Rebirth: At the beginning, the cool school beauty was caught stealing in the supermarket

Chapter 486 How wonderful it would be if you weren't my student

She looked at the 18-year-old boy in front of her with surprise. Zheng Yifeng also looked up at her, but there was no extra expression on Zheng Yifeng's face. He was frighteningly calm. On the contrary, Su Miaomiao's breathing became rapid. She was at a loss for a moment and had the urge to hang up the phone.

Zheng Yifeng looked down at his phone again, quietly waiting for the woman on the other end to react.

The phone remained silent for a long time; clearly, the person on the other end was also surprised.

"You...you're living together?!"

Su Miaomiao leaned forward slightly, anxious to explain for her mother, but Zheng Yifeng raised his hand, signaling her to be quiet and leave everything to him.

Su Miaomiao looked at the boy again.

She didn't know what was wrong with her, but she obediently shut her mouth.

This feels like a return to the time a few days ago when I argued with my parents about going on a blind date.

This time, she still chose to believe the boy in front of her. There was no particular reason. If she had to say, it was probably the first time in her 23 years of life that Su Miaomiao had gained a sense of security from the same person twice.

She lost the last battle, can Zheng Yifeng lead her to victory this time?

"Auntie, you've misunderstood. Today is Miaomiao's birthday, and I'm just celebrating for her." Zheng Yifeng glanced at Su Miaomiao and continued in a neither humble nor arrogant tone, "Did you call on her birthday not to celebrate for her, but just to set her up on a blind date?"

"...Don't talk about birthdays or anything like that. When did you two get together? Who are you? How did you meet her?" The woman on the phone spoke sternly.

Zheng Yifeng responded to the phone: "You don't need to know these things. Even if you did, you wouldn't be satisfied, because I'm not the son of some friend in your social circle. I'm just... an ordinary person whom Miaomiao fell in love with freely, following her own wishes."

Su Miaomiao looked at Zheng Yifeng with a mixture of surprise and amusement. She slowly shook her head, her eyes flashing with disbelief.

It's unbelievable that Zheng Yifeng said these words, and it's also unbelievable that she allowed him to say them.

The woman on the phone was silent for a moment, then sneered, "You think you're so great, huh? Talking to me like that, do you really think you and my daughter have a future?"

Zheng Yifeng said, "Auntie, Su Miaomiao's future isn't in your hands, so why can't I feel that I have a future with her?"

Su's mother laughed: "Young people always can't distinguish between ideals and reality. I can tell you're very young, still in school, right? You don't even know how to survive in society. The future isn't something you can just talk about. What can you offer Miaomiao? Your concern and care? Your meticulous attention?"

Zheng Yifeng: "I brought five houses in the city center of Lucheng. My father owns nearly 40% of the shares in Daohe Food Company. My second uncle, who is the current general manager of Daohe Food Company, promised to give me a Ferrari 458 Italia for my birthday next year. Of course, if needed, we can also consider buying a few houses in Zhucheng in the future."

"By the way, does the university where Auntie is a professor need a teaching building donated?" Zheng Yifeng asked with a slight smile, playing with the plastic fork in his hand.

He suddenly felt a bit pathetic, probably because he had been corrupted by that guy Lu Yuanqiu. He never flaunted his wealth, but only confronted people he disliked at crucial moments, leaving them speechless.

Silence fell on the phone.

Su Miaomiao quietly raised her eyes to look at Zheng Yifeng. Is this kid really that powerful? How come I've never heard him mention it before?

Daohe Foods is the second largest food company in this economic zone, after Lu's and Baixi.

Thinking about how Zheng Yifeng always carried a lot of money he couldn't spend when he went out, she suddenly seemed to be able to imagine it too.

However, Su Miaomiao understands her mother. Although what Zheng Yifeng said could indeed solve most practical problems, it was not the "real" that her mother was talking about.

My mother's "reality" is based on her own failed marriage experience, which leads her to conclude that relationships between older women and younger men will inevitably ruin happiness. As a teacher, she also deeply abhors "teacher-student relationships" and even finds them disgusting.

This is a woman who never hesitates to share her own life experiences as lessons for her daughter's growth.

The woman on the phone sighed: "Rich second generation, right? Unfortunately, I'm not interested in rich second generation. I only care about personal ability and compatibility over material things. My daughter graduated from East China Normal University with a bachelor's degree and got into Zhuhai University for her master's degree. What about you?"

Zheng Yifeng: "Undergraduate from Zhuhai University".

Su's mother: "..." Su's mother: "...Young man, your grades are quite good!"

Su Miaomiao sat next to her with her head slightly lowered, barely able to contain herself.

Su's mother: "Was he also a graduate student at Zhuhai University?"

Upon hearing this, Su Miaomiao's expression changed slightly, and Zheng Yifeng hesitated before saying, "I am currently an undergraduate student."

He didn't want to lie about things that would be exposed if they met in person.

Su's mother: "Undergraduate student?? You're not Miaomiao's student, are you? A freshman??"

It’s over.

The two words immediately came to Su Miaomiao's mind. She knew all too well what her mother cared about. Before her mother could ask any further questions, she quickly said, "Mom, my phone is dead. I'll hang up now."

"beep."

After the call ended, the two exchanged a glance in the quiet space. Su Miaomiao looked down at her phone and turned it off.

"Do you know that if you do this, I'm dead when I get home?" Su Miaomiao stood up and put her phone on the table.

Zheng Yifeng also stood up and said to her, "If we don't do this, you'll have to go back tomorrow to prepare for the blind date the day after tomorrow. I'm just trying to help you."

Su Miaomiao took a deep breath: "Anyway, I've heard so many things since I was a child, so hearing them again isn't a big deal. I'm used to it."

"You must fight back."

“Zheng Yifeng, we grew up in different environments and received different parenting styles, so you can’t really empathize with me… This, do you see it?” Su Miaomiao pointed to something in front of her.

Zheng Yifeng didn't see anything; she seemed to be pointing at thin air.

"what?"

"A net! There's an invisible net between us, and it's blocking me!"

Zheng Yifeng looked down for a moment, then suddenly reached out and did something that surprised Su Miaomiao.

He grabbed Su Miaomiao's hand and forcefully pulled her in front of him. Su Miaomiao's eyes widened as she heard the rapid clanking of the shackles beneath her.

“If you can’t get out, I’ll pull you out. If I can’t pull you out, I’ll go into the net to rescue you.”

Zheng Yifeng looked into her eyes and spoke earnestly.

Su Miaomiao raised her head, her chest heaving violently. Apart from filming a promotional video, this seemed to be the first time the two of them had been so close.

The shackles on her feet were burning hot, and Su Miaomiao felt an unbearable, scorching pain.

"If only you weren't my student..."

She suddenly choked up and opened her mouth, tears streaming down her face. This was the first time Su Miaomiao, who was usually cheerful, had cried in front of Zheng Yifeng.

Zheng Yifeng opened his arms and gently embraced the crying Su Miaomiao. Su Miaomiao also opened her arms and hugged him back, pressing her cheek against his chest.

"Even though I ran away to Zhuhai University, you still became my student. Why is that...?"
