Chapter 436: Chapter 436: Is This a Love Letter?_1

Time flew by and in the blink of an eye it was the third day after the New Year, which was February 8th.

Wang Ye was about to return to Moscow.

After all, he had a lot on his plate and couldn’t "disappear" for too long. Otherwise, things would probably get chaotic in Moscow.

In the past couple of days, several phone calls have been made, asking when he’d be back.

However, before returning to Moscow, Wang Ye still had one thing to do...

......

In the afternoon of the 8th, Zhang Xiaoxi was relaxing on the living room sofa watching TV when her cell phone rang.

She glanced at the screen. The caller ID showed "Pig Head."

That was the nickname she’d given Wang Ye in her phone contacts...

She quickly answered the phone, but before she could even speak, she heard Wang Ye’s voice.

"Xiao Xi, are you home? Can you come out? I’m waiting for you at the entrance of the Hutong."

"Huh? Yes, I’m home, what do you need..." Zhang Xiaoxi’s words were interrupted by the "beep beep beep" of the busy signal.

Clearly, the other person had already hung up.

She angrily threw the phone onto the sofa, causing it to bounce high in the air.

Her mother, who was sitting next to her, quickly asked, "What happened, Xiao Xi? Who was that on the phone?"

"It’s Pig Head! Oops... No, it’s a high school classmate of mine." Zhang Xiaoxi couldn’t help but laugh as she spoke.

Her mother gave her a suspicious glance, not sure what her daughter was up to.

"Oh, I’m off out for a bit." Saying that, Zhang Xiaoxi stood up.

"Where are you going?" Her mother asked.

Zhang Xiaoxi hesitated briefly but eventually answered honestly, "Um, the classmate who just called is downstairs. He said he needed to see me."

Her mother perked up right away, further questioning, "A male or female friend?"

"Male."

"Why don’t you invite him in? He’s right outside the house, it would be rude not to." Her mother commented.

Visibly annoyed, Zhang Xiaoxi waved her off, "Don’t worry about it, mom."

Just as she was about to leave, she seemed to remember something. Zhang Xiaoxi turned around to the full-length mirror, straightened her clothes and brushed her hair again.

Watching her daughter’s actions, her mother couldn’t help but feel suspicious.

After tidying up herself, only then did Zhang Xiaoxi get ready to leave the house. Just when she was at the door, her mother eases her head to ask, "Are you coming back home tonight?"

Zhang Xiaoxi stumbled a bit, nearly tripping over.

She turned around, with a wry smile, and said, "Mom! What are you talking about? Of course, I’m coming back home!"

Her mother then nodded approvingly, relieved, "That’s good... that’s good. Of course, you can go out with your classmates. But take care..."

But before she could finish, Zhang Xiaoxi had already walked out the door.

Her mother could only shake her head and sigh, "The child has grown up and has her own thoughts."

......

Zhang Xiaoxi hurriedly went to the entrance of the Hutong, and she saw the familiar black Mercedes-Benz parked there, with the car window rolled down and Wang Ye sitting in the driver’s seat, smoking and waiting for her.

She slowed down, looking from a side angle. Wang Ye now looked much different than in high school.

Back in high school, Wang Ye was handsome, but his charm was of youthful vitality.

But now, even though he was only nineteen, he exuded a mature and steady vibe.

Especially when he was deep in thought while smoking, anyone beside him would surely not notice his age.

When she reached the car, Zhang Xiaoxi called out to Wang Ye.

Wang Ye turned his head, faintly smiled at the sight of Zhang Xiaoxi, stubbed out the cigarette in the car ashtray, and leaned over to open the passenger side door, indicating for Zhang Xiaoxi to get in.

Zhang Xiaoxi hesitated for a moment, but eventually climbed in.

"You called me, is there something you need?" Zhang Xiaoxi asked, turning to Wang Ye.

"Of course, there is."

As he spoke, Wang Ye reached into his pocket, pulled out a kraft paper envelope, and handed it to Zhang Xiaoxi.

"Uh... this..." As if she recalled something, Zhang Xiaoxi’s face turned bright red.

The envelope seemed to burn her hands.

"What’s wrong?" Wang Ye asked in surprise.

Zhang Xiaoxi turned her head away, looking out the car window with the back of her head towards Wang Ye, and said, "If you have something to say... you can just tell me straight. Why did you write... write a letter..."

Actually, she wanted to say "love letter", but after some hesitation, she replaced it with "letter".

After all, it was still uncertain whether Wang Ye had written a love letter or not. It would be embarrassing if he hadn’t.

Wang Ye’s face was full of confusion. "What letter are you talking about? Open the envelope and see! It’s a cashier’s cheque! Didn’t I say I want to donate one million US dollars to the school for building a gymnasium? This is the money. But I have to go back to Moscow soon, so I wanted to trust you with this task..."

He explained his intentions all in one breath.

It turned out, Wang Ye wasn’t here to give Zhang Xiaoxi a "love letter"...

He simply didn’t want, and neither did he have the time, to handle the money donation himself, so he entrusted Zhang Xiaoxi with it.

Listening to Wang Ye’s explanation, Zhang Xiaoxi’s mouth hung open wider and wider.

After Wang Ye finished speaking, it took her several seconds to react. Pointing to herself, she exclaimed, "You’re entrusting me with such an important matter? A million US dollars, are you serious?"

Zhang Xiaoxi indeed didn’t expect Wang Ye to actually donate one million US dollars. Even though she constantly supported Wang Ye’s idea in the class group, she was still trembling when she finally got a million-dollar cheque in her hands.

Wang Ye laughed a little and said casually, "Yes, do you think I was joking? Why not give it to you? Do you plan to run away with this cheque? Surely not, after all you are a top scholar from Tsinghua, and after graduation, you’re going to earn a lot more than this, haha."

After pondering for a moment, Zhang Xiaoxi also laughed.

Right, she would never run away with this money. Although what Wang Ye said might not necessarily be true, because she might not earn as much money after graduation...

Regardless, she would never do such a thing.

But this Wang Ye was really bold, he casually managed such a large amount of money and such an important matter?

"Why not, you should personally hand this over to the school. Having donated so much money, the school would surely hold a grand celebration and maybe even ask you to share your success story with our juniors." She said, smiling.

Wang Ye shook his head repeatedly and waved, "No! That’s exactly what I’m afraid of! I’m leaving for the capital tomorrow. You can visit the school in a few days. Talk with Teacher Liu about this, he should know what to do. Moreover, this matter should be best not to be publicized, but please make sure to tell the school that this money is earmarked! When I come back in a few years, I want to see a beautiful gymnasium!"

As he continued speaking, Wang Ye’s face became a bit stern.

Because if he didn’t emphasize it, God knows where this money would end up being used.

If the donation was put to good use, like constructing gyms, dormitory buildings, etc., he would donate another large sum of money to the school in a few years!
