88.79% Rebirth:I'm A Favourite With Them / Chapter 206: Chapter 206

Chapter 206: Chapter 206

Not long after the men in black left, in a low-profile yet luxurious estate in the Imperial City, a person lying on a rocking chair picked up a phone and casually swiped through a series of bloody photos. After tossing the phone lightly onto the coffee table, they closed their eyes, savoring the rare sight of blue skies and white clouds outside.

 

"Useless trash! Then be a complete waste!"

 

Under the clear blue sky, a private jet slowly landed on a private helipad, where a car had been waiting. After Leo and his companions disembarked, they immediately got into the car, which quickly drove away.

 

The car headed toward a famous university district in the Imperial City, passing by several universities along the way. Twenty minutes later, it stopped at the gate of one of them.

 

Because it was the start of the school year, the entrance was crowded with people, as parents with their children flooded in, carrying large bags and packages.

 

Unable to drive further, the car pulled over.

 

"Pull over here."

 

The car came to a smooth stop by the roadside. As the doors opened, Azura was the first to step out, followed by Zuri, with Leo bringing up the rear.

 

Azura turned to Leo and said, "Uncle, we're here now. You can go back to work. You don't need to accompany us. We can handle it."

 

She had her own plans to find some cute guys without her uncle around.

 

"There's nothing on my schedule today, so I'll take the chance to see the place where you two will be studying for the next four years," Leo said, his tone leaving no room for argument, crushing Azura's little scheme.

 

Azura pouted, wanting to protest, but then Zuri said, "Let's go."

 

Leo carried all the luggage as Zuri and Azura walked ahead. The three of them, with their striking appearances and demeanor, attracted many stares.

 

Several upperclassmen turned their attention to Zuri and Azura.

 

"Wow, that girl in the red dress is gorgeous. Could she be a new student in the art department?"

 

"The girl next to her is quite pretty too."

 

"Beautiful people do tend to hang out together."

 

 

The three first accompanied Azura to register in the archaeology department, and then they went to the fashion design department. Though they were in different departments, they were in the same university.

 

"This is your dorm number and room key," the senior at the registration desk said, handing the items to Zuri.

 

A shy male student nearby asked, "Do you have any luggage? I can help you carry it."

 

A friend nudged him and gave him a signal to look behind Zuri. That was when the guy noticed the impressive man standing behind her.

 

He immediately backed down.

 

Leo carried the luggage as he followed Zuri to the dormitory. Along the way, they drew the attention of several students, who couldn't help but glance at Leo.

 

When they opened the dormitory door, two other students had already arrived, and their parents were busy helping them arrange their beds.

 

Their arrival immediately caught the attention of the two families, and the two girls' eyes were drawn to the handsome, composed Leo.

 

"Another new roommate," said a slightly plump middle-aged woman with a smile.

 

Zuri nodded slightly to the two families and glanced at the beds. She soon found her name on the bed by the window, but it had already been taken by someone else.

 

Leo noticed it too. The bed that was supposed to belong to Zuri had been claimed by another girl.

 

He stepped forward, placed the luggage on the desk, and said to the middle-aged couple, "You've set up the wrong bed."

 

"Oh! So you're Zuri! My daughter Feifei isn't in the best health, so she needs to stay by the window. As a classmate, you should help each other out. You wouldn't mind switching beds, would you?" Feifei's mother said with a smile.

 

Her words placed Zuri on a moral high ground, forcing her to give up her bed. If she refused, she would be seen as lacking the spirit of mutual help among classmates.

 

Azura stepped forward and sneered, "Sorry, but Zuri also needs sunlight and has to stay by the window."

 

Feifei's mother was surprised by their refusal, feeling a bit displeased.

 

"Young lady, why are you so difficult? It's just a bed. Why make such a fuss?" Feifei's mother said, annoyed.

 

"Exactly! It's just a bed. Why insist on taking someone else's? Do you have some weird habit of snatching other people's things?" Azura shot back.

 

"Watch your mouth, young lady!"

 

"I was just echoing your own words," Azura responded with a smile.

 

Sensing the growing tension, the father of another family stepped in to mediate.

 

"Everyone, calm down! You're all classmates and will be living together for the next four years. Let's not start off on the wrong foot. How about a compromise?" the father of Shen Menglai suggested.

