Chapter 2066: So You’re the Easy One? (Second Update)
Deliberate, Bai Xi definitely did it on purpose!
At this moment, Liu Ruoxue was about to explode with anger.
However, since it concerned her son He Jiarong’s future, she couldn’t just leave in a huff!
"Xiao Bai, I know you’re the best, help me out." Liu Ruoxue hugged Bai Xi’s arm, acting all coy.
Witnessing this scene, Zhang Fan felt a thousand alpacas racing through his mind.
Oh my god, Auntie, you’re almost forty, what are you being coy about!
Honestly, Zhang Fan felt a chill inside.
But immediately, Zhang Fan also took small sips of tea, becoming a spectator to the drama.
As for Liu Ruoxue and He Jiarong, he didn’t have much feeling towards them!
Bitterness and deep-seated grievances? Not exactly.
At best, just someone seeking a slap in the face while patting their own back.
If Mom asks for help, it’s not out of the question!
Someone like He Jiarong is barely worth his attention.
After all, in these two years, he hasn’t seen anyone visiting them.
Someone coming to visit, without Mom kicking them out, indicates a decent relationship!
Face has been slapped, show has been put on, as long as these two don’t continue to mess up, he doesn’t mind lending a hand to give mom a bit of face.
"Xiao Bai! Xiao Bai! Say something." Liu Ruoxue pouted, looking pitifully at Bai Xi.
Seeing this, Bai Xi could only smile bitterly.
Liu Ruoxue was her college classmate.
In the past, their relationship was quite good.
But since Liu Ruoxue got married, she became obnoxious.
Later, Liu Ruoxue moved to Italy with her husband and became unbearably arrogant!
But every year, they still kept in touch somewhat.
However, every time they connected, it was just to show off!
Just like today, so she wasn’t too fond of Liu Ruoxue now.
But thinking of past friendship, Bai Xi’s heart softened a bit.
After all, this involves He Jiarong’s future.
But then Bai Xi felt a wave of helplessness.
You two scolded Professor Huang right to his face, how am I supposed to help you!
Also, it was her first time meeting Huang Shansheng.
To be honest, she genuinely didn’t know that Zhang Fan was Huang Shansheng’s student.
If she helps plead for He Jiarong, would Xiao Fan end up offending Huang Shansheng?
That’s a problem!
Can’t sacrifice her son’s interest just to help Liu Ruoxue.
Then Bai Xi looked over at Zhang Fan.
Seeing his mom’s gaze, Zhang Fan instantly understood.
"Mom really is gentle and kind," Zhang Fan thought.
But at the same time, Zhang Fan poured Huang Shansheng a cup of tea, grinning cheekily: "Old Huang, this kid was recommended by your old friend. Ignoring him would offend your friend."
Hearing this, Liu Ruoxue’s eyes suddenly lit up with hope.
Over the years, she had seen a lot.
She knew exactly what Zhang Fan’s words implied!
He was helping her!
"Hehe, that old thing Mellen, even if he came to me personally, I wouldn’t care." Huang Shansheng snorted.
"Oh, Old Huang, getting all puffed up, are you?" Zhang Fan laughed.
Seeing this, Bai Xi’s eyes sparkled.
She couldn’t understand why Zhang Fan and Huang Shansheng were so close!
After all, Huang Shansheng was considered a big shot, yet Zhang Fan casually called him "Old Huang" without angering him!
Seems she didn’t quite understand her own son.
Nevertheless, Bai Xi’s face was also full of pride at the moment.
That Liu Ruoxue’s son, compared to Zhang Fan, was leagues apart.
Thinking of this gap, Bai Xi had no intention of bragging about her son to Liu Ruoxue.
It’s like comparing heaven and earth!
Boasting to Liu Ruoxue would just be lowering her own worth!
"Professor Huang, don’t just drink tea, be careful Zhang Fan doesn’t turn on you, then he can peacefully go play music with me." He Shanyuan reminded.
Having mingled in the business world, his ability to read a situation was top-notch!
Zhang Fan’s intent was clearly to plead on Liu Ruoxue’s behalf.
You old fool, can’t you be a bit more perceptive?
And upon hearing this, Liu Ruoxue’s eyes went blank.
Zhang Fan plays music too?
Moreover, daring to fight with Huang Shansheng over students, this person seems quite extraordinary indeed.
At least his reputation at Tsinghua could rival Huang Shansheng’s!
Thinking of this, Liu Ruoxue’s expression darkened.
If two professors at Tsinghua are fighting over him, what was she doing trying to boast about her son?
It was like lifting a stone only to drop it on her own foot.
Utterly defeated!
And at that moment, Huang Shansheng jumped up: "He Shanyuan, you dare!"
He Shanyuan’s mouth twitched, then he grabbed Huang Shansheng’s arm: "Come on, let’s go outside and discuss Xiao Fan’s class schedule."
Oh my, really impressive, you old fool, can’t you be a bit more perceptive?
"Let’s thoroughly hash it out!" Huang Shansheng glared, following He Shanyuan out.
"Wait for me!" Li Liang also followed them out.
Without He Shanyuan and Huang Shansheng, he couldn’t stay.
Not only was it awkward, but if he got caught in the crossfire, there’d be no one to help him out, how frustrating that would be.
Just as Li Liang and the others walked out of the living room, Liu Ruoxue lunged towards Zhang Fan.
"Xiao Bai, oh Xiao Bai, how come your precious son is just so outstanding."
Praising Bai Xi, Liu Ruoxue clung to Zhang Fan’s arm.
"Wow, Xiao Fan, aren’t you amazing. Come, let Auntie Snow take a good look!"
!!!
Zhang Fan’s face turned completely black!
What the hell, what the hell!
Auntie, please show some restraint.
My god, I just gave you a face slap, how are you already clinging to me.
Have some shame, will you!
Zhang Fan quickly got up: "Mom, I’m going to pour tea for Old Huang and the others!"
With that, Zhang Fan rushed out with the tea tray.
"Women and petty people are hard to deal with, the ancients didn’t lie!" Zhang Fan mumbled to himself.
Meanwhile, over where Huang Shansheng was, after He Shanyuan’s explanation, he had an epiphany!
"Oh, say so sooner, Little He, that’s not cool of you." Huang Shansheng shot He Shanyuan a glare.
Seeing this, He Shanyuan’s mouth twitched.
Are you dim, my fault?
"Xiao Fan is here, talk to him!" He Shanyuan said.
Watching Zhang Fan place the tea tray on the wooden table, He Shanyuan’s eyes lit up.
Earlier in front of Bai Xi, he couldn’t let go of his face, but now it was alright, everyone was family! No awkwardness at all.
A ten-year-old Da Hong Pao, he really hadn’t tasted it in his life.
"What do you think? Maybe, take him on as a student?" Huang Shansheng asked.
Zhang Fan shook his head: "Are you crazy? That kid is a handful, for the sake of my mom’s face, just guide him once a month.
Moreover, I have a hunch, this guy will get beaten to stupidity by me one day!
If we’re from the same sect, how can I lay a hand on him!"
Upon hearing this, Li Liang, Huang Shansheng, and He Shanyuan’s faces all turned black.
Are you saying you’re a handful then?
