Chapter 995 — Diamond Cut Diamond

"This..." Wei Zhao gave a bitter smile. He had not expected Tang Zhi and Feng Xiaoxiao to clash—yet Shen Yushu and Feng Xiaoxiao had collided first!

Shen Yushu was a sharp little elf, and Feng Xiaoxiao was an elf who was sharp; the two were diamond cut diamond, neither willing to yield to the other. Before they even reached V, they had already started quarreling in the classroom!

Just when Wei Zhao was at a loss, someone came to his rescue—and that person was Xie Yufeng!

At that moment, Xie Yufeng stepped up onto the classroom podium, with Li Panghu and Wang Congming at his side.

"Everyone, quiet down! Young Master Xie has a few words for you all!" Li Panghu took the lead in announcing.

The classmates were all somewhat curious about this new transfer student, Xie Yufeng. Hearing that he had something to say, the students who had been packing their bags to go home all raised their heads and looked toward him.

"Hello, everyone! I have just joined this class and have nothing to offer you. As chance would have it, the school has organized a singing competition, so I would like to invite you all to V tonight to practice singing. I hope you will grace me with your presence!" Xie Yufeng addressed the students below with great elegance, as though it were not he who was inviting them out, but rather they who were doing him a favor by going.

It had to be said, this Xie Yufeng knew how to handle people! He instinctively made everyone feel favorably toward him.

After speaking, Xie Yufeng swept his gaze around the classroom, not letting it linger on anyone in particular—but what he was really watching was the activity around Wei Zhao! Seeing three beauties gathered around Wei Zhao, he could not help but feel somewhat displeased.

There were three class beauties in this class, and all of them seemed to have some connection to Wei Zhao. This made Xie Yufeng very unhappy!

Wherever he went, he was the center of attention, and beauties throwing themselves at him came in an endless stream. But here, because of Wei Zhao's presence, things seemed to have changed somewhat?

Xie Yufeng was Yufeng of the Yu family. He had come here and merely tacked a surname onto "Yufeng"—and Li Panghu and Wang Congming were naturally casually chosen names as well. Their true identity was that they were the children of servants of the Yu family!

The purpose of Yufeng's visit to Songshan City this time was to probe Wei Zhao's background, but he did not want this trip to be in vain—he wanted to have some fun! The Yu family's upbringing was rather strict, which had left Yufeng few opportunities to chase women. Though in his former school there had also been beauties throwing themselves at him, for fear that his father would find out, Yufeng had not dared to go too far, and only occasionally indulged in the likes of one-night stands.

Now that he had come to Songshan City, far from the emperor and his court, Yufeng truly wanted to enjoy himself thoroughly—especially after discovering that there were so many beauties in the class!

Of course, Yufeng had already chosen two targets. One was Gu Pengzhan's daughter, Gu Mengyao—if he could play around with Gu Mengyao, that would indirectly vent some of Yu Kun's grievance. The other target was naturally Wei Zhao's girlfriend!

Though Yufeng still did not know which one Wei Zhao's girlfriend was, it did not matter—whichever girl was close to Wei Zhao, Yufeng would have her. Though he could not confront Wei Zhao head-on, making him a cuckold and disgusting him was a rather good opening tactic!

Xie Yufeng's words received a response from many people, both boys and girls. Getting to go out and relax without spending money was not a bad idea at all!

What disappointed Xie Yufeng, however, was that among the classmates who came to join him for singing, there were no Wei Zhao, Gu Mengyao, Shen Yushu, or Feng Xiaoxiao!

Through Wang Congming's inquiries, Xie Yufeng had already learned who Gu Mengyao, Shen Yushu, and Feng Xiaoxiao were.

Gu Mengyao might actively respond to activities organized by the school, but she naturally had little interest in informal activities organized by classmates, and she was not familiar with Xie Yufeng either, so naturally she would not go to V with them to sing.

"All right, Xiaoshu, stop quarreling." Gu Mengyao gave Feng Xiaoxiao a meaningful look. She did not know when Feng Xiaoxiao had become Wei Zhao's little wife, but Feng Xiaoxiao kept insisting that Tang Zhi had certified it—which struck Gu Mengyao as rather strange! Would Tang Zhi really let Feng Xiaoxiao be Wei Zhao's little wife?

To Gu Mengyao, this was somewhat inconceivable! Feng Xiaoxiao had not attended school for a while now, and Gu Mengyao had even forgotten about her. She did not think Feng Xiaoxiao would have any dealings with Tang Zhi, so this matter was very strange!

Seeing Wei Zhao's expression—neither admitting nor denying—the young lady felt somewhat uncomfortable inside. If Wei Zhao had not previously risked his life to save her, she might very well have turned on him on the spot!

But she did not. She merely instructed Xiaoshu lightly not to quarrel anymore.

"Yaoyao, this Feng Xiaoxiao is very suspicious. I suspect she has ulterior motives—we cannot bring her along!" Shen Yushu looked at Feng Xiaoxiao with open hostility. This little wench wanted to snatch her position as little wife—how could she let her succeed?

"Forget it. Let's go find Tang Zhi first." Gu Mengyao felt that whatever Shen Yushu and Feng Xiaoxiao were squabbling over now was pointless. Once they saw Tang Zhi, what Feng Xiaoxiao really meant would become perfectly clear.

"Oh, then I'll let you play the little wife for a while and enjoy yourself!" Shen Yushu said to Feng Xiaoxiao.

"I think you're the one lost in fantasy. If I'm the little wife, then who's the big wife? Don't tell me it's Gu Mengyao? As far as I know, she's only Wei Zhao's employer! You two really can dream!" Feng Xiaoxiao shot back, refusing to yield an inch.

Shen Yushu was about to say something, but Gu Mengyao stopped her: "Xiaoshu!"

"Oh." Shen Yushu glared at Feng Xiaoxiao, then took Gu Mengyao's hand and left the classroom with her. Wei Zhao gave a bitter smile and followed.

There was nothing he could do about Feng Xiaoxiao. Not in front of her could he explain the reasons to the young lady and Xiaoshu; he would have to wait until they returned to the villa that evening and tell them in detail. Otherwise, who knew how many misunderstandings would arise in the future!

Over on Xie Yufeng's side, though he was chatting enthusiastically with some of the boys and girls in the class and discussing which V to go to, the corner of his eye was fixed on Wei Zhao and the others as they left the classroom.

Hmph, enjoy your moment of glory while it lasts, Xie Yufeng sneered inwardly and withdrew his gaze. He did not call off his own activity just because Wei Zhao, Gu Mengyao, and the others had not joined the one he organized. Wei Zhao might not be taking part, but Xie Yufeng was no fool. He needed to build goodwill with his classmates; only that way could he secure his footing in the class and make things go smoothly for him in the future!

Wei Zhao, Gu Mengyao, Shen Yushu, and Feng Xiaoxiao left their classroom and arrived at the door of Grade Twelve, Class Nine.

By then Tang Zhi had already packed up and was waiting at the classroom door with her backpack on. Seeing Gu Mengyao and Shen Yushu, she smiled and nodded to them.
