In name only: In the name of Zhao Mengsheng's son!

Zhong Xiaoai was also dumbfounded. The rumors circulating these days were getting more and more outrageous. Zhao Zhongxin liked her? He wanted to pursue her? She would rather die than marry Zhao Zhongxin. Like you said, childhood fears accompany a person throughout their life. But then she thought, with Zhao Zhongxin's family background, if he really proposed to her family, her family would definitely agree!

This is a great opportunity for their family to climb the social ladder. Although the old master of the Zhao family is gone, he came from the military, and his subordinates and subordinates are still around. This is not a case of "the tea is forgotten after the person dies." Moreover, the old lady of the Zhao family (a noblewoman) is still alive. She is also a pillar of strength. All these connections can be used!

Thinking of this, Zhong Xiaoai remembered that her family had arranged a blind date for her before, the kind of political marriage. She could accept it. The man was her junior high and high school classmate. He had a good personality and was a rather shy boy. However, she was unwilling to marry him before, wanting to find someone she liked. But now she could not. She was willing to marry him! As long as it wasn't Zhao Zhongxin!

So Zhong Xiaoai quickly found a phone booth and called her mother, expressing her willingness to marry her. She said she would take some time this month to come back and get engaged, and promised to get married as soon as she returned after graduation! As long as she was engaged, even the Zhao family wouldn't be able to cause any trouble!

Zhong Xiaoai was forced into a corner and had to make a tough decision, which completely cut off Hou Liangping's path to marrying her!

But Hou Liangping is still unaware that Zhong Xiaoai is about to get engaged. He's filled with resentment, resentment towards Zhao Zhongxin. Why does someone two or three years older than Zhong Xiaoai have to try and mate with a younger woman? Aren't the juniors good enough? Aren't the seniors mature enough? Aren't the sophomores appealing enough? Why does he have to target the girl he likes?

However, Hou Liangping remained confident. Even in a fair competition, he wasn't afraid of Zhao Zhongxin. Aside from being a bit more handsome, Zhao Zhongxin had a powerful father and a wealthy family—a deputy director-level official! Zhao Zhongxin, at best, came from a nouveau riche family! In the world of officials and businessmen, officials always came before businessmen! What made Zhao Zhongxin think he could compete with him?

Fortunately, Zhao Zhongxin didn't know what Hou Liangping was thinking. In the entire country, there were very few families that could rival his family's power and even win. Several of the families above his had died out, and several had left politics. There were almost no families that could suppress his family! That's why he was the real "princeling"!

"Monkey, don't blame Brother Xin. Brother Xin didn't know you were pursuing Zhong Xiaoai, but let me tell you, if you can't handle Zhong Xiaoai, you probably have no chance!"

Chen Hai was just telling the truth, but his words were a bit harsh. If it weren't for the fact that Chen Hai's father was also a deputy director-level cadre, he would have already lost his temper!

If Zhao Zhongxin hadn't appeared, Hou Liangping would have had a good chance! Didn't he win over Zhong Xiaoai in the original story? But everything changed because of Zhao Zhongxin's arrival!

Gao Fangfang knew she had gotten herself into big trouble. Zhao Zhongxin had asked her to inquire about Zhong Xiaoai, but he never asked her about her again or contacted Zhong Xiaoai. She understood that Zhao Zhongxin genuinely had no feelings for Zhong Xiaoai, but hadn't she told her girlfriends about her feelings that day? And then the news spread!

So now Gao Fangfang doesn't dare to stay in the dormitory anymore, and has simply gone home to live. Anyway, she's still at school, and the dormitory aunties and dorm supervisors all know she's Gao Yuliang's daughter, so they won't care whether she goes home or not! She claims she misses her parents!

Zhao Zhongxin appeared near the girls' dormitory, and before he even got to his usual spot, someone had already recognized him!

"Senior Zhao! You're here to see Xiao Ai, right? I'll go get her for you!"

This person was in the same dormitory as Gao Fangfang, and he was the one who had the most complete gossip about Gao Fangfang. Moreover, Zhao Zhongxin and Qi Tongwei went off-roading every day, so everyone in the world knew him!

"Huh? Wait a minute, junior, wait a minute! I'm looking for Gao Fangfang, not Zhong Xiaoai!"

"You're looking for Fangfang? Oh, I almost forgot, Fangfang is your sister. She's been staying at home lately. It's okay, senior! Don't be shy, I'll go find Xiao Ai for you!"

This girl is also the kind of person who would go to great lengths for her sisters. As long as Zhao Zhongxin wins over Zhong Xiaoai, then her sister, Gao Fangfang, will have a chance to win over Hou Liangping!

"Hey, no, no, no, I really came to see Fangfang!"

Zhao Zhongxin was speechless, his head was spinning. This girl was running too fast. After thinking for a moment, he decided to slip away first! Otherwise, he didn't know how he would handle the situation!

"Xiao Ai, Xiao Ai, your senior is here to see you, hurry up and go downstairs!"

The girl rushed into the dormitory building and went straight into Zhong Xiaoai's room. Zhong Xiaoai was just thinking how lucky she was that she acted quickly and was going back to Beijing to get engaged this month when she heard this and didn't react for a moment!

"Senior? Which senior?"

"Our school's heartthrob, Zhao Zhongxin, I took a look for you, he really is handsome, hurry up and go down!"

Zhong Xiaoai's apple fell to the ground! Zhao Zhongxin had come to find her? Huh? Handsome? The school heartthrob? Childhood memories began to flood back. She was only eleven years old then! Zhao Zhongxin's wicked expression, her cousin being held down by a group of people, his pants pulled down, his heart-wrenching screams! She would never forget it! Where was he handsome? He was clearly bad!

"Um, Wenjing, I have something to do. Could you help me ask the school for leave? I need to go home today, for three days, no, for a week!"

Zhong Xiaoai got scared, so she grabbed her wallet and went downstairs. The girl followed her downstairs, and she was just planning how to make trouble to get Zhong Xiaoai to agree. But as soon as Zhong Xiaoai left the dormitory, she started running and headed straight for the school gate. The girl chased after her!

"Xiao Ai, your senior is over there, not over here!"

Upon hearing this, Zhong Xiaoai ran even faster. She was going home today. Why? To get engaged! She didn't want to fall into Zhao Zhongxin's clutches! Otherwise, things could get complicated!

But she was running too fast and tripped and fell to the ground. Zhao Zhongxin was walking when he suddenly heard a sound behind him. He turned around and saw a girl lying on the ground. Luckily, it was a lawn, otherwise she would definitely have been injured!

Are you alright?

Zhong Xiaoai heard a gentle voice, and when she looked up, she saw a hand outstretched in front of her. But it was noon, and Zhao Zhongxin was directly in the sun, so Zhong Xiaoai couldn't see who it was!

When Zhao Zhongxin saw the girl look up, he immediately recognized her as Zhong Xiaoai! What a damn coincidence! He had been scared away from the girls' dormitory, and now he had run into Zhong Xiaoai here!

"Thank you, thank you!"

Zhong Xiaoai was pulled up by Zhao Zhongxin, and then she saw Zhao Zhongxin's face clearly!

"Zhao, Zhao..."

Zhong Xiaoai was almost in tears!
