Chapter 748: Chapter 747: Quite Active
Next day, early morning.
Liu Zheng and Zhao Xueping arrived at the school, at the classroom door.
"You two are quite eager today!"
"Don’t pretend you don’t know, it’s almost eight o’clock," Liu Zheng said, not in the best of moods.
Zhao Xueping retorted, "Do you think everyone is as lazy as you?"
"So what if I’m lazy, at least I don’t squabble with a bunch of girls," Liu Zheng replied.
Just then, a stunningly gorgeous woman with a voluptuous figure approached Liu Zheng, her lips curling into a smile as she said, "Mr. Wang, you really are humorous."
As she spoke, she purposefully thrust out her chest, displaying her impressive cleavage.
Liu Zheng was completely baffled.
The woman’s voice was eerily familiar.
"Do we know each other?" Liu Zheng inquired.
"I’m Su Lingyao. Mr. Wang, you sure are forgetful, don’t you remember me?"
"Oh, it’s classmate Su Lingyao. What are you doing here?"
"I’m obviously stalking you!" Su Lingyao said with feigned annoyance.
"Huh... stalking me? Why would you be stalking me?" Liu Zheng asked, a bit confused.
At that moment, Li Yu’er walked up to them and addressed Su Lingyao, "Su Lingyao, you don’t need to follow him anymore; he doesn’t even recognize you. Besides, I am his fiancée!"
Hearing this, Su Lingyao’s eyes lit up, and she exclaimed, "Yu’er, you’re actually Mr. Wang’s fiancée? I never heard you mention that!"
After speaking, Su Lingyao turned to Liu Zheng and said with a smile, "Mr. Wang, I apologize, I had no idea Yu’er was your fiancée, I meant no offense!"
Liu Zheng waved his hand dismissively, "No need to be formal, Su Lingyao classmate, actually, I found out today as well. By the way, I don’t even know your name."
"I’m Su Lingyao. Mr. Wang can call me Lingyao, or even Yao Yao if you like," Su Lingyao replied with a smile.
"Lingyao."
"Mr. Wang, what’s your phone number?" Su Lingyao asked.
"I have two phone numbers, the one I give you now, I wonder if you can track it down?" Liu Zheng asked.
"No problem at all! I’m a professional hacker, you know!" Su Lingyao said with a laugh.
...
"Junior sister, what are you doing? You’ve been chatting with this guy for so long, and you’re both having such a good time!" At that moment, a rather pretty girl came over and questioned them.
"I..."
Su Lingyao was just about to explain.
However, the girl interrupted her, saying coldly, "Humph! I see, our big star is seducing guys again. Don’t think just because you’re a celebrity you can flirt carelessly, drawing attention everywhere. Do you even realize that many rich second-generation guys are pursuing us because of our stardom?"
Su Lingyao was infuriated by the girl’s words.
"That’s nonsense! I didn’t!"
Having said that, Su Lingyao ran off.
...
Liu Zheng glanced at Su Lingyao’s retreating figure, shaking his head.
The girl seemed lively and cheerful, but she was actually quite petty. By not paying her any attention, he had made her dislike him even more. It would be best to keep his distance from her in the future.
Then Zhao Xueping moved closer to Liu Zheng and asked, "Master, seeing as she’s a big star and you’re so close to her, aren’t you worried about the media catching you together?"
"Don’t worry, she’s a magnanimous girl, she won’t let false reports spread," Liu Zheng reassured her.
"Hmm, I hope so," Zhao Xueping said.
"By the way, how did you injure your arm?" Liu Zheng inquired.
"I accidentally hurt it while shopping on the street yesterday afternoon, it’s already been bandaged," Zhao Xueping replied.
"How did you run into hooligans, though?"
"I don’t know, I was just buying things when suddenly a van dashed out, and then I was hit and injured!" Zhao Xueping explained.
"Just be more careful in the future," Liu Zheng advised.
"I will."
...
After a short while, Zhao Xueping suddenly asked, "By the way, Master, aren’t you participating in ’The Voice of Huaxia’ anymore?"
"I’ve decided to withdraw from the competition," Liu Zheng said.
"Withdraw from the competition? Master, how could you do that?" Zhao Xueping hastily said, "You must never give up!"
