Chapter 228

This was an absolutely shocking revelation.

Zuo Hengyi and He Yuqi were classmates before they were split into different classes.

Their relationship grew closer after they became desk mates following the class split.

Besides Feng Yunhe, Zuo Hengyi needed other friends too.

As a son, hearing that his father would marry a young stepmother wasn\'t surprising to Zuo Hengyi; rather, it was something he was quite used to.

As a successful man, Zuo\'s Dad\'s romantic history was even more talked about than his business empire.

While no one\'s wife could stay eighteen forever, Zuo\'s Dad managed to achieve this feat.

When he was twenty-four, his wife was twenty-four; when he turned thirty-four, his wife was still twenty-four; by forty-four, his wife was twenty-two.

Now at forty-nine, his wife is twenty-six.

Zuo\'s Dad married his young bride three years ago, and Zuo Hengyi wondered how long this marriage would last.

While he still didn\'t know how long his father\'s current marriage would last, he now knew who the next stepmother would be.

It felt like someone had given him a spoiler.

Zuo Hengyi remained calm, after all, he\'d gone through more than a dozen stepmothers, so who the next one would be didn\'t matter much to him.

The only slightly shocking part was that the future stepmother was his friend\'s girlfriend.

The relationship dynamics were quite complicated.

Unlike his battle-hardened friends Fu Huixing and Rongrong, Zuo Hengyi instinctively looked toward his friend\'s direction after hearing the news, only to meet his friend\'s bewildered gaze.

Thinking about it made him feel sorry for his friend, and Zuo Hengyi felt somewhat guilty.

Although he hadn\'t stolen anyone\'s girlfriend, it was his father who had done such a thing, and as they say, the son must pay for the father\'s debts.

The more Zuo Hengyi thought about it, the more it bothered him - why should he be responsible for what that old man did?

The fact that he had grown up well despite his father\'s constant wife-changing showed that he had developed quite a thick skin.

He immediately became more self-righteous - he was actually the most innocent person in all of this.

As for He Yuqi, who had his girlfriend stolen, being more innocent - that wasn\'t true. It was his fault for not being a better judge of character and choosing the wrong girlfriend.

If anything, he was the one who had hurt poor Zuo Hengyi.

Zuo Hengyi\'s expressions kept changing, and he didn\'t even notice when Shi Li and her two companions left. When he finally came to his senses, a couple had already taken their seats across from him.

Zuo Hengyi had wanted to learn more gossip from Shi Li, but she had disappeared while he was lost in thought.

He felt regretful, wondering what he had been thinking about.

Since Shi Li had already left, there was no way to learn more details about the gossip.

Zuo Hengyi thought he should console He Yuqi first, considering how hard it had been for him to finally win over his girlfriend.

From their daily interactions, it was clear that he really cared about his girlfriend.

Hearing this news so suddenly must have been a huge blow to him.

After coming to this realization, Zuo Hengyi looked up to find He Yuqi.

However, He Yuqi\'s seat was now empty, with only a somewhat dazed Chou Lu remaining.

Chou Lu wasn\'t in classes one, two, or three before the split, so she couldn\'t hear Shi Li\'s thoughts.

Therefore, her current expression couldn\'t have been due to Shi Li\'s thoughts.

While Zuo Hengyi was pondering this, Chou Lu looked at him and walked over with a smile.

"Yuqi suddenly left without explanation and hasn\'t come back. Do you know where he went?"

Zuo Hengyi didn\'t know where he\'d gone, but he had a pretty good idea why he\'d left.

He could only hedge and say, "I don\'t know either, maybe something came up at home."

The pretty young girl pouted, "He didn\'t even check his phone, just suddenly stood up. I thought maybe I\'d said something to upset him."

Zuo Hengyi thought: Girl, you\'re right, but it wasn\'t what you said that upset him, it was what Shi Li said that got to him.

While internally sarcastic, he said aloud, "Of course not, he probably just had some emergency. Just give him some time alone."

A couple was sitting across from Zuo Hengyi, so Chou Lu couldn\'t sit there. There was an empty seat next to him, so she sat down beside Zuo Hengyi.

Zuo Hengyi could feel the sofa sink beside him, and he felt like a cat with its fur standing on end, his whole body screaming: Don\'t touch me.

Thanks to his upbringing, his manners were impeccable, but that was just in his imagination.

Although he was very resistant to Chou Lu\'s presence, Zuo Hengyi\'s polite demeanor was faultless.

Chou Lu complained, "We had plans to study together in the morning and go to the amusement park in the afternoon. I already bought the tickets, and now he\'s just disappeared. How could he do this?"

Zuo Hengyi could only console her, "He\'s not the type to stand people up, this must have been something unexpected."

Chou Lu seemed to accept this, then said, "I don\'t like changing plans midway. How about this - let\'s go together without him, at least to minimize the loss."

Zuo Hengyi: Danger! Danger! Danger!

He politely declined, "I still have a lot of homework to do, I can\'t play this afternoon or I\'ll get scolded by the teacher tomorrow."

Aside from the fact that she would be his future stepmother, just the fact that she was currently his friend\'s girlfriend meant he couldn\'t possibly go to the amusement park alone with her.

Some boundaries needed to be maintained.

After being declined, Chou Lu didn\'t insist on Zuo Hengyi accompanying her to the amusement park.

Instead, she suggested, "In that case, let\'s go to the study room together."

Zuo Hengyi really didn\'t want to go to the study room with her, but since he had just used homework as an excuse to decline her earlier invitation, he couldn\'t refuse when she suggested studying.

He could only nod awkwardly, "Alright, though I\'m not sure if there are any seats left in the study room this afternoon."

Of course there were seats in the study room, quite a few actually.

Upon entering the study room, Zuo Hengyi began looking around for familiar faces.

As luck would have it, he immediately spotted a familiar crew cut.

Aliali: 674546a7c4f3f33ac44c928aFu Huixing was tall, and even sitting at a desk, he stood out from the crowd.

Zuo Hengyi had never been so excited to see Shi Li - heaven knows how much he wanted to avoid being alone with Chou Lu.

Since everyone was studying, Zuo Hengyi could only express his excitement through gestures.

Shi Li hadn\'t expected to run into him again so coincidentally.

She quickly noticed Chou Lu standing behind Zuo Hengyi and was somewhat surprised.

[How did these two end up alone together?]

Zuo Hengyi casually sat down next to Fu Huixing and invited Chou Lu to sit as well.

[Show some respect]

[Remember, Chou Lu will not only be your stepmother in the future, but also your new sister-in-law]
