Chapter 237: The Unwelcome Real Gold of the Wealthy Family (8)
After the door next door was closed, Gu Zhen hummed softly, wiped a few tears, and happily transferred all the money to a card.
After a good night's sleep, when I woke up the next day, I found that the Liu family's attitude towards Gu Zhen had obviously changed.
Regardless of whether she did it willingly or just pretending, Si Xiuying no longer dared to show her favoritism blatantly.
Although the tone was still a little stiff, it was at least acceptable.
Gu Zhen would not insist on it and said a few nice words. The family of five had a harmonious breakfast together.
On the way to school, Liu Yunshu was also concentrating on reading. She took the initiative to explain the questions that Gu Zhen couldn't do, and this time she explained it at the level of the top student in the grade.
The days finally calmed down.
After the second class, the students came back from morning exercises. Gu Zhen also became familiar with the students, and they talked and laughed as they walked to the classroom together.
When they reached the door, everyone looked over and saw a tall figure standing there with an unopened ice cream in his hand.
Those who were curious immediately looked at Liu Yunshu.
Liu Yunshu also put on a gentle smile and smiled at him.
Xie Jinchuan followed everyone's gaze and fell on Liu Yunshu. He took a look and seemed to have seen her before, but he couldn't remember her name.
I looked back again and finally found the target.
He walked over and stuffed the ice cream into Gu Zhen's hand.
"I'll pay you back. We're even."
"......" Gu Zhen was silent. He didn't expect this person to be so serious. Is it that serious?
Xie Jinchuan ignored everyone's gossiping gazes, put one hand in his school uniform pocket, turned around and walked towards his class.
"Zhenzhen, I didn't expect you knew Xie Jinchuan? I thought he was here to see me! Last time he helped me, I didn't even say thank you to him properly."
Liu Yunshu just took the initiative to say hello but didn't get a response. She felt embarrassed and came over to make herself felt.
Gu Zhen curled the corner of his mouth and ignored her shy smile.
Everyone gathered around Gu Zhen, curious about why this rumored school bully suddenly came to give her ice cream.
Gu Zhen had no choice but to avoid the issue of Xie Jinchuan climbing over the wall and casually said that it was the other party who knocked her ice cream away.
Soon, the news spread, and it became known that Xie Jinchuan had lost interest in the school belle and had changed his target to the school belle's newly-recognized sister.
Some people also say that the school bully has changed his approach and is planning to get along well with the younger sister to save the situation in a roundabout way, all in order to pursue the school belle.
Gu Zhen didn't take it to heart. Xie Jinchuan had nothing to do with the main storyline.
Summer vacation is coming soon, and she still has an exam to prepare for, so she has to hurry up and review.
......
In the blink of an eye, Gu Zhen had been back at the Liu family for a month.
During this period, the family got along well with each other. Whenever there were conflicts, they were resolved with money.
Although the money Gu Zhen had was not enough to buy a house in Beijing, it was enough to rent a house. She was planning to bring the Gu family under her watch.
After the test results came out and summer vacation began, Gu Zhen packed up everything and rushed to Yishui Village without stopping.
Although the Liu family had some opinions, what Gu Zhen said was correct. One should not forget one's roots. After all, they raised the children and should go back to visit them.
Liu Yunshu sat in the corner of the sofa with her head down and didn't say anything. She didn't forget her roots, so who was the one who forgot her roots?
She felt better when she thought that Ming Ruhe would be back soon.
Gu Zhen didn’t know what everyone was thinking, she was looking at her paper in the car!
This question shouldn't be wrong.
After the results came out, everyone was quite surprised. Although Gu Zhen's score and ranking were the last in Class 8, he would have been ranked first in a regular class.
Compared with her performance in Yishui Village Township Middle School, the improvement is significant.
Gu Zhen asked the driver to stop and wait in the city. She ran to the mall to do some shopping. She bought clothes and shoes for her parents, from head to toe, and also bought a new cell phone and new clothes for her brother.
I bought a lot of food and daily necessities and didn't stop until the trunk was full.
While passing by a street, Gu Zhen saw a familiar figure carrying goods in and out.
Big bags of mineral water were pressed on his shoulders, but the boy's thin body was still straight. Sweat wet his hair on his forehead. His T-shirt was tied at his waist, revealing his strong abdominal muscles.
Because of the "scandal" between the two, Gu Zhen had heard a lot about Xie Jinchuan.
His parents died in a car accident, and they were at fault. They paid a lot of money in compensation. He and his grandmother were the only ones left at home to depend on each other. Because of his grandmother's illness, all the relatives had to stay away from her.
