Bab 32: The most annoying thing!
Mei Qian was standing there smugly on the door.
"I didn't expect for you to be riche rich." She smirked at Yan Shu.
"I also didn't expect for you to come. Miss Mei seems to be very concerned for me." Yan Shu also scoffed and turned around.
"Mo Ran." Just then, Sheng Chen, the main protagonist arrived. She was breathing heavily. Seemed like she came running here.
"What happened to you?" Yan Shu furrowed her brows. It seemed like Mei Qian ditched them.
"Huan Shi was the one who invited Mei Qian. I really tried to stop him but... She took the elevator, the other was occupied and I had no choice but to come through the stairs." Before Yan Shu could invite her, she entered by herself and took a seat in the sofa so casually that it seemed like she was a regular visitor here.
Since, Sheng Chen already got in, there was no reason to keep Mei Qian outside so out of courtesy, she invited her too.
Shortly after, Huan Shi and Cheng Han also arrived.
"Guys, what do you feel like eating? Feel free to write down anything you would like to eat now here." Yan Shu gave them a paper and pen .
"Are you going to cook for us?" Cheng Han gaped at Mo Ran.
"No.." Yan Shu replied indifferently.
"Can't you see where she lives? Do you expect a princess to know cooking? Not to mention she looks like a spoiled one." Mei Qian scoffed staring at Mo Ran in disdain.
"You don't have to worry about me." Yan Shu rolled her eyes at Mei Qian then took the papers from them and headed to the master bedroom.
She took pictures of the papers and sent them to Old Master Su.
[Mo Ran : Sorry for the trouble, Grandpa.]
[Grandpa : How is it trouble? My granddaughter is having her friends over at home for the first time. Just enjoy. The food will arrive soon.]
Yan Shu then came out and joined in their conversation.
"What happened to you yesterday?" Sheng Chen pulled Mo Ran by her side. She patted her hands and gazed with concern.
"Just a normal faint. Nothing much." Yan Shu said calmly.
"You missed the most important part of the event yesterday. After you, Su Jiacheng came and took away Old master Su and Mu Shao followed along. Then even Morgan Luo left the event too. You can't imagine how Li Qiuqiu looked after that. It was so much worth laughing for." Sheng Chen broke into laughter as she remembered Li Qiuqiu's facial expression from yesterday.
"Quite deserving." Yan Shu didn't want to create trouble for anyone at school but that Li Qiuqiu seemed to be messing with her yesterday. She cannot just let her go easily.
After all Yan Shu only follows one motto, 'an eye for an eye'.
"To be honest, she's jealous of you. Before she was the prettiest of our class and second to Zeng Chi in school but after your arrival she became a nobody." Sheng Chen shook her head in denial. She wondered what others saw in that pretentious lotus flower.
"Besides, I think that since she couldn't win in beauty, she will try to get back the attention in the monthly test." Sheng Chen added.
"Hey, you. How good are you in studies?" Mei Qian was sitting opposite to them with her legs crossed. Although she isn't yet fond of Mo Ran, to her Mo Ran was at least better than that Li Qiuqiu who used to suck up to Mei Qian and her group to take advantage of them. Hence, she thought it would be fun watching Li Qiuqiu get crushed by Mo Ran.
"Just so so." Yan Shu replied hesitantly. She had already studied the second year whole syllabus years ago. Now that, she hasn't attended in any exam for a long time she wasn't certain about the outcome. Moreover, she had to finish the notes of Dark Magus within this month for which she might not be able to even revise the study materials of school before exams.
"What's the point of your beauty if you only have a so so brain?" Mei Qian rolled her eyes at her. She thought she finally got a fun drama to watch at school but the horse she had bet on turned out to be a brainless one.
"Mo Ran doesn't need to rank up. After all, we have Huan Shi, the unbeatable." Cheng Han chided.
Cheng Han and Huan Shi had no interest over the conversation the girls were having. So they were playing games when Cheng Han heard Mei Qian criticizing Mo Ran. He didn't know why they wanted Mo Ran to beat Li Qiuqiu in rank even when they had Huan Shi in their group. To him, girls like Mo Ran should only stay pretty and cute rather than studying hard and getting dark circles to rank on top.
