Peerless Cupid System

They stood below the stage, looking at Zeng Wei with blank expressions.

Zeng Wei, who was singing, turned pale when he saw the middle-aged man and couldn't utter a sound.

The dean of students, Zeng Dehong, sensed something was wrong and tried to slip away, but was stopped by a policeman...

Episode 33: An Unpleasant Class Reunion

Chapter 257 Have you ever thought about getting together?

Zeng Wei was taken away by the police halfway through the song.

This unexpected turn of events at the New Year's Day cultural performance caused an uproar throughout the auditorium.

The students had no idea what had happened, the teachers were clueless, and the school leaders were incredibly embarrassed!

Zeng Dehong, the fat-faced director of the teaching affairs office, was also taken away on the grounds that he colluded with Zeng Wei to abduct female students.

Zeng Wei was taken away, and he never imagined that this matter would be related to Ling Ziqian.

Seeing this scene, Ling Ziqian felt neither surprise nor astonishment.

He has a part of Zeng Wei's memories and knows that Zeng Wei did many bad things.

Being taken away now is a fitting end.

After a moment of chaos, the New Year's Day performance continued.

Ling Ziqian got up to buy snacks for Su Mingxi and Shen Qiaoyan.

He met the old man in the corridor, who smiled and gave Ling Ziqian a thumbs up.

He was 100% certain that Zeng Wei's arrest was related to Ling Ziqian. He didn't know what Ling Ziqian had done, but he was happy with the outcome.

Ling Ziqian smiled but didn't explain. The matter was over, and there was no need to explain.

After returning from the school store, Ling Ziqian ran into Cui Qiuzhen at the entrance of the auditorium.

She was wearing a red scarf around her neck.

Ling Ziqian had seen that scarf before. When Cui Xue showed it to him, he was very excited and said it was a birthday present for his mother.

A few days ago, Cui Xue called and said she wanted to eat cake. I brought a small cake over myself.

Could it be that it was Cui Qiuzhen's birthday that day, and she asked Cui Xue to keep it from her?

"Teacher," Ling Ziqian looked at Cui Qiuzhen with a hint of resentment, "why didn't you mention it was your birthday?"

"You found out!" Cui Qiuzhen touched the red scarf around her neck and smiled a little embarrassedly. "I don't care about birthdays or anything like that, there's no need to go to all that trouble."

Ling Ziqian agreed, "But at least we can all have a meal together and have some fun!" Zong Situan Di.

Cui Qiuzhen smiled and nodded, "Weren't you here too? You've already eaten and the fun is over!"

Ling Ziqian wanted to say that Su Mingxi and the others didn't know, but Cui Qiuzhen put her index finger to her lips, signaling him to be quiet and keep it a secret.

Honestly, why don't I like celebrating my birthday?

Ling Ziqian had this question, and of course, he didn't actually like celebrating his birthday either.

He took a bottle of beverage out of the bag as a small gift and gave it to Cui Qiuzhen.

Cui Qiu smiled and accepted it, "Today is New Year's Day, so come to my house for dinner."

Ling Ziqian smiled and shook his head; he was just about to refuse.

Unexpectedly, Cui Qiuzhen said, "I called your sister, and she told me to ask you. You are the man of the house. If you agree, then they will all come over."

Yu Meiren actually said that?

That's so typical of her!

Ling Ziqian nodded, "Then my family and I will go to your house for dinner tonight. Thank you for your help."

"Don't say it's troublesome. Actually, I want to learn how to make cakes from your sister." Cui Qiuzhen laughed, while rolling her eyes at Ling Ziqian. "Just call me Sister Qiuzhen in private. Calling me 'teacher' is too formal!"

As she spoke, Cui Qiuzhen patted Ling Ziqian's head and pulled him inside to watch the performance.

Cui Qiuzhen was unmarried and had a daughter.

Yu Meiren was also unmarried and had two children.

Perhaps it is because of this similarity that Cui Qiuzhen and Yu Meiren's relationship has evolved from strangers to close friends.

Back in his seat, Ling Ziqian sat down. Su Mingxi was to his right, and Shen Qiaoyan was to his left.

Seating was originally arranged by class, but Shen Qiaoyan sneaked over to the senior year, and no one said anything to her.

"Tonight, Sister Meiren, Xiao Ai, and I are going to Sister Qiuzhen's house for dinner." Ling Ziqian handed the snacks to the two of them. "Do you want to come along?"

"It's a holiday today, so I can't run around, or Grandpa will hit me on the head!" Shen Qiaoyan said dejectedly.

Su Mingxi laughed; she couldn't go over there either.

She tugged at Ling Ziqian's sleeve. "Brother, my dad wants you to come home with me after school."

"Does your dad want to take Master to your house for the holiday?" Shen Qiaoyan asked sourly. She was looking around for her grandfather, hoping he would bring Ling Ziqian back home.

