Chapter 123 — The Zhong Father and Son [Asking for Monthly Tickets, Five Updates Done, Tang Yun Asks Everyone, Do You Have Any Monthly Tickets...]

Although Wei Zhao did not really feel much pain, he still gave a bitter smile. Tang Yun clearly could not stand the sight of him. That morning he had still been dreaming of developing a pure and innocent romance... and it had been shattered so quickly.
It looked as though Tang Yun was most likely out of the question, which left only Shen Yushu, and she did not seem very likely either...
"Boss, why does Tang Yun seem to hold such a grudge against you?" Kang Xiaobo had never been able to figure it out. Wei Zhao and Tang Yun had not known each other before, so why had Tang Yun been glaring at Wei Zhao from the very moment they met?
"If I knew that, would the problem not already be solved?" Wei Zhao explained with some exasperation.
"That is true, but hey? Boss, do you think it is possible that Tang Yun likes you?" Kang Xiaobo suddenly said.
"Huh? Likes me? What makes you say that?" Wei Zhao froze and stared at Kang Xiaobo in astonishment.
"I heard about a guy from a few classes above us. There was a girl in his class, the study rep, who liked him, so she was always picking on him. Whenever he skipped class or anything, she would give him a good lecture..." Kang Xiaobo said. "Do you think Tang Yun could be the same way?"
Wei Zhao rolled his eyes. You have to take things case by case, do you not?
"What you describe is possible enough, but Tang Yun has only known me for two and a half days, and she already likes me? Is that possible?" Wei Zhao shook his head. If you put it that way, the young miss finds fault with me all day long too, so does that mean she likes me as well?
"That is true enough..." Kang Xiaobo gave two dry laughs and walked on toward the school together with Wei Zhao.
When they were almost at the school gate, Kang Xiaobo suddenly pointed at a spot not far ahead and said, "Boss, look, it is Gu Mengyao and Shen Yushu..."
"Oh..." Wei Zhao had been keeping Gu Mengyao and Shen Yushu in the corner of his eye all along, so he was not surprised at all.
"Eh? Boss, look, the car they are riding in looks just like the one you were riding in just now." Kang Xiaobo's powers of observation were still quite sharp.
"Really? Not quite the same, is it?" Wei Zhao laughed it off. "Come on, forget about them."
"True enough. They are too far above us, not realistic." Kang Xiaobo sighed with a world-weary air. "That lofty, high-above-us feeling of rich people, I know it all too well..."
Wei Zhao had no idea why Kang Xiaobo would suddenly let out such a sigh. Judging from their contact over the past few days, Kang Xiaobo's family background could not be called especially good, but it could not be called bad either. It was middling at best, so what did he mean by that...
But in order to keep Kang Xiaobo from fixating on the car, Wei Zhao did not ask any more questions, and quickened his pace with him into the school.
A Mercedes-Benz S600L stopped not far from the front of the school, still some distance from Uncle Qing's Bentley, and did not pull any closer.
"That old bastard Li Fu's car is up ahead, so I will not drive over. Did you remember what I told you or not?" Zhong Fabai glared at his son in the passenger seat and lectured him with the bitterness of a father disappointed in his son.
"I remembered... Dad." Zhong Yongliang answered carefully. "I will not meddle in that idle business anymore..."
By idle business he naturally meant the affair with Wei Zhao. He dared not say that he himself had wanted to make trouble for Wei Zhao, and instead pinned the blame for picking a fight with Wei Zhao on Zhang Naipao. Zhang Naipao had gotten his foot stepped on by Wei Zhao, so he had only gone to get back his honor for him. That way he could lighten some of the responsibility on himself.
