Huo Beichen was a little angry. "We don't keep dirty people in our house."
Ning Meng lowered her shoulders weakly.
She felt that no matter how bad a student was, she would not steal or rob. She had overestimated human nature.
Zhang Ke Ke had stolen Huo Beichen's money just to avoid getting beaten up?
Ning Meng sighed.
Huo Beichen could not be bothered to call the police over 500 RMB, but he still looked at Ning Meng deeply before walking out.
Ning Meng quickly picked up her bag, changed her shoes, and followed behind him. "Is there anything else missing?"
Huo Beichen glanced at her. "A bottle of red wine is missing."
Red wine?
Ning Meng gulped. "Which year is it? How much is it?"
"It's 85 years old. It's not expensive."
Ning Meng let out a sigh of relief when she heard that it was not expensive. He then continued. "It's only a few tens of thousands. Luckily, I didn't take the 78 years old."
"…"
This time, she could hear the sarcasm in Huo Beichen's words.
She looked like a student who had done something wrong. She lowered her head, feeling uncomfortable no matter how she thought about it.
Huo Beichen looked at her dejected look and snorted. He put his hands into his pockets and walked forward lazily.
When they arrived at school, they saw Zhang Ke Ke sitting in her seat.
When Zhang Ke Ke saw them, she greeted them timidly, "Big Sister."
Ning Meng looked at her, not knowing what to say. She felt awkward. It was as if she was the one who had stolen the money and the wine … She looked at Huo Beichen, and he gave her a look. His meaning was obvious. She must have thought that they did not notice that the money was missing.
After all, Huo Beichen had a few thousand RMB in his wallet. It would not be easy to notice that 500 RMB was missing. The red wine was also in the wine cabinet. Who would go there and count it?
Ning Meng could not help but look at Huo Beichen. Why was this guy counting money in the morning? Why would he go to the wine cabinet to count the money?
There was only one possibility.
He must have heard the noise or seen Zhang Ke Ke's strange behavior.
Ning Meng felt a surge of warmth in her heart.
500 RMB and a bottle of red wine were nothing to him. However, after spending some time with him, Ning Meng realized that Huo Beichen was not someone who would squander his money.
If it was someone else, he would have called the police on the spot. After all, that bottle of red wine was quite expensive.
However, he didn't grab Zhang Keke.
He had always disliked Zhang Ke Ke and had never spoken more than ten sentences to her. Therefore, he did not expose her for Zhang Ke Ke's sake, but for his own sake.
This guy looked as arrogant as ever, but he was actually very considerate and knew how to take care of people's emotions.
Ning Meng let out a sigh.
She nodded at Zhang Ke Ke and sat next to him.
Zhang Ke Ke seemed to be a little uneasy. She kept moving back and forth during the lesson, sneaking a peek at Ning Meng from time to time before turning back again.
At noon, seeing that Ning Meng did not do anything, she seemed to be relieved.
When the bell rang for the end of the fourth period in the morning, she walked over and said, "Big Sister, let me treat you to lunch today."
Ning Meng was stunned.
She glanced at Huo Beichen.
Huo Beichen sneered and ignored her. He stood up lazily and followed Su Ye out of the classroom.
Ning Meng kept quiet for a while and said, "Okay."
No matter what, after spending half a month together, she had developed some feelings for Zhang Ke Ke. She might as well make things clear during lunch today.
When they went downstairs, Ning Meng asked, "Where are we going to eat?"
Zhang Ke Ke said, "Don't you like barbecue? I'll treat you to barbecue. "
"You're treating me?"
Ning Meng was stunned.
Zhang Ke Ke nodded. "Yes, I'll treat you, big sister."
She reached out and held Ning Meng's arm. "Actually, my dad was released two days ago."
Ning Meng was stunned.
Zhang Ke Ke then said, "The police are very powerful. My dad has already admitted his mistake. After he was released, he gave me 500 yuan to treat you to lunch."
"??"
She looked at Zhang Ke Ke in disbelief.
However, she did not expose Zhang Ke Ke's disguise. She nodded. "Is that so?"
Zhang Ke Ke smiled. "Yes. Dad said that he won't hit me again."
After saying this, she lowered her head. "He won't hit me again. He promised me. So, I won't go back to the villa tonight. "
Ning Meng nodded.
The two of them arrived at the barbecue buffet. There were not many people queuing up, so they quickly found a table. After they went in, Zhang Ke Ke went to carry a big pile of meat.
Streaky pork, tenderloin, and all kinds of meat were available.
Zhang Ke Ke Ke smiled and picked up the meat for Ning Meng. "Sis, you eat."
After eating a few mouthfuls, Ning Meng looked at her. "Why aren't you eating?"
Zhang Ke Ke stared at her. "I'm not hungry."
After saying this, she took a sip of the free drink and looked around. Suddenly, she said, "When my mom was still alive, she wanted to bring me here to eat barbecue a few times."
Ning Meng was stunned.
Zhang Ke Ke smiled. "Unfortunately, my dad was very strict. He took away all the money we had. So, we never had the chance to eat."
After saying this, she stuffed a piece of streaky pork into her mouth. Her eyes were filled with amazement. "It's delicious!"
Ning Meng still did not say anything. She took the iron chopsticks from Zhang Ke Ke's hand and continued to roast the meat.
Zhang Ke Ke Ke's mouth was full of oil. After living with Ning Meng recently, she finally had a smile on her face. She looked at Ning Meng with a pair of obedient eyes. "Sis, thank you for taking care of me all this time."
Ning Meng did not say anything.
After eating, Zhang Ke Ke Ke was like a contented child. She walked in front of Ning Meng, jumping up and down. She looked very happy.
She turned to look at Ning Meng and sighed. "Today is the happiest day I've ever had!"
During the afternoon class, Ning Meng noticed that Zhang Ke Ke had changed into a different person.
It was as if she had finally broken free from her shackles. When the teacher asked her a question in class, she would always lower her head to the table, but now, she was struggling to raise her hand.
The teacher seemed to be surprised. She called her name and asked her to read an English text.
Zhang Ke Ke read the text with difficulty, but she was very serious. After she was done, she sat down with a red face. It was obvious that she was very happy.
Soon, school was over. Zhang Ke Ke hugged her bag and waved at Ning Meng. "Sis, I'll be leaving first."
Ning Meng nodded.
Zhang Ke Ke Ke walked out of the classroom. When she was at the door, she suddenly stopped, turned around, and bowed deeply to Ning Meng.
