Chapter 657: Chapter 655: Kind Father 34
Not familiar?
Watching Ah Chen get into Zhuo Qiaoqing’s car, Li Feiwei also climbed in.
He trusted what the senior said, but something was definitely off about that person.
"Did you see that kid leaning against the wall?" Li Feiwei glanced at a certain spot outside the school, pointing out Du Tianyu’s features, "The one with the blond hair."
The driver glanced over, his expression strange, but he still responded, "Boss, any instructions?"
"He’s been watching my senior for a week; there must be something wrong. Find a way to dig into it."
"Okay, boss." The driver agreed, and in his mind, he had eight ways to inquire, surely one would work.
However, this time things went beyond the driver’s expectations; after using up all eight methods, Du Tianyu stubbornly refused to reveal the real reason. Even after getting beaten up, he only said that Ran Chen is very pretty, and it’s normal to have a few admirers, right?
It’s not only Li Feiwei who didn’t believe it; even the people tasked with asking didn’t believe it.
"Boss, I don’t know why, but this kid is really tight-lipped; no matter how we threatened him, he wouldn’t reveal a thing."
Li Feiwei was also somewhat surprised; what could it be that keeps Du Tianyu so determined?
"Forget it, let him go."
"Keep an eye on him afterward."
He’ll slip up eventually.
Du Tianyu returned to his rental room, exhaling deeply. Actually, apart from beating him and some intimidation, those who took him didn’t do much else.
He initially thought they were ruthless, and coming out of there might mean broken limbs or even death, but unexpectedly, he came out so easily.
Why were they asking about Ran Chen?
He certainly didn’t dare to say a word. If it were against Ran Chen, it would be imaginable how big the impact would be if things got out of hand.
The last time Ma Zihou took Ran Chen away, besides him, none of his friends noticed her face. Otherwise, during the previous online scandal, they should have recognized her, which is undoubtedly good news.
This secret will rot in his heart.
Ma Zihou was arrested, and Ran Chen didn’t come out to accuse him of anything; Ma Zihou definitely wouldn’t add more charges against himself.
"Boss, that kid lives a very regular life and hasn’t had much contact with anyone recently; he’s also not been hanging around the school entrance. However, Wei Yue went to see that kid, but the two didn’t seem to have a good relationship."
"We found out that originally that kid used to go to the orphanage from time to time, but after the online scandal, he visits less."
Du Tianyu could not blame Ran Zhengfeng but didn’t owe those orphanage kids anything.
In fact, he hadn’t forgotten the headmistress; he just visited her when the kids went to school.
Seeing that there was nothing to find out, Li Feiwei lost interest.
The final exams were coming up soon; he needed to study hard, strive for good grades to make the senior happy.
Since the senior helped him with questions, his results had improved rapidly.
As per Ah Chen’s plan, she ranked third in the class in the final exams.
Li Feiwei improved a lot, but since he didn’t study much before, the foundation wouldn’t be made up quickly; achieving top grades required a considerable effort and time.
Li Feiwei sighed at the report card, thinking if he had known he’d meet the senior, he wouldn’t have handled it so haphazardly in the past.
"With your foundation, getting such results is already quite good; progress every time is all that matters," Ah Chen comforted.
Li Feiwei smiled and nodded, indeed feeling comforted.
Thinking about the upcoming holiday, he felt a bit unhappy. He didn’t like summer breaks; they were too long.
"Ran Chen!" Chen Yijia came rushing from behind, hooking Ah Chen’s shoulder, "I’ve already told you the time, remember my birthday, I’ll call you a day before."
Ah Chen agreed, indicating she wouldn’t forget.
Noticing Li Feiwei’s gaze, Chen Yijia explained, "I’m celebrating my eighteenth birthday during the summer break. Li, would you like to come to the party?"
The senior would be going, so naturally Li Feiwei had to go as well.
Chen Yijia was pleased, "Great, the day before, I’ll call you both to remind you so you won’t forget."
Thanks to Ah Chen, Chen Yijia and Li Feiwei interacted more, becoming quite familiar over time.
The days quickly passed, and the day before Chen Yijia’s birthday, Ah Chen received a call from her early in the morning: "Ran Chen, don’t forget my birthday party tomorrow. I’ll arrange for a car to pick you up, it’ll be more convenient."