"I have already decided."
"But, your scores are still above the cut! It’s such a pity to give up like this. What if you could advance further!" Zhao Xueping urged.
"It won’t happen." Liu Zheng shook his head.
Zhao Xueping sighed deeply.
At this moment, a ringtone broke the silence between the two.
The call was from Zhao Xueping’s father, looking for Liu Zheng regarding an issue.
"Um... Master, should we head back to the dorm first?" Zhao Xueping said.
"Yes, that sounds good." Liu Zheng responded.
...
After Liu Zheng and Zhao Xueping left, Li Yu’er and Su Lingyao exchanged looks.
Li Yu’er turned to Su Lingyao and asked, "Su Lingyao, why are you so hostile towards Brother Wang? Did he offend you?"
"No, how could I dare to target Mr. Wang? I just think Mr. Wang is quite handsome!" Su Lingyao said.
"You like Brother Wang?"
"Exactly!" Su Lingyao admitted frankly.
"But Brother Wang already has a fiancée, and besides, you and he are just business partners. Surely you don’t lack that much confidence!" Li Yu’er said.
Su Lingyao’s expression changed several times, but she finally managed to restrain her anger and said, "Of course I have no problem. It’s just a fiancé, right? Since he already has a fiancée, I’ll just take him away!"
Hearing this, Li Yu’er was completely defeated by her and said, "Su Lingyao, you are simply unreasonable. I think you should give up this unrealistic fantasy sooner rather than later!"
...
Back at the dorm.
Liu Zheng closed the door.
"How about it? Was I right or not?" Zhao Xueping asked.
Liu Zheng replied, "Not bad."
"Hehe..." Zhao Xueping chuckled smugly.
"By the way, Zhao Xueping, there’s something I want to ask you." Liu Zheng suddenly asked.
"What is it?" Zhao Xueping inquired.
"I just saw Su Lingyao walking out of the classroom with another girl." Liu Zheng asked.
"I know this girl; her name is Lin Jiajia. Her family owns a company. Her father is the vice president of the Southern China region. She and Su Lingyao are classmates, and they’ve been very close since their freshman year. They often go shopping for clothes together, and they also share something in common—they are both extremely beautiful and are considered big beauties!" Zhao Xueping explained.
Liu Zheng was stunned after hearing Zhao Xueping’s description!
It seemed that Su Lingyao really was a troublemaker, not only capturing his attention but now the attention of other girls as well. And the two of them shared the same advantage: they were both big beauties.
Just then, Liu Zheng suddenly remembered the keychain hanging from Lin Jiajia’s chest!
The design of that keychain was identical to the one he had given to Su Lingyao.
Could it be... that Su Lingyao and Lin Jiajia were the same person?!
If Su Lingyao was also Lin Jiajia, why wouldn’t she tell him, instead of pretending not to know him?
Liu Zheng couldn’t figure it out and couldn’t understand, so he simply stopped thinking about these vexing issues.
"By the way, Zhao Xueping, I will be heading to the capital tomorrow," Liu Zheng told Zhao Xueping.
"You’re leaving tomorrow? But Master, didn’t you just say you were going to participate in the ’Huaxia’s Good Voice’ finals? Why have you changed your mind now?" Zhao Xueping exclaimed in surprise.
"Because... I don’t want to settle for third place," Liu Zheng said.
"What?!" Zhao Xueping said in shock, "How can you do that? We fought so hard for this opportunity; how can you just give up so easily?"
"I know, my performance wasn’t good enough, and the way things are going, I definitely won’t win a prize. But I’m not satisfied with that," Liu Zheng said.
"Then why don’t you keep trying for a higher honor?" Zhao Xueping said.
Liu Zheng sighed and replied, "I have tried, but it was no use."
"I see..." Zhao Xueping said. "Master, don’t give up. I believe that you can definitely win first place."
Liu Zheng nodded and said, "I believe that too, so I will try my hardest!"
Upon hearing this, Zhao Xueping immediately smiled and said, "Right, that’s the spirit, you can do it!"
"Thank you, I will," Liu Zheng replied.
Zhao Xueping said, "But, Master, what have you been so busy with these days? I heard from the teacher that you asked for leave last night to rest at home. I thought you were sick."
