Hearing a male voice call her name, Xin Yu didn't pay much attention, thinking that if another "male Gao Min" appeared, she really wouldn't have the energy to deal with it.
"Junior Sister Xin Yu..." The gentle voice rang out again, and it was very close to her.
Xin Yu quickly looked up and saw Cheng Che's smiling blue eyes, and of course, she also felt the intense gazes of Gao Min and the other girls.
"Senior Brother!" She instinctively stood up and nodded slightly.
"So polite!" Cheng Che gave Xin Yu a deep look, then scanned the entire classroom with his eyes, finally nodding almost imperceptibly towards a corner.
Just as Xin Yu was about to turn around, Cheng Che said, "Junior Sister, something came up. Could you come out for a moment?"
"Oh." Xin Yu nodded quickly. She guessed why Cheng Che had come, so as soon as she stepped outside, she proactively admitted her "mistake," "Um... Senior Brother, I'm sorry, I didn't get a chance to speak up for you when I was having dinner with our mentor yesterday, so..."
"Heh..." Cheng Che really wanted to raise his hand and tap Xin Yu, who was now slightly bowing her head. "What? Is that why you're being so polite?"
"Ah!" Xin Yu scratched her head sheepishly. That habit of hers was simply something she'd developed while working at the Chuan Yi Club.
"Cheng Che." He extended his hand. "I graduated from our teacher's place three years ago and now work at the Cheng Group."
Xin Yu was taken aback, realizing that this was the proper etiquette. Sure enough, Mu Yichuan was a rude jerk!
Cheng Che noticed the dark glint in Xin Yu's eyes, his brow twitched, and he was about to withdraw his hand.
She smiled, extending her hand. "Xin Yu, Senior Brother, nice to meet you."
The two exchanged a harmonious smile, only to be ruined by Gao Min, who suddenly stormed out. Xin Yu met her disdainful gaze and sighed inwardly.
"I have class soon, Senior Brother, you..."
"There's something I wanted to ask you if you're interested," Cheng Che interrupted Xin Yu. "To be honest, it's a little embarrassing, but my nephew is looking for a private tutor for traditional Chinese painting, and I saw your resume at the teacher's..."
A tutor?! Xin Yu blinked, her bright eyes instantly lighting up with excitement!
"I'm willing!" Xin Yu nodded frantically, almost hugging Cheng Che tightly. "I started learning to paint at five, and I painted traditional Chinese paintings for ten years. I still paint occasionally!"
Unfortunately, all her paintings and tools were thrown away by Mu Yichuan, that scoundrel! Cheng Che chuckled, his blue eyes, like a vast, azure sea, gazing intently at Xin Yu, who shone with confidence. She truly was… different!
"I know," he said, a hint of unconscious indulgence in his voice, which he himself didn't even notice. "Then it's settled. You don't have class tomorrow, I'll take you to see him."
After saying goodbye to Cheng Che, Xin Yu returned to her seat to continue her lesson, her eyes crinkling with a smile, her mind already racing with money.
"Mu Yichuan, I'll show you that even if you leave me penniless, I can still earn it all back!"
"Xin Yu, you're really good at playing the innocent white lotus. You say you don't know what a sweetheart is, but you're probably not a virgin anymore, right? Humph! So disgusting!" Gao Min leaned closer, her posture like a domineering judge pronouncing human sins.
Raising an eyebrow coldly, Xin Yu said indifferently, "Gao Min, I—" Did I offend you? Even her roommate is picking on her like this! Before she could finish speaking, Xin Yu's phone vibrated. "Xin Yu, HR has screened your resume and wants you to come in tomorrow to sign the contract!"
"Really? Yuanzi, thank you so much!" Xin Yu suppressed a laugh, put away her phone, and refused to look at Gao Min again.
But the latter gritted her teeth. She refused to believe that Gao Min was inferior to Xin Yu in any way!
Why didn't she have Chanel, or a handsome senior brother?!
Xin Yu wasn't thinking about such things. She just wanted to be independent again and get away from Mu Yichuan.
However, she didn't know that while she was happily planning her future, someone had already reported her whereabouts to Mu Yichuan.
"Mr. Jiu, Miss Xin Yu did not stay overnight at the Nanlong Villa last night."
Mu Yichuan, who was signing the contract, tightened his grip, and a dangerous aura instantly filled the room…
