Chapter 1243 — The New Four Young Masters of Songshan
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
Of course, there was a reason Zhao Fafa had been so restless lately, and had named himself the head of the New Four Young Masters of Songshan! When his father Zhao Guangsi was clearing out their old house, he had come upon a genealogy of the Zhao clan. By its reckoning he recognized a branch of kin — a cousin and an uncle — and that branch was exceedingly formidable. So Zhao Guangsi had shot up in the world overnight, making the acquaintance of one social notable after another, and his company's business had suddenly expanded by no small measure!
And so Zhao Fafa had grown cocky along with him, feeling that he had now all but become a scion of a distinguished house, one of the leading young figures of the new generation in Songshan City!
His ego swelling, Zhao Fafa drove out of Changxiang Garden, and the moment he cleared the gate he spotted a pretty girl on the bus platform by the compound entrance, slender of figure and bright of face, and his heart was stirred at once.
But Zhao Fafa was a man with an eye for things as well. Only after studying Tang Zhi carefully for a while did he drive over to strike up a conversation.
In his view, the clothes Tang Zhi wore were a school uniform, so she must belong to the sort of family that was not especially well off; and she was carrying a lunchbox in her hand — how many students with money still brought their own meals these days?
And then look at where she was standing now: a public bus stop! That meant she must be waiting for a bus here.
If her family had money, then naturally there would be a car to ferry her to and fro, or she would drive herself; at the very least she would take a taxi to school. Waiting for a bus here said everything about Tang Zhi's family circumstances.
So, all things considered, Zhao Fafa concluded that winning Tang Zhi over should not be difficult. A girl who had never seen the world would lose her head the moment a little money came her way.
Tang Zhi glanced at Zhao Fafa in the Ferrari and made no reply.
She had not run into such a situation in a long while, though back in the shantytown she had met with plenty of it. That scoundrel Li Erlan had pestered her often enough — only after Wei Zhao gave him a sound thrashing did he no longer dare make trouble.
"Hey, beautiful, in a hurry to get to school? Let me take you — I've nothing on anyway! Don't be afraid, I live in this compound too, over on the villa side. Look, I've even got the villa-zone pass right here!" With that, Zhao Fafa waved the compound pass inside the car at Tang Zhi, indirectly showing her that he was no bad man, but her neighbor!
In this money-driven society, shot through with material desire, plenty of girls were vain, and Zhao Fafa had met all too many of them.
So as Zhao Fafa saw it, now that he had flashed his luxury car and his mansion, this little miss before him would rise to the bait if she had even a hint of vanity in her!
After all, even if nothing came of it between them, getting to ride a Ferrari to school was enough to furnish her with bragging rights to boast of before her classmates! And Zhao Fafa enjoyed the sport of the chase; the first time he would reveal nothing. Yet in his view, this sort of thing happened once, then twice, then a third time — and as the two met more and more often, few could keep from taking the bait.
Tang Zhi frowned. She had thought that if she paid him no heed, he would stop pestering her — after all, judging by this man with his fine car and his mansion, he did not seem the sort of street ruffian that Li Erlan or Zou Ruoming was. He ought to be a young master of some standing, and not so shameless as that.