"Maybe so." Su Mingxi blushed slightly. "My dad said he has something to discuss with my brother."

Shen Qiaoyan was surprised. "Could it be that he's going to tell Master, 'I think you're a very good kid. From now on, I'll leave Mingxi in your care!'"

Ling Ziqian was speechless and reached out to tap Shen Qiaoyan's head.

Shen Qiaoyan covered her head and giggled.

Su Mingxi blushed deeply after being teased.

"Xiao Rong can't come either, right?" Ling Ziqian changed the subject.

"Hmm." Su Mingxi took out her phone and showed it to Ling Ziqian. "She said before that a whole house full of guests came to her house."

Ling Ziqian nodded, not paying any attention, and continued watching the performance.

Shen Qiaoyan was restless. She was watching the performance, but secretly she was playing with Ling Ziqian's hand.

Sitting next to Ling Ziqian, Su Mingxi found it difficult to concentrate on the performance; her face remained flushed.

At 4 p.m., the less-than-stellar New Year's Day performance finally came to an end.

Shen Qiaoyan went home with the old man.

Ling Ziqian rode Su Mingxi's pink bicycle towards the Su family supermarket.

Su Mingxi sat on the back of the bicycle, tightly gripping Ling Ziqian's clothes on the back.

"Are your hands cold?" Ling Ziqian asked Su Mingxi behind him.

"It's a little cold." Su Mingxi lied; in reality, her hands were very cold.

"Put it in my pocket," Ling Ziqian said.

"Hmm?" Su Mingxi asked curiously, reaching her hand into Ling Ziqian's coat pocket. Instantly, her hand warmed up, and she wrapped her arms around Ling Ziqian's waist.

That was such a bold move! Su Mingxi felt like she'd been tricked. Her face flushed, but she didn't pull her hand back.

Not long after, they arrived at the supermarket, got out of the car, and went inside.

Upon seeing Ling Ziqian arrive, Su's father put down what he was doing and walked over excitedly.

The supermarket has been open for nearly two months and has received unanimous praise from the surrounding residents.

At this moment, Mr. Su felt like he had reached the peak of his career. He was radiant and even a little overweight.

He warmly pulled Ling Ziqian into the office.

Ling Ziqian was not uneasy. He did not think that Su's father would say anything about handing Su Mingxi over to him.

Su's father probably wants to resolve some issues.

"Ziqian, I've already handed over last month's revenue to your sister," said Mr. Su, pouring Ling Ziqian a cup of tea. "I called you here today to pay off debts."

Ling Ziqian nodded. When Su's father took over the supermarket, he took out 100,000 yuan, but it wasn't a loan; it was an investment.

The debts that Su's father had to repay were from the debts that his uncle and aunt came to collect at their home, and from the two sums of money that Ling Ziqian lent to Su Mingxi when someone came to take possession of the house.

Although it was lent to Su Mingxi, it was still a debt owed to Su's father.

The two sums of money totaled 150,000.

Mr. Su handed over a bank card directly.

Ling Ziqian didn't say anything and simply accepted it. "I'll bring the property certificate over tomorrow."

Ling Ziqian helped pay off the debt at the time, and Su Mingxi handed over the property certificate to Ling Ziqian as collateral.

Mr. Su nodded, took Ling Ziqian's hand, and sighed, "Ziqian, if it weren't for you, our family definitely wouldn't have made it through. I was really out of my mind back then, thinking of marrying Mingxi off to pay off the debt. Thinking about it now, I'm really scared!"

I wonder if Su Mingxi has any psychological trauma from this incident, or if she resents her father.

"We are where we are today thanks to you, Ziqian. If you hadn't lent me 100,000 yuan, my family would probably still be suffering..."

“Uncle, you have the ability. Even if I don’t help you, you will succeed one day.”

Mr. Su shook his head; he didn't think so.

The day someone came to collect a debt, and Ling Ziqian helped pay it off, was a huge shock to him!

He was filled with remorse at the time, and his self-esteem was severely damaged. He learned from his shame and worked hard to improve himself, which led to his success today.

Holding Ling Ziqian's hand, Su's father expressed his gratitude in many words.

After expressing his gratitude profusely, Mr. Su asked with some curiosity and gossip, "Ziqian, what exactly is your relationship with Mingxi? Have you ever thought about getting together?"

Su Mingxi walked past the office door carrying some things.

Hearing her father's question, she blushed, her heart pounded, and she felt weak all over.

She wanted to hear Ling Ziqian's answer, but she was also afraid to hear it.

Her mind was in complete disarray. She lowered her head and chose to run away…

Chapter 258 So beautiful I wish time could stand still!

When Ling Ziqian left the supermarket, he did not see Su Mingxi.
