Shocking! The school heartthrob who was adopted by a wealthy family is actually a heiress!

Chapter 181 The Matter Is Settled

Shen Yanci looked at her: "Do you really like me?"

Qin Zhao lowered his eyelids and paused for two seconds: "When you asked that question, you should have known that whether you like it or not is not important."

Even if I like it, my liking is nothing more than this.

"It's important!" Shen Yanci looked at her stubbornly, "Do you like me?"

Qin Zhao's mouth moved slightly, and Shen Yanci said, "Tell the truth, or I'll die a horrible death."

A flash of lightning cleaved through the gloom, piercing the darkness with a beam of light.

Qin Zhao: "Do you know how much pressure you put on me? Now that you're suffering, I'm not doing well either. Why bother?"

"Why? Why did we get to this point?" Shen Yanci's eyes glistened with tears. "Where did we go wrong? Where did we go wrong?"

"Qin Zhao, what exactly did I do wrong?!"

He was completely different from his previous aloof and composed demeanor, which made Qin Zhao extremely annoyed.

Shen Yanci: "If you don't want to have a long-distance relationship, I'll take the college entrance exam with you again."

Qin Zhao's pupils shrank, and his expression changed: "Shen Yanci, can you be this childish?"

She pursed her lips, her nails digging into her palms: "I initially approached you only because Lin Shi didn't like me. You're his good friend, and I wanted to start with you."

I never expected you to deposit 10,000 yuan into my account. You know, I've never seen so much money before. I thought you were just rich and foolish.

You're so easy to fool. I just glanced at the bracelet and you bought it for me. You send red envelopes without hesitation, give gifts without a second thought, and even offer free tutoring and help me out of a difficult situation.

I'm short of money, love, and grades, so why not take what's offered to me for free? I never expected you to like me and want to kiss me. Anyway, I'm not losing anything, and I'm under a lot of pressure, so I'll just kiss you.

“I have everything now. I don’t need you anymore, and you’re still heartbroken. You even dared to give up your future for someone who had ill intentions from the beginning. You’re incredibly stupid.”

"You're lying!" Shen Yanci's temple veins throbbed. "If you like money, why didn't you accept any of the many transfers I made? If you don't like me, why did you give me candy to coax me? Why were you sad because I got hurt? Why do you keep wearing the necklace I gave you!"

"Don't you like me a little more because of all this?" Qin Zhao smiled faintly, her eyes glistening with raindrops.

She glanced down at the necklace around her neck: "I just forgot about the necklace, I'm giving it back to you now."

She tried to untie the necklace, but perhaps because the more you want to do something, the less likely you are to succeed, she couldn't untie it after trying for a long time.

Feeling extremely annoyed, I simply grabbed the pendant and started pulling on it.

My neck was marked with red welts from being strangled; I don't know what it was made of that was so hard.

She seemed oblivious to the pain and used even more force.

"Enough!" Shen Yanci roared.

His jaw was clenched tightly: "If you think I'm easy to fool, why don't you keep fooling me!"

"I have everything. My mom, dad, and brother are all very good to me." Qin Zhao lowered her eyes. "I don't want you to kiss me anymore."

"Okay, very good." Shen Yanci chuckled, his eyes red-rimmed. "I've wronged you by making me kiss you so many times."

Qin Zhao pursed her lips and looked at the rain outside: "Do you still want the necklace? And the things you gave me before?"

"It's just trash, throw it away."

"it is good."

The rain intensified, and the only sound in the world was the patter of the rain.

Qin Zhao didn't bring an umbrella; she had originally planned to go home before it rained.

Shen Yanci took a bag with him; he didn't seem to intend to leave.

Qin Zhao lowered his head and stepped into the rain.

"Wait a minute." Shen Yanci called out to her, his voice hoarse, "I'll return your things to you too."

He took her hand, lowered his eyes, and untied the red string she had worn for a long time.

The movements were slow, yet so clear.

I paused for a moment when I took it off my wrist.

Qin Zhao turned his head away and didn't look.

Shen Yanci placed the red string in her palm and closed it: "We're even."

Qin Zhao's eyelashes trembled as she clutched the red rope, which still carried his lingering warmth.

The last time they settled their score was because she caused him to sprain his ankle and then blocked a flying ball for him; she shamelessly settled the score.

The previous settlement was just a holiday saga. This time, the settlement is truly over.

Their lives should never have intersected.

Shen Yanci's hem disappeared from her sight. She tried to grab it, but only grasped the damp air.

By some twist of fate, she has already gained more than enough.

It's just going back to where it was before.

Why is she so sad?

The rain was very loud, and the rain curtain obscured both the view and the sound.

Her shoulders finally trembled twice, and she burst into tears.

The umbrella lay askew at her feet, like a discarded symbol.

Are we really even?

—

She went upstairs like a puppet, put the red rope on the table, and went to take a shower and change her clothes.

Then I sat down at the table and forced myself to write the test paper.

That splash of red was glaringly conspicuous. She pursed her lips, put it in the drawer, and left only a small puddle of water on the table.

After the rain, the sky clears up.

She went to Xia Yaoyao's rented apartment alone.

Xia Yaoyao's mother arrived at the door and, after a moment's reaction upon seeing her, exclaimed, "Jiang Ye?"

Qin Zhao nodded.

"His dad!"

"What are you yelling about! I'm peeing!"

"Jiang Ye is here."

Xia Zhigang came out of the bathroom, pulling up his pants, without even flushing the toilet: "Coming."

Qin Zhao glanced at them: "Where's Xia Yaoyao?"

"You're really infatuated. She's pregnant and you're still thinking about her. That brat's got a tough life." Xia Zhigang's eyes darted around. "If you don't mind, just marry her. You can do whatever you want with her, how about it?"

"So that your family of vampires can find blood packs?"

Xia Yaoyao's mother was displeased: "How dare you talk like that! We are her biological parents!"

Qin Zhao didn't want to waste any more words: "Where is she?"

“Would we harm her?” Xia Zhigang said. “But we really don’t have the ability to make her life miserable. If you feel sorry for her, one million will make her yours.”

Qin Zhao chuckled: "Are you buying and selling people?"

“I’m trying to find her a good match,” Xia Zhigang said matter-of-factly. “Given her current state, no one else would want her.”

"His dad."

"That's for sure," Xia Zhigang said disdainfully. "It's all your fault. You can't even raise a daughter properly. She's so young and already sleeping with someone! And to make matters worse, she got kicked out while heavily pregnant! A family of spendthrift women!"

Xia Yaoyao's mother felt ashamed after being told that, and stubbornly replied, "That's still your daughter."

Qin Zhao didn't want to listen to their family's farce: "I don't have that much time to chat with you. Didn't you want to transfer money? Make her come out."

Xia Zhigang then gave up a seat: "It's inside."

The already small apartment was crammed full, with a sponge mat laid on the floor.

The four of them stood there, creating an indescribable sense of crowding.

Xia Yaoyao was sitting on the edge of the bed. When she saw her, she clutched her clothes and didn't dare to look at her.

Qin Zhaoqing looked at Xia Zhigang with her clear eyes: "What do you want from me? Say it again here."

Baby, if you don't like it, why do you remember all the good things he did for you? Would you need to remember so many details to lie?