"My hands have been itching excessively these days. It's probably because it has been a long time since I used them on someone." Mei Qian glared at Cheng Han and pretended to rub her palms intensively over her thighs.
Cheng Han shivered suddenly. The last time he got beaten by Mei Qian made him bedridden for almost a week. Hearing her, he felt pain over his past wounds. He didn't want to die soon so he just quietly lowered his head and went back to gaming.
Beside him, Huan Shi patted his shoulder out of pity.
"Looks like I'll need to concentrate on my classes. I will pass my notes to you then." Sheng Chen said helplessly.
"Do you really think your notes will help her? I wonder if you even know the basics of algebra." Mei Qian mocked.
"Then why don't you help?" Sheng Chen pursed her lips.
"Huan Shi will give his copies to her." Mei Qian smiled broadly then raised her brows at Huan Shi.
"Sure." Huan Shi replied indifferently. He was basically a puppet of Mei Qian so how could he disobey her!!
"See problem solved. She just needs to memorize them." Mei Qian shrugged.
"Thanks but it's okay. I can manage." Yan Shu dismissed their offers.
"Mo Ran, he will be fine without those copies. You should consider taking them. We can't let Li Qiuqiu walk all over you." Sheng Chen persisted.
"I'll let you know if I need any help then." Yan Shu comforted her. Yan Shu didn't know why she was worrying so much when the main protagonist doesn't give a damn about those.
"Don't forget to submit your homeworks." Huan Shi chided.
"Oh my... yes." Sheng Chen yelled suddenly. Her eyes widened as she remembered something.
"Mo Ran, no matter how well you do in exams it will all go in vain if you don't submit the monthly homeworks before the exam." Cheng Han interjected.
'Homework!' Yan Shu's eyelids twitched. How long has it been since she did her last homework!? She had almost forgot about them. She had no patience in wasting her time in those homeworks.
"What if I don't submit?" Yan Shu frowned.
"Don't blame me when you will get donkey eggs on your report card." Cheng Han chided.
[Ranran : Brother, Are you free tonight?]
[Brother : Yes.]
[Ranran : See you at home.]
[Brother : I'll be back before 9.]
Yan Shu smiled inwardly. She found the person on whom she can dump the annoying thing called homework. ^_^
Inside the CEO's office
"Clear my schedules after 9." Su Jiacheng lifted his head from the document he was reading to look at Assistant Zheng who've been standing there for God knows how long.
"But we have already postponed it many times. Director Zhai would be displeased." Assistant Zheng didn't know why his boss had a gloomy face since he came to the office. He actually came to the room more than an hour ago but seeing the grumpy faced Su Jiacheng, he didn't know how to proceed resulting in him standing by the door for a long time.
"Do you think I care?" Su Jiacheng furrowed his brows and gazed at Assistant Zheng. Looked like, if assistant Zheng doesn't do as told, Su Jiacheng might eat him alive at that moment right there.

The living room of Yanjing's 30th floor was unusually lively today. Although the main dishes haven't arrived yet, there were different kinds of snacks, sweets and juices stored in the kitchen.
'It doesn't look like the house has been locked up for a long time. I wonder who lives here.' Yan Shu decided to ask Old Master Su about the Yanjing apartment. Basically, this was better for her to spend time than her Jingsheng home. At least she will be away from that weird neighbour Si Junyan.
"Mo Ran, do you live here alone?" Cheng Han put down his glass and stood up to walk around. After chatting, they've become quite close. Mo Ran didn't seem like that cold outside the school rather she was so easygoing to get along too that although he and Huan Shi actually came just to accompany Sheng Chen but they were enjoying their time after coming here too.
"Not really." Yan Shu replied. It would be suspicious if she said she lived alone. After all she was still underage.
"Then who do you live here with?" Sheng Chen was also curious about Mo Ran. It was just that she thought it would be rude to ask her but since Cheng Han had already started the conversation she decided to take a chance.