 

Feifei's mother turned to Azura, "You're not Zuri, so why are you butting in? Mind your own business."

 

Then she addressed Zuri, "You're Zuri, right? You seem like a reasonable person. My daughter Feifei isn't well, so why not let her have the bed by the window? Auntie will be very grateful, and Feifei will remember your kindness. So, will you let her have the bed?"

 

"No! I'm not willing!" Zuri calmly replied.

 

They had just stood up for themselves, so if she gave in now, it would be like slapping Azura in the face. She wasn't about to let a random person cause harm to her friend.

 

Whether the other person was happy or not was none of her concern.

 

Feifei was furious and pouted at Zuri. She then turned to her father and said, "Dad, just give them money! That's what they want, isn't it?"

 

Feifei's father pulled out a thick wad of cash from his wallet and slapped it on the table. "This money is for your bed. Are you satisfied now?"

 

The Shen family looked at the stack of cash on the table, then at Feifei's father's bulging wallet, their expressions changing slightly.

 

Azura almost burst out laughing at the sight of the money.

 

Did they look like beggars who needed money?

 

She glanced at Leo and Zuri. Her uncle was dressed in custom-made casual clothes, with no visible brand. Zuri wore a… well, a somewhat cheap dress, but still, they didn't look shabby.

 

Leo simply said one word, "Leave!"

 

"Hey, watch your mouth!" Feifei's mother snapped.

 

Zuri, feeling a headache coming on, said, "If your family is so wealthy, why not just buy her a villa nearby so she can commute from there? Villas outside the campus are much better. Whether she wants a sunroom or a rooftop, she can choose whatever she likes. Squeezing into this crowded dorm doesn't really suit a lady of her status."

 

Feifei, feeling mocked, stood up and said, "I like staying in the dormitory. What's it to you?"

"What does your illness have to do with me?" Zuri commanded coldly to Shi Feifei's parents, "Move your things, now!"

 

The forceful tone in Zuri's voice stunned both families in the room. Reluctantly, Shi Feifei's parents began moving their belongings back to the bed that was originally theirs, which was inconveniently located near the bathroom.

 

Once they had left, Azura cheerfully began unpacking her things. She tossed a set of bedding to her uncle, saying, "Uncle, make the bed."

 

Leo calmly took the bedding and began making the bed with a practiced ease. Meanwhile, Shi Feifei, clearly upset, sat down in a chair, while her mother quietly consoled her.

 

"Sweetheart, don't lower yourself to their level. They're just small-minded people, not worth your anger," Shi Feifei's mother whispered.

 

Shi Feifei's father chimed in, "Later, I'll take you shopping. You can buy whatever you want."

 

Shi Feifei's mood lightened slightly. "Alright," she said.

 

Seeing their daughter's expression soften, the parents breathed a sigh of relief.

 

Just then, the last student arrived with her mother, who wore old, worn clothes. The two carried very little, only a simple set of bedding and not much else.

 

Shi Feifei glanced at them with undisguised disdain.

 

To break the tension, Shen Menglai's father spoke up, "You must be Esme. This is my daughter, Shen Menglai."

 

Esme nodded in acknowledgment and looked towards the beautiful girl by the window.

 

Noticing her gaze, Zuri smiled slightly, "I'm Zuri."

 

Shi Feifei, however, sneered and had no intention of befriending anyone.

 

Shi Feifei's mother, seeing an opportunity, chimed in, "This is my daughter, Feifei. I'm sure she'll need your help in the future. You seem like a kind and responsible girl, the type who would look after others. If my Feifei ever needs anything, I hope you'll be there to help. And, of course, if you need anything, Feifei will be happy to assist."

 

Esme nodded shyly.

 

After Zuri finished setting up her bed, the three left the dormitory and went to Azura's dorm, where they encountered no odd situations.

 

After a pleasant introduction to her new roommates, Leo was called away by a phone call. Zuri spent the rest of the evening dining with Azura and her new roommates, enjoying her first day on campus.

 

When Zuri returned to her dormitory, only Esme and Shen Menglai were there; Shi Feifei was absent. Shen Menglai greeted Zuri with a smile, "Zuri, tomorrow, our dorm is going out for dinner together. Would you like to join us?"

 

"Sure," Zuri replied.

 

Esme hesitated for a moment before nodding in agreement.

