BXBX NOVEL Chapter 56 - Invitation
Han Shuyi couldn\'t help but be captivated by Ye QiuXue\'s striking beauty.
\'Why is someone like her so close to HuMing?\'
Han Shuyi couldn\'t comprehend, but he swiftly put on a smile and said,
"President, I\'ve noticed you\'re quite close to HuMing recently. Are you tutoring him privately?"
"What does that have to do with you?"
With a single sentence, Ye QiuXue cut off Han ShuYi\'s words.
Han Shuyi\'sY expression momentarily stiffened, but he quickly regained his composure.
"HuMing\'s relationship with the family hasn\'t been great recently, so I\'m concerned about him. I know he has strong prejudices against the family, so I wanted to ask you about his situation."
Ye QiuXue stared icily at Han ShuYi, her face betraying no emotion in response to his words. On the contrary, her displeasure seemed to intensify.
"If you\'re genuinely concerned about HuMing, why don\'t you look for him yourself instead of asking me about him? True concern necessitates action, not simply asking a few questions!"
Ye QiuXue scolded Han ShuYi, rendering him speechless.
He had initially intended to find out what HuMing had been up to recently but hadn\'t expected the president to have the rumored temper.
After receiving a stern reprimand, Han ShuYi realized that making any progress with Ye QiuXue was simply impossible.
He nodded apologetically to Ye QiuXue and then turned to leave.
Watching his retreating figure, Ye QiuXue let out a quiet scoff.
...
"HuMing, why are you making so many mistakes recently? Did you not remember a single thing I taught you last time?"
Ye QiuXue\'s pale forehead showed a hint of veins, indicating she had almost reached her breaking point.
HuMing\'s focus has been wavering lately, and his academic progress appears to have taken a step back. Ye QiuXue was very displeased with this.
However, Ye QiuXue was also aware of the rumors about the Lee family\'s announcement during a certain banquet, stating that LiYue and HuMing were ending their engagement.
This pushed Ye QiuXue\'s patience with HuMing to another level.
Nevertheless, it\'s important to keep moving forward; the future is still bright. If HuMing remained unchanged, wouldn\'t he be looked down upon by everyone?
Thus, Ye QiuXue had high expectations for HuMing.
Hearing Ye QiuXue\'s distorted voice, HuMing finally came to his senses-!
He mustered a smile, tinged with a hint of helplessness.
He wasn\'t distracted by LiYue\'s matter; he was actually concerned about the orphanage.
Recently, he heard the old director\'s wife complain about the old director\'s poor health, but because he was concerned about the children, he prioritized his own well-being and scheduled a check-up.
The old director reasoned that as long as he could walk and eat, there was no need to waste money on unnecessary check-ups.
Given the prevalence of overcharging in hospitals, he did not want to waste money on unnecessary examinations.
HuMing had attempted to persuade him, but the old director was headstrong. What could he do?
This was the actual source of his troubles.
But he didn\'t expect Ye QiuXue to be so angry!
Ye QiuXue frowned as she put her hands on her hips.
"I know LiYue\'s situation has affected you greatly, but it shouldn\'t make you this depressed, right? Didn\'t you tell me you didn\'t care about LiYue? Were you lying to me?"
Upon hearing Ye QiuXue\'s words, HuMing became aware of the impact his recent behavior had on her perception.
In a way, he was successful.
He hadn\'t spoken to the Han family much since the banquet.
Occasionally, when he saw Han YunXi, he would greet her. And when he saw Han LiTian, he would nod in greeting. Aside from that, he expressed little emotion.
To others, his behavior may appear abnormal but understandable. After all, the Han family was not fair in this situation.
But let\'s be honest, the Han family was basically taking back what was rightfully theirs.
HuMing\'s lack of outbursts was already surprising. As a result of HuMing\'s behaviors, Han LiTian found himself with even more guilt, and even Madam Han began to hide herself from HuMing.
This proved that his actions were right. Since Han ShuYi wanted to disgust him, he naturally had to reciprocate.
Courtesy demands reciprocity; it\'s important to maintain a sense of balance.
"President, you misunderstood. It\'s not because of LiYue that I\'m like this."
HuMing waved his hand and casually wrote the correct answers over the marked incorrect answers.
Seeing HuMing\'s actions, Ye QiuXue\'s expression finally brightened.
However, she looked at HuMing with a confused expression and asked,
"If it\'s not because of LiYue, then what is it that\'s making you so distracted?"
"Do... Do I really have to say it?"
"Say it. If I can help you solve it, I\'ll help you so you won\'t be so distracted while studying!"
Ye QiuXue did not want HuMing\'s study efficiency to decrease. Instead of letting him be preoccupied, it would be better for her to join him in solving them.
With this thought in mind, HuMing also devised a plan to get the old director to have a check-up.
"If so, president, go home together with me after school then."
"Huh? Go home together?"
Ye QiuXue was puzzled by his words.
Isn\'t his home the Han Family\'s house? Why does she need to go there?
Noticing Ye QiuXue\'s puzzled look, HuMing quickly realized the lack of clarity in his statement. He hastily gestured and explained.
"I misspoke. I meant to say, not to my home, but to come with me to a place."
"Be clearer next time..."
...
After school, a few classmates invited HuMing for a soccer game. This was quite a surprising turn of events for HuMing.
In the past, nobody dared to approach him because of his status. In addition, Han ShuYi garnered favor with those people, making them reluctant to offend him, and as a result, they never approached HuMing.
However, after HuMing clashed with Han ShuYi that day, a few classmates attempted to speak with him, but inviting him to play soccer was a first.
Looking at these classmates, HuMing showed a rare smile.
"I\'m sorry, but I have something urgent today. Next time, I promise I\'ll join you.
Seeing HuMing\'s sincere smile, his classmates nodded in understanding.
"I understand. Han ShuYi also said he has an important matter to attend, probably a family gathering. We\'ll set up another time."
The classmates ran off with the soccer ball, and HuMing silently looked at Han ShuYi\'s empty seat.
Han ShuYi left the classroom as soon as school ended. Usually, at this time, he would remain in the classroom to help some classmates with their studies. However, today, nothing special was to happen in the Han family, so why did he leave so quickly?
HuMing narrowed his eyes, deep in thought.
