got it."
She thought that if Zhang Huan dared to treat Zhang Shuocheng more than Zhang Heling, she would beat him up!
She said, "You can go back. I still have something to do with my classmates."
Zhang Heling obediently agreed and said to Xu Lichen, "Hello, Brother. Goodbye, Brother!"
Xu Lichen's expression was slightly strange as he replied, "Goodbye."
Zhang Heling turned around and ran back. She was wearing thin clothes and it was really cold outside.
Zhang Yansheng turned around and found that Xu Lichen was still staring at their door. She shouted, "Hey!"
Xu Lichen glanced at her. He wanted to say something but hesitated.
Zhang Yansheng said, "If you have something to say, say it."
Xu Lichen said, "That's your sister?"
"Yes."
"She's … the one who doesn't have the same mother as you?"
Zhang Yansheng sneered at this question. "Your chauffeur is quite capable. Can he find out anything?"
"He doesn't have that ability." Xu Lichen said disdainfully, "Your chauffeur is quite tight-lipped. Our chauffeur only found out the name of your father's company."
He said, "But it's easy to find out the name of the company. I asked my father's secretary to find out. They're quite capable and are very well-informed. "
They knew the family name and company. Zhang Yansheng was sitting in a car that cost millions, so it was obvious that she was the daughter of a big boss. The secretaries had a wide network and could hear a basket of gossip just by making a round of phone calls.
So when Zhang Yansheng lied to Xu Lichen that she heard about their family from gossip, Xu Lichen didn't doubt it at all. Because their parents were actually considered people in the same circle.
"You can even find out our address? Is your father's secretary that awesome?" Zhang Yansheng asked.
She didn't really believe it. These secretaries were all very sophisticated and sly people. Xu Lichen didn't care about gossip, but if he asked for the address, these secretaries wouldn't give it to him even if they could find it. They were afraid that they would have to bear the responsibility if something happened.
They were all smart people and weren't stupid.
