Hong Kong 1980: Me and the Queen Swapped Clothes

"Yes, that's why I said there's no way to deal with people like that." Wang Zuxian deliberately echoed him. In fact, Wang Zuxian had long disliked people like Lu Yuan. No matter what, these kinds of people kept coming out one after another to cause trouble for her.

Just like this time, only this time it was Qin Weiming who was unlucky. But Wang Zuxian would never stand by and watch the show, so she cooperated with Qin Weiming.

Looking at Joey Wong in front of him, Lu Yuan finally showed a look of sorrow. Obviously, he did not understand why Joey Wong, whom he had tried so hard to please, did not understand his thoughts at all, and even cooperated with Qin Weiming to humiliate him.

The bespectacled boy was also taken away by the security guard. He tried to beg for mercy, but Wang Zuxian felt sorry for him. However, Qin Weiming blocked the bespectacled boy's pleading eyes, then took Wang Zuxian's hand and left.

After thinking it over, Joey Wong decided to leave with Qin Weiming. After all, she knew very well that, no matter what, she and Qin Weiming were on the same side.

Especially since the other party was targeting him, Qin Weiming could only be considered an innocent bystander who was caught in the crossfire. On this point, Wang Zuxian unconditionally chose to stand on Qin Weiming's side.

"Are you alright?" Joey Wong asked Qin Weiming as they walked.

"It's alright, but that person, since he's targeting you, you need to be careful during your commute to and from school," Qin Weiming said earnestly to Wang Zuxian.

Without even thinking, Joey Wong replied, "What do I have to worry about? Won't you give me a ride?"

"Why didn't you say that earlier?" Qin Weiming asked in surprise.

Wang Zuxian's matter-of-fact attitude, in particular, left him both amused and exasperated.

There had been no discussion between the two of them, but now Wang Zuxian was saying that it was his duty to take her to and from school. How to put it, Qin Weiming felt quite used to it, as if Wang Zuxian had always been like this.

"Now that you've heard that, I think you'll be the one taking me to and from school from now on," Wang Zuxian said immediately, her tone quite clear. Strangely enough, Qin Weiming didn't dislike her tone at all.

Qin Weiming crossed his arms and stood in the most crowded spot at the school gate. He looked at Wang Zuxian, who was also riding a bicycle, with a hint of speechlessness: "If I keep taking you to and from school like this every day, your parents will probably find out about me in no time."

"So what? Do you think they don't know now?" Wang Zuxian was calm about this. She felt that Qin Weiming had underestimated his parents.

So, on the third day after Qin Weiming took Wang Zuxian home.

Wang Zuxian didn't meet Lu Yuan, but Qin Weiming met Wang Ma.

"Young man, are you the male classmate who's been bothering my Xiaoxian these past few days?" Wang Ma was a tall, thin woman. Her gaze towards Qin Weiming was full of scrutiny and dissatisfaction.

Qin Weiming, however, tactfully dismounted his bicycle first, then greeted her before turning his gaze to Wang Zuxian: "I hope Xiaoxian can explain this matter to you, Auntie."

"Mom, this is what happened. It's not Ah Ming's fault. I asked him to take me to and from school." Wang Zuxian immediately recounted what had happened between her and Qin Weiming. After hearing about Lu Yuan's deeds, Wang's mother's expression relaxed slightly, and she was no longer as wary of Qin Weiming as before.

Seeing Qin Weiming's proper posture, which remained unchanged, Wang Ma's expression became somewhat embarrassed: "Young man, I'm sorry, I misunderstood you. I thought you were one of those naughty kids who always bothers our Xiaoxian, so I was a little harsh with you."

"Auntie, it's alright. I'm a boy, it's normal to get a few comments, especially since you're just concerned about Xiaoxian. Oh, if Xiaoxian needs someone to escort him next, I can find a classmate to go with him, that way people won't gossip about me and her." Qin Weiming thoughtfully offered a suggestion, which made Wang Ma slightly tempted, and she looked at Qin Weiming with even more satisfaction: "Could you find a female classmate? That would be much better."

If two boys were with Joey Wong, there would be even more gossiping neighbors, which would be detrimental to her reputation.

Aunt Wang was really worried sick about Joey Wong, so Qin Weiming readily agreed: "Of course, no problem. I'll look for someone when I get back."

"That's not necessary. I can contact Mengdie myself. Why bother with others?" Wang Zuxian didn't seem to care. She knew her mother was bothered, but she was always unhappy with the gossip from neighbors and parents: "They're unhappy about who I'm close to, and they all come to you and talk about me. Does that mean I can only be alone and have no friends? Then they'll say I'm aloof, won't they?"

"Xiaoxian, how can you talk like that? They're just concerned about you and have good intentions." Wang Ma immediately turned serious, probably because she felt that Wang Zuxian's way of speaking in front of Qin Weiming was very rude, and her tone was unusually stern.

This was the last straw for Joey Wong. She had always been pampered at home and had never suffered such harsh treatment before. She was quite unhappy listening to her mother's words.

"Mom, they started by saying bad things about me, and I didn't do anything wrong," Wang Zuxian said angrily.

Qin Weiming glanced at her and mouthed a reminder not to argue with Wang Ma at this time. She was Wang Zuxian's biological mother, and while she didn't have the power of life and death over her, she would certainly give Wang Zuxian a lecture when they got home.

Wang Zuxian rolled her eyes and gave up her dislike for Wang Ma. Even though she was still very dissatisfied, she at least did not continue to resist Wang Ma openly.

Seeing Wang Zuxian's appearance, Wang's mother sighed inwardly, but didn't say anything. She saw through Wang Zuxian and Qin Weiming's private interactions perfectly, but still couldn't be bothered to say anything about them.

Since they were all young people and classmates, and Wang's mother was an open-minded person, she only took Wang Zuxian home and thanked Qin Weiming before leaving.

Once home, Wang's mother questioned Wang Zuxian: "Is that senior who used to call you so often the same Ah Ming? When did you two meet, and how come you ran into each other at the new school?"

"How would I know? It was an accident, and you saw him today too. If you don't like me associating with him, I won't associate with him." Wang Zuxian really didn't want to talk to her mother today.
