Chapter 693: The Proud Miss

Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Zhang Mei’s brother was not oblivious to the fact that Gu Shan, the old fox, was deliberately provoking him. The red envelope, which was supposedly a token of goodwill from two people, was clearly a bribe he had given to Gu Shan in exchange for his assistance.

However, in the current situation, he had no choice but to respond with a forced smile, “Indeed, how could we arrive empty-handed? I was in such a hurry that I simply filled a red envelope.”

Gu Zi didn’t hesitate to accept the envelope, saying, “Uncle, you are too kind. Since this is a token of goodwill from my elders, I have no reason to refuse. If you are leaving, allow me to see you out.”

After seeing the two men out, Su Li emerged from the dining area, asking his elder brother, “Brother, I remember our results should be out tomorrow morning, and the class divisions announced. Why did mom say the results would be out in the afternoon?”

He didn’t believe that his mother would let others use these two spots, but he was genuinely confused by her actions. Why didn’t she simply refuse?

Su Bing returned to the dining table, picked a few strands of pickled vegetables for his younger sister, Su Le, and watched her eat with her spoon. He said, “Mother is simply deceiving them, buying time until the class divisions are finalized tomorrow. Then, it won’t be as simple as just switching spots. This way, mother doesn’t have to have a falling out with them, and this matter will naturally pass.”

Su Li suddenly understood and gave a thumbs up, “Our mother is truly brilliant!”

As Su Bing sat down to eat, he found his brother’s chatter slightly annoying. However, as soon as his brother finished speaking, another loud voice entered Su Bing’s ears as their mother returned from seeing off the guests.

“You must have known I was coming today and waited for me at the door, right? At least you have a conscience. I took time out of my day to visit you, after all, you are my good friend. Now that you’ve moved to the city, I can’t just ignore you…”

Su Bing looked up to see his mother’s good friend, Gong Xin, had arrived.