The family's financial situation was really difficult. After selling the house, Xie Jinchuan and his grandmother rented a bungalow. I heard that the rent was raised by the school teachers.
Xie Jinchuan's academic performance was good when he entered school, but it plummeted later. His family suddenly encountered a change of fate. The young man was strong-willed and saw the ugly faces of his relatives. He gritted his teeth and refused to bow his head. He used his thin shoulders to carry the sky for his grandmother.
Thinking of this, Gu Zhen admired him quite a bit, but she didn't know what the future would be like.
While waiting for the traffic light, Gu Zhen looked out the rear window and saw Xie Jinchuan lifting his hair and lifting his shirt to wipe his face.
It seemed like his cell phone was ringing, and he answered the call while carrying a bag of water.
Then, he was seen throwing the water away and running hurriedly to the street, as if he wanted to hail a taxi, but there were not many cars on the road at that time, so there was no taxi passing by.
Gu Zhen realized that something must have happened to his grandmother. As an old lady, she also had a heart disease, so some accidents were bound to happen.
"wait for me."
Gu Zhen opened the car door and ran while shouting, "Xie Jinchuan! Here! I'll take you there!"
Xie Jinchuan was anxious and panicked. He didn't hear anything at first until Gu Zhen grabbed his arm and then he reacted.
"Hurry up, get in the car!"
Xie Jinchuan was sweating all over. Even in such a hot day, his hands and even his arms were cold, which showed how nervous he was.
Gu Zhen stuffed him into the passenger seat; the back seat was filled with stuff and there was no room for two people.
"Thank you." Xie Jinchuan said in a low voice with a trembling voice.
The hospital said that my grandmother suddenly fainted and her condition was very serious. If she didn’t have surgery, it might be too late.
But where can he get hundreds of thousands of dollars...
Xie Jinchuan gritted his teeth to stop himself from crying. His grandmother was his only relative in this world.
The car drove all the way into the hospital. Gu Zhen asked the driver to wait and she followed with her bag on her back. Xie Jinchuan was tall and had long legs, and he drove very fast. She was panting and could barely see his back.
At the door of the operating room, the boy's back looked thin and fragile. The doctor said that he had been saved for the time being and hoped that his family could raise the surgery fee as soon as possible.
Xie Jinchuan nodded like a puppet and sat on the chair, all the energy in his body almost drained away.
He took out his cell phone and dialed the number he had never dared to make.
The cell phone was very old and the receiver was loudly external. The sound of mahjong tiles being rubbed came from the other end of the line. A burly man asked him, smiling, how much money he planned to borrow.
Gu Zhen sighed, walked over, snatched the phone and hung up.
Xie Jinchuan stood up suddenly, his eyes were red and his chest was heaving, obviously he was very anxious.
"I'll lend it to you." Gu Zhen said seriously, "Isn't it just 300,000? I'll lend it to you."
Xie Jinchuan’s first reaction was to refuse. What qualifications did he have to ask for other people’s money? But was borrowing from a loan shark the right choice?
"My interest rate is also very high, but I can give you a few more years, Xie Jinchuan. Your grandmother's life is important, but she certainly doesn't want you to sacrifice your whole life for her."
Is loan sharking something a high school student can touch?
Xie Jinchuan's eyes were filled with tears, and all the hardships he had experienced in the past two years came flooding back to him. The boy squatted on the ground and burst into tears. His parents were dead, and all the burdens of the family were placed on a boy who was only sixteen years old.
These three hundred thousand may be the last straw that breaks the camel's back.
Gu Zhen almost guessed why he fought with others and hurt others.
"Cry, everything will be fine after crying."
After Xie Jinchuan vented his anger, he thanked Gu Zhen with red eyes. Gu Zhen went with him to pay the surgery fee and left some cash.
"I will work hard to make money to pay you back, really, please believe me!" Xie Jinchuan was very sincere. He wrote an IOU and pressed his fingerprints.
Gu Zhen believed him.
"I don't want you to drop out of school to work. When you were in the first year of high school, your grades were top-notch. It's not too late now. If you can get the top score in our city, will you still worry about not being able to pay the money back?"
"Xie Jinchuan, come on, I'm waiting for you to pay me back the high interest." Gu Zhen smiled sweetly, dispelling the dull atmosphere.
The girl smiled sweetly, her eyes sparkling, full of encouragement and trust, and Xie Jinchuan couldn't help but smile.
He will.
