Chapter 102: Chapter 82 Fate

With preemptive grace and impeccable manners, the students from No.1 High School, who prided themselves as cultured individuals, were at a loss on how to vent their frustration, especially in the presence of the girl before them whose demeanor was as elegant as fine jade, making it impossible to speak any ill words.

Some people were suspicious, was this Yhan Qingwu?

Then, the one reading the book was...

Yhan Qingwu closed her book and with a slight raise of her eyebrows, the radiant, clear light in her eyes subdued. She glanced at everyone, then stood up, raised her hand, and lightly brushed off the grass clippings from Sui Yi’s clothing.

Then she stood beside her shoulder to shoulder, facing Bai Lingshuang and the others with a serene smile on her face, "Do you need something from me?"

This really must be Yhan Qingwu, right? But who knew Second High School had another girl who could match her in grace?

Bai Lingshuang glanced between Sui Yi and Yhan Qingwu, feeling a slight weight settle in her heart, but her face still showed a smile, "Nothing much, we were just passing by to see. Hope we didn’t disturb you."

On their own turf, they couldn’t afford to lose face!

"Not at all," Sui Yi said indifferently, and then asked Lin Chuxiao and the others, "Shall we go?"

"Ah... Yang Ying was just about to come over..." Lin Chuxiao didn’t want to leave so soon. It was rare to spend time with the two hardest to approach individuals from Second High School and Yang Ying had even spent a lot of money to come here...

Since someone was coming, Sui Yi and the others naturally wouldn’t leave without them.

Coincidentally, a voice was calling out from behind Sui Yi.

"Sui Yi?"

Su Ziyi stood out in a crowd with his elegant demeanor, catching everyone’s eye. Upon seeing Sui Yi, he didn’t heed the calls of his classmates and ran over directly.

"How come you’re here? I just heard people talking about it and hardly believed it," he said.

Looking for me? That seemed unlikely... Su Ziyi glanced at the two beside Sui Yi and then at the basketball players below, deducing something.

Here to play, huh?

Sui Yi knowing Su Ziyi, No.1 High School’s top scholar, obviously made No.1 High School’s hostility towards them wane significantly, leading many to disperse not long after.

Bai Lingshuang looked over towards Sui Yi and her group, her eyes darkening before she finally left.

"Lingshuang, are you just going to leave like that? Su Ziyi seemed quite familiar with that Sui Yi..."

"Right, Lingshuang, you’ve liked Su Ziyi for so long, are you really going to let that Sui Yi, who just popped up out of nowhere..."

Once the people from No.1 High School learned Sui Yi’s name, they immediately associated it with that previous post, carrying some disdain for Sui Yi.

An underachiever, with ties to the social riff-raff, how could she compare to Lingshuang!

After all, Lingshuang’s grades belonged to the top ranks of No.1 High School!

After letting these people finish talking, Bai Lingshuang simply said,

"Who suits him best will naturally become clear during this exam."

Upon hearing this, they all laughed.

However, no one noticed the slight unease in Bai Lingshuang’s heart. For some reason, she felt that Sui Yi was an enigma; seeing her for the first time, she felt that Sui Yi was exceptionally outstanding, not at all inferior to Yhan Qingwu.

Could such a person really be the poor student from the rumors?

----------

Sui Yi explained the reason briefly to Su Ziyi who, after listening, offered to join them.

"I’ve played a bit of basketball too; if you don’t have a suitable choice and don’t mind my less-than-perfect skills, you could consider me," he suggested.

Given Su Ziyi’s enthusiasm, along with the intricate connections between his, Yu Hang’s, and Sui Yi’s families, Yu Hang and the others didn’t resist at all.

The five of them quickly started training, and because of Su Ziyi and the post-exam timing, even the other boys from No.1 High School began to feel the itch to play.

Perhaps, playing basketball held an attractive charm; many boys harbored such feelings. After having restrained themselves for so long, and with the exams over—though still with another day to go—they felt somewhat relaxed and took to the court in succession, forming two teams and starting to play.

At that moment, a breathless Yang Ying student arrived, her hands full with a big bag of grilled meat and drinks, running so hard she could barely catch her breath...

Upon arrival, she instantly regretted her previous actions.

Dammit, with so many people here, I should have eaten more barbecue before coming, now... is there any left for me?

----------

With roasted meat, drinks, and beautiful female classmates watching them play basketball, it was an exceedingly pleasant post-exam afternoon for some of the boys. They played freely, laughing and joking, even releasing some of the pressure that had built up since the start of their senior year.

Of course, there was also the joy of making new friends,

For Lin Chuxiao and Yang Ying, it meant they had hit it off with the two from Second High School.

By extension, they also got to socialize with the scholarly gods Yu Hang and Su Ziyi.

Damn, we are just brilliant!

Applause!

For Su Ziyi, it wasn’t a bad move to get into Sui Yi’s social circle. Yes, this friendship was now very secure.

And the other male students... well, Goddess Yhan had watched them play basketball, which was definitely something to brag about.

You must give a round of applause!

--------

The joyous afternoon still came to a time of farewell, as the sweaty boys said goodbye to one another at the entrance of No. 1 High School. Ah A didn’t ask anyone else to pick him up; he simply tucked his hands into his pockets and looked at Sui Yi with a smile, "Thank you for inviting me over."