 

Shen Menglai glanced at Shi Feifei's bed, "I doubt she'll come. I find her a bit too pretentious. Just because she's wealthy, she acts like she's better than everyone else."

 

Zuri simply smiled without commenting.

 

At that moment, the dormitory door was kicked open, and Shi Feifei entered, her arms laden with shopping bags. Seeing no one helping her, she called out to Esme, "Hurry up and help me!"

 

Esme obediently went to assist her, placing the shopping bags on her bed.

 

Shen Menglai rolled her eyes.

 

Shi Feifei began unpacking her bags, taking out a delicate designer handbag, and walked over to Shen Menglai, "This is for you."

 

Shen Menglai was shocked. It was a Gucci bag, easily worth over ten thousand yuan!

 

Shi Feifei smirked, pleased with herself. "Take it. Don't be shy."

 

Next, she pulled out another handbag and handed it to Esme, "This is for you."

 

After handing out gifts, Shi Feifei deliberately ignored Zuri.

 

Esme and Shen Menglai exchanged glances, both feeling awkward for Zuri.

 

Shi Feifei glanced at Zuri with a smug expression.

 

Hmph, just a poor girl!

 

Zuri was well aware of Shi Feifei's intentions—to make her feel isolated and upset.

 

But did she care about someone so insignificant?

 

Zuri didn't even bat an eye, completely ignoring Shi Feifei's theatrics.

 

Esme hesitated with the bag in her hand, "This is too expensive. You should take it back."

 

Shi Feifei waved her off dismissively, "Just take it. It's not a big deal. I have plenty of these at home."

 

Shen Menglai, on the other hand, was delighted with her new bag. She had always wanted a designer handbag but couldn't afford one. Now that she had one, she wasn't about to give it back.

 

Shen Menglai curiously asked, "Feifei, what does your family do? Your parents are so generous. They buy you anything you want."

 

Shi Feifei, eager to boast, proudly replied, "My family manufactures bathroom fixtures, exclusively supplying five-star hotels. We have two factories."

 

Shen Menglai was visibly impressed, "I had no idea we had a wealthy heiress in our dorm."

 

Esme also looked at Shi Feifei with a hint of envy.

 

"Tomorrow, let's all go out for dinner together. Does anyone object?" Shi Feifei suggested, glancing at Zuri out of the corner of her eye.

 

Shen Menglai smiled, "I just mentioned it to Zuri earlier, and we were waiting for you to get back to hear your thoughts. Looks like we're all on the same page. I'm new to the city and don't know where the good restaurants are. Do you?"

 

Esme shook her head, "I'm also new here."

 

Shi Feifei offered, "I'll make the reservations. I'm familiar with this city."

 

"Great!" Shen Menglai agreed enthusiastically.

 

Shi Feifei and Shen Menglai continued chatting excitedly, with Esme occasionally joining in, but mostly listening. Meanwhile, Zuri, uninterested, kept her earphones in, listening to foreign languages.

 

Meanwhile, the Feng brothers had a rare moment together at home.

 

"Zuri's in the capital now. Shouldn't we go visit her?" Owen suggested. "Even if she doesn't want us to escort her, we can still check on her."

 

"You're going to the academy?" Adam gave him a sideways glance as if looking at a fool. "You showing up wouldn't be 'checking on Zuri,' it would be a disaster."

 

Owen was silenced by the reprimand.

 

Finally, the usually quiet Nolan spoke up, "Let's invite her to dinner over the weekend. She's wary of us right now, so if we push too hard, it'll backfire."

 

Adam nodded in agreement, "Take it slow. Zuri isn't superficial; she's independent and strong-willed. We need to approach her gently, not force our way into her life. That would only make things worse."

 

After a moment, Adam turned to Owen, "Did you understand what I just said?"

 

Owen rolled his eyes, "It's not rocket science."

 

"Then why did you show up at her place with several carloads of gifts, attracting a bunch of thieves? If big brother hadn't had someone watching outside, Zuri would've been in serious trouble."

 

Recalling that incident, Owen looked down, speaking in a low voice, "Alright, I get it. I won't do anything like that again."

 

Damn it, who knew those idiots would flash cash in broad daylight?

 

His good intentions had backfired, nearly causing trouble for Zuri.

 

Feeling guilty, Owen remained silent.

 

After some discussion, the three brothers agreed on a strategy of gentle persuasion, intending to win Zuri over slowly and carefully.