She had to admit, Chen Yijia was very thoughtful.
Ah Chen smiled and agreed, "Okay."
However, shortly after, Chen Yijia called again: "Li said he’ll take you there tomorrow since it’s on the way. Have you arranged everything? He said he sent you a message."
Ah Chen opened the message; Li Feiwei was saying, "Senior, I’ll take you tomorrow since it’s on the way."
Ah Chen told Chen Yijia, "Okay, I’ll go with Li. You’ll probably be busy tomorrow."
If she didn’t agree with Li Feiwei, who knows how dark he’d become inside.
Early the next day, after breakfast, Li Feiwei’s call came in. She took her gift downstairs and found Li Feiwei waiting at the community gate, not wearing his school uniform today, looking quite sharp in a suit.
Ah Chen was also in a little dress, with light makeup. After all, wearing a school uniform to a birthday party wouldn’t be appropriate.
She actually liked the school uniform quite a bit; it was comfortable and not easily soiled.
Li Feiwei was momentarily stunned when he saw Ah Chen; it was the first time he’d seen her dressed so elegantly, and she looked stunning! His heart raced uncontrollably, and when Ah Chen approached, he hurriedly opened the car door.
Arriving at the Chen family villa’s entrance, Ah Chen saw Chen Yijia waiting outside.
As soon as Ah Chen got out of the car, Chen Yijia ran over.
Initially planning to extend his arm to Ah Chen, Li Feiwei’s expression darkened as his gaze swept past Chen Yijia. Watching Ah Chen and Chen Yijia so friendly, he sighed. Forget it, the senior and Chen Yijia are just close.
He decided not to fuss with Chen Yijia; otherwise, it might upset the senior.
Just a mere Chen Yijia, not even a guy, he could bear with it.
Ah Chen sensed something, calling to Li Feiwei, "Li, follow along."
Li Feiwei quickly walked to her side. There were quite a few peers today; even Wen Zhixi and Jiang Fang were there. They noticed Li Feiwei too, Jiang Fang was a bit surprised, wasn’t Li Feiwei rare in such settings? In their circle, Li Feiwei wasn’t particularly impressive.
Li Feiwei seemed to have noticed something, looked back at Jiang Fang without any expression, but moved closer to Ah Chen and whispered something in her ear.
Jiang Fang’s expression changed; could it be that Ran Chen really had feelings for Li Feiwei? Otherwise, why would they be so close? She had never been seen this close to any other male before.
"Senior, what gift did you prepare?" That’s what Li Feiwei was actually asking.
Hearing these words, Chen Yijia was also extremely curious, her eyes fixed on the bag in Ah Chen’s hand.
Ah Chen handed the bag to her, "Here, you’d better wear it immediately after opening it."
"Since it’s from you, even if it’s a piece of plastic, I’d wear it immediately." Chen Yijia raised her chin.
She called a few familiar friends, taking Ah Chen and others upstairs, while Li Feiwei felt it inappropriate to follow, so he found a place to sit.
Just then, two kids around fourteen or fifteen appeared upstairs; they were Chen Yijia’s twin siblings, Chen Xue and Chen Chen.
Chen Yijia clearly didn’t like them much, but hearing them say happy birthday, she still said thank you.
In the room, under the watchful eyes of several girls, Chen Yijia unwrapped Ah Chen’s gift.
It was a crystal necklace, delicately crafted. Even if the crystal wasn’t expensive, Chen Yijia loved it, immediately putting it around her neck, feeling it matched her outfit perfectly today.
"Ran Chen, where did you buy this? The design is so unique." One girl inquired, thinking to herself, if the crystal were replaced with another gemstone, it might look even better.
"The design was mine; I had someone make it." Ah Chen answered; in fact, she made it herself.
She had a reason for giving this.
She had a vague feeling, today she might find out why Chen Yijia suddenly went abroad.
She leaned toward Chen Yijia, whispering something in her ear, and though no one else heard it, Chen Yijia’s eyes widened, and she started fiddling with the necklace incredulously, making the curiosity of the surrounding young girls piqued.