"Hmm?" Sui Yi looked at him, initially puzzled, then burst into laughter; did this kid think that he was the one who asked him to find friends?

"This has been the most relaxing time I’ve had in years... of course, visiting your place is an exception,"

"It seems like when you came over last time, I didn’t treat you very well; instead, you ended up being a chef for a while"

Sui Yi felt that such an experience was rather upsetting for a guest.

It usually would have scared anyone else off.

"Ha, I don’t mind if you let me go to your house again to be your chef."

Sui Yi heard this and simply smiled without a word.

In response, Yhan Qingwu, standing next to Sui Yi, glanced at Ah A.

Ah A soon left, walking away leisurely like a swordsman alone on a flatboat.

As he left, he tossed back one more line, "Don’t forget our agreement."

Damn, that sentence successfully tugged at quite a few people’s hearts.

An agreement?

A date?

Not far away, Yu Hang left gritting his teeth... Chi Gao and Xiao Nan kept consoling him with thoughtful words...

"It’s fine... it’s just cooking and making meals~~ Although it’s said that capturing a woman’s stomach is akin to capturing her heart"

"No worries, although he looks good and has a nice build, and is pretty cool and dashing, not all girls like that. Sui Yi... probably feels the same way, I guess~~" with a tone that didn’t sound quite sure...

Emma, are you two trying to annoy me or kill me?

----------

"Where’s your driver? Or should I take you there?" Before this, Sui Yi had seen Yhan Qingwu make a call to her family driver, so now...

Yhan Qingwu smiled, "Aren’t you inviting me over to your place?"

"Hmm?" Sui Yi looked at her.

--------------

At the entrance of Bright Moon Community, Yhan Qingwu pointed towards the innermost part of the villa area, "If I said I live in one of those houses inside, would you find it quite amazing?"

As if a faint clue had cracked open, Sui Yi had a sudden realization; no wonder that time Yhan Qingwu’s driver, after dropping her and Sister-in-law Wang back, had that expression.

So they were actually in the same place.

"Not amazing... just feels like... fate," Sui Yi laughed, "So, deskmate, want to come sit at my place for a while?"

"Will you be the chef?"

Yhan Qingwu said with a teasing smile.

----------

Elder Tang’s arrival indeed made the old lady very happy; recently, Ah Yi had quite a few friends over, and that was a good thing,

Wang Pu and his mother had been staying at Sui Yi’s place for a while, becoming less restrained than before, but it wasn’t just the three of them in the villa.

There was also Elder Tang and the lawyer, Gao Wei.

When Elder Tang saw Yhan Qingwu, he was startled for a moment, his expression a bit strange, but he still glanced over at her from time to time,

Because there were many visitors that night, the old lady was very pleased and wanted to cook herself, with Sister-in-law Wang naturally helping. Initially, it was Yhan Qingwu’s playful remark, and Sui Yi had agreed, but it was called off because of Elder Tang’s arrival.

In the study, the property transfer documents and the issue with Qian Fengling needed to be dealt with, so Gao Wei was present.

Truth be told, Gao Wei had interacted with Sui Yi more than once before, and he had always thought this girl was out of the ordinary, but he didn’t expect that in less than a month and a half, there would be such a big change.

The three of them discussed continuously, and soon finished the property transfer, then talked about the Han Family’s affairs. The outcome was neither good nor bad; Han Tianshou wasn’t bailed out but was also hung up, unable to move.

Sui Yi nodded; no wonder these days Han Yuanchong seemed more and more arrogantly triumphant, probably sensing a change in the situation.

Li Run... Sui Yi narrowed her eyes.

"So the Li Family really has some tricks up their sleeve, able to sway the higher-ups’ will..." Elder Tang initially wanted Sui Yi to seek out Mr. Yi, but then thought it inappropriate and didn’t bring it up; he also didn’t wish for Sui Yi to pursue the matter any further, so he took a sip of tea and changed the subject, "What about the Qian Family matter, how will you handle it?"

Sui Yi tapped the table with her knuckles, silent for a while, then looked up at Gao Wei’s composed face, "It seems on the legal front, it’s quite unlikely for a heavy sentence, right?"

"Yes, even though many people saw Qian Fengling assaulting you, there are many ways she could be exonerated... However, I am confident I can make her assault charge stick, it’s just that they..."

Gao Wei glanced at Sui Yi, "Miss Sui previously gave them some strategic advice, and indeed, the Qian Family has now produced a mental health certificate for Qian Fengling, stating that she has mild mania and in specific circumstances, her emotions can become pathological, leading to extreme actions. In this case, the court is not going to charge her with intentional assault."

Sui Yi nodded; she had anticipated this, and didn’t mind the veiled sarcasm from Gao Wei, "So, this way, she can escape conviction, but she won’t appear in Nanxun again, right? After all, it’ll be impossible to keep this from the people of Nanxun..."

Hmm? Elder Tang and Gao Wei exchanged a look, so Sui Yi’s goal was...(To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for it at qidian.com. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users please visit m.qidian.com to read.)
