Chu Zheng smiled, went to the bathroom to get a broom, cleaned up the fragments, and then returned to his pure, innocent lamb appearance, his lip corner’s smile clean and gentle: “If Miss Xu is fine, I’ll head out. Jia Jia arranged for me to tutor her tonight, and I’m about to be late. Goodbye, Miss Xu.”
“Bastard!”
Xu Jing was so angry her head was steaming. Unable to find anything to throw, she grabbed the IV bottle and recklessly threw it in the direction Chu Zheng had left.
The IV bottle flew straight out, pulling the needle inserted in her hand, tearing open a wound with blood spattering everywhere.
Chu Zheng paid no attention to anything behind him, walking out leisurely, just meeting the nurse who had run over after hearing the noise. His expression instantly changed to one of concern, apologetically saying: “Please go check. I don’t know if I said something wrong that made Miss Xu angry again.”
Chu Zheng stood with his backpack at the Xiangxie No. 17 villa complex, obediently calling Chen Jing: “Senior, I’m outside the door. Could you come down and meet me?” Chen Jing leaned against the headboard, unwilling to move, lazily took a drag of her cigarette, and softly exhaled, laughing: “No, senior is a bit tired and doesn’t want to go down. Be good, let the housekeeper come and pick you up.” “Okay.”
Chu Zheng looked at her red lips exhaling smoke with a dark, indecipherable gaze, licked his dry lips, and said in a hoarse voice: “If senior is tired, just sit there and wait for me. I’ll be right up.” Chen Jing smiled: “Okay, I’ll sit still and wait for you.” After she hung up, Chu Zheng leaned forward, pressing against the cold iron gate in front of him, and took a deep breath.
“Are you a classmate of the young lady?” To facilitate taking care of Chen Jing, the housekeeper was an old butler who had served in the Chen family mansion for decades, watching Chen Jing grow up. His feelings for this child were like those for his own grandchild, so naturally, he was very attentive. The old housekeeper squinted his somewhat cloudy but still sharp eyes: “The young master of the Chu family, Chu Zheng?”
